before and after dinner gl
Chapter 46
Seeing Xiao Jingrui's disapproving look, Xiaowen clicked his tongue, approached her and lowered his voice, "Didn't you say that President Zhai and Vice President Yi have reconciled? Yesterday, President Zhai came back, and I saw her sitting in the car secretly talking to her." Laughing on the phone."
"What do you mean?" Xiao Jingrui admired these people more and more, they could discover even the slightest sign of trouble, and then exaggerated it.
Yesterday, Mr. Zhai snickered at his phone.Yesterday, I also sent a text message to Mr. Zhai, but she didn't let me pick her up... Yesterday, I met Mr. Zhai in the elevator. She and Mr. Yi seemed in a bad mood, and she was very indifferent to herself ...
So is her smile because of herself or someone else?
Xiao Jingrui remembered the last text message Zhai Qin sent to him.
"fool".
There were only two words, and she read them over and over again last night while holding her phone under the covers.
"What do you think it can explain?" Xiaowen interrupted Xiao Jingrui's train of thought, and said firmly: "Only women in love can do this."
Xiao Jingrui didn't answer, Xiaowen continued: "You may not know it yet, the division of labor between President Zhai and Vice President Yi has always been clear, she never intervened in matters such as web games before, and Vice President Yi is also responsible for meeting customers. It’s always a matter of one person, but why did you go with Vice President Yi this time? Did you go more than once? When you come back, you’re in such a good mood that you can laugh out loud in the car!”
"Maybe I'm in a good mood because the project has been negotiated."
"I've been with President Zhai for so long, and she has negotiated countless projects. No matter how happy she is, she is never like this time." Xiaowen couldn't help but give Xiao Jingrui a blank look, "What an obvious thing! You see , Now Vice President Yi's project has problems, and President Zhai didn't go back all night, helping Vice President Yi turn the tide, this is true love."
"The company is not owned by Vice President Yi alone. It is normal for President Zhai to come forward to solve problems."
"I told you, Mr. Zhai didn't care about page games before. The page tour group was established by Vice President Yi. Now that Mr. Zhai has intervened, it's not normal." Xiaowen felt that Xiao Jingrui was a child It's really unteachable, like a log that doesn't understand how to say it.
"The coffee is getting cold, I'll bring it to Mr. Zhai first."
Xiao Jingrui left Xiaowen behind, but unconsciously began to think about what she said.Before she knew it, she had arrived at the door of Zhai Qin's office. She hesitated for a moment and knocked on the door three times.
"Come in."
Xiao Jingrui turned the doorknob, "Mr. Zhai," she called, "coffee."
Zhai Qin didn't say anything, just looked at her with one hand supporting his head, because of staying up late, bloodshot eyes could be faintly seen.
When Xiao Jingrui saw her like this, he was so distressed that he forgot everything for a moment.She took two steps forward to put the coffee on the table, saw the unopened milk and bread, and asked, "Why didn't you eat it?" She picked up the milk and was going to help Zhai Qin insert the straw, but found that the milk was already cold "I'll go warm you up again."
"No need, I don't have an appetite, I just want to drink some coffee." Zhai Qin stopped her.
"Eat some bread, don't just focus on work, you have to rest when it's time to rest." Xiao Jingrui returned to the table and unwrapped the bread and handed it to her.
Zhai Qin didn't look at the things handed over, but stared into Xiao Jingrui's eyes, "What did you call me just now?"
"What do you call you?" Xiao Jingrui was stunned, and then realized, "Oh, Qinqin, come and eat the bread."
Zhai Qin took a bite of the bread, the phone rang, she put down the bread to answer the phone.Xiao Jingrui has been standing by the side waiting for her to finish the call.
"Go ahead, I have to deal with some things." Zhai Qin said to her.
Xiao Jingrui felt a little lost, and after a muffled "um", he turned around and was about to leave, stopped at the door, turned back and said to Zhai Qin, "Do you have time tonight, let's have dinner together."
Zhai Qin could see Xiao Jingrui's emotions, but she was really out of control, so she could only give her an apologetic smile, "Another day."
"Well... what about tomorrow?"
Zhai Qin thought for a while and agreed, "Then tomorrow."
I don't know if I started to care about it, or if things got worse and worse. In the past two days, Xiao Jingrui has heard colleagues talking about Mr. Zhai and Vice President Yi more than once. All she can do is block all gossip and It was rumored that she planned to ask Zhai Qin in person at dinner.It's not that she doesn't trust Di Qin, but she always feels that there is always something missing between her and Di Qin.
Xiao Jingrui has never been confident in interpersonal communication, whether it is making friends or dating, so even though all her instincts are telling herself that Zhai Qin and Yi Shuming will have nothing more, her heart is still not at ease. Unless you hear the other party say it in person.
Xiao Jingrui began to lose her mind while listening to the Baijia forum in the earphones. After recovering, she made a decision.If the other party's answer is the same as what I hope, if she can make me feel at ease, then I should take the initiative, at least I should take the initiative to clarify certain things.
The dinner appointment was at the open-air restaurant that she and Zhai Qin had been to. Xiao Jingrui liked this restaurant quite a bit, but because of the cold weather, she reserved a seat indoors.Zhai Qin was not at the company in the afternoon, so she asked Xiao Jingrui to go first, and she would arrive later.
Xiao Jingrui stood on the terrace and smoked a cigarette. She originally wanted to stand here and wait for Zhai Qin to come, to see if she could see Zhai Qin's car coming from the opposite street, but the temperature was too low, she Unable to bear it any longer, he wrapped himself in his coat and retreated into the room.
"Have you been waiting for a long time?" Zhai Qin finally came. Although he looked a little more energetic than yesterday, his face was still full of exhaustion, and his eyes were even more bloodshot.
Xiao Jingrui shook his head and smiled at her gently.
"Have you ordered anything to eat?"
"No, I want to wait for you to come and order again."
The steaks in this restaurant are delicious, the meat quality of the beef is good, and the chef's craftsmanship is also great. Xiao Jingrui found out the last time he came here, even if he ordered it to be well-done, he would not feel old.When Xiao Jingrui eats beef outside, she never eats undercooked beef, and even bloodshot beef. No matter how high-end the restaurant is, as long as the waiter asks "How mature" is, she will remain firm. Say the word "fully cooked".
Today's steak was as delicious as last time, but Xiao Jingrui's mind was not on it. She absent-mindedly cut the steak into small pieces, secretly glancing at the person opposite from time to time.
"Qinqin." Xiao Jingrui finally put the fork gently on the side of the plate, and the stainless steel knife in her right hand was almost fogged by her.
"Huh?" Zhai Qin looked up at her with a smile on his lips.
Xiao Jingrui also smiled with her: "Are you going back to the company soon?"
Zhai Qin nodded and asked, "Do you have other arrangements?"
"No, I'll just ask casually, how is that matter handled? It's a headache."
"It's been negotiated. As long as we can recreate a set of UI within a week, there will be basically no major problems."
"That's good." Xiao Jingrui hesitated, not knowing where to start what he wanted to say next.
Looking at the other person's face, she always smiled so gently when she was with him, so those rumors are really just rumors, Xiao Jingrui thought, why don't you ask, there is no need for obvious things Don't take it out and ask.But she has already made a deal with herself, as long as she hears the other person tell herself that she will never have anything to do with that person again, she will tell all the words hidden in her heart and all her feelings towards her.
Xiao Jingrui took a breath and said, "I heard from people in the company...you and Vice President Yi are reconciled?"
Zhai Qin couldn't help being surprised when he heard Xiao Jingrui's question. When he came back this time, he was entangled in the page game before he even had time to step into the company. There were such rumors.
"Who said that?"
