captured by your prey

Zhou Sheng is not the type that Xie Xiyuan would be interested in. The two have met since Xie Xiyuan joined the job a few days ago, but they have never had any interaction other than business affairs.

At company gatherings or other events, Xie Xiyuan is often the most popular person in the crowd, while Zhou Sheng is just the opposite, she always sits on the sidelines without saying a word.It's not that he hates such occasions, it's just that Zhou Sheng's character is so unobtrusive.If it wasn't for Lin Rui's episode that day, Xie Xiyuan would never have noticed her no matter what.

"It's cold, be careful not to catch a cold, put on a scarf before coming back." Zhou Sheng said lightly.

The two rarely meet in front of the tea room.

She was always like that, if she had something to say besides official business, she would tell Xie Xiyuan like this.Xie Xiyuan smiled, and in Zhou Sheng's eyes, this smile looked like a child who didn't care about his strength.Of course, Zhou Sheng's age is indeed slightly older than Xie Xiyuan's. In her eyes, Xie Xiyuan is a young man with good spirits.

"By the way, when is your birthday?" Xie Xiyuan suddenly turned to ask her.

Zhou Sheng froze, not knowing what this person was thinking, so he asked, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, it's just that I know other people's birthdays, and I never asked about yours." Xie Xiyuan said casually, adding a large spoonful of sugar to his coffee.Zhou Sheng watched her movements, and just when she thought Xie Xiyuan tasted sweeter, he took a sip, then frowned and said that it was too sweet and it was unpalatable.

Zhou Sheng handed her a few packs of creamer for coffee, and she heard her asking perseveringly: "Tell me, tell me?" Zhou Sheng heard that tone, most likely coquettish Element.

"The last day of February," she said.

Xie Xiyuan laughed again: "I will remember it!"

"No, it's not a special day." After Zhou Sheng finished speaking, Xie Xiyuan looked at her seriously and told her, "Forget it—"

After finishing speaking, Xie Xiyuan thought for a while, and asked again: "Did you spend your birthday alone?"

After the voice fell, she dismissed herself again: "No, no, your lover will accompany you."

Seeing her reaction, Zhou Sheng wanted to laugh a little, and slightly responded with the corners of his lips curled up: "Yes."

In fact, Xie Xiyuan was not interested in Zhou Sheng's birthday, and what she said earlier was just a panic, she just wanted to find a topic to cut into Lin Rui.Zhou Sheng seemed to have a peaceful relationship with Lin Rui as usual, so Zhou Sheng still didn't know about it.

"She's very poor."

"What?" Su Su lowered her head and asked Xie Xiyuan whose head was resting on her lap.

"I don't know, I just have this feeling." Xie Xiyuan's face was covered with the book she didn't want to read any more. "I know it's terribly wrong, but it's just the way I look at her, and I don't know where it's coming from."

Xie Xiyuan sat up as she spoke, and the book on her face fell directly onto the sofa.

Su Su was playing with her mobile phone, and An Zhi next to her just took the takeaway order and went to the table to unpack it and eat it.Xie Xiyuan turned his head towards the two of them and said, "No, you haven't seen her before, she just has a... how should I put it, the feeling that she will be bullied and can't bear to keep silent .”

"Are you saying that your boss is easy to bully?" An Zhi said next to him with chopsticks in his mouth.

"No, of course I didn't mean that... That feeling, I mean, it's just the feeling she gave me." Xie Xiyuan admitted that he couldn't describe it well.

The reason why she thinks so is not that she has a good voice in affairs, but that when she gets along with others in private, she always looks like she doesn't take the initiative to signal anything, and doesn't express her dissatisfaction or anything. mood.Any gesture you make to her is like a stone thrown into a pool of water. There will be a "plop" when it falls, but soon the water will calm down and the stone will slowly sink to the bottom .

People who are near this water pool can easily mistakenly think that it can swallow a lot of things.But in fact, those things that were thrown down did not disappear without leaving a trace, they just lay quietly in the depths of the pool.

Su Su glanced at Xie Xiyuan, and wanted to say something, but seeing her look, she gave up.

