Chapter 7 The Love-Deprived CEO 7 (1/2)

"Really, you should take your things with you when you leave..."

Zi Xi muttered to herself, tossing Bai Qianqian's things in the cardboard box to the top. Luckily, Sister Wang said she could reimburse the travel expenses.

Suddenly, a hand with distinct knuckles firmly supported the corner of the box.

"Miss Shen."

The deep voice made Zi Xi turn her head to meet a pair of hawk-like eyes. Fu Senran was not wearing a tie today, and the top button of his shirt was undone, revealing his obvious collarbone.

His other hand rested on the car door, the black Bentley's paint reflecting her astonished face.

"Mr. Fu! Hello!"

Zi Xi nodded in greeting.

"I wonder if I could invite the kind Miss Shen to dinner?"

"If you accept my invitation to dinner, I can give you a ride later."

He spoke briefly, but his voice was at least eight octaves softer than it was in the office.

Zi Xi's eyes widened. She had heard a lot of gossip about Fu Senran in the secretariat.

It's said that he has a terrible temper. Although she was supposed to be dating, Zi Xi was still in the preparation stage when Fu Senran started to take the initiative and invite her to dinner!

But she couldn't miss the opportunity, so Zixi immediately nodded in agreement, thinking that having a meal would be a good chance to get to know his preferences.

Fu Senran's lips curled up as he opened the passenger door with the fluidity of a hotel doorman, gesturing for him to enter.

After getting in, Fu Senran gently tried to fasten her seatbelt. Zi Xi's ears suddenly burned, and she blurted out, "I will never refuse workplace unspoken rules!"

With a click, the seatbelt was fastened, and Fu Senran actually smiled this time, his eyes crinkling into crescents.

"Miss Shen, you don't seem afraid of me at all. Haven't you heard in the secretariat that I have a terrible temper?"

He bent down and put the cardboard box that Zixi was holding into the back seat.

As dusk deepened, a faint scent of sandalwood filled the Bentley's interior.

"President Fu, I'm just here for an internship at Fu's Group, and I haven't done anything wrong. Why should I be afraid of you?"

She knew he had a bad temper, but she had never seen him in that state before. Besides, she had never provoked him, so why would she think she was afraid of him?

"Miss Shen's idea is very novel. Does that mean Miss Shen's school isn't afraid of teachers?"

Noticing Zi Xi's questioning gaze, Fu Senran's tone suddenly softened.

Most people, upon hearing those rumors, would assume he's an easily angered person who throws tantrums, and would generally keep their distance.

I don't know whether to say she's really special, or that she's just fearless and not afraid of him at all.

"I'm ranked pretty well in my major, so I'm not afraid of the professors. Mr. Fu, I have a question for you."

Fu Senran's invitation today was quite unexpected, but Zi Xi had been preparing the questions she wanted to ask in her mind all along.

Fu Senran gestured for her to speak.

Why was Bai Qianqian suddenly dismissed?

"Did you fire her because you saw the argument in the secretarial department? Was it because the company installed surveillance cameras in the secretarial department?"

Zi Xi was quite curious to know what stage Fu Senran's affection for her had reached, and when he would lock her up in the manor where only she was.

She really can't wait to live a life where she doesn't have to clock in!

If you expose that he's been monitoring her every move, how will he treat her?

Unfortunately, Fu Senran dodged and retreated.

“There is such surveillance in the company. My assistant told me that there was someone who was not conducive to the unity of the company, so I took care of it. Are you unhappy?”

He might fire someone if he's unhappy, because that person made things difficult for her.
