Chapter 630: Confusion (37)
"Anyway, let's arrange a place and you'll find out when you meet."
At that time, Yu Zhi said this lightly and told Qiao Xi to go to a certain address at a certain time.
So Qiao Xi arrived at the appointment on time.
But... when she saw the man sitting across from her, drinking coffee in silence, and the man seemed a little uneasy when he saw her, the two of them avoided looking at each other, and when they accidentally met, they looked away awkwardly.
Qiao Xi was not embarrassed.
It's just that the other party was embarrassed, and she was affected by the atmosphere and looked a little restrained.
"Click."
The slight touch of the cup being put down also brought Qiao Xi's wandering thoughts back.
She looked up at the man in front of her.
The other man happened to be looking in her direction, and their eyes met inadvertently. The handsome young man in front of her was wearing a well-tailored suit that made his figure stand out.
He wears black-framed glasses.
There was obvious helplessness in the clear pupils under the lenses. When looking at Qiao Xi, the man's expression was not only helpless but also a little embarrassed. He looked very restrained.
"Well, I'm really sorry, Miss Qiao."
The other party spoke first, breaking the silence.
Having let go of his previous hostility and defensiveness, his voice now sounded very gentle, which was very different from when Qiao Xi first met him.
That's right.
The person in front of Qiao Xi at this moment was Nan Xiangzhu, whom she had not seen since their hasty separation. At that time, she caught Gan Youmeng coming to the restaurant with Zhi Liao's arm in arm.
Then the two men left one after the other.
Looking at the gentle and handsome man in front of her who was smiling bitterly, Qiao Xi also saw deep fatigue and loneliness in his eyes.
It seems that Nan Xiangzhu was hit hard?
It's no wonder, after all, he valued Gan Youmeng so much before. He fell in love with Gan Youmeng, and now she was suspected of cheating and was discovered by him as her boyfriend, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.
Nan Xiangzhu himself had thought so before.
He thought that if Gan Youmeng dated him, then all other men would stop dating her. However, the girl's behavior surprised him.
At that moment, my sanity collapsed.
The perfect image that Gan Youmeng had maintained in his heart all this time collapsed silently.
And at that time Nan Xiangzhu left.
Gan Youmeng, who chased him out, held him back and explained that she didn't know how to talk to other boys, nor did she know how to tell them that she already had a boyfriend. She was afraid that others would be sad, so she continued like this.
And then she finally said...
"Brother Xiangzhu will definitely understand me, right?"
How can I understand this? Can I understand that after she has a boyfriend, she still has many other men around her?
If everyone is in the pursuit period and Gan Youmeng is single.
This kind of thing can still be tolerated for now.
After all, he wasn't Youmeng's boyfriend at the time, and he had no right to comment on Youmeng's affairs. But after Gan Youmeng agreed to be his girlfriend, she still maintained that kind of relationship with someone else, which was a betrayal to him.
What Nan Xiangzhu can't tolerate most is betrayal.
So the more he thought about it, the more confused he became. He couldn't get over this hurdle in his heart. He had clearly confirmed that he and Youmeng were in love, so why did it turn out like this?
I can't believe it, and I don't want to believe it.
This thought lingered in his mind for a long time, and when he gave up on himself and allowed himself to continue drinking, his heart was in great pain.
Gan Youmeng had called him to explain before.
But whether from the messages or the few phone calls, Nan Xiangzhu realized that the girl had no idea where her mistakes were, and instead wanted him to be more generous and forgive her behavior, and wanted to reconcile with him as before.
How is this possible?
Is this the only explanation I'm waiting for?
Nan Xiangzhu's heart gradually grew cold. He felt that if he didn't take any measures, Gan Youmeng would never understand his feelings.
Perhaps it was because the girl was too innocent and kindhearted that she couldn't bring herself to reject others. However, if she didn't reject others properly, the person she loved the most would be hurt. Gan Youmeng didn't understand this, so he wanted her to understand.
