She messed with me first

As soon as he went to work the next day, Qi Xi asked the management Xiaolin for help and asked about the parking spaces of the property management. The response from the property management was, "The number of parking spaces is based on the ratio approved by the company's size. Your company has a small number of people, so you can only give five parking spaces. Later, Zheng Youling was added because of your face, so don't embarrass me anymore, this time I really can't be added."

Qi Xi had no choice but to walk a few more steps every day and park the car in the public parking space on the road behind the park.

At the end of the regular meeting in the morning, Qi Xi asked Li Meng to send over the list of construction teams that he had sorted out, and called one by one for consultation and negotiation, hoping to find a reliable construction team to take over the work of the two elderly people.

I didn't want to be busy until lunch and there was no result.

The high-cost one couldn't afford it, and the low-cost construction period couldn't be arranged. The only one who was suitable for both sides asked her awkwardly if she could live on the construction site, saying that it was too expensive to rent a house outside.

"Hey, I really understood the phrase 'The world is not a pure land, each has its own suffering'." Zheng Youling sighed, "Why don't you arrange it? The decoration is not like a construction site, it's okay to live with a few people."

Qi Xi, "I've asked, but it's not possible. During the renovation period, the head of the household is also living at home, so it's inconvenient."

"Then it's all right. Oh, right, New Year's Day is coming soon, are you going home?" Zheng Youling asked.

When Qi Xi heard the word 'go home', he tightened his hand holding the chopsticks, and then spoke in a lower voice, "Hui."

"Well, I was thinking of asking you to hang out with me."

"Next time."

"it's the only way."

"..."

After the meal, Zheng Youling took the yoga mat and went to the meeting room to rest, while Qi Xi was lying on the table.

Posture problem, she has always been a very light sleeper, and she can even hear the slight sound from the earphones thrown aside.

Qi Xi sat up and unlocked the computer lightly.

In the taskbar, the WeChat icon is flashing regularly.

Qi Xi opened it casually, and it was a message from Meng Qingrang: 【Is the construction team confirmed? 】

Qi Xi: [Not yet, there are relatively few who are suitable in all aspects. 】

Meng Qingrang: [Yes. 】

After answering the ambiguous word 'um', Meng Qingrang didn't respond for a long time, and Qi Xi didn't care, just thought she was just chatting.

However, with such an interruption, she completely lost sleepiness, closed the dialog box, and continued to screen possible construction teams.

Seeing the fifth one, the WeChat icon flashed again.

Meng Qingrang pushed her a WeChat business card incessantly.

Qi Xi didn't see the name from the nickname, so he tentatively asked: [Wrong post? 】

Meng Qingrang: [That's right. 】

Meng Qingrang: [This is He Yan, the assistant of a friend of mine. Their company has a business involving decoration, and the scale is not bad, and they have their own construction team. 】

Meng Qingrang: [The end of the year is coming soon, they won't undertake too big projects, let me introduce some short-term projects to pass the time, I will think of you first.You can add her on WeChat to chat about your needs, and if it's appropriate, they will earn you a little less for my sake. 】

Meng Qingrang's words were thoughtful and the timing was right, so Qi Xi didn't shirk, and said gratefully: [Whether it works or not, I will thank you on behalf of the two old people. 】

Meng Qingrang: [What about you? 】

Qi Xi was taken aback for a moment, and replied to her: 【Take you to dinner another day. 】

Meng Qingrang: [When will it change? 】

Qi Xi: [After New Year's Day, is it convenient?busy recently. 】

Meng Qingrang: [It's convenient, I just happened to be on a business trip recently, and I won't be able to go back in a short time. 】

After chatting with Meng Qingrang, Qi Xi immediately added He Yan on WeChat.

A few seconds after the friend request was sent, she received a reply: [Ms. Qi, hello, I am He Yan, the chief assistant of Fanshi Creative Construction Department.Mr. Meng has roughly talked about your situation. I wonder if it is convenient for you to email me a design plan so that we can provide you with a quotation. 】

Qi Xi stared blankly at the freshly poured hot water.

Fanshi creative?

Was it the Fanshi idea she knew?

The top architectural design company in China, with many masters from all walks of life, has produced many classic designs that are well-known both at home and abroad. It is a career hall that many designers yearn for. In addition, the construction department under Fanshi is also one of the best.

