Chapter 69: Tangled

"You didn't know that you came late, this time the president is obviously giving us the people in the design department a chance. What is the concept of the new product designer for the next season, that means a salary increase and promotion. And if you think about it, our company's influence on the outside world. If I really became the main designer, I would be able to wake up with a smile in my dreams. Chen Ruyu said to Zhong Qi intoxicated, immersed in fantasy.

Zhong Qi was silent after hearing this, and he didn't say anything, and he was very entangled in his heart whether to participate or not.

Everyone discussed excitedly for a while, and I don't know who suddenly asked, "Boss, what is the theme of our design this time?"

"Eternal love."

"What? How could it be such a theme? Manager, are there any design requirements? The person who reacted immediately asked about the most crucial thing.

"The president didn't ask for it, which means that this design is not limited by the previous ones, but is left to you." The supervisor was very happy as he spoke, and he was happy for their design department.

"That means that no matter what we design this time, we just need to stand out, right?" One of them asked, suppressing his excitement, unable to believe that such a good thing could have landed on their heads.

"Yes, no matter what you design this time, every flower, tree, grass and leaf will do. As long as your design is good enough, you will be the main designer of the next season's new products. The director answered everyone's questions, and the excitement in his eyes was self-evident.

This design will definitely involve everyone inside, and no one will let go of such a great opportunity.

Zhong Qi began to be distracted when she heard the title of the design, and her heart was a little confused. I don't know why, but suddenly I felt that the theme this time was Lou Jin, specially designed for her alone. Maybe she's thinking too much, but she just can't control her thoughts.

Chen Ruyu asked with some excitement: "Hey, do you think we have a chance to be selected this time?"

Zhong Qi was still stunned and didn't hear Chen Ruyu's question.

"Hey, Zhong Qi, what do you think?" After Chen Ruyu finished speaking, seeing that no one paid attention to her, she looked at the stunned person on the side and asked with some doubts.

"Huh? What did you just say? Zhong Qi heard someone calling her, and asked with a little confusion after coming back to her senses.

"I said, do you think we can be selected this time?" Chen Ruyu looked at Zhong Qi and asked word by word helplessly.

"I'm not going to attend this event." Zhong Qi thought about it for a long time just now before he said his decision.

"What? You're fine, right? When Chen Ruyu heard this, she immediately reached out to probe Zhong Qi's forehead, and after confirming it, she said, "No fever?" Why is the brain not normal? You can't bear to miss such a great opportunity, if you wait for the next one, maybe you will wait until the Year of the Monkey. ”

"I'm serious, I really don't plan to participate anymore." Zhong Qi said seriously, and decided that he would not repent easily.

"No, don't be so anxious to confirm such a good opportunity, think about it first. Anyway, everything is decided, as long as you don't regret it. Chen Ruyu persuaded Zhong Qi that she had seen her design draft. I feel that that is not Zhong Qi's real level, she has been pressing her design inspiration.

Zhong Qi didn't speak when he heard this, and he was very hesitant in his heart.

Zhong Qi didn't speak for the next whole day, just took care of his own business. Chen Ruyu didn't say anything when she saw this, she just hoped that Zhong Qi could think about it carefully.

Sitting in the car after getting off work, Zhong Qi still looked like he was thinking about things.

After Lou Jin saw it, he didn't know what kind of decision Zhong Qi made when he gave the order in the morning, looked at her without speaking, and asked, "Will you go to that design conference?" ”

"I haven't figured it out yet." Zhong Qi said a little dazedly, she completely forgot about the contradiction between herself and Lou Jin when she thought about things at this time, and answered directly when she heard the question.

"Why?" Lou Jin knew Zhong Qi's level, but he didn't understand why she was so entangled. The change of this design conference was done entirely for her. If the host doesn't attend, there's no point in him doing so.

"Lou Jin, do you think I should participate?" Zhong Qi turned his head and asked with a straight face, the doubts in his eyes had not yet dissipated. She loves design, but she doesn't like to show her work in front of others. It's okay to say she's weird, or there's something wrong. It's her own business, and she doesn't want anyone to point a finger.

Lou Jin didn't open his mouth when he heard Zhong Qi's question, he wanted to tell her that this time it was for her. But he was afraid that she would be upset to say this, so he just remained silent and did not say anything. Whatever she decides, as long as she's happy.

There was silence in the carriage again, and neither of them said anything else, each thinking about their own thoughts.

When I got home, one went to the study, and the other went back to the bedroom, still looking like a cold war. There are too many problems between them, and it's good for each other to do that now.

Zhong Qi returned to the house and hugged Da Mi to lie on the recliner, looking at the blue sky and white clouds outside the window. She didn't know why she didn't attend, as if she was running away from something. She felt that she was very strange when she heard that subject, and the whole person looked pretentious. It's not like there's something she can't attend at a design conference, but she's like she's lost all her courage.

Irritably, he turned over, and just then the phone rang.

Zhong Qi couldn't look at the caller ID irritably, and picked up the phone directly.

"Hey, Xiaoqi, are you home?" Zhong Qijun's voice rang on the other end of the phone, and he asked with concern.

