Chapter 167: 167 you can go Chapter 167: 167 you can go After Luo Xiyun’s office was closed, the entire electronic sales departnt descended into chaos. Chen Ziqi stood on a desk, filming with her phone, and no one seed to care.
The office area was noisy, so were shouting Chen Xu’s na, while others were whispering among themselves.
With such a big incident occurring, no one had the mind to work.
Everyone felt that Chen Xu must have been provoked. Those who usually had a good relationship with him, like Old Tang and Dai Zixin, were very worried about him. They shouted through the door, trying to calm him down.
It was too noisy outside and the room was soundproof; they couldn’t hear anything from inside.
Others, who weren’t as close, speculated about why Chen Xu was so agitated, wondering if it had to do with his resignation.
The two won standing in front of Chen Ziqi were saying that maybe Chen Xu was targeted by Mr. Luo, given a hard ti, discovered the truth, and ca to take revenge.
After listening for a while, Chen Ziqi heard them discussing a bizarre plot about Chen Xu overhearing so secrets and then being frad by Mr. Luo. They didn’t suspect any romantic entanglents, so she couldn’t help but interject, “Actually, they were just lovers having a quarrel.”
The two female employees, startled by the voice from behind, turned around and saw a teenage girl. They were puzzled as to where she had co from.
As for what she had just said, they didn’t take it to heart at all.
Just as they were about to ask, two security guards erged at the door. Their attention was imdiately drawn to them.
Chen Ziqi, seeing their lack of reaction, rolled her eyes in frustration and muttered, “Can’t believe you don’t trust , huh. You’ll see in a bit.”
She had overheard what Chen Xu asked Old Tang and knew the “Mr. Luo” they were talking about was the pretty sister nad Xiyun that she t last night. She guessed what was happening and, although Chen Xu had shown so courage, she was delighted but no one shared her joy, which upset her.
The crowd quickly made way as the security guards walked up to the office door and used a spare key to open it.
As soon as the door opened, everyone looked inside and were shocked by the scene. Chen Xu was holding Mr. Luo in his arms, struggling continuously.
Anyone witnessing this scene would think the obvious, that Chen Xu was assaulting Mr. Luo.
People at the scene were shocked as it was broad daylight, everyone was at work, and he had stord into Mr. Luo’s office to assault her. It was not just audacious; it was madness.
They were colleagues with Chen Xu, familiar with him, who usually appeared introverted and honest. Why would he suddenly do sothing so crazy?
That familiarity made the situation even more shocking.
Then, a security guard shouted loudly and swung his baton toward Chen Xu’s back.
Old Tang and Dai Zixin were taken aback, but before they could intervene, it was too late. Others looked on, unable to bear it.
Chen Ziqi was also frantic and yelled from afar, “You dare?”
“Get out.”
Suddenly, Luo Xiyun, who had been struggling in Chen Xu’s arms, pointed at the security guard and shouted loudly, “Get out.”
Get out?
The security guard was stunned.
Old Tang and Dai Zixin were stunned, and all the other colleagues were stunned. The previously noisy office entrance abruptly fell silent.
What kind of plot twist was this?
Everyone present felt as if they were dreaming. Could it be that they heard wrong?
The security guard, still holding the baton, stuttered awkwardly, “Miss Luo?”
“I told you to get out.”
This ti, in the silence, her voice was exceptionally clear, reaching the ears of everyone present.
The security guard’s face turned red and he tried to speak, but an older security guard pulled him away. They left the office, then closed the door again.
The older guard spoke to Secretary Guo, “Miss Guo, about this matter…”
Secretary Guo still seed a bit dazed. Hearing him, she quickly responded, “It’s a misunderstanding, just a misunderstanding. Sorry to have troubled you, really sorry.”
“It’s alright as long as it’s nothing serious,” the security guard said, pulling his colleague away.
Secretary Guo saw the two guards out, then turned back to see everyone still standing at the door, silent in an eerie manner.
“What are you all standing around for? Get back to work,” she shooed them away and warned, “About today’s matter, be careful and don’t spread it outside.”
“Oh…”
Hearing their absent-minded responses, she felt helpless, knowing her words were in vain. With so many people and eyes in the departnt, it was impossible to contain the news.
No need to wait till tomorrow, the news would spread throughout the building before the end of the work day.
She turned around and saw Chen Ziqi who had just jumped off the desk and called out to her, “Wait, who are you, and how did you get in?”
Chen Ziqi smiled sweetly and replied, “Hello, sister. I’m Chen Xu’s sister. I ca with him.”
“Oh, hello hello.”
