Finance Office on the eighth floor.
Zheng Shuyi walked towards the chief financial officer's office under the leadership of the female assistant.
Along the way, there are keyboard sounds and phone calls in the office area. "Finance" and "technology" are synonymous with busyness, even in high-level office areas.
Some assistants and secretaries outside the office were busy typing or answering the phone.
When Zheng Shuyi passed by the workstation on one side, he glanced out of the corner of his eye, and suddenly paused in his footsteps.
Qin Lezhi, who was sitting over there, also felt like he looked up from the computer.
She was still holding the phone between her cheek and shoulder, and she was typing on the keyboard with the other hand, looking very busy, but she just froze.
Both of them had doubts in their eyes.
Zheng Shuyi didn't expect to meet Qin Lezhi here.
Looking at where she was sitting again, I probably thought of what position she was in.
That's even more incredible.
The dignified lady is actually wearing a business attire like an ordinary person and sitting at the workstation like a busy little worker ant.
But after thinking about it, even Qin Shiyue, who can easily buy a store, goes to work in a magazine office from 9 to 5, earning a salary of several thousand yuan a month.
Maybe the rich are popular at the grassroots recently.
But Qin Lezhi didn't think so much.
There was only one thought in her mind, why did Zheng Shuyi come up anyway.
The eyes of the two met in the air, neither of them showed any kindness.
After a while, Zheng Shuyi withdrew his gaze and walked straight to the office.
Qin Lezhi frowned, hung up after answering a few words on the phone, and went to look at Zheng Shuyi's back again.
——Twice "Knock Knock", someone knocked on her table.
Qin Lezhi turned his head, only to notice that Qiu Fu's female assistant hadn't left yet.
"Don't leave after get off work for a while."
The female assistant dropped this sentence in a cold tone before going to catch up with Zheng Shuyi.
—
Sure enough, Qiu Fu arrived within fifteen minutes.
Zheng Shuyi just served the sixth cup of coffee.
She really wanted to vomit this time.
"Miss Zheng?" Qiu Fu opened the door and came in, put down the things in his hand, walked towards her and stretched out his hand, "I'm sorry to keep you waiting."
Zheng Shuyi immediately put down his coffee and stood up to shake hands with him. After being courteous, Qiu Fuchang sat down with a sigh of relief, "My secretary was negligent, I'm really sorry."
"It's ok."
Zheng Shuyi showed a generous smile, but actually clenched his teeth.
Originally, she didn't want to think about Qin Lezhi, but when Qiu Fu said this, it was because she deliberately concealed the report, so Qiu Fu left her and left.
"I would trouble you to come back again, and we can make an appointment next time."
"That won't work." Qiu Fu shook his head, "Today is the day we made an appointment, so I can't let you come here in vain."
Hearing this, Zheng Shuyi smiled, but inexplicably thought of Shi Yan in his mind.
She felt that Qiu Fu's sudden return was probably due to her rant.
—
The interview and investigation went smoothly. Qiu Fu was also willing to disclose key information about the IPO, so as to attract more attention from the outside world with the power of the media, so the chat lasted three hours.
When Zheng Shuyi put away the recording pen, the sky outside the window was already dark.
Qiu Fu got up, connected to the internal line, and called in the female assistant just now.
"You send a car to see Miss Zheng off."
Zheng Shuyi got up and said goodbye to him, "Our magazine society continues to follow up on your company's IPO project, and may trouble President Qiu a lot in the future."
Qiu Fu took a sip of water, and sat down slowly, "It's okay, we are all for mutual benefit, but next time you come here, just go upstairs, and I will explain it to you."
Zheng Shuyi nodded.
After watching her go out, Qiu Fu dialed the internal line again: "Come in."
After a while, Qin Lezhi pushed open the door of the office and said cautiously: "Mr. Qiu, did you call me?"
Qiu Fu put down his water glass heavily, "What happened to the reporter from Caijing Weekly today? Why didn't you tell me?"
As Qiu Fu's administrative secretary, Qin Lezhi has always been in charge of such chores.
