She messed with me first

After that night, Qi Xi didn't see Meng Qingrang again. She told Zhou Qi all the things related to the decoration, including confirming the design drawings, communicating with the construction team, etc. Occasionally, she needed to deal with it personally, and she had to wait for a long time. There will be a WeChat reply.

The longest one was nearly 20 hours apart.

Qi Xi had guessed the reason for Meng Qingrang's sudden indifference—probably because she rejected her, which made her look ugly, but in such a sudden situation, facing a fairly unfamiliar person, she could only say in a joking tone, " Mr. Meng was joking, even if your words are true, I can't afford to be too high, what else can I say?

Besides, didn't Meng Qingrang simply reply 'OK'?

Is it just superficial harmony?

Qi Xi couldn't be sure.

But having said that, she was willing to let her continue to do the order even if she was rejected. In this regard, Meng Qingrang and Du Mingcheng were completely different. She shouldn't have compared Meng Qingrang and Du Mingcheng at the time.

"Master, where are we going now?" Li Meng asked curiously on the subway.

As soon as the morning meeting ended this morning, Qi Xi asked her to propose a business trip on the OA.

From leaving the company to getting on the subway, Qi Xi kept talking on the phone, she didn't have a chance to ask the reason, and now she finally spoke when she hung up.

Qi Xi put the mobile phone that was a little hot from making calls for a long time into the bag, and explained: "Jinyuan's house has been renovated, and it is inspected today. I have never taken you to the inspection site before, and the owner is not here this time. , don’t be in a hurry, I just took this opportunity to teach you the complete acceptance process.”

"Yeah, thank you, master!" Li Meng nodded happily, thinking of where Jinyuan was, she said in surprise, "Is it that Miss Meng's house?"

Qi Xi, "Yes."

Li Meng was dumbfounded, "It's so fast, isn't it only 20 days in total? I've never seen anyone decorate so quickly."

Qi Xi also found it unbelievable at first, but later when he archived the materials and wrote the README list, he finally figured out the reason. With Meng Qingrang's worth, the decoration team hired must be the best. In addition, Zhou Qi is a real 'prodigal son', there is no process at all in the selection of materials, from the beginning to the end, it is like possessing a repeater, and every time it is the same sentence, "Which one is more expensive to choose."

At first, Qi Xi would patiently compare the pros and cons to him, telling him that the expensive one might not be the most suitable one, but later she turned into directly telling him the result.

Regarding the results given by Qi Xi, regardless of high or low, Zhou Qi will agree with them all.

So strictly speaking, this part alone can save about ten days.

Finally, and the most important point, although Meng Qingrang’s house is big, there is basically no need to change the hard decoration. is a reasonable time.

"Master, are you here?" Li Meng asked Qi Xi when she heard the news station.

Qi Xi looked up at the site map, pulled up the shoulder strap of the backpack and said, "Well, we're here."

After the two got out of the subway, they swept the shared bicycles again, and finally arrived at Meng Qingrang's house after riding for about 10 minutes.

The door was the same as when Qi Xi first came, it was wide open, and no human voice could be heard.

Qi Xi led Li Meng in, and his searching eyes slowly swept across the living room.

"Sister Qi Xi, come here." Zhou Qi popped his head out of the bathroom without warning, and Li Meng screamed in fright, and hid behind Qi Xi.

Zhou Qi didn't expect that there was a third person, so he hurriedly pulled his clothes and came out, smiling brightly, "Sister Qi Xi, did you bring someone here?"

Qi Xi smiled and patted Li Meng's hand on her shoulder to let her relax, "This is a colleague from my company. She just graduated. Today I will take her to see the acceptance process and gain some experience."

"Oh, hello." Zhou Qi turned sideways and greeted Li Meng with a smile. Seeing her nervous face, the smile disappeared, and he said blankly, "You look so cute."

"!" Li Meng's face turned red in an instant, and there was a grievance in her young and clear eyes that she was molested.

