Along the way, Zeng Yi kept urging the driver, hoping to rush back to the company before twelve o'clock, and the driver had a gentle smile on his face from beginning to end, and tried to speed up as much as possible under the premise of ensuring safety.

Fifteen minutes later, the car stopped in the parking lot of the Xu Group, but normally, it would take 25 minutes to drive from the place where Zeng Yi bought clothes to the Xu Group, even if the speed remained at 80 yards, and there was no red light on the way.

Zeng Yi waited for the car to stop, immediately took out a hundred-yuan bill from his pocket and threw it on the seat, then quickly lifted his clothes, opened the car door and prepared to get out of the car. Time waits for no one, and he must reach the twenty-eighth floor before twelve o'clock.

"Wait, lad. ”

At the moment when Zeng Yi landed with one foot, the driver's shout came from behind, Zeng Yi withdrew his foot and asked with a frown: "What? Isn't a hundred yuan enough?"

Zeng Yi thought that he had run into the driver of the rip-off again, so his tone was not very friendly.

The driver smiled when he heard this, knowing that he had misunderstood him, so he explained: "No, no, young man, you misunderstood me, I will give you a free ride today." ”

Zeng Yi was stunned when he heard this, and gave me it for free? What do you mean?

"Why?" Zeng Yi asked.

"You can take money to save a few lost souls, can't I send a righteous person for free?" the driver smiled gently at Zeng Yi.

Zeng Yi secretly thought in his heart that I had misunderstood him, presumably he was also at the scene when he punished a few thieves just now, and was moved by his own behavior, so he said that he would give himself away for free. Zeng Yi suddenly got embarrassed, "I'm sorry, I thought I met the driver who killed the customer, I think it's better to forget it, it's not easy for you." ”

Zeng Yi said that he was about to get out of the car, but the driver stretched out his hand and grabbed himself, but the position of the grasp was quite tricky, it was on his own piping bone, Zeng Yi was startled and quickly shook his shoulder and then used his strength to send it forward, and the driver's hand was immediately shaken off by himself.

Zeng Yi turned his head and looked at the taxi driver again. The driver is about fifty years old, with a gentle face, no sharp and murderous in his eyes, and no difference in his whole body, just like an ordinary person. Although his appearance looked no different from that of an ordinary taxi driver, Zeng Yi had reason to believe that he was not a mortal, and it could be seen that he was a master just by grabbing himself, and he was a master among masters, because Zeng Yi felt that he didn't use much strength when he grabbed himself. Usually, if a person's lute bone is caught by others with all their might, the possibility of escape is almost zero, and he will not get rid of it so easily. It's just that Zeng Yi didn't understand why the driver suddenly made such a move on himself?

"What do you mean?" Zeng Yi said slowly to the driver.

When the driver heard this, he immediately said: "I just saw that you were going to get out of the car, and I went to pull you in a hurry, so please don't be surprised!"

"Is it?" Of course Zeng Yi didn't believe his explanation, ordinary people would only pull their arms if they wanted to pull others, instead of grabbing the pipa bone, the accuracy of the technique and the precision of the strength could not be explained by the two sons of urgency.

The driver couldn't help laughing when he saw the suspicion on his face, "Young man, I remember that you are in a hurry, and if you don't leave, I'm afraid you'll be late." ”

Zeng Yi then remembered that the time was almost twelve o'clock, although he knew in his heart that he was changing the topic, but he didn't have time to talk to him anymore, and besides, looking at his expression, he didn't seem to have any malice towards him, not to mention that he was not injured, so Zeng Yi got out of the car and walked towards the company after looking at it twice.

The driver looked at Zeng Yi's back and nodded with a smile, his eyes showed appreciation, and he lowered his head and muttered to himself, "Zeng Yi, we will meet again", and then started the car and drove away from the parking lot.

Zeng Yi had just entered the door of the company, but Xu Zhiqing had already walked out, so he said to Xu Zhiqing guiltily: "Mr. Xu, I'm sorry, I'm late to come back today." ”

Xu Zhiqing replied with a smile that it didn't matter, and then saw the clothes in Zeng Yi's hand, so she asked with a smile, "Did you go out to buy clothes?"

