Xiang Hui is undoubtedly the enviable pride of the sky, he is already a well-known barrister at a young age, and his appearance is excellent, no matter where he goes, the opposite sex can't help but look twice. In addition to his own superior conditions, he also has a good family background, his father Xiang Peihong is a senior official of the Department of Justice, and his mother Zou Mingfang was the deputy director of the Municipal Audit Bureau before retiring from illness. His beautiful returnee girlfriend, Fei Qingya, is a capable fashion buyer. After returning from studying in the UK, he started his own business, and in just a few years, he has run the company well, and is now an agent for several fashion brands, covering women's clothing, bags, shoes, and cosmetics. Speaking of which, I'm afraid everyone won't believe that such a pair of beautiful people actually became blind dates. The two have been dating for a year, and they are very compatible in all aspects, but they get together less and leave more. Both of them are busy with their respective careers, Fei Qingya often goes around the market to investigate, and Xiang Hui is always busy with one lawsuit after another.

Xiang Hui has just concluded a lawsuit, which is a large case of economic disputes. He won this lawsuit very beautifully, and even his opponent lost convincingly. He walked out of the courtroom with a proud face, smiling and receiving congratulations from everyone. He subconsciously looked back, and the first thing that caught his eye was the judgment seat, and suddenly it felt like a hammer beating coldly on his heart.

Over the years, his life has been endlessly circling the courtroom, thinking about how to win lawsuits for others when he is awake, how others can win lawsuits for himself when he is asleep, and finally hearing the cold verdict on the judgment seat. This kind of life is like a player with a loop, and it plays out over and over again. No matter how many years have passed, the shackles in his heart still can't be opened, which is something he can't do no matter how hard he tries. In the past, he was just scared in his sleep, but now he feels so scared for the first time since he won a lawsuit. The judgment seat was like a huge vortex that could swallow him in an instant. On a hot day, he shivered stiffly. He got into the car, and the "bang" sound when the door closed startled him, as if it was a gunshot. He loosened his tie and leaned slumped on the steering wheel, feeling a cold sweat trickling down his spine. At this moment, just like he had done many years ago, he began to lose track of whether he was in a dream or a real life.

After a long time, the phone rang. Xiang Hui raised his head and answered the phone, asking him to participate in tonight's celebration banquet. Without thinking, he directly pushed it off on the grounds that there was something at home. After hanging up the phone, he sat quietly in the car for a while, rubbing his face back and forth with his hands fiercely before making a decision to take himself off for a while.

Xiang Hui remembered that he hadn't seen his girlfriend for more than half a month, so he dialed Fei Qingya's phone.

The phone rang for a while before it came through.

"Honey, I'm busy." In addition to Fei Qingya's gentle voice on the phone, there was also the sound of crackling on the keyboard.

This can almost be set as Fei Qingya's opening remarks, every time the phone is connected, this sentence appears very frequently, at least nine times out of ten, and the remaining time is to call her to dinner. Xiang Hui has long been accustomed to this. He wasn't like that himself, he just didn't say it. So he can understand his girlfriend's busyness. He smiled: "No matter how busy you are, you have to eat." Eat together at noon, I'll pick you up. At the end, he added, "Qingya, I miss you." “

The keystrokes on the other end of the phone finally stopped, and Fei Qingya chuckled, and her voice became softer: "Okay, can you come to my company?" Can you eat near the company? ”

"Good. I'll be waiting for you at the Cantonese restaurant next to your company. ”

Xiang Hui went to the Cantonese restaurant to order food first, didn't even look at the menu, and directly ordered a few dishes. Although the decoration of this restaurant is not high-end, it is better than the authentic Cantonese cuisine, and it is close to Fei Qingya's company, so the two often come to eat. It's a great place to go on a date for people like them who are busy with work.

