Ginger-flavored candy

"..." Chen Qi rubbed his temples and nodded perfunctorily.

Lu Yanxiu immediately threw off the quilt and got out of bed, and brought a glass of water from the living room, "Plain water, I know you'll want to drink it when you wake up, it'll be cold by now."

"..." Chen Qi was taken aback for a moment, then took the water glass calmly, and drank a whole cup.

Lu Yanxiu took the empty cup again, "Do you want more?"

"..." Chen Qi shook his head, turned around and put on the quilt without intending to get up.

Lu Yanxiu glanced at the time. Although it was still early, he didn't feel sleepy anymore and started to put on his clothes.

"If you're still not feeling well, you can rest at home, the company is fine anyway."

Chen Qi closed his eyes, "I didn't plan to go to the company at first, didn't I go to the imperial capital to attend a seminar today?"

Lu Yanxiu suddenly realized, "Oh yes, when is the plane?"

"Nine o'clock."

"Well, do you want to leave the car for you? Or let the driver take you to the airport?"

"Let the driver pick me up." Chen Qi's hands under the quilt unconsciously clenched into fists, "By the way, let him pick up Professor Xu."

"...!" Lu Yanxiu, who was wearing a tie, suddenly froze, and there was a complex expression on his face, but he regained his composure in an instant, and then said lightly, "Okay."

This word is like a pair of invisible hands, pushing Chen Qi's heart into a bottomless abyss.

Afterwards, the two of them didn't communicate any more. After Lu Yanxiu washed up, he opened the door and left for work. The moment the door closed, Chen Qi seemed to hear the sound of his heart falling into the abyss and breaking.

"..." He curled up into a ball in pain, Lu Yanxiu, since I am so dispensable and insignificant to you, then I have nothing to be entangled with, you forced me to do all of this.

in the airport.

Xu Ran saw Chen Qi sitting on the chair from a distance, and he strode over, "I've kept you waiting for a long time, it's because the R&D department needs to clarify something, so I'm a bit late."

Chen Qi immediately stood up without too much expression, "It's not your problem, it's because I didn't tell you in advance, let's go."

Xu Ran didn't say anything more and silently followed behind. He didn't know whether to praise the two of them for their high professionalism or to say that they were scheming and capable of pretending. The relationship between once naked and naked was almost a misfire.

On the plane, he sat side by side with Chen Qi, and asked softly after a long time, "It won't be of much use if I go to this seminar."

Chen Qi seemed to have something on his mind, and kept resting on the chair with his eyes closed, "Who are you, Professor Yang Lanzhi?"

"That's my mentor, why did Mr. Chen mention him?"

Chen Qi just glanced at him, "That's right, he is a special guest for this seminar, probably because he heard that you are working in Baokang, so he specially called yesterday to ask me to bring it to this seminar." You, I want to take this opportunity to get together with you."

Xu Ran didn't seem particularly surprised, but just sighed with emotion, "It's true that I haven't seen his old man for a long time, but does this delay work? Mr. Chen can definitely refuse."

"..." Chen Qi didn't know why he agreed in a strange way, probably because he wanted to take this opportunity to test Lu Yanxiu's reaction, "Let's just treat it as a favor."

If Lu Yanxiu had even the slightest bit of dissatisfaction and jealousy this morning, he would immediately call Professor Yang to take back yesterday's promise, even if he backtracked and lost face in front of the respected seniors, it doesn't matter.

But obviously Lu Yanxiu's attitude slapped him hard.

Chen Qi's slightly evasive and strange eyes were all seen by Xu Ran, but he still thanked him as if nothing had happened, "Then I will first thank Mr. Chen for giving me and the teacher such a chance to get together again."

Chen Qi didn't make any reply, and continued to lean on the chair with his eyes closed, not sure if he was asleep or not.

When they arrived in the imperial capital, the two went straight to the seminar site without stopping. Xu Ran had greeted his teacher before the start.

