Chapter Eighteen: An Unexpected Olive Branch

In front of the transparent floor-to-ceiling windows, the thin window screen gently fluttered with the breeze through the cracks. The bright moonlight passed through the glass and sprinkled on the carpet, creating a swaying dream all night.

Xiao Xixi was lying on the bed, tossing and turning. She clearly remembered the dim look cast by Situ Leiyan, which was faintly filled with disbelief and inexplicable sadness. She didn't know why, but she would always feel guilty later on.

A feeling of panic rising at the bottom of the ventricle.

While making him despair, is it tantamount to... losing him? Xiao Xixi didn't know. Looking at the ceiling, she couldn't describe her mood. Panic, hesitation, regret, or a kind of sadness? It was a mixed bag of emotions, and she couldn't explain why it was like this.

complex.

It's just Situ Leiyan. He should be a bad person. He should be meaningless, so why do he care?

In the afternoon, no matter how hard Zhong Yixuan tried to persuade and enlighten her, she could not forgive him for his "indecent" behavior towards her again. Although she was not extremely angry, she was still very awkward.

It felt like there was an untieable knot in her heart. Xiao Xixi turned around again, focused her eyes on the curtains, sighed, and forced herself to close her eyes.

The next day, I woke up early in the morning and continued all the procedures for the two babies every day, busy and busy. It was not until they were successfully sent to the kindergarten that Xiao Xixi breathed a sigh of relief again.

On the way to tutor, Xiao Xixi thought hard. What was the knot that had been bothering her all night last night? Before she knew it, the student's home had arrived. She stepped into the apartment elevator, knocked on her forehead, and couldn't remember.

, I just can’t remember. It’s more important to work first. I have a whole morning of classes scheduled today.

Xiao Xixi no longer dwelled on this, entered the student's home, put down her backpack, and gave the little boy a smile.

After the oral speech ended, it was almost noon. Xiao Xixi was packing up books when the little boy's mother came into the room and handed over a plate of fruit.

"Ms. cici, you did a great job, thank you very much!" The other party was a middle-level manager of a Chinese-funded enterprise. She was gracious and thanked her in relatively familiar Chinese.

"You're welcome, these are all what I should do." Xiao Xixi smiled sweetly, saying that she was so responsible mainly to be able to live up to her salary.

"Excuse me, do you have time in the afternoon? Can you do me a favor?" The boy's mother made an apologetic request. "I have a Chinese document that has been translated, but there are some parts that I still don't understand.

"

It turned out that this was the case. Xiao Xixi breathed a sigh of relief and nodded in agreement. It happened that there was nothing to do in the afternoon, so she stayed to help.

The document was very long, and legal terms were used in some places. Xiao Xixi often had to explain it several times before the other party could fully understand it. Although it took a lot of effort, she finally understood the matter after three or four hours.

Handing the document and a stack of explanation notes to her, Xiao Xixi felt very accomplished. She had been a housewife for too long and knew too little about things in the workplace. But this document had the feeling of a very formal job.

"Cici, are you interested in working full-time?" the other party asked implicitly.

Xiao Xixi smiled and replied: "I'm interested, but I have no work experience. I will definitely not be able to pass the interviews of many companies." If possible, of course she needs a full-time job.

"Then, if you are willing," the boy's mother handed her a business card, "you can try our company. I will recommend you to human resources. We are a Chinese-funded company and should be a good fit for you."

Xiao Xixi took the business card with both hands, as if she had found a treasure. Although she didn't know whether the hope was high or not, she was really excited about a miracle coming from heaven. This was the first time that an olive branch was offered to her.

"Thank you!" Xiao Xixi put the business card away without hiding her treasure. She was very moved, really very moved. No matter what job it was, no matter whether she could go or not, she was very excited.

"Then you can think about it carefully. The company always lacks local Chinese employees." The other party left a message.

On the way home, Xiao Xixi was humming a little tune, taking out her business card from time to time to admire it, and then secretly sighing for a while, her little self-confidence overflowing in her heart.

Within a few days, unable to resist the other party's recommendation, and the most important thing was that she wanted a full-time job, Xiao Xixi stood at the door of the company wearing a professional suit.

It wasn't until she stood at the gate of the company, looking at the towering buildings, that Xiao Xixi sighed. She didn't expect that the company where the other party worked was indescribably grand.

The United States attaches great importance to recommendations, and interviews are not difficult. With a letter of recommendation and only a few rounds of interviews, she came to the legal department surprisingly smoothly and was responsible for Chinese contract matters. Looking at the clean desk, Xiao Xixi's heart became bright.

I remember someone said that details determine success or failure. Opportunities are only reserved for those who are prepared. Don't ignore good deeds because they are small... and so on. She was immersed in the thought that just because she helped the other party that afternoon, she did what she did every time as a tutor.

In the meticulous joy, really, as long as you pay, you will be rewarded.

Returns are sometimes huge surprises! Xiao Xixi didn’t think any more, put away her bag, turned on the computer and started reviewing and proofreading the first contract. After reviewing it carefully for more than an hour, Xiao Xixi hugged her with a little apprehension.

