Chapter 37
Chi Tingsi left for a meeting.
The person he was most familiar with and relied on left. Lin Qingmian felt a little embarrassed and didn't know what to do, so he suggested walking around the company.
It wasn't an excessive request, so Chi Qi naturally had no objection.
So, Secretary Cen dutifully took the two of them around the company.
At the beginning, Chi Qi was very dignified and walked around the company with his head held high, trying to leave a good impression on his sister-in-law.
After walking around the company for a while, Chi Qi began to pant and couldn't help asking, "Secretary Cen, where is my brother's office? I need to rest."
I really can't walk anymore.
There was no way out, Chi Qi had to admit that he was just a weak little boy.
Even at this time, he still did not forget to cue Chi Tingsi, praising him and improving his favorability, "Sister-in-law, please rest assured. Big brother is different from me. He has good physical strength."
Lin Qingmian pursed her lips, not knowing what scenes she was thinking of. Her face felt a little hot. Her long and curled eyelashes trembled, and she hummed softly, indicating her agreement.
Chi Qi felt that his elder brother could still get what he wanted. At least judging from Lin Qingmian's attitude today, not only was he not annoying, but he also had a high degree of favorability towards him.
Secretary Cen led the way and took the two to Chi Tingsi's office.
Chi Qi took the opportunity to say a few nice words to him, and he was really worried about his elder brother's feelings.
Chi Tingsi's office is decorated simply and elegantly. The sunlight shines through the panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows and softly falls on the floor, forming a mottled light and shadow.
The documents and files on the desk were neatly arranged, and there were two potted green plants in the corner.
Chi Qi was full of praise and discovered a new shining point, "Sister-in-law, look, my brother is really homely. He has raised a fortune tree that is lush and flourishing."
Lin Qingmian, "..."
The younger brother of the person he was marrying by arrangement was too familiar and he couldn't respond to a word.
Chi Qi didn't care whether Lin Qingmian responded or not. He flopped onto the sofa like a stranded fish. He took out his cell phone and saw that his WeChat step count was far ahead, already in first place, and by a huge margin.
Because his friends all have the same characteristic as him: laziness.
A carefully selected little penguin background image occupies the cover. The little penguin in the image is standing on an ice block, with two lines of text next to it: My life is like walking on thin ice, when will I be able to reach the other side?
It’s not easy to get the first place, shouldn’t I take a screenshot to show off?
At the bottom of the list, [An Xun]: 18.
After the show-off personnel were selected, Chi Qi happily took screenshots, selected the pictures and sent them.
[Chi Qi]: Hehehe (picture.jpg)
An Xun replied very quickly.
[An Xun]: What’s wrong? Are you being hunted and on the run?
[Chi Qi]: …
Since they were not on the same page, Chi Qi angrily exited the software.
"Cousin, are you there?"
With a creak, the door was pushed open.
A golden color flashed before Chi Qi's eyes, and then a young man dressed in trendy brand clothes with many jingling accessories hung on his clothes walked in.
The young man was Chi Qi's cousin Chi Wanglian, also his classmate, only a few months older than him. The two of them had a lot of contact in daily life and had a relatively familiar relationship.
Chi Wanglian is a sunny and cheerful person, a truly happy puppy. After walking out of the college entrance examination room, he couldn't wait to dye his hair into arrogant blonde hair.
Seeing Chi Qi lying there, he asked in surprise, "Xiao Qi, why are you here too?" He turned around and glanced at Lin Qingmian, then asked, "Who is this?"
Chi Qi introduced him, "My sister-in-law."
"Oh, hello, cousin~"
As the two were talking, the office door was pushed open again. Chi Tingsi came back from the meeting, followed by Secretary Cen.
Chi Wanglian stepped forward and said, "Cousin, can you help me contact Cousin Lu?"
As soon as he opened his mouth, Secretary Cen was stunned, and a tiny crack appeared on his perfect expression.
No one's little movements could escape Chi Qi's discerning eyes. Even though they recovered quickly, they were still discovered by him.
[Ah!] I smelled something wrong! 】
Chi Tingsi loosened his collar and sat down tiredly, "Can't you contact her yourself?"
Chi Wanglian said aggrievedly: "She blocked me, I dare not appear in front of her."
Maybe because he was beaten too many times when he was a child, his legs became weak when he saw Chi Sulu now, let alone making any requests. He could only do it tactfully through a third party.
