Chapter 19 I'll serve you tonight (Xie Mei has such a good alcohol tolerance, is...
The moment Qi Yu took the phone from Feng Ji, his face was full of helplessness.
He glanced at the two voice messages flashing on the screen, and didn't want to offend his boss, so he could only agree with what Feng Ji said.
Qi Yu: "Sorry, Nanxing, I'll arrange a single room for you. It won't be awkward after you spend more time with your colleagues."
The note column above flickered for a while before Liang Nanxing replied: [Okay, senior, sorry to bother you and Mr. Feng.]
Qi Yu sighed lightly, replied a few more words, and then turned to look at the culprit.
The culprit started by saying, “I’m sorry.”
He added: "If it were you who replied, you wouldn't agree either."
Qi Yu would indeed not agree. He had a strong sense of boundaries. Even when he and Feng Ji lived together during team building activities in the past, they both lived in a suite. They lived in the same area without disturbing each other and each had their own private space.
Although the sense of boundary between him and Feng Ji was completely broken by the underwear-changing incident recently, it was not the same for Liang Nanxing.
But that being said,
Seeing that Qi Yu remained silent, the culprit said again: "I'm sorry."
"If you don't like it, I won't do it next time."
After apologizing twice in a row, the driver choked on his saliva and started coughing.
Hearing those ambiguous words, Qi Yu felt a little embarrassed. He said it was okay, and when he turned his head to look out the window, he couldn't help muttering in his heart.
Seeing that he didn't say anything when he apologized for the second time, did you think he was angry?
But this apology didn't sound like an apology at all. Instead, it seemed like they were trying to coax him out of fear of making him angry.
…
…
The much-anticipated team-building event soon came to the secretariat's turn. Qi Yu arranged everything for the team-building during this period. On Monday afternoon, the bus carrying a group of people set off.
Nestled at the junction of Beijing's suburbs and the city, the valley is a newly developed area, permeated with a fresh, new atmosphere. The villas nestle against the hillside, offering fresh air and a wide array of holiday options, making it a perfect place for a getaway with friends.
The rooms in the secretariat are a whole row of connected townhouses, which are convenient for visiting and communicating. The only single room was given to Liang Nanxing.
Qi Yu claimed that he was taking care of the newcomer, and other colleagues had no objection, but why this single room fell to Liang Nanxing, probably only the three of them knew.
And just as Feng Ji said in his voice, Qi Yu packed his luggage and moved in with Feng Ji.
The villa selected for the boss has the best view. Looking down from the balcony, you can see the thin clouds swirling in the mountains and the ancient buildings stacked at the foot of the mountain.
The resort valley provides a shuttle service with a small white car. You can go down to the foot of the mountain to see the ancient buildings, or go up to the top of the mountain to soak in the hot springs. All you have to do is call the bell.
Qi Yu stood on the balcony for a while before returning to his room and opening his suitcase.
There was not much team-building activity on the first day. In the afternoon, colleagues were free to do whatever they wanted, whether they wanted to see the scenery or take a hot spring bath. In the evening, Qi Yu had booked a fireside tea-making and barbecue activity, which was also a point mentioned by everyone during the vote.
A group of greedy girls came here for the famous barbecue and wine in the holiday valley.
When he packed up his things and went out, Feng Ji was already sitting in the living room of the suite waiting for him.
At this moment, Qi Yu's cell phone rang. He looked down and saw that it was a message from Liang Nanxing.
I guess I’m not very familiar with my colleagues, so my first reaction after putting my things away was to look for him.
Judging from the content of the message, Liang Nanxing wanted to invite him to take a hot spring bath.
He was just thinking about how to respond when he felt the back of his neck being gently pinched.
When he looked up, he saw Feng Ji looking at him leisurely.
Qi Yu: "Boss Feng?"
Feng Ji raised his chin and said, "The air on the mountainside is nice. Come with me for a walk."
"Okay." Qi Yu hesitated for a moment before agreeing, and then replied apologetically to Liang Nanxing, "Let's go to the hot springs next time. I'm taking a walk with Mr. Feng."
Liang Nanxing fell silent after receiving the message. Just as he put down his phone, Liu Yu came over curiously, "How's it going? Is Special Assistant Qi coming over?"
Liang Nanxing shook his head, "He wants to take a walk with President Feng."
"I guess so." Liu Yu was not surprised at all. "Boss Feng and Special Assistant Qi are conjoined twins."
Conjoined twins?
Liang Nanxing's eyelids twitched, and he pressed on, "Are Special Assistant Qi and President Feng... so close?"
"Of course, President Feng values Special Assistant Qi the most." Liu Yu said with a smile, "They even live on the same floor as each other. But only our secretarial staff know this, so don't tell anyone else."
Liang Nanxing nodded hesitantly, but his heart was far from as calm as he appeared on the surface.
