After hanging up Zeng Ziqian's phone, I was still a little lost, this loss came from the unwillingness to this relationship, but I also understood that many choices in our lives cannot be compromised, and the real problem in front of us is the economic problem.

After thinking about it all night, I decided to pick up my old business again, thinking about being called a "heroine among women", I could only laugh at myself, after all, any choice has to pay a price, but I don't regret it, because Lele, I am braver than before.

Xiaobai heard me say that I want to work again, and I strongly objected, in her eyes, it is already a very hard thing to take care of children, but Xiaobai also knows that my balance is insufficient, at this moment, I don't want to have too much financial involvement with Zeng Ziqian, besides, I am still very confident in my professional level, if you are Yakult, hard work is there, and it is not a problem.

Xiaobai saw that I was sincere, so he handed me the advertisement of a domestic coffee brand, and learned that Zhou Hengyi accompanied me in the hospital all night when Lele was burned, and was immediately surprised, and said, "No, that nervous old man?" ”

I nodded, and suddenly thought of the wife and son mentioned by Zhou Hengyi, so I gossiped with Xiaobai, and then heard her say: "I have heard about this, it is said that a family of three went to travel and had an accident, and the children and wife were gone." ”

My heart tightened, thinking about Zhou Hengyi's mention of his wife and children, and suddenly felt pity, but I heard Xiaobai say: "Let me tell you, Mr. Zhou is a typical iron-faced selfless, listening to his assistant, in general, at high-level meetings, he only says three words at most, first, start, second, don't pass, third, end." It's too tiring to say one more word, but with this kind of big temper, no one dares to say one more word. ”

"So serious?"

"So, I guess I looked at you orphans and widows, and when I thought of my wife and children, my compassion overflowed."

Sure enough, Xiaobai's prejudice against Mr. Zhou is not ordinary, maybe because of this prejudice, she didn't even notice the small details of Mr. Zhou's excuse to go to her house to pick up things.

Because of Lele's scalding problem, my work can basically be carried out after he falls asleep, but fortunately, the work assigned by Xiaobai is not difficult, and it is not difficult to complete.

The next day is the weekend, it's rare that Xiaobai is also free, come over in the morning to help bring Lele, my time is much more relaxed, at this time the phone rang, pick it up and take a look, and suddenly startled.

Because it was Zhou Hengyi who called.

I winked at Xiaobai, and then answered the phone.

"Mr. Zhou, hello."

"Hello," Zhou Hengyi's voice was a typical hoarse voice of a middle-aged man, "That's the case, what concept did you tell me about an advertising scientist last time, can you say it again?" ”

I quickly searched the memory in my head, and then stayed on the situation when I went to the Hengshang Building, and then it dawned on me, and I replied: "Lewis, the AIDMA theory proposed in 1898? ”

"Well, how do you say that?"

"A:attention,I:interest,Arouse interest,D,desire,M,memory,A,action,Put into action." I finished nervously, for fear that my lame spoken pronunciation would make a joke.

"Too many to remember."

Sure enough, Zhou Hengyi didn't remember.

"Otherwise, Mr. Zhou, I'll edit a text message and send it to you?" It's okay to send an email, it's better than exposing your speaking skills anyway.

Zhou Hengyi didn't answer, but asked, "Is Lele okay?" ”

This question surprised me a little, and I honestly replied, "It's good, and it's good when I rub the medicine." ”

"Yes."

I thought about what Xiaobai said yesterday, and hurriedly thanked: "Mr. Zhou, Lele really thank you this time." ”

"Invite me to dinner?"

"Huh?"

"Didn't you say you wanted to invite me to dinner?"

Wait, does Zhou Hengyi mean today?

After all, it is Xiaobai's big customer, and I still pay attention to the contact when speaking, so I asked tentatively: "Does Mr. Zhou mean today?" ”

"It's better to choose a day than to hit the day."

