General Manager's Lie

Chapter Three

Looking at the backs of the two walking side by side in front of him, Yang Qi pursed his lips and frowned, looking very annoyed.

He didn't understand why the high-ranking general manager Hongsheng volunteered to be a tour guide explaining famous places in Suzhou?

Yesterday afternoon, he took them to visit several glazed workshops, but today they visited museums and historic sites.

He boasted that he was handsome and handsome, and that he was very popular with women, but Lin Hong always left him behind. Instead, he was kind and cheerful to the macho man beside him who looked like an ape!

Yang Qi was startled. How could he lose his demeanor and criticize this narrow-minded man?

The three of them took a small boat to visit Qili Shantang in the evening. There are many shops and guild halls on both sides of the Suzhou River. The historic Shantang Old Street has the beautiful scenery of the Jiangnan water town and still maintains the quaint architectural style.

The time-honored Suzhou Caizhizhai, Wufangzhai, artist studios, embroidery, wood carvings, stone carvings, blue calico and other traditional handicraft shops have front shops and back square shops, fully presenting the special charm of the Jiangnan water town and the streets and alleys of Suzhou.

Yang Qi has no intention of appreciating such a beautiful scenery that still retains the ancient flavor.

He strained his ears, listening to the two people in front of them talking. Fortunately, his occupation is related to Liuli, but he could not understand the technical terms and techniques they talked about, and he couldn't speak at all.

When he returned to the factory dormitory, he was inexplicably depressed.

After Lin Hong said goodbye to Nek happily, she walked with him to the dormitory on the other side.

"Thank you for your hospitality. The scenery here is beautiful, and visiting the museum is very rewarding." Lin Hong raised her hands and stretched naturally.

Looking up at the full moon hanging high in the dark sky, she suddenly felt more cheerful and clear.

Originally, I didn't have much intention to go to Suzhou, but now I feel that this trip is worthwhile."Did you have a good time today?" Seeing her relaxed expression, the originally depressed mood seemed to dissipate a little.

"It's very pleasant. I've forgotten how long it's been since I had such a relaxing trip." She turned her head to look at him, with a smile on her face, which was soft and beautiful under the moonlight.

"Would you like a glass of red wine?" Walking to the door of his dormitory room, Yang Qi asked without warning.

Lin Hong was taken aback for a moment, then said calmly, "I'm not interested in red wine, good night." She walked towards the next door.

Yang Qi was disappointed by her tactful refusal, and he was even more surprised that he wanted to chat with her over wine.

It seems that unconsciously, he had unspeakable emotions for her.

He actually had a weird feeling of jealousy because of her chatting and laughing with another man. It was a strange emotion that he had never had before in the love field.

The phone rang at the right time, interrupting his confused thoughts.

"Qi, miss me?" A sweet and greasy voice came from afar.

"Of course I miss you, honey!" Yang Qi responded gently.

In fact, after three or four days of separation, the image of his girlfriend never appeared in his mind at all. Instead, he began to care about the woman next door.

Could it be that he is tired of his current girlfriend?

Returning to Taiwan after the six-day trip in Suzhou, sitting in the business cabin of the plane, Yang Qi unconsciously stared at Lin Hong beside him in a daze.

Looking back on the past few days of getting along, the two of them didn't have any ambiguous progress, they just discussed Liuli and studied Liuli with her.

But his feeling for her in his heart deepened day by day, staring at her hand holding a fork to eat, he imagined the feeling of holding her hand.

Seeing her chewing food and wriggling her lips, he imagined the taste of kissing her tender lips.

God! He actually started having s****l fantasies about her!

Facing this woman in a t-shirt and jeans, ponytail, unpainted, and chewing beef, she felt excited!"What are you looking at? Do you want steak?" Lin Hong didn't think too much about his strange gaze, thinking that he ordered seafood steak, but coveted her filet steak.

"No." He swallowed lightly unconsciously. He is not coveting her meal, but her!

