He reached out and handed me his jacket without getting up, continuing to look at the documents in his hands.
With nothing to do, standing or sitting felt pointless, so I simply put on his clothes. The sleeves were too long, so I rolled them up and walked over to him, saying, "Do you want me, your secretary, to help you with something?"
I was just asking casually; I couldn't really get involved in Xiao Minxing's work. At most, I would help him organize some documents like before.
To my surprise, he casually handed me two folders from the table and said, "Sure, take these and have a look. Write down your thoughts and decisions, and give them to me later."
I stared at him in disbelief, swallowed hard, and tapped on his desk, saying, "Honey, it's me! Are you confused from looking at the documents? How can I understand this kind of stuff?"
Xiao Minxing looked up with bright eyes and even smiled at me before saying, "You haven't even looked yet. How do you know you can't understand? Hurry up; try to finish early so we can go home sooner."
I didn't even know what to say. Seeing him lower his head to work again as if it was no big deal made me feel like I had no choice but to take the documents and look at them.
Fortunately, I had seen enough of Xiao Family's past records that although the content here was somewhat different, I could still understand the data and some key points.
So I quickly finished one document and then looked at the signature section at the end. Feeling a bit dizzy, I raised my head to look at Xiao Minxing.
At that moment, he was writing with a pen. From my angle, I could see his strong facial features; even the way he held the pen was powerful. The pen tip glided across the paper, making a faint scratching sound.
Alright then, I also needed to write my opinions. Since this was just communication between us and not for his colleagues at the company, I casually took a sticky note from the desk and wrote down my thoughts.
By the time I finished reading both documents in my hands, over an hour had passed.
Xiao Minxing took the sticky note along with the documents from me and placed it on top of the folder without even glancing at the words above. He called his assistant over with a phone call.
I still hadn't figured out what he was planning to do when this Good Fellow handed the documents to his assistant and said, "Take this to Manager Wu. If there are any issues, have him contact me quickly. If not, proceed according to this method."
I was so anxious that I almost grabbed the assistant immediately, but then Xiao Minxing stood up and said to me, "Let's go. I said we would go home after you finish watching."
"But that..." Looking at the assistant walking towards the door, I was really about to panic.
He just smiled and leaned in to ask me, "What's wrong? Feeling insecure? That's not like you. Don't worry, Manager Wu will review it. If it's really outrageous, he definitely won't pretend he didn't see it."
"But you're being too casual about this; you didn't even take a glance." I genuinely felt he was too carefree. Just looking at the data on the document made it clear how important this matter was. I was very careful while writing it. If it weren't for the support from our discussions as a couple, I wouldn't have dared to put pen to paper. Yet this guy didn't even read a single word and just submitted it for execution. Was he trying to let a woman handle politics? Did he not care about his position anymore?
No matter how much I expressed my concerns, Xiao Minxing's response remained that we would wait for Manager Wu to review it before making any decisions. He then changed the subject and asked me, "How do you feel about your first day at Anxing?"
"It was fine. Bai Xiaoqing managed things very well there. Even if I didn't go, nothing much would happen." This was something I couldn't understand.
However, Xiao Minxing said, "Of course. Bai Xiaoqing is the director over here at Zhi Xing, managing the operations of several subsidiaries below her. If she can't handle a comic studio, what is she even doing?"
I stared at him in disbelief and finally managed to ask, "What did you say?"
He explained to me about Bai Xiaoqing.
It turned out that the head of this original comic studio was not only the director of his company but also managed businesses belonging to his subsidiaries—some of which even outsiders didn't know were under Xiao Minxing's control.
In other words, she represented a part of Xiao Minxing's potential assets that were hidden beneath the surface, managing more accounts than those visible on Zhi Xing.
So at that time, managing the studio was just a side gig for her.
Xiao Minxing said, "It seems she also enjoys drawing in her spare time, so back then we let her manage it as well. Now that you're back, she naturally needs to remove her responsibilities here and focus on other things."
I angrily pinched his arm and asked, "Why didn't you say this earlier? You made me think I came here and took over someone else's well-done job. I feel so guilty!"
Xiao Minxing laughed out loud, saying, "No way, Qiu Yuan, don't tell me you have no insight at all. You’ve been interacting with some businessmen lately; how could you not see how they operate?"
I didn't want to admit that I hadn't noticed anything, but at that moment, I really hadn't thought much about Bai Xiaoqing, so I could only roll my eyes.
He seemed quite interested and started telling me how to manage a studio in the future, how to assess people, and how to discern from their behavior who truly gets things done, who has talent, and who is just slacking off.
Well, it felt like I was attending a lively psychology class, with Xiao Minxing as the teacher—a person who already had some mental issues.
He looked quite happy. After driving out of Zhi Xing, he asked me, "How about we grab a bite outside? Let’s call Liu Jie and tell her not to wait for us. It feels like we haven't spent time alone together in ages."
"I can't. It's late now; they must have already prepared our meal. If we don't go back to eat, it would just go to waste. Besides, where have we not spent time alone? We sleep together every night."
As soon as Xiao Minxing heard this, he laughed again, his entire expression brightening up with a charming smile.
I sighed inwardly. Women really can't compare to men when it comes to the passage of time. After having a child, I felt like I aged ten years. Not only did I feel physically exhausted in many ways, but mentally I also felt like a mother.
However, Xiao Minxing had hardly changed at all. If anything, he was more composed than before and exuded the charm of a mature man.
A man like him would become the center of attention wherever he went and would be the target of countless women.
Thinking about it made me feel both excited and anxious. A diamond like him was out on the street for anyone to admire or touch; who knew when someone might take him away?
