2. Chapter 2

Meng Jing's words made Chen turn his head suddenly.

It's just that before the joy that came up filled his heart, his eyes dimmed slightly, and he raised his eyebrows to answer a sentence, which made her stunned for a moment.

The car fell silent for five seconds.

In her stunned expression, Meng Jing raised her eyebrows slightly.

"You heard me right, I did say...... 'I'm more interested in you than investing.'"

As if he was afraid that Chen Qing was not sure, he deliberately repeated it.

"Mr. Meng......" Chen Qing only glanced at him and looked away awkwardly, and found a random place on his face to freeze, "I'm a bit rammed, this kind of joke ......"

In the past few hours of getting along, his attitude towards himself has always been dispensable, and the last action of throwing money shows that he only regards her as a food companion to accompany him, why did he suddenly change his attitude in an instant?

She's not that stupid, she knows how many pounds and taels she has.

"If it's all right, I'll go first...... Thank you for sending me back. She nodded, stuck her other foot out of the car door, and her arm was suddenly caught by someone behind her.

It was just a moment, and after successfully stopping her movements, Meng Jing let go of her hand.

"Are you afraid?" He raised his eyebrows, as if surprised.

"No, I'm just ......" I wanted to say but couldn't say anything, Chen Qing felt that he was short of words, and finally swallowed all the words back, tightened his bag, and stepped out of the small space in the car.

The car door closed and she was about to leave, when Meng Jing suddenly lowered the window and said lightly: "I'll contact you later." ”

It's still that dispensable tone, with a hint of non-refusal.

Before Chen Qing could speak, the window of the car had already been raised, and he drove away with the car in front of him.

She pursed her lips and stood for a moment, then turned and walked towards the neighborhood.

When I got home, I smelled a faint fragrance in the air as soon as I entered the door.

Qin Han stuck his head out of the kitchen: "Back?" ”

"Hmm." Chen answered lightly, hung the bag on the clothes rack, and walked in with his slippers.

Passing around the corner from the hallway, she grabbed one of the darts hanging on the wall and threw it at the dartboard above the TV before sitting down on the couch.

Qin Han followed up in the living room and glanced at the dartboard.

The TV was unharmed, and the dart that Chen Qing threw out hit the red heart - and naturally it was precisely inserted into the nose of the person in the photo.

It was a photo cut out of a magazine, and the man in the picture was handsome, but he had been glued to the dart board for a long time, and his face was full of dart marks.

"It didn't work out." Chen Qing pinched his eyebrows tiredly.

Qin Han retracted his gaze, saw that her face was not good, and comforted: "It's okay, I know you did your best." ”

In fact, I didn't have much hope in the first place.

"I cooked the soup, you drink some and then go to sleep." He said.

Chen Qing said yes. In order to see Meng Jing, she prepared for a day, and at night she just watched him eat, and she didn't move her chopsticks much, and her stomach was still empty at this time.

The two moved to the restaurant, one of them served a bowl of soup, and chatted while drinking, Chen Qing briefly told Qin Han about the meeting with Meng Jing, but omitted the part of the fight at the end.

"I can't get Meng Jing's investment, I can think of other ways, you don't care, sleep well at night." Qin Han smiled at her and relieved her heart.

Chen Qing knew that he was comforting himself, it was not easy for them to come together over the years, and it took a lot of hard work to have a small company, the foundation was too shallow, and it was a dead end if they couldn't turn around.

There was something in their hearts that couldn't be relaxed, they didn't say more, after drinking the soup, Chen Qing sent Qin Han to the door and admonished: "Be careful on the road." ”

Qin Han looked at her, she was lowering her eyes, her eyelashes were shadowing her lower eyelids, and her face was as white as paper.

He couldn't help but reach out and touch the top of her hair.

"You ......"

Before he finished speaking, Chen Qingli turned his head like an electric shock to avoid his movements, and his big hand was stuck in the air like that.

The two were stunned at the same time, the air became inexplicably embarrassed, and Chen moved his lips lightly: "I ......"

"Go to bed early." He withdrew his hand, hiding the flicker of loss in his eyes, and smiled.

As soon as she walked out, Qin Han suddenly stopped, turned around and took out the key to her house from her pocket and returned it to her: "I won't come in without permission next time." ”

Chen Qing's gaze moved from the key in his palm to the bottom, and swept over his left hand, which only had four fingers, and his throat choked inexplicably for a moment.

“…… Never mind. She whispered, echoed by his chuckle.

And the back door closes, the footsteps fade away, and the shadows are slow, silently surrounded.

On Friday, Chen Qing went to the company to go around, and the situation has been bad recently, and several models whose contracts have expired have found another way out, making people panic, and the atmosphere is so low that people are uncomfortable panting, and she only stayed for a while before coming out.

She took out her mobile phone and looked at it, it had been seven days since the last time she had dinner with Meng Jing, and she hadn't received any calls from him, presumably what he said that night was really as she thought, just a casual promise on a whim.

Qin Han was not in the company, Chen Qing called him and asked him about the company, and he still said the same thing on the phone as last time: "I will find a way, you don't have to worry, just leave it to me." ”

Looking at the screen that returned to the main interface after the call, Chen stood for a while and returned home with a heavy heart.

At half past three in the afternoon, Chen Qing took a bath and was about to go back to his room to take a nap, when the mobile phone on the table suddenly rang, the screen flickered, and three words were displayed at the caller: Xu Huanhuan.

