Chapter 12 Director Yu’s Follow-up Light

Time always flies by like a flash of thrilling scenes in a horror movie. In the blink of an eye, koi ushered in the real public beta day - May 15th. That day happened to be a weekend, and Chi Xia was in the company. When she saw the electronic version of the invitation to the public beta party sent by Ye Jing, she couldn't help but tremble when she stretched out her hand from the bed. She followed the army reluctantly and replied: "Copy that. "Then he struggled to get up. When he walked out of the room, he looked up and saw Su Yinuan standing in front of the sink, looking sleepily at the faucet that was constantly pouring water. "Morning. " Chi Xia said hello to her. Su Yinuan immediately wailed like a robot whose switch was pressed: "Who is a good person who wants to attend some party on weekends? He can't sleep in." While Su Yinuan was still occupying the sink, Chi Xia casually lay down on the sofa and said, "Don't the party start at five o'clock in the afternoon?" Just keep sleeping. Su Yinuan brushed her teeth, holding a mouth full of bubbles, and responded vaguely: "Then I don't have to wash my hair and put on makeup or something. Besides, I'm not in the mood to sleep in now." " Chi Xia originally planned to just put on some clothes and play it off, but after hearing what Su Yinuan said, she began to search for a suitable outfit in her mind. At least, a T-shirt would not do. Su Yinuan asked as if talking to herself : "I don't know if Director Yu will go. "Indeed, Chi Xia tilted her head and leaned on the cushion. Yu Ningze was not in the group. Who knows whether he received it or not. But this kind of company collective activity, as the R&D director and the soul of koi, it would be inappropriate for him not to go Reasonable, right? But is reasonableness important to Yu Ningze? Chi Xia's thoughts were confused, while Su Yinuan kept talking, "If Director Yu doesn't go, this party will be boring." No, not even a handsome guy. Chi Xia smiled: "Isn't Mr. Ye a handsome guy?" "Although the looks of her colleagues are as flat as the co-branded stickers given when buying milk tea in Chi Xia's eyes, the looks of Ye Jing and Yu Ningze make it difficult for people to ignore them. Although Chi Xia is not a nymphomaniac, At least he's not blind. After hearing Chi Xia's words, Su Yinuan nodded thoughtfully, but the next second, she shook her head again, "Although Mr. Ye is handsome, he is the boss after all, so he can't stare so blatantly. Let him see. " Chi Xia laughed dumbly: "Isn't Director Yu also our boss? "Su Yinuan replied very seriously: "But Director Yu doesn't care, President Ye will come and ask you why you keep looking at him. "Chi Xia really laughed out loud now. Although she had only joined the company not long ago, based on her limited observations, Mr. Ye's character was indeed... quite out-of-the-box. When she was bored, she unconsciously Like a biological clock, she unknowingly developed the habit of going up to do daily tasks, and of course this routine also included chatting with ZE725. Sometimes, she didn't even know it. Which factor is more responsible for attracting her to go online? At this moment, he happened to be online. Chi Xia was about to send a greeting, but her finger stopped on the send button and she hesitated to press it. An inappropriate thought came to mind: He seems to be online all the time. Does he also chat with others when he is online? With this thought, Chi Xia rushed into ZE725's cabin and conducted a blanket search, using a woman's intuition to judge. Check whether there are any items that do not belong to him. The decoration inside the house is as simple as ever. Apart from the necessary furniture, there is almost no superfluous decoration. It is said that the decoration style is consistent with the owner's personality, so in reality, is ZE725 also a person who pursues minimalism? After searching, she turned around and breathed a sigh of relief. When she looked up, she happened to see the owner of the house looking at her intently. Chi Xia couldn't help but feel a chill on her back. When did he start watching? I wanted to speak tentatively, but I didn't expect the other person to say "Good morning" first. Xia Tian: "Good morning." ZE725: "Why did you get up so early today?" Xia Tian: "Because I have to work overtime." In order to cover up his guilty feelings, She also deliberately added a rather aggrieved emoji. ZE725: "What a coincidence, I also have to work overtime." Xia Tian: "Then your boss is quite inhumane." ZE725 just responded with a smile and did not express any opinion on this. After a while, he asked, "Were you looking for something just now?" Chi Xia was shocked. Sure enough, he just kept silent and saw all his behavior like a thief. How can I make up an excuse to get through? Perhaps the experience of lying to her parents when she was young gave her a lot of help, so she finally spoke after careful consideration. Xia Tian: "The Chinese Valentine's Day is coming soon. I want to give you a decoration. Where should I put it?" The next second, she wanted to slap her head to pieces. Chinese Valentine's Day, Chinese Valentine's Day... Although the team has been busy planning for Chinese Valentine's Day recently, even her dreams were about Chinese Valentine's Day. But at this time, isn't it too strange to say such a thing? Moreover, I always feel that the air is filled with pink bubbles, an indescribable atmosphere of ambiguity. Fortunately, the other party did not doubt her statement, but he had other doubts. ZE725: "Isn't the Chinese Valentine's Day still three months away?" Chi Xia continued to make amends. Xia Tian: "Yes, but