Chapter Ninety-Three: Resoluteness
The street lamps on both sides are dim yellow, and the silhouette is blurred in the car window glass. Cheng Wei closed his eyes for a while, then lowered the window, took out a cigarette and lit it.
Zhou He sat with his back straight from beginning to end, without looking back.
When the driver stopped the car, she opened the door and got out of the car, still politely thanking Cheng Wei.
Cheng Wei's face was blurred in the smoke, and he just nodded slightly.
The car drove away quickly, and Zhou merged into the community. Instead, he stood on the side of the road and stopped the car again.
Yu Pengcheng finished talking about business on the third day, Zhou He stayed up late and worked overtime to deal with things, asked Meng Shan for a day off, and took Yu Pengcheng to visit Kyoto.
She's never been out here since she's been here, and she's not familiar with the nearby attractions that aren't very well-known. Finally, I called Xu Yuanning and made a simple travel guide.
Although they are not very familiar with people, because Yu Pengcheng did not have any transgressions, the two got along happily. The two went to visit the attractions at noon in the morning, and Yu Pengcheng wanted to buy some special products to bring back in the afternoon, so Zhou He accompanied him to the shopping mall.
Yu Pengcheng was not in a hurry to buy souvenirs, saying that his sister's birthday was coming soon, and he planned to buy her a birthday gift, and asked Zhou He to help choose it.
Zhou Ji didn't know what his sister liked, so after asking, he accompanied him to see small jewelry such as bracelets.
Yu Pengcheng, like most men, is not good at picking gifts. Zhou He saw a more suitable one and asked him. Finally, buy a crystal bracelet.
He is quite generous, the price is not cheap, he directly let the shopping guide wrap up.
By the time everything was purchased, it was already the beginning of the lights outside. The two went upstairs to the western restaurant for dinner. Talking about some ordinary things and things at work.
Yu Pengcheng went to the bathroom halfway, and Zhou He called the waiter to pay the bill. He was on a plane ticket for tomorrow morning, and he bought a lot of things, so Zhou He sent him back to the hotel.
When she was about to leave later, Yu Pengcheng took out the bracelet she had picked for him. said: "Small gifts, don't dislike them." ”
Zhou He didn't expect this bracelet to be given to her, she was stunned for a moment, and then said, "I'm sorry Mr. Yu, it's too expensive for me to accept." ”
Yu Pengcheng naturally knew what she was thinking, and said: "I don't mean anything else, I came here to trouble you a lot this time, which is a little bit of caution on my part." ”
Zhou He was willing to accept it, smiled, and said, "Didn't you say that you were friends? You're welcome, really. ”
She insisted on refusing to accept it from Peng Cheng, probably because she was afraid that she would avoid him in the future, so she didn't insist and put the bracelet away. Let her call him when she goes back to Yucheng in the future, and he will take her to eat delicious food.
He is very good at driving the atmosphere, obviously quite embarrassed, and he was immediately brought over.
Zhou He smiled and agreed, said a few words, and apologized that he would go to the company tomorrow morning and couldn't send him to the airport, so he left.
got into the taxi and couldn't see Yu Pengcheng's figure, so she breathed a sigh of relief.
She got out of the car and just walked to the community when Shu Hua called. talked about Yu Pengcheng's business trip to Kyoto. Zhou He then told her that she had taken him around and had just returned home.
Shu Hua was excited, and immediately asked her what she thought of Yu Pengcheng. She was much more anxious than she was.
Zhou He was a little helpless, saying that it was good to be friends.
Shu Hua was not satisfied with this answer, and said that Yu Pengcheng was good. In the end, I was afraid that Zhou He would be forced to be anxious, and said that it was good to get along with more friends.
Zhou Hebian got into the elevator while talking to her, diverted the topic, and asked when she and Senior Brother Qiu planned to get married.
Shu Hua shyly said that Senior Brother Qiu's parents would come to Yucheng this month to see the house and discuss the date of marriage. She was sorrowful when she said this. Because of her gambler father. I'm afraid he'll make some kind of trouble again.
Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and although Shu Hua's younger brother has graduated, he still needs her support from time to time.
There was such a burden on her family, and she was worried that Senior Brother Qiu's parents would not agree if they knew. Who wants to make their son more stressed later on?
Zhou He couldn't help it, and he couldn't find comfort. I can only let her relax and don't think about it. As long as Senior Brother Qiu doesn't care, he will hide it from his parents first.
Now it can only be like this. Shu Hua nodded on the other end of the phone, knowing that Zhou Heai would be home in the elevator soon, so he asked her to rest early, and then hung up the phone.
The corridor was quiet, Zhou He walked to the door, and was about to take out the key to open the door, when the sound of the door opening came from the opposite side.
She subconsciously turned her head and faced the familiar face of Shang Cheng Wei.
She couldn't help but be stunned. Before he could ask, Cheng Wei raised his eyebrows and said lazily: "I just moved here today, it's a coincidence, just get off work?"
He is like this, but he can't tell whether it is a real coincidence or a fake coincidence.
Zhou He remembered that he asked the driver to send her to the door of another community last night, and he didn't say a word, nodded slightly, took out the key, opened the door and entered the house.
She didn't know if Cheng Wei was deliberate, so she closed the door and leaned against the wall without moving for a while.
There are four families on the floor where she lives, the other two are said to be an engineer and the other is a family of three. As for the house opposite, she hadn't seen anyone since she came. Naturally, nothing is clear. I didn't expect it to be Cheng Wei.
Since it was his house, it was his business how he wanted to live there. Zhou He stood up for a moment and went to the bathroom to put water and wash.
She had always slept late, and she still hadn't slept after eleven o'clock. So he took the book and nestled on the sofa and read the book. Cheng Wei felt awkward living across from her, she took a deep breath and restrained herself from suppressing that feeling.
Zhou He didn't sleep until more than one o'clock in the morning, and the next day was the weekend, so it was rare not to have to travel. She slept in, got up, cleaned up, baked bread and fried an egg for breakfast. After eating, seeing that there was nothing in the refrigerator, she changed her clothes and prepared to go out to shop.
Meng Shan didn't have a business trip for a week, so she didn't have to worry about not being able to eat.
She opened the door and went out, and the door of Cheng Wei on the opposite side also opened. He was wearing a set of gray home clothes, and when he saw Zhou He, he asked, "Where is there a supermarket nearby?"
Zhou He didn't raise his eyelids and said, "You can go out and turn left and right, there are supermarkets nearby." ”
She didn't stop after speaking, and walked directly to the elevator. only left a back for Cheng Wei.
Cheng Wei's eyebrows were slightly raised, and he went back to the house to change his clothes.
Zhou Ji didn't take this matter to heart, but it happened that she met Cheng Wei again when she was pushing a cart to buy daily necessities in the supermarket.
He also pushed a cart, which already contained a number of things. Seeing that Zhou He stopped, the corners of his lips hooked, and said, "It's quite a coincidence." ”
Zhou He nodded slightly, didn't say a word, and directly pushed the cart to the other side.
This supermarket is only that big, and you will come across it from time to time in the following time. Zhou He picked vegetables and meat, and Cheng Wei also picked them. She went to buy fruit, and he picked it too.
When Zhou He went to get milk, he actually followed the milk, and even the two of them went to the bill together.
Cheng Wei picked more things than Zhou He, and Zhou He settled the account in one step after Zhou He. Zhou He didn't take a few steps with his things, he also pushed the cart and chased after him, and said, "I drove over, and the things are quite far away, let's go together." ”
"Thank you, Mr. Cheng, no need, just exercising. After she finished speaking, she didn't look at Cheng Wei, and walked quickly to the exit of the supermarket.
Cheng Wei looked at the cart full of things, and finally didn't catch up with it, and pushed it to the underground parking lot.
Zhou He's lucky, just got to the side of the road and there was a taxi coming. When she went back, there was no movement in the opposite room, and Cheng Wei should not have come back yet.
