MTL - Seventh Year of My Secret Love for You-Chapter 45
Jiang Shenghe was envious of Qin Moling's wedding photos, and even had a bad time with the elders in Shanghai, saying that Qin Moling's wedding photos were taken by someone.
Don't be envious in the future, he will have it soon.
He has never cared about when the salary and bonus will arrive. Today is the first time: "When will the third quarter bonus be paid?"
"Just this month, usually before the end of the month."
Luo Qi put away all her things, and when the five rounds of presentations were over, she smiled and said, "I won." It was only on the surface, and she knew in her heart that Jiang Shenghe had much more to do with her than that.
He wouldn't tell her all at once, maybe there were some things that he didn't intend to let her know at all. But today he finally knew where he saw her for the first time.
Jiang Shenghe was willing to lose to her, "I will cook you breakfast for a month. You can ask me one more thing."
"You're not considered a loser." Luo Qi wanted to do something for him, "To be fair, you cook me breakfast, and I promise you one request, as long as I can do it."
Jiang Shenghe wanted her to sleep in the master bedroom, but he didn't want to force her.
He stretched out his hand: "Come and sit on my lap and hug me for two hours."
"...Just this request?"
"Well." He said, "Nothing else."
Just hug her.
Luo Qi got up slowly, thinking about whether to sit sideways or how to sit.
Jiang Shenghe looked at his watch, it was four o'clock in two hours, and the terrace was not warm at that time.
"Send things back first."
The umbrella has not been received in the box, and it is erected beside the terrace. The forecast will rain again tomorrow, so it should be usable. He carried the suitcase to the cloakroom and brought his suit over.
Rocky saw the suit in his hand and guessed it was for her.
"I put the bag back too."
She didn't go back to the bedroom to put her bag. She took out the nightgown with the longest skirt and put it on. The nightgown was very thin, and it shouldn't be too cold with his suit.
Jiang Shenghe thought she wanted to wear his clothes after changing the skirt, so he gave her the suit directly.
He sat down on the chair and asked her: "How do you want to sit?"
Even the sitting position is a choice.
Luo Qi said solemnly, "I've made up my mind."
Jiang Shenghe gave him his hand for her to support.
No matter how he sat, it was nothing more than sitting sideways or straddling his lap, but he never expected that she would sit cross-legged, with the long skirt completely covering her legs.
Her knees were almost touching his belly.
Jiang Shenghe couldn't help but laugh, "I shouldn't let you choose."
He was worried that she would fall from behind, and put his arms around her back, "Aren't you tired from sitting like this?" Anyway, he felt tired just looking at it.
Luo Qi shook her head, "I have practiced dancing since I was a child, and my basic skills are solid. Later, I practiced yoga, and my flexibility is not bad."
Jiang Shenghe looked at her with a smile on the corner of his mouth, helplessly and spoiled, "Then sit like this and see if you can hold on for two hours."
Luo Qi proposed: "You can only hug, if anyone wants to foul, the hug will end."
Who else could this be but him.
Jiang Shenghe nodded and agreed to her.
The sleeves of his suit were long, covering the back of Luo Qi's hands. She simply retracted her hands into the sleeves and flicked the sleeves to play. Jiang Shenghe looked at her, and she looked at his suit sleeve.
The two of them didn't do anything, and he just watched her make various little moves. It was hard for Jiang Shenghe to imagine before, can he bear such a relationship? It turned out that it was not only bearable, but also enjoyable.
He has never been in love, and he has never paid attention to what the people around him talk about. I don't know if all love is like this. Others find it boring, but the person involved is immersed in it and enjoys it.
"Mr. Jiang, I'll draw a picture for you, a better one." This time, I don't paint the glasses black.
Jiang Shenghe reminded her: "Once."
"Mr. Jiang, find me a pen and paper."
"twice."
This is the first time I dare to joke with him, although it is not funny.
She got down to business: "Luo Yu is staying with me for the time being, and I'll stay in the villa for two more days." Or maybe three days, depending on the situation at that time, and Mr. Jiang will make up when necessary.
Jiang Shenghe stared at her. On the eleventh day after receiving the certificate, she would finally talk to him half-jokingly, unable to imagine what it was like when she was clinging to someone.
"Stay a few more days, stay for a week."
Luo Qi didn't comment, anyway, she would not reject him.
Speaking of Luo Yu, she thought that Luo Yu had planted oil paintings, and wanted one too. She told Jiang Shenghe the ins and outs of the matter, feeling melancholy: "Luo Yu asked me to ask where your store is."
