Enchanted (GL) - Chapter 70
Ji Xi guessed that Qiaozhi was busy for more than one afternoon, and he didn’t have time to read WeChat. Because when she was about to get off work, she received a message from Qiao Zhiyu:
“Cute, but not as cute as you”
Reply to the two photos of orange cats at noon.
Immediately afterwards, Ji Xi saw Qiao Zhiyu’s message again: “I’m going to have a meeting tonight, I can’t eat together”
After Ji Xi saw the news, she felt a little disappointed. She was going back to Rongcheng the day after tomorrow. They had planned to have dinner together tonight.
Although she was disappointed, she understood that Qiao Zhi was busy over this time and the withdrawal of capital was a headache. In addition, Wang Heng also named him to talk to Qiao Zhiyu, and the pressure was on Qiao Zhiyu.
The high-level meeting tonight is probably also discussing this matter.
Ji Xi replied: “You are busy, it doesn’t matter”
Just distressed, she has been too tired recently.
After a few seconds, Qiao Zhiyu sent another sentence: “I want to date my girlfriend.”
There was an emoji package behind.
A cat looking aggrieved.
Ji Xi smiled suddenly. Who would have thought that Mr. Qiao, who is usually a queen fan, would love to make cute emojis so much.
Seeing that Qiao Zhiyu said that she wanted to date, Ji Xi also thought in her heart that even though she would not take the initiative to act like a baby to stick to Qiao Zhiyu, she actually liked the taste of being together with Qiao Zhiyu, and the more intimate, the more she liked it.
She felt like she had changed herself. Before the release, she was very resistant to having close contact with others. Even if Jiang Nian held her arm, she would distance herself.
Even if she was thinking the same in her heart, Ji Xi still sternly replied: “Wait for time.”
Qiao Zhiyu sat in a swivel chair, looked down at the screen of his mobile phone and smiled, and continued typing: “I will call you again when I’m finished.”
Ji Xi replied “um”. She squeezed the phone, and the look in Wang Heng’s eyes when she watched Qiao Zhi’s time-out came into her mind again in the afternoon. It was obviously impure to say anything to talk to Qiao Zhiyu alone.
From get off work to home, Ji Xi thought about it all night.
The night is getting darker.
Ji Xi is still up and waiting for a call.
It was almost ten o’clock before the ringtone rang.
“I have finished the meeting.” Qiao Zhiyu returned home and sat exhaustedly on the sofa. The first thing was to dial Ji Xi’s number.
Ji Xi was leaning against the bed, absent-mindedly reading, “Are you home?”
Qiao Zhiyu: “Just arrived.”
Ji Xi heard that Qiao Zhiyu’s low-pitched voice was exhausted, and she asked, “Is it very tired today?”
Just a soft question, it was easy to poke, Qiao Zhiyu rubbed her cervical spine, she closed her eyes and whispered, “It’s kind of.”
Hearing Qiao Zhiyu’s tiredness, Ji Xi had a very strong idea, wanting to be by her side and hug her. Perhaps it was because of Qiao Zhiyu’s act of acting that night, she said she was tired and wanted to hold her by herself.
Both sides were silent for a second.
“Ji is cute~” Qiao Zhiyu yelled crookedly, and as she said, she laughed, why fell in love with bored gourd and acted like a baby.
“Huh?” Ji Xi responded.
Qiao Zhiyu: “You are going back the day after tomorrow?”
“Well, leave the day after tomorrow.”
Qiao Zhiyu thought for a while and said, “Shall we meet tomorrow night, okay?”
“Do you have time?” Ji Xi stared at the densely packed words in the book, but she was completely absent from the words. She remembered Qiao Zhi’s “dating with a girlfriend” several times that she had mentioned. After a while, she took the initiative to say: ” Are we… dating?”
Qiao Zhiyu laughed when he heard Ji Xi suffocate the word “dating”, and wanted to laugh somehow.
