Chapter 45: The Family Feast
After receiving Ning Feiyang's call, Su Qing walked out of the office as quickly as possible. In the quiet seventh-floor corridor, you can see Ning Feiyang waiting in front of the elevator at a glance.
From a distance, he could still be attracted by Ning Feiyang's thin and straight figure.
Su Qing paused, she tidied up her skirt slightly, and even more so sorted out her emotions.
"Su Qing. It's a bit presumptuous. It's all the arrangement of the bamboo shadow. We had no choice but to obey. Don't worry too much about it, it's just an ordinary family dinner before the New Year. Ning Feiyang said hello and pressed the elevator button.
"Mr. Ning, good evening. Thank you and Mrs. for the invitation. It is my pleasure. Su Qing had a warm professional smile on her face.
"When you get off work, call your uncle. You are Ning Yu's classmate. You have that right. I also like to be called casually. Ning Feiyang always seemed to be talkative in front of this girl.
"No, I can only call you Mr. Ning, but I can call Mrs. Auntie. You have to forgive me. Su Qing replied without a trace of hesitation.
"Why? How can my wife and I be treated differently? Ning Feiyang became interested.
"As soon as I call you uncle, I will have a sense of superiority and privilege, and I will be lost at my age. So I beg your pardon. Su Qing's voice had a professional softness.
"Haha, yes. This is a good reason that cannot be refuted. I accepted. Ning Feiyang smiled heartily as he introduced Su Qing into the elevator.
"Mr. Ning. Actually, Madame's invitation to me made me nervous. Su Qing's tone was still very casual.
"Really? Understand. I don't like her nervous enthusiasm either. But she is Ning Yu's mother, and I can't help it. With Ning Yu and me, two gentlemen, you can relax your mind. Ning Feiyang's tone took on the flavor of banter.
The moment she stepped out of the elevator, Su Qing couldn't help but glance at Ning Feiyang's side face, she couldn't help but admit that this was an attractive man. I also have to admit that I have his shadow in me. She hadn't had a chance to confirm it yet, but she was almost sure she resembled him.
Su Qing sat in the spacious back seat of the Audi A6, and she could feel the increasingly strong aura of Ning Feiyang beside her. It took him more than four years to finally be able to sit next to this person, and she couldn't help but have mixed feelings. Is this your life? The people around him are enjoying life wantonly, but they are wasting their youth, struggling to be hurt and hurt others. Is this fair?
"Su Qing, what's wrong? You don't seem to feel well? Su Qing. Ning Feiyang's voice finally woke up Su Qing.
"Ah, I'm sorry. Mr. Ning. I was hesitant to talk to you about those two departments evaluating data, so I got distracted. Su Qing quickly thought of a reason to cover it up.
"I have to apologize to you for this. Your data is not accepted in the end. Ning Feiyang looked sorry, I don't know if it was for Su Qing or for himself.
"That's what I'm going to remind you of. The final figures that can be used for negotiation are likely to be even lower. Su Qing looked very eager. In order to become Ning Feiyang's secretary smoothly, she had to do her best.
"Really? Tell me your reasoning. Ning Feiyang still couldn't let go of this big event of the company.
"There is no doubt that the data for the negotiations can only be evaluated by a third party. Regardless of whether it is S market or foreign buyers, they generally choose well-known foreign accounting firms for appraisal, and I have been in contact with them. The final result may be even lower than our revised figures. You have to be prepared. Su Qing reported as concisely as possible, she didn't want to leave a bad impression on Ning Feiyang.
"Really? How did you come into contact with a foreign accounting firm? Ning Feiyang seemed to be more interested in Su Qing than in the data itself.
"I'm a Certified Public Accountant. I have been working part-time in an accounting firm. Our main competitors are these foreign firms. Su Qing was afraid that the explanation would not be clear,
"Ahh Su Qing, you give me a new surprise every time. Okay, it's good to do a part-time job like this. It's just that you're going to have a hard time. Ning Feiyang sighed.
"It's okay, it's been almost three years. I've been used to it for a long time. If the company doesn't allow it, I can quit my part-time job right away. Su Qing tentatively.
"No, what we lack in Lingyun Company is talents like you. Just don't tire yourself too hard. We're here. Ready to get off the bus. Ning Feiyang said, pointing ahead.
The car stopped in front of a quiet, upscale neighborhood. They have to go through a security check by a doorman.
It is a community of high-rise and villas. Ning Feiyang's home is in the villa area. A small two-story building.
"Please, it's long overdue for you to be a guest. Ning Yu, this kid is not sensible, you have to forgive him. Ning Feiyang led the way in front.
Xiao Zhuying, who heard the doorbell, appeared at the door for the first time.
"Su Qing, come in." Xiao Zhuying almost snatched Su Qing into the house.
