Chapter 6 Prelude to Collapse

There was the sound of high heels stepping on the marble floor behind me, followed by a familiar voice: "Hello, sir, may I ask..."
Wei Ran raised his head and looked at Su Qingxin who was walking over.
Su Qingxin was stunned and said, "Wei Ran..."
"So..." He stood up, looked at her, and said, "You still remember me."
The spark of time suddenly bursts, and two old friends meet, but it is a pity that the old friends are no longer the same as yesterday.
Su Qingxin avoided his gaze and said, "Please excuse me for a moment to talk."
She took him to the company's empty coffee shop and asked for two cups of coffee. After a long while, Su Qingxin finally said, "Long time no see."
"Only five years." Wei Ran stirred his coffee and said calmly with his eyebrows lowered.
Su Qingxin glanced at the black bracelet she had given him on the wrist he was stirring the coffee on, pursed her lips and asked, "How are you now... I mean, how have you been these past few years?"
Wei Ran looked up and smiled, "Very good, I just changed jobs to Guokang not long ago. "
"Guokang." Su Qingxin knew that Guokang and Huamei were the two giants of Hefei's electronic commerce. She asked again, "The last time I saw you, you were in a western restaurant..."
"It's owned by a friend of mine. I go there to help out when I'm bored and make a little money." Wei Ran drank his coffee, his eyes fell on Su Qingxin's face through the rim of the coffee cup, and asked, "We didn't say anything when we met last time, but it seems that you are doing well now."
Su Qingxin forced out a professional smile, crossed her hands on the table, and said, "Well, it's good."
Wei Ran had a smile on his face, but he felt bitter inside. He said, "Congratulations... on finding a boyfriend who loves you so much."
Su Qingxin smiled back and said, "Congratulations to you too... I saw a pregnant woman next to you last time, and I thought..."
"You were there that day, right?" Wei Ran stared at Su Qingxin, as if he wanted to see into her heart.
Su Qingxin lied, "I thought I was seeing things. I wondered how you could be here."
Wei Ran put down the coffee cup and said, "That's my cousin. My brother-in-law is on a business trip, so he asked me to help take care of her."
For some reason, she felt relieved. Su Qingxin smiled and said, "Is that so? I misunderstood. Sorry."
"But, Su Qingxin." Wei Ran completely ignored her apology and asked, "I'm still single now. Do you know why I'm still single?"
Su Qingxin said nothing.
Wei Ran smiled brightly, but with tears in his eyes, he said, "I'm waiting for you!"
Su Qingxin's breathing stagnated and she turned her head away.
Wei Ran couldn't help but feel ironic when she saw her avoiding the question, and continued to ask: "To be precise, I'm looking for you. Su Qingxin, have you looked for me in these years? What about the agreement we made? Have you forgotten it?"
Every word he questioned her was like a red-hot iron branding his heart.
Su Qingxin suppressed her sadness, met Wei Ran's gaze, and said, "Those were things from our youth, they don't count."
Wei Ran felt as if he had been severely trampled by Su Qingxin. He gritted his teeth and asked, "Does it really not count at all? Su Qingxin, every word you say now comes from the deepest and most real thoughts in your heart? Do you really... think that it is youthful and frivolous and nothing counts?"
Su Qingxin held the coffee cup, scratched the wall of the cup with her fingers, suppressed the turmoil in her heart, and said calmly, "Wei Ran, a lot of things have happened in the past five years. We are no longer who we used to be."
"But I have been waiting for you and looking for you." Wei Ran's eyes were red. He had something that had been accumulating for five years and wanted to tell Su Qingxin, but the Su Qingxin in front of him made him feel unfamiliar.
Is it true that their relationship is only in the past?
Su Qingxin frowned and smiled, saying, "Wei Ran, we didn't seize the opportunity to meet again. If we could meet again, we would have met in Haicheng a long time ago. Wei Ran, I have a boyfriend now, I hope you won't come to disturb me."
"But I went to Haicheng to look for you. I stayed in Haicheng for half a month! Your neighbor said you left with a boy!" Wei Ran stood up and slapped his hands on the table. He leaned forward slightly, his face flushed. He was angry. Why didn't Su Qingxin leave him a little message, making him live alone and blame himself for five years? In the past five years, he has been thinking about her all the time. Didn't she ever think about him?
Su Qingxin sat in a chair in a daze. It turned out that he really fulfilled his promise and came to find her. But why did God let them pass by each other? What could she use to like Wei Ran now?
There was nothing else except the pure and beautiful past! She was now Chi Yuecheng's person, her body and soul were not complete, how could she deserve to like Wei Ran again ?
"Wei Ran..." Su Qingxin turned her head, sighed softly, and said, "Forget the past. Just pretend that you have never known Su Qingxin, and that you have never met this person, okay?"
Wei Ran's fingertips were cold. He slowly stood up and stared at Su Qingxin as if he was staring at a monster. Look how calmly she spoke, as if erasing memories was an extremely easy thing.
