"Joe is always early."

At half past seven in the morning, Qiao's building was empty, and Qiao Du met the security guard on duty who greeted her downstairs.

"Early." She smiled lightly and hurried to the elevator in her high heels.

"Ding!"

The elevator doors open.

She walked straight to her office and pushed open the door in one breath, the room was quiet, and there was no one in sight.

"Whew......" she exhaled a long breath, shook her head and secretly laughed, her mood was almost deviated by the man in the car downstairs, and she really believed what he said Wei Ju was waiting for her in her office, which turned out to be not the case at all.

Grabbed her phone and dialed a number to her ear, she whispered with a smile: "Okay, I'm in the office, no one, you can go......"

Before she could finish the last word, there was a sound of footsteps in her ears as leather shoes hitting the ground, and she turned her head stiffly as if she had heard a ghost's voice.

Wei Ju walked straight towards her, the temperature was low in the early spring morning, he wore a white shirt covered with a slim brown suit vest, with trousers of the same color, a silver pattern tie, and rimless glasses on the bridge of his nose to create an ascetic bearing.

After Qiao Du was stunned, she lowered her head and thought that if she let the unmarried female subordinates of the company see it, she would drool again, fortunately she has a famous flower, otherwise she may not be able to bear it.

Men like to look at beautiful women, and women like to look at handsome guys, which is human instinct.

On the phone, Fu Jingchao didn't hear her voice halfway through it, and said coldly: "See someone?" ”

In the microphone, there was no sound.

Only the sound of her subtle breathing came, and he knew that her communication was fine, and said in a deep voice, "I'll wait for you in the car." ”

Without waiting for her to speak, he was the first to cut off the call.

Qiao Du pursed her lower lip, put the phone back in her pocket, glanced at Wei Ju, who was only five or six steps away, and said with a smile: "Vice President Wei, why are you so early?" ”

Wei Ju looked at her with smiling eyes: "The mobile phone accidentally got into the water, I can't use it, I made an appointment with Miss Qiao yesterday to come over in the morning to talk about work, I was worried that Miss Qiao would not be able to contact me, so I came over and waited for Miss Qiao first." With one hand in his trouser pocket and the folder and tablet in the other, he naturally pointed to her office and said, "Let's talk about it when we go in." ”

"Wait a minute." Qiao Duan stopped him and smiled lightly: "Vice President Wei hasn't eaten breakfast yet, I haven't eaten either, how can I talk about work when I'm hungry?" Why don't we go down and talk over breakfast together? ”

A hint of surprise flashed in Wei Ju's eyes behind the lenses, she didn't expect her to invite him to breakfast, so she took her steps back and smiled slowly: "Okay." What does Miss Joe want to eat? Miss Qiao hasn't tasted Yancan's breakfast yet, why don't you just do it? ”

In between his words, Qiao Duan thought about his first sentence carefully, it turned out that his mobile phone was broken, not as Fu Jingchao guessed.

The doubts were lifted, Qiao Du began to care about the matter, raised his watch to look at the time, it was almost eight o'clock, there was only an hour of preparation time, and he had to hurry up, so he bowed his head and said, "Whatever, Vice President Wei will arrange it." ”

Yancan Restaurant is famous, one is hard to find, only ten customers are fixed every morning, and reservations are hot, and it is almost impossible to have a seat if you want to go temporarily.

"Miss Qiao, please wait a minute, I'll arrange it." Wei Ju picked up his phone, walked to the side and made a call.

Qiao Du waited patiently for him to finish, walked to the elevator and pressed his fingerprint, and asked him as he entered the elevator, "Will there be no place?" ”

When Wei Ju heard this, the smile on his face deepened: "Miss Qiao said she laughed." ”

Qiao Duan then remembered that he was Wei Ju and the founder of Yancan, so naturally he didn't need to make an appointment.

"I'm sorry, I forgot." Qiao Du straightened her short hair and said embarrassedly.