Zhai Qin didn't answer immediately. She carefully observed every change in Xiao Jingrui's expression. No matter what angle you looked at, the guy opposite was full of jealousy and grievance that he tried his best to cover up but failed.Zhai Qin wanted to tease Xiao Jingrui early in the morning, and she had endured it for two days, and now seeing her little appearance of wanting to talk but not talking, it was impossible not to tease her.
"Just listening to... what everyone said."
Zhai Qin's smile became more and more evil: "Not bad, you have started to listen to everyone now."
"So, is it true or not?" Xiao Jingrui's voice softened with an imperceptible gradient. She couldn't understand Zhai Qin's expression, but felt that the other party seemed to know everything, and she was just trying to figure it out. A little playful pet that doesn't follow the owner's intentions.
"Do you think it's real or fake?" Zhai Qin leaned forward slightly, resting his chin with one hand, his whole body was enveloped in an unfathomable temptation.
"I..." Xiao Jingrui's heart skipped a beat, and she flinched for a moment, but it was only for a moment, and then she began to quickly think about how to answer.She wanted to say "false", but if she said it was false, the other party would probably say, since you know it is false, why ask?If it is "true", wouldn't it be obvious that she doesn't trust it... Just when she was hesitating, Zhai Qin's cell phone rang from the bag next to her.
"I'll go take a call."
It took nearly half an hour for Zhai Qin to go, and the dishes on the table were cold.Xiao Jingrui had already taken advantage of this time to think about how to answer.It's boring to go around in circles, so I just directly tell the other party that there are some things I just want to hear from her.Well, this should be the most appropriate way, and it will be easier to elicit what I want to say later.
Xiao Jingrui guarded the prepared lines and finally waited for the person to come back, but Zhai Qin said to leave first.
"Here, pay the bill." Zhai Qin opened the bag while beckoning to the waiter.
"You go first, I will tie the knot."
Zhai Qin's lips parted slightly, wanting to say something to Xiao Jingrui, but felt that neither an apology nor an explanation seemed too weak at this time, so he just stood up and left a sentence of "I'll call you later" and left in a hurry.
Oh, big boss, I'm so busy...
Xiao Jingrui couldn't think of what else to do other than laugh at himself.If there is a trash can in front of her now, if she is ready to say what she wants to say to Zhai Qin, she can take it out and throw it away like trash, she will definitely stuff those words into the trash can without hesitation, and then slam it on cover.
In the end, she couldn't help but want to watch Di Qin go out of the store, but when she raised her head, there was no sign of Di Qin in the restaurant.
After paying the bill, Xiao Jingrui didn't want to leave, and she didn't have any appetite, so she sat on the sofa in the restaurant for a while, looking at the table full of dishes that had hardly been touched, and felt that it would be a pity not to eat them.Sighing, he picked up the stainless steel fork next to the plate again.
The meat was basically cold, and the soup had already started to solidify. Naturally, the taste would not be very good, but Xiao Jingrui didn't have the heart to ask for anything more.She forked the steaks she had just cut into her mouth one by one, until there was only a layer of salty soup left on the plate, and the feeling of fullness in her stomach gradually dominated her brain nerves.
Go back to sleep.
Take a hot shower first.
......
After lying on the bed, Xiao Jingrui read the book for a while, but found that he couldn't read it, so he started to be in a daze.Zhai Qin said that he would call her.
Xiao Jingrui didn't know when she fell asleep, it was very late anyway, because she opened her eyes with difficulty after a long time after the alarm clock rang the next morning.
The first thing I do after waking up is to check my phone to see if there are any missed calls or unread messages, but there are none.Just as I put the phone back on the bedside table, it rang suddenly.Because she was afraid of missing Zhai Qin's call, she turned on the ringer last night.
Xiao Jingrui, who was still sleepy, was startled by the sudden ringtone, and crawled and jumped on the bed to get the phone. When he picked it up, he was immediately discouraged, fell back heavily on the pillow, and asked the phone weakly. : "What's the matter, handsome guy."
"Hey! Merry Christmas~ old girl!" Jing Mingshuai on the other end of the phone was the exact opposite of her, as if he had been beaten to death.
"It's Christmas today?"
"Yes, do you want to go to work together? I'll drive out the car and wait for you later."
"Okay." Xiao Jingrui didn't listen to what Jing Mingshuai was still saying, and hung up the phone after a few words, and before she knew it, she was already standing in front of the closet.
Opening the closet, all gray shirts were neatly hung in a row, with a plain skirt hanging at the front.Xiao Jingrui stared at the skirt for a while, and finally reached out to grab the nearest shirt in front of her.
Xiao Jingrui prepared food for the acne, took a bath for Mid-Autumn Festival, checked the time, it was getting late, I didn’t have time to have breakfast at home, so I had to go out first, and when I arrived at the company, it was convenient to be downstairs with Jing Mingshuai Shop bought soy milk and buns.
Pressing the power button, Xiao Jingrui slumped in the chair with little strength, grabbed the bun and took two bites, feeling the greasy taste was disgusting, raised his hand lazily, and the bun was thrown into the trash can.
Lying on the table feeling lazy and erratic, she took out her phone and took a look. There were no missed calls or unread text messages. She switched to silent mode again, searched for a cartoon, and planned to watch the cartoon for a while before starting to do things.
"Early in the morning, you are not afraid of being arrested."
A faint voice came from behind, and Xiao Jingrui heard it vaguely with earphones. She froze for a moment, and didn't want to turn off the playback screen to make a needless cover-up. She turned her head slowly to look at the person behind her, and found that it was It was Jing Mingshuai, who took off the earphones and tapped the space bar with his right hand.
"Sister, are you okay?" Jing Mingshuai's expression became worried.
"What's wrong with me?" Being asked this for no reason, Xiao Jingrui was a little confused.
"Don't pretend to be in front of my brother. I felt that something was wrong with you from the morning. We grew up together, and my brother could tell at a glance that there was something in your heart. I just heard about what happened last night... .”
"What happened last night?" Xiao Jingrui immediately interrupted Jing Mingshuai. Could it be that yesterday I asked Mr. Zhai to confess my love to him but didn't succeed?No, it's impossible...
Jing Mingshuai let out a "hey" and looked at Xiao Jingrui with sideways eyes, wondering whether this guy really didn't know or pretended not to know, "Last night, President Zhai and Vice President Yi were in the office...they closed The door stayed inside for a long time, and no one knew what they were doing."
Xiao Jingrui turned back and closed the animation window, opened the working drawing, and said nonchalantly to the computer: "What does this have to do with me?"
"Whether you are related or not, I will just talk to you casually. It would be better if it is not related, so that you will not come to me crying when you are injured and sad," Jing Mingshuai said angrily, "By the way, Later, I heard from Xiaowen that they had a quarrel, and it was Zhai’s secretary.” Jing Mingshuai was afraid that Xiao Jingrui would not know who Xiaowen was, “She went in once on the way, just in time to hear them talk about Qi Yiping and Jiang Xuemei’s Name. Qi Yiping is the little lover of Vice President Yi whom we met in the mall that day. Do you know why Qi Yiping and Jiang Xuemei have been at odds with each other? Because Jiang Xuemei has been with Vice President Yi before this, and Vice President Yi has Naturally, she is not happy about having a new love."
"Wait, isn't Jiang Xuemei married?" Xiao Jingrui had clearly heard Jiang Xuemei complaining about her children and her parents-in-law before, so why is she falling in love with Yi Shuming again now.
"If you're married, you can't have extramarital affairs?" Jing Mingshuai felt for the first time that his sister was so innocent and a little stupid, "Anyway, you can decide for yourself. There was a lot of quarreling," Jing Mingshuai couldn't help but snort at this point, "They are not afraid of outsiders watching jokes at all."
