Chapter 1: Reunion after a long absence
On Monday morning, Li Muxi parked the car in the basement, picked up the computer bag piled up on the passenger seat and printed out the documents that had not yet had time to bind overnight, and staggered out of the car.
I rushed to the manuscript last night, and it was another big all-nighter, and when the sky was slightly bright, Li Muxi sent all the manuscripts to the assistant's mailbox, and after lying on the bed for a while, he had to get up and dress up and apply the mask.
It wasn't until seven o'clock that she was thirty years old and went out of the house as energetic as she could.
Although it is still difficult to hide his tiredness under the delicate light makeup, after experiencing the traffic jam in the morning, Li Muxi has already adjusted his state and is ready to enter the high-load work operation.
"Ding"
There was a picture on the mobile phone, Li Muxi thought that the cover of the new book had been done on the other side, and took out one hand to look at the mobile phone, but it turned out to be a special theme film of the magazine sent by the photographer in the group, and she didn't notice the black car slowly driving around the corner while walking.
The car on the opposite side did not honk, and when she saw that she was staring at her mobile phone, she stopped in place in a good temper, waiting for Li Muxi to crash into it.
Sure enough, Li Muxi's footsteps hurriedly hit the front of the car, and the things in his hands were scattered all over the ground.
She hurriedly crouched down and picked up things amid the muffled sound of the other party's engine, while secretly congratulating herself on meeting the good-natured car owner.
In this super commercial center where every inch of land is valuable, in the large land library shared by the four surrounding office buildings, any vehicle entering and exiting is the master of time as a life, and the car parked on the opposite side at this moment neither honked nor opened the window to reprimand, just quietly stepped on the brakes and waited in place, which couldn't help but make Li Muxi more embarrassed.
Cheng Shan called again at this time......
"Grandma, this set of photos just sent is not good, it is far from the effect I expected."
Cheng Shan's tone was anxious.
"Well, I just received it, and I'm looking at it, it's not satisfactory."
Li Muxi tilted his head and held the phone between his shoulders, while using his free hands to clean up the things on the ground.
"It's not unsatisfactory, this anniversary special issue of Zhou Zhou requires excellence, after all, this is the first year that "Thorn Bush" has just been rated as one of the three major journals."
Cheng Shan chattered on the other end of the phone, as the art director of "City Thorn Bush" magazine, he is always as critical of his work as he is about women.
"So what?"
Mu Xi stroked back his smoothed hair and rolled his eyes, "This photographer was signed by yourself, and it is expensive to die, you want me to say that you have a problem with your vision now?" ”
"Not really."
Cheng Shan hurriedly denied, "Don't doubt my professional vision at any time, I just feel that the sea has been difficult to water, you know, I shouldn't have gone to see that photography exhibition on the weekend." ”
......
"What a mess, I still have something to do, I'll go up and tell you again."
Li Muxi hung up the phone without letting him say more, she quickly stacked the information on the laptop, and stuffed the cosmetics, USB flash drives, pens and wallets scattered on the ground in the bag back into the bag one by one by the car lights a few miles away, and a pack of tadded rolled to the inside of the front wheel of the car.
She had no choice but to stand up, smile and wave back at the person in the car, motioning for him to move the car back.
However, the car stopped in place, and the engine still vibrating quietly proved that the car had not turned off.
Li Muxi walked to the window of the cab and knocked on the glass, intending to apologize and ask the other party to raise her noble hand and let go of the sanitary napkin she had just bought.
Through the dark black glass, she can barely see the side silhouette of the person in the car, it should be a man, holding a mobile phone and talking on the phone, although she can't see her facial features clearly, but it is not difficult to see that the appearance should be extremely high.
It's not appropriate to disturb someone on the phone, but after measuring the distance from here to the convenience store, it is obviously more efficient to wait for him to finish the call.
Li Muxi raised her hand and looked at her watch, at seven fifty-three o'clock, there was still a meeting to open at half past eight, and the materials had not had time to be sorted out, when she was standing beside the car with something in her arms, Cheng Shan suddenly rushed out from behind.
"Why did you hang me up before I finished speaking!"
He clasped his hands on his chest, looking like a teacher asking for sin.
Mu Xi saw that Cheng Shan, who had always paid attention to clothing, was even rubbed the bow tie on his chest because he was angry, so he hurriedly freed up a hand to help him tidy up the bow tie, stroked the folds on the shirt on his chest, and said, "Mr. Cheng, don't be angry, I don't have something to do, and I didn't mean it." ”
"Something?"
Cheng Shan turned his head suspiciously to look at the shiny new car parked aside, and then looked at Li Muxi, who was slightly embarrassed, and said with wide eyes: "You were hit by a car?" ”
"yes, I don't ...... it."
Before he finished speaking, Cheng Shan rolled up his sleeves, twisted his two-foot-one waist, and slammed the glass when he rushed up.
"You come out for me to make it clear, don't hide in it if you hit someone, pretend to be a grandson for my uncle!"
"Ancestor, ancestor, don't knock!"
Mu Xi hurriedly went up to stop him, "Blame me, blame me, blame me, it's me who didn't pay attention." ”
Cheng Shan withdrew his hand, looked Li Muxi up and down, pulled her arm, and turned her around, saying, "Where did you hit it, do you need to go to the hospital?" ”
Before Mu Xi could open his mouth, the engine of the car suddenly roared.
Before the two could react, the brake lights dimmed and flew away, leaving only a small packet of pink tampons alone in place.
