Chapter 50: Gentle Mr. Chung
Zhong Nanshu stayed in Jiangcheng for a week, and he stayed in the branch except for sleeping for a week.
It wasn't until the eighth day, when the head of the new branch arrived, that he was relieved.
In the evening, in order to welcome the new leader, the branch booked a table in a well-known restaurant in Beicheng.
Zhong Nanshu was naturally the first to be invited, and in order to save face for the new person in charge, he agreed.
As soon as everyone heard that the big boss was going to have dinner with them, especially those single girls, they were happy and excited one by one, and some even secretly ran out to do their hair and makeup, looking forward to leaving a good impression on the president in the evening.
After getting off work at half past six in the afternoon, a group of people went to the restaurant in advance.
Zhong Nanshu left late, and took a car with the new person in charge, Ke Xiao, accompanied by Meng Nan and Qin Jiadi.
The restaurant is located in the center of the city, right near the hotel where Zhong Nanji is staying.
The box is booked in advance and is the largest box in the restaurant, which can accommodate 50 people.
The dinner party started at half past seven, and at first because of the presence of Zhong Nanji and the new person in charge, everyone was still very reserved and restrained, but as soon as they drank the wine, they immediately revealed their original form.
There were even many girls who came to Zhong Nanshu with wine glasses.
Tonight's Zhong Nanshu seems to be in a good mood, and he does not refuse to toast the girls.
After a night, I was a little drunk.
He left early, and Xiao Ke wanted to see him off, but he refused.
"I drank a lot tonight, the hotel is opposite, I walked back, just to dissipate the smell of alcohol. ”
"Then slow down on your way. ”
"Well, tonight is your game, have fun. ”
"Mr. Xie Zhong. ”
Zhong Nanshu got out of the box, didn't take the elevator, and walked slowly down the stairs.
Halfway through, he heard a familiar voice......
He thought he was drunk and had auditory hallucinations, but when he continued down and went down to the first floor, he saw the man.
She was on the phone, not knowing who she was talking to, the corners of her lips were slightly raised, and her delicate face was smiling.
That smile made Zhong Nanji stop in an instant.
He was afraid to alarm her.
Wouldn't she laugh a little longer?
......
Today is the birthday of a colleague who came to Jiangcheng with Su Mian.
My colleague booked the birthday dinner at a restaurant near the hotel, and after getting off work, the three of them came over together.
Halfway through the meal, Su Mian received a call from Yu Miao.
There are a lot of people eating in the hall, and it is too noisy.
She took her phone and walked all the way to the fire escape......
It was quiet here, and she listened to Yu Miao complaining to her over there, "You have been gone for half a month, and my stomach has been abused by me for half a month, and I finally succeeded in losing five pounds." ”
Su Mian couldn't help but smile, "It seems that I really can't make good food for you in the future, otherwise I will become the biggest stumbling block on your way to losing weight." ”
Yu Miao wailed over there, "No, I'd rather die of fat than eat takeout anymore." ”
During the time that Su Mian left, except for occasionally going home or eating and drinking in her own restaurant, she ordered takeout for the rest.
Beicheng's takeaway was almost eaten by her.
I almost threw up.
Su Mian, "You should always learn to do a little bit by yourself, otherwise you will get married in the future, and you will not be disliked by your husband?"
"Who dislikes me? Captain Gu? He won't dislike me. ”
Su Mian was aroused by her words, "Hey, you tell me honestly, that night, you and your Captain Gu ......"
"Oh I'm so sleepy, I'm going to sleep, bye-bye. ”
"Oh I ......"
Before Su Mian finished speaking, he hung up directly.
She listened to the busy sound of 'beep' in the microphone and smiled helplessly.
Putting away his phone, he was about to leave, when he suddenly seemed to feel something, and suddenly looked up and looked at the stairs leading to the second floor.
The corridor was brightly lit, and Zhong Nanshu was standing on the steps not far from her.
Su Mian saw clearly at a glance that it was him, and the whole person was instantly stupid.
Zhong Nanji......
How did he end up here?
Su Mian thought that there was something wrong with his eyes, raised his hand, and rubbed it gently.
As soon as she rubbed her eyes, before she could withdraw her hand, she heard a low sneer.
Immediately, she heard the man say, "Stupid. ”
Su Mian suddenly withdrew her hand and looked at the man in front of her again, at this moment she had already recovered from the initial surprise and surprise.
Xiu's eyebrows frowned slightly, and she glared at him with some dissatisfaction, "Who do you say is stupid?"
Zhong Nanjun walked down with her feet up and stopped just a step away from her.
The difference in height between the two is too great.
Every time he stood in front of her, he had to bow his head and lower his eyes.
He looked at her, his gaze sliding from her forehead all the way to her lips, paused, and finally met her gaze again.
He asked, "What eyes?"
The voice is low and magnetic, perhaps because he has just drunk, and the magnetism is mixed with a bit of unspeakable hoarseness.
Su Mian's cheeks burned when he asked.
She looked away from him and looked to the side, "Surprised to see you here." ”
"I've been here for a week. ”
Su Mian turned his gaze back and looked at him, "On a business trip?"
"Something went wrong with the branch, it was a bit tricky. ”
Su Mian, "What's wrong?"
After asking, she regretted it a little.
It didn't seem like she should have asked.