Chi Tingsi asked, "What do you want to see her for?"
Chi Wanglian smiled flatteringly, "I fell in love with a broadcaster named Qian Yu. I go to her broadcast room regularly every day. She has a sweet voice and is beautiful. She is also very good at gaming. She often teams up with me..."
[Oh my God! ! ! As expected of an all-round secretary, she can even fake her voice. 】
The sudden sound of his inner voice distracted Chi Tingsi's attention. He rubbed his brows wearily and said, "Speak to the point."
"She hasn't been on the air recently, and she doesn't reply to messages. I'm a little worried that something bad has happened to her. Can you help me ask Cousin Lu?"
Chi Tingsi asked a soul-piercing question, "You are so anxious, are you in an online relationship with her?"
“No…no.”
The voice became increasingly quiet and less convincing.
Eighteen years old is the age when young people begin to fall in love.
Chi Qi lay on his side, pretending to play with his phone, but in fact he was secretly eating melon happily.
[Let me see... Secretary Cen is fine, except that his cell phone, which he used to log into his secondary account, was broken. He never got it repaired, and he has been busy with work lately, so he decided to stop surfing the Internet. 】
What?
This voice really confused Chi Tingsi. Combining it with the context, it is not difficult to infer that the person Chi Wanglian wanted to find was Secretary Cen.
How could two people who have nothing in common get together?
The following voice also confirmed his guess.
[You must be sweating profusely, Secretary Cen, after flirting with your boss's cousin in women's clothing! 】
Chi Tingsi was caught off guard and almost couldn't hold back his expression. He lowered his head and said calmly, "She doesn't disclose the privacy of the company's artists."
Chi Wanglian insisted, "I just want to know if she has any problems. You don't need to tell me her privacy."
It was not easy to continue recommending, so Chi Tingsi could only agree first, "I'll ask her later."
"Thank you, cousin." Having gotten the desired result, Chi Wanglian turned around with satisfaction. When his peripheral vision caught sight of Secretary Cen beside him, he couldn't help but take two steps in that direction, his eyes fixed on her. "Cousin, who is this?"
"My secretary, Secretary Cen."
Chi Wanglian said shyly, "Oh, hello, Secretary Cen, can I ask you a question?"
Secretary Cen tried to stay calm, "Ask."
Being exposed in public is an embarrassment that no one wants to face, not even the usually calm and composed Secretary Cen. His breathing became heavier.
Chi Wanglian's eyes lit up, and he held his face in his hands, "Do you have a sister?"
"……?"
Secretary Cen shook his head and breathed a sigh of relief, "Unfortunately, I only have one brother."
Chi Wang quickly said, "What a coincidence, Secretary Cen, I also... have a cousin."
My cousin Chi Qi, who was standing next to me, asked, "?"
What’s the coincidence? Why didn’t you tell me? What a coincidence, Secretary Cen, I’m a boy too. 】
Chi Wanglian opened WeChat and said, "Secretary Cen, it's fate that we meet. Let's add each other's contact information."
Chi Qi opened his mouth into an O shape in surprise.
[…I don’t know what to say for a moment.] 】
Secretary Cen obviously did not expect this development, and after some hesitation, he gave him his work number.
In the end, Chi Wanglian left happily.
After resting for a while, the agreed time arrived and several people got up and went to the conference room to meet the directors. On the way there, Chi Qi hid his thoughts and began to make important suggestions.
"You can't do this. How can you look like a newlywed couple? It's too fake. People will think your relationship is not good. Besides, those directors are old foxes. They are better at judging people than others."
Chi Tingsi humbly asked, "What should I do then?"
Chi Qi circled around the two of them, acting like a matchmaker, and muttered to them, "Brother, give your sister-in-law a kiss, so it can increase credibility."
He unbuttoned his collar and pointed out the exact spot to the two of them, "Right here, make it more obvious so everyone can see it at a glance."
[I am really worried about my elder brother's love. When we hold the wedding again, I want to sit at the head table! 】
Lin Qingmian was wearing a low-necked shirt, revealing her slender neck and beautiful collarbone, and her fair skin could be seen.
Chi Tingsi's eyes darkened and he asked in a hoarse voice, "Is it okay?"
Lin Qingmian blushed and nodded.
Chi Qi couldn't wait to push the two of them into the empty room next to him, "Hurry up, hurry up." He then considerately closed the door and stood guard outside.
