Chapter 22: A Joyous Gathering

Before long, most of the people had arrived.

Captain Wu Qing also showed up.

When he saw Ding Ruola sitting by the window, he wanted to go up and say hello. His girlfriend beside him noticed his gaze.

Seeing how good - looking the other girl was, Li Yage didn't know where her anger came from.

She insisted on coming with Wu Qing today. She wanted to know which little vixen had bewitched Wu Qing.

At home, Wu Qing couldn't talk for three sentences without mentioning that so - called Ruola, Ding something?

Every time Li Yage saw the unknown affection and admiration in Wu Qing's eyes when he talked about her, she felt as if she had eaten a fly.

Since she heard Wu Qing mention "Ruola" at home, he had started working overtime every night. Once, he worked until one o'clock in the morning.

She sent him text messages urging him to come home, but Wu Qing said he wanted to see this girl in the company off because it was too late and he was afraid she might encounter bad guys.

She immediately quarreled with him and threatened to cut her wrist, which made him come back quickly.

Thinking of this, Li Yage bit her lip, and a malicious look flashed in her eyes.

A large table was filled with people, and most of the dishes had been served.

Ding Ruola was sitting next to He Caiying and Ning Qing.

Li Yage and Wu Qing were separated from them by two or three people. She saw her boyfriend looking at that little vixen again.

"Ruola, today's a celebration dinner for you. Thanks to you for the ORI project!"

"Right! Great god! Eat to your heart's content. Hehe."

Colleagues all stood up one after another to toast her.

Everyone knew that after this meal, it would be a farewell, so they didn't want to make the atmosphere sad, so they didn't mention it.

"Yeah, everyone should eat and drink well and be happy! Work hard in the future." Ding Ruola stood up and said with a smile. Just as she was about to raise her glass,

Wu Qing, not far from her, quietly took away her glass and replaced it with a glass of juice.

"Ruola doesn't seem to be able to drink much, does she? Have some juice." Wu Qing said with a smile.

The colleagues around also seemed to just realize: "Right! Great god, drink less. We'll drink and you can have juice."

The whole table was in a harmonious mood.

Li Yage on the side felt very uncomfortable seeing everyone flattering Ding Ruola.

She was, after all, their captain's girlfriend and an "important" member of their partner company.

Why did it seem that she was being ignored now?

The praises and teases she had imagined didn't happen at all. Everyone's attention was on that girl.

Her own boyfriend was also always focusing on her.

She dug her nails into her flesh. Knowing some negative rumors, Li Yage suddenly said in a sarcastic tone: "So this is Miss Ding Ruola! Mr. Gusen's little girlfriend?"

"Miss Ding has achieved so much thanks to Mr. Gusen's help behind the scenes, right? Oh, I forgot there's also Wang Qiang. I heard Wang Qiang was also infatuated with Miss Ding, but later he was fired for some unknown reason..."

Li Yage thought, what great ability could a girl have? She didn't look that special on the outside. Wasn't she just relying on men to get to where she was?

Of course, she didn't know who DIMO was, and she wouldn't believe that the girl in front of her had any extraordinary abilities.

Hearing this, Wu Qing frowned: "Yage, shut up!"

That night, if he had insisted on staying to send Ding Ruola home, the thing with Wang Qiang wouldn't have happened. Thinking of this, a wave of shame welled up in Wu Qing's heart.

Everyone had heard Ding Ruola say that she was married. Now saying that Mr. Gusen and the great god were in a relationship? Didn't this imply that Ding Ruola had used improper means on Gusen to achieve her current success?

Mentioning Wang Qiang again? That was a nightmare in the great god's heart! What on earth was Li Yage's intention?!

Everyone at the table changed their expressions. Since she was Captain Wu's girlfriend, they didn't say anything too harsh. In fact, they didn't know what to say to correct this girl's view of the world!

Just when the atmosphere at the table was about to turn awkward, another person entered the room. The person's arrival made Li Yage's face change immediately.

She put down her glass, changed from her previous arrogance, and immediately stood up, respectfully saying to the newcomer: "Mr. Xu, why are you here..."

Xu Chang'an seemed not to hear Li Yage at all and walked straight towards Ding Ruola.

"DIMO! My idol! How could you have a gathering with the idol and not invite me!"

The middle - aged man in his forties looked at the young people in front of him and grumbled like a resentful woman.

He had also received the news that Ding Ruola was about to leave the company. He rushed here excitedly without even having dinner.

"Um, Mr. Xu, you're here? Weren't you hospitalized? Is your body better?" He Caiying asked carefully.

Since Mr. Xu had a sudden rise in blood pressure during Ding Ruola's finished - product report meeting and was hospitalized, colleagues didn't dare to mention Ruola in front of Mr. Xu.

Unexpectedly, he came here on his own.

Li Yage's face was now ashen. She didn't know Mr. Xu's exact identity, only that he was a respected person whom even her father treated with awe.

Her elder brother in the family wanted to be Mr. Xu's apprentice, but he had waited for almost a month without even seeing the man. Such a big shot was beyond the reach of people like them.

But now, she saw him at a small gathering? And he was coming for this little slut who relied on men to get ahead? ...

Li Yage felt as if she had been slapped in the face and was speechless for a moment.

Ding Ruola, who was busy eating, looked up: "…?"

"Hello, Mr. Xu!" Reacting, Ding Ruola immediately greeted him with a smile and invited Xu Chang'an to sit beside her.

The man's eyes sparkled with a dazzling light. It was his idol!

This was originally a gathering for the young people in the project department. Not only did Li Yage's presence ruin the atmosphere, but the situation changed completely after Mr. Xu came.

The whole table listened respectfully and attentively as Mr. Xu told the "glorious battle history" of the great god DIMO, and there were also a few loyal fans chiming in.

Li Yage added on the side: "Yes, I've long heard that Ruola is extremely intelligent and has an extraordinary aura. I didn't expect to see it for myself today..."

Everyone: "…" Hehe.

The whole table forced out a couple of polite smiles.

All in all, this dinner gathering was quite joyous.

After dinner, it was already late at night. Mr. Xu had gone back. Li Yage felt embarrassed to stay any longer.

The young people in the department stayed behind and started drinking and singing KTV.

The venue was in a mess but very lively.

Nearly twelve o'clock, Ding Ruola, who had drunk some wine, was dizzy and fell on the expressionless Ning Shen with a "happy" look on her face.

"Damn it! Don't let me go to work! Why? ..."

He Caiying and Ning Shen looked at each other, not knowing what she was talking about.

Muttering and scolding, Ding Ruola suddenly saw a familiar figure in front of her.

Ding Ruola got up, rubbed her eyes, saw that it seemed to be Fang Siyan, was stunned for a while... Then she vomited on him.

Fang Siyan, who had forced the news out of Gusen and rushed here in a hurry: "…"

His face was covered with a black line.
