Zhou Jia didn't want to argue with anyone, so he smiled politely at Lin Qiaoqiao and said, "We suddenly remembered that we have something to do, so we want to leave first."
Lin Qiaoqiao sneered, "Whether it's because of something or because you can't afford it, that's another matter."
She was relentless and it was clear that she was targeting the two of them.
Qiao Qing and Zhou Jia looked at each other and saw each other's confusion.
“I really can’t afford it.”
Zhou Jia was a little angry, but she admitted it with a blushing face. After all, it was she who pulled Qiao Qing in.
"We want to leave now. What? Are you still stopping us from leaving?"
Lin Qiaoqiao crossed her arms, her delicately made-up face full of arrogance, and said with a hint of sarcasm: "You came in even though you knew you couldn't afford it. Did you want to get to know some people and have a free lunch?"
The two of them suddenly realized that they were here with the idea of turning into a phoenix.
It's really true.
Lin Qiaoqiao feels a sense of crisis towards girls who are more beautiful than herself, especially those like Qiao Qing, who is not only stunningly beautiful, but also has a personality that is particularly appealing to boys. You can tell by how popular Qiao Qing is in the company.
Qiao Qing smiled, and said meaningfully, "We don't have such an idea. I don't know if the person who said this has such an idea."
Zhou Jia quickly nodded in agreement.
"right."
"you"
Lin Qiaoqiao was speechless for a moment, then seemed to find it a little funny, "Do I still need to get to know other people?"
Qiao Qing looked Lin Qiaoqiao up and down, as if he understood something, and nodded affirmatively: "Yes, even if I need you, I don't necessarily want to get to know you."
Zhou Jia couldn't help but burst out laughing.
But when she saw that Lin Qiaoqiao was looking at her with an unfriendly look, she quickly covered her mouth and tried to hold back her smile.
"Oh, you are really sharp-tongued. I just wonder if your wallet is as tough as your mouth."
Lin Qiaoqiao knew that she couldn't win the argument with Qiao Qing, so she held on to this point.
Qiao Qing smiled. She stretched out her fair and slender arm and pulled Zhou Jia to sit down.
"Then we really won't leave."
"Whatever you want."
Lin Qiaoqiao was a little amused, "Are you planning to hold on?"
"What do you mean by holding on?"
A cold voice sounded, with a hint of doubt.
Qiao Qing turned her head and saw a tall and straight figure, followed by a familiar face. There was surprise in her eyes.
Zhou Jia also saw the person coming, because she was coming towards her. Although the other party was very handsome, she didn't know him, so she didn't show too much emotion.
Lin Qiaoqiao turned around when she heard the voice, her eyes widened in shock, and she said, "CEO."
For a moment, I couldn't speak clearly.
"What do you mean by holding on?"
Xu Yanyi approached the group and cast a cold gaze on Lin Qiaoqiao.
A thin layer of sweat appeared on Lin Qiaoqiao's forehead, and she felt a little oppressed for no reason.
She forced herself to smile calmly and said, "It's nothing, actually. A few employees from our company came here to eat out of curiosity, but they thought it was too expensive, so I told them not to force themselves and I'll treat them."
That's obviously not the case.
Zhou Jia was a little annoyed, and when she wanted to speak, Qiao Qing grabbed her arm.
Xu Yanyi nodded, and his gaze shifted to Qiao Qing's fair little face. There was no smile on her face now. She was wearing a white shirt with a black hip skirt, which made her figure look particularly graceful. She looked capable and mature, which was completely different from when she was in the gym.
"Do you work for Xu's?"
Zhou Jia was a little surprised and excited, and the fire of gossip in his eyes was almost overflowing.
It seems that the president knows Qiao Qiao.
He held Qiao Qing's hand a little tighter.
Qiao Qing pursed her lips, not knowing what expression to use when facing Xu Yanyi's new identity.
I could only nod and whispered, "Yeah."
Xu Yanyi sat down opposite Qiao Qing. He looked at Qiao Qing with a less cold look in his eyes.
"Want to eat something? I'll treat you."
As he spoke, he handed the menu to Qiao Qing.
Qiao Qing was stunned for a second, then reached out to take the menu and whispered, "Thank you."
Zhou Jia became even more excited watching this scene. She sat down without hesitation, her eyes fixed on the interaction between the two.
Lin Qiaoqiao's face turned pale, and she didn't know whether she should stay or leave.
She smiled awkwardly and asked, "Does the president know Qiao Qing?"
Qiao Qing?
Xu Yanyi really didn't know Qiao Qing's name, but when he heard it suddenly, he felt it was somewhat familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere before.
He thought about it carefully but couldn't figure it out.
"Well, do you have anything else?"
He didn't even turn his head, just focused on adjusting his napkin.
So arrogant.
Lin Qiaoqiao's self-esteem was severely damaged.
I have been pampered since I was a child, and this is the first time I have been ignored like this.
She calmed her breath and said with a fake smile: "It's okay, I'll go first, President, have a good meal."
Then she walked away with her high heels making a "dengdengdeng" sound, and the sound seemed to be venting her anger.
Xu Yanyi didn't care. He crossed his hands and looked at Qiao Qing indifferently, then his eyes fell on Zhou Jia.