"Other people's affairs..." Xiao Jingrui finished speaking halfway, and didn't continue talking irritably.
She couldn't understand Zhai Qin more and more, or it could be said that she had never understood Zhai Qin.She could feel that she also had feelings for herself, and her intuition told her that what happened last night was not as rumored, Zhai Qin and Yi Shuming's quarrel was definitely not just because of Yi Shuming's lover.But even so, why can't she pay attention to some things, even if it's just to take care of her emotions a little bit.
Not even an explanation afterwards...
So what was he in her eyes?Xiao Jingrui's heart was filled with boredom, she had never felt so wronged before.It might be better to smoke a cigarette at this time, but she just doesn't want to smoke, so let's go for a walk.
Zhai Qin woke up on the sofa in the office, and looked at the time. It was ten o'clock in the morning, and he had slept for almost three hours.I suddenly received a phone call from the investor yesterday, and the other party said that they would withdraw all investment in the project.Zhai Qin was very surprised at the time. Although UI plagiarism is indeed a very serious matter, she has already coordinated with the other party on these issues at the first time, and the other party also promised that as long as the UI problem is resolved within a week, they will not pursue it. But what happened to this sudden withdrawal of capital?
After further understanding, she found out that the investor had put forward a condition with the project team before, asking to replace the main artist of the project and the person who first proposed the plagiarism.But Yi Shuming did not replace these two people.
Qi Yiping must be fired, and Zhai Qin, in spite of Yi Shuming's strong opposition, directly issued a notice of dismissal as the company's boss, and then assured the investor with "it is not a wise decision to replace the main artist halfway through the project". With Jiang Xuemei, the matter has calmed down for the time being.
Zhai Qin was going to ask Xiao Wen to make a cup of coffee, but then remembered that he promised Xiao Jingrui yesterday that he would call her.She took out her mobile phone and was about to call. When she saw the date displayed on the mobile phone, it was already a day late, so she should explain it to her face to face.
Before leaving the office, Zhai Qin habitually walked to the computer, woke up the sleeping monitor, and found a message flashing in the lower right corner.Clicking on the message, it was the personnel department who was confirming with her about the Christmas party.
Is it Christmas today?A faint smile appeared on Zhai Qin's tired face.
She went to the page tour group and found that there was no one in Xiao Jingrui's seat. She guessed that the guy must have gone to smoke again. Unexpectedly, on the way to the corridor, she ran into Xiao Jingrui who was coming back.
Xiao Jingrui saw Zhai Qin from a distance, and his heart felt like a ball that fell on the concrete floor, bounced up, and fell back quickly.She gently exhaled the breath that was stuffed in her chest as if laughing at herself, and continued to walk forward without changing her expression. When she approached, she greeted lightly, "Mr. Zhai."
In fact, she was very confused, she didn't know what attitude she should take towards Zhai Qin now.It is impossible to have a good attitude. After all, I am still aggrieved, and there are still many things I don't want to understand.It's not right to have a bad attitude, she has no position to do that now, she is not even sure in her heart that she is anything.That can only be neither salty nor light.
Zhai Qin was taken aback by her indifference and stopped her.Xiao Jingrui stopped there, turned his head to look at Zhai Qin, his eyes were like the sunshine of the past few days, he could clearly see the light, but he couldn't feel the temperature at all.
Zhai Qin knew that she was quarreling with him, and blamed himself for breaking his promise yesterday and not calling her, explaining: "Last night, there were a lot of things to deal with, so..."
"It's okay, I went to bed early yesterday." Xiao Jingrui interrupted her without any fluctuations in her voice.
Zhai Qin looked at the person in front of him. Ever since he became acquainted with Xiao Jingrui, he hadn't seen this expressionless and serious face for a long time, but he saw it again today.Looking down, she saw the other party's thick down jacket and the dark gray shirt inside, and her anticipation sank, "Didn't you agree to wear a skirt today?"
"Oh, I forgot."
"Really." The other party's expression and tone did not seem to have been forgotten at all. Zhai Qin sighed, turned and left.
Xiao Jingrui looked at the back of the other party walking away without nostalgia, and suddenly felt her nose sour, and her heart became even more blocked.So emotionally, I was always too young to fall into it so easily?
Zhai Qin knew that he was wrong first, but how could Xiao Jingrui be so indifferent, this is too exaggerated, isn't it just a phone call.She obviously still remembered about the skirt, did she not wear it on purpose, was it to anger herself or did she not care at all?
There was a tendon in Zhai Qin's head that was being pulled and hurt. She rubbed her temples. In the three days since she came back, she had slept less than five hours in total. She was too tired and had no strength to think anymore. What happened to Xiao Jingrui.It stands to reason that Yi Shuming should be fully responsible for the page game team, but this project was bridged by a friend of his, from getting the IP to the recommendation of the investor, so every step of the project must be done. Have your own involvement.
In the past two days, she not only had to talk to investors, lawyers, and various people, but also took care of the company's internal affairs, and explained to her friend... In short, she was so busy that she had no time to spare.Fortunately, the plagiarism incident was finally subdued. After lunch, Zhai Qin took a rare nap.
No one in the company worked overtime today, and everyone was looking forward to the lucky draw for the Christmas party. They dropped what they were doing early in the morning and arrived at the hotel where the party would be held in groups of three or five.I heard that the first prize is a 20-class medium-sized car, the second prize is ten days of paid vacation plus 5 yuan in travel funds, and the third prize does not sound so attractive, but the price is still in place: worth 3 yuan Professional semi-automatic double-head coffee machine.
"Hey, look, that's a massage chair, haven't you always wanted to buy one!" Jing Mingshuai excitedly nudged Xiao Jingrui with his elbow.
"Fourth prize, I don't believe I have that luck." Xiao Jingrui was not as excited as Jing Mingshuai.
"Have some confidence in yourself. No matter how bad it is, the fifth prize laptop is not bad. It's still from Apple. I don't know what model it is."
"I would rather have the ipadpro with the sixth prize."
"ipadpro, it's really good for you to get it. It's useless for me to get it. I'll give it to you when I get it." Jing Mingshuai looked as if he would definitely draw the sixth prize tonight.
"Actually, the air purifier is also quite useful."
"I like that earphone, the market price is several thousand more."
"The sweeping robot is not bad either. When you take it back, it just cleans up the pox hair." Xiao Jingrui glanced at the piles of prizes on the podium, and began to think about what he should get. "I really can't get a massage chair." It would also be nice to have a fully automatic massage and foot washing machine.”
"Okay, I'll give it to you if I get the footwashing machine. Well, I want those handsome soldier dolls over there."
"Soldier? Okay, I'll try to see if I can get it for you. Hey, do you see that over there is an oven? I just want to change to a bigger oven." Xiao Jingrui suddenly felt that most of these prizes seemed to be for him. They are all very useful, and I silently give a thumbs up to the logistics of the company responsible for purchasing and organizing and planning the sweepstakes.
Still talking with Jing Mingshuai about what to smoke later, the host began to speak on stage.Xiao Jingrui and Jing Mingshuai didn't bother to listen, and continued to discuss enthusiastically what to draw later, until the series of performances were over, and the lottery session kicked off amid long-awaited calls.
As the boss of the company, Zhai Qin naturally became the first person to draw a lottery, and stepped onto the lottery platform under the eyes of everyone.
The host spared no effort to instigate the atmosphere of the audience. The moment Zhai Qin drew out the number plate, she screamed excitedly: "Wow! The third prize! As expected of Mr. Zhai! I got the third prize right away!! "
Zhai Qin kept smiling all the time, but felt a little helpless towards the company's administration. These guys are really good at flattering.But that's to be expected.
