shallow marriage deep love

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

"It's me, Xiang Beiyang."

"Mr. Xiang?" She frowned in surprise, but she didn't expect Mr. Xiang to call herself.

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

"I..." Lu Qinglan didn't know how to answer in embarrassment. To be honest, if it wasn't for this phone call, she would have almost forgotten about this matter. So many things happened when she went back to City B, how could she care? Thinking about this?

Originally, I thought that this would definitely annoy the old Mr. Xiang again, after all, it was tantamount to saving his face.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Xiang's tone was still calm: "How about this, let's have dinner together, and we will talk about it." After a pause, afraid that she would not agree, he said, "Qin Xin will also be together, just like our grandparents and grandchildren." I invite you to dinner."

After finishing speaking, he hung up the phone, not giving Lu Qinglan a chance to speak at all.

"What's wrong?" Ye Ting asked deeply worried as he wrapped her in his arms from behind, "What's the matter?"

"It doesn't count," Lu Qinglan sighed, playing with his slender fingers, "If the old man invites us to dinner, Qin Xin will also be there, probably because of Ruishang's business."

Ye Ting pondered for a moment, a little confused about what the old man was thinking.

"Let's go, I can't deny people face over and over again." After thinking about it, Lu Qinglan still decided to go.

Ye Tingshen didn't say anything, but just squeezed her hand, expressing that no matter what decision she made, he would support her.

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

"Fourth brother, younger siblings." Qin Xin stood up and greeted him with a serious look, without any chatter when they first met.

Lu Qinglan was a little strange and uncomfortable at first, but after seeing the old Mr. Xiang sitting there with no expression on his face, she understood a little bit.

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

After a long time, he still broke the embarrassing atmosphere to the old gentleman.

"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 that little Lu, and when she looked up, she saw Mr. Xiang looking at her sincerely, but at this moment she couldn't say what she originally wanted to say, and it was stuck in her throat.

As if knowing her embarrassment, she smiled kindly at the old man, like an ordinary old man: "You just think of me as Qin Xin's grandfather, an ordinary elder, and chat casually."

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

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 made it very clear that day, entering Ruishang, the decision can make your ability to a higher level, become more excellent, why not consider it? ?”

"Old Mr. Xiang," pursing her lips, Lu Qinglan met his gaze, thinking in her heart, if she didn't explain it clearly today, she might not easily reveal it, "What you said is correct, I also admit it, Whether it is Ruishang or Ruishang's rhyme, it has always been my dream, but..."

However, before he could say anything later, he was interrupted by Mr. Xiang.

"Xiao Lu, let's not say but." He waved his hand, his eyes flickered with happiness, and finally, he suddenly picked up his teacup and stood up, "Before you say but, I have to say sorry to you. "

In this way, not to mention Lu Qinglan, even Ye Tingshen was surprised. The aggressiveness at that time seemed to be still in front of his eyes, but now he threw down his face and apologized to a junior, wouldn't he be surprised?
Only Qin Xin is still calm. He knows that once his grandfather wants to poach someone, he has never been unable to do so.

Before Lu Qinglan could react, Mr. Xiang went on to say: "On the day of the Ruishangzhiyun award, I'm sorry for my bad attitude towards you. If you didn't save me in time in the hospital that time, I'm afraid it would be very dangerous , but I actually questioned your plagiarism. Thinking about it later, I am really ashamed. Including the day you won, I never thought that someone would reject Ruishang Zhiyun, so there was also a problem with the way I spoke that day, Xiao Lu, terribly sorry."

"Mr. Xiang..." Lu Qinglan hurriedly stood up and said sincerely, "You don't need to do this."

"Hey," Mr. Xiang waved his hand with a smile, and said in a joking tone, "Could it be that Xiao Lu refuses to accept my apology? For Qin Xin's sake, please forgive me, an old man, okay? , I will replace wine with tea!"

After being robbed like this, Lu Qinglan couldn't say anything more, she couldn't be so stingy and take the old man's face off, right?
Shrugging slightly, she picked up her teacup and said with a smile, "Okay, please, old man."

Seeing her drink a cup of tea, the old man was very happy, and chased after the victory: "Little Lu, can you think about it again now? I know that you refused to join Ruishang, and there was also the reason why I suspected you before." , isn’t it? Speaking of this, I just hope you can think about it.”

Hearing this, Lu Qinglan was silent, not knowing what to say for a while.