Jiang Shenghe didn't hesitate at all: "Let her give me the photos she wants to copy."
"You don't know Luo Yu. If she grows grass, she can't only draw one piece, maybe she has to make up twelve pieces." How could Teacher Yu keep copying paintings for others when he has time.
If Jiang Shenghe thought about it, Teacher Yu really couldn't spare so much time.
"Give her one first. Pick a time and tell her what our relationship is."
Luo Qi asked him how much an oil painting cost. She couldn't afford all the expenses, but she had to pay for the materials.
"That painting will be given to Luo Yu as a New Year's gift, and I will pay part of it."
Jiang Shenghe smiled, "It's the same as your painting, and I charge you three thousand five."
"It's definitely not the money."
"I said yes."
Jiang Shenghe was still thinking that she was going to draw for him, so he went to the study to get her a pen and paper, "Come down first?"
He wanted to hug her, but she was sitting cross-legged, just to keep a little distance from him.
Luo Qi put down her legs and sat astride, "Didn't you say hug for two hours?"
She moved forward, almost sticking in front of him, wrapping her arms around his neck, "Don't come down."
Jiang Shenghe lifted her up, and Luo Qi grabbed his waist tightly.
Just now she thought that she was sitting cross-legged because she didn't want to be so close to him, but now she realized that she had interpreted it wrong, and she was adapting to him in her own way.
Jiang Shenghe carried her to the study, there should be the pen she needs in the pen container, "You take it yourself."
There was paper on the table, Luo Qi randomly took a piece of paper, and the same with the pen, and pulled out a black signature pen.
"I haven't learned how to draw, I just draw blindly."
"I see."
"..." Luo Qi asked knowingly: "Then do you think it looks good?"
Jiang Shenghe looked at her, "It's pretty."
At the moment they looked at each other, he wanted to kiss her, but he always thought in his heart that if he kissed and hugged, it would be over. He hadn't hugged enough, so he endured and endured.
Back on the terrace, Jiang Shenghe changed a chair and sat down against the light.
Her back is facing the light, which is convenient for her to draw.
There were financial magazines on the table, and Luo Qi took one and placed it under the white paper.
There is no need for a whole blank sheet of paper, she folds it in half, revealing the top half of the financial magazine, which is the latest monthly issue of Iridium. She suddenly remembered that he also accepted an exclusive interview a few days ago, and she didn't know in which issue it was published.
Luo Qi also needs a prop, looking at him: "I want to draw your state when you wear myopia glasses."
"Yes." The glasses were in the study, and Jiang Shenghe picked her up again without bothering her.
Compared with sitting, he prefers to hug her while standing, and her whole body is attached to him.
It turns out that love is like this, before you do anything, you slip away in 20 minutes.
I took my glasses and went back to the terrace again.
The coffee that was originally boiling hot was no longer warm.
Luo Qi opened the glasses case, gave him the glasses, handed them out and then withdrew her hands, and helped him put them on herself. She pinched the temples with her fingertips, being careful not to be careful, and did not touch him anywhere.
Then she fiddled with the broken hair on his forehead, only when she was on the bed, she ran her fingers through his hair.
Stopping his breath in time to think about it, Luo Qi adjusted his glasses solemnly.
Jiang Shenghe wanted to take a picture of this scene, but his mobile phone was not next to him. It was placed on the other side of the table, out of reach.
After putting on the glasses, Luo Qi picked up the coffee and drank it. It happened that the coffee was cold and could cool down.
By drinking coffee, secretly take a breath.
When she put glasses on him just now, she couldn't help holding her breath.
Luo Qi raised the magazine to prevent him from seeing how she drew, and then she started to write in a decent manner, "When I draw for you, try not to move, and keep your expression unchanged."
Jiang Shenghe wanted to laugh, but held back, "Okay."
With one stroke, the jaw line was crooked, too obvious to be remedied.
This stroke can only be discarded, Luo Qi changed to the blank space and continued to draw.
His jaw line is clear and smooth, she can't draw that feeling, after a few seconds of dawdling, she can finally look up and observe him, from the narrow and deep eyes to the high bridge of the nose.
She didn't have the opportunity or dare to look at him like this before, but today, by drawing a picture, she can look at him blatantly and carefully.
In the past, he was the one who stared at her. It was the first time for Jiang Shenghe to be stared at by someone like this, and he was stared at by someone he liked for a long time, so he felt awkward.
It was also the first time in his life that he felt cramped.
