belated antidote

Chapter 37

Tang Yueze directly booked the well-known Simuqing bar in this city, and held a small party.Although Qi Dongqing didn't know much about bar culture and didn't go in and out of these places very often, he accompanied Xia Zelan about a year ago, and he was deeply impressed by the balcony on the second floor where he could directly see the scenery of the river.

The facade of the Smoothie Bar is a very ordinary coffee shop. There are Italian machines and some hand pouring pots on the bar counter, and there are a few small cakes that have not been sold during the day in the freezer window, which is very deserted.

The unremarkable storefront is just a disguise for the appearance, Qi Dongqing pushes open the movable door on the right side which is integrated with the wall, and the hidden world inside is revealed.The display cabinets on the entire wall are filled with wines of various colors, and the colored lights on the top of the cabinets hit the glass bottles, creating a dreamlike haze of colorful lights.

Qi Dongqing came early, and the waiters were busy serving dishes at the moment, there were only a few people present, almost all of them were the main organizers.He hesitated at the bar for a while, and finally decided to do as the Romans do, and ordered a cocktail that wasn't too dizzy.

The colorful wine flows freely between different containers, leaving traces similar to those of sea waves when it cuts through the air, and finally a piece of fresh-cut pineapple is slightly rippling in the goblet.

Qi Dongqing nodded his thanks, before he had time to pick up the wine glass, he heard someone call him: "Holly flower!"

Tang Yueze's usual enthusiastic voice was very recognizable, and Qi Dongqing knew it was him without looking back.

"You still have a good eye. This place is very interesting." Qi Dongqing held up his wine glass and touched it lightly in the air. "It's hard for you to be busy today."

"The design is ingenious so you won't be bored." Tang Yueze didn't seem as relaxed as his tone, "My most reliable office director, can I ask you to help sign in and guide me later? There was something wrong with the meal in the kitchen just now , I have to deal with it."

Qi Dongqing quickly responded: "No problem, Mr. Tang, don't worry and leave it to me."

After 07:30, everyone came one after another, and the small reception table by the door suddenly became crowded.Fortunately, Qi Dongqing's muscle memory honed by major school-level meetings during her student days was deep enough to handle this kind of leisure and entertainment with ease, and neatly arranged for everyone to sign and leave messages on the wall.

The office is the hub of the school council. Qi Dongqing and most people from other departments have met each other. Except for a few who are more acquainted, the others, even though they are nodding acquaintances, have given him enough face, and they will exchange a few pleasantries more or less if.

It was almost eight o'clock, Qi Dongqing glanced at the names on the booklet that hadn't been marked, and found that there were still two acquaintances who hadn't arrived, and was thinking whether to shout in the group, when suddenly a familiar voice came from above his head.

"haven't seen you for a long time……"

The difficult voice lost its authenticity in the repeated friction, and after suppressing the emotions, it finally turned into a contrived dullness.Since childhood, Qi Dongqing has heard it lose its milky smell, become crisp, and finally get darker. It is clear that this is not its original appearance.

As for the reason why it became so complicated now, he didn't want to mention it, so he could only maturely pretend to be stupid.

"Long time no see, Lin Jin." Qi Dongqing raised her head, and could only smile politely when she met the blatant eyes that suddenly poured down like mountain rain.

The warm smile was like a piece of cloth that erased all traces. Song Linjin was hurt by this polite alienation, but he could only grit his teeth and bow his head to sign in.

The Song family is one of the most important drug dealers in Hechuntang. He and Qi Dongqing grew up together. The deep friendship is hard to fade away, but because of his stubbornness, now there is a smell of helplessness in it.Song Linjin always regrets that her impulsive entanglement hurt Dongqing, but it is not easy to let go of this thought that has been hidden for more than ten years.

Qi Dongqing handed over the marker pen and deliberately pinched the far end to avoid physical contact to the greatest extent.For unnecessary misunderstandings, he has always shown determination and cruelty that are out of character.He didn't look at what Song Linjin wrote on the message board, he only knew that there was a meaningful smile on his lips when the other party returned the pen.

Qi Dongqing didn't think it was very handsome, on the contrary, there was a trace of unexplainable horror.

