After booking the ticket, Qin Baobao took the initiative to call Zhao Xiaofei and asked, "Mr. Zhao, where are you? I'll pick you up!"
"Wanda Plaza!" Zhao Xiaofei said weakly.
"Which Wanda? We have several here?" Qin Baobao asked.
"Oh! Let me see, oh! It's on Fuyuan Road!" Zhao Xiaofei said after looking at the road sign at the door.
"Please find a place to sit for a while, I'll be there soon!" Qin Baobao said and hung up the phone.
Half an hour later, Qin Baobao found Zhao Xiaofei in a cafe. Zhao Xiaofei looked exhausted and unshaved, appearing several years older. His eyes lacked the same radiance and confidence from yesterday. It seemed the way to destroy a man was to make him fall in love with you, only to then cruelly abandon him.
"Mr. Zhao! Let's go!" Qin Baobao patted Zhao Xiaofei's shoulder from behind and said.
"So fast!" Zhao Xiaofei said, his voice a little hoarse.
Qin Baobao felt a little sorry for this man when she heard this. She felt sorry for him, for his devotion to President Jiang. He had money but didn't go looking for beautiful girls outside. He was also so capable. If a man like him were my boyfriend, I wouldn't let him go, no matter what the problem was. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but blush. Haha! If she knew Zhao Xiaofei had two wives in the Ming Dynasty, she probably wouldn't think so.
"Oh! This place is quite close to my home. It will only take a short taxi ride to get there." Qin Baobao said.
"Okay! Let's go!" Zhao Xiaofei spoke every word very simply and didn't want to say any more.
The two of them took a taxi to the airport together. It was not until they were boarding the plane that Zhao Xiaofei asked, "Are you going back too?"
"Yes! I have to go to work the day after tomorrow. It would be more energizing to rest at home tomorrow." Qin Baobao said.
"Is our company so tiring?" asked Zhao Xiaofei.
"It's not bad! I had a job before coming to the company, and it was much more tiring than this one." Qin Baobao said.
"Oh!" Zhao Xiaofei didn't say anything else. The two of them got on the plane. Zhao Xiaofei fell asleep as soon as he got on the plane and didn't say another word to Qin Baobao.
Qin Baobao kept looking at Zhao Xiaofei, hoping he would get up and talk. Otherwise, these two hours would be so boring. Now it felt like I had wasted my money buying the plane ticket. I might as well stay home and lie down for a while and get some beauty sleep. How nice it would be to go back to Beijing with my sister tomorrow.
But after getting off the plane, Zhao Xiaofei drove his Warrior. They were stuck in traffic because there had been an accident ahead. It took them two hours to get off the airport expressway.
Along the way, Qin Baobao and Zhao Xiaofei chatted a lot. Zhao Xiaofei's old loser habits came out again, and he complained bitterly to Qin Baobao. He told Qin Baobao about his childhood with Jiang Xiaomei, their love, and how they broke up.
Qin Baobao thought to herself, this Zhao Xiaofei turned out to be this kind of man. He was so different from what she had imagined, just an ordinary guy. Aside from his good luck selling antiques and making a fortune, he was no different from any other guy she had met.
Qin Baobao said in a gentle voice: "Mr. Zhao, I think fate is sometimes very teasing. You are sad not only because you lost your love, but also because you lost the dream you had woven long ago! Think about it, you are much luckier than the rest of us now. We don't have anything we want, love is out of the question, and money is even less of a concern. We are busy working every day, busy paying for utilities and rent. We have long forgotten the dream we had in college. If you think about people like me, will you feel more balanced? Will you feel less sad?"
Zhao Xiaofei laughed after hearing this. You want me to learn Ah Q psychotherapy. Think about how miserable others are, and your own problems will be nothing.
Seeing Zhao Xiaofei smile, Qin Baobao said: "Actually, I admire President Jiang too! She is really a good woman, strong and independent. Many girls can't do that!"
Hearing Qin Baobao say this, Zhao Xiaofei took a deep breath and said, "It's because I know how good she is that I feel even more sad and upset! Let's not talk about her anymore, let's talk about you! Why do you want to work in Beijing? Don't many people want to escape from Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou? They say that Beijing is too stressful and it's better to go back to their hometown to live."
"My mother's ancestral home is Beijing, and she wants me to try my luck in Beijing. She hopes I can make a name for myself in Beijing, but I think I'm going to disappoint her. Unless I marry a Beijinger, there's no point in staying in Beijing and relying on myself," said Qin Baobao.
"It seems that your aunt married for love. It's really not easy for her to give up her life in Beijing for your father." Zhao Xiaofei said with emotion.
"Who says it's not true? But how many women nowadays can marry for love like my mother? You and Mr. Jiang both had the same ending, so I don't have any extravagant hopes." Qin Baobao felt a little sad as she spoke. She was expressing the thoughts of these young girls today.
"Don't lose heart! Maybe we'll meet each other someday!" Zhao Xiaofei said as he stopped the car. "Where do you live? I'll give you a ride!"
When Qin Baobao saw that they had arrived at the company, she said, "Mr. Zhao, there's no need! You can go ahead and do your thing!"
"Okay! That's it! Thank you for talking to me today. We'll be friends from now on. Don't always call me Mr. Zhao or yours. When you're not at the office, just call me Xiaofei." Zhao Xiaofei said. Talking to this beautiful girl today made me feel much better.
"Okay, Xiaofei!" Qin Baobao immediately changed his words.
"Bye!" Zhao Xiaofei said nothing more as his warrior left. Qin Baobao watched the car disappear before turning around and heading home.
