Chapter 31 Covered with Red Roses
Author: Lu Fangzhi
The senior sister said that the auction information could be found and quickly sent her a link.
Lin Xi clicked in, and it was indeed written that this diamond necklace was finally taken away by a mysterious person. She checked the necklace repeatedly and found that it was indeed the same one.
Nearly five million U.S. dollars, converted to more than thirty million.
This amount of money is not a big sum in Lin Xi's opinion, and it is even less important to Qin Yu, but she feels that they will not be so generous as to give this money to others for no reason.
For a moment, Lin Xi felt that what she was holding was no longer a necklace, but a stack of heavy banknotes.
Qin Yu actually asked her to give such a valuable thing to Lu Bei. Was he doing it for charity?
Putting the necklace back to its original place, Lin Xi called Qin Yu, but unfortunately no one answered...
When Lin Xi came out of the bathroom after writing, she found several missed calls on her cell phone. Without exception, they were all called back by Qin Yu.
Before she could call back, she found a prompt to add friends on WeChat. She took the hand wiping her hair, clicked in, and saw the familiar avatar and name.
It’s Qinyu.
There are only two words to add a note: [Open the door.]
Lin Xi slowly raised her head and looked at the door.
An hour has passed since he called back. Has he been waiting outside?
No, what is he doing again?
Putting down her phone, Lin Xi strode over.
There was nothing moving outside, and she didn't see anyone there through the video doorbell.
Confused, she opened the door slightly and looked out.
The dark corridor was completely lit up with the sound of her opening the door. Looking around, the ground was covered with roses, and there was no end as far as the eye could see.
Thump thump, the heartbeat at this moment was deafening. After fully opening the door, Lin Xi stepped out with dull eyes, but because there was no place to stay, she only took a small step forward and could barely stand.
Just like that, she stood at the door and stood stunned for a few minutes, until the voice-activated light went out. It was like a dream was shattered and everything became dull.
Lin Xi coughed hurriedly, and the light returned to her eyes again.
It's not a dream, the flowers are still there.
The fragrance that hits your face and the red petals are particularly eye-catching, making it impossible to ignore.
After coming back to her senses, Lin Xi was at a loss and didn't know what to do.
Didn't Qin Yu give her a bouquet of roses? What are these for?
Today is Chinese Valentine's Day...
After turning back and getting the phone, Lin Xi passed his friend through and typed for a while before sending the message.
"Third brother, did you make the flowers at the door? Didn't you deliver them during the day? There are too many of them at the door, how should I clean them up?"
The other party seemed to have been waiting for her, and she replied almost instantly, "It's at the door. The bunch you collected during the day has nothing to do with me. Take as much as you like in, and put the rest in the corridor. Someone will take care of it every day."
He responded to every question, but it was also his daily style, concise and to the point. It had not changed at all over the years, as if typing two more words would tire him out.
Lin Xi complained silently and replied in her hand: "Then why did the third brother give me so many flowers? What's the use of leaving them in the corridor?"
Her apartment has two rooms on one floor, and no one lives next door. She is alone on this floor, so she doesn't worry about disturbing anyone, but she doesn't understand the meaning of Qin Yu's actions.
Qin Yu's reply was a bit late this time. Lin Xi brought in more than a dozen flowers before seeing his message.
Qin Yu: "I'm afraid you will be deceived by someone else's bouquet of flowers. Put it in the corridor and you will feel better when you see it when you go to get off work every day."
"..." Lin Xi replied with a string of ellipses, "Am I so easy to deceive?"
Not to mention that she is twenty-four years old now, when she was fourteen she would not have been able to be coaxed around with a bouquet of flowers.
Qin Yu didn't reply, but just said: "The company's bunch will be thrown away tomorrow."
Lin Xi: “I threw it away a long time ago. [Smile]”
"Yeah." It was a cold word, exactly like him. Lin Xi could imagine his expression at this time through the screen.
She curled her lips, followed his example and hummed with a straight face, and then made herself laugh again.
Turning her head, she saw the diamond necklace on the table, took a breath, and almost forgot about the main thing.
"Third brother, you can take that necklace away some other time. It's too valuable. I transferred the money to Lu Bei, so there's no need to return the necklace."
One minute or two minutes after the message was sent out - Lin Xi leaned against the wall, twirling her fingers in boredom.
Five minutes passed and there was still no news.
Her intuition told her that he didn't reply on purpose.
——
Early the next morning, when Lin Xi went out to work, she was still startled by the flowers at the door. She picked up a bunch and took them to the company to put them in a vase.
Lin Xi found yesterday's unclaimed bunch of cards from the drawer and looked at them carefully.
After searching in my memory for a long time, I finally remembered that this was Lu Bei's character.
The handwriting on the card that Qin Yu showed her last time was somewhat similar to this handwriting. It should be Lu Bei. Other than that, no one would give her flowers secretly.
After finishing work in the morning, Lin Xi took the time to send a message to Lu Bei, "I received the flowers, thank you, but I don't like them. Don't give me anything next time. If you keep doing this, I will be very troubled."
"As for your feelings for me, I still say the same thing. You are a nice person, but I have someone I like, so we can't do it."
After the message was sent, she transferred a sum of money to Lu Bei, which was the money for yesterday's bouquet of flowers. Without waiting for the other party's reply, she deleted her friend directly.
In the afternoon, before the lunch break was over, Lin Xi received a call from Cheng Si.
She half-closed her eyes, lay on the chair and squinted for a while before pressing the answer button.
I thought Cheng Si would have nothing serious to do with her, but who knew he wanted to take her on a business trip.
"Me?" Lin Xi opened her eyes and changed her hand to hold the phone. "Can't I use someone else?"
"You are the main person in charge of this project. Who can be more suitable than you? Besides, you don't have to worry. You just need to report the progress to Huasheng and then connect with each other. It will be very easy."
"...Isn't it possible to just find someone to do this kind of thing?" Why does it have to be her?
Cheng Si: "Isn't this for your own good? You have been working so hard recently, so you can take advantage of the business trip to relax and unwind. I will give you three days off. After Huasheng is settled, you can spend two more days in Huaicheng."
Lin Xi closed her eyes again and said in a weak voice, "No need. I'm very relaxed now and don't need to go out to relax. Thank you, boss."
"Do you love your work so much? Are you obsessed with money?"
"Do you think I work for the money? That little salary a month is not enough to put my teeth between my teeth."
"What's that for?"
"Of course it is so that our Xiao Cheng can become a billionaire as soon as possible."
Cheng Si: "..."
