When Shen Xi went to look for He Zhizhou, he was having a group meeting inside. He had a signboard of a group leader hanging on his chest, and his slender fingers tapped on the mouse with a calm aura, but he was obviously the youngest inside. one of.

He Zhizhou... the group leader... what an amazing existence!

Shen Xili took a look outside, the whole S&N is not big, but the office design inside is young and bright, the glass door is the front desk, the girl at the front desk has an apple face and is very pretty.

Shen Xi took two steps back and forth outside, but still decided not to go in and disturb He Zhizhou. There are still two hours before He Zhizhou gets off work, and she plans to go shopping in a nearby shopping mall.

She was about to turn around, when the light blue glass door was pushed open with a sweet and crisp "Header He" from the front desk, and a slender and tall figure came out from inside. Shen Xi turned his head, He Zhizhou took two steps calmly, and then waved to her.

This person is really, won't he come over? Shen Xi was unwilling to walk over, and finally, because of her boyfriend's good looks, she moved slowly, and she came to He Zhizhou: "Aren't you in a meeting, why did you come out?"

He Zhizhou just smiled and said nothing, his girlfriend finally came to visit, how could he not go out to greet him? He was indeed in a meeting just now, but just in the middle of the discussion, the group of "programmers" were all attracted by the young girl outside the door. He turned his head and saw that the girl outside was his girlfriend

Shen Xichu was in front of He Zhizhou, where she and he were facing the S&N glass window, the blinds were half open, and five or six heads at the conference table were looking at her curiously. She could see inside, and the people inside could also see her and He Zhizhou.

Shen Xi suddenly understood the reason why He Zhizhou asked her to come to his side, did he want to show his affection, or did he show his affection

Regarding this question, He Zhizhou seemed to know what she was thinking, and explained a few words calmly: "Do you know that having a girlfriend at work in the company can save a lot of trouble, such as not having to socialize after get off work, for example..."

For example, let the beautiful girl at the front desk give up as soon as possible, right? He really made the best use of everything! Shen Xi glanced at the disappointed face of the little girl at the front desk, and blinked at He Zhizhou. It's good that his boyfriend has such an awareness.

She was going to leave first, He Zhizhou looked at the time on the phone, and said to her: "There is a nice dessert restaurant upstairs, you can go up and have a cup of coffee, and then wait for me."

"Okay." Shen Xi nodded, very well-behaved and very negotiable.

He Zhizhou had a top-up card for a dessert shop, and he took it out and handed it to her. She took it bluntly, and waved goodbye to the curious "colleagues" before leaving. Everyone waved to her with friendly smiles. As a result, when He Zhizhou looked at them, they turned their heads in unison, pretending to continue doing what they were doing.

Is this the deterrent power of the team leader

Shen Xi also waved to He Zhizhou, saying goodbye temporarily: "See you later."

"See you later." He Zhizhou said lightly, reached out and patted her on the head, then walked back to the company with a serious face and indifferent expression.

What a great boyfriend!

The dessert shop is just above S&N, just as Shen Xi sat down, a message came first. The message was sent by He Zhizhou, specifically telling her what kind of tea he likes here, and very honestly suggested that she also try it.

Shen Xi hummed in his heart, but he also ordered He Zhizhou's favorite afternoon tea and dessert.

There are fewer customers now, and the waiter quickly brought tea and desserts. She thought about it in her heart: Does He Zhizhou come here for a cup of afternoon tea every afternoon? Is he alone, or with colleagues

She thinks that He Zhizhou is a bit of a cool guy, and he definitely won't deliberately manage friendship. So will he have interpersonal troubles in the workplace

But he also looks like this in the 921 dormitory, but the monkey and the strong man still like him very much.

Two hours is not difficult, half of the time has passed in "Thinking East and West", not to mention that the boyfriend is downstairs. The window seat of the dessert shop is facing Linguang Street in City S. The last rays of the setting sun lazily shine on the billboard of the opposite building, and the reflected golden light is dazzling. There is a sentence written on the billboard - "Dream is a seed hidden in the city's ground."

