CHAPTER XLII
readx; Before going to bed at night, Qiao Jinghui showed Hua Wen the wedding card that the little brother chased after her: "It's the one you talk to the most when you eat with our department, and he and I are in the company together."
Hua Wen nodded clearly, looked at it repeatedly, and said, "His wedding date is at the end of this month, and I have seen that you will also send a wedding card soon, so it is better for the two of you to do it together." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
Qiao Jinghui was a little embarrassed, but she could also feel the unhappiness in Hua Wen's words, so she said, "No, I'm not familiar with Xiaohu." β
Every time I talked about something that should have been happy according to common sense, the atmosphere would become very stiff, and after a while, Hua Wen said, "Go to sleep." β
Qiao Jinghui nodded, reached out and turned off the light.
Early the next morning, Cai Hefeng was called over by Luo Xian.
"There are some things in Los Angeles that you need to deal with, and the rest of the things will be put aside first, and after this matter is handled, there is a new task for you to prepare, and our company is going to bid for new projects."
Cai Hefeng quickly wrote down what needed to be done, nodded, and asked, "Do I contact the vice president directly, or will you send me the documents later?" β
"I'll send you the document later, if you have any questions, just contact the vice president directly, but it's better for you to bother her less recently, I see that she has been entangled in various things recently, and it is also hard."
Luo Xian smiled mysteriously, and Cai Hefeng couldn't understand his original meaning for a while, so he asked, "Is it because of the bidding?" β
"Of course not." Luo Xian said with a smile, "It's a private matter between her and the general manager." β
Cai Hefeng suddenly realized, he knew that these two people were fighting all day long, but the relationship was also very good in private, and it was no secret that the company rumored that they fell in love and killed each other, but they never saw any movement from them, and they still eat, drink, laugh, and fight like ordinary good friends.
It seems that this means that you are about to achieve positive results!
"This bidding is already nine out of ten, and it is a Situ enterprise."
It turned out to be Situ Enterprise, and the CEOs and executives of these two companies have a relationship, and I heard that they often hang out together in private, and Luo Xian is now the son-in-law of the Situ family.
"Then why don't you just sign the contract?"
"The Chen family's company and another private enterprise want to compete with us, since they want to fight, they must be prepared, you still don't relax this time!"
Cai Hefeng nodded: "I know." β
"Okay, now that we're done, let's talk about your little sister." Luo Xian took a sip of water, "Recently, I often see strange cars coming and going at the door of the company." β
Cai Hefeng understood what he said in his heart, and said with a wry smile: "That person is my former classmate, he has been chasing her since college, if it weren't for the family urging marriage, I don't think he would have been able to catch up." β
This series of "she" and "he" made people dizzy, but fortunately, Luo Xian had a strong understanding ability and asked, "I've been chasing since college?" So how many years have it been, and your little sister hasn't made a statement? β
"I should have refused before, but because she hasn't had anyone she likes, my classmate thinks that if she just persists, sooner or later she will be with him, and he even has a good relationship with her parents."
"Then this situation is very unfavorable to you, people have been pursuing longer than you, and there is a family foundation, you just look at it like this?"
"They are both talking about marriage, and if I can still look at it like this, I really don't want to get off the list! I told her what I thought, and she said give me a week to think about it, today is the fifth day, and the results will be estimated in two days. β
Luo Xian couldn't help laughing: "This is not a lottery ticket, but also a countdown, to be honest, the pace of your chasing girls is too slow, and people who don't know can't see that you are chasing her." β
"Am I acting so inconspicuous?"
"You go and ask the people in our department, how many of them can tell that you are chasing her?"
Cai Hefeng was speechless, so he had to argue: "Falling in love in the office will affect work, and I did this to keep a low profile and not affect everyone's working environment." β
Luo Xian shook his head helplessly: "Look at you, some people like to take their time when they pursue people, and some people like to go faster, there is nothing wrong with you sticking to your principles, it's just that I hope you can grasp the time and timing well, and don't wait until it's too late to remember to blame yourself for being slow." In this day and age, slow pace is not suitable everywhere, and many resources have to be grabbed. Just like when we bid, we all know that we can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, but we just have to come up with something satisfactory within the time set by others, otherwise everything we do is useless. β
Cai Hefeng nodded thoughtfully.
