Did this man want to keep her under his nose all the time?
"I do want to tie you to me." Qi Chenglin nodded and admitted, "But I want to pay for you, don't I?"
"Don't put pressure on my colleagues. They finally treat me like an ordinary colleague. We talk and laugh, and the atmosphere is good," Ruan Danchen said.
No matter how Qi Chenglin listened, he felt that her tone was a little disdainful of him. He said gloomily, "Alright, then I don't care."
Ruan Danchen chuckled. "Good boy!"
Qi Chenglin was speechless.
Qi Chenglin hung up the phone. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry and didn't know what to say. He knew that she said "be good" just now to tease him, but he was still depressed.
Ruan Danchen opened the chat window and asked Chen Siyu where they were having lunch.
Chen Siyu: Aren't you eating with the general manager?
Ruan Danchen: He has a social engagement at noon, so bring me along. Isn't it pitiful to leave me alone?
Chen Siyu: Don't pretend to be pitiful. I know. I'll bring you along at noon.
Ruan Danchen smiled and closed the chat window. When it was lunchtime, she followed Chen Siyu and the others to have lunch. When they reached the entrance of the restaurant and saw the name, Ruan Danchen's mouth twitched. "You're here to eat?"
"Yeah. I treated a client to lunch and spent a lot of money here, so the restaurant gave me a 100 yuan voucher. It expires the day after tomorrow. We don't have to spend much money here. It's more cost-effective than eating in the cafeteria, "Chen Siyu explained and held Ruan Danchen's arm." Let's go. "
Ruan Danchen nodded and went in with Chen Siyu and the others.
Because it was near Qi Lin, there were many employees who came to eat there, and the restaurant's business was good at noon.
Chen Siyu found a seat in a corner that wasn't very eye-catching. In fact, Ruan Danchen was also quite embarrassed. She was worried that when she met Qi Chenglin later, she would be misunderstood by him again. She said that she couldn't come, but in fact, she still followed him, as if she was watching him closely.
However, Qi Chenglin came earlier than them and was already in the private room, so they didn't meet.
There were four women in total, and they didn't eat much. They ordered four dishes and a soup.
Ruan Danchen went to the washroom halfway. As she was walking, she heard someone calling her from behind. "Danchen?"
Ruan Danchen was startled. She turned around and saw Chang Jingqiu leisurely walking over.
She wore nude colored ankle boots and a pair of light blue, high-stretch, tight-fitting jeans that accentuated her long and slender legs. A cloak-like loose sweater accentuated her slender figure.
Chang Jingqiu was not tall, only 1.6 meters, much shorter than Ruan Danchen.
Ruan Danchen was wearing flat shoes, while Chang Jingqiu's ankle boots were a little high. She was almost as tall as Ruan Danchen.
Ruan Danchen looked at her calmly. Chang Jingqiu was the kind of petite girl who could wear clothes to look like she was tall and slender. She could wear clothes that made her look like she was 170.
She was indeed worthy of being the daughter of a great family. Even when she was walking, she was still elegant and confident. People couldn't help but take a few more glances.
"I thought she looked like you from the back, but I can't be sure." Chang Jingqiu walked over and smiled. She looked past Ruan Danchen and saw that there were a few private rooms behind her. She said, "I was going to the washroom and didn't expect to see you."
Ruan Danchen heard that and walked to the washroom with her.
"We seem to be fated to meet each other recently. We meet everywhere we go," Chang Jingqiu said with a smile.
"It's quite a coincidence," Ruan Danchen said mildly. She didn't talk much to people she wasn't familiar with.
Towards Chang Jingqiu, she wasn't interested in taking the initiative to talk to her.
Chang Jingqiu chuckled. "Oh yeah, why are you here to eat and talk business?"
"The company is nearby," Ruan Danchen answered.
"Eh? I heard that you're not in City Shi? Did you change places? "Chang Jingqiu was curious.
"Yeah, I'm in Qi Lin," Ruan Danchen answered simply. She didn't want to know more about Chang Jingqiu, nor did she want her to know.
"Qi Lin?" Chang Jingqiu's eyes widened in surprise. Her eyes were filled with smiles.
Ruan Danchen didn't think that Chang Jingqiu liked her, so she couldn't understand why she was so happy.
