Chapter 409: Chapter 410 It’s just unrequited love
For all the bachelors, Ziyuan’s answer was undoubtedly encouraging. Tian Guochong didn’t believe it, “Really? No one was chasing Miss Xue? Are those foreigners all blind?”
Ziyuan first glanced at secretly, and then replied evasively, “My study had already taken up most of my ti, and I also needed to work part-ti to support myself, so I had no spare ti to think about that kind of thing.”
‘Work part-ti?’ I was dazed. Wasn’t Ziyuan’s father the boss of a big company? Why did she have to work part-ti to support herself? Ziyuan’s nonchalant attitude gave a strange feeling, and the way she answered other people’s questions made feel like she was rembering the lines that she had prepared in advance.
Perhaps it was because Mo Fei had been keeping a low profile and she didn’t speak much, everyone was less restrained than before. The effect of alcohol should never be underestimated. Gong Fanlin was so excited that he completely forgot himself and asked directly, “Seriously? Miss Xue is still single? Hehe, then, can it be understood that we bachelors have a chance to chase you?”
‘You wish!’ I almost couldn’t hold back my desire to splash the wine from the glass onto this guy’s face.
But I didn’t expect that before Ziyuan said anything, Qin Lan said with a smile, seemingly picking on Gong Fanlin, “Hehe, Gong Fanlin, you are really funny. Even if Assistant Xiu is still single, she still has a standard for choosing a spouse. Perhaps her first requirent for an ideal lover is not to wear glasses, the second is that his eyes should not be too small, and the third is that he should not be too fat.”
The expression on Gong Fanlin’s face suddenly beca a little stiff. Qin Lan’s three requirents made it clear that she was deliberately targeting him who wore a pair of short-sighted glasses. “Elder Sister Qin, what did I do that offended you?”
“What do you an?” Qin Lan smiled coquettishly, and said, “Did I say that you have offended before? I was just joking to liven up the atmosphere. Why did you take it seriously? Don’t be mad. Here, let drink this glass of wine as an apology.”
Everyone including Gong Fanlin could tell that Qin Lan was insinuating that Gong Fanlin often spread rumors about her behind her back.
However, Qin Lan was too cunning. She took the initiative to admit her mistakes and apologize to Gong Fanlin, making people think that Gong Fanlin couldn’t take the joke. Whether Gong Fanlin drank his glass of wine with her or not, it seed that it still would not be able to save him from the embarrassnt. No wonder that his face was getting more ugly. After hesitating for a mont, he eventually raised his glass, but the wine in his wine glass no longer tasted that great.
Qin Lan only took a small sip, her lips moistened by the wine smugly curved up, looking very provocative. I knew this woman was not easy to ss with, but I didn’t expect that she would also like to ss with others…
Trying to ease the awkward atmosphere, Old Black raised his wine glass, stood up, and said, “Ms. Xue, don’t just watch others drinking. Haha, everyone has already known each other, so there is no need to introduce ourselves again. Everyone, co, let take the lead. Let’s toast to Miss Xue and welco her to join the Investnt Departnt of Fengchang Group.”
Although Old Black wasn’t the host of this welco party, and he seed to want to steal the role of host from , I was still a junior in the general operation team. The team leader, Elder Sister Liu, was a woman, and the deputy team leader, Elder Brother Gao, was sitting at another table, so Old Black was indeed the only one who was qualified to take the lead.
Hearing what he said, everyone stood up and raised their glasses, including the three irrelevant people: Chu Yuan, Dongfang, and Dong Xiaoye.
Ziyuan modestly said, “Thank you, I’ve just started working and I don’t have much experience. I will inevitably need help from everyone in the future. So I will use this glass of wine to express my gratitude in advance.” After that, she emptied the glass of wine in one gulp.
Everyone sat down after finishing the drink, but Old Black didn’t. He filled his glass with wine again and respectfully said to Mo Fei, “Next, I’d like to propose a toast to you, Ms. Mo. To be honest, earlier, I was still struggling to make up my mind as to whether I should propose a toast to you first. In my mory, apart from the company-organized banquet, today is the first ti for you to participate in a private gathering of colleagues. We are both happy and a little nervous. But because Miss Xue is today’s main guest, I hope that you will not be offended that we drank a toast to her first…”
“Oh?” Mo Fei smiled calmly, “Am I that scary?”