"Su Qingxin..." Wei Ran called her name stupidly, and said, "I thought it was stupid enough for me to like you. Now I feel that my long wait and the mistaken belief that you like me are the stupidest things I have ever done in my life."
After saying this, Wei Ran took a step back. The chair was pushed away, leaving a harsh sound on the ground. He left the person in front of him who he had spent his entire youth loving, and left resolutely.
Suddenly, the boy's voice rang in his ears. On the abandoned rooftop, Wei Ran said to Su Qingxin thoughtfully: "Su Qingxin, let's not be like this in the future, okay?" Wei Ran didn't want to be separated from Su Qingxin like his parents.
At that time, Su Qingxin slightly raised her head, looked at Wei Ran's profile, and replied sweetly: "Okay."
That night, Su Qingxin didn't see the corners of Wei Ran's mouth suddenly curled up in the dark. He smiled for such an answer. And he firmly believed that he and Su Qingxin would never be separated like their parents.
However, time did not spare them.
They still separated.
"despair--"
A tear fell on her arm, Su Qingxin slowly wiped it away, and wiped the moisture from the corner of her eyes with her fingers. She looked calm, as if this breakup was just a trivial matter to her.
Letting go of Wei Ran was something she had already decided when she decided to accept Chi Yuecheng's confession.
Wei Ran is so beautiful in her heart and deserves to be cherished by a better person.
Su Qingxin, she doesn't deserve it.
In a corner of the coffee shop, Zhu Panpan was watching and listening to all this, not knowing what had happened between Su Qingxin and Wei Ran that was enough to separate them. She couldn't understand, wouldn't it be better to have a pure relationship? Why did she have to think so much? The relationship between her and Yang Ye was pure.
Su Qingxin sat in the coffee shop for a long time, and Zhu Panpan also hid for a long time. She couldn't see Su Qingxin's face clearly, but she knew that Su Qingxin must be sad, otherwise, she wouldn't sit there and forget the time.
After Su Qingxin returned to the office, Zhu Panpan also entered the office with the documents she wanted.
Zhu Panpan put the documents down, leaned over the table, and said mysteriously: "Hey, Qingxin, do you want to go shopping after get off work tomorrow?"
"Shopping?" Su Qingxin hadn't come back to her senses yet.
Zhu Panpan nodded several times vigorously and said, "Yes, yes, I want to take a look at the new lipsticks. Also, I don't have any new clothes to wear." After saying that, she pouted, looking very aggrieved.
Twenty-three is a beautiful age. How can you show your unique temperament without new clothes?
Su Qingxin smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll postpone my date with Chi Yuecheng and go with you."
"Wow! What a good friend!" Zhu Panpan grabbed Su Qingxin's hand and said gratefully, "For your kindness, I'll treat you to dinner tomorrow!"
"Stop flattering me and go out to work." Su Qingxin knew what Zhu Panpan was thinking and started to chase her away.
Zhu Panpan stuck out her tongue and walked out of the office consciously. The moment the door closed, Zhu Panpan felt relieved. She originally wanted to take Su Qingxin out to relax, but she was afraid that she would not agree because she was in a bad mood. Now it's all right. Su Qingxin is much braver than Zhu Panpan thought.
The next day after get off work, Zhu Panpan dragged Su Qingxin to the department store. Su Qingxin was dragged from Gate 1 to Gate 8, and from the first floor to the fifth floor. The soles of her feet were already in great pain, but Zhu Panpan was still full of energy.
Su Qingxin was carrying a dozen shopping bags of various sizes. She looked at the watch on her wrist and called out to Zhu Panpan who was walking in front of her: "Panpan, we have been walking for three hours. Let's take a break."
Zhu Panpan was full of energy. She turned around and said, "It's dinner time anyway. Let's find a restaurant to sit down and rest. Hey, Su Qingxin, you carry less things than me. Are you so bad at shopping?"
"I don't like shopping at all." Su Qingxin muttered.
Zhu Panpan came back and took Su Qingxin away, saying, "You are so beautiful, it would be a pity if you don't show off yourself."
Su Qingxin was speechless. Zhu Panpan used to be a man, but now he has grown up and turned into a girl. But this is also good. Su Qingxin also wants to live like Zhu Panpan, but she is not as lucky as Zhu Panpan.
Su Qingxin was pulled by Zhu Panpan, and helplessly listened to her chattering about how delicious the food was in the restaurant they were going to.
At this time, a group of enthusiastic teenagers passed by Su Qingxin on roller skates, laughing and joking. Su Qingxin's hair was blown by the wind as their figures flashed by. She didn't notice the familiar face among them, but that face noticed her.
"Su Qingxin?" A boy's voice sounded behind him.
Su Qingxin was stunned and turned around.
A boy wearing a baseball cap and a red sports T-shirt came up to her on roller skates, took off his baseball cap, and asked in confusion, "Is it really you?"