The living room on the first floor was decorated with great taste, at least commensurate with Ning Feiyang's taste.
As soon as Su Qing sat down on the sofa, she heard Xiao Zhuying's almost shouting call, "Ning Yu, go downstairs and see who's coming." Come on. ”
Soon, Ning Yu's face appeared at the corner of the stairs.
"Su Qing, you're here. I said why is my mother so happy and mysterious. If I had known you were coming, I wouldn't have left so early. Before Ning Yu finished speaking, the person had already sat beside him.
Xiao Zhuying deliberately walked into the kitchen, and she left space for the two of them. She had to watch from the sidelines.
"You don't know that you invited me here, others are more sensible than you." Su Qing habitually reached out and stroked Ning Yu's hair a few times.
"Here we go again. Can you change the action you only had recently? Learn to be a lady. I don't know what's wrong with you? If you had been like this, I wouldn't have dared to associate with you. Ning Yu complained and straightened his hair.
"Who got in a relationship with you? Don't move your eyes that shouldn't be moved. Do you hear that? Su Qing stiffened her face.
"Yes, I mean the association between friends. I also said that my heart's eyes, you should examine yourself. Ning Yu looked a little aggrieved.
"That's good. In the future, you should be precise in your words, and don't be chased all over the street because of such details. I forgive you. Su Qing waved her hand generously.
Ning Yu was so angry that he ignored her.
Xiao Zhuying, who was hiding and peeking in the kitchen, gradually developed a feeling of unreality. Su Qing in the living room is very different from the girl in her impression. Su Qing, who saw it for the first time, had a touch of sadness and pride on her body. That Su Qing has a pure and youthful beauty. The second Su Qing has the charm of cloudy sideburns and a touch of elegance. Today's Su Qing's uninhibited in front of Ning Yu made Xiao Zhuying feel even more confused.
Xiao Zhuying has always been confident in her judgment, but she wavered at this time.
She is worried about her son, can such a changing girl be controlled by her son?
Su Qing had almost emptied all distractions to cope with this warm dinner. The dishes are not complicated, but they are exquisite. Xiao Zhuying's cooking skills are very good, although Su Qing thinks she can do better.
The dinner was spent in a relaxed inquiry and response, and Xiao Zhuying understood everything she should know with untraced concern. The answer that impressed her the most made her feel a little uneasy and worried.
Su Qing's exact words were, "I grew up with my father, so I like mature men, and I need security." ”
Su Qing also gained something, and the information that impressed her the most but made her feel sarcastic came from Xiao Zhuying's casual words.
Xiao Zhuying's original words were, "It would be nice if my family Yueyue was here, so that you would have no sense of restraint." ”
Ning Yu was joking with Su Qing from beginning to end, although saying these jokes in front of his parents would only receive Su Qing's silent denial with a light smile. He was content and was finally able to host the girl he liked in his own home.
Su Qing accepted Ning Yu's hospitality in sending her home, and when she left Ning Feiyang's home, she suddenly became relaxed.
"Let's go." Su Qing took Ning Yu's hand. This action is very natural.
Ning Yu felt a little dizzy, and this Su Qing seemed to be more and more unexpected. If she is not her girlfriend, but her hand-holding action is so natural. But if he and Su Qing are a couple, then he is the most unlucky and unsightly couple, because almost all of his invitations are rejected, and he has long been a match for such things, and he is still reliable and kind in computer games.
"Do you have a sister? How old is she? Why have you never heard of her? Su Qing shook Ning Yu's arm as she walked. Walking hand in hand with Ning Yu on a winter night, she felt very fulfilled.
"Hi. Two years younger than me. She was born in Australia and comes back for a month every year during the Chinese New Year. Ning Yu frowned.
"What, you don't like her?" Su Qing saw Ning Yu's subtle movements.
"Too domineering, too cold. It's so hard to serve. Ning Yu complained.
"Maybe it's because she hasn't lived with you for long. This is the estrangement. Su Qing made a judgment.
"Maybe. She is our family's secret. So I rarely mention it. Ning Yu sighed.
"Why? Is it because your mother is a civil servant, this belongs to superbirth, right? Su Qing quickly judged.
"You know all about it, so you still ask? My mom used to study abroad and found out she was pregnant when she got there. My mom was going to stay in Australia, but then she changed her mind. It is said that my grandfather strongly disagreed. It just so happened that my aunt was also going abroad, so she took my mother and became my sister's guardian. Ning Yu seemed to finally have a chance to express his chest. He didn't know if it was because Su Qing was close to him or because he was intoxicated with the happiness of holding hands.
"Things in China are so messy." Su Qing sighed.
A girl in a foreign country touched Su Qing's heart, she was really tired, and this would be another doomed encounter.
