She wanted to get up and leave suddenly without any reason, which was obviously not something she could do.
They come, the security.
So I would just take this opportunity to continue asking Qi Diaozhe why he has not contacted her for more than ten years.
She suppressed her overflowing happy smile.
Naturally, she picked up the juice prepared for her and took a sip.
While putting down the cup, he said seriously:
"I heard from Vice President XX that the group is holding a mid-level and high-level gathering here tonight. Where are the others? Why didn't you even see Vice President XX who notified me?"
"Yes, that's right! Isn't the me you see the middle and senior management of the group?"
Qi Diaozhe found a job at the top of the group by virtue of his status as a jade carving master.
It's the kind of idle job where you don't have to pay a salary from the group and you have legitimate reasons to get close to Zhang Ling.
"You!" Her eyes were full of surprise, and then she sneered, "Can you represent all the middle and high-level people in the group?"
"Uh, how should I put it?" Qi Diaozhe lowered his head slightly and put one hand on the dining table to spin the red wine glass. "Actually, there are two locations for mid-level and high-level gatherings held by the group. We are the only ones here."
Zhang Ling's smile was full of anger and she said:
"Okay, where is the other place? I'll leave right away. I really don't want to stay where you are for a second."
Qi Diaozhe said with great performative surprise:
"Oh my god, didn't anyone tell you? It seems that the rumor in the group that Vice President Zhang was targeted by other senior executives is actually true!"
"you……"
Zhang Ling had a strong sense of ridicule when she heard this, but her inner stubbornness would not allow her to be ridiculed by Qi Diaozhe.
So he forced himself to put on a professional smile and retorted:
"Where did you hear that? It's nothing. I just got a condition called conditioned amnesia because of someone's appearance."
"You are sick!" Qi Diaozhe seemed to stand up very nervously, but then asked with a puzzled look, "Well, you have never heard of amnesia! What kind of disease is it? Is it serious? Do you want me to ask a friend to help?
Find an expert."
Zhang Ling said seriously:
"It's not serious to say it's serious, but it's very serious when you think about it. This disease doesn't require an expert, the cure is actually very simple."
Qi Diaozhe was a little dizzy after being fooled by Zhang Ling and asked:
"This... what kind of disease is this? How to cure it? If you can speak to me in any way, I will do my best."
That's what he said, but in his heart he was already preparing for the worst.
That's what Zhang Ling said. If there is no solution to the condition, then she will decisively choose to disappear.
Zhang Ling said to him with a slight smile:
"This is my disease! To put it simply, as long as someone can completely disappear from my eyes, this disease will heal itself without treatment."
Qi Diaozhe could hear the flavor in her words, but he still pretended to be confused and said with a smile:
"Interesting, this disease sounds quite interesting."
Now she feels uncomfortable whenever she sees his smile.
It clearly felt like he was gloating about his misfortune.
So she asked with an unhappy look:
"I'm sick, so I am amusing you?"
Qi Diaozhe stood up in a panic and waved his hands and explained:
"No, no, no, please don't misunderstand me. My interest is only for the disease you have."
"Is there any difference? I don't see it."
"Of course! I feel very sorry for you being tortured by the disease. If possible, I would be willing to endure the pain for you."
"cut!"
She looked at him with disdain and cursed.
Sure enough, Yan Yuan was right!
A man's mouth is deceiving.
Especially when you are pursuing a woman, the words you say sound particularly nice.
"Don't believe I'm sincere?" Qi Diaozhe picked up the knife in front of him and gestured, "If you don't believe me, you can use a knife to cut open my chest and have a look. The heart that loves you is absolutely hot and red."
"Come on." Zhang Ling waved her hands disdainfully.
"I……"
Qi Diaozhe wanted to explain, but Zhang Ling didn't give her a chance, so she interrupted and continued:
"You can describe other people's illnesses as funny. How can a person like you expect me to believe you sincerely? You really think I'm easy to deceive."
"Alas, it seems you have misunderstood me too deeply."
"Misunderstanding? I don't want to misunderstand either. I'll give you a chance to explain. If you don't tell me, what can I do?"
After hearing what she said, Qi Diaozhe was secretly happy!
I feel that Zhang Ling's love for him is hard to hide.
But he still had no intention of explaining to Zhang Ling.
Instead, he deliberately changed the subject of "explanation", looked at her with pretense of worry and said:
"Let's talk about your illness."
Zhang Ling still didn't wait for the answer, her eyes were filled with boredom for him:
"My illness? There's nothing to say. How many days can I live? Wouldn't it be better if I could get rid of it?"
"No, no, Zhang Ling, please don't say that, okay? You know, I love you, that's why I made a special trip back to China for you."
When she heard Qi Diaozhe express his love again, her heart trembled like her first love.
