Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Owner of a Startup

"Didn't you rest, okay?" Huang Lu glanced at Lin Xiao in the passenger seat, and asked as if unintentionally: "It's still close to the holiday, and you can't sleep at night with excitement?" ”

"I said don't always play with fools. ”

"Don't always play with Qin Yueyue. ”

The two said almost in unison, and as soon as the words fell, Lin Xiao and Huang Lu glanced at each other, and suddenly couldn't help laughing.

Lin Xiao's complexion was not good, and there was an obvious blue and black under his eyes. Even if you change to a heavier foundation, you can usually see some of it, but fortunately, when you are on camera, it is not very obvious under the fill light and the slight beauty filter that comes with the system. It's just that the dark circles under the eyes can be covered, but there is no way to hide the spirit of the whole person.

Even when he first started working at Fantes, Lin Xiao was not particularly familiar with live broadcasting, but he also showed obvious focus and seriousness. Looking at the screen and the tone of voice when introducing the speech, it is very contagious, and it is easy for people to sit upright and get serious.

But now, most of this spirit has disappeared.

Huang Lu had already noticed this change in Lin Xiao, but he didn't have time. The lilac purple zebra pattern finally came out, and the factory began to enter the holiday stage, the workers went home one after another, Huang Lu ran around all day long in various year-end meetings and year-end banquets, and when he returned to the studio every day, it was almost Lin Xiao's time to sow it.

After going back and forth, the two still had a rare time to sit together like now, without anything else, and in purity.

"Qin Yue has to fight with you sooner or later," Lin Xiao curled the corners of her mouth, and her tone was a little helpless: "That is, she has a good temper, and she is not angry when she is washed by you like this every day." ”

"If it had been someone else, he would have fought with me a long time ago. Huang Lu took Lin Xiao's next words in a kind manner and said.

Lin Xiao looked at him and was slightly stunned, and said, "No wonder she says that you are Huang Shiren every day, and I think she has wronged you." ”

"But it's not," Huang Lu and Lin Xiao glanced at each other, and when they laughed, they still had a slight smugness, and their tone was relaxed: "But there are not many good days to fight, and during the New Year holiday, I still count on Qin Bailao to bring me something to eat from home." ”

Unlike other places, it is a lively scene when it comes to the New Year. Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen and many other cities with countless foreign populations have completely turned into empty cities as soon as the Chinese New Year arrives.

In addition to the bustling business district, the subway entrances and main roads, which become crowded during the rush hour, will be empty, and the countless small restaurants along the street are also closed with neat doors.

This is especially true of the community where Vantes is located.

The vast majority of people here are visitors from other places, and it is not yet time for the holiday, and many people have left one after another, and every day at the intersection of the village community, you can see a lot of people carrying large bags and waiting for the car to return to their hometowns. Several barbecue restaurants, noodle restaurants, and even vegetable markets in the community have set their closing dates early. It wasn't written directly on a piece of paper and hung up, but almost everyone who went in would have a few words with the boss on the topic.

When to go home, where is home, and when will you come back.

Before the time for the holidays of the major factories and companies, they had already packed up their things and left. Often, in the last few days, I can't find a place to eat, so I either burn it myself or have to go to the city.

Last year, it was okay, the things in the store were not too busy, Huang Lu went to the city supermarket early every day to buy vegetables, and Chen Su came to cook lunch and dinner. This year, it's ironclad, and according to how busy the store is now, eating may really become a big problem when the time comes.

If Chen Su is gone after the official holiday, it is estimated that it will be even more difficult.

"Didn't Yue Yue go back to his hometown before?" Lin Xiao suddenly thought of this stubble and said, "It's changed now?"

"Hmm. Huang Lu nodded and explained: "She originally planned to go home, but I heard from friends at home that the seven aunts and eight aunts over there were waiting to introduce her to someone, so scared that she ran away with the train overnight." It's easy to say, I made sense with my family, so I simply stayed here for the New Year this year and didn't go back. ”

"I see. Lin Xiao was surprised, then glanced at Huang Lu, and sighed: "I think I have a good relationship with Yue Yue, and I haven't been informed of these things, why did you know about it first?"

"That's nature. Huang Lu's tone was obviously proud, and the rhythm of his index finger tapping on the steering wheel was too brisk: "But I found it myself, according to her dog temper, it is estimated that she will take the initiative to explain honestly on the day of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve." This person is very good, he was scared by me last year, and he began to guard against me this year. ”

Lin Xiao was amused by his series of descriptions, and asked with some curiosity: "How do you see it?" Yue Yue's mood lately doesn't seem to be much different from before. ”

"A few days ago, I was still thinking about what to do to grab tickets all day long, and I heard it many times how long I was in the office that day, which shows how nervous she is. I haven't read it for the past two days, and I still listened to Chen Su say there that it was difficult to grab a ticket and how annoying it was to drive, and it was obvious that the itinerary had changed. I just asked a few casual questions, and sure enough, it was true. ”

"You're more attentive than I thought. ”

"It's okay, after all, when you work together, day and night, as long as you are careful, you can almost see any emotional changes. After Huang Lu finished speaking, he glanced meaningfully in Lin Xiao's direction, but the other party lowered his head and seriously opened the glass, as if he had lost his mind.