It is true that Mr. Xiang was right. She was suspected at that time, and then there were various reports. She actually cared about it in her heart, especially when Ye Tingshen was involved. She subconsciously felt a little disgusted. Naturally Ruishan was excluded.

She later gave up the trophy and never regretted it.

But now, the old Mr. Xiang's words twice pushed himself into an awkward position. If he didn't agree, others would think that he didn't know what was good, but if he agreed, others might say that she was hypocritical.

Lu Qinglan, who 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 spread to his heart instantly.

Turning her head, seeing his encouraging eyes, Lu Qinglan suddenly felt that she had an answer in her heart.

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

At this moment, the door of the box was opened, and the two people who entered interrupted what she was about to say.

"Teacher," Ling Wei was the first to come in. The well-dressed OL made her gentle and capable, "I'm sorry to be a little late, I just finished the interview."

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

Seeing the two of them coming, Mr. Xiang became happy again, and said cheerfully to Lu Qinglan: "Xiao Lu, actually, I invite you to dinner today. Apart from what I just said, there is one more thing I want to tell you. The interview done for Wang Qin, the other party is very satisfied, and because of your interview, the sales of this issue of the magazine are very good, it can be said that it was the first shot."

Mentioning the gratifying results, Mr. Xiang couldn't help but become more determined to poach Lu Qinglan.

Thinking of this, he continued: "So thank you, Xiao Lu. Ling Wei and Zhishan will also offer you a toast. In addition to thanking you, it is also an apology."

Lu Qinglan wasn't proud of the magazine's sales. After all, she was just doing a favor, and she wasn't as exaggerated as she said to the old man. What surprised her was his last sentence.

However, before she could think about it, Ling Wei had already poured a cup of tea, held it in the air, and said with a light smile, "Lu Qinglan, thank you for doing the interview for me, and not allowing this issue of the magazine to open up. Also, Regarding what happened on the day of the Ruishang Zhiyun award ceremony, on behalf of Ruishang, I would like to apologize to you, and hope that we can forget about these unpleasant experiences, and realize our dreams and values ​​together in Ruishang.”

After finishing speaking, she drank it down without waiting for Lu Qinglan's reaction, then looked at Qiao Zhishan and motioned for her to speak.

However, Qiao Zhishan frowned obviously, and the corner of her mouth curled up with a disdainful arc: "I have nothing to say! Ms. Lu has no definite evidence to prove that she didn't plagiarize!"

Lu Qinglan wasn't surprised by her appearance, but at the same time, she wouldn't take her words at ease.Ye Tingshen's expression changed, he looked at Qiao Zhishan and began to think.

Mr. Xiang felt a little uneasy on his face, and roared in a low voice: "Zhishan! What nonsense!"

Seeing this, Ling Wei tugged at her sleeves, winking at her where no one else could see.

After a while, Qiao Zhishan picked up the teacup, took a few deep breaths, and reluctantly said bluntly: "Miss Lu, I'm sorry, I didn't investigate clearly and suspected you. I'm sorry for the damage to your reputation. .”

As cold as Qiao Zhishan, it was already rare to be able to say such things to someone who could be said to be a newcomer.

One after the other, the three apologized and thanked, if Lu Qinglan didn't understand their intentions, she would be really stupid.

This is really a decision I have to make today.

He sighed secretly in his heart, but he still had to smile on his face. After drinking a cup of tea, everyone who was standing sat down.

Looking at Qin Xin, who didn't say much, and Ye Tingshen, who was always silent like an outsider, Lu Qinglan thought about what to say next. In today's situation, she can only make the decision. Not good at speaking.

"Little Lu, how do you think about it?" Mr. Xiang always knows what kind of poaching method is the best. For Lu Qinglan, he can't delay, and must succeed on the spot. "For the sake of the four of us, join us Ruishan."

When he spoke, Qin Xin was dragged down again. Apart from being helpless, Qin Xin really didn't know what to do.

"Mr. Xiang, don't say that." Lu Qinglan said, with a proper smile on her lips, "I'm glad to join Ruishang."

After all, in this case, she couldn't help but refuse.In fact, she really didn't know whether such a decision was good or bad.

In a word, the matter was finally settled, Mr. Xiang was very happy, and hurriedly greeted him to order more food, but only he knew what kind of thoughts each of them had.

The meal ended in such an atmosphere. 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: "Wait, Ye Tingshen!"
