Chapter 19: Apologies
Two days later, Shen Yuxi got off work, and as soon as he walked out of the company's gate, he saw Fang Jidong standing not far away, with his hands in his pockets, leaning on the body.
He was tall, good-looking, and drove a luxury car, so almost everyone couldn't help but stop. Shen Yuxi glanced at him, thinking that he was looking for Mr. Jin again, so he didn't care and continued to walk towards the bus stop.
It wasn't until Francis walked up behind her and called her name that she looked back in a panic that people who had just finished work were looking at them, and she seemed to hear some people whispering.
"You're here to find me?" Shen Yuxi's face was full of question marks, and he couldn't understand why he was calling her in front of everyone.
"I have something to say to you. Fang Jidong was very calm, but she was nervous, as if she was facing a great enemy. As she can imagine, tomorrow she will probably be the company's after-dinner conversation.
Shen Yuxi hurriedly got into the car with Fang Jidong, she didn't want to be watched like a clown.
Fastening his seatbelt, Fang Jidong started the car and asked, "What do you want to eat?"
"Are you going to invite me to dinner?"
"Well, can't you?"
She pondered for a moment, "You can at least inform me in advance, what if I don't have time?"
"I came here to do some errands, and when it was over, you happened to be at work time, so you came over. If you're not available, I'll just leave. Of course, you have the best time. The corners of Fang's mouth were curled, and there was a smile in his eyes.
The restaurant is chosen by Francis, a Shanghainese restaurant. I've heard Su Zhi talk about it before, the braised pork and eight-treasure duck here are very authentic, but Su Zhi is losing weight and rarely comes to eat, and I always feel that it is a pity to miss such a delicacy.
Shen Yuxi has always eaten little for dinner, and the plate of braised pork that came up, with thick oil and red sauce, is very beautiful in color. Although she was salivating, she only ate two pieces of rice and didn't use her chopsticks much.
"Isn't it to your taste, why do you eat so little?" asked Fang Jidong as he put down his chopsticks.
"Eating too much at night is not good for digestion. Shen Yuxi replied seriously.
"Your stomach doesn't seem to be very good, you have so many stomach pills at home. ”
"The digestion is not very good, sometimes it is inevitable to make trouble, it is not a big deal, just be careful when eating. She said lightly.
"You must take care of it well, so as not to have a big problem in the future. ”
Shen Yuxi didn't seem to want to talk about this topic, so he just nodded and changed the topic: "You said that you had something to say to me, did you just invite me to dinner?"
Fang Jidong picked up the napkin on the table and wiped his mouth and then his fingers very seriously. She watched his movements, and felt that he was focused and elegant, and seemed to be well-educated, and she couldn't imagine how chaotic his private life would be, and a man like him should have a habit of cleanliness.
"I apologize to you for that. Francis was solemn and sincere.
Shen Yuxi didn't react for a while, but after two seconds, she understood: "Liu Feng's matter, you don't have to apologize to me, I'm not very angry." I can't understand why you're doing this, but I choose to trust you. ”
Shen Yuxi chose to believe him, which made him feel happy. He didn't know how to explain it to her for a while, because he really did it for his own self-interest, and he broke his trust in front of her. She may not be able to understand that running a large company, if the cost can save hundreds of millions, for the company, the benefits are huge, and he has no reason to refuse.
"Looks like I should have invited you to dinner a long time ago, and I wouldn't have been upset for many days. ”
"You invited the wrong person for this meal, you should apologize to Su Zhi. She has been so angry these days, and she sends me messages every day to complain about you. ”
He laughed: "She has a lot of temperament and a lot of forgetfulness, and she will forget it all in a few days." Why should I waste money on my meal, I will only be scolded if I invite me to come. ”
"Are you short of a meal?" Shen Yuxi asked funny.
"It's not bad, of course, but it's just right. Fang Jidong smiled.
"Then you invited me to dinner, did you use it just right?"
"Of course, there are beautiful women to accompany them, and they are gentle and kind. Obviously, I did something wrong, not only was I angry, but I was relieved in turn, and I felt that it was a good deal. He said it seriously, but Shen Yuxi only thought he was joking.
After eating, Francis sent her home, and they didn't talk much along the way. He drove intently, and when Shen Yuxi was full, he was prone to sleepiness. She dragged her face gently closer to the car window, her eyes misty. Fang Jidong seemed to turn his head to look at her, and after a while asked, "Are you sleepy?" ”
She sat up slightly straight and smiled embarrassedly: "No, I'll be home soon." ”
After a while, he asked again, "Are you free on Saturday?"
Shen Yuxi turned his head to look at him: "Is there something wrong?"
"There's something I'd like to ask you for. Still staring earnestly ahead, he replied lightly.
"May I ask what's going on?"
Fang Jidong glanced at her and smiled: "Can you keep it secret first?"
"I don't know what's going on, how can I promise to help?" she tilted her head to look at him, "I always think you have some kind of conspiracy." ”
"Just say yes, there's nothing bad for you. He stopped the car suddenly, and she looked out of the car to see that she was already downstairs.
Francis looked at her, as if expecting her answer. She really had nothing to do on the weekend, and after thinking about it, he would never sell her. For the sake of his hospitality today, he nodded in agreement.
Just as he was about to get out of the car, Fang Jidong took out a small paper bag from the back seat of the car and handed it to Shen Yuxi.
She took it for some reason: "What is it?"
"I still have to apologize to you, it's my gift of atonement. ”
"No, you've already invited me to dinner, so you don't have to spend so much money. Shen Yuxi waved his hand and refused.
"Don't be too busy saying no, just open it and take a look. Fang Jidong said with a smile.
As a courtesy, she pulled out a box from her bag, which was delicate. When I opened it, there was a pair of diamond stud earrings, the style was very ordinary, but the two diamonds were big enough, and the flashing light was weirdly bright in the night light.
Shen Yuxi closed the box in a panic: "I can't accept such a valuable gift, you don't need to feel guilty about me." ”
"How can you recycle the gifts you gave out? It's already been given to you, if you don't like it, you can dispose of it yourself." Francis looked at her with a smile.
She was very helpless, looked at Fang Jidong a few times, thought for a while and said, "Do you also have ear piercings?" Then I can transfer them to you again." ”
Fang Jidong was amused by her words: "These are women's earrings, how can I wear them?"
"That's good for Su Zhi. ”
"She has a gift, and I have asked my assistant to send it, and she is very happy to say that she has forgiven me. ”
"But if it doesn't work, I still can't take it. ”
"You forgot, promised to do me a favor over the weekend, count me as thanking you in advance. ”
"But ......"
"No, let's go back and get some rest. Fang Jidong simply interrupted her, and she had to get out of the car in silence.
Back at home, she turned on her computer to look up the stud earrings. She always felt that the value of the studs sent by Fang Jidong must not be ordinary. The brand is Cartier, which is actually a limited edition. After seeing the quote, her heart almost stopped, and even her breathing became heavy. The rich man's shot is really extraordinary, and the clothes and jewelry in her entire house are not as expensive as these studs. She wrapped the hot potato in a drawer and locked it up, and gave it back to him when she had a chance.
