Chapter 200 - The matchmaker who sees me off
Not drunk, but taking the initiative to give me a kiss, it was very unbelievable that Liusu would do this kind of thing. Liusu also felt very embarrassed. She turned her blushed face and asked shyly in a low voice, “Are. . . are you alive now?”
“Not yet. . .” I shook my head in a daze, “You forgot to give me oxygen, you need to do it again.”
“You. . . Wish!”
This time, Liusu threw her soft punch again.
“Ouch!”
“Are you okay?” Seeing my face tightened in pain, Liusu immediately stopped her little hand and said in a panic: “did I hurt you?”
“It doesn’t hurt, but I think I will really die this time.” While Liusu was dazed by my reply, I suddenly landed toward her and kissed her. Laughing loudly, I said, “I will die of happiness! Hahahaha.”
“You. . . You. . .” Liusu was embarrassed at first, holding her fists, wanting to punch me again. But after a short while, she couldn’t help but burst out laughing. Draping her arm around my shoulders, she laughed out loud with me. While our laughter filled this small space, I indeed felt extremely fortunate and happy.
Who said that the process of walking out of the company after losing the job would be desolate. I was very happy, maybe didn’t care about this job, or maybe I gained something instead of losing. . .
Although I didn’t feel sad, I indeed felt slightly attached to the company. Elder Sister Liu, Elder Brother Wei, and others all knew that I was leaving, but they did not deliberately send me off. They were worried that I would be sad, afraid that I would feel embarrassed, and understood that they couldn’t keep me, who was still a little stubborn.
They all knew that my resignation was directly related to Mo Fei. In terms of the reason. It was not something they thought they should ask. But more people were trying to avoid getting involved. Many colleagues in the investment department saw Mo Fei cry and my “heartless” reaction yesterday. God knows if they came to see me off, it would anger Ms. Mo or not.
When I decided to leave the company, I was afraid to see them, but when it was time to leave the company, my nostalgia for those friends was infinitely magnified.
Goodbye, this word was really complicated. It would make one feel at a loss for what to do.
The people who I wanted to say goodbye to didn’t show up, but the people who I didn’t want to see took the initiative to see me off. As soon as Liusu and I walked out of the elevator and reached the lobby on the first floor, we saw two guys approaching. One of them was the project team team leader Li Qi, and the other one was his distant nephew, Hong Tao, the deputy team leader of the project team.
“I thought what everyone said yesterday was just a rumor. But I didn’t expect that. . .” Li Qi shook his huge head and said to me with a look of regret: “Young Master Chu, holding this box, don’t tell me that you really want to leave Fengchang, do you?”
This shameless bastard was used to calling people “Young Master”, and he actually called me “Young Master Chu”. Just with his expression alone, it was hard to believe that he was mocking me. Although I was pretty sure that he was mocking me. I had no intention to talk more to this kind of person, so I simply said, “That’s right, Team Leader Li, I will leave this company forever. So goodbye and take care of yourself in the future.”
I was neither indifferent nor sycophantic, and I was too lazy to provoke him again. As I was holding the box, I didn’t even bother to shake hands with him.
Li Qi sighed with a sorrowful expression as if his father had just passed away: “Young Master Chu is such a young and talented person, which has a very promising future. Leaving like this, it is really the loss of our investment department. . . No, it is the loss of Fengchang Group. . .”
Was this guy praising me or mocking me? The way he said it sounded like I had just died in some kind of accident. I had the urge to kick him, but since he was smiling at me, hitting him would only make me look bad. So I could only jokingly say, “Leader Li is flattering me, I have no plans to leave this world anytime soon.”
“Misunderstanding, it is just a misunderstanding. I didn’t mean to mock young master Chu. I just feel sorry and I am a little bit emotional.” Li Qi sighed and said to Hong Tao behind him: “Tao Zi, help young master Chu hold the box. We will send him out personally lest some boring juniors, who like to make fun of other people, make fun of young master Chu, and sadden him.”
Although the intention behind those words was not kind, those were kind words. I had a problem with both of them in the past, and the problems between us were implacable. It was as surprising as the sun rising in the west that he did not mock me at this moment. Not to mention that his attitude towards me suddenly changed 180 degrees. His unkind intention was so obvious that even a fool would be able to tell it.
