CHAPTER XXIX
Almost the whole morning, Tang Zheya didn't have the heart to calm down and work, she just sat down for a while, then got up again, circled around the desk, stood quietly for a few seconds, and then walked to the window again, looking down.
A red sports car nimbly shuttled through the parking lot of the open space of Kairan Plaza, and she blinked, and sure enough, it was Bill.
"Oops!" She patted her forehead lightly, forgetting to make an appointment with Bill to hand over Haotian's last materials.
Turning back and pulling the inside of the curtain, just to block the dazzling light, but not to affect the lighting, puffed out his mouth, took a long breath, and finally sat down to organize the materials.
Half an hour passed, she forgot about her work, raised her wrist to see, it had been half an hour, and Bill hadn't even come up?
Maybe she was dragged by someone from which department to go home, she smiled and shook her head, and buried her head in work.
The desk phone rings at the right time.
"Miss Tang, are you busy?"
"Oh, it's Mr. Yin, hello, um... It's okay now. She smiled, closed the materials in her hand, and gave a quick touch.
"I think Bill should have told you, today at noon, there is a party in Haotian, you better attend."
Tang Zheya raised her eyebrows in surprise, "Huh? Want me to participate? β
Yin Boran smiled confidently, with a hint of temptation, "Oh? I think you should care about government procurementγγγγγ β
"Yes!" Tang Zheya immediately replied.
Yin Boran raised his eyebrows appreciatively and snapped his fingers, "Some time ago, I heard you mention this idea, it just so happened that Jinkong held a feast in Haotian at noon, and a few government dignitaries who came happened to be able to get on the side." β
She smiled slightly, Yin Boran must be humble, and he can strive for government procurement, which is a very good start, and his influence will be greatly expanded.
"Okay, what time is it?"
"It's about twelve o'clock, there is no special arrangement for lunch, it's Haotian's buffet, I'll take you to try on the dress first." Yin Boran thought about the answer.
"Good γγγγγ"
"Hmm."
"Whoa! Wait a minute.. β
"Huh?" Yin Boran vaguely heard her voice, thought about it, and politely picked it up again.
And Tang Zheya didn't grasp that he heard his fragile voice at the moment he hung up.
"That's right, I want to ask, what time does the banquet end?" Her voice was a little erratic, there was no wind, but they were scattered and scattered.
"Are you okay?" Yin Boran frowned, such a good opportunity, she actually γγγγγ
"I'm sorry, maybe there may be something personal, but ... It has not yet been finalized. She smiled apologetically, her voice already hesitant.
Yin Boran was about to answer, when suddenly there was a violent knock on the door from Tang Zheya's side, followed by Bill's angry voice
"Lianxin, you actually asked your sister to withdraw such a large amount of sharesγγγγγ" At this point, the voice is cut off.
He thoughtfully put down the phone, sat down, and tapped lightly on the table.
Then he tightened his brows, it seems that Tang Jingrong's plan this time is very thorough, there is no resistance, everything is accurate, a woman with no shopping mall experience can grasp the opportunity step by step, ring by ring, the mystery of this, it is really ridiculous, it is love.
The back road is all laid out, and she can let go at any time.
It's just that the closer he gets, the joy of this expectation, why has it changed a little, Tang Zheya's indifferent and distant but incomparably clear gaze flashed in his mind, he clenched his fist, waved his hand, and the document on half of his right hand suddenly flew into the sky, and it was a mess.
β»
Tang Zheya leaned over to sort out the information that was scattered by Bill's anger, and said nothing, bowing his head to listen to Bill's complaints and accusations.
When she had put everything back in place, Bill finally stopped, and he approached, grabbed her hands, which were still busy, and forced her to look up.
"Lotus Heart, don't be blinded by your heart! He simply doesn't deserve it! β
"Bill, it's a foregone conclusion, don't say it again." She stubbornly turned her head.
"You'll regret it!"
Under Bill's anger, she raised her head again without stage fright, and the eyes that had been concealed were clear at this time, and she couldn't forget it to the end, like a deep ancient well, unchanged for thousands of years, existing, and going through to the end.
"I can't help it, Bill, even if I ask for 50% of Kairan's shares, I'll give it to him too!"
"You γγγγγ"
She then shook her head bitterly, her eyes moist, "Bill, I envy Xiaorong, he can have such courage, such power, and such freedom." β
Bill's anger seemed to be completely extinguished by this clear spring, and in an instant, only pity and understanding remained.
"All along, I have been given too much, God, maybe fair, I and him, destined not to be a wall and vine relationship, I have no choice, opposite him, side by side with him, not together."
