Blackening starts from the golden years

"Okay, let me make amends for my mistake. I'll go to the furniture store with you."

After saying this, Yuan Xudong looked at Judy, who was looking happy, and said with a smile:
"Go wait for me downstairs, I'll be down soon."

"Okay, I'll wait for you downstairs."

"Ah."

Seeing Judy happily leaving the meeting room, Yuan Xudong looked at Ye Lan and Cao Lulu beside him and said:

"Director Ye, Lulu, please go out first. I want to be alone with Chen Xi for a while."

"it is good."

"Ah."

After looking at Yuan Xudong and Chen Xi, Cao Lulu and Ye Lan left the meeting room together. After the two of them left, Yuan Xudong walked behind Chen Xi, put his arms around her, kissed her on the face and said with a smile:
"What's wrong? Are you in a bad mood?"

"No."

Turning his head to look at Yuan Xudong, Chen Xi frowned slightly and asked:

"What's going on between you and Judy? I see she seems to be very close to you, and she even wants you to accompany her to the furniture store."

"Hey, are you jealous?"

Looking at Chen Xi, Yuan Xudong deliberately interrupted and said with a smile:

"My wife looks so good and cute when she's jealous."

"Don't interrupt me. I'm asking you a question. What's going on between you and Judy?"

Chen Xi asked again. Looking at her, Yuan Xudong smiled and said:
"It's a long story. I'll talk to you about it in detail when we get home tonight, okay?"

"it is good."

Looking at Yuan Xudong, Chen Xi nodded and agreed. Looking at her, Yuan Xudong kissed her tempting red lips, then looked into her eyes and smiled gently:
"I'm leaving first. I'll pick you up in the evening and go home together."

"Ah."

"Let's go out."

"it is good."

Yuan Xudong and Chen Xi walked out of the meeting room together, then he left Winner and met up with Judy who was waiting in the cafe downstairs, and went to the furniture store together.

……

Winner Decoration Company, Design Department.

After Yuan Xudong left, Ye Lan called Chen Xi and Cao Lulu to her director's office.

Looking at Chen Xi, whose face was as gloomy as water, Ye Lan spoke first:

"What is the relationship between Mr. Yuan and Judy? What role did he play in this?"

"Let's not talk about other people's business for now. Not only did you take over the job I turned down, you also asked Lulu to do it for me. Why?"

Chen Xi sat in front of Ye Lan's desk and looked at her and asked directly.

"Oh, this matter, this matter."

Looking at Chen Xi, Ye Lan explained:

“I really had no choice but to do this. Originally, you said you would not do it anymore, and I thought the matter was over, but I didn’t expect that Judy would call you and ask you to help her design. As you know, our company is a service-oriented enterprise. Customers have repeatedly asked us, and we have repeatedly refused. If this gets out, people will think that our company is arrogant and has no service spirit.

Last time, Judy had already made very specific design requirements. I thought Lulu had been following you for so long, so she would be able to design something similar. I really didn’t expect this result.”

"Sister Lan."

Looking at Ye Lan, Cao Lulu stood beside Chen Xi, like a little girl who had made a mistake, lowered her head and whispered:
"I, I let you down."

Looking up at her, Ye Lan used her eyes to signal Chen Xi who was sitting there in silence. Cao Lulu looked at Chen Xi, her eyes reddened as she whispered an apology:
"Sister Xi, I really know I was wrong. I'm sorry. I shouldn't have used your name to make the design. It's all my fault."

Looking up at Cao Lulu, Chen Xi said angrily:

“It’s ok for you to use my name, but can you use your brain when designing and not be led by the client? I’ve told you before that if the client knows everything, there’s no need for a designer. The Palace of Versailles she mentioned is a feeling, an atmosphere. How can you really think she wants to live in a French palace?

Her house is so small, with a floor height of less than four meters. You designed a lot of ceilings, crystal chandeliers, Roman carved columns, and piled a lot of Rococo elements in it. This will only make people look more depressed and cumbersome. Let's not consider the cleaning problem after moving in. Will people really feel comfortable living in it? When you were in school, didn't your teacher teach you that it is better to leave blank space in design and it is best not to fill it up? "

"Sister Xi, I'm sorry. I apologize to you."

Cao Lulu cried and bowed to Chen Xi to apologize.

