Anyway, he didn't go to work today, so Lin Manla didn't set the alarm clock last night and slept until one o'clock in the afternoon. When she woke up, the sky was as gloomy as evening because the heavy curtains were drawn. Therefore, Lin Manla covered herself with the quilt and continued to sleep. When she woke up for the second time, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon. She was shocked when she looked at her phone.
"What?!" Lin Manla looked at the message her department director sent her an hour ago, asking her to help take a guest to dinner? The location is the Jinxiu Villa that I just visited yesterday, and the director will reimburse the transportation and food expenses
Lin Manla swallowed hard. She was so lucky recently that she was able to go to a place like Jinxiu Villa for two consecutive days to enjoy life! It's just that this person's name seems familiar. Qi Changfeng seems to have seen this name somewhere.
From what Director Wang meant, it seemed that it was Mr. Qi Changfeng who famously asked Lin Manla to accompany him to dinner. Originally, it was normal for them to go out to have dinner with guests from the investment department, but this was the first time she had encountered him. to the specified object. Is it possible that this Qi Changfeng is a bad old man and wants to hide his rules from her? !
Lin Manla was so frightened that she immediately wrapped the quilt more tightly around her body. But soon, her frowning eyebrows relaxed again.
No, this name is very familiar to me, and it doesn't sound like someone who is older. Could it be that... he is still an old acquaintance of mine
Forget it, forget it, don’t think about it anymore. It's past four o'clock now, and the dinner is at six o'clock. It takes forty minutes to get to Jinxiu Villa from her home, and she has to get up to wash her face and put on makeup. She can't go to meet guests in such a sloppy manner, or even be late, right? Therefore, Lin Manla immediately lifted the quilt and got out of bed to wash up, and naturally ignored the messages Tang Zhongkai sent last night.
Fortunately, Lin Manla had the habit of staying in bed on weekdays, so she was used to cleaning herself up from head to toe in just fifteen minutes. She also put on the khaki coat she just bought a few days ago, and wore light makeup with red Lip pumps, ready to go out.
Lin Manla took out her mobile phone to reply to Director Wang, and walked towards the bus stop near her home. She stopped suddenly just halfway through. Since Director Wang said she could reimburse her, why did she still have to make it difficult for her family to take the bus? Today is Saturday, I'm afraid there will be more people on the bus, right? It would be bad if you were late by then.
Thinking of this, Lin Manla was still a little excited and immediately stopped a taxi. After announcing the name of Jinxiu Villa, Lin Manla could clearly feel the disbelief in the driver's eyes.
Lin Manla was replying to the messages on her mobile phone while praying that the driver could take her to Jinxiu Villa as soon as possible. If he offended the investment boss by being late, even if Director Wang fired him, he would not be able to relieve his hatred.
Fortunately, when Lin Manla arrived at the gate of Jinxiu Villa, Mr. Qi Changfeng was still on the way. Therefore, Lin Manla refused the guidance of the waiter here and stood at the door in person waiting for Qi Changfeng's arrival.
After a while, Lin Manla saw a black Mercedes-Benz drive in, and the doorman skillfully stepped forward to help open the door and took the car key from the passerby's hand. The man who got off the car was in a suit and leather shoes. His short hair didn't show any signs of arrogance, and he was even very energetic.
Sure enough, only really handsome guys can withstand the test of short hair... Lin Manla couldn't help but think so, but she woke up in just a few seconds and greeted him with a smile on her face, "Is this Mr. Qi Changfeng Qi?" ?"
"It's me." The handsome guy is not aloof at all, his voice is gentle and approachable
Lin Manla stretched out her right hand at the right time and said, "Hello, I am the investment department assistant sent by Director Wang. My name is Lin Manla."
"Hello." Qi Changfeng also smiled slightly, stretched out his hand to hold it lightly, then took out the silk scarf on his chest and wiped it without leaving a trace, "Let's go in."
Lin Manla didn't mind. He had long heard that many young men nowadays had various quirks. Although Qi Changfeng had mysophobia, he didn't refuse his handshake in person, right? But she just wiped her hands and pretended she didn't see him.
"Is this your first time coming to City A, Mr. Qi?" Lin Manla began to talk to the other party skillfully. She always kept the tasks assigned to her by Director Wang in mind. Now she naturally wants to do her best to make the other party have a good impression of her. , only then will you be willing to listen to yourself talk more about the company's prospects, and your investment will be more promising.
"Yes." Qi Changfeng was really cold and said too little... This was Lin Manla's first feeling, but after all, he was her uncle now, so she naturally did not dare to object.
…
Tang Zhongkai on the other side was also mentally exhausted.
Because Ning Xiaowan forced herself to get up early, Tang Zhongkai still looked sluggish until he got dressed, and he looked like he hadn't slept well. I had no choice but to seize the time to go have brunch, drink a cup of coffee to refresh myself, and read the newspaper that was just delivered today.
After checking the time, when it was almost time, Tang Zhongkai told his family and went out. Originally, he was thinking of continuing to drive the sports car from yesterday, but Ning Xiaowan forced him to switch to another ordinary model that was a bit more low-key on the grounds of instability.
Because he didn't want to go to this appointment, Tang Zhongkai's car drove slower and slower. However, after all, his home was not far from Jinxiu Villa, so he finally arrived there half an hour early.
It was still the foreman from yesterday leading the way, but after a while he seemed to hear a familiar voice. When he turned around, it was Lin Manla who he had just met yesterday and hadn't replied to his messages all night. What made him most angry was that there was a wild man beside Lin Manla
Lin Manla accompanied Smiley Face and Qi Changfeng all the way. Because he heard that Qi Changfeng was here for the first time, Lin Manla also recommended many food spots to him along the way. At this time, he was talking about whether to go there tomorrow. What about taking him to the company to have a look
But when Tang Zhongkai suddenly appeared before his eyes, Lin Manla's voice stopped abruptly. Qi Changfeng walked in front, and when there was no sound, he immediately turned back to look at Lin Manla, his face full of doubts. It wasn't until he saw Lin Manla staring ahead that Qi Changfeng realized that there was a man of his own age standing in front of him.
It seems... things are getting interesting.
Qi Changfeng thought so in his heart.
