Jerry's office.

Jerry casually leaned against the large desk and looked at Tong En in front of him.

Tong En held a cup of coffee in her hand, standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window overlooking the rows of buildings outside the window, the sunlight spilled on her through the glass curtain wall, and the strong light formed a dazzling circle of light around her, stabbing her eyes half-squinting.

Such a familiar image reminded Jerry of the moment when they first met.

On the tall steps of the school library, an unrealistically beautiful Oriental woman stood in the October sun, the bright afterglow of autumn covering her with a pale orange halo, her eyes half-squinted, holding a large stack of freshly borrowed books in her arms, the scene made Jerry's healthy heart stop beating for several seconds.

"You're always like this, you don't want anyone to help you with anything."

Jerry looked at her with a slightly lost gaze.

Tong En looked back and smiled: "This is my motherland, I lived here for the first twenty years, and you are afraid that I will lose it." ”

"Then you have to at least give me a call, you're good, even your mobile phone is turned off, there is no way to contact you."

"Sorry Jerry, I replaced my phone with a domestic number, the original number is an international roaming here, how expensive!" Tong En said a little shyly.

"You, I really can't help you." Jerry spread his hands and said helplessly.

Tong En smiled apologetically and turned to look out the window.

How could she not know that Jerry cared about her. But she couldn't tell him that she had turned it off on purpose.

It's been five years, and the wound that I thought had healed a long time ago was bloodily torn open at the moment the plane landed.

Walking out of the airport, she barely managed to call her mother, saying that she had changed the date for something temporary, and would go back two days later, and then turned off her mobile phone, cut off all contact with the outside world, and curled up alone in the hotel room, silently licking the bloody wounds.

Two days later, when she stood in front of her mother with a bright smile and a bright smile, she knew that the wound would never heal.

Jerry looked at the slender back in front of the window with some distress, for some reason, he felt that Tong En, who had returned to China, had lost his heartiness and cheerfulness in the United States, and his straight back seemed to be a little sad.

Jerry was confused, wondering if he had done something wrong by insisting on transferring her back to China.

"When, when" two gentle knocks on the door.

"Please come in." Jerry retracted his somewhat troubled thoughts and turned to look at the door.

Xu Hui walked in with a stack of papers.

"Mr. Thornton, you made an appointment with General Manager Shen of Shencheng Company for lunch at noon today, this is the information you asked for yesterday."

"Oh my God, how did I forget. Xu, please call General Manager Shen for me, and say that I have something to reschedule, I'm very sorry. ”

Xu Hui said with some embarrassment: "It's almost eleven o'clock, isn't it a little late to call now?" ”

Jerry thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll call him personally." As he spoke, he reached for the phone.

"Jerry." Tong En stopped him.

"Jerry, you've already made an appointment, how can you just change it? It's not like your work style. Tong En smiled and shook his head.

"But you just arrived today, and I have to pick you up and wash the dust." Jerry said stubbornly with the phone in one hand.

Tong En smiled, "You will soon follow the local customs." I'm not leaving, I'm always happy to accompany you if you like to have a treat so much. ”

Jerry hesitated, and finally put down the phone, "Okay then, I'll listen to you." ”

"Tong En, I'll take you to see your office, it's the second room on the right side of this room, and now we can finally work together."

"Jerry." Tong En pointed to the document that Xu Hui had placed on the table.

"With an hour to go before the date, do you want to make small talk to your collaborator without knowing anything? It's okay to ask the secretary to take me there, and you should be able to work with peace of mind now. ”

"Okay." Jerry reluctantly picked up the papers on the table.

"Xu, please take Tong En to her office, see if she needs anything, and tell me immediately."

"Okay."

Xu Hui promised to turn to Tong En, "Assistant Tong, let's go?" ”

"Okay."

Tong En put down the coffee cup, and the two of them walked out the door together.

Just a few steps out of the door, Jerry rushed out of the door: "Xu Hui, cancel all the appointments in the evening for me immediately, and in addition, book two seats for me in Maxim, 7 o'clock in the evening." ”
