There are very few people who come to sweep the tomb during the Qixi Festival, the world is quiet, surrounded by mountains in the distance, and there is only a gray patch nearby, the autumn of B City has always come very early, as if it was just a rain and cold to penetrate the skin.

The woman stood quietly holding a black umbrella, with the traces of the years that could not be covered by delicate makeup in the corners of her eyes, and from time to time the rain fell from the eaves of the umbrella like beads with broken threads, splashing the trouser legs, and the lilies in her arms were also wet, but it was the only bright color between heaven and earth.

There is only a simple sentence on the tombstone in front of me, the south wind knows what I mean, and dreams to Xizhou.

Monument erector: Xiao Xubai.

The girl in the black and white photo is young and clean, her pupils are clear and translucent, and she purses the corners of her lips slightly and smiles, revealing two small dimples on her cheeks, and she will never get old.

Xiao Xubai stared at it for a long time, and suddenly the corners of her lips also had a soft arc, she leaned down and put the flower in front of the monument, and the umbrella in her hand was deviated to protect her from the wind and rain.

"I thought girls liked roses, but later I found out that your favorite is lilies"

What else did I find out later, such as the fact that the house is full of photo walls, all of which are postcards that she has carefully selected and washed.

For example, the wardrobe is washed cleanly, and the neat clothes are all washed and ironed by her own hands every day after work, so that she can wear them at any time.

For example, the Cartier watch she put in the dust at home was bought by her three months of frugality plus her own manuscript fee and wanted to give it to herself.

Another example is that she suddenly disappeared from her life, she has always been an afterthought, so are her feelings, and so is her departure.

Now that I think about her, even the details are very clear, as if she has never left and has lived as a part of her life.

The rain is getting heavier and heavier, and the woman has no intention of leaving, her south wind is most afraid of wind and rain, and every time there is thunder and lightning, she will tremble, and she has to stay to protect her.

Until the twilight, the lights are on, and the lights of thousands of homes are lit up next time, which is the hustle and bustle of the city.

Xiao Xubai put down the umbrella, squatted down and carefully rubbed the cold outline of the marble, then leaned over and imprinted a kiss on the photo, and when he got up, a tear slipped from the corner of his eye and disappeared into the dust.

Nanfeng, I am willing to exchange my ten years of life for you to come back to me, even if it is only for a day, but you have never appeared, probably you hate me so much.

As soon as Xiao Xubai got into the car, the mobile phone placed in the passenger seat lit up, and she picked it up, her voice a little tired.

"Hey"

The person on the other side paused for a moment, as if he was trying to figure out how inconvenient she was now, "Mr. Xiao, it's like this, there is something wrong with the bidding for that piece of land in the western suburbs, and the board of directors has temporarily held a meeting, and you need to come back to participate."

Xiao Xubai glanced down at the watch on his wrist, "I'll be here in half an hour, send me the meeting materials first."

"Okay, Mr. Xiao," the secretary's voice reverted to the same formulaic as ever.

Xiao Xubai hung up the phone, fastened his seat belt, and began to set off.

When he arrived at the company, the Gu Group Building was brightly lit, and the secretary Xiao Gao immediately greeted him, holding a clean small suit in his hand, Xiao Xubai took it and changed into the elevator.

"What's going on?"

"The land in the western suburbs was won by Haituo, and we failed again in this bidding"

Xiao Xubai's eyes were sharp, and there was an aura of non-anger and self-authority between his eyebrows, "Hasn't the government already opened up the relationship?" ”

Three months ago, there was news that the government was going to build a sanatorium there, if it could win this land, it would undoubtedly have a great role in promoting the establishment of Gu's brand image, the real estate industry is fiercely competitive, she made all preparations early, but she didn't expect to make wedding clothes for others.

"It is said that ...... It's the people of the Shaw Group who are behind it......"

Secretary Xiao Gao was a little speechless and stopped, Xiao Xubai had already strode out of the elevator, and she hurriedly raised her heels.