Luo Qi paid attention to the timing, stared at him for about a minute, then lowered her head and continued to draw on the paper.
In fact, looking at it is useless, she can't draw at all.
Jiang Shenghe asked: "How long will it take to finish painting?"
"Twenty minutes or so."
Stick figures can be sketched out in a few minutes, but drawing is not the purpose, but wanting to see him is.
He stops and draws, and observes him half the time.
Ten minutes later, Jiang Shenghe couldn't help being curious: "How is the drawing? Let me see."
"The drawing is not good." Luo Qi held up the paper for him to see.
Jiang Shenghe: "..."
It has nothing to do with him.
"Didn't I say that I didn't learn to draw, they were all scribbles." Luo Qi added hair to the stick figure, and the 'magnificent work' was completed.
Only now did Jiang Shenghe realize that she didn't really want to paint.
He took the pen and paper from her hand and wrote a line: the eleventh day of obtaining the certificate.
Luo Qi's leg became numb successfully.
It took a while for the numbness to pass.
She got off Jiang Shenghe's lap and motioned him to stand up, "I'll give you a hug."
It was inconvenient to wear a suit, so Rocky took it off.
"Isn't it cold when you take it off?"
"Cold and put on again."
Jiang Shenghe thought she was just hugging him, so he took the suit and planned to put it on her shoulders.
Luo Qi wrapped her hands around his waist, exerting all her strength, trying to hold him off the ground for a few seconds, his legs were too long, it felt like he was off the ground, but in fact he wasn't.
"Luo Qi, what are you doing? You can't hold her." He was really worried about pushing her down.
When she let go of him, Jiang Shenghe rubbed her arm.
"It's okay, I'm not tired." She was cold in a suspender skirt, and she hurriedly put on her suit.
Jiang Shenghe sat down and gave her another chair: "Stop hugging, you sit on the chair." Her leg was numb just now, and she felt uncomfortable for a while.
Luo Qi buttoned up her suit, "I promise you, two hours."
Instead of sitting cross-legged, she straddled his lap.
I didn't get used to it at first, so I took my phone to watch it.
There was unread news in the work group, so she clicked on it.
Jiang Shenghe looked down and saw the background picture of her chat, which was the one he used as a screensaver.
"Like this photo?"
"Yeah." Luo Qi said, "I liked it before, but you were the boss back then, so I didn't dare to ask more questions." This sitting position was a bit ambiguous, so she searched her brains for something to say: "When was the photo taken?"
"Seven years ago."
"You have used this screensaver for seven years?"
"Um."
As long as it is related to this number, it means it is related to her.
"You met me in Times Square?" It didn't feel like such a coincidence.
Jiang Shenghe answered irrelevantly: "Look at the photos where there is something special."
Luo Qi zoomed in on the photo and searched from the top to the bottom. In the crowd, she saw a familiar skirt, and the person wearing the skirt was her.
She also set her own screen saver as this picture.
I raised my head and looked at him, since I didn't add Mr. Jiang, the distance with him seemed to be a little closer, "How many things do you have that I can't even guess?"
Jiang Shenghe smiled lightly: "Not much."
Luo Qi naturally didn't believe it.
The gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose were still there. She took them off and wiped them with a glasses cloth.
"I'll treat you to dinner tonight. Let's go out to eat."
Jiang Shenghe thought for a while: "Stay at home, aren't you worried about being bumped into by Yuanwei's colleagues?"
"I have a solution. It's not shopping, and I can't explain it when I bump into it." Luo Qi continued to wipe her glasses.
Jiang Shenghe asked: "Go to the tavern?"
"No. Go to a restaurant that I went to with you, Jiang Sixun invited us to eat there."
After wiping the glasses, Luo Qi put them on again without putting them in the glasses case.
Jiang Shenghe laughed. She played with a pair of glasses for more than ten minutes.
The eleventh day of receiving the certificate seems to be also the first day of their relationship.
Time passed quickly, two hours felt like two minutes.
Jiang Shenghe's cell phone rang, and Luo Qi helped to bring it to him, and the screen displayed impressively: Natural Enemy
Luo Qi looked at him, Jiang Shenghe explained: "My dad's phone number."
"..." Luo Qi was not very surprised, she knew that he and his father were incompatible, "You pick it up." She made an excuse to leave, "I'm going to the bathroom."
"No need." Jiang Shenghe clasped her waist tightly, not letting her move.
Swipe the answer button, "Hello, Dad."
