Fortunately, the phone was connected, and Lin Tongtong's crisp voice came from the other side: "Hello, who are you?"
The two had never called each other, so Lin Tongtong didn't know Jing Qiu's number, but Jing Qiu found her mobile phone number on the waiter's information.
"I'm Jingqiu."
Lin Tongtong was taken aback, "Manager Jing?"
"Aren't you going to come to work?" Jing Qiu's tone was still as flat as water, without any ups and downs.
"Manager Jing, I'm sorry, I should call you first, I... I found a new job."
"What new job?"
"Be someone else's secretary."
Jing Qiu's brows immediately frowned, and his fingers on the table slightly curled up, "Which other person? Who is he?"
Manager Jing's abnormal reaction made Lin Tongtong a little strange.
She was stunned, and just about to answer, a man's low voice came from beside her: "Hey, little guy, what are you doing? Come with me!"
When Jing Qiu heard this familiar voice, his clear eyes widened suddenly...
She stood up from the chair suddenly, and blurted out excitedly: "You come back to me!"
However, when Lin Tongtong heard Jing Ming's voice, she covered her phone and put it down. She smiled at Jing Ming, "I'll report to my former manager, and I'll be here soon."
Jing Ming glanced at her lightly, turned around and left.
Lin Tongtong put the phone to her ear again, but found that it was a busy tone of "beep beep beep", Jing Qiu couldn't hear her answer, and had already hung up the phone.
Jing Ming was sitting on the sofa with his slender legs crossed. There were two folders in blue and yellow on top of them. He picked up one of the folders and looked through it, then handed it to the girl in front of him...
"Translate it into Chinese."
Lin Tongtong was slightly startled, but when he took it, his face was full of confusion, "Sir, do you want me to translate?"
"What? A college student can't even do this?" Jing Ming raised his head and frowned at her.
For the past two days, Lin Tongtong has been staying in the castle, and he has not arranged for her to do anything.
Today she told Mama Zhang that she was too busy and wanted to go home to see her grandma, but this gentleman arranged things for her.
"I... I'm not an English major." Lin Tongtong bit her lower lip, embarrassed.
Jing Ming lowered his eyes to flip through another file, and said in a low voice, "Then learn, study hard."
"You...don't set a time for me?"
"Um."
Lin Tongtong paused for a moment, feeling that this document seemed to be used by him for practice, otherwise, he would not have asked for time.
"Thank you sir." She bowed and turned to leave.
"Slow!" Jing Ming called her to stop, and handed over the other copy, "Translate this document into English."
Lin Tongtong's head buzzed, and he took it with a weak hand...
Jing Ming smiled faintly, "After finishing these two things, you can go home and rest for two days."
Hearing this, Lin Tongtong's eyes lit up, and a gleam of joy climbed up his brows, "Really?"
"Yeah." Jing Ming seemed to be infected by her beautiful smile, and the corners of his lips raised a smile, "I mean what I say, you go to the study."
"Thank you!" Lin Tongtong left happily.
Jing Ming picked up the cigarette case and paused again, only to realize that Lin Tongtong's smile resembled someone's.
But thinking that it might just be an ordinary resemblance, he shook his head, just as he took out a cigarette, the phone in his pocket rang again, he took it out and looked at it, with a slightly surprised expression...
"Sister?" He chuckled, "Why do you think of me again?"
"Jing Ming, come out! I want to see you now!"
Hearing the anxiety in her words, Jing Ming was even more surprised, why did this calm sister get emotional?
"Sister, what happened?"
"It's okay, just have dinner with you."
"Really? Well, I promise."
...
It was evening when Jing Ming returned to the city, the sky was dark, and it started to rain lightly.
Jing Qiu was wearing a long black dress, with high hair, and holding a small lavender umbrella, standing coldly outside the western restaurant.
Jing Ming rolled down the car window, smiled at her, got out of the car, and strode over in the light rain...
"Why don't you go in first?" He asked.
Jing Qiu looked up at him, but didn't move the umbrella over his head.
A few wisps of rain drifted onto Jing Ming's face, he blinked, and reached out to hold Jing Qiu's hand holding the umbrella, "Go in."
Jing Qiu pushed his hand, stuffed the umbrella into his palm, and walked into the western restaurant alone.
Jing Ming glanced at her back, walked to the door, put away the umbrella, and handed it to the door attendant.
"What do you want to eat? Order whatever you want."
After taking his seat, Jing Ming took a sip of water, then took out the silk scarf in his pocket and wiped the raindrops off his face.
With a calm expression, Jing Qiu took the order tablet from the waiter, slid it a few times, and ordered a few dishes and two desserts.
"that's it."
While waiting for the food, Jing Qiu kept looking at his phone and had no communication with Jing Ming.
Jing Ming moved a glass of water to her, "You asked me to come over to have dinner quietly with you?"
Jing Qiu didn't raise his head, "I want to know what you've been doing recently?"
"Hehe... sister started to care about me?"
"I don't want to care about it. Dad asked me to. He said that he gave you three beauties last time. Would you accept one?"
"right."
Jing Qiu shrank his eyes, and tightened his fingers holding the phone.
After that, she raised her head and stared closely at Jing Ming's charming and handsome face, "How old is the beauty left behind? What does she do?"
