Renew Peach Blossom Bond(1/2)
Lei Yunze handles such business social engagements naturally, but according to Xia Xiaobei's sporadic memory, when faced with such dinners that others beg for him, Lei Yunze was mostly posing with a high airs and was reluctant to say a word for a while, as cold as if others owe him millions.
But today Lei Yunze looked very kind and kept laughing. Maybe he was in a good mood. As usual, everyone was toasted with a glass of wine. He didn't refuse, but he actually drank them all.
It was Xia Xiaobei's turn to toast, and the director even spoke: "Xiaoxia, you are an old subordinate of President Lei, so you have to say something about this cup." I'm afraid that the nobleman Lei Yunze is forgetting too much, or that a small character like Xia Xiaobei really can't raise the idea of the big president, so he explained specifically: "Before Xiaoxia came to us, she had been in the Shanghai branch of Huanyu for four years."
After hearing this, Lei Yunze took the wine glass with a polite smile and said frankly: "Huanyu used to be headquartered in Shanghai. Miss Xia worked under my hands in those years, and I still remember her."
After saying this, it seems that they are really just the most ordinary relationship between old bosses and employees.
Xia Xiaobei smiled reservedly, nodded, and simply dried up half of the glass of white wine with a hearty look. Before everyone could start the meal, their stomachs were empty. After this glass of alcohol was gone, they immediately felt that the stomach and intestines were burning, and they were so entangled that they had become a ball.
But she was still lucky. Lei Yunze seemed to have been for business and did not focus on her. It is best to wipe clearly about the unbearable things in everyone's memory, so she should not have any connections, and live a safe life.
She almost worshipped Buddha.
After a round of respect, the director started serving the dishes. After gradually singing for a while, he finally talked about the main topic of investment. Lei Yunze had a great ambition in his words. According to his plan, this project could not be completed in ten or eight years. The director naturally followed suit and began to imagine the bright future of S City. When they finished their imagination, Xia Xiaobei felt that in ten or eight years, S City would not be able to surpass Shanghai, Shenzhen and Beijing?
However, the longer the project is, the more their company can earn. When they catch the big fish of the Universal World, the director is eager to hold on and never let go. If there is a project, there will be dividends. Xia Xiaobei also thinks nothing wrong. She thought: You can't really stay in this bird place for ten or eight years, right? When the plan is proposed, the government will pass it and the landing will be started, and the big boss, he, should go back to Beijing. So Xia Xiaobei was not worried at all at that time.
When the first soup came, the director flattered the bowl and handed it to Lei Yunze. The people around him stood up and took it, handed it to her, saying, "You were drinking too fast just now, drink some soup to warm your stomach."
Many gazes shot over, and he spoke naturally and smoothly, without any inappropriateness.
In front of everyone, Xia Xiaobei couldn't even push it. The director laughed and tried to smooth things over: "Mr. Lei is really pity for the fragrance."
She knew that she couldn't sit in this position!
The feeling of being watched on the top of her head has not dissipated. Everyone had already started eating and eating. She knew that Lei Yunze seemed to be looking at her, but she just didn't have the courage to raise her head and glare back and forth.
Later, when the drinks were over, Xia Xiaobei quietly changed seats with Xiao Gao while using the toilet. Xiao Gao's pair of star eyes had never changed shape since Lei Yunze walked in. At this time, he heard that he had the opportunity to approach the handsome and rich boss, so excited that he didn't want to go so much.
Lei Yunze drank a lot, but seemed to have not noticed it.
When the show ended, the colleagues left in groups of three or three. The director went to check out. The glass of white wine she drank was only starting to get angry now. After enduring for a long time, she still had to turn into the toilet.
If a few years ago, a cup of red could knock her down, she would have worked hard in the past few years, but she still did the same thing. If she didn't vomit it after drinking, she wouldn't be able to walk properly.
