Chapter 22 Chapter 22 “Don’t be like this, it seems like you really…
The curtains of the French window slowly opened automatically. Song Jing walked forward and put one hand in his pocket. "You really asked my friend to bring it over. Aren't you afraid your dad will see it?"
Xu Zhixi returned to the bedroom, turned around and closed the door, not forgetting to lock it: "That's quite thoughtful of you."
"Do you only now realize how considerate your boyfriend is?" The man's deep voice was as sweet as a spring, and he smiled seductively. "So, what brought Miss Xu to me? Hmm?"
Of course Xu Zhixi had already discovered it a long time ago, he just said it subconsciously.
"Because..." She took out the hidden book and put it on the table.
The man opposite remained quiet, waiting patiently for her to speak.
Xu Zhixi's fingers unconsciously stroked the book back and forth, and suddenly she realized that she had not thought about this problem carefully. She just followed her heart at that time. She was reluctant to refuse, so she simply accepted it.
Song Jing: "Because I don't have much money?"
Xu Zhixi: “…”
He never stops until his words are shocking.
Although she avoids those rich young masters, she didn't say that being poor is her criterion for choosing a partner. She just simply doesn't want to be trapped in a miserable and bloody life.
Besides, is he not rich? He is just not wealthy.
Nowadays, it is very impressive for young people in their twenties to own a small house of more than 100 square meters in a first-tier city, a small Mercedes-Benz, and more than 100,000 yuan in savings.
Most young people either own a house but need to pay off a mortgage, or those who don't need to pay off a mortgage can't afford one, or own a car but no house...
In short, few young people in their twenties can own a house, a car, and savings at the same time.
Xu Zhixi didn't know what to say for a long while, and the expression on his fair face kept changing. Song Jing raised an eyebrow: "Hmm? Is that so?"
Xu Zhixi said deliberately: "Yes, if you are too rich, I won't want you."
Xu Zhixi naturally followed his words and deliberately angered him a few times. She wanted a stable life, but not a stable life of poverty.
Who would want to be as poor as possible for no reason? Is this man sure he is not mocking her?
Song Jing was indeed joking.
Xu Zhixi's attitude of keeping a distance from wealthy families was indeed a headache for him. Now, hearing her say that, even if it was a joke, his heart suddenly sank.
"Really?" Song Jing's voice dropped.
Xu Zhixi didn't notice the strangeness in his voice. He opened the book and was making preparations. Without thinking, he said, "Of course it's true."
There was silence on the other end.
It was so quiet that Xu Zhixi thought the call had been hung up on her again.
I took out my phone and looked at it. It was still on the call.
Xu Zhixi asked doubtfully, "Are you still there?"
Song Jing hummed lightly, raised his fingers and pinched his eyebrows, obviously not in a good mood.
Xu Zhixi finally noticed his abnormality at this moment, and frowned, unable to help but said: "Don't be like this, as if you are really a rich man."
“…”
Song Jing had nothing to say. He just raised his hand and pressed his brows twice to suppress the depression in his chest.
Xu Zhixi didn't realize that she had been inadvertently poking the other person's lungs. After all, in her opinion, her words from beginning to end were just a rejection of those rich young masters, not a rejection of him, Song Jing.
On the contrary, she had clearly been choosing him firmly.
He should be happy.
After all, his girlfriend is not seeking a wealthy family (motivated)
, a girl (salted fish) who only wants stability (lying down) and is pragmatic, has relieved him of a lot of pressure.
Xu Zhixi sat down on the chair, put his phone on the table, glanced at the flight, and asked with his chin propped up, "Will you pick me up at the airport tomorrow?"
Song Jing frowned.
It was almost four in the morning. Even if he used his connections and took a private plane back to China, he would not be able to catch up with her speed in arriving in Hangzhou tomorrow morning.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Xu Zhixi naturally understood. Although she felt a little regretful, she also said considerately: "It's okay if you don't come. I can just take a taxi back. Anyway, I only have a small suitcase."
"I'll arrange for someone to pick you up."
"Who will you arrange?" Xu Zhixi became alert. "Isn't it your friend again?"
"Just because I'm your friend, you won't sit down?"
"I refuse."
Song Jing laughed out loud: "Don't worry, I don't have that many friends who are idle. I'll arrange a special car to pick you up when the time comes."
Xu Zhixi glared at him in her heart and scared her again.
Song Jing was about to say something when a busy tone suddenly sounded in his ear. He took down his phone and saw that the woman on the other end had hung up on him angrily.
He laughed helplessly, took out Qi Mu's phone number, and asked him to arrange a car to pick him up at the airport tomorrow.
After finishing all the arrangements, he was no longer sleepy, so he simply went to the study to do his work.
Halfway through his work, he thought for a moment and sent a message to Xu Zhixi.
