Quick Wear: The Rescue Plan of the Male Supporting Actor of the Popular Cannon Fodder

Chapter 303: Saving the Paranoid and Vengeful Business Leader 47

The next morning, Special Assistant Xu knocked on the door of Ji Xingyan's office, ready to report on what happened at the dinner yesterday and to hand the signed contract to Ji Xingyan for review.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I entered the office, I saw Ji Xingyan sitting listlessly in front of the desk, with his hands crossed on the table, and his eyes seemed a little dazed, as if he was thinking about something important.

There were faint dark circles under his eyes, clearly showing that he hadn't slept well last night.

Special Assistant Xu was secretly shocked. In his mind, President Ji had always been a synonym for strong. Ever since President Ji took over the company, he had always looked calm and powerful. When had he ever looked so haggard?

Special Assistant Xu asked cautiously, "Mr. Ji, do you need me to pour you a cup of coffee?"

After hearing Special Assistant Xu's question, Ji Xingyan finally came back to his senses. He said calmly, "No need. Let's first report on the cooperation discussed at the dinner yesterday."

"Okay." Special Assistant Xu immediately took out the contract signed yesterday, and then took out the records made based on yesterday's dinner.

After looking through it carefully, Ji Xingyan praised: "Well done. When the project is successfully finalized, I will give you a week's vacation."

Hearing this, Special Assistant Xu was stunned for a moment, then reacted and immediately said with a smile: "Thank you, President Ji!"

Ji Xingyan smiled and said, "Okay, if you have nothing else, go out and do your thing."

"Okay." Special Assistant Xu nodded slightly and prepared to leave the office.

However, just as he reached the door, he heard Ji Xingyan calling him again.

"After all these years of interacting with me, what kind of person do you think I am?" Ji Xingyan asked.

When Special Assistant Xu heard Ji Xingyan ask this question, he suddenly felt a chill in his heart.

I suddenly recalled the time when I was dating my wife. My wife, who was still my girlfriend at the time, asked him: "What do you think of me? Why do you like me? What do you like about me?"

In his opinion, such a question is simply a fatal question in love.

And the question that Ji Xingyan asked now also made him feel that it was a fatal question in his career.

Judging from his interactions with Ji Xingyan over the years, Ji Xingyan should not be the kind of boss who likes to be flattered. Then why would Ji Xingyan suddenly ask him such a question now?

Special Assistant Xu hesitated for a long time and decided to throw the question back to Ji Xingyan to see his attitude.

So he asked, "Mr. Ji, why do you suddenly have such doubts?"

Ji Xingyan sighed softly upon hearing this. He turned around in his chair, facing the floor-to-ceiling window in his office, and casually made up an excuse: "You know, I have a sister. I've had some misunderstandings with her recently. She thinks I'm too stubborn and self-righteous, so now she's not very willing to communicate with me... So I'm wondering if my stubbornness has hurt her... I don't know how to apologize to her."

Special Assistant Xu was slightly startled, then a gentle smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He didn't expect that President Ji, who was aloof in front of outsiders, would have such troubles.

Special Assistant Xu smiled and said, "Mr. Ji, my interactions with you are mainly about work. Although you can be a bit stubborn at times, your stubbornness is not without good results. At least your stubbornness in work has indeed led our Ji Group to a higher level."

Special Assistant Xu paused and continued, "As for close relationships... being stubborn and self-righteous isn't exactly a good word to describe them. And sometimes being too stubborn can really hurt the people you care about. However, it's a good thing you're aware of this now. At least it means you've realized you should consider other people's feelings. If you find a chance to apologize to your sister, she'll definitely stop minding it!"

Ji Xingyan raised his eyebrows and asked softly, "Submit? What does it mean to submit?"

When Special Assistant Xu heard Ji Xingyan's question, he was stunned at first, then he thought about it and realized that President Ji seemed to have little contact with the opposite sex. It was really a fantasy for President Ji to give in and coax people.

So Special Assistant Xu was silent for a moment, then said, "Boss Ji, let me give you an example. Although I don't have a sister, I am married and have a wife."

"When my wife and I were younger, we would occasionally argue. Reasoning with her when she was angry wouldn't work, but as long as I tried to be soft-hearted and coax her, and bought her a gift, she would calm down. And if I sincerely admitted my mistake and promised not to do it again, she wouldn't continue to hold it against me. So we haven't argued in years now."

After listening to Special Assistant Xu's words, Ji Xingyan nodded thoughtfully and replied, "I see. Okay, I understand. Thank you."

Special Assistant Xu smiled politely and said, "Mr. Ji, you're too kind. I was just sharing this casually. I hope you and your sister can resolve this misunderstanding as soon as possible."

"If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."

Ji Xingyan nodded slightly, and then Special Assistant Xu left the office.

......

As the afterglow of the setting sun gradually faded, Ji Xingyan finally finished a busy day at work. He tidied up the documents on his desk and prepared to leave the office, asking the driver to take him back to the villa.

In the spacious back seat, he called Xue Shuran as usual, ready to inquire about Xue Shuran's filming progress on the crew today.

Unexpectedly, when the call was connected, it was Xue Shuran who spoke first: "Brother, can you send a driver to the crew to pick me up now? I want to go back to the villa today."

Ji Xingyan frowned slightly and asked with concern: "What's wrong? Did something happen? Is someone bullying you?"

Xue Shuran quickly denied it, "No, no, brother, it's just that after the Dragon Banquet dinner yesterday, I didn't find a suitable time to talk to you alone, so I wanted to come back and talk to you face to face later."

After hearing Xue Shuran's reply, Ji Xingyan's worries were slightly relieved. He said gently, "I'm on my way back now. In that case, I'll have the driver turn around and pick you up. I'll call you when we get there."

"All right."

After hanging up the phone, Ji Xingyan immediately asked the driver to change the itinerary and drive towards the film and television base.

After a while, the driver brought Ji Xingyan to the gate of the ancient costume film and television base.

The car had just stopped and before Ji Xingyan had time to call Xue Shuran, he heard a gentle knock on the car window.

Ji Xingyan looked up and found that Xue Shuran was already standing in front of the back door, so he quickly signaled the driver to unlock the door.

With the sound of the car door "clicking", Xue Shuran opened the door and sat in the back seat lightly.

Ji Xingyan glanced at Xue Shuran who was sitting beside him and asked, "What do you want to tell me?"

Xue Shuran raised her eyes and glanced at the driver sitting in front of her, then whispered, "Let's talk about it when we get back."

"Okay." Seeing this, Ji Xingyan didn't ask any more questions and said to the driver in front: "Let's go back to the villa now."

The driver responded, the car started slowly, and soon drove away from the film and television base.

It was not until it was completely dark that the car finally drove back to the villa area.

Upon returning to the villa, Xue Shuran deliberately asked the housekeeper and servants to leave first, and then solemnly asked Ji Xingyan: "Brother, tell me the truth, do you still hate Wen Yang? What do you really think of her?"
