Chapter 44 Chapter 44 Are you still free to accompany that Daji...
Of course not.
If it were really that simple, Ji Qian would have nodded when he asked, "Have the test results been found?"
He remained silent because he felt guilty and his intentions were impure, so that some of his thoughts had become absurd.
After saying this, Chi Ke didn't make things difficult for him anymore. He sat up, packed his things and went home.
He originally wanted to just fall asleep there. There was a lounge next to him, so Ji Qian could carry him over to sleep.
He didn't expect Ji Qian to be so bold to express such thoughts, so he continued talking. When the conversation became so ambiguous, it would be too inhumane to just ignore it and fall asleep. So even though he was very sleepy, he still took a taxi and left.
As for what Ji Qian would think next, that was not within his consideration.
Now that you are an adult, you will eventually grow up with your brain.
Driving while tired is a bad idea. He values his life and does not drive.
So when he went to have dinner with Ansel the next day, he only gave him a pair of car keys.
"No, buddy, you want me to go get it myself? Where? Hospital?" Ansel condemned, "That's too much!"
Chi Ke took out two parking cards and three gas cards: "I'm going on a business trip this afternoon. Thank you for your trouble."
"Well, we're friends? No problem, no problem." Ansel smiled happily. "A business trip again? Where are you going?"
Chi Ke: "A project manager in the neighboring city has a severe cold. I am afraid something might happen during the dinner party tonight, so I will go there in person and will be back the day after tomorrow."
There will be a meeting the day after tomorrow regarding Xu Lemian’s business development in the second half of the year, and Leng Yunting requires him to attend.
Ansel expressed deep sympathy: "Your Majesty, you are so busy, can you still spend time with that Daji?"
Apparently he was still obsessed with the fact that his friend had spent all his money on an emerald brooch.
Chi Ke: “Tsk.”
Ansel's words came true. After being busy for a few days, he really had no time to pay attention to Ji Qian.
Ji Qian is not at all thoughtful when he should be.
After knowing his schedule, she didn't mention anything about what happened that night and quietly helped him prepare the necessary connections and itinerary.
[The Great Gitzby: This is the hacker's contact information. ]
[The Great Gitzby: These two documents are the hospital's expenditure budget for the next quarter.]
[The Great Gitzby: There is another contract that needs to be discussed. I will contact you when you are done. ]
[The Great Gitzby: Chi Yuanfan and his friends will arrive the day after tomorrow morning, taking the high-speed train. I’ll send you the train number later.]
【k: Got it. 】
【k: Thank you for your hard work. 】
[The Great Gitzby: Not hard, not hard~]
[The Great Gitzby: You]
[The Great Gitzby: Have you slept well these days? ]
【K: Yeah, not bad. 】
【K: What? Are you suffering from insomnia? 】
It took Gitzby a moment to reply.
【The Great Gitzby: I'm fine too. 】
Really straight?
Chi Ke chuckled and ignored it.
He would not let personal matters interfere with his work, and it would be a waste to focus on things that have already happened.
This time, Ji Qian was just worrying about nothing and judging others by his own standards.
It's better to worry about yourself instead of taking this time.
"Chi Zhu," Secretary Sun came jogging from behind, panting, "You old man are still walking here? Hurry up, the meeting is about to start."
"Didn't you see the notification on the software?" Chi Ke said calmly, "Boss Leng and the young master haven't left the house yet. The parties involved haven't arrived yet, so the meeting can't be held."
Secretary Sun: "...haven't left yet?"
Chi Ke: “Yeah.”
According to reliable information revealed by the housekeeper, the two had just quarreled about their outfits five minutes ago - Leng Yunting wanted Xu Lemian to wear a refreshing and beautiful T-shirt and shorts, but Xu Lemian insisted on wearing a retro and classic shirt and short boots.
During the quarrel, Leng Yunting's specially selected Su Jin cotton brand T-shirt was torn by Xu Lemian. He suddenly became furious and tore off the shirt that the person had just put on, dragged him into the bedroom and did some unspeakable things to him.
After learning about the delay, Chi Ke immediately notified the meeting participants and called Leng Yunting.
If the housekeeper hadn't notified them in time, a group of people would be staring at each other in the conference room. Among them were several big bosses. As the president's special assistant, wouldn't he have to apologize to them one by one?
How can it be possible to just leave the office workers in the company and enjoy yourself?
Leng Yunting didn’t answer the first call.
The second, third, and fourth ones were not picked up either.
Chi Ke continued to call without any joy or sadness.
Finally, after who knows how many times, Leng Yunting picked up the phone and asked in a rough voice, "Are you fucking sick?"
"It's time for the meeting, Mr. Leng." Chi Ke said as he made coffee, "We're all waiting for you."
It must be unpleasant to be interrupted.
It's okay to be unhappy.
"Fuck! Why are you rushing me? Don't you know what to do? Hiss... Lie down and don't turn around." Leng Yunting really didn't treat Chi Ke as an outsider. "Let's postpone the meeting."
