C66 Su Huai Appeared
Life is like this. Some people, some things, the more annoyed they were with trying to draw a clear line, and the more they wanted to shake off the fact that they had never crossed paths with each other, the more often they would not be able to fulfill their wishes.
For example, He Chengqian.
For example, Zhang Xiaoyan.
Whenever these two people were free, they would definitely come to the project team. They were even more responsible than the inspectors that HMG had assigned to them. They would go in and out every day, chat, and talk slowly. They wouldn't let go of any details that were related to the progress of the project.
The temporary small meeting would always be held by He Cheng.
From the initial three to five people participating to the end of the entire group, He Cheng did not cause trouble for nothing. It also seemed that he had long since reconciled with Lin Jia and did not even deliberately make things difficult for her.
From a certain point of view, the project team could quickly enter a working state. He Chengqian's supervision and suggestions had a very positive effect.
There were many members in the team who had a good impression of him. He Cheng Qian put away all his aggressiveness, as if he really wanted to facilitate the closer cooperation between the two companies. Even Lin Jia could not find fault with his daily image.
But Lin Jia had seen He Chengqian's other side.
Intuition told her that. . . The more He Chengqian appeared harmless, the more she should be extremely careful about him. Especially when He Chengqian naturally gave her a gentle smile, a chill ran down Lin Jia's spine.
At noon, after having a simple meal, Lin Jia felt a little dizzy. She prepared to go to the simple bed and rest for half an hour.
He Chengqian pushed open the door and entered. After greeting people with a smile, he went in front of Lin Jia and hooked a chair to sit down.
"Manager He, is today another leisurely day? Your C & G job is really easy. You can come out from time to time. You are not worried that the company will think that you are not doing proper work and taking advantage of the situation to skip work, right?"
There was no one around, and it was lunch break. Lin Jia was lazy to pretend to be polite and tell He Cheng some insincere nonsense.
She simply lowered her voice and entered the "familiar" mode.
A faint smile had always been hanging on the corners of He Chengqian's mouth. That was a smile for the other members of the Silken Group to see. He did not want others to think that he did not get along with Lin Jia.
However, his conversation with Lin Jia was filled with coldness and impoliteness. "I really didn't expect that you would be the one to lead the Jin Xiu project team. Where's that hypocritical boyfriend of yours? Afraid that someone would expose his background and make the matter of him being a swindler known to the public, you decided to simply hide? "
"You really came for Su Huai. " Lin Jia was interested, and her sleepiness instantly vanished without a trace.
During the break time, there was no one in the large conference room, so it was very suitable to chat.
Thus, Lin Jia smiled provocatively. "Shall we go over and have a chat?"
He Chengqian conveniently picked up the two information sheets on Lin Jia's table. His voice was raised to the point that it could be heard by his colleagues not far away. "Coincidentally, there are a few sets of data that look unnatural in this table. I can accompany Miss Lin to calculate again. "
"You really know how to pretend. " Lin Jia got up and left.
He Cheng Qian followed behind her and put on a kind attitude as if he would listen to her.
However, when he entered the conference room and saw Lin Jia close the window tightly, the smile on his face instantly disappeared without a trace.
Lin Jia let out a leisurely breath, "You look much better now. At least you're not that scary. "
"You haven't changed at all. You're still annoying. " He Chengqian pulled out a chair and sat down.
His cold gaze continued to fall on Lin Jia as he recklessly threatened her.
"Exactly how great the enmity between you and Su Huai is. Is there a need to do it to such an extent?" It wasn't about work or merely gossiping, Lin Jia dragged her face with one hand and was filled with curiosity.
There was nothing that couldn't be asked by her.
As for whether He Cheng was willing to answer or not, she didn't really care.
"What is it? Your swindler boyfriend never told you about me? Or are you pretending to be confused and deliberately talking nonsense to me to tease me? " He Cheng Qian's words were relentless.
Lin Jia raised a slender index finger. "First of all, I have to correct a little. Su Huai isn't my boyfriend, and we can't be any more ordinary colleagues. "
Immediately after that, she raised her middle finger again and continued correcting He Cheng Qian's wrong impression. "Second, no matter what the situation between you and Su Huai is, please don't involve the innocent third party, which is me. This is extremely unfair, and it will make me even more look down on your half-crazy, half-crazy state of biting whenever you see someone. "
" You!! " He Cheng Qian immediately stood up after being provoked and clenched his fists.
Lin Jia's eyes were full of vigilance. "You'd better control your emotions. Otherwise, if I shout, my colleagues will rush in. When that happens, the gentle and friendly persona that you've created for a few days will collapse into pieces. "
He Cheng Qian glared at her coldly.
Lin Jia glared back at him, unwilling to be outdone. She kept looking for items that were more convenient to pick up in the conference room from the corner of her eye, hoping to find something that could be used for self-defense in an emergency.
"You actually have times when you are afraid. " Seeing through her worries, He Chengqian laughed rudely. "If you know how to be afraid, then don't mix around with those liars who are not even three or four steps away. Didn't your parents teach you not to trust others easily, especially those beasts who look good and have lies all over their mouths?"