"Feng... Ruixing?" Although Feng Ruixing was thinner and taller than before, and dressed more fashionably, Su Qingxin still recognized him.
She had met him not long ago, in Tongcheng.
But shouldn't Feng Ruixing be studying at Tongcheng University now? Why is she here?
A girl with a delicate face, big breasts and a thin waist came up and looked at Su Qingxin tentatively, asking, "Axing, who is this?"
"My sister." Feng Ruixing scratched his head and answered hesitantly, then he was busy introducing the girl next to him to Su Qingxin, "This is my girlfriend Lu Xi."
Su Qingxin glanced at them indifferently and said, "Oh." Then, she pulled Zhu Panpan and wanted to leave.
Feng Ruixing quickly stood in front of Su Qingxin.
Seeing this, Zhu Panpan protected Su Qingxin and scolded, "Feng Ruixing, what do you want to do now?"
"I don't want to do anything. It's just that I haven't seen Sister Su for a long time and I want to say a few more words." Feng Ruixing glared at Zhu Panpan.
Su Qingxin didn't even look at him and said, "You don't have to call me sister. We are not siblings, and our relationship is not good enough for me to stay here and listen to you say a few more words."
Feng Ruixing seemed not to have heard Su Qingxin's words. She looked down at the shopping bags in her hands and asked, "You seem to be doing well now?"
"What does it have to do with you whether I'm living a good life or not?" Zhu Panpan retorted on behalf of Su Qingxin.
Feng Ruixing gritted his teeth and frowned, then turned to Zhu Panpan, crossed his arms over his chest, stood in a nonchalant manner, and asked, "Did I ask you?"
"Don't worry about it! If you don't take it lightly, it will definitely be bad!" Zhu Panpan shouted without caring about her image.
Su Qingxin didn't want to argue any more, so she grabbed Zhu Panpan's hand and said, "Let's go."
Feng Ruixing couldn't stop them, and shouted at Su Qingxin's back: "Hey, Sister Su! Hey! Su Qingxin——"
Su Qingxin pretended not to hear anything and didn't even turn her head.
"Isn't that too unkind?" Feng Ruixing said with a pout.
Lu Xi nudged Feng Ruixing with her arm and asked sourly, "Hey, when did you get a sister? Why have I never heard you mention it?"
"Why should I tell you that I have a sister? My sister is rich now!" Feng Ruixing pointed at Su Qingxin's receding back with his thumb and showed off arrogantly.
Lucy pouted, raised her fist and hit him on the shoulder, cursing, "Shameless!"
Feng Ruixing domineeringly hugged Lucy in his arms, shouted to his brothers beside him and skated away.
Su Qingxin didn't know why Feng Ruixing appeared here, and she was absent-minded even when eating. But where Feng Ruixing was, what did it have to do with her? He had nothing to do with her.
Zhu Panpan looked at Su Qingxin, who was in front of her with a gloomy face, and tried every means to divert her attention. She originally wanted to take Su Qingxin out to relax, but she didn't expect that she would encounter another bad thing.
Su Qingxin noticed Zhu Panpan's intention and temporarily put Feng Ruixing's matter aside. She accompanied Zhu Panpan for dinner, and then the two took the subway home.
Before going to bed at night, Su Qingxin called Zhang Yishi and asked if Shu Fan was okay.
"I'm here, everything is fine. You don't have to worry about me these days. Don't you have a contract to sign? Go and do your thing, I'll leave this to you."
Su Qingxin could hear the sound of Zhang Yishi brushing his teeth, so she moved her phone away. When the sound of brushing became quieter, she put the phone close to her ear and said, "Thank you for your help."
"No trouble, go and have a rest." Zhang Yishi said, gargling his mouth.
Su Qingxin hung up the phone and slowly walked into the bathroom.
Zhang Yishi remembered her work better than she did. She had a contract to sign with Chi Yuecheng tomorrow and she almost forgot about it.
The company has produced a new batch of keyboards and stereos. She and Chi Yuecheng will go to several computer malls and major electrical appliance stores in Hefei to negotiate contracts. After the contracts in Hefei are finalized, they will go to other places to sign. In short, she will be busy these days.
Starting from the next day, Su Qingxin and Chi Yuecheng began to sign contracts with various partners, and everything went smoothly. However, when facing L Electric Appliances, the company's partner for several years, they encountered a bottleneck.
"Mr. Wang, are you saying that we have a new partner?" Su Qingxin asked the question again. She had not even shown the product samples and specification data to the other party, but the other party decisively refused.
Mr. Wang tried to refuse, and said, "Mr. Su, I have been using your products for many years, and the pace of new product introductions is very slow. I already have a new partner, so you guys should do as you please." Then he stood up and wanted to leave.
"Is the new partner that Mr. Wang mentioned Guokang? As far as I know, they have also launched a new combination audio system." Chi Yuecheng, who had not said a word during the whole process, suddenly opened his mouth and asked.
