Chapter 33
The end of December is a weekend. Lan Shuqing and his classmates finished their exams on Friday, the 29th, and had holidays on the 30th and 31st, plus New Year's Day on the 1st, for a total of three days off.
But Jiang Bai couldn't take a vacation. He had to work overtime on the 30th and 31st, and didn't have to go on the 1st. This time, Zhou Yue went to the company to be on duty.
It seemed like the last time he was at Jiang Bai's house was a long time ago.
Although Lan Shuqing could go to Jiang Bai's house at any time, she was already very busy during this period. Lan Shuqing didn't want Jiang Bai to have to distract herself to take care of her. That woman was a worrier.
On Friday night, Lan Shuqing returned home, tidied herself up and lay down on the bed. She leaned against the bed with her pillow in her arms, holding her cell phone and flipping through the chat history with Jiang Bai. The background of the chat was still the photo of Jiang Bai that she had secretly taken.
Just when Lan Shuqing was distracted, the chat box changed to "typing".
Pure white avatar: Kids, have you finished the exam?
Q version villain: Jiang Bai, you are going too far. I am not a child.
Q version villain: angry.jpg
Pure white avatar: Okay, big friend, how was the exam?
Q version villain: ...
Pure white avatar: hahaha.jpg
The other party didn't reply for a long time, with a pure white avatar: OK, OK, I was wrong, I'm sorry~
Q version villain: Humph!
Pure White Avatar: Hmm? How was the exam?
Q version of the little man: This time the questions are a bit difficult, but there is no problem in keeping your place.
Pure white avatar: So confident?
Q version villain: Humph.
Cute little man: Are you in a good mood today? You even have time to joke around.
Pure white avatar: It’s okay, come back to life a little.
Q version of the little man: Is there anything happy?
Pure white avatar: I won 100 yuan by scratching the lottery ticket today.
Q version of the villain:?
Pure white avatar: hehe.
Q version villain: Congratulations.
Lan Shu chuckled, he was so happy with just 100 yuan.
Pure white avatar: Haha, I have the money to treat you to barbecue.
Q version of the little man: Oh, the barbecue budget is only 100 yuan?
Pure white avatar: How about you add a little bit?
Q version villain: I said you treated me, so I won’t add any more~
Pure white avatar: Humph, stingy.
Lan Shuqing smiled again. It was rare to see Jiang Bai so energetic.
Q version of the little man: I didn’t expect you also like to scratch lottery tickets.
Pure white avatar: I scratch it occasionally to prove that I still have some luck.
Q-version figure: Not bad, I’ll try to win a big prize next time.
Pure White Avatar: No, no, no, that requires so much luck. What if I use up all my future luck?
Pure white avatar: 100 yuan is already very good~
Q version villain: Jiang Bai~
Pure white avatar: Huh?
Q version of the villain: Can I come to see you on the 31st?
Soon it was the afternoon of the 31st.
The operations of most branches and subsidiaries have been stopped, and some companies with larger business volumes are still going through the process. After the business is stopped at the end of the year, the group requires the financial statements to be issued on the 1st, so the time is very tight.
There are still some orders left in Jiang Bai's group, as well as additional reporting work, which needs to be sent to various business departments after verification. The business departments are all waiting, so some business leaders are also working overtime today.
Lan Shuqing went out at six o'clock and went there just in time to have dinner with Jiang Bai.
When passing by the braised food store on the way, Lan Shuqing suddenly remembered that Jiang Bai liked to eat these, so she went to buy some to take away and waited for her downstairs of Jiang Bai's building.
Jiang Bai was watching the team members check the process. By the time they finished, several minutes had passed since Lan Shuqing announced her arrival. Jiang Bai took his phone, locked the screen, and went downstairs.
In the lobby on the first floor, Jiang Bai saw Lan Shuqing standing tall as he stepped out of the elevator. He was wearing a light blue coat, white trousers, and carrying a small white bag across his shoulder.
