The Green Tea Supporting Girl Is Still Playing Her Role Today (GL) - Extra 3

Extra 3

Two years later, Xie Zhifei was transferred to headquarters and smoothly became the general manager.

The position of market manager was then directly promoted from the regional manager, but the regional manager’s position became highly sought after.

After various evaluations and assessments, Wen Pinghan and Li Jiachuan’s performances stood out especially, and in the end, after a decision from above, Wen Pinghan became the new regional manager, while Li Jiachuan was transferred to headquarters and promoted to business unit manager.

As for this “above,” it was naturally Xie Hongxu.

Although they both worked at Qisheng, he did not want Xie Zhifei and Wen Pinghan to work in the same department, lest it affect their judgment at work and easily influence their relationship; facing each other every day inevitably led to conflicts and rifts, and he, as their old father, truly worried himself sick over these two.

One moment he worried that rumors would spread and affect their moods, delaying the company’s operations, and the next he worried that the two would really break up.

After these two years of interaction, he found himself liking Wen Pinghan more and more.

Wen Pinghan, though not like Xie Zhifei in knowing how to act spoiled or amuse him, cared for him silently and gently in the details, without making anyone feel lifted too high or let down lightly. From her eyes and demeanor, it was clear that she truly regarded him only as Xie Zhifei’s father, with care and respect, rather than as Chairman Xie who could bring her benefits.

Both Xie Zhifei and Wen Pinghan had just been promoted and had a pile of things to handle; neither had it easier than the other, and each faced their own difficulties that they could only resolve on their own.

Their workplaces were no longer in the same building, so the two only met after work in the evenings, but because of the heavy workload, they often returned to find the other already asleep.

One day, Xie Zhifei finished a meeting and, on her way to a business trip, complained to Fang Ningshu: “We’re clearly living together, but I feel like the last time I properly saw her was over a month ago!”

“Nonsense, she was at headquarters for a meeting just last week.” Ever since becoming her secretary, Fang Ningshu had rolled her eyes more often.

“There were so many people at the meeting, and so much to discuss; I didn’t even have time to look at her properly.” Xie Zhifei said dejectedly.

“No problem, she looked at you properly; her eyes never left you.” Fang Ningshu said.

“Really!?” Xie Zhifei cupped her face and chuckled twice, then suddenly got angry. “Damn it, at the last morning meeting, I was in such a rush that I didn’t even put on makeup!”

Fang Ningshu: “……You’ve been seen by her at your ugliest, and you’re still worried about going barefaced?”

“Though I’ve been rich, cool, and failed exams, when have I ever been ugly?” Xie Zhifei stared at her intently and asked.

“……”

Less than a minute later, Xie Zhifei became resentful again: “Sigh, when will we get to meet next?”

Wen Pinghan had been on a business trip these past two days, and it was abroad, with a time difference.

“You’ll see her once she gets back.”

“When will she get back?”

“Naturally, when she gets back.”

“……”

Xie Zhifei had not been in the position long, so all major decisions still needed to be reported to Xie Hongxu, which was also his instruction.

Xie Hongxu wanted to retire; although he was gradually delegating power, he did not dare to let go completely and let her handle everything, so during her early days in the role, he kept requiring her to report all situations.

That day after work, Xie Zhifei returned to the Xie residence, prepared to tell him about the new plan, but as soon as she entered the door, she saw that Xie Hongxu was already eating dinner, and sitting across from him was none other than Wen Pinghan, whom she had not seen for several days!

“Sister, when did you get back!?” Xie Zhifei ran in joyfully.

Wen Pinghan turned her head, looked at her, and smiled: “I just arrived this afternoon. Fang Ningshu said you were in a meeting, so I didn’t disturb you.”

“Then why did you come here?” Xie Zhifei went to the kitchen herself to get a bowl and chopsticks and sat down beside her.

“It’s Winter Solstice today, so I came to make some dumplings for Uncle and eat them together.”

“You didn’t even tell me; what if I hadn’t come?”

“Didn’t I call to tell you to come?” Xie Hongxu suddenly spoke up.

Xie Zhifei: “You said it was for reporting, but you didn’t say Sister was back.”

Xie Hongxu put on a stern face: “What’s this? You don’t like the surprise I prepared for you?”

“How could that be? I love it!” Xie Zhifei turned her head and planted a loud kiss on Wen Pinghan’s cheek. “I’ve missed you so much!”

Xie Hongxu’s mouth twitched.

On the way back, the two seized the time to chat, but they ended up talking about work. After arriving home and taking a shower, Xie Zhifei came out in her bathrobe and saw Wen Pinghan still at the computer handling work, so she called out: “Sister~”

“Mm.” Wen Pinghan looked up at her briefly, then quickly lowered her head again. “Once you’re done showering, go to sleep quickly. Don’t you have a meeting tomorrow morning?”

“Hmph.” Xie Zhifei turned and went into the bedroom, but after a while, she came back to the study. “Sister.”

