Chapter 23: On the Eve of a Business Trip
"Expectation, I've been waiting for a long time!"
Xiao Lincheng had an apologetic look on his face, as if he didn't know how hard he had waited for him.
"If you have anything to say, just say it, it's still work time."
When he arrived outside the company, Qi Xu no longer held the politeness between his superiors and subordinates, and said bluntly.
"Expectation...... I don't mean anything else, I just want to help you, this time I heard that the notice of your business trip is very sudden, I have been in Changyang for a few years, and there are some things to pay attention to on business trips or it is necessary to tell you......"
"......" didn't speak, and even looked at him, quietly watching him perform!
But this kind of behavior means something else in Xiao Lincheng's eyes, "Actually, I know that you said that deliberately in the café that day, you and Shen Huan are not really boyfriend and girlfriend, so you and I ...... back then." The one you saw that day must have been recognized by you, it is the prince of Fengsheng Media, his reputation is really not good, you can save unnecessary trouble by saying that......"
"You're just coming out of me to say that? Then I'll go first, please go back! ”
Qi Xu really didn't bother to listen to his nonsense, and turned his head to leave.
Really, what if it's fake, is it possible that this man still thinks she still misses him?
"Wait......" Xiao Lincheng hurriedly called out to her, "Just say that you are on a business trip this time, I know, you are also going for the rest of your department, after all, it is the first time to go out, your director will definitely not arrange too much work for you, you just need to listen to his orders, as for the treatment during the business trip, it will definitely not be bad, maybe the customer will have extra ...... Hehe, you'll know then......"
Xiao Lincheng said to himself on the side, but he couldn't stop disdainful in his heart when he listened.
She admitted that she was attracted to Xiao Lincheng back then, and it was indeed Xiao Lincheng who had some ability in his studies, and his every move was indeed a little detached, but later, he ......
Until now, he has been completely impregnated and assimilated by all kinds of tangible and invisible filth, and I am afraid that even he himself does not realize that he has now become the most despised person when he was a student!
No, maybe even if he realized, he wouldn't have cared about it, and even enjoyed it!
"And Ah Qixu, I heard that there is that Shen Huan in your group on this business trip, although I don't know him, but my intuition tells me that that person is not simple, just an investment consultant, and has no real power, but he has repeatedly received 'special treatment' from the top of Changyang, this kind of person...... It's better to keep some distance from him! ”
Listening to this, he finally had some reaction, "I'm not familiar with him......"
"That's good......"
"But it doesn't seem to have anything to do with you, does it?"
Period Xu bluntly punctured his self-righteousness.
"Qi Xu, how can you say that, you know me...... I've always felt guilty about you back then, and I know you probably haven't forgiven me yet, but I'm alone now, and I'll be waiting for you when you can let go of what you did before......"
"No need."
There was still no big expression on Qi Xu's face, and he just refused lightly.
"Expectation...... Oh well, I just want you to know...... Then you must pay attention to safety when you go on a business trip tomorrow, especially beware of some people......"
"If nothing else, I'll go back first, and then ...... Thanks for the reminder! She bit the word "thank you" very deliberately.
"You and I are so polite......"
I'm not polite, we don't know each other!
However, before Xiao Lincheng finished speaking, Qi Xu had already turned around and left.
Xiao Lincheng, who stayed in place, had no choice but to sigh, in the eyes of ordinary people, maybe Qi Xu was just an ordinary person, just like him who was still enjoying the admiration of many female classmates in college, but now he knows that Qi Xu is not as simple as she seems on the surface, after all, even the people he secretly met can't find out what she was like in the years before college......
Today's period is either really not remembering the past, or it is too well disguised!
Although he hasn't officially talked about his girlfriend in the past two years, there is no shortage of suitors around him, but because it is too easy to get, there is no novelty, but it is the love and unspeakable mystery that makes him interested.
Originally, he was an aspiring young man who was on everyone's lips in Changyang, but now he was robbed of the limelight by Shen Huan, who suddenly came out!
Even on tomorrow's business trip, Shen Huan's guy actually went with him, how could he not be irritable!
