Mu Li tried to catch her but failed, so he had to let her go.
It’s not that he is petty, it’s just that he really doesn’t want Lin Qing to get too close to Xu Yuan.
How could there be such a coincidence in the world that Lin Qing and Xu Yuan are best friends.
Hearing the door closing downstairs, Mu Li lost his sleepiness.
After going to the kitchen to make some lemon tea and taking two slices of bread, Mu Li sat on the sofa and turned on the TV.
At this moment his eyes fell on something.
It was a gift from Xu Yuan to Lin Qing.
He was a little curious and couldn't help but take the box and open it.
After opening it, there was actually a box inside.
Just like nesting dolls, with layers of boxes down to the smallest one, Mu Li felt that this scene was familiar.
Without thinking too much, he opened the last small box.
It was more like a jewelry box.
And inside was a blue gem.
As it happens, he recognized this one.
The two had breakfast near the company, and then Lin Qing and Xu Yuan went to the company together.
After reporting back from the Personnel Department, Lin Qing grabbed Xu Yuan and said, "So you are the new director of the Planning Department!"
Xu Yuan nodded: "You won't blame me for not telling you before, right?"
"How could it be?" Lin Qing narrowed her eyes with a smile, "I'm so happy!"
Xu Yuan has strong working ability and was the best student in professional courses in school. Lin Qing admires this very much.
Therefore, Lin Qing readily accepted this result.
Now that Xu Yuan has become her immediate superior, Lin Qing also acts like a subordinate.
"Minister, I'll go to work now." Lin Qing stuck out his tongue, "Keep working hard!"
She said this and clenched her fist to make a cheering gesture.
Xu Yuan looked at Lin Qing with amusement and waved at her.
Back at the seat, Lu Xiao appeared out of nowhere and poked Lin Qing on the back.
Lin Qing turned around and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I haven't explained to you what happened last time!" She saw Lu Xiao and immediately exclaimed.
Lu Xiao crossed his arms and snorted coldly: "Leaving me there alone, it makes me so sad!"
Lin Qing apologized repeatedly: "Senior got into a fight with someone else, and I was so anxious that I forgot about other things... Lu Xiao, I'm really sorry!"
Seeing that Lin Qing was quite sincere, Lu Xiao turned his face away and said proudly: "Forget it, it's not the first time anyway. But, consider this as you owe me a meal."
Lin Qing immediately greeted him with a smile: "No problem."
Her forgetfulness was much better than her memory. She had left Lu Xiao at the bar and had completely forgotten about it because she was with Mu Li. If Lu Xiao hadn't come over just now, she probably wouldn't have remembered it.
However, Lu Xiao was quite tolerant towards Lin Qing.
Since Xu Yuan became Lin Qing's boss, Lin Qing's work enthusiasm has increased.
Mu Li overheard Lin Qing talking about this, but he didn't react much. He still picked up and dropped off Lin Qing to and from get off work every day as before.
Lin Qing wanted to say no, but was blocked by Mu Li.
He raised his eyebrows and stuck to Lin Qing: "Don't want to?"
Lin Qing had no choice but to surrender: "I want to."
Xu Yuan often assigned some important projects to Lin Qing.
"Lin Qing, the minister is looking for you!" Lu Xiao shouted to Lin Qing from two or three desks away, pointing to the minister's office.
Lin Qing put down the work in his hands and went over, but was stopped by Lu Xiao.
Lu Xiao was very curious and looked suspicious: "I noticed that the minister has been looking for you quite often recently."
Lin Qing treated Lu Xiao as a good friend and did not shy away from saying, "She and I know each other."
Lu Xiao made an expression of sudden enlightenment: "That's what I told you!"
She said and patted Lin Qing on the shoulder.
Lin Qing smiled and said, "Then I'll go over first."
Lu Xiaorang stepped aside and looked at Lin Qing's back thoughtfully.
In the office, Xu Yuan just put down the phone.
She is very competitive and just now spent a lot of effort to close a deal.
When he looked up and saw that it was Lin Qing, he immediately put on a smile and said, "Lin Qing, please read this information, sort it out and send it back to me."
Xu Yuan handed over a black folder that he had at hand.
Lin Qing stepped forward, took it and flipped through it.
"Isn't this the project that we haven't been able to reach an agreement on before?" Lin Qing looked surprised.
Xu Yuan finally breathed a sigh of relief: "We just agreed that I want you to be in charge."
"Me?" Lin Qing pointed at himself, incredulous.
Xu Yuan was a little dissatisfied with Lin Qing's lack of confidence. He leaned forward and put his elbows on the table: "I didn't make this decision casually. I looked at your previous work performance and I think this project is very suitable for you."
"But..." Lin Qing hesitated and put the folder back on the table, "This project is too important. I can't do it."
Xu Yuan was never careless about work. Seeing Lin Qing's expression, he said, "I'm not asking you to do it all by yourself. Like I said just now, take a look first, sort out the key points, and then we can discuss it together."
Lin Qing thought about it before accepting the task.
In order not to disappoint Xu Yuan, Lin Qing worked until very late that day.
She was shocked only when everyone in the company had left.
"Oh no, it's so late already!" Looking at the watch on his wrist with the second hand slowly moving, Lin Qing almost jumped up from the stool.
Just as I was wondering whether Mu Li would be unhappy, someone spoke behind Lin Qing.
"Are you off work yet?" Xu Yuan smiled behind her.
Lin Qing turned around and was surprised: "Xu Yuan, why didn't you leave?"
