Chapter 407: Chapter 237: Inviting President Feng for a SPA

Don’t let Ma Jing’s usual cleverness fool you; when it came to romance, she was a complete novice.

Chen Xiao had hugged her and gotten handsy with her several times. She’d always suspected that he had feelings for her, but she could never be sure!

So, on a few occasions, she’d even played dumb and assaulted his sensitive spots to test his reaction, but Chen Xiao had somehow managed to endure it!

This dealt a huge blow to Little Ma Jing’s self-esteem. ’He won’t even take what’s served to him on a platter. Brother Chen Xiao must not be interested in me!’

But if he wasn’t interested, why all the hugging and groping?

With this question in mind, she asked her best friend, who was also her old college roommate, "Milk Tea."

Milk Tea had chosen this online name because of her strong resemblance to the "Milk Tea Girl."

Based on Milk Tea’s analysis, the judgment was that Chen Xiao wasn’t uninterested, but that his reaction was the subconscious reflex of a man who’s outwardly stoic but inwardly passionate. Ma Jing’s fighting spirit was instantly restored!

Her next move was to continue testing whether Brother Chen Xiao was actually interested in her.

Inside the office, Chen Xiao wasn’t playing games. He felt that something was off about Ma Jing today, so he’d lost the mood for gaming.

Ma Jing entered the room and said sweetly, "Brother Chen Xiao, I’ve made the appointment. President Feng will call you in once she’s free!"

"Come here, let me feel."

Ma Jing’s face flushed. ’Brother Chen Xiao is so weird. When you’re flirty with him, he acts all serious!’

’And when you’re being serious, he starts getting fresh!’

’Are all scumbags like this? I’ll have to have a detailed discussion about this with Milk Tea later!’

Ma Jing lowered her head, walked up to Chen Xiao, and closed her eyes, all but saying, "Come on!"

Chen Xiao placed his hand on her forehead. "Huh? You’re not running a fever!"

Ma Jing’s eyes shot open. "Brother Chen Xiao, are you saying I’m sick, or are you saying I’m not hot enough?"

Chen Xiao was suddenly at a loss for words. It seemed like there was no right answer.

Luckily, a notification chimed on Ma Jing’s phone right then, saving Chen Xiao from having to reply.

Ma Jing glanced at her phone and exclaimed with delight, "Wow, the phone bill subsidy came in!"

Chen Xiao was speechless. ’She still gets excited about this little bit of money? Her monthly bonus is at least several hundred thousand!’

’This girl has no ambition. Or maybe she’s just easily pleased.’

"Brother Chen Xiao, quick, check if yours came in yet?"

"Not interested."

"Why not? Starting this month, my phone subsidy was raised from 200 a month to 600, and yours went from 400 to 2,000!"

’2,000? In the time it would take to check on that money, I could earn an amount with several more zeros. I already have my phone set to automatically treat a 4 million deposit notification as spam. Why would I bother looking at a measly 2,000?’

He glanced at his System and saw a notification. It had given him a Diligence Reward bonus of 128,000!

’This little bit of money really isn’t worth a second glance.’

That was just him, though. He was sure that if Ma Jing received 128,000, she would happily scream, "I can’t take it! I can’t take it anymore!"

Feng Feifei’s assistant called and asked Chen Xiao to come over.

"Should I pass on a message for you? Thank President Feng for increasing your phone subsidy?"

Ma Jing said wistfully, "No thanks. What if she expects something in return for her favor?"

Chen Xiao laughed out loud. "What could she possibly want from you in return?"

Ma Jing pouted. "I mean, she’ll want to be repaid with hugs—from you!"

Chen Xiao blushed. ’Damn, this little minx guessed it perfectly!’

"Don’t worry, I’m not that easy."

As he walked out the door, he heard her mutter, "But when you do get ’easy’, you’re practically a beast!"

Chen Xiao nearly tripped. ’Women... one minute they’re luring me in, the next they’re criticizing me. Isn’t this just entrapment?’

’I don’t know what’s gotten into Feng Feifei lately, but she’s started wearing skirts too!’

’Has spring arrived? Is everything budding with new life? Is it the season for mating and procreating the next generation?’

’But President Feng is still too conservative. That floor-length dress of hers only reveals her ankles even when she’s sitting down. It’s just not satisfying enough!’

Chen Xiao stared hard at her fair, jade-like ankles for a few moments before sitting down on the sofa next to her.

"President Feng, did you have a good weekend?"

"I didn’t get any rest this weekend."

Chen Xiao froze. ’Can’t President Feng take a hint? It was just a pleasantry, the same as asking "Have you eaten?"’

"Weren’t you the one who arranged for the international guests to visit this weekend? Did you forget?"

Chen Xiao scratched his head. "Ah, it was just small potatoes. I don’t really keep track of it."

Feng Feifei let out a light laugh, like a wintersweet flower blooming. For a moment, Chen Xiao was completely captivated.

"President Feng, why are you getting more and more beautiful?"

Feng Feifei blushed and said after a moment, "Chen Xiao, why are you getting so glib?"

"It’s from all the practice I get in sales!"

"Oh? And did you practice with Assistant Bai, with President Xu from Junxiao Group, or perhaps in front of all those pretty female client reps?"

Chen Xiao said with an air of righteous indignation, "President Feng, you’re so busy these days. You need to learn to focus on your primary duties and core business. You shouldn’t worry about things unrelated to work; you simply don’t have the energy for it!"

She huffed. "I don’t want to worry about it, but Assistant Bai told me you were planning to ask her and me to go for an essential oil spa together. What’s that all about?"

Chen Xiao was instantly tongue-tied. ’Bai Lu, you little snitch! Don’t you have a filter? How could you say something like that?’

’Didn’t we agree? We’d get President Feng drunk at the annual party, and then things would happen naturally!’

’What’s the point of telling her in advance? Are you trying to increase the difficulty level for me?’

"Why aren’t you answering?"

"Oh, I just saw how tired you always are and wanted to take you somewhere to relax. As for Bai Lu, she’s just accompanying the crown prince to his studies!"

"Crown prince? Who’s the crown prince? If she’s the one accompanying the prince to his studies, then who’s the one accompanying the prince to have his children?"

’What the hell? What kind of mental gymnastics is this? What is with today? First, I get provoked by Ma Jing, and now I’m getting cornered by Feng Feifei!’

’If the tiger doesn’t roar, you’ll mistake it for a sick kitty!’

"President Feng, I am cordially inviting you to an essential oil spa. So, your answer can be ’yes,’ ’yes,’ or ’yes.’ Which will it be?"
