Chapter 64
After Huaijing left IO and became the chairman of Huai Group, he rarely came to IO unless he came to find Xu Xingkong.
So when Xu Xingkong and Yan Jialin came back from the scene and rushed to the elevator in the underground parking lot. When she saw Huaijing who was looking at documents and Leo standing beside him, she was slightly surprised.
Huaijing seemed to sense it when she came in. He looked up from the document and saw Xu Xingkong. After a smile flashed through his serious and serious gaze, he pursed his lips.
"Hello, Mr. Huai." Yan Jialin greeted each other when she met, with respect in her voice.
"Has he appeared?" Huaijing looked at Xu Xingkong and asked in a deep voice.
Xu Xingkong wore a white shirt with black wide-leg pants and a pair of nude high heels underneath. He looked energetic, but the low ponytail tied behind and the hair on the cheek made her look beautiful and gentle.
This is what she looked like when she was working, serious and responsible, and her love and belonging for her profession made her shine.
"Yes." Xu Xingkong responded.
Huaijing should have been here for the IO meeting. He was wearing a dark suit, his tie was neatly tied, and his whole body was full of noble and gentleness.
She chose this tie for him in the morning.
"When is the time to get off work tonight, I'll come to pick you up." Huaijing lowered his eyes and looked at the documents in his hand, pressing down a page with his fingers, chatting with Xu Xingkong as if no one was around.
When asked this during working hours, Xu Xingkong turned red, raised his eyes and glanced at Yan Jialin next to him, and said softly: "I'm a little busy today, maybe it's too late."
He paused his fingers slightly, pressed the corners of Huaijing's lips slightly, and his tone was faint: "It's okay, I'll work overtime to wait for you."
While he was talking, the elevator door opened and the floor of the translation office arrived. Yan Jialin said goodbye to Huaijing and got up and got off the elevator. Xu Xingkong also hurriedly followed. Before getting off the elevator, her ponytail was gently grabbed. Xu Xingkong turned around, and the man raised his eyes from the documents, closed the documents in his hand, and his eyebrows and eyes were gentle.
“Come on work.”
Xu Xingkong felt hot in the heart of the hollow, her round eyes were dark and clear, and she smiled at the corner of her lips, nodded at Huaijing, and trotted to follow Yan Jialin.
Seeing her happy look, Huaijing opened the document, closed the elevator door, and Huaijing's voice returned to the cold and shallowness.
"Work overtime with me tonight."
Leo: "…"
The preparations for the summer cooperation between IO and TIE have begun. Since Yan Jialin came back from a business trip, Xu Xingkong has been with her. Not only the scene, but also the office has a lot of work, and she has been working overtime almost every day this week.
Today on Friday, Xu Xingkong will prepare the materials that need to appear next week. She is afraid that she will work overtime for too long today and wait for her too late, so she will be too busy after getting off the elevator.
Although she didn't have time to drink water, she still had a lot of work when she got off work. She looked at the time and was about to call Huaijing. When she raised her eyes, Yan Jialin came over.
Yan Jialin rarely comes to her. She usually stands in front of the office door and glances at her. She looks up and goes to her office to listen to the arrangements.
Yan Jialin walked to her, still looking cold. She glanced at the form on her computer and said, "You get off work first."
There were a lot of things in hand, but Xu Xingkong didn't expect that Yan Jialin came to find her to get off work.
She said "ah", looked at the documents on the table, and said, "There are still many that are not completed."
"There is no hurry to use these." Yan Jialin said, drawing up several documents and instructing him: "Just take time to process these documents on the weekend."
Xu Xingkong looked at Yan Jialin's face. The woman had exquisite makeup and diamond earrings on her ears. The style was low-key and the workmanship was exquisite.
At this point, Xu Xingkong remembered the conversation that happened on the elevator today.
She has been getting off work late these days, so Huaijing shouldn't have come to IO today because of this.
Xu Xingkong was a little helpless. She pursed her lips and blushed and said, "You don't have to worry about it... Always, this is my job, I will finish it as soon as possible before getting off work."
