She messed with me first

After separating from Tang Jia, Qi Xi walked all the way out of the city, and drove to Yanzhi to ask here.

Yan Zhiwen knew that she would come over today, and he had been waiting since breakfast, until he finally saw the real person in the middle of the afternoon, and he couldn't help feeling, "After two years of hard work, I really have the confidence to look at it."

Qi Xi smiled and said nothing, taking any changes in her body for granted.

Humans will struggle and resist with all their strength when they are forced to breathe. In the end, they will either linger in the status quo or regain a new life in desperation.

She is fortunate to be the latter, and she is always grateful to Yan Zhiwen.

"Thank you, without the opportunity you gave me, I would not be where I am today." Qi Xi said sincerely.

Yan Zhiwen didn't answer Qi Xi's words, and looked down at the chessboard, knowing that he made a mistake, but continued to follow the wrong step.

"Opening your own studio will be difficult at first." Yan Zhiwen reminded, "Have you really thought about it?"

Qi Xi, "Think it over and be mentally prepared."

Yan Zhi asked, "Well, Lianzhou is quite capable, and she can save you a lot of trouble with her."

Qi Xi caressed the 'pawn' that Yan Zhiwen had just eaten with his index finger, looked up at him, and asked uncertainly, "Aren't you angry?"

"What are you angry about?"

"Lianzhou is the successor who has been trained by Fanshi for many years."

Yan Zhiwen conceded defeat and had no intention of continuing to play the next game. He got up, walked to the window and sat down, drinking tea and said: "It's human nature for young people not to like to be arranged, and Lian Zhou is a strong-willed person. From the very beginning, I never thought that she would come back to take over Fanshi with peace of mind."

Qi Xi still felt guilty, "But Fanshi is your life's painstaking effort. I relied on the opportunity you gave me to go out to study, but when I came back, I robbed your successor."

"That's because you have the ability." Yan Zhiwen said, "When I chose Lianzhou's father as the second-generation successor, I already handed over the honor and disgrace of the Fanshi to him. There is only a handful of old bones left. Since I can't manage it, why bother with that carelessness? Besides, didn't you just say that Lianzhou would not stay with you for long, and would eventually return to Fanshi? Then I don't care reason to be angry."

Yan Zhiwen used the bowl cover to filter the tea leaves floating on top, and asked casually, "How did you convince her?"

Qi Xi hesitated to speak.

Yan Zhiwen raised his eyes and saw her expression, and he guessed it all at once, "That girl Lianzhou is good, why don't you like her?"

Qi Xi, "She can find a better one, I can't delay her."

"What's wrong with you?"

"Family background, character ability, and vision, everything is not good."

"Lian Zhou cares about these?"

"She..." She didn't know.

Yan Zhiwen put the bowl cover aside, no longer being devious, "Xiao Qi, the future cannot be easily delayed, only the feelings. You haven't let go of Xiao Meng yet."

"!" Qi Xi's finger sticking to the edge of the tea bowl jumped, and the memory that was as quiet as deep water began to surge wantonly. She admitted, "It's been two years, and whenever I think of her, my heart hurts like a knife."

"Xiaoqi..." Yan Zhiwen wanted to say something for Meng Qingrang, but remembering what Qi Xi had suffered, he could only sigh silently, swallowed all the words, and said instead, "The date of listing is set. Inform me, an old man, to cheer you up while you can still move around, so it is not a waste to accept you as a little apprentice."

Qi Xi was taken aback, and said in surprise, "Didn't you say you were just guiding me?"

Yan Zhi asked without answering, "Don't you like it?"

How can it be!It was just too sudden.

Thinking about the possible intention of Yan Zhiwen's move—to support her soon-to-be-established 'Grass Team', Qi Xi immediately beamed with joy, "If you can come, I will definitely welcome you."

Yan Zhi asked, "That's it, go get busy."

Qi Xi stood up and said, "Thank you, Teacher Yan."

"Huh? Still called Teacher Yan?" Yan Zhiwen pretended to be displeased.

Qi Xi immediately changed his words with a smile, "Thank you, Master."

Yan Zhiwen picked up the tea bowl, took a sip, and replied, "Oh."

----

Returning to the urban area from Yanzhiwen, just in time for the evening peak, Qi Xi was stuck on the road and could not advance or retreat. It took 10 minutes to drive 200 meters.

She felt irritable, inexplicably irritable.

The phone rang suddenly, no matter what the rules or not, I just picked it up and looked at it.

It's Qin Lianzhou's WeChat account.

