Chapter 88 There's no point being jealous
Their breaths intertwined, and their noses touched lightly.
Jiang Yining hooked her arms around his neck, tilted her head, and took the initiative to kiss his lips.
He Chi was very surprised. Jiang Yining was really reserved in this regard, and he was usually the one who took the initiative.
He was about to cooperate with Jiang Yining's actions when the sudden vibration of his cell phone broke the charming atmosphere.
Jiang Yining glanced at it.
He Chi turned her head back and stopped her from answering the phone, "Call back later."
"No." Jiang Yining took the phone and said, "It's Qiaoqiao."
He Chi understood that his best friend was more important than his husband, so there was no point in him being jealous.
He raised his hand and rubbed her hair with a slight displeasure, then got up and went to take a shower.
Jiang Yining straightened his messy hair and said softly, "Childish."
She answered Zhang Qiao's call and asked, "Qiaoqiao, what's wrong?"
Zhang Qiao sighed, "Ningning, I might have to ask He Chi to help me make an appointment with Song Xingjin. The project probably didn't fall through because I spilled the red wine. The shitty manager insisted on blaming me and holding me responsible. Damn it!"
"I can't see Mr. Song now, and I can't get any response. Can I ask He Chi to ask him out? I'll see if I can salvage the relationship."
"If not, I have to make sure that the project wasn't lost because of me. If I'm fired without reason, I have to get compensation before I leave."
Jiang Yining said, "No problem, He Chi went to take a shower, I will talk to him later.
Zhang Qiao asked again, "Ningning, are you sure it won't be too much trouble? If you have to owe someone a favor, forget it. It's not worth it."
Jiang Yining had already asked He Chi about this.
Jiang Yining relayed what He Chi said, "They are from the same circle and have known each other since childhood. It's just an appointment to hang out. It's not a big deal."
She comforted Zhang Qiao, "Qiaoqiao, don't be angry. With your abilities, you can shine wherever you go. Since you're not happy working at this company, maybe finding another job would be better."
Zhang Qiao hummed, "If we can get the compensation, let's find a suitable time to go traveling."
Jiang Yining smiled and said, "Okay, we haven't gone out for a walk in a long time."
Taking advantage of the holiday, He Chi asked Chen Feng to invite Song Xingjin to come out to Shiyou Bar for a gathering.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Song Xingjin arrived at the bar door as promised.
In the morning, Chen Feng only gave him an address and asked him to arrive on time at 3 pm.
Song Xingjin frowned when he saw the address, but still didn't ask.
Chen Feng had just arrived, and when he saw Song Xingjin, he hugged him warmly, "Our President Song, long time no see."
After Chen Feng let him go, Song Xingjin slowly and methodically straightened his tie, which was slightly tilted.
When following Chen Feng in, Song Xingjin asked him expressionlessly, "Why did you invite me to the bar?"
It's not that he has a prejudice against bars, but he has better options. He can find a place with a better environment to discuss things.
Song Xingjin caught a glimpse of Chen Ran and became even more confused.
Chen Feng said, "This is the bar opened by He Chi, and he asked me to meet you today."
Song Xingjin said "Oh".
The income from running this bar is insignificant for their circle. It would be better to use this energy to develop new businesses.
But if it was He Chi, Song Xingjin would not be surprised.
He Chi has always been a casual and unrestrained person. He was unwilling to take over the family business and ran away to become a special police officer.
After being stopped by the old lady, he went to talk to his friends and refused to take over the family company.
Now Ken is back and has opened a small bar again.
Chen Feng hooked his arm around Song Xingjin's shoulder and said, "There are a lot of customers during the holidays, and He Chi even specially reserved a private room for us. We wouldn't have this privilege on weekdays."
Song Xingjin: “…”
Although he and He Chi had known each other since childhood, they had different ideas and could not get along, so they did not have a deep friendship. When they met each other, they would just nod to each other.
But their grandmothers had a very good relationship.
Song Xingjin said calmly, "You invited me here, not me. Do you understand?"
Chen Feng laughed him off, "I understand, I understand. We shamelessly begged you to come."
Song Xingjin ignored him.
When they arrived at the box, He Chi was already waiting for them inside.
Seeing Song Xingjin, He Chi said, "We have both tea and wine. Which one would you like to drink?"
What kind of tea do you want to drink now that you are at the bar?
But He Chi had already moved all the tea sets that He Jin had placed in the office.
After taking a quick glance, Song Xingjin said, "Have some tea."
Song Xingjin sat down opposite He Chi and asked bluntly, "Tell me, what's the matter with you asking me out?"
He Chi started to make tea. "Why are you in such a hurry? I have to let you have a cup of tea first."
Seeing the silver wedding ring on He Chi's hand, Song Xingjin remembered that Grandma He had told his grandmother that He Chi was married, and because of this, his grandmother suddenly became anxious.
These days, I wish he could stay at home every day to "meet guests", which is actually a blind date.
Song Xingjin said, "I forgot to say happy wedding to you."
He Chi smiled and said, "Thank you." After a pause, he said, "I'll invite you to have a drink at our wedding someday."
The corners of his lips curled slightly, "But, I have to ask you for this wedding gift in advance."
Song Xingjin uttered a curious "Oh," "I don't even know what I have that's so precious that you can ask for it yourself."
He Chi smiled without saying anything, and poured tea for Song Xingjin and Chen Feng, "Have some tea first."
Song Xingjin picked up the teacup and took a sip.
Jiang Yining and Zhang Qiao are currently in He Chi and He Jin's office.
After receiving He Chi's message, Jiang Yining said, "Qiaoqiao, He Chi asked you to come over."
When Zhang Qiao arrived at the box, He Chi and Chen Feng got up and left.
At this moment, only Zhang Qiao and Song Xingjin were in the box.
Zhang Qiao first apologized sincerely, "Mr. Song, I'm really sorry, but I have to see you."
Song Xingjin didn't embarrass her. He said, "Ms. Zhang, I refused to hand over the design of the new hotel to your company not because you accidentally spilled water on me."
"But I'm not satisfied with your company, and I never promised to give you this project."
Zhang Qiao understood, and she didn't insist. "Thank you, Mr. Song, for telling me this."
She hesitated for a moment, but still asked, "Mr. Song, could you please provide me with a certificate to prove that it wasn't my personal fault that prevented me from signing this project?"
Song Xingjin stared at her for a long while, frowned slightly, and wanted to refuse, but then he remembered that he had just agreed to the "wedding gift" that He Chi wanted.
As long as it wasn't excessive, he couldn't refuse anything Zhang Qiao said.
What Zhang Qiao mentioned now was just a matter of a word from him.
Song Xingjin nodded, "Okay."
Zhang Qiao breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "Thank you, Mr. Song. I won't bother you anymore."
After thinking about it, Song Xingjin felt that this "wedding gift" was too light. In order to show his sincerity, he stopped Zhang Qiao when she was about to open the door to go out.
"Ms. Zhang."