Xu Yuan stretched his body lazily and rubbed his neck: "I stayed up late last night. I finally finished my work just before getting off work, and I fell asleep while leaning on the chair."
Lin Qing put away the things on the table, took Xu Yuan and said, "It's just right, let's go together."
The two went downstairs and when they walked into the hall, they saw a person standing not far away under the bright lights.
Lin Qing looked carefully and recognized it was Chen Qudong.
"Lin Qing, you got off work so late." Chen Qudong walked towards him and gave Lin Qing a warm smile.
This made Lin Qing a little dazed.
"Senior, why are you here?" She opened her mouth, not knowing if her tone was strange.
Chen Qudong, who came uninvited, stood in front of Lin Qing and said gently, "I just stopped by to see if you are here."
This sounds like a lie.
The end of get off work was half an hour ago.
Lin Qing did not expose the senior, but was polite and kept a distance: "Is that so, then senior, do you want to talk to me about something?"
Chen Qudong glanced at Xu Yuan beside her, feeling a little bothered, and said, "It's okay. I'll come see you next time."
Lin Qing introduced Xu Yuan to Chen Qudong: "Senior, she is Xu Yuan, have you forgotten?"
After looking at Xu Yuan carefully, Chen Qudong finally recognized Xu Yuan.
I haven't seen Xu Yuan for six or seven years, and he has changed a lot.
"Hello." Xu Yuan extended a friendly hand in time, "I still remember you, Lin Qing's senior—Chen Qudong."
There is no way Xu Yuan would forget the man that Lin Qing had been secretly in love with for many years.
Chen Qudong finally let go of his previous restraint and shook hands with Xu Yuan: "Long time no see, I didn't recognize you at first. Are you free later? I'll treat you to a meal."
Lin Qing was about to say that they would do it another day, but Xu Yuan agreed cheerfully: "Okay!"
Chen Qudong went to seek Lin Qing's opinion again, and Lin Qing had no choice but to agree.
"I know a Sichuan restaurant not far from here. The dishes there are very authentic. Why don't we go over and try it?" Chen Qudong suggested.
Xu Yuan was not shy and nodded immediately: "I've been craving for Sichuan cuisine recently."
Lin Qing saw that their every word made her look like the person she hadn't seen for many years.
Chen Qudong asked Lin Qing again: "What do you think?"
Lin Qing had no choice but to say, "Let's go."
After that, the three of them walked out of the building together.
Standing on the steps outside the building, Chen Qudong was chatting with Xu Yuan. Lin Qing glanced casually and saw a slender figure standing in front of him.
Behind the man was a silver sports car.
Both the people and the car looked very familiar to Lin Qing.
Mu Li leaned against the passenger door, looking quietly at Lin Qing, who was walking towards them among the three people.
"Mu Li?" Lin Qing was stunned and called out his name secretly.
Chen Qudong stopped talking when he heard the voice, his face changed and he looked over.
Xu Yuan stood between Chen Qudong and Lin Qing, and also looked at Mu Li at this time.
It was very dark at this time, and Lin Qing couldn't see Mu Li's face clearly, but he could sense the displeasure between his brows. So he took small steps to Mu Li's side, raised his face and smiled.
"I thought you were busy today and wouldn't come." Lin Qing lied.
She completely forgot about Mu Li coming to pick her up.
Mu Li was not annoyed and stared at her for a long time.
"Get in the car." He opened his mouth, his tone cold.
Lin Qing knew it was because of Chen Qudong behind him, so he quickly explained: "Senior was just passing by, and Xu Yuan knew him, so we decided to go have a meal together."
Mu Li showed no expression: "No need to explain, just come home with me."
As he said this, he was about to stuff Lin Qing into the car.
Chen Qudong came over at some point and stopped Mu Li.
"We have already made an appointment to have dinner. If you don't mind, Commander Mu, you can go with us."
Mu Li glanced at Chen Qudong coldly and said, "I told you last time not to get close to my woman again. Did you forget, Mr. Chen?"
Chen Qudong was a little anxious: "Although you are married, she is also my schoolmate and Xu Yuan's friend. What's wrong with having a meal together?"
Mu Li was indifferent: "I don't like it."
"Forget it, since it's not possible today, let's make an appointment another day. Chen Qudong, you will only make things difficult for Lin Qing." Xu Yuan, who had been silent for a long time, said at this time.
Sure enough, Lin Qing was held by Mu Li's wrist and stood next to the car door, feeling very conflicted at the moment.
Chen Qudong refused to give in and turned to Lin Qing and asked, "Lin Qing, are you really living as well as you said?"
Lin Qing exclaimed, somewhat puzzled: "Senior, why do you ask that?"
Chen Qudong secretly clenched his fists: "Because, I don't think you are doing well."
Without waiting for Lin Qing to speak, Mu Li grabbed Lin Qing's arm and threw her into the car.
With a bang, the car door was closed.
Mu Li said coldly to the two people in front of him: "Stay away from Lin Qing."
Chen Qudong was angry and Xu Yuan was upset, and no one responded for a while.
Mu Li also got into the car and forced Lin Qing to fasten his seat belt.
"Hey! What's wrong with you?" Lin Qing reached out to open the door, but was locked by Mu Li.
She was about to open the window to say something to Xu Yuan, but before she could do so, Mu Li stepped on the accelerator.
"Xu Yuan!" Lin Qing knocked on the car window and wanted to say something to Xu Yuan, but he could no longer see the two people standing there.
After driving the car for a long distance, the speed gradually slowed down, and the silver sports car finally drove normally on the wide road.
The two people who were left behind stared silently at the speeding car, with different thoughts in their minds.
