I heard that the provincial station is about to record a TV show of baking live show, and the organizer is negotiating cooperation with many high-end hotels in China, including Vance Nian.

Ningxia learned about this from everyone's mouths one after another, thinking that it was another rumor, but for several days, the discussion in the cake room only increased.

Whether the matter is true or not is still unknown, Ningxia whispered to Xu Siqi: "I hope this is true." ”

The current Xu Siqi occasionally echoes her boredly.

He glanced at her, and although he didn't speak, his eyes were asking: Why?

Ningxia patted the flour on his hand and said, "If Mr. Ji wants to save the hotel business, it is a good opportunity to go on TV to promote it." ”

"Don't daydream." Xu Siqi said, "The greater the opportunity, the greater the risk." ”

"What are you afraid of?" Ningxia looked at Xu Zhengze's workshop, where the door was closed, and only a small round window where nothing could be seen let in a little light. Ningxia raised his eyebrows, "We have a dessert king, push him out to ensure that he can't lose anyone." ”

Xu Siqi snorted lightly and shook his head, obviously disagreeing.

Ningxia immediately thought of Xu Zhengze's inaction in the past six months, and then his thoughts turned around, and he immediately thought of the special relationship between Xu Siqi and Xu Zhengze. I thought about it and held back the words that were about to be exported.

Affected by the negative environmental atmosphere, the work of the bakery is becoming more and more boring, there is no progress, no innovation, and every day just completes the fixed tasks step by step. Ningxia feels that he is no longer making pastries for the sake of interest, but like a machine on an assembly line, repeating, repeating, repeating.

Ningxia wants to resign.

What a stealing teacher to learn the arts! Not to mention that you can't learn at all, even your free play is limited! She promised Lu Xiao to help, but she didn't feel that she had any role. According to what she saw, what Lu Xiao needed most was a behind-the-scenes military advisor, and with her management ability and experience, no matter how much eyeliner she put in, it would be useless.

Two days later, she took the elevator to the hotel office floor during her break.

Lu Xiao's assistant told her that Mr. Lu was out of business and was not in the deputy general office.

Ningxia asked, "When will she come back?" ”

The assistant said, "I don't know about this. ”

Ningxia didn't think much about it, and directly dialed her private number.

It rang for a long time before someone answered, not Lu Xiao himself, but a gentle and intellectual female voice: "Hello, Xiaoxiao is not here for the time being, if you have something urgent, you might as well say it directly, and I will tell you later." ”

"Oh." Ningxia was stunned, "There's nothing urgent, I'll contact her later." ”

Ningxia had the intention of hanging up the phone, but he didn't think about it, but he didn't hurry to speak: "Okay, you leave a name." ”

A strange feeling surged inexplicably in Ningxia's heart: Don't you let her look at the call records by herself to know who is looking for her?

Thinking about it, she still responded politely and politely: "My name is Ningxia, I'm sorry for you." ”

There seemed to be a moment of silence over there, and then Ningxia heard her say, "You're welcome." The words were concise and to the point, and he hung up directly without waiting for Ningxia to say goodbye.

Ningxia stood in front of Lu Xiao's assistant's desk, looking at the screen, stunned for two seconds.

**

Who knew that before the evening, Ningxia had just gotten out of the elevator on the way back to the cake room, and Lu Xiao called back and forth.

"How can you reach out to me today? Isn't there something to ask me for? Listening to her tone, she seemed happy to see.

The signal of the negative layer was good and bad, and Ningxia said, "You wait." ”

She turned back to the elevator, went up to the first floor, and walked to a corner of the employee passage.

Lu Xiao was impatient: "If you have something to say, what are you waiting for." ”

Ningxia was not anxious with her, calmed down, and got straight to the point: "I don't want to work in Vance Year anymore." ”

"Ningxia, how did you promise me in the first place!" Lu Xiao was furious in an instant, "Where are you now, I want to see you!" ”

Ningxia said, "I just went to your office, but you weren't there. ”

Lu Xiao suppressed his temper: "I'm in 1506, you come over to me immediately!" ”

Ningxia glanced at the time displayed on her phone, the lunch break had not yet passed, thought about it, and decided to go up to her.

**

She took off her chef's uniform as she walked, her white coat folded in the crook of her arm, and she was huddled with five waiters in two food delivery trucks when she took the staff elevator.

When you arrive at the fifteenth floor, follow the signs and look all the way, the wool carpet spread in the corridor absorbs sound and dust, lining the surroundings quietly.

Suddenly, she saw a familiar and beautiful figure. The other party came with a long hair and a graceful posture.

