Chapter 36: Sheng Yu, Let Go of Me

The two entered the elevator one after the other, Qiao Shuyi pressed the button for the basement floor.

The man wanted to reach out and hold her hand, but she quickly dodged him.

“Hmph.”

“Are you angry?” The man reached out and touched the top of her head, asking with a smile.

“How dare I be angry with Mr. Sheng, you are our biggest investor.”

“You say you’re not angry, but your words are getting sharper.”

Qiao Shuyi ignored him.

“Then I won’t touch your hand anymore.”

Just then, the elevator door opened. Qiao Shuyi glared at him fiercely and walked out first.

The man followed closely behind.

Seeing that there was no one around, he grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his arms.

“Sheng Yu!”

Qiao Shuyi said angrily, looking up, she met the man’s smiling eyes.

“What are you laughing at?”

“Laughing at you. Now you can directly call me by my name.”

Qiao Shuyi’s face flushed slightly, she lowered her eyes: “What’s wrong with calling you by your name?”

You can’t beat me if you don’t like it.

Of course, she said the last part in her heart.

“It’s good.”

The man’s low voice carried a joyful smile: “Qiao Qiao, I like hearing you call my name. It makes me feel like I’m different in your heart than before.”

“It’s definitely different. You’re thicker-skinned now.”

The Sheng Yu before: Cold and aloof, always with a coldness that kept people at bay.

The Sheng Yu now: Thick-skinned, and likes to take advantage of her.

“I’m just like this to the people I like.”

Their eyes met, Qiao Shuyi felt her heart beat faster, and her cheeks flushed uncontrollably.

She protested softly: “Sheng Yu, let go of me…”

He held her tightly at the waist, and they were almost touching.

What if someone passed by and saw them?

“Qiao Qiao.”

The man’s Adam’s apple slid slightly, his voice unconsciously becoming hoarse.

He raised his hand, gently brushing the stray hair from her forehead behind her ear, his eyes deep, carrying a hint of emotion that Qiao Shuyi couldn’t understand.

“I have a presumptuous idea, I wonder if you can agree?”

“No!”

Qiao Shuyi blurted out almost instantly, reaching out to cover her lips.

The man chuckled: “How did you know what I was going to say?”

Qiao Shuyi blushed, speechless for a moment.

She didn’t know how she knew, but at that moment, looking into his eyes, she instantly understood what he was thinking.

Sheng Yu bent down, a cool kiss landed on the back of her hand.

He slightly raised his eyes, looking at her, his eyebrows and eyes carrying a smile: “Qiao Qiao is so smart.”

“…”

Qiao Shuyi was stunned, her heart beating faster than ever before.

“Let’s go, you go back.”

The man reached out and rubbed her hair, and soon left with a smile.

Qiao Shuyi stood there for a few seconds, then slowly walked towards the elevator.

Sheng Yu just now… really wanted to kiss her.

Thinking of the cool kiss that landed on the back of her hand, Qiao Shuyi felt her whole hand start to burn.

She seemed to really… like Sheng Yu.

For some reason, realizing this, she wasn’t very happy, instead, she felt a kind of indescribable melancholy in her heart.

Why didn’t she try to like Sheng Yu in her previous life?

If she had, they would have had a beautiful ending.

…

After returning to the company, Qiao Shuyi didn’t immediately go to Sheng Tang’s office, but went to the Business Department on the third floor.

In the office, everyone was still chatting and laughing, but the moment Qiao Shuyi walked in, the entire office became instantly silent.

Zhao Jiajia: “Sister Qiao… no, it should be Manager Qiao.”

Chen Yue stood up, scratching her head awkwardly, her expression uneasy: “That… Manager Qiao, why are you here?”

Qiao Shuyi walked to her old workstation and sat down, smiling with pursed lips: “You can still call me Qiao Qiao, or Sister Qiao if you really want to.”

“Manager Qiao, that doesn’t sound right.”

“It’s fine.”

“Okay then, Qiao Qiao, what are you here for?”

“It’s like this, Sheng Yu and I are planning to set up a short drama department, are you interested in joining?”

“Short drama? What’s that?” Zhao Jiajia curiously stuck her head out.

Qiao Shuyi explained to them what she had just explained to Sheng Yu.

“It sounds pretty interesting…”

Qiao Shuyi thought for a moment and continued: “The salary will be based on your current salary for now, we can discuss a raise later, and there will be various corresponding commissions. You can think about it slowly, and give me your answer tomorrow. Those who don’t want to join the short drama department can choose to continue working in the Business Department.”

“Okay, Manager Qiao.”

Glanced by Qiao Shuyi’s indifferent gaze, everyone instantly changed their address: “Okay, Sister Qiao!”

“Then I’ll go first, you guys think about it carefully, no pressure.”

Before leaving, Qiao Shuyi couldn’t help but look at a figure who had been burying her head and not looking up.

Did she think she wouldn’t see her like this?

“Feng Lin.” Qiao Shuyi suddenly spoke.

Feng Lin suddenly raised her head, her expression tense and flustered: “Qiao… Manager Qiao.”

Qiao Shuyi looked at her meaningfully: “You think about it carefully too.”

“…Okay, okay.”

The next day, seeing Feng Lin hand in her resignation letter, Qiao Shuyi’s lips curled into a slight smile.

“Are you sure you’ve thought it through?”

“Yes, Manager Qiao.” Feng Lin buried her head, her voice so small it couldn’t be smaller.

“Okay then, go to the Finance Department and settle your salary for this month, then you can leave.”

“Okay.”

As soon as Feng Lin left the office, Sheng Tang across the desk raised his head, “You’re really bad.”

“What are you talking about, where am I bad?” Qiao Shuyi said angrily: “I’m such a gentle and kind person.”

“You said let her think about it carefully, I bet she spent the whole night tossing and turning, wondering whether to leave or not. If she leaves, she’s a little reluctant, if she doesn’t leave, she’s afraid you’ll target her later.”

Qiao Shuyi snorted: “Am I that petty?”

Sheng Tang propped his chin and looked at her: “Not petty, but you hold a grudge.”

“…”

“Speaking of which, how are your former colleagues doing? Did they give you an answer?”

“Yeah, five of them are willing to join the short drama department, the rest chose to stay in the Business Department.”

This result was quite unexpected for Qiao Shuyi.

Except for Chen Yue, the four girls who went shopping with her that day all decided to transfer to the short drama department, and another girl named Jiang He also decided to transfer to the short drama department.

But it’s understandable.

Chen Yue is a business management graduate, and she currently has three years of work experience, it’s not a good thing for her to change careers rashly.

Moreover, since Song Qingyi was caught, the Business Department was left without a supervisor.

If Chen Yue stayed, she would basically be the next supervisor of the Business Department.

“Okay, let’s replan the office area, and ask HR to put up a recruitment notice to recruit some more people.”

“Okay.”
