When Jian Xiaoqi stomped out of the corner, she suddenly thought of Senior Guo who had been left aside by her for a long time. She immediately felt guilty and trotted back.

She thought he had left, but she didn't expect that when she approached, Guo Linchen was still there, even his posture remained the same as before.

"Senior Guo, I'm sorry, I didn't expect it to take so long, I..."

After waiting for such a long time, if it were him, he would have been anxious and left early, right? But he didn't even have the slightest hint of impatience, and there was even a faint smile on his gentle and jade-like face.

This made Jian Xiaoqi feel even more embarrassed. She lowered her head and blushed, and kept apologizing. However, her movements were similar to those of a chicken pecking at rice, which made her look even more cute.

Guo Linchen shook his head, "It doesn't matter. I just have nothing to do today, so there's no need to rush back."

This counts as telling her that he stayed not entirely because of her, but because he had time. Does this count as a relief for her?

Regardless of the purpose, Jian Xiaoqi did feel a lot more relaxed when she heard his words, and even looked slightly grateful.

If Si Yan were here, he would definitely laugh at her ostrich nature. In fact, what this girl fears most is owing favors!

Seeing her relieved look, Guo Linchen couldn't help but laugh. Then he thought of another thing, so he tentatively asked, "Xiao Qi, do you still remember Tom?"

"Tom?"

Jian Xiaoqi was indeed stunned for a moment, forgiving her that she had been anxious about her grandfather's affairs recently, so she had no time to think about it and forgot about other things.

In Guo Linchen's eyes, "Sure enough," Jian Xiaoqi blushed, her brain worked quickly, and she quickly remembered Tom.

Seeing Senior Guo looking at her narrowly, she became anxious and shouted out: "I remember! It's Tom who helped me with the food interview last time!"

How could I not remember that he helped her a lot that time, and he had such a good personality that she even invited him to be a guest in Rong'an City!

Thinking of this, Jian Xiaoqi felt even more guilty about her temporary amnesia just now.

"Congratulations, I finally remembered." Guo Linchen looked at her happy look and couldn't help but tease her.

The corner of Jian Xiaoqi's mouth twitched, and she choked at his words. She felt even more embarrassed, so she simply lowered her head and acted like a turtle again.

It wasn't until a while later that she remembered that she hadn't asked her senior what happened to Tom! As a result, her forgetfulness was exposed again.

"It seems that I will have to send a condolence message to Tom later and tell him that he has died in your memory!"

No matter how serious people are, there are times when they are joking. Jian Xiaoqi was temporarily dazzled by the hearty smile in front of her. When she realized what he meant, her face was so red that it was almost bleeding.

Afraid that he would really do this, she waved to him repeatedly and explained eagerly: "No, no, no, I really didn't mean it. There have been a lot of things lately, so I didn't have time to contact him..."

In fact, it wasn't that there was no contact, it was that when he called and didn't receive the call, he sent a text message to express his gratitude. Now that I think about it, it was really perfunctory.

Thinking about it this way, she was not ashamed of her behavior, and she actually became the kind of person Taozi said "seeing sex and forgetting friends"!

"Haha, actually he has nothing to do with you. He just feels like we haven't seen each other for a long time, and he has recently researched a new type of cuisine, so he wants to treat you to a meal, but I didn't expect..."

Unexpectedly, after searching around, I didn’t see anyone!

Jian Xiaoqi already wanted to bury her head in the ground, she was so ashamed that she couldn't help herself, "Well, I...I just returned to Y City, before..."

"Well, I know, I was a little surprised to see you here today. By the way, since I saw you, I asked Tom if I have time to have a meal together?"

Guo Linchen himself didn't expect that after he heard the rumors, he was planning to come to Hua Lin to ask about Jian Xiaoqi, but by chance, he bumped into her just as she came back!

He saw her hesitating and thought she was inconvenienced, so he helped her out in a considerate way: "Of course, we are not in a hurry..."

"Okay, when?"

Before he could finish his words, Jian Xiaoqi interrupted him. Just kidding, it would be embarrassing to forget someone. How could he not even agree to the request for a meal? If the word spread, her friend fate

Do you want more?

Guo Linchen was not surprised. The gentle and handsome Lian Shan smiled, "He originally made an appointment with me tonight, is your time available?"

In fact, he has been often dragged by Tom to taste his new works in the past two days, so tonight is no exception.

Tonight? Jian Xiaoqi thought about it. Si Yan would be very busy today. It would be boring for her to eat at home alone. She might as well go with Tom.

After thinking about it, she nodded, "Okay, then tonight!"

So, they came out because of the special topic, and finally ended with the topic of eating.

"Okay, I'll pick you up at six o'clock tonight."

Guo Linchen was in a good mood and said this before leaving. Jian Xiaoqi originally wanted to refuse, but she took it back and did not refuse his kindness.

"good."

