Sisterhood, let's go

Chapter 38

"I'll make a call first."

Miss Yingbin was still waiting, Lin Ziqiao walked a few steps aside, picked up the phone and called Chen Liangyue.She had to ask clearly first, otherwise it would be extremely rude to break into someone else's birthday party.

"Anita, have you arrived yet?"

Chen Liang said it was connected almost immediately. The place where Lin Ziqiao was standing was the only way to get in and out of the hotel. There were people coming and going around her, and the voices were noisy. She raised her voice slightly and said, "I've arrived. Lobby, but—" Before she could explain it clearly to him, someone bumped into her from behind, and the phone in her hand flew straight out, and slid against the ground to a person's feet.

At that moment, time seemed to stop beating.

She felt that the noisy voices around her were all quieted down.

She watched the man bent down as if in a daze, and picked up her phone from the ground with his bony fingers.Black leather shoes, straight trousers, when he bent down to pick up her phone, the cuffs of the white shirt were exposed.Then, like that night two years ago, he walked out of the castle wearing the luxury of a prince, and approached her step by step across the crowd.

Lin Ziqiao's eyes instantly filled with heat.

Meng Qingxi came back, without any warning or warning, he came back!

His appearance has hardly changed, but at the age of 25, he has lost his youthfulness and revealed the spirit of an adult man.When he put on a tailor-made dress and appeared confidently and calmly at the crowded banquet, all the halos were concentrated on him.

The two years of longing suddenly burst the embankment, like a torrential flood, violently impacting Lin Ziqiao's emotions.

She missed him, really thinking about him, to the point where she was tormented day and night, wishing she could buy a plane ticket to fly to Britain and take a sneak peek at him.They would meet again under such circumstances, she had no psychological defense at all, she could only stand there with a blank mind, motionless, waiting for him to approach.She was sure he would miss her just as much, and they would both be drowning in the wild joy of this reunion together.

In just a few steps, Meng Qingxi seemed to be walking from thousands of mountains and rivers.

Chen Liangyue's voice came from the phone, "Anita, don't hang up or walk away, I'll come down to pick you up right away."

"The quality of the mobile phone is very good, and it can still talk when it is dropped on the ground."

Meng Qingxi stopped in front of her and handed the phone back to her.Lin Ziqiao instinctively reached out to take it, and then waited for him to speak again, but what she didn't expect at all was that he raised the corners of his lips towards her, showing a beautiful smile, and then turned around and left!

Several well-dressed descendants of the aristocratic family were still waiting at the same place, Meng Qingxi walked back and accompanied them into the banquet hall.Lin Ziqiao stood where she was, and found that her intelligence was not enough. She had no way to understand what was going on in front of her.

Meng Qingxi actually left her behind like this? !
She hurriedly wanted to catch up with him, but the crowd opened and closed, and all the guests had already blocked his figure.

This world is fantasy, she can't be dreaming.

Lin Ziqiao lowered her head to look at her mobile phone, which had already displayed the page to end the call.

Chen Liangyue was reminding her not to hang up the phone just now.

The thoughts that had been drifting all over the sky finally came back together. The phone was cut off by Meng Qingxi. This kid used to dislike her having contact with Chen Liangyue the most. There were too many guests present, maybe Meng Tianwang was looking at them from a certain position , so he couldn't share the joy of reunion with her in this place, he could only pretend to meet by chance and then turned around and left.

He came back from Britain, why didn't he come to her?
She made an agreement with him that she would not meet or contact him until Meng Tianwang agreed.He really worked really hard to do that, and even when he met on such an occasion, he was able to control his feelings and not show his flaws.Lin Ziqiao suddenly felt a bitter taste rising up, which was obviously the result she wanted, but when Meng Qingxi did it, she felt very uncomfortable.

It was as if something precious in Meng Qingxi had been strangled abruptly.

Will all his enthusiasm and willfulness be gone?

