Chapter 127: Happy Birthday
Lu Zhanyan did not lose sleep, but woke up at six o'clock the next morning. [Ran^Text^Library] []. [774] [buy]. [com] also wanted to get some sleep, closed his glasses, but he didn't feel sleepy. It's rare to be lazy on weekends when there's nothing to do. At this time, suddenly irritable, the biological clock needs to be so punctual and reliable.
When I usually go to work, I don't see it so punctually.
Tossed and turned for a while, and since I couldn't sleep, I didn't plan to continue sleeping.
Simply got up, Lu Zhanyan turned on the TV, washed his face and warmed the milk amid the sound of the TV.
Time ticked by, and every minute and every second slowed down, and it was as slow as it had never been.
At nine o'clock, she watched TV and drank a glass of water.
At half past nine, she got to work.
Some unfinished data in the company was brought back home, and there was nothing to do anyway, so it was better to solve some of the work. Anyway, sooner or later, she has to finish it.
At ten o'clock, the document was still blank on the computer screen.
Ten o'clock......
That's the time, the time he said on the phone......
At half past ten, the computer was turned on, and Lu Zhanyan fell asleep on the sofa.
At eleven o'clock, the phone rang.
Lu Zhanyan was awakened, and then picked up the phone all of a sudden, she didn't even have time to look at the caller ID first. When I picked it up, I felt that something was wrong, so I was silent and didn't speak.
"Secretary Lu?" The other one asked tentatively, but it wasn't him.
Lu Zhanyan heard this voice, he was Xu Rui.
She was stunned for a moment, unable to tell whether she was disappointed or what emotion she was in, and cheered up and said, "Secretary Xu, do you have anything to do with me?" ”
"I brought some documents home to deal with, but one document was forgotten in the company, so I came to the company to look for it. But I haven't been able to find it, and you were in charge before, so I want to ask you. Secretary Xu explained the purpose of his call, and asked embarrassedly, "Am I bothering you?" ”
"It's okay, I'm not busy, what kind of document is it?"
"Do you remember where you put the information on the cooperation with Deyi at the beginning of this year?"
Lu Zhanyan quickly recalled, and asked suspiciously, "Doesn't Deyi think that the price given by Zhongzheng is unreasonable and doesn't plan to cooperate?" ”
"Yes, this project has been put down, but Deyi discussed and compared, and still felt that Zhongzheng had the most strength and credibility, and wanted to continue to talk about cooperation."
"That's ...... so"
The two discussed two more sentences, and Lu Zhanyan finally remembered, "In the documents on the left hand side of the third floor of the filing cabinet, do you see if there are any?" ”
"I'm looking for ......," Secretary Xu's voice was still, and then smiled, "Found it!" I'm sorry for you, Secretary Lu! ”
"It's okay, you're welcome."
"Then I'll hang up, goodbye."
"Goodbye."
Hanging up the phone, Lu Zhanyan threw the phone aside, looked at the blank computer, and continued to be quietly stunned.
Lu Zhanyan felt that this was not good, and he had to let himself do something.
Think like a big lunch.
Otherwise, she was afraid that she would not be able to control herself.
I can't control my heart, I can't control my legs.
Running out to see what was going on, wanting to see if he was there!
Lu Zhanyan immediately changed his clothes and went out to buy a bag of ingredients at a nearby supermarket. It was washing and cooking, and when she brought the finished dishes to the table, she looked at the time, and it was already two o'clock in the afternoon.
It doesn't seem to be lunch, but dinner.
Lu Zhanyan sat down and enjoyed the delicacy alone.
But looking at the dishes on the table, I was stunned.
What did she do?
It's his favorite food on weekdays!
However, these dishes have not been made by herself since she moved out of his apartment.
thought she had forgotten everything, but it turned out that she still remembered.
I even did it involuntarily, and I got used to it like that.
Lu Zhanyan frowned, a little unsavory.
After eating alone and cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, Lu Zhanyan began to fidget.
The sky seemed to change, and she looked up at the window, the overcast sky, the clouds as if stained with ink, heavy and dreary.
The air was hot and humid, as if it was about to rain.
Summer is the most prone to rain, and I'm afraid that another burst of rain is coming.
The clock on the wall of the living room, with the hour hand pointing to punctuality, makes a slight chime.
Lu Zhanyan picked up his mobile phone and looked, there was no phone and no message, nothing. She put it down gently, but the boredom became more and more serious.
The sky was also very boring like her, and it became more and more gloomy.
Suddenly, an astonishing flash of lightning flashed in front of him, and then the muffled thunder rang out one after another from the rooftop, deafening.
