Chapter 38(1/2)
I was chatting on WeChat just now, and I met him after I had a meal. It was a coincidence that Chu Ning looked at him suspiciously.
Qin Xi was seen calmly by her, with a bit of leisure and comfort in her expression.
Qi Shenghao Shao Lin is still there, Chu Ning smiled slightly, nodded, and greeted him symbolically: "What a coincidence, why is Mr. Qin here?"
Politely stretch out your right hand.
Qin Xi sat down without getting up, her eyes fell on her hand, her skin was fair and white, her fingers were slender, her round and plump nails were neatly trimmed, with a faint pink color, as beautiful as delicately carved jade.
He held it back and felt soft, and he added some force without realizing it. His voice was scattered and unique: "Do something private."
He hooked his palm with his fingers. Chu Ning felt panic, her cheeks rose and she quickly pulled her hand back without moving.
This is a six-person table with soft and spacious sofas on both sides.
At this time, Qi Sheng and Shao Lin were sitting opposite each other by the window, and Qin Xi was next to Qi Sheng.
Chu Ning sat down next to Shao Lin and faced Qin Xi.
After two seconds of silence, Shao Lin handed her the menu: "I know you don't eat spicy food, and we ordered no chili peppers. See if there is anything you need to add."
Chu Ning glanced at the menu randomly and poured himself a glass of water: "It's almost done, no matter how much it is, I guess I can't finish it."
Qin Xi picked up the menu and ordered two more, both of which Chu Ning liked to eat.
Chu Ning held the water cup and drank water guiltily, for fear that her colleagues would see something strange.
Staying with a big shot like Qin Xi, Qi Sheng and Shao Lin were a little restrained. They didn't talk as much as they usually did, and they only had a few greetings with Qin Xi in a manner.
His mood was faint and not very enthusiastic, so the atmosphere gradually became quiet.
The store was crowded and the food was a little slow. Qin Xi's phone suddenly shook a few times.
"You guys will do it, I will lose my companion." He greeted him, got up with his cell phone and walked outside.
When she left, Shao Lin breathed out and said in an incredible tone: "It's a coincidence. When I was interviewing Mr. Qin before, I squatted at the door of his company every day and couldn't see anyone. Now I'm meeting him in a hotel near our Taili, and he is alone. What do you think he is doing here?"
Qi Sheng: "Isn't it a private matter? Don't inquire about it, so as not to offend people."
He sighed again, "This Mr. Qin looks cold on the surface and is quite kind-hearted. He is actually willing to sit at the same table with us. I thought that people of this level would have a cleanliness obsession with them and never share a table with others casually. After all, we are not very familiar with him. I didn't expect that he actually knew us and asked us to sit here."
Shao Lin flicked her fingers on the table, remembering something, and guessing: "We both mentioned Chu Ning when we had no seat just now. Should he be more familiar with Chu Ning?"
She looked at Chu Ning next to her, "How did you make such a difficult big shot agree to the interview?"
Chu Ning: "Maybe because I and him are alumni in high school? Or luck. I don't know much."
Shao Lin looked at the decoration of the hotel: "The quality of this hotel is definitely NO1 in the nearby rankings. Fortunately, there is a discount for the opening of the new store. It's better for us AAs, otherwise I won't be able to afford it, and the dishes on the menu are very expensive."
As he was talking, Chu Ning was patted on the shoulder.
She turned her head and saw Shao Xinhui standing behind her, smiling brightly on her face, and said in surprise: "Sister, what a coincidence!"
"Why are you here?" She was also a little surprised and looked around, "Are you the only one?"
Shao Xinhui: "I came to find a friend nearby in the morning and prepared to come here for a meal before going back to school. I didn't expect to meet you."
He glanced at the empty seats around him, "Sister, this store is doing very well and there is no seat. Can I sit with you?"
Shao Lin asked: "Chu Ning, is this your younger brother? He still looks like a student?"
Chu Ning explained: "My college roommate's younger brother is studying in Changguan."
"Then sit down and eat with everyone." Qi Sheng suggested, "I'll tell Mr. Qin later. He probably won't mind multiple people, right?"
Shao Xinhui looked at Chu Ning and waited for her to speak.
Chu Ning smiled and said, "Then you sit down, they are all my colleagues, so there is no need to be restrained."
Shao Xinhui sat happily opposite Chu Ning, where Qin Xi had just sat.
"Sister, do you work nearby? I've been here a lot recently and haven't seen you?"
Chu Ning looked over: "You often come here?"
Shao Xinhui grabbed the back of his head and smiled: "That...is that's it. I have a friend who works part-time jobs near here, so I often come."
Chu Ning nodded, didn't ask much, but replied: "I asked for leave some time ago and am not in Changguan."
"No wonder, I said I didn't see you once." He murmured softly.
Chu Ning paused slightly: "What did you say?"
"Nothing." Shao Xinhui shook his head quickly.