"It's Guokang. I've seen their system audio system. The performance, sound quality and appearance are all very good. Yours is really...really..." Mr. Wang's eyes were filled with undisguised disdain, and he pouted.
Chi Yuecheng held his chin, nodded slowly, and said, "I've heard that Guokang's combination audio system was designed by Nike, a famous British engineer. I heard that Nike lost a lot of money last year because of plagiarizing other people's designs. Qingxin, let's go. Our company's engineers are no match for Nike."
"This Nike design is all his hard work. Guokang spent a lot of money to buy his design."
A strong male voice came, Su Qingxin and Chi Yuecheng turned around at the same time, and saw Wei Ran, dressed in formal clothes, walking out of the door, followed by a woman wearing glasses. Su Qingxin recognized that face, it was Tan Ruxi, whom she had not seen for a long time.
Wei Ran threw a stack of documents on the table, lowered his eyes and asked, "Mr. Chi and Miss Su, would you like to take a look?"
Chi Yuecheng smiled lazily and said, "No. If we lose a partner, we can find another one. Besides, the total sales of Mr. Wang's company have been declining rapidly in the past three years. We don't want to eat fat meat that is about to stink."
"You! Chi Yuecheng! What are you talking about!" When Mr. Wang saw Chi Yuecheng secretly damaging his own performance, he pointed at his nose and scolded him.
Wei Ran raised his hand slightly and smiled at Chi Yuecheng, "Your company really can't save this piece of fat meat that hasn't yet rotted, and we can't say anything. We can only wish Mr. Chi and Miss Su good luck in the next negotiations."
"Hahaha." Chi Yuecheng smiled and patted Wei Ran's shoulder, saying, "Work is a small matter, and yourself is a big matter. Qingxin and I only visit one company a day, and the rest of the time we spend dating."
Wei Ran still had a smile on his face, but the muscles at the corners of his mouth twitched unconsciously.
"Qingxin, let's go." Chi Yuecheng turned his head to look at Su Qingxin, reached out and took her hand, and led her out of Mr. Wang's office.
Su Qingxin didn't look at Wei Ran once during the whole process. Her expression remained indifferent, as if everything had nothing to do with her.
Looking at Su Qingxin's back, Wei Ran's emotions slowly calmed down. He was breathing heavily, his eyes were red.
Qin Ruxi looked at him worriedly and asked, "Wei Ran, are you okay?"
"It's okay!" Wei Ran said angrily, "Go sign with another company. I don't believe they really don't care!" After that, he walked out angrily, completely losing his previous demeanor.
Qin Ruxi sighed and followed Wei Ran. Why was it that after five years, the girl who had been away for five years could still so easily influence Wei Ran's mood?
After Su Qingxin left Tongcheng, Wei Ran ignored Qin Ruxi, but Qin Ruxi always cared about Wei Ran. No one knew what happened to Wei Ran, and no one knew where Wei Ran went after his junior year. Only Qin Ruxi knew. On the day Wei Ran left, Qin Ruxi chased him to the train station and remembered the name of the city he went to. A year later, Qin Ruxi, a senior in college, carried her bag, took off the title of "rich second generation", and came to Hefei alone to find Wei Ran.
She found him in this strange city. She accompanied Wei Ran while working part-time and studying marketing on her own, and then followed him into Guokang.
Each of Wei Ran's forum IDs is Jay Chou's lyrics "Someone loves you for a long time", and the signature under each ID is "Su Qingxin, I'm waiting for you". When Qin Ruxi is drunk, she will go to Wei Ran to quarrel. She said, if Su Qingxin really cares about you, she would have seen these messages and returned. She said, Wei Ran, give up, Su Qingxin doesn't love you!
However, Wei Ran couldn't give up, even though Su Qingxin said to him in person: "Please give up."
After following Chi Yuecheng out, Su Qingxin sat in Chi Yuecheng's car, her eyes dull and her thoughts drifting away.
After a long time, Su Qingxin said, "Please take me to Zhang Yishi's place."
Chi Yuecheng did not answer her directly, and said: "Su Qingxin, I am your boyfriend. You should not go to Zhang Yishi every time you encounter something. Yes, Zhang Yishi is your great benefactor and has accompanied you through your most desperate moments, but I will not be happy about it."
Su Qingxin ignored Chi Yuecheng's jealousy and said, "I went to Zhang Yishi's place not to see him, but to see my mother."
"Your mother?" Chi Yuecheng frowned and asked, "Why have I never heard of your mother?"
"You didn't ask me either." Su Qingxin responded indifferently.
Chi Yuecheng was concerned about how many men Su Qingxin had around her, but never cared about her family or what she wanted. He stopped the car on the side of the road and asked, "Does your mother live in the same place as Zhang Yishi?"
"You don't need to ask so many questions, just send me there."
Su Qingxin's cold attitude made Chi Yuecheng a little annoyed. He put his hands in his arms and said, "This is not the attitude to ask for help."
