Chapter 147 Mystery
Soon after Su Yanqing entered the office, she saw Xue Yi sitting on a large and comfortable sofa.
Seeing her come in, Xue Yi first showed a polite smile, and then said in a calm but gentle tone: "Yanqing, please sit down first, don't stand."
He pointed to a single sofa of the same style next to him.
Su Yanqing followed the instructions and sat down on a sofa not far from Xue Yi. Her heartbeat quickened a lot, and her eyes revealed a cautious look.
She gently asked, "Boss Xue, is there anything important that you want me to do?"
Although the sound was very small, it was enough for the two of them to hear clearly.
"I've read all the news about you this morning."
Xue Yi got straight to the point, his relaxed expression suddenly turning serious. "Logically speaking, this is truly your personal matter, and I shouldn't interfere. But in reality, the G1 project not only represents the partnership between our company and Zheng'an Group, but more importantly, it carries the weight of a major joint development plan we reached with the Xiao family. Now that such a vexing problem has arisen, the progress of this project may need to be temporarily halted to see the results."
Hearing this, Su Yanqing couldn't help but frown.
She knew this would be a huge blow to everyone. "Mr. Xue, please don't put the G1 project on hold like this! Our entire team has invested countless efforts and hard work to ensure its smooth progress. If it were to suddenly stop now, wouldn't all our previous work be in vain? This would not only negate our efforts, but would also have a negative impact on the company's future development."
Facing Yan Qing's earnest words, Xue Yi turned his gaze towards her and said solemnly, "I understand your point of view and agree with it very much. However, this morning I received a call from Uncle Guo, the Xiao family's chief steward. He explicitly stated that he hopes both parties can suspend the implementation of the original cooperation agreement until the relevant public opinion storm has completely subsided. In other words, unless we can quickly find a way to resolve this matter, we will have no choice but to suspend the cooperation process..."
Xue Yi looked at Su Yanqing embarrassedly, rubbing his pants repeatedly with his hands, as if he had something to say but didn't say it out loud.
His eyes were wandering, revealing his inner struggle and anxiety.
Without him saying anything, Su Yanqing had already guessed what he was talking about: "Are you asking me to leave the company?"
Although her tone was calm, the helplessness and sadness were obvious.
Xue Yi didn't answer, but clenched his hands even tighter.
His brows were furrowed, and an expression of indescribable pain appeared on his face.
"Mr. Xue."
Su Yanqing pondered for a moment, then turned her head to look at Xue Yi and asked with a firm gaze, "I want to know who meant this? Is it the eldest young master, or..."
"It should be what the old man said through Uncle Guo."
Xue Yi sighed, his tone filled with helplessness and sympathy, "I'm afraid the eldest young master doesn't know about this yet. Yanqing, you're being too impulsive. The old man values his reputation the most, and with such a scandal this time, he will definitely not let you off easily."
Su Yanqing raised the corner of her mouth slightly and sneered, "This is indeed not very glorious. But why do you think I did it?"
Her voice was filled with defiance and dissatisfaction.
Hearing this, Xue Yi became even more confused. He looked into Su Yanqing's eyes and asked, "What do you mean by that?"
"Boss Xue, please consider my dedication since I came to the company and buy me some time. I will definitely give the old man a satisfactory explanation."
Su Yanqing pleaded, her eyes revealing determination and conviction.
Seeing Su Yanqing's determined eyes, Xue Yi knew that she had a plan in mind.
Thinking that it was Uncle Guo who informed him, he didn't have time to ask Xiao Chuyi what he thought.
If Xiao Chuyi pursues the matter later, he will also be in trouble.
Xue Yi was embarrassed. After thinking for a long time, he finally nodded slowly: "Okay. In this case, I'll give you one day. By this time tomorrow, if you still can't give an explanation to the old man and the Xiao family, don't blame me."
"Ok."
Su Yanqing stood up and bowed to Xue Yi to express her gratitude. Her movements were solemn and sincere.
She turned and walked to the office door, pausing for a moment, as if gathering up her courage and determination.
Then, while opening the office door, Su Yanqing stepped aside.
Sure enough, everyone waiting outside the door fell in, and the scene became a bit chaotic.
Wu Hui and Cheng Qiqi, who were in the lead, looked embarrassed and nodded to Xue Yi quickly: "Mr. Xue, what a coincidence to meet you here, hehe..."
The expressions on their faces seemed particularly unnatural, like intruders who had been suddenly discovered.
Xue Yi glared at them and said coldly, "Ladies, if I remember correctly, this seems to be my office, right?"
There was unquestionable authority in his tone, as if reminding the two that this was his territory.
Wu Hui and Cheng Qiqi looked at Su Yanqing awkwardly.
The latter frowned, said nothing, and walked out quickly, obviously not wanting to stay here for even a minute longer.
Seeing this, the two of them hurried to follow.
There was a sound of hurried footsteps in the corridor, revealing their inner anxiety and uneasiness.
"We all heard what was said just now."
As Cheng Qiqi walked, she asked anxiously, "We only have one day. How are you going to investigate this matter?"
"Yes, Sister Yanqing, do you know who spread this news?"
Wu Hui's voice was also filled with anxiety and confusion.
Su Yanqing stopped, slowly turned her head, and stared at the two men with sharp eyes.
Her eyes were calm and firm, giving people a sense of elusive calmness.
The two men didn't pay attention to her actions and bumped into Su Yanqing directly.
This collision made the atmosphere even more tense, and the air seemed to freeze.
She raised the corner of her mouth slightly, shrugged, and said lightly: "I don't know either."
Wu Hui, the questioner, widened his eyes. "You don't know? Then how dare you agree to Mr. Xue's request? You're really brave."
Su Yanqing smiled and said calmly, "Just because I don't know doesn't mean others are also in the dark."
Her words were simple yet full of meaning, as if hinting at some kind of plan.
Cheng Qiqi and Wu Hui looked at each other, their faces full of confusion and their hearts full of puzzlement. They had no idea what Su Yanqing was talking about.
The expressions of the two men were as if they had seen a mystery, and this mystery was waiting for them to solve.
"Qiqi, call An Mo and tell him I want to see him."
Su Yanqing's tone was gentle but firm, revealing a determination that could not be refused.
