Awkward(1/2)
As soon as Lei Yunze got on the plane, he leaned on the back of the chair and closed his eyes to rest. He should be extremely tired for tax affairs these days, and Xia Xiaobei was not easy to disturb him. He just pursed his lips and didn't speak.
About ten minutes after the plane took off, he opened his eyes on time as if he had set an alarm. Because Xia Xiaobei had been staring at him in a daze, she couldn't help but feel embarrassed and at a loss when he opened his eyes.
Lei Yunze just glanced at her and said, "You sleep for a while. I will have a meeting later. I need to prepare for it." After that, he opened the notebook and focused on the screen.
She turned her head embarrassedly and said, "It's okay, you're busy with yours, I was disturbing you."
She felt so polite that she could not be peaceful and natural whenever she was alone with him.
She was near the window, so she simply opened the blindfold and stared out the window boredly. After a moment, she felt a little sleepy. But she suddenly felt that he hit her with his elbow. She woke up suddenly and looked at him, but saw his eyes deep and said calmly: "Sorry, my notebook is almost out of power. Can you lend me yours?"
She glanced at the LCD screen that was sticking out from her head, and before she knew it, she had been flying for almost two hours. She hurriedly sat up and handed him her notebook.
When he took it over and turned on the computer, he suddenly remembered something. It was too late to stop it. He saw Lei Yunze holding her laptop on his knee, his neck bent slightly, his jaw lined elegantly, and his dark eyes stared at the boot screen flashing by the windows interface, and he seemed to have entered a state of meditation.
After a long time, he slowly turned his face and looked at her, but asked nothing.
However, Xia Xiaobei couldn't help but explain in a hurry: "That was made by the small money from the technical department, and I don't know how to change it."
Explanation is more like concealment.
Lei Yunze seemed to say no, as if he didn't care, and skillfully took out the USB flash drive and copied the PPT into it.
Xia Xiaobei's palms were sweating, and he felt even more uncomfortable. In fact, the boot screen has existed for a long time. As early as the first time this book went on strike, she was quietly "implanted" when she went to Xiaoqian, the technical department to repair it. At that time, Xiaoqian said proudly: "Your secretary's office is following the president every day, and there is no such good photo as an angle, right?"
On the boot screen that was enlarged so clearly that it was even visible to the pores, Lei Yunze was slightly lowering his head and dealing with the documents with serious expression. It is said that men are the sexiest at two times, one is when they have oral sex, and the other is when they are working. This photo is the latter. Although Xia Xiaobei was extremely despised by Xiao Qian's ill-fated behavior at that time, he was deeply convinced of what she said, so he used this boot picture for almost two years and had never changed it.
She now classifies this behavior as a visual habit, and never expected a deeper meaning. Of course, if she had expected that her notebook would one day "fall" into the hands of the big boss, then she would not have been so "degenerate".
Fortunately, the remaining itinerary was not long, and less than thirty minutes later, the plane was about to land. Lei Yunze closed the notebook and handed it back to Xia Xiaobei. Of course, these thirty minutes, which were not long or short, were still spent in the embarrassing aftertaste brought by the boot screen.
The fuselage gradually lowered, and the buildings scattered under the clouds were vaguely visible. She thought about it and couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Lei, are you flying to Beijing for the sake of tax trouble in the world?" In fact, what she wanted to ask was how confident she was.
Lei Yunze pondered for a moment and told her frankly: "The tax bureau is not difficult. Just want them to stop and say hello to their boss. The key is that someone in Beijing wants to mess with me, otherwise I don't have to fly to Beijing to lobby myself."
Xia Xiaobei felt a deep heart. This matter seemed to be very involved, but he was insincere: "I evade taxes and blame others for not being able to investigate, what logic is it."
But he seemed to be really angry and said in a bad tone: "When we are in our industry, who can say that he has never done these things? He checked me and just messed with me. Miss Xia, you have been in this industry for more than four years, why are you still so naive and naive in your thoughts?"