Ningxia thought that they would pass by calmly and naturally, but the other party stopped a step away from her and looked at her with a smile: "Ningxia." ”

Ningxia was stunned: "Miss Lin, do you know me?" ”

Lin Yanxi's smile remained unchanged, and she harmoniously bypassed the topic: "Xiaoxiao is waiting for you, go quickly." ”

No wonder the sound is familiar.

Ningxia didn't say much, and smiled: "Okay." Goodbye, Miss Lin. ”

"Goodbye."

After walking a few steps, the Ningxia ghost turned back in a daze, only to see Lin Yanxi's pretty and straight back.

**

Hearing the doorbell ringing, Lu Xiao opened the door angrily, with a tiger face and a depressed face the whole time.

Returning to the living room, he sat down with his arms crossed, and his eyes seemed to be quenched with poison: "You are so good!" ”

Ningxia sat in a random place, looked around the suite quickly, and then looked at her and said, "The vice president is just well treated, and the rest places are higher than people." ”

Lu Xiao puffed up: "Don't be poor with me." Say, why don't you want to do it? ”

"It's overkill, it's boring."

Lu Xiaosheng blushed, and asked in a disdainful tone: "Are you still a big talent?" ”

Ningxia smiled: "Look down on me?" Don't ask me for help if you look down on me, I can't help you anyway. ”

Lu Xiao laughed angrily: "You are right, you said it yourself, what have you helped me from the time you entered the Year of Vance to now?" Even if I let a dog into the cake room, it will give me a bone to come out! ”

"Hey, you're over!" Ningxia pursed her lips and warned, "I didn't accuse you of only listening to the news and not doing things, but you are embarrassed to complain about me." ”

"Why don't I do things?" Lu Xiao's eyes jumped up.

"Tell me what you've done. Do you have a strategy for what's happening in your bakery? ”

Lu Xiao only stared and was silent.

Ningxia said: "Okay, let's not mention anything else. I'll ask you, you don't have the ability to do it yourself, but how about you and Ling Zun know all the circumstances, right? I don't believe that Mr. Lo will ignore the state of the hotel. ”

Lu Xiao stopped glaring and began to bite his lip.

She sat back and was silent for a while before saying, "My dad did ignore it, don't believe it, even I don't believe it." ”

Ningxia was slightly stunned.

Lu Xiao lit a cigarette and continued: "I can't find him, the phone calls are all answered by Secretary Wang, and I haven't seen him for a long time." ”

Ningxia listened and did not speak.

Lu Xiao took a few puffs of cigarette and continued: "I think he is avoiding me, but I don't know why. Suddenly, she put her hands down and slammed the sofa next to her legs continuously, scolding almost in a collapsed manner, "Fuck I don't know why!" ”

Ningxia looked at it and didn't say a word, but his heart was sour.

She was not a person overflowing with empathy, but at this moment, she thought of a person whose pain in the past made her feel a little more empathy for Lu Xiao's hysteria.

She got up and sat down beside her, patted herself on the shoulder, and said, "Hey, I'll lend you it." ”

Lu Xiao's eyes were slightly red, she raised her eyes to look at Ningxia from the gap in her long hair, and after being stunned, she didn't appreciate it: "You are insane!" ”

"They all say that my daughter looks like an uncle, don't you think I still look very similar to my brother-in-law?" Ningxia patted his shoulder, "Come on, treat me as Jiang Yiran, and borrow his shoulder from you." ”

Lu Xiao: "...... Neuropathy! ”

"Don't talk nonsense, do you want to rely on it?"

“…… No! ”

"Not really, forget it, you ......"

Her arm was hugged by Lu Xiao, she didn't say hello, and suddenly leaned on Ningxia's shoulder.

Ningxia stared at the cigarette case on the low table in front of him and kept his mouth shut.

Lu Xiao put his other hand on his lap, the lady between his fingers burned faintly, and the room was quiet.

No one spoke, until Ningxia took out his mobile phone from his trouser pocket and looked at the time, Lu Xiao took the lead in speaking: "Ningxia, I really hate you." ”

Ning Xia smiled: "What a coincidence, so am I." ”

"But I kind of like you."

Ningxia pretended to be surprised: "Don't scare me." ”

Lu Xiao sneered, Ningxia felt a light shoulder, she suddenly sat up straight, and looked at her: "Although your smile is fake, you are very real." ”

Ningxia moved his shoulders and chuckled: "I'm praising you for me." ”

Lu Xiao snorted and didn't explain.

