Dressed as a cannon fodder substitute for a beautiful president

Shen Zhibing looked down at the thing she was holding in her hand and guessed it was her dinner.She got off the plane with Yunfei and rested in the hotel for a while without letting Yunfei follow.It's just that Qizheng didn't expect Qizheng to come back so late. She waited in the car for almost an hour.

"Is this for dinner?"

Qizheng looked down at the simple packaging of the campus fast food: "Just enough to eat."

Shen Zhibing glanced at the time, it wasn't particularly late, and suggested: "Study is hard, and eating is not enough. Want to have dinner? I'll treat you."

Qizheng shook her head, and said frankly: "I spent a long time in the library after class in the afternoon, and now my mind can't turn anymore, I want to go back and rest."

Shen Zhibing didn't force her, and the two stood silently under the apartment building.

Occasionally someone would come in and out, Qizheng moved a little to the side for fear of disturbing others.

But she didn't ask Shen Zhibing to go upstairs, she also knew that Mr. Shen appeared here at this time, he must not be passing by.She just didn't think about how to get along with her alone.

In the end, it was Shen Zhibing who spoke first: "Won't you invite me up for a ride? I just sat in the car for a long time and wanted to have a cup of coffee."

Qizheng turned around to enter the password, and leaned sideways on the door to let Shen Zhibing in first.

Seeing that she struggled to operate with one hand, Shen Zhibing subconsciously wanted to take the pasta and pizza from her hand, but was avoided by Qi Zheng.

"Things are not heavy, I can do it myself."

Things are for one person, so it's not heavy, but Qi Zheng's extraordinarily generous attitude made Shen Zhibing startled.

Before she came here, she estimated that Qizheng would not be the same as before, but she didn't expect that she would feel this way when she actually faced it.

It's hard, it's hard, it's very hard.

But she did not show any unpleasantness and respected Qizheng's decision.Shen Zhibing quickened his pace a little, walked to the elevator and pressed the button.

After entering the elevator, before Qi Zheng could speak, Shen Zhibing directly pressed the button for the seventh floor.

At first she was a little surprised, how could Boss Shen know which floor she lived on.After thinking about it, I realized that I was unresponsive. The company paid for the expenses, and she kept in touch with Secretary Yun, so Mr. Shen could find out with a casual question.

The two of them didn't say anything in the elevator until Qizheng opened the door of the apartment and invited her in.

"Sorry, only disposable slippers."

Shen Zhibing didn't mind at all, took off her high heels and put on a pair of slippers that Qi Zheng had just unpacked from the shoe cabinet.

There were only traces of Qizheng's life in this apartment, Shen Zhibing quickly looked around and came to this conclusion.

I was inexplicably relieved, and there was joy coming out of nowhere, which diluted the disappointment caused by Qi Zheng's indifferent attitude just now.

Qizheng put the things in the kitchen and really started to make coffee.

"The espresso machine I ordered online hasn't arrived yet, and there's only Americano at the moment. Don't mind Mr. Shen."

Shen Zhibing stood at the door of the semi-open kitchen, looked at Qi Zheng's busy figure, and said calmly, "It's okay."

The style of the apartment is very similar to that of Qizheng, simple and tidy, pure and bright, and slightly warm.

Qizheng poured the coffee, put it on the table, and said with some embarrassment: "There's nothing to eat at home, Mr. Shen, if you haven't eaten dinner, I'll order a takeaway for you."

"No, if you don't mind the trouble, just cook me some instant noodles."

Qizheng likes to eat Qianyiding's noodles, especially the sesame oil flavored ones.Aunt Xin told her this, and for some reason, she suddenly remembered it.

Sure enough, there are several packs of instant noodles at home.Qizheng was embarrassed to let Shen Zhibing watch her eat dinner by herself, so she went to cook noodles and added a poached egg by the way.

"It can only go so far, I didn't know you were coming, I didn't prepare in advance."

Shen Zhibing didn't have much appetite at first, but in this small and warm apartment, eating with Qizheng across a short and narrow dining table suddenly made the food in front of him more attractive and delicious.

She glanced at Qizheng's pasta, and couldn't help laughing: "The school's chefs are still at this level."

Qi Zheng also complained to her classmates who were also from China. Don't try the food in the school cafeteria unless necessary.

"Boss Shen also found it unpalatable when he was studying?"

Shen Zhibing wrinkled his nose mischievously, with a little exaggeration, emphasizing every word: "Very unpalatable, very impressive."

Qizheng was amused by her tone, and the atmosphere finally eased.

Shen Zhibing told her about his visit to Boss Zhuang this time, and Qi Zheng was no longer in charge of the specific work, and Shen Zhibing didn't want to add extra burden to her.

On the contrary, Qizheng was quite concerned about those gambling houses, so he took the initiative to ask.

Shen Zhibing shook his head and sighed softly: "The board of directors still disagrees, so the funds cannot be fully secured. But I am already negotiating with the bank to apply for part of the loan."

Seeing that she already had a solution, Qizheng guessed that this visit to America would be the last time.A little sad, but also feel reasonable, so no more words.

Shen Zhibing finished the poached eggs and most of the bowl of noodles, but Qizheng had a lot left, and finally relied on pizza to barely fill his stomach.

"Next time, if you stay in school for a long time, go to the hamburger restaurant at the back door of the business school to buy food. It tastes really good."

It shouldn't be too bad for Shen Zhibing to recommend it several times, this time Qizheng readily accepted her suggestion.

"How does it feel to be in class?"

