Chapter 22 It's really hard to take a day off

The next morning, Qin Xu faced Li Yan's leave application with a blank expression on his face and did not speak a word.

Li Yan didn't care about his silent rejection at all and just pushed the application forward a little bit.

He had already taken annual leave and had worked overtime before, so it was totally fine for him to take another leave now.

Besides, there has been no important work recently, so having Secretary Yang around is completely enough.

Since I'm shopping with my brother, I need a whole day.

Li Nuo has been working part-time lately and has been severely sunburned. He needs to buy some repairing ointment.

He was thinking about tomorrow's schedule and pushed the application form forward again.

Qin Xu looked at the leave application that was about to hit him, and asked coldly: "What's the reason?"

"I did. Personal reasons."

“........”

"What personal reasons?"

"It's a personal matter, so I can't tell you."

You can't just write in the reason column: Go shopping with my brother.

Because Li Nuo has said many times that he wants to buy clothes for himself, and after what happened yesterday, I don’t want him to run around again, so I have to at least fulfill this wish.

Qin Xu rejected the application and declared his disagreement.

"So, what's wrong with that guy? I won't sign an application like this for you."

"............"

"There is only one reason why you would ask for leave. Li Nuo, are you sick again this time?"

"I'm not sick. This time it's purely my personal reason."

"Really? In fact, I have a new order to work on soon, so I'm afraid I won't have time to rest for you."

lie.

Li Yan frowned, he had already determined that there was no important work to do during this period.

However, the person in front of me is my direct supervisor, and I cannot apply for leave without his signature.

"Tell me, what happened to him?"

"I told you, it's not about being sick."

"What on earth is that?"

Li Yan secretly complained, why didn't he realize before that Qin Xu was such a person who liked to dig into things to get to the bottom of things, so annoying.

Li Yan is a person who doesn't like to tell lies, but if you force him to tell lies, he will definitely tell them.

Qin Xu, who had been with him for a year, understood this.

"If I tell you, will you give me leave?"

"Tell me about it."

"It's nothing, actually..."

After listening to his story, Qin Xu's face was full of absurdity, "That guy, did such a bold thing?"

He knew that the former Li Nuo was an absolutely self-centered and hedonistic person. It was impossible for him to work part-time, let alone do such "agent" behavior.

"Yeah, it really scared me, so, in order to comfort him, and also to comfort myself, I went shopping with him."

Qin Xu put his hand on the table to his chin, lowered his head and pondered for a while. Would amnesia bring such a big change? It was unbelievable.

This is just so funny.

He began to understand what Mo Chuan said.

"So, give me leave quickly."

".......Change it to field work, I'll go too."

Li Yan paused, "What?"

"I said I'll go too. It just so happens that I need to buy some clothes too."

Li Yan's eyes twitched. What the hell are you buying clothes for? You rich people can just pick out the styles you like. Why do you need to go shopping?

Besides, when I go with Li Nuo tomorrow, we don’t plan to go to those luxury stores.

Seeing that he didn't respond, Qin Xu directly used his ultimate weapon.

"If not, I won't approve your leave."

Li Yan let out a breath, resisted the urge to punch him in the face, and rewrote the application form with an expressionless face.

After handing the watch over, he still frowned and asked the question in his heart, "Director, don't you... dislike my brother? It was so obvious before."

Is Qin Xu someone who does things for fun? He's not Mo Chuan.

“I don’t like it now.”

"Really..."

Li Yan's eyes narrowed suddenly, not because of disgust, but because of dislike.

If it were someone else, they would ask what the difference is, but this is Qin Xu. When he said this, there was already an emotional increment.

Alarm bells were ringing wildly in Li Yan's mind.

This answer only explains one thing.

He doesn't like Qin Xu, but he is very interested.

“This guy is the same.”

Li Yan gritted his teeth. One Mo Chuan was enough, and here comes Qin Xu.

I always have a bad feeling, like something rare is getting away from me.

But now accompanying Li Nuo shopping takes priority. In short, I must say hello to him when I get back and stay away from Qin Xu.

"By the way, do you know the name of that company?"

"?"

"It's the one that Lino had the audacity to go to."

"Oh, this one, I think I have a business card that the manager gave to my brother."

He was afraid that Li Nuo would be involved again, so he took it over.

"Give it to me."

Li Yan took out a business card from his briefcase and handed it over.

"I'll check this company to make sure nothing happens."

Li Yan nodded. Qin Xu was still trustworthy.

.........

"So, Director Qin will also be going with us tomorrow. Brother, is that okay with you?"

Li Yan looked at him carefully. Judging from his previous performance, Li Nuo was very afraid of Qin Xu.

Linuo was silent for a while. Could he say it was related? He still wanted to stay away from the person who killed "him" in the novel.

