MTL - Seventh Year of My Secret Love for You-Chapter 56
Qin Moling's circle of friends let everyone know that the pumpkins were planted by Jiang Shenghe, so they said why Qin Moling was so boring, drying the pumpkins for three days in a row.
Xu Xiangyi gave Qin Moling a thumbs up. He never likes or leaves a comment when he sees the dynamics of the younger generation's circle of friends. Today is free, and he is in a good mood. He teased them: [If you can't finish eating, don't use it to honor me. 】
Twenty minutes later, Xu Xiangyi received a message from Jiang Shenghe, a screenshot of the courier number.
[Uncle Xu, the newly picked little pumpkin has been sent to you by express delivery, and it will arrive early tomorrow morning. 】
The dozen or so pumpkins in the trunk were about to be delivered, but Qin Moling refused to accept them, and now they just had a place to go.
Xu Xiangyi: "..."
He laughed and said: [You really sent it? 】
【Well, I planted it myself, so I have to let you taste it. 】
【Rocky likes to eat pumpkin? 】
[I don't like it very much, I misjudged it. 】
Xu Xiangyi laughed.
At this time the secretary came over and said that Yu Bo was here.
Xu Xiangyi was still in the yard, took his coat, "Tell him to wait for me in the tea room."
After yesterday's video conference with Luo Qi, Yu Bo made an appointment with Secretary Xu Xiangyi, and he didn't meet the boss until this morning. Cui Peng is not an ordinary relationship householder, but the boss personally called him to arrange for him to come in.
When something like this happens, it is necessary to report clearly to the boss.
Cui Peng called him yesterday afternoon, saying that he would resign voluntarily, and said pitifully: Mr. Yu, I will explain to my uncle myself that I am to blame for this matter, and I will not embarrass you.
Once bitten by a snake, now he can't trust Cui Peng's words for no reason.
Who knows what she will do in front of Xu Xiangyi, don't say that you are innocent, and blame Ling Jia Capital and him.
The door of the tea room opened and Xu Xiangyi came in.
Yu Bo stood up, "Xu Dong."
Xu Xiangyi pressed his hand, "Sit." Putting his coat on the chair, he washed his hands and made tea.
"Luo Qi plans to focus on the mid-end market?"
"Well. The low-end market should be given to Dongbo Medical." This is Yu Bo's guess.
After turning off the faucet, Xu Xiangyi tore off a towel, and only gave a two-word evaluation: "Not bad."
It is already a very high appreciation for the boss to say the word "good".
Yu Bo also thought it was good, as Luo Qi said, this was the only way she could fight for Rui Pu. If Ruipu dominates the mid-range market, he can make a lot of money by holding shares in Ruipu.
There is no need to go head-to-head with Yuanwei Medical, but to compete for the fat in the high-end market.
There is something to gain.
Rocky put this sentence into full play at yesterday's meeting.
Losing face and becoming a talking point for her subordinates, she felt happy and cleared away all obstacles that Cui Peng might bring to her work in the future.
Xu Xiangyi started to make tea, "You can make a decision on these things, what can you do to me?"
Yu Bo actually found it difficult to speak out, cheating and cleaning up the mistress were all resolved in private, who would hold a high-level meeting and bring it up on the table like Luo Qi.
As the person in charge of the company, she put aside all the demeanor that should be maintained on the scene. He reminded her repeatedly at the meeting yesterday that she didn't care at all.
"Luo Qi and Pei Shixiao used to be lovers."
Xu Xiangyi knew about it seven years ago and signaled him to continue.
"Pei Shixiao cheated on her before marriage, and the person she cheated on was Cui Peng."
"Cui Peng?" Xu Xiangyi frowned, "Is that the little girl I arranged for Ling Jia?"
"Well. I had a good impression of her before."
Xu Xiangyi nodded, knowing why Yu Bo came here.
Seeing that the boss didn't respond much, Yu Bo didn't even care about Cui Peng, so he continued: "At yesterday's meeting, Luo Qi connected us to solve Cui Peng in public, and even showed the cheating video."
He picked the key points and told Xu Xiangyi about some things at the meeting.
Xu Xiangyi didn't comment after hearing this, and smiled, "Luo Qi didn't mean you at the meeting?"
"Connotation."
"Cui Peng often goes to Ruipu?"
"should."
"Ling Jia doesn't participate in Ruipu's operation at all, so it takes three days to run there?"