After dinner, he was already drinking his second cup of coffee, Shen Zhibing didn't seem to be in a hurry to leave.

"It's okay, the course has just started, mainly some theoretical courses. But my oral English level is not stable."

"It's normal. If you practice more and talk more, you will improve soon."

Qizheng nodded, indicating that she would continue to practice more.

After that, the atmosphere returned to silence again, and this time it seemed that it was time for someone to leave.

Qizheng almost gave up all the initiative, neither active nor active, she was completely polite and cooperative.Shen Zhibing held the mug with both hands, and tapped the wall with his index finger, as if he was brewing something.

Qi Zheng didn't know what President Shen wanted to say, but seeing her so solemn, she also waited patiently.

She thought, no matter what Mr. Shen said, it would not be as good as what he said that day, which caught people off guard.She had nothing to worry about, but she was still a little nervous.

Shen Zhibing sighed softly, her voice was a little dark: "Qizheng, actually I came today to formally apologize to you."

Qi Zheng raised her eyes, a little surprised.

Shen Zhibing started talking, and continued to speak vigorously: "I said something that hurt people that day, and I didn't consider your feelings, it was my fault."

Qizheng didn't say a word, but his mood was a little low, apparently because he was reminded of that day.

"At that time, there happened to be a photo on the intranet, and the second uncle was always testing the relationship between me and you, and someone was looking up my past. These factors combined made me react impulsively. You said something like that."

Qizheng gritted her teeth, her brows gradually gathered together, trying her best to control her emotions.

If these words were told to her frankly at that night, maybe it would not have made it to where it is today.

However, this did not change Shen Zhibing's view on their relationship.

"Mr. Shen, I understand your situation and the pressure you were under, and I also know that you don't want to be affected."

Qizheng spoke slowly and with difficulty, but she did not avoid this matter.

Since Shen Zhibing formally apologized, she should also give a formal response.

Seeing that she still didn't complain, Shen Zhibing even expressed understanding from her point of view, a little moved.Perhaps this is one of the reasons why Qizheng made her feel at ease, she was always so indifferent and tolerant.

But in the next second, Qizheng said: "I can understand, but I can't accept it."

Shen Zhibing's smile froze at the corner of her lips before she had time to relax, and her heart that was gradually relaxing was suddenly tightened, making her feel at a loss.

She didn't expect Qizheng to give her such a response at all, even if she was still angry, complaining, or even crying, it was Shen Zhibing's normal reaction.

But now, Qizheng understood her so calmly, yet rejected her again.

"Qizheng, actually I..."

She didn't go on, maybe just hesitated for a few seconds.Qizheng looked up at her, and smiled shyly after a few seconds when she was stuck.

"Mr. Shen, I can't treat the feelings I have given as nothing happened. Similarly, the feelings that have been hurt, I can't just pretend that I don't care about anything just because of an apology."

Qizheng's words all showed that she cared, cared about Shen Zhibing's denial of their intimacy.

Shen Zhibing caught something from Qizheng's fleeting expression change just now, but couldn't figure out what she meant.

She clearly saw Qizheng's eyes, which lit up for a moment, and then quickly dimmed.

Shen Zhibing realized that she couldn't bear to see such a situation, and she felt so sad for a moment, seeing it once that night was enough to make her heart palpitate till now.

"I know you have a reason to be angry, and I also know that just saying I'm sorry can't heal those hurts. I just hope you understand my attitude. I don't want to completely cut off the relationship between us. I just feel that at the moment While the situation is still unclear, the status quo will be maintained for the time being.”

Qizheng smiled wryly and shook his head. This was a belated explanation. Although it didn't mean much, it was better than nothing.

Shen Zhibing looked at Qizheng, hoping to see a slight change in her face, but what he saw was still indifferent and even more desolate.

She took out a brocade box from her carry-on bag, which contained the bracelet that Qizheng took off.

"This, take it back first, okay?"

Qizheng looked at it, his thoughts were a little confused, and his heart hurt a little.

Shen Zhibing thought she didn't refuse, so he took out the bracelet from the box, and put it on for Qizheng just like before.

Only this time, she was more careful and gentle than before.

When the bracelet wrapped around Qizheng's white wrist, the coolness stimulated her skin and awakened her thoughts.

Qizheng withdrew his hand abruptly, but Shen Zhibing didn't expect it, and the bracelet fell directly on the table.

"Mr. Shen, this gift is too expensive. No matter what the reason is, I can't accept it." She took a deep breath, "There should be no more disputes between us other than business."

Shen Zhibing's hand stayed in midair for a while, then slowly picked up the bracelet and put it back into the brocade box.

In such a situation, she has no experience in dealing with it, and it can even be said that she has no tricks.

She also didn't expect Qizheng's attitude to be so firm.

In the year of knowing each other, Qizheng has never changed.If she wants to refuse, she will not compromise.

"I'm too impatient."

Qizheng's nose suddenly felt sour, and the pizza in his stomach was still messing around, and he suddenly felt uncomfortable.

She didn't keep Shen Zhibing any longer, and when Boss Shen got up to leave, she followed her and opened the door for her.

"I'll come to you for dinner tomorrow. I know there's a good restaurant near here."

Qizheng watched her change her shoes and walked her to the elevator, but rejected her invitation.

"Mr. Shen, I still have class tomorrow. You don't have to worry about me, it's over."

The author says:

Qi Bao: That's it?In your dreams!

Mr. Shen: I was wrong, I will continue to reflect on it, and try harder next time
