Ye Ji'an was always in a mess when preparing to go out. Although he was not very comfortable in normal times, he was always miserable before a business trip. In order to improve the efficiency of the use of time and funds, the team has to make a general arrangement for the work after the departure. It has to prepare and report the planning documents and agreements to be used on time. Competitors have to keep an eye on them. Ye Ji'an must also be busy finishing his work, lest something go wrong during the critical period before the Spring Festival and he is still not around.
This also led to the change of overtime in the middle of the night from irregular special offerings to daily ones, which also led to Ye Ji'an feeling like he was living like he was smoking the sweet and bitter Qixing blueberries in the nooks and crannies of the smoking room. dog.
Liang Xiao would sometimes be next to him, igniting the tail of his cigarette. Chatting is of course interesting, even just chatting about the smog outside the window or having no time to watch a live football game makes people feel like they are still alive. However, they were so busy that neither of them had the time to figure out where to spend their lunch, which was usually a box lunch sandwich. Fifteen minutes, a quick decision was made, and then they resigned and sat back in front of the computer.
When Ye Ji'an looked at Liang Xiao, he often felt that this person was full of energy. He missed the last subway train just like himself many nights, so he simply didn't go home. He just lay on the table and squinted until dawn. But one day he looked at himself again, except for the dark circles under his eyes that he couldn't hide, he was also cool and refreshing, and if the big boss called to talk now, he would not panic.
Well, Ye Ji'an now understands that the common skills of modern people are beautiful on the surface, and their hearts collapse.
However, the good young man who despised suicide probably didn't have the same dog leash fantasy as himself. What is the dog with, the funds have not been screened, the year-end bonus has not been received, and I can't die, he thought again.
Less than two weeks later, all the documents were approved and enough investor meetings had been held. The crazy days of overdoing coffee every day finally came to an end. Ye Jian boarded the flight to Moscow. The seats were empty and quiet. He felt that he had to. An An slept soundly all the way.
According to the company's regulations, Xiao Li of the General Department booked him a first-class cabin, and the other five were in the business seats at the back and did not board the plane in the same aisle. All three are female colleagues, and the only two men are the deputy director of legal affairs, Chen, and Liang Xiao. That old Chen has a lot of qualifications, but he is still a patient of the third high. Usually he can't hurt his muscles or bones, so only Liang Xiao can do the physical work. Fortunately, Ye Ji'an squeezed in to help when he was putting his luggage, so as to avoid this serious shortage. Jue's delicate son-in-law was surrounded by four or five boxes, stuffing them up one by one, looking so miserable.
Xiao Li of the General Department was shocked: "Director Ye, go back and sit down, you will take off immediately!"
Ye Ji'an smiled, "It's early, it's more than minus ten degrees in Moscow, have you brought enough clothes?"
"Bring it! I have a box and I put a down jacket in it. It's super thick." The little translator who just graduated raised his hand, very excited. Obviously, Ye Ji'an's kind eldest brother is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
"I just forgot to check it in, and I want you to help me... Thank you." She turned her head slightly and looked at her side carefully.
Beside her is Liang Xiao. She was the same age and joined the company at the same time, but she seemed much calmer. "I'm too lazy to wear a thick tie." He looked at Ye Ji'an's diagonal striped tie, "I'm going to buy it at Baikov Airport."
And then come back? You don't have a suitcase either. I'm afraid you don't want to just throw it in the hotel. If your clothes can predict your own destiny, you will definitely shed tears in Moscow. Ye Ji'an suddenly felt that he knew Liang Xiao too well, "Okay, let's have a good rest." He put in his trousers pocket and returned to his cabin leisurely.
As planned, Ye Ji'an completed a carefree high-quality sleep in the sky. When he woke up, he felt that the world was a beautiful place. This beauty continued until landing. The sky was clear and sunny, but the city was The snow is white, and the snow is so blue that it buries everything that is noisy or dead in the city, the good and the bad, the new buildings and the old squares, all buried in a large sea of purity.
Ye Jian likes to watch snow, and Slavic snow, like Slavic people and novels, is refreshing to him. After settling in the hotel, a group of six people wrapped their jackets and went out to the banquet. The snow fell again and hit the ground. The car windows didn't melt, they just piled up there, creating a neat grainy feeling. Under the street lights, each piece seemed to have a different texture. It was so beautiful that Ye Ji'an couldn't help but take out his phone to take a picture. Everything is new for tourists.
The other company sent a Toyota Alphard, which drove very fast on the spacious streets between the ancient castles. Liang Xiao sat in the co-pilot, turned around and looked at him silently. The down jacket bought at the airport was pure black. Yes, the design is also simple, similar to a down sack purely used to keep warm. Liang Xiao has a simplicity he has never seen before.
