After the divorce, I became a mountain god

Chapter 562 The So-Called Trap

Tang Xiaotong wore a white dress today, the hem of which swayed gently with her steps, revealing her elegant temperament.

Her upper body is matched with a light blue sweater, which fits her body gently and makes her look more elegant.

She wore a pair of nude high heels on her feet, which was simple yet fashionable. The pearl earrings hanging on her ears sparkled with delicate light, making her look fresh and refined, and eye-catching.

Well, this means she has transformed from a cautious girl just entering the workplace to a confident veteran.

Young people who have just entered the workplace always want to dress more formally and maturely.

After working for half a year or a year, I realized that the most important thing is to do what you want. Anyway, you are not a leader and no one cares about such small things as your dress and appearance.

As long as you don’t wear too weird clothes, no one in the company will pay attention to you!
Of course, what I am referring to here are most companies that do not require formal attire. After all, when people are recruiting, the brochures all say that they need to wear suits and ties.

So the new employees subconsciously think that they have found a similar job, but the human resources department can’t do anything about it. I’m not trying to lie to you. How can I recruit people if I print the costumes of the construction site on the brochure?
What's more, there are people in the company who dress in suits all day long. As for whether it will be you, it depends on how hard you work.

Tang Xiaotong's outfit surprised Xu Bo'an. Seeing Tang Xiaotong coming over, Xu Bo'an was quite surprised and said, "Didn't you take a leave for a while? Why are you back now?"

Tang Xiaotong nodded. Because her mother had just had surgery some time ago, Tang Xiaotong and her sister Tang Xiaorou had been taking turns to take care of her in the hospital. When Xu Boan lent her money, he had already allowed her to take a leave of absence.

However, Tang Xiaotong felt that she had rested for many days because of her sister's matter, and she felt bad. Xu Boan not only lent her money for her mother's surgery, but also allowed her to rest for a while to deal with family matters. This made Tang Xiaotong grateful!

To put it bluntly, he is just her leader, but after learning that she was in trouble, he gave her money and effort. She knew clearly that she would not get any benefit from the leader's doing this. The leader did this purely because he was considerate of his subordinates. Such a good leader is probably hard to find even with a lantern.

So Tang Xiaotong was very touched. Even if her leader allowed her to take such a long leave, she couldn't go too far.

The good intentions of the leader should not be used as a bargaining chip to make further demands. After all, work is also very important and it is not good to delay it any longer. Therefore, Tang Xiaotong has not rested during this period. Every day, she takes time to go to the company early in the day to do some work within her ability, and then goes to the hospital to take care of her mother.
If she really doesn't have time, she will try to come to the office early and clean Xu Bo'an's office first.

Today is the day her mother is discharged from the hospital. Tang Xiaotong has been in the hospital since early morning to handle the discharge procedures, so she came to the office a little later than the previous few days. Thinking that Mr. Xu might not come at this time, she wanted to go to his office first to clean up and put away some documents. She didn't expect Mr. Xu to come so early today, and she was a little slow to react.

Because she knocked on the door just out of subconscious politeness and was worried that there might be someone inside, Tang Xiaotong would only go in if no one responded after knocking on the door.

I didn't expect to hear Xu Bo'an's voice from inside today. I had already knocked on the door, so I had to go in.

Hearing Xu Bo'an's caring words, Tang Xiaotong, who had walked in, looked at Xu Bo'an and stammered, "Well... I'm sorry, Mr. Xu, my mother was discharged from the hospital today. I was busy with the discharge procedures this morning and was a little late. I haven't had time to clean the office today. Do you think... do you need me to clean it right now? Or if you're busy, I can do it later."

Xu Bo'an was a grown man. As long as the office environment was not too dirty and messy, he would not care about these details at all. Moreover, he could not tell that it was just one day of unkemptness. He said, "These things are not a big deal. Just clean it when you are free."

After a pause, Xu Bo'an thought about Liu Quan's successor, and then changed the subject and said, "Come, sit down first. I just have something to tell you."

Tang Xiaotong nodded obediently and sat down carefully opposite Xu Boan's desk.

