Xie Yun half-closed his eyes and remained silent for a few seconds. When he looked up again, his eyes were deep: "Isn't this a good thing for Miss Qian?"
"Well, maybe in the past." Qian Duo's lips curved slightly, "But now, seeing Huo Minxuan living a comfortable life, I can't sleep or eat."
After hearing her say this, Xie Yun remained silent and expressionless.
"I wonder if Mr. Xie, with all his busy schedule, has ever read a certain type of novel?" Qian Duo continued, bringing up the topic again, "It's about a supporting character who can hear the protagonist's inner voice and thus change his fate."
“…”
Qian Duo lowered her voice and said, "I've been writing novels for many years, but I never imagined that I would be a character in a novel. Mr. Xie, isn't that amazing?"
Xie Yun's eyes moved, and a trace of emotion finally appeared on his face. He slowly said, "When I was very young, I had an idea."
"I'm all ears."
"Miss Qian, have you ever seen a crystal ball? If we infinitely scale up the region you and I live in, the country, the Earth, and even the universe, everything will eventually shrink to a crystal ball the size of a fist."
Qian Duo became excited and opened her mouth to speak, but Xie Yun continued speaking fluently.
"Then we are nothing more than a speck of dust in a crystal ball," Xie Yun said calmly, staring at the nonexistent speck of dust on the polished surface of his desk. "Do you know who will hold this crystal ball?"
"I..." Qian Duo wanted to make a sound, but she felt a lump in her throat, a stinging pain as if she had swallowed iron sand.
She swallowed and said with difficulty: "What do you know?"
Xie Yun smiled, but there was no trace of laughter in that smile. He finally said, "What you know, that's what I know."
Qian Duo walked out of the office in a daze, her ears buzzing.
For some reason, Xie Yun's words were like a cold wind blowing through the room, making her feel a chill that penetrated her bones.
However, this chill disappeared instantly when he saw Zhou Yucheng.
He and An Meng were sitting on the sofa in the lounge area. Seeing Qian Duo come out, Zhou Yucheng glanced at her from head to toe and said sarcastically, "What did you say to our Ah Yun for so long?"
"..." Qian Duo was feeling upset and glared at him angrily, "It's none of your business!"
Seeing that the two were not getting along, An Meng quickly stepped forward to save the situation: "It's noon now, Qian Duo, let's go have lunch together."
She turned her head again and said to Zhou Yucheng unhappily, "Could you please stop talking?"
Zhou Yucheng is the kind of guy who, even if you kick him a few times, you'd be afraid of him licking your feet.
[Ugh, so disgusting.]
Qian Duo trembled, revealing an indescribable expression, and glared at Zhou Yucheng fiercely.
Zhou Yucheng grinned with pride instead of shame, and said happily, "You guys going to eat? Count me in!"
I don’t know why, but when he saw Qian Duo angry, he felt inexplicably happy!
"Where's Xie Yun?" An Meng suddenly remembered something and asked Qian Duo, "Is he going to dinner?"
The chill she had felt earlier came back. Qian Duo rubbed her arms and pointed in the direction of the president's office.
In the president's office.
Lin Yiyi and Xie Yun were standing and sitting respectively, the former had a look of grievance on her face, and the latter had a blank expression.
"Mr. Xie, what happened just now is my responsibility." Lin Yiyi lowered her voice softly and looked at Xie Yun with watery eyes.
"What's wrong?"
Lin Yiyi peeked at Xie Yun's expression and carefully considered her words: "Just now, you were talking to Miss Qian, and An Meng wanted to barge in and disturb you. It was my fault that I didn't stop her."
"Hmm." Xie Yun's eyes had been glued to the display screen, and finally he shifted his gaze to look at her.
Lin Yiyi suddenly felt excited. She secretly tightened her abdomen and straightened her chest. She wanted to leave a good impression on Xie Yun!
"Is that so?" Xie Yun's gaze lingered for only a moment, as if he hadn't even looked at her, and she said, "This is indeed your responsibility."
Huh? Lin Yiyi bit her lip. Why did Xie Yun react like this?
She put on a pitiful expression and said weakly, "I'm sorry, Mr. Xie. It's...it's my fault. I will do better next time."
Xie Yun remained silent, turned off the computer, straightened his shirt, stood up, and walked over step by step.
The office was covered with neat carpets. Every step Xie Yun took was silent, yet every step seemed to be stepping on her heart.
The closer he got, the happier Lin Yiyi felt. In order to control her gradually emerging smile, she quickly lowered her head.
It seems that Xie Yun is very fond of this?
Here it comes, here it comes, what will he say?
Is it a gentle consolation? Or a few words of encouragement? Or...?
When Lin Yiyi was immersed in romantic fantasy and intoxicated, she heard the sound of a doorknob turning.
She turned her head suddenly and only had time to see half of Xie Yun's clothes vaguely remaining in her vision.
Lin Yiyi was stunned, digging her fingernails into her palms.
Half a second later, Xie Yun turned back and said lightly, "By the way, let her in directly next time."
After saying that, he closed the door and left without looking back.
An inexplicable feeling of shame and anger spread throughout Lin Yiyi's body. She gritted her teeth silently, her eyes almost piercing through the office door.
Xie Yun walked towards the elevator, his shirt sleeves loosely rolled up to his forearms, looking a bit more relaxed.
After walking a few steps, An Meng happened to come up to me and said, "I was just about to call you. Let's go have lunch together."
Xie Yun nodded: "Okay."
"But," he looked up, "are you sure those two can eat together?"
An Meng followed his gaze to the rest area. Zhou Yucheng was chattering about something, while Qian Duo looked down at her phone expressionlessly, not saying a word.
“…”
[I don’t know how they became like this.]
Fortunately, although Qian Duo disliked Zhou Yucheng very much, she gave face to An Meng. She ignored Zhou Yucheng and got into Xie Yun's car with An Meng awkwardly.
A few people came to a shopping mall not far from the company, ready to have a simple weekday meal.
The table they were sitting at was for four people. At Qian Duo's strong wish, Xie Yun and Zhou Yucheng sat on the same side, and she and An Meng sat on the same side.
After ordering the food, before he even sat down, Zhou Yucheng glanced around and suddenly got angry.
He said angrily: "Why is it her?"
"..." Qian Duo took a deep breath and turned her head to look over, still impatiently saying, "What are you..."
She suddenly stopped talking halfway through her words, staring at that direction motionlessly, with annoyance in her eyes.
Zhou Yucheng glanced at Qian Duo unintentionally, and his mood suddenly calmed down a lot.
Strangely enough, seeing that Qian Duo's reaction was even more intense than his, he became less angry and began to wonder why Qian Duo had such an expression.
An Meng looked up when she heard the voice and sighed silently. An almost helpless emotion emerged from the bottom of her heart, which was just as she expected.
[Oh my god, why are they here again? ]
On the front left, across the partition at the table, who else could be sitting face to face if not Lin Yiyi and Huo Minxuan?