The rain poured down, and the whole world seemed to be in a waterfall.
At five o'clock, the rain had not stopped.
Lu Zhanyan stood by the window for a long time, but his expression was complicated.
Will he wait there? Would you like to give him a call? No, you can't fight! However, don't worry!
I want to go and see if he's still there!
"Ahh It's raining so hard! I didn't even bring an umbrella! The girl who was renting with her came back, all drenched, she cried.
"Well, it's raining heavily." Lu Zhanyan responded, and then muttered, "With such a heavy rain, are there still people outside?" ”
"Of course not, all of them went back to hide from the rain, only stupid people are outside!"
A sucker? Could he be that idiot?
Lu Zhanyan had been entangled in the question of whether to go or not for so long, but at this moment, he still resolutely turned around, took an umbrella, and was about to go out with a satchel.
The girl who was renting with her saw that she was going out, and said curiously, "It's raining a lot outside, do you still want to go out?" ”
Lu Zhanyan smiled at her, "Something." ”
Because he said, "I'll wait for you", she wanted to check it out!
Let's go and see what is going on, so that the extravagant thoughts that arise in my heart can be broken.
In such a thunderstorm, it is really difficult to stop a taxi. I finally got a car and hurried there. Then getting out of the car, Lu Zhanyan walked a long way in the rain and fog with difficulty, and finally arrived here.
By this time, she was already soaking wet.
The devil sent her to this place.
She didn't approach, but quietly looked at the intersection opposite. If you see him, give him a call and tell him to leave right away.
But in the vast rain and fog, there was no one except her. On such a rainy day, who will come here and who will wait here.
Only a fool is out there!
There was no one on the streets, only cars coming and going, and the rain was constantly falling from the sky.
The rain hit my body, and I felt some pain.
It's so light.
Lu Zhanyan stood alone in the square, as if she was the only one left in the world, standing here ridiculously.
Anger, sadness, disappointment, all kinds of emotions suddenly burst out, but they were not as intense as expected, as if they had been expected for a long time, but they turned into grievances.
How could he wait for her!
The umbrella fell from her hand, and the rain was so heavy that she could barely open her eyes.
She tasted a hint of saltiness, but she didn't cry.
Rain, it turns out, also knows how to hurt and soothe.
Let this rain make her completely sober, don't sink again, don't hope for anything anymore, he no longer belongs to his own world.
"Lu Zhanyan, you're a fool......"
&mda;
The rain poured relentlessly, and huge lightning bolts burst through the sky, tearing through the sky like a rage.
Two student-looking girls pass east of Clock Square, wearing the uniforms of students from a middle school.
Suddenly, their attention was drawn to the man sitting on the bench in front of them.
The man, very handsome, had a cold expression, indifferent and cold. His eyebrows were clearly defined, the bridge of his nose was straight, and he pursed his lips without saying a word. The rain had already wet him, but he did not move, and sat stiffly. It's as if it's waiting for something, and it's as if it's just meditating on something.
After all, there are many people who release their emotions in the rain.
It's just such a handsome guy, it seems a pity.
"Look, there's a man in the rain."
"He's very handsome!"
"Waiting for someone?"
"Let's go and ask, maybe I can ask for a number."
The two girls walked over, and when they got closer, they found that the man who was drenched in the rain was more handsome than he looked at from afar, although his whole body was soaked, his black hair was stuck to his forehead, the rain was flowing downstream, his eyes were thin and long, his face was cold rain, and the depths of his eyes were dark, as if a whirlwind was brewing.
"Handsome guy, such a heavy rain, do you want to dodge first."
"We'll lend you an umbrella, do you want it?"
"Huh? Why don't you ignore people? ”
"Get out!" The man's thin lips scolded, and he scolded impatiently.
The cold breath and terrifying eyes made the two girls startled, and they didn't dare to stay any longer to talk, so they hurried away.
"It's very good-looking, why is it so bad-tempered."
"That's it! Did you see that? There seems to be a cake next to him? ”
"Of course I saw it, but it was all rained like this, and I can't eat it!"
The rain kept falling, and this one stopped after nightfall. In the square where the crowd dispersed, the crowd gradually gathered again.
But the man on the bench, his suit was all soaked, and he hadn't left yet.
Some people looked at it curiously, but no one dared to step forward again.
As the night wore on, the crowd dispersed again.
However, the figure on the bench still did not move.
Until the lights of the square were all dimmed, and the surroundings were instantly dark, and the night sky was a deep sea, and the summer was cool.
