HCB Chapter 120 Concert Hall Stop
Chapter 120 Concert Hall Stop
The next day, Qiu Yingying called Zhang Liangjun, wanting to get to the bottom of things in person. Zhang Liangjun was at the company, so he gave Qiu Yingying the company address.
As soon as Qiu Yingying saw Zhang Liangjun, she asked him this question directly. "Brother Zhang, is what Qu Xiaoxiao said true?" Qiu Yingying asked with a hint of anticipation.
“Qu Xiaoxiao has been staying here since yesterday!” Zhang Liangjun said truthfully.
Qiu Yingying couldn't believe it, "Then you..."
“Nothing happened between us. Qu Xiaoxiao slept in the guest room. I told you, I can only guarantee that I won’t lie to you! Do you remember?” Zhang Liangjun was referring to what he had said the first time he went to Ode to Joy.
“I remember you said that Bai Yanle made a mistake that all men in the world would make! He was having affairs with several women at the same time!” Qiu Yingying became much calmer. “At the time, we thought you were joking.”
Zhang Liangjun gently patted Qiu Yingying's head. "Alright, Yingying, you can think about this carefully and make a decision after you've thought it through! And no matter what decision you make, I won't change my decision to let you organize the team. Come on, since you're here, I'll introduce you to the game's planners. I can give you some game data so you can be more targeted when you're studying the game."
Qiu Yingying obediently followed him out of the office.

"Hey, Guan Guan, why don't you answer the phone?" Guan Guan's mother, Feng Wenjia, started nagging as soon as she answered the phone.
Guan Juer was a little impatient but dared not resist, so she could only patiently explain, "Oh, Mom, I'm busy! I often miss the phone."
Feng Wenjia continued on the phone, "That Xiao Zhang we ate together last time, is his name Zhang Liangjun? How are things going between you two?"
"Mom~, it's only been a short time! We can't be together every day, can we?" Guan Juer had only spoken to Zhang Liangjun a few times on the phone. She had been busy lately and hadn't had a chance to meet him. She had to work overtime every day.
Guan Wentao, Guan's father, chimed in, "It's been a long time. If you ask me, if there's no progress, we might as well help you find someone else suitable!" Guan's father wasn't fond of Zhang Liangjun, or perhaps he wasn't fond of any man who dared to approach his daughter! His little darling had grown up to be a big darling, and in just a few years she was going to belong to someone else's family. It was heartbreaking.
"Oh dear, you! Zhang is a really good guy, why are you giving me this crazy advice! Go away, go read your newspaper!" Feng Wenjia had a very good impression of Zhang Liangjun, especially after hearing that Zhang Liangjun had been a good student since childhood, excelled in both academics and conduct, started earning money in junior high school, and that his father was the mayor. All this information made Feng Wenjia feel like her family was marrying above their station!
After chasing Guan Wentao away, Feng Wenjia continued to say to Guan Juer, "But what your dad said is right. If you don't act more proactively, maybe Xiao Zhang will think you're not satisfied? If Xiao Zhang goes on blind dates with someone else and falls for them, then your relationship will fall apart. So, in my opinion, you two need to meet and get to know each other better."
"Okay, I'll call him right now." Guan Juer was indeed a little unsure of herself, after all, Zhang Liangjun had always been ambiguous in his statements.
I checked and found there was a concert that evening, so I booked two tickets. Then I dialed Zhang Liangjun's number, but a girl answered. "Hello, Guan Guan?"
"I dialed the wrong number!" Guan Juer hurriedly hung up the phone, then glanced at the call log and found that she hadn't dialed the wrong number; it was Zhang Liangjun's phone number.
In an instant, Guan Juer's heart turned to ashes.
She hadn't noticed it before, but now that she thought about it, the voice sounded familiar! Even though it had been converted to an electric current, it was still slightly distorted, and Guan Juer couldn't immediately recognize the owner of the voice.
A few minutes later, Zhang Liangjun called Guan Juer back, "Guan Guan, you were looking for me?"
"Brother Zhang, I have two concert tickets that someone gave me. Do you want to come along?" Guan Juer was conflicted, wondering whether she should ask the girl.
"Going to a concert too?" Zhang Liangjun muttered softly, then asked Guan Juer, "Where is the concert? What time?"
Guan Juer replied, "The Shanghai Concert Hall. 7:30 PM."
Looking at the concert hall ticket left by Qiu Yingying, which had the same content written on it, Zhang Liangjun said with a smile, "Xiaotong and Yingying just asked if we wanted to go to the concert together. It's the same show. Perfect, let's go together."
"Was that Yingying who answered the phone just now?" Guan Juer suddenly realized, no wonder the voice sounded familiar, it was Qiu Yingying!
Zhang Liangjun said in surprise, "That's right, didn't Yingying tell you? She works for me now. We'll pick you up this afternoon and then we'll go to the concert hall together."
"Okay. See you later, Brother Zhang!" Guan Juer appeared calm, but she was inwardly surprised. Qiu Yingying was actually working under Zhang Liangjun and even answering the phone for him! Had their relationship become so close? Had she missed something during this time?
Qiu Yingying didn't react as Guan Juer expected. She was still conflicted; Qu Xiaoxiao's words had kept her up at night for several nights. One moment she thought Zhang Liangjun was a scumbag, the next she thought that although he was a scumbag, he was a good scumbag—it would be a shame not to suffer for him! The reason she received Zhang Liangjun's call was because she was at the game company reviewing data, and Zhang Liangjun happened to be out without his phone. Qiu Yingying saw it was Guan Juer calling and answered.
Two people who value appearance finally developed a huge rift because of a man.
When Qiu Yingying was leaving get off work, she received a call from Ji Xiaotong. "Yingying, I have something urgent to take care of today. You go with Liangjun! Have fun!"
Qiu Yingying's mouth dropped open. "Ah, Sister Xiaotong, you're not going?"
Over the phone, Ji Xiaotong reminded Qiu Yingying, "Yes, it's almost time. You two need to go eat first. Hurry up and don't be late!"
"Okay, sure." Qiu Yingying had no choice but to nod in agreement.
Upstairs, in Ji Xiaotong's office, which was separated from Qiu Yingying by only one floor, Qu Xiaoxiao and Ji Xiaotong sat together on the sofa by the window, looking at the scenery outside. Qu Xiaoxiao took a sip of orange juice and slowly said, "Sister Xiaotong, why are you in such a hurry? I think we can take a look some more. Teacher Zhang hasn't shown any particular preference yet!"
“Aunt Yang is right. I’m getting old, and I’m afraid if I wait a few more years, Liangjun still won’t be able to find someone! He doesn’t seem to be in a hurry to do anything. So I don’t want to wait anymore. Anyone will do, as long as…” Ji Xiaotong stopped talking, but Qu Xiaoxiao understood.
Qu Xiaoxiao watched the Hongqi car drive away and said with a complicated expression, "But I always feel that Qiu Yingying is a bit unreliable! What do you think is wrong with me compared to her?"
"You should hold back for now!" Ji Xiaotong tapped Qu Xiaoxiao's brow. "Even after what you've done, Liang Jun remains unmoved. I think you should refrain from taking the initiative for now."
"Oh my god! Why am I so pathetic!" Qu Xiaoxiao sighed to the sky, then suddenly realized, "Sister Xiaotong, I wasn't talking about you! Help! No! Stop! No! Stop!"
