Chapter 120: Xie Bing
Sure enough, on the way, Lin Xia's angry phone call came in.
"Nannan, what the hell is going on with you? Yesterday, I told you a thousand times not to be late, but you ...... Look, what time is it? The girls are all early, look at you...... It's so unbelievable, it's so unbelievable! You rush over to me right away, hurry up! ”
"Mom, don't worry, I have something to do temporarily, and I was asked by the leaders of the Construction Committee to talk, so I delayed it."
"The Construction Committee? What are you looking for? After all, he was concerned about his godson, Lin Xia still held back her dissatisfaction and asked anxiously.
"I went to the Construction Committee for a temporary post, and the appointment was down, I went to fill out the form and get the appointment documents, and at the same time, Director Hu of the Construction Committee also talked to me, and it was delayed for a few minutes."
"Okay, come over quickly, and I'll explain it to the girl." After speaking, Lin Xia hung up the phone.
Zhou Nan arrived at the Haidu Hotel ten minutes later. The café of the hotel was on the side of the road, and Lin Xia and the female officer were sitting by the window, so Zhou Nan saw the two of them at a glance.
Through the brown floor-to-ceiling glass, he saw the female officer sitting there, dressed in a well-fitting woolen winter dress, a red large-brimmed hat placed on the coffee table in an orderly manner, and her long black hair pulled into a bun. Zhou Nan actually only looked at a side back, but he faintly saw that his eyebrows were picturesque, but his expression was slightly cold.
Lin Xia also looked at Zhou Nan, smiled and pointed at Zhou Nan through the window and smiled, "Xiao Xie, this is our Zhou Nan." ”
The female officer who was carrying a two-star epaulette sighed and looked out the window. Zhou Nan, wearing a black trench coat and a white scarf around his neck, was tall and calmly behaved, and was striding up the marble steps of the Haidu Hotel.
Zhou Nan is not the kind of tall and handsome cream boy, but his face is angular and exuding a heroic spirit. Moreover, his temperament has a strong bookish atmosphere, and it can be seen at a glance that he is a "reader" with a high level of education.
Zhou Nan strode into the café, Lin Xia got up and raised her hand and said, "Nannan, come here, this way!" ”
When the female officer saw Lin Xia standing up, she also got up politely and glanced at Zhou Nan's path.
"Nannan, this is Xie Bing - Xie Bing, this is the Zhou Nan I told you." Lin Xia hurriedly introduced the two with a smile, and then glanced at Zhou Nan and quietly mentioned her bag.
Zhou Nan glanced at Xie Bing and found that this woman was born very exquisitely, strictly speaking, her facial features are not outstanding when she comes out alone, but she looks very perfect when gathered on one face, giving people a very elegant feeling. And the coldness between her eyebrows and eyes injected a bit of eye-catching charm into this perfect posture.
Her figure is slender, and the unfashionable military uniform can hardly hide her delicate and toned figure, but it has a little more sassy heroism. Zhou Nan only glanced at it, and remembered such a face deeply.
However, she is also a peerless beauty who captivates the country and the city, but compared with Lan Ruo, Xie Bing is still inferior after all, not in appearance, but in temperament. Lan Ruo's noble fragrance that originated from flesh and blood was not comparable to Xie Bing. But Xie Bing's coldness and heroism are enough to make up for the nobility of this temperament.
Zhou Nan was looking at Xie Bing, and Xie Bing was also looking at him. To be honest, Xie Bing was slightly surprised in his heart. According to her empiricist logic, the children of eunuchs like Zhou Nan, especially his father, who is still the No. 1 real power figure in Haidu, should be a type of person with a more flamboyant temperament and arrogant demeanor.
But Zhou Nan in front of him was mature, steady, introverted, and full of bookishness, which Xie Bing didn't expect.
However, after all, it was just a hurry, and Xie Bing didn't take it to heart. In fact, Zhou Nan has nothing to do with her, and she can agree to meet with Zhou Nan today, but she can't refute the leader's face.
"Hello, please be seated." Zhou Nan smiled and stretched out his hand.
"Hello." Xie Bing stretched out his slender and pink little hand and let Zhou Nan shake it, and then Yingying did it. The movements are very elegant, and this elegant and gentle demeanor makes Zhou Nan subconsciously think of Meng Chunting.
"Drink something?" After all, it's a man, Zhou Nan took the initiative to greet.
"Whatever you want." Xie Bing's brows slowly relaxed, and he smiled faintly.
