"Tell me what exactly happened," Ye Qing said, unable to figure it out, and asked Xi Quan directly.
Ye Qing was genuinely curious, but what she really wanted to know was the intricacies of the workplace.
Although she is still a student, she owns her own shop and is considered a small business owner, so interpersonal relationships are very important to her.
Xi Quan manages a real estate company and a restaurant, so he must have some experience in this area.
Ye Qing has always believed in the saying: "Among three people walking together, there must be one who can teach me."
Regardless of whether she and Xi Quan had their share of arguments, Ye Qing knew that Xi Quan was definitely her senior in business.
Xi Quan was naturally generous in telling Ye Qing what he had said, but being looked at with such admiration by Ye Qing made him a little embarrassed, but at the same time he felt a little smug and thought he should stretch himself a bit.
Clearing his throat with a haughty cough, Xi Quan said, "That day when you came to see me, I asked Sister Liu to go find you. It was indeed to give you the company's order. I told her you were my girlfriend, and then I guided Sister Liu to ask what you did for a living. I told her you were a designer and now run your own shop."
I'm not sure if Sister Liu understood what I meant at this point, but it doesn't matter if she didn't. As long as the company's order isn't finalized, I'll bring it up at a suitable opportunity.
This was done without my knowledge that you were coming to deliver clothes. When you came, weren't you carrying a bag from your store? I saw the big "Green Leaf" characters on it. Your recent collaboration with Zitai Fashion on matching couple outfits sold very well; many people know a little about it. So, before I could even remind Sister Liu, she understood what I meant. So, it's all because you put your heart into it.”
Nowadays, most clothing stores sell bags, but they are all wholesale. It's rare to find a bag like Ye Qing's, which is made of canvas, can be reused, and has a brand label. Ye Qing may not be unique, but her ideas are certainly ahead of their time.
The original intention was indeed to let more people know about Aoba, and it seems that this method has been effective.
So when she heard Xi Quan say that, Ye Qing didn't mince words and proudly raised her head. However, she didn't forget Xi Quan's contribution: "Although I helped myself by planning ahead, your help is also indispensable, so thank you."
"If you're going to thank me, shouldn't you be more sincere?" Xi Quan seized the opportunity to ask for more.
Ye Qing asked, "What constitutes a sincere expression of gratitude?"
“At least it’s not like what you did, just a superficial, verbal thank you,” Xi Quan said.
Ye Qing glanced sideways at Xi Quan, who was driving. Although she couldn't figure out what Xi Quan meant, she knew he was trying to take advantage of the situation.
Ye Qing acknowledged that Xi Quan had indeed been a great help to him, but he didn't want Xi Quan to become too smug, lest he become too arrogant in the future.
So he didn't follow up on Xi Quan's question, because if he did, Xi Quan would have stated his requirements, and if Ye Qing didn't comply, it would seem like he didn't keep his word.
However, Xi Quan was still waiting for Ye Qing to continue asking questions.
Who knew that after waiting for a long time, Ye Qing still didn't ask any more questions, so Xi Quan took advantage of the red light to turn his head and look at Ye Qing, as if to ask, why don't you continue asking questions?
Ye Qing raised an eyebrow, her gaze meeting Xi Quan's with a hint of provocation, as if she were having a silent conversation with him from afar, "I'm not going to ask you, I just want to watch you get anxious."
Xi Quan was quite helpless. He wanted to guide Ye Qing to continue asking him questions, but unfortunately the red light had already turned green, so he could only drive on.
Seeing Xi Quan's helpless and disappointed expression, Ye Qing smiled slightly. Although she was happy that she had the upper hand, she still felt a little sorry for Xi Quan's disappointed look. Although she didn't know what was so unbearable about such a small thing, she just didn't want to see Xi Quan disappointed.
Following her heart, Ye Qing turned and kissed Xi Quan on the cheek: "Are you satisfied with my verbal thanks?"
The unexpected kiss and Ye Qing's provocative yet irresistible words stunned Xi Quan. He slammed on the brakes and pulled over to the side of the road, gripping the steering wheel tightly with both hands and staring straight ahead. He was still incredulous at Ye Qing's actions, thinking he was dreaming.
Ye Qing didn't think much of it and kissed Xi Quan without thinking. She even said something, but the moment the words left her mouth, she regretted it and wondered if she had been bewitched and kissed Xi Quan.
Especially seeing Xi Quan's incredulous expression, Ye Qing felt even more embarrassed and turned to look out the car window.
The constant flow of people and cars outside only accentuated their quietness and silence. The small space inside the carriage already felt cramped, and now that both of them were silent, it was too quiet, making one feel a little uneasy.
Since Ye Qing had made this unexpected move first, he decided to break the awkward silence: "Let's go..."
Before Ye Qing could even speak, Xi Quan reached out and grabbed the back of her neck. Before Ye Qing could react, she was pulled in front of Xi Quan and her mouth was covered by his gag.
After a long while, Ye Qing's breathing became smooth again. Then she heard Xi Quan say, "If you're going to say thank you verbally like I do, then your words are just scratching the surface."
Aside from feeling embarrassed, the only word that came to Ye Qing's mind was "too much of a pushover!"
I can't spoil Xi Quan anymore. If I argue with him every day, he won't cause so much trouble.
Although she thought this way, Ye Qing still appeared shy and timid, completely different from her usual energetic self.
Looking at the shy Ye Qing, Xi Quan finally felt a sense of triumph, as if he had won back a point.
After the two finished eating out, Xi Quan took Ye Qing back to school.
Upon returning to school, Ye Qing had just pushed open the dormitory door when Xu Xiaoyue, who had already returned from outside, quickly pulled her into the dormitory.
Seeing Xu Xiaoyue's anxious expression, Ye Qing asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
"Guess who I ran into while I was taking pictures of the calendar today?" Xu Xiaoyue asked mysteriously.
Although Xu Xiaoyue acted mysteriously, Ye Qing thought that since she said that, she must know someone. The only person Ye Qing knew who also worked as a model for calendars was Ye Shuang.
But Ye Shuang is alright so quickly after the car accident?!
This was yet another unexpected turn of events for Ye Qing.
Xu Xiaoyue lost her composure a little. Seeing that Ye Qing wasn't asking her anymore, she continued, "I saw Ye Shuang! She's actually alright!"
Hearing Xiaoyue say this, Ye Qing knew he had guessed correctly, and Xiaoyue's surprise was also Ye Qing's surprise.
