Going to work on Monday, Qi Xi's face is rarely expressionless.

Zheng Youling was the first to notice something was wrong, so he pulled her to a place where no one was around and asked, "What's wrong? Are you in a bad mood?"

Originally, Qi Xi was too lazy to talk about the nasty things about Li Shu and Yu Hai, but after thinking about it, she was afraid that Zheng Youling would not know anything and was still counting the money when she was sold, so she briefly mentioned a few words, telling her to be careful in the future point.

After Zheng Youling heard it, the three views were shattered into scum, "People can be so bad. You should have told me that day in the garage, and I kicked the gas pedal right into it! I was so mad!"

"It's a collision, we both have to be detained by the police." Qi Xi deliberately gave Zheng Youling the same hair as glutinous rice balls, and said with a smile, "Am I okay?"

Zheng Youling slapped her paw away, and said angrily, "That's because you were lucky. Oh, by the way, how did you get away from drinking like that?"

Qi Xi rubbed her wrist with her hand, and said slowly, "A friend happened to be there."

"It's okay, okay." Zheng Youling felt lingering fears. Thinking of the disgusting things Yu Hai had done, he spat in disgust and said mockingly, "I don't understand. Yu Hai wants to have no looks, no ability, even height. He's almost crippled, so why does Li Shu see him?"

Qi Xi thought for a while, "Maybe the aesthetics of ugly people are very similar."

Zheng Youling, "..." Can you be more tactful when hurting others?

"I don't tell Yingying about this in advance. She spends most of her time out, so she won't have any confrontation with Yu Hai. Talking about it will make her feel uncomfortable." Qi Xi reminded.

Zheng Youling made a 'huh' sound and asked her, "What are you going to do? Let's just leave it at that?"

Qi Xi leaned against the wall with a particularly indifferent expression, "I won't let this go on forever."

----

At ten o'clock in the morning, Li Shu came to the company in a hurry.

She entered the office with her front foot, and Xiao Lin came to Qixi's work station to look for her, "Sister Xixi, Mr. Li is looking for you."

Qi Xi was drawing a picture, when she heard this, she raised her head and looked in the direction of Li Shu's office.

It just so happened that she was looking this way too.

When their eyes met, Li Shu was obviously a little flustered.

"Okay, I'll be there right away." Qi Xi saved the picture, locked the screen, and went to Li Shu's office with a notebook and pencil.

Li Shu was sitting behind the desk, even though she tried her best to restrain herself at the moment, she still couldn't hide her anxiety.

Seeing Qi Xi come in, Li Shu smiled unnaturally and said, "Sit."

Qi Xi was not polite at all, sat down but didn't act like usual, and asked Li Shu what she wanted for her. Instead, she lowered her eyes, opened a new page of the notebook in a leisurely manner, and wrote on the date.

Li Shu was left hanging, with anger visible on her face, remembering what Yu Hai said in a hurry last night, she had to hold back her temper, and opened the topic in a friendly manner, "Qi Xi, I heard you drank too much last night, are you okay?"

Qi Xi raised his eyes, and quickly spun the red pencil around the thin white fingertips, "Mr. Li hopes that I'm fine, or is it fine?"

Li Shu's face froze, her tone became blunt, "You are the most experienced designer in our company, of course I wish you well."

"Really?" Qi Xi asked back, the more ambiguous her attitude became, the more confused Li Shu felt, and when she said it clearly, Li Shu calmed down instead.

"Mr. Li, you should know the content of the contract that Mr. Li gave me - I will only work here until I am 30 years old at Youshang. I am 30 this year, and it will be more than a year before I turn 28." Time, there is no need to cause trouble at this juncture, what do you think?" Qi Xi asked with a smile, seeing a reassuring expression on Li Shu's face, the smile faded, and he added, "Although some things are really disgusting."

"Qi Xi!" Li Shu slapped the table angrily, "Be careful with what you say!"

Qi Xi smiled noncommittally, and said calmly: "If you are looking for me only for the matter with Yu Hai, don't worry, Mr. Li won't know anything, as for other things..." Qi Xi paused Next, raise your eyes, "You should be glad that nothing happened last night."

