A few days later, Saturday.
Today, Lin Qingle invited a partner to a hotel for dinner. Because the girls in the department couldn't drink much, and Lin Qingle didn't want to bring girls here to drink too much, so this time, she brought three male subordinates with her.
The two parties sat there, drinking and chatting, which took a long time. But fortunately, these three hours were not wasted, and the cooperation was finally concluded.
At around nine o'clock in the evening, the two parties who had reached an agreement walked out together.
After watching his partner get in the car and leave, Lin Qingle could no longer maintain the smile on his face and reached out to press his temple.
These people on the other side are so good at talking that she is almost talking dry.
"Manager, are you okay?" Ji Li asked when he saw her expression.
Lin Qingle waved his hands: "I'm fine, but are you three okay?"
Ji Li shook his head.
Another subordinate said, "Ji Li, you have a really good alcohol tolerance. Look at Xiao Tong, he probably can't tell east from west."
Lin Qingle glanced at Xiao Tong who was helping others stand up and said, "I'll call a taxi to take you all back first."
"No, no, I'm not that drunk. I'll call a car to take Xiaotong home first, and then I'll go home by myself."
Lin Qingle: "Are you sure?"
"I'm sure. Don't worry, manager. Just remember to reimburse me later."
Lin Qingle chuckled: "Okay, I understand, then you guys should be careful."
"Okay!"
When the car arrived, the two subordinates got in and left first.
Lin Qingle watched the car go away, then looked at the remaining person on the side: "Ji Li, you drove here, right? I'll call a designated driver for you."
Ji Li pursed his lips and said, "It's okay, I can do it myself."
"I'd better let me call you."
The two of them were standing at the entrance of the hotel. The lights were bright, so Ji Li could clearly see Lin Qingle's appearance. She had drunk a little wine just now out of politeness, but she was obviously not the kind of person who could drink, so even if it was just a little, her cheeks were flushed because of the alcohol...
Perhaps due to the effect of alcohol, he suddenly felt much bolder. He stared at her profile so intently that even though his heart was beating wildly, he did not look away.
As he watched, he couldn't help but wonder, was what Liu Qing said in the office before true
Did she break up with that man
"manager."
"Um?"
"I… "
"Lin Qingle." Suddenly, a voice came from the front and interrupted him.
Ji Li was stunned for a moment and looked towards the source of the sound.
He saw a man standing there, tall and straight, handsome and cool, with a majestic presence without even getting angry. His heart skipped a beat, and he instantly looked at the woman beside him.
It has been almost half a year, and in his eyes, Lin Qingle has always been calm and composed, as gentle as a chrysanthemum. He thinks that although she is young, she has a very stable temperament, because no matter what happens, she can solve it quickly and make them convinced.
However, he had never seen her like this before.
She looked at the man not far away, and it was as if her whole body was suddenly lit up. The smile that instantly appeared on her face was real and charming, and she had completely lost the smell of a strong woman. She suddenly looked like a child... Yes, like a child.
Clean and pure.
"Xu Tingbai!! Why are you here!" She ran towards him, still wearing high heels, but now it was as if she was walking on flat ground, and she arrived in front of the man in no time.
Ji Li was slightly startled, Xu Tingbai... Yes, it was him.
He had never met him, but he had heard of him and seen him in some interviews.
At this moment, the man not far away looked over. Although it was just a glance, Ji Li suddenly felt awkward and stood there, not moving.
"Is it over?" Xu Tingbai touched Lin Qingle's face and asked softly.
Lin Qingle nodded repeatedly. God knew how happy she was to see him here. Although she had told him not to come before, it was because she was afraid that she was too busy to accompany him... In fact, she secretly hoped that he would come.
"Have you been drinking?" Xu Tingbai frowned slightly.
Lin Qingle stared at him: "I drank a little, but only a little. Don't worry, I won't get drunk without you~"
Xu Tingbai saw that she was indeed very sober and smiled: "So obedient."
"Of course not." Lin Qingle said, "You haven't told me yet, why are you here? Didn't I say I have something to do on Saturday, so you don't have to come?"
Xu Tingbai: "I miss you."
Lin Qingle blinked, the smile in his eyes almost overflowing: "Oh!"
"So we're going back now?"
"Yeah! Okay." Lin Qingle took his hand and was about to leave, but suddenly remembered something and turned back, "Oh, by the way, there is another kid here... Ji Li."
Lin Qingle waved at him.
Ji Li came back to his senses and slowly walked up to her: "Manager..."
"I've called a designated driver for you. Please let me know in the group when you get home."
Ji Li: “…Okay.”
"Then, this is Xu Tingbai." Lin Qingle introduced Xu Tingbai, "This is someone from our department, his name is Ji Li."
Xu Tingbai nodded and looked at him: "Hello."
Ji Li: "Hello, Mr. Xu."
"Um."
Lin Qingle: "Well, we'll go first, please be careful."
Ji Li: "Okay."
Lin Qingle walked away holding Xu Tingbai's arm.
Ji Li looked at their backs, and suddenly a thin layer of cold sweat broke out on his back. Just now, Xu Tingbai clearly didn't say anything, but he didn't know if it was his illusion, he felt that his eyes... were not friendly at all.

