As the weather gets colder and a strong wind on Wednesday sweeps away the last leaves, winter seems to be coming. I changed Nuan Nuan into a thicker coat and asked Sister Li to take her to kindergarten. By the way, he sent a text message to Zhao Yijing: "Spare thick coat, it's changed today." ”

Soon his phone came, and his voice was tired: "Haven't gone to work yet?"

I looked at the time, and it was only past seven o'clock: "I'll leave right away." What about you, are you still home?" he should have just gotten up so early.

"Company, last night was another night. His voice was a little hoarse, "You wear yourself a little more." There was a knock on the door on the other end of the phone, and he said, "Come in." "It's so busy early in the morning, it seems that it's a big project. I hung up the phone.

Walking out the door, the feeling was stronger than in the house, and a sneeze hit. I'm a little worried about him, it's so cold today, although there are cars in and out, but there is always a time to walk two steps, in case you need to walk a little more in case of special circumstances, it is easy to get sick. I took a taxi to Houhai, I had the key to his house, went to his closet to get a thick coat, and went to the door of Si Zhiheng.

Let the driver stop and wait for me for a while, I gave him clothes and left. I called him: "Yijing, I'm at your door, is it convenient for you to come out?"

He was stunned for a moment on the other side of the phone, and then said softly, "Okay." ”

After a while, his steady figure walked over, his steps were a little tired, and when he was almost at the door, he looked around. I couldn't help but laugh at how tired and stupid he was, how could I be behind him.

I got out of the car and stood in front of him with my coat in my hand: "I'll send you a piece of clothing, don't catch a cold." As she spoke, she handed him her coat.

His body shook, and when he looked at me again, his eyes were deeply moved, and he said in a deep voice for a moment, "Thank you." ”

"Thanks for what. "I smile, I care about the person, I am used to treating him wholeheartedly and taking care of everything about him.

When he took the coat, he held my hand tightly, and his voice trembled slightly: "Qingyang, I'll be busy lately, you wait for me." "What I did was just the most ordinary concern, but his expression seemed to shake deeply.

"Good. I smiled and pulled my hand out, "Go back, it's cold outside." As he spoke, he got into the car first, let the master go, and looked back, and he was also turning to go in.

Zhao Yijing was really busy, and until Friday, he didn't have time to ask me for dinner, but there would be a brief phone call or text message every day. Lao Deng and I were preparing to attend on Friday, and Lao Deng specially asked the little girl from the company to accompany her to the mall to choose a proper suit.

I also chose a black over-the-knee dress, which looked very formal, and deliberately chose a less revealing one, remembering that the previous royal blue dress was laughed at by Zhao Yijing and said that it was "not suitable", I still deliberately paid attention, and I didn't want to be laughed at by him again.

Friday soon arrived, and the inauguration ceremony of the project cooperation between Silk and Italy was officially held, and we could not see the official scene in the morning, but there was a report on the network and TV in the afternoon. There are also some leaders who usually see on TV who are also in attendance, and I think they attach great importance to it.

Lao Deng said excitedly: "I didn't expect such a big scene. Tsk, this time the silk is in the limelight enough. Turning to look at me, "The banquet in the evening must be a big battle, so we must take advantage of the opportunity." ”

I smiled at Lao Deng with some weakness: "Okay, I won't let go of the opportunity." ”

The banquet in the evening was set on the second floor of a top hotel, the venue was all-inclusive, and when Lao Deng and I went in with the invitation, we looked at the luxury cars downstairs, and our hearts felt like beating a small drum.

When they arrived at the entrance, Xiao Bin and another vice president, on behalf of Si Zhiheng, greeted the CEOs who came, saying thank you for their support and other politeness.

Seeing me and Lao Deng, Xiao Bin shook hands with Lao Deng and said to me, "You're welcome to you, I'll find someone to take you over." Lao Deng haha: "No, no, no." ”

I handed her two invitations and followed her to a seat by the door in the main hall. Xiao Bin took care of me and didn't arrange me to the staff restaurant on both sides.

Lao Deng looked at his seat a little embarrassed, looked at me and asked, "Mr. Zhao arranged this place for you?"

I rubbed my hands together and smiled: "I found another acquaintance, but I didn't expect it to be done, and I was embarrassed to find someone else. "We are surrounded by insiders, but the company will be smaller. For this kind of business banquet, the arrangement of seating order will also be very interesting, and who says that rank does not exist everywhere?

Therefore, in this society, it is not necessarily that people are born to be divided into 369 or 369, or to pursue 369, but the surrounding environment and various occasions remind you all the time where your rank and position should be.

At this point, Lao Deng had no choice, and an acquaintance of his happened to come next to him, and greeted him in surprise: "Are you here too?" According to the scale of Hexi, it is not easy to attend this kind of banquet.

