Part 1 Staggered Time and Space Chapter 1 Everyday Life in the Present World

Section 22 Treats

Back in the office, there were few people there, and Yueqing couldn't decide whether to tell Chen Yuan or not, how to say it better. Zhang Peng was sitting not far away, and Yueqing wanted to discuss it with him, but this was a private matter, and it wouldn't be good to tell him. But anyway, now many people know and don't care about this anymore. Yueqing made up her mind, he believed in Zhang Peng's person, this person is still more focused on technology, not a person of right and wrong.

"Brother Zhang."

"Huh?" Zhang Peng was busy with his own business, and when he heard Yueqing calling him, he turned his head. "What's wrong?"

"Tell me something." Yueqing walked over and sat down on the chair next to him.

"What's the matter?" Zhang Peng smiled, Yueqing rarely has this kind of situation.

"Have you heard any rumors about the company lately?"

"What rumors?"

"About Brother Chen."

"Nope."

He really didn't know yet, could it be that the people in the technical department basically hadn't heard of it.

"It's just that someone said, Brother Chen 。。。。。" Yueqing picked out some key points and gave Zhang Peng a general explanation.

"Huh? How is it possible, we have been busy with the development of new products for this project for so long, these people may really say. ”

"Shall we talk to Brother Chen? It's good for him to be mentally prepared. I definitely believed him. ”

"It's okay, it's okay to talk about it. I don't know if he knows. ”

"Why don't we go and talk together?"

"Okay, go to him."

Yueqing and Zhang Peng went to Chen Yuan and saw that he was busy in front of the computer. "Brother Chen, do you have time?"

"What's wrong with Yueqing? If you have something, you can do it. ”

"No, I want to talk to you about something."

"Hmm." Chen Yuan turned his head and saw that Yueqing and Zhang Peng were there, and knew that he was not asking for leave, so he put down the work he was doing. "What's the matter? Say. ”

"Today the company is spreading something that says you 。。。。。。。。" Yueqing briefly said to Chen Yuan again.

"Yueqing and I are afraid that you don't know, so we want to come over and talk to you and see if there is anything we can do to help." Zhang Peng added.

Chen Yuan's expression was difficult to see: "Who said that." ”

"I don't know this, it's already been passed on by the company when I know it."

"Hey." Chen Yuan sighed.

"Brother Chen, is there any misunderstanding?"

"I can't tell you for a while, I know, thank you for coming to tell me."

"Need help?" Zhang Peng said.

"It's okay, I don't need it for the time being, I'll take care of it."

"Alright then, feel free to call us if you need to." Zhang Peng and Yueqing glanced at each other and said.

"Okay."

The two then left, and Yueqing walked out of the door and saw Chen Yuan, leaned back in her chair, and let out a long sigh.

------------------------------------------ dividing line

Yueqing didn't have any good way to help him at the moment, so he sat for a while and stopped thinking about it, let's talk about it when there is really something, after all, it's just a rumor now.

I remembered that we had to eat together tonight, and I haven't made an appointment with Xiaoling yet, so I have to talk about it quickly.

hurriedly sent a message to Xiaoling: "Xiaoling, where are you?" Back. ”

I didn't wait long, and my phone lit up: "It's here." ”

"What are you busy with?"

"I'm not busy, I'm at home."

"Is it over here?"

"Didn't you say you were going to Cao Linna?"

"His house hasn't been cleaned up yet, and besides, her mother lives there. I went there for a while and came back, and then I came back after a while. What's the matter, finally remembered me. ”

"Yes, I was too busy some time ago, so I'm not here to make amends."

"Hehehe, you have a little conscience."

"Do you have time tonight? Please eat. ”

"Yes, I don't have work now, and it's okay to be home alone."

"Oh, then I'll go to the newly opened Haidilao tonight."

"Okay."

"Come early."

"Okay."

After contacting here, Yueqing suddenly thought that Qi Yilin seemed to say that he would come to pick him up for dinner in the afternoon this morning, Yueqing didn't want to see him very much, they were really not people from the same world. Whether what he says is true or not, it's best to refuse. I was thinking about whether to leave another word to say, but this person didn't reply in the morning. But after thinking about it again, forget it, and it will be too deliberate to say it again, but it's not good, so don't talk about it.