Jing Ming curled his lips into a smile, "My sister wants to give me advice on whether she is suitable to be Mrs. Jing in the future?"
Jing Qiu's heart trembled slightly, but there was no wave on his face, "Please answer carefully."
"She," Jing Ming rubbed his chin, his eyes were tender, "she's still young, she just turned nineteen, she's a female college student, she's quite pretty."
"what is her name?"
"Sister, you also need to understand this?"
"please tell me!"
"Lin Tongtong."
Jing Qiu's heart twitched, "Jing Ming!"
Jing Ming was stunned, "Huh?"
"you……"
"Sister, what do you want to say? Dad asked someone to pick this girl for me. Is there anything wrong?"
"Too small, you let her go!"
"Hehe... Sister, why did your face turn pale?" Jing Ming felt that she was losing her composure, and blinked in confusion, "Why did I let her go? I didn't imprison her, her body is free .”
Fearing that he would lose control of his emotions, Jing Qiu took a sip from his water glass, then turned his head to look at the raindrops rolling on the glass, and gurgled his throat.
"You are already thirty-seven years old, and you are more than one round behind her age. In ancient times, you could have given birth to her. How could you find such a young girl?"
Jing Ming smiled faintly, "But I think she is very cute, and I am happy to see her just a few times, so I decided to keep her by my side and raise her slowly, and train her in all aspects, maybe she will grow up to be like a big sister in the future." Your temperament."
"..." Jing Qiu turned around and glared at him.
Jing Ming shrugged, very innocent.
At this time, the dishes came, Jing Ming stretched out his hand and lightly touched Jing Qiu's arm, "Hey, don't worry about my business, we haven't sat down to eat together for so many years, today is delicious, come ,eat fast."
Jing Qiu waved his hand away with a hint of anger.
Jing Ming glanced at her face sharply, a trace of doubt flashed in his heart.
The dinner was finished in silence, and before leaving, Jing Qiu started talking again: "That girl turned out to be a waiter under me, she is simple and ignorant of worldly affairs, please don't hurt her."
Jing Ming was taken aback, "So you know her, sister? You asked me for dinner just because of her?"
"As long as you know."
"Sister, why do you protect her?"
Jing Qiu's expression was cold, "Because she is still a child, and because I have feelings for her, is this a good reason?"
"Hehe... Sis, are you afraid that I might eat her too soon?" Jing Ming raised his eyebrows evilly.
"Jing Ming, if you dare to touch her, I will definitely not let you go!"
After saying that, Jing Qiu picked up the bag, leaving a sad look in his eyes, and walked away.
Jing Ming sat on the seat, his mind was a little confused, and his thoughts couldn't stop turning back and forth...
After a long time, he got up and left the western restaurant.
He asked the driver to drive the car to Xiangshan Mingyuan Apartment, but when he entered, he was stopped by the security guard and asked him if he had an access card.
Jing Ming glanced at him coldly, the strong aura made the security guard shiver subconsciously.
But he was afraid of losing his job, so he said respectfully: "Now the management is strict, not the owners inside, we can't just put strangers in, otherwise the owners will complain, sir, please forgive me."
"I'm looking for my friend, I've been here before." Jing Ming said lightly.
"Then please call, sir, and ask your friend to tell me."
Jing Ming gritted his teeth. If he can get through to Gu Xinyan on the phone, why does he need to remind him?
After giving him a cold glance, Jing Ming walked back, got into the car, and closed the door loudly. The bodyguard in front gave him a careful look, "Sir, where are you going now?"
"go back!"
...
Gu Xinyan caught a cold today, took some medicine and felt dizzy and dizzy, so she went to bed early.
Fu Shumin was worried, so she came to visit her new house in person, "Xinyan, do you want to call the family doctor?"
"Mom, no need." Gu Xinyan rubbed her forehead, "I don't have a fever, don't worry."
Fu Shumin sat on the edge of the bed, took her hand, her eyes were full of concern, "Are you too tired from work these days?"
Gu Xinyan smiled, "No, the air conditioner was turned on too low, and I accidentally caught a cold."
"If I had known this before, my mother should have asked someone to cook some brown sugar ginger soup for you, so that you can force out the cold, so that you won't catch a cold."
"It's all right, Mom, you can go to sleep, I'll be fine after taking medicine and sleeping."
"Does Ye'er know?"
"Mom, don't tell him such trivial things, so as not to distract him."
"Okay, then you have a good rest."
Fu Shumin got up and opened the door, seeing Ni Cairui standing outside the door with a bowl of hot noodles, she was slightly surprised, "Who asked you to bring this up?"
"I... myself."
Fu Shumin took a closer look at the noodles, and found that there were red peppers and green coriander inside.
"Why put these?"
"Cure a cold."
"Can it work?"
Ni Cairui nodded, "I used to catch a cold, and my mother gave me food like this. After I slept, my mind cleared up and I felt comfortable all over."
Fu Shumin glanced into the room and asked: "Xinyan, Cairui cooked you a bowl of noodles, do you want it?"
Because she was not feeling well, Gu Xinyan didn't eat anything at night. If this noodles can really cure a cold and fill her stomach, it is naturally the best.
