Jingxia Rose

Chapter 25-025: Apology

Ji Xian's first reaction upon hearing this was shock and surprise.

The Qin family started in real estate and has long since expanded its business into overseas circles. The financial industry has also seen significant growth, and is currently under the control of the eldest son, Qin Jiaheng.

Qin Luoxi minored in finance abroad. Logically speaking, if she wanted to gain experience in a company, she could have joined her own company. Why did she come to Linqi?
Could it be that they think the branch office is too far away because it's located overseas?

That won't work either, since Qin Luoxi had been studying in the United States.

Putting all that aside, there's only one reason left.

They came for Wen Qi.

Thinking of this, Ji Xian couldn't help but laugh. Qin Luoxi was, after all, a daughter of a prestigious family, knowledgeable and pampered at home. She shouldn't be so eager to become a mistress.

This is an insult to civility!
Ye Xueyan felt a chill run down her spine from her sudden laugh, and leaned back slightly. "What are you laughing at?"

"It's nothing." Ji Xuan shook his head, dismissing those thoughts, and asked seriously, "Has she started working yet?"

It's already 9:30, long past working hours.

Ye Xueyan shrugged. "I don't know. Yesterday, HR and Qin Luoxi stayed in the president's office for more than half an hour. I don't know what they talked about. Afterwards, they came out together. HR seemed to be flattering Qin Luoxi, but Qin Luoxi didn't seem to show any emotion."

Ji Xian didn't guess what was going on. Seeing the email icon flashing in the lower right corner of the computer, she clicked on it. She had just scanned the contents and reached for the keyboard, but before she could type anything, Ye Xueyan suddenly nudged her arm lightly.

He muttered in a whisper, "Speak of the devil and he appears. Oh no, she really is here for work."

Upon hearing this, Ji Xuan glanced to the side. Her workstation was separated from the cubicles outside by a small corner, so people outside couldn't see inside, and people inside couldn't see outsiders.

So when Ye Xueyan saw Qin Luoxi, she was less than four or five meters away from them.

Her voice was so soft that Ji Xian could only vaguely hear a few indistinct words, but that was enough.

Qin Luoxi was dressed in a Chanel dress, with a beige designer handbag slung over her shoulder. Her slender wrists were adorned with a luxury watch and bracelets. Coupled with her small, doll-like face, she looked incredibly wealthy.

This doesn't look like someone who's here to work and gain experience; it looks more like someone who's here to be a pampered lady.

They're waiting for their subordinates to serve them.

Ji Xuan, with a smile on his face, stood up and nodded, "Miss Qin."

When Qin Luoxi saw her, she was momentarily dazed, remembering a similar scene when she came here a few years ago. She stood up and greeted her.

But at that time, her position was merely that of a secretary.

But now, with the passage of time, she has truly risen to prominence and become Wen Qi's rightful girlfriend.

She thought that Ji Xian must be feeling smug.

Especially the words her friend relayed after returning from Old Mrs. Qin's birthday banquet with a pale face made her feel ashamed and angry for many days.

Even now, when she sees Ji Xian, she still feels dislike, even disgust.

Is Brother Qi inside?

"Mr. Wen is inside. Let me inform him for Miss Qin."

As he spoke, Ji Xian picked up the intercom, but before he could press the button, Qin Luoxi stopped him, saying, "I actually came to see you."

Ji Xian was taken aback, his calm eyes looked at her, and he put down the microphone in his hand.

Ye Xueyan was also very perceptive and immediately made an excuse to leave.

"Miss Qin, would you please move to the reception room?"

"No need. I don't know you well. It would only take a couple of sentences. It would be too much trouble to make such a fuss."

Ji Xian nodded, waiting for her to continue.

"It's mainly about what happened at the last banquet."

Qin Luoxi crossed her arms, still maintaining a somewhat arrogant posture, and her expression was extremely unnatural, suggesting that she had never apologized to anyone or lowered her head before.

Upon hearing this, Ji Xian immediately understood why she had sought her out. However, she remained silent and waited for her to continue.

"It was indeed my fault for getting you drunk that day. My parents have already scolded me. So, I've come here today to apologize to you."

That day, Wen Qi said he respected the Qin family and also asked her to respect his girlfriend.

His girlfriend!
Given this emphasis and defense, Qin Luoxi had no choice but to apologize in order not to damage the relationship between the two families.

Although she struggled internally for many days about apologizing.

But he was unwilling to accept it, so he used the opportunity to gain experience in Linqi Capital as a condition to have his parents and Wen Qi or Wen Jingyan bring it up.

In this way, she could comfort herself that she had made this concession out of necessity because she wanted to be closer to him.

worth!

However, this was just an excuse to make her feel a little better.

Her pride as a socialite wouldn't allow her to interfere in other people's relationships, or to steal someone else's love, or to become the very thing she hated most.

Ji Xian dared not say, nor did he dare to believe, that her apology was somewhat sincere.

Of course, unless Qin Luoxi said anything, she couldn't think of any excuse to make concessions.

After all, it really is somewhat unbelievable.

“At the banquet, toasting each other is inevitable. I just had a few extra drinks, which is nothing. There’s no need for Miss Qin to make a special trip.”

Ji Xian curved her lips into a slight smile, her voice soft and gentle, with a soothing tone. She didn't continue with the unpleasant term "forced drinking," but instead attributed the matter to the ordinary act of toasting.

Her open and unconcerned attitude suggests she genuinely wants to put an end to the matter.

The implication was that she didn't take it to heart.

But the more compliant she was, the more uneasy Qin Luoxi felt.

It would be better to be mocked and harassed by her cold words.

Ji Xian is like a ball of cotton that looks soft and harmless, but if you really squeeze it, the silver needles inside will be revealed.

It's extremely tough.

"I was just saying, I should have asked Brother Qi for your contact information and texted you. Instead, I had to get up early to put on makeup, and then I had to take it off when I got back."

Qin Luoxi snorted coldly, all her previous awkwardness and unease vanishing.

Just like that arrogant and disdainful attitude he had just displayed.

Without waiting for Ji Xian to speak, she waved her hand casually and said, "I'm leaving."

Instead, they've confused Ji Xuan. Wasn't he here to start work? And he's already leaving?
Ji Xian thought about it and decided that she should tell Wen Qi, especially about Qin Luoxi's joining the company. She didn't know the details, so it would be better to ask her.

After replying to the email on her computer, she knocked on the office door.

"Come in."

Ji Xuan pushed open the door and went in. "Miss Qin just arrived."

Wen Qi looked up at her, seemingly unsurprised. "Hmm, what did you say?"

"She apologized to me." Seeing his calm demeanor, Ji Xuan asked directly, "I heard that Miss Qin is going to join the company, but there's been no word from HR..."

“I refused,” Wen Qi said. “She is not suitable for Lin Qi.”

Most importantly, he knew Qin Luoxi's thoughts, so naturally he wouldn't give her any chance. Besides, he was also afraid that Ji Xian would feel uncomfortable working with her and wouldn't even know if he was being bullied.

Ji Xian isn't the type to complain.
