CHAPTER XXXII
At breakfast time, a large table of more than a dozen people gathered around to eat breakfast, Cai Hefeng sat diagonally opposite Tan Yangcheng, burying his head in eating the breakfast prepared by the nanny, in fact, Tan Yangcheng got up early to fry love eggs for Cai Hefeng alone, but Cai Hefeng refused to put it on the plate on the grounds that she was not as good as the nanny.
Tan Yangcheng crossed a fried egg on his plate that was more than others, how could it be bad? It's just that the heart shape is not so stylish, but the taste must be similar! He had never rejected people so bluntly and mercilessly before, wasn't it because he accidentally interrupted his call two days ago? There is no secret for her to hear, why are you so angry!
She didn't want to apologize.
But what if it was his family calling?
No, she obviously heard him say: "Will your phone be a waste of phone bills when you call like this?" "It's not the tone of conversation with your family at all! It must be a woman who has an adulterous affair with him, it must be!
However, this is even more difficult to explain, she has almost watched him grow step by step in the company, although there are many warblers and Yanyan around him, but no one except her can get close to him casually, she has always thought that only she is the most worthy of him - at least there is no second person in the whole company who is more suitable for his temper, his character, his appearance, and his family than her.
So, why exactly? Could it be that I had already provoked him unknowingly before?
Thinking of this, Tan Yangcheng glared hatefully at Cai Hefeng, who didn't raise his head, hum! Don't say anything, you say I'm wrong, can't I change it? A man's heart is really a needle under the sea! No, it's Haidilao!
"Qiao Jinghui, can you help me print this document, I want to go to the toilet, I'm in a bit of a hurry."
Qiao Jinghui turned around, it was a little brother who usually sat not far from her, the two came in together, the little brother was very warm and cordial, the two had a good relationship, took the document and walked to the printer, inadvertently glanced at the cover, and it was written: Proposal for the introduction of advertisers.
Since knowing about the player for a day, Qiao Jinghui has fallen in love with using it, with more resources and fewer advertisements, but why do you want to introduce advertisers now?
Personally, Qiao Jinghui doesn't like this, after all, everyone doesn't like to watch videos and there are always advertisements to disturb them.
As far as the company is concerned, although there will be benefits, but this will also reduce the favorability in the hearts of users.
This should be a document of the marketing department, why does it appear in the network management department? As a small staff member and doing something different from those who are engaged in the market, Qiao Jinghui has no position to judge this matter, this is all a decision made by the top. But she just felt uncomfortable, and on the last page there were the names of the people who participated in the meeting, and there was only one one she knew, and that was Luo Xian.
Qiao Jinghui hoped from the bottom of her heart that Luo Xian was against it, and it would be better if she could pull the overall situation.
The little brother came out of the toilet, and Qiao Jinghui handed him the thick dozen printed documents and asked, "Why does this document appear in our network management department?" ”
The little brother was stunned for a moment, and then smiled awkwardly: "It's not, isn't this the little hu who is going to print, I saw that she was busy, so I said to do her a favor" Raising his eyes and seeing Qiao Jinghui's weird evil smile, he hurriedly explained, "Don't think about it, I, I'm just handy!" It's just a matter of hand. ”
Okay, if you like it, you like it, what are you doing in a secret, how can you have such a smooth hand, all went to the marketing department of another floor, don't think I don't know that you fell in love with other people's Xiaohu at first sight, but the program ape is sauce purple, if you like it, you like it, and you don't want to say it, or why did she say that the program ape was a weird person? Isn't she a weirdo herself?
The little brother twisted his head and hurriedly walked away with the documents, muttering in his mouth: "Don't talk nonsense everywhere, people want to save face, I'll send the documents first." ”
Qiao Jinghui smiled, this little brother is really a real person, at this time, all he thinks about is other people's little beards to save face.
Walking out of the old distance, the little brother suddenly remembered, turned around and shouted at Qiao Jinghui again: "That, thank you!" ”
Qiao Jinghui smiled silently.
