"Dean Xiao, please stop!"
"Mr. Wang?" Xiao Lingqi turned around, saw who was calling him, and touched his communicator expressionlessly. Those who are familiar with him know that this is a habitual little action that he only makes when he is impatient.
"The morning meeting is over. If it's convenient, let's have lunch together?" Wang Shengwen, who looked about 40 years old, said on the opposite side. "I have asked you out several times but failed. It's rare to meet today."
"I'm sorry, but it's really not a coincidence. I already have an appointment today." Xiao Lingqi nodded after finishing speaking, turned around and continued to walk out. This man named Wang Shengwen is a manufacturer of a pharmaceutical company. Today they were invited to participate in the pharmaceutical economic information conference. He had seen this person at a meeting before, and thought that he might ask him out again, so he left as soon as possible. He didn't expect this person to follow him so quickly.
They had met twice before, both in public places. Later, this person didn't know what to think, and started to contact him through various channels. He has been obsessed with research for so many years, and he is actually not very sensitive emotionally, but this person's performance is too obvious, even if he wants to pretend not to see it, it is difficult.
But it is undeniable that he doesn't call this person, so he doesn't like it when the other person pretends to be stupid as if he didn't understand his refusal.
Thinking of this, Xiao Lingqi frowned and quickened his pace.
The people behind did not leave because of this, on the contrary, they kept a distance and followed him, as if they saw his lie.
In fact, Xiao Lingqi didn't make an appointment with anyone. He originally wanted to go to the neighborhood to eat something and then come back to continue the afternoon meeting. But looking at it now, he still has to make an appointment, otherwise this person has been following behind, and when the time comes to find out that he has no appointment, how embarrassing it will be
I really can't understand why there are such ignorant people in this world.
Xiao Lingqi turned a corner, and Wang Shengwen followed suit. Xiao Lingqi had no choice but to look down in the communicator to see who might come out to have a meal with him conveniently at this time.
It's a lie to say it, the place where they have a meeting is in Lindu City. It's not that there are people I don't know here, but there are really no people who are so friendly that they can ask out for dinner at any time without saying hello in advance. Xiao Lingqi was thinking about whether to find a student he had brought out to challenge him, when he bumped into an acquaintance.
"Why are you walking in such a hurry?" Zuo Qiu smiled and helped Xiao Lingqi.
"Why..." Xiao Lingqi originally wanted to ask Zuo Qiu why he was here. But thinking of the lingering guy behind him, he quickly turned a corner in his mind, blinked at Zuo Qiu and silently said the words "help me", and then asked, "Why did you come?"
Zuo Qiu spread his hands and said, "Sorry, the meeting just ended, isn't this just going to find you?"
Adjutant Zhou: Liar! When I came out, I clearly said that I would go back to the army directly!
Xiao Lingqi praised in his heart how quick the reaction was, and continued to walk forward, but this time, Zuo Qiu was beside him.
Zuo Qiu turned his head to let Adjutant Zhou leave first, and asked Xiao Lingqi, "What do you want to eat?"
Xiao Lingqi said: "It's up to you, it's not like you don't know that I'm not picky eaters."
Zuo Qiu didn't say anything, but put his hand on Xiao Lingqi's shoulder naturally. This way it won't look too intimate, but it looks much closer than a normal relationship.
Xiao Lingqi understood Zuo Qiu's kindness, so he didn't deliberately push it away. The two walked to a nearby restaurant together. When ordering, Zuo Qiu signaled Xiao Lingqi to come. Xiao Lingqi looked at the menu on the smart order table, and ordered a lot of side dishes, and then he hesitated when looking at the steak. He watched for a long time between the two steaks that he liked more, and then he made up his mind and ordered one of them. Seeing this, Zuo Qiu smiled and ordered another.
After clicking, the two chatted casually. Originally, the play should be about the same here, but that Wang Shengwen has been following, Xiao Lingqi can only trouble Zuo Qiu to continue to accompany him.
Zuo Qiu leaned forward and said in a low voice, "It seems this time it is more resilient."
Xiao Lingqi was a little helpless, and leaned forward: "I don't like people who bring mental burdens to people like this. They have made it clear before that they don't want to fall in love."
Zuo Qiuxin said that chasing you is really difficult. He helped Xiao Lingqi cut the steak, then silently divided the steak into two portions, then switched to cut his own portion, and divided it into two portions so that Xiao Lingqi could eat both.
"Thank you." Xiao Lingqi was a little surprised. He is quite entangled in eating. Every time he eats, he likes to have more variety, but it is impossible for one person to eat too much, so he will hesitate for a long time. He did not expect Zuo Qiu to be so considerate.
"Actually, most people who like food will have a little struggle when ordering." Zuo Qiu finished eating two steaks with different flavors, "How's the taste?" He chose this restaurant.
"Delicious." Xiao Lingqi nodded, "Unfortunately, we are too far away."
