Chapter 36: Ridiculing in person
The sky was clear blue, and the sunlight was shining softly, shining on a 60-story stand-alone building in the center of Haicheng.
Fu Nanxi and Shen Qi arrived at Fu Group at ten o'clock in the morning.
The Fu Group's headquarters is located in the city center. They took the elevator directly to the president's office on the 29th floor.
Shen Qi specially wore a white T-shirt and blue jeans today, tied her hair into a high ponytail, and put on a fresh fake natural makeup. She was tall, slender, youthful and beautiful.
"Nanxi, do you think I am okay like this today?" As soon as she walked out of the elevator on the 29th floor, Shen Qi grabbed Fu Nanxi and asked her to help her take another look at how she was doing today.
Just now downstairs, Shen Qi had pulled Fu Nanxi aside and asked her again, and Fu Nanxi gave her a positive answer, saying that she looked very beautiful today and her outfit was very suitable.
The two walked into the company and the assistant came out to greet them, saying that Mr. Fu was talking about work with Mr. Shi in the office and asked them to wait outside for a while.
"Mr. Shi, which Mr. Shi?" Fu Nanxi asked the assistant.
The assistant replied respectfully, "Shi Mingting, the president of Mingsheng Group."
It turned out to be Brother Shi. Fu Nanxi asked his assistant to go ahead and do his work. The two of them sat on the sofa in the reception room and waited. Shen Qi came over and sat next to Fu Nanxi.
"He didn't come earlier or later, but chose to come today to talk about work. Isn't this delaying my date with Brother Jingyuan?"
She looked down at the time and said, "It's still more than an hour until noon. Let's chat for a while. Brother Jingyuan won't have time to accompany me again."
"We should be done talking soon. When the company gets to noon, I'll ask my brother to have lunch with us. Don't worry, you will definitely have enough time to show your charm." Fu Nanxi hurried to comfort her.
Shen Qi smiled and nodded, "You are really my good sister." Then he reached out and pinched her pink cheeks.
"Nanxi, your face is so soft. It feels so good. If you were my pet, I would pinch your face every day."
Fu Nanxi slapped his friend's hand away, "You wish, who would be your pet?"
"Of course it's you." Shen Qi pinched her chubby cheeks again, "Nanxi, call me sister-in-law and let me hear it."
"You haven't even caught up with my brother yet, but you want me to call you sister-in-law? That's wishful thinking." Fu Nanxi shook her head and refused.
"It's only a matter of time. You have to have faith in me." Shen Qi fiddled with her long ponytail with her hand.
"But Shi Mingting is really annoying. Didn't he know yesterday that we were coming over today? He still came over to talk to Brother Jingyuan about work. Can't we talk tomorrow? Why did he have to do it today? He is such a conservative person who doesn't know how to adapt."
Just when Fu Nanxi was about to comfort the anxious Shen Qi, she looked up and saw Shi Mingting had come over and was standing at the door of the lounge.
"Ahem, Qiqi..."
Shen Qi, who was still angry, ignored her words and did not notice the tall man behind him, and continued to complain.
"Nanxi, you said Shi Mingting is already 30 years old, and I haven't heard of him having a girlfriend. Does he like men?"
At this point, Shen Qi's expression suddenly became strange.
"I see that he particularly likes playing with Brother Jingyuan. He doesn't like Brother Jingyuan, does he? If he deliberately tries to snatch it from me, how can I beat him?"
"Ahem." Fu Nanxi desperately winked at Shen Qi. She picked up the mineral water on the table and said, "Qiqi, you must be thirsty. Drink some water first."
Shen Qi took the mineral water and said, "Thank you, I'm not thirsty. Nanxi, do you think he will kill me in order to snatch Brother Jingyuan?"
"Um, I don't know either. Xiqi, drink some water." Fu Nanxi winked desperately.
Shen Qi thought Fu Nanxi wanted to drink water, so she unscrewed the bottle cap and handed the water to her.
"You want to drink it yourself, but you can't unscrew the bottle cap."
"Yeah, yes, I want to drink." Seeing that she finally stopped talking about Shi Mingting, Fu Nanxi took the mineral water and took a sip.
She looked behind Shen Qi and was about to call him "Brother Shi" when Shen Qi suddenly held her hand.
