Chapter 247: Another Bestie?
At 6:00 p.m., Mu Siyin was just looking through the information when Shi Beiyu suddenly sent her a message.
[What time do you get off tonight?]
Mu Siyin looked at the message and frowned as she thought about it. It was still too early to submit a design draft, and everyone in the office was monitoring her. In order to avoid creating a fuss, she decided that it would be better for her to continue working on her design back at his study.
[I’m good to leave before 7:00 p.m.]
After that, Shi Beiyu sent her another message.
[Come downstairs in another 20 minutes.]
Mu Siyin chuckled and sent back a one-word reply. [Okay.]
Since Mu Siyin had offended Mi Qian today, Mi Qian’s eyes were currently staring at Mu Siyin, for fear that she would cheat.
Seeing that Mu Siyin was packing her belongings and preparing to get off work, she could not help but snort. They had all been racking their brains, thinking about the design for the whole day, yet Mu Siyin did not seem stressed at all.
Mu Siyin must have asked her boyfriend for help!
Mi Qian told herself that she would find evidence and expose Mu Siyin!
When Mu Siyin arrived at the front desk with her bag, she happened to b.u.mp into Director w.a.n.g, who turned around the front desk with a cup of coffee in her hand.
Seeing that Mu Siyin was getting off work so early, Director w.a.n.g raised her eyebrows in surprise. “You’re getting off work so early?”
Mu Siyin narrowed her eyes and smiled. “Well, I have something on tonight.”
Director w.a.n.g sighed helplessly. “Is there a day that you don’t leave early? You used to complain that I never gave you work. Yet now that I have finally arranged some work for you, you are still not committed. If you can’t come out with a product that will satisfy Mrs. Laura, you won’t need to come to work anymore.”
Instead of feeling angry, Mu Siyin smiled. “Director, don’t worry. I’m still antic.i.p.ating the promotion that you’ll be giving me.”
Director w.a.n.g snorted. “Antic.i.p.ating is nothing. You have to show that you are capable!”
“Yes, I understand.”
Mu Siyin’s smile frustrated Director w.a.n.g so much that the latter directly walked into the office with her cup of coffee, without wanting to say another word.
Mu Siyin went downstairs and exited the company’s main door, where she saw Shi Beiyu’s car parked on the side of the road.
She quickened her pace and walked over. As soon as she got to the side of the car, Shi Beiyu opened the door and pulled her directly onto his lap.
Mu Siyin raised her eyebrow and looked at him. “Aren’t you busy?”
Shi Beiyu laughed. “Aren’t you busy as well? Didn’t you say that you had to work overtime?”
Mu Siyin pursed her lips and snorted softly. “If it weren’t because of our chief designer. Today, she came to me and tried to brainwash me to back down from the opportunity. She’s probably afraid that I will ask you for help and take over her position.”
Shi Beiyu squinted his eyes. “That’s beyond my ability.”
“That’s why I’ve given it some thought, and I think it will be better that I continue working on my design back at home. I’ll pretend to work in the office. Otherwise, I’m afraid they will come up with some other tricks before the submission date.”
Shi Beiyu curled his lips and habitually stroked her long hair. He nodded gently. “Smart.”
Upon hearing that, Mu Siyin smiled happily as she stared at him and blinked without saying a word.
Shi Beiyu raised his eyebrows when he saw Mu Siyin’s expression and asked, “Is there anything you want to say?”
Mu Siyin squinted her eyes and forced a smile. Then, she said with a pleading look, “I… That is, I have a bestie who is returning from abroad, and she will be performing tomorrow night. Yangyang and I are planning to go watch her performance tomorrow.”
Shi Beiyu furrowed his eyebrow when he heard that. “Another bestie?”
Mu Siyin nodded. “That’s right. The three of us are best friends.”
“Why haven’t you mentioned it before?”
Mu Siyin blinked and replied, “She’s a busy person. She has been studying abroad before this, and now she’s busy performing around the world. That’s why we don’t get to meet often. This time, she happened to have a performance around here and had saved tickets for Yangyang and me. How can we say no to it, right?”
