Chapter 31 Don’t Be So Sentimental
After breakfast, Gao Cheng accompanied Jiang Xu to the underground garage to get the bag.
The car was still parked quietly in its old location. It seemed that He Yanting didn't use the car in the morning. Jiang Xu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Gao Cheng opened the car door and helped her take out the bag.
Jiang Xu took out his cell phone and opened it. There were several calls in it, all from colleagues.
She called back, and her colleague said, "Why didn't you come to work this morning? If you don't return my call, we're going to call the police."
Jiang Xu explained, "I accidentally fell asleep and didn't hear it. I'm so sorry."
My colleague said, "Forget it, forget it. I'm glad you're alright. But you're definitely going to have your salary docked. Your supervisor is going to be furious."
After a pause, she remembered something and said, "Oh, by the way, you know what? You're going on a business trip in two days, buy your plane ticket quickly, otherwise it will be hard to buy one."
Jiang Xu had only one step left in his project, and the business trip had been planned a long time ago, so Jiang Xu was not surprised.
"Okay, I see. Thanks for the reminder."
Jiang Xu hung up the phone and found Gao Cheng still standing there.
"Thank you for your help, Assistant Gao."
Jiang Xu nodded politely.
Before Gao Cheng turned around, he said lightly, "You're welcome."
Jiang Xu was stunned for a moment, looked at Gao Cheng's back, and frowned strangely. Why did he feel that Gao Cheng's attitude was weird today?
Gao Cheng used to look down on her, always speaking coldly to her and being sarcastic whenever he got the chance.
Luna learned all those tricks from him.
Could it be that He Yanting said something to him? Thinking of this, Jiang Xu suddenly understood. He had to admit that He Yanting had considered it very carefully in order to get the shares.
The business trip is scheduled for next Tuesday, and Jiang Xu has planned everything.
I will finish all the work on hand next week, then quit and go for surgery.
But when she thought about the surgery, she felt a little uncomfortable.
She lowered her head and touched her still flat belly. The longer the child stayed in her belly, the stronger the feeling of reluctance to let go became.
There is no time to delay, getting rid of it is the best option.
Jiang Xu took a deep breath, stared at the computer screen, and focused on his work.
At this moment, in the president's office on the top floor.
He Yanting had just finished a long meeting. He rubbed his temples and asked Gao Cheng, "Did you find what I asked you to look for?"
Gao Cheng nodded: "Just found out."
He turned on his phone: "This is what she bought at the mall."
He Yanting took a closer look and frowned slightly. It turned out to be a pair of cufflinks.
The design is simple, inlaid with diamonds, and it is high-end but not eye-catching, which is exactly her taste.
Gao Cheng said, "I bought this last week. I think it's a birthday present for you."
He Yanting paused rubbing his solar plexus with his long fingers and said faintly, "But I didn't receive it."
Gao Cheng made up for it: "Maybe I forgot, or I didn't have the chance to send it."
He Yanting's eyes darkened, "Will it?"
He couldn't believe it. In the past two years, Jiang Xu always gave gifts as soon as possible, but why did he forget this year?
"Yes, she likes you so much, she must have been delayed by something."
Gao Cheng spoke with certainty.
He Yanting played with the pen, a chilling smile on his lips: "If it's not what you said, hehe..."
Gao Cheng's heart skipped a beat.
But on second thought, Jiang Xu's heart and eyes were full of President He, so it was not an exaggeration to say that he was a bootlicker.
Even though Mr. He was so cold to her before, she still tried to cling to him. Some time ago, she even begged to accompany Mr. He to a dinner party.
"Mr. He, how about I go and give it a try?" Gao Cheng asked respectfully.
He Yanting waved his hand: "No need."
He decided to go and ask in person after get off work.
In Gao Cheng's eyes, this meant that Mr. He didn't care whether Jiang Xu gave him a gift or not.