Before Zhai Qin asked Xiao Jingrui which prizes should be set up in the Christmas lucky draw. He wanted to see if Xiao Jingrui had anything she wanted, so that she could be happy if she got it. More or less can also be a little excited.Unexpectedly, that guy Xiao Jingrui was so unscrupulous and refused to tell, so she had to change some of the prize settings according to what she knew about her.
But the administration group got it wrong, thinking that they wanted to draw these prizes, and the first and second prizes were too obvious, so they let themselves draw a third prize.
Zhai Qin delivered a simple speech, and finally said jokingly: "In fact, I want this bear doll more than the coffee machine. If anyone gets it, I would like to exchange the coffee machine with him."
"Hey, sister, why don't you just take a bear doll and go back with Mr. Zhai for a coffee machine. That's a coffee machine that's tens of thousands of dollars bigger, and it's much more advanced than your old hand grinder." Jing Mingshuai Quickly give Xiao Jingrui an idea.
"I just like to grind it by hand." Xiao Jingrui didn't think so at all. After thinking about it, he nodded and said, "But we can exchange the third prize with others for the fourth, fifth, or sixth prize."
"Good idea, as expected of my sister, this brain is spinning fast! Just like me~"
At the end of the lottery, Jing Mingshuai really got a doll, but it was not a handsome soldier, but a cute and cute pink fairy.Just thinking about how to exchange this boring little demon fairy with some girls who have drawn handsome soldiers over there, when he saw Xiao Jingrui coming down from the stage with a bear doll, he couldn't think about it anymore Regarding the change of soldiers, I excitedly posted it to Xiao Jingrui: "Sister, it's ok, I got the oven! I got the massage chair! I got the notebook!"
Xiao Jingrui pouted Jing Mingshuai's big face, "I don't want to change."
Jing Mingshuai really couldn't figure it out, just now she said she could change it like this, but now she really got it, and it changed again.He glanced at her disappointedly, suddenly guessed some reasons, shook his head, and said nothing more.
"...Then which colleague got the lucky bear!"
Suddenly hearing this sentence came down from the stage, before Xiao Jingrui had time to respond, a person from the same project team next to her raised her hand for her, "Here, here, it's Xiao Jingrui! Xiao Jingrui got it!"
"Oh? So it's this colleague. Then, Xiao Xiao, would you like to exchange your little bear with Mr. Zhai for the third prize she drew, a professional coffee machine worth 3 yuan?"
"I don't want to change."
Xiao Jingrui didn't even think about it, her voice was covered by the noisy environment, except for Jing Mingshuai, everyone thought she had heard it wrong, the host asked again: "I heard it right, little girl Xiao, you just said that you... don't want to change?"
"Ah."
"Think about it clearly. This coffee machine is brand new. If you resell it, you can sell it for [-] to [-] yuan! It's only when you meet Mr. Zhai that it's so cheap. Hey, I'm going to buy it again now." I'll give you a chance, think about it carefully, don't waste this great opportunity!"
Some people in the audience started booing, some even joked, and found out hundreds of dollars to buy Xiao Jingrui's bear.
"I don't want to change." Xiao Jingrui shook her head and lowered her head. She didn't like the feeling of being watched by so many people.
"It's a pity. I like that little bear very much. Since Xiao Jingrui is unwilling to exchange it with me, let this coffee machine be left in the company. If you want to drink coffee in the future, you don't have to spend money to buy it..."
Xiao Jingrui heard Zhai Qin's regretful voice on the stage. Although she didn't look up, she knew that she must have the same confident smile on her face at the moment.
After Zhai Qin finished speaking, the people in the company who love coffee immediately cheered. Even those who don't usually like coffee, they also applauded happily under the encouragement of this atmosphere.Originally, the Christmas party was intended to be a joy and an atmosphere.Xiao Jingrui felt that she was out of place in this atmosphere.
"Sister Rui, they said to sing at night, let's go together~" Linzi came out of nowhere, she was so rare and relaxed, she was not at all like the reserved intern she used to be.
"You go, I won't go."
"Sister, our group also has activities at night, why don't you come and play with me, don't be so out of touch, you have to relax when it's time to relax."
"I don't want to go." Xiao Jingrui has never been interested in this kind of group activities.
"That's all right, you help me drive the car back, I will probably drink at night."
Xiao Jingrui went back to the company with Jing Mingshuai's key, and received a call from Zhai Qin on the way to the parking lot.
"Where is it?" Without any greeting or foreshadowing, this kind of strong leader's questioning style seems to have become Zhai Qin's habit.
"Company." Xiao Jingrui only answered two short words.
"I'm also in the company, you wait for me."
Xiao Jingrui wanted to say no, but he said uncontrollably, "I'm in the parking lot."
"it is good."
Zhai Qin came down a few minutes later, glanced at Xiao Jingrui, opened the door of his car, "Get in the car."
Xiao Jingrui paused, and followed her without saying a word.
Sitting in the car, seeing that Zhai Qin had already started the car, he asked, "Where are you going?"
Zhai Qin didn't answer her, and asked after the car drove out of the parking lot: "Xiao Jingrui, something is wrong with you today."
"No." Xiao Jingrui stared ahead.
"So you have it, because I didn't call you yesterday?"
"No." Xiao Jingrui didn't like the way Zhai Qin knew everything, which made her feel extremely uncomfortable.She can't figure her out, she has no sense of security.
"Why is that?" Zhai Qin didn't understand Xiao Jingrui.
"Mr. Zhai, why do you want that bear doll?" Xiao Jingrui didn't want to dwell on this issue any longer.
"Why don't you want to exchange with me?" Zhai Qin asked her back.
"You answer my question first."
"You told me, so I'll tell you." Zhai Qin kicked the ball back. She knew that Xiao Jingrui's reluctance to change the bear must have something to do with her mood, and she wanted to know the reason.
Xiao Jingrui stopped talking, and asked after a long while, "Where are we going?"
"bar."
The street is very lively tonight, which further accentuated the dullness in the car. Zhai Qin opened the window, and the cold wind came in, and at the same time, the bustle outside was blown into the car.Xiao Jingrui didn't like this kind of noise. He glanced at Zhai Qin's open car window. A group of young people in school uniforms passed by on the street outside. They were [-] or [-] years old, and they seemed to be discussing with each other noisily. Which venue will you go next? Continue to have fun.
It's really enviable.Xiao Jingrui recalled her own. She liked to draw, but she didn't like to study. Especially during the third year of high school, she almost skipped all classes. Fortunately, she had always had a good foundation, and her grades were among the best among art students.She had a lot of friends in high school, but it was rare for a group of people like this to go crazy and make trouble on the street, and would not go out with friends to drink and carnival. Even if she skipped class, she would just stay in a certain milk tea shop to watch An afternoon of comic books or drawing a few essays.
It was only then that Xiao Jingrui realized that he seemed to have disliked getting together in crowds a long time ago.She once thought about attending a party with many people, and even dreamed that one day she could become the focus of the party, but no matter how she tried to adapt, she couldn't feel comfortable in those occasions, and sometimes she couldn't even have a good conversation.
"Here, get out of the car."
"Xiao Jingrui."
Zhai Qin called her twice before Xiao Jingrui recovered from the memory, opened the car door and got out of the car without saying a word.
Zhai Qin was waiting for her in front of the car, and when she came over, he moved closer to her, put his right hand through her forearm, as if nothing had happened, and walked towards the bar with her arm.
It seems like nothing happened.Xiao Jingrui thought to herself mockingly.How much she wished that time could stop at this moment, just being held by her like this, pretending that she belonged to her.
"The frequency of your absent-mindedness is a bit high today." Zhai Qin who pushed open the glass door of the bar turned to look at Xiao Jingrui who was distracted again.
