Chapter 2171: Meeting

You Lan had no experience in relationships.
‘The Crown Prince was the first man she liked.
‘When she was in the Southern Region, she was very popular and had developed a proud and narcissistic personality.
She had just expressed her feelings to him and he would like her.
After hearing that he had someone he liked, she had been hypnotizing herself, thinking that the person he liked was definitely not as outstanding as her.
But today, she finally understood that the person he liked was Sister Bo.
She had interacted with Bo Cixue twice and did not know her very well.
However, Bo Cixue’s appearance, smile, and every action were rather attractive.
Before the Crown Prince came today, she and Bo Cixue had arrived at the ranch first and they had even competed at the ranch.
She realized that Bo Cixue’s riding skills were not much worse than hers.
You Lan could not hate Bo Cixue.
But seeing Ye Jie’s dark expression, her heart ached.
“Brother Crown Prince, I can go back, but I still have to tell you that Sister Bo doesn’t like you.” You Lan was only telling the truth. No woman would give up the man they liked to another person.
Unless she had no feelings at all.
Ye Jie’s temples throbbed and the nerves in his mind were so tense that they were about to break. His long and narrow black eyes were bloodshot as he said coldly, “I don’t need you to remind me of this. Don’t contact her anymore in the future. I’ll settle my matters with her myself.”
You Lan deleted Bo Cixue’s WeChat under his oppressive gaze.
After Bo Cixue sat in the taxi, she closed her eyes slightly to think, so she did not notice the black sedan that was the opposite of the taxi.
‘When they arrived at the ranch, Bo Cixue found the boss and asked Ye Jie and You Lan.
Knowing that they had returned and left together, Bo Cixue returned to the taxi.
The taxi driver looked at the silent Bo Cixue and asked, “Miss, are you going back to the city?”
Bo Cixue nodded.
On the way to the city, Bo Cixue sent You Lan a WeChat message.
“Princess, are you with the Crown Prince now?”
After sending the message, she was blocked by the other party.
Bo Cixue was stunned for a moment.
Since You Lan had blocked her, she could not add her back.
Bo Cixue asked the taxi driver to send her to Kuangjing Bay.
Bo Cixue returned to the apartment and lay on the sofa, hugging her knees, her mind in a mess.
She thought about it, but could not think of anything.
She had to wait for Kevin to come back and talk to him.
Bo Cixue sat alone for the entire afternoon. At night, she pricked up her ears to listen to the movements opposite, but there was no movement from the other side.
Bo Cixue knew that she had done something wrong this time.
He had hurt her heart before and that was a separate matter. She had done something wrong this time and had to apologize to him in person.
But she did not see him for three days.
Sometimes, she would take out her phone, wanting to send him a message, but every time she finished typing the apology, she would delete it.
He probably did not come back because he did not want to see her again!
She did not want to have anything to do with him now. If he did not look for her, wouldn’t it be good for her to be alone?
Soon, it was time for work.
Bo Cixue did not have time to think about Ye Jie. The director of the research institute sent her, Song Man, Yan Yu, and several colleagues to attend a technology exhibition.
She had to go on a three-day business trip.
Because Song Man had spread rumors in the research institute that Bo Cixue relied on Ye Jie to study the sensor chip, Bo Cixue and Song Man were basically silent.
Yan Yu did not like Song Man’s jealous personality of spreading rumors about her colleagues. The two of them had broken up not long after, so Song Man had a bigger problem with Bo Cixue. As long as Bo Cixue did not do well, she would mock her for not having enough education and entering the
research institute through connections.
Bo Cixue did not care much about what Song Man said behind her back. After all, most of her colleagues had brains.
This technology exhibition gathered the results of high-tech demonstrations both domestically and abroad.
Bo Cixue did not expect to see Ye Jie in the technology museum.
Together with several leaders from other countries, he attracted the attention of many people the moment he entered the technology hall.
They would stop in front of every booth for a few minutes, accompanied by the curator of the technology hall.
When they arrived at Bo Cixue’s booth, Yan Yu pushed Bo Cixue out and asked her to explain the finished product of their booth.
This was the first time they had met after Bo Cixue asked Ye Jie to ride a horse that day.
Ye Jie was wearing a perfectly ironed black suit with a black handmade shirt of the same color. The stiff collar and fitting style made him look even more cold and noble.
‘The moment Bo Cixue saw him, she felt that something was different from before.
It was a distant and indifferent aura.
Seeing Yan Yu pushing her out to explain, he lifted his eyes slightly, his gaze sweeping past her and then landed on Yan Yu. “You do it.”
Yan Yu was stunned for a moment before he immediately stood up.
Song Man stood by the side and sneered when she saw that Ye Jie did not even look at Bo Cixue.