It was past twelve o'clock in the morning.
Only then did he stand up and leave silently.
There was silence, and there was finally no one in the square.
Only the cake on the bench was still sitting there quietly and had not been touched.
It seems to be wishing someone, happy birthday.
Happy birthday.
Birthday......
Happy......

"Ahem."
"This is Baifeng's contract, Mr. Dusk, please take a look, cough cough ......" Lu Zhanyan said as he put down the document.
Qin Duyun took the document and looked up at her.
Seeing that her face was not too good-looking, she looked very pale, Qin Duyun asked with concern, "Secretary Lu, is you not feeling well?" ”
Lu Zhanyan smiled embarrassedly, "A little cough, sorry." ”
"I don't need to say I'm sorry, but I'm supposed to say I'm sorry, I'm so busy that I'm sick." Qin Duyun's gaze was very sincere, and he took all the responsibility on himself.
Lu Zhanyan hurriedly shook his head, "No, Mr. Dusk, it's not like this, it has nothing to do with you, it's me who got drenched in the rain." ”
"Rain?" Qin Duyun recalled, and said again, "On Saturday? ”
It was only Saturday and there was a sudden heavy rain.
It's going to be too much for people to dodge.
Lu Zhanyan replied softly, "Well, when I went out, I forgot to bring an umbrella, and I rushed home in a hurry, and it rained." ”
"Then you have to be careful, don't get caught in the rain in the future."
"Yes."
"If you are not feeling well, you should go to the hospital to have a look, it will be bad if you delay it for too long."
"Yes."
"During this time, you don't have to work overtime anymore, and you will talk about it when your health is better." Qin Duyun said softly.
Lu Zhanyan frowned, and said stubbornly, "Mr. Dusk, I'm actually fine......"
"Secretary Lu, this is an order." Qin Duyun accentuated his tone and said seriously.
During this period of working with Qin Duyun, she hadn't heard him say the word order, which made her unexpected.
Lu Zhanyan was stunned for a moment, and then smiled, "I know." ”
"Then you go out first, don't accompany you when you go out this afternoon, just let the assistant go with me."
Lu Zhanyan didn't protest anymore, he was rarely resolute, "Okay." ”
"You remember to drink more water, it's better for your body."
"Thank you, Mr. Twilight, for your concern."
Qin Duyun's caring and considerate greetings made Lu Zhanyan feel a little ashamed. In fact, it has nothing to do with work at all, obviously he misunderstood.
Regarding the missed appointment that day, it seemed that it had been expected for a long time, so Lu Zhanyan didn't care too much.
I just feel like it's self-inflicted.
So in exchange for a cold, she took it as a warning.
has long had this understanding, no one will always wait for anyone, it is she who is too stupid to be fooled.
In the future, never again.
Lu Zhanyan, you have to learn to be smarter.
As soon as Lu Zhanyan returned to the secretary's office, he received an internal call from Secretary Xu, who said at the other end, "Secretary Lu, Mr. Jin asked you to come to his office now." ”
"I'll come over now." Lu Zhanyan responded.
There is no need to ask, and he knows that he is going to ask her about Qin Duyun's situation, and that's all.
Lu Zhanyan came to the financial department, and in his office, he heard him say, "How is Mr. Dusk's current situation?" ”
The tone was lukewarm, as if the phone call was not made by him, as if the phrase "I'll wait for you" was not what he said.
It all seemed like she was hallucinating.
"Everything was normal in the general manager's office last week, and the general manager ...... in his hands" Lu Zhanyan opened his mouth lightly, calmly telling Qin Duyun's situation in the previous week, and also tried his best to restrain his cough.
Although Qin Duyun was lazy, compared to him, it must not be compared. But the ability is not bad, at least there are no major faults. Lu Zhanyan didn't help anyone, nor did he deliberately slander anyone, he just told the truth. If he asked her to make some small moves in secret, she would never obey him.
She signed a ten-year work contract with Zhongzheng, but not with him.
"Last week's banquet, Twilight didn't attend." Qin Shijin said again, pointing out the crux of the problem.
Regarding the banquet entertainment, Tong An had already pointed it out after the previous weekly meeting, and now that he mentioned it again, Lu Zhanyan said softly, "I will try my best to let Mr. Twilight attend." ”
But he said, "If Mr. Twilight doesn't want to go, you don't need to let him go, just tell the deputy general office." ”
Lu Zhanyan clenched his fist lightly and understood what he meant.
The occasion for socializing is very important for people in the mall. Only by being able to win over people can we be exquisite. A businessman who only does business but has no partners will never succeed. Now he let Qin Duyun not have to socialize, just to cut off his path to success.
