After a short time, the plane landed safely, and after being notified by the flight attendants that they could get off the plane, she unbuckled the seat belt on her waist, got up and left the seat, and subconsciously looked in the direction where there was so much noise before.

In the position diagonally behind, there was indeed an uncle, sleeping with his face tilted and his head tilted, as if he did not know that the plane had arrived.

Retracting her gaze and taking her suitcase, she casually glanced over again and saw that a female flight attendant was trying to wake him up, calling him several times, but he didn't move.

Bending the corners of his lips slightly, Ruan Shu took a step and got off the plane.

Although she lost her mobile phone and couldn't contact the employees who came to Jiangcheng in advance to set up the exhibition and prepare for the exhibition, she remembered the name of the hotel she was staying in, directly reported the name of the hotel, and then buried herself in the mobile phone that Chen Qingzhou lent her - the address book, the document library and everything were naturally empty, and the text messages and phone calls did not leave any traces.

It seems that he doesn't use this phone much.

I just don't know why I have to carry it with me if that's the case......

Huang Jinrong was woken up by the flight attendant on the plane, got off the plane with a backpack, and after meeting the two men in economy class, he went to wait in line for a taxi.

A taxi that had just started drove away in front of them, and the woman sitting in the back seat of the car was staring out the window, and her appearance was four or five points similar to the woman in her long memory, especially the flat expression on her face.

Huang Jinrong was stunned for a second, and the next moment he quickly pushed aside the team and stepped into the lane and chased him out quickly: "Stop!" Stop the car! The car in front of you stops! ”

Before he could shout more, the staff of Weixuan quickly stopped him and scolded angrily: "Hey, hey, hey!" What are you doing! It's cars coming in and out! Don't you want to die?! ”

Huang Jinrong was forcibly pulled back to the waiting area, and he was also angry, so he quickly took out his mobile phone from his bag and dialed Chen Qingzhou's number.

As soon as he was connected, he couldn't wait to inform: "Qingzhou! See! I saw the woman named Pepe! Sit in a taxi! But I didn't catch up! ”

"Uncle Rong, you take a breath first." Chen Qingzhou was very calm and calm, and asked, "Where are you now?" It must have been a short time since I got off the plane, right? ”

"Yes, yes, I'm still at the airport! I was waiting for a taxi here at the airport and saw people! Resemble! It's too similar~ It looks too similar~" The golden eyebrows are flying.

Chen Qingzhou asked cautiously: "Uncle Rong, there are many people in the world who look alike. And you still just see people through a moving taxi. ”

"Hey, you don't understand! Ilha Verde! My eyesight is very accurate! Huang Jinrong was a little anxious, "Uncle Rong, I'm not mistaken!" It's been almost 30 years, but I remember what she looked like when she turned to ashes! I'm sure I didn't-"

Halfway through speaking, Huang Jinrong's voice was stuck in his throat, remembering the face in the car window at that time, and muttered suspiciously: "Yes, it's almost thirty years, how can she look the same at all, still young and beautiful......"

Chen Qingzhou heard it clearly and smiled: "So, Uncle Rong, you recognized the wrong person, right?" ”

The eight-character eyebrows were twisted for a moment, but Huang Jinrong suddenly remembered something, and said with a slight hesitation: "Qingzhou, I took into account your feelings and your respect for your mother before, so about the matter between your father and the woman named Pepe, I just picked up a part and told you." Actually......"

His tone suddenly became solemn. Chen Qingzhou's expression narrowed, and his pupils constricted slightly: "Uncle Rong, it's okay, just say it." ”

In the taxi, after the software upgrade of the mobile phone, Ruan Shu opened WeChat and logged in with her original mobile phone number - after all, it was someone else's mobile phone, and she did not use the cloud backup to download her own storage, so as to avoid leaving too many private messages on this mobile phone as much as possible.