After vomiting, she looked up at herself in the mirror, her face pale as if she was as beautiful as a ghost. Looking closer, the deep black ball under her eyes was not scary.
She had given birth to a child, and she was still in her thirty-one years old, and she was in poor health. No matter how she still showed traces of time.
Xia Xiaobei said to the mirror: "You must go to the beauty salon to apply for a card."
When they came out, they didn't expect Lei Yunze to leave. The two of them were waiting in front of the elevator at the same time, looking up at each other, which was quite embarrassing.
She screamed softly: "Mr. Lei." It was considered to be a greeting.
However, he did not call her "Ms. Xia" as politely as he was at the banquet, but just nodded slightly, and his dark eyes were always on her.
This feeling of being watched is really uncomfortable. Xia Xiaobei turned his head and pretended to stare at the elevator electronic screen.
I don’t know if it was a coincidence or intentional, but after five years, this vulgar and absurd eight-point plot happened. If it were Lan Jia, she would definitely sneer at her and say: Xia Xiaobei, Xia Xiaobei, you are just so successful.
When the elevator came, he held the button with a gentlemanly manner and signaled her to go in first.
She thanked her without looking sideways. It was a pain for the two of them to stay alone in the cramped space of the elevator in just five floors.
He suddenly broke the calm and said, "You didn't eat anything all night, and you vomited all the wine after drinking. You'll go back to buy some porridge on the way, otherwise you'll feel uncomfortable in the middle of the night."
She replied with her eyes hanging down, but thought to herself: Why is it so clear that she even knew that she had vomited in the bathroom just now, as if she was being monitored throughout the whole process.
The elevator jingled, and the moment she looked up, she happened to meet his staring eyes. Xia Xiaobei saw himself in his eyes, a very small cluster of shadows. He sighed as if he was indifferent. She didn't hear it clearly, or she heard it wrongly.
She walked out of the elevator quickly and arrived outside the hotel. When the wind blew, her mind became a little clearer.
It was almost twelve o'clock when the dinner was over. The car was not easy to get during this period, and she was going home and taking a taxi from across the road. When she saw Lei Yunze following him, he actually wanted to take a taxi, so he couldn't help but feel even more anxious and his steps were faster.
A rapid whistle sounded in her ears, and she saw a speeding car passing by. The strong smell of gasoline was blowing in the wind. She realized how close she was to the car just now and how thrilling the situation was. Fortunately, Lei Yunze grabbed her quickly with his eyes and hands.
He was extremely strong and almost pulled her into his arms. Her heart was pounding. It must have been too thrilling just now, but why did her face get hotter?
His voice was very close and sounded overhead: "Be careful when crossing the road."
She nodded, broke away from him and was about to go out, and gasped in a cold air.
He chased after her and asked, "What's wrong?"
It turned out that when I was hiding from the car, I turned around and felt that I was not moving. Now when I walked, I really twisted to the pain.
Xia Xiaobei held back her tears, really didn't want to beg him, but just pursed her lips and didn't say anything.
Lei Yunze came over to help her. As soon as he put his hand on her waist, he saw Xia Xiaobei as if he had seen a ghost. He didn't let him get close at all. He shouted: "Don't do anything random!"
Lei Yunze was stunned, her expression seemed to see a pervert. He tidied up his clothes and felt that he had been dressed incorrectly tonight, but his suit was straight and neat, which had nothing to do with bad guys.
He said: "You can't walk like this, I just want to help you walk across the road to stop the car."
Xia Xiaobei also found out that she was out of control. She was subconscious and unconscious, but she was overreacting. She was a little uneasy and had to say, "I've drunk too much."
Lei Yunze smiled: "Well, I know."
He helped her stop a car, stuffed her into the back seat, and then sat in, asking her, "Where are you living?"
Xia Xiaobei sat in a little uncomfortable and deliberately kept a certain distance from him before saying, "Let me down on Nanming Road."
