MTL - Seventh Year of My Secret Love for You-Chapter 30
There were too many messages, either sincere or false, so Luo Qi chose a few replies. All relatives in the family were blocked by her and have not been released so far, so there are no good words to persuade them.
Luo Yu saw how her cousin's circle of friends ended her ten years of youth in this way, how uncomfortable her cousin must have been.
[Sister, hug you. 】
【Baby Yu, I'm fine, take care of my little cucumber. 】
Luo Qi refreshed again, and Chu Lin left her a message: [Good split. You are so beautiful, why are you afraid that no one will chase you? Your boss is good, you can consider accepting him. 】
Rocky: "..."
Chu Lin had drunk so much that she typed out the following sentence in a daze.
Fortunately, Chu Lin and the boss's friends did not overlap with her, and the boss had no chance to see Chu Lin's message.
She and Chulin have never chatted since they became friends, and only liked each other's circle of friends.
Luo Qi replied to Chu Lin: [I was silenced by you (laughing and crying)]
Chu Lin didn't say much, and returned her a few expressions: [(show teeth)(show teeth)]
Later, Luo Qi received a private message from Chu Lin: 【My tour is over. Resting at home recently, where do you live? I'll pick you up and invite you to my tavern for a drink. 】
Luo Qi: 【I'm in Sioux City, I came here for a meeting, and I won't be back until tomorrow night. I'll play with you on the weekend. 】
She said again: [Is this the tavern you opened yourself? 】
【Um. Friends take care of it for me, and except for a few best friends, no one else knows that I am the real boss. Now there's one more you know. 】
【Where is the tavern? 】
Chu Lin replied with a specific address, and then sent her the name of the tavern: You come, I am still here
Luo Qi was amazed that there was such a coincidence.
The first time she saw the name of the tavern, she felt that the owner must have a story, because the name of the tavern told a sad story.
She sent the photos of the tavern in the album to Chu Lin: 【I've been there. I fell in love with the name of the store at first sight. 】
Chu Lin: 【You must come on Friday night, you can bring your friends, I will entertain you. 】
Luo Qi asked: [I won't bring friends, take my cousin there, she is your face fan. 】
Chu Lin thought for a while, the little girl should be called Luo Yu, 【Okay, see you soon. 】
Luo Qi typed the word 'good night', but before sending it out, a message from the boss popped up: [Go downstairs in ten minutes, we didn't eat dinner, you know the surroundings, find a restaurant for supper. 】
Luo Qi looked at the pajamas on her body, but it was impossible not to go, [Alright Mr. Jiang. 】
She took out her shirt and trousers and put them on. The rain outside hadn't stopped, pattering.
There was no time to put on makeup in ten minutes, and Luo Qi took care of her hair in only eight minutes before taking her bag and going downstairs.
After getting off the elevator, just a few steps away, a person hurriedly walked towards him.
Suddenly the man stopped in his footsteps, and both of them were stunned.
When Pei Shixiao received the text message, he was socializing nearby, left the table early, and rushed over in a hurry. As for why he still came, he didn't know if he could see her.
He stood still, "This may be the last time we meet, I want to apologize to you, Rocky, I'm sorry."
Feeling unwilling, he looked at her: "Ten years, Luo Qi, can you forget?" Anyway, he couldn't forget. In those ten years, from their youth to their thirties, there were too many memories between them.
"Let's start again, and I'll chase you again. If you are worried, we will sign a prenuptial agreement. As long as I cheat, all the property will belong to you."
"Rocky!"
Just like yesterday, he was forcefully interrupted by Jiang Shenghe.
Jiang Shenghe didn't find anyone in the car, so he went to the lobby to pick her up, and when he came in, he saw someone who shouldn't be there.
Jiang Shenghe walked over a few steps and stared at her: "What's going on?"
Rocky: "..."
The boss emphasized the word "again", and she felt the boss's death gaze. At noon, she also promised to deal with it as soon as possible. Only a few hours later, her ex-boyfriend came to the door and was bumped into by him again.
