Chapter 17: Encounter
At seven o'clock in the morning, the mobile phone alarm rang, Qinghuan reached out and pressed it, and got up in a daze to go to the bathroom to take a shower. After packing up, go to work.
She was slightly uncomfortable after drinking last night, and she usually smelled bread with the aroma of butter and cream, but today she smelled a little uncomfortable, so she just wanted a cup of American, and then took her coffee and rubbed her temples and walked towards the elevator of the building.
It's still early, and there are still very few people waiting for the elevator. Qing Huan saw a tall figure there from a distance, and when he got closer, he realized that it was Miss Ning. As soon as I walked to the elevator, I heard a "ding" sound, and the elevator door opened.
The time was just right, she hurriedly walked into the elevator, only to find that there were only herself and Miss Ning inside, so she smiled and said hello, "Sister Ning is early." ”
Miss Ning also smiled and nodded at her, which was regarded as a greeting. After the elevator sank down, it slowly went up,
There was silence in the elevator for a while, and after a few seconds, Miss Ning said as if inadvertently: "Qinghuan, did you go to Chairman Zhonghai's business banquet last night? I saw a person's back at that time, which looked like yours." ”
Qing Huan was slightly stunned, and a trace of unnaturalness flashed on his face, "Well, there is a friend who temporarily lacks a female companion, let me accompany him." ”
Miss Ning let out an "oh" and nodded, but did not continue to ask, when the elevator happened to reach their floor, and the door slowly opened again.
"I looked at your new stats last night, and it's pretty good, come on. After stepping out of the elevator, Miss Ning smiled at her, and then turned and walked towards her office.
Qing Huan stood in place for two seconds, watching Miss Ning's figure disappear from her sight, and for a moment she was a little unsure of what she meant by what she said today, and was there anything wrong with the banquet she accompanied Chen Yidong to last night? She thought thoughtfully, but she couldn't figure it out.
Because the more I think about it, the more my head swells, and it's really uncomfortable.
Blame yourself, what did you do with so much wine last night? Qing Huan rubbed his forehead and walked towards his seat helplessly.
"Sister Qinghuan, I booked a place in FLM in the evening, and called Gao Lei and the two of them after work, how about we celebrate in advance?" Xiaoxi rolled up to Qing Huan like a gust of wind, and said with a flutter of eyebrows, "The location of FLM is not easy to book, if I don't have a buddy who is the foreman in it, and said that someone temporarily quit the position at night, it may not be booked." ”
"Isn't it too early to celebrate?" Qinghuan asked as she looked at her amusedly.
"It's all at this juncture, everything is in order, unless Chen Fei conjures up more than a dozen customers out of thin air, otherwise it is basically impossible for him to surpass us. Xiaoxi said disapprehantly, and then looked at Qing Huan with innocent eyes like a small animal: "Let's go, let's go, Fulinmen's abalone rice is delicious, I guarantee that you will never forget its taste after eating it once." ”
Qing Huan glanced at her angrily, but the corners of her mouth were smiling, "I think someone is greedy......"
Konishi's cheeks were red, but he argued forcefully: "How can there be ......?"
In the evening, Qinghuan and they still went to Fulinmen, and when they arrived, the waiter led them directly to a table in the middle of the restaurant, and a large table sat the four of them, which seemed a little empty.
Fu Linmen is a very famous high-end Cantonese restaurant in S City, and it is usually difficult to find a table, but I didn't expect Xiaoxi to be able to get such a big table, which made Qing Huan a little surprised, and I had to admire her wide range of friends.
"Xiaoxi, to be honest, are you a relative of the boss or have a special relationship with him, you can book such a good position. Gao Lei lifted his glasses and said jokingly.
"Hmph, if I'm a relative of the boss or have something to do with him, do I need to work hard? Wouldn't it be nice to sit at home and enjoy the happiness?" Xiao Xi glanced at him and said.
"Maybe you are not willing to live a dull and content life with the status quo, and want to seek some excitement and personal value, so you come out to work? Maybe we all think you are a wage earner like us, but in fact you are a runaway daughter......" Wu Han sat on the side and added.
Gao Lei and Qing Huan couldn't help but laugh when he said this.
"You've watched too many romance dramas, haven't you? Xiaoxi was stunned for a moment, and then squeezed out a sentence from his mouth angrily.
While the four of them were giggling and joking with each other, Konishi accidentally noticed a man behind them on the left side of their position, constantly looking at him.
"Sister Qinghuan, do you know that person, why does he keep looking at you?" she couldn't help whispering in Qinghuan's ear.
Qing Huan followed her line of sight, but saw that it was Zhang Yuan, who was sitting behind him with a young and beautiful girl.
"I don't know him, maybe he knows the wrong person. Qing Huan turned her head expressionlessly and said.
"But he's coming in our direction. Xiaoxi glanced in Zhang Yuan's direction again and said a little strangely.
