Seventh Year of My Secret Love for You

After smoking a cigarette, Jiang Shenghe hadn't entered the villa yet, and there were many mosquitoes in the garden. Auntie Chai specially lit the mosquito coils. She could tell that Jiang Shenghe was in a good mood tonight.

"Have you had dinner yet?"

"I've eaten it, and I ate it with Luo Qi."

Aunt Chai knew Luo Qi very well. She used to work at Jiang Yueru's house, and after Jiang Yueru went abroad, she came to Jiang Shenghe's side.

When my aunt and nephew talked about Luo Qi before, they didn't avoid her.

"Auntie, please rest."

Aunt Chai put away the mosquito coils and did not bother.

[How did you convince Luo Qi to post your photo on Moments? 】Jiang Sixun just woke up, and when he woke up, he saw Luo Qi's Moments photos and oil paintings, which was unbelievable.

Luo Qi is so cautious, how could she easily use the boss's photo as a shield.

unreasonable.

Jiang Shenghe: [Not convinced. 】

It is also impossible to convince.

When he got the photo and asked someone to draw it, no matter how high-sounding the reason was, it was full of loopholes. He didn't need to convince Luo Qi now, he just needed to blur the clear boundary between them.

Jiang Sixun understood Luo Qi, 【Then how could she post? 】

Jiang Shenghe: [Passively posted. 】

Jiang Sixun suddenly found it interesting, and even if he was passive, he would post it. Even he thought it was inappropriate to post the boss's photo, how could Luo Qi not think so.

There is only one explanation, Luo Qi is a fan of the authorities.

[If you let her know how much you spent on that painting, she will no longer be able to calm down. 】

Jiang Shenghe: [I'll think of another way. 】If you still reveal your secrets in the end, then reveal your secrets, he will always confess, and sooner or later she will know his feelings for her.

I have thought about it slowly, but not everything will follow his wishes and expectations.

Just like that night in Sioux City, who would have thought that when Xiao Jiang went downstairs at that time, he happened to hold an umbrella for Luo Qi, and tonight, if she hadn't received a call from her high school classmates, he wouldn't have taken advantage of it, and It is impossible to appear in her circle of friends.

He clicked on Luo Qi's dialog box, and the last chat record was that he charged her five thousand yuan.

I thought the price was right at the time, but now I think it's overpriced. She was not even willing to buy a new dress, five thousand yuan was a luxury to her.

Jiang Shenghe transferred another 1,500 yuan to Luo Qi, and explained: [The teacher and I know each other, so I don't want any other money, just for thought, and I charged 3,500 yuan for materials. 】

If it costs one thousand and five less, she should be very happy.

Luo Qi just got home, turned on the balcony light and was looking at Gherkin.

Unexpectedly, the boss transferred back 1,500 yuan, which was pleasantly surprised, and felt like a small fortune.

She was not polite and just accepted it.

[Thank you Mr. Jiang. 】

Regarding the painting, Jiang Shenghe made a psychological presupposition for her in advance: [If He Wancheng or the person in charge of a major account asks, you can say that the painting is about a million, if it is too low, they think your boyfriend has no financial strength, no I will put it in my eyes, and I will still chase you. 】

For this reason, Luo Qi understands that oil paintings are more valuable as props than photos.

Luo Qi read the news from the boss again, and was able to tell the boss the price of one million. The painting itself must not be cheap. She is a layman and knows nothing about painting. If you know who painted it, you may subconsciously feel that it is expensive because of the artist's popularity. You can't guess the price just by looking at the painting.

[Mr. Jiang, is this painting expensive at the market price? 】

[Well, but only the market price. 】

Jiang Shenghe said again: [Don't be scared by the market price, like Chu Lin, if someone invites her, the appearance fee may be hundreds of thousands or even millions, but if you want to hear her play the piano, it's not just a matter of saying a word. All painters I know are at this level. 】

Rocky: "..."

That's the difference in circles.

This is no psychological burden.

She is still in the superficial stage economically, so that people are also superficial. Even if she knows that the oil paintings are from the hands of masters, she still can't see the way.

