The result of the conversation that day was not satisfactory, and he didn't know what was wrong. Anyway, when he saw Luan Qing's hope rekindled, he felt a little...uncomfortable.
Luan Qing had obviously never done such a thing as eavesdropping on someone else, and was sweating with nervousness, so he gave him his pocket towel to wipe his sweat. Luan Qing thought he was being kind, but only he knew that he had used the usual tactics in the love field without thinking.
His things are not cheap. Luan Qing used his pocket square. As a man of ordinary origin, he would definitely return it. His return was a new intersection. Ke Mingcheng never claimed to be a gentleman, and there were few decent people among the rich second generation around him.
Sure enough, Luan Qing came to his door a few days later. He must have been paying attention to him for a few days, and specifically found a time when he was working overtime to knock on his office door. He didn't want others to know, as it would be easy for people to misunderstand that he was reporting to a higher level.
"Enter."
Ke Mingcheng was signing a document. When he finished signing, he looked up and saw it was him.
"Mr. Ke."
After sealing the document in his hand, Ke Mingcheng asked, "Luan Bo, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Luan Qing took out his pocket handkerchief, which had been washed and ironed, and placed it on his desk.
"I'm here to return this. I've washed it. Thank you. I wanted to buy you a new one, but I couldn't find one that's the same..." He was a little embarrassed. I don't know if it was because he used his boss's personal belongings to wipe his sweat, or because he couldn't find a new one because he didn't have the boss's spending power. Probably, it was both.
"I'm not that wasteful. I can use it anyway after washing it." Ke Mingcheng picked up the pocket handkerchief and played with it in his hand. A faint fragrance wafted out, the same as the one on Luan Qing's clothes.
"We are of similar age, so there is no need for honorifics."
"You're my boss, that's what I should do." Luan Qing refused neither softly nor harshly, obviously not wanting to have any more contact with Ke Mingcheng.
His confession to Team Leader Zhuang was originally a private matter, but he said it out loud because he was drunk. His boss was already very embarrassed when he heard it, and later he was taken back to a corner by his boss to eavesdrop, which made him even more confused about how to understand the matter.
He should have been very happy to hear that Team Leader Zhuang was getting married by agreement, at least he was not completely hopeless, but after calming down for the past two days, he was not happy. It was a fact that Team Leader Zhuang rejected him, regardless of whether his marriage to someone else was true or not, it was true that he rejected himself.
In addition, he was very concerned about the fact that Mr. Ke was involved in this matter. He was so embarrassed and troubled that he didn't have time to think much about Team Leader Zhuang's affairs.
Ke Mingcheng nodded and said first: "I always thought I was an approachable boss and had a good image in the R&D center." After saying that, he showed a helpless and slightly hurt expression.
Seeing that he misunderstood, Luan Qing quickly explained: "That's not what I meant. You are indeed a good and approachable boss." He was so approachable that he sent his drunk subordinate home and took care of him.
"you?"
"You... Mr. Ke, you are very nice."
"Thank you for your good guy card." Ke Mingcheng put away the documents and stood up, asking him, "Have you had dinner?"
"not yet."
"Then let's eat together." His tone was not one of inquiry, but rather a command that a superior could not refuse.
Ke Mingcheng knew that if he asked, this person would definitely refuse. But he was quite interested in her now. Although he liked Lao Zhuang, since Lao Zhuang had rejected him, it was impossible for him to turn back easily. So if he could get her, it would not be unethical.
