While Anran was still angry over the phone call, someone knocked on the office door. She looked up and saw Xiao Xiao standing at the door, looking at her with a smile.

“Is there something?” An ran asked in a cold tone. She didn't know when it had started, but she felt that Xiao Xiao seemed to be deliberately targeting her, and her words were always sarcastic.

“Oh, it's nothing,” Xiao Xiao shrugged her shoulders indifferently and walked in from outside. She pulled out the chair in front of Anran and sat down, saying, ” “I just wanted to ask if you had a good time next weekend.”

Anran glanced at her, lowered her head, and continued to pick up the pen and ruler to draw again. She said indifferently, ” “It's good,”

Xiao Xiao wasn't annoyed by her cold attitude. She sat there and looked at her hands, which had just trimmed her nails last night. She looked at her drawings and said casually, ” “I haven't finished the design yet.”

“Yes.” An ran responded simply without looking up.

Anran didn't know what she was up to, but ever since she said that she was going to make a move on mo Fei, Anran felt like she had to avoid her. It wasn't like they hadn't heard rumors about her in the past, and everyone knew what kind of reputation she had in the industry. As colleagues, Anran had seen all the hard work she had put in, and she had always felt that the rumors and rumors outside were unfair to her. However, ever since that time, she suddenly thought of a saying about Xiao Xiao: ” there's no smoke without fire. &Quot; A fly wouldn't bite a seamless egg. If she didn't do anything, no one would say anything.

In fact, there had been rumors in the company that she had an unusual relationship with Huang Dexing, and that many of her works might have been written by Huang Dexing. In the past, she had never thought about the authenticity of these rumors. However, when she went in that day at youran cuisine, she clearly felt that the atmosphere was a little off. Although they covered it up very well, Xiao Xiao's removed makeup and Huang Dexing's Red lipstick on the corner of her mouth told her what the two of them had done in the private room before she came.

Xiao Xiao sat in front of Anran, a little bored. She watched her draw the drawing seriously, and the corners of her mouth curled up.

After sitting for a while, Xiao Xiao finally stood up. When she turned to leave, she suddenly thought of something and turned back to Anran with a smile. &Quot; &Quot; Oh, right, I almost forgot. Before I came in, the director asked me to remind you that there's a cocktail party tonight at the Jiang city hotel. The company's designers must attend. &Quot;

Anran glanced at her and nodded. &Quot; okay, I got it. &Quot;

Xiao Xiao nodded in understanding. She reached out to open the office door and was about to leave, but the moment she opened the door again, she said without turning her head, ” &Quot; Anran, I definitely won't lose to you in the design competition of the City Hall building. By the way, I forgot to tell you that the company intends to determine the position of the chief designer based on the design competition this time. So, in other words, I want to be the chief designer of ‘sincerity construction.' &Quot; After he finished speaking, he opened the door and walked out, leaving an ran with a charming and swaying figure.

Anran watched the office door slowly close for a long time before she slowly retracted her gaze. She picked up her pen and tools again to draw her unfinished design.

When Anran was about to get off work, she called su Yicheng and told him that she had a cocktail party that night, so she would probably be home late. Su Yicheng had asked her to call him to report that he was coming home late this morning. He said that he didn't want to be greeted by darkness when he returned home, so even if he came home late, he should at least give him a call so that he could be prepared.

She didn't think he was the kind of man who would act coquettishly, but he was clearly complaining to her this morning. Therefore, she nodded without hesitation and promised to call him before she got off work if she worked overtime or came home late.

It just so happened that su Yicheng also had a social gathering that night. After telling her to drink less, he seemed to be quite busy and hung up the phone without saying anything more.

‘River City hotel' is the largest hotel in River City, located on the bank of the Green River. From the top of the hotel, you can see the night view of the entire River City, as well as the night view of the other side of the river.” Not far from the Grand Hotel of River City was the ‘jiangbin square', which was very lively at night. Some people were playing music and dancing, and some were playing with their children there. Many couples would hold hands and take a walk there after dinner. Then, they would walk along the dam built by the river, enjoy the river Wind, and say sweet words.

The two cities faced each other across the river. The cross-section of the Qingjiang River was too large, and Jiangcheng and Qingcheng were both located on the southeast coast. Typhoons were common in summer, and once a Typhoon struck, the waves on the river would be huge. This had always been a problem in building bridges and roads. Therefore, the bridge connecting the two cities had been delayed for a long time and had not been planned for construction. But now, because there was no bridge connecting the two cities, the only way to connect the two cities was by the ferry on the river. At night, the circle of colorful lights around the ferry was flashing. From a distance, it had a different flavor and was very beautiful.

Anran looked at the night view outside the window, and a slight smile appeared on her lips. Suddenly, a man's voice came from behind her. She turned around and saw that it was her colleague from the design department.

&Quot; Anran, the director is looking for you. Hurry up and go. &Quot; The male colleague said anxiously.

Tonight's reception was held by the real estate Association of Jiangcheng. In addition to people from the industry, there were also many celebrities and senior officials from the municipal Party Committee, so Huang Dexing paid special attention to it.

Anran nodded at him. &Quot; okay, I got it. &Quot; He took another look at the night view outside the window before turning around and walking towards the venue of the party.

Actually, she didn't like these kinds of occasions. Socializing had always been her Forte. If she had to choose, she would rather work overtime in the office all night to draw blueprints. In fact, it was not her first time attending such an event. It was just that she had not gotten used to it no matter how many times she had been there. This was because at such an occasion, the people who came were all reputable business celebrities or some so-called government officials. It was too taxing on the brain to talk to such people. Sometimes, those so-called celebrities and high-ranking officials who were full of fat brains could not hide their eyes. Thus, an ran had never been used to such an occasion. However, work was something that only you could adapt to. How could it adapt to you? so, no matter how much she disliked it, she still came.

An ran pushed the door open and entered. At that moment, the waltz was playing in the hall. The beautiful melody moved the dance steps of the entire venue. Pairs of men and women were dancing in the center of the venue.

Anran was not in the mood to appreciate it. She looked around for her colleagues in the company. Then, on the right side of the venue, near the dance floor, she found Huang Dexing, who was currently chatting and laughing, and Xiao Xiao, who was standing on the side in a black low-cut, bare-back dress.