"Miss Qiao, don't mind, I don't mean to laugh at you." Wei Ju lowered his glasses and looked at her, his face was always full of smiles: the smile in his eyes was more charming than the smile on his face: "I think Miss Qiao is very cute like this, she is serious and rigorous at work, and she is cute and confused in private, and the contrast is cute." ”

Qiao Dui: "......"

It was the first time she had been praised like this.

A happy smile appeared on his pink lips, and Jo Twilight chatted with him as she took the elevator down to the first floor.

The two walked out of the building together, Wei Ju was going to pick up the car, he glanced around quietly, didn't see the Audi car that usually picked her up, thought she would follow and take his car, but found that her steps slowed down, and turned around to call her: "Miss Qiao?" ”

"I'll see you at the restaurant in a moment." Qiao Du really didn't know how to explain that she still had to take someone to breakfast with her, so she simply didn't look at him, pretended to raise her hand relaxedly, and walked away quickly with her high heels.

Wei Ju stood in place, watching her leave, stepping on high heels, but she was as light as a swallow, and walked towards a Rolls-Royce parked in front of the building without hesitation.

She skillfully opened the car door, and through a short opening and closing, he saw a tall figure with a noble and calm temperament sitting in the car, the door closed, and the low-key and domineering Rolls-Royce slowly slid towards the street.

Wei Ju retracted his gaze a little depressedly, and a smile between his lips was not light.

……

Fu Jingchao stared at the bright smile on the corner of Qiao Duan's eyebrows for a long time: "So happy to see him?" ”

Qiao Du was stunned for a moment, "No, I'm not happy." ”

"Do you want me to take your phone and slap you in the face?" He pinched her cheeks and spoke in a gloomy tone.

She turned her head and broke away from his hand, rubbing her face that was pinched by him, and defended herself: "Even if I smile at him, it's a polite laugh, okay?" Do you want me to keep a straight face with my subordinates all day long? ”

"Why not? You're the boss, not a joker. Fu Jing hooked his long arm, took her into his arms, and said to the driver in front, "Drive." ”

"Go to Yanchan's Restaurant." Qiao Du hurried to report the address of the restaurant.

A man sneered overhead: "A hard-to-find restaurant, he puts on such a big battle, do you think that this breakfast is only you and him?" ”

Qiao Du's little hand wrapped around his arm, really afraid of him: "Didn't you go with me, what do you want to do so much, why don't you take this opportunity to taste how delicious the food in the restaurant that is rumored to be impossible to book with money?" ”

"You think I'm short on food?"

"You don't lack it, it's me who lacks it, I want to taste it." Qiao Du looked at the man's noble face tightened, and couldn't help but coax: "Isn't there such a sentence? Only food and lovers can not be disappointed, you are my love, and tasting food with your lover is a great joy in life. ”

This girl can talk!

The man snorted from his nose as he stared at her eyes with a sparkling light.

Qiao Du knew that he was right, so he smiled and put his face on his arm, and shook it lightly: "But you have to say it in advance, you are only responsible for being the back, and you can't interfere with my work, if there is anything you can't see to give me some face, can you solve it in private?" ”

"Do you think I'm the kind of person who doesn't understand human accidents?" The man's voice was displeased again.

"Of course you're not!" This time she learned to be obedient, and instantly followed his words and said: "I said it wrong, how can you be this kind of person, I'm sorry, forgive me, next time it won't be like this." ”

This trick is clever and learns quite quickly, Fu Jingchao touched her hair, and her eyebrows and eyes were dyed with a hint of pampering, "Waiting for breakfast, as a family member, I am only responsible for eating, okay?" ”

"Okay, family, you've worked hard." Jotwilight grinned and turned her head to imprint a kiss on each cheek on either side of him.

Yancan Restaurant, private room.

