Chapter 1020 Cup

Creative Engine Office Area.

As the get off work was about to end, Li Xiaoyue stretched: "Alas, I finally finished the hyaluronic acid mask project every day. I shouldn't have to work overtime this time, right?"

"It's not good to have to work 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 previous business volume, I was afraid that the company would go bankrupt. I didn't expect the boss to take a big job right away. It's really a half-year of non-opening, and half-year of eating after opening."

Just as everyone was discussing, the arrival of a figure instantly restored the tranquility of the entire office area.

"Boss Qin."

"Good afternoon, Boss Qin."

Qin Hao nodded to everyone, and then called all the company's management to the conference room, and the office area became active again.

"The boss called a meeting of the management at this time. Could it be that he has received some big job and needs to work overtime?"

"Overtime, as long as I am paid overtime, I don't care. Anyway, I have nothing to do when I go back home alone."

Li Xiaoyue frowned. She really didn't want to work overtime. It didn't matter if she was paid more. Twenty thousand a month was enough for her, but time was gone and could not be turned back.

In Li Xiaoyue's view, life is short and you should enjoy it while you can, otherwise it would be meaningless to make more money.

Just when Li Xiaoyue was depressed, her mobile phone suddenly received a message from Qin Hao.

"Do you have time in the evening?"

"That depends on whether you work overtime, boss!!!"

Seeing Li Xiaoyue add three exclamation marks after the boss, Qin Hao couldn't help laughing. This girl really has no tolerance for overtime.

"No, do you think the money every day is blown by the wind? Now that the popularity has been established, it will be fine if you maintain a certain popularity in the future. Who can bear to burn money like this?"

Li Xiaoyue immediately sent a flattering smiley face emoticon package.

It was just after get off work, and there was basically no one in the office area. Both employees and managers were used to this rhythm.

Qin Hao walked to Li Xiaoyue's workstation: "Have you thought of where to have a good meal?"

"That depends on whether you treat me or go AA." Li Xiaoyue smiled, her eyes slightly curved, like a kitten that stole fish.

"I treat you, look at how stingy you are, and you are not willing to work overtime."

Facing Qin Hao's complaints, Li Xiaoyue retorted: "Overtime seriously affects my search for the joy of life. If I get depressed one day, the money I earn from overtime is not enough for me 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 is Lao Qin."

After getting to know each other, Li Xiaoyue no longer called him boss all the time. The reason why she called him "Lao Qin" was that, according to her, Qin Hao had the taste of a mature old man, so "Lao Qin" became Li Xiaoyue's "nickname" for Qin Hao in private.

The weather in Beijing in December was already very cold. Li Xiaoyue took 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 really good at eating." Qin Hao sat down and gave a thumbs up.

Li Xiaoyue raised her chin proudly: "Only food should not be let down. This is our eating, drinking and playing group. Tens of thousands of group members have spent time and money to step on countless pits and summed up their experience. I won't bring ordinary people here."

"So, I am not an ordinary person?"

"You are not an ordinary annoying person." Li Xiaoyue heard the implication of Qin Hao's words and rolled her eyes at him.

Soon, a plate of freshly cut meat was served. Li Xiaoyue and Qin Hao are very similar in this respect. They both love meat.

Eating the steaming copper pot hot pot, 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, you must go."

Li Xiaoyue rolled her eyes at Qin Hao.

After dinner, Qin Hao went to the night market with Li Xiaoyue again. It was not until nine o'clock in the evening that Li Xiaoyue suggested that they go home separately.

"I'll take you there. It's so late."

Li Xiaoyue put her hands in her pockets and stamped her feet: "Come on, you don't have a car. If you take me there, the subway will be out of service."

"Then take a taxi back. Are you afraid 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 a girl like you at night."

"But why do I think you are more dangerous?"

Li Xiaoyue said with a smile and ran into the subway entrance.

…

On weekends, the eating, drinking and having fun group was particularly lively early in the morning. The reason was very simple. Li Xiaoyue suddenly announced that there was a Hanfu exhibition today, and she had also made an appointment with someone.

“A person? Who is that person?”

“A man or a woman?”

“Nonsense, if it was a girl, she would definitely say beautiful girl directly.”

“Oh, it turns out to be a man. Is he handsome? Does he have a girlfriend?”

Li Xiaoyue sent an eye-rolling emoticon to the group.

“Can you be more reserved? Be careful not to scare people away.”

“Yo~~~ I haven’t even seen this person yet, but he’s already protecting her. It seems like something is going on.”

Just as Li Xiaoyue was joking with her girlfriends, a new BMW 5 Series stopped in front of them.

Today, Li Xiaoyue wore light makeup, with curled eyelashes and light brown eyeshadow, and light pink lips, which made her look fresh and sweet. Her black hair was lightly tied up by a delicate headband, and her slender figure was wrapped in an orange coat, which obviously did not match her makeup today.

"Sorry for the long wait, come up."

"When did you buy the car?"

"Yesterday."

"...Is 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 often go to clients' places. It's always inconvenient to not have a car."

"Where did you get your license plate?"

"The client's company happened to have a license plate quota, so they gave me one."

"Is there such a good thing?"

"The marketing effect this time is so good, and it helps the client make so much money. What's a license plate quota?"

"That's right. The hyaluronic acid mask is selling like crazy this time. My roommate watched the live broadcast and tried to grab it several times but couldn't get it."

"Your marketing planning also contributed to this."

