Then… a few seconds later.
“Can I sit here?” Ye Chen suddenly smiled innocuously while holding his plate.
Qiao Sisi held her chopsticks tightly and groaned in her heart. The more she didn’t want something, the more it came to her.
She really did not want to sit with this kind of person who seemed to have a halo over his head. She could see that the other women in the cafeteria were looking at her and Lin Ya with hostility.
Lin Ya gave Qiao Sisi a look. He was already here and it was not appropriate to reject him.
“It’s fine. Have a seat.” Lin Ya gave him a sweet smile and moved to the side, leaving a seat for him.
Ye Chen smiled and placed the tray on the table before sitting down.
The gazes in the canteen, oh no, the gazes of the women were all gathered at Qiao Sisi’s table. They seemed puzzled and jealous.
It seemed like Ye Chen was no mere employee.
Qiao Sisi secretly glanced at Ye Chen and quickly looked away. She looked at the dishes in her bowl and continued to keep a low profile.
“I heard that you guys are on a business trip for only five days?” After Ye Chen took a bite of his food elegantly, he suddenly thought of something and asked this question abruptly.
Qiao Sisi did not answer and continued eating. Lin Ya quickly answered, “That’s right. We’ll be returning to the office in five days.”
“I see…” Ye Chen did not say anything else.
All of a sudden, the atmosphere at the dining table was a little awkward. When the three of them met today, they did not talk as much as they did when they first met yesterday.
Lin Ya’s head was a little heavy yesterday, but it settled after a day.
When they were almost done eating, Lin Ya asked, “Ye Chen, are you a designer with Wind City Company?”
She had not forgotten what Qiao Sisi mentioned just now. Now she was a little curious and blurted out her question.
Although Qiao Sisi was not looking at them, she pricked up her ears.
Ye Chen was smiling. He closed his attractive eyes slightly as he held his chopsticks with his long fingers and said, “… Not really.”
His every move revealed an extraordinary aura.
Qiao Sisi finally understood why Ye Chen had so many female fans in Wind City Company. He was almost as handsome as Zheng Zeyi.
Lin Ya understood and did not ask further.
Soon the lunch break ended and the junior assistant was almost done with her discussion.Just when she was about to gather all the staff to leave Wind City, she saw Ye Chen.
“CEO Ye?!” The junior assistant looked a little stunned.
Qiao Sisi and Lin Ya were equally stunned because Ye Chen was standing next to them. They heard her calling him CEO Ye.
Qiao Sisi could not help but rub her forehead. As expected… She knew that this person was no ordinary person.
But she did not expect him to be part of the top management of Wind City!
Ye Chen did not look like he had been exposed. He simply nodded slightly and greeted her.
The junior assistant did not say anything, but her attitude was respectful. Then she said to Qiao Sisi and Lin Ya, “It’s time to go. We’re going to Jade Street now. Everyone needs to hand in a work report tonight.”
All of Jinyu’s colleagues were called back. As the person in charge of Wind City Company this time, Ye Chen was in the same group.
The part of Jade Street that they were going to this time was different from the previous one. It was a little further away and there were probably more varieties of jade.
The phone in Qiao Sisi’s pocket vibrated. She picked it up and saw that it was a message from Zheng Zeyi.
Zheng Zeyi: [Where are you?]
Qiao Sisi blinked. She wanted to pretend that she did not see it, but if she did not reply, she would feel bad.
Forget it, forget it. I’ll reply, I’ll reply.
Feeling a little exasperated, Qiao Sisi quickly typed a few words on the keypad of her phone and sent them out. The content was: [Yunqi Jade Street.]
This fellow is far away in H City, so what if I tell him where I am? she thought.
At the thought of this, Qiao Sisi felt relieved and put her phone back in her pocket. Their car had almost arrived at Jade Street.
The colleagues from Jinyu Company were gathered together. They looked more like they were on a tour rather than on a business trip.
The corners of Qiao Sisi’s lips curled up slightly. It’s just like traveling, she thought. Other than her joining the company through the back door, everyone was a newcomer with potential and Xiang Jinyu wanted them to broaden their horizons.
Ye Chen and the junior assistant walked in front and led the way into a jade museum. The interior was very spacious. After they entered, they followed Ye Chen to the front desk.
The junior assistant held a document in her hand and handed it to the staff at the front desk. They must have contacted each other beforehand about buying jade stones.
Qiao Sisi stood at the back of the group and looked around the place. There were many jade stones in glass display cases outside.
There was also some information about craftsmanship that attracted Qiao Sisi’s attention. This was what she wanted to learn.
“You can browse around.” The junior assistant needed some time over at her side.
Ye Chen did not leave the front desk. He was talking to the staff there.
After hearing what the junior assistant said, the team immediately dispersed.
Qiao Sisi could not wait to get close to the information in the display cases. She looked intently at them. This was information about cutting and polishing.
It was very basic but also very important.
“Qiao Sisi, you’re blocking others.”
Hearing this, Qiao Sisi quickly turned around and saw Wei Ya standing behind her.
Wei Ya glared at Qiao Sisi and insisted on squeezing beside her to look at the display.
Qiao Sisi did not say anything. This was a public venue, and she had no intention of monopolizing this spot and not letting others view the display.
However, Wei Ya’s attitude was indeed detestable.
“Qiao Sisi, do you understand?” Wei Ya suddenly revealed a mocking smile. She did not look at the information but turned to look at Qiao Sisi.
“Can you stop arguing?” Qiao Sisi frowned. It was really annoying to be interrupted all the time.
Hearing this, Wei Ya instantly got angry. She said scornfully, “Who doesn’t know that you got in through the back door? What are you pretending for? If you don’t understand, just admit it. What are you pretending for?”
“It’s none of your business.”
Qiao Sisi retorted rudely. The atmosphere became tense, as it seemed like they were going to quarrel the next second.
Lin Ya, who was standing not far away, rushed over. “Sisi, come over here. Come quickly.”
Qiao Sisi glanced at the furious Wei Ya and followed Lin Ya to the side. Time is too precious to waste on such a person, she thought.
Wei Ya snorted and started reading.
“Sisi, are you alright?” Lin Ya stole a glance at Wei Ya and pulled Qiao Sisi towards her.
Qiao Sisi shook her head. “It’s fine.”
What could happen to me? she thought. It was just that she was annoyed at getting interrupted when she was looking at information.
This jade museum was very attentive to detail. Qiao Sisi naturally did not want to miss out on such valuable information.
