Li Xue smiled as she also went forward to put her signature in one of the files Su Fai kept in front of her. No doubt, she was happy. Anyone in her shoes would have been.
"And also, Li Xue! Since you are not new to this industry and well know of basic things, still I would repeat it for your convenience. No dating and boyfriend are allowed in this industry. It will only lead to the end of your career. And if you have already got one, you better not let it come out until you are ready to take the retirement from this industry!" Lin Xinyi said once she saw all the things getting completed.
Li Xue nodded in understanding.
Lin Xinyi also nodded to her with some thought as she added again, "Okay since you have already understood that. Manage for some days, I will apply for a private apartment for you. I am still new to this company and since the things here are all restructured, I would need some time to know the process here. But don't worry, they will have to give you a private apartment of your own. Right, CEO Su?"
"There will be no need!"
"It will not be needed, Sister Lin!"
Before the woman could even complete her word, both Su Fai and Li Xue interrupted one after the other. Xinyi's brows got raised at their responses as she darted her gaze between the two of them.
Su Fai could only rub the back of his neck. Of course, he knew that Li Xue could not move into any other apartment. She has got a daughter to take care of and leaving her daughter behind just to focus on her career would never become her priority.
"Sister Lin, sorry, I don't think I will be able to shift anywhere. I am doing good at my current residence and that place and people around there quite suits me. So, …" Li Xue explained in a quite composed tone but it did not satiate the growing curiosity of Lin Xinyi. Her eyes were continuously moving between the company's CEO and the young model.
Still, not yet giving in to her suspicion on their relationship, she asked, "Ohh, do you have your own apartment in the city? I mean the city is already quite pricey. Staying at a good place on your own is already quite a wealth. So …"
Li Xue never planned to lie to her manager or company in any way, so when heard Lin Xinyi asking her, she truthfully answered, "Nope, Sister Lin, I still have to get the apartment in the city. But my savings from my previous job is enough to make me survive in the city. You don't have to worry".
"Look, Li Xue, I would be straight for you to understand. At this point of time, your full concentration should be on your career. It's already not in a good form and you would have to put more and more extra effort into it. On such a stage, your relationship with any man, even an influential one, would only be a loophole that could drag your dreams to the grave. And helping someone's dream that is bound to come to death is not my interest. Hope you are wise enough to choose your choices and priorities wisely"
The manager said with all seriousness. Her eyes warned the man at the side while trying his best to make the young girl understand. If the situation was just a little different then she would not have any problem with her involvement in any love relationship but since Li Xue's past records were already a mess, she could only ask her to be a little mindful of everything.
Li Xue smiled in understanding. Of course, she knew the concern of Lin Xinyi all well. "Don't worry, Sister Lin, I will be careful in my actions and will never let my personal stuff affect my career".
Seeing the girl so confident in her thoughts, Lin Xinyi did not say anymore. She just gave an understanding nod to the girl and then turning to face Su Fai, she said, "CEO Su, I hope you would also remain careful. For now, I will take your leave. I still have to see many things in my office".
Hearing her words, Su Fai was a little confused but before he could ask anything, the woman was already on her way out from his cabin. But that was not before saying, "And Li Xue, once you are done discussing your things with CEO Su, please don't forget to come and see me in my office on the floor below this. I still have some things to discuss with you"
"Yes, Sister Lin! I will be there" Li Xue affirmed with a smile though her smile was not seen by the woman who was already on her way out.
Once Lin Xinyi left, Li Xue turned to look at Su Fai. Her expression was stern and solemn, no longer the same she was holding a few moments before.
The man almost gulped down in horror when felt her piercing glares at himself. "Haha … Li Xue, why are you giving me such a look? And that too this abruptly? Did I do something wrong? I don't remember if I have offended you in any way. If you felt like that just ignore me because my intention has never been that" He said, putting on a defence wall even before the attack had come.
But to all his defensive words, Li Xue just squinted her eyes at him as she took a challenging step towards him, "Su Fai, being a friend, you better not lie to me. I am not here to ask you about your annual income digits or account balance. So, it would only be better if you could be truthful". She said and the man could only stare dumbfoundedly at her.
"Li Xue, what are you up to? I am not understanding anything"
"Su Fai, how would you understand? I am yet to put forward the question", Li Xue said pursing her lips at first and then asking, "Tell me, is the big shot company backing Glamour World is Feng Internationals?"
Her words instantly brought a loud cough out from Su Fai as his eyes became all big and wide at the woman.
