Chapter 129: Warning
Early in the morning, Ji Xiangyu deliberately slowed his pace as he left. Su Yuyu, looking at Ji Xiangyu’s gloomy face, said unhappily, “Why is Chairman Brother always so stern? Doesn’t he feel cold?”
A child’s words are always thoughtless but most truthful.
Ji Xiangyu raised an eyebrow and gave Su Yuyu a stiff smile, “Is this better?”
Su Yuyu felt speechless. If she stayed with this icy Chairman Brother any longer, she would eventually turn into an old popsicle!
Su Yuyu pouted and looked at Ji Xiangyu, saying, “Where’s pretty sister? I want to see pretty sister!”
Ji Xiangyu’s heart trembled. He had made a mistake last night; he was too hasty, too eager for success. Athena must hate him. The more he wanted to know the result, the more he messed things up!
As they got off the elevator, it stopped on the tenth floor. Ji Xiangyu didn’t expect to run into Athena so coincidentally. He looked at Athena awkwardly and opened his mouth to say: I’m sorry about last night.
But what came out was: “Morning~~~”
The moment Athena saw Ji Xiangyu, she was slightly stunned. The next moment, she pretended nothing had happened and greeted Ji Xiangyu with a smile, “Good morning, Chairman!”
Ji Xiangyu nodded slightly. It was Su Yuyu who enthusiastically said to Athena, “I didn’t expect you to live here too, sister! But why don’t you live with Chairman Brother?”
Athena froze for a moment at Su Yuyu’s question. Was this child’s mind moving too fast? However, she patiently explained, “Because sister’s Chairman is not a spouse or a boyfriend, so we can’t live together!”
Su Yuyu looked at Athena proudly and said with a sly grin, “Sister, you’re lying! Last night I clearly saw Chairman Brother kissing you!”
As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the elevator instantly dropped to minus ten degrees. Athena was so choked up she couldn’t speak and could only smile awkwardly. How could Su Yuyu have seen it?
Ji Xiangyu stood there rigidly, not moving an inch.
Athena really wanted to slap Ji Xiangyu with the heaviest slap of the century. This man should at least have told her that last night was just an accident, that he was sorry. He hadn’t said a word and was acting as if nothing had happened. It truly made Athena feel disheartened!
After sending Su Yuyu away, Athena left without even glancing at Ji Xiangyu, walking away alone!
Ji Xiangyu watched Athena’s retreating back and sighed. Some words could never be spoken. He dared not admit that this girl, who looked so much like Qing Tian, had touched his heart.
Ji Xiangyu arrived at the office and saw that it had been vandalized and turned upside down. He gritted his teeth. Who dared to go this far, even daring to lay hands on the Chairman’s place?
Hong Zuzhang looked at Ji Xiangyu’s angry eyes anxiously and said tremblingly, “Chairman, the cleaning staff found it like this when they opened the door this morning. The surveillance footage was also deleted, so we couldn’t find out who did it immediately!”
Ji Xiangyu waved his hand and told those people to pack up their things, saying, “Don’t call the police. Investigate slowly. I don’t believe we can’t find the culprit.”
Hong Zuzhang immediately ordered people to quickly tidy up the Chairman’s office. Before long, the office was cleaned and organized.
After everyone else left, Ji Xiangyu sat in the leather chair, lost in thought. He couldn’t figure out who would do this to him. Director Bai? Impossible, the target is too obvious. Or is someone else operating behind the scenes?
Situ Jingyi, dressed very formally, arrived at Ji Xiangyu’s office early in the morning. As soon as she opened the office door, she enthusiastically leaned in and said, “Yu, do you remember what day it is today?”
After speaking, she spun around in place, “Ta-da~~~~ Come back to me!”
Ji Xiangyu frowned at Situ Jingyi and remained silent for a moment. Situ Jingyi looked at Ji Xiangyu with disappointment and said, “Wow! This is so sad. I’m so unimportant that Yu can even forget the day of my restaurant’s opening ceremony! You don’t care about me at all!”
Ji Xiangyu pulled himself out of his emotions and looked at Situ Jingyi apologetically, “I’m sorry. I’ll come over at noon after I finish my work!”
Situ Jingyi looked at Ji Xiangyu with a resentful and unhappy expression. At this moment, Ji Xiangyu’s assistant, Assistant Che, walked in. After respectfully greeting Situ Jingyi, he whispered in Ji Xiangyu’s ear, “The General Manager and Athena’s assistant are distributing breakfast at the employee restaurant early this morning!”
Ji Xiangyu raised an eyebrow and asked coldly, “What do you mean by distributing meals?”
Assistant Che’s expression was not good either, saying, “They said it’s to get closer to the employees and foster a sense of family!”
Situ Jingyi, who was nearby, immediately started laughing, “Our General Manager is really interesting. To pull off this ‘people-friendly’ move, is he trying to win over public support?”
Ji Xiangyu didn’t miss the subtext in Situ Jingyi’s words, but he didn’t want to think the worst of anything.
Assistant Che continued, “Some employees who are dissatisfied with the hotel have gone to cause trouble, and Athena’s assistant was attacked!”
Ji Xiangyu asked with a slightly intense reaction, “What do you mean by dissatisfied employees causing trouble? Why was Athena attacked?”
Assistant Che immediately explained, “When the old Chairman was in office, he promised retired employees double their monthly pension. However, the Board of Directors did not approve it, and it has been delayed, which has caused the employees’ dissatisfaction!”
Situ Jingyi said sarcastically, “I didn’t expect the General Manager to take on this mess! Yu, you absolutely must not go~~~~”
Before Situ Jingyi could finish speaking, Ji Xiangyu had already flown out of there.
Situ Jingyi watched Ji Xiangyu disappear into the distance, thinking to herself: Yu, you still can’t let go? You haven’t forgotten the pain from back then and softened your heart, have you?