“Mm?” Wen Pinghan raised her head again.

“Don’t you feel really hot? Why do I feel like it’s so hot today?” Xie Zhifei fanned herself with her hand, then undid her bathrobe to reveal the sexy lingerie underneath.

Wen Pinghan’s gaze shifted slightly.

“It’s so hot; I’m going back to sleep first.” Xie Zhifei turned and returned to the room.

Moments later, the door opened, and Wen Pinghan appeared at the doorway, looking at her back as she took off the bathrobe, then walked up and hugged her from behind.

Xie Zhifei curved her lips.

The next day, Fang Ningshu noticed that Xie Zhifei had shaken off her gloom and was radiant, with more smiles on her face, so she asked: “She’s back?”

“Hee hee hee hee hee.”

“……”

“These days have gone on too long; you still need to find some romance, don’t you think?”

“Oh.”

“Let me find some more romance.” Xie Zhifei opened her phone and started searching for romantic restaurants, then called Wen Pinghan to ask her out for dinner.

Unfortunately, Wen Pinghan declined because of work.

Xie Zhifei wilted again.

She could not manage to schedule a meal for several days in a row.

Just then, Li Hongyan came to the company to discuss something with her, and the two casually picked a restaurant for dinner. Seeing her listless appearance, he asked: “You already know?”

“Know what?”

“That someone asked Wen Pinghan for her WeChat on the plane.”

“Huh? When did that happen?”

“Just a few days ago when she returned to the country. I happened to run into her on the plane. The person sitting next to her seemed to be a new hire from your company who asked for her WeChat.”

Xie Zhifei widened her eyes, then comforted herself: “It’s fine, it’s fine; she’s an intern, so it’s normal to want to get to know her. Maybe it’s something work-related.”

She said that, but Xie Zhifei still could not help overthinking and mused: “Do you think I’ve really gotten old and faded? What if someone more beautiful than me shows up, like a fresh flower or tender grass?”

Fang Ningshu: “Xie Zhifei, though you’ve been rich and failed exams, when have you ever been ugly?”

“……That’s true, but what if! What if someone else covets my person and tries to steal her from me? No, I need to check first.” Xie Zhifei said as she called Wen Pinghan’s secretary, pretending to be casual as she asked: “What is Manager Wen doing? If she’s free, have her call me back; I have something to discuss with her.”

“President Wen took a new hire out to lunch; they should be back soon.”

New hire!

Xie Zhifei hung up the phone and rushed straight to the branch office without stopping.

The employees saw her charging so urgently into President Wen’s office and thought something major had happened, so they whispered among themselves.

“I was just about to call you back; why did you come over?” Wen Pinghan said delightedly, standing up to pour her some coffee.

“I heard you took a company newbie out to lunch?” Xie Zhifei asked.

Wen Pinghan nodded and was about to speak when she heard her follow up: “Is it a boy or a girl?”

“A girl.”

“Young and beautiful?”

“Mm.”

“When did she join the company?”

“She just reported today.”

Xie Zhifei looked at her heartbrokenly: “On her first day, you took her out to eat? I’ve been trying to ask you out for days and couldn’t, boo hoo hoo.”

“I really couldn’t get away from the company side; sorry. Once I finish this busy period, I’ll properly keep you company, how about that? I’ll make you garlic spareribs.” Wen Pinghan hugged her and cooed softly.

Xie Zhifei asked aggrievedly: “What about that newbie?”

Wen Pinghan thought for a moment and made a call: “Come to my office.”

Xie Zhifei straightened her back and watched the door warily; she wanted to see just which little vixen it was!

The door was pushed open from outside, and the girl standing there was young and beautiful, barefaced, with her hair in a high ponytail, full of youthful energy, and her voice clear and bright: “What do you need me for?”

Xie Zhifei was shocked and stood up to examine her closely: “Wang Wan? When did you get back? How did you end up at Qisheng?”

“I just got back, but your HR really loved my resume and kept urging me, so I had to rush over and start work right away.” Wang Wan said smugly.

“Why didn’t you go work at Gu’s?”

“I’m already a small shareholder at Gu’s; going there wouldn’t be exciting, and the people below probably wouldn’t assign me any real tasks, but I’m still a bit short on management skills, so I came to your place to work and learn some experience.”

Xie Zhifei: “You’re good at scheming.”

Wen Pinghan smiled at Xie Zhifei: “Are you still mad now?”

Xie Zhifei gave an embarrassed smile: “How could I be mad at you, Sister? I was just afraid some little vixen would foolishly seduce you~”

Wang Wan: “Who could be as much of a little vixen as you?”

Xie Zhifei: “Sister, look at her; she’s actually pretty good. I’ve always wanted to be good friends with her. But she just doesn’t seem to like me and always scolds me~”

Wen Pinghan: “.”

Wang Wan: “After all these years, you’re still trying to play the green tea card to death on me, Xie Zhifei!”
