Chapter 10: Quiet Love (1)

"You're going to Shanghai too?" Gong Xue slowed down.

"Yes, are you very happy?" Ke Fan deliberately asked Gong Xue in a provocative tone.

"I was very happy to go to Shanghai, but the thought of being with you has dropped my happiness value by more than half......"

"Huh, so you still think of me, it seems that I am still a special existence for you!"

Gong Xue looked helpless, "Please be serious, okay?"

"Obey!" Ke Fan made an OK gesture to Gong Xue, "The ticket has been bought for you, tomorrow morning at 6 o'clock, you have to arrive at the station 1 hour early, don't oversleep!"

"Of course not, you see when I'm usually late for work!"

Ke Fan lowered his head, lightly touched the frame with his fingers, and glanced at his phone, "I checked the weather in Shanghai in the past few days, it seems to be raining, remember to bring an umbrella!" Ke Fan deliberately put his face close to Gong Xue's ear, and whispered: "But if you forget to bring an umbrella, I won't lend it to you, because I'm afraid that you will be even more inseparable from me......"

Gong Xue pushed Ke Fan away, ran a few steps to get rid of him, Ke Fan shouted behind him: "Lord Gong, don't be late at 6 o'clock tomorrow morning......"

Obviously he cared, but when he said it from Ke Fan's mouth, there was always a feeling of being underwhelmed, and gradually, Gong Xue also got used to Ke Fan's way of expression, like a big boy who hadn't grown up, silently caring about the people around him in his way.

The next day, they caught the scheduled high-speed train on time, Ke Fan and Gong Xue's seats were next to each other, and there was an aisle between Manager Huang and them......

I don't know how long it took, Ke Fan's voice came from Gong Xue's ears, "Wake up, I'm going to the station soon, wake up quickly......"

Gong Xue glanced at her phone sleepily, it was already 1 o'clock in the afternoon, the radio kept repeating the reminder of arriving at the station, the three of them packed up their things and got off the car one after the other, they didn't eat a little food from the morning to now, Gong Xue took out the bread that was originally intended for everyone for breakfast, and handed it to Manager Huang and Ke Fan, Manager Huang waved his hand, signaling to go to the store outside to eat, Ke Fan took it, and ate while walking, until the exit of the station, he didn't see the shadow of Mr. Di, Gong Xue couldn't help asking: " Manager Huang, where is Mr. Di meeting us?"

"Mr. Di will arrive at night, let's go find a good hotel first, and then go to Nanjing Road to see ......"

"Nanjing Road?" Gong Xue looked expectant, but was poured cold water by Ke Fan.

"If you can still be so excited after transferring the city on Nanjing Road today, I will call you sister in the future!"

Manager Huang said earnestly: "Xiaoxue, you don't know much about the workload of the market survey when you first came, and you will know it when you do the market survey a few more times...... Manager Huang looked down at Gong Xue's shoes, "Well, just wear flat shoes......"

Gong Xue raised her head and glanced at Ke Fan, "Call Sister ......"

Ke Fan pretended not to hear, raised his eyebrows, threw Gong Xue an inexplicable expression and walked away......

Taking the subway, looking at the hurried and crowded pedestrians, like a fast shot in a movie, at that moment Gong Xue suddenly remembered the choice she made when she graduated from college, if she had to come again, would she choose to come to such a city to struggle? Will she be as wasteful as she is now? All assumptions are fruitless expectations, and she will never know what will happen to her if she chooses another life......

In a trance, the subway arrived at the station, facing the flow of people, Gong Xue followed closely the steps of Manager Huang and Ke Fan, they became the closest people to Gong Xue in this city, a huge city, prosperous and dazzling, but for strangers like them, everything was too strange to feel the slightest temperature......

Walking out of the subway, a fried shop came into view, Ke Fan didn't say a word and pulled Gong Xue and Manager Huang and rushed over, as if the little milk dog smelled the meat buns, only to find that after entering the store, it was full of people, and there were takeaway brothers waiting in line to get the fried food. Gong Xue Ke Fan and the three of them sat down close to the air conditioning outlet, and after a while, the food they ordered was all served, maybe they were too hungry, and they also added an order until they left, Manager Huang was still reminiscing about the delicious fried food, saying that he wanted to recruit this store into the Ninghe project, Gong Xue and Ke Fan also joked that they would be able to eat authentic Shanghai fried fried at the door of their homes in the future......

After dinner, they booked 3 rooms in the express hotel not far from the subway entrance, put down their luggage, and took their backpacks to start their "long Nanjing Road" From a department store to another shopping center, from the first floor to the top floor, from clothing and footwear to catering facilities, from in-store and out-of-store art displays to promotional activities, they ran between various shopping malls, more than 8 o'clock in the evening, Mr. Di called Manager Huang to ask them about their current location, considering the time problem, Mr. Di rushed directly from the subway station to the hotel, and Manager Huang, Ke Fan, Gong Xue also ended the day's market survey work, ready to go back to the hotel to rest.