When he went to work the next day, the little brother seemed a little happy, Qiao Jinghui leaned over and asked him if there was anything good, and the little brother swallowed: "Also, it's not a good thing!" ”
But he couldn't stand Qiao Jinghui's eye attack, and the little brother still made a move: "Yesterday's document was proposed by Xiaohu and another colleague, and the director of the marketing department affirmed the document, but it was not approved at the meeting yesterday." I was going to take the subway to take her home after work yesterday, but seeing that she was in a bad mood, I invited her to drink a cup of milk tea and then walked her home. ”
Qiao Jinghui nodded clearly: "No wonder." ”
"I think it's a good thing that this will bring us closer, but don't tell her, or you'll be mad at me."
"Understand, don't I have that IQ?"
"Well, but it's a matter of emotional intelligence."
"If you haven't been in love, you don't have emotional intelligence?" Qiao Jinghui knew that he was talking about her not having a boyfriend again, and couldn't help but retort, "The content of emotional intelligence is very rich, okay?" It's not just love. ”
"Uh-huh."
"You're too perfunctory." Qiao Jinghui walked towards her seat, "I won't talk to you." ”
The mood when I sat down was pleasant.,Fortunately, the proposal didn't pass.,Otherwise, you'll feel uncomfortable watching videos in the future.,After all, the website operation is maintained by their department.,If you look at your own things, you'll feel congested.,How can you still have the motivation to do it.。
Qiao Jinghui received a text message on time after work: I sent you a book, it should be there in two days, I have read it, it will be useful for your work.
And the number is the same person who was added not long ago.
Are you afraid that she won't be able to do her job? Because she was the one he introduced in. Although he kept believing in her ability, he was still not at ease, for fear that he would embarrass him.
Walking out of the company, Qiao Jinghui did not rush into the crowd, but went to a small shop not far from the company building to eat, usually she would go back to the dormitory to cook and eat with her roommates - most of the time it was a few of them, but today she wanted to eat dinner out on a whim.
It's just that when I got off work the day before yesterday, it was also at the time of getting off work, Cai Hefeng also sent a text message: I went to eat Sichuan food from a small shop nearby, it tasted good in addition to not being spicy enough, and the boss was from Sichuan.
The map address also sent her a link.,At that time, I had made an appointment with my roommates to eat the Tex family bucket.,After eating, I forgot about it.,I remembered it today.,So I told my roommate and went by myself.。
The place is not very partial, two and three times to arrive, no wonder Cai Hefeng didn't tell her the name of the store, because the sign above has been written clearly "Brother Zhao Sichuan Restaurant", to C City for so long or the first time to see Sichuan restaurant, usually want to eat Sichuan food can only do it yourself, but she is too lazy to eat, once a month.
However, she still has to study how this restaurant tastes, after all, not all restaurants with the word "Sichuan cuisine" written on them can make authentic and delicious Sichuan dishes, most of them are just borrowing a name.
As soon as you walk in, it's overcrowded! Qiao Jinghui was greeted with the heat on her face, and she was almost scared back, but she was here, do you want to take a look, if there is no place, it is not too late to leave.
As soon as he walked in, the waiter quickly greeted him: "Miss, how many may I ask?" ”
Qiao Jinghui gestured out a finger and said lightly: "One." After saying that, I felt that it was too ridiculous to keep the way I used to compare my fingers, so I quickly retracted it.
The waiter smiled and said, "Would you mind sharing a table?" Because we're a bit busy right now. ”
Qiao Jinghui glanced around, it is estimated that it is not just because the business is busy, the store is basically a four-person table, and it is estimated that they also feel that it is a waste to use such a large four-person table for her alone.
For the sake of prudence, Qiao Jinghui asked first: "Which table to fight with?" ”
The waiter pointed to a table of men and women near the door, it was an old couple, if it was a young couple, the waiter knew that people would definitely not agree.
Qiao Jinghui nodded and said okay, and then the waiter took her over there to sit down.
The old couple glanced up at her, smiled politely and nodded, Qiao Jinghui also smiled and nodded, it looks good, it shouldn't disturb each other, and then ordered a plate of garlic white meat and a plate of fish-flavored shredded pork.
This amount just happened to be her appetite, although she was sharp to find that the old couple next to her had only ordered a pot of sauerkraut fish and a pot of mapo tofu.
