Continued: There is an appointment tonight
In the office, the air is filled with the aroma of coffee, which is not brewed with ground coffee, but freshly ground coffee beans, with a rich and pure fragrance, and the smell makes people want to taste it. Hope. It was Asa's habit to have a cup of coffee every morning and see it on the table when others arrived in the office.
As always, Asa sat leisurely in his leather chair, ready to start his busy day with the aroma of coffee.
This refreshed man, slender and good-looking fingers picked up the cup, grabbed the mouth of the cup with his moderately thick lips, and sucked it in......
Asa's handsome face wrinkled, and he froze for a few seconds, and then, only to hear ...... "poof...... the half-swallowed coffee in his mouth was sprayed on the table uncontrollably. Fortunately, Asa did not have a document in front of him at this time, otherwise the consequences would have been ......
"Lan Zhixin, you roll in for me-!" Asa roared, his face turned green, and this roar felt like a king of the forest, and it spread far and wide, and it was very shocking.
Lan Zhixin sat in her seat in a daze, depressed and in high spirits, and the extension phone on the table rang several times before she picked it up slowly.
A minute later...... Lan Zhixin came to Asa's office, and when she entered, she saw a mess on the desk. Looking at Asa's face, it is blacker than carbon and colder than ice! A pair of blue eyes seem to be able to spew out a fire dragon......
Asa gritted his teeth and pointed to the coffee cup, and said angrily, "Lan Zhixin, what medicine did you take wrong today?" You taste the coffee you brewed yourself, the taste is disgusting, what do you put in it? ”
Lan Zhixin's expression was not as excited as Asa imagined, but unusually calm, even a little sluggish, and it took a few seconds to react, looking at him in a daze, frowning at Xiumei, showing a thoughtful expression, and then suddenly realized: "I'm sorry...... I guess I made a mistake and added MSG to ......"
When Asa heard this, he subconsciously smacked his lips, remembering the taste just now, and couldn't help but feel sick to his stomach again...... He doesn't know if others can't stand it, anyway, he can't stand this coffee with MSG!
"Lan Zhixin, you are not young, you are still frizzy and frizzy and so careless, how did you do it? Don't take a mirror to look at your soulless look, don't blame me for the ugly words ahead, it's none of my business for you to fall in love, but please don't bring your personal emotions to the company! You can clean it up right now and make a new cup of coffee. There was an imperceptible strangeness in Asa's deep voice, as if it was pity, as if it was sarcasm, as if it was slightly sour...... What it is, there is no way to find out.
Lan Zhixin opened her mouth, but in the end she didn't say anything, and silently turned around and went out.
Asa's bottomless eyes shone with a complex light...... As soon as Lan Zhixin entered the door, he realized that something was wrong with her today, like an eggplant that had been beaten, and her eyes had lost their luster and her soul was lost. With such a poor mental outlook, Asa immediately thought of Nike, thinking that there was a problem between Lan Zhixin and Nike, maybe there was a quarrel, maybe there was some kind of conflict, so she was like this.
Originally, this kind of thing, the most that a boss can do is to give a few reminders, but Asa somehow felt uncomfortable in his heart, and couldn't help but slander him...... Nike, is there anything special? It's ordinary, it's too ordinary. This kind of man can also make Lan Zhixin worry about her soul, really, this woman is too unproductive.
Lan Zhixin quickly came in with a rag, cleaned the table, and then went out with the coffee cup to re-brew. She was expressionless the whole time, completely ignoring Asa's sharp gaze, as if she didn't feel the boss's displeasure, her every move seemed very mechanical, like a shell that had lost her soul.
The re-brewed coffee tasted normal, but Lan Zhixin's state did not recover, and she was in a trance all day, and she made mistakes several times......
At noon, Asa ordered her to buy the wrong meal, drink, and dessert...... Fortunately, Asa did not ship the goods again.
Lan Zhixin usually works very seriously and carefully, but today is unusual, Chen Zhigang reminded her several times, and also asked her if there was a physical problem, she just simply coped with the past.
Heart disease still needs heart medicine, the person Lan Zhixin is thinking about is Yan Yan, thinking that this child will cry miserably when she wakes up this morning and finds that she is not there, Lan Zhixin feels a big stone pressing on her heart, and it is difficult to breathe.
The time of this day was very difficult, and at about two o'clock in the afternoon, Lan Zhixin really received a familiar call. With two contradictory moods of joy and heartache, Lan Zhixin ran to a no-man's corner to answer the phone, and it was Yan Yan who called.
On the phone, Yan Yan's voice was a little hoarse, obviously crying, and her muffled nasal voice sounded pitiful, deeply affecting Lan Zhixin's fragile nerves.
