109. There's no need to make yourself so hard
Qiao Man returned to the room and put aside the mobile phone sent by Guo Zhendong.
She is not a person who takes things from people casually, and now she has received such a valuable gift, not to mention, she is neither her boyfriend nor her husband, she can't accept it anyway.
Only, find a suitable opportunity to exchange a gift of equal value for him.
I don't have a lot of time to think about it, after all, work matters.
Qiao Man shook his head and threw away all the things he didn't want to think about now.
Next, she began to busy putting the video shot in the DVD into the computer for editing. Of course, she had to watch it from beginning to end before editing, and she picked up a pack of dried mangoes and ate it while watching the video on the computer.
Suddenly, Qiao Man's serious gaze was fixed on a certain point in the video.
She paused and pressed the pause button.
Why did she record the part when Huo Yingqi left the venue?
Look at this time again, it is the time when Huo Yingqi left with Huang Ruier, because after the ribbon cutting, they left holding in hand, she was ...... Have you ever turned to look at him for so long?
She remembered taking a look at herself, then turning around and continuing to stand up.
Xiu frowned slightly, Qiao Man's hand gently held the mouse, and quickly cut out the section.
Then, her gaze continued to stay on the computer, although she continued to look, her mind was no longer at peace because of this, and her gaze was still a little uncertain.
After finishing the night, I returned to the bedroom and lay in the dark, but I had insomnia all night, and there were many images flashing in my mind, including the scene where Huo Yingqi walked towards her at the event today.
By Tuesday morning, it was raining in Kyoto.
Qiao Man stood at the door of the hotel lobby with a camera bag and an umbrella, looking at the rain curtain, a little dazed.
With such a heavy rain, your shoes will definitely get wet when you go out, and the umbrella is not very big, and it is a bad thing if the camera equipment gets wet.
"With such heavy rain, do you still want to go to the event venue?"
The magnetic male voice sounded, and Qiao Man turned his head to see that Guo Zhendong was standing beside him.
"Work, even if it's windy and rainy, even if the sky is falling apart, you have to move forward. ”
"I was watching the rain and thought you wouldn't go out in the hotel, so I happened to come over and talk to you. Unexpectedly, I just came over, and I saw you going out from afar. Actually, Xiaoman, you really don't need to work so yourself, look at me, I already have my own company, you can ......"
Afraid that Guo Zhendong would say something like confessing his love at the crowded gate, Qiao Man hurriedly interrupted him: "Actually, this job is also where I am interested, because I like this thing, so no matter how hard it is, it is worth it." What's more, it's just raining, and when we are studying, isn't it all going rain or shine?"
Guo Zhendong looked at her deeply.
"If I didn't come, how are you going to get there?"
"Walk over, or take a taxi, you can't fly over!"
"Looking at this bad weather, you still have the heart to joke?"
"It's just raining, it's much better than the typhoon in the south, isn't it?"
"You, I really don't know what to say about you, let's go, get in the car, I'll send you over. ”
"Zhendong, don't bother you, I can actually go over by myself. ”
"Get in the car, I'm going to go over to run errands, along the way. ”
Knowing that Guo Zhendong had already driven the car over, Qiao Man couldn't refuse.
She got down the stairs, got into the car, and said while shaking the rain on her umbrella, "Zhendong, how many days are you going to stay in Kyoto?"
"Why? You want to get rid of me so soon?"
was guessed by someone, Qiao Man was a little embarrassed, but he didn't admit it, shook his head and said, "No, I just thought that you still have a job in the company to care about." ”
"Well, I came to Kyoto to work, after all, the information of the trend is the most concentrated here, and I will go back when I get things done. How about I take you with me and drive back?"
"Oh, I may not be that early, it should take some time for the newsroom series to be completed. ”
Guo Zhendong hooked the corners of his mouth and said with a smile: "Focus on work! By the way, you haven't had time to go to the most famous snack bar here when you come to Kyoto, right? I'll wait for you to finish your work tonight and take you to taste some special food." ”
"Zhendong, just send me to the south gate of the activity center, I have a lot of things to do these days, I'm very busy, and I guess I'll go back a little later today, don't wait for me, go eat by yourself." ”
"What's wrong, there's a dinner?"
"yes. ”
Guo Zhendong didn't say anything more, and drove her all the way to her destination.
When he got out of the car, he turned around and handed her the umbrella, Qiao Man opened the car door, opened the umbrella, held the bag behind his back with one hand, and hurried to the activity center.
As she was running, she came to the south gate, and because she was running too fast, the heel of her foot suddenly collided with the slow belt in the door, and she was unstable, and with a low cry, she threw herself straight to the ground.
"Hey, miss, are you alright?"
A security guard who came over from nowhere next to her helped her, she hurriedly stood firm, raised her head, and smiled gratefully at the security guard: "It's okay, it's okay, thank you!"
