They stood in formation at the entrance of the villa, waiting for Ouyang Jue's inspection.
"It's already past 8, Sister Annie and the others should have already woken up."
Ning Caier was woken up by Ouyang Jue's voice and she blurrily rolled over on the sofa, allowing her feet to stand on the floor. Last night, she promised Evil Woman that she would take a photo here and discuss the topic of the next round. Annie's biggest annoyance was waiting for someone. She might already be angry by now.
"What are you looking at?"
Ning Caier anxiously looked for her shoes, but when she found that Ouyang Jue was still standing by the window without moving, she thought that Qin Lang had returned, so she naturally stood by his side and placed a hand on his shoulder to give him strength.
The two of them appeared at the same time with a dishevelled appearance, causing the employees at the entrance of the villa to become quiet. They had long heard of the rumors regarding Ouyang Jue and Ning Caier, but they never thought that not only did the two of them like a relationship in the office, they even liked to stay at the office for the night.
They knew they should not pry into their superiors' affairs, so this time they all turned away from the door of the villa.
"I'll open the door and let them in." Ning Caier had not woken up yet, when she saw that everyone was walking around at the door, she immediately wanted them to come in to work. Originally, she had planned to tidy up this villa and give everyone a welcoming party, but it was obviously too late now, so she could only keep all of this for the night.
However, Ouyang Jue grabbed onto her, and pointed to the clothes on Ning Caier's body that were in a mess, "Do you really plan on using this posture to welcome them?"
Looking at the miserable Ouyang Jue and the pleated skirt on his body, Ning Caier suddenly understood why those people had wanted to leave just now. She shook her head hard and wanted to scream.
"Listen to me. Don't explain otherwise no one will believe you. It will only get more and more chaotic." Ouyang Jue liked conclusive evidence like this. In any case, in the eyes of others, Ning Caier was already the Lady Boss, and now it was only the Boss and the Lady Boss communicating normally.
"Twenty minutes, hurry up and change your clothes." Ning Caier took a deep breath, she picked up a set of professional wear from the shelves, then ran to the bathroom to tidy herself up as much as possible, while Ouyang Jue also picked up a set of men's wear from the shelves. These were all clothes that were sponsored by the line brands, as a congratulatory gift, they were delivered to the branch company, they did not expect to be used so quickly.
Ning Caier walked out of the bathroom with her hair slightly wet. She had already changed out of her pure white dress and put on a set of professional attire, with a classic white shirt on top and wide pants with a high waist. Her long hair carelessly draped over her shoulders, revealing the diamond earrings from time to time. This set of professional clothes was very sexy, and it was a pretty good set of clothes that could be compatible with a professional.
As for Ouyang Jue, he had also changed into a dark blue striped suit, suitable for the banquet. But for the employees of this new company, they didn't care what their master was wearing. If they changed their clothes, then this' cohabitation 'was not a temporary passion, but rather a premeditated one.
"This is the project the company is currently working on. The basic plan has been worked out. We will have a meeting to discuss the details and implementation part. The conference room will be assembled in ten minutes."
Ning Caier passed on the information in her hands to everyone. Right now, there were many projects to follow up on, so she had prepared the information ahead of time and also made the basic assignment based on everyone's characteristics. She was extremely thankful that she did her homework in advance, if not, she would not know how to end today's awkward scene.
The employees below were all elites carefully selected by Ouyang Jue, they were already used to such a high working intensity. When several projects were started at the same time, it was a huge burden for the newly formed companies.
"The atmosphere at work is good. I think the performance of this branch will definitely get better every day. If you need any resources, you can tell me."
When Ouyang Jue saw the working conditions of these people, he felt that it was not bad. Furthermore, the difficulty of these projects were just right for Ning Caier, this newly opened company.
Ouyang Jue only hoped that before Bai Youya entered the board of directors, he could arrange everything in this branch company to be the best. Otherwise, once that woman was on the board of directors, no matter what he did for Ning Caier, there would be a fierce battle going on.
"You've already given me a lot of resources, so I'll have to see how this branch president develops. If not, why did you put me in this position?"
Ning Caier was glad that everyone had entered into their work state, she felt that they would quickly forget about what happened this morning, so after arranging the work, she planned to call Evil Woman and make an appointment to take photos. Her current work schedule was too full, and she might have to hold a meeting before she had the time to discuss about the details of the column.
However, Ning Caier could arrange an employee to bring Annie around the villa. Yesterday, she was very interested in this place and had continuously said that she wanted to buy a villa, so she could come over from time to time for vacation.
But Evil Woman seemed to be angry and no one was able to pick up her phone. Ning Caier could not help but call the security guards here to see if Evil Woman's car had left.
