Before getting off work, Li Xiaoyue stretched out and said, "Oh, I finally finished the hyaluronic acid mask project every day. I shouldn't have to work overtime now, right?"
"It's not good to have to work overtime. This month's salary has reached a new high. I have to plan carefully how to spend it." A colleague on the side said happily.
"Don't tell me, our company's remuneration is really good. With the small amount of business before, I was worried that the company would go bankrupt. I didn't expect that the boss would turn around and take on a big job. It's like half a year of not being open, and half a year of being open."
While everyone was discussing, the arrival of a figure instantly restored tranquility to the entire office area.
"Mr. Qin."
"Good afternoon, Mr. Qin."
Qin Hao nodded to everyone, and then called the company's management to the conference room, and the office area became active again.
"The boss is convening a meeting with the management at this time. Isn't it because he has received another big job and needs to work overtime?"
"I don't care if I work overtime as long as I'm paid overtime. Anyway, it's okay to go back alone."
Li Xiaoyue frowned. She really didn't want to work overtime, and it wouldn't do to pay her too much. Twenty thousand a month was enough for her, but time would never go back.
In Li Xiaoyue's view, life is short and you should enjoy yourself in the moment, otherwise it will be meaningless no matter how much money you make.
Just when Li Xiaoyue was depressed, her phone suddenly received a message from Qin Hao.
"Do you have time tonight?"
"That depends on whether you have to work overtime, boss!!!"
Seeing Li Xiaoyue add three exclamation points after the boss, Qin Hao couldn't help but feel happy. This girl really has no tolerance for overtime work.
"If you don't add it, you think that the money you make every day is brought by the strong wind. Now that you are well-known, you just need to maintain a certain degree of popularity in the future. Who can withstand such a waste of money?"
Li Xiaoyue immediately sent a flattering smiley emoticon.
When the off-duty time arrives, there is almost no one in the office area. Both employees and management have become accustomed to this rhythm.
Qin Hao walked to Li Xiaoyue's workstation: "Have you thought of somewhere to have a good massage?"
"That depends on whether it's your treat or AA." Li Xiaoyue smiled, her eyes slightly curved, like a kitten that stole a fish.
"I'm treating you to a treat. Look at what you're doing. You're not willing to work overtime just yet."
Faced with Qin Hao's complaints, Li Xiaoyue retorted: "Working overtime seriously affects my ability to find joy in life. If I get depressed one day, the little money I earn from working overtime is not enough to treat my mental illness."
"Other people in this world may be depressed, but you, Li Xiaoyue, will never be depressed."
"Hey, the one who knows me is Lao Qin."
After getting to know each other, Li Xiaoyue no longer kept her mouth shut like before. The reason why she called her "Old Qin" was because, according to her, Qin Hao smelled like a mature old man, so "Old Qin" became Li Xiaoyue.
The "nickname" for Qin Hao in private.
The weather in Beijing was already very cold in December. Li Xiaoyue took Qin Hao to a residential area in a small alley. Who would have thought that there was a copper pot shabu-shabu restaurant hidden here.
"You can find such a secret place, Li Xiaoyue, you are so good at eating." After Qin Hao sat down, he gave a thumbs up.
Li Xiaoyue raised her chin proudly: "Only good food can't be disappointed. This is the experience gained from our eating, drinking and having fun. Tens of thousands of friends have spent time and money on countless pitfalls. I wouldn't bring ordinary people here."
"So, I'm not an ordinary person?"
"You are not just annoying." Li Xiaoyue heard the underlying meaning of Qin Hao's words and rolled her eyes at him.
Soon, plates of freshly cut meat were brought to the table. Li Xiaoyue and Qin Hao were very similar in this regard, both of them had a passion for meat.
While eating steaming pork in a copper pot, Li Xiaoyue suddenly said something.
"By the way, there is a Hanfu exhibition this weekend. Do you have time?"
Qin Hao looked at Li Xiaoyue's slightly red cheeks and couldn't help laughing.
"Why are you laughing? I don't want to pull you down."
"Go, must go."
Li Xiaoyue gave Qin Hao an angry look.
After dinner, Qin Hao went to the night market with Li Xiaoyue. It was not until nine o'clock in the evening that Li Xiaoyue suggested that they go home.
"I'll see you off, it's so late."
Li Xiaoyue put her hands in her pockets and stamped her feet: "Come on, you didn't buy a car. You'll drop me off in a while. The subway is out of service."
"Then let's take a taxi back. Are you afraid that I can't afford the taxi fare?"
"What a waste. With this money, you might as well treat me to a meal later."
"It's not safe for you as a girl at night."
"But why do I think you are more dangerous?"
Li Xiaoyue finished speaking with a smile and ran into the subway entrance in a flash.
