210. Sophistry
"Don't worry, no, it's not early, let's go to bed after watching this movie, I didn't sleep well last night, go to bed early tonight." Qu Jingbo kissed her forehead.
"Well, Brother Bo, do you have any news of the person I asked you to find last time?" Luo Chu has been immersed in the busyness of work these days, which temporarily made her forget to think about her mother.
But as soon as she stopped, she would think of Tina, that hasty separation, and that cursed thing, she didn't know if it was true or false.
The clue was interrupted, and her mother insisted on ignoring her, and she didn't know what to do at all.
"No, I'll tell you as soon as I have any news." Qu Jingbo's biggest worry is that she will take care of things related to Tina.
"Okay." Luo Chu grabbed his shirt and was attracted by the movie again, Qu Jingbo saw the little woman laughing, but he sighed heavily in his heart.
At this moment, in a high-end restaurant, a personable middle-aged man sat by the window from four o'clock in the afternoon, and the wait was a full six hours.
The waiter came a few times, and each time his answer was wait, wait, wait.
Sitting by the window, he could see the people coming and going below, and the endless stream of vehicles, and the snow was still so cold, and it was falling for an hour and an hour.
The waiter didn't know who the personable middle-aged uncle was waiting for, but he felt that he was soaked in sadness.
Although he has reached middle age, his figure is very good, he has not made the slightest fortune, and his deep eyes are occupied by pain at the moment.
is such a handsome mixed-race child, and he can still have such a bearing and appearance in middle age, which shows that he was also a superb demon when he was young.
In fact, many little girls now like such a middle-aged uncle, who feels calm and gentlemanly, and knows that he is a rich man when he looks at the famous brand on his body.
It's just that there is a trace of pathos all over his body, which makes people dare not approach easily, and he just looks at the window quietly, as if it is a stone carving.
It's ten o'clock, it's already time to get off work, and the western restaurant has long been gone.
"I'm sorry, sir, we're closing." One of the waiters said cautiously, they all knew he was waiting for someone.
Everyone has had the experience of waiting for someone, and they all know that it is very uncomfortable, especially since he has been sitting here and waiting for so long, he must be someone who is more important to him, but I don't know why that person didn't come.
"Okay, I got it." With a stiff movement, he pulled out the bill from his wallet and paid mechanically.
Glancing at his phone, there has been no text message or call about Luo Chu since he sent that message last night.
Is this how she rejects herself? But wasn't she still very interested some time ago? That person was her mother after all.
An Mi walked out of the dining room and out of the air-conditioned room, greeted by the biting cold.
He took out his mobile phone and flipped to Luo Chu's phone, and hesitated to press the button.
Just as he was about to press the dial button, a call came in, it was Tina, he picked up the phone without hesitation, and said in a gentle voice: "Hey." ”
"Oh, that project is almost there, can you come back to the United States?" Tina's voice has also become less sharp than usual in the company and has become very gentle.
"What, miss me?" An Mi suppressed all kinds of unhappiness in his heart, and deliberately used a mocking tone, he knew what the answer was.
Having been by Tina's side all these years, although he was the closest person to her, he knew that Tina had always been on guard and would not let anyone into her heart.
"yes, I miss you." There was an almost whispering sigh, and the man's body in the wind and snow froze, and his face slowly changed from shock to joy.
"You...... Say it again. "He couldn't believe it.
"I miss you, I want to meet you." Tina's voice rang softly in her ears.
"I'll be right back, wait for me." But because of her missing, the man has already been in chaos.
An Rong, who hung up the phone, coughed again and pulled a few pieces of paper to cover her lips, she knew that her time was short.
This time the cough seemed to cough up the air in her lungs, and Erica brought her warm water, seeing blood on the white paper in her palm.
"Master, drink some water." The color of blood even made her feel shocking when she looked at it, but Tina was like a nobody, maybe she was used to it, she calmly wiped off the blood stains and threw the paper into the trash, without any waves on her face.
Drinking the warm water, her heart was still cold, "Erica, what time is it today?" ”
"Master, it's just Christmas, didn't you just watch the live webcast of Miss's perfume before?" Erica reminded helplessly.
Since childhood, the memory of the master of the family has been very good, this is the inheritance of the family, and they are born to be more powerful than ordinary people, including memory.
How could she not even remember the time, all this proves that her body is getting worse, and it is getting worse and worse.
"yes, how did I forget so quickly." Tina smiled, then picked up the tablet from the side and clicked on some videos, all about Luo Chu.
