Chapter 230: Like it or not
The four of them went to the restaurant next to the company building, a Chinese restaurant with a slightly higher price but few people, and just sat down and didn't talk a few words, and the waiter brought the food up.
"I know you don't eat much for your throat. Bai Xiaojiu looked at the soup that was served first, smiled politely at Li Zhe, and turned his head to the waiter and whispered to the waiter, "Trouble is here." His hand pointed to Li Zhe's side.
The table ordered by Qi Jingchen is not big, and the rectangular table is just suitable for four people to sit opposite each other.
Bai Xiaojiu and Zheng Qing are facing each other, with Qi Jingchen sitting next to them, and Li Zhe is diagonally opposite, and the distance is not too far.
The waiter nodded with a professional smile, and gently put the soup in front of Li Zhe, followed by the dishes brought by other waiters one after another.
"I found it a bit more expensive. But the food is never served. Zheng Qing was already hungry, so he unpacked the tableware and looked up at Bai Xiaojiu.
Usually when Qi Jingchen is not there, whenever he eats Chinese food, Zheng Qing always habitually plays the role of Qi Jingchen, scooping soup, scooping rice, cleaning tableware and so on for Bai Xiaojiu.
Looking up, I remembered that Qi Jingchen was here today, how did I know that when the afterglow was swept away, Li Zhe and Qi Jingchen stretched out their hands at the same time, and their hands were almost together.
Bai Xiaojiu was looking sideways and telling the waiter where the dishes were placed.
Since it is a grateful person to invite guests to dinner, there must be a lot of dishes, and this dish has always been small, Bai Xiaojiu asked Qi Jingchen to order a lot of dishes.
Bai Xiaojiu and Li Zhe have also been colleagues in the same group for a while, and they have had a few brief experiences of eating together, and they probably remember what he was going to eat, but they just didn't like spicy food and had a light taste.
She was busy assigning the different preferences of the four people, and Qi Jingchen and Li Zhe were looking at each other.
Qi Jingchen stretched out his hand to take out the tableware for Bai Xiaojiu, it was his habit and duty, and he found that Li Zhe reached over and looked at him in surprise.
Li Zhe has eaten with Bai Xiaojiu a few times, knows what she likes to eat, and is still a little lazy, when she goes out to eat, she never likes to clean the dishes, scoop soup or something, and she is also slow.
Sometimes he is an impatient and is willing to take care of the girl he likes, so he subconsciously reaches out.
When his hand almost touched Qi Jingchen's hand, he realized that her real boyfriend was still there, although he had never been taken seriously, but now he was still her boyfriend.
"Thank you. Qi Jingchen was very nervous Bai Xiaojiu, he had always been very nervous about her, he could easily see Song Zhi's liking before, but now he could see that Li Zhe was faint, so faint that he couldn't feel the kind of hostility that he couldn't feel carefully.
When Li Zhe heard these two words, he raised his eyebrows at Qi Jingchen, retracted his hand back, and shook his hand at him, signaling you to come.
Qi Jingchen turned his head to see that Bai Xiaojiu was still explaining to the waiter for a while, obviously not seeing the scene between him and Li Zhe, he felt a little depressed, but he was relieved.
Bai Xiaojiu once mentioned Li Zhe to him, but it was only a passing mention, saying that he had taken her for a period of time when she first joined the company.
Qi Jingchen had almost no impression of Li Zhe, if it weren't for his promotion, if it wasn't for his handsomeness, if it wasn't for him suddenly helping Bai Xiaojiu.
All of this made Qi Jingchen's heart instantly vigilant, and at the moment when Li Zhe stretched out his hand just now, Qi Jingchen already understood the real reason why Li Zhe helped her.
The vinegar in her heart was surging repeatedly, and in her ears was Bai Xiaojiu's voice thanking the waiter, she turned her head and smiled at Li Zhe, "I just remember that you like to eat light." Eat it. Not enough to order again. ”
Qi Jingchen felt full at this moment, and he didn't know why he always felt very panicked in his heart, and he felt a little like he was facing a great enemy.
"It's hard for you to remember. I still remember that you like to eat spicy things, and spring bamboo shoots and rape are your favorites. Right?" Li Zhe picked up the dishes in front of Zheng Qing with chopsticks and put them in Bai Xiaojiu's bowl, "I just didn't expect you to remember my preferences." ”
Zheng Qinggang stuffed the food into his mouth, and when he heard this tantamount to a declaration of war, he couldn't help but look at Qi Jingchen, and sure enough, he saw that his face was ugly.
Bai Xiaojiu was also a little stunned, always felt that Li Zhe's attitude was a little different from before, and he always felt strange in his heart.
But she knows that Li Zhe has always regarded work as a career, and he is also fighting for it, and he has always strictly adhered to the company's rules and regulations, and he will definitely not like her.
Besides, if Li Zhe really likes her, why did he treat her as a transparent person for so long.
Bai Xiaojiu thought that he was more sensitive, and he felt familiar with Li Zhe, so he didn't like that hexagram at all, but he felt that his approach was a little inappropriate.
And in front of Qi Jingchen, he said this, which made her feel a little unhappy, and quickly diverted the topic and talked about today's matter, "This complaint really depends on you." We still have to go to work, so I'll replace the wine with a drink and toast you with a bottle. ”
Bai Xiaojiu stood up, held up his drink towards him, smiled, and took two sips, "I've been thinking, when Sister Wei leaves, who will be the manager." Until I knew it was you, I felt my heart settled. Because we are wandering in the earth, you really do your work wholeheartedly, and you are not right about things. ”
"Give me such a high evaluation?" Li Zhe also stood up, picked up his drink and touched her bottle, "Such a high evaluation, but it is disrespectful." We don't have to be so polite. ”
When Li Zhe waited for Bai Xiaojiu to sit down, he also sat down slowly, glanced at Qi Jingchen with a leisurely look, saw that he was looking at himself, raised the drink in his hand, and took another sip.
