The matter came to an end, and many colleagues said that Ji Yan was just a fluke and turned a blind eye to her real ability.

Ji Yan didn't want to worry too much, he still concentrated on the work at hand, and at the same time began to prepare for the election.

As evening approached, she finally found time to rest, so she picked up her phone, which she hadn't turned on for a long time.

Seeing that there was a missed call from Lu Tingshen on it, she realized that she was too busy to take care of him.

When he got off work, Ji Yan left work and called the phone back as soon as possible, but he didn't want to wait for Lu Tingshen to answer.

At this time, Lu Tingshen was already on his way to the airport, he turned off the phone directly out of anger, and specially set up a voice message.

Hearing Lu Tingshen's voice in the message, Ji Yan was surprised and strange.

"Why did he suddenly go on a business trip abroad?" Ji Yan stood downstairs in the company and asked himself inexplicably.

Looking at the gradually darkening sky, Ji Yan guessed that since the mobile phone had been turned off, Lu Tingshen must have been on the flight to Los Angeles by now.

However, he has always been alone, Ji Yan didn't think much about it, and walked alone on the sidewalk.

At this moment, the mobile phone rang suddenly.

"Lu Tingshen called again?"

Ji Yan's eyes were shocked, and he secretly thought in his heart, and hurriedly took out his mobile phone from his purse.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Cheng's name flashed on the screen, which couldn't help but surprise her.

The phone was connected, and Ji Yan asked in a cold voice, "Why did you call me?" Something to say. ”

Jiang Cheng on the other end heard that her tone was obviously carrying a certain emotion, so he asked curiously: "What's wrong with you?" Are you in a bad mood? Do you want me to accompany you to borrow wine to drown your sorrows? ”

Jiang Cheng's words were frivolous, Ji Yan frowned impatiently, and denied with irritability: "No need, I'm just a little tired from work, what are you looking for me?" ”

Since Ji Yan was not so interested, Jiang Cheng did not continue to be bored.

He got straight to the point, and said in a mysterious tone: "I want to ask you out to talk about things, it's a very important matter!" ”

Although Ji Yan didn't know the intention of Jiang Cheng's call, it was definitely not a good thing to avoid him, so he decisively refused.

"Forget about meeting, what's not to say on the phone? If you want to say it, I'm busy and don't want to waste time with you. ”

Hearing that Ji Yan had no intention of meeting him, Jiang Cheng had no choice but to try his best to fight for it.

"Look at you, what are you angry about! It's time for dinner, no matter how busy you are, you have to eat, I'm in for a treat, let's talk while eating. ”

Jiang Cheng was talking about it, but he was trying to deceive Ji Yan in his mind.

In the end, she couldn't resist Jiang Cheng's soft grinding and hard bubbles, Ji Yan also wanted to know what was important about this person, and she was going home to eat dinner alone, so she reluctantly agreed.

In the evening, the two sat in the western restaurant, and Jiang Cheng deliberately ordered many dishes in order to show that he was generous.

However, Ji Yan has not had much heart to eat, his eyes are staring in the direction of the door, watching the customers coming and going.

"Why don't you eat more, don't you like what I ordered?" Jiang Cheng asked in a flattering tone.

Ji Yan's face was expressionless, and he wrote lightly: "I said on the phone just now that I was a little tired, so I don't have much appetite." ”

Finally seized the opportunity, Jiang Cheng was not dead to Ji Yan's thief, and tried his best to plan to get her tonight.

"How can you lose your appetite? Looks like you need to have some wine to appetize! Jiang Cheng responded self-righteously.

As he spoke, he called the waiter, and the two inadvertently whispered with their eyes.

Then the waiter brought two bottles of red wine and introduced it exaggeratedly: "This is the top home-brewed red wine in this restaurant, and the owner has a vineyard in France, so it is all airlifted to China, please taste it." ”

Seeing the waiter put the goblet in front of him, Ji Yan wanted to taste it, but he didn't pick it up out of caution.

Because there was something in the wine, Jiang Cheng urged impatiently: "You can taste it, I drank this wine once before, and the taste is particularly mellow." ”

Ji Yan didn't show interest, and said in an indifferent tone: "I don't want to drink tonight, you better hurry up and talk about that important matter." ”

"I'll tell you when you drink wine with me." Jiang Cheng was so anxious that he simply began to play tricks.

Just when the two were at a stalemate over red wine, Father Jiang suddenly broke into the restaurant angrily.

Jiang's father had already heard that his son had ill intentions towards Ji Yan, and after following him all the way, he walked straight to the table of the two, without saying a word of nonsense, and ordered directly to Jiang Cheng: "You go home with me immediately!" ”

Jiang Cheng felt very embarrassed by this, and twisted his eyebrows to refuse: "Dad, didn't you see that I was eating with Miss Ji?" ”

Ji Yan, who was sitting opposite, was embarrassed by the scene in front of him, and got up to go to the cashier to pay first.

However, Jiang Cheng was very stubborn and stood up first to stop her.

"You sit down first, we haven't finished eating yet."

Ji Yan was caught in the middle and was in a dilemma, seeing that the anger on Father Jiang's face was about to explode.

Father Jiang deliberately turned a blind eye to Ji Yan, and said sharply to Jiang Cheng: "Did you hear Dad talking, I asked you to go home with me immediately!" ”

When the words fell, he pulled Jiang Cheng's sleeve and pulled it out, which immediately attracted the side glances of the restaurant customers.

