Lost [Transmigration Book]
Chapter 20
Zhao Rong did return to the company.
He woke up early in the morning, returned the piles of messages on his phone, searched for the information he needed, and then continued to think about how to get the inheritance left to him by his grandma.
He also tested Lu Xingping a few times. This person is exactly the same as the one described in the original book. He seems gentle and friendly, but he is sharp and straightforward when getting along with him, but he doesn't make people feel pressured. No, on the contrary, there is always a estrangement hidden in polite exchanges.
He has already confirmed that Lu Xingping's relationship line has not deviated from the original work, he just needs to find an opportunity to discuss with Lu Xingping, and ask if the other party is willing to fulfill a marriage contract with him.If Lu Xingping disagreed, then he had tried, and it was fate that he couldn't get it.If Lu Xingping is willing to win-win, then the property will be divided in half between the two, which is neither distracting nor fair.
But this step is the most difficult.
Judging from Zhao Rong's experience of meeting all kinds of people over the years, even if he and Lu Xingping had a hundred back and forth exchanges, their relationship could only be that of a gentleman, and it was impossible to compare with Qiao Nanqi Xia Yuantu's. The two grew up together with Lu Xingping.
He rashly suggested that Lu Xingping, who might have someone else in his heart, felt that he had other intentions, or he was still biased towards Qiao Nanqi, and directly followed the original line of this matter and half of the Chen family's property to Qiao Nanqi.No one would dare to touch Lu Xingping's half, but not necessarily his half.Although the current Qiao Nanqi does not seem to be so utterly extinct, but what if?
Then he would just fetch water from a bamboo basket in vain.
Still have to take it slow.
After much deliberation, Lu Xiaoyue still has a chance.
After all, Lu Xingping is a well-known doting sister.
--company.
Lu Xiaoyue is currently an intern at Qiao's head office.
After Zhao Rong made up his mind, he stopped hesitating, tidied up at home and drove to the company by himself.
But he didn't go back to his idle job.
He has a legitimate stake in the company.
He is only 26 years old this year, he still has a long life, and there are still many things he can and should do.It was his own choice to waste time with Qiao Nanqi in the past, but now he wants to do something for himself, which is also his choice.
He went back to the company and went directly to the people in the administration department.
He has been in the head office for more than a year just to dawdle, the whole company is so big, there are so many people coming and going every day, but only Song Xinxin's colleagues know him, others have no impression of him at all.
The person who dealt with his request went back and forth several times to verify Zhao Rong's shareholding, and only then did he realize it belatedly.But they didn't arrange it for him immediately, but asked him to wait a while, and they didn't know what procedure to follow.
Zhao Rong went to his original seat first, and packed his few sundries.
Song Xinxin was surprised to see him.
"Zhao Rong? What are you packing up for? Could it be..."
Zhao Rong smiled: "It's not that I was fired, I will change offices later."
Song Xinxin didn't know that the "one room" he mentioned was really one room, and thought he was going to change to another station, so she didn't ask any more questions.
"Where have you been this week?" She still remembered that the last time she saw Zhao Rong was in the company's elevator at night. Zhao Rong came down from the top floor of Qiao Nanqi's office, carrying crumpled clothes and wearing A slightly baggy black shirt with a pale complexion.
She hesitated for a moment, looked left and right to make sure no one was passing by, and then said in a low voice, "I was not the only one who saw that day, but you never came again, and everyone was passing on you..."
Zhao Rong did not stop at all when she packed her things.
He slowly put his little things into the cardboard box, smiled lightly, his peach blossom eyes were slightly curved, like stretched petals, naturally moist with a bit of spring.
He laughed out loud: "It is rumored that Qiao Nanqi slept with me?"
Song Xinxin was caught off guard by his words.
She didn't even know whether she should be surprised that Zhao Rong said that she was slept by another man without any scruples, or should be surprised that Zhao Rong called Qiao Nanqi's full name directly.
She opened her eyes wide and glanced at Zhao Rong. Before her astonished and confused expression faded away, she saw the figure at the door out of the corner of her eye.
At this moment, the entire office fell silent because of the appearance of this figure.
Zhao Rong could naturally feel the sudden weirdness of the atmosphere.
He paused, and turned his head to follow Song Xinxin's gaze, and happened to meet the man's gaze on him.
Apparently it was for him.
Zhao Rong was a little surprised—he used to be at the company every day, and he might not see Qiao Nanqi for a few days, so he came here today.But I didn't expect this person to come by himself now that the agreement was over.
He remembered the news he saw this morning—is there really something in the agreement that requires his cooperation?Or is there something in the family that he didn't take care of?
Or it was about his request for an office just now, maybe the application reached Qiao Nanqi.
Ask Qiao Nanqi later.
Qiao Nanqi remained silent.
The man was leaning slightly against the door. The well-fitting white shirt outlined the muscle lines on his body. The sleeves at the neckline were opened twice, and the collars on both sides were opened to the sides, making his neckline even more slender.
He just stood at the door facing the eyes of all the girls in the office who wanted to look but didn't dare to look more, with one hand in his pocket and the other hand casually turning the phone in his hand, as if he really just happened to pass by.
Young Master Qiao almost had the words "Come here by yourself" tattooed on his face.
Qiao Nanqi is always like this.
He's used to others trying to get close, he doesn't even need to hook his fingers, there are always people following him.
Zhao Rong was the same as those people before.
When I think about it, I feel like black history—like a fool.
But he didn't want to fight against the male lead in the male lead's territory. He sighed silently, and walked in front of Qiao Nanqi past those probing, curious, and speculative gazes.
He raised his head slightly, and looked at Qiao Nanqi as calmly as possible: "Is there something wrong?"
"You come out."