Walking to the contract headquarters office with a contract of more than ten pages.

She was in such a good mood, she was overjoyed, and her whole face couldn't help but smile. Stepping on the soft carpet and looking at the people walking around in the corridor, she felt completely different.

Since she lost her memory, she really felt that leaving the workplace was too far away, but now that she has become one of many white-collar workers, she is really excited. When she arrived at the contract office, she knocked on the door, but there was no response.

A faint voice came out, "Please come in."

Xiao Xixi didn't think much and walked in with the contract in hand. As soon as she entered the door, she found that everyone in the office was facing one person like stars holding the moon. Xiao Xixi was a little surprised without any warning. When she looked along the gathered gazes, she saw

A very familiar person, and the other person just glanced over accidentally.

Their eyes met, and the two of them were stunned for a moment without anyone noticing.

Leng Zhiqing?! - Xiao Xixi was suddenly stunned. Should she say hello, or should she ignore him? Xiao Xixi looked at the people around her who were cautiously paying attention to him, a little confused, and this kind of choice between the two did not require her to make

Leng Zhiqing's indifferent gaze only stayed on her for a second, and then turned back with a blind eye.

Xiao Xixi had no intention of listening to him, but she could still hear him, as if he was emphasizing something. She walked to the end of the crowd and waited for Julie, the person in charge of collecting contracts, to collect the contract. She wanted to leave, but was pulled away by Julie.

live.

She gestured with her eyes, and Xiao Xixi understood immediately. When the whole room was focused, it was inappropriate for her to rush in and out again. Especially, she was disrespectful to Leng Zhiqing who was speaking. She had no choice but to be respectful rather than obey.

Just stay here for a while.

Xiao Xixi also followed the person's gaze and listened to his speech with a vague sense of presence.

Leng Zhiqing's voice was neither high nor low, just like his last name. It was faintly airy. I thought that after the first two encounters, the two of them would just get over it and pass each other in the vast sea of ​​people.

After that, I didn’t expect that fate couldn’t be explained at all.

It's okay now. Xiao Xixi took a deep breath. The first time they met was in a bar. The second time they met he was shot. The third time they met was in the workplace. Thinking about it carefully, they had seen such unusual occasions and situations.

Well, is it a familiar stranger or an unfamiliar acquaintance?

As she was walking, she noticed that the whole room ended with applause. Xiao Xixi saw that Leng Zhiqing stood up alone, with a tall, slender body and an extremely steady figure, pacing on long and slender legs, followed by a special assistant.

"Cici," Julie's voice interrupted Xiao Xixi's gaze, "Aren't you very manly?" She was filled with envy.

"Ah?" Xiao Xixi couldn't help but be surprised. She turned around and saw Julie, who was looking serious like a responsible person just now, looking at the door with gleaming eyes.

Julie said: "That's... our chairman, Leng Zhiqing. Let me tell you, you are really lucky. I happened to see him when I came to the company. He is so handsome!" She stole without any concealment.

laugh.

Xiao Xixi was a little puzzled: "If he... is the chairman, doesn't he come to the company often?" What use is there for such a chairman? It seems that his appearance is what attracts everyone. She was speechless.

"Of course I don't come here often. Director Leng is very mysterious. If you see me, you are really lucky!" After saying that, she no longer had a favorable tone, but became a little disappointed. She took the documents handed over by Xiao Xixi and seemed to be casually

After flipping through the pages, he said, "I don't know when I'll see you next time!" Then, there was another sigh.

So, Xiao Xixi understood. With outstanding appearance, rich wealth, and mystery, this Leng Zhiqing can indeed easily attract women. Except herself, of course. She shook her head helplessly: "Well, Julie, can you take a look at the contract?

?" Julie then began to seriously lower her head and review the documents.

The day's work ended quickly, and Xiao Xixi rushed to the kindergarten without stopping. Seeing Xiaojue and Xiaohui happily throwing themselves into her arms, her heart was filled with the simplest sense of happiness. Perhaps, being a mother has no other

As long as you see the two babies healthy and happy, you will be most satisfied.

"Mommy, look, my painting -" Xiaojue sat in the taxi and hurriedly unfolded the paper in his hand. This move also resonated with Xiaohui. She lowered her head and rummaged through her little bear bag with her little hands.

After a few times, he found a piece of paper, unfolded it, and said hurriedly: "Mommy, look at mine first!"

The elder brother was very tolerant. Xiaohui spread out his words, pointed at a few people in a dignified manner, and spoke childishly: "Mommy, this...is you, this is Xiaohui, Xiaojue...and daddy!

"

The last word "Daddy" made Xiao Xixi's heart tense for no reason, with a dull feeling of tension. She smiled sarcastically and coaxed: "Xiao Hui's painting is really good!"

"Mommy, I'm good at painting!" Xiao Jue quickly showed his painting to the same four people. Like Xiao Hui, he also started pointing and talking in a serious manner. However, before he could introduce "Dad"

Xiao Xixi hurriedly interrupted: "My dears, would you like to have Chinese food tonight?"

They need daddy, which is a small pain in her heart that can't be erased, but daddy can't be...Situ Leiyan.
