However, Su Chen's thoughts weren't as complicated as hers. His thoughts were simple and crude. He frowned slightly and asked her in disbelief," Do I embarrass you by your side?"”
" That's not what I meant…" Yi Xiangnuan waved his hand to explain. He cowered and tried to hide behind Su Chen. She felt that she really admired the person who designed this meeting room. She could feel the warm gazes from everyone inside without even looking.
Su Chen saw that he was dodging and turned his head slightly. He immediately understood and smiled playfully." It's been so long since you and I joined the company. Do you think this news hasn't reached the ears of others?”He paused for a moment and gently squeezed her wrist to comfort her." You have my surname now, so there's nothing to hide.”
Yi Xiangnuan knew that he couldn't underestimate the power of words, but how was she supposed to tell Su Chen that she wasn't worried about that? He must not be able to understand a girl's train of thought, she thought, and explained to him in a way that she thought he could accept."That's why I want you to let go. Don't you know that many things will undergo a qualitative change in the end? It'll be very difficult for me if you do this. A tall tree attracts the wind, do you understand?”
Su Chen ignored her and refused to let go. He walked in openly and said in a disdainful tone," You have me to back you up. You can do whatever you want."”
Yi Xiangnuan wasn't as strong as he was, so he was practically dragging her in. Although she couldn't see herself, she didn't need to think to know that her expression must be very embarrassed. The people inside looked back and forth between her and Su Chen. They were all shocked, but they quickly regained their composure. Su Chen walked to the front of the table and opened the seat on his right for her to sit down. Opposite him was Jiang Xinran, whom she hadn't seen for a long time.
Jiang Xinran had changed a lot in the past five years. She still remembered that when she first entered university, she always wore a pure cotton and linen dress. Her black hair was always neatly combed behind her back, almost reaching her waist. She did not put on any makeup on her face, but her eyebrows and eyes were very beautiful. She was always quiet and alone, holding her books as she walked along the tree-lined streets of the campus. It made people feel that she was calm and peaceful.
At that time, she was like a flower blooming in a chaotic world, out of place with the bustling and noisy surroundings. Yi Xiangnuan thought that it was probably because of this that she had aroused the desire to protect her.
But now, Jiang Xinran had changed.
Not only were her clothes and appearance wrapped in gorgeous luxury brands, but her eyes were also as clear as water.
Jiang Xinran looked at her coldly for two seconds and silently looked away.
Yi Xiangnuan lowered his head and smiled bitterly in his heart.
Of course, Su Chen didn't notice the undercurrent in their eyes. He lifted his chin slightly and gestured for everyone to open the folder in front of him. He said coldly,""This is the proposal for the renovation of the resort given to me by the design department. I believe you know the contents better than me. To be honest, I'm very dissatisfied.”
The proposal that they had prepared for a long time was rejected by the boss. No one felt comfortable, especially Jiang Xinran. As the head of the design department, Su Chen didn't even take a fancy to her proposal. When she received his call last night, her heart had already turned cold. Now, he had called a meeting to announce his dissatisfaction in front of everyone, including Yi Xiangnuan.
This was the person she hated the most and was most unwilling to lose to her.
Jiang Xinran was usually very sociable in the office. She would often buy them afternoon tea and occasionally treat them to dinner. Everyone knew that she and Su Chen were schoolmates, and the boss treated her differently. She had been the main force of the design department since she joined the company. In less than half a year, she had already become a supervisor. Anyone who understood things would know how to treat her.
They all thought that Jiang Xinran would be the most suitable candidate for Su Chen's future wife, but she was intercepted by her heartless sister halfway. Coupled with the so-called " abandoned by her adoptive father and adopted sister," everyone felt even more sorry for her.
Yan Na and Jiang Xinran had a good relationship. They were the type who would usually eat, shop, and watch movies together. Now that Su Chen had embarrassed her in public, she couldn't stand it anymore and said,""President Su, Supervisor Jiang has spent a lot of effort on this design proposal. She has been looking for information and field trips everywhere. She stays in the office until midnight every day…"
"Isn't this what she should do? Since when did he become someone who wanted to take credit and beg for mercy?”Su Chen's sharp glare scared Yan Na so much that she immediately shut up. He looked at everyone's faces and said,""I'm not giving you a salary to give me something that I won't be satisfied with, nor will the investors be satisfied with. If it's like what Yan Na said just now, and you guys spent so much effort to only give me this defective product, I think I might have to think about your abilities.”
Su Chen looked at Jiang Xinran when he said the last sentence.
His evaluation was cold and merciless. Jiang Xinran could not help but feel nervous. Her expression was even uglier than before. She said apologetically,"I'm sorry, President Su. Please give me a little more time. I'll definitely come up with a design proposal that will satisfy you.”
"No need-"
Su Chen rejected her without hesitation, which made Jiang Xinran doubt her ears. She looked at him in disbelief. She could not help but feel nervous and worried. What did he mean by rejecting her? Did he reject her participation this time or every time in the future?
Su Chen clasped his fingers together, looking impatient." I don't want to waste any more time. I have a new proposal here. Listen carefully.”
Then, under everyone's puzzled gazes, she turned to Yi Xiangnuan. Her expression gradually softened as she asked softly,""Are you ready?"
Yi Xiangnuan nodded. He pushed his seat away and got up, handing his portable hard drive to Jing Yan before waiting for the projector screen in front of him to display the image. After she had told Su Chen about her idea yesterday, he had asked her to make a simple PowerPoint presentation. However, he only told her this morning that he was going to adopt the proposal. He also told her to prepare to present her ideas and ideas to the design department at the meeting this morning.#