It's just a city of steel and concrete, how easy is it to break through the ground for dreams

This is the slogan of an outdoor sports equipment company. He Zhizhou bought their mountaineering clothing. At that time, she accompanied He Zhizhou to buy brands together. She liked a foreign brand, but He Zhizhou chose theirs. Shen Xi rested his chin and thought of another question: Does He Zhizhou have a dream

He is so good, so independent, he must have a dream, right? Shen Xi patted her head, such a serious question, no matter how much she thought about it, she thought of Wang Feng, and there will be headlines later...

Thought spread too fast, Shen Xi himself couldn't keep up with the rhythm.

In the evening, S&N had a colleague gathering, but He Zhizhou refused.

Shen Xi rode He Zhizhou's horse back to the old apartment, because He Zhizhou refused the gathering of colleagues, she muttered and educated behind her: "He Zhizhou, the company talks about interpersonal relationships at work, and the gathering of colleagues is such a good opportunity, why don't you go? ?”

He Zhizhou walked around an alley, and lightly threw out a sentence: "Men don't care about relationships, but strength."

All right.

In a word, she blocked Shen Xi's next words, she shook her legs, and felt that what He Zhizhou said was too correct, what kind of relationship does a man talk about, he just wants to talk about strength.

She stepped down in time: "Like one, it makes sense."

Going home at night, Shen Xi wanted to eat noodles with fried sauce, He Zhizhou said that he could consider trying it. He searched for the method of "jajang noodles" on his mobile phone, and then put it on the dressing table to follow the steps.

He Zhizhou started to cook noodles, and Shen Xi ran over with peeled potatoes in his hand. She felt that He Zhizhou's image of a family cook at this time was really against the style of a great god, and she said, "He Zhizhou, can I ask you a deep question?"

He Zhizhou ignored her at all, and didn't believe that she could ask deep questions.

Shen Xi was not convinced, and asked directly: "He Zhizhou, do you have a dream?"

He Zhizhou glanced at her and asked her back, "Are you Wang Feng?"

ah ah! How could he say she was Wang Feng? ! But He Zhizhou actually knew about Wang Feng? Shen Xi asked in a different way: "My childhood dream is to find Prince Charming, what about you?"

The boiling water boiled, and He Zhizhou threw noodles into it, as if a martial arts master was firing a rainstorm pear blossom needle. After finishing the noodles, he turned his head calmly and said, "Congratulations, your dream has come true."

What, a dream come true? Shen Xi looked at He Zhizhou with a bare potato, and she was changed again!

Today is Friday, and Shen Xi and He Zhizhou watched "The Voice of X" together to feel the problem of dreams. During commercial time, she held a bowl of mashed potatoes in her hand, she ate a mouthful and fed He Zhizhou a mouthful, unconsciously bottoming out.

She ate half of the last bite, and handed the remaining half to He Zhizhou. He Zhizhou scolded her as "disgusting", but still leaned in to take it.

Shen Xi was very proud: "You can eat disgusting too."

After the commercial ended, He Zhizhou put his arms around her and continued to watch: "You misunderstood, I didn't scold you just now, I scolded myself."

Well, she doesn't pursue it anymore. Shen Xi lay in He Zhizhou's arms giggling wildly. Tomorrow is Saturday, she wants to swim with He Zhizhou.

He Zhizhou shook his head and refused: "After that incident, I am not interested in any sports related to water."

The poor child was terrified. But she just bought a swimsuit online. When women go swimming, exercise is second, and the most important thing is to show a beautiful swimsuit and a good figure.

Shen Xi dawdled with He Zhizhou: "But I just bought a swimsuit, I want to wear it."

He Zhizhou still refused, and suggested: "You can wear it now."

snort! Shen Xi glared at He Zhizhou angrily, then stood up and walked towards the room with a very tempered look. He Zhizhou asked her from behind: "Where are you going?"

Shen Xi stomped his feet: "Change into a swimsuit!"

The next day was Saturday, and they agreed to go boating together on Siming Lake, but He Zhizhou missed the appointment. At six o'clock in the morning, the company's testing department called him and asked him to go to S&N.

Shen Xi was still sleeping in a daze, and felt that He Zhizhou had woken up, and she would follow suit: "Is it already late?"

"It's still early, you go to bed first." He Zhizhou pushed Shen Xi who was struggling to get up back to the bed, he kissed her forehead and said, "Shen Xi, I'm going to the company."