She is a new intern, she has long heard of Xiao Xubai's name in the industry, she started from scratch and single-handedly established the Gu Group, which is now in full swing, but she is also surnamed Xiao, and it is well known that the leading enterprise in the industry, Xiao Group, is a family business, is this a coincidence or ......

This has long been a taboo within the Gu family, and she naturally doesn't dare to ask.

"That's the case, Mr. Xiao"

After frowning and listening to the deputy general manager's report, Xiao Xubai got up and walked to the big screen, and with a flick of his fingertips, he circled another city far away from City B.

"I have discussed with Mr. Qin, the next step is to set our sights on large, medium and small cities, first-tier cities have tight land resources and high competition pressure, while some second- and third-tier cities have good development potential, such as here" She stopped at a city with clear water surrounded by green mountains.

"H City"

Qin Ge, who was sitting at the bottom, almost didn't squirt out a mouthful of water, and his forehead was covered with black lines, when did you discuss it with me......

Looking at the place where her fingertips stopped, Qin Ge was stunned for a moment, his expression was complicated, looking at everyone's confused eyes, he stood up and said slowly: "I support Mr. Xiao's decision"

An executive president and a technical director represent more than half of the company's shares, and the remaining directors looked at each other and were quiet for a moment, and someone still asked: "H City is not even a second-tier city, how can Mr. Xiao guarantee that the investment will definitely return?" ”

"I have long said that investment is risky, Xiao can only guarantee to minimize the risk, as for whether there can be a return, you all followed me from scratch, all the way to work, my ability is obvious to all"

Although her voice is soft, it is loud through the microphone, and her eyes are firm, not dodging or evading, with the same convincing momentum as ever.

Qin Ge couldn't help but remember that at that time, he was still a small engineer in Xiao's design department, his design drawings were taken to make changes, and when he was in danger when he completed the construction, he was taken by his boss to atone for his guilt, hiding in the stairwell and crying helplessly.

At that time, he was just a freshly graduated college student, with no money and no power, and he was full of enthusiasm and talent, but he was buried here, and he might not see the light of day for the rest of his life.

The fluorescent lamp suddenly turned on, and the miserable white light shone overhead, and he looked up in surprise, facing a pair of bottomless eyes.

Xiao ...... Mr. Xiao ......, "He stammered a little, and he couldn't even speak clearly.

Xiao Xubai's gaze was like a torch, fixed on the badge on his chest, with only a few simple words: Design Department, Qin Ge.

"You designed the drawings of the Weiss Building?"

There are too many people in the company, and she only remembers that she is a very motivated young man, but she didn't expect to be so down.

"Yes...... It's me...... No...... It's not me ......."

The delay light suddenly went out again, and in the darkness, he heard a woman's scream, which pierced his eardrums, and Qin Ge shivered all over, and his scalp was numb.

Xiao Xubai frowned and pressed again, "Nanfeng, what are you doing?" ”

Only then did he see a girl in a white dress standing behind Xiao Xubai, fresh like a gardenia blooming in summer, and with a red face, she looked like a panicked white rabbit in the forest.

"Hug ...... I'm sorry...... I didn't mean to......"

"Show me your drawings," Xiao Xubai let go of the hand he held her hand and took the drawings he handed over, and returned them to him after only a few glances.

"I don't have to go back to the design department, I will go directly to work in the chief engineer's office tomorrow."

The chief engineer office is a senior engineer and directly belongs to the board of supervisors, although Xiao Xubai was only a vice president at that time, his identity as a child within the group has long been known.

Qin Gelen looked at her, overjoyed and overwhelmed, until a hand as white as jade was handed to him.

"Let's wipe it" The girl's voice is clean and soft, her smile is gentle, and she holds a tissue in her palm.

"Thank you...... Thank you ......."

The delay light went out again, this time the girl didn't scream anymore, Xiao Xubai pulled her to walk very steadily, step by step.