"If you have to endure hardship, you will become a master!"
Cai Hefeng raised his head and looked at Luo Xian thoughtfully.
After a long time, Luo Xian reacted: "Hey, hey, hey, are you thinking crooked again!" β
"I'll go back first." Cai Hefeng smiled "hehe" and fled with his notebook.
C city is an inland city, there are many small rivers and lakes, but far away from the sea, lovers either go to the beach together to travel to find romance, or meet to climb the mountain and occasionally show a camp, it can be regarded as a two-person world.
On Saturday afternoon, Qiao Jinghui packed her things early and got off work, and the little brother asked her anxiously: "Brother Qiao, why did you leave so early today?" β
"Oh, someone asked me to go for a walk around the mountains after dinner."
"Oh~ Then you definitely won't come at night!"
Qiao Jinghui ignored the little brother's frowning, nodded, and said, "Work hard, you!" I'm going to get married, and I don't know the key to stability yet. β
Cai Hefeng suddenly interjected and said, "Let's go together, I'm going to get off work too." β
The people in the lattice all turned their heads and craned their necks to look at the deputy director who was some distance away from them.
The little brother knew it, and said to Qiao Jinghui: "How stable do you want to be, like our brother Feng?" The colleagues in the cubicle immediately coaxed.
Qiao Jinghui threw an eye knife at the little brother.
Then he said to Cai Hefeng: "Hongchen said that he came to pick me up." β
The little brother stared at Cai Hefeng and smiled, our charming and peerless Brother Feng was actually rejected, the implication of this is that you don't have to be a light bulb with you!
Unexpectedly, Cai Hefeng said: "I know, anyway, it's just a trip to the mountains, and it won't be good together." β
Qiao Jinghui shrugged, whatever you want, it won't be her who is uncomfortable anyway. So Cai Hefeng packed up his things and went out side by side with Qiao Jinghui.
As soon as the two of them went out on the front foot, the little brother turned around and chatted with everyone: "You can see it too?" β
"Nonsense! Every time Brother Qiao goes out to the coffee room, Brother Feng makes excuses to go out with him, isn't this obvious? β
"I thought I was the only one who found out!" The little brother said excitedly, "But you must not know one thing yet, that is, about half a month ago, Brother Feng picked up Brother Qiao to work!" β
Everyone was shocked.
The little brother was very satisfied with everyone's reaction, and continued: "At that time, I was passing by the garage, and I happened to see Brother Feng's car passing by, and I wanted to say hello, but the glass window was not closed, and I saw that Brother Qiao was also inside, so I didn't dare to disturb them. β
"You didn't say it sooner!" "Maybe you just met on the road? It doesn't have to be Brother Qiao who Brother Feng picked up! "That's right, Brother Qiao's family lives so far away, and it takes more than an hour to go back and forth!" "Brother Feng won't get up so early just to pick her up."
"How could it not!" The little brother was anxious, "Brother Qiao is such a difficult person to chase, how can you do it without giving some sincerity?" β
"It's been so many days now, why haven't we met each other!" "Brother Feng walks late every day, it's okay, he gets up early and is greedy for darkness, which hurts his body!" "Brother Qiao doesn't seem to be a person who pays attention to that kind of hypocritical thing, right......"
The little brother shrugged, he didn't know why that kind of thing didn't happen again after that, but it was very likely that Brother Qiao refused Brother Feng to pick her up, Brother Qiao, Brother Qiao, when will you be like a real woman! Brother Feng chases you very hard, you know? (Qiao Jinghui: Did he chase hard?) I can't see it. Cai Hefeng: ...... οΌ
When he went downstairs, Hongchen was already waiting at the door, and when he saw Cai Hefeng following behind, he said, "I'm going to take Huihui to dinner." β
Cai Hefeng smiled and said, "Together! β
Hongchen looked at Qiao Jinghui, Qiao Jinghui shrugged helplessly, Cai Hefeng beside her smiled proudly, and had to say, "Okay, I'll take Huihui in front, and you can drive along by yourself." β
Cai Hefeng did not object, at this time, it is better not to argue about whose car Qiao Jinghui sits. Qiao Jinghui was a little surprised, the two people who were still fighting each other before actually reached an agreement at this time, and after the surprise, there was a little loss, sure enough, it was not because they liked to be together, so they didn't care about this kind of detail. But soon, Qiao Jinghui left this little thing behind, the reason why she is a female man and a rough man is because she is so nervous and forgetful!