…
On weekends, the eating, drinking and entertainment group was particularly lively early in the morning, and the reason was simple. Li Xiaoyue suddenly announced that today's Hanfu exhibition would be held, and she even made an appointment with someone.
"A person? Who is he?"
"Man or woman?"
"Nonsense, if it were a girl, she would definitely just say beauty."
"Oh, he turns out to be a man. Is he handsome? Do you have a girlfriend?"
Li Xiaoyue posted an eye-rolling emoticon in the group.
"Can everyone be more reserved? Be careful not to scare people away."
"Oh~~~ I haven't even seen this person yet, so I protected him. It seems like there's something going on."
Just as Li Xiaoyue was joking with her girlfriends, a new BMW 5 Series parked in front of her.
Today, Li Xiaoyue wore light makeup, with curled eyelashes and light brown eye shadow. Her lip color was light pink, which made her look fresh and sweet. Her black hair was gently tied up with a delicate hairband, and her slender figure was
She was wrapped in an orange coat, which obviously didn't match her makeup today.
"You've been waiting for a long time, come up."
"When did you buy the car?"
"yesterday."
"...It's not because of what I said that night, right?" Li Xiaoyue stuck out her tongue in embarrassment.
Qin Hao smiled: "Half and half, I didn't buy a car before because the subway is convenient enough. Now I often go to customers. It's always inconvenient not to have a car."
"Then where did you get your license plate?"
"The client's company happened to have a license plate indicator, so they gave me one."
"Is there such a good thing?"
"The marketing effect this time is so good and it has helped customers make so much money. A license plate indicator is nothing."
"That's right, the hyaluronic acid masks sold out this time are crazy. My roommate watched the live broadcast and tried to grab them several times but couldn't get any."
"This is also due to your marketing planning."
Li Xiaoyue rolled her eyes: "Please ask the leaders to implement the praise in a practical way. It is best to express it in the form of bonuses."
"Money obsessed." Qin Hao scolded with a smile.
The two of them chatted and laughed along the way, and soon arrived at the convention and exhibition center.
This Hanfu exhibition was quite large. In the parking lot, I saw many young men and women wearing Hanfu walking towards the convention and exhibition center.
When Li Xiaoyue got out of the car, she took off her coat, and Qin Hao discovered that she was wearing a high-waisted skirt underneath.
"How's it going? Is it okay?"
Li Xiaoyue spun around in a circle, and the hem of her skirt bloomed like a flower, adding a touch of elegance to her pretty face.
"With you acting like this, I feel a bit out of place walking next to you."
"Come on, there are many beautiful Hanfu in the exhibition."
At the entrance of the convention and exhibition center, Li Xiaoyue briefly introduced some of her best friends to Qin Hao.
"Oh, it turns out you are Xiaoyue's boss."
Qin Hao smiled: "Just call me Lao Qin."
"Oh, it turns out it's already become so intimate."
Faced with the booing from her girlfriends, Li Xiaoyue blushed and said nothing, but did not deny it.
While Qin Hao was checking the tickets, several girlfriends wisely walked away, allowing Li Xiaoyue and Qin Hao to go alone.
"Wow, these sets of Hanfu are so beautiful."
Li Xiaoyue's footsteps were stopped in front of a platform. Qin Hao originally thought that she was interested in those sets of women's Hanfu. However, Li Xiaoyue pushed Qin Hao to the fitting room.
When Qin Hao came out again, he had already changed into a plain white wide-sleeved robe, with a wide-brimmed green auspicious cloud belt tied around his waist. From a distance, he looked like an ancient nobleman walking out of a painting. The only flaw was his hair.
Not long enough to tie my hair.
"Miss, your boyfriend looks so handsome in this Hanfu."
Li Xiaoyue's pretty face was slightly red, but she did not explain the relationship between her and Qin Hao to the merchant. Her attention was focused on Qin Hao.
"If you keep touching it like this, I may not be able to handle it." Qin Hao teased.
Li Xiaoyue spat: "Rogue."
"It's obviously you who is playing tricks on me."
"Huh, I'm just appreciating it."
"Then do you enjoy it?"
"It's still a little bit worse, why don't you grow your hair long in the future."
Qin Hao rolled his eyes: "You might as well let me wear this to meet clients."
"It's not impossible. You can leave a deep impression on your customers at the first sight." Li Xiaoyue smiled like a flower.
"That's certainly not a good impression."
After directly buying this set of Hanfu, Qin Hao and Li Xiaoyue continued to visit the exhibition. As a result, they became like NPCs along the way. Many tourists came to take photos with them.
"Should we get a sign next time and write "Twenty for photo taking?"
Li Xiaoyue's eyes lit up: "This is a good idea."
"Money addict, he is so active when it comes to making money, but he is so resistant to working overtime." Qin Hao scolded with a smile.