The car suddenly became quiet again, and the music had been turned off by Huang Lu when the two of them were talking just now, which made the car even quieter.

The heating fan whined towards the window, the window was overwhelmingly silvery white, the snow had long since stopped, and the cold wind mixed with scattered snowflakes beat against the window, occasionally making a whining sound or two.

"There are hardly any cars on the road today. Huang Lu cleared his throat, took the initiative to break the current quiet, and said: "The road was still jammed a few days ago, and there will be no cars today." ”

Lin Xiao followed his line of sight and looked out twice, echoing: "Well, there are still a few days before Chinese New Year's Eve, and it should be deserted later." ”

It's still the same absent-minded look.

Huang Lu opened his mouth, but still didn't continue to speak.

He didn't speak, and Lin Xiao didn't say anything.

The whirring wind outside was still continuing, Lin Xiao walked for a while, and only came back to his senses when he saw that many private buildings gradually appeared in his field of vision. She glanced at Huang Lu, who was so quiet next to her, and suddenly realized that the two of them were still silent like this.

When we were together before, it seemed that no matter what the occasion, there were endless words. Let's talk about Fantes, talk about the current e-commerce industry, and the trend of the trend...... And so on, even if it's just a conversation about the food in a fast food restaurant, there's no cold time.

The change seems to have started after the last joke of Xie Yiyi.

When the two get along, they are no longer as careless and relaxed as before. Instead, there is still a lot of silence.

I know the silence, but I don't know what to say.

The more you try to make a change, the easier it is to become constrained.

"It's here. Huang Lu said.

Lin Xiao came back to his senses from the state of fugue outside the world, mumbled, and then prepared to push the door and get out of the car.

"Ahem. Huang Lu cleared his throat, and Lin Xiao's movements suddenly paused slightly.

"What about you?" Huang Lu tapped his middle finger on the steering wheel twice, and finally asked, "I feel that you have been a little restless recently, is there something wrong?"

The lights in the car were not turned on, and for a while, only the breathing sound of the two people was heard spreading in the small space inside the car.

This is the first time that the two have talked about personal emotions from rambling topics, touching and even stepping into each other's private emotions.

"Probably...... I didn't sleep. Lin Xiao tugged at the corners of his mouth, and his smile was a little haggard: "It's winter, and I always can't sleep enough." ”

Huang Lu smiled, looked away, and found a new topic: "You really don't want to go back for the New Year?" Although you are busy this year, you must be busy, but you can't deliver goods during the Spring Festival, and I can handle the live broadcast and operation alone, so there is no need to force me to stay." ”

"Isn't it a double salary? ”

"You're too real, too. ”

Seeing Huang Lu's helpless look, Lin Xiao's mood rose a lot, thought about it, and said: "It's a pity, the traffic during the Spring Festival should be the best time, and the effect of the live broadcast will be greatly reduced." ”

"Tsk," Huang Lu glanced at her teasingly, and said, "If you want me to say, you are more like the boss of a start-up company." ”

"Huh?"

"The overwhelming amount of data and performance completely blinds you, and you can only see these things in your eyes. It is precisely because most industries will have holidays that the traffic will be high. If only some industries are on holiday, it is not of a national nature, and the traffic will not be high. There must be gains, after a year of hard work, it is good for everyone to take a vacation together, and the money is not enough. ”

"I can tell you're scolding me. ”

"The boss of a start-up company is still a curse? Isn't it a compliment that you have a fighting spirit and can bear hardships and stand hard work?"

“......”

Are you hard-working?

When Lin Xiao got out of the car, he kept thinking about this sentence in his mind.

The same thing, Chen Niannian also said this to her at the beginning. It is precisely her self-righteous "effort" and "struggle" that will affect others and eventually lead to tragedy.

"Beep-"

The piercing sound of the horn sounded, and then a huge and incomparable force came from his hand, forcibly dragging Lin Xiao back. Lin Xiao suddenly came back to her senses, and by the time she reacted, she was already half-leaning on Huang Lu.

As soon as the two of them got out of the car, there was also a car in front of them that was about to drive over and stop next to it, Lin Xiao was thinking about other things, so he didn't pay attention, and almost bumped into the car head-on.

When the two were in shock, the car in front of them also parked its position. Huang Lu's brows were twisted together, and he opened his mouth as if he was about to scold, but before he could say anything, he was stunned in place.

Cheng Yan took a woman he had never seen before and stepped out of the car.
