Chapter 23: Actually Prepared
Today, the company's employees planned to have a picnic by the stream. Lu Qianning went downstairs with the words "Wait for me tonight" in her mind, and happened to see them negotiating with the hotel about what they needed for the picnic.
Seeing her coming, someone invited her to have a picnic together.
"Okay." Lu Qianning rarely participates in such mass activities. She is usually busy with work and has few friends. She stays with Zhou Beijing most of the time during team building.
It was rare to be free today. When she walked out of the hotel, the sun was blazing overhead, and even the breeze was warm. It took some of her headache away, and she felt much better.
Girls always come to join in the fun of group activities, so Lu Qianning was dragged into gossip by a group of girls.
Discussion: Does Zhou Beijing love Hua Yunran or not?
"It stands to reason that since Miss Hua has been back for so long, Mr. Zhou should divorce her and marry her."
"Who says it's not the case? Look at how badly Ms. Hua was scolded by the news last time. I heard that the Hua family suppressed the news, and Mr. Zhou didn't take any action."
"Sister Qian Ning, why is this? Doesn't Mr. Zhou like Miss Hua?"
Lu Qianning originally planned to be a quiet audience, but several girls couldn't figure it out after discussing for a long time, so they just threw the problem to her.
Her clear eyes trembled slightly, she pursed her lips and said, "Emotions are Mr. Zhou's private matter, and I don't know much about it."
"Sister Qian Ning follows Mr. Zhou everywhere, so she must know Mr. Zhou very well. Just take a guess!"
"It doesn't matter if you guess wrong, we won't tell others anyway!"
Lu Qianning smiled lightly, "I'm not afraid that you will tell others, I really can't guess it."
Her eyes were clear and her heart was a little sour. She really couldn't guess what Zhou Beijing was thinking.
"I guess...Mr. Zhou doesn't like Miss Hua." Someone whispered.
Lu Qianning raised his eyes slightly and looked over following the voice. It was Xiaoyan from the secretarial department. She usually spoke very little, but suddenly her remarks at this time aroused the curiosity of others.
"Why do you say that?"
Xiaoyan turned around and looked around to make sure there was no one else before saying, "I accidentally bumped into Miss Hua and Mr. Hua talking in the corridor this morning. Miss Hua cried very sadly, saying that although Mr. Zhou slept in the same room with her,
Playing all night for two nights in a row, the two of us have nothing to do."
The implicit vocabulary can be understood by adults, and Lu Qianning, an insider, instantly understood the point of Hua Yunran's collapse.
Full of joy, she asked her to book a room for them. Three nights passed in the blink of an eye and two nights passed without even touching a hair.
According to Zhou Beijing, there are plans for tonight. Hua Yunran is probably destined to be sad during this trip.
"I think...Zhou is always seeking revenge on Miss Hua, right?"
"Revenge for leaving President Zhou alone six years ago?"
"Is it possible that when she comes back, Mr. Zhou will have to take over? There must be a gap in a person's heart, but the revenge is because he has Miss Hua in his heart, right? According to this, after being angry, don't you have to coax him back?"
Lu Qianning couldn't get involved in the topic they were discussing, because he couldn't figure it out, and even their words affected their mood, so he simply stood up and prepared to leave.
"You guys play here, I'll go look around."
She looked at the map of the resort and saw a sea of flowers further along the creek. Someone from the company had been there yesterday, so she went to see it alone.
Before she reached the scene, she smelled the fragrance of flowers in the air. The sun was shining and the breeze was blowing. Lu Qianning's eyes were filled with colors. The colorful flowers were seamlessly connected with the blue sky and white clouds. It was a visual feast that made her feel happy.
suddenly see the light.
She actually stayed alone in the sea of flowers for a whole day, not even having lunch. She didn't go back to the stream until the evening, and followed the others back to the hotel for dinner. From a distance, she saw Zhou Beijing and others sitting at a table.
Already eating.
With a sweet smile on her face, Hua Yunran stood next to Zhou Beijing, who showed no emotion. When she saw everyone coming back, she stood up and said hello, as if they were her employees.
Lu Qianning caught a glimpse of several employees winking secretly, raising their brows slightly, and sat down with Zhou Beijing and the others along with a few old employees.
As soon as he sat down, Hua Yunran said, "You must be tired after playing all day today, right?"
Everyone was a little tired as they echoed each other's words. They played games on the grass after dinner, which consumed a lot of energy!
"Then let's all have a good rest tonight, but it's the last night, so we can't stay up any longer." Hua Yunran pretended to be playful and winked, then glanced at Gu Nan.
Gu Nan said wisely, "I won't stay up, I have to sleep. I have something to do when I return to Jiangcheng tomorrow afternoon, so I can't lose energy!"
Hua Yufeng nodded and said, "I'll leave tomorrow morning and won't be with you. I'm very busy. I need to go to bed early tonight."
Hua Yunran bit her lower lip and looked at Zhou Beijing cautiously, "Then, let's rest early tonight."
"I have something to do tonight." Zhou Beijing opened his thin lips, cruelly destroying Hua Yunran's expectations, but he looked sideways at Hua Yunran with warm eyes and said, "You should go to bed earlier and don't have to wait for me."
Neither of the two people spoke very loudly, and only the people at this table could hear it. There were two female employees beside Lu Qianning who were gossiping together by the stream. The two people immediately looked at each other, and then
He quickly lowered his head and pretended not to understand anything.
Hua Yunran's face turned pale, and she pursed her lips tightly for a while before saying, "What can happen to you? This is not a company."