.........................................

Before getting off work in the afternoon, Yueqing asked for a leave, left a little early, and talked to Zhang Yuan, saying that she would book a place first, and let Zhang Yuan go directly after work, and finish eating early, or it would be too late to eat and grow meat in the evening.

Because it wasn't too far, Yueqing walked all the way over, and when she was about to get to the place, the phone rang. Yueqing opened it and saw that it was not marked.

"Hey, hello."

"It's me."

As soon as the other party spoke, Yueqing heard it, Qi Yilin.

"Oh, something's wrong."

"I'm at the door of your company."

"I'm gone."

"Where? I'm going to look for you. ”

"Mr. Qi, I really don't need it, I don't have time at night."

There was a silence on the other side: "Aren't you hiding from me?" ”

"What are you doing?"

"I'll see you later." Then he hung up.

Yueqing was dazed for a while, looked at the mobile phone that had been hung up, and sighed, leaving him alone.

Because it's not rush hour, there aren't a lot of cars on the road, and there aren't a lot of people on the tree-lined sidewalks. The urban greening is very good, on the left side of the sidewalk is a neat row of trees, now it is just autumn, the leaves on the trees have not begun to turn yellow, it is the time of luxuriant leaves, under the trees a row of shrubs, sanitation workers repair them very neatly. At intervals there will be a raised flower bed, red and yellow, and on the right side of the road are symmetrical shrubs and flower beds, with some leisure seats and sorting bins scattered among them. The sun is about to set, and it is lukewarm and hot, and most of the pedestrians are elderly people of retirement age, holding dogs, listening to plays, pulling their wives, and holding their girlfriends.

Yueqing walked on the side of the road, paying attention to the buildings around her, she was a little road crazy, not that she would be disoriented, but she never remembered where the store was. Unless she goes to it often, like the restaurant she frequents near the company. Elsewhere, even if someone told her where it was, she would have to look for it as she looked, or she would probably not find it. When she goes shopping or eats with friends, she basically goes wherever others take her, and today she has to rely on herself, after all, she is the one who treats her, and there is no one else to show her the way at this time.

It didn't take long to go, and the sign of Haidilao appeared not far in front of her, and she finally found it, Yueqing felt that she had been gone for a long time, but it didn't take long. Yueqing sped up and walked there quickly, there was a sound of honking from behind, Yueqing moved to the side of the road to make way for the car behind, but she didn't expect the car to honk.

Yueqing turned her head over there to look over, she didn't plan to care about anything, she just wanted to see who was driving on the sidewalk, and kept honking her horn, so unqualified, but she only planned to take a look, and she didn't plan to count others, she generally couldn't do this kind of thing.

The sidewalk is very wide, and it is no problem to accommodate a car to drive in it, but pedestrians have to give way to the car, and there are generally no special circumstances, and there are not many cars going here, which will affect the speed of the car and delay the time.

Yueqing turned her head and saw that the car was very close to her, just behind her, the model and color were a little familiar, and after a closer look, the driver was actually Qi Yilin. Yueqing was stunned for a moment and involuntarily stopped.

"Hey." Said hello over there.

Yueqing didn't speak.

"Even though you didn't tell me where it was, I found it so quickly."

"What are you looking for me for?"

"Didn't you say that? Please eat. ”

"Didn't I say that? I'm busy, and you really don't have to thank me. It's not a big deal. ”

Qi Yilin ignored the second half of the sentence and asked directly: "What are you going to do here?" ”

Yueqing ignored him and continued to walk forward, and Qi Yilin's car followed.

"Mr. Qi, go back."

"If you don't go, I'll always follow you." Qi Yilin said as he drove.

Yueqing was a little angry, she stopped again, thinking that Haidilao was in front, why don't you go in? He simply said, "I had dinner with two friends today and submitted an appointment, so I don't have time." ”

"Then just call your two friends and I can pick them up."

"We've already made an appointment, and we don't want to change it casually."

