Heartbroken and lovelorn

  In the elegant and clean office, it was quiet. Ling Yuqian stood still in front of the glass window, slightly raised her head, her long eyelashes gently closed together, quietly enjoying the gentle breeze blowing towards her, quietly breathing in the fresh air washed by the rain, her tired body and mind slowly relaxed.

  Since then, after being harassed, she no longer went for a walk in the garden downstairs and returned directly to the office ten minutes earlier.

  It's been almost a week since she came to work here, except for the first and second days, she hasn't seen He Yu or Li Xiaotong again, not even He Yu's special assistant Chi Zhenfeng seems to have disappeared, but that Li Xiaojun often comes to show off her authority and pretend to be mighty.

  I still remember that when we first met and were about to part ways, Chi Zhenfeng said that everyone would meet again, so I kept it in mind and even prepared a good phrase to ask him, but unexpectedly, he was just casually saying it, maybe he had already forgotten what he had said, and had already forgotten me.

  These days, I don't have any special work to do. Every day is spent reading materials and reviewing past PR department plans and activities. At the same time, I'm getting to know my colleagues better.

  I'm not sure if it's because I've only just arrived and everyone still has their guard up, or if it's my own personal issue, but I find it hard to truly connect with them. Every time I see them laughing and chatting openly, I can't help but feel a pang of melancholy and envy. Most of them are older than me, yet somehow, I'm the one who feels oldest in spirit.

  So most of the time, I hide in this not-too-big-not-too-small space, quietly dazing off, quietly reminiscing, quietly... licking old wounds.

  The business card left by Li Xiaotong is always with her, and the frequency of looking at it is no less than that of looking at materials. Staring at the few dazzling big characters on it, Li Xiaotong's appearance involuntarily emerges in her mind, a beautiful face full of vitality and confidence, elegantly descending like a goddess of justice, sincerely helping herself, and of course...the affection and harmony between He Yu and her.

  Before she officially appeared, she was secretly delighted with Li Xiaojun's shallowness and arrogance, after all, in that case, she could more easily recall Tianyou's heart. However, the fact is that the personalities of the two sisters are vastly different, her image far exceeded her expectations, her excellence, almost perfect, none of which she could match.

  It is said that in addition to handling court-appointed cases, she also takes on outside commissions, mainly for clients of the He Group. She has won many lawsuits for them, making those clients extremely grateful to the He Group and He Wei. They even introduce wealthy friends to He Wei, which is a great benefit for both the He Group and He Wei himself. With his excellence in other areas as well, how could he not be deeply fond of her?

  When Ling Yu Xuan opened her eyes, she found that the scenery outside the window had become blurred. Her eyelashes were wet and sticky, one by one, stuck tightly together.

  Just then, the phone rang behind him.

  She turned back, staring blankly at the ringing phone, then slowly moved her feet back to the desk, cleared her throat, and picked up the receiver, "Hello."

  "Hello, I'm Secretary Li. The general manager has called you up."

  He... Yu? He Yu wants to see me? He has finally summoned me! I can finally see him again!

  The receiver in Ling Yuqian's hand trembled slightly, causing the telephone line to rustle.

  "Is anyone there? Yonda?"

  "Uh, I...I'm coming, okay, I'll go up now!" Ling Yuqian replied hesitantly, finally giving an answer. After hanging up the phone, she immediately took out a mirror, as well as tissues, powder, and lipstick, quickly touching up her incomplete makeup. As she was doing this, a sudden and unbelievable thought popped into her mind, making her feel like one of those ancient imperial concubines waiting for the emperor's summons.

  A faint, bitter smile flickered on her lips, she took a deep breath, gathered her things, smoothed out her clothes, and then stepped out of the office, leaving the public relations department under the gaze of several colleagues.

  After arriving at the general manager's office, it was found that not only He Wei, but also Chi Zhenfeng was there!

  Chi Zhenfeng even took the initiative to greet her, without changing his elegant and refined personality, "Yonda, we meet again!"