Picking up the red wine and taking a sip, Yang Qi wiped away the inexplicable reverie in his heart, and said in a natural tone: "Thank you very much for your help. I will ask the finance department to allocate the cooperation and technical guidance expenses to you as soon as possible when I return to the company." He intentionally Talking about things that have nothing to do with the desire in your heart.

"I don't care about money, just contact Xiaoru directly, but I have benefited a lot from this trip to Suzhou, thank you for your invitation and hospitality." Lin Hong smiled at him, feeling happy.

She showed him a gentle and sweet smile without warning, and in an instant, he was shot into his heart like an arrow studded with love.

The heart was pounding, and it was beating wildly.

Not good! Yang Qi shouted in his heart again, it seemed that he... really fell in love with her!

"Qi, what are you thinking?" Su Rongrong hugged Yang Qi's neck and kissed him passionately, but felt that he was absent-minded.

Knowing that he came back from the mainland, she immediately ran to his residence to look for him. As soon as they met, they hugged and kissed passionately to express her missing.

Knowing his personality, she doesn't like women being too clingy. When he was on a business trip abroad, she gave him full freedom and didn't deliberately ask about his whereabouts. She only greeted him gently occasionally, expressing concern and showing generosity and tolerance at the same time.

She can pretend that he doesn't care about any one-night affairs he has in places she can't see, as long as she can still secure his position as his real girlfriend, I believe that one day she will be able to trap him, marry into a wealthy family, and become Hongsheng's wife. The wife of the general manager, the future wife of the chairman, enjoys the glory and wealth.

"It's nothing." Yang Qi returned her a nice smile, how could he say that he was thinking of other women.

He naturally opened the slender arms around his neck, walked from the entrance to the sofa in the living room and sat down.

"Qi, are you full?" Su Rongrong followed into the living room and asked with tender concern.

"I have eaten on the plane."

He started to untie his tie. Seeing this, Su Rongrong immediately stepped forward to serve him.

"Qi, do you want to take a bath first?" She whispered with hints.

Facing his girlfriend's coquettish invitation, he was not very interested. Lin Hong's attractive lips once again appeared in his mind.

"Is there any problem with the Suzhou factory? I didn't mean to ask about your work, but if the pressure is too great, I will be happy to help you relieve it. Would you like to give you a massage?" She put her hands on his shoulders and pressed gently . "Or should we go out for a late-night snack, and then go to the aromatherapist I know? Do the aromatherapy spa, and you will sleep better tonight. When you wake up tomorrow with a clear mind, you can find a way to deal with the problem." She further Offer tenderly.

With a sensitive mind, she clearly noticed his strangeness. In the past, when the two were separated for a few days and reunited, he would be more enthusiastic than her and talk sweetly constantly.

"Rongrong...I think, let's break up!" Yang Qi pondered for a moment before opening his mouth to make a decision.

"Huh?" Su Rongrong stared blankly, and the hands on his shoulders stopped. "Why?"

Her voice trembled slightly. He always called her honey affectionately. Once he called her name, it meant that he distanced himself.

"Did I...do something wrong?" She had been so cautious all along, trying her best to please him and maintain the relationship between the two of them. She thought she had a perfect performance, but she didn't understand why she was suddenly sentenced to be out.

"It's not your problem. Rongrong, you're fine. I'm just sorry for being my girlfriend. I have someone else in my heart." Yang Qi held her catkin, turned sideways to face her, and met her for the first time. He felt a little guilty when the woman broke up.

"If...my performance is perfect, why do you fall in love with someone else?" Su Rongrong suppressed her excitement and stubbornly wanted to understand.

Although he has a flirtatious nature, he can flirt with many female partners for a short time and play on the spot, but the position of real girlfriend is only given to one woman. Once he loses feelings for the other party, he will confess and break up rashly.

"Rongrong, we made it clear when we first started dating that the relationship depends on fate. Once I have someone else in my heart and am interested in other women, I have to be honest with myself and you. You don't like that yellow lotus sports car very much, Tomorrow, I will ask Shu Jun to transfer the ownership to you." He generously offered the breakup fee.

