Chapter 175: A Conversation Between Men
Bai Xiaojiu and the three of them walked into the venue and found that they were more upscale than they imagined.
But there have been a lot of acquaintances, all colleagues, and the clothes are not particularly formal.
However, usually in the company, they are T-shirts and jeans, but this time everyone is wearing dresses and shirts, and they don't look as casual as usual.
There were not too many people present, there were some R&D people, there were many people in the customer service department, and there seemed to be more acquaintances, even if they hadn't spoken, they had seen it a few times.
Soon the uncomfortable feeling was gone, Zheng Qing quickly integrated into the environment, and he staggered to find his favorite drink.
In fact, I didn't want to be a light bulb for the two of them, so as soon as I entered the venue, I looked at it, and before the banquet, there were many long tables with drinks, desserts, and snacks.
Looking at the feeling of a bit of a buffet, Zheng Qing liked this kind of place to choose to eat freely, patted Bai Xiaojiu at random, and went to have fun by himself.
As soon as Qi Jingchen came in, he just glanced at it casually, and his eyes were on the dessert table.
Bai Xiaojiu couldn't help but smile and accompanied him over, and was accompanying him to choose, "It is said that if anyone needs it, they can pack some back." Do you need it while we're gone?"
"No, I'll just eat it. If I don't eat for a while, you'll be unhappy. ”
Qi Jingchen's straightforward words made Bai Xiaojiu pinch the flesh of his arm, "Am I such a harsh person?"
"You're not, you're worried about me. Qi Jingchen glanced at the desserts on the table a few times, and first took out the cigarette case and took out a cigarette.
Bai Xiaojiu stretched out his hand to stop it and looked left and right, "I didn't see anyone else smoking." Will smoking be stopped?"
The venue is very large, enough to accommodate thousands of people, such a wide place, there are many corners, Qi Jingchen waved his head indifferently, "Maybe someone else is secretly smoking in some corner?"
"Sir, I'm sorry, there are more ladies on the scene, we have specially prepared a smoking room, over there, can I take you there?"
Bai Xiaojiu looked at the waiter who came over, so politely stopped Qi Jingchen from smoking, and tugged his arm.
Qi Jingchen honestly took back the cigarette, smiled politely at the waiter, and looked in the direction of his finger, "I know." See. ”
Seeing that he had no intention of following, the waiter glanced at the cigarettes he had stuffed back into the case, smiled apologetically at him, and walked to the other side.
"There you go. I won't lose it alone. This is our company's annual meeting, and it's all acquaintances. I'm waiting for you here. ”
Bai Xiaojiu knew that he was not going, and he often looked at her, just because he was afraid that he would be unhappy if she was left here alone.
After speaking, he looked left and right in embarrassment, and poked his waist with a sullen laugh, "It's all acquaintances, and there are no strange handsome guys to rob me." ”
This really said to Qi Jingchen's heart, whenever he was not by Bai Xiaojiu's side, he always felt that she would be snatched away at any time.
was poked by her "little paws", and his heart suddenly settled, he looked left and right, no one paid attention to them, he pinched her hand and put it on his lips and kissed it, "Do you want to be together?"
Bai Xiaojiu has always smoked women's cigarettes, and he is not very addicted to smoking, and he tries not to smoke outside, and shook his head, "I'll wait for you here, you can go." Don't worry, there is still half an hour to go. ”
"Then I'll go, you good. Qi Jingchen leaned over and kissed her forehead, "I'll be back soon." ”
"I'm going to smoke a cigarette. Mu Xize glanced at Qi Jingchen a few times, afraid that Song Zhi beside him would see something, so he didn't continue to look at it, but seemed to be chatting with him very easily.
Yu Guang saw Qi Jingchen and Bai Xiaojiu talking intimately, and those small movements, he only felt the pain in his heart, and clenched his fists to remind himself not to care too much.
But with Song Zhi's words in his ears, his mind was already messed up.
Mu Xize saw Qi Jingchen walking towards the other side with a cigarette, and hurriedly patted Song Zhi's shoulder and followed Qi Jingchen's footsteps.
Song Zhi was still a little confused, and when Mu Xize walked away, he scratched his head, "When did you learn to smoke?"
Qi Jingchen and Bai Xiaojiu's colleagues are not familiar with each other, and the only one who is familiar is probably Zheng Qing, and he has a bad impression of others.
It was full of strangers, and he walked quickly through the lobby.
The reproduction of the venue is quite complicated, and the huge venue is divided into many small spaces by screens and different furnishings.
It's like a maze to walk around, the smoking room is in the corner, and you can see flashing signs, but you have to take a detour to get up.
"Qi Jingchen?"
Qi Jingchen didn't expect that there were still people here who knew him, and when he heard someone calling him, he stopped and turned his head in disbelief.
The first time he saw Musize, he felt very familiar, and soon remembered who it was.
"You ......" Qi Jingchen remembered that Bai Xiaojiu had said that Mu Xize had already left the company and caused her trouble.
Before he finished speaking, Mu Xize walked up to him in a few steps, his expression looking quite easy-going, "I met an old colleague and invited me to come and see." ”
"Something?" Qi Jingchen had a bad impression of him, but the two of them stood facing each other like this, one former and one current.