Jiang Bai walked over, "Lan Shuqing."
Lan Shu turned around and saw Jiang Bai walking towards her quickly. Jiang Bai looked up at her and asked, "Have you been waiting for a long time?"
The same words were said the last time she came. Lan Shu chuckled softly, gently and beautifully. She lifted the braised dishes in her hand and said, "Let's go eat."
Jiang Bai glanced at what Lan Shuqing was holding, then looked up again. The girl used a very beautiful headband to tie her hair today. She found that Lan Shuqing seemed to like using headbands very much. They looked very nice and suited her very well.
Jiang Bai's throat moved slightly, and her eyes fell on a strand of black hair on Lan Shuqing's chest. She tentatively reached out to tidy Lan Shuqing's hair, then looked up at Lan Shuqing's smiling face. Jiang Bai curled her fingers slightly and replied, "Okay."
In the end, I couldn't go too far.
Opposite the Zhenghe Group is a food and commercial street. Most of the workers nearby eat here at noon. Jiang Bai took Lan Shuqing to find a snack bar and ordered a few snacks.
There weren't many people here on the weekend, and since it was New Year's Day, the snacks came out quickly and the portions were not very large.
Jiang Bai had eaten here before and the food tasted pretty good. Jiang Bai sighed deeply, took a pair of chopsticks and handed them to Lan Shuqing, and then took his own.
But she took it but didn't touch it. Lan Shuqing saw that she was so tired that her eyes were a little blurry, and couldn't help but move the snacks and braised dishes a little towards her, "Eat quickly."
Jiang Bai cheered up and put a piece of potato into her mouth. It tasted sour and spicy. She chewed it for a few bites and swallowed it. The stimulation of the chili made her feel alive and her eyes brightened. She also picked up a piece of braised lotus root. The vegetarian dishes in this restaurant were very spicy.
The empty stomach was suddenly stimulated by the chili pepper. Jiang Bai rubbed her stomach. She actually didn't eat lunch and was a little overwhelmed, but Jiang Bai liked spicy food. This made her head buzz and she woke up all of a sudden.
Lan Shuqing felt a little distressed and amused when he saw her looking like she had come back to life. He stretched out his hand and waved it in front of her eyes. "Jiang Bai?"
Jiang Bai let out an "ah" and raised her head, her eyes still a little dazed. She glanced at Lan Shuqing, who hadn't even touched his chopsticks. Jiang Bai pointed at the snacks on the table and asked, "Aren't you going to eat?"
Lan Shu chuckled, "You eat first."
Jiang Bai supported his head with his left hand, looked at Lan Shuqing, and squinted his eyes. "Lan Shuqing, do you know?"
Lan Shuqing said doubtfully, "Hmm?" "Know what?"
Jiang Bai picked up a piece of potato and smiled smugly, "If you don't eat it, I will finish it."
Blue Book Light: (_`)
Lan Shuqing laughed out loud. She leaned back in her chair, looking at Jiang Bai and laughing.
Jiang Bai also laughed, "If you don't eat it now, I'll really finish it."
Lan Shuqing still smiled. She picked up the chopsticks and said, "I know~"
Jiang Bai always has some weird points, but Lan Shuqing understands them all.
Weird and cute.
Half an hour after finishing their meal, the two returned to Zhenghe Group together. However, when they arrived at the lobby, Lan Shuqing did not go upstairs with Jiang Bai.
"Where are you going?" Jiang Bai was a little confused.
Lan Shu gently supported Jiang Bai's shoulders and said, "I'm going to meet an elder. You can focus on your work. When you get off work, we'll go back together."
"Hmm?" Jiang Bai turned around and looked at her, "Aren't you going home?"
Lan Shu put his hand on her shoulder and said, "If you don't want to go home, go to your house."
Jiang Bai frowned slightly, and Lan Shu patted her shoulder again. "It's settled. I'll come find you later."