When all the dishes were served, Fei Qingya appeared at the door of the restaurant radiantly, with eternal delicate makeup, carefully permed long hair curled up casually, wearing a white silk shirt, black harem pants, holding a silver bag in her hand, stepping on thick heeled leather sandals, and slowly walking towards Xiang Hui. Noon is the time when there are the most customers, and her appearance easily attracts the attention of the restaurant guests. Xiang Hui couldn't help laughing, such an eye-catching beauty was his girlfriend, which made his man's vanity instantly satisfied.

As soon as Fei Qingya sat down, she asked, "Is that lawsuit over?" ”

Xiang Hui nodded and diligently served her vegetables and soup.

"Needless to say, it's definitely going to be very beautiful."

Xiang Hui smiled noncommittally.

The two began to eat with a smile and a smile. After a while, Xiang Hui put down the chopsticks in his hand and looked at Fei Qingya: "I will take a vacation for a while from tomorrow, let's go out to play." ”

Fei Qingya paused, put down her chopsticks, crossed her hands and hesitated for a while before saying, "I will be very busy in the next few days, and the itinerary is set." ”

The reason why she hesitated was because the two of them were busy with each other, and the relationship had been tepid, and Xiang Hui had never offered to accompany her, this was the first time he took the initiative to invite. But she was really too busy to get out. Seeing that Xiang Hui didn't say anything, she thought for a while and said, "My dear, you can accompany me tomorrow to watch a brand's new product launch show." ”

"I don't understand that."

"I just need you to stay with me. Our company has built several living halls in southwest cities, and we want to find a few suitable women's clothing brand agents. Tomorrow is the new product launch of C brand next spring and summer. ”

"C brand?" Xiang Hui suddenly remembered something.

"yes. Have you heard? ”

Xiang Hui nodded: "Last week, their company came to me with a dispute between an order and an agent. The case was too small, and I didn't want to take it, so I just asked the assistant to push it. ”

"It's better, you accompany me to have a look, and I'll learn about it by the way. Previously, the company had been in contact with us for market development, and we were hesitant to do it. Because this brand has done very well in the past few years, but it has declined in the past two years, we have studied mainly because the style of the product is deviated. I heard that there is a new design director this season, although this brand is not as good as in previous years, but in the current economic environment, it can still maintain its existing strength, and in general, it is still good. If the new design director can grasp the style of the product, the brand is still worth doing. So, we decided to check it out tomorrow. The conditions offered to us by the other party are also quite attractive, if you have seen their whole inventory, OK, we will place an order directly. ”

Xiang Hui reminded her: "If there is a dispute with the agent, it cannot be ruled out that the company's operation methods are despicable." ”

Fei Qingya smiled and picked up the chopsticks and said, "For me, the product comes first." For the rest, with you barrister, why should I worry? ”

Xiang Hui listened and showed a doting smile.

After eating, the two walked out of the restaurant.

Fei Qingya: "You don't have anything to do in the afternoon, right?" ”

Xiang Hui nodded his head.

"Then sit in my office."

Xiang Hui nodded with a smile and reached out to take Fei Qingya's hand. Only then did he discover that his girlfriend was wearing a string of wooden beads on her wrist. Fei Qingya likes to wear jewelry, and has always been fashionable and exquisite brand-name jewelry, and has never worn such wooden beads. Such beads felt familiar to him, and he remembered a girl wearing a wooden bead on her hand, but in a different style.

Xiang Hui looked straight at Fei Qingya's beads in his hand like this.

Fei Qingya turned the beads in his hand and told him, "This is a Vajra Bodhi bracelet that a friend wore back from a trip to Nepal." Is it good-looking? ”

"General." Xiang Hui told the truth.

"Actually, I don't think I'm very suitable for wearing it, but my friends have come back all the way. A piece of mind has to be worn for a few days. But it's quite popular now, and from time to time I see those celebrities wearing a big string on their hands. Fei Qingya said to herself, not realizing that her boyfriend didn't listen to her words.

Just such a simple string of Vajra Bodhi beads easily led Xiang Hui's thoughts to the sky. Nowadays, Buddhist beads have also become a popular ornament. In my memory, the beads were just a tool for someone to count, and later they were treasures in someone's heart. So many years have passed, and the string of Buddhist beads in my memory may have long been shattered, and disappeared without a trace with the past. But just such a simple string of Buddhist beads pulled back the uneasiness that Xiang Hui had just skimmed.