"That's different. Hanfu is a hobby. Isn't it a very happy thing to be able to make money with your hobby? When you go to work, it's enough to make ends meet."
"Crooked reasoning."
"Hey, it doesn't matter whether it's wrong or right, as long as it makes sense."
With that said, Li Xiaoyue pulled Qin Hao into a Hanfu booth. Throughout the day, Qin Hao was pulled by Li Xiaoyue and changed into five or six sets of Hanfu.
Finally, at 6:30 in the afternoon, Li Xiaoyue could no longer walk around anymore.
After dinner, Qin Hao drove Li Xiaoyue home.
Perhaps she was too tired along the way, so Li Xiaoyue fell asleep leaning against the passenger seat.
When he arrived at the community where Li Xiaoyue rented, Qin Hao stopped the car on purpose.
After half an hour, Li Xiaoyue faintly woke up.
"We're here, why don't you wake me up."
"Seeing that you are sleeping so soundly, I don't have the heart to disturb you."
Li Xiaoyue unbuckled her seat belt and was about to open the door, but was stopped by Qin Hao.
"Just leave like that?"
"Ah, what else?"
Li Xiaoyue covered her mouth and smiled softly, the corners of her eyes raised slightly, feeling indescribably proud.
However, the next second, the corners of Li Xiaoyue's raised eyes suddenly widened, and a delicate touch came from her lips, which stunned her.
After a long time, Li Xiaoyue gasped and pushed Qin Hao away.
"you……"
Qin Hao leaned into Li Xiaoyue's ear and whispered: "You said you hadn't thought about it before, but you should be ready now, right?"
"No." Li Xiaoyue wrinkled her nose and snorted softly.
Qin Hao said with a bad smile: "Oh, really? Then why didn't you push me away earlier?"
Li Xiaoyue was speechless for a moment.
"Hmph, anyway, this is a sneak attack, so it doesn't count."
"Yeah?"
As soon as Qin Hao finished speaking, he kissed Li Xiaoyue's slightly cold lips.
The delicate touch made Li Xiaoyue moan unconsciously, her eyes gradually blurred, and Qin Hao's movements were not limited to his lips and tongue.
"No, it's not okay yet."
Li Xiaoyue struggled to hold Qin Hao's hand one second before she lost her mind.
"I'm sorry, I couldn't help myself." Qin Hao saw a faint glint in Li Xiaoyue's eyes and had to take back his hands.
Li Xiaoyue wrinkled her nose, snorted softly, and spat: "Rogue."
After saying that, he buttoned up his coat again, opened the door and got out of the car.
Just as Qin Hao was about to follow, Li Xiaoyue suddenly leaned over the car window: "Are you still free tomorrow? Let's do pottery together."
"Okay, then I'll pick you up tomorrow morning."
"I'll be there after ten o'clock. It's too early for me to get up." Li Xiaoyue herself didn't realize how much coquettishness her words meant.
On Sunday, Li Xiaoyue spent a whole day in the pottery museum, and finally baked something. It was so mysterious that Qin Hao was not allowed to participate. It was not until the end that Qin Hao took her out when he sent her home.
He handed the gift box to Qin Hao and ran upstairs in a hurry.
Qin Hao opened the gift box and found that it was a cup.
As for the workmanship, it can only be regarded as passable, but Qin Hao immediately took a photo of the cup and sent it to Li Xiaoyue.
"Thank you for your gift, I like it very much."
"As long as you like it. It's too late. I have to go to work tomorrow. I'm going to bed. You should go back and rest early."
After Li Xiaoyue replied, she got into bed without even taking off her clothes. Her cheeks were as hot as if she had a fever, and her heart was beating rapidly.
On the other side, as soon as Qin Hao returned to the rented house, he found that Qin Lingling had been waiting at the door for a long time.
"Haozi, what's going on with you these past two days? You haven't answered your phone calls or responded to your WeChat messages. I almost thought something had happened to you."
Qin Lingling complained.
"This isn't the weekend. Give yourself two days off. What happened? Why are you so angry?" Qin Hao opened the door and put the cups in the wine cabinet.
Qin Lingling looked at the tea cup that was incompatible with the wine cabinet suspiciously, and suddenly realized: "Which girl gave this cup to you, right?"
"When will I bring it back to show my sister?"
Qin Hao was speechless for a moment: "Sister, weren't you still in a hurry just now? Are you no longer in a hurry now?"
"No matter how urgent it is, it's not as urgent as your life-long matter. What's the girl's name? Do you have a photo? What does your family do?"
Qin Hao quickly stopped: "Stop, sister, this is just the beginning, don't scare people away again."
"Okay, I've started to think about others. It seems I'm serious this time."
Seeing Qin Hao's firm attitude, Qin Lingling didn't waste any more time and changed the subject.
"Just now Na Wei reported to me that there are many hyaluronic acid masks on the market. What should we do now?"
