Beijing and Hong Kong kiss

"So...are you considered to be single?"

During afternoon tea time, after listening to Su Li and Cheng Hao's blind date experience, Chen Lingling asked an uncertain question.

Su Li took a sip of coffee. After the bitter taste melted away from the tip of her tongue, a slight sweetness emerged.

"Uh... probably not. We just agreed that if our parents ask about the progress, we'll just give each other a perfunctory response."

Chen Lingling looked as if she had suddenly realized something. "It turns out that drama really comes from life. I watched an idol drama a while ago. The heroine and the blind date hero first agreed to fall in love, and then they became a couple."

After a pause, Chen Lingling winked at her.

"From what you said, Cheng Hao has both good financial resources and a good personality. Besides being divorced and having a five-year-old daughter, he is a perfect marriage partner. So you and him..."

Lin You said without hesitation: "Impossible."

Chen Lingling took back the stars in dismay, "Oh, boring. You are really boring."

Lin You: “…”

Chen Lingling sighed for a while: "What a pity, you have a face that is the nation's first love for nothing. If I were half as pretty as you, I would have to sleep with a little wolfdog in a week!"

Lin You twitched the corner of his mouth and looked around guiltily.

Seeing that her colleagues were far away and probably couldn't hear the fierce words Chen Lingling had just said, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing her cowardly look, Chen Lingling laughed exaggeratedly, "Don't worry, I only dare to say this in front of you..."

The phone rang, interrupting Chen Lingling's words.

When Chen Lingling saw that it was the department head calling, she made a gesture to Lin You to keep quiet before pressing the call button.

Lin You watched the smile on Chen Lingling's face disappear little by little, and then a shocked expression appeared on her face.

After hanging up the phone, Chen Lingling excitedly grabbed Lin You's shoulders, shook them like crazy, and almost broke her voice with excitement.

"Xiaoyou! Manager Wang has been fired!"

Lin You looked confused, "Finance Department?"

Chen Lingling nodded repeatedly, "It's that pervert in the Finance Department! It's really karma. This time the group's leadership finally opened their eyes and saw the dirtiest piece of shit in the company!"

At this moment, there were many colleagues taking a break in the tea room, and Chen Lingling was so excited that her voice was very loud.

When several female colleagues heard what she said, they ran over and surrounded her.

"Manager Wang from the Finance Department was fired? Is this true?"

"Is this fake news? His cousin is the director of the group. Who dares to fire him?"

"That's right. So many people reported him in the past, but he always dealt with them. Will this time be another case of much ado about nothing?"

The female colleagues asked at the same time, and the expressions on their faces were unexpectedly consistent.

Excited, doubtful, and nervous.

"Absolutely true news!"

Chen Lingling cleared her throat and announced, "The dismissal document signed by President Shi has arrived at the Human Resources Department. The leader asked me to handle the personnel change process!"

She waved to Lin You again, "I'm leaving first."

Lin You responded and watched her trot into the elevator.

The news that Manager Wang was fired spread quickly throughout the entire building, and even the cleaning ladies would whisper a few words about it while cleaning the windows.

After Lin You returned to his workstation, he opened the internal announcement group and saw the notification of personnel changes with his own eyes.

It is dismissal, not automatic resignation.

Her eyes fell on the notice, and the hand holding the mouse trembled slightly. She couldn't describe the feeling.

It’s like an orchid that I’ve carefully raised for ten years has already died, but I couldn’t bear to throw it away. But when I woke up one morning, I saw that it had sprouted new buds.

With this mood, she waited until the end of the get off work day in a daze.

While I was packing my things, a message came in on my phone.

She opened the chat window and saw the sender's profile picture. She couldn't help but be stunned.

Shi Jingyuan: Don't you still owe me a meal? You can thank me on behalf of all the female employees.

This was the first time they had contacted each other since they added each other as friends.

So this sentence is displayed abruptly at the top of the dialog box.

After a while, Lin You quickly typed a line of small words.

"Okay, Mr. Shi. When are you free? What would you like to eat?"

After the message was sent, he replied quickly.

"Tonight. You choose the place."

After receiving the message, Lin You carefully considered and chose a wild mushroom hotpot restaurant that was cost-effective, clean and hygienic.

She called ahead to reserve a seat and sent him the store location.

*

Today is a weekday and there are not many customers in the wild mushroom hotpot restaurant. Because reservations were made in advance, the store has reserved a small bag.

On the way here, Lin You repeatedly thought about the purpose of Shi Jingyuan's meal.

With his status, he definitely has no shortage of food, so what he wants must be something else.

What was there in her that was worth his desire?

The last time he helped her, he wanted her to provide valuable information about the company.

Then this time...

Manager Wang from the Finance Department has a strong background, and Mr. Shi dismissed him. There must have been a lot of twists and turns behind the scenes.

He did it, so he must have hoped to be recognized. In addition, he sent a message asking her to thank him on behalf of all the female employees...

Therefore, what Shi always wants is to get emotional value from her!

Lin You figured it out and felt relieved.

If Shi Jingyuan knew that she had come to such a conclusion after this "in-depth" analysis, he would probably vomit three liters of blood!

At 7:10, Shi Jingyuan arrived late.

Lin You glanced behind him and asked, "Mr. Shi, are you here alone?"

Shi Jingyuan chuckled unhappily, "He Xuan's girlfriend has her birthday tonight, so I gave him a day off."

"Oh."

I thought there were at least three people eating, but suddenly it became just her and Mr. Shi.

"Why? Miss Lin is treating He Xuan to this meal?"

Shi Jingyuan sat down opposite her and asked jokingly.

Lin You waved his hands repeatedly, "No, no, I just asked casually. I sincerely want to invite Mr. Shi to dinner alone today!"

Shi Jingyuan raised his eyebrows, "Really?"

Lin You was serious and started praising people, determined to provide the greatest emotional value for Mr. Shi.

"Last time, I was reckless and caused a lot of trouble for Mr. Shi. Not only did Mr. Shi not only forgive me, but he was also considerate and caring. I admire his broad mind very much."

"This time, President Shi overcame all difficulties and pressure from all sides. He cleared out the corrupt officials in the company with lightning speed and brought justice to the female employees. He was like a ray of Buddha's light, shining everywhere..."

The more Shi Jingyuan listened, the more he felt something was wrong, and then his expression became more and more intriguing.

He watched her warm lips opening and closing, as if she was tired and thirsty, and he secretly licked his dry lips.

Shi Jingyuan poured a cup of tea and handed it to her.

Lin You took it and took a sip.

Shi Jingyuan smiled faintly and asked, "Ms. Lin...how many points did you get in Chinese in the college entrance examination?"

Lin You opened his eyes wide, bewildered, "It's been too long, I can't remember clearly..."

Shi Jingyuan: "I guess it's definitely full marks."

Lin You: “Hmm?”

Shi Jingyuan listed the evidence with a half-smile, "If he wasn't a top candidate who scored full marks in the college entrance examination essay, how could he have written such a gorgeous, uh...little essay to please the leader?"

Lin You was suddenly stunned, and his cheeks turned red as he carefully recalled what he had just said.

Even words like "Buddha's light shines everywhere" were said?

It seems... a little bit exaggerated?

What a shame!

Lin You drank water tactically and finished a cup of tea in one gulp, with a very heroic movement.

Shi Jingyuan chuckled again, picked up the teapot and poured her another cup.

"Thank you for your hard work, Miss Lin. You've been so thirsty from praising me. Don't worry, there's plenty of tea. Miss Lin, you can continue."

Lin You: “…”
