Chapter 8 What you like is what I like
Qiao Ziluo looked at the holiday notice on the computer screen in a daze. This year www.biquge.info Chinese New Year's Eve Eve is February 9th, which means that the seven days from February 9th to February 15th are annual holidays!
Today is the February 3rd Festival of the Stove, which is also a small year, and it is a prelude before the Spring Festival. Today, my mother will make dumplings for me to eat, which means "sending off dumplings to the wind". There are many kinds of traditional Chinese festivals, which are an important part of China's long history and culture. Its beautiful meaning is nothing more than wishing for the peace and happiness of family and friends.
It's been half a month since the last time I got together with Dongyang, Jingxin, and the day! I didn't receive a call from Dongyang during this time. I've been feeling uneasy.
At the last meeting, Dongyang deliberately whispered in my ear when he was leaving, "Ziluo, I want to contact you to send you an email." It's the same email address you used to go to school. I will leave a small image of a sunflower on it, and that will represent me. β
When I think of Dongyang's current situation, I can't help but feel a little worried. After six years of deep friendship, how can you not worry about her? Ziluo rests his left hand on his cheek. Looking at the bracelet on his right wrist, he sighed helplessly.
Qiao Ziluo, for the first time, experienced the frustration of being powerless. It seems that there are some things that can only be done by one person. There are some levels that can only be passed by one person. Some roads can only be walked alone.
I'm putting together a list of New Year's gifts. The gifts listed on each gift list are the most popular items of the season from luxury brands. There are new bags from LV, Longines Swiss quartz watches, necklaces from Bulgari, men's eyeglass frames from Cartier, wallets from Gucci, watches from Vacheron Constantin, Omega watches, scarves from Hermès...... The combined value of these gifts is not worth a few million.
Who are these such valuable gifts going to give? Of course, it is a heavyweight who is helpful to Dingli Group! Needless to say, I guess you'll understand......
Gift-giving is a lubricant in the social arena and a sophisticated thermometer for human feelings. There are three things to learn about gift-giving: who to give it to, what to give it to, and how to give it.
Vacheron Constantin has a distinguished user in the social arena. Because of its high value, it is easy to cause a conversation. Therefore, some people should not wear it. Do you say yes or no? Hahaha......
Outside the office door of the administrative manager, there was a soft knock. Qiao Ziluo opened his mouth and said, "Please come in." β
I saw Mr. Cheng's secretary Li Wanning elegantly pushing the door in. Li Wanning, looking at the gift box in one place, couldn't help but exclaim: "So many? We use kraft wrapping paper to wrap gifts in the afternoon, and we can't wrap them for an afternoon? β
I looked at Li Wanning, and I couldn't help laughing at the rhythm that was about to collapse in disbelief.
"In the afternoon, I'll ask Sasha to come over and help. So Wanning, you don't have to panic too much. I promise, we'll leave work on time today. β
"Then let's get to work now!" I saw Li Wanning take off her suit jacket as she spoke, rolled up her sleeves and started the movements of her hands.
I said faintly, "Wanning, I have a number on each gift. And each number corresponds to a person's name. Don't get me wrong! The checklist is here, and you correspond to the packing.
Because they are all luxuries, they are expensive. Therefore, there should not be too many people who handle it. Do you say that white-collar workers are easy to mix now? have all "fallen" to the situation of packing for others......
After a busy afternoon, it was finally done at 4:30 pm! I saw Li Wanning take out her mobile phone and call Liu Yang (Mr. Cheng's driver).
"Xiao Liu, you will come to the administrative manager's office in a while. Then, put the gift in the Mercedes Benz van. Also, you go to the storeroom to borrow a trolley, there are too many things......
Li Wanning, it can be said that there are no details to explain. is worthy of being Cheng Zhiyuan's right-hand man, and he must bow down to everything. But her behavior is also the kind that is more prone to being stigmatized.
Financial director - Qian Baoru doesn't like her very much, I remember that once Sister Qian mentioned Li Wanning, saying that she likes to take advantage. once secretly withheld the gift given by Mr. Cheng. Because sometimes it takes several gifts to give to one person, leaving one of them will not be noticed.
