"Don't worry, I'll stay far away from you in the future, so you won't think about the terrible things that happened that night again? That will make you feel better, right?"
"As long as I disappear long enough, you will slowly forget the pain of the past. An'an, I'm sorry, I am no longer qualified to protect you." Li Xiaoran blamed herself in pain.
Qiao An returned to the office lonely. Before entering the office, she put away her sorrowful emotions, forced out a smile, and pushed the door open.
Colleagues cheered: "Editor-in-Chief Qiao, how much bonus did you receive? Where are you going to treat us to dinner tonight?"
Qiao An didn't know how much money was in her bank card, but she vaguely felt that she wouldn't be able to stay at Haiyue Group for long. She looked at these colleagues she had worked with before, thinking that she should have a breakup meal with them.
Then he said: "It is better to choose a day than to hit it. Tonight, I will treat everyone to a Haidilao meal."
Colleagues cheered. "Yeah."
News of the magazine's dinner party spread like wildfire. Perhaps it was because the magazine had won four best-selling issues and was in the limelight recently. Many people wanted to see Qiao An's style, so many employees from other departments came to learn from the magazine in the name of it.
They all came to have a feast.
What was originally a small department dinner turned into a huge company party.
At this time, no one asked for instructions from the host, so some little Sesame officials who were accustomed to flattering the president went to invite the president. The reason for the invitation was very careless: "President, the magazine's large-scale celebration party tonight is hosted by Editor-in-Chief Qiao, who is specially invited.
You come to participate. Will you come?"
Li Xiaoran was slightly stunned, Qiao An actually invited him to her party? She felt inexplicably happy, "Okay." He happily went to the appointment.
Qiao An originally thought that the number of people at the party would be more than a dozen people from the magazine, so she initially positioned it as a high-end restaurant. Who knew that dozens of people came one after another. When Li Xiaoran and his assistant walked in high-spirited, Qiao An
An was instantly embarrassed.
She was as panicked as thousands of grass and mud horses galloping around, just because she didn't know how much money was in her bank card and whether it would be enough to last tonight.
However, the director of the magazine was so vain. He was worried that Qiao An would not treat guests well, so he told Qiao An several times: "An'an, the president is here, you have to order the dishes better. Don't embarrass the magazine."
Qiao An really wanted to ask him to split the order, but in the end she held back and didn't say anything.
After the party started, several white-bone spirits in the company rushed to sit next to Li Xiaoran. From a distance, Qiao An saw Li Xiaoran entering the daughter's kingdom just like Tang Monk. He looked around uncomfortably.
What do you seem to be looking for?
Qiao An was originally sitting far away from Li Xiaoran, but at this time someone shouted: "Where is our protagonist tonight? Our gold medal writer Qiao An has been invited to the stage to speak."
Qiao An shrank her neck and wanted to burrow into the ground, but she was surrounded by colleagues from the magazine and walked to the open space in front of the president.
"What are you talking about?" Qiao Anshe had a panic attack and asked shyly.
"Qiao An, you have won the best-selling title for four consecutive issues, and you have a unique vision... Just pass on some of your successful experiences!"
Speaking of discernment, Qiao An added in a strange way: "My discernment is not good."
Li Xiaoran's smile condensed in her eyes.
In Qiao An's mind, how bad is he?
Qiao An talked very perfunctorily about the process of interviewing the Fourth Young Master of Kyoto, and then was pulled in front of Li Xiaoran. The man shouted: "Come on, come on, Qiao An, today you have to give a toast to the president. The president is busy with everything, but
Thank you for attending your celebration party."
Qiao An looked numb.
At this time, I don’t know who gave her a glass of wine. Qiao An looked at the full glass of white wine and realized that she had water in her head today. How could she make such a stupid decision?
She can't drink at all?
Li Xiaoran held the wine and looked at the embarrassed Qiao An intently.
Qiao An thought for a while, and finally squeezed out a few words that were not nutritious: "President, thank you for coming to the breakup dinner with my colleagues in the magazine. After tonight, I will not come to Haiyue Group tomorrow. With this opportunity
Let me have a glass of wine and tell you that I take care of you. I hope we can live in peace in the future."
At this time, everyone was excited.
"What, Qiao An wants to resign?"
Li Xiaoran's joy at attending the party disappeared in an instant. Frost accumulated in his heart, and he felt bitter. In the end, besides blessing her generously, he didn't know what else to say.
"Qiao An, I wish you peace for the rest of your life."
After Li Xiaoran finished speaking, he raised his head and drank it all in one gulp.
Qiao An stood there awkwardly, looking at the wine in his hand in embarrassment, at a loss.
Li Xiaoran drank a glass of cold wine. She probably drank too hard and too hastily. She felt that her heart was burning and uncomfortable, but she still had to rescue Qiao An like a gentleman.
"Don't know how to drink? Then don't drink." He took the wine from her hand and put it on the dining table.
The atmosphere at this time was a bit tense, and Qiao An's ignorance of current affairs disappointed everyone.
Just at this time, Li Xiaoran's cell phone rang.
Li Xiaoran answered the phone and the other party's voice was very loud, which Qiao An standing in front of him could hear very clearly.
"Doctor Li, Dr. Lu fainted."
Li Xiaoran's face immediately showed a look of panic: "I'll be right over."
Then he waved to his colleagues and immediately ran outside anxiously.
Qiao An looked at his back, and for some reason suddenly remembered that when she had a miscarriage at the Li family, she made herself covered in blood. When Luo Ke panicked and ran out with her on his back, her peripheral vision glanced at Li Xiaoran from a distance,
He was indifferent.
Qiao An suddenly smiled to himself.
It turns out that she has been so sentimental for such a long time.
His previous kindness to her in the hospital was probably out of sympathy for her.
Perhaps because the president left midway, the dinner party became boring, and many people left after a few bites.
Finally, Qiao An took the bonus card Li Xiaoran gave her to the front desk to pay, and the waiter told her that the total cost was 68,000.
Qiao An anxiously handed the bank card to the waiter. When the payment was successfully made, Qiao An was stunned.
Is there so much money in this card?
After coming out of the hotel, Qiao An found an ATM. She inserted the card, entered the initial password, and checked the balance. When she saw the long string of zeros on the bank card, Qiao An was shocked.
After counting, Li Xiaoran gave her a total of 600 million.
Why did he give her so much money?
Is it...breakup fee?
Qiao An suddenly felt that her hands and feet were cold.
His heart was clearly in pain, but a sad sneer appeared on his face.
Probably, in Li Xiaoran's eyes, she really is a woman who despises poverty and loves wealth.
Of course she was angry, because in her opinion, Li Xiaoran's behavior was an insult to her personality.