"Oh, Lotus Heart." Bill sighed sadly, and hugged her tightly in his arms, this thin little man in his arms could bring him so much sorrow, stronger than his life experience, he didn't even want to, complain about his father's abandonment of him, complain about his lonely childhood, and condense great sorrow on her.
"Bill, I'm not strong enough, it's been ten years, and I haven't done enough."
"No, no, Lianxin, I know, I've always seen it, your efforts."
"Bill, just this once, just this once, one last time." She stared at her godless eyes and kept murmuring, and her heart was violently intertwined with contradictions.
"I believe it."
He gently comforted her ear, Lianxin, really only once, I really believe that how deep the love is, it must be made up for with the same sadness and despair, is this what you Chinese say to fight poison with poison? There is no one around you who is your lover, and I am not counted, so just pick one who has no ability to hurt you again.
β»
As soon as Yin Boran arrived at the door of Qingxi, he saw that Lan Yi had also just stopped on the side of the road.
"You're doing this today." Yin Boran snapped his fingers, very satisfied with Tang Zheya's outfit today.
The hair is pulled up high, specially loosened, forming a round arc on the top of the head, the slender neck, only two sui hair slip out, with the retro elegant style, specially permed, just to the chest position.
A slim black dress, silky down, restrained and elegant, quiet and unspeakable.
"Hmm... He approached, stroked his chin with one hand, and circled her twice, his gaze resting on the mature V-neckline.
Tang Zheya pulled the fabric on his shoulder, and she only went to the position of his shoulder, so it was indeed a little indecent for him to look down from a high place.
"Okay, that's it."
When the two went out, Yin Boran directly invited Tang Zheya to get in the car and he was the driver.
Tang Zheya nodded in agreement, this dress should indeed sit in the back seat, wait for the gentleman to open the door, and then enter the banquet.
"Mr. Yin, this is γγγγγ" Tang Zheya got up slightly, this road should not go to Haotian.
He only smiled when he turned around, and then the steering wheel made a flexible circle, and the car made a beautiful arc, and stopped at a rather imposing jewelry store.
Tang Zheya carefully pulled her skirt and got out of the car, holding Yin Boran and walking up the stairs.
"Does Mr. Yin need to buy something for his sweetheart?" She couldn't help but guess.
"Let's take a look first."
Immediately, he refused the warm service of Miss Yigan, and personally looked carefully at one counter after another, dazzling, under the reflection of the special lights of the jewelry store, it made people even more dizzy, Tang Zheya saw half of it, and almost straightened up, only silently following him.
The line of sight is just opposite the booth, are some large pieces of precious jewelry, all kinds of colors, various varieties, a variety of styles, there is a big artistic word, eye-catching marking of the glow flying in the sky. Cheng Huang Cheng Huang, dotted with stars, scorching and dazzling, her eyes shook a little, indeed very beautiful, stretching upwards slender hairpins like claws, like a pair of huge wings, not like the general style on the market, like butterflies, stretching from the head to both sides, but like holding the head with both hands, to the head, getting bigger and bigger, forming a small cross, clear yellow with a little blue, like the sunset and night in the junction, or the blue of the oriental fish white and the rising sunset, The interweaving of the boundaries of two very different visions, like pain and pleasure stretching together, it can be dawn or darkness.
Who designed it? Was it so ingenious, or was she overthinking? Just pursed her lips and smiled, shaking her head slightly, suddenly there was a coolness around her neck and V-neck, she couldn't help but tremble, and Yin Boran chuckled in her ears
"Well, it looks good." He let go of the hand on the back of her neck, turned to the opposite of her, and nodded appreciatively to her confused eyes.
Tang Zheya lowered her head and picked up the pebble-sold, crystal clear sapphire hanging on her chest and said in surprise, "This is for me?" β
"Yes, I felt that something was missing in the store just now, and it seems that there is nothing wrong, it is very flattering to you." He turned his head and said back, took the signing slip from the clerk's hand, waved down his business card, and took back his gold card in a chic manner.
And she, because she was distracted, didn't even see the price clearly.
"Mr. Yin, I should pay for it!" When she walked out of the store, she gently grabbed Yin Boran with her eyes persistent.
"Don't feel like you owe me a favor." He shook his finger and led her down the stairs carefully.
"We've been working together for so long, and we've worked together happily, a little piece of jewelry, and nothing."
"Mr. Yin, I can't accept your kindness, not to mention, I should thank you for today's entertainment."
