C65

After a long night of deliberation, Chu Li finally made up her mind.

Everything went on as usual. He got up and washed up with a light makeup, then carefully and carefully put away the Cartier box, along with the necklace and the pink heart of his slightly swaying love, and left the room.

But even in the silence of the street, Chu Li's heart was noisy and complicated. She was reluctant to let a rare chance to fall in love be so realistic and so cruelly killed by her own hands in the cradle, but if she agreed to Jiang Yunxian's confession just like that, it would create many problems that she had never thought about before.

Chu Li had already had a failed marriage, and she decided that she couldn't let herself suffer a second time. Whether Jiang Yunxian was really good or not, they really weren't suitable, so she had to make a rational judgement before she could get involved with the anticipated trouble.

Therefore, she took a deep breath and walked forward in high spirits. She began to think of what she should say when she met Jiang Yunxian.

On Thursday, the sky was a bit unusual, as if it was the same as usual. Chu Li was curious as to why everyone in the office seemed to be sending messages to each other. It was very similar to the time when they were gossiping about his relationship with Jiang Yunxian.

But Chu Li was sure that everyone's eyes were not on him, but on the gossip news outside the design department.

She didn't think too much about it. Normally, this kind of scene didn't interest her. Instead of sitting around listening to a song, or trying to find inspiration, she would rather be alone. Even if it wasn't time for work yet, she still wanted to be alone.

Unable to delay any longer, Chu Li looked down at the jewelry box in her bag, stood up and headed to the CEO's office.

The office door was slightly covered, and there were voices of people conversing inside the office. Perhaps it was the secretary, Little Yang, reporting on his work! Chu Li didn't mind. He knocked on the door a few times. Jiang Yunxian's voice came from inside.

"Come in."

Chu Li answered and saw a beautiful woman she had never seen before sitting on the sofa to her left. Her long, shiny black hair matched her fine black V-neck dress, and the orange lipstick accentuated her already white skin, making it seem as clear as snow. Chu Li noticed that she was holding Jiang Yunxian's usual teacup in her hand.

Seeing Chu Mu enter, Jiang Yunxian seemed to be stunned for a moment. His mouth slightly opened, and after a long while he asked, "Do you have something to say?"

In addition to being surprised, Chu Li also saw the strong anticipation in Jiang Yunxian's eyes. Was he waiting for his answer? But Chu's sixth sense told her that the woman sitting in Jiang's office had an extraordinary background and must have a deep relationship with Jiang.

Chu Li subconsciously kept his distance and put the gift box behind him, causing unnecessary misunderstandings.

"Hey, Yunxian, this one is from your company? I came all the way back to date you and work with you, you should let me know who your company's talents are, right? "

The woman on the sofa stood up, her well-proportioned and tall figure outlined by her skirt was almost perfect. Coupled with her 10 centimeters tall heels, she looked quite impressive when she walked over, almost half a head taller than Chu Li.

The woman smiled, her tone seemingly warm, but only Chu Li could hear the mixed emotions in her tone.

Jiang Yunxian also walked over with an unnatural smile on his face. "This is Chu Li, the chief designer of the royal family."

Before the woman could finish, she laughed and extended a hand to Chu Li, "Hello, I'm Yunxian's girlfriend, Murong Bai." As he spoke, he used one hand to hold Jiang Yunxian's arm.

Murong Bai? No wonder they seemed so close! Chu Li could not help but think back to that day in the hotel when Jiang Yunxian's mind was in a state of chaos. So the ex-girlfriend that he had been yearning for was this person in front of him?

There was not enough shock to describe Chu Li's current state of mind. Subconsciously, she hid the jewelry box even tighter. How could she reply to that? Aren't you asking for trouble? Perhaps Jiang Yunxian was only joking with him in the beginning? She couldn't believe what she was seeing, but the glittering Murong Bai was standing right in front of her. They were right.

"Don't you have something to say?" Jiang Yunxian asked Chu Li as he quietly took away Murong Bai's hand. Murong Bai's brows were tightly knitted, as if he had some kind of problem to solve.

However, Chu Li didn't want to do that. He had just confessed to her yesterday and was showing off his girlfriend in the company. It could be said that he was even better than Fang Yuhao.

"Oh …" Actually, I just wanted to ask the designer about the preliminary competition. When will the result be? If I am lucky enough to get in, I need to make a careful list of the next jobs. " Chu Li pretended to be calm, but there was a distinct coldness in his tone.

