Chapter 176: Excuses
Xu Chunqiu pushed open the glass door of Huarong Finance and pressed the elevator button with ease.
The elevator had not yet reached the first floor, Xu Chunqiu pulled his mask and stood in front of the metal door and waited patiently. While waiting for the elevator, she turned her head and looked at the environment of Lu Xiu's work quietly with a pair of big watery eyes.
Coincidentally, in the flow of people coming and going in the hall on the first floor, she caught that familiar figure.
Lu Xian had his back to her, he was not wearing a coat, his suit was on the crook of his arm, he was standing there wearing a black shirt alone, still tall and straight, as if he was talking to someone.
Xu Chunqiu pricked up his ears and listened.
"Mr. Lu, then let's do this for the time being," talking to Lu Xiu was a middle-aged man with a big belly, "I know that there is a very authentic Japanese food in the CBD, you must taste their beef tongue, why don't we talk while eating?"
Xu Chunqiu looked down at the insulated lunch box he was carrying, and felt a little overwhelmed for a while.
I only heard Lu Xiu's voice being particularly clear in the noisy voice: "Another day, I already have an appointment at noon." ”
Does he already have an appointment?
The metal door of the elevator slowly opened, and Xu Chunqiu stopped in place and did not get on. She watched in a daze as Lu Xiu sent the middle-aged man away decently and walked all the way to the door of the company.
There was only a few dozen meters between them from the flow of people coming and going in the hall, but Xu Chunqiu looked at his back and dialed his phone.
Or is it the same as last time, after only one sound, Lu Xiu picked it up: "Hey?"
“...... Mr. Lu. ”
"What's the matter, the front desk is embarrassing you again?"
Xu Chunqiu hurriedly said, "No...... I wanted to ask you, did you have an appointment for noon today?"
Lu Xiu said calmly: "No." ”
As he spoke, he looked around, "Have you arrived?"
He turned around and saw Xu Chunqiu at the elevator door, laughing like a river of spring water, he held the phone and walked towards her: "I see you." ”
The elevator fell back to the first floor again, and there was a "ding" prompt sound, Xu Chunqiu and him hurriedly glanced at each other, and immediately looked away, she was a little panicked and carried the pink corset bag into the elevator, and slapped the button to close the door.
Lu Xiu's face was isolated from the metal door by her.
"Xu Chunqiu?"
"......" Xu Chunqiu stared at the sign in the elevator that said "mobile signal has been covered", opened his eyes and said nonsense, "Hey...... Mr. Lu, I just entered the elevator, and the signal may not be very good. ”
Lu Xiu smiled lowly, and mercilessly punctured the excuse she had just opened her mouth to talk nonsense: "My company's elevators are all full coverage, and I deliberately stared at the wall-mounted antenna that they installed. ”
Xu Chunqiu: "......"
She stared at the slowly climbing numbers on the screen and didn't speak for a long time.
"What's wrong, why don't you speak all of a sudden?"
Xu Chunqiu clenched the drawstring in his pocket, and opened his mouth a little aggrieved: "Since Mr. Lu has already asked someone else to eat, why do you want me to come over?"
Lu Xiu: ???
When did I ask someone out for dinner, and how did I not know?
Immediately afterwards, he reacted, and the words he used to prevaricate the customer just now were heard by Xu Chunqiu.
How can she be so cute even when she is jealous!
"I didn't ask anyone else, I really didn't. ”
Xu Chunqiu kept his mouth shut in the elevator and did not speak, the elevator had climbed to the thirty-second floor, and the scenery outside was slowly moving at an even speed.
"I've heard Mr. Tang say that you don't need to cook or eat takeout by yourself, there are special people who have prepared it for you. ”
Lu Xiu: It's over, I wanted to shake my wit and try my daughter-in-law's craftsmanship, but it overturned.
"No, it's not like that. Lu Xiu secretly scolded Tang Ze in his heart, and at the same time frantically defended himself, "I said this because ......"
"I miss you. ”
Xu Chunqiu's eyes widened.
"I want to see you, every day. ”
"I think when I eat, I think when I sleep, and I think when I work. ”
"So I wanted to make an excuse, I just wanted to take you to my company and see what the place where I work is like, and we'll sit down together and eat your food in the office. ”
"I'm waiting for you every day. ”
Xu Chunqiu was a little stunned and said, "Then you just ...... it."
"I didn't ask anyone else, the person I asked was you. ”
The home-cooked food in the thermos box and the Japanese food in the high-end restaurant, Lu Xiu chose the former without thinking about it.
Xu Chunqiu finally breathed a sigh of relief, and just as he was about to speak, he felt that the elevator that had been rising evenly before stopped.
It wasn't the kind of smooth stop that stopped on a certain floor, but it suddenly stopped, and then all the lights on the top went out.
It was the first time Xu Chunqiu encountered such an accident, and his heart suddenly jumped to his throat.
She didn't scream or shout, just a small "ah" and gasped.
"Xu Chunqiu?" Lu Xiu felt that something was wrong, "What's wrong Xu Chunqiu, is there something wrong with you?"
"Are you still in the elevator?"
Xu Chunqiu's voice trembled slightly unconsciously: "I...... At. ”
"Mr. Lu, the elevator has stopped. ”
Lu Xiu's heart leaked, this elevator has never broken down since it was opened, but the first accident made Xu Chunqiu catch up.
When he heard Xu Chunqiu's voice, he suddenly lost his confidence, as if he had lost his soul, and squeezed out a small whisper in his throat: "Mr. Lu, I'm afraid ......"
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'm here. Lu Xiu softened his voice, "What floor are you on now?"
Xu Chunqiu looked up at the number jumping on the screen: "Forty-eight floors." ”
As he was talking, the elevator shook again, the scenery outside the window shook violently, and Xu Chunqiu sat down uncontrollably.
Lu Xiu heard a loud noise, and hurriedly asked again: "What's the matter, did something happen to the elevator again?"
Xu Chunqiu said softly: "I shook it again just now." ”
She was decades ago, and at that time she had never had the opportunity to see elevators, planes, and other things, so she never doubted their safety, and the first time she encountered this kind of accident, even if she was calm in the past, she would inevitably panic at this moment.
Mr. Lu ...... Will it fall?" Xu Chunqiu's voice had a little more pitiful taste, "I'll ......"
Lu Xiu replied quickly: "No, the maintenance workers will be here soon, don't scare yourself." ”
"Would you like to take a look at the buttons on the floor now?"
Xu Chunqiu nodded, thinking that Lu Xiu couldn't see it, and said "um" again.
"Okay, you can now turn on all the buttons on the floor you're on. ”
"Don't be afraid, I'm here, I've always been there. ”