"You're amazing. I heard that it's very difficult to get into Qi Lin. Those who can get in are all elites in the industry. If you work there for a few years, you'll be recruited by all the big companies if you want to change jobs, and your net worth will multiply. " Chang Jingqiu said with a smile, her eyes sparkling. She didn't know why she was so happy, but she looked proud.
Ruan Danchen was too embarrassed to say that she got in through the back door, so she just smiled awkwardly and didn't dare to boast.
The two of them entered the washroom. Ruan Danchen went to the washroom. Chang Jingqiu came to touch up her makeup.
When Ruan Danchen came out, Chang Jingqiu was still applying lipstick in front of the mirror.
Ruan Danchen came over to wash her hands and didn't want to say anything. She thought of Chang Jingqiu's job and asked, "Oh yeah, are you here for business?"
"No." Chang Jingqiu seemed to have been waiting for Ruan Danchen to ask this question. "My uncle is here for business and wanted to introduce me to him."
"Oh," Ruan Danchen said, understanding. "A blind date."
This was a blind date in disguise. The purpose was not stated directly to avoid awkwardness. It could also be that the person was afraid that the person would not agree, so they let them meet in this way.
Ruan Danchen looked at Chang Jingqiu's blushing face. She didn't mention the awkwardness of the blind date at all. Instead, she couldn't hide the joy in her eyes. "Seems like you're very satisfied with him?"
"It's really hard to find someone as good as him." Chang Jingqiu said. She put the lipstick back into her bag and walked out.
A thought flashed through Ruan Danchen's mind, but it was just a flash, and she couldn't grasp it. She was still in doubt and didn't see Chang Jingqiu looking at her proudly.
Chang Jingqiu only found out today that Ruan Danchen was Qi Lin's employee. It must be fate. Ruan Danchen would probably suck up to her in the future.
"I'm here." Chang Jingqiu stopped outside a private room and pointed at the door. "I'll go in first. I'll invite you out for dinner later."
Ruan Danchen also agreed. She knew that Chang Jingqiu was just being polite.
Treating her to a meal later was the same as saying goodbye.
Chang Jingqiu opened the door and entered. Ruan Danchen looked in subconsciously. There was a middle-aged man facing the door. He should be the uncle that Ruan Danchen mentioned. There was another man with his back facing the door. Ruan Danchen couldn't see his face.
However, Ruan Danchen narrowed her eyes and smirked. She walked away without saying a word. From the corner of her eyes, she saw Chang Jingqiu sitting down beside her uncle.
Ruan Danchen returned to her seat and continued eating. She didn't feel any negative emotions. It was enough for her to trust a man to this extent.
…
When Chang Jingqiu returned to her seat, Chang Zhiyuan laughed and said, "I like working with straightforward people like you. We've always had a good time working together. I hope we can continue working together in the future."
Qi Chenglin smiled indifferently and didn't show any expression.
Chang Jingqiu looked at his face that was as clear as the moon. His relaxed brows made her heart beat faster.
She had always thought that the words "handsome young master" were only suitable to be described in novels. But when Qi Chenglin was here, this was the first word that came to her mind. She couldn't think of any other suitable words to describe him.
She couldn't help but wonder how Qi Chenglin would have looked like when he was young.
This man didn't look like a man who had a seven-year-old son at all. Or it should be said that even if he had a son, it didn't diminish his charm at all. His charm was great enough to make women ignore the fact that he had such a big son. They were even willing to be a stepmother to be with him.
After eating and drinking to his heart's content, Chang Zhiyuan took out a cigarette and personally lit it for Qi Chenglin.
Qi Chenglin did not decline, nor did he stand on ceremony with him. He sat steadily in his seat and waited for Chang Zhiyuan to lean over and light his cigarette for him with an indifferent expression. He did not care that Chang Zhiyuan was old enough to be his father.
This scene made Chang Jingqiu feel a little unkind. It felt like an old eunuch serving the emperor.
Her uncle was so humble, but Chang Jingqiu wasn't angry at all.
Chang Jingqiu's gaze moved from his relaxed brows to his long fingers. He was still holding a cigarette between his long fingers. His hand was casually placed on the table, and she watched as he lightly tapped the cigarette with his long fingers, flicking the ash off.
This was an action that any man would do, but when used on Qi Chenglin, it made him look even more handsome.