But if you do this.
It might hurt a strange girl you don't know.
Nan Xiangzhu had no intention of involving others. He wanted to take action, but there was no substantial progress, so he was also troubled by this matter.
Among the people around Gan Youmeng.
There were only two people he knew and had talked to a few times, the two from the Yan family and the Yu family.
The one from the Yan family is quite busy.
There was no need to bother them specifically, so he tried to ask the person from the Yu family for help, and only asked the other party to recommend someone with similar qualifications.
The other party readily agreed.
After all, he is in the entertainment industry and knows a lot of people. The entertainment industry is very complicated, so there are always people who want to cover up their mistakes.
In Nan Xiangzhu's guess.
Even if there are recommended candidates, they are likely women working in the entertainment industry. For example, the actual lover is a star or entertainer, but for various reasons it is not convenient to disclose it, or they need to cover up.
Make a temporary deal with the other party like this.
Nor will it harm each other's interests.
Moreover, his family background is not too bad, and he does not need to worry about his status and job. In the eyes of the public, he has exceeded the passing line and reached a very excellent standard.
He has a prominent family background, is rich and powerful.
Nan Xiangzhu himself is also a researcher, and several of his papers have been published. What's more important is that he is very young and has a bright future.
Such talents are generally given special attention.
The Nan family also put some pressure on him to find a woman he liked. If he got along well with Gan Youmeng, he would bring her back to meet his parents.
However, the opposite happened.
Nan Xiangzhu sighed heavily.
"So that's why you're here." Qiao Xi, who was sitting opposite him, nodded as if she understood what he said.
The girl bit the straw and drank the soy milk mochi tea, staring at him intently.
"That's great. If you don't mind, we can make do with it for now. The Xi family is pushing me hard."
Qiao Xi said this.
This indifferent attitude, as if she was talking about something that had nothing to do with him, made Nan Xiangzhu unable to help but look at her.
"Does it have nothing to do with me? I...I still love Youmeng, and I will only love Youmeng."
He was a little hesitant.
Qiao Xi chuckled when she heard this: "Then just love each other. We are just making do with each other temporarily, so we won't interfere with each other's freedom. You love your Gan Youmeng, and I want to live my life. We can discuss this when we need to deal with both families."
Since both of them want to use each other.
Why care about what the other person does? It's not like they are really getting married. They are just pretending to be boyfriend and girlfriend who are brought home to meet their parents, and then they say goodbye afterwards.
For this kind of boyfriend and girlfriend, you can even seek out a daily lover rental service.
However, the two families would definitely check each other's background, so it would be difficult to fool them. Otherwise, Qiao Xi would have considered renting a lover for a day to deal with it, but renting one would not work either, as the other party's family background probably did not meet the requirements of the Xi family.
"good."
Nan Xiangzhu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw her relaxed look.
Originally, he just wanted to find someone for a casual fling and didn't want to have too much contact with the other person. Now that Qiao Xi had made it clear, there was no need for him to be so entangled.
He said so much of this.
It was just to tell Qiao Xi his feelings and that he couldn't have any thoughts about Qiao Xi.
So in fact, Nan Xiangzhu was secretly advising Qiao Xi not to really care about him, so as to avoid the fake becoming real, and only Qiao Xi would be trapped.
but……
If she knew what he was thinking, Qiao Xi would probably be surprised and would have a hard time holding back her laughter.
The two began to discuss countermeasures.
Nan Xiangzhu wants Gan Youmeng to learn to think from other people's perspectives.
Let her see how much hurt and shock it would bring to her if the person she loves was so intimate with someone of the opposite sex.
Therefore.
He needed Qiao Xi's help, and probably in front of Gan Youmeng, the two of them showed some intimate behavior.
Then he would also tell Gan Youmeng.
He and Qiao Xi are now an engaged couple.
He would ask Gan Youmeng to talk and mention these things so that the girl would feel a sense of crisis.
"So I'll need your cooperation then."
