"Hello, who?" Seeing that it was an unfamiliar number, Lu Qinglan thought for a while and picked it up.

"It's me, Xiang Beiyang."

"Mr. Xiang?" Furrowed her eyebrows in surprise, she didn't expect Mr. Xiang to call her.

Sensing the surprise in her voice, Mr. Xiang was a little helpless, and then went directly to the topic: "What you told you about joining Ruishang, how did you think about it?" It's been more than three days now. ”

"I ......" Lu Qinglan was embarrassed and didn't know how to answer, to be honest, if it weren't for this call, she wouldn't have remembered that there was still such a thing, so many things happened in City B after she went back, how could she have the heart to think about this?

originally thought that he would definitely annoy Mr. Xiang again, after all, it was tantamount to saving his face.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Xiang still spoke calmly: "Let's have dinner together, and let's talk about it again." After a pause, afraid that she would not agree, he said, "Qin Xin will also be together, just when our ancestors and grandchildren invite you to dinner." ”

After speaking, he hung up the phone, and didn't give Lu Qinglan a chance to speak again.

"What's wrong?" Trapping her in his arms from behind, Ye Ting asked worriedly, "What's so embarrassing?" ”

"Not count," Lu Qinglan sighed, playing with his slender fingers, "Invite us to dinner to the old gentleman, and Qin Xin will also be there, probably for Ruishang's business." ”

Ye Ting pondered for a moment, a little confused about the old man's thoughts.

"Let's go, I can't keep losing face." After thinking about it, Lu Qinglan still decided to go.

Ye Tingshen didn't say anything, just squeezed her hand, saying that he would support whatever decision she made.

After changing their clothes, when the two arrived at the hotel, Mr. Xiang and Qin Xin had just arrived for a while.

"Fourth, younger sibling." Qin Xin stood up and said hello, with a serious look, not at all as chattering as when they first met.

Lu Qinglan was still a little strange and uncomfortable, but after seeing Mr. Xiang sitting there with no expression, he understood a little.

After ordering a few signature dishes, after the waiter poured the water and went out, no one spoke, and the box fell silent again.

After a long time, it was the old gentleman who broke the embarrassing atmosphere.

"Xiao Lu, I heard that you have been looking for a job, so why don't you come to Ruishang?"

Lu Qinglan was startled by the sound of Xiao Lu, and as soon as he looked up, he saw Mr. Xiang looking at him sincerely, but he couldn't say what he originally wanted at this moment, and he blocked his throat.

As if knowing her embarrassment, he smiled kindly at the old gentleman, like an ordinary old man: "You just want me to be Qin Xin's grandfather, an ordinary elder, and talk casually." ”

Qin Xinyan on the side of "Grandpa ......" frowned disapprovingly, he didn't want to come, he didn't want to make Lu Qinglan hesitate because of his relationship, after all, Ye Fox said before that she was actually a soft-hearted person.

Old Mr. Xiang didn't care about Qin Xin's expression, and looked at Lu Qinglan with a smile as usual: "Xiao Lu, can you tell me the real reason why you didn't join Ruishang?" ”

Without waiting for her to answer, he continued: "Actually, what should be said, I also made it very clear that day, entering Ruishang, deciding can make your ability to a higher level and become more excellent, why not consider it?" ”

"Mr. Xiang," pursed his lips, Lu Qinglan met his gaze, thinking to himself, if he didn't explain it today, I am afraid that he would not easily reveal it, "What you said is right, I also admit that whether it is Ruishang or Ruishang Zhiyun, it has always been my dream, but ......"

However, before he could say the rest of the content, he was interrupted by Mr. Xiang.

"Xiao Lu, let's not talk about it yet," waving his hand, a trace of happiness crossed his eyes, and at the end, he suddenly picked up the teacup and stood up, "Before you say but, I want to say sorry to you." ”

In this way, let alone Lu Qinglan, even Ye Tingshen was surprised, the aggressiveness at that time seemed to be still in front of him, and now he actually apologized to a junior, can you not be surprised?

Only Qin Xin is still calm, he knows, his grandfather, once he wants to dig up someone, there is never a time when he can't dig it.

Before Lu Qinglan could react, he continued to the old man: "On the day of the Ruishang Zhiyun award, I'm sorry that I have a bad attitude towards you, if you hadn't saved me in time in the hospital that time, I'm afraid it would be very dangerous, but I actually questioned you for plagiarism, and then I thought about it, I was really ashamed." Including the day you won later, I never thought that anyone would refuse Ruishang Zhiyun, so there was also a problem with the way I spoke that day, Xiao Lu, I'm sorry. ”

"...... to the old man," Lu Qinglan hurriedly stood up and said sincerely, "You don't have to be like this. ”

"Hey," Xiang said with a smile and a wave of his hand, deliberately in a joking tone, "doesn't Xiao Lu accept my apology?" For Qin Xin's sake, forgive me, an old man, okay? Come, I'll replace wine with tea! ”

was robbed like this, Lu Qinglan couldn't say anything, she couldn't be so stingy and save the face of the old man, right?