The 31st is New Year's Eve, and Zhenghe Group is a company that has a sense of ceremony and pays attention to humanistic care. Therefore, on the 31st, the 10th floor was decorated from the front desk to the workstations. There were also balloons and red decorations hanging on both sides of the front desk.
It is said that there will be New Year's gifts tomorrow.
"Jiang Bai, where did you go just now?"
As soon as she saw Jiang Bai, Bai Shanshan greeted her. Her workstation was in the first row on the left, so she saw Jiang Bai as soon as she came in.
Jiang Bai walked over and said, "I went to have a meal. How are you doing?"
Bai Shanshan looked up at her and said, "We have finished processing all the orders in our group. I will be leaving soon. I will leave two people on duty here."
Jiang Bai glanced around and raised an eyebrow, "Is Zhou Yue gone?"
Bai Shanshan whispered, "They left a long time ago. There are still four people in their group."
Jiang Bai put his hands on the office chair and said, "Okay, I'll go check on our group."
There were more or less some problems with the data verification this month, so Jiang Bai went to help the team members find the problems, going back and forth until after eight o'clock before he sat down at his seat.
Almost all the members of the other two groups had left, including Bai Shanshan, leaving only the last two people on duty.
Everyone on Jiang Bai's side was still there.
Just then, someone on the work app pulled Jiang Bai into a group.
20th floor, Business Project Department Office.
This was Lan Shuqing's first time on the 20th floor. Lan Zhaozhao was the head of the business project department and had an office to himself.
"Why are you here today?"
Lan Zhaozhao was a little surprised when Lan Shuqing called her, because her niece had never thought of visiting her workplace before.
Lan Shuqing sat across from Lan Zhaozhao, holding his face with his hands and smiling, "I heard you were working overtime too, so I came over to see you."
Lan Zhaozhao thought of something and looked at Lan Shuqing, "Are you here to see Jiang Bai?"
Lan Shu nodded slightly and smiled.
Lan Zhaozhao had a feeling that it was as expected.
Lan Shu lightly tapped the small gift box in front of him and said, "Nuo, Aunt Zhao, this is what I bought for you last time I went shopping. It's a New Year's gift."
Lan Zhaozhao took the palm-sized box suspiciously and opened it. It was a bracelet from E, which was quite nice. Lan Zhaozhao had no other hobbies except jewelry: earrings, necklaces, bracelets, anklets, anything jewelry.
Lan Shu chuckled, "How is it, not bad?"
Lan Zhaozhao closed the lid with a smile, "It's quite good."
Lan Shu lightly lifted his hair and said confidently, "As expected of me~"
Lan Zhaozhao laughed. Suddenly, she thought of something and asked, "Did you tell Jiang Bai to come see me?"
"No." Lan Shu shook his head slightly.
Now it was Lan Zhaozhao's turn to be surprised, "Why?"
Lan Shu chuckled and said, "There's no need to tell her about this, and I'm afraid she'll feel uncomfortable if she knows."
Lan Zhaozhao put his hands on the desk, even more confused. "Why? She and I are not in the same department."
Lan Shu hummed softly, "We'll talk about it when we meet later."
Jiang Bai looks calm, but he is actually very sensitive in interpersonal relationships. Lan Shuqing is afraid that Jiang Bai will think too much and build a wall around her.
Lan Zhaozhao smiled, "Aren't you afraid that I might overthink it?"
Lan Shu blinked slightly, "Aunt Zhao, are you that kind of person?"
Lan Zhaozhao laughed, "Of course not."
"That's all."
Her niece is really... Lan Zhaozhao had never seen Lan Shuqing care so much about someone before. "So how long do you plan to stay with me?"
Lan Shu thought for a moment and asked, "Aunt Zhao, when are you leaving?"
Lan Zhaozhao glanced at the time and said, "It'll be a while."