Xia Xiaobei was choked and couldn't speak. In fact, in the past, he followed him and knew that as the boss of a well-known leading real estate company in China, the reason why he took some hot land so easily was not unrelated to his background. To put it a step back, the real estate industry is booming these days, and it is a profitable business. Only a few can become big developers, and which one has nothing to do with the government. She knows more or less the tricks about this, but she still feels a little angry when he speaks it out with such confidence.
Fortunately, the radio rang out at the right time, and the passengers were reminded to fasten their seat belts and prepare to land. Both of them turned their faces. After a long time, he said, "Please take the luggage ticket and go to pick up the luggage by yourself later. I won't leave with you."
She thought he was angry and didn't look at her when he spoke, but after a while, he said again: "Shaoqian should have arrived. You can go with him."
I originally thought that I would be able to see Shao Qian, and I should be happy, but now, there is only an inexplicable empty space left. She turned her face and looked at the increasingly clearer buildings below. The outline of the capital was in full view, but her mind became more and more confused.
With a loud bang, the fuselage finally contacted the ground and stopped after a long gliding. Amid the beautiful reminder on the radio, he unbuttoned his seat belt and stood up first, handed her the small bag she carried with him, and then left without saying anything.
She took over and said "Thank you", and silently followed him. The passage was neither long nor short, and the rumbling sound of the luggage rollers echoed. His figure was just a few steps ahead, but he never turned around and said a word to her. She followed behind not far or near, and later picked up her luggage at the luggage, and when she looked up, his back disappeared.
She shook her head in regret. In fact, she had been holding it in for a long time, but she wanted to say thank you to him. Fortunately, she was about to see Shaoqian soon. Thinking of this, she soon became clearer again.
But when she came out of seclusion, it was not the same thing, because standing outside the crowd, she was leisurely rolling her eyes at her with both hands. It was nothing but someone else, but David, a psychiatrist at the First People's Hospital, who was missing.
She walked up two steps, looked around and asked, "Why are you? Where is Shaoqian?"
The momentary expression of disappointment on her face was wonderful. David didn't answer, and took her luggage and said, "Why are you so picky? It's not the same as if I'm here to pick you up."
How could it be the same? She was in a very depressed mood, and Shaoqian hid at her and hid to this point.
From afar, I seemed to feel a gaze falling on her back. When I turned around, I saw Lei Yunze looking at her through the people. Maybe he was a little surprised by the person coming and David. He noticed her gaze, so he turned his head uncomfortably and handed over everything to the driver who came to pick him up.
Beside her, David was still talking, but she didn't even listen to it, and saw Lei Yunze get on a silver Jaguar and disappear into the driveway in a flash.
Seeing her silent for a while, David also glanced into the driveway: "Yeah, it's Lei Er. I heard that something went wrong with his company. Did you come with him?"
Xia Xiaobei ignored it and followed David on the A8 he drove. On the way, he remembered to ask him: "Why did you come to Beijing too?"
He sighed: "It's not that Ye San who was so stupid. He suddenly felt hot and wanted to go back to Beijing. I am their private doctor, so I can't follow him wherever he runs away." What's more, he gets sick once or twice from time to time, so how can he feel assured that he will go back to Beijing alone.
She hesitated for a moment and asked, "Where is he... now?"
"Are you just squatting in his small building on the Second Ring Road all day long, going out to drink and rub cards from time to time, where else can you go?"
As he was talking, his phone rang. David held the steering wheel with one hand and took out the phone with the other, put it in his ear and said "heat" it. It turned out to be Lei Yunze. He couldn't help but look at Xia Xiaobei beside him.
Xia Xiaobei thought he was a private phone call and it was not convenient to answer in front of her, so he quickly made a gesture to "listen". He turned his head and stared out the car window.
On the phone, Lei Yunze asked him in a simple and clear manner: "Where are you going to settle her?"
David thought for a while and said, "Ye San didn't have a house on Chaoyang Road but it was still empty."
"Well," he pondered over there, and said, "She might have to stay in Beijing for a while. If it is convenient, put her in your elder brother Xiangrong's company."
