MTL - Seventh Year of My Secret Love for You-Chapter 16
Sending the project to Pei Shixiao, Jiang Shenghe didn't have time to come out in person, and there were a lot of things that he needed to worry about next. Immediately, he dialed Qin Moling's number.
Qin Moling is the best at this kind of thing, and he is absolutely the best candidate.
"You want to send overseas resources to Pei Shixiao?"
"Um."
Qin Moling laughed back angrily, "The wise don't fall in love", this is true. Seeing how Jiang Shenghe became crazy, Luo Qi got married, and he still had to pay for it.
Marriage gift project, when Luo Qi has a baby, he is afraid that he will buy a milk powder factory as a congratulatory gift.
"I'm going to deliver it myself. I'm not free."
Jiang Shenghe knew that he had misunderstood, and explained in a few words: "Luo Qi and Pei Shixiao are separated. Give him a few projects so that he won't have time to bother Luo Qi. It's not free, I will fight for his domestic projects."
Qin Moling had already turned on his phone and put it on the table to sign documents. Hearing what Jiang Shenghe said, he picked up his mobile phone, "Leave this to me."
He asked one more question: "Is it done without trace, or?"
"There's no need to deliberately cover it up, Pei Shixiao will find out afterward if he finds out. So what if he knows that I'm the one who tripped him up."
"It's counted."
Jiang Shenghe didn't say thanks, and Qin Moling didn't ask any further questions, and ended the call.
He and Qin Moling have always been like this, and they have no habit of getting to the bottom of things. In fact, Qin Moling didn't know that he had missed Luo Qi for six years, and thought that it was after he returned to China that he became interested in Luo Qi.
However, Qin Moling couldn't let Qin Moling know, and after he knew, he couldn't write a small essay overnight to ridicule him.
Secretary Ju knocked on the door and came in, Jiang Shenghe collected his thoughts.
"Mr. Jiang, do you need to postpone the meeting time?" The time for the video meeting is up, and the boss has not been online, so she has no choice but to remind her.
Jiang Shenghe: "No need."
Turn off your phone and turn on your computer.
After returning from Jiang Shenghe, Luo Qi went to Jiang Yueru's office to answer.
Curious about her nephew's reaction, Jiang Yueru asked Luo Qi, "What did Mr. Jiang say?"
"Nothing."
should not.
This made Jiang Yue feel unbelievable. It was related to Luo Qi, and no matter how busy his nephew was, he would spare some energy to pay attention.
"Still working overtime tonight?" she asked.
Luo Qi replied truthfully: "Yes. I was not in the state for the past two days, and I have a lot of work."
"Bring your computer and go to my house to work overtime." Jiang Yueru said involuntarily, and put on her windbreaker, "I want to eat hot pot, but it's boring to eat alone."
Luo Qi couldn't refuse the boss' request. In fact, she knew that Jiang Dong asked her to go there not because eating hot pot alone was boring, but because he was worried about her state and asked her to eat hot pot to relieve the pain of breaking up.
Jiang Yueru left first, Luo Qi went back to the office to get the computer and important documents, and drove there by herself. Jiang Yueru's home, she often goes there, and knows the way by car.
Three days passed, and the parents were still sulking. They didn't call her a single call, and they didn't care at all. She took the initiative to call them, but they didn't answer.
I'm blaming her.
Blame her for not discussing it in advance, saying that if the wedding is cancelled, it will be cancelled. The family went bankrupt, and relatives were watching jokes behind her back. When this happened to her again, her parents' faces would definitely be embarrassing.
Just as she was distracted, her aunt called her.
This is the fourth call from her aunt since the breakup.
Luo Qi hesitated for a few seconds, then pressed the answer button on the central control screen.
"Qiqi, I didn't say you, you are too ignorant. Do you know how intolerable your parents are? You only care about yourself and don't care about the life and death of your family! I thought Shi Xiao made some unforgivable mistake, and I only found out when I asked. It's just acting on the occasion, and there is no substantive relationship, so why are you making use of it?"
Like every time, the eldest aunt came up and scolded her head and face.
Luo Qi was too lazy to talk, for the sake of her cousin, she resisted hanging up the phone.
The counting continues.