"We can come together again if we have a chance." After Zuo Qiu finished speaking, he poured some red wine for Xiao Lingqi.
In fact, Xiao Lingqi himself is very good, and he is the eldest son of the Xiao family, so the market has always been optimistic, but this person doesn't seem to be very keen on dating, so although he had some thoughts earlier, he still insisted on it. a safe distance. After all, as Xiao Lingqi said before, he doesn't like people who bring mental burden to others. But the two of them have a close relationship, so it's okay to get close to each other appropriately.
Xiao Lingqi didn't know that Zuo Qiu had thoughts about him at all, otherwise he might not have asked Zuo Qiu for help just now. In his opinion, Zuo Qiu is a familiar and close friend. But in all honesty, when he ate the steak Zuo Qiu cut for him, he still felt a little strange. No one has ever observed his preferences in such a detailed way, and they have grasped them with such precision.
Wang Shengwen didn't come here on purpose, but it doesn't mean he doesn't care about Xiao Lingqi anymore. He secretly paid attention for a long time, and found that the interaction between Xiao Lingqi and Zuo Qiu seemed very intimate, but there was a subtle politeness in this intimacy, which was not like what should be between lovers, so he finished eating his own things and went first leave.
Seeing this, Xiao Lingqi breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you so much today, I'll treat you to this meal. I guess there shouldn't be any problems in the future."
Zuo Qiu didn't compete with Xiao Lingqi to pay the bill, but just said matter-of-factly: "I don't think so. Sometimes Wang Shengwen is a stubborn person. Unless he gives up on what he believes, it will be difficult for outsiders to change."
"You know him very well?" Xiao Lingqi was a little surprised. I didn't say hello just now...
"It's not familiar. But he is the largest pharmaceutical company in Huainan District. In the past, one-third of the medical supplies in our military region were provided by his company." Zuo Qiu said, "To be honest, this person has Although it may be easier to hurt others emotionally, but in terms of business, he should also rely on such perseverance to achieve today's achievements."
"It is indeed worthy of respect, but now I just ask him not to be too stubborn." Xiao Lingqi shook his head, looking tired, "By the way, why did you appear here today?"
"Come and send something to my former mentor." After Zuo Qiu finished speaking, he wanted to ask Xiao Lingqi when he would go back, but he always felt that doing so might be a bit of a robbery, so he gave Xiao Lingqi after eating. Go back to the original conference room and leave.
Seeing this, Adjutant Zhou was a little surprised: "Don't you wait for Dean Xiao to go back together? I think Mr. Wang still pays attention to Dean Xiao from time to time."
"No." Zuo Qiu looked in the direction of Xiao Lingqi, "That would be too deliberate. This Dean Xiao is a small frog, and he has to be boiled in warm water. If he puts boiling water directly, he should be scared away." Zuo Qiu Smiling: "Let's go."
Adjutant Zhou shrugged his shoulders and didn't ask any more questions, but he felt in his heart that his boss was too gentle in courtship, shouldn't he be more enthusiastic and intense? He really doesn't look like a fire-type natural force at all!
Zuo Qiu actually has some conflicts. On the one hand, he and Xiao Lingqi are actually not too young. He thinks that too much time should not be wasted on such a slow pursuit. One step, you jump, he is the type to scare away directly. If you really want to get along with such a person, you must be gentle.
Xiao Lingqi didn't know what Zuo Qiu was thinking, and after attending the meeting, he thought about going back to eat something he liked more, but at this time Wang Shengwen stopped him again. This time Wang Shengwen did not ask Xiao Lingqi again, he sent Xiao Lingqi an invitation card, which was a reception to celebrate the new branch of their company. Xiao Lingqi couldn't accept it, so he said that if he had the opportunity, he would definitely participate.
but…
Well he didn't really want to go at all.
After Xiao Lingqi returned to his research institute, he put the invitation card aside, opened the snack drawer, and saw that there was no hair in it, and his mood suddenly became even worse.
The greatest pleasure in his life is actually eating, but in order to cure his younger brother's problem of uncontrollable natural forces, he has done years of research. Now that the younger brother's problem is solved, his greatest pleasure becomes eating again. Research and eating are barely side by side.
Should add some snacks.
Xiao Lingqi called his assistant to help him order some food that he usually likes to eat. The assistant responded, but did not execute it right away. The assistant glanced at the communicator and said, "Dean, you have a courier, which was sent by General Zuo Qiu. Would you like to receive it?"
Xiao Lingqi nodded: "Yes."
The assistant went out and brought a very refined food box. After Xiao Lingqi opened it, he found a card and various delicious snacks inside.
Xiao Lingqi went to pick up a piece of snacks to eat first, and then unfolded the card with the picture of a little frog taking a bath.
When he saw the above, he said: I guess you must eat first and then read, right
Xiao Lingqi coughed lightly, and silently ate the rest of the snack with red ears.