Xiao Jingrui was about to deny it, but Ye Qing rushed towards them with a charming smile on his face: "Yo yo
"What do you mean?" Xiao Jingrui admired these people more and more, they could discover even the slightest sign of trouble, and then exaggerated it.
Yesterday, Mr. Zhai snickered at his phone.Yesterday, I also sent a text message to Mr. Zhai, but she didn't let me pick her up... Yesterday, I met Mr. Zhai in the elevator. She and Mr. Yi seemed in a bad mood, and she was very indifferent to herself ...
So is her smile because of herself or someone else?
Xiao Jingrui remembered the last text message Zhai Qin sent to him.
"fool".
There were only two words, and she read them over and over again last night while holding her phone under the covers.
"What do you think it can explain?" Xiaowen interrupted Xiao Jingrui's train of thought, and said firmly: "Only women in love can do this."
Xiao Jingrui didn't answer, Xiaowen continued: "You may not know it yet, the division of labor between President Zhai and Vice President Yi has always been clear, she never intervened in matters such as web games before, and Vice President Yi is also responsible for meeting customers. It’s always a matter of one person, but why did you go with Vice President Yi this time? Did you go more than once? When you come back, you’re in such a good mood that you can laugh out loud in the car!”
"Maybe I'm in a good mood because the project has been negotiated."
"I've been with President Zhai for so long, and she has negotiated countless projects. No matter how happy she is, she is never like this time." Xiaowen couldn't help but give Xiao Jingrui a blank look, "What an obvious thing! You see , Now Vice President Yi's project has problems, and President Zhai didn't go back all night, helping Vice President Yi turn the tide, this is true love."
"The company is not owned by Vice President Yi alone. It is normal for President Zhai to come forward to solve problems."
"I told you, Mr. Zhai didn't care about page games before. The page tour group was established by Vice President Yi. Now that Mr. Zhai has intervened, it's not normal." Xiaowen felt that Xiao Jingrui was a child It's really unteachable, like a log that doesn't understand how to say it.
"The coffee is getting cold, I'll bring it to Mr. Zhai first."
Xiao Jingrui left Xiaowen behind, but unconsciously began to think about what she said.Before she knew it, she had arrived at the door of Zhai Qin's office. She hesitated for a moment and knocked on the door three times.
"Come in."
Xiao Jingrui turned the doorknob, "Mr. Zhai," she called, "coffee."
Zhai Qin didn't say anything, just looked at her with one hand supporting his head, because of staying up late, bloodshot eyes could be faintly seen.
When Xiao Jingrui saw her like this, he was so distressed that he forgot everything for a moment.She took two steps forward to put the coffee on the table, saw the unopened milk and bread, and asked, "Why didn't you eat it?" She picked up the milk and was going to help Zhai Qin insert the straw, but found that the milk was already cold "I'll go warm you up again."
"No need, I don't have an appetite, I just want to drink some coffee." Zhai Qin stopped her.
"Eat some bread, don't just focus on work, you have to rest when it's time to rest." Xiao Jingrui returned to the table and unwrapped the bread and handed it to her.
Zhai Qin didn't look at the things handed over, but stared into Xiao Jingrui's eyes, "What did you call me just now?"
"What do you call you?" Xiao Jingrui was stunned, and then realized, "Oh, Qinqin, come and eat the bread."
Zhai Qin took a bite of the bread, the phone rang, she put down the bread to answer the phone.Xiao Jingrui has been standing by the side waiting for her to finish the call.
"Go ahead, I have to deal with some things." Zhai Qin said to her.
Xiao Jingrui felt a little lost, and after a muffled "um", he turned around and was about to leave, stopped at the door, turned back and said to Zhai Qin, "Do you have time tonight, let's have dinner together."
Zhai Qin could see Xiao Jingrui's emotions, but she was really out of control, so she could only give her an apologetic smile, "Another day."
"Well... what about tomorrow?"
Zhai Qin thought for a while and agreed, "Then tomorrow."
I don't know if I started to care about it, or if things got worse and worse. In the past two days, Xiao Jingrui has heard colleagues talking about Mr. Zhai and Vice President Yi more than once. All she can do is block all gossip and It was rumored that she planned to ask Zhai Qin in person at dinner.It's not that she doesn't trust Di Qin, but she always feels that there is always something missing between her and Di Qin.
Xiao Jingrui has never been confident in interpersonal communication, whether it is making friends or dating, so even though all her instincts are telling herself that Zhai Qin and Yi Shuming will have nothing more, her heart is still not at ease. Unless you hear the other party say it in person.
Xiao Jingrui began to lose her mind while listening to the Baijia forum in the earphones. After recovering, she made a decision.If the other party's answer is the same as what I hope, if she can make me feel at ease, then I should take the initiative, at least I should take the initiative to clarify certain things.
The dinner appointment was at the open-air restaurant that she and Zhai Qin had been to. Xiao Jingrui liked this restaurant quite a bit, but because of the cold weather, she reserved a seat indoors.Zhai Qin was not at the company in the afternoon, so she asked Xiao Jingrui to go first, and she would arrive later.
Xiao Jingrui stood on the terrace and smoked a cigarette. She originally wanted to stand here and wait for Zhai Qin to come, to see if she could see Zhai Qin's car coming from the opposite street, but the temperature was too low, she Unable to bear it any longer, he wrapped himself in his coat and retreated into the room.
"Have you been waiting for a long time?" Zhai Qin finally came. Although he looked a little more energetic than yesterday, his face was still full of exhaustion, and his eyes were even more bloodshot.
Xiao Jingrui shook his head and smiled at her gently.
"Have you ordered anything to eat?"
"No, I want to wait for you to come and order again."
The steaks in this restaurant are delicious, the meat quality of the beef is good, and the chef's craftsmanship is also great. Xiao Jingrui found out the last time he came here, even if he ordered it to be well-done, he would not feel old.When Xiao Jingrui eats beef outside, she never eats undercooked beef, and even bloodshot beef. No matter how high-end the restaurant is, as long as the waiter asks "How mature" is, she will remain firm. Say the word "fully cooked".
Today's steak was as delicious as last time, but Xiao Jingrui's mind was not on it. She absent-mindedly cut the steak into small pieces, secretly glancing at the person opposite from time to time.
"Qinqin." Xiao Jingrui finally put the fork gently on the side of the plate, and the stainless steel knife in her right hand was almost fogged by her.
"Huh?" Zhai Qin looked up at her with a smile on his lips.
Xiao Jingrui also smiled with her: "Are you going back to the company soon?"
Zhai Qin nodded and asked, "Do you have other arrangements?"
"No, I'll just ask casually, how is that matter handled? It's a headache."
"It's been negotiated. As long as we can recreate a set of UI within a week, there will be basically no major problems."
"That's good." Xiao Jingrui hesitated, not knowing where to start what he wanted to say next.
Looking at the other person's face, she always smiled so gently when she was with him, so those rumors are really just rumors, Xiao Jingrui thought, why don't you ask, there is no need for obvious things Don't take it out and ask.But she has already made a deal with herself, as long as she hears the other person tell herself that she will never have anything to do with that person again, she will tell all the words hidden in her heart and all her feelings towards her.
Xiao Jingrui took a breath and said, "I heard from people in the company...you and Vice President Yi are reconciled?"
Zhai Qin couldn't help being surprised when he heard Xiao Jingrui's question. When he came back this time, he was entangled in the page game before he even had time to step into the company. There were such rumors.
"Who said that?"
