The restaurant was neither too big nor too small, and it was quite expensive in the city center. Xu Yaxi kept flipping through the menu and muttered, "Why is it so expensive? I only dare to drink plain water. Momo, why don't you eat? I'll just watch."

Xu Yaxi wanted to act coquettishly, but no one answered her. She looked up at her and saw that she was happily staring at her phone, so she raised her voice and called out, "Qiao Mo!"

Qiao Mo snapped out of her daze and turned off her phone. She said apologetically, "Sorry, I spaced out."

"You need to change that habit of yours, Internet addict."

"…"

Xu Yaxi ordered the same thing as Qiao Mo and handed the menu to the waitress. Just as she was about to ask her about Gu Qingsheng, a shadow loomed over the table.

Zhang Yang smiled like a spring breeze and asked Qiao Mo politely, "Do you mind sharing a table?

I'll be alone. "

Qiao Mo didn't know him and was about to decline when Xu Yaxi immediately stood up and sat down beside Qiao Mo. "Of course. Have a seat."

She whispered to Qiao Mo, "This is the HR manager, Zhang Yang. He came to our department with the CEO last time to handle your resignation. I thought you knew him, but judging from your expression just now, I don't think we've met before."

Qiao Mo finally understood. He smiled at Zhang Yang and said, "Thank you for your help last time."

He draped his jacket over the back of the chair and replied politely, "What a coincidence. I was your sister's high school classmate, so I agreed without hesitation. I didn't expect that I wouldn't be of any help at all."

"Thank you so much."

Zhang Yang smiled. He was elegant and handsome. He had a completely different aura from Gu Qingsheng.

Both parties fell silent. Xu Yaxi couldn't stand the awkward atmosphere and said with a smile, "Manager Zhang, you're also a 'star' in the company. Why are you here alone? Where's your girlfriend?"

Qiao Mo pinched Zhang Yang's waist. Zhang Yang did not mind at all and said, "Don't tease me. I'm used to being alone. The HR department is not like the R&D department. Relationships are complicated and I'm too lazy to interact with others. So, I might as well be alone. As for a girlfriend …"

At this point, he suddenly stopped. His gaze seemed to fall on Qiao Mo as he said, "Not yet. It's time to prepare to look."

Xu Yaxi noticed this and pursed her lips without replying. She suddenly realized Zhang Yang's motive. She was struggling with herself whether to support the president or the manager.

Qiao Mo had been a little sensitive recently, and he also felt that something was amiss. He lowered his head and played with his phone, thinking about the mission that Gu Qingsheng had left for him.

In a hotel in City G.

Gu Qingsheng wasn't used to sleeping on the plane, so he took a quick shower in the hotel.

Because the schedule was tight, Lian Cheng walked in with his phone. He didn't even knock on the door. "Boss Gu, meeting at the hotel at three o 'clock in the afternoon."

He looked up and saw Gu Qingsheng buckling his belt. His upper body was naked, and his good figure was in full view. He looked at his small arms and legs and felt a little embarrassed.

Gu Qingsheng put on his white shirt and said coldly, "Next time, knock on the door."

Although the two of them were superior and subordinate, they were more familiar with each other. Now that Gu Qingsheng gave an order with a cold face, Lian Cheng was a little scared. He could only say, "Yes." Then he hid a thousand words in his heart. "Did you have a mistress outside? Why don't you spoil me anymore?"

After putting on his clothes, Gu Qingsheng walked out of the door. Lian Cheng followed him eagerly. At the elevator door, he said, "Give me two hours of free time in the morning or evening."

"Okay." Lian Cheng asked habitually, "What's the plan?"

"Go to G University."

"G University?" It sounded a little familiar.

He smiled and said calmly, "Yes, prepare the bait."

Lian Cheng didn't understand what he meant. He was about to ask someone to find the bait when Gu Qingsheng said again, "No, prepare the bait. I'll go by myself."

