Age: Passionate youth, starting from graduation assignment

Chapter 218 In front of Xu Jichang, Xia Yingxue was ashamed

"Just ask."

Xu Jichang guessed what Zhou Qingyu wanted to ask and said it easily and naturally.

And Zhou Qingyu's answer was indeed not beyond his expectations.

I saw that she was embarrassed before saying anything. She lowered her head slightly before she had the courage to speak softly: "Excuse me, leader... do you have a partner now?"

"You ask what you want to do, introduce it to me?"

Xu Jichang glanced at Zhou Qingyu and asked knowingly.

Seeing that she pursed her lips tightly and refused to speak, Xu Jichang specially held her hand.

Zhou Qingyu suddenly blushed even harder, and her whole body trembled slightly.

Fortunately, Xu Jichang did not act excessively and quickly let go of her hand.

Zhou Qingyu touched her hot face with her hand, not daring to look Xu Jichang in the face: "Are you trying to..."

"We'll talk about it later, we're almost there."

Xu Jichang pointed to the road ahead and quickened his pace to lead her to the construction site.

"Comrade Yingxue, what do you want from me?"

Xu Jichang asked Xia Yingxue, the top person in charge of the site and the conductor of the project, with a calm and polite tone and a normal voice.

Xia Yingxue looked at him, feeling a little complicated for a moment. She adjusted her emotions before speaking: "That's it, Director Xu."

"Currently our construction has entered a new stage, and there are some matters that require your cooperation to resolve."

"I invited you here today mainly because I hope you can help us report this to the factory."

"Just tell me. I will solve it for you on the spot if it can be solved. If it is beyond my authority, I will report it to my superiors."

Xu Jichang read a lot of information from the brief silence before Xia Yingxue spoke, and kept it all in his heart.

In fact, even after some adjustments, Xia Yingxue still felt very uneasy inside, but in front of many people and talking about work, it was hard for her to show anything.

Next, she told Xu Jichang truthfully one by one about the difficulties that may be encountered in the subsequent construction.

Xu Jichang responded to some of these questions immediately, while others expressed the need to report to the leadership for coordination.

After the communication was completed, he immediately went to the factory office with the problems, because several of them required the coordination and resolution of factory director Gao.

Ugh……

Looking at Xu Jichang's back, Xia Yingxue sighed quietly in her heart.

Although in front of so many people just now, Xu Jichang's business-like attitude was correct and there was nothing wrong with it.

But Xia Yingxue still felt a little regretful.

It would be great if the two of them could meet in a deserted corner or room and say some gentle and intimate words to each other.

Why didn't he come to me?
A series of thoughts flashed through Xia Yingxue's mind...

On the other side, Zhou Qingyu was also thinking about Xu Jichang and thought a lot about him.

Why did Xu Jichang avoid answering when I asked him if he had a partner?

Does he have no partner, or is he...

But if that was the case, why would he hold his hand again?
Zhou Qingyu's little head was filled with doubts.

And unlike Xia Yingxue, her ability to hide her thoughts was much worse. After thinking about it for a while, a blush appeared on her face again.

Fortunately, after Xu Jichang left, the construction site returned to busy state, and no one noticed anything strange about her.

In the afternoon of the same day, Director Gao responded to a series of questions raised by the construction team and promised to solve them satisfactorily.

Of course it has to be solved perfectly. They are building a railway for the factory.

Xu Jichang brought the news to Xia Yingxue and Zhou Qingyu, and invited them to have a meal in the small private room on the second floor of the cafeteria.

During the meal, Xia Yingxue's eyes were a little erratic, and she seemed to be full of thoughts.

Zhou Qingyu, on the other hand, was much more lively. He kept catching Xu Jichang and asked him about this and that, and from time to time he would laugh like a silver bell, like a happy bird.

Due to the small space in the small private room, it seemed a bit stuffy after three people were seated there. She also took off her coat, revealing the fiery red tight sweater inside, which made her figure even more slim and youthful.

Xu Jichang looked at Zhou Qingyu's figure tightly wrapped in a fiery red sweater, and couldn't help but feel a little thump in his heart.

However, he quickly withdrew his gaze and did not stay longer on Zhou Qingyu.

This girl is the best, but she still has to pay attention to her image in front of others.

"Comrade Yingxue, Qingyu, we are gathered here today to celebrate the successful completion of the first phase of construction."

"I hope that every stage of construction in the future will be as smooth as today."

"There are two more Laos behind me."

When the meal was almost finished, Xu Jichang raised his cup high and said.

Considering that they are both women, the cups today were filled with boiled water and no wine.

Xia Yingxue and Zhou Qingyu also raised their glasses and clinked their glasses with Xu Jichang.

Among them, Zhou Qingyu's smile was as bright as a peach blossom.

As a fledgling technician, she was ignored everywhere in the past, let alone clinking glasses with the leader.

Now that she was being treated like this at Dongfang Fertilizer Factory, and the other person was someone she particularly liked, she was so happy that she was so happy.

After dinner, Xu Jichang sent Xia Yingxue and Zhou Qingyu back to the guest house.

"It's getting cold later and you don't have enough clothes and quilts. Tell me and I'll ask the factory to provide them to you."

