Chapter 3: Father-daughter affection
Shen Linxi's mood suddenly stirred, and tears of excitement flashed in her eyes. It's no wonder that Taili sent them to form a film crew to come to this country for interviews. Dad, they're really making a name for themselves here. Her heart was even more urgent at this point.
Shen Jinghao had a busy day, and before leaving the construction site, he made some more arrangements before dragging his tired body back to his bachelor apartment.
His apartment is located in a four-story apartment building with a construction area of more than 2,000 square meters, a ten-minute drive from the engineering headquarters. The living environment here is naturally not the same as those dormitories in the project department. As the person in charge, he has an exclusive suite with an area of 60 square meters.
However, today he felt a little special, in the corridor of the apartment building, he met several subordinates, and they all cast strange looks at him, which made him a little confused.
"Xiao Xing, what's going on?" Before he stepped into his room, he intercepted a technician.
The young technician flashed, "It's nothing." β
His heart was still tight: "Is it really okay?" β
"It's okay, it's okay, at least it's not bad!" The technician quickly flashed.
He shook his head at the technician's back, walked to his apartment door, and reached for the keys in his pocket. Suddenly, he felt that something was not right, the door was actually hidden.
Could it be that there are uninvited guests inside?
His heart was excited, and he immediately pushed open the doorβ
Everything in the room left him dumbfounded.
What was once a messy room has completely changed. Due to the huge pressure, every time he came back, he was physically and mentally exhausted, and he no longer cared about the cleanliness of the room. He was used to staying in such a space, and as long as outsiders entered, he couldn't bear the smell at all. Colleagues in private describe the room as a 'pig's nest'. He didn't care, and he never invited outsiders in.
Now, the room where I once couldn't get off my feet was suddenly empty, everything was staggered, and the familiar musty smell was gone, replaced by a faint boudoir smell. What made him feel excited was that this boudoir fragrance was so familiar, and even the furnishings in the house seemed familiar.
His eyes couldn't help but blur, as if a familiar woman's voice and smile were looking at him with a smile, making him cry out loudly: "Rong Rong!" β
However, with his shout, the shadow disappeared for a moment, but a familiar call came from behind him: "Dad! β
He was shocked, and slowly turned around, and a young girl behind the door was staring at him with teary eyes. It made his heart surge, and it was like in a dream, and he lost his voice and shouted: "Xixi! β
Shen Linxi hadn't seen his father for almost three years, and when he looked at him again, it was like a world away. My father has changed too much, his once full black hair has turned silver-gray, his body is unusually thin, and his expression is haggard. You must know that my father used to be a man in the wind in Yushu, and he looked better than Pan An. What kind of circumstances did you go through that made my father so vicissitudes?
"Daddy!"
She pounced emotionally and was instantly held tightly in her arms by her father.
After a burst of passion for family reunion. She sat down side by side with her father. She still leaned her head on her father's shoulder.
Shen Jinghao never dreamed that his baby daughter would come suddenly, it has been three years, and he has lived a life of exile, and he has missed several opportunities to meet his daughter. Today's reunion of his relatives made him immersed in joy for a long time, and it was not until a long time that he questioned: "How did you get here?" β
"Dad, I was assigned to an internship at the TV station after graduation, and I just had such an opportunity to follow my colleagues in the station."
"Did you join the interview group?"
"Well, you didn't expect that, right? That's how we father and daughter meet. β
Shen Jinghao fell into deep thought again.
Shen Linxi thought for a moment: "Listening to the people in the consulate, you are reluctant to be interviewed?" β
Shen Jinghao hesitated for a moment before explaining: "Although the first phase of the port construction project is over, the next task is still very arduous. I don't want to waste my time. β
Shen Linxi hurriedly explained: "Accepting interviews and participating in the recording of our film crew's programs is also an important thing, and it is not a waste of time. No matter how busy you are, you can always find a little time, right? β
Shen Jinghao pondered for a long time before he smiled: "Okay, I have to give my baby daughter a little face." β
"Daddy!"
Shen Linxi stabbed his head into his shoulder socket again.
Shen Jinghao was full of worries again: "Girl? β
"Huh?"
"Have you seen your mom lately?"
Shen Linxi nodded slightly: "Well, I saw it once at my grandfather's house a year ago." She is now in North Africa. β
Shen Jinghao's eyes moistened: "She is still so busy, living a life without a fixed place." β
"Dad, do you miss her so much?"
"I... I haven't seen her for more than a year. And the last time we met...
"Dad, it can be seen that your feelings for her are still so deep, why can't you be together?"
Shen Jinghao closed his eyes in pain and did not answer his daughter's question.
The daughter could see that her father's thoughts were struggling, and she couldn't bear to ask questions, so she hesitated for a moment before she was concerned: "Your life is too embarrassing, there should be a woman by your side." β
Shen Jinghao couldn't help but smile bitterly: "I'm here to work, not to live." Among my brothers, apart from a few pairs of dual-income workers, who has a family with them? β
The daughter was very curious: "Dad, do you and your subordinates call each other brothers?" β
Shen Jinghao held his head for a while, and finally said: "What I have experienced with them, you can't imagine. We have long had feelings of affliction between us. β
It was late at night, and Shen Linxi had to rush back to the International Hotel. Shen Jinghao sent him outside all the time, and personally assigned his own special car to send his daughter.
When his daughter said that he could take a taxi back, he flatly refused: "It's getting late now, and it's not safe for you to ride alone with a girl." Just let Uncle Yang give you a ride. β
The daughter had to obey her father's arrangement, but before getting in the car, she didn't forget to remind her: "Before you are interviewed, you must take care of yourself." Because you're going to be photogenic. β
Shen Jinghao smiled slightly bitterly, staring at his daughter in the car, his eyes full of affection.
When he returned to his room, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.
Before going to bed, he flipped through the photo album of his mobile phone, and soon pulled out a beautiful jade photo of a woman. He admired it with a look of satisfaction, and he never got tired of looking at it. Eventually, let the phone screen lock that photo and put it next to the pillow.
The driver who sent Shen Linxi back to the hotel was still the middle-aged man, and he naturally interacted with her on the road. From the driver's mouth, she inquired about her father's usual deeds, which made her sigh.
Back at the hotel, Zhang Yin had finished bathing and was waiting for her on the comfortable Simmons bed.
Shen Linxi pursed her lips at her: "Sister Zhang, haven't rested yet?" β
Zhang Yin glanced at her: "You are a girl who doesn't return late at night, can I sleep peacefully?" β
"You're worried about me?"
"What do you say? You promised me to come back soon. But you lost your word. β
"Why didn't you call me?"
"Look at your phone, is there still electricity? If you don't come back in another hour, I'm going to call the police. β
Shen Linxi took out her mobile phone from her bag and looked at it, and sure enough, it was so. However, her expression was not apologetic, but full of pride: "Although I came back late, I helped our film crew do a big thing!" β
