Chapter 14(1/2)
A quarter of an hour later, Cheng Lang flipped through a stack of project analysis reports in the office, and separated one ear and listened to Gao Rui crying at his desk.
"In the evening, Mr. Zhao from Fancui Jewelry called and said that he had just learned that Miss Zhao had made you unhappy in the afternoon and wanted to bring his daughter to apologize to you. I also declined angrily, saying that you don't have to take this little thing to heart. Now it seems that this is not a little thing!" Gao Rui wiped the corners of his eyes, "You don't know, how Miss Zhao treated Miss Xu before."
"Are you idle?" Cheng Lang raised his eyes and tapped the side ridge of the folder in his hand with his knuckles. "I don't care about the 400 billion project, and I'll study the little girl's play house games."
Gao Rui choked: "Didn't you ask me to inquire in the afternoon?"
"You said it was afternoon too." Cheng Lang lowered his head and turned over two pages of the report, which felt a bit of a sense of confidence and ruthlessness.
"I know Miss Xu's actions today violate your taboo, and that Mrs. Xu's attitude is really not likable, but..."
Cheng Lang closed the document and pressed it on the table and handed it forward: "We Mr. Cheng may have enjoyed enough money and real money is used as fun. Let's prepare. I will refute this project at the seminar next week."
Gao Rui looked at the three words "Dream Island" on the folder and his face turned shaking.
As a heavy hammer for Lanchen's comprehensive transformation and entering the cultural market, Dream Island is a large-scale cultural and tourism project focused on building in the group's latest five-year plan.
According to Cheng Jun's idea, the group will build theme parks that integrate local characteristics in seven first- and second-tier cities in China. After the final opinions are finalized next week, it will begin to negotiate and sign project contracts with various places. If it goes well, a phase of funds will be distributed early next year.
"This project has been planned for nearly two years." Although it might be nonsense to Cheng Lang, Gao Rui still took a cold air and reminded him.
"That is, we must stop the loss in time. Mr. Cheng has no worries about food and clothing. The group's 95,000 employees still have to support their families."
With such a heavy burden over, Gao Rui didn't care about Xu Qiao's side for a while, and immediately picked up a bunch of documents and walked out.
Before leaving, Cheng Lang's voice sounded behind him: "I won't cry next time, don't use colored eye drops."
“…”
——
The next evening, Xu Qiao, who had been in pain for a whole day, finally struggled to get up after hearing that the designer of his jewelry company arrived.
This is a routine work by Jinlu’s core design team four times a year. Every time the season changes, they will tailor the next season’s personal custom jewelry for Xu Qiao.
The design drawings were first drafted this time last month, but they were killed by Xu Kangrong, saying that they could no longer waste company resources for their daughter.
But it was probably because of Cheng Lang's attitude yesterday that Xu Qiao was defeated. Yan Lizhen felt that the Xu family still had to spend a lot of money in this regard. She took advantage of Xu Kangrong's business trip and took the initiative to invite the designer to her home.
Xu Qiao felt uncomfortable and was very angry by Cheng Lang. His temples were still thrusting and he was quite indifferent to making jewelry. After calling Liang Que to the study, he wrapped himself in a velvet blanket into the sofa, curled up in a soft ball.
Liang Que stood beside him holding a flat plate, sliding the screen at a constant speed, while observing her expression, and even the fruit plate brought by Aunt Zhang was not in the mood to eat.
After all, Jin Lu knew that this young lady’s aesthetic is notoriously difficult to cater to.
Xu Qiao finished reading more than a dozen design drafts expressionlessly and lifted her eyelids: "This year, the wind is very strong in the rock tones."
Liang Que's heart was filled with a stimulus.
Graduated from the Florence Jewelry Design Academy, she entered the Florence International Design Biennale as soon as she made her debut. She was less than 30 years old and firmly sat on the position of creative director of Jinlu Jewelry. Her resume is extremely beautiful in this circle, and many of her colleagues don’t understand why she is willing to surrender to Jinlu with her qualifications.