"Brother, I'm home, what's wrong?" Zhong Qi asked when he heard his brother's voice.

"Nothing, I just want to remind you not to forget to invite me to dinner at noon tomorrow, and watch your purse when the time comes." Zhong Qijun heard that Zhong Qi's voice was a little wrong, and then the two of them asked about the topic of joking at noon.

"Don't worry, if it's not enough, I'll definitely put you in someone else's shop and let you serve dishes and wash dishes." Zhong Qi replied jokingly with some perfunctory.

Zhong Qijun heard that Zhong Qi's voice was wrong, and asked with concern, "Xiaoqi, what's wrong with you?" Why are you so unhappy, has something happened? ”

"Brother, how do you know?" Zhong Qi asked with some confusion, as if she could hear it every time she was upset with her brother.

"After all these years, some of your little habits still haven't changed. As long as there is something in my heart or an unhappy appearance, I can't help but feel a little depressed when I talk to others. Even though you pretend to be nothing, you can tell it in the tone of your voice. Zhong Qijun explained to Zhong Qi, guessing what happened to her.

"I still don't seem to have grown much after all these years." Zhong Qi said a little embarrassed, and couldn't help but laugh at himself a little in his words.

"Huh." Zhong Qijun laughed in a low voice, and then said: "Xiaoqi, you can tell me anything, don't be alone in your heart."

Zhong Qi struggled for a moment by himself, and said, "Brother, our company recently had a design conference, I don't know if I should go to it."

"Why doesn't Xiaoqi go? You've loved design since you were a kid, and when you come across such a great opportunity, why don't you go? I know you don't want to prove yourself with these things, but how can you miss such a great opportunity to put in front of yourself? Zhong Qijun on the other end of the phone opened his mouth to persuade, and when he heard the news that Zhong Qi inadvertently leaked, he had a plan in his heart.

Zhong Qi was silent when she heard her brother's persuasion, and the reason why she didn't want to participate was nothing more than because of that theme. Lou Jin didn't say anything more to her, maybe she was just thinking too much.

"Xiaoqi sometimes has some things that should be seized, and if such a good opportunity is missed, it may not be there next time." Zhong Qijun knew that Zhong Qi was still entangled, so he opened his mouth and continued to persuade. He hoped that she would be able to attend the design conference so that he would have the opportunity to do something else.

"Brother, let me think about it again." Zhong Qi's heart was very chaotic, and he said with some indecisiveness.

"Xiaoqi, I hope you can think carefully, I hope your efforts can be rewarded, and not give up for one reason or another. Don't worry too much about an opportunity that you finally have, if you worry too much, you will regret it when you lose it. Zhong Qijun didn't have a chance to think about it with Zhong Qi, but directly opened his mouth and continued to persuade.

"Brother, I also know that what you said is right, but I am very confused now, and I really don't know what to do." Zhong Qi was forced to be anxious, and subconsciously wanted to refuse.

"Originally, this is your business, and I can't say much, but I really hope you can take this opportunity." Zhong Qijun said with retreat as advance.

"Brother, I know what you mean, you let me think again." Zhong Qi still hasn't made up her mind, she doesn't know why she is a little resistant to this matter, obviously this is a good thing, but she can't make up her mind.

Lou Jin was in the study thinking about what Zhong Qi said in the car today, he thought that he made such a decision, and the little woman liked it. But looking at her tangled appearance, he wondered if he had made the wrong decision.

Zhong Qi and Zhong Qijun talked for a while before hanging up the phone, holding Da Mi on the recliner in a daze. After a while, as if he had suddenly remembered something, he got up and walked to the study. Regardless of whether the two of them were in a cold war now, she still wanted to ask.

Knocking on the door and hearing Lou Jin's voice, she pushed the door in, this was the first time she had entered Lou Jin's study in the real sense.

Lou Jin originally thought that the old housekeeper was looking for him, but he didn't expect that it was a little woman who pushed the door in.

Looking at the meticulous appearance in the study, Zhong Qi was a little restrained and did not speak.

Chapter Eighty-Seven Determined

After Zhong Qi came to this home, she always avoided the places in Lou Jin's study, intentionally or unintentionally, and she felt that as an outsider, it was better to avoid these places. Even though they were married, she always regarded herself as an outsider.

Lou Jin saw that the little woman was very restrained, and stepped forward to pull her into the house. Zhong Qi obediently followed, without shaking off Lou Jin's hand.

"Lou Jin, I came this time to ask you something." Zhong Qi dodged Lou Jin's gaze and said. Anyway, she wanted to ask clearly, even if she thought too much, so that she could feel more at ease.

"The theme of this design conference is what I want to tell you." Lou Jin guessed what Zhong Qi wanted to ask, and said directly. Regardless of how the two end up, he wanted her to know what he wanted.

"Huh?" Zhong Qi looked up at him in surprise, originally this was just a guess in her heart, but she didn't expect him to say it directly.

Her face turned red instantly after her surprise, she had always known what he meant. Although I didn't say it directly this time, I told her indirectly. I was quietly happy in my heart, happy that the two people had the same heart.

