In the blink of an eye, it was June, and the imperial city was warm enough to wear a skirt.
On the road where Xiang Yu was going to work, the green belts on both sides of the road were full of roses.
Jin Fubai has been abroad for 4 months. To her, he only said that her grandmother was not in good health, but Xiang Yu, in his tone, sensitively realized that he had other reasons for not going away.
It's just that he didn't say it, and she didn't ask much.
After the New Year, Xiang Yu also worked with her small broken company for a while, and she had to work overtime in the company for a few weekends.
The boss of the company is Zhou Lie. Although he is a young man of 25 or 26 years old and looks like Zhou Zheng, the employees still call him "Zhou Papi" in private.
Regardless of looks, this is the eternal conflict between employees and their bosses.
Xiang Yu and Zhou Lie walked a little closer, and they didn't call him "Zhou Papi" when working overtime.
Although she aspires to be a salted fish, but when she really works overtime or has a lot of work pressured, she can be considered hard-working and does not have so many negative emotions.
The advantage of this is that there is always a mini telescope hanging next to the badge on her chest.
When you go to Zhou Lie's office, you can take it out, walk away in front of the boss, and look at the opposite side.
In mid-June, there were a few days in the opposite office building where a blooming poppy popped in a vase on the table, which was so beautiful and pleasing.
Xiang Yu held up the bronze binoculars for a few glances, with a smile on his face inadvertently, but heard Zhou Lie say, "Assistant Xiang, can I put a table for you in the office?"
She put down the telescope and ignored his calculations: "NO, although I have two jobs, my goal has always been to be a full-time receptionist. You should hurry up and hire a suitable new assistant."
Zhou Lie didn't say much, just nodded and said he understood.
After he carefully looked at a section of the document and raised his eyes again, Xiang Yu still didn't leave.
She stood by the window thoughtfully, in a daze.
Zhou Lie knocked on the table and asked, "Is there anything else?"
Xiang Yu pinched the binoculars and looked back, and said tentatively, "Boss, you said that I have been so diligent and conscientious as ever since years ago. Can I apply for an early annual leave?"
She has not been employed for a year, and according to the company's system, she cannot take annual leave.
But Zhou Lie saw Jin Fubai's car more than once, and once, he found a telescope and looked at the opposite office building.
The entire 7th floor on the opposite side is empty, only a flower is placed on a desk.
This can also explain why after the New Year, when the company manages big people, it suddenly goes smoothly to an unimaginable level.
So he knew that because there was Xiang Yu in his company, some "upper" interpersonal relationships gave him a lot of convenience.
Zhou Lie thought for a while, then nodded in response: "Come on, when you want to take a break, write an application and send it to me directly."
In fact, Xiang Yu wanted to take a vacation because Jin Fubai.
Jin Fubai called at noon, and he was silent on the phone for nearly a minute without saying anything.
The weather in Imperial City is sunny and sunny. When Jin Fubai came on the phone, Xiang Yu was having lunch.
The pasta in the convenience store is heated in a microwave oven, and a piece of cheese is melted into the tomato beef sauce, and the taste is acceptable.
Facing the noon sun, with headphones in her ears, she heard Jin Fubai's silence, and silently put down the plastic fork in her hand.
For a moment, she thought she was in a foreign country more than 10,000 kilometers away, in the same silent late night as Jin Fubai.
Xiang Yu was also silent for a long time before he let go of his voice and called him nervously: "Jin Fubai?"
The person on the phone seemed to have just recovered, and after a while, he said, "What are you doing?"
"Have lunch, the pasta in the convenience store tastes pretty good. When you come back, shall I invite you?"
At this time, Jin Fubai's emotions had returned to normal, and he laughed and teased her, saying that he was going to come back to China after a long journey, so she was going to invite her to eat pasta from a convenience store
He also asked her if she was late again this month and was detained for full attendance.
Xiang Yu told him not to have a crow's mouth, saying that he had kept his full attendance for two months.