"Who is that woman?" At this moment, Su Rongrong didn't feel any joy at receiving a gift of millions of dollars. She didn't believe that there would suddenly appear around him someone who would make him fall in love and she didn't notice it at all.

"It doesn't matter who it is." And that woman is not interested in him.

"Qi, if you are serious, I should have the right to know, right?" She would never give up easily, and decided to find out the truth first.

"Lin Hong, but that's just my wishful thinking." Yang Qi said it a little awkwardly.

He wasn't even sure if it was his own wishful thinking, or just a short-term mental disorder that misjudged his own mood.

It's just that the obvious emotional reaction made him unable to continue dating Su Rongrong. He always followed his own emotions, and once the enthusiasm faded, he would not forcefully manage the cooled relationship.

Now he wants to actively pursue and prove another emotion that makes him inexplicably throbbing, whether a woman who can pull his emotions at this moment is really what he wants.

"If...you are in love with each other, I will still bless you generously even though my heart hurts, but if you are just temporarily bored with the status quo, I am willing to wait for you and give you some free time." Su Rongrong forced a smile, showing the best expression Tolerance and concession.

She had seen Lin Hong's photo and knew the general information about him. She didn't think she would be deprived of her place in Yang Qi's heart by such a woman.

Yang Qi was probably just greedy for novelty for a while and wanted to challenge different types of women. She believed that as long as he waited patiently, he would lose interest in the other party within a month or two.

Although she pretended to be generous on the surface, she had other ideas in her heart. She was so proud that she would never keep silent and allow another woman to accept Yang Qi's courteous pursuit. She decided to show her off.

"Are you Lin Hong?" A strange visitor suddenly appeared in Chiyan Liuli Workshop.

Lin Hong, who was wearing work gloves, stared at the woman standing at the door and was slightly stunned. Although there was an iron gate fence outside the workshop, the iron gate was mostly open during the day, because the place is a bit remote, so there is no need to worry about uninvited guests. door to door.

She was quite surprised to see a fashionable woman appearing here.

The woman has heavy makeup on her face, wearing a pair of brand-name sunglasses, long brown curly hair, and a white dress that cuts off the shoulders. There is a black ribbon bow at the waist as decoration.

She is tall and slender, with stiletto high heels that are nearly ten centimeters high under a pair of slender and well-proportioned legs, carrying an off-white designer bag, and standing with her breasts upright, like a fashion model.

Such a woman is incompatible with the messy scene here.

"If you are interested in my colored glaze, please visit the venue during the exhibition hours." Lin Hong thought she was a famous lady who came to buy colored glaze in person.

She never deals with customers in the workshop, Yang Qi is a special case.

Su Rongrong took off her sunglasses, and looked up and down at the woman in front of her with her beautiful eyes. Although she had seen Lin Hong's photo, seeing her in person at this moment made it even more difficult for her to understand. Why is Yang Qi fascinated by this kind of woman?

How could such a sloppy woman attract Yang Qi's attention and win his heart and love?

The more she watched, the more annoyed she became. How could she, a fashion-forward supermodel, lose to such a vulgar woman!

"If you don't want to buy colored glaze, there's nothing suitable for you to visit here." The other party stared at her with contempt, which made Lin Hong feel uncomfortable, and gave the order to evict the visitor bluntly. Even if the other party is really rich and powerful, she doesn't bother to do business with such a person.

She turned around and didn't want to pay attention, and was going to continue the work that was interrupted earlier.

"I'm not here to buy colored glaze, but to return it." Lin Hong's disdainful attitude annoyed Su Rongrong even more, she said in a cold tone. "I forgot to introduce myself, I am Su Rongrong, Yang Qi's girlfriend."

With that said, she took out a glass necklace from her designer bag and stepped forward.

Lin Hong was taken aback when she heard this, and then stretched out her hand to take it. Unexpectedly, the other party suddenly lifted the necklace high, and then deliberately let it slip out of her hand, and fell directly onto the concrete floor.

Clap! The glass beads shattered one by one.

Lin Hong looked down at the broken necklace with a shocked expression.

She bent over to pick it up. Even though most of the glazed beads were broken, she recognized that it was a glazed necklace made by her novice.

