Chapter 34: What to do without you?
At the end of the year, the breath of winter gradually enveloped Shanghai. The DK office building is fully heated, and it is the busiest time of the year.
The entire company's budget team began to review the number of drafts, the year-end sales target sprint, the purchasing department, the marketing department, and the operation department jointly planned the marketing plan, and grouped the stores in each region for inspection and support, and focused on resource tilting and support for stores with greater pressure on the index gap. The business sales team follows up daily, forms a work report every week and sends it to the operation department, with a copy to the general manager's office.
The general manager is busy in various meetings, such as partners' strategy meetings, discussion meetings, cooperation direction exchange meetings, and of course, the annual meeting of the end of the year, every year. With the development of the company's business, there are more and more negotiations and entertainments that need to be spoken, and this year is different from the past, Yanxin is three months pregnant, which is a big challenge for pregnant mothers in the workplace.
"Mr. Yan, drink a glass of milk to warm your stomach."
Yan Xin, who was holding his forehead with one hand, raised his head when he heard the sound, looked at Mr. Zhou who was approaching, and asked, "Mr. Zhou, how did you send it in?" What about Xiao Wu? β
"I happened to run into her before I came in, so I stopped by", Mr. Zhou sat down on the sofa next to Yan Xin and looked at Yan Xin, "Mr. Yan, running around in the past two days, can your body stand it?" For the banquet in the evening, find a reason to push it off, just leave it to me and Lao Zhao to deal with. β
Yanxin smiled and shook his head, "I have been dealing with their company for a year, and I know myself and the other, Liu is always a good-faced person, and at the afternoon meeting, we have been working step by step." No matter what reason I don't go at night, it will embarrass him, and there is no need for that. β
"That's what I said, but when my body can't bear it, I must not be strong."
"Yes", he replied softly, "I will pay attention." β
Qiao Jin was a little absent-minded from the beginning, everyone said that the leader had to work as hard and seriously as he was away, but the news of Mr. Zhou's return to the company would still spread in the department as soon as possible, and the leader's sense of existence was bound to be strong for employees. It's just that Qiao Jin is concerned about the bigger boss who is with Mr. Zhou!
Qiao Jin got up with the water cup and walked out, and went to the pantry to rest properly.
Director Xiaowen came over with the materials, only to see Qiao Jin's back walking away, and asked his colleagues on the side, "Qiao Jin is off work?" β
"No, the bag is still here, maybe I'm going to pour water."
"But our pantry doesn't go that way...... Forget it, wait for her to come back, let her read this material, and feel free to come to me if she has any questions. β
In the DK company where there is a pantry in the office area on each floor, Qiao Jin took the elevator with an empty cup, found the one she wanted to go to with a little purpose, put down the cup and poured coffee.
"Master Shen, when are you coming back?"
The middle-aged uncle who was sitting on the sofa watching the news on his mobile phone looked up when he heard the sound, saw Qiao Jin, and said with a smile, "It's Xiao Qiao, I just came back from Yan, sit and take a breath." β
Qiao Jin picked up Master Shen's teacup and added hot water, "Master Shen, you look very tired." β
"It's like this at this time of year, and I'm fine, so I'm driving. The real tired is Mr. Yan, Mr. Yan is now heavy, so tired that he can fall asleep as soon as he gets in the car, but he has to go out at night, and he doesn't stop when he is tired. β
Qiao Jin frowned, "It's so hard, I've been on the road, can I eat well on time?" β
Master Shen took a sip of hot tea and sighed, "Mr. Yan's appetite is like a kitten eating food, everyone has lost weight, and he always says that he can't eat it." β
"Bad spirits will also affect her appetite, and she needs to rest."
Qiao Jin's tone was full of helplessness and distress, Master Shen looked at Qiao Jin and smiled, "Xiao Qiao, you care so much about Mr. Yan, Mr. Yan is definitely not thin on you." β
Qiao Jin was stunned for a moment, and then smiled, "It's that Mr. Yan is a good person, so she deserves to be good to her." β
Master Shen smiled and nodded in agreement with Qiao Jin's words, Qiao Jin shook the coffee in the cup, "Master Shen, will you send Mr. Yan home at night?" β
"Yes, that's a must, no matter how late."
"Can I come and visit? Chat with you. β
"Huh?" Master Shen looked at Qiao Jin in surprise, "Do you know how to play cards?" There are pokers in the car. β
Qiao Jin smiled and said nothing, went back to finish the finishing work, and got ready to get off work.
Buying natural ingredients on the way, Qiao Jin went into the kitchen as soon as he got home, and after finishing his dinner, he boiled something sweet and fragrant on a low fire, and the sound of "gurgling" boiling was very tempting.
Yan Xin changed into a dress suitable for dinner at home, touched her slightly bulging lower abdomen, Yan Xin looked at herself in the mirror, and the curve of this little life gave Yan Xin was more obvious. Yan Xin smiled slightly, took on his woolen coat, turned off the light and went out.
Shanghai has been shrouded in night, neon decorates the whole city gorgeous, Yan Xin looked at the endless street lamps outside the car window, yawned softly.
