After returning to Fengju, after having dinner, he went upstairs as usual, while Xi Xiaye cleaned up the dishes and then went upstairs...
He came out of the bathroom with half-dry long hair loose, and it was quite late at night. The lights in the bedroom and the side hall outside were still dark, but when he walked out of the bedroom, he could vaguely see a faint light coming from the door of the study. After thinking about it, he poured a glass of water and walked towards the study.
However, when he walked to the door of the study and looked inside, he was not seen in the chair in front of the desk. When he was wondering, he could faintly smell the faint smell of smoke in the air, and a cool breeze was coming.
She subconsciously looked towards the floor-to-ceiling windows, and saw a man smoking a cigarette standing by the window under a tall bookshelf.
"Don't smoke all the time, it's bad for your health."
She walked over, reached out to take the half of the cigarette that was still burning between his fingers, and handed him the water in her hand.
Mu Yuchen looked down at the little woman in front of him who was raising her head and frowning slightly at him, then looked at the cigarette she was holding on her fingertips, and then smiled faintly, "It's just nothing to do... pack up tomorrow's documents, and then rest early."
"Is there something on your mind?"
She couldn't help asking, while extinguishing the cigarette in her hand.
"What can I worry about?"
He lowered his head and took a sip of water, and said in a low voice, "Don't think too much, I just feel a little tired."
"It's just the beginning of the new year, so I'm tired, and a year is still a long time."
Xi Xiaye chuckled, and raised his hand to brush off the soot that fell on his sleeve, "I used to think that high-level people would only direct their subordinates to do things, regardless of their feelings. Only then did I realize that the pressure from the top management may actually be even greater. Like when I first joined the company... "
"At that time, did people like me become evil capitalists in your eyes?"
The corner of his mouth raised an arc, and he looked at her with a half-smile.
Xi Xiaye shrugged, "When I first joined the company, I also went to the marketing department. Our manager is a very rigid and rigorous person who is very strict with his subordinates. He always emphasizes that we must learn to stand alone, so Every time there is a problem in the market, she asks us to solve it by ourselves, and we watch it, so our subordinates are very dissatisfied with her... We call her Miejue Shitai in private... "
"Later, I got used to it. Because I did a good job, I was transferred to Vice President Liu. I encountered more and more difficulties, but I always overcame them. So I am very grateful to her. The first one who reported directly to my supervisor had a deep influence on me...she is actually very nice... "
Speaking of this, she suddenly paused, raised her head, her eyes were serious, and there was also a hint of concern, "You too, be yourself, and then you can influence those of us who are subordinates, whether it's work, Still life."
"Are you preaching to me, Director Xi?"
There was a little interest in his eyes, and he stretched out his big hand and couldn't help touching her head, as if he was comforting a little girl like a little adult. This feeling naturally made Miss Xia Ye a little unhappy, and brushed her hand Open his big hand.
"What I said is true!"
"I didn't say what you said was false!"
"Don't touch my head from now on!"
"I'm weighing whether the emotional intelligence in your head is... um!"
"Mu Yuchen! Stand still! I can't deal with you anymore! Damn it!"
Under the night, only two small shadows chasing each other were reflected on the swaying and undulating gauze curtain, and chuckles came from time to time, accompanied by the rustling wind.
After chasing for a while, Xi Xiaye finally lost all strength and fell on the bed panting. Seeing the man beside him with a smug smile, he couldn't help wondering, "It's because I didn't perform normally. I haven't exercised for a long time. My sprinting ability was still good before. I'm still on our school team, and I'm a striker... What I said is true, don't look at me with such disdainful eyes! If you don't believe me, find someone Time for us to try?"
Mu Yuchen chuckled, and handed her the warm towel in his hand, "Okay, wipe off your sweat, and then go take a shower."
Xi Xiaye took it with one hand, wiped the thin sweat on his forehead indiscriminately, and then handed him the towel, "I won't wash it, I've washed it, I'm going to sleep."
"Go and wash, don't be lazy..."
Before he could finish speaking, Miss Xia Ye had already burrowed into the quilt, so he stretched out his fingertips to support his forehead, and then he let her go, and began to tidy up the throwing pillow towels on the floor...
When he finished his busy work and went back to lie down, she was already asleep beside him. Lying so quietly, he could hear her light breathing, and he habitually embraced her in his arms, only then could he get rid of that inexplicable bleakness feel.
In a trance, it seems that she let him touch some sense of reality, not like the sense of illusion before...
…
The next day, when he packed up and came to Mr. Liu's office, Liu Lingyu and his secretary had been waiting for a long time.
"Boss Liu!"
Xi Xiaye bowed apologetically, and said with a smile, "Have you waited long?"
Liu Lingyu looked down at the time on his wrist, and responded with a smile, "Fortunately, the time is just right. The shareholders' meeting is at half past nine, and there is still more than an hour to go."
Then he got up and said, "Let's go!"
Xi Xiaye nodded, handed the folder in her hand to Xiaomei behind her, and followed Liu Lingyu's footsteps.
"You may need to be busy these days. Director Mu has already told me about your affairs. I didn't expect that you and Yue Ying have such a relationship. I also didn't expect that you and Director Mu have already..."
Liu Lingyu, who was walking in front, suddenly turned his head to look at Xi Xiaye behind him, and he said that only after she stepped forward.
Hearing this, Xi Xiaye paused, lowered his eyes indifferently, and replied, "Well, thank you Mr. Liu for your care. I am only the holder of the equity, and I still depend on you for the specific operations. You don’t have to take care of me, you can do whatever you want, everything is in the interests of the company.”
"Well, it's really hard for you, Director Xi. During this period of time, you may have to pay more attention to take care of this place. Your plan for the Nanjiang project should not be delayed, right? Pay attention to the balance between work and rest."
Liu Lingyu said with concern.
"Thank you, it's okay, Mr. Liu, don't worry, Mr. Mu has transferred me a few capable assistants. Now I just organize and complete the information, and there won't be too much pressure. Yueying's matter, I still need to thank you I'm afraid I won't be able to tell what kind of thoughts to take care of in the future."
Xi Xiaye said sincerely that she has always been respectful and grateful to Liu Lingyu, who is like her former mentor.
