Chapter 39
On the corner of the street, an American retro coffee shop.
“Mr. Qiao, I talked about such a big project for you today, so you invite me to have coffee? You have to have a big meal anyway.”
Qiao Zhiyu is not hurried, “This is just the beginning, don’t worry, you will have a big meal in the future.”
“I will still rely on you to cover in ZY from now on.”
Qiao Zhiyu followed his joke: “This is easy to say.”
The man who talked to Qiao Zhiyu was Xiao Che, who was the vice president of risk control that Qiao Zhiyu had previously introduced. In the IPO project that Qiao Zhiyu talked about this afternoon, Xiao Che was the middleman and helped a lot.
The three girls sitting around the table next to each other whispered to discuss something while eating desserts. They still peeked at the window seat from time to time. There was also a girl who took out her mobile phone directly, made a selfie, and quietly pointed the rear camera at the man’s profile by the window.
Press the capture key after focusing.
I forgot to turn off the camera sound effects. The high-profile “click” sound is particularly noticeable in a quiet environment.
Xiao Che turned his head and looked, the girl flushed instantly.
Qiao Zhiyu took a sip of the American style and saw someone taking a sneak shot. She smiled happily, “Mr. Xiao is still so popular with little girls.”
“Hey, don’t make fun of me.” Xiao Che tilted his head, expressing helplessness.
Xiao Che’s face is quite high, with sharp edges and corners, deep eyebrows, and no matter his education, he also has the temperament of a handsome young man. The gestures are very attractive to women. It’s a pity that Xiao Che doesn’t catch a cold to women, his gender is male, and he likes males. He hasn’t changed for many years.
“Where is your boyfriend? Don’t you spend time with him today?”
“Stop talking. It’s early.” Xiao Cheyun said lightly and freely, and by the way recounted the old times with Qiao Zhiyu: “How about you, why didn’t you stay with Lao Xu?”
Xiao Che and Xu Sheng knew each other. In the financial circle, it is said that small is not small, but it is not big. The network of connections is intricate. It is not a friend. Two more friends also know each other. Qiao Zhiyu and Xiao Che were familiar with each other when they were working on projects, and Xiao Che’s ability in risk control has nothing to say.
Qiao Zhiyu said, “I don’t feel it.”
“Understanding.” Xiao Che nodded, “This kind of thing is really reluctant to come.”
“Yes, barely come.”
“Would you like me to introduce you to a handsome guy?” Xiao Che half-joked and half-seriously, “I think he is really suitable for you, whether it is character or…”
Qiao Zhiyu: “No need.”
Xiao Che silently glanced at Qiao Zhi more than twice before saying, “Is there something wrong with you?”
Qiao Zhiyu knew why Xiao Che said that. Before letting go, a friend said that she would first consider getting to know her by introducing a suitable person to her. But today, she directly rejected Xiao Che.
Upon hearing this question from Xiao Che, she thought of Ji Xi.
It’s barely a situation.
Some project-related matters were also discussed.
After checking the time, Qiao Zhiyu said: “I have to go back to the company, so I won’t accompany you.”
“Are you free tonight?” Xiao Che was looking for someone to watch the drama with him.
Qiao Zhiyu apologized and smiled: “I have an appointment tonight.”
Xiao Che: “I know you have a situation.”
Qiao Zhi said, “Take a good rest for two days. You will be busy coming to the company next week.”
“I am in a panic now, wishing to get busy.”
After separating from Xiao Che, Qiao Zhiyu drove in the direction of the company.
It didn’t drive far.
She saw a flower shop just next to the street, with a blue and white Mediterranean style. Because today’s day is special, so it makes a special atmosphere.
Qiao Zhiyu pulled over and parked the car. Outside of her plan, she walked into a flower shop.
Most of the flowers ordered today are red roses, and the roses are out of stock. The clerk recommended roses to Qiao Zhiyu for the first time, but Qiao Zhiyu said, “I’ll pick it myself.”
“You are so caring, your boyfriend is really happy.” The clerk boasted, not all rainbow farts, can it be unhappy to have such a beautiful girlfriend.
“It’s not a boyfriend.” Qiao Zhiyu browsed through the various flower bouquets, and explained softly, “It’s for a girl.”
Seeing that Qiao Zhiyu took his own seriously, the clerk stopped talking too much.
