Chapter 137: Leaving the Trace
Qin Shijin wore a rather traditional black dress with double buttons, he was the kind of natural hanger, and even such a traditional dress, worn on him, was extremely noble and elegant. [Ran^Text^Library] []. [774] [buy]. [com]
And today, he looks even more noble and handsome.
He's the main character today.
Tong An took him by the arm and walked on the red carpet covered with flower petals.
She wore an ivory lace gown and long dress, the proper cut highlighted her delicate figure, and the hand-woven lace dots were dyed with luxury. Her long black hair is pulled up high, and the emerald drop-shaped earrings shine in the sun, which just sets off her graceful and graceful temperament.
She held a blue enchantress flower bulb in her hand, with milky roses, decorated with layers of lace, and a long ribbon of flowers flowed from her hand to the red carpet, magnificent and prosperous.
A pair of talented and beautiful women, in the warm applause, slowly walked over.
Lu Zhanyan stood behind the crowd and watched the two people who were getting closer.
Since knowing that they were going to get engaged, Lu Zhanyan has not met him again. He hadn't been to the company for a few days, and I heard that he had gone to Paris to buy a wedding dress.
Paris, France, the most romantic city in the world.
Only the wedding dress there will be worthy of Tong An and his bride.
But he still felt a little sudden, and he didn't have a happy expression at his engagement banquet. The deep gaze is indifferent, as if it were just an inconsequential show.
Qin Shijin's gaze inadvertently bumped into hers, and his gaze met, and even time stood still.
Lu Zhanyan was stunned, his eyes were slightly sharp, but for a moment, a smile floated on his face again, like a spring breeze.
Suddenly I felt a little sarcastic.
Why did she have to go through such a scene twice?
Why did he look at her in the crowd?
Lu Zhanyan forced himself to smile, peacefully, without touching the slightest emotion in his heart.
Qin Shijin's eyes were deep and distant, and the depths of his eyes seemed to be a deeper and deeper sea.
In the end, it just passed by.
Lu Zhanyan's ears were filled with applause, laughter, and blessings, but she couldn't see what was happening in front of her at all, it was just a vague mess, a shadow. The master of ceremonies presides, the two parents give speeches, exchange rings, and kiss the bride...... The various images have been switched one by one.
Qin Shijin's lips fell on Tong An's face like a dragonfly, and the applause rang out warmly.
Tong An lowered his eyes, as if he was shy, and his long eyelashes trembled slightly.
Finally, the ceremony was completed.
In fact, I have known it for a long time and have been prepared for it for a long time.
Lu Zhanyan applauded softly, as if to confirm that he finally would not have the slightest possibility of belonging to her again.
※※※
Over there, Qin Shijin and Tong An were toasting with the guests.
Although they were all smiling, they didn't seem to have the joy and satisfaction that a newcomer should have.
Countless guests rushed to toast first.
Lu Zhanyan sat quietly on the side for a long time, and finally picked up a glass of wine and walked towards them.
Qin Shijin also looked at her in an instant, countless emotions flashed in his eyes, and then he returned to calm.
"Mr. Jin, Manager Tong, this first glass of wine, I wish you all to be united forever." She raised her glass and said with a generous blessing.
"Secretary Lu, thank you." Tong An smiled.
Qin Shijin just looked at her and didn't speak.
Lu Zhanyan drank all the wine in the cup, put the empty wine glass on the waiter's tray, and took another glass.
"Second glass, I wish you all happiness."
The others applauded softly, and the atmosphere was very warm.
"The third glass of wine, I wish you a hundred years of old age."
"Thank you, Zhanyan." Tong An smiled in response and drank the wine.
Qin Shijin lowered his eyes, his movements were very slow, and he also drank the wine.
Lu Zhanyan's expression maintained a quiet and peaceful smile for a long time, his eyes were very bright, black and white, and the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, it was the smile that he was used to, but there was a dark background under his eyes.