After making an appointment with each other, the two separated. Jian Xiaoqi turned around and walked back. When she reached the gate, she couldn't help but have a headache when she thought of Hua Lin's appearance before she came out.

Could it be that something bad is waiting for her?

Originally, she wanted to ask about the subject, but in order to avoid being mistaken for "showing off", Jian Xiaoqi returned to her seat in a low-key manner.

Before she could sit down, the girl next door poked her gently with her hand and came over with a mysterious and gossipy look on her face, "Hey, Xiao Qi, have you offended Director Hua again?"

Jian Xiaoqi was startled by the word "again" in her mouth. The corners of her mouth twitched as if helplessly, but her eyes looked knowingly in the direction of the office.

"Probably, there is some small misunderstanding..."

While muttering in her mouth, she looked at the closed door and sighed in her heart: there was news that she and Hua Lin were at odds. Although this was true, from the beginning to the end, she said that she had been wronged.

ah!

Even just now, Senior Guo said that he was not interested in him! Why didn't Hua Lin believe it?

The colleague was obviously dissatisfied with her answer. He glanced at her mouth and felt like he was vindicating her injustice, "Really? But why do I feel that every time she comes to you, she always looks condescending? And, according to me,

My sixth sense, she seems to be hostile to you!"

The corners of Jian Xiaoqi's mouth twitched again, and she wanted to tell her: Congratulations, your sixth sense is so accurate!

However, she is not a talkative person by nature, and she is not interested in letting others watch her affairs, so when faced with other people's speculations, she just keeps it vague.

"Wait, you said, she just came to me?"

Jian Xiaoqi was stunned for a long time before she realized what she had said. She frowned and had a bad feeling in her heart.

I don’t know what happened again, I hope it’s not a special topic...

Seeing that she didn't mean to reveal anything, the colleague was a little disappointed, so he curled his lips, then gestured in the direction of Hua Lin's office, "Here, I'll go as soon as you come back!"

So often! Jian Xiaoqi couldn't help pinching her eyebrows, suppressing the irritability in her heart, and nodded, "I understand, thank you -"

Picking up the water glass, he slowly swallowed a few mouthfuls of water as if nothing had happened, moistened his throat, and then took steps towards the office.

Behind him, the colleague was still reminding in a low voice: "Hey, Xiaoqi, you have to be careful, don't step on thunder..."

Unfortunately, before she could finish her words, Jian Xiaoqi had already entered.

"Tuk-tuk-tuk-"

Walking to the door of Hua Lin's office and looking at the closed door, Jian Xiaoqi knocked politely and saw through the blinds that the person inside was engrossed in looking at something.

Jian Xiaoqi held her breath and waited patiently...

Although she was prepared to be embarrassed, she didn't expect that the other party wouldn't even let her in!

About two minutes later, Jian Xiaoqi frowned, looked at the motionless door in front of her, raised her hand, and lowered it again

"Tuk-"

This time, after just knocking, there was a response from inside, "Come in!"

Compared with the hysteria before, Hua Lin's voice was much calmer now. When Jian Xiaoqi walked in, she saw that what she was holding in her hand was her own special research.

There was a vague premonition in my heart. Sure enough, as soon as the other party saw her walking in, he casually dropped the report, raised his head, looked at her and sneered.

"Do you know why I came to you?"

Hua Lin's tone was very rude, as if she wanted to break up with her. Jian Xiaoqi remained silent, but could not open her brows. She even looked nervously at the report that was left there and no one cared about it.

Yes, the scene where Jian Xiaoqi and Guo Linchen walked out of her office together had so irritated her that she couldn't control her temper and said inappropriate words.

Hua Lin was just a little annoyed, but Jian Xiaoqi's silence once again irritated her. She suddenly stood up from the chair, and the forced calmness on her face was no longer there.

"Jian Xiaoqi, are you very proud now? After hearing what Brother Guo said, do you dare to say that you are not gloating about others' misfortune? So, you deliberately took him away in front of me?"

Sure enough, he was so angry that he became so angry!

Facing a series of inexplicable questions, Jian Xiaoqi rolled her eyes helplessly, looked at the sky speechlessly, and only replied dryly: "I didn't!" Then she let the other party accuse her, and she was determined not to talk back.

She listened silently. During this period, Hua Lin's mood was out of control, but she became calmer and calmer. She was neither angry nor accusing, and she acted like a bystander throughout the whole process.

What Hua Lin couldn't bear the most was the seemingly sympathetic eyes that made her feel looked down upon every time.

Holding her head high, she threw the report on her desk and said mockingly: "Ah, congratulations. After racking your brains to calculate, you finally got what you wanted!"

Jian Xiao Qimei's heart skipped a beat, and she couldn't help but curse others. It was too ugly. What is calculation? She racked her brains, but she used them in an honest way, right?

Somewhat unhappy, the other party suddenly said: "I was really blind before I agreed to let you come over for internship!"

With these words, Jian Xiaoqi finally raised his head.
Chapter completed!