"President Jiang, give me two minutes."
"You see I'm very free and have a lot of time?"
"...President Jiang..."
"Have you become addicted to calling Mr. Jiang?"
"..."
Just as she was in shock, Jiang Shenghe grabbed her wrist and dragged her out.
He used too much force, due to inertia, she almost bumped into him, but fortunately she reacted in time and put her hand on his arm, so she didn't hit him.
Pei Shixiao raised his hand to grab Luo Qi, but the moment he raised his hand, he lost all his strength. After thinking about it all the way, she couldn't understand why she suddenly disclosed the reason for their breakup in Moments without leaving any room for it.
It turned out to be for Jiang Shenghe.
When he turned around, the two had already walked to the door of the hotel.
Jiang Shenghe didn't want to let go of this grip, he waited for seven years.
Afraid of hurting her, he relaxed a little, but still did not let go of her wrist.
Luo Qi's eyes were blank for a few seconds, she couldn't see anything clearly, and she couldn't even hear the sound.
The moment Jiang Shenghe grabbed her wrist, a hole was opened in the line of defense in her heart. In the midst of chaos, she tried her best to block the gap, preventing any thoughts that should not have come out.
After leaving the hotel, Jiang Sheng was reluctant to let go, and let her go, the future will be long. He held up the long-handled black umbrella in his hand, which was given to him by the lobby manager just now.
The lobby manager winked and only gave them an umbrella.
He let go, and the aura on his body was also far away, Luo Qi was uneasy: "I'm sorry, Mr. Jiang."
"Why are you sorry for me?"
"..."
Luo Qi found that the boss was very difficult to talk tonight, and every sentence was stinging, and he was merciless when he scolded her.
She explained why she apologized: "I kept you waiting."
"It's good to know."
Jiang Shenghe raised the umbrella with his right hand, wrapped his arms around her shoulders, almost hugged her in his arms, and covered her under the umbrella. She was completely inside the umbrella, and his left side was outside the umbrella.
Once again, she was wrapped in his strong and unique aura. In his arms, for a moment, she couldn't tell the north, south, south, east, and north of Sioux City, and she didn't know whether she was going south or east.
His usual cold voice came from above her head: "Pei Shixiao is watching from behind, you don't need to react so much, just go forward."
Jiang Shenghe looked at the person in his arms, "Isn't it useless to post on Moments? Why is it so hard to deal with an ex-boyfriend, and he is constantly indecisive and indecisive."
Rocky: "..."
Just complain about her hard, she can't hear anything clearly anyway.
In the rainy night in the south of the Yangtze River, who was bewitched?
Xiao Jiang went downstairs to buy cigarettes, and saw this scene when she left the hotel. She almost thought she was dazzled, but those two people were indeed the boss and Luo Qi. Thinking that Pei Shixiao was in the elevator, he understood what was going on, took a few steps back to the lobby, and hurriedly took out his phone to take a picture of it as a souvenir for the boss.
It is less than 20 meters from the hotel entrance to the parking place.
The driver deliberately stopped far away and did not drive to the hotel entrance to pick them up.
For Jiang Shenghe, these twenty meters are equivalent to two meters.
For Luo Qi, it felt like she had walked 20,000 meters.
When they got to the car, Jiang Shenghe opened the door for her, and walked around to the other side to get in the car.
Luo Qi sat in the car and found that the driver and the bodyguard were there, and Hun came back, remembering that the boss said in the news that 'we didn't have dinner', it turned out that the driver and the bodyguard also went to eat.
Jiang Shenghe put away his umbrella and sat up. When she was in his arms, his thoughts were also in chaos.
His face was so cold that no one else could tell.
"What's a good restaurant nearby?" he asked her.
Luo Qi's reaction was half a beat slower than usual, and she hesitated for a moment before telling the road. The location of the restaurant was hard to find, and she would give specific directions when she got to that road.
