Chapter 10: The Arrival of the Admiral
He has seen a lot of good-looking people, and all kinds of types emerge in endlessly, but Min Xili makes him feel that he is fascinated by one more look. She's not the best-looking person I've ever known, but she's the most nostalgic of all. Looks account for a part of this, and she ignores her love for another part.
Xili looked directly at Qi Liqian, not knowing what he was doing, and then only heard his mosquito voice muttering: "Then you can also try to like me, I am much cuter than this city." ”
Siri just pretended not to hear it, and ignored it.
The two of them ate, Qi Liqian was about to leave, and Min Xili didn't send him, just read the unfinished book in the room. Qi Liqian looked at her at the door, and held back for a long time before saying: "Actually, I think I'm still good, we have known each other since childhood, do you want to let go of your prejudices to understand me, what if you like it?"
I have heard someone advise someone to drink and someone to see a doctor, but this is the first time I have heard someone persuade others to like themselves. Perseverance added a few words: "Although my mother has a big temper, don't worry, I will definitely be on your side!"
"I don't have to let go of my prejudices, I know you very well, you just feel unwilling to be here. And you know me well, so you should know that I won't like you like this. Ciri put down the book and wanted to roll her eyes at him.
"Indeed, compared to your ex-boyfriend, he is a piano genius, talented, gentle and considerate, and pleasing to the eye...... But I'm not bad-looking, and I don't think it's too bad, so I really don't think about it?"
"If you don't leave, don't want to see me next time. ”
Qi Liqian was not hurt by this sentence, but blindly felt that there was still hope, at least there was a next time, and he smiled indifferently and innocently: "Then I will ask you to dinner next time, in case you change your mind one day and like someone like me, I will be in the ward." ”
Ciri wanted to refute him, but found that he slipped away after saying this. It felt like a joke, and before the listener could laugh, the person who spoke suddenly left. I was bored and couldn't get angry, and finally I "hummed" and listened to a.
And Qi Liqian was very happy on the way back, and chatted with the driver: "Xili called me "Ah Li" just now. The driver didn't know what to say for a while, so he could only follow him with a few perfunctory laughs.
Although Pei Rui didn't show up, the people he sent were extremely efficient. The inheritance dispute case has been run by a professional team of lawyers with the lawyer team invited by Xili, and the trial will be held in the middle of next month, and the Rose Garden has been completely returned to her hands, in fact, nothing has been changed except the boss, and the travel company, although it has suffered serious losses, it must let it exist even if it continues to lose money.
Xili is extremely glad that he has been "undercover" in the company for a period of time and promoted a few good people, and now half of the company is newcomers, but the atmosphere is very different from before.
Another night of overtime, and as soon as I returned to the Rose Garden, I received a message from the Admiral.
"Have you slept, do you have time to make an appointment tomorrow?"
Ciri felt that he was so tired that he had no strength to type, so he took off his high heels and came to the study in slippers, and called the Admiral: "Hey. ”
"You haven't slept yet. The Admiral's voice was awake and surprised on the other end of the line.
Ciri coquettishly told her: "I've been so busy lately, I go to bed early before two o'clock." ”
"Well, you know it's not good to be a boss, right?" the Admiral laughed at her.
"yes, I never knew what overtime was. Then he complained, "You went abroad when you were needed!" Do you say you are deliberately lazy?"
"There's really no way, who made Jiang Yu dislike to participate in any messy meeting, let me go through the motions this time. As soon as I get off the plane, I'll be guilty of it. The Admiral said.
Ciri covered his mouth and yawned, leaning on the arm of the chair: "Then you can come to me tomorrow at noon, I'm so tired, I want to sleep lazily tomorrow." ”
"Okay, then you can get busy and rest early. ”
I hung up the phone and looked at the time, it was already half past one, and after turning on the computer, I sent the things I had changed to Pei Rui by email, and then attached a message: "This is a plan I made about Qinghe Tourism Company, can you take a look at it?"
After a few minutes, I received a reply from Pei Rui: "Go to sleep, I'll send you after I change it." ”
Xili typed "thank you" in the input box, but she didn't send it for a long time, she knew that Pei Rui didn't want her to be too polite. After deleting those two words, he replied, "Okay, good night." ”
As soon as it was shown that the delivery was successful, I received a reply from Pei Rui, with only two words "good night".
Xili poured himself a glass of water and drank a few sips, turned off the email with a strong spirit, opened the work interface, and suddenly felt that he was a bit like his mother at that time, he was always noisy when he was a child, and he didn't sleep at night, and her mother Xia Yi held her like this while coaxing her to work.
For the night, Min Xili has almost no memory of Min Da and coaxing himself to sleep, the only thing that is deep in his memory is that he loses his temper and likes to drop things, followed by bad words and hateful faces.
Ciri stripped himself from the memories of his unhappy family and got to work seriously. She was planning to take some time out to study a business-related major, although she didn't like it. Pei Rui is a good teacher, but the tuition is too expensive for her to pay.
The blank staves at hand were used by her to type drafts. And those drafts were used by her to compose the music. It looks criss-crossed and easily incomprehensible. A mess of badness.
Ciri didn't sleep as long as she thought she wanted the next day, and she had that nightmare, but she seemed to get used to it. After breakfast, I took some refreshing medicine, and then held a video conference for the company, and even walked around the rose garden after the end, folded a few white peony plants that bloomed just right, and returned to the small yard to prune the flowers and insert bottles.
After that, she boiled black tea, and played her cello, which looked a little old, in the courtyard, squeaked like a staircase that had been too old for a long time, and suddenly someone walked slowly, and every step was as careful as walking on thin ice.
Before the Admiral entered the courtyard, he heard the sound of the piano, and Siri used to practice in their small apartment, and many people knew that there lived a beautiful oriental music girl in that building, who was neither enthusiastic nor indifferent, but her music was very demagogic, like the magic flute of the ancient Indians who controlled the poisonous snake, leading people quietly to the abyss.
The Admiral sat next to her, listened patiently to her piano sound, and applauded her at the end of the song: "Why haven't I heard this song before?"
Ciri stood up and put the piano into the case on the table, took a cup for her and poured tea: "I just walked around the yard and thought about it, but it doesn't make a tune. ”
"And the heart of the song, it seems that you can handle the company's affairs. The Admiral drank his tea, and saw that there was a little knock in the groove on the side of her lyre, and asked, "Didn't you say you were going to throw this piano away?
"I only took this instrument with me when I left Yecheng, and now that I have come back, I feel that I should bring him back with me. Ciri said.
Admiral thought of a brilliant adjective: "Understood, so the other pianos are just pianos, and this piano is actually your pet." ”