Master Shen turned up the heating in the car, "Mr. Yan, you can squint, I'll call you when it's time." β
"No need," Yan Xin said with a smile, "As soon as this lazy energy comes up, I can't socialize." β
"I said those company leaders, big men, why do you embarrass you like this? You know you're pregnant with a baby, don't you? β
"In the workplace, it is impossible for everyone to be a gentleman, and there are even fewer caring Shanghai men like Master Shen."
Master Shen smiled embarrassedly, "Mr. Yan, you are too awarded." β
Yanxin looked at Master Shen, "Your wife is also very virtuous, the fruits she prepared for you have been eaten by me in the past few days, remember to thank her for me, otherwise I won't be able to go." β
Master Shen didn't know how to answer the call all of a sudden, thinking of Qiao Jin, learning and using it now, "It's nothing, you are so good, so you deserve more people to be good to you." β
Yan Xin bent his eyebrows and smiled, "I only found out today that Master Shen is so good at complimenting people." β
Carrying a thermos cup, according to the address given by Master Shen, Qiao Jin arrived by subway. Finding the company's car in the parking lot, Qiao Jin knocked on the door.
"Qiao Jin, why are you so slow?"
"If it's early, the hawthorn tea I prepared for Mr. Yan will be cold", Qiao Jin got into the car and handed the thermos cup in his hand to Master Shen, "Please, the dinner should be over soon, right?" β
"Mr. Yan will call me when he comes out", Master Shen took Qiao Jin's thermos cup and took care of it, "Qiao Jin, you don't leave your name as a good person, but Mr. Yan thanked me vigorously, which made me very embarrassed." β
Qiao Jin smiled, "Master Shen, you are originally a good person, so don't be embarrassed." As for the playing cards, I'll play two games with you. β
"You won't be able to ...... the cards of adults"
Qiao Jin raised his eyebrows, pretending to be dissatisfied, "Master Shen, if you dislike it, then I'll go back first." β
"Don't", Master Shen grabbed Qiao Jin, "It's too boring to be alone, start to start, I'll shuffle the cards." β
The hour hand had turned to nine o'clock, and Master Shen had not received a call from Yanxin for a long time. Because of worry, Qiao Jin's mood gradually became heavy, and he didn't play his cards anymore.
"Qiao Jin, why don't you go in and have a look?"
"Huh?"
Master Shen took the playing cards aside, looked at Qiao Jin and said, "I see you're worried about Mr. Yan, just go in and see if they're almost over?" Or, you are so smart that you find a reason for Mr. Yan to get out and go first, what do you say? β
At the business party, Qiao Jin had some concerns, "Is it okay?" β
"It depends on whether you want to or not, and whether you can find a reason not to offend people, but also to speak out."
Qiao Jin was silent, and while he was thinking about it, Master Shen's mobile phone rang.
"Is it Mr. Yan?"
Master Shen picked up his phone and said with a smile, "It seems that you don't need to go out." β
Qiao Jin breathed a sigh of relief, "Master Shen, answer the phone quickly, I'm also ready to go home." β
"Hey, Mr. Yan, I'm in the parking lot...... What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? β
Qiao Jin turned his head to look at Master Shen, who was talking to Yanxin, and had a bad premonition.
"Okay, I'll drive over here, be careful."
As soon as the call ended, Qiao Jin asked anxiously, "Master Shen, what's wrong with Mr. Yan?" β
Master Shen started the car without delay, "Mr. Yan is in the bathroom, and his body is red...... I, I drove the car to the door of the hotel and wanted to take her to the hospital right away. β
Qiao Jin's eyes widened, and both hands pressed the car seat tightly, "Is there anyone with her?" β
"Doesn't seem to be, she said she came over herself......"
"How is that possible!" Qiao Jin shouted loudly, his heart was about to explode, "Master Shen, hurry up, hurry up!" β
As soon as the car stopped, Qiao Jin jumped down, pushed the heavy revolving door of the hotel in, and in a panic, he asked the front desk how many floors the dinner of a certain company was, and after confirming it, he immediately pressed the elevator. Qiao Jin clenched his hands, not wanting himself to tremble in panic.
Yanxin came out of the bathroom, leaned against the wall and walked slowly, taking a deep breath all the time, telling sΓΉ that he should be calm, and that he would be fine. However, the moist eyes are not because of helplessness, but fear, fear of being alone.
"Mr. Yan!" Qiao Jin saw Yan Xin leaning against the wall, ran over, held Yan Xin's wrist with one hand, and grabbed Yan Xin's shoulder with the other, "I'll take you to the hospital, it's okay, believe me!" β
Yanxin looked at Qiao Jin, opened his mouth, didn't say anything, and tears fell first. Qiao Jin took off his coat and draped it on Yanxin, put on a hat for Yanxin, Qiao Jin bent down, didn't know where the strength came from, hugged Yanxin horizontally, and walked quickly to the elevator.
Yan Xin leaned on Qiao Jin's shoulder, his cheeks flowing through tears, and coldly pressed against Qiao Jin's neck, Yan Xin reached out and wrapped his hand around Qiao Jin's neck, as if that was the only dependence.
"We entered the elevator, Master Shen's car is at the door, and we will be able to get to the hospital immediately, don't worry, don't worry, don't worry......"
"Hmmm......"
Yan Xin's gentle response calmed Qiao Jin's uneasy heart. Qiao Jin choked in his throat, but he didn't allow himself to cry, his lips gently touched Yanxin's forehead, and he couldn't tell Yanxin's distress.