Qin Lianzhou: [We have prepared enough materials in the early stage, and the loan process went smoothly. 】

Qin Lianzhou: [The location of the studio is almost done. Come over to me in the evening and do a final screening. It's confirmed. My contact person will go to the site tomorrow to have a look. 】

Qi Xi: [Okay, thank you for your hard work. 】

Qin Lianzhou: [Why are you being polite to me. 】

Qin Lianzhou: [Where are you now?Do you want to have dinner together tonight? 】

Someone urged him from behind, Qi Xi hurriedly put down his phone, let off the brakes and followed, and only replied to Qin Lianzhou after a while: [Going to see two old friends tonight, tomorrow? 】

Qin Lianzhou: [Okay. 】

The people Qi Xi wants to meet are Zheng Youling and Fan Ying. They have been in touch for the past two years. Knowing that she is back, they plan to build their own studio. , if you don’t mind, let me help you? Just pay enough to make ends meet.”

She asked the two of them to meet today to formally discuss this matter.

"Don't talk nonsense!" Fan Ying said, her fiery temper did not change at all, "After you left, the cooperation between Youshang and Fenghuo Huanyu stopped soon, and there was no fixed revenue, so Youshang would hang on his breath, if not Mr. Li came back to talk to us in person, and Yingying and I have already quit. Anyway, we start as newcomers wherever we go, why not follow our sisters, and it can be worse than the discrimination against women of our age in the general workplace? "

"That's right!" Zheng Youling was still exaggeratingly wiping away tears. He felt that Qi Xi had no conscience. After walking for so long, he never came back to see them. When he heard Fan Ying's words, he immediately changed his tone, "Don't say it, You Although Shang is broke, I have grown a lot after being a design director for more than two years, and I will definitely help you when I go there."

"I know, I've always known that you're not bad." Qi Xi said, she doesn't have many friends, but she has the ability to move her by just pulling out one, "I promise, you will only be wronged for a while, two years, In a maximum of two years, I will double your salary, and I will do what I say!"

Zheng Youling and Fan Ying looked at each other and said in unison, "We will do what we say!"

----

Qi Xi went back to her residence and rang the doorbell of Qin Lianzhou's house, planning to chat with her about the location of the studio.

Upon hearing this, Qin Lianzhou replied to her on WeChat: 【Wait a moment. 】

The door opened quickly, and Qi Xi, who was lazily leaning against the wall, looked Qin Lianzhou up and down for a few seconds, and asked, "It's eleven o'clock, why are you dressed so formally?"

Qin Lianzhou came out and closed the door sideways, "Eat."

Qi Xi frowned, "It's so late and you haven't eaten yet?"

Qin Lianzhou, "Do you want to accompany me?"

Qi Xi straightened up, walked towards the elevator and said displeasedly: "Who is nagging all day long, thinking that I don't eat on time? Oh, the rules of feelings are set for me alone? Minister Qin really understands what is love? Treat everyone equally."

Qin Lianzhou didn't feel angry at all, pressed the elevator and asked, "What's delicious in Jiangping?"

Qi Xi's tone was cool, "You are a native of Jiangping, well, how can I know what delicious food is here as a foreigner?"

Qin Lianzhou laughed and said, "Qi Xi, were you so unreasonable before?"

Qi Xi, "Really not."

Qin Lianzhou, "Then who spoiled you like this?"

After the words fell, the elevator doors slowly opened to both sides.

Meng Qingrang stood inside holding the glutinous rice balls, and the bright white light shone from the top of his head, making the eyes behind the glasses extremely silent.

Qi Xi never dreamed that she would run into Meng Qingrang here, she watched quietly and did not respond, but Tangyuan recognized her and rushed out quickly, screaming and pulling her clothes desperately with her front paws. Gaining consciousness, he hastily squatted down and hugged the glutinous rice balls.

After Meng Qingrang and Qin Lianzhou nodded, they walked out of the elevator and found an unfounded excuse to explain to Qi Xi, "Tang Jia received a call from a client and went to another province, so she couldn't come and deliver it in person. She was in a hurry, and she was working. I'm alone in the room."

Qi Xi gave a cold 'hmm'.

Looking up slightly, he bumped into Meng Qingrang's hand hanging by his side.

The wounds on the joints have not yet fully healed.

Probably not handled well, the edges were red and swollen, covering her fair skin, forming a strong visual contrast.

Suddenly, the irritability that had disappeared in Qi Xi's chest reappeared, even worse than when he came out of Yan Zhiwen.

She felt uncomfortable and wanted to lose her temper.

With Tangyuan arching her head on her neck, Qi Xi was silent for a while, then stood up, took the leash from Meng Qingrang's hand, and said calmly, "Thank you." The tone was polite and unfamiliar, completely different from the quarrel with Qin Lianzhou just now. Two people.

Meng Qingrang held the car keys, and for a few seconds, he clearly felt that he was a complete outsider at the moment.

Thinking of Tang Jia saying that Qi Xi rejected Qin Lianzhou's confession, Quiet Heartbeat slowly came to life again.

Qi Xi felt that Meng Qingrang was staring at him bluntly, and said that he wanted to chase people away, "Is there anything else Mr. Meng can do?"

Meng Qing let go of the hand holding the car key, handed it to Qi Xi, and said, "The car has already parked in the parking space. Tang Jia said you know the parking space number."

