Today, every Friday, Liu Shaohui will always have all kinds of excuses to let An Zhiyu stay in the company for a while.

He knew that An Zhiyu had a boyfriend, but he had never seen him, and he heard from colleagues in the company that she had been dating her boyfriend for half a year. Liu Shaohui has only been in the company for two months, and two months is not long, nor is it short, but he has never seen a real person, and he has not come to the company to pick her up for half a year, so he subconsciously feels that either An Zhiyu and this boyfriend have a normal relationship, or this boyfriend is just a trick.

When it was almost five o'clock, Liu Shaohui gave An Zhiyu another job, saying that he would do it at night.

He is the manager of the work schedule, and An Zhiyu can't refuse.

When it was almost eight o'clock, Liu Shaohui came in with a bag.

Inside the bag was a square box, which he put in An Zhiyu's hand: "Strawberry cake, if you are hungry, please pad your stomach first." ”

The work he arranged for An Zhiyu in the afternoon couldn't be finished for a while.

An Zhiyu smiled: "Thank you, Manager Liu, but I have an uncomfortable throat recently, so I can't eat sweet." ”

She always had various reasons to reject him.

Liu Shaohui is used to listening to it, but when he gets used to it, he still feels uncomfortable.

He's not in bad condition.

Liu Shaohui felt that his slowly intrusive pursuit method would impress her sooner or later, and it was only a matter of time.

So in the face of An Zhiyu's rejection again, Liu Shaohui acted as if he hadn't heard it, he stood behind An Zhiyu and didn't leave, watching her skillfully enter the price of each item in the form.

It is a project budget, although it is An Zhiyu's strength, but there is a lot of work, and she can't finish it all night.

"It's almost eight o'clock, if you can't finish it, let's do it tomorrow."

Tomorrow is Saturday.

An Zhiyu stopped what he was doing and turned his head to look at him: "Manager Liu, I have other things to do tomorrow, and I can't come." ”

"And the day after tomorrow?"

"Not the day after tomorrow, I'm going to a foreign country, and I'm going to stay there for two days." An Zhiyu simply blocked his back road.

As a result, Liu Shaohui directly threw the question to her: "Then what about this budget?" ”

An Zhiyu replied with ease: "I try to stay up late tonight to finish it." ”

This budget is not a project of the company, so this can only be regarded as a help, and since it is a help, he should not be too embarrassed by himself.

Liu Shaohui naturally won't embarrass her, he is chasing people, not putting small shoes on her.

But since the job has been assigned to her, it is impossible for him to take it back by slapping his face again.

Liu Shaohui said honestly: "I'm also doing my friend a favor, next Monday, you give it to me on Monday morning." ”

An Zhiyu nodded: "Okay." ”

Liu Shaohui took out two shopping cards from his pocket and put them on her desk: "I won't let you be busy in vain, you can keep the cards first." ”

The amount is written on the card, two thousand each, just a budget, or not so much.

However, An Zhiyu did not refuse: "Thank you, Manager Liu, I'll take it home later." "Since she gave the money, it was private work, and she never did private work in the company.

Liu Shaohui said yes, but he also caught the loophole: "It just so happens that I want to leave too, send you." ”

"No, it's convenient for me to take the subway."

"Don't give me face as a manager?"

He said this with a smile, but he could hear that he was pressuring him with his status as a manager.

An Zhiyu forced a smile on the corner of his mouth and took it back a little.

That's when the phone on the table shook.

Last time, An Zhiyu rejected Liu Shaohui on the grounds of her boyfriend's phone call, but this time Liu Shaohui paid more attention, and looked at her mobile phone screen for a second.

"Strange calls," he said, "could be advertising pitches or something." ”

An Zhiyu glanced up at him and smiled, "Maybe." ”

But she still answered, "Hello, who?" ”

"I'm Jin Zhou."

An Zhiyu was stunned for a moment, took away the phone and looked at it again, she wanted to ask him how he had his own phone, but when the words came to her lips, she asked again: "Is there something wrong?" ”

"It's not a big deal, I just wanted to ask if you're at home right now."

