Chapter 7 His Thoughtfulness
Huo Sili paused slightly, and Jiang Qin walked forward, just about to ask him where he put the gift Xie Youan gave him.
But before she could finish her words, she suddenly felt a dull pain in her abdomen again. The pain was stronger than the previous one, and Jiang Qin's face turned pale almost instantly.
She subconsciously covered her abdomen to transfer the heat to make herself more comfortable, and bent her waist slightly.
In her peripheral vision, the man paused for a moment and then strode forward. Jiang Qin raised her eyes to look.
There was a dull sound of a door closing, and Horsley's figure disappeared from her sight, cold and resolute.
“……”In fact, they were very close just now.
If he had just tilted his head slightly, he would have been able to see her discomfort with his peripheral vision, but he didn't.
He didn't even glance at her. Perhaps this is the difference between the real person and the substitute.
Jiang Qin covered her abdomen for several seconds, her lips turning pale as she forced herself to pull herself away from the sadness.
After the pain subsided, she went to the bathroom to check and confirmed that there was no sign of anything. She washed her hands and went to the staff cafeteria.
She had just sat down with her tray, planning to have a quiet meal when several voices called her, "Secretary Jiang!"
Jiang Qin turned around and saw that they were people from the R&D department. These people also happened to be members of the technical team for the new products released today.
One of them left a deep impression on Jiang Qin, who was Wen Fangchan, the director of the R&D department. She was also the person who had been in contact with her when she was following up on the new product project. She was a gentle and capable older sister in her thirties, and Jiang Qin liked her very much.
"Minister Wen." Jiang Qin hurriedly returned the greeting and greeted everyone with a smile.
Wen Fangchan spoke up, her tone concerned, "Secretary Jiang, are you okay? You didn't attend the press conference this morning. I asked Mr. Huo, and he said you were not feeling well."
Jiang Qin was stunned for a moment, and suddenly the unlocked door that she saw when she looked towards the bathroom in the morning emerged in her mind.
The shouting that I heard in Yunhai Huafu last night in a half-asleep state echoed in my ears.
So, Horsley thought she was unwell, so...
"Although you are young now, you can't always stay up late. You should pay more attention to rest."
Wen Fangchan's voice continued to ring in her ears, and Jiang Qin suddenly brought herself back to her senses.
"Well, okay, thank you Sister Wen for your concern."
Well, they are about to get divorced, what's the point of her worrying about all this?
From the moment she knew that Huo Sili treated her as Bai Yueguang's substitute, she knew that there should be no future between her and this man.
Several people from the R&D department had finished their meal and were about to return to the department. They chatted for a few minutes and left after a while.
Jiang Qin started her meal. After a while, when she was about to get up to put the plate away, the phone in her pocket suddenly vibrated continuously.
Slightly confused, Jiang Qin took it out and saw that it was a message from Xie Youan.
[Jiang Qin, the gift has been left at your company’s front desk. Has the front desk contacted you? There was an urgent matter at the company this morning. I was going to send you a message, but I forgot in a hurry.]
Jiang Qin was the first to see this message. She thought about it and was about to type a reply when Xie Youan sent another paragraph.
Seeing the latest paragraph, Jiang Qin's eyes suddenly lit up and her face was instantly filled with joy.
She has had a favorite painter since junior high school.
Later in high school, she should have mentioned this to Xie Youan, who told her that the envelope in the gift box did not contain a love letter, but a ticket to the Kyoto exhibition of her favorite painter.
The painter is very famous, and the tickets themselves are not expensive, but they are in short supply and very hard to get.
The art exhibition was finally opened in her city, and she really wanted to go, but the official sales were held three times last month. She went to grab tickets in advance all three times, but failed to get one.
But unexpectedly, today, Xie Youan actually gave her such a surprise.
Jiang Qin suddenly felt very happy, expressed her sincere gratitude, and quickly replied to several messages.
Xie Youan sent a voice message, Jiang Qin clicked it, and the other party's gentle and polite voice came from the headset, just like last night.
"As long as you like it."
[I like it, I like it very much!] 】
Jiang Qin couldn't remember the last time she felt surprised.
At this moment she was really happy and a little touched. She almost forgot that she had mentioned the painter to Xie Youan, but she didn't expect that many years later, the other party not only remembered it, but also prepared a related gift for her with care.
It must have taken a lot of thought, time and energy to get that ticket. When Jiang Qin thought about it, she felt a sense of unworthiness.
After thinking for a while, Jiang Qin decided to invite Xie Youan to dinner, and she edited a message and sent it.
[I would like to treat you to a meal. When are you free next week? Tell me, let's make an appointment? 】
Maybe he was busy, Xie Youan didn't reply immediately. Jiang Qin waited for a while but didn't receive a reply, so she got up to put the food tray away and prepared to go back to the president's office first.
The elevator arrived at the designated floor. Just as Jiang Qin was about to get out, her phone vibrated. She planned to unlock it and check. As soon as she did so, the elevator door opened at the same time. A group of people gathered at the door, and voices of comfort were heard one after another.
A strong and pungent smell of perfume rushed into Jiang Qin's nose, and she frowned.
Then he noticed the woman in front of him with permed and dyed long wavy hair, and his eyebrows raised slightly.
It was Liu Wenli. Ever since she joined the company, this person seemed to dislike her. Whenever she had work dealings with her, something was bound to go wrong. At this moment, Liu Wenli was supporting a young girl and comforting her most devotedly.
It seemed as if he hadn't reacted at all as the elevator opened and she was blocking the door.
"Sister Liu, Secretary Jiang is about to come out, please make way." Until someone pushed her and said to her.
Liu Wenli then raised her head and looked over, frowning and moving aside a little, but those eyes were fixed on her.
Seeing the anger in the woman's eyes, Jiang Qin was puzzled, but didn't say anything and got out of the elevator first.
"What happened?" he asked.
"What's wrong?"
Liu Wenli snorted sarcastically and suddenly raised her voice.
"Secretary Jiang, take a look! Look at what your intern did! He beat someone up so hard that his nose bled!"
Jiang Qin's pretty eyebrows suddenly frowned.
Liu Wenli continued, "Really, lawless! Rude! Uneducated!"
Someone echoed, "That's right, I don't know how this kind of person got into the company, if it gets out, it will be on the news!"
Jiang Qin took a quick glance and recognized that the person speaking was from the same department as Liu Wenli.
She looked carefully at the girl who was supported by Liu Wenli. She was covering her nose with a tissue and her long hair covered most of her face. However, Jiang Qin recognized her after careful observation. She was Liu Wenli's intern named Li Nana.
He appeared on the list of candidates for regularization not long ago.
However, a colleague anonymously reported that when Li Nana was taking the assessment, Liu Wenli appeared outside the window halfway through. She was seen holding a mobile phone and seemed to be giving Li Nana the answers. She also suggested that this group of interns be arranged to retake the test.
She followed the procedure and sent an email to Horsley requesting a retest, but Horsley had not yet approved it.
"What's the matter, Secretary Jiang, you still don't believe it?" Perhaps because she didn't hear her speak, Liu Wenli raised her voice.
She seemed to laugh out of anger and glanced around.
"Secretary Jiang, all of us saw it! It was your intern who pushed Nana and caused her nose to bleed! You didn't say anything, are you trying to protect her?!"