Just thinking about it, as if he noticed that there were people around him, Xiao Lincheng turned his head with an unkind face, and this glance made him even more angry.
"Director Xiao, the malicious speculation behind your back is not the work of a righteous gentleman......
Shen Huan didn't know how long he had been here, so he just said faintly.
But obviously, the words that Xiao Lincheng advised to beware of "certain people" just now were heard by Shen Huan!
But Xiao Lincheng is not afraid of him, he is just a new employee who has just arrived in Changyang, and his foundation is unstable......
And he investigated after he met Shen Huan and Qi Xu that day, the two had never crossed paths before, although the two went on a blind date that day, but Qi Xu did not accept him, so in terms of momentum, he didn't feel that Shen Huan would have any superiority over him at all.
"Hehe, you're not much better, we'll see!"
After that, without waiting for Shen Huan to respond, Xiao Lincheng turned around and entered the building with his head held high.
Hehe, then we'll see!
……
"At seven o'clock tomorrow morning, the company's car will depart from downstairs on time, so you don't have to leave too early! [Squeeze eyes] [Happy]"
Since Xu transferred the day's meal money to Shen Huan two days ago, and urged him to accept it several times in a row, Shen Huan seemed to know that she didn't want to tell him too much, so he didn't send another message.
It wasn't until she stepped into the house after work that she received this message from "Ah Shen".
As for why Shen Huan is "Ah Shen", Qi Xu never asked, because he didn't know where to start.
And Shen Huan didn't take the initiative to explain, in Qi Xu's opinion, he was probably too busy, but if he didn't want to say, she wouldn't ask.
"Okay, thanks for the reminder!"
Qi Xu replied that in fact, Shang Sino had already told her that at seven o'clock tomorrow morning, the company's car would arrive at the door of her community.
"What's for breakfast?"
Unexpectedly, after expecting to reply, another message popped up in the dialog box of "Ah Shen".
“?”
Qi Xu suddenly felt a little abrupt and sent his questions over.
"Su Mi will prepare in advance~ [smile]"
The period was flattered.
"That's not necessary, I'll just eat at home in advance......"
"Xiaolongbao on West Street, or baked cakes in Yangchun Hutong?"
These two are the things she eats most often, and she said it when she didn't know the true identity of "Ah Shen" before, but she didn't expect Shen Huan to remember it.
"Lifelike, what are you doing standing at the door, wash your hands and get ready to eat!"
Jian Ying didn't know when she pushed open the door of the kitchen, and happened to see that she only changed into a slipper, so she stood there with her mobile phone and was stupid, so she yelled at her, almost scaring her to the point that her phone fell.
"My sister is back!"
Hearing the sound, Qi Dai ran over from the kitchen like a gust of wind, and obediently helped Qi Xu take out another slipper.
"Xiao Dai, why are you so sensible, Mu!"
Qi Xu was already in a good mood, and seeing Qi Dai's obedient behavior, he couldn't help but take the opportunity to steal a piece of incense.
I saw that the little guy's eyes widened as if he had seen something incredible, but in less than two seconds, he immediately turned sideways, bit his lip, and said quickly with a red face.
"Sister, wash your hands and eat!"
Then he trotted to the bathroom first.
"Hahaha......"
Ji Xu finally laughed out loud.
Qi Dai usually doesn't talk much at home, and he has always been a very sensible little gentleman, so the family will touch his head at most, or rub her face, and sometimes he will pick him up and turn around a few times.
Qi Xu still remembers that the last time he kissed Qi Dai's little face was more than half a year ago, since that incident, the little guy has become very independent, although he didn't say anything, but Qi Xu and Jian Ying both felt that he intended to keep a distance from others, even the closest sister and mother, so Qi Xu and Jian Ying chose to respect.
She was just a whim just now, but she suddenly discovered that the little guy actually doesn't reject being close to her!
"Is it that funny, you can't look down on the teacher you introduced last time, if you talk about it yourself, bring it back and take a look!"
Through the door of the kitchen, Jian Ying's voice came out again.
Period Xu suddenly choked, where is this!
"Mom, no...... I'm playing with Xiao Dai! ”
While explaining, Qi Xu remembered that he seemed to have forgotten to reply to Shen Huan just now, and hurriedly turned on the lock screen of his mobile phone.
