Tong Yaqi rolled her eyes at Chu Ge, "I asked you first, didn't I? Why are you asking back?"
Chu Ge smiled, "You go ahead. Once you're done, I'll tell you, I promise."
"To be honest..." Tong Yaqi pursed her lips, "I think the way we are now is nice, but it would be better if you weren't Qin Ruojing's husband."
"That's it?"
For Chu Ge, Tong Yaqi's words were not surprising, but he still hoped to hear sothing more from her.
"Yeah, that's it." Tong Yaqi nodded, looking into Chu Ge's eyes, "Your turn. What do you think?"
Chu Ge grinned, raising a hand to scratch his head, "Actually, I think the sa as you."
Tong Yaqi rubbed her forehead in frustration and resignation, "You're ssing with again, aren't you? Whatever I say, you just say you agree with ?"
Chu Ge wore a wry smile that was tinged with warmth as he looked into Tong Yaqi's eyes and shook his head.
"Of course not. That's genuinely how I feel, especially after Qin Ruojing said she hoped I could visit you and spend so ti with you."
"What?" Tong Yaqi was startled and imdiately asked nervously, "Xiaojing said... She really said that? When did she tell you?"
"Why would I lie about sothing like this? She told quite so ti ago. She said you'd lost weight and seed a bit down. Hearing that, honestly, it made feel sorry for both you and her."
"Then... why did it take you so long to co? No calls at all during that ti?"
Chu Ge laughed bitterly, "Because I was torn. If you were a guy and this situation was flipped, you'd see how conflicted you'd feel. Plus, I've been really busy lately, so I haven't reached out."
Tong Yaqi pinched her brow, a wry smile forming on her face, "It is quite the dilemma. So why did you think of today, and even asked to play a ga of billiards with you?"
"Because when I saw your forced smile and clear unhappiness, it pained even more. I wanted to cheer you up, couldn't be bothered to figure out right or wrong anymore. I just went with what I felt was right."
These words ward Tong Yaqi's heart, though outwardly she rolled her eyes at Chu Ge, "Can't you co up with another way to make happy?"
Chu Ge grinned, "Should I tell you a joke? Given your mood earlier, there's no way you'd find it funny."
Tong Yaqi couldn't help but laugh. She had to admit that Chu Ge was right. Given her mood earlier, no matter how good the joke was, she'd still think it was a cold joke.
Although there were still issues that left Chu Ge and Tong Yaqi feeling conflicted, after this conversation, they both felt a lot clearer. Sotis, a little ignorance can be quite a profound state to achieve.
They got dressed and returned to the main office of the President's room, chatting about the recent happenings at Tianqing Company. Once they covered most of that, Chu Ge pondered a bit and decided to organize so benefits for the HR departnt guys. After all, he did have the title of HR Manager, didn't he?
"By the way, I heard you're pretty... strict with the HR staff?"
"What you an is harsh, right? Who complained to you?"
Chu Ge casually asked, and Tong Yaqi imdiately laughed, turning the question back on him.
Hearing Tong Yaqi say that, Chu Ge knew for sure she'd been applying a strict policy on the HR departnt. No wonder Xu Zhen had seed so frustrated and repressed back then.
"Alright, don't worry about who told . Are you thinking of giving them a hard ti? But honestly, your particular attention to the HR departnt, is it because of ?"
Tong Yaqi gave a knowing smile, "You're smart. They just have bad luck. They happen to be under your wing while you're hands-off. Sotis I wonder, if they all quit, would you co back to work?"
Even though Chu Ge had already anticipated this outco, he couldn't help the black lines that ford on his forehead when Tong Yaqi said it aloud.
Won really can be the most devious. Turns out Tong Yaqi had a scheming side too. Unintentionally, he'd ended up putting the HR departnt in a tough spot. He felt genuinely sorry for causing trouble to those guys. It wasn't easy for them to hang in there for so long.
Seeing Chu Ge's mouth twitching, as if he wanted to say sothing but couldn't, Tong Yaqi chuckled again.
"Don't worry. Seeing how well you behaved earlier, I'll start treating your HR departnt pals better from today."
Just when Chu Ge felt relieved for both himself and the HR team, Tong Yaqi suddenly changed her tune, bringing those black lines back to his forehead.
"But how long that will last, I can't say for sure, okay?"
Obviously, this was hoping that Chu Ge would co and chat with her from ti to ti.
Tong Yaqi straightened her clothes, flicked Chu Ge lightly on the forehead, "Alright, President Chu, the ti I squeezed out has almost been used up, so I'll head back first?"