It was as if she was taken back more than ten years ago.
But it was only for a moment.
"For me! Haha, should I be grateful and throw myself into your arms now to express my gratitude?"
Qi Diaozhe seemed to have not heard the irony at all, and smiled and waved his hand and said:
"No, no, you just need to explain your condition clearly. Even if I search for famous doctors in the world for you, I will definitely help you cure your disease."
Zhang Ling was indeed a little moved when she heard this.
If she hadn't waited in agony for more than ten years, she would definitely have thrown herself into his arms...
"Since you asked so sincerely, I will tell you with great mercy."
Zhang Ling's tone was obviously much gentler at this time.
Qi Diaozhe said with even greater joy:
"You say it, you say it, I'm listening."
"What's wrong with my disease? It's just like AIDS. It's nothing in terms of symptoms. The main danger is that there are dangerous complications."
"What complications?"
Qi Diaozhe looked obviously more worried than she was.
Of course, I worry more about myself.
I was worried that my plan to return to China would come to nothing due to this accident.
Zhang Ling actually misunderstood that this worry was for her.
So her tough heart towards him became much softer.
So her tone became gentler again and she said:
"If any complications arise and unexpected violence occurs, please be patient, Master Qi."
Her expression did not make Qi Diaozhe show any fear.
Instead, it made him laugh out loud on the spot.
He also kept saying that she has become much more humorous after not seeing her for so many years.
As a result, he opened up his chat box and began to talk freely, reminding her of more than ten years ago.
She said that at that time, she looked dull on the surface, but in fact she was even more cute.
I often chase him and ask stupid questions.
for example:
Because they were talking about a happy thing, they laughed happily.
And Zhang Ling would suddenly ask him curiously, why do you smile instead of frowning when you are happy?
When his answer to this question dissatisfied her, she frowned and asked another question.
Why do some people say that your IQ plummets when you face me?
…
Listening to Qi Diaozhe's thoughts, she suddenly felt like she was back in high school.
The head teacher advised the students to cherish the last piece of pure land of innocence in the first class.
When you step out of high school, no matter where you go or who you form friendships with, they are no longer pure.
Even your lover who will be with you for the rest of your life will be bound by interests.
Is high school the last pure land of innocence?
Zhang Ling, who has experienced high school life, disagrees.
Just because she listened to her head teacher and relaxed her vigilance towards Qi Diaozhe, she was deeply tortured by the scumbag for more than ten years.
Her mind was filled with bleak images of her looking forward to his return.
Thinking of this, Zhang Ling once again couldn't suppress the anger in her heart. She stood up suddenly, leaned over and smashed the long table in front of her with both hands and shouted:
"enough!"
Because of this sound, Qi Diaozhe's hand holding the red wine glass trembled violently, causing the red wine to spill on his thighs.
But he didn't care about this and looked at Zhang Ling who was full of anger with a surprised look on his face.
It was obvious that she had a happy smile on her face before.
How could it turn into anger in a blink of an eye?
He swallowed the remaining wine in his mouth and asked with uneasiness:
"What's wrong? Zhang Ling, you..."
Zhang Ling had no intention of letting him speak and yelled again:
"That's enough, stop talking. I don't want to hear another word you say."
Qi Diaozhe looked at Zhang Ling's angry look and finally shut up obediently.
She continued to say to him:
"You went to great lengths to trick me here. Do you just want to recall for me what you think is a wonderful high school life?"
She endured her anger and wanted to hear how Qi Diaozhe could give a satisfactory explanation for her disappearance for more than ten years.
Qi Diaozhe, on the other hand, didn't care about her focus at all.
The saying that there is no speculation is more than half a sentence.
She didn't have any extra time to waste with this scumbag.
What Zhang Ling didn't expect the most was that Qi Diaozhe calmly nodded and admitted to her question.
"Bah!" Zhang Ling said directly to Qi Diaozhe without avoiding it.
Such an inelegant move did not shock or disgust Qi Diaozhe.
Instead, he laughed heartily, and then said teasingly to her:
"I'm back, I'm back, the Zhang Ling I knew before is finally back."
Zhang Ling was slightly confused by these words.
Qi Diaozhe took the opportunity to continue:
"I thought you had been around that silly boy Li Xiang for too long. Your unique frankness and liveliness had been completely worn away. Haha, fortunately, my Zhang Ling is finally back."
"Your Zhang Ling? I say Master Qi, please be careful with your words. When did I become yours?"
Faced with Zhang Ling's question, Qi Diaozhe acted as if he hadn't heard anything and continued to perform his best, as if the wine glass stood up and said:
"Come, come, let us drink this cup to celebrate your return!"
After speaking, Qi Diaozhe didn't cooperate at all even when he saw Zhang Ling.