The security guard smiled shyly, didn't say anything, turned around and walked in the other direction.
She stood up, and although the knock was not very heavy, it still hurt a little.
On occasions like these, there's really no time to bare your teeth.
After standing for a while, Qiao Man walked towards the crowded place.
I saw several business elites from all walks of life with outstanding figures surrounding a man in a black suit, speaking respectfully.
Could it be that Fok Yingqi is here again?
The last time he appeared at the event, it was like this.
Qiao Man's heart was overjoyed for no reason, and he walked over quickly.
Take a closer look, where is Huo Yingqi?
This man in a black suit really looks like Huo Yingqi in terms of height and back, but when he saw the front, he found that there was no resemblance.
When the man saw Qiao Man walking quickly, he glanced at the ID card hanging on her chest, thinking that it was a reporter who was preparing to interview, and smiled very politely.
Qiao Man also pursed his lips and smiled, nodded, and turned to leave.
It's really strange, where did this sense of loss come from?
After taking a few steps, she still couldn't help but turn her head and lock her eyes on the slender and upright figure.
The back is so similar.
It can be seen that Fok Yingqi has an excellent appearance and characteristics that stand out from the crowd.
At this moment, she felt a little pride and pride inexplicably because of Huo Yingqi.
Today's event was far less crowded than yesterday because of the heavy rain.
It was a rare heavy rain in Kyoto, and the weather forecast said that there would be rain, but most of the time the event was indoors, and the rain in the north was never as strong as in the south, so everyone did not stop the enthusiasm for the event.
Unexpectedly, the rain got a little out of control, and it became heavier and heavier.
Qiao Man quickly went to shoot and took the opportunity to interview several artists.
During the lunch break, the activity center gradually went less, and the organizer of the event said that because of the weather, the rain became heavier and heavier, and it was very inconvenient to travel, and the afternoon activities would be suspended, and the weather would improve tomorrow and then notify her until the day after tomorrow, she put away her things and left.
originally thought that the dinner in the evening would be canceled at all, but who knew that before she walked out of the activity center, He Yunxiang's urging call came again.
"You must go, you take our salesman Xiao Chen with you. In case you want to drink, Xiao Chen's amount of alcohol is very good. ”
Qiao Man naturally knew the importance of this contract, if it wasn't for He Yunxiang really couldn't leave, she wouldn't have to go.
It's just that since I've taken over the burden, I'm sure I'm going to go out and break through.
After all, she is the one who came out to work, and asked He Yunxiang to treat her equally, if she doesn't accept this job, she is afraid of being tired of that job, how can she persevere?
"Don't worry, I promised you yesterday, and I will definitely go back today. Besides, I don't dare to release your pigeons no matter whose pigeons I release. ”
"You are so arrogant, where is there anything you don't dare? However, I told you in advance, whether you can stay in Kyoto or not, I will see your performance today. ”
"Don't worry, if you leave it to me, you will succeed immediately. ”
Qiao Man was extremely confident, and her words made He Yunxiang on the other end of the phone laugh.
In fact, what he didn't tell Qiao Man was that now he was working on the transfer of the editorial department, and once Qiao Man agreed to stay in Kyoto, he would definitely move the headquarters of the editorial department to Kyoto.
Where she is, he is.
At 7 p.m., Kyoto's most prestigious hotel.
Knowing that Mr. Ke in Kyoto was treated, it was estimated that it would be a rare luxury feast, but he didn't expect the luxury to be so extravagant.
As soon as Qiao Man entered the banquet hall, he found that the hall, which had been completely occupied by private individuals, was already full of staggered places, and four or five round tables were scattered around in a fancy way.
In fact, He Yunxiang told her that the time was half past seven, and she was worried about being late, so she came half an hour early.
After all, she is just a small role, since she was invited in the name of the editorial department, it is not good if she doesn't come, and it is even more unseemly to come too late, so it's good to come at this time.
Who knows, Mr. Ke and they also came early.
As soon as she entered, she swept Mr. Ke's figure in those tables, she walked over and said a few words of greeting politely, and was arranged to another table.
Qiao Man glanced at it, and the main table was filled with big entrepreneurs and chairmen who cut the ribbon at the event, and she was indeed a small character.
Just when she was about to ignore the curious eyes of the strangers at the table, pick up the chopsticks and plan to fill her stomach first, the door of a box next to the banquet hall was suddenly opened, she raised her eyes and glanced at the box lightly, and then continued to pick up a chopstick thing and put it into the plate in front of her, but it was a slump on the ground, the hand holding the chopsticks paused, and then raised her eyes to look at the box, and from her side, she just saw Guo Zhendong talking and laughing in the box.
Mr. Ke opened the door of the box and was about to walk in, but suddenly seemed to remember something, turned his head and glanced in the banquet hall, and when he saw Qiao Man, he suddenly walked towards her with a smile.
