Chapter 269: A Chance Encounter
In the dead of night, there was no sound, and the huge villa seemed a little empty, the English hanging clock on the wall was quietly swinging, and the moonlight was shining through the window lattice, swaying on the carpet, distorting into mottled light and shadow.
I hugged my laptop, nestled on the sofa on the first floor, and looked at the financial statements sent by Xiao Qing, to be honest, I didn't understand much of the dense numbers at all, but it was the New York itinerary sent to me by Qin Xiaolan, which made me quite excited.
When I think of facing a business trip, I can't worry about Wang Ling the most, not because I'm afraid that she and her ex-boyfriend will resurge, but just a few days after getting married, I'm going to run around, busy with affairs, and I haven't had much time to accompany her.
Thinking of this, I closed the computer, pulled my slippers upstairs, pushed open the bedroom door, and saw that Wang Ling was not in the room, I was a little surprised, suddenly, I faintly heard a burst of singing from the direction of the entertainment room, I pursed my lips and smiled, thinking to myself, she will really be a pastime to relieve boredom.
When I came to the entertainment room, I saw the LED screen on the wall, flashing with colorful pictures, inside was an MTV video, Wang Ling was sitting in front of the song machine, holding a microphone in her hand, and was singing affectionately.
"When the season reaches a certain time, some things cannot be kept no matter how good they are, just like a tree and a leaf have been together for too long and too long, tired of bondage and want to be free."
There was a hint of indifference and indifference on her cheeks, looming in the dim light, and at that moment, I felt that she was a little strange and untouchable.
It's a sad song, when the music stops, the huge entertainment room, only the two of us are looking at each other, only a few steps to take her into my arms, but the distance between me and her seems to be a century away.
She took the microphone and said, "Do you want to sing too?" ”
I smiled bitterly: "I'm not full of five tones, so forget it." ”
I turned my head and glanced at the big screen, only to see that there was another song on it, "Try Everything", which is the theme song of "Zootopia", and it is also a song that I love to listen to, but I don't know anything about English, I just just appreciate the tune, and I don't know the meaning of the lyrics.
But Wang Ling is different, she is studying abroad, her English level is very high, and she comes as soon as she opens her mouth.
The lyrics are: Tonight I messed up, lost again, got stuck but I'll still start over, I've always failed, I've always fallen, and I can always get back up and meet a new future.
I walked over to her and sat down, rested my head on her lap, lifted her blouse, put my ears to my belly, and listened to the wonderful sound.
Wang Ling put down the microphone, pulled my hair and said, "Get up and be stingy." ”
"Don't be angry wife, that Li Hao is not a good bird at first glance, you look at the way he looks at you, his eyes are squinting, and his face is obscene."
I muttered, looking up again, arching into her underwear.
"If you're not lustful, get up."
She pinched my ears and said with a puff.
I sniffled, sat up and said, "Wife, I'm going on a business trip in a few days, don't run around at home, and I'll bring you a gift when I come back." ”
"Where to go? Who to go with? ”
Wang Ling squinted at me, with a hint of confusion on her delicate cheeks.
I put my arm around her shoulders and said, "I'm going to New York, I've got a new source there, and when I get this supplier, I won't have to worry about it in the future." ”
"Who are you going with yet?"
Wang Ling pouted and pinched my nose with her hand.
I lowered my head and whispered, "Go with Qin Xiaolan, she is now my assistant." ”
After Wang Ling heard this, she pushed me away and said, "Why do you want to go with her, a man and a woman, you are abroad, you may want to do something, I don't agree, if you want to go, let Qin Yan and Brother Scumbag accompany you." ”
She blushed and looked at me angrily.
I rubbed her hair and said with a smile: "Qin Yan and Brother Scumbag's English is not good, after all, they are negotiating with people over there, and they are not wandering around, so you should put your heart in your stomach." ”
"I'm not worried, why are there more women and fewer men in your company? You should recruit more male employees during the interview, you are good, you will be hired as soon as you see a beautiful woman, I don't know your little fancy intestines. ”
The more she spoke, the angrier she became, and she threw her fist into my chest.
