Chapter 321: Declaration of Sovereignty
That afternoon, Lan Qiuru brought her team to meet her, and Jiang Yao also brought his own team members.
When the two sides met, the team members were obviously unhappy when they first learned that Lan Qiuru was going to hand over the project coordination to an outsider.
After learning about Jiang Yao's past achievements and witnessing her abilities, they all showed admiration and full support.
In the next half day, everyone should go over the project content and research direction.
Halfway through the conversation, Lan Qiuru asked everyone to take a break.
"Thank you for your hard work, I'll treat you to some coffee. It will be brought to you shortly."
She announced with a smile and there was a knock on the door.
Jiang Yao thought it was the delivery man, so when he opened the door, he saw an unexpected figure standing at the door.
"Mr. Qin?"
Qin Jinxiu smiled at her gently and handed her the cup of coffee. "It's your treat."
"Thank you." The cup was still warm. She was a little curious: "Why did you come here in person?"
"I just stopped by to take a look. Don't worry about me. Just do your thing first." Qin Jinxiu walked in with a natural attitude.
The assistant behind him distributed the coffee one by one.
Jiang Yao then sat back down at his desk, flipping through the documents at hand and writing down the contents with a pen.
As I was writing, the pen ran out of ink.
Just when she was thinking about asking someone to borrow one, a beautiful silver pen was handed to her. "If you don't mind, use mine."
Qin Jinxiu's considerate voice sounded.
"Thank you." Jiang Yao was concentrating on the project at the moment and didn't think much about it. He took it and used it directly.
Therefore, she did not see Qin Jinxiu, who was standing behind her, silently taking out his cell phone and secretly taking a picture of her.
In the camera, the girl was holding a pen stained with his scent in her hand, with her head lowered, concentrating on processing documents.
A cup of coffee is placed next to him.
The afternoon sunlight from the window shone on her, her long eyelashes cast a shadow, and her beautiful profile looked holy and beautiful.
Qin Jinxiu nodded in satisfaction, clicked on the picture group and sent it, and added a line of text: [Afternoon sunshine and her.]
After sending it, a wicked smile appeared at the corner of his lips.
…
At the same time, Liheng Group.
Li Beiting had just finished a meeting and picked up his phone to send a message to Jiang Yao, but he saw the new post from Qin Jinxiu's Moments.
He enlarged the photo and looked at the woman in the camera, bathed in sunlight. It was so heart-warming.
He unconsciously clenched his phone.
“Wow, this composition and this photography are so full of love!”
Xie Hao's teasing voice came from behind, "And that pen in her hand, is the word 'Xiu' engraved on it? Wow! When did my sister-in-law become so close to the eldest son of the Qin family? Could it be that someone else got there first?"
"Are you free?" Li Beiting shot him a cold look.
Xie Hao quickly said, "I'm concerned about your relationship. If you don't publicly declare your sovereignty at this point, they'll only become more emboldened."
"Do I need you to teach me how to do things?"
"Okay, okay, I won't say anything." Xie Hao tactfully made a gesture of surrender and soon planned to leave.
But the next second, Li Beiting called him, "Wait."
"Hey, President Li, what are your instructions?"
"Help me get something..." Li Beiting gave a few instructions.
Xie Hao raised his eyebrows after hearing this. This guy seems calm, but he actually cares a lot.
"Don't worry, leave it to me."
…
That evening.
Jiang Yao and his team discussed all the details of the project. Since it involved aerospace research, it would then have to be submitted to the higher authorities for approval.
Once approved, the research can be formally launched.
When she packed up her documents and stood up to leave, Lan Qiuru specifically asked Qin Jinxiu to see her off.
The two walked all the way to the door.
But what I saw was an unexpected scene.
Outside the laboratory, Li Beiting leaned against the car, the afterglow of the setting sun covering him.
He held a bouquet of bright roses in his hand, his fingertips unconsciously rubbing the wrapping paper, making a rustling sound.
Hearing the sound of high heels, his eyes curved slightly and he strode towards her.
"This is?"
"I saw them when I passed by the flower shop. They suit you very well." He handed the bouquet over with one hand, his expression tender: "These are for you."
Jiang Yao took it in surprise.
No one dislikes beautiful flowers. Just a few glances at them will make you feel happy.
Then she saw a golden gift box hidden among the branches and leaves, and the box exuded a cool fragrance of cedar wood.
She untied the ribbon with some curiosity,
I thought it was a necklace or other jewelry.
However, contrary to expectations, there was a lavender fountain pen inside, and a sapphire inlaid on the pen cap was shining brightly in the twilight.
"Wow, what a beautiful pen! It's even inlaid with gemstones. It's so rare."
Colleagues who came out from behind were all amazed.
Someone said, "Ah! I know this one! It's a limited edition 'Molan' pen, forged by a top Swiss fountain pen workshop in the 1930s. There were only 12 of them in the world at the time, and the one with the sapphire is the only one left! I've only seen it in a history magazine, and its price has been hyped up to tens of millions."
"This can be considered an antique, but it can't be bought with just money. This gift is really thoughtful."
Jiang Yao was also shocked. "Why did you give me such an expensive pen?"
"Of course it's for you. Don't you like it?" Li Beiting asked back.
Jiang Yao, "This isn't a question of like or not..."
It is too extravagant to carry such an expensive pen with you when you go out.
"I hope you can carry it with you." Li Beiting leaned over and whispered in her ear: "As long as you think of me when you see it in the future, I will feel very satisfied."
Jiang Yao's ears felt hot.
After understanding his thoughts, I felt both funny and sweet.
"Okay, I'll take it then." She still met his request.
Li Beiting curved his lips into a smile, and glanced at Qin Jinxiu's direction seemingly unintentionally, meeting the face with a dark aura.
He seemed to be in a better mood and left holding Jiang Yao's hand.
Although there are no words of confession, every move is enough to show the attitude.
Qin Jinxiu's mood became very complicated at this moment.
At this moment, someone patted his shoulder gently, and Lan Qiuru's voice rang in his ears: "Do you like Yaoyao so much?"
"Auntie..." Qin Jinxiu smiled bitterly, "Was it obvious to me?"
"Yes, this is the first time I've seen you so serious since you were a child." Lan Qiuru looked at him distressedly, "But Jinxiu, I want to tell you the truth. Although I have known Yaoyao for a short time, I understand her character.
Once she sets her mind on someone, she won't change. You should just give up."
Qin Jinxiu also knew it.
Although I understand it rationally, I still cannot control my emotions.
I can only hope that time can dilute all this.
