"Chairman." Lin Chuze was truly at a loss for words. No matter what he said, Lin Xiaoxiao always said she believed in his abilities, which made him both grateful and helpless.
Lin Xiaoxiao smiled, but the smile didn't reach her eyes. "Do what you can with what you have. If they can be as outstanding as President Lin."
“I can also treat them differently, give them opportunities, and give them greater rights.”
"I see."
Lin Xiaoxiao has already said so much; if he still hesitates, it would be too pretentious.
Since Lin Xiaoxiao is willing to trust him, he should do his best to repay her trust.
"While I'm away, please take good care of things at the company. If there's anything I can help you with, feel free to contact me."
Lin Xiaoxiao stood up and stretched. "Do you have any other questions?"
"That's all." After a moment of silence, Lin Chuze spoke again, "Is the chairman leaving?"
"Yeah, is there a problem?" Lin Xiaoxiao tilted her head to look at him. "Any other problems?"
"...No." Lin Chuze had reason to suspect that Lin Xiaoxiao had defied public opinion to put herself in this position so that she could easily abandon the mess.
Lin Xiaoxiao reached out and patted Lin Chuci on the shoulder, "If anything happens, feel free to contact me. I'll leave things here to you."
Looking at Lin Xiaoxiao's back, Lin Chuze had a feeling that she was about to jump up.
At this moment, it was really hard for Lin Chuze to connect Lin Xiaoxiao with the person in the conference room earlier.
Stepping out of the company gate, Lin Xiaoxiao stretched her arms and yawned, taking a deep breath. Her smile was so bright it seemed to rival the sun in the sky.
She's finally free! This is what freedom feels like.
"I heard that you pushed all the work onto Lin Chuze to handle?"
A voice suddenly came from behind, startling Lin Xiaoxiao so much that she trembled.
"Sister Bingbing, don't you know that people can scare each other to death?"
"You really can't blame me. You didn't even hear my heavy footsteps. What were you thinking?" Bai Bing shrugged, indicating that she was innocent.
Lin Xiaoxiao stepped forward and hugged Bai Bing's arm. "I'm breathing the air of freedom."
Bai Bing rolled her eyes. "Are you really comfortable leaving everything to Lin Chuze?"
Although Lin Xiaoxiao had previously expressed her high regard and trust in Lin Chuze.
However, Bai Bing did not expect that Lin Xiaoxiao could trust Lin Chuze to this extent, and actually entrust power to someone who had just joined the company.
"Isn't it because I have you?" Lin Xiaoxiao shook Bai Bing's arm ingratiatingly. "It's precisely because of Sister Bingbing that I dared to do this."
Bai Bing pinched Lin Xiaoxiao's cheek. "I know my own limitations, so why do you really trust him so much?"
“Yes.” Lin Xiaoxiao nodded with a smile. “Just trust my judgment.”
Looking into the girl's bright eyes, Bai Bing chuckled, "If I didn't know that the person you like is Tang Xue, I would have started to suspect that you have other feelings for Lin Chuze."
Lin Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes. "Lin Chuze is a good person. I think Sister Bingbing could consider it."
"Tsk, you should probably figure out how to solve your own relationship problems."
Bai Bing poked Lin Xiaoxiao's forehead, "You can't wait to go back already."
Lin Xiaoxiao blushed slightly. "Well, since everything's settled now, I'd like to go back and discuss it with Xiaoxue to see if she'd be willing to move her things to my place."
Originally, Tang Xue only intended to stay with her for a few days before moving back.
But now the situation is different, and the relationship between the two of them has become increasingly close.
Now that they're sleeping in the same room and on the same bed, her chances of succeeding in asking Tang Xue to move in with her at this point are probably very high.
"Alright, I'm not going to interfere in your affairs anymore. You can handle it yourselves. Oh, and remember to talk to the security guard in the community these next couple of days."
The variety show I mentioned before should start filming in the next day or two.
Bai Bing came to see Lin Xiaoxiao not only because of Lin Chuze's matter, but also to talk to her about this.
"Okay," Lin Xiaoxiao replied, "Then I'm leaving."
"Let's go, let's go." Bai Bing waved her hand as if shooing away flies.
Lin Xiaoxiao didn't linger and strode away. Watching Lin Xiaoxiao's impatient back, Bai Bing was speechless.
"Xiaoxiao, why are you back?" Tang Xue put down her book and looked at Lin Xiaoxiao who had just walked in, somewhat surprised. "Isn't the company busy anymore?"
"Okay." Lin Xiaoxiao nodded. "I've arranged everything at the company. Xiaoxue, I have something I want to tell you." Lin Xiaoxiao rubbed her hands together, looking a little flustered.
Tang Xue gave the other person a strange look. "We're so familiar with each other, just say what you want to say."
Lin Xiaoxiao sat down next to Tang Xue, straightened her back, and nervously curled her hands on her knees.
"I just wanted to ask you if you wanted to cancel your previous rental and move in with me."
Lin Xiaoxiao's words startled Tang Xue, and her hand on the sofa unconsciously clenched into a fist.
When Lin Xiaoxiao asked her to move in, Tang Xue never imagined that after moving in, she would never have the thought of moving back again.
"I just feel a bit lonely living alone in such a big house."
Besides, I've gotten used to your presence during your stay here. Of course, it's okay if you don't want to.
