Chapter Ninety-Nine: Invitation to the Banquet

"What is this?" Leng Qingxi looked at Bai Shunan puzzled, and there was an invitation on the table.

Bai Shunan didn't speak, but just motioned with his eyes to Leng Qingxi to open it and take a look.

It turned out that this was a chamber of commerce organized by a well-known local architectural society, inviting local large and medium-sized construction industry bosses, and some elites in the industry.

"Invitation?" Leng Qingxi exclaimed.

"Yes, it's an exchange meeting, there's going to be a dinner party, but everybody has to bring a female companion, how about it? Interested? Bai Shunan invited.

Leng Qingxi had heard of this academic exchange meeting for a long time, but she never thought that she would have the opportunity to participate in it one day.

"Of course I am." Leng Qingxi replied immediately.

But soon, she whispered again: "This, take me there, is it appropriate?" Isn't it better to have all souls? Although she is young, she entered the industry earlier than me, and she is more comfortable with outsiders than me. ”

"Hey, what's this? It's just a female companion, are you afraid that I have any other ideas? Bai Shunan saw Leng Qingxi say this, knowing that she had concerns in her heart.

"However, I haven't been in the company for a long time, and I'm afraid of such a good opportunity, I'm afraid ......."

"It's true that you've been in the company for a short time, but your ability is obvious to all. This time, I heard that many celebrities from the design industry will be attending. By the way, your favorite designer, isn't it Ji Cheng? I heard that he also came. ”

"Really?" Leng Qingxi asked excitedly.

"Of course, how could I lie to you." Bai Shunan nodded and replied.

Speaking of Ji Cheng, he can be regarded as Leng Qingxi's senior brother, but he is a senior brother who graduated more than ten years earlier than Leng Qingxi, and he has always been a myth in Leng Qingxi's school, and he will go back to school every year to give a speech.

He is undoubtedly the most powerful designer in the construction industry in recent years, and he has always been Leng Qingxi's idol. Every time he sees Ji Cheng and returns to his alma mater, Leng Qingxi will be excited. At that time, almost everyone had the same dream in their hearts, which was to be a successful designer like Ji Cheng.

Hearing the idol of his student days, how could Leng Qingxi not be excited, and he would have the opportunity to communicate with him, which made Leng Qingxi even more excited.

"How? Is there any hesitation? Bai Shunan knew that this was a fatal temptation for Leng Qingxi.

Sure enough, Leng Qingxi bit her lip and stopped talking.

"Then, let's settle it like this, leave the business trip to Vent, and you and I will go to the dinner tomorrow night." Bai Shunan directly made a decision for Leng Qingxi.

Leng Qingxi didn't shirk, nodded and agreed.

"Then Mr. Bai, if it's okay, I'll go out first." Leng Qingxi said to Bai Shunan.

"By the way, Qingxi, are you free tonight?" Bai Shunan suddenly asked when Leng Qingxi was about to walk out of the office.

"No, what's wrong?" Leng Qingxi turned his head to look at Bai Shunan.

"I want to take you to prepare clothes for the dinner, I think you should be attending for the first time, how about it, do you need a staff officer?"

Leng Qingxi's face turned red all of a sudden, Bai Shunan was indeed very caring, Leng Qingxi had indeed never participated in this kind of dinner, and of course there was no clothing suitable for attending the dinner.

When she went out, she was still having a headache about what kind of clothes she had to prepare.

"Then thank you, Mr. Bai."

"It's nothing, then after work, I'll wait for you at the door of the company, let's go and choose together, okay?"

Leng Qingxi returned to his seat, and after a while, Wente ran over again.

"How? I said, you shouldn't go, you were rejected by the above. "Wente received a business trip arrangement just now, and he expected that Leng Qingxi must have hit a wall here.

"Hmm." Leng Qingxi nodded, affectionate but a little trance-like.

"Hey, what's wrong with you?" Wente stretched out his hand and shook it in front of Leng Qingxi, "Why do you feel like you've lost your soul?" ”

"Huh? No? Leng Qingxi was startled by the hand that suddenly stretched out in front of her, and she impatiently knocked off Vent's hand: "What are you doing, you scared me to death." ”

"I said, I didn't do anything, it's obvious that you are running away by yourself, let's say, what's wrong?" Wente leaned on Leng Qingxi's table and asked curiously.

"Just now, Mr. Bai asked me to go to his office, and he said that he would take me to tomorrow's chamber of commerce." Leng Qingxi put his hand on his cheek and said.

"What? That Chamber of Commerce tomorrow? Went shouted, drawing reproachful glances from his colleagues around him.

"Whisper, do you want the whole world to know?"

"That Chamber of Commerce, the boss also received an invitation? The boss is not simple. Venter said in a low voice.

This chamber of commerce has a long history in the local area, and it is very grand, and the people invited are generally very influential businessmen and designers in the local area.