Zhou He hadn't cooked at home for a long time, so he put things in the refrigerator and made pork ribs and corn soup. After making it, wash your hands and bread dumplings, and plan to get some to put in the refrigerator, and you can eat it when you come back from overtime.
The phone rang before the dumplings were wrapped, and Xu Yuanning called and asked what she was doing. said that he had something to do and returned to Beijing, and the little guy was clamoring to see her. He brought him over to her.
Zhou He said that she was resting today and asked him to bring the little one over. And ask the little one what he likes to eat, and she starts to do it now.
Xu Yuanning asked her not to bother, the little guy is not picky, and he can eat anything.
Despite this, Zhou He still wrapped some cute small buns and steamed them.
Less than half an hour later, there was a knock on the door. Zhou He thought that Xu Yuanning had come over with the little guy, wiped his hands and went to open the door quickly.
opened the door, but it was not Xu Yuanning standing outside, but Cheng Wei.
The smile on Zhou He's face was put away, and he asked, "Is there something wrong with Mr. Cheng?"
Cheng Wei sighed and said, "Can you lend me some soy sauce, I forgot to buy it in the supermarket just now." ”
Zhou He didn't say anything, and quickly went in and took out the soy sauce. At this time, she bought it newly today, handed it to Cheng Wei and said, "You don't have to return it." ”
She closed the door with that.
Xu Yuanning and the little guy came an hour later and bought some fruit to bring over. Although he hadn't seen him for a while, the little guy still remembered Zhou He, and when he saw her, he struggled down from Xu Yuanning's body, ran to Zhou He with his little short legs, and shouted, "Mom." ”
Xu Yuanning was helpless, stepped forward and patted the little guy's head, and said, "It's aunt, not mother." ”
The child longs for motherly love, although he can't bear to be too harsh. But it must be embarrassing for him to call Zhou He like this, and he can only correct it impatiently.
The little guy was a little aggrieved, but this time he obediently called his aunt.
Zhou He had already picked him up and said, "Whatever Lele wants to eat, Aunt will make it for Lele." Auntie's cooking is better than your father's. ”
She was completely boasting about herself, Xu Yuanning laughed, nodded in agreement, and said, "Auntie's cooking is indeed better than Dad's, Lele has to eat obediently tonight." ”
The little guy didn't quite understand it yet, and nodded with a wink.
Zhou He took the little guy to wash his hands, and then went to bring out the steamed buns, and let the little guy eat some first, and he could eat in a while.
Because the little guy came, the meal was very hearty, with sweet and sour pork ribs, cola chicken wings, and round balls, steamed fish, braised pork and other vegetarian dishes.
Xu Yuanning couldn't help but shake his head when he saw her making so much, and said, "Don't make so much in the future, you can't eat it and waste it." ”
She moved quickly, and it didn't take long for the meal to be put on the table. Just as he was about to start eating, there was another knock on the door.
The person who came at this time, the eight achievements are Cheng Wei. Zhou He's body stiffened slightly, let Xu Yuanning eat first, and then quickly went to open the door.
Standing outside the door was Cheng Wei, holding the bottle of soy sauce in his hand. He didn't hand the soy sauce bottle to Zhou He, looked at the shoes placed at the entrance, raised his eyebrows, and said, "There are guests at home?"
He's pretty lenient in his affairs.
Before Zhou He could speak, Xu Yuanning walked out. He was quite surprised to see Cheng Wei, but he quickly said hello and called Mr. Cheng.
Cheng Wei was lazy, and he also greeted him and said, "I came here to borrow soy sauce just now, and when I went back, I found that there was no noodles at home." I'm going out to eat. ”
As he spoke, he handed the soy sauce to Zhou He.
The family has already set up a meal, and it is obviously not appropriate to say a word. Xu Yuanning said at this time: "We are also going to eat, why don't Mr. Cheng come over?"
These words were obviously in the middle of Cheng Wei's arms, his eyebrows were slightly raised, he glanced at Zhou He, and said, "This is not very good, right?"