"Oh, where?"

Yueqing was stunned for a moment, but still replied: "It's just in front." ”

Qi Yilin poked his head out of the car window and looked ahead, it was a row of eating places.

"Okay, I'll go too."

"Huh?" Yueqing thought she had misheard, these places to eat were more oriented to the general public, although Yueqing didn't know where they would go as rich people, but this kind of place should not come often.

"You don't know them, what are you doing?"

"There's no harm in making more friends."

"It's all women."

"It's okay, women can be friends. And your friend, I want to get acquainted with it too. ”

"What do you know my friend for?"

"I want to know more about you."

Yueqing is not a person who can speak, and she doesn't know how to tell him. This person can't be in love with her, he is at least 3 years older than him, probably not, a little narcissistic, Yueqing introspected in her heart.

"It's up to you." After saying that, I didn't care about him, and walked in the direction of the store by myself.

Fortunately, now is not the peak period for eating, the parking space is still easy to find, Qi Yilin parked the car and followed her before Yueqing entered the store, I didn't see how much he was in a hurry, but he still walked very fast, probably because he was very tall and had long legs, he slowed down when he walked behind Yueqing, and stretched out his slender arm unhurriedly to help her hit the store door before the clerk.

As soon as you enter the store, the smell of various foods wafts through you, and the smell of seafood is also mixed in. Yueqing doesn't like to eat seafood very much, if it weren't for Zhang Yuan wanting to come, she wouldn't have chosen to eat here. Inadvertently glanced at Qi Yilin and found that he was frowning slightly, Yueqing suddenly felt quite funny, and had an urge to laugh.

"You look like you're in a good mood."

"Huh? No, no. I'll go and book a private room. ”

Saying that, Yueqing took the lead and walked towards the service desk.

------------------------------------------ dividing line

Although it is not the peak season for eating, there are still many people in the store, Yueqing walked to the service desk, and before she could get there, two clerks walked over quickly, and there was a burst of welcome.

Yueqing smiled and said that she wanted a private room, and one of them immediately stretched out her hand to lead them there. Qi Yilin walked next to him more eye-catching, and the female clerks and customers who saw him in the store would basically look at him for a while.

Yueqing hurriedly arranged a private room under the thoughtful service of the lady at the counter, and then followed the clerk to the private room. Before leaving, I told the clerk that Zhang Yuan and Xiaoling were coming.

The environment is very good in a private room that can sit 6 people, and the waiter asked us if we would order now or wait. Yueqing said to wait for a while. The waiter asked what they needed to order first, and then reported the fruit and snacks they had here. Yueqing said that it would be a little bit easier.

The waiter left with a smile, leaving only Yueqing and Qi Yilin, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.

"You don't eat at this kind of restaurant very often, do you?" Yueqing casually opened a topic.

Qi Yilin smiled and said: "It's not often, I have eaten with my friends, and I used to eat with my classmates when I was in school." As he spoke, he washed the cup and poured the tea.

"Oh." Yueqing replied and continued: "The environment here is not bad, I heard that it is a newly opened store." ”

"Oh? Is it. Do you like to eat hot pot? ”

"No, I usually make hot pot at home, and I rarely come to hot pot restaurants."

"Looks like you're a good cook."

"Generally, hey, this time it's mainly my friend who wants to come here to eat." He laughed a little.

"Laughing at what? So happy. Qi Yilin also asked with a smile.

"I'm wondering how I'll tell them later. Well, the unexpected you. ”

"Hahaha."

Thinking of Zhang Yuan and Xiaoling, Yueqing thought of Xuehua again, she just called today, and almost forgot about it, "By the way, I have something to tell you." ”

"Hmm." Qi Yilin sat and looked at her, I don't know why Yueqing always felt that Qi Yilin's gaze was very serious, and there were indescribable feelings in it, and I didn't know where it came from. Without going into any details, Yueqing continued: "I remember that you said last time that you wanted to see your other one, well, benefactor. ”

"Of course I remember, what? Are you going to take me to her? ”

"When do you have time?"

"I've always had time."

