Seeing that Manager Zhang, who had lost his ability to think, was "invited" out of the conference room by two security guards, and Vivian was also taken out, Zhong Qing did not feel any relaxed in her heart. The palms of the hands that were released were all sweaty, and her heart was panicked in hindsight.

At that time, when she found that there were documents in the drawer, there was not much time left for Zhong Qing to think, and Vivien's step-by-step pressing made her have no way to retreat, so she could only take all her moves head-on.

If Vivian's plan succeeds today, she will be prosecuted for "stealing company documents", and she will lose all opportunities in the design world.

Not only does Vivien want to kick herself out of the company, she also wants to cut off her own future development. It stands to reason that although she and Vivien have a holiday, it is not enough for her to be so desperate.

Zhong Qing suddenly thought, is someone behind the scenes instructing Vivian and Manager Zhang? Otherwise, with Vivian's guts, she wouldn't dare to do such a thing, especially with Manager Zhang, which would have been very strange.

The first person Zhong Qing thought of who could use Vivian was Zhong Nian, but now that Vivian and Manager Zhang were taken to the chairman's office for questioning, there was almost no chance of being able to ask them personally, Zhong Qing sat on the chair and fell into deep thought.

Just let Vivian and the people behind her go, Zhong Qing is unwilling, whether that person is Zhong Nian or not, he wants to put himself to death, if such a person doesn't find out who it is as soon as possible, sooner or later he will sneak into the people around him and continue to play tricks.

Zhong Qing rubbed her tired temples, she wanted to put all her thoughts on the design job, but she didn't expect things to be unexpected, and there were always some messy things popping up.

After experiencing the twists and turns of this day, Zhong Qing clearly felt that the group of colleagues who used to look at him with special eyes were now tentative.

Finally got off work, Zhong Qing dragged her tired body out of the company, Xu Ruo stood next to her car, saw Zhong Qing coming over, and greeted her warmly.

"Xu Ruo? How did you end up here? Zhong Qing said in surprise.

Xu Ruo glanced at the time, and didn't say that he had been standing here for more than half an hour in order to pick up Zhong Qing from work, he just smiled and said, "There are not many things today, I want to stop by to pick you up." ”

In the face of Xu Ruo's gentleness, Zhong Qing unexpectedly resisted, before knowing that Xu Ruo liked herself, she just regarded Xu Ruo as a friend like Gu Ziyu and Zhou Han, but after knowing that Xu Ruo liked herself...... Zhong Qing felt that it was wrong to get along with him.

Perhaps sensing Zhong Qing's embarrassment, Xu Ruo did not approach her again, but explained his intention: "Uncle Zhong called me this morning, he thought we were really dating...... So I want to have a meal together with the two families. ”

Zhong Qing remembered the oolong incident in the Zhong Group that day, and was very helpless, although Xu Ruo was trying to help himself at the time, but what he said was so true that even his father believed it.

"I've explained it to my uncle, but ...... He still wants everyone to get together for dinner. Xu Ruo said: "Didn't you get the call?" ”

Zhong Qing then remembered that he had been in a daze all day, and he hadn't looked at his phone much, but now he took it out and looked, and sure enough, there were two calls from his father, and a few messages.

"My father sent me the address and time." Zhong Qing opened the car door and said, "Let's go over and explain it clearly in front of them." ”

Xu Ruo stopped Zhong Qing, who was about to sit in the driver's seat, and said, "Seeing that you are very tired, I'll drive." ”

Zhong Qing nodded tiredly and handed the key to Xu Ruo.

"Is there something going on in the company?" Xu Ruo asked, "Is there anything I can help with?" ”

"It's just a small problem, it's been solved." Zhong Qing stretched her waist, propped her chin and looked at the scenery outside the window, and for some reason, she suddenly remembered the kiss in the Tianqi bar that night.

Gu Xiu held himself with a lot of strength, as if he was going to rub himself into his flesh and blood, Zhong Qing's ears were red, she really didn't know how she took the initiative to kiss Gu Xiu on impulse at that time, obviously she had rejected him like that before, and then she seemed to be reluctant to kiss him, what was going on?

At that time, the hand stretched out to Gu Xiu seemed to be uncontrollable, Zhong Qing thought of the kiss and swallowed his saliva.

More than 20 minutes later, the car stopped at the door of a restaurant in the city, handed the key to the parking staff, and Xu Ruo and Zhong Qing walked into the restaurant. Zhong Jingtian and Xu Jie had already arrived in the box, and the two had been chatting for a long time before Zhong Qing and Xu Ruo came.

