Chapter 83
“Don’t go.” Xu Yanwen hugged Xue Jiayue from the back and sincerely requested, “let’s have a good talk.”
“Aiyo!”
As soon as General Manager He opened the door of his office, he saw two people hugging together in the corridor outside and he knew both of them. The man was Xu Yanwen, his handsome and golden boss, who decided whether the person in charge of his studio could continue to work. The woman was Xue Jiayue, the designer of his studio, who had worked in his studio for less than a month.
According to what he learned, the relationship between Xu Yanwen and Xue Jiayue was a little complicated. They are obviously husband and wife. Xu Yanwen also cares about his wife in his heart. He opened this studio to make his wife happy, but he kept it from her, didn’t tell her about it, and let the person in charge of his studio act with him, pretending not to know the relationship between them.
And if he meets them outside together, he should also pretend that they don’t know each other. This was what assistant Feng called him and emphasize after the last encounter at the hotel. If he makes such a mistake again, the head of the studio would not be him anymore.
Now Mr. He accidentally ran into Xu Yanwen and Xue Jiayue hugging each other at the door of his office. He was surprised at first and then remembered what assistant Feng had warned him to pretend not to see or recognize.
Yes, I don’t see anything!
General Manager He hurriedly covered his eyes with his hands, hurriedly turned around, pushed open the door of his office, and wanted to hide back, like a mouse seeing a cat, but his mouth still said.
“You continue, I didn’t see anything.”
But who was he jesting, seeing his boss hugging his wife at the door of his office and both of them looked so serious not to mention the atmosphere was ice cold and looked bad if he still stood there foolishly maybe he wouldn’t have to come back to work tomorrow and just rolled up his bags and rolled away.
As the saying goes, accompanying a king was like accompanying a tiger. At this moment, he feels that accompanying the boss was also similar to accompanying a tiger, especially when the boss’s wife was still working in his studio, meaning they would have seen each other more often. If he does do his job carelessly and offended the boss’s wife he also offends the boss. Life was not easy.
From the moment he ran into Xu Yanwen and Xue Jiayue to the moment he hurried back to the office; this was what was running in his mind in just a few seconds.
Looking at General Manager He returning to the office with his eyes covered, Xue Jiayue was really embarrassed. She couldn’t wait to find a crawl in. She struggled in Xu Yanwen’s arms feeling annoyed and shy.
“Let go of me.”
Xu Yanwen also felt that this time was indeed not a good time to talk. If the two continued to entangle, and other people saw them again, he was afraid Xue Jiayue would get angrier. In order to appease Xue Jiayue’s mood, he let go of his hand and said to Xue Jiayue.
“I’ll pick you up after work in the afternoon, and we’ll talk in the evening?”
Xue Jiayue originally wanted to say “we have nothing to talk about”, but on second thought, it’s better to talk clearly with Xu Yanwen, so as not to drag on like this, and make everyone feel tired.
So she agreed to Xu Yanwen’s proposal and said, “Let’s talk in the evening. I’ll go back to the office first.”
Xu Yanwen looked at her and gave a “hmm”, but she did not look at him again, she turned around and walked to the elevator door and pressed the downstairs button, her office was on the next floor.
Seeing Xue Jiayue walk into the elevator, and watched as the elevator doors slowly closed, Xu Yanwen was still standing in the same place and did not move.
After a good half sound, Xu Yanwen turned around and walked to the door of General Manager He’s office, raised his hand, and knocked on the door.
“Mr. He.” Xu Yanwen called out from the doorway.
Hearing Xu Yanwen’s voice at the door, General Manager He’s heart was in his throat as he hurriedly answers.
“What is it?”
Xu Yanwen said, “Open the door, I have something to say to you.”
General Manager He then hurriedly came to open the door.
“Please come in President Xu.”
General Manager He smilingly asked Xu Yanwen to enter and glanced behind him, but Xue Jiayue was no longer there, so she probably had already gone back to her office.
He led Xu Yanwen into his office to sit down and personally went to make tea for him.
Xu Yanwen said faintly, “don’t bother, I’ll leave after a few words.”
General Manager He then listened attentively and smiled, “You say what you say.”
Xu Yanwen glanced at General Manager He and said, “Has the studio been busy lately?”
General Manager He recalled and said.
“No, the work in the studio has been quite idle recently, so I arrange an order and let Wang Dan take charge.”
Xu Yanwen frowned at his words and remembered that Xue Jiayue said that she had something very important to do, so he asked General Manager He again.
“There’s nothing going on in the studio? Is Jiayue’s work here okay?”
General Manager He had just returned from a business trip and did not yet know about Xue Jiayue’s design being stolen, so he nodded and said.
“Mrs. Xu is very good and fine, her workability is quite excellent, and there is nothing going on in the studio.”
