Chapter 24: On the eve of the family feast
"It's okay!" Although Tong Qian felt quite irritated because she had waited for so long, Yin Haodong didn't let her pigeon go, at this moment, her mood was like a cloud above the clouds, floating, naturally, and happy. She saw that Yin Haodong was not sitting, so she also stood up and took out the gift bag that she had been holding for a long time from her arms, "Senior, this is a little bit of my heart, I hope you accept it, I wish you a happy birthday!"
Here, after Qi Huan received Yin Haodong's reply, he was standing at the door of the building counting the bricks on the ground, waiting silently.
Qi Huan was not in a hurry, but Si Yan was diametrically opposed to her, she was very anxious, because as long as the crowd passed by, they would pay attention to these two girls with diametrically opposite figures, "Huanhuan, let's go in and ask, it's not a matter of waiting!"
Qi Huan leaned against the wall and looked at Si Yan, who was pacing back and forth, and said soothingly: "I sent a message to ask the male god, and he said that he would come soon." It should be busy now, let's wait a little longer, there are no classes in the afternoon anyway. Don't worry, he's busy. β
Si Yan sighed and compromised, "Okay, then wait a while." β
Qi Huan looked at the conversation on his phone nearly half an hour ago, and until now no one has replied, so he has to walk around the lattice road boredly.
"What is this?" Yin Haodong looked at the gift bag in Tong Qian's hand and smiled, but didn't take it, "It's just an ordinary birthday, it's too expensive." β
"I specially prepared it, did the senior really not accept it?" Tong Qian pretended to be at a loss, "Don't you like it? β
There was a very shallow and thin light in her eyes, and it sounded soft and weak, in fact, a man would be a little tempted when he heard this, let alone under such a beautiful skin.
Yin Haodong lowered his head and smiled, glad that he had just heard what she said when she called others, otherwise it was really possible to think that the affection in her eyes was true at this moment.
Because of this, Yin Haodong was not moved, after all, he just learned the real reason why Tong Qian approached him. If Tong Qian was curious, Yin Haodong was even more disgusted with her, he had always been very boring, and he didn't know what she thought, so he suddenly found him. But he won't debunk it, not to mention Tong Qian for the time being, just Mrs. Alice, she is still useful to Youkun, he can't get along with money, let alone joke about his career.
Seeing the corners of Yin Haodong's raised lips, Tong Qian's heart pounded at that moment, and she didn't dare to look at the handsome face that made her think about it day and night, she held the handle of the gift bag in both hands, buried her head under her arm, and said in a soft voice, "Senior, please accept it!"
Yin Haodong thought about it, and finally took the gift bag in her hand, "That's bothering you, thank you." β
Yin Haodong accepted her gift, his face was gentle, "Is there anything else?"
The obvious eviction order, Tong Qianjiao's face collapsed, and she was somewhat coquettish: "Senior, isn't it convenient to talk to me more now?"
Yin Haodong glanced at his watch, "There is still a meeting to open, do you have anything else?"
Tong Qian shook her head, "I'm fine, but senior, you're so busy." β
Yin Haodong smiled simply, and as he spoke, he raised his legs and walked to the door.
"Yan Zhu, you wait a minute, just wait another five minutes!" Qi Huan was dragged into Youkun's company by Si Yan, "Alas...... I really can't help you, it's really troublesome. β
"Knowing that I'm anxious and still making me wait so long!" Si Yan crossed her hands on her hips, her chest was exposed, and she was scrambling to announce her existence, "You ask, why hasn't Yin Haodong come out yet." β
Since she had already walked to the front desk, Si Yan was really embarrassed to walk back, so she had to smile at the front desk, "Please, may I ask Yin Haodong, is General Manager Yin here?"
"Hello Miss, do you have an appointment?"
"I told him, I'll show you the chat history-" Qi Huan clicked to the conversation interface, she didn't directly use his personal number today, and asked his work number, so she wasn't too worried that someone wouldn't recognize him.
"Wait a minute, I'll call here to confirm. The sweet smile of the front desk waitress was intoxicating, Qi Huan was probably drunk, and without refuting a word, she just stood aside and waited.
Half a second later, Qi Huan got an apologetic answer from the front desk lady: "I'm sorry, miss, now the general manager has a personal matter and doesn't accept anyone's meeting." β
"But, but he told meβ"
"I don't have the right to make a decision on this, if you want to wait, there is a waiting area in the lobby where you can take a break. β
"Well, I'm just here to deliver something, I'll be down right away. Qi Huan is still trying her best to make her accommodating.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Yin doesn't accept anyone's meeting at the moment. β
Just when Qi Huan was about to say something, Qi Huan suddenly heard Yin Haodong's low voice, "You can call me before you come next time, there are still more bachelors in the company, be careful of being abducted." β
"Okay," Tong Qian followed him, smiling generously: "Senior, you think your employees are too terrible, right?"
