Chapter 724 The Secret Under Zhao Ruijie's Glasses
When Zhao Ruijie saw Kaikai turning his head, she also looked over, was startled for a moment, and then smiled.
Ouyang Mingkai was startled for a moment. The woman who called him by his name really had no impression of her, but she knew his English name and was prepared to call him out. She must be familiar with her.
"Hello you"
"I'm Vickery's sister. I went to your house on your eighteenth birthday-"
Ouyang Mingkai nodded, but he still had no impression. There were many girls at home that day, and he had no impression either.
"Vice President, who said there are no women around you? There are beauties from as far away as the UK who just came here to catch up with their wives. Your relationship with women is really not that good?"
Zhao Ruijie smiled and pushed Ouyang Mingkai. When she was not at work, she and Ouyang Mingkai always talked in such a "neither up nor down" manner.
"Xiaojie, if you weren't the secretary, I would think you were jealous. She is the sister of our classmate at Windsor Public School, but they have always been closer to my brother."
Ouyang Mingkai responded with a smile. The longer the two of them worked together, the more casual they talked and the more jokes they made.
"My classmates' sisters can tell you brothers apart at a glance, so they are obviously interested in you." Zhao Ruijie nodded, but made a face.
"I think I have a deep memory of Xuanxuan, let's go."
Ouyang Mingkai shook his head. No matter whose sister it was, he didn't intend to talk to anyone. What happened at his and Xuanxuan's eighteenth birthday party is still fresh in their brothers' memories. As for those women, they are still fresh in their minds.
It's better to stay away.
"Claire, is Adonis okay? Has he come to England with you?" As soon as Kaikai took a few steps, the lady caught up and asked.
"No, he has work, so he shouldn't be here."
Ouyang Mingkai frowned slightly, and Zhao Ruijie shook his head. It seemed that the vice president's mysophobia had occurred again. He just said a few words and had such a big reaction. It was really hopeless. Apart from Sun Jingxian, he might not be able to find anyone in this life.
Got a girlfriend.
"Ms. Zhao, please come with me. Your room is on the third floor."
Ouyang Mingkai was pestered by the sister of his classmate. Zhao Ruijie had no intention of listening, so she followed the servants in the castle to the third floor.
"Thank you, I like it here very much." Zhao Ruijie fell in love with this room at first sight. It has a medieval aristocratic style and is very special.
"Ms. Zhao, please take a rest first. The dinner will not start in half an hour."
After the servant left, Aunt Zhao Rui wanted to lie down and rest for a while, but then there was a knock on the door. She thought the servant had forgotten something, but she didn't expect Ouyang Mingkai to be standing outside the door.
"Vice President, your room should be next door."
Zhao Ruijie pointed to the left and said, she specifically asked the servant just now.
"Zhao Ruijie, in addition to being your boss, I'm also a friend. It's too much for you to leave me alone."
Ouyang Mingkai pretended to be angry.
"Well, it's my fault. I didn't fulfill my responsibility as a subordinate. I saw you having a good time chatting with a beautiful woman and didn't want to disturb you, so I came up to rest."
Zhao Ruijie and Ouyang Mingkai looked cheerful and said.
"Are you still bothering me? Secretary Zhao, your eyesight is getting worse and worse. It seems you need to see a doctor."
"Okay, then I'll take leave to see a doctor, and the vice president will take care of the rest." Zhao Ruijie smiled and was about to close the door, when Ouyang Mingkai stepped in.
"This place is nice. I didn't expect it to still maintain the medieval style. If you are not used to it, we will"
"It's great. I like it here very much. Can I live here before returning to China?"
"Of course there is no problem, but there is one thing. If a woman strikes up a conversation next time, you have to help me block it."
Ouyang Mingkai sat down in the room. He had a bad feeling that something might happen when he came to England this time.
"Vice President, if you are approached by a woman, it means you are attractive. Besides, you go to a boys' school."
"Although I go to a boys' school, all my classmates have older sisters. Let's not talk about that. There is a cocktail party tomorrow night, and you have to attend it with me."
This kind of reception is a must, but he doesn't really like the women at the reception. In China, unless necessary, usually his father will attend.
"Vice President, aren't you? You want me to be the grass protector? This task is too difficult. I'm afraid I'm not up to it."
Zhao Ruijie always felt rejected. Although there were many secretaries who accompanied their bosses to cocktail parties, she really didn't like them. Some of her bad memories were related to the cocktail parties, so she always rejected them.
"Ms. Zhao, this is England. Where do you want me to find a female companion? So, no matter what difficulties you have, you must overcome them."
At this point, Ouyang Mingkai and Zhao Ruijie are somewhat similar, and neither of them likes them very much. However, as the president of a company, these cocktail parties are also necessary.
Considering that Zhao Ruijie came here for the first time, there was no work scheduled for the next day. However, because of the banquet in the evening, they could not go out to play. Because they were not prepared, Zhao Ruijie did not have a dress. Therefore, Ouyang Mingkai took her to do styling in the afternoon.
,buying clothes.
"Vice President, do you have to bring a companion? Can you ask the Duke to find a female companion for you?"
