Qiao Xi looked at Xu Xiuyuan, actually not wanting to have too many dealings with him. But since he was essentially her immediate boss, she could only nod in agreement.
"Okay."
Xu Xiuyuan was the first to walk out of the office, with Qiao Xi closely following behind.
"Dean Xu, do you need something?"
Qiao Xi asked softly.
In the long corridor, quite a few people were walking back and forth. Seeing them, those people would take an extra glance.
But Xu Xiuyuan seemed unfazed by the onlookers. He started with an apology, "The suspension was to quell the public opinion. Indeed, I made you suffer undue hardship without getting to the truth first. For that, I am very sorry."
Qiao Xi pursed her lips and said, "That's normal procedure, it's not your fault."
"Still, I owe you that apology." His stern face softened a bit.
Qiao Xi looked at him and felt a renewed sense of familiarity.
"Then I accept your apology."
