The man snorted coldly without saying anything, nor did he show any intention of leaving the meeting room.

The air pressure in the conference room was incredibly low, and when this guy got angry, Special Assistant Lu felt like he couldn't breathe.

In just a few tens of seconds, he was almost brainstorming, searching his mind for all kinds of things to say.

Finally, the idea came to me when I glanced at the date on my phone.

"Master Yun, will she be back tonight? Do you need to pick her up?"

The man picked up his phone, opened WeChat, and swiped a few times before he found the chat box with her.

The last time the two exchanged messages was three days ago.

Chu Xing's expression did not improve at all because of Special Assistant Lu's words. Instead, there was a hint of resentment in his eyes.

This heartless woman didn't even send him a message in three days.

Obviously he helped her so much, but she just thanked him in the early morning of that day and didn't say another word until she came back today.

After a while, the man opened his thin lips and uttered two words in dissatisfaction.

"No."

Special Assistant Lu scratched his head, for a moment not being able to understand his CEO's behavior.

I clearly went over there three days ago without any hesitation and worked tirelessly to deliver the documents to them. What’s going on now? Now you’re not even willing to go and pick them up?

He thought for a moment and said, "Then you have to go back to her place tonight. You have already been working overtime at the company for three days when she was not here. Now that she is back, you can't not go back."

In fact, on the day Song Mai left, Chu Xing drove back to the company overnight after delivering the documents to her. It was already six o'clock in the morning when he arrived at the company.

The man didn't rest. He took a shower at the company and continued to work.

These days, Chu Xing is even busier than Song Mai.

The group is in the process of acquiring a foreign drone manufacturing company, so there are a lot of things to prepare recently.

He was a workaholic to begin with, and he also had to take care of his acting in front of her, so his overtime efforts were much less than before. When she was away for the past few days, Chu Xing immediately returned to his previous life of working overtime like a crazy person.

For three whole days, he didn't even sleep for eight hours in total.

He usually just takes a short nap and then gets up to continue working, and the people in the group are enslaved by him and suffer terribly.

Special Assistant Lu looked at the clothes he hadn't changed for three days, and felt bitter in his heart.

Finally, after listening to what Special Assistant Lu said, Chu Xing looked at the time.

"Well, send me there in half an hour."

Hearing these words, Special Assistant Lu was so moved that he felt like tears were welling up in his eyes.

After three days, he can finally get off work...

When Song Mai got home, Chu Xing had not returned yet. She wanted to send him a message asking if he would come back for dinner in the evening.

But when I took out my phone from my bag, I found that it had run out of battery and turned off.

She connected her phone to the charger, grabbed a change of clothes and went to the bathroom to take a comfortable bath.

Although the hotel she stayed in these days had a good environment and complete facilities, she was on a business trip after all. She was like a string, stretched tight and without any slack. Now that it was finally over, she could finally have a good sleep.

After taking a shower, Song Mai wiped her hair with a towel while pushing open the door. The moment she opened the door, her eyes met the man's.

Chu Xing was standing by the door changing his shoes. When he heard the voice and looked up, he saw this scene.

The woman was wearing a light pink nightgown, her hair wet and draped over her shoulders.

I don’t know if it’s because there’s too much steam in the bathroom, but it’s still lingering in her eyes, and her pupils seem to be covered with a layer of mist.

It was misty and clear like a deer, yet with a woman's unique charm.

Two pink clouds suddenly appeared on Song Mai's cheeks. She subconsciously avoided the man's gaze and hurriedly turned around to open the bathroom window.

The autumn wind blew in from the window, dissipating the stuffiness in the room and removing the moisture.

"You're back."

Song Mai felt a little embarrassed.

The man hummed calmly as usual.

"Have you eaten yet? I'll make it."

Chu Xingben didn't feel hungry. He had been busy in the company for so long that he had no appetite at all. Besides, it was getting late and he didn't have the habit of eating at this time.

But when he saw the smile on the woman's face, he somehow answered "Okay".

The smile on Song Mai's face grew even brighter. She simply blew her hair and went to the kitchen to cook.

Fortunately, there were still vegetables that I bought before leaving in the refrigerator. There were not many left, but it was enough for two people.

She skillfully fried two side dishes and cooked some porridge. Soon the cramped and small room was filled with the smell of home.

When the food was served, Song Mai casually tied her hair into a bun.

"time to eat."

The man put down his computer and went to the kitchen to get chopsticks very consciously.

He didn't know what kind of magic she had. He didn't feel hungry just now, but now he felt hungry after smelling the food she cooked.

And it was clearly just a simple home-cooked meal, with nothing special about the ingredients or the cooking method, but he thought it was delicious.

Song Mai was indeed hungry. He hadn't had a proper meal for several days. Now, sitting at home and eating the food he cooked himself, he felt very at ease.

Chu Xing didn't know what he was thinking of. He paused for a moment with his hand holding the chopsticks and then spoke.

"How's the investigation going into the USB flash drive?"

Hearing this, the smile on Song Mai's face faded a little, and his expression became serious.

"I asked the merchant and compared the serial number with the USB flash drive I have now. Sure enough, this USB flash drive is not mine. It must have been replaced by someone else."

"Do you know who it is?"

Song Mai shook his head.

She thought about what happened that day several times but couldn't come up with any conclusion.

She remembered that she went to the locker room after copying the file into the USB drive, and the USB drive was placed on her desk. During this period, countless people had the opportunity to swap the USB drive, and she could not confirm who did it.

The man pursed his lips and comforted her:

"It's okay, take your time. As long as someone does it, there will definitely be loopholes to find."

He put the last mouthful of porridge in the bowl into his mouth. Seeing that Song Mai had not spoken for a long time and didn't know what he was thinking about, he hesitated and spoke again.

"In fact, with your professional ability, you don't necessarily have to stay in this company forever. You are now well-known in the field of commercial translation. Since many things are not going well in this company, you can also consider changing companies."

Song Mai nodded: "It's not that I haven't thought about it, but it's also true that others have hurt me. I don't want to easily let the person who hurt me off every time. I always want her to know the consequences of hurting others. I don't fight or compete in the company, but that doesn't mean I'm easy to bully!"

She was really pissed off this time. God knows if Chu Xing hadn't sent her the information, she would have come up with such a solution.
