Chapter 1174 It’s Not Easy to Be a White Moonlight
Not far away, Shi Li saw the same hostility in the young girl's eyes as in Song Yao's.
Shi Li: Can this world ever be better???
None of them had ever appeared in the original owner's memory, so why were they so hostile to her when they met???
Then, she saw Song Yao change her cold and sharp attitude towards her and walked quickly towards the girl with red eyes.
The volume of his voice was just right so that Shi Li could hear it clearly.
"Niannian! It's so windy today, why did you come out? You haven't recovered from your cold yet, and Manager Zhou would be distressed if he saw you! Besides, you still have to prepare your design work for the competition, which is already very tiring, why are you out here?"
"I..." Cheng Niannian hesitated, glanced at Shi Li, and forced a smile, "I'm fine, I came out to get some fresh air, I'll go back first."
She turned to leave just as the elevator door opened.
A tall and handsome young man walked out of the elevator quickly and walked towards Shi Li without looking away.
Before the person even came close, he already said his apology.
"I'm sorry! Shi Li, I should have picked you up at the airport in person, but something happened at the company just now, so I was too busy to attend."
"Are you... Manager Zhou Xiangxue?" Shi Li looked at him, looking uncertainly.
This person had a slight presence in the original owner's memory. She had returned from abroad before, and this person was responsible for contacting her.
Zhou Xiangxue's face was originally filled with a very bright smile, but when he heard her unfamiliar question, his face froze, and then he smiled sadly.
"Yes, I'm Zhou Xiangxue... You must be exhausted from the journey. Let's go have lunch first. I'll treat you. I know there's a famous Sichuan restaurant nearby."
"That's not necessary." Shi Li declined politely. She saw Song Yao looking at her with increasing anger out of the corner of her eye, so she chuckled and pointed at Song Yao directly.
"But I suggest that next time you find someone to greet new employees, don't ask Miss Song. Her driving skills are really terrible."
Song Yao never expected that Shi Li would actually complain about her in front of Zhou Lixue. Her face turned pale instantly and she glared at Shi Li fiercely.
Cheng Niannian, who was supposed to leave, stopped at some point and looked over here with a look of despair on her face.
Shi Li vaguely felt that she seemed to have been accidentally involved in a complicated romantic scandal, which was really a bit annoying.
As a result, she did not have any good impression of Zhou Xiangxue. She took a step back and said calmly, "I will come to the company to report and go to work as usual tomorrow. In addition, please prepare the registration form for the jewelry design competition for me tomorrow."
After saying that, Shi Li turned around and left without staying for long.
"I'll take you there..." Zhou Xiangxue was reluctant to leave, but was naturally rejected by Shi Li.
He watched her leave without blinking, then looked away in despair. Finally, he noticed Song Yao, who was standing next to him and was extremely angry. His expression immediately changed.
"Song Yao, come here."
Song Yao's whole body froze. She looked back and found that Cheng Niannian had left at some point. She could only bite the bullet and walk towards Zhou Xiangxue.
"Manager Zhou..."
"I asked you to receive Miss Shi, what did you do?" Zhou Xiangxue no longer looked as gentle and amiable as before. His face was cold and serious, making people shiver.
Song Yao was also very scared, but she still stiffened her neck and argued with Zhou Xiangxue.
"Manager Zhou! How sad has Nian Nian been these past two days? Didn't you see it? Why do you think of her as a substitute for that woman? Nian Nian is much better than her!"
Zhou Xiangxue's hidden thoughts were exposed on the spot. His face darkened and he threatened in a low voice, "Song Yao, if you don't want to do this job, I will ask the Human Resources Department to process your resignation now."
Song Yao has average education and abilities. She was able to join this company thanks to Cheng Niannian who spoke up for her in front of Zhou Xiangxue. She was indignant when she heard this, but she didn't dare to contradict Zhou Xiangxue again.
Shi Li sat in a taxi on the way home, racking her brains but unable to figure out any connections between the original owner and Zhou Xiangxue.
They have only known each other for three or two days, so why does the other party act like he is deeply in love with the original owner?
The domestic branch is in such a mess, the head office really needs to take better care of it!
However, she had just arrived, and it was not convenient for her to tell the headquarters directly about these things, as if she was reporting on someone as soon as she arrived.
If these trivial matters do not affect her normal work, she can put them aside for the time being.
The original owner's father's business had been doing well in the past two years, and he could already afford to buy a small villa.
When Shi Li got off the car and arrived home, her parents were already waiting for her at home and had specially prepared a table full of the original owner's favorite dishes.
As soon as she entered the house, her parents gathered around her and asked about her well-being.
It should have been a very warm scene, but for some reason, Shi Li always felt that there was a hint of guilt in her parents' attitude.
She wasn't sure if she was too sensitive, overthinking, or for some other reason.
I talked with my parents for a while, then sat down to eat.
Her father picked up a piece of fish for her, then he coughed dryly and suddenly said, "Your mother and I have arranged a marriage for you. Tomorrow you will go to the Mu family and meet Mu Shao... Mu He and get to know each other."
