During this period, Lu Qi's eyes kept falling on her. Even though her figure had disappeared outside the door for a long time, he never looked back, as if he was fascinated by her.
Finally, Rong Shu patted his shoulder, making him look away and turn his head back.
"What's wrong?" Lu Qi asked, touching the shoulder patted by Rong Shu.
Rong Shu crossed her arms and looked at the direction of the door behind him, and finally fixed her eyes on him, "I also want to ask you what's wrong. I kept staring in the direction Secretary Tong left and called you twice. You
No response."
"Who said I stared at her? I was just thinking about something." Lu Qi got a little excited and quickly retorted.
Seeing that he refused to admit what he had just done, Rong Shu couldn't help but rolled her eyes, "Okay, okay, if you don't have it, you won't have it, but let me tell you, Ah Qi, when you come to my place in the future, you can't be arrogant towards Secretary Tong. Now she
She's my secretary, not yours anymore. It's not appropriate for you to be like this."
Anyway, as Secretary Tong's current boss, she has to protect Secretary Tong no matter what.
Secretary Tong cannot be bullied here at Aqi.
"Definitely." Lu Qi curled his lips and waved his hands, "Can I stop talking to her in the future? Anyway, I don't think I have any negative feelings towards her. Didn't you see that when she faced me?
Her face was expressionless, and I didn’t even say that she was deliberately trying to show off to me, but you started to blame me."
The corner of Rong Shu's mouth twitched, "Aqi, what you said is a bit unreasonable. Isn't Secretary Tong's attitude towards you the same as in the past? Rigorous and rigid, there is no change. Why has Secretary Tong been here with me for several months?
, you can’t accept Secretary Tong’s attitude towards you in the past?”
Lu Qi was startled and immediately speechless.
Yes, the way Tong Xi greeted him was indeed no different from the way she treated him in the past.
I never thought there was anything wrong with Tong Xi's behavior in the past.
Why don't you like it now?
Lu Qi lowered his eyes, feeling an indescribable irritation in his heart.
After a while, he pulled out the chair and sat down, waving his hands again, "Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore. It makes me upset."
Rong Shu rolled her eyes at him again.
Upset?
Isn't it because he kept staring at Secretary Tong and later disliked Secretary Tong, so he had to struggle with it?
Why are you upset again now?
However, Rong Shu always respects other people's opinions. If Lu Qi doesn't want to say this anymore, then he won't say it.
At this time, there was another movement at the office door.
A woman who looked like an assistant appeared at the door carrying a tray, knocked on the door and said, "Chairman, the coffee is here."
Rong Shu smiled and nodded at her, "Come in!"
"yes."
The assistant responded, put down his hand, walked in with a tray in both hands, and then placed two cups of coffee in front of Rong Shu and Lu Qi respectively.
After playing, the assistant will turn around and leave.
Lu Qi stopped her with dark eyes, "Wait a minute."
The assistant stopped and looked back at Lu Qi, "Does Mr. Lu have any other instructions?"
"Where's Tong Xi?" Lu Qi turned around the coffee in front of him, his tone was flat and he couldn't tell what he was feeling.
Rong Shu sat across from him and looked at him without speaking, wondering what Lu Qi wanted to ask.
The assistant held the tray vertically in his arms, remembering Secretary Tong's explanation just now, and replied with a smile: "The secretary-general just answered a call and there is work that she needs to deal with, so she is busy now and specifically asked me to bring the coffee in.
."
Lu Qi stopped talking and looked at the coffee cup with narrowed eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.
The conference room suddenly became quiet.
The assistant stood there, neither leaving nor leaving. He could only look at Rong Shu for help.
Rong Shu held her forehead and felt a little headache due to Lu Qi's behavior.
"Aqi..."
Rong Shu was about to open his mouth to rescue him.
Lu Qi took a sip of coffee and threw the coffee cup on the table.
The sound also startled Rong Shu and her assistant.
"Is she busy, or is she deliberately making excuses not to send her in? I don't think I need to explain the answer clearly, right?" Lu Qi looked at the assistant with mixed eyes.
The assistant opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end he said nothing and lowered his head.
Rong Shu couldn't stand it anymore and waved to her assistant, "Xiao Lin, please go out first."
"Yes." Hearing Rong Shu's words, the assistant was overjoyed and felt as if he had been granted amnesty. He hurried to the door and left the office.
After the assistant left, Rong Shu looked at Lu Qi opposite him with a gloomy expression.
Obviously, Lu Qi was dissatisfied with his assistant's departure, because he still had something to say.
"Aqi, I asked Secretary Tong to bring the coffee in, so there is no need for you to blame Secretary Tong for not bringing it in personally." Rong Shu looked at Lu Qi and said softly.
Lu Qi's hand on the coffee cup tightened slightly, "Why are you doing this?"
"Why?" Rong Shu pinched her eyebrows and explained a little tiredly, "Aqi, didn't you realize that Secretary Tong is afraid of you? I don't know what happened between you to make Secretary Tong so afraid of you.
, I only know that I am Secretary Tong’s boss now and I have the responsibility to protect her. Since she will feel uncomfortable and scared when she sees you, then of course I have to find a way to prevent her from meeting you, so it is normal for me to do this, isn’t it?
?”
She spread her hands.
At the same time, he also deliberately concealed the fact that he already knew what happened between them.
Lu Qi's attention was not on Rong Shu, but on her words.
Hearing Rong Shu say that Secretary Tong was afraid of him, for some reason, he felt as if his heart had been grabbed by someone, making him very uncomfortable.
"Why is she afraid of me?" Lu Qi murmured with his lips moving slightly, seeming to be asking Rong Shu, and also seemed to be asking himself.
Rong Shu rolled her eyes at him, "Why don't you know it best? Anyway, you suddenly became like this."
"..." Lu Qi squeezed the coffee cup again and fell silent.
He seemed to know the reason.
After that night, he said many outrageous things to Tong Xi.
Maybe it was these words that made Tong Xi so afraid of him.
Logically speaking, Tong Xi should be happy about Tong Xi's fear and avoidance of him, right?
After all, that's what he wanted in the first place.
But now that he really saw Tong Xi treating him like this, he felt a little unspeakably angry.
At the same time, he also discovered that he... didn't seem to like that Tong Xi was really afraid of him and avoided him.
what is this?
Lu Qi looked down at his hands, his eyes and expression were confused.
Seeing him like this, Rong Shu didn't know what he was thinking, but she probably had something to do with Secretary Tong.
She shook her head and lightly tapped the table, "Okay, Aqi, let's not talk about Secretary Tong. Anyway, you don't want to see Secretary Tong now. Isn't it just right that Secretary Tong doesn't bring you coffee?"
of course not!
Lu Qi subconsciously wanted to say these four words.
But when the words came to his lips, he suddenly realized that this was not what he should say.
So, he swallowed these words again, nodded slightly, and said with a slight smile: "That's what you said, it's really good not to see people you don't want to see.
"
After saying that, he picked up the coffee and drank it.
The exquisite coffee cup just blocked the corners of his sinking mouth, making it impossible to tell that when he said this, his expression was not as calm or happy as his tone.
It's probably just the difference between what you mean and what you say.
