Chapter 75

Qi Zhao waited until it was almost time to get off work before going downstairs to get the express package.

After tearing open the outer carton, the coffee beans inside are beautifully packaged.

Although Qi Zhao didn't know much about coffee, he could smell the aroma of beans.

She threw the outer carton into the trash can next to the elevator. She thought for a moment while waiting for the elevator, then raised her hand and said to Ye Zhiyuan: [Ye Zhu, is Mr. Gu here? 】

Ye Zhiyuan replied after only a few seconds.

[Ye Zhiyuan: Mr. Gu and Mr. Shao are currently holding a board meeting. ]

[Ye Zhiyuan: Is there anything you need to convey to Manager Qi? ]

Qi Zhao raised his hand and replied: [Nothing, I just heard that Mr. Gu likes to drink coffee. My friend has some coffee beans at his house, so he thought of bringing them over to Mr. Gu to try. 】

The system saw the content sent by Qi Zhao and asked her in confusion: 【Why is it at a friend's house? Didn’t you ask about the origin of this coffee bean from that coffee shop? ]

Qi Zhao answered the system in an ordinary tone: "Because saying this can weaken my purpose and pleasing nature. Coffee beans obtained from friends' houses will sound more thoughtful and intimate than coffee beans specially found by oneself."

The system said . Can't understand.

The system is completely broken.

The voices in my head quieted down, and the notification sound of receiving messages on my phone became clearer.

[Ye Zhiyuan: Can I send you another message after Mr. Gu has finished the meeting? 】

The numbers scrolling on the elevator screen gradually approached "1", Qi Zhao speeded up his typing speed: "No, Ye Zhu, are you on the top floor?" If it's there, I'll send it to you directly so I won't bother Mr. Gu. ]

This time Ye Zhiyuan's reply took a long time. It was not until Qi Zhao walked into the elevator and the elevator door closed that her phone vibrated.

[Ye Zhiyuan: I'm here. Manager Qi can come directly if it's convenient. ]

Qi Zhao pressed the button on the top floor after seeing this message from Shao Yixia.

When the elevator door opened again, the top floor was surprisingly quiet.

Hearing the sound of the elevator opening the door not far away, Ye Zhiyuan smiled at Qi Zhao who came out: "Manager Qi."

Qi Zhao also raised a smile, put the package in his hand on a nearby table and spoke first. He greeted in a homely manner: "My friend said before that their coffee beans taste good, so I wanted to let Mr. Gu try it too."

Ye Zhiyuan glanced at the coffee beans Qi Zhao brought over and was very impressed . The discerning reply said: "Manager Qi, thank you for your trouble. I will definitely try the coffee beans you brought when I make coffee for Mr. Gu later."

Seeing that Ye Zhiyuan understood what he meant, Qi Zhao came this time The purpose has been achieved.

She didn't stay too long. Before leaving, she nodded and said to Ye Zhiyuan with a smile: "Sorry to trouble you, Ye Zhu. Then I won't disturb you."

When Qi Zhao returned to the film and television department again, most of the employees had already left.

She glanced at her phone and saw that the top few chat boxes, except for Ye Zhiyuan's, contained Zhou Dan's messages.

What Zhou Danhui reported to her was some routine work in documentary shooting. Qi Zhao clicked into his chat interface and glanced at the time at the top of his phone.

Ji Yue's photo will be released on a regular basis, and the press releases contacted by the Propaganda Department should also be ready for exposure.

Qi Zhao thought for a few seconds, and instead of rushing to get off work, he returned to his office and logged in to the official account of Linchuan Film and Television Department on his computer.

The photo had been posted a few seconds ago, and there were only two words in the copy: The official account of

#九月

影视部 has become very large after its initial stage, and it also caused a lot of enthusiasm during the period when the documentary was released. Discussion, this photo received a lot of comments as soon as it was posted.

The first thing to flood into the comment area was a long paragraph of comment that seemed to have been thought out early in the morning and then directly pasted.

Qi Zhao glanced at it and found that in the long string of text with expressions and pictures, there were several somewhat out of place comments.

【Jiyue? Is this a newly signed actor from the film and television department? What are those documentaries mentioned in the comment section? ]

[Damn, I was only familiar with the name Ji Yue before, and no one told me that he looked so good-looking! ] [

Who is Ji Yue? Are there any popular science posts? 】

With the passage of time and the exposure of this post, the number of long-form posters in the comment area gradually decreased, and the number of comments discussing Ji Yue and his face gradually increased.

Qi Zhao smiled knowingly when he saw the comments that increased exponentially as soon as they were refreshed.

Sure enough, beauty is the primary productive force.

Qi Zhao saw the comments that developed as expected, and began to think about the process after the documentary was completed.

According to the news sent by Zhou Danhui, the documentary should be filmed in another two or three days, and the later editing and distribution should not be too laborious if it is backed by Linchuan.

After Qi Zhao estimated a rough time in his mind, he logged out of his account and shut down his computer.

Things are developing in the direction he expected. Qi Zhao's heart is light and his mood is not gloomy.

On her way home, she stopped at a fresh food store and prepared to cook a big meal for herself.

After putting the large bag of ingredients in the trunk, Qi Zhao raised his hand and sent Ji Yue a message: [I'm going to cook a big meal tonight, do you want to come? 】

He is the hero of the Film and Television Department's turnaround in word of mouth today, so he must be given a good treat.