As soon as it was connected, the shrill sound pierced through the eardrum, and Chen Qing couldn't help but tilt his head sideways, slightly away from the earpiece.

"Chen Qing?! Come to me right now! Hurry up! I'll give you half an hour, and I'll take a taxi right away! Be sure to be fast! ”

"I ......"

There was a busy sound from the earpiece, Chen glanced at his phone, sighed silently, and immediately went back to his room to change clothes.

Xu Huanhuan's tone was so anxious, there must be something urgent.

After packing up and going out, she flagged down a taxi and rushed over, but she could only get off a few minutes away from her destination because of road repairs.

Chen ran wildly, and when she was halfway through the bag, the mobile phone rang, she took it out, glanced at the unfamiliar caller number, and answered it breathlessly.

"Miss Chen, please come to our company immediately, I will wait for you in the office on the seventeenth floor." The stereotypical female voice said.

"What?" Chen Qing frowned as he ran, "May I ask who you are?" ”

"Mr. Meng wants to see you, there is not much time, please come over before 4:20, Mr. Meng doesn't like people who are late."

Chen Qing's brain was stunned for a moment before he reacted: "Wait! I don't...... Yes! ”

Before she finished speaking, she bumped into a passer-by who was playing with her mobile phone with her head down, and threw her phone out with a flick of her hand.

The passerby was knocked down, and it was another theory, perhaps because Chen Qing also fell, but the man did not entangle, patted his clothes and walked away with a calm face.

She picked up the broken phone and pressed the power button tightly, but there was no reaction.

The phone was broken, and thinking of the call that was cut off halfway just now, Chen Qing had a headache.

She put away her phone, raised her eyes and looked ahead, and then thought about Meng Jing, who was uncertain, and finally chose to find Xu Huanhuan.

As soon as she entered Xu Huanhuan's house, Chen Qing was dragged by her to try on all kinds of skirts.

"There is a cocktail party at Huilong Center tonight, and I finally got the invitation letter from Mr. Zheng, you dress up beautifully!"

"Huilong?" Chen was stunned, Huilong is a landmark building in the city, and the identities of the guests present can be imagined when a cocktail party is held in it.

"Have you gained weight lately? Eat less, this waist is a little tight! Xu Huanhuan didn't care about her surprise, straightened her skirt for her, and said with a smile, "Okay, that's it, it looks good!" ”

Although Xu Huanhuan runs a lot of entertainment industries, the business she does is not large, and according to common sense, this kind of drinking party does not have her share. But she had a unique wrist, and the people she knew were gone, and with her communication skills, Chen Qing was not surprised to get this kind of invitation letter that was hard to find by others.

"Sister Huanhuan, are you going to take me?" Chen Qing asked the person standing behind him in the mirror.

"Qin Han's company has encountered some problems? I heard that you hit the second child of the Meng family with your idea......" Xu Huanhuan smiled, "I have heard of him, he is cold and ruthless, and he is still a dime, what do you want to get from him...... If you really want to attract investment, you may be able to find a little turning point at the cocktail party tonight. ”

She made sense.

Chen Qing was silent for a few seconds, lowered his head and touched the folds of his skirt.

“…… Thank you, Sister Huanhuan, for your trouble. ”

Xu Huanhuan took her there, just to find a way for her, no matter how hard she raised her hands or anything else, she deserved to thank her.

"What's this?" Xu Huanhuan smiled and patted her on the back, "You hurry up and put on makeup, I'll go out and make a call!" ”

The reception started at seven o'clock, and the parking lot outside the Huilong venue was full of good cars, because there were many guests, and the security was also tight, and there were three doors at the entrance alone.

Chen Qing followed behind Xu Huanhuan in a long skirt that was not very convenient to move, cautiously.

In the spacious venue, the lights were dazzling, the clothes were fragrant and the temples were staggered, and the waiters in suits and bow ties shuttled between the guests with trays, Xu Huanhuan took a glass of wine and handed a glass of non-alcoholic drink to Chen Qing.

"You follow me, I'll introduce you later, and I'll give you a look if it's easy to move."

Chen nodded lightly, this was the first time she had come to this kind of place, and even her breathing was nervous.

After a few turns, Xu Huanhuan led her to meet a lot of people, and her face was a little stiff with a smile. After greeting the first person, the two leaned against the long table in the corner and stopped to rest for a while.

After standing for less than two minutes, Xu Huanhuan's gaze swept somewhere, and seeing that an acquaintance who usually had a good relationship was also there, he turned his head sideways and said to Chen lightly: "I'll go say hello, don't move." ”

Chen said yes, Xu Huanhuan patted the back of her hand like an admonition, changed her smile, and walked towards the opposite side.

The huge venue was full of people, but there was no one he knew, Chen Qing's feet were a little sore, he changed his standing posture, lowered his eyes and looked at the people around him with his spare light.

She is hidden in the corner, dimly lit and not easy to be seen, and there is a sense of stolen relaxation.

Chen Qingzheng was drinking and tasting the good wine in the glass, when a shadow suddenly overcame, blocking his vision.

She was so frightened that she took a step back, hit her back against the wall, and only then did she stand still, and when she looked up, the person in front of her was Meng Jing, whom she had seen a week ago.

"Meng, Mr. Meng......?"

"How do you wear clothes like this?" Meng Jing's brows furrowed.

He held a wine glass in one hand and a pocket in the other, and the suit on his body was of good texture.

Silver, as flamboyant as his character.
