Night Fire Lingering

Chapter 330 The matchmaking market is just rummaging through trash.

"Jiang Lu, why are you so absent-minded?"

Her colleague's voice brought Jiang Xing back to her senses, and she realized that she had been lost in thought for a long time.

Jiang Xing smiled and said, "I'm thinking of a contract."

I'm wondering... why did Lou Qi come to find Gu Yanci?

Her relationship with Lou Qi has been strained lately. Could it be that he deliberately came to find Gu Yanci to interfere with her or... inquire about her?

Isn't she being a little too narcissistic with her thinking?

A colleague with short hair leaned over and suddenly lowered her voice, saying, "Jiang Lu, don't you have a boyfriend? My cousin just came back from the US. He's a computer science PhD from Columbia University. He used to work at Google, but now he's back as a university professor. Would you like to consider him?"

Just as Jiang Xing was about to refuse, another long-haired colleague said, "Jiang Lu's ex-boyfriend is the founder of Mingkai Technology. If her ex-boyfriend is so outstanding, she probably wouldn't be interested in your cousin!"

My colleague with short hair said, "Mingkai Technology's cash flow is about to dry up, and it's not necessarily that great."

The long-haired colleague smiled and said, "You don't know this, but I heard that the young master of the Cheng family plans to invest in Mingkai Technology. If the startup survives, it might take off and become a giant. Things will be very different now!"

These two colleagues have a conflict and are secretly plotting against each other.

Jiang Xing looked at her long-haired colleague in surprise.

Has Ying Kai'an received new investment?

Young Master Cheng?

which one?

The short-haired colleague glanced at the long-haired colleague and said to Jiang Xing, "Jiang Lu, since you're single anyway, why don't you get to know my cousin and make friends?"

"I—" Jiang Xing was about to refuse, wanting to say that she was not single, but before she could finish speaking, she felt the surroundings become quiet, and the atmosphere became very strange.

She followed the gazes of the others and saw Lou Qi standing not far away at the department entrance!

"President Lou!" The department manager hurriedly went up to greet Lou Qi, exchanging pleasantries, "President Lou, what brings you here? What can I do for you?"

"I'm looking for her." Lou Qi's gaze fell on Jiang Xing.

The whole place was dead silent.

Jiang Xing's expression changed slightly. She and Lou Qi had known each other for more than half a year and had been together for more than four months. The two of them had tacitly avoided exposing their relationship at the company. She didn't know what had gotten into Lou Qi today!

Amidst the gossipy stares of his colleagues, Jiang Xing approached Lou Qi and respectfully greeted him, "President Lou."

Pretending not to know each other, but acting so convincingly!

Lou Qi was amused and asked, "What are you talking about? Introducing you to a boyfriend?"

Jiang Xing felt a tingling sensation on his scalp.

Even though she didn't agree, and even though their relationship wasn't a normal one, why did she feel guilty, like she'd been caught cheating?

Lou Qi's extremely oppressive gaze swept over them, and both the short-haired and long-haired colleagues who had just spoken lowered their heads and dared not utter a word.

"Come here," Lou Qi arrogantly tossed out, then turned and left.

The department manager gestured for Jiang Xing to follow quickly.

Jiang Xing sighed, already imagining how everyone would gossip about him.

-

"Wen Yan wants you to have dinner together." Lou Qi saw Jiang wake up and stepped into the elevator first.

"Why doesn't she come to find me herself?" Jiang Xing followed into the elevator.

She found it hard to believe that Wen Yan, who was used to making appointments in advance, would give such a last-minute notice.

Lou Qi's face was extremely ugly: "Go ask her."

The implication is that you will see her soon.

Jiang Xing stopped talking and maintained a polite demeanor towards Lou Qi, like a dutiful subordinate.

The elevator doors opened with a "ding".

Lou Qi took two steps outside, then suddenly stopped, ground his back teeth, and looked at Jiang Xing with barely suppressed rage:

"Introduce me to a boyfriend? Jiang Xing, do you know that the men on the dating market these days are practically scavenging garbage? How many of them are normal? Most computer science PhDs are balding, maybe even pot-bellied with high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and high blood sugar. If they need someone to introduce them to someone, nine times out of ten they're ugly, they came back from America because they couldn't make it there, and their abilities are terrible!"
