Chapter 30: I Want to See You

Although Lu Ze said that he didn't mind that Qiao Qiao only ate the fruit and only enjoyed the good part, as long as she didn't refuse to take care of and accompany her, if Qiao Qiao could be justified like this, she would not be Qiao Qiao.

On the plane back to City B from Barcelona, Lu Ze sorted out all the photos. When the plane landed and sent Qiaoqiao downstairs to her house, Lu Ze gave her a hard drive, which contained copies of all the photos.

When she got home, Qiaoqiao sorted out her luggage and souvenirs from her trip, put the mug in the kitchen, put up the refrigerator magnet, put the stained glass bowl in the living room to fill the candy, and then before going to bed at night, she leaned on the bed and hugged the computer to flip through the photos taken by Lu Ze one by one.

The photos are full of Jojo, Jojo's side face sitting on a bench by the sea and bowing his head to write a postcard, Jojo's smile of slightly bending his eyes and drinking strawberry juice, Jojo listening to the back of the street artist playing the violin, Jojo didn't dare to look at the bloody scene of the bullfight and turned his head, Jojo finally turned his head at the airport to look back at the Barcelona sky.

Qiao Qiao looked at himself in the photo, thousands of pictures full of himself, himself in various landscapes, himself from various angles, and himself with various expressions, as if he could feel the mood of the person who took the photo, and the person who took the photo was called Lu Ze. She was silent and silent, full of thoughts, and suddenly interrupted her mood by a message pouring in from her mobile phone, which read: "Remember that you are returning today, send your resume to my private email, adjust the time difference, and interview at four o'clock tomorrow afternoon." ”

Sent by Li Jinzhou.

Put away these cranky thoughts of love and love, or it is more important to work and make money, Qiao Qiao closed the folder full of photos and opened his resume. As a professional, she has a habit of updating her resume at any time, so she doesn't need to change her resume.

Li Jinzhou couldn't be more familiar with Qiaoqiao's resume, but he still asked Qiaoqiao to send a resume to the past, so naturally it was not him who wanted to see it, it must be his partner.

Therefore, Qiao Qiao still browsed and reviewed, fine-tuned the job information obtained that day before sending his resume to Li Jinzhou's private mailbox.

Went to bed early, adjusted the jet lag, put on professional clothes the next afternoon, put on light makeup for the last job, and packed up the Wen Jiàn folder, Qiaoqiao returned to his social role.

In addition to Li Jinzhou, there was also a man named Qi Yue who was about the same age as Li Jinzhou who interviewed her. To be more precise, it was not Li Jinzhou who interviewed her, but this President Qi.

During the two-hour bilingual interview in Chinese and English, from the mastery of professional knowledge, to the detailed experience of participating in the project, to the interpretation and grasp of industry news, he hardly gave a trace of time to think and room for reaction, and threw out questions, picks, and rebuttals one after another in the most dissatisfied tone, with a cold face and a strict tone, forcing people to answer his questions as quickly as possible or even intuitively, a typical oppressive interview.

However, Qiaoqiao neither flinched because of his severe oppressive momentum, nor was he flustered because of his stormy way of asking questions, and his attitude was not impatient, neither humble nor arrogant, and he calmly and confidently answered the questions one by one, in a clear and organized manner. She has long since passed the desperate attitude of job hunting when she was a student, and now she is more about showing her true self.

Whether the job is suitable or not is a mutual choice between the two parties, not a choice for her. You can consider my professional reserves, but I also need to consider your position, salary, sincerity and development.

Until the end of six o'clock, Li Jinzhou, who had not interjected in the whole two-hour interview, was still in the same lazy state, his hands resting on the back of the chair, and asked with a smile: "I said that I recommended the person, are you satisfied now?" ”

Qi Yue glanced at Li Jinzhou and didn't answer him. If it was really a professional recommended by Li Jinzhou, of course he would not ask such a long and harsh question, but he really thought that Li Jinzhou was messing around in order to pursue a woman.

Li Jinzhou wants to chase women, take money to send them, send flowers, bags, and even cars and houses. But Li Jinzhou wanted to tie her into the partnership business in order to chase people, which really surprised Qi Yue and doubted his professional judgment.

However, now it seems that regardless of Li Jinzhou's actual pursuit intentions, at least this woman's professionalism is worthy of this position and treatment.

Qi Yue got up and took out two contracts, a confidentiality agreement and a non-competition agreement, from the safe behind him, and asked Qiao Qiao to sign it.

Scanning the important terms page by page, closing the two agreements, the signing pen was on the table, but Qiaoqiao didn't move, she looked at the other party and replied seriously: "I'm just here for an interview, I don't have to accept this job." In addition to the work treatment has not been discussed, I pay more attention to the actual job responsibilities, the breach clause of the confidentiality agreement is too strict, the consequences are too strict, the prohibition of intra-industry competition is too long, the scope is too wide, and it involves upstream and downstream industries, so I can't sign it. ”

Seeing that Qiao Qiao refused to sign first, Li Jinzhou was very happy, looking at Qi Yue and smiling, this person is used to being the CEO of a family business, and his style is too domineering, even more than Li Jinzhou himself, after all, he is still from foreign capital, and he has a lot of rules.

