MTL - Seventh Year of My Secret Love for You-Chapter 1

[Wife, I have an impromptu meeting in the morning, and I can only return to Sioux City in the afternoon, around 3:30. 】

【Qi, are you asleep? 】

[The meeting will start immediately, and I can't get back to you in time. 】

Luo Qi's cell phone in her bag vibrated, and Pei Shixiao sent three messages in succession, but she fell asleep leaning on the seat and didn't hear them.

I participated in a business dinner last night, and it ended in the early morning. I woke up before dawn to catch the first high-speed train to Sioux City. When I got to the car, I fell asleep listening to light music.

It was an hour and a half after Luo Qi woke up, and after reading the first message, she almost didn't get used to the term 'wife'. In the past few years of dating Pei Shixiao, he was used to calling her by her name, and the number of times he called her wife was very few.

She looked up at the scrolling reminder screen, and replied: [There are three more stops to Sucheng. Just fell asleep. 】

Pei Shixiao might still be in a meeting, and he didn't reply to her after ten minutes.

Luo Qi locked the phone, turned to look out the window.

She and Pei Shixiao are from Sioux City, and they made an appointment to return to Sioux City this weekend to confirm the wedding banquet hotel, and the wedding is scheduled for mid-December.

Booking a hotel was just a matter of incident, so we could meet up just in time. She and Pei Shixiao started moving away at the beginning of this year. She was in Beijing, and Pei Shixiao was in Shanghai. They were both busy during the period, and they hadn't seen each other for almost two months.

Near noon, Luo Qi arrived at the station.

Mother's phone card called in and asked her if she had arrived at the station.

"Mom, I just got off the bus and haven't left the station yet."

"Shi Xiao is going to pick you up at the station?"

"He had an impromptu meeting and arrived in Sioux City in the afternoon."

"Why didn't you say it earlier, mom asked your uncle to pick you up at the station."

"No, it's very convenient to take a taxi."

Unfortunately, when I came back this time, my parents went on a business trip and were not in Sioux City. Luo Qi called a car, but didn't go back to her home, and entered the address of the wedding room as the destination.

She brought two large suitcases, and the driver got out of the car to help carry them to the trunk.

The wedding room is on the large flat floor with lake view, one of the high-end real estate in Sioux City.

Whether it's her or Pei Shixiao, there are not many opportunities to live in Sucheng, not necessarily for ten days and a half a year, but Pei Shixiao said that all three cities must have their wedding rooms, and they must be the best.

Luo Qi knew all of Pei Shixiao's passwords and had memorized them by heart.

When they arrived at the Hujing wedding room, Luo Qi directly entered the password to enter the room. It was the first time she came here after the house was furnished. Pei Shixiao had filmed a video for her before, and all the furniture was added according to her preferences.

Luo Qi found new slippers from the shoe cabinet and put them on, and took out her mobile phone to report Pei Shixiao's safety.

Half an hour later, Pei Shixiao's call came in.

Luo Qi was sorting out the boxes. This time, she brought some daily necessities and clothes to her new house, so that she could use them when she returned to Sioux City.

Put down the clothes in your hand, take your mobile phone to the viewing terrace to answer the call.

"The meeting just ended. Have you had lunch yet?"

Pei Shixiao's deep voice came.

"No, I'll order takeaway after packing up." Luo Qi lay on the railing, looking at the rippling lake, and suddenly changed her mind: "We'll go out to eat when you arrive. I'm not hungry now."

There was a moment of silence on the phone.

Pei Shixiao couldn't go out to eat with her, so he apologized: "Qi, I can't go back this week, there is a problem with a project. I'll order you takeaway later."

Luo Qi asked concerned: "Is the problem serious?"

"Well, it's a little tricky."

If he can't come back, it's impossible for Luo Qi not to be disappointed, but it's important to remedy the project. Pei Shixiao is now the executive partner of Huanheng Capital. Even he feels that the problem is serious, and the project must have gone wrong.

Luo Qi understood him: "You are busy, I will book a hotel by myself."

Pei Shixiao hesitated to speak, he agreed to go back to Sioux City to book a hotel, and then accompany her to try on the wedding dress, but he missed the appointment. In the past few years, he has never let her down.

"Sorry, Chi."

"fine."

After a pause for a few seconds, Pei Shixiao decided: "I'm going to stay up all night these few days, why don't you come to Shanghai? Come to the office and work overtime with me."

Luo Qi didn't think about it: "I'm not going, I'll go back to Beijing after booking the hotel. You can visit me after the project is finished."

She wouldn't go to his company to influence him when he was in a state of desperation. If something went wrong with the project she was in charge of, she wouldn't be in the mood for a date.

Push yourself and others.

Pei Shixiao chatted with her for another ten minutes, then hung up the phone to order takeaway for her.

In the past, it was the secretary's job to order food delivery, but today he placed the order himself.

