Chapter 629 Jiang Budu x Tang Qing if line (HE version)
The bank clocks in at 8:30 in the morning. Thanks to Jiang Budu, her apartment is right next to the bank, only a ten-minute walk away, so she can stay in bed.
But today is not the day to stay in bed. There is a yoga class this morning, and Tang Qing set the alarm clock for 6:30.
She was woken up by the alarm clock. When she opened her eyes, she saw Jiang Budu staring at her face. After a night, there were more red bloodshot under his eyes, and his eyes were dark blue. Some stubble had grown on his chin.
...He looked like he hadn't slept all night. Could he have just been staring at her all night?
Tang Qing tried to imagine the scene and found it a bit creepy.
"Wake up." Jiang Budu pressed the alarm on her phone for her. "It's only half past six. You can sleep a little longer. I'll wake you up when the time comes."
"I have a yoga class at 7 o'clock." Tang Qing said, "I have to get up and go to class."
Jiang Budu: "Okay, then I'll go with you——"
"The yoga studio I signed up for only accepts women." Tang Qing quickly interrupted him, "Just go about your business."
Jiang Budu: "I'm not busy."
He hugged her tighter and said, "Then go to class. I'll wait for you outside and take you to the bank after class."
Tang Qing's scalp tingled. She was really not used to him being like this: "No, it's only ten minutes away."
Besides, she didn't want her colleagues to see her having private contact with Jiang Budu. There had been enough rumors before. She came here just for initial training and didn't want to cause too much trouble.
"You don't want me to see you off." Jiang Budu narrowed his eyes and looked at Tang Qing, "Is someone gossiping about you?"
Tang Qing shook his head. "I can't control what others say. Anyway, I will be back to the North City headquarters in half a year. It doesn't matter..."
"Okay, I won't see you off." Jiang Budu ruffled her hair. "Do you want to go to the yoga studio after dinner or eat after class?"
Tang Qing: "Eat after class."
"What do you want to eat?" he asked again.
Tang Qing: "I——"
"I bought breakfast and am waiting for you outside the yoga studio. What would you like to eat?" Jiang Budu guessed that she was going to refuse, so he interrupted her.
Tang Qing was helpless, "Aren't you going to work?"
Jiang Budu: "I'm the boss."
Tang Qing: “…”
Tang Qing couldn't persuade Jiang Budu, so he finally told him his usual breakfast configuration: a Starbucks sandwich and American coffee.
Jiang Budu wrote it down and asked her when the get out of class would end before letting her get up.
Tang Qing washed up and went out. The yoga studio was right at the entrance of the community. Today's class was Yin Yoga. She couldn't concentrate throughout the class, and her mind was full of Jiang Budu's abnormal behavior.
After an hour of class, she could hardly remember what poses she had done in class.
After class, Tang Qing changed her clothes in the locker room and walked out of the yoga studio carrying her tote bag.
As soon as I came out, I saw Jiang Budu standing at the bottom of the stairs holding a Starbucks paper bag.
Tang Qing glanced at the time, 8:05.
As soon as Jiang Budu saw Tang Qing, he quickly walked up to her and asked, "How about we eat in my car?"
"No need, I'll take it to work to eat." Tang Qing waved his hand.
"You really don't need me to take you there?" Jiang Budu asked again.
Tang Qing waved his hand again.
"Then be careful on the road." Jiang Budu handed her the bag, "Let's have dinner together today."
Tang Qing: "...Okay."
Jiang Budu was so enthusiastic that she felt embarrassed to act too cold. "You should drive carefully too. I'm leaving now."
Jiang Budu said "hmm".
He got into the car but didn't start it immediately. He watched Tang Qing walk for a long time before starting the car.
Half an hour later, Jiang Budu arrived at the branch office.
It was not yet time to go to work and there were not many people in the company. When he walked out of the elevator, he ran into Xu Jiang who had come early to prepare for the meeting.
Xu Jiang was shocked when he saw Jiang Budu's dark circles and bloodshot eyes: "Boss Jiang, did you not sleep well last night?"
Jiang Budu stared at Xu Jiang, feeling that the person in front of him was both familiar and unfamiliar.
Xu Jiang also followed him right after graduation. He was the same age as Tang Qing and had just started working. It was because of his experience in the branch that Jiang Budu promoted him to Beicheng.
At this time, Xu Jiang was only 24 years old and still very young.
"...Mr. Jiang?" Xu Jiang was frightened by Jiang Budu's stare. His back felt numb and he thought he had done something wrong.
"Please contact the leader of Ruifeng Bank, the one who had dinner with me a few times before." It had been so long that Jiang Budu could not remember his name.
"Are you talking about Manager Zhang? Or President Qin?" Xu Jiang asked one by one.
Jiang Budu: "Let's contact both of them and have lunch together. Just tell them that I have something to do."
Xu Jiang: "Okay, I'll do it right away."
…
Jiang's group was a major client of Ruifeng Bank, and branches in several cities had cooperation with them. Jiang Budu proposed a meeting at noon, and President Qin and Manager Zhang immediately agreed.
A little after noon, Jiang Budu, accompanied by Xu Jiang, met the two at a restaurant near the company.
As soon as the four of them sat down in the box, Manager Zhang and President Qin took turns shaking hands with Jiang Budu.
"Mr. Jiang asked us to come here. Is there any problem with our business?" Manager Zhang asked considerately.
Jiang Budu shook his head and politely poured tea for the two of them. "I asked you two to come here because I have some personal matters that I want to trouble you with."
Private matter?
Manager Zhang and President Qin looked at each other, exchanged glances, and vaguely guessed something.
Although they were not present at the scene when Jiang Budu acted as a hero to save the beauty, they had heard about it from other people in the industry.
In addition, there have been a lot of "rumors" about Jiang Budu and the new employee recently - could it be that this matter has offended him?
Manager Zhang asked cautiously, "Is there someone in the bank who's spreading rumors about Mr. Jiang's private life behind his back? I'll go back and clean up their mess—"
"I don't mind, but I don't want my girlfriend to be wronged by these rumors." Jiang Budu interrupted him, "I'll trouble you with this matter."
Manager Zhang and President Qin looked at each other again, and this time both of them were filled with shock.
President Qin: "Is that newcomer in the bank your girlfriend, Mr. Jiang?"
Jiang Budu: "Well, we have been together for many years. I came to Haicheng because of her."
"She's relatively low-key, but I can't bear to see her suffer any injustice." Jiang Budu smiled and looked at the two of them meaningfully, "Thank you for your help."
"Understood." President Qin also nodded with a smile, "Leave this matter to me. I will handle it myself."
Jiang Budu nodded, "Thank you for your hard work."
Xu Jiang stood by and listened to Jiang Budu's words, completely confused.
After lunch, Xu Jiang sent the two bank leaders away and returned to Jiang Budu, still looking confused.
Jiang Budu seemed to see a string of question marks above his head.
"Do you have any questions?" Jiang Budu asked.
Xu Jiang uttered an "uh," "You and Tang Qing...didn't you just meet recently?"
"No." Jiang Budu shook his head.
Xu Jiang: "Ah? You two knew each other before?"
Jiang Budu curled his lips, "Yeah, we knew each other in our previous life."
Xu Jiang: “…”
He looked at Jiang Budu's dark circles and couldn't help but think that he must have become stupid from staying up late.