Zhou He's face was expressionless, and he said: "It's really not convenient, the meal is simple, I'm afraid I can't entertain Mr. Cheng." ”
Cheng Wei sighed, glanced inside, and said, "I'm not a picky eater." ”
He didn't care about Zhou He, he actually came into the house directly.
His skin is not ordinarily thick. Zhou He's face was not good, but the people had already come in, and they couldn't be driven out again.
Xu Yuanning was a casual polite remark, but now that he really came, he had to greet him and let him sit at the table.
There was already a little guy sitting at the table, Cheng Wei automatically ignored him, looked at the table full of dishes, and said with a smile: "This is still called simple?"
He sat down as he spoke. Zhou He went to the kitchen with a dark face and added dishes and chopsticks.
When he came out, Xu Yuanning had already greeted Cheng Wei, a good dinner was made like this, Zhou He had no appetite, and he didn't even have a smiling face during the whole process, coaxing the little guy to eat.
Cheng Wei was very leisurely, ate a lot, and even added food. He didn't seem to feel uncomfortable at all. This thick-skinned person has to be admired.
The little guy is sensitive, probably with a sense of crisis. Originally, I called my aunt, but now I screamed from my mother, and I have been sticking to each other.
Xu Yuanning corrected the little guy twice, and after ignoring it, he had to let him go.
In order not to make the atmosphere too embarrassing, Xu Yuanning talked to Cheng Wei from time to time. Although Zhou He never spoke, the atmosphere was not very stiff.
After eating, Cheng Wei had no plans to leave. While Xu Yuanning took the little guy to the bathroom, Zhou He looked at him and asked expressionlessly, "Does Cheng always plan to stay for the New Year?"
She was exasperated, and her tone was unceremoniously sarcastic.
Cheng Wei was not angry, the corners of his lips hooked, and said, "Why don't you just eat a meal, Miss Zhou is like this?" His fingers tapped on the table and said, "Since Miss Zhou minds, then I will invite Miss Zhou to dinner tomorrow night." ”
He had a lazy smile on his face, like a scoundrel.
Zhou Hehu was a little tired, and said coldly: "No need, Mr. Cheng, please go back." ”
As soon as she finished speaking, Xu Yuanning came out with the little guy.
Cheng Wei finally got interested and got up to say goodbye.
As soon as he was gone, the little one was happy and jumped on the couch.
After a while, Xu Yuanning asked in a low voice, "Does Mr. Cheng live opposite?"
Zhou He nodded and said, "It seems that I just moved here." I'm not very sure about all the business trips here. ”
There was a faint hint of fatigue on her face. Xu Yuanning didn't ask any further, just nodded.
Xu Yuanning took the little guy to play until more than eight o'clock in the evening, and when he saw that the little guy wanted to sleep, he coaxed the little guy to leave. Zhou He sent them to the parking lot, watched Xu Yuanning drive away, and then went upstairs.
She was the only one in the elevator, so silent that there was no sound. She didn't know what she was thinking, and looked up at the elevator wall.
The elevator stopped after a while, and Zhou He walked out, not opening the door of his house, but knocking on the door opposite.
Cheng Wei opened the door after a while, and he was not surprised to see Zhou He. He stepped aside and said, "Come in and sit." ”
Zhou He didn't move, raised a pair of dark eyes to look at him, and asked lightly, "What does Mr. Cheng want?"
Cheng Wei raised his eyebrows and said, "Did I offend Miss Zhou somewhere?"
He pretended to be quite similar.
Zhou He's lips pursed tightly, and he didn't speak.
Cheng Wei raised his eyebrows again, took out a cigarette from the entrance on the side and lit it, and said, "Did I disturb Miss Zhou's date?"
Zhou He still didn't speak, smiled faintly after a while, and said, "I think what Mr. Cheng wants to do should have been completed three years ago." For people like me, who have nothing to use in the first place, please ask Mr. Cheng to raise his noble hand. ”
The expression on her face faded to the extreme. After saying this, he stopped looking at Cheng Wei, turned around and opened the door and went back to the room.
