Chapter 31031 Thank you

Xue Yi leaned forward, gradually closing the distance between them.

The dim light flickered on her face. She was so close that she could smell the faint fragrance of her hair and her warm breath, which sprayed on her cheeks with a burning itch.

Yu Zeyuan leaned against the motorcycle, motionless, letting the other person approach. Only the slight trembling of his thick eyelashes betrayed his nervousness. He watched those plump lips get closer and closer. Just as he was about to close his eyes—

Xue Yi turned his face away and put out the cigarette butt in his hand on the trash can beside him.

She stood up and distanced herself from him, a playful smile on her lips: "Sorry, I hate the smell of cigarettes, so I'm not interested in trying it."

Yu Zeyuan's face darkened instantly. To hide the flash of disappointment that flashed through his heart, he said fiercely, "Do you really think I'll let you succeed?"

Xue Yi crossed her arms and tilted her head teasingly, "Oh? Who was that just now..."

"Shut up!" Yu Zeyuan's ears instantly burned, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. He interrupted rudely and forcibly changed the subject, "What's wrong with this motorcycle?"

Xue Yi had already prepared an excuse, "Oh, I suddenly wanted to learn how to ride a motorcycle, and I saw someone selling one online. I liked it, so I bought it."

Yu Zeyuan frowned, clearly not believing this nonsense: "There are so many styles, why did you pick this one?"

"That's not..." Xue Yi deliberately dragged out the last word, his eyes moving, "I want to ride the same bike as you."

Sure enough, the blush that Yu Zeyuan had finally managed to calm down returned to his cheeks, even staining his neck pink. He angrily asked, "You, what on earth do you want to do?"

Xue Yi restrained his expression a little and followed his example, leaning on the other end of the motorcycle.

The night wind blew her hair around her temples. She said seriously, "Because, I want to do this with you..." She paused for a second and slowly uttered the last two words, "Friends."

Yu Zeyuan's breathing suddenly stopped and he turned his head to meet Xue Yi's gaze.

Those dark eyes were surprisingly bright in the dim light, and her gaze was sincere and gentle.

At this moment, my heart seemed to be hit by something and was beating wildly.

He quickly turned his head, staring at the ground, and muttered in a muffled voice, "I don't need friends."

In the dim light, Yu Zeyuan half lowered his head, his jet-black hair shone softly under the light, his jawline was distinct, and his lips of moderate thickness were pursed into a straight line, like a stubborn child.

Xue Yi turned her head and stared at him quietly, her voice very soft, "But, I need it."

Yu Zeyuan's body stiffened, and his hands, which were originally casually placed on the motorcycle, suddenly tightened, and his knuckles turned white from the exertion.

Finally, he stood up, grabbed a helmet and stuffed it into Xue Yi's arms, saying stiffly, "Let's go back."

Xue Yi held the helmet and asked, "So what is our relationship now?"

"Whatever you think is what it is, why so much nonsense!"

Yu Zeyuan seemed to be confused, and put on his helmet with a larger movement than usual. He turned the key hard, and the roar of the engine covered up the shyness in his heart.

Xue Yi curled the corners of his mouth. What an awkward elementary school student.

It was already early morning when I got home.

When the morning light filtered through the curtains, the two of them appeared in the living room with the same dark circles under their eyes. It was obvious that they had not slept well last night.

They walked out of the elevator one after another.

Xue Yi noticed that Yu Zeyuan was still following behind her, so she stopped and turned around: "Didn't I give you the car keys?"

Yu Zeyuan stood still and said, "That's your car."

"I'll let you ride it for now. I can't use it right now anyway."

Yu Zeyuan looked at her departing back, his eyes flashing slightly.

He seemed to be increasingly unable to understand this woman.

Xue Yi hadn't slept well the previous night, so she felt a little dazed the entire day. Fortunately, there were only two presentations that day, and both were in the afternoon.

She was lying on the table taking a nap, and just as she was falling asleep, she was awakened by a fierce quarrel.

"It stinks! Can you please go outside and eat?"

"You're the only one allowed to eat spicy hot pot at the company, but I'm not allowed to eat snail noodles? You're still watching TV at work! It's my lunch break!"

"If you're brave enough, watch this at work! Besides, my spicy hot pot smells delicious, yours stinks like a toilet..."

"Hey! I'm eating! Watch your mouth! Let me tell you, others may be afraid of you, but I'm not!"

