To look deeply into
Chapter 14
"Sis," Qiao Mo received a call from Qiao Mei during his lunch break. He was flattered.
"Momo, I'm coming to City S tomorrow." Qiao Mei smiled as she walked out of the airport.
Surprised, Qiao Mo asked, "How come you have time to come back?"
"Ming Yu's movie is being filmed in City S, so I decided to visit you."
"Oh, so I'm just here to visit you," she said coquettishly.
"You're so much better than Qiao Zhi. I didn't even plan to tell him, but I think we'll be seeing each other."
Qiao Mei did whatever she wanted. No one could stop her. It was as if she was born to go with the wind. Qiao Mo was very envious of her personality, but he didn't dare to learn from her.
"Sis, I'll pick you up."
"No, I'm busy. Wait for my call. I'll go find you."
"Okay, take care of yourself."
"Okay."
After hanging up the phone, she walked up to the man. Her windbreaker fluttered in the wind, and her long hair covered her face. She was the only one wearing a tight skirt under the cold wind.
The man took off his coat and hugged her. He stuffed her into the car and said, "You're just relying on me to pamper you."
"Ha." She didn't reply and turned to look out the window.
After hanging up the phone, Qiao Mo looked at the code on the screen and lost interest. Xu Yaxi noticed and knocked on her desk with a pen. "Are we going to eat hotpot after work?"
Qiao Mo was not interested at all. He replied lazily, "I don't feel like going."
"Is the CEO's date holding you back?"
"Hey, don't talk nonsense!"
Xu Yaxi covered her mouth and laughed secretly. She looked at her seriously. "It's so cold, but the CEO's embrace is warmer than hotpot."
Qiao Mo glared at her. Xu Yaxi shrunk her neck and sat back down obediently.
When it was time for work in the afternoon, Zhang Yang came to look for Qiao Mo.
He was handsome and elegant, and his words were polite. He asked Qiao Mo, "My computer hasn't been working well recently. Can you help me fix it?"
At this time, Lian Cheng walked in with a well-dressed and serious look. Xu Yaxi was the first to see him. He greeted him loudly and explained the situation at the scene.
"Aiya, it's so lively in our department today. The HR manager and the CEO's assistant are both here. They must be here to look for Qiao Mo. Our company's equipment is quite good. Why are there so many people looking for us to fix our computers?"
Both Gu Qing Sheng and Zhang Yang were implicated in the conversation, but Lian Cheng was not angry at all. Instead, he walked straight to Qiao Mo and looked at Zhang Yang from head to toe. Then, he said, "The CEO wants to see you upstairs." Lian Cheng was not angry at all.
Before Qiao Mo could say anything, Xu Yaxi said, "Why don't we ask the CEO to change his computer? He has asked Qiao Mo to go up five times in the past few days."
Lian Cheng's mouth twitched. He tried to hold back his laughter.
Ever since she colluded with Xu Yaxi to gossip about Gu Qingsheng and Qiao Mo's relationship, she accidentally let it slip and found out that Gu Qingsheng majored in finance and computer science at university, she couldn't help but complain that the CEO was too unoriginal.
A colleague beside her said, "It's not like Qiao Mo is the only one who knows how to fix a computer. Why is she the only one who can do it?"
Zhang Yang had also heard about the scandal between Qiao Mo and the CEO recently, so he hurried over to find out more.
In his eyes, Qiao Mo was an obedient and serious girl with a strong family background. If he could marry such a girl, it would be a blessing.
Lian Cheng tried hard to hold back his laughter. He explained, "It's not about the computer. It's a personal matter."
Qiao Mo was curious. "What personal matter?"
Last weekend, she had met his mother at his house and pretended to be his girlfriend. In the end, he had flirted with her and dug up their relationship history. It was personal enough.
"You'll know when you go up."
Lian Cheng's tone was malicious. Xu Yaxi glanced at him and asked with his eyes, "What is the CEO playing at?"
Lian Cheng received the message perfectly. He pretended not to understand and looked at Qiao Mo as if he would continue to waste time if she didn't go up.
"Okay."
Qiao Mo agreed. There was nothing she could do even if she didn't agree. She said politely to Zhang Yang, "I'm sorry. My colleagues will handle it. You can ask them to help you."
Xu Yaxi immediately stood up and said dutifully, "Manager, I can …" Then she received a sharp look from Lian Cheng. She immediately changed her words and said softly, "… I can help you find someone with better skills. For example, this colleague beside me."
She immediately pulled up her colleague, who was watching the show and was confused, and used him as a shield.
After Lian Cheng and Qiao Mo left, she patted her chest and said, "Oh my God, what's with that look? What's my relationship with him? How can he be so nosy …"
Zhang Yang smiled gently and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you."
Xu Yaxi waved her hand casually and said, "You have an ulterior motive. It's definitely not a big deal. Don't worry, anyone in our department can handle it."
He didn't hold back and said, "Yes, thank you."
When they entered Gu Qingsheng's office, they didn't see anyone. Qiao Mo turned to look at Lian Cheng, who happened to appear behind her and said, "Lian Cheng, you can leave first."
Lian Cheng suppressed the excitement in his heart and made space for his boss.
Qiao Mo turned to look at him coming out of the lounge and asked, "Lian Cheng said you have a personal question for me?"
"Yes."
He walked over and pulled her to sit on the sofa. He picked up the teapot on the table and poured her a cup of tea. "I want to ask if you're single and if you need a boyfriend."
Knowing that he was teasing her again, Qiao Mo stood up and was about to leave when he grabbed her wrist and pulled her down to sit beside him. He said, "Okay, I have a question about you. It might involve your privacy."