Seeing that Tang Xue remained silent, the light in Lin Xiaoxiao's eyes gradually dimmed, and she gripped her pants tightly with her hands on her knees.
But before her sadness could fully set in, she heard a gentle voice softly say, "Okay."
Lin Xiaoxiao turned to look at her, her pupils dilating. "What did you say?"
"I said okay." Tang Xue smiled, her eyes softened, and her voice gentle. "Aren't you afraid I'll become attached to you?"
"I'm not afraid." Lin Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up, her joy layered like dazzling fireworks in the night sky, brilliant and captivating. "In fact, I couldn't be happier."
Of course, Lin Xiaoxiao didn't say the last sentence aloud.
Seeing the little girl's happy expression, Tang Xue's heart melted completely.
"Let's go now." Tang Xue accepted her invitation, and Lin Xiaoxiao really didn't want to wait a second longer.
He wanted to quickly pull Tang Xue to pack her things so that she could officially become a member of the family.
"By the way, did Sister Bingbing say when the show starts?" Tang Xue asked softly, holding Lin Xiaoxiao's hand.
"Sister Bingbing said it would be within the next day or two, but she didn't tell me the exact time." Lin Xiaoxiao sat down as Tang Xue pushed her.
Tang Xue hesitated for a moment, "You said before that this is a live-streamed variety show?"
"Yes," Lin Xiaoxiao said, somewhat puzzled. "What's wrong?"
Tang Xue looked at Lin Xiaoxiao with a serious expression, "If I move in now, they will be able to film us living together during the filming."
"Do you...mind me?" Lin Xiaoxiao asked nervously.
"How could I possibly mind?" Tang Xue ruffled Lin Xiaoxiao's hair.
Lin Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief, "If you don't mind, then there's no problem."
Looking at Lin Xiaoxiao, Tang Xue smiled. Lin Xiaoxiao's response made Tang Xue feel like she had drunk a big bowl of honey. She gently shook Lin Xiaoxiao's hand, "Then please give me your guidance."
Chapter 68
==================
"Let me help you pack." Lin Xiaoxiao stood behind Tang Xue, watching her bustling around, wanting to help but feeling a little lost.
Tang Xue turned around and saw the little girl, then pressed her down to sit on the bed. "No need, there's not much stuff, I can pack it myself. Just sit and wait for me."
"Okay." Lin Xiaoxiao was a little disappointed, but soon her gaze was drawn to a photo album that Tang Xue had just taken out and placed on the bed.
Lin Xiaoxiao pursed her lips and pointed to the photo album, "Xiaoxue, may I look at your photo album?"
Seeing the longing in the little girl's eyes, Tang Xue smiled and handed the photo album to Lin Xiaoxiao.
"Are these photos from when you were little?" Lin Xiaoxiao placed the album on her lap but didn't open it immediately. Instead, she looked at Tang Xue with curiosity.
"Not all of them are my photos." Tang Xue folded the last piece of clothing and put it into her suitcase. "There are also photos of family and friends."
“Family and friends.” Lin Xiaoxiao touched the photo album and turned her gaze away from Tang Xue, who had walked out of the bedroom.
Upon opening the first page of the photo album, Lin Xiaoxiao's pupils dilated, and the light in her eyes was frighteningly bright.
The first photo shows a little girl with two small pigtails, wearing a white dress, and her face beaming with a bright smile, as if she has seen something.
Lin Xiaoxiao reached out and poked the little girl's face, a smile involuntarily appearing on her own face.
As you flip through the album, other people gradually appear in the photos.
Is it pretty?
Lin Xiaoxiao shrugged, turned her head to look at Tang Xue standing behind her, her expression a little bewildered.
"Sorry, I startled you." Tang Xue gently ruffled Lin Xiaoxiao's soft, short hair. "Where were you looking?"
Tang Xue bent down, her gaze falling on the photo album that Lin Xiaoxiao was holding.
Lin Xiaoxiao blinked, looking at Tang Xue's face so close to hers, the cool fragrance wafting towards her.
Lin Xiaoxiao could even see the fine downy hairs on Tang Xue's face, and her heart skipped a beat.
Even when she slept with Tang Xue during this time, she would always try to hold Tang Xue and fall asleep together.
But her heart would still race whenever Tang Xue had intimate contact with her.
Forcing himself to look away from Tang Xue's face and onto the photo album in his hand, he asked, "Is she your friend?"
"Yes, my college classmate." Tang Xue rested her chin on Lin Xiaoxiao's shoulder, her eyes crinkling, clearly in a good mood.
"Is she the friend who kissed you?" Lin Xiaoxiao didn't know what was going on in her mind. By the time she realized it, the words were already out of her mouth.
Tang Xue was stunned for a moment, her mind a little confused, and it took her a while to react.
Once she realized what was happening, Tang Xue's expression became slightly unnatural. She straightened up and asked, "Are you hungry?"
Lin Xiaoxiao quickly turned to look at Tang Xue, but all she saw was that familiar, gentle smiling face.
She turned her head and glanced at the photo album in her hand again. Lin Xiaoxiao opened her mouth, wanting to ask why she wasn't answering.
But then she felt strange about herself for being so inquisitive, so she silently flipped through the photo album in her hand. "I'm not hungry, are you?"
