Chapter 157
Li Bei sat next to Song Luokui, taking out some documents and reporting the situation to her, also mentioning some matters within the company.
"Someone is offering a high price to poach Miss Zhou. Although Miss Zhou's contract is still with our company, it will be useless if someone can help her pay the breach of contract fee."
Song Luokui: "Which company wants to poach her? Zhou QingRong's thoughts are more important, what does she think about it currently?"
Li Bei: "For now, she doesn't seem to have any intention of leaving the company, but we can't be sure about the future." After all, their company is just a small one in the entertainment circle, and it's understandable if she wants to jump ship to a bigger company.
Song Luokui: "If she wants to leave, there's nothing we can do about it. Let them poach her if they want."
Li Bei: "It seems there's also someone threatening her that if she doesn't go, they'll release her dark secrets, though it's still unclear what those dark secrets are."
Song Luokui: "Didn't we investigate her background before signing the contract? Is there something she hid from us or did something happen later on?"
Li Bei: "It's still uncertain, as we don't know what those dark secrets are. That side only made threats. But Yu Manager should be able to handle it properly."
Song Luokui nodded: "That's good then." Picking up a pen, Song Luokui signed document after document, asking for clarification when she didn't understand something. Chi Yu stood by without a word, being the first time he saw his beloved working so diligently, which was quite attractive.
Li Bei stayed there for about two hours. During lunchtime, she also had her meal there. She noticed Chi Yu carefully supporting his wife, Song Luokui, as she walked with an awkward gait, Li Bei's gaze suddenly became somewhat suggestive...
As soon as Song Luokui turned her head and saw her look, she immediately said: "I got hurt from horseback riding yesterday, haha."
Li Bei realized, thinking it was... excessive intimacy.
While eating, she noticed Chi Yu's attentive care towards his wife, it was natural care. She sighed at her boss's charm. Well, if she were a man, with her boss's appearance, she would want to cherish her in the palm of her hand too.
After finishing the meal, Li Bei left with a bag of fruits. Before leaving, she suddenly remembered something, "By the way, Yu Manager said they will be preparing for the company's annual party before the new year. I wanted to ask if the boss will attend?"
Song Luokui thought for a moment and nodded, "I'll attend."
"Okay, I'll report back to Yu Manager."
"Mm-hmm."
After Li Bei left, Chi Yu asked: "When is your company's annual party? Can I come along?"
Song Luokui looked at his expectant gaze, "You want to attend? What about your company's annual party?"
The receptionist was already familiar with her and knew about her relationship with the big boss. Upon seeing her, the receptionist warmly approached her, "Miss Song, you're here. The elevator is this way, let me take you up. The boss is waiting for you upstairs."
Song Luokui smiled at her: "Thank you."
Taking the direct elevator to Chi Yu's office, as soon as the doors opened, she met his gaze. Chi Yu made a call to have tea and snacks brought in.
When Song Luokui arrived, she thought of a question and asked Chi Yu: "Will that Miss Chen Xinyuan still be waiting for you downstairs?"
Chi Yu thought for a moment before recalling who she was referring to, "No, she has latched onto someone from the Wei Family and hasn't shown up here since."
Song Luokui: "So does that mean the Chen Xinyuan family is now on the same boat as the Wei Family?"
Chi Yu: "Probably temporarily. After all, there are no permanent friends."
Song Luokui: "You're right. But our families will be..."
Chi Yu took her hand, "We will have the most solid kinship relationship."
Song Luokui blushed, murmuring: "It hasn't reached that stage yet." They were just dating.
Chi Yu: "To outsiders, it already appears to be that kind of relationship. Otherwise, people wouldn't be so eager to break us up. Didn't someone try to... murder me when I treated my brothers to a meal at the restaurant before?"
Song Luokui's mouth twitched, glaring at him, "That should be called seduction."
Chi Yu chuckled lightly, "Seducing me and trying to murder me are the same thing." If he seduced Song Luokui, wouldn't that mean trying to break up her relationship with her sweetheart? If his sweetheart broke up with him, he'd feel like it was no different from murder.
Song Luokui said, "So someone was scheming behind the scenes."
Chi Yu nodded, "Yes, and the person who tried to approach you at school before was the same. It was all premeditated, so don't trust other men easily, okay?"
Song Luokui poked his face, "You shouldn't easily trust other women either."
Chi Yu leaned in and kissed her cheek, "I only trust you."
Song Luokui yawned, since she had to go to the company in the morning, she had woken up a little early today, and it was just noon now, the perfect time for an afternoon nap.
Chi Yu pulled her to a side resting room, "Want to take a nap with me?"
