Chapter 8, To Capture, First Let Go (Part 1)

No matter how romantic his intentions are, he cannot elicit even a smile from her

It seems there isn't any. A staff member sitting at the door stood up

If one is to do something, it should be done to the best of one's ability; however, it is also essential to seek more assistance from Xuan.

Ning Yi has a boyfriend, a very charming young man who works at the tax bureau in Binjiang City. His job is both relaxed and powerful, and he enjoys romantic gestures, frequently having bouquets of roses delivered from the flower shop.

Ning Yi's face suddenly flushed as if filled with blood, her fists clenched tightly. What was there to see at the scene? It was merely heard that Yan Nannan was there, and she was eager to go for a secret meeting.

"You are truly kind, thank you." Chi Xiaoying gracefully hung up the phone

Good

Gradually, she realized that Xuan Xiao was not uninterested in playing, but rather selective in choosing her partners

Chi Xiaoying, introverted and quiet, seems to have successfully won Chi Xiaoying's favor, which is good, take it slow

The radio waves expanded outward in circles, and after a long time, a sound finally emerged from the other end, accompanied by the sound of whistling wind

Eleven flowers, hidden among the twinkling stars of prosperity, are wrapped outside with violet cartoon cellophane and tied with colorful ribbons. Anyone with a bit of knowledge understands that this bouquet of roses signifies "I love you wholeheartedly"

The other colleagues exchanged glances, shrugged their shoulders, and went about their respective tasks

Ning Yi has become jealous and envious

Xuan Xiao hurried downstairs to greet him, "Why did the vice president come in person?" He casually glanced outside, but Yan Nannan had not arrived.

Ning Yi received a bouquet of roses today

Ning Yi withdrew from the radio waves with a sense of resignation, diligently focused on her work, not daring to entertain any other thoughts

As Yan Nannan from the Water Construction Company entered the studio, a smile appeared at the corners of Xuan Xiao's mouth, and the depth of her inscrutable eyes increased a few degrees. The two engaged in lively conversation and laughter in the office

She once brought tea into Xuan Xiao's office and saw the two sitting opposite each other, their eyes in sync and their expressions joyful. Yan Nannan casually flipped through this and that, as if she were in her own office.

Ning Yi listened to the continuous "beep, beep" in her ear, wondering if this Madam Xuan was a bit foolish; should she go or not go

Today, Ning Yi signed the receipt card with a sullen expression, casually placing the rose aside, and continued to lean over the blueprints to calculate measurements

She can have Chi Xiaoying deal with Yan Nannan, and then she will take care of Chi Xiaoying.

She is young and can afford it

But how could a person forget Xuan Xiao's wife!

Xuan Xiao went upstairs to fetch a trench coat and the car keys, briefly communicated with the head of the pricing department, and then left with the vice president

Chi Xiaoying paused for a moment and said, "I am not in the city; I am by the river."

Has the information from the Water Construction Company arrived?" Xuan Xiao asked as she came down from upstairs, with a few streaks of bloodshot in her bright eyes

Liking someone is not a mistake; one must bravely express it, letting the other person know, regardless of the outcome

"It was originally Manager Yan who sent it, but she insisted on going to the riverside to see the scene. I was not at ease with others, so I had no choice but to come myself." The two of them walked to the adjacent reception room

It is unacceptable, it cannot be like this. How can we allow that disreputable woman to gain the upper hand

She has a boyfriend and does not harbor any inappropriate thoughts. However, like countless white-collar workers today, she enjoys engaging in a 'fourth type of emotion' with her superior, which is neither love, familial affection, nor friendship. It seems closer than a work relationship, yet it is forever detached from genuine emotional connection. The only difference lies in the glances and tones, which are somewhat ambiguous, suggesting something that is both present and absent, silently tormenting yet not deeply enough to cause pain. It is as light and delicate as the exquisite Blue Mountain coffee, bitter yet sweet, yet no one is willing to be the first to break the unspoken rule that 'a rabbit does not eat the grass near its burrow.' This kind of relationship allows young women to encounter more green lights in their professional lives, savoring more benefits, yet it does not lead to any earth-shattering changes or threats.