"Mom...... Why did you leave me behind, is Yan Yan not well-behaved, is Yan Yan angry with her mother? The child sobbed, and the low sobs were heartbreaking.
Lan Zhixin endured her sadness, forced her tears back, and her gentle voice comforted Yan Yan: "Baby, you are very well-behaved, your mother is not angry with you, you are the most well-behaved baby in the world, how could your mother be willing to leave you...... It's just that you're still young, and you're alone at home, and your mother is really not at ease, you see that you fell and injured yourself yesterday, and your fingers are still hurting, isn't it? Mom promised you that in three or four months, she would take you over. In the past few months, you have to listen to your grandparents, and your mother will call you every day, okay? ”
Mother's gentle soothing made Yan Yan's tears gradually stop, although she was still young and couldn't fully understand her mother's words, but she knew that her mother must love her. Hearing that her mother would call every day, Yan Yan felt a little better, but because she had just been separated from her mother, the child was not adaptable, and it was inevitable that there would be no smile on her face.
After hanging up the phone, Yan Yan sat in the yard in a daze, stroking the little flower cat with one hand, and stuffing the red date cake into her mouth with the other hand, still muttering while eating: "I don't know what Little Lemon is doing...... The jujube cake is delicious, but it's a pity that the little lemon is in the city, and I'm here...... Next time I'm going to bring some red date cake for Little Lemon to try, he'll love it. ”
No one knows how much Yan Yan longs to play with Lemon because that's the only one she's the same age. In this countryside, although she is loved and cared for by her grandparents, Yanyan is still lonely. Because in the whole village, not a single child will play with her. Even those adults don't like Yan Yan, they all say that she is a wild child who doesn't even know who her father is, and that she is Lan Zhixin outside with wild men. After mixing, it will be abandoned again. Being unmarried and having children may be easier for the people around you to accept in the city, but in the countryside, the white eyes and gossip you receive are more serious and terrible than you think. Therefore, it is a wise choice for Yan Yan not to go to kindergarten in the countryside, because even the kindergarten teachers discriminate against Yan Yan, and even Lan Zhixin's family is the object of discrimination, and relatives are reluctant to come and go, thinking that this family is too embarrassing.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Asa wanted to go out to meet the client, and told Lan Zhixin to go with him. Instead of asking her to go with her, she asked her to go to a nearby laundry to get his clothes back.
Sitting in the car, Lan Zhixin didn't even look at Asa...... Her mind was full of Yan Yan's soft and glutinous voice called "Mom", and it was all the child's innocent and pitiful face.
The car was quiet, so quiet that only the sound of each other's breathing could be heard. The corner of Asa's eyes was looking at Lan Zhixin, and for her indifference, he thought that the reason for her absent-mindedness was Nike.
It seems that God is deliberately tricking Asa, and in this stalemate atmosphere, Lan Zhixin's mobile phone rang, and it turned out to be a call from Nike.
Lan Zhixin was a little surprised, but still politely picked it up.
Nike invited Lan Zhixin to dinner in the evening, and his simple and polite attitude made people feel his gentleness and sincerity.
Lan Zhixin doesn't hate Nike, it should be said that she has a little affection for this man. Although it was a one-sided relationship, the gentlemanly demeanor shown by the other party, as well as the tacit understanding with her, and the help to her, all left a good impression on Lan Zhixin. Speaking of which, in fact, Lan Zhixin should have invited Nike to dinner, thank you for Nike's relief in front of Asa and Lu Jieying yesterday.
Thinking of this, Lan Zhixin didn't shirk it, agreed to Nike, and made an appointment to meet at a certain restaurant at half past six in the evening.
Asa didn't listen to the whole call, but he heard the most crucial ...... Lan Zhixin and Nike are going to have dinner together tonight.
Asa's mind was always imaginative, and sometimes a thought came so inexplicably that he didn't have time to think about it......
When I arrived at the door of the laundry, the car stopped, and the moment Lan Zhixin opened the car, Asa suddenly said: "Take the key to my house, you take the clothes and go directly to my house, buy some food to make dinner, I will go home for dinner in the evening." ”
"Huh?" Lan Zhixin's expression was finally broken, and she turned her head to look at Asa, but saw that this guy had an indifferent face, as if he didn't feel that his request was too much at all.
"What are you staring at me for? Need me to repeat it again? Tonight, my dinner is handed over to you, my personal assistant, is there any problem? The corners of Asa's mouth raised slightly, and there was a hint of smugness in his eyes, thinking to himself, Lan Zhixin and Nike's date tonight will be in vain, who made him Lan Zhixin's boss, so it makes people feel really ...... It's so refreshing!
Lan Zhixin's narrow beautiful eyes flashed with two fine lights, and with her intuition, Asa definitely did it on purpose! But why did he do it? Why deliberately sabotage her and Nike's dinner?
