Chapter 154 The heartbeat suddenly went crazy
On the other side, the Jiang family villa.
Finally, Xie Qiong left and all the gifts were returned. Jiang Qianxun felt that the depressing atmosphere had finally eased. She didn't want to waste her time and thoughts on unimportant people. She glanced at Aunt Lan and Uncle Jiang who were chatting and laughing, and continued to take her friends upstairs to the unfinished meeting.
Now she has two positions. As for Xing's company, when she applied for the position of Director An, she has not yet completed the work project that she promised to Xing Mingyu, so she cannot resign.
On Huawen's side, Zheng Ge and his colleagues have not yet started work and the work is not on track, so she needs to worry about it too. She has to hurry up.
So, a weekend passed like this.
The next day, Monday.
After introducing the company's situation, she asked Chen Zheng to distribute the Huaixian project information she had given to everyone before, so that everyone could familiarize themselves with it and draw up relevant sketches. They would be well prepared and would not be criticized by the Jiang Wenyuan brothers when they joined Huawen in the future.
She returned to Xing's and continued working.
Although it is autumn and the weather is a little cold, the heating is on inside Xing's house and it feels almost like spring.
Jiang Qianxun took off her coat and put on a white maternity dress. As soon as she stepped into the door of the design department, she bumped into someone head-on.
"Chihiro."
She looked carefully and saw Huang Xiaoxiao, whom she hadn't seen for some time.
She worked at home some time ago and seldom came to the company. When she came, Huang Xiaoxiao took the initiative to apply for a business trip out of town for a few days due to project requirements. I didn't expect to see her today.
"You're back? Is work going well?"
Jiang Qianxun said as she walked into her office.
"It's okay, the work is not difficult and T City is not far away. I came back early this morning." Huang Xiaoxiao followed her into the office, then handed a paper bag to her with a sweet smile.
"I heard someone in the office say that you like to eat sugar-roasted chestnuts, so I brought you a bag before I came back this morning. You're pregnant, so it's not good for you to eat cold chestnuts. I just went to the microwave in the tea room to heat it up. Here, I'll give it to you."
Jiang Qianxun looked at the paper bag handed over and was a little surprised: "Did you buy it specially for me?"
"Yes, I heard from my mother that pregnant women should eat more nuts. I checked and found that chestnuts are also suitable for pregnant women. So I bought them for you on my own initiative. What? Don't you like them?" Huang Xiaoxiao looked a little nervous.
Seeing this, Jiang Qianxun immediately took it, unable to bear to reject this quiet, well-behaved and attentive girl.
"No, I like it very much."
Smelling the unique aroma of chestnuts and caramel flavor, her appetite was indeed increased. She even opened the package and tasted one in front of her.
"It's delicious, thank you. We haven't started work yet, do you want to eat too?"
Huang Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good."
As she spoke, she reached out and took one, then lowered her head and began to peel it.
The two chatted while eating, but because they didn't have much private contact and the topics were limited, Jiang Qianxun mainly asked about her and Wei Xianglin.
Huang Xiaoxiao just lowered her head and said that she was still trying to understand. Maybe because she was tired or something, Jiang Qianxun always felt that she didn't seem to be in a good mood, so he had to change the subject.
"By the way, how's your foot? Does it still hurt?"
Huang Xiaoxiao put all the peeled chestnuts in front of Jiang Qianxun and lifted her right leg: "It's done. Haha, it's getting late, I won't disturb you from working, I also have some reports to write, I'll go out first."
Before leaving, she seemed to remember something and took out a lunch box from the bag on her back and placed it on Jiang Qianxun's desk.
"Oh, I almost forgot about this. This is for you too. I heard that pregnant women tend to get angry easily during the second trimester, and eating this can prevent it."
Jiang Qianxun took a closer look and found that there was peeled pomelo flesh inside, in slices. It looked very complete, which showed how careful the person who peeled it was.