There is no question of assistance; we both benefit from each other. Vice President, how about this? Let us also go to the riverside to take a look. I still have no clear concept of this cross-river bridge

This is truly a case of the emperor being unhurried while the eunuchs are anxious. Ning Yi's forehead is already sweating. "Sister Chi, they have already reached your doorstep, how can you still sit still? Do you not care about General Xuan, are you willing to surrender the city to the enemy?"

Her heart suddenly surged with a bold courage to move forward without hesitation

Oh, I remember. "Chi Xiaoying's voice sounded very ethereal in the wind. "Is there something you need?"

Xuan Xiao furrowed her brows, took out her phone to take a look, then turned and walked back upstairs

The location has been selected, and there are currently personnel conducting surveys there. In recent days, major road and bridge companies from across the country have come to inspect the site. Here are the relevant materials and drawings for the bridge, specifically for sections two and three that we are interested in

"President Xuan." The glass door was pushed open from the outside, and the vice president of the Shui Jian Company walked in with a smile, holding a stack of documents in his hand

Where are you right now? I urgently need to find you

"What a coincidence!" Ning Yi exclaimed in surprise, jumping up. "Sister Chi, let me tell you, President Xuan is going to meet Yan Nannan soon, and the location is right at the site of the Cross-River Bridge. You can quietly observe from a distance, and you will know whether what I said yesterday is true or not."

The extravagant Yan Nannan invited Xuan Xiao out again last night, leaving the others to work overtime in the studio. Ning Yi couldn't help but feel a pang of jealousy at the thought of them being affectionate outside.

Xuanxiao Studio https://mhetushu.com.com has very few women who do not fit the mold. Ning Yi is the flower of the studio. She graduated from a well-known engineering university in the south of the country, is twenty-five years old, possesses both education and beauty, and after overcoming numerous challenges, she was finally admitted after a personal interview with Xuanxiao

This message has been sent too many times, and for some reason, she seems to have fallen into a strange cycle. At first, she was unconvinced, but gradually, she realized that she had uncontrollably and madly fallen in love with Xuan Xiao. The moment Yan Nannan stepped into the studio, she felt her hair stand on end, as if she were a jealous wife, ready for battle.

I do not have such large hands. Ning Yi, why are you telling me this

I cannot stand women who destroy other people's marriages. Ning Yi lowered her voice and bowed her head, her face slightly flushed

Xuan Xiao opened the drawings and smiled, "You have quite an appetite, these sections two and three are among the largest quantities in the several sections."

Before joining Xuanxiao Studio, she thought that Xuanxiao must be a middle-aged man with a big belly, but she did not expect him to be so young and handsome

"Sister Chi, it’s Ning Yi, do you remember me?" she greeted cheerfully and warmly

However, she does not have such rights

She exhaled deeply, like a steam locomotive departing the station, tense and uneasy. Suddenly, her mind heated up as she stole a glance at her colleagues, each one busy, and no one noticed her unusual behavior

In terms of age and appearance, Yan Nannan cannot compare to herself, and moreover, she is a married woman. Xuan Xiao does not have myopia, so why should she seek proximity when she has the option of distance?

Yan Nannan, being a woman herself, intuitively sensed her affection for Xuan Xiao. Yan Nannan did not confront this directly; upon seeing her, she merely smiled gracefully, as if looking at a petulant child.

"Can we see the scene?" Xuanxiao was a bit surprised

Ning Yi's ears perked up immediately.

When Ning Yi first received it, she would proudly display an excited expression, showing it off to the other two plain-looking female colleagues.

Ning Yi was truly furious, watching Xuan Xiao and Yan Nannan together like a pair of lovebirds. She felt like a trapped beast, wishing she could rush forward and tear Yan Nannan apart.

She began to text Xuanxiao, sending messages whenever she had a moment, sweet and affectionate, somewhat ambiguous, a bit melancholic, and poetic, in any case, she took romance to the extreme

"What is the difference between truth and falsehood?" Chi Xiaoying smiled

Xuan Xiao still did not respond, but she did not stop it either, which gave her great encouragement

Ning Yi felt a surge of jealousy, and it was quite intense.

Xuan Xiao is an unconventional person, whether out of disdain or lack of skill in engaging in this type of "fourth type of emotion," she has never received a response, despite the strong signals she has sent out.

She picked up her phone and pretended to go to the restroom. Once inside, she took out the phone number of Chi Xiaoying, which she had painstakingly inquired about, and pressed the dial key