Yu Bo didn't say a word, it was he who indulged Cui Peng invisibly. When Cui Peng applied to be in charge of the project in Beijing, he hesitated, but in the end his reason was defeated.
So Luo Qi taunted him at the meeting, but he was speechless and powerless to fight back.
Xu Xiangyi got straight to the point of the matter, "Did you know beforehand that Cui Peng and Luo Qi had a feud?"
"...Know."
"But you still continue to arrange for Cui Peng to meet Ruipu."
Yu Bo admitted: "It's my problem."
Xu Xiangyi didn't want to blame him, but asked him to learn from Luo Qiduo.
"Jiang Shenghe suddenly appeared at the meeting yesterday. Luo Qi should also be suffering. She can't solve her personal affairs on the stage in front of the boss. Everyone is under pressure and her level and ability will be questioned. But she knows what she wants and still follows the Come up with your own ideas, and no one disrupts the rhythm."
Yu Bo drank the tea, he should have been more firm in the beginning and refused to agree with Cui Peng to go to Beijing.
At the charity reception that day, he met his boss, and Cui Peng kept yelling at his uncle and uncle, which disturbed him deeply.
Xu Xiangyi suddenly laughed, "You have to treat Luo Qi to dinner another day, after all, she asked Cui Peng to resign voluntarily, saving you the money for dismissal and compensation."
Yu Bo: "..."
This angle is a bit odd.
"It seems that Yuanwei Group is going to support Ruipu vigorously. When Ruipu turns around, you may invest in ten companies, and Ruipu will not necessarily make more money for you."
Yu Bo nodded.
Xu Xiangyi said: "You are the director of Ruipu in the first place, so as not to cause trouble, and don't send other people over there, if you have anything to do, you can contact Luo Qi personally."
"...OK."
Isn't this sending Luo Qi to slap her face?
Not long after Luo Qi arrived at the company, she received a call from Secretary Yu Bo.
The secretary said: "We will personally attend the important meetings." For other minor matters, she will directly report to the general manager.
This is exactly what Luo Qi wanted, no need to send messages in the middle, saving time and efficiency.
The secretary conveyed Yu Bo's meaning again, and Cui Peng has already offered to resign, and he will be able to hand over the job soon.
Luo Qi is not interested in when Cui Peng will leave his job, nor does she want to hear his name again.
A day later, Lu Rui hasn't come to her yet, so I don't know what he thinks.
Ruipu is busy for the time being, so she went to Yuanwei Group to report the work progress to Li Rui.
Li Rui has also been in a state of distress recently. Yuanwei Medical's top management bombarded her with phone calls and text messages every day, and the company's strategic adjustments caused a lot of scolding from below.
Luo Qi came many times, and got to know Li Rui well, and they chatted about everything. There is a coffee machine in Li Rui's office. She made two cups and added half a carton of milk to Li Rui's cup.
"I haven't challenged myself for several years." Li Rui smiled, "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't dare to take risks."
Don't want to take any chances either.
If you want to achieve results, you have to take risks. At her level, you just want to seek a stable job until you retire.
When she came to Yuanwei, she was just married and had no children.
Now my son is in high school.
She worked very hard when she was young, and it was her limit to fight for the position of deputy director.
It is not a matter of a few words of decision-making for Yuanwei Medical to cut off the middle and low-end market, and the follow-up will be troublesome.
Contracts with major material suppliers and customers have to be dealt with. Withdrawing from the low-end market, patients and customers have to continue to provide follow-up maintenance and services. Whether to continue or stop clinical data tracking.
The team also had to realign.
If Ruipu Medical wants to give up the high-end market, it faces the same problems as Yuanwei Medical.
Before fully supporting Luo Qi's work, she thought carefully, if she does not adjust the market positioning of several companies now, and does not make a decisive decision, after three to five years, Yuanwei Group's medical sector will not be able to comprehensively compete, and will be overwhelmed by competitors. crushed.
Long-term pain is worse than short-term pain.
Li Rui said: "Your side will be more stressed and difficult than me."
In any case, no matter how high-level executives of Yuanwei Medical have complaints, those who should cooperate have to hold their noses to cooperate, but Lu Rui is different.
Luo Qi smiled, "No matter how difficult it is, two years will pass."
For strategic adjustments, a two-year transition period is almost sufficient.
"Lingjia Capital, replace it with Yu Bo to connect with me."
"This person is interesting. He was beaten like that by you at the meeting, and he is still willing to meet you?"
"who knows."
After reporting on the work, Luo Qi took another cup of coffee.
