obsessed with love

Chapter 146 Nothing Gets Done

Gu Lan doesn't have many friends, and few of them would take the initiative to contact her, so the phone rang, and nine times out of ten it was Qiao Anming, and they had been married for 20 years, and they would still be happy to hear his call, there was no other way. , Some people change from love to habit, and then from habit to dependence, which is a helpless but happy thing.

"Hey, An Ming, I'm drawing...I'm really upset. After drawing for so long, I can't even copy other people's works!" Gu Lan found the phone, and before the other party could speak, she complained about her coquettishness. Fortunately, Qiao Anming was already used to it, so he calmed down and comforted him: "It's okay, it's just a hobby, don't take it too seriously, it's not good to tire yourself out."

"But I'm not reconciled." Gu Lan pouted slightly, and said disappointedly: "I've been drawing for so many years, but there's no progress, An Ming... Am I really useless, I can't do anything well, I can't even draw a picture well..." She went a little further, and her tone changed from being coquettish at the beginning to being disappointed.

Qiao Anming put the pen in his hand on the desk, and there was no intention of stopping at the other end: "Back then you found such a good teacher to teach me, it was a waste of your thoughts... An Ming, sometimes I feel that I am really It's a burden that accomplishes nothing..."

Qiao Anming frowned, and simply turned his chair to look out the window.

The winter in Chongzhou is very long, so the sun is very rare in the winter, but the sun was really good that day, the light was gentle, and a few beams came in through the closed shutters.

Qiao Anming pressed the button casually, and the blinds on the entire wall were opened, and the golden sunlight shone in instantly, brightening the room.

His eyes were a little uncomfortable, so he blocked them with his hands naturally. Gu Lan's voice continued, but Qiao Anming didn't get a response, so he asked sullenly: "An Ming, An Ming... are you still listening?" ? I think this painting of mine may not be able to be copied in a whole winter..."

He felt a little irritable for no reason in his heart. He has been taking care of Gu Lan's petty temper for more than 20 years, and he should have gotten used to it long ago. The whole office was buried in gloom again...

"Gu Lan, stop painting at home all day, the sun is very good today, ask Aunt Qin to arrange a driver to take you out for a walk..."

"I don't want to go out, it's too cold, by the way, why are you calling me at this time?"

Qiao Anming breathed a sigh of relief, she finally remembered to ask this question, and quickly answered: "The company has a dinner in Shangri-La tonight, I have to go, it may be a little late to go back, don't wait for me, go to bed early! "

"Oh...won't you come back for dinner again?" Gu Lan's tone changed from sullen to frustrated again, she muttered to herself, and then asked: "When will you come back? I asked Aunt Qin to prepare a supper for you?"

"No, I don't know when I can leave for this kind of dinner, so don't worry about me, you go to bed early... I have a meeting later, so let's do it first."

"it is good…"

"Well, hang up..." Qiao Anming hung up, but Gu Lan was stunned for a long time.

This is from memory, he hung up on her so urgently!In the past, no matter what occasion he was in, no matter how busy he was, he would always wait for her to hang up first.

Gu Lan threw the paintbrush in his hand aside, and the black ink stained the drawing paper... The landscape painting, which had no charm, looked even more ugly when it was stained with ink... Gu Lan simply raised his hand , the whole piece of rice paper was pulled out by her, crumpled into a ball and thrown directly on the ground...

She is demanding on perfection and does not allow a little flaw, so if the painting is not good, it is a big deal to repaint.

Although it is said that she can achieve nothing at this age, but she has the fate of "accomplishing nothing"!
In the previous life, she cultivated an omnipotent father, and in this life, she also begged for Qiao Anming, who has unrivaled supernatural powers, so no matter how bad she is, Gu Lan, with these two things, she will have everything she needs!
Thinking of this, Gu Lan's disappointment turned into joy again. She didn't even find the paint and ink on the ground glaring, she just yelled at the top of her voice: "Aunt Qin, I knocked over the paint and asked someone to clean up the studio..."

Because the people for this training came from all over the world, the conference affairs team thoughtfully arranged a buffet for this banquet.

The heating in the dining room was well turned on, and Du Ruo drank a little more wine, so she took off her coat, and only wore that thin white cashmere skirt to blend in with the crowd.

In addition to the training personnel, this banquet was also attended by the entire conference affairs team and other departments of Shengan headquarters, so the scene was grand, with both men and women, so Du Ruo stood among a group of people, with his clothes on his temples and temples shadowed, so it was not a big deal. It looked extraordinarily "outstanding" like in the venue during the day.