Secretary Guo’s face instantly turned friendly, and she pulled Chen Ziqi to her seat, “Just sit here and wait for him. He probably… well, do you want so snacks? I have cookies here.”
“That’s great, I got up this morning and haven’t eaten anything yet. Thank you, sister.”
Secretary Guo clicked her tongue in wonder. Chen Xu, that closed-mouthed person, actually had such a cute sister who was also polite and sweet, truly likable.
However, when she thought about the scene she had just witnessed, she felt it wasn’t much, for Chen Xu even dared to pursue Mr. Luo. She really couldn’t think of anything more incredible.
She turned and walked outside, only to see that no one else’s mind was on their work. So were dazed, with a blank stare. So were excitedly talking to others about this shocking gossip. So were texting; so were making secret calls.
She felt a sense of powerlessness inside and knew she couldn’t control it, so she simply gave up.
Honestly, deep in her heart, she also wanted to know how people would gossip about it now.
…
Inside the office, when Luo Xiyun said those words, Chen Xu had already let go of her hand, after all, so many people were watching.
In a mont, the door closed again.
Chen Xu thought about how Luo Xiyun had sent everyone away and felt a rush of excitent, moving in to kiss her.
Luo Xiyun turned her head, not letting him succeed. Chen Xu chased after her.
“You just think about bullying .”
This ti, she didn’t dodge again. While talking, tears ca down again, “In my dreams, it’s always like this, and back in reality, it’s still the sa. What do you take for?”
Chen Xu stiffened and slowly backed to the door, his mind in complete disarray, utterly unclear about what she really wanted.
The two of them just stood there, neither speaking, each lost in their own thoughts.
Silence lasted for a long while.
Until, the phone lying on the floor rang.
Luo Xiyun showed no intention of picking up the phone, and after ringing for nearly a minute, it hung up automatically.
Then, she finally moved, turned her back to him, and said softly, “You can leave, I don’t want to see you right now.”
Chen Xu wanted to say sothing, but didn’t know what to say. He scratched his head, turned around to open the door, and as he was turning the knob, he finally couldn’t help but ask a question, “So, you were lying to , you actually don’t have a boyfriend?”
“Just leave.” What answered him was a cold voice.
He stiffened his face, pulled open the door, and walked out.
Upon exiting, he saw Chen Ziqi sitting at Secretary Guo’s desk, and exclaid, “What are you doing here?”
Chen Ziqi replied irritably, “You suddenly ran out like a madman. If I didn’t follow you and sothing happened to you, how would I explain it to our aunt?”
Hearing her say that, Chen Xu felt a bit embarrassed and said, “Stop talking nonsense and let’s go.”
Just as they stepped outside, he felt sothing strange—it was particularly quiet, and he was greeted by various complex and bizarre stares that made him extrely uncomfortable.
He didn’t speak, and neither did anyone else. The atmosphere seed rather eerie.
Only when they were almost at the door did Chen Xu say, “Sorry for the disturbance.”
“No disturbance, no disturbance,” many people responded subconsciously.
Then, Chen Xu left with Chen Ziqi.
Riding the elevator to the lobby on the first floor, they just ran into the two security guards from before. Chen Xu had been facing away from them earlier and hadn’t seen their faces. As they walked past, Chen Xu didn’t react.
The faces of the two security guards looked a bit strange, especially the younger one, who seed exceptionally awkward. As the two left the building, he pointed at Chen Xu’s retreating figure and whispered to his colleague beside him, “It’s this guy…”
The people around exclaid, “Really, Miss Luo is interested in him?”
“Indeed.”
…
“Chen Xu, I’m actually impressed with you this ti.”
As soon as they left the building, Chen Ziqi regained her nature and praised continually, “You actually dared to make a bold move, not bad, not bad. Although a bit risky, for soone as aloof as that lady, you need to be forceful. So, did you give her a kiss right then and got her to agree to be your girlfriend?”
As she spoke, she noticed Chen Xu’s expression was off and said in surprise, “Don’t tell you didn’t win her over.”
Although Chen Xu didn’t want to discuss his romantic issues, he had no one else to consult, hesitated for a mont, and said, “She said she doesn’t want to see now and told to leave.”
Chen Ziqi stopped in her tracks, looked at him in shock, “Don’t tell you just left?”
After seeing his expression, she imdiately understood and involuntarily gasped. She had thought her brother was just not very intelligent when it ca to love, but she didn’t anticipate it to be to this extent.
Straight n she had seen plenty, but this extent still left her dumbfounded.
Chen Xu, feeling a bit guilty under her gaze, coughed lightly and said, “Let’s go, back to the noodle shop.”
This man is hopeless.
Chen Ziqi shook her head and followed behind him.