"The ones who advise you to break up are all because they don't want to see you well. Don't be stubborn. Believe what others say!"
"I listened to my aunt's persuasion, Shi Xiao's conditions are so good, if you miss this village, you won't have this shop! It's not a big mistake, just teach him a lesson and let him know what he knows."
The eldest aunt talked for a long time, but Luo Qi didn't respond at all.
Seeing her refraining from eating oil and salt, the eldest aunt was furious.
"You're not in your early twenties, and you'll be thirty in two years. What else do you want?"
"Don't forget that your family still owes a lot of debt, and you don't even have a decent house. You may not know it yet. The company your father invested in is not profitable this year, and it's hard to say whether it will survive next year. "
"I owe more than 10 million yuan, when can I pay it off? Who would dare to marry you from an ordinary family? That is to say, Shi Xiao doesn't dislike it and doesn't care, and people have to be pragmatic!"
Luo Qi finally said: "Don't worry, Auntie, I won't default on the money I owe your family. Within three years, I will pay you back the principal with interest."
The eldest aunt wanted to say something, but she cut off the call directly.
Having no time to be angry with her aunt, Luo Qi was thinking about the company her father had invested in. No wonder she couldn't see her father every time she went home for the past six months, and her father had lost weight.
It turned out that it wasn't what his mother said, that he deliberately lost weight in order to look good in a suit at her wedding, but because the company's profitability was not good, and he was under great pressure.
Within a few minutes, the family group became lively, and the eldest aunt accused her in the group. Several aunts favored the eldest aunt one after another, accusing her of not knowing good and bad, and having no respect for elders.
There's a red light at the intersection ahead.
While waiting for the signal light, Luo Qi turned on her phone, read the group message, and privately sent it to her father: [I will pay back the money owed to the uncle’s family. Marriage is impossible. 】
In fact, she is very rebellious in her bones. In recent years, because of the decline of her family, they always feel that she has no confidence and will accept everything. She deleted and quit the family group, and blocked all the WeChat accounts of all relatives who accused her these days.
The world is finally quiet.
Until the car drove to the gate of Jiang Yueru's villa, Luo Qi's chest was still on fire. The pain of breaking up was half **** off by parents and relatives at home.
Jiang Yueru likes to have dinner in the yard, the light is dim, the surrounding is lonely, and she eats alone while distracted. She enjoys this kind of loneliness.
Auntie prepared the hot pot ingredients and set the table in the yard in advance.
Jiang Yueru stopped drinking alcohol after the operation, and took out the cherry wine made by her aunt tonight.
Luo Qi put away her wine glass, "I don't drink, I have to work overtime." She pointed to the car in the parking space. It's inconvenient to take a taxi in the villa area, so she has to drive back.
Jiang Yueru didn't force herself, and poured herself half a glass. She didn't mention Luo Qi's breakup, "Where do you plan to go during the 11th holiday?"
Luo Qi didn't plan, "Go around the suburbs."
It costs money to go out and relax, so just find a place to play around, and you can go back and forth in a day without living outside. The money owed to the uncle's family was like a mountain, weighing on her head.
"Where do you live now?"
"hotel."
Jiang Yueru took a sip of cherry wine, "It's not convenient to stay in a hotel. Until you find a suitable house, stay at my house. Five or six rooms are empty."
Luo Qi declined: "The house has been found, and we will move on Saturday."
Jiang Yueru asked concerned: "Is the rented house far from the company?"
"It's not too far away." Luo Qi gave an approximate location, and there were old neighborhoods there.
Jiang Yueru estimated the distance, and the commuting time was at least fifty minutes. She knew that Luo Qi lived in the apartment before, even if she walked to the company, it would take no more than twenty minutes. It is not economically acceptable to rent a house so far away now.
She smiled, "Our commuting time is about the same."
Luo Qi also laughed, purely speaking from the distance, the villa area to the company is about the same distance as her rental house to the company.
The bottom of the hot pot was opened, and my aunt brought over a dozen dishes in total. They were placed on exquisite plates, and the portions were not large. They were all her favorite categories.
Jiang Yueru suddenly remembered that she could watch a movie while eating, "What movie do you want to watch?"
"I'm casual, there is basically no movie that I don't watch."