Fei Qingya seemed to sense the unpleasantness of Xiang Hui's sudden rise, and found that he glanced at the Buddha beads on his wrist from time to time. She didn't know what was wrong with the beads, but she sensitively felt that her boyfriend's unhappiness was obviously related to the beads in her hand. She didn't think about it, she directly took off the Buddhist beads on her wrist and stuffed them into her bag.

The C brand's spring/summer launch was held at a resort on the outskirts of G City, and the time was set for 4 p.m. In order to allow agents to order honestly and not run around, the company will choose to hold each order meeting in a resort or a large hotel far away from the city with inconvenient transportation.

Early in the morning, the employees of Rosewood Life are busy. According to the flight and train time reported by the customer in advance, the administrative department arranges the pick-up, and after sending it to the hotel, it is handed over to the staff in charge of the reception of the marketing center, and then goes to the airport and railway station. The driver was so busy that he got on the bus in the morning and got off at the end of the night, and even lunch and dinner were solved in the car. The person in charge of arranging food and lodging wrote until his hands were too weak to lift a pen. The phone of the manager of the administrative department, who was the commander of logistics, rang from morning to night, and the phone was so hot that he had to worry that it would explode at any moment. The employees of the marketing center smiled at the customers until their faces stiffened, as if they were playing one, two, three wooden people. The colleagues of the promotion department were even more difficult, and they went to the hotel overnight last night to take the catwalk and set up the stage. The design department struggled until three o'clock last night, and rushed to the hotel early this morning for a rehearsal.

Ansu was busy like a spinning top, and finally finalized the model's shape, the temporary adjustment of the catwalk clothing, and the matching of accessories had to be seen in person. The first time she worked with this design team, it was difficult to have a tacit understanding without one or two seasons of running-in, so she had to do it herself. It wasn't until after the rehearsal with makeup that she took a breath and remembered that she hadn't eaten lunch. She was so busy that she didn't even know she was hungry. Just from time to time, I will stuff a lump of sugar into my mouth to prevent my blood sugar from getting too low and fainting. She was exhausted from working overtime for days, and she didn't have any appetite at all, just to rest quietly on the sofa in the lounge.

As soon as I entered the lounge backstage, before my butt touched the sofa, Ansu's phone rang, and it was Ji Ya, the manager of the commodity department, who called. Jiya told Ansu that the order manual had been updated and placed at the reception desk in the lobby. The customer she received had already arrived, and she didn't have time to pick it up for Ansu, so she asked her to pick it up herself.

Hanging up the phone, Ansu walked out of the lounge and took the elevator to the lobby.

Xiang Hui accompanied Fei Qingya to participate in the new product launch of the C brand, took off the usual suit, changed into casual clothes, a simple white T-shirt with dark gray slacks, and the shoes were also replaced with black sports leather shoes. smiled at Fei Qingya from time to time, and the full image of a warm man made it impossible to associate him with the barrister who stood in the courtroom and confronted others.

This time to participate in the order meeting, Fei Qingya brought two employees of the company to come together. It was Xia Bizhu who received them, checked them in, and introduced the process and arrangements of this order meeting in detail, and the four of them went upstairs with their luggage. While waiting for the elevator, Xiang Hui answered a phone call. Fei Qingya carefully took the luggage in his hand, and Xiang Hui nodded and smiled at her.

Xiang Hui only said a few words on the phone and hung up. When he turned around and reached for his girlfriend's luggage, the elevator door opened, and several people walked out, one of whom passed him. He didn't see the woman's face, only the beads on her wrist. It was just a quick glance, but it also made him clearly see that it was an old string of Buddhist beads, which had been around for many years. The shiny black wooden beads seem to be sealed with untold stories.

It seems that these days, it is really popular to use Buddhist beads as ornaments.
