"Okay, that's all for today's meeting. Let's adjourn..." The manager who presided over the meeting said to the heads of various departments participating in the meeting.
Everyone packed up the documents for the meeting, then got up and left the meeting room.
"Coach Zhou, tomorrow is your last day on a business trip in Tianhai City. Will you go back to your hometown immediately after it is over?" A colleague asked Zhou Yue who was walking beside him.
"Yes! Sister Chen." Zhou Yue said to the head of the logistics department with a smile.
The two of them walked and chatted, separated at the intersection, and Zhou Yue walked to her office.
After returning to her office, Zhou Yue put the documents on the table, then took the coat hanging on the hanger and put it on, then took off the scarf and wrapped it around it.
Picking up her bag, Zhou Yue walked quickly outside the company. She thought to herself that she had to walk faster. Lin Fei and Wang Xiaoru should have been waiting for her for a long time.
The weather outside today was sub-zero. When I walked out of the heated company building, I was immediately hit by the chilly air from the street.
Fortunately, I was wearing a scarf, otherwise the cold air that hit me could not get into my collar.
The snow that fell yesterday has not yet melted today, and the street lights on the street are emitting dim light.
Zhou Yue came out of the office building and walked quickly to the far corner of the street.
"Coach Zhou."
As soon as Zhou Yue took a step forward, she heard someone calling her from behind.
He stopped, turned around and looked behind him, and saw Sun Zhicheng in a suit walking towards her.
"What's the matter?" Zhou Yue, who was rushing to see Lin Fei and Wang Xiaoru, frowned slightly and asked Sun Zhicheng.
"I heard that tomorrow is the last day of your business trip. Will you go back to your hometown immediately after the business trip?" Sun Zhicheng asked.
"Yes."
"Uh... why don't you stay in Tianhai City for a few more days? I remember that during your business trip, you didn't visit any of the attractions in Tianhai City!"
"The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and my parents asked me to go home immediately after my business trip." Zhou Yue said casually. In fact, she only said this to deal with Sun Zhicheng, because her parents had never said such a thing.
"So that's it! Coach Zhou, you can tell your parents that you can stay in Tianhai City for a few days so that you can go back to celebrate the New Year.
During your business trip, you haven't had much fun in various attractions in Tianhai City. I can be a tour guide and take you to various places." Sun Zhicheng said eagerly.
"No, thank you for your kindness. My boyfriend is waiting for me to have dinner. Let's talk next time when we are free!" Zhou Yue said this in order to get rid of Sun Zhicheng who was pestering her.
"Boyfriend?" Sun Zhicheng was stunned for a moment after hearing this. Apparently he didn't expect Zhou Yue to say such things about her boyfriend, because as far as he knew, Zhou Yue didn't seem to have mentioned her boyfriend to his colleagues in the past few months.
Things about friends.
"Coach Zhou, your boyfriend came to Tianhai City?!!!"
"Well, isn't this the end of my business trip? He just came to Tianhai City to do some things, so he planned to go back with me." Zhou Yue replied with a smile.
The smile on her face was full of happiness. This smile was sincere. Although what she said was a lie, now that Lin Fei was back, the big stone in Zhou Yue's heart was relieved.
"Uh..." Sun Zhicheng, who was still thinking about continuing to entangle, suddenly fell silent. He already knew that Coach Zhou's boyfriend was a powerful investigator.
Now that her boyfriend has come to Tianhai City, if he continues to pester her, the consequences will be a bit bad.
Knowing that he had no chance, Sun Zhicheng showed a very stiff smile on his face and said to Zhou Yue, "Then I won't disturb you and your boyfriend's dinner."
After saying that, Sun Zhicheng turned around and left. When he reached the roadside, he got into his sports car, stepped on the accelerator, and the car drove out with a bang.
From the way he stepped on the accelerator as if to vent his anger, it was obvious that his mood was not as bad as usual. Now he was going to find a bar and have a good drink, preferably until he was drunk.
"Hey, it's me, come out and drink with me."
After the car drove a certain distance, Sun Zhicheng slowed down, then picked up his mobile phone and dialed a friend's number.
"Drinking? Haven't you given up drinking recently? Why did you suddenly call me and ask me to drink?"
"Stop blabbering, come out quickly, and call some more people to come out and drink together."
