Marry First, Love Later

Chapter 8: Wednesday night phone call

Views:

On the first night after moving into the villa, Qin Moling suffered from insomnia.

He never recognizes the bed or the place when he sleeps. He spends at least one-third of a year on business trips and stays in hotels. The highest record is that he changes five hotels a week, and these five hotels are in different cities.

He has no conditions for accepting the bed.

Now I live in my own house, and I wake up in the middle of the night, and I can't fall asleep after that.

Maybe it's because he likes to live in the upper floors, but suddenly he's not used to living on the second floor.

Whether living in an apartment or a hotel these years, Qin Moling preferred high-rise rooms. The apartment he usually lives in is on the fiftieth floor, overlooking the bustling night view of half the city.

But now, all that can be seen in front of him are the lawn in the yard and a small garden.

It was cold and there was nothing to see in the garden.

Qin Moling closed the curtains, returned to the bed, and leaned against the head of the bed to brush his phone. He suddenly remembered something, opened Jian Hang's WeChat, and changed the note.

Jianhang's English name is Olive, small olive.

His note to Jian Hang is: Olivia

I don't know what Jian Hang's WeChat note is for him, is it his name, or her husband

Qin Moling looked at his phone for a while, but was still not sleepy, so he went to the study to work overtime.

On the third day after moving to the villa, Qin Moling went to his grandfather's house after get off work at night, and his grandmother told him to go home for dinner.

The old lady Qin heard that her grandson took the initiative to move to the wedding room, not to mention how happy she was. This marriage was decided by her and the old man. They can rest assured that the two children are doing well.

"Are you used to it?" she asked concerned.

Qin Moling: "I'm not used to living here."

Mrs. Qin: "I'll get used to it after a few months of living."

Qin Moling: "..."

He originally wanted to say something, but felt it was unnecessary. No matter what he said, grandma would block him with the phrase "you will get used to it slowly".

The old lady knew what her grandson was thinking, "I didn't let you live in the villa all the time. After you and Jian Hang have developed a relationship, no one cares about you. Now the situation is special, so you will do it."

"Has Jian Hang also moved there?" she asked.

"not yet."

Qin Moling thought that she would move there on her own initiative. That day he made a special trip to mention in her office that he was going to move on the weekend, just to tell her that she could move too.

In the end she didn't respond.

"Jian Hang is trying to get a big project recently."

He finds a reason to prevaricate grandma and smooth things over for Jian Hang.

The old lady Qin understood Jian Hang, "Don't worry, let Xiao Hang work on the project with peace of mind, and it won't be too late to move after the project is won. By the way, when the two of you come back for dinner, I will discuss with you when the wedding will be held."

Qin Moling didn't know what Jian Hang was up to, he just made up what he said just now.

As for the wedding, he didn't want to do it so early.

--

Inadvertently told by Qin Moling, Jian Hang is indeed busy fighting for big projects. In order to win the Wanyue Group's M&A project, she temporarily quits the game and leaves the game in a month.

When Lin Xiao heard the news, it was like a bolt from the blue. It wasn't that he didn't have other friends to form a team for the game, it's just that without Xiao Olive, playing the game was boring.

For four years, he, Qin Xing and Xiao Olive have formed a tacit iron triangle, invincible. Teaming up with other friends doesn't have the tacit understanding with Little Olive.

He doesn't play games just to pass the time. After all, there are countless entertainment items for him to pass the time. He plays games to find the thrill of crushing others.

Without Little Olive teaming up with them, how could he crush others

The more Lin Xiao thought about it, the more unwilling he became: "Little Olive, you have a new love and plan to kick me and Qin Xing away!"

Jian Hang: "..."

[It's not like you three generations, do whatever you want, if you don't want to do it, just lie flat. I have to train for the next month. If I fail the assessment, I won't be able to be promoted. If I can't be promoted, I will have to leave.]

She made the situation serious.

Lin Xiao patted his chest and promised: "You come to me after being fired, and I promise to arrange your work properly. Do you want to come to my company or Qin Xing's company, it's a matter of words."

Jian Hang: [I'm busy.]

She quits the game.

Until the noon of the next day, Lin Xiao was still depressed about Xiao Olive's retreat for a month.

For countless moments, he wondered if Little Olive had completely abandoned him and Qin Xing, and applied for a trumpet and Xinhuan to abuse food.

During the lunch break, Little Olive was not online.

Lin Xiao left a message: [The first day of retreat. Will you have a new love!]

Qin Xing called him, "Are you busy? I'll go and see you."

"Where are you?"

"Downstairs from your company." Qin Xing came to see the client, who was in the office building next door, so he stopped by to brag to Lin Xiao.

