Chapter 59: Sometimes I really want to call the police.
Ye Xueyan and several others returned from another city the next day.

At that time, Ji Xian was translating two very important documents for Wen Qi.

Yesterday's little incident didn't change her relationship with Wen Qi at all; there wasn't even any awkwardness, let alone any romantic atmosphere.

The two even seemed to have tacitly forgotten about Wen Qi being sick and clinging to her yesterday.

Both sides maintained a purely businesslike attitude.

Wen Qi is recovering well, and his schedule for the next few days remains unchanged.

Ji Xian didn't have too many things to do; he mainly did a lot of work translating documents for them.

The day before Christmas Eve, Ji Xian and Ye Xueyan were reviewing documents in the living room of Wen Qi's suite when they suddenly heard the assistant come over and tell Wen Qi, who was sitting at his desk, that someone had come to see them.

Ji Xian thought he was Russian and was about to get up to act as his interpreter.

When Qi asked who it was, the assistant replied, "It's Ms. Shen, who worked with Ms. Ji as our translator before."

Shen Jia?

That's quite an unexpected name.

Ji Xuan, who had just moved her buttocks, sat back down heavily. She subconsciously glanced at Wen Qi, who happened to be looking at her as well.

Their eyes met, and after two seconds, Ji Xuan looked away first and continued looking at the documents.

Wen Qi was also puzzled, as he and Shen Jiazhen didn't have much of a relationship.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "Let her in."

The assistant coughed awkwardly. "Ms. Shen would like you to go out for a moment. She said she has something to say to you, but it's not convenient for others to hear it."

Wen Qi immediately frowned, pursed his lips, put down his pen, and got up to walk out.

As I passed the coffee table where the two of them were working, I paused for a moment. "I'll be right back."

Although he didn't look over, Ye Xueyan was very aware of who he was talking to.

Ji Xian remained silent, seemingly unaware that the words were directed at her.

After Wen Qi left, Ye Xueyan breathed a sigh of relief, stretched her neck, and got up to pour two cups of fruit tea. "Why do you think Shen Jia wanted to see President Wen?"

Ji Xian took it and shook his head.

"Could she be thinking of... confessing her feelings to President Wen?"

She hasn't appeared since Shen Jia made her mistake. If her assistant Xiao Yang hadn't just mentioned it, she would have almost forgotten that Shen Jia even existed.

Ye Xueyan exclaimed, "Holy crap, it's been almost a month, and she still hasn't given up?"

Seeing that Ji Xian didn't speak, she nudged her arm, "Do you know that Shen Jia likes President Wen?"

"Ah."

"Did you see it?"

"What can a young woman in her twenties possibly hide?"

Ye Xueyan scoffed, "You're not even thirty yet, but you talk like you're much older."

Was she fired?

“No, she was transferred to another group.” Ji Xuan raised her eyebrows. “But when I went back to the company yesterday morning, I saw her go to our department director’s office. Later, she came out looking dejected and found me, saying that she wanted to be transferred back and that she would definitely do a good job in the future, and asked me to talk to President Xiao about it.”

She looked so pitiful; anyone who didn't know better would think she had done something to the person.

Ji Xuan smiled gently at the time, "You've asked the wrong person. It was Anatoli's order to transfer you. If you want President Xiao to transfer you back, go talk to him yourself. He just arrived at the company. If you go up now, he can still find time to see you."

Shen Jia looked very aggrieved, but Ji Xuan had no time to look at her weak and helpless appearance. He turned around and went back to his workstation, and after working for a while, he went out to Wen Qi's hotel.

Ye Xueyan was incredibly surprised when she heard this. "This girl is even more shameless than I imagined. She left you with such a huge mess the other day. You had to translate it twice by yourself, and your mouth was practically worn out from talking so much. And she still has the nerve to come and beg you."

Ji Xian smiled but didn't say anything.

With Wen Qi gone, Ye Xueyan became more talkative, making the most of even ten seconds of free time to slack off.

"Hey, are you going to take the day off tomorrow or the day after?" she sighed. "I'd like to take the day off too. I've been here for so long, and I've seen quite a few handsome Russian guys, but I haven't had time to flirt with them."

Ji Xuan looked up, finally deigning to look away from the documents, and asked, puzzled, "Why would I need to take leave?"

"Tomorrow and the day after are Christmas Eve and Christmas Day," Ye Xueyan said matter-of-factly. "Don't you celebrate holidays?"

"Why should I celebrate a holiday?" Ji Xuan asked, completely bewildered.

Ye Xueyan was also bewildered. "I remember that foreigners attach great importance to these two holidays and hold some kind of activities. It's one thing to be busy normally, but you don't even have time to spend with President Xiao during the holidays tomorrow and the day after. Doesn't he have any complaints?"

Ji Xuan's brain froze for a second. "Accompany him? Do I have some obligation to accompany him?"

"Aren't you two boyfriend and girlfriend? Don't you ever go on dates?"

Ji Xuan: ? ? ?
Ji Xuan's eyes widened in surprise. "Who told you that he and I are boyfriend and girlfriend?"

"Ah? Isn't it?"

"Of course not." Ji Xuan took a deep breath and said seriously, "My relationship with him is good, but it's just a school friendship. Besides, he's my boss and I'm his employee, it's that simple."

"Who told you that?" Ji Xuan frowned deeply. "It couldn't be Shen Jia, could it?"

Ye Xueyan blinked. "She didn't say it directly, but we bumped into each other in the restroom once and chatted briefly. She implied that your relationship with President Xiao is unusual."

“I didn’t believe it at first, but when we took you home on the first day we arrived, we saw a pretty good-looking man walking in with you, so I believed it and thought you two were together and living together.”

Ji Xuan: "..."

Sometimes I really want to call the police.

Did Shen Jia spread rumors before?
It seems she was too kind.

"Don't be angry. Luckily, I was the only one there. She has only herself to blame for what she's going through now." Seeing that she was angry, Ye Xueyan quickly tried to soothe her. "She probably wanted to use me to tell President Wen. That means she knows about your relationship with President Wen. This person is really..."

If only he had focused more on his work, he wouldn't have made such a big mistake.

Ji Xian's face was displeased. She could tolerate Shen Jia talking badly about her behind her back or playing tricks on her in front of her.

But what I can't stand is that she drags other people into it just to slander her.

She put down her pen, stood up with a stern face, and said, "I'm going out for a bit."

"Where are you going?" Ye Xueyan was startled by her sudden movement. Remembering that Shen Jia was outside, she immediately rolled up her sleeves. "Want to fight? Come on, I'll help you tear this little slut's mouth apart."

Ji Xuan was amused by her. "It's not worth fighting with her, and it only lowers our standards. I just feel that I didn't have a clear conversation with her yesterday, so I'll talk to her again today."

Ye Xueyan chuckled, then said seriously, "Yes, it's just a chat, definitely not to ruin her confession."

"..."

Ji Xian glared at her speechlessly, then walked around the coffee table and headed outside.

The entrance hall and the living room are separated by a corner openwork screen. As soon as Ji Xuan walked over, he saw a tall and handsome figure standing at the door. His cold and handsome face rarely showed a clear smile.

Like sunlight suddenly shining on a snow-capped mountain peak, warm and cozy.

Mr. Wen is happy, please give me some votes, my darlings, please!
