Ye Huanyan faintly felt that the situation was serious. She put down her coffee and frowned.
"Erm, Lu Shen, it's working hours now. I …"
Su Nianhua nodded and smiled gently. He raised his wrist and showed the time on his watch.
"Twelve o 'clock, your off-duty time. I've just asked."
"…"
"Let's go eat together."
While Su Nianhua was talking, Ye Huanyan's gaze went over his shoulder and landed on the corner of the corridor outside the pantry. A figure was swaying slightly on the floor.
Her face suddenly froze, and she hurriedly said,
"I'm working overtime today."
After saying this, she almost ran around Su Nianhua and ran toward the elevator.
When she passed by the corner, she glanced at the man standing there from the corner of her eye.
It was Remy, the agent that Ling Han assigned to Su Nianhua in the conference room just now. At this moment, he was looking at her with a strange gaze, as if he wanted to dig out some information from her.
She panicked and felt inexplicably guilty. She avoided his gaze and walked straight into the elevator.
The atmosphere in the secretary's office was a little solemn.
After the elevator door opened, Ye Huanyan saw from afar that A4 papers had fallen to the floor near the corridor of the assistant team's cubicle. A few of the assistants were squatting on the floor to clean up the mess. One of the girls' shoulders kept twitching. When she got closer, she heard the sound of sobbing.
Ye Huanyan was slightly stunned. "What's going on?"
Xiao Dong picked up the documents on the floor and put them aside.
"Don't mention it, Sister Ye. Just now, President Ling came back from the conference room. Xiao Lan and the others brought this year's audit report for President Ling to sign. In the end, President Ling directly threw the audit report to the floor."
"Why?" Ye Huanyan frowned.
"He said that it's going through the company's procedures and should be handed over to our secretary to check. But Sister Ye, you're not back yet. Moreover, this audit report is issued by a third party. Even if there's a problem, we can't change it."
Xiao Dong muttered a few words and was stopped by a few colleagues beside her.
"Alright. Secretary Xiao Dong, stop complaining. Even Xiao Lan is not as talkative as you."
"I am just helping Xiao Lan … Sigh, forget it. I think someone must have made President Ling unhappy again." Xiao Dong turned to look at Ye Huanyan and said.
"Sister Ye, didn't Chief Ling just go and sign a contract with Su Nianhua? How is it? Why are you like this when you come back? "
Ye Huanyan finally regained her senses.
"Oh, it's nothing. It's pretty good. The signing of the contract went smoothly."
"Very successful?" Xiao Dong scratched his head. "Very successful? Why is Manager Ling back with such an expression?"
Ye Huanyan looked towards the end of the corridor. The tightly shut door of the CEO's office was like a thick wall, making it difficult for people to enter.
She stared at the screen for a while and did not hear what Xiao Dong said to her.
"Sister Ye …"
"Huh?" She regained her senses and turned to look at Xiao Dong.
Xiao Dong saw Dong Xuebing in a daze and hesitated for a while.
"Brother Xiao Zhang is going to buy food today. Do you want to bring anything else?"
"No, no need."
After saying this, Ye Huanyan turned around and walked towards the secretary's office.
Xiao Dong followed her.
"Are you going out to eat today?" Xiao Dong smiled meaningfully. He approached Ye Huanyan and nudged her with his elbow. "Sister Ye, you're in love, right?"
"No."
Ye Huanyan forced a smile. After taking her wallet and phone, she looked in the direction of the CEO's office and frowned deeply.
During lunchtime,
The CEO's office was very quiet. Qiao Mu looked at the time and could not help but speak.
"President Ling, it's past 12. Let's eat first. There's a new restaurant in the building opposite …"
Ling Han did not look up.
"No need. I haven't finished reading the proposal. You can go and eat."
Despite Ling Han's words, Qiao Mu still did not move from her seat.
Knock, knock, knock.
Ye Huanyan pushed open the door with her slender and fair fingers and nodded slightly at Qiao Mu as a greeting. Then she waved the lunch box in her hand. "I'm going out to buy food and bought one for President Ling."
Qiao Mu stood up from the desk. "President Ling, I'm going to eat."
Qiao Mu tactfully left the office and closed the door, even though it was lunchtime and no one would knock on the door of the CEO's office.
Only Ye Huanyan and Ling Han were left in the office. Across the large desk, Ling Han kept his head down and did not seem to have any intention of responding to her.
"President Ling …"
He flipped to the last page of the draft proposal on the table. After signing his name, he closed the draft with his slender fingers. Only then did he raise his cold face reluctantly and face Ye Huanyan's direction.
"It's my break. What are you doing here?"
"I … bought food for you."
"…"
He faintly glanced at it. The transparent bag clearly contained simple meals like sandwiches. Although it was not the same as yesterday, it was exactly the same.
His eyes abruptly turned cold.
"Why didn't you chat with him for a while when old friends met?"
His words made Ye Huanyan think he was talking about the conference room.
"We don't have the kind of relationship you think we have. Also, I didn't chat with him much."
"Of course not."
Ling Han's tone darkened, and the atmosphere in the office abruptly turned chilly.
"You're busy two-timing. You're hanging Su Nianhua on one hand and you're also busy buying lunch to bring back. Where would you find the time to talk to him?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Huanyan was stunned for a few seconds before she reacted. Her face darkened when she saw him slandering her without distinguishing between right and wrong.
"I sincerely came to explain, so I bought lunch. I was afraid you would misunderstand …"
The man behind the desk stared at the simple takeaway bag in her hand and found it more and more irritating. He got up and walked around the desk to stand in front of her and snatched the bag from her hand.
"Is this what you mean by saying that you were afraid I would misunderstand, so you sincerely came to explain?"
"What's wrong?" Ye Huanyan was puzzled.
"How much of your words can be trusted?" Ling Han sneered. "It was the same yesterday. Why don't you tell me who you had lunch with yesterday?"
"I …"
"Speak." Ling Han stared at her with a gloomy expression.
Their eyes met, less than twenty centimeters apart.
A ripple appeared in her clear eyes, and it was clear that she was trying to avoid his gaze.
Three words slowly came out of her mouth.
"Su Nianhua."
Ling Han's face was extremely gloomy, and the knuckles of his fingers, which were holding the transparent bag, turned white, as if he would explode and destroy everything around him in the next second.
There was a sound of opening the door, accompanied by a few stumbling sounds and the muffled sound of heavy objects knocking on the ground. The woman's tone changed from delicate to forbearing in only two seconds. The two voices came at a very inappropriate time.
"Han, I bought it for you …"
Behind the half-open office door, Sheng Anran carried a beautifully packed lunch box in one hand with a crutch. The smile on her mouth had not yet disappeared. Her face was stiff. The other hand, which was as white as jade, supported the door frame with encouragement. Her eyes fell on the bag in Ling Han's hand and gradually tightened.
"Did I come at a bad time?"
