At this time, Wang Li had just returned to the office after lunch and continued to deal with the work at hand. Lao Zhou opened the door and walked in. He was empty-handed. He must have just come back from outside, and then came in directly.
After Wang Ligang heard the noise, he raised his head and looked towards the door. When he saw it was Lao Zhou, he didn't say anything. He just lowered his head and continued to process the documents in his hand.
"Hey, Lao Wang, what are you doing here?" He walked over and pulled out a chair and sat down. After all, he knew from Wang Ligang's attitude when he first came in that this guy didn't intend to entertain.
He, so he didn't intend to be polite, they were all old friends for many years anyway.
"It's nothing more than processing these documents and looking at these real estate properties." Wang Ligang said perfunctorily.
Lao Zhou nodded, and then asked: "Where is Zhang Xiaochen? I didn't seem to see her when I went out and came in just now."
"Her friend came to him with something to say, so I gave her a day off."
"It's so casual. I give you a day off when you say it's a day off. As expected, if you behave well, you'll get some privileges in whatever you do."
"Why did you come here to chat with me just to express your concern for Zhang Xiaochen?" Wang Ligang raised his head and stared at him.
"Of course not. She and I are not related, so why should I care about her? Besides, she belongs to your team, not to me."
"Yes, you don't seem to be such an idle person." Wang Ligang continued to deal with the work at hand.
"I don't care about her, but I came here to give you a kind reminder."
"What's the reminder?" Wang Ligang didn't think of anything worthy of his attention at the first time.
Lao Zhou lay on the table and tapped his fingers on the table, reminding Wang Ligang as if he was drawing a key point: "I'm just asking you, what do you think of Zhang Xiaochen now? Should you pay attention to it?"
After Wang Ligang heard this, he chuckled and said, "What's there to remind you? We are all colleagues, and no one is more capable than anyone else."
"But the strength she has shown in the past two months is much better than yours."
After Wang Ligang heard this, he remained silent for a moment without replying, and the pen tip that was moving in his hand also stopped flowing.
"The performance of this scene used to be mediocre, and it can be said that it is completely unsightly. However, Zhang Xiaochen's performance in the past two months since the beginning of the year has been amazing. This one after another comes one after another.
, I have won every order so well and have such strong working ability, but compared with you, you, the boss, seem to be much inferior."
Wang Ligang smiled again and said: "What can we do? We are still members of my team, and the overall performance still belongs to our team. Why is it possible that our team has ranked first in performance in the past two months, and some people are jealous?"
"It's not necessary to be jealous, after all, this is the strength of your team, but have you ever thought that you are the boss, but your subordinates are so much better than you. You have been sitting in this position for two years."
"Isn't it normal to work in a position for two years?"
Lao Zhou nodded and said meaningfully: "There is nothing strange about a position for two years, but as the saying goes, the able ones prevail. Zhang Xiaochen performed so well. If she can achieve such results again,
Promotion and salary increase are a matter of minutes. You said, if she takes your position by then, then you... In addition to bringing out Zhang Xiaochen, such a powerful person, you have no more outstanding performances. You
Where do you think your position will be moved?”
Now Wang Ligang finally heard what Lao Zhou meant, which made him start to fall into deep thought. Lao Zhou looked at Wang Ligang's expression and seemed to be quite satisfied with what he just said. After all,
Wang Ligang's thoughts have been shaken.
"We have been friends for many years. This is all I have to say. You can think about the rest for yourself." After Lao Zhou said this, he left the office. Wang Ligang watched Lao Zhou go out.
But Wang Ligang thought that Lao Zhou's visit must not be that simple, but he couldn't guess what Lao Zhou was thinking, but what Lao Zhou said was indeed a fact. Zhang Xiaochen's performance is really outstanding now
It is understandable that the superiors noticed her. If Zhang Xiaochen can continue to bring huge benefits to the company, it is possible for him to be promoted and get a salary increase. But if he wants to get promoted...even if he is promoted and has a salary increase, his
The position was not his first choice, but why Lao Zhou came to remind him casually was what Wang Ligang was puzzled about.