She extinguished the cigarette butt and re-lit one, and Ningxia said, "Can't you quit smoking?" ”

"I can't." Lu Xiao flicked the ashes of his cigarette.

knew it was nosy, but she still said it just now. Ningxia Wu smiled to himself.

Lu Xiao happened to catch the smile on her lips, frowned and asked, "What are you laughing at?" ”

Ningxia said: "I am so kind. ”

Lu Xiao: "...... Be all abroad. ”

"Lu Xiao." Ningxia turned his head, and his eyes were surprisingly gentle.

"What?" Lu Xiao was originally not angry, but when he met her eyes, he was shocked.

"The same goes for you." Ningxia said.

Lu Xiao felt even more inexplicable.

Ningxia said: "Although your eldest lady has a temper, you are very true. ”

The shock in her heart was even greater, and Lu Xiao looked at her in a daze: "Why do you want to learn from me?" ”

Ningxia smiled and looked up, the sky was clear outside, but the curtains in the house were tightly drawn.

The crystal chandelier overhead glowed softly, softening her eyes. She said, "I'm so kind." ”

Lu Xiao: "......"

The air was quiet again.

A moment later, Lu Xiao's cigarette ran out. She got up and pulled back the curtains. With a bang, the world was bright.

She stood in front of the window, adjusted to the light for a while, looked at the green mountains in the distance, and said slowly: "Ningxia, you can choose not to help me, I won't force you." ”

Belch?

Ningxia listened and was silent.

"I've only recently come to see the fact that it's not scary to be alone, it's scary to not even find a safe haven."

Lu Xiao hugged himself and didn't move.

"Someone once said to me, Lu Xiao, what are you doing in Vance Year like this, even if you get your wish and become the general manager, Vance Year will be destroyed in your hands sooner or later, is this interesting?"

"It's not interesting, of course I know it's not interesting, but why do everyone think I'm not up to the task, maybe I can. I'm not convinced! ”

"The reason why I have persisted until now is just to have a chance to prove myself, but why is this opportunity so hard to get? Dad avoided me, he must have thought that I would ruin his life's work, he must have been annoyed by me to avoid me. ”

She opened the window, and the wind poured in, blowing her long hair.

Ningxia got up, walked closer, and leaned his back against the sofa, "There are many opportunities to prove yourself, and you are not limited to areas that you are not good at." ”

Lu Xiao turned around, there was no doubt that she was very beautiful, the moment she turned her head, her eyes were confused and helpless, she lost her usual domineering, and her temperament was extraordinarily soft, which made Ningxia feel amazing.

It's a pity that in the next second, she was the same person again, and said stubbornly: "Don't you get up from where you fall." If you don't have to, there is no reason to give up halfway. ”

Ningxia suddenly realized that Lu Xiao was the kind of person who was good at drilling the horns of the bull and did not hit the south wall and did not look back.

"No wonder you've been chasing my uncle for years." Ningxia was relieved, she didn't have to get it, but she was unwilling to get it.

Speaking of Jiang Yiran, Lu Xiao had nowhere to complain about his grievances: "I liked your uncle a lot at first, you don't know how sexy he is, I have never seen a man who can be like him, just listening to him feel excited." ”

Ningxia: "......"

She just didn't know how sexy the sauce was.

Lu Xiao: "But he's too arrogant, he doesn't take me seriously at all, I've never chased anyone so hard in my life!" ”

She was annoyed and ashamed, she didn't know what to think, and suddenly her eyes shot to Ningxia, complicated and weird: "Except for Jiang Yiran, my favorite person is Ah Jue, he is my first love." ”

Ningxia was surprised in his heart, but his mouth was light and light: "Yes." But as far as I know, he doesn't seem to have been in a relationship with you. ”

"No, no. I can't be unrequited! ”

"Yes, of course." Ningxia nodded in agreement.

Lu Xiao laughed: "You haven't seen Ah Jue's teenage appearance, it's very attractive." It's not just me, there are four or five people in our circle alone who are fighting for me. But then I went abroad and didn't get involved again. She gloated, "It's good that I'm gone, and the long pain is better than the short one." None of their fools caught him in the end. ”

Ningxia was silent.

She thought in her heart: Thirty-year-old Ye Zhaojue is also very attractive.

Lu Xiao looked at her: "You say, how would they feel if they knew that Ah Jue's current girlfriend was you?" ”

Love makes you feel what you feel. Ningxia didn't care.

But then, Lu Xiao looked at her carefully from top to bottom, and her naked gaze made her faintly uneasy.