Lu Qianning raised her eyelids slightly and looked at Zhou Beijing. She was also curious about how Zhou Beijing would send Hua Yunran away. If she couldn't come up with a serious reason today, Hua Yunran probably wouldn't be able to let him go.
As expected, Zhou Beijing looked straight at her in the next second, and said in an indifferent tone, "I'm going to ask Assistant Lu."
Lu Qianning:???
In an instant, more than ten people on the entire table looked towards her.
Lu Qianning's throat trembled, and she responded quickly to report, "Miss Hua, there is an international conference to be held tonight. It has been delayed for several days. The foreign party called me several times today to confirm the time. It's about
The recent discussion on the project of Beizhou Rushing International is very important, and Mr. Zhou’s mother and father will also attend the video conference.”
"No wonder Assistant Lu has been answering the phone this morning. It turned out to be to confirm the meeting." The female employee on the side saw Lu Qianning answering the phone several times, confirming something in fluent foreign languages.
Lu Qianning nodded to the female employee, "Yes."
Hua Yunran wanted to say something else, but Zhou Beijing said softly, "Go and urge the kitchen to serve the food quickly. Once you're full, go to the meeting. Don't be late."
Lu Qianning responded, got up and went to the kitchen to urge him.
She didn't know what Hua Yunran said later, but when she came back, Hua Yunran's disappointment filled the entire restaurant. Everyone was silent, and even the employees at other tables rarely spoke.
After finishing the meal, Lu Qianning felt depressed. After the meal, she quickly went back to the room to prepare for the meeting. Within two minutes, Zhou Beijing came over.
Seeing that she had prepared notebooks and meeting materials, her eyes darkened slightly and her thin lips raised, "I'm actually really prepared."
Lu Qianning sneered in her heart. When she heard Xiaoyan say that Hua Yunran was crying in the corridor during the day, she knew that it would not be so easy to deceive him tonight, so she took the initiative to call abroad and move the video conference to tonight.
I don’t know if Zhou Beijing knew her well or deliberately tricked her by leaving this problem to her to solve.
Fortunately, she kept it in reserve, but she did not dare to show her displeasure in front of Zhou Beijing. She just smiled and said, "Mr. Zhou, please sit down first and I will make you a cup of coffee."
Zhou Beijing placed the document in his hand on the coffee table and leaned lazily on the sofa.
When Lu Qianning came back with coffee, she was fascinated by the figure under the warm yellow light.
He was wearing a light gray sportswear, with deep and cold facial features, and a slight alienation in his long eyes. The reflection of the light cast a shadow on his face, but his facial features became more three-dimensional and unique.
He was reading the information carefully, but he didn't notice that Lu Qianning was engrossed in it for a few seconds, then he came back to his senses, brought the coffee over, and sat down across from him.
"Mr. Zhou, the main focus of this meeting is to report on the achievements of the Northern Zhou project after its completion, and how confident we are about this project..."
When it comes to work, even if the two of them are not wearing professional attire and have the huge bed behind them, they still talk seriously and seriously.
It wasn't until half an hour later that the meeting officially started. Lu Qianning was quietly taking minutes of the meeting from the side. Most of the time, Zhou Beijing was talking to the people on the computer in fluent English.
Suddenly, someone knocked on the door. Zhou Beijing raised his eyes and glanced at her. She immediately put down the pen in her hand knowingly and stood up to open the door.
It was Hua Yunran. She squeezed in from Lu Qianning with a plate of fruit. She paused behind Zhou Beijing and saw that there was indeed a video conference on the computer in front of him. Then she put the fruit down and turned around to whisper.
Lu Qianning said, "Qianning, how long will your meeting last?"
"It's hard to say." Lu Qianning's answer was ambiguous. "If the foreign parties understand and receive the data we provide quickly, it will take at least four hours. If they still have questions and disputes, then the time cannot be determined."
Hua Yunran said "Oh" with some disappointment, pointed to the fruit on the table with a smile, "I was worried that you would be hungry, so I brought it here specially for you."
"Thank you." Lu Qianning thanked him, but Hua Yunran did not leave. He sat down on the bed and rubbed his feet on the ground. It seemed that he was not ready to leave.
Lu Qianning could only go back and close the door, then sit down in front of the coffee table again and continue recording the meeting.
The working time passed quickly, and the starry sky outside the window was full. Hua Yunran moved from the bed to the bay window and sat there, looking at the scenery from time to time, looking back at Lu Qianning and Zhou Beijing, feeling a little disappointed, and then continued to look at the scenery.
It was early morning in the blink of an eye. Lu Qianning turned around and found Hua Yunran asleep on the bay window, with her legs curled up together and her head leaning against the window. Her little figure looked a little pitiful.
She glanced at Zhou Beijing. The man had drank four cups of coffee, with a trace of tiredness on his brows. He was still talking to the person on the other end of the computer. Maybe he noticed her gaze, and Zhou Beijing raised his eyes.
.
She pointed at the bay window. Zhou Beijing seemed to understand something. He took out his mobile phone and fiddled with it for a few times before putting it down.
After a while, the door rang.
Lu Qianning was confused and opened the door at Zhou Beijing's signal. It was Hua Yufeng. He nodded to Lu Qianning and then came in, picked up Hua Yunran on the bay window, and strode out of the room.
Lu Qianning closed the door and went back to continue the meeting. The man's magnetic voice spoke fluent English as if playing a beautiful hypnotic charm, and her eyelids became heavier and heavier.