As soon as I logged in, the first thing that popped up was Lin Pu's message: "Sister? Did you get off the plane? Director Li said that he planned to pick you up at the airport, but he couldn't contact you. ”

Ruan Shu found out from another WeChat message that Li Mao was asking her whereabouts. Glancing, she turned back and typed Lin Pu: "In the taxi to the hotel." I lost my phone at the airport in Haicheng. ”

Lin Pu sent four exclamation points in a row, and was first concerned: "Sister, are you okay?" Immediately after that, he sent it again, "Only lost your phone?" How can it be lost? Was it stolen by a thief? So what are you using now? Got a new phone? ”

She didn't answer, but said, "You can help me inform Assistant Miao of my current situation by the way, so that she won't be able to find me if she has something." ”

After ending the WeChat conversation with Lin Pu, Ruan Shu looked back at the scenery that kept passing outside the car window, frowning slightly-Fu Lingyuan's phone number, she rarely called, and she didn't go out of her way to remember it. As for the contact information of Jiusi, Erzhu, Li Qing and Zhao Shisan, she didn't pay attention to it.

This detail suddenly made her realize that the relationship between her and Fu Lingyuan was actually quite fragile.

A few hours ago, she was still angry at Jiusi, angry that she was under his surveillance all the time, and her life was like an invisible shackle, and it seemed that she couldn't get rid of him wherever she went.

However, at the moment, it seems that it is not as difficult as imagined to get rid of him.

It is rare that there is no time to be stared at by Fu Lingyuan......

As his thoughts drifted, his phone suddenly vibrate.

Ruan Shu was stunned.

This is not her mobile phone and number, and the one who can call must be looking for Chen Qingzhou instead of her.

Staring at the string of numbers displayed on the screen, Ruan Shu hesitated for two seconds, swiped the answer button with his fingers, and a woman's anger immediately came from the other end of the earpiece: "Chen Qingzhou!" The car accident of talking and laughing is your hand and foot, right? ”

Ruan Shu was stunned when he heard this—his voice was very familiar, and the person who "talked and laughed" seemed to be ......

Because of her silence, the other party thought that Chen Qingzhou acquiesced, and the anger became more and more vigorous: "Are you sick?" On your terms, there are a lot of women around you waiting to pounce on you, so do you have to pester me, an old and savage ex-wife? Your tastes are so fucking perverted! ”

"Don't think you're doing it perfectly, we can't do anything about you! If you dare to engage in these small actions, you will definitely leave evidence! If something happens, you can wait to go to jail! ”

"Officer Fu." Ruan Shu interrupted her with a loud voice, "I'm Ruan Shu." ”

Fu Qing immediately paused: "You ......"

"You spoke so fast that I didn't have time to stop you. Sorry to hear a lot of your privacy. Ruan Shu politely apologized.

Fu Qingci reacted for a second, as if confirming that he had not dialed the wrong number, and then his tone changed to vigilance: "How could you answer Chen Qingzhou's call?" Where is he? ”

"Because I had a personal situation, Mr. Chen helped me out of the siege and lent me his mobile phone temporarily." Ruan Shu explained, "I'm out of town right now, and I'm not with Mr. Chen, so I don't know where he is, so I can't help Officer Fu." Officer Fu might be able to call his other number. ”

Fu Qingci was quiet for a long time, not knowing what he was pondering, and Shaoqing said: "Miss Ruan has a good relationship with him, he can lend you this mobile phone." ”

Ruan Shu heard something: "Officer Fu, don't get me wrong. There is no improper relationship between me and Mr. Chan. ”

"I'm not mistaken, and I don't think there's anything legitimate or improper between you. Even if there is, it's none of my business. Fu Qingci first defended himself, and then questioned, "I just don't understand, Ling Yuan and Chen Qingzhou are opposites, why did Chen Qingzhou help you out of the siege, and why did you accept Chen Qingzhou's help?" Shouldn't it be as clear as possible? ”

Ruan Shu smiled: "Officer Fu's questions, maybe it would be more convenient to ask Mr. Chen to answer them." It just so happened that Officer Fu was going to find Mr. Chen again. Then don't delay Officer Fu's time. ”

After that, she was about to cut off the call, and Fu Qingci's words came from the other end: "Last time, thank you for helping me inform Tan Xiao." I owe you this favor. ”

"Officer Fu doesn't need to be so polite. I'm just the one who brings the message in the middle, and it's the ...... that really helps you get the notifications in place Your brother. I don't know what kind of psychology it is, when he was about to speak, Ruan Shu used the words "your brother". Pursing the corners of her lips slightly, she continued, "Moreover, my purpose at that time was not to help Officer Fu, but to make Chen Qingzhou feel bad." So, Officer Fu didn't owe me any favors. ”

This time, it was Fu Qingci's turn to smile: "Okay, I understand, Miss Ruan." ”

"Hmm. Goodbye, Officer Fu. ”

"Goodbye, Miss Ruan."

