Huang Shiyu sent Tang Yizhou away and walked back angrily. He happened to run into Xia Xi coming out of the office, holding the flowers and those luxurious gifts sent by Tang Yizhou. Huang Shiyu went to greet her: "Mr. Xia."

"Yes." Xia Xi handed the things to her, "You can distribute this bouquet of flowers to everyone, and ask someone to deliver the rest for me."

Huang Shiyu asked: "Where should it be sent?"

"Lingtian Capital."

After Xia Xi finished speaking, he turned around and prepared to go back to the office, and happened to meet Gao Ge who was returning from the president's office.

Gao Ge's eyes showed undisguised contempt as he glanced at the pile of things Huang Shiyu was holding in his arms, such as Hermès, Chanel, and Dior. No wonder everyone was discussing it so heatedly just now.

"Xia Gong is so lucky! It hasn't been long since he started working, and already a rich second-generation guy has come after him." Gao Ge walked over and chuckled as he brushed past Xia Xi. "I heard you messed up Mr. Li's project without even a word of explanation. How can you still be a designer? You should just accept Mr. Tang's advances and go home to be a young lady. With eight servants to wait on you all day, isn't that better than staying here? Have another child to solidify your position, and you won't have to worry about the rest of your life. The workplace is better left to people like us."

Dozens of people in the hall didn't dare to breathe.

This is no longer an innuendo, it is a blatant provocation, with a strong smell of gunpowder.

If you put yourself in Xia Xi’s shoes, he would probably be mad to death.

But when they looked at Xia Xi, she didn't seem embarrassed by the humiliation at all, and her expression was so calm, as if the person Gao Ge was talking about was not her.

Even Huang Shiyu couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to speak up for Xia Xi, but was stopped by Xia Xi's eyes. Huang Shiyu bit his lower lip and labeled Gao Ge as "not easy to mess with" in his heart.

Xia Xi wasn't afraid of being laughed at, so she hit back on the spot: "I warned Engineer Gao in the tea room last time that spreading rumors without evidence would have serious consequences, but Engineer Gao didn't seem to take it to heart."

In front of everyone, Gao Ge would never admit defeat: "Everyone has witnessed what happened today..."

"Everyone has seen it?" Xia Xi interrupted her, giving her a faint smile. "Seeing isn't always believing. Engineer Gao has been in society for so long, don't you understand this?"

Gao Ge was speechless for a moment, so Xia Xi bluntly stated, "Mr. Tang came to see me today because he ruined Mr. Li's project last Friday. He brought flowers and gifts to apologize. I didn't explain why I lost the project to save Mr. Tang's face, but Engineer Gao insisted on getting to the bottom of it."

Gao Ge stared at her in disbelief: "How is that possible? You're talking nonsense!"

"Mr. Tang knows best whether I'm talking nonsense or not. Do you want me to call him back for a confrontation?" Xia Xi raised an eyebrow. "How about it?"

What she said was not a lie. It was indeed Tang Yizhou who ruined Mr. Li's project, and it was also true that Tang Yizhou came to apologize to her today. She just omitted the key information in the middle.

Of course, Gao Ge couldn't really call Tang Yizhou back to explain. Facing so many pairs of questioning eyes, she could no longer maintain her pride. Her expression changed again and again: "You, you..."

"Me? Ever since the day I joined the company, Engineer Gao has been targeting me. I don't know what I did that you didn't like. If you really can't stand it, then..." Xia Xi changed the subject, "Just quit. That way, you'll feel better, and so will I."

It was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

The staff watching thought that Xia Xi was bound to lose this round, but unexpectedly, she turned the situation around with just a few words. For a moment, it was difficult to tell whether Engineer Gao or Engineer Xia was more difficult to deal with.

"What's going on? The atmosphere is weird." The silence in the hall was broken by Lu Mingji, who appeared out of nowhere. "I was thinking of having a dinner tonight to welcome Mr. Xia back to the family, but it seems like everyone seems a little out of sorts."

Everyone immediately followed up on him and acted as an assistant to liven up the atmosphere.

"No, no, we're really looking forward to the dinner. Will Mr. Lu treat us?"

Lu Mingji said generously: "Of course."

Tang Yizhou got into the car and sat down. The driver glanced in the rearview mirror at his boss, who was fully armed and looked like a terrorist, and asked, "Where are you going next, Mr. Tang? Back to the company?"

Tang Yizhou raised his eyelids. How could he face people like this?

He would never go to the company until the swelling on his face went down.

"Go to Xu Group." After saying these three words, Tang Yizhuo leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes to rest, feeling tired.

If time goes back to last week, he would never touch Xia Xi even if he was beaten to death, and he would not even have the thought.

About forty minutes later, the car arrived at the Xu Group headquarters. Tang Yizhou got out tiredly and walked into the lobby. He was stopped by the receptionist: "Sir, who are you looking for? Do you have an appointment?"

Tang Yizhou: "..."

When people are unlucky, everything goes wrong.

Tang Yizhou said in a deep voice: "Xiao Wei, you can't even recognize me?"

This voice… The receptionist’s expression changed, and her attitude immediately became respectful: “Mr. Tang, I’m sorry, it’s my poor eyesight that I didn’t recognize you. Please don’t be offended.”

"There's no need to blame me. I was just teasing you." Tang Yizhou didn't make things difficult for the other person. He waved his hand and left.

The two girls at the front desk looked at each other.

"Is that really Mr. Tang? Why does his face seem swollen?"

"I don't know what's going on."

Tang Yizhou had been to Xu's company many times, always having access to everything. He stopped outside the CEO's office, hesitant to knock, a little worried he'd be kicked out. He called Xu Yanfeng over a dozen times over the weekend, but he didn't answer. He went to his apartment, but the nanny told him her husband was out. Tang Yizhou guessed that was probably Xu Yanfeng's excuse for not wanting to see him.

After thinking about it for a while, Tang Yizhuo slowly raised his hand and knocked on the glass door twice.