Conjoined twins, sharing the same office, going up and down the stairs, and the look Feng Ji gave Qi Yu when he looked at her...
No way… ?
***
Lunch was late, and the evening tea-making party around the fire was scheduled for around seven o'clock.
It was not dark at this time, but the barbecue area was already lit up with row lights. The scenery with the distant mountains, green grass and cool breeze was particularly pleasant.
For the entire afternoon, Feng Ji walked without stopping, as if he was afraid that Qi Yu would be idle. He climbed up and down the winding stone steps one after another, and Qi Yu was so tired that he felt dizzy.
Although I have been running at night recently, climbing stairs is still more tiring than running.
After crawling to the back, Qi Yu couldn't help but wonder if Feng Ji had some deep hatred against him and wanted to tire him to death.
The two were the last to arrive at the tent at the barbecue site.
Seeing them coming, Liu Yu quickly raised his hand and greeted them, "Boss Feng, Special Assistant Qi, you're finally here. I've reserved two seats for you. Come and sit down!"
When Qi Yu approached, Liu Yu couldn't help but exclaim, "Assistant Qi, why do you look so tired?"
There was a layer of mist under my glasses due to the heat.
Qi Yu sat down on the moon chair, his eyes dazed, and said, "I was just taking a walk."
Liu Yu was surprised. "Did you and Mr. Feng walk for the entire afternoon?"
Qi Yu nodded weakly.
Liu Yu clicked her tongue, glanced at Feng Ji, who was sitting next to Qi Yu, and lowered her voice half-jokingly, "Originally, Xiao Liang wanted to invite you to join us for the hot spring bath, but you ended up taking a whole afternoon just walking around. Xiao Liang didn't even have a chance. Mr. Feng is too clingy."
Her words reminded Qi Yu of the time before the team building when Feng Ji rejected Liang Nanxing's application to share a room with him.
Although the company finally paid for Liang Nanxing to book a single room, Qi Yu could feel that Feng Ji seemed... not to like Liang Nanxing very much.
As for the specific reason why he was disliked, Qi Yu thought it was probably because of him.
There have been too many variables during this period, and the relationship between him and Feng Ji seems to be becoming more and more ambiguous.
Qi Yu pursed her lips, her pupils moved slightly under her glasses, and she looked at the man next to her.
How does Mr. Feng view him now?
With such a reaction, do you still treat him as an ordinary assistant?
…
As time went by, it was completely dark. The butler of the resort valley didn't let them wait too long. After confirming that everyone was present, the person in charge of the barbecue area came over with plates of ingredients.
There are a wide variety of meat and vegetarian skewers, and even the seasonings are laid out in a row.
Those who like to cook by themselves can sit at a table, and those who just want to eat without moving will have someone to help them grill.
Qi Yu was the type who just wanted to eat, so he sat there without moving. Since he didn't leave, Feng Ji naturally didn't move either.
With Feng Ji around, the rest of those who didn't want to cook themselves didn't dare to stay and eat with the boss, and they all ran away.
Liang Nanxing glanced at the two people who were still conjoined, hesitated for a moment, and finally sat down in the group that was doing the barbecue on their own.
Feng's promotion wasn't just based on work ability; it also took into account the opinions of colleagues and fostered good relationships with them, which was always beneficial. As for Qi Yu, given the nature of his work, there would be plenty of time to spend with him after he officially joined.
Currently, only Qi Yu and Feng Ji are left in the group waiting to eat.
Qi Yu looked at the group of people who were busily barbecuing meat over there, and suddenly had the illusion that he was working outdoors.
When they were in the company, he and Feng Ji shared the president's office. Now when they were out for team building, he and Feng Ji still sat next to each other.
Seeing him looking over there, as if he wanted to leave but didn't dare, Feng Ji raised his eyebrows and asked, "Do you want to join them? Then go, I'll go with you."
Qi Yu lifted his slightly aching leg, kicked the small stone in front of his foot, and spoke softly, "Boss Feng, if you go, they should find a way to switch groups."
Feng Ji looked him up and down, "Then go by yourself. It's okay for me to stay here alone."
"..." Taking advantage of the dim light, Qi Yu secretly curled his lips, "Forget it, Mr. Feng, I don't have the energy to do it myself now."
More importantly, if he really went, it would be too pitiful for Feng Ji to be left here alone.
Although he was very tired this afternoon, he was not so petty as to deliberately isolate his boss.
"Are you tired from your afternoon walk?" Feng Ji asked.
It turns out you also know that you are very tired.
Qi Yu complained in his heart, but replied, "Not bad."
Who dares to say they are tired when climbing a mountain with their boss?
"It seems you are really tired." The man who was originally sitting on the chair suddenly stood up and walked to the barbecue grill surrounded by heat.
"Then as compensation, let me serve you tonight."
