Chapter 145: Chapter 0145: If He Proposes, I Will Marry Him
Ye Xunhuan happened to be returning to Tang Yurou’s office at the same time that Tang Yurou was heading to Qiu Ruoxi’s office, and thus the two of them just missed each other.
After arriving at the doorway of Qiu Ruoxi’s office, Tang Yurou very politely knocked on the door and waited until Qiu Ruoxi said to come in before she entered from outside.
After walking into the office, Tang Yurou was slightly taken aback.
She had thought that Qiu Ruoxi wanted to see her because something had happened to Ye Xunhuan, but Ye Xunhuan was not here at all.
Where had Ye Xunhuan gone?
Could he have gone back?
Then what did Qiu Ruoxi want with her?
For a moment, numerous thoughts flashed through Tang Yurou’s mind.
At this instant, Qiu Ruoxi regained that commanding presence of a powerful businesswoman, saying coldly, "Sit!"
Upon hearing Qiu Ruoxi’s words, Tang Yurou didn’t sit down right away but rather stood respectfully in place, "President, I can just stand!"
Since starting work, Tang Yurou had always been one of the front-line staff and never had the chance to get close to Qiu Ruoxi. Now, even though she had been promoted to the head of the Supervision Department, in her bones, she still considered herself nothing more than a front-line employee, so she did not dare to sit casually.
"Sit down and let’s talk," Qiu Ruoxi said again.
Only then did Tang Yurou slowly take a seat, "President, is there something you wanted to see me about?"
"It’s nothing much!" Qiu Ruoxi placed both hands on the desk, her fingers tented together, speaking with an even expression, "I just wanted to ask you, are you adapting well to the work now?"
"It’s manageable!"
"You’ve just started, so take everything slowly," Qiu Ruoxi, in this moment, was akin to a considerate boss, instructing Tang Yurou with patience, "But also, don’t be scared because you’ve just started and others might think less of you."
"You are the head of the Supervision Department. If anyone has issues or makes mistakes, you have the right to criticize them sternly, or even subject them to a company-wide sanction!" Qiu Ruoxi spoke softly, "If anyone doesn’t respect you, you can come to me or go to General Manager Qin!"
"Of course, if there are those who don’t cooperate with your work, you needn’t be polite to them. Do what needs to be done without hesitation, or you will struggle to establish your authority in the eyes of others. Understand?"
"I understand," Tang Yurou nodded, "I will definitely try my best and not let you down!"
"That’s good to hear," Qiu Ruoxi nodded with satisfaction, "Never think of yourself as just an ordinary employee. You are an executive!"
"Yes!"
"How’s it going with the material I asked you to look over?"
"I haven’t finished reading it yet," Tang Yurou said quietly, almost as if she were afraid of upsetting Qiu Ruoxi.
"Take your time, don’t rush. If there’s anything you don’t understand, you can come to me or General Manager Qin with questions. As for the others, better not ask them," Qiu Ruoxi advised, "They will not tell you honestly because the Supervision Department is too special of a department. Everyone has to show you some respect, and the tasks you handle are those that offend people!"
"So sometimes, you also need to gauge the situation correctly."
Qiu Ruoxi couldn’t help but give Tang Yurou another lesson.
"I will!"
Tang Yurou seemed very constrained in front of Qiu Ruoxi.
It couldn’t be helped; after all, Qiu Ruoxi was her boss, she had never been an executive at a company before, not to mention that Qiu Ruoxi’s presence was somewhat too overpowering.
"Do you have any questions that you need to ask me?"
Tang Yurou shook her head, "Anything I didn’t understand, Xunhuan had already explained to me!"
"Ye Xunhuan?" Qiu Ruoxi’s brow furrowed slightly, "That scoundrel..."
Speaking of which, Qiu Ruoxi seemed to realize something and hurriedly started, "He also understands these things?"
"Yeah," Tang Yurou immediately caught the conversation when Ye Xunhuan was mentioned, speaking with zest, "Xunhuan knows a lot, and he’s pretty experienced, too. He explained things to me that I didn’t understand, and he even taught me some things I didn’t know!"
"He’s like a walking encyclopedia, knows everything."
As she spoke, a radiant and dazzling smile like a summer flower slowly bloomed on Tang Yurou’s face.
"It seems Ye Xunhuan treats you well!"
"Mm, Xunhuan is really good to me, takes care of everything for me!" Tang Yurou didn’t notice anything off in Qiu Ruoxi’s voice, and said without a second thought.
Qiu Ruoxi felt so vexed, thinking why couldn’t this bastard be a little nicer to me? Am I uglier than Tang Yurou?
Was Qiu Ruoxi uglier than Tang Yurou?
No, Qiu Ruoxi was prettier than Tang Yurou, and even more enchantingly charming; they just followed different paths.
Qiu Ruoxi was like a hedgehog, bristled with spines all over, jabbing anyone who touched her, while Tang Yurou took the cat approach, gentle and endearing, a woman who looked so vulnerable that people couldn’t help but want to embrace and cherish her.
"Do you really like him?"
"Mm, Xunhuan he..."
She was only halfway through her sentence when Tang Yurou seemed to realize something, and the radiant smile on her face, like a summer flower, suddenly froze, and at the same time, her expression turned somewhat unsightly, "President Qiu, I..."
"It’s nothing!" Qiu Ruoxi said indifferently, "The company hasn’t made a rule forbidding employees from dating."
"I was just asking casually, take it as small talk between us!"
Upon hearing Qiu Ruoxi saying this, Tang Yurou let out a sigh of relief and felt reassured.
"Don’t be too nervous, I’m not a tiger. What, could I actually eat you up?"
Tang Yurou slowly forced a strained smile onto her face.
"I just heard them say downstairs that you and Ye Xunhuan are going to hold a banquet, is that true?"
"No!" Tang Yurou didn’t think it over, and immediately denied it, "It was President You and President Zhao who said it, then Xunhuan started chatting with them."
Towards Qiu Ruoxi, Tang Yurou was almost completely unguarded.
As Qiu Ruoxi heard Tang Yurou’s words, the gloom in her heart slowly started to dissipate. This bastard, he dared to lie to me.
"If Ye Xunhuan really were to marry you, what would you do?"
"I..." Tang Yurou was momentarily at a loss for words, hesitating to answer.
She had never thought about this question.
Although she really liked Ye Xunhuan, when it came to marriage, she had no preparation at all.
Qiu Ruoxi didn’t urge Tang Yurou, but quietly waited for her to give an answer.
After a long while, Tang Yurou spoke softly, "If he truly wants to marry me, I will definitely marry him!" 𝓷ℴ𝓋𝓅𝓊𝒷.𝒸𝓸𝓶
Upon hearing Tang Yurou’s words, Qiu Ruoxi’s heart was immediately filled with anger, itching to slam the table and tell Tang Yurou there’s no way she could marry Ye Xunhuan, he was already married to me, he was mine!
Feeling furious, Qiu Ruoxi was also deeply puzzled; what kind of love potion had Ye Xunhuan fed Tang Yurou to make her so willingly agree to marry him in just a few days.
Qiu Ruoxi managed to suppress this impulsive feeling with a terrifying willpower and took a deep breath, "You understand him, know what kind of person he is, and yet you’re willing to marry him!"