Nan Xiangzhu said this. He was planning to ask Gan Youmeng out. The girl had been calling him before but he had avoided her.
Now.
It's time to face this matter properly.
"Okay, you arrange it."
Qiao Xi had no objection and nodded in agreement.
Changing the subject, she continued, "But I want to ask, to what extent do you mean by intimate behavior?"
Let’s discuss the degree in advance.
If anything goes wrong, she will know the right degree and it will be easier to control it.
"No more than a kiss."
Nan Xiangzhu answered without thinking, which means that they can hold hands, hug, and have some physical contact.
Just don't do something inappropriate like kissing.
Nan Xiangzhu saw that Qiao Xi had no response and thought that the girl was not willing, and he looked a little surprised.
Nan Xiangzhu finally couldn't help but speak.
"You won't be unable to accept it, right? But this kind of physical contact is necessary. You Meng often does this. We agreed to make good use of each other. I won't be polite to you, so please be mentally prepared."
He has tried his best to appear restrained.
Since you said you want to take advantage of it.
It is inevitable that he will need to cooperate with the other party. He will cooperate with Qiao Xi to deal with those people from the Xi family. At the same time, he also hopes that Qiao Xi can assist him and act in front of You Meng to make the girl jealous.
"Uh, okay."
Qiao Xi agreed with a strange look on his face.
She had never seen anyone make such a request. All she wanted was for Nan Xiangzhu to be a temporary figurehead for her to deal with the Xi family. She didn't need Nan Xiangzhu to do anything substantial.
but……
Since the other party has said it, he needs her help or something like that.
After thinking about it, it seemed unnecessary to fuss over such a small matter, so Qiao Xi simply let it go and let him be.
When leaving.
It's already past two in the afternoon. If I go to the company now, the lunch break will just end.
When Qiao Xi arrived at the place.
Wei Xinghe has been concentrating on his work at his post, while the filming crew of the program is still following the artists to film their daily lives. Qiao Xi needs to appear in the camera occasionally.
So I have to show up from time to time.
Then you have to act like you're going to get off work normally.
Her arrival also made Wei Xinghe take the time out of his busy schedule to look up at her. When the man saw her, his eyes lit up.
"Come on, come on, let's see who to send."
Wei Xinghe handed the printed document in his hand to Qiao Xi, and then hurriedly sat back in his seat.
"?"
Qiao Xi looked at the thing he stuffed into her with confusion.
It was a printed email stating that a certain event required the attendance of a person in charge of your company.
That's the kind...
Sometimes business entertainment is unavoidable.
Although Qiao Xi's company is an entertainment company, it is also involved in other industries and is not limited to entertainment.
Just like the cosmetics company under her name.
Although the main brand is cosmetics, there are also departments that invest in the research and development of other things.
An exchange meeting between enterprises like this.
She will also be invited to exchange and learn from each other, and to have collisions in different fields.
However, such matters usually do not require her to show up in person.
Usually there is no need for Wei Xinghe to come forward.
When attending such occasions, it is usually enough to hand it over to the president. Qiao Xi took a look and found that the email was no exception.
"Why not just let Li Zhichuan go?"
Qiao Xi put the paper down casually.
President Li can represent their company and give enough face, so it is just right for him to attend this kind of occasion for exchanging corporate culture.
"Well, he just took his annual leave."
Wei Xinghe scratched his cheek awkwardly, not knowing what to say.
President Li of their company.
In fact, he was similar to the domineering CEO who doted on his young wife. Although Wei Xinghe was not clear about his affairs, he had heard some rumors that the woman around CEO Li had changed recently.
She is a young female college student who works part-time because her mother is seriously ill and in urgent need of medical expenses.
I heard.
It was when I was taking care of my mother that I accidentally ran into Mr. Li who was sending his ex-girlfriend to the hospital.
Then the two of them should have fallen in love with each other?
After all this going on, it seems like there has been some development.