"Why did your mother go to Sioux City? She also said that she was going to renovate the villa. Do you know what's going on?" He had argued with his wife before, but it wasn't a quarrel. She was about to separate?
Jiang Shenghe: "My mother didn't like the previous decoration style."
Asking is tantamount to asking for nothing.
Father Jiang: "When will your mother come back?"
"I don't know, she didn't say."
One question and three questions.
The relationship between Jiang's father and his youngest son has eased, but he said nothing, "Okay, go ahead."
Before Jiang Shenghe hung up the phone, he said another word of concern: "The temperature has cooled down these few days, dad, please wear more."
The sudden concern made Jiang's father a little overwhelmed, "Yeah." The three words "you too" did not come out.
call ended.
Going to the restaurant for dinner at night, the two went back to their rooms to change clothes.
Jiang Shenghe originally wanted to wear casual clothes, but just now Luo Qi specially told him to wear business clothes.
I don't know what her so-called good way is.
Jiang Shenghe got a new shirt and a new suit.
Passing the door of Rocky's room, she happened to come out.
Like him, she was wearing a shirt and suit, holding a few portfolios in one hand and a computer bag in the other.
Luo Qi smiled slightly, "These are all props. I just filled the file bag with random things." She held up the computer bag, but it was empty.
"It's not awkward to meet acquaintances this way."
The company cafeteria is not open during holidays, so it is normal to eat in restaurants after working overtime. As Jiang Shenghe, it is not surprising that he eats work meals in high-end restaurants.
Jiang Shenghe: "I'll take the portfolio."
She slowly entered the state of getting along with the two of them, and she was able to calm down and find ways to go out on a date. From last night to tonight, one day's getting along can catch up with the previous ten days.
Luo Qi was driving, on the way to the restaurant, she made an agreement with Jiang Shenghe in advance that he would always call him Mr. Jiang outside, and this was not included in the punishment.
Jiang Shenghe sat in the co-pilot with nothing to do, and he was afraid of distracting her attention by talking to her. He swiped through Moments, and He Xu sent a Moments five minutes ago, with only one word: Heh.
It seemed that Luo Yu was very angry.
He also sent a circle of friends, only two sets of numbers:
9.25
10.6
I haven't posted to Moments in the past year, and suddenly there is a news, a group of small messages.
Qin Moling privately sent him: [What do you mean? 9.25 The first confession was rejected? Rejected again today? 】
Jiang Shenghe: [If you are really bored, go back and post your wedding photos. 】
Qin Moling didn't bother with someone who didn't have a girlfriend, so he withdrew the message.
Jiang Shenghe thought about it and withdrew.
He asked Qin Moling: [Who did you take your wedding photos with? 】
Qin Moling replied: [My own P. 】
Jiang Shenghe: "..."
Qin Moling didn't think that Jiang Shenghe was seriously asking him who the wedding photographer was, but thought he was trying to squeeze him out.
Thinking that Luo Qi should have a photographer she likes, Jiang Shenghe didn't ask any more questions.
At the restaurant, Luo Qi had the intuition of an assistant, and walked behind Jiang Shenghe. Fortunately, she was careful and well prepared, and she really met an acquaintance.
Lu Rui invited clients to dinner tonight, but he did not expect to meet Jiang Shenghe, the boss of the group, and Luo Qi, who will soon be the general manager of Ruipu.
Luo Qi was holding a computer in her hand, and Jiang Shenghe was holding a file bag. It seemed that they went to work normally during the holidays.
"President Jiang, Manager Luo." Lu Rui took the initiative to greet him.
Jiang Shenghe nodded slightly, "Together?"
"No, I have an appointment with a client." After chatting a few more words, Lu Rui went to the private room.
Jiang Shenghe booked a seat by the window in the hall with Luo Qi. Eating is secondary. The main thing is to watch the night view and feel the mood of a date.
Luo Qi looked at Lu Rui's back, thoughtful.
Lu Rui's most hated person is Jiang Shenghe, because Jiang Shenghe forced him to have nowhere to go, so he had no choice but to sell Ruipu's shares, and she is Jiang Shenghe's most trusted subordinate, so she naturally became Lu Rui's A thorn in the side.
After going to Ruipu, no matter what decision Lu Rui made, it was impossible for him to cooperate. In fact, she had the same goal as him and wanted Ruipu to go further.
But Lu Rui definitely doesn't believe it, and has decided that she is here to disband the original management team.
She has to do the opposite.
"What are you thinking?"
