Chapter 203: Provocation
"I'm not going back." Xu Man refused without thinking about it.
"You have no reason to refuse." Leng Yan said in a cold tone, "At the beginning, I only agreed to Yu Chen to come over, and you came with me." It's good enough to give you the position of deputy director. ”
"Isn't it just a little joke with you? As for such a rush to kill? Xu Man looked at the cold banquet with a cold expression. It was as if the pampering and indulgence that appeared on his face yesterday was an illusion.
No, it's not an illusion, it's just that those things he will only show in front of Qiu Qiu.
Now this cold banquet is the cold banquet they are familiar with.
"I'm not leaving anyway." Xu Man threw the documents on the cold banquet table.
"I'm okay with my job, you don't have the right to fire me. I won't leave even if I am killed. ”
Leng Yan looked at the documents on the table and subconsciously wanted to throw them away, but Xu Man seemed to have expected his movements, and got up quickly to hold the documents, and the two of them worked hard at the same time.
Leng Yan looked at Xu Man's fierce gaze, Xu Man looked at him without showing weakness, and no one refused to give up half a point.
When Qiu Qiu came in, he saw two people holding a document and looking at each other. It's just that there is no affection, like two lions competing for prey.
"Why don't I go out first?" Qiu Qiu pointed out the door.
When Leng Yan saw her, he immediately let go, Xu Man took two steps back without losing his strength, and looked at Leng Yan's gaze as if there was a fire.
"Why did you come here so early today? I hope to see your resignation letter before I leave work in the afternoon. Leng Yan's gaze changed from soft to cold, and the last sentence was obviously addressed to her.
Xu Man rolled his eyes, walked to the cold banquet table and slapped the document in his hand on the desk, looked at him defiantly, and then turned around and left.
The low air pressure in the office disappeared with Qiu Qiu's arrival.
"Why are you here so early today?" Leng Yan walked up to her and took her to sit down on the sofa.
"The announcement ended early, otherwise I really wouldn't be able to see today's side." Qiu Qiu looked at him and seemed to be smiling, of course she believed in Leng Yan, but if there was a person who was always by her boyfriend's side, she would always be a little uncomfortable thinking about him.
"I've got her to resign." Leng Yan explained.
Qiu Qiu smiled indifferently, she didn't have to ask Xu Man to resign, and her intuition told her that Xu Man was not a person who resigned easily, she could see it at a glance when she looked at Leng Yan just now.
"She likes you?" Qiu Qiu asked, when they first met yesterday, they felt that Xu Man seemed to be a little hostile to her. Later, when eating, she said that she didn't eat her favorite hot drunken shrimp at all, and then she was basically sure of her lipstick.
"When I was in college, she chased me for two years, but I explicitly rejected her, and then I returned to China and gave up." Cold banquet confession.
"This Leng's crisis was also her and Yu Chen's initiative to come over, I thought she had put it down, so I agreed, I didn't expect to put things in my pocket yesterday."
"You don't know anything?" Qiu Qiu raised his eyebrows. God unknowingly put things on Leng Yan's body, and he didn't notice it, and this sentence didn't sound credible.
"Her family is more special, so she will do more. What you see is just the tip of the iceberg, and if she shows up at our house one day without a key, you don't have to be curious. Leng Yan said through gritted teeth.
The look of the cold banquet made Qiu Qiu couldn't help but wonder if Xu Man had really done it.
But she also plays some little tricks, people are very affectionate, have a lot of ghost ideas, and have a bad stomach, but sometimes she acts very brightly. When I was in college, she helped me solve a problem. ”
Although Leng Yan said lightly, Qiu Qiu knew that the trouble was probably not small, otherwise with his proud temperament, he couldn't let others help solve it.
The matter of the cold banquet is her business, although the cold banquet is not said, Qiu Qiu has secretly remembered that he wants to find an opportunity to repay Xu Man's favor.
"I'm a little curious about her when you say that."
While the two of them were talking, Leng Yan's mobile phone suddenly rang, and Qiu Qiu saw that the screen showed a foreign area code.
Leng Yan picked up the phone, the other side spoke in German, and Leng Yan also replied in German, Qiu Qiu couldn't understand, only saw that Leng Yan's face didn't seem to be very good.
"What's wrong?" Hung up the phone, Qiu Qiu asked worriedly.
Leng Yan took a breath, suppressed his anger, and said slowly: "It's Xu Man's brother, he said that Xu Man was forced to marry by his father recently, so he could only escape here, let me take care of it more, and I said to think about it again." ”
"I think it's good." Qiu Qiu picked up the document he had just read, "I think she has a very strong work ability, and you also said that she once helped you, so leave her behind." ”
"You're not angry?" Leng Yan took her into his arms.
"What do I have to be angry about." Qiu Qiu smiled, "And listening to what you said, I think this girl is quite interesting." ”
Later, Xu Man took Qiu Qiu to experience a lot of interesting things, and Leng Yan regretted that he had listened to Qiu Qiu's words and left people behind, of course, this is a later story.
Xu Man didn't have to resign in the end, Leng Yan said that it was for Qiu Qiu's sake. Only then did Xu Man know about Qiu Qiu's intercession.