"Ask away."
Qiao Mo looked into his eyes and realized that his pupils were darker than the average person's. They were deep and seductive.
"The Chinese Calligraphy Master, who is Wei Shi to you?"
Attracted by his deep eyes, she answered almost instinctively, "He's my grandfather and my teacher."
Then she immediately reacted and asked him, "Why are you asking this?"
He smiled roguishly and leaned closer to her. "Hello, Junior. I'm your senior and boss, Gu Qingsheng."
"Senior?"
She narrowed her eyes and tried to see him clearly because she wasn't wearing glasses. "That's impossible. I know all of my grandfather's students. He said that he doesn't accept any more students."
"This question … uh … he also told me that he doesn't accept any more students. But when I was in university, he came to visit. At that time, the principal asked me to write a calligraphy couplet to hang in the lecture hall. The old man liked my calligraphy and asked to see me. After that, we got to know each other. The old man often talks about you and says that you're his most beloved granddaughter among the younger generation. But you're also the most stubborn and unwilling to compromise with your family to study finance. You're often mischievous behind your big brother."
He leaned close to her ear and said softly, "I didn't expect us to know each other so early. Now it seems that it's all fate."
Qiao Mo couldn't stand this kind of intimacy. She pressed her hand against his chest and sat slightly to the side. "Sit properly first."
But not only did he not listen to her, he even reached out to support himself on the sofa and trapped her in his arms. He looked down at her professional suit and said hoarsely, "Qiao Mo, I want to discuss with you when we're going to visit our teacher together."
She leaned back completely against the sofa and put some distance between them. "Why do we have to go together?"
He felt a little helpless. It seemed that he had to make her agree quickly. Otherwise, no matter what he did, it would be unjustified. He felt a little guilty and embarrassed.
"Qiao Mo, my mother called me this morning and asked me when I would bring you to meet my father."
"Huh?" Qiao Mo's face turned bitter. "I haven't agreed to it yet. You said it yourself, so you have to cover up your own lies."
Gu Qingsheng finally realized that he had to be serious about his status so that she would no longer have an excuse to avoid him. "Don't you think that we're no different from a couple now?"
Qiao Mo thought about it and felt that they were being too intimate. Hence, she said, "Then hurry up and stay away from me."
"…"
He took a deep breath and laughed helplessly. Finally, he let go of her and said, "You can go back."
When Qiao Mo rushed back to the sixteenth floor, she realized that something was wrong. She thought about it and couldn't figure out anything, so she gave up.
However, from that day onwards, Qiao Mo didn't see Gu Qingsheng again.
He didn't wake her up for breakfast, and the chauffeur picked her up at work and after work. He didn't call her or even text her.
It was as if he had suddenly disappeared from her sight.
Xu Yaxi realized this before she did. She proactively asked about the progress of her relationship with the CEO.
In the end, she slapped Qiao Mo on the head and said, "The CEO is being arrogant."
"What?"
Qiao Mo rubbed the back of her head. The urge to hit her back disappeared instantly when she heard the word "CEO."
"Think about it. As the CEO of a corporation, he's always around you. He makes breakfast with love, and he has someone to pick him up and pick him up. In the end, you don't even give him a status. I know you and I know that you're hesitating. If I didn't know you, I would have thought that you were a green tea b * tch."
"How am I related to a green tea b * tch?"
"He's so nice to you. It's fine if you reject him, but you didn't reject him, yet you don't give him a definite answer. Aren't you a green tea b * tch who keeps men hanging?"
"I …" Qiao Mo was speechless. She felt that there was something wrong between them, but she couldn't pinpoint exactly what it was.
Xu Yaxi glanced at her and asked, "Then why don't you accept him?
You haven't forgotten about your ex-boyfriend? "
"How is that possible?
I've never had an ex-boyfriend. "
"Then why?
To be honest, if my family background was like yours, I would have chased after a man like the CEO a long time ago. "
Qiao Mo rolled her eyes and propped her head up with her hand. "I don't know. It just feels weird."
"Then you can ask him tonight. You're neighbors anyway."
"Ask him what? Ask him why he stopped looking for me?
How shameless would I be? "
"Then you should at least apologize. We'll be in the same company in the future, and we'll be neighbors, right? We'll see each other all the time. It'll save us some awkwardness if we explain things clearly."
Qiao Mo nodded and mustered up her courage. "Okay."
Xu Yaxi immediately smiled and took out his phone. "I'll ask the CEO about his schedule today."
Just as he was about to send a WeChat message to Lian Cheng, he saw Lian Cheng and Wu Yue walking in.
Qiao Mo was too embarrassed to call out to him. Her fingers tapped away on the keyboard.
Xu Yaxi didn't hold back and called out to him. "Lian Cheng, are you free?
I have something important to ask you. "
Lian Cheng nodded and said a few words to Wu Yue. Then she walked over and asked, "What's the matter?"
"It's nothing. It's just …" She glanced at Qiao Mo, who seemed to be seriously typing but was actually eavesdropping. "I haven't seen you with the CEO in a long time. Is he on a business trip?"
"No."
Lian Cheng glanced at Qiao Mo. She was thinking about how Gu Qingsheng would praise him. Then she said with great emotion, "The CEO has been sick for the past few days. He has a cold, fever, and tonsillitis. He's very dizzy, so he went home to rest."
"Oh, the CEO must be working hard!" She said the word 'working hard'.
Qiao Mo's heart tightened. He almost stood up, but he held himself firmly and didn't move.
The two of them saw this and exchanged glances with each other. Both of them were smiling.
