Chapter 23

That night, Chen Yi received a text message from a stranger, with only two words - "thank you" - and her first reaction was: Bai Qi.

As early as when they broke up, she blocked Bai Qi's WeChat and mobile phone number, so she couldn't receive his old number information, so she guessed that after he received the gift from Bai Tang, in order to thank her, he bought a new phone number.

She was in the bedroom making corrections for Chu Fan's script, while Chi Nuo was watching TV with Zhou Biyun, and the two of them had a heated discussion on the plot, "The Su family doesn't have a good thing. ”

After thinking about it for a while, she still walked to the balcony and dialed back to this unfamiliar number, she patiently listened to the sound of "beep" for a long time, and couldn't help but imagine that Bai Qi was hesitant to hold the phone, and actually smiled, and was finally answered by the other side, Chen Yi said "Hey?", but she didn't see the reaction from the other side, but just listening to the sound of breathing, she also knew that it was Bai Qi.

After all, for so many nights, she fell asleep listening to the sound of breathing, each sound was like a quiet wave in the moonlight, inaudible, but light and slow, leisurely, it was the sound of the waves that reassured her.

She listened for a while and said softly, "Happy birthday." ”

The sea seemed to be disturbed by a storm, and it was silent for a while, and finally after surviving the strong wind, it was a "Thank you" that was unguarded. Immediately afterwards, he hung up the phone as if he regretted it, and threw Chen Yi's small boat into the vast air without support.

After listening to the blind voice for a while, Chen Yi also hung up the phone, and heard Chi Nuo's voice in the living room, "Sister, I washed the grapes, are you done?"

Chen Yi put down her mobile phone and asked with a normal smile as she walked out, "Can you help me make a cup of coffee?"

"Okay!" Chi Nuo nodded in agreement, and walked to the coffee machine at home, in order to take care of Chen Yi's habit of drinking coffee, he taught himself a barista course through the Internet, and he was already able to make a latte with enough milk foam and a greasy surface like lacquer.

When Chi Nuo had already gone to bed, Chen Yi sat in the living room and continued to use the computer to type in order not to disturb him, and when the day was almost over, Bai Tang sent a lot of WeChat messages, "I was in high with my brother's friends just now, I didn't want to do such a big game, everyone wanted to help my brother do a 'party' But he didn't want to live, at dinner, when I took the birthday gift to him, his face shocked me to lean, for a while I couldn't tell whether he was moved or hit me, and didn't ask me where I got it, maybe I didn't need to ask, and then suddenly went out, so scared that I didn't dare to ask, and when he came back again, the mood looked completely different, and he actually asked me to go out to celebrate. ”

Chen Yi smiled, she knew that he had gone out to buy a new number, and then waited for her call.

Bai Tang continued to send messages: "Wait a minute, we're going to renew the stall, you don't know how crazy he is, it's funny, I kissed all his buddies with my lipstick, I didn't eat half of the cake, I wiped it all on them, these crazy things." A picture came to her, and she wrote, "Attach him who is drunk and give it to you, Mo Mo Da." ”

In the box of the Korean barbecue restaurant with warm yellow lights, Bai Qi was squeezed in the middle by his friends in front of and around, Bai Qi squinted his eyes, very intoxicated, like a well-fed lion cub, sleepy in the sun.

He was wearing a white shirt, his skin was red, probably because of the heat, several buttons were unbuttoned, revealing the chest muscles that were no longer swollen but flat, indicating that he had lost a lot of weight, and his arms were no longer bulging, he had a more refreshing hairstyle than before, without bangs and sideburns, and the whole face looked a little like him when he was a teenager.

Chen Yi let out a long sigh silently, she hadn't seen him for too long, strange, familiar, distant, and close, she stared at this face for a long time under the lamp, it was very wonderful, she felt that he was also thinking about her,

Chen Yi's mood is much better, although she doesn't feel how unhappy she is recently, but she feels that she has been in the haze climate of constant temperature, and at this moment she can finally feel the temperature of a touch of sunlight on her skin, she is as radiant as an overcharged light bulb, and when she walked into the company, she even changed her expressionless face in the past, and unconsciously smiled at everyone, which surprised everyone, and they were all overwhelmed and blushed.

Bai Yuyuan was the only one in the whole company who was not infected by Chen Yi's positive emotions, she strode straight towards her from her office angrily, and said angrily, "Chen Yi!"

Everyone stopped what they were doing in unison, and Qi Shushu held their breath, but they didn't dare to blatantly look up, and they all squinted their eyes and peeked, and even called Mr. Chen by his name? Is she fat or is she really sitting firmly on Li Kezhi's thighs? Everyone exchanged guessing brain waves with each other.

