"I have long said that you do not need to apologize to me for any of her actions. Although you are a couple, you are also two individuals. What she said and did has nothing to do with you."
Jiang Youchen smiled warmly: "Qianqian, you are still so considerate."
Su Qian didn't answer this.
"Okay, you don't have to send me off. I'll take a taxi to the company myself."
"Qianqian, wait."
She stopped and looked at him doubtfully.
"Anything else?"
Jiang Youchen hesitated and asked, "Have you really got a new boyfriend?"
She frowned slightly, but before she spoke, he explained: "Don't get me wrong, I'm just asking casually. If you don't want to say anything, forget it."
She really didn't want to say it, so she just smiled perfunctorily.
Then, she took a taxi on the side of the road, got in the car and left.
It wasn't until the taxi drove away that Jiang Youchen reluctantly looked back.
…
In the car.
Su Qian received a call from Tang Hua.
"Su Qian, I'm sorry, I just woke up and saw the message you sent."
Tang Hua's voice was a little lazy, and it sounded like she hadn't woken up yet.
Su Qian asked concernedly: "Are you okay?"
"It's okay, I'm just a little dizzy."
Speaking of this, she asked doubtfully: "Why did you ask me if I was okay? You were the one who sent me home last night?"
"It's not me, it's Si Luoqi, don't you know?"
"Luoqi?"
"Yes, you haven't seen him before, right?"
"No, when I woke up, I was the only one at home."
Tang Hua asked: "Su Qian, what happened last night? Why did Luo Qi send me home?"
Her mind went blank and she had no memory of what happened last night.
Su Qian recalled for her: "Have you forgotten? Last night you went to the bar alone and met a wretched man. He almost fainted and took him away!"
Tang Hua was silent, recalling last night carefully, and finally got some impressions in her mind.
"Tang Hua, you have to thank Lu Jinnian this time. If it weren't for him, there's no telling what would have happened last night."
"Lu Jinnian?"
"Well, he was the one who took you away from the wretched man last night."
Tang Hua murmured in a low voice: "Lu Jinnian has such good intentions? I don't believe it!"
She even suspected that Lu Jinnian had knocked her out and deliberately made her look embarrassed in front of Si Luoqi!
Su Qian listened to her resentful words and said helplessly: "If you don't believe it, you can ask him personally."
"I don't want to talk to this guy, Su Qian, please tell me quickly. When Luo Qi came to pick me up last night, was he angry or disappointed when he saw me unconscious?"
Su Qian thought about it for a moment: "I really don't know this. I left after Si Luoqi came over."
"Oh, it's over. The ladylike image I have maintained in front of Luo Qi has collapsed!"
Listening to the wailing on the phone, Su Qian asked puzzledly: "As for it, you are going to get married soon. You don't plan to just pretend in front of him for the rest of your life, do you?"
"I don't want to pretend to be so tired, but Luo Qi doesn't like girls who make a fuss, and I don't want to make him unhappy..."
Tang Hua suddenly became depressed.
"Besides, I have already told him to postpone the wedding."
"He agreed?"
"Not only did I agree, I didn't even ask why."
Hearing this, Su Qian began to worry about her.
"Tanghua, there's something I've been forgetting to tell you. A few days ago, Simo Bai told me to remind you that you should think carefully about marriage."
"Si Mobai, why would he care about my marriage?"
"I don't know, but I think there is always a reason why he said this. Since you have decided to postpone the wedding, you should think carefully about it during this time."
Tang Hua didn't speak for a long time.
"knew."
Su Qian looked out the window.
Seeing that he was almost at the company, he said to the phone: "Okay, I won't tell you anymore, I'm at the company."
A few minutes later.
Su Qian got off the car and took the elevator to the R&D department.
Before she entered the office, Xia Meiling came to her and whispered: "Sister Qian, Mrs. Zhao is here."
Su Qian looked into the office through the glass window.
Zhao Yanran was wearing eye-catching blue high heels and sitting on the sofa with her legs crossed.
"I understand, please pour two glasses of water in."
"good."
Su Qian opened the door and entered the office, greeting Zhao Yanran with a smile.
"Mrs. Zhao, there are still two days until the date we agreed on. Why did you come here so early?"
Zhao Yanran flipped up her wavy hair, took out a makeup mirror from her bag, and applied her makeup in the mirror with a powder puff.
"My husband's schedule is two days ahead of schedule. He will be back tonight, so you have to give me what I need today."
Su Qian was a little embarrassed.
Developing a perfume is inherently a long process, not to mention that it is very demanding and requires many experiments to arrive at the finished product.
Half a month's time is already embarrassing, and now it has to be two days ahead of schedule, which is simply unreasonable.
"Mrs. Zhao, our contract was written for half a month, but you suddenly arrived two days early. I was not prepared at all, and there was no time."
Zhao Yanran put the makeup mirror into her bag and asked impatiently: "So, you can't do it? In this case, your company must compensate for my losses, and I will also promote it in the ladies' circle of the Imperial Capital tomorrow.
Once again, let others know that you are just a perfumer relying on Si Mobai's reputation!"
Su Qian's face stiffened.
This Mrs. Zhao has a lot of background, and she is a well-spoken person in the circle of ladies. If she really does this, the fame she has finally accumulated will definitely be labeled as "borrowing Si Mobai to get her position."
"Since Mrs. Zhao wants the finished product today, well, wait a moment."
She came to the laboratory where perfume is developed.
Xia Meiling followed her in and felt sorry for her.
"Sister Qian, Mrs. Zhao is obviously in trouble, why did you agree to her?"
"Is it okay if you don't agree? Didn't you hear what she just said? If you don't agree, my job will be ruined."
"But there are still several steps to complete the perfume. What should we give her?"
Su Qian looked at the semi-finished products on the table and the finished perfume that had been eliminated, and hesitated for a while.
Then, she picked one out of the eliminated products.
"That's it. Hurry up and get it for urgent sterilization and bottling."
Xia Meiling looked at her blankly: "But Sister Qian, isn't this a product that has been eliminated by you? And Mrs. Zhao is picky, can this pass the test?"
"No problem. This perfume is the result of several months of research and development. However, the taste did not meet my expectations, so it became a eliminated product. It fully meets Mrs. Zhao's requirements."
Xia Meiling nodded: "I'll go right away!"
Not long after, the packaged perfume was delivered to Mrs. Zhao.
Mrs. Zhao sprayed it on her body, smelled it carefully, and asked curiously: "What is this smell?"
