Chapter 40: Unable to extricate himself
Jia Dong's meal ended quickly, Jia Dong sent the beautiful woman out, and he offered to send her home. Rejected by a beautiful woman. The beautiful woman stopped a taxi, got into the car, and slammed the door shut.
Jia Dong didn't move.
The beauty's car hadn't gone far yet, and she saw in the rearview mirror that Jia Dong had turned around and looked in the direction of the restaurant, as if waiting for someone to come out.
The entrance to the restaurant is dimly lit. There is an ancient charm of the old town.
Jia Dong leaned on the car door to smoke, looking at the little sparks on the cigarette butts, Jia Dong has been distracted.
He thought about it a lot, but in fact, his mind was not chaotic at all, but he kept thinking about Lili, and he couldn't pull it back. More and more unable to extricate themselves.
When he wanted to smoke the third cigarette, he saw Li Li and Fang Mu come out.
Jia Dong walked forward.
In the spring, which was a little cold, Lili shrunk her head into the collar of her coat. She was well fed and in a good mood.
"Lili." Jia Dong shouted.
Lili always knew that Jia Dong was outside, and she saw his car. Li Li turned her head, her eyes seemed to ripple in the dim light at the door of the restaurant.
"Are you going back? I'll send you. Jia Dong said.
Lili wanted to say, aren't you dating a girl, why are you waiting for me.
When the words came to her mouth, she swallowed again, she didn't want to embarrass Jiadong.
Jia Dong frowned when he saw Li Li and wanted to refuse him. And Fang Mu wanted to take Lili away. He said, "Lili, I still have something to tell you when I go back." ”
She said, "Okay, thank you." He turned around and explained to Fang Mu. Let Fang Mu leave first.
When I got to Jiadong's car, I saw cigarette ash and cigarette butts on the ground. It shows that he has been smoking while waiting for her. Jia Dong has no addiction to smoking. He didn't know how to smoke three cigarettes, which showed that he was in a nervous mood and used smoking to suppress it.
Lili glanced at him.
Jia Dong was a little unnatural.
Jia Dong opened the passenger door, and Li Li sat down.
There was a faint smell of tobacco in the carriage.
The car drove for seven or eight minutes, and Jia Dong didn't speak. Lili didn't bother him and let him be silent.
"Lili, do you want to learn a driver's license?"
He's not asking about that! But what did he want to ask?
Did he ask: I want you to come back to me, is it not good to be by my side? I can't ask that.
There was silence like this, and finally arrived at Lili's small apartment.
Lili never invited him to her house. The previous bungalow, and now this apartment.
The car stopped, and when Li Li was about to get out of the car, Jia Dong said: "Li Li ......"
"I don't want to be attached to you anymore, Fang Mu is a friend I met on the plane." Li Li said.
Jia Dong took a breath.
His hands were on the steering wheel, and all kinds of emotions were surging in his heart, but on the surface, he was calm and light, making him look a little indifferent.
Li Li waited for a while, and when she saw that she didn't speak, she pushed the car door and went down.
Jia Dong drove away, did not turn around, and left the other way.
"Did Jia Dong like me?" Lili stood in the darkness of the night, thinking.
After Li Li clarified her life goals, she must leave Jiadong. Yet he took over her heart. It's like there's a mountain that oppresses her. She fell asleep in bed and buried herself in the quilt.
At work on Monday, Roger, the marketing director, approached her. Roger was Gu Shangqing's college classmate. said that he would go to see Gu Shangqing in the evening and call her along. Ask her if she has time.
Lili snorted.
After work, Roger took Lili to drive to the guild hall on the outskirts of Beijing.
Gu Shangqing's wife has just returned from studying in the United States. After she came back, she didn't go to work, she married Gu Shangqing directly and became a full-time wife. She built this hall. It is used to make friends around and pass the time.
Roger and Gu Shangqing whispered directly, and Li Li greeted Gu Shangqing's wife. Mrs. Gu is very young, only 23 years old, and she talked about the business she wants to do in custom gemstones. Many of her friends at the club asked her when she would be able to make it.
Li Li felt that Mrs. Gu was like a canary in a golden cage, and she was very happy every day. At least better than her stray cat, she laughed at herself.
After a while, Jia Dong came alone. Lili's heart felt like it was being caught.
During the meal, Lili kept her eyes on him.