"Then watch a healing movie." It was a movie recommended by Jiang Shenghe to her. During the months of recuperating at home, she watched it whenever she had nothing to do, and felt different every time.
Luo Qi thought she was watching it on the computer and was about to take her own computer.
"You sit, you don't need a computer." Jiang Yueru said: "There is a screen, it's very convenient, let's watch it on the screen."
It didn't work for ten minutes. The workers at home fixed the curtains, turned off all the lighting lights in the yard, and turned off the street lights at the door.
Luo Qi and Jiang Yueru faced the curtain and sat side by side.
When the opening credits appeared, Jiang Yueru asked, "Have you seen it before?"
Not only have I seen it, today is the fifth brush.
Luo Qi smiled and said, "I have four movies in my favorites, and this one is the one I never get tired of watching."
"What a coincidence." Jiang Yueru marveled at the wonder of fate.
In the secluded yard, eating hot pot and watching her favorite movie, these were the most comfortable two hours for Luo Qi after the breakup.
No matter how long the movie has been on, the hot pot has been eaten for as long.
After watching and eating, the aunt brought fruit again.
Jiang Yueru handed Luo Qi a slice of watermelon, "I won't work overtime tonight. Don't worry, you won't be able to collapse tomorrow if you don't work overtime."
Luo Qi decided not to join, "Listen to Chairman Jiang's words, and there will be a way to make money."
The two laughed and chatted while eating.
Luo Qi found that every time she ate fruit at Jiang Yueru's place, she would attract Jiang Shenghe. After eating half of a piece of watermelon, Jiang Shenghe came.
She hurriedly stood up, "Boss Jiang."
Before he could stand still, Jiang Yueru pulled him onto the chair, "Why are you standing up. There are not so many rules during off-duty hours, just say hello."
Jiang Shenghe didn't expect Luo Qi to be here. He often ran to his aunt's house at night. While exercising, he could also talk to his aunt.
"You talk." He went upstairs to take a shower.
After taking a shower, his hair was only half-dried, and he put on a set of clean sportswear. Jiang Shenghe went downstairs to the yard, and Luo Qi was still there.
Jiang Yueru looked at the time, and at half past nine, she asked Jiang Shenghe, "Are you okay?"
Jiang Shenghe poured a glass of warm water to drink, "It's okay, I just came here for running."
Since it was fine, Jiang Yue issued the eviction order, "Then you guys go back, you have to go to work tomorrow. I'm tired too."
Luo Qi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, she ate a bit too much hot pot tonight, and Jiang Shenghe was here, all her nerves were unconsciously tense, which was not conducive to digestion.
Jiang Shenghe put down his water glass and left first.
"Jiang Dong, go to bed early." Luo Qi said goodbye.
"Drive slowly."
Jiang Yueru sent her to the parking lot and watched her drive the car out of the yard.
Luo Qi had just driven a few hundred meters away when a slender figure ahead came into view.
The boss knew her license plate, and it was impolite not to stop to be polite.
She tapped on the brakes and slowly stopped.
Jiang Shenghe turned his face when he heard the sound, her car window was just lowered, and her eyes met. Now he can look at her without any burden, and he doesn't have to be immoral anymore.
"President Jiang, do you want to drive you for a while?"
The answer Rocky expected to hear was no.
However, Jiang Shenghe seemed to think for a few seconds, "That will trouble you."
Rocky: "..."
She smiled slightly, "No trouble."
At this time, Jiang Shenghe's cell phone rang, and he swiped to answer it, and said, "No need to come here, Assistant Luo is here, take her car."
Rocky guessed that he was talking to the driver.
She took it as a favor to the driver, and the driver didn't need to run back and forth.
Jiang Shenghe hung up the phone and looked at her, "I'll drive. Move to the side of the road and wait for me for a few minutes."
He turned and walked towards the villa.
He took the initiative to drive, Luo Qi wished for it.
Her driving skills are mediocre, if Jiang Shenghe sits in the back row, she will have to sit on pins and needles all the way.
Luo Qi stopped on the side of the road, got out of the car and sat in the co-pilot.
A few minutes later, Jiang Shenghe came back with a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, and it was a bit difficult for him to drive at night without glasses to see the road conditions.