After Tang Xiaotong sat on the chair, Xu Bo'an said, "Xiaotong, I plan to leave Dongjiang No. 2 Construction Company, and the resignation procedures are already being processed. Office Director Liu Quan is also planning to resign. I thought about it and realized that you have been working diligently and conscientiously with me all this time. I would like to ask if you are interested in taking over the position of office director? While I am still in office these few days, I will do this for you."

Tang Xiaotong was shocked when she heard Xu Boan's words and said, "Mr. Xu, this is too sudden... What's wrong with you? You are doing well, why do you want to resign?"

Haha, it’s the same question again. Recently, whenever I talk about my resignation, someone would ask me this question. That’s right, it’s difficult for anyone to understand if you are in such a high position and suddenly say you want to resign. It would be strange if others didn’t ask me.
Xu Bo'an immediately smiled and said, "I've been hearing this question every day these past few days, and my ears are almost callused from hearing it."

Tang Xiaotong quickly explained, "Mr. Xu, please don't misunderstand me. I was just too shocked to hear the news, so I asked in a hurry. Please forgive me if there is anything wrong."

Xu Boan said disapprovingly: "Haha, you are exaggerating. We are all family members. I won't hide it from you. Although I haven't decided what to do specifically, I plan to work on my own, so I resigned.
As for Liu Quan, he wanted to follow me, so he asked to resign. It just so happens that he has this vacant position, which I think is quite suitable for you, so I wanted to talk to you about this. If you agree, after Liu Quan resigns, I will let you fill this vacant position while I am still here."

Although the group company is about to merge and restructure, assuming a leadership position earlier will improve benefits. This is a position and opportunity that many people dream of!

However, for a new employee of Tang Xiaotong's age, it is not the time to think about climbing up. She simply thought that she came to the company right after graduation, and she was grateful that she had the good fortune to meet such a caring leader. She also thought that it would be a very happy thing to keep working with Xu Boan. She didn't expect the change to come so suddenly, which made it a little difficult for her to accept.

When Tang Xiaotong heard Xu Bo'an's words, she said without hesitation: "Mr. Xu, since you are planning to work alone, I want to follow you."

Tang Xiaotong is a young person in her early twenties, full of vigor and enthusiasm. She was somewhat moved when she heard that Mr. Xu wanted to start a business.

Moreover, when her mother needed money for surgery, she and her sister borrowed money everywhere but failed to raise it. In the end, it was Mr. Xu who lent her money when she was in trouble. It is no exaggeration to say that it was Mr. Xu who saved her mother's life. Mr. Xu is the great benefactor of her family. So when she heard that Xu Boan wanted to work alone, she said without hesitation that she wanted to follow Xu Boan.

Xu Boan never expected that Tang Xiaotong would have such an idea. After all, Xu Boan had heard about the two sisters' obsession with having a stable job. Now that Tang Xiaotong finally had this opportunity, she actually wanted to resign!
Xu Bo'an persuaded him calmly, "You must have thought it through. If you resign, it will be difficult to come back. So, think about it carefully first, then discuss it with your family, and give me an answer within three days."

Tang Xiaotong said with certainty: "Mr. Xu, I can make the decision on my own. I don't need to discuss it with my family. Now that I have made the decision, I will not regret it. I will write my resignation report immediately."

Just as Tang Xiaotong was about to get up from the chair, she felt a darkness in front of her eyes, and then she felt dizzy. Finally, she lost consciousness and fainted on the chair. When she was about to fall to the ground, Xu Boan saw this and quickly helped her up from the chair, then picked Tang Xiaotong up by the waist and carried her back to Xu Boan's lounge.

Since Tang Xiaotong entered Xu Boan's office just now, intending to ask if he needed to clean, and left after a while, she did not close the door, but just left it ajar. However, she did not expect that this scene was photographed by someone who happened to pass by.

After Xu Boan carried Tang Xiaotong back to the lounge, he simply took her pulse and found that Tang Xiaotong was just too tired from working too non-stop recently and did not get enough rest, which led to the temporary fainting. There was nothing wrong with her body and she just needed a little rest.