Wei Xinghe recalled some rumors in the company and said this to Qiao Xi.
And after hearing these words.
Slowly type a question mark.
"Huh?" Why is the CEO of her company like this? No, although he looks like a domineering CEO, his routine shouldn't be... right?
"Anyway, he has a lot of women around him. Oh, forget about these gossips. You are not interested anyway."
In short.
All you need to know is that Li Zhichuan has been on vacation recently because of a woman's matter and has no time to attend such occasions.
Wei Xinghe just laughed it off.
Qiao Xi was silent for a while.
Then she slowly said, "Li Zhichuan has a doctor friend, and that doctor friend also likes the new woman he's attracted to."
"Hmm? Ah, yes, that's right. How did you know?"
Wei Xinghe looked at her in surprise.
Qiao Xi obviously didn't come to the company on a regular basis, so how could he know all this? He only occasionally got a taste of gossip about the company's president when the CEO told him about work matters.
Qiao Xi doesn't come here usually.
There was no chance to know at all, this is amazing.
But the girl didn't seem to want to dwell on this matter any longer, and she simply dropped the topic. To put it bluntly, she couldn't go because she had to take leave.
Since the other person was on vacation according to the normal procedure, it was naturally impossible for Qiao Xi to call him back.
"Actually, I think it's a good idea for you to go to this kind of event. Showing up can also help you gain some prestige."
Wei Xinghe gave her suggestions seriously.
Qiao Xi glanced at him sideways: "It says to bring a companion of the opposite sex. To attend such an event, you either bring a female companion or a male companion. I don't have a choice. Are you going with me?"
Qiao Xi has never attended any occasion as a company representative.
After all, she has been a hands-off boss for a long time.
That means she will be back soon to cooperate with the filming of the program, but it seems that Wei Xinghe wants to slowly transfer the focus to her.
but.
Qiao Xi had no intention of interfering too much, so it was naturally impossible for her to cooperate with all of Wei Xinghe's little tricks.
It is her job, so she should do it.
Things that are not within her scope of responsibility, such as some tasks that can be assigned to subordinates, do not require her to do everything herself.
But Wei Xinghe was also right.
She had never attended such an occasion in the name of the company, and her understanding of other companies was only in written form.
Some people still need to be met.
Whether it is for cooperation or socializing, we must continue to strengthen the trust with some trustworthy business partners.
What's more, the organizer is also quite powerful.
The higher the position of the person who goes, the more face you give to him.
"Me? I won't go. The two of us together would scare people, and it would also make us look less prestigious. It's okay for one big shot to come, but it wouldn't look good if all the top executives of the entire company came out."
Wei Xinghe also knew that she was joking.
So he just laughed it off and brushed aside Qiao Xi's words. He thought that the other party also allowed filming.
Then.
Qiao Xi had become a hot topic some time ago, and the popularity of Bai Jiangran and Qin Luying had died down a bit, so it was just right that they were able to be combined together again, which attracted a wave of attention.
As long as Qiao Xi brings one of them, it will be fine.
"Then let's take Bai Jiangran with us. Qin Luying needs to film a scene, and we can't delay the crew's progress."
Understanding what Wei Xinghe didn't say out loud, Qiao Xi directly called out his name.
The time is three days later.
During this period, it is enough to communicate and hand over the work with the other party, as well as some other matters that need to be prepared.
Jiang Jingze agreed to pick her up after get off work.
When he parked his car in the underground parking lot of Qiao Xi's company, he was a little nervous because he saw a car that looked like Qiao Xi's in the parking lot.
No, it must be that woman's.
There was only one luxury car of that configuration that was so conspicuous. When he met the other party before, he was driving another supercar. Now this one made him jealous again. Their cars were not even in the same class.
Jiang Jingze withdrew his envious gaze from the car.
It was time to get off work, and the other staff members went into the parking lot to get their cars and leave. There were also many artists' nanny cars parked here.
Some artists have schedules at night.
