Chapter 31: Confrontation
The car drove smoothly on the highway around the city, remembering the unhappy dissolution between the two on Chinese New Year's Eve, and the embarrassing situation encountered today, Qinghuan suddenly did not dare to look at Chen Yidong, so he had to look sideways at the window, silently hoping that the car could drive faster, as soon as he entered the city, he would get out of the car and hail a taxi home.
"Didn't I tell you to stay away from Mo He? Why didn't you listen?" Chen Yidong looked straight ahead and asked lightly.
Qing Huan was stunned, and then showed a helpless look on his face, "Please, he is my boss, no matter how far away I am, how far can I go?"
"You will do whatever he asks you to do?" Chen Yidong glanced at her coldly and said unceremoniously: "Don't you have a little judgment and bottom line? How many times has he let you participate in a pimping dinner like today?"
Qing Huan was suddenly stunned, a pimping dinner like today?
The whispers of the two people in the garden came to mind again, her face turned white, she really never thought that Miss Ning called her out to participate in the dinner today with such an intention, if she had known, she would not have come to this kind of place, but if she wanted to say that she didn't know at all, who would believe it?
Qing Huan felt a burst of grievance, his mind was hot, and he blurted out without thinking, "What qualifications do you have to say about me? Didn't you also participate in a pimping dinner like today?"
Chen Yidong didn't seem to expect her to come back so confidently, and couldn't help but turn his head to look at her in surprise, and then sneered angrily and said, "Okay, good, you can really do it, Gu Qinghuan ......"
"Do you think I'm willing? They just told me that it was a work party, and my boss had already spoken, so how could I not come? How would I know that this was the case?" finally couldn't help interrupting him, Qing Huan bit her lip tightly, tears rolled in her eyes, but she still couldn't hold back, the big ones fell, dripping on the back of her hand, she wiped it with her hand fiercely, and turned her head stubbornly.
Chen Yidong was silent, his handsome and clear eyebrows wrinkled tightly, and after a long while, he sighed slightly, took out a piece of paper from the tissue box beside him and handed it to her, "In the future, stay away from Mo He and the woman next to him, things are far more complicated than you think, and some things are more terrible than losing your job." ”
Qing Huan turned his head, took the tissue he handed over, wiped the tears on his face, and asked a little puzzled, "What do you mean?"
"It doesn't matter what you mean, just do what I say. Chen Yidong's expression was faint, and he didn't bother to continue to explain to her.
Qinghuan: "......"
I didn't know how to feel the car driving into the city, and the streets along the road became brightly lit. Qing Huan wanted to open his mouth several times to propose getting off the bus on the side of the road and going home by himself, but every time he turned his head and saw Chen Yidong's tightly pursed lips, the words came to his lips and swallowed again, so he had to stare at the elevated ramp and office buildings outside the car window.
Gradually, the viaduct and the building were left behind, and when the car turned into a secluded path, Qing Huan found that she was almost to the community where she lived, she glanced at Chen Yidong with some surprise, many main roads in this neighborhood were closed due to road renovation, and she could only come in from the surrounding paths, she had lived here for so long, sometimes she couldn't tell where to come in, and he had only been here twice, and he could get in accurately.
In a flash, the car had stopped at the entrance of the community.
"Thank you for today. Qing Huan said in a low voice.
Chen Yidong let out a faint "um", stopped talking, and did not turn his head to look at her.
Qing Huan was silent, took her bag and pushed the car door and walked quickly to the community, halfway through, she finally couldn't help but look back, but found that the car was still parked on the side of the road, through the half-open window, you can see Chen Yidong lowered his head and lit a cigarette, and the red light was especially clear in the night.
She suddenly couldn't tell what she was feeling in her heart, and she stood there for a few seconds, but finally turned around and walked in the direction of the residential building without looking back.
The next morning, Qing Huan returned to the apartment after running, only to find that the door of Chen Xi's room was still open, and there was no one inside. She glanced at the clock on the wall, and felt a little strange in her heart, because Chen Xi rarely didn't go home at night, and wanted to call her, but she was afraid that she was just sleeping at a friend's house, and this point happened to be the time for her to sleep.
After thinking about it for a while, Qing Huan still chose not to make this call, thinking that he would wait until he came back from work to take a look.
As soon as she turned on the computer at the company, she saw a message from Miss Ning and asked her to go to her office. Qing Huan sat in his position for a while, then got up and walked slowly in the direction of Miss Ning's office.