She remembered that Yang Qi took great pains to buy this necklace from her, because he declared that it was a birthday present for his mother, so she gave up.

Unexpectedly, he actually gave it to his girlfriend, and the other party not only didn't cherish it, but also deliberately destroyed her work in front of her, which made her very angry and distressed.

"Qi is just greedy for you for a while, just like when I asked him for this necklace, and after wearing it once or twice, I found that it was completely out of my taste. The difference between you and me, I believe I don't need to pay attention to it." Comparing the regulations with one another, everyone can see that you won't feel ashamed if you stand with Qi?"

"Why do you think you make Qi fall in love with you? He approached you only for business interests, even for the necklace I want. He may be a little interested in you, but it's only because No one has ever rejected him, he wants to challenge and conquer you, to prove that no woman can resist his charm." Su Rongrong's words were sharp, and her sharp eyes looked her up and down, full of irony.

"Qi is a passionate man, his flair is also his charm, I love him, I can tolerate his freedom, and you are just his short-term game object, I advise you not to have delusions, thinking that he will You are sincere. My words may be a little blunt, but I kindly remind you that I don't want you to be hurt." Despite the malicious words, Su Rongrong still did not forget to emphasize her kindness.

Lin Hong was even more annoyed when she heard her frothing.

"Your own man is fastened by yourself. I, Lin Hong, never disdain to be a third party, and I am not interested in your man. Yang Qi and I are only in business. If you are worried about who will seduce him, it is because you are not capable enough This is a private workplace, if you want to yell, don’t come to my place, and go back and tell Yang Qi, don’t step here if you have nothing to do, so as not to be suspected by a jealous woman.” She straightened her back and choked loudly.

She is not a weak and boneless woman who is bullied and clamored but dare not fight back.

"The door is over there. If you don't leave my sight within five seconds, I'll sue you for trespassing!" She pointed to the door and hurried away people.

"You!" She didn't expect her to speak so sharply, Su Rongrong was a little overwhelmed.

"There are still three seconds." Lin Hong turned around to get the phone.

"Don't let me see you clinging on to my man shamelessly." Su Rongrong said harsh words, and walked away angrily on her high heels.

Looking at her leaving figure, Lin Hong frowned, furious.

It's best for Yang Qi not to appear in front of her again, otherwise she will have to settle accounts with him.

She bent down and picked up the broken glass beads on the ground one by one. She couldn't hide her heartache seeing her beloved creation being easily destroyed.

Although it is not difficult to make glass beads, this necklace was created on Murano Island in Venice when she and her master Li Hao went to Italy. It has many different meanings for her. There are countless glazed bead necklaces, and this is the most satisfying one.

If Yang Qi hadn't misunderstood Yang Qi's filial piety, she would never have sold this commemorative ornament.

She could ignore the woman's vicious words, but she couldn't bear and couldn't forgive her work to be ruined and destroyed like that.

Carefully picked up the broken glass from the ground, and placed it on the glass plate. The damage was beyond repair, and she was like waste, but she was reluctant to throw it directly into the trash can.

"Hi!" After an unknown amount of time, Lin Hong, who was sitting at the work desk feeling indignant, suddenly heard a cheerful greeting from behind.

Yang Qi was handsome and walked into the studio with a happy expression.

Originally, he didn't plan to come over today, but when he was at work, he suddenly wanted to see her very much, so he drove here in a hurry after the meeting.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw her sitting silently at the work table, as if she hadn't heard his footsteps, so he approached her and greeted her loudly.

"What? Firing failed?" Seeing the broken glass beads on the glass plate, she thought she was worried about the failure of creation.

Lin Hong turned her head to look at him, her slender eyebrows were tightly furrowed, and the smile on his face made her feel dazzling and disgusted.

"Our cooperative relationship is over. Don't come here again. My workshop is not open for visits." She said coldly.

"Huh?" Her unusually cold attitude and angry look puzzled him. During the few days they spent together in Suzhou, the relationship between the two had clearly progressed, as if they were friends.

