Chapter 101 Sister Xixi, I drank this glass of wine (2 more)
Regarding the matter of resignation, although Mr. Cheng tried to persuade him to stay, Jiang Jinxi made up his mind and finally handed in a letter of resignation.
"Hey, I finally met a caring friend, but you have to leave again." Feng Mengmeng held Jiang Jinxi's arm and sighed with her mouth flattened as she walked.
Jiang Jinxi looked at her with a smile: "If you want me, you can ask me out at any time! And I just agreed with Mr. Cheng that we will finish the last week of this month before leaving. By the way, you went on a blind date the day before yesterday. How does that go?"
Hearing Jiang Jinxi mention this, Feng Mengmeng, who was always carefree, blushed and began to hesitate: "That's...that's it!"
"That's it?" Jiang Jinxi knew that she was probably good when she saw her appearance, so she deliberately joked, "What is it like that? Will it work out in the end?"
Feng Mengmeng lowered her head and muttered: "Just try it first, that guy is pretty good, he said he is very satisfied with me, and we are trying to date now."
Feng Mengmeng said it was pretty good, most of the time she should be very satisfied, Jiang Jinxi doesn't have many friends, she is definitely one of the better friends, seeing her find a good partner, she is also happy for her.
"If you are satisfied, then get along well, and you can get married if you are suitable."
Feng Mengmeng pursed her lips and kept nodding, and finally seemed to think of something, and suddenly raised her head and winked at Jiang Jinxi, "Actually, you also know that person!"
"I know you too?" Jiang Jinxi frowned slightly and searched carefully in her mind.
Apart from Gu Zhan, the only people she and Feng Mengmeng knew together were colleagues from the magazine, right?
"Could it be... someone from the magazine?"
"Jiang Bin! It's the person who saved you in front of the office building last time. Have you forgotten?" Feng Mengmeng smiled with the corners of her mouth curled up, her face full of admiration, "No wonder he's so nimble, just like a He looks like a cheetah, so he used to be a top special soldier! You don't know, I recognized him when we met yesterday, and we hit it off!"
In fact, Jiang Bin is rather boring, but she likes to talk, so she happens to have a suitable listener.And as soon as he met, he said straight to the point that she was cute, and the two of them could try together.
Feng Mengmeng liked watching those soldiers on TV since she was a child, and Jiang Bin also had a crush on her, so she couldn't be more satisfied.
Originally, she was not happy about this blind date, but after she settled down now, she couldn't think of leaving, thinking that when she went back, she would have to hold her mother and her second aunt and kiss her hard.
Jiang Jinxi was also surprised and pleasantly surprised. After counting, Jiang Bin can be regarded as one of the employees of Dihua International. The world is really small, and you can run into acquaintances just by turning around.
"He's fine, take care of him!"
Feng Mengmeng nodded her head confidently, of course!
Jiang Bin is her future marriage partner, no one can snatch her away!
The two entered the office while talking, but they didn't notice anything wrong, but probably other people saw that Wang Jinzhu was in a bad mood today, and the office was extremely quiet all morning.
Regarding the promotion, everyone also talked about it in private. They were all members of Group A, and no one was stupid enough to say such things under the noses of Wang Jinzhu and Jiang Jinxi.
When she was at work, Jiang Jinxi, like everyone else, either ordered takeaway for lunch together, or ate in the staff cafeteria.
But now Zhao Zhihua doesn't let her eat outside, saying it's more safe to cook at home.
When she got off work at 11:30 noon, the driver at home took Aunt Lan and brought her warm meals, all of which she liked and suitable for eating more during pregnancy.
"Wow, Jinxi, your mother-in-law is so kind to you! She even specially asked someone to bring you meals."
Feng Mengmeng is also a foodie, and she almost stared straight at the delicious dishes.
The two were eating in the restaurant. Jiang Jinxi saw that what she ordered today were all vegetarian dishes, so she took the initiative to push the dishes sent by Aunt Lan. Four dishes and one soup were very rich.
"Let's eat together, I can't finish it by myself."
The chopsticks in Feng Mengmeng's hands were already moving, but she finally retracted them and shook her head resentfully.
"What's wrong? Don't like to eat?"
The two of them had eaten together several times, and Jiang Jinxi remembered that Feng Mengmeng's taste was similar to hers.
Feng Mengmeng put down the chopsticks in her hand, and pinched the soft flesh around her waist through her clothes to show her: "Look, look, it's much longer than before. If I continue to eat, I'll be so depressed. !"
To be honest, Feng Mengmeng is the kind of girl with a small frame. Even if she has a little flesh on her body, she still looks good as long as she is dressed properly. Besides, she has a round face, so she was originally that kind of cute girl. good.
Jiang Jinxi shook her head amusedly, and put a shrimp into her bowl: "Why don't you eat it? Are you still afraid that your partner will dislike you?"