Wang Ligang's eyes fell on the two documents on the table.
At this time, Zhang Xiaochen and Tang Xiaofeng were walking slowly on the roadside under the scorching sun. However, the season at this time could barely be regarded as early summer, so it was not very hot. It was just that they had been in the sun for a long time, and Zhang Xiaochen also
Some can't stand it.
"Oh my god, Tang Xiaofeng, why did you drive so far? Now you can't even walk back for half a day, and there are no cars here. I'm really impressed by you."
Zhang Xiaofeng took out his mobile phone and looked at the map on the mobile phone, and then said: "There are only about fifty kilometers left. If we go further, there should be a car." Then he put the mobile phone back into his pocket.
, both hands are also in the pockets.
After Zhang Xiaochen heard this, he put his hands on his hips and looked at Tang Xiaofeng with resentment on his face and said: "I will never come out with you next time. After walking for so long, my feet will be blistered. The problem is that my mouth is still dry and I am tired.
Hungry again."
"Dry mouth, why didn't you say anything just now? There is mineral water in the trunk of the car."
After hearing this, Zhang Xiaochen had a look of despair on his face, looked at Tang Xiaofeng, and then said: "Oh my god, we are all going on foot, why don't you say a word if there is water?"
"You didn't say you wanted it. Let's keep walking. There should be a car ahead."
Zhang Xiaochen looked aggrieved and continued to walk forward, with one hand on his hip and the other hand fanning himself, saying: "What on earth do you want to do when you bring me out! It's been so long, I ask you, you
Don’t say anything.”
"I just want to take you out for a walk together."
"Take a walk? Are you satisfied now? It's really a walk, and I don't know how long it will take."
"Do you want me to carry you?"
"No!" Zhang Xiaochen resolutely refused. Tang Xiaofeng was a little disappointed, but he didn't show it. However, seeing Zhang Xiaochen in front of him, who was so arrogant, he couldn't help but smile.
Zhang Xiaochen asked: "I said, why are you here?"
"Of course I came here to find you."
"You know how to brag." Zhang Xiaochen glanced at Tang Xiaofeng.
"I came here to handle business matters, and then I stayed here."
"How did you get that photo last night?" Zhang Xiaochen stopped and looked at Tang Xiaofeng and asked.
But Tang Xiaofeng asked back: "Then can you tell me who that man is first?"
Zhang Xiaochen frowned unhappily and said: "Who is he and why do you care so much about him? Let me ask you where did you get that photo?"
Tang Xiaofeng said: "I took the photo above that beef hotpot restaurant."
Zhang Xiaochen's heart skipped a beat when he heard it, followed by surprise, and then confusion: "Since you saw me that night, why didn't you come to me?"
"I took the photo accidentally. I came back to the hotel that night and looked through the photos... and then I saw it. So the next day I went to the boutique and begged the boss to show me the camera, and then I saw you.
With that man."
Zhang Xiaochen still felt a little surprised when he heard this, and then said with some dissatisfaction: "So, in fact, it was just an accident that you met me. You didn't look for me at all. Fortunately, I am just being sentimental." In his tone,
Tang Xiaofeng could also hear the trace of disappointment. He wanted to explain, but Zhang Xiaochen had already taken another step and walked forward.
"Now that this is the case, let me ask you again, what happened to the savior Luo Luo mentioned? And how did you find Luo Luo?" Zhang Xiaochen quickly changed the topic and then questioned Tang Xiaofeng.
Tang Xiaofeng said: "I don't know, she said I saved her, but I don't have many memories of what happened back then. I just remember having a fight with a man, and then I came back to rent a house with a lottery ticket. That night
You took care of me."
When Zhang Xiaochen heard that he was hanging up, he stopped moving forward, and then recalled for a moment before saying: "A few years ago, you were hanging up? So this is how you got injured that night?" Then he turned around and looked at Tang Xiaofeng,
He smiled and said, "It's not bad. I didn't expect it to be a heroic act of self-righteousness. I asked you at the beginning, why didn't you tell me whether you were alive or dead? This is not a disgraceful thing."
