Qi Ye was taken aback by her retort. He raised both hands in surrender. "I'll go out and make you a bowl of zhajiangmian. I just learned a new recipe. You must try it."
After saying that, he stroked her hair and winked at Zhang Wan standing beside.
The latter nodded, and only then did he really walk out.
Xu Tingyu caught a glimpse of their interaction from the corner of her eye, but she didn't care at all.
After all, caring was of no use. It was better to save what could be saved first.
As soon as the video call connected, Shu Shu spoke first. "Sister Xu, how are you?"
She had been so anxious these days that she couldn't eat or sleep well. She was worried about Xu Tingyu's safety and had to deal with the crisis in the company. As a result, she had become haggard.
Xu Tingyu could tell, but now was not the time for a reunion. Zhang Wan was still standing beside, watching.
So she smiled slightly. "I'm fine. How's the company now? Tell me in detail."
Her voice was steady, and her expression was as calm as ever.
A Xing and Shu Shu felt a little relieved and briefly described the situation.
The most serious problem at present was that the concert tour had been boycotted, and people were demanding refunds.
Xu Tingyu frowned.
The concert tour was the hard work of everyone, but now it was being boycotted because of her.
She immediately made a decision. "Ask the public relations department to draft a statement saying that due to personal reasons, I will temporarily withdraw from the concert tour and step down as the president of the company."
As soon as she said this, not only were the two people on the other end of the video surprised, but even Zhang Wan was taken aback.
Wasn't she very opposed to hiring a professional manager just now?
Why did she suddenly change her mind?
Zhang Wan became vigilant, fearing that she was up to something.
"Sister Xu, the company is your hard work. If you withdraw now, won't it confirm those rumors?"
Shu Shu's voice came from the video, hitting Xu Tingyu's heart like stones.
But she had no choice.
Whether it was the influence of public opinion or Qi Ye's threat, leaving the company now was the best option.
Moreover, leaving on her own initiative was different from Qi Ye arranging a professional manager for her.
"The company is my hard work and also yours. This is the best choice for now. Let's take it one step at a time."
"Moreover, it's impossible for me to continue participating in the concert tour for the time being. Just announce it like this."
"The company will be temporarily managed by the two of you. I will have a video call with you every Tuesday."
"The next performance will go ahead as scheduled. Even if no one buys a ticket, don't cancel it. As for the refund matters, just follow the regulations."
Xu Tingyu didn't hesitate at all.
Although Qi Ye hadn't agreed to let her have a video call with Shu Shu and the others once a week.
But it didn't matter. She would fight for it.
When the meeting was about to end, Shu Shu couldn't help but ask again. "Sister Xu, I heard that President Qi has lost his memory. Is it true?"
Actually, she wanted to ask more about the matter of joining hands with Qi Ye to kill Qi Shifeng.
She and A Xing couldn't believe it was true.
The Xu Tingyu they knew was the most honest and kind person and would never do such a cruel thing.
If she wanted to fight for custody, she would surely do it openly. How could she use such means?
"I'm not sure either, but it has nothing to do with me. We've already divorced, and I'll marry Qi Ye at the end of this month."
When Xu Tingyu said these words, she showed no emotion at all, just like a heartless machine.
Shu Shu visibly froze. After a while, she said, "Then... can we go to the wedding?"
They didn't know each other when Xu Tingyu got married last time.
Now, no matter what, even if it was a wedding despised by the world, as Xu Tingyu's friends, they should attend.
Xu Tingyu's eyes lit up, but her expression didn't change much.
That's right. It was her wedding. Why couldn't she invite a few of her friends?
If Qi Ye didn't agree, she could use "moral kidnapping" against him.
"The time is rather tight, but you are all very important people to me. So of course I hope you can come."
"Okay, I'll discuss it with Qi Ye again. After it's confirmed, I'll ask him to send you the invitations."
"By the way, if you feel anything wrong in the operation, you can contact Chen Yan. After all, he has rich experience and is also our shareholder."
She glanced at the time and quickly said a few more words.
She hoped they could understand what she meant.
After the video call ended, Zhang Wan came over to collect the computer. She looked at Xu Tingyu intently. "I thought you were very averse to the wedding."
At least, she had been very unconcerned before, but now she suddenly invited her friends to the wedding.
It was hard not to suspect her ultimate purpose.
"You thought? Who do you think you are to speculate about me with your own thoughts?"
This time, Xu Tingyu wasn't as agitated as she was during the day. Instead, she looked at Zhang Wan with a playful look in her eyes.
Her eyes hadn't fully swollen down yet, so Shu Shu had been looking at her worriedly during the video call.
But even so, when she looked at Zhang Wan like this, she still gave people an overwhelming sense of oppression.
Zhang Wan stopped packing the computer and then said, "You don't have to be so hostile to me. As long as you are really good to the boss, I will be absolutely loyal to you."
She had lost her temper during the day and even quarreled with Xu Tingyu.
Now that she had calmed down, she was breaking out in a cold sweat.
Fortunately, Xu Tingyu hadn't immediately complained to the boss, giving her some room to maneuver.
"I don't need your loyalty, Zhang Wan. If I were you, I would never stay by a man's side like this."
"Either I have no feelings for him and just treat it as a job."
"Or I will fight for him wholeheartedly and will never help him marry another woman."
She tried to understand Zhang Wan but failed.
"Now you're neither willing to give up nor brave enough to resist. You just secretly try to provoke me, right?"
During the day, her mind had been preoccupied with Qi Shifeng's memory loss, and she had really fallen into Zhang Wan's trap.
But now that she had completely calmed down, she naturally wouldn't be caught in the trap again.
Zhang Wan subconsciously denied it. "I didn't."
"If you didn't, you wouldn't have said that just now. After all, my no longer being averse to the wedding is good news for Qi Ye, isn't it?"
"You seem to be expecting me to make a big scene, give myself up, and then be found out by Qi Ye in such a mess and kicked out of the house."
"But you don't seem to know him very well. If I really give up on myself and keep making a ruckus, he will only be more nervous about me."
She said this not to show off her status in Qi Ye's heart.
But she knew that the more she made a scene, the more proud Qi Ye would be.
After all, isn't it more fulfilling to snatch something from someone else?
On the contrary, her current indifference towards Qi Shifeng and her no longer being so repulsed by the wedding might make Qi Ye feel bored.
Because then, the devil would have no sense of accomplishment.