Jiang Lei's gaze has been following Du Ruo since he entered the restaurant. The woman Mr. Qiao hand-picked seems to be only a little cautious. For example, she would choose such a beautiful and delicate dress on this occasion. The skirt is close to her waist, showing her exquisite curves, but she doesn't look frivolous, and she doesn't have any complicated accessories all over her body. There is only a small diamond on the earlobe, which is illuminated by the bright white crystal lamp in the restaurant. But she played it to the extreme, making her fair face even more charming and beautiful.

Besides this little bit of caution, Jiang Lei really couldn't see that she had any extraordinary abilities, and she was not even very willing to strike up a conversation with others.

From time to time, a colleague of the opposite sex walked over to chat with her, and she responded with a polite smile, and then walked away sensibly, without any intention of getting close to each other.

On this kind of occasion, such a good opportunity, most of the crowd is the current leader of Shengan and the "potential stocks" who will soon become the leader. She turned a blind eye to it and was completely immersed in her own world. Such a sales team leader... Jiang Lei took a sip of the wine, turned around to get the food, and then turned around to find that Du Ruo had gone back to the wine rack... Picked a strangely colored cocktail from the top and tasted it, but it seemed that the wine didn't suit her taste, so she was mischievous Sticking out his tongue, looking back at the people behind him, seeing that no one saw him, he secretly poured the glass of wine into the trash can at his feet...then shrugged his shoulders, drank a glass of red wine and walked away like a normal person...

Jiang Lei was a little impressed. If he remembered correctly, it was only half an hour since the dinner began, and this was already the fourth glass of wine she drank... From this point of view, it was because of her good drinking capacity , at least she has seen some of her potential to be a "medical representative"!

"Miss Du, you can drink a lot."

Du Ruo turned her head and saw Jiang Lei's smiling face in front of her. She stuffed a sip of red wine in her throat, swallowed it quickly, touched the corner of her mouth with her fingers, and replied with a guilty smile: "No, it's just that the wine tastes good. !"

Jiang Lei didn't argue anymore, anyway, he didn't really come over to strike up a conversation with her to check on her drinking capacity, but just to find an excuse, so he raised the goblet in his hand and compared it with the one in her hand. The cups were touched lightly, and the subject was changed gracefully: "We met for the first time, Ms. Du is very impressive..."

The detour was too big, and Du Ruo couldn't digest it for a while, so he answered one word stupidly: "Ah...?"

This amused Jiang Lei, but out of basic etiquette, he could only purse his lips and smile and then said: "Miss Du, the salesperson with the number one sales in Tongzhou Pharmaceuticals every month, I have admired her name for a long time... I thought she was an aunt, but I didn't expect to see her." To real people, so young and beautiful..."

"Eh..." She was still a particle, it's not that she didn't understand the rules, nor that she was clumsy, it's just that this man, the diamond king of Sheng'an, the vice president of sales, the boss of her boss's boss... Today The speaker of the training, and she was on a business trip for a day, and she didn't listen to a word, suddenly walked over to talk to her without warning, and his tone was full of undisguised gimmicks... With Du Ruo's EQ As far as the situation is concerned, some tricks will not work.

It's just that Jiang Lei has a really good temper, and continues to make fun of himself: "Miss Du, you seem to have an opinion on my training content?"

"Ah... no, no, you spoke very well, and everyone in the audience praised it!" She finally said a complete sentence, but her eyes were full of flattery and hypocrisy, but Jiang Lei's face suddenly darkened. He asked in a serious tone: "Then why is Ms. Du not interested in listening? I see you have been playing with pens all day long. The pens made by Shengan are fun?"

"..." This time she didn't even have any modal particles.

How could she refute, her deserting posture was so obvious that Tong Tian didn't listen to a single word!But there was guilt in his heart, but there was still anger in his eyes.

This person's name is Jiang Lei, right? EBMA right?The celebrity next to Qiao Anming, right?Cut... This person brought out by Joe Fox is so young, even the sarcastic tone and eyes are exactly the same as someone.

What are you proud of?Virtue!
Du Ruo smiled relievedly, held up his glass, and dismissed it directly: "Mr. Jiang, aren't you training on stage? How do you know that I've been playing with pens all day? It's hard for you to pay so much attention to me all day long!"

Jiang Lei was slightly taken aback, but soon burst into laughter.

