Chapter 1222: Just Saying It Feels Good

Chapter 1222: Chapter 1222: Just Saying It Feels Good

"You’re being too formal!" President Chen instinctively wanted to shake hands.

But felt it was inappropriate.

Li Xiaoyun is a female subordinate, and if something goes wrong, it might be considered harassment.

Moreover, Li Xiaoyun is now Zhao Dingli’s wife.

She really needs to be protected like fine china.

President Chen even wanted to put a one-meter radius barrier around Li Xiaoyun to prevent any accidents at Ruishi, like bumps or bullying, which would then be hard to explain at Ruishi.

Zhou Yunyun and Lin Lingli were watching near the elevator.

They didn’t know when Li Xiaoyun would return.

All they heard was President Chen leading some leaders with a banner on the first floor.

It was the first time Lin Lingli and Zhou Yunyun heard of such a thing.

So, they weren’t there just to see Li Xiaoyun, but to witness the spectacle.

After all, they see Li Xiaoyun every day in the department.

Now they saw President Chen leading a group of company leaders, waiting like they were expecting Li Xiaoyun to inspect.

The two couldn’t help but want to laugh when they saw this scene.

Li Xiaoyun felt extremely awkward and could only whisper, "President Chen, I’m working here sincerely. So... nothing will change because I got married or who I married to."

"You really don’t need to be this courteous. Keep personal and professional matters separate. I didn’t plan on mixing personal affairs into work." Li Xiaoyun explained quietly.

"Such a big display, I really can’t handle it," Li Xiaoyun said. "No matter what my life is like outside the company, here, I’m just a small department manager."

"The way you’re doing this, it’s putting a lot of pressure on me," Li Xiaoyun said softly.

President Chen was just trying to show how much he valued Li Xiaoyun.

If Li Xiaoyun didn’t like it this way, he certainly couldn’t do something that would make her dislike it more.

President Chen said, "Should I have them take down the banner?"

Li Xiaoyun nodded vigorously and quickly said, "Yes, please take it down quickly."

President Chen quickly turned to the crowd behind him, "Quickly, get someone to take down the banner. Xiao Li wants to keep a low profile!"

Li Xiaoyun: "..."

Your shouting isn’t low profile at all.

The crowd then busily directed staff to take down the banner.

Although everyone was bustling around, making a grand spectacle.

At least the banner was taken down, and the scene looked much clearer.

"But, even though you’re low key, getting the certificate is such a big happy occasion, we must celebrate it," President Chen said again.

Li Xiaoyun looked at President Chen in shock, "In the company? That’s... not necessary."

Li Xiaoyun quickly said, "We definitely plan to celebrate, but only at home with the elders afterward."

As Li Xiaoyun said, President Chen seemed both in awe and envy.

The elders Li Xiaoyun mentioned were none other than the elders of the Zhao Family, right?

Thinking of those seniors of the Zhao Family, people usually don’t even have a chance to meet them.

But now, Li Xiaoyun is part of the family.

And they would celebrate together, have meals together.

President Chen couldn’t help but feel extremely envious.

"Celebrating with your family is one thing; this is another matter." President Chen said, "Don’t worry, I know you’re modest and don’t like to show off, so I just ordered a cake to be sent to each department for everyone to celebrate together."

Li Xiaoyun: "..."

Actually, she wasn’t very familiar with colleagues from other departments.

She couldn’t even name many of them.

And now they have to celebrate her getting the certificate?

Li Xiaoyun felt quite embarrassed herself.

However, this was much better than she had anticipated.

"I ordered an especially big one for your department, a three-tier cake!" President Chen added.

"..." Li Xiaoyun’s mouth twitched, quickly saying, "Thank you very much, you’ve really gone above and beyond."

"Oh, it’s nothing significant." Even though President Chen shook his head humbly, he was pleased with Li Xiaoyun’s gratitude.

At this moment, he was beaming with joy.

"You’re just too modest; otherwise, I would’ve wanted the whole company to have a get-together, make it like the annual party!" President Chen said happily.

Anyway, Li Xiaoyun wouldn’t let him do such a thing, so he was just saying it, not really planning to spend.

Enjoying the idea is satisfying enough!

Li Xiaoyun: "..."

Why don’t you say you’d cover the wedding too while you’re at it?

Li Xiaoyun suspected that President Chen was just talking big, but still said, "You’re too kind. We have so many colleagues in the company, many of whom have never even spoken to me and don’t know me at all. Celebrating my marriage seems a bit out of line and troublesome for everyone."

"I truly understand your intentions," Li Xiaoyun said.

President Chen was waiting for that sentence. Of course, he also hoped to hear Li Xiaoyun say that Zhao Dingli would know his intentions as well.

But Li Xiaoyun didn’t say it.

She wouldn’t represent Zhao Dingli in situations where it was obviously about personal gain.

And now, President Chen wouldn’t dare do anything to Li Xiaoyun.

Even if Li Xiaoyun planned to just hang around in the company, doing nothing, President Chen couldn’t say a word against it.

He’d even wish he could offer her a high-level salary.

Seeing that President Chen had no intention of leaving, Li Xiaoyun had to pluck up the courage and say, "President Chen, shall I head back to the business department to look for the cake you sent?"

Seeing that Li Xiaoyun still remembered his cake, President Chen was delighted.

This indicated that Li Xiaoyun actually kept his congratulations in mind.

"Yes, yes, hurry and go look, it should have already arrived." President Chen said, "If you wait too long, the cream might melt and it wouldn’t taste good."

Only then did Li Xiaoyun hastily walk away.

As she approached the elevator, she saw Zhou Yunyun and Lin Lingli there and quickly gave them a signal.

Zhou Yunyun and Lin Lingli immediately greeted her while pressing the elevator button.

Li Xiaoyun smiled and explained to President Chen, "They’re my colleagues from the department, we’ll head back together."

Anyway, this elevator couldn’t fit so many people.

So Li Xiaoyun quickly joined Zhou Yunyun and Lin Lingli in the elevator.

With so many people, President Chen couldn’t get in.

Also, facing the staff, President Chen had to maintain his dignity, and couldn’t blatantly curry favor with Li Xiaoyun.

Li Xiaoyun had purposely spoken quietly to President Chen just now, to preserve his dignity.

This made President Chen appreciate Li Xiaoyun even more.

Even with a tough backing like Zhao Dingli, she wasn’t being arrogant.

She still respected him just the same.

President Chen couldn’t help but sigh, this is why she could go far.

Free from the grand display of President Chen and the others, Li Xiaoyun finally breathed a sigh of relief.

As for the other staff in the elevator, they couldn’t help but look at her with curiosity.

But this situation, she had already experienced it from the first time Zhao Dingli came to pick her up, when people mistakenly thought they were dating.