Qin Shijin looked at her, his slender and slightly squinted eyes, dripping with a bunch of unpredictable colors.
Someone stepped forward to toast, and Lu Zhanyan retreated silently.
There's nothing left for her to do, and it's time for her to leave.
Exit this banquet, which did not belong to her in the first place.
"Mr. Dusk, I'm a little drunk and want to go back first." Lu Zhanyan found Qin Duyun and said softly.
"I'll send you back."
"No need, Mr. Dusk," Lu Zhanyan said with a smile, he is also one of the hosts today, and he needs to entertain guests, "I haven't drunk much, but I'm a little dizzy, I can get a taxi when I go out." ”
"Well, be careful on the road." Qin Duyun really couldn't leave, so he told her.
Lu Zhanyan smiled and nodded and walked out of the hotel, facing a gust of wind.
She couldn't help but look back to see the bustle and prosperity.
It's like looking back at where you have come since you reunited with him.
No matter how good the scenery is, it is only a scenery after all.
Lu Zhanyan retracted his gaze and walked slowly along the road. She didn't want to take a taxi, she just walked quietly alone.
Step by step, away from that memory, and away from him.
A car suddenly stopped beside her, and Lu Zhanyan stopped and turned his head in surprise.
The car window slowly lowered, and Xiao Mobai smiled at her, "Lu Zhanyan, leave so early?" ”
"Xiao Mobai, didn't you leave so early?" She didn't pay attention to those identities anymore, and called them generously.
"My congratulations have been delivered."
"Mine was delivered, too."
Xiao Mobai smiled heartily, "Do you want to have a drink?" ”
Lu Zhanyan looked at him and thought about it, but he didn't refuse, but obediently got into the car.
Xiao Mobai took her to a quiet bar with singers singing quiet songs.
They drank quietly and didn't say much.
Guests came and went, and they still didn't move at the bar.
Lu Zhanyan pinched the goblet wine glass with two fingers and put it in front of his eyes, looking at the seven-colored dazzling lights through the crimson wine. The light was already dazzling, but through the wine-colored filter, it seemed gentle, changing light and shadow in her eyes.
She suddenly said abruptly, "The value of a person is sometimes like a bottle of wine. ”
Inexplicably, I remembered a bottle of wine.
Remembered the first encounter.
Maybe that's all she has.
Xiao Mobai paused for a moment and looked at her thoughtfully.
Lu Zhanyan was already reluctant to say more, "The wine is also finished, I should go home." ”
Xiao Mobai didn't ask much thoughtfully, just raised his glass and drank the wine, and then sent her home.
The car stopped near Lu Zhanyan's apartment building, she unbuckled her seat belt, thanked her softly, and opened the door and got out of the car.
was about to turn around, but Xiao Mobai suddenly called out to her, "The gambling game back then was not proposed by Jin, and he didn't even participate." ”
With that, he started the car.
Lu Zhanyan stood on the side of the street with a slightly stunned expression.
What's the point and use of telling her this now?
Lu Zhanyan thought that maybe she should leave and leave Zhongzheng.
&mda;
After the engagement banquet, Lu Zhanyan lived very calmly.
In fact, if you think about it, it's just another joke.
So calm, even she felt very surprised.
went to work in the company as usual, and saw Ji Xiangyang and Ji Lin appear in the general manager's office at the same time.
Lu Zhanyan, who was originally going to go in to report to work, paused, turned around and went to the pantry to brew coffee first.
According to Qin Duyun's habit, he also made green tea for him.
Knocking on the door and entering, Ji Xiangyang's face was calm, but Ji Lin smiled at her very kindly.
Lu Zhanyan also responded with a smile, put down the coffee and tea, and was about to withdraw, but Qin Duyun stopped her.
"Secretary Lu, this is Ji Xiangyang and Ji Lin."
Lu Zhanyan smiled, "Hello, I'm Lu Zhanyan, President Dusk's secretary. ”
The two of them smiled at her.
