Chapter 8
Chapter 8:
The sun was shining brightly, and the office was white and dazzling.
The delicate makeup on her face could not hide her haggardness, Wen Jin lowered her head and rubbed her temples, feeling dizzy and swollen, which was the after-effect of being drunk last night.
The company’s intercom phone rang.
Wen Jin tiredly connected, and a secret voice came, “Mr. Wen, Director Ning wants to see you.”
A brief silence. Wen Jin responded, “Yeah.”
Half a minute later, Ning Qian knocked on the door and entered the office.
“Why don’t you have a good rest today?” Ning Qian looked at Wen Jin’s faint dark circles, and was so distressed that she forgot to even mention the polite greetings she should receive from her superiors in the workplace.
Wen Jin smiled, “It’s okay.”
The most she said was that it was okay, like last night. Ning Qian didn’t think she was “all right”, Wen Jin has always been mature and steady, how could she get drunk in a bar?
Ning Qian asked her what was wrong, and she didn’t mention anything other than “it’s okay”.
“You are just being brave.” When Ning Qian watched her drinking alone last night, she really wanted to hug her to comfort her, but Wen Jin was just drinking and wouldn’t say a word to her. . Ning Qian couldn’t help but care, “What happened? Can’t you tell me?”
“Director Ning, it’s work time now.”
The sentence “I’m so worried about you” after “Wen Jin…”, Ning Qian didn’t say it.
In front of Wen Jin, Ning Qian was cautious everywhere, for fear that if he said something wrong or acted wrongly, Wen Jin would avoid her and resist her.
“I took the liberty last night, thank you.” Wen Jin breathed a sigh of relief.
Wen Jin thanked her, but Ning Qian felt that she did nothing.
“In the future you… If you want to drink, just call me directly, anytime.” Ning Qian pretended to be nonchalant and smiled, obviously with such emotions, but she could only pretend to be an ordinary friend , “Don’t be alone.”
“Thank you.”
Ning Qian hated Wen Jin the most to say thank you to her, the relationship finally became a little closer, but because of a “thank you” it pulled her far away.
Jing Rui said that she was willing to be Wen Jin’s spare tire, Ning Qian felt that she was not even a spare tire now, if Wen Jin really used her as a spare tire, she would be happy for a while .
She knew that it was impossible to have a result with Wen Jin, but she couldn’t let go of each other.
To like someone like this is really tiring.
But whenever Wen Jin smiled at her, or made a slightly intimate gesture. Ning Qian couldn’t help herself.
She separated from Wen Jin and met again, just like quitting cigarettes and smoking again, it will only become more addictive. Sometimes Ning Qian also thinks that because of this woman, she may die alone…
—
After get off work, Chi Jia went to No. 9 again.
I can’t remember how many times this month.
As soon as she stepped into this restaurant, Chi Jia was full of love.
The waiters on No. 9 all started to look familiar to Chi Jia, “Miss Chi, are you here to find our boss again? I’ll take you there.”
Jing Rui said that the renovation of the coffee shop is not in a hurry, the time is sufficient, and the details of the design plan are still to be discussed. Chi Jia knew what this meant, which meant that she would suffer endless torture from the vixen.
The two sat side by side on the sofa, staring at the computer screen.
“Change it here.”
“Isn’t this changed according to your request?!”
“I think now,” Jing Rui glanced at Chi Jia lazily, “It still feels good at first.”
“Okay, I’ll change it.” Chi Jiaqiang held back his anger.
When Chi Jia obediently corrects it, Jing Rui folds her hair, supports her head, and says to Chi Jia, “It seems a bit abrupt, let’s change it again.”
Chi Jia’s anger level successfully reached the full point, “Jing Rui, you did it on purpose! I provoked you to provoke you! Don’t take you to play with me like this!”
I did provoke it last night, but Chi Jia forgot about it.
“Vixen, a vixen who likes to seduce other men.” Jing Rui changed the subject and said slowly, she remembered this sentence very clearly. Dare to say that to her. Jing Rui questioned Chi Jia, “Do you usually scold me like this?”
“…” Chi Jia felt guilty, did he drink too much last night and said something he shouldn’t have said? No wonder the vixen targeted her so much today. Chi Jia was beaten to death and refused to admit it, with the appearance of a dead pig not afraid of boiling water, “I… no.”
“Continue to make changes. If the changes are not good, redo them.”
“Rework?” Chi Jia affirmed this time, she must have said something she shouldn’t have said last night.
Tired. Chi Jia stared at the screen for a few seconds, then closed the notebook, “Miss Jing, if you are so dissatisfied with me, then change the designer. I don’t want to waste your time.”