"Don't you need to be busy? For example, at work? ”

Qi Yilin smiled, "It doesn't matter, I can turn the time away." ”

Yueqing didn't quite understand, maybe people like them were like this, she didn't ask deeply, and continued: "I just called her today, if you have time, if I'm okay on the weekend, I'm going to go and see her, it's not too far from here, if it's convenient for you, I can take you there." ”

"Yes, I'll listen to you, and I'll be on call." Qi Yilin said with a smile.

Yueqing continued: "Speaking of benefactors, in fact, what you should thank the most is her, if it weren't for her, I shouldn't have appeared, I generally don't like to meddle in things, so you don't have to say that you want to thank me all the time, after seeing her, just thank her directly." ”

Qi Yilin frowned, "If I don't just want to thank you。。。。。 Before he finished speaking, the waiter came with some food, gave them to Yueqing one by one and put them on the table, and then asked them if there was anything else they needed?

"Thanks, but not at the moment, we'll call you if we need to." Qi Yilin said with a polite smile, but there was something in his tone that even Yueqing could hear without refusal. Yueqing hurriedly looked at the waiter embarrassedly and nodded and smiled.

"That sister, you talk first, I'm outside." The waiter bowed and went out with a smile on his face.

When the waiter went out, Qi Yilin rubbed his forehead and let out a sigh.

Yueqing looked at him amusedly, and then looked at the various foods on the table.

"Do you believe in love at first sight?" Qi Yilin was quiet for a while and then said.

Yueqing didn't know what he meant? This topic is not suitable for talking about in front of the opposite sex who is not very familiar, right, won't this person be embarrassed? If it weren't for Qi Yilin's good cultivation, Yueqing would have felt that he was not a good person.

At such an old age, there is nothing that cannot be talked about on this topic, Yueqing picked up a cherry tomato and replied casually: "I don't believe it." ”

"If I said that I was very impressed when I first met you, and I never forgot you, and when I saw you again, I was deeply attracted to you, would you believe it?" Qi Yilin's expression was serious, and he looked at Yueqing seriously and said.

The cherry tomatoes that Yueqing had already brought to her mouth stopped at her mouth and did not continue to go inside. She paused for a moment, her expression didn't change very well, and she was very serious, she was really a little angry. He didn't answer, but asked, "Qi Yilin, we haven't met a few times in total." Right. ”

"Yes, but 。。。。。。" Qi Yilin replied, without waiting for her to finish, Yueqing continued: "Do you understand me? ”

"I'm understanding."

"I guess I'm four years older than you."

"Do you think I'm not mature enough?"

"No, I just don't think you're going to find a woman older than you. Are you trying to make fun of me? ”

"I don't think age is going to be a barrier between us. I'm serious. Qi Yilin hurriedly said.

Yueqing hurriedly interrupted him, "Qi Yilin, we are not one world, I don't like too complicated life, I prefer a simple and peaceful life." ”

"Trust me, life with me won't be too complicated."

"And, best of all, I already have a boyfriend." Yueqing continued.

Qi Yilin was quiet for a moment, and Yueqing felt that he should not talk about this topic anymore. Who knew that it was just quiet for a while, and the man put his hands on his chest and said, "You mean that boyfriend who has no feelings and hasn't seen each other much." ”

Yueqing looked at him with some surprise, and then said with a smile: "Who told you that we have no feelings." ”

"I'm a man who never does anything unprepared, and since I can meet you again, of course I will conduct some due investigation." Qi Yilin said with a confident smile.

Yueqing didn't know what kind of concept the investigation was, but she felt a little disrespected. "Are you intruding on a little bit of my privacy?"

"Hahahaha, if it's legally, no, but if it's upsetting you, I can apologize, but I'll do it anyway. Time is too short, and I desperately want to get to know you. ”

Yueqing calmed down for a moment, "You are too young, and besides, we are indeed not from the same world. ”

Qi Yilin frowned and said, "I'm not in a hurry for you to reply, you can get to know me slowly, but I hope you don't hide from me anymore." If you have any dissatisfaction, you can tell me directly, I don't have the impression that you are a timid person. ”

"You're wrong."

