Chapter Twenty-Five: Peaks and Loops

Liu Zihe came to the door of Yan Qing's office out of breath, and he didn't care about any makeup and appearance, so he forgot to knock on the door, and directly pushed the door open and went in.

"Mr. Yan, I'm ...... I'm back."

Liu Zihe's face turned red all the way away, he was panting when he spoke, and he was standing in Yan Qing's office with his hands on his chest to calm his breath.

Yan Qing stood up, poured a glass of water and put it on the coffee table, and asked Liu Zihe to sit on the sofa opposite for a while.

"Mr. Yan, Zixi really had an accident, I didn't lie to you, since I entered her company in the morning, I heard the whole company talking about the bidding, and I heard it"

Liu Zihe didn't finish speaking, he felt his throat as dry as fire, and he needed to moisturize it, so he stopped the topic and took a sip of the water cup.

"What else have you heard!"

Yan Qing saw that Liu Zihe stopped his mouth at the most critical moment and continued to ask.

"Her company staff also said that this matter is evidenced by a video, and the boss will deal with Zixi ruthlessly, which may affect our company's cooperation."

Liu Zihe's every sentence and even every word made Yan Qing's heart beat at this time, and what made him even more puzzled was the video problem.

"What video? Show me."

"Maybe I asked too many questions at the time, and her company staff was wary of me, not to mention the video, and even the next chat was interrupted."

Liu Zihe's tone was slightly regretful, as if she had messed up something herself, sitting on the sofa with her head down, holding each other's hands together and rubbing them around.

Yan Qing, who listened to these words, gradually felt a complex feeling of involuntary guilt and unease in the depths of her heart for this woman who could ignore Qiē for herself, and slowly floated, as if she was gradually floating to the surface from the bottom of the sea. A feeling of being very sorry for Zixi rushed to the top of his head with some kind of inexplicable pressure from his heart.

"In this way, don't go to her company without my arrangement recently, you have to avoid the edge like this, go back to your office first, I'll call you if there is something"

"Okay, I see, then you can get busy first"

Hearing Yan Qing's words, Liu Zihe recovered from the physical exercise just now, got up and walked out of the president's office after a short break.

Yan Qing watched Liu Zihe go out, so she locked the door from the inside and sat back at the desk, unable to calm down the complicated and chaotic feelings for a long time.

He has never had such a relationship since the last time he decided to return to the original point because of an emotional misunderstanding between Liu Zihe and Zixi after he entered the company as a new assistant.

He told himself more than once in his heart that it was impossible to reunite with such a woman, but today, after hearing all the news about her workplace just now, he sprouted a grateful love for such a woman who can be infatuated with love and ignore it.

Yan Qing looked at the Tibetan gilt incense burner on the table, took out a Tibetan incense stick from the incense box next to it, lit it with a Zippo commemorative lighter and put it in the incense burner, and the green smoke drifted out along the gap between the lid of the incense burner.

Yan Qing sat in the office and smelled the green smoke that had become a little psychedelic, and seemed to be able to put herself in Zixi's current situation.

In one day, the threshold of the director's office in the original city can be stepped on, and now in addition to a few unavoidable documents to be handed over for review and signature, there is still some emotion left in the quiet office, and he has been accompanying Zixi through this day of sitting on pins and needles.

Zixi can be regarded as a little anxious and anxious in order to put the work at hand on the music on the computer all the time, and he listened to music all day long, and unconsciously drank several cups of strong coffee.

Zixi, who came home at night, didn't change his pajamas, so he threw himself into the sofa alone, and didn't even eat dinner, but bought a cup of yogurt and drank it when he passed by the bakery in Yuanmai Hill after work.

Nuoda's apartment seems a little empty, empty and frightening, Zixi turned on all the lights in the room one by one, and all the lights illuminated every corner of the room with temperature, she felt that this was the best way to think of the best way to dispel the darkness, to dispel the darkness that can be felt in reality, but the darkness in the heart is to be dispelled, it is just the psychological effect of the body feeling the environment.