"I'm sorry for the failure in the production of your work, but with your talent, you will definitely be able to create a satisfactory finished product next time." He didn't take her anger to heart, he sat opposite her, and instead comforted him as a gentleman.

Lin Hong stood up abruptly, turned to the workbench on the other side, took the long blowpipe to preheat, stood in front of the crucible, and scooped up molten glass paste for glass blowing.She wants to erase the negative emotions in her heart through creation.

"General Manager Yan, I don't like to be disturbed when I'm creating, so you can go." Seeing that Yang Qi was still sitting in his seat, even studying the broken glass on the glass plate, she was furious and wanted to drive people away.

"Okay. If you're in a bad mood, I'll come back tomorrow." He came all the way to see her, but she drove her away indifferently, but he didn't feel displeased or frustrated by her attitude, instead he didn't care , was extra patient with her.

"Don't come here again, don't come here again!" She didn't want to see him again, and she didn't want to let his woman come and mess with her again, disturbing her mood.

Yang Qi narrowed his black eyes slightly, and felt that her attitude was not quite right. At the beginning, she was very impatient with him coming to talk about buying copyrights, but she never forbade him to come again.

And since we got along so far, I have also met when her creation was not going well. Although she looked annoyed, she would just put him aside, conceive and create again, and would not drive him away unceremoniously like this.

"Aside from the creative failure, did something else happen?" He stood up and approached her, concerned about her abnormal emotional reaction.

Lin Hong turned her head to look at him, very displeased. "I didn't fail in my creation, it was because someone maliciously destroyed my work!" At first, she thought that if she saw him again, she would find him to settle the score and reprimand him severely, but after she calmed down a little, she no longer had that feeling Impulsive, thinking that asking him to settle accounts would not restore the necklace, and only hoped that he would never appear in front of her again.

However, at this moment, his inquisitive curiosity made her decide to show her cards and tell the truth.

"Maliciously vandalized?" Yang Qi was surprised when he heard this. Lin Hong is the only descendant of Taiwan's Liuli master. Her works have attracted much attention, and every buyer regards them as art treasures. How could they be maliciously vandalized?

"You forgot this glazed necklace?" She squinted her beautiful eyes and glared at him. Fortunately, in order to persuade her to sell it, he came to the door two times to lobby painstakingly.It turned out that, as Su Rongrong said, he didn't care about her works at all, and all his words and deeds were just to please his girlfriend.

Yang Qi looked at the plate of broken glass beads on the work table with a puzzled expression. He felt that the shape and color of those glass beads looked familiar, but because of the severe shattering, he couldn't think of anything for a while.

"Your girlfriend Su Rongrong smashed it in front of me. I remember you said you wanted to give it to your mother as a birthday present. How did it fall into her hands?" She gnashed her teeth to expose his lie.

Yang Qi's expression froze suddenly, both horrified and guilty.

"Yes...I'm sorry, I didn't expect her to do this." Imagine Su Rongrong coming to find trouble, Lin Hong must have been greatly hurt, and it would be considered polite for her to drive him out without a broom.

"I broke up with her yesterday. I'm really sorry about this necklace."

"It's because I didn't understand that I sold it to the wrong person. Since you paid for it, you are free to dispose of it as you want. I am too lazy to pursue it, but I will not have any business dealings with you in the future. You can go!" She prepared Take out the long blowpipe placed in the crucible furnace.

"I'm sorry, if I knew she would do this, I would never give the necklace to her anyway." Although it was only a glass necklace worth tens of thousands of yuan, he felt extremely guilty.

As far as the creator is concerned, the value of the work is not equal to the price in money. Otherwise, he could easily claim several times the compensation to make up for his mistakes, and he would not be so upset.

"Go away, don't block the way here!" He insisted on not leaving, which made Lin Hong even angrier.

Seeing that she was holding a long blowpipe stained with hot glass paste, Yang Qi took a step back.

But Lin Hong didn't want to pass in front of him, and stepped towards another workbench. Who knew that she didn't pay attention for a while, and kicked the iron plate next to her.

"ah--"