Hong Chen was naturally very happy that Cai Hefeng did not compete with him at this time.
Hong Chen talked to Qiao Jinghui all the way, just like before, the two got along very well and naturally. When they arrived at a small restaurant, the three of them got out of the car.
It is also a Sichuan restaurant, but it is a more formal kind of restaurant, and it is not the same level as Zhao Ge's Sichuan restaurant near the company, Qiao Jinghui feels that it doesn't matter, as long as the environment is not too dirty and the food is good, it is all good.
The three of them found a relatively empty position and sat down, Hong Chen took out a piece of paper and began to wipe the table, this is his habit Qiao Jinghui knew that although the previous working environment was very difficult, he was not allowed to be so particular at all, but this was his habit, work time is work time, and he couldn't help but clean up the things around him outside of work.
In view of the sensitive relationship between the three of them, Qiao Jinghui sat alone on one side, and Hong Chen and Cai Hefeng sat on the other side.
The waiter came, and when he saw the pattern, he cleverly handed the menu to Qiao Jinghui.
Qiao Jinghui turned the menu sideways so that people on both sides of the table could see the dishes, but ...... It's weird to look at.
"Don't be so troublesome, you can order, I'm not a picky eater." Cai Hefeng couldn't help but say with a smile.
Hongchen also nodded.
Qiao Jinghui had to order it according to the dishes they had ordered when they ate together before, four dishes and one soup for three people were more than enough, after all, most of the restaurants now have high prices and small quantities, and there are two men in the prime of life opposite, and they are still big stomachs, so this amount should not be much.
Before the food came up, Hong Chen and Qiao Jinghui were chatting eloquently, while Cai Hefeng was holding his mobile phone and didn't know what he was looking at.
The waiter came up to pour tea, and Hong Chen wanted to take Qiao Jinghui's cup over and wipe it first, but he stood up suddenly, and his knee hit the corner of the table, which was sour! Cai Hefeng glanced at him lightly.
Hong Chen immediately fainted in pain.
Qiao Jinghui asked him with concern if he was okay, and Hongchen said that he was dying of pain and was going to faint!
Cai Hefeng glanced at him again and said lightly: "Do you want to do cardiopulmonary resuscitation?" β
Hong Chen was overjoyed: "Okay, but I want Huihui to do it for me." β
Qiao Jinghui raised her eyebrows and didn't speak, Cai Hefeng put down her phone: "I'll come." β
Hongchen: "......!!! β
provoked Qiao Jinghui and the waiter who hadn't walked away yet.
After eating, Hongchen paid the bill first, and Cai Hefeng went with him, and it didn't mean to grab it, right? It's better to let him pay the bill this time, if there is a next time, can't he pay it again?
Then I drove to the foot of the mountain, and the three of them walked slowly side by side, the street lights on the winding mountain road were very bright, and there were many adults and children who went out for a walk after dinner.
Qiao Jinghui unconsciously had a smile on her face, it was a rare experience to be able to stay together quietly without fighting, not fighting, not making noise, and quietly!
In fact, the two of them are very good friends, Hong Chen is more like Lan Yan's confidante, and Cai Hefeng is more like a mentor and friend. It's just that in this world, fish and bear's paws can't have both, and they don't want to be just their good friends, she must choose one of them to spend the rest of her life with.
When they walked side by side, for a moment Qiao Jinghui thought that she didn't want anyone anymore, or she should not get married and live with Hua Wen for the rest of her life, or go back to her hometown to find an ordinary person who was good to her and get married.
As a friend, she didn't want to hurt anyone.
