Chapter 22: Brother and Sister Chance (4)

Chen Ran

Today is a good day for me, although I didn't think so.

The negotiation with the M company is very difficult, I have long heard that the company's Li is always a treacherous master, but it is better to see than to hear, under his insistence, relying on the advantage of exclusive raw materials, the M company is willing to sign the contract only after the high price of the previous price doubled, which really gave us a big problem. After discussing with Guo Kai, I also had to make concessions, which was a passive negotiation for Kai Kai.

When everyone thought that we would have to accept the strange goods of Company M, Li Yueer brought exciting good news. It turns out that Company M has faced the risk of debt repayment, internal liquidity has dried up, bank creditors are forced to come to the door, no wonder it has to resist the price to be doubled, according to the usual payment method, 30% of the advance payment is enough to alleviate its urgent need, from this point of view, this Mr. Li is not a mouthful, no wonder no matter what, it can be seen that the pressure of repaying the loan is not trivial.

Well, if you fight a snake, you have to hit seven inches, knowing the other party's death hole, Yu Kai said that he had won the battle. After I communicated with Guo Kai, I temporarily decided to adopt the strategy of changing the payment method to strive for the best price, and successfully reached a cooperation intention with M company, and achieved a win-win outcome, but this Li always got cheap and sold well, solved the problem of funds and wanted to eat us at a high price of fifty percent, it was really a little shameful, but in the end, I had a convergence in my beating and gave us the ideal price, but this person was repeated and insatiable, and he had to be extra careful in dealing with him in the future.

But today's victory undoubtedly lies in the key news brought by Li Yueer, and it is not an exaggeration to say that she is a hero, although she tried her best to say that it was a coincidence, but as I said, the changes in the world are often in this word of chance. I glanced at her as I said this, and it seemed that she was not aware. In fact, what I want to tell her is that I and her are not a coincidence?

The dreams I had, the distance between me and Xiaojuan, the danger of Kairan, my return, every step seems to guide my encounter with her, and the mole on her neck, as well as the shadow under the emerald long skirt, have finally become a lingering bond in my mind, growing and multiplying in the contradiction of impulsiveness and restraint day after day, gradually converging, at this moment with her in the same car to talk about dust, who knows before, in the visible and invisible time and space, how many old things have been crushed by the wheel of time? These many opportunities have been revealed and sublimated by echoing and confirming each other in the unknown search and waiting, and I just follow this trend.

Every encounter in the human world is actually a catastrophe, otherwise the Buddha would not say that it took 500 times to look back in the previous life in exchange for a passing shoulder in this life, but the world sees it every day, and does not understand the vicissitudes behind it, but is accustomed to it. I looked at Li Yue'er sitting behind me, her silhouette was leisurely dusty in the wind and dew, there was a delicate red pale pink glow looming on her cheeks, and Yang Xi's movement made her as quiet as a fairy and graceful, I couldn't help but lose my mind.

smiled helplessly, turned his head, if one day, I could tell her like this, what a blessing, but this day, it also needs chance, chance, in fact, it needs to be a coincidence.

It's past the end of work when I returned to the company, and I wanted to drop by to send Yue'er home, after all, I live next to her, which is the best excuse. But since Yue'er's car accident, even though I have decided to go to her fearlessly, I have to consider Yue'er, whether she can bear and burden such a heart, I am so old as her, and there are marital constraints and shackles of reality, but she is the heart of a young girl, her beautiful life has just begun, if I am hurt, I would rather she not know, with her original trajectory growth and march. I once saw a passage, "Love is to give her happiness, love is to endure for a long time", I think, for Yue'er, I should be even more so.

So I didn't get too close to her, I just silently existed by her side as a boss. Occasionally, there is a hint of sadness and helplessness, but nine times out of ten, things in life are not as good as they should be, and I have long understood that it is too difficult to hope for the perfection of the world. Over the years, I have seen too many flashy worlds in the gathering and parting, and what I have or what I don't have has gradually become distant.

It's like sitting in the car at this time, looking at Li Yue'er who walked out of the company from a distance, even if she was the only one, I didn't step forward. On the steep streets of the winter night, the cars, horses, and pedestrians are all coated with a layer of shrunken ash, and occasionally a few dry fallen leaves float down lightly, and they are carried by the wind before they reach the ground. The sky was very overcast, and there was a faint sound of dry thunder, which seemed to be wrapped in clouds and exploded in a very distant place, and the momentum was already much weaker. I drove the car out of the garage and didn't move forward, quietly leaning on the side of the road, lighting a cigarette, letting the slight smoke of tobacco dispel my long-suppressed impulses, as if the world was only abbreviated into the picture in my eyes, and Li Yue'er was always out of my sight in the traffic.

The rain, but Ai Ai finally fell in shame, and after being contaminated with all things in the world, it gradually became rain, and there was no intention of stopping. Pedestrians hurried by, running or hiding, rolling with wind and dust, just to find a place to hide. I saw Li Yue'er looking up at the sky, her steps were difficult, there was nothing in her hand except for her bag, the rain was dripping, it seemed to wet her trouser legs, she let go inside, but accidentally bumped into the pedestrian behind her, and had to return to the door of the company in a panic of embarrassment and apology. I narrowed my eyes, spat out a deep puff of cigarette, and without hesitation, threw away the cigarette butt, started the car, and drove in her direction.

It's not that I'm not nervous, when I told her to send her home, what would happen to herself if she refused. But she only stopped for a while, and hurried into the car without refusing, and I felt a burst of happiness from the bottom of my heart, as if the rain had also become gratifying, and fulfilled my journey with her.