"Well, she sent me WeChat." Qi Xi took the key, still with the attitude that was extremely distant to Meng Qingrang, "Mr. Meng, I will ask Jiajia to treat you to dinner later."

Meng Qingrang, "Easy to do."

Qi Xi didn't answer any more, and looked away from Meng Qingrang without any hesitation, turned to Qin Lianzhou, and said, "Lianzhou, wait for me, I'll send the glutinous rice balls back first."

Qin Lianzhou, "Okay, don't worry."

Qi Xi leaned over and patted Tangyuan's head, then pulled it inside.

But five or six meters away, Tangyuan stopped suddenly, turned around and yelled at Meng Qingrang.

Meng Qing let a smile appear on his plain face, and said to Tang Yuan in a slow voice: "I won't go, you follow Xi obediently, and go home with Qi Xi."

Tangyuan can't understand "human language", but it has the spirituality of animals and can understand human expressions and emotions.

After Meng Qingrang finished speaking, it let out a dejected 'woo', and continued to move forward in the direction just now. Even Qi Xi, who picked it up and raised it for so many years, was still standing there without noticing it. .

Qi Xi frowned slightly, and turned to look at Meng Qingrang.

The two times we saw each other again, she always wore glasses. Even though the lenses were clear, the light from different directions made it difficult for people to see what emotions were hidden in her eyes behind the lenses. The only thing that is certain Yes——while Tangyuan wanted her to be with her, she was also reluctant to part with Tangyuan.

Is it just to help deliver it once?

Before Qi Xi could continue to think about it, the leash in her hand was pulled to the head because the glutinous rice balls went far away, and she was pulling her forward.

Qi Xi immediately put away the messy thoughts in her head, strode after the glutinous rice balls, and sent it home.

Only Meng Qingrang and Qin Lianzhou were left at the elevator entrance.

"Mr. Meng didn't rest well last night?" Qin Lianzhou spoke first, "Your complexion doesn't look very good."

Meng Qingrang closed his eyes very slowly, retracted his gaze fixed on the light-colored door panel, and turned to meet Qin Lianzhou's gaze, "Thank you Miss Qin for your concern. I'm preparing for a solo exhibition recently, and it's normal not to get enough sleep."

Qin Lianzhou, "Looking forward to Mr. Meng's big show."

Meng Qingrang, "Miss Qin, thank you."

"Crack!" There was a sound of closing the door not far away.

Meng Qingrang subconsciously looked sideways, but out of the corner of his eye, he could only see Qin Lianzhou reach out and press the elevator again.

When Qi Xi came over, the elevator just opened, and the three entered one by one.

Meng Qingrang stood at the front alone.

Qi Xi and Qin Lianzhou were side by side.

The sound of the elevator running was very small, coupled with the limited space, the conversation between Qi Xi and Qin Lianzhou, which was not deliberately hidden, was very clear, and every detail in the tone could be distinguished.

"What do you want to eat?" Qi Xi asked with a smile.

Qin Lianzhou, "I'm going out for a while, see what's nearby, as long as I can make do to fill my stomach."

"Say it earlier, I just bought a case of water there, if you want to drink, you can fill it up."

"No spoonful of sugar?"

"That's a bit of a luxury."

"Heh." Qin Lianzhou's chuckle was almost in sync with the beep of the elevator arriving.

Meng Qingrang came out and stood aside, waiting for Qi Xi and Qin Lianzhou to come out one after the other, and said softly: "Out of the main entrance, walk more than ten meters to the east, and several stores are still open. I saw it when I came here. "

Qi Xi stopped her calm steps, and the smile on her face disappeared completely in an instant, just like the sudden stop of her steps.

She really wanted to know, what kind of mood did Meng Qingrang bring her the car and glutinous rice balls, and what kind of attitude is he talking to her now, is he too calm?

Is it really the past?

……

Good.

"Boss Meng, go slowly." Qi Xi's tone was stinging.

Meng Qingrang didn't seem to feel it, and glanced at Qi Xi's slightly open neckline.

Around her neck is a looming chain.

The material is not bright silver and white.

……

"The weather forecast says that there will be rain around twelve o'clock, and the wind is very strong now. If you go out like this, you will easily get a cold wind." Meng Qingrang said, her cotton-like attitude crazily provoked Qi Xi's temper. Just worse.

"Then what's Boss Meng thinking?" Qi Xi asked with a smile on his face.

Seeing Qin Lianzhou walking away, Meng Qingrang took off his coat and handed it to Qi Xi, who was only wearing a casual shirt, and said, "Keep out the wind."

Qi Xi took it over, looked at it in his hand, and asked unhurriedly: "Mr. Meng takes such good care of his ex, does your fiancé know?"

The lines are full of sarcasm.

His eyes glanced over Meng Qingrang, and he saw her hand pressing against her stomach.

Qi Xi pursed her lips, her chest heaving.

After a few seconds, he laughed with a 'hmph' and threw the coat back vigorously, his tone was cold and piercing, "I want you to take care of it?!"
