Chapter VIII

Liu Zhibin's farewell banquet for Lin Junnan was arranged at the seaside resort in Dameisha. For this reason, Liu Zhibin specially arranged a business car and pulled seven or eight people, all of whom were colleagues who had a good relationship with Lin Junnan. Yuhong is a regular visitor to this resort, and several staff training or team-building activities are arranged here every year, and both parties know each other well.

Qin Yueling, the manager of the resort's reception department, is a dignified and elegant woman, and the young people of Yuhong call her "Sister Qin", and Lin Junnan is no exception.

When the business car arrived, Qin Yueling was already standing at the door of the resort to greet everyone.

"Mr. Liu, welcome!" Qin Yueling greeted Liu Zhibin with a polite smile.

"I'm sorry for you, Manager Qin, please arrange for two people to help me move the box of wine in the trunk in. Liu Zhibin said.

"Okay. Please, the dish is ready to your request!"

Liu Zhibin led Lin Junnan and everyone into the reserved box, pulled Lin Junnan to his side when he entered the door, pointed to the seat on the right side of the main seat and said, "Junnan, you sit here tonight!" After that, he commanded the others to sit down one by one. After everyone was seated, he kept his standing position, cleared his throat, and said:

"Today, we don't have any job ranks, we only rank according to age, and we are all brothers. I'm older here, if you don't see the outside, you will treat me as my eldest brother! We have worked together in Yuhong for many years, the cooperation is very pleasant, I am very grateful for everyone's contribution to Yuhong! Today, Junnan is going to leave Yuhong for his own reasons, I really can't persuade him to stay, in desperation, please come here to serve him together! I hope Junnan can always remember the days in Yuhong, no matter where you go in the future, don't forget Yuhong's brother!"

Liu Zhibin said, and opened a packing carton placed in the corner of the wall with his own hands, which he had just asked Qin Yueling to let people move in from the car, and there was a whole box of precious liquor inside. He took out two bottles, opened the wine bottles, and said with feeling, "This wine was given by a friend ten years ago, and I haven't had a chance to drink it, not because I am reluctant, but I can't find the right atmosphere, and it is very valuable now! Last time, Zhao Dongliang of the pangolin bid 5,000 bottles, and I didn't sell it to him......

Liu Zhibin first poured a full cup in front of Lin Junnan, and then poured wine for everyone next to each other, "Today I can say ahead, except for Junnan, everyone here must be drunk before resting! Otherwise, I'm sorry for this good wine!"

Lin Junnan understood what Liu Zhibin meant and knew that the latter was protecting him. He drank the smallest amount of alcohol among Yuhong's colleagues, but in the past, as long as he drank with Liu Zhibin, he was often forced to drink until he fell down. Liu Zhibin suddenly took such care of him tonight, which made him feel an indescribable gratitude and sourness in his heart.

Liu Zhibin picked up his wine glass and said to Lin Junnan very solemnly: "Junnan, in order to thank you for your contribution to Yuhong, please allow me to express my heartfelt respect to you - I will do it, you just need to mean it." With that, he touched the wine glass with Lin Junnan and drank it all. Lin Junnan didn't think about it, and then killed it in one bite......

After Liu Zhibin and Lin Junnan toasted three times in a row, he sighed with a frustrated face: "Alas, Junnan, I really feel sorry for you! Your departure is really unacceptable to me!"

No matter what path I Lin Junnan chooses in the future, I will always regard you as my most respected teacher and best friend!"

Liu Zhibin picked up the wine glass with his left hand, wrapped his right arm around Lin Junnan's shoulder, and said: "Junnan, life is like a roller coaster, there are peaks and valleys, but you have to believe that no matter where you are at the moment, it is only temporary." ”

……

They were high until more than ten o'clock in the night, and in the end, except for Liu Zhibin and Lin Junnan, they were basically drunk. Liu Zhibin called Qin Yueling to his side, instructed her to prepare a few rooms for a few guys who couldn't move, let them spend the night at the resort, and called the driver himself, and asked the driver to drive him and Lin Junnan home.

It was already past twelve o'clock when Lin Junnan arrived home.

Sun Kai and Sissi's room door was closed, and they couldn't hear a sound, so they must have both fallen asleep.

The moonlight outside the window splashes onto the living room floor tiles, casting mottled patterns on the window screens, occasionally fluttering in the wind, creating a quiet and serene space.

Lin Junnan felt very tired. From the moment he left the resort, he was tormented repeatedly by a certain feeling of relief and entanglement. He didn't turn on the light, but walked over to the couch and sat down heavily. In the dim light, he saw the discarded books and remote control and other miscellaneous items on the coffee table, which he would never let go of in the past, but today, he was too lazy to move.

He sat bored for more than ten minutes, repeatedly hesitating whether he should take a shower first, and finally because he was sleepy, he decided to be lazy and go directly to the room to sleep.

Just as Lin Junnan was about to walk into his bedroom, he heard the sound of the key turning in the keyhole from behind him, and he turned around in surprise. I saw the door open, and Sun Kai and Sissi crept in one after the other. Because the room was dark, the two of them were startled by Lin Junnan's shadow at the same time.

"Who?!" Sun Kai roared. At the same time, Sissi screamed and hid behind him.

