patting the back of Qiao Ruoqing's hand, Tang Lan said: "Xiaoqing, you kid is really capable, tonight's activity was very successful, and I think everyone is very satisfied with you!" Don't worry, no one can snatch Qiao's from you! ”

"Thank you, Aunt Tang." Qiao Ruoqing said, and glanced at Huo Jingyuan again, "But in fact, the prize of tonight's lottery ......"

She originally wanted to say that the prize was Huo Jingyuan's idea.

She is not the kind of person who is greedy for credit, she is in front of the employees because of her identity as the chairman, but she doesn't need it in front of Tang Lan.

However, Huo Jingyuan knew what she was going to say, and before she finished speaking, he said to Tang Lan: "Mom, what did you just say?" ”

Being reminded by Huo Jingyuan like this, Tang Lan hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, if you don't say it, I almost forgot!" ”

Huo Jingyuan was a little helpless.

How can such a thing be forgotten? And in addition to helping Qiao Ruoqing support the field, the main purpose of their coming over today is this, okay?

However, Huo Jingyuan only thought about it in his heart and did not say it.

Seeing Huo Jingyuan's expression, Tang Lan knew that there was a burst of joy in his heart. This kid usually teases him with little effect, and it's rare to see him show such an expression!

While thinking about it, he took Qiao Ruoqing's hand and got down to business: "Xiaoqing, don't you have to go to work from tomorrow?" ”

I don't know why Tang Lan asked this, but Qiao Ruoqing still nodded honestly, "Well, from tomorrow, the company will officially have a holiday, and I will start working on the eighth day of the new year." ”

"In that case, how about you come to our house for the New Year?" Without waiting for Qiao Ruoqing's words to land, Tang Lan immediately asked again.

Qiao Ruoqing was stunned.

Go...... The Huo family's New Year? Tang Lan's words are ...... What do you mean?

Seeing Qiao Ruoqing looking at herself stunned and not speaking, Tang Lan smiled again and held her hand tighter, "Now your family is alone, and the Chinese New Year is too lonely, so go to our house and be lively, how about it?" ”

"No need...... Qiao Ruoqing felt that this was not good, and pulled her hand out, but it was still held in Tang Lan's hand, "Aunt Tang, you are a family of three, what do I say in the past...... How inconvenient? ”

"What's inconvenient? We've always treated you like family! Just talking about it doesn't count, Tang Lan also looked at his son standing next to him, "Xiaojing, you said yes?" ”

Huo Jingyuan naturally didn't say anything against it, so he said "um".

The voice is not loud, but it is different from the usual coldness in the company, with a hint of other meaning.

Qiao Ruoqing pursed her lips.

That being said, it's not really a family after all...... Celebrating the New Year together or something, it seems a little inappropriate......

"Aunt Tang......"

"I've been friends with Shuyi for so many years, and now that she's gone, I should help her take care of you." Tang Lan patted the back of Qiao Ruoqing's hand, "So, don't refuse Auntie, okay?" ”

I met by chance on the street before, whether Tang Lan asked Qiao Ruoqing to go shopping, or invited Qiao Ruoqing to eat at home, Tang Lan's tone was actually a little strong.

But this time it was different, she lowered her voice, and the look in her eyes, which was clearly a request.

Such an elder who has loved him for many years speaks to himself in this tone......

The corners of Qiao Ruoqing's lips tightened a little, and she looked at Huo Jingyuan again, just colliding with Huo Jingyuan's gaze.

The man looked at her with a slight curl of his lips and nodded at her.

Finally, Qiao Ruoqing couldn't say anything more about refusal, so she had to nod her head as well.

Seeing that Qiao Ruoqing finally agreed, Tang Lan finally breathed a sigh of relief as if she had fulfilled some wish, "Great, Xiaoqing!" Then you can come over tomorrow, I will let Xiaojing pick you up, and I will let someone clean up your room when I go back tonight, and we will celebrate the New Year together this year! ”

……

On the way back, Zhou Liang reported the situation to Qiao Ruoqing while driving, saying that he had sent the gifts of Zhao Xin and Li Yongqiang to them, and the two were also very satisfied, and asked him to tell Qiao Ruoqing that no matter what he wanted to do, he would let it go, and they would stand on Qiao Ruoqing's side at any time.

After conveying the words that the two directors let themselves convey, Zhou Liang waited for Qiao Ruoqing's reply.

None of them are people who talk much, but according to Zhou Liang's understanding of Qiao Ruoqing, Qiao Ruoqing should have reacted somewhat at this time.

After all, he also heard that when Qiao Ruoqing just wanted to win over those two, the two of them still wanted to protect themselves, and later they also saw Huo Jingyuan helping Qiao Ruoqing to stand on Qiao Ruoqing's side, and now that it is the Chinese New Year, Qiao Ruoqing has given them some benefits, and they look like they are willing to go to the soup and fight the fire, which is also very realistic, Qiao Ruoqing can't get used to it.

But to Zhou Liang's surprise, the back seat was quiet, and there was no sound at all.

glanced in the rearview mirror, and found that Qiao Ruoqing was holding her cheeks in her hands, looking at the night scene outside the window thoughtfully, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

The dim streetlights struck her face and body through the branches that had already fallen leaves, and all kinds of irregular shapes swept by, alternating and changing, but she rarely even blinked her eyes.

