My Ares Son-in-Law

Jiang Xuanxuan's mind wandered...

I think it's even less likely that Xiao Chen is the behind-the-scenes boss of Dansheng Group!

I must have been too stressed tonight and am overthinking things!

She turned off the video, took a deep breath, and forced herself to stop overthinking, but the strange feeling in her heart just wouldn't go away.

……

The next morning, just as dawn was breaking, Jiang Xuanxuan got up, got ready, and carefully dressed herself...

Her well-fitting business attire accentuated her elegant and capable demeanor, showcasing both professionalism and a touch of youthful charm.

She left home early, heading to Dansheng Group, feeling both excited and a little nervous.

As a leading enterprise in the western region, Dansheng Group is a large-scale enterprise with an impressive office building. People come and go at the entrance, all of whom are well-dressed professionals, exuding an elite aura.

As soon as Jiang Xuanxuan reached the building entrance, she saw General Manager Shen Yingying already waiting for her with a gentle smile on her face.

Shen Yingying personally greeted her with a warm and courteous attitude, leading her into the office building and helping her quickly complete all the onboarding procedures. She accompanied her throughout the process without any airs.

After the formalities were completed, Shen Yingying led her to the administrative department, introducing her to her colleagues one by one, explaining her job duties, responsibilities, and precautions in detail, and finally patted her on the shoulder, giving her some advice:

"Jiang Xuanxuan, you are very capable. It is our honor to have you join our Dansheng Group."

If you have any questions about work or encounter any difficulties, feel free to ask me anytime. You can also come directly to my office; don't hesitate to ask.

Jiang Xuanxuan quickly smiled gratefully and nodded: "Thank you, President Shen. I look forward to your guidance in the future."

She paused, suppressing her nervousness, and asked tentatively, as if it were casual:

"President Shen, I have a small question. I wonder if I will have the opportunity to meet the chairman in the future?"

After all, I'll be in charge of administrative affairs in the future, and there will inevitably be times when I need to report to the chairman. If I don't even know what the boss looks like, it wouldn't be good if I accidentally offended him one day.

Shen Yingying's smile remained unchanged, but she immediately became alert, a subtle scrutiny flashing in her eyes.

Two days ago, Xiao Chen specifically told her to pay close attention to Jiang Xuanxuan, saying that her coming to Dansheng Group was probably not just for work.

Jiang Xuanxuan has just started working and hasn't even gotten familiar with her job yet, but she can't wait to find out where the chairman is. It seems that Xiao Chen's guess was right.

This beautiful young woman traveled all the way from the capital to the western region and to Dansheng Group. She must have had some other purpose behind it. We'll have to wait and see what she's up to.

Shen Yingying maintained a gentle and polite smile, her tone calm yet neither humble nor arrogant, as she slowly spoke to Jiang Xuanxuan:
"The chairman rarely comes to the company. He spends most of his time handling core group affairs and keeps a low profile. But don't worry, if he comes to the company one day, I will let him know as soon as possible. As for whether he is willing to see you, that depends on his arrangements. I will inform you in time."

These words were perfectly worded, neither a direct refusal nor a clear promise, thus maintaining professional decorum while subtly upholding the bottom line and preventing Jiang Xuanxuan from having any further opportunities to test the waters.

Jiang Xuanxuan felt a wave of disappointment wash over her. She had thought that with her background and abilities, she would be able to get a chance to meet the chairman, but Shen Yingying had tactfully turned her away with those words.

But she also knew that as a new employee, being too eager would only arouse suspicion. So she suppressed her disappointment, forced a polite smile, and nodded to Shen Yingying, saying, "Okay, then I'll trouble you, Ms. Shen. Thank you for your hard work!"

Shen Yingying nodded slightly, said nothing more, turned and left the administrative department, going straight back to her office.

As soon as she entered the room, she immediately took out her phone and dialed Xiao Chen's number. She then recounted in detail how Jiang Xuanxuan had inquired about the chairman and wanted to meet him as soon as she joined the company, her tone tinged with caution.

“Mr. Xiao, Jiang Xuanxuan just finished her onboarding procedures and then specifically asked about you. She even said she wanted to find an opportunity to meet you. It seems that her purpose is indeed not simple.”

Upon hearing Shen Yingying's report, Xiao Chen, on the other end of the phone, paused slightly, a cold glint flashing in his eyes, his vigilance growing stronger.

Sure enough, this woman didn't just come to work at Dansheng Group; she came for him from the very beginning.

What exactly is she trying to do?
Was she sent by someone to harm her, to find out her identity and background, and to take revenge? Or did she know that her identity was extraordinary and wanted to seduce her to climb the social ladder by using her influence?
Regardless of the possibility, Xiao Chen felt extremely uncomfortable, even somewhat repulsed. He had never liked being deliberately schemed against, and he disliked this kind of approach with ulterior motives even more.

After a moment's hesitation, Xiao Chen had already made up his mind:
Next, try to minimize contact with Jiang Xuanxuan to avoid unnecessary interactions, and never let her know your true identity. You must keep a close eye on her every move and figure out her real purpose.

……

On the evening of Jiang Xuanxuan's first day at the company, Zhou Keying specially booked a table at a high-end hotel, wanting to treat her well, welcome her back, and celebrate her successful joining Dansheng Group.

Zhou Keying, being a warm-hearted person, directly invited Xiao Chen and Yun Yuyan to the banquet. However, Yun Yuyan was too busy with the affairs of Xunjiang Group to attend and had to politely decline.

Upon learning that Yun Yuyan couldn't come, Xiao Chen felt a sudden headache coming on.

He had just made up his mind to keep his distance from Jiang Xuanxuan and minimize contact, but he didn't expect to have to have dinner with her at the same table again that night. It was simply unavoidable.

Despite the headache, Xiao Chen had no intention of making excuses.

On the one hand, he didn't want to spoil Zhou Keying's fun; on the other hand, he also wanted to take this opportunity to observe Jiang Xuanxuan up close, see what tricks she was up to, and figure out her true purpose.

After making up his mind, Xiao Chen quickly tidied up and accompanied Zhou Keying to the restaurant.

But when the two arrived at the hotel entrance, Xiao Chen realized that Zhou Keying had booked the Chaotianque Banquet Hall on the rooftop of the Chaotianque Hotel!
A hint of surprise flashed in Xiao Chen's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure... He had actually booked this place in advance, planning to hold a celebration party for Zhou Keying three days later to celebrate the great success of her previous project.

The Chaotianque Pavilion atop the Chaotianque Hotel is never open to the public for private bookings. This was an unprecedented exception for the hotel, made for him. (End of Chapter)