"Don't apologize to me. If you are a designer, you can't make such a low-level mistake."

Chen Xi still spoke sternly.

"Okay, okay, let's calm down."

Ye Lan advised, and then she looked at Chen Xi and said:
"But weren't you too impulsive in agreeing to Judy just now?"

Looking at Ye Lan, Chen Xi asked back:

"So how do you think we should solve the situation just now?"

"You only have two days. Can you do it?"

Ye Lan asked worriedly.

"The two days is the time I left for Lulu to do the drawings. As for the design, I had already finished it in my head while you were arguing in the conference room just now."

Chen Xi replied.

"what?"

Cao Lulu and Ye Lan couldn't help but glance at Chen Xi. Ye Lan said:
"So you've already decided to take the blame for Lulu from the beginning?"

"I don't want to take the blame for her."

Glancing at Cao Lulu beside him, Chen Xi said proudly:

"You guys posted the picture under my identity, I have to redeem my reputation, right?"

"Thank you for your hard work."

Ye Lan smiled awkwardly.

After looking at her, Chen Xi stood up and left.
"I don't want to talk to you. I'm going to work."

After watching Chen Xi leave, Ye Lan immediately glared at Cao Lulu and said:
"Think about it carefully. I really didn't expect that she would help you and protect you so much at the critical moment."

"Sister Lan, I'm sorry. I know I was wrong."

Cao Lulu lowered her head and said pitifully. Looking at her, Ye Lan said:
"Okay, go out and do your work."

"Ah."

Cao Lulu turned and left Ye Lan's office, returned to her workstation and started working.

……

On the other side, in the furniture store, Yuan Xudong was shopping with Judy and giving her advice.

Looking at Yuan Xudong beside her, Judy smiled happily and said:

"I just like the carvings on European-style furniture. They look gorgeous and luxurious."

"You like carving?"

Yuan Xudong looked at the European-style bed next to him and said with a smile:
"Look at this. Isn't the carving on it beautiful?"

"Oh, this bed is so beautiful. It looks gorgeous and luxurious. I like it."

Reaching out her hand and gently patting Yuan Xudong's body, Judy said shyly and happily:

"You're so annoying, what do you mean?"

"What do I mean?"

Yuan Xudong was a little confused. What did he mean?

Judy gave Yuan Xudong a shy look, lowered her head, blushed and whispered shyly:

"This bed is so big, what do you want to do?"

"I……"

Yuan Xudong was confused. He really didn't want to do anything. Obviously, Judy had misunderstood. She stood beside Yuan Xudong and said in a coquettish voice:

"If you really like it, I'll buy it."

"It's not necessary, it's not necessary."

Looking at Judy, Yuan Xudong smiled awkwardly:
"I just said it casually, there is really no other hidden meaning."

"Just tell me?"

Judy glared at Yuan Xudong fiercely and said coquettishly:
"I don't care. Anyway, I bought this bed. What kind of flowers are carved on it?"

"This is acanthus leaf, a common pattern in European architectural design, symbolizing resurrection and rebirth."

Yuan Xudong introduced with a smile.

"Resurrection and rebirth?"

Judy's eyes lit up when she heard this. She looked at Yuan Xudong and said:

"This is what I need, resurrection and rebirth. I'll definitely buy this bed."

As she said this, she ran to the bed, sat on it, bounced a few times, and laughed:

"This bed is really nice, big and soft, Xudong. I find that you know a lot."

"That's right. How can I deceive you girls if I don't know much?"

Yuan Xudong smiled. Looking at him, Judy covered her cheeks with both hands and asked shyly:
"Am I considered a girl?"

"of course."

Yuan Xudong smiled and said:
"You are not a girl, are you still a boy?"

“Disgusting~~”

Judy rolled her eyes at Yuan Xudong and said in a coquettish voice:

"Come to my place for lunch at noon. I'll make you something delicious."

"Okay."

Yuan Xudong agreed with a smile. He accompanied Judy shopping for a while, ordered a few pieces of European-style furniture, and then went home with her.

……

At noon, at Judy's house, Yuan Xudong was helping Judy fix the drawer of the dressing table. At this moment, Judy walked into the bedroom, looked at Yuan Xudong and smiled:
"How's the repair going?"