He coughed lightly and asked in a gentle voice, "You all work at Xu's?"
When Zhou Jia heard Xu Yanyi ask her, she was very enthusiastic: "Yes, Qiao Qiao and I both work at Xu's."
She glanced at Qiao Qing and saw that he was just looking at the menu very seriously. She couldn't help but ask in confusion: "Doesn't the president know Qiao Qiao? Doesn't he know where she works?"
Xu Yanyi nodded, "Well, we haven't talked about this."
His eyes fell on Qiao Qing again. Qiao Qing looked around but didn't order any dishes, so he asked with concern: "Do you have any dietary restrictions? Do you want me to order for you?"
Qiao Qing raised her eyes and met Xu Yanyi's gaze. She was a little nervous facing her boss, and her fingers were tightly holding the menu.
"No."
She stood up and said, "My boyfriend has to come pick me up later, so I won't have dinner with you guys."
I picked up my bag and prepared to leave.
Zhou Jia actually knew that Qiao Qing had a boyfriend, but she had never seen him, and hadn’t heard much about him recently, so she thought they had broken up!
After all, it’s not easy to ask about such things. I didn’t expect that we were still talking about it.
Zhou Jia quickly said: "Then I will go with you."
If she were left alone to face the president, she would be extremely nervous.
Qiao Qing nodded.
Xu Yanyi held Qiao Qing's hand, Qingjun's face still had an indifferent expression. He said lightly: "Why don't we eat together? At least we can get to know each other."
Qiao Qing turned around in surprise and met Xu Yanyi's eyes. His eyes were dark and seemed to hold a hint of persistence.
She smiled awkwardly: "No need, it's not good if he gets jealous later."
I moved my wrist and it felt a little painful.
Ask politely: "Can you let go for a moment? It hurts a little."
There was a hint of coquettishness in her tone.
Zhou Jia watched this development and vaguely felt that she had gotten something extraordinary, but the feeling was a little vague and she herself was not sure.
But she felt the sweat on Qiao Qing's palms, and seemed to be very nervous.
Hearing this, Xu Yanyi reflexively loosened his grip, but did not let go.
His eyes were dark and unclear, and no one knew what he was thinking.
He curled his lips and said coldly, "It's just a meal."
Xu Yanyi stood up, and his tall figure suddenly enveloped Qiao Qing. The strong smell of hormones lingered around Qiao Qing. Qiao Qing could not help but frown and took two steps back.
She was wearing a pair of black high-heeled shoes, which bumped into the leg of the stool next to her. She staggered and was about to fall backwards.
A strong arm wrapped around her waist and pulled her back.
Before Qiao Qing could scream, she opened her eyes and saw Xu Yanyi's clear and stern face. His eyes were pitch black, and he saw a hint of worry for no reason, but he blinked it away.
"Be careful."
Watching this idol drama scene, Zhou Jia's heart was filled with waves. He was so excited that he couldn't help but remember to care about Qiao Qing.
"Qiao Qiao, are you okay? You really scared me just now. I thought you were going to fall, but I didn't expect the president to move so quickly. He pulled you back before I even noticed."
She even suspected that the other person's eyes were always on Qiao Qing.
Qiao Qing's gaze turned to Zhou Jia, who was still in Xu Yanyi's arms.
"Qiao Qing."
A familiar voice came into Qiao Qing's ears.
This voice was not only familiar to Qiao Qing, but also to Xu Yanyi.
The two of them turned their heads and looked over.
Wang Yi’s figure appeared in the eyes of the two.
Qiao Qing quickly withdrew from Xu Yanyi's arms. There was an awkward smile on her fair and delicate face, and she didn't know what to say.
The moment he saw Wang Yi, Xu Yanyi finally remembered a scene.
"This is my girlfriend, Qiao Qing."
Wang Yi's smile was very bright at that time.
His eyes fell on Wang Yi's face, which was expressionless now, just like his usual self.
Zhou Jia looked at Wang Yi curiously, wondering what the relationship between this man and Qiao Qing was. She always felt that the atmosphere at the scene had a bit of a gunpowder smell.
Wang Yi quickened his pace and walked to Qiao Qing's side. His gaze shifted from Qiao Qing to Xu Yanyi, and then from Xu Yanyi back to Qiao Qing.
This look in the eyes makes people feel a little frightened.
Qiao Qing pursed her lips, couldn't help but hold Wang Yi's arm, and explained: "Wang Yi, I was about to fall just now, so he helped me up, don't misunderstand."
Wang Yi's pair of tender peach blossom eyes were now cold. He raised his eyebrows slightly, curled his lips and smiled: "Qiao Qiao, don't say anything."
He stared at Xu Yanyi closely, "I want to hear you say it."
Zhou Jia suddenly realized that this man was Qiao Qiao's real boyfriend. The scene just now was indeed easy to be misunderstood.
She thought for a moment and said, "I can prove that, ahem, it was because Qiao Qiao was about to fall, so the president helped Qiao Qiao up. It was an accident."
Wang Yi didn't say anything, and it was unclear whether he heard it or not. His eyes were still fixed on Xu Yanyi.
Xu Yanyi turned his head and met Wang Yi's gaze. The momentary hostility seemed to be able to burn the people around him.
