When Gong Siyu returned to his seat, Ouyang Heng also stood up and walked towards You Ce.
On the other side, Chu Ruofei calculated the time and returned to the meeting two minutes before the meeting started.
Seeing who Sister Siyu was messaging and chatting with, Chu Ruofei did not disturb Sister Siyu, quietly prepared the information, and was ready to record the content of the meeting.
Gong Siyu was sending a message to Sister Xiaoxuan, saying that she wanted to take Ruofei there. After Song Xiaoxuan learned about it on the other end, she completely agreed. After all, everyone would eat together in the evening and then sing and have fun. It was perfectly fine to bring Ruofei with her.
.
After Gong Siyu got Sister Xiaoxuan's consent, she was also happy. She thought that after the meeting was over, she would tell Ruofei that she would take her there and have fun together. Maybe the relationship between her and Ouyang would ease.
.
After that, everyone held the meeting seriously, listening and recording the content of the meeting. By the time the meeting ended, it was almost five o'clock.
The meeting was over, but no one had left. Everyone started to sort out the meeting materials and build relationships with people around them. After all, in the workplace, connections are also very important.
"Ruofei," Gong Siyu took this opportunity and said to Ruofei, "Sister Xiaoxuan will treat me to dinner tonight. If you have nothing to do tonight, come with me. I have already told Sister Xiaoxuan."
Hearing Sister Siyu's invitation, Chu Ruofei was shaken and wanted to go, but then, Chu Ruofei thought of another thing, and the original excitement on her face disappeared little by little.
Gong Siyu saw the change in Chu Ruofei's expression and already guessed the answer.
Sure enough, Chu Ruofei continued, "I'm sorry, Sister Siyu, I might not be able to go. I... have something else to do."
Chu Ruofei actually had nothing to do, but when she thought about meeting Ouyang Heng, and maybe Ouyang Heng would bring the girl there, she instinctively rejected her, so she found an excuse to have something to do.
Gong Siyu naturally knew these things in her heart and knew the real reason for her refusal.
"Are you really not going?" Gong Siyu wanted to try again and had no intention of specifically persuading her, but in her heart she hoped Ruofei would go, so she asked again.
Chu Ruofei nodded conflictedly. She was not completely sure at this moment, but her thoughts of not going were greater than going.
Gong Siyu didn't want to force her to get a definite answer.
Finally, he just said helplessly, "Okay, I originally wanted to go play together."
Chu Ruofei didn't answer these words, and only said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Sister Siyu."
"It's okay," Gong Siyu felt that apologizing was not enough, so she added, "At worst, we sisters will get together alone next time when we are free. We will have plenty of time in the future."
"Yeah." Chu Ruofei nodded.
Gong Siyu then said, "Then I will take you home first, and then I will go find Sister Xiaoxuan and the others."
Although he had made an agreement with Ouyang Heng before, it didn't stop him from taking Ruofei home. At worst, he could just ask Ouyang to follow his car and take a detour.
"No, no, sister Siyu," Chu Ruofei said with a sense of rejection, "I can just take a taxi back. It's not far from where I live, so it's very convenient."
Chu Ruofei knew that it would not be convenient for Sister Siyu to send her away, and Ouyang Heng might have some influence, so she still couldn't do it.
"Really no need?" Gong Siyu asked.
"Well, really," Chu Ruofei nodded firmly and said, "I can go back by myself."
Seeing Ruofei so insistent, Gong Siyu could only nod in agreement, "Okay, then be careful on the road."
"Um."
After greeting Sister Siyu, Chu Ruofei left the meeting and prepared to go back.
But when passing by the corridor, Chu Ruofei saw many people chatting in the corridor, all trying to build relationships and talk about work.
Chu Ruofei looked around, but she didn't expect that she accidentally looked at Ouyang Heng.
Ouyang Heng also accidentally took a look and saw Chu Ruofei standing not far away.
The two people looked at each other, without much emotion on their faces. They just looked at each other, but after a few seconds, Ouyang Heng looked away first.
After Chu Ruofei watched Ouyang Heng look away, she started chatting with the people around him. Chu Ruofei stood there and suddenly felt a little embarrassed, and she felt a slight coldness all over her body.
He ignores himself and pretends he doesn't know himself.
She didn't feel very good, but Chu Ruofei's mood was still stable, and then she looked away and walked towards the exit.
In the direction of the exit, Chu Ruofei must pass by Ouyang Heng.
Chu Ruofei walked forward, feeling uncomfortable every time she took a step. When she reached Ouyang Heng's side, Chu Ruofei was afraid that something unexpected would happen, but until she walked a few steps away, nothing happened.
Chu Ruofei was getting closer and closer to the exit, but gradually she was getting further and further away from Ouyang Heng.
Everything was quiet, nothing happened, and no one disturbed her. Chu Ruofei's heart was quiet for a few seconds, and then all her previous thoughts and worries disappeared instantly.
In this way, Chu Ruofei walked towards the elevator entrance at the exit.
Ouyang Heng was chatting with the people around him, but when Chu Ruofei's figure walked by, his whole nerves became tense because Ouyang Heng smelled a familiar breath coming from her.
At that moment, Ouyang Heng wanted to reach out impulsively, stop her, and hold her.
But in the end, Ouyang Heng did not have the courage to do it, so he could only show that he did nothing and said nothing.
But after Chu Ruofei's figure left, Ouyang Heng stared at that figure, watching her gradually go away, the pain in his heart increased little by little.
Ouyang Heng just watched like this, until the figure disappeared, Ouyang Heng still didn't come back to his senses.
"Mr. Heng, Mr. Heng." Someone around called Ouyang Heng.
After Ouyang Heng heard the voice, he looked away and his thoughts came back.
"What's wrong with you?" people around him asked Ouyang Heng.
"Oh, it's okay," Ouyang Heng adjusted his emotions quickly. After completely adjusting his emotions, Ouyang Heng said, "What do you think of the project we just talked about?"
Everyone was talking about work again, so what happened just now was just a small episode and no one paid it any mind.
After Ouyang Heng chatted for a while, he saw Gong Siyu walking over.
Ouyang Heng had no choice but to end the chat about the previously agreed schedule. After greeting the people around him, Gong Siyu happened to come over, and the two of them left together to go to the location arranged by Song Xiaoxuan.
…
Chu Ruofei took a taxi home. She looked at the scenery outside the window and was in a trance. Until she returned to the apartment, Chu Ruofei felt so tired. She changed her shoes, took off her coat, and walked to the sofa.
He walked aside and then slumped directly on the sofa, staring blankly ahead.