When David heard this, he immediately turned a bitter face: "I beg you to let me go. You dare not work with the Wen family, and don't drag me into the water? You don't know that the family surnamed Wen is walking sideways in Beijing. If my brother offends him, should I eat this food in the future?"
Perhaps when Xia Xiaobei heard the "family surnamed Wen", he sat upright in a daze. I wonder if this was related to Wen Ziyan.
David did not notice her little movement, but still beg for mercy on the phone: "Anyway, go and tell my elder brother in person to see if he will agree to you. If I speak, he will have to kill me in the future."
After a long time of silence on the phone, Lei Yunze finally spoke: "Okay, I'll invite Wen Xin to dinner in Kunlun tomorrow to reminisce about the past. Please tell your elder brother to help me and invite him to come together. I haven't seen him for a long time."
David exchanged a few more greetings with him, hung up the phone, suddenly turned his face, and stared at Xia Xiaobei in a daze.
Xia Xiaobei was uncomfortable when he saw him and couldn't help asking, "What's wrong? Is there something on my face?"
He shook his head and sighed for a while: "I can't see what's special about you."
Xia Xiaobei curled his lips: "Of course I have nothing special, but I have two eyes and one nose. If you want to watch whatever you want, just watch it on TV and watch what I do."
David just smiled and didn't say anything. Everyone knew the behavior behind Wen Ziyan, which was equivalent to not giving Xia Xiaobei a job after he spoke. Lei Erxin should also know very well. In recent years, the boss of the Wen family has been in charge of Wen Xin, and he has a little bit of speaking in all aspects. Wen Ziyan naturally would not disobey him. Now Lei Er made an appointment with Wen Xin and his elder brother Dai Xiangrong at the same time, which clearly wanted to make the decision for Xia Xiaobei.
After more than half an hour of car traveling, I gradually entered the inner city. The prosperity and congestion of the capital gradually appeared in front of me. In fact, when I glanced at the big city, I was still somewhat similar, because the logos hanging on the highest point always had similar signs, such as the Raffles in the center of Beijing, which often made Xia Xiaobei suspicious of the People's Square.
David took her to an apartment on Chaoyang Road. Before getting off the bus, she asked, "Where can I find Shaoqian if I want to get there?"
He looked at her for a while and smiled, "So girl, you are just as horny as Ye San. If he wants to see you, will it work so hard for you to find it? Speaking of which, I admire you very much, and I really chased you to Beijing."
She took this as a compliment and asked him again: "Is the house here Shaoqian's?"
"Well, just stay calm. Maybe he will come to find you one day when he wants to open it."
She smiled and said, "Are you really a doctor?"
“Not like?”
"I think you should have verified later. Your eloquence must have been a lawyer before..."
He smiled heartily and took out his business card from his pocket: "It seems I have to prove my identity."
The business card reads the name of a Beijing hospital. It seems that Shanghai First People's Hospital is not his designated nest. But the most important thing is that his private number is printed below.
He said: "Ye San has changed his number. If you have anything to do, just call me."
She thanked her before she went upstairs with her luggage.
It is not a big two-bedroom apartment, but it is cleaned very neatly. There should be hours of work to come to clean regularly, and the furniture is complete, and the simple layout reveals the smell of a single man everywhere. She held her nose and sniffed it carefully. Fortunately, there was no smell of women's perfume. Maybe she was the first woman to stay here.
She thought about going to the supermarket to buy some small decorations later to add a warm home atmosphere, and also learn about the city. In short, this is her third time in Beijing. She was on a business trip in the first two times and was in a hurry. Fortunately, it is in the city center and it is very convenient to enter and exit.
She rested for a long time, and the next morning, according to the address sent by Lei Yunze to her email address, she took a taxi to a company downstairs. This kind of office building with a towering sky in the downtown area was so grand that she could tell at first glance that it was extraordinary. She didn't know where Shaoqian would be in this building. After entering, she swayed in the lobby on the first floor for a long time, until the security guard noticed her and came forward to ask: "Miss, which floor do you want to go to?"
