Night Fire Lingering

Chapter 315: Will the old flame with your first love be rekindled?

Lou Qi had a chaotic private life in the past, but he has always been self-disciplined in his daily routine.

Jiang Xing didn't think getting up at six o'clock was late, but at this time, Lou Qi had already finished exercising and taken a shower.

The two had a bit of a disagreement last night. In the past, Jiang Xing would have been too lazy to talk to Lou Qi, but today she had to take the initiative to talk to him.

"Lou Qi, you weren't originally planning to go to the tech company summit next week, were you?"

Most tech startups are either not yet commercialized or in the early stages of commercialization, essentially burning through cash. These companies attract venture capital firms or funds whose investment goal is to make a fortune through initial public offerings (IPOs). The Lou family's group has its own independent venture capital firm and department, yet they couldn't even get Lou Qi to participate in a summit of this caliber.

"Mm." Lou Qi peeled an egg and placed it on Jiang Xing's plate. He didn't tell her that he had originally planned to go with her.

"Why don't you give me an invitation, and I'll go myself?" Jiang Xing was very understanding. "You're already very busy, and I don't want to waste your time."

Lou Qi inexplicably recalled how skillfully he had rejected those so-called exes in the past.

So-called understanding doesn't require the person's company; it's just a matter of not missing them.

He planned to cancel his original work to accompany Jiang Xing to that useless summit, but what happened?

People are unwilling.

And they say it's a waste of time!

Lou Qi pursed his lips and remained silent. Jiang Xing took this as a tacit agreement.

The driver and secretary were already waiting outside the door.

Jiang Xing treated everyone with equal courtesy. He said goodbye to Lou Qi, the driver, and the secretary, and then drove himself to work.

"Find someone to take care of her beat-up car." Lou Qi only looked away after Jiang Xing's car had completely disappeared from sight.

"Handle?" The secretary was a little confused.

Lou Qi looked at him: "Do you want me to teach you?"

“I understand!”

They deliberately damaged Ms. Jiang's car without her noticing, leaving her without a car to drive!

The secretary recalled that when Ms. Jiang first moved in with Mr. Lou, he used the excuse of his own inconvenience to drive her to work. The next day, Ms. Jiang bought a BYD car and drove herself to work.

"There's a tech startup summit next week?" Lou Qi seemed to recall it.

"Yes, the time is next Monday morning, but you declined before." The secretary keenly sensed that her boss was in a bad mood today and spoke much more cautiously. "Do you have any new plans?"

"Make time for me, and give me another invitation." After Lou Qi finished speaking, he suddenly thought of something, his expression turning cold, and he asked his secretary, "Is Ying Kaian attending?"

"He's on the invitation list, and his company is short of funds, so he'll likely attend."

Lou Qi leaned back in his chair listlessly and closed his eyes.

He specifically asked him for an invitation, and Ying Kaian was also attending, but he still didn't want him to go. What exactly is Jiang Xing trying to do?

Tsk, is he rekindling his old flame with his first love?

-

I returned to my abandoned penthouse apartment after get off work.

An elegant invitation sat on the coffee table, with a note attached that read:

On business trip.

Lou Qi is away on a business trip.

After confirming his relationship with Lou Qi, he did go on business trips, but he would always call or tell Jiang Xing where he was going and how many days he would be away, just like a normal couple reporting to each other.

This was the first time Lou Qi had left only two cold and curt words.

Jiang Xing held the note and pondered: Lou Qi is angry.

why are you mad?

Was it because I rejected him last night?

But didn't he stop being angry later?

Jiang Xing didn't quite understand, but she was too lazy to think about it.

She had more important things to do.