Jiang Shenghe helped her calm down: "What happened in September last year, right? How long has passed, and it's still messy to deal with."
Luo Qi listened silently and did not refute, and she did not expect Pei Shixiao to come again.
Seeing her silence, Jiang Shenghe continued: "In the future, there will be vacancies in the management team. With your performance today, how can you make a decisive decision then? Who dares to entrust you with such an important position?"
As soon as Luo Qi heard that it was related to her career, she argued hard: "Mr. Jiang, I have worked with you for so long, you should know me more or less. I admit that I have not handled this matter properly, but it is absolutely impossible for me at work. That's not going to happen."
Her attention should be focused on work, so Jiang Shenghe didn't talk about it anymore.
In the following time, the two had their own concerns and looked out of the window.
Luo Qi is building the embankment in her heart, the original line of defense is broken, and it seems that it is no longer as tight as before, so she can only build another embankment and add another line of defense.
She is very different from him, she can only and can only treat him as the boss.
Occasionally, the outline of the boss is reflected on the glass of the car.
Luo Qi slightly adjusted her posture and blocked the glass so that she could only see her own figure.
Jiang Shenghe glanced at her, she was sitting almost with her back to him, pretending to be admiring the night view outside the car.
He took a mobile phone and took a picture of her back. I don't know if he was thinking too much, but she has unintentionally treated him differently, just like now, when it's the secretary's office, other people dare not sit like this.
The restaurant that only locals in Sioux City know has finally arrived.
The driver parked the car and went down with the bodyguard. The boss told them to go eat together.
The two of them followed the boss with heavy steps, their moods were more complicated than last year when they were listening to the piano concert in Sioux City.
What should I say while eating?
Tell the boss the truth and don't speculate.
When we got to the hotel, the rain stopped.
Downstairs in the hotel, Pei Shixiao was still in a daze, filled with smoke. After Jiang Shenghe led Luo Qi away, he smoked five cigarettes in a row, the sixth one he just lit.
"Di-di-" two whistles.
Pei Shixiao raised his eyes, and his mother's car came up to her, and the window slid down.
He exhaled smoke: "Mom, how do you know I'm here?"
Mrs. Pei: "I called you to talk to you about something, but I couldn't get through. Besides here, I can't think of where else you can go."
"If you draw until tomorrow, nothing will change."
Pei Shixiao stood still and didn't get in the car until he finished smoking a cigarette and threw the cigarette **** away.
"She is with Jiang Shenghe."
"What?"
"Luo Qi and Jiang Shenghe are together, and they should be together this afternoon." At noon, Jiang Shenghe hadn't confessed his love, either in the afternoon or in the evening.
Mrs. Pei was shocked, "I said so. You came here at night."
Luo Qi has a new relationship, she is relieved, but also feels uncomfortable for her son.
"Still not giving up?"
Pei Shixiao was silent.
Mrs. Pei felt that she had asked nonsense, so what if she didn't give up, Luo Qi had made up her mind.
Everyone knew that Jiang Shenghe would not marry her, his family was not something that ordinary people could marry into, and it was impossible for his family to agree. Knowing that there was no result, she still chose Jiang Shenghe without hesitation. She would rather not have marriage and future, and no longer consider reuniting with her son.
Luo Qi's determination not to get back together should be the same as her determination to get revenge on her husband.
Can't turn back.
"Mom tried her best, and you tried my best to make it up, so let's do it like this." She told the driver: "Drive."
Pei Shixiao pressed his forehead, the car passed by all the memories of him and Luo Qi.
"I'll go to Shanghai at the end of the year, so we won't have to go to another place."
"When you arrive, let's go out to eat. I'm not hungry now."
"What time are we going to try on the wedding dress tomorrow?
"miss you."
He didn't respond in time to every word she said.
Never again.
She cares so much about the person at work, she is willing to go to Shanghai for him.
A phone call came in, interrupting his memory.