She glanced at the sign of the unit on the floor over there, and after a while, she stammered: "I'm looking for... Are there anyone with the surname Ye here? His name is Ye Shaoqian."
The security guard simply thought she was making a fool of herself: "There are so many people in Ye who are surnamed Ye. Do I go up one by one to ask you?" After a while, he stopped and stared at her and asked, "...Are you looking for us Mr. Ye?"
Well, it seems that she underestimated him. With such a background, people can always add a "general" to the back.
The security guard said: "Wait, I'll call up and ask."
Xia Xiaobei simply sat down and waited. She still understood this process. It would be nice for the security guard to hit the front desk on his floor at most. Then he moved from the front desk to the secretariat and then to his own place. I don’t know how long it would take to delay. This kind of person with the character “general” is never seen.
Ye Shaoqian came out of the conference room and felt that one was too big, and he just wanted to take the time to sneak out and have some breath. As soon as he arrived in Beijing, the old man received the news. Among the three children, the old man urged him the most all day long, and because he was the least angry, he always wanted to set him in the fire pit to train him to understand the importance of right and wrong. After two days of rest, he was arranged to join his brother-in-law's company. The Lu family had a great career. He was named Mr. Ye. In fact, he was idle and he was just a position that he had no money to do. However, he had to go to the company from 9 to 5 like these white-collar workers, which made him bored.
He hooked the car key on his finger and was about to leave when he was stopped by a sweet and charming secretary: "Mr. Ye, a lady named Xia in the lobby said she knew you. Do you want her to come up?"
He was stunned for a moment, remembering that she had flew to Beijing last evening. He knew that she was here with her second brother, so he didn't go to see her. He called David to do it for him. He also knew that she was coming to the door sooner or later, and he felt very confused. The casual smile that was used to being on his lips was also curled up. After a while, he said coldly: "I'm going out. Go back and let her go."
The female secretary then went to the lobby and asked Xia Xiaobei to leave.
Ye Shaoqian sat in the office for another quarter of an hour, thinking that she should leave, so he took the elevator downstairs. The driver had been waiting in the parking lot for a long time. He sat in the back seat and stared out of the window casually. Unexpectedly, as soon as the car drove out of the garage, a figure suddenly rushed out of the road, stood in the middle of the road, blocking the front of the car, scaring the driver to the brakes. Fortunately, the car performed well, and it was already braked with a "gao" sound, only a few centimeters away from her.
Ye Shaoqian saw the person in front of the car clearly, couldn't help but curse, opened the car door, and walked to her in three or two steps.
Xia Xiaobei was standing only a few centimeters from the front of the car. From time to time, wind was blowing the corner of her clothes on the front of the car. She looked straight at him, her face calm, as if she didn't care about the dangerous actions she had just made.
His face was still so beautiful. Although he was a little thinner, he was wrapped in a crisp windbreaker, looking handsome and graceful. His thick and black eyebrows were raised, as if he was dissatisfied, and asked her: "Why haven't you left yet?"
She also raised her face and said with confidence: "I haven't waited for you."
His face was a little cold and a little awkward, as if he was angry, and his tone was not good: "No one asked you to wait. Go home quickly."
She refused to respond: "That's your house, not my house, where did you ask me to go?"
He finally got discouraged and stopped arguing with her. He turned around and opened the car door and sat in again.
The driver was a little embarrassed for a moment. He looked at the woman standing in front of him, then looked back at Ye Shaoqian. He knocked on the back of the chair and said in a simple and powerful manner: "Drive."
The driver made a bend, bypassed Xia Xiaobei, and continued to drive towards the road. From the rearview mirror, she could see that she was still following the car. She started walking slowly, but later turned into a trot.
He ignored the increasingly smaller blurred shadows in the rearview mirror, and it was impossible for her to catch up with him, and she would give up sooner or later.
But he underestimated her resilience. As soon as he came out of the club parking lot, he saw her jumping out of a taxi and paying. When he looked up, he saw him and didn't care about making changes and he caught up.
To be continued...