"That's right!" Feng Mengmeng pursed her lips, "Before I saw him the day before yesterday, I thought he had been out of the army for a long time, so he must look like that. But when I saw him, his figure was bigger than the top male model on TV. It's even better! Through the clothes, I seem to be able to see the muscles that make people's blood spurt. And ah..."
She looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to her, so she took Jiang Jinxi's arm and leaned over and said in a low voice: "Also, I checked specifically, the legs are long and the buttocks are up, and the ability in that area must be very good." Strong. If I'm with him at that time, the two of us will definitely be on fire! I have to make a good impression on him, right?"
Long legs and buttocks?
Jiang Jinxi just took a sip of the soup, when she heard her say that meat and vegetables are not taboo, she choked up and coughed while holding her chest.
"Oh, Jinxi, you didn't choke, did you? Are you feeling better? Look at me, I shouldn't have told you this!" Feng Mengmeng hurriedly patted her on the back.
Jiang Jinxi waved her hand to indicate that she was fine, took out a napkin and wiped her mouth, and it took a long time to recover.
"Okay, if you don't eat it, I'll eat it alone."
Avoiding the question of "that aspect", Jiang Jinxi deliberately put all the lunch boxes in front of her again.
Boiled shrimp with garlic, scrambled eggs with okra, colorful diced meat, loofah dumpling soup, and homemade hot and sour kimchi for appetizers...
Feng Mengmeng couldn't help swallowing, thinking about these dishes.
I have been at war with heaven and man in my heart for a long time, and I almost see through my eyes, and the final result is a fiasco of rationality——
She couldn't help stretching out her chopsticks: "Don't worry about it, let's talk about the big thing after finishing today's meal."
Although these dishes have high nutritional value, they look refreshing and have much lower calories than the takeaways she usually eats. It should be fine to eat some.
After Feng Mengmeng comforted herself, she suddenly felt her appetite whetted——
It was only after eating that I realized why Jiang Jinxi didn't eat much outside. Also, there are people with such good craftsmanship at home, who would care about those meals outside?
After eating a full meal, Feng Mengmeng rubbed her stomach and dragged Jiang Jinxi to the shopping mall near the office building.Anyway, I don't clock in until two o'clock in the afternoon, and I don't have anything special today, so I don't need to go there early.
The two of them stayed outside until around 01:30 and came back. There were only three or two colleagues in the office, and most of them hadn't come yet.
Feng Mengmeng poured a cup of lemon tea, and winked at her to be cute: "Jinxi, can I visit your house more often in the future?"
"Are you obsessed with Aunt Lan's cooking?"
After laughing, Jiang Jinxi turned around and went to her bag to get the apple that Gu Zhan specially washed for her this morning before going out.
Ever since he found out that she had a baby, Gu Zhan has become very verbose, as if afraid that she would forget, he has to say one thing several times.When going out in the morning, she was told to remember to eat fruit an hour after lunch.
"Yes, yes! It's not that you don't know, where there is delicious food, there is me!" Feng Mengmeng took a sip of lemon tea from the cup, then put the cup on the table, and sat down on Jiang Jinxi's chair nearby down, "I..."
The unfinished words stopped abruptly, and she suddenly yelled, covering her buttocks with her hands and bouncing off the chair suddenly.
Jiang Jinxi and her colleagues were taken aback, and hurriedly surrounded them one by one: "Mengmeng, what's the matter with you?"
Feng Mengmeng wrinkled her little face from the pain, and pointed at the place where she had just sat: "Jinxi, there is something on your chair!"
Everyone's eyes followed the direction of her finger, and everyone was shocked when they saw it——
On Jiang Jinxi's office chair near the back of the chair, someone inserted several small, shining needles at some point, some of which were embedded in the leather of the chair, and the other small part stood naked outside.
This kind of thin and small needle is hard to find without looking carefully.Besides, basically everyone usually sits down directly, who would take a look at the chair first if they have nothing to do?
This is simply someone trying to harm her on purpose!
Not to mention the lingering fears of other colleagues, Jiang Jinxi's hands were trembling slightly——
She touched her lower abdomen subconsciously. If Mengmeng hadn't accidentally helped her suffer, could it be that she was the one who was pricked by the needle just now?
It would be fine if she was alone, but now she has a child in her belly.Even if these needles can't cause much harm at all, what if she is frightened and affects the child?
Or is there something on those needles?
Suddenly thinking of this episode, her face changed suddenly. Jiang Jinxi couldn't care less about pursuing this matter for the time being, and quickly supported Feng Mengmeng: "Come on, Mengmeng, let me go to the hospital with you first?"
"Woooooooo, I don't want it!" Feng Mengmeng burst into tears.
She hurt her butt, so she didn't want to go to the hospital!
I don't know if there will be any problems with those needles, Jiang Jinxi ignored her objection and directly pulled her out of the magazine.
On the way, when Feng Mengmeng heard that the needle might not be clean, the blood on Feng Mengmeng's face quickly faded at a speed visible to the naked eye, and she let Jiang Jinxi drag her away like a wooden man, unable to utter a word. .
