The green mountains and green waters in the picture are beautiful, and the man has a fishing rod in his hand, which looks very comfortable.

Tao Ting's fingers tightened and she took a deep breath.

"He trusts me." She said to herself, "He wanted to train me." ”

- He must have done this for a reason.

Chapter 13

After late autumn, the warm sun is rare, the sun shines through the car window, Xu Linyue flipped his wrist, opened his five fingers, and stared at the aperture in his palm.

Xu Huiyin and Song Lichao chatted about the family routine between husband and wife, and he sat in the back seat of the car and couldn't speak.

"Anyway, I don't feel at ease when she goes out alone, why is it wrong for me to accompany her in the past?"

"Why do you think she wants to study abroad? I just want to stay away from my parents. Besides, what's wrong with wanting to be independent when the child is older? ”

"Don't change your concept, I didn't say I wouldn't let her be independent." Xu Huiyin turned his head, "Linyue, what do you say?" ”

Hearing his name, Xu Linyue raised his eyes and came back to his senses: "What? ”

Xu Huiyin asked him, "Did you go abroad to escape from your parents?" ”

Without waiting for Xu Linyue to speak, Song Lichao answered for him first: "I think he wants to escape from you, after all, you brought it up." ”

Xu Huiyin rolled his eyes and hated him: "You don't talk nonsense." ”

Xu Linyue smiled: "Qingqing wants to go abroad, let her go, it's not like I'm leaving tomorrow, maybe I'll change my mind in two days." ”

Xu Huiyin said worriedly: "It's not that I won't let her go out, when she is really mature and independent, I won't care where she wants to go." ”

As a person who came over, Xu Linyue could probably guess his niece's thoughts, he smiled without saying a word, and turned his head to look at the dead branches and leaves flashing outside the car window.

"Does Minfu have any contact with you?"

Xu Linyue restrained the smile at the corner of his mouth and asked rhetorically: "Why are you contacting me?" ”

Xu Huiyin said: "When you return to China, I think she will always care about you." ”

Xu Linyue replied lightly: "The greatest respect for your ex is not to disturb each other after breaking up." ”

Xu Huiyin sighed: "In the workplace love field, you must have something to make me feel at ease." ”

Song Lichao glanced at his brother-in-law sympathetically through the rearview mirror, and he couldn't interject at this moment.

"I ran into Shuxin two days ago while shopping, and she said Minfu would come back this winter vacation." Xu Huiyin looked at the person in the back seat of the car, "She doesn't care about you, you don't care about people?" ”

Xu Linyue lowered his eyes and said, "She dumped me, won't I be annoyed if I go again?" ”

"Why did people break up with you, don't you know in your heart?"

Xu Linyue had a headache when he mentioned these: "I don't have the heart to care about these now, the two of us have been talking for six years, and we have been in a foreign country for five years, and the relationship has faded early, and it is impossible to get back together." ”

Before Xu Huiyin lowered his face to reprimand him, Xu Linyue softened his tone and said, "Sister, your brother's market is not so sluggish, don't worry too much." ”

"That's right." Song Lichao hurriedly helped, "Linyue is so good, the love field and workplace are all rushed by others, what are you not at ease with?" ”

The car stopped at the gate of the manor, Xu Huiyin was pulled away by an acquaintance as soon as he got out of the car, Song Lichao took out a cigarette case from his pocket, took out one and handed it to Xu Linyue.

"Quit it." Xu Linyue pushed his hand and refused.

"Before, your sister always said that she couldn't sleep well, and she accompanied her to a physical examination two days ago, and the doctor said that there was nothing wrong with her body, she just loved to worry." Song Lichao turned the lighter and lit the cigarette tail, "Two daughters and one brother of you, she has to take care of them." ”

Xu Linyue put his hands in his coat pockets, raised his legs and stepped up the steps: "When I was a child, I was afraid of my parents and her parents, the more she took care of me, the more I wanted to escape, and the more I escaped, the more she had to take care of me." ”

Song Lichao smiled: "What your sister told me is that without her, you would have been a bastard a long time ago." ”

Xu Linyue raised his eyebrows, pondered carefully, and then nodded and said, "It seems that he is not wrong." ”

Song Lichao patted him on the shoulder: "Bo Yongzhang must be fishing by the lake, and my uncle is probably there, I'll go find your sister." ”

Xu Linyue raised his voice to remind him: "Disperse the smell of smoke and then go." ”

Built five years ago, Murray Manor was a gift from his half-lived uncle to his new wife, nestled away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

This is the first time Xu Linyue has come, the long corridor bridge leads to the shore of the lake, he walked and visited the surrounding buildings, frequently shaking his head and sighing.

This manor has been spent on blood and thought, is there really a prodigal son in this world to look back.

From a distance, I saw three or five men sitting side by side on the shore, Xu Linyue stepped on the lawn, and walked straight towards Yin Yutang, with a smile on the corner of his mouth and shouting, "Uncle." ”

"Linyue is coming?" Yin Yutang stood up, took his shoulders familiarly, and introduced to his friend, "This is my nephew, Xu Linyue." ”

He asked Xu Linyue to call people one by one, and when it was Bo Yongzhang's turn, the other party spoke to Xu Linyue first: "Leon, right?" ”

"Yes, you remember me." Xu Linyue bent down and stretched out his right hand to him.

