My Evil Cinderella: Taming a Villainous Wife Chapter 80 - Self-proclaimed best friend

On that same day, Shi Enxi was promoted and became the new Director of the talent recruitment department. 

Fan Xiao Yao was surprised to hear of the news upon reaching the company.

Hen Ruying was fired and Shi Enxi took his position. 

Everyone in the company didn't have any complaints about Shi Enxi becoming the new Director. In fact, they were glad that Hen Ruying was gone for good! He treated everyone in the company harshly, especially towards lower-level employees.

Hen Ruying was hugging Zi Xuan's golden thigh so nobody dared to voice their frustrations. He finally got his retribution. He had this coming when he was finally tossed aside by Zi Xuan.

Fan Xiao Yao entered Shi Enxi's office and saw her talking with someone on her phone.

Shi Enxi took a glance at Fan Xiao Yao, he just gave her a nod as if greeting her before she continued to talk with her brother.

Fan Xiao Yao smiled and went to sit on the sofa, quietly waiting for her.

"You didn't have to promote me, brother."

"How can I not? After all the hard works you did for the company, it is only right to promote you."

Shi Enxi sighed in defeat, she smiled a bit. "Thank you, Gege."

"You're always welcome, dear sister. How about I treat you for dinner tonight?"

"Just the two of us?"

"It's been so long since we've last been together. Where do you want to eat? I'll make reservations right now."

"I had enough of fancy restaurants."

"Then street food?"

Shi Enxi grinned at his suggestion, "Sure! Let's eat there~"

Fan Xiao Yao never saw Shi Enxi that happy. She must be really close to her brother. Just by hearing their conversation, it looked like she has to spend her dinner alone again. How nice must it be to have a caring older brother?

She took out her phone and checked her WeChat. Huang Li hasn't replied to her message from this morning and she was quite saddened by it.

Was he so busy? 

Since she would be spending her time alone tonight, maybe she could invite him for dinner? But then... how should he invite him? He was not reading her messages!

Should she visit him in the hospital? 

She kept her phone and saw that Shi Enxi finally lowered her phone. She stood up and went to her, she smiled, "Congratulations on being promoted, Xiao Xi!"

Shi Enxi was suddenly reminded of Zi Xuan's words earlier that made her brow twitched. The smile she had earlier was gone and was replaced by a serious look. She sat on her seat, "Thank you."

Hm? What's with the sudden change of mood? She only congratulated her and yet her response was so different!

Fan Xiao Yao pouted, "Why are you frowning?"

"I'm not."

"Yes, you are."

"I'm not." Shi Enxi replied firmly. She quickly changed the topic by saying, "Anyway, from today on, I will also be handling Zi Xuan."

"What? Really? You're going to be senior Zi's Manager too?" She pursed her lips, "Didn't  you say that I am the only artist that you'll take under you?"

"He chose me to be his Manager."

"Then you could have said no to it! I don't like sharing my Manager!"

"Those words really hurt, junior Fan."

Fan Xiao Yao turned to Zi Xuan who was standing by the entrance.

He walked towards her and patted her head, with a mischievous smile, he asked, "Why don't you want to share Manager Li?"

Fan Xiao Yao slapped his hand away, still pouting. "Xiao Xi is only mine!"

Zi Xuan turned to Shi Enxi with a meaningful smile. 

Shi Enxi didn't like the smile he was giving her. She was fighting the urge to slap it off his face. 

"If Xiao Xi takes you in, she will be more busy." Fan Xiao Yao continued.

"Too bad, she already signed the contract." He rested his arm on her shoulder and grinned. "So from now on, you have to share her with me."

Fan Xiao Yao puffed her cheeks out, glaring at the smug look on his face. She was trying her best to hold back since Zi Xuan was still her senior.

"Since we are here, why don't we go out and celebrate? It will be a welcome party for me and a celebration for  our lovely Manager's promotion!" Zi Xuan suggested.

"I can't go with you two, I have to meet my brother tonight."

"That's alright, we can move it tomorrow, right baby Yaoyao?"

Baby Yaoyao?

 Fan Xiao Yao frowned at the nickname. "Don't call me that. We're not friends."

"Yes, we're not. After all, we're a family. From now on, you can address me as 'big brother' and I will call you my baby Yaoyao." He ruffled her hair. "If you need help with your lines and scripts, let me know. Your amazing Gege will help you!"

Fan Xiao Yao: "..."

Was Zi Xuan always this clingy? It was so annoying!

Shi Enxi cleared her throat to get back their attention. "It is good to see that both of you are getting along with each other."

"No, we're not." Fan Xiao Yao interrupted.

Zi Xuan chuckled, "I think we are."

"No, we aren't-"

Shi Enxi massaged the bridge of her nose. If she knew that it was going to be noisy between them, she would have left the office already. "Xiao Yao, behave."

Fan Xiao Yao pursed her lips tightly. She distanced herself from Zi Xuan.

"Anyway, Zi Xuan is right. If you have trouble in the future concerning your acting skills or lines, you can ask him for advice. He has more experience than you so get along with him, Xiao Yao."

"I'll try..."

"Also, Zi Xuan, don't get too touchy with Xiao Yao. Flirting with her is forbidden too. I don't want her to fall for someone like you."

Fan Xiao Yao huffed, "Who would fall for him? I already have someone else I like."

Zi Xuan smiled, "Alright. You don't have to worry about that Xiao Xi. You know that I don't anyone here. It will be a sin for me if I date my sister, right?"

"Just make sure that you stay true to your words. If ever the two of you start falling for each other, please let me know."

"No way! That will never happen! I only like Huang Li!"

"Huang Li?" Zi Xuan turned to her. "Isn't he... your cousin?"

"No, he's not! He's Xiao Xi's best friend! Although, I am also Xiao Xi's best friend but he's one level higher than me."

"Self-proclaimed best friend." Shi Enxi corrected.

Fan Xiao Yao gasped, turning to Shi Enxi, "You don't see me as your best friend?"

Shi Enxi ignored her. She stood up and took her coat, "Since I have nothing else to discuss, I will take my leave now."

"Ah wait! Xiao Xi!"

But then, Shi Enxi left the office before Fan Xiao Yao could even complain to her.

"So baby Yaoyao, why don't you tell me more about this fake cousin of yours? This big brother of yours is interested~"

"I have nothing else to say! I will also take my leave now!"