Shen Xi squinted her eyes, she hadn't fully woken up yet, but she also knew that the boating plan she had been looking forward to all night was in vain. She didn't want He Zhizhou to go out, so she asked dissatisfied and wronged: "Isn't today Saturday..."

He Zhizhou stroked Shen Xi's long back hair apologetically: "Temporarily work overtime, call if you have something to do."

unhappy. Shen Xi deliberately kicked off the quilt, turned over and continued to sleep.

He Zhizhou pulled the quilt and covered her back. Then he stood by the bed and put on his shirt, rustling, as if the only sound remained in the quiet room.

He Zhizhou was about to leave, but in the end Shen Xi got out of the quilt obediently, and she stretched out her hand to him: "Hold one."

He Zhizhou bent down and hugged Shen Xi with an unbelievably soft heart.

He Zhizhou had to work overtime on Saturday, which made Shen Xi who was waiting for a date with He Zhizhou on Saturday very disappointed, but she had to let him go to work.

He Zhizhou left, and Shen Xi also got up bored.

After washing up, she practiced dancing in the living room until nine o'clock, and then watched a movie alone. I ate takeaway at noon. After washing the dishes, I found that half of a good Saturday had passed.

Shen Xi still decided to go swimming, she went alone!

She is not good at swimming, so when she bought a new swimsuit, she also bought an adult swimming ring. She was busy tidying up her things, and was about to go out with the swimming ring when the bell rang outside the door.

Shen Xi ran to Maoyan to have a look, and opened the door.

There was a delicately dressed woman standing outside the door. After a few seconds of looking at each other, the woman smiled and asked, "You are Shen Xi, right?"

Hey... Why does this voice sound so similar to her future mother-in-law? ! Shen Xi hurriedly put down the swimming ring, she carefully looked around the facial features of the woman, she saw the origin of He Zhizhou's cold eyebrows.

Shen Xi reacted quickly, and quickly greeted He Zhizhou's mother at the door.

Huh, she hasn't graduated from university yet... Why do she have to meet the man's relatives two times in a row, grandpa and mother-in-law, and she has to face the most cheating thing alone.

Zhong Jingyue smiled and sat down on the sofa. She glanced at the swimsuit and swimming ring in her bag, and asked her with a smile, "Are you going to go swimming?"

Trembling, Shen Xi brought a glass of water over and nodded honestly: "I didn't know you would come."

Zhong Jingyue smiled: "I'm sorry, I disturbed you."

Shen Xi shook his head, don't get me wrong, she didn't mean that.

Zhong Jingyue stood up, looked around the whole room and said, "This is my father's old house. Zhizhou lived here with his grandfather for a while when he was a child."

"Oh." Shen Xi did not forget to nod his head after listening, as if he was listening to an imperial decree.

Zhong Jingyue turned around: "Don't call me, aren't you going to swim?"

Shen Xi blinked her eyes: Grandma is so funny, can she still swim now

As a result, it turns out that nothing is impossible in this world. In the end, Shen Xi soaked in the swimming pool with Zhong Jingyue, and it didn't feel like cheating at all.

Zhong Jingyue swam like a mermaid in the water. She kept thumping in the shallow water with a swimming ring on. Tired of thumping, she lay on the edge of the pool panting.

Zhong Jingyue walked back and forth, Shen Xi climbed ashore, took the towel from the staff, walked barefoot to the nearby beach chair and sat down. At the same time, He Zhizhou received a text message from the mobile phone in the bag: "What are you doing?"

Woohoo, he finally texted her back! Shen Xi replied with great confusion: "Swim with your mother."

He Zhizhou: "..."

Zhong Jingyue also went ashore, walking over gracefully. Shen Xi smiled at her shyly: "I haven't been able to swim well since I was a child."

"It's okay, Zhizhou is not bad at swimming, I can let him teach you in the future." Zhong Jingyue put on a bathrobe.

But your son doesn't dare to go into the water with her at all... Shen Xi ordered two servings of fresh coconut juice, honored Zhong Jingyue with a flattering smile, and said, "Auntie."

"Thank you." Zhong Jingyue took a breath and lazily leaned on the recliner.

Shen Xi sat cross-legged on the beach chair, and continued to send text messages to He Zhizhou.

"Shen Xi." Zhong Jingyue spoke.