He shrugged his shoulders. It turned out that he was overthinking it. Mr. He hated Jiang Xu, so why would he suddenly change his personality?
As for what happened last night and this morning, there may be other reasons.
After get off work, Jiang Xu was packing up when He Yanting called.
"Wait a minute, we'll have dinner together tonight."
The man's magnetic and steady voice came from the receiver.
Jiang Xu said: "Sorry, I'm busy."
He Yanting frowned: "No time? What are you going to do?"
Jiang Xu: "Study."
After saying that, he hung up the phone with a click.
In the president's office, He Yanting held the hung-up phone and was stunned for five seconds.
I called again unwillingly, but no one answered.
This woman...
Gao Cheng walked in with documents in his arms: "Mr. He, I've just informed everyone that the meeting will be postponed for two hours."
He Yanting said with a gloomy expression: "No need to postpone, it will start in five minutes."
Elevation:?
"yes."
He turned and walked out of the office, scratched his head, and said to himself: "Strange, why is Mr. He a little moody lately?"
Two days later, Qin Zifei returned to China.
But there was a problem with the hotel that Jiang Xu had booked in advance. The private room was temporarily unavailable, so she had to urgently ask Mrs. He for help and finally booked a private room in a hotel under Shengyu Group.
She originally wanted to go to the airport to greet him in person, but it happened that an old classmate went to the airport for business and happened to pick up Qin Zifei on the way.
Qin Zifei said earnestly on the phone: "You, now is the time to hurry up and choose a major and study. Don't waste time picking me up."
Jiang Xu could almost imagine the pretentiousness he had when he spoke, and smiled, "I understand, Senior Qin."
Seeing that the time was almost up, she took her gifts and set off for the hotel.
I thought the distance was not far and I had plenty of time, but I didn't expect there would be a traffic jam on the road.
When we arrived at the hotel, it was already the agreed time.
Qin Zifei has always been very strict about time. If you are one minute late, you will be drowned in his spit. Jiang Xu doesn't want to be nagged by him.
With a ding, the elevator door opened and she rushed out.
"Turn left and go to the second room."
She silently recited the direction while looking for the box. Finally she arrived, took a deep breath, and pushed the door open.
Then, he froze in place.
Not only her, but everyone in the box looked at her in surprise.
Zhuang Ze was drinking and choked when he saw her: "Fuck... the ghost is still there, and they can even find this?"
Lin Yue touched his nose and said, "It's Xue Ruo's birthday, why is she here?"
Huo Qiyu didn't move, pretending to be invisible.
In the main seat opposite, Jiang Xueruo was wearing a pink princess dress and a birthday crown on her head, blinking at her.
He Yanting stood beside her, holding a lighter in his hand, and seemed to be helping her light the candle.
There were also a few familiar people, all surrounding Jiang Xueruo, with expressions of blessing frozen on their faces.
It took Jiang Xu several seconds to realize that he had accidentally barged into Jiang Xueruo's birthday party.
He Yanting put down his lighter and walked towards her: "Why are you here?"
Before Jiang Xu could move her lips, Jiang Xueluo said, "She must have seen the circle of friends I posted."
Lin Yue tutted his words and whispered, "Why didn't you block her when you posted it?"
Zhuang Ze said with a half-smile: "Today is Xue Ruo's birthday. The last birthday party was interrupted, and Fourth Brother promised to compensate Sister Xue Ruo. Don't get me wrong."
Jiang Xu looked at the different expressions of the people, as if he were an alien invader.
She raised her chin slightly and said nonchalantly, "First of all, Jiang Xueruo, I have blocked your circle of friends a long time ago. I am not interested in what you usually do. Don't be so self-indulgent."
"Also, I just took a wrong turn, I didn't misunderstand anything. I hope you have a good time."
"Goodbye."
After saying that, she turned and left.
"Wait a moment."
He Yanting grabbed her arm, his eyes flickering as he looked at the gift in her hand. "What is that?"
