Chapter 863: Chapter 0863: Further Contact

If it had been another driver, Wei Guomin would have surely cursed them out. However, upon realizing it was Xingyue Group’s effeminate Liu Xueying—acting more like a woman—he didn’t feel the need to scold him.

"Director Liu, are you rushing to work?"

Considering it was already past nine in the morning, Liu Xueying was undoubtedly late according to regular office hours.

"Yes, and no."

Liu Xueying replied helplessly.

As the traffic light was about to turn green and there were other vehicles waiting to pass, the two decided to pull their cars over to the side to resolve things privately, avoiding inconveniencing others.

Once they had parked by the roadside, Liu Xueying and Wei Guomin each stepped out of their cars, followed by Wang Na.

"Director Liu, if you’re free, would you like to grab some tea with me?"

"Perfect! I don’t have anything to do right now anyway."

Liu Xueying held out his orchid-shaped fingers, speaking in a soft, effeminate tone.

Seeing his mannerisms, Wang Na felt a bit disgusted.

Having studied abroad for so many years, she had encountered all sorts of eccentric people—especially in the United States, where long-haired men wearing dresses weren’t uncommon. The level of acceptance there was high, as long as it didn’t interfere with others’ lives or work, it typically wasn’t a big deal.

But now, seeing Liu Xueying’s painted red nails, rosy blush on his face, a floral-patterned handbag, and his dainty, effeminate demeanor, Wang Na couldn’t help but find that apart from his physical appearance, he was indistinguishable from a woman in every other way.

As Wei Guomin drove to a nearby teahouse, Liu Xueying, sitting in his own car, quickly sent a text to Ye Qiu before immediately deleting it.

He then followed Wei Guomin’s car to the teahouse.

The teahouse wasn’t too far from either the Xingyue Group or the Qingcheng Group. It was a common spot for high-level white-collar workers to gather during their free time for tea—whether for morning or afternoon sessions.

After they each found parking, Wei Guomin and Wang Na got out of their car. Liu Xueying, still fidgeting, took his handbag and stepped out as well, following them up to the third floor of the teahouse.

When they reached the third floor, a waitress in uniform approached and asked, "Hello, how many in your party?"

"I had originally reserved a table for two. We’ll just add one more!"

Wang Na answered.

Before coming here, she had already called ahead to make a reservation, just in case the place was too crowded.

The waitress confirmed Wang Na’s table number and led the trio to a window seat. She then went to fetch additional dishes and utensils for the extra person.

However, as soon as Wei Guomin and Wang Na sat down, Liu Xueying pulled out a tissue from his handbag and obsessively wiped down his chair several times before he dared to sit. He then proceeded to wipe down the table in front of him.

Seeing Liu Xueying’s behavior, both Wei Guomin and Wang Na couldn’t help but stifle their laughter. They found him genuinely amusing—so much so that even most women they knew didn’t seem to have such an extreme cleanliness obsession.

Of course, dealing with someone like him might truly be a bit challenging.

"Boss Wei, I’ll file an insurance claim and fully compensate you for the damage to your car!"

Liu Xueying said.

"It’s fine—whether you compensate or not, it’s just a matter of ten or twenty thousand yuan."

That kind of money didn’t mean much to Wei Guomin.

What was really stressing him out were matters relating to Qingcheng Group—sales, clothing design drafts, bank loans—nothing was going smoothly. Everything was troublesome right now.

As such, he couldn’t help but envy Shen Yueru. She’d somehow hit the jackpot by landing someone as talented as Ye Qiu.

"Do you know what kind of relationship Ye Qiu has with your President Shen?"

"What kind of relationship? Just the usual between a man and a woman. What else could it be?"

Liu Xueying answered.

The usual between a man and a woman? As soon as Liu Xueying said it, both Wei Guomin and Wang Na understood. They also quickly realized why Ye Qiu wasn’t interested in designing autumn lingerie drafts for Qingcheng Group.

"So, how deep is their relationship?"

"They’ve kissed; as for whether they’ve booked a room together, I don’t know."

Liu Xueying replied.

This revelation left both of them even more surprised.

"So, are your own days at work pretty carefree right now?"

Wei Guomin asked.

Considering how well Xingyue Group was performing in sales, as the Design Department Director, Liu Xueying’s life should presumably be going smoothly!

On top of that, with a top-notch designer like Ye Qiu on board, Liu Xueying and his team should have no trouble at all in the design department.

"Carefree? Not at all! That woman Shen Yueru has no room for me. I might have to start looking for a new job soon."

"What? Why?"

Both Wei Guomin and Wang Na found it hard to believe.

"Of course it’s true. Yesterday, Ye Qiu even agreed to promote me, saying I could study abroad in Europe for three years. But Xingyue Group’s Finance and HR Departments weren’t willing to spend that kind of money, and later Ye Qiu went back on his word too. It ended up causing a big fight between Shen Yueru and me!"

"Really? Something like that actually happened?"

Though skeptical, Wei Guomin found it plausible. With someone as skilled as Ye Qiu at Xingyue Group, it was likely that other designers no longer commanded much of Shen Yueru’s attention.

Thus, if Liu Xueying were to leave, so be it—how could anyone stop him? As for Xingyue Group funding a three-year European study program, well, it was rare for companies to be so generous with their budget.

Just as he was about to comment further, the waitress came over with the menu so the three of them could order. Wang Na ordered first for herself and Wei Guomin, then handed the menu to Liu Xueying. Looking at it, Liu Xueying said, "A bowl of congee is enough for me. The other dishes are too greasy—I have no appetite."

He then ordered two or three items before handing the menu back to Wang Na. She confirmed the order and passed it to the waitress.

"May I ask what kind of tea you’d like?"

"I’ll take a pot of Tieguanyin!"

Wei Guomin answered.

"I’ll have a pot of floral tea!"

Liu Xueying chimed in.

The waitress noted down their order and left with the menu.

With curiosity, Wei Guomin asked, "Director Liu, did you honestly think Xingyue Group would send you to study abroad for three years?"

"It was Ye Qiu who said it! I thought he represented Xingyue Group. I didn’t expect it to be all talk! And it caused a huge fight between me and Shen Yueru. Now she even suspects that I’m in cahoots with Li Yingjun!"

Perhaps remembering the history between Li Yingjun and Wei Guomin, Liu Xueying stopped talking after mentioning that name.

Of course, Wei Guomin was well aware of who Li Yingjun was, having collaborated with him a few times. The last time ended disastrously, even causing trouble for Qingcheng Group.

"Director Liu, there’s no one else here. Feel free to speak your mind."

"She called me a spy."

Liu Xueying said sadly.

Wei Guomin and Wang Na exchanged glances, and it seemed they both understood the situation a little better.

"To be honest, those lingerie design drafts from before were indeed traced and sold to our company by Li Yingjun. But Xingyue Group couldn’t do anything about it since we registered the designs with the patent office first, receiving legal protection from the state."
