Chapter 1518: Chapter 1523: I Am on Top 9
Gu Qingxin’s phone suddenly rang. She picked it up, and Leng Weiliang’s voice came from the other end, "Hello, is this Qingxin?"
"Weiliang, is something wrong?" Gu Qingxin blinked hard.
"Qingxin... what did you tell your boyfriend? Why am I dispatched to a branch office and need to distribute flyers every day?" Leng Weiliang called her out of sheer frustration.
What she had in mind was working at the headquarters, sitting in the office every day, and having close contact with Beiming Han, like making coffee or pouring water for him.
She never thought she would be dispatched to a small, run-down branch office to hand out flyers.
Gu Qingxin, "..."
Although she never expected Beiming Han to make such a deployment, she didn’t see anything wrong with it either.
"Weiliang, we are students who haven’t graduated yet; it’s unrealistic to expect a good position waiting for us. If I were to work, I guess I would have to start from the grassroots too... If you perform well, you can naturally get promoted. Distributing flyers is also a job that tests one’s mettle."
"But... can’t it be changed? Could you mention it to your boyfriend again? My health is not good right now; I can’t do this job," Leng Weiliang was still not satisfied.
Gu Qingxin simply said, "I believe there’s a reason and purpose in the way he has arranged things."
"..."
"Once I’ve recovered a bit, Qianqian and I will come to see you." Gu Qingxin hung up the phone and paused for a moment before continuing her sketch.
Of course, Gu Qingxin wouldn’t bring up this issue with Beiming Han again. He had been accompanying her in the hospital all this time and his work had been severely delayed. She couldn’t afford to have him distracted because of her.
...
In the hotel room.
Bai Ruiqing felt a splitting headache. He opened his eyes, rubbing his forehead hard, and his hand touched a body next to him, which startled him.
He turned his head sharply, only to see a woman lying next to him. This sudden movement of his made the girl stir, and Bai Ruiqing instinctively knocked her out.
The girl just moved a bit, and then lay still again.
Bai Ruiqing lifted the quilt to look, and the memories of the previous night slowly returned. He didn’t remember exactly what had happened, but he did recall being with this woman.
But at that time, he had regarded this woman as Bai Qianqian, and then...
Bai Ruiqing felt like his head was about to explode. He looked at the woman on the bed, who he had knocked out. She looked quite young and was half-sprawled so he could only see her profile, but she seemed quite beautiful.
Bai Ruiqing didn’t want to know who she was. He just wanted to leave as quickly as possible. What if the woman woke up and asked him to accept responsiblity?
Bai Ruiqing quickly dressed, took out all the thousands of yuan from his wallet and left it on the bedside table as he hastily fled the scene.
...
At dinner, Gu Qingxin’s phone rang. It was Lin Yin who called. Gu Qingxin guessed that her mom probably wanted to ask about her birthday.
Gu Qingxin told Beiming Han that she needed to take a call and left the dinner table.
In the living room, Gu Qingxin answered the phone, "Hello, mom."
"Qingxin, Saturday is your birthday, let me know what you’d like to eat and I’ll prepare it," Lin Yin’s voice was very gentle.
"I love everything you make, but... I may only be able to stay home for lunch," Gu Qingxin negotiated with her mom.