After going upstairs, Xu Jichang said to the two of them, "The body is the most important asset, but we can't let anything go wrong due to the cold."

Xu Jichang's tone was very gentle and calm when he spoke, causing Xia Yingxue to be confused as to whether he was caring about her or speaking out of official business.

However, Zhou Qingyu nodded happily: "Thank you very much, Director Xu, for your concern."

"If we really encounter a problem, we will definitely tell you."

"Okay, go back to bed."

Xu Jichang said to the two of them, turned and left.

Xia Yingxue and Zhou Qingyu also said goodbye and went back to their houses.

After taking off her coat and pants, she washed her face and feet. After a while, Xia Yingxue lay on the bed in her room.

At this time, she heard a movement from the bedroom next door.

It was Zhou Qingyu's voice, which sounded soft and soft, full of the softness and tenderness of men and women being intimate.

Xia Yingxue looked surprised: Zhou Qingyu clearly didn't have a date, let alone brought her to this county.

What's going on with her?
In fact, Xia Yingxue had never cared about the gossip of men and women in the workplace, but the incident before her was so bizarre that she couldn't help but prick up her ears.

Zhou Qingyu's voice in the next room was getting softer and softer, and he called Xu Jichang's name once or twice from time to time.

Xia Yingxue's eyes widened: This...Xu Jichang was playing a rogue way on her?

Okay, now I can see clearly.

After pretending to leave, he actually entered Zhou Qingyu's house without him knowing.

How could Xu Jichang do this!Even if a man and a woman are dating, they are just taking a walk together. Even if they are getting married, they are just eating from the same pot.

How could he act like a rogue to Zhou Qingyu!

The more Xia Yingxue thought about it, the angrier she became, but in the end it was not easy to go to the next door room to stop it.

In fact, her decision was the right one.

Because at this moment, Xu Jichang was not in Zhou Qingyu's room at all!

He was pedaling his [-]-inch motorcycle slowly towards home.

Xu Jichang never thought about what would happen with Xia Yingxue and Zhou Qingyu in the guest house.

After all, there are so many people living inside.

It would be hilarious if you were caught.

Even if Xi Shi is reincarnated and Chang'e descends to earth, he must put safety first and will not do unsafe things just for the sake of temporary beauty.

When I got home, the yard lights were still on.

Xu Jichang entered the yard and saw Lan Qimei bending over doing something. She didn't look back after he opened the door.

"You still up."

Xu Jichang asked Lan Qimei.

Lan Qimei still bent over and didn't raise her head: "I'm making soybeans and sprouts here."

"Make some stir-fried pork with bean sprouts tomorrow. It will be refreshing to eat." "You really put all your efforts into our stomachs."

Xu Jichang stepped forward and watched her grow bean sprouts, and said with some emotion, "I don't rest even at night."

"That's all I can do for you."

Lan Qimei finally raised her face, smiled and said to her, "I'm not like Xiao Jing and the others..."

"Don't say that. You are so beautiful and have a good figure. In my heart, you are all the same."

Xu Jichang gently hugged Lan Qimei and kissed her on the tip of her nose.

"I still have to carry the bucket into the kitchen and put it outside to prevent it from freezing."

Lan Qimei turned her face and said a little embarrassed.

"Let me carry it. This bucket is quite heavy."

After Xu Jichang finished speaking, he carried the bucket into the kitchen for Lan Qimei, talked to her again, and then went into the house.

Lan Qimei still lives in the original penthouse. Xu Jichang also asked her to move into a house in the new yard. However, she felt that it was inconvenient to live and cook there, so she insisted on living in the penthouse.

Early the next morning, Xu Jichang got up and was practicing his own boxing skills in the courtyard. At this time, he saw Zhu Wei in the next courtyard carrying a basin full of clothes and walking to the middle of the courtyard.

"Doing laundry."

Xu Jichang asked her while pumping his fist into the air.

"Just finished washing, drying clothes."

Zhu Wei came to the middle of the yard, bent down and put down the basin, and said to him, "There was a performance two days ago, and there were more clothes to wash than usual."

"Does it cost a lot of money to buy costumes?"

Xu Jichang finished his punch at this time, stood still, walked towards Zhu Wei, and asked her.

Logically speaking, the performance clothes and practice clothes of the girls in the art troupe are reimbursed by the public.

It's just that the national economy is also tight these days, and funds cannot be fully covered. They need to use their wages to pay a lot, otherwise there will not be enough clothes to change.

Zhu Wei felt the concern in Xu Jichang's words and felt a little moved: "I'm okay, after all, I am the leader of the art troupe."

"You Qingxia and the others are really nervous and need subsidies."

"How do you know I didn't subsidize her?"

Xu Jichang chuckled, took out his wallet from his pocket, counted out a few and handed them to Zhu Wei, "Besides, you still have to send money home."

"Take it."

After saying that, he stuffed the money into Zhu Wei's pocket.

This was the first time Zhu Wei received money from him, and he wanted to refuse again.

But looking at Xu Jichang's irresistible look, she still silently accepted the money: "I'll lend it to you."

"What can I borrow?"