Qian Baoru said: "These things, even if she knows, she won't say them." She has nothing to do with this kind of troubled water, and she can't go to play with it...... also said: Mr. Cheng may not know, maybe he pretends not to know? β
That's office politics! When the water is clear, there are no fish, and everyone knows what is going on with each other. Then no one should expose anyone's shortcomings. Hello me, hello everyone......
Therefore, when Liu Yang and Li Wanning put all the gifts on the trolley, I asked them both to sign and confirm on the gift list before releasing them. Do I care if they are clear or cloudy? Don't drag me into the water. Anyway, it's okay to go through this part of my hands.
I raised my wrist and looked at the time, it was almost 5 o'clock! Get ready to leave work.
In the winter in the north, it gets dark early. It's already lit up outside! Qiao Ziluo put on a lambswool coat. It looks like the whole person is fluffy, showing a different style of delicate and cute. With her hands in her coat pockets, she silently watched the night scene outside the floor-to-ceiling window.
There was a knock on the door, which instantly pulled back her thoughts, "Please come in." Qiao Ziluo responded softly. But Zi Luo never expected that this person would be Jin Pengxuan. However, Ziluo didn't understand what he could do with her after work?
Ziluo smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Jin, is there anything I need to do?" β
I saw him with his hands in his trouser pockets, his eyes resting on Ziluo's face, and his thin lips shallowly outlined a perfect arc. is looking at Ziluo with inquiring eyes.
The question was not answered: "Ziluo, why are you so lonely." β
Qiao Ziluo was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer him. She and he had only crossed paths a few times, and he had invited me to a big dinner once. In a way, he's my boss. Cheng Cheng always said: Let me cooperate with Jin Shao's work.
But he cares so much about whether my mood is good or bad, has he transcended the relationship between superiors and subordinates? Sounds weird. Ziluo, laughing without saying a word......
Jin Pengxuan looked at Qiao Ziluo and said in a reasonable tone: "I want you to accompany me to the mall to buy some things, the refrigerator at home is empty!" Timely margin replenishment is required. β
The reasons for this are far-fetched. But what can I say? I can't say that you Jin Shao still need to accompany me if you want to buy something? You can't respond even if you beckon.
"Then let's go now! I'll take you to the supermarket in Washington to buy something. There is a wide range of things there. And it's relatively high-end. Qiao Ziluo said as he picked up his backpack and walked out of the office door.
Jin Pengxuan looked at her delicate back, his faint thin lips curved into a shallow arc. I want to look gentle and lovely on the outside, but in fact there is a sense of arrogance in my bones. Dragging......
Jin Pengxuan held the steering wheel with one hand, and the other hand was casually on the steering wheel. The demeanor is casual and very good-looking. While waiting for the signal light, he turned his head sideways to look at Ziluo beside him and asked, "Do you still have to go straight after this post?" β
Qiao Ziluo looked ahead through the windshield. did not answer Jin Pengxuan's question, but instead said softly with the corners of his mouth raised: "Jin Shao, you don't leave the red light; You don't go with the green light. Don't you have a color you like? β
When he heard me say this, he glanced ahead, and the corners of his mouth twitched. At this time, the rear car also sounded the sound of honking at the right time...... Urging the car in front to hurry forward. Jin Pengxuan stepped on the accelerator, and the car immediately drove forward......
The car was parked in the underground parking lot in Washington. Jin Pengxuan and Qiao Ziluo stepped into the elevator back and forth. He went in first, pressing the door button. I'm afraid that the elevator will catch Ziluo. His tall figure stood casually in the center, looking directly at the mirrored doorway, his eyes locked on the delicate figure behind him.
At this point, the elevator door clangs open. Ziluo walked out first. Jin Pengxuan followed her and walked to her side. The two walked together, and in the eyes of outsiders, they were really a good match. The height of the woman's slender waist and long legs is 1.68, and she is half a head shorter when she stands beside the man. The height of the man is 180, and the body proportion is also super good, and the waist is full of legs. The two of them casually strolled around the supermarket, which attracted the attention of many people......
Jin Pengxuan stuffed a few fruits into the shopping cart. It seems that the eating habits are also relatively healthy. He walked to the counter selling Liao cucumber and asked the salesperson to wrap two gift boxes. I glanced at him with a vague smile and quickly withdrew my gaze.
