Chapter 179 - Sorry (1/2)
In the afternoon, Ning Qing was in her small office. She texted Zhu Rui.
Zhu Rui said that the president wanted to drink coffee. The man had a sharp tongue. The coffee beans had to be ground into coffee powder and then boiled in a coffee pot.
Ning Qing wrote down the ratio of coffee beans to water, and finally added a spoonful of sugar and two milliliters of milk.
Zhu Rui at the other end asked, [Madam, is this the president’s favorite? Would it be too light? ]
Ning Qing answered, [Not his favorite, but my favorite]
Zhu Rui replied with three dots, […]
Ning Qing’s mouth bore a sweet smile. What picky mouth. It was all because he was spoiled and not used to it. It was not good to drink coffee that was too strong. He would grow to like light coffee when he tries it.
So Zhu Rui brought the coffee into the president’s office according to Ning Qing’s instructions.
Lu Shaoming took a sip as he read the doc.u.ment and paused for 2 seconds. He put down his coffee and looked at Zhu Rui. “What kind of coffee is this?”
Zhu Rui should be very familiar with his taste.
Zhu Rui laughed and said, “President, this is the new way of making coffee that I recently read in my book, so I tried it out. President, how do you like it?”
Lu Shaoming took another sip of coffee and nodded with a light expression. “Not bad.”
The coffee was a little less bitter, and it had a tinge of sweetness from the milk, and there was a sweet aftertaste in the mouth.
Zhu Rui, who got such high praise, sent a text message to Ning Qing when he left the office, [Madam, President said that it tastes very good!]
And with that, Ning Qing smiled sweetly.
In truth, she was a very easily satisfied person. The situation was very bad now, but she felt happy if she could just see him, and let him taste the coffee she had prepared personally.
When Ning Qing was happy, a knock sounded at the door and Ye Ting came in.
“Miss Ning, this is Cabbage Plume’s advertising plan that our marketing department has just discussed and come up with. You can see if there are any issues.” Ye Ting was very professional when she had to be. She didn’t want to pack up her things and leave.
Ning Qing took the marketing strategy into her hands and flipped through a couple of pages. She twisted her eyebrows and said, “Your plan is to walk on a T stage and then shoot an advertis.e.m.e.nt film. This is no different from a traditional advertis.e.m.e.nt. It is not innovative enough to catch people’s eyes.”
Ye Ting’s expertise had been questioned. She put her hands on her waist and said, “Miss Ning, do you know what marketing is? How do you want to be innovative? If you don’t understand, don’t comment here unless you have better suggestions.”
Ning Qing held on to the marketing plan, looked at Ye Ting calmly, and said, “Alright, since Manager Ye thinks so highly of me, I will definitely come up with a good suggestion for Manager Ye to listen to.”
“Hah, whatever.” Ye Ting laughed scornfully and turned away.
Ning Qing fiercely raised a small tender fist behind her. Don’t look down upon people.
She would definitely come up with a better way.
…
Everyone was off work, and Ning Qing got up and walked to the elevator.
The elevator was crowded with people. Ning Qing decided to wait for the next batch.
While waiting, several Guang Qing girls came to her for her signature. “Wow, Ning Qing, you are so beautiful. Can you give us your autograph?”
“OK.” Ning Qing burst into a flower-like smile and gave them her autograph after taking the pen.
She had just finished signing when a handsome figure appeared in her eyes, she looked up, Lu Shaoming was walking to the president VIP elevator on this side.
He looked at her calmly, and perhaps because of their cooperative business relations.h.i.+p, he nodded slightly to her.
“Young Master Lu.” Ning Qing returned the pen to the little girl and stepped forward. “The elevator is too full so I’m waiting. Now that I’m lucky enough to meet Young Master Lu, can you give me a lift?”
It was just a VIP elevator, he wouldn’t be unwilling.
The man’s good upbringing took the reigns.
“All right.” Lu Shaoming nodded and opened the elevator doors with his fingerprint. The gentleman let her in first, and then he went in.
He stood in front of her and closed the elevator doors.
When the elevator went down, n.o.body spoke. Ning Qing raised her little head, and a pair of gentle autumn pupils wantonly lingered on him.
His back was straight and upright, and his watch-wearing hand was randomly inserted into his pocket. Ning Qing could see the s.e.xy prominent Adam’s apple of the man around his white s.h.i.+rt collar and his clean deep hairline.
He remained unchanged, exquisite and charming everywhere.
They were very close, about 30 centimeters apart. Ning Qing knew that as long as she stepped forward, she could hold him tightly, and she could take in his charming scent as before.
But she couldn’t.
Because… He would push her away.
Maybe he wouldn’t let her get close at all.
It was good to sneak a peek at him like this.
Lu Shaoming knew she was looking at him. He looked at her through the gla.s.s mirror in the elevator. She was looking up at him with such dedicated and pious eyes.
“Miss Ning, are you getting off on the first floor? I’m going to get the car on the ground floor.” The man suddenly opened his mouth and spoke with a low and rich voice.
Ning Qing’s thoughts were interrupted; he did not turn his head when he spoke, as if he had asked a casual question. Ning Qing tucked a strand of beautiful hair on her cheek behind her ear and answered with a raised willow eyebrow, “Alright, I’ll get off on the first floor.”
With a Ding, the elevator stopped on the first floor.
“Young Master Lu, thank you. Bye bye.” Ning Qing stepped out of the elevator. Instead of turning around, she stood at the door of the elevator and waved her plain fair hand at him.
Lu Shaoming took a look at her. She was wearing a black cashmere sweater, pearl turtleneck, a small wine-red fluffy skirt, a pair of jeans, and white shoes on her feet. The woman had an energetic aura full of youth and fas.h.i.+on.
She was very beautiful. Her palm-sized face was delicate and beautiful. There was a small ear stud hanging from her snow-white earlobe, glittering brightly.
The light of the hall on the first floor was s.h.i.+ning on her, and her eyes curved to say goodbye to him warmly.
Lu Shaoming had no expression. He nodded slightly and reached out to close the elevator.
The girl disappeared before his eyes.
On the first floor, he went to pick up the car and opened the door of the Bentley. He cleared his throat a little. He didn’t know when his mouth had gone dry.
…
Ning Qing stood by the roadside waiting for the car. Her limo would come to pick her up, but she thought about it and sent a text message to Xiao Zhou to let her know to not come to pick her up.
As soon as she grabbed her cell phone, she saw the familiar Bentley coming.
Ning Qing raised her smiling face and jumped down the roadside steps. Her entire body stood in front of the Bentley.
Lu Shaoming drove slowly. As the Bentley was driving down the street, he noticed Ning Qing standing by the roadside at first sight.
He was not surprised that she had jumped out to stop the car. It was already expected.
He raised his lips indifferently.
Ning Qing came to the window and said, “Young Master Lu, it’s not easy to get a taxi now. Can you give me a ride?”