"Is everything going well in the branch library?" Song Linjin opened the conversation as easily as possible.

"It's all good, and my family is very helpful. They told me to set up my own family, but in fact, they would advertise me whenever they came to see a doctor." Qi Dongqing nodded, "I would also like to thank you for your willingness to come out and support me."

When Dongqing mentioned that she wanted to open a branch to specialize in pediatric Chinese medicine, she was alone at home. When Song Linjin came to visit, she helped her grandpa and said a lot of good things.

"Why are you being polite to me?" Song Linjin obviously hadn't drunk yet, but he had tasted a strong bitterness, "Holly, do we have to pretend to be strangers like this..."

"Chairman Song, why did you come here? Hurry up and punish yourself with two cups!"

Someone saw Song Linjin, and immediately enthusiastically stuffed a glass of champagne into his hand.Song Linjin's original words were dismissed by the surrounding crowd, even if he felt resentment in his heart, he could only socialize first.

Qi Dongqing quickly lowered her eyes, avoiding the focused sight, and wanted to slip away in the chaos, but she didn't know what was the good thing. Seeing the two of them standing together, she picked up the old taboo pot: "Hey, Chairman Song Is it about to reunite with Director Qi?"

Qi Dongqing recognized this person. He had been late and left early at management meetings many times without reason, and he had been downgraded according to the rules and regulations during the human resources evaluation. After that, this person had a unilateral grievance with him.Thinking about it now, this stinging provocation was revenge for not being rated as an excellent backbone at the colonel level at that time.

Qi Dongqing felt a little pity in her heart, she never thought that people's minds can be so narrow-minded, they don't know self-reflection, but they still want to push their mistakes to others, and they still care about it to this day.

As soon as these words came out, it was as if a sharp knife knocked on the taboo lock.This "love affair" that had been passed on in the school assembly for many sessions now naturally became a topic of conversation, and everyone started to be casual with a little bit of drunkenness, recalling the details at that time one after another.

"Having said that, when the management was welcoming the newcomers, the confession planned by Chairman Song was too romantic. Taking advantage of asking Director Qi to come out to play a game, he led him into the string of stars in the back. I envied the dead."

"I still remember that bouquet of roses. Director Qi was shy and didn't have the nerve to accept them. He even shared them as game rewards. I kept them in the dormitory for several days."

Song Linjin's liking was too selfish, and Qi Dongqing couldn't avoid it, and even rejected it clearly after knowing it.However, he believed that he was close to the water, and he was sure to win, and he even made it clear during the dinner of the two families.When they were young, Song Linjin used the joke of "getting married" between the two families as a magic weapon for chasing people, and Qi Dongqing was not easy to get angry at the dinner table in front of the elders of both parties, so he could only evade it on the grounds of concentrating on his studies.

Song Linjin didn't seem to have expected Qi Dongqing to be so cruel in matters of relationship. This kind of determination, which was completely opposite to the gentleness in the past, stimulated his self-esteem, so he planned this public confession. Forced Qi Dongqing to agree.

The result was obvious, Qi Dongqing calmly refused to confess, and despite receiving unfriendly scrutiny from everyone, she still smoothed things over for the mastermind who caused him to be pointed out by others, took care of Song Linjin's face, and swallowed most of the grievances herself.

But Song Linjin understood the disappointed look in the other party's eyes and the extremely shallow but helpless sigh. If it hadn't been for the consideration of growing up together, this matter would not have been exposed as a joke in the first place——

In his opinion, Qi Dongqing's kindness is definitely a kind of implicit humiliation.

This incident was like a sharp knife, cutting out the sincerity between the two of them as friends, leaving only the fragile politeness to maintain the relationship.

"You two stand together really well. I didn't have a chance at the beginning. I don't know if there will be sparks when you looked at each other just now?"

"Chairman Song is now the R&D director of Langshan Pharmaceutical. He is so young and promising, how many people are staring at him. Director Qi, if you are too reserved, you will miss the opportunity. Don't let such a good person go."