Looking at the evening gowns in the window, Zhao Ruijie frowned.
"No, two hours at most, maybe we can leave in one hour."
Ouyang Mingkai persuaded patiently.
"Okay, but I may not be a good female companion, so don't be too disappointed when the time comes."
Zhao Ruijie had no choice but to bite the bullet and said.
But looking at those evening gowns, she still shook her head, always feeling that she was not suitable. Later, the clerk suggested that she let her do styling first, so they went to the styling store again.
"What are you doing?" Ouyang Mingkai, who was waiting aside, suddenly heard Zhao Ruijie's frightened cry and was so frightened that he hurried over.
"I just need to take off my glasses, young lady"
The stylist was very embarrassed. Zhao Ruijie's glasses blocked two-thirds of her face. Just think about how weird it would be to wear such glasses and an evening dress.
"Xiaojie, maybe you can try contact lenses."
Ouyang Mingkai advised after hearing this.
"No, I won't take off my glasses." Zhao Ruijie pressed her hands on the frames and said with extreme repulsion.xdw8
"Otherwise, Miss, you can change to a lighter one..."
"No"
This was the first time Ouyang Mingkai saw Yue Ruijie's expression, so he waved his hand to the stylist and told him to go do other things first while he came to persuade Zhao Ruijie.
"Xiaojie, your glasses are too big and they don't match well."
"No, Ouyang Mingkai, anything is fine, but I won't take off my glasses." Zhao Ruijie overreacted.
"Why? It's just a change of glasses, it won't be so serious."
Ouyang Mingkai said and reached out to take Zhao Ruijie's glasses. However, Zhao Ruijie quickly avoided it and retreated to a corner.
"Why?"
Ouyang Mingkai became more and more puzzled. Girls all wanted to be more beautiful, but Zhao Ruijie chose such a pair of big and ugly glasses.
"Find someone else to accompany you. I won't be attending the reception." Zhao Ruijie's defensive eyes were like those of an injured feline. Ouyang Mingkai didn't know how to comfort him for a moment.
"Xiaojie, we are in the UK, and the reception is only five hours away. Do you think I have time to find a female companion? Besides, I have mysophobia, so for those I don't know..."
Ouyang Mingkai patiently advised, "This cocktail party will include overtime pay."
Seeing that Zhao Ruijie still shook his head, Ouyang Mingkai finally said helplessly: "In that case, let's wear glasses."
"Vice President, you can ask the Duke of Northumberland to lend you a lady, or your classmate's sister. I really can't help you."
Zhao Ruijie shook her head again. Originally, she thought she could participate wearing glasses, but looking at herself in the mirror, she felt it was better not to participate. In this way, even if she did attend, it would only smear Ouyang Mingkai, and may even affect Ouyang Mingkai.
to the company's image.
"Why? Xiaojie, you have to give me a reason." Ouyang Mingkai was a little angry. He accompanied his boss to the banquet. The secretary also had a responsibility. Why was she so repulsive?
"I don't want to embarrass you." Zhao Ruijie hesitated for a while, then bit her lip and said.
Now Ouyang Mingkai was even more puzzled. Why would it be embarrassing to take off his glasses? Is it a matter of appearance?
"Xiaojie, appearance is nothing. Appearances are given by our parents. We have no choice. You are Zhao Ruijie. You work so hard and are so confident. Why?"
Zhao Ruijie looked at it and made sure there was no one else around before saying: "Vice President, I'm not unconfident, I just don't want to embarrass you."
Zhao Ruijie lowered her head, took a deep breath and then another, and finally seemed to have made a lot of determination. When she raised her head again, the huge pair of black-rimmed glasses had been taken off.
Suddenly seeing the face in the mirror, Ouyang Mingkai was stunned.
She is not ugly, on the contrary, her facial features are very delicate. Although she is not the popular awl face, this oval face is very beautiful...
Before Ouyang Mingkai could react, Zhao Ruijie had already put on her glasses again.
"You understand, so from now on, whenever you need to attend cocktail parties, banquets, dances, etc. with a companion, you will have another female companion."
Zhao Ruijie was a little depressed, and she didn't want to be like this. But when she was a child, and after going to college, she was teased by others, so that she didn't take off her glasses when sleeping in the dormitory. If she felt really uncomfortable, she would also put on an eye patch and put her glasses on.
In an easily accessible location.
"It's nothing, Xiaojie, it's just a birthmark. It's not as serious as you think. Besides, I think the stylist should have something to do. Do you have the courage to try?"
Ouyang Mingkai knew that his silence might have hurt Zhao Ruijie, so he tried his best to speak in a gentle tone.
He wasn't surprised just now, he was just fascinated by those clear eyes. Her eyes were very clean, like a baby's eyes, pure and transparent.
"Is it just a fetus? When I was in elementary school and college, my classmates would scream when they saw it. Do you think it's nothing?" Zhao Ruijie smiled bitterly. She didn't want to wear glasses, but in order to cover the black mark, she had to
Wearing glasses, she even felt that the reason why she was abandoned might be because of this birthmark.