"I guess they're just as incredulous as I am." Lu Xiao didn't pay attention to the wording at all, and the big lama said, "If Ah Jue and Lu Lin'an come together, no one will be surprised." But with you, it's just a fright. ”

Ningxia's heart was ringing, and she felt irritable.

When she no longer drilled the tip of the horns related to Lu Lin'an, when she had already decided to abandon Ye Zhaojue's past efforts and look forward, there was a person who tore open her heart defense that was not easy to build, and let the cold wind blow in instantly.

Lu Xiao was still chattering and talking, as if it wasn't her who was sad before, as if they had always been talking about Ningxia and Ye Zhaojue, not her and Wan Sinian.

"Ah Jue hasn't brought you to our party yet, has he? Oh my God, I can't look forward to it! They are definitely more terrifying when they see you than when they see ghosts. Lu Xiao smiled exaggeratedly, and quickly reined in, "But when the time comes, you will be unlucky, there must be someone who is trying to expose your old background, or rack their brains to see you make a fool of yourself." In my opinion, if there is really a party, and Ah Jue says that he wants to take you, you should find a reason to refuse. Listen to me, none of the women in our circle are good, you must be wary. ”

Ningxia's irritable mood magically calmed down, and she was teased by Lu Xiao: "Since they are not good things, why do you still form a circle with them?" ”

Lu Xiao said: "It's just that I was young at the time, and I couldn't recognize whether I was a human or a ghost." ”

Ningxia asked: "Then now that you have grown up, why don't you stay away?" ”

"Life is like a play, it all depends on acting skills." Lu Xiao turned around and poured himself a glass of red wine, bowed his head slightly, and shook it slowly, "Ningxia, I like to quarrel with you, I can put it away freely, I don't need to hold it." is different from them, no matter how much she hates her, no matter how fierce the noise is, it should be restrained or restricted. Sometimes you even need to take the initiative to make peace against your will, and then continue to call you sister. She looked up and smiled sarcastically, "Aren't you ridiculous?" ”

This "she" seems to mean something.

Ningxia: "Because of business dealings? ”

"No, because I'm going to stay with them, so I can see exactly how they pretend to be pure."

Ningxia only laughed, but did not make a sound. She felt that she needed to look at Lu Xiao in a new light.

"I'm not leaving for now." She said to Lu Xiao.

Lu Xiao pondered for a while, and was angry: "You are fooling me? ”

"Nope. I just suddenly didn't want to go. ”

"Give me a reason." Lu Xiao was skeptical.

Ningxia is now learning and selling: "Because I want to stay with you, so that I can clearly see how you became a general manager and became a CEO to reach the peak of your life." ”

“…… Neuropathy. Lu Xiao pursed his lips and laughed.

**

It was as if on that day, two people turned enemies into friends.

Ningxia said to Jiang Yiran thoughtlessly afterwards: "You really can't just look at the surface when you look at people, there will be unexpected surprises after you really understand it." ”

Without naming names, Jiang Yiran reminisced about it, and it was a little funny. She was alluding to Ye Zhaojue.

The subtext is: you won't see his personality until you really get along with him.

Jiang Yiran frowned coldly, but he didn't hear it.

Ningxia shook his head and sighed: "Rotten wood cannot be carved." ”

Jiang Yiran replied: "Don't think that I look at people as superficial as you. I've always been right about things and not about people. ”

Ningxia asked seriously: "Why is that?" ”

Jiang Yiran didn't want to answer, but glanced at her, saw that her eyes were stubborn, and wanted to give a very unpleasant answer: "You are not a good match." ”

Not a good match......

In an instant, the hole that was inadvertently torn open by Lu Xiao widened, and Ningxia had a hunch that she might fall into a strange circle again and not be able to get out.

is not a good match, and the fright in Lu Xiao's mouth, in fact, to put it bluntly, it is nothing more than a meaning: you Ningxia are not worthy of him Ye Zhaojue.

But she didn't believe that Jiang Yiran was this kind of person who destroyed her prestige because of Changye Zhaojue's ambition, so she pretended to ask lightly: "You said that he is not worthy of me, are you okay with your eyes?" ”

"Of course my eyes are fine, anyone with a discerning eye can see that you are not worthy of him."

"......" how can this be.

Ningxia puffed out and glared at him.

Jiang Yiran shrugged: "You forced me to tell the truth." ”

Ningxia was speechless.

**

When there is a controversy about self-perception, people will be extremely insecure and afraid that they will be equally bad in front of the people they like.

When he was alone with Ye Zhaojue, he sat there quietly to deal with Wen Jiàn, his posture was straight, like a silent and serene tree, exuding a refreshing plant atmosphere, and at the same time quiet and far-reaching, vigorous and powerful.

