My Ex-Husband Is Proposing Again

Chapter 471: Chapter 471: I have a boyfriend now……_1

All eyes were focused on Su Hongxing. Under the collective gaze of the crowd, she spoke in a feeble voice, “Our company withdraws from the competition.”

Ye Qilan, who was initially reviewing Ace Design’s proposal, raised his head on hearing Su Hongxing’s words. His eyes grew colder and more piercing, “Bidding is no child’s play. If your company didn’t want to participate in the bidding, you shouldn’t have joined in the first place. Since you’ve passed the preliminary round, you should follow through till the end. Success of any company is never by chance. Retreating at the first sign of difficulty, is this your true nature, Miss Su, or simply your company’s fear of challenges?”

Su Hongxing was publicly criticized by Ye Qilan. For the lack of saving face combined with the repulsed glances from the representatives of other companies, she felt utterly humiliated.

“That will be all for today. Tomorrow at 10 am, everyone should be prompt for the final bidding in the conference room. If someone wants to drop out now, I won’t stop them.” Ye Qilan said, his gaze fixed on Su Hongxing’s face.

Su Hongxing wanted to announce Ace Design’s resignation, but she thought of how Mo Li had been striving for a whole month just to join the bid. It was Mo Li’s hard work, wouldn’t it be too selfish of her to pull out just because of a personal grudge?

In the end, she said nothing.

As she left Ye Qilan’s office, he didn’t spare her a second glance, as if she were as inconsequential as a passerby.

Su Hongxing was slowly walking towards the elevator when Li Yan class caught up with her, “Director Ye can be a little temperamental. He’s straightforward and works tirelessly. Miss Su, I still believe you shouldn’t withdraw easily. Director Ye appreciates talent. When he saw Ace’s design proposal, he was impressed. President Fu also mentioned that your company’s proposal is the most creative among all designs.”

Su Hongxing nodded in agreement, “Yes, this is the design proposal that our President Mo has put a lot of effort into.”

Mo Li is really talented in this respect, which is why she put up with such a small company.

She really shouldn’t be so narrow-minded and should prioritize the bigger picture.

After leaving Lugang, she didn’t go back to the company and instead went straight home.

She washed her face, changed into her pajamas, and was about to sleep, but her thoughts kept turning to Ye Qilan.

To distract herself, she left the house, strolled around outside, and even watched two movies in the theater.

By the time she stepped out of the theater, it was already four in the afternoon.

She got off the car two hundred meters away from her home, planning to go to the grocery store.

“Mianmian?” When Su Hongxing heard Ye Qilan’s voice, she sighed exasperatedly.

She had lived in S City for so long and had never run into Ye Qilan before.

Why did she seem to run into him wherever she went now?

Was it a coincidence, or had Ye Qilan seen through her disguise and was deliberately teasing her in this way?

She paused, turning around to look at Ye Qilan.

“You forgot to leave me your phone number the last time.” Ye Qilan said calmly, looking directly into Su Hongxing’s clear, beautiful eyes.

Su Hongxing remained silent, looking coldly at Ye Qilan, “I have a boyfriend.”

No matter whether Ye Qilan had recognized her or not, she didn’t want to guess anymore.

Ye Qilan seemed to be taken aback by her overt statement. He paused for a moment before nodding, “I apologize if I was presumptuous. When I have the opportunity, I’d like to invite you and your boyfriend for dinner. By the way, could you tell me your phone number?”

Su Hongxing decisively shook her head,”It’s not convenient.”

Ye Qilan looked deeply at Su Hongxing, didn’t say anything else, and drove away.
