Chapter 43
Ji Jinsi didn't know what Luo Qingli was thinking. Looking at her expression, he thought she was struggling.
"If you really don't want to, then wait for a while, until Jiang Ran leaves, and then you can move in." He decided not to push Luo Qingli so hard.
Luo Qingli nodded listlessly: "Okay, I'll move in after Jiang Ran leaves."
The two stopped talking and ate breakfast quietly.
After Luo Qingli suppressed the negative emotions in his heart, he remembered what Ji Jinsi had just mentioned about Jiang Ran.
"You just said that Jiang Ran is going to Mocheng? Is the movie progressing so fast?"
"I asked my assistant to check on Director Lin's progress. He seems to have decided to return to Mocheng in a week."
"So soon?"
"As a director, he has a lot to coordinate. The film was mainly shot in Melbourne, so most of the work is in Melbourne, so it is inevitable that he has to go back quickly.
As the heroine of this film, Jiang Ran needs to stay in the local area for a few days to experience the local customs and culture and get into the role better. Not to mention that the film also includes dialect performances, which she needs to learn early. Therefore, she should go to Mocheng with Director Lin.
Luo Qingli nodded to show that she understood. She said with some emotion: "I also want to go back to Mocheng. I have only been away for a while and I miss it already."
"Isn't it enough to have me here?" Ji Jinsi said softly.
"What?" Luo Qingli didn't hear clearly what Ji Jinsi said.
"Nothing. Once your cooperation with Lin Ju is over, maybe you can go back to Mo City."
Luo Qingli looked down at the half-eaten bun in the bowl and said, "Yeah, I kind of miss Mocheng's rice noodles too."
Maybe she shouldn't return to Beicheng, Mocheng is more suitable for her.
After breakfast, Ji Jinsi asked Uncle Liu to take Luo Qingli to Linju, but he did not go with them.
As soon as Luo Qingli entered the company, he saw that only Zhao Jingyu was at the front desk, and Sun Xi was nowhere to be seen.
"Hello, Mr. Luo." Zhao Jingyu smiled sweetly at Luo Qingli.
During this period, because of Feng Fang, Luo Qingli also became familiar with Zhao Jingyu, and could occasionally chat with her.
She walked over to Zhao Jingyu and asked, "Why are you alone? Where's Sun Xi?"
Zhao Jingyu hesitated for a moment before telling Luo Qingli, "She left the company. I heard she was fired by the top management. She didn't come this morning. They said someone would come to pick up her belongings at noon."
It seems that Sun Xi's brother couldn't save her either.
Zhao Jingyu thought for a moment, then leaned over to Luo Qingli's ear and whispered, "I also heard that she committed a crime and is being detained. She might be in the detention center now."
This news scared Luo Qingli. She didn't expect it to be so serious.
Who did this? Ji Jinsi? Or Li Kun?
Luo Qingli smiled at Zhao Jingyu and said, "Now you're the only one at the front desk. It's going to be very busy."
"The company is already hiring, and I'm going to leave soon."
"Quitting? What happened? Did you encounter any difficulties?"
"My mother is sick and there is no one at home to take care of her, so I decided to go back to my hometown." Zhao Jingyu's voice sounded a little depressed.
"Don't you have any other relatives at home?"
"No, I come from a single-parent family, and my mother is the only one left at home."
"Perhaps, you can bring your mother to live in North City?" After all, Zhao Jingyu's job pays well, and Luo Qingli also heard that the company intends to recruit her for the publicity position, and her future prospects are very good.
Zhao Jingyu shook his head and said, "My mother is still used to living in Mocheng. The climate there is more suitable for her. The winter in Beicheng is too cold for her."
"So your hometown is in Mo City!"
"Yeah, my hometown is in a small village in Mocheng, and I'm the only person from our village who comes to Beicheng to work." Zhao Jingyu's face was full of pride when he said this.
But after a while, she lowered her head again and said, "It's a pity. I can only go back to Mo City now. I'm afraid I can't find a job and can't support my mother."
Luo Qingli thought for a moment and said, "If you want, you can join my company. Although Mozhu is not as big as Linju, it is still a good job in Mocheng."
Zhao Jingyu's eyes lit up, "Boss Luo, are you telling the truth?"
Seeing the little girl's happy expression, Luo Qingli's mood also improved.
"Yes, what I said is true. We at Mozhu are still lacking a professional in operations and publicity. I think you have a lively personality and are steady and efficient. You should be able to do this job well, right?"
Zhao Jingyu nodded repeatedly and said, "I can do it. To be honest, I'm still running a short video account with 400,000 followers. I believe I can do this job well!"
"Then I accidentally picked up a treasure?" Luo Qingli joked.
Zhao Jingyu touched his head embarrassedly.
"It just so happens that the other person in charge of Mozhu will be returning to Mocheng next week. I'll leave his phone number with you. Please contact him when you return to Mocheng."
"Okay, thank you, Mr. Luo!"
Having received a good helper for Mozhu, Luo Qingli's originally unhappy mood immediately brightened up, and his perfume-making became more and more successful.
In the following week, Ji Jinsi seemed to be busy with other things and did not show up again. Li Kun said that he went abroad again.
