Mr. Li, you are out of favor

Reluctantly clenched his fists tightly, gritted his teeth, spoke as calmly as possible, and told a white lie, knowing that even if it was like this, it would not be possible to make them feel at ease, but at least it would not be so sad.

There is only so much I can do in my current situation, and Gao Qingman can only sigh, hating himself for being too weak, too small, and having no strength to protect himself, let alone the people he cares about.

After a few words of comfort, and trying to talk about his life better, Gao Qingman finally coaxed his father to hang up the phone. The moment he put down the phone, he let out a long sigh and acted like this Putting on a big show really requires too much physical strength, and it is more of a feeling of physical and mental exhaustion.

Wait a little longer, when the time is right, she will have a showdown, and then there is no need to lie like this, for fear that she will be exposed, and perform tremblingly every day.

"Mr. Gao, when do you want the financial statement for the last period of the tripartite cooperation?"

Sitting in front of the booth with her eyes closed, Gao Qingman just felt herself recovering a bit when Secretary Wang came over, holding a stack of folders in her hand, which looked like something she was going to sign for her.

"Isn't there still one week? Can it be handed in now?"

One week later, it will be the day of the last delivery of the tripartite cooperation. At that time, she will be able to get rid of this restrained contract, and can fight Li Xuewen to the death with dignity.

"Before the end, one period of the report should be returned. Didn't Yancheng require it to be issued every week?"

According to the previous practice, every financial change in the tripartite cooperation needs to be communicated with Yan Cheng.

This can also understand why, why Secretary Wang came together to say this now.

"Let me go back and ask, you guys prepare first."

Thinking about this morning, when she saw Li Sheng standing in front of the ward with a pale face, and said that she was going to the company for a meeting, Gao Qingman was a little hesitant. In fact, she was very clear about the previous requests for financial reports, but it was Li Sheng who gave her problem.

Judging from the current situation, even if she really took the initiative to do the financial report, she would probably be rejected by Li Sheng.

"Ok."

After getting the answer she needed, Secretary Wang respectfully put down the stack of folders in her hand, briefly explained to her what these were, then bowed, turned and left.

Looking through the accumulated work of the past five days, Gao Qingman felt that one of his heads was bigger than the two, took a deep breath, and calmed down to deal with the work as soon as possible, thinking that Li Sheng was waiting for him downstairs, It was even faster.

After about half an hour, Gao Qingman finally finished all the work, quickly took his bag and went downstairs, and rushed all the way back to Li Sheng's car.

Because he thought that he might still be waiting for him, Gao Qingman left quite quickly, and didn't give him time to react, so when he opened the door, he saw Li Sheng's surprised expression.

At that time, Li Sheng was holding the phone, he didn't know what he was talking to the person on the other end of the phone, when he heard the car door was opened, when he turned to look at her, a flash of panic flashed in his eyes.

And Gao Qingman, who originally had a grudge because of Lin Hengjia's phone call, was even more sensitive at the moment, and quickly noticed the change in Li Sheng's expression. He didn't say anything on the surface, but just sat in the car calmly. In fact, he was wearing a seat belt. , while listening carefully, who is he talking to.

"Okay, let's do this first, well, you should pay attention to yourself, bye."

I thought he would continue to finish the phone call before leaving, but he just ended the conversation quickly, and his tone sounded very unusual. Some inexplicable tenderness and familiarity.

You know, Li Sheng is not the kind of person who usually talks softly to others, he can't wait to use one word to express himself to everyone, how can he call so casually and just say goodbye to anyone?
"What's the matter with you?"

Gao Qingman pretended to turn his head inadvertently, coughed twice, still hiding his curiosity.

"It's okay, it's Lin Hengjia."

He thought he would hide something, but he didn't expect to speak the truth directly, even his expression didn't change much, it was as natural as saying that the weather is fine today.

This overly calm nonchalantness made Gao Qingman feel uneasy, especially when he met his eyes.

"She asked me out to dinner just now."

Since it has already been mentioned, there is no need to avoid it. Gao Qingman simply said it directly, wanting to see his expression.

Sure enough, a trace of hesitation flashed through his seemingly nonchalant eyes.

"Well, there might be something wrong, aren't you cooperating?"

This is not at all like the usual concise and concise attitude, which made Gao Qingman, who was already skeptical, more sure of his conjecture.

"Can I ask you a question now?"

He simply turned his head from his co-pilot, faced him face to face, and asked sincerely.

"Say."

