Chapter 04

He didn't say much, he just asked me if I was accustomed to the new environment. I didn't expect that the president actually remembered that I had just moved in

"Xiao Hang, what are you doing here?" Reng Reng greeted him with surprise.

Let him be astonished, "Haven't you always been bent?" Did he think Lu Fang was the President of the country? What is there to be excited about in a conversation.

You are truly good-looking. Upon hearing Xiao Hang's question, Rang Rang immediately searched for a suitable response in his mind. Xiao Hang is a child lacking in confidence, so as long as you cater to his preferences, he is quite easy to handle.

The only aspect that felt somewhat uncomfortable for Qing Rangrang was the constant sensation that Lu Fang's footsteps were right above her head. Sometimes, she could even hear his footsteps on the ninety-fifth floor. This was, of course, an illusion, but Qing Rangrang still felt a bit awkward. In the past, when they were in the game, they were equal and loved each other, but now it had turned into a relationship of one being higher and the other lower, of exploitation and being exploited

Let us, this year for the New Year, return to our hometown together

Only when you allow someone to see the three black stripes on your forehead does your vanity seem to deflate like a balloon that has been punctured

Qing let out a disdainful eye roll, continuing to sit down and catch her breath. Damn that Duo Duo Di, making her excited for nothing. It turned out this matter had nothing to do with her at all. She had thought that Lu Fang was getting close to Duo Duo Di to inquire about her news.

In my childhood, my family did not have the means, and I could not compare with the children in big cities who had a rich variety of extracurricular studies. This has always been a source of pain for Qing Rang Rang. Now that I have finally developed a special skill in brewing coffee, I can naturally hold my head high.

"It doesn't matter." His voice sounded icy in the summer, and every pore of his body was soothed by the caress of his voice

The afterglow of the setting sun streamed through the car window, casting a warm light on Xiao Hang's head, reminiscent of that day six years ago. Let Let had thought that the sunlight would form a halo around Xiao Hang's head as well, but today it seemed that the sun was still the sun, and Xiao Hang was still Xiao Hang. Let Let's thoughts became increasingly confused; she had always believed that the halo surrounding Lu Fang that day was a natural phenomenon. Yet now, as she reflected on it, the distance of memory rendered that scene mysterious and ethereal. Xiao Hang remained Xiao Hang, and Let Let's thoughts continued to drift in confusion. She had always thought that the halo surrounding Lu Fang that day was a natural phenomenon, but now, in light of the distant memory, that moment had also become mysterious and ethereal.

After several days of YY, during which all the clichéd plot twists failed to materialize, she finally resolved to take matters into her own hands and conduct the experiment herself. After Qing let herself bump into Lu Fang, she quickly lowered her head and apologized, "President, I am sorry"

That night, Qing Rangan used the excuse of strict family discipline for the Nth time to dismiss Xiao Hang's illicit intentions.

You let it go without realizing how much you gritted your teeth at your indifference towards him. However, one thing is certain: their acquisition of that company has nothing to do with you.

Qing Rerang sat on the chair, panting heavily, while Duo Duo Di walked in from outside, full of excitement and with a gleam in his eyes. "Heavens, Rerang, do you know who I just ran into?" Duo Duo Di exclaimed, pounding his chest.

As soon as Qing stepped out of the company gate after work, she saw a sharply dressed man standing at the entrance, holding a large bouquet of flowers.

Qing Rangrang almost wanted to dig her ears out. Is this really the man's proposal speech? She took a deep breath and, considering that he had a car and a house, and that his parents had passed away, she endured it. There are not many candidates for husbands like him. He is not good-looking, lacks charm, and there is no need to worry about any scandal. Therefore, Qing Rangrang widened her eyes again, revealing a look of surprise and shyness, "Alright."

