Today The Manager is Also Very Kind Ch. 48

Xia Zeqi was fascinated by what he saw and couldn't help but poke his cheek with his finger.

Xin Nanyi was so frightened by his sudden movement that he almost choked. He quickly swallowed what was in his mouth, the tips of his ears were red, and his eyes looked at him innocently.

Xia Zeqi looked at his expression and smiled again.

Xin Nanyi turned his head in embarrassment. It was all his fault that he felt shy, but the guy next to him was not affected by it.

"Nanyi, did you enjoy today's banquet?" Xia Zeqi looked at him with twinkling eyes. According to Xia Zeqi's previous investigation of Xin Nanyi, he loved to play and make trouble but rarely attended such places and did not like to socialize with outsiders. His behavior today was obviously different from the survey results.

Because Xia Zeqi sent people to investigate Xin Nanyi's past, he thought he knew most of Xin Nanyi's things, but he didn't know that this Xin Nanyi was no longer the same Xin Nanyi.

Xin Nanyi's face became even hotter when he saw his direct gaze. His eyes were a little dodgey, looking up and down, left and right, but not at Xia Zeqi.

He, who was always eloquent, replied sluggishly, "It's... not bad. But today is your home court, and you brought me to meet so many people. It seems like I'm taking the spotlight."

"Don't be too polite to me. Banquets are just a medium for people to communicate. I have known those people for a long time, so you should get to know them too."

The heat on Xin Nanyi's face dissipated a little. He raised his head slightly and looked at Xia Zeqi, who was about ten centimeters taller than him. A smile appeared at the corner of his lips and he said, "Thank you so much. I know you are my friend."

The expression on Xia Zeqi's face froze, then quickly returned to normal, he nodded and said, "That's right."

Xia Zeqi felt a little resentful. How come they had been together for so long, and Xin Nanyi's thinking was still not on the same channel as his?

What Xia Zeqi said was, you were a very important person to me. I want to help pave the way for you and introduce you to my friends.

But Xin Nanyi’s understanding was, you were my friend, they were your friends, and friends of friends could naturally be my friends.

Just when Xia Zeqi was a little distressed, a young woman wearing a black lace tube top evening dress came over and sat elegantly on the high chair next to Xia Zeqi. Her skirt featured a mid-high slit that ended three centimeters below her hip line.

"Zeqi, Mr. Xin, do you mind if I sit down?" Xu Huanmo asked in a sweet voice with a sweet smile. She was asking about two people, but her eyes, who was wearing charming big eye makeup, only looked at Xia Zeqi.

"Aren't you already sitting down? Is it interesting to pretend to ask?" Xia Zeqi finally waited until Qin Wenshu's light bulb was taken away. He had just said a few more words to Nanyi, and now another unscrupulous person came. He was irritable and gloomy, and his tone of voice was a bit colder, like an air conditioner with its own temperature-regulating effect.

Xin Nanyi secretly smiled when he heard Xu Huanmo call Xia Zeqi, as if he had discovered some great gossip. Although his heart was swollen and he had an indescribable feeling, he was still very interested in the relationship between the two of them.

Xu Huanmo didn't care about Xia Zeqi's bad tone and cold attitude, but was very happy because he replied to her words.

She raised her red lips slightly, raised her feet, and a pair of jade legs as white as ice and snow were exposed from the high skirt. She looked straight at Xia Zeqi next to her.

A pair of jade feet wrapped in high-heeled shoes studded with crystals, tilted up and down, very tempting. "Zeqi, I heard from my friend that you are planning to take on Director Zhou's new drama, is that right?"

Xia Zeqi raised his eyebrows, glanced at her with eyes without any warmth, suppressed the impatience in his heart, and said, "What?"

Xu Huanmo lowered his head and smiled slightly, his eyes showing the demureness of a jade lady and the charm of a prostitute, "I just happened to receive an invitation from Director Zhou. What a coincidence, isn't it?"

Xin Nanyi, who was watching the show and eating melon, had a "meow meow meow" expression on his face and thought to himself, why did this sentence sound so familiar?

If Xia Zeqi's tone just now belonged to the fresh-keeping section of the refrigerator, then his tone now belongs to the freezer section, "Oh. Then I'll put the show down."

Xu Huanmo never thought that Xia Zeqi would wipe out her face so bluntly, especially when there were outsiders around.

They had worked together several times, and every time she would use Xia Zeqi to hype up things, but Xia Zeqi had always had a non-responsive attitude towards scandals. Over time, Xu Huanmo pretended to be real and developed real feelings for Xia Zeqi. Whenever they met, she would try her best to seduce him.

Xia Zeqi never responded or refused, which ignited a spark of hope in Xu Huanmo's heart.

But what she didn't know was that Xia Zeqi didn't refuse, but didn't care at all. He didn't even let her fall into his eyes outside the play. What's there to say no to a passerby who could only occasionally chatter in his ear?

But this time it was different. Xia Zeqi cared about it, even to the point of being a little angry.

What was she doing in such a pretentious manner?

Do you want to seduce Nanyi, or do you want to drive a wedge between them?

TN:
You probably notice a character surnamed Qin, either Qin Wenshu or Qin Wenlou. Actually they are the same person, but the original author keep miss typed his name on almost every chapter, so even I can't determine which his real name is.