The oil painting problem was solved, and Jiang Shenghe asked: 【Are you home? 】

[Well, here we are. 】

Jiang Shenghe didn't finish chatting, followed his heart, and then asked: [What are you doing? 】

This sentence seems to have exceeded the boundary too much. Worried that she would be at a loss, he added another sentence: 【Do you still work overtime? If you turn on the computer, send a copy of tonight's materials to my mailbox. 】

Luo Qi stretched out her hands to pick cucumbers, and when she saw the news, she slipped her fingertips, but did not cut off the cucumber vines. Immediately, the second message came in, and the heart that was thrown up hung in the air for a few seconds, and then fell back in an instant.

Obviously standing on the balcony is like riding a roller coaster.

When she saw the words 'what are you doing' just now, thoughts that she shouldn't have popped into her mind.

She is guilty.

Almost misunderstood the boss.

[Sent to you in five minutes. 】

She put the phone on the shelf, picked up the scissors next to it, and cut the cucumber.

Luo Qi looked at her phone, but Jiang Shenghe didn't call her back.

She went to the kitchen to wash the cucumbers, ate half a cucumber, and calmed down.

Sit down at the desk, turn on the computer, and send the materials requested by the boss to his mailbox.

Jiang Shenghe: [Received. 】

He still wanted to talk to her, but he couldn't find a suitable topic for a long time, only work to talk about: 【Tomorrow don't forget to tell Li Rui, Ruipu Medical's team, keep it. 】

Luo Qi didn't dare to forget such an important matter, she had already written it in the memo and set an alarm to remind her.

Before going to bed, she checked Moments again.

There were hundreds of messages, and a few of them built tall buildings. Her high school classmates regarded the message area as a group chat, and they were all guessing who this figure was from behind and whether it was someone from their school.

He Wancheng also saw Luo Qi's circle of friends, and he never had the habit of liking and leaving comments.

When he saw the photo of the back, he had the intuition that Luo Qi asked his relatives to pose for a photo for a blind date, but when he clicked on the oil painting, he denied his guess.

There is a seal in the lower right corner of the painting, you can't see it unless you look carefully. If you are not an insider, you don't collect oil paintings, and you don't know what that special seal means.

He knew the seal, and this oil painting was actually made by the master Mr. Yu.

With Luo Qi's current economic conditions, he would not spend tens of millions to paint an oil painting as a prop.

It seems that she agreed to the pursuit of Jiang Sheng and that friend.

The next day, the cucumbers on the balcony grew up again.

There were more than 20 cucumbers in this crop, and Luo Qi couldn't finish them. Before going out in the morning, she picked ten cucumbers and distributed them to the colleagues in the secretary's office.

Xiao Jiang is always the most active one, and immediately washes a few cucumbers, everyone has a share.

"Sister Luo, is it really the cucumbers grown on your balcony?"

"How big is the balcony?" Another colleague echoed while eating a cucumber.

Luo Qi: "Not big, a few square meters, soilless cultivation."

She clicked on the photo album, and there was a short video of her in it, "Let me show you."

Early in the morning, several people in the secretary's office ate cucumbers and watched a small video of growing cucumbers, laughing.

"What are you so happy to talk about?"

"...Mr. Jiang."

"Mr. Jiang, good morning."

Several people took down the cucumbers they were eating, but they didn't expect the boss to come so early.

Luo Qi glanced at her watch, it was seven fifty.

The company goes to work at nine o'clock. Because they get off work early every day, they habitually come early the next day.

Jiang Shenghe stopped and looked at the cucumbers on the table, "Breakfast?"

"No." Xiao Jiang was generous, there were four cucumbers in the plastic bag, and he even carried the bag to the boss: "Mr. Jiang, this is your share. Our Luozhu planted cucumbers on the balcony."

In order to let the boss see the idyllic scenery of Luo Qi's small balcony, Xiao Jiang showed the video on Luo Qi's mobile phone to the boss, "We didn't believe it at first, how can we grow cucumbers on the small balcony, just take a look."

