Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Same Lonely Man
Everything around was quiet, Li Chen walked down the stairs along the bend and down, and every time he passed through a floor, the voice-activated lights above his head would turn on.
From dark to light, only the crisp footsteps under his feet accompanied him, Li Chen felt that this feeling was very good, and gradually slowed down the pace of going downstairs, feeling the comfort of loneliness alone.
Every time he goes down to the next floor, Li Chen will take a look at whether there are any offices on this floor with lights on, thinking about which workaholic is working hard for the company.
After going down five or six floors in a row, Li Chen didn't find any lights, which is normal, it was already more than nine o'clock in the evening, even if there was overtime, he would have gone home early.
However, just when Li Chen went down to the twentieth floor, the man saw a bright beam of light hitting the white floor tiles in the corridor, and the man's eyes lit up, and he wanted to see who had not left yet.
Along the corridor, Li Chen walked directly to the brightly lit office, and through the glass partition, the man saw a shadow standing in front of the desk and looking down busily.
Li Chen frowned slightly, this person was Xia Yunxi.
Because he was a little tired from sitting for too long, Xia Yunxi deliberately stood up and straightened his waist, twisted his neck from time to time, and moved his muscles and bones.
Li Chen lowered his eyelids and hesitated for a moment, but still raised his hand and gently knocked on the glass door twice.
The sound was not loud, but because it was quiet in the dead of night, Xia Yunxi was still startled by this sudden sound, and looked up in a daze, it was Li Chen standing at the door.
The man was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, his hands were casually inserted in his trouser pockets on both sides, and he leaned lazily on the glass door, so he was as handsome as waiting for him to get out of school at the door of the classroom, but now Li Chen is more mature and stable.
"How are you?"
The woman was amazed, or rather surprised.
"Excuse me, scared you?"
Li Chen smiled faintly, and the answer was not what he asked.
"Oh, it's okay......! Didn't you leave after work?"
Xia Yunxi put down the work at hand and walked towards the man.
"Yes," Li Chen raised his eyebrows, "You're still working overtime?"
"Uh~ yes! I went home alone, and I didn't have anything to do, so I just worked overtime here!"
Xia Yunxi showed a wry smile.
"What about you, why did you leave?" I have to work overtime because I have no one to accompany me, and you family man won't have no one to accompany you!
"My employees work so hard, I'm the boss and I have to work hard!"
Li Chen teased casually.
"Hehe!" Xia Yunxi laughed dryly, remembering the gossip news he heard during the day, saying that Li Chen and his wife had quarreled, and moved to the hotel in a fit of anger.
Although Li Chen didn't answer himself directly, it seems to be true now.
"Would you like to take a break and have a drink?"
Li Chen thought that since they were all lonely and lonely people, they wouldn't be able to sleep when they went back to the hotel anyway, and since they were killing time wherever they stayed, they simply stayed here for a while.
"Oh,...... Okay, good!"
Xia Yunxi actually felt flattered, it had been a few days since he came to Binjiang Industry, in addition to normal work exchanges, this was the first time he and Li Chen had been alone.
The woman quickly took out all the best drinks in her office, "Are you drinking tea, or coffee?"
The woman paused, as if neither of these things were very good for sleep, so she said, "Or drink some orange juice, orange juice will help you sleep!"
"Let's just drink coffee!"
Li Chen replied casually, for himself, except for his daughter-in-law by his side, there is nothing that can help him sleep, so everything he drinks is the same.
"That's good! Coffee is coffee!"
Xia Yunxi was not verbose, and directly brewed two cups of coffee that he brought back from country M, and handed one of them to Li Chen.
"Taste, I brought it back from abroad!"
The woman looked at the man in front of her with a smile in her eyes. This man is even better looking than before.
"Well, it tastes good!" Li Chen took a sip lightly, "I remember that you didn't like coffee the most in the past, and it seems that you especially like to drink milk tea!"
Li Chen tried hard to recall some small things in the past, those small details that he thought he would never forget in his mind back then, but now he thinks that it is so difficult to look back.
Fortunately, Xia Yunxi likes to drink milk tea, but Li Chen is not mistaken.
Li Chen originally thought about it casually, and didn't take it to heart, but someone didn't think so.
"Yes!" A hint of surprise flashed across Xia Yunxi's face, Li Chen actually remembered that he liked to drink milk tea, "But that's what little girls like to drink, and I don't drink it anymore." ”
In the past few years, Yunxi has lived abroad in the summer, and often stays up late, so he has developed the habit of drinking coffee, and he has long stopped drinking milk tea.
"Little girls like to drink!" the man said to himself, and his little daughter-in-law liked to drink it.
Not only do I like to drink milk tea, but I also like to eat all kinds of desserts.
Thinking of Gong En'en, Li Chen couldn't help but feel a sense of loss in his heart, and quickly changed the topic, "How is it?
"Get used to it! Of course it's customary! The annual salary is high, the food is good, and the benefits are rich, of course I'm used to it!"
Xia Yunxi's words are not nonsense, Binjiang Industry is like this, as long as you are good enough, you will definitely not be able to treat you, which is also the main reason why Binjiang Industry can always retain talents.
"Ah! Hearing you say that, I'm relieved!
The man said half-jokingly.
"Of course, we are all waiting for Mr. Li to work hard to make money and give us bonuses!"
"Mutual friend, mutual friend, I have to rely on you to make more money and pay me a salary!"
"Hahaha!"
As he spoke, the two laughed together.
The laughter resounded throughout the floor in the silence of the night.
Gong Enen rushed to the downstairs of the company all the way, parked the car, and entered the hall on the first floor with a thermos cup.
The woman trotted to the elevator, couldn't wait to press the button to the top floor, waited for a few seconds, and found that the elevator had not responded, only to notice that the elevator was under maintenance.
Gong Eun has seen all the elevators on the first floor in a row, and they are all maintained!
Gong Eun Eun was so anxious that she stomped her feet on the spot, what should I do?
Looking at the staircase passage on the side, Gong Enen gritted his teeth, didn't think about it, and went directly up the stairs.
Thirty-three floors! For the first time, Gong Eun felt the feeling of climbing the stairs until his legs were weak.
The woman climbed five or six floors and rested on the spot for a while, and climbed nineteen floors intermittently.
Gong Eun looked at the number of twenty layers above his head, and gasped for breath.
"Gong Eun, come on!"
The woman cheered herself up and continued to climb up.
The closer he got to the twentieth floor, the more Gong Eun-eun could hear someone talking.
Gong Enen didn't expect it to be so late, except for Li Chen, there were still people working overtime.
When I reached the twentieth floor, I only heard bursts of hearty laughter melodiously, Gong En'en "chuckled" in her heart, this voice is so familiar, so kind!