Qi Huan paused, turned his head a little embarrassed, and Yin Haodong and Tong Qian walked out of the elevator room.
"Hello general manager. The staff present bowed in unison, Qi Huan was startled, and bowed stupidly with the staff.
Yin Haodong glanced around, bowed slightly, and the other staff straightened up.
Qi Huan tucked the hair scattered next to her ears behind her ears, straightened up and looked at Yin Haodong, who was holding a gift box from a top luxury brand in his hand, which was the store she wanted to buy but didn't buy before. She glanced down at the gift in her hand, a little frightened.
Since he came out with Tong Qian, this thing will never be bought by himself, it must have been given by Tong Qian.
remembered that day downstairs in Xinglan Department Store, she and Tong Qian looked at each other for a second in the revolving door, but Qi Huan still didn't react, and the result would be like this. What's the use of buying a gift early, you can't stand it from being given early, and it's still the same kind of gift.
Just talking about the price, Yin Haodong is in his hand, that is, the one given to him by Tong Qian, which is even better.
The bright eyes suddenly became dull at that moment, and in an instant, Qi Huan had an urge to leave immediately.
When Yin Haodong saw Qi Huan, his eyes motioned for her to follow, Qi Huan didn't understand, his eyes were lowered, his expression was helpless and pitiful, he simply didn't want to say anything, and ran away directly.
"Huanhuan, where are you going?" Si Yan shouted, glanced at Tong Qian again, and a sentence of "Ouch, I'll go" popped out of her mouth, and ran away with Qi Huan.
Yin Haodong looked at Qi Huan's back and fled, pursed his lips, and then looked at Tong Qian expressionlessly, "Let's go, I'll send you out." β
Although her demeanor was elegant and gentlemanly, Tong Qian obviously felt the perfunctory and had to keep silent.
After sending the person safely to the taxi, Yin Haodong waited at the door for a while, Qi Huan didn't know where he went, and there was no trace at all. In desperation, I went back to the company.
The front desk lady was a little surprised when she saw Yin Haodong coming over expressionlessly, "Mr. Yin." β
"Qi Huan just now, that girl, said she was looking for me?"
For a moment, her palms were covered with sweat, she nodded a little nervously, and explained squirmishingly: "The girl said that she came to look for you, but she didn't make an appointment, she just showed me the chat history between you and her, I called Secretary Liu, and he said that you didn't see anyone." β
"What are you doing?"
She saidβcome and deliver something. β
"Where's the stuff?"
"In her hands. β
Yin Haodong had an answer in his heart, and smiled simply, "I know, you're busy." β
Seeing that Yin Haodong was about to leave, the front desk lady breathed a sigh of relief, but before she could let go, she heard him add again: "By the way, if she comes in the future, let her go directly to the office to find me, no need to make an appointment." β
"Okay, Mr. Yin. β
That girl wasn't a normal person!
She has been the front desk in Youkun for so long, and she has never seen Yin Haodong ask any woman to go up to him directly without an appointment, even if it is a beautiful and dazzling woman, she will never come to Youkun more than twice, which means - could it be that she will come often in the future?!
She didn't dare to think about it anymore.
Back in the office, Yin Haodong got his mobile phone from his coat, and there were some unread messages in the phone, which were a few from Tong Qian before, and the rest were the messages of each partner's appointment.
There were two missed calls, both from Chen Chujun.
Yin Haodong didn't care about those news, he turned off the mute first, and then called Chen Chujun back.
"Mom, what's the matter?" Yin Haodong turned on the amplification and put it next to the computer, put on his glasses, and picked up the summary of today's meeting that Liu Mi had just sent.
"Son, how are you doing?" Chen Chujun got straight to the point, "Also, do you know Tong Qian?"
Yin Haodong paused when he heard the word 'Tong Qian', his voice was neither salty nor light, "It's okay, I know." β
"Just that English woman, Mrs. Alice, you know, when I went to have afternoon tea with your Aunt Zhang today, I bumped into her, and there was no way for the two of us to let her be together, she told me that she wanted you to meet Tong Qian. β
Yin Haodong turned off the amplification when he heard the sound, and picked up his mobile phone, "What do you mean?"