The streets were very quiet at night. Xia Xiaobei dared not look at him, so he had to turn his head and stare at the scenery outside the window. Maybe it was because the alcohol was over and it was easy to get sleepy. As she looked at her head, she began to tilt around. In fact, she didn't sleep for a long time, maybe in just a few seconds, she woke up. In the moment of trance, she seemed to smell the faint smell of Shaoqian. She always remembered that smell, with a faint mint fragrance and the sweet smell of tobacco. She leaned against his shoulders, his shoulders were flat.
Flat and wide, it makes people feel a strange sense of security. At that time, she was holding the photo in her hand and said happily that she would not put the wallet for me? Shaoqian's face became dim and unclear for some reason. He said: This is not good, we will take a photo again next time. She remembered the half photo that was torn to the edges after being kept in the wallet for a long time, and suddenly woke up. The person next to her turned to look at her. She slowly woke up, not Shaoqian, but Lei Yunze.
The smell on Lei Yunze's body is actually not very similar to Shaoqian, and it also has a strong smell of alcohol. In my memory, because of frequent hospitalization, Shaoqian always has a faint smell of disinfectant on his body.
Xia Xiaobei sat upright embarrassedly, but Lei Yunze seemed to be fine. The taxi had stopped at some point. It was not Nanming Road. There was a convenience store open 24 hours a day on the side of the road. He said, "Wait a minute, I'll go down to buy something."
She nodded, and his figure quickly disappeared into the convenience store. When he came back, there was an extra bag in his hand, and she didn't ask.
Later, the car stopped downstairs of her community. Lei Yunze got out of the car first. Seeing that she was holding her legs, she insisted on leaving by herself, and it was not too much to force it. So he stuffed the bag in his hand and said, "This is a skinny egg and lean meat porridge. It was bought from a convenience store. The taste may not be very good. You can eat it by going home and turning it in a microwave."
Only then did she know what he did when he went down the road. She said "Thank you" unnaturally, and her face was a little hot when she took the bag.
He didn't turn back to the car, and kept standing and watching her walk into the corridor, telling her: "Remember to eat the porridge and don't sleep on an empty stomach."
Xia Xiaobei limped into the stairs before finally breathing a sigh of relief.
Lei Yunze is coming back this time. Although he doesn't know his purpose, it's always good to be careful.
When she got home, Xia Nan had been asleep for a long time. Xia Xiaobei threw the bag from the convenience store on the table and ignored it.
The child's sleeping face is innocent and cute. Since she brought Xia Nan back to her side and spent the past few years in S City, Xia Nan has never asked any questions about her father. Even though there were so many twists and turns back then, the child could not have noticed it at all, but he was born smart, as if he instinctively knew what to ask and what not to ask.
In fact, she still owes him. A child of this age grew up in a family without a father and lacks some heart.
But she was already very satisfied. Although the current home is still simple, it is clean and refreshing, and with relatives around her, it is really a joy to have fun.
She walked to the balcony. It was a beautiful night, with summer insects chirping and the bright moon. Many years ago, she once saw from a lattice red painted glass window. At that time, the vast night sky was like a whole intangible purple, covered with stars and shattered, as if a dream of shining like crystals. It was broken and splashed on this pool of purple, which was far less comfortable than the night sky with twin radiances of stars and moons.
Xia Xiaobei stretched his muscles and bones on the balcony. He didn't move for a long time, and the joints made a squeaking sound. Thinking of the first words Lei Yunze said in the evening, she turned around and went into the bathroom and took up the mask at hand. What Xiao Gao said makes sense, and this age woman needs to take care of her.
While applying the mask, I opened the bag from the convenience store again. It was a plastic-packed leather egg lean meat porridge. It was packed with several layers of packaging. It looked pretty good and stuffed it into the microwave.