Jiang Shenghe didn't take his mobile phone, and watched the video for tens of seconds with Xiao Jiang's hand, "Not bad."

He picked up the cucumber and said to Luo Qi, "I'm not welcome."

When the boss went to his office, they immediately dispersed and went about their own business.

Luo Qi didn't want to give cucumbers to the boss, and he didn't care too much. Those few were intended to be brought to Chu Lin, and it was agreed to go to Chu Lin's tavern in the evening.

At nine o'clock, she went downstairs to look for Li Rui, and conveyed the boss's intentions. Regarding the management team of Ruipu Medical, she did not make any adjustments and tried her best to keep it.

Li Rui was thoughtful, Ruipu Medical was only one of several holding companies under the Yuanwei Group, and he, the big boss of the group, never asked about such trivial matters.

This time not only asked Luo Qi to inform her.

All companies that are merged and acquired will face a major change in finance and management, without exception.

The boss asked her to keep the original team, which means that the headquarter will suspend the takeover of Ruipu. I don't know who the boss plans to arrange for it. Anyway, it's right for her not to intervene in this matter.

Li Rui smiled, "Thank you for your hard work, I have to make a special trip. Tell Mr. Jiang, I know what to do."

Luo Qi stayed with Li Rui for less than five minutes, and went back to answer the boss.

When they reached the forty-second floor, Xiao Jiang told her that there was a visitor in Mr. Jiang's office.

In fact, it was not a serious guest, it was Qin Moling who came. He received a call from Jiang Shenghe last night, asking him to come over today.

"What's the matter, I have to meet and talk about it." Qin Moling leaned on the sofa with his legs crossed, and unconsciously turned on the screen saver of his phone to see his wedding photo.

Jiang Shenghe showed kindness today, made a cup of coffee for Qin Moling, and brought it to the coffee table himself.

Qin Moling was flattered, "Nothing to show courtesy." He put his phone on the armrest, "Tell me, what's the matter?"

Jiang Shenghe asked him when he would go to Teacher Chen's house for dinner. Teacher Chen is their primary class teacher and Qin Moling's mother-in-law.

"what?"

"I'll take Rocky there."

"?" Qin Moling was puzzled.

"I didn't ask you to help me in vain. Let me tell you a secret."

Qin Moling: "Not interested."

He knew Jiang Shenghe when he couldn't speak, and there was no secret he didn't know. The adults of the two families kept talking about the embarrassing incident when they were young, and there was really no secret at all.

If there is, it may be a commercial secret.

If it's a money-making project, Jiang Shenghe won't eat alone, so it doesn't matter whether he knows it now or not.

Jiang Shenghe said, "Emotionally."

Qin Moling changed his tone: "You can go to eat if you want, and I will find the reason for you." His chin nodded, indicating that he could tell the secret.

"I've liked Rocky for seven years."

"How many years?" Qin Moling sat up straight suddenly, thinking that he had misheard.

"More than seven years."

"Still in Yuanwei Capital?"

"Um."

"So Yuanwei Medical?"

"It's about her."

Qin Moling couldn't believe it, "Didn't you just talk nonsense?"

Jiang Shenghe glanced at him speechlessly, got up and sat back at the desk, "I've told you the secret, the promised matter has been done. Go back, it's such a good opportunity to write a small composition and laugh at me, don't you hurry up?"

"Don't be a villain, you think I'm you."

In the past, Qin Moling might have done this, but now that he is married, he is not interested in such boring and childish things.

Jian Hang would never wish his husband to be immature and unsteady.

Jiang Shenghe asked, "When will you and Jian Hang have their wedding?"

Qin Moling: "The wedding is scheduled for September, the day before Teacher's Day."

The certificate was obtained, the wedding photos were taken, and they lived in the same bedroom, but he and Jian Hang didn't know each other very well.

The coffee Jiang Shenghe made for him was not wasted at all, so he left after drinking it.

Not long after Qin Moling left, someone came to visit again.

The person's surname is Bai, and he has business dealings with Luo Qi's aunt's company. Recently, Pei Shixiao's family ended their cooperation, and Mr. Bai's company naturally became the number one customer of Aunt Luo's company.