"I know your concerns, and I know why you're angry with me. Some things are true and false, I hope you can tell clearly. Whether you believe me or question me, I will respect your decision. Lou Jin endured it for so many days and finally told Zhong Qi what he was thinking, no matter what happened to them in the future after saying it, at least his heart would not be so entangled.

Zhong Qi didn't say anything when she heard Lou Jin's words, and somehow at this moment, it seemed that all her previous entanglements were like a joke.

"Lou Jin, I really can't tell the difference between truth and falsehood right and wrong now. I don't want to wronged you for no reason, and I don't want my brother to be disappointed in me. I'm going to go to this design conference, and I'm going to figure out all the truth. It's just that I hope the two of us can calm down with each other during this time, or rather, let myself be alone. Zhong Qi no longer avoided Lou Jin's gaze and told him what was in her heart, after going through so many things, she still had a trust in him.

"Okay." Lou Jin replied simply, he couldn't bear to let his little woman think too much, so he would agree no matter what she said. He loves her and doesn't want to be her distress, everything will come one day and he will respect all her decisions.

Since then, the two of them have simply reached an agreement, and they have each other in their hearts, but they are quietly hidden in their hearts.

After going to work the next day, Zhong Qi saw Chen Ruyu buried in the computer desk, walked over and said to her happily: "Good news for you, I have decided to participate in this design conference." ”

"Really, you didn't lie to me?" Chen Ruyu asked in surprise, she felt that with Zhong Qi's level, this design conference would definitely win the championship.

"Really, I don't lie to you." Zhong Qi answered Chen Ruyu's question seriously, but he didn't expect his decision to make his good friend so happy.

"Okay, you can't change your mind all of a sudden." Chen Ruyu thought of something and hurriedly said, she was very optimistic about Zhong Qi winning the championship, and she didn't want to have any more moths in the middle of the road.

Zhong Qi smiled and nodded and didn't speak again, as if he had suddenly gone to a big event that he cared about very much, and his heart was relaxed for a while.

For the rest of the morning, everyone in the design department was immersed in their desks designing their own drafts. I finally came across such a good opportunity, and everyone showed their full level and wanted to show their talents at this conference.

Faced with such a stressful scene, Zhong Qi unhurriedly made a cup of coffee and sat at his desk to watch a video. She already had a rough idea in mind, but she needed some inspiration.

Chen Ruyu looked at Zhong Qi's unhurried appearance, and said with some envy: "Alas, you are really not in a hurry at all." Look at the whole office, which person is not immersed in hard work, which one is like you, so idle. ”

"I'm looking for inspiration." Zhong Qi took a leisurely sip of coffee and replied.

It's really not that she's not in a hurry, but now she doesn't even have a little inspiration, and it's useless to be in a hurry.

Chen Ruyu shook her head and stopped talking, and then buried her head in the desk and struggled sadly. Alas, people are really angry compared to people, so she doesn't envy them.

At noon, Zhong Qijun called Zhong Qi and asked her to come down, saying that he was already waiting downstairs.

Zhong Qi cleaned up and turned to go downstairs. After seeing my brother, follow him to the place to eat.

Lou Jin naturally received a call from the report, although he was very uncomfortable in his heart, but thinking of what he promised the little woman, he forcibly endured the discomfort in his heart and hung up the phone.

After the two of them sat down at the hotel, Zhong Qi said, "Brother, I have decided to participate in this conference. ”

"Xiaoqi, have you thought about it?" Although Zhong Qijun was happy with Zhong Qi's agreement, he still pretended to be concerned and asked.

"Well, I figured it out. Brother, just like you said, I can't let go of such a good opportunity in vain. I've loved these since I was a child, and I finally came across such an opportunity, and I had to seize whatever I wanted. Zhong Qi said seriously, full of ease after thinking about it.

"Xiaoqi, it's good that you can figure it out." Zhong Qijun sincerely wishes Zhong Qi, he has always known Zhong Qi's love for design. No matter what he had in mind, or what he wanted to do with her. As long as she is happy, he is happy. All he wants to do is just want the two of them to be together.

After the two of them finished speaking, they waited for the dish they had just ordered to be served.

This time, Zhong Qijun did not go to a big hotel for the sake of Zhong Qi's purse, but took her to a home-cooked restaurant to eat.

The two of them today don't have the same awkward feeling as yesterday, and they are very relaxed when they eat or talk. The two of them talked and laughed, as if they had returned to the old days.

After eating, Zhong Qijun sent Zhong Qi back to the company. What he needs now is Xiaoqi's renewed trust in him, so he needs to be patient. Let the two of them get along again, so that it is convenient for him to do anything in the future.

After Zhong Qi returned to the company and sat on the elevator, a design inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind. Extending down this line of thought, I have a rough model in my mind.

After getting out of the elevator, no one paid attention to it and walked straight to the front. I hurried all the way to my desk, picked up the pen and paper I had prepared in advance, and drew it.

She's always had this problem, so just in case, prepare everything in advance.