After a while, she said softly again: "The salary for the past few months has been saved. You can eat whatever you want when you come back."
Jin Fubai chuckled and asked, "You miss me?"
"Um."
Hanging up the phone, Xiang Yu felt a little uneasy, and didn't even eat a few bites of pasta.
She always felt that there was a powerless loneliness in Jin Fubai's silence for nearly a minute.
So an idea came to her, she was going to find him.
It was June 20 when the annual leave was approved. Xiang Yu took nothing with him and went to the airport alone.
Received a call from Tang Yuchi on the way, the young master asked in surprise, "Are you really going to find Jin Fubai?"
"Well, by the way, for a few days, Zhou Lie gave me ten days of vacation."
Tang Yuchi couldn't say anything on the phone, she just told her to pay attention to safety, remember to report safety when going abroad, remember to charge her mobile phone and don't turn it off at any time.
Mother-in-law, as if she was going to the desert island of Robinson Rafting.
Xiang Yu said yes, and hung up the phone.
In fact, she also hesitated to find Jin Fubai.
Abroad is another "circle" of Jin Fubai. She is not sure whether she should disturb the current peace.
I'm not sure if I go abroad and see whether Jin Fubai is the "same" person as Jin Fubai in the imperial capital.
But people are not like this, and they always long for a little romance in a quiet life.
Even when Du Mu wrote "Red Cliff", he had to write the sentence "Bronze Sparrow Spring Locks Erqiao". She is an ordinary person, with a little irrational love in her mind, is it normal
Go, go and accompany him, if he needs it.
From February to April, Jin Fubai has been working in the family business, seeing the management's shareholders every day and listening to them arguing with each other. Conservatives and radicals face off, as do members of the conservatives themselves. People with bad personal relationships confront each other, and people with close personal relationships also confront each other.
Noisy, it's a headache.
It was late at night that day, and because of different opinions, a major shareholder threw his teacup and walked away.
Grandmother's health is not good these days. She coughs at night, and the cough is bloodshot. Today, she finally fell asleep early. Jin Fubai didn't dare to disturb her.
In fact, Jin Fubai couldn't bring it up to Xiang Yu at the same time.
He was only very late at night and missed her very much.
After dialing the phone, he smoked in silence, and Xiang Yu didn't speak. After being silent for an unknown amount of time, Xiang Yu's cautious breathing came from the phone, and finally she tentatively called him, Jin Fubai
The voice was so soft, like catching the moon in a pond, and afraid of breaking a pond of moonlight.
Jin Fubai's irritability slowly calmed down in this voice.
After chatting a few words, hanging up the phone and turning around, the grandmother stood silently behind him.
Her face was old and wrinkled, and today she was in poor health and pale.
So what if you are worth over a billion? The same can't resist the years urging people to grow old.
Jin Fubai's grandmother is the only person in the whole family who is close to Jin Fubai. The grandfather's family and the grandfather's family are family friends and the best business partner. These are the achievements of the grandmother.
She was a powerful woman when she was young. Her grandfather died young, and Jin Fubai's mother's entire family was expanded by her grandmother to what it is now.
But she is also a kind old man at the same time.
She was the only elder who urged him to marry because of a girl who looked good to him, not because of family interests.
Yes, the only one.
The wind was heavy at night, and my grandmother was weak when she coughed. She took Jin Fubai's hand and told him in Cantonese, "Fubai, don't get too angry. After all, we are all ants in the same boat."
Perhaps she is respected not just because of her skills, but because she is always comfortable talking.
Sitting in the position of the leader of the entire group, he said that he was an ant.
Jin Fubai pulled away his sharpness, nodded and said yes.
Because of his grandmother's persuasion, Jin Fubai did not show any hostility in the next two days, and even paid a lot of money to entertain a few shareholders to explore ways to win the support of some activist shareholders.
It's just that the luncheon that day was not pleasant.
A respected old man mentioned at the dinner table: "The lady of the Chu family is fond of Bai Bai, perhaps marriage is the best way to get the support of the families."
