Mr. Li, you are out of favor

Looking at these messy news on the Internet, and thinking about Li Sheng's attitude when he asked about it earlier, Gao Qingman vaguely guessed something, and an inexplicable feeling of discomfort flashed in his heart.

But think about it, how could it be possible that a man like Li Sheng has never been in love?
Putting down the mouse, Gao Qingman was about to get up, when Yu Guang put it on the unfinished cake again, and couldn't help but think of the one he made yesterday to seek peace with Li Sheng.

A sea-salt milk-covered cake was left all night, and it is unlikely that it will be delicious anyway. Gao Qingman sighed and shook his head helplessly. It is really not a good habit to waste it, but he just forgot about it yesterday.

While thinking wildly, the phone rang.

"Hey?"

"Did yesterday's apology go well?"

It was Qiao Shoujun who called. He was very happy to hear the voice. He seemed to be in a state of blood every day. No matter what time of day, he was full of energy.

"Uh...it should be considered smooth."

Gao Qingman thought of the embarrassing things that happened last night completely uncontrollably, and replied with some embarrassment.

"What should be the answer? Do you have time to treat dinner tonight? I want to get back yesterday's tuition!"

Qiao Shoujun chuckled on the other end of the phone, as if he was very surprised by her answer.

"Tonight, okay, what do you want to eat, I'll book a table now."

After thinking about it, there should be no big event tonight, so Gao Qingman immediately agreed.

Although I am currently studying the land issue, all the reports will not be available until the afternoon. It is estimated that the actual confirmation of the site situation and negotiations will be tomorrow's work, and today I should be able to leave work early.

After thinking about it briefly, although she had enough time, she didn't know what to treat her guests to.

"Forget about booking a table, let's go to the snack street near Xuefu Road. It is said that it is quite popular there, just like when we were in school."

Speaking of that familiar street, Gao Qingman was a little dazed, and the picture of going out with Li Sheng before flashed before his eyes.

It seemed that he was a very conspicuous person that day, everyone on the street was staring at him, and even himself would stare at him subconsciously afterwards.

Li Sheng, who observed the citron tea carefully, really had a different charm from usual.

"What's the matter? If you don't like it, then let's eat Thai food? Or Japanese food?"

Probably because she didn't say a word on the phone, Qiao Shoujun waited for a long time before asking tentatively.

"No, why don't you like it? It's too late for me to be grateful for treating you to dinner and saving money!"

Awakened by the sudden voice, Gao Qingman came back to his senses and responded to the microphone with a dry smile.

A strange feeling flashed in my heart. I don't know why, but the originally ordinary snack street seems to have been endowed with some special meaning, and now as long as it is mentioned, it will feel a little awkward.

On the other side, sitting in the small office of the guild hall, Li Sheng concentrated on looking down at something, his brows were always tightly furrowed, his eyes were a little dignified, he didn't know what he was looking at.

"President Li, besides these, there is another possibility that you need to take a look at."

Lan Lang, who was standing on the other side of the desk, handed over another folder again, with a more cautious tone than usual, as if worried about Li Sheng's reaction when he saw this document.

"...Oh, I see."

After taking the things Lan Lang handed over, Li Sheng glanced roughly, with a contemptuous smile on the corner of his mouth, he didn't say much, just nodded, and waved the other party away.

What is on the table is a resume of a woman, of course it is not the kind of resume used to apply for a company. In addition to the most basic content, it also includes who is this person, what is the relationship with him, where he lives at the moment, and the recent What have you been doing for a while.

And in the upper left corner of this resume, in the column with the name written, it clearly printed - Liu Jingmei.

Underneath this resume was written Li Xuewen.

Looking at the life of the two people on the table who could sum it up in a few simple words, Li Sheng couldn't help thinking of the woman who never thought of the consequences and only knew how to work hard.

In fact, she is nothing more than a little woman who likes to save face, but because of her experience, she is forced to become a desperate person. No matter what she does, she dares to fight so hard. I saw her strength first, and then I saw her in the past. This feeling is really true. People can't describe it in words.

Did you say it hurts?
It seems more than that.

Sitting there in silence for a while, Li Sheng was thinking about something in his head, suddenly picked up the phone on the corner of the table, and dialed a series of numbers.

"Hey?"

After the busy tone, a sweet female voice came from the opposite side. It sounded like a professional false voice of telephone customer service, but only those who really knew her would know that this woman was by no means a simple person.

"How long will the project I mentioned to you before take?"

Without a word of pleasantries, Li Sheng spoke into the microphone indifferently, speaking in a very formulaic way.

"About two months, what happened?"

"I'm in charge of the other part, just proceed as I said before."

Li Sheng lowered his eyes, his eyes fell on the two resumes again, his tone became a little more serious, and he was about to hang up after speaking on the phone, but the moment he took his ears away, he heard the other party's voice.

