With that, the elevator door closed.
Qiao Qiao stared at the elevator door in front of her, her mind filled with what Song Yun had just said. “The new President is here.” “The company is about to change.” Was it because Shao Jingmo had transferred a portion of his shares to her?
Qiao Qiao didn’t delve into the specific reason.
Firstly, it was meaningless. Secondly, the things Shao Jingmo had given her would eventually return to him. To her, this wealth was only temporarily kept with her. Including Deep Blue Corporation. He had worked hard to manage it for so many years. How could he easily return it to the Qiao family? It was all an illusion. His ambition was unimaginable.
Around four in the afternoon, when Qiao Qiao was dealing with work in the office, she received a bouquet of flowers from her colleague.
The colleague said, “It was sent by a man who claimed to be surnamed Bai.”
Qiao Qiao looked at the bouquet of roses in front of her. “Bai Chen?”
The colleague shook his head. “He only said his surname was Bai, but he didn’t say his name. But this bouquet was given to you by name.”
Qiao Qiao reached out to take it and said to her colleague, “Thank you.”
Her colleague smiled and teased, “No one in the company has dared to woo you because President Qiao is around. No one dares to covet President Qiao’s position as his nephew-in-law. I didn’t expect someone outside to have already made the first move. Just now, I passed by and told everyone that this bouquet of flowers was given to you by a handsome man. All the male colleagues in the entire department are crying and regretting not wooing you earlier.”
Qiao Qiao smiled faintly and didn’t feel uncomfortable with her colleague’s teasing. “It’s a little exaggerated, but I’m also single now.”
Her colleague’s eyes widened. “Really?”
Qiao Qiao nodded. “Yes.”
She turned and placed the roses in her arms on the table. Her colleague came up behind her and asked, “What about Mr. Bai, who sent the flowers?”
Qiao Qiao looked up. “We just met.”
Her colleague left with a gossipy expression. Seeing that the door was closed, Qiao Qiao took out the card between the flowers. The pink-and-purple card had a line of gold-embossed writing on it: Can I come to your house for dinner tonight?
At the bottom was a list of numbers.
Qiao Qiao stared at the phone number for a while, then took the cell phone and entered this number. After five rings, the other party picked up. His extremely magnetic voice was slightly low. “Hello.”
Qiao Qiao said, “I’m fine.”
There was silence for two or three seconds, then a low laugh came from the other end. It was as pleasant as a cello. If she hadn’t seen it before, Qiao Qiao would probably have imagined Bai Chen’s appearance to a higher level.
Bai Chen spoke slowly, her words clearly surprised. “l really didn’t expect you to call the number on the card.’
Qiao Qiao asked, “Why? Isn’t the phone number on the card yours?”
“Yes, of course.” Bai Chen’s tone changed from surprise to excitement. “It’s just that I didn’t expect Miss Qiao, who wouldn’t even let me in that night, to accept my roses today. You didn’t throw them away. You even looked at the card and called the number on it.’
Qiao Qiao threw the card into the trash can, walked around the desk, and sat down in the chair. “Bai Chen, do you know what happened to me because you ran to give me a flower that night?”
Bai Chen was curious. “Oh? Allergic to flowers?” Qiao Qiao’s lips twitched. “I’m allergic to you.”
“Can this be treated?” Bai Chen sounded a little worried.
Qiao Qiao said, “It’s incurable.”
Bai Chen said, “That’s a pity. I like you so much and want to be with you. I even think that we might be the right couple.”
Qiao Qiao rolled her eyes speechlessly. Unfortunately, Bai Chen couldn’t see it through the phone.
At this moment, Bai Chen asked her, “You haven’t accepted my flowers for three days. Why did you think of accepting my flowers today? Tell me the truth, are you moved by my persistence day after day?”
Qiao Qiao was puzzled. “What did you say?”
Bai Chen chuckled. “Although you rejected me that night, I was really happy that you accepted a rose from me. From the next day onwards, I sent roses to your company every day. You rejected me for three days, but you accepted it today and even called me. What does this mean? It means that you’re moved by me.”
After rejecting it for three days, she received it today. Qiao Qiao only needed to think for a moment to know what was going on.
For the first three days, the roses were intercepted by Shao Jingmo’s men, so she didn’t know at all.
As for why she received the roses today, it was because she and Shao Jingmo had divorced. Shao Jingmo tacitly agreed that others could woo her and did not stop the roses today. That was why they were successfully delivered to
her..