The elders in Shanghai said last night to help contact the eldest aunt, and arranged for Mr. Bai to come over today.

Jiang Shenghe stood up to greet him, "I'm sorry for the trouble, Mr. Bai."

"You're welcome, don't bother me. I happen to be on a business trip in Beijing, so I just dropped by."

President Bai told Jiang Shenghe that the vice president had informed Aunt Luo Qi to stop all cooperation.

He unlocked the phone and handed it to Jiang Shenghe, "I made an appointment to call me at half past ten."

Jiang Shenghe took the phone, thank you again. It is inconvenient for him to contact his aunt in person, and the teacher is unknown, so he can only borrow his identity.

There are still 20 minutes until 10:30, so he has enough time to make a cup of tea for Boss Bai.

Since Luo Qi came to the CEO's office, he didn't bother any of them to bring tea and water. No matter who came, he personally entertained them. Several friends also ridiculed him for condescending one day, so that his praise in the circle has been rising in the past six months.

They thought that he had discovered his conscience and started to be a human being, but he was not.

It's just for one person.

After the tea was brewed, Boss Bai was as flattered as Qin Moling, and took the teacup to thank him again and again.

It's so rare to drink the tea made by Mr. Jiang San.

At 10:28, in Sucheng, the eldest aunt was pacing up and down in front of the office window, her mind was in a mess. All the customers of the company are maintained by her. Before seven o'clock this morning, she received a call from the vice president of the customer, saying that the order was suspended. As for the specific reason, she was asked to contact the boss, Mr. Bai.

The vice president said that Boss Bai didn't have time until 10:30, so don't disturb him in advance.

Now Boss Bai's company is their ancestor, so they have to pay for it.

If this big client also goes yellow, the company will drink the northwest wind.

Two minutes is longer than two years, counting the past seconds by seconds.

The eldest aunt folded her arms with one hand and pressed the center of her brows hard. Last night, Luo Qi was so angry that she didn't sleep well. This morning, she wanted to sleep more, but was woken up by the phone again, and instantly lost her sleepiness.

Boss Bai's cooperation has been suspended. She hasn't dared to tell her husband and son that they have been bothered enough recently.

In two minutes, the eldest aunt checked the phone several times.

Finally at 10:31, she called Boss Bai.

In the past, she always communicated with the vice president. She had never met Boss Bai, and it was the first time she talked with Boss Bai on the phone.

"Mr. Bai, hello, excuse me." Then he announced his family name.

A deep voice came from the phone, "Are you Aunt Luo Qi?"

The eldest aunt was stunned for a moment, "Hey, that's right." How could she have imagined that the person talking to her was not Mr. Bai, but Jiang Shenghe. She seemed to be grabbing driftwood, "Mr. Bai, you know our family Kiki?"

Jiang Shenghe was straightforward: "Don't be too close, Luo Qi told me that you have a bad relationship."

"..."

The aunt's expression froze, and she suddenly realized that Boss Bai wanted to stop cooperating. It turned out that Luo Qi was behind it!

She underestimated Rocky too much.

It's promising, it's really promising, feed the unfamiliar white-eyed wolf! He actually played against their company.

But if you have a temper, you have to bear it. No matter who makes the other party an ancestor, she still has to smile at each other no matter how angry she is: "Boss Bai, may I ask, what is your relationship with Luo Qi?"

Jiang Shenghe glanced at Mr. Bai, who gestured his age with his hand. He is thirty-six years old this year.

Seven years older than Luo Qi, it is impossible to be a classmate.

Jiang Shenghe said to the mobile phone: "Luo Qi and I are schoolmates, and now we have cooperation with Yuanwei. She handles the project and we often meet."

The auntie knew it well: "Mr. Bai, then you must know about Qiqi breaking up with her boyfriend. We are the elders who persuade us to make peace and not to persuade us to break up. This child doesn't listen to us and thinks we are meddling. She..."

Jiang Shenghe interrupted her, and said sharply: "All the points are divided, why are you still trying to persuade me!"