"The jet lag is reversed?" Ye Ji'an couldn't say anything else in front of many colleagues.
"Listen to the seniors, I have been sleeping on the plane." Liang Xiao frowned.
"Haha, me too," Ye Ji'an quietly sent him a few snowflakes he took before putting away the phone, "I have to start work tomorrow." That's what he said.
Liang Xiao nodded, but didn't say a word. Within two minutes, his message was replied with a few lines of Russian:
И сердце бьется в упоенье,
И для него воскресли вновь
И божество, и вдохновенье,
И жизнь, и слезы, и любовь.
Ye Ji'an doesn't know what he is doing, and he has a second foreign language? It's not written on the resume.
[What's the meaning? ] he replied.
[A poem by Pushkin.] Liang Xiao's explanation is very concise.
[Senior looked at the snow and reminded me of these words.] Another chase.
[OK I went to Google.]
[! I didn't expect] Liang Xiao turned his head and stared at him, as if he was in a hurry.
[I didn't expect anything?] Ye Ji'an met his gaze happily.
Liang Xiao quickly lowered his head and typed, "I want to translate for the senior myself, I can read it aloud with emotion, and wait for the work to end smoothly, okay?]
Ye Ji'an said that what kind of magical code was this mysterious code that had to be in ambush for so long, but he decided to take care of the strange and sensitive mind of the young man. After all, twenty-seven years old was still the age of reading poetry for him.
[Then I'll just wait and work hard these two days. ] sent it out, to prove his innocence, he put away his mobile phone under Liang Xiao's watch, and didn't touch Google at all.
The estimated time for the business trip is 12 days. On the sixth day, on the whole, everything went right. Whether it was a work visit or a private communication, everything went smoothly with the other company, which made Ye Ji'an see it. The hope of returning home on time for the Chinese New Year holiday, however, there are still things that trouble him, mainly two points:
First, a bad diet.
Second, the sleepless Liang Xiao.
It doesn't mean that Liang Xiao has any urge to get up, nor does it mean that he is drowsy and inefficient all day long. On the contrary, he is still in the same style as before. He is devoted and meticulous in everything he does. The Russian is so fluent that people can't understand it. But Ye Ji'an could see that this person was not as calm as he used to be. The increasingly blue-eyed bags and the increasingly taciturn state indicated that Liang Xiao was suffering from a serious lack of sleep.
"Can't sleep well at night?" Ye Ji'an also asked.
"Ah? It's okay," Liang Xiao just smiled, "Sometimes I can't get up if senior doesn't call me."
Why am I so unbelievable? You are a person who knows how to put honey in your mouth all day long, just wait. Ye Jixin thought.
On the seventh night, Ye Ji'an put the surprise attack into practice. He thought that when he met someone, he could still tell if he was asleep a minute ago. Sudden death due to lack of sleep at the same time. Both are single suites. Liang Xiao's 402 and his 404 are separated by a legal old Chen. At 2:30 in the middle of the night, he set the alarm clock and knocked on the door of 402 under the snoring of the old Chen next door.
When it rang, Ye Ji'an also felt nervous.
"Who?" Liang Xiao's voice came quickly, very light, not far away, and asked again in English, followed by Russian.
"I," Ye Ji'an folded his arms, "hurry up and open the door for your brother." He said rudely.
There were hurried footsteps in the door, the door lock clicked open, the headlights were on in the room, and the gray trousers and white T-shirt on Liang Xiao's body looked quite soft, obviously suitable for sleeping. He stuck his head out and looked down at Ye Ji'an.
"Did you not sleep?" Ye Ji'an raised her eyelids.
"Is the senior insomnia?" Liang Xiao looked innocent.
Ye Ji'an was very angry, thinking that your kid is quite good at anti-guests, "Hey, did I ask you about insomnia? How many hours have you slept these days?"
Liang Xiao was stunned, but he honestly closed his mouth. Although he didn't admit it, he didn't intend to defend himself.
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with the room?" Ye Ji'an felt like an enthusiastic head teacher who cared about the health of teenagers.
"My question." Liang Xiao whispered, rubbed his face, took a step back, and squeezed the doorknob tightly, "Senior, I need to be alone, so leave me alone."
Ye Ji'an quickly pinned his elbow on the edge of the door before he closed the door. Liang Xiao saw that he seemed to be in pain, so he gave up his resistance immediately and tried to hold his arm, "I really want to call you a little ancestor," Ye Ji'an glared at him and tugged at the hem of his vest, "I'm freezing to death, let me in quickly."