End of call.

Ruan Shu frowned - after the plane landed, she bought a phone card and planned to use it temporarily to replace Chen Qingzhou's card, and then remembered that Chen Qingzhou said that he would call this number and informed her of the results of looking for her mobile phone, so she gave up for the time being.

Now I accidentally received a call from Fu Qingci, and I can't guarantee that I will receive another call from someone else in the future.

Just as I was thinking, the phone rang again.

The number is not the same as the one that Fu Qing resigned just now.

Ruan Shu didn't answer.

But two seconds, the other party sent a short message: "Miss Ruan, it's me, Chen Qingzhou." ”

Immediately, the phone rang again.

It was really said that Cao Cao Cao called, Ruan Shu picked it up and said politely: "Mr. Chen, hello." ”

"The card on this mobile phone is my private number, so Miss Ruan doesn't have to worry about receiving calls that she shouldn't answer." At the end of the day, Chen Qingzhou praised, "But Miss Ruan respects personal privacy, and I still want to express my gratitude." ”

"I'm afraid I'm going to live up to Mr. Chen's gratitude to me." Ruan Shu paused for a moment and informed, "A minute ago, Officer Fu just called to find you, and I answered. ”

Chen Qingzhou was silent for a second, and then said lightly: "Okay, thank you, Miss Ruan, I know." ”

Hearing his reaction, Ruan Shu stopped talking and asked about himself: "My mobile phone-"

Before she could speak, Chen Qingzhou took over the conversation: "Miss Ruan's mobile phone has been found." ”

Although he had calmly lost it before, but now that he was able to regain it, Ruan Shu was somewhat happy.

"Where did you find it? How did you find it? Adjusted the monitoring? ”

"Starbucks. I haven't had time to adjust the monitoring yet. It's the cleaner. However, she is not in private possession, just waiting for her owner to claim it. Miss Nguyen was found not long after she left, but you should have been on the plane at the time, so I'm only calling now. After explaining, Chen Qingzhou then asked, "If Miss Ruan is in a hurry, I will send it to you now." ”

"Okay, I'll edit the address and send you a message later." Ruan Shu expressed her heartfelt gratitude: "Thank you, Mr. Chen. ”

"Miss Ruan is polite again." Sluggish, Chen Qingzhou asked casually, "Miss Ruan is on a business trip?" ”

Ruan Shu said lightly: "Yes." ”

"That doesn't bother Miss Ruan. Good luck. ”

"Thank you."

"Goodbye."

Ruan Shu pinched his phone and gently checked it.

She admits that she doesn't actually hate Chen Qingzhou as much as she verbally. Probably because the two are fated, they meet at every turn. The last time she was allergic to chili peppers, he helped her get an injection, and this time the airport first aid added points to her impression of him.

*

The hotel is booked opposite the convention center.

After arriving, Ruan Shu got out of the taxi and was about to take out the suitcase when a hand reached over from the horizontal stab.

Subconsciously raised his head, Li Mao was smiling at her: "Mr. Ruan, fortunately, I just lost my mobile phone, and the most important thing is that you are okay." ”

"Thank you." Ruan Shuwaner took back the lever of the suitcase from his hand, "I can do it myself." ”

Li Mao also took it again: "Mr. Ruan, it's just to help you pull a suitcase, and it won't show that you are weak." But I need to be a gentleman. ”

After saying that, without waiting for her to postpone any longer, he took the lead in stepping in.

Seeing this, Ruan Shu did not argue with him for a suitcase in public.

