We finally arrived at the pedestrian street.
Li Baobei quickly got out of the car and ran towards the intersection. He Ji was undoubtedly the most dazzling presence in the crowd. She casually glanced around and spotted his figure in the crowd.
Today she wore a fitted dress, with a pencil skirt that perfectly showcased her graceful figure.
Paired with a fluffy bun and black Martin boots, she exudes a casual yet stylish vibe.
"Sorry, there was a bit of traffic on the way." She ran up to He Ji, panting, and quickly explained.
He Ji replied softly with a faint smile on his face, "It's nothing, I just arrived too."
Throughout the hot pot meal, Li Baobei felt that He Ji barely touched his chopsticks. She would occasionally put a piece of food in his bowl, and only then would He Ji move his mouth.
He really doesn't like to eat much.
The two walked side by side down the street, and passersby frequently turned to look at them.
She looked down at her and He Ji's clothes; the colors matched perfectly, making them look like couple outfits.
She asked softly, "He Ji, is there any food you particularly like to eat?"
He Ji said in a very soft voice, "I don't have any particular favorite foods."
"Oh, I see!" Li Baobei looked at the ground and walked forward step by step.
"You must eat more to stay healthy! Tell me what you want to eat next time, and I'll treat you!" She looked up and met He Ji's gaze, and the two stopped in their tracks.
"Mmm." His Adam's apple bobbed slightly as he answered in a low, husky voice, and at that moment, it seemed as if the two of them could hear each other's heartbeats.
Li Baobei quickly pulled herself back to reality and said, "It's getting late, I'll head back now."
Haha~
He Ji slowly said, "I'll take you back. Wait for me."
Li Baobei gazed at He Ji's beautiful eyes, somewhat mesmerized, and replied dreamily, "Okay~"
A short while later, He Ji drove Li Baobei back to her apartment.
That night, she felt so excited that she almost couldn't sleep.
Li Baobei stared at the ceiling, her mind filled with He Ji's face. "Manager He is such a kind person."
Whoever is his girlfriend is going to be incredibly lucky.
"Li Baobei, don't you like him?"
"like."
"Then why can't you do it?"
"How... how could he possibly be interested in me? This is a bit outrageous."
"Why is it impossible? Anything is possible, and love can overcome everything."
"Yeah?"
Li Baobei stared at the ceiling light, lost in thought, "He... probably doesn't like me..."
"Sigh~" She sighed, all the sadness in her heart suddenly overflowing. "A toad trying to eat swan meat, Li Bao, stop thinking about it and go to sleep!"
"What time is it now?" She reached for her phone and looked at it. "Ah~ 1:13 AM, oh no~ I'm definitely going to have dark circles under my eyes tomorrow, time to sleep."
She quickly turned off the light. "Goodnight, Makka Pakka~"
the next day.
Li Baobei walked towards the company looking a little tired, and just as she entered, she saw that the elevator doors had just closed.
"Wait a minute~"
The elevator doors had already closed, and Li Baobei thought she would have to wait for the next one, but suddenly the closed doors opened again.
"Thank you, thank you~", she hurriedly ran inside, only to find that there was only one person in the elevator.
"He Ji!" Li Baobei felt all her muscles tense up; she became nervous as soon as she saw He You.
She said awkwardly, "Good morning, Manager He."
He Ji's expression remained unchanged, and his tone was indifferent: "Good morning."
The atmosphere around them was incredibly awkward.
He Ji broke the silence: "We'll work out the case I gave you at the morning meeting today, and I'd like to hear your proposal."
“Okay, Manager He.” Li Baobei nodded.
Ding dong~
The elevator finally opened, and He Ji walked out with a straight posture, followed closely by Li Baobei.
She turned on her computer and found that it had indeed been opened before. She couldn't help but shake her head, pretending nothing had happened, and continued to organize her files.
I can't help but sigh: Ah, humanity!
Wu Juan glanced confidently at Li Baobei, and Xiao Mei slid her chair next to her, whispering, "No problem today, right, Wu Juan?"
Wu Juan smiled excitedly, "Of course, I'll go up and explain first when we discuss the plan. When Li Baobei sees that her plan is the same as mine, let's see if she still has the same expression."
"hehe!"
"I'm determined to be the group leader."
Xiao Mei quickly flattered, "Don't forget me then."
Wu Juan eagerly took Xiao Mei's hand and affirmed, "Of course."
The morning meeting began as scheduled.
Li Baobei sat in her seat looking at the plan on the tablet, while He Ji sat in the main seat with a cold expression.
She stood up abruptly, cleared her throat, and said forcefully, "I don't want to comment too much on the recent rumors about the company. I just hope the rumors will stop here."
The meeting suddenly fell silent.
She turned to He Ji and said, "Manager He, regarding the case you gave me last time, my colleague Wu Juan and I plan to each take it based on our own abilities."
"If I am indeed incompetent, I will step down as group leader without hesitation."
He Ji looked at Li Baobei with a playful expression, secretly thinking, "The little white rabbit is about to bite, but it looks kind of cute~"
A faint smile played at the corners of his lips as he casually said, "Okay."
Li Baobei turned to look at Wu Juan, her tone indifferent: "Who goes first?"
"I'll go first!" Wu Juan quickly stood up and connected her Bluetooth to the big screen.