Qi Sheng sat next to Shao Xinhui, heard his words to himself, smelled an unusual breath, and gave Shao Lin the opposite wink.
When Qin Xi came back, he caught a glimpse of Shao Xinhui who came out of nowhere, and was still sitting opposite Chu Ning. He frowned almost invisibly.
Qi Sheng stood up and greeted Qin Xi: "Mr. Qin, this is Chu Ning's friend."
He said to Shao Xinhui again: "This is Mr. Qin's position, otherwise you can go and sit next to Chu Ning."
Shao Xinhui's eyes were slightly brighter and he stood up.
Qin Xi was one step faster than him and sat down directly beside Chu Ning.
Shao Xinhui looked at him and his smile froze.
Chu Ning glanced at Qin Xi on the side. He was very close to her and didn't know if it was intentional.
After thinking about it, Chu Ning explained to Qin Xi, "I happened to meet you. There is no seat elsewhere. Don't Qin mind multiple people?"
Qin Xi looked at her with a faint face, and then he responded casually after a while.
The waiter happened to serve the dishes.
Qi Sheng and Shao Lin clearly felt that Qin Xi's attitude was much weaker when he answered the phone, so he had a very quiet meal.
Shao Xinhui took food for Chu Ning with great care: "Sister, this is delicious, you can try it."
Chu Ning looked up: "You eat it yourself, don't worry about me."
Shao Lin and Qi Sheng looked at each other, smiled and leaned into Chu Ning's ear and asked, "Isn't this little brother chasing you, right?"
Chu Ning held the chopsticks and froze for a moment. She looked at Shao Xinhui who was still picking up food for her, and then subconsciously looked at Qin Xi, who had always had a cold face and didn't say a word.
Isn’t Shao Xinhui really what he meant, right?
Chu Ning thought of eating at Jiang Yin's house last time, and he was so attentive.
If Shao Lin is saying it is true, she will have to explain it to him alone after dinner later.
Seeing that the more and more dishes in Chuling bowl were piled up, Qin Xi put down the tea cup lightly and heavily, his eyelids drooped slightly, and his voice was cold: "Children, do you know that it is very impolite to keep picking food for people on the dining table but not asking others whether they like it?"
Qin Xi was solemnly wearing a face, and when she was serious, she was full of aura, which made the surrounding atmosphere condense and sink.
Shao Xinhui knew that Qin Xi and Chu Ning were high school classmates, and Qin Xi still lived with Chu Ning.
Hearing this, he looked at him without fear. After a moment, he looked at Chu Ning and grinned and asked, "Sister, don't you like it?"
Chu Ning glanced at the dishes in the bowl and smiled reluctantly: "There are too many, you can eat them yourself."
Shao Xinhui responded and did not pick up food for Chu Ning, but just talked about something else: "Sister, did you ask for leave some time ago? What's wrong? Are you sick?"
"No, there's something private."
"But I think my sister is not in a good mood. She must be too tired from work and should pay more attention to rest."
...
Listening to the noise in his ears, Qin Xi was in a bad mood and put down his chopsticks without much eating.
It was guessed that the boss probably didn’t like someone talking too much on the dining table, so Qi Sheng gently pulled Shao Xinhui: “Don’t keep talking, eat the food quickly.”
As he said that, he looked at Qin Xi and spoke much more politely: "Why don't Mr. Qin eat it? Are you not having an appetite?"
Thinking of something, he took out a few lemon candies from his pocket and said, "I bought this in the morning. It tasted pretty good. Mr. Qin wants to try it?"
Qi Sheng said that each person had one, which was Weike's lemon candy.
Shao Lin teased: "I thought you were so generous, and gave all that can to me and Chu Ning. I still kept so many of them privately."
Chu Ning didn't expect Qi Sheng to suddenly take this out and give it to Qin Xi for food. She was choked and tilted her head and coughed a few times, and her face turned red in an instant.
Qin Xi glanced at her quietly and handed the water cup to her hand.
Chu Ning held the water cup guiltily and was embarrassed to look up.
"Look at my memory." Qi Sheng remembered something and laughed, "I forgot that Wei is under Yuanshang, boss Qin, you must have eaten this candy, right?"
He praised: "This candy is so delicious."
Shao Xinhui peeled off the sugar coating and tasted it, frowned: "What kind of sugar is too sour!"
Qi Sheng looked at him: "Don't you like it? The candies are sour and sweet and delicious."
Shao Xinhui: "This is too sour. I think it's better to be pure sweet. Sister, what do you think?"
Seeing Shao Xinhui looking over, Chu Ning said, "I like it very much, it will get so sweet."
Shao Xinhui twitched his mouth slightly, and then smiled after a moment: "You seem to be right to say this. If you savor it carefully, the sugar is OK, it is not too sour."
Qin Xi glanced at him lazyly, and his voice couldn't hear his emotions: "If you don't like it, don't force it. There is no need to cater to adults' tastes. If you force yourself to eat it, it will still be sour and you can't taste the sweetness."