This construction team of thousands of people has undertaken the construction tasks of many large-scale projects such as the concert hall of the National Museum of Fine Arts.

Letting these people come to turn her design into reality was what she wanted even in her dreams, but if this fan stone was the one she knew, the [-] budget would not even be enough.

After deliberating for a long time, Qi Xi still had a chance and asked He Yan: [Which fan stone idea are you talking about? 】

He Yan directly replied to her with a list of company website addresses.

Qi Xi let out a breath, and gently opened it.

Original and correct.

Qi Xi's eyes lit up with excitement.

She thought how many years she would have to wait before she could cooperate with a company like Fanshi, but she didn't expect that the opportunity would suddenly come to her, like a dream.

After waking up from the dream, we still have to face reality first.

……

Qi Xi glanced at the shocking real scene pictures on Fanshi's webpage, closed the webpage reluctantly, and declined He Yan: [Don't bother you, our budget is relatively small. 】

He Yan: [You don't have to worry about the cost. 】

He Yan: [Mr. Meng told us from the very beginning that your budget is limited, so we will arrange junior workers for you. This level is the apprentices being trained inside Fanshi, and there will not be much difference from the general quotation in the market. 】

He Yan: [Of course, you can be absolutely assured of the quality. 】

How can Qi Xi be worried, even if she is an apprentice, she is one of the best in a thousand, she knows this too well.

Qi Xi looked at the screen, something was slowly flowing in his heart.

The matter of the construction team was nothing more than a few gossips she said in front of Meng Qingrang, but she could remember it until now, and it was so meticulously arranged quietly.

"Ah."

Thinking of what Meng Qingrang said in WeChat just now, Qi Xi couldn't help laughing.

What friend, what fanshi asked her to introduce a job, lied and didn't even bat an eye.

If even a company like Fanshi had to take the initiative to find work, the sky in their circle would have collapsed long ago.

She would say that, but she was afraid that she would have a psychological burden and felt that she owed her.

But... She really wanted to owe this favor.

Qi Xi pursed her lips without any hesitation: [Wait a moment, I'll sort out the information right away. 】

He Yan: [Okay. 】

Qi Xi quickly opened the plan and design drawings, and after repeated confirmation, they packaged and sent them to He Yan.

For the whole afternoon after that, Qi Xi was so restless that he couldn't sit still.

Near the end of get off work, she finally received a quotation from He Yan, which was almost equal to the budget.

----

Going home in the evening, Qi Xi rarely had time and was in a good mood, so he personally led the glutinous rice balls to a nearby park for a walk.

During the process, she kept holding the phone, turning on the screen from time to time, staring blankly for a while, and then put it back into her pocket.

After repeating it dozens of times, even the glutinous rice balls could sense her absent-mindedness.

Tangyuan was disappointed, she drooped her head, and pulled her home with the leash around her neck.

It was already eleven o'clock in the evening when I packed up and went to bed.

Qi Xi tossed and turned, without any sleepiness.

Seeing that the time jumped to 12 o'clock, Qi Xi still couldn't hold back, and sent Meng Qingrang a WeChat message after touching the phone that had been tossing all night: [When are you coming back? 】

Meng Qingrang replied almost instantly: [? 】

Qi Xi didn't say the words of thanks that were already rotten in his stomach, but only said: [The matter of the construction team has been discussed today.I asked you when you would come back because I wanted to arrange a time in advance to treat you to dinner as a token of my gratitude. 】

Meng Qingrang: [So that's the case, I almost thought too much just now. 】

Think too much?What more?

Qi Xi huddled under the blanket, a vague answer flashed through his mind.

Before it was caught, Meng Qingrang said again: 【If all goes well, one or two days before the festival. 】

Qi Xi's thoughts were interrupted, she didn't continue to think, and replied carefully: [Okay, then I will contact you when you come back. 】

Meng Qingrang: [Well, go to bed early, good night. 】

Qi Xi: 【Good night. 】

Putting down the phone, Qi Xi seemed to have put down a major event, and sleepiness rushed over her face.

Before she completely lost consciousness, she thought: So besides her parents, Tang Jia, there is another person who is willing to take a word she said casually to heart.This person's name is Meng Qingrang.