Pei Shixiao looked at his phone. It was Cui Peng's number. He didn't save it, but he remembered the last number.
No answer, cut off directly.
Later, a text message from Cui Peng came in: [Sorry to bother you. Today your mother's secretary asked me to settle the score, saying that I was waiting for you in the restaurant, but I didn't. It's the restaurant I went to first, and I don't have the ability to predict, so you will pass by. If I really have that ability, I want to run into you every day. 】
Pei Shixiao didn't reply.
Mrs. Pei looked at her son, thinking it was a call from work, and he was in a bad mood and didn't want to answer it for the time being.
She said a few words of relief: "It doesn't matter if you lose your relationship, you can't lose your career. You lost to Jiang Shenghe emotionally, and you can't lose in the business again."
The next night, the summit forum ended, and they took the evening bus back.
After a day of adjustment, Luo Qi had already calmed down. She didn't think much about the scene of Jiang Shenghe holding her in his arms and holding an umbrella for her last night.
After returning to Beijing, I returned to my busy work.
On Thursday afternoon, Luo Qi finished her work report, "Mr. Jiang, do you have any orders?"
Jiang Shenghe was looking at the computer without looking up, "Give me a copy of Ruipu Medical's sales in the past three years, and the list of management, including your detailed resume."
"Okay, I'll give it to you before I get off work."
Luo Qi came out of the office, closed the door, and exhaled secretly. Now facing the boss is more stressful than before, for fear of accidentally making mistakes.
Back in her office, just as she sat down, she was called from an unfamiliar number, which was from Su Cheng.
Luo Qi thought for a moment, it might be someone from Ruipu Medical, she connected.
"Assistant Lott's phone is really hard to get through."
It was the voice of the eldest aunt, with a mocking tone.
"You don't have to hang up the phone in a hurry. I can't care what happened to you and that Pei Shixiao. Besides, you wanted to do it yourself. It's none of my business. I was just eating radish and worrying about it before! In the end, he didn't appreciate it at all." Aunt snorted coldly.
She called today not to scold Luo Qi.
The big client of the Pei family was completely lost.
"The cooperation between our company and Pei Shixiao's family," the auntie paused every word, gnashing her teeth: "Because of you, the contract will not be renewed!"
Without such a big client as the Pei family, the company suffered heavy losses, and had no choice but to threaten Luo Qi, forcing her into a corner, so that she could reconcile with Pei Shixiao.
So she made the situation more serious and said, "Such a big client is gone, and now we can't turn over the funds. Do you know how much pressure our family is under? We owe more than 10 million yuan. You can figure it out. You can't wait for three years. I will give you two months at most, hurry up and give it to me."
Before Luo Qi could speak, hang up first.
Luo Qi was so angry that she called back.
The eldest aunt thought she was being forced to do nothing, so she changed her mind and answered after more than ten seconds: "What's the matter? Tell me quickly, I'm busy." She subconsciously began to show off.
Luo Qi: "When I borrowed money, I agreed to pay it back slowly, and pay it off within a few years. Even the bank can't change the repayment period casually! Since the order is mentioned, I'll break it down for you. From Pei Shixiao's house When I got a big order and made a lot of money, I didn't see you give me the credit. If it wasn't for me, where did you get the order from Pei's family?"
"At the beginning, you were willing to borrow money because you thought that I would not be short of the 10 million when I married Pei Shixiao, and I would pay it off as soon as I got married. Maybe there would be a few more orders to thank you. Now that your calculation has failed, you can only pocket it yourself. After all, investment is risky, if you are not cautious, who is to blame."
"You...Luoqi, you..." The aunt was incoherent in anger, "Look at you being arrogant, do you know how much you weigh!"
"Ninety-two catties and three taels."
"You!" The eldest aunt was about to explode in anger, "I limit you to pay back the money within two months, and you can't delay it for a day! It's not negotiable!"