But the hero Ji Yue seemed to be training and did not reply immediately.

Qi Zhao only received two messages from him when he returned home.

[Ji Yue: Yes! ]

[Ji Yue: I want to have a big meal too! ]

Qi Zhao smiled when he saw those two messages and replied: [Okay, okay. ]

Qi Zhao was going to make Western food today. She didn't know how cooked steak Ji Yue liked to eat, so she prepared all the ingredients and prepared to fry them when he came back.

Clam soup was simmering over low heat. Qi Zhao, who was planning to make pasta, took a look at the time and prepared to ask Ji Yue when she would be back.

She walked from the kitchen to the living room, unlocked the phone that she had never brought with her, and found that Gu Ci had sent her several messages at some point.

Qi Zhao clicked into the chat interface with him, and the content in it was indeed asking about coffee beans.

[Gu Ci: I received the coffee beans you sent. ]

[Gu Ci: It smells very good, thank you. 】

These two messages seem unremarkable when connected, but the time between the messages reveals the heart of the sender.

It was obviously just an ordinary message of thanks, but it took more than half an hour for Gu Ci to send the second sentence.

Qi Zhao took advantage of the situation and sat down on the sofa, unable to hide the smile on his face.

Gu Ci, Gu Ci, you are so understanding.

Qi Zhao raised his hand and replied, deliberately maintaining a distance: "As long as you like it." ]

Gu Ci sent a message after a few seconds.

[Gu Ci: I heard Ye Zhiyuan say that you got these coffee beans from your friend? 】

As if he felt that what he blurted out was a bit out of proportion, Gu Ci added another sentence.

[Gu Ci: Can you thank your friend for me? 】

It’s just that Gu Ci still has little experience in facing this kind of situation, so the sentence he sent has a feeling that there is no silver in this place.

Qi Zhao could tell from the two sentences on the screen that Gu Ci might not even know that he was already a little out of control.

Qi Zhao took his eyes away from the phone screen and thought in his mind.

...Gu Ci should have feelings for me now, but he hasn't realized it yet.

Qi Zhao thought of the system's favorability test criteria again and frowned.

But if he didn't realize that the system couldn't detect it, she couldn't just rely on Gu Ci's jealousy to increase her favorability.

That's too slow growth.

Qi Zhao looked back at the chat interface with Gu Ci and decided to give him a push.

Qi Zhao's reply this time was more official: [Mr. Gu, you're too polite, it's just some coffee beans, you don't need to be so worried. ]

[Zhaojiu Wanwu: I just want to thank you. I've been bothered a lot these days by the film and television department, so I'm really sorry for your trouble. ]

Gu Ci frowned when he saw the message from Qi Zhaoxin, always feeling that something was wrong.

There is nothing wrong with the words she sent. On the contrary, these two paragraphs are the messages she receives most often in her daily life.

But Gu Ci always felt that these words were a little strange coming from Qi Zhao's mouth.

He swiped up and looked at the content of his previous chat with Qi Zhao.

The mark between his eyebrows became deeper and deeper. Gu Ci turned to the two latest messages and finally understood what the problem was.

Qi Zhao's two words were too polite.

Like, deliberately keeping a distance from yourself.

After realizing this, Gu Ci became more and more confused and even began to review everything that happened after he met Qi Zhao today.

Gu Ci is not as sensitive to emotional changes as others. He couldn't detect anything wrong, but he knew clearly that the tone of Qi Zhao's reply was definitely wrong.

The more I thought about it, the more confused I became, and the thoughts in my mind gradually became a tangle of threads.

Gu Cixin felt inexplicably bored, and Xiaoxiao, who was already asleep on the side, began to snore.

Gu Ci really couldn't figure out the answer to the question, so he asked her.

[Gu Ci: Are you angry? ]

When Qi Zhao saw this message from Gu Ci, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart that he is indeed a malleable person.

But just noticing her emotional changes wasn't enough.

What Qi Zhao wanted was that Gu Ci could detect his emotional changes.

Qi Zhao raised his hand and sent another sentence: "No, why does Mr. Gu think I'm angry?" 】

After hesitating the first sentence, he said the next words much more smoothly and naturally.

Gu Ci's reply was quick and straightforward.

[Gu Ci: Because the tone of your words doesn’t seem right. ]

Qi Zhao did not mince words: [This is always the case when I talk to my colleagues and employees in the company. Mr. Gu thinks something is wrong? ]

[Zhaojiu Wanwu: Am I not polite enough, or does Mr. Gu think that our relationship is not just a superior-subordinate relationship? ]

Gu Ci could deny the first half of Qi Zhao's sentence without hesitation, but the second half of her sentence put Gu Ci in a dilemma.

This sentence should be true, but Gu Ci could not describe the relationship between the two as "superior and subordinate".

Gu Ci knew that he and Ye Zhiyuan were superiors and subordinates, and he also knew that he and the ministers of other departments were superiors and subordinates.

But I seem to be different from her.

My relationship with her seems to be different from others.

My heart and reaction to her seem to be different from others.

As more and more samples and facts were analyzed, Gu Ci could clearly understand the difference between facing Qi Zhao and facing other people, but he didn't know what the name of that difference was.

Clarity and chaos intertwined, Gu Ci's mind was blank and confused.
