Back in City Z, life still has to go on. Ye Lei returns to her busy work again, forgetting her experience in City C.

When working in advertising design, working overtime is commonplace. It can be long or short. Of course, you can also choose to go home to complete it. However, Ye Lei always goes home after finishing the work at the company. I don’t know if it’s because she successfully handed over the task last time.

, Ye Lei's workload has increased significantly, at least much more than when she first came to the company, but Ye Lei regards these as what employees should do without any complaints.

company high-level meeting

"Since the plan we made last time when we cooperated with the United States was accepted, the publicity effect was very good, which greatly increased our popularity and business. The other company decided to sign a long-term contract with us." A man stood and explained. Behind him was a group of people.

The large screen with the constantly changing pictures is what he calls promotional advertisements.

Upon hearing this, the people below immediately became commotion and expressed their opinions one after another.

"Very good."

"Being able to obtain this business will be of great help to us in entering the South American market."

"Both the design department and the publicity department deserve praise this time."

"That's right, that's right."

After all, no one has the courage to make any noise, you know, Chu Haoxuan is still sitting in the upper position.

"The next discussion is about..."

………………

ceo office

"Go and give me the list of people involved in the design."

Xue Yang was a little surprised by Chu Haoxuan's sudden order. After all, it had never happened before, so he subconsciously asked: "Is there any problem?"

"Forget it, just call the director of the design department."

Xue Yang was even more surprised. Just when he was about to ask, he met Chu Haoxuan's cold eyes and automatically silenced himself. Only then did he realize that he had said something he shouldn't have said, so he went to carry out Chu Haoxuan's order in despair.

………………

lunch break

"Ye Lei, aren't you going to eat?" When my colleague was about to go to eat, he noticed that Ye Lei was still sitting in her seat and asked, while everyone else in the office had almost left.

Ye Lei turned her gaze from the screen to this kind colleague, smiled and said, "I have a while, you go and eat first."

Her colleagues stopped trying to persuade her. Everyone's workload was different and she couldn't control that much, so she left with other colleagues.

Ye Lei raised her left hand and pinched the corners of her eyes, and then returned to work. After Ye Lei finally finished her work, half of the lunch break was over, and some colleagues had already returned to the office. Ye Lei hurriedly locked the computer and dared to go

It’s impossible to be picky about food when eating in the staff restaurant. Just eat as long as you have something to eat, because there is still a lot of work to do, so you need to replenish your energy.

There are two employee restaurants in the Chu Group headquarters building, both of which are two floors, one and a half floors to be precise. The upper half floor is where the company's senior executives dine, and there are also special passages; the lower half floor is where ordinary employees dine.

Ye Lei naturally chose the place closest to the department. There were a lot less people in the restaurant during this time. Ye Lei took the selected food and sat at the window seat. She could see the scenery outside, which was okay.

Relax appropriately.

After finishing the meal leisurely, Ye Lei went straight back to the department without stopping. On the way, she bumped into someone because she was looking out the window and not looking at the road.

"I'm sorry." Ye Lei apologized quickly.

"It's okay, but you have to look ahead when walking."

A familiar voice rang in her ears. Ye Lei hurriedly raised her head, and it turned out to be Xue Yang, and beside him was Chu Haoxuan.

Chu Haoxuan frowned calmly. This situation made him feel familiar. He remembered that time in the western restaurant.

"Are you okay?" Seeing Ye Lei's strange expression, Xue Yang asked with concern.

"No, it's okay!!" Ye Lei hurriedly came to her senses, feeling a little lucky that the person she bumped into was not Chu Haoxuan.

"Ms. Ye, are you going back to the department?"

"Um."

"This department has a heavy workload. Miss Ye needs to pay more attention to her health." There was obviously something in Xue Yang's words. Chu Haoxuan knew it but did not express any opinion.

"I know, thank you Assistant Xue for reminding me."

At this time, Chu Haoxuan passed by Ye Lei, and he didn't say a word from beginning to end.

"Sorry, I'm sorry." Xue Yang hurriedly said goodbye to Ye Lei and followed closely behind Chu Haoxuan.

Looking at Chu Haoxuan's leaving figure, and then thinking about the way she looked at her as if she were a stranger, Ye Lei couldn't help but feel disappointed. It wasn't until she saw Chu Haoxuan's figure completely out of sight that she came back to her senses and continued walking towards the department.

.

………………

"Mr. Chu, you are back. Do you want to have dinner now?" Yang Min stepped forward to greet Chu Haoxuan who had just returned. His last words were completely routine. Since returning from a business trip in City C, Chu Haoxuan would have dinner.

Come back occasionally.

"Yeah." Chu Haoxuan replied as he loosened his tie as he walked. After walking a few steps, he suddenly stopped and asked, "Where is she?"

"? Are you talking about Miss Ye? She won't be back for dinner today. She called to say she would be back later."

Chu Hao

It wasn't that he suspected that Ye Lei was avoiding him or having dinner with friends. Of course, he didn't ask what she was doing specifically.

That night, Chu Haoxuan, who had finished his work early, came out of the study and happened to meet Ye Lei who was about to go back to her room. From the look of her, it was obvious that she had just come back.

Ye Lei was startled. Although she knew that Chu Haoxuan would sometimes come back early in recent times, she didn't expect to bump into him in this situation, and she felt a little embarrassed.

"Sorry, have I disturbed you?" Although she didn't think she had disturbed Chu Haoxuan, Ye Lei still subconsciously chose to apologize first.

It's winter now, and the Chu family has no specific dress code for employees. Except for certain positions, clothing should not be too casual. Ye Lei is wearing a white shirt on the upper body, a short skirt on the lower body, and a pair of low-top mid-heeled leather boots.

, plus a long brown coat, a typical business attire, but it was not so rigid when worn on her, but her cheeks were obviously flushed by the wind.

"Why are you back so late?" Chu Haoxuan asked subconsciously.

"work overtime."

When this reason came out of Ye Lei's mouth, Chu Haoxuan became speechless, so he frowned and went back to the room without saying a word.

Ye Lei stood there for a while, until she felt a heartbreaking pain in her left foot, and then she returned to the room. As soon as she returned to the room, Ye Lei immediately took off her shoes. Sure enough, there was redness and swelling on the outside of her ankle. This was when she came back from get off work. Be careful of twisting.

However, the pain in her feet seemed to be less than the loss in her heart. When she thought of Chu Haoxuan's indifference, Ye Lei felt her heart aching faintly, as if she could not breathe. In fact, Ye Lei had already discovered that she had already