When Ji Xi heard Qiao Zhiyu smile so happily, he couldn’t help but smile.
“Do you really want to date your girlfriend?” After Qiao Zhiyu laughed, he said in a very soft voice: “Mensao——”
Ji Xi was speechless.
Hearing Ji Xi’s silence, Qiao Zhiyu asked with a smile, “Do you want to?”
Under Qiao Zhiyu’s repeated questioning, Ji Xi gently scratched the bedding with her fingers, smiled silently, and answered truthfully: “…think.”
Acknowledged, it turned out to be such a boring gourd, Qiao Zhiyu is not happy now, and even the pressure of work has been forgotten, she lazily and naively spit out: “Mengsao, don’t worry.”
Ji Xi: “…”
Two people who like each other will feel boring when they talk about boring questions.
“Then after get off work tomorrow, shall we have dinner together?” Ji Xi asked.
“I have a dinner tomorrow night, and when it’s over, I’ll look for you.” Qiao Zhiyu said.
During the dinner, Ji Xi was very sensitive, and immediately thought of what happened in the afternoon, “Dinner with President Wang?”
“how do you know?”
When Qiao Zhiyu asked, Ji Xi said, “I heard it in the company.”
Qiao Zhiyu explained: “He wants to talk to me about the contract renewal, and I want to fight for it as much as possible.”
“Why does he only talk to you? Does he only ask you to meet?” Ji Xi couldn’t hide the worry in her tone: “I heard something about him in the company, and he harassed female employees more than once. Don’t talk to him. See you alone.”
The investment circle is so big. Who is Wang Heng? Qiao Zhiyu naturally heard about him, saying that he only talked to himself, and even the weasel gave the rooster a New Year greeting.
“Afraid of me being bullied?” Qiao Zhiyu smiled lightly instead. She told Ji Xi softly, “I have a sense of measure, and he doesn’t dare to bully me, don’t worry.”
Qiao Zhiyu’s words are true. Although she is not seen by Qiao’s family, she still wears the name of Miss Qiao’s family outside. Most people really dare not do anything to her.
Having said that, Ji Xi will inevitably still be uneasy, knowing that the other party is not a good stubborn, and has to go to talk with the other party with bad intentions. How to relax.
“Where did he ask you to eat? I’ll pick you up then.”
“I just go find you, not to pick me up.”
“I’ll pick you up.” Ji Xi throws out four words that are completely indisputable, and there is no room for negotiation.
Qiao Zhiyu didn’t hold back Ji Xi, and told her the address. It was a high-end western restaurant. Ji Xi knew where it was. He had been there once when he met customers with the leader and was impressed.
At seven o’clock, Qiao Zhiyu arrived at the restaurant as scheduled. Except for the waiter, there was no one in the restaurant. Looking at this posture, Wang Heng had booked the venue.
As soon as Qiao Zhiyu walked in, a large bouquet of gaudy red roses was presented. She was lukewarm, and smiled lightly: “Thank you, Mr. Wang, the flowers are very beautiful.”
“How come Joe is pretty, you like it.” Wang Heng smiled enthusiastically.
A diamond necklace placed on the dining table is eye-catching, under the chandelier, reflecting a high-profile dazzling light. A very valuable necklace.
Wang Heng: “The little meeting ceremony, I think it will definitely match you.”
Qiao Zhiyu glanced, closed the gift box, and pushed it towards the other party, “Mr. Wang, this meeting gift is too expensive, I can’t accept it.”
“Is it too expensive or not to look down on? Just as I owe you a gift, let’s make an appointment, and I will accompany you to pick it myself.” Wang Heng changed the law and showed his courtesy.
Qiao Zhiyu didn’t want to be circumspect. To be honest, she also disgusted the man in front of her. There were more than one or two harassment incidents. If it weren’t for work connections, she didn’t want to say a word to him.
“Mr. Wang, tonight I will mainly talk about work.” Qiao Zhiyu smiled.
“Make friends first, and talk about everything later.”