It's still the conversation page of "Ah Shen", but the other party sent another sentence after that.
"Or buy them all...... [Grievance]"
Send...... Grievance?
"Then what's embarrassing......" Period Xu just typed out, and deleted all of them.
Although she had an expression of "grievance", Shen Huan's tone was obviously that she had already made a decision, and she seemed a little ignorant if she continued to be polite.
"Thanks!" Thinking that there will be Shang Cino and Su Xiao anyway, as far as she knows, those two should not be picky, she has also seen Shang Cino carry two buns from the company's restaurant into the office in the company, it's a big deal that everyone will eat together at that time!
"You and I don't need to thank each other! [Rejoice]"
After all, Su Xiao is the "first brother" in the secretary's office, and he is a big housekeeper for the entire high-level, and this business trip should be a piece of cake for Su Xiao, so he will confirm everything and what he eats for breakfast.
I don't know if it's because I just teased Qi Dai, but when I saw the message sent by Shen Huan again with a happy emoji, I felt a little cute!
Lovely...... How could she have come up with this adjective!
Thinking of this, she quickly shook her head and sobered up!
"Today you got off work early, tomorrow you are going to the Philippines on a business trip, I specially made sweet and sour tenderloin for you, the business trip is very hard, don't lose weight for dinner......"
Seeing that Qi Xu washed his hands and came over, Jian Ying said while serving rice.
"Oak, it's rare that my mother has worked so hard to make a table of dishes, so I'll eat a few more bites!"
Qi Xu deliberately said to the seven dishes and one soup on the table, ready to go to pick up the meal, and his eyes peeked at Qi Dai, who had already sat down.
Yo, don't blush!
"Look at what your brother does, he is too small to eat for you!"
Jian Ying glanced at her and gave her the rice bowl, and suddenly the conversation changed.
"Who did you just talk to about your phone? Have a boyfriend yourself? ”
"No...... As for colleagues, ...... who will be on a business trip together tomorrow"
"That's right, I'll see someone when you come back from a business trip......"
When he heard this, he was immediately embarrassed and dragged his long voice.
"Mom, didn't you just see it last week......
"But didn't you say that you don't have an eye, it's also my bad, your internship at the branch is a teacher and assistant teacher, and you should be used to the education industry, so it's normal to look down, but this time you are the general manager of a small company, although the company has not yet been listed, but the future prospects are still good, the young man's uncle is your mother and my high school tablemate, even he said that the character and appearance are good, I must be good......"
This lap is a little dizzy.
"You haven't even seen people and you ...... boast"
Qi Xu sandwiched two beans and chewed vigorously to express his dissatisfaction.
"I haven't seen it myself, but I can trust his uncle, who was a top student in high school and has excellent genes......"
"Tsk, no wonder your daughter is ordinary now, it turns out that she has inherited someone's 'ordinary gene'......"
"You kid ......" Jian Ying glanced at her with her eyes, took a long breath, and said patiently, "Just go and meet, after all, I have agreed with my uncle, even if you still feel inappropriate at that time...... Let's talk ...... again."
"Okay, but don't get your hopes up......"
I can't say why, I should have been immersed in the beauty of love at this age, but I didn't want to get involved at all.
It's like sitting opposite Shen Huan for the first time, it's not that Shen Huan is not good enough, in the end, she doesn't resist Shen Huan, but she always feels that she subconsciously doesn't want to try, and she doesn't want to take a step.
In fact, she also reflected on it, the "preparatory work" that Shen Huan did was nothing in the first place, but because of her further refusal to go further with the opposite sex, she instinctively wanted to insert a trumped-up charge on Shen Huan......
Now that she should be ordered, she also understands the real purpose of this nominally big meal for her on a business trip, but even so, she didn't say anything, just stuffed her head.
At the same time, Qi Dai, who had barely spoken after the whole meal, didn't seem to be in high spirits, and Qi Xu only thought that he had not recovered from the emotion of being stolen.
As for Jian Ying, who served vegetables for her sister and brother from time to time, she lost her mind a few times, and she didn't notice Qi Dai's reaction.