The only thing that warmed her heart was that Meng Qingxi cut off Chen Liangyue's phone, and he would easily become jealous because of this person. Even after two years, his whole person had changed, but his attitude still remained the same.Lin Ziqiao exited the hotel lobby, she needed some time and space to calm down.

Thinking of Meng Qingxi who was abroad alone, concentrating on studying business management courses, and working hard for their future, her whole heart was filled with sourness and emotion.

She will wait for him, even when she is 50 years old.

"Anita, I searched for you."

Chen Liangyue finally came over, "Lily didn't tell you clearly that the reservation is for the restaurant in the south building, you should take the elevator on the right wing."

Lin Ziqiao was glad that it took him so long to find her, otherwise she would still be caught in the agitation of meeting Meng Qingxi, not knowing how to deal with him.The two walked into the elevator, Chen Liangri stretched out his hand to hold her, Lin Ziqiao raised his head defensively, he looked at her and smiled. "Tonight's dinner was arranged by Lily, and some family members were present. Can you cooperate with me a little bit? Otherwise, it would be very uncomfortable to be questioned about your relationship every day."

"How do you want me to cooperate?"

Lin Ziqiao had turned from one head to two big ones. The relationship between them was already embarrassing enough. Chen Liangyue wanted to use her as a shield. Did he do it on purpose?She wanted to refuse, but Chen Liangyue's body approached, with smiles in his eyes.She realized right away that if she said no, he would have kissed her in the elevator.No matter how elegant he is, he is still a businessman after all, and calculation is an instinct in his body.

She almost blurted out, "I promise to help you!"

The door of the private room was pushed open, and Lin Ziqiao finally understood how understatement Chen Liangyue said of "cooperate a little bit".

Are all the important relatives of their Chen family present?Uncles, aunts, uncles, aunts, aunts, aunts, she was held by him to enter the door, and everyone's eyes turned to look at her. At that moment, she impulsively hoped that she could grow wings and become Peter Pan from the tall building. The windows fly away.If Chen Manli had explained the situation to her clearly, even if she had a gun pointed at her back, she would not have come over for the meal.

"Sorry, there's a traffic jam on the road, I'm late."

Even though there were 1 reluctances in her heart, Lin Ziqiao still maintained her superficial politeness.She treats everyone in front of her as a business client.Chen Manli walked over from her seat, pushed her brother away with a smile on her face, and pushed her to sit next to her parents' seat. "Sister Lin is a strong woman and has her own business management consulting company, so she is very busy every day."

Lin Ziqiao kicked her under the table, can this young lady give her a little bit?

Isn't she really someone from her brother, is she worthy of introducing her to relatives in such a proud tone?Chen Manli was kicked by her, her face twitched in pain, but she couldn't open her mouth to cry out.Chen Liang said that he pulled out the chair and sat down beside Lin Ziqiao. He obviously saw his sister being kicked, but he just smiled and didn't speak.

"Miss Lin, you are so young and beautiful, you never thought you already have your own company."

The relatives of the Chen family praised Lin Ziqiao unanimously.

Even Chen Liangyue's mother held her hand, with an expression on her face that she was a future daughter-in-law.

"Auntie has been awarded."

Lin Ziqiao responded in embarrassment, her face was on fire.And Chen Manli seemed to think that she was not good-looking enough, so she continued to stir up trouble beside her. "Sister Lin, my brother said that you are going to meet with a client today. The other party is the general manager of Jiangnan Group. They are talking about the cooperation plan for the whole year. You are really capable."

This young lady went to Citigroup to major in drama, right?

Otherwise, she just came back from working with the CIA, otherwise how could she know everything about her itinerary?Lin Ziqiao smiled at Chen's mother: "Auntie, today's protagonist is Manli, don't always focus on me. How about letting her talk about what she has seen and heard abroad?"

"Okay, Lily, just tell me."

