The next day, the husband and wife woke up quite early. After they leisurely finished their breakfast, they went straight to work.
They brought the blueprint that they had amended together the day before. Xi Xiaye called for an early morning meeting and explained everything to get a consensus from everyone’s opinions. After the whole morning, they finally managed to settle everything.
These few days, she had been mainly a.s.sisting Mu Yuchen in the office while Li Si was busy helping Vice President Liu Lingyu. Mu Yuchen had delegated all the work on her hands, so she now really became an idle person.
Inside Mu Yuchen’s office, he was sitting at his desk and discussing something with Vice President Wen Hai. Xi Xiaye stood by the side of the table as she put a stack of doc.u.ments into a folder while he was still on the phone.
She hesitated momentarily, then decided not to disturb him and just go over herself. However, just as she picked up the folder, the man hung up.
“Where are you going?”
Seeing her about to turn around, he suddenly reached out to pull her back.
“Send these doc.u.ments over to Qi Kai. There are some little details that still need to be explained to them. It’s now a little over 10 a.m. By the time I’m done, it should be noon, just in time for a break. I won’t be back for lunch then, so get your secretary to get you lunch. I should be able to rush back for work in the afternoon.”
Xi Xiaye reached over to pull the drawer beside him open before taking a car key out. “You aren’t going out at noon, are you? I’m going to drive over…”
“Come back sooner. I have to make a trip to the South River in the afternoon,” he said and handed his phone to her.
Xi Xiaye nodded. “Mmm, bye.”
…
When she reached Qi Kai, the person who greeted her was Qi Lei. He looked much better than the day before. Although his voice was still raspy and dry, he did not cough as badly as yesterday.
“We’ve roughly approved it on our side. There are just some minor details that we hope you could pay a little more attention to. Here’s the amended blueprint. Take a look to see if there’s anything you don’t understand.”
Xi Xiaye sat on the sofa and spoke seriously as her slender and fair fingers gently pushed the opened doc.u.ment towards Qi Lei. “Here, I hope that you can change it to Glory World’s logo. This area will become one of the main recreational centers for the people of the South River. This part that Qi Kai is in charge of is extremely important.”
“Did Mu Yuchen say he wanted to change it to your logo? It doesn’t say so up there.” Qi Lei’s raspy voice was heard as he frowned at the doc.u.ment and pointed out the details that were noted at the top of the doc.u.ment.
“No, I just thought of it,” Xi Xiaye answered quite frankly.
Qi Lei could not help but roll his eyes at her. Glaring at her, he said coldly, “You really know how to bargain. Two logos aren’t easy to handle.”
“Then, just ditch Qi Kai’s logo and change to Glory World’s. The actual people in charge of this project is Glory World anyway.”
She did not tolerate it further and packed her things up. “Okay, I’m done explaining and you’re clear about everything, so just follow this plan. I’m leaving now. If there’s anything, you can just contact our Vice President Zhang Lan.”
“It’s almost time for lunch. Let’s have lunch together.”
Qi Lei packed the doc.u.ments and slowly got up.
With lifted eyebrows, Xi Xiaye was about to reject him, yet Qi Lei spoke up, “You wouldn’t reject me on this, would you? Of course, you can first ask Mu Yuchen for permission based on the way you look all obedient to him…”
Xi Xiaye did not like to hear these words Qi Lei just uttered.
What did he mean by that, implying Mu Yuchen had tamed her to be all docile?