"Mr. Jiang, are you short-sighted?" She had nothing to say, and she couldn't keep the carriage silent.
Jiang Shenghe turned his face slightly, glanced at her from the corner of the eye, and she finally took the initiative to talk to him, but the word "you" separated their identities far away.
He said "hmm" and told her: "Myopia is three hundred degrees."
"Oh, that's okay." Luo Qi actually didn't care how much myopia he had.
Then there is nothing to say.
This time it was Jiang Shenghe who opened the topic: "Jiang Dong's health hasn't recovered yet, the working hours are longer, you should pay more attention."
"Okay, Mr. Jiang, don't worry."
Jiang Shenghe didn't want to chat any more, and every time she talked, she added "you".
He turned on the radio conveniently, tuned to a station at random, and it happened to be playing a song.
There was music in the carriage, the boss stopped talking, and kept focusing on driving, Luo Qi slowly relaxed. Once there was nothing to do, don't restrain yourself, and your thoughts would easily go away with the nostalgic singing.
"Where do you live?" Jiang Shenghe asked.
No one responded to him.
Jiang Shenghe looked back at her, she was distracted looking at the windshield.
Probably remembered someone again.
Being immersed in sadness all the time makes it harder to come out. He turned down the volume of the radio, so small that he could hardly hear it.
He took out his mobile phone and dialed Secretary Ju's number, and casually explained a few words about tomorrow's work arrangements.
The clear voice of the boss rang in her ears, and Luo Qi suddenly came back to her senses. She was easy to think about it when she was idle, and she took out the mobile phone on the bracket to read the email.
When Jiang Shenghe saw that her thoughts had come back, he hung up the phone and put his phone on her stand.
After listening to the songs all the way, with the end of the last song, this show also ended, and it was time for commercials.
Luo Qi looked sideways out of the car window, wondering where Jiang Shenghe lived.
Jiang Shenghe didn't go back to his residence. The moment he started the engine, he suddenly decided to take her back to his house and let her know what the place where he was born and raised was like.
A pass is required to enter, and Rocky's car is pulled over.
Jiang Shenghe opened the window and poked his head out. The person on duty saw who it was and let him go.
Luo Qi kept staring out the window, this place is quieter than the villa area where Jiang Yueru lives, and there are almost no pedestrians on the road in the community.
The car stopped in front of a villa, Jiang Shenghe unbuckled the seat belt, it was impossible to let her in, it was not suitable, "Be careful, pay attention to safety."
"It's okay." Luo Qi got out of the car and switched to the driver's seat.
When the boss got out of the car, even the air in the car jumped freely.
Jiang Shenghe didn't wait for her car to start, let alone watch her leave, and stepped into the courtyard of the villa.
He always reminded himself that he was the boss, and he should have the sense of propriety and the dignity he should have. She had just broken up in love, so he couldn't do anything beyond the rules, lest it backfire and make her realize something and avoid him from then on.
That's not worth the candle.
He has plenty of time, and he has to give her time to slowly come out of the last relationship.
When he got home, his aunt told him that his mother had already fallen asleep, "I should not be asleep yet, I'll go upstairs and call."
"Don't shout. You tell my mother, I'll come back for dinner tomorrow night."
Jiang Shenghe didn't stay at home, and drove back in his mother's car.
On the way, he received a call from Jiang Yueru.
Jiang Yueru usually goes to bed late, and she couldn't sleep tonight. In one day, the world was turned upside down. Who would have thought that Luo Qi would break up before receiving the certificate.
Even if she was happy, she kept pouring cold water on herself, trying to keep herself calm, because extreme happiness often leads to sadness.
There are some things that she has to talk to her nephew after thinking about it.
"Even if you chase after, you should calm down. Luo Qi just broke up, so she must not be in the mood for a romantic relationship. You may not have a chance right now. As for how long you will wait, it's hard to say."
Jiang Shenghe knew it well, he happened to have something to do, "Auntie, I have something to discuss with you."
Jiang Yueru was thinking about how she could do her little bit for her nephew, when the opportunity came, "You don't need to discuss it, just speak up."
Jiang Shenghe said: "I plan to transfer Luo Qi to be my assistant."