Zhou Nan's brows furrowed secretly, this little girl seemed to be a little cold. However, he had the same coping mentality as Xie Bing, and when he saw that she was not very enthusiastic, he didn't say anything anymore.
After ordering two cups of coffee and a few plates of snacks, the two stopped talking and looked out the window silently. Zhou Nan was embarrassed to look at the other party directly, for fear that the other party would treat him as a lustful apprentice, otherwise, people would go back and tell the introducer, who is Zhou Nan, the whole pervert. Although he had no intention of "talking" with the other party, Zhou Nan did not want to ruin his image.
And Xie Bing is simply indifferent. There are more men who pursue her and surround her, and there are many excellent people among them, although Zhou Nan is not bad, but in Xie Bing's eyes, it is nothing.
It's just that she has long been accustomed to the stars holding the moon, and almost all men are doing their best to please her when they get along alone, but Zhou Nan is lukewarm, and her words and demeanor also reveal a little perfunctory, which makes Xie Bing feel a little unhappy in her heart.
The coffee was served, Xie Bing stirred it slowly and methodically, and then leaned over to take a small sip.
Zhou Nan glanced at her, shook his head secretly and smiled, and drank coffee.
The atmosphere was very dull, and Zhou Nan knew in his heart that after drinking this cup of coffee, the two of them should say goodbye to each other, and from then on there would be no more relationship, and from then on, the clouds would be light and light.
"Is Miss Xie from Haidu? Or is it only a soldier in Haidu? Drinking coffee, Zhou Nan asked casually.
"My family is in the provincial capital, I am a soldier in Haidu, and I have been in Haidu for 3 years." Out of politeness, Xie Bing also replied softly.
After these two sentences of dialogue, the two of them had nothing to say at all, and each drank coffee. If it weren't for the coffee being too hot, Zhou Nan wondered if he should drink it in one gulp, and then said goodbye and left.
I'm afraid that Xie Bing feels the same way in his heart.
But the so-called people don't leave people and the sky keeps people, if God is destined to have some fate that the two can't escape from fate, whether it is Zhou Nan or Xie Bing, how can they escape the arrangement of fate.
In a matter of moments, the originally clear sky was suddenly overcast, the cold northwest wind was howling, and a sudden sleet suddenly came, and it was dark, and the pedestrians on the road ran and disappeared without a trace.
It started out as sleet, but then it was a torrential downpour. The rain curtain thundered and made a loud noise.
Xie Bing frowned, and Zhou Nan was also a little irritable-this is not the Spring Festival yet, why is it raining so well! It's really evil...... Evil Door!
……
……
The rain is getting heavier and heavier, and the wind and rain are sudden, and the momentum is magnificent. In the café, a broadcast from Haidu Radio said that Typhoon Anna had made landfall along the coast of Haidu ahead of schedule, and asked the citizens to make preparations for typhoons. As a coastal city, violent typhoons often hit, and for the citizens of Haidu, this is also a common thing.
"What kind of weather forecast is this, the typhoon is coming, and the forecast is coming?" Zhou Nan couldn't help but mutter, Xie Bing glanced at him lightly, "The weather station issued a typhoon warning the day before yesterday, but I didn't expect it to come so soon!" ”
Zhou Nan sighed.
Looking at the increasingly fierce rain and wind outside the window, Xie Bing frowned, Huo Ran got up and said, "I'm sorry, I have to rush back, I have to go home for the New Year on my annual leave on the train at 12 noon." ”
Zhou Nan also smiled, stood up and said, "But the storm is so big, Miss Xie can't get a car, otherwise wait?" Wait for the rain to light up and then go! ”
Zhou Nan said it casually, and there was no real earnest intention to retain. But Xie Bing raised his wrist and looked at his watch, but he still sat back with a frown.
As soon as she sat back like this, Zhou Nan could only sit with her. The atmosphere was still dull and awkward, and the two of them still turned their heads to look out the window and were silent.
Zhou Nan's big brother's phone rang suddenly, Zhou Nan took it out, and saw that it was Lin Xia's phone, so he picked it up. Xie Bing just glanced back and turned his head away.
"Hey, Mom—"
Zhou Nan just said hello to Lin Xia, and Lin Xia giggled, "How about it, Nannan, today's God is really beautiful, creating such a good opportunity for you to get along - by the way, Xie Bing is going to rush back to the provincial capital for the New Year at noon, I think she probably missed the train this time, don't you have a car, you take the initiative and send people to the provincial capital!" Two hours motorway drive ......"