Thinking about it carefully, the relationship seems to be a little awkward, not to mention that many people in the umbrella company know it.
If two people stand like this all the time, it's nothing more than a joke.
Qi Jingchen didn't want to make Bai Xiaojiu unhappy because of his performance, so he raised the cigarette case and shook it at him, "Let's smoke one together?"
"I don't smoke. Mu Cize glanced at his cigarette, and the little white face he heard just now was in his mind, and his first reaction was who paid for this cigarette?
Thinking like this in my head, there was some disdain on my face.
"Then I'm going to smoke. Qi Jingchen saw his dissatisfaction at a glance, a little inexplicable, and was about to turn around and leave.
Musizer stepped forward and grabbed him by the wrist, almost dragging him towards another corner, "Let's talk." ”
"I'll go myself. Qi Jingchen's heart rose with dissatisfaction, and he pulled out his wrist, "Something?"
This sentence made Mu Xize pause, he didn't know how to answer, he looked left and right at the people around him, and then whispered: "I heard something and want to talk to you." ”
"Okay. Qi Jingchen always felt that his attitude was a little strange.
The first time they met, Bai Xiaojiu made it very clear, and he thought it would be the last time they met.
"Where's your one?" Zheng Qing walked over with two drinks in his hand and handed Bai Xiaojiu a glass, "It's just right, I only took yours." This freshly squeezed orange juice tastes great you try it. ”
"He smoked, do you want to go. Casual smoking is not allowed here, and smoking rooms are required. Bai Xiaojiu took a sip of the orange juice she brought, her eyes lit up, "It tastes really good." ”
"You can also rest assured that the one in your family will go alone?" Zheng Qing drank half a glass of orange juice and patted his chest, only then did he burp, "I seem to have heard from the R&D people that Mu Xize is here." ”
Zheng Qing knew that Mu Xize was already in the past for Bai Xiaojiu, and he said it casually, and he didn't care too much.
I don't care what I said, and the people who listened didn't care, Bai Xiaojiu drank orange juice, inspected the desserts on the table, and said perfunctorily, "He'll come when he comes." The guy in my family is a big smoker, and everything is good, but that's not good. ”
Mu Xize, who was not cared about by his ex-girlfriend, took Qi Jingchen to the corner of the corner, there were no people coming and going, there was still a stereo not far away, and soft music was playing, not too noisy, not too quiet.
"What the hell is looking for me?" Qi Jingchen really didn't think there was anything to say between them, so they couldn't have been chatting happily with Bai Xiaojiu here?
"I didn't mean to, either. I've let go of Xiao Jiu. Mu Xize pulled Qi Jingchen to the corner with a hot head, and he was a little short of words when he wanted to start speaking.
He was not good at words in the first place, but now facing Qi Jingchen, the girl who could not be eradicated in his heart, his current boyfriend, is taller than him, more handsome than him, and even younger than him.
There was a mess in his mind, and after a short period of inferiority, the three words Xiaobai face appeared, and he was stimulated again, and his speech suddenly became straightforward, "I heard that you don't go to work, and you rely on Xiao Jiu to raise you?"
This is a fact, although there are many complicated circumstances, but this sentence is true, and Qi Jingchen can't find a point to refute it.
It was originally reluctant, but now he is uncomfortable, and his face is hot when he is so questioned by his girlfriend's ex.
Qi Jingchen turned his head to look at the wall, pasted with exquisite dark pattern wallpaper, let him reach out and touch it unconsciously a few times before responding softly, "Does it have anything to do with you?"
"It doesn't matter to me what you want to do! But if you want to treat Xiao Jiu like this, even if I am her friend, ordinary friends will have to report their grievances!" Mu Xize looked at him with his back to him.
The tone of the response was very weak, as if he was weak-hearted, and suddenly more dissatisfaction surfaced in his heart, and he turned around to face him, looking directly into his eyes, "I gave Xiao Jiu to you, not for you to treat her like this!"
Qi Jingchen was indeed a little weak in his heart, more uncomfortable and self-blaming and guilty, hearing the word "let", but more of a dissatisfied emotion, he turned his head and glared at Mu Xize angrily, "Xiao Jiu didn't let you out! She chose me! I love her too!"
"That's not how love is said with the mouth. What about your actions? If you really care about her, you love her, you won't let her be talked about behind her back, and you won't embarrass her! You're a man, shouldn't you take good care of her? Do you want her to keep you like this?"
Such words poked at Qi Jingchen's heart word by word, making him feel that he was out of breath.
He didn't even know how to answer Mu Xize's more excited words, and looked at him several times with a frown, "It's a matter between us." ”
"Yes, it's between you. But Xiao Jiu deserves to be treated better!What kind of man are you like this?!" Mu Xize didn't like his attitude, he was inferior in the face of his height and appearance, but when he thought of what he did, hope rose in his heart.
Can Bai Xiaojiu really tolerate such a man? He has no self-esteem, no responsibility, and he can't bear the responsibility that a man should bear.
"The matter between us, you don't have to worry about it. I'm leaving, I don't want to leave her there alone. Qi Jingchen's heart ached and his voice was much lower.
He admitted that he was not good enough, but Bai Xiaojiu's ex-boyfriend pointed his nose at him like this, and he felt unconvinced.
