Chapter 29 Embarrassment

Lin Qiao's eyelids twitched when he heard the word "Han" recently. When he saw Lawyer Han who followed the female secretary into the meeting room, his heart beat uncontrollably.

I know the world is small and the legal circle is even smaller, but there is no need to be so small, right? !He knew from Xu Jiahui that Han Zhao had changed careers, but what kind of case could bring a business lawyer like him and a divorce lawyer together?

Han Zhao was obviously taken aback when he saw him, but soon calmed down.

"President Shan."

Han Zhao went straight to the chairman, shook hands with him, then turned to Lin Qiao and nodded slightly: "Lawyer Lin."

"Yeah." Lin Qiao replied hesitantly.

President Shan looked at them and asked curiously, "You two know each other?"

"College classmates," Han Zhao smiled at Mr. Shan, "I just got together a few days ago."

"That's great!" Mr. Shan laughed, "My own people are easy to talk to."

Lin Qiao forced a smile on his face, turned around and explained to Philip that Lawyer Han was his classmate.

Before all the participants of the kick-off meeting arrived, Han Zhao gave Lin Qiao and Philip an overview of the process of negotiating with Mrs. Shan. Philip took note of the time carefully, and then asked a few more questions. One answered.

The few of them chatted for a short time, and other people who participated in the kick-off meeting came one after another.

When the call is connected to a brokerage firm in the United States, the kick-off meeting will officially begin.The schedule of the project has already been sent to the hands of all parties involved in the meeting. Each intermediary agency introduced itself and talked about its expectations for the project from its own perspective.

Lin Qiao finished her self-introduction early and didn't pay much attention for the rest of the time.

Han Zhao is a person who doesn't like to be restrained. Lin Qiao has rarely seen him in a formal suit when he was with him. Looking at it now, it is obvious that his figure is very suitable for wearing a suit.

While toasting to drink tea, Lin Qiao glanced at Han Zhao who was sitting next to Mr. Shan from the corner of his eye, just in time to meet the other party's undisguised gaze.

Lin Qiao choked on the tea abruptly.

"Cough cough cough cough."

Philip handed him a tissue, and seeing him in a hurry, he couldn't help asking in a low voice, "Joe, what's wrong with you?"

Lin Qiao suppressed his cough, picked up a pen and wrote the letters EX on the notepad.

Philip looked at Han Zhao in surprise, and added a word in front of what he wrote.

"That EX?!!!"

Lin Qiao looked at the three exaggerated exclamation marks on the notebook, and wrote a "Y" helplessly.

During the tea break, Han Zhao and Mr. Shan kept talking, talking and laughing, and they seemed to be very familiar with each other.

Not far away, Philip glanced at Han Zhao and asked Lin Qiao, "Does Ray know of his existence?"

"He knew it the first day he arrived in China," Lin Qiao shook his head helplessly, "there have been fights."

Philip took a breath: "Knowing that you are working on a project together, he will go crazy, right?"

Lin Qiao nodded: "Very likely."

"Well, yes," Philip added a few seconds later, "he's going to kill me for introducing you to the project."

"So don't let him know!" Lin Qiao lowered his voice, "If I can protect you, I can't protect you!"

"Seriously, Joe," Philip sighed, and patted him on the shoulder, "Choosing to live with Ray... You're pretty brave when you think about it."

Lin Qiao accepted the praise with tears in her eyes.

It was getting late, and after the coffee break, Mr. Shan took everyone to visit the company's factory buildings and products, and put an end to the project kick-off meeting.

Tomorrow, Philip made an appointment with several senior managers of Shan Sumhe Company for a preliminary interview. For convenience, he booked a hotel nearby for one night.After the visit, the female secretary sent a company car to take him to the hotel.

The company is located in a remote place, watching other people drive away one after another, Lin Qiao stood at the dusty gate, thinking about the next taxi app, and trying to see if there are any taxis nearby willing to come.

The network signal is a bit weak, and a software has been downloaded for a long time and still hasn't recovered.Just as he was getting impatient, an SUV stopped in front of him.

"You didn't come by car?" Han Zhao asked with the window down.

Lin Qiao looked up at him.

"car broke down."

Han Zhao pressed the unlock button: "Come up."

Lin Qiao shook her head: "No need, I use taxi-hailing software, and a taxi will arrive in a while."