Qing Huan glanced back again, and sure enough, she saw Zhang Yuan walking towards her, she frowned slightly, lowered her head and took a sip of mango bird's nest, and did not speak.
"Qinghuan, long time no see. After Zhang Yuan walked over, he smiled and spoke.
Xiaoxi turned his head and glanced at her suspiciously, didn't he say he didn't know her just now?
Qing Huan was a little helpless, but he couldn't say anything in public, so he had to hook the corners of his mouth slightly and pull out a reluctant smile, "Hello, long time no see." ”
"I happened to accompany my girlfriend over to dinner, and when I saw you, I came over to say hello. Zhang Yuan said to Qing Huan with a smile, but a trace of indisputable emotion flashed in his eyes.
"Is that your girlfriend? Pretty looking. Qing Huan said casually, the curvature of the corners of his mouth became more and more obvious. So now you're here to demonstrate against yourself?" she thought sarcastically.
After Zhang Yuan said hello, he didn't say anything more, and then turned around and walked towards his seat.
"Sister Qinghuan, do you know anyone?" After he left, Xiaoxi asked with a gossipy face, "Didn't you say that you recognized the wrong person just now?"
"My former college classmates haven't seen each other for a long time and haven't recognized them. Qing Huan stirred the bird's nest in the cup and replied a little perfunctorily.
Xiaoxi let out an "oh", but did not continue to ask.
When she was about to finish eating, Qing Huan got up and went to the bathroom, and when she came out, she saw Zhang Yuan standing in the corridor connecting the bathroom and the hall, smoking a cigarette with his head down.
She paused, took a deep breath, and prepared to walk briskly past him.
"Qinghuan ......" When passing by him, Zhang Yuan suddenly extinguished the cigarette butt and raised his head.
"What do you want to do?" Qing Huan turned around, quickly took two steps back, opened a safe distance from him, and spoke with a wary expression.
"I didn't mean anything else, I just wanted to have a few words with you. Zhang Yuan said with a wry smile.
Qing Huan frowned inadvertently, "I don't think we have anything else to say." ”
"Am I just so annoying to you?" Zhang Yuan looked at her deeply, with a trace of reluctance in his eyes, "Qinghuan, what I said to you last time was sincere, if you want, I ......"
"Zhang Yuan, don't you think it's inappropriate to say these things on such an occasion?" Qing Huan interrupted him sharply, "Your girlfriend is still waiting for you outside." ”
Zhang Yuan looked at her and was silent for a while, and then slowly spoke: "I understand......"
Qing Huan didn't speak again, turned around and left.
After returning to her seat, she was not in the mood to continue eating, she hastily drank a bowl of soup, and left with Xiaoxi and them, standing on the side of the street waiting for the bus, she suddenly saw Zhang Yuan's car coming out of the parking lot, and when he passed by his side, he looked ahead without squinting, and the girl's head was leaning on his arm, looking shy.
"It's still early, why don't we find another place to sit?" Konishi raised his wrist and glanced at the time, suggesting.
After all, they are all young people, and this is the time to like to play at such an age, Gao Lei and Wu Han nodded hurriedly after hearing it and said okay, Qing Huan was a little tired, but seeing their high spirits, it was not good to spoil the fun, so they also nodded, but they made up their minds to sit for a while and leave.
A few people found a bar, sat down in the middle, ordered a beer and a fruit bowl, and then sat there to enjoy the singer's performance.
"Thank you for coming to XX Bar, and then bring you Tanya Tsai's "Don't Trouble Me"" The girl on the stage said with a smile while holding the microphone, and then the keyboardist and bass player in the back played the prelude to the music.
With the sound of the beat, the girl's sexy and magnetic voice sounded:
"Is it deliberate?
Or am I declining this time, and everything is miscalculated this day
Just want to make a turn
But I went around to the airport and found that I had no money on me
Ah~ah~ Dark clouds, go away,
DO YOU KNOW THAT I DON'T OFTEN BRING AN UMBRELLA WITH AN UMBRELLA OH~WOO~
Dark clouds, dark clouds, go away
I feel like you're challenging my optimistic optimism OH~WOO~
How do you want to drive me crazy?
Please do me a favor
Dark clouds, dark clouds, don't bother me"
……
"I didn't expect this girl to sing very well, quite a taste. After hearing this, Konishi said in admiration.
A hint of strangeness flashed on Qing Huan's face, she felt that the girl on the stage when she came just now was a little familiar-isn't this Chen Xi?!
When she came in, because she was far away, and she wore stage makeup, she didn't recognize it for a while, but when she opened her mouth to sing, she was sure that it was really her.
Unexpectedly, she came to the bar where Chen Xi performed by mistake, she might have found out that she had just found out, and she looked here twice more when she was singing.
Qing Huan was thinking about it, and at this time, the performance on stage was also over, and after Chen Xi came down, he walked directly towards her.