"No, I'm still in the company, but I'll be back soon."

Jin Zhou looked up at the office building with more than 30 floors high and an all-glass curtain wall, "I happen to be downstairs in your company, do you want to stop by?" ”

In fact, before coming, Jin Zhou had already returned home.

The reason why he came to her company was just to try his luck.

An Zhiyu's workstation happened to be facing away from the window, and when he said this, he reflexively got up from his chair.

There were quite a few cars parked in the parking space downstairs, but one car was parked by the garden.

An Zhiyu saw him at a glance.

He was wearing a black suit and a dazzling white shirt, and he was standing next to a black SUV.

At that moment, Jin Zhou raised his head again.

The lights in the square were as bright as day, and his person, as well as his face, were clearly shrunk in An Zhiyu's pupils.

He was not asked how he would know his mobile phone number, nor was he asked why he knew his business address.

I just felt that every time she was in deep trouble, he could just appear.

"You wait for me for a few minutes, and I'll pack my things and come down."

The mobile phone attached to his ear was slowly taken down, Jin Zhou didn't know if she could see him smiling at her, but he still bent the corners of his lips and said yes: "Don't worry, I'll wait for you." ”

"Manager Liu."

Liu Shaohui was also looking downstairs, retracting his gaze, he turned his head.

"My friend came to pick me up, so I'll leave first."

The so-called 'a slap also pays back a date'.

She put the two cards that Liu Shaohui put on the table, accepted one, and pushed one back: "Thank you for the budget, don't worry, I will do it very carefully." ”

Liu Shaohui didn't speak, and his gaze fell back to the square downstairs.

He is a little short-sighted, and he takes off his glasses when he is not working, so the man downstairs, he can see blurry, and as for the license plate, he can't see it clearly at all.

An Zhiyu got out of the elevator and trotted all the way.

Jin Zhou's car happened to be parked next to the garden facing the gate downstairs, and when he saw her running out of it, Jin Zhou took a few steps forward.

I wanted to say it slowly, but when I saw her panting, I couldn't help but laugh first.

It was An Zhiyu, who spoke first: "Thank you!" An Zhiyu especially wanted to look upstairs, but held back.

An imperceptible surprise flashed in Jin Zhou's eyes.

He thought that An Zhiyu would ask him several reasons first.

But to prevent her from asking again later, Jin Zhou chose not to confess: "I asked people to inquire about your mobile phone number and company address, it's a bit rude, I'm sorry." ”

There is no need to ask, it must have been asked from Xu Huaizheng.

An Zhiyu didn't care too much, after all, these two are not considered private.

But what Jin Zhou didn't expect was her answer.

An Zhiyu's voice was a little quiet: "Fortunately, you called me, otherwise I really don't know how to refuse our manager!" ”

Jin Zhou subconsciously looked up, but his eyes were not focused, and the sleeves on his arms were torn.

"Don't look, he's probably still standing by the window!"

Jin Zhou retracted his gaze: "Does he want you to continue working overtime?" ”

An Zhiyu didn't say anything, and smiled: "Let's go!" ”

Avoiding a problem means that there is a problem.

Jin Zhou looked up again and looked up two more times.

Knowing that she shouldn't have eaten after working overtime, Jin Zhou pretended to mention casually: "I suddenly remembered that you seemed to say that you wanted to invite me to dinner before." ”

He said [suddenly remembered], not "I remember".

So An Zhiyu didn't show much embarrassment on his face: "Then tonight?" ”

Jin Zhou had a faint smile on his face: "It just so happens that I haven't eaten yet." ”

When you invite someone to dinner, you must focus on the other person's taste preferences.

His identity is here, and An Zhiyu thinks he should be very picky, so he proposes several restaurants with good grades.

The first two, An Zhiyu could catch the look of thought and hesitation from his side face, but the third, he agreed happily.

"Do you like something light?"