Su Qingxin glanced at him indifferently, stretched out her hand to open the car door and wanted to get out and take a taxi, but the door was closed tightly by Chi Yuecheng. Su Qingxin stared at Chi Yuecheng and said, "Open the door!"
Chi Yuecheng leaned on the driver's seat and said shamelessly: "Beg me..."
Su Qingxin never said a word. Since Chi Yuecheng wouldn't let her get out of the car, she would just sit here. Anyway, when the traffic police came to issue a ticket for illegal parking, she wouldn't be the one to be deducted points.
Seeing Su Qingxin's relaxed look, Chi Yuecheng became annoyed. With a dark face, he stepped on the clutch and drove towards the community where Zhang Yishi lived.
I don’t know if it’s because Su Qingxin was hot and cold towards him, Chi Yuecheng only thought about how to conquer her, and thus forgot how to make her happy and how to get into her heart.
The car stopped downstairs in the community and Su Qingxin began to unbuckle her seat belt.
"Su Qingxin." Chi Yuecheng suddenly called her.
Su Qingxin raised her head, and Chi Yuecheng's face magnified in front of her. He put his arm around her shoulders, kissed her hard on the lips, and said domineeringly: "I'll go back to your house and wait for you!"
Before Su Qingxin came to her senses, Chi Yuecheng urged her to get out of the car. Su Qingxin unbuckled her seat belt, opened the door and got out. Chi Yuecheng drove away immediately. Su Qingxin looked at the direction the car left in confusion, then turned and entered the community.
In the corner of the corridor, Su Qingxin knocked on the door, and the person who opened the door was Zhang Yishi, who was wearing an apron.
In the past few years, under Su Qingxin's pressure, Zhang Yishi also learned to cook some simple dishes. When Su Qingxin was busy, Zhang Yishi would take the initiative to cook some meals for Su Qingxin.
Seeing Su Qingxin coming, Zhang Yishi stepped aside to let her in and said, "I thought you weren't coming today."
"I almost couldn't come."
Su Qingxin put down her bag, came to Shu Fan, squatted in front of her, held her hand, and gently called: "Mom, how are you today?"
Shu Fan nodded blankly, like a body with a hollow soul, and stared out the window in a daze. Su Qingxin always felt that her mother was not just suffering from depression. She turned to Zhang Yishi and said, "Zhang Yishi, I want to take my mother to the hospital for another checkup."
Zhang Yishi, who was busy in the kitchen, said, "It's no use. Many times when you were not around, I helped her to the table to eat. As soon as I pulled her, she started screaming so loudly that everyone in the building could hear her. Now she only wants to stay here and doesn't want to go anywhere else."
"We can't keep going like this. How about we call a doctor over to take a look?" Su Qingxin was a little worried.
Zhang Yishi brought out the food and placed it on the table, saying, "I can take my annual leave these few days, so let me take care of it. Don't you have business to discuss?"
Su Qingxin brought the food to Shu Fan, fed her spoonful by spoonful, and said, "Zhang Yishi, I want to resign."
"No, that job is pretty good." Zhang Yishi wiped his hands on his apron and said.
"Not at all. I want to work for you." Su Qingxin muttered.
Zhang Yishi sat down, ate his meal in big mouthfuls, and said, "There are rough guys everywhere on our construction site. What are you doing there?"
"Go to where you work and sell houses. The land you are responsible for is a treasure land. You, as a foreman, can earn so much money every month. If I rely on my sales experience at Huamei, maybe I can earn more from you." Su Qingxin weighed it in her mind.
Zhang Yishi sneered and said, "Forget it. I get a high salary because I am capable of managing things well. Besides, the house is being built there, and I don't know where my next job will be. You can't always follow me."
"You have such great management experience, everyone would be vying for you." Su Qingxin rolled her eyes at him and said, "Stingy!"
Zhang Yishi can really do everything, of course, except for girls' work. Moreover, he can tell people what they want to tell people, and he has been in this society for too long, so he knows everything and has a firm grasp of it. Even if he doesn't have a diploma, with more than ten years of experience, it has never been difficult for him to find a job.
But he never mentioned his past to Su Qingxin. Su Qingxin also asked about it, but Zhang Yishi always avoided the question, so she never asked again. Zhang Yishi is already 30 years old this year, but he is still single. In fact, there are many girls pursuing Zhang Yishi, but Zhang Yishi doesn't like them. He said that he doesn't share the same values ​​with those girls, and it's tiring to get along with them. It's better to be free and easy by himself.
Su Qingxin sighed secretly. It seemed that she had to help Zhang Yishi worry about his lifelong affairs. She had heard from Zhu Panpan that Yang Ye worked in a marriage agency, so Su Qingxin called Zhu Panpan.
"No problem, I'll give the phone to Yang Ye, you talk to him. He's doing the laundry." Zhu Panpan chewed potato chips on the other end of the phone and called Yang Ye's name. Su Qingxin heard Yang Ye's hasty response from the other end, and then he ran over happily to answer the phone.
