Chapter 34 Chapter 34 I will never envy others again...
"Why are you looking at me?" Xu Qinghu pushed the celery aside from the beef. "Once you've checked, send the information to my email."
Sister Cao's voice dropped unconsciously. "Chengxin Group is a listed company. Even if we find their financial statements, what can we do?"
She looked at Xu Qinghu worriedly, not thinking that their small entertainment company could shake such a behemoth.
Trying to hit a rock with an egg will not only fail to hurt the other party, but will also make enemies for yourself.
Xu Qinghu glanced at her and said, "Just check it out if I tell you to. Don't overthink it, or you'll go bald."
Sister Cao: “…”
"Also," Xu Qinghu paused, "check Du Yanting's background as well."
Sister Cao was completely convinced. "You're just relying on the fact that the company only revolves around you now."
Xu Qinghu remained calm, "Am I not also a shareholder?"
Sister Cao thought of the money Xu Qinghu had given her when they first started the company, and her expression softened slightly. "Okay, okay, okay? Can't I check it?"
Although she didn't know where Xu Qinghu got so much savings from since he had just graduated, she knew that Xu Qinghu would not do anything unnecessary.
After lunch, Xu Qinghu had to attend a physical education class, and he was so busy that it was already evening.
After the teacher left, she stood in front of the company's floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the hustle and bustle of traffic below. Although it was just a small office, when looking down, she could see the neon lights of the city. The overly bright lights enveloped everything in endless luxury.
This is one of the most prosperous cities in Xia Country. How many people rack their brains and work day and night just to have a place here.
Before going to college, Xu Qinghu had no idea what kind of life she would live in the future. All she could see was the bustling hustle and bustle of the small county town, and people passing by on the street were living ordinary and ordinary lives.
Day after day, no change.
At that time, she looked at her classmates with envy at their seventy-yuan Chinese dictionaries. She was the only one in the class who couldn't afford them, and she was the only one wearing worn-out sneakers with the glue peeling off many times. People laughed at her behind her back, saying that she had never been to a parent-teacher conference, and that she was hanging out with hooligans from outside the school...
At that time, she was thinking that she didn't want to live an ordinary life, didn't want to never be able to afford that dictionary, and didn't want to wear a pair of shoes for three years or even longer.
She wants to work hard to climb up, make a lot of money, stand in a high place, and get everything she wants.
She wants to get and grasp everything she has ever thought about or not thought about.
She should never, ever envy anyone again.
"What are you thinking about?" Sister Cao knocked on the door and looked at her slender back. "Do you want me to drive you home?"
Xu Qinghu turned around and said, "I'll take the subway."
She picked up the bag on the chair and walked downstairs.
Looking at her beautiful profile, Sister Cao whispered, "I've already asked someone to look up the information you requested. It'll probably take several days."
"Don't worry," Xu Qinghu looked towards the nearby subway entrance and waved to Sister Cao, "I'll go back first."
Looking at her slender and graceful back, Sister Cao once again sighed that she had good vision and signed Xu Qinghu before other scouts showed up.
In the cabin, Wen Ruoxi was preparing food in the kitchen. Thinking of what Xu Qinghu said in the morning about wanting to eat fried shrimp with broccoli, she opened the refrigerator and looked around, but there was no shrimp or broccoli.
She went back to the living room to get her cell phone, ready to call He Shengnian to bring it back, but suddenly she heard the sound of an engine outside.
Wen Ruoxi looked back and saw that it was He Shengnian's car.
She sighed inwardly, wondering if He Shengnian had checked the refrigerator before going to work, and whether he remembered the dishes Xu Qinghu wanted to eat.
Thinking of Xu Qinghu's irresistibly beautiful face, Wen Ruoxi walked forward and opened the door, thinking that if He Shengnian didn't buy the ingredients, she would go there again.
He Shengnian came in carrying a shopping bag. He looked at Wen Ruoxi standing at the door and asked with a puzzled look on his face, "What's wrong?"
Wen Ruoxi was about to speak when she suddenly noticed the fresh shrimps on the top of the shopping bag and stopped.
"It's okay," she shook her head. "I've almost prepared all the necessary side dishes. I'm just waiting for your ingredients."
"Yeah." He Shengnian changed his shoes and walked into the kitchen with a shopping bag. In addition to fresh shrimps, there was also an especially fresh broccoli.
Looking at his calm profile, Wen Ruoxi's mood suddenly became complicated.
She thought He Shengnian might forget what Xu Qinghu said, after all, he was very indifferent to Xu Qinghu, but she didn't expect...
"Let me handle the shrimp." She raised her hand to take the plastic bag from He Shengnian.
"I'll do it," He Shengnian took out the other ingredients, "you wash and cut the broccoli."
Wen Ruoxi had no objection.
The two of them divided the work in the kitchen, chatting from time to time, no different from familiar strangers.
I was really looking forward to sparks between them. The pairing of a mature, overbearing CEO and a gentle, gentle painter is perfect for romance novels, but in the end, there wasn't even a hint of it.
[It can't be helped. It's because Mr. He is only interested in Qiao Qiao. If it were Qiao Qiao, do you think he would be so indifferent?]
[Both of them are quite tactful, but a little boring. Not as sweet as when He Shengnian and Xu Qinghu are together.]
[Didn't anyone notice He Shengnian bought shrimp and broccoli? He seems to be taking Xu Qinghu's words very seriously.]
[+1, I've noticed this before. Mr. He is really nice to Hulu. I look forward to their future interactions.]
[This is hilarious. He doesn't care what Xu Qinghu says. He's polite and well-mannered. You CP fans, stop imagining things. There's absolutely no chance of him and Xu Qinghu being together.]
