Chapter 441 Before She Likes Me
"drive!"
Only after Xiao Yun's order did the driver start the car. He was nervous all the way, but fortunately he had many years of driving experience, so he arrived at the destination safely.
Shen Lan didn't know how much pressure her action brought to the driver. After getting off the car, she consciously stood behind Xiao Yun, always half a meter behind him.
Usually, when Xiao Yun turned his head, he could see Shen Lan's beautiful little face. But today, when he turned his head, there was no one around him, and his mood suddenly became even worse.
This was the fifth time this morning that he wanted to kill Chu Xu, regretting that he had been soft-hearted and had allowed a tiger to become his enemy.
After the two entered the special elevator, the atmosphere in the lobby on the first floor suddenly relaxed. In just a few minutes, Xiao Yun's dark face and Shen Lan's position became the topic of gossip among the employees.
Everyone was speculating about what had happened between the two. The atmosphere between them was so romantic yesterday, so why was there such a sudden change today?
Even Manager Wu from the Human Resources Department and Manager Wang from the Public Relations Department secretly approached Shen Lan to ask what had happened.
Mr. Xiao is usually scary enough, but today he looks like the King of Hell, making people afraid to look him in the eye.
Shen Lan glanced at Xiao Yun's dark circles and replied seriously, "Mr. Xiao worked overtime last night and didn't get enough sleep. He's mentally exhausted and irritable."
Xiao Yun has fair skin, so her dark circles are nowhere to hide. This reason is both substantial and professional.
Both of them believed it and told others about it, but it got distorted as it was passed around.
The last version that reached Liu Lin's ears was that the Xiao Group encountered a major crisis, and President Xiao worked tirelessly for the company and worked all night.
Liu Lin was stunned. As Mr. Xiao's right-hand man, how could he not know that Xiao's company was in great crisis?
As soon as I entered the office, I saw the dark circles under Mr. Xiao's eyes and the low pressure all over his body, and Shen Lan, who was standing next to him with a formal smile and a respectful and distant look.
Liu Lin understood everything.
Mr. Xiao's resentment was as if he had been soaked in the Forgetful River for eight hundred years. Fortunately, Shen Lan could still stand by as if nothing had happened.
In some ways, the two were a match made in heaven.
He found an excuse to send Shen Lan out, and said to Xiao Yun with a smile: "Boss Xiao, why don't you just tell her about Chu Xu?"
Xiao Yun stopped the work in his hands, leaned back in his chair and rubbed his temples, closing his eyes with a tired look on his face.
"Chu Xu's target is me, why involve her?"
Liu Lin thought of Shen Lan's distant look and said, "Then why don't you say anything? Aren't you afraid that Shen Lan will misunderstand and push her further away?"
Xiao Yun opened his eyes, his eyes dark. "If it weren't for that agreement, she wouldn't want to get close to me. Right now, there's no place for me in her heart."
"That's fine too. Before she falls in love with me, I'll deal with Chu Xu first. After this is over, I'll pursue her properly. This way, I won't cause her any danger or trouble."
It was rare for him to say so much from his heart, and Liu Lin was stunned for a moment.
Xiao Yun made this decision after careful consideration, but he always felt that something was wrong when he heard it, but he couldn't put his finger on it.
Liu Lin has had many emotional experiences, but none of them combined is as complicated as the relationship between Xiao Yun and Shen Lan.
He really doesn't understand.
"Boss Xiao, is Chu Xu that capable? Even if he understands the Xiao family and you, he probably wouldn't be able to compete with you. Is it really necessary to be so defensive?"
Xiao Yun's eyes darkened, revealing a sense of danger: "Liang Ye has found out some information. The illegitimate son of the Chu family was afraid that Chu Xu would return and threaten his position. He sent people abroad to hunt him down, but failed several times."
"Do you think the person who can escape being hunted down time and time again is a poor, helpless person wandering outside?"
Liu Lin shook his head decisively, his face serious: "It seems that he does have some skills."
"Chu Xu is ruthless but sweet-tongued, eloquent, cunning, and intelligent. No matter what situation he finds himself in, he will never allow himself to suffer. I would venture to guess that he should have established his own power by now."
The fact that Xiao Yun gave this evaluation shows that he thinks highly of Chu Xu.
Liu Lin thought about it and it made sense. Chu Xu was once known as the "Twin Stars of J City" together with Xiao Yun. How could he be a useless little character?
“That does require some caution.”
Xiao Yun leaned back in his chair again, with the back of his hand resting on his eyes: "I haven't paid attention to him in the past few years, but he must have been paying attention to me."
"Then the previous news between you and Shen Lan..." Liu Lin's expression suddenly became nervous.
It caused such a big fuss before, if Chu Xu had paid attention to President Xiao, he would definitely know about it.
Xiao Yun's tone remained calm: "Ask Manager Wang to come over. I have something for him to do."
After he finished speaking, he opened the drawer, took out a photo and threw it to Liu Lin: "Tell her to return to J City as soon as possible."