Jin Fubai was humbly nodding and listening to the elders' speech at the time, when he suddenly heard such a proposal.
He slowly raised his eyes and sneered coldly: "I'm a duck? The Jin family's 100 billion assets originally needed me to sell my body to maintain it?"
His words were ugly, and a table of people was embarrassed at the table.
Someone jumped out to make peace with the old man, and in the end even the old man changed his words to other topics, but Jin Fubai was always in high spirits and didn't respond with a calm face.
Also at this time, Jin Fubai's cell phone rang.
It is a message sent to Taro:
[Jin Fubai, I am at the Los Angeles Airport.]
Jin Fubai stared at the message for nearly half a minute, and then looked up a little bit.
He took the phone and got up: "I'm sorry everyone, I need to go and pick up a call."
Jin Fubai was standing in a quiet corridor talking to Xiangyu. She raised her voice in a noisy environment full of foreign languages and said happily, "I want to stay in Los Angeles for a few days, if it is convenient for you, can you give it to me? A hotel address that is closer to you."
She said, I can wait for you at the hotel if you have time to see me.
He was busy at that time, and she came at a bad time.
But her words were so clear that it made people feel unreasonable.
At that time, WeChat was far less developed than later, and its functions were not so comprehensive. It was just beginning to be able to add a location address when sending photos in the circle of friends, and there was no location information to send in the dialog box.
So Jin Fubai glanced at the closed door behind him and said, "I'll let someone pick you up."
Xiang Yu refused his request, saying that annual leave was precious, and waiting for him to pick him up wasted time at the airport, so he might as well call a taxi by himself.
Jin Fubai really couldn't walk away, gave her the name of the hotel, and said warmly, "You are waiting for me at the hotel."
When he returned to the dinner table, his impetuousness completely dissipated, and he took the initiative to offer a drink to the elders at the table to apologize, saying that he was too young, please bear with him.
The old man who proposed marriage smiled and accepted his apology, and in the end it was a good conversation.
After coming out of the hotel, Jin Fubai escorted several elders into the car, and then watched the elders leave.
When I was about to take the car keys handed by the waiter at the door, I suddenly heard someone discussing a major accident in a foreign language.
Seven vehicles collided on Airport Road, killing five people on the spot.
Among them was a woman who was Chinese.
Jin Fubai looked back suddenly, the car key in his hand fell on the marble steps.
It was raining lightly in Luocheng that day, and the weather was gloomy.
Xiang Yu wrapped Jin Fu's white black shirt and a white skirt, and sat in the car waiting for the road to be unblocked.
The cars in the rain curtain were blocked to the end, and the cars behind for unknown reasons kept honking their horns.
In front of Xiang Yu is the guard line, the ambulances are coming and going, the traffic police are still maintaining the scene, and the foreign police in dark blue uniforms are also among them, I don't know what to say.
The master who pulled his driver burst out in a series of foreign languages. Xiang Yu's foreign language proficiency was limited, and he could vaguely guess that the driver might be saying that he was unlucky, and he didn't know when the traffic jam would last.
Her mobile phone was playing with snakes at the airport until it ran out of power and turned off. She could only wait for the police to solve it before releasing her.
The sky was getting dark, the rain continued, and there was no greed for snakes, so Xiang Yu closed his eyes bored and rested.
After about an hour, she vaguely heard someone calling her name.
The man spoke Chinese.
Is it Jin Fubai
Xiang Yu pushed open the car door in the rain, leaned on tiptoe while supporting the car door, and saw Jin Fubai's figure in the crowd.
How to describe the scene, everyone turned into a background without sound, only he shuttled in the rain, followed by two policemen who wanted to stop but did not dare to go forward.
He took the loudspeaker from the policeman behind him. There was panic in those eyes that were always full of affection, and his brows were furrowed. He frequently called her name: "Xiang Yu! Xiang Yu!"
If it is said that love can be conveyed by voice.
It must be Jin Fubai who is full of anxious calls at the moment.