"Yes, the boss said to take me to participate, but I ......"

"Hey, I said are you really stupid or fake stupid, do you know what level of people who participate in that chamber of commerce? What kind of designers did you have access to? This is what others want to go with their heads sharpened, what are you still rubbing here? "Went really hates iron.

"I know, so I didn't refuse. I'm just afraid I'll be embarrassed. ”

"What are you afraid of, you just have to bring your ears to listen to the seminar. For dinner, you just have to bring a smile, remember, keep a smile on your face, yes, yes, that's it. ”

Wente pointed out that Leng Qingxi gave advice, but was disturbed by Wente like this, and Leng Qingxi's nervousness and uneasiness just now were gone.

However, it was also given by Vent, and after a while, the whole company knew that Bai Shunan took Leng Qingxi to attend this banquet.

When Wan Ling heard the news, his lungs were about to explode. Why, in terms of qualifications, she is older than Leng Qingxi. In terms of contribution to the company, he can be regarded as a veteran. Why does Leng Qingxi compare with himself?

But on the surface, she still has to pretend to be very calm.

She plunged headlong into the bathroom and poured cold water on her face to calm her anger.

It just so happened that a colleague who had a good relationship with her on weekdays saw this scene and thought that Wan Ling was crying aggrieved.

She was indignant and upset for Wan Ling: "Why is she, since she was beaten into the company, I have seen that she is not pleasing to the eye, isn't it just a big project, what's the big deal." ”

"Forget it, don't say it, Sister Qingxi's ability is indeed stronger than mine, it's better not to say this, let everyone hear it."

"What's the matter, I want to say, how can she be cold and clear, let Mr. Bai take care of her like this, there must be some ulterior reason!" The colleague said unrelentingly.

"Mr. Bai will have his own considerations for whatever he does, so let's not guess casually." Wan Ling said calmly, in front of outsiders, she still has to maintain her kind and harmless image.

The colleague was about to say something, but he heard the sound of pumping water from the toilet, and the colleague's face changed, and he said that there was something to do, and then turned around and left first.

After a while, I saw Leng Qingxi walking out of it.

Seeing Wan Ling, she said with some guilt: "Xiao Ling, things are really not like that, I didn't know about this matter in advance, I only received the notice today." ”

"Sister Qingxi, don't listen to their nonsense, some people are just jealous." All souls smiled like a stream.

"Then you're really not angry?"

"What do I have to be angry about? As long as it is something that can be good for our company, it is not the same for whoever goes, Sister Qingxi, I still remember how you interceded for me. ”

"That's good, don't think about it too much, you have to remember what I told you that day, Mr. Bai and I really don't have anything." Leng Qingxi was relieved.

Looking at Leng Qingxi's departing back, the smile on Wan Ling's face gradually cooled, one day, I, Wan Ling, will take all this away.

She looked at herself in the mirror and said word by word.

Leng Qingxi finally got off work under the envious or jealous eyes of his colleagues.

As soon as she walked out of the company, she felt a headache again, she remembered what Bai Shunan said to herself today, and waited for herself to get off work. She didn't expect that attending the dinner would cause such a stir in the company.

Now that she has become the target of public criticism, if people see her and Bai Shunan getting off work together at this time, it will really be a wave of unsettled waves.

But fortunately, she didn't see Bai Shunan at the door of the company, which made her suspense relax.

After walking a few steps, the phone rang, and she picked up the phone, it was Bai Shunan.

"I'll be waiting for you around the corner, come here." Bai Shunan didn't say much, a few simple words made Leng Qingxi feel a lot more relaxed.

Bai Shunan is really a very delicate person, he can actually think of his embarrassment at this time, and do not leak, Leng Qingxi is very grateful to him in his heart.

Leng Qingxi walked to Bai Shunan's car in a few steps, looked left and right, and then quickly got in.

"What? It's like a spy joint. Bai Shunan saw her actions and asked funny.

"Still laughing, it's not because you're an old man. Now, the whole company thinks I'm relying on some kind of nepotism. Leng Qingxikou said unobstructed.

"Hehe, I wish I could sit down." Bai Shunan muttered quietly.

"What did you say?" Leng Qingxi didn't hear Bai Shunan's words, and asked curiously.

"Nothing, nothing? Let's go. Bai Shunan hurriedly changed the subject.

The two of them drove to a large shopping mall nearby, Leng Qingxi usually rarely goes shopping, the last time he came here, it was Mu Xuncheng who took him to find design inspiration.

This time, it actually gave her a sense of desolation of revisiting the old place and things being different from people.

She still remembers that day Mu Xuncheng put his arm around her shoulders and said to herself, "Cooperate a little." At that time, they were so close that she could feel the heat of his breath spraying on her ears. Perhaps, in this life, it will never be closer, Leng Qingxi thought pessimistically.

She sighed deeply and buried her head low, not wanting to see anything more sad about her.
