Chapter 558: Provocation for No Reason
Seeing Xiao Zhou rushing in in a hurry, Lin Qing put down her phone, she raised her head and said, "What's the fuss?" β
Xiao Zhou didn't dare to be ambiguous, turned around and closed the door, and walked straight towards her: "You tell me clearly first, the project a while ago, our boss personally went out to win it, does it really have anything to do with you?" β
Lin Qing didn't think about it: "What does it have to do with me?" β
"It's all spreading, why don't you look aware." Xiao Zhou walked to the opposite side, her hands propped up on the edge of the table, her face was very serious, "The outside said that you went to drink with the president of the other party in exchange." β
"What a mess." When Lin Qing heard this, he frowned, "Don't worry, you speak slowly and make it clear." β
Xiao Zhou also only knew a rough idea, and before he finished speaking, Lin Qing thought of the dinner, at that time, her appearance actually didn't play any substantive role, it turned out that she was waiting here?
She wasn't sure if it was Shan Rong's intention, or if there were too many people in the company who made something out of nothing.
Lin Qing doesn't take it seriously, this kind of rumor can't be lively for a few days, not to mention, her current identity has always been scrupulous, even if someone really says a few words directly, it will soon disappear.
Xiao Zhou looked at her with his eyes, and said uncertainly: "What they said, it can't be true, right?" β
She waved her hand: "It's nothing. β
Within two days, the project leader of the partner company came to the company for a meeting.
When passing by outside the conference room, Lin Qing glanced inside, she really never expected that the project leader of the other party turned out to be Xu Yuan.
Inside just after the end of the meeting, Xu Yuan walked out of the conference room, she wore a pair of high heels with beautiful and fashionable clothes, and she didn't see any bleak signs at all, such a spirit, as if she had regained her previous pride and self-confidence.
Seeing Xu Yuan, Lin Qing was still surprised, she walked half a beat slower, and after the feeling of surprise disappeared in a flash, she walked forward in the direction of another conference room.
Xu Yuan passed by her, and blocked the document in his hand: "I haven't seen you for a long time, don't you want to talk?" β
Lin Qing stopped, and after brushing her hand away, she looked sideways: "I have a meeting later." β
"That's good." Xu Yuan only agreed when she agreed, waved her hand to let her colleagues leave first, and then turned her head to look at Lin Qing, "I'll wait for you in your office." β
After Lin Qing finished the meeting, when he was sorting out the information, he remembered Xu Yuan's words and thought it was just a joke.
She returned to the office and just pushed the door open, but she didn't expect to see Xu Yuanzhen sitting on the sofa.
Xu Yuan waited for so long, and finally waited for Lin Qing. Her face did not show a trace of impatience, glanced at Lin Qing, and put the magazine in her hand back on the shelf.
"Is there something wrong?" Lin Qing walked to the desk and sat down, putting down the materials in his hand.
"How is this a good place to catch up, let's go outside and talk."
The word nostalgia is not appropriate here, and it is even inexplicably ridiculous.
Lin Qing leaned on the backrest and didn't move, and she couldn't figure out what Xu Yuan was calculating, her eyes poked over: "My office is not monitored, what can I say directly." β
Xu Yuan looked at her meaningfully, and when the two of them made eye contact, they subconsciously raised their eyes and glanced at the four corners of the roof, perhaps for some reason, they were afraid.
Her answer was delayed for a few seconds: "Okay, here it is." β
When Xu Yuan spoke, his fingers touched his neck, and the scarf he was tied loosened with the movement of his fingers. Lin Qing had no intention of glancing at it, and saw that a trace was faintly visible underneath, and the fingerprint on the side of his neck had gradually turned blue at this time, and it was not difficult to identify that it was pinched up.
You can imagine how hard the person who started it used.
Lin Qing was slightly surprised, a thought flashed, and his gaze couldn't help but stay on Xu Yuan's neck for a few more moments.
"What do you want to say?" Lin Qing clasped his hands.
The marks on Xu Yuan's neck became vivid as he spoke: "Don't you have anything you want to ask?" He and I will know each other and even appear together. β
Lin Qing was not sure at first, but when he heard this, he thought of the identity of the person in charge of Xu Yuan's project, and understood that he in Xu Yuan's mouth was Shan Rong eight times out of ten.
"I'm not interested in your private life."
"I'm not interested."
Xu Yuan's voice became sensitive, and he trembled a little. She suddenly tore off the silk scarf, and now, the ugly trace was completely revealed in Lin Qing's eyes.
At this moment, Lin Qing raised her gaze and touched Xu Yuan's, she seemed to have guessed something, and it was a very clear idea, she knew who was ruthless.
Xu Yuan pointed to his neck: "Surprised?" β
Lin Qing retracted his gaze: "To be honest, if it happened to you, I wouldn't be too surprised." β
Xu Yuan met her gaze: "I deserve it, right?" β
"I didn't say that."
Lin Qing shook his head and glanced at the door, there were curious colleagues outside who seemed to want to find out some gossip. She had a headache, and when she looked at Xu Yuan again, she obviously didn't want to talk about it anymore.
Xu Yuan obviously saw her impatience, and after patting her palm on the sofa, she got up by herself. Xu Yuan walked around the office twice, looking, and his feet suddenly settled in front of Lin Qing.