No wonder men use the word "Zhilan Yushu" to describe them. Ningxia twisted on the sofa in the study and couldn't help but think.

She coughed lightly, first drawing his attention, then swooped up, sat up straight, and turned her head to look at him: "When are you going to introduce a friend to me?" ”

This topic came abruptly, and Ye Zhaojue was speechless for a while.

Ningxia said: "Am I not able to see people? ”

From a distance, Ye Zhaojue noticed that she seemed to be hiding a trace of affection.

He walked over, and before he could reach him, Ningxia stood on the sofa and tiptoed, hanging on top of him with his hands and feet.

She rubbed the bridge of his nose and repeated in a coquettish tone: "Am I unsightly? ”

He enjoyed her active intimacy, hugged her and sat down, the tip of his nose facing each other, and smelling his breath, "I just don't think it's necessary." Anytime you want. ”

Ningxia was puzzled: "Why is it not necessary?" ”

Ye Zhaojue was silent for a second, and sighed: "How can I explain it to you." ”

He cupped her cheek and parted a little from her. In this way, it is more inevitable to look at each other.

Ningxia was already preoccupied, and when he felt his embarrassment, his eyes became evasive.

Ye Zhaojue didn't break it, meditated for a while, and said, "Actually, I'm not a person who is keen on socializing. Or to put it another way, I'm withdrawn and don't have many friends. ”

How could it be......

Ningxia's eyes widened, Ye Xiaofan and Lu Xiaoming had mentioned that he was very attractive, both men and women.

Ye Zhaojue was stunned, and his index finger gently scraped her nose: "Very surprised? ”

"Hmm." Ningxia nodded, "You know the art of speaking so well, how can you be lonely?" ”

"These are two different things. I just don't like socializing with people, it's not that I won't. ”

"Oh. Well, just because you don't have friends doesn't mean you don't have friends, right? ”

"Are you tired of picking out words like this?" Ye Zhaojue knocked on her forehead.

"Not tired." Ningxia was confident, "My man, of course I want to know everything." ”

"Know everything?" Ye Zhaojue's eyes were deep.

"Huh?" Ningxia sensed that there was a deep meaning, raised his vigilance, saw the move, and said gently, "Well, a little bit of slowly understand." ”

"For example?"

"Friends, relatives, hobbies."

"Barely mental. What else? ”

And also?

"Uh...... Lifestyle habits. Ningxia finally held back a word.

"It's the same spirit. There are no other levels? ”

Other? Spiritual ...... Other levels......

If Ningxia was really ignorant at the beginning, then at this moment, she was suddenly enlightened.

Spirit and *! He's been guiding the *!

Ningxia saw that his demeanor was relaxed and calm, and he almost thought that he was too cranky, but fortunately he stopped this stupid idea in time and tried his best to keep his head clear.

She suddenly stopped talking, Ye Zhaojue raised her eyebrows, and chuckled: "What are you thinking?" ”

"Think about the spirit and * ......" Ningxia immediately covered his mouth, but unfortunately it was too late.

"It turns out that Xiao Xia also wants to know my * level." Ye Zhaojue was indifferent, but his eyes were quiet, "Okay." You can whenever you want. ”

It's obviously what you want, so shameless!

Ningxia puffed up: "I see that you are not withdrawn, but sullen!" ”

She was angry, and Ye Zhaojue did not refute it.

Ningxia continued to accuse: "I heard that you have been recruiting people since you were a teenager!" ”

Ye Zhaojue corrected the error: "It's not right. ”

"Huh?"

"It's not a teenager, I heard that it was born."

Ningxia was already lacking in thinking, so he said casually: "Be less narcissistic, do you believe what you hear?" ”

Ye Zhaojue smiled: "Then why do you believe it?" ”

――I heard that you've been recruiting people since you were a teenager!

It's been less than a minute since you exited.

Ningxia: "......"

He was clearly and deliberately!

Ningxia couldn't come back to his senses for a while.

Ye Zhaojue pecked her half-coaxingly: "What you hear from other people's mouths can't be fully believed, but everything you hear from my mouth is credible." ”

Ningxia looked at him and said, "You always bully me." ”

Ye Zhaojue approached her again and whispered, "How can I give it." ”

Then induce her to open her lips lightly and kiss deeply.

Lips and tongues touched, Ningxia reached out to wrap his arms around his neck and hugged him hard.

――I heard that you've been recruiting people since you were a teenager!

She believes, why not?.
