Fang Xiao (17)
Fang Xiao kept returning to her office, and the voice still seemed to linger in her ears, making her feel impetuous.
And it didn't seem right that day. The budget of the financial statements was wrong, and the laptop was suddenly locked, and the key kept prompting that the password did not match, so I had to call someone from the technical department to come up and see, and no one even rang the bell to call Xiaoxian.
"Damn it!" She muttered a curse, so she had to make coffee by herself, just put the coffee pot on the fire, but the phone rang again, her mood was extremely bad, and when she picked it up and listened, it was Chu Mingrui.
"Xiaoxiao." There was a lazy pleasure in his voice, "It feels good to get a good night's sleep, I should have brought you home with me, you're going to love everything hereβwhat are you doing?" β
Fang Xiao was silent, which surprised him: "What's wrong?" β
"Nothing." Fang Xiao habitually used his hands to wrap around the phone line, one or two ......circles, "I just saw your ex-wife, received a completely wrong report, lost the key to my laptop, and disappeared my secretary." β
He was silent on the other end of the phone for a few seconds, then he laughed easily, also in a teasing tone: "Oh! Poor Mrs. Chu. β
Fang Xiao said: "I don't have the strength or mood to joke with you. Mr. Chu, we'll talk about it when you come back. β
But he said, "No, I won't let you wait for me to go back with doubts, Anna has found you?" Ignore her, she has intermittent schizophrenia. After I divorced her, she always went around publicizing how I was using her to steal her property. β
Fang Xiao asked, "Do you have it?" β
He smiled and asked, "If you're as smart as you, why don't you think for yourself?" β
Fang Xiao loosened the phone line wrapped around her finger again and again, and she said, "You never told me that you had an ex-wife, otherwise, I wouldn't have been caught off guard." β
His laughter came from across the ocean: "I thought it didn't matter. It is true that I once married a madman for a large sum of money, but I have long since gotten rid of her. β
She let out an "oh". He said, "You should know how your husband got his start and got into a ridiculous marriage. The madman fell in love with me, and her father gave me a large sum of money on the condition that I marry the madman. I said yes, and it took two years to get rid of her. β
Fang Xiao asked, "Then aren't you breaking the contract?" β
He replied: "He only asked me to marry his daughter, and he didn't make me love her, and he didn't say that I couldn't get a divorce." β
She said in a light tone: "Xu Chenrui has found her, and he will definitely find more things that are not good for you." You need to take care. β
He asked, "What's wrong?" Are you angry? β
Fang Xiaodao: "What am I angry about? Just as an ally, a reminder for you. β
Chu Mingrui knew that it was useless for her to say anything when she was so cold and indifferent, so he sighed and said, "I'll go back and talk about it, I'll go back the day after tomorrow." β
Chu Mingrui really rushed back on the third day. Fang Xiao saw him, but he didn't mention Anna's matter, just packed the luggage he brought back for him. It wasn't until the next morning, when the two were in the car, that she seemed to ask casually: "How much money did you marry Anna?" β
Chu Mingrui smiled: "You finally asked, I thought you would endure it for another day." β
Fang Xiao said: "If you don't want to tell me, forget it." β
Chu Mingrui smiled, and really didn't mention it anymore. Fang Xiao was puzzled, but he couldn't say anything.
Unexpectedly, in the evening, a person who claimed to be Anna's mother called Fang Xiao and Chu Mingrui, and she apologized again and again, saying that due to poor care, she let her daughter leave the United States without permission, which must have disturbed their husband and wife.
This call came so coincidentally that she couldn't help but have a shadow in her heart, after all, she knew almost nothing about Chu Mingrui, and his past was a terrible blank for her. And the world took a turn for the worse, vaguely, she always felt that something was wrong, as if it was her sixth sense, but she didn't know what was wrong.
Business went very well, the Xu family finally calmed down briefly, she didn't know what this calm represented, and she was impetuous, as if something was about to happen, and she couldn't foresee it.
Due to official relations, Chu Mingrui went to Hong Kong. And Fang Xiao went to Yangzhi Building alone to attend the executive meeting.
Now, she often walks from the Yutian Building, where her office is located, across Yangzhi Square to Yangzhi Building.
When she walked such a long way, she could use her slightly free mind to calmly consider her every move after entering the Yangzhi Building.
In the past, in the Yangzhi Building, she was the idol of Fang Xiao, who called for wind and rain, and all the clerks and white-collar workers, and they respected her.
And now, the people below have faintly understood the treacherous situation in the upper echelons. As a result, there is an inexplicable fear in their respect for her, and they have begun to understand that she is a big problem for Xu's related enterprises, and her existence is a threat to the entire Yangzhi Mansion - not a threat, and it is too shallow to describe her as a threat.
Her past achievements in this edifice are a testament to the lethality she has today.
Therefore, Fang Xiao was very attentive to his every move in Yangzhi.
