Chapter 50: Know What You Want
Lu Zihang turned his head to look at me, got up and pulled the chair opposite: "Miss Jing, please take a seat." β
The last few meetings with Lu Zihang didn't leave a good impression on me, he suddenly felt so polite that I felt very mad, I sat down slowly: "Thank you, Si Shao." β
Lu Zihang nodded at the tea master: "Let's make tea." β
The tea master's tea ceremony performance was beautiful, the golden tea soup rushed into the teacup, and the jade hand was lightly placed in front of me, and I nodded: "Thank you." β
The tea master made the tea and bowed and exited the private room, and the room suddenly became very quiet, diffusing the faint fragrance of tea.
"I didn't reply to the message yesterday, I thought Miss Jing wouldn't go to my appointment." Lu Zihang picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.
"I didn't recognize Sishao's number for a while, so I didn't reply in time. However, Maple City is only so big, it can be said that you can't look down and see ...... I don't think I've done anything to be ashamed of the four young, so I won't avoid it. "Today's weather is good, the windows are open and I don't feel cold, and the strings of water droplets reflect the sunlight is particularly beautiful.
"I invited Miss Jing over today to have a good chat with you." Lu Zihang's expression became serious.
"I don't know what Si Shao wants to talk about?" I keenly feel that the topic that Lu Zihang talked to me about should not be so pleasant.
"I used to think that you were smart but not smart, sophisticated but not sophisticated, and you know a lot of things, and your personality is more free and easy than ordinary women, I really appreciate you and want to make friends with you." Lu Zihang's words were very sincere, and I could hear that he was not speaking politely.
"Thank you for your love." But no matter how sincere he is, it doesn't work, because he said 'before'.
"The case has been frozen for months, and it will soon be in your hands. People are beautiful, and you do things beautifully, you are excellent. Lu Zihang looked at me solemnly: "If you leave the third brother, you will have a better future." β
"Why do you conclude that if I am with Qiao Yichen, the future will be gloomy?" Similar to what I guessed, the key to the problem lies with Qiao Yichen.
"In the future, Mrs. Qiao can only be shallow, you and the third brother will not have results, it is better to withdraw as soon as possible, so as not to hurt others and yourself." When Lu Zihang said that his face was shallow, a soft light inadvertently flashed in his eyes.
"Since you are so sure that I have nothing to do with Qiao Yichen, why do you come to talk to me about this, Si Shao will leave me to fend for myself." I took a sip of tea, a good frozen top oolong, and the aftertaste was a little crisp and sweet. However, tea tasting really has to be kind, with my current state of mind, no matter how good the tea is, it is a cow chewing peony.
"I don't believe you're so open." Lu Zihang's face sank completely: "If you insist on going your own way, we will be enemies from now on." β
"Si Shao's position is a bit strange, where am I hindering you?" I was smiling blankly.
"The third brother is still unstable in Yingjia, and the Rong family can help him in his career. In short, I won't watch you ruin the third brother. Lu Zihang's words were sonorous.
"It's really a deep brotherhood, if the fourth young man is to defend Qiao Yichen, then we can be regarded as one side, and we will never be enemies." I smiled faintly: "I'm afraid that Si Shao is on Miss Rong's side, right?" "The last time Lu Zihang took me to the hospital to see Rong Qingqian, I vaguely felt that something was wrong. Today, I suddenly realized that Lu Zihang was protecting Rong Qingqian, so he regarded me as a thorn in the flesh.
Lu Zihang's face changed immediately, and he was annoyed and angry after peeking through his heart: "Don't think I don't know what you want, I know the temper of the third brother best, if he knows what you are calculating against him behind his back, I don't need to clean you up at all." β
Lu Zihang's reaction confirmed my speculation even more, I remember reading a sentence in a book before - people have three things that cannot be hidden, cough, poverty and love; The more you want to hide, the more you want to cover it up. Lu Zihang likes to be shallow, and he doesn't need him to tell me, his emotions are all written in his eyes.
"Si Shao is too confident, let alone Si Shao, I don't even know what I want." I drank the tea in the cup slowly: "It seems that today is not more than half a sentence of speculation, thank you Sishao for your hospitality, I still have something to do, so I will leave first......"
"You have to be obsessed?" Lu Zihang looked up at me.
"The so-called authorities are obsessed with bystanders, and in my opinion, obsessed people...... It's the four young ......" Lu Zihang was sitting there in the backlight, the light outside the window could not shine on his face, and his expression at the moment was very calm, looking a little scary.
The same bamboo bridge and flowing water, but when I walked again, I felt that the steps were too heavy. I can only be friends if I see through it and don't say it thoroughly, and Lu Zihang and I can only be enemies in the future, it's not that I like to make enemies, but some things have no choice from the beginning. In fact, Lu Zihang is also quite pitiful, the most unwilling thing in his relationship is 'love but can't', and he is probably even more unwilling - to have a showdown with his rival for the person he likes, and even love is so wronged......
A wry smile floated on the corners of his lips, who does not have a city in his heart, and there is an impossible person living in it, that person has obviously passed by his youth for a while, but he has been stranded in his heart for a lifetime. Whether he can let him go out can only depend on whether he can let it go or not. Whether it's friendship or love, I only believe that the best thing is to see people's hearts over time.
