Tang Lin turned her head, and her long waist-length hair swung around her back. The thick long hair covered half of her fair face, which reminded Zhang Xu of something.
"Still holding the pipa, half-hiding my face"
It was probably about this time.
"Linlin, you are so beautiful." Zhang Xu said subconsciously.
It was okay to say it privately, but there were several colleagues in the design department who also heard it. They all lowered their heads desperately for fear that the boss would notice them.
The relationship between Mr. Zhang and the new senior designer Tang Lin is well known in the company and is not a secret.
After Zhang Xu finished speaking, he realized that the occasion was wrong and that he had expressed wrong feelings, so he quickly said: "Okay, I won't say anything else. You guys hurry up and clean up. Let's have a dinner together after get off work."
After saying that, he left.
Other colleagues came over to ask Tang Lin, is Mr. Zhang always like this at home?
How could Tang Lin tell them such intimate topics? She turned around and continued drawing.
There are not many people in the company now, not even 100 people. Zhang Xu walked around several major departments in the company, and it didn't take long for him to notify them. He asked the administrative office to find a place for the dinner.
The hot pot we had last time was changed to seafood this time.
This time they are celebrating a phased technological breakthrough in product research and development. This is a major leap forward, and the team building expenses are not so strict.
In the evening, everyone had a good time and drank a lot of wine.
As the most down-to-earth general manager of 'Xiaoai Technology Co., Ltd.', Zhang Xu naturally received special care from everyone. Everyone who drank wanted to touch him, even those who drank drinks did not let him go.
They seemed to be queuing up to come and take a walk.
Zhang Xu was not pretentious and would not refuse anyone who came, but he only took a small sip to show his appreciation.
But just like that, when the guys separated, Zhang Xu looked a little unsteady on his feet.
On the way back, it was Tang Lin who was driving. She was talking to Zhang Xu in the car: "Zhang Xu, if you don't drink, no one will force you. Why are you wasting yourself like this?"
"Just to be happy, product research and development has made important progress, everyone is happy in their hearts, we can't let it down." Zhang Xu said, and he became a little more awake.
Tang Lin sighed: "Zhang Xu, are you feeling a lot of pressure?"
Zhang Xu didn't hide it from Tang Lin, he said: "The bosses gave me a project worth hundreds of millions to operate independently, and I also want to get it done as soon as possible!"
Tang Lin had already seen that Zhang Xu's high salary was not that easy to earn.
Under the spotlight, she looks powerful and cool, but she knows very well that behind the scenes, Zhang Xu often doesn't get enough rest.
Slowly moving forward in the long traffic, it took Tang Lin more than an hour to drive back to the community and drive to the downstairs of her rental apartment.
The 80-square-meter house that Zhang Xu lived in before left early. Under Zhang Xu's shameless offensive, the two had already 'living together' a few days before the Chinese New Year.
But most of the time they lived in the same room, and occasionally slept in the same bed. Zhang Xu enjoyed it, but he still didn't make the final breakthrough.
"Zhang Xu, can you still walk? Can you let me help you?" Tang Lin pushed him and asked.
…
Zhang Xu had been in the car for more than an hour, and under the influence of alcohol, he had fallen asleep in the car.
After being pushed twice by Tang Lin, Zhang Xu woke up. He shook his head and looked around. He was surprised: "We're home. Oops, I'm a little dizzy."
"Come down quickly, I'll help you go upstairs." Tang Lin said.
A few minutes later, Tang Lin helped Zhang Xu go upstairs and asked him to take a shower to wash away the strange smell. Tang Lin went back downstairs to get something in the car.
After Zhang Xu took a warm bath, his overall condition was much better. He sat on the sofa and drank a cold drink. He looked at Tang Lin who was busy and thought to himself: "With a wife like this, what else can a husband ask for?"
After Tang Lin finished cleaning up, Zhang Xu suddenly called her: "Linlin, come here and let me tell you something."
"What's the matter? Tell me, I can hear you." Tang Lin said.
But Zhang Xu was as willful as a child. He said, "Come here, hurry up."
Tang Lin found it funny, but she still followed him, walked to the living room, looked at him and asked, "Okay, what do you want to say?"
Zhang Xu looked at Tang Lin. At this moment, Zhang Xu felt that she was really beautiful, but he always felt that something was wrong.
His mind was spinning rapidly. After thinking for a while, an idea flashed in his head and he said again: "Linlin, tie your hair up in a ponytail like the first time I saw you."
"Why are you so busy?" Tang Lin was annoyed and wanted to go back to the bedroom.
But Zhang Xu quickly said: "Hurry up, I have something very important to tell you!"
"You're so verbose!" Tang Lin still obeyed him and went to the bedroom to get a rubber band. She held her hair together with both hands and tied it skillfully with a few strokes of the black rubber band.
