"It's nothing."
As soon as Li Xiyu said this, Wang Shu and Chen Zhu were both stunned.
Chen Zhu thought: Is Li Xiyu just pretending to be a nice person?
Wang Shu thought: The look on the boss lady's face doesn't seem like it's nothing.
Wang Shu didn't dare to be negligent and asked again, "Are you really okay?"
What he meant was that if Li Xiyu really encountered something, she could just say it boldly. She was the boss lady and the largest shareholder of the company. The whole company belonged to her!
However, Li Xiyu still firmly shook her head and said, "We were just discussing the casting."
Chen Zhu of course took the opportunity and said, "Yes, we were just discussing the roles. We just got a bit loud."
Since Wang Shu and Li Juan couldn't get anything out of them, they had to leave with a bellyful of doubts.
Halfway through, Wang Shu still felt something was off. He instructed Li Juan, who was following behind, "Later, you go and privately ask what exactly happened. We can't let the boss lady be wronged. If we can't handle this well, Mr. Song will come to deal with us."
Li Juan nodded and agreed.
On the other hand, because Li Xiyu didn't expose her, Chen Zhu didn't know what expression to use to face Li Xiyu.
Li Xiyu said, "I didn't expose you because I'm not afraid of you. Li Juan is my friend. I just don't want her to be sad. However, if there's a next time, I definitely won't let you off easily."
What Li Xiyu meant by "won't let you off easily" was in the physical sense.
In ancient times, the way to resolve disputes was very simple. Just have a fight.
How could Chen Zhu withstand such a provocation? She was just about to step forward and have another verbal fight with Li Xiyu when she was held back by everyone.
When it was time for lunch, Li Xiyu was ostracized again. She was no longer like before, thinking that it was because she wasn't sociable enough when being ostracized and trying hard to get along well with everyone. She carried her lunch box alone and went up to the rooftop to eat.
Fortunately, she didn't go to eat with everyone.
Her lunch used to be prepared by Sister Liu, so it was just average. Since Song Yian had come back, he would occasionally call her to have lunch with him at noon, so Sister Liu didn't prepare lunch for her anymore.
However, Song Yian was really busy. He didn't have time to have lunch with her every noon. Just like today, because he had received Li Xiangping and Jiang Yongfeng in the morning and got delayed, he hadn't finished his work. So he had to order takeout for Li Xiyu.
She didn't know which restaurant Song Yian had ordered from. Anyway, as soon as Li Xiyu opened the box, she saw a fried egg fried in the shape of a heart. No matter how naive Li Xiyu was, she knew what the heart shape meant in modern times. Seeing this shape, she quickly closed the box.
At this time, Li Juan walked over. She had actually seen the heart-shaped fried egg. "Oh, our Mr. Song has this side too."
Putting a heart in the lunch box. What an old-fashioned way. Only our old-fashioned Mr. Song could do such a thing.
Li Xiyu blushed and quickly explained, "He must have made a mistake when ordering, or the restaurant made a mistake."
"I'm familiar with this. It's a lovers' set meal launched by the restaurant."
"Lovers' set meal?"
"Yeah. The restaurant divides the lunch boxes into men's and women's. The food is almost the same. They just use this as a gimmick to make money."
Hearing the word "lovers", Li Xiyu's face turned even redder.
What on earth was Song Yian doing? He didn't seem so unreliable on normal days. What was going on recently?
Li Xiyu decided to go and ask him for an explanation. However, because she had added many people for work and the work messages in the WeChat group bombarded her every day, Song Yian had been pushed to the back. Li Xiyu couldn't find Song Yian. She remembered the nickname she had given him, "Violent Man". So she opened the search page on her phone and typed in the character "violent".
At this time, Li Juan also started to pry into what had happened in the meeting hall this morning.
"What exactly happened this morning? I'm so curious. Tell me, okay?"
When Li Juan asked this question, Li Xiyu's mind was instantly in a mess. While taking a photo of the lunch box with the heart-shaped fried egg, she absent-mindedly replied, "N... nothing happened."
"Nothing happened and you're so angry? "Actually, Li Juan was really curious. Li Xiyu's temper had improved a lot. She rarely got angry with others.
Of course, if it were according to her previous temper, those who dared to quarrel with her would probably have been fired long ago.
Li Xiyu glanced at Li Juan. After thinking for a while, she still asked, "Um... is there something you haven't told me?"
Li Juan was very confused. Something?
All she did was secretly pass messages for Song Yian. But Li Xiyu already knew about this in the capital. She had been angry about it for a long time. Li Juan apologized and admitted her mistake before she managed to coax Li Xiyu.
If it wasn't this matter, Li Juan thought that she had nothing to hide from Li Xiyu.
Li Xiyu hesitated to speak. It took her a long time to stammer out, "I heard that... you're getting very close to General Manager Wang."
" Oh." Li Juan was such a smart person. Hearing this, she understood. "So they were gossiping about this."
Actually, Li Juan had heard this rumor a long time ago. She didn't take it to heart at all.
To be able to reach the position of Song Yian's chief secretary, she had experienced a lot of such rumors.
So, what surprised Li Juan more was that Li Xiyu actually quarreled with them because of this matter.
Was Li Xiyu standing up for her?
This boss lady was still as straightforward as before, but much cuter than before.
"Don't worry. I don't take these words to heart at all."
Li Xiyu was afraid that Li Juan was forcing a smile. She explained, "Don't worry. I think you and Wang Shu are quite a good match. If you really have feelings for each other, you don't have to care about others' gazes. You can be together. If you don't have feelings for each other, it's okay for friends to go drinking and eating together. Let those who like to make unfounded speculations talk. We're upright. We should just go our own way. Why should we care about others' faces?"
Li Juan smiled and said, "Actually, what they said is not entirely false."
"Ah?"
"Maybe they saw me and Wang Shu go to eat hot pot with malatang. It's all because of General Manager Song. He doesn't like people eating such smelly food in the office. So we're like siblings in trouble. We can only eat a few more meals when we're not working with General Manager Song."
"So you two..."
"Besides eating hot pot with malatang, there's no overstepping behavior." However, having said this, Li Juan added, "Of course, everything depends on fate."
Li Xiyu nodded. She understood.
Only then did she start to send the photo she had just taken to Song Yian and asked, "What kind of lunch box is this?"
But this small action caused a big misunderstanding.
