Chapter 46: The Engagement
At some point, the car snapped to a halt.
Liang Qian, who was half-asleep and half-awake, finally filled with sleep, was suddenly shaken away by the bumps of the car body, and she opened her eyes and subconsciously looked out the window.
There are few pedestrians on the roadside, there are not many cars, and the shops on the street are closed.
Not all shops were closed, and the gates of one shop had just been opened by the waiter, and it was already half raised.
In this compartment, Pei Yibai reminded: "Get out of the car." β
The waiter at that shop was still anxiously waiting for the gate gates to be raised, and Liang Qian had already been pulled over by Pei Yibai.
When the waiter saw them, he immediately shouted, "Mr. Pei? β
When Liang Qian saw the signboard of the store, he woke up completely.
I was completely confused.
It is a jewelry store that is known for its wedding ring customization. During non-business hours, the waiter hurriedly opened the door, and only welcomed the man and woman.
Liang Qian's surprised gaze wandered and wandered between the shop sign and Pei Yibai's determined expression, and before she could sort out her clue or say half a word, Pei Yibai had pulled her into the store.
The waiter behind him hurriedly trotted to overtake the two and turn on the rows of display case lights. Another waiter who was following behind Pei Yibai and Liang Qian explained softly: "Since Mr. Zhang told me temporarily, our colleague has already gone to the vault to pick up more than two carats, and please wait for another quarter of an hour." β
Liang Qian stood in front of the dazzling display case, his mind was blank, and over there, Pei Yibai had already picked out two rings, and the waiter took out the display case.
Pei Yibai picked up one of them, looked at it and seemed quite satisfied, and turned his gaze to Liang Qian.
Liang Qian frowned and looked at the ring that was handed under his nose, and then looked up at Pei Yibai-
She saw Pei Yibai's thin lips slightly open, and Pei Pei said three words.
Liang Qian was indeed waiting for this man to say three words to himself.
Butβby no means these three that he blurted out at this moment:
"Let's get engaged."
Seeing that she didn't object, Pei Yibai took out the ring with one hand and held her with the other, which was to be put on for her.
Liang Qianliang was in a panic in his heart, looked down at the ring and put his fingers on little by little, and suddenly took his hand back. Pei Yibai's palms were empty, and he looked at the woman againβshe had already clenched her hands into fists and hid them at her side.
He couldn't help but frown.
Looking at the man's frowning eyebrows and bottomless gaze, Liang Qian's heart trembled again, and his tone was very eager: "I ......"
Pei Yibai's expression was stunned.
The chill on his face disintegrated little by little, which made Liang Qian suddenly not know how to continue. Between the six gods and no masters, everything is uncertain, and the only thing that is certain may be that his eyes are waiting for her answer at the moment.
Liang Qian finally gritted his teeth: "Give me a month." β
ββ¦β¦β
ββ¦β¦β
Half a month later, Liang Qian ushered in her first snow after returning to China, indicating that the whole city had stepped into a slow winter.
On the day of the first day of heavy snowfall, on Monday, at the regular meeting, Liang's former CFO announced his early retirement, and Secretary Zhou was promoted to the new chief financial officer.
Through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the conference room, you can see a white roof outside, the glass is covered with a fog left after the snowmelt, the air beam outside is already below zero, but the building still maintains a constant beam of 20 Β°C, after Pei Yibai personally read out the name of the new chief financial officer, Liang Qian couldn't help but look at Secretary Zhou diagonally opposite-
Zhou Mo was wearing a three-piece suit that didn't match the heavy snowy weather, which inevitably looked thin, but it didn't prevent the rare vigor on his face at this moment.
After the meeting, Secretary Zhou got up to accept the congratulations of the colleagues present. Liang Qian got up and walked towards Secretary Zhou, and was about to say congratulations, but saw Liang Ning walking obliquely, and came to Secretary Zhou one step ahead of her: "Congratulations!" β
Secretary Zhou looked back at Liang Ning, with a hint of caution in his eyes: "Thank you." β
This situation is in front of me, and I can see Liang Qian's feet. She thought about it, turned around directly, and walked towards the gate without looking back.
Soon Liang Qian came to the elevator room, and when he saw the people not far away in front of the elevator door, Liang Qian was stunned for a moment.
Pei Yibai, Secretary Zhang, and the two managers were all standing there, and it was Secretary Zhang who noticed her first, and nodded slightly: "Miss Liang." β
As soon as Secretary Zhang's voice fell, he saw Pei Yibai, who was standing at the front, turning around.
It's not the first time Liang Qian has experienced this kind of scene, but seeing Pei Yibai nodding at him very politely and detachedly, Liang Qian is still a little uncomfortable.
Until he entered the elevator, Liang Qian didn't smile.
Liang Qian forced herself not to focus on Pei Yibai's area, and was looking up at the number of floors changing on the prompt board, when her mobile phone suddenly vibrate.
Liang Qian took out his mobile phone and looked at it, and he stiffened. It's a text message. From-
Pei Yibai, who was obviously in the same elevator as her.
Liang Qian turned his phone slightly to his side, and then clicked on the text message: "I can't eat with you at noon, so I temporarily added the itinerary." β
She thought about it and was about to reply with an "oh", but Pei Yibai was one step ahead of her and sent another text message.
"He's promoted, you should be happy for him, why are you so unhappy?"
Liang Qian was surprised.
During the meeting, the man didn't look at her, and after the meeting, he left first, when and where did he see her unhappiness?