"Miss Qiao, you just said that you are from the "Blue Eye" magazine in Bincheng, right?" Mr. Ke suddenly looked at her with a smile, and stretched out his hand towards her as he spoke.
Qiao Man hurriedly put down his chopsticks, stood up and shook his hand, and replied, "Yes, I was sent to Kyoto by the editorial department to work." ”
When she answered, she smiled politely, it is said that He Yunxiang is trying her best to win over the relationship with this Mr. Ke, she can't offend people and make trouble for He Yunxiang.
Mr. Ke suddenly smiled meaningfully, and said close to her ear: "I just drank until I fainted and almost forgot, come on, come on, how can you sit at this table, quickly enter the table in the box and sit, it just so happens that there are a few leaders in your Bincheng, all of them are fellow villagers, let's sit down and have a few drinks together!"
"I'm not going, it's good to sit here, Mr. Ke, you're busy with you, don't worry about me, this table is really good, and my alcohol is average, I'm afraid it will ruin your interest." She froze secretly, and gradually straightened her complexion.
"How can I do that, how can I let you sit at this table?" Mr. Ke grabbed her hand excitedly and pulled her towards the box. "Since it is the special care of Editor-in-Chief He, with my friendship with Editor-in-Chief He, and I am also born in Bincheng, I am half a Bincheng person, how can I not invite you in to have a drink together!"
"Still no......" Qiao Man only felt his scalp tingle.
Xiao Chen, who was following along, stood up and said politely: "Mr. Ke, Editor Qiao doesn't know how to drink, so I'll toast you with a glass of wine on her behalf." ”
Mr. Ke said coldly: "I won't force Miss Qiao to drink, I just said that they are all fellow villagers in Penang, go over and have a good time, Miss Qiao...... You're not going to give you this face, are you?"
Qiao Man turned his head, shook his head slightly at Xiao Chen, signaled him to leave it alone, then picked up the cup and said with a smile: "Okay, just listen to Mr. Ke's arrangement." ”
This Mr. Ke was so enthusiastic that he had no choice but to bite the bullet and follow him into the box in front of him.
There was a mutual flattery on the table, and when Mr. Ke took Qiao Man's hand and walked into the box, everyone's eyes looked at them.
Most of these so-called business elites are pot-bellied, and about seven or eight people are scattered around a table.
The dishes don't seem to be much different from the outside, but they are actually richer.
Qiao Man took a slight look and began to smack his tongue.
"Who is this young lady?"
Someone asked, and when he saw that Mr. Ke was holding her hand, he smiled ambiguously, thinking that the two of them had some shady relationship.
Guo Zhendong always sat there calmly, and when they walked into the box, although they saw Qiao Man, their calm eyes only fell on her faintly.
The initial surprise was fleeting, and the ink-colored eyes were faint and cold, and there was not the slightest emotion to be seen.
"Come, let me introduce to you, this is Xiao Qiao, the editor of Bincheng's "Blue Eye" magazine!" Mr. Ke was still smiling with interest, but he didn't introduce too much, pushed Qiao Man's shoulder, and motioned for her to sit down. "Hurry up, Miss Qiao, sit down first, sit down first!"
A group of people didn't know the situation, Qiao Man was also stiff, and at the moment when he met Guo Zhendong's lukewarm gaze, he only felt that he didn't seem to be here today.
remembered that Guo Zhendong invited her to taste the food in the morning, but now she appeared on such an occasion of singing and dancing.
In just an instant, she had already sat down at the table, nodding a little awkwardly and politely at the various glances and doubts cast around her.
Fortunately, she was still not the protagonist at this table, and everyone just looked at her for a while, seeing that it was a small role, and after a while, they continued to return to the lively atmosphere of the drinking party before.
She never looked up, and she deliberately avoided looking at a certain person, but when everyone raised her glass, she was sitting on the table, and she was bound to meet everyone's actions and raise her glass.
The moment she raised her eyes, she was caught off guard and met Guo Zhendong's secretive eyes again, she sighed secretly, only feeling embarrassed.
"Mr. Guo, this Miss Qiao is the backbone of your cutting-edge media in Bincheng, presumably the two must know each other, right?"
After three rounds of drinking, Mr. Ke suddenly smiled and began to thread the needle and lead various introductions.
Guo Zhendong rolled his eyes as if inadvertently, and his eyes fell on her face as if he were nothing.
Qiao Man, in order not to be too embarrassed, spoke first: "Mr. Guo has every opportunity, a little person like me...... Didn't see each other much. ”
Everyone understands that there is no intersection at all, but there are not many occasions to meet, which shows that they are not very familiar with each other.
Guo Zhendong's eyes did not change, his sparse eyebrows raised slightly, and said: "Miss Qiao, I am serious, I am in a hurry on weekdays, since I am destined to meet here today, why don't you have a drink?"
