i prefer you

Chapter 1

On a beautiful Thursday night, Xuan Yingai happily enjoyed this rare leisure in her small suite with one bedroom and one living room.The elegant jazz fluttered in the air, which relieved her tiredness after a busy day.

Walking into the bathroom, she washed off the mask on her face, and glanced at the label on the mask shell.

"It will expire in three months, so much?" What a waste!

But this is really not what she wants, especially these days, because she has just taken over the job of the acting supervisor of the publicity group, which makes her use one person as two people, and rarely enters the house before ten o'clock.As for the time-consuming thing like applying a mask, it was naturally discarded.

Before she could take a photo of the lotion, the phone on the table rang, and she glanced at it, "Who is it?" She had no intention of picking it up.

However, it was clear that the caller was going to try to make contact with her, and the ringing kept ringing; it was redialed before going to voicemail, so she had to pick it up.

"Can't you answer the phone sooner? Did you fall into the Pacific Ocean?!" The man's roar almost made a bigger hole in her ear.

"I..." This guy is... who is it?
Her words were still on her lips, and the other party had already started talking. "I don't have time to talk to you. Come and find me with your wallet. I'm at the PUB in the alley opposite Yuanqi on Dunhua South Road. You know...the one with Mediterranean flavors. My wallet and mobile phone are both I lost it, so I'm here..."

Wallet and cell phone?This man is really confused!

But his voice is really nice, and the mellow feeling is like the jazz floating in the room, which is intoxicating.

"It's that blue shop?" She knew that shop was not far from here, just across a few alleys, and there seemed to be a frown over there, which she could imagine on the other end of the phone. "what are you?"

thing? !
"Sir—" she said patiently. "I didn't scold you for calling the wrong number, but you are still so rude to ask me what it is?"

"Wrong number? Shit!" He cursed in a low voice, the frustration in his words was quite obvious, but the anger came straight from the other end of the phone. "Why did you answer the wrong call?"

"Why should I still answer the wrong number..." How would I know you made the wrong number if I didn't answer it!When she was about to protest loudly to the other party, the impatient person on the other end started to read again.

"Do you know that I managed to dig five dollars out of my pocket to make this call, and now I'm fine, I have nothing, and I'm completely here!" His resentful tone seemed to be that she was the culprit.

"Did you make a mistake?" Forget it!Five dollars should be almost finished, this guy is about to become a laughing stock!Ha ha!I don't know what the boss will do if I can't pay for the meal and drink!
However, before she had time to laugh at him, the phone disconnected after two beeps.

"Ah!" Broken?She stared at the phone for two seconds.

Putting down the phone, Xuan Ying'ai started to finish the maintenance work on her face, but she couldn't feel at ease in her heart.

What will happen to that person?
It sounded full of frustration, perhaps this was a rare predicament for him.If it were me, I would be so embarrassed that I hope this matter can be resolved quickly, right?

"Strange, I didn't receive a call for help from Yijiu, why are you so guilty?"

Still chanting like this, when she woke up, Xuan Ying'ai was already standing at the door of that store.

She was never a nosy person.But she is a soft-hearted person.Pushing open the door of the store, elegant music was playing, and the entire Mediterranean-based layout made her feel very comfortable.

There were not many people in the store, so she looked around, and then saw the target she was looking for in front of the public phone.

Is it him?That daredevil!

Just a poor daredevil.

He is tall and tall, and the suit on his body is elegant and quite textured. He looks a little impatient, but it is still difficult to conceal the elegance of his gestures.At this moment, he was unconsciously tapping the table in front of the payphone with his knuckles.

Those hands are really elegant and charming, like a pair of hands playing a piano.

These few seconds of observation are enough for her to understand that this man with such an elegant appearance is probably encountering a rare situation in this life!

"You...can't find the money to make a call? Shall I borrow it from you?"

Xuan Ying'ai was standing one step away from the other party.Looking at those slightly depressed eyes looking up at her, he was surprised at first, and then a little puzzled.

"Perhaps..." It was rare to see Long Yu Shoal; a smile escaped her lips. "Because 'I caused you' wasted the last five dollars, so now it's time to make up for my 'missing'."

He raised his bushy eyebrows, and immediately caught the meaning of her words, and then a little embarrassed expression showed that he had understood.

Suppressing the smile on her lips, her intuition told her that if she was too complacent, this man might refuse to accept the five yuan she sent for the sake of face.

"Wow! I owe you, now I owe you nothing." She sent five yuan over.

He looked at the five bucks like it was a monster.

but.She was not the kind of person who would wait for someone to refuse, put five dollars on the small table next to him, and then said, "It's none of my business now, I'm leaving."