"Look, this kid is amazing." Erica already knew the truth, and she didn't have to hide it.
"How can the daughter of the head of the family not be powerful, I heard that her new sales model has been praised by everyone, and the reputation of the perfume is also very good, right to the head of the family." Erica thought of something.
"What's wrong?" Tina looked at her suspiciously.
Erica pulled out a carefully packaged box, a one-of-a-kind custom-made version of the fragrance, along with a greeting card inside.
Merry Christmas, Mom!
Other than that, there was no signature, and seeing the vigorous and powerful words, Tina's eyes blurred with tears once again.
"Silly child, what a stupid child, obviously I don't recognize her, leave her, she still wants to recognize me as a mother." Tina was crying like a child at the moment.
Erica looked at the tough woman who was high up outside, like a queen, but now she was sitting on the bed crying so sadly, she had to sigh.
"The head of the family, the young lady is very smart, she has no signature, she should be aware of something."
"Yes, Chu'er was smart when she was young, she is so smart, she should live a few more years, and live like an ordinary person." Tina looked at Luo Chu like this, and felt that she hadn't done anything wrong.
"Now that Miss is shining in the business world, it can be regarded as a good example of the excellent genes of the R family, and the head of the family should be above ordinary people." Erica is also very proud.
"The R family? Hehe, on the surface, it looks glamorous, if there is a little bit of possibility, I don't want to be born in such a family, I just want to be an ordinary woman. ”
"I know, I know the head of the house." Erica knew why she was in such a hurry to call Anji back.
She was afraid that An Mi would tell Luo Chu the truth, this woman who calculated others, even her own feelings, wanted to protect her daughter desperately.
"Erica, you've been with me for so many years, you know what I'm thinking, just as I know what you're thinking.
I called him back because I was afraid that he would disturb Chu'er's life by talking too much, but there was another reason, my time was short, and I hoped to be able to watch him for the rest of my days. ”
"Family master, don't you ......" Erica was a little shocked, she thought that what happened in the Luo family back then hit Tina too hard, and it was impossible for her to like someone else again in her life.
"I'm not really heartless, I see his kindness to me, and I haven't responded just because I'm afraid, I know I can't be with him for a lifetime.
It's better not to give him hope than not to give him happiness in the first place, which is why I push him away again and again, but ......" Tina seemed to think of something, and a gentle light flashed in her eyes.
"But the person I want to see most now is him, obviously he is separated by me, I don't want him to see me so haggard, I don't want him to feel sorry for me.
But I still can't help but think about him, I'm crazy to see him, I know I'm selfish, but I can't control myself......"
Erica saw the always powerful woman bite the quilt, tears falling silently, this is probably the craziest side of Tina she has seen in so many years.
She has always surrounded herself with indifference, not letting anyone get close to her, in fact, she just doesn't want to hurt others, and uses this way to protect others, so that she can be bruised all over her body.
Erica really felt sorry for this woman, she leaned over and hugged Tina, "Master of the family, you are not wrong, there is nothing wrong at all, I think even Mr. An wants to be by your side the most."
Rather than the two of them being separated from each other, it is better to live happily together, do you think that if you are deliberately estranged, Mr. An will not love you?
Back then, you left him and were willing to wait for you to come back, no matter how much you treated him all these years, he has always been so good to you.
You push him away just because you want him to fall in love with other women, so that he can have his own happy family and no longer be burdened by you.
But after so many years, Mr. An has not changed at all, he loves you and loves you madly, so why should you deceive yourself again.
Do you think you're ...... Will he be with someone else after he leaves? A person loves you to the bone, whether you are in the world or not, he will always love you.
I can't guarantee others, but Mr. An, I'm sure that he loves you for a long time. Head of the house, don't push him away in the future, I really don't want to see you all sad and sad for each other. ”
Tina's wounds can only be seen by Erica, she is used to hiding, she wants to carry all the suffering alone, she wants to let go of it.
She had already been aware of it before she became ill, and deliberately transferred An Mi away, but she still missed it.
Her feelings for that person are unconsciously deeper than she imagined, Luo Alcohol is a scar on her heart, and that person is the one who kisses the scar for her and makes her forget the unhappy.
So she didn't hate Luo Alcohol, she didn't hate Liu Qing, and after he left, she knew that she was already lovesick.
She suddenly regretted it, "I can't imagine that I claim to be smart, but I can't see it clearly without you, so I have wasted so much time with him in vain." ”
"Master of the family, as long as you are willing to turn back, it is not too late, Mr. An is always behind you, and you can see him as soon as you turn around." Erica was relieved.
