Chapter 46: Someone’s got Gu Xiao Xiao’s Back? (1)
“Grandma, let’s not talk about those two people anymore.” Gu Xiao Xiao’s eyes dropped, and her voice lowered by a few folds.
Shen Qian Yun could see how sad she was. Gu Xiao Xiao doesn’t like Jin Jing and Shen Qian Yun, who has only met Jin Jing once, doesn’t have a great impression of her either.
“Grandma, I have to go back to work tomorrow. If you are bored at home, you can watch TV or use the computer. There is a supermarket right downstairs. If you have anything you need, you can go there. I also have a tutoring session tomorrow night so I cannot come home for dinner. I am not too sure if Xiao Xi will come back tomorrow night or not, we can ask her later.”
“When will you come back tomorrow night? Do you need to get picked up?”
“There is no need. The tutoring place is very close to here and it is very safe.” Gu Xiao Xiao nodded continuously, “It’s in the community right in front of this one. I teach the son of my previous boss. He is in the third year of high school and is taking the university entrance exam soon.”
After chatting with Shen Qian Yun for a long while, the two prepared to go upstairs to rest. Chu Xiao Xi was still at war downstairs.
The creator of the print still could not be reached. If they cannot find him, then the clothes they produced cannot be sold. In other words, the entire series will need to be adjusted and Chu Xiao Xi very well knew how big of a project that would be.
At three in the morning, Chu Xiao Xi had sprawled herself onto her desk emotionlessly. She played with her phone and made a call to her assistant.
“Boss.” The call was quickly answered and the voice from the other end was full of desperation.
“I don’t care what you do, you have to find that person within two days. Or else, tell everyone in the studio to pack their bags and get out!” Chu Xiao Xi warned with much hatred, then hung up her phone. She then continued to sprawl onto her desk like a zombie.
When Gu Xiao Xiao woke up the next morning, she found Chu Xiao Xi sleeping on her desk in her study room. Her hand clenched onto the same drawing that was driving her crazy.
“How is this girl so busy.” Shen Qian Yun followed Gu Xiao Xiao in and shook her head at the deep asleep Chu Xiao Xi. She then looked over to Chu Xiao Xi’s desk and saw the print she was holding tightly onto.
Gu Xiao Xiao gently placed a blanket on Chu Xiao Xi and left the study with Shen Qian Yun. Then she whispered, “She’s like this several months a year. It will pass. Grandma, I am going to work first. When she wakes up, make her some food.”
“Alright, alright, go on.”
Gu Xiao Xiao left. After taking a deep breath in, she headed for the Feng Yang building.
She hasn’t been at work for half a month and her desk had collected dust.
“Ah, Xiao Xiao, you came to work? I heard you got sick. How are you? Are you good now?”
Colleagues showed up one after another. They were all a little surprised to see Gu Xiao Xiao.
“It’s not a big deal. Thanks, Ya Li, for asking.”
Zhang Ya Li is the senior responsible for training Gu Xiao Xiao. She was 34 and she had a cute little loli at home. Gu Xiao Xiao has seen pictures of her and found her extremely cute.
Zhang Ya Li was a very nice person. However sometimes, she would have a sharp tongue despite her tofu soft heart. With work especially, she was very strict.
Gu Xiao Xiao was very hard working but even so, her first few days at Feng Yang were tough for her. She was getting used to it now and has done a lot since then. Zhang Ya Li had stopped really giving her instructions.
“That’s good. You young girls never know to treasure your body. When you are older, you’ll regret it.”
As Zhang Ya Li spoke, she threw two folders onto Gu Xiao Xiao’s desk.
“Look over these. When the department head is done his meeting, he’ll assign tasks to you.”