[President Jiang, I'm in President Li's office. 】
I don't know if he is busy now.
Jiang Shenghe: [Come here when you're done, I'll wait for you. 】
Rocky: [I'm done. 】
[Then come here now. 】
Xiao Jiang was in the aisle outside and had just hung up on his wife's phone.
He wiped the corners of his eyes and smiled unconsciously.
Looking out the window and taking a deep breath, I feel that the sky seems to have turned sunny.
"Xiao Jiang." Luo Qi came out of the elevator and saw his back.
"Sister Luo."
Xiao Jiang suppressed the excitement in her heart and walked over in a few steps.
His wife just told him on the phone that he has become a father, and he can't calm down now.
He also blessed the boss before, wishing the boss an early baby, who would have thought that the boss and Luo Qi would be BE.
Approaching, Luo Qi saw that his eye circles were red.
"What's wrong? Was approved by President Jiang?"
"No, no." Xiao Jiang said with a smile, "Don't misunderstand Mr. Jiang. He is happy."
He was a little shy and didn't say that he became a father, and he would tell them when the fetus was older.
Jiang Shenghe opened the office door ahead of time, waiting for her to come.
When he arrived at the door, he happened to look over, and Luo Qi didn't knock on the door again.
"want to go out?"
"Um."
Jiang Shenghe was putting on his coat, "You go with me. I invite Qin Moling and Jian Hang to dinner at noon. He said that he hurt himself from eating pumpkin. I will improve his food."
If Luo Qi didn't come to Yuanwei today, he didn't plan to invite Qin Moling.
Luo Qi asked Uncle Fan to pick her up at the hotel around one o'clock, and she went there in Jiang Shenghe's car.
The four of them often get together at Teacher Chen's house, and this is the first time they eat outside.
Taking off their jackets, the four of them were dressed unexpectedly harmoniously today. They were all white shirts and dark trousers, as if they had just come over for a work meal after a meeting.
Jiang Shenghe took Luo Qi's down jacket, and Qin Moling was holding Jian Hang's down jacket in his hand. He clarified to Jian Hang: "I took your clothes first."
Don't say that he is a good learner.
Jiang Shenghe didn't know the truth, "You still have to fight for the first place when you put on clothes? I didn't see you fighting for the primary school exam."
"..." Jian Hang is here, and he has to save face even if he doesn't want to speak up, "I was going to compete for the first place in the exam, what else is there for you?"
Jiang Shenghe put away Luo Qi's clothes, sat down, and said, "I never passed the exam, and it won't affect my ranking if you compete."
Qin Moling: "..."
Luo Qi laughed, watching them reveal their old stories to each other.
Jian Hang cared about their two little milk dogs and asked what their names were.
Luo Qi put down the water glass, "I haven't picked it up yet. After thinking about a few names, I'm not satisfied."
Qin Moling didn't understand: "Just choose any name for the puppy."
Jian Hang interjected: "You have no relationship with them, they are just pet dogs to you, but they are children to the two of them, how can you take them casually."
They chatted enthusiastically, Jiang Shenghe took a few sips from Luo Qi's water glass, and put it back to the original place.
He is left-handed, and he held Luo Qi's water glass in his left hand, and the two people on the opposite side didn't pay attention.
Luo Qi calmly took her water glass again, pressed the rim of the glass he had drunk, and took a shallow sip.
During the period, the chat with Jian Hang continued: "Jiang Shenghe went home last night and asked his mother to help him think of a good name. I don't know if my mother can think of it."
Jiang Shenghe suddenly turned to look at her, and she kept addressing Professor Liang in front of him.
When she called Mom, it gave him a sense of belonging.
Qin Moling answered, "If Aunt Jiang really can't think of it, I'll take it."
Jiang Shenghe looked at him, "What good name can you come up with?"
Qin Moling took the fork that he didn't like to eat on Jian Hang's dinner plate, and said quietly: "Anyway, I'm better than you. I can write a review better than you."
"..."
Jiang Shenghe almost forgot that Qin Moling was someone who could write short essays.
This time he didn't choke him, and said in a good voice: "Then my daughter's name will be entrusted to you."
Just as Luo Qi put the water glass to her mouth, she forgot to drink the water when she heard the word "daughter", so she put the glass down.
Since receiving the certificate, she has never thought about the child.
If you have a daughter, you should be like him.
Luo Qi ate very little, and there were still two-thirds of the meat on the plate.
Jiang Shenghe told her to let it go, "I'll eat it later."