“？”

When Gu Qingsheng walked out of the hotel in a suit, Lian Cheng finally remembered. Momo graduated from G University!

Lian Cheng secretly sent a message to Xu Yaxi. "Boss Gu and Momo are definitely having an affair!"

At the dinner table, Xu Yaxi was still thinking about who to support. When he saw the message, he immediately changed sides with the president.

After dinner, Xu Yaxi didn't avoid Zhang Yang at all. He asked kindly, "What did you do with the president yesterday afternoon?"

Qiao Mo choked guiltily and coughed twice. Zhang Yang passed her cup to her. Qiao Mo took a sip while Xu Yaxi patted her back.

After he was done, Xu Yaxi glanced at her and said coldly, "You're feeling guilty, aren't you?"

She didn't want to say too much in front of others, but Qiao Mo thought it might be easier to explain why they worked together.

She rolled her eyes at him and said calmly, "Didn't I tell you?

The president and I are neighbors. "

"Dang!"

Qiao Mo was so surprised that her chopsticks fell to the ground. She was still in a daze. Zhang Yang had to bend down to pick it up.

"You, you … don't you live in Shangmei Garden?"

"Yes, Boss Gu is there too."

"That's not right. The president has always lived in the Li Mountain Villa District, which is quite far away."

It was a little strange. When Lian Cheng asked about it last time, he said that the bathroom was broken. But it had been so long, so it must have been fixed.

Qiao Mo found an excuse for him and said weakly, "I think he wants to renovate the bathroom."

"Bathroom?

It seems that the president is a very romantic person … "

"…"

Qiao Mo glanced at Zhang Yang helplessly. When their eyes met, he lowered his head silently.

After dinner, Xu Yaxi dragged Qiao Mo away from Zhang Yang. She insisted that there was a little secret between best friends and they walked in the opposite direction.

Seeing that they were getting farther and farther away from the company, Qiao Mo immediately grabbed her. "Xixi, where are we going? We'll be late if we don't go back now."

Xu Yaxi looked around and said, "Okay." Then she turned and walked back.

As she walked, she said to Qiao Mo, "I'm telling you, stay away from him when you see him in the future."

"He's quite nice."

Xu Yaxi poked her head in disappointment. "Didn't you see the way he looked at you?

He knows your sister, so he must know about your background. That's why he wants to seduce you so that he can rise to the top in one step. Think about it. Boss Gu is about the same age as him, but he's already the CEO. I heard that he's very good friends with the president of Ming Yu's headquarters. How can he compare to him? "

"Xixi, this is not good. He didn't do anything that crossed the line."

Xu Yaxi pouted and said, "I just think that he's not good enough for you."

"There's no such thing as good enough for me." Qiao Mo quickened his steps. "Let's go. We're going to be late."

"Then I'll go to your house for dinner another day. I want to know what it's like to be the president's neighbor!"

"Up to you."

"Hey, does the president know how to cook?"

"I'm not telling you …"

"Eh …"

When they returned to the company in the afternoon, Qiao Mo began to seriously think about what Gu Qingsheng said because there was not much to do.

Time passed very quickly when they worked seriously. When it was time to get off work, most of the people in the office had left. Xu Yaxi was ready to go home. Seeing that she was still standing there, he said, "Qiao Mo, hurry up and go home. It's almost winter. It's not safe to get dark early."

"Oh, okay."

She put the documents she needed into her bag and walked out of the office with Xu Yaxi.

At the door, they were going to go separate ways because they were not going the same way. However, someone honked in front of them and stopped a car in front of them. Zhang Yang, who was in the driver's seat, smiled and said, "It's on the way. Get in?"

Before Qiao Mo could answer, Xu Yaxi smiled and asked, "Manager Zhang, who's on the way? Momo and I are going in the opposite direction."

"I'm going back to my parents' house. It's on the way with Qiao Mo. I'm sorry, Miss Xu."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk. What a coincidence. Momo and I are going to …"

At the door, the wind blew past. Qiao Mo's ringtone was a little soft, as if it was blown away. Qiao Mo immediately took it out. When he saw that it was "Jiuyue", he walked away and picked it up.