Bo Yongzhang changed the fishing rod to his left hand and held him back: "Of course." ”

Yin Yutang's best skill is to pretend to be stupid, he widened his eyes and said in surprise: "What, you two know each other?" ”

"I met at the headquarters the year before last." Bo Yongzhang said to Yin Yutang, "Your nephew is very good. ”

Yin Yutang patted his head: "Oh yes, I didn't even think of this stubble, you two are Norbert's." ”

There are not many Chinese people who can meet at work, and Xu Linyue is also impressed by Bo Yongzhang, who looks much older than three years ago, with deep eye sockets, eyes that are not as good as before, and gray hair on his head.

"Well, I'll go inside to see your aunt, and you can talk slowly." Yin Yutang handed the fishing rod in his hand to Xu Linyue, and found a way to leave first.

Xu Linyue took the fishing rod and sat down on the empty folding chair.

"How?" Bo Yongzhang asked him, "Are you still used to it after returning to China?" ”

Xu Linyue said: "It's okay." ”

"Do you know how to fish?"

"I've fished, but I'm not very good."

"You young people don't have the patience to buy things that you can buy directly, and you don't think about getting them in another way."

Xu Linyue smiled.

The wind stirs the surface of the lake and ripples, and the sun shines on the sparkling waves, which is somewhat dazzling to the eyes.

This moment of tranquility was not easy to come by, Xu Linyue slowly breathed in the fresh air, closed his eyes and raised his chin, and let the sun shine on his face.

"What do you want to tell me?"

"Didn't you say that we young people are impatient?" Xu Linyue opened his eyes.

Bo Yongzhang said: "You are not the fish I want to catch. ”

Xu Linyue said unhurriedly: "What other fish are there in the lake this season?" ”

Bo Yongzhang turned his head to look at him and replied, "There are sea bass." ”

"Is it much?"

"Not much, your uncle caught one in the afternoon."

"Uncle has always been lucky."

It's obviously the most ordinary conversation, and each has a ghost in his heart, which always sounds like something else.

Bo Yongzhang knew his intentions, but he didn't bother to bother anymore.

"You don't have to test me, just say it."

On the other side of the lake, Xu Linyue looked into the distance and said, "I said a sentence many years ago, I said that Norbert is old and needs to be younger. When I returned home, I found that Norbert here was not an old problem, but rotten. ”

He didn't continue, Bo Yongzhang must know more about the current situation within the company than him.

The lake calmed down again, and Bo Yongzhang asked coldly, "What do you want to do?" ”

Xu Linyue replied: "You can't control the high-level infighting, I will take care of it, you have a lot of concerns, but I have nothing to care about." ”

Bo Yongzhang turned his head to look at him, just like three years ago, the man's face was cold, with clear contours, and his dark eyes were unfathomable, hiding ambition and arrogance.

"What do you want?" Bo Yongzhang asked.

Xu Linyue said: "I'm not greedy, just go back to my original position." ”

Bo Yongzhang laughed: "After all, you don't belong to the China Department, and I don't have the authority to help you reset." ”

"But you have the right to give me the position of marketing director, that's enough, I'll take care of the rest."

Bo Yongzhang held the fishing rod and did not say anything.

"When I was at HQ, I heard that you had a nickname, do you know that you know it yourself?"

Xu Linyue's expression moved slightly, and he replied, "I know." ”

"Jackel, jackal." Bo Yongzhang looked at the calm and windless lake, "I used to think that they underestimated Asians, but now I think they underestimate you." ”

Seeing Bo Yongzhang standing up and preparing to close the rod, Xu Linyue asked, "Is there a fish that has been hooked?" ”

"No, it looks like I won't be able to catch any fish today, so I'm not wasting any time."

Walking in front of Xu Linyue, Bo Yongzhang stopped, the two men were about the same size, but he was old, his back was not as straight as that of young people, and his momentum was weaker: "Linyue, you don't want my position, right?" ”

Xu Linyue denied it, saying: "Not interested. ”

Bo Yongzhang looked him straight into the eyes, trying to peek into his hidden thoughts: "You know my purpose, I always want to know your motives." ”

"I said, I'm going back to where I was."

"He may not welcome you."

Xu Linyue lowered his eyes and hooked the corners of his mouth, but did not speak.

"The cold wind has been blowing for a long time, and my bones hurt, I'll go back first, what about you?"

"I'll sit down a little longer." Xu Linyue sat back on the folding chair and picked up the fishing rod.

Bo Yongzhang put his hands behind his back and said to him, "Then I wish you good luck." ”

In late autumn, it gets dark early, and as soon as the sun sets, the temperature drops sharply by several degrees.

Xu Linyue walked across the long corridor bridge and returned to the house, where the lights were bright and laughter continued.

"Linyue, here." Song Lichao raised his arm and beckoned to him.