While waiting, Qiao Jinghui was bored flipping through the menu, and there was music playing in the store, and when she first came in, it was "Moonlight on the Lotus Pond", and now it has been replaced by "No More Contact" by Alex in the summer.
The former Qiao Jinghui is not disgusted, but the latter has a comfortable feeling.
"No More Contact":
You may also be able to see your message online
Maybe the song I sang still exists on your phone
Maybe I love you buried in my heart and becomes a secret
Maybe when you miss me, I think about you too
How many times have I told myself
This situation can be recalled
How many times have I admonished myself
No more tears for you to the point of defeat
I'm no longer in touch with you
I hope you don't mind
If you want to blame it, you can't blame it on not being together in the first place
And you're happy with it now
So it doesn't make sense for me to stay
I've cut ties with you
It doesn't mean I don't want you
There will still be thoughts everywhere you go
And I'm starting to try to forget
Erase all the intersections of our past renunciations
In addition to the tears and something, Qiao Jinghui felt quite similar to herself, she really wanted to cut off contact with Cai Hefeng, but why did he come to the door to enter her life, change her trajectory, and disturb her emotions? She admits that she never forgets, but that doesn't mean she wants to pursue him and be with him.
Life is only so short, she just wants to live it alone.
Maybe it's because there are more people, and she waited for a while for the food to come up, and after eating, Qiao Jinghui admitted that this restaurant is indeed doing very well, at least better than her heat.
No wonder Cai Hefeng would recommend it to her, it's not bad.
So when she walked out of the store, Qiao Jinghui thought about it and took out her mobile phone to send a text message to Cai Hefeng: Brother Zhao Sichuan Restaurant, I have eaten, it is not bad, thank you for recommending.
At the same time as the sending was successful, she saw the text message he sent before, saying that the boss was from Sichuan, but she didn't see the shadow of the boss today, the waiter was serving the whole process, whether it was a Sichuan person She didn't know, it didn't matter, as long as the dish was delicious.
Soon there was a reply: do you want to try the hot pot restaurant in the food court, with your roommates, there are a lot of dishes, the price is fair, but it is mainly vegetarian.
Qiao Jinghui had already stood on the bus, holding the pole with one hand and pressing the mobile phone keyboard with the other: I prefer to eat meat.
Cai Hefeng smiled slightly on the other side of the ocean, what a coincidence, I am also meat, food, animals, things, ah~ He won't tell Qiao Jinghui that there is a barbecue restaurant with a good atmosphere not far from the hot pot restaurant, and he is going to take her to eat when he goes back - just the two of them.
Re: Let's go back quickly after eating, and I'll get some sleep again.
Qiao Jinghui then remembered that he was around 8 o'clock in the evening but around 5 o'clock in the morning over there, he must have been woken up by his text message, so he replied: I'm sorry to disturb your sleep, next time if it disturbs you, you don't have to reply, you go to sleep.
Cai Hefeng smiled, since the sound of the successful sending of the text message at a regular time in the middle of the night sounded, he was half asleep, and then he heard the sound of the text message again, and took it over to see, it turned out to be Qiao Jinghui, and the content was that she had eaten the restaurant he recommended, and the joy in his heart was overflowing, and the big sleepy insect should have been driven away.
Thinking of Qiao Jinghui's cheeks and long eyelashes, which often turned red, in fact, for a moment, Cai Hefeng regretted that he left too early and did not see Qiao Jinghui with his own eyes.
got up early for morning exercises, and when he saw the nanny who was preparing breakfast downstairs, he said hello happily, and even smiled with the whole day's work, Tan Yangcheng couldn't help but stare at him suspiciously, to see if he had fallen into the evil or won the lottery.
In addition to the frequent overtime at work and Cai Hefeng's occasional text messages and email "harassment", Qiao Jinghui's life is plain and quiet, although the people around her and the surrounding environment are no longer what she was familiar with, but it seems that it is not bad to be able to live it so simply!
But it seems that some people are reluctant to let her be so peaceful.