Qiao Du took off her professional coat, hung it up, turned around and pinned the scattered hair behind her ears, and said to Wei Ju with a sideways smile: "Vice President Wei, don't you mind if I bring someone, right?" ”

Wei Ju put the tablet and folder in his hand on the dining table together, turned his eyes to the man opposite, smiled without a trace, and stated: "Miss Qiao and I are here to talk about business, and it involves business secrets, wouldn't it be inappropriate for Mr. Fu to be present?" ”

A ball was kicked in the face, Fu Jingchao's eyes flashed with a hint of edge, his legs folded together, and then he took out a cigarette case from his trouser pocket, lit a cigarette, looked at Wei Ju opposite through the thin smoke, and answered extraordinarily casually: "I'm not interested in what you guys are talking about, my identity for this breakfast is a family member, not the boss of Dongcheng Group." You just talk about yours, don't worry about me! ”

Wei Ju crossed the teacup on the table, took a sip of tea, and looked at the powerful opponent opposite, worthy of being a character in Licheng who covered the sky with one hand, those eagle eyes were sharp and deep in silence, and seemed to have endless fierceness, and his aura was so powerful that people only dared to look up.

What is his intention in deliberately biting "family members"?

Flaunt?

That's for sure.

From the moment Qiao Du said that he wanted to bring someone to breakfast together, he vaguely guessed that it would be this man.

Who would use the word "family" except to show off, only relatives, or a family, so they want to ...... Married?

Wei Ju's eyes darkened violently, and he subconsciously swept the fingers of the two of them, but he didn't see any engagement rings.

No matter how unresponsive Qiao Du was, she could feel a crackling spark flickering in the air, which was the spark of the two men secretly fighting.

Wei Ju is right, in terms of trade secrets, there should really be no outsiders present, she is the CEO, she should lead by example, if Wei Ju brings a family member over today, she will have the same reaction.

However, Fu Jingchao is different, this man already minds her and Wei Ju, if she doesn't let him be there today to see how she and Wei Ju talk about work, it is estimated that he will have to worry about it in the future.

With other old people who eat flying vinegar, simply solve it once and for all.

After Qiao Duan thought so, he sat down next to Fu Jingchao and smiled: "What Vice President Wei said is also reasonable, but Vice President Wei may not know that Fu Sichen sold the shares in his hand to Qiao's at a low price Mr. Fu He already knew about it, that is to say, it was earlier than you and me, so there is no such thing as what you and I talked about today is a trade secret." ”

"In that case, it's better to order food first." Wei Ju smiled, opened the tablet handed by the waiter, and flipped through the recipe, "What does Miss Qiao want to eat?" ”

"I haven't been here, I don't know which ones are better, so why don't you help me?" After Qiao Du finished speaking briskly, she obviously felt that the air pressure of the man next to her had dropped to freezing, and she reacted for a second before realizing what he was minding, he was her man, and he should help her.

She wanted to change her words, but Wei Ju had already ordered it for her.

After Wei Ju finished ordering, Qiao Duan didn't hear what the dish was, Yancan Restaurant took the high-end route, and the names of the dishes were more elegant, she also picked up the tablet computer at hand for ordering and looked through the recipes, and was stunned after seeing the details of the menu he ordered, how could it be all her favorite food.

It's not quite like a coincidence.

Qiao Du quietly looked at the face of the man next to him, he was looking at her, his deep gaze fell on her face, his voice was very soft and soft, but extremely cold: "It seems that you love to eat, Qiao's subordinates are like Vice President Wei and only look at you, or is this just an isolated phenomenon?" ”

Qiao Du bit her lower lip, she had a little headache, she hadn't started talking about work yet, she was in trouble everywhere, and what kind of tone did he have, he clearly said that he wouldn't embarrass her, how do you want her to answer now.

There was really no way, she had to bow her head and pretend to drink water and didn't hear it, and the man next to Ren seemed to be talking to the air.

"Mr. Fu, what do you need?" Wei Ju looked like a master, and after ordering all Qiao Dui's favorite dishes, he looked at Fu Jingchao.

"No, I'm not hungry." Fu Jingchao's face was cold, he leaned forward and flicked the excessively long cigarette ash between his fingers into the ashtray.