I thought that I was not familiar with Zhou Hengyi, and the day before yesterday he used the excuse of coming to Xiaobai's house to get the documents, presumably he was in love with Xiaobai, so he said: "If Mr. Zhou is free, you can also do it, it just so happens that Xiaobai is also there, what flavor does Mr. Zhou like?" ”

The other end of the phone didn't reply as quickly as just now, and after a few seconds, I heard Zhou Hengyi say: "I like light tastes and endless aftertastes." ”

I told Xiaobai what Zhou Hengyi said, and Xiaobai immediately became angry and said: "This neurotic, eating a meal and engaging in word games, Xiaojie, let me tell you, you and Lele are not suitable to move around now, according to me, as far as the home cooking at the door, do you like to eat or not!" ”

I thought about Zhou Hengyi's situation when he saw Xiaobai, and laughed unconsciously.

Half an hour later, Zhou Hengyi really appeared at the door of Xiaoxiang Xiaozhu, the weather in January, the city's cold wave has already receded silently, and the temperature has warmed up, causing passers-by to retreat from bloat, the man who came to him was wearing a slim suit, looking at the past from such an angle, the figure can be at least ninety points, after all, the man's figure continues to be out of shape after the age of thirty, but Zhou Hengyi's abdomen has no fat at all.

The man in a black shirt and a dark blue casual suit is capable and handsome, although his face is still facial paralysis as always.

Xiaobai stretched out his hand formulaically and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhou, it turned out to be you, who is the handsome guy I should be coming over." ”

Zhou Hengyi also stretched out his hand formulaically, then looked at me and Lele, smiled slightly, and walked towards the restaurant.

Xiaobai's proposal to eat here is actually with a sense of revenge, Xiaoxiang Xiaozhu's home-cooked food actually tastes very good, but after all, the people who come here to eat are residents of the nearby community, and there is still a gap compared with the Dafugui star-rated hotel, the reason why she must choose here is to give Zhou Hengyi a little color.

Why? A plan made her run back and forth more than a dozen times, but every time she passed, she didn't give people room to speak, and only said one word - change. Now that the cooperation is over, Xiaobai has also found an opportunity to "retaliate", as she said, she would rather have two small customers than have any dealings with Zhou Hengyi.

After taking a seat, Xiaobai asked Zhou Hengyi to sit on the upper seat, he didn't shirk, sat down directly, and then looked at Xiaobai and said, "Miss Liang, our meal today is just a private meal between friends, you don't have to take a bite of Mr. Zhou, take it easy." ”

Xiaobai was deflated and gave me a look, as if to say, "Nothing is to your liking!" ”

I found a children's chair for Lele, you can't drink with children, I asked Xiaobai and Zhou Hengyi for a bottle of liquor, but Zhou Hengyi refused: "You can ask for a bottle of juice, and you have to drive back." ”

So, the thank-you banquet that was originally prepared to reward Mr. Zhou really became a simple meal for a few friends, Lele likes steamed eggs, and ate one after a while, but he played a temper and didn't want to eat, Xiaobai glared at him and said: "Yuan Anle child, your picky eater doesn't like it, do you still want a small plane?" Dine! ”

Xiaobai's voice was very loud, but Lele didn't eat this set at all, but sat aside silently, at this time Zhou Hengyi got up, took the dishes and chopsticks in my hand, and said: "Lele eats obediently, and after eating, Uncle will take you to play." ”

Lele actually ate it.

Xiaobai's self-esteem was greatly hit, and when Zhou Hengyi fed Lele, he rolled his eyes several times in a row.

Halfway through the meal, Xiaobai's mobile phone rang, she got up to answer the phone, and Zhou Hengyi and I were left at the dinner table, I fed Lele, and heard him say: "When I came over just now, I saw the announcement posted on the bulletin board of your community, you should pay attention to it at night with your children alone." ”

"What announcement?"

"It was said that there were thieves coming in and out recently, and the date was written half a month ago, burglary."

When I returned to City A, I took a fancy to the remote location of this community and moved over, but now it seems that there are really advantages and disadvantages, and the location is remote, and the thief has nothing to fear.

