Xu Ruoxing suppressed the impulse in her heart. The words that were about to come out of her tongue got stuck in her throat. She calmed herself down and hung up the phone before Su Yi could say anything more to tempt her.
The room was quiet, without any sound. Xu Ruoxing put her phone on the table. When she heard a knock on the door, she looked up and said, "Come in."
Li Chen pushed the door open and came in.
She looked at Xu Ruoxing: "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Xu Ruoxing shook her head: "No." Then she stood up, poured a glass of water, and handed it to Li Chen. Li Chen took a sip and said, "I just contacted your wife."
Xu Ruoxing glanced sideways. No wonder Su Yi called her. Her face darkened. "Didn't I tell you not to disturb her?"
"Then I can't just watch you two quarreling!" Li Chen said, "It would be fine if I didn't know this, but now that I know, you have to explain things to her, and it's difficult for you too."
Xu Ruoxing said nothing.
Li Chen asked cautiously: "Did they really have a fight?"
Xu Ruoxing shook her head: "No."
In fact, she hoped that Su Yi would have a quarrel with her. Although quarreling was useless, at least she could vent out her bad emotions. She felt that Su Yi had been holding it in for too long.
Whether in the past or now.
She has been holding it in for too long.
If you hold it in for too long you'll get sick.
Xu Ruoxing took a sip of warm water to moisten her throat, and heard Li Chen say, "Go back and talk to her properly. I think Su Yi is doing well the way she is now. She listens to me. You didn't go to her mother on purpose."
Is this Su Yi now? He is devoted to her and is even willing to compromise with his mother for her. Xu Ruoxing feels more and more like a thief, stealing things that do not belong to him. He begins to feel uneasy and frightened.
She lowered her eyes and said in a low voice: "I know."
Li Chen said: "Can one person handle it?"
Xu Ruoxing tilted her head, and Li Chen said, "I'm leaving the day after tomorrow, so I have to go to the fashion show early."
After she finished speaking, she looked at Xu Ruoxing and asked, "Are you coming to the fashion show?"
Xu Ruoxing used to take time to go to some sites, but she was busy this time, and Li Chen didn't know either. Xu Ruoxing thought for a while and said, "I don't necessarily have to go. You should arrange everything first."
Li Chen nodded: "Don't worry, by the way, is it your wife who is leading the Huaihai team this time?"
Xu Ruoxing paused: "She didn't say."
In the past, Huaihai's old director would lead the team to the fashion show, and he would also bring team members, usually choosing from groups one or two, and occasionally taking groups three or four. Huaihai is different from the design department of s·x. Huaihai pays more attention to the group system. In s·x, whoever has the best work will be brought. For example, this time Li Chen selected three from group one and two from group two, but this is not the case with Huaihai. Huaihai usually gives the honor to one group, and chooses the work of one or two groups for each fashion show. This leads to a very strong honor of the group system in Huaihai. Of course, there are more intrigues than in other companies.
President Qu seemed to like this kind of competition very much. She felt that competition would lead to bursts of inspiration, and that when people were pushed to the extreme, they would be able to unleash their potential. Although the old director had advocated the abandonment of this system more than once when he was in office, President Qu insisted on doing so, and the effect was not bad. It was just that the relationship between the four groups was very discordant, and they were often in a state of tension. Every time there was a show, they would compete for the quota to attend.