In fact, her tone didn't change much, it was still casual and a little loose as usual, but when her voice sank, the whole feeling was different.

Li Shu inexplicably felt a chill down her spine, and hurriedly said: "This is all Yu Hai's attention, I only found out afterwards!"

Qi Xi smiled lightly, not knowing whether she believed it or not, she closed her notebook, stood up and said, "President Li, it's nothing, I'm going to work first."

Li Shu hesitated to speak, but seeing the overly calm expression on Qi Xi's face, she choked back her words and returned to normal, "Go, the end of the year will be over soon, and the work in hand will be finished as soon as possible, and don't delay until next year."

Qi Xi raised her hand and tapped the notebook lightly on her shoulder, "Okay."

----

The days after that were the same, Qi Xi did the company's work during the day, and worked overtime at night to take care of her own work, and her life was boring and tight.

On the other hand, Yu Hai, who is at the same level, either goes out to drink with clients every day, or sits at his desk and makes phone calls to collect money. Zheng Youling complained behind his back more than once, "The design is made up of ready-made pictures, and it's too easy to get money like this." .”

Qi Xi often laughs it off, as long as Yu Hai and Li Shu don't trouble her, she doesn't mind staying with them temporarily, but Yu Hai has the ability to let her just sit idly by.

On this day, Yu Hai received an old couple who were over 70 years old.

The two knew each other and fell in love with each other in their early 20s, and they became husband and wife. It has been nearly 50 years in a blink of an eye. Next year will be the year of their golden wedding, so they want to decorate a house to commemorate this hard-won relationship.

Helpless, the two have been teaching and educating people for a lifetime, and they have nothing to do. Most of their savings are used to repay the loan, and they have almost no savings.

……

"Grandpa and aunt, it's not that I speak badly. Decoration is really not a matter of saving money. You two, if you don't have money, don't slap your face swollen and pretend to be fat. How romantic are you like young people?" Yu Haigao said With their legs crossed, what they said made the two old people extremely embarrassed.

Grandma probably hasn't suffered any grievances, her eyes are full of embarrassment, and her words are still gentle and polite, "We just want to clean up simply."

Yu Hai saw that the two were easy to bully, and his attitude became more and more reckless, "Hey, what are you talking about, where did the decoration come from? If you really want to clean it up simply, it's not a loss to hire a housekeeper for two or three hundred."

On the side, seeing his wife feeling uncomfortable, the grandfather held her hand, smiled kindly, and said, "Why don't you just listen to this teacher and clean it up? The old house has lived in it for a lifetime, but it suddenly changed. Maybe not used to it yet."

Grandma remained silent, looking back at grandpa with disappointment in her eyes.

Grandpa squeezed her hand, stood up with her, and said politely, "Excuse me."

Yu Hai didn't respond, and got up and left nonchalantly.

Turning his gaze around, he bumped into Qi Xi directly.

There was almost no warmth in Qi Xi's casual eyes. She just glanced at Yu Hai and then looked away. She went straight to the two old people, picked up the badge in front of her, and introduced herself, "Hello, I'm Qi Xi, the designer. You can call me Xiaoqi. If you have any needs, you may wish to tell me, simple is just what I am good at."

When the two heard this, they immediately showed joy.

Grandma couldn't help but stepped forward, and said nervously and anxiously: "Our house is 120 square meters, and the budget is not much, only [-], is it okay?"

Qi Xi smiled, "Yes."

In the next hour, Qi Xi listened carefully to every need of the two elders, and put forward suitable decoration suggestions. Occasionally, he would half squat and half kneel beside them, showing them some past design effects, so that they would feel at ease. end.

When it was over, Qi Xi sent the two of them out.

While waiting for the elevator, Grandpa went to the bathroom.

Taking advantage of his absence, grandma took Qi Xi's hand and said gratefully, "Girl, thank you. In fact, before we came here, we had already found several decoration companies. They thought our budget was too small and we didn't make money. You You are the only one who is willing to take orders and is so patient, thank you very much.”

"You're being polite." Qi Xi didn't think there was anything wrong, "This is my job."

"It's different." Grandma shook her head, seeing clearly, "You are trying to help us."

