Gu Yunfan thought about it for a long time, but he still didn't want to call Xia Zhengnian, so he dialed the landline on the table, "Come in!"

Soon, Shen Jiapeng came in, "Mr. Gu!"

"You find a time to contact Xia Zhengnian and find out what he is talking about first. ”

"Okay!" Shen Jiapeng turned around and went out.

Xia Zhengnian suddenly had the idea of buying ME at this time, nine times out of ten, it was for his precious daughter, if he called him now, he would inevitably become the object of his accusation. Gu Yunfan remembered that the wedding invitation was originally not sent to Xia Zhengnian, but Gu Jiangdong said that the relationship between the two families was so good, and his son's marriage was a big deal, so he had to inform his old friend, so Gu Yunfan sent an invitation to Xia Zhengnian abroad in the name of Gu Jiangdong. But the old friend in Gu Jiangdong's mouth did not come to the wedding, and the reason was also a common word "busy".

After Jupiter Xingchen brewed coffee, he sent it to Yan Yidong's office, she carefully placed it on Yan Yidong's desk, Yan Yidong's desk was very wide, but there was only a computer and an ashtray on such a wide desk, she put the coffee on a corner of the desk, Jupiter Xingchen knew that Yan Yidong didn't drink coffee, but he had a coffee addiction, generally there would be a story behind such a peculiar weirdness, and Jupiter didn't want to know more, she just wanted to spend all her thoughts and energy on work now, her boss asked her to make coffee, she just had to make it, and whatever the boss told her, she just had to work hard to do it well。

"Mr. Yan, Xia Zhengnian plans to acquire a retail chain brand in China. Jupiter Xingchen neatly placed the information in his hand on Yan Yidong's desk.

"ME?" Yan Yidong read the name of the brand after reading the introduction on the information.

A hint of strangeness quietly flashed across Jupiter's face for a moment, and she didn't answer.

When Yan Yidong saw the name of the brand founder again, he couldn't help frowning slightly, "She really refuses to give up." ”

Of course, Mu Xingchen didn't understand the meaning of Yan Yidong's words, she said: Mr. Yan, "If it's okay, I'll get off work first." ”

Yan Yidong noticed that the time on the computer had exceeded the off-duty time by an hour, he nodded, raised his eyes to look at Mu Xingchen and smiled: "It's hard." ”

After Mu Xingchen came out of the company building, she rummaged through her bag, only to remember that the key to the apartment was still on the desk, she left in a panic just now, just because she was afraid that the expression on her face would be exposed, when she found out the brand name that Xia Zhengnian wanted to buy, she was shocked, "ME" When Gu Yunfan's name appeared in front of her, she was stunned for several seconds.

She hasn't returned to China for many years, she doesn't know that this brand has really become a national chain, she rarely reads any news reports in China, so there has been no news of Gu Yunfan for a long time, she lives a life with a completely different trajectory from him, she looked at the words on the computer, those introductions to "ME" and praise for Gu Yunfan, she was happy for him from the bottom of her heart, it turned out that he really did it.

Jugpitney Xingchen sat weakly on the edge of the flower bed downstairs of the company, and she remembered that Gu Yunfan looked at a news about a global entrepreneur ranking and said, "When I return to China, I want to open a chain convenience store." ”

Jupiter Xingchen was scraping the ice cream in the box with a small wooden spoon at the time, looking at the energetic Gu Yunfan confidently talking about her future plans, so she said, "Okay, this is good, what is the name of the store?"

"You can help me think of one, your writing is good. ”

"ME?" Mu Xingchen asked in English after being stunned for a moment.

Gu Yunfan looked up thoughtfully and repeated, "ME, well, that's right, it's called this name......"

Mu Xingchen only felt that such a past made her a little sad, after so many years, she had experienced so much, she couldn't shed a single tear again, but today people can't continue to be strong. She sat for a while, sorted out her emotions, and was about to go upstairs again to get the key, when she just took a step, the mobile phone rang, and she took it out and saw that it was her boss Yan Yidong.

"Mr. Yan, hello!"

"Did you drop the key in the company, when I just put the statistics table on your desk, I saw that there was a string of keys on your desk. ”

"Well, yes, I forgot to bring it. ”

"Where are you? I'll send it to you. ”

"Thank you, I'm downstairs. ”

"Oh, okay, I'll get down right away. ”

Soon Yan Yidong came out of the elevator, he held the key of Jupiter in his hand, and walked towards her, Jupiter Xingchen stood and walked over from the flower bed, the light of the setting sun gently swept her face, she raised her hand to block the dazzling sunlight, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but twitch slightly, and a pair of shallow dimples appeared on her face.

Yan Yidong's feet paused, and in a trance, he saw another person's face again.

"Mr. Yan, thank you!" Jupiter Xingchen immediately stepped forward.

