Chapter 326, that summer
On the night of July 7th, it rained heavily.
Zuo Cang'er, who had already gone to bed, heard the mobile phone ringing, so he sat up reflexively and reached out to take the phone.
Zuo Cang'er now lives in the gilded apartment near the company, which is a key apartment building in the high-tech zone, specially built for the white-collar workers who come to work and live in the high-tech zone, focusing on the concept of exquisite, comfortable and fashionable, from the construction area to the decoration style to the supporting facilities, are in the forefront of the city. It does attract a lot of white-collar workers to work in the high-tech zone, but most of them are renting houses, and very few are buying houses.
Zuo Cang'er's house is rented, one bedroom and one living room, he thinks it is very good.
Zuo Cang'er is Li He's direct senior brother in college, and in the Jiayuan Group, Zuo Cang'er is also an old man, in fact, he has only graduated for a year. He can get a monthly salary of more than 5,000 now, which is definitely the top salary that many people envy in the inland city of Guangyin City in 2002, not to mention that he has only graduated from college for a year. However, compared with his monthly salary, his current status and development potential in the company is the most enviable, as the boss's chief secretary, his role and status in the company is no less than that of the CEO of a subsidiary.
Zuo Cang'er doesn't have a girlfriend now, and he has a crush on a girl in college, and he has never dared to confess. Some time ago, I met by chance, but the girl came to chat and eat with him very enthusiastically, Zuo Cang'er wasn't sure if she had hinted that they could have the next step, but after dinner, Zuo Cang'er took the initiative to say goodbye to his former crush.
Time has passed, and Zuo Cang'er's tossing and turning heart has calmed down a lot. At the same time, after more than a year of experience, his eyes are also much sharper, that day he found that the girl was not so enthusiastic about him at the beginning, she first recognized the brand of the suit Zuo Cang'er wore, and then saw the car key of the Audi A6 he carried, and then saw the mobile phone and watch he used...... In fact, when the girl hinted at the next step when the dinner was about to end, Zuo Cang'er's heart collapsed......
That's the goddess of the past.
The changes in the goddess made Zuo Cang'er clearly realize that in the time when there was only youth and dreams, the goddess turned a blind eye to his hints again and again, and there was nothing strange about it, but she knew better what she should do. Even in the company, there are more than one or two female colleagues who are quite interesting to him, but now he has no idea about that at all except for doing a good job.
This is also the reason why Li He chose him, Zuo Cang'er is not very old, but he is very sober, and he is more thoughtful and steady in doing things, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is Li He's right-hand man now.
For example, now, although Zuo Cang'er has been busy all day and has just taken a shower and fallen asleep, he immediately realizes that he has something to do with a phone call. He has two cell phones, and the one that is ringing is the number that only a limited number of people know.
It seems that the caller ID is Zhao Jinzhu.
Zuo Cang'er didn't gossip about Zhao Jinzhu's identity like other people in the company, but Zhao Jinzhu shared a lot of his work during the time he came to intern, so Zuo Cang'er had a good impression of this girl. Therefore, he answered the phone and didn't ask what was going on, and after answering "It's me", he waited for Zhao Jinzhu to say something.
"Mr. Li's meeting tomorrow will be canceled, the trip to the capital the day after tomorrow will be canceled, and all the trips will be canceled in the next week to ten days. ”
This is a big event, Zuo Cang'er's heart skipped a beat, and at that moment he had an inexplicable and unspeakable worry, if the person who made a big deal was Li He, to be honest, this newly formed homeland group could collapse in an instant. Li He is not the second generation, he is the founder of the country, and now the development momentum of the entire group is very rapid, and several fronts go hand in hand, but all these momentum are inseparable from Li He's existence.
Zhao Jinzhu was still talking, and Zuo Cang'er also came back to his senses.
"The company's new two Ford E350 Li always want to requisition, send a full-time driver, and, immediately to the United States Sister Li Di to book a return ticket and a return to the provincial capital, send someone to the airport to wait, Li Di sister off the plane, directly on the highway, back to Xinyang City. ”
"Mr. Li's grandfather passed away. ”
In fact, at the last moment, Zuo Cang'er was obviously relieved, and then he maintained his calm efficiency, and immediately arranged manpower and completed all the work in place as soon as possible.
Li He's grandfather passed away, and when Li He received Mia's call, his father Li Jie's phone was still turned off, and it was estimated that he was on some other task. At that time, Li He was watching a movie with Mulberry, and after receiving a call from Mia, Li He was ready to send Mulberry home and drive back to Faith City by himself.