The Ji Group established a high-tech company in Country A, but the Jiang family is competing with the Ji Group for territory.
The Jiang family has been in Country A longer than the Ji family, so they are doing their best to suppress the Ji family. Ji Jinsi is probably very worried about this.
However, these things did not affect Luo Qingli. She was advancing the perfume-making work in an orderly manner. When she was free, she would make video calls to chat with Xiaobao. Her life was quite fulfilling.
More than a week later, Jiang Ran was about to leave, and she invited Luo Qingli to the restaurant where they first met.
"After trying so many restaurants, this one still suits my taste better." Jiang Ran sighed after taking a bite of steak.
Luo Qingli nodded in agreement.
"After this meal, I may not be able to eat again for several months. Qingli, there should be a lot of delicious food in Mocheng, right?"
"Of course, there are many special foods that you have never tasted before."
"That's good." Jiang Ran smiled happily.
After a while, Jiang Ran seemed to have thought of something and said to Luo Qingli, "Have you heard that several of the cooperation plans that the Zhao family and the Ji family had originally agreed on fell through?"
Luo Qingli was a little surprised, "No, where did you hear this news?"
"Don't worry about that. Tell me, could it be that Ji Jinsi is standing up for you? Zhao Yanran framed you twice, and only canceled a few collaborations. It's not a big deal."
Luo Qingli shook his head and said, "Don't think too much. These business matters have nothing to do with love. As long as there is profit, two people can cooperate even if they are enemies. Besides, do you think Ji Jinsi is the kind of person who would ignore the entire company just to vent his anger for a woman?"
Jiang Ran thought about it, shook his head and said, "I can't imagine Ji Jinsi being like those domineering CEOs described in novels, always getting angry. It's not like Ji Jinsi at all."
"Right, so don't think I'm that important. In his heart, I'm definitely at the bottom of the list."
"Qingli, how's your work at Linju going? Is it about to end? I really want you to come back to Mocheng and play with me."
"It's almost finished. Things are going better than I expected. It will probably be completely wrapped up in another week or two."
"That's great!" Jiang Ran smiled with his eyes curved.
On the way, Luo Qingli went to the bathroom. Unexpectedly, when he came out and passed by a private room, he happened to meet Jiang Yao who opened the door.
This was the first time Luo Qingli met Jiang Yao since that dinner.
He was wearing a burgundy short-sleeved coat today, which still had an extremely stylish asymmetrical design and a wide neckline.
He had dyed his hair pure blonde and his earlobes sparkled with black diamond studs.
Luo Qingli was stunned and lowered his head. He was about to pretend not to see it and walk away, but was stopped by a hand.
"Luo Qingli, long time no see." Jiang Yao's cold voice sounded above her head.
Luo Qingli took a step back, put on a proper smile, looked at Jiang Yao and said, "Long time no see, Mr. Jiang."
Jiang Yao smiled coldly, took a step forward and said, "I didn't expect that you were someone close to Ji Jinsi. No wonder I didn't like you from the beginning."
"I'm not money, and I don't expect everyone to like me. If Mr. Jiang doesn't like me, he can just pretend not to see me next time. Besides, Mr. Ji and I are just partners. I'm not his person as you said. I hope Mr. Jiang will know this."
"Oh, interesting. Luo Qingli, do you know that you embarrassed me in front of so many people that night?"
"Young Master Jiang is so handsome, he looks good in any outfit, so how can he be embarrassed?"
Jiang Yao raised his eyebrows, stretched out his hand and pinned Luo Qingli to the wall on one side. A dangerous light flashed in his eyes. He lowered his head and approached Luo Qingli and said, "Luo Qingli, I find that you are really eloquent. Even I can't beat you."
Luo Qingli crossed his arms in front of his chest, moved as close to the wall as possible, and said away from Jiang Yao, "Mr. Jiang, you're too kind. It was just an instinctive reaction."
Jiang Yao stared at Luo Qingli's face for a long time, as if he wanted to stare a hole in it. After a while, he raised the corner of his lips and said, "I suddenly realized that looking at you this way, you are indeed very beautiful. No wonder Ji Jinsi, that wooden stake, fell in love with you."
"I'm just average looking, how can I compare to you, Mr. Jiang, who's so handsome."
"Well, what you said is quite right. Since you have eyes, I won't pursue the matter of you dragging me into this trouble."
"Thank you, Mr. Jiang. You are so magnanimous. Can you let me go now?" Luo Qingli reached out and pushed his chest.
Jiang Yao remained motionless. He seemed to have come up with a good idea, and with a playful smile, he said, "Luo Qingli, how about this? Instead of following Ji Jinsi, why don't you follow me? Compared to that wooden Ji Jinsi, I'm much gentler towards women, especially my woman."
Jiang Yao's words sounded very scary in Luo Qingli's ears. She didn't think that Jiang Yao was attracted to her at all, but wanted to take revenge on her.
"I'm sorry, I..."
Before Luo Qingli could finish his words, he heard a low chuckle: "Young Master Jiang, please respect yourself."
A hand pushed Jiang Yao away and pulled her into his arms.