Since then, Qing Rangan has not fantasized about Lu Fang anymore, although they always encounter each other at work. She has come to rationally believe that this is due to their similar work schedules, as she works at fixed hours almost every day. By this reasoning, the CEO must also work at fixed hours.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Xiao Hang was originally focused on driving, but Qing Rang's gaze was too intense, so he had to turn his head. This woman is considerate and rational, with a decent income, which meets his requirements for a partner. Moreover, she possesses an appearance suitable for social occasions, yet she is not one to pride herself solely on her looks. Her usual attire is simple and unadorned, and she does not spend money frivolously. This woman is considerate and rational, with a decent income, which meets his requirements for a partner. Moreover, she possesses an appearance suitable for social occasions, yet she is not one to pride herself solely on her looks. Her usual attire is simple and unadorned, and she does not spend money frivolously.

Rang Rang hurriedly apologized, acknowledging that it was indeed inappropriate to use her fingers like orchid petals to point at someone. "What did he say to you?" The small flame of hope that had been extinguished in Rang Rang's heart flickered back to life.

You should hold your head high and stand tall. Thanks to her experience working in a small café back in the day, she later took the initiative to obtain a barista certification, which is one of her few specialties. During her school years, she despised filling out forms; while others listed a plethora of talents such as piano and violin, she always had none.

Since it is your first day at work here, I naturally have to come to pick you up. Xiao Hang's car is the Polo that Rang Rang likes, an economical and practical model

While it is natural to express one's feelings, you still did not give it much thought, adhering to the attitude of only clearing the snow in front of your own door

She is not willing to become a housewife so early

When Qing Rangrang returned home from Xiao Hang's house holding a bouquet, she noticed that the lights in her neighbor's room were surprisingly on, and it seemed like there was a shadow on the windowsill. Qing Rangrang was somewhat astonished, not expecting that the house next door had actually been sold. The previous landlord was quite a character, selling the same house for double the market price. At that time, Qing Rangrang thought that this person was either crazy for money or had their head squeezed by the door. Unfortunately, the facts proved that she, Qing Rangrang, was the one who had lost her mind. There are plenty of fools in this world; who would buy such an expensive house?

Qing Rangrang lowered her head to glance at her hands, which were "the hands of someone engaged in artistic work." Cooking was certainly not a household chore she enjoyed, yet Xiao Hang was particularly fond of having a wife who took care of the home. This was one of the reasons why, in an era where marriages happen faster than lightning, Qing Rangrang and Xiao Hang had been dating for a year without managing to live together.

"Qing, do not judge others by their appearance." Duo Duo stomped his foot and pointed his orchid finger at Rang Rang

It is said that after fifteen days of coincidentally encountering Lu Fang at work every day, she increasingly felt that Lu Fang was completely unaware of her existence, as his expressions and gaze were indeed quite indifferent. Moreover, he had never made an excuse to check on her.

By the end of the day, Qing Rangan felt that although these colleagues appeared to possess the arrogance of high-level white-collar workers, they were no different from the aunties selling miscellaneous goods on the street when it came to gossiping. Therefore, as long as one had the means to infiltrate the enemy's ranks, everything would be easier to handle, and no one would point at her T-shirt and laugh.

However, strange things still happened after Qing Ranyang had a hard time convincing herself not to indulge in unhealthy fantasies

"Oh, it was prepared by the company for the guest. She didn't take it when she left, so I brought it to you," Xiao Hang replied casually. He and Qing Rang had been in a relationship for almost a year, but they had already settled into a routine akin to that of an old married couple.

Xiao Hang indeed smiled very happily and turned his head to look at Rang Rang with unusual joy, "If you didn't wear glasses, your eyes would be very beautiful."

"In the evening, will you cook for me?" Xiao Hang parked the car next to a vegetable market, and it was clear that this was no longer a question.

What made you think of giving me flowers today? This is truly unprecedented; he never gave me flowers when they first started dating. So, Qing, let me say that today I am in a good mood, feeling that the man I found is quite satisfactory in every aspect. Just now, when a large group of desperate women downstairs in the company looked at me with envious eyes, my vanity experienced an unprecedented boost.

