Creative Engine Office Area.
As the workday was about to end, Li Xiaoyue stretched and said, "Well, I finally finished the daily hyaluronic acid mask project. I don't have to work overtime this time, right?"
"It's not good to have overtime. This month's salary has reached a new high. I have to plan how to spend it." A colleague said happily.
"Don't mention it, our company's treatment is really good. With the small amount of business before, I was afraid that the company would go bankrupt, but I didn't expect the boss to take a big job right away. It's really like not opening for half a year, but making a living for half a year after opening."
Just as everyone was talking, the arrival of a figure instantly restored peace to the entire office area.
"Mr. Qin."
"Good afternoon, Mr. Qin."
Qin Hao nodded to everyone, then called all the company's management to the conference room, and the office area became lively again.
"The boss called a management meeting at this time. Could it be that he received another big job and needs to work overtime?"
"As long as I get paid for overtime, I don't mind. I'll be fine if I go back home alone anyway."
Li Xiaoyue frowned, she really didn't want to work overtime. No matter how much money she was paid, twenty thousand a month was enough for her to spend, but time was gone forever.
In Li Xiaoyue's opinion, life is short and one should enjoy it while he can, otherwise it will be meaningless no matter how much money one makes.
Just when Li Xiaoyue was feeling depressed, she suddenly received a message from Qin Hao on her mobile phone.
"do you have time at night?"
"That depends on whether I work overtime or not, boss!!!"
Seeing Li Xiaoyue adding three exclamation marks after the word "boss", Qin Hao couldn't help but laugh. This girl really has no tolerance for overtime.
"No, do you think that the money every day comes from the wind? Now that the popularity has been established, it will be fine if we maintain a certain level of popularity in the future. Who can afford to spend money like this?"
Li Xiaoyue immediately sent a flattering smiley face emoticon.
As soon as the working hours get off the office, there is basically no one in the office area. Both employees and managers have become accustomed to this rhythm.
Qin Hao walked to Li Xiaoyue's workstation and asked, "Have you thought of where to have a good meal?"
“That depends on whether you’re treating or you want to split the bill.” Li Xiaoyue smiled, her eyes slightly curved, like a kitten that had stolen a fish.
"I'm treating you, and you're so stingy that you're not willing to work overtime."
Facing Qin Hao's complaints, Li Xiaoyue retorted: "Overtime seriously affects my pursuit of joy in life. If I get depressed one day, the money I earn from overtime will not be enough to treat my mental illness."
"Everyone else in this world may be depressed, but you, Li Xiaoyue, will never be depressed."
"Hehe, the one who knows me best is Lao Qin."
After getting to know each other, Li Xiaoyue no longer called him boss all the time as before. The reason she called him "Lao Qin" was that, according to her, Qin Hao had the aura of a mature old man, so "Lao Qin" became Li Xiaoyue's private "nickname" for Qin Hao.
The weather in Beijing in December was already very cold. Li Xiaoyue brought Qin Hao to a residential area in a small alley. Who would have thought that there was a copper pot hot pot restaurant hidden here.
"You can find such a secret place, Li Xiaoyue, you are such a good eater." Qin Hao gave a thumbs up after sitting down.
Li Xiaoyue raised her chin proudly: "Only delicious food can't be wasted. This is our food, drink and entertainment group. Tens of thousands of group members have spent time and money to step into countless traps and summed up their experience. I wouldn't bring him here if he's not an ordinary person."
"So, I'm not an ordinary person?"
"You are extremely annoying." Li Xiaoyue heard the hidden meaning in Qin Hao's words and rolled her eyes at him.
Soon, plates of freshly cut meat were served. Li Xiaoyue and Qin Hao were very similar in this respect, both of them loved meat.
While eating the steaming copper pot hot pot meat, Li Xiaoyue suddenly said something.
"By the way, there is a Hanfu exhibition this weekend. Do you have time?"
Qin Hao looked at Li Xiaoyue's slightly flushed cheeks and couldn't help laughing.
"What are you laughing at? If you don't want to go, forget it."
"Go, must go."
Li Xiaoyue gave Qin Hao a coquettish look.
After dinner, Qin Hao followed Li Xiaoyue to the night market again. It was not until nine o'clock in the evening that Li Xiaoyue suggested that they go home.
"Let me take you there. It's so late."
Li Xiaoyue put her hands in her pockets and stamped her feet: "Come on, you haven't bought a car. If you take me there later, the subway will be out of service."
"Then take a taxi back. Are you worried that I can't afford the taxi fare?"
"It's a waste. You might as well treat me to a meal later with this money."
"It's not safe for you as a girl at night."
"But why do I feel that you are more dangerous?"
Li Xiaoyue said this with a smile and ran into the subway entrance.