During the Chinese New Year, no one in the company can take leave to go home for any reason or excuse, because the more people have more time to entertain during the holidays, and the heavier their work, Qiao Jinghui has already called Qiao's father and Qiao's mother and said that she will not go home for the New Year this year, but after the New Year, there will be a rotation off, and I will go back to see them at that time.
There is double salary for working during holidays, and the company also gives subsidies, and also allocates funds to invite them to dinner, Qiao Jinghui is a good boy who loves to save money, and bought the extra salary and subsidies as gifts and sent them home, and the rest of the money was saved.
Qiao's mother often said that a woman must have her own career and her own savings before getting married, no matter how much, but this must be enough to support herself.
In fact, Qiao's mother was vaguely admitting that she had a small treasury.
Qiao Jinghui saves money but not for herself, she usually has nothing to use except for eating and socializing, and if Cheng Yang and Qiao's father and mother have an untimely need one day, she can help herself.
In these days of the New Year, the people in the network management department are working overtime almost every day, this day is the Chinese New Year's Eve, Qiao Jinghui and several other people are still fighting on the front line, a few can no longer hold on to bring work home to do, Qiao Jinghui and these people's accommodation conditions do not allow them to stay up so late to disturb others, so they still bang in the company's lattice room with their necks and waists, and stand up from time to time to move their muscles.
"Boom!" The bell rang at 12 o'clock in the middle of the night, it was a very ordinary hour clock in the office, it could not be such a loud sound it made, Qiao Jinghui looked out the window, the sky that should have been dark was illuminated by all kinds of fireworks as bright as day, no, not day, it should be said that it was a colorful sky.
In the distance, there is a building that stands in front of you like a black pillar, and I don't usually look at that place without paying attention, but now I find that there is a huge clock on it, the hour hand is still pointing at the end of the 12, but the minute hand has been slightly off, not to mention the second hand, which has already run half a circle and is still jubilant.
It seems that the sound came from there, but why don't you usually hear it yourself? Qiao Jinghui thought.
The little brother said, "You still don't know? The bell rings at this time of year, and it's very loud, but it rings once a year, so it's not usually heard. ”
Qiao Jinghui nodded clearly, then sat back and continued to work overtime.
At about three o'clock in the morning, Qiao Jinghui finally stood up and stretched, and now only she and the little brother were left in the entire department, so she said, "Little brother, aren't you leaving?" ”
The little brother stared at the screen and said, "Well, I'm leaving, I'll be fine right away." ”
"Otherwise, I'll wait for you." Qiao Jinghui said, the little brother nodded, Qiao Jinghui packed up her things and said, "I'll go to the toilet first and come back immediately." ”
The toilet on this floor happened to be the farthest away from their department, and Luo Xian comforted them at that time: "It's okay, what we lack in this line of work is exercise, so we should exercise our body, so as not to be dragged down by work." ”
Out of respect and admiration for Luo Xian, everyone didn't say anything.
At this moment, Qiao Jinghui couldn't help but complain that the toilet was too far away, and the empty corridor was lit with miserable white lights, she couldn't help but think of all kinds of ghost stories she had seen many years ago, and her heart was numb, she shouldn't have said that she was going to the toilet just now, why didn't she hold back and go home?
But the person had already arrived in front of the toilet and had to bite the bullet in.
After going to the toilet after three times and five divided by two, Qiao Jinghui Fei also fled, for fear of seeing something unclean, but when she passed the elevator, she hit her heart with a "ding-" sound.
Qiao Jinghui quickly hid next to the railing, ready to run away, the elevator door slowly opened, Qiao Jinghui's eyes slowly widened, and she couldn't help but open her mouth wide.
The man's tired and dusty look came into view, and Qiao Jinghui couldn't help but walk out and said, "Why are you here?" ”
On the contrary, the person who came was taken aback, and then said: "Luo Xian said that you are still in the company, I just got off the plane and came over, is the overtime over?" ”
Qiao Jinghui was a little at a loss, what did he mean by this? But he replied, "I'm done working overtime, I'll leave right away." ”
Cai Hefeng nodded, and said as he walked towards her: "Okay, let's go, I'll accompany you." ”
Qiao Jinghui walked in front, and there was only one thought in his heart, he was really tall!