He pulled down her hand that was untying the necklace at the back of her neck, and his eyes darkened, "It's just a little bit of my mind, in fact, a man wants to give a woman something, it's a very normal thing, if you insist on returning it, I'll think... I have been a failure. β
Tang Zheya's hand did not stop, but it was obviously stiff, and then he put it down dejectedly, and only bowed his head and said, "Let's go." β
The arrival of Yin Boran and Tang Zheya made the whole party atmosphere warm up suddenly, Yin Boran deserves to be an excellent communication master, every move, smile and face, are all demeanor, which makes people feel very comfortable, and feel that he is unfathomable, and all around him are admiring eyes.
Tang Zheya and her acquaintances clinked glasses and talked softly, which also complemented each other.
"Miss Tang!"
She smiled warmly at Yin Boran, clinked glasses with her friend again, withdrew apologetically, slowly approached elegantly, handed her hand to Yin Boran, and gently held it in his wrist.
"Miss Tang, let me introduce, this is Director Li of the Municipal Logistics Office, and this is Mrs. Li." Then he briefly introduced Tang Zheya.
"Hello, Director Li, Mrs. Li." She greeted them familiarly, neither humble nor arrogant, and soon won the favor of Director Li and his wife.
Obviously, Yin Boran is very familiar with them, Director Li squinted his eyes, held up his smooth round beer belly, and said happily, "Miss Tang is our Linchuan man of the hour, and the recent project is booming, I didn't expect to meet so young, it's really terrifying, it's terrifying." β
"Director Li, you're too polite."
"Miss Tang, your clothes are really beautiful, where are they ordered? Was it shipped back from abroad? Mrs. Li's eyes swept Tang Zheya's exquisitely made dress, and her eyes were a little glowing.
"Where, Mrs. Li, if you like it, I'll ask the secretary to take you to order a few."
Tang Zheya and Mrs. Li were noisy, the first time they met, it was just a small banquet, she only needed to leave a good impression this time.
Immediately, Mrs. Li praised Tang Zheya's hair and jewelry, Tang Zheya understood it and smiled at Yin Boran.
It just so happened that Director Li met an acquaintance, and Yin Boran took Tang Zheya to meet several business and political dignitaries in a row, although it may not be directly connected with Kairan's business, but the business environment in Linchuan has allowed Tang Zheya to touch some ways, and there is no place, the biological chain, one after another, is so compact and tight, like an intricate net, this kind of entertainment, has become very meaningful and valuable.
She couldn't help but feel that Yan Zhuoyu was right, Linchuan has its own development model, and she still needs to learn too much if she wants to fully integrate into it.
"Are you tired?"
She shook her head, smiled gratefully, and looked at her watch habitually.
"Is the afternoon's event decided?" Yin Boran handed her a food plate and said thoughtfully.
She lowered her head and picked up the dishes, and said softly, "Don't worry, it'll be better later." β
They discussed the cooperation case again, and there was a meal without a match, and from time to time someone came over to make friends, and it was just a buffet, and they ate for an hour.
During the day, this free-style party, always a group of people come, from time to time someone wants to leave, to the door, then see the regular customers, this kind of long lunch-style leisurely party, so that Tang Zheya feels a little novel, plus the people who come today, all of them are not small, she is happy to accompany her.
"Miss Tang, you are the one I admire the most among the women I work with." In the middle of the afternoon, after no one came, Yin Boran stole the air and did not forget to praise Tang Zheya.
"Mr. Yin, do you want me to owe you another lip service?" She smiled a little bent, and her fluffy hair, which hung down uninhibitedly, was even softer.
He leaned over and reached out to pick one up and gently pushed it behind her ear.
Tang Zheya took two steps back, smiled shyly, took his long curly hair in his hand, and straightened it out, "It seems that the stylist skills recommended by Mr. Yin still need to be refined." β
He smiled lowly, withdrew his hand, and only sighed at the appearance of her little daughter's house, pretending that people couldn't find a flaw, but in the end he only sighed, why did he want to see so clearly and so thoroughly.
In the middle of the afternoon of late autumn, time passed so quickly, the twilight sank, the more her eyes drifted more frequently, and her attention was not as concentrated as before, by the banquet of the sky, it was slowly replaced with crystal lamps, softly scattered in every corner, approaching the window, the road opposite Haotian, the positive and negative traffic was becoming more and more obvious, it was close to the rush hour, the traffic was moving slowly, and the lights were flashing, even though the horn could not be heard, but the noisy scene was as if it was right next to him, and there was a zebra crossing not far ahead, A group of students in blue and white uniforms crossed the road in groups, frolicking and playing, completely ignoring the surrounding vehicles.
She retracted her eyes, pulled back the curtains, and as soon as she turned around, she touched Yin Boran's chest, and a faint smell of wine came with a hint of oppression.
She hurriedly put down the wine glass, motioned to the waiter on the side to come over, and replaced the tea with the remaining half of the red wine in his hand, she frowned, she has studied wine all the year round in Haotian, this is a very high concentration of pure wine, specially transported back from the United Kingdom, one of the few.