Every step of her leaving footsteps was deeply on her heart, and she felt that pair of depressed eyes were staring at her all the way, but she held her head high, even in casual clothes, she still looked like a princess walked out.

It was a laid-back evening with unexpected twists.Make life more exciting!

＋＋ten

However, the excitement in Xuan Ying'ai's life is more than that.

The next morning, she was extremely busy as soon as she entered the company.Recently, since she just took over as the supervisor of the publicity team, everything can only be described as busy to the highest point.

In fact, the "Video Technology Company" she belongs to mainly integrates resources from all parties and does work similar to a business population station, so the marketing department is very important in the company.The marketing department is also divided into three major sections, one is of course about marketing, the other is planning, and she is currently in charge, and the other is the public relations group, which she will also be in charge of for the time being.

That's why she has the urge to hit the wall, because the meeting line alone is as high as a mountain.How can I have time to make a project? !

"Yingai, come here, I'll talk to you." Shao Zhongxin knocked on her desktop and said.

Xuan Yingai looked up at him.Shao Zhongxin is her supervisor, and she is usually on important matters. "Wait for me." She tidied up a pile of proposals on the table, her mind was still revolving around the content of the proposal just now.

"I'll wait for you in the small conference room." He said and left her table.

She didn't even lift her head, and hurriedly made the finishing moves.

Five minutes later, she entered the small conference room with a notepad and PDA.

"What's the matter?" I really hope he can hurry up, she still has a meeting later!She pulled a chair and sat down, her movements were still neat.

Shao Zhongxin looked at her intently with admiring eyes, this woman was so serious in everything she did, and he never wanted to hide his affection.

Of course, Xuan Ying'ai is not unconscious, but she chooses to play dumb. Although this man is a considerate and good boss and good friend, it is nothing more than that.

Women are intuitive about feelings.

"About the 'Guanyu Technology' case, you know that there will be a meeting this afternoon. The higher-ups attach great importance to this company's cooperation case, so we will focus on developing this case." Shao Zhongxin knew that she had no patience to listen to his nonsense, So get straight to the point.

"I know, I will attend the meeting on time in the afternoon, and I have written the plan." It seems that she only has one day of leisure, and she really picked it up yesterday!
"You recently took over the work of the PR team. I see that you are so busy. Do you want me to help you..." You have worked so hard, I am not willing to bear it!
There are some words that he can't say out loud. He is not the first person to know Xuan Ying'ai, so he doesn't have the courage to let these words come to the surface.

"It's okay, but I need some time to sort out the work assignments of this group." She didn't respond much to his hesitant appearance, probably because she was used to it. But you have to take care of the work meetings of the entire marketing department, you are mine Boss!Last time, didn't you say that you should invite people from the PR group to discuss the future direction together? "

The quality of the people in the public relations and publicity team is actually different. I'm afraid it's not easy to lead these people. She was already mentally prepared.Although Shao Zhongxin was a bit indecisive in doing things, and could even be said to be a woman, she hoped that he could help deal with those women soldiers first.

"Yeah! I'll talk to them later..."

"Then I'll go out first, I haven't finished writing Guan Yu's project proposal yet." She hastily left.

Soon, she returned to her seat, but there were a few people crowded around her seat, and it seemed that something happened.

"What's wrong?" Xuan Yingai asked directly.I don't know what happened to Minmin?

Minmin is a member of the public relations team. According to the experience of several times of contact with her, this little girl who just graduated is a little emotional, and I can't find time to talk to her in detail.

"Something..." The two people surrounding Minmin were also from the PR team, and they looked at Xuan Ying'ai with embarrassing expressions.

Xuan Yingai immediately realized that she might be the person involved, but how could she offend this little girl?
"Tell me and listen." Alas!Looking at Minmin with red eyes, she secretly sighed, as a supervisor had to deal with this kind of thing.

"Do you really want to listen?" Minmin raised her tear-wet eyes and asked resentfully.

Xuan Yingai's body trembled, trouble is coming!

"Come on, don't you really want to talk?" Now it's not that I don't want to listen, so I don't have to listen!She was a little helpless.

"You have gone too far!" Minmin's tears rolled down again, with a victim look on her face. "Do you think you're great just because you're a supervisor? We're human too, and we need to be respected!"

"Can you tell me what happened?" When did you step on your tail?She wanted to scream, she was the one to cry, she had a mountain job and had to spend time dealing with little girl emotions.

"You deliberately excluded us. We are also a member of the public relations team. Zhong Xin clearly agreed to talk to all of us. Why did you go to him first? Don't think that you are the supervisor..."

"Wait! What are you talking about? You think I just went to find Shao Zhongxin..." Oh my god!Which of your eyes saw that I was looking for him? "I think you misunderstood, he was looking for me..."

