Moved to Golden Courtyard

How should I put it? After I quit my job, my mindset was different.

I took the elevator to the top floor and found Chief Engineer Xia’s office.

"Dong dong!"

"Please come in."

Still full of energy, Mr. Xia...

That day at the Meilong base, Chief Engineer Xia's words, "Go do what you want to do, young man," really touched Xu Qi.

Plus with the relationship with Xia Ya...perhaps to Xu Qi, Chief Engineer Xia is more like his grandfather, an elder, rather than the leader of the group.

"Chief Engineer Xia."

The door opened, and when Chief Engineer Xia heard the sound coming from the door, he was obviously stunned. When he saw Xu Qi walk in, he subconsciously adjusted the position of his glasses.

"Xu Qi?"

"Chief Engineer Xia, it's me."

A touch of joy immediately climbed onto the old man's face. He quickly stood up and went to meet Xu Qi. As soon as he came up, he shook Xu Qi's hand and said, "You're finally here. I haven't seen you for a long time! Come, sit with me for a while."

It has to be said that Xu Qi was somewhat flattered by Chief Engineer Xia's performance.

But then he thought of the time they had spent together in Meilon that day, and he felt relieved.

Chief Engineer Xia is a truly eclectic person.

"I was thinking you'd come earlier today, but it seems like you're a little late."

"Forehead……"

Xu Qi was a little embarrassed. Actually, he really wanted to rush over as soon as he received the call, but... Meiyi was really a little unbearable...

Chief Engineer Xia also glanced at Xu Qi suspiciously, and when his eyes fell on Xu Qi's neck... the old man immediately showed a look of realization.

He asked directly, "Is it the girl from last time?"

Um! ?

Xu Qi was startled, and saw Chief Engineer Xia pointing at his neck.

"You didn't look in the mirror before going out, it's still a little obvious."

"what……"

Xu Qi reacted immediately, and his toes were so embarrassed that they were scratched together... This... Although Chief Engineer Xia is an elder to him, this kind of thing was discovered...

Ah... It's so embarrassing, as if I'm saying goodbye to this earth!

"Hahahahaha!"

Chief Engineer Xia waved his hand. These young people were interesting. They reminded him of himself when he was young, and he seemed to be like this too.

"Are you together? Are you planning to get married?"

I didn’t expect Chief Engineer Xia to be so gossipy.

But how should I put it... I always feel that he treats me as both a friend and a junior, or in other words, his grandson.

After all, Char is his son, and he is Char's disciple. In terms of seniority, this is indeed the case.

"Well, but she is only 18 this year. She has to wait another two years before she is old enough to get married."

"Ah~~Is that so..." Chief Engineer Xia sighed with some regret. "But 18 years old... is quite young. I remember you are 25 this year, right?"

"Yes, Xia Gong."

Subconsciously, Xu Qi dropped the word "总", feeling that calling him that way would make him seem more intimate.

"Well, you don't have to worry about it. If two people are together, they can support each other and admire each other, that's the most important thing. At my age, I've basically let a lot of things go..."

As he said this, he was about to take out a cigarette to smoke, but after looking at Xu Qi, he put it away.

"Ah, Xia Gong, it's okay. I don't mind."

"Oh! No, no, and besides, don't get this bad habit, okay?"

"Well, I don't smoke. Mei always tells me not to smoke."

"Oh? Is your name Mei? It's a nice name... Remember to tell me on your wedding day, I'll be there."

"Ah."

Of course... Even in Xu Qi's heart, he was planning to have Xia Gong attend his wedding as an elder.

After he finished speaking, as if he had thought of something, Xia Gong's eyes became a little lonely.

"That brat Char always told me that Romuald's soul is still wandering in that tunnel. He's already 40 and still not getting married... but that's my fault."

Xu Qi pursed his lips.

Char...

Even until now, Xu Qi's thoughts are still very complicated.

After all, to him, Char was his master, but his path was different from his and he was too extreme...

"Let's not talk about this anymore! I'll just pretend I don't have this son..."

"Xia Gong!"

"Ok?"

Xu Qi hesitated for a while and said, "When you retire, you can call me more often and I will come to take care of you."

……

The old man, who already had gray hair, couldn't help but smile. The wrinkles on his face were squeezed together, and it looked like... he was really happy.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. You're here to resign, right? I've already completed all the formalities for you, but now there's still one stamp missing."

"what?"

Chief Engineer Xia took out a document.

"I guess you don't know who the current technical director of Department 6 is, but she is your direct supervisor in terms of procedures, so you still have to go and get her stamp of approval."

"Ok?"