Sun Zhicheng was in a very bad mood, and his tone of voice was also urgent. His friend on the phone could tell that Sun Zhicheng was in a bad mood, so he nodded in agreement.
"Okay, I'll be there soon."
After hanging up the phone, Sun Zhicheng stepped on the accelerator again, and the speed of the sports car suddenly increased.
"Boom."
The sound of the engine was very loud, attracting the attention of passers-by walking on both sides of the street.
The first time he took the initiative to fall in love with a woman, he pursued her for four or five months, but finally failed. This feeling of being broken up in love made Sun Zhicheng very uncomfortable.
"It would be nice if her boyfriend was not an investigator." Sun Zhicheng, who was in a depressed mood, murmured to himself. If Coach Zhou's boyfriend was an ordinary person, Sun Zhicheng would never give up.
After his father investigated Zhou Yue's situation before and found out that Zhou Yue's boyfriend was an investigator who was highly regarded by the director of the Superpower Management Bureau, he had a talk with Sun Zhicheng.
In and out of words, Sun Zhicheng told Sun Zhicheng not to pursue Zhou Yue, so as not to anger her boyfriend and bring unnecessary trouble to the family.
It's a pity that Sun Zhicheng really fell in love with Zhou Yue. No matter how his father tried to persuade him, he just refused to give up. In the end, both father and son took a step back.
Sun Zhicheng promised his father that if there was no progress at all before Zhou Yue's business trip ended, he would have to give up at the end of the business trip.
Now, tomorrow is the last day of Zhou Yue's business trip, and Sun Zhicheng thought about inviting Zhou Yue to dinner tonight and confessing his feelings.
It's a pity that before he could say the invitation to dinner, he was hit hard.
Her boyfriend came directly to Tianhai City, and they were going to have dinner together in the evening, and it could be seen from the smile on each other's faces that their relationship seemed to have been repaired.
"It's over, everything is over." Sun Zhicheng murmured to himself as he accelerated the car.
From today on, he will resume his previous behavior.
At this moment, Zhou Yue was quickly heading to the restaurant she had made an appointment with Lin Fei and Wang Xiaoru. She didn't know that she had deeply affected a person who had a crush on her, and that she had returned to her old bad life style.
Of course, even if she knew, she wouldn't take it seriously. After all, she had never taken the other person seriously, and the other person's life style had nothing to do with her. The two parties had met because of work reasons.
Now she is about to finish her business trip and will return to Rongcheng. From now on, the two parties should not see each other again.
…………
At the entrance of a busy hot pot restaurant, a beautiful woman with a slim figure walked into the restaurant.
"Welcome, how many ladies are you there?" The waiter greeting guests at the door asked immediately after seeing this beautiful woman.
"My friend has already reserved a seat." Zhou Yue said to the waiter. Then she looked around the restaurant and saw a man waving to her in the distance.
"Excuse me, what is the table number of Miss's friend? I will take you there." the waitress said.
"No, I've already seen what table my friend is at. Thank you." Zhou Yue thanked the waitress, who then nodded and watched her walk to a table by the window in the distance.
.
"You came at the right time, the dishes we ordered have just been served." Lin Fei said with a smile when he saw Zhou Yue sitting down next to Wang Xiaoru, untying the scarf around his neck.
"Hurry up and start eating! I'm so hungry!" Zhou Yue said.
Wang Xiaoru, who was sitting next to Zhou Yue, was about to help Zhou Yue open a bottle of juice, but was stopped by Zhou Yue, "Xiaoru, bring me a can of beer."
Wang Xiaoru smiled and nodded, and then gave Zhou Yue a can of beer. In this weather, the beer didn't need to be chilled at all.
After Zhou Yue took the beer, she opened it and took a sip. Lin Fei and Wang Xiaoru picked up the dishes ordered on the table and added them to the hot pot.
The soup base of the hot pot is the same as usual, it is a mandarin duck pot. It is light on one side and spicy on the other. You can eat whichever soup base you want. The spicy side is mainly eaten by Zhou Yue, and the light side is mainly eaten by Wang Xiaoru.
Lin Fei, on the other hand, can eat both sides. Of course, although he can eat spicy food, it is far inferior to Zhou Yue. He will eat more on the lighter side.
After the ingredients were put into the pot, they had to wait for a while. At this time, the three of them started chatting.