He sat upright, exuding a casual and lazy aura. Chang Jingqiu felt that no matter what Qi Chenglin said or did, she would like it.
Seeing Qi Chenglin take a drag of the cigarette and exhale a faint white smoke, Chang Zhiyuan laughed again. "President Qi, Jingqiu is now a reporter for the financial newspaper. I know that you don't usually accept interviews, but there are countless reporters who want to interview you. I wonder if President Qi can make things convenient for Jingqiu?"
Qi Chenglin glanced at Chang Jingqiu, and Chang Jingqiu looked back at him with a dignified and dignified smile.
Qi Chenglin squinted his eyes and extinguished the cigarette, which made Chang Zhiyuan stunned. Qi Chenglin had just taken a drag.
As if he could see Chang Zhiyuan's doubt, Qi Chenglin smiled casually. "I just remembered that I promised my fiancée that if I'm not under too much pressure, I would try to smoke less. I took a drag out of habit, but I stopped when I remembered what she said. "
Hearing that he had a fiancée, and not even a girlfriend, Chang Zhiyuan and Chang Jingqiu's smiles froze. Why didn't they know that Qi Chenglin had a fiancée?
Qi Chenglin and Ruan Danchen didn't hide it, but they didn't deliberately publicize it either. They just let it happen naturally, so not many people knew.
Chang Zhiyuan smiled awkwardly. "Haha, it's like this. President Qi has a fiancée, but I've never heard of it. "
"I've already met my family, so I didn't deliberately publicize it. But the wedding has to be grand," Qi Chenglin explained patiently.
Chang Zhiyuan wanted to find out more about Qi Chenglin's fiancée, but he was skeptical about this news. He did want to introduce Chang Jingqiu to Qi Chenglin.
Chang Jingqiu was his niece. Because her parents passed away when she was young, she was brought into the Chang Family and took her mother's surname. Because of some things, Chang Jingqiu was very doted on at home. The Old Madam of the Chang Family would grant Chang Jingqiu every request and treated this granddaughter better than her own grandchildren.
And Chang Zhiyuan had always had a good relationship with his late sister and treated Chang Jingqiu like his own daughter.
Now, Chang Zhiyuan suspected that Qi Chenglin was using the fiancée as an excuse. But before he could ask, Qi Chenglin said, "If Miss Chang wants an interview, you can make an appointment with my assistant."
Before Chang Jingqiu could rejoice, she saw him raise his hand to look at his watch.
Chang Zhiyuan also understood and ended this disguised blind date at noon.
…
"Danchen, isn't that the General Manager?" Chen Siyu was drinking her soup when she raised her head to chat with Ruan Danchen. Suddenly, she saw Qi Chenglin, Chang Zhiyuan, and Chang Jingqiu walking towards the door slightly behind Ruan Danchen.
They were sitting at the corner, and from this position, they could see the people coming and going from the entrance. And the people on the other side would not notice them easily.
Ruan Danchen also turned around, not afraid of being seen by Qi Chenglin. But at this moment, the three of them did not notice her.
She did not know if it was intentional, but Chang Jingqiu walked beside Qi Chenglin.
Although she was 160cm tall and was wearing high heels, she still looked cute and helpless beside Qi Chenglin. Now, her eyes were slightly lowered, and she walked beside Qi Chenglin very gently with a gentle smile on her lips.
In the eyes of those who did not know the truth, such a scene was really harmonious. The man was handsome and the woman was beautiful.
Chen Siyu frowned. "I think that woman is up to no good. She is so close to the General Manager. Didn't the General Manager say that there was a lunch meeting at noon? Don't tell me it's a blind date. "
"Yeah, it seems like a blind date." Ruan Danchen smiled and continued to drink her soup.
"I say, why aren't you anxious? Why don't you greet the General Manager and declare your sovereignty? Tell that woman that you are the General Manager's girlfriend and tell him not to think about it?" Chen Siyu said noisily, "I think that woman's gaze is not right. She is purposely putting on a coquettish look, but she is full of admiration for the General Manager."
Chen Siyu was not exaggerating. Ruan Danchen could also see that although Chang Jingqiu appeared to be quite reserved, anyone with a discerning eye could see that she was full of feelings for Qi Chenglin.