Zhai Qin didn't answer immediately. She carefully observed every change in Xiao Jingrui's expression. No matter what angle you looked at, the guy opposite was full of jealousy and grievance that he tried his best to cover up but failed.Zhai Qin wanted to tease Xiao Jingrui early in the morning, and she had endured it for two days, and now seeing her little appearance of wanting to talk but not talking, it was impossible not to tease her.
"Just listening to... what everyone said."
Zhai Qin's smile became more and more evil: "Not bad, you have started to listen to everyone now."
"So, is it true or not?" Xiao Jingrui's voice softened with an imperceptible gradient. She couldn't understand Zhai Qin's expression, but felt that the other party seemed to know everything, and she was just trying to figure it out. A little playful pet that doesn't follow the owner's intentions.
"Do you think it's real or fake?" Zhai Qin leaned forward slightly, resting his chin with one hand, his whole body was enveloped in an unfathomable temptation.
"I..." Xiao Jingrui's heart skipped a beat, and she flinched for a moment, but it was only for a moment, and then she began to quickly think about how to answer.She wanted to say "false", but if she said it was false, the other party would probably say, since you know it is false, why ask?If it is "true", wouldn't it be obvious that she doesn't trust it... Just when she was hesitating, Zhai Qin's cell phone rang from the bag next to her.
"I'll go take a call."
It took nearly half an hour for Zhai Qin to go, and the dishes on the table were cold.Xiao Jingrui had already taken advantage of this time to think about how to answer.It's boring to go around in circles, so I just directly tell the other party that there are some things I just want to hear from her.Well, this should be the most appropriate way, and it will be easier to elicit what I want to say later.
Xiao Jingrui guarded the prepared lines and finally waited for the person to come back, but Zhai Qin said to leave first.
"Here, pay the bill." Zhai Qin opened the bag while beckoning to the waiter.
"You go first, I will tie the knot."
Zhai Qin's lips parted slightly, wanting to say something to Xiao Jingrui, but felt that neither an apology nor an explanation seemed too weak at this time, so he just stood up and left a sentence of "I'll call you later" and left in a hurry.
Oh, big boss, I'm so busy...
Xiao Jingrui couldn't think of what else to do other than laugh at himself.If there is a trash can in front of her now, if she is ready to say what she wants to say to Zhai Qin, she can take it out and throw it away like trash, she will definitely stuff those words into the trash can without hesitation, and then slam it on cover.
In the end, she couldn't help but want to watch Di Qin go out of the store, but when she raised her head, there was no sign of Di Qin in the restaurant.
After paying the bill, Xiao Jingrui didn't want to leave, and she didn't have any appetite, so she sat on the sofa in the restaurant for a while, looking at the table full of dishes that had hardly been touched, and felt that it would be a pity not to eat them.Sighing, he picked up the stainless steel fork next to the plate again.
The meat was basically cold, and the soup had already started to solidify. Naturally, the taste would not be very good, but Xiao Jingrui didn't have the heart to ask for anything more.She forked the steaks she had just cut into her mouth one by one, until there was only a layer of salty soup left on the plate, and the feeling of fullness in her stomach gradually dominated her brain nerves.
Go back to sleep.
Take a hot shower first.
......
After lying on the bed, Xiao Jingrui read the book for a while, but found that he couldn't read it, so he started to be in a daze.Zhai Qin said that he would call her.
Xiao Jingrui didn't know when she fell asleep, it was very late anyway, because she opened her eyes with difficulty after a long time after the alarm clock rang the next morning.
The first thing I do after waking up is to check my phone to see if there are any missed calls or unread messages, but there are none.Just as I put the phone back on the bedside table, it rang suddenly.Because she was afraid of missing Zhai Qin's call, she turned on the ringer last night.
Xiao Jingrui, who was still sleepy, was startled by the sudden ringtone, and crawled and jumped on the bed to get the phone. When he picked it up, he was immediately discouraged, fell back heavily on the pillow, and asked the phone weakly. : "What's the matter, handsome guy."
"Hey! Merry Christmas~ old girl!" Jing Mingshuai on the other end of the phone was the exact opposite of her, as if he had been beaten to death.
"It's Christmas today?"
"Yes, do you want to go to work together? I'll drive out the car and wait for you later."
"Okay." Xiao Jingrui didn't listen to what Jing Mingshuai was still saying, and hung up the phone after a few words, and before she knew it, she was already standing in front of the closet.
Opening the closet, all gray shirts were neatly hung in a row, with a plain skirt hanging at the front.Xiao Jingrui stared at the skirt for a while, and finally reached out to grab the nearest shirt in front of her.
Xiao Jingrui prepared food for the acne, took a bath for Mid-Autumn Festival, checked the time, it was getting late, I didn’t have time to have breakfast at home, so I had to go out first, and when I arrived at the company, it was convenient to be downstairs with Jing Mingshuai Shop bought soy milk and buns.
Pressing the power button, Xiao Jingrui slumped in the chair with little strength, grabbed the bun and took two bites, feeling the greasy taste was disgusting, raised his hand lazily, and the bun was thrown into the trash can.
Lying on the table feeling lazy and erratic, she took out her phone and took a look. There were no missed calls or unread text messages. She switched to silent mode again, searched for a cartoon, and planned to watch the cartoon for a while before starting to do things.
"Early in the morning, you are not afraid of being arrested."
A faint voice came from behind, and Xiao Jingrui heard it vaguely with earphones. She froze for a moment, and didn't want to turn off the playback screen to make a needless cover-up. She turned her head slowly to look at the person behind her, and found that it was It was Jing Mingshuai, who took off the earphones and tapped the space bar with his right hand.
"Sister, are you okay?" Jing Mingshuai's expression became worried.
"What's wrong with me?" Being asked this for no reason, Xiao Jingrui was a little confused.
"Don't pretend to be in front of my brother. I felt that something was wrong with you from the morning. We grew up together, and my brother could tell at a glance that there was something in your heart. I just heard about what happened last night... .”
"What happened last night?" Xiao Jingrui immediately interrupted Jing Mingshuai. Could it be that yesterday I asked Mr. Zhai to confess my love to him but didn't succeed?No, it's impossible...
Jing Mingshuai let out a "hey" and looked at Xiao Jingrui with sideways eyes, wondering whether this guy really didn't know or pretended not to know, "Last night, President Zhai and Vice President Yi were in the office...they closed The door stayed inside for a long time, and no one knew what they were doing."
Xiao Jingrui turned back and closed the animation window, opened the working drawing, and said nonchalantly to the computer: "What does this have to do with me?"
"Whether you are related or not, I will just talk to you casually. It would be better if it is not related, so that you will not come to me crying when you are injured and sad," Jing Mingshuai said angrily, "By the way, Later, I heard from Xiaowen that they had a quarrel, and it was Zhai’s secretary.” Jing Mingshuai was afraid that Xiao Jingrui would not know who Xiaowen was, “She went in once on the way, just in time to hear them talk about Qi Yiping and Jiang Xuemei’s Name. Qi Yiping is the little lover of Vice President Yi whom we met in the mall that day. Do you know why Qi Yiping and Jiang Xuemei have been at odds with each other? Because Jiang Xuemei has been with Vice President Yi before this, and Vice President Yi has Naturally, she is not happy about having a new love."
"Wait, isn't Jiang Xuemei married?" Xiao Jingrui had clearly heard Jiang Xuemei complaining about her children and her parents-in-law before, so why is she falling in love with Yi Shuming again now.
"If you're married, you can't have extramarital affairs?" Jing Mingshuai felt for the first time that his sister was so innocent and a little stupid, "Anyway, you can decide for yourself. There was a lot of quarreling," Jing Mingshuai couldn't help but snort at this point, "They are not afraid of outsiders watching jokes at all."
"Other people's affairs..." Xiao Jingrui finished speaking halfway, and didn't continue talking irritably.
