After that, Qi Mei returned to her position. But when It was just past eleven o'clock, Yu Nan asked her to go to his office. He mainly asked about the progress of the project. She was supposed to leave directly after the work part, but she couldn't help asking, "Do you know what Mr. He wanted to talk to me about today?"
"He wants to invite his old classmate in the United States to join us." Yu Nan looked cold.
She paused, and after thinking for a moment, she said in a low voice, "To be the chief architect?"
"We haven't reached an agreement with Chen Tu yet, but now we are bringing in a new technical officer. I don't think this is appropriate. In my opinion, you are the most suitable candidate. As long as we can successfully get the funding, He Chong's doubts will be resolved. He will understand that you are competent for this job."
She remained silent. She understood what Yu Nan meant. Once they got the funding successfully, it meant that the investors also agreed with the current structure plan of the company. He Chong naturally was in no position to oppose her taking over the job.
"I'll announce the appointment at the company meeting next week at the latest," Yu Nan said directly.
"I will work hard." Qi Mei nodded.
At around five in the evening, Qi Mei received a WeChat message from Wu Xiangdai asking if Qi Mei wanted to have dinner with her tonight.
[What do you want to eat?]
[How's Boboji near your company?]
When Qi Mei was about to agree, her phone suddenly rang. She looked at the screen and saw that it was Song Bojian.
She answered the call.
"When will you get off work?" Song Bojian asked.
"About seven," she replied after thinking for a moment.
"When you get off work, can you accompany me somewhere?"
Hearing his polite tone, Qi Mei said without thinking, "Okay, wait for my call."
"Alright, I'll let you get on with your business."
She gave a simple reply and waited for him to hang up. In the end, there was no movement from the other side. Just as she was hesitating, his cold voice rang out, "You can hang up first."
"Okay." She hung up the phone after she finished speaking. She looked at her phone and had an inexplicable feeling.
But she still quickly sent a message to Wu Xiangdai.
[Sorry. I can't make it today. Let's meet another time.]
[My mouth is watering, but you're telling me you won't come?]
[I got something to deal with. I'll treat you next time.]
Wu Xiangdai directly called over. "Qi Mei, tell me honestly. What are you hiding from me? Do you have a new boyfriend?"
Qi Mei was speechless.
In the end, Qi Mei could only use the excuse that she was going to work overtime tonight. However, she also thought of a problem. How should she tell Wu Xiangdai about this? Actually, she didn't feel good to keep a secret. She wanted to have an outlet, but she had to ask Song Bojian's opinion first. They had agreed to keep the marriage a secret, but she suddenly became the one who wanted to tell a friend.
Qi Mei smiled helplessly. Unluckily, when it was almost time to get off work, a new situation happened. There was a problem with the sensor data, and the entire project team had to work overtime.
She could only send a message to Song Bojian first.
[I'm sorry, something happened here. I don't even know when I'll get off work.]
She was too embarrassed to tell him that they had to meet some other time. But he was so busy that he probably wouldn't be free next time.
A few minutes later.
Song Bojian replied to her.
[I'll wait for you.]
She was pacified by his words. After that, she perked up and continued to work. The sooner she solved the problem, the earlier she could get off work. Finally, at around nine o'clock, the work was done smoothly.
She hurriedly sent a message to Song Bojian.
[I'm done.]
Song Bojian replied very quickly.
[I'll meet you downstairs in ten minutes.]
She looked at the reply and suddenly realized something.
[Can we meet at the intersection where I got off in the morning?] She would get off work together with her colleagues, and if she was noticed by others, then the entire company would know that someone drove a Maybach to pick her up from work…
[Fine.]
She did not know if she was thinking too much, but she felt that he was a little too cold. This made her feel guilty because she was indeed asking for too much.
Song Bojian was always feted wherever he went, but she made him feel as if he was not fit to be seen… Thinking of this, she quickly packed her things and went downstairs with her bag after a few minutes. She stood under the street lamp, staring at the shadow under her feet while waiting for Song Bojian to come.
"Mr. Song, there is Mrs. Song." The driver drove the car closer and saw Qi Mei standing by the roadside.
Song Bojian watched her stomp on the ground with her head lowered. He even held his breath at this very minute because she was waiting for him.
