Chapter 473: 473, Qinghuan, knowingly ask
Shi Yuhuan sat in the host’s seat, Song Qinghuan chose the one furthest from him, next to her was Bai Rubing, Bi Yuntao didn’t say anything and just sat down beside her.
This scene left some of the senior management present slightly stunned, especially the current Director of Finance, Yao Jinping.
She wasn’t in the elevator just now, and was somewhat surprised to see Song Qinghuan now. She was even more astounded as she watched the normally reserved Bi Yuntao extend such warm attention toward Song Qinghuan.
Logically, considering Bi Yuntao’s social status and principles, it was highly unlikely that he was unaware of the existence of Song Qinghuan, if so, he should know about the previous rumors and scandals between Shi Yuhuan and Song Qinghuan.
Regardless of whether there was any connection between Song Qinghuan and Shi Yuhuan, depending on their current status, they should choose to keep their distance from her. That’s the best way to survive in the workplace.
Yet, he took the initiative to approach her. If there is indeed something between the two, isn’t he signing his own death warrant?
She wasn’t the only one puzzled. Indeed, the most perplexing of all was Song Qinghuan. Upon returning to the company, the disdain towards her seemed worse than before, but everyone diplomatically avoided provoking her while not offering her any personal intimacy.
They were polite on the surface, but it was unknown how much negative gossip about her circulated behind her back.
Initially, Bi Yuntao couldn’t stand her, but today, regardless the rumors and scandals, he uncharacteristically invited her for a meal.
Did he not believe them? Or was he unaware of them?
She couldn’t bother about that. A course of dishes, including freshly flown-in foie gras and caviar, started to arrive at the table.
Song Qinghuan enjoyed foie gras, but wasn’t adept at cutting it.
Seated beside her, Bi Yuntao, being a perfect gentleman and attentive, noticed she was struggling with the foie gras. He helped cut into sizeable pieces and placed the dish in front of her for her to enjoy at her leisure.
Song Qinghuan gave Bi Yuntao a faint smile as thanks, but immediately, she could sense the atmosphere had become somewhat peculiar.
At this moment, besides Shi Yuhuan, everyone else was looking at her and Bi Yuntao with astonishment.
Everyone was dying to know what was going on. How did Song Qinghuan and the new assistant get involved in such an ambiguous relationship?
Song Qinghuan had resigned earlier, did her sudden return have anything to do with the new assistant?
Numerous questions arose, yet no one dared to voice them.
Only Shi Yuhuan remained calm, without any hint of surprise or anger. He took a sip of red wine with a seemingly nonchalant smile, then started cutting the foie gras on his plate.
Suddenly, Song Qinghuan begins to feel the air become stifling, as if she was struggling for breath.
She glanced at everyone present, felt uneasy, and after finishing the food on her plate, she said to Bi Yuntao and Bai Rubing: “You guys continue, I’m heading to the restroom!”
She quickly got up and walked away, as though someone was chasing her.
Before leaving the restroom, she took a couple of deep breathes, pulled up the corners of her mouth to put on an appropriate smile, then stepped forward and pulled the door open.
Outside the door, she was stunned to see Shi Yuhuan. It seemed like he was also heading to the restroom. His proud body strutted elegantly and leisurely, his tall figure appeared unyielding and cold, handsome yet icy.
The expression on Song Qinghuan’s face sunk as she responded to his seemingly rhetorical question. With feigned surprise and a chilly voice, she greeted him: “Hello Mr. Shi… Why are you here? Do you also need the restroom?”
