Chapter 291 The Good Guy Card

Looking up suddenly, Lin Qiaozhi saw the team leader's warm and concerned face.

She didn't know why she felt the current atmosphere was awkward.

"Team leader, you haven't gone back yet?" Lin Qiaozhi did not answer the team leader's question.

Because the reason she was working overtime today was not for work, and she was embarrassed to say that she had been working overtime until now.

"Yeah, just finished the meeting."

The man seemed not to notice Lin Qiaozhi's embarrassment and continued talking to her with no intention of ending the conversation.

"Qiaozhi, are you done with your work? If you are, pack up and I'll take you home. It's not safe for a girl like you to go home so late."

The man's tone was gentle, without any airs of leadership at all.

"It's okay, Team Leader. I'll go back by myself, otherwise it will be too much trouble for you."

When Lin Qiaozhi heard that her team leader wanted to send her home, she refused without much thought.

Hearing the rejection in Lin Qiaozhi's tone, the man did not feel embarrassed, and the expression on his face remained gentle.

"It's no trouble, just on the way."

The team leader continued.

Seeing that the other party said so, Lin Qiaozhi knew that it would be a bit ungrateful to refuse the other party again.

"Then I'll trouble you, Team Leader."

At this moment, Lin Qiaozhi could only use the word "regret" to describe her mood. She regretted why she didn't leave earlier.

If it weren't for other people and Lin Qiaozhi, she wouldn't have thought it was a big deal, but recently she felt that her team leader seemed to have different ideas about her, which was very embarrassing.

The other party is my superior, and the most important thing is that he did not directly break that layer of paper, so even if I wanted to refuse, I had no way to refuse.

After Lin Qiaozhi got into the team leader's car, the atmosphere inside the car became even stranger.

The man seemed to be calm throughout the whole process, as if he didn't notice Lin Qiaozhi's discomfort.

"Qiaozhi, do you have a boyfriend?"

Finally, it was the man who broke the weird atmosphere in the car.

Lin Qiaozhi did not expect the other party to be so direct and ask such a question right away.

What she was thinking about now was how she would refuse without being embarrassed if the team leader said he liked her.

"I don't want to talk about it now."

After her mind worked quickly, Lin Qiaozhi gave the man a very clear reply.

"A girl your age should be in love, why don't you want to?"

The man seemed not to understand the meaning of Lin Qiaozhi's words and continued to discuss the issue with Lin Qiaozhi.

"Team leader, I think I should focus more on my work now. Dating is a bit of a waste of time."

Lin Qiaozhi gave the same answer to the team leader again.

"Qiaozhi, actually I noticed you when you first joined the company."

"I have seen your progress and hard work over the past three years, and I know that you are a very motivated girl."

"So I believe that even if you fall in love, it will not affect your work."

"Next month our department will begin a new round of team leader evaluations, and I am very optimistic about you."

Lin Qiaozhi was just thinking about how to reject the team leader, but he suddenly changed the subject and jumped directly to work, which caught Lin Qiaozhi off guard.

"Team Leader, what about you?"

Lin Qiaozhi’s first reaction was to be promoted to team leader, so what would the original team leader do?

"I'm going to be promoted next week, and I still hope that you can take over my job."

The man had said so much, he didn't believe that Lin Qiaozhi still didn't understand what he meant.

"Ah! How come I haven't heard of it?"

This news was a bit sudden for Lin Qiaozhi. She didn't even know that her superior was going to be promoted.

"You're just too focused on work."

Seeing Lin Qiaozhi's confused expression, the man chuckled.

"Qiaozhi, I admire you very much. What about you? How do you feel about me?"

The man always controlled the topic and content of the conversation and did not give Lin Qiaozhi any chance to evade.

Hearing this, Lin Qiaozhi thought to herself that he had finally come.

It seems that we can't be perfunctory.

"Team Leader, you are very good! I am also very grateful for your care and affirmation of me in the past few years, but I don't want to lie to you. I actually have someone I like in my heart, so I will not fall in love for the time being."

Since you can't avoid it, just say it directly.

Lin Qiaozhi knew why the team leader mentioned the promotion before confessing, but she really couldn't fall in love with someone she didn't like just for the sake of promotion.

The man seemed to have expected Lin Qiaozhi's rejection. He had not originally planned to be with the girl after revealing his feelings to her today.

Today's conversation is just a signal to the other party.

"Qiaozhi, I understand your thoughts, but sometimes the best way to forget someone is to start a new relationship."

"I'm not asking you to accept my confession right away. I just want you to know my feelings. I will continue to pursue you in the future. The reason why I'm telling you my feelings now is also related to the promotion I just mentioned."

"I hope you can take over my job. This is what I really think. Of course, you don't have to feel pressured. Our job is our job. This is where your ability lies."

"Another aspect is that after I get promoted, I will be transferred out of my current department. This way, even if I pursue you again or we are in a relationship, it will not have a negative impact on you."

Seeing that they were getting close to Lin Qiaozhi's home, the man did not bother to explain in detail and just explained everything to her first, otherwise it would be bad if the girl misunderstood.

If the man didn't explain, Lin Qiaozhi would really misunderstand what he meant.

She thought the team leader was trying to force her to get a promotion, but she didn't expect it to be this reason.

After hearing the other party's words, Lin Qiaozhi was moved for a moment.

Inevitably, she thought of Gu Lin.

The team leader's meticulous explanation just now was completely opposite to Gu Lin's usual working style.

Now Lin Qiaozhi really didn’t know how to refuse the other party.

The man seemed to see the embarrassment on Lin Qiaozhi's face.

"Qiaozhi, you don't have to give me an answer right now. I just hope you can give me a chance to pursue you in the future. Also give me a chance for you to forget the person in your heart."

From beginning to end, the man's attitude and tone were very gentle, which did not make people feel unacceptable.

"Team Leader, I'm honestly saying you're a very good person, but I've spent three years trying to get over the person in my heart, so I may not be able to respond to your feelings."

Lin Qiaozhi played the nice guy card to the man for the second time.

Once again receiving the good guy card from Lin Qiaozhi, the man was really helpless.

Is there no chance at all?

"It doesn't matter, do you hate me?"

The man decided to try again.