"It's all fixed, take a look."

Yuan Xudong stood up and smiled.

"All fixed?"

Judy was a little surprised. Her dressing table was an antique and she had never been willing to replace it with a new one. It was not that she was reluctant to spend money to buy a new dressing table, but she was reluctant to part with this antique.

Bending down to check the drawers of the dresser, Judy found that they were all repaired. She smiled happily and said:

"Xudong, you are amazing. Thank you very much."

"It's okay, don't be polite to me."

"Well, the meal is ready, let's go eat."

"it is good."

……

Living room, dining table.

Looking at Yuan Xudong, Judy put a sizzling prawn in his bowl and said with a smile:
"Xudong, try this shrimp and see how it tastes."

"Okay, let me try it."

After saying this, Yuan Xudong took a bite and praised:
"Well, this shrimp is really delicious, with good color, aroma and flavor. Your cooking skills are no worse than those of a chef in a five-star hotel."

Hearing Yuan Xudong say this, Judy laughed so hard that she couldn't close her mouth and said:

"You're really good at talking. If it tastes good, eat more."

As she spoke, Judy put two more prawns in Yuan Xudong's bowl. In return, Yuan Xudong also put a prawn in her bowl. He looked at Judy and smiled:

"You should eat it too, it will add more nutrition and keep you healthy."

"okay."

After looking up at Yuan Xudong, Judy lowered her head shyly and ate the prawns in silence.

……

In the afternoon, after finishing his meal, Yuan Xudong was ready to leave. Looking at him, Judy murmured in a low voice, somewhat reluctantly:
"Are you leaving?"

"Well, why wouldn't I leave?"

Looking at Judy, Yuan Xudong smiled and said:
"Or do you want me to stay because you don't want me to leave?"

"Ah."

Judy nodded, she held Yuan Xudong's arm, looked up at him shyly and said:

"Then can you stay?"

"Why are you staying?"

Yuan Xudong looked at Judy and asked with a smile. Looking at him, Judy shyly whispered:
"Stay with me."

"Well, what do I do with you?"

Yuan Xudong looked at Judy and continued to ask. Looking at him, Judy's face turned red and said:
"Do whatever you want. I'll listen to you."

"You always listen to me?"

"Ah."

Looking at the shy Judy, Yuan Xudong couldn't help but feel a little excited. He smiled slightly and said:
"Do you really want to be queen?"

"Ah."

"it is good."

Looking into Judy's eyes, Yuan Xudong became a little excited and said:
"You play the queen, and this is your palace. I play the general of the rebels, and now you, the queen, have been captured by me."

"what?"

Looking at Yuan Xudong, Judy blushed and said shyly:

"What do you want to do to me?"

"What do you think? My Queen, I am the general of the rebels, and now you are my prisoner."

Yuan Xudong said with a smile. After that, he reached out and hugged Judy in front of him horizontally in his arms. Then, he walked to the sofa in the middle of the living room, looked down at Judy in his arms and smiled:

"Your Majesty, I will be gentle with you later."

Looking up at Yuan Xudong, Judy hooked her hands around his neck and blushed shyly:
"Xudong, you are so perverted."

"abnormal?"

Yuan Xudong felt as if there were black lines on his face like in a cartoon, and two crows flew over his head, screaming, "Pervert, calling him a pervert? This is outrageous, how can this be tolerated?"

"Hey, you call me a pervert, right?"

Looking down at Judy in his arms, Yuan Xudong said with a sinister smile:
"You're right, I am a pervert. I'll let you know how powerful I am later."

"I'm so scared, hehe~~"

Judy laughed.

"Hehe, you'll cry later. You're my prisoner now, you know that?"

"I know. I'm a female prisoner. What do you want to do to me?"

Looking at Yuan Xudong, Judy laughed provocatively:

"I want to treat you well. You can't bully the prisoners, especially the female prisoners."

"Hehe, I will treat you well."

Yuan Xudong smiled, holding Judy and walking to between the sofa and the low table in front of the sofa. Then he put Judy in his arms on the low table in front of him and let her lie flat, then leaned over...

"Ah~~"

"Hmm~~Hmm~~"

……

More than an hour later, Yuan Xudong left Judy's house contentedly.