Until now, he still remembers how she pulled him out of the abyss of pain at that time, and he also remembers the girl's clean and soft smile, so he took the initiative to submit his resignation when Xiao Xubai left the Xiao Group after the incident.

At that time, he was already the head of the technical department, and his future was bright.

"Although H City is a third-tier city, it has a rich cultural heritage, a beautiful environment, and is suitable for human habitation, and I believe that many people will be willing to buy villas there, after all, the richer people are, the more afraid of death."

Xiao Xubai continued to talk eloquently, and the rules and regulations were convincing, obviously not on a whim.

Qin Ge's expression was gloomy for a moment, he took a sip of tea, and when he put down the cup, he heard someone say: "From the dilapidated office building to the current Gu's Building, Mr. Xiao's ability is obvious to everyone, but who is the right person to send to H City?" ”

The management of the Gu family is all young people with ideas and courage who she has single-handedly promoted, and there are also old people who have followed her since the Xiao family, and Xiao Xubai is very grateful for everyone's trust, but he was cold for a while, and no one came out to answer.

From the head office to the branch in the second-tier city, it is like being assigned to the frontier, who wants to go?

Xiao Xubai's expression cooled down little by little, and he turned off the PPT, "I'll go"

"Mr. Xiao!"

Someone immediately stood up and retorted, Xiao Xubai waved his hand and motioned for him to sit down, "I have been in H City for a while before, and I am more familiar with it, I think I am the most suitable person, the affairs of the head office are temporarily in charge of Mr. Qin, and other rules are the same as before."

The gloom under his eyes disappeared without a trace, Qin Ge stood up and nodded at her.

"Okay, the meeting is over, it's late, and colleagues who need to call back remember to find financial reimbursement tomorrow morning"

In the end, I didn't forget to care for my subordinates in a humane way, and there were already newcomers who had just graduated and silently became on her tall and thin back.

"Mr. Xiao is so handsome...... And the money...... There are no scandals...... It's okay to be older...... The important thing is to be single...... I wonder if she'll be interested in a genre like mine? ”

It's the newly promoted chief engineer of the design department.,With a short inch of hair.,But the voice of a girl is delicate.,You can see the sexuality at a glance from the appearance.。

Qin Ge walked up to her and threw the new issue of the project in front of her, the smile on his lips was a little malicious, "Don't blame the boss, I didn't remind you, what Mr. Xiao hates the most is ......"

He deliberately dragged out his tone, his gaze swept back and forth over her chest and back, and finally fixed on her short dyed green hair, "The front and back are the same, what's the difference between that and a man"

"Die !!"

There was a loud scolding behind him, and Qin Ge had already flashed into the elevator room, squeezing in at the moment when it was about to close.

"Xu Bai ......" he shouted this title almost cautiously, with a faint warmth that can only be found when two people are alone in private.

And this warmth seemed to Xiao Xubai to be just a friend and partner for many years, and she moved her gaze to his face as an answer.

"Are you really going to H City? Or I'll ......."

Xiao Xubai's fingertips holding the armrest turned white for a moment, she closed her eyes slightly, and unconsciously moved the watch on her wrist to cover a scar that was not obvious.

"Hmm"

"It's been three years, you're ......"

"Ding-" The elevator door opened without warning, and the height of dozens of floors was only a few minutes, Xiao Xubai obviously didn't want to continue the topic, so he stepped out of the elevator room first, and the clatter of high heels disappeared from sight.

The Gu Mansion never uses touch or voice-activated lights, and the lights are bright all night.

Qin Ge looked up for a long time, and only turned around and left until his eyes were stinged by the miserable white light.

It is hard to imagine that the home of the famous President Xiao Da is not a villa or a high-end community, but a secluded and peaceful place hidden in the downtown area, with tall plane trees scattered with fine lights, and the alley is very narrow.

Before he could □□ the key into the lockhole, he heard a click, the door was opened from the inside, and a small figure threw himself into his arms.

"Mom!"