The three-day holiday passed in a flash, Qu Jingbo's companionship and pampering in the past few days made Luo Chu extremely warm, although every day things were so repetitive, but as long as that person was Qu Jingbo, Luo Chu was willing to go down with him hand in hand.
sent Luo Chu to the company Qu Jingbo before leaving, picking up Luo Chu to and from work has become his routine, even if Luo Chu feels sorry for him, he said that it is okay to let Xiao Mo pick him up.
Qu Jingbo rejected Luo Chu's proposal because he wanted to be with Luo Chu for a while, if it weren't for the two of them going to work, he couldn't wait to be with her all the time.
From the beginning of the unaccustomed to the current habitual, she will habitually kiss goodbye when leaving.
The moment she stepped out of the car door, she was not the little woman who was coquettish in the arms of a man, and the cold breath enveloped her body.
Three years in the United States have made her accustomed to wrapping herself in the cold, although she has changed a little, but the only people she trusts the most are Qu Jingbo and Mona.
Even Lin Xun and Shen Runxue didn't fully enter her heart, and the chill was a very good coat, which made people stop and dare not approach.
Qu Jingbo saw the back of the person who left with a cold feeling, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a light smile, it's so good, no one else can see such a cute little rabbit.
After three days of rest, everyone was in good spirits, and the perfume launch was so successful that everyone was happy as if they had won the battle.
There were still some people who questioned Luo Chu in the past, but now they are also obedient, although she is young, but her means are beyond the reach of ordinary people.
Although on the surface, Luo Chu did not directly declare war with Yan Nuo, but it was released at the same time and in the same place, even if the two protagonists didn't say anything, others would compare it.
Luo Chu was immersed in his own little happiness for the past three days, and he didn't take care of any official affairs, so he let his body relax when it was time to take a vacation.
When I got to the office, I found that everyone was talking about the previous thing, and the heat had not subsided.
Zhao Xiaokui came quite early today, she used to appear at the last minute of punching in, and suddenly arriving early made people feel a little unaccustomed.
When Luo Chu passed by Zhao Xiaokui, he just glanced at her and didn't say anything, she didn't need to say anything more about this matter, naturally someone cleaned up Mona.
Zhao Xiaokui felt a chill down her spine when Luo Chu looked at her, this was like the calm before the storm, and she wished that Luo Chu would scold her.
Luo Chu didn't say anything from the day of the perfume press conference, and Zhao Xiaokui also thought that Shen Runxue didn't tell Luo Chu about it, maybe she didn't know?
Thinking about it, she didn't have confidence in her heart, Luo Chu had already gone to the office, and the panic in Zhao Xiaokui's heart disappeared, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
Just breathed a sigh of relief, another cold voice came from his ears: "Zhao Xiaokui, come to my office." "It's Mona's voice.
That cold and piercing voice made the whole office nervous, and Mona exuded coldness all over her body, obviously a good thing, why was she so angry?
"And Shen Runxue, you can come too." She also mentioned it when she passed by Shen Runxue, and Shen Runxue had to stand up and go in with her.
After Zhao Xiaokui got up, it was like going to the execution ground, her mood was very heavy, she took a breath, she was still coming.
Shen Runxue didn't look very happy, she knew that Mona had always had clear rewards and punishments, and although this matter was resolved safely, she was not without mistakes.
The three of them disappeared into the office, a scene that looked like she had done something wrong when she was studying, and the teacher told her to go to her office after class.
Everyone else was discussing, "Ah Xun, do you know what's going on?" The general manager's face was very unpleasant. Sun Qian also felt that things were not good, and was a little worried about Zhao Xiaokui.
Lin Xun saw the look of worry in his eyes, and naturally knew what he was worried about, until now he couldn't see Zhao Xiaokui's true face.
"Nothing." Lin Xun is not a person who likes to chew the root of his tongue behind his back, even if this matter is Zhao Xiaokui's vinegar, it should not be said by his mouth.
"You must know something, Ah Xun, just tell me." Sun Qian was even more flustered when he saw Lin Xun's expression.
Lin Xun looked at Sun Qian fixedly, "Ah Qian, there are some things that I can't say more, it's still the sentence I advised you before, she is not suitable for you, you forget her." ”
"What do you know, and why didn't you tell me?"
"You'll find out soon enough." Lin Xun didn't say much, how many gossipy people in the office were waiting for this moment, how could he say these things, even if it was the truth.