Chen Qi felt drowsy at the beginning of the meeting. This kind of academic meeting was boring and incomprehensible. If it wasn't for the sake of face that he had to attend, he wouldn't bother to come.

Seeing the absent-minded people around him, Xu Ran leaned over and whispered in his ear, "Is it too boring, do you want me to accompany you out to get some air?"

When Chen Qi heard this, he immediately sat up straight, "No need."

Being alone with Xu Ran is more difficult than this boring academic conference.

After finally surviving to the end, Chen Qi stood up and stretched his tired neighbors and shoulders, but was stopped by Yang Lanzhi.

"Young Master Chen! Did I break your company's rules because of my call and selfishness?"

Chen Qi hurriedly took the hand extended by the old senior, "Where is it? I didn't have time to come to thank you in person for the matter of Baokang's fake medicine. Besides, such a meeting should only be attended by someone who understands like Professor Xu." Go out."

"Hahahaha, Lao Chen and I have been friends for many years, so I won't mention it if you don't thank me, but my student will be entrusted to Young Master Chen in the future!"

"There's nothing to ask, everyone takes what they need, and we will definitely have a happy cooperation."

"Yes, happy cooperation!" Yang Lanzhi glanced at Xu Ran beside him, "Young Master Chen, can I have a private chat with my student?"

Chen Qi turned his body slightly, "Please."

Hearing that Xu Ran supported Yang Lanzhi to go out, he said when he was far away, "Teacher, the students haven't come to see you for so long, and they contacted you again to ask you to help me do such a ridiculous thing. Please don't blame the students, teacher."

Yang Lanzhi smiled, "You silly boy, what's the matter? Besides, you didn't come to see me because I haven't been wandering around the country before. By the way, tell me, is it because of you that you asked me to make this call? lead?"

Xu Ran had a trace of embarrassment on his face, "I made the teacher laugh. The students are fighting for their own happiness recently, and that person today is the decisive factor in winning or losing this battle, so I dare to bother the teacher."

"No trouble, no trouble, I'm old, and I can't help much. You can tell me when the battle is declared victorious, and I will be happy too."

"Okay, then I will definitely have a drink with you."

Yang Lanzhi's driver was already waiting at the door, and he patted Xu Ran's hand, "Just send it here when you're done."

Xu Ran respectfully helped him into the car, "Goodbye, teacher."

He watched the car leave until it was out of sight before turning around, and when he turned around, he saw Chen Qi not far away.

He walked over, "Why stand here, just go to the car and wait for me"

Chen Qi looked at him, "I didn't expect Professor Xu to be so humble when facing the teacher."

"It was the teacher who made me, and I was recommended by the teacher until I joined Sai Rui. Without the teacher, there would be no Xu Ran now, so I really regard him as my father."

Chen Qi was not interested in hearing him thanking Dade here, so he turned around and wanted to walk in the direction of the car. While walking, he suddenly rushed out of a motorcycle and rode very fast.

With sharp eyes and quick hands, Xu Ran suddenly pulled Chen Qi back into his arms, which prevented Chen Qi from being scratched, and then blamed the person in his arms, "Why are you so careless?"

"..." Chen Qi was still a little dazed, and when he had a reaction, he immediately pushed Xu Ran away, cursed in the direction of the motorcycle just now, and got into his car angrily.

Xu Ran was driving the car, the hotel they were going to stay in was very close, and they arrived in a short while, Chen Qi was sitting in the co-pilot staring at the phone all the way, and clutching it in his hands when he got out of the car, as if he was waiting for something.

After entering the elevator, Xu Ran looked at him, "Are you waiting for Mr. Lu's call?"

"..." Chen Qi was very upset when his mind was seen through at a glance, and he quickened his pace, "Professor Xu cares too much?"

Xu Ran adjusted his glasses, "I have worked so hard to finally be able to get along with you alone, but how can I be reconciled to you still thinking about others?"

Chen Qi suddenly realized, shocked and disgusted, he grabbed Xu Ran by the collar and pushed him against the elevator wall, "What the hell do you mean?"