She couldn't understand Zhai Qin more and more, or it could be said that she had never understood Zhai Qin.She could feel that she also had feelings for herself, and her intuition told her that what happened last night was not as rumored, Zhai Qin and Yi Shuming's quarrel was definitely not just because of Yi Shuming's lover.But even so, why can't she pay attention to some things, even if it's just to take care of her emotions a little bit.
Not even an explanation afterwards...
So what was he in her eyes?Xiao Jingrui's heart was filled with boredom, she had never felt so wronged before.It might be better to smoke a cigarette at this time, but she just doesn't want to smoke, so let's go for a walk.
Zhai Qin woke up on the sofa in the office, and looked at the time. It was ten o'clock in the morning, and he had slept for almost three hours.I suddenly received a phone call from the investor yesterday, and the other party said that they would withdraw all investment in the project.Zhai Qin was very surprised at the time. Although UI plagiarism is indeed a very serious matter, she has already coordinated with the other party on these issues at the first time, and the other party also promised that as long as the UI problem is resolved within a week, they will not pursue it. But what happened to this sudden withdrawal of capital?
After further understanding, she found out that the investor had put forward a condition with the project team before, asking to replace the main artist of the project and the person who first proposed the plagiarism.But Yi Shuming did not replace these two people.
Qi Yiping must be fired, and Zhai Qin, in spite of Yi Shuming's strong opposition, directly issued a notice of dismissal as the company's boss, and then assured the investor with "it is not a wise decision to replace the main artist halfway through the project". With Jiang Xuemei, the matter has calmed down for the time being.
Zhai Qin was going to ask Xiao Wen to make a cup of coffee, but then remembered that he promised Xiao Jingrui yesterday that he would call her.She took out her mobile phone and was about to call. When she saw the date displayed on the mobile phone, it was already a day late, so she should explain it to her face to face.
Before leaving the office, Zhai Qin habitually walked to the computer, woke up the sleeping monitor, and found a message flashing in the lower right corner.Clicking on the message, it was the personnel department who was confirming with her about the Christmas party.
Is it Christmas today?A faint smile appeared on Zhai Qin's tired face.
She went to the page tour group and found that there was no one in Xiao Jingrui's seat. She guessed that the guy must have gone to smoke again. Unexpectedly, on the way to the corridor, she ran into Xiao Jingrui who was coming back.
Xiao Jingrui saw Zhai Qin from a distance, and his heart felt like a ball that fell on the concrete floor, bounced up, and fell back quickly.She gently exhaled the breath that was stuffed in her chest as if laughing at herself, and continued to walk forward without changing her expression. When she approached, she greeted lightly, "Mr. Zhai."
In fact, she was very confused, she didn't know what attitude she should take towards Zhai Qin now.It is impossible to have a good attitude. After all, I am still aggrieved, and there are still many things I don't want to understand.It's not right to have a bad attitude, she has no position to do that now, she is not even sure in her heart that she is anything.That can only be neither salty nor light.
Zhai Qin was taken aback by her indifference and stopped her.Xiao Jingrui stopped there, turned his head to look at Zhai Qin, his eyes were like the sunshine of the past few days, he could clearly see the light, but he couldn't feel the temperature at all.
Zhai Qin knew that she was quarreling with him, and blamed himself for breaking his promise yesterday and not calling her, explaining: "Last night, there were a lot of things to deal with, so..."
"It's okay, I went to bed early yesterday." Xiao Jingrui interrupted her without any fluctuations in her voice.
Zhai Qin looked at the person in front of him. Ever since he became acquainted with Xiao Jingrui, he hadn't seen this expressionless and serious face for a long time, but he saw it again today.Looking down, she saw the other party's thick down jacket and the dark gray shirt inside, and her anticipation sank, "Didn't you agree to wear a skirt today?"
"Oh, I forgot."
"Really." The other party's expression and tone did not seem to have been forgotten at all. Zhai Qin sighed, turned and left.
Xiao Jingrui looked at the back of the other party walking away without nostalgia, and suddenly felt her nose sour, and her heart became even more blocked.So emotionally, I was always too young to fall into it so easily?
Zhai Qin knew that he was wrong first, but how could Xiao Jingrui be so indifferent, this is too exaggerated, isn't it just a phone call.She obviously still remembered about the skirt, did she not wear it on purpose, was it to anger herself or did she not care at all?
There was a tendon in Zhai Qin's head that was being pulled and hurt. She rubbed her temples. In the three days since she came back, she had slept less than five hours in total. She was too tired and had no strength to think anymore. What happened to Xiao Jingrui.It stands to reason that Yi Shuming should be fully responsible for the page game team, but this project was bridged by a friend of his, from getting the IP to the recommendation of the investor, so every step of the project must be done. Have your own involvement.
In the past two days, she not only had to talk to investors, lawyers, and various people, but also took care of the company's internal affairs, and explained to her friend... In short, she was so busy that she had no time to spare.Fortunately, the plagiarism incident was finally subdued. After lunch, Zhai Qin took a rare nap.
No one in the company worked overtime today, and everyone was looking forward to the lucky draw for the Christmas party. They dropped what they were doing early in the morning and arrived at the hotel where the party would be held in groups of three or five.I heard that the first prize is a 20-class medium-sized car, the second prize is ten days of paid vacation plus 5 yuan in travel funds, and the third prize does not sound so attractive, but the price is still in place: worth 3 yuan Professional semi-automatic double-head coffee machine.
"Hey, look, that's a massage chair, haven't you always wanted to buy one!" Jing Mingshuai excitedly nudged Xiao Jingrui with his elbow.
"Fourth prize, I don't believe I have that luck." Xiao Jingrui was not as excited as Jing Mingshuai.
"Have some confidence in yourself. No matter how bad it is, the fifth prize laptop is not bad. It's still from Apple. I don't know what model it is."
"I would rather have the ipadpro with the sixth prize."
"ipadpro, it's really good for you to get it. It's useless for me to get it. I'll give it to you when I get it." Jing Mingshuai looked as if he would definitely draw the sixth prize tonight.
"Actually, the air purifier is also quite useful."
"I like that earphone, the market price is several thousand more."
"The sweeping robot is not bad either. When you take it back, it just cleans up the pox hair." Xiao Jingrui glanced at the piles of prizes on the podium, and began to think about what he should get. "I really can't get a massage chair." It would also be nice to have a fully automatic massage and foot washing machine.”
"Okay, I'll give it to you if I get the footwashing machine. Well, I want those handsome soldier dolls over there."
"Soldier? Okay, I'll try to see if I can get it for you. Hey, do you see that over there is an oven? I just want to change to a bigger oven." Xiao Jingrui suddenly felt that most of these prizes seemed to be for him. They are all very useful, and I silently give a thumbs up to the logistics of the company responsible for purchasing and organizing and planning the sweepstakes.
Still talking with Jing Mingshuai about what to smoke later, the host began to speak on stage.Xiao Jingrui and Jing Mingshuai didn't bother to listen, and continued to discuss enthusiastically what to draw later, until the series of performances were over, and the lottery session kicked off amid long-awaited calls.
As the boss of the company, Zhai Qin naturally became the first person to draw a lottery, and stepped onto the lottery platform under the eyes of everyone.
The host spared no effort to instigate the atmosphere of the audience. The moment Zhai Qin drew out the number plate, she screamed excitedly: "Wow! The third prize! As expected of Mr. Zhai! I got the third prize right away!! "
Zhai Qin kept smiling all the time, but felt a little helpless towards the company's administration. These guys are really good at flattering.But that's to be expected.