"Hello? Su Qingxin!" Yang Ye is still the same Yang Ye, impetuous and stubborn.
"Yang Ye." Su Qingxin called him softly.
Yang Ye was about to jump up and shouted, "Is it really you? Pang Pang said he met you, but I didn't believe it!"
"Yang Ye, who are you saying is fat?" Zhu Panpan's small voice came.
Yang Ye quickly comforted her: "You are not fat, you are not fat. Fatty is just my nickname for you."
Su Qingxin couldn't help laughing. Yang Ye and Zhu Panpan were really funny. It seemed that they were the same as before, and nothing had changed.
"Don't bother me!" Yang Ye coaxed Zhu Panpan, and then said to the phone, "Qingxin, what kind of single woman do you want to find?"
Su Qingxin gently pinched her chin, thought for a moment, and said, "Hmm... She's sexy and charming, probably over 30 years old. Zhang Yishi doesn't like girls younger than himself, and thinks young girls don't understand romance."
"Does that mean she should be the type that still has charm, has big breasts and a thin waist, can act coquettishly and also can whip people?" Yang Ye asked.
"Hmm..." Su Qingxin thought for a moment and said, "I think so."
"Please, Miss, would you keep such a top-notch guy for a blind date?" Yang Ye looked depressed.
Su Qingxin was a little embarrassed and said, "No, it doesn't need to be that good, just about right is fine."
Yang Ye sighed and directly exposed Zhang Yishi's intention, saying, "Qingxin, listen to me, your friend is either not really looking for a blind date, or he just wants to vent, okay?"
Su Qingxin was speechless, she pursed her lips tightly, not knowing what to say. She really couldn't figure out Zhang Yishi's hobbies. Thinking about the girls who had pursued him in the past few years, there were pure and gentle ones, and he was afraid of hurting them; there were also coquettish and fierce ones, and he said that such women were unreliable. After all this, she really didn't know what he was thinking.
Seeing that Su Qingxin didn't say anything, Yang Ye said again: "How about this, Qingxin, I'll keep an eye out for you. If there's a good girl, I'll introduce her to your friend. After all, he's your friend, we can't hurt him, right?"
Su Qingxin grabbed the phone and said repeatedly: "Thank you, Yang Ye, thank you!"
"You're welcome. Come and play with Panpan when you have time. I'll make you something delicious." Yang Ye said readily.
"Okay, sure." Su Qingxin breathed a sigh of relief and hung up the phone.
In the corner of the corridor, standing by the door, Zhang Yishi with his hands in his trouser pockets, leaned against the door frame, his eyes fixed on Su Qingxin who was on the phone. The dim corridor lights and the bright indoor lights intertwined, shining on his expressionless face.
Shu Fan, who was sitting on a chair in the room, slowly turned his head to look at him, then turned his head back.
After Su Qingxin finished this matter, she went back to clean up the house and said goodbye to Zhang Yishi and Shu Fan. When she returned to her apartment, it was already eight o'clock in the evening.
Su Qingxin opened the door and the room was dark. She had just changed her shoes at the entrance when she was hugged by a man who suddenly jumped out from behind her. Su Qingxin was startled for a moment before she realized it was Chi Yuecheng.
Chi Yuecheng hugged her tightly, freed one hand and snapped his fingers. The voice-controlled colored lights he specially arranged lit up in the room, and the various brilliant colors looked very romantic in the darkness.
"Didn't you go back?" Su Qingxin asked in a low voice.
"I don't want to go back. I want to live with you." Chi Yuecheng lowered his head slightly, bit Su Qingxin's exposed shoulder lightly, and his hand wandered dishonestly from her waist to her upper body.
Su Qingxin stopped his hand, but didn't expect his kiss to fall suddenly on her neck.
"Ah Cheng!" Su Qingxin turned around, leaned against the wall, supported Chi Yuecheng's chest with both hands, and said, "You promised me that you would not touch me without my permission!"
"You can't even kiss? Please, Su Qingxin, we are a couple, an adult couple."
In the darkness, Su Qingxin couldn't see his face clearly, but she could tell from the sound that he had no expression on his face at the moment.
"No...I'm not ready." Su Qingxin said awkwardly.
Chi Yuecheng grabbed her hand, pressed her against the wall, and said, "You didn't say that when you were drunk at my house." After that, he grabbed Su Qingxin's cheeks, leaned forward rudely, sealed her lips, and kissed her hard.
Su Qingxin tilted her head, motionless like a piece of wood.
It's always like this! It's always like this! Every time I make out with her, she's like a log!
Chi Yuecheng used more force, and his palms almost rubbed her body red. Su Qingxin's clothes were torn by Chi Yuecheng, but she did not struggle, and she refused to respond to any overbearing kiss.
Chi Yuecheng felt frustrated and suddenly reached out to push Su Qingxin away, almost pushing her to the ground.