"I won't go around the bend with you, Lin Qing, I know what you think, your conjectures are all right."
"If that's the case, how can you go back? You're not that stupid to jump into a fire pit knowing it's dangerous. β
Lin Qing was still sitting there, hiding the emotions in her eyes very well, no matter who wanted to hold it and ponder it carefully, she could only see the clarity in her eyes. can only say that her man taught her too well, so that she can only rack her brains and be unpredictable.
Lin Qing raised his gaze slightly, and his gaze fell on Xu Yuan's neck again.
That scar was probably a fatal blow to this woman.
Xu Yuan saw the sympathy in her eyes, although it was only a flash, Xu Yuan smiled contemptuously: "I have nowhere to go, just like five years ago, I was cornered by your man and had to find a backer." But do you think that rich and powerful people can come by beckoning? In that place, no, even if you come back here, you have to rely on special means to survive, otherwise, it will only become more miserable, you know? β
When she spoke, her eyes showed grief and indignation, her body couldn't help leaning forward, Xu Yuan pointed her finger at her face, and when she poked it, she couldn't help but pierce it with force.
She thought, she had grown disgusted with the face ever since.
Lin Qing looked at this close face, and seemed to be able to think of the next thing: "So, you found Shan Rong's brother?" β
"I didn't find him." Xu Yuan laughed at herself, the corners of her eyes and eyebrows were soaked in mockery, she turned around, walked back to the sofa and sat down, provoking a playful smile, "It was he who found me and paid the rent owed for me for a few months, and then he asked me if I wanted to get rid of the terrible poverty and follow him to live an upper-class life." β
Lin Qing stared at her without turning his eyes: "You agreed." β
"That's where I'm supposed to be!" Xu Yuan's emotions suddenly became excited, her chest rose and fell violently, she rubbed herself to her feet, and her two fists had been lifted from her side.
"Where you should be, who prescribed it? No one is born into a certain position. Lin Qing clearly saw the anger in Xu Yuan's eyes, but for her, this was not as stimulating as the other party imagined.
Seeing Lin Qing's still cold eyes, Xu Yuan regretted losing control of her emotions a little, she settled down and retreated: "Could it be that I have any other choice?" β
Lin Qing did not say a word about this: "What you choose is not whether others force you, but yourself." β
Hearing this, Xu Yuan's face turned ugly, and she immediately laughed, stood up and walked to the door. Lin Qing stared at her back, and heard her voice still reach her ears: "Soon you will know, what you are saying now is really naΓ―ve, it is your choice that will cause things to happen one by one, and when you want to stop it again, it will be too late." β
At this time, Lin Qing hadn't figured out the meaning of her words.
Xu Yuan just left, and before she left, she sorted out the silk scarf around her neck, covered the traces, and walked out.
She came with that secret, not caring if Lin Qing would find out, or if she would miss it, after she had endured countless pains, she suddenly felt that she was too pathetic.
She's just not reconciled.
Lin Qing sat in her position for a while, stood up, she stepped forward, opened the door, and saw a group of whispering colleagues outside.
The voice of one of them slowly came to his ears after a moment of agitation in the air: "See? The one who came out just now, it is said to be the woman who is Mr. Shan, came to negotiate with her. β
"But she's the commander's wife."
"So what, won't there be a problem with the style of the military commander's wife, who knows......" The man was still unsatisfied, and he was stabbed in the arm before the words fell.
The man turned around and saw Lin Qing appear not far away, she stood at the door of the office, glanced at this side and retracted her gaze.
These people did not dare to speak freely, and returned to their respective jobs with a stupid face.
The manager came out, heard their voices, and couldn't help but point at them and jump to their feet: "Take care of your mouths, anything that doesn't matter can pop out of your mouths, why haven't you been so attentive to work?" β
"Yes, yes, let's go to work."
Everyone knows that if you provoke the manager, it is these people under your command who suffer.
Lin Qing returned to the office, her mood was heavy for no reason, and it was not the first time she had heard such rumors, but this time, she wanted to hear a man's voice more than usual, even if she had to say a word.
Lin Qing thought about it, and had dialed the number in his hand, but there was still the cold prompt tone inside, and it was not in the service area.
First provoked by Xu Yuan for no reason, and then he was never able to contact the man, Lin Qing was impetuous, and glanced at the position where Xu Yuan had just sit.
After Xu Yuan walked out of the company building, he saw Shan Rong's car as soon as he looked up.
She subconsciously wanted to dodge, but the eyes behind the glass had already nailed her like a falcon.
Xu Yuan clenched his fists, walked to the front of the car, opened the door of the back seat and sat in.
"What did you tell her? So long. The man in the driver's seat spoke, and no emotion could be heard in his voice.
As soon as he heard this tone that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, Xu Yuan's scalp was numb: "What can you say?" Old friends meet and chat for a while. β
The man looked in the rearview mirror, and the credibility of the statement was so low that he only took it as a joke.
But he didn't speak, looked deeply behind him, withdrew his gaze, and started the engine.
Xu Yuan lowered his eyes and opened his palm, the piece of paper he was holding there before was now gone.