After checking in, the two took the elevator upstairs together, Li Mao kept sending her to the door of her room, took the initiative to stop, handed her back the suitcase, and then pointed to the other end of the aisle: "I live in the last few rooms with other colleagues." ”

Ruan Shu leaned over a little and asked, "What about the others?" ”

"Mr. Ruan forgot? Today is the first day of the show, and of course they are in the exhibition hall. Then Li Mao looked at the time, "Mr. Ruan, then I'll go back to the exhibition hall first and continue to be busy." ”

"Is it necessary? I came out of the exhibition hall to pick me up. Do you want to take the opportunity to be lazy? Ruan Shu joked, brushed open the door, and said, "You wait for me for a while, I'll go in and put my luggage and go to the exhibition hall with you." ”

"Mr. Ruan just got off the plane and rushed to the hotel, so let's rest for a while and take a breath." Li Mao suggested.

"No, I don't. Wait a minute. Ruan Shu said softly and dragged the suitcase into the room.

After a while, when she came out again, she had changed into a dark green suit.

Carrying a handbag in one hand and hanging at your side with the other. The exposed wrist was thin, with white skin, and wore a string of white chalcedony. Under the pencil skirt skirt that fits her figure very well, her calves are straight and slender and well-proportioned, and every step of the way invisibly brings out the charm and style of a woman.

"Did you go to see the opening ceremony this morning?" Ruan Shu walked into the elevator and turned his head to ask.

Li Mao retracted his gaze without a trace, took the initiative to reach out and pressed the button of the elevator, and nodded: "Go." This year is more ...... than last year."

“……”

Talking all the way to the exhibition hall, it was lunch time, and the colleagues in charge of the exhibition work in Lin's booth were taking turns to eat. At first glance, when he saw Ruan Shu appear, he was immediately silenced, and greeted in unison: "Mr. Ruan!" ”

Seeing this, Li Mao suddenly remembered: "By the way, Mr. Ruan, you came directly from the airport, and you haven't had lunch yet, right?" ”

Ruan Shu wasn't actually hungry, but he still smiled: "So I came here to order a meal." Just eat with you. ”

As she spoke, she stepped forward and bent over to look at the incubator containing the boxed lunch: "What are the dishes today?" ”

The director of the planning department was busy stopping: "Mr. Ruan, don't make do with us here." There are restaurants in the exhibition, and there are dishes from various countries. ”

Immediately, she blamed Li Mao: "Mr. Ruan is coming over, why didn't you tell us in advance?" It's too late to prepare. ”

Everyone originally thought that Ruan Shu would go to the supporting exchange forum and industry conference of the exhibition first, but they did not expect her inspection to come so unexpectedly.

When Li Mao heard this, he immediately proposed: "Mr. Ruan, there is a Japanese restaurant across the road from the Convention and Exhibition Center, which is very good, let me accompany you to try it." ”

"No, I don't. Don't waste time. I'll just eat whatever I want. Ruan Shu directly refused, picked up a boxed lunch, walked to the empty seat in the corner and sat down, and immediately looked up at them and smiled, "Don't look at me, continue to eat when you should eat, and continue to do things when you should do." ”

Li Mao and the director of the planning department looked at each other silently, and unanimously decided not to dissuade them again.

Knowing in his heart that her presence would cause invisible pressure on others, Ruan Shu did not delay too much time, and quickly finished eating and went to do his own business.

Before coming, she received some information about the exhibition that Miao Jia sorted out for her overnight, Ruan Shu walked around alone with a more purposeful purpose, and then walked to the conference hall on the second floor, in the conference hall, met several familiar CEOs, and many cooperative agents.

The whole afternoon was spent listening to the industry reports of several experts and chatting with people.

After the meeting, Ruan Shu returned to Lin's booth. There is still half an hour before the end of today's exhibition, she asked everyone to leave work early, and the director of the planning department took the opportunity to propose: "It is rare for Mr. Ruan to come to the exhibition this year, does Mr. Ruan appreciate his face and have dinner with us?" A few new little girls usually don't have much chance to have direct contact with Mr. Ruan. ”

Ruan Shu naturally would not let go of this opportunity to get closer to the employees, and agreed with a smile: "If you want me to have a treat, just say it directly." ”

The director of the planning department smiled: "This is not waiting for President Ruan to take the initiative. ”

Ruan Shu glanced at her lightly: "Let's go, what you want to eat, discuss it yourself, albeit casually." ”

Several people cheered subduedly.

