“Could there be something wrong in your proposal? It was noticed by the president, so..”.
“At first, I had the same thought. I was so scared that I didn't even dare to take a deep breath. Who knew that when I was going out, the president said that I was doing a good job ... "
Xia Zhetao was speechless.
Yan Wen recalled the ten horrifying minutes he had just spent. He could not help but tremble on the spot. Then, he extended his hand and patted Xia Zhetao on the shoulder. “By the way, today's president is weird. Something doesn't seem right. Brother, take care of yourself. I'll go first.”
Xia Zhetao was speechless as he looked at the head of the fleeing department. He secretly cursed her in his mind for being unfaithful. After which, she looked at the documents on the table that were about to be brought to Mu Tingfeng, and she started to worry.
After struggling for a long time, Xia Zhetao finally took a deep breath. He took out a pile of documents and walked over to Mu Tingfeng's office as if he was going somewhere dangerous.
“President, I'm here to deliver the documents." Xia Zhetao tried her best to keep her tone steady and knocked on the door that determined her fate.
"Lake in." Mu Tingfeng's emotionless voice sounded from within. He could not guess whether he was happy or not.
Xia Zhetao swallowed his saliva. He opened the door and entered. He carefully observed Mu Tingfeng's expression along the way. The more he looked at Mu Tingfeng, the more he thought that the president didn't seem right today.
In the past, he could tell his emotions from his movements or stares, but today he could not look through the president and say whether he was happy or sad.
Uncertainty about the future made Xia Zhetao more cautious. He walked over to Mu Tingfeng and handed over the documents. Then, he obediently stood to the side and did not dare to make trouble at all.
After Mu Tingfeng received Xia Zhetao's documents, he didn't even rush to see them. Instead, he lifted his head and looked at Xia Zhetao. Then, he said softly, "Secretary Xia ..."
Xia Zhetao's heart skipped a beat as Mu Tingfeng suddenly called out to him. He felt that his vision had gone black, and a familiar ominous premonition appeared in his mind. He suddenly felt sad.
'Today ... Will my salary be cut again today?'
"P-President, what's wrong?"
Mu Tingfeng looked at Xia Zhetao meaningfully for a long time. His gaze made Xia Zhetao involuntarily swallow his saliva. Then, he said, “Don't you think I'm a little different today?”
'Different! You are so different than usual. Even though your face is still very cold, it is much scarier than usual.'
It's very scary. Xia Zhetao was so frightened by Mu Tingfeng that his legs trembled, but he did not dare to show anything unusual on his face. He smiled and said, "President, have you been in a bad mood recently?"
“Could the President still be depressed and unhappy because his previous confession was disliked by the former Madam President?”
"No, I was in a good mood recently." Mu Tingfeng's eyes blinked. There was still no expression on his face, but the coldness around him had dropped by some percentage. "Secretary Xia, can't you see that I'm smiling?"
Huh huh? Xia Zhetao. After he regained consciousness, he felt struck by lightning because he was unprepared.
'What did the president just say? She smiling? Who can tell me that the person in front of me, whose corner of the mouth is not curved at all, is smiling? President, you're just kidding.'
“President, you just said ..” Xia Zhetao asked in confusion while showing a stiff smile.
“I said that I smiled. I was smiling right now," Mu Tingfeng repeated what he said earlier with a serious face.
Xia Zhetao was speechless.
'But President, I really can't say that you're smiling. When you're not smiling, you just seem a little scary. But when you smile, you're really scary. President, please don't stop the treatment.'
The corner of Xia Zhetao's mouth twitched for a long time before he could resist the urge to complain. He said, "P-President, a smile is not like this." "Such a smile is scarier than you're angry."
Mu Tingfeng was surprised. His deep eyes darkened, and he returned to his usual serious expression. Then, he said foolishly, “B-How's that smile?”
When Xia Zhetao heard Mu Tingfeng's words, he was extremely sad and almost cried. He was sad because his president didn't even know what a smile at this age was like. How bitter was his life? He was touched because he thought his president had been paralyzed for years but he still had thoughts of rehabilitation. It seems a bit unreasonable if he doesn't help.
Thinking of this, Xia Zhetao quickly said with a serious face, “Well, try lifting the corner of your mouth first. When you pursed your lips, no one else would know that you were smiling at all. See me. You should slightly lift the corner of your lips like I.”
As Xia Zhetao spoke, his hand pointed to the corner of his mouth and made a small demonstration.
Mu Tingfeng looked at Xia Zhetao for a long time. Suddenly, the corner of his mouth twitched, and he clearly did what Xia Zhetao said. He studied humbly.
Unfortunately, the effects of this study do not seem to be very good.
Mu Tingfeng worked hard for a long time, but he still failed to lift the corner of his mouth like Xia Zhetao. He frowned and completely lost his patience. He instantly stretched out his index finger and poked his cheeks on both sides of his mouth.
His ruthless appearance made people unable to see him directly. Xia Zhetao was about to stop him, but he saw Mu Tingfeng put strength on his fingers and directly pushed the corner of his mouth upwards. He revealed a row of white teeth.
"Like this?"
Xia Zhetao was speechless. "I-It's so scary."
Xia Zhetao almost cried because she was scared. The angle of the raised mouth was involuntarily twisted into a slightly strange arch after being pushed upwards. The snow-white teeth matched Mu Tingfeng's cold eyes.
At that moment, Xia Zhetao finally understood why the department head earlier was so frightened. This is too scary. This is no different than seeing a real-life horror movie in broad daylight.
Although frightening, Xia Zhetao did not plan to attack the enthusiasm of Mu Tingfeng's desire to regain her facial expression, so she had to say against her instincts, “Ya. Yeah. That's it. For you, it may be a bit difficult at first, but as long as you practice a lot, you will be able to do it as easily as I am in the future.”
Mu Tingfeng's eyes brightened when she heard what Xia Zhetao said. He nodded and continued to work hard to push the corner of his mouth.
Xia Zhetao watched as Mu Tingfeng pushed the corner of his mouth in front of him, showing all sorts of frightening expressions. The corner of his eyes twitched slightly and he thought to himself. 'Do I need to face such a terrifying president in the future?'