Then the exchange gradually got better, and when we inadvertently talked about chance, we were surprised to find that we were all obsessed with the discussion of such a life problem, and this is not another kind of chance? I was so excited by this realization that I couldn't wait for the wheels to pour out what I was thinking. I didn't know which year of the monkey at such a time, but I never thought that today, on the same day that our negotiations were successful, fate, it is really a wonderful thing!

Those words came out in such joy and excitement, "Xiao Li, if you think you can treat me as a friend, then this is the exchange between friends, if I am a little more cheeky, relying on the false growth of your age, you will be called a big brother, then it will be my luck."

How would I describe the mood at this time? I don't know, I just know that this is an adventure, betting on the future of me and Yue'er, whether we are still so self-contained and self-contained, or whether we are internalized in the heart and externalized in the form. I have a feeling that today, right now, her answer will determine where we go from now on.

I had a natural smile on my face, as if I was just casually saying a word, but only I understood that my body was trembling slightly from the tension, and the arm holding the steering wheel gradually became numb, and spread down my elbow with sourness, but I did not dare to move, for fear that a small movement would deform the answer she was about to come out of.

The sound of rain is like a note, and occasionally there is a bright electric light in the distant sky, which startles people's eyelids. I prayed in my heart that the noise of heaven and earth could be quiet for a moment, and that I would not add fuel to the fire and exaggerate the anxiety at this moment. Even if I hid a seven-foot man, I couldn't help but feel a little shaken.

If "friends" can still be reluctantly accepted, "big brother" understands that it is not an ordinary relationship. I began to frustrate in the unbearable silence in the car, what happened to me today? Why are you so impulsive, didn't you say not to disturb Yue'er's life? The affection for the other person is not good at all, but only adds to each other's troubles. She is still so young, her life should be bright and spotless, but I have been pushed into such a complex predicament, for a simple girl who has not been deeply involved in the world, it is extremely strange to call out "big brother" to her married male boss who has few relationships, even if she is not indifferent to me, but this indifference is the most indefinite, it can be a gratitude for my care, it can be a recognition of me as a boss, and it can even feel that I am like a father and a brother, but it is impossible, It's just as much affection I have for her.

Alas, I am indeed reckless today, even if I really want to have a delicate and introverted girl like Yue'er, who is as quiet as water, I should follow the opportunity to walk slowly, why did I forget the big truth I talked about? It seems that I am nothing more than a "giant of theory and a dwarf of action". What's more, my motivation is really just to have a brother-sister relationship?

It seemed like a century had passed, and the suffocating silence had kept me for years, and I had begun to think about what to say to ease each other's embarrassment and embarrassment. Before the opportunity comes, things will not be done, take advantage of the trend, the ancestors have long said, but I have forgotten this most simple truth. That's it, Chen Ran, you brought it on yourself, you take the blame, understand? It was supposed to be a good thing, but it seems that you messed it up.

"Brother Chen", there is a voice, as if it has spanned thousands of years, and it is long overdue. For the first few seconds, I felt like I was hallucinating, a beautiful voice, and I felt like I was in a different world. It wasn't until the sentence "Thank you for looking up to me so much" floated again that I slowly turned my head, and the blue man in front of me, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and a little red on his face, looked at me like a frosty apricot blossom after the rain. I forgot to answer for a while, I didn't know what to say, happiness came too suddenly, and when I was already dying and about to sink, Yue'er called and saved me.

The night rain is singing for me, and there seem to be large patches of colorful flowers blooming in front of me, instantly melting away the gray and coldness of the winter night, and the warm current is swimming in my body, boiling in the blood and bubbling power. I am the only child in the family, I have never played the role of the eldest brother in my life, from now on, in addition to the identity of the work, I will begin to have another new responsibility for Yue'er, which is an unprecedented sense of responsibility and mission, when Yue'er shouted out the "Brother Chen", I suddenly felt that even if I can only become a brother and sister with a different surname in this life, I am willing to have no regrets.

When passing by S Square, I subconsciously looked out of the car, the signboard of "Zhang Ji Iron Plate Squid" was still brightly lit in the wind and rain, I didn't think much about it, I parked the car on the side of the road with a sudden brake, and I didn't have time to explain to Yue'er and got out of the car and rushed into the rain curtain, the rain wet my whole body, but I didn't realize it, I only remembered in my mind that Yang Xi said that the iron plate squid was Yue'er's favorite, and Yue'er said that after leaving Y City, I couldn't taste the taste of the university, and this Zhang Ji, I tried, the boss is a northerner, with an authentic hometown flavor.

Only affection and trust can't be disappointed, in a hurry, I have already wanted to distinguish and forget to speak, just take Yue'er's unforgettable heart to talk about it, although I know that this is far from enough. From now on, as long as I can, I am willing to give her.

When I handed the sizzling squid to Yue'er, I actually noticed that her eyes were full of tears. There was a sigh in her heart, but the total of six strings of squid was only twenty yuan, but in exchange for her being so excited, thinking that she received too little care on weekdays, a little thing could make her cry. Chen Ran, cherish her, take care of her, there are many, many more things you have to do.

Yes, eldest brother is like a father, I am willing to spend my whole life guarding her, as long as she needs it.

Yue'er also said that she would give me a meeting gift next time, I laughed at her silly girl in my heart, took a deep breath, and said softly, "Silly girl, your tears are the best gift for me." ”

I don't know if she heard, but it didn't matter anymore.

The important thing is that I will always remember today, January 20, 20**, when I began to walk into Li Yueer's life in a real sense.