Yan Yidong coughed lightly to ease the thought just now. "You're welcome. He handed her the key and asked, "Where do you stay, I'll give you a ride." ”

Jupiter Xingchen said euphemistically: "No need, thank you." ”

"Then go have a meal, I'm hungry too, I don't think you have eaten either. ”

Jupiter Xingchen didn't know how to refuse, she really didn't eat.

"Let's go, I just want someone to talk to. Yan Yidong chuckled.

Jupiter Xingchen could see that there was endless sadness in that smile, it was not laughter, it was helplessness, she understood this helplessness, so she said, "Okay!"

"How about eating hot pot?" Yan Yidong started the car and asked Mu Xingchen.

"Yes. In fact, she hasn't eaten Chinese food for a long time, it's not that she doesn't like it, but she's afraid that she will think of the past when she eats. She subconsciously clenched her hands, her eyes were a little sour, she quickly turned her face to look out the window, the bustling city, the passers-by, she has been in this city for nearly seven years, but everything here is still so unfamiliar, she doesn't have a place that can give her a sense of belonging, a place called "home".

After Yan Yidong parked the car, the two got out of the car together. "This hot pot restaurant is very famous in China, and it was the first time I ate at their house abroad. Yan Yidong introduced to Jupiter Xingchen as he walked, and walked inside with her.

As soon as I came in, there was a spicy and fragrant smell coming to my nose, Jupiter Xingchen hadn't smelled this smell for a long time, and almost all the guests sitting here were Chinese, and the waiters were also Chinese, and they said enthusiastically, "Welcome!" Jupiter Xingchen instantly felt as if his heart was being pulled, and there was a faint pain.

The waiter arranged a small private room for them, and Yan Yidong handed the tablet for ordering to Mu Xingchen, "You can order it, see what you want to eat." ”

"I'm not very good at ordering it, so you should order it. ”

"It's all off work, you tell me to stop calling me 'you', I think we're about the same age. After Yan Yidong filled Jupiter's cup with water, he put the cup in front of her.

Jupiter smiled slightly.

"Why don't you ask me why you want to check Xia Zhengnian. ”

"The thing that the leader explains is the work, and if you don't say it, I definitely won't ask, I just have to do it well. ”

"Your ability is very good, but I have read your resume, your previous company is bigger than ours, how did you think of coming to us. ”

"For personal reasons. Jupiter said lightly.

Yan Yidong didn't say anything anymore, he just looked at Jupiter Xingchen's resume not long ago, he knew that company was among the top 20 in the world, and her position was assistant to the CEO. Therefore, the "personal reasons" she is talking about now will have something to do with this.

"Let's eat!" Yan Yidong scooped the vegetables in the pot with a colander spoon.

Two people with stories sit together, and they don't need to say much, maybe they can know the pain in each other's hearts with a single look. This meal lasted for more than an hour, and when it came from inside, there were still guests who had just come in, and Mu Xingchen looked back at the lively scene, and tears flowed out instantly, and she quickly wiped them off with her hands.

"Where do you live, I'll send you back. Yan Yidong walked in front and turned back to ask Jupiter Xingchen.

She said an address in a sloppy manner.

It's the end of September now, and the temperature here has dropped a lot, and although it is still sunny during the day, the wind is blowing at night, and the cool autumn breeze makes people feel chilly.

Yan Yidong started the car after setting up the navigation, and Jupiter Xingchen gave people the feeling that he was the kind of person who didn't talk much, and at this time, there was no half a sentence.

"How often do you go back home. Yan Yidong wanted to break this embarrassing atmosphere as much as possible, so he casually pulled up a topic.

"It's been a long time since I've been back home. ”

"And what about your family, don't they miss you?"

Jupiter Xingchen was stunned for a moment, family? Is that kind of person considered family? They wish she would never go back, how could they miss her?

"I was an abandoned baby, and I was picked up later, and in the end, in order to ask me to repay them, they let me marry a foreigner, who was twenty years older than me......" Jupiter Xingchen obviously couldn't say any more, she paused, changed her breath, and then continued: "I begged the foreigner bitterly later, and he divorced me, and according to the agreement, I can only leave the house." I quickly found a job, that is, the company you said, I became the CEO's assistant, but many people did not recognize me as a Chinese, they excluded me everywhere, deliberately embarrassed me, but I gritted my teeth and survived, but then I don't know who began to spread rumors that I had an affair with the CEO, and once the rumors were spread by others, they would be out of control. Jupiter Xingchen frowned, as if she had returned to that scene at that time, her body trembled slightly, "So, I can only choose to resign, the CEO originally said that he wanted to give me some compensation, but I didn't ask for it." Not long after I left, I learned that the person who had taken my place was the same person who had spread the rumors. ”