Need to rush to program recording rehearsal, or shoot some other commercial advertisements.
Jiang Jingze didn't wait too long.
Qiao Xi's figure soon appeared in his sight. When he saw the girl appear, he got out of the car and waved to Qiao Xi.
The other party quickly noticed him and walked towards him.
"Master, you really came all the way here."
The girl got into the car with a smile on her face. Jiang Jingze noticed that she was sitting in the back seat, and his expression dimmed a little.
But this expression only lasted for a brief moment.
Qiao Xi didn't notice it.
"Don't call me God, it makes me feel a little embarrassed. Just call me by my name."
Jiang Jingze smiled helplessly.
Now that he knows the other party's true identity, how could he still let this boss call him "God"? That would be too shameless and unacceptable.
"Then Mr. Jiang."
Qiao Xi pursed her lips and smiled, but Jiang Jingze felt a little uncomfortable when he heard her unfamiliar name.
"You should continue to call me Great God."
"Haha, okay, Master Jiang."
The atmosphere between the two gradually became relaxed with such banter. While chatting, Jiang Jingze drove the car to the Japanese restaurant that had been reserved in advance.
The location is a bit remote.
When Qiao Xi came to this Japanese-style restaurant, she felt a little strange.
"This place recently opened, I thought you might not have been here before."
Jiang Jingze got out of the car, politely opened the back door where Qiao Xi was sitting, and welcomed the girl out.
“I haven’t been here.”
Qiao Xi nodded slightly and followed Jiang Jingze inside.
You may be booking a private room.
When Jiang Jingze walked in, someone recognized him and quickly led the way.
The room he chose was also Japanese style with tatami mats.
Qiao Xi is not that interested in other countries' cultures.
More attention was paid to the layout of the room and the sliding door that Jiang Jingze opened.
Behind the door is the courtyard.
There was a pool of water planted with lotuses, and water flowed through a slanted bamboo tube, falling onto the rocks in the pool and then falling back into the pool.
It's night now.
The surrounding area was lit with dim lights, making the water in the pond sparkle. There was also a faint but pleasant smell in the air, which seemed to repel mosquitoes.
You can hear the chirping of cicadas not far away.
In the flowers on the other side of the courtyard, you can also see fireflies flying and lighting up like stars.
The view is nice.
In such a quiet atmosphere, after someone served the dishes, they closed the sliding door, leaving only her and Jiang Jingze.
The dishes are all Japanese.
There are also raw dishes, but the portions are not particularly large. I ordered a bit of everything and it was a pretty balanced meal.
"I don't know what you like to eat, so I ordered these without authorization."
Jiang Jingze said this with a smile.
The last time I went out to eat with Qiao Xi, it was just a normal meal. From that time, I couldn't confirm what kind of Japanese food Qiao Xi liked.
therefore.
He wanted to cater to the other party's appetite, so Jiang Jingze ordered some of everything except for the dishes that he particularly couldn't accept.
"Master Jiang is too wasteful."
Qiao Xi looked at the dishes on the table with some frustration. They didn't look like they had much in quantity, but they ordered a wide range of dishes. Furthermore, the prices at this kind of restaurant were indeed quite expensive.
He really is willing to do that.
The leisurely and peaceful atmosphere seems to be away from the hustle and bustle of the city, allowing a tense heart to gradually relax.
Qiao Xi's expression was gentle.
Jiang Jingze also noticed this, and the conversation between the two became more natural.
As if it was mentioned casually.
Jiang Jingze said, "Miss Xi, you've become quite famous. A lot of people are asking if you need a gigolo or leg pendant."
I was talking about the time when it was trending.
Many netizens asked Qiao Xi in the comment section of the program whether she had a boyfriend, and were then mocked by the crowd, saying how could they possibly have a boyfriend.
then.
The netizens who were possessed by the spirit of drama asked whether the rich sister needed leg pendants, or whether she wanted a gigolo.
Someone is joking.
