To their great disappointment, Lu Xue hardly ever wore makeup.
She might be the only female employee in the whole company who dared to show up at work with a bare face every day.
Yet, she was just blessed with fair and smooth skin, bright eyes, and white teeth. She was a great beauty from the start, and no one could find any fault with her.
As time went by, several female colleagues began to secretly discuss among themselves.
Could it be that their boss just liked this kind of simple - looking girl, the clean - cut type who didn't wear makeup and showed her natural face?
If there were certain dressing styles that could win the boss's favor in terms of aesthetics, everyone might be more enthusiastic about it. But if the boss's preference was for girls with no makeup, most of the female colleagues felt they were defeated. This was simply impossible to imitate!
They could go out without makeup, but the difference between a girl's appearance before and after makeup was quite significant. At least for now, they didn't have the courage like Lu Xue to come to the company so boldly with a bare face.
So... the female colleagues around immediately gave up and silently dispelled these thoughts.
...
Lu Xue picked up several documents and was about to go back to work when, out of the blue, Yan Hua appeared in front of her.
When he showed up, he even held a stopwatch in his hand. After waving it at her, he flashed a bright smile.
"One hour is up. How about it? I'm very punctual, right!"
The corner of Lu Xue's mouth twitched slightly. Yan Hua had said he would come to find her in an hour before, but she didn't expect him to be exactly on time, down to the second.
She let out a wail to the sky, "Please let me go! I really have no interest!"
Yan Hua immediately put on a serious face, "How can you have no interest? This is about your future! You're like a precious jade, waiting for me, the treasure - hunter, to dig you out! Come on, Lu Xue! You should trust me!"
Of course, Lu Xue had no interest in listening to Yan Hua's long - winded talk. She took a deep breath, brushed past Yan Hua's shoulder, and suddenly dashed back to the top floor at full speed.
After standing still for a few seconds, Yan Hua immediately reacted and chased after her at full speed.
Thus, a strange scene appeared in the office building.
A girl was running like crazy in front, and a boy was chasing after her like mad.
The two of them ran, one in front and the other in pursuit, scaring many colleagues in the cubicles on both sides.
In mid - air, files were fluttering up, blown by the wind they created on both sides.
Lu Xue ran all the way to the top floor. Looking back, she found that Yan Hua had actually chased up so tenaciously, showing no sign of slowing down.
Lu Xue gritted her teeth and rushed directly into Mu Yuze's office.
However, the office had glass sliding doors, and she couldn't lock him out immediately.
Looking around and seeing no one in the office, her eyes fell on the dressing room at the innermost part of the company. The door of the dressing room could be locked.
Lu Xue rushed in directly, slammed the door shut with a "bang", and locked it tightly from the inside.
Yan Hua soon chased in outside. He banged on the dressing - room door frantically while shouting outside.
"Lu Xue, can we have a calm conversation? I really think what I said makes a lot of sense. You should think about my words carefully!"
Lu Xue remained motionless inside and simply pretended to be dead.
Outside, Yan Hua started his long - winded "Monk Tang" mode. Later, finding that Lu Xue showed no reaction at all, the "Monk" finally lost his patience and walked away dejectedly.
Hearing the footsteps outside getting farther and farther away, Lu Xue let out a sigh of relief and was about to open the door.
But... suddenly, she felt that the atmosphere in the dressing room seemed a bit strange?
Only then did she think of looking back.
By the dim light from a cabinet door in the corner, she saw Mu Yuze standing behind her, bare - chested, holding a shirt he was about to put on, with a slightly unnatural look on his face.
Only then did Lu Xue realize that she had barged in at a bad time, just when the boss was changing clothes inside.
She coughed lightly, turned her head away, pretended nothing had happened, and said boldly,
"Boss, the suit you're going to wear for the meeting later, I've put it in the third drawer on the right side of the cabinet. It's a gray shirt, not the one in your hand. You've got the wrong one."
It took Mu Yuze a long time to come back to his senses awkwardly. He silently put the shirt in his hand back beside the wardrobe and said softly, "Thank you."
Following what Lu Xue had said, he groped for the third drawer. Opening it, he found a neatly - folded gray shirt inside.
He took out the shirt, shook it open, and put it on while trying to keep a calm face. But his fingertips were still trembling slightly, betraying his little bit of nervousness at the moment.
Although Lu Xue had her back to him, being alone with a girl in a small space and changing clothes behind her still made him feel a bit uncomfortable.
