Chapter 35: Birthday Present

Xiao He lowered his head, and at a glance saw the black hair of the woman in front of him, under the three thousand hairs, there was the satin black pajamas, the top few buttons of the pajamas were not buttoned properly, which seemed to have some motives, and her white and round skin was faintly visible.

The visual impact of black and white was too strong, making him shake for a moment.

It didn't really matter, the woman leaning against him was bent over slightly, rummaging through something on the second floor of the refrigerator. As she bent over, the bodies of the two men pressed tighter.

"Do you eat onions?" she rummaged, her body swaying slightly with the movement of her hands.

Xiao He's thin lips moved slightly, and his eyes were dark and bottomless.

He stared at the thin waist in front of him, resisted the urge to pinch it, pursed his lips, and his voice was a little hoarse: "Eat." ”

After saying that, he quickly grabbed the cheese from the refrigerator and threw it on the flowing table, turned around and strode out of the kitchen.

Wen Yan's hand rummaging through things stopped, slowly closed the refrigerator, stared at the figure of the man leaving, and smiled like a cunning fox.

Xiao He didn't plan to go to the company today, but as soon as he finished breakfast, he received a call from his secretary, saying that there was a problem with the loan for the Nanhua seaside villa project, the procedures were not complete, and the bank would not lend.

The stakes are so high that the loan cannot be disbursed in a timely manner, which will affect a series of subsequent plans.

After listening to this, he went out without the slightest hesitation.

Wen Yan didn't hear the content of Secretary Xiao He's call, she was cleaning up the dishes, and when she saw him get up in a hurry, she just wanted to ask "What's wrong", but the person had already gone out.

She looked at his departing figure in amazement, and the moment the door closed, her expression immediately changed, and her expression gradually froze.

She put down the plate in her hand and pulled a piece out of her pocket.

It was a piece of plasticine, with an uneven surface, in the shape of a key.

She walked to the balcony and waited for a few minutes to see a black car driving out of the entrance of the complex.

The sun at nine o'clock in the morning in early autumn was just right and golden, but she only felt dazzling. She hid behind the curtains, her eyes down and she was silent for a long time, and finally as if she had made some important decision, she clenched the plasticine in her hand.

As soon as Xiao He arrived at the office, Secretary Lin walked in.

Without waiting for him to ask, the secretary began to report: "Mr. Xiao, the bank said that the financial statements we submitted only provided the balance sheet, profit and loss statement and statement of changes in financial position of the previous year, and the balance sheet and profit and loss statement of the current period were missing. Before submitting the information, I was sure that there was a balance sheet and income statement for the current period in the financial statements, but the bank clearly said that there was no, and I didn't know what went wrong......"

Xiao He pondered for a moment and waved his hand: "There is no point in thinking about this question now, go to the finance department and ask them to provide it again." ”

Secretary Lin hesitated and said, "I went to the finance department just now, and Mr. Li, the chief financial officer, happened to be on a business trip today......

Xiao He frowned unconsciously: "If he goes on a business trip, the entire department will strike?"

Secretary Lin pursed his lips and said, "Vice President Liu of the Finance Department said that he has no authority to ......"

Secretary Lin did not directly say that in the workplace, it is a common thing to watch people put on the dishes. It's normal for her to be the secretary of a vice president and the vice president of the finance department not to take her seriously. What's more, everyone knows that Vice President Liu of the Finance Department is obedient to Mr. Li, and Mr. Li is a close confidant of that person, so he naturally chooses to stand on that team.

Although Xiao He has outstanding ability, his identity is delicate, and in the Yuncheng Group, the attitude of the executives towards him is also quite subtle, after all, standing in the wrong line may greatly damage his future interests.

Xiao He was silent for a moment, and then made a phone call to go out.

Naturally, the call was to Mr. Li, the chief financial officer.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Li was busy apologizing over there, saying that it was his management negligence, and he immediately asked Vice President Liu to transfer the complete financial statements to Xiao He.

hung up the phone, Xiao He's brows were still frowning.

Secretary Lin breathed a sigh of relief: "Mr. Xiao, if we resubmit the financial report to the bank, there should be no problem." ”

Xiao He lowered his eyes slightly, and tapped his fingertips on the table, noncommittal.