Shrugging slightly, she picked up the teacup and smiled: "Okay, Mr. Xiang, please." ”

Seeing that she finished drinking a cup of tea, Mr. Xiang was very happy, and pursued while he was victorious: "Xiao Lu, can you think about it again?" I know that there is a reason why I was suspicious of you before when you refused to join Ruishan, right? Speaking of which, I just hope you can think about it. ”

Hearing this, Lu Qinglan was silent, and suddenly didn't know what to say.

It is true that what Mr. Xiang said was right, she was suspected at that time, and later there were all kinds of reports, she actually minded in her heart, especially when it involved Ye Tingshen, she was subconsciously a little disgusted, and naturally excluded Ruishang.

Later, she gave up the trophy and never regretted it.

But now, Mr. Xiang said twice before and after, and pushed herself into an embarrassing position, if she didn't agree, others would feel that she didn't know what to do, but if she agreed, I am afraid that others would also say that she was coy.

Lu Qinglan, who has never cared about other people's opinions, became entangled for the first time.

Ye Tingshen held her hand and put it in his palm at the right time, and the warm feeling instantly spread to his heart.

Turning his head sideways and seeing his encouraging gaze, Lu Qinglan suddenly felt that he had an answer in his heart.

With a shallow smile, she then looked back at the old man: "Mr. Xiang, I ...... it"

Just then, the door to the box opened, and the two who came in interrupted what she was about to say.

"Teacher," Ling Wei was the first to come in, dressed in a decent OL outfit with a gentle and capable ability that could not be ignored, "I'm sorry to come a little late, I just finished the interview." ”

"Teacher." Then there was Qiao Zhishan, who shouted respectfully to the old gentleman, but there was a trace of gloom when his eyes swept over Qin Xin.

Seeing the two of them coming, Mr. Xiang was happy again, and said happily to Lu Qinglan: "Xiao Lu, in fact, I invite you to dinner today, in addition to the incident just now, there is one more thing I want to tell you, the interview you did for Wang Qin, the other party is very satisfied, and this issue of the magazine is also selling very well because of your interview, which can be said to be the first shot." ”

mentioned that the results were gratifying, Mr. Xiang couldn't help but be overjoyed, and he strengthened his determination to dig Lu Qinglan over.

Thinking of this, he continued, "So thank you, Xiao Lu. Ling Wei and Zhishan also want to toast you, in addition to thanking, they are also apologies. ”

Lu Qinglan was not proud of the good sales of the magazine, after all, she was just doing a favor, not as exaggerated as she said to the old man, what surprised her was his last sentence.

It's just that before she could think deeply, Ling Wei had already poured a cup of tea, held it in the air, and smiled lightly: "Lu Qinglan, thank you for doing the interview for me, and you didn't let this issue of the magazine open the skylight." Also, on behalf of Ruishang, I would like to apologize to you on behalf of Ruishang, and hope that we can forget about these unpleasantness, and then realize our dreams and values together in Ruishang. ”

After speaking, she didn't wait for Lu Qinglan to react, she drank it all directly, and then looked at Qiao Zhishan and motioned for her to speak.

Qiao Zhishan frowned obviously, and the corners of her mouth faintly hooked a disdainful arc: "I have nothing to say!" Miss Lu also has no definite evidence that there is no plagiarism! ”

Lu Qinglan was not surprised at all by her appearance, but at the same time, he would not take her words at ease. Ye Tingshen looked at Qiao Zhishan and thought about it.

Mr. Xiang's face was slightly unbearable, and he roared in a low voice: "Zhishan! What nonsense! ”

Seeing this, Ling Wei tugged at her sleeve and gave her a look where others couldn't see her.

Halfway through, Qiao Zhishan picked up the teacup, took a few deep breaths, and said reluctantly: "Miss Lu, I'm sorry, I didn't investigate and suspect you clearly, and I'm sorry for the reputational damage caused to you." ”

is as cold as Qiao Zhi's shirt, and it is rare to be able to say such things to a person who can be said to be a newcomer.

One after the other, the apologies and thanks of the three of them, if Lu Qinglan didn't understand their intentions, he would really be stupid.

I really have to make a decision today.

I sighed secretly in my heart, but I still had to smile on my face, and after a cup of tea, everyone who was standing sat down.

Looking at Qin Xin, who didn't speak much, and Ye Tingshen, who was always silent and like an outsider, Lu Qinglan thought about what to say next, in today's situation, she can only make a decision, whether it is Ye Tingshen or Qin Xin, it is not easy to speak.

"Xiao Lu, how are you thinking about it?" Mr. Xiang has always known what kind of poaching method is the best, for Lu Qinglan, he can't be delayed, he must succeed on the spot, "For the sake of the four of us, join us Ruishang." ”

As he spoke, he dragged Qin Xin down again, except for helplessness, Qin Xin really didn't know how to get it.

"Mr. Xiang, don't say that." Lu Qinglan opened his mouth, with a just right smile on the corner of his mouth, "I'm glad to join Ruishang." ”

In the end, she couldn't help refusing this situation. In fact, she really didn't know if such a decision was good or bad.

In a word, the matter was finally settled, and Mr. Xiang was very happy, and he was busy beckoning to eat more, but only he knew what kind of thoughts they had.

The meal ended in such an atmosphere, and after Ye Tingshen and Qin Xin said a few words, they took Lu Qinglan's hand and prepared to leave.

Unexpectedly, Ling Wei suddenly stopped them with a loud voice: "Wait, Ye Tingshen!" ”