After ordering some of Luo Qi's favorite dishes, Pei Shixiao leaned back in his chair and concentrated for a moment, then called the secretary and ordered the secretary to order a set of diamond jewelry for Luo Qi.

An hour later, Luo Qi got the takeaway that Pei Shixiao ordered for her, plus a fruit platter.

She took pictures while eating and sent them to Pei Shixiao: [The food in this restaurant tastes good. 】

Pei Shixiao replied: [It's just opened, next time I go back to Sucheng to accompany you to eat. 】

He asked again: [When are you going to see the wedding banquet hall? 】

Rocky: 【This afternoon. 】

Pei Shixiao pushed the business cards of the persons in charge of several five-star hotels to Luo Qi, 【You can book whichever style you like. 】

Luo Qi added these responsible persons one by one, and made an appointment to meet in the afternoon.

The big boss behind these hotels is the same person, surnamed Zhao, who has been friends with Pei Shixiao's father for many years. Director Zhao also said that if the style of the banquet hall is not to her liking, he can rearrange it specially for her.

If she was a little princess seven years ago, with her personality of pursuing perfection in everything, it was really possible to rearrange the wedding banquet hall according to her own aesthetics. Back then, she had money and confidence.

But now, no more.

At three o'clock, Luo Qi arrived at the first hotel as scheduled, and the secretary of the general manager received her.

Secretary Yang guessed that Luo Qi must be a beautiful woman before they met, and she had seen many beauties, she was still surprised at the first sight of Luo Qi. A sense of distance.

Approaching, Secretary Yang introduced himself and led Luo Qi to the elevator.

Luo Qi smiled: "It's troublesome."

Secretary Yang smiled back: "You're welcome."

She couldn't help but glance at Luo Qi again. She was good-looking, and her voice was magnetic and soft. She couldn't help but want to talk to Luo Qi a little more.

If this is acting like a baby, who can bear it.

She had heard a little about Luo Qi and Pei Shixiao, a young couple. She heard that the Pei family did not agree to the marriage at first, and wanted Pei Shixiao to find a girl of the right family, but Pei Shixiao had always insisted on marrying Luo Qi. Finally compromise.

The wealth of the Pei family ranks among the top three in Sucheng, and Pei Shixiao's personal ability is also outstanding, and he is the object of admiration by many celebrities.

Luo Qi's family used to be in good condition. His parents were in business and owned two companies. However, the investment failed seven years ago and the company declared bankruptcy. Luo's father owed tens of millions of foreign debts. It is not clear that they have not yet paid off.

The elevator reached the sixth floor, and Luo Qi and Secretary Yang walked out one after the other.

This hotel was newly built last year, and Rocky had never been here. The banquet hall is designed without pillars, featuring marine colors, dreamlike and can accommodate sixty-six tables of guests at the same time.

After Luo Qi visited, she decided on the spot that the wedding banquet would be held here.

After coming out of the hotel, she sent a message to tell Pei Shixiao which hotel the wedding banquet was scheduled for.

Pei Shixiao came back quickly: [I've already told my parents to book this place, you don't have to worry about other things. Are you going to try on the wedding dress? Or should I accompany you to try next month? 】

Luo Qi didn't hesitate at all: 【Next month. 】

Pei Shixiao promised: 【No matter how busy you are, I will accompany you to try on the wedding dress. 】

He apologized again for today's missed appointment: [I'll stay with you for a few more days after I'm done with this project. 】

Luo Qi: [You don't have to worry about it, work is important. 】

He said it was nothing, but he couldn't help but regret in his heart, regretting that he had been looking forward to it for so long but didn't see him face to face.

Luo Qi didn't go back to the wedding room, but took the subway back to her home.

Unlike Pei Shixiao's high-end community, her family lives in an alley in the old town.

The house in the alley is an old house left by my grandparents, which has been vacant for several years. Seven years ago, the family villa was seized, and the parents moved here, where they have been living until now.

Walking across the stone bridge, Luo Qi walked into the cramped alley. The old house was not a single family, and there were three families living in the courtyard.

Neighbor Grandma Qian was sitting on the patio to enjoy the shade. When she saw her come back, she went back to the house and brought her two slices of watermelon.

"Your mother said you're coming back this week, but it's a pity that you're busy and can't see you."

Grandma Qian watched Luo Qi grow up, Luo Qi was not polite, took the watermelon, sat down on the low stool next to Grandma Qian, and chatted with Grandma Qian while eating the watermelon.

"Your mother said you came back to the engagement banquet hotel, have you booked it?"

"En." Luo Qi nodded, and told Grandma Qian which hotel it was.

When I get old, I can't help nagging, Grandma Qian said earnestly: "Your grandma is gone, I have to say something for her. When you get married, it's better to come back to work. Young couples can't live in two places forever, it's easy. Something went wrong."

Luo Qi replied seriously: "I will go to Shanghai next year."