After getting in the car, she lay down in Jiang Jinxi's arms and burst into tears: "Jinxi, I'm fine, right? The needle must have been poisoned, right?"
Jiang Jinxi patted her on the back to comfort her: "Don't talk nonsense, you read too many novels, let's go check it out to be sure."
Feng Mengmeng sniffed: "But it's always played like this on TV!"
Woohoo, she just found a suitable partner. She hasn't been a real woman yet and has no children of her own. She hasn't even enjoyed life yet. She doesn't want to die so young!
The two took a taxi to the nearest city hospital, and Jiang Jinxi carefully pulled out all the small needles on the chair and brought them over for examination.
Fortunately, those were just ordinary needles, and Feng Mengmeng was just poked with a few small holes in her buttocks. Even if she didn't need to take medicine, it would be fine after the pain.
Both of them breathed a sigh of relief, and Feng Mengmeng remembered the matter of settling accounts. She gritted her teeth and said, "We need to call the police, and we must arrest this person!"
Jiang Jinxi was thinking about this all the way, her face tensed: "It's useless to call the police."
Today's incident did not cause her any harm at all. Taking a step back, even if it was poked, it was just a few needles, not to mention fatal, even the most conspicuous injuries could not be seen.Even if the police want to control it, they can't control it.
In fact, after thinking about it for a long time, she couldn't think of who she would offend.
Logically speaking, this person should be someone inside the magazine.
And although she was not too close to her colleagues, she got along well with her colleagues. Except for Lu Yuting before, she had never had any conflicts with others.Now that Lu Yuting has left Mingjiang City, who else would do such a thing?
Jiang Jinxi couldn't figure it out, Feng Mengmeng thought for a long time but couldn't think of anyone who was suspicious,
Intrigue in the office is indispensable, and it has never happened before.
Both of them took a taxi back to the magazine office full of worries.
As for the magazine office, the news about the needle being stuck in the chair spread like a spark after Jiang Jinxi and Feng Mengmeng went to the hospital, and even President Cheng was alarmed.
At first, I thought that even if Jiang Jinxi didn't work here anymore, I could still refer to the previous friendship and ask Gu Zhan for help in the future, but who would have thought that such a thing would happen in the last few days.
Mr. Cheng immediately slapped the table: "Check, find out that person for me immediately!"
There are such dishonest people in his company, it's okay!
It's a pity that there is no security monitoring in the office, and there are many people coming and going, so I can't say who it must be in the end.
Of the suspects, everyone said they were not themselves.
Moreover, they have no grievances with Jiang Jinxi, so there is no need to do such things that harm others and benefit themselves.
After a lot of work, I found nothing.
Mr. Cheng was so angry that he blew his beard and stared, and when he heard that Jiang Jinxi and Feng Mengmeng were back, he hurried over.
"Xiao Jiang, Xiao Feng, how are you? Are you all right?" Mr. Cheng strode over panting, with a concerned expression on his face.
Jiang Jinxi shook her head: "I'm fine, it was Mengmeng who got stuck, but luckily nothing happened."
"It's good that nothing happened!" Fortunately, Jiang Jinxi didn't have an accident on his site, Mr. Cheng finally let go of his restless heart, and looked at Feng Mengmeng with a lot of appreciation, "Little Feng has suffered this time! I will raise your salary later, with a monthly increase of 20.00%!"
Feng Mengmeng's eyes lit up. She has been working at the magazine for several years, and Mr. Cheng is so picky. This is the first time she has raised money!Thinking about it this way, she felt that it was worth getting stabbed a few times today. Anyway, she has thick skin, and she will be fine in a while!
Originally, when this happened, Mr. Cheng thought that Jiang Jinxi should not come, but last Friday he was negotiating a cooperation with Jinshang, and the dinner was set for this Wednesday night, and the other party specified that Jiang Jinxi would not come. Jinxi is a friend, and I want her to go with her when the time comes.
The implication is that this cooperation can only be negotiated if Jiang Jinxi comes forward.
Mr. Cheng thought that it was just eating and eating, and nothing would happen if he was still there, not to mention that both of them were friends, so he agreed on his own initiative.
He called Jiang Jinxi to the office alone, explained the matter to her clearly, and hoped that she could do one last favor.
As soon as Jinshang was mentioned, Jiang Jinxi thought of the He family.
Mr. Cheng said that person was her friend. Could it be because Mr. He recognized her as his granddaughter before?
Is it He Beicheng who wants to see her?
Mushang is Jiang Jinxi's first official job in her life, and she has indeed learned a lot in it, so naturally she will not shirk if she can help her.
"But, Mr. Cheng, is it just an ordinary dinner?"
Mr. Cheng was stunned for a moment, and immediately thought of what she was worried about, so he quickly explained: "Don't worry about this, we just have a meal together, let's talk about cooperation, and there will be nothing else. Let editor-in-chief Wang and Xiao Feng go together, nothing else will happen."
Gu Zhan's woman, how dare he let her go to such a messy dinner?
Jiang Jinxi thought for a while, then nodded in response.