"This place, I always feel that something is not reasonable." Xie Xiyuan spread the document on Zhou Sheng's desk, and then pointed to the form on it.

Zhou Sheng glanced at it, and then explained to Xie Xiyuan bit by bit.In fact, Xie Xiyuan basically didn't listen to what she said, it wasn't that she didn't understand those places, she just wanted to find an excuse to come here.After the end, Xie Xiyuan pretended to think of something suddenly from the door, turned back to Zhou Sheng's desk and said: "This is my contact information, if I have any other questions, I will ask you at any time, so You have to add me quickly."

She deliberately put on a very tough posture and approached Zhou Sheng: "Don't forget, this is very important."

Zhou Sheng smiled helplessly and said yes, seeing that she agreed to Xie Xiyuan, he put away that exaggerated expression.

"Okay then, I'll go back first."

"Ah."

When Xie Xiyuan returned to her desk, she received a message from Zhou Sheng. She smiled at the phone screen, and then put the phone away—since Zhou Sheng has such a passive character, she simply kicked the phone. The face above the nose is a bit tougher, as long as it is harmless, even if Zhou Sheng is lying, he will probably just smile helplessly and acquiesce to her.

Thinking of this, Xie Xiyuan let it go for a while.

When Zhou Sheng came home in the evening, he saw the message Xie Xiyuan sent her. It contained some trivial business matters, mixed with Xie Xiyuan's own mood.Zhou Sheng looked at the words on the screen and thought for a while before replying briefly.

Xie Xiyuan is a part of the younger employees in their company, who have only come here in the past few years, and the two of them hardly had a conversation of more than three sentences recently.The only time was when Zhou Sheng saw that she had completed her duties quickly and meticulously, and asked her if she would take over other matters, but she refused with a smile, saying that this position was just right, and the other I can't do the job with my own ability.

Although Zhou Sheng didn't think so, she saw that Xie Xiyuan seemed unwilling, so she didn't continue to mention it.

After that, some of Xie Xiyuan's colleagues who should have been promoted were transferred to other departments, but Xie Xiyuan was always in that position.Doing simple jobs, leading a minimum salary.From Zhou Sheng's point of view, Xie Xiyuan is indeed different from other people. For their own career planning and future life, other people will also have a little bit of competition intention, or go up slowly step by step.

Maybe Xie Xiyuan is still a kid who stays at home and doesn't need to worry about his own future, let alone food and clothing. He is just a young man who has just stepped out to get in touch with the social system.

Even so, Zhou Sheng didn't think that Xie Xiyuan was a difficult subordinate. He had always done his job well, occasionally shrewdly in front of others, and from time to time she would show a sense of Childishness, perhaps because of this lingering childishness, Zhou Sheng still couldn't help but want to tell her like an elder.

After that, Xie Xiyuan became more and more sure of one thing - Zhou Sheng doted on her very much.

Of course it's not on official business, but Xie Xiyuan deliberately made some willful requests in private, as long as he pestered her for a while, Zhou Sheng would basically agree to her in the end.For those who can't agree, Xie Xiyuan will also make concessions when they meet.If Xie Xiyuan told her that he likes to eat medium-ripe beef, and had the opportunity to go out to eat together again, she would choose restaurants according to Xie Xiyuan's taste.

Although Xie Xiyuan could guess Zhou Sheng's reaction, he was always surprised whenever he succeeded.

"There seems to be an event in the mall over the shopping plaza in two weeks." The friend pulled Zhou Sheng, and Zhou Sheng came back to his senses and asked her what the event was about. "Christmas is coming, take your boyfriend with you, it's a place for couples to date."

Zhou Sheng shook her head with a smile, she seldom went shopping, besides, Lin Rui has been very busy recently.

"He doesn't accompany you?" My friend asked.

"It does not matter."

Seeing her answer like that, the friend hesitated for a while, then walked over and pulled her up: "Then you have to accompany me, let's have a good time today!"

Zhou Sheng was not really interested, but seeing his friend so excited, he could only smile helplessly and agreed to accompany her.
