Xu Yijing said that as long as you have truly loved, no matter how you separate, it will hurt. But you can't just go on because you're afraid of pain.

She's so brave.

In the evening we went to IKEA to buy some small furniture. I didn't go back to my parents on Sunday, so I hurried up to clean up the empty cottage in my house, and then Xu Yijing officially moved in.

The Autumn Housing Show took place the following weekend, September 17th. I also went and got back a lot of promotional materials for the real estate to keep as reference materials. I turned around a few exhibition halls, but I didn't see the little fresh meat in Nanluoguxiang again.

The owner of the golf car who was slammed by me never contacted me, I don't understand why, I wonder if my message was taken away, the owner didn't see it. But this matter can only be stopped, and gradually I am left behind.

After the autumn housing exhibition, Xu Yijing, as the marketing director, was busy, Langyuan Real Estate is a large company, there are many projects, and the publicity and marketing of each project after the housing exhibition have to keep up, so she works overtime almost every day. Although we live under the same roof, there is very little time to actually sit together to eat and chat.

The end of the year is a busy season, and I'm no exception.

I lay in front of Lin Su's office and pleaded with her weakly: "Can you not give us a job?" ”

Lin Xu flipped through her work notebook, "I just finished checking it during the meeting this morning, and Yuanzhi's annual report has been approved by them, so it's all that remains for proofreading and preprinting; The desk calendar has also been designed on your side, and the follow-up will be handed over to the people below to do; There's also a brochure for the orchestra, a brochure for the fire company......" she looked up at me, "what else do you have in your hands?" ”

"How much more work?" I sat down on the couch in her room, "Can't you give Li Yuanwei their group?" ”

Lin Xu held his cheeks and looked at me with a smile, "Don't struggle, to tell you the truth, it's not that I want to take this job, and second, it's not that I want to share this job with you." She pointed her finger up, lowered her voice and said, "I heard that the marketing director of the other company's company asked Cheng Liren to pick you up." ”

Named to our boss? I was stunned, "Who?" ”

Lin Xu shrugged, flipped through his notebook, pointed to a line of words and read: "The person they contacted me is called Lin Jiangnan, but it should only be a commissioner, as for who the marketing director is......" She squeezed her eyes at me, "Just follow me to see." ”

"Look at your gossip look." I said disgustedly.

"Older young women don't miss any opportunity." Lin Xu crossed his fingers and said to me: "You will be 30 years old next year, even if you start falling in love immediately, you have to talk about it for two years, and then get married and prepare for pregnancy, at least another year has passed." If you don't hurry up now, you will have a baby at an advanced age by then, and all kinds of risks will increase. ”

"Lin Su, why are you so vulgar now!" I laughed and scolded: "I found that since you have a child, you really can't leave the child in three sentences." ”

"No way, now it's a child in addition to work, and you'll understand when you have a child in the future." Lin Su's eyes turned to the photo frame on her desk, her eyes seemed to have light, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously raised an arc, "My daughter is so cute, really, I feel that everything is worth it when I see her." ”

When Lin Su talked about her daughter, the whole person seemed to be shrouded in a holy light, so I had no way to delve into the deep meaning of this sentence of 'everything is worth it', and according to logical analysis, the 'what' in this sentence should have been worthless.

"I won't talk to you about the child, I'm busy." I got up and left. Lin Su reminded me: "Set off at half past two in the afternoon. ”

In November, the weather is already very cold, the leaves of the trees are almost gone, and the autumn wind is bitter and gloomy. There was central air conditioning in the office building, and I didn't want to go out, but at 2:20, Lin Su came to me dressed neatly. I struggled to no avail, so I wrapped myself tightly and left the warm room.

The company we're going to is a tech industry development company called Orange Time. According to Lin Su, its parent company is Jiangmei Group, which is in Xi'an. I have heard this group mentioned before, and it is a real estate developer in the northwest region. I guess this technology industry should be a project to develop industrial parks, not a small job.

But how could someone in such a big company name me to take on a design project? How can I have such power?

Orange Time Company is not far from our company, and it takes more than ten minutes to drive. When she got out of the car, Lin Su's phone rang, as if it was her husband calling. She took her work notes out of her bag and gave them to me, flipped to a page, pointed to a name and phone number on them, meaning to get me in touch, and got out of the car first.

I sat in the car and counted the numbers one by one in my notebook, and then dialed them out. After the phone rang three times, it was connected, and the other party's voice came out of the receiver: "Hello, who is it?" ”

I was stunned for a moment.

"Oh, hello, I'm the design director of Chengmei Design, I made an appointment with you yesterday, and now I'm downstairs."

"Wait in the lobby on the first floor, I'll go down and pick you up."

I hung up the phone and watched the string of phone numbers disappear from the screen, dazed.

This voice sounds a little familiar!

Lin Su came over and asked me if I had been contacted, I told her, and when I saw that she looked bad, I asked her what was wrong, Lin Su let out a long sigh, "It's okay, the child has a fever, and my husband asked me if I can go back now." ”

"Does it burn badly?"

"More than 38 degrees. It is also common for small children to have a fever, and it is okay. Lin Xu glanced at his phone as he spoke, "I'll go home directly after a while." ”

"Otherwise, you'll have to go back now, I think you're worried." I said, "Anyway, it's the first time we've been in contact with us, so we can't talk about anything substantive." ”

Lin Su hesitated for a moment, it seemed that she wanted to leave very much, but finally shook her head, "It's okay, it's not bad for a while." Then she pulled me, "Sumi, let's talk about it later, let's talk about it quickly, and we can solve it quickly." ”

"No problem, I'll cooperate with you." I readily agreed.