But she works carefully and rarely makes such mistakes.
Today Qiu Fu had just picked up his son after school, and was about to have dinner with the family when he received a call from Shi Yan. He rushed back immediately and had to leave his wife and son aside. It's not a big deal for anyone.
Qin Lezhi frowned and lowered his head: "You are quite busy today, and there is an urgent video conference from the appraisal company. I think it's not very urgent for "Financial Weekly", so I put it on hold for now."
She took a peek at Qiu Fu's face, and saw that he was unhappy, so her attitude became more cautious, "Is it urgent here too?"
Qiu Fu didn't know how to tell her about the current situation. After holding back for a while, he could only point to her forehead and get angry: "You figured out your position, when is it your turn to arrange work for me? What are you? ? Who is he? Why don't you leave him there?"
Qiu Fu has always been a hot-tempered person, and everyone in the company understands this.
But Qin Lezhi didn't expect that this incident would make him so angry, and he would be so angry because of a reporter.
Isn't he just a reporter
This is not the first time that Qiu Fu has been interviewed. Even for people from the TV station, when he gets busy, he pushes it as soon as he says it, and sometimes he doesn't even answer the phone.
But Qin Lezhi couldn't express these doubts on his face.
Moreover, she saw through the glass that the office door was not closed tightly, and several colleagues were poking their heads there, so she could only apologize more sincerely: "I'm sorry, Mr. Qiu, this time it was my work mistake."
"Okay, get out!"
Qin Lezhi turned pale, turned and walked out of the office. In the eyes of everyone, he gritted his teeth and pretended nothing happened.
—
Here, Zheng Shuyi followed the female assistant to the elevator.
While waiting for the elevator, the female assistant was answering the phone, and Zheng Shuyi was doing nothing, staring at the jumping numbers on the LED screen without moving.
They were going downstairs, but at this moment the elevator was slowly descending from the twelfth floor.
A few seconds later, there was a "ding" and the elevator stopped.
After the door opened slowly, the female assistant reached out to her, "This way please."
As soon as Zheng Shuyi lifted his foot, he met the people in the elevator, and was stunned for a moment.
"Assistant Chen?"
Chen Sheng looked up and saw Zheng Shuyi, and nodded to her.
"Are you here to work?"
Zheng Shuyi said yes, and then looked him around, and asked tentatively: "You were here, and you were always there then?"
Chen Sheng didn't deny it, "What's wrong?"
Zheng Shuyi chuckled lightly.
She is obviously here, but she is still lying to her.
"Nothing." Zheng Shuyi didn't get into the elevator, and stood at the door, "Is he busy now?"
Chen Sheng thought for a while, then said slowly, "It shouldn't be too busy."
Zheng Shuyi: "Which floor is he on? Can I go find him?"
As soon as the words fell, the female assistant looked at Zheng Shuyi in surprise, and then looked at Chen Sheng.
Chen Sheng lowered his eyes and thought for a while, then stepped out and walked to the elevator next door.
"Come with me."
—
There are only three office areas on the twelfth floor, which are much more spacious and quiet than the tenth floor.
Zheng Shuyi saw many people walking in a hurry along the way, but did not hear any voices.
The door facing the passage was tightly closed. Chen Sheng led her to the door, looked at his watch, and said, "I still have something to do."
Zheng Shuyi nodded, and he turned around and left.
Zheng Shuyi stood at the door, looked up, and the LED screen above said "busy".
After thinking about it, she still rang the doorbell first.
After a while, the door opened automatically.
Zheng Shuyi first leaned his upper body in, and looked to the left, Shi Yan was sitting behind the desk.
He looked up, raised his glasses with his index finger, and Zheng Shuyi immediately walked over with a smile.
"Mr. Shi, aren't you here today?"
Shi Yan slowly closed the computer, and wrote lightly: "I come to my own company, and I still need your permission?"
Zheng Shuyi: "..."
With her hands behind her back, she looked left and right, her eyes flickering, as if hesitating for something.