"She said that you are the same age as Tong Qian. Chen Chujun replied to the question, "No, son, your claws are just stretched out abroad?"
Yin Haodong leaned back in his chair, he took off his glasses and put them on the table, rubbing his eyebrows, "Mom, don't be kidding." β
"Since she told me, of course I can't save face, and say that there will be a chance for the two of you to meet at that time, how can I fix it now?"
Remembering that Qi Huan's eyes were empty just now downstairs, Yin Haodong opened his mouth and spit out two words, "I don't see." β
"She showed me the picture and she looked good. Chen Chujun smiled.
"Mom," Yin Haodong's tone slowed down, "What are you thinking?"
Chen Chujun laughed a few times, and timidly swallowed those thoughts back into his stomach, "Then Mrs. Alice will come to you to make trouble, don't blame me for not reminding you, son, by the way, how are you and Huanhuan doing?"
Yin Haodong pursed his lips when he heard this, "It's not good, it's still like that." β
Chen Chujun: "Then do you like people?"
Yin Haodong smiled helplessly: "It's too early to say that you like it." β
"Then you should at least have a reaction!" Chen Chujun said, "Give me an answer within a week, if you don't like it, I'll tell you Aunt Su, don't hang other people's little girls, how old are you now, how old are you!"
"Isn't it six years younger? Yin Haodong's rebuttal was somewhat weak, "In such a hurry, could it be that your son is the product you are selling?"
"Bah, bah!" Chen Chujun rolled his eyes on the other end, "Didn't Mom show you her information, learn more, see if you have any ideas, let go of others if you don't have ideas, you know, you are now an old cow eating tender grass, okay? Don't think the little girl likes her anymore, you give someone a big mouth and tell her that I'm just teasing you." Even if Huanhuan doesn't care about it, I don't think I'll go, not to mention that your father has such a good relationship with your Uncle Qi. So you make a decision, got it?"
Yin Haodong's head was big, "Got it." β
"By the way, you can try to get to know Tong Qian more, she looks quite smart, and I'll ask her family when the time comes. β
"Tong Qian can't be. Yin Haodong resolutely denied, "She doesn't want to hunt for curiosity with me." β
"Curious?"
"Mom, is there anything else?" Yin Haodong didn't want to talk anymore, his tone was stiff, and directly interrupted Chen Chujun's curiosity, "I'm going to be busy." β
"Okay, then don't forget about Huanhuan. Chen Chujun reminded, "Hang up, forget your mother's bear child when you have a job." β
Yin Haodong coughed lightly, "Goodbye." β
Hanging up the phone, Yin Haodong took a breath and looked up at the ceiling.
All that crossed his mind was Qi Huan's look downstairs.
At that moment, she was like a fallen leaf that had been slapped to the ground by the snow, cowering, and at that moment she fell down in despair. Stupid, I was so shocked that I didn't dare to say a word.
Why don't you dare to say it?
Could it be that he will still eat her?
Yin Haodong shook his head helplessly, raised his eyes and saw that the black folder that he had placed on the bookshelf was taken out by a ghost.
In addition to the things at work, the significance of being able to keep a file folder in his bookshelf for more than a week is self-evident.
Looking at the big words "Qi Huan's Growth History" written on the cover, Yin Haodong pulled the corners of his mouth, shook his head and opened it.
Since it is a growth history, of course, this is all Qi Huan's information.
Sandwiched between some photos of her childhood, from the beginning of her infancy to the photo of her 20 years old, a strong change, this is a child's growth history from childhood to adulthood. The file that Chen Chujun got this time is obviously more complete than those women before.
Sure enough, Qi Huan was small when he was born, and his weight was unacceptable, no wonder he is so small now.
Although she was very young when she was a child, it is not difficult to see that this is a beautiful embryo, with big double eyelids and delicate skin, which looks like she wants people to pinch her face.
When I was young, I often took antibiotics, and my growth was slow, but I always had a special yearning for school, so I went to school earlier than other children.
Her grades have been very good since she was a child, and she must have been working hard to be admitted to Qingjing University.
Thinking of the rumors she heard at school that day, Yin Haodong was inexplicably a little angry, why didn't she refute it?
I've been so cringe, when will I grow up?
Yin Haodong sighed and turned the page, it was what she liked to eat and what she was afraid of.
By the time Yin Haodong found out what he was doing, he had already finished the entire folder, and amazingly, he seemed to have written it all down.
The man in the office chair placed the file folder on the bookshelf with lightning speed, and he covered his eyelashes with one hand, only the ruddy tips of his ears could prove his state at this moment.