“It’s not scary, it’s awe-inspiring. So people in the company said that Ms. Mo had today’s achievents at such a young age relied on her family. But I don’t think so! Those of us who work under your leadership know that your achievents are genuine, and it is the result of your talent and unremitting efforts. That’s why we respect you more than others. Seriousness is your attitude at work, and strictness is what you demand of yourself. Otherwise, how can you convince other people in the company? So I’d like to drink this toast to your dedication. We must learn from you and work together to make the investnt departnt stronger! ”
Obviously, he was flattering Mo Fei, but he made it sound like it was a fact. This kind of flattering trick was very common in the office, but Mo Fei obviously didn’t buy it. Despite the passionate speech of Old Black, she still had a tepid smile on her face.
Mo Fei took a small sip of wine, signaled everyone to sit, and said, “In the company, I am the general manager of the investnt departnt; but outside the company, I hope everyone can treat as a friend. Therefore, please don’t feel nervous because I am here.
“In other words, the person who feels nervous should be . In private, I’m an introvert. I rarely participate in gatherings of this nature. If Chu Nan did not insist on asking to co, I probably still would not be able to find out my image in everyone’s mind. Regarding this, I indeed did not do a great job. I am too strict and only think about work in the company. If I have the opportunity in the future, I will pay attention to communicating with everyone more.”
‘I insisted on asking you to co? You clearly took the initiative to follow , alright?!’ I smiled bitterly. Whether Mo Fei was introverted or extroverted, probably only she herself knew about it… But there was one fact that I could not deny, and that was, Mo Fei no longer distanced herself from other people or was as wary of others as she used to. She started to communicate and get along with others. This was definitely a good sign. It proved that she was stepping out of the shadow of her father’s death.
Her modest response was naturally greeted by everyone’s flattery. Perhaps it was really because Mo Fei lowered herself, everyone felt relaxed.
Xiao Sun laughed and said, “Miss Xue, you have not answered Fanlin’s question yet, do you have anyone you like?”
Song Jia could not stand their vulgar expression and interject, “Sun Zhe, you guys, why are you so interested in the private affairs of other girls?”
The reason why Elder Sister Liu did not go ho to take care of Kang Kang was that she was afraid of those n saying or doing sothing that would ruin the image of the general operation team in front of Mo Fei. So hearing what Sun Zhe said, she also said in a helpless tone, “It is exactly because they are guys, that they are interested in a girl’s affair. Sigh, but you guys are really boring.”
Mo Fei naturally did not like the frivolous attitude of those n, but she still chose to be silent. There was no doubt that she and Liusu were sowhat interested in this question too.
“Can I not answer it?” Ziyuan was silent for a while. In this short while, everyone was holding their breath. It seed that everyone could tell that she was struggling to make up her mind. She turned her head slightly, only to see that Mo Fei was looking at her curiously.
She hurriedly looked away and then politely declined to answer the question, “This question is very personal, so please forgive , I don’t want to answer it.”
Although she didn’t answer it, her answer was already obvious. If Ziyuan did not have anyone in her heart, why would she choose to avoid answering? Mo Fei, Liusu, and Dong Xiaoye all fell into deep thought, and all the single n at the table were disappointed.
I felt a little complicated. I didn’t know if Ziyuan was telling the truth or not. Originally, I thought she would deny it…
Then I noticed that Dongfang Lianren was carefully observing my expression. I hurriedly concealed my feeling and asked, “What’s wrong? Is there sothing on my face?”
Dongfang’s face blushed, and she turned her head in a panic, “No, no.”
This bratty girl was the sa as Ziyuan, both of their reactions confused .
There was no way Ziyuan did not notice that everyone’s eyes were glancing between us suspiciously. On the surface, she seed to be calm, but I could tell that she was trying to hide sothing.
“So, Ziyuan, do you really have soone in your heart?” Dong Xiaoye was not trying to be nosy, she clearly had so other purpose.
Ziyuan had obviously guessed that soone would ask her this, so she replied vaguely, “Mhm, but… it’s just unrequited love.”
Unrequited love… This was the word that appeared in the letter she left to five years ago…