There is not much time at noon, and there are still things to be busy when returning to the company. Several people did not stay in the restaurant after eating.
When we got downstairs, Jian Hang said, "I'll go to your house some other day to see the two little milk dogs."
Rocky: "You are always welcome."
"Come over when I'm not busy." Jian Hang waved his hand, and Qin Moling led her to pick up the car.
Jiang Shenghe also wanted to lead Luo Qi openly, and now she was standing one meter away.
There were two tiny white fluffs on his black coat, which should be from her down jacket. Luo Qi took two steps forward and dusted them off with her hand.
Suddenly realizing that he was Mr. Jiang outside, she consciously took a step back.
Uncle Fan drove over, he didn't go back to the Ruipu cafeteria to eat, he just ate something nearby and waited in the car.
He is more leisurely than Luo Qi, and has nothing to do when he goes to work every day.
When I worked as a driver for Jiang Yueru, I ran out almost every day, sometimes on long-distance business trips. Since I drove Luo Qi, except for occasionally sending her to Yuanwei, I have basically been fine.
Rocky saw her car approaching, "See you tonight."
Jiang Shenghe stared at her for a few seconds, stepped forward, took her hand and held it, and sent her to the front of the car.
Seeing this, Uncle Fan stepped on the brake.
In the afternoon, in a public place, he actually held her directly, and Luo Qi's heart beat faster.
Three to five meters away from the car, Jiang Shenghe held her hand tightly all the way, and opened the rear door for her.
No one who passed by knew them.
Tense and exciting.
After she sat up, Jiang Shenghe closed the door.
Luo Qi slid down the car window and waved to him, "Boss Jiang, goodbye."
Jiang Shenghe smiled, "Which boss have you ever seen lead a subordinate into a car?"
Luo Qi smiled, "Our President Jiang."
Jiang Shenghe watched her car drive away and got into his own car.
Luo Qi received a message from Chi Xin: [Boss Luo, when are you coming back? 】
[On the way back. 】
Chi Xin asked again: [Mr. Luo, have you eaten yet? 】
【have eaten. 】
Chi Xin talked too much today, Luo Qi asked her what was the matter.
[Pei Shixiao is in our company and has been here for almost an hour. 】
Chi Xin was worried that Luo Qi wouldn't even be able to eat lunch well, so she didn't tell her.
[Mr. Luo, prepare yourself mentally. 】
Rocky: [It's okay. 】
She just broadcast the video yesterday, and she came to the door today, no need to think, it was Cui Peng who called him, crying in front of him how wronged she had been.
From yesterday morning to today's noon, Ruipu's work group was flooded with gossip about the new boss.
Pei Shixiao was sitting in the reception room right now, looking out the window in a daze.
Just like the night she disclosed the reason for breaking up in the circle of friends, he didn't know why he came.
Unwilling.
But he finally had an excuse to see her.
He hasn't had a good night's sleep since he saw her marriage certificate at the financial summit. I have dreamed about her, and I know that I am in the dream. I hope the dream will last longer, and she will stay by his side for a few more minutes.
One year and three months after the breakup, the dull pain still persists.
Sometimes he worked overtime until early in the morning, and he couldn't fall asleep after being sleepy. He couldn't help but miss her, wondering if they hadn't broken up, would they even have children now.
This year, the eleventh year of their acquaintance, when he returned to Sioux City some time ago, he went to the alley opposite the school, and nothing changed.
The garage is still the same as before.
The oden restaurant she likes to eat is still there.
"Mr. Pei, you are so leisurely and carefree. You flew here from Shanghai just to drink a cup of Ruipu's free tea."
The mocking voice pulled him back from his thoughts.
Pei Shixiao turned his head suddenly, Luo Qi had already entered, she was still the same as before, even her clothes didn't change, but there was no warmth in her eyes anymore, she looked at him coldly, as if she was looking at a stranger.
He stood up, "Luo Qi, in those ten years, I loved you for no reason. Why did you do it so badly? You released it yourself in front of so many people."
Even if she let Luo Yu spread the word.
"I know it's not fake, so I thanked you and gave you dignity. Say what you want to say quickly, don't affect my work. You don't have to repeat what Cui Peng said to you, I'm not interested. If you are If you want to vent your anger on Cui Peng's behalf, let's talk about it after I get off work, then I will call my husband, and everyone will find their own man to back them up, and I won't be so stupid as to confront the two of you head-on."
"Rocky!"
When she called someone else's husband in front of him, Pei Shixiao felt as if his heart had been stabbed.