He still drank the red wine in the glass with joy on his face and said:
"happy!"
He suddenly drank the red wine and lost the momentum of the white wine.
Zhang Ling finally understood.
Qi Diaozhe wanted to use this method to deliberately avoid the questions she wanted to know.
Then she felt that there was no point in staying here.
"baffling!"
She viciously threw four words at Qi Diaozhe and turned around towards the door.
There was no sign of panic on Qi Diaozhe's face, and he sat back down calmly again.
He then took out the napkin, lowered his head to wipe the wine stains on his pants, and then said a little casually:
"Vice President Zhang, you attended the company party and rushed to leave before the leader left. Is this really okay? I'm worried that after you go to work tomorrow, you may be called in by the general manager for a talk again."
That’s right!
Although Qi Diaozhe has a sinecure status in the group, he is indeed Zhang Ling's superior.
She never expected that he would use this status to exert pressure.
So he could only stop helplessly, suddenly looked back at the strange first love in front of him and asked:
"I said Qi Diaozhe, what exactly do you want to do?"
Her current situation in the group is very delicate.
Although those who were against her in the beginning have become much more at ease recently.
But if we can find the real clue from Qi Diaozhe.
There is no guarantee that those who targeted her will not come back again.
He put on a smile again and looked at Zhang Ling, motioning to the food on the table in front of him and said:
"Don't be angry. You know me. What bad thoughts can I have towards you?"
Zhang Ling shook her head after listening to Qi Diaozhe's words, and showed a meaningful smile helplessly.
But Qi Diaozhe continued to say as if he didn't care about her attitude at all:
"It's very simple! I just want you to stay and finish this dinner with me. This shouldn't be too much to ask for."
"Not too much?" Zhang Ling said sharply.
She had endured more than ten years of waiting, wanted to say nothing, and wanted to smooth it over with just one meal.
Do you really think she is a young girl who doesn’t understand the world and is easy to deceive?
no way!
Qi Diaozhe didn't care at all about the anger expressed in these three words Zhang Ling.
The kind of anger that pushed Qi Diaozhe to the ground and rubbed him randomly!
He deliberately treated the three words Zhang Ling as a normal declarative sentence.
Smiling expectantly, he motioned to her previous seat and said:
"Since it's not too much, please sit down and let's continue eating."
"you……"
Zhang Ling was at a loss for how to deal with Qi Diaozhe.
Looking at the empty seats, I hesitated for a while, and finally moved to sit down again.
Qi Diaozhe continued to happily introduce the delicacies in front of him, saying that they were all made according to Zhang Ling's previous instructions to the chef.
As she spoke, she motioned to the waiter to place a plate of fish in front of her.
And he was like a chef, explaining this fish dish to her.
Said that this dish was her favorite West Lake vinegar fish.
Specially choose herrings that are no more than twenty centimeters long and no more than half a catty in weight.
After slaughtering and cleaning, cook it with water and put it in the pot, thicken the fish and pour the sauce over it before serving.
What I want to say in particular is that this soul soup is very particular.
Naturally, vinegar needs to be added, but not too much. Soy sauce can be added, but not too much.
The soup should be rich, but not thick, and don't add too much oil. It should be light, light, and slightly transparent.
It can be served with grated ginger, but not chopped green onion, and no sugar.
Only in this way can the original taste of freshly killed fish be maintained.
People are extremely hopeless sometimes.
She has been mentally trying desperately to resist the temptation of Qi Diaozhe's delicious food.
But the honesty of her body has caused her defense line against Qi Diaozhe to completely collapse.
It was just a small taste of what I meant to say.
Unexpectedly, she had eaten nearly half of the fish in the blink of an eye.
If Qi Diaozhe hadn't reminded her that there was another dish of cinnabar tofu that she loved.
It is specially cooked with Gaoyou salted eggs with bright red yolks.
She hasn't eaten authentic Gaoyou salted eggs in many years.
So she must try this cinnabar tofu.
Or the taste of delicious food makes your body and mind happy.
Qi Diaozhe took the opportunity to invite her to have lunch with him tomorrow.
She actually agreed casually.
She was so worried about how to avoid this dinner party?
Qi Diaozhe said to her again with a smile:
"Zhang Ling, I have some good news for you."
She pretended to be indifferent and said:
"Just say what you want to say, don't beat around the bush."
"Did you hear that a gas explosion occurred in our Wuchuan yesterday?"
"I heard that a child died on the spot. Oh, it's such a pity for that child."
"So you know."
"I know. I don't understand. Why are you asking me why I know this?"
"So you don't know!"
"Hey, stop playing riddles, okay?"
Qi Diaozhe said with a sinister smile:
"Do you remember that I gave a boy a folding fan at the last party? It was the boy who had the accident."
