Su Yan and Liu Beibei had just entered the elevator chatting and laughing when two heads popped out from the office around the corner.
"She's gone, hasn't she?" Yi An asked cautiously to confirm.
Zhao Bo swaggered out, glanced around the empty company, and said irritably, "I'm leaving!"
His voice echoed throughout the vast company.
"You're so scared by Su Yan? Do you still want to complete the mission and bring her to Ms. Meng?"
Yi An straightened up and walked out slowly.
"Can't you let me catch my breath? Her aggression is too much for me to handle."
"Time waits for no one. If we wait any longer, we'll be exposed!" Zhao Bo said urgently.
He thought for a moment and then had an idea.
"How about this: tomorrow after get off work, we'll ambush her in the parking lot downstairs and reenact that hero-saves-the-damsel-in-distress scene from five years ago, okay?"
Looking into his sparkling eyes, Yi An asked hesitantly, "Will this work?"
"Why not!" Zhao Bo retorted excitedly, bumping his shoulder with enthusiasm. "Just you wait and see!"
Exhausted, Su Yan collapsed onto the sofa upon returning home.
She closed her eyes, and the thought of Yi An's indifferent attitude towards her during the day made her feel strange.
This is so strange!
On the day of the power outage, she took the initiative to make contact with him, and he reacted well at the time, but afterwards he acted as if nothing had happened, leaving her no chance to make contact again.
She had never met a man whose mood changed so quickly.
Just as she was getting agitated, her phone suddenly rang.
Su Yan was too lazy to open her eyes again. She fumbled for her phone and put it to her ear.
She had barely said "hello" when a calm male voice came from the other end of the phone.
“Qiong”.
The form of address is also a simple one-word word.
Su Yan suddenly opened her eyes. She glanced at her phone, and the screen displayed an international number.
"Jason? Why are you using this number?"
"My phone was recently stolen, so I'm using a different number to contact you."
The voice on the other end of the phone remained calm and composed, as if talking about someone else's business.
Su Yan was used to this; her collaboration with Jason was accidental, but they unexpectedly clicked.
After spending several years together, we have a thorough understanding of each other's personalities and temperaments.
Jason is an emotionally detached person; nothing can stir his emotions. In the years she has worked with him, she has never seen him lose his composure.
"What's up with your call?" Su Yan asked.
Although they are good partners at work, they are not close in personal life, and they don't even exchange holiday greetings.
"Qiong, YiKoo Technology has sent an invitation to collaborate with you. I have already sent the detailed project proposal to your email."
Jason's reports were always concise and clear, without uttering a single unnecessary word.
Su Yan had already heard about this matter from Yi An and Zhao Bo's conversation at the company today.
Without thinking, she said, "Let's cancel it. I don't want to cooperate with them."
After he finished speaking, there was silence on the other end of the phone.
About five seconds later, Jason's voice came through again.
"good."
That's just the kind of person he is; even if he's curious about the answer, he never wastes a single word asking another question.
His life motto was probably that the more you know, the faster you die.
Su Yan hung up the phone and remained sitting there motionless.
It wasn't that she didn't want to make this puzzle game; on the contrary, when she saw the project proposal, a sense of urgency suddenly arose in her heart.
She was eager to win the project, not only because the puzzle game would be helpful to Xiaoyu, but also because it would be of the same benefit to her own career.
Five years ago, she burst onto the scene by chance with the name Joan and won a significant award.
However, such a high starting point meant that she never encountered better creative inspiration after that one creation.
In addition, she has been busy looking for Chenchen for the past two years and has had no time to create anything.
Her two-year creative hiatus led to a lot of criticism.
There are countless comments online about her lack of ability, with some even saying that she has no talent at all and that she won the award entirely by ghostwriting.
Many envious people are standing on tiptoe, reaching out their hands, hoping to take this opportunity to completely pull her down from her pedestal.
Therefore, she urgently needs cooperation more than Yiku Technology right now.
Su Yan slowly stood up, walked to the study, picked up a pen, and sketched a rough shape on a piece of white paper.
The full moon outside the window cast a soft glow, hanging quietly in the night sky.
The next morning, when Su Yan went to work, she saw Lin Hui before she even got off the elevator.
Lin Hui stood outside the elevator, as if she was intentionally waiting for her arrival.
Su Yan pulled her foot back after she had just moved it.
"From now on, I will be working at Yiku Technology."
Lin Hui said this with a smug look on her face, a triumphant smile on her lips.
"I hope we can get along well in the future."
She emphasized the word "harmony".
It may sound like harmony, but in reality, chaos is sure to follow.
Lin Hui never waited for others to speak; she only said what she wanted to say. Once she had said what she wanted to say, she turned and left without any hesitation.
Before leaving, he left Su Yan with a parting remark.
"By the way, I asked Brother An for you, and he agreed without hesitation. Pack your things and get over here right now."
Su Yan watched her leave quietly, her eyes showing no emotion whatsoever.
The elevator doors closed automatically because no one had entered or exited for a long time.
Just as the elevator doors were about to close one last crack, Su Yan pressed the elevator button with a "snap".
She walked straight to her workstation in her high heels, her footsteps clicking.
"Sister Yan, you're here!"
Liu Beibei had just greeted her with a smile when she saw her dart past like a gust of wind.
"What's wrong? Why are you so unhappy first thing in the morning?"
Su Yan walked to her workstation and, without even sitting down, immediately began to tidy up her things efficiently.
Whether intentionally or unintentionally, the things in her hands always bumped against the table, making a jarring sound.
This naturally alerted Yi'an in the office.
Yi An opened the door a crack and peeked out, only to see Su Yan's back.
He hesitated for a moment, then coughed lightly and came out.
Su Yan didn't even glance at him, and continued packing her things.
"Um...I..."
Just as Yi An was about to speak, Su Yan suddenly slammed the documents on the table, startling Yi An so much that she stumbled and almost fell.
Su Yan slowly turned around and bowed respectfully to him.
"Thank you, Mr. Yi, for arranging this new position for me."
She emphasized the words "new position" very heavily.
Before Yi An could react, Su Yan grabbed the documents and left.
Yi An stood there dumbfounded, still confused. "Did you take gunpowder?"