Li Jinzhou got up, ignored Qi Yue's frowning disapproving expression, took out other more important contracts from the safe, handed them to Qiao Qiao, and said, "You read it first, and then decide whether to sign it or not after reading it, don't leak the secret." ”

Qi Yue insisted on signing a confidentiality agreement and then showing Qiao Qiao something else, but Li Jinzhou only verbally told her not to leak secrets, just like when he told her the news of her promotion and layoffs in advance, he didn't worry that she would say it. This is the basic professional ethics, and it is also the confidence that her style of acting in the workplace for five or six years gives Li Jinzhou. Sometimes this kind of character confidence in business partners is very important. Of course, there is no evidence for these things to be said casually.

Qiao Qiao took it and looked at them one by one, and couldn't help but look up at this Mr. Qi.

Now the so-called family enterprises in China are only going on for decades, and no matter how long they are, can they be longer than the history of the Republic? The company of Mr. Qi is one of them, the parents started from the generation, and the second generation took over after the old age, facing the company's intertwined kinship network, these entrenched in the company's important positions and unwilling to back down the paternal and maternal relatives, and have shares and generations, which hindered his further development and regularization of the company.

But he was ruthless enough to disguise himself as a venture capitalist, impress existing shareholders with a promising U.S. stock listing plan, and dilute the equity of his own venture capital company. Then, the performance VAM agreement full of temptation and seemingly good realization was used to induce the existing shareholders to agree to the equity VAM between the management and the venture capital.

The VAM agreement seemed to be a good one, but he was the management himself. Then this VAM agreement will definitely lose in the future, and the equity will eventually change hands. However, this shareholding structure is layered and complex, and in the end, it is almost impossible to trace back to the venture capital of natural person shareholders from public channels, and the actual largest natural person shareholder behind it is himself, followed by Li Jinzhou. As for what other agreement was between the two of them, outsiders did not know.

At present, this is still just a pretext and excuse for the wind to enter the bureau, and it will really be put on the agenda after the reinstatement of the power to rectify the company. Without more than three or five years, the entire layout cannot be completed.

Qiao Qiao thought to herself, with such a complex background, it was no wonder that she had signed such a strict confidentiality agreement and a non-competition agreement with the same industry at the beginning.

In the end, the work treatment was better than what Li Jinzhou said at the time, all the conditions were raised by 20% again, and the options were also replaced by a five-year equity incentive plan given by venture capital, although the proportion was small, but it was more valuable.

Therefore, as soon as Qiaoqiao's various contracts related to these various jobs are signed, it is five years.

Using this job to bind Qiaoqiao for five years, this is Li Jinzhou's original life plan to silently make things as close as possible behind his back. After five years, we will talk about whether to settle down, but within five years, I don't want her to be poached.

"When do you start work?" Jojo asked, wondering how long his vacation was left.

Li Jinzhou smiled and replied, "Tomorrow." ”

Lu Ze originally wanted Qiaoqiao to get a good night's sleep and make a jet lag, and then make an appointment with her after resting, and then he couldn't make an appointment again.

He found that almost every time he returned to City B and returned to the interpersonal relationship in the real society, Qiaoqiao immediately rebounded and retracted into his shell harder.

In fact, this is only part of the reason, and the other part of the reason why Qiao Qiao didn't agree to Lu Ze's invitation was that she really didn't have time.

The new job offered by Li Jinzhou was indeed not as busy as before, giving her enough sleep time, but it also took up all her other time.

9 to 9 on weekdays, 12 hours, 10 to 6, 8 hours on weekends. The newly appointed Deputy Director Qiao has non-stop meetings, in addition to sleep time, basic fitness time, and necessary transportation time, where is there other time left to talk about the ambiguous love you chase me. Even the meal time is full.

Lunch with a variety of new colleagues to cultivate interpersonal relationships at work, dinner appointment with Li Jinzhou Qi Yue to report the progress, after eating and then go back to work overtime.

Qi Yue is often busy with other things, in fact, it is basically Qiao Qiao and Li Jinzhou having dinner alone and reporting the progress to him. Of course, the matter of reporting the progress of dinner was a cover, and Qi Yue, who knew the inside story, naturally would not come to disturb Li Jinzhou.

Occasionally, when Qiao Qiao was not driving, Li Jinzhou took Qiao Qiao back to her house after working overtime.

Whether it was downstairs in the company when he went to work in the morning, or downstairs at Qiao Qiao's house when he occasionally took her home, Li Jinzhou didn't see the suitor standing guard, Li Jinzhou didn't know if Qiao Qiao did it himself, or the suitor was not firm enough, or he happened not to meet the other party.

In short, whether it is or not, all of Jojo's current time is occupied by him and the work he provides, and will not leave others with opportunities.

