Chapter 44

Yan Qing was locked outside the room by Zhou Mingshu, and then received a message.

[Xixi, please let me be alone for a while.]

When she returned to the office, she saw Ming Xu standing at the door. She walked forward and he also came over. They smiled at each other.

"Are you working as a security guard at the gate?"

Ming Xu glanced at the office door. "How can I dare to let him go when the leader hasn't given the order yet?"

Yan Qing opened the door and walked in. Hearing the noise, the people who were wandering around in the room froze for a moment, and breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the person coming: "Sister Xixi, Brother Ming."

Why are you suddenly so polite? Yan Qing didn't fall for it: "What are you going to do?"

After hearing this, Luo Jing, who had thought of a hundred ways to speak, was stunned. He asked in an almost pleading tone: "Sister, what do you think I should do?"

Yan Qing didn't want to waste time talking to him: "You are an adult now. No matter what happens, it is your choice. Since you want to stay in Haicheng, I won't take care of small matters, but for big matters, you must discuss it with us. Your first priority now is to apologize to your sister and then go back to Yuancheng with her."

When he heard that they were going back to Yuancheng, Luo Jing became anxious and turned his back to the two of them: "I'm not going back."

"It's not up to you."

Seeing that he couldn't convince Yan Qing, Luo Jing turned to look at Ming Xu, who had been silent the whole time. Brother Ming should be Sister Xixi's boyfriend, right? Otherwise, why would Sister Xixi consult him about everything? "Brother Ming."

Hearing Luo Jing's meaning, Ming Xu quickly stated his position: "Listen to your sister."

"You guys!" Luo Jing raised his hand and then put it down, and finally said nothing.

The next morning, Yan Qing personally sent Zhou Mingshu and Luo Jing to the airport.

On the way, Luo Jing was very nervous. He didn't know whether his grandparents were still angry with him, and whether his family members would blame him.

Zhou Mingshu remained silent. Yan Qing noticed Luo Jing's worry and squeezed his arm.

When they arrived at the airport, neither of them had any large luggage, so they checked in and went through security. Only then did Zhou Mingshu calm down a bit. She held Yan Qing's hand and told her not to worry, "You can go back."

"I'll leave after you guys go in."

"Sister, are you still worried about me?" Luo Jing is really a naughty kid, who makes people worry.

Yan Qing followed his words and said, "Don't be angry with your elders." After that, she signaled Zhou Mingshu with her eyes. Luo Jing nodded, reassuring her.

After watching the two of them pass through security, Yan Qing prepared to take the subway back.

Mingxu at the company also received the news. He wanted to skip work, but was stopped by a meeting.

[Ming Xu]: Another meeting, I want to get off work.

[Yan Qing]: We still have to work hard.

Mingxu listened to the employee's report with an expressionless face, but his hands were hidden behind the computer and he was secretly playing with his mobile phone, occasionally observing if anyone noticed him.

[Ming Xu]: There is a music festival next to your B&B. Do you want to go watch it together tonight?

[Yan Qing]: Okay.

Yan Qing had never participated in this kind of activity before, so he agreed readily.

The ticket for this concert was given to him by Mingli. He had originally intended to give it to Yan Qing so that she could bring her friends to relax, but he didn't expect Zhou Mingshu to take his people back today. Mingxu got the advantage and immediately took his place.

Seeing the good things Yan Qing sent, he felt so happy inside.

It was still morning, but his heart had already flown away.

Yan Qing sat on the subway and began to take time to discuss the script with Zhu Yu and others. Zhu Yu was an expert in this area. Although she was the main editor, she still had a lot to learn. Zhu Yu was a person who knew everything. She answered all of Yan Qing's questions with all her heart, and even said some things that Yan Qing didn't ask.

The communication between the two was very pleasant.

The original work has basically not been changed much, and the character settings are also based on the original direction.

After arriving at the subway station and finishing her work, she returned to the B&B to continue writing. She planned to start writing during the National Day holiday, but the wedding of a relative or friend was in a few days, so she had to free up three days.

