shallow marriage deep love

Without any hesitation, Lucia quickly opened the email and browsed.

After 15 minutes, she closed the mailbox interface, leaned her body back, and narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly.

This Lu Qinglan is really good, as expected of someone he can appreciate.

Based on the magazines she was responsible for in the past few years, her performance in the Rhyme of Ruishang competition, and other things, Lucia felt that she was capable and qualified to be her competitor.

At this moment, she became very much looking forward to it. She really wanted to see what kind of exciting competition there would be between herself and Lu Qinglan.

Just when Lucia was thinking about whether to ask for the result now, the mobile phone that was placed aside rang without warning.

From the corner of the eye, it turned out to be Qiao Zhishan.

She hooked her lips mockingly, and when her patience was almost exhausted, Lucia picked up the phone slowly, with a lazy voice: "Hey, Zhishan, what made you think of calling me?"

Hearing the teasing in her words, Qiao Zhishan forced a smile, and pretended to be relaxed and said: "We are schoolmates and friends, why? I have to call you if I have something to do?"

"Of course not." Lucia smiled. She didn't need to ask, she knew the purpose of Qiao Zhishan's call, but since she didn't say it, she wouldn't bring it up either. Anyway, it wouldn't be her who was anxious .

After exchanging a few pleasantries, the topic still couldn't get to the point, Qiao Zhishan finally became anxious, she cleared her throat, and pretended to ask unintentionally: "By the way, Lucia, I saw what I sent you on MSN Is it?"

Is it finally here?

With her legs crossed, Lucia deliberately hung her up for a while before she said with a smile: "I see, I saw that Lu Qinglan you mentioned today, as for the magazine? I also read it."

After answering her question, Lucia stopped without saying another word.

Qiao Zhishan was taken aback, she never thought that Lucia would be so calm, according to her arrogant and domineering temper, shouldn't she be so angry that she would go to trouble Lu Qinglan?What's going on here?
After a while, she finally recovered her voice: "Lucia, I also read magazines, and I think Lu Qinglan's ability is just average, how can he compare with yours? It's just a superficiality, but listen Said that the weekly magazine is very optimistic about her now, and even intends to make her equal to you, what? You didn't get the news? Shouldn't you?"

"I really don't know." Lucia grinned, "Zhishan, thank you for telling me about it."

"No...you're welcome, we're friends, and of course I don't want to see you being kept in the dark." After much difficulty, Qiao Zhishan managed to squeeze out such a sentence.

If she just thought that Lucia spoke a little strangely today, now she is absolutely sure that this is not the usual Lucia at all!

Unexpectedly, in the next second, her guess was completely confirmed!

"Zhishan, what do you want to say, or to put it another way, what you want to do for you, you can actually just say it directly, you don't have to beat around the bush like this. It's like...every time you provoked my relationship with other people in the past."

Qiao Zhishan's face changed drastically: "Lucia, you... what are you talking about? I don't understand what you mean."

"You understand." Lucia stood up, and gracefully walked to the French window, she looked at the traffic below and said leisurely, "Don't you just want to stimulate me, and then use my hand to embarrass Lu Qinglan? It's not like you haven't done this kind of thing before? But Qiao Zhishan, do you really think I'm a fool who lets you fool me? Over the years, you haven't become smarter at all. "

The truth was exposed so nakedly that Qiao Zhishan didn't know how to cover it up.

Lucia didn't give her any chance to speak, but changed the subject and her tone became mocking: "Yes, I am arrogant, but my vision is not small. This issue of the magazine is really good, and the sales volume is good enough to prove that Lu Qing Lan's ability, I like to challenge, but I also respect others. I am not stupid, and I will not be used by you for unknown reasons. Oh, yes, even if you say that she wants to be equal to me, it doesn't matter, excellent As long as a talent is capable, why can't she get what she deserves? No matter how low my EQ is, I won't be jealous of such things, right?"

After a pause, she said again: "I don't know what's going on between you and Lu Qinglan, but well, I'm sorry, I really appreciate the people you don't like, let your plan come to nothing I'm really sorry to be disappointed. Qiao Zhishan, I won't be fooled by you again, you, just do it yourself!"

After hearing the words, Qiao Zhishan was completely stunned, her lips parted slightly, but she couldn't say a word.

What can she say?
The final plan was easily seen through, and she could no longer make Lu Qinglan unhappy.

