Through Thick and Thin

Chapter 66

Lu Chuiqing stared blankly at Xiao Zhan, who was half kneeling on the ground, and then looked at the exquisite little box in his hand. Everything about it, why Xiao Zhan suddenly brought him here, why did he feel that the work here The staff was so considerate and thoughtful, he immediately recalled it, and thought it all out for a while.

He and Xiao Zhan have been dating for more than two years, and the families of both parties have met, and the usual relationship is indeed no different from that of a young couple after marriage. In Lu Chuiqing's subconscious, he and Xiao Zhan don't need these ritual things However, Xiao Zhan still solemnly proposed to him.

Lu Chuiqing couldn't help but also knelt down on the ground, wrapped her arms around Xiao Zhan's neck, and said in a sour and sweet voice, "Can I have another answer? You made it so solemn, it scared me..."

Xiao Zhan put his arms around Lu Chuiqing, and smiled helplessly: "I proposed to you, why did you kneel down?"

"Then I'll propose to you too." Lu Chuiqing replied not to be outdone, "Although I didn't prepare anything... I will supply it to you later."

"Okay."

Xiao Zhan pulled Lu Chuiqing up, and the two sat on the double sofa on the balcony. He took out the diamond ring from the ring box, put it on Lu Chuiqing's finger, and kissed his lips: "Then I promise you too." proposed."

Lu Chuiqing stared at the ring on his finger. The simple and charming silver-white ring was set against the blue diamonds, as if he had tied a deeply loving and sincere oath on his finger.

He recalled all the things he had experienced in the past few years, from the initial hesitation to having a solid goal and direction of effort, from the initial fearful feelings to bravely throwing himself into the arms of the one he loves, from being alone to having a relationship with others. With Zhan's company, all of this is self-evident.

The two stayed on the viewing platform until almost twelve o'clock at night. After returning to the hotel, the romance and fiery beauty in the bedroom continued until the early morning.

The next morning, Lu Chuiqing slept until noon before opening her eyes.After he woke up, Xiao Zhan was no longer in the room. Lu Chuiqing turned on his phone and found that Xiao Zhan had left him a message, saying that he had gone to the restaurant to order food.

Because he was afraid of accidentally knocking on the bedside table last night, Lu Chuiqing took off the ring and carefully put it into the box. He looked at the hot silver brand logo on the diamond ring box, and checked it on his phone out of curiosity. about price.

After just taking a look, Lu Chuiqing didn't dare to look any further... Is this what it feels like to wear a house on your hand?If it hadn't been for the fact that his psychological endurance had improved a lot in the past two years, he might have really fallen off the bed in fright on the spot.

Lu Chuiqing put a coat on himself and got up to wash. He heard the doorbell ring just after washing. He trotted forward and looked through the peephole, and sure enough it was Xiao Zhan who came back.

Lu Chuiqing opened the door, and Xiao Zhan was carrying a few plastic bags in his hand. He thought that Lu Chuiqing would probably sleep until noon today. After entering the door, he saw that Lu Chuiqing was only wearing a top. The appearance of lying back on the bed.

Xiao Zhan put his lunch on the table: "Are you hungry?"

"A little bit." Lu Chuiqing scratched her hair in embarrassment, "Why don't you let the restaurant deliver it? How troublesome it is to go down and get it yourself."

"I went to see my project partner here early in the morning, and it just ended." Xiao Zhan said, "I'll bring it with me when I get back."

It was only then that Lu Chuiqing remembered that Xiao Zhan had indeed told him yesterday that he was going to see a client today. It turned out that Xiao Zhan had gone out early in the morning. He was tired and slept soundly last night, and he was not woken up at all.

The two sat down at the bar to eat. During the meal, Lu Chuiqing couldn't help but look at the diamond ring on his finger. Seeing this, Xiao Zhan said, "My dad wants to hold our engagement banquet in October, Xiaoqing, you how do you feel?"

Lu Chuiqing raised her head in surprise, her cheeks felt slightly hot, and she replied, "I... I can do anything, is there anything I can prepare?"

"My dad will help us arrange it, and tell us if necessary, don't worry." Xiao Zhan paused, "Is there anything going on with Zhongming recently?"

Lu Chuiqing hesitated for a while, he somehow felt that Xiao Zhan seemed to have something in his words, but he also wondered if he was thinking too much, and replied: "I am busy with the new department, I will start training next Monday, and I will wait for the department next month Everything has been implemented and the project has been docked, so it will probably be better.”

Xiao Zhan nodded, and said lightly: "What about the rumor? Why didn't you tell me?"

Lu Chuiqing was taken aback, she immediately showed embarrassment, and looked away.Xiao Zhan's voice was obviously a little bit unhappy. I don't know if it was because he kept this matter from him, or because he was wronged but didn't want to tell him, or it was both.

Lu Chuiqing pouted slightly: "How do you know?"

"Xiaoye told me that her boyfriend works in the personnel department of Zhongming." Xiao Zhan replied, "Not everyone in your department has heard of it, so it should have a big impact, right?"

"I don't think it's necessary to tell you. Anyway, I'm going to be promoted anyway, and I really didn't pass it on later. Didn't telling you affect your mood..." Lu Chuiqing saw Xiao Zhan's expression really Not really happy, she deliberately raised her voice and said, "What's the matter, I dare you to think about this when you proposed to me yesterday, how could you treat your fiancée like this!"

Hearing this sentence, Xiao Zhan finally couldn't help but raised the corner of his mouth and smiled helplessly.