On the way back, Gong Xue was obviously physically exhausted, and some couldn't keep up with the steps of Manager Huang and Ke Fan, in order not to drag them back, Gong Xue gritted her teeth and insisted, Manager Huang answered a phone call, and unconsciously walked faster, Gong Xue Mou accelerated her trot with all her strength, muttering a beat in her mouth to cheer herself.

"It doesn't matter if you slow down......"

Gong Xue looked up and saw that it was Ke Fan not far in front of her, "It's okay, it's not very tired...... Gong Xue tried to pretend to be very relaxed.

"Give me your bag," Ke Fan walked over and reached for the backpack on Gong Xue's shoulder.

"No need, really no need, I ......can carry it on my back" Without waiting for Gong Xue to refuse, Ke Fan had already taken the bag in his hand.

Ke Fan took Gong Xue's bag and sighed: "Hey, the older young woman is really old, and her physical strength can't keep up......"

"Who are you talking about, the older young woman? You make it clear......" Provoked by Ke Fan, Gong Xue sped up a few steps slightly.

Ke Fan turned around and ran to chase Manager Huang, and Gong Xue also tried to take a big stride, but helplessly had two scales tied to her legs, and just a few centimeters off the ground, she fell straight down, and Gong Xue had to continue to chant silently and trot......

After trotting for a while, Gong Xue saw Manager Huang on the other side of the road chatting with Ke Fan with a cigarette in his mouth, Gong Xue accelerated and ran over, Manager Huang saw Gong Xue who was panting and catching up, pointed to the intersection in front and said: "After the intersection in front, it will be there immediately, hold on a little longer......"

As if seeing hope, Gong Xue kept reminding himself that he was already exhausted, and the hotel was not far ahead, which felt quite a taste of Wangmei quenching his thirst, and walked for about 20 minutes, at the crossroads, the façade of the hotel came into view, and the happiness at that moment was not comparable to that of Cats Eating Fish and Dogs Eating Meat Ultraman beating small monsters for Gong Xue.

Drinking alcohol will make people have fragmented memories, it turns out that excessive physical overdraft will also have such an effect, Gong Xue who woke up the next day can no longer remember how she went upstairs, and how she got to the room, and her memory only stays at the moment when she saw the hotel and felt quite happy......

In the morning, Gong Xue went downstairs to have breakfast, and happened to meet Mr. Di who came back from going out, Mr. Di, who was dressed in casual sports wear, looked extraordinarily energetic, and Mr. Di, who lowered his head and was concentrating on his mobile phone, hurriedly walked past Gong Xue, but he didn't notice her existence at all.

"Mr. Di is early!" Gong Xue greeted Mr. Di cautiously.

Mr. Di then turned his eyes away from his mobile phone, "Xiaoxue, early, go to breakfast?"

Gong Xue nodded.

"By the way, inform Manager Huang and Ke Fan that we will gather at the entrance of the hall at 9 o'clock. Mr. Di raised his hand and looked at his watch, "There is still 1 hour to eat, is it enough?"

"That's enough, Mr. Di. Aren't you going to have breakfast?"

"I still have a few documents to deal with, you go first!" As soon as he finished speaking, the elevator door opened, and Mr. Di stepped into the elevator with an arrow.

Between Manager Huang and Ke Fan, Gong Xue thought about it and decided to call Ke Fan, and after dialing the phone, the "beep" sound sounded for a long time, and Ke Fan asked in a tone that he didn't wake up: "What's wrong?"

"Mr. Di said let's meet in the hall at 9 o'clock......"

"Got it......" Without waiting for Gong Xue to finish speaking, Ke Fan decisively hung up the phone.

Within a few seconds, Gong Xue's phone call came again, and Ke Fan asked in an impatient tone, "What are you doing?"

"Remember to inform Manager Huang to assemble in the hall at 9 o'clock. ”

"Why don't you call him yourself?"

"I'm afraid of making him rest......"

Ke Fan cleared his throat, "Master Gong, you really treat you differently, are you afraid of arguing with Manager Huang, aren't you afraid of arguing with me?"

Gong Xue snickered, "Don't be afraid." After saying that, he immediately hung up the phone.

After breakfast, everyone gathered in the hall on time, today's itinerary is still Nanjing Road, but Nanjing East Road, a group of four of them began to travel in Shanghai's major commercial shopping centers, continuing yesterday's unfinished work, until more than one o'clock at noon, after lunch, they began to work separately, Manager Huang and Ke Fan went to Xujiahui, and Gong Xue followed Mr. Di to Huaihai Road.

This is Gong Xue's first time in Shanghai, all road traffic depends on Baidu maps, and Mr. Di seems to be very familiar with everything here, from the subway transfer route to the commercial projects in each place, every place, he will tell Gong Xue what to focus on, what to record, after a few shopping malls Gong Xue also began to become sensitive to important information, walked past a giant light box poster, a few days ago with (M) advertising company dinner suddenly flashed in Gong Xue's mind, Gong Xue glanced at Mr. Di who was walking in front, and walked a few steps to keep up。