"Nanxi, do you think that old man Shi Mingting likes men or women?"
Fu Nanxi raised her hand to support her forehead, looking embarrassed. She felt that she had tried her best, and it seemed that Shen Qi could not escape the fate of a broken bone today.
However, fractures are divided into different levels, and she had to do her best to make Shen Qi's fracture lighter. After all, she was her best friend and might become her sister-in-law in the future.
"Hello, Brother Shi." She stood up and greeted Shi Mingting directly behind Shen Qi.
Hearing her words, Shen Qi was stunned. She turned her head mechanically and saw Shi Mingting standing at the door of the office with a cold face.
He usually had this expression, not showing his emotions, and she didn't know how long Shi Mingting had been here. Did he hear what she just said?
She also stood up with a guilty smile on her face, "Hello, Brother Shi."
Shi Mingting walked into the office and said to Fu Nanxi, "Your brother said he would come over later. He was afraid that you would be bored, so he asked me to come and accompany you first."
After saying that, he sat down on the single sofa next to them.
His expression was normal, without any sign of abnormality. Shen Qi secretly felt lucky that he must have just arrived and did not hear what she said.
Feeling the atmosphere was a bit awkward, Fu Nanxi turned around and looked outside the door, "Why hasn't my brother come yet? I'll go to his office to check."
As soon as she got up, Fu Jingyuan hurried in from outside and looked at the three people in the room, "You must be anxious waiting."
Seeing Fu Jingyuan coming, Shen Qi immediately changed her sitting posture to a ladylike one. "No hurry at all, Brother Jingyuan, are you done with your work?"
"Yeah." Fu Jingyuan noticed Shen Qi. Her dressing style today was obviously different from before. Looking at the clothes she was wearing and the ponytail on her head, he was stunned for a moment.
Seeing her brother looking at Shen Qi in a daze, Fu Nanxi was secretly happy. It worked. Her guess was right. Her brother was really interested in this.
Noticing Fu Jingyuan's gaze on her, Shen Qi was secretly happy in her heart. Her friend was really reliable. Brother Jingyuan really liked this style.
After coming to his senses, Fu Jingyuan went to sit next to his sister.
"I'll walk you around the company later. I'm sure we won't be able to go around the entire company today."
After saying that, he looked at Shen Qi, "Which department are you interested in?"
Shen Qi secretly complained in his heart that he was not interested in any department, only in you.
She smiled and said, "It's all fine. Brother Jingyuan, you decide."
After saying that, she felt a little thirsty, so she picked up the bottle of water in front of her and tried to open the lid several times without success. She looked at the man next to her for help.
"Brother Jingyuan, I'm thirsty and can't turn it on. Can you help me?"
Seeing Shen Qi waiting expectantly for her brother to unscrew the bottle cap for her, Fu Nanxi almost covered her face with her hands. Who was the one who helped her open the bottle cap just now?
Women immersed in love are simply terrifying, and their acting skills are so amazing that they can be regarded as gods.
Unscrewing the lid, Fu Jingyuan handed the water to Shen Qi.
"Thank you, Brother Jingyuan." After saying that, Shen Qi raised his head and took a small sip of water.
Shi Mingting glanced at Shen Qi and stood up from the sofa. "Jingyuan, I have something else to do and I'll leave first. There are still some details. We'll talk about it next time."
"Okay." Fu Jingyuan stood up from the sofa and personally sent Shi Mingting to the door.
Seeing Shen Qi still looking at the door, Fu Nanxi pulled her over and said, "Qiqi, let me tell you something."
"What's the matter?" Shen Qi was in a good mood now, and he spoke with a smile.
"In fact, he heard everything you said just now."
"What!" The smile on Shen Qi's face disappeared immediately, replaced by a look of fear. Many sounds of bones breaking appeared in her brain.
"Why didn't you remind me earlier?"
"I tried my best to wink at you, but you didn't look. I was about to call Brother Shi, but you held my hand and stopped me. I really tried my best. Just now, Brother Shi's face looked the same as usual, so I guess he wasn't angry."
Not angry! Shen Qi didn't believe that a business elite would not be angry when being called an old man and his sexual orientation became a topic of discussion.
Forget it, who cares? The most important thing now is to catch up with Brother Jingyuan. If Shi Mingting is really angry, the worst that can happen is that she will apologize.
