Mu Yuze stared blankly at the meal in front of him, then suddenly let out a soft chuckle. When he smiled, his eyes were so gentle that it seemed as if there were twinkling stars in them.
At this moment, the wind outside blew in through the gap of an open window, just stirring a few tall green plants in the corner.
Even a delicate pothos placed in the corner of Mu Yuze's desk swayed its leaves slightly in the wind.
Mu Yuze felt that his heart was just like these tiny leaves, swaying uncontrollably in the wind.
The smile on his lips became softer and softer. He said softly to Lu Xue, "Thank you."
Lu Xue didn't expect that the thing she did casually would receive such praise from the boss. She quickly replied, "It's just a piece of cake for me!"
Mu Yuze gently stretched out a hand, motioning for Lu Xue to pull out the chair opposite him and sit in front of him.
Then he unpacked the meal right in front of Lu Xue and ate it gracefully.
Lu Xue sat opposite him, feeling a bit constrained.
On the contrary, Mu Yuze seemed oblivious to everything else. He seemed to be particularly satisfied with this meal and ate it up cleanly without leaving a single bit.
Lu Xue stared at Mu Yuze for a while. As if thinking of something, she leaned over gently and said, "Boss, I'd like to make a request to you..."
Mu Yuze looked up at her, and the smile on his lips became even warmer. "Go ahead."
Lu Xue thought for a while and then spoke out what she had been thinking about for some time. "I've been looking for Mr. Chen these days. I visited him several times before but got no results. But the neighbor of Mr. Chen called me the other day and said that Mr. Chen came back, took some things and left. Judging from his situation, he should come back again in the near future. So I may need to ask for leave frequently during this period. I hope the boss can approve it."
Mu Yuze was not surprised at this, and he didn't mind at all.
He nodded gently and said kindly, "Of course. If you need anything, just tell me at any time. I can go with you to visit that Mr. Chen."
Lu Xue quickly shook her head. "That's not necessary. You're so busy with your work. I can't take up your time anymore."
Actually, she felt a bit regretful about the last time when she agreed to let Mu Yuze go with her to visit Mr. Chen.
But at that time, she didn't know how much work Mu Yuze had. It was only after she started her internship in his company that she realized how naive she had been.
Thinking about it, Lu Xue said again, "Once I find Mr. Chen, I may resign from the company. I hope this won't cause you any trouble, right?"
Hearing this, Mu Yuze paused. A cup of coffee was still held between his fingertips.
He lowered his eyes, staring at the ripples on the coffee, but didn't take a sip for a long time.
Would Lu Xue resign from their company once she found that Mr. Chen?
Did this mean that from then on, he would never see that girl standing up and smiling at him in the morning sunlight when he pushed open the door of the office again...
Mu Yuze looked up and sized up Lu Xue. Somehow, he felt a bit reluctant to let her go.
He clearly knew that Lu Xue didn't intend to stay here, but he seemed to hope that she could stay by his side for a longer time.
He kept a straight face for a long time without saying a word.
Lu Xue observed Mu Yuze's expression and felt a bit confused in her heart.
In her opinion, she was just fooling around in this company to get a salary. Because both Mu Yuze and Yan Hua took good care of her, they wouldn't let her do too much work.
Whether she left or not wouldn't have much impact on the overall operation of the company. Maybe it could even relieve the burden on the company to some extent.
But looking at Mu Yuze's frozen expression at this moment, it didn't seem to be what Lu Xue thought. Mu Yuze seemed a bit unhappy.
After a long while, Mu Yuze put down the coffee cup and said expressionlessly, "Since it was Yan Hua who recommended you for this position, you just need to discuss your leaving with Yan Hua. I have no problem with it."
Hearing this, Lu Xue heaved a sigh of relief. She thanked Mu Yuze again and then left the office.
Since Mu Yuze said that she just needed to talk to Yan Hua about this, it meant that this matter was basically settled. Lu Xue didn't think Yan Hua would object to it.
She went downstairs to get some documents. On the way, she passed by several offices and was stopped by some female colleagues to chat for a while.
The female colleagues welcomed Lu Xue very much and especially liked to gossip about the skin - care products, accessories, earrings, clothes and shoes that Lu Xue usually used. They were concerned about the brands of all the things on Lu Xue and her daily selection preferences.
It was as if they were concerned about what kind of aesthetic taste their boss had for women.
But to their surprise, there were hardly any luxury items on Lu Xue.
All the things she wore and used were very inexpensive, and some didn't even have a well - known brand.
When they wanted to discuss some well - known domestic and foreign brands with Lu Xue, they found that Lu Xue was very indifferent. She just brushed it off with a few words, seemingly having no interest at all in the shopping topic that girls especially liked to talk about.