Hearing footsteps walking in, the little brother immediately raised his head and said, "It's not safe for you to go home as a girl so late, I'll send you-" Before the words fell, he saw Cai Hefeng behind Qiao Jinghui.
smiled instantly: "It seems that I don't need to send it." ”
He must have misunderstood that they were a couple, Qiao Jinghui wanted to explain something, but Cai Hefeng preemptively said: "Well, I will send her home, thank you for taking care of her." ”
In this way, Qiao Jinghui couldn't explain anything anymore, otherwise it would only seem that there were no three hundred taels of silver here, but her heart was: "The second king next door really didn't steal!" ”
On the other side, the little brother already has a clear expression in his chest, brother, I understand you, it's normal for your girlfriend to work overtime in the company so late, and you don't feel at ease!
Qiao Jinghui had no choice but to go over and take the things she had packed up and said, "Little brother, I'm leaving." ”
Cai Hefeng nodded to the little brother, and the little brother also waved goodbye to them generously, Cai Hefeng followed behind Qiao Jinghui and smiled proudly, and the previous fatigue seemed to be gone.
Out of the company, Cai Hefeng asked, "Are you hungry?" ”
"Huh?" Qiao Jinghui was stunned for a moment, and it seemed that he was really hungry when he said this, but he still said cautiously, "Didn't you eat?" ”
Cai Hefeng looked at her and said, "I didn't eat, I just slept on the plane, do you want to eat a little." ”
Since he was also hungry, it would be good, Qiao Jinghui smiled and said, "Okay! I'm hungry too. ”
So Cai Hefeng took her to the barbecue restaurant he had been thinking about before.
Originally, there should be no one at this time, but because it was the Chinese New Year, there were still two or three couples eating slowly and methodically from a distance.
As soon as she entered, Qiao Jinghui felt a little embarrassed, all of them were lovers, and they were a man and a woman, so they would be misunderstood as lovers, so she looked up at Cai Hefeng, Cai Hefeng also looked down at her cooperatively, but as if she didn't understand the meaning in her eyes, she still walked straight in and sat down.
The waiter came up to ask, and Cai Hefeng said, "I have reserved a seat before." ”
Qiao Jinghui was taken aback, because he was shocked to see him before, his brain that stopped functioning was spinning rapidly, and he couldn't turn on his mobile phone on the plane, so he should have booked his current seat in the United States, if it was because he was too hungry, he shouldn't have said that he came to the company as soon as he got off the plane, and Luo Xian wouldn't tell him that he was still working overtime for no reason, so either he took the initiative to ask or accidentally mentioned it, but it was already so late when he got off the plane, it wouldn't be Luo Xian who was still chatting with him when he didn't sleep so late.
So what happened should be that Cai Hefeng booked a seat at the barbecue restaurant before getting on the plane, and when he got off the plane, he asked Luo Xian where she was, and then went straight to the company, found her and brought her to the barbecue restaurant.
Buy Kad! At this moment, she hoped that her reasoning was wrong! She didn't understand why he was doing it.
The two sat down in the cubicle, there was a soothing violin music in the store, Qiao Jinghui and Cai Hefeng were quietly eating their things face to face, and they didn't want to talk to each other, they both felt that it was good like this, and it was good to keep eating like this.
Both of them ate very slowly, and when they were about to finish eating, Cai Hefeng said: "The development over there is very good, so I took leave to come back for the New Year this year, but I only have three days off, so I have to leave tomorrow night." ”
"Is it too late for you to get home?" Qiao Jinghui asked stupidly.
Cai Hefeng smiled, I came back this time specifically for you, how can I have time to go home.
Qiao Jinghui thought that she had asked too much, and she shouldn't have asked, so she shut up and continued to eat, the meat in this store is really good, but the price will definitely not be cheap, and when Qiao's father and Qiao's mother come here, they will take them to eat together.
"I'll probably stay there for a few more years, and I guess I'll come back every year during the Chinese New Year."
Qiao Jinghui remembered the huge bell she saw today, which rang once a year, and it was also only during the Chinese New Year. But she soon felt that something was wrong, how could the tone of the person on the other side become more and more like a husband explaining his itinerary to his wife?