Walking barefoot on the floor of the living room, this is a habit of her life for many years, and she feels that this is the only way to feel the feelings of the world in the most real way. Slowly walked to the front of the gramophone, when the boss told her that it was a brand of Vannishi, but the nameplate had long been worn out to the point that it could not be seen clearly, anyway, it was listening to the sound effect at the time, so I bought it as expensive as it was.

She rummaged back and forth from the cabinet next to her for a long time, and the small cabinet was full of about 100 vinyl records collected from the market, and finally took out Faye Wong's one and carefully put it on the gramophone.

Zixi curled up on the sofa in the apartment alone, the temperature in the room was not very low, but she still felt a little chilly in the empty house.

She got up and walked to the gramophone, took the bottle of micro-aged tequila that her classmates had brought back from Mexico to the living room coffee table, took out a cup from the wine cabinet and poured a glass, and drank it all in one breath.

After Yan Qing came home from work, he couldn't calm the waves in his heart like before, as if he had been stirred up by someone, all the substances were mixed and rolled in his heart, and the words that Liu Zihe said during the day appeared in his mind repeatedly, and he couldn't stop.

After Yan Qing had dinner at home, she drove the red Maserati all the way to the downstairs of Zixi's apartment with the route in her last memory, and saw that the lights were still on in Zixi's house.

He sat in the car, leaning on the seat, holding his mobile phone in his hand for a long time, he didn't know what to say when the phone was connected and he heard Zixi's voice, his thoughts were like the temperature of midsummer, and it took a long time for time to evaporate before he lit up the phone screen and dialed Zixi.

Zixi was still lying on the sofa, drinking a third of the tequila on the coffee table in the living room with the bottle open, and the phone fell on the floor next to the sofa.

Just when Zixi was still in a trance state of half-asleep and half-awake, she heard the ringtone of the mobile phone, and she didn't bother to get up and fumbled around with her hand to find the phone, and she didn't find where the phone was after touching it for a long time, but she heard the ringtone ringing like in front of her ears, a feeling that she was far away in front of her eyes.

She moved her body, her eyes swept to the floor, and the mobile phone she abandoned was lying quietly on the edge of the sofa, and she picked it up and saw that it was Yanqing's phone.

Zixi felt that Yan Qing was like a match at this time, and the slightest trace of his spark might burst out unscrupulously, and all the feelings that were about to be precipitated also broke through the barrier, and he hung up decisively without answering, but kept the phone in his hand.

After Yan Qing hung up the phone, he sat in the car without any hesitation and dialed it again.

"If you don't answer today, I'll keep calling you downstairs until dawn, unless you turn off the phone" Yan Qing thought firmly in her heart while dialing the phone.

Before Zixi hung up the mobile phone in her hand, she saw another call from Yan Qing on the lit screen, and she still picked it up after staring at the screen for about ten seconds.

"I'll wait for you downstairs at your house, if you don't come down, I'll wait for you all night, and you'll always go to work tomorrow."

After Yan Qing finished speaking, she was about to hang up the phone, Zixi understood, and at this time, Yan Qing could not express her emotions on the phone.

"I'm here! You wait, don't hang up."

Zixi sat up from the sofa suddenly, grabbed the phone in his hand and ran to the window, looking downstairs, Yan Qing was sitting in a Maserati convertible sports car, looking up at himself upstairs.

She turned around and rushed out of the door, and Zixi, who wanted to appear in front of Yan Qing's eyes as quickly as possible, ran out of the door with the phone in her ear all the way without realizing that she was still barefoot and not wearing anything.

"Don't hang up! Yan Qing, don't hang up the phone, that's fine, I'll be there right away"

Zixi went upstairs barefoot and stopped in front of the apartment building like this.

Zixi took the phone and walked straight to Yan Qing's car, opened the passenger door directly and sat in.

Yan Qing can see this scene clearly, you must know that when Zi Xiguang stepped on the ground, every step seemed to be stepping on Yan Qing's heart, stepping on the seal deeply, but Zixi may have been concentrating, and he didn't feel any discomfort, just like he usually walked.

"What are you doing with me! No rest so late"

Zixi sat in the car to avoid Yan Qing's gaze, lowered his head and said.