Chen Yi continued to walk towards the office without looking back, and said with a smile, "Mr. Bai, please make an appointment with me if you have something." After that, he disappeared lightly at the door, and Bai Yuyuan rushed up angrily and slammed the door a few times, Chen Yi's assistant hurriedly rushed up and asked, "Mr. Bai, what's wrong?

"What's the matter with you?" Bai Yuyuan pushed her away, "I have something to say to Chen Yiβ€”"

The assistant felt that he was obviously despised, and he was angry, but he could only smile on his face, "Mr. Bai, I'm sorry, you also heard it, you need to make an appointment for an interview with Mr. Chen." ”

"You get out of the way. Bai Yuyuan glared at her, gritted her teeth and said, "What are you?"

"She's my assistantβ€”" Chen Yi suddenly opened the door and said, "It's her job to arrange my meeting and itinerary and decide who can see me." ”

Bai Yuyuan saw her and was about to open her mouth, but after seeing her finish, "Please make an appointment." After that, he closed the door again.

Seeing Bai Yuyuan's dumb face, the assistant's grievances and anger went down, and there was a smile in her tone, she forcibly said seriously, "Please make an appointment, I'm just doing my job." ”

Bai Yuyuan yelled at her, "About, about, about! I'll make an appointment now." ”

"Wait a minute, I'll report it. The assistant turned around and knocked on the door, "Boss, Director Bai wants to see you now, is it okay?"

"Come in. Chen Yi's voice floated over slowly, "The door is not locked." ”

The assistant then made a gesture of "please" to Bai Yuyuan and said, "Mr. Chen is free now." ”

Bai Yuyuan could feel the dense gaze on her back, everyone was looking at her and laughing, she turned around angrily, but she couldn't catch any of the "current", so she had to bang on the door hard, and everyone laughed because of the good soundproofing in Chen Yi's office.

With her back against the door, Bai Yuyuan shrugged her shoulders, glaring at Chen Yi angrily like a bull looking at a matador, looking like she was about to lift her desk, "Chen Yi, don't you think it's cheap to do this kind of thing behind your back?" she gritted her teeth and asked.

"What are you talking about?" Chen Yi was really confused, she said curiously, "Mr. Bai, the anger is so big, is it because the air conditioning in your office is not enough? Or ask your assistant to help you buy a cup of iced coffee? By the way, has the company arranged an assistant for you?"

"Don't pretend to be stupidβ€”" Bai Yuyuan rushed to her desk, slapped her hands hard, and asked viciously, "Why do you want to make a small report? Do I have a boyfriend that you need to take care of?" Why do you want to tell Li Qizhi?"

"Oh, you mean this......" Chen Yi narrowed her eyes, it seemed that Li had questioned Bai Yuyuan, and the two of them might not have had a good time, she smiled and said, "What is the shocking secret that you have a boyfriend?

Bai Yuyuan sneered, and said in a weird manner: "Chen Yi, isn't your purpose in doing this just to see that I am rising fast? Everyone is a woman, you don't have to pretend to be stupid, you can sit in this position, and the process will not be very glorious. ”

"Prostitutes, don't use your routines to set women all over the world, we are all ordinary working women, an old aunt who earns money by sweat in the open, unlike you who only take shortcuts and can't endure hardships, the process of me sitting in this position is because it is too glorious, so I left room for you to secretly Chen Cang. Chen Yi's body leaned forward, his eyes were shining with cold light, and he smiled coldly like a female leopard playing with her prey, "Since Li Qizhi raised this little question can provoke you like this, you also pay him a respect, you ask him, have you ever proposed to anyone, and then he was rejected? You also shaved his face." ”

The hint in these words is too obvious, and the man she Chen Yi doesn't want is Bai Yuyuan's turn.

"You-you-" Bai Yuyuan pointed at her, slurred due to emotional disorder, "Okay, wow, you, Chen Yi, don't think I don't know that you and Bai Qi used to be a couple, don't you just want to force me to break up with him?"

Chen Yi fell back into his huge boss chair and said lightly: "Yes, so Li is happy, and you are also happy, everyone is happy." ”

Bai Yuyuan turned around and took two steps, and suddenly turned around, as if she wanted to smooth out the evil qi in her body with this action, she controlled her facial expression not to be too hideous, glared at Chen Yi and said: "I guessed it, wishful thinking is good, tell you, impossible, Bai Qi is my man." ”

"Oh, if it's really your manβ€”" Chen Yiwan smiled, "you summoned it to show me." ”