At this time, Xiaobai came back, her face was a little ugly, I asked her what was wrong, and she said: "Mr. Yu of Shengyuan Coffee, his grandmother's temper is too bad, let me send the plan over on Monday." ”

Zhou Hengyi's face was slightly shocked when he heard the sentence "his grandmother's", and when Xiaobai noticed it, he could only look at the man next to him awkwardly, and said with a smile: "If everyone talks to Mr. Zhou so well, things will be much easier to solve." ”

The corners of Zhou Hengyi's mouth hooked and said, "It turns out that I am a good talker." ”

The meal was quite pleasant, after the meal, Xiaobai and I sent Zhou Hengyi away, before leaving, Lele clamored for him to hug, Zhou Hengyi did not hesitate to hug Lele, kissed his little face, and said, "Uncle will come to see you next time, okay?" ”

Even coaxed and deceived, Lele was finally willing to let go of Zhou Hengyi, but Xiaobai was not happy, she pinched Lele's little face, and said: "You little bastard, who took you and your mother back, the old nerve accompanied you for one night, you don't even want a godmother." ”

I was teased by Xiaobai, and when I got home, I coaxed Lele to sleep, and then checked my phone and received a text message from Zeng Ziqian.

"We'll have to meet and talk."

I don't know whether to be happy or sad to see this text message, in other words, in the past, he must have come on his own initiative, and now, he respects my decision more, but what happens after we meet? Why don't you continue to go around the same problem?

I didn't reply to the message, after resting for a while, I was busy with work, and after feeding Lele dinner, I suddenly noticed that his little face was flushed, and after measuring and asking questions, I realized that he had a fever again.

Xiaobai was not at home, I could only take Lele to take a taxi to the hospital, fortunately, the doctor told me that the problem was not big, just a complication caused by scalding, tossed back and forth, and returned to the community at more than ten o'clock.

The community is very large, the opening time is less than four years, I live with Xiaobai This one belongs to the farthest one from the main entrance, many residents have not moved in, resulting in a sense of silence when approaching, plus the street lights on both sides are still broken, so this journey is more terrifying, there is no feeling during the day, but at this moment the heart is afraid.

And then not long after leaving, I always felt that a figure had been following behind, and my mind immediately thought of the burglary that Zhou Hengyi said during the day, and I couldn't help but be a little frightened, holding Lele tightly and speeding up the pace, but the figure behind me also accelerated the pace, I forced myself to calm down, until I saw the dim light under the building, I breathed a sigh of relief.

I didn't dare to look back, walked quickly to the elevator, and pressed the close button several times.

After arriving home safely, I locked the door and went to bed with Lele in my arms, only to find that my back was full of night sweats.

I covered Lele with a quilt, walked to the door, and glanced at the cat's eye several times, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

Yes, I'm afraid.

At this moment, the mobile phone suddenly rang, the ringtone startled my legs weak, I picked up the phone, looked at the three words "Zeng Ziqian" on the screen, and pressed the answer button.

"Hello?" My nose was sour, and tears of grievance were about to fall.

"What's wrong?" Zeng Ziqian heard it and said, "Xiao Jie......"

"I'm a little scared."

Zeng Ziqian breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Come here and open the door." ”

I didn't understand what he meant for the first two seconds, until there was movement at the door, and I glanced at it in my super cat eyes, and I was shocked.

Zeng Ziqian actually stood at the door.

I blamed myself for not being bold enough, but the situation just now ...... With that in mind, I opened the door.

Zeng Ziqian looked at me with an anxious look on his face and said, "What's wrong?" ”

I just remembered, it's late at night, how could Zeng Ziqian appear here?

With a little bit of annoyance, I looked at him and said, "Why are you here?" ”

Zeng Ziqian showed a suddenly realized expression, his face was a little depressed, and said, "I...... I'll come over after work. ”

"Let's go back, then."

Zeng Ziqian looked at me in astonishment and said, "What happened to you just now?" ”

"It's okay, I just feel like someone is following me."

Zeng Ziqian's eyes widened, a trace of embarrassment flashed on his face, and he said, "Just now...... It's me. ”

I was angry and depressed, and I didn't speak in a good tone, saying, "Don't you have to be in bed in the hospital?" How do you have time to come here? ”

Zeng Ziqian did not speak.