At the dinner table, they talked about Gu Shangqing's stammering with Luo Shui in college. Mrs. Gu was not happy, and they did not continue.
ridiculed Jiadong for always coming to deliver food boxes to Luoshui, and then even the women brought food boxes were cut off by Senior Brother Song.
Jia Dong looked at Li Li with a little weakness. Li Li pretended not to hear and talked to Mrs. Gu about her custom gemstones.
Roger heard that Jiadong was in Jiang Yukun's company, and Gu Shangqing's business was in charge of him. Just say that tomorrow I will take Lili to visit him in the company, hoping to have cooperation opportunities.
Li Li felt that it was still the stray cat that was picked up, and she couldn't get rid of Jiadong.
After dinner, everyone went to the café in the clubhouse for dessert. Jia Dong took the initiative to come to Lili's side and whispered, "I'll send you back at night?" ”
Li Li said: "I don't want Roger to know that I know you very well, and it is not good for me or you." ”
Jia Dong wanted to say that I didn't care, but he thought about Lili's feelings and held back.
"Then come with me for dinner tomorrow."
Looking at Jia Dong's expectant eyes, Li Li nodded vigorously.
Gu Shangqing and Roger came over and asked them what they were talking about. Jiadong said: "I asked Li Li if it was sweet? She nodded vigorously. ”
Lili was putting a small half of the cake in her mouth and almost choked.
Jiadong hurriedly brought a cup of black tea to Lili: "Slow down." ”
Then Jia Dong smiled, Li Li moved away, he always felt that there was something missing in the house, like a cat that had run away.
Seeing Lili in front of him, Jiadong was very down-to-earth.
The next day, Roger took the product manager and Lili to the Oriental Plaza. Jia Dong had already booked a meeting room.
And bought a lot of coffee and snacks from downstairs to send them up, including Lili's favorite latte.
George Ho is a product manager at NORD, and Li Li is his assistant. After Lili came, he was much more relaxed and gave Lili all the trivial work that needed to be on a business trip.
Yesterday, he originally asked Li Li to go through the compiled PPT file to himself, and Li Li went with Luo Ming.
After Lili came, after Lili wrote all the report documents, she told George again, and George could use them for his own use, and there was almost no need to make any changes.
Lili is much better than the previous assistant product manager. The previous assistant would only give him some raw data, and there would be mistakes in the entry of raw data.
George dared to steal credit like this, also because he felt that Li Li had no work experience, and although he worked hard, he never performed. Legend has it that she was recommended by Roger, but she never communicated with Roger.
George often reported his work to Roger to let Roger know about his status, and Roger never asked Lili.
Lili, who has always been reluctant to swallow her anger, is now so close to Roger, which is very bad for George.
The morning session was led by George.
That PPT was compiled by Li Li, and I didn't have time to tell George about her compilation ideas. George spoke with great difficulty, just read it word by word.
Jia Dong saw that this was done by Lili. His previous documents were all made by Lili, Lili's thinking is very capable, she will put the conclusions or questions raised in the meeting in the front, and the later argumentation process is also jumpy.
The advantage of this PPT structure is that there is time to elaborate on the complete document, and there is no time to express opinions or conclusions briefly. When in doubt, extrapolate.
Seeing that George was struggling, Jia Dong smiled at Lili.
Roger was not very satisfied with George's preface and afterword. Understand that this document was not made by George.
Jia Dong's question was also met by George. Roger asked Li Li directly, and Li Li answered fluently. These are the data and problems they have reported from the regions and regions that she has traveled to on business over the past year.
After the meeting, Roger and the others were leaving, and Jia Dong asked Li Li if he had any questions. Roger looked at Lili and then at George, and agreed. George's face was gloomy and he was about to squeeze out the water.
"You're often tortured by George?" Jia Dong took Li Li to his office and immediately took her hand and said.
Li Li shook off Jia Dong. "Mr. Yu, please pay attention to the occasion."
"Okay, let's change the occasion." Jia Dong went out with Lili. Lili was taken by him again, as before, and never asked him where he was taking her.
Jia Dong wanted to take her back to his home. Seeing Lili biting her lip all the way, as if she had some grievance, she wanted to sneak away.
"She just wanted to leave me." Jia Dong smiled bitterly and took Li Li to the newly opened Thai restaurant downstairs.
After eating, Jia Dong said: "We are now in a cooperative relationship, and we will meet often." Then he drove her back.