Xu Jie said: "I like Zhong Qing very much, she is beautiful and capable, I heard Xu Ruo say that she is learning about design now, and she wants to open a design studio in the future, this child is really strong." ”

"Alas, this kid is just a tendon, very stubborn." Zhong Jingtian said: "Just said a few words about her, this kid lost his temper with me and didn't go back to the company, and now he works in a small company outside, alas, I really don't know how to say her." ”

"I like such a child with character! Ha ha! Xu Jie laughed loudly: "If she marries our family Xu Ruo, I guarantee that she will have no problem opening ten studios." ”

Xu Ruo pushed open the door and said to Xu Jie helplessly: "Dad, I told you that it was fake, and I had no choice but to say that Xiaoqing was my girlfriend because of the special situation at that time." ”

"Yes, Dad, Xu Ruo was also here to help me at that time." Zhong Qing then walked in and said, "You and Uncle Xu, don't make fun of the two of us." ”

Xu Jie and Zhong Jingtian glanced at each other, knowing that the two children were unwilling to say anything more about it, so they ended the topic silently.

"You kid really don't let me worry." Zhong Jingtian's words sounded blamed, but they were full of helplessness, whether it was doubting Zhong Qing before, or various misunderstandings later, Zhong Jingtian was always his biological daughter in Zhong Jingtian's heart, and he loved him no matter what.

Zhong Qing only smiled when she heard this, seeing her aging father, she couldn't do everything on the basis of reason, and she also knew that it was useless to be true to her father, whether it was the previous company's affairs or Gu Zihan's affairs later, in short, everything was over.

Zhong Qing was exhausted after eating this meal, there were too many things that happened during the day and too suddenly, she had not sorted out her clue, and now she had to listen to her father and Uncle Xu openly and secretly signaling Xu Ruo to interact with her, Zhong Qing really felt very tired.

Xu Ruo had been observing Zhong Qing's expression, and seeing that she was a little tired, he personally poured a cup to calm his nerves, and even offered to send Zhong Qing home after the meal.

Xu Ruo is really gentle, his gentleness is meticulous, but it is because of such gentleness that Zhong Qing doesn't know how to accept it.

She knew that Xu Ruo had been such a character since he was a child, he would think about others and others, not only himself, but when they were a group of children playing together, Xu Ruo always took care of everyone, including Zhong Qing.

It's just that after the group of children grew up, Xu Ruo's gentleness was given to Zhong Qing, which made Zhong Qing a little overwhelmed.

In front of the elders, Zhong Qing was embarrassed to refuse Xu Ruo, and the two of them got into Zhong Qing's car and didn't speak all the way.

It wasn't until the car stopped in the underground parking lot of Zhong Qing's apartment that she spoke:

"Xu Ruo, thank you today." did not embarrass himself in front of his father and Uncle Xu, but took the initiative to find a topic to change the topic and match their thoughts with the two elders.

The more Xu Ruo thought about Zhong Qing, the more Zhong Qing didn't know how to repay him, thinking that Xu Ruo was good to him because he liked him, Zhong Qing felt guilty.

"I said that between you and me, you never have to say the word 'thank you'." Xu Ruo rubbed Zhong Qing's hair and said, "Okay, you hurry upstairs and rest early." ”

"I have something to tell you." Zhong Qing plucked up her courage and said, "Xu Ruo, I have treated you as my best friend since I was a child, and even my own brother, so I want to ...... We can always be friends, you know? ”

The hand holding the steering wheel hung down, and Xu Ruo's smile looked a little gray under the lights of the parking lot.

"It's time to come." Xu Ruo sighed and said, "You are exactly the same as when you were a child, you never hide the words in your heart." ”

Zhong Qing didn't want to hurt Xu Ruo, but she also knew that it would be unfair to Xu Ruo if you didn't say anything and I didn't say it. It's as if he is taking advantage of his kindness to himself, even if Xu Ruo doesn't ask for anything in return, Zhong Qing feels guilty.

"Xu Ruo, I'm sorry." Zhong Qing said in a sullen voice: "I don't have that kind of affection for you. ”

"You liked Gu Zihan back then, and I persuaded myself to take the initiative to give up, but now? Zhong Qing, do you tell me that you have someone you like? Facing Zhong Qing's stunned eyes, Xu Ruo asked with a wry smile, "Is it Gu Xiu?" Zhong Qing, do you like him? ”

Zhong Qing opened her mouth, but found that the words of denial were blocked in her throat, and she couldn't say it.

Definitely not, not negatively, even Zhong Qing himself didn't know how he felt about Gu Xiu, if he didn't like it, what was that kiss? If you like it, then you agreed to Xu Zhiyan's words......

"If you don't want to say it, don't say it." Xu Ruo's thoughtfulness made Zhong Qing feel ashamed.

"Xu Ruo, you're actually very good, but we're not suitable."

"I used to persuade myself with such words, otherwise how do you think I couldn't bear to contact you abroad in the two years that you have been dating Gu Zihan?" Xu Ruo winked at Zhong Qing, his smile was gentle and bitter: "Don't worry, since you have rejected me, I will not pester you with a dead face." ”

"We're friends just like we used to." Xu Ruo looked at Zhong Qing's face and promised seriously: "Of course, if one day you realize that you like me, my arms will be open for you at any time." ”

Zhong Qing looked at Xu Ruo, who pretended to be strong, how true were his words? She didn't understand, but if it was really like Xu Ruo said...... It's really good.