Ruan Danchen felt a little stifled, but she was not worried. She turned around and continued to drink her soup. "There's no hurry. He won't be interested in her anyway. I am still very confident in your General Manager. Before I knew him, he was single and there were many women who liked him, but I have never seen him like anyone. After he got together with me, I have not seen him being nice to other women. Look at him now wearing sunglasses and looking cold. He did not even pay attention to that girl. It is that girl who is hot headed can't be blamed on him. He knows what he is doing. "
Chen Siyu now understood a little why Qi Chenglin liked Ruan Danchen.
Actually, she understood the reason. Men did not like women who were too fussy and strict about everything. They would get jealous and go crazy at the slightest sign of trouble. However, when a woman loved deeply, she could not help it.
The more she cared, the more she would lose control.
If it was any other woman who was as outstanding as Qi Chenglin, she would have been worried about personal gains and losses. If a man was too outstanding, even if he did not have the intention, there would still be women who would rush in front of him and chase after him. If it was any other woman, she would fight with Qi Chenglin at the slightest sign of trouble.
In this situation, Chen Siyu was very sure that if it was someone else, they would have already rushed over. At least if it was her, she would definitely do so.
Even if Qi Chenglin was not interested in that girl, just based on the girl's affection for Qi Chenglin, she would have to strangle her to death in her seedling. However, sometimes, doing so would inevitably embarrass the man. After being embarrassed too many times, naturally, he would be dissatisfied.
Both parties would get tired and their feelings would become weaker. In the end, there would only be arguments.
"I understand the reason, but there are really very few people who can do what you do." Chen Siyu did not look at Qi Chenglin. Anyway, Ruan Danchen was not worried.
Seeing that she had a good appetite, Chen Siyu continued to eat with her.
"That's right. I am already so old, but I can't be as calm as Danchen," Sister Du said.
Ruan Danchen smiled. She was very relaxed. She was really not worried. "That is because he does well. He never does anything that makes me worry. He keeps his distance from women. As long as he feels that the other party has the slightest intention, he will immediately say that he is someone with a girlfriend and not give them a chance. He never looks at other women. The more they show that they like him, the more he will not be nice to them. He never hides our identities. Actually, when we first came to Qi Lin, I was the one who suggested to hide it. Instead, he wanted everyone to know. "
Ruan Danchen put down her spoon. She couldn't eat anymore. "He's done everything he could and should have done. If I still doubt him and argue with him over the slightest provocation, wouldn't that hurt his feelings? He has done so much, but he can't gain my trust. How can that be? "
Although Qi Chenglin was usually jealous of her, it was only in private and also meant to be a joke, so Ruan Danchen was never annoyed.
She was even secretly happy because he was jealous from time to time because this man cared about her.
"He said that he is here for a business meeting this afternoon. I think he is afraid that Chenglin will definitely not agree to a blind date alone. So, he came up with a blind date in disguise. They are still discussing business. I can't embarrass him in front of his clients, "Ruan Danchen said as she rested her chin on her hand.
Chen Siyu gave her a thumbs up in admiration. "I really have to give you a like. Therefore, not everyone could subdue a man of the highest quality like the general manager. Even if they really get together, it depends on whether they can hold it or not. Without a big heart like yours, they will have to break up sooner or later. "
…
Qi Chenglin, Chang Zhiyuan and Chang Jingqiu stood at the door. Since they had finished talking, Chang Zhiyuan and Chang Jingqiu had no reason to follow Qi Chenglin back to Qi Lin, so the three of them stood at the door and said goodbye.
"Hehehe, I had a good talk this afternoon. Let's contact each other again." Chang Zhiyuan said and shook hands with Qi Chenglin. "My niece is still young. If anything happens, I still need you to take care of her."
"Young Master Lin, thank you for the interview." Chang Jingqiu smiled politely, but she could not hide her love for Qi Chenglin.
Qi Chenglin smiled faintly and did not answer her directly.
Chang Jingqiu might have misunderstood his answer. He asked her to contact Jiang Yuan, but it was just an appointment. It was up to him whether he had time to see her or not.
He agreed to let her make the appointment, but he did not agree to let her make the appointment.
Now that Chang Jingqiu had misunderstood, Qi Chenglin did not explain, so he would let her misunderstand and save her trouble.
