Song Mai deliberately turned her head to look, without making eye contact with anyone.
She simply assumed she was overthinking it and didn't take it to heart.
When I opened the door, I saw Chu Xing cooking.
He was wearing clothes printed with girlish patterns and skillfully flipped the rice spoon.
Despite the smoke and flames, he showed no signs of dishevelment; instead, he exuded a more... husbandly air.
When the word came to mind, Song Mai couldn't help but chuckle softly.
Chu Xing noticed that she had come home and calmly said, "You can eat after washing your hands."
Song Mai sat obediently at the dining table, waiting for Chu Xing's arrival. He straightened his back, and the plate in his hand, with its bulging veins, looked just like a fine piece of porcelain.
“I was in a meeting when you called me today. I didn’t want to disturb your work, so I didn’t call back.” Chu Xing handed the chopsticks to Song Mai.
After a moment of contemplation, Song Mai nodded softly: "I just saw someone at the company who looked a lot like you, and I thought it was you who came to our company."
Chu Xing understood immediately; it seemed his guess was correct—Song Mai had indeed seen him.
He pondered for a moment, then gently shook his head: "It would be wonderful if we could cooperate with your company."
These words completely dispelled Song Mai's idea. As a leading group, Yunxing had countless people who wanted to cooperate with it.
Chu Xing was just a small startup company, so naturally it had no chance to cooperate with Yun Xing.
Even so, Song Mai continued to comfort her, "Don't be discouraged. What if your company can grow to the size of Yunxing Group in the future?"
"It definitely will." Chu Xing's eyes were smiling, his words carrying a hidden meaning, but Song Mai didn't notice.
After finishing her meal, she collapsed onto the bed, too exhausted to get up.
"Would you like to go for a walk?" Chu Xing asked, standing by the door.
Seeing his good figure, which resembled the "double-door" type of figure mentioned on the internet, Song Mai couldn't help but take a few more glances.
"I don't want to move, I'll just lie down for a while." Song Mai stretched wearily, found a comfortable position, and continued looking at her phone.
Feeling enveloped by a dark shadow, Song Mai guiltily looked up.
Chu Xing looked down at her, silently asking with his eyes whether she had really thought it through.
Song Mai's heart skipped a beat, and she subconsciously said, "Go, I'll go right now."
Now that the weather is getting cooler, you won't feel stuffy wearing just a light jacket when you go out.
The two walked side by side in the park, and their handsome man and beautiful woman attracted the attention of many people.
Watching the family of three leave, Song Mai couldn't help but glance at them a few more times.
What's it like to take a walk with your parents?
Chu Xing was taken aback, glanced at her slightly worried expression, and asked in a low voice, "Are you in a bad mood?"
Song Mai shook her head and forced a smile: "No, it's probably because I was too stressed about the plan."
Chu Xing has also been paying attention to this issue recently, and it is indeed very tricky.
But this is a rare opportunity, and if Song Mai can successfully take it on, he is very likely to get a promotion.
She is exceptionally capable and shouldn't remain in her current position.
Chu Xing had absolutely no personal motives in promoting Song Mai; he sincerely hoped that Song Mai could gradually grow and develop.
Song Mai spoke in a low voice, looking troubled, "Actually, I don't know either. I just feel like I've hit a bottleneck and can't break through it no matter what I do."
Chu Xing pondered for a moment, then firmly took her hand: "Don't rush. Perhaps relaxing will give you a better idea."
Next, Song Mai and Chu Xing discussed the issues related to this project.
However, since confidential information cannot be disclosed, Song Mai only selected some details.
Chu Xing was already very familiar with the project, and he answered very carefully in order not to reveal his identity.
Nevertheless, Chu Xing still offered many suggestions, which Song Mai found very helpful.
The next day, Jifeng held another brief meeting to integrate everyone's proposals, carefully revise the details, and then send them to Q&W Company.
Unexpectedly, after receiving the proposal, the other party not only did not provide any feedback, but also expressed their intention to cancel the cooperation directly.
These words made everyone present gasp in shock, and the entire group was filled with unease upon hearing the news.
Song Mai was completely baffled. Logically speaking, the revised plan had no problems at all, and the team had even modified it to its best state.
"Song Mai, come out for a moment." Ji Fenghe knocked on the door without any hesitation, signaling Song Mai to come out.
The people present looked on with some surprise, and began to suspect that Song Mai had leaked the information.
With a serious expression, Ji Feng said directly, "Someone leaked our initial draft of the plan, most of which contained information from that side."
He paused for a moment, seemingly waiting for Song Mai's response.
Song Mai frowned and said in a low voice, "That's impossible!"
She made all her parts herself, so there couldn't possibly be any problems. Unless someone tampered with her computer and files, but no outsiders handled them at all.
"The issue now isn't about assigning blame, but about how to salvage the situation," Ji Feng said wearily, rubbing his temples. "I've read your copy, and there's nothing wrong with it. Your thinking is very clear, so I wanted to ask if you have a better approach?"
Song Mai shook her head: "Not for now, but I can work out the proposal before meeting with the client."
Upon hearing this, Ji Feng and Zan Xu nodded and continued to try to secure a meeting with the other company.
Su He cautiously approached and asked, "Why are you reacting so strongly to the other company? It's just that the published proposals are similar. Do you think they don't trust a company as big as ours?"
"For their first collaboration in the domestic market, they naturally hope for a smooth process, ideally without any issues. Even if we are a large company, it doesn't make any difference; they won't blindly believe in scale at the beginning."
This was also the most troublesome solution for Song Mai. Watching Ji Feng leave in a hurry while making a phone call, Song Mai felt a mix of emotions.
Chu Xing sighed helplessly when he learned of this.
Assistant Lu already understood his boss's meaning and cautiously asked, "Master Yun, should we meet with the person in charge of the other company now?"
"Alright, arrange it as soon as possible, so as not to delay the project's progress."
This is something that Ji Feng and others cannot resolve on their own; ultimately, they will need to step in and resolve it themselves.
However, all I can do is have a preliminary conversation; the rest still requires the efforts of Song Mai and others.