[The R9 smart bracelet's new product launch is quite complex, so I might be out of town for the next few days and won't have time to meet you. If you need anything, please call me. I'll try to come back.]
…
Xu Zhixi still took the earliest flight back, thinking that she could have a good rest at home and study for a while. However, her old father had some opinions. He got up early in the morning and made breakfast for her, and stuffed a lot of local specialties into her mouth.
Last night he complained about her phone call, and today he complained about her booking the flight too early.
Xu Zhixi could only listen to the nagging silently, not daring to refute. If it weren't for the class, she wouldn't want to rush back so early.
Driving her to the airport, Xu Youyang suddenly remembered that strange Mr. Song and frowned, advising, "Hangzhou is a first-tier metropolis with a lot of people and complicated lives. You should be more careful. If a wealthy man introduces his son to you, don't refuse too bluntly. Save some face for both of you."
Xu Zhixi held his forehead with his hand.
It seems that her father still thinks that Mr. Song wants her to be his daughter-in-law.
But she could only respond politely, saying that she knew, so as not to worry her father.
After a four-hour direct flight, Xu Zhixi arrived in Hangzhou at 11:00 am.
The driver arranged by Song Jing had been waiting for a long time. When he saw Xu Zhixi, he quickly stepped forward to take the luggage from her hand and said respectfully, "Hello, Miss Xu, I am the driver sent by Mr. Song to pick you up. Let me take these!"
Xu Zhixi thanked him and followed him to get in the car.
After getting in the car, Xu Zhixi told her the address of the residential complex. The other party paused while fastening her seatbelt, then turned around and asked doubtfully, "Miss, aren't you going to Platinum Yue?"
Platinum Mansion is the community where Song Jing lives.
Hearing this, Xu Zhixi cursed him inwardly. Fortunately, she remembered to tell him her home address, otherwise the driver would have taken her to his house.
He was not at home a few days ago, so she went to take care of the kitten for a few days. Now he is not back and the kitten has been taken away, so why is she still going to his house?
It really is Song the Rascal.
His intention was very clear. He just wanted her to live with him in the future, but she just didn't want to let him have his way. Who told him to do it on his own?
"No, I'm going to Lilin's place."
The driver hesitated for two seconds and said, "Okay, miss, it's just that the order address here doesn't match. I need to confirm it again. Please wait."
Xu Zhixi expressed his understanding: "Okay."
The driver immediately sent a message to Assistant Qi Mu, almost like a cry for help: [Assistant Qi, Miss Xu said she wants to go to Lilin and not to Mr. Song's place. What should I do?]
The driver was doing as he was told. Song Jing asked him to take Xu Zhixi to Platinum Mansion without revealing his identity. However, Xu Zhixi had his own ideas and refused to cooperate, leaving him in a dilemma.
On the one hand, he had to complete the boss's task, and on the other hand, he couldn't offend Xu Zhixi.
It's too difficult.
Qi Mu: [Then I’ll listen to Miss Xu.]
The driver finally breathed a sigh of relief: [Okay.]
The driver was shocked when he found out that Song Jing actually had a girlfriend in private. Then he was asked to hide his identity in front of this girl. He had already imagined all kinds of bloody dramas of wealthy families in his mind, but he was mostly worried.
He was very frightened and uneasy that he knew such a secret matter.
They say the more you know, the faster you die.
He won't die young, will he?
An hour later, Xu Zhixi returned home exhausted. She changed her clothes, climbed into bed, and took a nap. It was already 2 p.m. when she woke up. She simply made a quick meal and went to class.
Although he had been studying secretly every day since returning home for a few days, Xu Zhixi still managed to keep up with his plan. He finished today's task early and did not have to stay up until the early morning.
The next morning, when Xu Zhixi went to work, he was unusually energetic, but Liao Keke, who was working at the next desk, had a listless look, lifeless, as if all his energy had been sucked out.
During the lunch break, Xu Zhixi came back from lunch and put the packed lunch box on her desk.
"Thank you..." Liao Keke was still listless.
Xu Zhixi raised her eyebrows: "What have you been doing these days?"
Liao Keke said with a forced smile: "Of course, I'm having a drink with my sisters."
"Did you go last night too?"
"I didn't go to bed until four last night."
"..." Xu Zhixi was horrified when she heard this. Even if she was busy with her studies, she would only sleep at two o'clock at most. She couldn't even think of drinking until four in the morning.
Liao Keke opened the lunch box, but the food tasted bland. She took two bites and put it down. "But I'm not completely uninformed. I have some gossip. Do you want to hear it?"
"listen."
Liao Keke looked around and lowered her voice and said, "Do you know what the biggest news in the upper class circle is recently?" Liao Keke came from a wealthy family and had frequent contact with this circle, so she knew a lot of inside information.
Xu Zhixi hesitated and said, "President Fu Rui found a little white flower?"