"I don't care about him." Yan Jialin looked at Xu Xingkong, her expression was faint, and her double eyelids became a line because of the congestion of her eyes. "If he doesn't get off work, the people around him won't think about getting off work."
Who is around you? Sophia? Didn’t she go on a business trip? Is that…Leo?
Xu Xingkong checked in on time and got off work. She still remembered the last time she experienced the dark and overtime work after a dark day. At that time, she and Huai Jing had just been together, and he just mentioned her. She relied on her own efforts to finally get rid of Li Miaoxue's suppression.
This time, Huaijing didn't mention anything, but directly put pressure on Yan Jialin to let her get off work on time.
Although she got off work on time, Xu Xingkong was still thinking about work, and she would organize the several documents that Yan Jialin asked her to prepare on weekends on time.
Huaijing is still very sensible, otherwise she would not have asked Yan Jialin to get off work early on the last day if she worked overtime for several consecutive days this week.
When he got home, Xu Xingkong made dinner and the two of them ate together. Xu Xingkong asked Huaijing while drinking fish soup: "I feel that Sister Jialin seems to like Leo."
Leo is only 29 years old this year, and Yan Jialin is 35 years old this year, and seems to be six years older than him.
Yan Jialin and Sophia are good friends, and Leo and Sophia are directly related to colleagues. The two may be together.
Huaijing looked at Xu Xingkong behind the fish soup, looked up at her and asked, "Do you think I like you?"
Xu Xingkong put the soup bowl and met his sight. The starlight in her eyes jumped like a little goldfish slipping out of her hand, rolling on the water, emitting a layer of golden light.
"I don't like it." Xu Xingkong said with a smile.
The man was not angry after hearing this answer. He gently raised the end of his eyes, and under his thick eyelashes, his light brown eyes were as bright as gems.
"Then you don't feel accurate." Huaijing said.
Xu Xingkong laughed.
The dinner with Chen Wanwan's family on Saturday was set in Xiangzhuxuan according to the standards required by Chen Wanwan.
April in Xiangzhuxuan is the most beautiful time of the year. Huaijing and He Yu often eat here, and Xiangzhuxuan even prepares special rooms for them.
Xiangzhuxuan is built on the hillside, and Huaijing's room is the one with the best view.
At the wooden railing outside the floor-to-ceiling window, when you look up, you will see the clean and clear blue sky, when you look away, you will see the mist-covered green mountains, and when you look down, you will see the endless green fields.
The reason why we have a good view here is that there is a bunch of clear springs and waterfalls beside the room. The splashing water flows on the rocks, smoothing the rocks and making a gurgling sound.
Because it was the home court of the two of them, Xu Xingkong and Huaijing arrived first. They had just made tea on the low table, and Chen Wanwan arrived.
She arrived first. Xu Xingkong glanced behind her and asked, "Where is Kang Kang and Lao Zhan?"
They made dinner, and it was only five o'clock now, and Chen Wanwan came by herself. She sat cross-legged across from them, greeted Huaijing, and explained: "Kang Kang went out to sketch today, and he was delayed for some time. Old Zhan was still waiting there, so I'll come first."
Since registering with Baizhu, Kang Kang has been learning painting with Baizhu for a whole class. He is indeed a little talented, and he has made great progress when he sees Chen Wanwan's new paintings in his circle of friends.
Of course, relying solely on talent is not enough, and it also requires the guidance of a good teacher.
Chen Wanwan is so grateful to Bai Zhu when her son learns to paint.
Speaking of which, she was with Huaijing, and he also had his help. He liked Xu Xingkong, but he made Xu Xingkong perfect. Bai Zhu was a gentleman.
After she returned from Huaicheng, she went to Wuyin once and gave wedding candies to Huangfu Yiduo and Du Yizhe. She also brought some to Bai Zhuo and wanted to thank him by the way. But Weiquan was only Zhuo Nian, and Zhuo Nian told her that Bai Zhuo had gone to Li Cheng.
At that time, Xu Xingkong followed Bai Zhu to Licheng, hoping to help Yan'an one-on-one. After she finished her work, it was time to go to Licheng to see Yan'an.