But whenever she faces Xu Qiao, the glamour in front of her people seems to be indescribable.
Perhaps it was because the debut work that made Italian celebrities praise and helped her become famous in one fell swoop was actually derived from Xu Qiao's "instructions".
Xu Qiao, who was less than 20 years old, complained about her works. She went from being disdainful at first and thinking that this young lady who was above the top was preaching an expert, to accidentally discovering that the effect of modifying Xu Qiao's ideas was surprisingly amazing.
So even though this daughter, who was keen on enjoyment, only finished her undergraduate degree in China and even refused to go abroad for further studies, she still couldn't ignore her seemingly picky opinions.
After thinking for a while, Liang Que said: "It is indeed following a wave of wind. After all, creating hot spots requires opportunities."
Xu Qiao spread his hands: "It's better to keep up with the wind than to see the dust. I didn't say that following the wind is not good, but just using the gimmick of heavy colors, blindly following the wind so hard that he even threw away his basic skills is put before the horse?"
Liang Que was stunned.
Xu Qiao pointed at the leaf-shaped brooch on the screen: "That heavy rose red, you must not steal the main body's limelight when put on a light-colored spring suit? Why not use gradient?"
She raised her arm lazily, slid the screen with her index finger twice, and then taped the water drop diamond ring: "This emerald is not abrupt when inlaid on the platinum ring? Why not add a light-colored secondary diamond on each side to complete the color transition?"
Xu Qiao's slogan was so fast that he couldn't speak the whole time.
After she rested, she ate a piece of dragon fruit with dry mouth and ate it, and Liang Que had the chance to speak. But after thinking carefully, she found that there was no refutation.
"I'll go back and revise the manuscript immediately." She said, holding the tablet tightly.
Xu Qiao waved his hand and signaled to leave. When others left, he fell into the sofa with resentment of all the things going wrong.
Aunt Zhang came in and poured her a cup of brown sugar water to calm her down.
She felt tired after taking a few sips, and sat for a while, sighed and said, "Aunt Zhang, where is my little handkerchief? I want to take a nap."
"I'll get it for you in your room." Knowing that she couldn't sleep without pinching the handkerchief in her hand, Aunt Zhang hurriedly went to pick it up. She didn't want to open the study door but heard an angry male voice.
"Who promised her to live home? A twenty-three-year-old man takes care of himself as soon as he leaves home. She should learn this lesson! If you take her back like this, you will continue to spoil her!" It was Xu Kangrong who came back from a business trip.
Aunt Zhang was shocked and was about to close the door, but Xu Qiao stopped her with a look.
The quarrels downstairs were so clearly heard.
"Aren't I afraid that your baby daughter will live too hard outside? Besides, you are so daddy? Oh, I have been spoiled for more than twenty years, and then I remember that I can't spoil her. What's the difference between throwing a bird that can't fly downstairs and hitting it?"
"You are so embarrassed to say this. Isn't it all that you have been spoiled for so many years? When she said that studying abroad was hard, I said that you have to go even if you have to help her. Are you trying your best to help her? If you are half strict with her, she will not be able to get rid of her!"
The couple became heavier and heavier. Aunt Zhang was in awkwardly, either moving forward or retreating. When she turned to look at Xu Qiao, she saw that she was not at all concerned about her business and looked up at the sunset outside the window, chewing an apple in her mouth.
Although her expression was extremely dull, Aunt Zhang felt that there were so many shameful dirty things buried in this magnificent home, but this child had never known it.
Even if she gave up studying abroad and jewelry design, there might be something else.
Yan Lizhen seemed to be angry at the bottom: "What do you mean to raising her? Haven't you said, 'Even if your daughter doesn't marry for the rest of her life, you can still raise her?"
"One time and another time! How difficult is business now? If Jin Lu collapses one day, I will be gone. I will see how she lives alone!"
