Transmigration: Experiencing Life's End - Dying Peacefully in One's Sleep

Chapter 497 Please Guide Me for the Rest of My Life (3)

Xu Qing stared at his phone for a while, and only picked it up to answer just as the call was about to be disconnected.

She didn't speak, and a clear male voice came from the other end of the phone: "Qingqing, good morning, have you had breakfast?"

"Is there something you need?" Xu Qing answered in the original owner's speaking style.

There was a pause on the other end, then the voice continued, "I'd like to invite you to lunch or dinner. Are you free?"

"Busy with work..." The rest of the sentence was unnecessary for Chen Han on the other end to say, as he understood what she meant.

"Okay then, when exactly are you free? I'll come to your company to find you."

Xu Qing raised an eyebrow; this Chen Han was indeed troublesome.

At first, what he said made people think he wasn't annoying, but later he pretended not to notice the rejection and kept pressing the issue, which made people unhappy.

It's no wonder that the original owner would still see him at first, but later became impatient to see him.

"Let's talk about it when I have time." After saying that, Xu Qing hung up the phone.

She turned on the stereo at home and played some soft music. She ate breakfast while listening to the music, and the helplessness and annoyance of getting up early were instantly soothed.

After having breakfast, she leisurely walked into the dressing room, casually picked up a black suit dress, and changed into it.

Next, I walked to the dazzling array of jewelry and picked out a vintage black and gold watch, which I paired with a thin bracelet. My necklace and earrings were also gold.

Finally, she sat in front of the makeup mirror, did a simple makeup application, grabbed her bag, put on her high heels, and went out.

When Xu Qing arrived at the company, it was already 10 o'clock, half an hour later than the original owner usually did.

"Good morning, Ms. Xu," Assistant Lin said as she stood up.

Mr. Xu is really different now, leaving early and arriving late all the time. Is this workaholic trying to change his ways?

"Good morning." Xu Qing nodded and walked straight into his office.

The top floor is all CEO offices, and it's very quiet as there are no other employees there.

She sat down in the chair behind her desk, picked up her water glass and took a sip; it contained warm water that Assistant Lin had filled for her.

The original owner knew that she had a bad stomach, so she didn't drink coffee.

"Knock knock knock~" Assistant Lin is coming to report today's work schedule.

"Enter."

"Mr. Xu, you have a lunch appointment with Mr. Wang from Yuechen Group today, and you also have a meeting at 3 pm."

After Assistant Lin finished speaking, she waited quietly for instructions. Xu Qing waved her hand, signaling her to leave.

After everyone left, she began to look at the projects that the company was currently working on.

After finishing the meeting at the company, Xu Qing left immediately. She went home, changed into comfortable clothes and shoes, and then went out to eat.

I had just chosen a restaurant that looked nice and walked in when I made eye contact with the people sitting in the booth.

Xu Qing: ...

She stopped in her tracks and even took a step back.

"Qingqing!" Chen Han saw her and immediately stood up and walked over.

Now that's bad, she can't leave even if she wants to. Xu Qing felt that she shouldn't go out tonight.

"Qingqing, are you coming for dinner too? Aren't you busy tonight?"

Chen Han is actually quite good-looking. He has a baby face that makes him look young, and he is about 1.8 meters tall. Standing in front of Xu Qing, who is 1.7 meters tall and not wearing high heels, he is still a bit taller.

He leaned closer, and Xu Qing stepped back, calmly saying, "Well, a client had something come up tonight, so I took some time out to have dinner with them."

"Then you can eat with us. I only have one friend."

Xu Qing glanced at the table where he was sitting, where a man with a scumbag-like face was smiling and waving at her: "Beautiful lady, come on over."

Just as she was about to refuse, Chen Han sensed her intention and immediately said with a hint of grievance and sadness, "Qingqing, can't we even have a meal together now?"

Xu Qing glanced at him coldly, and Chen Han's expression stiffened slightly before returning to normal: "It's just a meal."

"Okay." Xu Qing finally nodded, planning to find an opportunity to explain things to him after dinner.

Chen Han was unaware of her thoughts, but immediately smiled when she agreed.

Xu Qing sighed slightly; it was a mess the original owner had left her.

The two walked to the booth. Xu Qing sat on a separate seat on the outside and showed no intention of moving in. Chen Han had no choice but to sit down opposite her and ask the waiter to add another set of chopsticks and bowls.

Gu Xiao saw a hint of interest flash in Xu Qing's eyes and nudged Chen Han with his elbow: "Hurry up and introduce him!"

Chen Han recalled what kind of person he was and gave him a warning look: "This is my fiancée, Xu Qing."

After he finished speaking, he glanced at Xu Qing and saw that she had no expression on her face. He breathed a sigh of relief but was also a little disappointed.

"Fiancée?" Gu Xiao immediately withdrew his interest in Xu Qing; one shouldn't mess with one's brother's wife.

Then, as if remembering something, he looked at Chen Han uncertainly: "Wait, Xu Qing, isn't that the president of the Xu Group?"

Chen Han nodded, and Gu Xiao, having received confirmation, immediately dropped his unruly demeanor.

With a serious expression, he said to Xu Qing, "Hello, Mr. Xu, my name is Gu Xiao, and I am Chen Han's good friend."

As soon as Xu Qing's identity was revealed, Gu Xiao instantly knew that this was not someone he could casually flirt with, even though he didn't care much about his family's company.

But he also knew about the Xu Group. He had heard his father mention several times that under the management of the eldest daughter of the Xu family, the Xu Group had reached new heights and was showing signs of becoming a leading enterprise.

Xu Qing, in particular, was the object of comparison for parents to their own children, the "other people's child" in their parents' eyes.

Compared to Xu Qing, who is young and successful, these idle rich kids are simply useless.

Xu Qingchao nodded to him. She knew him; he was the male supporting character, Gu Xiao, a playboy, a carefree rich second-generation, and also the male lead Gu Wei's cousin.

The Lin Group also has some cooperation with the Gu family's company, but the original owner did not know Gu Xiao, only his parents.

The original owner's identity was quite useful, avoiding a lot of unnecessary entanglements.

Chen Han also felt pressured when facing her, after all, the original owner was too outstanding, which could easily make people feel inferior.

The president really does have a powerful aura. Gu Xiao chuckled and took the menu, handing it over: "President Xu, please order. See what you'd like to eat."

"Thank you." Xu Qing was indeed hungry at the moment, so she took the menu and opened it.

Chen Han realized that he was actually less considerate and quicker than Gu Xiao. He was too slow to react and couldn't help but feel annoyed.

Gu Xiao lowered his voice and whispered in his ear, "Why didn't you mention that your fiancée is President Xu?"

Both are rich kids who enjoy eating, drinking, and having fun, so why is Chen Han so miserable? How can he still have fun freely when facing someone with such a strong aura?

Chen Han didn't think so. He admired and liked Xu Qing's strength: "It wasn't made public. Our parents arranged the marriage when we were young."

However, he seemed to feel a little inferior at times, after all, although his grades were good when he was in school, he was still not as outstanding as Xu Qing in all aspects.
