Because of the rain, it got dark very early. Before get off work time, the streets were already pitch dark, and even the light from the street lights was just a hazy ball. People entering and leaving the Global Building always stopped and said "Hey". He looked at the woman standing in the rain curtain in surprise.
No one knew how long she had been standing there. It was raining heavily. She didn't hold an umbrella, and her whole body was soaked to the skin. Some security guards kindly came over to persuade her to leave, but she just shook her head quietly. No one said anything more.
Leave this stubborn lunatic alone.
She didn't do anything that affected the normal operation of the building, she just stood there quietly, motionless. The street lamp outlined her thin figure, like a paper figure, which would fall over when the wind blew.
Lin Xiangyuan looked out the window worriedly again.
In the afternoon meeting, each agent reported on the development plans of their artists for the next year. When Xi Xiangdong made a summary at the end, he made two mistakes in a row. Everyone noticed that he was obviously absent-minded today, and later he himself felt that he could not go on.
Then he lit a cigarette and said, "The meeting is over."
Lin Xiangyuan stayed to collect the meeting materials. He endured it and finally said it out: "Since Mr. Xi is worried about Miss Pei, why don't you ask her to come up."
Xi Xiangdong just held the cigarette and took a deep breath, his indifferent face looming behind the smoke ring.
"I remember when you first came to the company, I taught you. The best strategy at the negotiation table is not to ask others with a contract, but to let others come to you with conditions you are satisfied with."
"So...did you deliberately make Miss Pei wait?"
Before Lin Xiangyuan finished speaking, suddenly, a black Maybach stopped next to Pei Xiao. The two headlights on the front of the car illuminated the pouring rain, and it stopped with a screeching sound in the middle of the road. Pedestrians on both sides stopped and looked sideways.
"That's... Young Master Xi Wanlai?" Lin Xiangyuan said uncertainly.
Xi Xiangdong suddenly stood up from his seat and walked to the window.
I saw Xi Wanlai stepping out of the car, holding an umbrella in his hand and stretching it over Pei Xiao's head. Because of the heavy rain, I couldn't see clearly. I only saw Pei Xiao swaying twice and leaning on him.
Got into the car with him.
Snap - a sash of the blinds was broken in Xi Xiangdong's hands.
Lin Xiangyuan was a little embarrassed and asked, "Do you want me to go down and take a look?"
Xi Xiangdong was motionless. The rain was pouring down and rustling on the glass windows. Suddenly there was a flash of lightning outside, followed by another muffled thunder. Xi Xiangdong was startled for a moment. Under the dark sky, the Maybach had already driven into the rain. Finally,
Out of sight.
What Pei Xiao didn't expect was Xi Wanlai. The moment the umbrella covered her shoulders, she almost blurted out "Mr. Xi". The car lights illuminated his gentle and bright eyes, which were completely different from that person's deep and cold
.
The disappointment in her eyes was obvious. Xi Wanlai put the umbrella in her hands. Her hands were cold and without any warmth. Before she could hold the umbrella, she fell on him.
She was so thin that she had almost no weight when she fell on him, and he only pinched a handful of bones when he held her up.
He struggled to get her into the car, but her clothes were soaked and dripping. He used a tissue to help her wipe off the water droplets on her face. Her face was also cold, soaking in the water.
His lips were pale, and his lips were turning blue. When his fingers crossed, he felt like someone was pressing him somewhere in his heart, and it felt soft and painful.