Today, however, there is none. For some reason, her mind was a little disorganized, and the slanting rain made her mind drift even further, so that when she walked into the lobby of Yangzhi, she only thought to herself, "It's been a rainy spring this year." β
The elevator came down, she walked in, there was no one in the elevator, and without thinking, she pressed the floor. The high-speed elevator only took a few seconds to send her to where she was going, making a pleasant bell, the double doors slid open silently, and the bright red letters jumped into her eyes: "Seventeenth Floor, Asset Management", the familiar five big characters, really a thrilling feeling.
She froze, the conference room was on the top floor, what was she doing on the seventeenth floor?
An emotion that she couldn't comprehend lightly permeated her heart, the seventeenth floor, the asset management department, and the chief ......
What a distant thing.
In fact, it was only four or five months ago, but she always felt that time was as far away as in the previous life, and in this lifeβshe was alone, standing in an empty elevator, as if she was alone and helpless.
Closing the elevator again, going up to the top floor, turning down the hallway, the secretary standing in front of the door opened the heavy oak door for her, she walked into the conference room, everyone was already there, so she apologized: "Sorry, I'm a minute late." β
"It's okay." Xu Chenrui's gaze swept over, still without a trace of expression, "Let's start now." β
For the first time, she was distracted in the middle of the meeting. She didn't listen to what others were talking about, but looked at the information in her hand and was stunned.
But she didn't lose her mind for long, and when Xu Chenrui talked about the second point, she successfully pulled back her attention from the nine days of fugue.
Although a little tired, tired?
Yes, she has long been tired of all this. But she had to come back, and she had to stay in this vanity fair.
The long meeting ended after five hours, and after the participants had a working meal in the banquet hall, it was completely dark, and the rain was still dripping, and when they walked out of the Yangzhi Building, the street lamps in the square dyed the glass-like rain into a clear milky white, a little cool, and the meager Chanel suit on her body made her shiver when the wind blew.
The phone rang, and it was the driver of the house, who timidly told her that the car had suddenly broken down.
Broken?
Let her take a taxi back to the distant new sea?
Helpless, she couldn't cry or laugh, turned off the phone, she pulled her short hair, and wanted to walk into the rain, or she really had to find a taxi to go back.
The familiar Mercedes slowly stopped in front of her, the window glass slowly lowered, and he asked, "What?" Hasn't the car come yet? β
"It's broken."
His eyebrows furrowed inadvertently: "You live in Xinhai?" It's not safe at night. Let's get in the car. β
Three sentences, three tones, and the last three words have taken on a commanding tone.
This man is a typical pride of the sky, too accustomed to giving orders, and no one can refuse.
The doors have been opened.
Get in? Still not on?
Xu Chenrui's gaze was very strange, and he said: "If you feel inconvenient, I can ask the driver to send you back first, and then come back to pick me up." β
"No need." She finally got into the car, "It's enough trouble for you." β
The car drove smoothly, she looked out the window without permission, and Xu Chenrui beside her was also silent, this silence made the car have a subtle embarrassment.
Finally, Xu Chenrui asked, "Do you want coffee?" β
She nodded, watched him make instant coffee, took the steaming coffee in her hand, and thanked him.
Xu Chenrui doesn't drink coffee, he mixed a glass of fruit wine for himself.
The coffee was finished, and the car had not yet left the city.
The city on a rainy night is more like a cold spring. She pressed her forehead against the window, her head drowsy, and the tiredness rolled up in waves, and she was so sleepy that she could barely open her eyes.
No, no, she had just had a cup of coffee, and there was no reason to be sleepy, and it was only seven o'clock in the evening, she thought sleepily.
It's just that the eyelids are so heavy that I can't lift them anymore. Can't sleep, can't sleep! She admonished herself. His breathing became longer and longer, his hands and feet became weaker and weaker, and his eyes became heavier and heavier.
Before she knew it, she closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
She woke up in the sound of the pouring rain, and at the moment she woke up, her mind was confused in time and space, thinking that she was in a house on Beiping South Road.
Because Xu Shen is always restless when he sleeps, every time he wakes up, his neck is bound to be pressed by his arms, and he is a little breathless.
However, her consciousness was gradually waking up, and like lightning and thunder, she sat up all at once! It's a completely unfamiliar room!
Where is she? She recalled in a panic that she had fallen asleep in Xu Chenrui's car, but ......
How did it end up here? She was shocked to find that the person next to her pillow was actually Xu Chenrui!
There was a buzz in her head, and it seemed that all the blood was rushing to her head. She grabbed her clothes, her mind still in chaos.
What did she do? How to be here.
No! It's not what she did, but what he did to her. She almost screamed, no! No! It won't be like this!
She woke up Xu Chenrui like crazy, he looked at her worriedly, and suddenly his eyes widened: "Fang Xiao? β
It seemed shocking.
