Fang Xu also came over. He originally came to report work to Xiao Yu, but when he heard that he could have a free meal at noon, he happily followed behind Xiao Yu.
At this moment, Xiao Yu was standing outside the hotel private room. After taking a quick look inside, he didn't seem to be planning to go in.
Fang Xu looked inside curiously. His eyes quickly swept over the people in the private room, but he didn't see the person who was supposed to be here. Suddenly, he understood why Xiao Yu was standing at the door without going in.
Ye Yanxi didn't come.
Originally, Xiao Yu had the sudden idea to invite everyone in the meeting room to dinner because of Ye Yanxi. Unexpectedly, she wasn't here.
Fang Xu actually had his own little plan. He wanted to watch the show between Xiao Yu and Ye Yanxi, playing the roles of boss and employee. He could even stir things up a bit and see how they interacted.
It seemed that there was no show today.
But they had already come. It was impossible not to go in. It was already one o'clock and his stomach was growling.
The director of the business department immediately greeted them with a beaming face. "President, please come in. We're just ordering food."
Xiao Yu remained motionless.
Fang Xu had anticipated what Xiao Yu would say. He was definitely going to decline.
Without Ye Yanxi here, Xiao Yu would surely find it boring. Why would he stay here and have dinner with them? He might even turn around and leave without giving the Italian client representative any face.
If Xiao Yu left, Fang Xu would definitely have to follow. It would be even more embarrassing for him to stay here alone.
Thinking of this, Fang Xu pushed Xiao Yu enthusiastically. "President, let's sit down quickly."
During this time, Fang Xu hardly dared to look at Xiao Yu's expression. Even so, he still felt Xiao Yu's sharp gaze on him, as if he was being tortured. But for the sake of a full meal, he had to endure it.
Pushed into the private room by Fang Xu, Xiao Yu didn't decline anymore. Since he was already inside, it would be unreasonable to turn around and leave. So, he had to sit in the seat that the business director had reserved for him.
Coincidentally, the person sitting next to Xiao Yu was He Qiuyang.
This was also He Qiuyang's plan. As soon as she came in, she deliberately left the seat next to her empty, waiting for Xiao Yu. When she saw Fang Xu behind Xiao Yu, she was a little worried that Fang Xu would take this seat. Now, seeing that Xiao Yu was sitting next to her, she couldn't help but feel extremely happy.
Everyone handed the menu to Xiao Yu in unison. He only glanced at it for two seconds before throwing it to Fang Xu.
Fang Xu wasn't polite at all. He happily took the menu. He came here just to have a big feast, so he skillfully ordered his favorite dishes. Of course, he also ordered a few dishes that Xiao Yu liked.
After the waiter took down the order and poured tea for everyone, he left.
Just then, He Qiuyang took this great opportunity. She immediately smiled politely at Xiao Yu and introduced herself. "President, hello. I'm He Qiuyang, the translator for this event."
As she spoke, He Qiuyang's usual calmness disappeared. She felt a little nervous and uneasy.
She had never been this close to Xiao Yu before. She could see his perfectly curved side profile just by looking up. She also found that he was even more attractive than in the photos. His noble and cold aura was unparalleled. Especially his deep eyes, three-dimensional features, and sharp and smooth lines. His tightly pursed lips were so alluring. Just like this, He Qiuyang's heart started beating faster again, and she was deeply infatuated.
She deliberately softened her voice and added a hint of charm, thinking that Xiao Yu would at least reply to her.
However, after waiting for a while, she saw that Xiao Yu had no intention of answering her. He didn't even give her a glance.
Did he not hear her because her voice was a little soft due to nervousness?
Thinking of this, He Qiuyang raised her voice again. "President, hello. I..."
He Qiuyang's voice wasn't really soft. Fang Xu, who was sitting next to her, could hear her clearly. How could Xiao Yu not hear? It was just that Xiao Yu didn't want to talk to her. This woman just didn't know how to read the situation and was really annoying.
So, Fang Xu suddenly spoke up. "Hey, wasn't there also Translator Ye in your meeting room today? Why didn't she come for dinner?"
The business director immediately looked at He Qiuyang. "I was just wondering about that. Didn't you say you called Translator Ye to inform her? When will she arrive?"
Why did everyone keep mentioning Ye Yanxi when she wasn't here? She, He Qiuyang, was right here, but they still always asked about Ye Yanxi.
She was very unhappy in her heart and hated Ye Yanxi even more. But in front of everyone, she could only suppress her dissatisfaction. She smiled and said, "Xiao Ye said she still had some work to do. I told her to come here right away after she finished, but she said she wouldn't come and told us not to wait for her."
She lied casually, but He Qiuyang still had a gentle and smiling expression. To others, it seemed like the truth.
The director shook his head. He seemed a little dissatisfied with Ye Yanxi's behavior. "Xiao Ye is really. Why can't she do her work later?"