In fact, Qiao Qiao didn't get Lu Ze himself, and Lu Ze was naturally not firm enough, he didn't go to stand guard, just because when he returned to City B from the beach for the first time, Qiao Qiao, who was retracted into his shell, had warned him that he was not allowed to come to the door to block people, otherwise he would be blacked out.

This is the second time I've returned to City B, and Jojo has retracted into his shell again, and the only improvement is that Jojo will reply to him compared to the last standalone version of the chat. Although not timely, and slow, and less, because Jojo is really busy. But at least she replied.

Qiao Qiao himself didn't know how Lu Ze could be so patient. Ask yourself, if it was herself, the invitation was rejected every day, and then the chat was always left there like this, and it took a long time to reply with a "um", "saw", "okay" or something like that, and from time to time she would miss it and not reply, she would have dropped her phone a long time ago, so she would not continue to wait so carefully.

But for more than a month, obviously he didn't even see each other again, and he didn't make an appointment once, Lu Ze was still so patient. Isn't it said that the hormones of love fade quickly?

It's the turn of the day when you can't drive, because you need to reserve time for a taxi, and Jojo's alarm clock is set earlier than usual. But it was pouring rain outside the window, and it was not even good to take a taxi in this kind of weather.

Qiaoqiao was a little cautious when he went out with an umbrella, and the stagnant water was easy to splash on his trouser legs. The car didn't hit, but there was a familiar model slowly and slowly parked next to her, how to describe this slow speed? Probably only the four words of caution.

Lu Ze drove the same model in both cities, so Qiao Qiao recognized his bulky off-road vehicle at a glance. Lu Ze, who pressed the car window, cautiously said to her: "Qiaoqiao, this is not counting the door to block you, this is the entrance of the community." I remember that your license plate number was restricted today, and it rained heavily, so I came here. ”

Qiao Qiao suddenly wanted to smile, I don't know if it was because she saw someone she hadn't seen for more than a month, or because Lu Ze was careful enough to find out that today was her restricted and rainy day, or because Lu Ze was in a hurry to explain that he was very worried about being blacked out by her.

"It's hard to take a taxi when it's raining, I'll send you there?" Lu Ze was worried that Qiao Qiao would not get into the car, and added: "It's better than being late." ”

Maybe it's because the rain is too heavy, maybe it's really hard to get a taxi, maybe it's because I'm really afraid of being late, anyway, Jojo got in the car.

Qiao Qiao still remembers that when he sat in the co-pilot, he pulled the seat belt, Lu Ze handed over the insulated box, which was still the four red blood nourishing and stomach porridge he had cooked for Qiao Qiao at the beach, "It's time, you have breakfast first, and I'll drive after eating." ”

After a pause, Qiao Qiao still took the thermos box, and when she lowered her head to open it, she heard Lu Ze, who hadn't even taken her eyes off since she met her, whispered to her beside her: "Qiao Qiao, I haven't seen you for 44 days." ”

Qiao Qiao only knew that she hadn't seen her for more than a month since she came back, but she didn't know how many days it was, but Lu Ze knew.

When I came back for the first time, I didn't see her for 28 days, and she was on vacation before she went to work, but she refused to reply to him with any contact information, saying that she would block him if she came to block people.

When I came back the second time, I hadn't seen her for 44 days, but at least I was busy with work and occasionally replied to him. At least now I got into his car, willing for him to take her to work on a rainy day, and bowed her head to eat the breakfast he cooked.

Hearing Lu Ze say that he hadn't seen her for 44 days, Qiao Qiao began to drink porridge with his head down again and silently, still the same as the breakfast at the beach, red beans and purple rice were soaked overnight in advance, with a soft and glutinous taste and sweet taste.

During this time, Qiao Qiao actually thought of Lu Ze, but she felt that she could control herself, and after being too busy with work to occupy a qiē thinking, she often retreated to the second place when she was excited. She always felt that this kind of impulse and good feeling between men and women, after opening up time and distance, would slowly fade away. Now counted, it has been more than three months since Lu Ze confessed frankly at the beach.

After the confession, he got along with each other at the beach for half a month, and the trip to Barcelona accompanied each other for a week, in the middle was two super long periods of no meeting, but now Lu Ze seems to be as patient as when he was at the beach to cook porridge for her, remembering that she did not allow him to come to the door to block people, and noticed that she was restricted today but it was pouring rain.

Lu Ze asked her: "I drive you to work every day?" ”

Jojo refused, shaking her head.

"Then I'll bring breakfast every day?"

Jojo refused, shaking her head.

"Are you free for dinner?"

Jojo shook her head.

"What about the weekend?"

Jojo shook her head.

"Jojo." Lu Ze reluctantly called her name, but the words did not continue, and in silence, Qiao Qiao looked up at Lu Ze.

Lu Ze stared at her without blinking for a moment, and said in a low voice, "Qiaoqiao, I just want to meet you." ”

Qiao Qiao looked at his gaze, a little soft-hearted, and explained: "I'm really working overtime, this job is really busy. ”

Lu Ze was helpless and asked her in a low voice: "Is it okay when you're not busy?" ”

But there's no time when this new job isn't busy......