Suddenly I felt that the girl in front of me was really warm and considerate, and being with her really made me feel relaxed.
No wonder Wei Xianglin took a liking to her after just one meeting. She really did have the aura of a very soothing... uh, a good wife and mother.
Very caring!
"Thank you."
Jiang Qianxun took it generously.
Huang Xiaoxiao smiled and turned to walk towards the office door.
At this time, the phone in the office rang.
Jiang Qianxun was opening the box of pomelo pulp. When she heard a phone call coming in, she pressed the speakerphone button without even looking at it.
"Hello. Hello."
"Hello, Director An. This is the CEO's office. President Xing wants you to come up."
Jiang Qianxun paused with her finger holding the pomelo meat, looked up, and saw that it was indeed an internal line, and it was the number of the president's office.
What does he want from me?
She frowned, and suddenly felt that some people's pomelo flesh was no longer fragrant, so she put it in the fresh-keeping box.
"understood."
After hanging up the phone, she saw Huang Xiaoxiao still standing at the door. She forced a smile, put away the food, turned around and walked out together.
five minutes later.
On the top floor of Xing's Group, at the door of the president's office, as soon as Jiang Qianxun came up, he saw Assistant Zhou waiting at the door.
Assistant Zhou knew that Jiang Qianxun was coming up because he asked his secretary to send the notice.
He was waiting here for another reason.
Because after his wife came yesterday, he found that his husband's mood was not good enough to be described by the word "bad". It's not that he cursed anyone, but the suffocating silence...
In short, he now feels that entering the president's office is like going to the execution ground, and he is now hoping that someone will come to save him.
Director An is obviously this person.
According to his observation, Xiansheng attaches great importance to Director An. Not only was she specially invited back by Xiansheng, but she was also taken care of in her work and life. Her boyfriend, Qin Chuan, is a good friend of Xiansheng. Rounding it off, it means that Director An is also a good friend of Xiansheng. What she says must be useful.
So, when Assistant Zhou saw Jiang Qianxun coming up, he bowed to her respectfully as if he had seen a savior.
"Good morning, Director An. Are you here to see the president?"
Jiang Qianxun forced a smile and nodded: "Yeah, I wonder if the president is looking for me so early in the morning. Is there something urgent?"
Assistant Zhou is Xing Mingyu's assistant, so he must know the reason. It would be better for her to ask him first so that she can be mentally prepared. She can also finish it quickly and return to her office early.
Who would feel comfortable meeting a man with whom you have had sex again at work?
Assistant Zhou immediately looked sad and answered truthfully: "To be honest, I don't know either. I just know that the gentleman has been in a bad mood recently. No matter what the gentleman asks, you should answer carefully."
Bad mood?
Is it because of her?
As soon as this thought flashed through his mind, Jiang Qianxun immediately denied it and suppressed this ridiculous idea.
It's been more than half a month, and he hasn't looked at me once. He must have forgotten me a long time ago? How could it be because of her? Don't be so self-indulgent.
It must be because of something else.
But no matter what the reason was, it had nothing to do with her now.
"Okay, thank you for the reminder."
After saying that, she was about to push the door open.
"Wait a minute, Director An." Assistant Zhou reached out to stop her and finally stated his purpose: "If possible, can you help persuade Mr. He? He has been in a bad mood recently and is overloaded with work. I'm afraid he can't handle it. You and Mr. Qin are both good friends of Mr. He, so he should be able to listen to you. Please."
After saying that, Assistant Zhou returned to his seat and stopped disturbing her.
Jiang Qianxun thought, she and Xing Mingyu? What kind of friends are they?
In the end, they didn't become enemies and her child wasn't taken away, for which she was already very grateful.
However, there was no need for her to explain this matter to Assistant Zhou. She took a deep breath, then looked up and knocked on the door of the president's office.
"Please come in."
Hearing that familiar magnetic voice, Jiang Qianxun's heart started beating wildly, but she quickly forced herself to calm down and pressed the door handle with her slender hand.