But there are people who really speak the truth, and some even try to dig up Qiao Xi's contact information.
Therefore.
During that period, Qiao Xi's number would always receive love messages from unknown sources, some of which were very explicit and really disturbing.
Fortunately, she refuses to receive all unfamiliar messages and calls.
Just pretend you didn’t see that kind of junk text message.
Jiang Jingze knew that she didn't have a boyfriend, but after this incident, when Qiao Xi became popular, more people noticed her.
It's hard to guarantee.
During the time when Qiao Xi ignored him, would someone else succeed in doing so?
After all, he is not close to the water tower.
The advantage of getting the moon first is definitely not that great.
Such an excellent and high-quality woman, once she becomes popular, there will definitely be many people targeting her.
Plus.
He also wanted to test whether Qiao Xi was interested in having a boyfriend now.
If you want to develop.
It's best if they start out as boyfriend and girlfriend.
"Master Jiang, please stop teasing me. Alas, my family is pushing me even harder because of this."
The girl in front of him showed a helpless and bitter smile.
Jiang Jingze's heart fluttered, and he quickly pressed the issue, "What's wrong? Are your family urging you?"
"Yeah, she said she had to find a fiancé."
Qiao Xi nodded, looking increasingly distressed. "To be honest, I've been worrying about this before, and I don't know what to do. After all, my family has high expectations for men, so it's difficult to find a suitable candidate."
I heard the girl say that.
Jiang Jingze's eyes lit up. How high could one go? Wasn't it just about being rich and famous?
He's not bad either.
His income was not too low, and he was also a very popular anchor. Although he could not compare to someone like Qiao Xi, he could definitely provide a sense of security.
Jiang Jingze thought.
Xi Xi was already the boss of that company, and his family certainly didn't want the company to fall into the hands of others. They definitely wanted their own children to inherit it. Therefore, they couldn't look for someone who was too outstanding or had a high-class family background.
Then a normal person is the best choice.
But the girl’s family certainly wouldn’t want a man with an ordinary status who seems to have no ability, right?
A person like this is not worthy of Xi Xi...
On second thought, it's clearly a waste of talent. She definitely deserves someone better, at least someone who is financially independent.
If you think so.
The man’s occupation will probably also be taken into consideration.
Jiang Jingze's mind fluttered slightly: "If we're considering a candidate, why not..."
As he said this, he was about to secretly recommend himself, but the girl smiled at him the next second, sweeping away her previous distress and depression.
"It's okay, Master Jiang. I don't have to think about candidates now. I already have a fiancé!"
She said this in a light and lively tone.
However, Jiang Jingze's brain froze, and he froze in place. Even the food he was about to eat tasted dull, but the girl who had just spoken seemed oblivious to his expression.
Instead, he picked up the tempura on the plate and ate it with relish.
Only Jiang Jingze was left in the mess.
Fiancé…husband? When did that happen? She doesn't have a boyfriend, but she has a fiancé. Could it be that she's been hiding her true abilities all this time?
In order to avoid being discovered by him, you said you don’t have a boyfriend?
But judging by Qiao Xi's expression just now, it seemed like she had only recently found it. So, was he actually a step too late? Jiang Jingze's expression darkened, and he wasn't even paying attention to the delicious food in front of him.
This dinner.
It ended with Qiao Xi happy and him depressed.
Jiang Jingze sent Qiao Xi home. When he drove the car to the downstairs of a residential complex, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
But then he thought about Qiao Xi's boss status, and as long as the other party was rich, it would be enough, so he quickly let it go and didn't care so much.
The place where Qiao Xi asked him to drive her.
In reality, she had just randomly found a residential address nearby. After all, she usually lived either in her own manor or in Zhiliao. She couldn't possibly let Jiang Jingze drive her to the manor; there was no point in having her address known to someone like him.
Until Jiang Jingze's car disappeared from sight.
Only then did Qiao Xi emerge from her hiding place and go to the bus stop not far ahead to wait for the bus.