"Well, aren't I going to accompany you to the banquet today? I don't have any clothes that I can get my hands on, and the set you gave me can't be worn every day, so I ran out and bought a few pieces, I can't embarrass you!" Although Zeng Yi has begun to call Xu Zhiqing Zhiqing in private, he still respectfully calls Xu Zhiqing President Xu in public, which is a matter of principle.

When Xu Zhiqing heard that he ran out to buy clothes for tonight's banquet so as not to lose face, she was a little moved in her heart at the moment, and a warm current swayed in her heart, which was given this feeling by a man other than Xu Zecheng.

"Can you ask me to accompany you to buy clothes, why do you go shopping alone?" Xu Zhiqing lowered her head and whispered to blame Zeng Yi, at this time she was like a little woman in love.

Xu Zhiqing immediately took the clothes in Zeng Yi's hand and looked at them, and felt that the style and color were not bad, so she nodded to Zeng Yi and said: "Well, although it is a little worse than the clothes I gave you, it is not bad, with your little salary and you still buy such expensive clothes, I doubt that you went to rob it, and I will reimburse you for how much." ”

Xu Zhiqing originally had good intentions, and Zeng Yi was usually very thrifty, but now seeing that Zeng Yi spent a lot of money to buy clothes in order to accompany him to the banquet, she felt that she couldn't go, so she wanted to bear the expenses herself, and she felt that the relationship between herself and Zeng Yi was not bad, so she said a joke by the way. But her words inadvertently aroused Zeng Yi's disgust and made Zeng Yi feel that his self-esteem had been hurt. Zeng Yi felt that she looked down on herself and put a rich man on the shelf in front of her.

The corners of Zeng Yi's originally raised mouth disappeared without a trace immediately after Xu Zhi's words were finished, and then replaced with a serious face, "Mr. Xu, I appreciate your kindness, but I can still afford to spend this money." After that, he retrieved the clothes from Xu Zhiqing's hand and said, "Mr. Xu, I'll send you to the cafeteria." ”

Xu Zhiqing felt that the taste in his words was wrong, so she raised her head and glanced at him, but she didn't see Zeng Yi's habitual smile, but a very serious attitude, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, and then carefully recalled her words and his words, only to realize that it may be his own words that stimulated him and made him feel hurt his self-esteem.

"Zeng Yi, I'm sorry! I didn't mean that, you misunderstood me. Xu Zhiqing was a little at a loss at the moment, and she didn't know how to dispel the misunderstanding in Zeng Yi's heart.

"It's okay! I'm used to being looked down upon anyway. Zeng Yi showed a wry smile, this society is really a money-worshipping society, but it is ridiculous that I thought Xu Zhiqing was different from others.

Listening to Zeng Yi's tone, Xu Zhiqing felt uncomfortable and a little aggrieved, just because of his casual joke Zeng Yi got angry, did he really treat me as a friend? I admit that I didn't think about it in my head, but can't you be a big man to be generous? Thinking of this, Xu Zhiqing's eyes gradually gathered a layer of mist, and then turned into teardrops that slipped from the corners of her eyes, but she still stubbornly lowered her head, unwilling to let her tears be seen by Zeng Yi.

After Zeng Yi finished speaking, he thought for a while, thinking that he was making a bit of a fuss, just making a fuss about his emotions, is this a quality that a man should have? Alas! Forget it, it is said that women have long hair and short knowledge, so why should I be like her?

After going through these things in his mind, Zeng Yi immediately returned to his previous appearance, the corners of his mouth rose up again to look at Xu Zhiqing, and was about to go to the cafeteria to eat after making a joke with her, but he found that Xu Zhiqing lowered her head and was silent, and it seemed that water droplets had slipped from her face to the ground.

She actually cried! Zeng Yi's head immediately reacted, looked up and looked around, fortunately no employees came over, otherwise this matter would have been rumored in the company in the afternoon. At this time, it was not that Xu Zhiqing was at a loss, but that Zeng Yi felt that he didn't know what to do.