"What's all the fuss?!, when I'm a thief?" Lin Junnan said angrily. He didn't expect these two people to secretly play outside until midnight!

Sun Kai turned on the light and looked at Lin Junnan embarrassedly: "We went to see a movie." ”

Lin Junnan hummed and turned to enter the house. After closing the door, he paused slightly, pretending to be fine, "I thought you were all asleep." Today, I had dinner at my company, and I was so tired! I went to sleep first!"

Closing the door, Lin Junnan took off his clothes and lay on the bed, but he couldn't sleep for a long time, and the original strong sleepiness was unexpectedly disturbed by Sun Kai and Sissi's return to the night!

Although Sissi kept an equal distance from him and Sun Kai, in his impression, she never went out with Sun Kai alone until midnight without saying hello to him.

Thinking of his current situation, Lin Junnan's heart was even more sour......

At noon the next day, Sissi came back from work as usual and found Lin Junnan sitting alone in the living room wearing a T-shirt and shorts watching TV.

"Hmm. Lin Junnan responded.

Qian Qian glanced at Lin Junnan's bedroom, it was so messy that she couldn't bear to see, she went into the kitchen again to look, and there was no change in the cold pot and cold stove. She felt very abnormal, but it was not good to ask him directly, so she thoughtfully walked into her room, changed into a set of casual clothes, and came out to sit next to Lin Junnan.

"You haven't eaten yet, have you?" asked Sissi.

"Not hungry. ”

"Why didn't you go to work today?"

"I'm quitting!" Lin Junnan said lightly.

"Huh?!, you're quitting?" Sissi's eyes widened in surprise, "Why?"

Lin Junnan threw the remote control in his hand on the coffee table, leaned on the back of the sofa, and looked indifferent, "No why, I just don't want to do it." ”

Sissi stared at Lin Junnan tightly, trying to read something from his expression. She really caught a fleeting hint of sadness in his eyes. She didn't ask any more, was silent for a moment, and then went back to her room, where she came out with two more things in her handβ€”a loaf of bread and a carton of milk.

"It's almost a little bit, how can you do it without eating something?" she put the bread and milk in Lin Junnan's hands.

Lin Junnan smiled bitterly, grabbed the bread and took a big bite.

Qian Qian looked at Lin Junnan's indecent eating appearance and laughed. She secretly thought: Isn't this guy jealous when he saw me go out to watch a movie with Sun Kai last night? So, she leaned over to him and said casually: "I watched that movie last night! What is it all about! I have long wanted to come back, and Sun Kai can really sit still!"

Lin Junnan knew that Qian Qian was deliberately explaining to him what happened last night, and seemed to be affirming that she did not have a deeper relationship with Sun Kai. What a thoughtful girl!

"Sissi, can you stay with me for a few days? I want to go out for a walk. ”

"This ......," Sissi hesitated, "well, I just have a few days off to spare." Where are we going?"

"Let's go to Xichong!" Lin Junnan said without thinking.

"Xichong?!That's great!" Sissi almost jumped up from the couch, "I've long wanted to take a trip that I can just go, carrying a bag and facing the sea...... Hey, tomorrow is the weekend, why don't we go in the afternoon? I'll call the company right now and ask the boss for half a day's leave. ”

"Okay! Let's go!" Lin Junnan also seemed to be in spirit.

Suddenly, Sissi seemed to remember something and said, "By the way, don't you ask Sun Kai?"

Lin Junnan pretended to be angry and said, "I'm really going to be jealous if you mention him again!"

"Okay, okay, let's leave him alone, I'll go in and pack my things!" Qian Qian playfully grimaced at Lin Junnan and staggered into her room humming a tune.

Every time Sissi used to go to the beach, she went to Xiaomeisha, where she didn't feel any natural imprints except for the crowded heads on the beach. She once heard from a colleague about Sai Chung in South Australia, a pristine place to escape the hustle and bustle of the city, relax and enjoy a life of indulgence.

Perhaps due to traffic reasons, the late development of Sai Chung, coupled with the protection of natural ecology, South Australia has rarely been developed and beautified on a large scale, so it is precisely the most primitive and natural style and charm that is shown to visitors here. Along the southern tip of the Dapeng Peninsula, the coast is lined with blue and transparent waters, and the waves are rushing in rows and waves, and walking barefoot on the beach feels so soft and delicate between your toes that it seems like your entire ankle will sink into the sand...... In Xi Chung, you can be woken up by the birds outside the window in the morning, and you can fall asleep at night with the chirping of insects and frogs, there is no noise, no noise, lying on the beach by the sea, you can listen to the natural harmony......

Lin Junnan came to Xichong two years ago with the tour team organized by Yuhong Company, when he stood on the beach, facing the vast sea and sky scenery excited, he put his hands around his mouth in the shape of a trumpet, and shouted wildly towards the sea, that is really called an indulgence...... Since then, due to work tensions, especially after leading the team to develop the "Red Shield" system, he has not been able to realize his wish to revisit Xichong, although it is only an hour's drive.

Today, Lin Junnan finally set foot on the Nanao Peninsula again, and he is still accompanied by his long-cherished Sissi. His heart was no longer entangled, because he felt that God had opened another window for him while closing one door.
