Chapter 40: Invitation
Su Qing walked into Mr. Lu's office several times under the pretext of accosting her, but left in vain each time.
Su Qing has a lot of methods, report something, change the style of flower arrangement, and refill the humidifier with some water. Su Qing quickly used up all the methods he could think of, except for a few simple words when Mr. Lu reported to her, he kept scooping the morning report in a daze.
Mr. Lu's state made Su Qing feel worried, but she didn't have a good way to persuade her. After all, the work state that the two had been conflicting with before made her really unable to make a close attitude. But in her impression, Mr. Lu, who has always dressed up as an old man, is not a sentimental person. The sudden change is even more difficult to accept.
Even in the noisy staff cafeteria at lunchtime, Su Qing's mind was full of Mr. Lu's lingering fatigue and haggardness.
Wang Jingwen and Ning Yu came to Su Qing's table one after another. They all noticed Su Qing's absent-minded state.
"Su Qing, why are you absent-minded again? You're a celebrity in our company now, so you have to pay attention to your image. Wang Jingwen leaned into Su Qing's ear and whispered a reminder.
"You're scared the hell out of me." Su Qing was startled, she came to her senses and put her hand on her chest.
"What's wrong? It can't be that I'm thinking about other men behind my back, right? Ning Yu leaned over with a hippie smile.
"Miss your sister. Sister, I'm so bored? Su Qing replied without thinking.
Ning Yu held the plate and glared at Su Qing with her mouth wide open, and Wang Jingwen also stopped eating and looked at her as if she didn't know Su Qing.
Su Qing watched the movements of the two, and she reacted quickly.
She could only hide it with a smirk.
"No, Wang Jingwen. Did I hear me right? Ning Yu turned to Wang Jingwen, who had a wide open mouth.
"I don't think I heard it wrong. Su Qing said foul language. Wang Jingwen was reminded by Ning Yu's question and finally recovered.
"Okay, fuss. Seeing that Ning Yu was happy, he said that he slipped away. As for you? Su Qing looked confident.
"You really don't care? What kind of person are you? Okay, you can pretend. Ning Yu shook his head and sat down.
"Well, it's Christmas in two days. How did you arrange it? Wang Jingwen seemed to deliberately divert the topic, she didn't want Ning Yu to continue to pester Su Qing. Su Qing is now her idol in the company, and becoming an executive so quickly makes these female colleagues both envious and jealous.
"What do foreign festivals have to do with us?" Su Qing said disdainfully.
"Look at what you said, I was going to invite you to be happy, did you mean to tell me?" Ning Yu expressed dissatisfaction.
"Su Qing, are you from S City? We all want to behave like foreigners more than foreigners, you are so unruly and immense, what is this called? It's called all sorts. Wang Jingwen couldn't help complaining.
"Good. I was wrong. But I'm not for Christmas. Even if you live, it's not like you. Su Qing smiled with a smile, but her tone was still disdainful.
"How are we doing? How are you doing? Wang Jingwen protested, and Ning Yu was also helping on the side.
"You must be jumping, clubbing, shopping. Well, I haven't figured it out yet, but I'm certainly not doing that. Su Qing still spoke disdainfully.
"Cut, you can pretend. I found that you just can pretend. You've just revealed your true colors. Ning Yu also fought back with disdain. Wang Jingwen nodded sympathetically beside her.
Su Qing smiled and reached out and touched Ning Yu's head a few times, and Ning Yu shook his head irritably. He glanced at him in exasperation and motioned to someone around him.
"What's wrong with me just pretending? Sister, this is called ability. In fact, my sister was originally short-tempered, but she pretended to be good. What can you do with your sister? Su Qing looked indifferent.
Wang Jingwen and Ning Yu looked at each other, and both of them were completely speechless.
After lunch, Su Qing, who was in a better mood again, returned to her office, and she found the snacks on the table again, although she still felt crooked this time, she also had a faint touch. This Mr. Lu can insist on doing this kind of disgusting thing in such a depressed state, and Su Qing has to be moved.
"Who the hell is this? Don't be pretending again, right? Su Qing looked at the door of Mr. Lu's office that was closed.
The still gloomy office atmosphere in the afternoon made Su Qing sure that Mr. Lu had indeed encountered bad luck, but she couldn't be happy. There is also the fact that she gradually developed a disdain for Mr. Lu's grinding.
"How big is it, is it so endless? As a corporate executive, you don't know that you shouldn't be in the office with personal emotions? Does this also need to be taught? "Su Qing has been slandering.
Kevin Lu has been in a lazy mood, he has no specific work arrangement, although he is the executive vice president, but he has avoided taking over the financial signing process, and now it is the end of the year, the project has basically stopped, he can stay idle and do it? p>
Yiyi? p>
He stared at the missing person notice in the morning newspaper for a day. The bounty and a text message for Ning Keer's clue were reflected in his pupils.