But in fact, Xue Jiayue has always been out of work since the day she started working. She was either injured or ill, and she took more vacation time than work time. Fortunately, this was the studio opened by Xu Yanwen, if it was another boss, Xue Jiayue had long been dismissed.
Seeing that he couldn’t ask anything, Xu Yanwen knew that General Manager probably didn’t know about Xue Jiayue, so he stopped asking. He just stared at General Manager He and said.
“Take care of my wife.”
“Mm-hmm.” General Manager He hastily agreed, “No problem, don’t worry.”
“If anything happens in the studio or with my wife, remember to notify me first.”
After Xu Yanwen finished explaining to General Manager He, he stood up from the sofa and walked out with his long legs.
General Manager He hurriedly followed him out of the door, and then sent him into the elevator. Until the elevator door was closed, he raised his hand and wiped the sweat on his forehead. He thought to himself, clearly, Xu Yanwen didn’t say anything to him just now, why did he feel so stressed and scared him into a cold sweat?
………..
….
After Xue Jiayue and Xu Yanwen separated, she took the elevator back to her office and sat frozen in front of her desk, staring at the open computer for a while, her mind was blank, like there were many things she needed to organize and think about, but she didn’t know where to start, so she just sat there, like a wooden man.
Finally, Cheng Wei sorted out his emotions, came to break her silence, leaned against Xue Jiayue’s desk, looked at the document opened on her computer, and said.
“Jiayue, you said yesterday that you drew a very creative design, open it for me.”
Xue Jiayue heard what he said and quickly came back to her senses. This was a line that she and he had devised early on to set a trap for the person who stole her design, to lure the thief to come back and steal her design.
“Yes, I drew it yesterday, but I haven’t finished it yet. I won’t show it to you until I finish it.” Xue Jiayue said according to the previously set lines.
“Aiya, you are too stingy, you told me you’ll show it to me but now you change your mind. I thought your creativity was very good at that time, are you afraid that I would copy your design so you hide it on purpose?”
Cheng Wei said deliberately.
Xue Jiayue then laughed: “No of course not, I just really didn’t draw it well, and I feel it is a little bit short of feeling. I’ll show it to you when I finish it.”
“Well, then, you must show it to me when you finish drawing.”
Cheng Wei emphasized this again and again.
“Uh huh.” Xue Jiayue nodded her head and agreed, “I’ll definitely show you when I’m done with the designs.”
Cheng Wei said: “I saw on the Internet that the ‘Huaxia Cup’ international fashion design competition will soon be open for registration, do you want to participate? I think if you participate with your work, you will be able to win the gold award 100%.”
Xue Jiayue chuckled, “Lend your auspicious word!”
“I’m not just praising you, I’m telling the truth, with my eyes from participating in many competitions, you really have the strength to win.” Cheng Wei said with great certainty.
“You have said so, then I must participate.” Xue Jiayue said with a smile.
Cheng Wei gave her a thumbs up, “Jiayou.”
“Jiayou.” Xue Jiayue also clenched her fist with confidence.
When the two of them said this together, their voices were not small and the people next to them heard it.
Originally, Wang Dan and Lu Xiaoyu were talking with two colleagues from other departments. When Wang Dan heard Xue Jiayue say that she was going to participate in the competition, she also became interested and asked.
“Is it the ‘Huaxia Cup’ competition? Cheng Wei you send me a copy of the competition information later.”
Cheng Wei made an OK gesture towards her, “No problem, send it to you later.”
Lu Xiaoyu also followed, “I want to participate, send me a copy.”
The same tone of command made Cheng Wei unhappy and directly ignored her.
Wang Dan saw the situation and had to say, “I’ll send it to you later.”
“Thank you, Sister Wang.” Lu Xiaoyu smiled quickly at Wang Dan, and turned back to Cheng Wei and pouted, feeling very proud.
Wang Dan couldn’t do anything between Lu Xiaoyu and Cheng Wei shook her head, and simply cared about Xue Jiayue.
“Do you really already have designs ready?”
“Not yet!” Xue Jiayue smiled and said, “it’s just an inspiration and a sketch.”
“Can you show it to me?” Wang Dan asked.
Xue Jiayue hurriedly covered her keyboard and mouse, looking like a baby.
“Not yet, wait until I finish the designs.”
Wang Dan actually just teased her. Seeing that she cared so much, she patted her on the shoulder and said.
“Okay, Okay, I don’t want to see it. Hide it and draw it well. I’ll wait until the design is finished.”
“Mm-hmm.” Xue Jiayue nodded her head repeatedly, her eyes shining with confidence.
Next to them, Lu Xiaoyu saw this, and tightened the drawings squeezed in her hands, she also wants to go to that competition, and must take the prize back, to beat Xue Jiayue!