Jiang Shenghe interrupted her thoughts, Luo Qi said: "I thought about how to deal with Lu Rui."
"That's good." Jiang Shenghe didn't point fingers and let her figure it out by herself.
As soon as the vacation was over, Luo Qi went to Ruipu and never saw Jiang Shenghe again during working hours.
Life under the same roof with Jiang Shenghe was a little smoother than expected. Thinking back carefully, I didn't seem to do anything for three days, but the time passed in such a hurry.
No real strawberries were planted either, she was hinting him in that direction intentionally or unintentionally, and he hasn't received the signal yet. She asked him, what kind of plant is suitable? The best thing to eat.
He said: Pumpkin?
I don't know what his brain circuit is.
Later, after recollection, she likes to eat pumpkin glutinous rice cakes.
He once asked her what she had for breakfast, and she said pumpkin glutinous rice cakes, which he remembered.
At noon yesterday, the pumpkin seeds purchased online had arrived at home. It was cold and the temperature was not suitable for planting. When she went out this morning, the workers in the family started to set up a greenhouse in the yard, and the pumpkins had already been planted.
Growing strawberries is probably hopeless.
On the first day of taking office, the executive meeting was held at 9:30.
Lu Rui first pulled her into the work group and expressed a warm welcome.
On the surface, she is Lu Rui's boss, representing the controlling shareholder Yuanwei Group. However, in fact, R&D and marketing are in the hands of Lu Rui, and she has no right to speak.
Before, Jiang Shenghe asked her to sort out the personal resume of Ruipu's management team. She was no stranger to them, and their names and names matched their names.
At the meeting, Lu Rui briefly talked about the current difficulties Ruipu is facing.
When Yuanwei Group acquired Ruipu at the beginning, it wanted to let it fend for itself without any support.
Luo Qi flipped through the meeting materials, she already knew what she should know, "Is there anything else?"
Lu Rui: "Wait for Mr. Luo to make arrangements."
He speaks impeccably, and Luo Qi learned from Jiang Shenghe when he accompanied Jiang Shenghe to the R&D center last time.
Luo Qi closed the file, "I don't have any arrangements. Whoever you reported to in the past, now and in the future, will remain the same, and you don't need to report to me."
She looked at Lu Rui beside her and said, "Then Mr. Lu will have to work hard. If you encounter a problem that can't be solved, we will have a meeting to discuss it."
"Since everyone is fine, let's leave the meeting."
Lu Rui didn't figure out what she meant, playing hard to get?
"Mr. Luo, I'll welcome you tonight, so we can get acquainted with each other."
"Thank you for your kindness. On the first day of work, there are after-effects of the holiday. Everyone is very tired. I don't like to deal with the leader after get off work and have dinner with the leader. I don't want to. What should everyone do at night? We will have dinner later There are plenty of opportunities.”
She got up and was the first to leave the meeting room.
Secretary Chi Xin followed closely, feeling uneasy. She is an old employee, and getting along with a new boss who is not in the same camp, she can foresee how difficult the future work will be.
After Luo Qi left, more than a dozen people in the meeting room looked at each other in blank dismay. They prepared tricks to make things difficult, but none of them worked, and Luo Qi didn't take the trick at all.
"Mr. Luo." Chi Xin knocked on the door, "Do you have any orders?"
Luo Qi looked at Chi Xin, as if seeing her former self. She only wanted to do a good job and get a stable salary, and she didn't want to participate in the struggles of the company's top management.
She smiled: "No, you are busy with your daily work."
"Okay. Mr. Luo, you are busy. Call me anytime if you need anything."
Chi Xin breathed a sigh of relief and carefully closed the door.
At noon, the front desk of the company received two bouquets of flowers.
The recipient is Luo Qi, and the signature is: 9.25
It's just been separated for a morning, and it feels like I haven't seen it for a long time. She was used to seeing him on the first day of work, used to knock on the door, and called out to Mr. Jiang.
I'm not used to it now.
I don't know what he is doing now, whether he is taking a lunch break or having a video conference.
Luo Qi sent him a message: [I received flowers. Why buy two bundles, one bundle is enough. 】
Jiang Shenghe came back quickly: 【Good things come in pairs. 】
Then he asked with concern: 【The first day at work, how do you feel? 】
Luo Qi: [Fortunately, I'm getting used to it. Miss the President's Office. 】
Jiang Shenghe: [But I'm not the person in charge of the president. 】
Luo Qi replied seriously: [In a sense, it counts. 】
She missed the president's office, and also missed him a little bit.
