As soon as she walked into the staff restaurant, Xia Tong felt that the atmosphere was unusual. There were people talking and whispering to each other immediately. But wherever she and he walked, it was as quiet as if there were dead people around, and there was no sound of breathing.
Even though Xia Tong deliberately blocked it, she could still accidentally receive n rays of jealousy, envy and hatred. She calmly ignored it.
The two of them held the dishes and sat at a table facing each other. Gu Haoran thought for a while, then sat on the outer edge of her sofa seat with the rice tray, and sat on the side with her. Then he hid himself in the sofa.
The hand inside covered Xia Tong's other free hand.
Oh my god, this is so sweet. Xia Tong's heart skipped two beats.
I glared at him from the side, but received a bright smile from his face. My mood couldn't help but become better, and I wasn't hungry anymore. Is this what is called drinking water to satisfy one's feelings?
Xia Tong lowered his head to eat and seemed to have forgotten the mood that was ruined by the newspaper at noon.
Halfway through the meal, Gu Haoran suddenly lowered his head, stared at her feet, and asked, "Have you found the high heels?"
"Uh..." Xia Tong was stunned for half a second, and then realized that he was referring to her pair of high heels that were lost in the hospital because of Qin Mu's decision on the day Shen Yin had the miscarriage. She was in a hurry to go out this morning and panicked for a moment.
She was so confused that she accidentally put on another pair of identical shoes that Qin Mu later decided to give her as compensation.
Xia Tong hesitated. If she told the truth at this moment, she was afraid that the man would have random thoughts in his mind. He simply said smoothly: "Yes, later an aunt who was cleaning in the hospital picked up these shoes and gave them back to me. I kept forgetting them.
Let me mention it to you."
"Yes." He nodded, with a hint of disappointment slipping across his face. The face that had been smiling just now had no expression at all at the moment, and it was so deep that it was hard to see through.
Just when the atmosphere was slightly deadlocked, a figure suddenly rushed into the employee cafeteria, holding a newspaper and saying excitedly to his colleagues sitting at a table not far from Xia Tong: "Hey... you guys
Did you see yesterday’s news?”
The name of the owner of the voice is Xiao Yueyue. She has a pure and pleasant appearance, with curly hair that reaches past her shoulders. Her long nails are always covered with crystal nails with various complicated patterns. Her personality is gossip, and she has a big mouth.
The world is not in chaos, and the reason why all kinds of gossip weekly news in the office can be spread, her contribution is not small.
"It's amazing! Our CEO's wife was caught by the police in a bar yesterday. Can you guess why?"
The colleagues at the table looked at Xiao Yueyue, who looked excited in front of them, and then glanced uncomfortably at Xia Tong, who was sitting not far away, and began to wink at her.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Xiao Yueyue was on the cusp of gossip, her eyes were red with excitement, so she could not receive any kind reminders from her colleagues. She continued to say loudly: "It turned out to be because of prostitution! Can you imagine?
The second job of the wife of the dignified CEO is actually a girl in a bar, and I heard that she was caught in a fierce battle with more than a dozen tough men last night. It’s really too spicy, hahaha..."
The restaurant, which was a little noisy just now, suddenly fell silent, leaving only Xiao Yueyue's wild laughter, which was almost eerie.
Xia Tong sat, feeling that every minute was walking slowly on a knife's edge. She didn't dare to raise her head, nor did she dare to turn her head to look at Hao Ran's face. It was clear that none of this was her fault, but she felt extremely guilty.
.
The man beside her suddenly stood up, but was grabbed by Xia Tong. She sat there, looked up at him, and said in a low voice: "Don't be like this."
Unexpectedly, Gu Haoran's face at this moment was not filled with anger as Xia Tong imagined, but was very calm. He didn't say anything, he just slowly pulled her hand away and turned towards the laughing figure.
Go.
Seeing the surprised expressions on the faces of all her colleagues who were shocked by her 'gossip news', Xiao Yueyue clapped her hands with satisfaction, turned around and was about to leave, but her eyes froze when she saw the tall and handsome figure in front of her.
In situ.
With her face flushed from suppressing her emotions, Xiao Yueyue stammered: "Gu...Mr. Gu, you...why are you here?"
Gu Haoran folded her arms leisurely, pulled off the nameplate on her chest, and looked at it: "Planning Manager of the Publicity Department, Xiao Yueyue?"
"Yes...yes..." Xiao Yueyue's voice trembled even more.
"Manager Xiao, I seem to remember that there are clear rules within nes that strictly prohibit the spread of any rumors and gossip that are not related to work..."
"Yes, yes..." Xiao Yueyue lowered her head and wiped away the sweat.
Gu Haoran smiled: "Then what kind of punishment do you think I should give you for your irresponsible remarks just now?
"Mr. Gu...I..." Xiao Yueyue wanted to explain, but she opened her mouth but didn't know what to say. She could only say calmly: "Mr. Gu, I was wrong. I will never dare to do it again."
"In the future?" Gu Haoran smiled softly: "I think Manager Xiao will have no chance in the future."
"What?!" Xiao Yueyue looked like she was struck by lightning. After a while, she stepped forward and grabbed Gu Haoran's sleeve: "Mr. Gu, I was really wrong. Don't do this. I still have hope.
With this salary..."
"Manager Xiao, I don't like being touched by irrelevant people." Gu Haoran stared at her tightly grasped fingers with a cold look in his eyes: "Please let go."
Forced by his powerful and intimidating aura, Xiao Yueyue involuntarily let go of her hand, her eyes losing focus.
After dealing with Xiao Yueyue, he clenched the newspaper again and said loudly to the entire restaurant staff: "Every employee of NES is an outstanding talent that we spent a lot of money to hire. I think since everyone can afford it,
Excellent people naturally have the ability to distinguish right from wrong. However, a similar photo can make people slander Miss Xia with some dirty words, which really makes me very disappointed. If everyone is really too busy,
If you have something to do, please take the initiative to resign. NES will never force you."
Hearing this, many people in the restaurant lowered their heads involuntarily.
Gu Haoran threw the newspaper in his hand into the trash can, strode up to Xia Tong, and pulled her out of the staff restaurant.
***** *****
nes building, skyview office.
Gu Haoran stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window with his arms folded, looking down at the tiny living beings downstairs, pursed his lips and said nothing.
Xia Tong followed him into the office, and the first thing he saw were two things on the desk. One was a beautiful box, and the other was the newspaper Xiao Yueyue just held in the employee cafeteria.
"You..." She suddenly choked up and wanted to speak, but didn't know how to speak.
