Chapter 110: I have to see you
Text Chapter 110 I have to see
The call came from one of Qin Tianhai's subordinates, Zhang Jian, a vice president in charge of engineering and construction at Qinfeng Group, who was also in Paris at the time when he was negotiating a business with a French decoration design company called Windex.
And Abel, the boss of this Windex company, heard that Qin Tianhai, the boss of Qinfeng Group, also came to France, so he intended to meet him, hoping that the two companies could have further cooperation in the future.
Listening to Zhang Jian's request conveyed on his behalf, Qin Tianhai's heart was a little hesitant.
In fact, it is not a problem to meet with the CEO of Windex Company and have a semi-commercial and semi-private meeting, after all, Qinfeng Group is also an international multinational company, and this Windex Company has a certain authority in the global decoration design industry, and it is beneficial and harmless for Qinfeng Group to meet with the senior management of such a company.
Qin Tianhai's concern is that he and this Abel had a relationship at the last domestic charity gala, and the two companies had not cooperated at that time, so they did not know each other, at that time, Abel appeared at the party as Mei Xuenan's boss and boyfriend, and it was because of Xue Nan's concerns that Qin Tianhai did not have a deeper relationship with this Abel at that time.
Later, the two companies had cooperation projects, and Qin Tianhai sent deputies in related fields to negotiate, and he did not come forward in person, just to avoid meeting with Abel, and the real reason why he avoided Abel was, of course, because of Mei Xuenan.
Qin Tianhai thought that since Mei Xuenan had decided to choose Abel as her current boyfriend, he hoped that her relationship could be a smooth and stable success, and it would be better for him to get closer to them less, so as not to disturb Xue Nan's heart and make her relationship unsuccessful, Qin Tianhai's heart would of course feel guilty and uncomfortable.
It was based on this consideration that Qin Tianhai avoided meeting with Abel as much as possible.
But at this time, Abel asked his subordinates to come to the door, and he was in Paris, and the time for this business trip was enough, if he had to block it, it would really seem a little petty, and it would also damage the prestige of Qinfeng Group's multinational enterprises, so after thinking about it, Qin Tianhai replied to Vice President Zhang Jian: " I came this time, mainly to negotiate a medical cooperation project with Astom company, the schedule of the past two days is very full, I'm afraid there is no time, two days later, you arrange a time, let me meet with the CEO of Windeckes, you can decide the time and place. ”
Zhang Jian agreed: "Okay, Mr. Qin, I'll do it immediately." ”
Qin Tianhai let out a "hmm" and said, "Okay, I'll wait for your news." He hung up.
Putting down the phone, Qin Tianhai's heart couldn't calm down for a long time, he didn't know if he would meet Mei Xuenan during this meeting with Abel, and he didn't know how far the relationship between Mei Xuenan and Abel had developed now, and whether they would seem a little embarrassed after meeting...... Thinking like this, Qin Tianhai didn't have the heart to go downstairs anymore.
In this way, until dinner time, Astom sent someone to pick up Qin Tianhai and others, because the boss of Astom specially arranged a grand dinner tonight to uncover the dust for Qin Tianhai and his party.
After busy finishing the two-day schedule, in the evening of the same day, Zhang Jian called and said that Abel, the boss of Windex, had asked Qin Tianhai to meet at the famous Alain Ducatse restaurant in France the next afternoon, and Qin Tianhai readily agreed.
###
The next day, in the afternoon.
Before going to the banquet, Qin Tianhai was still a little uneasy in his heart, but after all, he was used to seeing all kinds of big scenes in the wind and rain for so many years, so this uneasiness quickly disappeared, and he went to Abel's dinner in formal clothes.
As Qin Tianhai expected, among the accompanying personnel on the side of Windecks Company that night, there was indeed Mei Xuenan.
Tonight, she was dressed in a silver-white fishtail evening gown, her hair was coiled high, and the dazzling diamond necklace around her neck was matched with her well-painted evening makeup, and she looked as beautiful as a delicate water lotus.
The banquet that night was mainly private, Abel is a middle-aged man in his forties, very talkative, because he often comes to China to negotiate some cooperation projects, so he knows some Chinese, and French is Qin Tianhai's second foreign language, although it is not as easy to use as English, but there is no problem with ordinary communication, so the communication between the two CEOs that night is completely barrier-free, and it can even be said that they have a good conversation.
During the dinner, Mei Xuenan had been relatively silent, and Abel obviously didn't know about her and Qin Tianhai's past, and the reason why Xue Nan was arranged to accompany her was mainly because she was a Chinese, thinking that this would promote communication with Qin Tianhai.
Seeing Abel's businesslike face during the interaction with Mei Xuenan, Qin Tianhai had a hint of foreboding in his heart, although Westerners clearly distinguish between business and private affairs, if a pair of lovers are in the same company and appear in public at the same time, they will definitely behave politely and politely, and will not be too ambiguous, because it is a sign of rudeness.
However, Abel and Mei Xuenan are obviously too polite tonight, because even if they are measured, the ambiguous eye contact between lovers is unavoidable, but there is no one between Mei Xuenan and Abel, the two are always plain and bland, and occasionally have eye contact, which is also faint, and there is no affection between lovers.
Qin Tianhai felt that there must have been a problem in the relationship between them.
After the dinner that day, Abel offered to send someone to escort Qin Tianhai and others back to the hotel, but Qin Tianhai politely rejected his kindness, because he received a message from Mei Xuenan asking him to meet him on the famous Pont des Arts in Paris.