The three of them walked halfway up the mountain, Qiao Jinghui saw that it was almost 9 o'clock in the watch, it was time to go down the mountain and go back, it would take a while to go down the mountain, otherwise Hua Wen would definitely call to urge.
So I started looking for a way down the mountain.
When she was about to reach the foot of the mountain, Hua Wen really called.
"Hey, where are you?"
"In the descent of the mountain, with Hongchen, Cai and Feng."
Hua Wen knew that Hong Chen took her out today, but when she heard that Cai Hefeng was also there, she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, threesome? What a new combination.
"Come back early, it's big night, bring me a bag of salt when you come back, I'll make you something to eat."
Qiao Jinghui was immediately excited, there are really not many people in the family who are willing to raise your stomach and are willing to change their tricks to raise your stomach! Qiao's mother is the first in her life, and Hua Wen is the second. In the past, when I lived with Cheng Yang, I made do with everything, and occasionally went out to eat when I improved my food. Sometimes she would make something she hadn't eaten before on a whim, but it was all very special and occasional.
"Okay, I'll be right back!"
After hanging up the phone, Qiao Jinghui said, "Hurry up, I'm going back." β
Hong Chen and Cai Hefeng looked at each other.
Hua Wen, who was far away at home, looked proud, and she knew that Qiao Jinghui would obediently obey when she talked about having food.
Qiao's father and Qiao's mother had already sent them away, Qiao Jinghui went back to her room, and Hua Wen instructed Qiao Jinghui to put the seasoning in the mixing basin while cleaning up the things in the room.
"How are you with the two of them?"
"Originally, Hongchen said to eat together and then go shopping in the mountains, I said okay, but when I left after work, Cai Hefeng came up and said that we wanted to be together." Qiao Jinghui paused, "And then we were together." β
Hua Wen smiled and shook her head, these two people also tried their best to catch up with Qiao Jinghui!
"Tomorrow is the last day, do you have an idea?"
I want to give up the choice...... Qiao Jinghui thought about it for a long time, but still shook her head. This kind of thing can't be said casually, because she doesn't know how she made the decision until the end, and she can't make Hua Wenkong happy.
With a long sigh, she remembered the day she first went to college, and she said, "Isn't it good that the world just keeps the status quo?" It's not all good to change this kind of thing...... "Until now in her 20s, she still thinks so, if only the world had been like this, at least her world doesn't want to change."
But how is it possible, everyone's world is changing, and hers is no exception.
However, Hua Wen also succeeded in lowering Qiao Jinghui's mood, saying that tomorrow is the last day, what should I do...... What to do? What to do!
The next day was Sunday, and it was Qiao Jinghui's turn to have a half-day holiday, and at noon, Qiao Jinghui packed up her things and was picked up by Hua Wen, and the two of them went to eat Western food with good interest.
Hua Wen asked her, "Then how do you play in the afternoon?" β
"Play?" Qiao Jinghui was stunned, does she have the habit of playing during the holidays? Hasn't she always been homely?
Hua Wen glanced at her: "Didn't those two goods come to you?" It's the last day of the appointment. β
"I told them I wanted to be quiet......"
Hua Wen: "......"
Is this an escapism? She didn't know, but now she didn't want to face anyone, and she was in a mess now, and if they came to ask her about the results now, and asked for an explanation, she estimated that her system would collapse.
Hua Wen didn't want to put too much pressure on her now, Qiao Jinghui was originally a person who liked to think a lot and like to put everything at ease, she just needed to be silent, or be by her side.
However, Hua Wen is not a person who is idle at all times, she also has a job, she has to go to work in the afternoon, so after telling Qiao Jinghui to stay alone and not think about it, she drove to work again.
After going back, Qiao Jinghui took a shower and went to bed.
slept until 6 p.m., the summer days were very long, and it was still basking in the sun at 6 o'clock, Qiao Jinghui tossed and rolled around in bed, and got up after grinding for half an hour.
After waking up, I brushed my teeth and washed my face, and wore the black I chose with Hua Wen. Couple T-shirt - men's model, changed into a pair of black and gray men's pants, hair tied up casually because of the heat, no mobile phone, wearing a watch can remind her to see the time.
