Chapter 162 Did that bastard Xie Siyan make things difficult for you at work?
Vice President Xu of Bank of China International looked at Mu Jia's hurriedly leaving back, hesitant to speak, and said in a tone of coming over, "Si Yan..."
Xie Siyan suddenly stood up.
The chair legs scraped harshly on the floor.
"Excuse me, I have to excuse myself for a moment."
He apologized briefly, his slender fingers casually loosening his tie, and when he turned around, he brought with him a whiff of the scent of agarwood. Chi Wu looked over, and a look of confusion appeared in his wide eyes.
However, she managed her facial expressions very well. Xie Siyan said that he didn't like people with good working abilities, but she couldn't really be incompetent. In the entertainment industry, social skills are considered basic skills. If she lacked any of them, she wouldn't be where she is today. She quickly started socializing with other people present.
——
Mu Jia stood in front of the mirror in the bathroom for a long time, his hands on the marble countertop, took a deep breath, and then looked up.
The person in the mirror had a pale face and bloodless lips.
She couldn't imagine that she had just left the dinner party like this.
She turned on the faucet and let the cold water wash over her trembling fingertips.
He reasonably suspected that he had just been making a veiled allusion to her...
Mu Jia leaned weakly on the marble countertop, reminiscing.
It seems that Xie Siyan really doesn't appreciate girls with strong working abilities.
Judging from his past.
Bai Yirou is not a career-oriented person.
After they met again, she even mocked him for giving up him for his career. Mu Jia suddenly curled his lips in self-deprecating manner, not knowing whether he was laughing at him or at himself.
Her ambition and work ability, which she was so proud of, were worthless to him. She still dreamed of standing on a higher level and being on equal footing with him...
After three rounds of drinking.
The atmosphere in the box gradually became lively, and the previous incident was over.
Chi Wu told a joke, and when Xie Siyan came back, he just heard the second half. He glanced at the empty seat next to him, pulled the chair over and sat down.
After Mu Jia returned, he found that there was no seat available, so he could only sit on the other side, next to Chi Wu.
Simply.
In the second half of the dinner, everyone talked about the economic situation and the macro-market, and there was nothing else that made her uncomfortable.
…
A good night's sleep.
7:30 in the morning.
The alarm clock pierced the silence.
Mu Jia closed his eyes, reached out to press it away, and curled up deep in the quilt.
She stayed in the warm bed for another twenty minutes before reluctantly sitting up.
The drizzle of autumn rain outside the window adds a bit of melancholy.
Mu Jia sat on the bed, staring at the business suits in the closet. She suddenly felt like she was on the execution ground. Xie Siyan had been causing her to become increasingly averse to work lately, and after what he had said last night, she no longer had the motivation to work hard.
After watching for a while, she simply lay back down and stayed in bed for a long time before getting up.
…
Unprecedentedly late.
Downstairs of the China Construction Building, Mu Jia slipped past the time clock with a bit of embarrassment.
Fortunately, on-site employees do not need to punch in.
But her swagger was also very inappropriate.
Before I even got on the elevator, a voice came from behind me, "Director Mu."
Mu Jia turned around and found that it was the male colleague she met when Xie Siyan sent her to Zhou's house that day. Mu Jia forced a smile and was handed a cup of coffee by the other party.
"I bought too much."
"Thank you." Mu Jia had big dark circles under his eyes, but he didn't refuse. He took the coffee, quickly walked into the open elevator door, and took a deep breath.
…
Working hours.
After dealing with the urgent matter, Mu Jia took the time to call Song Mingxi, "I..."
Song Mingxi noticed something was wrong with her tone and asked, "Jia Jia, what's wrong with you?"
Mu Jia closed his eyes.
Not only does she have to go to work every day, but she also has to prepare herself mentally for a long time, and every day at work feels like a year.
Mu Jia bit her lip and held it in for a long time, "...I don't feel like going to work."
This sentence shocked Song Mingxi.
No matter what happened in the past, Mu Jia was always very dedicated to his work.
Pursuing a career is her hallmark. She was an excellent student with outstanding grades in school, and she was also an excellent employee after graduation.
Song Mingxi rolled his eyes, thinking of something, "What's going on? Did that bastard Xie Siyan give you a hard time at work?"
I didn't have any trouble at work...
Mu Jia found it difficult to speak.
Xie Siyan was quite dedicated to his work, but... it was precisely because of this that she couldn't even find a way to complain to her bestie.
Even if he kissed Chi Wu in front of her, it would only be considered as him being immoral. If he did not have ulterior motives, it would not be considered as him targeting her.
Mu Jia sighed and spoke in a rather fragile voice, "Mingxi, can you ask your driver to pick me up after work? I want to see you."
"Of course, no problem!" Song Mingxi loved her bestie very much. "I'll tell him right away. I'll wait for you downstairs of the China Construction Building as soon as I get off work and rescue you from that dog of Xie Siyan's."
In the evening, Mu Jia chatted with Song Mingxi's best friend.
Zhou Xu received a cold look from his wife, who rushed out to buy some midnight snacks and told him not to come back.
Mu Jia curled up on the chaise longue in Song Mingxi's private nest at the Zhou family's house, hugging the goose down quilt tightly in his arms, staring blankly at the rain outside the window.
For a moment, there were only two best friends left in the huge bedroom.
"Jia Jia..." Song Mingxi handed over a cup of warm red date tea, hesitant to speak, "Are you..."
She wanted to ask Mu Jia if he had been wronged.
To the extent that she even began to feel disgusted with the class.
She thought of a possibility. Although Mu Jia refused to say anything, she had seen the overwhelming trending searches...
After thinking for a while, Song Mingxi decided to play dumb.
Sometimes, when it comes to matters of the heart, you have to think it through yourself; no one else can do it for you.
Mu Jia was in a daze until around nine o'clock in the evening before saying goodbye.
Song Mingxi sent a text message to Zhou Xu, telling him that he could come back.
Half an hour later, Zhou Xu came in with some midnight snacks. Before he could say anything, the pregnant woman, who was covering her belly, kicked him.
Zhou Xu cried out "Ouch".
Song Mingxi vented her emotions, "I shouldn't have married you!"
Zhou Xu, "?"
"In your circle, there isn't a single man who upholds male morality. Xie Siyan isn't a good person either. I should have seen through him earlier..."
Zhou Xu put down the shrimp dumplings and went to help her, saying, "I didn't collude with them."
Song Mingxi turned her head dimly, "I know." After saying that, she pursed her lips, "Young Master Zhou used to be the most extravagant one there, and they usually didn't take you with them."
Zhou Xu, “…”
He knew that if he was late, Xie Siyan would be blamed for his death.