Shen Xi immediately put down the phone and turned his head: "Auntie, tell me."

"You don't have to be so polite, kid." Zhong Jingyue laughed, "What do you think of our Home Continent?"

Shen Xi rolled his watery eyeballs: "... very good."

"Yes, there have always been many girls who like him." Zhong Jingyue looked at her, with a hint of pride in his tone.

Shen Xi pretended not to understand, and she said more proudly: "Really, it's just that He Zhizhou chased me first." After Shen Xi finished speaking, she felt uneasy, but it was indeed He Zhizhou who chased her first, wasn't it? She wasn't lying.

Zhong Jingyue was a little curious, but believed it. She wondered how He Zhizhou's character would chase after girls, and then thought that maybe she didn't care enough about her son. Zhong Jingyue closed her eyes and fell asleep. There were not many people in the swimming pool, but she could still feel a lot of footsteps passing by her eyes, back and forth.

She opened her eyes, turned her head to look at the girl on the left, she was really young. "Shen Xi, I came back to China to see you specially." Zhong Jingyue said.

ah? specially! Shen Xi became nervous: "You are too polite, I should go to see you with He Zhizhou."

Zhong Jingyue laughed: "It can be seen that you and Zhizhou have a very good relationship."

Shen Xi lowered his head, um, it's pretty good.

Zhong Jingyue clasped her hands, she wanted to say something to Shen Xi, but these words were a bit difficult to say. She is He Zhizhou's mother, but she doesn't seem qualified to play the role of mother here.

Shen Xi looked at Zhong Jingyue, and tried to ask: "Do you have something to tell me?"

Zhong Jingyue regained her composure and nodded, feeling in her heart that the more she got in touch with Shen Xi, the more she liked her. She turned her head and said, "Shen Xi, do you know that Zhizhou applied for the American Research Institute last year?"

Last year... Last year, she didn't know He Zhizhou. But she knew about it, He Zhizhou had already told her about it. Shen Xi nodded, she somewhat understood why Zhong Jingyue was looking for her.

"It was a very good opportunity. Both his father and I hope that he can go there." Zhong Jingyue directly explained her intention of coming, "Originally, it was his plan and arrangement to continue his studies in the United States. So, when he first learned He chose to stay and work in China, which surprised both his father and me."

Shen Xi lowered his head, he really understood. A second ago, she thought that her mother-in-law was here to see her, but it turned out that she was here to ask the teacher for a crime... But it can't be said that it was a question for the teacher.

Zhong Jingyue continued: "Xiaoxi, I hope you can understand the feelings of Zhizhou's father and I. Our husband and wife relationship is not good, but we both hope that our son will develop better."

Shen Xi closed his eyes slightly and remained silent. She could understand the feelings of He Zhizhou's parents, but... after a long time, she said, "Auntie, He Zhizhou is doing very well in China... He now has an annual salary of 500,000..."

"Yeah." Zhong Jingyue looked at the swimming pool calmly, "It's really good to have half a million dollars just after graduation, and it's even an achievement that many people can't achieve in a lifetime of hard work. But Xiaoxi, what do you think the value of Zhizhou is? Five hundred thousand?"

Shen Xi was smart for a while: "I don't think the value of a person is only reflected in his annual salary."

"Yes." Zhong Jingyue laughed happily, "Zhizhou is the same, he is still very young, his value should not be reflected in a small company, should it?"

Shen Xi couldn't say a word for a long time.

Zhong Jingyue looked at Shen Xi with sincere eyes: "So Xiao Xi, can you help me persuade Zhizhou?"

Shen Xi: "... I don't know." She didn't know how to persuade her.

"I know I'm making things difficult for others." Zhong Jingyue laughed at herself. "Speaking of which, I'm a failed mother. I can't persuade my son by myself, and I still count on my daughter-in-law. But Xiao Xi, there is one thing you can't deny. You stayed in the country."

For her? ! Shen Xi became completely dumb, she looked at Zhong Jingyue: "I asked He Zhizhou, he said that he has already signed a contract with S&N, if he leaves, he will have to pay a lot of liquidated damages."

"Liquidated damages are not a problem." Zhong Jingyue said softly, "Shouldn't the most important thing be Zhizhou's own wishes? I already know the amount of liquidated damages, and as a mother, I will bear the money for him."

