Chapter 228: Chapter 228: Relationship Experience

With this reminder, Su Banxia finally caught on, understanding it all. She smiled faintly and said, "I'm truly sorry, I didn't notice at the time. Does President Song still have cooperative dealings with the Su family?"

"The Su family does have collaborations with us, but they're just small business exchanges."

Song Wei said frankly, his gaze casually landing on Su Banxia.

These days, natural beauties like Su Banxia were rare.

"Then, President Song, would you be interested in partnering with our Dingsheng Group?"

Su Banxia steadied her nerves and slowly stated her purpose.

Seeing her slightly nervous demeanor, Song Wei's lips curled up slightly. "Dingsheng Group is a major enterprise. To forge a connection with them would be something our Song family would eagerly seek."

With his words, Su Banxia's tightly wound heart gradually relaxed. She slid the contract in front of him and said, "President Song, these are the terms and cooperation plan our company is offering. If you're interested, we can sign the contract as soon as possible."

"Oh?"

Song Wei raised an eyebrow, looking at the documents with keen interest.

After flipping through a few pages seriously, the depth in Song Wei's expression grew.

Su Banxia couldn't quite read his mood, but she kept a smile on her face, maintaining a poised demeanor.

"This is a big deal. Whether we can actually cooperate isn't up to me alone."

Song Wei closed the documents and said frankly.

Su Banxia understood his meaning. Deals involving tens of millions typically required board discussions and approvals.

"As long as President Song is willing to work with us, I believe the shareholders won't be an issue."

"Miss Su has that much confidence in me?"

Song Wei raised an eyebrow, clearly implying something more.

Su Banxia smiled faintly.

"For the sake of Miss Su's words, I'll do everything I can to get this contract signed. But, Miss Su, are you truly willing to sacrifice everything for this contract?"

Song Wei asked calmly.

"I'll do my best to ensure the contract goes smoothly."

Su Banxia replied with a sincere smile.

Song Wei took a deep breath, a flicker of emotion passing through his eyes, but he said nothing more.

They exchanged a few brief words about the contract and then parted ways.

On the way back, Su Banxia kept replaying Song Wei's words in her mind, finding them somewhat hard to grasp. She had a vague feeling that he was hinting at something.

Back in her office, Su Banxia felt exhausted. After a short rest, she got up to get a cup of hot water from the break room. But as she opened the door, she saw Fang Shiqing, beaming with joy.

Su Banxia paused mid-step. "Did it work?"

"Banxia!"

Fang Shiqing stepped forward, grabbing her wrist tightly. She glanced around nervously to make sure no one was around, then leaned in and whispered, "Yan Xin just talked to me."

"Oh?"

Su Banxia clicked her tongue. "Share some of your romantic sweetness with me."

Fang Shiqing's face flushed with shyness. She cleared her throat and said slowly, "I assigned a few people to help him, and Yan Xin specially brought me some fruit to thank me."

"Nice, progress."

Su Banxia said seriously, "At least he knows how to reciprocate now."

"Banxia, do you think I should launch another round of pursuit?"

Fang Shiqing had clearly turned Su Banxia into her relationship guru, clinging to her like a lifeline, eagerly awaiting her advice.

Su Banxia thought about it seriously, then shook her head. "Your relationship has just eased up. Now isn't the time for a new offensive. Keep this delicate balance and occasionally throw in some perks."

"I get it. That's the classic 'strategy wins hearts.' Banxia, you're my lucky charm!"

Fang Shiqing was thrilled. She enthusiastically threw her arms around Su Banxia's neck and planted a passionate kiss on her cheek.

Su Banxia quickly wiped it off with her hand, her face showing clear disgust.

Fang Shiqing didn't care. Her mind was full of Yan Xin. Winning him over was her top priority!

"Just a friendly reminder," Su Banxia said calmly. "Given the situation, you'd better keep a low profile. There are too many women in the company who like Yan Xin. If you're too flashy, you might attract jealousy."

"I know. I'll get back to work now. I'll ask for more dating advice tonight."

Fang Shiqing raised an eyebrow, her eyes sparkling with joy.

Su Banxia watched her go, shaking her head helplessly. She looked down at the cup in her hand, a faint, beautiful smile curling at the corners of her lips, then strode toward the break room.

With Su Banxia's guidance and encouragement, Fang Shiqing's pursuit of Yan Xin didn't wane; instead, it grew more proactive.

Zhang Shanshan observed all of this, and anger flared in her eyes.

For years, Yan Xin had been her unspoken boundary, never to be touched by anyone. Since Fang Shiqing insisted on crossing that line, she couldn't blame her for being ruthless.

With that thought, the coldness in Zhang Shanshan's eyes deepened. She picked up the documents on her desk and headed to Yan Xin's office.

"Assistant Zhang, the proposal you gave me yesterday was excellent. The company has adopted your suggestion, so I'll double your bonus this month."

Seeing her enter, Yan Xin instinctively put down his pen and spoke seriously.

Zhang Shanshan paused briefly, then smiled calmly. "That idea was just a casual thought. No need to make a big deal out of it. But I came today to ask you about something else."

"What?"

Yan Xin looked at her, puzzled.

"President Yan, do you like Shiqing?"

Zhang Shanshan asked seriously.

At this question, Yan Xin's heart sank, and his expression shifted subtly. "Why are you asking that all of a sudden?"

Zhang Shanshan cleared her throat and said slowly, "I can tell Shiqing is serious about you. And from what some colleagues are saying, they also think Manager Fang's attitude toward you is unusual."

"Do others in the company know too?"

Yan Xin was momentarily surprised.

He thought he had kept this well-hidden, that no one would notice.

"How should I put it? If a girl likes a man, that kind of feeling can't be hidden."

Zhang Shanshan said earnestly.