Wei Ju was no longer polite, elegantly closed the tablet and handed it to the waiter, he picked up the tea and continued to drink, secretly observing the different faces of the two opposites, with a hint of emotion looming in the corners of his eyes.

While waiting for the meal, Qiao Duan seized the time to ask about the share transfer, and Wei Ju answered all her questions and showed her the contract.

Some details in the contract were not clear enough, she asked questions one by one, Wei Ju patiently answered, and later added some intimate skills to teach her how to deal with the directors on the board of directors.

Qiao Du listened very carefully, she has only been in office for two months, and her achievements are obvious to all, and there are still many people waiting to see her jokes outside, there are personal grudges and enemies like Qiao Xinyi and Fu Zhixing, there are also competitors, and there are strangers who are purely hating the rich, if you are strong, you will stare at you, wishing you would make a mistake, so that you can step on a stranger.

This world is like this, the law of the jungle, you are strong, everyone has you, respect you, let you; You are weak, everyone steps on you, despises you, and looks down on you.

In addition to these, there are more responsibilities on her shoulders, and Qiao's has so many mouths waiting to eat, and if she makes a mistake, there may be tens of thousands of families behind her.

Now she has no way out, only to move forward.

There is a way forward, and there is a cliff behind.

She can't lose, and she can't afford to lose!

We must do our best to do everything well, and we must first settle down inside the outside, start from the board of directors, and gain the trust of the board of directors, so as to better rectify Qiao's and lead Qiao's to another peak.

The ordered meals were brought up one by one, filling the dining table, Qiao Du listened attentively to Wei Ju's explanation, and her body got closer and closer to Wei Ju along the round table from her position, of course, she also had reason, and the two were separated by a certain distance.

"Twilight." A lukewarm voice overflowed in his ears: "Breakfast is cold, eat something first and then talk about work." ”

"Oh, I'm not hungry, you eat first, I'll eat after talking with Vice President Wei." Qiao Du didn't raise his head, and took out his notebook from the briefcase he was carrying, intending to make a PPT.

"Miss Qiao, I arrived at the company at half past six today, and I have already made a PPT for you, you can take a look." Wei Ju pushed his tablet over like a trick.

Qiao Dui's eyes lit up, and he picked up his tablet like a treasure: "Vice President Wei, you are too powerful, this is exactly what I need." ”

Wei Ju smiled slightly: "Miss Qiao will look at it first, it's too late to change any problems." ”

"Okay, I'll take a look." Qiao Du looked down busily, from beginning to end, she did a perfect job, she could imagine that what she was worried about in today's board of directors was no longer a problem.

Having such a timely rain-type assistant by her side is equivalent to having a Doraemon, at this time she was happy and couldn't help but be grateful to Qiao Yuanjing, it was his insight that found such an all-round assistant for her.

All the details were almost discussed, and Qiao Dui was finally relieved, she stuck out her tongue and hurriedly retreated to her seat.

And what about Fu Jingchao?

She turned her head to look for it, and it turned out that he had long since left his seat, and seemed to be watching the scenery from the terrace in the box.

"Fu Jingchao." She called him softly.

I saw him fall into his trouser pocket with one hand, the golden rays of the rising sun lined his figure incomparably strong, his face was clear and profound, his thin lips were tightly pursed into a straight line, and he was blind, and he didn't even sweep the afterglow of his black eyes.

Thinking he hadn't heard, she walked over and nicknamed him: "Chao." ”

His figure remained unmoved.

Now she knew that she had provoked him again, and sighed weakly, her work was enough for her to be exhausted, he was always jealous here, and today she brought him over to reassure him, but judging from his attitude, it was obviously very different from what she expected.

She flatteringly pulled his sleeve, leaned her little face in front of his mouth and coaxed him softly: "It's eight fifty o'clock, go in and eat something, you have to go to work in a while, don't you?" What's the matter, wait until you get off work in the evening, okay? ”

Fu Jingchao didn't look at her, stared at the big garden planted with various precious varieties under the terrace, and coldly spit out two words: "Not good." ”

Qiao Du was most afraid of him like this, and at this time, he didn't care that there was someone in the box, so he snuggled into his arms and said delicately: "Don't, don't you see it too, I didn't do anything with him, I was just talking about work." ”

Fu Jingchao's face was like ice water, and he looked at her directly.

