Qin Tianyi looked up and saw it was him, his expression softening slightly. "Why are you here? Shouldn't you rest a few more days until your injuries are fully healed?"
"Almost good," Xiao Anjing joked. "If I didn't come, you'd have this company filled with smoke and fire again."
"It's not that exaggerated. If I don't get angry, they'll just procrastinate. How can the group operate efficiently like this?" Qin Tianyi said, still sounding annoyed.
Xiao Anjing sighed. "Humanized management. Do you even know what humanized management is?"
"Isn't the treatment in our group good enough? Paid leave every year, triple pay at year-end, generous bonuses, what benefits are missing?" Qin Tianyi retorted.
Xiao Anjing thumped his chest. "I'm talking about fostering a friendly, lively, and relaxed work atmosphere. Many large groups emphasize work atmosphere nowadays, understand?"
"You believe that stuff too? It's all an act. The business world is a battlefield, and the entire group is a disciplined force!" Qin Tianyi stared at him impatiently.
Xiao Anjing felt he couldn't win the argument and changed the subject. "But your commander today went into battle with emotions. Tell me, why did you and the young madam argue again?"
Qin Tianyi scoffed and laughed. "We argue? Nonsense, our relationship is very good."
"If it's not because of her, then who is it? Don't tell me you've found someone new," Xiao Anjing didn't believe a word he said and teased him intentionally.
It wasn't that he had found someone new, but someone was eyeing his Susu. This thought made him angry, and he ordered Xiao Anjing out. "Since you're mostly recovered, go back to work. Don't disturb me here."
Seeing that he was still upset, Xiao Anjing kindly tried to guide him. "What's the matter that caused this again? Maybe I can help."
"You help me?" Qin Tianyi said without flattery.
Xiao Anjing replied, "I'm not married yet, but I'm definitely better than you at making women happy."
"It's not about making her happy now. It's that a woman likes her, but she's indifferent and still wants to spend time with that woman," Qin Tianyi was very annoyed. The thought of losing control and arguing with her again made him regretful.
"A woman?" Xiao Anjing seemed to understand, stifled a laugh, and tried to keep his expression neutral.
Qin Tianyi shot him a look. "Laugh if you want, but I'm absolutely sure. That woman wants to take Susu away..."
Xiao Anjing couldn't hold back his laughter. "So you're jealous of a woman."
"Get out." Qin Tianyi said coldly, not wanting to deal with him. Like Susu and Xiao Anjing's reactions, most people would assume that between two women, it could only be close friends or besties, and wouldn't think of anything else.
"Hey, hey, don't be angry. I'm not saying you're wrong. It's not strange for women to like women. Some women, after being completely disappointed in men, will like the same sex," Xiao Anjing stood up and said seriously, "The important thing is that someone likes your wife. Your wife isn't bisexual, is she?"
"Nonsense, her eyes are only on me," Qin Tianyi said immediately and firmly.
"You're really feeding us dog food so directly," Xiao Anjing reminded him. "But with your fierce and unreasonable attitude, don't push your wife to be completely disappointed in men. Then it'll be hard to say."
He left Qin Tianyi's office after saying this, letting him ponder it himself. In any case, he had made a request for his reinstatement.
Hearing Xiao Anjing's words, he regretted his outburst at Susu that morning even more. By leaving like that, hadn't he given Sophie an opportunity to take advantage?
He immediately picked up his phone, wanting to call Susu and see what she was doing, if she was still with Sophie.
Did she really intend to move out and live with Sophie, or was it just something she said in anger?
Now he was even more annoyed and vexed. But after just having an argument, would calling Susu proactively make him seem too weak? He had never been like this. He should wait for Susu to apologize first!
He tossed his phone aside again and buried himself in the documents, but he couldn't concentrate at all.
Less than five minutes later, he couldn't help but pick up his phone. He couldn't care less and directly dialed Susu's number.
Susu had just arrived at the studio and sat down when her phone rang. Seeing it was Qin Tianyi calling, she hesitated to answer. Did he still want to scold her angrily?
But if she didn't answer, he would only get angrier. In the end, she answered somewhat reluctantly.
"What are you doing? Why did it take you so long to answer?" Qin Tianyi asked coldly on the phone.
Susu quickly replied, "At the studio, I was busy just now. Is something wrong?"
"Is Sophie still at the villa?"
Susu replied, "I sent her back to her place. Since you dislike her so much, I wouldn't dare to keep her at home any longer."
Qin Tianyi's tone softened a bit. "That's more like it."
Susu also wanted to take this opportunity to reconcile with him. They just had different perspectives on the issue, and there was no need to make things so stiff.
"I've already instructed the housekeeper to take good care of her and told her that she needs to cheer up. Good husband, don't be angry anymore. I won't give her that dress, I'll keep it for myself, okay?"
Qin Tianyi felt a bit calmer. "No, throw it away! I'll buy you another one."
Susu immediately praised him. "Generous, I like that."
Seeing that she wasn't being stubborn anymore, Qin Tianyi's mood improved, but he said seriously, "We need to send Sophie to a hospital specializing in psychological problems as soon as possible. This cannot be delayed any further."
Susu felt that Sophie wasn't that serious yet. Perhaps she would get better after starting work at the studio.
But she didn't want to anger Qin Tianyi again, so she agreed, "Okay, I'll make time to go to the psychologist's clinic we visited last time and ask her if she has any good treatment centers."
"Alright, you get back to work. I need to get back to my own business. I'll pick you up after work," Qin Tianyi's voice became gentle again.
"Okay, we'll go back hand in hand, so Chen Ma won't worry about us," she said, hanging up first.
Qin Tianyi put down his phone, and it felt like the sky had cleared. He felt that Susu was always considering the people around her, which would be very tiring for her, and he couldn't help but feel sorry for her.
After a busy day, before leaving work, Susu prepared a design room for Sophie, giving her a private office so she wouldn't feel uncomfortable in a public workspace.
Before she left, she instructed Zhang Ting to redecorate the design room, creating a warm and comfortable environment for Sophie to work in. She would do her best to do anything she could for Sophie.
As soon as Qin Tianyi messaged her saying he was almost there, she hurried to the elevator and waited for him at the building entrance.
After much thought, she decided not to tell him about Sophie coming to work yet.
It wouldn't be too late to tell him after Sophie's condition stabilized and her work here got on track.