The seemingly well-intentioned matching was full of unintentional offenses, and Qi Dongqing, who was deliberately interpreted, was extremely embarrassed, and cracks rarely appeared on the impeccable smile on his face when he was in a dilemma.No matter how good-tempered he is, he still doesn't want to be put on the stage to make fun of these old scandals. This not only disrespects him, but also is very unfair to Zhong Huaiyuan.

As for Song Linjin, although the scars were ripped open, it was his own fault, but it was not necessary to be washed away to this extent.

"Everyone, stop making jokes about me and Dongqing." Song Linjin took a step forward and used his body to cover most of Qi Dongqing's probing eyes. "Let's go to the bar and have a drink first."

Qi Dongqing didn't take his "responsibility", walked out from behind him, and said the shocked words with a calm expression: "I'm currently in love, and Song Linjin will be caught by a third party, everyone You don’t want to inexplicably damage the reputation of the young talent, do you?”

At the end, he added: "If Lin Jin's life-long event is really delayed because of this, who should he talk to?"

Now even Song Linjin froze in place, staring in disbelief at the familiar person in front of him, and just now revealed the frightening strangeness inappropriately and bluntly.I don't know when, this soft temper that was easy to handle in the past gave birth to thorns like thorns, which made Song Linjin unable to grasp it no matter what.

Qi Dongqing turned a deaf ear to the surprised comments around her, and straightened her crumpled clothes by herself. The pearly light was smoother in the dim environment, low-key but dangerously beautiful, very much like him at the moment.

"Director Qi is dressed so hot today, isn't it because someone is here?" The person who lit the fire first came out to add a handful of firewood, and the intention of not wanting to let him go easily was too obvious, "It is obvious that Lang Youqing concubine intends, Since you didn’t bring anyone else, wouldn’t it be better for you to admit that it’s Chairman Song.”

This left him to say that he was scratching his head to seduce people, Qi Dongqing is not a soft persimmon, since he must be picked on, anything he says today will make this person's teeth crack.

Qi Dongqing didn't say a word, and immediately went forward to grab that bitch out of the crowd, without the cover of the human wall, the other party suddenly became hasty.Qi Dongqing calmly glanced at the belt of a certain famous brand on the other party's waist, pretending to worship money and yelling: "Oh, it's the latest model from the P family."

The man was stunned for a moment, and he could only cooperate and say, "It's just small money, just buy it for fun."

"What's the point of playing with the sale price of tens of thousands? This accessory and the owner's grade are in sync." Qi Dongqing first complimented him on purpose, and then seemingly unintentionally popularized the origin of this belt, "I remember P's week This anniversary model was just released at Fashion Week, and the internal sale only for senior members over five years will officially start at the beginning of next month."

He casually turned his eyes sideways, smiled slowly, and raised his chin lightly. He had no intention of giving the other party a way to retreat: "You have a way to get it so soon, why don't you share it with us? The big guy is also a good way to take advantage of you." .”

The letter of the beauty snake spat out slightly and swept across the man's face, sending a chill down his spine, and the cold sweat fell crazily from his forehead.

As soon as this remark came out, everyone understood everything.This belt was either bought for vanity and didn't know the market price, or it was stolen by an agent from Fashion Week or P company. Obviously, the former is more logical.

The bitch was severely humiliated, and now his face was torn apart, and he dared to say any dirty words under his embarrassment: "You are worthy of scolding me? Isn't the collar open so much that men are welcome to touch it, pretending to be a model?" Who will show the prudence, is it disgusting or not?"

Qi Dongqing was shocked by the other party's indiscriminate words, and before he had time to respond, he was grabbed by the waist and pulled into a familiar embrace in the next second.The light tea fragrance penetrated into his nostrils and soothed his emotions, and his tense back finally relaxed.

"Whoever he shows has nothing to do with you." A warm voice came from my ear, the voice was like wine with ice, strong and cold, with a sharp politeness.

After finishing speaking, when Zhong Huaiyuan withdrew his piercing eyes and fell on Qi Dongqing again, the bitterness inside was quickly wrapped in warmth: "Sorry I'm late."

Being domineeringly protected, Qi Dongqing's remaining sullen brows turned into grievances, she took half a step back and let herself fall into Zhong Huaiyuan's arms, and groaned artificially: "Brother Yuan, he bullied me."