Mother Chen nodded bluntly, the elders of the Chen family are actually very easy to get along with.Lin Ziqiao diverted everyone's attention, while Chen Liangyue beside him sat down, lit a cigarette, and smoked quietly.She thumped in her heart, calculating that she should be happy, why did he still show such a melancholy and deep look?What is he thinking?
After a long meal, Lin Ziqiao finally finished the task with difficulty.

When the group got down to the parking lot, Chen Liangyue's mother held her hand before getting into the car, "Miss Lin, come to our house to play more when you have time."

"Auntie, take care."

Lin Ziqiao let out a sigh of relief after sending her to the car.

"Anita, let's find a place to talk."

The relatives of the Chen family left by car, even Chen Manli left, and only Chen Liangyue stayed.

Lin Ziqiao felt that she and Chen Liangri really couldn't procrastinate like this any longer, they needed to have a serious talk, if it came to the point of no choice, she could only abandon him as a friend and never contact him again.The night wind blows from the river, and the river bay is as beautiful as a scattered galaxy.Lin Ziqiao leaned on the railing, thinking that the last time she talked with Chen Liangyue here, it was she and Meng Qingxi who had just finished arguing, and then drove fast on the road to vent their anger, and finally ran into him at this place.

Like a white horse passing through the gap, like a purple electric blue frost, time flies like running water.

"We've known each other for more than three years."

Chen Liang said while smoking a cigarette, Lin Ziqiao believed that he, like her, had a sigh for time at this time.In her memory, he was already on the third or fourth cigarette tonight, and she frowned and said, "Liang Yue, don't smoke too much, it's not good for your health."

"it is good."

He casually pinched the cigarette butt in his hand, "Lily arranged for relatives to come over tonight, and I actually knew about it beforehand."

Lin Ziqiao turned her head to stare at him, knowing that she didn't remind her, she was really not enough friends.

Chen Liang said with a wry smile in his eyes, "I've been observing you all night, which proved one thing. You used to have feelings for me, but now it's gone."

Shouldn't he have known about this a long time ago?

Lin Ziqiao waited for him to continue speaking, wondering why he suddenly figured it out tonight.

"Lily grew up and taught my brother how to deal with relationship problems. Anita, I think I'll try to date other people."

It turned out that their brothers and sisters had conspired together.

Lin Ziqiao felt a little uncomfortable in her heart. Once some people miss it, they really can't look back.Chen Liangyue is quite a person worthy of dating, but it is a pity that they met at the right time, but did not make the right efforts, and then turned back after walking through the flowers, it is no longer possible to have an emotional intersection.

Chen Manli has also matured.

Two years ago, she and Chen Liangri accompanied her to the hospital. After the abortion operation, she came out with a pale face, and cried bitterly in her brother's arms.Life is too short to always let yesterday's lessons affect future life, she has already stepped out of that shadow.

Lin Ziqiao hugged Chen Liangyue emotionally, "I will contact you when I have time, we will always be friends."

Chen Liangri patted her on the shoulder, "I hope you will be the first to think of me when you are in trouble."

Meng Qingxi came back from further study abroad, and almost immediately took over the subsidiary company of "Tianwang" Group as the general manager.Meng Tianwang seems to like to use this method of sending to the grassroots to train his successors. When Yang Weizhou returned to China, he was treated the same as Meng Qingxi.It's just that he took over a company that was already on the right track, but it was Meng Qingxi's turn to face a company that had just started and was still in its infancy.

If he wants to make achievements, he will work harder than Yang Weizhou.

Even if they don't meet or contact each other, Lin Ziqiao still has a channel to know about Meng Qingxi's recent situation.

In her office, she secretly flipped through the newly bought financial magazines.

Although the magazine's reports were inaccurate, and the interview was edited by the reporter, it could still be seen that Meng Qingxi was very clear about the direction of his business. If he couldn't make the company the top three in the industry, it would be impossible to achieve profitability. In this regard, he still has the true biography of his grandfather.

"Anita, what are you looking at?"