?
Qi Yu: “?”
Feng Ji didn't look back and added slowly, "I mean, I'll grill some meat for you."
Qi Yu: “.”
Just grill meat, and don't talk about serving me. At first glance, it sounds like someone has been asked to serve me in bed.
…
Feng Ji took the barbecue master's seat. Seeing that he wanted to barbecue by himself, the barbecue master did not force him. He taught Feng Ji the barbecue techniques and then left the tools behind and went back.
As the night deepened, the entire barbecue area was soon filled with smoke.
As the most famous barbecue project in the holiday valley, Qi Yu guessed that the skewers here must be marinated with some secret sauce, and they are indeed better than those elsewhere.
In addition, the Fengji was roasted to just the right degree, and Qi Yu enjoyed the meal very much.
On the other side, the atmosphere in the do-it-yourself group was very lively. They ordered two large jars of the local specialty wine, which was said to be made using ancient craftsmanship. The jars for the wine were also custom-made and were well received among the employees.
Qi Yu's alcohol tolerance did not allow him to participate in such an activity, so he refused and just drank the juice obediently.
Just after finishing a skewer of grilled potato chips, Feng Ji, who was standing in the smoke, handed over a handful of beef skewers, and the plate in front of Qi Yu was instantly full.
The barbecue uses the most primitive charcoal grilling. Although the smoky flavor is classic, the barbecuer feels very hot.
Looking at Feng Ji who was coughing from time to time due to the smoke, Qi Yu's tiredness from his afternoon walk had long since disappeared.
"Boss Feng," he called out, "let me grill it."
Feng Ji didn't look back, "Didn't we agree that I would serve you tonight?"
“…” Qi Yu suddenly didn’t want to talk anymore.
The two groups weren't far apart. Liu Yu and Liang Nanxing clinked their glasses, enjoying their wine. Seeing this, they sighed in a low voice, "Actually, we in the secretariat have all been secretly paying our respects to President Feng and Special Assistant Qi."
Liang Nanxing was stunned. Liu Yu smiled secretly and continued, "Let's not talk about anything else. Just look at what President Feng is doing. A CEO grilling skewers for his special assistant. It would be rude not to kowtow, right?"
Liang Nanxing looked at Qi Yu who was eating mouthful after mouthful of delicious food and couldn't help but said, "I can bake it too."
It was too noisy around, so Liu Yu couldn't hear clearly. "What?"
Liang Nanxing: "..."
Liang Nanxing: "I don't think it's very good."
Liu Yu laughed heartily, "You and those straight guys in our company are saying the same thing!"
Liang Nanxing couldn't laugh at all. He watched Qi Yu stand up and stand next to Feng Ji. The two of them exchanged a few words, one passing the skewers while the other grilled the barbecue. There was a familiar and enviable tacit understanding between their movements.
The more he looked, the more depressed he became. He grabbed the wine glass, tilted his head back and drank the whole thing in one gulp.
This action scared the colleagues around him.
Although the wine here is delicious, it is also quite strong. People only dare to take small sips with the barbecue. It is really too strange for someone like Liang Nanxing to drink it in one gulp.
Liu Yu was the closest and couldn't help but raise her voice, "Xiao Liang, this wine is very strong, don't drink so much!"
The high-pitched voice instantly attracted the attention of Qi Yu, who was brushing oil on the grilled skewers. He looked up and saw several colleagues surrounding Liang Nanxing and talking in a buzzing voice.
"Xiao Liang, you are so fierce? Just drink it in one gulp!"
"Won't you feel dizzy after drinking this? Are you feeling lightheaded? Do you want some milk to calm you down?"
"I feel a little high after drinking just a little bit. Xiao Liang, you have a strong stomach."
Liang Nanxing then realized that his behavior was too outrageous and attracted attention. He quickly put on a smile and waved his hand, "I'm not dizzy, don't worry about me. To be frank, I can drink this much but I shouldn't get drunk."
Liu Yu gave a thumbs-up and said, "You're awesome. But even if you can hold your liquor well, you need to eat more to keep your stomach from getting a stomachache later. Bring a few more skewers of beef to Xiao Liang!"
Liang Nanxing: "Okay, thank you Sister Yu."
Qi Yu witnessed the whole process of this little episode. He stopped passing the skewers for a long time and looked in the direction of Liang Nanxing, not knowing what he was thinking.
Feng Ji followed his gaze and the corners of his lips involuntarily twitched downwards.
"Qi Yu, come back to your senses."
Qi Yu was stunned, as if waking up from a dream, and quickly handed the skewers to the man.
He couldn't help being surprised as he handed it to him. He remembered that Liang Nanxing couldn't drink like him when he was in college. He only drank Wanglaoji every time he attended a celebration banquet. How come he could drink so well now?
Is there any trick?
