"Sorry, I was late for asking you to eat. I really deserve to be punished." Zhong Moqian smiled and apologized as soon as he came in.
Lin Zhenqing said: "Mr. Zhong is polite. You are a busy person. Unlike us, the tight time is understandable."
"But no matter how busy you are, you still have to be punctual, do you think Mr. Zhong?" Qiao Ning said with a smile.
Lin Zhenqing was embarrassed, and Qiao Ning's words were rather unkind, so he went to see Zhong Moqian quickly, fearing that he would be angry about it.
Unexpectedly, Zhong Moqian smiled and said with a good temper: "Miss Qiao is right. It is my fault to be late. I will punish myself for a cup first. You are free."
As he said, Zhong Moqian picked up the wine glass and drank it.
When Zhong Moqian was drinking, Xu Meng approached Qiao Ning and asked, "Qiao Ning, what's wrong, why did I listen to you being so unkind to Mr. Zhong, he offended you?"
Qiao Ning rolled his eyes and said, "He didn't offend me, but he betrayed Li Chengyan."
Secretly engaged with Zeng Shaoyi and Yan Su, and took over the project of the integrated plan. It is not a betrayal of Li Chengyan or something.
Because they are still best friends, Li Chengyan believes in him so much, he didn't expect that he would actually play this behind the scenes.
Originally, she shouldn't have come to today's celebration party, and she didn't help much, but the reason she came was to see what kind of face Zhong Moqian had to meet her.
Xu Meng shrugged in confusion, but didn't ask much, after all, Zhong Moqian was still here.
The waiter served the food very quickly, and it was really hearty.
Zhong Moqian said some words of gratitude and said that his friend would come soon.
Xu Meng thought that the decoration style was relatively soft and suitable for women to live in, so she smiled and asked, "Mr. Zhong, is your sweetheart?"
Zhong Moqian chuckled and said, "It's unrequited love."
Lin Zhenqing said immediately: "Mr. Zhong is so hard, I believe it will not be unrequited love soon."
Zhong Moqian sighed and said, "I don't dare to expect this. As long as she is willing to accept my kindness, I will be satisfied."
What Zhong Moqian said is extremely pitiful, and a person like him who wants to have a good appearance and a wealth of money can say such things, which inevitably makes people feel embarrassed.
Xu Meng approached Qiao Ning and said in a low voice: "I don't know what kind of fairy Zhong likes. I don't even look down on Mr. Zhong, who else can I see."
Qiaoning shrugged, saying that he didn't know. But there was a strange feeling in my heart, vaguely guessing, but I didn't dare to think about it.
After dinner, Xu Meng and Lin Zhenqing left.
Lin Zhenqing drank a little too much, so Xu Meng had to drive him back.
Then he said to Qiao Ning: "Qiao Ning, what do you do, your family Mr. Li is not here, do you want someone to pick you up?"
Zhong Moqian immediately said: "Don't worry, I will send her back."
Qiaoning also drank two glasses, so he dared not drive back, so he could only take a taxi or ask someone to deliver it.
When Xu Meng heard Zhong Moqian send her away, he relaxed and helped Lin Zhenqing to leave.
Zhong Moqian said to Qiao Ning: "Get in the car! I'll see you off."
Qiao Ning nodded and sat in from behind, and Zhong Moqian also sat in quickly.
The driver started the car and sent Qiao Ning home at the address mentioned by Zhong Moqian.
Qiao Ning looked at Zhong Moqian's reddish cheeks and pursed her lips, "Are you okay! Or let the driver take you back to sober up? I didn't drink much, but you drank a lot."
Zhong Moqian smiled and shook his head and said: "I'm fine, this bit of wine is not a big deal to me. It's okay, let's send you back first!"
"Thanks a lot." Qiao Ning thanked him.
Zhong Moqian said again: "You seem to have some opinions on me. Today, you are stabbing me from time to time. Is it because of the one-piece plan?"
Qiao Ning blushed when he said so bluntly, and said embarrassingly: "I just think Li Chengyan treats you as a friend, but you..."
Zhong Moqian said: "It's normal for the market to change unpredictably, you die and I get angry. As the president of the company, I naturally have to work for the welfare of my company. I originally thought that Zeng Shaoyi and the Li Group, and My company was the ultimate winner, but I didn’t expect Yan Su’s company to be born out of nowhere, and it was going to be aggressive. However, I did not betray Li Chengyan. It was he who gave up this opportunity on his own initiative and allowed me to persevere. All of this is under Li Chengyan's control. And I just picked up a leak."
"That's it! Sorry, I misunderstood you." Qiao Ning apologized.
Zhong Moqian smiled and said: "You don't need to apologize to me. The reason I explain to you is just because I think I can get along with you. I am a good friend. I don't want to lose you as a friend. Li Chengyan will always be better than you. Imagine more powerful. His temporary frustration may be a longer-term plan. You see that he is not very good now. After successfully signing the project of country a, the project of Fengcheng is not worth mentioning to him. The most The important thing is... Forget it, don't say it."
"Why didn't you say anything, what do you want to say?" Qiao Ning asked curiously as he watched him hesitate to speak.
Zhong Moqian shook his head and said flatly: "It's nothing."
Qiao Ning frowned, he always felt that Zhong Moqian was a little sad today. Even a smile cannot conceal the loneliness in his eyes.
"Mr. Zhong, the person you like... Isn't Ye Ziqing?" Qiao Ning asked.
Zhong Moqian was startled, and said with a wry smile: "How do you know that Li Chengyan told you?"
"Of course not. He never talks about the three of you, especially with Ye Ziqing. I'm just guessing. I saw pictures of you three in Li Chengyan's study. Since all three of you know each other, you So I can’t love it, so I guessed it and asked you. I didn’t expect it to be so.”
Zhong Moqian smiled bitterly, nodded slightly and said: "Yes, the three of us have known each other since we were young. It can be said that we grew up with childhood sweethearts. But the relationship is a bit complicated. In this relationship, I am just a third party, and it is superfluous. People. Ziqing has always loved Chengyan and has never changed."
"Then why did they break up?" Qiaoning asked eagerly.
Zhong Moqian shook his head: "I don't know the specifics. It is always Ziqing who left Fengcheng and went to country a. This journey lasted three years.
"Country A? You said Ye Ziqing is in Country A?" Qiao Ning exclaimed.
Zhong Moqian smiled and said: "Are you afraid that she and Cheng Yan are in contact? Don't worry about this, they have always been in contact. We will meet each other every year. Cheng Yan will not miss her when she goes to country a, but since Cheng Yan If you marry you, you will never have another relationship with her."
Qiao Ning frowned, feeling very uncomfortable.
Li Chengyan never told her that Ye Ziqing was in country A. This was the second time he went, and he never told her to meet with Ye Ziqing.
"Haven't Cheng Yan told you?" Zhong Moqian asked, looking at Qiao Ning's expression in confusion.
Qiao Ning let out a dull "um".
Zhong Moqian thought for a while and said, "Perhaps he didn't tell you because he was afraid of your misunderstanding."