Gu Qingsheng had just finished a three-hour meeting. His voice was hoarse and he asked, "Are you off work?

Are you going home alone? "

She looked up at Xu Yaxi, who was entangled with Zhang Yang, and said, "Yeah."

"I called the driver to pick you up. It's not safe to go home alone in my usual parking space."

"Huh?" Qiao Mo was surprised. After a moment, he said, "Thank … thank you."

He sat on the sofa in the hotel with a pillow behind him. He put it aside and asked flippantly, "How do you want to thank me?"

Qiao Mo pinched his eyebrows. He could imagine the mischievous look on Gu Qingsheng's face. Another gust of wind blew past. Qiao Mo turned his back to block the wind.

He heard the wind and knew that she was outside. He ordered, "Go to the parking lot now. Don't hang up. Pass the phone to the driver later."

He was decisive. At this moment, there was no room for refusal. Qiao Mo had no choice but to walk up to Xu Yaxi and say, "The driver is coming to pick me up. I'll be leaving first. Be careful."

Xu Yaxi didn't think much of it. He waved his hand and said goodbye.

As long as he wasn't in Zhang Yang's car, everything was fine. Besides, Qiao Mo had a strong background. It was normal for a driver to pick him up. She had completely forgotten that Qiao Mo usually took the subway home.

She waved at Zhang Yang again and turned to walk to the parking lot.

When they found the car, it was a low-key black BMW. The driver looked like an uncle. Qiao Mo nodded to him and said into the phone, "I'm here. You can talk to the driver … uncle."

"Okay. Get in the car. Don't let the wind blow."

He passed the phone through the window and said, "Uncle, it's Gu Qingsheng."

She opened the car door and got in. The wind was suddenly blocked. Qiao Mo rubbed his stiff face. The driver passed the phone back and said, "Boss Gu hasn't hung up yet."

"Okay."

She shrunk to the side and tightened her windbreaker. "What's wrong?"

"Nothing. I want to talk to you."

"…" This wasn't a small matter.

After thinking about it, Qiao Mo asked, "I don't think you always live in Shangmei Garden. Why don't you stay at your own house?"

He didn't expect her to suddenly ask this. He said gently, "You're not there."

He was being flirted with again.

After a moment of silence, he asked again, "Do you cook by yourself?"

"Yes. I prepared steak."

"It sounds like you're a good cook."

"I told you when I went to your house for a free meal. I can take care of myself."

Gu Qingsheng chuckled again. His voice was still seductive through the phone. Qiao Mo couldn't help but touch his little heart. He heard him say again, "Then I'm in for a treat in the future."

"…" President, you're still under observation. Do you know that?

Seeing the car drive into the neighborhood, Qiao Mo was a little embarrassed and angry. He said, "We're almost home. I can't talk to you anymore."

He didn't want to flirt with him anymore. He was afraid that he would explode. He was too far away and wouldn't be easy to coax. He said, "Okay. I have a video conference tonight. Good night in advance."

"Okay." Qiao Mo pouted and quickly hung up.

Lian Cheng stood at the door and knocked three times. When no one answered, he walked in. He happened to hear this and the corners of his mouth twitched. He asked curiously, "Boss Gu, are you in love?"

Gu Qingsheng was in a good mood. He raised his eyebrows and said, "Soon."

Why didn't I know?

You really have a mistress!

He asked tentatively, "Do I know that person?"

"You're so concerned about me … Lian Cheng, I don't like men."

It was rare for the cold and aloof Gu Qingsheng to make a joke. Lian Cheng was gossipy and asked directly, "Don't tell me it's Momo."

Gu Qingsheng raised his eyebrows. He didn't answer, but he silently admitted it.

He picked up the water on the table and took a sip. Lian Cheng was still digesting the unexpected news. He felt like he had been poached. Was this what it meant to be in a favorable position?