"What are you saying bad things!"
Xu Qiao finally got up, went back to her room to change into her home clothes, packed up a few pieces of luggage in a few seconds, carried a small wardrobe box downstairs.
The couple, who was so quarreled that they blushed and stopped looking at her.
Xu Kangrong glared at her: "Where are you going to?"
"Everyone says that kindness makes money. I'm afraid that if I stay for a while, our family won't be able to make money anymore. Then how can I live in the rest of my life?"
"You girl..."
Xu Qiao waved to the two of them with a smile and left the courtyard. When he saw Xu Lie standing straight on the corner, he was startled and shocked: "What are you doing, be a door god?" He realized again. He probably came back from outside and "avoided the battle" here when he heard the movement inside, so he pointed behind him, "I've finished the argument, I can go in."
Xu Lie frowned and didn't move: "Dad is a knife and a bitchy heart. You can take it softly and take it well before leaving. He won't really drive you out."
"Do you see, your sister has the word "super surrender" in the dictionary?" Xu Qiao snorted and walked away in her high heels.
Being expelled from the house seemed like a familiarity. On the way to the Odereddon Hotel, Xu Qiao was in a very peaceful state, so peaceful that she felt that she had been smoothed out by the suffering of life.
It was not until she opened the door of the hotel suite and walked to the closet to put her luggage that she realized that the edges and corners of people would not be smoothed so easily.
She looked at the men's dark gray flannel suit in the closet and took a deep breath of patience.
This was the day Li Dun opened a while ago. Cheng Lang lent her an emergency coat without knowing that she was Xu Qiao.
She forgot to return it. And he was obviously not the one who would ask women for things.
He originally had some meaning of a token of love, but was rejected by him one after another, especially after being sarcastic by him yesterday, this thing became extremely eye-catching.
Xu Qiao picked up the suit angrily and was about to stuff it into the trash can, but he stopped his horse.
Cheng Lang wouldn't know that she threw it away. Seeing that she hadn't paid it back, maybe she thought she was so crazy that she had to treasure even a coat of his.
Not wanting to contact Cheng Lang, she took out Gao Rui's business card and sent a text message: "Assistant Gao, please come and take away Mr. Xiao Cheng's suit if you have time. If you don't want me, just throw it away."
Gao Rui did not reply immediately. Even more than an hour later, the hotel's food delivery service arrived, and his mobile phone was still lying quietly aside.
Xu Qiao had no place to vent his anger. Seeing the table of dishes with no appetite, he put it down after moving a few chopsticks, and sent a message to Zhu Li with his mouth: "I'm in a bad mood, I want to go to Yujinfang to have a drink."
Zhu Li: "Aren't you having a period?"
Xu Qiao: "It's okay to smell the wine."
Zhu Li: "I have a client who can't leave tonight, so you can find Cheng Lang."
Xu Qiao: "If he and I were able to drink, would I be in a bad mood?"
Xu Qiao withdrew a message.
Zhu Li: "I saw it. Are you defeated by him again?"
Xu Qiao: "Shut up, don't come and get down, I'll look for someone else."
Zhu Li: "Who else can you find?"
Xu Qiao: "…"
Xu Qiao: "My popularity is not that bad! I also have a friend at the toll station!"
——
As if to prove that he is not a little pitiful person who doesn’t love his father and doesn’t love his mother, even the drinker can’t call him, Xu Qiao made a bold statement and put it into practice and made Shi Hu to Yujinfang.
But when she really entered the bar, she saw Shi Huan hesitating to take the drink list and ask the waiter if there was any Jiuzhen Juice, she regretted it again.
If you have different circles, you can't be able to integrate hard. This old girl is really not a person from such a place.
In the end, the wine party could only become a health party. The two of them sat on the scattered platform and looked at the fruit plate with oranges and pears, which made them look sideways from all directions.
Of course, it is not ruled out that even Xu Qiao would have the same situation even if he drank normally.
To be continued...