CEO's office.
Jiang Qianxun had prepared herself mentally the moment she pressed the doorknob. When the door opened, she was no longer nervous and stepped into the man's territory generously.
The door behind her was wide open. Just like when she first met him, she stopped five steps away from the desk, her black and white eyes lowered.
"I wonder what the leader wants to talk to me about?"
The atmosphere was dead silent for two seconds, and suddenly, a man's indifferent voice came from the front.
"Assistant Zhou, please close the door."
"Yes."
She heard Assistant Zhou's response and the sound of the door closing behind her. She could still smell his unique scent, a cool pine scent.
Somehow, Jiang Qianxun felt that the psychological preparation she had just made was showing signs of collapse.
She frowned and quickly found a topic to divert attention.
"Is there something wrong with the project I'm working on? Please give me some instructions, leader."
The man sat behind the desk with his long legs crossed and two documents in his hands, but his dark eyes were fixed on the obviously bulging belly of the woman in front of him.
After not seeing her for more than half a month, her belly has become a little bigger.
Before, you couldn’t tell the pregnancy from a distance, but now you can tell at a glance that she is carrying his child.
The warm autumn sun shone through the floor-to-ceiling windows, and a few rays of it just happened to shine on her. Her delicate face seemed to be covered with a layer of warm color, and her gentle look made him unable to take his eyes away.
But her tone was extremely unfamiliar. She didn't need to look up, he knew that her eyes, which were clearly black and white and would cry if he touched them lightly, must be filled with alienation.
The man felt as if something had stung his heart, and frowned unhappily. He clenched the documents in his hand with his slender knuckles, stood up, walked across the desk, and went to the sofa next to him.
"Director An is pregnant, come sit here and talk."
"Yes."
Jiang Qianxun followed him with her belly bulging. After the man sat down, she sat down in the seat farthest away from him. She raised her eyes out of habit and was met with a pair of cold eyes.
After that, she couldn't look away.
The man was still wearing his signature white shirt and black suit pants, his long legs were crossed with the documents in his hand resting on them, and his tall and slender body was leaning against the sofa.
The sunlight shone through his neat black short hair, making his already delicate facial features even more three-dimensional.
Two buttons of his white shirt were undone, revealing his sexy collarbone and Adam's apple, which made him look more abstinent. Only the faint dark blue under his eyes seemed a little abrupt, but it did not affect his natural noble temperament at all.
Realizing that she was staring at him blankly, Jiang Qianxun quickly came to her senses, shifted her gaze to the document in his hand, and spoke for the third time.
“I wonder which project I’m working on has a problem?”
The man switched his long legs, but his eyes did not move away from the little woman: "Just asking about the design department. How are you teaching the new designer who just joined the company?"
Jiang Qianxun smiled respectfully, and moved her eyes to the glass table between the two of them, looking at the newly placed bouquet of lilies on it: "The people selected by Mr. Xing must be good. They are also involved in the Huai County project, and the completion rate is very good."
Seeing her lower her eyes again, the man suddenly raised his voice.
"Yes, but I heard that there was a problem with the new Yonghong project drawings. How is it being handled now?"
Jiang Qianxun had to raise her eyes and answer the man's question carefully.
"It's OK. Huang Xiaoxiao went to T City in person and has completed the matter. I will personally hand you a report later."
"it is good."
Next, Xing Mingyu asked her several more questions, including the completion and follow-up of the projects at hand, the government-supported emerging designer program, her future plans, etc. She answered them all fluently.
But somehow, even though there was nothing wrong with her work, she inexplicably felt that the aura around the man was getting colder and colder, and there were fewer and fewer topics she could ask.
Finally, the two fell into a strange silence.
But Jiang Qianxun didn't want to delve into the cause of this silence. She just sat there quietly. If the man asked, she would answer. If the man didn't ask, she would just sit there and wait for his next instruction.