After going back, they heard a lot of noise in the office of their group A from a long distance outside the door. It was a few colleagues in group B who quarreled with Wang Jinzhu and Feng Mengmeng.
As soon as she saw Jiang Jinxi coming, Huang Xi, the colleague from Group B who had taunted Wang Jinzhu at the door of the tea room this morning, rushed to her immediately: "Then, the real master has come! We came here today to remind you kindly!"
As he spoke, he glanced sideways at Wang Jinzhu, and sneered coldly: "It's best to keep your eyes wide open. Don't think she's a good person when you get hurt by someone!"
"You're talking nonsense!" Feng Mengmeng blushed with anger, pointed at her nose and retorted, "It can't be Editor Wang! I think it's you, who doesn't know about you and Mr. Cheng? No I just wanted to follow Lu Yuting's example and transferred to Team A as the editor-in-chief, didn't it work? I think you did it, and then you shouted "Stop the thief!"
Huang Xi didn't bother to break up with her, so he just put his arms around his chest and raised his chin towards Jiang Jinxi: "It doesn't matter if you believe it or not, anyway, we didn't lie! There are people whose hearts are higher than the sky, but it's a pity that life is better than life." Paper thin! Even though she doesn't have that ability, she still takes it for granted that everything should belong to her."
Although Huang Xi was standing in front of Jiang Jinxi when he said this, a pair of contemptuous eyes glanced at Wang Jinzhu who was silent at the side from time to time.
In fact, no one saw with their own eyes that Wang Jinzhu did it, but it just so happened that they didn't believe it. She must have been stimulated by what they said in the morning!
After Huang Xi and the others left, Wang Jinzhu stepped forward expressionlessly, looked at Jiang Jinxi and said word by word: "This matter has nothing to do with me. I went out to eat with Lin Mei at noon. After we come back, you and Meng Meng has already gone to the hospital."
When she spoke, her eyes didn't dodge in any way, no matter who read it, she would have to believe it.
Lin Mei also stepped forward to agree, and even raised three fingers: "I can swear, the editor-in-chief and I have been together from get off work at noon until we come back in the afternoon. It can't be her."
Jiang Jinxi reluctantly pulled her lips, nodded and hummed.
Maybe it was Wang Jinzhu, or maybe, as Mengmeng said just now, it was Huang Xi who wanted to stir up the infighting in their group A.
In short, Jiang Jinxi didn't believe anyone.
For the next two days, the magazine office was peaceful.
When it came to the dinner on Wednesday night, Jiang Jinxi finally persuaded Gu Zhan to let her participate.
But unexpectedly, what she saw was not He Beicheng, but He Lifeng who had just returned to He's house.
Moreover, the seats of the two at the dinner table were just arranged together.
At that time, seeing that she was silent, He Lifeng raised his eyebrows and smiled, and said, "Why? Don't you know me?"
But in less than a month, Jiang Jinxi really felt that the person in front of him seemed to be a different person——
It's not that what you wear on your body has changed, but how you feel from the inside out.There was a frivolity between his brows.
The way he looked at her made her feel uncomfortable for no reason.
Jiang Jinxi avoided his gaze, and the corners of her mouth curled slightly: "Didn't you go back to Jiangbei?"
She and Gu Zhan also received a call from Mr. He two days ago, asking them to go to Jiangbei to attend a banquet specially held for He Lifeng next month.
He Lifeng shrugged his shoulders: "You know, I stopped studying after high school, and I'm not suitable for a political career like the rest of the family. Grandpa asked me to follow my elder brother to work in Jinshang, replacing my second uncle. Position. The cooperation with Mushang this time is the first cooperation project that my elder brother asked me to do."
Jiang Jinxi nodded thoughtfully: "Doing business is also very good."
He Lifeng curled his lips into a smile, but the smile didn't reach his eyes: "It's not bad! I just stayed in Jiangbei to be bored, so I came here for a while. By the way, is the community we lived in when we were young still there? Let’s go and have a look together when you have time!”
While speaking, his body deliberately leaned forward, Jiang Jin frowned, and retreated uncomfortably, almost knocking over the cup on the table.
He Lifeng quickly supported her, but he didn't know whether it was by accident or on purpose, his fingertips slid across the back of her hand.
But when Jiang Jinxi looked at him again, she didn't find anything wrong.
Maybe I think too much?
Jiang Jinxi felt a little regretful that she shouldn't have promised Mr. Cheng to attend the dinner.
During the dinner, He Lifeng and Mr. Cheng chatted happily over a glass of wine.
When I looked sideways at Jiang Jinxi, I saw that she seldom moved her chopsticks, so I used my own to pick up a chopstick and put it in her bowl: "Why don't you eat?"
Jiang Jinxi looked towards He Lifeng, her eyes were already faintly angry——
What the hell does this guy mean?
He clearly knew that she and Gu Zhan were married, and they were also brothers and sisters in name.
No matter what the reason is, he shouldn't be acting so ambiguous on purpose.