Taking the key and a hundred yuan in cash into his pocket, Qiao Jinghui went out with a breeze on her sleeves and a dashing style.
As everyone knows, the mobile phone that she forgot to turn off began to vibrate a few minutes after she went out, and the caller ID was: Cai Hefeng.
Knowing that Qiao Jinghui was on vacation this afternoon, Cai Hefeng was not in the mood to look at the lattice room in the office, and spent the afternoon in two states: serious work and distraction. The little brother and the others who were not on vacation in the office today found out and covered their mouths and snickered.
When it was time to eat in the afternoon, Cai Hefeng habitually glanced at Qiao Jinghui's side, usually she either discussed with her little brother where to eat, Cai Hefeng can sometimes follow, or she just packed up her things and prepared to go downstairs, and Hua Wen or Hong Chen came to pick her up.
But he was not here today, and Cai Hefeng could only think about how to solve it for dinner.
"Brother Feng! Going to dinner together? β
Looking up, it was the little brother who was greeting him, Cai Hefeng thought about it and nodded.
The group went to Brother Zhao's Sichuan restaurant, Cai and Feng saw the boss and greeted each other with a light smile, and the little brother said in surprise: "Brother Feng, do you two know each other?" β
Cai Hefeng smiled: "Before I went to the United States, I often came to eat here, I am from Sichuan, so I still prefer Sichuan cuisine." β
But seeing that Brother Zhao didn't have a surprised expression at all when he saw him, the little brother guessed: "Have you come to eat after you come back?" β
Cai Hefeng nodded, he still comes occasionally, Brother Zhao is now married and has children, and he is slightly fat, and he has a small belly, but it seems that he is more stable, the kind of stability that belongs only to middle-aged men. The two also chatted briefly in their spare time, and Brother Zhao said: "Xiao Cai, you should still find a daughter-in-law, you see how good it is that I am married now, my wife is waiting for me, and my son is playing, how good!" β
Cai Hefeng smiled bitterly at the time: "This daughter-in-law said that she could have it right away!" What can you do if you don't like someone you like? It's not just about taking your time. β
After eating and returning to the office, Cai Hefeng felt that he had nothing to do, and he could have gone back to his residence, but he didn't want to go out, so he wanted to stay here.
So I clicked on a novel "Japanese Drizzle" that Li Qianxia sent him a long time ago.
The story starts with the heroine's graduation from the college entrance examination, and continues until she becomes a leftover girl, and the last person dies alone.
Cai Hefeng patiently read more than a dozen chapters, and the content in them has a lot of descriptions of the environment in which the heroine lives, and even the heroine's friends and family. But the more I looked, the more Cai Hefeng felt this back. The scenery was very familiar, and after thinking about it for a long time, he suddenly remembered that the environmental pattern of this school was the same as that of his university school! Including how many cafeterias there are, how many school gates, and where are they opened, Xu Hefeng inside is also called "Fengshen" in the school......
There was a thought rising in Cai Hefeng's mind, he wanted to find out who this author was, this must be an acquaintance, it must be!
I searched the Internet for the word "not bitter", and the first two pages that came out did not have a word about this novelist, so he had to add the words "gentle wind and drizzle", and the search soon showed the address of the first publication of this novel.
Cai Hefeng clicked in and found some announcements with only a few words sent by the author, and found the author's QQ number inside.
This familiar nine-digit number is the string of numbers he has looked at countless times, but he has never mustered up the courage to add.
He opened QQ, which he hadn't used for many years, found the Add Friends function, and searched for the owner of this string of numbers, the moment the information came out, Cai Hefeng's heart tightened, why her? How could it be her? Is Xu Hefeng in it alluding to him? And who is Cold Rain? It can't be a hint of herself, right? How so? Why is it written like this?
Too many questions, too many puzzles, too many difficult to accept!
He had to ask her, he had to ask if it was her, why her!
But at this moment, Qiao Jinghui didn't go out with her mobile phone, so even if the mobile phone vibrated thousands of times on the bed, Qiao Jinghui would not know that Cai Hefeng was looking for her in such a hurry.
