Cheng Xi thought about it to no avail.
On the way back to school, Mrs. Zhou called and made an appointment for afternoon tea with several ladies on Tuesday and asked her to accompany her to the mall to pick out gifts.
He also specifically told her to practice more social etiquette, adapt to social situations, and learn from wives' dignity and not to learn hypocrisy.
Cheng Xi obediently agreed.
After the call ended, she felt lonely and empty inside.
Mrs. Zhou is paving the way to cultivate her "huge habit".
It seems that we are already riding a tightrope.
She carried her duffel bag back to school. In the dormitory, Zhong Wen and An Ran were fighting, "Cheng Xi is a bitch, she is a bitch!"
"You're farting! When I was running for the top spot, Cheng Xi voluntarily withdrew, otherwise it would be your turn?"
"Why can't she get in the round? She even failed to participate, pretending to be aloof!" Zhong Wen held up a box of medicine, "Apply the medicine below! It was such a fierce battle, and all the medicine was applied!"
Zhong Wen was 1.68 meters tall and An Ran was just over 1.6 meters tall. She stood on tiptoe and said, "You are peeping into privacy!"
"She doesn't lock the drawers herself!"
The door was kicked open with a bang, and the bedroom became quiet for an instant.
There was a flash of panic on Zhong Wen's face, and then she quickly returned to arrogance, "Hey, no more internship? Isn't Qin Shang chasing you? The sugar daddy scandal was exposed. Can't you be the boss's wife? Are you fired?"
Cheng Xi grabbed the medicine box and crushed it in his right hand. The ointment spurted out and splashed all over Zhong Wen. She screamed, "Cheng Xi! My new Chanel!"
Silence fell.
Zhong Wen was stunned. Cheng Xi stared straight at her without saying a word and expressionless.
It seemed that the next moment, he was going to pounce on her and bite her.
"Did you take the wrong medicine?" Zhong Wen panicked, took off the bag hanging at the end of the bed, and slipped out.
Cheng Xi threw the ointment into the trash can and tidied up the wardrobe and desk.
"Are you moving away?"
"Rent a house."
An Ran was surprised, "Do you have a partner?"
"Living alone."
"How unsafe..." An Ran intended to keep her, but rumors about her sugar daddy were spreading in the department. Although Zhong Wen apologized publicly and smeared her privately, Cheng Xi's reputation did not improve at all. Worse.
Some classmates secretly accused her of relying on the support of the "old man" to bully her roommates and run rampant in school.
The quilts, pillowcases, and boots she hung to dry downstairs were either lost for no reason, or were coated with 502 glue or spray paint, so there was no way to get them.
He didn't even dare to drive the Audi A6, lest the old man's rumors would be further confirmed.
Cheng Xi packed the suitcase and took it out of school. She rented it at a nearby "love hotel" for a month to facilitate her classes, and then officially rented a room after finding her next internship.
...
When Cheng Xi rushed to SKP, Mrs. Zhou was sitting in the coffee shop on the first floor. There was a velvet box on the table. The lid of the box was opened, and inside was a pearl necklace.
The necklace is for her.
Crystal clear southern pearl.
Cheng Xi is suitable for this kind of smaller pearls, which complement her temperament and make her look not old-fashioned.
Mrs. Zhou was too lazy to shop any more, so Cheng Xi took her platinum card, finished selecting brooches on the second floor, and went straight to the third floor.
Opposite the escalator is a high-end women's shoe store, with a pair of 164,800 crystal-diamond high-heeled shoes on display in the window. The 1-carat white diamond on the tip of the shoe is dazzling.
Behind the display stand are Guan Liang and the store manager.
The store manager explained the design concept of the shoes in detail. Guan Liang was very satisfied and took one of them to the try-on area.
Cheng Xi approached the window by accident.
"My parents are having a banquet at Mingyuan on their wedding anniversary next month. How about I wear these shoes?"
Zhou Jingchen used his mobile phone to check the general manager candidate list reported by the branch. When it came to business, he no longer cared about any personal matters, "Okay."
Guan Liang knew what was going on and didn't pester him. She motioned to the clerk to squat down and help her try on the shoes.
