Chapter 222 Why did you hit me?

As soon as Lu Yiran walked out of the building, he saw Song Rui standing at the company door like a telephone pole.

When Song Rui saw Lu Yiran coming down alone, his eyes widened as if he had seen a ghost. Where was the romantic lunch they had agreed on? Why did Mr. Lu come out alone in such a dejected state?

"Mr. Lu..."

Song Rui quickly put away his gossipy expression, but he almost bit his tongue because of his violent movements.

"Where are we going now?"

He tried hard to sound professional, but his stomach suddenly growled in protest.

Lu Yiran glanced at him:

"Go back to the company."

Song Rui's face instantly fell, like a golden retriever whose snacks were taken away.

He opened the car door for his boss dejectedly, wailing in his heart: Didn’t he say he was going to eat? Why did he go straight back to the office?

After getting on the bus, Song Rui's stomach started to growl again, and the "gurgling" sound was particularly clear in the quiet carriage.

He was so embarrassed that he dug his toes into the ground and wished he could just disappear on the spot.

Lu Yiran saw his assistant's despairing look in the rearview mirror and raised his lips slightly: "Are you hungry?"

Song Rui immediately straightened his back:

"I'm not hungry! I'm just... doing abdominal breathing!"

Just as Song Rui finished speaking, his stomach growled again, this time as loud as a subwoofer.

"Turn right at the next intersection." Lu Yiran said suddenly.

Song Rui was confused: "Ah? This is not the way back to the company..."

Lu Yiran slowly adjusted his cuffs, looked at him and said:

"I suddenly remembered that there's a restaurant over there that seems pretty good."

Song Rui's eyes suddenly lit up and he unconsciously stepped on the accelerator.

Sure enough, the boss is the best! He made heart shapes in his heart, completely forgetting that he was secretly complaining about the other person's failed date.

But the next second, Lu Yiran added: "After you drop me off at the company, go eat by yourself."

Song Rui: ...

Song Rui's hands on the steering wheel were shaking slightly. At this moment, Assistant Song deeply experienced the ups and downs of life.

He glanced at his boss through the rearview mirror with resentment and found that Lu Yiran was looking out the window with a faint smile on his lips.

Well, I got tricked by the boss again.

Song Rui thought angrily, what a miserable life he had been leading every day. He toiled all day, not only did he not have a lunch break, he couldn't even eat...

Chu Ci rubbed the back of his head which was aching slightly, and walked into Yu Shi Xuan with a slightly unsteady step.

The afternoon sun streamed in through the floor-to-ceiling windows, causing his eyes to squint slightly. Damn that damn hangover feeling.

"Mr. Chu, are you okay?"

The waiter from yesterday came running over, his face full of worry.

"You don't look well."

Chu Ci waved his hand and ordered a light lunch. When the food was served, he chewed mechanically but could not taste anything. When it was time to pay the bill, he stopped the waiter who was about to leave.

He frowned, tapping his fingers on the table unconsciously.

"Who sent me to the hotel last night?"

The waitress nearly dropped the tray in her hand and swallowed nervously.

"You...you don't remember?"

Chu Ci sneered and pointed to the back of his head:

"I only remember having dinner with Tang Yutong. I have no memory of what happened after that. It still hurts a lot here. Do you think I should ask for clarification?"

"It was Miss Tang who took you away. I don't know what happened afterwards..."

"OK."

Chu Ci didn't say anything else and drove his car directly to Yihe Studio.

————

Chu Ci parked the car steadily in front of the company's door, tapped the steering wheel with his slender fingers, and then walked towards Yihe Studio with familiar steps.

As soon as he pushed open the glass door, he was stopped by the receptionist.

"Sir, do you have an appointment? This is an office area and you can't enter casually."

The receptionist gave a professional smile. Chu Ci frowned slightly, with a hint of impatience in his tone:

"I'm looking for your Mr. Tang."

"Then you need to make an appointment. Without an appointment, I can't let you in." The receptionist remained polite.

Chu Ci seemed to have heard some ridiculous joke. Who did he, Chu Ci, need to make an appointment to see? People always lined up to wait for his favor.

"You don't know me? I was here two days ago."

The receptionist looked up at him and said, "Are you face-blind? I wasn't on duty the last two days. She's off today."

There was a subtle hint of sarcasm in her tone.

Chu Ci was choked by this sudden counterattack. He narrowed his eyes and thought to himself, this little girl is quite bold. She actually dared to say that he was face-blind? Obviously, she had a face that was completely unrecognizable.

Chu Ci was too lazy to argue with it. He just wanted to ask Tang Yutong what was going on with his head.

"What do you want in exchange for letting me in?" He suppressed his anger and lowered his voice.

"Register for an appointment now. I'll call you when it's your turn." The receptionist answered in a businesslike manner.

Chuci: ???

Chu Ci couldn't believe his ears: "What if I don't register?"

"Then you can't come in. Stay outside by yourself."

After saying that, the receptionist lowered her head to organize the documents and ignored him.

Chu Ci laughed out loud in anger. This was the first time he had encountered such a difficult receptionist. In desperation, he took out his phone and called Tang Yutong.

The call was quickly connected, and Tang Yutong's clear voice came: "Hello?"

"Come down." Chu Ci said concisely.

Tang Yutong was confused: "What? I'm at work."

"You'll know when you come down."

Chu Ci hung up the phone after he finished speaking.

Ten minutes later, the elevator door opened and Tang Yutong walked out quickly. She immediately saw Chu Ci sitting on the sofa in the lobby and asked in confusion:

"You're already downstairs, why don't you just come up?"

"Ask her."

Chu Ci raised his chin towards the front desk, his tone clearly filled with displeasure.

The receptionist then realized the seriousness of the matter and quickly stood up to apologize:

"I'm sorry, Mr. Tang, I didn't know this gentleman was your friend..."

Tang Yutong looked at the unfamiliar face and asked, "Are you new here?"

"Yes, today is my first day at work." The receptionist twisted her fingers nervously.

Hearing this, Tang Yutong didn't say anything more. After all, she was also doing things according to the rules. Then she said to the front desk:

"This is Mr. Chu, a major client of our company. If he comes to the company in the future, just bring him up."

"Yes, Mr. Tang." The receptionist responded with a sense of relief.

In the elevator, Tang Yutong couldn't help but ask, "What do you want to talk to me about today?"

Chu Ci stared at the rising floor numbers without saying a word. He didn't turn around and question until he walked into the office and closed the door:

"Did you take me to the hotel last night?"

"Yeah, what's wrong?" Tang Yutong poured a glass of water and handed it to him.

"Why did you hit me?"
