Chapter 46
He was wearing a blue shirt, which was elegant and yet had a faint sense of power. The orange light of the Mobil lamp made him look hazy, and the blue color became deeper, like the sea at night.
Chen Lanjun was originally extremely tired, but as she looked at him, she gradually became more sober.
I have to admit that Shao Qinghe is indeed a good-looking guy, but he is a little unpredictable.
"If you look at it again, you will have to pay." Shao Qinghe said without raising his head, still flipping through the English document in his hand.
"No problem," Chen Lanjun smiled, and said with the aura of someone opening a bottle of 1982 Lafite, "Ah Jing, bring me another cup of herbal tea, and put it on my account."
Shao Qinghe's fingers, which were flipping through the documents, suddenly stopped.
"It's new. This is the first time a girl has invited me to drink... herbal tea."
Chen Lanjun stood up, walked over with her hands behind her back, and said, "Why, you look down on herbal tea? It's great for clearing away heat, detoxifying, removing dampness and promoting salivation. Don't read. There's no electricity here, and the light is dim."
"What's the matter with you coming to see me?"
Shao Qinghe raised his head, chin slightly raised, and after a few seconds, he slowly said, "Yes."
"What's wrong?"
"See if there's anything going on."
Chen Lanjun was speechless, pursed her lips, and said, "I'm sorry to disappoint you. I'm busy and there's nothing exciting to see."
"I think so too." Shao Qinghe said lightly.
But his next words surprised Chen Lanjun.
"Since there's nothing exciting here, do you want to go with me to watch the fun tomorrow?"
Chen Lanjun asked in surprise: "Are you asking me out?"
There was silence.
Is it ambiguous to ask this question? It feels difficult to answer. Chen Lanjun hesitated for a moment and laughed twice: "Just kidding, I have something to do tomorrow morning, and I should be able to answer it later..."
"yes."
"Yeah, okay." Chen Lanjun answered, and suddenly realized that Shao Qinghe's "yes" was actually a response to her previous sentence.
She looked at Shao Qinghe.
Shao Qinghe's expression did not change at all, he still looked arrogant.
After a few seconds of silence, Chen Lanjun frowned and asked, "What are your plans?"
"There is a small event being held in Shekou Industrial Zone tomorrow, and I can take people there," said Shao Qinghe.
Chen Lanjun thought for a moment and asked again: "Since you were invited, the event must have been well planned. Will Boss Yuan go?"
"It is said that it will."
"Sure." Chen Lanjun agreed readily. "Then, let's meet here at 11 o'clock tomorrow?"
"Okay," Shao Qinghe stood up and straightened his tie, "Miss Chen, goodbye."
Chen Lanjun did not keep him.
Shao Qinghe never looked back.
Just move away step by step.
After his figure completely disappeared in the restaurant, Ajing came out and put a bowl of herbal tea on the table.
"He asked you out?" Ajing looked gossipy.
"Well, sort of."
Ah Jing's eyes lit up: "What does he mean? Does he...does he like you?"
The word "like" made Chen Lanjun smile: "Not really."
"Then why else would a big boss like him come to you and ask you out?" A smile appeared on Ah Jing's face, and no one knew what was going on in his mind.
"Did he fall in love with you at first sight when you stopped the car last time, and heard that you were here, so he came to invite you? Oh my God, if that's the case, you should set up a table of wine to thank me for the matchmaking!"
Chen Lanjun stretched out her finger and tapped Ah Jing's forehead: "Are you editing a movie? How long has it been? It's been nearly half a year. How could it be love at first sight after such a long time?"
In the past, it wasn't that no man had pursued her, but Chen Lanjun was too busy with her career to care about it. More importantly, she hadn't met anyone who made her heart beat.
She is extremely rich both materially and spiritually, and lacks nothing. She is interesting enough alone, so she takes a casual attitude towards love. If she doesn't have any feelings, then she doesn't have any feelings. There is no need to settle.
Some friends said, "It's hard for you to fall in love when you're so clear-headed and so naive."
Just like at this moment, facing Shao Qinghe's invitation, Chen Lanjun even felt a little defensive.