Lao Deng's expression eased, and he said with a smile: "They are all friends, help Mr. Zhao make a scene." The person who said a sentence was almost in awe of him, I bit my lip and held back a smile, this old Deng is really slippery.

People came one after another, acquaintances greeted each other, but such a grand occasion, as well as a series of people such as cameras and photographs, the excitement and grandeur seemed to be deliberately made.

At half past seven, the core figures of the main table arrived one by one, and the eyes of the audience in an instant, all the cameras and photos were focused on the main table. There are three leaders who saw on the page in the afternoon, Zhao Xinru, the chairman of Si Zhiheng, and Zhao Xinjian, the director, with a young female dependent, who should be his wife, Zhao Yijing, and a pair of men and women, I don't know what their identities are, and the one on this table should be the most VIP figure in the audience.

And when these characters arrived, the atmosphere became a little serious. After the host invited the leader to speak, the chairman spoke, and then announced the official start of the banquet.

I was too far away to occasionally catch a glimpse of Zhao Yijing. And several leaders at the main table had just eaten for more than ten minutes before they had already left the table, and they thought that they were just going to take a form to support the façade of Silk Zhiheng. More than half an hour later, Zhao Xinjian and Zhao Yijing, on behalf of Si Zhiheng, went to each table to toast. One cup per table, and then one by one to get to know everyone, soon to our table, Zhao Yijing saw me stunned for a moment, I pretended not to know him, picked up the wine glass in my hand and bowed my head.

Zhao Xinjian noticed me, looked at me and thought slightly: "Are you? ”

I had to answer: "Mr. Zhao, I saw you in Nanjing when I was still in Sizhiheng before. ”

"Oh, yes, yes, yes. Zhao Xinjian suddenly said with a smile: "Where is Gao now?"

"Hexi, this is our boss. "I hurriedly pushed Lao Deng out. Lao Deng couldn't help but be busy handing Zhao Xinjian a business card. Zhao Xinjian politely took it.

After the host's toast ended, the atmosphere was a little more lively, everyone at each table began to know each other, handed over business cards, and Lao Deng said to me: "Let's go and toast." As he spoke, he looked at the main table, "Go to the main table first." ”

My scalp tingled: "Why don't you go yourself?" ”

"I'm going to pour me a drink. The waiters are busy. Lao Deng looked at me and smiled, "If you come, you will be safe, let's go." As he spoke, he handed me the wine dispenser, "Don't be nervous later." ”

I hesitated and struggled for a long time, thinking that he had seen it, so I followed Lao Deng to the main table without face or skin, I just stood up, but I saw another girl in a black dress walking towards the main table, leaning over and whispering something to Zhao Yijing, looking very intimate.

After finishing speaking, Zhao Xinjian's wife also beckoned her to come over, as if she was telling her something, this woman who suddenly appeared suddenly became the focus of the audience, how could the various cameras let go of such a lively scene, the flash crackled non-stop. The people around me at the table were also talking, "Who's that?" and "It doesn't look like a staff member." "Who from the Zhao family?"

As soon as I stood there with Lao Deng, my face instantly turned pale, and my hands and feet began to tremble, Lao Deng looked at me for a long time and said, "I can't see clearly, that person, why is he a little like Yao Qinglian?"

I didn't say anything, that figure, I could recognize it from such a distance, it was Yao Qinglian. After Mrs. Zhao Xinjian finished speaking, Qinglian took Zhao Xinjian out of the side door. Only Zhao Xinru, Mrs. Zhao Xinjian, and the pair of men and women, as well as Zhao Yijing, were left at the main table. There were other guests who went to toast.

Lao Deng looked at me and said, "Maybe I'm dazzled, let's go." "My heart is tasteless entangled, is this an official announcement? Or is it what? I didn't see it just now, presumably Qinglian was sitting at a table next to the main table, this kind of banquet, except for the VIP at the main table, that is, Xiao Bin and other vice presidents do the reception, and Yao Qinglian didn't do the reception, her identity, is it the host?

I don't know how I moved my steps to the main table, and the other toasters had just left, leaving only the host, looking at the people at the table, I was strangely desperate. Zhao Yijing looked at me, his brows tightened. Before Lao Deng opened his mouth, Qinglian had already returned, and when she saw me and Lao Deng stunned for a moment, she immediately smiled: "Sister, Lao Deng, you are here." He turned to Mrs. Zhao Xinjian and said, "Uncle said that he would contact you later." ”

Qinglian called Uncle Zhao Xinjian, my hands shook violently, and the wine dispenser shook back and forth. And Mrs. Zhao Xinjian was also full of surprise, looked at me up and down, and turned to look at Qinglian: "This is your sister?" The others were very surprised.

"Yes, my distant sister, Qingyang. Qinglian introduced.

The couple of men and women said coldly: "How do you look like a shampoo?"