【strangeness? Why do I feel so nervous waiting for my newborn baby outside the delivery room? 】
He shook his head and threw away the messy thoughts.
A few minutes later, the two walked out one after the other, and Chi Qi looked at the kiss mark with a fiery gaze.
[I can’t believe it, but big brother’s strawberry cultivation technology is pretty good. 】
Lin Qingmian was shy and subconsciously wanted to pull up her collar, but Chi Qi stopped her, "Sister-in-law, you can't do that. You can't stop me. You can't stop me."
"I won't block it." Lin Qingmian said in a low voice.
When he arrived at the meeting room, Chi Qi instantly entered battle mode and greeted the director in the middle.
"Hello, Grandpa Chen. I haven't seen Brother Chen Mo for a long time. He asked me to go to an art exhibition with him before. I don't know if he was too busy with work and forgot. When you go back and see him, please remind him for me."
Chen Mo is the grandson that Director Chen took for a paternity test.
Family disgrace should not be made public, let alone such an embarrassing scandal?
Director Chen has always been arrogant and would not tolerate any disrespectful words towards him, so he kept the news strictly secret. Therefore, outsiders did not know that Director Chen had been cuckolded for decades.
He could hide it from others, but not from himself. The thorn in his heart hurts every moment.
Director Chen had no place to vent his anger, and Chi Qi kept hitting his sore spots, with each word more infuriating and heartbreaking than the last.
The speaker has intention, and the listener has even more intention.
After a few rounds, Director Chen left with a glare on his face. He had to leave. If he stayed any longer, he would have to take a bottle of quick-acting heart-clearing pills to recover.
Other directors:?
Didn’t we agree that you would take the lead and make things difficult together? Why did you leave first?
The difficult one left, and the remaining ones were vulnerable.
Chi Qi was like a pea shooter, firing a barrage of shots at several directors, engaging in a debate with a group of scholars. After sending everyone away, he slumped on the sofa, his energy seemed to be completely exhausted, and he was starving.
[Who says those who stand in the light are heroes~]
Chi Qi hid his merits and fame, and said weakly: "Brother, you and sister-in-law can go on a date, it's okay for me to be alone."
[Brother, for you, I turned into a werewolf~ For you, I became crazy~ For you, I put on a thick disguise~ For you, I changed my heart~]
Chi Tingsi: “…”
Lin Qingmian disagreed, "How can that be possible?"
Chi Tingsi had the same idea. He wanted to be alone with Lin Qingmian, but he would not ignore his own brother.
It was almost eleven o'clock, and it was too late to book a restaurant. Chi Tingsi suggested, "Let's go to the staff cafeteria to eat."
Lin Qingsi and Chi Qi had no objection.
*
As one of the largest companies in the industry, Yuanchong Group offers a full range of delicious dishes, unlimited supply of fruits, and free drinks to internal employees.
It was lunchtime and there were already several long queues in the restaurant.
After Chi Tingsi led the two of them in, they attracted the attention of nearby employees.
When the employees waiting in line saw the president coming, they all fell silent, sped up their meal orders, and then simultaneously avoided the seats chosen by the three people.
Who can eat when facing the boss’s face up close?
When everyone is avoiding it, there is only one person who goes against the current, and therefore stands out.
The man walked up to Lin Qingmian and asked excitedly, "Senior, do you still remember me?"
Chi Qi joined in the fun and looked up while eating a chicken leg.
[Oh my, Shura Field!] 】
Lin Qingmian had some impression of him. He frowned and thought for a moment, "Are you from the xx-level Big Data Academy?"
The junior student touched the back of his head, looking shy as if he had just fallen in love, "Yes! Senior, you have a really good memory. You actually still remember me!"
Lin Qingmian curled the corners of his lips, "Don't you remember me too?"
[Oh wow, the way my junior looks at my sister-in-law is not innocent at all. Big brother, we are in danger! 】
Chi Qi picked up several dishes for his brother, including cold-mixed bitter melon, stir-fried water spinach, and garlic lettuce. The main feature was the high-quality dietary fiber, which was healthy for reducing internal heat.
Chi Tingsi looked at the green vegetables piled up like a mountain in the bowl, and his face turned ugly.
“…”
He gritted his teeth and said, "When I have a wedding in the future, you and the dog will sit at the same table."
Chi Qi: “???”
What did I do to make you do this to me?