His ambition is as clear as Sima Zhao's.
Lu Zhanyan didn't resist him head-on, but just obeyed, "Yes." ”
Qin Shijin stared at the figure she had been bowing her head in, from the time she came in until now, she didn't even look at him!
Inexplicably, there was anger surging up, and I wanted to say something, but when I opened my mouth, there was only a cold shout, "Get out!" ”
Lu Zhanyan really turned around and left, without even asking a question, not even mentioning it.
Qin Shijin remembered that he had waited for her for a day yesterday, and his mood suddenly began to rage like that storm.
&mda;
If this is a game arranged by Qin Shijin, if she is just a pawn in his game.
At this moment, he would not have expected that she did not follow his pace.
She just wants him to know that even if it's just a game, her chess piece won't compromise so easily!
I don't know if it's to prove something, or if it's just that pathetic self-esteem to get some pride back.
For example, the ability to work at work.
"Mr. Dusk, this document will be issued before noon, please take a look at it first!"
"Mr. Dusk, in a short meeting, the person in charge of the Kedong project will report to you the cause of the fire in the R&D room! Please don't be appeased! ”
"And Mr. Dusk, there is a party tonight, please be sure to attend!"
Lu Zhanyan said a lot in one breath, and after Qin Duyun listened quietly, he said softly, "Secretary Lu, put the documents first, don't worry, I will read them." As for the cause of the fire, I will deal with it at my discretion. And socializing, I don't have time tonight......"
"Mr. Twilight!" This time, Qin Duyun didn't finish his words before he was interrupted by Lu Zhanyan.
Lu Zhanyan stood beside him, straightened his back, and said in a clear and decisive female voice, "You are now the general manager of the company, please regard work as the first during working hours." You've always been kind, but being too generous can leave the wrong employee to chance. If this is the case once, twice, three or four times, then the fluke mentality will evolve into indifference. Gradually, they won't be in awe of you. Your benevolence, your generosity, will make it impossible for you to gain a foothold. ”
"As for socializing, it's a necessary social opportunity to give you more insight into social situations and make more friends, so please attend."
Lu Zhanyan's words were very calm, and his tone did not aggravate.
But it was such plain words that made Qin Duyun sense a hint of deterrence.
His secretary is not such a simple role.
In fact, from the very beginning, Qin Duyun already knew.
It's just that it seems that she is very different from usual today. I used to let his temperament go, but now I have such a positive attitude.
This left him a little confused.
Qin Duyun frowned in embarrassment and said with a smile, "As a secretary, you are really dutiful. ”
"This is what I should." Lu Zhanyan responded lightly.
"I can accept the first two points you said." Qin Duyun said again, "It's just the last point, it's already after work." In terms of socializing, I can not accept it. ”
Lu Zhanyan stared and said, "Mr. Dui, I understand your feelings very well, in fact, I don't like socializing either. However, there are times when it is necessary to attend these occasions, and please focus on the bigger picture. ”
"How can you endure things you don't like? Secretary Lu, if it were you, you wouldn't be able to bear it, right? Qin Duyun asked helplessly.
"Mr. Twilight, you are blessed with innate conditions, so you are free to choose. But many people have no choice. ”
"But you also have the right to choose now, I give you this right, I don't attend the party, you can also be exempted, isn't it great?" Qin Duyun tried to use this to lure &mda;.
Lu Zhanyan pondered for a moment, and then said with a smile, "Since this is the case, then I am willing to accompany Mr. Twilight to attend the social occasion." ”
This was Qin Duyun's stunned, only to feel that he was confused by her language maze, and he had fallen into a trap.
"Secretary Lu, has anyone ever said you're smart?" Qin Duyun smiled helplessly, but admired her.
Many people have praised her for being smart, but there is only one person, except for Qin Shijin.
Lu Zhanyan's smile brightened, "Mr. Twilight praised him." ”
"No wonder Mr. Jin appointed you as the secretary of the General Manager's Office, just by my side, it's really hard for you."
"It's not hard, no matter what position I occupy, I'm an employee of Zhongzheng. By Mr. Twilight's side, I will definitely be responsible for my work. Lu Zhanyan replied softly, even more to himself.
Her position is to be so clear.
Qin Duyun smiled clearly, and said silently, "Secretary Lu, discuss one thing, you can only socialize once a week. ”
"How can one time be enough? Your invitations are almost every day, so be it, at least four times a week! ”
"Once!"
"Three times!"
"Once!"
"Three times!"
