C290 Have a Cup of Coffee Before You Leave
After Zuo Xin finished her last sentence, it was as if she had let go of her long-held grudge. It was not as sad and painful as she had imagined. Instead, she felt much more relaxed in her heart, as if she had let go of her burden.
Perhaps, the best choice was to be brave to face her own heart. No matter what the result was, it was still much better than being kept in the dark.
"Help me tell Luo Luo that I will not let Catherine pull Rhona into the abyss. She only needs to protect her fortress and my domain. I, Ding Dang, will send a big gift as repayment for today's favor in the future."
Before Zhang Chen left, he took away the last time he came with Pei Luoluo. The handmade person he had secretly bought when he went to the market in the morning. He wore a set from a small clan and a small silver hat. Her expression and the charm of her eyebrows were a bit similar to hers.
However, she had been in a hurry to chase after Xiao Yichen at that time, so this gift had been put on hold. Until now, she still hadn't found a chance to give it away. After a long time, even he himself forgot about it in the end.
The night in the city might have been because the weather had gotten warmer, but after nine o'clock at night, the lively atmosphere returned to summer, even though it was still a long distance away from summer.
After Xiao Yichen was done with his work in the office, it was already eight o'clock at night when he looked at the time. After a short nap in the afternoon, he felt a little better.
"Director Xiao." Lee Xue, who was sitting on the sofa, saw that Xiao Yichen was done with his work. She quickly got up and called him softly.
Xiao Yichen frowned slightly. He only remembered after a while. He had asked her to sit there and wait for him when he was too busy. In the end, he had forgotten about it when he was busy. Looking at the time, Lee Xue should have sat there for more than two hours already.
"I'm too busy." The short four words sounded like an apology, but this sincere tone was indeed...
"Miss Catherine held a banquet for you in the Sheng Emperor and asked you to attend the appointment." Lee Xue's voice became softer and softer, but it was still within the range that Xiao Yichen could hear without much effort.
Seeing that Xiao Yichen did not respond, she only packed the documents on the table and turned off the computer.
"Director Xiao, according to the results of my investigation, Miss Catherine only took a short month. The high price of the acquisition has merged with several careful companies, although it cannot be compared with our Xiao's. But it's also a potential threat. After all, she still had the backing of the royal family. I think that she most likely wants to use this to display her own strength. At the same time..."
"She's also warning me to stop worrying."
Xiao Yichen's lips curled up slightly, as if he was mocking himself, but more of it was mocking himself.
This was supposed to be a natural emotional exchange, but now it had become his biggest problem.
"Let's go!" Xiao Yichen took Lee Xue's coat and walked out first.
Lee Xue followed behind him. She had to jog in order to keep up with Xiao Yichen's pace.
This BOSS ignored the thoughts, steps, emotions, and mentality of others every time. He only did what he said and he would dare to kneel down in front of his ego.
If it was someone else, no matter how they looked at it, they might not be able to subdue everyone. However, Xiao Yichen seemed to be born to be the leader, and the person following him. Those who had seen him before all showed respect and submission to him. Even some of the senior elders, although they always said that he was arrogant and proud, however, they had also praised him in their hearts.
Jealousy could also cause one's heart to distort. This was also a common mentality. As time went on, those twisted and deformed minds... It will interweave together and form a back wall. Bewildering the mind and doing things that go against one's nature.
For example, conspiring to frame and suppressing them.
For example, the phone call Rhona just gave Catherine.
Although the Luo and Zuo families could not be compared to the powerful families like the Xiao family, they still had some reputation in C City or even C Province.
At least, it was not hard to support a person to get promoted or to support a company.
"Miss, Miss Luo's suggestion just now. What do you think?" Catherine's assistant was a Russian woman with long silver hair named Aisha.
She was smart and capable, and her long hair was tied behind her head. She had a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on her white face, which made her look more experienced and decisive.
Catherine walked to the mirror and pulled the corner of her skirt. She then turned to look at her. After examining her, her thin lips drew a satisfied smile.
"What can a person who is unwilling to live in Xiao Yichen's shadow do? I am just borrowing his family to make my new company famous. This kind of thing... If you have money, you are afraid that you will not be able to find a job? Do you need her to talk to me about conditions?"
Catherine smiled sarcastically and continued, "She actually demanded that I hand over the new design plan for the pedestrian street that we had just discussed with Yichen to her? Yichen is a famous architectural designer. Am I crazy enough to ask him to hire someone who would hate him even though he knew it was not good for him? Despicable? "
After saying that, Catherine disdainfully glanced at the phone number that she had just called on her phone, then turned her gaze back to the mirror.
"If she calls again, tell her clearly that we will work together. I can give her a chance on Zuo Xin's account. If it is anything else, save it."
Catherine picked up a gorgeous purple velvet dress with a long drag on her chest and smiled charmingly. It was charming and moving. The tiny diamonds on her chest circled around her dress in an S shape, like a bright little snake clinging onto the body of this charming and sexy woman. A poisonous temptation invaded her.
"Let's go." Catherine first took a step forward and turned back.
"Aisha, do you still have the Anshensan you gave me last time?"
Aisha was slightly stunned and then nodded lightly. "Miss, there is still more. But I can't use too much, I will urge you. Besides, if you don't use it well, something will happen. " Aisha knew what Catherine meant.
It was because of this that Catherine left Xiao Yichen behind last night. Xiao Yichen was so tired that he did not guard against it at all. When he heard Catherine say to go back to retrieve her seal, he accompanied her back.
Because it was a project contract, both parties had to sign the seal. Xiao Yichen knew that she was not familiar with the road, so he did not think too much about it when Catherine asked him to send her off.
Unexpectedly, she went in for more than half an hour without any movement. Xiao Yichen thought that something had happened. In addition, Catherine was born too spoiled. He was not used to unfamiliar environments, so he waited for nearly an hour. He opened the car door.
Unexpectedly, what entered his eyes was a woman wearing sexy transparent pajamas. She walked towards him in an enchanting manner, because the distance was pulled closer. Only then did Xiao Yichen realize that the layer of white gauze was so transparent that it could be seen with a single glance.
"Let's have a cup of coffee before we leave."
Catherine's voice was very soft and soft. She leaned close to Xiao Yichen's ear and lifted his hand to pull Xiao Yichen's hand towards the sofa.
There was a faint fragrance in the room, like the smell of smoked grass but not completely. It gave people a very comfortable feeling even though it was not clear.
