Chapter 59.
After the two of them finished breakfast, Xu Baiqing wanted to continue staying with Qian Yirong, but Qian's mother called her, so Xu Baiqing had to leave Qian Yirong reluctantly.
Although Qian Yirong was reluctant at first, she was more relieved. After all, in order to cover up the marks left by Xu Baiqing on her shoulders and neck, she could only wear high-necked clothes to cover them up. But in the current weather, isn't it strange to wear such clothes?
Fortunately, Xu Baiqing didn't ask any questions, otherwise Qian Yirong would not be able to make up a good excuse to fool her. Now that Xu Baiqing has returned, she has time to wait for the mark on her body to disappear.
Qian Yirong tugged at her collar. Although the air conditioner was on in the house, she still felt a little hot like this. Just as she was about to go back to her room to change clothes, her cell phone rang. When Qian Yirong picked up the phone and saw the caller ID, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.
"Xue'er?" Qian Yirong answered the phone.
"Sister Rongrong, the contract has been drafted. Please take a look at it first and we can discuss it if there are any questions." Qu Xueer's voice was a little hoarse, but she was talking about serious matters.
"I understand, but..." Qian Yirong hesitated for a moment, then asked cautiously, "Were you okay yesterday?"
"Well..." Qu Xueer's voice was hoarse but also a little happy. She said, "It's hard to explain it in a few words over the phone. Let's talk about it when we meet to sign the contract."
"Okay." Qian Yirong heard Qu Xueer's tone and didn't seem to indicate there was any big problem, so she agreed to her suggestion to discuss it in detail after they met.
Qu Xueer quickly sent Qian Yirong the first draft of the contract. Qian Yirong was very familiar with this kind of business contract. She quickly picked out the ambiguous clauses in the contract and finalized them after discussing them with Qu Xueer and the lawyer.
Lawyer Yang, who drafted the contract for them, felt that Qian Yirong was more sophisticated than many successful people she had met before after talking with her. She couldn't believe that Qian Yirong was still in school.
Qian Yirong got a satisfactory contract, so Qu Xueer invited her to go to the company in the afternoon to sign the contract. It was also a good opportunity for Qian Yirong to see the current situation of the company, so she gladly accepted it.
At noon, she had a casual lunch and went to the underground garage. She chose a low-key car to go to the address Qu Xueer sent her. The company was not in an office building in the city center, but in a more remote suburb. It did not even choose the Qu family's industry, but rented an ordinary floor of a building.
Qian Yirong drove to the suburban building. When she entered, she saw a woman in a business suit coming up to her. She asked, "Is this Miss Qian?" Seeing Qian Yirong nod, she added, "Boss Qu asked me to pick you up."
Qian Yirong followed her into the elevator and soon arrived at the floor where the company was located. She swiped the employee ID card that was always around her neck, which was also the access card, to open the company's door. Zhou Rongruan, who introduced herself as Qu Xueer's secretary, took her to the office inside.
Qian Yirong followed Zhou Rongruan's footsteps while observing the company's situation. The workstations were neatly arranged and the people sitting at their workstations looked serious. There was a sense of prosperity. Qian Yirong judged that this was a company with room for development.
Arriving at the office door, Zhou Rongruan knocked on it. Qu Xueer's voice came from inside, "Come in." Zhou Rongruan pushed open the door and entered the office with Qian Yirong.
"Mr. Qu, Miss Qian is here." Zhou Rongruan reported.
"Okay, go make two cups of coffee." Qu Xueer sat in the boss chair behind the desk, looking quite imposing.
"Okay, Mr. Qu." Zhou Rongruan said, then left the office and closed the door.
As soon as Zhou Rongruan left, Qu Xueer, who had been holding on with all her might, collapsed into the comfortable boss chair. Qian Yirong thought something had happened to her and quickly stepped forward to ask, "What's wrong with you? Are you okay?"
"Nothing, just a little tired," Qu Xueer replied embarrassedly. She quickly changed the subject and pointed to the folder on the table and said, "This is the revised contract. What do you think of it?"
Qian Yirong could tell that Qu Xueer was trying to change the subject, but she still followed her lead and picked up the folder on the table, which contained the revised contract they had discussed in the morning. After confirming that the contract was to her liking, Qian Yirong wanted to inform Qu Xueer that she could sign the contract.
But when she looked up, she saw Qu Xueer asleep in the boss chair. Qian Yirong looked at the tiredness on her face and did not wake her up. She picked up the coffee that Zhou Rongruan had just brought her and took a sip, intending to wait until she woke up before talking about other things.
Qu Xueer never thought that she would fall asleep in the chair, even though this chair was the most comfortable one she had carefully selected. However, no matter how comfortable the chair was, it would still be uncomfortable to sleep like this.
Qu Xueer felt sore all over her body. When she looked up, she saw Qu Xueer sitting on the sofa, looking at the folder in her hand seriously. Thinking that she was still looking at the contract, Qu Xueer stood up and stretched her body.