"From today onwards, Ji Xiangyang will be qualified for the position of all managers of Zhongzheng Bao, as for Ji Lin&mda;&mda;" Qin Duyun continued to introduce, he paused for a moment, and looked at Ji Lin, "You arrange for her to enter the department, starting as an office clerk." ”
Ji Lin looked at him, then the smile dissipated, his eyes dimmed, and his beautiful eyebrows furrowed, "I'm not a clerk." ”
"And what are you going to do?" Qin Duyun asked.
"I told my brother before I came, and besides, I won't be a clerk." Ji Lin spoke a little fast, and faced Qin Duyun neatly and crisply, but she lowered her head.
Qin Duyun was silent, seemed a little helpless, but still persuaded him, "You are a girl, and being a clerk is very suitable for you." ”
Ji Lin still said the same, "I don't like to be a clerk." ”
"Ji Lin is still in the same department as me, Mr. Dusk, you bother." Ji Xiangyang, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.
When Ji Lin heard this, his eyes bent happily and nodded again and again.
Qin Duyun frowned slightly, and looked at Ji Xiangyang with disapproval, "Ji Lin is a girl in the end, and it is not good to stay in Baoquan." ”
Bao is all men, Ji Lin is a girl, and she mixes with a group of men all day long......
"She has adapted well in the army, and she will have no problems in the company." Ji Xiangyang glanced at Ji Lin, who was bowing his head, and said again.
"If I'm not fit to be insured, then I'll go out and find a job myself." Ji Lin said in a muffled voice, and her tone became softer.
Qin Duyun had to compromise, "Keep everything and keep everything." ”
Ji Lin suddenly smiled, and Qin Duyun's expression seemed to be even more helpless.
Lu Zhanyan watched quietly from the side, but felt a little surprised.
Qin Duyun's temperament seems to be gentle and harmless, but after working together for so long, she has long known that he seems to be very easy to talk on the surface, but he is not a person who is easy to compromise.
And often unconsciously, he let others compromise with him.
At least that's what she is.
It's just that this is the first time she has seen him show such a helpless expression.
Thinking about Ji Lin's brother and sister's friendship with him, it must be very good.
Lu Zhanyan raised a smile and said lightly, "Manager Ji, Miss Ji Lin, I will take more care of you in the future." ”
※※※
On quiet days, there is also good news.
As the host, the case of cooperation between China and the German side was successfully passed, and as the host, the government specially hosted a banquet for all the staff members of the German side.
Qin Duyun personally accompanied, so naturally the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves.
The implementation of the cooperation project was very smooth, and the company was a lot more relaxed, and the meeting was full of joy.
Before leaving work, Lu Zhanyan came back with the documents and saw Qin Shijin coming out of the elevator.
Although he couldn't do it very calmly, he also greeted calmly, "Mr. Jin." ”
Qin Shijin looked at her with deep eyes, "Where is the twilight?" ”
Lu Zhanyan replied in a formulaic tone, "Manager Tong and Manager Xiao are inside." ”
Qin Shijin bowed slightly, his eyes still looking at her.
After talking in the hospital room, they didn't see each other again after that engagement feast.
Qin Shijin didn't look for her again, and she deliberately avoided any scene where she could see him.
I always feel that this is the best for them.
If there is no entanglement of results, it is better not to see each other again.
Only occasionally will I go to the deputy general office, and when I arrive at the deputy general office, I will meet the secretary Xu Rui.
That time Xu Rui called out to her, Lu Zhanyan looked back and saw a hesitant smile on his shy face. She was still surprised, wondering what was going on. Who knew that Xu Rui hesitated for a moment before he said something. And it was these words that shocked Lu Zhanyan.
Xu Rui said at the time: Xiao Lu, Mr. Jin is engaged, don't be too sad. Some things, the past is gone, you have no problem, don't think about it, I believe that tomorrow will be better.
Xu Rui looked at her nervously, just afraid that he had said the wrong thing.