Is this something on the mind?

"Mr. Qiao?" Zhou Liang shouted.

Qiao Ruoqing came back to her senses and glanced at the driver's seat, "Huh? What did you say? ”

Zhou Liang didn't answer, just asked, "What are you thinking?" Is there anything left undone? "Books.com

Originally, he had already booked a ticket and would go back to his hometown tomorrow, but if Qiao Ruoqing really thought that there was something else to do, he could also change it.

In any case, you have to do the company's business well first.

Qiao Ruoqing shook her head, "No, it's good." Zhou Liang, I've worked hard for you today. ”

"It's all what I should do, Joe doesn't have to be so polite." Zhou Liang replied.

Qiao Ruoqing didn't speak again, and continued to turn her head to look out the window.

Tomorrow, I'm going to Huo's house!

When she saw Tang Lan at the annual meeting, she didn't think much about it, she felt that Huo Jingyuan had shares in the company, and she specially invited her, so it was understandable for Tang Lan to come over.

It wasn't until the end of the annual meeting that she knew the purpose of Tang Lan's coming over today.

It turned out that she was asked to go to Huo's house for the New Year.

Spring festival...... A day of family reunion.

She knew that Tang Lan and Huo Jiang were very good to her, but after all, she was an outsider, and it was a little inappropriate to go to someone's house for the New Year, so she wanted to refuse politely, but Tang Lan didn't even give her a chance.

In fact, she doesn't have any special feelings about the New Year.

In her previous life, she was looking forward to it, her parents would give her New Year's money every time she celebrated the New Year, and the family watched the Spring Festival Gala lively, although she felt that there was nothing to see, but she was also willing to accompany her parents.

Later, her parents died one after another, she married into the Song family, and she was imprisoned not long after, except for the people who brought her food on time, and the people who came to torture her from time to time, basically she was locked up in that dark place alone, her legs were wasted, she couldn't walk, she could only crawl on the ground, and her face was ruined, Qiao Ruolan also brought her a mirror, so that she could look at her ruined, flesh and blood face every day.

The Chinese New Year is even more unfamiliar to her.

During this time, she has been busy with the company's affairs, and she didn't pay much attention to it, but now when she calms down, she finds that the whole city is full of lights, festive red lanterns are hung on both sides of the road, and banners wishing residents a happy new year are also pulled at the entrance of the community, and the people on the street are smiling, talking and laughing, a harmonious scene.

She dropped the window a little, and the cold wind poured in fiercely through the cracks, but she didn't feel cold at all, but gently curled the corners of her mouth.

Because with the wind, she also heard the sound of festive and cheerful music: "Spring Flower" and "Wishing you prosperity", all songs from many years ago, but every New Year, there will still be many shopping malls choose to play these songs.

It turns out that this is the atmosphere of the New Year that has not been seen for a long time!

"Zhou Liang." She looked at the harmonious and prosperous scene outside the window and suddenly spoke.

Zhou Liang was called suddenly, and subconsciously asked, "Mr. Qiao, do you have any instructions?" ”

Qiao Ruoqing smiled and looked over at Zhou Liang, although she could only see his side face, she still felt very happy.

This is a living person, a partner who has been by her side without regrets for the past six months.

Yes, for her, Zhou Liang is not a subordinate, but a partner.

Leaning forward, she laughed out loud, "Zhou Liang, Happy New Year." ”

Zhou Liang was slightly stunned, but the movement of holding the steering wheel in his hand did not stop.

Happy New Year...... He has known Qiao Ruoqing for two or three years, but there are few opportunities to see him, and when Mr. Qiao was still alive, she would also attend the company's annual meeting.

At that time, she always followed Mr. Qiao, but she was always absent-minded, as if she was thinking about something else.

And he, to her, seems to be a transparent existence at all.

is so transparent that even he wants to say "Happy New Year" to her, but he has never had a chance to say it.

As if something he had been waiting for for a long time was suddenly satisfied, Zhou Liang's heart was instantly filled, and he responded with a smile: "Happy New Year, Mr. Qiao." ”

Then, in the rearview mirror, he saw the girl's face smiling sweetly.

The current Qiao Ruoqing, compared with before, is really very different!

……

When Qiao Ruoqing arrived home, Uncle Wang was sitting on the sofa, holding a small notebook in his hand, as if he was calculating something.

Hearing the movement at the door, he didn't even look at it, but he also knew who was back, and as soon as he put the notebook down, he said, "The eldest lady is back?" Tired today, aren't you? There's soup in the kitchen, I'll serve you a bowl, and then you can go and rest. ”

He knew that although there would be no shortage of food and drink at the annual meeting, there were a lot of things, Qiao Ruoqing was so busy and had a lot of entertainment, she definitely didn't eat anything, and her stomach was empty.

After all, you're still young, don't mess up your body.

In fact, Qiao Ruoqing was not hungry.

Maybe it's because I've been busy and don't feel that way at all.

However, knowing that Uncle Wang had good intentions, she did not refuse, said "Okay, thank you Uncle Wang", and then went to the dining room.

As a result, when Uncle Wang came out of the kitchen, Qiao Ruoqing couldn't help laughing.

Where is this as simple as "serving a bowl of soup"? There is also a specially prepared meal, which should have been kept warm all the time, so it was taken out so quickly.