Jiang Jinxi didn't move her chopsticks and ignored him, the atmosphere seemed to freeze suddenly.
"Sister Xixi, don't you like to eat?" The expression on He Lifeng's face was already a bit ugly.
Jiang Jinxi got up: "I'm sorry, I don't feel well, I have to go back first."
At that time, Wang Jinzhu, whose eyes had been rolling around the two of them, suddenly poured a glass of wine, and quickly pulled him back to persuade him, "Jinxi, congratulate the manager with a drink, don't lose your temper."
Feng Mengmeng, who was sitting next to her, stopped her in a low voice: "Editor, did you forget? Didn't you ask me about Jinxi's pregnancy before? She can't drink now!"
Jiang Jinxi used to have a drink with everyone at gatherings, Feng Mengmeng only thought that Wang Jinzhu had forgotten about her pregnancy, and it was purely for the sake of enlivening the atmosphere and resolving the embarrassment between He Lifeng and Jinxi.
A trace of guilt flashed across his face, and Wang Jinzhu shyly withdrew his hand holding the wine glass: "I'm sorry, I really forgot."
He Lifeng didn't take it seriously, he also stood up, poured a glass of wine to Jiang Jinxi from the glass he had just drank, and said, "Sister Xixi, after drinking this glass, how about this cooperation deal being settled like this? "
There was a smirk on the corner of his mouth, and he looked at Jiang Jinxi without blinking.
Jiang Jinxi stared into his eyes for a while, then lowered her gaze to the glass of wine he had drunk, suddenly bent her lips, and raised her hand to take it.
He Lifeng watched with a smile, waiting for her to drink.
Just caught off guard, the glass of wine was poured on his face intact.
Splashing hot on the face is more of a feeling of humiliation.
"Jiang Jinxi!"
Raising his hand indiscriminately and wiped it on his face, He Lifeng gritted his teeth and almost squeezed out her name word by word.
Mr. Cheng and the others were already stunned, but Jiang Jinxi laughed instead: "He Lifeng, is it fun? You deliberately want to use me to annoy Gu Zhan and cause trouble for the He family?"
"I do not know what you're talking about!"
His little thought was exposed, He Lifeng beat him to death and refused to admit it.
Jiang Jinxi didn't bother to care about him: "Enough is enough! Mr. He and the He family are ashamed of you, but if you lose this goodwill, you will be the one who will suffer!"
(End of this chapter)
Regarding the matter of resignation, although Mr. Cheng tried to persuade him to stay, Jiang Jinxi made up his mind and finally handed in a letter of resignation.
"Hey, I finally met a caring friend, but you have to leave again." Feng Mengmeng held Jiang Jinxi's arm and sighed with her mouth flattened as she walked.
Jiang Jinxi looked at her with a smile: "If you want me, you can ask me out at any time! And I just agreed with Mr. Cheng that we will finish the last week of this month before leaving. By the way, you went on a blind date the day before yesterday. How does that go?"
Hearing Jiang Jinxi mention this, Feng Mengmeng, who was always carefree, blushed and began to hesitate: "That's...that's it!"
"That's it?" Jiang Jinxi knew that she was probably good when she saw her appearance, so she deliberately joked, "What is it like that? Will it work out in the end?"
Feng Mengmeng lowered her head and muttered: "Just try it first, that guy is pretty good, he said he is very satisfied with me, and we are trying to date now."
Feng Mengmeng said it was pretty good, most of the time she should be very satisfied, Jiang Jinxi doesn't have many friends, she is definitely one of the better friends, seeing her find a good partner, she is also happy for her.
"If you are satisfied, then get along well, and you can get married if you are suitable."
Feng Mengmeng pursed her lips and kept nodding, and finally seemed to think of something, and suddenly raised her head and winked at Jiang Jinxi, "Actually, you also know that person!"
"I know you too?" Jiang Jinxi frowned slightly and searched carefully in her mind.
Apart from Gu Zhan, the only people she and Feng Mengmeng knew together were colleagues from the magazine, right?
"Could it be... someone from the magazine?"
"Jiang Bin! It's the person who saved you in front of the office building last time. Have you forgotten?" Feng Mengmeng smiled with the corners of her mouth curled up, her face full of admiration, "No wonder he's so nimble, just like a He looks like a cheetah, so he used to be a top special soldier!

Jiang Jinxi was also surprised and pleasantly surprised. After counting, Jiang Bin can be regarded as one of the employees of Dihua International. The world is really small, and you can run into acquaintances just by turning around.
"He's fine, take care of him!"
Feng Mengmeng nodded her head confidently, of course!
Jiang Bin is her future marriage partner, no one can snatch her away!
The two entered the office while talking, but they didn't notice anything wrong, but probably other people saw that Wang Jinzhu was in a bad mood today, and the office was extremely quiet all morning.

Boiled shrimp with garlic, scrambled eggs with okra, colorful diced meat, loofah dumpling soup, and homemade hot and sour kimchi for appetizers...