But Lu Zhanyan was confused, and finally came back to his senses, but he understood.
Xu Rui is comforting himself, what does he know?
But logically speaking, it should be impossible for him to know about her relationship with Qin Shijin.
According to his understanding of Xu Rui, Lu Zhanyan immediately clarified the relationship and asked him if he knew anything. When Xu Rui saw her asking, he didn't hide anything anymore, and also made it clear and said: You and Mr. Jin, you have been in love before.
Lu Zhanyan was grateful to him, and didn't look at her with any eyes at this moment.
Lu Zhanyan asked him again how he knew.
Xu Rui refused to say more, but still persuaded her.
Lu Zhanyan listened to his comforting words, and she, who was originally calm like a nobody, inexplicably felt that she was naked. It's like a transparent person, standing in front of everyone, but he still thinks that the coat of defense is well wrapped. But in fact, everyone else knows and knows the things behind her and him.
Xu Rui has made discoveries, but what about the others?
Did the rest of my colleagues in the finance department find out?
In Zhongzheng Company, Xiao Mobai knows, Xu Rui also knows, or there is someone she knows, and people she doesn't know also know.
What about Tong An?
Does she know or not?
The scene in the hospital came to mind again, Tong An opened the closet and saw the scene of the suit jacket. How could she not doubt that she was such a smart girl. Unless she doesn't care about Qin Shijin at all, but it's impossible, who wouldn't care? So, there is only one answer left......
Lu Zhanyan felt uncomfortable all over his body when he thought that even Tong An might know about their relationship.
Therefore, he not only avoided Qin Shijin, but also avoided Tong An.
This company no longer has a place for her.
The determination to leave, the determination that was still wavering, became resolute.
"Mr. Jin, do you need to help you pass it on?" At this moment, Lu Zhanyan realized that when he was facing him, he could also be calm.
"No, you don't." Qin Shijin's gaze finally brushed over her face, and then turned around and knocked on the door to enter.
In the office, after Qin Duyun and the three of them finished discussing their business, they were all a little relaxed when they saw that it was almost time to get off work.
"Xiang Yang was originally born in the army, and when he entered Baoquan, of course he was like a fish in water." Xiao Mobai closed the information in his hand and asked casually, "I just heard that Ji Lin has also entered the insurance?" ”
"Yes."
"It's not good that all of them are men, and she's a girl left there." Tong An hesitated for a moment and said hesitantly.
She said that if she couldn't get into the security department, she would have to go to another company. Instead of letting her run to another company, it is better to put her in the center. And Brother Ji is also there, and he will watch her. ”
"That girl has always been stubborn." Xiao Mobai shook his head and smiled, "No one can do anything about what she decides." ”
Qin Duyun felt the same way, and responded with a smile, "Both of them are the same. ”
Tong An pursed his lips slightly and smiled together.
It's just that smile, always a little reluctant.
Qin Shijin came in at this time, and the topic of Ji Xiangyang's brothers and sisters came to an end.
There were no outsiders in the office, and the three of Qin Duyun seemed very casual.
"Big brother, why did you come up at this time?"
"There's a document that you need to sign." Qin Shijin said in a deep voice, placing the document in his hand on Qin Duyun's desk.
"It's just a document, why don't you come up in person and let your subordinates deliver it?" Qin Duyun was quite puzzled.
Qin Shijin sat down on the sofa and didn't say anything.
Xiao Mobai's eyesight was excellent, and he saw the words on the document in a blink of an eye, and looked at Qin Shijin with an expressionless face in surprise.
"Jin, how did you come up with the idea of funding Gangcheng No. 1 Middle School?"
"Zhongzheng's corporate image needs to be improved." Qin Shijin said in a high-sounding voice.
"The University of Hong Kong is your alma mater, and it is normal for you to sponsor it, but none of us have ever studied at Hong Kong City No. 1 High School."
"The admission rate of Gangcheng No. 1 Middle School has increased greatly recently, and the annual publicity is especially grand, which is also the best way to publicize Zhongzheng." Qin Shijin said succinctly.
