Chapter 6(1/2)
"You——" Lu Keran didn't expect that she would step on her weak spot when she opened her mouth.
In the past two years, He Wen's father was sick and hospitalized, and several other directors of the company were ready to take action. She was busy helping He Wen take care of the company's affairs, working overtime every three days, sometimes socializing and drinking, and adding makeup, her skin would definitely be damaged.
Compared with before.
Especially when she was running this collaborative project recently, she hadn't slept well for several days, and a lot of pimples broke out on her forehead, so she added several layers of foundation to cover them up.
With such a skin condition, there was no way to compare with the person in front of her, not to mention that she remembered that she was two years younger than her.
And after these two years, she seems to have become more beautiful, with both her skin and figure remaining in the best condition.
Lu Keran already regretted calling her out loud, but in this situation, she was really worried if she didn't ask clearly: "Didn't you go abroad?
When did you come back and are you in H City now?"
"What's the matter, are you so concerned about me?
Want to invite me to dinner?"
She looked at each other with a half-smile.
Lu Keran was criticized twice, and he suppressed his eagerness to know the answer: "Looking at what you said, I used to care about you very much. You are still a friend after all. It's normal to care about you so rarely.
where do you work now?
It's hard to get ahead in the designer profession if you don't have a way out. If you encounter any difficulties, don't be polite and just come to me.
You also know that I have helped Xiao Wen take care of Yaren in the past few years. Apart from other things, it is no problem to introduce you to a high-paying job."
Jiang Weicheng heard what she said and suddenly grasped the key point: "You can't be... you haven't settled He Wen yet, right?"
"..."
Jiang Weicheng didn't say anything this time, he just looked her up and down, then smiled meaningfully, turned around and walked towards the store, leaving Lu Keran standing there with a gloomy expression.
A moment later, someone called her from behind: "Keran! What's wrong?"
Lu Keran froze and turned around unnaturally: "You, why are you here? I just asked you to wait for me in the car?"
"I thought you didn't find it. Come and take a look. Why are you standing here?"
With his trousers pockets inserted, he looked past her to the store behind her.
Lu Keran almost jumped up. She hurriedly waved the bag in her hand towards him: "I bought it. Let's get back to the car. It will take several hours to drive back to S City!"
On the way back, Lu Keran's thoughts were racing. She looked at He Wen Qingjun's thin but still elegant profile, and suddenly felt tired of such a distance that was expected but not within reach.
She knew he was waiting for her.
In the past two years, although he had never mentioned Jiang Weicheng to her once, she knew that he had been waiting for her.
He rarely goes out to parties and spends most of his time at work. Especially this year, he wants to work 24 hours a day.
This is how his stomachache came about. He had irregular meals, socializing and drinking. It was the same today. He didn't have time to eat lunch, and the stomachache suddenly broke out again.
"Is it worth it for you? She can't see it or know it at all."
He took a sip of water, swallowed the medicine, frowned and looked at her in surprise: "Keran..." He didn't understand why she suddenly said this.
He didn't say much, but his attitude could not be clearer.
She was silent for a moment, but couldn't help but say: "It's been more than two years, I may have a new boyfriend long ago!"
"Stop talking, Keran!"
"It makes no sense at all--"
"enough."
He Wen braked, turned on the double jump lights and parked the car on the side of the road.
There was dead silence in the car. Lu Keran looked out the window and said no more.
In the past two years, his temper has not been as gentle as before, and sometimes he becomes gloomy and even she is a little scared.
"I don't want to hear you say this anymore."
He dropped these words and restarted the car.
Lu Keran once thought that after Jiang Weicheng left, He Wen would see her goodness one day, but no matter how much she did or how long she stayed with him, he always only regarded her as family.
If he knew that Jiang Weicheng was back...
Lu Keran frowned, she couldn't let him know under any circumstances - at least, not before she really got him.
A glint flashed across her eyes. Originally, she didn't want to use this method, but she couldn't wait any longer.
The design circle is so big that he can't meet her today. As long as she is still in the country, sooner or later he will know about it.
She must cut off their last chance.
Having made up his mind, Lu Keran's lips curved into a smile that was determined to win.
Didn't Jiang Weicheng just laugh at her that she hadn't figured out He Wen yet?
Haha, let her show it to her now!
In the private room of the BBQ restaurant, the table was already full with drinks and meals.
Jiang Weicheng can drink a little wine, and she has drank sake before. When her new colleague proposed a toast, she naturally drank it.