After she came out of the bedroom, Zhang Xu's eyes lit up as he was staring at the door of the bedroom. He seemed to have seen that time when he was eating in the Lu Cuisine restaurant, a strange young woman came across from him and asked him about the table.
Is there anyone else? Can she sit down?
"Linlin, sit down, hurry up!" Zhang Xu patted the sofa next to him and motioned for Tang Lin to sit down quickly.
"Zhang Xu, what's wrong with you? I'm already sleepy. It's time to go to bed." Tang Lin muttered.
She pointed outside and said, "Look how dark it is. If you hadn't been drinking, you should have rested long ago."
While talking, Tang Lin sat next to Zhang Xu again.
Zhang Xu said: "Linlin, do you still remember the first time we met?"
Hearing his question, Tang Lin also slowly recalled the first time they met. She said with a smile: "Remember, I asked you to borrow a table for dinner. I had to do a big job that night and had to work overtime.
When I was done, I was tired and hungry, so I thought about having a good meal to reward myself."
Zhang Xu was surprised: "You just ordered that one dish. Is that considered a reward for yourself?"
"Otherwise, I usually just drink a bowl of wontons, eat ramen, or eat a steamed bun to survive." Tang Lin said with a smile.
Zhang Xu felt a little sad for no reason.
He said: "Don't many women spend as much as they earn? You earned a lot before, but you were still reluctant to eat?"
…
Tang Lin gave him a strange look and said, "Who did you listen to? If a girl goes out without any friends, she must save money if she can. Otherwise, if something happens to her, she won't be able to do it."
As for money, it will be uncomfortable when the day comes and the earth and the earth are unable to function."
Listening to Tang Lin's words, Zhang Xu's heart tightened. He subconsciously held Tang Lin's hands and said, "Silly girl, after you met me, you will be different from before.
"
"Haha!" Tang Lin smiled and nodded heavily: "I know, you haven't seen that I spend money very much now, and I almost lose control."
This means that she has confidence in her heart, has something to rely on, and knows that she doesn’t have to be afraid even if she spends all the money she earns.
She spoke the most sincere words of love in the simplest words.
Zhang Xu also understood. When he heard this, he took out a palm-sized, heart-shaped little red box from behind, opened the box gently, and looked up at Tang Lin with a smile. There was a diamond ring inside.
There were no testimonials from relatives and friends, there were no dazzling scenes, and there were no flowers. There was only Zhang Xu’s smiling face, and the LED lights in the room were still emitting warm light as usual.
He gently said the simplest words: "Linlin, will you marry me?"
"I'm sorry that I didn't choose a square with lots of people and bustling streets. I couldn't get a cart of roses. I didn't even have time to prepare a bottle of red wine."
"But I can promise to give you a warm home in the future, so that you will have no worries about food and clothing."
Tang Lin kept listening quietly.
At this moment, apart from the two of them, there was no third person in the room, and there was no romantic candlelight dinner. There was no time to decorate the room in advance, put up window grilles, put up latte art, etc.
But Tang Lin suddenly realized that she didn't need those dazzling things at all. She liked peace and quiet and didn't like to join in the fun. The occasional sense of ritual in her monotonous life was a great surprise to her.
She thought it was good as it was now. The diamond ring in the heart-shaped jewelry box and Zhang Xu's sincere and plain proposal made her feel more romantic than she had ever experienced in her life!
The next moment, with a bright smile on her face, she said softly: "Zhang Xu, look at me."
Zhang Xu did it.
Tang Lin asked him: "Is this a formal proposal to me?"
"You drank tonight. Don't be impulsive after drinking. Are you mentally prepared to take care of me for the rest of your life?"
"I am also ready to take care of you, and even take care of you and your children in the future. I am not sure whether this life will be full of glory and wealth..."
After hearing what Zhang Xu said, Tang Lin raised her hand to block his mouth, shook her head and said with a smile: "I don't need any glory or wealth, even if you are an ordinary person now, doing an ordinary job, even if
Eating pickled steamed buns every day and living in a rented house, I accept it, as long as you are nice to me."
"Besides, I can also make money. You don't need to work hard on your own. How about we work hard together in the future?" Tang Lin asked him.
"Okay, okay!" Zhang Xu nodded frequently.
"Then why are you still standing there? Carry me in." Tang Lin said proactively.
Hearing what he said, Zhang Xu was a little stunned and didn't react for a while.
"I don't want to pull you down, I'm going to bed." Tang Lin was a little annoyed. She usually got up and down, but now she wanted to do it for real, and she pretended not to understand again?
This time Zhang Xu understood. He didn't care about anything else. He stood up and rushed into the bedroom with Tang Lin in his arms.
