After I sent Mi Cai the message that showed that she was fearless, she immediately called back, which surprised me a little, because since she went to the United States, there has always been a tacit understanding between us: we don't communicate directly on the phone about things that are not particularly important.

I answered the phone and didn't say anything, just waiting for Mi Cai to say something to me.

"Zhaoyang, why are you suddenly full of aggression?"

I almost blurted out, "It's too difficult at this stage, and I need this kind of aggression to break the ice that stands in front of me." ”

"Shopping malls are ever-changing, and being too aggressive will make people lose their overall vision, which is not good for the growth of a boss."

I smiled and said, "Standing at the height you are at, the overall situation is of course very important, because in addition to facing cruel market competition, there are also contradictions within the group, but I am only managing an inn now, and the environment I am in is not as complicated as yours, and the biggest enemy is myself, I need such aggressiveness to maintain my advantage." ”

Mi Cai was silent for a while before saying, "Maybe I'm too worried!" ”

"Are you calling to remind me of this?"

"It's not all ...... I want to hear your voice too. ”

I was stunned for a moment, and then I remembered that I didn't have much contact with Mi Cai in the past two days, and I could even say that I ignored it, and I couldn't help but ask myself, is this neglect also related to my excessive desire for success?

I can't say, but in the past few days, I have been really busy, I have almost no free time, and all my energy is spent on preparing for the meeting with Yang Congrong, but isn't Mi Cai busy?

"Why don't you speak?"

I came back to my senses and said to her with some apologies: "I was wondering how busy I was, I haven't been in touch with you for two days!" ”

Mi Cai didn't bother with me, smiled and changed the subject, and said, "Sing me a song." ”

"What song?"

"I have horns on my head and tails behind me, and no one knows how many secrets I have...... Okay, I've got you started, you can pick it up. ”

I smiled helplessly, this is a children's song that once embarrassed me, and now Mi Cai asked me to sing it again, mostly to give me a little punishment, so she is a very smart woman, and she will give me a reminder while saving face.

I pinched my throat and sang in a child's voice, and Mi Cai laughed as I listened......

After I finished singing, she said, "Thank you for singing this song for me, I feel a lot more relaxed, and I will be in a good state to work in the afternoon." ”

"I thought you were singing children's songs to punish me for not contacting you for the past two days!"

"Overthinking, huh?"

"Who made you so wilted before, how much pain I suffered! That's why there is such an inertial thinking......"

I was only halfway through my sentence when I heard her assistant on the other end of the phone reminding her to be on time for a business meeting.

After Mi Cai answered, he hurriedly said to me: "Zhaoyang, I have a meeting to attend soon, and we will talk about it in the evening." ”

"Hmm."

Before Mi Cai hung up the phone, she hurried up and hummed two nursery rhymes to me, which made me cry and laugh, in fact, she was not as indifferent as she seemed, sometimes very lively and childlike.

After the call ended, I put my phone aside, reminiscing about Mi Cai's singing before hanging up the phone, temporarily forgetting the pressure I would face tomorrow, and then I suddenly realized that maybe this was the real purpose of Mi Cai asking me to sing children's songs, not the punishment I thought.

……

Before the night was too deep, I sat up from my bed again and looked out the window with some distraction, and it took a long time to notice that there were so many stars twinkling in the sky tonight.

I lit a cigarette and took a few puffs before I remembered to look for the city in the sky in the starry sky.

I soon gave up, because I knew that the city was getting farther and farther away from my current self, but I couldn't figure out whether I was lost or whether the city was far away.

I snuffed out the cigarette butt in my hand, but at the moment before the smoke cleared, I saw the beautiful woman with long hair hanging down her shoulders, so I stared at her for a long time and asked myself: Is this a comfort or a gift to me before the city disappeared?

There is nothing more complicated in my life than this, and I have to think about it...... Think about it.

……

The next day, I woke up early in the morning, washed up, and drove to the breakfast shop where Janeway had made an appointment.

I went into the store, ordered breakfast, and waited about five minutes, and Janeway arrived at the agreed time, and she sat down across from me.

I handed her a drawer of xiaolongbao, and she politely thanked me and asked me, "How is it, how do you feel now?" ”

"The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, and it feels very calm."

Jian Wei smiled and said, "That's good." ”

I nodded, and then picked up the chopsticks and ate breakfast, but my heart was not as calm as I said, in fact, I was reluctant to meet Jian Boyu, but Jian Wei had already given me a reason why he had to go, I really had no way to refuse, I could only hope that when we met at noon, I could consciously regard him as an interview object, and I would not remember the refusal he once gave me from the commanding heights.

Janeway's appetite didn't seem to be as good as last night, so she just ate a xiaolongbao and drank a glass of soy milk before ending breakfast.

I didn't want her to wait long, so I sped up my breakfast.

"Zhaoyang, half past eleven o'clock at noon is the time for our appointment, you eat slowly, don't be in a hurry."

"Then you can eat a little more, there are still a few hours until noon!"

"I don't have much appetite."

"What's wrong?"

"I don't have an appetite when I think of seeing Jian Boyu."

I smiled and said, "You're kidding, aren't you?"

"Who is kidding you, I haven't been back to Shanghai for more than a month."

I asked tentatively in a joking tone, "To be honest, I also dislike your father, but is it necessary for you to be the same enemy as me now?" ”

"You're not right, the reason why I don't want to see him is because he gave me too much of a life that I didn't want when I was a kid."

Janeway's explanation was so flawless that I nodded and stopped thinking about it.

……

After another moment, I finished my breakfast, and because I had more time, Janeway and I did not leave the breakfast shop immediately, but took advantage of the gap to rest.

I looked at the time, it was just after eight o'clock in the morning, and Mi Cai, who was in New York at this time, should have finished work, so I sent her a WeChat message mischievously: "I'm going to Shanghai soon, and I'm suddenly nervous, you hurry up and sing a song to let me relax." ”

-- Today is busy during the day, time runs out, it's almost ten o'clock, and the following chapters are more important, so I won't rush to the second shift, so don't wait.