After a few months, since the National Day holiday, the three of them reunited for dinner after a long separation. This feeling made all three of them very happy.
"When does your company have a holiday? It's almost Chinese New Year, why don't you guys have a holiday?" Lin Fei picked up a piece of fried pumpkin pie with chopsticks, took a bite, and asked.
"We have a holiday after this Friday." Wang Xiaoru said.
"Tomorrow, Wednesday, I will finish my business trip to Tianhai City. If Lin Fei doesn't come to pick me up, I will fly back on Thursday, report to the company on Friday, and have a holiday.
Now that Lin Fei will take me back, I can go back to Rongcheng directly tomorrow, rest at home for a day, and then report to the company on Friday." Zhou Yue said.
After chatting for a while, the ingredients in the pot were cooked, and the three of them chatted happily while eating.
After dinner, they went shopping in some department stores in Tianhai City until around nine o'clock in the evening, when Lin Fei took Wang Xiaoru back to Rongcheng.
Returning to the hotel room where she stayed, Zhou Yue took a shower and returned to the bedroom to prepare for bed.
At this moment, the mobile phone placed on the bedside table suddenly rang.
I picked up my phone and looked at it. It was my mother calling.
"Mom, it's so late, why are you still not sleeping?" Zhou Yue answered the phone and asked.
"Isn't your business trip about to end tomorrow? After returning to Rongcheng, the company will have a holiday on Friday. When do you plan to return to your hometown?"
"On New Year's Eve next Thursday, Xiaoru and I have agreed to stay in Rongcheng for a few more days and drive back next Tuesday."
"Okay, I understand. Have you done what I told you before?"
"Ah, what's going on?" Zhou Yue asked, not realizing what her mother was talking about.
"What kind of memory do you have, kid?" Zhou's mother, Lu Yunping, said angrily, and then reminded her daughter.
"It's about the New Year. Didn't I ask you to tell Lin Fei before that he would come to our house to celebrate the New Year?"
"..." Zhou Yue was reminded by her mother, and she immediately remembered what her mother had said before, and she fell silent.
When Lu Yunping saw that her daughter was silent, she immediately knew that her daughter had not mentioned to Lin Fei that she would come to her home to celebrate the New Year together.
"You! You can't handle such a small thing. I really don't know how you became the head of the department..."
Zhou Yue heard her mother's criticism and muttered in a low voice, "How can things at work be compared with this kind of thing? If this kind of thing could be as simple as things at work, I would have solved it long ago."
"Is this kind of thing difficult? Just mention it to Lin Fei! You can't speak it yourself, so just say it..."
Lu Yunping taught her daughter, "Tell Lin Fei, it's so deserted for you to celebrate the New Year alone at home. My parents want the family to be more lively during the New Year, so let me invite you to come to my house to celebrate the New Year together."
After hearing what her mother taught her, Zhou Yue's eyes suddenly lit up and she nodded frequently, and then she said, "I know, I will find a chance to talk to Lin Fei later. If it doesn't work, you are not allowed to talk to me again."
…”
"If it doesn't work, you don't have to go home to celebrate the New Year..." Lu Yunping said to her daughter angrily.
"..." Zhou Yue didn't expect her mother to say that, and then she said aggrievedly, "Am I still your daughter?"
"No, I picked you up under the overpass..."
"Mom, why didn't you say I picked it up in the trash can?"
"Okay, don't worry, tell Lin Fei earlier, and after that, call me to tell me the result." Lu Yunping stopped talking to her daughter, and after saying a few words, she hung up the phone.
Zhou Yue looked at the hung up call, put the phone lock screen on the bedside table, then lay down and looked at the roof, muttering in her mouth.
If you listen carefully, you will find that the words Zhou Yue muttered are all the same rhetoric her mother just taught her.
"Hey, when are you going to tell Lin Fei? If he doesn't agree...how should I make him agree?"
Zhou Yue thought about it carefully and felt that with Lin Fei's character, there was a 90% chance that he would reject her invitation.
When he thought about Lin Fei's refusal, his head ached. How to persuade Lin Fei to come to his home for the New Year was extremely difficult.
"Threaten him with force?"
"No, he can use his powers to slip away. As long as he wants to, I won't be able to catch him at all..."
"You can't be tough, you can only be soft. If he refuses then, I will..."
Zhou Yue thought about how to persuade Lin Fei and fell asleep without realizing it.