Li Xiaoyue's eyes turned: "Please ask the leaders to implement the praise, and it is best to reflect it in the form of bonuses."

"Money-grubber." Qin Hao laughed and scolded.

The two talked and laughed all the way, and soon arrived at the exhibition center.

This Hanfu exhibition is quite large. In the parking lot, many young men and women wearing Hanfu walked towards the 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 inside.

"How is it, okay?"

Li Xiaoyue turned around on the spot, and the hem of her skirt bloomed like a flower, adding a bit of elegance to her pretty face.

"I feel a bit out of place walking next to you like this."

"Let's go, there are many beautiful Hanfu in the exhibition."

At the entrance of the exhibition center, Li Xiaoyue simply introduced several of her girlfriends to Qin Hao.

"Oh, so you are Xiaoyue's boss."

Qin Hao smiled: "Just call me Lao Qin."

"Oh, it turns out that you have started to call me so intimately."

Faced with the booing of her girlfriends, Li Xiaoyue blushed and didn't say anything, but she didn't deny it.

While Qin Hao was checking tickets, several girlfriends walked away tactfully, allowing Li Xiaoyue and Qin Hao to act alone.

"Wow, these Hanfu sets are so beautiful."

Li Xiaoyue's footsteps were frozen 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 green auspicious cloud-shaped wide brocade belt 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 blushed slightly, but she did not explain the relationship between her and Qin Hao to the merchant. She focused all her attention 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 obviously you who are being a hooligan to me."

"Humph, I'm appreciating it."

"Then are you done appreciating it?"

"Not even close, how about you keep 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, I'll leave a deep impression on the client at first sight." Li Xiaoyue smiled like a flower.

"That's definitely not a good impression."

After buying the Hanfu, Qin Hao and Li Xiaoyue continued to visit the exhibition. As a result, they became NPCs along the way. Many tourists even came to take photos with them.

"Should we put up a sign next time and write 20 yuan for taking photos?"

Li Xiaoyue's eyes lit up: "This is a good idea."

"You are so enthusiastic about making money, but you are so resistant to overtime." Qin Hao laughed and scolded.

"That's different. Hanfu is a hobby. Isn't it a very happy thing to make money with your hobby? Going to work is enough to get enough food and clothing."

"Wrong reason."

"Hehe, no matter whether it's a wrong reason or a right reason, it's okay as long as it makes sense."

As he said that, Li Xiaoyue pulled Qin Hao into a Hanfu booth again. 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 way, Li Xiaoyue fell asleep directly on the passenger seat.

When they arrived at the community where Li Xiaoyue rented, Qin Hao stopped the car on purpose.

Half an hour later, Li Xiaoyue woke up faintly.

"We're here, why didn't you wake me up?"

"Seeing that 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 this?"

"Ah, what else?"

Li Xiaoyue smiled softly with her hands covering her mouth, her eyes slightly raised, and she was indescribably proud.

However, the next second, Li Xiaoyue's raised eyes suddenly enlarged, and the delicate touch of her lips made her stunned.

After a long time, Li Xiaoyue panted and pushed Qin Hao away.

"You..."

Qin Hao leaned close to Li Xiaoyue's ear and whispered: "You said you hadn't thought about it before, you should be ready now, right?"

"No." Li Xiaoyue wrinkled her nose and snorted.

Qin Hao smiled evilly: "Oh, really? Then why didn't you push me away earlier?"

Li Xiaoyue was speechless for a moment.

"Hmph, anyway, it's a sneak attack, so it doesn't count."

"Really?"

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 blurred. Qin Hao's actions were not limited to lips and tongue.

"Don't, not yet."

Li Xiaoyue struggled to hold Qin Hao's hand before losing her mind.

"Sorry, I can't help it." Qin Hao saw that Li Xiaoyue's eyes were faintly shining, so he had to retract his hands.

Li Xiaoyue wrinkled her nose, snorted, and spat: "Rogue."

After that, he buttoned up his coat again, opened the door and got out of the car.

Qin Hao was about to catch up, when Li Xiaoyue suddenly leaned over the car window and said, "Are you free tomorrow? Let's make pottery together."

"Okay, I'll pick you up tomorrow morning."

"Be there after 10 o'clock. I can't get up too early." Li Xiaoyue herself didn't realize how much coquettishness she had in her words.

On Sunday, Li Xiaoyue spent a whole day in the pottery museum. In the end, she fired something and made it mysterious, so as not to let Qin Hao participate. Until the end, when Qin Hao sent her home, she took out a gift box and gave it to Qin Hao, and then ran upstairs.

Qin Hao unpacked the gift box and found that it was a cup.

The workmanship was only acceptable, but Qin Hao immediately took a photo of the cup and sent it to Li Xiaoyue.

"Thank you for your gift, I like it very much."

"As long as you like it, it's too late, I have to go to work tomorrow, I'm going to sleep, you should go back and rest early."

After Li Xiaoyue replied, she got into bed without even taking off her clothes. Her cheeks were burning 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's wrong with you these two days? You don't answer the phone or reply to WeChat. I almost thought something happened to you."

Qin Lingling complained.

"It's the weekend, give yourself two days off, what happened, why are you so angry?" Qin Hao opened the door and put the cups 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?"

"Then 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: "Stop, sister, we've just started dating, you're going to scare her away again."

"Okay, you're starting to consider her, it seems you're serious this time."

Qin Lingling saw Qin Hao's firm attitude and 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?"