Qi Xi smiled and said nothing, which was a tacit consent.

Grandma looked back at the direction of the bathroom, saw that the person waiting had not come out, and said in a low voice: "If possible, I don't want to bother you, but when you get old, your body can't help itself. My old man was diagnosed with memory disorders last week. Obstacles, as you often hear about Alzheimer's. I want to spend a good wedding anniversary with him before he forgets me."

Qi Xi was surprised, her breath froze for a few seconds, and her voice sank, "Don't worry, I will definitely make a plan as soon as possible."

"Don't worry, I just want to tell you that money is not a problem. He has secretly saved me a pension over the years. There is a small hundred thousand. When the house is finished, you calculate it according to the actual cost. The money will be withdrawn for you, I can’t let you lose money, I just need your help—don’t let my old man know about it.”

"It won't be a loss." Qi Xi's tone was firm. It was good that she would accept the order because it was helpful, but she didn't have the heart of the Virgin to flood herself to a disadvantage. "I can offer a price of less than [-]. It must be because of this renovation. It’s worth so much money, you don’t need to touch your pension money.”

Grandma's eyes stopped, and she smiled more gently, "Okay, then please take care of me."

Qi Xi, "It should."

----

Qi Xi stayed up until two o'clock that night, and finished the first version of the plan after get off work the next day. She didn't want to waste time, so she rushed to the two elderly people's homes without stopping to modify the details on the spot.

When the plan was finalized to leave, it was almost eleven o'clock - the direct bus was out of service, taxis were too expensive, and there was only one special line that passed through the subway station and the last one.

Qi Xi wrapped her coat tightly and stood in the cold wind waiting for the car.

It's relatively remote here, and it's too late, after more than ten minutes, there is still only her alone at the bus stop.

Feet are too cold.

Qi Xi stomped on the spot, baring her teeth in pain.

The tone didn't slow down, and a car suddenly stopped in front of him.

It was black, and the car window was slowly lowering, and then, a familiar gentle smiling face appeared in Qi Xi's field of vision.

"I thought I was wrong, but I didn't expect it to be you." Meng Qingrang laughed.

Qi Xi was stunned for a moment, walked over, bent over and talked to her, "Mr. Meng, why are you here?"

"Passing by." Meng Qingrang said, "Are you waiting for the bus? It's not easy to wait at this time, come up, I'll pick you up."

Qi Xi thought about it, and it's okay, if it's later, she won't be able to get on the subway.

"I'm sorry to trouble you." Qi Xi said, "When you enter the third ring road, there is a subway station. Put me there."

Meng Qingrang, "It's okay, let's talk first."

Qi Xi quickly got into the car.

Meng Qing asked to turn on the air conditioner, and then turned the air outlet under the central control panel towards her, before asking, "It's so late, what are you doing here alone?"

Qi Xi, "There is a client whose home is in the back neighborhood, come over to confirm the plan."

Meng Qingrang, "Yes."

The car re-entered the main road.

The two chatted without saying a word.

Mostly it was Meng Qingrang who asked the question, and Qi Xi responded politely, noticing that her reply was getting shorter and shorter, Meng Qingrang turned his head to look.

Well, people are fast asleep.

Meng Qingrang felt dumbfounded for a moment, but in his impression, only Zhou Qi dared to sleep soundly in front of her, and the others...

"Qi Xi, you are really not afraid of me anymore." Meng Qingrang said to himself.

Qi Xi didn't hear clearly, and asked her with the remaining consciousness, "What?"

Meng Qingrang looked at the elevated third ring road in front of him, and said, "It's nothing, it's still a while away from the third ring road, sleep for a while."

Qi Xi, "...um."

No matter how conscious he is, Qi Xi only feels backache and backache. He closed his eyes and stretched out his hand to the side. What he touched was not the water glass on the bedside table, but a pair of soft lips. Upward, the hot and humid breath was slowly hitting the master's regular breathing. Qi Xi's fingertips.

Qi Xi was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly opened his eyes.

Meng Qingrang also woke up, tilted her head, met her surprised eyes with a smile, and said, "I'm awake."