Bo Cixue stood with her hands crossed and did not care too much about Song Man’s ridicule.
A few minutes later, Ye Jie and the rest left.
Song Man could not help but say, “No matter how noble a man is, he won’t cherish it after getting it. No matter how beautiful a flower is, it’s not worth much if it’s plucked.”
Hearing Song Man’s words, Yan Yu frowned. “Are you done?”
“So what if I’m not done? I don’t have her background, no one to support me, and I can’t even speak? You probably broke up with me because you were charmed by her, right? She gave herself the image of a beautiful scientist and thought that the Crown Prince would have feelings for her. Today, the
Crown Prince didn’t even look at her properly. So what if he was dumped?”
Bo Cixue did not plan to argue with Song Man. She was upright and was not afraid of any gossip.
However, Song Man kept provoking her temper. If she continued to hold it in, she would become a masochist.
Bo Cixue smirked coldly. “Why am I so smug about not being dumped? Do you think people will look at you without me? You’re always targeting me and talking bad about me. Do you think you’re better than me? Alright, let’s compete!”
Song Man looked at Bo Cixue’s lazy and confident appearance and gritted her teeth. “What do you want to compete in?”
Bo Cixue looked at Yan Yu and another colleague. “Make a software on the spot. As for what to do, the two of you can set the questions.”
Another colleague usually had a good relationship with Song Man. Bo Cixue asked her to set the questions with Yan Yu to shut Song Man up and prevent her from saying that Yan Yu was biased toward her.
Yan Yu discussed with his colleagues for a while and asked Bo Cixue and Song Man to come up with a program for explaining their products at the exhibition.
This question was not easy, especially if it was done on the spot.
Yan Yu said, “There’s no time limit. Whoever makes it first wins.”
Song Man gritted her teeth. “Okay, but what if I win and lose?”
Bo Cixue said slowly, “If you win, I’ll resign and leave the research institute. If I win, you can find another job.”
This bet was a little too big.
Song Man’s expression darkened and she said nothing.
Yan Yu came out to mediate. “Cixue, it’s not that serious, right?”
Bo Cixue gave a fake smile. “Ever since she started to spread rumors about me in the research institute, things have become serious. Does she think I’m easy to bully? Actually, I really don’t care about using my connections. Otherwise, she would have been kicked out of the research institute in minutes.”
Song Man had not thought so seriously at first.
She had spread rumors about Bo Cixue mostly out of jealousy. However, Bo Cixue did not fight back at first. She thought that Bo Cixue was easy to bully and that was why she had become worse.
Song Man could not back down now.
The female colleague stood beside Song Man and said softly, “Manman, her educational background is not as high as yours. You can definitely win her!”
Song Man was not confident.
Although she said that Bo Cixue’s educational background was not as high as hers, they worked in the same place. How could she not know if Bo Cixue had real talent?
On the second floor of the technology hall.
Ye Jie leaned against the railing, looking at Bo Cixue whose fingers were jumping on the computer and narrowed his dark eyes slightly.
“Ye, who is she?” A Prince from another country followed Ye Jie’s gaze and saw Bo Cixue.
Bo Cixue was wearing the uniform of the research institute, her long hair tied into a ponytail. It was a simple outfit, but she was still very eye-catching.
Although she could not see what Bo Cixue was writing, her expression had always been relaxed and lazy. On the other hand, Song Man, who was beside her, was sweating.
An hour later.
Bo Cixue smirked. “I’m done.”
Song Man widened her eyes in disbelief.
Yan Yu and another female colleague were also surprised.
Song Man looked at the software Bo Cixue had made with a pale face. It was so perfect that no one could find any flaws, but she had only done less than a third of it.
It was only then that Song Man realized how scary Bo Cixue was!
Song Man’s eyes turned red. She lowered her eyes and nodded at Bo Cixue. “I admit defeat. I’ll pack my things later and return to the research institute to resign from the director.”
Song Man was about to leave when someone stopped her.
She turned back and looked at Bo Cixue. “If you want to humiliate me, just say it.”
Bo Cixue let go of Song Man’s arm and said calmly, “I was joking when I said that whoever loses would resign. I never thought of letting you go. You have your talent and ability and are an indispensable member of the research institute. I hope you can focus on your work in the future and not gossip about
others like a gossipmonger.”
Song Man looked at Bo Cixue in disbelief, her lips trembling, “You… don’t care about what I said to you before?”
“Compared to making you hate me for the rest of your life, I hope you can remember my kindness.”
Song Man looked at Bo Cixue and the tears in her eyes fell.
Bo Cixue’s magnanimity was not something ordinary people could have.
She finally understood why most people in the research institute liked her so much.
Bo Cixue returned to the apartment after her business trip and the door opposite opened. She was slightly stunned when she saw the man walking out..