"Did you see that he ordered everything I liked, so you were jealous?" Qiao Du turned his brain desperately thinking about the reason why he was angry, and tried to coax him: "I can explain this, not only him, but also our colleagues on that floor, like Uncle Huang, and several other secretaries also know my tastes very well, mainly because we usually order working meals together......"

"Qiao Dui." He lifted his eyes and interrupted her in a cold tone: "I am face to face with him, you defend him everywhere, excuse him, be cautious, walk on thin ice, is he particularly important in your heart?" ”

Qiao Dui's eyes widened, and she finally realized something, and asked tremblingly, "What do you mean?" Are you questioning my heart for you, or are you implying something else? ”

"What do I mean?" His eyes were like a bottomless sea, which could drown her in the blink of an eye: "You really don't know? Well? ”

"You have something to say, I don't like to beat around the bush." She inhaled as if she was in an arctic iceberg, and bursts of cold air invaded her body, and she shivered from the cold.

She didn't understand what was wrong with him, didn't Wei Ju just order a table of her favorite dishes, what could this prove?

She and Wei Ju involuntarily sat close to each other when talking about work, but she kept the bottom line, did not really get close to him, and surpassed the relationship between colleagues, did she have to talk to Wei Ju from 108,000 miles away, or cut off contact with him?

What is the rationale for this?

She works hard and diligently wants to make a career in Qiao's, why is she wrong? Why did he look at her like that?

Her job is like this, she will inevitably come into contact with male colleagues, and she can't always meet with all male colleagues or male clients in the future in order to cater to him?

At this moment, the overwhelming disappointment and the loss of not being understood all came to my heart, and I gathered more and more......

In this patriarchal society, women are already at a disadvantage in the workplace, and they will be looked at and pointed at by all kinds of strange eyes wherever they go.

She has been gritting her teeth and insisting on never paying attention, partly because of his silent support, he supports her work, supports her career, and she warms her heart, even if they are sure that they are the ones who will spend the rest of their lives together in the future, he does not say anything to ask her to give up everything she has and live that life of husband and child.

She was grateful to him, and from the bottom of her heart, she was grateful for all these concessions and tolerances he had made for her.

It turned out that it wasn't.

It turned out that all of this was her imagination, his jealousy of her, and regarded Wei Ju as his imaginary enemy, as the object of her ambiguity, which just shows that he can't tolerate the fact that she works hard in the workplace after being his wife, maybe she is wrong, he is like all rich men in the world, he wants a housewife, a full-time wife who takes her husband as the sky.

Unfortunately, she is not.

She didn't want to live like that, even thinking about that picture made her want to retreat and run away.

The more I thought about it, the colder it became, as if I had been thrown into a blender and shattered, Qiao Duan looked at the cold and hard face of the man in front of him in a daze, and tried her best to find her voice: "Fu Jingchao, do you want to say again, I like to use people, you want to say that I am using Wei Ju, because he can help me at work, with him, I can gain a firm foothold in Qiao's, and with him, I can turn evil into good fortune." So I'm careful to defend him in front of you, right? ”

Fu Jingchao's eyebrows sank, flicked off the cigarette butt, and did not answer.

"Okay, very good, in your eyes, I'm a woman who likes to take advantage of people everywhere, so why do you keep me like this?" A layer of dampness and heat was in Qiao Dui's eyes, and before the tears fell, she lowered her head to cover her lips, turned her head and ran away quickly.

Fu Jingchao stood in place, not moving.

In the box, Wei Ju's eyes followed the figure of Qiao Du picking up his bag and coat and running out quickly, he stood up as soon as possible, and happened to meet the tall figure who came in from the terrace.

Looking at each other, Wei Ju hooked his lips and smiled, and when he stepped towards the door, a hook fist swung towards him with lightning speed.