Chi Ke: "How long will it take?"
"Don't you know what's going on?" Leng Yunting said and hung up.
Chi Ke: “?”
How come I don’t know that I know what’s going on?
It took more than half an hour to get here from the villa where they lived. Considering the need to leave enough time for the two of them, Chi Ke thought about it and implicitly pushed it back two hours.
One hour later.
"Where are the people?" Leng Yunting sat in the main seat of the conference room with a gloomy face, glaring at Chi Chike.
Chi Ke pinched the bridge of his nose: "Sorry, I estimated the time wrong."
He has neither seen the entire film nor experienced it himself, so what can he know?
Leng Yunting pointed at him for a long time and said, "You've been putting it off for two hours and you still called me to urge me? If it weren't for your call, would I have finished it so hastily and rushed over here in such a hurry?"
Chi Ke really learned something in this strange way: "I'll know next time."
"Forget it." Leng Yunting let him go, leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes and rested, and did not pay any attention to Xu Lemian beside him the whole time. It seemed that he was still angry.
Xu Lemian was wearing casual sportswear, with his head down, his ears and neck red, twisting and turning in his chair.
Chi Ke would not give himself any more trouble if his boss did not say so. However, Xu Lemian kept moving, and the chair legs made a harsh friction sound against the ground, which made his back numb. He had no choice but to pass a pillow over from the side: "Do you need it?"
Xu Lemian raised his head blankly: "Chi Zhu..."
"Take it if you need it." Chi Ke refused to perform a thank you show for a pillow. "Put your mood and expression in order. Someone will come soon."
Xu Lemian said "OK" and slowly stood up to put the pillow down, but the pillow slipped off the chair to the ground. He bent down with a painful look on his face to pick it up.
The employer's wife couldn't even put the pillow in the right place. Chi Ke was in even more pain than him and glared at Leng Yunting coldly.
Leng Yunting was unhappy: "What are you doing?"
Chi Ke raised his chin and pointed at Xu Lemian beside him.
"Tsk." Leng Yunting reluctantly bent down to pick up the pillow beside his legs and put it on the chair.
Xu Lemian breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you, Mr. Ting... Mr. Leng."
"Sit down." Leng Yunting said calmly, "Next time, wear whatever I tell you to wear. Don't go against me every day. You're causing me a lot of trouble. I have to arrange your business cooperation every day. It's very tiring."
"……knew."
People entered the meeting room one after another, and Xu Lemian tried not to cry.
Halfway through the meeting, he could no longer hold it in and turned his head to wipe away his tears.
"What's going on with Le Mian?" The agent was shocked. "What happened?"
Leng Yunting frowned and looked at Chi Ke: "Send him home."
Everyone present in the conference room is a family, and everyone knows the relationship between Xu Lemian and the boss. They all watch the boss's actions and dare not raise any objections.
"Okay." Chi Ke led his men out through the back door, "Young Master, what's wrong?"
"Chi Zhu," Xu Lemian bit her lip and wiped her tears, "Should I not be with Brother Ting? There is a huge gap between us. I should have known earlier that we are not suitable. After we got together, he seemed to have become a different person. We quarreled every day..."
Chi Ke’s former friend had also said this, and he couldn’t help but sigh when he heard it.
Do people who have been heartbroken have this feeling?
Xu Lemian was still murmuring: "He used to ask me what I ate for three meals a day, and he would buy me gifts, take me to see the plays of my favorite actors, and bring me a bouquet of flowers every time we met. He... Chi Zhu, you may not imagine that we used to be so happy."
Chi Ke thought to himself: How could I not know?
I used my boss's account to ask for your three meals a day, I chose the gift, I booked the drama tickets, I was the one who accompanied you, and I made the bouquet of flowers.
My two protagonists, no one understands your love better than me.
Xu Lemian kept talking while Chi Ke listened silently, his words going in one ear and out the other, and he didn't seem to be taking them seriously.
He is just like that. He cares even if he chokes on water for the people he cares about, but he feels tired even giving a glance to the people he doesn't want to interact with.
"Sorry, I said too much." Xu Lemian wiped the corners of his eyes, "Will Chi Zhu find me annoying?"
"No, you are the boss's lover, and this is my job." The driver was waiting in front of the company early. Chi Ke opened the door for him and turned to the passenger seat.
But before the door was closed, Xu Lemian grabbed the hem of her clothes.
"Chizhu, sit in the back and keep me company for a while," Xu Lemian said softly, "is that ok?"
This is a business car. People sitting side by side in two seats will not bump into each other, let alone the dog-blood scene of the car braking and falling into each other's arms.
Chi Ke pulled out his clothes calmly and nodded.
"Mr. Leng wants to send you back to the apartment and contact you in the evening when he gets off work."
He didn't speak a word along the way, just leaning back in his seat with his eyes closed.
Of course, he was well aware of Xu Lemian's constant scrutiny, inquiry, and cautious gaze.
