Chapter 80.
After dealing with the troublesome old fox, Qian Yirong rubbed her brows and thought of Xu Baiqing's serious expression in her office. Her tense mood relaxed and she felt that the annoyance in her heart was relieved a little.
She raised her hand and glanced at the watch on her wrist. She didn't expect the two old foxes to be so talkative. She had wasted the whole morning with them. Fortunately, she was happy to get through it. However, she didn't have much time to rest at noon, so she couldn't take Xu Baiqing out to eat, so she could only order food over.
However, Qian Yirong planned to leave work early today and take Xu Baiqing to a more formal place for dinner in the evening. She stood up and rubbed her brows, thinking that she would be fine after this busy period.
After leaving reception room No. 3, Qian Yirong vaguely heard the sound of conversation inside when approaching her office. She was stunned. Why would anyone go to her office when she was not there? Worried that something had happened, Qian Yirong pushed the door open and walked in without even knocking.
Xu Baiqing and Qu Xueer, who had been discussing how to deal with documents in the office, both of their eyes lit up when they saw Qian Yirong at the door. Xu Baiqing immediately stood up to greet her. Qu Xueer looked at Xu Baiqing, who had been beside her just now, and quickly ran over to hug Qian Yirong's arm.
"Rongrong, are you done?" After looking at the complicated documents for the whole morning and dealing with the matters on Qian Yirong's desk for a while, Xu Baiqing fully understood the difficulty and heavy workload of Qian Yirong's work.
"Well, but I have plans for the afternoon, so I ordered some food from Dingshengxuan. I'll have to ask you to eat with me in the office at noon." Qian Yirong said.
"It's okay with me. I can eat anywhere." Xu Baiqing certainly didn't feel aggrieved, she said immediately.
"Ahem, have you forgotten that I'm still here?" Qu Xueer said softly as she watched the two of them chatting as if no one was around.
"Of course I didn't forget," Xu Baiqing was a little embarrassed. How could she admit that after seeing Qian Yirong, she really forgot about Qu Xueer? She quickly said to Qian Yirong, "Rongrong, how long did it take for Xueer to come after you went to meet the guests? What do you think she came for?"
"Are you testing me?" Qian Yirong raised her eyebrows, and seeing this, Qu Xueer shut up and stood aside with her arms folded. I looked at Qian Yirong with interest, wondering if she could guess why I was here.
"Bai Qing told me yesterday that she came to the company because of the Qian family. Xue'er should be similar to her." Qian Yirong answered confidently.
"Tsk, Sister Rongrong guessed it right away, how boring." Qu Xueer said with a pout. She didn't expect that Qian Yirong knew the reason why she came over just by meeting her. This made Qu Xueer start to wonder if she was really too stupid.
"There's the previous example of Bai Qing. Besides, the Qu family extended an olive branch to me, but I rejected it. So now that you appear in front of me, I naturally think of what happened with the Qu family before." Qian Yirong explained.
"So it's the old man's fault," Qu Xue'er smoothly threw the blame onto the head of the Qu family. She immediately put the matter behind her and dug out the fake document she and Xu Baiqing had racked their brains to create from the pile of documents nearby. She handed it to Qian Yirong like she was presenting a treasure and said, "Sister Rongrong, take a look at this first."
When Qian Yirong took the file, she saw that Xu Baiqing beside her also had an expectant look on his face. Before she even opened the file, she couldn't help but become curious about what kind of file it was that made Xu Baiqing and Qu Xueer so eager to see it.
Qian Yirong opened the folder and just looked at it for a while, she couldn't help but raise her brows. Wasn't this one of the files she asked Xu Baiqing to look at? Why did she let her look at it again? After looking at it for a while, Qian Yirong realized that something was wrong.
After reading a few pages, she looked at Xu Baiqing and Qu Xueer, who were looking expectant, and asked, "Why did you two make a fake document for me?"
"Here's the thing..." Hearing Qian Yirong's question, Qu Xueer couldn't wait to tell her the plan she and Xu Baiqing had discussed in detail, and then asked, "...Sister Rongrong, do you think this document in your hand can deceive my old man and the people of the Qian family?"
"So that's how it is," Qian Yirong finally understood why the two men had come up with such a fake document. Although the means were crude, the plan was actually feasible, but there were still flaws. So she said, "There are still some problems with the document, but your plan is feasible. But do you mind if I continue your plan to trick people?"
"Are you trying to trick my old man?" Qu Xue'er not only didn't feel like she was being used, but she said happily, "I don't mind at all. I will definitely cooperate with your plan."
Although Qian Yirong knew that Qu Xueer hated the head of the Qu family, she did not expect that she would be so active in the plan to trick the head of the Qu family. Qian Yirong even wanted to give her more when returning her shares.
"Bai Qing..." Seeing that there was no problem with Qu Xueer, Qian Yirong's gaze fell on Xu Baiqing. Although it was a plan proposed by her and Qu Xueer, the plan she added later was obviously intended to take advantage of them. If Xu Baiqing felt uncomfortable, Qian Yirong could also give up that plan.
"I have no problem with that. Rongrong, you know the Qian family's situation best, so just go ahead and do whatever you want." Xu Baiqing had no objection.
