Chapter 495: Deliberately Doing It
Xu Ganjia and Han Yuxin completely ignored the sound of the two swiping their cards to enter the room, and continued to play King of Glory with great enthusiasm: "Don't take my blue buff, if you want the blue buff, go fight the other side!"
I already said to give me the mana; mages use a lot of mana, okay?
"Okay, then come and get it quickly, I've already finished half of it."
Sheng Yu and Yu Shimiao exchanged a glance, then helplessly washed up and went to bed. Neither of them spoke, and even when they wanted to chat, they only sent messages on their phones.
——
Yuan Siyin woke up the next day with a headache and a very uncomfortable nose, as if she had caught a cold from sweating too much the day before and then being in the air conditioning for too long.
She rubbed her temples, barely managing to wash up, and then walked straight out the door.
My head is foggy and I'm not good at driving. I can't even see the road. I might cause an accident. Luckily, it's Friday. I can just hang in there.
She paused as she passed a corner coffee shop, went in, and ordered her usual sea salt coffee. She held it in her hand, drinking it as she walked, trying to stay awake.
"Hey, good morning, Director Yuan. Did you come in someone else's car today?"
By sheer coincidence, I ran into Xie Jiuming downstairs. He waved and asked with a smug smile.
People were coming and going at the company entrance, mostly junior employees rushing to clock in or run errands. They couldn't help but stop and glance at the name tags hanging on the two people's chests.
Moreover, Xie Jiuming's voice wasn't quiet; in fact, it seemed like he was doing it on purpose.
"Good morning, Director Xie." Yuan Siyin nodded lightly, not really in the mood to argue with him here. She was about to walk past him to clock in when he stopped her, taking advantage of her.
"I heard that Director Yuan has a very rich extracurricular life. He even had dinner with the president of Polar Star. Why don't you bring us along next time?"
After dinner, we can go sing karaoke to strengthen the relationship between the two companies.
A commotion erupted around them, with whispers coming from all directions: "No way, didn't the president of Polaris just take office? He's already been implicated so quickly?"
"Who knows? Isn't Xiao Sheng completely smitten with him too? Every time he visits the set, he brings me a gift as hush money."
"Sigh, he's mentored me twice during shift changes. Is Director Yuan trying to have his cake and eat it too?"
"You're getting a good deal and you're still complaining. Shut up! Doesn't the president of Polaris have an order with our operations department? What's with your stinking mouth babbling on so early in the morning?"
One of the operations staff couldn't stand it anymore. He pretended to spill his coffee, which startled the receptionist who had just spoken, causing her to take two steps back, afraid of getting her niche brand dress dirty.
Yuan Siyin frowned slightly, her beautiful brows furrowed, her expression a little displeased: "Is Director Xie satisfied?"
"What do you mean by 'satisfied' or 'unsatisfied'?"
Xie Jiuming shrugged, looking completely unconcerned, while holding a cup of sea salt coffee in his hand: "If you had agreed to be with me back then, how could these people still be gossiping like this?"
"What does this have to do with whether I agree or not?" She suppressed her dizziness and subtly lowered her hand, seemingly placing the coffee on the access control machine, but actually finding something to lean on.
"If you agree, our statuses are so well-matched that no one will say behind your back that you're trying to climb the social ladder."
As Xie Jiuming spoke, he held up his sea salt coffee, his narrow eyes full of smugness, as if mocking her past ignorance: "Look, we both like to drink the same coffee."
