Taking advantage of the situation
"I don't know, they're just cousins. We only see each other during the Chinese New Year, so our relationship is average."
Jiang Qiuqi made random remarks.
"You are allowed to join the company as an intern if you have a normal relationship?" Yin Qiang felt that her IQ was insulted.
"My parents insist on me coming here. After experiencing the workplace, I won't refuse to inherit the family business."
Jiang Qiuqi pretended to be helpless and sighed heavily.
Yin Qiang was shocked by her Versailles remarks and was speechless for a moment.
"Why did you choose to make games?" Jiang Qiuqi changed the topic instead of being a guest.
"Why? Because I don't have the money to start a company, and my family can't support the career I choose to love.
Fortunately, I am naturally sensitive to words, so I can make a living as a game planner."
Jiang Qiuqi couldn't tell whether she was sarcastic or not.
"You said before that you and Hao Zhuang have known each other for three years. So you are very familiar with each other?"
"We're familiar. We used to hang out together on weekends. But don't get me wrong, we're just colleagues."
Jiang Qiuqi smelled it vigorously. Why did it smell like tea?
"I'm very lucky to have such a good colleague and take you to change jobs together."
Jiang Qiuqi followed her words and tried to remember how much her salary was.
"Maybe he is my nobleman."
There was a bit of disappointment in Yin Qiang's tone. Her eyes were lowered, as if she couldn't get what she asked for.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to stir up trouble."
Jiang Qiuqi couldn't see through it. Is she trying to show off her authority and start to suffer miserably?
"I just feel a little uncomfortable seeing how well Hao Zhuang takes care of others. He has never said anything ambiguous to me, so don't worry about that."
Is this copywriting planning? With all the twists and turns, I still want to hint at the vague relationship between her and Hao Zhuang.
"Okay, don't worry, I won't tell my cousin that we are not familiar with each other."
Jiang Qiuqi followed her words and pretended to be innocent.
"I'm hungry, let's go first."
She left Yin Qiang behind and went upstairs alone.
Tiancheng sent another message: Boss, lunch is ready, where are you going to eat today?
Jiang Qiuqi suddenly had a new idea.
"Sorry, sorry."
The elevator door was about to close, so she quickly pressed the door button and ran out of the elevator.
The elevator went back and forth several times before she finally waited for Yin Qiang.
Yin Qiang was a little surprised to see her: "Wait for me?"
"No, there are too many people during the afternoon rush hour, so we have to wait for a long time."
The people in the car crowded out, and the two of them walked in side by side.
The air was filled with silence.
"Ding dong~ The 12th floor is here!"
The moment the door opened, Jiang Qiuqi accurately found Tiancheng behind the crowd, ran over and hugged her.
"Cousin, you're so kind! I'm starving, what should I eat for lunch?"
Tiancheng didn't respond and replied blankly: "Tea-flavored grilled wings, tea bowl steamed rice, and Longjing crisps."
Today's dish is very meaningful. Jiang Qiuqi suppressed a smile.
She took Tiancheng's arm. "Come on, then. I love having lunch together in your office!"
Yin Qiang, who was behind him, turned pale when she heard about the dishes. Seeing them leaving chatting and laughing, she turned to look relaxed.
She just wanted Tiancheng to know her existence, and she wouldn't be happy if Jiang Qiuqi didn't tell her.
In the office, Jiang Qiuqi leaned on the boss's chair and closed his eyes to relax.
Tiancheng opened all the food and placed them neatly in front of her.
"Mr. Jiang, don't you want to eat?"
It’s all a worry, how can I eat it!
She raised her hand to rub her temples and replied softly: "I'll eat it later."
Her tone was full of exhaustion, Tiancheng didn't ask any questions, quietly exited and closed the door.
Originally, she thought that Tiancheng and Hao Zhuang were just an office romance at most. She had a pretty good impression of Hao Zhuang.
Yin Qiang's sudden provocation made her feel somewhat uneasy.
Otherwise...she should not tell Tiancheng first and let them develop on their own? After all, she couldn't be sure whether Yin Qiang's words were true or false.
What's more, Tiancheng has promised before that if Hao Zhuang is not suitable, she will never fall in love.
She had to plan again, and occasionally had to perform her duties as a boss. She also had to lie from time to time. It was not enough to allocate her energy.
She picked up the chopsticks, barely stuffed a few mouthfuls of rice, and continued to sleep in the chair.
In the office, the air-conditioning temperature was just right. Tiancheng came in at some point and covered her with a quilt.
The powerful soundproof windows and doors successfully allowed Jiang Qiuqi to sleep until five in the afternoon.
When she opened her eyes and saw the sun hiding halfway up the building opposite, she thought she had traveled through time.
The hour hand has pointed to five o'clock.
She was so frightened that she stood up immediately.
On the corporate WeChat, there were three messages from Wang Shuo, asking her where she was.
There was a message from Tiancheng on WeChat: Silence your phone and have a good sleep. I have big dark circles under my eyes, which makes me feel sad.
Jiang Qiuqi sat back on the chair again.
Tiancheng was right. She had been so tense these past two days that she was almost overdrafted. If she didn't rest, she was afraid that the company would lose its boss.
She decided to give herself an afternoon off.
In the work area, Wang Shuo, Hao Zhuang, and Chu Jukun checked the process modification plan again, but Jiang Qiuqi still didn't show up.
He opened his corporate WeChat account and received a message from her.
Jiang Qiuqi: Master, I don’t feel very well. I may have heatstroke. I’ll take a day off in the afternoon.
Wang Shuo changed from worrying about her personal safety to worrying about her health.
"Do you have any medicine? Have you gone to the hospital?"
The message remains unread.
Wang Shuo wanted to explain tomorrow's new task to her, but thinking that she might not be able to come, he simply deleted it.
Jiang Qiuqi is still in the office.
After replying the message, her stomach began to protest. She reluctantly ate two Longjing cakes, felt dizzy again, and fell asleep.
When I woke up again, the office was completely dark.
Jiang Qiuqi looked out the window, and the stars were already hanging in the night sky.
At eight o'clock in the evening, Hao Zhuang and the others should also be off work, right?
She approached the door and quietly opened it a crack.
"Didi~didi~" is the sound of entering the password lock.
"Ah - it hurts!" The door was suddenly pushed open. Jiang Qiuqi was defenseless and fell to the ground, covering his forehead.
"Mr. Jiang?! You haven't gone back yet?!" Tiancheng was also frightened and hurriedly helped her up.
"Are you okay? Let me take a look."
Fortunately, Tiancheng didn't have much strength. He was only red and had no wounds.
"Of course I didn't leave. I didn't show up all afternoon. It would be too embarrassing to leave the office now. Have they all gotten off work?" Jiang Qiuqi calmed down.
"Basically let's go, I just passed by and didn't see anyone." Tiancheng tilted his head and thought for a while before answering.
"Okay, let's go home." She didn't go back to her work station to get her bag, but went straight to the elevator.
