Chapter Forty-Nine: The Road to Rivalry is Narrow
Just when everyone thought that everything was settled, the heavens played another subtle joke with them.
"Wait a minute!"
"Xiaojing, hurry up." Colleague Xu Yilin pressed the elevator while urging Xiaojing vigorously.
"It's good to have you." Xiaojing gasped and carefully squeezed into the last gap in the elevator.
In the far corner of the elevator, a tall figure silently paid attention to the movement in front of him. At first, he thought he had misheard again, but when he saw that the man who came in was accurate, his heart was full of surprise and surprise. He never imagined that on the first day of employment, he would meet her again like this.
This was the first time he had seen her in professional attire, with a white shirt and a black tight skirt, looking simple and capable, her hair was permed into slightly curls, and she looked a little more mature and intellectual than before.
"Why are you late today?"
"The subway can't be crowded for half a day."
"Didn't the five good gentlemen in your family send you?"
"In the elevator." Xiaojing made a silent gesture.
Hearing this, the figure behind him couldn't help frowning slightly. Although he had already known the news that Xiaojing and Chen Ling were together, when he heard it with his own ears, he still felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
"Ding", the elevator reached the same floor, Yu Yang watched Xiaojing and her colleagues rush out of the elevator and run towards their new company.
It can't be such a coincidence, right? He couldn't believe his eyes.
"Wow, it's so lively, why are everyone rushing to the conference room?" As soon as she got out of the elevator, Xu Yilin was shocked by the posture in front of her.
"You two don't hurry up, the general manager will meet later. Hurry up, don't be late! ”
"Got it." As they spoke, they hurriedly put down their things and hurried to the conference room.
About five minutes later, the company's human resources director led in a young man in a gray suit, the man was handsome and straight, and he had a pair of piercing eyes on the bridge of his high nose, looking charming and attractive. Many girls were stunned.
Seeing Yu Yang for the first time, Xiaojing didn't even understand what was going on. Her expression suddenly vanished and went blank.
"This is our new Mr. Yu, everyone is welcome!" The director of human resources introduced. Everyone was applauding, but Xiaojing, who was hiding in the crowd, did not.
In front of everyone, he looks so familiar and so unfamiliar. He was still the same face, smiling at everyone, and the smile was full of depth and steady, like the one she had known before.
His gaze was about to sweep over her, and she instinctively backed away, trying to hide herself in the crowd.
"Wow, the new general manager is so handsome." Xu Yilin easily turned her head to Xiaojing and said, but found that Xiaojing had retreated to the corner behind her.
"I heard I'm not married!" There was another girl next to her.
Xiaojing, who was standing behind her, listened to their discussions, and then she remembered that the alumni of G University they were talking about a week ago turned out to be him. At this moment, her mind was in chaos? He's not married? Is he here by chance or deliberately? What the hell did he want, the more she thought about it, the more she couldn't figure it out.
Returning to her position, Xiaojing couldn't calm down for a long time. She stared blankly at the project on the computer, but she couldn't concentrate on the task at hand.
"Manager Lu, you have a new situation." Colleague Xiao Zhang stared straight at the ring on her hand.
"Wow, what a beautiful diamond ring, don't share it with us if you have good news. Xiaojing, you're too uninteresting. ”
Their unintentional ridicule made Xiaojing notice the ring in her hand, the ring she had only worn a few days ago, but it was glowing coldly in the sun.
She looked down and rubbed the ring in her hand, and she felt how ridiculous she was, she was already engaged, and yet she was still disturbed by him. His appearance surprised her, confused her, and even annoyed her, what did this man want to do?
He has become his own boss, won't he look up and see him in the future, she thinks about it, she feels that this scene is unimaginable, all this is too sudden, so that she is a little overwhelmed. Her mind felt like a mess, and she had to run to the bathroom to wash her face with cold water, and she needed to calm herself down.
When she looked up at herself in the mirror, there seemed to be another person standing behind her in the mirror, looking at her with a loving smile, and she turned around in fright, only to find that there was nothing.
