Tears welled up in Gu Yao’s eyes. Qiao Xi thought that Gu Zheng had bullied Gu Yao and was instantly furious. “Gu Zheng is too much! You’re his younger brother, after all. Why did he bully you until you’re crying? What did he say to you? Did he hit you but you don’t dare to say it? Did he hurt you? Don’t be
afraid of him. Even if he bullies you, you can’t just take it lying down. Beat him back!”
Hearing Qiao Xi’s indignant words, Gu Yao looked at her with eyes full of grief. His lips trembled slightly. “Q-Qiao Xi, please don’t have any dangerous thoughts. I’m a living example!”
Qiao Xi’s face was full of heartache. “Gu Zheng always bullies you. You’ve been oppressed for so many years, so why do you still like this brother of yours so much? Could it be that you like being abused?”
Gu Yao wiped his tears and said pitifully, “Actually, he’s not that strong. At most, I’m only half-submissive. Although he can defeat me with one punch, it’s not easy for him to kill me. After all…”
Qiao Xi hurriedly asked. “What?”
Gu Yao looked at her meaningfully. “After all, he can’t kill me as it’s against the law.”
Qiao Xi:”..”
Gu Yao said, “Even if I resist, I won’t be able to beat Gu Zheng. This is what I’ve learned from many bloody lessons. Moreover, if I resist, Gu Zheng will retaliate even more crazily, so I might as well let him beat me up. Anyway, I’m his younger brother. He can’t kill me, and at least I can keep my life.”
Qiao Xi: “…” This kid was really open-minded!
When they went back, Gu Yao was clearly unhappy. When the two of them returned to No. 29 workstation, the people around them came over one after another.
“Didn’t Yao Mengqing say that she wanted to withdraw from the competition just now? Then why did she return to No. 1 workstation? If she doesn’t want to withdraw from the competition, then she shouldn’t have said that. Why is she pretending?”
“She was just saying that. She definitely won’t withdraw from the competition. After all, she’s the most likely candidate to win the championship!”
Li Xing’er came up to Qiao Xi and asked curiously, “Qiao Xi, I heard that the president of ZR invited you over?”
At once, everyone’s ears perked up. They also asked curiously, “Yeah! Why did the president of ZR ask you to see him? Do you know him? What does he look like? I heard he’s not easy to get close to!”
Qiao Xi: “Uh…”
Li Xing‘er pulled Qiao Xi to a corner and lowered her voice. “Qiao Xi! You’re really something! The president of ZR has always been mysterious and has never invited any designer to meet him alone. He actually helped you check the surveillance footage and even invited you to his office. Are you guys…”
Qiao Xi didn’t know how to explain and could only smile awkwardly.
Li Xing‘er instantly understood. “I understand! Don’t worry, I won’t tell President Gu. You’re already married, so you definitely won’t have any thoughts about the president of ZR, right?”
Qiao Xi had an aggrieved expression. “This… Please don’t misunderstand. Actually…”
Before she could finish speaking, she heard a few women gather together. “If the president of ZR takes a fancy to a woman, it’ll be a huge leap for her. There’s no need for her to compete here at all. She can just sit in a judge’s seat. Half of the world of design is already hers. What’s there to work hard for?!”
“But I heard that the president of ZR doesn’t like women. Has he really taken a liking to Qiao Xi? Although Qiao Xi is very good-looking, there are so many beautiful women here. Why did the president of ZR take a liking to a newcomer?”
“I think it’s a little strange too. The president, who has never been close to women, suddenly likes a woman. Something doesn’t feel right!”
Li Xing‘er was extremely excited. “Qiao Xi! Everyone is curious about your relationship with the President. Does he really like you?”
Before Qiao Xi could reply, Gu Zheng’s assistant walked over with an expensive men’s watch and a cup of hot latte.
The moment the assistant appeared, everyone’s eyes widened and they held their breaths.
“Wow, that latte must be for Qiao Xi!”
“Tm so envious. If the president of ZR has really taken a fancy to her, she wouldn’t have to work hard for the rest of her life. Cinderella will become a rich wife. The plot in this novel would really become a reality.”
Seeing this, Li Xing’er gave Qiao Xia push. “Quick, go accept it! Qiao Xi! This is the president’s love for you!”1