Cheng Wei leaned against the door, smoking a cigarette for a long time and did not move.
Zhou He entered the house, stood for a while, and went to clean up the kitchen. It was raining outside at about ten o'clock, and there was a crackling sound on the windows.
She walked out onto the balcony and stood, watching the rain fall all the time. It wasn't until her hands and feet were cold that she walked back indoors. I turned on the computer and looked at the materials that I hadn't finished reading on Friday.
Looking at her, she somehow lost her mind, so she simply turned off the computer, closed her eyes and leaned back on the sofa. Just sit quietly.
Zhouhe's company has a dormitory, and the next day I sent an email to apply for a dormitory, planning to live in the dormitory. There are not many people in the company, and there are still vacant dormitories. It's not hard to apply. What's more, she is still a celebrity by Meng Shan's side.
Zhou He moved to the dormitory on Sunday afternoon, and she spent more time on business trips and less time at home. There's nothing to bring.
On Monday morning, she learned that Meng Shan planned to send one from the people around her to N City to explore the market. It's a chore, and if it's done well, it's naturally beautiful. But new markets, where is so good to open. If you don't do it well, your future will probably stop there. In addition, Sister Liu's side has not made any progress for half a year, and this matter has become a hot potato, and no one is willing to take it.
Meng Shan had a headache and asked Zhou He if he had a suitable candidate.
Zhou He thought for a moment and asked, "Mr. Meng, can I go over?"
Meng Shan didn't expect her to bring it up, so she groaned slightly and said, "Yes, but that's a chore." You have to think about it. ”
Zhou He nodded and said, "I've thought about it." You don't have the right person right now, I'll try it out. ”
That's it. Later, when the people in the company heard that Zhou He was actively proposing to go over, they couldn't help but talk about it.
She is a celebrity next to Meng Shan, so she will naturally have a good future, so she doesn't have to suffer this kind of hardship and take such risks.
Although she volunteered, she was young and inexperienced after all. Meng Shan sent the right people to come with her and told her to come back if she couldn't hold on. The position of her assistant is always reserved for her.
Zhou He is her assistant who is more convenient to use. He knows what to ask and what not to ask, and he never talks too much. She was reluctant to let her go. But she took the initiative to ask to exercise, which is a good thing, and she naturally can't stop it.
After it was settled, it had to be passed immediately, and Zhou He didn't even have time to say goodbye to Xu Yuanning, who was still in Kyoto, so he flew to N City.
Naturally, the conditions in N City are not as good as in Kyoto, and the office is in a small residential building. The staff dormitory building is an old neighborhood right next to it.
Inside is a small private room, and the bathroom is tight enough for one person to turn around. The only appliance was a small fridge.
They came in a hurry, and they didn't have time to arrange it. The person in charge was a little embarrassed, and said that the funds were not enough, so there was only this condition. The main reason is that it is close to the office, and it is convenient to go to and from work.
The funds allocated are well known in their hearts, and this will not be the case no matter what. When he first arrived, Zhou He didn't demolish him, he just said that it was okay, as long as there was a place to sleep.
She was so talkative, and the person in charge breathed a sigh of relief. offered to pick up the wind and wash the dust for them. Zhou He refused on the grounds that he was tired and wanted to rest.
The house was only cleaned briefly, and the person in charge offered to find someone to clean it for them. Zhou He also refused, saying that the place was not big, and he could clean it up by himself. And ask him to go back and leave them alone.
The person in charge had to leave.
What Zhou He needs to know about the situation here is that he went to find a part-time worker to clean up. After reading the report here with Brother Cai, he found that there were many problems, so he frowned and thought about it.
She has no experience in this area, and neither does Brother Cai. Zhou He sat for a while, and then called Sister Liu. She has been running in for half a year, and she should be experienced in dealing with this kind of thing.
Meng Shan should have called Sister Liu, and when Zhou He's phone called, she laughed heartily, saying that she was planning to call her later. I didn't expect her to call first.