However, the sake in this yakiniku restaurant is probably specially made, and it doesn’t smell very strong. After a few glasses, the alcohol gradually gets stronger.
When the dinner was about to end, Huo Xichen sent a WeChat message, saying that he had already had dinner and completed the work she asked. Because tomorrow was the weekend, he knew that she might stay up late and asked her what she wanted for breakfast tomorrow. He was used to early mornings.
I went for a morning run to a small apartment nearby, and I just happened to take some with me on the way back.
Jiang Weicheng's head was slightly dizzy and he was not in a good mood. He didn't want to type and replied directly: "It's okay. You don't need to buy my breakfast tomorrow. I will probably sleep very late tomorrow."
She probably knew her state. They would have to go to karaoke later and they would be late today.
However, this was a necessary gathering in the workplace, and it was to welcome her newcomer, so she would definitely not be able to leave midway.
It took a while before the other party responded, this time with a voice message: "Teacher Jiang, are you dating a friend?"
It's the weekend, that person should make an appointment with her.
The boy's magnetic voice sounded in his ears, as if he was just out of curiosity.
She laughed and replied: "I will be very late today for a company dinner. Just remember to close the courtyard door and the front door before going to bed. Don't lock it from behind."
This time he responded quickly: "Are you drunk, Teacher Jiang?"
"Well, let's drink some. Okay, we have to change places. You should have a rest early."
A colleague on the side was asking about the private room on the phone. By the time she finished her voice message, the private room had almost been booked over there.
Master Hao bought the order and put the invoice into a small packet. Newcomers like this are welcome to have dinner parties and activities. The company reimburses them without AA, so everyone is very enthusiastic about it. Plus on weekends, they will basically renew the stall.
At around ten o'clock in the evening, it started to rain in the night sky. The design team came out of the building after finishing their stall and stood at the door to say goodbye to each other.
Hao Zhushe drank a lot and could not drive. A colleague who lived in the same direction as her drove her car and took her and another colleague who was passing by to take the lead.
There was another person among my colleagues who had a car. He didn't drink, so he said he could give a few people a ride back.
Jiang Weicheng's residence and several people were not on the same road. If the other party wanted to see her off, she would have to take a detour. The other party asked her for her address. She was hesitating whether to refuse or not when she suddenly looked up and saw a familiar tall and thin figure diagonally across the road.
The young man was holding an umbrella and standing at the door of a 24-hour small supermarket chain. He was holding a mobile phone in one hand. Seeing that she seemed to have seen him, he hurriedly cut off the phone and raised his hand to wave to her.
The colleague was still asking her for her address. She smiled at him and said, "Thank you, but no need to bother. My assistant is here to pick me up. See you at the company on Monday!"
The male colleague was also surprised by Jiang Weicheng's bright smile. The latter had already stepped into the light rain and walked quickly towards the supermarket diagonally opposite.
The distance was far away, and the line of sight was not clear on a rainy night. Several people could only tell in front of them that the person walking towards Jiang Weicheng on the opposite side should be a young boy. He had a tall and straight figure, long legs and strong temperament.
Very impressive.
"Jiang She actually has an assistant?"
A designer assistant said with some envy that she was only one year younger than Jiang Weicheng, but she was still working as an assistant, while the other person was already a senior designer.
"After all, she is a designer hired by the company on her own initiative. I heard that she spent two years at XX Academy in Italy. It is difficult to get into that school, and she also won several good design awards."
Another designer assistant said.
"But even so, it's a bit excessive to land the position of senior designer just after arriving..." She said, deliberately looking at Designer Chen who was about to pick up the car.
The other person has been at Ruodun for three years and is still an ordinary designer. He originally thought he would be promoted to a senior designer after this project, but unexpectedly, he came by air.
She didn't do herself any good by saying this. At best, she stated her position and quietly provoked her.
In the workplace, there are many people who do this. Even if it is obviously not beneficial to them, they will still be secretly happy when they see outstanding people being squeezed out.
Another designer assistant sighed and didn't want to interface.
But Chen Zheng was obviously not listening at this moment. His eyes were still chasing the young boy, but at this moment the two of them had walked a little further and could hardly see clearly.
"What's wrong, the furnishings?"
Another designer assistant asked curiously.
"It's nothing, I just feel that Jiang Weicheng's assistant looks a bit familiar. I seem to have seen him somewhere..."
Chen Zheng thought for a long time, and his eyes suddenly widened in surprise. He, he remembered!
