-The next morning-
It took a lot of effort for Xu y to convince Ye Jie. She pleaded desperately and that’s when Ye Jie gave in and let her go to the office. But the condition was that Ye Jie will drive her there and pick her up as well. Xu y readily agreed.
When Ye Jie parked the car in front of Vintage’s office building, he was still reluctant. He really didn’t want Xu y to work. But he couldn’t manage to say no to her as well. Her black eyes were enough to entangle him into her charms. He turned to Xu y and said, "Baby, let’s just rest for one more day."
"Ah Jie, I’m really fine. It’s really important for to be there today." She replied making him sigh tiredly.
"Fine!" He grumbled. "But," he held her hand and said, "Please take care of yourself. Don’t run around and there is no need to overexert yourself." While Ye Jie was nagging her, Xu y was smiling widely as warmness gushed into her whole body.
She leaned towards him and left a kiss on his lips saying, "I’ll do everything that my Ah Jie said and I’ll definitely try to leave early as well. Okay?" She made an ’okay’ hand sign and smiled before disembarking the car leaving a dazed Ye Jie behind.
"And then she says that I make her speechless." Ye Jie said to himself while shaking his head lightly.
When Xu y entered the building instead of being greeted by Qin Hao, she was greeted by an overly enthusiastic face. Xu y had to rub her eyes to see whether she was seeing things or Ye Jun was really waving at her with a goofy grin. Ye Jun ran up to her and stood at a distance afraid that if Ye Jie got to know that he hugged Xu y, he might kill him.
"What are you doing here?" Xu y asked with clear surprise in her voice.
"Didn’t I tell you yesterday that I’ll co to watch the live show?" Ye Jun replied matter-of-factly.
"But I didn’t expect you to co so early," Xu y replied.
"You don’t like seeing here?" Ye Jun’s smile faltered a bit.
"I didn’t say that." He smiled radiantly again. "I am worried that in your excitent, you must have skipped breakfast." Xu y was right Ye Jun was so damn excited that he ran to Vintage Gem’s building at around 7 in the morning. He scratched the back of his head sheepishly. Xu y pulled his ear and said, "Little brother, that’s so irresponsible of you."
"Ouch! Ouch! Sis! Let go!" Ye Jun hollered getting unnecessary attention to himself and Xu y.
Employees were looking curiously at the scene without anyone moving too close. It was a rule to keep a distance from President Xu. And if soone didn’t value their life, they could break this rule. But everyone’s life was precious to them. So, no one moved a muscle. Everyone just stared with interest.
Xu y dragged Ye Jun to her private elevator leaving room for her employees to gossip.
"Who was that handso young man?" A female assistant asked fanning her face dramatically.
"Gosh! He was really handso." Another one chid in.
"Are we going to ignore the fact that he seed quite close to the President." A sensible person spoke. "They looked perfect together." Okay, not so much of a sensible person here.
"You’re right. He really looked good with our President."
"He looked very familiar though." The receptionist made her comnt.
Ye Jun was in PR and he was mostly in news. It was hard for people to not know his face. The crowd slowly dispersed as today was an important day for Vintage.
-President’s office, Vintage Gems-
Xu y asked Qin Hao to make arrangents of breakfast for Ye Jun while she went to the morning eting. When she ca back from the eting, Ye Jun was looking around her office with interest.
Ye Jun didn’t disturb Xu y for unnecessary things and let her work like normal. He was surprised to see this authoritative side of Xu y. She really was a scary President. He smiled to himself. He found her very similar to Ye Jie. Both had the habit of forgetting about their surrounding while they were imrsed in their work.
It was lunchti when Xu Liqing ca to the Vintage Office. She went up to the reception and said, "Inform President Xu that Xu Liqing is here to see her."
’You’re here to apologize, what’s with the attitude girl?’ The receptionist thought inwardly but kept a professional smile on her face. "Ms. Xu, our President is in a eting. I’m afraid, you’ll have to wait." The receptionist didn’t think that what she said was wrong at all. These arrogant girls were ant to teach a lesson.
Xu Liqing slapped her hand on the reception and asked, "You’re asking to wait? How dare a lowly employee like you do that? Where is your managent?"
The receptionist smiled widely and replied, "Ms. Xu, this isn’t a food stall where you can holler like this. It’s a company and your people inford us that you’ll be coming at 10 in the morning and right now, it’s 1 o’clock. I’m sure you can understand that our President is not a free person." ’Like so people here.’ She didn’t say the last sentence to avoid the possible conflict. But the conflict was already there. After all, her taunting remarks were enough to infuriate Xu Liqing.
"You!" Xu Liqing was seething in fury. She had never been insulted this way in her entire life and that too by a re receptionist?
"Ms. Xu, please wait there in the lobby. Thank You!" The receptionist ignored Xu Liqing’s beet red face and went on about her work.
Xu Liqing had to dig her nails in her palms to diminish her anger. She stomped her foot and sauntered over to the lobby waiting area.
When Xu y heard of what the receptionist did to Xu Liqing on her own accord, she only said, "Qin Hao, make sure our competent receptionist is promoted next month." Qin Hao nodded and left the office.
"Wow! Sis, even your employees are just like you; ruthless and poisonous." Ye Jun remarked with admiration in his eyes.
"Poison can be fought with poison, little brother. It’s like fighting fire with fire." She only said that and buried herself in files on her desk.