Chi Jia said that she was aggrieved and sad. She has been in the business for more than a year. This is the first time she has voluntarily given up a client.
Putting away the notebook and materials, Chi Jia got up and prepared to leave. When she said those words, she was already ready to get this order.
There is money that you cannot earn by yourself.
“Chi Jia, stop.” Jing Rui also got up and stopped her.
“What do you want?” Chi Jia frowned.
“I said at the beginning that my requirements are very high.” Jing Rui paused and continued, “I am not dissatisfied with you, but I think you can do better. This is a good opportunity for you, are you sure you want to give up?”
This order has a budget of several million. Even if Chi Jia receives dozens of orders, the commission may not be as much as this time. After weighing the pros and cons, Chi Jia was silent for a while, then gritted his teeth and threw the bag on the table, opened the notebook, and continued. “I’ll change it until you’re satisfied, okay?”
This stubborn temper, Jing Rui smiled, checked the time, and went downstairs.
Chi Jia stared at the computer screen, her eyes dazzled.
It was already in the middle of the night after drinking and going home last night. For the sake of full attendance this month, I was not willing to take half a day off.
When Jing Rui went upstairs again, Chi Jia was leaning on the sofa, tilting his head and sleeping soundly.
Chi Jia’s bare long legs rubbed against each other and shrank into a ball. She was very thin, especially when she was nestled in the corner of the sofa. It looks very tired.
Jing Rui turned up the temperature of the air conditioner, she sat down beside Chi Jia, and pushed her elbow.
Chi Jia woke up as soon as there was movement. She really didn’t get enough sleep last night.
“I asked you to change the picture, what are you doing?”
Dizzy, unable to open her eyes. Chi Jia rubbed his eyes and cheered up, “Okay, I’ll change it now…”
Jing Rui looked at her tired face, reached out and closed the notebook for her, her voice suddenly softened a little, “Don’t change it.”
“What’s the matter?”
Jing Rui got up, “Eat first.”
The black pepper steak pasta on the table is fragrant.
Chi Jia was greedy for the taste of the food, so hungry.
It’s still a double.
Jing Rui sat down and said, “Go back after dinner, and change it next time.”
“Why do you think it’s one thing? Didn’t you ask me to come tonight?” Chi Jia felt inexplicable, “Didn’t you say that you need to change it until you are satisfied?”
“I have something to do temporarily.” Jing Rui raised her eyes and saw that Chi Jia was still frozen in place, “Eat quickly, don’t waste my time.”
“I didn’t say I wanted to stay with you for dinner…” Chi Jia said reluctantly, but his stomach was honest, “Gu Gu Gu——”
“I don’t want to send you to the hospital again.”
Looking at Jing Rui, Chi Jia was in a complicated mood. To say that Jing Rui hates this person, in fact, it is not that annoying. Some behaviors are obviously well-intentioned, but they just make her feel uncomfortable.
Chi Jia stood awkwardly for a while, and finally sat down opposite Jing Rui. The vixen tossed her like this, and it was nothing for her to eat a meal.
Picked up the knife and fork and ate.
Chi Jia eats casually without making people feel indecent.
In short, I was hungry all afternoon and ate deliciously.
Jing Rui stopped the knife and fork in her hand, looked at Chi Jia, and asked with a smile, “Is it delicious?”
“What did you do?” Chi Jia had almost nothing left, and thought it tasted better than the last time he came to eat.
“Hmm.”
I can’t see how well the fox’s cooking is so good.
Aside from the tinted glasses to see Jing Rui, Chi Jia thinks that Miss Jing is a little charming, she is beautiful and has a good figure, she is as attractive as a fox, and her cooking skills are amazing.
Just hearing that it was made by Jing Rui, no matter how delicious it is, Chi Jia is reluctant to admit it, “That’s it.”
Jing Rui looked at Chi Jia’s plate, and she ate it all, and she was still stubborn. Jing Rui thought she was not full, “I’m not enough to make you more?”
“No need,” Chi Jia wiped his mouth, eating and drinking, and nitpicking eggs, disgusting, “It’s too salty.”
Jing Rui: “…”
I have eaten pasta made by Jing Rui, so that for a long time, Chi Jia was greedy for the dishes made by Jing Rui.
Afterwards, Chi Jia was less disgusted and went to No. 9. Although the revision collapsed, at least he could eat a meal. Jing Rui’s craftsmanship was better than that of the chefs in the No. 9 store.