At lunchtime, he just went out and simply bought a burger and a bunch of snacks for Su Qing.
Su Qing became a consolation for him, although she was proved not to be a Ning Ke'er, but her orphan status still made Lu Kaiwen pity. Kevin Lu urgently needs such a person to express his loss. He didn't know where Ning Ke'er was, he didn't know Ning Ke'er's life situation, he only knew that Su Qing's mother died in childbirth, and Su Qing's father also died in her first year of high school. Su Qing works alone in S City, it seems that if she accepts more care from herself, she would rather get more help in a corner of the world. Kevin Lu knows that this is empathy and a kind of falsehood. But it's even more solace.
Kevin Lu just sat back and waited for time to pass. He didn't want to wake up anytime soon. Maybe he was too tired and needed such a state of idleness.
In the space of reverie, he occasionally recalls his happy life at the University of Michigan. Especially that bloody rugby career. His teammates are now gone, but they can continue to vent their energy during the holidays. What about yourself? Kevin Lu is lost. Ning Feiyang is still living proudly, Ning Keer is nowhere to be found, and he lives a seemingly beautiful but lonely life in S City. In order to find Ning Ke'er, Lu Kaiwen didn't go back to visit his mother's grave, he didn't have the face to go back, he couldn't just go back empty-handed to face his mother's tombstone.
He was very free and easy when he persuaded Su Qing. But aren't you also living in your mother's unhappy past? This burden in his heart was snatched by himself, and he couldn't push it. This is his responsibility, and it is his destiny.
The knock on the door woke him up, and he didn't bother to speak. They still opened, and Su Qing opened the door and walked in by herself as she had done the previous times.
"Mr. Lu, it's time to get off work." Su Qing stood in front of the table, her slightly furrowed brows showing her disdain.
"Got it." Lu Kaiwen subconsciously looked at the sky outside, in fact, this action was simply redundant, and the dim light in the room could clearly judge the time.
Su Qing stared at Mr. Lu motionlessly.
Mr. Lu seemed to realize that Su Qing had something to say.
"Su Qing, is there anything else?" Lu Kaiwen's tone was very soft, and now he no longer had any disdain for Su Qing. For her, Kevin Lu has only patience.
"It's Christmas the day after tomorrow. What is Mr. Lu going to do? Su Qing seemed to have made a lot of determination.
"Live as you please." Kevin Lu didn't think of this question at all.
"How's that going? Have you lived with your American friends in S City or by yourself? Su Qing's brows furrowed even deeper.
"They're all back for Christmas. Those who stay also have families. Hehe, I'd better live alone. Lu Kaiwen's self-deprecating tone was heavy.
"Then I'll invite you to Christmas Eve tomorrow." There was sympathy in Su Qing's faint tone.
"You invited me? Where to go? Mr. Lu didn't believe Su Qing's proposal.
"I didn't think about it. But the cheaper the better. Su Qing replied very dryly.
"Hehe, why did you remember to invite me? What about Ning Yu? You don't spend Christmas with him? Ran, Kevin's face was concerned.
"What is Tinin Yu doing? He doesn't celebrate Christmas the same way I do. Do you accept my invitation or not? Can you have a good time? Su Qing's disdainful tone became thicker and thicker.
Lu Kaiwen seemed to hear Su Qing's tone, and he looked at Su Qing curiously.
"Su Qing, it's not appropriate for girls to invite men in general, so I'll invite you." Mr. Lu looked very serious.
"There's no way to change it. I've made an invitation, so listen to what I'm going to do. I can't see that you're genuine. Plus, I'm also in return for the snacks you buy me every day. I don't want to owe anyone else. Su Qing's tone could not be refused.
Kevin Lu smiled, this was the first time he had a good mood for the first time in a whole day.
"Well, to reject a girl is to reject the whole world. I accept your invitation. Lu Kaiwen's voice suddenly became cheerful.
"That's pretty much it. What's there to think about endlessly? How good is this, you should learn to make yourself happy and not dwell on things that are meaningless. It's really uncomfortable, drink some wine and sleep, and everything is over. Su Qing's disdainful tone became more and more obvious.
Lu Kaiwen's eyes widened, he really didn't believe what he heard at this time.
"What's the matter, do you think it's strange the way I speak? I'm just a little grass, do you know how grass grows? There is no careful care, only merciless wind and rain. You think they all have such a good environment like you. I envy you that it's too late. The way you're now, I call it hypocrisy. Su Qing's eyes widened, and her long eyelashes trembled.
Kevin Lu only smiled bitterly, he was really speechless to deal with it.
Lu Kaiwen's wry smile gradually faded with Su Qing's departure, and soon, a strong pain rose in his heart.
"yes, Kerr, has your little grass grown?" Kevin Lu took out his wallet, and he carefully looked at the photos inside.