Liao Keke's eyes widened and she covered her mouth in surprise: "How did you know?"
Xu Zhixi smiled and said, "I just happened to know it." Not only did she know it, she also saw it with her own eyes.
Liao Keke sighed. "President Fu Rui's girlfriend and I were college classmates. I heard her family situation is quite... Anyway, her father remarried and her mother is mentally ill. Now she's finally become President Fu's girlfriend. We all thought she'd finally found her happy life after all the hardship she'd endured, but I heard they broke up recently."
Xu Zhixi: "Why?"
Liao Keke whispered, "It seems that it's because President Fu's mother doesn't agree to let her join the family."
"More than that..." Xu Zhixi recalled the scene he saw that night during the heavy rain, and the scene in the elevator lobby where the little white flower cruelly announced her new boyfriend.
Her voice was so low that Liao Keke didn't hear her and continued, "I love eating this kind of melon right now. If you marry into a wealthy family in the future, don't forget to give me firsthand information. I want to always be at the forefront of eating melons."
Xu Zhixi just smiled faintly.
This is impossible.
Because she has already found a boyfriend with some money, and if nothing unexpected happens, he will most likely be her lifelong lover.
She doesn't want to be the center of gossip and entertainment for the rich.
"I feel like I'll be getting off work early today. Do you want to go out and play together?" Liao Keke really likes Xu Zhixi. Seeing her often staying at home after get off work, she really can't stand it anymore.
Not surprisingly, Xu Zhixi refused: "No, I want to go home and have a good rest."
Liao Keke hugged her arms, blinked at her, and acted coquettishly: "Oh! Won't you get sick from being bored at home all day? I've asked you out so many times, can you go with me this time?"
"But I..."
"Don't say buts," Liao Keke interrupted hastily. "It's a deal. After get off work, I'll take you to get your makeup done, and we'll wow everyone together!"
Before Xu Zhixi could say anything, Liao Keke hurriedly picked up the lunch box and ran away.
“…”
She just wanted to say that there was no need for makeup.
There is no need to be so vigilant.
…
Song Jing returned to China at 7 p.m., got off the plane, and walked straight out of the international airport. Qi Mu followed him from the side the whole time. Before getting into the car, he respectfully asked, "Boss, Miss Chu is hosting a banquet at the Yunmu Hotel tonight. Would you like to go?"
Song Jing got in the car, leaned back, and said in a low voice full of fatigue: "No."
Qi Mu nodded. He'd known the answer long ago, but out of respect for Chu Chaoyan, he still had to ask Song Jing's opinion in person. "Okay. I'll tell Miss Chu that you're currently unavailable tonight."
Having just returned from abroad, Song Jing had not yet adjusted to the time difference, and now he needed to rush back to the company to attend a meeting. Even his strongest body could not bear it, so he had to close his eyes and rest for a while in the car.
An hour and a half later, we arrived at the Song family.
Song Jing took the elevator directly from the underground parking lot to the 36th floor.
As soon as I got out of the elevator, Secretary Xiao, who had been waiting for a long time, nodded and handed me the documents: "Mr. Song, these are the documents for the meeting later."
Song Jing took the document, lowered his eyes slightly, and flipped through it as he walked, his movements neither hurried nor slow.
All the senior executives in the conference room have arrived. Before Song Jing came in, there were still some whispers. After seeing Song Jing's figure, the conference room suddenly became quiet, as if the mute button was pressed, and everyone was silent.
The conference room is of extremely high specifications. Under the high dome is a symmetrically arranged long mahogany table that can accommodate more than twenty people, which is stable and noble.
After Song Jing came in, he put the documents on the table, sat down at the top seat, and looked at the people below with an emotionless and indifferent gaze.
"continue."
The air stagnated for half a second, and the reporter sitting below narrowed his eyes, stood up and walked forward.
The meeting lasted two hours. When it finally ended, Song Jing returned to his office and sat on the sofa by the window. He lowered his head and rubbed his brow with his slender fingers to relieve the soreness. After a moment, he took out his phone.
There was a message from Xu Zhixi an hour ago, but he was busy in a meeting at the time and didn't notice it.
Xu Zhixi: [I accompanied Keke to a banquet.]
banquet?
Song Jing thought for a long time before remembering Liao Keke. She was the only daughter of a tech company, with a wide social circle. Although not very bright, she was not bad either. She was one of the few rich girls in the circle who enjoyed experiencing life.
Xu Zhixi has a good relationship with her.
But Song Jing was still worried, and made a phone call with a frown.
Xu Zhixi is dead.
Then he sent a message: [Send a message, it’s not convenient to call.]
Song Jing: [Location.]
Good words are concise and to the point.
It was like cursing someone. Although Xu Zhixi complained about it at first glance, she was afraid that he would worry, so she replied seriously: [Yunmu Hotel.]
