The light elegant smile that was habitually lifted on her lips in the summer, she looked at Qi Qingfeng gently and said: "Qi Qingfeng, I know you're angry at me, but after you finish listening to my explanation, you might …"
"Why should I be angry?"
Qi Qingfeng's indifferent eyes glanced over Xia Xia Mu, and looked at her almost expressionlessly. His voice was colder than his expression.
In practically an instant, Xia Xia Mu felt the oppressive feeling coming from Qi Qingfeng's body.
An invisible deterrence made it difficult for her to breathe …
"I... I know you don't like me to be your physiotherapist here, but I think... "
"I know I don't like it, so I shouldn't have come." Qi Qingfeng interrupted Xia Zhi's words with a deadpan expression, his voice still incomparably cold.
"…"
Yu Xiaoxiao looked at the summer day where she was stopped by Qi Qingfeng's two sentences to the point where she couldn't say a single word, and suddenly felt some sympathy for her.
Encountering such an unromantic man was like burning a fire in winter. Even after he burned himself to ashes, the other party would still be unable to feel any heat.
"You'd better give it up. I don't need a physiotherapist." Qi Qingfeng coldly looked at the summer, and said word by word.
Xia Zhi bit his lips as he folded his hands worriedly.
After a long while, she raised her head again and looked at Qi Qingfeng, forcing out a smile: "Even though it's like this, I still want to try my best. After all, isn't Miss Yu your physiotherapist?"
"…"
Seemingly too lazy to bother with the summer, Qi Qingfeng only coldly looked at the summer without saying a single word.
"Inside... "Cough, cough …" Yu Xiaoxiao coughed lightly, trying to attract other people's attention, "Do we still need to return to the conference room? Will they wait too long? "
"It's alright, Miss Yu." Xia Xia gave a light smile, raising his hand and landing it on Yu Xiaoxiao's shoulder, "I'll go negotiate with the board of directors then, can we talk for a bit?"
Since Qi Qingfeng's path was blocked, he could only start from Yu Xiaoxiao's side.
She only wanted to have more chances to get along with Qi Qingfeng so that he would pay attention to her.
"Can I have a word with you?" Yu Xiaoxiao pointed to herself with her pinky finger, looking at Xia Xia Xia with some disbelief: "Are you sure you want to find me, not the Mr. Qi?"
Xia Chen nodded, smiled, and said: "I am sure the Miss Yu is looking for you."
"Alright then." Yu Xiaoxiao shrugged her shoulders, and casually took a step to the side: "Alright, it's already been one step, what do you want to say?"
"Eh …" Xia Zhi was slightly startled, his refined eyebrows twitched, and he embarrassedly pulled at the corner of his lips, saying: "Miss Yu, I sincerely want to talk to you alone …"
As Xia Yi spoke, her indifferent and elegant eyes followed Yu Xiaoxiao and floated behind him, then retracted back.
Her meaning was extremely obvious. She wanted to talk to Yu Xiaoxiao alone. Furthermore, she did not want Qi Qingfeng to know the content of their conversation.
Yu Xiaoxiao curled her lips, hesitated for a moment, and said: "Alright."
She shrugged her small shoulders, turned around and said to Ye Ran who was beside her: "I'll have to trouble you to bring Mr. Qi out first, I'll be there shortly."
"This …" Ye Ran looked at Qi Qingfeng hesitantly when he heard this, as if he was waiting for him to express his opinion.
But from beginning to end, Qi Qingfeng never had the intention to stop Yu Xiaoxiao.
He merely swept a glance at Yu Xiaoxiao with her indifferent gaze, and spoke with a clear and cold voice. "Let's go."
"Yes, sir." Ye Ran said as he slowly pushed Qi Qingfeng towards the door.
"Creak!" The door was closed from the outside.
For a moment, only Yu Xiaoxiao and Xia Chen were left in the room, and the atmosphere suddenly became strangely quiet.
"Cough, cough." Summer coughed lightly, breaking the awkward atmosphere, "Miss Yu, please sit."
She smiled lightly at Yu Xiaoxiao, and with the usual indifferent and calm smile, indicated that he should sit on the office's sofa.
Yu Xiaoxiao nodded her head slightly, then followed Xia Mu and sat on the office sofa.
Since she had already promised to take a step forward in the summer, Yu Xiaoxiao didn't mind taking a listen to what she had to say.
"Alright, Miss Xia, you can begin." Yu Xiaoxiao and Xia Chen sat facing each other, her chin slightly raised, her momentum not diminishing in the slightest.
Seeing that, Xia Chen smirked and said softly: "Miss Yu need not treat me as a competitor. I am the same as you, and want to help Qi Qingfeng recover his health.
"Is that so?" Yu Xiaoxiao raised her brows, her arms crossed in front of her chest as she looked at summer, still unmoved.
Her small face was expressionless as she waited for her next words while she looked at Xia Xinyan politely.
"Miss Yu seems to be dissatisfied with what I just said," Xia Xia said as she folded her hands in front of him, the smile on her face did not diminish as she continued, "Miss Yu is at ease, your salary will not be reduced by a single cent."
Hearing the salary question, Yu Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes. She speechlessly curled her lips and said: "Whether or not you can become the Mr. Qi's physiotherapist has nothing to do with me. Furthermore, the person you should be asking about is Mr. Qi, not me."
"Since we are going to work together in the future, I naturally want to settle our relationship in advance." Xia Keke pursed her lips again, "Furthermore, I don't want Miss Yu to misunderstand."
"Misunderstanding?" Yu Xiaoxiao's brows twitched as she looked at Xia Xinyan with suspicion. She asked indifferently, "What kind of misunderstanding can we possibly have?"
This was the first time the two of them had met. At most, it could be called a competition among peers, so what kind of misunderstanding could there be?
"If there's no misunderstanding, it's naturally for the best. I also hope that we can get along well with the Miss Yu in the future. After all, our goal is the same, isn't it?" At this point in the summer, she seemed to relax a lot. She slightly shrugged her shoulders and leaned back on the sofa.
"I think the Miss Xia is mistaken. Our goal is different."
Yu Xiaoxiao glanced at Xia Xia Mu before she stood up from the sofa.
She put her hands in the pockets of her jeans and said coldly, "To be exact, we have the same goal in the short term."
She really hoped that Mr. Qi could recover his health, but as for what happened after that …
Thinking of this, Yu Xiaoxiao's lips curved up in a happy smile.
"Short-term goal?" Xia Chen frowned, puzzled. She seemed to not understand why Yu Xiaoxiao said that.
Xia Chen's brows slightly twitched, and a trace of doubt appeared between her eyebrows.
Yu Xiaoxiao nodded, his eyes lifting up as she asked: "Why do you hope for Mr. Qi to recover?"
Yu Xiaoxiao stared fixedly at Xia Yuanba. From the moment she appeared in the conference room, Yu Xiaoxiao knew that Ye Ran recognized her. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so shocked.