Feng Mengmeng couldn't help swallowing, thinking about these dishes.
I have been at war with heaven and man in my heart for a long time, and I almost see through my eyes, and the final result is a fiasco of rationality——

Ever since he found out that she had a baby, Gu Zhan has become very verbose, as if afraid that she would forget, he has to say one thing several times.When going out in the morning, she was told to remember to eat fruit an hour after lunch.
"Yes, yes! It's not that you don't know, where there is delicious food, there is me!" Feng Mengmeng took a sip of lemon tea from the cup, then put the cup on the table, and sat down on Jiang Jinxi's chair nearby down, "I..."
The unfinished words stopped abruptly, and she suddenly yelled, covering her buttocks with her hands and bouncing off the chair suddenly.
Jiang Jinxi and her colleagues were taken aback, and hurriedly surrounded them one by one: "Mengmeng, what's the matter with you?"
Feng Mengmeng wrinkled her little face from the pain, and pointed at the place where she had just sat: "Jinxi, there is something on your chair!"
Everyone's eyes followed the direction of her finger, and everyone was shocked when they saw it——
On Jiang Jinxi's office chair near the back of the chair, someone inserted several small, shining needles at some point, some of which were embedded in the leather of the chair, and the other small part stood naked outside.
This kind of thin and small needle is hard to find without looking carefully.Besides, basically everyone usually sits down directly, who would take a look at the chair first if they have nothing to do?
This is simply someone trying to harm her on purpose!
Not to mention the lingering fears of other colleagues, Jiang Jinxi's hands were trembling slightly——
She touched her lower abdomen subconsciously. If Mengmeng hadn't accidentally helped her suffer, could it be that she was the one who was pricked by the needle just now?
It would be fine if she was alone, but now she has a child in her belly.Even if these needles can't cause much harm at all, what if she is frightened and affects the child?
Or is there something on those needles?
Suddenly thinking of this episode, her face changed suddenly. Jiang Jinxi couldn't care less about pursuing this matter for the time being, and quickly supported Feng Mengmeng: "Come on, Mengmeng, let me go to the hospital with you first?"
"Woooooooo, I don't want it!" Feng Mengmeng burst into tears.
She hurt her butt, so she didn't want to go to the hospital!
I don't know if there will be any problems with those needles, Jiang Jinxi ignored her objection and directly pulled her out of the magazine.
On the way, when Feng Mengmeng heard that the needle might not be clean, the blood on Feng Mengmeng's face quickly faded at a speed visible to the naked eye, and she let Jiang Jinxi drag her away like a wooden man, unable to utter a word. .
After getting in the car, she lay down in Jiang Jinxi's arms and burst into tears: "Jinxi, I'm fine, right? The needle must have been poisoned, right?"
Jiang Jinxi patted her on the back to comfort her: "Don't talk nonsense, you read too many novels, let's go check it out to be sure."
Feng Mengmeng sniffed: "But it's always played like this on TV!"
Woohoo, she just found a suitable partner. She hasn't been a real woman yet and has no children of her own. She hasn't even enjoyed life yet. She doesn't want to die so young!
The two took a taxi to the nearest city hospital, and Jiang Jinxi carefully pulled out all the small needles on the chair and brought them over for examination.
Fortunately, those were just ordinary needles, and Feng Mengmeng was just poked with a few small holes in her buttocks. Even if she didn't need to take medicine, it would be fine after the pain.
Both of them breathed a sigh of relief, and Feng Mengmeng remembered the matter of settling accounts. She gritted her teeth and said, "We need to call the police, and we must arrest this person!"
Jiang Jinxi was thinking about this all the way, her face tensed: "It's useless to call the police."
Today's incident did not cause her any harm at all. Taking a step back, even if it was poked, it was just a few needles, not to mention fatal, even the most conspicuous injuries could not be seen.Even if the police want to control it, they can't control it.
In fact, after thinking about it for a long time, she couldn't think of who she would offend.
Logically speaking, this person should be someone inside the magazine.
And although she was not too close to her colleagues, she got along well with her colleagues. Except for Lu Yuting before, she had never had any conflicts with others.Now that Lu Yuting has left Mingjiang City, who else would do such a thing?
Jiang Jinxi couldn't figure it out, Feng Mengmeng thought for a long time but couldn't think of anyone who was suspicious,
Intrigue in the office is indispensable, and it has never happened before.
Both of them took a taxi back to the magazine office full of worries.
As for the magazine office, the news about the needle being stuck in the chair spread like a spark after Jiang Jinxi and Feng Mengmeng went to the hospital, and even President Cheng was alarmed.
At first, I thought that even if Jiang Jinxi didn't work here anymore, I could still refer to the previous friendship and ask Gu Zhan for help in the future, but who would have thought that such a thing would happen in the last few days.
Mr. Cheng immediately slapped the table: "Check, find out that person for me immediately!"
There are such dishonest people in his company, it's okay!
It's a pity that there is no security monitoring in the office, and there are many people coming and going, so I can't say who it must be in the end.