We walked into the lobby on the first floor, and when we entered, we saw a young man walking out of the elevator. One is one meter eight tall, has not yet grown a belly, the top of the head is not bald, the shoulders are broad, the back is straight, the legs are thin, the face is clean, and the eyes are clear. The main thing is that I have met him.

It can be seen that the voice I felt familiar just now, not false.

It was a little funny, a little dramatic, so I lowered my head and smiled quietly, and when I looked up again, he was already in front of us. Unlike the previous two meetings, today he was dressed quite formally, with a suit and trousers and leather shoes, and he was in good spirits.

He probably didn't hear my voice just now, so he was quite surprised to see me at this moment, and immediately smiled, and the late autumn season was full of sunshine and warmth.

This time I finally knew his name, so I stretched out my hand, "Hello, Lin Jiangnan, right?" ”

"Well, hello." Lin Jiangnan shook hands with me, the palm of his hand was dry and warm, and the strength was moderate.

I didn't introduce myself, he didn't mention my name, I guess he forgot what my name was, which is of course normal, after all, it's been two months. Lin Xu also greeted him and shook hands.

"Here, please." Lin Jiangnan took us into the elevator. In the elevator, Lin Su casually chatted with him, and the conversation was naturally about the aspects that Lin Su was interested in, such as what projects they are currently developing, the general structure of the company, and the reporting process.

I stood silently behind him, looking at him calmly and bluntly through the reflection of the elevator door. The young man is so good-looking, and quite attractive. During the interval of talking with Lin Xu, Lin Jiangnan seemed to feel my gaze, and his eyes turned around. Just then, the elevator clanged and the elevator doors opened, and the images of the two of us disappeared.

He seemed to subconsciously turn his head, so I smiled at him, "Arrived?" ”

"Here we are."

The moment I stepped out of the elevator door, an idea suddenly hit my mind: 'This time, Orange Time asked our company to do the design, and asked me to do it, could it be that the marketing director of Orange Time is Lin Jiangnan?!' I was thrilled with the thought for two seconds, and I quickly came back to my senses. It's so romantic! I don't have that much charm to support this kind of bridge.

The Orange Time company can see that it is very new, very new, full of the smell of new furniture, and the workstation is not yet full. Lin Jiangnan asked us to wait in the conference room before leaving. After a while, a middle-aged man who had grown a little belly pushed the door in.

So Lin Jiangnan is not a marketing director, and I really don't have such a big charm.

As soon as the marketing director entered the door, he walked over to me with a smile on his face, stretched out his hand from a distance, and said, "Sumi! Ouch, long time no see, long time no see, you really haven't changed at all. ”

I stood up vaguely and looked at the man in front of me for five seconds before I finally succeeded in comparing this face with the face stored in the memory bank, "Cao Hui? ”

"Isn't it a surprise?" Cao Hui squeezed his eyes at me.

"Ah......" I have nothing to say.

He shook hands with me and almost pulled my hand straight through, "I've changed a lot, I'm getting old." It's not as youthful and beautiful as you. ”

The word "youthful and beautiful" gave me goosebumps, and I almost couldn't hold back my smile, "No, no, you haven't changed much." I remember you went back to your hometown after graduation and came back again? ”

"Do you remember?" Cao Hui's smile became even worse, "Yes, yes, yes, I have been developing in Xi'an all these years, and this time the group has set up a new company, let me take charge of the work of publicity and marketing." He looked at me with a very playful and sly gaze: "Look, don't I think of you?" They are all old classmates, and they have to take care of each other. ”

"Hehe, yes, really...... Thank you, Mr. Cao. I said politely.

"Look at you, so outside. Let's call me Cao Hui, nothing is always the same, it's too empty. Come on, sit down, sit down. ”

When I sat down, I looked at Lin Su, Lin Su's eyes were full of words, but I couldn't say anything to her at the moment, I just shrugged my shoulders at her with a wry smile.

At this time, Lin Jiangnan and a young girl came in with a few bottles of mineral water and placed them in front of the participants one by one. Cao Hui picked up the mineral water and snorted, tilted his head and said to the girl: "Fu Yun, prepare the water that should be prepared before the next meeting, don't wait for everyone to come and be busy with this." ”

"Oh." The girl named Fu Yun pushed her glasses.

Cao Hui pinched the mineral water bottle with his hand, "It's cold this day, can't you prepare some hot water when the guests come?" Especially this lesbian ......"

"It's fine." I unscrewed the lid with a 'click', "The mineral water is good, it's hot in your house, I just want to drink something cold." ”

"Girl's house, drink less cold." Cao Hui suddenly said this, and all of a sudden, the air in the entire conference room froze, and I felt like a porcupine, and the thorns in my back stood up. I glanced at Lin Jiangnan, saw that the corners of his mouth trembled slightly, tried very hard to endure a smile, and then asked me in a low voice, "Do you want to drink hot water?" ”

"No!" I say it categorically.

Lin Su was in a hurry to hold a meeting, and hurriedly pulled everyone to the point: "Mr. Cao doesn't have to be so polite, let's have a meeting first." ”

Lin Jiangnan opened the laptop very calmly, put the notepad again, and then unbuttoned his suit and sat down next to me. The informal meeting finally began as he sat down, as if he were the leader.

"Mr. Cao, these two are designed by Chengmei, and this is Lin Xu, the account director." Lin Jiangnan's voice was particularly nice in this conference room with a good pitching effect, and after introducing Lin Xu, he looked at me again, "This is the design director, Su Mi." ”

Yo, it's ok, he still remembers my name.

I'm satisfied.