"Don't shirk your responsibility anymore, Zhong Xin is not that kind of person..." You are that kind of person!Minmin cried and complained.

Xuan Ying'ai's face became quite ugly, she never thought that in Minmin's heart she was the kind of person who was eager for quick success!Her heart turned cold, and her anger gradually rose.

"I can tell you the truth, but obviously you don't want to hear it." Xuan Yingai looked at Minmin calmly, no matter how angry she was, she would not want to lose control and lose her temper.

"you……"

"Okay!" The hero of the story, Shao Zhongxin, finally appeared and spoke. "Let me talk to her." He said to Xuan Ying'ai.

Xuan Ying'ai wanted to say something, but immediately spread her hands.

Sitting back in her seat, she took a deep breath and started to work, but at the same time, she knew clearly that not far behind her, Shao Zhongxin was gently persuading Minmin.

I can't stand it!Can't Shao Zhongxin see that Minmin loses his temper with her simply because he loves him?Now he went to persuade her gently, but he couldn't help her at all.

However, these things are no longer what she should worry about now. Anyway, it is not the first time she has been misunderstood. Let's do things first. Doing things is much easier than being a human being.

"Mr. Driver, can I trouble you to drive faster!" Oh my God!Xuan Yingai really wanted to scream.Why is everything going wrong today?
"Yingai, don't worry, it's just a little late." Colleague Xiaowen comforted her.

Xuan Ying caressed his forehead with a troubled look on his face.Being late is a rare thing for her!When discussing cooperation cases with customers, everyone's time is precious. Although such cases of being late are not unique, they are also rare.

"Today, the people at 'Guan Yu' will put forward preliminary ideas, and the supervisors above may participate in the meeting. I don't want to affect the other party's impression, after all, our company needs the technology and design of 'Guan Yu Technology' very much. "

"Guanyu Technology" is mainly a subsidiary of "Guanyu Communication". Although they mainly focus on technology products, they are well-known for their ability in design. She has long planned to cooperate with them.

"That's right. Guan Yu's work is very focused on both page design and advertising design. I heard that the director of 'Guan Yu' is a well-known talent in the industry."

She is no stranger to the name Xia Xuyong, he even won several international design competitions for "Guan Yu Technology", of course Ying Ai knows this well.

"I don't know if Director Xia will be present today?" I don't know if it is round or flat?But people who are engaged in design... don't expect too much!

"I want to see him too. I heard that he is the Prince Charming of 'Guan Yu'. Most of the unmarried women in 'Guan Yu' like him!" Gossip is Xiaowen's life. Clearest.

"Yes." I have been in this industry for a long time, and I know that the standard should be revised downwards.Ying'ai thought with a bit of bad intentions, and spoke in a boring manner.

"But I heard he's cool!" Who doesn't love cool guys?

cool?Words such as "difficult to communicate" and "unreasonable" floated before Ying'ai's eyes.Alas, Xu Xu is really not a normal woman, she has very few fantasies about men.

During the chat, the car had already arrived at the downstairs of 'Guanyu Technology'. After paying the fare, the two women hurried to the new building in Xinyi District.Thanks to the fast elevator, the two soon came to "Guanyu Technology".

However, as soon as she entered the conference room, Xuan Ying'ai immediately felt that the air in the room was stagnant.

"I'm sorry, I'm late because the company's affairs were not handled properly, and I'm sorry for delaying everyone's time." Yingai immediately apologized.

Several people here have been in contact with before, mainly people from the design department of "Guanzi Technology", but there is a guy who appears in this conference room for the first time.

It's him!

The man who lost his temper with her for five dollars!
If the atmosphere at the scene was not too weird, she would definitely laugh.Thinking of his helpless but trying to save face that day.She was really impressed.

"Did you make an appointment for the meeting?" Sitting at the head of the table in the conference room, the one who had never stood up to greet them since they entered the door, but with a cool face was the Mr. "Five Dollars".

drink!Dare to find fault?
"That's right, I made an appointment." But it's not an appointment with you, there's no need to use your nostrils to someone!
"I couldn't arrive on time at the time I agreed on. May I ask if all the people in 'Yingyuan Technology' do things like this?" The cold words swept across, his face turned sideways, and his eyes squinted at her.

It was this look that offended Xuan Yingai!

Sure enough, "cool"!He really is an unreasonable guy!

"It was my fault for being late, and I apologize again. Can we start the meeting now? Or is today's topic about being late?" Her eyes met his, not seeing his bad face in the slightest.