About fifteen minutes later, Tang Xiaotong slowly opened her eyes. After waking up, she found herself lying on Mr. Xu's bed. She panicked instantly and got up from the bed and prepared to leave. Xu Bo'an came in and saw her and said, "You fainted just now. Don't get up too quickly when you just woke up. Lie down and relax for a while. I'll get you a glass of water."

Tang Xiaotong lay on the bed again and said embarrassedly: "Mr. Xu, I'm really sorry to bother you."

Xu Boan said calmly: "No need to thank me, it's not a big deal. You have been too tired recently, you should pay more attention to rest!"

Meanwhile, Xu Boan poured a glass of water and walked to Tang Xiaotong. Tang Xiaotong slowly stood up, took the glass and felt a warmth in her heart. Ever since she had a relationship with Wei Wei in college and was hurt all over, Tang Xiaotong had never felt the care from the opposite sex again. This time, Xu Boan's care brought her a different kind of warmth, and she couldn't help but reveal a faint smile.

After saying "thank you" sweetly to Xu Bo'an, he prepared to drink some water.

At this moment, several people rushed in angrily, led by Liu Jun, the daughter of Liu Huawen, the general manager of a company. Liu Jun walked up quickly and without saying a word, knocked the water cup out of Tang Xiaotong's hand. The water cup instantly slipped out of Tang Xiaotong's hand, splashing water everywhere. The cup fell to the ground, making a crisp and loud breaking sound, and glass fragments scattered on the ground.

Tang Xiaotong was stunned by this sudden move and stood there in a daze for a while.

Seeing this, Xu Bo'an shouted, "You crazy woman, how dare you barge into my office? Who gave you the courage?"

Xu Boan had met Liu Jun several times, so of course he knew her.

In fact, Xu Boan had noticed Liu Jun's footsteps and abnormal condition a long time ago, but he was too lazy to pay attention to it. He just wanted to see what this crazy woman was going to do, so that he would have a reason to take revenge on her so that she would not bother him again.

Liu Jun smiled contemptuously and said: "Haha, you are having an office romance here in broad daylight. If you dare to do it, are you afraid of being seen?"

Tang Xiaotong reacted at this time and said to Liu Jun: "Don't spit blood at me! Did you see us having an office romance?"

Liu Jun said, "Humph, it seems that unless I show you the evidence, you will never admit it, even if you are beaten to death?"

He then shouted, "Wei Wei, show them the video!"

As he was talking, Wei Wei was seen standing beside Liu Jun from behind, fawning on him, and turned over the screen of his mobile phone to play the video.

In the video, there was a scene where Xu Boan was holding Tang Xiaotong in order to save her.

This Wei Wei was Tang Xiaotong’s boyfriend during college, now her ex-boyfriend, and also the current boyfriend of their mutual classmate Liu Jun.

Xu Boan had met him twice before. The first time was at the welcome party when Su Tai first arrived. Liu Jun criticized and ridiculed Tang Xiaotong, and Xu Boan gave her face, completely defeating the jealous guy Liu Jun.

The second time was in Xu Boan’s office. This guy found ways to transfer from Dongjiang No. 1 Construction to Dongjiang No. 2 Construction. At that time, he said that it was just to rekindle his old relationship with Tang Xiaotong. Xu Boan even heard this guy confessing his love to Tang Xiaotong. Fortunately, Tang Xiaotong refused.

Tang Xiaotong was stunned and blushed when she saw the photo. Liu Jun said complacently, "See? We are particular about evidence. There is nothing wrong with speaking with evidence. Now, Xu Bo'an, what else do you have to say?"

Tang Xiaotong was nervous for a while. Before she could figure out how to respond, she heard Xu Bo'an say, "Evidence? You are sick, I think you are crazy. We are both single, I am not married and she is not married, what's the problem with us being together? In the few shots you took, did we break the law or violate the rules, corrupt the morals or go against morality. In addition, you took pictures of me without my consent, do you know what kind of behavior this is? Otherwise, I will help you check the legal provisions and you can read them against them!"

Xu Boan's words immediately confused Liu Jun and Wei Wei. For a moment, they didn't know how to respond.

They were clearly hunters setting a trap, but at this moment, they felt like they were being pecked by their prey. (End of this chapter)