Chu Ge snapped back to reality and was about to nod when he suddenly realized sothing and grabbed Tong Yaqi's hand, "Wait."
Tong Yaqi was just about to get up from the sofa, "Hmm? Does President Chu have any other instructions?"
Chu Ge's eyes spun mischievously, and he chuckled, "Actually, I think, you've been squeezing those brothers in our HR departnt for so long. If suddenly you have no one to squeeze, wouldn't you feel a bit uncomfortable?"
Looking at Chu Ge's mischievous smile, Tong Yaqi was firstly slightly stunned, then the corners of her mouth lifted up.
Tong Yaqi giggled, "What's this? Did so unlucky guy offend our President Chu and make you unhappy? Is President Chu planning to borrow a knife to kill?"
Chu Ge laughed even more happily; dealing with a confidante like Tong Yaqi was comfortable. He hadn't even spoken, and she already guessed the point.
"My dear consort is truly intelligent and insightful; indeed, that is my intention."
"In that case, Your Majesty should issue the decree then? Which treacherous minister should I eliminate? I will certainly not disgrace my mission!"
Chu Ge, in his excitent, played the Emperor again. With Tong Yaqi's cooperation, he was even more pleased. This woman simply knows how to cooperate too well.
"This person, dear consort, you haven't t yet, but without surprise, when you return to your General Manager's office, you'll soon et her. What you need to do is make it impossible for her to continue working at Tianqing, pack up and leave early."
"I humbly accept the imperial decree." Tong Yaqi smiled brilliantly, making a bowing gesture.
Even though Chu Ge's words were vague and mysterious, she already guessed it might be a woman with so kind of relationship with Chu Ge. Based on her understanding of Chu Ge, if the person was a man, Chu Ge would probably deal with it himself.
However, although Tong Yaqi thought of this, she didn't plan to ask more. Whoever this person is, whatever's between this person and Chu Ge, what does it have to do with her?
"By the way, this person has quite a background, you must be careful and consider everything from a work perspective, absolutely don't do anything drastic."
Considering Mu Xiaoting's background, Chu Ge especially reminded her, but his words earned him a roll of the eyes from Tong Yaqi.
"Don't worry, President Chu, do you think I, Tong Yaqi, would handle things like a shouting shrew? I won't say that in helping you chase soone away, I'd be all that above board, but at least I have my principles. I'm sure I won't do any despicable things. In any case, I'll definitely make her leave convinced."
Hearing Tong Yaqi say this, Chu Ge was completely at ease.
Chu Ge raised his right hand, "Then I wish you great success. I'm waiting for your good news?"
Tong Yaqi confident smiled, clapped hands with Chu Ge with a "pop," and turned around and walked out of the president's office.
As she stepped into the executive elevator, Tong Yaqi secretly thought, considering that Chu Ge was so eager to have her gone, what kind of person is about to beco her rival? It's indeed a bit exciting just thinking about it.
The elevator doors opened with a swish, and Tong Yaqi stepped into the corridor. As her high heels clicked on the floor, just as Chu Ge said, two figures appeared at the door of her General Manager's office.
One was the HR departnt's number two, Xu Zhen, and the other... unsurprisingly, was a woman, a young, beautiful woman who exuded a powerful aura even from a distance.
That Chu Ge... just how many romantic debts does he have?
Tong Yaqi looked at Mu Xiaoting from afar and thought helplessly but it didn't affect her good mood. Just like she told Chu Ge earlier, she and Chu Ge were just offering mutual warmth, maintaining a kind of understanding in body and mind. She didn't care how many won Chu Ge had around him.
Of course, as a woman, it would be a lie to say she didn't feel a slight tinge of jealousy, but she wasn't so lovesick young girl, she could completely keep such unnecessary emotions controlled within a minimal range, a slight twinge of jealousy, and it would soon be gone.
Tap, tap, tap...
Tong Yaqi's high heels continued clicking in the hallway, as she got closer to the man and woman in her view, her stride was confident, elegant, poised, with a hint of unyielding coldness lying in wait.
As she got closer, the appearance of these two people beca clearer in her sight.
Xu Zhen's expression at this point was, true to his na, filled with an inexplicable excitent, his eyes seed to shine as if they could glow, and in his hand, he was holding tightly a woman's handbag, clearly belonging to the woman beside him.
After pausing her gaze on that bag, Tong Yaqi was slightly taken aback, glancing sideways at the woman again, hmm, interesting?