That scene had appeared too many times in her dreams, and this daylight also appeared, she really wanted to feel that she was stunned, she shook her head vigorously, and told herself in her heart: Lu Xiaojing, be awake, be sober!
When she returned to her position, she forced herself to continue the unfinished project, which was due tomorrow, and she could not be distracted at this time.
When returning to the office, Yu Yang deliberately bypassed Xiaojing's row, in order to confirm that he was not dazzled, it was the real her in front of her own eyes. As he watched her sit in front of the computer, he felt his heart beating a little faster than before, a familiar heartbeat. He smiled lightly in his heart before happily returning to his office.
In a few moments, waves of people came in and out of his office, and soon, all his energy was filled with overwhelming work. Over the years, he has developed rigorous work habits, and when he first arrived, he had too much to contact and know, and too many things to be familiar with and take over.
The people around her have left after work, and Xiaojing is still rushing to her own plan. It wasn't until she heard someone say goodbye to Yu Yang that she came back to her senses.
"Mr. Yu, you haven't gone back yet?" The girl who said goodbye to her deliberately walked around to Yu Yang's office and asked with concern.
Xiaojing followed the sound and found that the light in Yu Yang's office was still on, and he was buried in the information.
Hearing that someone came to say hello, he looked at his watch and responded, "Oh, it's coming, you can go back first." ”
"Mr. Yu, you haven't eaten yet, this is the three shares I just called, you also eat a little, the body is the capital of the revolution!" It could be seen that the girl was courting Yu Yang.
Yu Yang raised his head and said thank you, motioned for the girl to put the food on the table, and then lowered his head and continued his work. The girl didn't react to him, just concentrated on her work, said goodbye in frustration, and left.
After a while, Mr. Chen, the chief financial officer, went into Yu Yang's office again, and reported to Yu Yang, Mr. Chen talked endlessly, Yu Yang listened attentively, and then compared Mr. Chen's information, and Mr. Chen nodded frequently after listening. It was the financial director who was arrogant in the company, but in front of him he was like a peaceful and obedient child.
Is that Yu Yang? She couldn't believe her eyes. That kind of Yu Yang made her feel a little distant, she had never seen him like when he was working. When he was working, he was very focused and confident, and his face glowed with a calmness and calmness that she had never seen, which was given to him by the ten years of separation, which was different from before, but just as attractive.
Ten years, there are too many years of gap between them. What he has experienced in the past ten years, what has made him change so much, she can't help but be a little curious.
When she was thinking about it while looking at him like this, she saw him get up to send Mr. Chen out, only to find that she was distracted again, and hurriedly buried her head and tapped the keyboard again.
After waiting for Mr. Chen, he subconsciously looked at Xiaojing's seat, she was still working overtime! He saw her staring at the computer, the keyboard clattering, still the same serious as when she was in school.
He looked at the crowded office and hesitated how to say hello to her, each time their reunion was so sudden that he was caught off guard.
Xiaojing's phone rang before him.
When he saw her, he picked up the phone and said, "Okay, I'll be fine right away, and I'll be down in a while." Listening to her voice, he knew who was calling, and he walked back to the office a little frustrated.
He looked out of the window and saw a man waiting downstairs with an umbrella, and he didn't have to guess to know that the person was Chen Ling.
When Chen Ling saw Xiaojing coming down, he stepped forward to greet her, put the umbrella in his hand on her body, and then walked to the car parked on the side of the road with his shoulder.
He helped her open the car door, and when she got into the car, he put away his umbrella and sat back in the car. This small detail shows that he cares about her.
In a world without him, there is someone to shield her from the wind and rain, and this was once his exclusive use. Watching them go in and out of pairs, his heart was entangled with complex emotions, both relieved and disappointed.
"Honey, what's wrong? Tired? Seeing that Xiaojing hadn't moved since she got into the car, Chen Ling asked with concern.
"Oh yes, I'm a little tired of writing a plan." Xiaojing knew that she was a little out of shape again, so she followed his words and came back.
"I'll give you a massage when I go back."
"Hmm." She looked at him and sighed in her heart. She wanted to tell Chen Ling about meeting Yu Yang today, but she didn't know how to express it, and she was confused about it.
