Hey! The CEO who just scolded me met someone on a blind date.

"Mr. Qi!" Everyone stood up.

Qi Yan changed his serious image in the company, put on a rare smile, and sat down. "It seems that you two are getting along well. What are you talking about?"

"We just found out that Manager Su is married. It's such a pity. We wonder who is capable enough to marry her." Xiao Hu, the girl sitting next to Su Zimu, spoke up.

Qi Yan glanced at Su Zimu, who was smiling and looking down, and said, "I guess that person must be excellent himself, to be able to pursue our Director Su."

"Manager Su, what does your husband do?" Xiao Hu looked at her expectantly.

"He..." Su Zimu was at a loss for words. He thought for a moment before speaking, "He does everything. He takes any job that can make money. He doesn't have a fixed industry."

"Oh. Then his income is not very stable." Xiao Hu was a little disappointed.

"Um...it's okay, just barely...enough for the two of us to live on." Su Zimu blinked guiltily.

"I know, he must be very handsome!" Xiao Hu said, "I didn't expect Manager Su is also obsessed with looks."

"Not handsome, not handsome." Su Zimu waved his hands quickly, "Very ordinary."

After Su Zimu finished speaking, he quickly glanced at Qi Yan opposite him.

The corners of his mouth curved downward, as if he was about to give up in the next second, and he picked up the cup to cover his mouth.

Xiao Hu sighed, "Then you two must be truly in love."

"Ah? How do you know that we are truly in love?"

"Not caring about the other person's money or looks, isn't that true love?" Xiao Hu said.

"Oh."

"Okay, stop targeting your supervisor Su and give others some space." After Qi Yan said this, everyone naturally understood and stopped paying attention to Su Zimu.

……

The dinner ended around half past ten and everyone started to go their separate ways.

Everyone had left, and in the end only Qi Yan and Su Zimu were left.

"I'll give it to you?" Qi Yan was holding a suit in his hand, with the sleeves of his white shirt rolled up to his elbows, looking more casual.

"No need." Su Zimu refused without thinking, "Mr. Qi, you should go back and rest early."

Qi Yan didn't force it, "Is there a car to pick you up?"

"Ah... yes, the car is on the way." Su Zimu lied. Who would really let their leader send them there, unless they were stupid.

"Then I'll stay with you for a while, it's a good chance to get rid of the smell of alcohol." He then sat down beside the flower bed.

Su Zimu saw that he really wanted to wait with her, and her lies would be exposed in a minute, so she panicked, "Boss Qi, you really don't have to do this..."

"It's okay, just consider it as some compensation."

compensate?

Qi Yan spoke in a low voice, and Su Zimu was not sure if he heard it clearly. He did not want to ask again, so he just smiled politely in response.

Qi Yan suddenly stood up and said, "It seems that my mission as the flower protector has been completed."

Su Zimu followed his gaze and turned around, and saw a familiar figure standing under a tree not far away.

She waved at the figure.

Jiang Huaizhou walked over, took her hand, and interlocked their fingers.

Su Zimu felt embarrassed. Wasn't it inappropriate to do this in front of his boss?

She tried to break free, but was held even tighter.

Jiang Huaizhou was wearing a black casual outfit today. Although he didn't have the oppressive feeling of his usual suit and tie, he was tall, didn't like to smile, and had a strong aura. Everyone could tell at a glance that he was not an ordinary person.

"Mr. Jiang?" Qi Yan held his coat in his left hand and stretched out his right hand.

Jiang Huaizhou held Su Zimu's hand with his right hand, put his left hand in his pocket, and squinted his eyes at Qi Yan opposite him.

"Shake...hands...yeah." Su Zimu looked at the situation and quickly leaned back and whispered, "He is my boss~"

Jiang Huaizhou didn't know whether he heard it or not. He didn't reach out his hand, but just smiled and said, "Sorry, my right hand is not convenient."

As soon as the words came out, Su Zimu saw Qi Yan's eyes sweeping over the two people's clasped hands. His temples twitched uncontrollably and he smiled awkwardly.

Qi Yan didn't seem to mind. He smiled, retracted his right hand and stretched out his left hand.

Perhaps he didn't expect him to be so persistent, Jiang Huaizhou frowned inadvertently, but it disappeared in a flash, and then he stretched out his left hand.

The two men let go of each other's hands, and Qi Yan laughed softly, "Jiang Huaizhou, I didn't expect you to be so proud."

"You... knew each other before?" Su Zimu looked at Jiang Huaizhou, who was also confused at this moment.

"I've seen him at school, but I'm afraid he doesn't even remember me."

"Classmate?" Su Zimu was surprised.

"Same school, different grade." Qi Yan explained: "We just met at an event organized by the school. I handed him a bottle of water. But... he was completely ignored."

Qi Yan said this and laughed.

Su Zimu was so embarrassed that he almost dug out a three-bedroom apartment with his toes, and could only chuckle.

Based on her understanding of Jiang Huaizhou, he was definitely capable of doing such rude and arrogant things.

"Ah, so you two are destined to be together. You should have said it earlier." As she spoke, she raised her eyes and glanced at the person next to her. Her face was expressionless and she had no intention of getting close to him.

However, he doesn't need to and won't have such thoughts.

Qi Yan lowered his head and smiled, "My mission to protect the flower is accomplished, so I'll leave first."

"Okay, Mr. Qi, take care." Su Zimu said while smiling and waving.

……

"Are you planning to take root here?" The person next to him complained, "Are you still not leaving?"

"He is my boss. Out of courtesy, I will watch him get into the car." Su Zimu let out his anger when he saw Qi Yan get into the car.

"When can you do this to me?" Jiang Huaizhou took her hand and walked back.

"Different."

"Why is it different?" He looked at her sideways.

"Can our own people and outsiders be the same?" Su Zimu answered casually.

As if he was satisfied with the answer, the corner of his mouth curled up, and his surroundings suddenly became a lot gentler.

"You really don't remember him? His name is Qi Yan."

Seeing him shaking his head, Su Zimu glanced at him and said, "No wonder you have no friends. You didn't even accept a bottle of water. How embarrassed they must be."

Jiang Huaizhou squinted at her, "What if the water is poisonous, or he has germs on his hands?"

Su Zimu stared at him blankly, as if he was looking at a mentally retarded person.

"In your eyes, is there anything clean?"

"Yes." He answered seriously, "I like things that are clean."

Looking at his dark and deep eyes, full of tenderness, she seemed to be about to melt in that clear spring in the next second.

The atmosphere suddenly became unusual.

Su Zimu quickly retracted his gaze, "I am a thing?"

Is it a thing?

Not a thing?

Jiang Huaizhou frowned at her, and the good atmosphere was immediately ruined by her question.

She blinked and changed the subject, "Didn't I see your car?"