He really wanted to have a good talk with Xiaoqing about this matter, but he didn't expect that Lu Chuiqing's few words would distort the atmosphere, just the word "fiancée" dissipated most of Xiao Zhan's unhappiness.

Seeing Xiao Zhan's smile, Lu Chuiqing silently breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "This matter is over, and it doesn't affect anything. Those who believe in my character will naturally believe in me, and those who don't believe in it will of course listen to me." Wind is rain."

Xiao Zhan: "Do you know who sent it?"

Lu Chuiqing: "There are suspects, but the specifics are not clear, and I don't want to pursue it. And aren't we getting engaged? This is the best way to clarify."

Xiao Zhan nodded and said, "Don't worry me next time something like this happens."

That afternoon, the two returned to City S by plane. After returning home, Lu Chuiqing had to sort out the things for tomorrow's training, while Xiao Zhan went to the study alone.

Xiao Zhan called Fang Jiaming, and after the call was connected, he asked straight to the point: "Uncle, what happened to the rumor about me and Xiaoqing a few days ago?"

"You know?" Fang Jiaming said, "Xiao Lu told you?"

"I heard about it from Xiao Ye." The uncle knew that his assistant's boyfriend was working in Zhongming, so Xiao Zhan didn't need to say much, "Did someone spread the story on purpose?"

Fang Jiaming: "I asked someone to check it out quietly. The news came from someone from the same trust fund team as Xiao Lu at first. That person's name was Wu Xu, who was doing research on corporate bonds. Dong has some relatives, he was recruited formally, and his usual work ability is still good. This time, Xiao Lu was elected as the deputy manager, but he was not selected. Last year, Xiao Lu also compared him in the forum. I guess He was not convinced, and wanted to smear Xiao Lu's reputation in the company, and he didn't know where he found out about your relationship with Xiao Lu, and deliberately gossiped with colleagues around him, so it spread."

After hearing this, Xiao Zhan was silent for a while, and said, "It's not easy for you to do this."

"Yes, even if it is found out that it is him, the company will not be able to punish him publicly. After all, three people become tigers. I don't know how many people in the middle will add fuel to the fire. The company also has this kind of reporting system, but he took advantage of it. Director Zhao still has to save some face, at most he will give you a warning." Fang Jiaming sneered, "But that's all, for a trivial matter, he insists on fighting for superiority, and uses such indecent means, such a person Nothing good."

Xiao Zhan: "I see."

"Uncle knows that you love Xiao Lu for being wronged like this, I believe you have a sense of proportion."

Xiao Zhan smiled lightly.

Lu Chuiqing officially became the deputy manager of the new real estate trust fund department in early September after receiving a one-week short-term management training.

It was the first time that Lu Chuiqing took up an important management position, and Lu Chuiqing's office was moved from the original research department to the new department, and she had her own office.

The company arranged an assistant for Lu Chuiqing. This assistant just jumped over from another real estate company last year. After all, this new fund involves many processes in real estate projects. An assistant with working experience in the real estate industry can bring a lot to Lu Chuiqing. s help.

After finishing tidying up the office, Lu Chuiqing sat on the chair and let out a sigh of relief.He looked at the ceiling of the office in a daze, then looked at the name tag of the deputy manager on his desk, and the newly printed business card on the corner of the desk.

On the light gray gold-stamped business card, the words "Deputy Manager" are printed neatly. These three words may be an enviable title in the eyes of others, but to him, there is still a bit of a title. special meaning.

This is not only a recognition of the hard work he has put in for nearly three years, but also the recognition of everything he has put in for the past six years.

He was one step closer to the life he really wanted.

The work of the deputy manager is much more flexible than Lu Chuiqing's previous research work. He has to deal with more people and things than when he only faced data most of the time. Although the working hours are much more relaxed, But the pressure is not reduced at all.

The funds their department is in charge of are not like the existing ones on the market. The real estate trust fund market has just started in China, and they must settle down to understand and grasp this emerging market. The results will not be achieved in a day or two. see.

After finishing today's work, Lu Chuiqing packed his things and went home. He left the company straight away and walked through the green belt in front of the building. He didn't notice at all that a figure was staring at him with a gloomy face just by the window of a certain floor of the company building.

Standing by the window, Wu Xu looked at Lu Chuiqing's back with disgust.

When he was on a business trip with Lu Chuiqing for the first time the year before last, Wu Xu discovered that when Lu Chuiqing faced Manager Yuan, who was value scanning at that time, he had a pretentious posture as if he wanted to deliberately attract the other party's attention.

Not long ago, Wu Xu happened to see Mr. Xiao's car at the intersection. Almost everyone in Mr. Xiao's car company did not know him, and the person standing next to his car was Lu Chuiqing.Wu Xu clearly saw that the two were acting intimately.

He never thought that he was any worse than Lu Chuiqing, but why did Lu Chuiqing compare him over and over again?Why?Just because he is an Omega, he knows how to use his body to find a relationship for himself?

He couldn't swallow it.

Wu Xu's family conditions are good, not to mention that he has some relatives with Director Zhao of the board of directors. Although the relatives are not very close, it is enough to make other colleagues in the company respect him when they talk to him.

His parents worked in engineering, because a few years ago, there was a small problem in the acceptance of a project, and as a result, they could not bid for the past two years, and the family's income was a little tight.However, last week his parents' engineering company finally negotiated with the bidding company, and the final contract was signed.

That project is a big project, if the contract can be signed, it will indeed relieve their family's urgent need.

At this moment, Wu Xu's cell phone rang, and after he connected it, his father's angry roar suddenly came from the cell phone: "What trouble have you caused me in the company?!"