No, no, no, don't think like that, don't think about it too much, Qiao Jinghui, Qiao Jinghui, do you know that it was because of your thinking back then that you caused the situation that you still miss him now? He doesn't love you, and your life can't be tied to him alone!
But on the way here, Qiao Jinghui still couldn't help but walk behind him, Cai Hefeng asked her why she didn't go ahead, Qiao Jinghui only said that she didn't want to go ahead, in fact, every time other boys who like her like her like to walk behind her, even if she takes the initiative to let the front out, they think it's a man's sense of responsibility, but in fact, they don't know that Qiao Jinghui will have no sense of security if she walks in front.
As soon as Qiao Jinghui said that she didn't want to go ahead, Cai Hefeng smiled and walked in front of her diagonally, which not only played the role of leadership, but also made it convenient to see if she was left behind.
Along the way, Qiao Jinghui looked at Cai Hefeng's back and side face with gentle and long eyes.
He's really tall, and he's not just tall, he's also very strong, if the shadow is cast on himself, he will definitely be able to completely cover her, compared to her female figure, it's really nothing. I don't know if it's because of the illusion caused by walking under the street lamp, Qiao Jinghui always feels that his side face is too gentle, so gentle that she almost thinks that he has been smiling.
It's the kind of smile that unconsciously fills the face.
Speaking of which, this is the first time the two of them have eaten together, Cai Hefeng looked up at her intently from time to time, Qiao Jinghui was very quiet when eating, basically only moving her hands up and down, back and forth, her head was steady and half-lowered, her eyes only looked at the food on the plate, and she ate very seriously, in Cai Hefeng's cognition, it is estimated that not many people can eat so well except for the young lady of a large family, the reason why she does not use the word "lady" is because Qiao Jinghui will not like it.
Cai Hefeng saw that Qiao Jinghui was stunned and didn't move, so he asked, "Have you eaten well?" ”
Qiao Jinghui nodded, Cai Hefeng also put down the knife and fork, wiped his mouth, and said, "Okay, I'll send you back." ”
Qiao Jinghui nodded again.
The two stood on the side of the road waiting for a taxi, but it was really late, and there were few taxi drivers who were still running outside at this time, and the people who came out of the wave basically drove the car, Cai Hefeng saw Qiao Jinghui sitting on the bench at the bus stop boredly, so he asked, "Are you cold?" ”
Qiao Jinghui shook her head, and Cai Hefeng said, "I remember that you used to wrap yourself like a bear in winter. ”
Before? How would he remember?
Others said "wrapped like a dumpling", he said "wrapped like a bear", Qiao Jinghui smiled awkwardly and said, "Didn't you go to the army later?" The body naturally got better. ”
Cai Hefeng nodded, thinking in his heart, next time he comes back, he will buy a car, so as not to let her wait stupidly with him, he has worked for so many years, and he has said that the deposit to buy a car is also available, but he is used to being low-key and environmentally friendly, so he has never bought it, and he squeezes the bus and subway with others every day, and even sometimes walks when he is interested.
But he didn't want Qiao Jinghui to suffer with him, although she had always been a female man, he wanted to protect her.
In fact, he was completely shocked the moment he saw Qiao Jinghui when he got out of the elevator: the female image with long hair and back, wearing professional clothes and high heels suddenly broke his impression of her short hair when he was in school, Zhou Qin once said that she has the potential to be a little goddess, which is really good, in his opinion, Qiao Jinghui is his true goddess!
In the thick of the night, the tall man leaned on the edge of the platform with his hands in his pockets and stared at the woman silently, the long-haired woman sat on the stool with her head bowed, her legs crossed and her head on her hands, everything around her was quiet, as if time stood still at this moment, and nothing could disturb her.
But Qiao Jinghui's head suddenly slid down, and the whole person trembled, Cai Hefeng reacted quickly and bent down to help, Qiao Jinghui looked up at him with misty eyes: "Oh, it's okay, I accidentally fell asleep just now." ”
The corners of Cai Hefeng's mouth went up, well, I can see it.
