“Some people are really hypocritical. The last time I asked her if she knew Mu Yunli, she said she didn’t. Now the news is proving her wrong, isn’t it?”
“Maybe they already have that kind of relationship behind our backs.”
…
In the face of the gossip, Qiao Ruoxi quickly understood that they had seen the news about the party last night.
That was why he had misunderstood her and thought that she had a sugar daddy.
She couldn’t control what others wanted to say about her.
Qiao Ruoxi did not refute him. She returned to her job and began her new day of work.
But during work, she could clearly feel the exclusion from her colleagues. They would gossip about her behind her back from time to time.
He looked at her with disdain.
Originally, her situation was already troublesome enough. But with the arrival of Mu Yunli, she quickly became the target of public criticism.
At that time, Qiao Ruoxi was looking down and fiddling with the products in the container. The people in the store cried out in surprise and the colleague next to her called out to her. She looked up, only to see Mu Yunli walking into the store.
The man was dressed in a white suit that was spotlessly clean. He looked like a fairy that had descended from the sky.
It accentuated his devilish charm, which would easily mesmerize others.
He was holding a bouquet of bright red roses in his hand. It formed a strong contrast with his white clothes. It was especially striking.
Under everyone’s gaze, he walked into the store and walked straight towards Qiao Ruoxi. Then he placed the flowers on her counter. “Cute girl, this is for you. Let’s have dinner together tonight. I’ll wait for you.”
He gave her a charming smile and left the store after saying that.
The atmosphere in the shop froze for a few seconds. Soon, all kinds of voices of surprise and disbelief sounded.
“Oh my god, is that Mu Yunli from the Mu Group?”
“He gave flowers to Qiao Ruoxi. Oh my god, what is their relationship?”
“It’s not just a date, right? He’s already given her flowers and he’s even treating us to a meal…”
Many people were speaking with jealousy and staring at Qiao Ruoxi, green with envy.
If the news of the banquet last night was spread that she was only Mu Yunli’s female companion. Now that he had come to deliver flowers openly, it was equivalent to confirming the scandal.
It would have been fine if they were just suspected to be dating, but someone had to think of it in a complicated way.
“Qiao Ruoxi, you’re already dating President Mu, aren’t you? He’s already sending flowers to court you. Why don’t you go to Simu Jewelry across the street to work?”
“Yeah, why are you still here?”
“Who doesn’t know that Di Ruiling Jewelry and Simu Jewelry are competitors? You have a close relationship with the boss of the other party now. Could it be that you’re a spy?”
“Don’t tell me you’re secretly telling Simu Jewelry about our designs?”
“If she does, she’ll go to jail. Miss Bao, shouldn’t she be fired?”
Those people couldn’t wait for her to be fired. They all felt that she was stealing everyone’s limelight and sales.
Bao Juhua also found her an eyesore. She felt that Qiao Ruoxi’s existence had seriously affected the team’s unity.
She really wanted to fire her, but as a shop assistant, Qiao Ruoxi did not make any fundamental mistakes. She had no reason to fire her.
Qiao Ruoxi had been working the whole day. She could have gotten off work earlier, but everyone in the store knew that Mu Yunli was treating her to dinner. So they seemed to have discussed it beforehand and didn’t want her to go to the appointment.
When she finished packing her bag and was about to leave, Bao Juhua suddenly asked her to stay for overtime. Her excuse was for her to go to the warehouse at the back to do monthly check-ups.
Qiao Ruoxi had no choice but to go to the warehouse to check.
At the end of the day, a black Bentley was parked in front of Simu Jewelry. Mu Yunli, who was sitting in the back seat, was paying attention to Di Ruiling.
He had to keep an eye on Qiao Ruoxi’s every move. Once she left the house, he could ask the driver to drive over to pick her up.
But Qiao Ruoxi was nowhere to be found.
He called her, but she told him that she was working overtime.
Mu Yunli thought that she did not want to eat with him, so she found an excuse to reject him.
But he was patient. Since she was working overtime, he would continue to wait until she was done.
Qiao Ruoxi worked overtime from morning to night to check the inventory. She was busy until around 10 pm.
After leaving the warehouse, she was told that the manager had asked her to lock the door.
What else could Qiao Ruoxi say?
After the night shift ended, she left the shop with her two colleagues. They closed the door and locked it.
The two men left on their scooters. Qiao Ruoxi was about to take a taxi back.
When she was waiting for the taxi by the side of the road, the black Bentley stopped beside her. The window rolled down, revealing a devilishly handsome face.
“Hi, lady.”
“You’ve been waiting for me?” asked Qiao Ruoxi who was surprised to realize that it was Mu Yunli.
“That’s right.”
Mu Yunli smiled and opened the car door for her. “Please get in!”
Qiao Ruoxi did not get into the car. She shook her head and said, “I’m sorry. Please don’t do this again, Mr. Mu.”
“What?” he asked, glancing at her with his devilish eyes.
“I mean, give me flowers, eat, wait for me. If you do this, you will only make my colleagues misunderstand me.”
Qiao Ruoxi wanted to tell him what she was thinking. She wanted him to understand that it was impossible between them and wanted him to stop doing these useless things.
Mu Yunli did not care at all. He was used to doing whatever he wanted. “Then let them talk. We can’t control what others say.”
Qiao Ruoxi sighed deeply. “You’ll make me lose my job.”
Mu Yunli smiled cheerfully. “Perfect. You want to work in my shop? I’ll give you three times of your current salary.”
Seeing that she was silent, he added, “It’s up to you to decide if you want to join the Mu Group, or if you want to join the company.”
It sounded like a joke, but his voice was filled with unquestionable seriousness.
He really thought so. If she was willing, he would welcome her to join Mu Group at any time.
No matter what position she wanted to take, he would fulfill it unconditionally.
As long as she was willing.
It was impossible for Qiao Ruoxi to betray Di Ruiling Jewelry and join Simu Jewelry. That would be tantamount to betraying Feng Yunan and joining Mu Yunli’s camp.
“I’m sorry, but I won’t leave Di Ruiling. Goodbye, Mr. Mu. I’ll take my leave now!”
Qiao Ruoxi politely declined and left in the opposite direction.
When Mu Yunli got out of the car and was about to send her home, she had already disappeared.
Mu Yunli could not describe his current mood. He was rejected by her again.
She did not want to leave Feng Yunan. It could only mean that his current efforts were not enough to make her waver.
He would not give up. One day, he would definitely wait until she fell into his arms.