She went back to the company.
She hadn't intended to go upstairs, but the building was brightly lit. For some reason, Qiao Xi decided to go and take a look. The hardworking employees who were still working so late deserved her sympathy.
I went to the cafeteria first.
Now it's time for the evening snack.
Qiao Xi found someone from the logistics department and said something, then left and took the elevator. That night, the employees who were working overtime suddenly received a notice that the cafeteria would have extra meals.
Wei Xinghe is not in the office.
Qiao Xi sorted out the documents on her desk and checked them to make sure there was nothing left to do before leaving. However, when the elevator reached the next floor, it suddenly stopped.
It looks like someone pressed the button on this floor.
Qiao Xi glanced at the floor map hanging inside the elevator. This floor was the CEO and president's office. The CEO was very capable, but she was always the one who left work at lightning speed and would never work overtime unless asked by her superiors.
That leaves only the president.
Didn’t they say that President Li is on vacation?
Just as Qiao Xi was thinking this, the elevator door opened. Standing in front of Qiao Xi was a beautiful woman with delicate makeup and decent clothes.
There was a work badge hanging on her plump chest. It seemed a bit worrying, and Qiao Xi couldn't help but look over.
Li Zhichuan's secretary.
"Oh, Boss Xi! Good evening!" The young and beautiful secretary covered her lips in surprise as soon as she saw Qiao Xi, and then she walked into the elevator.
"Good evening." Qiao Xi also nodded slightly.
"Boss, with all due respect, how open can our company culture be?"
I thought there would be silence after the greetings, but the young and beautiful secretary started asking questions again.
Qiao Xi looked at her strangely: "Huh? Why are you asking this suddenly?"
The secretary quickly revealed a distressed look. "It's not a nice thing to say, actually. It feels a bit like reporting my boss. But... I really can't stand it anymore. President Li has been bringing a woman to the office lately, and it's either this or that."
"..." Qiao Xi looked at her silently, waiting for her to continue.
The secretary sighed again and continued.
"Mr. Li is on vacation, but he's a workaholic. He says he's on vacation, but he still comes to work. But lately, he's been bringing a woman with him. One time, I wanted to bring some report materials in for him, but I heard some strange noises..."
The secretary hesitated to speak, seemingly still thinking about how to organize his words to continue.
Qiao Xi was silent for a while.
She asked politely, "Do you mean he's studying the similarities between island nations and Western culture? Or is he putting relevant theoretical knowledge into practice?"
This statement stunned the secretary.
Are all scholars so polite in their speech? The secretary was stunned for a full three seconds before reacting: "Ah, yes, yes, that's it! Yes, I'm practicing with that woman now..."
"I understand." Qiao Xi nodded.
After pressing the elevator button back to the original floor, the two waited in silence again.
The secretary glanced at Qiao Xi several times, hesitant to speak, as if he wanted to say something but didn't know how to start.
Finally, Qiao Xi looked at her: "What's wrong?"
After the silence was broken by this action, the secretary finally spoke hesitantly and slowly, "Boss, you may not believe this, but actually... I am a person who traveled through time!"
"...What?" Qiao Xi was stunned.
The secretary quickly continued, "Actually, it's not quite accurate to say I traveled through time. I traveled through a book. The male protagonist, Li Zhichuan, and the female protagonist, Chu Anqing, have a love-hate relationship, and I, Luo Yuwei, am the supporting actress who obstructs them."
She said this and began to describe it in a torrent of words.
Qiao Xi was a little confused when she heard this, but she felt relieved after thinking about it. In everyone's world, everyone's story is different, and everyone is the protagonist in his or her own world.
so.
Only in the world she had experienced before would there be two books with the same background but different protagonists.
And in the world that Luo Yuwei comes into contact with.
The protagonists she saw were President Li and the heroine Chu Anqing from her place. Like the early domineering CEO novels, they would start a fight at the first sign of disagreement. It was not the first time for the male protagonist, and he must have seen countless women.