However, it is better for life to be simpler. You should shake your head and plan to shake off the dark clouds above.

"Bob, please help this young lady pick up her things." His attitude was quite good, simply excellent. When she accidentally bumped into him, not only did he not blame her, but he also asked his assistant Bob to help her pick up her belongings. This attitude was truly impeccable, exhibiting such politeness and detachment that it left no room for any speculation.

Alright. Letting out a brilliant smile, Xiao Hang particularly enjoys Ran Ran's smile, which is filled with admiration and affection, inexplicably satisfying his heart. Although she is extremely reluctant in her heart, when she treats Xiao Hang as a career to manage, she inevitably has to adhere to the principle that the customer is always right.

The first day at A & E was quite refreshing, filled with fresh faces and new experiences. There were handsome men and beautiful women to admire, as well as appetizing Chinese and Western cuisine. One cannot help but praise the culinary skills of the chefs in the A & E staff cafeteria, which rival those of any five-star chef. For the sake of these chefs, Qing Rangan was even willing to come in on weekends to enjoy the meals. Later, Qing Rangan learned that the chefs in that cafeteria were indeed five-star chefs hired by the company at a high cost. It must be said that even though Lu Fang is a ruthless capitalist, he still manages to win people's hearts.

Qing Rangrang dragged her lazy footsteps up to the office. Although the fantasies had faded, maintaining her figure was still necessary. In a fit of frustration, Qing Rangrang only took the elevator for two-thirds of the way before she began to climb the stairs.

On one occasion, Qing Rangrang, driven to madness by boredom and eager to validate her viewpoint, deliberately bumped into Lu Fang while at work, causing the contents of her bag to scatter everywhere. She had intentionally placed a pack of sanitary napkins in her bag to attract attention. If this tactic proved ineffective, she could rest easy. As the saying goes, one is not afraid of a thief stealing but rather of a thief keeping an eye on them. Every day, Qing Rangrang was driven to the brink of insanity by the question, "Does Lu Fang know that she is the one who doesn't have it?"

On the second day, when Qing Rangrang stepped through the doors of A & E, she encountered the highest leader of the building once again. However, he had already entered his exclusive elevator, his gaze coldly sweeping through the crowd, yet seemingly unfocused, thus Qing Rangrang naturally did not register in his sight

Qing Rangrang brewed a pot of free, fragrant coffee in the company's pantry. Taking a deep breath of the coffee's aroma, she felt that, although she did not know where the coffee grounds came from, they were certainly incomparable to the supermarket's three-in-one. A & E is truly a place where once you arrive, you do not want to leave, Qing Rangrang sighed.

Letting out a sigh of relief, she touched her chin, realizing that Lu Fang's intention to acquire that small company was not aimed at her

Qing Rerang rested her elbow on the car window, stabilizing her head as she tilted it to look at Xiao Hang's profile. He was neither tall nor handsome, but at first glance during their blind date, Rerang could tell he was a down-to-earth man. Having lost his parents early, he grew up with his aunt, and the man, whose childhood was not particularly happy, seemed to evoke women's sympathy easily. Although he did not understand romance or thoughtfulness, he excelled in being frugal and practical in daily life.

"Oh, let me through, I didn't expect you to be such a good coffee maker!" Duoduo's nose was quite sensitive; as soon as he caught a whiff of the aroma, he rushed over and snatched a cup of coffee.

Her five-year vow of celibacy was shattered by this man, as he perfectly matched the image she had envisioned for her future husband, or rather, the expectations her parents had for their son-in-law

Letting out a breath, "The president is truly handsome, so approachable, and even took the initiative to speak to me. I feel like I might be turned around by him," Duoduo said, her eyes brimming with tears of excitement.

The glimmer in her eyes rippled gently, and with a tender and sweet smile, illuminated by the sunlight, Xiao Hang couldn't help but sincerely think about how enchanting she must look when dressed up.
