When Su Yan finished washing her hands and returned, the two female employees immediately looked away, appearing extremely guilty.
Su Yan ignored them and returned to her seat, eating in silence.
Beneath the surface of cheerfulness, this meal, in which everyone harbored their own ulterior motives, was finally over.
Yi'an drank a few cups, her face became somewhat flushed, and her steps became a little unsteady.
He let Su Yan support him, and wouldn't switch places with anyone else.
"Xiao Su, I'll give you a ride home on my way, so you won't have to bother taking a taxi."
After saying this, he didn't give Su Yan a chance to refuse and turned to chat enthusiastically with the person next to him.
He Ziming, watching anxiously from the side, interjected, "Chairman Yi, I don't have a car either. Why don't you give me a ride home on your way?"
He was clearly trying to interfere, and Yi'an was not about to let him get away with it.
Yi An casually pulled out a red bill and stuffed it into his pocket, as if giving it to a beggar.
"Mr. He has spent money today, so take this money for a taxi and keep the change."
After dismissing He Zimo, he turned around and pulled Su Yan into the car.
Su Yan gazed at He Yao in the crowd through the glass, her eyes filled with reluctance and unwillingness.
He Yao felt a sudden tightness in his chest when he saw that look.
Su Yan sighed helplessly, slowly withdrew her gaze, lowered her head, and looked resigned to her fate.
As He Ziming's face gradually turned pale, the car drove away steadily.
Those who wanted to curry favor immediately sidled up to him.
"Mr. He, I have a car, would you like me to take you home?"
He originally thought that by being so attentive, he could win He Zimo's favor, but who knew that he would infuriate He Zimo.
He Ziming didn't even turn his head, just uttered a harsh "Get lost!"
The man had no choice but to leave, looking dejected.
Su Yan sat in the back seat, looking at the crowd behind her, which had become tiny specks, through the rearview mirror. The timidity on her face gradually faded.
"Mr. Yi, you really put on a great show for me today!"
Yi'an, who was reclining in the car seat and resting with her eyes closed, smiled when she heard the praise.
"It's still far from meeting my expectations."
Yi An's actions tonight have already drawn a lot of hatred from Su Yan. If he continues to perform normally, she probably won't even be able to get into Chengyan Technology tomorrow.
Su Yan felt a sudden surge of anger for no reason. She straightened up and turned to look at Yi An.
"When you were little, was Mr. Yi the kind of mischievous troublemaker who needed to be disciplined?"
How do you know?
Su Yan sneered, "Otherwise, why would President Yi deliberately ruin people's futures?"
Yi An was taken aback for a moment, then smiled.
He slowly opened his eyes, and the confusion within them gradually cleared.
“That’s a really harsh way to put it,” Yi An corrected innocently. “How could I be ruining someone’s future? I’m clearly saving another victim from dire straits.”
Su Yan looked at these words with utter disdain.
Compared to the girl still lying unconscious in the hospital, who can truly be considered the victim?
"Mr. Yi, you're really quite noble!" she praised sarcastically.
Yi An: "However, I am indeed very curious, who is the victim this time?"
He stroked his chin, thought for a while, and a strange light shone in his eyes.
"Is it He Zimo?" he guessed with a smile.
Su Yan didn't answer his question, but said, "What? Is there some special relationship between President Yi and President He that we don't know about? Otherwise, why are you so concerned about him?"
“We’re just competitors in the tech industry.” Yi An shrugged, speaking casually. “If it really is him, I’ll have to think it over again whether to help you or him. But it seems neither of us can make me happy.”
As Su Yan watched the car slowly drive into the underground parking garage, she packed her bag, turned around, and prepared to get out of the car.
The moment she opened the car door, she turned to Yi An and said, "President Yi, please rest assured, it won't be you. After all, I won't do disgusting things a second time, and I won't touch disgusting people a second time either."
After she finished speaking, she got out of the car decisively and slammed the door shut with a loud bang.
Yi An paused for a moment, then a cryptic smile crept onto her face.
He quickly pushed open the door, got out of the car, and ran a few steps after her retreating figure.
"Can I take this as you playing hard to get?"
Without turning her head, Su Yan corrected, "No, you're just being presumptuous."
Yi An slowly stopped, gazing at her receding figure as she walked away.
Just as she was about to step into the elevator, he suddenly called out loudly, "Su Yan!"
Su Yan turned to look at him, waiting silently for him to continue.
Yi An's lips curved into a smile, but her words remained as irreverent as ever.
"I've thought about it carefully. Why don't you just come and torment me instead? We can torment each other..."
Before Yi An could finish speaking, Su Yan showed no respect, turned around, entered the elevator, and quickly pressed the close button.
As the elevator doors slowly closed, Yi An grew anxious and shouted, "Su Yan! With me here, I won't let you succeed!"
Whether Su Yan heard those harsh words or not, they echoed several times in the underground parking garage.
Yi An raised her hand to touch her head, then lowered her head to seriously reflect: "Was what I said just now a little silly?"
Inside the elevator, as Su Yan watched the numbers change, her tightly clenched lips suddenly relaxed and began to slowly curve upwards.
"What an idiot. With this, he thinks he can fool young girls?"
After last night's shouting, Su Yan became much more vigilant, fearing that Yi An might do something else that would make her attract too much hatred and make it impossible for her to stay at the company.
But to his surprise, Yi An remained unusually quiet for the entire morning, and was unable to even meet Su Yan.
If a meeting room needs to be prepared, Zhao Bo will act as the intermediary to relay the message.
Su Yan had no idea what he was up to.
She thought for a long time but couldn't come up with anything that could be purposeful, and was completely confused. Then she realized that she was overthinking things and seeing threats everywhere.
She lowered her head, gave a self-deprecating laugh, and got up to go to the office to ask someone about the people in the meeting room.
The female staff member in charge of arranging the meeting room was taken aback when she heard Su Yan specify the large meeting room she wanted, and then opened her mouth to refuse.
"That conference room..."
Before she could finish speaking, another female employee next to her grabbed her arm and frantically tried to wink at her.
"ah?"
Before she could react, another female employee smiled broadly at Su Yan and said, "Yes, yes, yes, I've got it. Get everything ready for Chairman Yi right away!"