"Director Ning, there's a Miss Annie looking for you outside the door." Just when Ning Caier felt that she was hesitating, Annie actually took the initiative to look for her. She quickly went downstairs to welcome her, only to discover that Annie was wearing casual clothes, she was standing at the door with a smile on her face.
"I'm sorry, Sister Annie. It was a bit messy here in the morning, I was just about to call you to make an appointment." When Ning Caier saw Annie, he immediately tried to explain. However, Annie, who always had a strict time requirement, shook her head with a smile this time.
"You woke up earlier than I thought. I thought you'd sleep with Ouyang Ziyun until noon." Annie shook the phone in her hand and sent the photo to Ning Caier. Her words made the originally calm office start to boil again, they couldn't help but to guess how intense the situation was yesterday, to be able to make the always serious Evil Woman smile like this.
"Sister Annie, didn't you want to take a photo? Let's go up and talk." Ning Caier found an excuse to bring Annie to her office, she wanted to ask her to delete that photo, "Sister Annie, the CEO and I are not the kind of relationship you think we are, it's just that she was in a bad mood yesterday, I just wanted to comfort him a little."
Ning Caier looked at the restless crowd downstairs. Although everyone was still working methodically, the smile on her face made it so that she wouldn't have the face to be this CEO ever again.
"Cai'er, I'm still a few years older than you. I can clearly tell what is a comforting hug and what is a sincere hug. This photo will be left as a souvenir for you and Ouyang Jue, I won't publish it."
Annie deleted the photo in front of Ning Caier with her phone after that, and left her office smiling, Ning Caier saw that she patted Ouyang Jue's shoulder to show her encouragement, and the smile in their eyes made Ning Caier too shy to even go out of the office.
Ning Caier's face flushed red, she quickly deleted the picture on her phone. However, deleting a picture was easy, but it was very difficult to delete the words of Evil Woman from her heart. Her eyes were fixed on the papers on the table, but her mind wandered to last night. The warmth of last night lingered in her mind, making her thoughts chaotic.
Ning Caier could not help but glance down at the building. Ouyang Jue had already returned to the main branch office in the city, and with the huge incident yesterday, he had to return to the main branch office to take care of it.
Ning Caier started to worry about the situation he was facing. She stared at the piece of paper for half an hour, and still couldn't see a single word.
"Director Ning, it's a meeting." The secretary went up to give Ning Caier a reminder, but seeing her blushing face, the secretary couldn't help but laugh out, "Director Ning, do you want to turn on the air conditioner?"
"No, I'll be there in ten minutes." Ning Caier felt that she had shamed herself too much today. After the secretary left, she dipped her head into the bathroom's water bowl and used cold water to keep herself awake so that she wouldn't continue to let her imagination run wild.
She felt that the thing that happened last night was a betrayal of her towards Han Yuqi, so she even panicked a little when she picked up the phone and almost dropped her phone into the water basin.
"Yu Qi, why are you calling?" Ning Caier's voice trembled a little. She tried his best to appear a bit more gentle, but this intentionally gentle tone made Han Yuqi feel that there was something wrong with her.
"It's your new company opening today. Shouldn't I call you? I was too busy yesterday to congratulate you. How was it? Everything went smoothly?"
Han Yuqi had to give himself a reason to return to his homeland. Since this matter had already been made clear, he had to quickly hand over the procedures for transferring the rights to Bai Youya and deal with that Qin Lang together with her. Thus, he continuously probed Ning Caier, as long as she told him what happened yesterday, he could immediately buy a plane ticket back.
"Everything is going smoothly. Nothing is going well." Ning Caier's mind was in a mess right now. She was afraid that Han Yuqi would misunderstand the relationship between her and Ouyang Jue, so she didn't mention a word of what had happened last night, including that major event that had happened in Heavenly Ao.
"Is that so? It's good that you're fine."
Han Yuqi had clearly told him that Ning Caier knew about the change in Tian Ao's shares, but for her to choose to hide such a huge matter from him, could it be that he had already exposed a flaw in front of Ouyang Jue, so even she had to draw a clear line between them now?
"Cai'er, I heard my friend say that Qin Lang was here yesterday, why would he be attending your branch company's opening ceremony? I keep having the feeling that this person is a bit evil, it's better if you don't interact more with him."
Han Yuqi could only take a step further to direct Ning Caier's thoughts onto Qin Lang. He felt that he had already said everything very clearly, even if it was his friends who would reveal some of what happened last night, Ning Caier still did not speak of it.
"It's really good, Yu Qi, I'm going for a meeting, I'll talk to you later." Ning Caier was unable to face him right now, so she quickly hung up the phone. She used her work to constantly numb herself, sleeping in the office almost every day to prevent herself from thinking about the warmth in Ouyang Jue's arms again.