Qiao Zhiyu took a moment to think. I picked the white lilies and the light blue gypsophila. Just like Ji Xi gave her, her temperament was cold and clean. Only after slowly touching her will she find the warmth and loveliness.
A bouquet of flowers that suits her very well.
The setting sun slanted westward.
As we approached the end of get off work, many people in the office were already ready to move.
Ji Xi received a text message from Qiao Zhiyu: “I am waiting for you in the garage.”
In the evening of the amusement park, entering the kindergarten starts at 8:30. Ji Xi has no expedited work on hand, and it is rare to leave a shift early. Taking the elevator straight to the negative third floor, she easily found Qiao Zhiyu’s car, and she remembered the end number of the license plate after a few times.
When Ji Xi opened the door of the co-pilot, he noticed the bunch of flowers at first glance, not too big or small, fresh and romantic, and very beautiful.
“It’s still early. I made an appointment with Yao Ran and the others to meet at the playground at eight o’clock. Let’s eat before we go.”
When the time was not unified, the four of them didn’t make an appointment to have dinner together, and they would meet directly in the playground.
“Yeah.” Ji Xi was very casual, and looked at the bunch of flowers in the car. It should have been given to her by someone else on Valentine’s Day today.
“Why don’t you bring Xiao Qiao out to play together?” Ji Xi remembered.
“Little Qiao always makes new friends.”
“Really?” Ji Xi was surprised.
“Aunt Li’s little granddaughter is also on summer vacation, and the two little ones are playing together every day, and Xiao Qiao will always teach others to paint.” Speaking of this, Qiao Zhiyu smiled relaxedly.
“So amazing?” Ji Xi also smiled happily. The autistic children are willing to take the initiative to make friends, which is a good start.
“Well, Xiao Qiao is always able to bear it.” Seeing Ji Xi’s smiling face, Qiao Zhiyu couldn’t help but stare straight, his lips couldn’t help but smile. After meeting her, many things seemed to be getting better.
Being stared like this, Ji Xi thought there was something on her face. She asked: “What?”
Qiao Zhisheng said, “Look at you cute.”
It’s time to tease herself again. While Ji Xi was speechless, she couldn’t stop her bright smile.
“Is there no one to send you flowers today?” Qiao Zhiyu saw Ji Xi empty-handed.
“No.” Ji Xi didn’t care about this.
At this time, Qiao Zhiyu picked up the bunch of flowers at hand and handed it to Ji Xi.
Ji Xigan looked at Qiao Zhiyu.
Qiao Zhiyu’s eyebrows were gentle: “Now someone has sent it.”
“Is this for me?” Ji Xi held the flower, and she hadn’t turned the corner for a while, after all, she thought it was something someone gave to Qiao.
“It’s a holiday, it’s a scene.” Qiao Zhiyu felt that this bouquet of flowers was given out suddenly, but when she passed the flower shop, she went to buy it. Still deliberately picked.
Ji Xi’s first reaction was to feel sorry. She told Qiao Zhiyu, “I didn’t prepare for you.”
“It’s okay.” Qiao Zhiyu looked at her and blurted out: “Remember to give it to me next Valentine’s Day.”
As soon as he said this, Ji Xi was a little distracted, and then immediately reacted, just joking. She should be quick: “Okay.”
Qiao Zhiyu said, “I remembered it.”
Ji Xi: “Yeah.”
The words are a bit joke, a bit serious, and not true. Qiao Zhiyu asked Ji Xi what he would like to eat tonight, and Ji Xi said that she would decide what she wanted.
As soon as the car started moving, there was no sound in the carriage, and she didn’t feel uncomfortable when she didn’t speak, because Ji Xi knew that Qiao Zhi had a habit of driving quietly.
Ji Xi smelled the faint fragrance of flowers and was still thinking about Qiao Zhiyu’s just now, “Someone has sent it now”, and it feels so heartwarming. This is not the first time she has received flowers, but this is the happiest time she has received.
Yu Guang peeped at the people next to her, Ji Xi lowered her eyes, thinking a little far away, thinking that her future boyfriend must be very happy, she is gentle and funny, and so coaxing…
Thought of coaxing people.
Ji Xi suddenly remembered something. She took out her mobile phone and typed “Jokes Collection” in the search bar of the browser.