This time it was Tang Xiaofeng's turn to be arrogant: "Huh, you have failed, but you still have the nerve to say it? After all, I was a king in the orphanage back then. I had never lost a fight. That night I was actually beaten
The beating was so ugly, do you think I can speak out?"
After Zhang Xiaochen heard this, he chuckled: "I didn't expect you to care about face so much. You care about face. You made your reputation so bad in the orphanage and you were not obedient." Zhang Xiaochen turned around and continued.
Moving forward, his steps seemed to be much lighter now, and Tang Xiaofeng followed her behind. Seeing that Zhang Xiaochen was in a happier mood, he seemed to feel relieved.
"It's okay. It's been so many years anyway, but I didn't expect that she could still remember that the girl was frightened and hid there. I didn't even pay attention to her appearance. That is, after the beating, she came over to take a look.
glance at me."
"Girls are always more cautious about special things and have deep memories. You are her savior and it is normal for her to remember you."
"Can you answer me now? Who is that man?" Tang Xiaofeng still did not give up the question and continued to ask Zhang Xiaochen.
Zhang Xiaochen said disapprovingly: "Ah Ming, he is my colleague. We were eating hot pot there that night, and then stopped by to buy something, and he accompanied me."
"You two just have a simple relationship as colleagues?" Tang Xiaofeng said with a little doubt in his tone.
"Otherwise, of course we are colleagues. Do you think she is my boyfriend? I don't have a boyfriend." After Zhang Xiaochen explained, the rest of the words came out like this, and Zhang Xiaochen didn't feel anything was wrong.
, after all, I didn’t say anything wrong.
But Tang Xiaofeng was deeply relieved when he heard it, especially when Zhang Xiaochen said that he didn't have a boyfriend. But soon Tang Xiaofeng began to worry about other problems again. Looking at Zhang Xiaochen's back, he quickened his pace and walked
Go up and be side by side with her.
Zhang Xiaochen looked at Tang Xiaofeng standing next to him, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He didn't expect that after so many years, Tang Xiaofeng had changed a lot. He was no longer the boy he was before, the one who could play with him unscrupulously.
The naughty boy looked extremely mature in his suit and leather shoes, but Zhang Xiaochen suddenly thought of Tang Xiaofeng's behavior in the morning, and felt that the man in front of him was very childish, and then a touch of loss slipped through his eyes.
There was an awkward atmosphere between the two people. They were silent for a while, and then Zhang Xiaochen asked: "How have you been doing these years?"
"Everything is fine. After you left, I took over my dad's company, so I have been taking care of the company all these years. It has developed well and has not embarrassed him."
Zhang Xiaochen lowered his head, hesitated, and then said: "Well, what, how are you and Su Xueqiong doing now? You haven't really divorced her, have you?"
Tang Xiaofeng had already expected that Zhang Xiaochen would ask, and then said in a low voice, "I'm sorry, his father just passed away at that time, so I had to take care of her, and because of some public opinions in the business world, the divorce has never been possible."
"That's it, that's good. Then you two are living a happy life now, right?" Zhang Xiaochen asked cautiously, even his voice slowly lowered, seeming a little humble.
"There is not too much communication. We all live our own lives without interfering with each other."
Zhang Xiaochen also felt inappropriate when he heard this: "Aren't you two husband and wife? You have been married for so many years, isn't this bad?"
Tang Xiaofeng seemed unwilling to mention it, but he had to say: "Silly girl, you clearly know that this kind of marriage is not what I want. I did it all for you."
"I know, I have always known that you married her to save me, so I have always been very grateful to you in my heart. But, after all, you two are already married, and you have been treating her like this for so many years.
Isn't she inappropriate?"
When Tang Xiaofeng felt a little pain in his heart, he suppressed the anger in his heart: "Then what do you want me to do to her? Be a formal couple with her?"
Then Tang Xiaofeng caught Zhang Xiaochen and looked at Zhang Xiaochen very hurt.