Xu Jichang pinched her cheek and said, "Aren't we the same person?"

A hint of blush appeared on Zhu Wei's dignified and beautiful face: "Be careful not to let others see you."

"It's okay to see it."

Xu Jichang looked unconcerned, "We are all our own people in this courtyard."

"Breakfast is ready, don't wait until it's cold before you eat it."

At this time, Lan Qimei's voice came from his own courtyard, and he saw that she had walked out of the kitchen with a tray.

Xu Jichang took this tray from the space shelf two days ago. Because his living conditions here are good, there is usually more than one dish for each meal, and he finds it troublesome to carry the trays one by one.

"Let's go have breakfast together."

Xu Jichang pulled Zhu Wei's jade hand and said.

Zhu Wei obediently followed him back to the nearby yard and entered the house again.

I saw that Lan Qimei had made five scallion pancakes, three cups of soy milk, five steamed buns, and a plate of fried pork with bean sprouts this morning.

"You also eat meat in the morning?"

Although Zhu Wei had eaten at Xu Jichang's place several times, he still had a new understanding of his living standard today.

"I have to go to work. I don't have enough energy if I don't eat meat."

Xu Jichang gave the chopsticks to Zhu Wei and Lan Qimei, "Come, eat."

After saying that, he took a steamed bun from the table, and Zhu Wei and Lan Qimei each took a steamed bun and started eating.

This steamed bun is made by Lan Qimei. It is fluffy and soft and much more delicious than the ones sold outside.

The three of them had wiped out the five steamed buns within a short time.

"It's so delicious. Qimei's cooking is really good."

Zhu Wei was obviously satisfied, but Xu Jichang had other ideas.

This steamed bun is good. It would be even better if it were made smaller and dipped in condensed milk.

Xu Jichang thought to himself, planning to find some condensed milk from home when it is more convenient.

Speaking of which, he had stored a lot of products taken off the shelves at home.

I just sent some to Li Wanru and You Qingxia's homes from time to time, but gradually the stock was gone.

Xu Jichang planned to wait until there was no one around before entering the space to replenish supplies.

Breakfast was early today. After the meal, Lan Qimei could stay and wash the dishes before going to work.

Xu Jichang went to work as soon as he finished eating and did not stay at home.

Riding his bicycle to the factory gate, he saw that the construction team had already begun work under the command of Xia Yingxue, and Zhou Qingyu was busy beside her.

When she saw Xu Jichang coming, Xia Yingxue's expression changed obviously. She briefly explained to Zhou Qingyu, then stepped forward to stop Xu Jichang, with a very solemn expression on her beautiful face: "Director Xu, I have a question. I need to coordinate with you."

Seeing her like this, Xu Jichang felt a little puzzled.

Instinct told him that Xia Yingxue was obviously not doing this for official reasons, but for private matters.

This is strange.

Although this woman had been teased by him a lot, she still made a clear distinction between business affairs and personal emotions, and rarely interrupted her work because of private matters between the two of them.

What's the matter today?
Xu Jichang was puzzled, but he nodded and left the construction site with her, pushing his bicycle to a secluded corner of the factory.

"Jichang, you are already a leader, how can you act like a rogue to Qingyu?"

Xia Yingxue said with a bit of displeasure on her pretty face.

hooligan?
Where is this going?

The biggest contact he had with Zhou Qingyu was holding hands. Could this be what Xia Yingxue was talking about?

But that's not right. When I held Zhou Qingyu's hand, I could not only be 100% sure that Xia Yingxue was not around, but there was no one else either.

What is she doing today?Could it be just her subjective suspicion?
Xu Jichang thought to himself and decided not to admit it: "What are you talking about? When did I act like a gangster to her?"

Xia Yingxue suddenly became unhappy: Do you dare to do it or not?
"You have the nerve not to admit it? Didn't you last night..."

She blushed and said, embarrassed to say any more.

"I sent you back to your house last night and left, and you never came back. If you don't believe me, ask the guest house attendant."

Xu Jichang said seriously, "Besides, I also have a position in the factory. How could I go to the guest house and have anything happen to her?"

Xu Jichang's rebuttal was righteous and well-founded, and Xia Yingxue's brain short-circuited after listening to it.

Wasn't it Xu Jichang last night?
Then it would be...

Xu Jichang saw that her thoughts were wavering, so he asked her in her ear: "What did you find out last night that you came to me to tell me this early in the morning?"

Xia Yingxue blushed when asked, and felt very embarrassed.

But at this point, she had already lost the space to prevaricate, so she had no choice but to tell Xu Jichang the situation in a voice as soft as a mosquito after looking around to make sure no one was eavesdropping.

Yes, that’s what happened.

After Xu Jichang heard this, he suppressed the urge to laugh and told Xia Yingxue the reason.

Xia Yingxue was dumbfounded when she heard this: "Ah... you still bring something like this? Qingyu, how could she do such a thing?"

"Isn't this a matter of style?"

Xu Jichang immediately couldn't laugh or cry: "She is alone and doesn't even have a second person. Why is there a problem with her style?"

Xia Yingxue was speechless when asked by Xu Jichang.

It seems... is this really true?