Yin Boran cooperated and took a sip of hot tea, but seemed to be burned to his tongue and shook his head.
"Mr. Yin, the stamina of this wine is very strong, you can't drink it anymore, I'll help you to the side to rest."
She saw the drunk Yin Boran hanging diagonally on the sofa, laughing at herself, she could always meet drunk people everywhere.
After taking the hot towel from the waiter, she leaned over to wipe his forehead for him, and the waiter saw that she was so skilled, so he simply stood aside and waited to see if there was anything he needed help with.
She used to be the general manager of Haotian, even if Bill took over, but Linchuan, she would have taken care of it somewhat, this time, she benefited a lot, if it wasn't for accompanying her, Yin Boran should have left, she knew how to be grateful, not to mention, she looked down at the necklace around her neck, and took other people's hands short.
Yin Boran looked at Tang Zheya hazy and was busy for him, he really underestimated Haotian's wine, and ignored the waiter's reminder to drink a few glasses.
Tang Zheya's attentive face made him a little unbearable to look sideways, so he simply closed his eyes.
"Alright, let's bring a glass of warm water." She sighed, handed the towel to the waiter, and explained.
Sit down beside him, put your arms around his head, and put water to his lips, "Come, drink some water, it will be better." β
"Oh shit, I want to go and smash the sake cellar."
Tang Zheya sneered, my aunt is a treasure in her little wine cellar, knowing that someone said this, she would definitely jump up and fight with him.
Someone opened the curtains wide, there was only the last trace of afterglow left in the sky, she looked at the increasingly heavy sky, her heart was extremely knotted, no, she shouldn't go, this is the last time, she can no longer indulge herself like this, they will be a family immediately, she jumped into her sister, between the walls, built the Great Wall, you can't see the head, you can't see the tail, the twists and turns, continuous.
Thinking like this, she even ignored Yin Boran when he slipped into her arms.
He shouted a confused name in his mouth, grabbed her hand and put it on his face and rubbed it gently, all of which was recorded.
He, maybe gone, so late, he must be gone, he has never been patient, she has always been the only one waiting for him, and he has to see his bad face.
But at that time, she was so satisfied, willingly, like this, squatting at the gate of the campus, holding her chin to look at the clouds in the sky, if it was a cloudy day, she would draw circles on the ground alone, and from time to time she looked up and swept around in confusion. At that time, I never complained, I didn't know what to complain about.
As it is now, dumbfounded, watching the sky get darker and darker.
"Mr. Yin, I'm sorry, borrow your car."
She kept shuttling in the crowded traffic, Yin Boran's van heavy sports car was obviously not suitable for such flexible movement, she was both expectant and calm, rushing over like this was just to complete one of her own tasks, he was not there, it didn't matter.
But she was obviously anxious, the temperature in the car was controlled at a comfortable temperature, but there was still a slight sweat on her forehead, and the hand holding the steering wheel was also a little slippery.
Until entering Linyi Road, because it is in the opposite direction, the road is smooth, only to meet 3322 scattered students coming out of it, she turned out of the road, from the side of the long school wall to drive, only a corner not far away, then saw Yan Zhuoyu's slender figure from the opposite side of the school gate under the tree walked out, tired, looked around, she subconsciously lowered her head, and saw that he seemed to throw away the cigarette butt in his hand, raised his foot and stepped on it hard, then got into the car, vigorously closed the door, the car turned rudely, causing a sharp brake sound, Her heart raced at her, she opened her mouth, raised her hand and touched the window, and watched him pass by, leaving a vague shadow.
She felt for no reason, and felt that this miss seemed to be eternal.
Got out of the car, she walked all the way along the school wall, holding on to the red bricks of some long time, walking slowly, this road, she walked countless times, even if she didn't come back for ten years, countless memories left here, they all came up, from time to time there were students looking at her strangely, a woman in a high-end tailoring night banquet dress, bowed her head and walked slowly, when she returned to the campus gate, she stood still, and walked back again.
When she finished walking slowly, it was already dark, and there was a sudden silence near the school, and faintly, suddenly there was a bell, she was a little confused, looked around, and after a while she realized that the sound came from the car.
She just ran back, opened the car door, and picked up the microphone while the last sound didn't stop.
"Miss Tang, where are you?" Yin Boran's voice was very worried, and as soon as he woke up, he learned that Tang Zheya had taken his key and ran away in a hurry.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Yin, I'll be back right now, are you still in Haotian?"
"Yes, I'm not used to other cars." He heard the depression in her words and said humorously.
Tang Zheya chuckled, "Okay, you wait for me." β