"Su Qingxin! You are so awesome!" He gritted his teeth and angrily pulled down all the colored lights on the walls of the room. Then he sat down at the table with his fists clenched so hard that they made a clattering sound.
Su Qingxin put her clothes in order, walked behind Chi Yuecheng in a daze, and said calmly: "You haven't had dinner yet, I'll make it for you." After that, she put on her slippers, went into the bedroom, changed her clothes, and then walked into the kitchen.
The only light on in the whole house was in the kitchen. Su Qingxin washed vegetables and rice silently, cooking the dishes that Chi Yuecheng wanted to eat.
At the beginning, she promised Chi Yuecheng to be his girlfriend, but now she can't be intimate with Chi Yuecheng. Su Qingxin felt guilty about this matter. But she really couldn't do it. Whenever Chi Yuecheng was intimate with her, she would think of Wei Ran when she looked at his eyebrows.
How could she do that?
If you can't do it, then just don't do it.
That night, Chi Yuecheng ate the meal made by Su Qingxin in silence, and then slept on the sofa in the living room. Chi Yuecheng actually didn't fall asleep the whole time, he was thinking all the time, he could just let Su Qingxin go, because Su Qingxin was too tactless and not worthy of his love at all.
However, when he thought of that night when Su Qingxin got drunk, hugged him and cried non-stop, begging him not to leave, he softened his heart and didn't want to leave Su Qingxin. Since then, Chi Yuecheng has never seen Su Qingxin cry again. He tried many times, but except for the boy deep in Su Qingxin's memory, no one could open the door in her heart.
How could he accept that his girlfriend, Su Qingxin, was indifferent to him? He wanted to stay with her, torture her, torture her until she cried, torture her until she was willing to give in to him.
If there really comes such a day, Chi Yuecheng will definitely use his hard armor to protect the soft Su Qingxin.
But Su Qingxin is really too stubborn.
After that, they went to work together as usual like an ordinary couple, as if the farce had never happened. Chi Yuecheng returned to his vigorous and serious appearance in the company.
One day at noon, Zhu Panpan brought a piece of news to Su Qingxin that Guokang was going to spend a large amount of money to buy Huamei's new keyboard and stereo system. At that time, they would develop the market, and any sales would belong to Guokang.
"Are they complaining that our marketing methods are not good enough, or that our products are not high-end enough?" Zhu Panpan leaned against Su Qingxin's desk and complained dissatisfiedly.
Su Qingxin smiled and said, "Who would spend a lot of money to buy inferior products? They just think our marketing methods are not good enough."
"Come on, last year Huamei's profit was far ahead of Guokang!" Zhu Panpan had compared the market position and reputation of Huamei and Guokang before coming to Huamei, and she was very clear about this.
"But the massive loss of technical staff in the first half of this year has led to a slow pace of product updates, and Guokang's industry has gradually caught up." Su Qingxin printed out the sales sheet of new products within a month and said, "Guokang wants to buy our new products, which is frankly a kind of cooperation. Think about it, the cooperation between the two major e-commerce brand giants in Hefei is a big news. It was Wei Ran who came up with this idea, right? In fact, simple cooperation is also possible, and there is no need to buy our products. The reason why he wants to buy our products is probably to show me." As he said that, Su Qingxin threw the sales sheet on the table.
Zhu Panpan couldn't help but give a thumbs up and praised: "Otherwise why do you say you know Wei Ran. He is now waiting for you in the living room downstairs with Qin Ruxi, and he is holding a bag of cash in his hand, as if he is determined to win."
"Call Chi Yuecheng and come with me to meet him." Su Qingxin said.
"Okay, right away!" Zhu Panpan felt that there was going to be a big show, so she ran out to find Chi Yuecheng. Five minutes later, she followed Chi Yuecheng and Su Qingxin to the downstairs of the company.
Su Qingxin, Chi Yuecheng, Qin Ruxi and Wei Ran shook hands respectively, and then sat down facing each other.
"Panpan has already told me these things. If your company is sincere in cooperating, we will not refuse. But it would be a bit inappropriate to buy all the copyrights of our new products, right?" Su Qingxin went straight to the point, staring at Wei Ran with burning eyes.
Qin Ruxi answered for Wei Ran and said, "Miss Su is worried that it will have a negative impact on Huamei's reputation, and is afraid that the electronic brand circle will report that Huamei is becoming weaker and can only rely on Guokang to survive, right?"
Su Qingxin could hear the sarcasm and personal hostility in Qin Ruxi's words. She sat up straight, raised her head slightly, and said with sharp eyes: "I don't object to your statement, but business dealings are originally fair and just. I am the marketing manager of Huamei, and I have to be responsible for Huamei. Miss Qin, do you really think that you can buy our products with just the little money in the box?"
"But you, Huamei, are already on the brink of danger." Qin Ruxi said coldly.
"Oh." Su Qingxin didn't take it seriously and asked, "Then what?"
