Chapter 1294: Chapter 1293: I Will Not Sign
"It’s nothing..."
Though Qiao Yangrou felt a bit jealous and even more envious of this woman, she ultimately owed it to her for saving her from embarrassment. Her basic manners told her she still needed to express her gratitude.
"That’s good."
After confirming Qiao Yangrou was alright, Gu Tong let go of her hand. She didn’t like being too close to others, especially not in such proximity with strangers.
Gu Tong’s movements were clean and brisk, even a bit dashing.
This left Qiao Yangrou slightly stunned, yet in the next second, her eyes widened.
Gu Tong took two steps forward and, holding a rose in one hand, handed it to Li Yan, saying, "I’m back~"
...
’Gasp...’
At the same time, everyone present drew in a sharp breath.
They stared, dumbfounded, at this beautiful and charismatic woman, only thinking her actions somewhat insane.
While she was very good-looking, with a great figure and excellent skills...
That doesn’t mean you can just hand a single rose to the general manager...
Most men, with some masculine pride, care about face; a single rose wouldn’t make them happy...
Such boldness, it’s too much.
Everyone had their thoughts.
...
Li Yan’s face, initially as cold as a winter’s day, gradually began to crack. A faint smile appeared at the corner of his lips, his voice filled with rare warmth, saying, "It’s good you’re back."
He took the rose with one hand, completely unbothered by how incongruous it was. His indulgence was natural, with no emotions hidden.
...
"Oh my, I’m not seeing things, right... Our general manager actually smiled. Am I... am I not awake yet..."
"Who exactly is that woman that could melt an ice-cold man, that’s some extraordinary skill..."
"Who cares who she is, to be pampered like this by the general manager, she must be on his mind!"
"By the way, have you guys noticed, our Director Qiao looks a bit like this beauty?"
In the midst of discussing the relationships, a discordant voice emerged, prompting the higher-ups to re-examine Gu Tong’s appearance.
If it hadn’t been pointed out, they indeed wouldn’t have noticed...
Director Qiao Yangrou’s appearance and temperament did resemble this beauty a bit.
However...
People fear comparisons!
Place them side by side, and the difference is immediately clear!
...
The murmuring voices affected Qiao Yangrou. Her face turned a bit dark, her fists clenched involuntarily, and she was even a bit angry!
Qiao Yangrou was Qiao Yangrou, unlike anyone else, bearing no resemblance. She was unique.
She disliked such comparisons!
Thinking this, she couldn’t help but step forward, her tone filled with seriousness, saying, "General Manager, regarding the contract I gave you, have you processed it?"
This was a company, not a place for romance.
There was no need to let a non-staff woman disrupt their work order.
This was the stance Qiao Yangrou displayed.
Li Yan, who was originally ready to chat with the petite woman, was interrupted by Qiao Yangrou’s sudden stance. He raised an eyebrow, slightly displeased, saying, "The contract hasn’t been signed. I thought Director Qiao should have known the issue!"
Qiao Yangrou was a bit dumbfounded, saying, "What does the General Manager mean..."
Li Yan’s thin lips parted, saying, "The meaning is simple! This contract has nothing new; it offers no benefit to the company’s development, so I won’t sign it!"