However, looking at Li Yan's expression, I knew that he must be in some difficulty. In the end, he just shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter. Since he has the time, let him be."

It should be fine now. I haven't provoked him. Could Qin Xu really kill me in public?

"Uh - actually, we need to go to the company tomorrow to take care of some things before we can set off, because the reason we're using is field work..." Li Yan looked embarrassed. After all, it sounded strange to go out shopping and have to set off from the company.

Linuo frowned suddenly.

"But there's no need for you to go so early, um, around ten o'clock, we will have dealt with everything and we can set off." Li Yan quickly added, cursing Qin Xu thousands of times in his heart.

It was obvious that he had something to take care of in the morning, but he made me and my brother wait for him.

"Okay, I understand."

Linuo nodded reluctantly.

........

At ten o'clock in the morning, Li Nuo arrived at the company as agreed.

"Wow, what a magnificent building," he looked up at the commercial building, which was exquisitely designed and different from other cookie-cutter companies. "This is where the main story takes place."

"Could it be that all of them belong to Qin Xu? Is that the whole building?" Li Nuo was amazed, recalling the part mentioned in the novel, "It seems to be called [Yue Sen] Building."

Come to think of it, I also need to thank Gu Jian for sending me to the hospital last time, Li Nuo thought to himself.

At that time in the restaurant, it was Qin Xu who stopped me from grabbing me any further, and later accompanied me to the hospital. Come to think of it, he also paid for the medical expenses for the surgery. When I think about it this way, I really owe him a lot of favors, and I should say thank you both emotionally and logically.

Although I don't want to have anything to do with him anymore because I'm scared, I can still thank him.

The summer sun is a bit oppressive, and the temperature is even higher due to the urban heat island effect in this park.

Li Nuo put his hand on his forehead and whispered, "It's so hot, hasn't it come yet? I should have worn a hat before I went out."

Li Nuo glanced around and saw no place to escape the heat.

Fortunately, after a while, Li Yan ran out of the building. He saw Li Nuo and hurried over.

"Brother, come in quickly and wait."

"Yeah, that's not the way to sunbathe."

Li Nuo followed suit and entered the building.

It's working hours now. There is no office on the first floor, only the front desk, looking at this place curiously.

Soon, Qin Xu appeared.

The front desk staff quickly put away their curious eyes and greeted them.

But Qin Xu ignored them and walked straight towards them.

"Hello." Li Nuo nodded slightly at him. He had just prepared himself mentally and was not so scared now.

Qin Xu just raised his eyebrows slightly and looked Li Nuo up and down.

Because Li Nuo had been working part-time outdoors in the past few days, he didn't get tanned, but his exposed skin was a little red. And because he had just been under the scorching sun, his originally pale face had a hint of redness.

The moist eyes looked at him like a little deer, but there was no fear in them anymore.

"It looks like everything is alright."

"?"

Qin Xu had no intention of explaining. He turned around, looked at Li Yan, and threw the car keys to him.

Li Yan understood, "Brother, I'm going to get the car, you guys wait here for a while."

"Hmm? Why don't we go together?"

"You have to take the elevator and go underground. The air conditioning in the car is not working properly when you first drive out. You can just wait here. The air conditioning is still on."

Li Yan waved his hand and walked towards the elevator on the other side.

Li Nuo followed his back with his eyes until the elevator door closed.

There were only two people left, standing in the corner of the hall. Li Nuo felt a little awkward, the atmosphere was heavy, so he had to stand straight and look outside.

Qin Xu stood at some distance from him, still wearing a black suit, exuding an untouchable, superior aura.

Li Nuo glanced at it, hesitating about something.

Qin Xu seemed to be staring into the distance, not looking here at all.

Li Nuo hesitated for a while, but finally made up his mind and walked to Qin Xu's side.

Stop a few steps away.

"That..."

“........”

"Thank you for the restaurant and the trip to the hospital."

"What?"

Qin Xu's deep voice gave Li Nuo goosebumps again. He could never forget that "he" died at the hands of this man.

He raised his eyes carefully and met Qin Xu's gaze. Resisting the urge to leave, Li Nuo took a deep breath.

Qin Xu's brows wrinkled slightly. He still didn't know why Li Nuo was so afraid of him. Mo Chuan said it was because of his eyes and aura, but he always felt that there was more than just that reason.

Is it just because the previous subconsciousness still remains in the brain after amnesia?

However, I just hated and ignored Li Nuo before, and didn't take any substantial action.

"Uh - it's about the allergy I had in the restaurant before. You sent me to the hospital. Thank you very much." Li Nuo thanked him sincerely. He was not the kind of person who could not save face.

As a result, Qin Xu didn't react at all.

Li Nuo had no choice but to stop talking and keep silent.