Seeing Su Qingxin's frivolous attitude, Qin Ruxi's face was not very good: "Guokang is helping Huamei this time!"
"Hua Mei has not fallen to the point where she needs help from her rivals. Miss Qin, being self-righteous is not an advantage." Su Qingxin said slowly. After so many years, Qin Ruxi has not changed at all, and is exactly the same as the spoiled and naughty young lady in the past.
"Su Qingxin, don't go too far!" Qin Ruxi was a little angry.
Chi Yuecheng, who was sitting on the side, defended Su Qingxin, rubbed his chin gently, and said, "Is your company coming to Huamei to quarrel? Mr. Wei, you have to keep an eye on your people and don't bite anyone you see."
Qin Ruxi knew what Chi Yuecheng meant, and was about to stand up in anger.
Wei Ran grabbed Qin Ruxi and said, "We are here to discuss business. I didn't manage my people well, I will teach her a lesson when I go back. Miss Su and Mr. Chi, if you have any opinions about this cooperation, please feel free to raise them. We can slowly work things out."
"Mr. Wei has already said that we are cooperating. Just now, our family Qingxin said that business must be fair and just. It can not only make Huamei and Guokang profit together, but also maintain a good reputation and image in the industry. Isn't this good? Since Guokang is willing to pay for our products, it must be confident in our products. Instead of selling the products to you, why don't we sell this product together." Everyone understood what Chi Yuecheng meant. If Guokang wanted to make a profit from Huamei's products, it had to purchase part of the copyright of Huamei's products, and then the two companies would sell the products together and share the profits according to the copyright ratio and their respective sales volume.
As for how to make it sound grandiose to the outside world, that's a piece of cake.
Upon hearing this, Wei Ran couldn't help but smile, took out the plan from his briefcase and handed it to Chi Yuecheng and Su Qingxin, saying, "Take a look."
In fact, Wei Ran and Chi Yuecheng had the same idea. Wei Ran had this idea partly because of Su Qingxin. He wanted to find a reason to meet Su Qingxin, and he wanted Su Qingxin to know that he was no worse than Chi Yuecheng. The idea of ​​buying the copyright of Huamei products was thought up by Qin Ruxi. If the copyright was bought, Huamei would be gone, and Wei Ran would not be able to meet Su Qingxin even if he wanted to.
Su Qingxin flipped through the plan in her hand. Before she finished reading a page, she heard a rough male voice coming from the front desk: "Hello, I'm looking for Miss Su Qingxin."
Su Qingxin raised her head, put the document down, walked a few steps, and said, "It's me."
The young man with dyed red hair was dressed in a punk style. He put his hands in his trouser pockets and walked over with his feet turned outward. He looked Su Qingxin up and down and asked, "Are you Su Qingxin? Feng Ruixing's sister?"
"I'm not his sister." Su Qingxin frowned slightly.
The man grinned, stretched out his hand, and said, "Don't be afraid, I'm Feng Ruixing's friend, my name is Zhang Chao."
"I said I'm not his sister, and I don't even know such a person." Su Qingxin was too lazy to pay attention to him and turned around to leave.
"But Feng Ruixing said you are his sister—" Zhang Chao's voice stretched out lazily. He leaned close to Su Qingxin's ear and jokingly said, "If you don't want to see Feng Ruixing die, then just don't admit it."
Su Qingxin frowned, turned back angrily, glared at Zhang Chao, and said to Chi Yuecheng: "Acheng! Call the police!"
When everyone heard this, they all sat up in shock.
Zhang Chao had a ruffian look on his face and said, "It's boring. What's the point of calling the police?" As he said that, he took out his cell phone and pointed it at Su Qingxin.
Su Qingxin saw a photo on the phone. It was of Feng Ruixing, whose face was bruised, blood was oozing from the corners of his mouth, and he was being held captive!
"What on earth do you want to do?" Su Qingxin asked sternly.
Zhang Chao spread his hands and said, "It's nothing. If you are not his sister, then I have no choice but to deal with him first. Then come to the parking lot to collect his body." After that, Zhang Chao left.
"Qingxin, what's wrong?" Chi Yuecheng asked, not knowing what Zhang Chao showed Su Qingxin.
Su Qingxin was very conflicted. She didn't want to care about Feng Ruixing's affairs at all. She couldn't rest easy when she thought about how he had deceived her when she was a child. But when she saw the photo just now and remembered how Feng Ruixing had helped Shu Fan, Su Qingxin felt even more uneasy.
She bit her lower lip and quickly caught up with Zhang Chao.
Chi Yuecheng and Wei Ran were worried, so they followed him, and Zhu Panpan and Qin Ruxi followed soon after.
The underground parking lot was a little dim. When Su Qingxin and others went down, there was no one in sight except for the neatly parked cars.
Suddenly, a person was kicked out from between the vehicles in front. The person was stepped on the ground by the people behind him and shouted to Su Qingxin: "Sister Su, save me——"