During the renovation period, Qi Xi and Zhou Qi had a lot of contact, and they roughly understood that he was a child who had not changed his mind and spoke freely, but all of them had no intentions, no malicious intentions, and no perverted intentions. To be honest, with the lessons learned from Du Mingcheng, Li Meng was somewhat resistant. Furthermore, young girls are thin-skinned, and sometimes they are praised rather than scolded.

Qi Xi was afraid that Zhou Qi would stare at Li Meng and cry, so she reminded him at the right time, "Okay, don't keep staring at the girl, how does the house look?"

Zhou Qi said "oh", looked away, and said confidently: "I didn't see it, it's you. If you say OK, I will report it to my sister directly."

Qi Xi wants to change her name to Suffocation.

In the past orders, even if the owner was more assured of her, she would give some advice from time to time, for fear that outsiders like them would miss something. This order... From the design plan to the final acceptance, she didn't have to say "almost" conservatively, it could It is absolutely certain that she is making up her own mind.

To be honest, she is lucky to meet this kind of owner, because there are few things that need to be discussed, and she does not have to be tortured like other colleagues to be on the verge of changing careers all day long, but sometimes when she thinks about it, she feels light , I always feel that something is not practical.

Perhaps it would be better for Meng Qingrang not to say that strange sentence.

"Sister Qi Xi?" Zhou Qi waved his paw in front of Qi Xi who was distracted, and when she came back to her senses, she hurriedly said, "I was halfway in the toilet just now, and I have to go back to continue. You greet yourself."

Qi Xi smiled happily, "You should pay more attention to your image."

Zhou Qi, "The image is for outsiders to see. You are my sister, so you don't need it."

After finishing speaking, Zhou Qi ran to the bathroom in a hurry.

Qi Xi shook his head with a smile, took out the acceptance form and began to do preliminary inspection.

When the project supervisor and the person in charge of construction came over, the three of them made a final confirmation on the material design and process quality—all qualified.

"Great." Zhou Qi threw himself on the sofa in relief, and said with a sigh, "The final exam is about to take place. If it drags on for a few more days, I'm really going to lose my job."

Qi Xi was explaining to Li Meng the points that should be paid special attention to during the acceptance inspection. Hearing this, he asked amusedly, "Are you still afraid of the exam? Didn't you return to the first place?"

"Number one is useless." Zhou Qi sat up and said with a downcast expression, "Compared to my sister, I'm still far behind. I'm doomed to live in her shadow for the rest of my life."

Qi Xi closed the acceptance form, passed it to Li Meng, and asked her to check the items on the list again, then sat on the sofa and became a confidant big sister. However, when you have achieved something in your field, it is time for you to shine."

"Do you think I can do it?" Zhou Qi was frustrated.

Qi Xi suppressed a smile all over his face, "Aren't men very resistant to being told you can't do it?"

"Yes!" Zhou Qi regained his energy in a second, Ma Liu stood up, and said arrogantly, "Sister Qi Xi, I'm back to school, I will leave the matter here to you, remember to report to my sister for acceptance result!"

"Oh, you...Zhou Qi?!" Qi Xi chased after him, but was still slipped away by Zhou Qi.

Qi Xi looked at his back as if fleeing for his life, and couldn't laugh or cry for a moment.

Whose business is it to decorate the house?

Having said that, after Zhou Qi left, Qi Xi picked up his phone and found Meng Qingrang's WeChat.

She picked out the videos taken during the inspection and acceptance process, sent them to Meng Qingrang, and then left a message to her: [Mr. Meng, the house has been renovated, see if there is anything you are not satisfied with. 】

Her wechat message was still silent, and it was not until two o'clock in the afternoon, after the lunch break, that she suddenly received a reply from Meng Qingrang.

She asked her: [Is it convenient for video? 】

Qi Xi had just woken up, and her mind was still a little confused. She looked at Meng Qingrang's reply coldly for a while, pulled the keyboard, and typed slowly: [Convenience. 】

Almost at the same time she went back, Meng Qingrang's video invitation was sent over.

Qi Xi dug out the earphones from the drawer, quickly left the office, and went to the public rest area outside.

The video was switched on, and the screen was completely black.