"The official announcement will be made next week, but we can get the news a little earlier and we'll let you know when the time comes."

"Ok, thank you. I'll go back to work first."

Chu Li let out a sigh of relief as he quietly left the room. Fortunately, Murong Bai didn't see the jewelry box.

This situation was a little awkward. Chu Li was angry at what Jiang Yunxian had done, but if she thought about it carefully, it would do her good. Since she had already decided to reject him, she might as well save herself the trouble.

However, there was no reason for him to keep the necklace. Of course, he couldn't return it in front of Jiang Yunxian's real girlfriend. He might even cause a misunderstanding!

However, after standing in the corner for a long time, Chu Li was still in a daze. How should he explain the various insinuations and explicit actions that Jiang Yunxian had previously made to him? Are you joking? Lemon, Lemon, do you really like daydreaming? How could he not know what she was like when compared to Murong Bai? Jiang Yunxian has no interest in you at all, right?

Although she was spared the difficult choice, Chu Li seemed to hear a sound somewhere in her heart that was more like glass falling and shattering, until it finally shattered into something smaller than dust, and then her already empty heart became even emptier, almost devoid of anything.

Sitting in the office all day long, her mind preoccupied with a mountain of designs that she hadn't even had time to review, another pile had been delivered, and while she was answering, her heart was beating fast outside.

Chu Li wasn't the only one who was focused on the outside today, but everyone was simply gossiping.

"Hey, I heard that he's our boss's ex-girlfriend. She just came back from abroad!"

"Is that so? Her looks are pretty good, her temperament is pretty, and looking at her dressing and walking appearance, she should be a goddess, and a goddess with capabilities, right? "

"I haven't seen my boss bring a girl here in all these years, so I thought my boss was cold or had a different orientation from us! "Looks like it's true love. To be able to make peace after being separated for so long, it must be true love."

"I don't think so. Don't you know the principle that if a good horse doesn't eat back then it will become useless?" As for those who had broken up before, those who were able to reunite with each other in the end are most likely not suitable. "

Chu Li was already forcing herself to focus on the manuscript, but she was getting annoyed when the gossip from her colleagues rushed into her ears.

Through the transparent glass wall, Chu Li could clearly see the corridor and the spiral staircase outside. For the whole day, she had witnessed the scene of Murong Bai running up and down with Jiang Yunxian no less than ten times.

Chu decided that he did not want to see Jiang Yunxian for the time being, nor did he want to enter the CEO's office.

However, as soon as the decision was made, Chu Li realized that he had several documents that he had to sign for Jiang Yunxian, because today was the time of the collective review. Although there were usually no problems, Chu Li did not want to go against the rules, so she had to force herself to bring some of the designs she had picked out and the creative drawings she had made for the new model to the CEO's office.

As expected, Murong Bai was still accompanying him. A ripple of emotion rose up in Chu Li's heart, but it didn't waver and was immediately rejuvenated by her rationality.

"I feel that they are pretty good. They can be considered to be very special. Sure enough, under your guidance, they are able to take advantage of their strong points and make up for their weak points. They have improved a lot compared to before."

Jiang Yunxian gave a nod of approval before continuing, "If you have any new season products, you can do it according to your current thoughts. If you have any questions, you can come and find me anytime."

At this moment, Murong Bai, who was sitting beside them and reading a magazine, stood up. He picked up the painting with a smile on his face and said, "Is this your design?" to be the idea for a quarterly new product? "

"Yes." "Yes," Chu Li replied.

Murong Bai used his slender fingers to pick up the design draft at the very top. He read through it carefully and with a slight raise of his eyebrows, he said, "I have some suggestions that I don't know if you're willing to listen to. Although it was a new season, there was no need to limit it to the features of the season. In fact, everyone who knew about fashion knew that it was an unseasonably dressed season, with long-sleeved shirts for summer and short skirts for winter. Also, wasn't this tone a bit too simple and elegant? "The Emperor isn't a brand that targets middle-aged people …"

"Mm …" "Actually …"

"Actually, you can be more imaginative. I think you might not have seen too much actual collocation. I won't be able to get through the door like this, and the department's work schedule you're working on is completely unprofessional. It would be very incongruous to print out the font and size." Murong Bai didn't give Chu Li a chance to explain. He confidently expressed her personal opinion, saying that "I don't know if you want to listen to me" was completely useless, as if she was merely a form of etiquette.

Mu Rong Bai was a bit overbearing, while Chu Li stood there in a daze.