I will know myself warmly, and I will be good at myself.
Xiaoxiang's beauty club is not bad, there are a lot of greenery in the aromatherapy room, and the soft music makes people sleepy. After the spa treatment, I lay on my stomach on the massage**, and the aromatherapist opened a jar of lavender essential oil, the faint fragrance can soothe people's nerves, and then I fell asleep in a daze.
As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw that Xiaoxiang had already changed her clothes - the bean paste-colored cashmere dress outlined her good figure to the fullest, her long hair was coiled into a delicate bun behind her head, and a few eastern pearls fell between her hair, graceful and elegant.
I sat up and straightened the collar of my bathrobe: "What time is it?" β
"It's almost five o'clock, you go change your clothes first." Xiaoxiang asked the stylist to get me clothes: "Let's go to a French dinner in a while." β
"Not today, I made an appointment with someone else for dinner." I smiled apologetically.
"A man is like a kite, you can't get too close, you have to know how to put it and pull it back......" Xiaoxiang glanced at me.
"Miss Lin, you're thinking too much, I made an appointment to talk about work." I looked at the clothes that Xiaoxiang gave meβa slim-fitting woolen dress, a small white fur coat, and a Hepburn-style bowler hat: "This is for me?" β
"Of course." Xiaoxiang nodded: "This outfit is precious, if it weren't for Zhuang Peng's card, I would have to vomit blood." β
"I ...... ......"I still have to work, and I'm not going on a date."
"No, you have to wear it, it's not negotiable." Xiaoxiang pushed me into the fitting room, then threw all the clothes to me, and locked the door with his backhand: "If you don't change it, you won't open the door." β
I reluctantly put on my clothes and knocked on the door: "Open the door quickly, it's done." β
"Uh-huh, a big beauty with a fairy aura." Xiaoxiang is very satisfied with his masterpiece: "I guarantee to brighten the eyes of the three young people." β
"Huh." I'll go to see the cost engineer in a while, and then go back to the frost forest to get drunk, I shouldn't meet Qiao Yichen today.
On my way to Kirin Pavilion, I first went to the theater to see the stage. An Qing is quite reliable, everything she explained has been done very well, and I have finalized some details with the director.
When I arrived at Qilin Pavilion, it was not yet half past six, and Song Yuan had already arrived, she looked me up and down for a long time and said, "Sister Xin, you are so beautiful today." β
"Thank you." I smiled faintly.
Since seeing Qiao Yichen in my office yesterday, Song Yuan has been a little more restrained when facing me. Qiao Yichen drank water from my cup so stingingly, as long as you are not a fool, you will see that this is not normal.
Song Yuan's classmates soon arrived: "Sister Xin, this is Li Jie." β
"Hello Miss Jing, this is the Wang Gong of our firm." Li Jie introduced me to the man beside him.
The other person looked about 40 years old, wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses, and looked like a scholar.
"Wang Gong, Mr. Li, please take a seat." I beckoned them to sit down and ordered.
I told them about the situation of the second phase of Junchi, and the engineer said, "I can do the budget, but we calculate the project budget according to the number of square meters, and I will do it with my assistant, which will be relatively slow." β
"How long will it take?"
"It's about a week, and you have to look at the drawings to be sure." Li Jie replied.
At dinner, I finalized the labor fee by the way, and I consulted some small problems in terms of project cost. I sent the other party to the door of the restaurant and met the owner of Qilin Pavilion: "Mr. Jing, I was really sorry last time, I thought you wouldn't be here with me in the future." β
"Mr. Zhang was also a noble hand last time, so he didn't offend my guests." I smiled, last time it was Qiao Yichen who was unhappy and deliberately made a mistake behind his back, and he couldn't blame the boss.
"Mr. Jing is magnanimous, and women don't let them shave their eyebrows."
"Mr. Zhang is polite." After a few polite words with Mr. Zhang, I returned to the frost forest drunk, and after careful calculation, I haven't been here for half a month.
"Mr. Jing is really a rare guest." Wang Kai smiled and teased me when he saw me.
"As for running me like this?" I pressed to go to the floor of the office.
"I'm telling the truth, how can there be a run?" Wang Kai shrugged.
"I can't argue with that." Entering the office, everything was the same except for the fact that there were more papers on the desk than usual.
I looked through some of the financial statements and opened a copy to take a closer look. The door of the office was knocked lightly a few times: "Mr. Jing, can I come in?" β
"Please come in." I could tell it was the voice of the night heart.
Yexin walked in, she was wearing a chiffon halterneck dress today, her long hair was scattered behind her, and she looked very delicate even with makeup. I'm not as close to Xiaoxiang as I am with Yexin, but she has a good relationship with Xiaoxiang, and I usually take care of her.
Standing there quietly, I walked from behind my desk, poured a cup of fruit tea and put it on the coffee table, and pointed to the sofa opposite: "Sit down and talk about something." β
Yexin sat down and fiddled with her fingers: "I...... I'm done this month, and I won't be coming to work next month. β
"Oh, got a new job?" I can only think of so much, if she changes the scene, it must not be as good as me, at least the new owner will not protect them like me.
"It's not ......" Yexin was a little nervous: "I'm about to get married." β
"...... "I was surprised to hear the news, but I'm happy for them to have a good home.