This woman has a little temper and a little thoughtfulness. Although she is not popular, she is interesting. No wonder even Mr. Qiao has to be partial to her!
When Qiao Anming came in with Assistant Peng, she happened to see the scene where Du Ruo and Jiang Lei were talking and smiling. She was standing in front of Jiang Lei, with a white round-neck top tied around her waist and a black narrow skirt, showing her exquisite curves. But she crossed her legs, leaned lazily on the wine rack, held the glass of red wine in her hand, and smiled brightly.

Jiang Lei also benefited, with one hand in his trouser pocket, and the other holding the cup to touch her lightly, handsome men and beautiful women, no matter from which angle you look at it, it is a sight.

Qiao Anming felt a little bored for no reason, so he unbuttoned his coat.

Assistant Peng took a few steps forward, and was about to clap his hands to announce his arrival, but Qiao Anming just took off his coat and handed it to him. Shen Wei said, "Shut up, I'll come and have a look, and I'll leave in a while."

He really only planned to come and have a look, and even this "look" was an impromptu decision made in the afternoon, but now seeing Du Ruo and Jiang Lei standing together, he couldn't bear it anymore.

Just as he was about to walk a few steps inside, the mobile phone he was carrying rang, and when he picked it up, it was Ren Peiyin's call again.

"An Ming, I heard from Gu Lan that you are having dinner at the Shangri-La Hotel tonight?"

Qiao Anming was really annoyed. He didn't know that the old lady had called twice a day to ask him what the purpose of his itinerary was, but right now they were all subordinates, so he couldn't get angry on the spot, so he had to go to the outer hall with his mobile phone.

When Du Ruo turned her head, she just saw him walking out. She felt a little palpitation, and thought to herself, that figure...why does it look so much like Qiao Anming.

"Miss Du? Miss Du..." Jiang Lei urged, but Du Ruo suddenly turned around, put the wine glass in his hand on the table, hurriedly said "Sorry" and ran out towards the door , instantly left Jiang Lei there.

The banquet held by Sheng'an was on the second floor, and the entire western restaurant was reserved, so Du Ruo ran out, running from one end of the corridor to the other, wearing narrow skirts again, so she was panting, but she still couldn't see that figure, she was unwilling, I can only step on high heels and run to the first floor...

Qiao Anming was actually hiding behind a pillar at the corner, patiently listened to Ren Peiyin's phone call, and then entered the restaurant holding the phone, but that beautiful figure had long since disappeared.

He walked in patiently and searched around. A sharp-eyed waiter recognized him and warmly gave him a glass of wine. He had no time to refuse, so he held the glass of wine and mingled in the corner. When he met his subordinates, he greeted him respectfully. , he just nodded in response, completely perfunctory.

Still feeling bored and irritable for no reason, he simply unbuttoned his shirt again. She was still here just now, how could she disappear in the blink of an eye!Did you go back to your room so soon?But didn't she have a good conversation with Jiang Lei just now?

Qiao Anming felt bored, so he wanted to leave earlier, but when he turned around, he bumped into a person who poured the half glass of red wine on his chest...

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, sir, I'm really sorry..." The man hurriedly took out a tissue to help him wipe, Qiao Anming looked up, only to find that it was a woman, and from her apologetic tone, she didn't seem to recognize herself.This is not surprising, many employees below the manager level in the company have never met him in person, maybe this is just a newcomer recruited by the administration department or the marketing department, so Qiao Anming was not suspicious, but just took a few steps back to avoid the woman. wipe.

He is not close to women, let alone a subordinate he is not familiar with, and there are so many people at the scene, although he has nothing to do with her, but he still wants to avoid it.

The woman saw that he was obviously avoiding her, so she stopped posting it, but still apologized with guilt: "I'm really sorry, I stained your suit..."

"It's okay, you didn't mean it." He has always been a gentleman, let alone no longer wants to entangle with her, so he lowered his head and wiped his suit while perfunctory.

But the woman ran away suddenly, and quickly came back with a glass of wine: "Your suit is too expensive and I can't afford it, but I spilled your wine, so I have to pay you a glass!"

Qiao Anming was a little helpless, so he replied casually: "I don't drink..."

Without saying a word, the woman ran back again, took a drink and hurried back, and changed a more firm tone: "Then don't drink, just drink water..."

Qiao Anming was about to refuse, but the woman didn't allow him to speak, she directly stuffed the glass of water into his hand, and looked at him fixedly: "Drink the water, take it, let me apologize to you..." Ling Ran's upright spirit, his eyes and tone made him suddenly think of someone.

For no reason, he began to look at the woman in front of him, to be precise, she was a beautiful woman, wearing a light gray suit, except that the neckline was pulled low, it was still decent.