“…… Twice, that's the most! Seeing that she was so resolute, Qin Duyun made another concession.
Lu Zhanyan's smile had a hint of cunning, "Deal, twice is twice!" ”
Qin Duyun was stunned again, only to feel as if she had been deceived again, "Secretary Lu, fortunately you are my subordinate, if I negotiate with you, it is estimated that it will be a headache." ”
※※※
However, in the afternoon, after Qin Duyun dealt with the fire incident of the Kedong project, a huge storm came.
Even Lu Zhanyan was surprised, Qin Duyun, who was so warm as water on weekdays, not only reprimanded Hua Gongzi, the person in charge of the project, in the meeting.
He was directly punished and ordered to resign.
Hua Gongzi was blushed by this criticism, and shouted even more displeasedly, "Don't think that if you are the general manager, you really think that you have the right!" Let me tell you, even Qin Shijin would not dare to give this order easily! Do you want to get me out of the middle school? It's not that simple! You wait for me! ”
Hua Gongzi roared arrogantly, only three words in exchange for Qin Duyun's smile, "I'll wait." ”
Hua Gongzi was angry and left in disgrace.
Seeing the people leaving, Lu Zhanyan frowned and said, "Mr. Dusk, you ...... just now"
Qin Duyun said indifferently, "Secretary Lu, I don't know how I behaved just now?" ”
It's indeed extraordinary in terms of momentum, but in this way, doesn't it offend people? That Hua Gongzi is not an ordinary person......
"Mr. Dusk, do you know who that Director Hua is?" Lu Zhanyan said hurriedly.
Everyone knows about this person in charge.
In fact, even Lu Zhanyan knew that Hua Gongzi was indeed not a talent, if it weren't for the fact that his father was Hua Lao, Qin Shijin would have kicked him out a long time ago. It's just that for the sake of the director's face, it's not good to do too much, so he is in charge of the company.
"The son of Hua Lao, one of the directors of the company." Qin Duyun said warmly, pointing out the key.
"Why do you want to fire him when you know?" Lu Zhanyan is unbelievable, isn't this just offending people?
"Secretary Lu, didn't you say that being too generous will make the employees who make mistakes have a fluke mentality. I think sometimes, it's necessary to make an example. Qin Duyun said with a smile.
Lu Zhanyan was dumbfounded, and he had nothing to say.
Is this what it means to shoot yourself in the foot?
Even Qin Shijin didn't start a person, but Qin Duyun resigned at once, and the turmoil swept in.
Once again, Lu Zhanyan was invited to the deputy general office.
"Explain clearly! What the hell is going on! Qin Shijin questioned her, his brows were cold, and his anger was hidden.
Lu Zhanyan was silent, "Mr. Twilight thinks that punishment should be strict......
"Yan Ming? Don't you know that he is the son of Hua Lao! ”
"Mr. Twilight has his own rights to measure."
"What a measure of equity." Qin Shijin said quietly.
"Knock knock!" At this time, there was a knock on the door, and Qin Shijin let out a low and cold snort, "Come in!" ”
The person who came in later was none other than Hua Gongzi who took Hua Lao to kill a horse pistol.
"Shijin, Qin Er has just come back, and he still doesn't understand many things."
"Hua Lao, you are right, but you also know that the company has strict rewards and punishments."
"Yes, of course I know. But when you're in charge, there's nothing out of the ordinary. ”
"Hua Lao, this time the situation is more troublesome."
The three of them sat on the sofa talking and laughing, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious. But when you take a closer look, the stalemate is hidden. Hua Gongzi sat beside Hua Lao and was silent, but Hua Lao was talking sincerely. In the end, it is the old rivers and lakes, and Qin Shijin has been defeated several times in the past.
But this time it doesn't seem to work.
"Don't deceive people too much!" Hua Gongzi was annoyed and angry.
His movements were too fast, and he hooked Lu Zhanyan when he raised his hand. She was handing over the teacup, and when she didn't pay attention, the hot tea splashed on the back of her hand, causing her to frown.
Hua Lao immediately drank, and Hua Gongzi also realized that he was too reckless, but he couldn't say anything to apologize, so he had to sit down.
"It's okay, I was careless." Lu Zhanyan said softly, hurriedly put down the tea set, took out a few tissues and hurriedly wiped the water stains for himself.
Qin Shijin was silent and glanced sideways at her.
The back of her hand was already reddened.
How can an already fair skin withstand such hot boiling water.
And it was obvious that the person who burned the pain was not himself, but Qin Shijin felt that the pain had penetrated into his heart, making him impetuous.