“As long as we cooperate, everyone is a friend. Mr. Wang has been working with ZY for so many years and he has long been an old friend. Mr. Wang should know our strength better than anyone else. Why would he want to divest?”
“Don’t talk about work as soon as you come up. Qiao always looks at him. It’s not like someone who doesn’t understand sex. Eat something first.” Wang Heng talked to him from left to right, while talking, looking up and down Qiao Zhiyu’s face and figure.
Worthy of being a well-known veteran in the circle, Qiao Zhiyu took out the prepared documents and got straight to the point, “This is the latest agreement. According to your opinion, we have made some changes, mainly in the way of dividends. aspect.”
Wang Heng waved his hand: “Is it disappointed? Let’s talk about work before eating this meal? Come on, cheers.”
“Sorry, I drove here today, and I have a bad stomach recently and can’t drink alcohol.”
“Mr. Qiao, I think you don’t give me face.” Wang Heng smiled and sighed while holding the wine glass, “I admire you very much, not only for your good looks, but also your abilities. I can let you Your abilities are used to the extreme.”
In the workplace for so many years, she hasn’t seen anyone, whether she really has the intention of cooperation, Qiaozhi can get a general idea after a few chats.
It’s boring to go on doing Tai Chi like this. Qiao Zhi smiled, “Mr. Wang, I like to go straight. I can understand it as, do you want to chase me?”
The conversation is straightforward enough.
Seeing Qiao Zhi’s charming smile, Wang Heng instantly became energetic, “I like to go straight, yes, I really want to chase you, can Qiao always give me a chance? The opportunities are mutual.”
What is the subtext, obvious.
Qiao Zhiyu smiled lightly and slowly said, “I’m sorry. There are already people in my family, so I can’t give President Wang this opportunity.”
Wang Heng was quiet for a while, with a big tone: “A woman like you, I think you are more suitable for you.”
Qiao Zhiyu was incomprehensible, and he just got up with a smile, “Mr. Wang, I will leave if I have anything else. Please read the agreement carefully.”
“I won’t say much about anything else, I’ll just say, it must be your loss if you don’t sign, not us. Goodbye.” Qiao Zhiyu added, speaking calmly.
It ended faster than expected. Coming over tonight, Qiao Zhiyu mainly talked about the agreement with Wang Heng, and did not intend to deal with him.
To deal with people like Wang Heng, blindly lowering his posture will only make him feel better. If he is determined and has no intention of renewing the contract, it will be useless; if there is, it will be a psychological battle. Qiao Zhiyu chose to take a gamble and retreat for progress.
Leave the restaurant.
Walking aimlessly down the street, Qiao Zhiyu didn’t call Ji Xi immediately, but lit a cigarette and started smoking. Regarding her emotions first, she doesn’t want to bring her work emotions to her private life.
The pressure is still quite high, the more the outside world spreads her, the greater the pressure on her. Just like this time, everyone in the company felt that it was easy for her to get Wang Heng out, and they all felt that she would definitely be able to do it.
Qiao Zhi pressed his lips and took another deep breath. The slowly exhaled smoke smashed into the night, leaving a faint tobacco aroma.
The phone rang.
Qiao Zhiyu held half of a cigarette in one hand and his mobile phone in the other.
Boring gourd: “Are you finished?”
Qiao Zhiyu lowered his head and smiled, and said a voice: “It’s over. Come and pick me up.”
Want to see her.
I really want to.
After speaking, Qiao Zhiyu continued to smoke the remaining half of his cigarette before holding the cigarette holder. She heard a voice that was so familiar to her that she could no longer be familiar.
“It’s over.”
Qiao Zhiyu looked sideways, a thin and tall figure, not someone else, but Ji Xi standing not far away, slowly walking towards her, getting closer and closer.
Calling Mr. Qiao is too awkward, Ji Xi just hesitated and blurted out her name. It’s too weird, just calling her name will make her heart beat faster–