"I think you look pretty good. " Lin Jia retorted in a neither soft nor hard manner.
She directly made He Chengqian stand up angrily, "Lin Jia, don't give me face and be shameless. "
"He Cheng Qian, if you keep tossing and turning, you will only say these few words. I advise you to shut up and listen to what I say. The Silken Program has already been determined to be carried out by me, and Su Huai has his own work to deal with. No matter under any circumstances, he wouldn't cross the line and come to the Silken Program Team. If you're prepared to make a mistake in my project to deal with Su Huai, I advise you to put this thought away as soon as possible and not waste your own time here. Even more so, don't even think about trampling on the painstaking efforts of others for the sake of a personal grudge. " Lin Jia crossed her arms, her eyes blazing with flames, without the slightest hint of fear or retreat. "What I said today is my final warning. If you exceed my bottom line, don't blame me for being rude to you. "
He Chengqian was stunned for a few seconds after hearing that. Suddenly, the corner of his mouth curled into a sneer as he started to applaud.
"I finally know why you took a fancy to that swindler. "
Lin Jia rolled her eyes. She knew that she was wasting her time again. It was a waste of her time talking to him here.
Once a person became paranoid to a certain extent, they would be like He Cheng, unable to listen to anything. They would only immerse themselves in their own world, covering their eyes and ears, allowing their stubbornness to dominate their rationality.
It is already like this, Lin Jia's interest wanes. She thought to herself that she was really too idle, actually trying to reason with He Cheng.
He recruited Zhang Xiaoyan to his side, and Zhang Xiaoyan similarly stubbornly believed that there was a certain degree of intimate relationship between her and Su Huai. These two fellows who similarly knew how to make up their minds gathered together and tried their best to think of the so-called truth that they'd obtained. How could it be so easy to overturn it?
"Both of them spoke loudly, and they spoke in the same dignified manner, and they also dared to do it. I don't deserve it, you two. . . "
Lin Jia grabbed the water bottle in front of her and threw it at He Cheng Qian.
The water bottle made a dull sound when it hit the ground.
He Cheng Qian only needed to dodge half a second later before his handsome face would break again.
"Are you crazy?" He simply could not believe that Lin Jia would directly attack him.
"Will gentle reasoning be useful against paranoid people?" Lin Jia sneered, "Did I not talk much just now?"
The two prime ministers confronted each other, unwilling to be outdone.
He Cheng Qian said hatefully, "Go back and tell Su Huai that it's useless to hide. What he owes me must be returned with not a single cent less. As for those things that can't be returned, he must return them as well. "
"I don't like you. Even if I see Su Huai, I won't pass on the message for you. He Cheng Qian, if you cause trouble in my territory, then don't blame me for giving you an eye for an eye. The worst situation is merely Jin Xiu's project's abortion, and I'm already mentally prepared. " Lin Jia shrugged. At this moment, she was already fearless.
The door of the meeting room was suddenly pushed open. Assistant Bei stuck her head in and saw Lin Jia. She smiled subconsciously and said, "Boss, someone is looking for you. "
"Who?" Lin Jia was speechless when she realized that He Cheng's expression changed a second before Assistant Bei appeared. His anger disappeared without a trace, and his smile looked very amiable.
It was such a pity that this man did not act.
If he went straight out and went to the film festival to bring back a few film emperors, it would be an easy and pleasant thing.
"Vice Director Su. " Assistant Bei answered.
Lin Jia was stunned. After thinking for a few seconds, she couldn't figure out who was Vice Director Su.
When she understood that the so-called Vice Director Su was referring to Su Huai who hadn't appeared for an entire week, she saw that the small fake smile hanging at the corner of He Cheng's mouth revealed dense ridicule.
He gave her a gaze that she could instantly understand and scolded her for being a huge swindler.
"Invite him in and directly come here. " Lin Jia said calmly.
"Come here?" Assistant Bei looked in He Cheng's direction and was a little worried.
"Yes, let's invite Vice Director Su here. Anyway, we're all old friends. It's rare to have an opportunity to meet and get in touch. Isn't that good?" The most important thing was that every injustice had its debtor. The dispute between men should be left to the men to resolve. She refused to be caught in the middle of being bullied.
Assistant Bei led Su Huai to the meeting room very quickly.
The instant he pushed open the door and entered, Lin Jia also saw his appearance clearly. He wore a light blue shirt, dark pants, distant eyes, and a faint temperament. They hadn't seen each other for a few days. He was a little different from before, but she couldn't tell what was different about him.
Lin Jia's nose suddenly became a little rough.
These days, she had not seen his figure, so she had always controlled herself not to think about him.
In fact, she had also done it. She faced him coldly and withdrew from her life. Just like when he had come without warning, she was also able to accept his sudden departure.
Until she saw him again.
Suddenly, Lin Jia had an impulse to go forward and fiercely tear apart the calm that Su Huai had displayed.
How could he be so indifferent?
Withdrawing indifferently after fiercely disrupting everything, as if nothing had happened.