When Ruan Shu walked to Li Mao's side, he turned his head sideways and asked him: "The impression I usually give in the company, is it particularly difficult to get close to?" ”

Li Mao nodded: "Ruan is always a little cold. ”

Ruan Shu didn't think this was a shortcoming, and corrected: "It's not cold, it's to maintain the majesty that you should have as a superior in front of the employees." ”

In the end, the result of the discussion was to go to an izakaya near the hotel.

A very warm shop, a very low-key façade, a bustling after pushing open, the decoration is a Japanese elegant style, you have to take off your shoes when you enter the door, and the upstairs is a sunken tatami mat, like a lively local tavern in Japan.

A few people asked for a small bag, a self-service according to the head, and the variety of dishes and drinks was abundant, which was very enjoyable.

Ruan Shu thought about it carefully, after taking over the company for so many years, it was the first time she had a private meal with the company's employees like tonight, and there were more business dinners.

Most of them order seafood and grilled food. Ruan Shu ordered a separate bowl of the restaurant's main soba noodles, the taste was smooth, and the mixed ingredients were also very delicious, but unfortunately because she was in a bad overall state today, she felt sick to her stomach after not eating much.

"Mr. Ruan doesn't seem to have eaten much today. The noon meal was also rare. Li Mao, who was sitting next to her, helped her add the plum wine in the cup.

"Thank you." Ruan Shu took a few sips, Qingjin was appetizing, suppressed the dullness in his heart, and said lightly: "I didn't sleep well last night." ”

"Then Ruan, don't let them go crazy too late. And tomorrow the exhibition continues. Li Mao suggested.

As soon as the words fell, I heard the director of the planning department tease: "Director Li, your attention tonight is all on President Ruan, will your mind be too obvious?" ”

Li Mao was obviously a little angry when he heard this: "You drank too much, don't catch people and ridicule them indiscriminately." ”

"You usually like to run to President Ruan's office at every turn, and everyone can see it. It's the same supervisor, but no one else is as diligent as you, hahaha. ”

In fact, different people will hear two different meanings of this sentence, the first is to imply that Li Mao has feelings for Ruan Shu between men and women; The second is to allude to Li Maoba's stammering with Ruan Shuba's stammering too eye-catching.

Li Mao obviously heard the first meaning, and his anger was even worse, and he hurriedly subconsciously glanced at Ruan Shu.

Ruan Shu's expression did not have any special waves because of this, but only smiled lightly as always, and said: "Director Li has followed me for many years, not only is he a capable leader in the company's business, but also knows how to observe the thoughts of my superior leader, and I know that I have always welcomed you to come to my president's office for tea and exchange if you have anything to do. That's really a fight. ”

In his words, Li Mao heard a well-defined relationship between superiors and subordinates, the head of the planning department heard a warning about chewing the root of his tongue, and several new employees heard encouragement and affinity.

I heard someone gossip cautiously and asked: "Mr. Ruan, you and Fu are always boyfriend and girlfriend, right?" ”

This question instantly reminded everyone of the office's speculation about the relationship between Ruan Shu and Fu Lingyuan, and they all focused their eyes on Ruan Shu with curiosity and expectation.

"Me and Mr. Fu......" Ruan Shu brushed a lock of hair around his ear, but his lips were open, "You guess." ”

Everyone lamented in disappointment and was very dissatisfied: "Mr. Ruan, you are boring like this, right?" Don't deliberately sell off! ”

Ruan Shu smiled: "If you don't sell Guanzi, won't you have one less gossip after dinner?" ”

The atmosphere was lively, and it lasted until 11 o'clock when the izakaya was about to close, and everyone returned to the hotel together.

Ruan Shu's alcohol consumption was naturally good, and the degree of those plum wines was nothing compared to her, but because she didn't have much stomach in front of her, the wine was on the way back, and her footsteps were a little floating.

She lived in more room than others, Li Mao was not at ease, and accompanied her to the door of the room.

"Alright, thank you, Director Li. Go back and rest. Ruan Shu smiled and waved, and then took the room card and swiped the door.

When she was about to push the door in, her steps were too procrastinated, and her high heels were accidentally tripped over the seams between the carpet and the carpet, and her figure suddenly staggered, and Li Mao quickly supported her waist.

Ruan Shu looked up in a daze, and found the door open from the inside.

Fu Lingyuan was dressed in a black nightgown, with his arms folded, staring at them with a cold face.