In this case, Qian Yirong checked the fake documents made by Xu Baiqing and Qu Xueer and filled in the gaps, and told them why such changes were made, invisibly teaching them more knowledge.
By the time Zhou Rongruan brought the meal, Xu Baiqing and Qu Xueer both felt a little dizzy. They felt as if their brains had taken in too much knowledge beyond their current understanding. However, this sense of fulfillment from the visible progress also gave them a sense of satisfaction and fullness.
Of course, that false feeling of fullness was overwhelmed by the protest from their stomachs when they smelled the aroma of the food. They couldn't help but look at Qian Yirong eagerly, wanting to finish their meal before continuing their studies.
"Would I not let you eat? Why are you looking at me so eagerly?" Qian Yirong was speechless. Although she would sometimes forget to eat when she was busy, she would not let Xu Baiqing and Qu Xueer go hungry with her.
"Great, it's time to eat." Qu Xueer cheered and went to the table to open the takeaway box.
Dingshengxuan is a fairly famous hotel nearby, but even if the takeout is delivered quickly, it will lose its fresh-out-of-the-pot flavor. However, the three hungry people are in no mood to care about these things now. Filling their stomachs is more important.
"The food in this restaurant is average. I'll definitely go and try Master Yu's cooking when I have time." Qu Xueer commented while eating.
"Is this the small courtyard that Rongrong took me to?" Xu Baiqing asked.
"Sister Rongrong has taken you there? Did you try Master Yu's cooking?" Qu Xueer asked curiously.
"No, Master Yu was not there when we went there," Xu Baiqing replied.
"That's such a pity. If other chefs' cooking is delicious, then Master Yu's is the pinnacle. You must try it once. You know, some gourmets will go there every day just to run into Master Yu." Qu Xueer said.
"I'm even more curious now that you say that. Rongrong and I will definitely go there often." Xu Baiqing said.
Qu Xueer gave a wicked smile when she heard that. Her eyes fell on Qian Yirong and Xu Baiqing alternately. The strange meaning in her eyes made Xu Baiqing feel numb and uncomfortable all over.
Why are you looking at us like that? Xu Baiqing always felt that if she really asked out loud, Qu Xueer would say something earth-shattering, so she just communicated with Qu Xueer with her eyes.
I just want to know how far things have progressed between you and Sister Rongrong, Qu Xueer replied with a raised eyebrow. Since Xu Baiqing was shy, she wouldn't say it on purpose, but she was really curious, so she signaled with her eyes.
Xu Baiqing blushed. To be honest, she and Qian Yirong had had a lot of intimate contact, and they had even slept in the same bed together. Although there were reasons for everything, it happened anyway. They were probably just one step away from breaking the window paper between them.
Looking at Xu Baiqing's reaction, Qu Xueer guessed that she and Qian Yirong should be doing well. While she was happy for her, she also felt that her own emotional journey was really bumpy. She had kissed and hugged Chang Xian, and even confessed her feelings to her a few times, but she insisted on putting herself in the position of a younger sister, leaving Qu Xueer at a loss as to what to do.
Qian Yirong watched the two people flirting with each other. Even though she knew that their relationship was like that of bad friends, the feeling of being excluded made her very uncomfortable.
"Don't you like this?" Qian Yirong said as she picked up some food for Xu Baiqing.
"Thank you, Rongrong." Xu Baiqing was distracted by Qian Yirong's actions. He looked at her and smiled sweetly as he thanked her.
Qu Xueer blinked in confusion, wondering if she had seen it wrong. Qian Yirong seemed to glare at her just now, but that shouldn't be the case. She didn't do anything wrong. Why would Qian Yirong glare at her for no reason?
But not long after, Qu Xueer confirmed that it was not her illusion, and she also knew why Qian Yirong glared at her. It turned out that Qian Yirong was dissatisfied with her for talking too much to Xu Baiqing. After figuring it out, Qu Xueer couldn't help rolling her eyes.
Xu Baiqing always told herself that she was worried that Qian Yirong would not like her. But Qian Yirong liked him so much that even she, who was sure that she liked someone, was jealous of him. She knew that there was no possibility for her and Xu Baiqing, but even she was worried.
Qu Xueer lowered her head and concentrated on eating. Why should she worry about Xu Baiqing's feelings? Maybe the young couple was just playing a trick on her. She didn't want to be a part of the play between Qian Yirong and Xu Baiqing.
Xu Baiqing ate the dish that Qian Yirong had specially picked for him. He was about to say something to Qu Xueer when he saw that she was concentrating on eating and completely ignoring him. Xu Baiqing couldn't help but have a question mark in his head. This person seemed to want to ask everything just now, so why did she suddenly close her heart and lock her love?
Looking at Qu Xueer who didn't make any eye contact with him, Xu Baiqing couldn't help but kick Qu Xueer's legs under the table, wanting to know what happened to her. Qu Xueer was kicked for no reason, and she really felt like a single dog on the street. Not only was she fed dog food, but she was also kicked just for passing by.
Qu Xueer looked up and glared at Xu Baiqing, as if to say, "Don't disturb me while I'm eating." This made Xu Baiqing confused, but soon her attention was attracted by Qian Yirong who was taking care of her, so Qu Xueer rolled her eyes implicitly at the bitch in front of her.