That sentence was destined to meet, and he deliberately slowed down his speech.
As soon as his words fell, Qiao Man's face froze, and when he saw someone next to her pour a whole glass of liquor into her cup, his face suddenly turned faintly blue.
Where does she drink?
And it's a full glass of liquor, it's really going to kill her.
In an instant, Guo Zhendong's unwavering eyes were dyed with a hint of ridicule, and he raised his glass to her: "Miss Qiao, please." ”
"This is the first time that Mr. Guo has taken the initiative to ask a woman for wine at the wine table, which is really rare. "Someone was heckling.
"Miss Qiao is so beautiful and capable, she can come to Kyoto to be alone, even I want to have a toast, who knows that we Mr. Guo will take the lead!"
"yes, I'd like to have a toast too. ”
Hearing everyone speak, Qiao Man's face turned even whiter.
I don't know who the people at this table are, since they are all related to Mr. Ke, and all of them are from Bincheng, there must be an intricate connection.
As soon as she entered the box, she found that most of the men at the table were greeting Guo Zhendong, and they were toasting more diligently than the other, and now this was another opportunity, as if they wanted to promote something good.
"What's the matter? Miss Qiao doesn't know how to drink, or she doesn't want to drink this glass of wine from Mr. Guo?"
She can see that this Mr. Ke clearly didn't plan to let her come off the stage, saying that he wanted her to sit at a table with the fellow villagers in Bincheng, which was nothing more than asking her to come over and drink with her to increase her popularity.
In everyone's expectant eyes, Qiao Man raised his hand to hold the wine glass in front of him, looked at the glass full of liquor, took a deep breath, and raised his eyes to meet Guo Zhendong's unfathomable gaze.
In normal times, Guo Zhendong would never let her be so embarrassed, let alone in front of a table of men, and she would have to embarrass her, a woman who can't drink, to drink this glass of liquor.
Hell yes!
In the rain this morning, she thought that he Guo Zhendong was a good person, but now that she looks at it, she can see how outrageously wrong she is!
Didn't you just want to embarrass her?
In front of so many people, if she really refused this glass of wine, I'm afraid she would be really embarrassed!
Isn't it because she refused his gift and didn't want to go back to Bincheng with him, so he was a little annoyed and angry, and he just took this opportunity to humiliate her?
So that she thinks that without his care, she might become miserable?
Thinking so, Qiao Man raised his eyes and glanced at Guo Zhendong, trying to see a trace of emotion in the man's eyes
Nothing!
Really, the eyes are a little floating, nothing is there.
This made Qiao Man suddenly surprised.
Perhaps, since she was a student, she has never seen Guo Zhendong clearly.
What kind of man is he, what kind of character does he have, what kind of family influence does he have, and what kind of attitude does he have towards love and marriage......
She has never seriously understood these problems.
Pure admiration and seeing are just confusing appearances.
Qiao Man turned his heart sideways, raised his glass, raised his eyes and smiled politely at Guo Zhendong: "Mr. Guo, it's an honor!
After that, he drank the full glass of wine with the bottom of the glass facing up for everyone to see.
When she put the cup down, she choked on the hot liquid in her throat and coughed uncomfortably.
The table was full of applause, and everyone exclaimed: "I really can't see that Miss Qiao has a good amount of alcohol!"
Guo Zhendong raised his glass quietly, looking at her face that was flushed by the rapidly rising wine, and the wine glass was sent to his lips and he drank it all.
"Good! good--" everyone laughed.
"I'm a weak woman, a glass of wine, Mr. Guo's dignified seven-foot man, it's also a cup, I'm afraid it's unfair. ”
Hearing Qiao Man say this, Guo Zhendong was stunned for a moment, and then hooked the corners of his mouth.
Mr. Ke was busy playing the round: "Yes, yes, Mr. Guo must add a penalty." ”
Qiao Man stopped talking, just looked at Guo Zhendong's filled wine glass.
Since he didn't let her go at the wine table, why did she pity him?
Come on, hurt each other!
Seeing Guo Zhendong drink it all again, everyone's applause became even warmer.
"It is said that heroes are sad to pass the beauty pass, our Mr. Guo has never drunk so fast, so urgently, what a good amount of wine!"
Qiao Man picked up the mineral water that was not moving next to him, unscrewed a bottle, and poured it down.
Just hoping that the mineral water can neutralize the concentration of the wine in her abdomen, she really feels that her stomach is on fire.
Mr. Ke is also a good person, taking advantage of the highest heat of the wine bureau, he immediately stood up from his seat and said to Guo Zhendong: "Mr. Guo, you have taken a break from your busy schedule to come, which is considered a big face for a few of our buddies, and we must have more exchanges between Kyoto and Bincheng in the future." ”