Maybe it was a little prank that day, Qiu Qiu not only got angry but also helped himself speak, which made Xu Man feel uncomfortable, and he always felt a little indebted to Qiu Qiu.
"What are you doing sighing all day?" Yu Chen said disgustedly.
"It's not because of the girlfriend who feasted on the cold." Xu Man sat on the sofa with a big grin, the expression on his face was very tangled.
"Qiu Qiu?"
"Hmm. You said that if it was a man, I would invite him to drink directly, but she was a woman, and she was still the key protection object of the cold banquet, I wanted to take her to drink to express my gratitude, and the cold banquet would not send me a plane ticket directly to return home? ”
Xu Man pondered.
"That's all you have to worry about?"
"That's right."
"I thought you still liked cold banquets, and you found a way to get it back."
Xu Man gave him a blank look, "I like him?" Originally, when there was no Qiu Qiu, I thought I was special to Leng Yan, but now I find that there are completely two levels, and the relationship between the two of us is that of friends, or the kind that can be given up by him in minutes. Xu Man looked disgusted when he thought of Leng Yan.
"With such a paralyzed face, I owe him the whole world, how can I chase him for two years?" Xu Man was skeptical of his previous gaze.
"Because of the looks."
Xu Man snapped his fingers: "Correct solution." How do you say I am going to express my gratitude now? ”
"Don't you girls like to buy, buy, buy? I think this is good, have a good relationship with Qiu Qiu, and your domestic life will be smoother in the future, and you don't have to worry about being sent back to China to get married. Yu Chen suggested.
Xu Man nodded, agreeing with Chen's statement. So he immediately called Qiu Qiu and asked her to go shopping.
Qiu Qiu happened to have no notice, and when she received a call, she readily agreed, and asked Leng Qing to take her to the largest commercial plaza in the city.
As soon as he entered, Xu Man took Qiu Qiu upstairs, picked the most expensive store, and asked Qiu Qiu to go in to try on clothes. Before she could react, she was already pushed to the fitting room.
"You try first, and if it's not suitable, change it." Xu Man advised.
In less than two hours, Qiu Qiu had already carried a large bag and a small bag, all of which were the latest models of this season. It's all Xu Man's payment, and he doesn't blink his eyes when he swipes the card.
"I can't go shopping." Qiu Qiu grabbed Xu Man, who was about to enter the next house, "If you have anything to say, can you buy and buy without saying a word, so I am very generous." ”
"Isn't that what shopping is all about?" Xu Man touched his nose.
Qiu Qiu exhaled a breath of turbidity, pulled people upstairs, and found a tea restaurant.
After asking for two cups of tea, Qiu Qiu sat opposite Xu Man and looked at her, his arms on the table and his face holding, a pair of big watery eyes blinking.
Xu Man was a little restless by these pure eyes: "What are you looking at?" ”
"I feel like you're trying to please me." Qiu Qiu spoke while thinking.
Asking her to go shopping for no reason, buying her clothes for no reason, inside and out.
"Why am I flattering you?" Xu Man didn't expect to be seen through at once, and retorted stiffly.
Qiu Qiu gave her an expression that she didn't need to say.
Xu Man couldn't help but be a little frustrated.
"You said that Leng Yan liked you, if he didn't like anyone, I wouldn't have to live so aggrieved." Xu Man followed her example and looked at her on the table with his face in his hands.
"No way, I'm charming." Qiu Qiu said with a little sneer.
Xu Man rolled his eyes.
"Who gave you confidence. The most glamorous person in the world is me. After speaking, he didn't forget to tease his long hair.
"Back then, I was called the first love of the universe." Qiu Qiu replied.
"That's because I didn't go back to China."
The two of them began to deviate from the topic while talking, from a cold banquet to arguing about who is the most attractive person in the world.
In the end, no conclusions were drawn, but the relationship between the two people clearly felt a step closer.
Xu Man has been abroad since she was a child, and because of family reasons, the people around her are either flattering or afraid of her, so she has always wanted to have a real female friend.
And Qiu Qiu has a very good appetite for her both in temperament and personality, especially because she is neither humble nor arrogant, she has no flattery and flattery towards her, and she is not estranged because she pursues cold banquets, so that the two of them are very comfortable together.
"Sister Qiu Qiu, long time no see." The two of them were talking, when a voice suddenly interjected from the side.
Qiu Qiu looked up and saw that the person in front of him was Lu Xue, who had not been seen for many days.
"Long time no see." Qiu Qiu also greeted with a smile, his tone was not warm, but it was not unfamiliar.
"Deputy Director Xu is also here, hello." Lu Xue greeted.
Xu Man nodded in response, which was already rare for her, because she didn't know her.
"This is Lu Xue, an employee of Leng's Group, and also the life-saving benefactor of Leng Yan's nephew." Qiu Qiu introduced.
"Oh."
"When Deputy Director Xu appeared at the staff meeting that day, I was thinking that the new director was so beautiful. I heard that you and President Leng are college alumni, right? As soon as you take office, you will hold important positions, and it seems that you have a good relationship with President Leng. ”
"You've heard a lot." Xu Man glanced at her with a smile.
