To escape being sold for betrothal gifts, Song Mai chooses to have a flash marriage with a stranger, Chu Xing, on the same day. After getting their marriage certificate, she still doesn't know ...
"In addition, the other party has indicated that the meeting will be postponed to tomorrow morning, giving us ample time to prepare."
Upon hearing this news, everyone present subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, having enough time allows for better preparation.
"Alright, this plan is crucial. Since everyone has their own ideas, please give me your feedback as soon as possible today." Ji Fenghe finished speaking, then wearily waved his hand, signaling the meeting to adjourn.
Song Mai was the last to leave, but before she could leave the meeting room, Ji Fenghe stopped her.
"Song Mai, what do you think?"
Song Mai pondered for a moment, then gently shook her head at Ji Feng, and after a moment said in a low voice, "I don't have any other ideas at the moment."
The existing solution is the result of everyone's discussion and is already quite perfect.
If Song Mai insists on striving for perfection, he loses his way.
"Okay." Ji Fenghe's tone was completely flat.
Seeing that he didn't say anything more, Song Mai got up and prepared to leave.
I had just stepped into the office when I suddenly bumped into someone.
"Are you blind?" Liu Jia'er's sharp voice rang out, and Song Mai, who was already dizzy, frowned even more instinctively upon hearing it.
She stared coldly at Liu Jiaer, who looked ready to cause trouble, and simply said, "I'm sorry."
"Be more careful next time. If you damage me, can you afford to pay for it?" A fleeting hint of guilt flashed in Liu Jia'er's eyes, but Li Songmai noticed it.
She stared at Liu Jia'er's retreating figure in surprise. Could it be that Liu Jia'er had dug a hole for herself with her guilty look?
"Why did you apologize first?" Su He looked at her red forehead with heartache and scolded Liu Jia'er for her rudeness in a low voice.
"There's no need to argue with her over such a small thing."
Song Mai didn't want to waste time, and since everyone was busy preparing revisions, she absolutely couldn't slack off either.
Su He spoke in a low voice, unable to hold back her words: "I've also heard about the new energy project. It's a very tricky situation, and if things go wrong, we might even be kicked out of Yunxing. You must be careful and not let anything slip by."
These words made Song Mai frown. Although Su He was gossipy, she didn't care too much about the problems of other project teams.
After all, the company has a clear rule that project secrets cannot be discussed across different teams.
Su He has always respected the company's rules and regulations, and even if she occasionally gossips, she can control herself and would never inquire about this matter like she is now.
Song Mai looked around and led her to the tea room.
Once she was sure no one was nearby, Song Mai spoke in a voice only the two of them could hear: "Who told you these things?"
Nobody told me.
Su He wasn't good at lying, and her flustered expression was enough to reveal her panic.
Song Mai sighed helplessly: "I just hope you won't believe everything you hear. What if you get used as a pawn? Wouldn't it be a waste to have this job?"
"Actually, I overheard Liu Jiaer talking to someone on the phone. Since she can discuss it in public, I should be fine too, right?" Su He shrugged guiltily.
It really was her.
Song Mai had always harbored a vague suspicion, and now it seemed that she was right.
Her purpose in deliberately revealing these things to Su He remains unknown.
Song Mai instructed Su He to stop the discussion and also indicated that everything they had just said was a project secret.
Su He was terrified, her heart pounding at the thought of how loudly she had spoken outside.
"It's alright, don't worry for now," Song Mai reassured her.
After all, she reacted in time and stopped Su He from saying anything further, thus saving herself from danger.
The proposed revisions left Song Mai pondering for a long time, completely at a loss.
Exhausted, she went to the break room to make herself coffee. Turning her head, she glanced out the window and a familiar figure came into view.
Song Mai stood there, stunned, blinking in surprise, wanting to see more clearly.
But the figure looked very familiar, strikingly similar to Chu Xing.
How did Chu Xing end up here?
Song Mai frowned, staring intently at the person's figure, trying to make out what he was seeing.
"What are you looking at?" Ji Fenghe's voice came from beside her ear, and Song Mai jumped.
His expression made him chuckle: "Even if you slack off at work, you don't need to be so afraid, do you?"
"I didn't slack off." Song Mai was anxious and wanted to get a good look at the person's appearance.
However, given the presence of the monsoon and the fact that he was there, he couldn't easily change the subject.
“A proper rest can indeed improve work efficiency, I won’t say anything about that.” Ji Fenghe raised his coffee to her, then turned and left.
When Song Mai looked downstairs again, the person had already disappeared.
She excitedly called Chu Xing, but he didn't answer for a long time.
At this moment, in the car, Assistant Lu kept observing Chu Xing through the rearview mirror.
My boss has never looked so worried before. A hint of smugness flashed in his eyes, but his hands moved hesitantly. It's obvious that my boss is troubled because of Miss Song.
The phone rang for a long time, but Chu Xing showed no intention of answering it and instead muted it.
Unable to contain his curiosity any longer, Assistant Lu asked, "Mr. Yun, was that Miss Song calling?"
Chu Xing neither denied it nor directly admitted it.
Assistant Lu understood immediately, and said helplessly, "Perhaps Miss Song really does have something to discuss with you?"
"She must have seen me upstairs." Although he didn't know why he had this thought, a suspicion began to creep into his mind.
I had just left the company when Song Mai called.
Normally, she's too busy to call directly about anything, let alone wait patiently for the call to hang up on its own like she is now.
"But what does this have to do with answering the phone?" Assistant Lu couldn't suppress his gossip and asked with increasing curiosity.
"I'm in a meeting."
Upon hearing these four words, Assistant Lu immediately understood and nodded silently.
Only his own boss could think things through so clearly; he had to admit defeat.
When Song Mai looked up again, it was already time to leave work. Looking at the plan on the screen in front of her, she smiled with satisfaction.
"Maizi, are you off work?" Su He excitedly approached Song Mai and asked in a low voice.
Looking at the screen full of text, I couldn't help but ask, "Have you already finished writing all the revisions?"
Sensing the gazes directed at her, Song Mai immediately gestured for Su He to keep her voice down.
"No," she said lightly.
When she goes out, she always feels like there's an eye watching her, which makes her very uncomfortable, but she can't quite put her finger on what's wrong.
