828. Chapter 828: Drifting Away (Part 2)

"Qi Lei, I'm sorry... I didn't expect Aunt Wang to be so..."

Gu Lingsha said sadly, and it was not difficult to hide the hint of sadness in her voice.

However, before Gu Lingsha could finish her words, Qi Lei had already cut her off, "My mother is dead. Can you guys stop mentioning this in front of me? I told you I'm fine. I’m fine! I’m fine! Will I come back to work?”

When Qi Lei said this, there was a gloomy look in Shen Qing's eyes.

"I'm sorry, Qi Lei, don't be angry! I'm just... I'm just worried about you! Since you're fine, this is naturally a good thing! You look like you've lost a lot of weight. I hope you can take good care of yourself..."

Gu Lingsha's face turned pale, and she had no choice but to lower her voice and said.

Qi Lei didn't look at her again, turned around and walked forward, leaving Gu Lingsha with an indifferent back.

But Gu Lingsha remained stunned in place. She was a little unable to react to Qi Lei's sudden change of attitude, and felt a little weird about Qi Lei's indifference. After thinking for a long time, she could only lower her eyes a little lonely and dimly.

Qi Lei returned to his office unhurriedly. Yang Sheng had already packed up the documents in the office. When he saw Qi Lei's figure, he couldn't help but relax a little, and hurriedly greeted him, "Qi Lei." "Master, I was worried that you would be late!"

Qi Lei took off his coat and threw it on the table. He sat down in the chair leisurely, turned around and looked at the floor-to-ceiling windows behind him. He said calmly, "In your eyes, I am always late. Boss?"

Qi Lei's words immediately stunned Yang Sheng, and he couldn't help but think to himself -

Mr. Qi, is there any day when you, the old man, are not late? Aren't you just two minutes early today?

"What is this?"

Qi Lei soon discovered a pot of cactus lined up on the low stool by the window. They were green and round, very beautiful, and looked very energetic.

Yang Sheng followed Qi Lei's gaze, and when he saw the cactus, a smile appeared on his face, "This, I got this from Director Xi. I went to Shengshi to deliver information the day before yesterday. See There were several pots placed on the small window sill behind Director Xi, all of which were planted by Director Xi himself. I accidentally remembered that Mr. Qi, you don’t have these gadgets in your office, so I said it casually, and then Director Xi gave them this I chose the most beautiful one in a pot and said it would be given to you. I hope you can be like this little thing."

After Qi Lei heard this, the gloom on his handsome face faded a bit, and he couldn't help but smile. After thinking about it, he bent down and picked up the pot of cactus, looked at it, took a deep breath, and said with a sad smile. , "Cactus...she thinks this thing can be a metaphor for me? Do you think I look like the kind of person with thorns all over my body?"

After hearing this, Yang Sheng looked at Qi Lei very seriously, then shook his head and replied honestly, "No, not at all!"

Hearing this, Qi Lei chuckled, but there was a trace of gratitude in his dark eyes. He looked at the cactus for a long time before putting it back, "I understand what she meant...Okay, you can fight for me." Please give her a call and thank her. By the way, give Deputy Director Zhang a call and ask how things are going with Mu Yuchen and see if we can do anything."

Yang Sheng nodded silently, "Okay, I'll go right away. Oh, by the way, Mr. Qi, Manager Gu took the documents directly to Shengshi before. It should be about new materials. I heard that Director Xi was very dissatisfied. He scolded her and said that if you have any opinions, you should come to Shengshi to talk to them in person. In addition, at nine o'clock, President Qi called everyone for a meeting. It was about the Nanjiang No. 2 project. At noon, President Gu of Gu Feng invited you to have dinner together. , I will go to Nanjiang for inspection at three o'clock in the afternoon, and Miss Sun will invite you to have dinner with me tonight..."

"I know, let's put off dinner. I want to go back to Qi's house today to pack my mother's things."

Qi Lei said calmly.

Yang Sheng pondered, and then responded, "Okay, Mr. Qi!"

After saying that, he withdrew.

‘Bang! ’

The cautious sound of closing the door was heard, and Qi Lei suddenly seemed to soften. He raised his hand to hold his forehead, and after relaxing for a long time, he reached out and gently touched the prickly pear cactus, feeling a slight tingling sensation. Come on, he is finally sober.

The warm sun outside has risen high, and the morning breeze is light, carrying a faint scent of green grass. In response to the warm morning light, the whole person feels refreshed, and there is no trace of the previous days. Depressed.

"Director Xi, our stock market has begun to recover. Although it has not returned to before, it has begun to trend upward again. Assistant Li Si in the media has also taken care of it, so don't worry."

As soon as Xi Xiaye sat down in the office chair, Xiaomei said with joy.

Xi Xiaye also looked at the data displayed on the laptop screen in front of her, and there was a hint of relief in her eyes. She nodded with some relief, "Well, this is the result of everyone's joint efforts. Everyone has worked hard during this time. , When Dong Mu comes back, he will definitely reward everyone. Let’s go to Huangtian’s place to relax tonight, and all the expenses will be recorded in my name.”

"Really? Then let me thank you all, Director Xi! Director, you have been very tired recently, so you should take a good rest!"

Xiaomei smiled as she organized the documents in her hands and sent them to Xi Xiaye's desk.

Xi Xiaye nodded happily.

"By the way, Director Xi, Assistant Yang Sheng, Assistant to Vice President Qi, called just now and said that Vice President Qi said thank you and that cactus, he likes it very much, and will invite you and Mr. Mu to dinner someday."

Hearing this, Xi Xiaye raised her eyebrows leisurely and asked, "Is Vice President Qi back to work?"

Xiaomei nodded, "Yes, I came back to work this morning. Assistant Yang said that Vice President Qi is doing well now, so you don't have to worry. They are very grateful to Director Xi during this period."

Thank you?

She didn't do anything.

However, since Qi Lei was able to come out of the depression, this is a good thing.

"Okay, I know, you go out and get busy first."

Xi Xiaye was silent for a while, blinked, and then responded with this sentence in a low voice.

Xiaomei bowed respectfully, and then quietly withdrew.

Xi Xiaye was silent for a while, and subconsciously turned around to look at the remaining pots of cacti by the window. A faint warmth gathered in her eyes. She stood up and walked over, pulling up the sunshade. A warm light quietly poured in, filling the room instantly. It seemed that there was no longer the cold chill from before...