"Did you learn from Mr. Bai?" When Xu Xingkong and Chen Wanwan deliberately did not mention Bai Zhu's name, Huai Jing's eyebrows and eyes were lowered, and his fingers with distinct joints wiped the purple clay pot, and asked lightly.
"Ah?" Chen Wanwan was stunned for a moment, looked up at him, then looked at Xu Xingkong next to her, and then laughed dryly and said, "Yes, I paid a year's tuition fee at that time."
Xu Xingkong glanced at Huaijing and saw that he slowly added a cup of tea to her. There was no emotion in his light brown eyes, and finally he praised him unknowingly.
"Mr. Bai is very good at painting."
Hearing his praise, Chen Wanwan browsed. Bai Zhu liked Xu Xingkong, and all three of them here knew that. So they didn't deliberately mention it, but he didn't expect it to be the one who mentioned it first. Not only that, he also praised this sentence.
Chen Wanwan felt that she had some errors in her judgment of Huaijing, but she didn't expect that he was such a generous person.
She pondered for a while, and the air was filled with a faint fragrance of tea. Chen Wanwan said last.
"Mr. Huai is really... open-minded."
As soon as she finished speaking, Huaijing put the purple clay teapot aside, glanced at the distant mountains outside the window, and said as expected: "Of course."
Chen Wanwan: “…”
As the atmosphere of the three people gradually eased, Zhan Liangting outside hugged Kang Kang to the room under the guidance of the waiter. As soon as he entered the door, Zhan Liangting apologized first: "Sorry, I'm late."
Zhan Liangting wore a plaid shirt and a black vest, and a pair of jeans on the lower body. He is also in his thirties this year, but Chen Wanwan likes young and handsome guys, and the clothes he matches him are very age-reducing.
Fortunately, Zhan Liangting had thick big eyes and small flat head, and it was not inconsistent to look at it.
Zhan Liangting trotted all the way. Kang Kang couldn't keep up with him and was directly carried by him. In addition to Kang Kang, there was also a schoolbag with dinosaur patterns in his arms.
Xu Xingkong discovered that many children now like dinosaurs, such as ancient animals. When Xingyuan got married, Huhu was holding a dinosaur doll while eating candy and waiting for his father.
"Auntie Xingkong!" Kang Kang's feet touched the ground, and he ran to Xu Xingkong with his breath and crashed into Xu Xingkong's arms.
The little guy was taller than when he met last time. After rushing over like this, Xu Xingkong leaned back slightly. Huaijing next to him reached out to support her, easing the little guy's impulse when he rushed into her arms.
Huaijing helped her this time, as if she was subconsciously protecting Xu Xingkong. Chen Wanwan took her schoolbag and put it aside, watching the two of them holding the child and the other pouring tea for Zhan Liangting. The scene just flashed by, but it made people feel particularly warm.
After Chen Wanwan finished sighing, she raised her voice and said, "You have grown up so big, and Aunt Starry Sky can hardly hold you anymore. Remember to slow down next time."
Kang Kang was hugged by Xu Xingkong. He looked at Xu Xingkong a little apologetically, and his little arm immediately circled Xu Xingkong. He lay in Xu Xingkong's arms and said apologetically: "Aunt Xingkong, I'm sorry, I miss you so much just now."
"It's okay." Xu Xingkong reached out and pinched his red ears, and said with a smile, "Auntie can still hold him."
Kang Kang was happy and raised his eyes and saw Huai Jing next to him. His big eyes rolled, his body stood upright, laying in Xu Xingkong's ear, and whispered to Xu Xingkong with his hands on his mouth.
"Auntie Starry Sky, is he your boyfriend?"
Huaijing seemed to be telepathically sentiment and looked up at the little boy. The little boy met his gaze, and his big eyes quickly turned off, with a smile on his eyes.
The little boy is cute and cheerful, with big eyes following his mother, looking weird. Huaijing's most direct impression of him was the painting he drew for Xu Xingkong last time.
The little guy is not very old, but he is quite warm.
Kang Kang's words made Xu Xingkong's face turn slightly red. She raised her eyes and looked at her, and the man was also looking at her. He sat there lazily, his peach blossom eyes slightly raised, and his light brown eyes were filled with some inquiring smiles.
