“……” After hearing the secretaries’ a*sistants’ answers, Lu Qi was silent.
What was there that he didn’t understand now?
It turned out that the person who was hidden by Rong Shu in the lounge and was watching him in the lounge was actually Tong Xi.
No wonder Rong Shu had blocked him from opening the lounge door, because she didn’t want him to see Tong Xi.
“Mr. Lu? Mr. Lu?” Seeing Lu Qi standing in the doorway, slightly dazed with his head lowered, the secretaries and a*sistants in the office, could not help but call out to him twice in curiosity.
Lu Qi’s eyes flickered for a moment as he returned to his senses, “What’s wrong?”
The secretaries and a*sistants shook their heads, “Nothing, it’s just that we saw you suddenly wandering off, so we were worried if something was wrong with you.”
“Nothing.” Lu Qi rubbed his brow, “Alright, you guys are busy, I won’t bother you anymore.”
After saying that, he closed the door behind him and retreated, then leaned against the door of the secretary’s a*sistant’s office, slightly tilting his head and looking at the ceiling of the corridor, not knowing what he was thinking about.
He knew why Tong Xi was hiding in Rong Shu’s lounge and not coming out.
It was because he had once told her in the past that he didn’t want to see her again.
It was probably because of that statement that she had hid when she heard he was coming.
Hehe, she had remembered his words quite well and had done a thoughtful job.
A look that was unreadable flashed in Lu Qi’s eyes, and his heart was a little less comfortable.
In theory, he should be happy and satisfied that Tong Xi was so sensible.
But for some reason, when she avoided him so much, he was not so happy and satisfied, but only irritated and displeased!
The more he thought about it, the more his heart was blocked, and Lu Qi suddenly opened the door of the secretary’s a*sistant’s office again.
The secretaries and a*sistants inside had gone back to work, but when he opened the door once again, they suddenly came out of their working state, and several pairs of eyes looked at Lu Qi in unison again.
“Director Lu …… Do you have anything else?” An a*sistant blinked and looked at Lu Qi, whose face was somewhat unpleasant, and asked cautiously.
Lu Qi squeezed his palms and his voice was a bit low and muffled, “During this period of time, was there anything wrong with Tong Xi?”
For example, has there been any mention of him or understanding about him ……
Thinking of this, Lu Qi’s face suddenly turned ugly.
What the hell, why should he care if Tong Xi had mentioned him recently or not, and know about him ah.
Is he crazy?
Just when Lu Qi was about to erase the question so that they didn’t have to answer it.
It turned out that the secretaries and a*sistants in the office were already the first to speak up and answer.
“Something’s not right, huh?” The a*sistant who had answered earlier rubbed his chin in thought, then nodded, “There is.”
Lu Qi’s expression shook, “There really is?”
“Yes.” The a*sistant nodded again, “Recently, Secretary Tong has been fuming a lot, often out of shape, and is also often sick, and is taking time off from time to time.”
“Sick?” Lu Qi frowned, “What kind of illness did she have?”
The a*sistant shook her head, “I don’t know about that, we asked Secretary Tong, but she didn’t answer.”
Seeing that nothing more could be asked, Lu Qi gave a faint hmph, closed the door behind him and retreated once again.
The secretaries and a*sistants in the office looked at the closed door again, glancing at each other, all seeing doubts and bewilderment in each other’s eyes.
Obviously, they all felt that Director Lu was strange and it was impossible to guess what he was thinking.
Outside the door, after Lu Qi closed the door, he leaned against the wall by the door again, slightly lowering his head and thinking about something.
He was thinking about what the a*sistant had just said, that Tong Xi was often dull, often out of shape, and often sick and taking time off.
About Tong Xi being sick, he actually knew a little about it.
The last time his mother was at the hospital for a medical check-up, she came back and told him that she had met Tong Xi who was also at the hospital for a check-up.
But Tong Xi’s problem at that time was a cervical spine problem and there were no other symptoms.
And with cervical spine problems, would you take time off every other day?
Will it often go off on a tangent at work?
Tong Xi had been with him for several years, he was considered the person who knew her best, she was a strong woman who once had a high fever of almost forty degrees for a programme and was not even willing to put it down to rest.
So it was absolutely impossible for someone like Tong Xi to become devastated just because of a small cervical spine problem.
There should be some reason here that he didn’t know about.
Could it be because of a terminal illness?
When he thought of this possibility, Lu Qi’s face suddenly tightened up, and his heart also sank for a moment, sinking to the lowest point, as if there was a big hand clutching it fiercely, making him somewhat unable to catch his breath.
As he was thinking, the door of the office next to him suddenly clicked open, also interrupting Lu Qi’s thoughts.
Rongshu came out from inside with her bag, and seeing Lu Qi standing next to her, who was not in the right mood, she asked with concern, “Ah Qi, what’s wrong?”
Lu Qi lifted his head, squeezed the corners of his mouth and forced out a smile, his voice was a bit hoarse as he replied, “Nothing, just thought of something, it’s not very important, let’s go.”
Seeing his reluctance to say more, Rongshu nodded with a hint, “Let’s go.”
The two of them walked side by side towards the lift and soon got into the car and drove towards the hot pot restaurant.
But on this journey, Lu Qi was no longer the lively and impish person he had been at the beginning in Rongshu’s office, and he looked particularly silent and serious, looking like he had a lot on his mind.
As Rongshu drove, her mouth opened several times, wanting to ask him what was wrong, but every time she saw his silent and serious look, she couldn’t open her mouth and didn’t know how to ask, so she finally followed suit and fell silent, so that the atmosphere in the car was somewhat depressing and heavy.
On the other hand, Fu Jingting had already arrived at the downstairs of the hotel where Su Cheng was staying, but did not rush to get out of the car, but sat in the car with his mobile phone in his hand, talking to someone.
When he heard the person on the phone say that Rong Shu had driven away from Tiansheng with Lu Qi, he hung up the phone after only saying that he knew, apart from frowning a little.
The a*sistant Zhang in the driver’s seat naturally heard it too, and couldn’t help but twist his head around and ask, “Mr. Fu, Miss Rong went out to dinner with Mr. Lu, you’re not angry?”
Fu Jingting put away his phone and glanced up at him lightly, “Lu Qi is looking for Xiao Yezi to help out, there is no excuse for Xiao Yezi to invite him to dinner, if I even eat this jealousy, my pattern is too small.”
a*sistant Zhang smiled heatedly, “What Mr. Fu said is true.”
Fu Jingting hummed, “Find out which place they went to for dinner?”
a*sistant Zhang raised his eyebrows, “Mr. Fu, what’s the point of checking this? Didn’t you say that you weren’t jealous? So why do you need to find out where they ate?”
Wasn’t this a slap to his own face?
The first thing you need to do is to find out where they ate.
The first time I saw him, he said, “I’m not jealous, but that doesn’t mean I don’t even want to know where they’re going, I’m just worried about Little Yezi’s comfort.”
a*sistant Zhang rolled his eyes in his heart.
It was strange to believe you.
You’re obviously jealous, and you’re saying it so grandly!
Of course, thinking this in his heart but not daring to say anything on his mouth, a*sistant Zhang nodded with a fake smile, “What Mr. Fu said is right, okay, I’ll have someone inquire about it later.”
Fu Jingting raised his chin slightly and gave a haughty hmph, “After making enquiries, buy their account and then tell Lu Qi that this account was bought by me, Fu Jingting, which means that this meal was bought by me, Fu Jingting.”