Before Zhai Qin asked Xiao Jingrui which prizes should be set up in the Christmas lucky draw. He wanted to see if Xiao Jingrui had anything she wanted, so that she could be happy if she got it. More or less can also be a little excited.Unexpectedly, that guy Xiao Jingrui was so unscrupulous and refused to tell, so she had to change some of the prize settings according to what she knew about her.
But the administration group got it wrong, thinking that they wanted to draw these prizes, and the first and second prizes were too obvious, so they let themselves draw a third prize.
Zhai Qin delivered a simple speech, and finally said jokingly: "In fact, I want this bear doll more than the coffee machine. If anyone gets it, I would like to exchange the coffee machine with him."
"Hey, sister, why don't you just take a bear doll and go back with Mr. Zhai for a coffee machine. That's a coffee machine that's tens of thousands of dollars bigger, and it's much more advanced than your old hand grinder." Jing Mingshuai Quickly give Xiao Jingrui an idea.
"I just like to grind it by hand." Xiao Jingrui didn't think so at all. After thinking about it, he nodded and said, "But we can exchange the third prize with others for the fourth, fifth, or sixth prize."
"Good idea, as expected of my sister, this brain is spinning fast! Just like me~"
At the end of the lottery, Jing Mingshuai really got a doll, but it was not a handsome soldier, but a cute and cute pink fairy.Just thinking about how to exchange this boring little demon fairy with some girls who have drawn handsome soldiers over there, when he saw Xiao Jingrui coming down from the stage with a bear doll, he couldn't think about it anymore Regarding the change of soldiers, I excitedly posted it to Xiao Jingrui: "Sister, it's ok, I got the oven! I got the massage chair! I got the notebook!"
Xiao Jingrui pouted Jing Mingshuai's big face, "I don't want to change."
Jing Mingshuai really couldn't figure it out, just now she said she could change it like this, but now she really got it, and it changed again.He glanced at her disappointedly, suddenly guessed some reasons, shook his head, and said nothing more.
"...Then which colleague got the lucky bear!"
Suddenly hearing this sentence came down from the stage, before Xiao Jingrui had time to respond, a person from the same project team next to her raised her hand for her, "Here, here, it's Xiao Jingrui! Xiao Jingrui got it!"
"Oh? So it's this colleague. Then, Xiao Xiao, would you like to exchange your little bear with Mr. Zhai for the third prize she drew, a professional coffee machine worth 3 yuan?"
"I don't want to change."
Xiao Jingrui didn't even think about it, her voice was covered by the noisy environment, except for Jing Mingshuai, everyone thought she had heard it wrong, the host asked again: "I heard it right, little girl Xiao, you just said that you... don't want to change?"
"Ah."
"Think about it clearly. This coffee machine is brand new. If you resell it, you can sell it for [-] to [-] yuan! It's only when you meet Mr. Zhai that it's so cheap. Hey, I'm going to buy it again now." I'll give you a chance, think about it carefully, don't waste this great opportunity!"
Some people in the audience started booing, some even joked, and found out hundreds of dollars to buy Xiao Jingrui's bear.
"I don't want to change." Xiao Jingrui shook her head and lowered her head. She didn't like the feeling of being watched by so many people.
"It's a pity. I like that little bear very much. Since Xiao Jingrui is unwilling to exchange it with me, let this coffee machine be left in the company. If you want to drink coffee in the future, you don't have to spend money to buy it..."
Xiao Jingrui heard Zhai Qin's regretful voice on the stage. Although she didn't look up, she knew that she must have the same confident smile on her face at the moment.
After Zhai Qin finished speaking, the people in the company who love coffee immediately cheered. Even those who don't usually like coffee, they also applauded happily under the encouragement of this atmosphere.Originally, the Christmas party was intended to be a joy and an atmosphere.Xiao Jingrui felt that she was out of place in this atmosphere.
"Sister Rui, they said to sing at night, let's go together~" Linzi came out of nowhere, she was so rare and relaxed, she was not at all like the reserved intern she used to be.
"You go, I won't go."
"Sister, our group also has activities at night, why don't you come and play with me, don't be so out of touch, you have to relax when it's time to relax."
"I don't want to go." Xiao Jingrui has never been interested in this kind of group activities.
"That's all right, you help me drive the car back, I will probably drink at night."
Xiao Jingrui went back to the company with Jing Mingshuai's key, and received a call from Zhai Qin on the way to the parking lot.
"Where is it?" Without any greeting or foreshadowing, this kind of strong leader's questioning style seems to have become Zhai Qin's habit.
"Company." Xiao Jingrui only answered two short words.
"I'm also in the company, you wait for me."
Xiao Jingrui wanted to say no, but he said uncontrollably, "I'm in the parking lot."
"it is good."
Zhai Qin came down a few minutes later, glanced at Xiao Jingrui, opened the door of his car, "Get in the car."
Xiao Jingrui paused, and followed her without saying a word.
Sitting in the car, seeing that Zhai Qin had already started the car, he asked, "Where are you going?"
Zhai Qin didn't answer her, and asked after the car drove out of the parking lot: "Xiao Jingrui, something is wrong with you today."
"No." Xiao Jingrui stared ahead.
"So you have it, because I didn't call you yesterday?"
"No." Xiao Jingrui didn't like the way Zhai Qin knew everything, which made her feel extremely uncomfortable.She can't figure her out, she has no sense of security.
"Why is that?" Zhai Qin didn't understand Xiao Jingrui.
"Mr. Zhai, why do you want that bear doll?" Xiao Jingrui didn't want to dwell on this issue any longer.
"Why don't you want to exchange with me?" Zhai Qin asked her back.
"You answer my question first."
"You told me, so I'll tell you." Zhai Qin kicked the ball back. She knew that Xiao Jingrui's reluctance to change the bear must have something to do with her mood, and she wanted to know the reason.
Xiao Jingrui stopped talking, and asked after a long while, "Where are we going?"
"bar."
The street is very lively tonight, which further accentuated the dullness in the car. Zhai Qin opened the window, and the cold wind came in, and at the same time, the bustle outside was blown into the car.Xiao Jingrui didn't like this kind of noise. He glanced at Zhai Qin's open car window. A group of young people in school uniforms passed by on the street outside. They were [-] or [-] years old, and they seemed to be discussing with each other noisily. Which venue will you go next? Continue to have fun.
It's really enviable.Xiao Jingrui recalled her own. She liked to draw, but she didn't like to study. Especially during the third year of high school, she almost skipped all classes. Fortunately, she had always had a good foundation, and her grades were among the best among art students.She had a lot of friends in high school, but it was rare for a group of people like this to go crazy and make trouble on the street, and would not go out with friends to drink and carnival. Even if she skipped class, she would just stay in a certain milk tea shop to watch An afternoon of comic books or drawing a few essays.
It was only then that Xiao Jingrui realized that he seemed to have disliked getting together in crowds a long time ago.She once thought about attending a party with many people, and even dreamed that one day she could become the focus of the party, but no matter how she tried to adapt, she couldn't feel comfortable in those occasions, and sometimes she couldn't even have a good conversation.
"Here, get out of the car."
"Xiao Jingrui."
Zhai Qin called her twice before Xiao Jingrui recovered from the memory, opened the car door and got out of the car without saying a word.
Zhai Qin was waiting for her in front of the car, and when she came over, he moved closer to her, put his right hand through her forearm, as if nothing had happened, and walked towards the bar with her arm.
It seems like nothing happened.Xiao Jingrui thought to herself mockingly.How much she wished that time could stop at this moment, just being held by her like this, pretending that she belonged to her.
"The frequency of your absent-mindedness is a bit high today." Zhai Qin who pushed open the glass door of the bar turned to look at Xiao Jingrui who was distracted again.
Xiao Jingrui was about to deny it, but Ye Qing rushed towards them with a charming smile on his face: "Yo yo
