    The Design Director I Can’t Fall In Love with (Twenty-Eight)

    Halfway through the regular meeting, the manager of the sales department was wiping the sweat from his forehead while making a report, and carefully looked at the silent man above him, who was lightly tapping the table with his eyes closed, for fear that he would be in trouble if he said something wrong.

    When it was finally about to end, the man above suddenly opened his eyes, and his gaze was as cold and sharp as a ferocious wolf in the jungle, making people frightened. After scanning for a week, Ye Ziyan stood up and left.

    But the manager who was reporting on the work was scared to death, thinking that his report had angered Ye Ziyan. In the end, the secretary-general Ye Ziyan brought with him repeatedly said that the boss had other important matters to deal with, so he left midway.

    However, after being treated like this by Ye Ziyan, the elderly manager in the conference room broke down and shouted that if he comes again a few times, he is afraid that the office will have quick-acting heart-saving pills.

    After the secretary-general explained, he handed over the recorded meeting situation to his second-in-command and caught up with Ye Ziyan.

    “Submit the invitation according to the list I gave you before. I don’t want anything to go wrong at the banquet tomorrow night.” Ye Ziyan ordered after feeling that the secretary-general who was chasing after him had arrived.

    “Okay.”

    Ye Ziyan stood behind the elevator door and looked at the mirror-like elevator door. Inside, he was dressed in straight clothes and had a cold expression, but there was a hint of depression in his eyes. “Everyone from Master Chu’s project team must be invited over… everyone!”

    When Ye Ziyan talked about everyone again, he spoke with an extra emphasis. The secretary-general lowered his head, his eyes moved slightly, and then nodded, “I will personally deliver Director Zhou’s invitation.”

    Ye Ziyan turned to look at the man behind him who bowed his head respectfully, pursed his lips, and looked indifferent. He was about to say something, but “Ding——!” sounded in his ears!’, as the elevator door opened, Ye Ziyan suddenly stopped talking about what he originally wanted to say, and walked straight in.

    The secretary-general followed him into the elevator and didn’t say anything until Ye Ziyan drove away.

    When Zhou Min came back from a day of sketching and discussing with Master Chu’s project team and composing the composition, it was already nine o’clock in the evening. She was still a little surprised when she saw the secretary-general who had been standing downstairs in her apartment and was dedicated to Ye Ziyan.

    The secretary-general turned around and saw Zhou Min, who was dressed in a coat, walking towards him. He went up to meet her and handed the invitation over with both hands. “Director Zhou, this is the invitation sent by BOSS. I invite you to attend tomorrow night.”

    Zhou Min took the invitation and said, “Actually, you don’t have to come in person. My father has already received this invitation. I will go with my father tomorrow night.”

    After all, the client was like this in her previous life. She did not receive Ye Ziyan’s invitation, but attended the dinner with her father.

    “Boss said that Director Zhou deserves the greatest credit for being able to invite Master Chu. The Zhou family’s invitation belongs to the Zhou family, but yours must be sent again.”

    Zhou Min couldn’t help but smile when he heard the explanation, “I understand. Thank you for waiting for me for so long. I will be there on time with my father tomorrow night.”

    The secretary-general nodded and left.

    「叮叮噹當……」當周敏拿著請柬剛剛進入房間的時候,手機便已經響了起來,從包裡拿出手機,看著上面楚桀的名字,周敏的眉頭微微一皺,但還是接了起來。

    “Master Chu.”

    “You call me Brother Chu Jie in front of my father. Why, when you are alone, you become Young Master Chu again? Isn’t the difference in treatment too obvious?” Chu Jie stood in the study room without turning on the lights, his handsome face hidden in the moonlight, playing with the black gilded invitation card in his hand with one hand.

    “Brother Chu, what’s the matter so late?” Zhou Min took off his cashmere coat while making a phone call. After turning on the bright living room lights, he sat on the sofa tiredly.

    “Have you received Ye Ziyan’s invitation?”

    “Already received.”

    “I want to ask you to be my female companion tomorrow, what do you think?” Chu Jie walked from the window to the desk and sat down. He threw the invitation on the table casually, raised his legs comfortably, leaned back, and crossed his legs on the desk.

    “Sorry, I already have arrangements for tomorrow.” Zhou Min said.

    “Zhou Min, actually, you don’t have to reject me so much. I just want to get to know you better.” Chu Jie’s expression was hidden in the darkness, and his emotions could not be seen, but the helplessness in his tone could still tell that the person involved was in a bad mood.

    “I welcome understanding among friends, but there is no need to go beyond the definition of friends…Chu Jie, if you know the outcome of some things and know that you cannot get or give them, don’t let yourself get in easily. Otherwise, it will only bring trouble to both parties.” After Zhou Min’s contact during this period, she is not a person with zero emotional intelligence. How could she not feel Chu Jie’s goodwill?

    It just felt like it, and Master Chu didn’t know if it was intentional or not, but he always arranged the two of them into a group. During this period of contact, it could be said that they were inseparable. Therefore, Chu Jie’s kindness to her and the way he looked at her were different every day, which made her feel bad.

    That is, in every world, the male protagonist always looks at her with pampering and tenderness after being with her, which makes her deliberately keep a distance. Except for contact outside of work, she starts to avoid him at other times.

    She didn’t understand how Chu Jie’s feelings for her could change so quickly before a week had passed.

    Some are so fast that people are caught off guard, some come out of nowhere, and some are too natural.

    “Zhou Min, the biggest miracle in life is that you never know what will happen tomorrow or in the next second. How do you know that you can’t give me what I want? Maybe what I want is very simple, and you just have it? Everything is just unknown. We can wait and see…”

    Chu Jie didn’t feel that Zhou Min’s tactful rejection would cause any bad things to him. He had always insisted on getting what he wanted with his own hands. He had set his sights on the goal. As long as it was what he wanted, it didn’t matter what the process was, as long as the result was achieved.

    This was taught to him by his mother since he was a child, and this principle has accompanied him throughout his thirty years of life!Moreover, he has never failed in what he wants. Although there are twists and turns in the process, the good news is that the results are all within his control.

    Zhou Min couldn’t help but feel a little uneasy when she listened to Chu Jie’s words, but she didn’t say anything to him. Sometimes, she felt that Chu Jie and Ye Ziyan were similar in some personalities. They were both unwilling to give up until they achieved their goals and only believed in themselves.

    This topic broke up unhappily again. After Zhou Min hung up the phone, he took a shower and lay on the bed, thinking that he had deliberately not brushed his face in front of Ye Ziyan during this period, but every night, the fragmented memories of Ye Ziyan for more than ten years were vaguely poured into Ye Ziyan’s mind. Coupled with the gun misfire that night, Zhou Min felt that the fire had been ignited.
