“Do you guys think I’ll be able to meet President He today?”
“How is that possible? I heard that President He went on a business trip with Assistant Yang.”
“What a pity. The last time I saw him at the staff cafeteria, I was so excited that I couldn’t sleep for a long time. He’s so handsome! He has a noble temperament and comes from a rich family.”
…
When Chen Wei’er heard this, she stopped in her tracks. He went on a business trip? Was he deliberately avoiding her? At this moment, someone suddenly patted her. It was Wang Xiao.
Chen Wei’er was startled and took a few steps back.
Seeing this, Wang Xiao approached her without saying anything. “I’m sorry to have scared you. Teacher Chen, are you going to eat?”
Chen Wei’er took a few steps back. “Manager Wang, please stay away from me. I’m sweating all over.”
“Oh, is that true? You girls smell nice even when you sweat. I’m fine.” Because Chen Wei’er moved, Wang Xiao smelled a faint fragrance.
“Manager Wang, you’re so humorous.” Chen Wei’er politely smiled and changed the topic. “Manager Wang, are you going to the cafeteria too?”
Wang Xiao nodded. “Teacher Chen, you don’t have to be so formal. You can just call me Wang Xiao. Are you going to the staff cafeteria too?”
“Yes, I heard that the staff meal at the He Group is very delicious. I want to try it.” Chen Wei’er wanted to know what He Xun’s food tasted like all these years.
Wang Xiao chuckled. “You might not know this. The He Group’s cafeterias require the use of employee cards.”
“What?” Chen Wei’er didn’t know about this.
Wang Xiao looked at her vexed face and laughed. “I wonder if Teacher Chen can give me a chance to treat you to a meal? Even though it’s the staff cafeteria.”
“No need,” Chen Wei’er quickly waved her hand.
Wang Xiao said seriously, “What? Does it matter?” We’re business partners. If you truly feel embarrassed, you can treat me to a meal next time.”
Since he had already said so, Chen Wei’er couldn’t say anything more. The two of them went to the staff cafeteria. However, on the way, Chen Wei’er felt many eyes on them. She didn’t understand, but she would know why after eating.
Chen Wei’er went to the bathroom after dinner and heard a few people talking in the cubicle, “Who is the person beside Wang Xiao?”
“I think she’s the new dance teacher. I saw the dance uniform she was wearing.”
“She’s so young, but she’s already a dance teacher? Is she qualified to enter the He Group? She must have used some method to trade her body for this opportunity. No wonder she got Wang Xiao on the first day.”
“Not necessarily. She and Wang Xiao have some work interactions, so they’ll inevitably be in contact. Don’t worry, Wang Xiao will be yours sooner or later!”
“I hope so too. Let’s go.”
The voice gradually faded away, and Chen Wei’er’s expression became more and more unpleasant. However, when she returned to the dance studio, she continued to stretch as if nothing had happened. She didn’t care about the rumors of some small characters. After she subdued He Xun, she would fire these people who didn’t work well.
At this moment, a girl suddenly said, “Teacher Chen, you’ve finished eating so quickly?”
Chen Wei’er turned her head. It was the girls who had learned to dance today. Hearing the others call the girl Guo Dan, Chen Wei’er smiled and said, “Well, I don’t have much of an appetite. Have you eaten?”
“Yes.” Guo Dan’s face reddened as if she had mustered up her courage. “Teacher Chen, what’s your relationship with Manager Wang?”
Chen Wei’er felt helpless. Guo Dan was truly young and dared to ask anything. “We’re colleagues. He’s in charge of the training this time, and I’m in charge of teaching you how to dance. What’s wrong?”
“I heard some bad things,” Guo Dan said as she felt embarrassed. “Teacher Chen, please don’t take them seriously. They’re all saying that you have an improper relationship with Manager Wang.”
“Really?” Chen Wei’er exaggeratedly replied. “But this is the first time I’m meeting him.”
“Really? I knew it!” Guo Dan was pleasantly surprised. “Wang Xiao is surely not that kind of person!”
Chen Wei’er was speechless. So, was she that kind of person? However, she couldn’t be bothered to argue with a 19-year-old girl. “But I’m really curious. It’s my first day here. Why would there be such a rumor?”
Guo Dan said awkwardly, “Because Manager Wang never eats with others. Teacher Chen is the first one. Plus, many young actors who just joined the company like Manager Wang. He’s in charge of our resources, so naturally, they’re a little jealous of you.”
“I see,” Chen Wei’er laughed. “But I think that if you like someone, you should spend more time with him and not waste time on others.”
Guo Dan’s face turned red, and she looked embarrassed. How did Chen Wei’er know that she liked Wang Xiao? Guo Dan wanted to say something but was interrupted.
“I’m not interested in who you love or hate. I’m here to teach you how to dance,” Chen Wei’er said. Of course, she also wanted to impress the He Group’s President! Her goal was very grand!
