Chapter 54: Chapter 54 Jealousy Turns Abnormal_1
Downstairs.
Xia Qingtian was scooping soup in the kitchen, holding the bowl, but she was preoccupied with the conversation with Shen Yaxuan.
She was not sure if it was her illusion.
She always had the feeling that Shen Yaxuan was deliberately evading her questions or was trying to probe her in the opposite direction. In short, she didn’t get the answer she wanted!
If he was indeed the man from that night, he should have been surprised when she asked about the tattoo, why did he react differently?
So far, she had only seen tattoos on Bo Jingyan’s body, and she was also invited by him that night…
Could she have made a mistake?
The man that night might be Bo Jingyan, but he might have also arranged a eting with Shen Yaxuan, hence it was Shen Yaxuan’s room.
If that’s the case, all she has to do is confirm that Shen Yaxuan wasn’t at the hotel that night, or that he doesn’t have that tattoo, and that would confirm her guess!
After all, the only concrete clue she had about the man that night was the tattoo.
“Miss Xia, young master is already in the dining room.”
Just as she was thinking, the butler’s voice suddenly ca from behind, startling her and almost causing her to drop the bowl she was holding.
Pulling her thoughts back, Xia Qingtian held onto the bowl and turned to the butler, nodding, “I know, I’ll be right there.”
After saying so, she turned around, quickly scooped the soup, and headed out with the bowl.
As she entered the dining room, she saw Bo Jingyan looking at her attentively with a cold expression on his face, as if he was in a bad mood.
Xia Qingtian placed the bowl of soup on the table, looked up at Bo Jingyan, and said softly, “Mr. Bo, all the dishes are served.”
Bo Jingyan glanced at her with an icy gaze, took a bite of a piece of at with his chopsticks, tasted a few bites, and then said coldly, “Xia Qingtian, why has the taste of the dishes changed?”
“Ah?” Xia Qingtian was stunned for a while, she looked down at the tempting dishes on the table, and said in confusion, “It didn’t change. I cooked them the sa way as before.”
Bo Jingyan’s eyes sharpened as he looked at her, he spoke with a deep voice, “Well, it seems that soone’s mind has changed. Now they’re treating their work perfunctorily.”
Shen Yaxuan had only visited the mansion twice recently. He had only t her twice.
Only twice, and she was able to laugh and joke with him?
“…”
Xia Qingtian was confused, with a thousand question marks in her heart, she didn’t understand Bo Jingyan’s words.
What did he an by ‘Her mind is restless’?
She recognized all these words, but why did they sound so unfamiliar when he said them?
After Bo Jingyan silently mocked her, he quickly hid his feelings, not wanting her to find out that he was displeased because of her dealings with Shen Yaxuan. His face imdiately resud its usual aloofness, and he began to eat.
Xia Qingtian stood by the side, feeling perplexed.
Seeing that Bo Jingyan stopped talking, she considered his earlier behaviour as a montary glitch and didn’t think much of it.
When Bo Jingyan finished eating, Xia Qingtian suddenly rembered sothing important, and took the opportunity while he was drinking tea to speak.
“Mr. Bo, we were away on a business trip a few days ago and delayed the progress of the cooperation project between the Gu Family and the Bo Family. In the coming days, I need to dedicate all my efforts to this issue, so I’ll be busy. I’m afraid I won’t have much ti to co over and cook. So, I’ll make a batch of dumplings and store them in the fridge. If you’re not comfortable with this, you can get another cook in the anti, is that okay?”
She was doing all of this for him and the Bo Family’s project, he shouldn’t refuse, right?
“…”
Bo Jingyan did not respond, just slightly furrowed his brows, his face did not display any emotional changes, betraying no emotions.
Seeing that he was silent, Xia Qingtian couldn’t figure out his attitude, but she had to handle the project issue properly, so she said, “Mr. Bo, if you don’t say anything, I’ll take it as your approval, okay?”
“…” Bo Jingyan still didn’t speak.
Since Bo Jingyan remained silent, Xia Qingtian could only take it as his acquiescence. She rolled up her sleeves and headed to the kitchen to make dumplings.
Bo Jingyan watched her slender figure, his thin lips curled up slightly, and he let out a cold chuckle. A sly gleam flashed through his eyes, but it disappeared in an instant.
He spent hundreds of millions to invest in the Gu Family’s project, not for the sake of eating dumplings.
…
The next day.
Xia Qingtian got up early, tidied herself up, and then headed to work.
Because Bo Jingyan had personally appointed her to be in charge of the project at the Gu Family, she had to work at the Bo Group until the project was completed.
Upon arriving at the Bo Group, she looked out of the car. The Bo Group’s building was towering and in a busy location. Compared to the Gu Family, they were far superior.
Xia Qingtian entered the building, went straight to the reception, identified herself, and asked for the location of the project departnt.
The receptionist confird her identity through a phone call and then smiled at her, “Miss Xia, your departnt is on the eighth floor of the group building. You can take the elevator on your left directly up there.”
“Thank you.” After saying thanks, Xia Qingtian turned and headed towards the elevator.
It was the peak hour for work, she waited for a while with the employees before taking the elevator.
Once she reached the eighth floor, Xia Qingtian walked in, and was quickly stopped.
“Hold on, you look new, which departnt are you from?”
A sharp female voice rang out from behind.
Xia Qingtian turned around to see a short-haired woman wearing a black office suit and glasses looking at her.
She was taken aback, her eyes dropped to the na card on her chest, which read: Project Manager, Mary.
Knowing her identity, Xia Qingtian quickly raised her head and introduced herself, “Hello, I am the project manager from the Gu Family Amusent Park project, Xia Qingtian.”
“Gu Family?” Mary frowned, thought earnestly for a long ti, but didn’t make sense of it. However, she rembered her na.
Jiang, the assistant, had specifically ntioned that a person nad Xia Qingtian would co to work in the project departnt and asked her to arrange for her work.
So it was her. She didn’t look outstanding. Why did Jiang go out of his way to introduce her?
She eyed Xia Qingtian up and down, then spoke dismissively, “Our president often invests in various company projects. When there are many such projects, small companies tend to be forgotten. Send
a copy of your company’s project proposal, I’ll have a look.”
Xia Qingtian was taken aback, then nodded awkwardly.
So, in the eyes of the Bo Group… The Gu Family is nothing more than an insignificant small company?
Mary looked at her wooden expression, slightly displeased, she pursed her lips, glanced at the desks around her, casually pointed at an empty one, and started to speak.
“I am the manager of the project departnt, you can call
Mary. You’ll be working here during this period. Today, you’ll draft a background report and project plan of your company and send it to .”
Xia Qingtian glanced at the corner desk and quickly responded, “Ok.”