Luo Qi: "I'll tell you again, don't threaten me at all times, you think I'm afraid? I owe your family money, I'm willing to pay it back in a few years, I have the final say!"
She hung up and blocked the number.
Luo Qi came back with a cup of coffee and poured it back. Pei Shixiao's family didn't end the cooperation immediately after they broke up, but postponed it for another year, but even so, the eldest aunt was still not greedy enough.
When she got off work, Jiang Shenghe called her: "Where is the information I want?"
Rocky: "Not yet."
"How much is left unsorted?"
"Half." Being angry by the auntie, it was delayed for more than ten minutes, and the work efficiency was not as good as usual, and only half of the materials that should have been sorted out were sorted out.
"Come here." Jiang Shenghe hung up the phone.
Luo Qi put down the mouse and went to the boss's office with the mood of dying.
Jiang Shenghe looked straight at her, "Why didn't you finish it? With your work efficiency, it shouldn't be delayed until now. I want to hear the reason, not a lie."
Luo Qi knew that the boss had misunderstood her, thinking that it was because of Pei Shixiao that she delayed work again.
At this time, apologizing is useless, it can only remedy the work, "It's a family matter, it has been resolved, and I will give you the information in half an hour."
Jiang Shenghe didn't say a word.
Judging by the boss's expression, this explanation is simply not perfunctory. The boss knew about her family's debts. When she went to Yuanwei Capital for an internship, it was because she couldn't pay the tuition fees and had to earn living expenses. Her company went bankrupt, both he and Jiang Sixun knew about it.
There's no shame in being in debt, and it's not like she didn't want to pay it back on purpose.
Luo Qi told the truth: "It was because of a phone call from my aunt. Our family owed her family more than 10 million. Her company had a cooperation with the Pei... family before, but now the cooperation is terminated. My aunt urged me to pay back the money. In disguise, they forced me to get back together."
Jiang Shenghe asked: "I used your uncle's money, how many years are agreed to pay back?"
"The repayment period my dad wrote on the IOU is five years." Originally, it could be repaid in three or four years, but my father wanted to save her a dowry for one year, so he postponed the repayment period by one year. I heard from my mother that my cousin didn't want an IOU at that time, saying that the family would not see each other. It was the father who took the initiative to type the IOU, and wrote down how to calculate the interest, and gave the IOU to the eldest aunt. She added: "After breaking up, I promise them that I will pay back in three years."
"How long did your aunt give you in order to force you to get back together?"
"Within two months. I ignored her and paid it off in three years according to the original plan."
Jiang Shenghe nodded, expressing his understanding. Since it was the aunt who used means to force her to get back together, she will not give up easily, "Your aunt will come to you again and ask her to sue, and the attorney company will arrange for you. Yuanwei's lawyer team has no record of losing a lawsuit for six consecutive years."
Rocky: "..."
She doesn't need a lawyer, even if her aunt wants to scare her with a lawsuit, her uncle and cousin will not agree, but they are still grateful: "Thank you Mr. Jiang."
Jiang Shenghe was quiet for a moment, and found a way that she could easily accept and didn't need to owe too much favor, and relieved her urgent needs, "You are one of the few people Jiang Dong cares about, and I have a tacit understanding with you as a partner. I personally hope that you can stay in Yuanwei all the time, so if one day you decide to pay back the money in one lump sum, you can apply to the company for an advance payment of the annual salary for the next five years, and I will sign a guarantee for you to apply for it."
Luo Qi didn't expect that the boss would take the initiative to help her find a way. She wouldn't advance her salary. The five-year salary advance was the same as when Jiang Yueru wanted to parachute her to Yuanwei Capital. It didn't follow the rules and would make the boss very troublesome.
He is the same as Chairman Jiang, she has nothing to repay her for her kindness, so she can only work twice as much, "Mr. Jiang, I will sort out the materials and send them to you in half an hour at most."
She should be in a bad mood now, and he wants to accompany her, "Bring it here and I'll tidy it up with you to save time."
