Chapter 142 Can’t wait anymore
Chapter 142 Can’t wait anymore
"Did I sleep quietly all night? Did I do anything shameful?"
Chi Qi found it funny that Sister An An started the topic herself, so she didn't have to rack her brains.
"It was because you were so quiet and drowsy that we were worried about calling a doctor. But you said you were thirsty in the middle of the night and I gave you half a glass of water. Do you remember?"
An Yi frowned slightly, and shook her head helplessly after a moment: "I don't remember, I have no memory of it at all." It was the same before, I couldn't remember anything the next day after getting drunk, and I could only learn about my funny "deeds" from other people. For example, I kept chatting with friends, or laughed for no reason and then cried while hugging friends...
The past was too painful to recall, and An Yi secretly stuck out her tongue. Therefore, since Youyou was born, she has never drunk a lot of alcohol, because she is really afraid that her not-so-good drinking habits will scare the child and ruin her image as a good mother.
Fortunately, I didn't get exposed in front of outsiders last night. An Yi breathed a sigh of relief.
Chi Qi was also relieved: the first task was successfully completed. As for the second task, Chi Qi hadn't figured out how to start. No matter what, let's start with a transition sentence: "She said you fell asleep while answering the phone?"
"I think so." An Yi's temples were still aching from the hangover. Her memory only stayed on Fan Jiaer leaving her angrily and going to find the phone that kept ringing...
"Did you call?" An Yi asked.
Chi Qi did not clarify, but only said "hmm" in a not very clear voice. He thought: Although I did not make the call, it was caused by me. I really have to thank the sister who is familiar with Fan Jiaer.
As I was pondering my next step, I heard the person next to me mutter, "Am I stupid? For not realizing...something was wrong."
—There was something wrong with the nature of that bar.
Considering Chi Qi's possible identity, An Yi concealed a few key words. When she just woke up, Chi Qi explained her appearance lightly, and she didn't think much about it at the time. But as her memory gradually recovered and her thoughts became clearer, coupled with the conversation they had just had, An Yi slowly understood some of the inside story.
Even though An Yi's words were subtle, it still caught Chi Qi by surprise. She glanced at the people around her in surprise, her hands became unsteady, and the car swayed slightly on the road before moving steadily again.
I guess Sister An An has asked the most appropriate questions. What Chi Qi cannot accept the most is that she is almost caught and is doing self-reflection without knowing the truth!
So he decided not to cover up for Fan Jiaer anymore: "I have already found out the general situation: Fan Jiaer was afraid that you would find out and be scared away, so she teamed up with others to conceal it, so she trapped you in the box and let her little followers persuade you to drink back and forth." At this point, Chi Qi said sarcastically: "Unfortunately, she didn't get her wish. I was there last night. Fan Jiaer didn't want to be exposed by me, so she pretended to be drunk and hurriedly coaxed you upstairs. Coincidentally, I saw your backs, so I chased you all the way... What do you think? I have a good eye!"
Chi Qi forced a joke. Anyway, the matter had been resolved safely, so he just wanted Sister An An to understand that it was a scam. He didn't want to scare her too much.
"That's pretty impressive! The bar was so dark and there were so many people, the lights and shadows were all moving around, I definitely wouldn't have recognized you anyway."
"We hang out in places like this all day, so we've gotten used to the sight." Chi Qi didn't care.
The car fell silent for no reason until Chi Qi hesitated and spoke again: "What she did made you...very angry, right? You are right to be angry, you should be angry! Don't be soft-hearted and forgive her."
An Yi was stunned for a moment, and some intermittent, unclear and charming pictures flashed in his mind again. The memories were all warm: lips, hands, body... whether it was hers or his...
Her breathing became rapid, and she hastily collected her thoughts, clutching her hands that wanted to cover her burning cheeks, and coughed twice to ease the embarrassment, looking evasively at the street scene beside her. After a while, she finally managed to reply in a steady tone: "I am definitely angry. But... it's okay, after all, nothing happened. Fan Jiaer is still young, and in my eyes, she is just a child."