I am a very strict person. I start picking out gifts several months in advance." ZE725: "That's it." ZE725: "I know." Chi Xia breathed a sigh of relief. This should be regarded as muddle through. And the next second, his news immediately followed. ZE725: "I will also prepare a gift for you." Chi Xia was silent. Listening to these words, it felt like I was asking for a gift from him. Although she had never played online games before, a certain roommate in her college dormitory played them enthusiastically. In the game she played, there was a system called "love". Two people who are bound by love are by default a couple in the game. They go out as a couple, give each other gifts, and celebrate holidays together. At that time, my roommates often shared with everyone what gifts they had given themselves due to their relationship—sometimes it was an expensive appearance in the game, sometimes it was an exquisite necklace in real life. So her current behavior can be considered... Thinking of this, she immediately said: "It doesn't matter, you don't have to send me away!" But before the message could be sent, ZE725 had already gone offline. The conversation stayed in a rather strange atmosphere, causing Chi Xia to be confused all day long. Even when he stood in the party villa and listened to Ye Jing's speech, his words went in and out of one ear and only saw his mouth. One piece and one piece. Hundreds of people stood in the spacious space. In addition to colleagues from the company, reporters and sponsors were all present. The formation was quite large, but it was no different from the scenes I had seen in TV series before. Su Yinuan touched Chi Xia with her elbow and whispered in her ear: "Look, Director Yu actually wore a suit today. It's so rare." Chi Xia followed Su Yinuan's gaze and looked over. Among the crowd, Yu Ningze was wearing a well-tailored dark suit. His slender figure was leaning against the white wall behind him, his expression was carefree, and he had a dignified temperament that was completely different from usual. He combed all his hair back, revealing his smooth forehead. Without the cover of his bangs, his facial features appear deeper. He raised his eyebrows, the thoughts in his eyes rippling like water waves. And beside him, stood a woman dressed equally exquisitely, lowering her head and saying something to him. She smiled brightly, her cheeks glowing slightly red, and her whole body seemed to be bathed in bright sunshine. Chi Xia couldn't help but ask Su Yinuan, "Is that woman from our company?" Su Yinuan glanced at it and shook her head, "I don't know her." Chi Xia tilted her head. Even if she wanted to ignore it, her eyes couldn't stop. Generally look in the direction of Yu Ningze. I have to say that even though I don't have a good impression of him, now among so many people, Yu Ningze simply stands out from the crowd. He is so handsome that he is as eye-catching as if he was photoshopped in the post-production stage. The strange woman seemed to notice her intense gaze and stopped talking to Yu Ningze. She stretched out her hand, straightened the light brown hair lying on her shoulders, and glared at Chi Xia. Chi Xia lowered his head instantly. Oops, such a hostile look. She recalled that day in the mall, Yu Ningze said that he wanted to buy two controllers... Could it be that this was his girlfriend. The very official speech lasted for more than half an hour, and with a burst of warm applause, it was finally time for free activities. As soon as Ye Jing put down the phone, the woman who just stared at Chi Xia walked over quickly. Before Chi Xia could stuff the small cake into her mouth to fill her already hungry stomach, a sharp sound came from her ears. "Who are you? Why were you staring at Brother Aze just now?" Brother Aze? Chi Xia's hand holding the cake froze in place. From this title, she should be quite familiar with Yu Ningze. She turned her head and looked up and down at the menacing stranger in front of her. Wearing a white dress with a pair of sparkling high heels, and countless jewelry on her body, she looked like a walking spotlight. Chi Xia briefly analyzed it with her little brain, and then responded with a slightly embarrassed smile: "No, I didn't stare at Director Yu." She thought that as long as she denied it, she would be completely removed. Then he could dispel the other party's suspicion. Who would have thought that as "Follow the Spotlight"'s cheeks gradually turned red, her voice rose eight steps and penetrated the entire room. "Just watch it, what's wrong with denying it! Do you have any undue thoughts about Brother Aze!" This sudden accusation not only shocked Chi Xia, but also attracted the attention of those present, including Yu Ningze. Attention of everyone inside. Just when Chi Xia was about to deny it, an afterimage suddenly broke into her sight from the left and pulled the "following spotlight" behind her. "Ye Xi, what are you talking about?" Ye Jing glared at the woman named Ye Xi behind him, then turned back to look at Chi Xia, with a hint of apology in her expression, "I'm sorry, my sister is Are you causing trouble?" Sister? Chi Xia was stunned. So, Director Yu's girlfriend is actually Mr. Ye's sister? This amount of information is too much. Although her brain was still digesting these sudden breaking news, Chi Xia still waved her hands calmly on the surface: "It's okay, Mr. Ye, it's all a misunderstanding." Ye Jing apologized again, and then pulled Bu Qingrui. Desperate Ye Xi left Chi Xia's sight. She subconsciously looked up at where Yu Ningze was, and her eyes met with his. The moment their eyes met, he turned his head away and didn't look at her again.