……

In the evening, Yuan Xudong from the Design Department of Yingjia Decoration Company came to pick up Chen Xi from work.

Looking up at Yuan Xudong, Chen Xi continued drawing at his workstation:
"You go back first. I have to stay and work overtime tonight."

"Then I'll stay and work overtime with you."

Yuan Xudong smiled. He walked to Chen Xi's desk, looked at Chen Xi who was drawing seriously and smiled:
"Did you have dinner?"

"not yet."

"What do you want to eat? Should I buy it for you, or should I go home and make it and bring it to you?"

"Don't bother, there's a restaurant downstairs, just buy me a salad."

"Okay, I'll go buy it now, you wait for me to come back."

"Ah."

Looking up at the back of Yuan Xudong who was leaving, Chen Xi lowered her head and continued to draw. At this time, Cao Lulu, who was also working overtime in the company, came over. She walked to Chen Xi's side and looked at her, and whispered:
"Sister Xi, I'm going downstairs to eat. Do you want me to bring you something?"

"No, thank you."

Looking up at Cao Lulu who seemed cautious, Chen Xi said softly:
"You can go back now. There's no need to stay and work overtime with me. It's useless. You can't draw until I finish the design. It's better to go back and have a good rest tonight. When you have enough energy, come to the company early to work overtime tomorrow."

"Okay, thank you Sister Xi, I'll go back first. See you tomorrow. Bye Sister Xi."

"OK Bye Bye."

After taking a look at Chen Xi who was drawing seriously, Cao Lulu left the design department.

……

elevator.

Yuan Xudong was waiting for the elevator when Cao Lulu came over. After the elevator door opened, he and Cao Lulu walked into the elevator together. Yuan Xudong pressed the button for the first floor, the elevator door closed, and the elevator began to descend floor by floor. In silence, Yuan Xudong spoke first:

"are you OK?"

When Yuan Xudong asked this, Cao Lulu burst into tears. She threw herself into Yuan Xudong's arms and cried:

"No, I'm not okay at all, wuwuwu~~"

"Lulu, don't cry."

Yuan Xudong tried to coax Cao Lulu, but Cao Lulu just hugged him and cried. Soon, the elevator landed on the first floor, and with a ding, the elevator door opened. Outside the elevator, Ye Lan, who had returned to the company to get something, saw Yuan Xudong and Cao Lulu hugging each other. She couldn't help but slightly widen her eyes and stammered in shock:
"You, you guys, Lulu you..."

"Director Ye?"

When he saw Ye Lan, Yuan Xudong was not too panicked, just like the internet celebrity Brother Sicong, what was the big deal?

Unlike Yuan Xudong, Cao Lulu left his arms like a frightened little elk. Looking at Ye Lan, her face turned pale and she stammered in panic:

"Sister Lan, I, I..."

"Okay, why are you panicking?"

Yuan Xudong put his arm around Cao Lulu's waist and walked out of the elevator. He looked at Ye Lan, whose expression was a little unnatural, and smiled:
"Director Ye, do you have time to have dinner together?"

"I……"

Ye Lan was about to refuse, but Yuan Xudong smiled and said:

"Chen Xi is going to resign from Yingjia, and I plan to help her start a business and open a decoration company. Director Ye, are you interested in joining us?"

"I……"

Looking at Yuan Xudong, Ye Lan's expression changed. At this time, Yuan Xudong said again:

"In Yingzhe, there are Cai Yunfeng and his uncle Mr. Hu who are putting pressure on you. Director Ye, I guess your situation is also very difficult, right?"

Looking at Ye Lan, Yuan Xudong smiled and said:
"Want to hear my advice?"

"Okay, then I'll listen to your opinion, Mr. Yuan."

Ye Lan smiled slightly, and she even emphasized the pronunciation of the two words "high view" on purpose. It was obvious that she didn't care too much about what Yuan Xudong said. She now placed all her hopes on Jing Yuheng, the young master of the Winner. As long as Jing Yuheng could control the power of the Winner in the future, her status would naturally rise further, such as becoming the general manager of the Winner?
If Yuan Xudong knew what Ye Lan was thinking, he would definitely say, your vision is too small, your vision is too small, what’s the point of being the general manager of a winner, as long as you listen to him obediently, you can be the mistress of a winner, what future is there in working for someone else?