"What is your relationship with Lin Hengjia?"

If it were normal, Gao Qingman would never ask such a question, because this is something she has been curious about for a long time, but when she asked it before, Li Sheng dismissed it lightly, so she carefully After thinking about it, is it because I have no position to ask about this matter?
But today's successive blows made her feel a crisis hidden in the depths. Before she had time to return to a rational way of thinking, she faced him directly and subconsciously spoke out.

"She was my... fiancee, once."

I don't know if it was a deliberate explanation, but Li Sheng added the word Zeng at the end.

Although he had already guessed what they might have had, but he didn't expect it to be such an explosive thing, which made Gao Qingman somewhat incapable of accepting it.

"Fiancee? Was... once?"

They have already reached the point of getting engaged, why did they break up?

Although this is something Gao Qingman wants to know very much, but the word in my mind is "ex-girlfriend".

Looking at his seemingly disappointed expression, Gao Qingman felt as if his heart had been pinched, disappointed and at the same time a little bit lost.

Isn't there such a saying?

It is called, once the sea was too difficult to be water, except that Wushan is not a cloud.

No matter how good the current person is, every man will remember the woman he loved deeply before.

People often write jokes about this kind of thing on the Internet, and Gao Qingman has seen many of them, and there are even some relatively real and extreme cases that once appeared on the headlines of the news. At this moment, after listening to him After the explanation, Gao Qingman suddenly remembered.

"We studied in one place and got engaged after returning to China, but then some other things happened in the middle, so we broke up."

I vaguely remembered that someone had mentioned to me before that Li Sheng and Lin Hengjia were actually ex-girlfriends, but when I heard Li Sheng recalling these things to me, no matter it was an illusion or something, it always seemed that there was something in his tone. A trace of pity and nostalgia made people panic when they heard it.

"So you were once lovers."

Gao Qingman summed up the long-winded explanation into one sentence, which is also the part she cares about the most.

"I, the one I love is you."

Seeing that she seemed to be jealous, Li Sheng felt a little uneasy on the one hand, fearing that she would get angry, but on the other hand, he felt very sweet. The person who was always close to him on weekdays suddenly showed concern for him. This feeling, Even if it is a child who has just begun to fall in love in adolescence, she is the same as the one who fell in love at first sight, sweet and sour, and somewhat inexplicably beautiful.

When I turned my head to look at her again, it felt as if I had put on a filter, it was as beautiful as a dream.

"..."

The sudden confession made her feel at a loss. She could only stare at the other person with a pair of innocent eyes, and her eyes, which had nowhere to rest, were turned to one side. It was hot, but his gaze was too gentle, in short, his cheeks were flushed red.

"I'll take you back to the guild hall first, the hospital still has to go back to live, even if you don't worry, I don't worry!"

Seeing her shyly turning her face to the other side, Li Sheng couldn't help but want to laugh, his original serious expression instantly became frivolous, with a hint of joking in his tone, he started the car and drove towards the clubhouse.

No one was talking along the way, until the car stopped at the place, and Gao Qingman didn't have any event or language communication with him at all, he got into the car on his own, and took the lead into the gate of the guild hall .

"Go up and pack the clothes you need. I called the hospital just now. Your head injury still needs to be observed for a while."

Li Sheng saw her walking forward indomitably, as if she was in a hurry to escape, he didn't even stop the car properly, he threw the key to the security guard at the door, and took two quick steps to catch up with her, regardless of whether she could listen or not, First, a warning.

"understood."

Gao Qingman still kept his head down, and walked all the way forward, refusing to look up at him no matter what, when he reached his own floor, he got off the elevator without saying a word.

Left alone, Li Sheng held down the button of the elevator to open the door, not allowing it to close, and watched her hastily enter the room from the back, only then did he show a satisfied smile, closed the elevator, and continued to go up.

Thinking of her stunned expression in the car just now, Li Sheng couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth, whether she wanted to admit it or not, at least her subconscious behavior had already expressed her true inner thoughts.

In fact, he didn't have anything to come back. The reason why he drove the car back to the hall was not at all to let Gao Qingman pack something, but to give her a surprise prepared by himself.

This also depends on Li Ying's reminder to himself before, if he hadn't said in a serious manner, as long as she is a woman, no matter what, no matter what personality, she will like those surprises that seem clichéd. It never occurred to me to prepare these for her.

Now as long as he thinks of the moment when Gao Qingman pushed open the door and entered, Li Sheng, who has always been calm, feels a little excited in his heart.