Sang Quinoa looked at Li He's calm eyes with some panic that was not easy to hide, so he looked at him quietly and asked, "You send me home?
Li He looked at Sang Quinoa's clear eyes, reached out and took her into his arms, and said in a suppressed voice: "I said the wrong thing, it's not me who sent you home, it's you who go home with me." Mulberry, that year in the old house, grandparents liked you very much. ”
Sang Quinoa leaned his head on Li He's shoulder and whispered, "I know, I miss them too, I miss that old house." Let's go, I'll drive, you sit on the side and take a good rest. "Mulberry has been getting her driver's license for more than a year, and Li He left the Wrangler with her.
Li He's heartwarming proposal to Mulberry was to nod his head and not say anything more.
The highway from the provincial capital to the city of faith has not yet been completely repaired, and the whole trip will take about 5 hours, and now it is night, Li He drove back alone, whether it was his mood or physical state, it was difficult to guarantee that there would be no problems. With mulberry quinoa to help him share the burden, at least he can sit aside and organize his thoughts.
In fact, in Li He's previous life, his grandfather died in the summer of his freshman year. His rebirth changed many things, especially in their grandchildren. The eldest brother Li Jun, who was originally prodigal and unadultly, is now the leading boss of the taxi industry in Faith City, and he originally returned to a half-dead hospital in his hometown after graduating from college, and Li Di, the second brother who didn't even find a decent object, was admitted to graduate school and studied abroad, of course, the biggest change is Li He himself, as well as the third Li Hao, and the fourth Li Mo...... The whole grandchildren, everyone is very promising.
Perhaps it is because of the grandchildren's appearance that the atmosphere of their whole family is very harmonious, and grandpa is also affected by this, and he lives happily for a few more years.
But in the end, I can't keep it.
Sang Quinoa drove, and he didn't dare to always turn his head to look at Li He, so he could only find a car in front of him when he was driving more steadily, and stretched out his hand and shook Li He's hand. Li He's hands have always been warm, but at this moment, Sang Quinoa felt a little cold on his fingertips.
"Li He. Mulberry screamed, a little heartbroken, and thought of the old house when he saw his grandfather, the old man didn't have to look at his watch every day, he went to the mountains on time, and came back on time, and he didn't talk much, but he could give her and Ji Xiao some sweet and sour wild fruits in the mountains. It was the most delicious wild fruit that Mulberry had ever eaten in his life, and thinking about it, Mulberry's eyes couldn't help but get wet.
Instead, Li He patted Sang Quinoa's hand and said that he was fine, so he remembered to take out the phone. Because he went on a movie date with Sang Quinoa today, he gave Zhao Jinling a holiday, so he called Zhao Jinling first and asked her to meet Zhao Jinzhu, pick up Li He's mother Qiao Chu, and then pick up Mia and Li Chun. Dad couldn't be contacted for the time being, so he had to wait for him to get the news and rush over by himself.
Then he called Zhao Jinzhu again and asked her to contact Zuo Cang'er to arrange the company's affairs. After Zhao Jinzhu got the news, he immediately got in touch with Zuo Cang'er, and Zuo Cang'er also immediately arranged a car to pick up Li Hao, who was the secretary on the south bank of the high-tech zone, and Li Weiding, who went out to travel, to return the ticket, Li He's cousin Li Mo is also in the provincial capital now, so he picked it up with Li Hao. After dealing with the boss's private affairs, Zuo Cang'er called the important leaders of the company again, and after the meeting tomorrow to make arrangements, the leaders of various departments will also attend the funeral.
Li He was a little confused at first, but as things were arranged one by one, a thick sadness gradually spread in his heart. The tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop, the son wants to raise but does not wait, originally thought that rebirth could do a lot of things and change a lot of things, but in the end he still couldn't hold back the footsteps of his grandfather leaving. In his previous life, a year or two after his grandfather's death, his grandmother also passed away, the old house in the countryside gradually fell into disuse, and the relatives at home gradually became less and less moving, and finally one day, the old house collapsed on a rainy night, and from that day on, they all became homeless outcasts.
At this time, the rain fell a little heavier, and Li He said to Sang Quinoa: "I'll come, the rain is heavy, you have less experience, I'm fine." ”
Sang Quinoa saw that Li He was really calmed down a lot, so she changed positions with Li He and sat in the passenger seat, she remembered and said, "I'm in a hurry, I didn't bring anything." "The important thing is that she wore a brightly colored dress, which at the funeral was undoubtedly inappropriate.