The shoe size was half a size too small, and she was not happy, "Isn't it the right size?"
The clerk was also embarrassed, "It's a limited edition, and the same size is available for five pairs across the country."
Guan Liang turned around and said, "Jingchen, let's find another one."
Zhou Jingchen put away his cell phone, picked up his shoes and weighed them under the light. The crystal diamond shone with silvery white light, "Size 37?"
Guan Liang held his hand and said, "I can't wear it. It's so tight that my feet hurt."
He didn't know what he was thinking, but after Guan Liang urged him repeatedly, he put down the shoe.
Cheng Xi ducked into the corner while Zhou Jingchen led Guan Liang out of the shoe store.
"Is your branch going to elect a new general manager?"
The mall was hot, so Zhou Jingchen rolled up his shirt sleeves and didn't want to talk more, "It's just an ordinary personnel adjustment."
"My cousin has just returned from studying in Australia. He has a master's degree in economics and management. As a general manager, he lacks experience, but as a deputy general manager and department head, he has no problem." Guan Liang looked as natural as possible, as if he was a natural person. Arrange, "You are at the headquarters and you have your own family in the branch. He will report to you in time if anything happens."
"Your father asked you to mention it to me?" Next to Zhou Jingchen was a lamppost that went straight to the top of the building. The bright and dazzling light made his face white and his expression could not be seen clearly.
Guan Liang's heart felt inexplicably.
Zhou Jingchen was always polite and courteous. During these days, his contacts involved the Guan family. He kept saying "Uncle Guan, Aunt Guan" and even prepared a generous gift for her to take back to the Guan family to express his feelings.
The Guan family, including relatives, were full of praise for him and urged her to keep her real girlfriend's status in the palm of her hand.
Guan Liang is smart. What this man cares about most is career, and love is the icing on the cake.
Placing Guan family members in his company is a shortcut to firmly bind him.
She was not expecting Zhou Jingchen to be so disgusted.
She has long regarded herself as "Mrs. Xiao Zhou" in her circle of friends.
"Your cousin monitors the situation in the branch and reports to me. He also monitors my situation and reports to you and the Guan family?"
Guan Liang's smile solidified.
"You're too hasty."
He finally said these four words and took his arm out of Guan Liang's hand. At first glance, it looked like a young couple having an awkward moment.
"Jingchen, you misunderstood me! I didn't mean any harm." Guan Liang's black and white eyes were filled with tears, looking aggrieved and innocent, "I hope to share the burden for you."
Zhou Jingchen tilted his head and looked at her, still confused about his mood and anger.
Guan Liang took his arm again and carefully coaxed, "I'll pay attention next time. It really has nothing to do with my father. The Guan family has never had any inappropriate thoughts."
Her posture was low and tender. Zhou Jingchen was not a completely hard-hearted man, and his expression was obviously relaxed.
Cheng Xi went to the jewelry store next door and picked out a pair of diamond earrings.
Just as she was about to go downstairs, Zhou Jingchen called her to stop.
His location was at the door of the men's restroom, and Guan Liang didn't know where he was.
Cheng Xi stopped and turned his back to him.
Zhou Jingchen said in the dormitory: I will be busy next time. If you need anything, please contact your assistant.
She thought he was using official duties to cool down and let everyone go their separate ways.
These two times of being alone were each time crazier and more dangerous.
He noticed it too.
Losing control uncontrollably is not a good sign.
Cheng Xi didn't expect that he would spare time to go shopping with Guan Liang and prepare for the wedding anniversary dinner of the Guan family and his wife.
Although I had no expectations for him, it was more or less a taste.
A fresh and mellow masculine fragrance gradually approaches behind you. It is very fresh and has a youthful and mature feel.
It is no longer a heavy medicinal and woody scent.
He changed his perfume.
Generally, men start to pay attention to their image. They change their perfumes and hairstyles to cater to women's aesthetics, or they are modified by women.
Zhou Jingchen's fragrance was most likely Guan Liang's suggestion.
He has a tough temperament, and coupled with his daily dark-colored dress, he is indeed too profound and serious.
The smell of ocean forest seems refreshing, not dull.
Mixed with a hint of French romance.
Even more attractive to women.
