successfully coaxed Yang Qianye back to the Sakura Apartment, but Lu Meiqin was still not happy.

The failure of the operation is not the result of the operation itself, but the meaning behind it. Only she knew how badly she had lost, and if she wanted to turn things around, she had to bet Ben back on the chocolate again.

On the other side, Yang Qianye moved back to the Sakura Apartment, and when she saw Da Mao, she made up a reason to prevaricate.

The luxurious and elegant residence is convenient and comfortable, and it is indeed a hundred times stronger than the cold floor of the gym.

However, like Lu Meiqin, she couldn't be happy, her mind was full of opinions and guesses about chocolate, true and false, intentions and motives, and she couldn't figure it out.

I poured some water in the kitchen and looked down to find that the garbage bag was full. Beer cans, snack packaging, all the garbage left by Song Yingchen after she moved away was not disposed of, so she leaned over and packed up the door, ready to throw it into the recycling bin in the corridor.

As soon as I entered the hallway, I heard a cry, and the sound came from the corner of the 11th and 10th floors. She tiptoed over and saw a figure squatting there, her back and shoulders twitching slightly.

"Who?"

The man turned around, apparently startled,

"Grandma Wang!" She hurriedly ran down and asked worriedly, "What's wrong with you?" ”

Grandma Wang shook her hand, as if she had indescribable sadness. Although the corridor was cramped and the lights were not very bright, the two of them really saw each other's faces clearly for the first time.

It turned out that Grandma Wang's face was neither strange nor vicious, on the contrary, she was kind and amiable, but at the moment she looked a little pitiful, the sorrow and wrinkles on her face were twisted together like a mess, and two full and hesitant tears overflowed her eyes and fell.

"Why don't you go home and sit here?"

Grandma Wang sighed and raised one arm, and Chiba hurriedly helped her get up. Grandma Wang wiped her tears, patted her buttocks again, and pretended to point upstairs with a strong finger, and Chiba supported her to go up one by one, and there was a tacit understanding in her speechlessness.

Grandma Wang had a faint scent of lavender on her body, which made Chiba feel calm.

Back on the 11th floor in the blink of an eye, Grandma Wang stopped.

"Where have you been, I haven't seen you for days."

Chiba couldn't help but be shocked, it turned out that Grandma Wang had been paying attention to her, so she lied: "Oh, I'm going back to my hometown." ”

Grandma Wang smiled and said something strange: "I knew why I had to do it today." ”

"Huh?"

"Didn't say you...... What, I'm fine, you don't have to worry. ”

"When I was a child, I often hid and cried alone." Chiba didn't know why he said such words, like comfort, but also like seeking comfort, it seems that sorrow and sorrow can communicate with each other and reduce each other, "It's okay to cry for a while, and it won't be so uncomfortable to vent your emotions." ”

Grandma Wang understood, and said apologetically, "I made you laugh." ”

"Everywhere, everyone has a time of vulnerability."

Grandma Wang nodded and walked towards her house, pausing for a moment before turning her head back.

"You're not curious?"

"What?"

"Why am I crying?"

Chiba licked her lips, a little embarrassed. "I'm not curious, every family has a scripture that is difficult to read. Of course, if you feel comfortable saying it, I'm willing to listen. ”

Grandma Wang arched her eyebrows and stared at her.

"Going to sit with you?"

After thinking for half a second, Chiba opened the door. "Welcome."

Entering 1101, she hurriedly ran to pour water, a little flattered. This is the first time that Grandma Wang has spoken softly to her, and it is also the first time that she has taken the initiative to ask for face-to-face communication.

Grandma Wang wandered around the living room and looked at the locked bedroom.

"Are you afraid of living in such a big house alone?"

"I was a little scared when I first came, but then I got used to it. I only move around in the living room and bedroom, and I don't go to other places much, so I don't think it's too big. ”

handed over the water and asked Grandma Wang to sit down, and she intimately handed over the fan.

"I'm different, I'm not used to it, and I don't know why these people built such a big house. With no one to accompany you, the bigger the room, the emptier the heart. ”

"Where's your family?"

As soon as she asked this question, she regretted it, and tried to make her eyes appear sincere and unintentional, so as not to make Grandma Wang feel reckless.

"The old man died, and he began to be widowed in his forties, and the children had their own business and didn't want to drag them down. What about you, came to Deer City alone? ”

"Me?" She paused, "Yes." ”

"What are you going to do?"

"Big city, I want to break through." She lied clumsily, blushing through.

"What's there to break into, this place is too dirty, it's not the place you should be. If I were you, I would be filial to my parents when I go home and guard my own acre and three points of land. Grandma Wang said unceremoniously.

"Yes...... You drink water. ”

Grandma Wang picked up the water cup, put it to her mouth but didn't drink it, and put the cup back after a while.

Chiba rubbed the sweat on his forehead with his wrist.

"It's so hot, you don't blow the air conditioner?"

"The landlord is paying for water and electricity, and it's not good to spend more people's money."

"It's a sensible child...... "Grandma Wang leaned out and returned the fan to her, "will think about others, be good." ”

She smirked, not knowing how to respond, but the motherhood of an older woman surrounded her, giving her the illusion of being in the same room with her mother.

