Chapter 623: She Is In My Design Department
At this time, the studio was full of the sound of the keyboards. It was very quiet.
When Qingyan and Xiao Chennan arrived at the studio, all of the employees were all very excited.
“Boss is here…”
“Boss, you have not come over to the studio during our working hours in a very long time. Are you here to check on us? We are all being very obedient.”
“Boss is really awesome!”
Xiao Chennan did not come to the studio empty handed. He brought some afternoon tea and snacks for the employees.
“Everyone, come and get your tea and snacks on your own. Thanks for your hard work,” Qingyan spoke to the employees on Xiao Chennan’s behalf.
Tan Xiu knew Xiao Chennan’s intention for coming to the studio today. After that, she told the girl standing next to her, “Go to the design department and ask Xiao O to come out.”
“Okay, Sister Xiuxiu.”
The young girl hurried to the office. After a short while, the young boy whom Tan Xiu has shown Xiao Chennan in the resume came over and said, “Wow, there is afternoon tea and snacks for us! Thank you, Brother Chennan.”
Xiao Chennan was really disappointed this time.
“Thank you everyone for your hard work. Brother Chennan and I will leave first.” When Qingyan saw the decline in Xiao Chennan’s eyes, he quickly looked for an excuse to send him home.
“Brother Chennan, have a safe trip!”
The employees were all very satisfied with the afternoon tea and snacks and they watched as Xiao Chennan leave while they were eating. At this time, tan Xiu turned her attention to the door of the design department.
At this time, the young boy who was just called out told Tan Xiu, “Sister Xiuxiu, I will bring the afternoon tea and snacks in for Sister O.”
However, Xiao Chennan was already far away and he could not hear what the young boy has just said.
Tan Xiu knew that Vera must have seen the movement outside and she knew very well how she should deal with Xiao Chennan’s suspicion.
When the young boy brought the milk tea and snacks into the design department, he saw Vera wiping the tears off her face. “Sister O, why are you crying?”
“I face the computer for so many hours every day. I think that my eyes are really hurting,” Vera replied as she continued sobbing.
…
After returning home, Xiao Chennan sat down on the sofa as he stared at the aromatherapy fragrance that was placed on his bedside in a daze. At this time, Qingyan could only stare at Xiao Chennan with a worried expression on his face. He knew that he could not allow Xiao Chennan to continue going on like this.
“Brother Chennan, several big productions have sent their movie scripts to us lately. Do you want to have a look at it?” Qingyan asked as he tried to divert Xiao Chennan’s attention.
Xiao Chennan shook his head before he said, “No, just let it go. I am not in the mood to film any movie for the time being.”
“Then…why don’t we arrange for some team building activities and retreat with the employees from the studio instead? We can arrange for everyone to go out and have some fun,” Qingyan asked as he continued coming up with various proposals.
“I want to go abroad.”
“Brother Chennan, are you kidding me?” Qingyan was utterly stunned.
Why would he be going abroad at a time like this? Wasn’t it just because he wanted to look for someone?
“I have to find out about her whereabouts. I can’t help but feel very worried and anxious because there is no news about her at all. Book me a ticket and help me to clear my itinerary for the next few days.”
“…”
Brother Chennan has never acted this way before. He had always been a very calm and composed person. However, he was actually thinking of roaming the earth because of love now?
“Brother Chennan, I am afraid that we will be unable to do so. It is rather difficult for me to clear your schedule for a few days in a row. We have a lot of activities lined up recently…”
“Then we will just compensate them.”
Qingyan: “…”
Boss is crazy!
He was absolutely insane!
Since he already knew that this would happen, then why did he choose to let her go in the first place? Why?
Qingyan really could not understand what was going on in Xiao Chennan’s mind. He was running away from reality. Now, he was even spending money to go abroad to look for Vera. Was there really something wrong with Xiao Chennan’s brains?
As he said that, Qingyan struggled to find a way to move and rearrange Xiao Chennan’s schedule and itinerary for him.
That night, Qingyan planned out Xiao Chennan’s itinerary and he even booked air tickets for them. They would be able to leave on the earliest flight in the morning tomorrow. After that, Qingyan called Tan Xiu to inform her that their boss would be taking some time off as they would be going abroad to relax for a few days.