  Ling Yu's face flushed with a red glow, and she replied in a soft voice, "Good job, Qi Te!" Then, looking at He Wei, "General... Manager, you wanted to see me about something?"

  He Xianyu gazed at her with a thoughtful expression, before speaking in his usual flat tone after a moment, "Next month on the 18th is my grandfather's birthday. In previous years, it was always handled by the PR department, and this year will be no exception. So, I plan to put you in charge of this matter. Of course, since you're new to the company, Assistant Qi will assist you."

  Ling Yuqian was stunned upon hearing this.

  "What's wrong? Can't handle it?" He Xuan's eyebrows twisted.

  "Uh, no... it's not!"

  Chi Zhenfeng also chimed in, being considerate and meticulous, "Yonda, don't worry, if you have any questions, just ask me, I'd be happy to help."

  Ling Yuqian was stunned again, and sincerely grateful, "Thank you, Qi Tezhu."

  "Don't be polite, by the way, you can also call me Charles directly." Chi Zhenfeng's light red thin lips hooked again, and his deep peach blossom eyes kept wandering on her absolutely beautiful face.

  Ling Yuqian looked back at him and smiled slightly, but her mind was still preoccupied with He Yue, not forgetting to glance at He Yue out of the corner of her eye.

  He Wei suddenly let out a light cough and said expressionlessly, "Take these materials back and take a good look. If you don't understand anything, ask... Qi Tezhu, I want your proposal within seven days."

  Ling Yuqian was just about to shift her gaze back to him, first gazing deeply at him, then taking over the documents. Originally, she should have left like this, but she didn't, quietly lowering her head, using flipping through the materials to struggle for more time to stay, feeling his presence from afar, feeling his breath.

  Unfortunately, He Yu gave the order to expel the guest, "You can leave now."

  She raised her eyes, and a sudden burst of color surged into her bright pupils. Her pearly teeth unconsciously bit into her tender lips.

  He Wei's heart suddenly skipped a beat, her heart seemed to be lightly tapped open, her eyes deepened, until she found that Chi Zhenfeng seemed to be approaching her, he stopped being distracted, stopped inquiring about her, and once again told her to leave.

  Her face fell, her small mouth pouted involuntarily, the adoration in her eyes turned to resentment, and then she reluctantly nodded and walked out slowly.

  As he watched her elegant figure slowly disappear, Chi Zhenfeng couldn't help but mutter in puzzlement, "General Manager, don't you think Yonda is a bit unusual?"

  He Yu did not speak, his sharp eagle eyes still unfathomable.

  "The more I meet her, the more I feel that she is a mysterious woman, and it seems like she has many stories to tell...” Chi Zhenfeng continued to mutter to himself, “Looks like I need to investigate thoroughly!”

  "I hired you to work for me, to work for the company, not to chase after girls!" He Yawei finally spoke up, his low voice hinting at displeasure.

  Chi Zhenfeng's eyes fixed on He Yu's face, which was shrouded in dark clouds, and he couldn't help but feel puzzled. "General Manager, what's wrong with you? Come to think of it, you've never interfered with my personal affairs before."

  "Those romantic affairs of yours, I won't waste my precious time on them, but if they involve official business, that's a different story."

  Chi Zhenfeng's eyes widened even more, and his eyebrows furrowed instantly. General Manager... what's wrong today? You seem to be in a bad mood? Also, every time he thought of getting closer to Ling Yuxuan, there seemed to be a sharp gaze directed at him, and that gaze came from the general manager.

  Furthermore, Ling Yuqian's series of strange reactions before leaving...

  Could it be that they have something going on? However, Ling Yu Xuan has only been at the company for a week and hasn't met with He Yue many times, so it's impossible for them to have anything going on so quickly. Besides, there's still Michelle!

  With a thick tone of incomprehension and confusion, Chi Zhenfeng suddenly blurted out a teasing remark, "General Manager, if you hadn't had Michelle, I would have thought you were competing with me for favor..."