Lin Xiao was weak, "Bring me a cup of hot Americano."

He needs hot coffee to warm his heart.

Qin Xing packed two cups of coffee, one for Jian Hang. Every time he came over, he would say hello to Jian Hang.

"Sister-in-law, are you busy?"

The door of Jian Hang's office was left open, and Qin Xing knocked on the door twice symbolically.

Jian Hang got up and warmly greeted him to come in and sit down, "Why are you free today?"

"Let's talk next door." Qin Xing put a cup of coffee on Jian Hang's table, and then sent a message to Lin Xiao: [Come here to get your coffee.]

Lin Xiao's anger went straight up: [Fuck! You want me to get coffee from the witch?]

[She and I are in the same family now, so be careful what you say.]

Lin Xiao wanted to refute, but found that Qin Xing's words were correct. He swallowed his anger and reluctantly went to Jian Hang's office.

It's lunch break now, even if Jian Hang is his immediate boss, he can't control what he says in his private time.

He complained to Qin Xing: "Little Olive must have opened a trumpet behind my back, and I'm getting along with other people."

Jian Hang, who was in front of the computer, glanced at him speechlessly.

Qin Xing winked at Lin Xiao, reminding him not to talk nonsense in front of his boss. Qin Xing interrupted and asked Jian Hang: "Sister-in-law, do you play games?"

"Don't play." Jian Hang said without blushing and heartbeat: "Playing games is addictive. I don't have time."

Qin Xing didn't doubt him, "Sister-in-law, you are just like my brother. My brother doesn't play games either. He annoys me playing games the most, saying that I lose my ambition."

Lin Xiao was caught by the connotation, he was not convinced, and suddenly sat up straight, "Your brother is still playing with cars, why don't you say it?"

Qin Xing: "Maybe he thinks what he's playing with is not cars, but money."

Lin Xiao: "..."

What worries Jian Hang is that she and Qin Moling have absolutely no common language. Originally, she thought that when she lived together, she would play games with Qin Moling. After a long time, she would always have something to say.

Qin Xing's words made her disillusioned.

After waiting for a cup of coffee, Qin Xing said goodbye.

Jian Hang had an appointment in the afternoon, and she motioned to Lin Xiao, "Come out with me."

"Where are you going?"

"Wan Yue."

In terms of business, Lin Xiao's mud can't support the wall. In his own words, I am already a salted fish, and even if I turn over again, I will still be a salted fish.

But Jian Hang has never given up on him. Whenever there is a new project, she always brings him with her.

In Lin Xiao's eyes, her kindness to him was blatant revenge, and it was giving him little shoes.

The last thing Lin Xiao does before going to bed every day is to play games, then discuss tactics with Oliver and Qin Xing, and the first thing he does when he opens his eyes the next day is to pray that Jian Hang will be promoted and transferred away quickly.

If one day Jian Hang leaves his job and is no longer working in Yin Lin, he must buy fireworks to celebrate and set them off in the suburbs for three days and three nights.

Lin Xiao went back to the office to get his coat, and went downstairs with Jian Hang.

When I met my colleague who came back from outside, I greeted Jian Hang: "Olive, good."

Lin Xiao felt dazed, and when he heard Olive, he thought of Little Olive inexplicably. He sneaked a glance at Jian Hang beside him, how could there be such a big gap between people, Little Olive is one more person, and then look at the female devil.

Ugh.

Lin Xiao couldn't figure it out, how could his father and mother appreciate a woman like Jian Hang? His mother actually wanted Jian Hang to be his daughter-in-law, and encouraged him to pursue Jian Hang.

How much he couldn't think about chasing Jian Hang, besides, he was not interested in sibling love.

But his mother said that the female junior holds a golden brick. Forget it, does he want a gold brick to hit himself in the foot? If he was with Jian Hang, his happiness in the next life would be completely over.

Finally, Jian Hang received a marriage certificate, and his mother finally gave up.

On the way to Wanyue Group, Jian Hang read the documents carefully, and Lin Xiaosheng who was sitting next to her had nothing to love, sighed, and resignedly took a copy of the documents and pretended to look.

Wanyue Group is in charge of the acquisition case Zhong Yanfei, she is the daughter of Wanyue's boss and the eldest daughter of the Zhong family. Zhong Yanfei is married and has a younger sister named Zhong Yanyue.

Jian Hang didn't know the two sisters of the Zhong family, Mr. Gao made an appointment with Zhong Yanfei for her.

They made an appointment to meet at four o'clock, Jian Hang arrived downstairs at Wanyue Group at 3:30, and at 3:50, she went upstairs with Lin Xiao.

