Chapter 106 Chapter 106 Xia Li has been paying attention outside...
Charlie was watching the movements in the office from outside. It was quiet inside, without any quarrel or other sounds.
She waited until He Biyuan emerged. Xia Li found it odd. He had looked so downcast when he'd gone in, but now he'd emerged, his spirits had returned. He looked sad, but something in his eyes was different.
She didn't realize what it was, but she saw He Biyuan stop and say thank you when he passed by her, "Thank you for taking care of Wenying. I'm very grateful to you!"
Xia Li was stunned. Two curious people, Wang Yiling and Zhao Weixin, who were standing next to her in the factory office, also looked surprised.
After thanking them, He Biyuan walked towards his mother and aunt. Xia Li stood there, watching with cold eyes. He Biyuan seemed to say something to his mother and aunt, his attitude quite cold, but then their expressions suddenly changed drastically. Then, like obedient quails, they simply glanced in his direction and followed He Biyuan away without saying anything.
Xia Li had already prepared herself for a formidable foe, but before the battle even began, the enemy retreated, leaving her grumbling. What had He Biyuan said to the two men that had such a significant effect?
Later, Xia Li realized what was in He Biyuan's eyes: a kind of determination, a fighting spirit. She couldn't help but smack her lips. This person, as long as he has this, even if he falls into the mire, he can climb out again.
Who knows what the situation will be like next time I see this person!
Wen Ying stood in the room watching them leave. As they disappeared from her sight little by little, she pursed her lips and turned away.
…
Although the incident happened on their office floor, word quickly spread. It's unclear whether it was spread by the people who had been in the meeting earlier, or by someone in their office.
However, all the outsiders knew was that Director Wen's family had come over and seemed to make a fuss for a while, but there was nothing more to it. However, she had not expected Xie Kan to ask her about such a thing.
In the afternoon, she delivered something to someone and passed by his office when Xie Kan chased her out and called out, "Xia Li, wait a minute!"
Xia Li was surprised and turned around. "Deputy Director Xie, you called me?"
Xie Kan walked over with his hands in his pockets and a kind smile on his face, "Are you here to deliver something?" He raised his chin and pointed to the office at the back.
Charlie looked at him and nodded.
Did Xie Kan suddenly think of something, stopping her to ask something? Xia Li was prepared.
Xie Kan looked at the girl's puzzled face and laughed. "Okay, don't be nervous. I called you to ask you something." He paused, thinking for a moment before speaking again, "I want to ask, is your factory director okay?"
Xia Li took a breath and said, "Deputy Director Xie, you also know this?" It's true that good news doesn't travel far, but bad news travels a thousand miles!
Xie Kan nodded, "Is Wenying okay? I heard there was quite a commotion. Did her in-laws come?"
Xia Li smiled bitterly and hummed, but she didn't know if it was her illusion, but she seemed to hear a cold sneer. She looked up and saw Xie Kan with his head slightly lowered, a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.
Xia Li looked at Xie Kan in confusion until Xie Kan waved his hand at her, "Alright, it's okay, I just asked, go do whatever you want!"
Xia Li nodded hesitantly, and watched Xie Kan turn around and go back to his office. She was still confused.
It was winter, and it got dark early, sometimes around five or six. After work, Wen Ying took a walk outside before returning to her office.
There was dinner in the cafeteria, but she didn't go. She went back to the office, got some hot water, and took out a bag of instant noodles to make do.
This kind of food is very convenient. Sometimes when she's hungry and doesn't have time to go to the cafeteria, she can just eat a bag of it to fill her stomach. If she's still hungry, she can just eat some steamed buns or bread and biscuits to replenish her hunger. She has never had any requirements for food, as long as she can fill her stomach, so she doesn't think it's a big deal.
If Xia Li knew that the instant food she had dragged Wen Ying to buy had set a bad precedent for the factory manager she respected, she would have regretted it. She could have easily cooked some porridge or noodles on the alcohol stove outside the office, but she didn't want to do that now.
She just poured hot water on the noodles and put the lunch box on the coffee table, then went to make the bedding and pillows.
Looking at the sleeping equipment on the sofa, Wen Ying felt that what He Biyuan said was indeed true. No matter what, one could not live in the office for long.
She was waiting for the noodles to be ready when she suddenly heard footsteps coming from the corridor. The sound was particularly obvious in the building at dusk.