What on earth is he here for today?
I don't know either.
"It was my fault at the beginning. No matter what Cui Peng did, I didn't resist it. Don't implicate her anymore. She just wants to do her job well. You are angry at me, okay?"
Luo Qi wanted to laugh but couldn't, "If you were my partner, like Yu Bo, I would waste some time talking to you for work."
But he's nothing, so there's no need to waste your tongue.
That's all she said: "If you want to vent your anger on her, let's make an appointment somewhere. If you are not venting your anger on her, please leave Ruipu now."
"Knock, knock!" There were two impatient knocks on the door.
The door was not closed, Lu Rui stood at the door and glanced at Pei Shixiao, then looked at Luo Qi expressionlessly, "It's endless all day long, when can you not bring your private affairs to the company?"
"Is that Mr. Pei?" He introduced himself, "I'm Lu Rui. If it's a private matter, please settle it after work. At least don't make a fuss in Rui Pu's office, which will affect our employees' normal work. If it's a business matter, then talk to me , Ruipu’s current control is still with me, it’s useless for you to find Luo Qi.”
Pei Shixiao's jaw was tense and he didn't answer.
"Yesterday's meeting was our internal meeting. Mr. Pei found out so quickly, he must have heard from Cui Peng, right? I have known Cui Peng for so long, and the only pertinent and credible thing she said was that she said that she is not as capable as Luo Qi .”
Pei Shixiao: "..."
Lu Rui continued: "Other things, I'm not good at commenting. Like Mr. Pei, I'm a victim of routine wholesale, but I'm luckier."
He clicked on the phone dialog box, "On my birthday, she got stuck on the documents sent to me at zero o'clock. She drank too much and called to be taken to the hospital. She never knocked on the door when she entered the office. There are too many things like that."
'3, 2...' Before the countdown reached 1, Pei Shixiao squeezed past him and strode away with pride. After walking a few steps, he stopped again and looked back at Luo Qi.
I regret it.
He regretted why he forgot her twenty-eighth birthday at that time, why he didn't accompany her to try on the wedding dress, and why he delayed getting the certificate.
Where was he when she went to Shanghai to see him?
When they walked away, Lu Rui looked at Luo Qi again, "Please settle your private affairs in the future!"
Turn around and leave after speaking.
Luo Qi has clear grievances and grievances, "Thank you today. Ruipu's decision to give up the high-end market, please give me an answer as soon as possible."
Lu Rui didn't look back.
When I got home at night, Jiang Shenghe had already returned. It was rare that he got off work earlier than her.
The little milk dog jumped on her and circled around her.
Jiang Shenghe gave her a shopping card from the mall, and lied: "It was a gift from a friend. I did him a favor before, and I also gave Qin Moling one."
"How much face value?"
It was enough for her to buy a lot of dresses, and he and Qin Moling bought the shopping cards with their own money. Like her, Jian Hang didn't spend Qin Moling's money, so he had to think of a way to give them the cards.
"I don't know how much money is in it. You can go to the mall to check when you have time."
Luo Qi received it in the wallet, and waited for the New Year's Day holiday to invite Jianhang to go shopping.
Jiang Shenghe said: "There may be a time limit, and I will spend it all at once."
Luo Qi responded, and briefly told him about Pei Shixiao's visit to Ruipu at noon, "This is the only bad thing about the office building. Anyone who wants to come up will come up, and he can't stop him at the front desk of the company."
If Jiang Shenghe thinks about it: "You can discuss with Lu Rui, should Ruipu move to Yuanwei Building to work? I will give you two floors, and you will not be charged rent. Your original office can be rented out, and the rent can also subsidize the company's daily work. Expenses. All of you come over, and the cafeteria staff and cleaning staff also take over." All her worries were resolved.
Luo Qi was a little moved, and what was moved was that there was an extra part of the rental income, and Ruipu was a little short of money now. Moving to Yuanwei Building can also improve the office environment and staff meals.
Yuanwei Building is located in a place where every inch of land is very expensive, and everything around is convenient. When He Xu picked her up to have dinner with He Wancheng, he even said why she hadn't moved to Yuanwei Building.
Employees definitely want to come, but high-level executives don't necessarily want to come. Everyone wants to be high and the emperor is far away.
"Lu Rui doesn't necessarily agree. I'll mention it to him after he agrees to give up the high-end market."
Jiang Sheng said: "Don't worry."
When she moves to Yuanwei Building, she can see him when she goes to work.