The hostess either has a seriously ill relative or has to pay for her younger brother's tuition.
Luo Yuwei said a lot.
Finally, she said bitterly, "If it was just once or twice, I could have avoided it, but it's like this every day. Mr. Li's kidneys are too good. It's a huge blow to my young heart. I'm just an ordinary worker. Can't we just quietly build a better future together?"
"By the way, I have evidence here too. If you want it, boss..."
When she finished speaking.
He handed over his cell phone, as if the evidence was backed up on the phone, and said he would show it to Qiao Xi to verify its authenticity.
Qiao Xi took it.
She looked through the files in Luo Yuwei's phone and became more and more speechless.
Then.
Qiao Xi also silently took out her cell phone and dialed Wei Xinghe's number.
"Why are you still looking for me after 9pm? I'm telling you, I've already finished get off work. Don't even think about asking me to work overtime. Let's talk tomorrow if you have anything to say."
As soon as the call was connected, the boy's dissatisfied voice came from the other side.
Qiao Xi, who had already arrived at the opposite floor and walked close to the president's office, heard the vague noises coming from inside and spoke directly to Wei Xinghe.
"Tomorrow, let Li Zhichuan pack up and leave."
As expected, Wei Xinghe was completely stunned. "Huh??? What are you saying all of a sudden? Wait, you have to give a reason if you want to fire someone."
"Go to Li Zhichuan's secretary at work tomorrow and ask for evidence. That's enough."
Qiao Xi hung up shortly after she finished speaking. Wei Xinghe was confused and had no idea what was going on. He could only wait until tomorrow when he got to work to come and check on her.
And in Mr. Li’s office.
There was still a very beautiful sound coming.
Qiao Xi sighed when she heard this voice. She remembered that Yan Liang had done the same thing to her during work hours before, relying on her status as the heir to do whatever she wanted.
But after all, he was the one who took over and controlled the Yan family.
As the boss who supported the chaebol, no one could fire him. But if the situation was reversed and someone like Yan Liang was her employee, she would definitely fire him.
As for Li Zhichuan...
He is the president of the company under her name. Instead of working hard, he plays the role of a domineering CEO in a tragic love affair. Even if he wants to play, he shouldn't use his vacation time to play in the office. She must fire him.
"Boss..."
Luo Yuwei blankly took the phone that Qiao Xi handed to her. In fact, in the novel she had read, this company was later acquired by President Li.
Then, Li Zhichuan also became one of the giants in the entertainment industry who had the final say.
Then, he helped the female lead debut. Then the female lead became a popular movie star, and the two of them were exposed in their relationship. They received blessings from many netizens for being together, but if you think about it with normal thinking logic, it is impossible for them to be blessed by the majority of netizens.
It would be strange if he wasn't drowned in spit.
The popular movie queen who was cultivated by the company and the company boss were actually secret lovers, and they even had a child who was several years old.
And the child looks exactly like Mr. Li.
If you calculate the time, that means she gave birth to a child before the other party became a movie queen.
It's a bolt from the blue, okay...
Luo Yuwei thought about the story of the original book and complained in her heart. She had thought about seeking help from the characters in the book, but the hero and heroine were so powerful that no one would believe it even if she told them.
Even if she asked them to go to the president's office, others would just say that she was overthinking it and that the president might just be exercising.
What kind of sports will have the cadence of hmmmm and ahhh?
Luo Yuwei had given up hope when she ran into Qiao Xi by chance today. Who knew that after she said that, the other party would actually fire Li Zhichuan right in front of her? It was so touching.
Luo Yuwei was almost moved to tears.
She was waiting to see their President Li pack up and leave.
After this incident, Qiao Xi left the company and contacted Zhi Liao. He didn't say much, simply saying that he would send a car to pick her up. Qiao Xi and Zhi Liao had maintained this minimal level of communication for quite some time.
But human patience is ultimately limited.
She guessed that Zhi Liao was about the same.
