Chapter 55: Tanabata (1)
Since Cheng Qixin assumed the position of general manager of Cheng's family, the company has not held employee welfare activities.
So, taking advantage of the approach of the Qixi Festival, Cheng Qixin decided to hold a mid-year party on the night of Qixi Festival as a reward for the employees who have worked hard in the past six months.
As the main person in charge of the company, Cheng Qixin naturally had to attend the party, and Ye Xiaojing, as his assistant, had no reason not to participate.
Ever since she learned that she was going to a party, Ye Xiaojing had always been very resistant - the experience of that drinking party had always been her nightmare, and she didn't want to, and she didn't dare to go to any such occasion again!
"Ye Xiaojing, I don't want to force you, but I still hope that you can be brave, for those things that make you afraid, you should find a way to overcome them, instead of blindly escaping-"
Regarding Cheng Qixin's admonition, Ye Xiaojing just kept shaking her head, as long as she remembered that incident, she trembled: "Young master, I beg you, I really don't want to go to the party, I'm afraid!" I'm so scared! β
Looking at Ye Xiaojing's frightened look that he had never seen before, Cheng Qixin's eyes unconsciously flashed with tenderness, and he sighed and said, "Since you are so persistent, then I will no longer force you!" β
Hearing that he agreed to his request, Ye Xiaojing finally breathed a sigh of relief, and thanked him with red eyes: "Thank you, young master!" β
Seeing that she still looked frightened until now, Cheng Qixin unconsciously had a thought in his heart, and he couldn't help asking: "Ye Xiaojing, do you hate Guan Wenxiang?" β
"Don't hate!" Ye Xiaojing blurted out.
"Why?" Cheng Qixin asked, "Speaking of which, you will have such an experience, Guan Wenxiang has a lot of responsibility. β
"No, you can't blame him," Ye Xiaojing said without thinking, "Besides, it was him later-"
"What happened to him?" Seeing that she suddenly stopped in the middle of her speech, Cheng Qixin asked subconsciously.
"No, it's nothing - he apologized to me afterwards anyway, I really don't blame him!" Ye Xiaojing blushed and said.
"Humph!" Cheng Qixin sneered, "You like Guan Wenxiang very much, right?" β
"I didn'tβ" Ye Xiaojing subconsciously wanted to deny it.
Ignoring her rebuttal, Cheng Qixin said to himself: "I heard that women who like him can be lined up from Taipei all the way to the Pacific Ocean, why do you think you will have a chance?" β
"I never imagined that I would have any development with him, although I liked him, I wouldn't expect him to like me, not to mention that I was still a cripple!" Ye Xiaojing was stunned as soon as she finished speaking, this was the first time she admitted that she liked Guan Wenxiang in front of others, but she didn't expect it to be in front of Cheng Qixin.
"So, if you don't have a problem with your leg, you'd wish you were with him?" Cheng Qixin's voice carried an indescribable chill.
"President Guan is a person of status, I am not worthy of him!" Ye Xiaojing said quietly.
Cheng Qixin sneered: "Identity? Status? Is this kind of boring stuff important to you? β
Hearing this, Ye Xiaojing looked at him in surprise, she didn't understand how Cheng Qixin could say such a thing, in terms of class, aren't he and Guan Wenxiang the same person?
"See what?" Cheng Qixin did not hide the contempt in his eyes at all, "Identity, status and money, this kind of external thing will change, it is not worth mentioning at all, the most important thing is the person himself." Didn't your family also use to be a family with a bit of identity and status? Why did you become someone else's maid now? β
Ye Xiaojing looked at him in a daze for a while before saying, "But many people think so." β
"Is that you, too?"
"I don't want to think like that!" Ye Xiaojing wanted to answer like this, but she was silent in the end and did not speak.
After being silent for a while, Cheng Qixin said: "You must be very strange, why would I say such a thing; I'm not trying to deny anything, and I'm certainly not trying to comfort you, but I say this, but it has something to do with an experience I've hadβ"
After another long silence, Cheng Qixin sighed slightly and said, "I'll tell you when I have a chance later!" β
Ye Xiaojing nodded silently, since Cheng Qixin didn't want to say it, she didn't ask anymore.
At this time, suddenly "meow", a snow-white kitten rubbed in from outside the door, Cheng Qixin stretched out a hand towards the kitten, and the little white cat jumped from the ground to his hand in three steps.
"What did you say when you gave Xiao Hei to grandma?" Cheng Qixin fiddled with the kitten's black pointed ears and suddenly asked.
"Young Master, you ask this, is there something wrong?" Ye Xiaojing hesitated to tell the truth.
"The young master is afraid that you will feel lonely, so let Xiao Hei relieve your boredomβ"
"Uh-"
Seeing her cramped appearance in her eyes, Cheng Qixin smiled: "Don't take it as an example!" Remember? β
Ye Xiaojing hurriedly nodded: "Oh, I remember!" β
"Ye Xiaojing, where's my supper?"
"I'll do it!"
As soon as night falls, fireworks have already risen in the sky, and this Qixi Festival night is destined to be a lively night.
Ye Xiaojing walked all the way, and she could always see a couple snuggling up to each other; Although the festival itself tells a rather sad story, people nowadays use it to commemorate their beautiful love.
followed the flow of people to the temple, although she didn't actually believe anything, Ye Xiaojing still made a wish sincerely in front of the gods and Buddhas - coming to the temple every Qixi Festival to make a wish is a habit she has had since she was a child, but when she was a child, her parents brought her and her sister together, but now she comes alone.
Although it was late, the temple was still crowded, and Ye Xiaojing, who wanted to leave immediately, stopped when she passed a temporary stall, she stood in front of the stall for a while, and the colorful and various sky lanterns on the stall reminded her of her memories-
On the night of Qixi Festival, watch fireworks and set off sky lanterns - Qixi Festival was one of her favorite festivals, and she liked it not because of the beautiful and sad legend, but because on this day every year, the sky is always filled with incomparably gorgeous fireworks, and the Kong Ming lanterns that slowly rise in the bright fireworks.
At that time, she tirelessly looked at the bustling scenes that were too beautiful to be on earth, and then watched them finally die out at dawn.
In a trance, Ye Xiaojing seemed to hear someone calling her name, she turned her head blankly, and in the crowd, a pair of somewhat familiar eyes seemed to be smiling at herself-
"--Ye Xiaojing!"