Wen Ying was startled and immediately stood up from the sofa. Her heart was beating extremely fast, as if it was about to burst out of her chest. Her mind was also buzzing, and for a few seconds she seemed unable to think.
After calming down, Wen Ying rushed to the door and locked it from the inside with a click. She had always locked it when she was sleeping before, and had never thought about encountering any danger in the factory.
After the door was locked, Wen Ying looked around her office again, looking for tools to defend herself.
Her eyes lit up when she saw the pointed umbrella leaning against the wall. After she held the object in her hand, her heart stopped beating as fast as it had at the beginning.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and the owner of the voice didn't seem to care at all whether the sound was heard or not, and was fearless.
Wen Ying looked at the lights in the room, hesitated, and ultimately chose not to turn them off. She was more afraid of the dark than the danger that was so close to her.
The small desk lamp on her desk was not bright enough to illuminate the entire office, but the large ceiling lamp was too bright. So Wen Ying always turned on the small desk lamp when she was in the office every night. It was enough for her to work or do things in the room.
At this moment, she stood at a certain distance from the door, holding the umbrella tightly in her hand, staring at the office door without moving, as if facing a great enemy.
Finally, the voice stopped in front of her door, and Wen Ying heard it clearly.
"Bang, bang!" There were two knocks on the door.
Wen Ying took a deep breath and said nothing.
The person outside the door seemed to be playing a prank and didn't say anything. He just paused for about ten seconds, and then there were two more "bang bang" sounds.
Just when the people inside seemed to be truly frightened, a sound was heard from outside the door.
"It's me, Wenying, open the door!" a male voice said.
Wen Ying, however, went from being incredulous at first to relieved and then furious after hearing the voice. She looked towards the door fiercely, as if angrily looking at the person standing outside, and said angrily, "Go away, I need to rest!"
A chuckle came from outside the door, "Really? If you don't open the door, I will stay with you at the door and won't leave tonight." He was playing tricks and insisted on going in.
Wen Ying was furious in the room. Why was this person so shameless now? He had never been like this before. She stood in a stalemate with him in the room for a while, thinking that if she didn't move, he would understand her intentions. But Wen Ying was obviously wrong. There was no sound at the door. She didn't know if the person was still outside or had quietly left.
She waited for a while, then decided to quietly open the door and take a look. She put down her umbrella, leaving it where it was, and went to open the door again. As soon as she opened the door, the light from the room shone out, and she saw someone leaning against the window at the door to her office in the corridor. Even though they were standing there, they had a kind of bored and lazy air about them.
The person outside the door stared at her closely the moment she opened the door and showed her face. Their eyes met, and Wen Ying quickly looked away, then back at her. "What are you doing here? Are you trying to scare people?"
Xie Kan still had a provocative smile on his face. He pushed Wen Ying aside and walked into her office, saying as he walked, "Who is someone else? Are you someone else?" He looked around with a very casual attitude, as if this was his living room.
"I didn't know you were living in the office? What happened? Did you have a fight with that good-for-nothing husband of yours? Let me just say, your vision is really bad. Even if you didn't choose me, you shouldn't be with someone like that." As he said this, a trace of regret flashed across his face.
Wen Ying didn't respond. Looking at the person wandering around in her office, she said directly, "You've seen it all. I'm fine here. Don't worry. You should go back and rest."
Xie Kan turned to look at Wen Ying and said deliberately, "Are you overthinking it? Who said I came here just to care about you? I can't be here to see a joke. You're the head of a factory, but you've fallen to the point of being homeless. Who would believe you if you told others about it?"
Suddenly, he saw something and went over to open it. "Oh! These are instant noodles. I didn't have enough for dinner. In that case, I'll take them!" After saying that, he walked to her bed and sat down. Then he picked up the chopsticks on the table, picked up the noodles and started eating.
"It's a bit too chewy!" he commented while eating.
Wen Ying thought to herself, if you hadn't suddenly appeared, I would have eaten it long ago. Also, those are her chopsticks. She wanted to remind him, but she kept it to herself. Watching him eat with such relish, she felt a little sick to her stomach.
She has always been unable to withstand Xie Kan, and there was no surprise today.
Wen Ying didn't say anything, but silently poured him a cup of hot water and placed it on the table, then looked at him quietly.
"Xie Kan, go back and rest early after eating!"
