Chapter 445 Silent Concern
"Brother, this is the Xiaoxi that I mentioned to you before. Ah, her full name is Yang Xi, my good friend and bestie." Shi Feiye was unaware of anything and took Yang Xi's hand to introduce her to Lin Qiong.
Lin Qiong nodded and said in a deep voice: "Miss Yang, nice to meet you. You are A Ye's friend, which means you are my friend."
As he spoke, he opened the door and motioned Shi Feiye and Yang Xi to go in together. After they entered, he motioned for the two to sit down first. Then he took out his mobile phone, opened WeChat, clicked on the page with the QR code, and held it in front of Yang Xi.
Yang Xi was confused. What did this mean? Asking her to add WeChat?
Yang Xi had never seen this kind of operation before and couldn't understand what Lin Qiong was thinking. Suddenly, he remembered that people outside said that Lin Qiong was a sister-con, and Shi Feiye also often said that Lin Qiong treated her well and made her helpless. He suddenly realized that maybe Lin Qiong was taking care of his sister.
Since the other party was giving him so much face, Yang Xi had to accept it. He quickly took out his mobile phone, scanned the QR code, added him as a friend, and added the three words "Boss Lin" in the remarks.
Even when the Yang family was at its peak, it could not compare with the Lin family. For Yang Xi, Lin Qiong was a big shot. A god-like person who took over the Lin family and expanded its assets by one third, what else could he be but a big shot?
Lin Qiong watched Yang Xi add himself. While the other party was typing, he took a few glances at him and finally got a clear idea of his appearance. Being a straight man, he didn't see anything, but he thought he was very good-looking.
Yang Xi originally had the appearance of a delicate little white flower. It was only because old man Yang cultivated her intellectual and talented temperament when she was a child in order to marry her into a higher-class family that she avoided the delicate appearance of being bullied by others.
But it is undeniable that Yang Xi is indeed the type of beauty that most men like. She is tall, thin, fair, pretty and young, and has a good temperament. She is generally very attractive.
Even now, there are still many men willing to spend a lot of money to pursue her. Fortunately, Yang Xi is very clear about her own problems and always tries to restrain herself from appearing to be easy to bully. It looks pretty good.
However, in the embarrassing situation just now, Yang Xi herself did not realize that she looked somewhat lovable because she felt embarrassed, which made Lin Qiong feel very embarrassed and thought that he had scared her.
"Which stream?" Lin Qiong asked hesitantly while filling in the notes.
Yang Xi was so embarrassed that he wanted to bang his head against the wall. He was so embarrassed that he didn't even mention his name when adding the friend:
"Which one, the brook of creek, is the brook of stream water."
"Yeah, it sounds good." Lin Qiong praised while making a note, then went straight to the point and asked Master Feiye:
"What's wrong? Aren't you going to leave? Why are you here again? What's the matter with Xiaoxi?"
Shi Feiye watched the whole process and felt it was a bit strange. Lin Qiong had never seen Yang Xi, but he had seen Wan Fu and Han Wenya before. Why did he call those two Miss Wan and Miss Han, but when it was Yang Xi's turn, he became Xiaoxi?
But it doesn’t matter. Maybe he thinks his best friend is his sister:
"Well, isn't your company looking for a clothing company to cooperate with? Xiaoxi is also one of the candidates this time. Since she's here, let's choose her. Her ability is definitely no problem. It's better to use your own people so that you can feel at ease when using them."
Yang Xi immediately interrupted Shi Feiye and shook his head vigorously:
"No, no, really no, just do what you have to do and follow the procedures. It's not good to use backdoors like this. I can speak on my own merits. If I'm not selected, it's because I don't have the ability."
Lin Qiong didn't respond to her words at all, but agreed with what Shi Feiye said:
"Since we are all one of us, there is no need to go through the trouble of going through the formalities. I will tell the person in charge and we will just work with Xiaoxi in the future, which will save us the trouble of going back and forth."
"Oh, really, that's not necessary. What if the design I made is not suitable? That would be so embarrassing. We would have to go back and forth and you would lose money."
Yang Xi hurriedly reached out and grabbed Lin Qiong's sleeve, not wanting him to call the person in charge.
Lin Qiong paused, looked up at Yang Xi, and felt as if he was touched by Yang Xi's eyes. His whole body felt numb. He was startled and shook subconsciously. Yang Xi didn't use much force to begin with, so when he shook, Yang Xi's hand slipped.
Lin Qiong grabbed Yang Xi's hand without thinking, then realized something was wrong, but was too embarrassed to let it go, so he quickly picked up the tea on the table and stuffed it into Yang Xi's hand:
"Tea first."
After stuffing it in, I breathed a sigh of relief and secretly praised myself for my quick reaction.
Yang Xi was confused. What did it mean to hold someone's hand and then stuff a cup of tea into their mouth?
Shi Feiye was even more confused. This was the first time that Lin Qiong did not give her the tea right away, but gave it to someone else instead. She was not jealous, but she felt that the relationship between her brother and Xiaoxi was even weirder.