Qin Duyun had no objection to this, took the document over, and quickly signed his name.
Tong An glanced at his watch, "It's time to get off work, let's go!" ”
The four of them made an appointment with Ji Xiangyang's brothers and sisters to gather today, planning to leave together.
Lu Zhanyan walked out of the secretary's office with his bag and collided with them.
Qin Duyun saw her and shouted to stop her, "Secretary Lu, fortunately you haven't left yet, we made an appointment to go for a drink together, let's go." ”
"The smooth cooperation with the German side this time is indispensable to Secretary Lu." Xiao Mobai also said teasingly.
"I won't go, Mr. Dusk, Manager Tong, just go." Lu Zhanyan responded with a smile, but his attitude was resolute.
"Zhanyan, you don't need to drink, if it's okay, come with us." Tong An also joined the persuasion team.
"I really don't go, because there's something else going on, so I'll go first." Lu Zhanyan refused, it was a rare willfulness and persistence.
After she finished speaking, she smiled apologetically and left first.
Qin Shijin looked at her figure as she paced into the elevator, and as the door closed, it disappeared.
&mda;
The successful achievement of the German plan also allowed Qin Duyun to pass the assessment of the board of directors.
Three months later, Qin was officially accepted by the board of directors and sat firmly in the position of general manager.
"Mr. Twilight, congratulations." Coming out of the conference room, Lu Zhanyan sincerely congratulated Qin Duyun.
It's just that although she is smiling, she doesn't feel very happy.
I always think of another person in the room.
When everyone accepted Qin Duyun and congratulated him on becoming the ruler of Zhongzheng, no one noticed him.
Although he didn't care, although he actually knew for a long time that the company belonged to Qin Duyun.
But in the end, it is he who supports and grows!
Can you really not mind at all?
And Qin Duyun, who was congratulated by Lu Zhanyan, looked calm and peaceful, and he couldn't say how happy he was.
"Secretary Lu, what do you think of Mr. Jin's ability compared to me?"
Lu Zhanyan was slightly stunned, and said thoughtfully, "Mr. Jin and Mr. Dusk have their own abilities. ”
"Jin is more suitable for this position than me, don't you think?"
Lu Zhanyan was speechless, although this was actually the truth, but in front of her current boss, she couldn't say that her former boss was even more powerful, even if it was the truth.
Lu Zhanyan was silent and said, "Mr. Dusk, you can do it." ”
I don't want a company......
Lu Zhanyan remembered what he had said, and couldn't help but feel a little ironic.
One doesn't want it, but the other doesn't care about it.
At that time, standing in the ward, she heard Qin Shijin's tone so resolute, and she clearly did not have the slightest covetousness for Zhongzheng.
So, why did he have to work so hard for Zhongzheng?
Just because his surname is Qin, because he is the eldest son and eldest grandson of the Qin family?
……
In the afternoon, Qin Shijin received a call from the Qin family, and Fang Xian gently conveyed Qin Yaozong's words to him, asking him to take the time to go back today.
When he got off work, Xiao Mobai came to the finance department.
"Jin, I won a bottle of good wine yesterday, stored in the Jinglan Club, you can try it later."
"I've got something to do today." Qin Shijin said in a deep voice.
Xiao Mobai misunderstood, and smiled meaningfully, "Okay, I know, I won't delay you." ”
Qin Shijin knew that he had misunderstood, but he didn't explain.
Xiao Mobai looked at his expressionless face and couldn't help but say, "Girls all need to be coaxed." ”
Qin Shijin raised his head and glanced at him.
"When the time comes, she'll know." Qin Shijin said faintly, and the light in his deep eyes flashed.
Xiao Mobai didn't want to persuade him anymore, Qin Shijin was the most thoughtful person among them.
He stood still, perhaps already having an idea in his mind.
