Tang Xia was clearly acting very strangely.

She looked tense, and her posture was even more rigid than before.

Jin Xinghan's eyes, which he dared not lift, prevented him from noticing Tang Xia's unusual behavior, while Tang Xia, who was also tense, did not catch the sarcastic tone in his words.

Tang Xia only breathed a sigh of relief after the two girls who were not far from their seats left.

I ran into Qiao Zhinuan again.

But this time it should just be a coincidence.

The person next to her must be her college roommate.

Tang Xia had met her by chance when she brought her something before; the two of them probably just came over to eat.

Fortunately, I changed my mind just as I was about to say it.

If Qiao Zhinuan finds out that she is planning to divorce Qiao Zhiyu and has asked him to transfer his assets in advance, that would be terrible.

She composed herself and smiled at the man in front of her: "Mr. Jin, have you decided what you'd like to eat?"

Jin Xinghan was feeling down.

After glancing at the menu a couple more times, I put it back on the table.

"Yes, you don't like it?"

Tang Xia was a little nervous.

Before booking this restaurant, she specifically checked online reviews, thinking it shouldn't be too bad.

"No." Seeing her somewhat flustered look, Jin Xinghan softened and explained, "I just remembered that I have an appointment with the family doctor today, so I can't eat anything."

Hearing this, Tang Xia's anxious heart calmed down a little.

"Although it's a bit of a pity, good health is more important. I'll ask Mr. Jin to join me for this thank-you dinner another time when there's an opportunity."

Tang Xia's words were perfectly tactful.

But because of the sincerity in his tone, no one would feel offended by it.

However, Jin Xinghan disliked her businesslike attitude.

Before parting, Jin Xinghan stopped in his tracks, his deep eyes fixed on the person in front of him: "Miss Tang, if you want a divorce, I can help you hire the best lawyer."

Tang Xia was also stunned for a moment.

She didn't know why Jin Xinghan would suddenly say that.

But she still shook her head and declined: "Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Jin, but I really don't need it for the time being."

She already has a very good lawyer.

Jin Xinghan couldn't quite describe how she felt when she heard her answer, but she definitely felt terrible.

So much so that after Wen Qi examined him, he almost had to be taken to the emergency room.

Wen Qi is his family doctor and also his friend of many years.

"Xinghan, you must control your emotions. If you continue like this, even if you find a suitable heart, your body may not be able to hold out until the surgery."

"I know, long-winded."

Wen Qi was so angry he almost died, and couldn't help but blurt out, "Fine, I won't take care of you anymore!"

Before he even reached the door, he suddenly turned back: "By the way, do you know what Jin Yao has been up to lately? She's been acting all mysterious, and she won't even answer my calls."

Jin Xinghan finished dressing, glanced at him, and said casually, "I recently took on a new case, so I should be busy. By the way, when will your dad be back?"

The Wen family is a family of doctors, and Wen Qi's father is one of the best doctors in China specializing in congenital heart disease.

Jin Xinghan was also pulled back from the brink of death by him several times.

Originally, we wanted to ask him to treat Niannian, but unfortunately, Mr. Wen went abroad for study and exchange before Tang Xia gave birth.

"It should be soon. They were supposed to be back this week, but it seems their latest research project has made new progress. I guess the earliest we can expect is next week. What, are you missing my dad?"

Jin Xinghan shot him a sharp look and sneered, "Would you dare say that to your father?"

Wen Qi shrugged.

Of course he didn't dare.

"Fine, it's too boring being with you. I'm leaving. Remember to take your medicine."

After Wen Qi left, Jin Xinghan stared at his phone for a long time.

He didn't send the documents his assistant had prepared until it was completely dark.

[These are the team members for the library project. Two of them are newcomers like you, so don't worry too much.]

Tang Xia had just finished showering when she received this message.

She immediately sent a thank-you voice message.

But no further reply was received.

Fortunately, she was already used to his aloofness.

The next day.

Tang Xia got up very early.

Perhaps because I was too nervous, I dreamt all night last night.

The images of her past and present lives intertwined, making it difficult for her to distinguish between reality and illusion when she woke up.

Seeing that she didn't look well, Qiao Zhiyu took a bite of his bun before saying, "Huanyu is a big company, efficient and fast-paced. You've never worked before. If you really can't stand it, you should resign, or you can find a smaller company."

It's unclear whether his words were genuine concern or simply sarcastic.

Tang Xia ignored his words and continued packing her things, her tone indifferent: "Big companies have their advantages too. When I first graduated, I also received an offer from Huanyu. They should have been satisfied with my abilities. You—"

"It's not on my way, you should take a taxi."

Tang Xia hadn't even finished speaking when Qiao Zhiyu rejected her.

She merely glanced at the car keys on the table.

She said nonchalantly, "I just wanted to remind you that the car needs to be taken for its annual inspection."

Qiao Zhiyu's face stiffened, and he said nothing more.

Tang Xia took her first day at work very seriously, even calculating the time spent in traffic. In the end, when she arrived at the company, there was still half an hour before she was supposed to clock in.

But she doesn't think she's making a mountain out of a molehill.

It's better to pay attention than to ignore it.

During this time, Tang Xia took the opportunity to familiarize herself with the distribution of various departments within Huanyu.

Although she had been there a few times, she had only been to Jin Xinghan's office and knew nothing about the other places.

As she was strolling around, she bumped into Lin Jing downstairs.

She was hesitating whether to go up and say hello.

After all, the other party seemed to be in a hurry, and they had only met once, so they didn't know if the other party remembered them.

Lin Jing waved to her first: "Miss Tang, what a coincidence."

Tang Xia walked over with a polite smile: "Good morning, Secretary Lin."

"You don't have an employee badge yet, do you? Perfect, I'll take you upstairs."

"Thank you."

The two entered the elevator together.

But strangely, the person who was just in a hurry suddenly calmed down.

She didn't ask any further questions.

Lin Jing, standing beside her, was trying to calm her breathing.

She wasn't supposed to start work this early today, but her boss told her to come ahead and show Tang Xia around the company, which she almost forgot about.

Luckily, we met downstairs.

Lin Jing led her directly to her workstation: "The HR department shouldn't be open yet. Fill out your basic information first, and I'll give it to them later to expedite the process. Your employee ID will be ready this morning."

"Okay, please."

"No trouble."

Tang Xia sat down in the chair and began to fill out the form carefully.

Lin Jing, of course, wasn't idle either; she reported her work progress to her boss.

Miss Tang has arrived and looks to be in good spirits. Mr. Jin, when will you arrive?

I'm going on a business trip to the next city today, so I won't be going to the office.

[Understood, I will definitely take good care of Miss Tang!]

As an excellent CEO secretary, understanding the unspoken meaning of the boss's words is the most basic skill.