Shi Yan didn't speak, just looked at her quietly.
Zheng Shuyi approached his desk slowly again, lowered his voice, and whispered: "I came here specially to thank you."
"Huh?" Shi Yan raised his eyebrows, "Thank you for what?"
"President Qiu's matter." Zheng Shuyi said, "Otherwise I'm going to run away again today."
After finishing speaking, Zheng Shuyi stared at Shi Yan closely.
Based on her understanding of Shi Yan, she felt that this man would definitely deny what he had done again.
However, unexpectedly, Shi Yan just gently turned the pen in his hand, with an exceptionally calm tone.
"Otherwise, when the time comes, you will have the yin and yang strange energy inside me?"
Zheng Shuyi pursed his lips, but did not speak.
It was originally a big truth.
There was a moment of silence in the office.
Zheng Shuyi moved towards him little by little, "Well, it's so late, you've worked so hard, have you eaten? Are you hungry?"
After finishing speaking, she looked at Shi Yan with a faint smile on her lips.
Shi Yan glanced at her, said nothing, and put the pen on the table in a nonchalant manner.
Zheng Shuyi put his fingers behind his waist, twisted twice anxiously, and saw Shi Yan stood up.
She opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't say anything, she just sighed.
And Shi Yan went straight to the sofa and took the coat from the hanger.
Look sideways.
"What do you want to eat."
—
Mingyu Yunchuang office building is located in the Jiangchenghu Technology Industrial Zone. It has been completed for more than 20 years, and the surrounding area has already been developed into a prosperous business district.
Zheng Shuyi likes to go shopping around here when he is free, so he is very familiar with the environment here.
"It's on the opposite side, do you see it?"
Zheng Shuyi stood on the side of the road, pointing to the neon sign of the hot pot restaurant opposite, "This restaurant is very famous, I don't know if there is a queue at this late hour, but it's fine if you line up."
The red light flashed to yellow, and Zheng Shuyi was about to cross the road immediately.
As soon as he took two steps, his hand was suddenly grabbed, and he was forced to the back.
Zheng Shuyi's feet were unsteady, and he staggered. He was pulled back to the original place. When he recovered, he realized that he was leaning against Shi Yan's chest.
Zheng Shuyi raised her hair and brushed her cheeks. She raised her head and met Shi Yan's gaze.
A car whized by beside him, honking its horn, the streets were brightly lit, and people were buzzing.
The evening wind seemed to stagnate at some point.
The hands were still tightly held, Zheng Shuyi felt the temperature in Shi Yan's palm, and felt his throat a little itchy.
For a moment, the green light came on.
The change of light shakes the mirror.
Shi Yan looked away and looked at the car rushing before the green light, with a gloomy expression.
And when he turned his gaze back, he saw Zheng Shuyi's trembling eyelashes, as if he was thinking of something else.
"Don't even look at the road, how can a hungry ghost reincarnate?"
Zheng Shuyi: "..."
She was thinking just now, whether she should just fall into his arms or not.
Now it seems to be true.
Shi Yan dragged her across the road, walking quickly.
Zheng Shuyi was wearing high heels and was almost staggeringly led across the sidewalk by him.
"Why are you walking so fast? I think you are the reincarnation of an evil ghost."
Shi Yan didn't seem to listen to her at all, and only let go of her hand when he walked to the side of the road.
Zheng Shuyi lowered her head and rubbed her fingers.
He was really strong enough to pull her so painfully.
—
Maybe it was luck today, there were not many people in the hot pot restaurant, and there were still several tables vacant.
But this does not affect the incompatibility between Shiyan and the atmosphere here.
He was sitting opposite Zheng Shuyi, and the waiter came up to pour water for them.
Zheng Shuyi buried her head in ordering, and didn't notice that Shi Yan on the opposite side picked up the cup, glanced at it, and put it down with some disgust.
"Do you eat hairy belly?"
"Don't eat."
"Do you eat goose intestines?"
"Don't eat."
"Do you eat yellow throat?"