I'm afraid that Lu Zhanyan already has an incomparable weight in his heart, otherwise, how could he let him escort her home after the engagement banquet.
So he didn't worry anymore, Xiao Mobai got up and said, "Then I'll go first." ”
Qin Shijin drove back to Qin's house alone, Fang Xian greeted him lightly and went back to the room.
Qin Yaozong sat on the sofa, his face solemn and majestic, "Sit." ”
Qin Shijin sat down as he said, waiting for Qin Yaozong's instructions.
"Twilight has done a great job in the past three months, and the directors are very happy with him." Qin Yaozong spoke in a deep voice, and when he mentioned Qin Duyun, his tone softened slightly.
"Yes, he's adapting well." Qin Shijin said calmly.
Qin Yaozong narrowed his eyes slightly, and his sharp gaze examined him, as if he wanted to see something from his expression.
"There's no problem with Twilight's side, the new company on the German side has just been established, you can take care of it."
"Okay." Qin Shijin didn't even think about it, and directly agreed.
"Arrange it here, and you can go over." Qin Yaozong's gaze was full of cautious meaning.
"I see." Qin Shijin was still very calm, as cold as water.
※※※
The weekly meeting every Monday and the routine report of the results solved the problems of various departments. Near the end of the meeting, Qin Shijin announced in a deep voice, "I will go to Germany next week, and all the affairs of the company will be fully responsible for Mr. Dui." ”
Everyone was stunned, and they all looked at each other.
Tong An was about to close the document when she was about to do it, obviously she didn't know it.
Lu Zhanyan stared silently, he was leaving......
Immediately, everyone's gaze at Qin Shijin became subtle.
but there is a lot of sympathy and mercy.
After the meeting was dismissed, I dared to discuss it in private.
"Why is Mr. Jin suddenly going to Germany?"
"I heard that it's a new company in Germany that needs someone to take over."
"Excuse me, Manager Xiao or Manager Tong, you can't send whoever you want."
"What do you mean?"
"Mr. Jin lost his position as general manager and felt that he couldn't get over his face, so he decided to go to Germany!"
"Ah, I see!"
"Speaking of which, the chairman is really unfair to Mr. Jin."
"Don't talk about it, is this something we can discuss? Do things and do things ......"
At the same time, Tong An came to Qin Shijin's office.
"Nishiki, I'll go to Germany with you."
"You stay here, CISH-k needs you." Qin Shijin refused.
"But ......"
"Tong An, you stay."
Qin Shijin's attitude was resolute, and Tong An knew that it would be useless to continue talking, so he had to return in vain.
The company's rumors continued, and Lu Zhanyan naturally heard about it, although she knew that everything about him had nothing to do with her, she was still a little melancholy, and more of it was actually worthless for him.
It's like a meritorious hero who has made great achievements and is exiled because he is jealous from above.
This departure is probably difficult to say goodbye.
The routine report every Friday, although he was going to Germany, but because he didn't stop, Lu Zhanyan still went to his office on Friday.
After calmly reporting it, Qin Shijin suddenly asked coldly, "Why did you lose weight?" ”
Lu Zhanyan was stunned for a moment, only to find that his gaze had been lingering on her face, her heart tightened, and then she said, "No." ”
"It's not good to be too thin." He was a quiet sentence again.
Lu Zhanyan only felt a palpitation and lowered his eyes.
Qin Shijin opened his mouth and said, "From next week, you don't have to report to me again. ”
"Yes." Lu Zhanyan responded softly, "Mr. Jin, if there's nothing else, I'll go out first." ”
Qin Shijin stared at her for a moment before he said "En" indifferently.
When he went to work the next Monday, he didn't see Qin Shijin in the conference hall again, and he left the port city.
Lu Zhanyan sat quietly in the conference hall and turned his head to look out the window. I saw a plane soaring in the sky, leaving a white cloud in its wake.
His departure was as clear as this white cloud.
But it didn't seem to leave any trace in her world.
It's just that she didn't expect that he even left earlier than her.