After knocking on the door and entering, she met Miss Ning's slightly inquiring gaze, but she pretended not to see anything, stood in place, and asked softly, "Manager, are you looking for me?"
"You stop the project at hand, and then familiarize yourself with this information as soon as possible, and prepare to take the lead on this project. Miss Ning handed her a copy of the document and said.
Qing Huan was stunned, took the information in his hand, and asked puzzled after turning two pages: "Now we don't have any products related to the unmanned driving sector, and the promotion of new products is currently going well, is it a pity to give up like this?"
Miss Ning smiled slightly, "It's not that you want to give up your existing project, but that you give it to the rest of the people, and you can concentrate on following up on the current project." ”
"Wouldn't my qualifications be too shallow to follow up on this project?" Qing Huan said slowly as he placed the finished document on Miss Ning's desk.
"No," Miss Ning seemed to expect her to say this, and the corners of her lips hooked up a meaningful smile, "The person who is looking for the other party in this project is Chen Yidong, and it would be best for you to follow up." ”
Sure enough, as she thought, Qing Huan sighed in her heart, and then looked at Miss Ning's gaze with some disappointment, she said word by word: "Manager, I won't take this project." ”
"What did you say?" asked Miss Ning with a slight squint.
"I said I wouldn't take on this project. Qing Huan calmly repeated.
"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, once the project is completed, your reward will be unimaginably rich, others can't ask for it, and you actually told me that you don't do it?" Miss Ning's voice was still flat, but her gaze was a little calm.
"What others want is not necessarily what I want, manager, you should know in your heart what was going on at yesterday's dinner, and now let me be in charge of this project, just because the person in charge is Chen Yidong, and you all think that I and him will go through what last night, and finding me to be in charge of this project can just catch his line and save a lot of unnecessary trouble." Qing Huan paused and smiled sarcastically, "But I'm going to disappoint you, I have nothing to do with him, even if you ask me to be in charge of this project, he won't compromise or anything because of me." ”
After the words fell, the entire office suddenly fell silent, Miss Ning didn't make a sound, just stared at Qing Huan for a while, and then sneered, "Gu Qinghuan, I don't think you want to do it anymore." ”
An hour later, Qing Huan dragged back to the apartment with heavy steps, and she listlessly threw her bag on the sofa casually, and lay down herself.
Until now, her palms were still a little cold sweat, what happened to her just now, she actually talked to her top boss like that, so completely reckless, she guessed that if it weren't for the fact that she hadn't figured out the relationship between herself and Chen Yidong, and had some scruples, she would have been shouted to get out of here today, right?
However, there is not much difference between the meaning of taking a long vacation and asking her to leave, maybe when they go to Chen Yidong to clarify their relationship with him, it is estimated that they will come to notify her to go through the resignation procedures...... I didn't expect to escape this fate in the end.
Qing Huan sighed leisurely, lying on the sofa, only to feel that his brain was still messed up, so he simply didn't think about anything, closed his eyes, anyway, the words had already been spoken, and it was too late to take it back.
She thought as she fell asleep in a daze.
When she woke up again, the sky outside the window had completely darkened, Qing Huan rubbed her eyes and slowly sat up straight, and when she turned her head, she inadvertently saw Chen Xi's bedroom door still open, she was stunned for a moment, could it be that Chen Xi never came back?
Qing Huan woke up most of the time from sleep, she took out her mobile phone, found Chen Xi's number and dialed it.
The beep sounded only twice, and she heard a noise from the door, like the sound of opening the door, Qing Huan hurriedly hung up the phone, stood up, and looked in the direction of the door.
After the door was pushed open, she saw Chen Xi walking in with her head down, her hair scattered, wearing an off-the-shoulder skirt, the makeup on her face had been completely spent, and she looked exhausted.
"Xiaoxi, what's wrong with you, is something wrong?" Qing Huan stood up with some surprise and asked.
Chen Xi probably didn't expect someone at home, because there was no light in the living room, and Qinghuan usually worked a lot of overtime, so she didn't expect her to arrive home at this time, so she was startled when she heard her voice, and involuntarily took two steps back.
This retreat time allowed Qing Huan to see half of her red and swollen face.
"Xiaoxi, what's wrong with you?" Qing Huan couldn't help but cover her mouth and let out a low breath, and then walked over quickly to check on her situation.