"Child? A 20-year-old child?" Chi Qi snorted coldly: "Stop making excuses for her. Fan Jiaer's scheme was premeditated and organized. You are neither the first nor the last. It is not an exaggeration to say that she is a scum and a black sheep in our circle, but she is still complacent and unrepentant!" Chi Qi criticized harshly in anger.
An Yi sighed, not to find excuses for Fan Jiaer, but even if it really happened, what could she do? Well, I am barefoot and I am not afraid of those who wear shoes. Can I get a satisfactory result by calling the police without considering the other party's identity and background? The reason why the French Open is called "Network" is that there are loopholes to be exploited, especially... In their situation last night, An Yi was not even sure if there was any law to follow.
"Every failure is a learning experience." She reflected: "I thought I was quite steady, but I was led by the nose without knowing what was going on. I lived for more than 30 years in vain."
"How can I blame you? But Sister An An, don't bother with her anymore. If you can't get rid of her, contact... me." Chi Qi secretly exclaimed, "That was a close call!" The word "Mr. Ding" almost came out of her mouth, but fortunately she changed her words in time.
"Yeah, I'll never pay any attention to her again!" An Yi swore angrily, looking cute and naive.
Chi Qi couldn't help but laugh, and a dark flash flashed in his eyes as he changed his mind. He said soothingly: "In fact, the bar itself is not scary, including most of the people there."
"I understand. It's just a place where everyone can gather with friends freely without being bound by the world." An Yi said sincerely. "If Fan Jiaer could ask me frankly, I would refuse, but it's not because I have any prejudice. At the moment, my heart only wants and can only be devoted to my family, and I don't have extra energy to spend on other things."
"Chi Qi," she sighed, "You don't know how relieved I was when I saw you. Thank you so much."
Chi Qi hurriedly said no. Then he recalled what Ding said last night, "You stay. An Yi will feel more at ease seeing you." He couldn't help but ask curiously, "When I said I was also from that bar, weren't you afraid that I was in the same group with her?"
"Don't be afraid, you are my colleague."
"Sister An An, colleagues are not 100% safe and trustworthy."
"But you are trustworthy." An Yi answered firmly: "Although we don't interact much, I can feel your consideration and care for me, and you always try to make me happy."
Was he doing it in a covert way or was he discovered? Chi Qi, who was a little shy, didn't know how to proceed.
Seeing that he had successfully stopped the conversation with Chi Qi, An Yi smiled bitterly: It once again proved that her little bit of housework was the best tool he could use.
Are most young people today kind? Or are the young people at Suntech like this? If it weren't for the long period of care that was about to begin, and if it weren't for the dangerous boss, I would have been reluctant to leave the company soon.
After putting away the lunch box in his hand, An Yi clapped his hands and said with a smile: "We are almost at the company. We really have plenty of time."
Chi Qi raised his eyebrows: "Am I awesome?"
An Yi nodded vigorously, blinked and asked tentatively: "Could it be that you are the legendary famous Leo?"
Chi Qi was surprised: "Yes! How did you know?"
"I guessed it. I really like studying constellations." An Yi smiled proudly.
Chi Qi praised: "You are amazing too! Let's have a good chat some other time."
"It's a deal! I'll treat you as a thank you."
Chi Qi smiled but said nothing, thinking: Unless he decides to let you go, he will not give you the opportunity to contact us privately again.
Two days later.
"Mr. Ding, I had very smooth communication with Party A regarding the project of the big group. Their Mr. He said that it was a very good suggestion to include Sun Technology's new products, and he looks forward to the subsequent results." Uncle Han was sitting in the passenger seat and turned sideways to report to Ding Hong in the back seat.
"Okay, Uncle Han, thank you for your concern."
"It's my job." After saying that, Uncle Han wrote it down in his notebook. The elderly are not used to those e-commerce products, so writing is still reliable.
