When Shi Beiyu heard that Mu Siyin wanted to meet up with her best friends, he was worried.
“Are they more important than your job?”
There was no need to state the obvious.
Mu Siyin blinked and said, “Qiuci is finally back, so I must spend the day with her.”
What else could Shi Beiyu say to that?
After all, she would still go even if he tried to stop her.
“Well then, I’ll send you off in a while.”
Mu Siyin did not refute because she knew that it was useless.
After breakfast, Shi Beiyu dropped Mu Siyin off at the entrance of Ji Yang’s apartment and then headed to the company.
It was only when Mu Siyin entered the building did she remember that she had yet asked for a leave of absence from Old Hag Wang. Hence, she hurriedly took out her mobile phone, searched for the latter’s number, and dialed it.
Director Wang was really in a bad mood to see Mu Siyin’s call early in the morning.
She was feeling somewhat annoyed as she answered the call. She said condescendingly, “What’s this call about?”
“Director, I have something to do today and want to ask for a leave of absence.”
Upon hearing that, Director Wang’s tone immediately turned fierce. “Why are you asking for a day off again? How many days have you been missing this month?!”
Mu Siyin chuckled and said, “I really have something to do. Besides, I’m not getting my perfect attendance award this month. Just allow me one day off, please.”
Director Wang almost vomited blood.
“Mu Siyin, what do you mean? You’re not coming to work because of not getting a perfect attendance award?”
“That’s not it. I just want to apply for one more day off work today.”
Director Wang snorted. “You’re truly remarkable. Mi Qian, the chief designer, has been working day and night to prepare Mrs. Laura’s design. What about you? You don’t seem to have any sense of urgency at all.
“I think you’re really eager to quit your job.”
Mu Siyin was tired of hearing that, but she still had to keep up her smile. “I know. It’s my fault. I promise that I’ll get all the work done before Mrs. Laura even asks for it. Haven’t you seen the chains that I completed yesterday?”
Director Wang was so furious that she wanted to hang up the call!
The design that she had drawn was total rubbish!
“Director, you’re the most beautiful and kind-hearted person. Just allow me another day, please.”
Then, Director Wang’s furious expression immediately changed, and she snorted. “Fine. That’ll be the last for this month.”
“No problem, Director. You’re so kind!”
After Mu Siyin hung up the call, she felt like she was going to puke.
The most beautiful and kind-hearted person?
She was the total opposite of that!
Ji Yang and Xiang Qiuci were having breakfast when she arrived upstairs.
“Yangyang, don’t you normally get up pretty early? Why are you only having breakfast at this time?”
With that, Xiang Qiuci smiled embarrassedly. “I got up late.”
Mu Siyin immediately nodded her head. “Did the both of you talk all night long?”
Ji Yang sighed. “That’s not the case. The moment she arrived here yesterday, Leng Jiuchen kept on sending her messages, and both of them were texting very enthusiastically.”
“Huh?” Mu Siyin looked at Xiang Qiuci in disbelief.
Xiang Qiuci blushed a little as she said in embarrassment, “That’s because… he kept on asking me questions.”
When Mu Siyin heard that, she looked at Xiang Qiuci, trying to pry more. “Qiuci… He hasn’t wooed you over so soon, has he?”
Qiu Ci immediately retorted, “No! How could that be?”
“Then, tell us. What do you think of him?”
Xiang Qiuci was a little embarrassed. She looked at Mu Siyin and said, “I-I don’t know.”
“But he surely has some thoughts about you!” Mu Siyin said.
Leng Jiuchen’s intention towards Xiang Qiuci was very obvious. Everyone could see it.
He had fallen in love with Xiang Qiuci.
Deep down, Xiang Qiuci also knew it.