"You and that Qin Xiaolan, every day, Qin Yan told me, in the company, you are the closest to her, and you still laugh and play from time to time."
She twitched her nose and choked softly.
I scolded in my heart, Qin Li, a bastard, will say everything, but after thinking about it, I only have work contacts with Qin Xiaolan, although there are some ambiguous elements, but between the two of us, there is a deep gap, which is insurmountable on both sides, and it is not what Wang Ling thinks.
"Wife."
I hugged her and said, "If you don't feel at ease, you can go to work in my company after giving birth." ”
"Then what kind of official position do you give me?"
She curled up in my arms, her fingers curling her hair.
I salivated: "You are the boss lady, and you are also my top boss, this right is not small." ”
"Cut, Flim, I don't believe you."
She gave me a blank look, pouted and said, "Kiss me." ”
"That's what you said."
With a wicked smile on my face, I lowered my head and kissed her on the thin lips, pried open the teeth, the kiss was so affectionate that my hand involuntarily groped for her, and finally rested on her button.
"You're crazy, I'm pregnant with a baby."
She grabbed my hand and said breathlessly, with a blush on her face.
It was as if I had been poured cold water, and all my excitement vanished.
Wang Ling saw that I was a little lonely, so she smiled and said, "Husband, I heard that during a woman's pregnancy, a man's chance of cheating is the highest, do you want me to buy one for you..."
She laughed as she spoke, her body shaking in my arms.
I pinched her cheek and said, "You little wit, I don't need that." ”
"Really? How do I feel like you're hungry right now, hehe. ”
She looked up and blinked her beautiful eyes.
I sighed and said, "Normal men are like that, unless they have mental illness." ”
Wang Ling and I talked and laughed until late at night, and she said that she was very hungry, so I cooked two bags of instant noodles and fed her before going to bed.
The next morning, I came to the office, walked into the elevator, and was just about to press the close button when I heard someone shouting, "Wait, wait." ”
The voice was familiar, as if it had awakened a memory buried in my heart, and I stood in the elevator and waited for a moment before I saw a man and a woman running in.
The girl is tall, charming and dignified, wearing a pink casual shirt on her upper body, a pair of light blue cropped pants on her lower body, a pair of white shoes on her feet, her beautiful hair is curled behind her head, her cheeks are flushed with ruddy luster, her beautiful eyes are blinking, and her seductive red lips are shining, which is Xue Xinyan who has not been seen for a long time.
Standing next to her was the spring breeze boy, he seemed to have gained a lot of weight, his face was round, and his clear eyes were also full of happiness.
There was no one else in the elevator, so I pressed the 25th floor, glanced at the spring breeze again, and said, "You two are on the 21st floor, right?" ”
The 21st floor is Du Chenyu's office, Xue Xinyan came to this building, except for Du Chenyu, there are no other acquaintances.
"Yes, thank you."
Chunfeng said with a smile, he held Xue Xinyan's hand, I felt very embarrassed, so I turned around and ignored him.
The air in the elevator was thin and unusually quiet, and only the hum of the hoist moving could be heard.
"How are you doing?"
Xue Xinyan took out the hand held by the spring breeze and asked in a low voice.
I turned around, laughed dryly and said, "It's okay, it's okay, what about you?" ”
"It's still the same."
Xue Xinyan shrugged her shoulders, with a hint of indifference on her cheeks.
I squirmed my Adam's apple, and a lot of words came to my lips, and I swallowed them back raw, only to reply to her, "That's good." ”
Chunfeng glanced at me and said with a smile: "Boss Wang is already happy with your son, right?" ”
"It's almost due date."
I smiled bitterly, peeked at Xue Xinyan, and saw that she was also looking at me in a daze, I hurriedly turned my head away, looking a little flustered.