Qi Jingchen twitched his brows, and quickly smiled politely at him, "Xiao Jiu has had a headache for this complaint these days. She has always hated people pretending to be public and private. Thank you for that. ”
"Don't be polite with me. It's what I'm supposed to do. Li Zhe picked up the chopsticks and took a bite of the dish, chewed it carefully, as if he had just remembered Qi Jingchen who was talking to him, and replied.
Zheng Qing rolled her eyes and looked at Bai Xiaojiu, who was drinking the soup slowly, feeling that she didn't notice it at all, and she was anxious as if she was being burned.
After Li Zhe finished speaking, he saw that Qi Jingchen just smiled faintly, didn't want to reply, and didn't show any dissatisfaction, but instead put the vegetables in Bai Xiaojiu's bowl, "I like the habit of drinking soup before meals, are you still there?"
Bai Xiaojiu looked at the dishes in the bowl, and then at Qi Jingchen, who was staring at him, and smiled at him first, and then looked at Li Zhe, "It's not a habit, it's just a preference." ”
This denial made Qi Jingchen turn his head and put the vegetables in Bai Xiaojiu's bowl, and picked up the soup bowl that she had drunk halfway, "I'll give you some more, you like to drink this kind of bland soup." ”
"This soup tastes the best. Besides, drinking soup can also lose weight. Bai Xiaojiu smiled and took the soup he handed over, took a sip, and smiled at him with satisfaction, "You should drink more soup." ”
"What kind of fat are you going to lose? You're not fat. But if you have a bad stomach, it's good to drink more soup. Drink slowly. Qi Jingchen pulled out a tissue from his hand and handed it to her, patted her head again, and looked spoiled, his eyes were full of her.
Zheng Qing, who was completely transparent, secretly turned his head to look at Li Zhe, and found that he was eating calmly, and didn't look at the two opposite at all.
I don't know if I should breathe a sigh of relief in my heart, or do I think Li Zhe is buried too deeply?
Zheng Qing felt that his brain was a little messy, if Li Zhe was really buried deeply, but it felt like these performances were a bit deliberate?
Even she can see it, Bai Xiaojiu really didn't see it?
Zheng Qing turned her head curiously to look at Bai Xiaojiu, how did she know that she was just picking vegetables, and when she saw it, she tilted her head strangely, "What's the matter?
"It's not spicy, it tastes just right. I just feel so happy that I can't help but look at you twice. After Zheng Qing finished speaking, he was glared at by Qi Jingchen, and looked at Bai Xiaojiu pitifully and pouted.
"Eat your meal well. Happy fart. Qi Jingchen's gaze swept over Li Zhe, muttered to Zheng Qing, and was stabbed by Bai Xiaojiu with his elbow and shut up honestly.
But he turned his head and looked at her with aggrieved eyes, looking like he didn't love me.
Bai Xiaojiu couldn't help laughing, and put a piece of beef in the bowl for him, "You can eat it." Isn't it fast to eat? I don't have an appetite today?"
Yes, seeing that the guy opposite had no appetite, Qi Jingchen didn't dare to say this, just moved his mouth, didn't say anything, lowered his head and sandwiched her vegetables, put it in his mouth, and smiled at her.
"You say, after this incident, will Yang Qing still have a moth? I always feel that she is like Xiaoqiang who can't be killed. It's disgusting, and you can't get killed. ”
Zheng Qing's words made Qi Jingchen's hand paused in the dish, and Bai Xiaojiu winked at her with a sullen smile, "Next time, change the adjective to be more elegant." Some people don't get used to these topics at mealtime. ”
"Haha, he has today!" Zheng Qing laughed gloatingly.
"In recent times, she shouldn't be in trouble. Soon the whole company will promote monitoring, and there are some things that are too obvious for her to do. But there is a high possibility of delaying your escalation. But don't worry, I'll watch her. ”
Li Zhe's words made Bai Xiaojiu smile at him gratefully, but he always felt that what he said today gave people a strange feeling.
I didn't say anything, I just nodded, "Is there enough food to eat?"
"No, I don't. I can't eat much. You don't eat much, either. When Li Zhe said this, he looked at Qi Jingchen's gaze, with a little coolness, but Hengdang didn't see it, and smiled at Bai Xiaojiu, "Your boyfriend doesn't look like he can eat it." These dishes should be enough. ”
"You're right, he really can't eat it. It's not as good as me. Zheng Qing took over the conversation, "Let's go eat hot pot together." I was the only one who ate to the end. The pair of little couples across from you may not be as good as one of me combined. ”
"You're reminding me not to invite you to dinner?"
Li Zhe's joke eased the atmosphere a lot, and the four people at the table laughed one after another, joking about Zheng Qing's appetite, and the topic had nothing to do with work.
As long as Li Zhe didn't speak too deliberately, Qi Jingchen pretended not to know the slightest hostility he had shown before, and he happily had lunch with him.
Qi Jingchen went to check out, Bai Xiaojiu and Zheng Qing were on the way to the bathroom arm in arm, Zheng Qing looked back at Li Zhe, who was sitting at the table and looked cold, and asked softly, "Does Li Zhe like you?"
Bai Xiaojiu was stunned and turned her head to look at her, "Do you think he likes me?"
"It feels a little bit like it, but I'm not sure. Zheng Qing scratched her head, if she could be 100% sure at first, then she felt that Li Zhe's performance was not like it, as if it was just because Bai Xiaojiu was brought out by him.
"He's a work-oriented guy. There is an iron rule that no love is allowed within the company, and he will not break it. ”