I slandered in my heart: At such a young age, I began to take supplements. Even if he has been among thousands of flowers, he will advance and retreat freely without touching the leaves. In the end, it still hurts the kidneys!
"Hey...... Qiao Ziluo, what are you thinking when you look down? β
Qiao Ziluo raised his head to meet his gaze, "Huh?" I'm wondering if you should go to the quick-frozen area to buy some, dumplings, wontons, siu mai, glutinous rice balls and the like...... So you can cook it whenever you're hungry.
Jin Pengxuan raised his eyebrows, and then followed Ziluo to the quick-freezing area. "Whoa! This brand of mustard ratons is the best, and this Guangdong siu mai is also good, and this brand of black sesame rice balls is delicious......"
Zi Luo, pointing his fingers and talking there. Jin Pengxuan was also very cooperative with her. Zi Luo said the same, and he took the same after him. Zi Luo came back to his senses and felt that it was really inappropriate for him to say this, it must be what he Jin Pengxuan wanted to eat. How can you demand him according to your own taste!
I stroked the long straight hair on my shoulders and smiled embarrassedly at Jin Pengxuan behind me. "This is my personal opinion after tasting it, Jin Shao, you like to eat what you like to choose according to your taste."
He looked at Ziluo with a smile on his face. "I like it when you help me choose things, what you like is what I like." How does that sound like that...... So...... What about ambiguity? Qiao Ziluo laughed dryly twice and did not respond.
Jin Pengxuan was carrying two large bags of things in his hand. Zi Luo followed him empty-handed. When he found a parking space, Jin Pengxuan said, "Ziluo, the car key is in my coat pocket." And motioned with his eyes for me to help him pull out the car door.
Zi Luo walked over generously, took out the key from his pocket, pressed the door button, and ...... The door opened! Zi Luo hurriedly opened the back box and asked him to stuff things in. Then he sat in the co-pilot's seat.
Jin Pengxuan drove the car away from the parking lot. Then he asked, "What do you want to eat?" β
"Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, and I want to go home to eat with my family. Don't Jin Shao have to accompany his family? Qiao Ziluo was chatting with Jin Pengxuan while flipping through the magazines in his car.
"Oh well! Straight to your home. I will go back to City B the day after tomorrow, and I will only be able to return to City S after the Spring Festival holiday. β
Qiao Ziluo: "Oh! "Yes. No other response was made.
"What are you looking at? So seriously! Jin Pengxuan glanced at the traveler she was flipping through in her hand out of the corner of her eye......
"I'm looking at Traveler, and there's one of them about Cambodia. See the smiling faces of these women and children. I don't understand that the conditions are very poor and the life is very hard. But it's strange how they are so happy. Even his eyes are very clear. β
"Don't tell me, you see this and start to think that what you're doing now doesn't make sense. Do you want to have a spiritual presence? Jin Pengxuan quipped.
"That's not true. I haven't figured it out yet, have I? It is necessary to separate the false and retain the true, which is the most harmful behavior to oneself and others. I live a very fake life, and others are very tired to watch. So why bother! β
The car was quiet again. He turned on the stereo in the car, and the music flowed out instantly, and the volume was very moderate, Qiao Ziluo turned his head sideways while enjoying the music. Looking out the car window at the neon lights......
"Jin Shao, thank you for sending me back." After Qiao Ziluo finished speaking, he opened the car door and stepped out of the car.
Jin Pengxuan also pushed open the car door and walked down. And called Ziluo, "Wait a minute, I have a few bottles of red wine sent by a friend here, and it's not convenient to bring them back to City B." You just took it home for the holidays. β
Qiao Ziluo, I wanted to open my mouth to refuse. However, Jin Pengxuan didn't give her that chance. I opened the back box and took out a cardboard box and handed it to me.
"What are you looking at? Hurry up! Although you have lost a little weight, you can't even hold 6 bottles of red wine, right? Jin Pengxuan said jokingly, handed the carton to Ziluo, and walked away without looking back......
Jin Pengxuan saw Qiao Ziluo's "staggering" walking from the rearview mirror. It seems that holding 6 bottles of red wine is really a bit difficult...... couldn't help but tug the corners of his mouth and smiled.
At this time, Jin Pengxuan's eyes were full of affection, and his smile was full of tenderness......
