Chapter 166: I haven’t had a girlfriend in the past two years...
There was silence for two seconds.
With a "click", Mu Jia hung up the landline next to the table.
The crisp sound was a bit harsh in the quiet office area.
Outside the glass window, several colleagues raised their heads when they heard the sound, and when they saw that it was her who hung up the phone, they lowered their heads tactfully.
Mu Jia took a deep breath.
The glass reflected her hot cheeks. She mechanically lowered her head, trying to organize the documents on the table to sort out her thoughts.
But obviously, Kobayashi didn't give her this opportunity.
"Director Mu..." Xiao Lin knocked on the door timidly, holding a document that needed to be signed in his hand.
"Come in."
After Mu Jia finished speaking, she glanced at her, silently took the documents, and quietly signed her name on each page where it needed to be signed. After signing, she pointed to the seat next to her and said, "Sit down. I have something to tell you."
"In the workplace, it is inevitable that some of the leader's personal affairs will be exposed." In just a few minutes, Mu Jia made a decisive decision to put all the problems on Xie Siyan alone.
As the saying goes, it's better to let your friend die than to let yourself die. She decided to get herself out of this first, and so she spoke with a sympathetic tone, "Well, these men in high positions are always a bit perverted. When I checked that email the other day, I was also shocked..."
Xiao Lin took a deep breath, thought for two seconds, and then nodded as if suddenly realizing something. "So you were also sent it by mistake. I thought..."
Mu Jia nodded solemnly.
Xiao Lin looked at her and suddenly spoke seriously, "But I think we shouldn't say that about our President Xie."
Mu Jia,?
"Our Mr. Xie is a normal adult man."
“…”
"As adults, who wouldn't want to watch movies? Even though the content is a bit explosive... doesn't this just prove that Mr. Xie is in good health? He's not like what others say, that he hasn't had a girlfriend in two years..."
So you're still a die-hard fan of Xie Siyan?
Mu Jia's complicated gaze fell on the girl in front of him. After looking at her for a long time, he suddenly didn't know how to continue speaking, so he could only nod stiffly.
“It’s quite healthy.”
She recalled that day in the bathroom, when they were hugging each other like this and he reacted. Lin Susu was worried about his health, but that was really unnecessary.
"Yes," Xiaolin nodded seriously. "China Construction Group will definitely have successors." After finishing the conversation quickly, Xiaolin realized that he had said too much and stood up tentatively. "Then, I won't bother you anymore?"
Lightning flash.
Just before Xiaolin was about to walk out the door, something suddenly flashed through Mu Jia's mind and she called her -
"Is your salary really half a million?"
She held up her face and asked.
"Five hundred thousand?" Xiao Lin's eyes widened in shock, and she waved her hands frantically. "Director Mu, who told you that? I've only been in the company for a few years, and my total salary is only a little over two hundred thousand. Even with bonuses..." She shook her head affirmatively, "That's far from enough."
Mu Jia, "..."
So she was his little fan girl, and she knew that she would cover for him. She couldn't even remember her salary, so she just lied to herself and said that there was no way it would be leaked.
——
The lingering echoes of autumn linger in the streets and alleys.
Mu Jia was enjoying the rare cool autumn weather while walking on the street. Before he could turn into a small shop, a familiar figure suddenly appeared in front of him.
"Miss Mu Jia...?"
Mu Jia turned around and paused.
Xie Ling's pale face suddenly appeared in front of her.
She wasn't carrying a bag and looked like she was out shopping. Her destination seemed to be the same earring shop as hers.
Three years ago, I was her bridesmaid. Even if I wanted to pretend not to know her, my subconscious reaction had already come out.
Moreover, Xie Ling's eyes were a little bit similar to Xie Siyan's, and she recognized him almost at first sight, so it was difficult to fake it.
"Hello."
Mu Jia curled her lips in a forced smile, not knowing what expression to use when facing her. If she had to talk about grudges, she had already let it go after three years.
"Does my brother know that you've returned to China?" Xie Ling realized a problem and quickly lowered his head to take out his cell phone.
Mu Jia choked and saw her dial a number.
When he realized who she was talking to on the phone, Mu Jia suddenly raised his hand and, not caring if it was offensive, stopped her from pressing the dial button.
"He...knows."
"You two got back together?" Xie Ling opened his eyes wide, then suddenly said "Huh?" and paused.
Mu Jia looked at her and understood that she must be thinking of Xie Siyan's endless scandals on TV, and was stunned there.
Mu Jia prepared to leave.
Turned around and walked straight to the earring shop.
Xie Ling caught up and grabbed her arm, "I know there's a misunderstanding between you and your brother, because of my aunt..."
Mu Jia was stunned for a moment, then slowly turned around and saw Xie Ling speak without hesitation, "Brother, he misses you very much... He hasn't had a girlfriend in the past two years!"
Mu Jia didn't know whether this Miss Xie, like Lin Susu, was a die-hard fan of Xie Siyan and a bigoted fan of his brother.
Otherwise, how could she have such a deep affection for Xie Siyan.
He hasn't had a girlfriend in two years? Then Ye Zhen is...
Seeing that she didn't believe him, Xie Ling became anxious and told her everything Chen Fu Ji had told her.
"It's true," she nodded. "My brother wants to take his assets abroad, but he doesn't have a good reason. Miss Ye is just a cover."
Mu Jia was silent for a while, then suddenly, out of professional sensitivity, asked, "Can you say that casually?"
“…”
——
Mu Jia chatted with Xie Ling for a while on the long street, but he didn't feel like wandering around anymore, so he bought a few pieces of jewelry and went home.
The wind began to turn cooler in the evening.
Mu Jia was holding a water cup on the balcony, and Xie Ling's words from the daytime emerged in his mind -
"Brother misses you very much..."
"I haven't had a girlfriend in the past two years..."
"Miss Ye is a cover..."
Mu Jiaxin couldn't help but jump twice.
At ten o'clock in the evening, she hugged her quilt and prepared to go to bed early for the first time in her life.
I covered myself with the quilt and put down my phone. Before I could fall into a deep sleep, the phone under my pillow started vibrating.
Mu Jia was half asleep and half awake, groping for his phone. After a while, the phone was still vibrating.
She opened her eyes drowsily and saw that it was an incoming phone call.
Unknown number.
Mu Jia hesitated for two seconds and pressed the answer button. Before pressing the answer button, she thought to herself that if it was a scam call, she would curse the other party to relieve the frustration she had suffered from Xie Siyan in recent days, and then hang up the phone.
"Ms. Mu Jia, right?"
Mu Jia was stunned. It was indeed an unfamiliar voice. "Si Yan drank a little and is a little drunk. I'm worried about him driving. Can you come and pick him up?"
After saying that, as if he was afraid that she wouldn't go, he added, "It's too late, we can't find anyone else."