"Don't eat."
"..."
Zheng Shuyi looked up from the menu, "Then what do you eat?"
Shi Yan took the hot towel handed over by the waiter, wiped his hands, "Just order."
Zheng Shuyi snorted softly, lowered his head and muttered.
"You are the kind of person who always says it's casual, but doesn't care about anything."
Unexpectedly, Shi Yan still listened to such a low-pitched muttering in twos and threes.
"What are you talking about?"
"It's nothing." Zheng Shuyi put down the iPad and grinned, "I said you are very nice."
After a while, the waiter put all the dishes on the table, and the red soup in the pot started to boil.
Holding the chopsticks, Zheng Shuyi dipped some sauce, and when he wanted to take a bite, he saw that Shi Yan's bowl was empty, so he said, "Shall I make the sauce for you?"
After finishing speaking, she took his bowl without waiting for Shi Yan's answer, and started tinkering around.
The hot air in the pot engulfed the lens.
When Shi Yan took off his glasses and wiped them with a tissue, he inadvertently raised his eyes, and Zheng Shuyi's hazy profile came into his sight.
The scene at the intersection suddenly flashed back to my mind.
Just like at this moment, when Zheng Shuyi looked up, Shi Yan looked away first.
Zheng Shuyi: "Do you eat coriander?"
Shi Yan: "Don't eat."
Zheng Shuyi: "..."
Zheng Shuyi lowered his head again.
"You're such a casual person."
In fact, she didn't know that Shi Yan didn't eat offal or coriander.
He is really simple, he just doesn't eat hot pot.
Suddenly, Shi Yan's cell phone on the table rang.
Zheng Shuyi didn't care, and lowered his head to get the seasoning on his own.
When Shi Yan saw it, saw the caller ID, and somehow had a bad feeling.
Sure enough, Qin Shiyue's voice was flustered when he answered the phone.
"Uncle! Uncle! Where are you?"
Shi Yan: "What?"
Qin Shiyue heard the noisy environment on the other end of the phone, but she didn't want to ask questions, her voice was trembling: "I just drove out to play by myself, and for some reason, I seemed to hit an old man when I parked on the side."
Shi Yan frowned, "What's going on?"
"I don't know either!" Qin Shiyue was about to cry, "Obviously there was nothing in the rearview mirror, but when I got out of the car, I saw the old man lying beside my car, clutching his legs and screaming."
"I went to help him, but he just lay there and couldn't even wake up!"
Time Banquet: "..."
"Uncle, come here quickly, my parents are not here, I don't know what to do!"
Shi Yan: "Understood."
"Don't cry."
After hanging up the phone, Zheng Shuyi just finished making the sauce.
Seeing Shi Yan's expression, and thinking about the phone call just now, she understood.
"Do you have something to do?" Zheng Shuyi said, "Do you want to go?"
Shi Yan nodded and said, "I'll pay the bill first."
Zheng Shuyi's expression gradually froze, "It's late at night, is there anything urgent?"
Shi Yan paused for a moment, "My niece is looking for me."
Zheng Shuyi: "...?!"
The faint sadness disappeared in an instant.
Zheng Shuyi's brain was boiling.
again! Yes! This! Duo! White! lotus! flower!
"Well, you go."
Zheng Shuyi nodded, "I'm fine, I can."
Shi Yan pursed his lips and looked down. Zheng Shuyi lowered his head, like a little white lotus that was blown by wind and rain.
"Do you know the level of loneliness in the world?"
"Eating hot pot alone is the fifth level."
"But it's okay, compared to waiting for you all night at Warner Manor, this is nothing."
"You go, it's okay."
"Remember to visit me in the mental hospital next time."
"If you're willing."
"..."
It was quiet for a while.
After a while, Shi Yan's cell phone was put back on the table.
"Go on."
Zheng Shuyi looked up at him.
He sat upright in front of her.
"Aren't you leaving?"
"Not leaving."
Shi Yan smiled slowly, looking straight at her, "Reluctant."