Without waiting for Zhao Rong's answer, he turned around and left.
There was no room for Zhao Rong to refuse or think.
There is no difference from every time before—no, there is a difference, if Qiao Nanqi "actively" came to him like this before, he would enjoy it for three days.
With all eyes on, if Qiao Nanqi really came to him to discuss possible problematic clauses in the marriage agreement, or something that the family didn't sort out clearly, it's really inappropriate to talk about these parents' gossip in front of everyone.
Zhao Rong followed and walked out, feeling that her decision to leave Qiao Nanqi was really wise.
At least in the future, he won't do these useless things where others just wave his hand and go up to him.
Qiao Nanqi led him directly to the safe passage on this floor.
Zhao Rong expressed her understanding—it's better to be quiet when talking about things.
He followed and walked in. As soon as the door of the safe passage was closed, the person in front of him suddenly grabbed his hand and took him into his arms.
There was only one rather dim incandescent lamp in the aisle, which emitted a pale and faint light, which could not clearly illuminate Qiao Nanqi's movements.Zhao Rong was stunned, the man had already grabbed his wrists with one hand and his shoulder with the other, and kissed his upper lip as if declaring his sovereignty.
The faint scent of the man's body enveloped him, and the warm touch came from his lips, but it spread to his lower lip in a short while.
Just now, Zhao Rong's mind was full of matters related to the company and the agreement. At this moment, he was caught off guard, and before he could even react, he was pulled into this person's chest by Qiao Nanqi.
In front of him, Qiao Nanqi was still full of displeasure just now, but at this moment, the man's mood eased instantly.
Zhao Rong turned his face away and raised his hand, "You—"
He paused.
There seemed to be someone approaching outside the door of the safe passage, and the sound of footsteps came from far to near.
I don't know if the visitor will hear the commotion inside or just walk in, Zhao Rong silenced her voice, increased the strength in her hands, and hurriedly pushed Qiao Nanqi away.
The man's expression turned into astonishment, and a rare surprise flashed across his eyes.
Zhao Rong didn't see it.
His attention was not on Qiao Nanqi at all.He held his breath, listening to the footsteps approaching from far away and then slowly going away. After confirming that the person was just passing by and not coming in, he was relieved.
Qiao Nanqi, who had been looking at Zhao Rong, had a full view of Zhao Rong's expression.
It's not that Qiao Nanqi didn't hear the footsteps.
But he didn't want to let go at all.When he came to see Zhao Rong, he was thinking that if Zhao Rong loses his temper because of the Chen family's affairs, he can be merciful, as long as Zhao Rong is the same as before and behaves better.Hearing someone passing by, he thought it was okay to be seen. Didn't Zhao Rong complain to him before that he didn't announce their relationship?
"Don't you want people to see it?" After he uttered this sentence under his breath, he didn't even notice that there was a vague sense of grievance in his tone.
Zhao Rong laughed at his words.
Although he really doesn't want others to see what they were doing just now, isn't it Qiao Nanqi who doesn't want their relationship to be seen?A thief shouting, "Catch a thief" is nothing more than that.
"It's not good to be seen by others," he took a step back, leaving the distance between himself and Qiao Nanqi that normal strangers would have, and continued, "Our marriage agreement is over and we have broken up. I don't want to Be misunderstood."
"You didn't reject me just now."
This is too unfair.
He didn't react at all just now, and then someone approached, and he immediately pushed Qiao Nanqi away. How could he not refuse?
But he didn't want to argue with Qiao Nanqi on such a meaningless and boring topic, so he just looked at Qiao Nanqi suspiciously and said directly: "It's not that I didn't refuse, let alone - no rejection doesn't mean that I'm willing to accept. Before... ...Isn't it the same?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Qiao Nanqi looked straight at him, his eyes darkened, and his eyes dimmed for a moment.
Zhao Rong really couldn't understand.
Acceptance and rejection are possible side by side.
He still knew this truth from Qiao Nanqi. Why did this man look like he was poked into a lung tube?
But these have nothing to do with him.He didn't bother to delve into it.
"By the way, after we finish talking in a while, I have to trouble you to clarify that it doesn't matter what happened in the past, but we have nothing to do with it now and at this moment—it must be made clear."
He answered the words generously in front of Song Xinxin just now because the truth was nothing to hide.
But it was a fact that he had a relationship with Qiao Nanqi before, and it is also a fact that he has no relationship with Qiao Nanqi now.The former he admitted that the current Qiao Nanqi also needs clarification.
"It doesn't matter?" Qiao Nanqi repeated his words.
Zhao Rong was taken aback, not knowing where this person was.
He has moved away, and he is willing to cooperate with the things in the agreement and the things that the family didn't explain clearly.
"We've got nothing to do with each other," he said. "We're not divorced—or, are we?"
Qiao Nanqi looked at Zhao Rong.
Zhao Rong said a few days ago that she liked him.
Today, he said the word "breakup" resolutely and expressionlessly.
This is the third time.
The first time was a silent statement.Zhao Rong didn't say anything, but left his house suddenly and hasn't come back yet.
The second time was the message without any emotion - "I won't go back".
The third time is at this moment, from Zhao Rong's mouth, categorically.
For a moment, his mind was at a loss, but it seemed as if all the arrows were flying, and the world was in chaos.
Qiao Nanqi thought that he would be angry, angry, and walk away indifferently.
But he just stood here, feeling lost.
This time, he suddenly realized.
Zhao Rong was not arguing with him.
Zhao Rong is breaking up with him.
He woke up early in the morning, returned the piles of messages on his phone, searched for the information he needed, and then continued to think about how to get the inheritance left to him by his grandma.
He also tested Lu Xingping a few times. This person is exactly the same as the one described in the original book.
