At lunchti, Ye Qiu and Luo Yang headed to Cafeteria No. 1 for lunch.
In the afternoon, they had to review two subjects, mainly wanting Ye Qiu to help them predict the exam questions.
Ye Qiu has ti now, so it’s no problem teaching them what to pay attention to.
In the classroom, Ye Qiu directly had them morize all the key points for the next two exams.
At dinnerti, Ye Qiu didn’t stay. Instead, he drove towards Xingyue Group to check in on Xiao i and Shen Yueru.
Driving to Xingyue Group, Ye Qiu first headed towards the HR departnt.
When he arrived at the HR director’s office door, he knocked. Inside, Xiao i’s voice could be heard, and Ye Qiu pushed open the door to see Xiao i alone at her desk, tapping away at her computer.
Seeing Ye Qiu arrive, her smile was noticeably different.
"You’re here."
Xiao i stopped her work.
"Haven’t seen you in a while, thought I’d co over to check on you."
After Ye Qiu closed the door, naturally cutting off the outside world, there was no fear of anyone seeing anything.
"Aren’t you supposed to be in class?"
"Exams are this and next week. Once they’re over, I’ll have more ti."
Ye Qiu reached out, gripping Xiao i’s fair hand. Xiao i didn’t pull away, feeling sothing particularly special.
"How’s the recruitnt of new female models going?"
"It’s done; you can go check them out."
This was based on the situation with the last batch of female models. Apart from Amy, the rest jumped ship to other companies.
Ye Qiu had anticipated this, so if these female models wanted to leave, they’d have to compensate the company. This way, Xingyue Group wouldn’t lose money.
"I’ll go take a look later."
According to Ye Qiu’s selection criteria, there should be no mistakes.
Ye Qiu continued holding Xiao i’s hand. As it was close to dinner ti, Xiao i said, "Ye Qiu, let’s go have dinner!"
Ye Qiu had co from Jin University Campus, already past five in the afternoon. It’s now past six in the evening.
After Xiao i pulled her hand back, tidied things up a bit, and grabbed her bag, she and Ye Qiu left the office and took the elevator down. Xiao i got into Ye Qiu’s car, and Ye Qiu drove away.
"What do you want to eat?"
"I’ve been feeling no appetite lately, want sothing light."
Ye Qiu suspected Xiao i’s stomach wasn’t doing well, which explained her preference.
Since she wanted sothing light, Ye Qiu drove to a vegetarian restaurant. Inside, he noticed that there were quite a few custors, especially female ones.
Ye Qiu bought two al vouchers, totaling less than a hundred yuan.
They then picked up so food randomly, similar to a buffet, except it was all vegetarian, like greens, tofu, and so other side dishes.
Sitting down, Xiao i found these quite nice, while Ye Qiu preferred at and found the vegetarian dishes diocre.
"What’s the situation with Qingcheng Group now?"
"It probably won’t last much longer."
Xiao i replied.
She wasn’t sure why Qingcheng Group had deteriorated so much in just half a year.
Last ti, Ye Qiu learned from Shen Yueru that Qingcheng Group might not hold out, either applying for bankruptcy due to insolvency or waiting to be acquired.
"Wei Guomin’s been in the mix for so many years, still hasn’t improved; he is reckless and will eventually hit a dead end."
Even without Ye Qiu’s interference, Wei Guomin’s Qingcheng Group was bound to face problems.
"I wouldn’t know."
They ate and chatted.
Until Xiao i finished eating, Ye Qiu tasted quite a few greens. Though not full, he didn’t want to eat more, feeling it was not much different from regular fast food.
"Are we going back later?"
"Where else?"
"Of course, to my place!"
No exams tomorrow, only the day after. Spending the night at Xiao i’s place isn’t an issue, plus Ye Qiu plans to see Shen Yueru tomorrow.
Leaving the vegetarian restaurant, getting in the car, Ye Qiu drove toward Xiao i’s residential neighborhood.
Inside the complex, parking in Xiao i’s space, as her car was parked in Xingyue Group’s basent.
After parking, they got out, took the elevator up to the designated floor. Xiao i unlocked the door, Ye Qiu changed into slippers in the living room.
Xiao i returned to the room, changed into a more relaxed outfit, and sat beside Ye Qiu, who hugged Xiao i around her waist. Initially, Xiao i resisted a bit but then let Ye Qiu continue hugging her.
Xiao i knew she couldn’t possibly be close to Ye Qiu if she didn’t like him.
She leaned against Ye Qiu’s chest as they watched TV together until around nine. Then, Xiao i went to take a shower.
After her shower, she brought Ye Qiu a pajama, prompting him to wash up and change.
The last ti this happened, Ye Qiu had already worn it, feeling accustod.
After finishing his shower, Xiao i told him, "My room doesn’t lock, sleep wherever you like!"
As Xiao i went back to read, Ye Qiu sat in the living room watching TV, dried his hair, and headed towards the master bedroom. He climbed into bed and nestled into the blanket.
Xiao i thought Ye Qiu had co for sothing else, surprised he only embraced her.
With the lights off, Xiao i lay with her back towards Ye Qiu, heart racing. Unexpectedly, Ye Qiu just gently held her as they heard each other’s heartbeat.
"Not yet."
Ye Qiu said.
This was thought to be sothing he’d say himself, unexpectedly it was Ye Qiu who voiced it.
"Why?"
"I still need to cultivate, can’t break the rule yet, maybe by next year we can be together."
So that’s why, Xiao i thought it was sothing else.
Ye Qiu woke up to find Xiao i already up, preparing breakfast in the kitchen. After finishing breakfast, she’d be off to work.
Now, Ye Qiu rose, freshened up, grabbed breakfast, and drove with Xiao i to Xingyue Group. However, he still felt his nose filled with Xiao i’s scent.
Arriving at Xingyue Group, Xiao i first returned to her office while Ye Qiu headed to the female model training area. At the training room door, he knocked and went inside to find Amy with the newly recruited models training under her guidance.
"Alright, stop now!"
Amy said.
