The next day was a Friday. Mu Yuchen and Xi Xiaye woke up early in the morning.
The whole company would go on holiday starting that afternoon. Just like most other companies, they would take a break until the eighth day of the New Year. Work would resu on the eighth day.
There were so things that needed to be packed in the office. After so consideration, Xi Xiaye decided to go back to the office.
Su Chen and Zhou Zimo were going over in the evening. Sis Wang and the others were on a break too, so they had to prepare dinner for themselves. These things were usually handled by Mu Yuchen who had a rather unusual way of living.
Usually, people like him would have a lot of servants at ho as things were in the Mu Residence. There were about a dozen of them including the housekeeper and the maids.
Wang Hui suggested to shift several servants from Mu Residence over, but Mu Yuchen had rejected the notion. Xi Xiaye did not say anything since she was used to staying alone anyway.
The building was sowhat empty when she arrived at the office. Most of the employees had left after they were done packing up their stuff.
Inside the office, Xi Xiaye was reorganizing her docunts on the table and putting them into her briefcase. Her assistant Xiao i knocked on the door and ca in with a gift box.
“Director Xi!” Xiao i smiled at her.
Xi Xiaye raised her head and said in a calm tone, “Haven’t you gone back ho yet?”
Xiao i laughed and then placed the item in her hands onto the table. “Soon! I’ve booked my ticket and will be leaving this afternoon. Director Xi, Manager Fang’s assistant from the PR Departnt sent this over. It’s a reward for you. Director, your reward has the top amount among all! When Vice President Liu announced your na, everyone was so excited. Director Liu was also stunned!”
Reward?
Xi Xiaye glanced at the gift box on the table. She rembered what Mu Yuchen had told her the day before, so she nodded. “Mmm, I got it. Please thank Manager Fang for .”
“Noted, Director!” Xiao i replied with a smile. Suddenly, she glanced at Xi Xiaye and saw she looked just like her usual self, so she asked carefully, “Director Xi, did you take a look at the finance and entertainnt papers today?”
“What finance and entertainnt papers?” Xi Xiaye looked doubtful, but her hands did not stop working as she tidied all the books on the table into the bookshelf behind.
“Well, it’s about what happened last night... It seems to have caused a huge fuss. It took up a whole section and two popular weekly papers did several pages on it,” Xiao i replied with a frown. She seed curious and asked, “Director Xi, I think Xi Xinyi was pretty cocky. Chairman Mu asked her to sing and she gave so many excuses. Who does she think she is? Not only did she make Chairman Mu unhappy, but people like her have no right to even talk to him. Everyone knows that he dislikes dealing with models and celebrities, yet she thought she was different!”
Xi Xiaye frowned at Xiao i’s words. Weekly newspapers? She thought the man said he had chased them away.
What was happening?
After a brief mont of silence, she sort of caught the gist of it, so she looked at Xiao i and laughed. “I didn’t expect you guys to be so loyal towards Chairman Mu.”
“Of course, the one who pays is our boss. Not only is Chairman Mu the boss of Glory World, but he’s our Prince Charming. He’s so elegant and charismatic. There’s a saying...”
“Low-profile, luxurious, a true gentleman?”
Xi Xiaye went along with her when she saw Xiao i’s besotted expression.
Xiao i quickly nodded her head. “That’s right! That’s it! All the female employees are in love with him. Xi Xinyi was almost killed by the re sight of everyone after Chairman Mu left! Hmm, Director Xi, are you... related to Chairman Mu? Well, everyone’s been saying that he and you...”
As expected, the way people looked at her today was sowhat different.
She gave it so thought and simply said, “Relatives.”
Xi Xiaye then continued with what she was working on. Was that wrong? Being a married couple was a type of relative relationship, was it not?
“Relatives?” Xiao i looked at Xi Xiaye in shock, she then grinned. “Director, is Chairman Mu your cousin?”
Cousin?
Xi Xiaye was stunned. She stared at Xiao i but did not reply. Xiao i thought she defaulted her answer by not saying anything. However, when she was about to leave the room, Xi Xiaye’s voice reached her. “Don’t just guess randomly. Get the magazines you ntioned just now.”
“Okay, Director!” Xiao i stuck her tongue out cheekily. After a while, she ca back with two newspapers.
“Alright, you should go back now. Happy New Year to you. This is a gift for you. We’ve worked pretty hard, so go and relax for now. Things will get tougher after the holidays.”
“Thank you, Director. You should go back ho soon too. Happy New Year!” Xiao i thanked her and left the room with a big smile.
Xi Xiaye sat down in her office chair and started reading the papers.
A whole section discussed what happened last night, but it was mostly about how Xi Xinyi put up such an atrocious attitude. There were also several comnts from other celebrities revealing so gossip about Xi Xinyi.
At the end, the article also speculated that Glory World Corporation might decide to remove Xi Xinyi as the ambassador for Imperial Sky Jewellery City.
Xi Xiaye could already guess where these negative news about Xi Xinyi ca from. If not, why would all of them be targeted towards Xi Xinyi?
There were also ntions of Xi Xinyi and Han Yifeng’s matter. Xi Xiaye then rembered that today was their engagent ceremony!
She went silent and threw the papers away into the dustbin. Just as she was about to leave with her briefcase, her office phone rang.
“Hello?” She picked it up swiftly.
It was a call from the receptionist on the first floor.
“Hello? Is this Director Xi?”
“I’m Xi Xiaye.”
“Hi, Director Xi. There’s a Mr. Xi here asking for you. Would you be able to et him?”