The car was quiet. Uncle Han was still writing. Ding Hong's eyes fell on the portable computer in front of him, as if he was concentrating on thinking. Xiao Yang glanced at the rearview mirror anxiously. Why did he feel that his boss's aura was unstable at this time? Was it his own illusion?
"I can not wait anymore."
"Okay, then I'll speed up the process." Uncle Han thought for a moment and marked an asterisk on his notes.
"It's an easy matter, Uncle Han."
Suddenly, Xiao Yang's breath caught in his throat and he couldn't help but admire his own sharpness that had been improving recently. He tried to keep his eyes on the road ahead and not be distracted, because he almost lost his composure and stepped on the brake just now.
"Young Master, you..." Uncle Han found his voice after a while, but the few words were stuck in his throat and he couldn't utter them.
"I have made my decision, but I need your help."
You need Uncle Han, but you don't need me! Why are you talking in the car? Xiao Yang wailed in his heart, do you need me to jump out of the car immediately? I can do it!
"You haven't been to Suntech recently, so I thought this matter was over."
"It's not the past, it's the past that can't be overcome. If I had given each other time to consider and choose before, now I can't let her temper develop."
"What happened? Is this the only way to solve it?" Uncle Han looked at the young master in the rearview mirror with an anxious and pleading look.
Ding Hong also looked at Uncle Han with an anxious and pleading look.
"Okay. Please give me your instructions." With their eyes fixed on each other, Uncle Han obeyed dejectedly.
Ding Hong breathed a sigh of relief, relaxed his tense body, and spoke out his plan. Uncle Han held the paper and pen but could not remember a single word, even though it was also an instruction.
"Sister An An, this is so strange. Does your position require you to travel on business?" Jia Xuan asked.
At noon, it was hot and stuffy outside, as if it was holding back the rain. Everyone was too lazy to go out, and wanted to order takeout, but when they thought that the company's tea room would be full, they decided to have some simple Western meals in a cafe in the building.
An Yi nodded: "I was surprised too. Did you also get a copy of the meeting minutes?"
"No, I heard it from Manager Lu. He asked me to prepare the relevant documents."
Qin Shan was also curious: "I heard that you are attending on behalf of the boss?"
"I guess so. Actually, the task is very simple. The headquarters sent me to deliver a bid. This bidding will be one of the major projects of the Ding Group this year. Mr. Ding loves his son very much, so he added two of our company's products as featured items."
To put it bluntly, it's a gift, but even if it's a gift, it has to be pleasing to Party A. If it's adopted, it will definitely be good for Sun Technology's brand promotion. Several people nodded knowingly.
"So even if we win the bid, it won't affect sales, and naturally it has nothing to do with the sales department, but our company needs to send a representative to attend. The boss will definitely not make a trip for such a small matter, so it falls on me." An Yi said helplessly: "The project is led by Uncle Han, and he called me this morning to inform me. Anyway, the data for last month has been updated in the past two days, so I just happen to be free, and Uncle Han said that if things go well, we can go back and forth on the same day."
Everyone was busy asking about the city they were going to. When they heard that it was a seaside tourist resort, they immediately became envious and hurriedly persuaded An Yi to find an excuse to spend a few days there and just treat it as a public-funded tour.
"Sister An An, take the child with you secretly!" Millie suggested in a low voice: "She can stay in the same hotel room with you and just buy her round-trip ticket. Our manager often does this."
"What a nonsense idea. Tomorrow is Thursday, okay? The kids have to go to school."
"Oh yeah, that's a shame!"
So several people began to chatter and plan travel routes and famous snacks for An Yi. They all tacitly hoped that Sister An An could spend a few days leisurely to relieve her depression.
An Yi was touched by everyone's friendship towards her. In fact, Uncle Han had said something similar in the morning. How could she be in the mood to travel without her family? What good would a beautiful palace like a fairyland do?
Thinking of it as paving the way for his family, An Yi perked up and listened to the various recommendations from several beauties.