Shen Xi: "..."

"Xiaoxi, this world is inherently unfair. The most unfair thing is that everyone's life value is different. Some people live this life silently, but some can leave their names in history. The United States recognizes Zhizhou's talent, Everyone believes that he will have a high development. Of course, I am not saying that it is not good in China, but I just don’t want him to be confined to a small circle and become an ordinary office worker.”

Shen Xi lowered his head, his voice was a little low: "But how do you know Brother He doesn't want to be an ordinary office worker?"

"But you don't know if Zhizhou likes to be an office worker, do you?" Zhong Jingyue asked her back, "Xiao Xi, don't you want Zhizhou to become better?"

Shen Xi was confused. What does it mean to be better, and to what extent does it have to be better

Holding a mobile phone in her hand, Zhong Jingyue continued, "Xiaoxi, to be honest. I don't want Zhizhou to determine his life direction too early. If he still chooses to return to China after finishing his studies at the American Institute, I can definitely Accept it, even be proud of him. But not now, he is still young, he can learn more, and he can get in touch with the best talents in the world. He should not be caught by the impetuousness of this society too early Erase talents and dreams."

"Everyone is different. The current Zhizhou may also think that the annual salary of 500,000 yuan is very great. This has something to do with his age and surrounding environment, because he may already be the best among them. But the fact is that he can do Even better, he can even create higher life value, this value is not only in money, but also a contribution to the whole society, isn't it?"

"Xiaoxi, I think you must also know that Zhizhou has this ability."

Well, she knows.

Shen Xi met He Zhizhou again, she and Zhong Jingyue had already come out of the swimming pool. He Zhizhou and Zhong Jingyue were really not very close, they greeted each other lightly, and said nothing else.

Shen Xi stood beside him holding the swimming ring and suggested: "Why don't we have dinner first."

Zhong Jingyue had a car coming, He Zhizhou took the car keys to drive Zhong Jingyue's car, Shen Xi gave up the co-pilot seat to Zhong Jingyue, and consciously opened the rear door. Zhong Jingyue stopped her: "Xiaoxi, sit in front."

Shen Xi got into the co-pilot, He Zhizhou glanced at her, and asked her: "What do you want to eat?"

Shen Xi turned his head and asked Zhong Jingyue: "Auntie, what do you want to eat?"

Zhong Jingyue leaned on the seat, named a restaurant, and added: "I remember you liked the food here when you were young."

He Zhizhou was silent, he didn't drive often, and he could turn the car around familiarly.

Dinner is at a restaurant with the architectural style of the Republic of China. Zhong Jingyue didn't say a word about studying at the American Research Institute, and the whole process was filled with simple concerns and greetings.

After dinner, Zhong Jingyue took out the card from her bag to pay the bill, He Zhizhou settled the bill first, Zhong Jingyue shrugged helplessly.

Shen Xi glanced at He Zhizhou in the middle, unexpectedly he and his mother got along like this.

On the way back, Zhong Jingyue was no longer with them. Shen Xi lowered her head and sent text messages with Shen Jianguo, she now needs to find someone to sort out her emotions. After Shen Jianguo listened to her whole story, there was only one sentence: "You should discuss it with He Zhizhou first."

The screen of the mobile phone in the carriage was on and off, He Zhizhou turned his head to look at Shen Xi, and stretched out his hand to hold her in his arms.

Shen Xi grabbed He Zhizhou's shirt and hugged him quietly.

Zhong Jingyue talked to her a lot today, and she heard all the truths that she had never heard in her life. Zhong Jingyue said that young people should not determine the direction of life too early, but should take advantage of their youth to improve their strength and have the ability to control their destiny.

Zhong Jingyue also gave an example of her marriage. She married He Zhizhou's father when she was 20 years old. Married too early, both of them got married inexplicably before they had the consciousness and determination to start a family; the foundation of marriage was not laid well, which led to their separation after she gave birth to He Zhizhou...

It's just that if He Zhizhou goes to America, she and him will be separated for two years...

What's more, how can He Zhizhou become outstanding? Now that he is the flower of Gaoling, what does it look like to be outstanding? ! What should I do if I don't like her little cabbage when I come back

Huh... Why did she have so many disasters when she fell in love!