"Aren't you willing to say a word to me except for business?"

The voice of the woman on the opposite side was more tender, but at the same time, it was a little more hoarse and haggard than before.

"Between you and me, there should only be business matters to discuss. If we talk about private matters, we will not be able to tell the result for three days and three nights."

Putting the phone next to his ear again, Li Sheng reached out and grabbed the pen on the table, subconsciously began to fiddle with it.

If people who are familiar with him see his behavior at this moment, they only need to take a look to know that Li Sheng is deliberately pretending to be calm.

"Actually, what happened back then..."

"The past is over, and time will cover it up."

Not giving the other party a chance to talk about those things, Li Sheng was a little excited, interrupted the other party, and hung up immediately after speaking.

Before hanging up, I heard the other party chattering.

"Actually, what I can explain is that it was just a careless..."

The so-called explanation should be useful only in time, otherwise it cannot be called an explanation, it can only be regarded as useless nonsense.

Looking at the phone screen that was getting darker, Li Sheng sat on the chair expressionlessly and didn't move for a long time.

Although the face is still stubborn, in fact, how can a person's heart listen to reason? Time can heal this incident, but not the wound behind it.

Even if one day, he can deal with it with a smile, at least it won't be now.

After looking at the time, Li Sheng stood up, grabbed a piece of clothing, and left the hall.

At noon, when Gao Qingman got off work, Li Sheng parked his car on the road opposite Gao's Group, sat quietly in the car and waited for her to come out, seeing familiar and unfamiliar people come out one by one , but still did not see that familiar figure.

He took out his mobile phone and wanted to call her, but as soon as he got it in front of him, he received her call first.

"Um, hello?"

Gao Qingman seemed to be a little hesitant, and he hesitated before speaking.

"Say."

Keeping his gaze fixed on the gate of the Gao Group, Li Sheng replied calmly.

"where are you now?"

"what's up."

Without answering her question, Li Sheng subconsciously looked up the door, recalling the structure of Gao Qingman's office in his mind, no matter from the card slot in her office or from Shen Gaoyu's office, he probably couldn't see it. The car is right.

Why did you suddenly ask this?
"I... left my coffee-making stuff in your guild hall yesterday, is it convenient to go and get it by myself?"

At this moment, Gao Qingman was sitting in the booth, carefully holding the phone and asking, to be honest, he was a little guilty.

After all, it wasn't something valuable. If it wasn't for going out to eat with Qiao Shoujun today, Gao Qingman probably wouldn't be so anxious to get it back.

No matter what Qiao Shoujun said, Gao Qingman subconsciously thought that those things were received and needed to be returned.

"Are you looking for an excuse to visit me?"

Facing the phone in silence for a moment, Li Sheng put on a half-smile on the corner of his mouth, and said jokingly in a rare frivolous tone.

"Excuse? No, I borrowed that thing from a friend, and I agreed to return it to him at night."

Hearing this voice, Gao Qingman was a little hesitant, and for a long time decided that it would be better not to speak out, but deliberately found an excuse to prevaricate.

"friend……"

When mentioning friends related to coffee, the first thing Li Sheng thought of was of course Qiao Shoujun.

He had learned about that man in detail before, he was a man with an unusual back, and he didn't know why he got close to Gao Qingman, but when he thought that the coffee she came to share with him yesterday was taught by that man himself, Li Sheng's heart sank. Inexplicably upset.

"Well, he is a very good friend. If you don't return it, it's not very good."

The words have already been said to this extent, Gao Qingman also felt that it was difficult for him to take back, even if he regretted it, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue.

"A lot of money? Buy it and give it to me."

Gao Qingman's words are not an explanation to Li Sheng, they can only be regarded as adding fuel to the fire.

Is Qiao Shoujun a good friend?

what about me?
He knew very well that this was a naive idea, but Li Sheng still stubbornly thought about it, and refused to do what she wanted.

"If you like it, I'll buy a better set for you next time, and make coffee for you myself. After all, I borrowed this set."

Hearing this answer, Gao Qingman really regretted it completely. Originally, it was just because he didn't want to owe Qiao Shoujun a favor, but he didn't expect that because of this trivial matter, it would become more and more complicated.

"Then when will you bring a new one, and when will I return this to you?"

Once a man who is usually too mature to be immature becomes naive, there is really no cure.

Especially someone with a high IQ like Li Sheng who is also stubborn.

"...Then when are you in the guild hall? Is it convenient for me to go there now?"

After being silent for a long time, Gao Qingman tried his best to endure the tumbling urge in his heart, wanting to curse directly, and asked in a calm tone as much as possible.

"I don't know, I'll call you when I have time."

The more he heard what she said, the more unhappy Li Sheng felt. While speaking, he started the car and left the door of the Gao Group directly.