"Sister Rongrong, how do you think the contract is going?" Qu Xueer called out.
"Are you awake?" Qian Yirong came back to her senses and put the folder aside. She said to Qu Xueer, "Our contract is fine. Since you fell asleep, I didn't ask you to sort out the documents on your desk."
Only then did Qu Xueer discover that there were several piles of folders on Qian Yirong's desk. Qu Xueer walked in puzzled and found that Qian Yirong had processed all the documents that Qian Yirong had sent to her in the past few days.
"Sister Rongrong, have you finished everything?!" Qu Xueer exclaimed. In the past, it would take her and Xu Baiqing two or three days to deal with so many documents.
"Well, I've categorized them and also given some of my own suggestions. You can deal with them as you see fit." Qian Yirong said.
"What do you mean by 'just watch and handle it'?" Qu Xue'er said immediately with dissatisfaction, "Didn't we agree that Sister Rongrong can handle the company's affairs according to your wishes in the future? Why are you saying such a distant thing?"
"We haven't signed the contract yet, and I'm not..." Qian Yirong said it was unreasonable.
"What's the big deal?" Qu Xue'er said, picking up the contract that Qian Yirong had put aside and turning to the last signature area, she signed her name in a few strokes and handed it to Qian Yirong, looking at her expectantly, "Once you sign it, we can be open and aboveboard."
Qian Yirong looked at Qu Xueer's expectant expression, took the pen she handed over, and signed her name on the contract. Qu Xueer looked at her and the smile on her face got even bigger.
"That's great. With you and me... I won't be so busy anymore." Qu Xueer almost let the cat out of the bag and revealed Xu Baiqing, but fortunately she stopped in time. However, Qian Yirong noticed it.
"You can't just leave everything to me. You still need to understand the company's situation with the other partner." Qian Yirong reminded.
"I know, I know," Qu Xueer nodded perfunctorily. She said, "I wanted to talk to you for a while after signing the contract, but I fell asleep. But it's not too late now. I'll treat you to dinner and let's talk about what happened yesterday."
If Qu Xueer hadn't fallen asleep, she really wouldn't have been able to endure it until now. There were some things she couldn't tell others. Only people who knew the inside story like Qian Yirong and Xu Baiqing could confide in them.
"Okay." Qian Yirong did not refuse.
"By the way, where is Sister Bai Qing? Should we invite her along?" Qu Xueer asked. After all, they were inseparable before.
"Bai Qing has been called back by the Qian family. It may not be easy for him to come out. Let's just go with the two of us." Qian Yirong said.
It’s not that she doesn’t want to call Xu Baiqing, she just needs some time to digest it, and also wait for the marks on her body to disappear, so that she will feel more natural.
"Okay, then it's just the two of us. Did Sister Rongrong drive here?" Qu Xueer asked.
"Yeah." Qian Yirong nodded.
"I recently found a restaurant with delicious food. I'll lead the way for a while. Sister Rongrong, don't get lost." Qu Xueer said.
"Don't worry." Qian Yirong replied.
The two of them came to the underground garage, and soon the two cars left one after the other. Qian Yirong followed Qu Xueer, and after driving around in circles for an unknown amount of time, they finally arrived at a place that looked like a small courtyard.
"This is it." Qu Xueer said as she got out of the car.
Qian Yirong looked at the ordinary-looking courtyard and felt a little excited. After all, Qu Xueer always found some "good places". Qu Xueer walked forward and knocked on the door.
"It's Miss Qu." The person who opened the door seemed to know Qu Xueer and greeted her.
"Brother Meng, is Master Yu here?" Qu Xueer asked familiarly.
"You came at the right time. Master Yu is here." Xiao Meng replied.
"Then let's get a private room like last time." After Qu Xueer said that, she took Qian Yirong into the courtyard.
Unexpectedly, the courtyard looked plain from the outside, but it was a different world inside. The landscaping had some artistic conception of Suzhou gardens. Qian Yirong saw Qu Xueer chatting with that little Meng very skillfully, and felt that Qu Xueer was indeed a social terrorist. As long as she wanted to, she could chat with anyone. Little Meng took the two of them to the box, chatted for a few more words, and left soon.
"Sister Rongrong, Master Yu comes from a family of royal chefs and is the best chef here. He is here today and you will be able to taste his cooking soon." Qu Xueer introduced.
"It doesn't look like you just discovered this place and have figured everything out." Qian Yirong joked. After all, Qu Xueer seemed to be familiar with the waiters, and it didn't look like she had just discovered it.
"I discovered this place by chance. I happened to meet Master Yu when I went fishing, and that's how I got to know this place. You know, this place is only passed down by word of mouth among gourmets, and people who don't know it can't even get to the door." Qu Xueer said.
After all, I came to this small courtyard not to make money, but for hobby, so I don’t care about the turnover. If no one leads the way, I can’t really find the place. Qu Xueer is lucky to have met Master Yu, otherwise she would not know about this place.