Qin Tianhai wanted to know Mei Xuenan's current situation very much, so he didn't care about anything else at all, and hurriedly went to Mei Xuenan's date.
The Pont des Arts in Paris is a bridge built for pedestrians with metal as the main body, the bridge is planted with all kinds of beautiful flowers and trees, known as the garden on the Seine; standing on the Pont des Arts of Art, you can see the beautiful and majestic Louvre in the north of the bridge, the magnificent and upright French Academy in the south of the bridge, and the famous Pont des Chins in the west of the bridge.
At this time, under the light of the night, the Art Bridge has a different kind of brilliance.
When Qin Tianhai arrived, Mei Xuenan had been waiting for him on the bridge for a long time.
The wind at night was very cool, at this time Mei Xuenan was wearing a silver-gray long windbreaker, and a women's flower hat on her head, she stood quietly on the edge of the bridge railing, under the dim street lamp, her body was filled with a lonely and charming style.
Qin Tianhai slowly walked towards Mei Xuenan, his mood was very complicated.
At a distance of one meter from Mei Xuenan, Qin Tianhai stopped, holding his hat in his hand.
At this time, Mei Xuenan also turned around and looked at Qin Tianhai fixedly, they were silently opposed to each other like this, and they were speechless for a long time.
Later, Mei Xuenan smiled faintly at Qin Tianhai, although the smile was as sweet as ever, but there was a little bitterness in the sweetness.
Qin Tianhai asked Mei Xuenan softly, "How are you doing lately?"
Mei Xuenan smiled bitterly and muttered, "It's okay." ”
Qin Tianhai took a step forward and approached Mei Xuenan, and the two of them sat down leaning on the edge of the bridge railing.
Qin Tianhai had been silently observing Mei Xuenan's face, Mei Xuenan was a little embarrassed by him, turned his head sideways and asked him softly, "What are you looking at?"
Qin Tianhai felt a little rude, he withdrew his gaze and coughed in disguise.
After a moment of silence, Qin Tianhai hesitated and asked Mei Xuenan: "You and him...... Are they still together?"
Mei Xuenan didn't seem to understand what he meant, and turned her head sideways abruptly and asked, "With whom?"
Seeing that Qin Tianhai's expression was a little stunned, Mei Xuenan smiled faintly, she let out an "oh", and then replied calmly: "You mean Abel, right? ”
Qin Tianhai's heart sank, as he expected, looking at the situation tonight, Abel and Xue Nan didn't look like what a pair of lovers should be.
"What about you...... Still working together?" After a moment of silence, Qin Tianhai asked softly.
Mei Xuenan's reply was not shocked, she asked Qin Tianhai and said lightly: "Yes, what is this? I and him are just a short-lived relationship, and they have no impact on each other's lives at all, and besides, they are all adults, love is love, and work is work, and we still have a clear distinction on this point." ”
Qin Tianhai let out a faint "oh", but the thoughts in his heart were very complicated, in this way, now that Mei Xuenan is alone again, wouldn't she be even more lonely and helpless if she lives alone in this strange city with no relatives?
At this time, Mei Xuenan raised her head to look at Qin Tianhai, and said to him with a smile: "Don't talk about me, talk about you, you and ...... Is she okay?"
Qin Tianhai came back to his senses, he looked at Mei Xuenan and replied softly, "Fortunately, she has ...... Pregnant. ”
These words obviously touched Mei Xuenan's nerves, the smile she was still floating on her face just now froze, Qin Tianhai also felt a little embarrassed, maybe he shouldn't mention this, but there were some things he couldn't help but say, because in this way, the other party could better understand his current situation.
"Oh, that...... Congratulations. After being silent for a long time, Mei Xuenan said softly.
"Thank you......" Qin Tianhai smiled awkwardly at Mei Xuenan.
A cool breeze blew, Mei Xuenan subconsciously tightened her shoulders, Qin Tianhai saw that she was shivering with cold, and hurriedly took off the windbreaker on her body and draped it on her thin shoulders.
Mei Xuenan whispered "thank you", and at the same time glanced at Qin Tianhai and asked, "Aren't you cold?"
Qin Tianhai glanced at his body and said, "I'm not cold, I'm wearing a suit inside." This season is autumn in Paris, Qin Tianhai knew that it would be very cold at night, so he deliberately added a windbreaker and a hat to his suit when he came out.
Mei Xuenan looked at him lightly and said with a little playfulness: "You are always so thoughtful. ”
Hearing Mei Xuenan say this, Qin Tianhai smiled awkwardly, but he had a different feeling in his heart.
In fact, the thoughtful person was not him, but Gu Xinrui.
Including the windbreaker he handed to Mei Xuenan just now, as well as the top hat in his hand, Gu Xinrui specially helped him carry the bag, because Xinrui knew that autumn in France was very cold, and he was afraid that Qin Tianhai's clothes would be too thin when he went out at night, so he specially told him to put it in the car so that he could wear it at any time.
At this moment, looking at Mei Xuenan's frozen pale face, Qin Tianhai said softly: "You are dressed too thinly, you must be cold, right?"
Mei Xuenan's evening dress is close-fitting, and it can't stop any wind chill at all, and the windbreaker outside her is also very thin, so she will shrink like this under the cold autumn wind of the Parisian night.
"Maybe the heart is colder, right?" staring at Qin Tianhai fixedly for a long time, Mei Xuenan said.
