Chapter 35 You Have No Right to Restrict Me
Clearly, he wasn't willing to show her around his friends. Was it because he thought it was too much trouble? Or was he worried that her appearance wouldn't be good enough and his friends would laugh at her? Or maybe he simply didn't take her seriously and didn't think there was any need to introduce her to his friends?
"What's wrong? Are you okay?" Qing Muxue was slightly surprised to see Su Xiao staring blankly.
"Oh, it's okay. Mr. Yun... is very cold in the company, and we are all afraid of him." Su Xiao responded.
Seeing this, Qing Muxue didn't think much of it and smiled, "He's a person who's cold on the outside but warm on the inside. In front of people he doesn't know well, he might appear very cool and cold, but once you get to know him, you don't have to worry about that. Especially if you fall in love with him, his sweet tenderness can drown you."
Fall in love with him?
Su Xiao stared blankly at Qing Muxue again, feeling as if these words hinted at something. Had he ever loved anyone before? Otherwise, why would Qing Muxue say this? Who was that woman he had loved before? Qing Muxue?
But not like that.
"Haha, let's not talk about him. Just do your job in the company and don't provoke him. I see you work very hard, so you shouldn't worry. But if there are any promotion opportunities in your work in the future, just tell me and I will help you establish a relationship with him!" Suddenly, Qing Muxue spoke again.
Su Xiao also smiled and gave him a grateful look.
Since she could see that Yun Che didn't want anyone to know about her relationship with him, she gave up the idea of telling Qing Muxue.
The topic then turned to other things until it was almost time to go to work and everyone parted ways.
Su Xiao was no longer able to calm down and couldn't concentrate on her work. She kept thinking about Yun Che's attitude towards her today.
"Xiao, are you okay?" Xu Ning couldn't help but show concern when he saw Su Xiao so energetic this morning. "Are you feeling unwell again? Or are you feeling stressed because of the grouping incident just now?"
Just now, Zhang Yinyin called everyone to a meeting and divided them into two groups for the new season's product design. Group A was headed by Zhang Yinyin, along with several senior designers and He Yisan, while Group B included Lin Zhenhua, Su Xiao, Xu Ning and others.
Su Xiao was calm and said with a smile, "No, I was thinking about other things."
"Really? Great!" Xu Ning smiled reassuringly. "Don't worry. Although Zhang Yinyin holds a higher position, we have Manager Lin, who is no ordinary person can defeat. Anyway, our team is guaranteed to win this month's bonus!"
Speak of Cao Cao and he will appear.
Lin Zhenhua walked over and handed Su Xiao two coupons with a smile, "Are you free tomorrow at noon? Let's go eat together?"
Su Xiao looked at the coupon and was shocked.
Xu Ning couldn't wait to say, "Of course she's free. Xiaoxiao usually eats lunch in the cafeteria."
How could Su Xiao not know Xu Ning's little thoughts? She was really annoyed and helpless.
She didn't want to go, so she mustered up her courage and declined, "Thank you, Manager Lin, but..."
"But what? Xiaoxiao, you don't want to go, do you? This Italian restaurant is newly opened and business is booming. The food is super delicious." Xu Ning said quickly.
Well, since you think it’s so good, why not let you go?
Su Xiao was just about to say this to Xu Ning.
"How about you two go?" Lin Zhenhua suddenly said.
Su Xiao and Xu Ning were both stunned.
Xu Ning immediately said, "No, no, thank you, Manager Lin. I'm busy tomorrow. I have a dinner date with a classmate."
Su Xiao knew that this was just Xu Ning's excuse, but she couldn't expose it on the spot, as she couldn't lose face for Lin Zhenhua.
"Okay, Xiaoxiao, since Manager Lin is so sincere, you should go eat with him. We can talk about work in a quiet place without having to worry about Team B eavesdropping. Manager Lin, our team's bonus this month depends on you!"
It was hard to refuse his enthusiasm, and she was not sure whether Lin Zhenhua had any ulterior motives. Perhaps he was just being considerate to his subordinates and wanted to talk to her about the plan. So Su Xiao stopped refusing and made an appointment to have lunch tomorrow at noon.
At the same time, Yun Che discussed the results of the art exhibition with Qing Muxue in the office.
Yun Che only then learned that Zhao Ziying's painting "The Only One" had been sold.
"This painting means a lot to Yingying. I originally wanted to use it to lure her out, but unfortunately, after so many days, she still hasn't made any move. Could it be that she is really willing to let go of this relationship? But I still don't believe it." Qing Muxue had been secretly observing Yun Che.
In fact, this painting is not only meaningful to Zhao Ziying, but also to Yun Che. She deliberately sold the painting not only to lure Zhao Ziying out, but also to draw out Yun Che's care.
It was wrong for Yingying to leave, but if Yun Che could humble himself and work harder to find her, he would definitely be able to get her back. After all, Yun Che was feeling pent up and didn't want to give in first. A male chauvinist and overbearing CEO like him wanted a woman who would always be docile and obedient, centered around him.
So, if she doesn't work harder, who knows when they will be together!
“Who did you sell the painting to?” Yun Che asked after a while.
Qing Muxue hesitated for a moment and said, "You know the girl who had lunch with me today? She's the one who dropped her birth control pill last time."
Yun Che’s eyes froze instantly.
"A friend of hers bought this painting and gave it to her!" Qing Muxue said to herself, "Come to think of it, she looks quite similar to the person in the painting. She looks a bit like Yingying."
Yun Che remained frozen in silence.
The painting actually fell into her hands?
The person who gave it to her should be Jiang Xueman.
But...why would she accept it?
Yun Che couldn't help but think of what Su Xiao had questioned Xiao Nishang, and what she had asked Ming Li.
Wondering if she knew something and what she was going to do.
"What's more, they're all actually fans of Yingying. They really like and admire her, and they even asked me to introduce her to them if I had the chance." Qing Muxue finally realized that something was wrong with Yun Che and wondered, "What's wrong with you? Are you still angry about me selling the painting on my own initiative? But you know what I was thinking. Don't worry, I sold it to her so I could redeem it in the future. It's a good opportunity to take advantage of them. Now, as long as Yingying can show up, Ah Che, go find her. With your connections and abilities, you'll definitely be able to find her. One of you has to give in. From your reaction just now, I know you still love her and care about her."
Yun Che never responded to Qing Muxue's words. After Qing Muxue left, he called Su Xiao up.
Su Xiao wondered if Qing Muxue had told her something. She felt uneasy. Looking at his handsome face, which showed some depth, she subconsciously explained, "I dated Miss Muxue because I thought she was a very nice person. I like her very much. It has nothing to do with you. I didn't tell her about our relationship."
Yun Che naturally knew this, otherwise Qing Muxue would have jumped up long ago.
He continued to study him thoughtfully, then gave a direct order, "Don't contact her again. Even if she asks you out, turn her down."
Su Xiao was shocked, and a trace of pain flashed across her eyes.
Not only because I couldn't bear to lose such a precious friend like Qing Muxue, but also because...
She tried to argue, "If you're worried that our relationship will be leaked, I can assure you that I really won't tell anyone."
“Don’t you have a very good friend named Jiang? It won’t do you any good if you’re with Qing Muxue!” Yun Che interrupted her without any hesitation.
"But..." Su Xiao felt even more depressed, with a hint of anger in her voice. "Boss Yun, I know about our deal. I've always followed the rules and tried my best to cooperate with you, but I feel that I have the freedom to make friends, and you have no right to restrict me."
After she finished speaking, she looked at him bravely, only to see that his expression became even more gloomy, his lips were tightly pursed, and he exuded an air of anger.