“...... Is there anything else wrong?" Secretary Lin saw his expression, a little uncertain.

"It's okay, you go and arrange it. Xiao He waved his hand at her.

After Secretary Lin went out, Xiao He's expression was still condensed, his dark eyes were bottomless, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

The early autumn sun is very warm, and a large area of sunlight spills on the floor through the floor-to-ceiling windows, and the drifting dust is faintly visible, like a mischievous elf in autumn.

Wen Yan's forehead was covered with a thin layer of sweat, and her face was not very good, the sun fell on her face, and her skin was a little pale.

With her eyes closed, her brow furrowed as if she couldn't stand the daylight, she closed the curtains and headed for the study.

Xiao He, I'm sorry.

She meditated in her heart.

In the evening, as soon as Xiao He returned home, he smelled the aroma of food.

He was stunned, and when he walked to the kitchen, he saw a woman standing in front of the cooking table, wielding a spatula skillfully.

He stood quietly at the kitchen door for a few moments, never speaking.

It wasn't until Wen Yan turned his head to get something that he found Xiao He standing at the door.

"Why are you standing here and not talking, I'm scared to death!" she patted her chest and glared at him in disgust.

Xiao He didn't speak, looked at her silently for a few seconds, turned around and walked towards the bedroom.

He changed his clothes as usual and went to the study.

Half an hour later, there was a knock on the door of the study.

"It's time to eat. Wen Yan unscrewed the door, leaned against the door, and looked at him with a smile.

He looked up from the computer, and when he saw the person at the door, he was stunned, and a look of surprise flashed in his indifferent eyes.

Wen Yan at the door was wearing a red V-neck sleeveless dress, she had a plain face, her face was still flushed with moisture, and her sideburns were slightly wet, she should have just finished bathing.

Xiao He turned off the computer, got up and walked to her side, a faint scent of camellia mixed with the perfume on her body penetrated into his nose, and the smell was surprisingly good.

With a smile on his face, he took his wrist and walked towards the restaurant.

There was a warm yellow candlelight dancing in the dining room, which looked blurry and ambiguous in the dim light.

On the table are two lightly charred steaks, as well as delicate baked snails, creamy mushroom soup, a basket of croissants, and a bottle of red wine that has already been waken up.

Xiao He looked at her suspiciously.

Wen Yan stared at him with his hands on his cheeks, with soft affection in his eyes: "Today is my birthday." ”

He raised his eyes to look at her, in the flickering candlelight, Wen Yan's eyebrows were bent like a spring mountain, the autumn water cut pupils were shiny with a lustrous luster, his fair cheeks were dyed with warm color, and his face looked gentle and charming.

Knowing that she was lying, he didn't debunk it.

He stared at her for a long time before he said lightly, "Happy birthday." ”

"Thank you. She squinted and smiled slightly, like a delicate cat or a cunning fox, with one side of her eyebrows slightly raised, "Then can I ask for a birthday present?"

Xiao He didn't speak, and looked at her silently.

Wen Yan pursed her lips slightly, looking at him with bright eyes, her long eyelashes blinking, like a child who is coquettish with an adult and asks for candy.

After a while, he spoke lightly, and his voice was slightly deep: "Yes." ”

Two simple words, people can't tell whether he is happy or unhappy.

Wen Yan was like a child who succeeded in playing tricks, smiling squeamishly and contentedly: "This is what you said, don't play tricks." Okay, you're ready to eat. ”

Xiao He seemed to think that her childishness was a little cute, the corners of his lips hooked slightly, and he didn't speak again.

He was a little surprised by his good mood tonight, and accidentally drank too much.

Before you know it, the red wine in the wine bottle is almost empty.

He doesn't drink a lot of alcohol, the amount of alcohol is average, except for socializing, he rarely touches alcohol.

The candle flame was still jumping, and he looked up at the other side, feeling that his vision was a little blurry. He pinched his eyebrows, and then he came to his senses.

Wen Yan behind the candlelight, his face was obviously red, and his eyes, which were already like a ripple, were dyed with wine, and it seemed that the smoke and rain of three springs had been brewed, like a dream.

Being stared at by those eyes, Xiao He's heartbeat couldn't help but beat a few beats faster, and his body surged with a burst of heat.

As a man, he knew very well the cause of this heat.
