PDLP Chapter 1840 Try?
Chapter 1840 Try?
Shen Xi thought that, given Xiao Qi's abnormal personality, he would probably relentlessly pursue her and use all sorts of tricks.
But in reality? He remained silent.
He neither followed her nor lurked around her all the time, nor did he harass her with phone calls or messages.
He went out early and returned late every day with the inspection team, while Shen Xi went to academic exchange meetings with her mentor.
She specially swapped her classes with her colleagues to make time for Ji Anqing's academic exchange meeting.
She and Xiao Qi barely even saw each other. Shen Xi had originally considered whether to tell Chen Chuan, but seeing that Xiao Qi was calm, she decided to wait and see.
After all, she felt it wasn't a good habit to rely on Chen Chuan for everything.
This is a minor matter; she can handle it herself.
The delegation plans to stay in Hecheng for about a week, visiting Zhou Yan's factory and the neighboring Huishi, where one of the top new energy battery manufacturers in China is located.
Naturally, the Yaxi Group team also wanted to visit, since Yaxi has the most advanced solar panel technology.
Zhou Yan has been quite busy lately. On the first day, he personally accompanied the delegation on their inspection and provided them with a warm welcome. That same evening, he took a plane to Europe for a business trip. In the following days, he was accompanied by the group's vice president.
As for Yaxi Group, Xi Chen is definitely not there; only the vice president is present.
But Dean Lin didn't care at all. As a researcher, seeing the latest technologies and products was more important than anything else. As for who accompanied him, it was none of his business, and he didn't care.
It would be best if no one accompanied him, and it would be even better if that annoying Xiao Qi got rid of him. Seeing him reminds him of his student who committed suicide, and he even wants to put rat poison in his cup.
Unfortunately, Xiao Qi didn't leave.
Not only did he not leave, but during his work inspection, he was extremely serious and had a thorough understanding of all the production processes in the manufacturing of new energy vehicles. When he visited other people's factories, his eyes were always focused on the most critical parts, and the questions he asked were insightful and meaningful. He was by no means a spoiled brat who knew nothing.
On the contrary, they know too much.
No wonder he managed to start such a big company on his own; he's quite capable.
Lin Changnan privately sighed to Ji Anqing, "No wonder Xiaomin fell for him back then."
A man who is handsome and rich, not just a good-looking spendthrift, but also capable and resourceful, and who can say sweet words, what woman could resist him?
Lin Changnan, still feeling uneasy, instructed Ji Anqing again: "You have to keep a close eye on your female student."
"You don't need to tell me!" Ji Anqing rolled her eyes at him.
He kept a close eye on his own little cabbage, taking Shen Xi with him everywhere he went, never letting her be alone.
They attended a meeting together during the day, but Shen Xi didn't stay at a hotel that night; she went home.
With my husband and children by my side, I feel much more at ease.
With strict precautions in place, Ji Anqing was quite satisfied with his airtight protective net, feeling that he wouldn't give Xiao Qi, a dissolute young man, any chance to take advantage of him.
Unfortunately, he underestimated the power of money.
On the fourth day, Dean Lin and his entourage went to a neighboring city to inspect a battery factory, and Ji Anqing breathed a long sigh of relief.
At least I don't have to guard against thieves every day anymore.
These past few days, he's truly experienced what it means to be afraid of thieves, not of them stealing from you.
Whenever she had free time, she would brainwash Shen Xi, telling her never to believe what men say, that people with families need to be responsible for their families, and so on.
Then Shen Xi took the opportunity to steal a lot of his precious tea leaves, because in order to maintain family stability, her husband also wanted to drink some good tea.
Ji Anqing: ...
I just can't understand it. What connection does her husband's drinking of good tea have with the harmony and stability of her family?
But what can he do when this student is so talkative? He simply can't win an argument with her, and he'll inevitably get a taste of her sharp tongue.
Fortunately, Shen Xi wasn't completely heartless. She also sent Ji Anqing a large bag of wild tea from the mountains, which Uncle Wu Si had picked and roasted himself. It was indeed very fragrant and had a unique rustic charm.
Ji Anqing was so drunk that his senses were practically flying off his face, which showed how satisfied he was.
Shen Xi was quite adept at coaxing old men.
There was no meeting today, so Ji Anqing planned to visit an old friend. Shen Xi happened to have classes in the morning but was free in the afternoon, so the teacher dragged her along.
He said he would introduce her to several industry leaders so that she could ask them for help with any academic problems she might have while she was away in Jing City.
To be honest, asking about schoolwork was secondary; Shen Xi understood Ji Anqing's intentions perfectly.
This is because her teacher introduced her to these connections. After all, these big shots have all settled in Hecheng and are considered influential figures in their respective industries.
Although Shen Xi did not intend to achieve anything spectacular, if one is ambitious, who would want to regress?
What else is there to say? Shen Xi ran harder than anyone else.
As for Cheng Xuri, Zheng Shou had a business deal that summoned him. As soon as he heard that, he picked up his tools and went by himself. He showed no signs of being socially awkward, unwilling to meet people, or afraid to ride alone.
Ji Anqing, who had been abandoned, felt both relieved and disappointed.
The student has grown up; everyone else is more important to him now.
Fortunately, there is Shen Xi.
Shen Xi arrived at the hotel at 2 PM to pick up Ji Anqing. As soon as she stepped into the lobby, a waiter handed her a bouquet of roses. The bright red flowers were delicate and fragrant.
It's clearly not an ordinary variety, but rather the kind of fresh-cut flower that's air-freighted and very expensive.
Tucked among the deep red flowers was a small card: Your slap, like these flowers, is passionate and unrestrained. It makes me yearn for you.
Holy crap, after a few days of calm, the pervert is back.
The waitress quickly left after handing over the bouquet, but Shen Xi caught up with her in a few steps and, ignoring her struggles, stuffed the flowers into her arms.
"Who told you to deliver this? Give it back to whoever you want. I don't collect trash."
"Madam, please don't put me in a difficult position..."
"When you took the money, I didn't see that you were in a difficult position, did you?" Shen Xi glanced at her employee badge and planned to send her the complaint package later. After all, it was what she deserved, so there was no need to be polite.
After she finished speaking, she turned and left, pressed the elevator button, and as soon as the door opened, Xiao Qi leaned against the elevator wall, raised his hand and smiled flirtatiously at her: "Hey, beautiful, wanna go on a date? The adult kind."
He raised an eyebrow: "Let me relieve my lovesickness."
Shen Xi:......
Fuck!
Great, the other elevators conveniently had yellow signs indicating they were under maintenance placed at their entrances, meaning she had to take one with him.
Although the repair was likely a scam, after all, what wouldn't Xiao Qi do?
But Shen Xi smiled slightly and entered the elevator.
Xiao Qi leaned closer, pressing against her cheek with one hand, and asked in a low, magnetic voice, "Knowing I have feelings for you, you still came in, huh?"
"If a lamb enters the tiger's mouth, it will be devoured completely."
Shen Xi smiled even more sweetly: "Want to give it a try?"