"Hey? What, you still want to fight?"

Xue Yi didn't want to pay attention, but the argument was getting more intense, and she couldn't rest any longer. She stood up and walked to the entrance of the telemarketing department with a gloomy face.

"If you want to argue, go outside and argue. It's lunchtime now."

Lin Wei saw Xue Yi at the door and was furious. If it weren't for her, Brother Aze wouldn't have left her yesterday! And he wouldn't have ignored her until now!

She stiffened her neck provocatively, "I'm happy to argue here! What's it to you?"

Xue Yi glanced at him coldly: "This is the company, watch your words and actions."

"Why didn't I notice? She was eating snail noodles in the company, and I couldn't stop her?"

Xue Yi turned to the colleague and said, "This smell is indeed a bit strong. Please go eat outside first."

The colleague looked at Lin Wei dissatisfiedly: "But she..."

"I'll take care of it."

"Okay, Manager Xue."

Xue Yi continued to look at Lin Wei. "You made loud noises during lunch break, disturbing others' rest. According to company regulations, a verbal warning is given for the first offense. However, you have repeatedly ignored company rules and regulations and have not changed despite repeated warnings. This time, 100 yuan of salary will be deducted."

One hundred yuan was nothing to her, but she refused to accept it. "Why?! You're not my boss!"

"I have more seniority and a higher position than you, and I have the right to intervene in violations of company discipline."

Xue Yi raised an eyebrow. "If you're not convinced, then show me some real skills and impress me instead of acting like a spoiled brat and annoying me."

From childhood to adulthood, no one had ever dared to teach her a lesson like this! Lin Wei was so angry that she was shaking all over: "Just wait! I'll have Grandpa fire you tomorrow!"

Xue Yi did not flinch, "Okay, even if Mr. Xu comes in person, I'm not afraid."

Lin Wei didn't expect to run into such a tough opponent. Her face turned pale. "Okay! I'll remember you!"

Xue Yi was unhurried and retorted, "I'll remember you too, you're a 'young lady' who has accomplished nothing but relying on the support of her family."

"You, say it again!!!"

"Not convinced? How about a bet? Within a week, if you can invite ten companies and institutions with more than 20 employees and arrange promotional opportunities on your own, I will recognize your ability and apologize to you in public. Otherwise, if you fail to do so, you will have to apologize to me."

When Lin Wei heard this, her eyes lit up instantly. Just ten companies, wouldn't it be easy to capture them with her connections?

"Okay! It's a deal!"

Xue Yi raised a triumphant smile and turned back to his workstation.

To deal with this kind of spoiled young lady, you must first dampen her spirit and make her fall hard before she learns the limits.

In the next few days, Lin Wei was not late for the first time. Instead, she followed everyone on the phone and even Yu Zeyuan became much quieter.

'squeak--'

My phone vibrated. It was a WeChat message from Zhang Yu.

Zhang Yu: [Screenshot]

Zhang Yu: [Sister, I've already done what you asked me to do. Do you think we can just write it off?]

Xue Yi clicked on the screenshot and saw a transfer of 20,000 yuan and an apology message.

11: [OK.]

Yu Zeyuan was quite surprised by Lin Wei's change. What was even more surprising was that he received a transfer of 20,000 yuan from Zhang Yu, along with an apology message:

Zhang Yu: [Brother Yuan, I'm truly sorry about what happened that night. I didn't mean to lie to you. I've been reflecting deeply these past few days. I'll slowly pay back the money I borrowed. And...]

He stared at the phone screen, looking at the transfer hesitantly, his brow furrowed.

"If you don't want this money, you can give it to me."

Xue Yi sat down opposite him without him noticing, with a plate in front of her, and said seriously, "If you're embarrassed to collect it, I'll help you."

Yu Zeyuan pursed his lips and clicked to accept.

The next second, Xue Yi received a transfer reminder on WeChat.

This guy actually transferred the money to her!

Yu Zeyuan coughed dryly and stared at the plate in front of him: "Don't get me wrong, this is the money for the motorcycle. Don't think I don't know, this motorcycle is exactly the same as the one I sold before."

"oh."

Xue Yi did not refuse. The moment she pressed the payment button, a barely audible voice drifted to her ears:

"Thanks."

She suddenly turned her head.

Yu Zeyuan buried her head in her meal and concentrated on it, as if the two words just now were just her illusion.