I stayed in front of the computer until the afternoon and even forgot to eat lunch.

Mingxu sent a lot of messages. After reading them one by one, he was either complaining about work or shouting that he wanted to get off work.

[Yan Qing]: I always thought you were a workaholic.

[Ming preface]: There is no workaholic gene in our family.

You are right. Although Ming's father was a diligent boss before he retired, he would take vacations when they were due, and he would never forget any holidays. He even personally took care of his family's birthdays, and he cared about them more than the birthday person himself.

Ming's mother is a romantic. She works an eight-hour workday, dates her husband on weekends, has afternoon tea with friends, and goes on vacation abroad every year.

They say that rest is for better work.

There is also a game fanatic and a person in the family who doesn’t want to go to work and chooses to start his own business.

[Yan Qing]: Is starting your own business easier than working for a job?

[Ming Dynasty Preface]: It’s too late to regret.

Reading Mingxu's words, Yan Qing's fatigue from writing slowly disappeared. She sat on the lounge chair on the balcony and looked at the sea in the distance.

Mingxu moved this chair in not long ago.

"While the tail end of summer is still here."

Yan Zheng just sent a message saying that the house procedures have been completed. Yan's father wanted to write Yan Qing's name, but she was not there when she was doing the procedures, and Yan Qing didn't care about it, so he wrote Yan's mother's name.

The new house is also in Liujiang District. The overall style is what Yan Qing likes, and the furniture is all brand new, so you can move in right away.

After thinking for a moment, Yan Qing told Ming Xu about the house.

Ming Xu, who had just finished reading the document, saw Yan Qing's message, and his gloomy face immediately brightened up. He was about to click on it when he saw that the employee in front of him had not left yet.

"go out."

Employee: "Then I'll send it back to you after I've made the changes."

As soon as I walked out of the office, I bumped into the oncoming assistant.

When the employees saw the assistant, their eyes filled with tears: "Assistant Zhang, is President Ming coming back?" It seemed that the dark days were about to end.

"You're overthinking it."

I knocked on the door, but there was no sound from the person inside.

"Mr. Ming, are you there?"

The assistant looked at the direction the employee had just left and was puzzled. He didn't see anyone come out just now, and there was no secret room or secret door in the office. Was this a sudden incident happening in broad daylight?

Just as I was thinking about it, the door opened from the inside.

Ming Xu exuded a terrifying aura that told him not to get close. Assistant Zhang took a step back and asked cautiously, "Do you want to leave?"

"get off work."

He is really on time, even more punctual than his boss.

Seeing the assistant hesitate to speak, Ming Xu asked, "What's the matter?"

The assistant handed over the invitation professionally: "There's a cocktail party tonight."

"I have something." After saying that, Ming Xu was about to leave, but was stopped by his assistant. He stared at the person in front of him with disdainful eyes.

The assistant was terrified. "I didn't want to do that either, but this is your brother's order. He pays me, so I have no choice but to listen to him." "Boss Ming told me to tell you that you must go to this cocktail party tonight."

Ming Xu looked at the time. It was five o'clock and the concert started at seven o'clock. It would take him half an hour to get back from the company. If he delayed any longer, it would be too late.

"Tell him I'm not going." After saying that, he strode away, leaving only the poor assistant.

Ming Li was happily playing a game when he was interrupted by a call from his assistant. The person on the other end looked like he was about to cry: "Boss Ming, Little Boss Ming ran away."

"Run away?" This was also something Mingli expected. His younger brother was not an obedient person.

The assistant felt helpless: "What about the cocktail party?"

"Let Gao Lu go."

Gao Lu is the head of the planning department and one of Mingli's right-hand men. He wasn't surprised at all when he received the news. "It's not like Mingli's leg is broken."

Listening to Mr. Gao's words, Assistant Zhang felt that he really didn't dare to stay with these ancestors for another minute. Now he couldn't leave and could only smile foolishly on the side.