Tan Xiu could not help but feel that something was wrong when she heard Qingyan’s words.
“Brother Chennan does not have any activities planned abroad. Is he going abroad for some personal matters?”
“Isn’t it just because he misses Vera too much? Brother Chennan has not heard from Vera ever since she left. Therefore, he is planning to go abroad to look for her,” Qingyan explained helplessly. “I don’t even understand the reason why they broke up in the first place.”
He was going abroad to look for her?
This was not good.
“Sister Xiuxiu, anyway, I am just calling to inform you about this matter. If there is anything important, we will make the adjustments and arrangements in time to come.”
Tan Xiu thought for a moment before she felt that she could not torture Xiao Chennan like this anymore. Therefore, she told Qingyan, “I think you should change boss’s itinerary to have a team building retreat with us instead.”
“Huh?” Qingyan could not understand what she was saying. “Sister Xiuxiu, Brother Chennan is not interested to go on a retreat with us. He wants to find out some news about Vera.”
“The reason why I am asking you to make this arrangement is because I want to give him news about Vera.”
Qingyan: “!!!”
“She is in my design department. However, it seems as though she is still feeling very uncertain and upset about her relations.h.i.+p with Brother Chennan now. So, why don’t we take advantage of this team building retreat to help the both of them to reconcile then?”
Qingyan suddenly felt that there was hypoxia in his brain.
It was no wonder why there was no news about Vera at all after she left for abroad. It seemed as though she was actually hiding in his studio all along!
Qingyan was very shocked.
How could this be possible?
“Why don’t we book an executive suite for the both of them for the team building retreat tomorrow? Make sure that you send Brother Chennan directly to the bed and breakfast for the team building retreat tomorrow. After that, we can make sure that they finally reconcile with one another. I will take care of Vera.”
“Alright then, let’s do that. I will ask for a refund for the flight ticket now!”
Therefore, it seemed as though their fate has not ended just yet. The both of them still had an affinity for one another.
That’s right. If they were still deeply in love with one another, why would they want to suffer in silence anyway?
Qingyan could not help but feel a little excited at the thought of Brother Chennan meeting Vera tomorrow. He felt even happier than when he was meeting his own lover.
Well, he was not only going to book an executive suite tomorrow. He was going to book those special executive suites meant for a honeymoon. He would ask for a room with a pool, and roses to be placed on the bed with sweet orange fragrances on the headboard.
If that was the case, Qingyan believed that Xiao Chennan would recover very soon.
Of course, all of this had to be a surprised.
Only he and Sister Xiuxiu knew about this.
So, Qingyan could only wait and see how Sister Xiuxiu would be able to trick Vera into coming to the bed and breakfast tomorrow.
Actually, there was no need for Tan Xiu to deceive Vera at all. This was because Vera would be more than willing to show up as long as Xiao Chennan would not be around. Moreover, since they would be going up to the mountains, Vera felt that she would love to be breathing in the fresh air so that she could take her mind off things. Lately, she really needed to clear her mind because she has been very influenced by Xiao Chennan.
When she went home that night, Vera quickly packed her luggage for the next three days.
She would also need to bring her laptop along with her. In fact, she felt that she was simply having a change of scenery for the next few days. She could not stop retouching and editing pictures for the studio just because they were on a retreat.
…
Qingyan was already waiting outside Xiao Chennan’s house at half past six in the morning. Qingyan quickly greeted Xiao Chennan as soon as he saw him coming out of his house with his luggage in his hand. “Morning, Brother Chennan.”
Xiao Chennan did not notice anything strange about Qingyan and he simply got into the car after handing his luggage over to Qingyan.
Qingyan had a guilty conscience as he was putting Xiao Chennan’s luggage into the car. When he saw that Xiao Chennan’s eyes were wide open, he hurriedly said “Brother Chennan, we are going to take some time to get to the airport. You should rest for a short while first.”
“Okay.” Xiao Chennan replied before he closed his eyes.
Qingyan finally heaved a huge sigh of relief. He needed some skills to be able to lie.
He could not help but wonder if Brother Chennan would slap him in the face when they arrive at their destination.
Now, he could only hope that Brother Chennan would not wake up so quickly…