Han Zhao leaned over and opened the passenger door on his side.

"Come up."

Lin Qiao hesitated for a moment, then looked down at the software that was still being downloaded.

Han Zhao sighed: "We just broke up, and it's not that we've never seen each other... Let's get in the car."

Having said all this, it would be hypocritical to refuse.

Lin Qiao put away the phone, opened the door and got in the car.

The briefcase and computer were thrown to the back seat of the car, and Lin Qiao put on the seat belt with a "click".

"Live in the old place?" Han Zhao looked at him and asked.

"We've moved." Sitting in a familiar seat, Lin Qiao felt uncomfortable, "Go to my mother's for dinner today."

Han Zhao didn't speak any more, and kicked the accelerator to go out.

The roads in the suburbs are empty, and the car is driving very fast.The windows in the car were closed, and there was no other sound except the humming wind noise.

It will take at least an hour to go back to the city. Lin Qiao looked at the unremarkable scenery of the suburbs for a while, and couldn't stand the silence in the carriage.

When the car stopped at a traffic light, he turned on the FM.

On the radio, the male and female hosts teased each other.

"Ah Xiao, I heard you went to the class reunion yesterday?"

"Yes."

"Have you met your first love?"

"Don't say you really met."

"Hey, how do you feel?"

"Hey, back then, the white dress fluttered and she was nicknamed Little Dragon Girl. Now...it's hard to describe. I can only play a song to express my extremely complicated feelings..."

As the voice of the male host falls, the music progresses gradually.

"Throughout that year, we have seen too few people in the market and only like to look at the same face, so inexplicably so cute and too annoying to make trouble.

Hastily made unbearable promises in a hurry that year, only to wait for others to fulfill them.

If you can't blushing in goodbye, can you still blushing?

Just like the beautiful rumor that we were together forever in a hurry that year.

If the past is still worthy of nostalgia, don't let it go too quickly.

Who is willing to just be like this, with nothing to do with each other? "

Faye Wong's voice was still sultry, and every word of the lyrics touched her heart. Lin Qiao secretly scolded herself for being cheap.

The chorus of the song was repeated in the carriage, and Han Zhao suddenly reached out and turned off the radio.

Opening the car window, he found a cigarette and lit it himself, then handed the cigarette case to Lin Qiao.

Lin Qiao shook his head at him: "I'm quitting smoking, I haven't smoked for a long time."

When the red light jumped to green, Han Zhao took back the cigarette case and smiled.

"Where can I go for a long time?"

Lin Qiao pouted, but did not answer.

Han Zhao didn't care too much, and then asked, "Are you busy recently?"

It seems to be something that can be dismissed with an "okay".

"You can ask He Jing if you are busy or not." Lin Qiao replied blankly.

Han Zhao puffed out the window: "He said you worked more overtime than him."

Lin Qiao made a "cut".

Han Zhao glanced at him: "What?"

Unable to bear the hypocrisy with him, Lin Qiao asked directly: "What did you and He Jing say? Now he sees me like a mouse or a cat, and he doesn't dare to look at me."

"To be honest," Han Zhao continued to smoke his own cigarette, "I said you were my first love in college."

Lin Qiao looked at him dumbfounded.

"Which word is 'true'?"

It was the first time I kissed a man, had oral sex for the first time, had sex for the first time... All kinds of poses and tricks were taught by the experienced Han Zhao.

Han Zhao pinched off the cigarette he had smoked: "every sentence is true."

Lin Qiao had nothing to say to him. After a long silence, he suddenly said, "You have changed a lot——He Jing said that his boyfriend would cook for him. I would never have guessed that it would be you."

Han Zhao didn't answer, but just drove the car silently.

Accusing the old lover of treating her new love better than herself, Lin Qiao also felt quite boring after she finished speaking.Now, the two of them were completely speechless.

The car just happened to drive into the city before the rush hour.Han Zhao was very familiar with the roads near Lin Qiao's house, and drove smoothly all the way to the gate of his mother's community.

The car stopped steadily, and Lin Qiao breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he had finally survived this torturous journey.

Just when he was about to get out of the car, he heard Han Zhao say, "Did you forget what you said when you gave me back the ring?"

Lin Qiao's heart skipped a beat.

Han Zhao stared into his eyes: "Tell me, if you meet the next Lin Qiao, treat him better."