Gao Lu: "Where's Mr. Xiao Ming? Why isn't he going?"

After hearing what Assistant Zhang said, Gao Lu lost his temper and smiled bitterly: "I really owed them two brothers in my previous life."

After leaving the company, Ming Xu received a call from Ming Li. He said straight to the point: "I'm not going to the cocktail party."

Mingli: "I know, what are you so anxious about?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ming Xu hung up the phone.

You talk so much.

Looking at the phone with no reply, Yan Qing lay on the sofa. She had already put on some light makeup and felt good about herself.

Just then, news from Ming Xu arrived.

[I'm on my way back. Do you want to go eat first? ]

Half an hour later, the two met at the door.

Looking at Yan Qing in a long dress, Ming Xu was stunned for a moment before he reacted and got off the car.

“It looks very nice.”

Sitting in the car, Yan Qing explained the news: "The house was finalized by my parents and my uncle. It's really good, so we bought it directly. I also learned about it when I was in Nancheng. I've been busy recently and forgot to tell you."

Ming Xu said "hmm" and said nothing else.

Seeing this, Yan Qing said nothing more.

When they arrived at the restaurant, which was booked by Mingxu, it was right next to the concert. After entering, they found that it was full, so Mingxu found a staff member.

"Nothing nearby is booked. If you don't like the evening, we can go eat somewhere else after the festival is over."

"good."

Because of what had just happened in the car, the two of them didn't have much to say during dinner. Just after six o'clock, the music festival area was already packed with people. Yan Qing kept looking out the window, seeing the bustling scene outside. Ming Xu noticed her movements and asked, "Shall we go over now?"

Fortunately, they had internal tickets, so they could go to the front without having to reserve a seat early.

Yan Qing was also attending a music festival for the first time, and she was quite curious. She looked around and then leaned over to Ming Xu and whispered, "Everyone is dressed up so formally. If I get another chance, I'd like to go and learn from them."

"Okay, we can go to a concert next time. Do you have a favorite singer?"

"No, what about you?"

The two people gave the same answer.

At seven o'clock, the music festival started on time. Yan Qing didn't know the first singer, but he sounded very familiar. The little girl next to her shouted the singer's name loudly, and Yan Qing was somewhat infected.

The little girl who was running and jumping just now saw the two couples standing next to her like wooden figures, and kept chatting them up: "Dancing, quickly, with me." As she said that, she stuffed two more glow sticks into Yan Qing's hand and motioned her to give one to the person next to her.

The two old cadres started their first life under the guidance of the little girl.

After the first singer finished and it was time for intermission, the little girl stared at Yan Qing and asked, "Sister, isn't this your first time at the music festival?"

Looking at Yan Qing's expression, the little girl suddenly realized: "I guessed right. You don't look like regulars at this kind of occasion."

Yan Qing nodded, confirming her statement. The little girl continued, "It seems like you two can't let go. You could go to a concert. It might be a better date for you two than a music festival." After that, she took out her phone and checked the latest concert schedule. She would occasionally look up and ask if the two had any favorite singers. The little girl was incredulous when she heard the answer. "Wow, you two don't even watch TV dramas, do you? What do you usually do?"

"I'm busy with work and have very little time."

"Yeah, it's so hard." The little girl seemed to empathize, "I can only watch my favorite singer on my birthday too."

Ming Xu stood by and watched the two interact with a smile.

As she spoke, the little girl showed Yan Qing some singers who were having concerts recently. "These are the better ones. You can choose one to go and see."

Yan Qing: "Do you have any recommendations?"

The little girl thought for a moment and pointed at a female singer above: "You should know this one, right? Her costumes, makeup, and singing skills are all top-notch."

"Then let's go to her concert."

The music festival ended, and Yan Qing and Ming Xu sent the girl to the exit.

After watching her and her parents leave, Ming Xu spoke: "I'll buy the tickets."

"Can you grab it?"

Ming Xu shook his head: "No need to fight."

Yan Qing understood clearly, the hateful capitalist.