After tugging for a while, Jiang Cheng finally followed his father out of the restaurant because of his face.

But after returning home, Jiang Cheng lost his temper and quarreled with his father, and then locked himself in the bedroom and fell asleep.

The next morning, he left the house without breakfast, drove directly to Ji's house, and counted Ji Rou mercilessly in front of them.

The scene at that time was even more embarrassing than in the restaurant the night before, but Jiang Cheng ignored his behavior and was a little rude, and criticized Ji Rou almost completely.

Ji Yan didn't know about these things, she came to work in the company as usual, turned on the computer and buried her head in the design in her hand.

In the next few days, she never contacted Lu Tingshen, and Lu Tingshen did not take the initiative to call again even when he returned from a business trip.

Sitting in the office, the assistant couldn't help but persuade when he saw Lu Ting's dusty appearance: "Mr. Lu, you just got off the plane or go back to rest." ”

"No, I'll have a meeting in an hour." Lu Tingshen said in a low tone, and opened a document casually.

After a few glances, he suddenly remembered something, looked up at the assistant and asked, "I'm not in the company these days, is there anything wrong?" ”

The assistant reported truthfully: "Mr. Lu, Mr. Yang wanted to ask you to have dinner the day before yesterday, and Ji Zhenxiong had called yesterday, and the rest are trivial things." ”

"I know, let's sort out the oversized affairs in the company and leave it to me, and I'll talk about them later." Lu Tingshen responded with a cold face.

Therefore, after returning from a business trip, Lu Tingshen began to get busy, lacking skills every day, even to the extent that his feet did not touch the ground.

Sometimes he would work late or stay late at night because he was out socializing.

For convenience, Lu Tingshen simply stayed in an apartment not far from the company every night, and has not been home since the day he flew to Los Angeles.

More than a week has passed now, although the two have never been in touch, even if it was a phone call, Ji Yan still learned from others that Lu Tingshen had returned from a business trip.

Ji Yan is accustomed to this kind of nominal marriage, going to and from work as usual, and going home on time every day, but he has never seen Lu Tingshen.

Until Friday, Ji Yan, who was tired from work, planned to go to the suburbs for a walk on the weekend, and before he got off work, he heard a colleague gossiping and gossiping.

"Have you seen the news, Mr. Lu of the Lu Group actually has a scandal!"

Hearing this, even though Ji Yan rarely joined the gossip between colleagues in the company, his ears were still attracted.

Two other colleagues returned their computers from their graphics software to their desktops and got up to chat with their coffees.

"You mean Lu Tingshen? Isn't he famously clean? ”

"yes, and he seems to have a wife."

Ji Yan's work was still being done, but his ears were listening quietly.

The comrades who read the news shrugged their shoulders and said disapprerovingly: "Those of them in the upper class all package themselves like this, and marrying a wife and going home is just a decoration, and people don't know how many celebrities and beauties they have to do with behind their backs." ”

Ji Yan belched in his heart, and he became more and more unable to concentrate on work.

She had an idea and wanted to ask her colleague Lu Tingshen who had an affair with, but in the end she remained silent.

At this time, my colleague issued a unanimous voice of approval: "It's also said that men don't have a fuel-efficient lamp, let alone a man like Lu Tingshen." ”

Immediately, someone asked out of curiosity: "You haven't said who his scandal is?" Is it a so-and-so star or a so-and-so daughter? ”

"It's a model, the news says I met at a dinner, it seems that the model is a mixed race, and she looks very beautiful!"

……

Listening to their conversation, Ji Yan finally understood that so many days had passed, no wonder Lu Tingshen didn't even say hello when he came back, it turned out that his personal life was so colorful.

She felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, and realized that the glamorous model was the type that Lu Tingshen liked.

She didn't go home at the usual time that night, but chose to work overtime in the company to do the design, and she didn't leave work until eight o'clock in the evening.

Colleagues from other departments passed by the design department and saw that the lights were still on inside, so they walked in to take a look.

"Sister Ji? Why are you still working overtime? ”

Xiao Liu from the next department stood at the door and asked curiously.

Ji Yan worked overtime on the surface, but in fact he was absent-minded, and when he heard someone talking to him, he seemed to wake up from a dream.

"Oh, I recently ran for the company's division, so get ready." She pretended to be calm and perfunctory.

Xiao Liu grinned when she heard this, and encouraged her sincerely: "So that's the case, Sister Ji has to come on, I believe that God rewards hard work, you work so hard, you will definitely stand out from the election!" ”

Although the people in the design department are rejecting and isolating Ji Yan, Xiao Liu's words made her feel the warmth she had not felt for a long time.

"Thank you, I just want to do the best I can." Ji Yan responded modestly.

The two looked at each other and smiled, Xiao Liu took out his mobile phone and glanced at it, and saw that the time was not early, and made a suggestion: "Sister Ji, it's already past eight o'clock, let's go out for some supper together, otherwise you don't have the physical strength to work overtime." ”

Ji Yan also understands the principle of combining work and rest, so he promised Xiao Liu, and the two of them ate together in a small shop near the company.

After eating, Xiao Liu was about to go home to rest, and when he saw that Ji Yan was planning to go back to the company, he couldn't help but remind out of concern: "Sister Ji, don't work overtime too late, otherwise your body will be unbearable." ”

"I know, you should go back early." Ji Yan responded lightly.

The night was hazy, and she looked at the back of her colleague who was drifting away, and suddenly felt a little lonely.