"Then I won't keep you here. Oh, by the way..."

For some reason, Xu Qi always felt that Chief Engineer Xia's expression when he looked at him was a little strange, as if... there was some playful look hidden in it.

"The current technical director of the Sixth Department is also an acquaintance of mine. Please say hello to him when you see him."

······

With doubts in his heart, Xu Qi drove to Jiuting.

Logically speaking, given Chief Engineer Xia's position, it was just a stamp, so why would Xu Qi have to go there in person? Obviously, Engineer Xia wanted him to meet the new technical director of the Sixth Department.

Maybe it’s because of Char, after all, he was the one who sat in this seat before.

When he stepped into the gate of Jiuting Base, Xu Qi was filled with emotion. His mood was quite different from the last time he came here to pack up and go back.

After all, this time... I'm really leaving.

When someone met Xu Qi along the way, they all stood there in surprise, but they still subconsciously shouted, "Hello, Engineer Xu."

Seeing this, Xu Qi was also stunned, but he still nodded with a smile.

For a small technical manager to be able to achieve what Xu Qi has achieved is truly unique.

After all, he is... the hero who saved the Magic City subway.

Almost everyone on Line 9 knows that the 956 incident, the train that never stopped, was prevented by Xu Qi. It is no exaggeration to say that he is a legendary figure.

Walking into the office building, Xu Qi subconsciously turned left, but just as he stepped out, he remembered that he was no longer the technical manager here...

Shaking his head with a wry smile, he looked at the office again, and then... turned and left without any reluctance.

Goodbye, my past self.

I knocked on the technical director's office door, and a voice came from inside - "Come in."

It’s a female voice, and why does it sound familiar?

Xu Qi didn't think much about it, turned the handle and went in.

And when Xu Qi walked in and his eyes met the person behind the desk, both of them couldn't help but widen their eyes.

"Xu...Xu Qi?"

"Xin'an!?"

······

Inside the office, Xu Qi casually sat down on the sofa, crossed his legs and looked around the place that was so familiar to him, with a smile on his face as if he were meeting old friends again.

"So the acquaintance Xia Gong was referring to was you... I was wondering who it was."

Xin'an made a cup of tea for Xu Qi. This so-called sophisticated egoist also had a faint smile on his face at this moment, as if the surprise he felt when he saw Xu Qi just now was all fake.

She sat down next to Xu Qi very naturally, holding a cup of tea in her hand and spoke.

"Are you surprised? Although you resigned, I didn't. As one of the heroes of the 956 incident, and with the help of Chief Engineer Xia, isn't it natural for me to sit in this position?"

"That's true."

"Besides, it was you who offended those big leaders, not me. In fact, because I had some unpleasant experiences with you in the past, everyone is happy that I can move up a level.

I will do whatever is good for me, I remember I told you before."

Xu Qi smiled bitterly.

He still speaks so ruthlessly. As expected, it's still Xinan.

188. Bronya: I’ll give you my stockings as a reward…

"How about you? You went to Guangcheng for half a month. How was it going with your girlfriend?"

Xu Qi held his breath.

To be honest, if Xia Gong asked this question, Xu Qi would not have such strange thoughts. He would just tell the truth - things have developed to that point and they are planning to get married.

But when the object was Xin'an...the kiss the girl gave him when he left still left a deep impression on Xu Qi.

He hesitated for a moment and said, "Very good, why are you asking this?"

As if noticing Xu Qi's hesitation, Xin'an turned his head and a smile slowly appeared on his face.

In fact, she is really beautiful. When describing her as an urban beauty, it is by no means an exaggerated compliment but the truth.

"Nothing, you're here to stamp the seal, right?"

Xinan took the document from Xu Qi, stood up and walked to the desk.

I have to say, she now has the tone of a leader, and when she stood up, Xu Qi noticed that she was wearing grey middle-parted trousers and a suit jacket.

Dressed like this, she looks rigorous and conservative while also highlighting the advantages of her figure.

Tsk…Fashion

The bright red seal meant that Xu Qi had completely left the company.

"I'll hand it over to the HR department for you later, so you don't have to make another trip."

"Thanks."

"No need. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be able to sit in my current position at this age. I am a selfish person. I will never hesitate to do anything that is beneficial to me."

Okay...you're a tough guy.

"Would you like to have lunch together at noon?"

"No, there are people waiting for me at home."

"Oh... that girl Mei, right? Your girlfriend?"

"Didn't you see everything that day?"

Yes...but Xinan just wanted to confirm again...that a guy like this, whose mind is full of work once he gets into the mood, actually has a girlfriend.

"if……"