[What is He Shengnian's status? What is Xu Qinghu's status? They are not a good match at all. Let's forget about it.]
Xu Qinghu came out of the subway and happened to run into Gu Jingchen who had just gotten off work. He parked his car next to Xu Qinghu and said with a smile: "Come in, I'll take you home."
Xu Qinghu glanced at the small house a few hundred meters away and did not refuse his invitation. "Then I'll trouble you, Teacher Gu."
Gu Jingchen's smile deepened upon hearing this, and he said softly, "I remember you work in the High-tech Zone. If you don't mind, you can take my ride in the future."
Xu Qinghu shook his head. "There might be traffic jams in the morning. I'd better take the subway."
Gu Jingchen was about to say that the route he chose had no traffic jams, but Xu Qinghu had already changed the subject, "Why are you getting off work so late today? I remember you were always on time before."
"I have an exhibition recently." Gu Jingchen's eyes were slightly tired. "I can go home from get off work normally next week."
Xu Qinghu nodded, "Then you should go to bed early today."
As they were talking, the cabin was already in sight.
Xu Qinghu got out of the car with her bag and heard laughter coming from the garden from afar.
She walked over, and Qiao Wanshu and Zhong Zining, who were sitting on the swing, raised their heads at the same time. When they saw that she came back in Gu Jingchen's car, their eyes changed.
"You're back?" Zhong Zining glanced at Xu Qinghu with a half-smile, and said meaningfully, "When did your relationship with Teacher Gu become so good that you always come back together after get off work."
Qiao Wanshu also looked at Xu Qinghu. Although his expression was cold, he was also waiting for Xu Qinghu's answer.
"Why," Xu Qinghu looked at the two of them, "We're both guests in the same little room, but I don't even have the right to ride in Teacher Gu's car?"
She narrowed her eyes and stared at Zhong Zining. "You've ridden in Qi Song's car before. You should have a good relationship with him, right?"
Zhong Zining choked up in her throat. She hated Qi Song to death. How could she have any feelings for him? Xu Qinghu was clearly talking nonsense!
Zhong Zining rolled her eyes secretly, "I'm just asking, why did you mention Qi Song?"
"I just said it casually," Xu Qinghu said slowly, "I didn't expect you to care so much."
Zhong Zining: "..."
Gu Jingchen parked the car and came over, explaining with a smile: "Hulu and I met at the subway entrance, so we just came back together. I didn't go there specifically to pick her up."
His eyes fell on Qiao Wanshu, worried that she would misunderstand his relationship with Xu Qinghu.
"Is that so?" Qiao Wanshu smiled, "That's quite a coincidence."
"Teacher Gu is a very nice person," Xu Qinghu stroked the hair that fell on his ear and said slowly, "He knew that my workplace was not far from his, and he wanted to give me a ride."
As soon as these words came out, Qiao Wanshu's eyes changed again when he looked at Gu Jingchen, "Really?"
Seeing this, Gu Jingchen knew that she cared about him, and a sweet feeling suddenly surged in his heart, "Your workplace is not far from me, I can also give you a ride."
He had mentioned this matter before, but was politely rejected by Qiao Wanshu. This time, he brought it up again through Xu Qinghu, also wanting to increase the time they spent together.
Seeing that he did not answer why she wanted to give Xu Qinghu a gift, but instead changed the subject to another topic, Qiao Wanshu lowered her eyelashes, a trace of disgust flashed in her eyes.
"No need," she said calmly, "I have my own car, you can just pick up Hulu."
"I can't take Teacher Gu's car," Xu Qinghu sighed regretfully, "I'm used to taking the subway, so I won't bother Teacher Gu."
After saying that, she walked straight into the cabin.
Looking at her back without turning back, Gu Jingchen's eyes flashed, and he said to Qiao Wanshu: "If I can give someone a ride on the way to work, no matter who that person is, I will be very happy."
The implication was that he was simply helping Xu Qinghu and asked Qiao Wanshu not to think too much about it.
"I understand," Qiao Wanshu's expression remained indifferent. "We're about to have dinner. Go upstairs and change your clothes first."
"Okay." Noticing that she was not in a good mood, Gu Jingchen's eyes dimmed for a moment.
He thought that seeing him and Xu Qinghu coming back together, Qiao Wanshu would be a little jealous, but her reaction was even calmer than he imagined.
It was clear that they got along very well when they were dating alone, but whenever he wanted to clarify their relationship, she seemed very indifferent...
Xu Qinghu changed into her nightgown and headed straight for the kitchen. Seeing the shrimp and broccoli stir-fry on the table, the corners of her mouth immediately lifted. Standing at the door, she said with a smile, "Thank you for your hard work, chefs."
He Shengnian and Wen Ruoxi turned around at the same time, only to see Xu Qinghu's eyes curved with a smile. "I'm too tired from class today, so I won't eat the fat-reducing meal. I'm going to enjoy the cooking of the two chefs."
Seeing her so flattering, Wen Ruoxi couldn't help but smile, "I specially cooked multi-grain rice tonight, you can eat more."
Looking at her gentle smile, Xu Qinghu felt as if a hot spring had surged into his heart, and his whole body was warm. "Thank you, Ruoxi."
"Why are you being so polite?" Wen Ruoxi laughed and said, "It's not a very troublesome matter."
"It smells so good," Xu Qinghu walked into the kitchen and looked at the sweet and sour pork ribs He Shengnian was frying. His eyes were burning as he said, "It looks delicious."
He Shengnian lowered his eyes to look at her, and said expressionlessly: "If you are free, please help take out the dishes."
Xu Qinghu slowly raised his head, met his deep and cold eyes, and the corners of his mouth suddenly lifted up, "As you command."