"You don't have to hide it from me, I know everything about you, I'm sorry"

Yan Qing looked at Zixi's expressionless face and said in a guilty tone.

"What do you apologize for! apologize to others inexplicably at every turn, do you think this is very gentlemanly! Besides, I have nothing to do with you willingly."

"Don't be like this, it's my career needs that make you willing to pay, and you will be embattled in the company"

Yan Qing said as she spoke, trying to gently pull Zixi's body to her side.

"Are you here to apologize to me? If that's the case, then I'll go back first, and you can rest early."

Zixi was about to turn around and pull the car door to leave, but Yan Qing pulled him back and hugged him directly in his arms, Yan Qing didn't care about any image problems and kissed Zixi directly, and Zixi was like a captive who was extremely happy and surrendered without thinking, without any struggle and resistance.

This night, in the car, the lips of the two were tightly attached together by the street lamp in the community, Zixi's lips and breath still carried the wine smell of tequila that had not dissipated, and gradually penetrated into Yan Qing's mouth, and the breath of the two blended with each other and invaded each other's bodies through their lips, no one wanted to leave, and at that moment Yan Qing seemed to be drunk with Zixi

……

After the separation late at night, Yan Qing decided to help Zixi get through this hurdle, his friendship with the boss of Zixi's company is very good, when his father was in charge of the company, he remembered countless times to follow his father to play golf with the boss of Zixi's company.

Yan Qing wanted to pick up the phone and call Liu Zihe, but after looking at the phone, he immediately stopped his fingers, fortunately, he didn't dial out, and it was already more than one o'clock in the morning. He saw that it was late at night, so he didn't go home, but drove directly to the villa in Xiangshan.

Early the next morning, Yan Qing picked up her mobile phone and dialed Liu Zihe before she left the villa.

"Mr. Yan, it's so early, what's the matter?"

Liu Zihe's muffled voice came from the other end of the phone, and she still had toothpaste water in her mouth when she got up and was brushing her teeth.

"Are you having breakfast? Why is it so unclear to speak? ”

"Now it's clear, the signal was not good just now, you said there was something I needed to do"

Liu Zihe spit out the toothpaste water in her mouth and wiped her mouth, walked out of the bathroom and lied about the signal problem, she didn't want Yan Qing to think of her embarrassment when she washed up in the morning.

"I have something to deal with today, the company can't get over there, you go to the company for a while to worry about more snacks, if there is anything to report to me by phone in time, remember to eat breakfast well, and remember to water the flowers in my office, understand!"

This tone is like a husband and wife, but fortunately, Liu Zihe, who is relatively simple, as the assistant to the president, did not think about it.

"Okay, I understand"

It may be that he was reprimanded by Yan Qing from time to time before, and Liu Zihe, who always had to break the casserole and ask to the end, also changed his habit of asking questions and became simpler.

After Yan Qing hung up the phone, he rummaged through the contacts several times before he found the phone number of Mr. Wang of Zixi Company [Wang Feng, the CEO of Zixi Company, loves golf, and there are thousands of expensive golf clubs in the villa, and Yan Qing's father is a peer and a very good friend, since Yan Qing took over the company, although the two have little personal communication, the relationship between the two companies is still very harmonious]

"Uncle Wang, are you busy today?"

As a junior, Yan Qing picked up the phone and politely called Uncle Wang.

"It's Yanqing, I haven't seen you for a while, are you and your father okay?"

"It's good, Uncle Wang, the weather is good today, I want to ask you out to play golf today, I don't know if it's okay?"

"Hehe, my nephew asked me out, how can I have no time"

Mr. Wang heard a voice that he hadn't heard for a long time, and Yan Qing, a nephew, was also recognized by him because of his character and upbringing, and it was not a relationship with relatives.

"Uncle Wang, then I'll drive to the company to pick you up?"

Yan Qing's little abacus in his heart was thinking again, and he could still meet Zixi by the way when he went to his uncle's company, so it was logical that he would not provoke unwarranted criticism.

"Don't run this trip, how tired, you just wait for me at the golf course, the one I've been going to before, I just have a small meeting, just ask the driver to send me over after a while"

As Mr. Wang spoke, he suddenly thought that there was a marketing meeting to be held, so he asked Yan Qing to go first.

