Qin Qing's second phase of the project was about to be launched, and she had a meeting with Kuafu Technology to discuss funding issues, and she also met Song Zijue, who had disappeared for a while. Now he was wearing suits and ties, looking businesslike, as if all the farce had never happened. More than average.
"So, Professor Luo, is this the budget table for the second phase?"
Viscount Song held the budget sheet in his hand and looked at the fat tutor with a smile, as if he had caught a student cheating on an exam. The budget was much larger than he imagined. Although he did not understand scientific research, he had invested in similar projects more than once. Accounts are too simple for him.
Qin Qing was ashamed, what happened to the teacher? This has never happened before. It is really embarrassing to be caught!
"Director Song, that's it." The fat instructor was very calm.
Viscount Song crossed his fingers and placed them on his chin, smiling lightly: "As far as I know, this project has been subsidized a lot by the state. At least many of the projects in this list are funded by the state finance. Luo Professor, please don’t forget what I do.”
It's not that Viscount Song is unwilling to pay the money, it's not too much for him, but such a corrupt behavior is too blatant. Besides, is it really okay for Qin Qing to work under such a mentor?
Is Xiang Chubei an idiot?! Since he wants to protect all aspects of her, why not be a little more comprehensive?!
The fat tutor kicked Qin Qing's calf under the table and gestured with his eyes to help her speak. The fat tutor was very sure that Qin Qing would definitely help him due to years of kindness, and Viscount Song would definitely not reject Qin Qing's request.
Qin Qing coughed awkwardly, what on earth was she going to do?!
"I will consider this report. Let's do this for today." Seeing Qin Qing's dilemma, Song Viscount ended the meeting hastily.
"Well, see you next time." Qin Qing quickly stood up and ran away.
"Xiao Qing, let's talk." Song Zijue stopped her with a serious expression.
The fat instructor snickered to himself and winked at Qin Qing, meaning he wanted her to say nice things. Qin Qing couldn't refute Song Viscount's face in front of everyone, so she stayed.
After the conference room was cleared, Viscount Song took out a cigarette, put it to his lips, and did not light it for a long time. Qin Qing looked at the slightly lonely Viscount Song, and suddenly felt that he was very pitiful.
"Xiaoqing, this project is over, what are your plans?"
"I don't know." Qin Qing thought, just treat them as ordinary friends.
Viscount Song walked up to her, opened a chair and sat down: "Last time, I'm sorry, I was impatient."
Viscount Song sighed: "In the final analysis, I am still not as good as Chu Bei. You should graduate with your doctorate early and don't follow Luo Tianliang. It will have a bad impact on your future reputation."
"Boss, he wasn't like this before."
"He was in Macau for half of last month." Song Viscount frowned. He wanted to build a clean world for Qin Qing.
Qin Qing was slightly surprised, pursed her lips, and didn't know what to say for a moment.
"Let's go and have dinner together." Song Viscount picked up the coat behind Qin Qing's chair and stood up.
Qin Qing suddenly raised her head and said in embarrassment: "Not so good."
"Xiaoqing, I have never abandoned you. There is a misunderstanding, although I can't explain it clearly yet..."
"Viscount, actually, it doesn't matter anymore. People can't be too greedy. I already have A Chu." Qin Qing took the coat from Viscount Song and turned around with a smile.
In fact, she still felt uncomfortable in her heart. It was not easy to let go of some people and things, and she had waited for so many years. Viscount Song, I blame you for coming back late, and I blame you for being too confident.
Song Viscount held Qin Qing and did not force her to turn around and look at him. He just looked at her back and looked at her slightly trembling shoulders with distress.
"But this is very important to me!" Viscount Song gritted his teeth and asked softly: "Xiaoqing, tell me, what happened back then?"
Qin Qing gently waved his hand away and whispered: "Viscount Song, we can't afford to lose too much. Enough is enough. I will still treat you as a friend."
How could Qin Qing not know? From the moment Viscount Song said that he had never abandoned her, she had guessed what was going on.
She has always admired Song Zijue's beautiful pen calligraphy, because like Xiang Chubei, she is an impatient person and has hated practicing calligraphy since she was a child.
That year, when he was young, he wrote little poems to her one by one. Regardless of the literary style or handwriting, she almost went crazy in love with them.
"Viscount, your handwriting is so beautiful, as beautiful as you!"
They held hands and walked along the tree-lined paths of the campus. That was the first time she agreed to a date with him.
"Qin Qing, I'm a man!" He pretended to be angry, feeling proud that she liked everything about him.
"oh?"
"You said your boyfriend is beautiful, is that true?"
"Ah?" Qin Qing woke up and laughed: "Viscount Song, your behavior of being angry about this is very girly, haha!"
She ran, and he chased her. Later, he hugged her and sat on the grass, smiling and saying, "My mother is a calligraphy teacher. She taught me how to write. By the way, my mother can even imitate Ouyang Xiu's handwriting."
"Really? Then your mother is really amazing. She must be very beautiful."
"You will always see us." Viscount Song said softly, describing their future in his mind.
Qin Qing changed from King Kong to Barbie and said shyly: "I don't know what you said."
Five years later, the breakup letter that made her regretful and decisive was written by Viscount Song's mother, who was born into a scholarly family.
Qin Qing walked to the street alone, and snow began to fall from the sky, falling one by one on her head, shoulders, and coat.
Perhaps, what she cared about was not the end of this relationship, but that she was unwilling to be abandoned by a person who had told the truth forever. Maybe what she hated over the years was not Viscount Song, but that she had lost her support and could not find anyone.
life goals.
She and Viscount Song had always aimed to live together, so after losing Viscount Song, she would continue studying because it turned out that she had already forgotten to plan her own life. What she hated was probably this sadness!
‘Didi’
Qin Qing turned her head and looked at a black Land Rover on the side of the road. She smiled at Chu Bei and opened the passenger door for her.
"It's so cold." Qin Qing sat in and complained.
Xiang Chubei raised the temperature in the car a lot, then took off the coat that carried his own temperature, and replaced Qin Qing's coat.
"Why are you still walking on the street when it snows?"
"Why are you here, on a mission?" Qin Qing noticed the military-brand car he drove.
"Task!"
"That……"
"It's a huge task to pick up my wife for dinner." Xiang Chubei took it seriously.
Qin Qing looked very funny and said with a smile: "Xiang Chubei, you have changed your gender. You have been saying such disgusting things recently. Isn't it disgusting?"
"I'll tell you tonight whether I've changed my gender or not." Xiang Chubei smiled mischievously.
