Chapter 23#
World 1: The Tragic Supporting Male Lead Changes the Script Online#
The creditors of POC ultimately failed to make a scene. The company was very satisfied with Qin Qing’s performance and gave him a bonus of several hundred yuan.
After receiving his salary and bonus, Qin Qing used the money to buy gifts for Ji Lan, Qin Huaichuan, Qin Guangyuan, and Ji Mingtang respectively.
Ji Lan’s was a beautiful and exquisite parasol, Qin Huaichuan’s was a tie, Qin Guangyuan’s was a set of Chinese chess, and Ji Mingtang’s was a fishing rod.
The gifts were not expensive, but they catered to their likes, making the elders grin from ear to ear. Although they missed Qin Qing’s growing period, the joy of this companionship did not seem to diminish at all.
Ji Lan and Qin Huaichuan, who originally asked about Qin Zishi’s recent situation regularly, slowly stopped calling him so frequently. In this way, the relationship naturally became distant.
Feelings are indeed cultivated, but if you meet a very likable person, the originally weak feelings can quickly accumulate and heat up and break through the critical value.
Seeing Qin Qing, who was loved everywhere he went, and thinking of the plot that had collapsed beyond recognition, 996 was so angry that it kept wagging its tail.
Qin Qing seemed completely unable to feel 996’s resentment, opened a can of salmon, and said gently: “I’m going to a meeting, you stay here obediently.”
996 buried its head in the can and ate wildly, and its resentment unconsciously diminished a lot. Meow, Qin Qing is still quite loyal.
Qin Qing picked up the documents on the desk and took the elevator to the top floor. After entering the conference room, he put the documents on the table, then went to the pantry and brewed two cups of hot coffee.
Seeing Xu Yizhi and Cang Ming walk into the conference room side by side, he immediately stood up and pulled out the chair next to him: “President Xu, please sit.”
Xu Yizhi sat down with a smile.
Cang Ming, who was the boss but no one pulled the chair for him: “…”
Qin Qing pushed a cup of coffee in front of Xu Yizhi: “President Xu, please drink.”
Cang Ming, who found nothing in front of him after sitting down: “…”
Seeing Cang Ming who was a bit aggrieved but couldn’t say anything, Xu Yizhi covered his lips with his hand and laughed silently. Since meeting this little flower, his life seemed to become more and more interesting.
“You are very observant.” Xu Yizhi picked up the coffee, leaned towards Qin Qing, and said with a low laugh.
Qin Qing nodded and accepted this compliment unceremoniously. But the colleagues sitting around showed weird expressions.
Only seeing the direct boss in the eyes, not the big boss of the company, is this called observant? President Xu is speaking ironically, right? It’s a pity that this small employee is stupid and didn’t hear it at all.
Cang Ming opened the document, scanned a few times absent-mindedly, finally looked up at Qin Qing, his tone somewhat unnatural: “Qin Qing, please make me a cup of coffee.”
Qin Qing stood up subconsciously, but glimpsed a chubby fur ball running quickly into the conference room.
“Go make coffee quickly, and then spill the coffee on Cang Ming’s leg. This is an important plot!” 996 shouted anxiously.
At the same time, Qin Zishi also walked into the conference room, pulled out a chair and sat opposite Qin Qing.
The script recorded that the coffee spilled by the original owner scalded Cang Ming and also soaked Cang Ming’s phone, causing some important data to be lost in the phone. These data could not be retrieved by repairing the phone, so Qin Zishi tried every means to search for information and collected the data.
With this tenacity, he won Cang Ming’s favor.
Promoting the emotional development between the destined couple is the most important task, so 996 had to run over to remind.
Qin Qing, who had originally stood up, sat back naturally and said gently: “President Cang, making coffee is not within my duties. If you need it, you can ask your secretary.”
Although it was expected that Qin Qing would go against the plot, 996 was still angry and screamed.
Cang Ming looked silently at Xu Yizhi who was drinking coffee, his eyes changed several times, and finally turned into dissatisfaction. Both are bosses, why make for one and not for the other?
Qin Qing understood what he meant, but pretended not to understand, opened the document calmly, and read it seriously. He almost wrote the sentence “Don’t look for me” on his forehead.
Cang Ming stared at the top of his dark hair and took a deep breath secretly. Why is he rejected every time they meet?
The dissatisfied gaze transferred from Qin Qing to Xu Yizhi.
Xu Yizhi raised the coffee cup to cover the slightly raised corners of his lips, but the narrowed long eyes eventually exposed his bad taste and joy.
This scene was taken into everyone’s eyes. Some were shocked, some couldn’t understand, and some thought Qin Qing was playing hard to get.
Qin Zishi sitting opposite turned his head away, hooked his lips and smiled contemptuously. Qin Qing wants to attract Cang Ming’s attention with rebellion, so that Cang Ming realizes how unique he is? Such a trick is simply too inferior.
Qin Zishi stood up and said: “President Cang, I’ll go make coffee for you.”
“Thank you.” Cang Ming still stared at Qin Qing’s lowered head and replied lightly.
The coffee was quickly brought over by Qin Zishi.
Only then did Qin Qing raise his head to look at the participants, his clear eyes flickering, hiding some guilt. When looking around everyone, he directly skipped the gloomy-faced Cang Ming, avoiding the possibility of looking at him.
Treating the big boss like this, he would also feel embarrassed.
Capturing his guilt and shame, Cang Ming’s dull mood inexplicably eased a lot.
He looked at the assistant aside and asked, “Is everyone here?”