Qi Xi thought it was stuck, so she instinctively raised the phone and said to herself, "The signal is not good?"

After the words fell, a very soft laugh came from the earphones, a little hoarse, but it didn't affect its softness.

Qi Xi didn't speak, she pursed her lips, lowered her phone, and waited for the owner of the voice to appear - first a warm light, and then the picture flashed past the woman's slender neck, down, one side of the pajamas shoulder The belt slipped off, revealing a large swath of dazzling white.

Qi Xi looked away, leaned over the guardrail, and looked at the bustling street scene in the distance.

"Sorry." Meng Qingrang opened the topic with these two words, "I'm in New York, jet lag, and I just saw your WeChat after waking up to drink water."

So this is ah.

It was about half past eleven when she sent the WeChat message, and she should have rested at this point.

Qi Xi withdrew her gaze from far away, and looked down at Meng Qingrang on the screen.

She leaned against the head of the bed, and the warm light fell from above her head, casting a hazy light on her body.

"It's okay." Qi Xi said, "The video I sent is only partial, and the details will be confirmed after you come back."

"Okay, I'll go back as soon as possible." Meng Qingrang said.

Qi Xi wanted to say that she was not in a hurry, but when the words came to her lips, she forcibly suppressed them, and asked her, "Are you sick again?"

"Huh?" Meng Qing asked with a smile, "I look so weak?"

"No." Qi Xi nodded her throat and explained, "Your voice sounds wrong."

"Really?" On the other end, Meng Qingrang raised his hand to touch his throat.

When doing this action, she raised her chin slightly, and pulled down the mobile phone she was holding.

From this angle, you can clearly see her tight jawline.

"Maybe I haven't had a good rest recently." Meng Qingrang said, "There have been too many things during this time, and I feel that I only sleep for four or five hours a day. It's a luxury. Today, the dust finally settled and I went to bed early. I didn't expect to miss you gone."

Is to miss her information.

Qi Xi said heartily.

Now she absolutely believes that when Zhou Qi was chatting with her, he broke the news about Meng Qingrang's words - my sister was thrown abroad as soon as she graduated from junior high school, and didn't come back until she graduated from university.After staying abroad for so many years, it is normal to not understand Chinese grammar, so she will not reveal her shortcoming.

"Then I won't bother you anymore, get some rest." Qi Xi said.

Meng Qingrang, "Well, I should go back on Friday and find you then."

Qi Xi, "Okay."

The two of them didn't have any extra words.

Meng Qingrang hung up first.

It took a few seconds for Qi Xi to take off the headset and hold it in his hand, wondering: So, what did they talk about on the phone?

----

At the regular meeting on Friday, Qi Xi reported the progress of Meng Qingrang's case alone.

In the beginning, everyone didn’t pay much attention to this case, thinking that it was the same as before, it was just a decoration of an ordinary house. One day Zheng Youling, in order to stimulate Yu Hai, said in front of everyone in the office that Qi Xi only got the Jinyuan house. After all, it is done. This is their company's first high-end residential success story. It will be used for publicity in the future, and it will also be very beneficial to the company's business expansion. Therefore, as the general manager, Li Shu, no matter how much he prefers it in private 'Yu Hai, we should try our best to be self-restraining and fair in this matter.

"In this way, no one is allowed to ask for leave tonight, and all the staff will celebrate Qi Xi." Li Shu turned her gaze to the executive Xiaolin, and told her, "Find a place where you can eat and play. Tonight, everyone will play openly. I treat you."

After Li Shu finished speaking, the four cheered, but Qi Xi, who was the protagonist, didn't respond.

Seeing it from the side, Zheng Youling bumped her elbow and said in a low voice, "I'm congratulating you, should you be more enthusiastic?"

Qi Xi sat upright, and her speech was full of routines, "I can't be enthusiastic, and I can't help but feel distressed when I think about spending the company's money again."

Zheng Youling, "...do you believe me?"

At 6:30 in the evening, Youshang and his party of 28 people came to a party hall not far from the company. The environment here is good, and there are a lot of items to play. Most importantly, the cost is low, which is very suitable for small company parties.