……
On weekends, the group of people who like to eat, drink and have fun was particularly lively early in the morning. The reason was very simple. Li Xiaoyue suddenly announced that there would be a Hanfu exhibition today, and she had also made an appointment with someone.
"A person? Who is it?"
"Man or woman?"
"Nonsense, if it was a girl she would definitely just call her beautiful."
"Oh, so you're a man. Are you handsome? Do you have a girlfriend?"
Li Xiaoyue sent an eyes-rolling emoticon to the group.
"Can you all be more reserved? Be careful not to scare people away."
"Yo~~~ I haven't even seen this person yet, but they're already protecting him. It looks like something's going on."
Just as Li Xiaoyue was joking with her girlfriends, a new BMW 5 Series stopped in front of her.
Li Xiaoyue wore light makeup today, with curled eyelashes, light brown eyeshadow, and light pink lips, looking fresh and sweet. Her jet-black hair was gently tied up with an exquisite hairband, and her slender figure was wrapped in an orange coat, which was obviously inconsistent with her makeup today.
"Sorry for the wait. Come up."
“When did you buy the car?”
"yesterday."
“…Isn’t it because of what I said that night?” Li Xiaoyue stuck out her tongue embarrassedly.
Qin Hao smiled and said, "It's half and half. I didn't buy a car before because the subway was convenient enough. Now I have to visit clients frequently, so it's always inconvenient not to have a car."
"Where did you get your license plate?"
"The client company happened to have a license plate indicator, so they gave me one."
"Is there such a good thing?"
"This marketing campaign was so effective and helped the client earn so much money. What does a license plate indicator mean?"
"That's right. The hyaluronic acid masks are selling like hot cakes this time. My roommate watched the live broadcast and tried several times to grab one but failed."
"Your marketing planning also contributed to this."
Li Xiaoyue rolled her eyes and said, "Please ask the leaders to implement the praise in a practical way, preferably in the form of bonuses."
"Money-grubber." Qin Hao scolded with a smile.
The two chatted and laughed along the way and soon arrived at the convention center.
The scale of this Hanfu exhibition is quite large. In the parking lot, we saw many young men and women wearing Hanfu walking towards the convention and exhibition center.
When Li Xiaoyue got off the car, she took off her coat directly. Qin Hao then discovered that she was wearing a high-waisted skirt underneath.
"How's it going? Is it okay?"
Li Xiaoyue turned around on the spot, and the hem of her skirt bloomed like a flower, adding a touch of elegance to her pretty face.
"It feels a bit out of place for me to walk next to you like this."
"Let's go, there are a lot of beautiful Hanfu in the exhibition."
At the entrance of the convention and exhibition center, Li Xiaoyue briefly introduced several of her close friends to Qin Hao.
"Oh, so you are Xiaoyue's boss."
Qin Hao smiled and said, "Just call me Lao Qin."
"Oh, so you've started to call me this intimately."
Faced with the teasing of her besties, Li Xiaoyue blushed and said nothing, but did not deny it.
While Qin Hao was checking tickets, several girlfriends tactfully walked away, allowing Li Xiaoyue and Qin Hao to act alone.
"Wow, these Hanfu costumes are so beautiful."
Li Xiaoyue stopped in front of a platform. Qin Hao originally thought that she was interested in those women's Hanfu sets, but Li Xiaoyue pushed Qin Hao to the fitting room.
When Qin Hao came out again, he had changed into a plain white robe with wide sleeves and a wide green brocade belt with auspicious clouds around his waist. From a distance, he looked like an ancient nobleman walking out of a painting. The only flaw was that his hair was not long enough to tie it up.
"Miss, your boyfriend looks so handsome in this Hanfu."
Li Xiaoyue's pretty face turned slightly red, but she did not explain to the merchant the relationship between her and Qin Hao. All her attention was on Qin Hao.
"If you keep touching me like this, I may not be able to bear it." Qin Hao teased.
Li Xiaoyue spat lightly: "Rogue."
"It's you who's being rude to me."
"Huh, I'm just admiring it."
"So, are you done enjoying it?"
"Not even close. Why don't you grow your hair long in the future?"
Qin Hao rolled his eyes: "Why don't you just let me wear this to meet the client."
“It’s not impossible. We can leave a deep impression on customers at first sight.” Li Xiaoyue smiled.
"That's certainly not a good impression."
After buying the Hanfu directly, Qin Hao and Li Xiaoyue continued to visit the exhibition. As a result, they became like NPCs along the way, and many tourists even came over to take photos with them.
"Should we put up a sign saying twenty for taking photos next time?"
Li Xiaoyue's eyes lit up: "That's a good idea."
"You're a money-grubber. You're so enthusiastic when it comes to making money, but you're so resistant to working overtime." Qin Hao scolded with a smile.