“The financial director hasn’t arrived yet. He said he needs to print some materials.” The assistant reported immediately.
Since not everyone was here, Qin Qing picked up the coffee cup and prepared to take a sip, but unexpectedly 996 suddenly jumped out from under the table, and its furry paw slapped his arm hard.
The already inflexible right hand couldn’t resist such a sudden attack at all.
The coffee cup flew up out of thin air, crossed Xu Yizhi, and landed in front of Cang Ming with a clatter. When the cup overturned, it also knocked over Cang Ming’s coffee cup, and the dark brown hot liquid instantly flowed all over the table.
If Cang Ming hadn’t reacted fast enough, grabbed the phone and slid the chair back quickly, he might have been scalded. But even so, the important document placed in front of him was ruined.
Drip drop… The thick coffee liquid dripped down the edge of the table, staining the expensive carpet.
The table was a mess, and the conference room was in a strange silence.
Qin Qing was stunned for a few seconds before hurriedly standing up, wanting to clean up the coffee stains, but his wrist was tightly held by Xu Yizhi.
“Don’t dirty yourself, let the cleaner do it.” He reminded in a low voice.
Qin Qing nodded, withdrew his hand, looked up and saw Cang Ming with a cold face, his heart tightened. His thin lips opened and closed slightly, wanting to explain, but didn’t know where to start.
Just then, Qin Zishi sitting opposite suddenly said: “Brother, did you do it on purpose? Your cup flew too far.”
Yeah, if not on purpose, how could a full cup of coffee fly directly in front of President Cang across President Xu? Everyone in the conference room began to speculate on Qin Qing’s intention.
What is he doing? Deliberately angering President Cang? No, no! Doing so does him no good. Could it be that he wants to imitate Ms. Deng and catch a rich son-in-law with a spilled cup of coffee?
Thinking like this, everyone’s eyes brought a bit of contempt and disdain.
Qin Qing sighed secretly in his heart and asked: “President Cang, if I say the kitten did it, do you believe it?”
Cang Ming walked slowly to the conference table where the coffee liquid was flowing, his voice cold and emotionless: “Where is the kitten?”
Qin Qing turned his head to search around, and then realized that not to mention 996 had run away without a trace, even if it stood openly on the podium, people here couldn’t see it.
The reason he gave was too ridiculous!
Qin Qing shook his head, then raised his hand to cover his face, groaning helplessly. Through the slender jade-like fingers, some steaming flesh that turned from white to pink was revealed. He blushed, for a sentence that didn’t go through his brain.
Who would believe such an absurd explanation? President Cang would definitely think this employee has mental problems. Thinking of this, the tips of Qin Qing’s fair and transparent ears also turned red.
Covering his face, he didn’t notice that Cang Ming and Xu Yizhi lowered their eyes at the same time, covering a trace of smile deep in their eyes.
Qin Zishi picked up the pen on the table and turned it quickly to cover up the secret joy in his heart.
The kitten did it? How could Qin Qing say it! Does he think his answer is cute? However, he doesn’t know that playing dumb, acting spoiled and crazy, pretending to be innocent, such inferior means will only make Cang Ming sick!
Qin Zishi stared at Cang Ming tightly, waiting for his reaction with secret excitement.
However, Cang Ming stood expressionlessly all the time, without the next move. What is he waiting for? Accumulating anger?
Xu Yizhi stood up and silently pressed Cang Ming’s shoulder. This was a warning and a suppression, to prevent Cang Ming from really venting his anger on Qin Qing.
Cang Ming turned his head, looked at Xu Yizhi’s hand on his shoulder, and then slowly and indifferently brushed it away.
He turned to look at Qin Qing, a ripple appeared in his dark eyes, and asked calmly: “I believe it, so can you make me a cup of coffee now?”
The conference room became quieter than before.
Qin Qing, full of shame, suddenly looked up and looked over incredulously. Isn’t President Cang angry? Does he really believe that kind of words that sound extremely stupid to others?
Xu Yizhi was stunned, his eyes darkened quickly, then chuckled and sat back. Cang Ming is not right!
Cang Ming said to the assistant sitting by the door: “Call the cleaner in to clean up.” The tone was very light and deep, but completely unlike the usual coldness.
Almost hit by a cup of coffee on the face, he was not angry at all, and accepted that absurd explanation.
Cat? Where is the cat in the conference room?
Everyone had different thoughts, but dared not show those contempt and disdain on their faces anymore. At this moment, everyone coincidentally saw through a secret—in President Cang’s eyes, Qin Qing is different. He is treated with extra tolerance.
The ballpoint pen quickly turned at Qin Zishi’s fingertips suddenly flew out of his hand, making a crisp sound. He hurriedly bent down to pick up the pen, and when his body was hidden under the table, his face instantly twisted and ferocious.
Why could Cang Ming turn around and leave when he was soaked by champagne, but now he is so tolerant to Qin Qing? Why can’t he be cold all the time?
On the other end, Qin Qing finally came back to his senses and said hurriedly: “President Cang, I’ll make coffee for you right away, and copy a document for you by the way. I’m really sorry just now.”
“It doesn’t matter, the financial director is still on the way, you go.” Cang Ming waved his hand, his attitude very gentle.
Qin Qing observed his expression repeatedly, confirmed that he was really not angry, and then left the conference room hurriedly with a trace of rejoicing and disbelief.
996 poked its head out from behind the hidden potted plant and murmured angrily: “Meow, why is even the male protagonist changing the plot? Meow, you are forcing me! Then don’t blame me for using ruthless moves next!”