The elevator door finally opened, and the spring breeze led Xue Xinyan out, and at the end, I stopped Xue Xinyan and said, "Xinyan, that, your car is still with me, I'll send it back to you after maintenance another day." ”
"No need, you can keep it for yourself, it's just a means of transportation."
Xue Xinyan said lightly, every word was very clear, but I couldn't calm down in my heart: "How can it work, I wanted to send it to you before, but I haven't found you." ”
After hearing this, Chunfeng teased: "Don't worry about this problem, Xinyan gave it to you, how can you ask for it back?" ”
I really want to punch him twice, that is a kind of hatred and unwillingness, although I have lost Xinyan, but recalling the past downfall, Xinyan to me can be described as benevolent and righteous, walking in the wind and rain, in that handsome years, hand in hand in the ten-mile long street wandering, I shook my head, irrefutable said: "Absolutely not, the car must be returned." ”
Xue Xinyan smiled helplessly and said, "Okay, you park the car downstairs, and give the key to Brother Du." ”
After saying that, she turned around and walked away, and the spring breeze looked at me and said, "I've never seen you so tough." ”
I ignored him, closed the elevator, and went straight to the 25th floor.
Walking to the service desk, Xiaoli handed me a stack of emails and said, "Mr. Wang, these are contracts, and there are some other materials. ”
I nodded, glancing at the young men next to the desk, who were sitting on the long couch and chatting in low voices.
I was a little surprised: "Who are these people?" ”
"Oh, they're here to apply."
Xiaoli pursed her lips and followed my gaze.
"I didn't have an interview scheduled today."
"It was recruited by Sister Gu Han, and their human resources department is recruiting."
I frowned and said, "Okay, I know, is Zhang Xueyao here?" ”
"Mr. Zhang is on a business trip, and he said that he will be back in five days."
I nodded and went back to the office.
As soon as he sat down, Qin Xiaolan knocked on the door, walked in with a cup of hot coffee and said, "Mr. Wang came very early today." ”
"Is Gu Han here?"
I turned on the computer and glanced at Qin Xiaolan.
"You've been here for a long time, and you've been talking to me for a long time."
I took the coffee, looked at her and said, "What are you talking about?" ”
Qin Xiaolan laughed and said: "You really get to the bottom of it, women get together, what do you say you can talk about?" ”
"Talking about men?"
"."
Qin Xiaolan twisted Linglong's waist, walked to the sofa, sat down and said, "Of course, I talked about makeup and dressing, but I also talked about some things in the company." ”
I was a little curious and asked her, "What's the matter with the company?" ”
"It's the recent expansion of the storefront, as well as the problem of overseas supply."
Qin Xiaolan said disappreciably.
I sighed in my heart, overseas sources are currently the most sensitive topic, in the company is a trade secret, must not be leaked out, if the channel is poached by others, then everything done before, will be abandoned.
I thought for a moment, and said with a wary face, "What did she say?" ”
"I didn't say anything, why are you suspicious today."
Qin Xiaolan spread his hands and said timidly.
I picked up the cup and took a sip of coffee, thinking to myself that I was not the only one who had taken a fancy to overseas sources, and other merchants were also coveting and searching, and if I didn't negotiate early, I was afraid that I would have to dream a lot at night.
"Put everything back, and we'll go to New York tomorrow."
"Don't be in such a hurry, I haven't even booked a plane ticket yet, and I haven't even got a visa or passport."
Qin Xiaolan stood up and looked at me in a daze.
"Then hurry up and do it, we can't delay."
I frowned, feeling unusually depressed.
"Got it, is there anything else?"
Qin Xiaolan glanced at me and asked again.
I bit my nails and whispered, "You go and call Gu Han." ”
"Hmm."
As soon as Qin Xiaolan pushed the door and walked out, Qin Yan squeezed in with a smile on his face.
"Brother, the apartment you rented for us, the environment is really good, the north and south are transparent, that is, spacious, clean, and the most important thing is that it can also cook."