She is not reconciled... But, what can I do?
There is nothing she can do!
Feeling her silence, Lucia smiled, and said the last sentence very easily: "Oh, yes, I heard that you were fired by Ruishan? Congratulations, I believe there will be a lot of magazines throwing at you. An olive branch. So, that’s it? I’m still busy, so I don’t really want to waste time with you.”

"Beep beep beep!" came the busy voice, and Qiao Zhishan, who came back to her senses, was so angry that she wanted to throw the phone away!
Turning around, I saw the person beside Qin Xin saying to himself expressionlessly: "Miss Qiao, Young Master Qin please leave, please board the plane."

Lucia threw the phone on the sofa in a good mood, took a sip of coffee, stood up with a smile on her face and walked outside.

It's time to ask that Lu Qinglan for an answer.

As soon as Lucia's figure disappeared at the door of the office, the people under her quickly gathered together, chattering.

"Am I not mistaken? Lucia was smiling just now?"

"You read that right, and she didn't lose her temper today!"

"why?"

"I don't know! By the way, she challenged that Lu Qinglan, who do you think will win?"

"Old rules! Bet!"

"it is good!"

When Lucia appeared in Lu Qinglan's office again, Lan Tian was the first to rush up: "What are you doing here again?"

Although Lu Qinglan told them that Lucia shouldn't have any malicious intentions, but no matter how you look at her expression, she doesn't look like that, and Lu Qinglan can't be bullied again.

Arms crossed her chest, Lucia ignored the blue sky, bent her head and shouted at Lu Qinglan's position: "Lu Qinglan, go have a cup of coffee, I want to know your answer, how about it? Don't you dare? Bar?"

With a smile on the corner of her mouth, Lu Qinglan replied lightly: "It's just coffee, why not dare?"

Lucia glanced at her, yes, this temper is to my liking.If Lu Qinglan was that kind of cowardly, she would really feel that she had misjudged the person.

"Lu Qinglan, are you really going?" Lan Tian asked her in a low voice, "Be careful, call me and Shi Xiaorui if you need anything, and come right here!"

Lu Qinglan was amused by his nervous look, but she still nodded: "Don't worry, it's not as serious as you think."

Fifteen minutes later, the two sat by the window of the coffee shop.

"What do you want to drink?" Lucia raised her eyebrows and threw the menu to her directly, "You're welcome, I'm treating you."

Lu Qinglan smiled and shook her head: "Thank you, but a glass of plain water is fine, I don't drink coffee now."

She stopped drinking coffee when she was about to have a baby.

"Oh, whatever." Lucia shrugged, and ordered a mocha for herself.

Leaning back, she lifted her chin slightly, and her tone was always arrogant: "Have you thought about it? Agree or not? But, let me remind you first, whether you agree or not, you have accepted this challenge." !"

"Really?" Lu Qinglan looked relaxed, as if not surprised at all, "You already said that? Why should I not accept it?"

"Are you confident?" Lucia was very satisfied that she figured it out so quickly, but seeing that her whole body seemed to be shrouded in confidence, she couldn't help asking.

Lu Qinglan smiled: "Isn't it disrespect for you and yourself if you are not confident?"

What she said was frank, without flattery at all, and she looked... very comfortable.

Lucia thought so.

Pursing her lips, she nodded: "Yes, I didn't admire you for nothing."

"appreciate?"

"What? Are you surprised? Or do you feel that you have insulted the word? In fact, it doesn't deserve it?"

"Pfft!"

Lu Qinglan swore that she didn't laugh on purpose.She finally found out that although Lucia's tongue was a bit harsh and she seemed a little arrogant, but she was very straightforward, and she belonged to someone who said something and would not hide it in her heart.

Stop laughing, she replied: "Actually, I was surprised that you would say it. After all, in the morning, our meeting didn't seem to be very pleasant."

Lucia spread her hands: "I am like this, who made you like me. However, if you lose to me, I think I will consider whether to appreciate you. I, Lucia, don't like the lack of strength people."

Unknowingly, the conversation between the two became extremely relaxed, not like real competitors at all.

Lu Qinglan asked with a smile in her eyes: "Then, do I need to say I'm honored?"

"Yes, if you must."

In fact, it wasn't just Lu Qinglan, Lucia also found that she was able to chat so well with someone who was originally a competitor, which was really beyond her expectations, and it had never been like this for so many years.

Could it be... Lu Qinglan's temperament made her relax?
Shaking her head slightly, Lucia didn't think any more, took out something from her bag and threw it in front of her, and returned to the provocative state at the beginning: "This is what we are comparing. Of course, if you read Then you get scared and you can quit."

Lu Qinglan bent the corner of her mouth, met her gaze, and took the share.