Of the suspects, everyone said they were not themselves.
Moreover, they have no grievances with Jiang Jinxi, so there is no need to do such things that harm others and benefit themselves.
After a lot of work, I found nothing.
Mr. Cheng was so angry that he blew his beard and stared, and when he heard that Jiang Jinxi and Feng Mengmeng were back, he hurried over.
"Xiao Jiang, Xiao Feng, how are you? Are you all right?" Mr. Cheng strode over panting, with a concerned expression on his face.
Jiang Jinxi shook her head: "I'm fine, it was Mengmeng who got stuck, but luckily nothing happened."
"It's good that nothing happened!" Fortunately, Jiang Jinxi didn't have an accident on his site, Mr. Cheng finally let go of his restless heart, and looked at Feng Mengmeng with a lot of appreciation, "Little Feng has suffered this time! I will raise your salary later, with a monthly increase of 20.00%!"
Feng Mengmeng's eyes lit up. She has been working at the magazine for several years, and Mr. Cheng is so picky. This is the first time she has raised money!Thinking about it this way, she felt that it was worth getting stabbed a few times today. Anyway, she has thick skin, and she will be fine in a while!
Originally, when this happened, Mr. Cheng thought that Jiang Jinxi should not come, but last Friday he was negotiating a cooperation with Jinshang, and the dinner was set for this Wednesday night, and the other party specified that Jiang Jinxi would not come. Jinxi is a friend, and I want her to go with her when the time comes.
The implication is that this cooperation can only be negotiated if Jiang Jinxi comes forward.
Mr. Cheng thought that it was just eating and eating, and nothing would happen if he was still there, not to mention that both of them were friends, so he agreed on his own initiative.
He called Jiang Jinxi to the office alone, explained the matter to her clearly, and hoped that she could do one last favor.
As soon as Jinshang was mentioned, Jiang Jinxi thought of the He family.
Mr. Cheng said that person was her friend. Could it be because Mr. He recognized her as his granddaughter before?
Is it He Beicheng who wants to see her?
Mushang is Jiang Jinxi's first official job in her life, and she has indeed learned a lot in it, so naturally she will not shirk if she can help her.
"But, Mr. Cheng, is it just an ordinary dinner?"
Mr. Cheng was stunned for a moment, and immediately thought of what she was worried about, so he quickly explained: "Don't worry about this, we just have a meal together, let's talk about cooperation, and there will be nothing else. Let editor-in-chief Wang and Xiao Feng go together, nothing else will happen."
Gu Zhan's woman, how dare he let her go to such a messy dinner?
Jiang Jinxi thought for a while, then nodded in response.
After going back, they heard a lot of noise in the office of their group A from a long distance outside the door. It was a few colleagues in group B who quarreled with Wang Jinzhu and Feng Mengmeng.
As soon as she saw Jiang Jinxi coming, Huang Xi, the colleague from Group B who had taunted Wang Jinzhu at the door of the tea room this morning, rushed to her immediately: "Then, the real master has come! We came here today to remind you kindly!"
As he spoke, he glanced sideways at Wang Jinzhu, and sneered coldly: "It's best to keep your eyes wide open. Don't think she's a good person when you get hurt by someone!"
"You're talking nonsense!" Feng Mengmeng blushed with anger, pointed at her nose and retorted, "It can't be Editor Wang! I think it's you, who doesn't know about you and Mr. Cheng? No I just wanted to follow Lu Yuting's example and transferred to Team A as the editor-in-chief, didn't it work? I think you did it, and then you shouted "Stop the thief!"
Huang Xi didn't bother to break up with her, so he just put his arms around his chest and raised his chin towards Jiang Jinxi: "It doesn't matter if you believe it or not, anyway, we didn't lie! There are people whose hearts are higher than the sky, but it's a pity that life is better than life." Paper thin! Even though she doesn't have that ability, she still takes it for granted that everything should belong to her."
Although Huang Xi was standing in front of Jiang Jinxi when he said this, a pair of contemptuous eyes glanced at Wang Jinzhu who was silent at the side from time to time.
In fact, no one saw with their own eyes that Wang Jinzhu did it, but it just so happened that they didn't believe it. She must have been stimulated by what they said in the morning!
After Huang Xi and the others left, Wang Jinzhu stepped forward expressionlessly, looked at Jiang Jinxi and said word by word: "This matter has nothing to do with me. I went out to eat with Lin Mei at noon. After we come back, you and Meng Meng has already gone to the hospital."
When she spoke, her eyes didn't dodge in any way, no matter who read it, she would have to believe it.
Lin Mei also stepped forward to agree, and even raised three fingers: "I can swear, the editor-in-chief and I have been together from get off work at noon until we come back in the afternoon. It can't be her."
Jiang Jinxi reluctantly pulled her lips, nodded and hummed.
Maybe it was Wang Jinzhu, or maybe, as Mengmeng said just now, it was Huang Xi who wanted to stir up the infighting in their group A.