The two drove back to Lin Qingle's residence in Hangzhou. After entering the door, Xu Tingbai asked casually, "Is the one named Ji Li the one who waited for you when you were working overtime that day?"
Lin Qingle: "Yes, how did you know?"
"I heard it."
"Oh, what's wrong?"
Xu Tingbai gave her a meaningful look and said, "Nothing."
This workaholic in his family probably didn't notice anything.
Xu Tingbai curled his lips, not wanting to talk about it anymore, so he hugged her and was about to kiss her.
Lin Qingle leaned back and said, "Wait a minute... I haven't showered yet, and I smell like alcohol."
"It's okay." Xu Tingbai held the back of her head and said softly, "I'm anxious."
We hadn't seen each other for such a long time that I was really anxious, so I just did whatever I wanted to her in the second half of the night as if to vent my feelings... It wasn't until the middle of the night that I showed any signs of stopping.
Finally, Lin Qingle leaned on his shoulder and fell asleep. In a daze, he suddenly heard someone ask, "We are married, right?"
"Yeah... why are you saying this all of a sudden?"
"Nothing, I just feel like others don't know very well."
Lin Qingle: “…Who doesn’t know.”
"We are separated from each other, and outsiders rarely see us together..."
"But in fact, we see each other often." Lin Qingle said in surprise, "When did you care about others so much?"
Xu Tingbai thought about how there were people in the company who dared to have any ideas about her, and her eyes turned cold. "Sometimes, you need to care."
"Hmm? What do you mean..."
"It's nothing, go to sleep."
Lin Qingle was extremely sleepy, so he just said "oh" and didn't ask any further questions.
The two of them spent a happy weekend together. Xu Tingbai's flight was on Monday afternoon, so Lin Qingle didn't wake him up early Monday morning and went to the company by herself.
But what she didn't expect was that there was a sudden noise outside at lunch time. She walked out of the office and saw Xu Tingbai appear here.
Shouldn't he be leaving for the airport at this hour... Why is he here
Both of them had a tacit understanding that Xu Tingbai had never come to the branch office in the past six months.
On the one hand, it was Lin Qingle's request, she hoped that people here would not attach too much importance to her relationship with Xu Tingbai. On the other hand, it was Xu Tingbai himself, because of his status, when he came to the branch, he had to greet the leadership here, and he found it troublesome.
"Xu Tingbai?" Lin Qingle looked at him in surprise.
Xu Tingbai looked over when he heard the voice, with a smile on his face, "Manager Lin, are you done with your work?"
Lin Qingle: "Why are you here?"
"Of course I came to see you, Manager!" Someone in the department said, "And we all benefited from it, Mr. Xu brought us a lot of delicious food!"
"Yes, yes, thank you, Mr. Xu!"
"No need." Xu Tingbai said, glancing at Ji Li beside him, "From now on, just work hard."
Ji Li was stunned and lowered his head in panic.
Xu Tingbai smiled and said, "Then enjoy your meal. I'll lend you your manager, okay?"
"Hahaha, of course, of course!"
Xu Tingbai nodded slightly, walked forward and took Lin Qingle's hand: "Let's go, let's have a meal together."
"Ah... OK."
Lin Qingle was taken away by him in a daze. After the two left, the entire planning department was in an uproar.
"Damn it! Why did Mr. Xu come so low-key? I didn't hear that he would come before."
"Because I only came here to see our manager, so I didn't tell you."
"Fuck, this single dog has been killed."
"This is the first time I've seen him. He's even more handsome in person!"
"Who said they broke up before? I saw the look in Mr. Xu's eyes... Break up, bullshit."
"These are just nonsense from boring people. How can you believe such things?"
“That’s right.”
…
The people over there were discussing heatedly. Liu Qing glanced at Ji Li who didn't move at all, and approached and said, "What Mr. Xu bought is delicious. Why don't you eat it?"
Ji Li: "We'll eat later."
Liu Qing was the most familiar with him and saw it most clearly. Seeing this, she lowered her voice and said, "I told you that because my information was wrong before. Don't think too much about it."
Ji Li: "What am I thinking about..."
Liu Qing: "Well... it's best not to think about anything. Xu Tingbai's people are not something that ordinary people can touch. Otherwise, you won't know how you died."
Ji Li took a deep breath. Of course he knew.
Others may not understand, but he felt it.
Today, he gave him a warning.

All the way out of the company, Xu Tingbai held Lin Qingle's hand. The two of them looked like this, and it was hard not to attract the attention of others in the company.
Lin Qingle was happy that he came to have dinner with her, but she still felt a little embarrassed being stared at like that.
"Isn't the flight this afternoon? Is it too late for you to go?" Lin Qingle asked.
"It's been rescheduled to the evening."
"Why?"
"Come to have lunch with you."
"Just for this?" Lin Qingle asked, "We didn't meet in the company before. Why did you come this time and bought so much food for my department? So suddenly... What do you want to do?"
"Nothing." Xu Tingbai glanced at her and smiled, "I just wanted to re-declare sovereignty." Please remember:, website mobile version m. computer version., free and fastest update without anti-theft without anti-theft.