Zeng Yi hurriedly took out a tissue from his pocket and handed it to Xu Zhiqing, and stammered, "That。。。。。。 Mr. Xu... We're standing in front of the company. ”

Xu Zhiqing didn't look up, but just took the tissue from Zeng Yi's hand to wipe away her tears, threw the tissue on the ground and stomped on it, raised her head and glanced at Zeng Yi before walking towards the cafeteria alone.

This result made Zeng Yi feel a little cryless without tears, what kind of logic is this? It seems that I am the victim, right? But why does she look more like a victim than me?

Zeng Yi shook his head and smiled bitterly, then chased after Xu Zhiqing, and said secretly in his heart: "It seems that being a bodyguard next to a woman is not a wise choice, especially a childish woman." ”

When she arrived at the cafeteria, Xu Zhiqing was already sitting at the dining table, holding a fork on a small fish on the plate, and muttering something in her mouth, and only heard what she was saying when Zeng Yi approached.

"Death Zeng Yi stinks Zeng Yi, I will kill you, make me shed tears, make me not in a good mood, you are not a man, I will kill you, I will fork and fork. She thought that Xiaoyu was Zeng Yi venting her hatred, and the poor Xiaoyu had been struck by her fork at the moment and turned into a mess of meat.

Zeng Yi smiled helplessly, then sat down opposite her and said, "Alas, Mr. Xu is in such a good mood? After Zeng Yi finished speaking, he picked up the fork and forked it on the little fish's body.

Xu Zhiqing laughed out loud at him, then snatched the fork from Zeng Yi's hand, and whispered: "The little fish are so pitiful, not to mention being eaten if they are killed, you still want to fork it now, it's cruel!"

Zeng Yi really wanted to die on the table at this moment. Am I cruel? Who just forked so the little fish?

"Yes, yes, I'm cruel! Mr. Xu is a compassionate person!" Zeng Yi finished laughing and glanced at the fish paste on her plate.

Xu Zhiqing followed his gaze to look at his plate, and when she found that the small fish on the plate had been forked by herself, her pretty face immediately turned red, and she whispered to Zeng Yi: "You are not allowed to look at it!"

"Okay, don't look at it, I'll eat. ”

Zeng Yi immediately retrieved the fork from her hand and began to feast, Xu Zhiqing saw that he no longer looked at his plate, so she also began to bow her head to eat, but she suddenly seemed to remember something, and said to Zeng Yi: "I was forking you just now, not a small fish!" After finishing speaking, she continued to lower her head to eat, but her shaking shoulders told Zeng Yi that she was smiling happily at the moment.

Zeng Yi felt very entangled in his heart at the moment, and he didn't know what kind of relationship he was getting along with Xu Zhiqing now. It's not like that, there's no feeling at all. Colleagues? Yes, but they haven't worked together at all. Friends? It should be, but it seems to go a little deeper. Lovers?。。。。。。。。。

When these three words appeared in Zeng Yi's mind, Zeng Yi immediately slapped himself hard in his mind. I'm telling you to be cranky, I'm still a lover? I haven't checked much about refining people.

After eating, Zeng Yi sent Xu Zhiqing back to the office, because there were still two hours left in the working time. So Xu Zhiqing lay on the sofa to rest, while Zeng Yi went downstairs to chat with Liu Zhen.

The afternoon was spent chatting with Liu Zhen, during which he also talked to Liu Zhen about the taxi driver, but Liu Zhen just smiled and did not express any opinion on this matter, but just told Zeng Yi that there were many hidden people in Canghai, and asked him to pay more attention when he went out alone in the future. Zeng Yi vaguely felt that there was something interesting in his words, but since he didn't know what he said, it was inconvenient for him to ask.

At 4:50 in the afternoon, after changing into his newly bought clothes in Liu Zhen's office, he went up to the twenty-eighth floor, and then went downstairs with Xu Zhiqing to get into the car and set off for the Pearl Hotel ----- the venue of tonight's banquet