Aunt: "..."

I've never seen someone so arrogant and unreasonable.

"Don't we wish Rocky well?"

"Aside from threatening her, what can you do for her?"

"I didn't threaten her. How could my own children threaten her? Mr. Bai, there is a misunderstanding. You can't just listen to Luo Qi's one-sided words. Listen to me..."

Jiang Shenghe interrupted the eldest aunt again: "I don't have time to listen to your gossip. Luo Qi can do whatever she wants."

Aunt: "..."

She was smooth, and if someone else dared to speak to her like that, she would directly turn back, but Mr. Bai on the other end of the phone was their company's biggest customer, so she couldn't afford to offend him.

Boss Bai said just now that their company is now cooperating with Yuanwei, and Luo Qi is the one who handles it. That is to say, Luo Qi's contacts are needed, and for the benefit of the company, Boss Bai will definitely vent his anger on Luo Qi.

People have to bow their heads under the eaves.

She put down her face, "Boss Bai, tell me, what should I do so that the cooperation can continue?"

Jiang Shenghe: "From today onwards, you are not allowed to mention the debt of 10 million yuan. If you pay it off in three years, you will pay it off in three years. You are not allowed to bully others with other relatives in your family, and look down on Luo Qi and her parents. Don't bother Luo Qi anymore, and make her unhappy."

The eldest aunt quickly stated: "Don't worry, I will definitely do it."

"I haven't finished yet. Apologize to Rocky."

"By..." What!

The eldest aunt almost blurted out.

Jiang Shenghe took the words of his aunt: "Because I am more capable than you, because I don't see Luo Qi being wronged a little bit, because I can't understand the behavior of a person like you, and because I have seven inches of your company. Is that enough reason?"

"..."

The eldest aunt was already cursing in her heart.

She's never been so useless in her life.

"I know you have opinions on me, and if you have opinions, keep them for me."

"No objection." The aunt scolded in her heart, and said against her will: "Mr. Bai, you misunderstood."

Boss Bai picked up the teacup and sipped the tea silently. It was also the first time he saw Jiang Shenghe, felt his aura, and saw his arrogance.

Jiang Shenghe: "At twelve o'clock at noon, call Luo Qi to apologize, if you are one minute late, if your tone is bad, the cooperation will be terminated."

He took the phone from his ear and snapped it off.

"Thank you." He returned the phone to Boss Bai, "I'm sorry, I will cause you to be scolded by my aunt for a few days."

Boss Bai smiled and waved his hands, "It's okay, she won't scold me alone."

The matter of the eldest aunt has been settled, and I will wait for the apology at noon.

At 11:40, Jiang Shenghe went to look for Luo Qi with two cucumbers in his hand: "Be busy when you come back, let's eat first."

"Alright Mr. Jiang, wait a moment." Luo Qi hurriedly put away the important documents and put them in the safe. When the boss had something to explain to them, he would have lunch with them.

After she packed up and stood up, she noticed the cucumbers in the boss's hand, but there were only two of them.

"President Jiang, I'll carry it."

"No need." Jiang Shenghe stepped away, with big steps, and didn't deliberately wait for her.

Luo Qi could only take two and three steps, and the boss had long legs, so he had to trot every time he walked behind him. In Xiao Jiang's words, after a day of running, there is no need to exercise after returning home.

I don't know why the boss brought two cucumbers.

Fruit after meal?

The boss and several directors have a special place to eat, but the big leaders are either on business trips or have other entertainment, and few people eat in the cafeteria.

Today the small restaurant is empty, only the boss and her.

When they arrived at the cafeteria, Jiang Shenghe handed the cucumbers to the chef.

Sit down, Luo Qi waits for the boss to explain the work.

Jiang Shenghe said, "Release your aunt's phone number from the blacklist first, and she will call you at twelve o'clock to apologize."

"?"

Luo Qi was stunned for a moment, "Did you find her?"

"Well, it's completely resolved. I don't want to work overtime because of your aunt in the future."

"..."

Luo Qi took out her mobile phone and temporarily released her aunt's number from the blacklist.