"Yes, thank you Mr. Lin, but you really don't have to choose me because of Ye Zi. This is also a big company. It's not good to use the back door. You should just follow the company's procedures."
How could Lin Qiong listen to her? His attitude was very tough:
"Since you are Ye Zi's good friend, you are my sister. There is no need to be so polite. Besides, this order is nothing. Even if it doesn't make money, it's okay for you to practice. Don't be polite. If you are polite again, I will be angry."
At this point, being polite would be shameless. Yang Xi was so exhausted that he could only agree:
"Thank you, Mr. Lin."
"Just follow A Ye and call me brother." Lin Qiong said.
Having just received such a big favor, Yang Xi had no choice but to follow suit: "Brother Lin."
It sounded a bit unpleasant, but it was bearable, so Lin Qiong accepted it. He checked his phone and saw that it was still early and not time for lunch, so he called the person in charge and asked him to bring the things up to sign the contract.
Shi Feiye looked at Yang Xi and then at Lin Qiong, and suddenly he discovered something that he had never dared to think about.
If things go as expected, this should be the first time that my brother has been so enthusiastic towards a girl, right?
That's right, it was enthusiasm. Compared to his previous behavior of either ignoring girls or nodding to her besties and walking away, Lin Qiong's attitude towards Yang Xi could be described as enthusiastic. Shi Feiye originally thought that he was doing this for her sake, but now it seems that it is not that simple.
Afterwards, the person in charge, Yang Xi and Lin Qiong were discussing the contract. Shi Feiye watched his brother give up another three percentage points of profit.
This behavior once again confirmed Shi Feiye's guess. In addition, during the conversation, Lin Qiong almost kept looking at Yang Xi. Shi Feiye was sure that his brother was moved!
Everything was settled. Lin Qiong signed swiftly and pushed the contract in front of Yang Xi. Yang Xi stopped being pretentious and signed her name swiftly as well, listening to Lin Qiong praising her beautiful handwriting.
Shi Feiye sat on the sofa and stroked the goose bumps on her arms. She felt that the old man who suddenly fell in love was really unbearable and so disgusting.
Yang Xi didn't know what Lin Qiong was like in normal times. She felt that although they were both brothers, Lin Qiong was much better than her brother. She used to think that her brother was very good to her, but now he was much worse. She couldn't help but envy Shi Feiye's good life.
Look at Lin Qiong, he is handsome, capable, and self-disciplined. The key is that although he has a cold face, he is very gentle to his people and will give compliments in time, which is very considerate.
But it was just envy, not jealousy like before. Yang Xi has now let it go. Everyone has their own destiny, right?
After accepting the kindness, Yang Xi had already started thinking about how to design the clothes better, at least to ensure that Lin Qiong would not lose money.
After all this time, it was almost eleven o'clock. Lin Qiong naturally took out his phone to check:
"It's almost noon. This is your first time here, so I'll treat you. I just happened to have ordered a table of delicious food from a friend. Let's go and try it together. This is also a way to celebrate Xiaoxi's success in getting the order."
Since they were celebrating for her, Yang Xi couldn't refuse and could only look at Shi Feiye. Shi Feiye saw that her elder brother was looking at her calmly and nodded while suppressing her smile:
"Well, let's go and try it together. It's rare to have a meal that my brother would say is good. We should also celebrate for Xiaoxi."
My brother probably hasn't realized yet that he has already fallen in love. It's rare to see him showing signs of being single, so she must seize the opportunity to help him!
Lin Qiong had just notified people to order the food. He was a VIP there anyway, and his VIP card was given to him by others to please him. He didn't have to worry about not having anything to eat when he got there. The people there would definitely give him all the good things first.
So when the three of them got there, the meal was already ready.
Lin Qiong not only took care of Shi Feiye during the meal, but also picked up food for Yang Xi from time to time. Shi Feiye wanted to laugh when seeing this. He ate the meal with great interest and felt that he had gained a lot of material for his novel.
After the meal, Yang Xi had to leave in a hurry for something. Lin Qiong wanted to see him off but was refused. He could only watch Yang Xi leave.
Shi Feiye walked slowly to Lin Qiong, who was watching Yang Xi leave, and nudged Lin Qiong with his shoulder:
"Hey, brother, are you in love? Isn't Xiaoxi so cute and pretty?"
"No, I take care of her because of you." Lin Qiong was stunned by Shi Feiye's words, and then subconsciously denied it.
"Oh, because of me. Not only did I enthusiastically add her on WeChat, I also enthusiastically invited her to dinner, and I even stared at her while she was signing the contract?"
Shi Feiye tilted her head and looked at Lin Qiong with a playful look:
"Although as your younger sister, I don't mind taking the blame for you occasionally, but I don't think I can handle this kind of thing. I'm afraid I'll ruin your happiness for the rest of your life."
Lin Qiong frowned and realized that his attitude towards Yang Xi was not right.
Shi Feiye added fuel to the fire: "Looking at the other person and unable to take your eyes off him, but also reluctant to let him go, isn't this the appearance of being interested in someone?"