"Okay, Uncle Wang, then I'll go over to warm up first, I really miss you a little bit after I haven't seen you for a long time."

"Hehe, my nephew is getting better and better at talking, see you later"

Yan Qing hung up the phone, put the golf club in the trunk of the car, changed his clothes and went straight to the golf course.

He waited on the golf course for almost an hour, and played dozens of balls before he saw Uncle Wang's familiar figure walking slowly towards him.

"I'm so sorry, I've been too busy in the company lately, and I'm late."

After Mr. Wang saw Yan Qing, he didn't say anything but apologized first.

"It's okay, Uncle Wang, I haven't seen you for a long time, and I'm much younger"

"Really? It's not like I'm young, but I've been feeling good lately."

Hearing his nephew praise himself like this, Mr. Wang's heart was as happy as if he was wrapped in honey.

The two didn't say a few words and first took their golf clubs for a few rounds.

"I heard from the company that you won the jackpot in the bidding this time, and our two companies have the opportunity to cooperate again, congratulations"

"Look at what you said, Uncle Wang, in fact, I'm just lucky."

Yan Qing was about to pick up the club and hit another one, when he heard Mr. Wang next to him say this, so he stopped.

"Uncle Wang, I heard that Zixi, the director of your company in charge of the bidding project this time, has something wrong? I have heard of her reputation in the industry, and I have heard that this person's work ability and professional accomplishment are still well-known."

Yan Qing is still young after all, and he wants to ask about Zixi's future questions straight to the point, but after a while, he deliberately avoided the center of the topic.

"Hey! She really doesn't know how to do it! It's such a simple bidding, don't say it's her, I haven't been very willing to go out of the office in the company recently, I'm almost autistic, but fortunately, you asked me to come out to play."

Speaking of his most proud subordinate Zixi, Mr. Wang also sighed with a sad face.

"In fact, Zixi, a girl, has been very optimistic about her since she joined the company, she is young, beautiful and has an outstanding temperament, needless to say, the company can't find a second one, I have decided to promote her to the company's deputy amp; amp; amp; lt; VP amp; amp; amp; gt; , I wanted to make it better by bidding for this, but now it's done, alas-"

Mr. Wang talked about Zixi and sighed again and again, slightly disappointed, but it could be seen that in his heart, Zixi was still the best candidate to take over as vice president.

"Uncle Wang, there is a saying that counts me as a mouthful, it is really good to listen to your words, there is an old Chinese saying - people are not sages, who can do nothing, don't you say?"

Yan Qing looked at some hope and quickly took over the conversation and added.

"That's right!"

Mr. Wang propped the club on the ground and nodded as if it made some sense.

"I can see that there will be no second person in your heart who is better than Zixi"

"Yan Qing, you!"

Mr. Wang gradually heard the taste of Yan Qing's words, but he was not angry, Mr. Wang did not really plan to deal with Zixi in this bidding matter, and Mr. Wang was very happy to hear the bidding results at that time, but the rumors in the company were flying all over the sky, and the most important thing was to slap Mr. Wang's face.

"In this way, Uncle Wang, I will give up 2 percentage points of profit in this cooperation, so that Zixi does not have to be affected by this matter for no reason, and secondly, let those who spread rumors see that this bidding is completely fair and just."

Yan Qing didn't know how he said fairness and justice, so he fluently expounded his thoughts.

Mr. Wang thought about it and didn't say anything more, just nodded in agreement.

The two of them still played around the golf course like uncles and nephews until after noon.

Time passed in a calm and the next afternoon, the company's high-level meeting was held as scheduled, and the boss's secretary Xiaoxi arranged to clean the conference room early.

Zixi put down her work and came to the office an hour early, this time she came much earlier than the head of any department, and wanted to feel the company she had worked so hard for so long before leaving.

"It's so early, it's too early, is it? You're not busy."

Xiaoxi, who came over to stare at the venue again, pushed open the door and saw that only Zixi was sitting alone in the conference room.

"Soon you won't have to be busy, will you?"

Zixi asked rhetorically about the stream not far from him.