Just now, the restaurant focuses on smouldering health, and the taste is light, and An Zhiyu has been there a few times.

"I've been sleeping late these nights," he said gently, "it's better for the stomach to be lighter." ”

An Zhiyu has slept very late these days, in fact, not only these days, since she broke up with Xu Huaizheng, she has not slept well during this time.

"Then wait a minute, you can try their ginseng chicken soup, although there are medicinal herbs in it, it tastes very good."

"Do you go often?" Because he was driving, Jin Zhou couldn't look at her every word he said.

An Zhiyu, like him, also looked ahead, "It's not often, but if I stay up late, I'll pack one in advance and take it home." ”

"Do you have to stay up late a lot for your job?" When he turned his head to look, his eyebrows were slightly condensed.

"It's not very often," An Zhiyu lowered his eyes and smiled, "I sometimes take some private work from outside, and I don't have time to do it during the day, so I can only stay up late." ”

Jin Zhou knew the scope of her work, he didn't want to ask knowingly, and he didn't want to be overly concerned about causing her discomfort, so he only said: "Staying up late hurts your body, and I know it myself." ”

It's really bad to stay up late, but who wants to stay up late!

The house she lives in now has to pay off the mortgage every month, and if she doesn't work hard, it's very stressful.

Seeing that she didn't speak for a long time, Jin Zhou was also silent.

The restaurant is on a commercial street called Guang'an Road.

Because the vehicle couldn't get in, Jin Zhou parked the car in a parking space on the side of the road.

On the six-lane road, the red light time at the pedestrian crossing is a bit long.

When Jin Zhou turned his head to look at her, a gust of wind blew, and a few strands of hair were sent into the air by the wind, and he could smell a very faint magnolia fragrance.

It smelled the same as when she came from the opposite side and brushed his shoulder.

The green light came on, and An Zhiyu saw that he was still standing in place.

"Mr. Jin?"

Jin Zhou suddenly came back to his senses, and there was a bit of confusion in his eyes: "Huh? ”

An Zhiyu pointed to the opposite side: "It's a green light." ”

"Oh," he smiled, "I'm sorry, I was thinking about something." ”

The two of them crossed the street and walked towards the restaurant called "Slate Impression".

The transparent white street lamp shone on the gray-white bricks and stones, and although the two were side by side, their shadows did not overlap in the slightest.

Yu Guang withdrew from the ground, and Jin Zhou asked casually: "Do you usually cook by yourself?" ”

He likes to look each other in the eye when he speaks, and he does the same to everyone else, let alone her.

Even if he was standing beside her now, even if he could only see half of her side face, in the short time he was waiting for her to answer, Jin Zhou's eyes were fixed on her face for a moment.

It's just that his gaze is the same as that of his people, who knows how to measure and advance and retreat.

An Zhiyu shook her head: "I live alone, and I feel that it is not as convenient as buying to cook, mainly," her eyebrows and eyes drooped slightly, her eyes were on her toes, probably talking about her shortcomings, and her voice was a little lower than just now: "I don't know how to cook." ”

At some point, the fabric of his arm was able to gently rub against her shoulder, carrying the shadow on the ground.

One high and one low, one wide and one narrow, with occasional overlap.

Jin Zhou looked at the figure on the ground, and the corners of his mouth were crooked.

"What about you?" An Zhiyu turned his head and asked him.

He......

He also doesn't know how to cook.

But he said, "A little." ”

An Zhiyu had obvious surprise in his eyes: "Then do you usually cook and eat by yourself?" ”

"Occasionally." Occasionally, when he doesn't want to go out to eat, he cooks some quick food.

After a few casual conversations, the two walked to the door of the restaurant.

Jin Zhou opened the glass door and entered one step behind her.

The restaurant is elegantly decorated, and there is a false plant in the middle of the hall.

"Is it okay to sit there?"

"Yes."

The dish was ordered by An Zhiyu, "Do you have any taboos?" ”

Jin Zhou shook his head: "No." ”

Although there were only two of them, they couldn't slack off when they invited someone to dinner, so An Zhiyu ordered a ginseng chicken soup, two special stir-fries, and a steamed fish.

