Chapter 827: Return of an Old Friend
A group of people from the design department walked into the restaurant in a mighty procession. The logistics manager saw so many unfamiliar faces and would definitely ask, "Wow, why are there so many new faces today? Are they customers from which department?"
"Brother Li, you guessed wrong this time. This is a new colleague in our design department." Zhang Pengfei replied.
"Your design department is recruiting again. Where are your work badges? Bring them next time. I'm here today. If someone else is not allowed in, these kids will have to go hungry." Old Li kept nagging.
"Of course. There's nothing we can do about it. They just came to report today. Their work permits are being made. Just take them when they come out. Don't worry! Big Brother Li, I won't cause you any trouble next time." Zhang Pengfei assured the newcomers.
"You little brat, what's the trouble? You must be hungry! Go eat!" Old Li looked at Zhang Pengfei and said with a smile.
"Well, thank you, Brother Li!"
After thanking Lao Li, everyone started to enjoy the delicious lunch, especially the newcomers. They really liked the food at Qingtian. The quality of the food was almost as good as that of a three-star hotel. They couldn't help but sigh that it was no wonder that the designers were scrambling to squeeze in here. It turned out that the treatment in all aspects here was really good.
After everyone finished lunch, Xiaomai wanted to go out to digest the food as usual, so she said to Zhou Ziqi who was following her: "Now that we have filled our stomachs, you can go back to the design department with everyone! I have something else to go out for."
"Oh! So that's it! There's nothing for me to do when I go back, so why don't you take me with you!" Zhou Ziqi pouted in frustration at first, and then she suddenly had an idea and spoke directly.
"This is inconvenient! I have an appointment with someone else." Xiaomai said awkwardly. Xiaomai felt that although Zhou Ziqi was lively, cute, and tender, she had no sense of boundaries at all. No wonder Youyou didn't like her. She had only met her twice in total, and the first time was just a glance, without any communication at all. However, she was very familiar with him, and Xiaomai was really not used to it.
Although Xiaomai's refusal was a little euphemistic, Zhou Ziqi was not stupid. She could hear Xiaomai's hidden meaning, so she replied with Xiaomai's harmless sweet smile, "Is that so? Then I won't disturb you and your boyfriend. I'll go back with them. Bye!"
So Zhou Ziqi went back with everyone, but Xiaomai breathed a sigh of relief. This sticky person finally left. She was so annoyed with him this whole afternoon that she couldn't even have a good lunch.
Nan Nan, who was standing by, looked at Xiaomai's expression and asked in confusion, "Are you annoyed by her?"
"It's not annoying, I just feel uncomfortable being with her. She talks too much."
"Really? I think she's pretty good! She's soft and sweet, lively and cute, and yet she's dressed like a lady from a wealthy family. I guess she must be from a wealthy family." Nan Nan's evaluation of Zhou Ziqi is quite good, probably because she's more introverted! So she especially likes girls with a more lively personality.
"Maybe! But I don't like it." Xiaomai shook her head.
"why?"
"I don't know. Maybe her and my personality are not compatible! Or maybe I have a preconceived impression of her!" Xiaomai explained ambiguously.
"Come on, what kind of messed up thoughts are you having? It's quite complicated! I don't understand."
"Oh! Don't ask anymore, let's go, the air outside is better!" Xiaomai said as he took a few quick steps out of the Sky Building. He stood in front of the door and took a deep breath.
Nan Nan also came out and walked towards the garden with Xiao Mai. The two of them strolled along the path in the garden. They felt so comfortable in a long time. Xiao Mai had experienced a lot during this period of time. She felt much better when she looked at the flowers, plants and trees in front of her.
In this way, the two little women walked and chatted in circles, sometimes smiling, sometimes naughty, and sometimes frowning...
Xiaomai didn't know that at this moment, her voice, appearance and smile had fallen into the eyes of others. A man in the corner was looking at Xiaomai thoughtfully, with endless emotions in his eyes.
Just as Xiaomai and Nannan walked around for a few times and were about to go back to the office, a lively woman ran out of the building and almost bumped into them, "Ah! Sorry, sorry!"
"it does not matter."
As soon as Xiaomai's voice sounded, Zhou Ziqi raised her chin and said in surprise: "Ah! Xiaomai, are you and your boyfriend done with your date? It's only what time now, don't you have some more time to spend with me?"
"No, he's very busy." Xiaomai was too lazy to explain to Zhou Ziqi.
"By the way, I don't want to chat with you anymore. My friend is here to see me. I'll go find him." Zhou Ziqi said.
"Well, go ahead! Let's go back first." After saying that, Xiaomai and Nannan went in and walked towards the elevator.
Just after Xiaomai and the others left, a man walked out from the corner and stared at Xiaomai's back through the glass window of the building...
The man didn't come back to his senses until Xiaomai entered the elevator. Zhou Zi ran up to the man and said jokingly, "Brother Jun, which pretty girl have you taken a fancy to? Your eyes are almost popping out of your head."
"You! You are so naughty. Are the two people who just went in your colleagues?" The man said, tapping Zhou Ziqi's head.
"Yeah! How come you are attracted by her beauty? Let me tell you, I won't act as a matchmaker for you." Zhou Ziqi said with a pout.
"Silly girl, they are not as pretty as you! How was it? Did your first day at work go smoothly?" the man asked with concern.
"It's OK! I just feel that everyone is not very enthusiastic about you. By the way, Brother Jun, what do you want to talk to me about?"
"No, I just had nothing to do at home so I came to see if you are adapting to your new job." said the man.
"Brother Jun is the best. He knows how to care about me." Zhou Ziqi coquettishly nestled in the man's arms and said with a sweet smile.
"You! You are just naughty. Seeing that you are fine, I feel relieved. Go back to work! Go home early after get off work."
"Well, I'll go upstairs first. Goodbye, Brother Jun!" After Zhou Ziqi said this in a sweet voice, she turned around and went back to work.
After Zhou Ziqi left, the man did not leave. Instead, he looked at the building of Qingtian Group and said silently in his heart: "Jiang Xiaomai, I'm back. One day I will get you. He Lingting, our war is not over yet. I will definitely make you pay for what you did..."
He looked at the Skylon Tower quietly for a while, until the phone in his pocket rang, and then he turned and left...