He Qiuyang immediately seized the opportunity to criticize Ye Yanxi. "Xiao Ye has such a strange personality. She's always out of place with our colleagues in the business department. It's okay that she didn't come. Why should we let her spoil our mood?"
Fang Xu frowned and glanced at He Qiuyang.
This He Qiuyang seemed to be a complicated person. She was so bold that she dared to speak ill of Ye Yanxi in front of Xiao Yu.
The other colleagues were obviously very angry and dissatisfied after hearing what He Qiuyang said. But with so many people around, including the president, they didn't dare to say anything. They also didn't want to leave a bad impression on the Italian client representative.
After He Qiuyang finished speaking, there was a moment of silence. No one said much. Just then, the waiter opened the door and came in to serve the dishes.
Xiao Yu, who had been ignoring He Qiuyang, suddenly broke the silence. He asked with a half - curious tone, "Oh? You said that Translator Ye has a strange personality and is out of place with everyone. How strange is her personality?"
Feeling Xiao Yu's gaze, He Qiuyang, who was drinking water, almost spat it out. She finally managed to swallow it, but she felt like there was a fishbone in her throat.
When she looked up at Xiao Yu, she saw his extremely handsome face facing her. His cold eyes were bottomless, staring directly at her. For a moment, He Qiuyang felt a little panicked.
For some reason, she felt very guilty when facing his deep eyes. She felt that everything was exposed in front of him.
During the serving of the dishes, the atmosphere among the other colleagues became lively. They were all chatting and laughing.
At this moment, He Qiuyang hated Ye Yanxi to the core. She immediately made up some lies to deceive Xiao Yu. "President, it's like this. Ever since she joined the company, she's taken a lot of photos of you. Her intentions are obviously not good. And in her daily work, she always likes to order her colleagues to pour water for her or do other things for her. But because her translation work is relatively good, Sister Yang always protects her. Naturally, others don't dare to say anything."
After saying this, He Qiuyang let out a sigh of relief. She thought that Xiao Yu's impression of Ye Yanxi would be very bad. If he fired Ye Yanxi, then in the future... there would be no one to threaten her.
"Really?" Xiao Yu's tightly pursed lips suddenly curled into a smile, exuding a charming aura.
He Qiuyang suddenly felt a little dazed by this smile. She thought that Xiao Yu believed her words and quickly nodded. "Yes. I sit next to her, so I know her things quite well."
Hearing this, Xiao Yu's lips curled up slightly again. He Qiuyang felt a flutter in her heart. "There are such employees in the company."
He Qiuyang immediately nodded again, feeling secretly happy. She didn't know that Fang Xu, who was sitting next to Xiao Yu, was sweating for her.
There were really all kinds of strange people in the world. She was just asking for trouble.
Not to mention that the person she was talking about was Ye Yanxi. Since she was like this, Fang Xu couldn't even help her if he wanted to. Moreover, not only did Xiao Yu have an opinion about her words, but Fang Xu also thought that He Qiuyang was really too much.
Thinking of this, Fang Xu stole a glance at Xiao Yu. From the curve of his lips, he could tell that Xiao Yu was unhappy. Not to mention the coldness in his eyes.
Xiao Yu always looked serious and cold and didn't like to smile. But sometimes, he could be seen with his lips slightly curled up. Most of the time, it was a sneer.
People who didn't know him well might think that he was smiling because he was happy. But actually...
"President, please don't mind my words. Although Xiao Ye has a strange personality and does things that make her colleagues angry but dare not speak out, because of her translation ability, the manager and Sister Yang always take good care of her on weekdays. So, they just let her do these things. I'm just stating my own opinion and have no other intentions." He Qiuyang added another fire. Her words were very appropriate, but it was actually a real slander.
Sister Yang. Yes. If it weren't for that old woman's favoritism, Ye Yanxi wouldn't be so successful. Every time there was a good project, it would be given to Ye Yanxi. She didn't take He Qiuyang seriously at all.
Xiao Yu curled his lips slightly again and casually replied with an "um".
Seeing that he didn't say anything else, He Qiuyang was very unsure. She didn't know what this "um" meant. Would he really fire Ye Yanxi from the company?
He Qiuyang wanted to add more fuel to the fire, but the business director called her over there. It seemed that he had something to ask her. So, He Qiuyang didn't have a chance to talk to Xiao Yu anymore. She had to go and deal with the business director.
During the whole meal, Xiao Yu had a gloomy face. After a while, he suddenly looked at Fang Xu on one side. "Check what she's done to Xiao Xi."
Fang Xu glanced at He Qiuyang, who was chatting and laughing with the business director. "Don't worry, President. I'll take care of this."
It seemed that someone was going to be in trouble, but she was still happily proud of herself.
In the company, Ye Yanxi was working overtime. After all the materials were printed, she went to the employee canteen for dinner. Just as she returned to the office, someone came to find her.
"Xiao Ye, there's a Miss He Man downstairs in the lobby looking for you."
Why did the He family members like to come to the company to look for her?