They were greeted by Xiao Zhang, Zhong Yanfei's assistant, who brought coffee, "Boss Zhong is still in a meeting, please wait a moment."

At 4:20, Xiaozhang came in again, apologizing: "There is a problem with a project, and Mr. Zhong rushed to the scene."

The meaning couldn't be more obvious, Zhong Yanfei didn't have time to interview them this afternoon.

Jian Hang smiled politely, "It's okay, we will make an appointment next time."

It's not polite to make an appointment next time, so she called Gao Yu on the way back and asked him to help make another appointment with Zhong Yanfei.

When Gao Yu heard that Jian Hang didn't see Zhong Yanfei, he knew instantly that it was more difficult than they imagined to win the Wanyue Group's M&A project.

It's not the first day for Jian Hang to be in the workplace. She and Gao Yu know some things well, and the two of them even tacitly know each other. Zhong Yanfei is Party A, and she has the capital to decide whether to meet or not to see a person.

As for why Zhong Yanfei didn't see her, it might be something temporary, or Zhong Yanfei may have taken a fancy to other financial institutions and didn't intend to cooperate with Yin Lin.

These are not important anymore.

What Jian Hang is concerned about is whether he can make an appointment with Zhong Yanfei next time. Only when she meets Zhong Yanfei can she have a chance to win the project.

Gao Yu: "Leave this to me, I'll make another appointment."

Jian Hang returned to the company and plunged into the project information. The assistant ordered takeout for dinner. After eating, he continued to analyze the data. He didn't pay attention to the time when he was busy.

The mobile phone placed on the corner of the table vibrated, she glanced at the number and picked it up to answer.

"What's up?"

Qin Moling said lightly, "Today is Wednesday."

Jian Hang looked at his watch, it was exactly half past ten. This time was the time they agreed to call each week, and she had long since forgotten about it.

If it wasn't for the ring on her ring finger, she would often wonder if she was married.

"Busy and confused."

Jian Hang rubbed his forehead.

Qin Moling asked: "Still in the company?"

"Yeah." Jian Hang picked up the water cup at hand to drink, the water was already cool.

Qin Moling was in the study room at home, with a piece of paper in his hand, on which was the outline of his phone call tonight, and a pen beside him, to record the key points of her speech at any time.

"What have you been up to these days?"

After all, he picked up his pen.

Jian Hang: "Busy at work, I have three projects on hand, one of which is about to be finished. Recently I am busy fighting for a merger and acquisition project of Wanyue Group."

"Two o'clock and one line every day, home, company. Besides work, it's work." She didn't mention games, and she had already planned to quit games for a month, and there was no need to mention them.

Jian Hang stood up and took the cup to add hot water.

Qin Moling put down her pen, her life was too monotonous, there was nothing to memorize.

He asked again: "No hobbies?"

Yes, the game he called playful is her hobby. But she wasn't going to tell him.

Jian Hang thought for a while before saying, "There is one."

"What hobby?"

"make money."

Apart from making money, she just plays games. Now that she doesn't play games, the only hobby she has left is making money.

Qin Moling had nothing to say.

There was a moment of silence.

Seeing that Jian Hang had nothing else to tell him, he then talked about what he had done in the past few days, and only picked a few important things to tell her.

Similar to her, Qin Moling is busy with work most of the time, but his spare time life is richer than hers.

"I played cards with Jiang Shenghe in the clubhouse last night."

Jian Hang knew Jiang Shenghe. When she was still at the headquarters of Yinlin Capital, she had dealt with this business tycoon twice. Jian Hang asked casually, "You have a good relationship?"

"Yeah." Qin Moling didn't have a deep chat, he and Jian Hang called to find out what the other party was doing, it was to deal with the family members, some things were enough to get a rough idea, there was no need for a deep chat.

"when are you going back?"

Jian Hang sat back with a glass of warm water, "There are still more than a dozen pages of information, read it before leaving."

Qin Moling looked at the time, and when she finished her work, it was estimated to be half past eleven, "It's too late, I'll let the driver pick you up."

Jian Hang refused: "Forget about the driver's words, it's troublesome." If he came to pick her up, she would wait at the company before leaving.

Qin Moling is not stupid, she can hear the subtext in her words, she wants him to answer.

He has never been a driver for anyone, and he has never made a special trip to pick anyone up.

Thinking about it again, Jian Hang is his wife and is no longer an insignificant stranger. Regardless of his relationship, he has the most basic responsibility and care for her.

It was his responsibility to pick her up, not because he wanted to.

After doing a good job of psychological training and convincing himself, Qin Moling folded the phone outline paper on the table with one hand, stuffed it into the drawer, and said after a pause, "Then you wait at the company."