What exactly does Shao Qinghe want to do?
It is impossible to fall in love at first sight and be deeply in love, otherwise why would you wait so long to find me?
Well, most likely this young master had something to deal with and came here, and happened to see her, and was just bored, so he wanted to have some fun to fill his time.
With his looks and family background, he definitely had no shortage of female companions. Moreover, according to Chen Lanjun's impression of these wealthy young men from Hong Kong before her rebirth, it was quite bad. Such rich men would appear in tabloids every few days, performing love-hate relationships with their many girlfriends.
Not to mention the rich young men, even ordinary Hong Kong men, when they come to the mainland, there are many who find one or even several lovers here.
Due to the huge economic gap between the two sides at that time, drivers, workers, small business owners in Hong Kong could support a lover here with just half a month's salary. Many people had one wife in Hong Kong and one or even more in this country.
Due to different systems and the lack of communication of identity and household registration information, no one cared about this matter at all, and no one could manage it. Pengcheng City even came up with the ridiculous term "mistress village".
Before Chen Lanjun was reborn, she was a businesswoman and dealt with a lot of male bosses. She heard a lot of this kind of mess.
There was a little girl in her factory who was deceived by a Hong Kong man with sweet words. She thought she had met a good man and didn't have to work hard anymore. But after the child was born, she found out that the man had a wife and children in Hong Kong. In the end, she and her child were in a very embarrassing situation. What's worse is that in the year of the Hong Kong financial crisis, the man simply disappeared. He disappeared and stopped sending money. The little girl had to hold the child and cry and beg Chen Lanjun to let her go back to the factory to work.
The moment Shao Qinghe invited her, Chen Lanjun thought of the mistress who was crying while holding her child.
She subconsciously wanted to refuse, but considering the other party's high status and it was not easy to refuse rudely, she politely asked about the situation.
But when she heard that Boss Yuan would go, Chen Lanjun hesitated for two seconds and then agreed.
Even if it is a sugar-coated bullet, she will eat the sugar coating and shoot the bullet back.
*** ***
Shao Qinghe walked out of Wutong Restaurant. At the intersection, a man came up to him with a flashlight. It was an employee of the company. "Mr. Shao, can you see anyone?"
Shao Qinghe said "hmm".
"That lady must be very happy, right? Even a rich lady from Hong Kong would be so excited that she would stay up all night to go out with Mr. Shao. Oh no, I should have brought a set of cosmetics with me. I was not thoughtful enough."
"No."
"Hmm? What?"
Shao Qinghe walked forward: "She wanted to reject me."
"Why? This northern girl——"
After this derogatory name was uttered, Shao Qinghe looked at the man coldly.
The man was so frightened by this look that he broke out in a cold sweat and slapped his mouth quickly: "Sorry, that's not what I meant. I was just surprised that the lady had such an idea. Who would refuse to date Mr. Shao? Does she have a lover?"
"No."
"Why?"
"I don't know."
Shao Qinghe replied coldly.
He really doesn't understand.
With his family background, appearance and character, only girls would chase him. Once, a very beautiful daughter enthusiastically invited him to a party. Shao Qinghe went because of his stunning beauty and good family background.
Only when you go there will you realize how boring it is. He left the party just an hour after it started.
There was no way he could do it. He couldn't bear to marry a pretty-looking wife like his other friends.
If that were done, it might bring tragedy to the woman.
He had witnessed that kind of tragedy when he was young and vowed never to repeat it.
Chen Lanjun was someone who made him feel a little special, but not so special that Shao Qinghe was willing to be Romeo for her.
At that time, Shao Qinghe was in a hurry to return to Hong Kong, and he heard that Chen Lanjun was preparing for the college entrance examination. After a little thought, he left.
If he can still remember this person by next season, then he will go find her, Shao Qinghe thought.
However, Shao Qinghe never considered that there would be girls who would not be willing to accept the olive branch he extended.
The frowning expression of Chen Lanjun just now appeared in his mind again, which made him frown involuntarily.
Back at the guesthouse, he turned on the light and looked in the mirror very carefully.
There's nothing wrong with the face.
So what made her unhappy?
How strange!