General Manager's Office.
Mona is not very old, and she is also the one who broke out with Luo Chu, and she has long been as strong as Luo Chu.
She sat on a leather chair, playing with a pen in her hand, Shen Runxue and Zhao Xiaokui had also been in contact with her for a while, so they naturally knew her habits.
The rewards and punishments are clear, and when he came here, Zhao Xiaokui already knew the ending.
"What did you do wrong with this perfume launch?" Mona didn't scold angrily, but just asked in a cold voice.
Shen Runxue didn't find a reason, she lowered her head and said directly: "Yes, I almost made Candy allergic and ruined Mr. Luo's plan." She didn't say who did it, she just admitted her mistake.
Mona looked at Zhao Xiaokui again, "What about you?" ”
Zhao Xiaokui's eyes rolled, "I also know my mistake." She didn't quibble, and now everyone understands that her quibbling is useless.
"Okay, since you know your mistake, then you won't have to go to work from today onwards, go to the finance to settle your salary." Mona's methods are the same as Luo Chu's, and she will definitely not drag her feet.
"Just me?" Although Zhao Xiaokui had been mentally prepared for a long time, she originally wanted to drag Shen Runxue into the water together, but who knew that she was the only one who would suffer now.
So didn't the two slaps she received in vain? Suddenly, my heart was full of blood and blood, and I once again felt that God was unfair.
"You're alone."
"Shen Runxue also made a mistake, even if she wants to be punished, she should be punished the same as me, I don't accept it."
"The same punishment, huh? She is at fault, the biggest mistake is not to look at you, Zhao Xiaokui, you are so bold! actually dared to attack the guests invited by Mr. Luo.
If you have a candy allergy this time, do you know what kind of bad effects it will bring? You know, it's because you know that you do it.
I think the company is not bad for you, how could you be so vicious and put your personal grudges in this place to do such a thing.
almost ruined Mr. Luo's press conference, and even more almost ruined our company, Zhao Xiaokui, how vicious your heart is! ”
Mona has always been calm, although she is not very old, she can control all aspects very well, and in the past few months, Luo Chu has not been there, and everyone regards Mona as the first leader.
The whole company is very convinced, she handles things with a clear distinction between public and private, and no one dares to do anything unfavorable to the company, Zhao Xiaokui is really crazy.
Because of the jealousy in her heart, coupled with her previous dissatisfaction with Luo Chu, she was dizzy for a while to do such a thing.
Zhao Xiaokui was also very flustered when she saw the cold person behind the desk, it was the first time she saw Mona getting so angry and angry.
"General manager, I didn't know that there was mango in it, and I didn't mean it, if I knew that there was mango in it, I would definitely not buy that drink." Zhao Xiaokui is a person who can speak well.
In the past few months in the company, in addition to being dissatisfied with some people, she is still very satisfied with the company.
Not only are the office conditions very good, but the benefits are also very good, and now how many people want to squeeze into it even after sharpening their heads.
She finally came into the company, how could she really want to get out of here?
Besides, she hasn't found a better company yet, and her parents at home were so happy that she had found such a good job, and she couldn't imagine being fired.
She did this before with the intention of dragging everyone into the water, if Shen Runxue, Lin Xun and Luo Chu were buried with her, her heart would be a little better.
Now that the matter has come to a successful conclusion and the whole launch event has been a success, everyone is talking about it, and Sun and the perfume brand have spread all at once.
No one was injured in this matter except herself, Zhao Xiaokui had a strong gap in her heart, she was unwilling!
Mona saw the complicated look on her face, and she also understood this woman's thoughts in her heart, maybe she was determined to break the kettle when she made the decision at that time, and now that things are not as expected, she regrets it now.
"Zhao Xiaokui, I didn't say what kind of hot drink you bought at all, if it's really as you said that you didn't know that the waiter put mangoes in it, then how did you know that there were mangoes in it?" Mona asked coldly.
Hearing Mona's words, Zhao Xiaokui's back was cold, but she quickly stabilized her mind, "I heard Runxue say that there are mangoes in it before. ”
"Zhao Xiaokui, I asked you if there was a mango in it, and your attitude at the time was clearly that you knew what was in it, did you forget what you did yourself?" Shen Runxue didn't expect that things had come to this point, and Zhao Xiaokui could still be cheeky and not admit it.
Zhao Xiaokui didn't care what Shen Runxue was thinking, now as long as she was allowed to stay, she wouldn't think about anything else at all.
