??Chapter 450: Little boy, do you want to be jealous too?
Lu Qingye felt that the atmosphere changed after he appeared. There was an indescribable strangeness, and a trace of doubt arose in his heart.
Meng Chuyuan didn't answer immediately. She looked up and glanced around, then asked casually, "Who is Director Xia's niece? Is she still in the company?"
Right from the start, Meng Chuyuan threw two topics at Lu Qingye, and asked him questions that confused him.
Lu Qingye was stunned for a moment, then answered without hesitation: "I don't know, I haven't noticed it."
Meng Chuyuan repeated his previous reply with a meaningful tone, "I haven't noticed... but you should know her, right? What does she look like?"
"..."Why is she suddenly interested in Director Xia's niece?
"I've seen her, but I don't really know her, and I don't have any impression of her." Lu Qingye stared at Meng Chuyuan's face for a long time, as if trying to get some information from her expression, but he couldn't see anything. "Why are you asking this suddenly?"
"I just heard that Director Xia wanted to match you with his niece and arrange for her to work with you, but you turned her down?" Meng Chuyuan looked up at him and said nonchalantly, "I was just curious about what that girl looked like. I actually lost to Assistant Yang."
After hearing what Meng Chuyuan said, Lu Qingye suddenly remembered and said bluntly: "It is true."
Lu Qingye felt his answer was too pale, so he added in detail: "HR recruited someone for me without my consent before, and I asked them to assign the person to another place..."
This shouldn't be considered matchmaking, right?
At most, he got a connection through the back door?
He didn't know how Meng Chuyuan understood it. In any case, Lu Qingye had not seen the new recruits, nor did he know which department these people were finally assigned to, let alone that Director Xia's niece was among them.
Lu Qingye seemed to suddenly realize something. He lowered his eyes to look at Meng Chuyuan, and said in a low voice with a hint of smile: "Are you jealous?"
"No." Meng Chuyuan muttered, "Why would I be jealous of a stranger..."
After a while, Meng Chuyuan asked again: "Since he is a colleague recruited normally, why don't you accept him? Is it because you like Assistant Yang more?"
Lu Qingye thought she was asking a normal question, so he didn't think too much about it. He said simply, "Assistant Yang is very capable. He can do the work of ten people. He's more than enough."
Meng Chuyuan: "No wonder they say Assistant Yang is your 'true love', it seems it's all true."
"What 'true love'?" A hint of surprise flashed across Lu Qingye's deep eyes, and he almost doubted his ears.
Meng Chuyuan looked at him with interest, his tone light and humorous: "Isn't Assistant Yang your 'true love'? For him, you can even refuse to take on new people."
"..." After Lu Qingye fell into silence for a while, a helpless smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He couldn't help but stretched out his hand to pinch her earlobe and whispered: "Little friend, you want to eat this jealousy too?"
"Hmm?" Meng Chuyuan was suddenly distracted by his deep, magnetic voice. She looked up and locked eyes with Lu Qingye. "I'm just curious... You're so busy with your work every day, yet you only have Assistant Yang by your side. And he's willing to give up a promotion and a raise for you. So, how much benefit are you giving him?"
Lu Qingye: "No benefits. As for promotion and salary increase... I gave him many opportunities, but he wanted to stay."
"There's one more thing." Meng Chuyuan looked at him calmly and asked curiously, "They said you got up early to work overtime at home a few days ago? How come I didn't know about this?"
Lu Qingye was stunned at first, but soon he remembered. He lowered his head and whispered in Meng Chuyuan's ear, "That morning when the sheets were changed."
Meng Chuyuan: “…”