Xiaoxi, who has been by the boss's side for so long, of course heard that there was a thorn in it, and after a look at it, Zixi glanced at it contemptuously and went out.

As the meeting time approached, one after another, the vice presidents of the company and the heads of various departments came to the conference room to sit down, and unlike in the past, none of the supervisors came to greet Zixi as enthusiastically as before, and even the previous false politeness was omitted.

The supervisors who came a little earlier deliberately avoided the two seats next to Zixi and sat in other places, only the manager of the planning department and a manager in charge of the company's logistics came a little later and sat next to Zixi, although Zixi had a very good opinion in his heart, but out of politeness, he still turned his head left and right and smiled slightly.

"Mr. Wang, all the participants are here, it's time to start"

Secretary Xiaoxi looked at the people at the venue, and came to the boss's side to inform the personnel of the attendance as usual.

"Now that we're here, let's get started, and let's talk about the recent performance of each department."

As soon as the boss sat in the middle of the venue and spoke, the audience was immediately divided into two factions, some of the supervisors said that their eyebrows flew to show off their abilities, and some of them wanted to hide under the table immediately.

"What I want to say is about the company's heavy bidding cooperation, through my efforts and cooperation, within the scope of my responsibility to ensure that the bidding will be successfully held, and the later reflection of the company participating in the bidding has given a high evaluation of our company's strength and venue standards, and the bidding meeting has also reached a very good cooperation intention with many companies in marketing."

When Fu Mengmeng said these words, in addition to the narcissistic endless invitation to merit, there was more hostility and pride towards Zixi sitting opposite.

She thought that standing up and saying this would win praise from the audience, and even worsen Zixi, who was already lonely, so as to provoke the anger in the boss's heart and completely defeat Zixi, so that Zixi would lose face in the company, but she never expected that this move would just help Zixi, and it also happened to give the boss a step down in the bidding matter.

"Fu Mengmeng is in charge of the marketing department, and he has really made a lot of contributions to the company's efficiency recently, which I think everyone can see."

Fu Mengmeng almost jumped up with joy when she heard this, her face was like a flower, although she didn't laugh out loud, but it was all written on her face.

"As for the bidding that Fu Mengmeng mentioned, she herself said that the bidding will be very successful, and I am very satisfied with it, and it will play a vital role in the company's market expansion and business expansion."

Seeing that the boss was so sure, Fu Mengmeng's buttocks were almost unable to sit still on the stool, and the excitement was indescribable.

"Of course, Zixi, the person in charge of the main project this time, has to say a few words to everyone, without her overall arrangement, I don't think the bidding meeting would have been so successful."

The boss took advantage of the topic to change the conversation, and the eyes of the audience focused on Zixi alone.

Zixi didn't notice that she had become the focus of the venue, from the beginning of the meeting, she closed her eyes and put her hands on her nose and waited for the belated trial result, let alone that what she thought in her heart was diametrically opposed to what the boss said at the meeting.

"Zixi-Zixi-Zixi......"

The boss shouted several times, but Zixi didn't have any reaction and still sat there indifferent, but fortunately, it was the planning manager next to her who pushed her.

"I want to say in the end that I still have a lot of feelings for this company, I don't need you to bomb me, I think it's better to let myself leave with dignity, I don't want to end up with nothing at all, even respect has to be so insulting like charity. Thank you very much for such a long time of happy cooperation, I know that the matter of this tender is in a uproar and the impact is not good, I - I thank the company's senior management for their trust and training, thank the company's staff for their cooperation and understanding, really everyone is actually living is not easy, the most energetic breath time has been given to work, uh...... It's over, that's it, thank you! ”

Zixi felt that her nervous body was sweating after speaking, and she bowed and was about to push away the stool behind her and leave the venue, she felt that if she stayed any longer, her last self-esteem would be crushed by her nervousness.

"What nonsense are you talking about! Come back! Who said let you go, what did your ears hear just now! Sleepwalking for me during meeting time in broad daylight, isn't it? ”

After the boss listened, his originally happy mood changed suddenly, and he slapped his hand on the table, and suddenly there was no laughter, and the scene was silent, and everyone's eyes widened and stared at Zixi.