"I heard from your mother that your boss is a good person, and he treats you well." It's a pity to resign, but it's not easy for the young couple to meet each other. Grandma Qian sighed in confusion.

"It's not resignation, it's transferred to a branch." She is the assistant of the vice chairman Jiang Yueru, and she mentioned to Chairman Jiang before that she plans to end up in another place after marriage.

After five years of experience by Jiang Dong's side, she has been able to stand alone. Chairman Jiang promised her that he would transfer her to Shanghai to be in charge of Yuanwei Group Shanghai Branch.

Jiang Dong is the aunt of their big boss Jiang Shenghe. Jiang Shenghe was brought up by Jiang Dong alone. They are not mother and son, but their relationship is stronger than that of mother and son. Jiang Dong's promise to her is basically a certainty.

After eating two slices of watermelon, Luo Qi went back to the house to clean up.

The old house had two compact bedrooms. Her bedroom had been unoccupied for a long time, and the room was stuffy, so Luo Qi opened the window to ventilate.

The mobile phone on the table rang. Luo Qi thought it was Pei Shixiao calling, so she hurried over to pick up the mobile phone, and looked at the number. It was the person in charge of a partner of Yuanwei Group.

After answering the phone, the two of them were polite, and the other party asked her: "Luo Zhu, how is Chairman Jiang's operation? Is it stable? I want to visit Chairman Jiang in the hospital tomorrow, and I would like to trouble you to arrange it."

Rocky: "..."

I was confused by the question.

Jiang Dong is hospitalized?

As Jiang Yueru's assistant, she didn't know that her boss had undergone an operation, which was a huge dereliction of duty.

Even if she doesn't know what's going on with Jiang Yueru, she won't show a trace of surprise in front of outsiders. Luo Qi said calmly: "You don't need to trouble yourself, I've arranged to call you back."

After hanging up the phone, Luo Qi found Jiang Yueru's driver's number and dialed it. After asking, she found out that Jiang Yueru was hospitalized on Friday and had a cholecystectomy. She is now in a stable condition and all indicators are normal.

As for why he kept it from her, the driver explained: "It's not intentional not to tell you, what Chairman Jiang means is that it can't affect your going back to Sioux City to try on the wedding dress at the engagement banquet."

Luo Qi couldn't express the feeling in her heart, "I'll go back tomorrow morning."

Cut off the call and immediately rebook the return ticket.

At noon the next day, Luo Qi returned to Beijing.

Jiang Yueru lived on the top floor of the VIP ward, and there were bodyguards at the entrance. Luo Qi recognized them as the bodyguards of their big boss Jiang Shenghe.

Thinking that Jiang Shenghe was also in the ward at the moment, Luo Qi felt apprehensive.

In the entire Yuanwei Group, except for Jiang Yueru, no one can be nervous when they get along with Jiang Shenghe, especially when he stares at you without saying a word.

Everyone in Jiang Shenghe's work team is in danger. Everyone in the president's office never dares to be distracted during work, let alone fishing.

The advantage of high efficiency is that there is no need to work overtime. The people in the office of the president can have two or three weeks of weekends a month, and they can basically leave work at normal time.

She once even thought about whether to work in Jiang Shenghe's president's office.

The bodyguard knew Luo Qi and let her go directly.

Rocky held the flowers and nodded her thanks.

Not knowing if Jiang Yueru slept or not, she subconsciously walked lightly.

The door of the ward was ajar, and there was a weak complaint from inside, "It's good to be sick, and the ears are clean. Your parents, especially your father, don't dare to talk about me these days. You don't even know that the day before my operation Your dad also called me and asked me to urge you to settle down. It's annoying."

"Next time he reminds me, just say that I haven't played enough, and I will play for another two years." There is a cynical smile in the clear voice.

"You want to **** him off." After joking, Jiang Yueru said meaningfully: "You, what can you do if you get stuck like this again?"

Luo Qi was confused, it was about the boss's privacy, and she couldn't hear it. Turn around and go back for a while, then walk towards the door of the ward again with normal footsteps.

Just as the chat in the room came to an end, Jiang Shenghe heard a voice outside the door.

Rocky knocked lightly on the door.

Jiang Shenghe saw Luo Qi's silhouette through the crack of the door, "Go in."

Luo Qi pushed the door open, and the first thing that came into view was Jiang Shenghe who was sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed.

Jiang Yueru turned her head slowly, "It's a minor operation for me, so it's fine. Tell me, you finally went home and came back in a hurry. Do you have time to choose a wedding dress?"

Luo Qi smiled and lied: "The wedding dress has been selected, and the hotel has also been booked."

After answering Jiang Yueru, she was free to say hello to Jiang Shenghe, "Mr. Jiang." Her eyes flickered past his face, his aura was overwhelming, and she didn't dare to look at him.

Jiang Shenghe nodded, his eyes stayed between her eyebrows and eyes for two or three seconds, and he kept his eyes open.