----

For a while later, whenever Qi Xi had time, he would go to the construction site to stay, not for anything else, but simply felt that watching the 'regular army' work was a kind of enjoyment.

Soon it was two days before the Gregorian New Year, and no matter what, the two elderly people wanted to invite Qi Xi to a home-cooked meal to thank her for her hard work during this time.

Qi Xi couldn't evade it, so she stayed.

At the dinner table, the two old men were so enthusiastic that Qi Xi could hardly hold back.

"Xiao Qi, are you a local?" Grandma asked.

Qi Xi was worrying about the 'small mountain' in the bowl, when he heard the sound, he put down his chopsticks and said, "No, my home is in the city next door."

"It's not far away, less than three hours by car, right?"

"Well, my home is at the southernmost point, so it can be closer."

"Okay, okay, eat your food quickly."

After the two old people retired, it was Teacher's Day that the family could be more lively. Usually it was deserted, but today it was rare that there was a third person, and the chatterbox couldn't be stopped. I couldn't stop mentioning the past, and finally even turned out the graduation photos of the students over the years.

Qi Xi listened carefully all the time, and didn't show any impatience on even trivial topics. On the contrary, when grandpa looked up and realized that it was late, he quickly reminded his wife, "It's ten o'clock, if you continue talking, Xiao Qi doesn't have to go back. home."

Grandma realized it later, and said apologetically, "Xiao Qi, I'm sorry to let you listen to me nagging all night."

Qi Xi smiled, and closed the photo album on her lap, "No, my parents are also teachers, and I have liked listening to them talk about school since I was a child." It is precisely because of this that she looks down on Yu Hai. Two elderly people stood up to take their order.

When grandma heard this, she immediately beamed with joy, "Really? What do you teach? Judging by your age, they shouldn't have retired yet, right?"

"My dad taught high school physics, and he hasn't left yet. My mother..." Qi Xi paused when he mentioned his mother, and then said, "Teach junior high school art."

"One civil and one military, it's okay, okay." Grandma smiled from ear to ear, turned to grandpa and said, "Go and get the box of tea I brought back last month, and let Xiao Qi take it home for you." Her parents."

Qi Xi hastily refused, "No, there are at home."

"It's not the same. This is authentic Tibetan tea, which nourishes the stomach." Grandma said firmly, "When I was a teacher, I knew how to worry about the students, but my family and myself can't care about it. The whole body is ruined. You must bring this tea with you." , just take it as a little favor from your grandfather and I to our colleagues."

Speaking of this, Qi Xi couldn't refuse anymore, and took the initiative to replace the grandfather who was about to climb the stool, and went to the top of the cabinet to get tea.

There is a photo frame next to the tea box, and there is a group photo of three people in it - the two elders are sitting, and a young man is standing behind them.

"That's our son." Grandma took the initiative to speak, her voice was deep and full of disappointment, "I have been abroad for five or six years, let alone come back, and I can't even answer a few calls all year round. I really don't know what to raise him for half my life. "

Qi Xi came down with the tea box and comforted grandma, "Young people are career-minded."

"That's why you can't go home." Grandma held Qi Xi's hand and said earnestly, "If you have time, you must go home and visit your parents more. People, the older you are, the more you will love your family The heavier it is, don't let them wait for you. Hey, why am I telling you this, you are a good girl, and you are different from my son."

When Qi Xi heard grandma's last words, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and her breathing stopped for a moment.

With friends and colleagues, she may be fine.

To her parents...how can she be considered a good girl...

Qi Xi lowered her eyes and smiled, and said, "Okay."

----

Back at the residence, Qi Xi simply packed his luggage.

She bought a ticket for tomorrow night, and planned to go directly to the train station from the company after get off work.

Worrying about going back suddenly, the parents were not prepared and would cause trouble for them instead. Before going to bed, Qi Xi found out his father Qi Yongzhi's WeChat account and sent him a message explaining: [Dad, I will go home tomorrow, New Year's Day holidays day off. 】

This message was sent out for a long time, but Qi Xi did not receive a reply.

She didn't find it strange, it was almost twelve o'clock now, and her parents must have gone to bed long ago.

But the next day, the dialogue between her and her father was still clean.