"Alright, I should go back too, you still need to sleep." Grandma Wang said, got up and walked out.

"Grandma Wang, are you feeling better?"

Grandma Wang didn't turn around, but stood there and sighed.

"I miss my son."

"I'll go to him if I want to."

"Too far."

"Then let him come and see you, now that it's so convenient to fly a car, where can you go."

"No, none of these vehicles can be reached." Grandma Wang turned her head slowly, with infinite melancholy in her eyes.

Hearing this, Chiba felt inexplicably sad.

Grandma Wang shook her head and replied to 1102.

Not long after the door closed, there was another knock on the door, and Chiba opened it to see that there was a floor fan on the ground. Although it is an old thing, it is not broken, and the screw fan blades are solid, which is a good thing at a glance.

After a hurried shower, she opened her diary and wrote on it:

"I moved back again, and I can't tell what I feel like. Seeing Aunt Lu's helpless appearance today, I was a little scared, afraid that one day I would encounter a similar situation but I didn't know what to do. She's so capable that a person can't do anything, so what can I do? But then again, is it right for chocolate to do this, to take advantage of a person's trust, and turn his face when he says it...... But maybe it's really Aunt Lu who is too sensitive. Since Chocolate wants to help us, it won't be so unreasonable. Hey, it's all because I'm not confident and too persistent, but what else can I do but believe? Mysterious man, when will you be able to tell me the truth, and if you will torture me mentally before telling me, like you tortured Aunt Lu. I'm afraid, really afraid, nothing is more important than finding the murderer, you can joke about anything, but please don't tease me about it. Come on. ”

……

The next day, Chiba got up early in the morning, and when he arrived at the company, the other colleagues had not yet arrived.

However, she was not the first, and there was one person who didn't leave at all last night - Steven added an all-night to rush work.

She made a cup of coffee, took out a cookie from a drawer, and handed it over.

"Director early, and all night?"

Steven was still busy, didn't even look at her, put away the coffee biscuits, and she walked out in a funny way.

"Come and see." Steven said suddenly.

She walked back, and the screen turned.

"It's finally out." Steven stretched and picked up his coffee.

On the screen is the project in which all the staff of the second marketing department participated in the recent project, and there were more than 100 drafts before and after, and finally Steven decided to do it himself.

"How?" He asked with a smile.

This should be the first time that Chiba has seen such a brilliant expression bloom on that unsmiling and even somewhat solemn face.

She doesn't understand, let alone say anything valuable, but the eye-catching appeal and ingenuity of the design revealed in the work are indeed beyond the reach of those previous manuscripts. Then there's Steven's smile, just by looking at it, you can see how happy he is with the work.

"I don't understand, but I love it." She actually has a lot of beautiful words, but she knows that Steven doesn't like compliments and doesn't dare to make them rash.

Steven packed up, locked his office and left the office. Tomorrow is the delivery day, and he is used to making decisions at the last minute, which is a habit of slightly obsessive-compulsive disorder and a habit of "self-abuse".

It was noon, Chiba and Rabbit came back from lunch, Rabbit slept on the table, and she began to read. After looking at it for a while, I yawned a few times, so I planned to make a cup of coffee to refresh myself.

Walking into the pantry, just after the coffee was brewed, David walked in.

"Chiba." He beckoned.

"What the manager drinks, I'll get it for you."

"Coffee bar, thank you." David grabbed a newspaper and read, "By the way, you have the key to Steven's office, right?" ”

"Yes, what's wrong?"

"The company bought a batch of air purifiers, installed them in every office, and arrived in the afternoon. He's not there, so you open the office and let the workers in. ”

"He only went back in the morning, saying he wanted to sleep for a while."

"It's going to be tomorrow morning."

She handed the coffee to David.

"Yes, no one can afford to stay up all night."

"So it's." David concluded.

An hour later, sure enough, a worker came to install the purifier, and the colleagues in the office area were very excited.

"The boss is arrogant, like an import." Bunny said.

Chiba followed the workers to separate the purifiers into different positions, and finally came to Steven's office, took out the key to open the door, and the two workers carried the machine inside, unpacking and installing it in an orderly manner.

David came over again.

"Chiba, I need a list of local media prices in the past three years, make a form for me."

"Okay, I'll get it when I'm done here."

"Master, how long will it take?" David asked.

"More than ten minutes." Said the worker.

"Then I'll keep watch here, you can go." David commanded.

Chiba nodded and returned to the workbench.

While preparing the materials required by David, the workers also completed the installation and commissioning of the purifier.

"The boss was so considerate." Chiba greedily took a puff of air full of negative oxygen ions.

"Let me tell you, women are more generous than men and are willing to spend money. If the boss is a man, he won't buy any purifier, and every penny will be cut out of the water. The little rabbit gossiped.

"I haven't seen my boss in a long time. By the way, is she coming tomorrow? ”

"Tomorrow?" The little rabbit was surprised.

"Isn't tomorrow the day your proposal is submitted?"

"You know that." The little rabbit said without yin or yang, turned his head and continued to work.