She looked away a little uncomfortably, but heard him say, "There was a child laborer who died on the construction site, and now his family is going to sue me." ”
"Ah......" Su Mian didn't expect it to be so serious, she looked at Zhong Nanji's eyes with concern, "How is it now?"
"It's not over yet. ”
"What should I do then?" Su Mian was anxious for him, "Can't you lose money?"
Zhong Nanshu frowned tightly, raised his hand to stroke the corner of his forehead, and seemed to have a headache, "Just losing money won't work, his family is very difficult to entangle." ”
"What does his family want to do?"
"Paying for your life. ”
Su Mian, "......"
She looked at the man in front of her, keeping an eye on the expression on his face.
He looked miserable, tired and haggard......
It seems that he is not lying, and this time he is really in trouble.
It's just that she can't help.
As if seeing through the thoughts in her heart, Zhong Nanshu raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows while whispering, "Teacher Su, can you have a drink with me tonight." ”
I don't know if there are auditory hallucinations.
In his always low and cold voice, there was a hint of request.
Su Mian, "I ......"
She wanted to say she couldn't drink.
And with the experience of him bathing her after she got drunk.
She swore that she would never dare to drink in front of him again.
Zhong Nanji saw her hesitate, and he didn't force it anymore.
It seems that he doesn't even want to say goodbye, just lift his feet and leave.
When Su Mian saw that he was leaving, his expression suddenly became embarrassed.
Do you want to have a drink with him?
If he doesn't accompany him, will something happen to him?
After all, when he encountered such a big thing, and everyone familiar with him comforted him.
In the whole Jiangcheng, is she the only one he knows?
But if she accompanies her, her alcohol is .....
Seeing that Zhong Nanshu was about to walk out, Su Mian shouted at him in a hurry, "Hey, you wait." ”
Zhong Nanjun stopped.
But he didn't turn around, but stood there in the doorway, as if waiting for her to speak.
Su Mian chased after him and stood beside him.
She looked up at him, looking at his angular but tense face, with deep wrinkles between his eyebrows and the corners of his lips tightly pursed......
Seemingly, the mood is really bad.
Su Mian's heart moved, "You wait for me here, I'll go talk to my two colleagues, and then come to you." ”
Zhong Nanshu turned his head to look at her, his deep eyes narrowed slightly, "Are you sure?"
Su Mian was slightly stunned, not understanding why he would ask this.
"Don't you want to drink?"
"Not afraid?"
"I ......" Su Mian looked away uncomfortably and said softly, "I'm with you, I don't necessarily drink ....."
After speaking, she peeked at Zhong Nanji's reaction.
I thought that Zhong Nanshu would be a little unhappy when he heard her words.
Who knew that she actually saw the corners of his originally tightly pursed lips slowly raised, bringing out a beautiful arc.
Then she heard him say, "Okay, you stay with me." ”
The voice is low and magnetic, even with a rare hint of tenderness.
Su Mian, "......"
She felt like she was crazy.
Zhong Nanjun also has a gentle side?
Su Mian raised his eyes in disbelief, wanting to take a closer look.
was disappointed to find that everything just now was just his own illusion.
The man in front of him still had a light expression, exuding indifference and alienation from thousands of miles away.
All right.
Sure enough, she had auditory hallucinations.
......
Su Mian returned to the hall, said a word to the two colleagues and left.
Back to the staircase passage, Zhong Nanshu was still waiting there.
Hearing the movement, he glanced at her lightly, and then raised his feet and walked towards the exit.
Su Mian followed him, and the two of them walked out of the restaurant one after the other.
Walking to the side of the road, Su Mian wanted to reach out to stop the car, but was stopped by Zhong Nanshu on the side, "It's not far, let's go over." ”
"Oh. ”
The two walked one after the other.
It was still Zhong Nanji in front, and Su Mian followed behind.
He walked very slowly, and Su Mian also slowed down, following him like a walk, slowly walking forward.
As he walked, Su Mian felt that something was wrong.
Because Zhong Nanjun had to cross the street, and on the other side of the road, except for the hotel where he stayed, there were no taverns or bars for drinking.
Su Mian's heart tightened, seeing that Zhong Nanshu had already raised her feet and walked across the road, she didn't have time to think about it, so she directly reached out and grabbed his arm.
"Hey, where are you going?"
Zhong Nanshu not only did not stop, but also directly wrapped her little hand that grabbed his arm.
Without saying a word, he took her and walked across the road.
Su Mian's little energy was his opponent, and he was taken to the middle of the road by him so unexpectedly.
When he reacted, Su Mian struggled to break free of his big hand, and his little face turned red.
His big hands were hot, and she was ashamed and annoyed.
"Mr. Zhong," Su Mian's tone suddenly cooled down, "you let go of me." ”
Zhong Nanshu didn't look at her, and walked straight to the opposite side of her.
He has long legs and big feet, and he walks with a big stride.
Took Su Mian and staggered.
Seeing that he was silent, Su Mian struggled vigorously, and he didn't care if he was in the middle of the road.
Seeing that the red light was about to turn on, Zhong Nanshu glanced back at her and let go of the big hand that was tightly wrapped around her......
Su Mian was overjoyed, and he turned around and wanted to run.
But in the next second, he was directly stopped and picked up.
