C37 Chapter 37: A guilty conscience like a thief

After Lu Yao worked for a while, Boss Ji called Lu Yao. Lu Yao looked at Tiantian who was sitting on the sofa in the distance. She stood up and walked over, then squatted down and looked at her. Lu Yao gently asked, "Auntie is going out. Do you want to play here or go with Auntie?"

Tiantian blinked his eyes, turned around and climbed down the sofa, pulling at her clothes.

Lu Yao smiled and patted her head. "Alright, let's go together."

Lu Yao held her hand and went to the CEO's office. Seeing this, Boss Ji looked at her suspiciously, "This?"

"I'm sorry Boss Ji, this is my friend's child …" Lu Yao narrated the situation of Tiantian to him.

Boss Ji nodded in understanding before gesturing for her to sit down: "The Long Teng branch here has basically been completed, and will start operating soon. In a while, the representatives of the company will come visit, please help me receive them."

Lu Yao was stunned. So fast?

She paused, feigning nonchalance. "Do you know who their representatives are?"

A branch, shouldn't let the boss personally go into action.

Boss Ji laughed meaninglessly, "They should be just some department heads, that's why I told you to go. If it's anyone important, I will go up on stage myself." It's not a big deal, just treat them to a meal at noon. "

Eating?

Isn't that just socializing? It was fine if there were fewer people, but if there were more, they would have to drink alcohol. Furthermore, there were children by her side.

"Boss Ji, look at me …" She looked down at Tiantian with a little bit of difficulty, then said with a conflicted tone: "How about, I arrange for a few people from the department to receive them?"

Boss Ji looked at her, then looked at her cute and obedient little girl, thinking about it and nodded, "That's fine, you go and make the arrangements, you must definitely treat them well, don't be negligent."

"Alright." Lu Yao heaved a sigh of relief, then asked with a smile, "When will they arrive?"

Boss Ji turned his head to look outside the window and said indifferently: "It should be around this time, right? "It's not far, it's just across the street. It won't take more than a few minutes."

"…"

Lu Yao's body stiffened. Her mind went blank, thinking that she had misheard. She looked at Boss Ji in a daze: "You said that they are at the other side?"

She turned her eyes slowly to the building opposite the window, her heart pounding.

Their branch office is in the building opposite?

The Boss Ji did not notice her abnormality and laughed as he walked to the window, pointing to the same floor on the opposite side, and said: "What a coincidence, Long Teng Branch is on the opposite side of the building, and it's on the same floor. If you have a better eyesight, you should be able to see them, but I can't see anything with my short vision."

Lu Yao's gaze followed his gaze. Her smile was stiff and her eyes were deep and complicated.

Did Shao Yunchen do this on purpose or not?

Did he make that call last night, or did it have anything to do with it?

"Alright, you can go and make the arrangements first." Boss Ji waved her hand.

"Mm. Alright." Lu Yao held back her expression and led Tiantian out of the CEO's office.

When she returned to her office, she stood by the window and looked at the building opposite with a slightly absent-minded expression.

Suddenly, the curtain of the room opposite her office slowly moved up. In front of the huge French window, a slender figure stood completely exposed in her field of vision. It was like an actor in the middle of a stage, which made her feel unreal.

She snapped out of her daze and blinked her eyes. When she confirmed that he wasn't an illusion, she subconsciously bit her lips.

She was sure now that the man was doing it on purpose.

Shao Yunchen stood motionlessly in the distance. He had one hand in the pocket of his suit, and his demeanor was reserved and steady. His expression was a little cloudy from the distance, but all she could be sure of was that he was also looking at her. And he seemed to already know where her office was.

The more Lu Yao thought about it, the more her heart beat faster. She picked up her phone and called him without hesitation.

The bell rang for a few seconds. From two buildings away, she clearly saw the man take out his phone from his pocket and place it beside his ear. His handsome face was still facing her direction.

"Hello." A deep, calm voice.

"Shao Yunchen, what do you mean?" Lu Yao asked angrily.

"What do you mean?"

"Don't pretend you don't know. Why did you open your branch here? "Don't f * cking tell me it's just a coincidence."

Shao Yunchen heard her curse, but he was still calm, "It's not a coincidence, it's just a wise choice. Thanks to the last time I went to your company, I found this place. It's a pretty good location and a nice environment."

"…"

Lu Yao choked and gritted her teeth, "Shao Yunchen, what are you trying to do? We've already divorced. Can you stop disturbing my peaceful life? "

After a few seconds of silence, a deep, husky laugh came from the other side. "Because of your ex-husband's name, you have to feel like whatever I do has ulterior motives. Lu Yao, are you too narcissistic, or …" "A guilty conscience?"

He purposely slowed down his speech for the last four words. His deep and hoarse voice had an inexplicable charm to it, causing Lu Yao's heart to skip a beat.

If Shao Yunchen was here, he would have definitely seen her ugly expression.

She clenched her phone tightly and gritted her teeth in silence for a long time. After waiting for her breath to calm down, she coldly said, "Since you don't have any ulterior motives, you must do what you say."

After saying that, without waiting for his response, she cut off the call, shot a glare at the other party, and then left the window.

Shao Yunchen, who was standing by the opposite window, put down his phone. His gaze remained fixed on her direction, unmoving. The light in his eyes dimmed, giving him an unfathomable depth.

At this moment, someone knocked on the door.

Fu Xuezi walked in. "Brother Chen, aunty is calling, asking us to go back and eat dinner."

The man's back was facing her and he didn't turn around. He said lightly, "You can go. I still have something to do at noon. Tell her that I'll be back in the evening."

The woman's expression changed slightly, "What is it?" Do you need me to stay and help? "

"No need, you go back first."

"…"

Fu Xuezi looked at him. She had already guessed something, and instantly felt very uncomfortable.

He was facing Ying Xin Technology Company, and he still wanted to look for that woman?

Lu Yao clenched her fingers. A strange look flashed in her eyes, but she didn't ask any further. She nodded. "I'll be going then."

"…"

Lu Yao sat beside her computer, her mind still preoccupied with what had just happened. Her mind was in a mess.

Suddenly, she felt someone tugging at her clothes. She was startled, and when she regained her senses, she lowered her head to look. Tiantian had appeared in front of her from the sofa at some point in time, and was looking at her helplessly, as if something had happened.

"What's wrong?" she asked softly.

The little girl pursed her lips and her eyebrows knitted together. Her expression seemed to be uncomfortable, as she reached out to take off her pants.

Lu Yao was stunned by her actions. Suddenly, a glint flashed across her eyes. "You want to pee?"

She shook her head.

Lu Yao was a little confused. She tilted her head and asked tentatively, "Pulling dung?"

The little girl finally nodded dumbly.

Lu Yao was amused by her laugh. She was afraid that she would hold it in. She reached out to pick her up and rushed out of the office towards the bathroom.

While she was waiting inside, the front desk staff suddenly called her.

"Manager Lu, the representative of the Long Teng company has arrived."