After a long silence, the man finally turned his eyes away from the little woman, put the documents on the table, and asked her to go back.
"I have a meeting to attend, so you should go back to work."
Jiang Qianxun tried to ignore the man's slightly tired voice, as well as the inexplicable movement of pulling his tie and sliding his throat. She breathed a sigh of relief, lowered her head, stood up and left.
......
Director Office.
After returning from the top floor, Jiang Qianxun couldn't calm down. Because there was not much work to do, she spent more time daydreaming. While looking at the email interface, all that flashed through her mind was the tall figure of a man.
Although she had always kept her head down to answer the man's questions, during the few times she raised her eyes, she still engraved his figure in her mind.
His dark eyes, his cold and bloodshot eyes when he looked into her eyes, his slightly thin handsome face and his hesitant expression.
Assistant Zhou's words also lingered in her mind.
Sure enough, the situation was different after meeting and not meeting. Before meeting, she felt that she could treat the father of her child as a stranger.
Obviously, she suddenly couldn't calm down.
But she couldn't organize her thoughts and was absent-minded the whole time until Huang Xiaoxiao knocked on the door and came in to deliver the report, then she came to her senses.
"Director An, this is the report on my trip to T City to process the drawings of the Yonghong project. Do you think this is okay?"
"Okay, this is exactly what I need." In order to divert her attention and stop herself from thinking too much, Jiang Qianxun took the report and started reading it, motioning her to sit down first and wait for her comments.
Jiang Qianxun slowly read the comments and chatted with her for a while.
Huang Xiaoxiao took the report. Perhaps because the atmosphere was so good, she suddenly took out a handmade necklace made of agate from her pocket.
"Chihiro, I heard from my mother that agate can bring good luck and ward off evil. This is a handmade bracelet I made for you. I hope it can keep you and your child safe."
Jiang Qianxun laughed: "Have you turned into a treasure box today? You took out a gift for me in a short while."
Huang Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "I don't like to talk much. I don't have many good friends in the company. You are the only one, and you are my idol. When I see delicious and beautiful things on business trips, I can't help but bring them to you. You won't dislike it, right?"
"How come?" Jiang Qianxun needed to divert his attention, so he just started chatting with her: "I don't have many friends, and I'm so happy that someone cares about me."
Huang Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up: "So, Qianxun allows me to be your friend? Can I...really?"
"It's my pleasure." These words were true. She found that Huang Xiaoxiao was really well-behaved and attentive, and even she couldn't help but get close to her.
"That's great. It's my honor to be friends with my idol." Huang Xiaoxiao directly pulled her arm: "Besides, you are so beautiful. You don't know that I was fascinated by you the first time I saw you. I thought to myself, how happy it would be if I could be friends with you."
"Grumpy."
"I'm serious! If you don't believe me, ask Xiaoan and the others. Even if you're wearing maternity clothes, you'll look better than us when we dress up. By the way, speaking of pregnancy, Chihiro, how old is the baby in your belly?"
Since they said they wanted to be friends, Jiang Qianxun naturally didn't shy away from this kind of question and told the truth.
"More than four months old, they are twins."
Huang Xiaoxiao smiled: "That's great. If it's twins, you'll be so lucky. You can have a boy and a girl in one pregnancy, and you don't even have to think about having a second pregnancy. Can I touch the baby?"
Jiang Qianxun was stunned.
In fact, she didn't like being touched, but seeing Huang Xiaoxiao's expectant expression, she finally agreed, moved her chair away, and leaned towards Huang Xiaoxiao.
Huang Xiaoxiao carefully reached out her hand, gently touched her slightly protruding belly, and quickly moved away.
"It's so soft and magical. I'm so envious."
Jiang Qianxun laughed and teased her deliberately: "I'm so envious. Why don't you get along well with Wei Xianglin and work harder to have a baby with him after marriage?"
Huang Xiaoxiao's smile disappeared.