Liang Qian touched his face, but he couldn't figure it out, so he simply didn't reply to anything, and threw the phone back into his bag.
The elevators arrived at their respective floors one by one, and in a blink of an eye, only Pei Yibai, Secretary Zhang and Liang Qian were left in the elevator room, after arriving at the 64th floor, Pei Yibai was also leaving, Secretary Zhang, who was standing in front of Liang Qian, had taken the lead in getting out of the elevator, and at the same time, Liang Qian also moved half a step to the side, making way for Pei Yibai behind him.
Pei Yibai walked to the elevator door, passed by Liang Qian, and wrapped his arms around her waist from behind.
Liang Qian's eyes widened immediately, and the moment he turned his head to look, he happened to touch his empty lips. Liang Qian was so frightened that he shrank back directly-
The whole process didn't take more than two seconds, Liang Qian hadn't come to his senses, Pei Yibai in front of him had already smiled slightly, and then took away any expression, straightened his neckline casually, walked past Liang Qian, and got out of the elevator.
Leaving Liang Qian alone, he watched the elevator door close in a daze, before he came back to his senses, raised his hand and touched his lip, and smiled.
She had nothing else to do in the morning, so instead of staying in the office, she should go to the rooftop to breathe, but Liang Qian went to the top floor to find that the security guard had locked the door to the rooftop because of the heavy snow.
Liang Qian sat on the steps, his thoughts confused.
Look at the hand, it's 10:50 a.m., and there is only ...... left before the one-month deadline 14 days, 13 hours, 10 minutes.
She asked this man for a month, thinking that it was enough for her to think about it carefully, but she didn't expect that time would pass so quickly, and it was half a month later.
The countless temptations before were nothing more than wanting this man to give him a sense of security. However, marriage - this is the most insecure thing that makes Liang Qian.
What has she been thinking about for half a month? No, all the time is devoted to work, each other is busy, he doesn't ask, she doesn't want to.
At this moment, Liang Qian was sitting on the steps, and just as she was about to think about it, her mobile phone rang-
The assistant called: "Mr. Liang, the approval of the product has come down in advance." The design department has just sent two alternative design drawings. β
Liang Qian sighed: "I'll be back right away." After saying that, he hung up, patted his cheek and got up.
Liang Qian, who returned to the office after a while, seemed to have reverted to the workaholic who had left everything behind except work: "What about the design drawings? β
Hou's assistant designer in her office immediately handed over the design drawings to Liang Qian, who put the thick coat on the sofa while flipping through it: "Is the three-dimensional effect out?" β
The designer personally handed the mobile hard drive to Liang Qian: "In it." β
"Okay, let's go to the conference room now." After Liang Qian finished speaking to the designer, he immediately turned around and walked towards the office door, while instructing their assistant, who was following them, "Let people debug the projector in the conference room." β
ββ¦β¦β
In this way, Liang Qian worked overtime for another week. The whole person was very haggard, but very satisfiedβof course, only at work.
At one o'clock in the morning, Liang Qian put on a coat and scarf and left the company, planning to invite colleagues who worked overtime with him for supper. The group went down to the first floor, there were already colleagues waiting for the car on the side of the road, Liang Qian was about to get into the car with his colleagues, and suddenly heard the subordinates behind him puzzled, "Huh?" "Yes.
Liang Qian was just about to bend over and get into the car, but when he heard the words, he couldn't help but straighten up again and looked back at his subordinates. At this time, I heard my subordinate ask: "Isn't that Director Zhou?" β
Liang Qian was stunned for a moment, and followed the gaze of his subordinates to another parking grid not far from them. Zhou Mo and a group of employees from the finance department were also preparing to get into the car.
Zhou Mo also spotted them, and quickly walked in front of Liang Qian: "You guys just finished working overtime?" When he spoke, he let out bursts of white gas, and Liang Run was as good as ever.
Liang Qian's team and colleagues from the finance department decided to have supper together.
Liang Qian naturally got into Zhou Mo's car.
The heating was full, Liang Qian could finally take off the heavy scarf, take a breath into the palm of his hand, and finally stop shivering. Zhou Mo looked at her through the rearview mirror: "I haven't seen you for a few days, how old do you think you are?" β
Liang Qian also looked at him, "You're not much better." β
"No way, I've been working overtime for three days in a row."
chatting like this along the way, the atmosphere should have been very harmonious, but Liang Qian was still a little restless, just because Zhou Mo's mobile phone vibrated from time to time, but he never answered.
The first time he heard the vibration, Liang Qian couldn't understand what was going on, but he shook for the second and third time...... Liang Qian finally determined that the sound of vibration came from Zhou Mo's briefcase in the back seat.
Liang Qian was quite embarrassed, and finally couldn't hold back and asked him, "Why don't you pick it up?" β
As soon as she finished speaking, his phone vibrated again.
Liang Qian looked at his expression, and saw that he was motionless, so he had to help him take the bag from the back seat and deliver it to him. Zhou Mo obviously hesitated, and then took out his mobile phone from his bag-
But it was just hung up.
Put your phone on silent and put it in your pocket.
Liang Qian involuntarily frowned: "You ......"
Zhou Mo turned on the radio and turned up the volume, with a very rare irritable look, forcing Liang Qian to hold back and not ask.
The speed of the car seemed to have increased unconsciously, and in the silence of the two, there was a sudden "snap" sound in front of the car.