He took out a box of cigarettes from his pocket, threw it on his desk and said, "This cigarette was brought back from Brazil by my classmate, you can taste it." ”
"You and Brother Scumbag moved over?"
I opened the cigarette case, pulled out one, and saw that the filter was black, the same length as a normal cigarette, I took it to the tip of my nose and smelled it, a spicy smell came, I grinned, and stuffed the cigarette back again.
Qin Yan put his hands in his pockets and said, "I moved over, Brother Scumbag is too busy these days to move." ”
"I haven't been to that apartment yet, if there's nothing going on for a while, let's help the scumbag move things over, it shouldn't be a big deal."
I swiped the mouse, casually clicked on a web page, only to see that the screen was covered with colorful patterns, are some advertising information, there are socks, health products, fruits and vegetables, local products, furniture, lamps, etc., I pulled down, there is a place to sell clothing information, after clicking in, I see an e-commerce platform, the clothing styles are complete, the workmanship is exquisite, and the price is low, the comprehensive sales are very high, which aroused my great interest.
Qin Yan came over and said, "Those clothes are all knockoffs. ”
"What?"
I glanced at Qin Yan and felt a little surprised.
Qin Yan shook his head helplessly and said, "Have you ever seen this brand?" ”
He pointed to the clothing brand on the screen and said lightly: "These clothes are all imitations, there are one or two model clothes, you can copy a lot of fakes, and they are all inferior fabrics, and the workmanship is not comparable with the original clothing." ”
"But it's selling well, you see."
I pointed to the monthly sales and felt even more lost.
"That's all written out by someone else, do you really believe it."
I glared at him and muttered, "Then let Zhang Xiaoying also brush up sales." ”
Qin Tong crossed his arms and said, "You don't say that people will brush it, hey." ”
I closed the webpage, and suddenly remembered that Wang Ling told me last night that during a woman's pregnancy, men are the most likely to cheat, so I asked Qin Li in a low voice: "Hey, you said, if my wife is pregnant, buy one, that, that..."
"You mean inflatable dolls."
Qin Yan smiled innocently.
I punched him, feeling my cheeks burn: "You be quiet." ”
Qin Yan said disapprerovingly: "What's so embarrassing about this, it's normal, what's the matter?" Do you want me to order one for you? ”
"Get out, get out."
I laughed and scolded, but Qin Yan said with a face full of grievances: "I really can't see that you are this kind of goods." ”
Gu Han knocked on the door and walked in, Qin Li turned his head and said with a smile: "Good morning beauty, you are so beautiful today." ”
I shifted my attention to Gu Han, she was really eye-catching today, a white crop top, black leggings, beige high heels, and a shawl for her hair, which was beautiful.
She ignored Qin Li's ridicule, just looked at me and said, "Mr. Wang, are you looking for me?" ”
Qin Yan stuck out his tongue and walked out stupidly.
I cleared my throat and motioned for her to sit down and talk.
Gu Han walked to the sofa and sat down, looking at me in a daze.
"There is a question I am curious about, with your qualifications and education, you can go to a large company to join you, why just come to a small company like mine?"
I voiced the doubts in my mind.
Gu Han pursed his lips and smiled and said: "The Tao is different, where I like to work, it is my freedom, everyone's pursuit goals are different, there is no need for Mr. Wang to ask me to explain because of this matter, right?" ”
"Well, I see that you are recruiting employees, why don't you tell me?"
I didn't have anything to say, and there was one mystery after another floating in my heart.
Gu Han stroked his hair and said, "Mr. Wang, I am the head of human resources, and it is also my right to recruit employees, how do I feel that you are weird today?" ”
She looked at me intently, and I was a little embarrassed, so I waved my hand and said, "Okay, I know, you can go out first." ”
After Gu Han left, I lit a cigarette and thought to myself that Gu Han's sudden arrival in the company was no accident, there must be a deeper conspiracy here.
The phone rang, it was Wang Ling calling, and after answering, I heard her shouting hoarsely: "Husband, you, come back quickly, I, I have a stomachache." ”