Their eyes meet in the air for five seconds, and then the cool guy finally decides that enough time has been wasted, and he nods to the director of the design department of "Guan Yu", and Director Li immediately begins to chair the meeting.

The originally stalemate finally relaxed a bit, the meeting went smoothly, and the two sides began to have some discussions on Guan Yu's preliminary design drawings.Everything went smoothly until we started discussing the work schedule of the entire cooperation project.

"Yingai!" Xiaowen pushed her beside her. "I forgot to photocopy the schedule and brought the wrong copy, a draft."

"What?" How could this be?Xiaowen has never been a careless person!Xuan Yingai quickly calmed down her panic. "I'll handle it."

"Is there any problem?" Director Li asked.

The pause here already made everyone feel that something was wrong. When Xuan Ying'ai raised her head in a panic, she saw a pair of stern eyes on the other side of the conference table.

She felt like a thorn in her back.

"We need a little time to sort out the materials. Can we take a break and discuss this part later?" In this way, she can call up the files in her computer and borrow the printer from Director Li to print them. There is no need to discuss it in drafts.

"Yes! Then everyone can rest for 10 minutes." Director Li is a talkative person.

"10 minutes, everyone is still busy, come back in 10 minutes." The cool man at the other end of the conference table spoke again, and sure enough, nothing good happened when he spoke!
Although Ying Ai felt that the dark clouds were looming over her head, she wished to tear off that man's cool face, but she was very sensible, after all, they were the ones who made mistakes first.

Soon, the rest time passed. Of course, she and Xiaowen were not idle at all. Fortunately, the two had always cooperated with each other very well, and they successfully completed the task within 10 minutes.

When the meeting started again, everyone got a "hot" work schedule plan in their hands.

"Okay, now everyone has a document in hand, now please first..."

"Wait—" the "Mr. Five Dollars" at the head of the conference table interrupted Ying Ai. "Before I start, I would like to confirm with the two ladies. Can the working attitude of the two parties be revised in the future?"

what!Sure enough, I can't hide it from him!

"I'm sorry, it was my fault today, I brought the wrong information..." How could it be messed up? !This cooperation case is very important to the company!Xiaowen apologized with a guilty conscience.

But the straightforward Ying Ai couldn't stand it anymore.

"Mister, I still don't know what your last name is or how you call yourself." I only know that you are Mr. Five Dollars!Ying Ai stood up, with anger in her eyes.

Unexpectedly, the other party raised his thick eyebrows, and looked at her expression as if saying - that's because she is an idiot!
"Miss Xuan, I forgot to introduce. This is Mr. Xia Xu, our creative director." Afraid that the scene would freeze again, Director Li hurriedly smoothed things over, only to beg the two people to let him go.

Xia Xuyong? !

He is Xia Xuyong!

"Director Xia, it's better to see once than hear a hundred times." Ying Ai sneered. "Before I came, I heard that you were a cool person..." Her words intentionally smacked

Xiaowen's gasping sound was too obvious, causing her to stare.

Immediately, her eyes returned to his still cold face, and she said: "Now I know that he is kind, and your behavior should be interpreted as harsh."

Xia Xuyong narrowed his cold eyes. "What do you want to say, I don't have time to waste with you."

"What I want to say is, is it necessary for you to hold meetings with this mentality of finding fault? Before, Director Li handled everything very well. This meeting is just to discuss preliminary ideas, and there is no need to trouble your director. My lord's..."

Xiaowen was not the only one who gasped this time, everyone was involved!

"Are you saying that I don't need to participate in the meeting?" He spoke in a calm manner, but he put inexplicable pressure on people.

"I mean, if you don't want to and don't have time, you don't have to." If you can shrink back, it's not called Xuan Ying'ai. "That's right, we made mistakes first, we did not prepare enough for today's meeting, but is it necessary for you to hold on to these details? Can't you see that it's not just the two of us who feel uncomfortable? "

"Really?" He replied coolly, but there was a hint of interest in his eyes, but it was only fleeting, and it was difficult to be found. "It seems that you want to publish a high-level statement. If I suppress you again, I may be described as a tyrant."

Did she read wrong? !
The corners of his mouth really curled up?

Is he laughing?
"I... I just don't want people to be uncomfortable, I hope I didn't offend you." Coward!Xuan Ying'ai, you are really a coward!She couldn't help scolding herself.

"So can we start talking? Or are you still insisting that I don't need to be in the meeting?" he asked.

Xuan Yingai spread her hands. "Of course you have the freedom to participate in the meeting. I made a slip of the tongue before." She was a little embarrassed, but it was not her style to refuse to admit her mistakes.

This move earned him an appreciative glance.However, because she was too focused on her own embarrassment, she didn't notice the strangeness in his eyes at all.