There were still five or six minutes to the destination, and Xu Lemian couldn't help but ask: "Chi Zhu, where are you from?"
Chi Ke raised his eyelids lightly: "Why do you ask this?"
"Curious." Xu Lemian's eyes dodged and he smiled embarrassedly, "I heard that you were born in the countryside. I'm a little curious about how you got this job."
Chi Ke looked at him quietly, and Xu Lemian felt an inexplicable chill down his spine.
When he couldn't hold back his trembling, Chi Ke mercifully looked away and said, "Study hard and make progress every day."
Xu Lemian: “…”
Xu Lemian puffed up his cheeks: "Chi Zhu, you are so boring."
Chi Ke did not deny it.
When they arrived at the place, he personally escorted Xu Lemian upstairs.
"My mother is not here," Xu Lemian asked with all his courage, "Chi Zhu, let's have a drink!"
A hint of amusement flashed across Chi Ke's eyes.
Xu Lemian was obviously not as dependent on him as before.
It can be seen that this classmate does not want to have too much contact with him, and even seems to be avoiding him. Yet he invites him to drink together. Does he want to get him drunk and get him to say something?
Chi Ke was not interested in playing with him, so he declined, "Sorry, my stomach hasn't been feeling well lately, and my doctor doesn't allow me to drink."
Xu Lemian felt very sorry, but tried hard to fight for it again: "It should be okay to drink only one sip, right? I won't tell your doctor!"
"I still think I should follow the doctor's orders." said the patient who had never followed the doctor's orders. "It's not good to make the doctor worry too much."
"Maybe your doctor's medical skills are not good enough." Xu Lemian was still trying to struggle, and took out his cell phone, "I'll ask Doctor Ji for you, tell me if you feel uncomfortable."
Chi Ke: “.”
The kid acted very quickly this time, and before he could stop him, the call had already been made.
The corridor was small and the two were not far away from each other, so Chi Ke could clearly hear the voice on the phone.
The phone rang until it was almost disconnected, and unexpectedly, it was a strange male voice: "Hello, the director is performing surgery, what can I do for you?"
Xu Lemian was anxious: "Can you let him answer the phone? I saw doctors on TV can answer the phone."
"I'm sorry," the other party said politely, "It's really inconvenient for the dean."
Xu Lemian: "Well, you are his..."
Opposite: "I'm an intern."
Xu Lemian thought, that’s okay, maybe the intern doesn’t know anything and will still say it’s okay to drink.
"Well, your dean is our family's personal doctor. May I ask you something? My assistant's stomach is just a little uncomfortable. Can she drink some wine--"
"No!!!" Ji Qian's voice came over immediately, "Chi Ke is next to you? No, he can't drink a single sip! Forget about wine, you can't even give him cold water! Do you understand?"
Xu Lemian was startled, his eyes blurred with fear: "Doctor Ji, Doctor Ji? Aren't you performing surgery?"
"It just happened to end." Ji Qian opened his lips and said, "Chi Ke, Chi Ke? Can you hear me?"
"Yeah." Chi Ke held back his laughter.
"Don't drink." Ji Qian said viciously, "The wound on your wrist hasn't healed yet. If you dare to drink, I'll arrest you and bring you to the hospital!"
"Got it. Just do your thing. I have something else to do here. I won't bother you anymore. Let's talk later." Chi Ke raised his hand to hang up the phone and narrowed his eyes. "Can we go back and rest now, young master?"
Xu Lemian closed the door unwillingly.
Chi Ke turned around and walked straight towards the stairwell without pressing the elevator button.
Pushing open the fire door, he smiled at the shocked woman who was standing there in a daze: "Aunt Xu, I was busy with work last time and didn't have time to greet you formally."
Xu Pei, Xu Lemian's mother, looked at him with wide eyes, put down her cigarette, and forced a smile: "Assistant Chi, you are too polite. Why are you greeting me? How can I delay your work?"
"Aunt Xu, don't you recognize me?" Chi Ke leaned his shoulder against the wall, standing casually. He took out a Zippo lighter, opened the lid and lit it with one hand, played with it in his hand for a while, and held the body of the lighter steadily.
The flames shuttled between the slender knuckles, which was terrifying to watch.
Xu Pei was silent for two seconds, put the cigarette butt into his mouth, bit it twice before holding it in his mouth.
Seeing that Chi Ke had no intention of bending down to help her light the cigarette, she had no choice but to move closer with the cigarette in her mouth, stand on tiptoes, and reach for the flame.
The bright sparks were particularly eye-catching in the dim stairwell. Chi Ke raised the corners of his lips and said nonchalantly, "Chi Zhengbing came to see me two days ago."
Xu Pei subconsciously held his breath, was choked by the smoke, and started coughing violently, with cigarette ash falling on his beautiful leather boots.
Chi Ke smiled and said, "Since Ms. Xu doesn't recognize me, why should she tell him about my work and home address?"
