Gu Sisi had been quite angry before, but now her gloomy mood suddenly lifted.
Right, she was just following the company's arrangement. All she needed to do was her job well and didn't have to care about others' opinions.
"Yang Qian, are you saying I framed her?" Peng Die was dissatisfied, with anger in her eyes.
"I'm just telling the truth," Yang Qian replied seriously without backing down. "I believe Sisi has the ability to handle this project well."
"Fine, fine, fine!" Peng Die said several "fine"s in a row, with a sarcastic look on her face. "Gu Sisi, don't forget how many people are involved in this project. They were all trained by me. How many do you think you can keep?"
After saying that, she gave a warning look at the other two people, who were also part of the project. The meaning was self - evident.
After deciding to take over the project, Gu Sisi returned to her office and immediately started organizing the materials.
Half of the previous team members had left, mostly those who had a good relationship with Peng Die on a daily basis. Some who had always disliked Peng Die chose to stay.
Gu Sisi added some new people to the team, and the whole team got busy.
Just before getting off work, Wen Xuanyang appeared in her office, looking a bit dejected. "Sisi, I've quit my job."
He was holding a cardboard box in his hand, filled with some personal belongings.
Gu Sisi was a bit surprised. Wen Xuanyang was her senior and had joined the company two years earlier than her. He had a good position and treatment.
"Did Senior Sister Wanru agree to your resignation?"
She had been so busy these days that she had almost forgotten about this couple.
It seemed she really needed to give her brain a boost.
"Wanru has also quit. I'm here to pack my stuff today," Wen Xuanyang said softly. Although a bit disappointed, his eyes were still as gentle as when they first met.
After all, he was the person she had once liked and she had once made an unsuccessful confession to him. Gu Sisi's smile was a bit forced.
"Are you... going on a honeymoon?"
Wen Xuanyang shook his head, his expression becoming a bit complicated. "It's because something happened in my family."
"Oh, I see."
After a few simple words, Gu Sisi ran out of topics. She lowered her head and stared at her computer, feeling a bit sad.
Wen Xuanyang didn't leave immediately. He frowned tightly, looking very conflicted. "Sisi, actually, I want to say sorry to you..."
"Senior, what are you talking about? You haven't done anything wrong. Why do you need to say sorry?"
Gu Sisi interrupted him. "Senior, I'll bless you and Wanru. I hope you'll be happy together forever."
"Sisi..." Seeing that she didn't respond, Wen Xuanyang was a bit anxious. He took a step forward and reached out his hand.
"Sisi, this is the new project plan. Take a look," just then, someone came in and put the document on Gu Sisi's desk.
Gu Sisi looked up. "Just leave it. I'll find you after I've read it. You can go and get busy first."
After the colleague left, Gu Sisi picked up the materials and flipped through a few pages. Wen Xuanyang coughed twice to attract her attention again. "Sisi."
"Huh?" Gu Sisi suddenly looked up, almost forgetting that there was still someone there.
Wen Xuanyang felt a bit bitter. Gu Sisi used to always follow him around, but now he seemed to be invisible when standing in front of her.
"Sisi, I'd like... to invite you to dinner sometime, just the two of us."
"Sure, okay," Gu Sisi's answer was concise. Her mind was still on the document.
"Okay, I'll leave first," Wen Xuanyang smiled helplessly and left with the cardboard box in his arms.
As soon as he walked out of the office, Zhao Wanru rushed over. "Xuanyang, why did it take so long? I've been looking for you everywhere..."
Halfway through her words, her voice suddenly stopped. She looked at the sign on the office door. "Gu Sisi?"
Wen Xuanyang's eyes dodged a bit. "Yeah, I came to say goodbye to my junior sister. Let's go," he said and then pulled Zhao Wanru away.
He didn't know why he had come to find Gu Sisi either.