Qi Yilin smiled and didn't answer.

Yueqing's mood is a little complicated, Qi Yilin is tall and handsome, and he is rich and cultivated, this kind of person confesses to her, which makes her have a sense of substitution for Cinderella. But she is a calm person, and when she encounters this, her most subjective opinion is more inclined to Qi Yilin, who may be playing a love and betting game like a rich person on TV, and most of them will not believe it.

did a thought work for herself in her heart, and Yueqing snuffed out that little bit of complicated feelings.

Qi Yilin saw the change in her expression, he was a very smart person, and immediately guessed Yueqing's general thoughts, except for a little regret, his determination was not reduced at all.

The private room was quiet, and no one went to eat the things on the table, the cherry tomato in Yueqing's hand was put on her fingertips and turned around on the table, she also wanted to run out shyly, but she felt that the atmosphere was even more embarrassing, and complained in her heart why Zhang Yuan and Xiaoling didn't come.

People can't stand the chatter, Yueqing was thinking, Xiaoling over there had already come over under the leadership of the clerk, and she happened to look at Yueqing at the door of the private room, her expression changed exaggeratedly, and she shouted and pounced: "Ah~~~, oh my God, Yueqing, it's been a long time, hug." ”

Yueqing didn't even have time to stand up, she pounced on her half-bent legs, and was almost pressed to sit down again. Well, the atmosphere is not awkward anymore. I only heard Xiaoling continue: "You have no conscience, you haven't contacted me for so long, and I will call you and perfunctory me." "The coquettish voice is very loud.

Yueqing was a little embarrassed, Xiaoling felt that there was another person after knowing it, turned her head and looked, found Qi Yilin, fixed at that moment, and then quickly sat down, tidied up her clothes and hair, and glared at Yueqing.

Qi Yilin laughed. "Hello, my name is Qi Yilin, it's a pleasure to meet you."

"Oh oh, hello, my name is Deng Ling, you can just call me Xiaoling."

"Hello Xiaoling."

"Oh, good." Xiaoling replied honestly.

Yueqing laughed, it was quite interesting. Xiao Ling kicked her underneath.

Qi Yilin hurriedly poured water for Xiao Ling.

"Oh, thank you, thank you." Xiao Ling hurriedly took the water and took a sip. I quickly found someone and said, "Isn't there a friend who is coming?" "Didn't you say it was a woman? How did you become a man? Slandered in his heart.

Yueqing also felt that Zhang Yuan was a little slow, so she called her.

"Where is the garden? Why hasn't it come yet. ”

"Oh, okay, just say my name at the desk."

He hung up the phone and said, "It's time to get to the door." ”

Sure enough, after a while, Zhang Yuan also appeared at the door of the private room, and said as he came in, "I'm sorry, I'm late." Mainly... "It's better than Xiaoling, as soon as I came in, I found Qi Yilin, and immediately stopped: "Huh? How can there be male guests, the key is to be so high-quality. Yueqing, who is this? Your boyfriend? ”

"Hello, my name is Qi Yilin."

"Oh." Zhang Yuan walked over as he replied. sat down next to Xiaoling.

Yueqing knew at a glance that Zhang Yuan didn't know who it was, and immediately continued: "It's the legendary President Qi." ”

"Huh?" Zhang Yuan paused, "Hmph~ Ah, Mr. Qi, hello, hello." He said with his hands outstretched.

"Hello." Qi Yilin stretched out a hand to respond to her, Zhang Yuan shook it several times, and then withdrew his hand and put it on his chest with an excited expression.

Yueqing looked at her helplessly, and then introduced: "This is our colleague, Zhang Yuan." Zhang Yuan, this is my friend, Xiaoling. That's what I told you earlier. ”

"Oh, I often hear Yueqing mention you." Zhang Yuan said.

"Hello, Zhang Yuan."

"You can call me the garden like Yueqing." Zhang Yuan said, and then focused on Qi Yilin.

"Let's order." Yueqing said. The waiter had been waiting for a long time, watching them come out one by one, and he was embarrassed to interrupt, but when he heard the order, he immediately greeted him.