"That's different. Hanfu is a hobby. Isn't it a happy thing to make money with your hobby? As for work, it's enough to just have enough food and clothing."
"Crooked."
"Hehe, it doesn't matter if it's a crooked logic or a correct logic, as long as it makes sense, it's fine."
As she spoke, Li Xiaoyue pulled Qin Hao into a Hanfu exhibition booth. Throughout the whole day, Qin Hao was pulled by Li Xiaoyue to change into five or six sets of Hanfu.
It was finally 6:30 in the afternoon when Li Xiaoyue could no longer walk around.
After dinner, Qin Hao drove Li Xiaoyue home.
Perhaps because she was too tired on the journey, Li Xiaoyue fell asleep leaning on the passenger seat.
When they arrived at the community where Li Xiaoyue lived, Qin Hao stopped the car on purpose.
Half an hour later, Li Xiaoyue woke up slowly.
"We're here, why don't you wake me up."
"You were sleeping so soundly, I didn't have the heart to disturb you."
Li Xiaoyue unbuckled her seat belt and was about to open the door, but was stopped by Qin Hao.
"Just leave like that?"
"Ah, what else?"
Li Xiaoyue covered her mouth and chuckled, the corners of her eyes slightly raised, feeling indescribably proud.
However, the next second, Li Xiaoyue's upturned eyes suddenly widened, and the delicate touch of her lips made her stunned.
After a long time, Li Xiaoyue pushed Qin Hao away, panting.
"you……"
Qin Hao leaned over to Li Xiaoyue's ear and whispered, "You said before that you hadn't thought about it yet, so you should be ready now, right?"
"No." Li Xiaoyue wrinkled her nose and snorted.
Qin Hao smiled evilly and said, "Oh, really? Then why didn't you push me away earlier?"
Li Xiaoyue was speechless for a moment.
"Humph, since this is a sneak attack, it doesn't count."
"is it?"
As soon as Qin Hao finished speaking, he kissed Li Xiaoyue's slightly cold lips.
The delicate touch made Li Xiaoyue hum unconsciously, and her eyes gradually became blurred. Qin Hao's actions were not limited to his lips and tongue.
"No, not yet."
Li Xiaoyue struggled to hold down Qin Hao's hand one second before she lost her mind.
"Sorry, I couldn't help myself." Qin Hao saw a light flashing in Li Xiaoyue's eyes, so he had to withdraw his hands.
Li Xiaoyue wrinkled her nose, snorted, and spat, "Rogue."
After saying that, he buttoned up his coat again, opened the car door and got out.
Just as Qin Hao was about to catch up, Li Xiaoyue suddenly leaned over and leaned on the car window: "Are you free tomorrow? Let's make pottery together."
"Okay, I'll pick you up tomorrow morning."
"Be here after ten o'clock. I can't get up too early." Li Xiaoyue herself didn't realize how much coquettish meaning there was in her words.
On Sunday, Li Xiaoyue spent the whole day in the pottery museum. At the end, she fired something and kept it secret. She didn't let Qin Hao participate until the end, when Qin Hao sent her home. Then she took out a gift box and handed it to Qin Hao, then ran upstairs.
Qin Hao unpacked the gift box and found that it was a cup.
As for the workmanship, it was only acceptable, but Qin Hao immediately took a photo of the cup and sent it to Li Xiaoyue.
"Thank you for the gift, I like it very much."
"As long as you like it, it's too late and I have to go to work tomorrow. I'm going to sleep, and you should go back and rest early too."
After Li Xiaoyue replied, she got into bed without even taking off her clothes. Her cheeks were burning hot as if she had a fever, and her heart was beating faster and faster.
On the other side, Qin Hao just returned to the rented house and found that Qin Lingling had been waiting at the door for a long time.
"Haozi, what happened to you these past two days? You didn't answer my calls or reply to my WeChat messages. I almost thought something happened to you."
Qin Lingling complained.
"It's the weekend now, give yourself two days off. What happened requires you to get so angry?" Qin Hao opened the door and put the glasses in the wine cabinet.
Qin Lingling looked at the teacup that didn't fit in with the wine cabinet suspiciously, and suddenly realized: "Which girl gave you this cup?"
"When will you bring it back for me to see?"
Qin Hao was speechless for a moment: "Sister, weren't you in a hurry just now? Are you not in a hurry now?"
"No matter how urgent it is, it's not as urgent as your lifelong event. What's the girl's name? Do you have a photo? What does her family do?"
Qin Hao quickly stopped her: "Stop, sister, this has just begun, you're going to scare people away again."
"Okay, you're starting to consider others. It looks like you're serious this time."
Seeing Qin Hao's firm attitude, Qin Lingling didn't waste any more time and changed the subject.
"Just now Na Wei reported to me that there are many hyaluronic acid masks on the market. What should we do now?"