"It's so late, haven't you been busy with acquisitions lately? Go back, I need to rest, too. ”

Zeng Ziqian just stared at me, then sighed and said, "Call me if you have something." ”

I nodded, and without waiting for him to say anything more, I closed the door.

Leaning against the door, it took me a moment before I heard footsteps leaving, and then walked to the bedroom.

He's off work, so it's not a dozen o'clock?

I didn't pay attention to this, but the next morning, a staff member came to knock on the door and told me to install an anti-theft door.

The payer is Mr. Tsang.

The newspaper said that Hengyu had determined the plan to acquire Tiansheng and was determined to win.

Xiaobai learned that Zeng Ziqian came over to install an anti-theft door, and said while laughing: "Why do you still open the door for him, if it is me, I will directly wish him and Wang Luoqi a big wedding, cut, so as not to delay my happiness." ”

I didn't reply, in fact, now that I have time to think about this, it is my greatest wish to let Lele grow up healthily.

On Monday morning, I gave Xiaobai the plan of Hengyuan Coffee, fortunately, the other party was basically satisfied, but they felt that just the media placement was not effective, and they wanted the same series of print ads, and they were willing to pay 20% more, and asked me to complete it as soon as possible and hand it in on Wednesday.

I expressed a lot of pressure, thinking that the other party was willing to contribute more, and I was satisfied.

What I didn't expect was that on Tuesday afternoon, I actually received another call from Zhou Hengyi, who first asked me two advertising questions, then asked Lele about the situation, and finally asked Xiaobai. I made up my mind, so I said that Xiaobai was free at night and could eat together.

Zhou Hengyi agreed.

Xiaobai heard that this Zhou Hengyi came to her again, and suddenly one head and two big, and then I gave her a little reminder, and she suddenly realized and said, "No, the old nerve has taken a fancy to me!" ”

I smiled and nodded, and said, "Don't you think it's strange that he came over and picked up things in person many times?" Last time I went to Hengshang Building, I knew that he had two assistants, who couldn't run once. ”

Xiaobai said: "But I'm not interested in old nerves. ”

"Zhao Yang?"

"Even if you compare it, Zhao Yang's physical strength is good." The little white has a hard mouth.

I thought of Zhou Hengyi, so I said: "If you don't like it, just confess, I'll go first with Lele at dinner, and you can talk about it then." ”

Xiaobai thought it was a good idea, so he agreed.

It was still Xiaoxiang Xiaozhu, but Zhou Hengyi arrived twenty minutes early, and we went directly to the location on the second floor, like last time, ordering food to eat, and when Lele ate about the same, I excused myself to leave, leaving the two of them alone.

Originally, it was nothing, but it was only half an hour after Lele and I arrived home, and Xiaobai called me, and the first thing he said was: "Yuan Xiaojie, it's a mistake!" ”

I listened to such an inexplicable sentence, and before I could speak, I heard Xiaobai say: "Zhou Hengyi is not interesting to me, he ...... He seems to want to see you. ”

Now it's my turn to be calm.

"No kidding." I'm an unmarried mother, what do people like about me?

"I'm not kidding, I turned him down not long after you left, and it turned out to be ...... He smiled and told me about the misunderstanding, and asked me if you left early because of this incident. ”

"What did you say?"

"Of course I told the truth, and then ...... Zhou Hengyi asked me about your situation, and I ...... I accidentally ......"

My gut told me something was going to happen.

"I'll just say that you Zeng Ziqian is a scumbag, and you have a fiancée at home who is not involved, so you have no name ......"

"Xiaobai!"

"I was wrong...... Xiaobai said in a pouting voice, "or is it just small talk?" ”

Zhou Hengyi's eyes immediately appeared in front of my eyes looking at Lele, and I suddenly realized...... And just when I was flustered by this oolong situation, the doorbell suddenly rang, I walked to the door in a few steps, glanced at the cat's eye, and froze in place for a moment.

Because the one standing at the door was actually Zhou Hengyi.