Just when he was fascinated and wanted to smile knowingly, Yuan Lang suddenly popped up beside him.Lin Ziqiao was so frightened that she jumped up, and almost immediately opened the drawer and stuffed the magazine in.

"You want to scare me to death, don't you?"

"You don't read adult magazines during working hours, do you?"

Yuan Lang looked at her with sympathetic eyes, "It's normal for you to feel empty without a man by your side, but unfortunately I'm not interested in women, otherwise I would be willing to lend my body to satisfy you."

"Go to hell you!"

Lin Ziqiao picked up the folder on the table and hit him, "A dog's mouth can't spit out ivory."

Yuan Lang laughed, "It's not something shameful to read Xiaoxi's interviews and reports. If you want to read it, you can watch it openly."

Lin Ziqiao glared at him resentfully.

She took out the magazines in the drawer, and continued to look through Yuan Lang as nothing.

Yuan Lang put the contract to be signed on her desk, "After signing this contract, you will be able to meet him right away."

"What the hell are you doing?"

She opened it suspiciously, and it turned out to be a training contract related to the company managed by Meng Qingxi.After talking with Yuan Lang last time, he has already come to work in her company, because he is in charge of running clients, so she can read financial magazines so easily during working hours.But when exactly did he talk about this project?She didn't know anything about it.

"After he came back, did he come to see you once? Or did he make a phone call?"

Lin Ziqiao shook her head as she was stabbed to the point.

The last time they met in a hotel, she only found out afterwards that it was Meng Tianwang's 75th birthday banquet. At his birthday banquet, he grandly brought Yang Weizhou and Meng Qingxi, the two future successors of the "Tianwang" Group, to the front of the crowd. debut.There were many reporters present at the time, perhaps this was the reason why Meng Qingxi could not have any reunion with her.

But three months have passed, and no matter how confident she is, she still feels anxious now.It was her own agreement with Meng Qingxi not to meet or contact each other, but since they had already met, he didn't even give her any news. Wasn't he afraid that she would think wildly?When she met Chen Liangyue that day, did he think that she didn't keep the agreement and gave up waiting for him, so he didn't come to see her?
"Stupid woman, don't think too much, go to him."

Yuan Lang handed over the signing pen, "The contract is urgent to be sent back, so hurry up and sign your name."

"I can't disturb him."

Lin Ziqiao shunned the contract. She had to have confidence in Meng Qingxi. Since the agreement was made and he could do it, she must do it too.

"If Xiaoxi runs away with others, don't blame me for not reminding you."

Yuan Lang gritted his teeth and left her office, continuing to go outside to do his own things.Lin Ziqiao looked at the contract he left behind, feeling a war between heaven and man.Obviously she didn't want Meng Qingxi to be distracted, but in the end, did she want to break this promise with her own hands?

She suddenly closed the financial magazine in her hand, and quickly signed her name on the contract.

Then he stood up abruptly, went outside and patted it on Yuan Lang's desk.

Yuan Lang smiled triumphantly, "I knew you were reluctant."

"Next time if you dare to negotiate a contract without telling me again, be careful that I will deduct your bonus."

Yuan Lang laughed mischievously, "Anita, you have already signed the contract, let me tell you again. I was able to negotiate this project so quickly because I cut the price in half. In fact, excluding the lecturer's remuneration and costs, we finally There is no profit. Your money is Xiaoxi's money, and so is his, so don't worry too much about it."

Her head was full of images of Meng Qingxi, and she didn't even read the terms of the contract carefully!

Lin Ziqiao reached out to snatch the contract back from Yuan Lang's hand, "Business that loses money must not be done!"

Yuan Lang threw the contract to Liu Lingdong, "According to the address on the contract, it will be delivered to Tianwang Group immediately."

"Make sure it's done."

Liu Lingdong ran away quickly.

Lin Ziqiao raised her foot to kick Yuan Lang, what kind of prodigal business executive did she hire?