After turning around a few times, I took it out and removed the cover on it. The fragrance of the peeled eggs came to my nose. She vomited everything she had eaten overnight. At this time, her stomach was already empty and uncomfortable, and she couldn't help but move her index finger. The porridge rice was soft and fragrant, the peeled eggs were cut very crumbly, and there were fine shredded pork. I didn't expect that this fast food in the convenience store would taste so good. She sat alone in the kitchen and ate it with a spoon, and the empty stomach gradually became warm.
When she went to work the next day, her colleagues found something was wrong with her feet. Xiao Gao joked and said, "Sister Xia, everyone didn't see you when the show ended last night. Where did you fall alone?"
She was too lazy to respond, and Xiao Gao looked gossipy again: "Sister Xia, Sister Xia, I didn't expect that your former boss was so handsome and kind. He still remembers you after so many years. If it were me, he wouldn't resign."
Handsome and handsome, affectionate and loyal?
She pulled the corners of her mouth with difficulty and said, "If you have this kind of heart, you should give up as soon as possible. If you get involved, you will die without a burial place."
As soon as I said that, I felt familiar. Once upon a time, someone had persuaded her like this. She was young and energetic at that time, so inadvertently, but now she has been persuaded by her younger generations like this.
Xiao Gao really didn't care: "It's worth it to be able to get involved with such a big man."
Xia Xiaobei smiled coldly: "Do you don't know his romantic history? There are few women who are involved in him?"
After hearing this, Xiao Gao was not disappointed, but also came over and asked, "Sister Xia, you seem to know him very well. Let's talk about what other preferences he has?"
"I like it..." Xia Xiaobei thought about it seriously. When he wanted to say it, he suddenly found that all the female compatriots in the office had come over. He couldn't help but be surprised, "Are you guys?"
"Oh, don't interrupt, tell me, what kind of woman he likes?" Everyone said in unison.
Xia Xiaobei felt much pressure and thought about it carefully: "The person who comes... will not refuse."
A few days later, the director called her up alone, handed her a thick stack of file bags, and said, "You go to General Lei's office and handed him the first draft of the planning book to review."
Xia Xiaobei wondered: "Director, I don't need to do this kind of errands, right?"
The director sent her a simple sentence: "This job is through your hands from beginning to end, and you know the details the most. Besides, you are so familiar with Mr. Lei. If you introduce our plan to him, you can also gain a good impression."
She felt that it was too difficult to live a day these days, and those who work as secretary have to work part-time public relations.
The planning book was placed on the desk for three days. Every time the director asked, she would urge Mr. Lei to be busy and the phone could not be reached. It is normal for such a big man to take care of all kinds of things every day, and the director would not doubt that he had him.
Until one afternoon, Xia Xiaobeixin made a decision and decided to give up. Isn’t it just a joke? She didn’t believe that the other party could really eat him! She dialed the number of Secretary Lei Yunze with trepidation. When she left Beijing, she had already thrown away the original card, so she naturally would not keep Lei Yunze’s private number. In addition, this is a business, so she is naturally doing business, and she still calls the contact number from the director.
Lei Yunze's secretary still maintains the same style, with a sweet voice and a good attitude, and unknowingly plays hundreds of Tai Chi tricks with you. In short, it is not an important matter for customers. Usually, when you go to the secretary, you have to put it on. It is not really a big shot. Xia Xiaobei has seen this in Huanyu before. Two of the six secretaries in the secretary's office are responsible for answering and replacing the phone, but they can't even take a break when they eat.
At that time, her senior taught her: "When it's time to eat, you'll call her at the time of eating. She'll either be rude or be rejected too much. She'll call her to make her lucky. She won't be able to meet her like this."
Xia Xiaobei thought that everything was really good at everything. So when she was rejected by her secretary, she was not in a hurry and said, "That Lei is always free. Please tell me, my surname is Xia, Bojia Planning Department."
There was a lot of responses and hung up the phone. Xia Xiaobei thought that it would take at least several days to wait.
Unexpectedly, I got up and went to make some coffee. When I came back, I received a call. It was Lei Yunze's voice and asked her: "Have your feet been done?"