When he returned the menu to the waiter, An Zhiyu suddenly remembered: "Is there something you are looking for me today?" ”

Jin Zhou put the lemonade he had just poured in front of her: "I saw the note you left for me in the morning." ”

Speaking of this, An Zhiyu lowered his eyelashes.

Jin Zhou knew what she was worried about: "With me here, don't worry." ”

The warm timbre is very reassuring to listen to.

In fact, even if he doesn't say anything or do anything, just stand there, as long as she stands by his side, this 'battle', she will win.

Although this battle has no substantive significance.

But there is a good saying, people live with a face, and trees live with a skin......

"Mr. Jin?"

Suddenly, a male voice interrupted An Zhiyu's distraction.

Turning her head, a man stood behind her with a small child in his arms.

"Why are you here?" Seeing Cen Song in such a healthy restaurant, Jin Zhou was also unexpectedly arrived.

"What's so strange about me bringing my son to dinner, but you..."Cen Song's tone was faint, and a pair of eyes looked at An Zhiyu's face.

"My friend, Cen Song."

An Zhiyu could see from Jin Zhou's informal words that this man should have a good relationship with him.

She bowed her head to the other party and politely said hello.

Jin Zhou glanced behind him twice: "Yan Yan didn't come out with you?" ”

"She's sleeping at home," Cen Song pulled out the chair next to him and sat down: "My son is at home, I'm afraid she won't sleep well, so I brought it out." ”

Jin Zhou stretched out his hand and poked the little guy's face: "Then I'll add two more dishes, and you can eat some together." ”

"No, I'll pack it and take it with me."

The little guy in Cen Song's arms looked at An Zhiyu vigorously, looked at it, and suddenly stretched out his little hand: "Mom......"

Cen Song pressed the little guy's hand: "Don't shout, your mother is only one in the world!" ”

An Zhiyu pursed his lips and smiled.

Jin Zhou poured him a glass of water, and then introduced unhurriedly: "This is my friend, An Zhiyu." ”

was classified by him as a 'friend', An Zhiyu was quite surprised, their relationship, is it a friend, at most it is a neighbor.

Of course, not only was she surprised, but Cen Song, who had been his brother for more than 20 years, also laughed incredible.

"When did you have a female friend?"

Jin Zhou lifted his eyelids and glanced at him.

That's what it means to warn him not to talk nonsense.

As if he hadn't seen it, Cen Song turned his face to look at An Zhiyu: "I guess you are his only female friend." ”

An Zhiyu: "......"

Let him stay any longer, I don't know what else to say, Jin Zhou tactfully ordered the expulsion, but not to Cen Song, but to the little guy in his arms.

"Shuyi, there was candy on the table at the door just now, will you let Dad take you to get it?"

When the little guy heard this, he immediately hugged his father's neck: "Dad, I want to eat candy..."

Yes, this is because he is in the way here, and he is driving people away!

Cen Song returned him with a 'I understand, I understand' expression, and hugged his son, "Then you eat slowly, let's go first." ”

Although the brother is ruthless, he cannot be unrighteous.

When they arrived at the bar, Cen Song paid for their table of meals.

There is sugar on the stage, but it is mint candy, how can this be eaten by his son, Cen Song coaxed gently: "Sugar and Dad, you choose one." ”

When the little guy heard this, he immediately put his arms around his father's neck: "I choose Dad." ”

The dishes ordered, Jin Zhou received a text message, just one line of words, which made him laugh.

"What's wrong?"

The corners of Jin Zhou's mouth pursed a faint arc, and the smile was not obvious, "Today's meal, you can't afford it." ”

An Zhiyu reacted for a few seconds, and his eyebrows suddenly twisted: "Shouldn't it be paid by your friend?" ”

Jin Zhou shrugged his shoulders and looked innocent: "It seems that your meal can only wait for next time." ”

When the words fell, he texted back: [It should be soon. 】