Jing Rui rarely cooks herself, but when Chi Jia comes to her, she is always interested in doing something. She inexplicably likes to see Chi Jia saying that it is not delicious, but every time she eats the food cleanly.
It is inevitable to be lonely when you eat alone, and it is also good to have a noisy person to accompany you.
In the afternoon tea time, a group of sisters chirped in the tea room again, saying which restaurant was delicious. Naturally, the number nine was involved.
“I heard that their boss’s dishes are better.”
“That’s useless, their boss doesn’t cook easily.”
Chi Jia took a sip of coffee and said with a smile, “You must be mistaken, every time I go back to eat there, it’s their boss’s fried dishes.”
This sentence made Chi Jia the focus of everyone.
“Xiao Jia, you know their boss very well?!”
She and Jing Rui… Chi Jia replied decisively, “I don’t know each other well.”
“That’s impossible.”
“Xiao Jia, you must be mistaken…”
This group of people spoke in unison, which made Chi Jia begin to doubt herself. Could it be that Jing Rui took special care of her?
The topic gradually began to wander.
“But the boss is really beautiful, with a great figure and super rich!”
“Yes, yes, I saw it once, and she smiled at me.”
“I want to marry a woman!”
“I would be happy if I could be taken care of by a good-looking rich woman…”
A group of people suddenly shouted at Jing Rui, which caused Chi Jia to feel uncomfortable. She couldn’t listen anymore, and walked out of the pantry in despair.
During their lifetimes, the sisters in the pantry were actually going crazy to a woman.
Crazy, crazy.
Back at the station, Chi Jia was still holding the coffee, thinking, is Jing Rui as exaggerated as they say? She has seen it a lot, and she thinks that the surname is Jing, it seems like that…
—
At eleven o’clock in the evening, Chi Jia went to the N bar to sing as usual.
She doesn’t go to other bars very much, because she has known the owner here for a few years, and she can get discounts on drinks.
Drinking alone tonight.
Familiar voice, an English song ignited the atmosphere of the scene.
Jing Rui was leaning against the bar, looking at the center of the stage.
This is the second time she has heard Chi Jia sing here. During this time, she often comes here to drink alone, but she has never met Chi Jia.
She came here with a little intention of wanting to hear Miss Chi sing.
Sometimes I sing a lyrical ditty, and sometimes I sing a hi song.
Jing Rui didn’t realize that, her eyes were almost all on Chi Jia.
Chi Jia smiles very nicely, bright and natural, and infectious. That kind of smile seems to be reserved for young girls, just in youth.
Like that night, Chi Jia only sang three songs.
Then stepped down, found a corner, and had a quiet drink.
Before she took two sips, another person sat beside her, Chi Jia tilted her head slightly, she really suspected Jing Rui was following her, Chi Jia pretended not to see.
The two sat side by side, still drinking their own wine.
It was very similar to that night.
“When do you usually come to sing?”
“Come here if you want, it depends on your mood.” Chi Jia turned to the side, clinking glasses with Jing Rui, as if there is wine, everything is easy to say, and they can be a little more harmonious when they get along.
Seeing that Chi Jia drank a lot from cup to cup, Jing Rui directly grabbed the half cup of wine left over from Chi Jia’s hand, put it to her mouth and drank it, and gave the other party an empty space Wine glass, “Don’t drink too much if you’re not drinking enough.”
“You are unreasonable!” Chi Jia urged Jing Rui, “No, please invite me for another drink!”
Jing Rui was also interested tonight, “You can drink as much as you want, I’ll invite you tonight.”
When drinking together, Chi Jia felt that Jing Rui didn’t seem so unpleasant.
After half an hour, they were both slightly drunk.
Chi Jia rolled her eyes and complained, “Nonsense, no one is alone.”
“Together?”
“You?” Chi Jia sneered, “I’m not interested.”
“Cheers.”
“Dry…”
Chi Jia could not imagine that she would drink with the woman she hated the most, and drink with great interest.
The atmosphere is high in the bar.
Not far away, Jing Rui caught a glimpse of a familiar figure walking towards her.
Jing Rui put down the glass and leaned towards Chi Jia, “Do me a favor.”
Alcohol and the fiery atmosphere made Chi Jia a little dizzy, “What?”
Jing Rui walked towards Chi Jia, put her left hand on the bar, her right hand around Chi Jia’s waist, and sent her red lips towards Chi Jia, “Kiss me.”
“Huh??!”
Two women hug each other in an extremely ambiguous posture.
Jing Rui raised Chi Jia’s chin with her left hand, lowered her eyes and said, “Kiss me…”