When everyone arrives, the meals are basically prepared and ready to eat.

As the leader, Li Shu usually speaks before using chopsticks.

According to her usual experience, she started speaking for at least 5 minutes, who knew that today she would just say, "Don't toast me today, Qi Xi is the protagonist, let her drink well."

Therefore, in the next few hours, the wine in Qi Xi's glass was not dried.

It was about nine o'clock, and everyone was having fun playing games.

Li Shu stood up suddenly and said: "I'll leave first, the child is not at ease at home alone. You continue to play."

Yu Hai stood up, "I'll see you off."

Li Shu, "OK."

The two left under the watchful eyes of everyone.

Walking out of the box, Li Shu's smile that had been maintained all night suddenly disappeared, and she lowered her voice and said to Hai: "All ready?"

Yu Hai looked gloomy, "Don't worry, after tonight, she promises to be more obedient than a dog."

"Don't go too far, just make sure she doesn't reveal our affairs." Li Shu urged.

After the relationship between her and Yu Hai was accidentally exposed in the garage, she was always uneasy, because it was not only about a divorced woman messing around with her subordinates, but also the notoriety of derailment within marriage that caused the family to break up.

After several discussions, she asked someone to check the surveillance in the garage, and found that the co-driver was actually Qi Xi, and Zheng Youling on the other side was not photographed because of the angle.

Just in case, Li Shu decided to act preemptively and leave Qi Xi's handle, letting her rot into her stomach what she saw.

So, what would be the biggest excuse for a woman?

Nothing but fame and innocence.

At the airport, assistant Zhou Mai pushed the luggage of the two, and reported to Meng Qingrang about the next work, "Mr. Huang and the others are waiting for you to have a meeting at the company to confirm the theme of the ready-to-wear series for the next season; Mrs. Chen, we have been pressing She was dissatisfied with our approach and threatened to expose our store on the Internet to deceive others."

"She can do whatever she wants, and the design cannot be changed." Meng Qingrang was firm.

Design is the embodiment of the soul of a work, and it is the direct expression of the designer's ideas and attitudes. It is a complete thing in itself, and it is not even close to it. How to persist?It is impossible for her to send a nondescript dress from T&F, neither she nor T&F can afford to lose this person.

"Okay." Zhou Mai took the order, "Then let's go directly back to the company to find Mr. Huang and the others?"

Meng Qingrang, "Yes."

The two walked quickly towards the parking lot.

Sitting in the car, Meng Qingrang remembered what he said to Qi Xi in the video before.

She took out her mobile phone and asked Qi Xi on WeChat: 【Are you free on the weekend?I'm back. 】

There was no reply from Qi Xi for a long time.

This has never happened in the previous communication.

Meng Qingrang sat in the back seat, crossed his legs, propped one arm on the center armrest, put his fingers against the side of his face, and turned his phone thoughtfully.

Ten minutes later, she called Qi Xi.

It was a strange female voice who answered the phone. It was very young and sounded familiar, "Hello, this is my master's cell phone. She is not here now. When she comes back, can I ask her to call you back?"

Meng Qingrang quickly remembered who it was, and asked her, "Where is your master?"

Li Meng, "She went to the bathroom."

When Li Meng was talking, someone nearby was booing and fighting for a drink. When I saw him, someone mentioned Qi Xi, asking if she had gone to the toilet to hide from the drink.

The voices of several people were very vague, but the car was too quiet, Meng Qingrang could still distinguish clearly.

"How much did your master drink?" Meng Qingrang asked.

Li Meng felt distressed, "A lot, I vomited twice."

"Why is no one blocking it?"

"Master has just finished a Jinyuan case. This is our company's first high-end residence. It's too special to stop."

"..." Meng Qingrang frowned, it turned out that Qi Xi's troubles were caused by her.

Meng Qingrang sat up and asked in a deep voice, "Where are you?"

Li Meng thought about it and reported a position.

After hanging up the phone, Meng Qingrang held the phone and said to Zhou Mai with a serious expression: "The meeting will be postponed to nine o'clock tomorrow morning, now go to Chongyuan Road."