In short, Jiang Jinxi didn't believe anyone.
For the next two days, the magazine office was peaceful.
When it came to the dinner on Wednesday night, Jiang Jinxi finally persuaded Gu Zhan to let her participate.
But unexpectedly, what she saw was not He Beicheng, but He Lifeng who had just returned to He's house.
Moreover, the seats of the two at the dinner table were just arranged together.
At that time, seeing that she was silent, He Lifeng raised his eyebrows and smiled, and said, "Why? Don't you know me?"
But in less than a month, Jiang Jinxi really felt that the person in front of him seemed to be a different person——
It's not that what you wear on your body has changed, but how you feel from the inside out.There was a frivolity between his brows.
The way he looked at her made her feel uncomfortable for no reason.
Jiang Jinxi avoided his gaze, and the corners of her mouth curled slightly: "Didn't you go back to Jiangbei?"
She and Gu Zhan also received a call from Mr. He two days ago, asking them to go to Jiangbei to attend a banquet specially held for He Lifeng next month.
He Lifeng shrugged his shoulders: "You know, I stopped studying after high school, and I'm not suitable for a political career like the rest of the family. Grandpa asked me to follow my elder brother to work in Jinshang, replacing my second uncle. Position. The cooperation with Mushang this time is the first cooperation project that my elder brother asked me to do."
Jiang Jinxi nodded thoughtfully: "Doing business is also very good."
He Lifeng curled his lips into a smile, but the smile didn't reach his eyes: "It's not bad! I just stayed in Jiangbei to be bored, so I came here for a while. By the way, is the community we lived in when we were young still there? Let’s go and have a look together when you have time!”
While speaking, his body deliberately leaned forward, Jiang Jin frowned, and retreated uncomfortably, almost knocking over the cup on the table.
He Lifeng quickly supported her, but he didn't know whether it was by accident or on purpose, his fingertips slid across the back of her hand.
But when Jiang Jinxi looked at him again, she didn't find anything wrong.
Maybe I think too much?
Jiang Jinxi felt a little regretful that she shouldn't have promised Mr. Cheng to attend the dinner.
During the dinner, He Lifeng and Mr. Cheng chatted happily over a glass of wine.
When I looked sideways at Jiang Jinxi, I saw that she seldom moved her chopsticks, so I used my own to pick up a chopstick and put it in her bowl: "Why don't you eat?"
Jiang Jinxi looked towards He Lifeng, her eyes were already faintly angry——
What the hell does this guy mean?
He clearly knew that she and Gu Zhan were married, and they were also brothers and sisters in name.
No matter what the reason is, he shouldn't be acting so ambiguous on purpose.
Jiang Jinxi didn't move her chopsticks and ignored him, the atmosphere seemed to freeze suddenly.
"Sister Xixi, don't you like to eat?" The expression on He Lifeng's face was already a bit ugly.
Jiang Jinxi got up: "I'm sorry, I don't feel well, I have to go back first."
At that time, Wang Jinzhu, whose eyes had been rolling around the two of them, suddenly poured a glass of wine, and quickly pulled him back to persuade him, "Jinxi, congratulate the manager with a drink, don't lose your temper."
Feng Mengmeng, who was sitting next to her, stopped her in a low voice: "Editor, did you forget? Didn't you ask me about Jinxi's pregnancy before? She can't drink now!"
Jiang Jinxi used to have a drink with everyone at gatherings, Feng Mengmeng only thought that Wang Jinzhu had forgotten about her pregnancy, and it was purely for the sake of enlivening the atmosphere and resolving the embarrassment between He Lifeng and Jinxi.
A trace of guilt flashed across his face, and Wang Jinzhu shyly withdrew his hand holding the wine glass: "I'm sorry, I really forgot."
He Lifeng didn't take it seriously, he also stood up, poured a glass of wine to Jiang Jinxi from the glass he had just drank, and said, "Sister Xixi, after drinking this glass, how about this cooperation deal being settled like this? "
There was a smirk on the corner of his mouth, and he looked at Jiang Jinxi without blinking.
Jiang Jinxi stared into his eyes for a while, then lowered her gaze to the glass of wine he had drunk, suddenly bent her lips, and raised her hand to take it.
He Lifeng watched with a smile, waiting for her to drink.
Just caught off guard, the glass of wine was poured on his face intact.
Splashing hot on the face is more of a feeling of humiliation.
"Jiang Jinxi!"
Raising his hand indiscriminately and wiped it on his face, He Lifeng gritted his teeth and almost squeezed out her name word by word.
Mr. Cheng and the others were already stunned, but Jiang Jinxi laughed instead: "He Lifeng, is it fun? You deliberately want to use me to annoy Gu Zhan and cause trouble for the He family?"
"I do not know what you're talking about!"
His little thought was exposed, He Lifeng beat him to death and refused to admit it.
Jiang Jinxi didn't bother to care about him: "Enough is enough! Mr. He and the He family are ashamed of you, but if you lose this goodwill, you will be the one who will suffer!"