“There is no need to trouble you two. It is just a few steps, I can walk out myself. In terms of being made fun of? It is not like those words would kill me.”
“You shouldn’t think it like this,” Li Qi said in a polite manner. I was just trying to be polite, but I didn’t expect that this guy didn’t want to give up. “an upright man is not afraid of gossip. Of course, I know that Young Master Chu is an upright man, and you don’t care about those rumors. But as your colleague, I don’t have the heart to see you leave like this.”
As expected of a team leader. This Li Qi really had a smooth tongue. Why didn’t I notice it before? This rhetoric sounded like he was complimenting me and trying to comfort me, and it would of course easily please people.
“Young Master Chu, we had some small conflicts in the past. Now that you are gone, we should also let the wind carry our disparity away. It is our fate that we got to know each other. In the past, I was being reckless, so I have offended you in many ways. Please allow me to hold the box for you and send you off. Consider this as my apology. I hope you will not hold a grudge against us in the future. If young master Chu still refuses it, it means that you are not willing to forgive us.”
Having said to this point, how could I still refuse it? Those two people either had evil intentions, or they took the wrong pill today. You have to know that Li Qi was famous for being a petty-minded person in the investment department.
“Young Master Chu, you don’t need to. . .” Hong Tao, who was as tall and thin as a bamboo, paused, frowned, and thought for a long time. It seemed that he wanted to find some good words to say, but unfortunately, he really didn’t know many good words, so he didn’t think of anything for a very long time. In the end, he simply laughed: “There is no need to be polite with us. I will hold the box, you can just hold Miss Cheng’s hand, haha.”
The smile was fake, the corners of his mouth were twitching, Hong Tao’s eyes clearly flashed with envy. It was understandable why he would feel envy. He had chased Liusu before, but Liusu outright rejected him. Seeing Liusu was being so intimate with me, it would be strange if he didn’t envy me.
Li Qi also echoed, “That’s right, I also happened to have something that I want to say with Young master Chu, so please let Tao Zi take the box.”
These two people, what exactly were they thinking? Regarding friendship, we only had enmity. Regarding the position, they were the leaders and I was just a little office worker. There was no reason for them to be so polite to me. Liusu also felt that there was something strange about their behavior. Although she blushed, she still held my hand tightly.
Anyway, no matter what they were planning to do, I was not afraid of them. So I let them take the box from me.
Hong Tao walked behind with the box in his arms. I took Liusu’s hand and walked side by side with Li Qi. When I walked out of this lobby, I would no longer have any affiliation with Fengchang Group. Therefore, Liusu did not mind showing our intimacy to everyone. On the contrary, she hoped everyone could see that she had been taken; so that once I left, people like Hong Tao and Zhang Mingjie would not harass her.
“Team Leader Li, I am no longer an employee of Fengchang. I wonder what you want to tell me?” The implication of my words was that we had no personal relationship.
Li Qi pretended that he didn’t understand my words and said seriously, “I heard that Young Master Chu had a fight with deputy general manager Zhang of the marketing department in the elevator yesterday, right?”
Liusu also saw me take the elevator with Zhang and Liu, those two people, yesterday. But she didn’t know that I had a fight with them. So when she heard this, she was startled.
I quickly smiled and said, “no, that never happened. I don’t know who is spreading this rumor.” I was defending myself at that time, and surveillance video in the elevator could prove it, so I was not afraid.
Li Qi has long since joined Vice Chairman Zhang Li’s faction. He was a trusted aide of Zhang Mingjie. It would be strange if he really believed me.
He chuckled, then sighed and said sternly, “In fact, Young Master Chu has misunderstood deputy general manager Zhang. Deputy general manager Zhang indeed secretly likes Miss Cheng. He knows that Miss Cheng will be sad if you leave the company, so he went to find young master Liu and hoped he would be able to intercede with the Chairman. . . Alas, but it was misunderstood by Young Master Chu. ”
Hearing Li Qi said that Zhang Mingjie secretly liked her, a disdained look flashed on Liusu’s face.
He had already said it out, what was secret about it? What his words actually meant was that I didn’t appreciate Young master Zhang’s kindness, and repay good with evil. With those words, it would make me look like an ungrateful person in front of Liusu.
Hearing this, I finally understood why he wanted to wait for me in the lobby. It turned out that he was here to be a matchmaker for Zhang Mingjie.