Zhou Nan smiled bitterly in his heart, what kind of energy are you arranging for? Don't say I haven't had time to send her yet, even if I want to, will people be willing to let me send it?
But Zhou Nan couldn't say anything more in front of Xie Bing, so he could only be vague.
"Okay, give Xiao Xie the phone, and I'll say a few words to her."
Zhou Nan had no choice but to hand the phone to Xie Bing.
Xie Bing took it and smiled lightly, "Aunt Lin, I'm Xie Bing, do you have something to do with me?" ”
"Xiao Xie, Auntie heard Lao Meng (Xie Bing's section chief) say, you have to rush back to the provincial capital by train at 12 noon, right? Look at how hard the rain is now that you can't catch the train...... In this way, Xiao Xie, don't worry, let our family Zhou Nan send you ...... He has a car, take you back to the provincial capital at high speed, and it will be down in two hours...... Why are you so polite? We're all family...... What is my relationship with Lao Meng? That's a good sister who grew up together......"
Listening to Lin Xia talking to Xie Bing on the phone, Zhou Nan secretly smiled bitterly, and said in his heart that this might be the bureau arranged by his godmother and her sister Lao Meng, even if there was no storm today, they would find an excuse to create an opportunity for themselves to be alone with Xie Bing.
Although Zhou Nan had no intention of pursuing Xie Bing, Lin Xia still moved him a little by his "ancient way of warmth". After recognizing this godmother, Lin Xia really didn't say anything to him, she simply treated Zhou Nan as her own son.
Returning the phone to Zhou Nan, Xie Bing hesitated, but said softly, "I'm sorry for you." ”
Zhou Nan was stunned, and said in his heart, I haven't promised to send you yet, what are you thanking for?
He shook his head secretly, and said in his heart, forget it, just send it, even if it is in front of the godmother, it can't be too rude. Thinking of this, he smiled, "Miss Xie is polite, it's okay to behave." ”
Xie Bing frowned without a trace, and said softly, "I'm sorry, I'm a soldier, you might as well call me Xie Bing...... I don't really like the title Miss Xie. ”
"Hehe, okay. Xie - Xie Bing, what are you doing in the security area? I know that female soldiers include literary and artistic soldiers and communication soldiers, but I don't know what kind of army you are? After such a while, the atmosphere eased slightly, and Zhou Nan asked along with the words.
"I studied communications, and now I'm working as a confidential secretary in the headquarters." Xie Bing turned around and smiled. Although his demeanor was still a little cold, it was much softer than Fang Cai.
……
……
At about half past 12 noon, the storm gradually stopped. For coastal cities such as Haidu, the storms caused by typhoons come and go quickly, and the clouds quickly disperse. The drainage system of the city is good and there are not many traces of water on the pavement.
Sun Ge, the driver of Feiteng Company, drove the car over, parked downstairs, smiled respectfully at Zhou Nan and Xie Bing, who greeted him, and handed over the key, "Mr. Zhou!" ”
"Well, you can take a taxi back by yourself, and I'll do something with the car." Zhou Nan smiled, stepped forward and opened the car door, "Xie Bing, get in the car." ”
After getting into the car, Zhou Nan drove straight to the green barracks where the Haidu Garrison Command was located. Xie Bing got out of the car, walked into the camp with light steps, and walked out with a big bag in a short time.
Zhou Nan hesitated, but took the initiative to get out of the car and ran over to take the bag from Xie Bing, and then lifted it and put it in the trunk.
Zhou Nan opened the co-pilot's position, Xie Bing hesitated, shook his head, and sat in the back. Zhou Nan shrugged his shoulders, he was just an unintentional act, and he didn't have the intention of taking the opportunity to get close to the beauty. As for whether Xie Bing sits in the front or in the back, it makes no difference to him.
While driving, Zhou Nan made a phone call to Sun Xiaolan and told her that she had something to do to leave Haidu and would rush back in the evening. Then Zhou Nan called Zhang Ying again and asked about the company.
When the car was about to get on the highway, Zhou Nan's big brother rang again. Zhou Nan was just about to pick up the phone, but he heard Xie Bing behind him say softly, "Driving and making a phone call violates traffic rules, it's very dangerous, you pay attention!" ”
Zhou Nan was stunned, smiled, and then pressed the phone down and didn't answer.
"Can I borrow your phone for use, I want to call home." Xie Bing's soft, slightly indifferent voice sounded again.
Zhou Nan was speechless, grabbed the big brother who was put aside, and handed it over.
Xie Bing took it and smiled, "Thank you." ”