Li He said: "It doesn't matter, Jin Zhu knows that we are together, and she will consider these things." When you get to the county, go to the uncle's house to find a set of second sister's clothes to change into. ”
Sang Quinoa glanced at Li He and said, "Jin Zhu is very good, at a young age, he can be of great help by your side." ”
For Zhao Jinzhu, Sang Quinoa doesn't know what kind of attitude she should have, she never suspects that there is any improper relationship between Zhao Jinzhu and Li He, and she never even suspects that there are any ambiguous feelings between them, but to say that she doesn't mind Zhao Jinzhu's special existence by Li He's side at all, it is impossible. Especially when she knew that Zhao Jinzhu had lived with Li He's mother Qiao Chu for the past few years, they got along like a family, but they were not really a family after all. She herself has also gotten along with Zhao Jinzhu, and with a woman's intuition, she knows that Zhao Jinzhu likes Li He, and she can only use Zhao Jinzhu to excuse herself by being a high school girl.
But after the college entrance examination, it seems that overnight, Zhao Jinzhu grew up, she went to Li He's company and became Li He's secretary as an intern. But as soon as she entered the role of secretary, she showed a very good ability, and the university she was admitted to was also more professional training to continue this role, and when she graduated from college, she will definitely become a very important role next to Li He. Even in the past few years of college, it has become the norm for her to go to school and work beside Li He at the same time.
They have nothing now, but what about later?
In fact, Sang Quinoa didn't know that Zhao Jinzhu didn't need to do this job, she didn't need that salary, because she had the original shares of Jiayuan Pharmaceutical, and she was now worth millions. But whether Mulberry knows this detail or not, in fact, it doesn't matter. She just thinks that now Zhao Jinzhu can play a great role by Li He's side, and looking at herself, it doesn't seem to be of much help to Li He.
Mulberry has always hated a woman for nothing but beauty, but think about herself now, isn't it a bit like a vase?
Mulberry was a little unhappy.
Of course, she won't tell Li He about this, and now is definitely not the time to say these things.
But Li He drove the car with one hand, and held Mulberry's hand tightly with the other, he held it very hard, and even pinched Mulberry's knuckles a little white, but Mulberry heard Li He say in a burst of pain: "Mulberry, if you leave me, Mulberry is still Mulberry, and she is still that proud and beautiful girl." But you know, if my world was without you, I would doubt that my existence was real. ”
This is not a love story, for Li He, mulberry is a vital coordinate after his rebirth. Because his original life has no intersection with mulberry, with mulberry by his side, he can be sure that his life is real. Originally, Ji Liao was also his coordinates, but he had seen Ji Liao's previous life, so Ji Liao had no life, and for Li He, it was also full of an uncertain illusion. Of course, the existence of Zhao Jinzhu also has the meaning of coordinates, but the same words can no longer be said to more people.
This sentence was not a love word, but it made Sang Quinoa's heart soft and painful, she knew that this was a little unsafe, but she still rested her head on Li He's shoulder, soaking a large piece of his clothes, and then she felt better.
"Li He," Sang Quinoa said sadly, "when Grandpa's mourning period is over, will we still live in the old house for a while?" I like it there, I like to watch you chop wood, I like the lack of light filaments there, I like to look at the wooden wall with big gaps at night, and I like the wind blowing from sunset to dawn. Most of all, I love being there with you. I even hope that Ji Xiao will come back too, as long as it's there, in that old house, I don't mind the three of us staying together. ”
Li He remembered the summer of that year, which was the most beautiful time for the three of them. During that time, they were far away from materialistic desires and close to their souls.
But Ji Xiao, Ji Xiao's exchange study should also be over, right? Has she returned to China? Is she in the capital now, or is she back in the City of Faith? After separating from the UK, they haven't seen each other for a year, has she become more beautiful?
Li He didn't stay in Faith City, and of course he didn't inquire about Ji Xiao's news, and when he arrived in Faith City, his eldest brother Li Jun was already waiting there. After driving all night, the main reason was that he was in a lot of mood all the time, Li He finally couldn't hold it anymore, so he took the eldest brother's newly bought BMW 520 and went directly to the county, ate something at the eldest brother's house, hugged and slept for two hours, changed into the clothes prepared for them by his sister-in-law, and went directly to Zhuchun Township.