When the dish came, there was an extra dish of cucumber.

It turned out that the boss asked the chef to mix the two cucumbers cold.

Before I started eating, my aunt's call came in on time, within a minute.

Jiang Shenghe: "Open it outside, let me hear if her tone is up to standard."

When the eldest aunt heard Mr. Bai's voice, she was glad that she was not obedient, and called on time, "Mr. Bai, hello."

"Um."

Luo Qi was confused, and before she had time to think about it, her aunt had already talked to her: "Luo Qi, my aunt may have reached menopause recently, she has a bad temper, and sometimes she speaks inappropriately, so don't take it to heart."

Luo Qi: "It's fine to apologize, it's all hypocrisy."

The eldest aunt's face was hot, and she endured it and didn't get angry. She was humiliated by a junior, and she couldn't refute it. Her internal organs were about to explode with anger. She had never been so aggrieved.

Luo Qi took advantage of the boss to warn her aunt: "My parents don't have as much money as you, so forget it if you look down on me. I don't care. Next time, if you dare to say something about looking down on your relatives and embarrass them in front of them, I will give you money." won't let you."

After speaking, hang up the phone directly.

Thinking that her parents have not been respected by relatives in the past few years, she feels uncomfortable.

Jiang Shenghe: "They won't dare in the future."

Luo Qi slowed down, remembered and asked, "Who is Mr. Bai?"

"The biggest client of your uncle's company is the one who came to my office this morning."

When Luo Qi heard that it was a client, she couldn't help worrying: "Then the cooperation between Boss Bai and uncle's company?"

Jiang Shenghe said: "It doesn't matter. I'm just threatening your aunt through Boss Bai. Luo Yuli treats you well. How could I make things difficult for him."

He nodded slightly, "Eat."

He asked her again in a gentle voice: "Is your heart going well?"

"Yeah." Luo Qi hadn't felt so happy for a long time.

There was a moment of silence.

This is not the atmosphere for a conversation between a boss and a subordinate.

Some things that have happened in the past few days have been cut and chaotic.

Hold an umbrella for her that night.

Rainy night oil painting in the circle of friends.

And vent her anger today.

The reason for helping her every time is for business, in order not to affect the work, if Xiao Jiang encounters such a bad thing, the boss should also help.

Thinking about it this way, I feel that I have over-interpreted the behavior of the boss.

But I have to admit that she is greedy for this kind of blatant protection. But this won't work, she can't let herself be inappropriate, and in the end it will only be herself who will be troubled.

For Ruipu Medical, in the fourth quarter at the latest, the group will arrange for someone to take over, and there will be personnel adjustments at the end of September. For the sake of salary, and in order not to affect her mood, she had to leave even if she was not willing to let the president do it.

She looked up at him, "Thank you Mr. Jiang."

They have never looked at each other so closely before, Jiang Shenghe said: "Don't thank me in advance, I have a favor for you to help."

Luo Qi looked away, "Mr. Jiang, just tell me."

Jiang Shenghe: "Qin Moling has obtained the certificate, don't you know?"

"Yeah." Luo Qi heard from the boss that Qin Moling was with the daughter of their elementary school teacher's family, and the two knew each other on a blind date without any relationship.

"Qin Moling and Jian Hang have no relationship foundation, and he is the most troublesome student of our homeroom teacher in elementary school. Now that he is married, he has to go to Jian Hang's house to visit his parents-in-law. He is afraid of embarrassment and cold silence, so he asked me to go too, so as to visit Chen. The teacher's reason is over. How can I ease the atmosphere, you and I are responsible for adjusting the atmosphere."

Luo Qi: "...I'm an assistant, so it wasn't suitable for me in the past?"

"It's nothing inappropriate. My aunt often takes you to her friend's house for dinner. Besides, you and Jian Hang are still schoolmates."

Jiang Shenghe said: "Make time for next Friday night."

He wanted to take her to experience the family atmosphere, without being so reserved, without having to treat him as the boss all the time.

She should be able to chat with Jian Hang, and let her enter his circle of friends slowly and without burden.
