Mu Yuchen averted his eyes from the magazine to her as she spoke. He frowned slightly and asked after a short pause, “Where are the keys to your apartment?”
Xi Xiaye was startled for a bit. Without a word, she took out a bunch of keys from her shirt pocket. “Room number 704. The entrance door might be a little difficult to open. Just lift it up a little and it’ll be fine. All the documents are inside the black briefcase on the table in my study room. Bring the whole thing over. There’s also my laptop and my hard disk on the table in my bedroom. Just get me these things first and I’ll go back to get the rest on my own a few days later.”
Her things were pretty messy and she guessed that he probably had no idea how to tidy up when he got there.
Mu Yuchen glanced at her and took the keys from her hand. “Are you sure there’s nothing else to get?”
Xi Xiaye shook her head as her pale face blushed slightly. She took a sip from her glass. “Nope. It’ll be fine if you get me those. My stuff is kind of messy and sometimes I don’t even know where I put my important stuff. My memory’s getting a little weak lately…”
“People might think I’m bullying you as your superior. You’re so miserable to be on holiday. I’ve never seen anyone as dedicated to their job as you.”
Mu Yuchen looked at her oddly. She was injured and weak, yet she was still thinking about work. It was not hard to understand how she had climbed to the position of Director from a tiny employee in just a span of five years. She must have put in an unimaginable amount of effort behind everyone’s back.
“Then, you can promote me as a token of appreciation.” Xi Xiaye looked at him seriously.
“Dream on! Didn’t I just make you a Planning Director? Glory World doesn’t encourage nepotism. You should know this better than me, Director Xi.” Mu Yuchen glanced at her as he closed the magazine. Then, he opened the drawer of the coffee table and took out a controller to put on the table in front of Xi Xiaye.
“You promoted me? Wasn’t it the Human Resources Department…”
“Do you think you really sat on a rocket and reached all the way to become a Planning Director in Glory World’s headquarters? You’ve completed your projects magnificently. I’m fully aware of what’s happening in the headquarters even when I’m abroad, which is why I made an exception and promoted you.”
Mu Yuchen poured himself a glass of water as he spoke. He took a sip and looked at Xi Xiaye earnestly.
Xi Xiaye was startled. No wonder the company had promoted her so quickly. It had taken her a very long time to get to the position of a Director, but in just half a year, she was promoted to Planning Director…
“However, what surprises me is how you impress me. It seems that I have to spend more time getting to know my employees better in the future.”
Xi Xiaye understood what he meant. She replied, “Many big companies like to look at past experiences and age, but I feel that motivated young people might not be worth any lesser than people with relevant experience. I believe you aren’t that shallow, Chairman Mu.”
Mu Yuchen smiled. “If I were shallow, how could I have found you?”
He suddenly stood up and then pointed at the controller. “I’ll go and get your stuff. If you feel bored, you can watch some TV. If you’re tired, then get some rest in the bedroom.”
“Okay. sure. Oh, right, please get me a couple of books by my bedside too,” Xi Xiaye added on.
“Mmm, wait for me.” He then left the house after that.
Xi Xiaye turned over slightly and looked outside of the large window, watching his figure disappear outside the entrance after a while…
Her apartment was not that far away from Maple Residence. It was about half an hour’s journey if one drove quickly.
Ah Mo got the keys from Mu Yuchen and opened the door to Xi Xiaye’s luxurious-looking yet cozy little house.
The whole place had a light golden theme and was decorated with a mishmash of furniture with Roman and modern elements, giving it an elegant character instead of just being a plain deluxe place. It added some warmth to the quiet space and was generally quite similar to the interior of Maple Residence.
A myriad of impressed thoughts passed through his mind as he walked in.
“Master, the study room is over here.”
Ah Mo opened the study room to see a tall shelf full of books and a clean table by the large window. With just a slight turn of one’s head from the table, one would be able to look outside at the world.
Simple and neat, just like her style.
Mu Yuchen walked in and looked at the shelf of books. He grabbed one and flipped through it before putting it back.
He glanced at the table and saw several documents opened. They were documents on the South River project. She had made many detailed remarks and comments on the documents, highlighting how serious a worker she was.
He quickly kept all the documents and put all of them into the black briefcase.
As he was leaving the study room with the briefcase, he noticed a small photo frame on the table. Halting mid-step, he took a closer look at it.
It was her in the photo. With her waist-leg dark hair, she was leaning back slightly as she put the back of her hand on her forehead and looked up into the sky with squinting eyes. The portrait seemed peaceful as though she was truly enjoying herself outdoors.
Mu Yuchen smiled and took the photo after giving it some thought…
