When he arrived in Sucheng, Jian Hang was busy until midnight every day, with endless meetings and endless problems, and she had to communicate and coordinate. Back at the hotel, I fell asleep as soon as I touched the pillow, so I had no time to think about anything else.
On the fifth day in Sucheng, I received a call from Tan Fen.
Tan Yan asked with a smile, "Tonight or tomorrow night, are you free? Let's have a meal together." The last time I wanted to treat someone, but she was hospitalized, and the meal has been delayed until now.
They met at Teacher Jian's house that day, and Qin Moling was beside him, so he couldn't talk to Jian Hang alone.
Standing in front of the hotel window, Jian Hang has a wide field of vision, including the night view of Sioux City.
She apologized: "I'm in Sioux City, I'll treat you when I get back."
"Wanyue's acquisition project, has it been taken down?"
"Ok."
"Congratulations."
"Thank you, so I'll treat you to dinner when I get back."
Tan Yan smiled and said, "It doesn't matter whoever invites you. I happen to be going to Shanghai this week, and I will stop by Sucheng to see you. I know something about the company that Wanyue is going to buy, and I have got them all entangled. Let me tell you about some relationships in detail."
He heard that Jian Hang had a tortuous process to win this project, and was even made things difficult by Zhong Yanfei.
If it wasn't for him, Jian Hang wouldn't have suffered from this.
At the beginning, Zhong Yanyue suspected that he broke up because of Jian Hang. Even if he explained it, Zhong Yanyue didn't believe it at all because she was sad and irrational at that time.
He can't help Jianhang with other things, all he can do is to inquire about the inside information of the acquired company.
On Saturday, Tan Fen arrived in Sioux City.
He booked the restaurant in advance, and the restaurant is near the hotel where Jian Hang stayed, and it took five minutes to walk there.
Jian Hang didn't get a good rest last night, even with makeup on, it couldn't conceal the tiredness in his eyes.
Tan Yan saw that she was not in good spirits, and asked concerned: "Is there something uncomfortable?"
"Stomach hurts in the middle of the night." When it was almost dawn, I only slept for two hours. I didn't dare to eat in the morning, and I was busy all morning, so I couldn't help feeling tired.
Jian Hang picked up the water glass and took a few sips of warm water.
She pointed to the red wine next to her, "I can't drink with you today."
"Your body is important, and I'm not an outsider." Tan Yan brought her glass of red wine to her, "Any social engagements last night?"
"Well, everyone from the client's organization bureau and the project team will go, and I can't push it away."
"Didn't someone stop you from drinking?"
"Lin Xiao helped to block it." Jian Hang put down the water glass, "I just drank two taels of white wine, and my stomach hurt until midnight. I also took medicine when I went back to the hotel."
Taking medicine didn't help much. She was not familiar with Sioux City, so she really didn't want to get up and go to the hospital. She didn't feel better until it was almost dawn.
Her stomach hurts after just two taels of baijiu, it's unbelievable that she used to drink a catty of baijiu without any problems.
He heated water in her cup, "You hurt your stomach."
Jian Hang nodded, she knew that something was wrong with her stomach.
But there are some entertainments that can't be pushed away, so how can it be possible not to drink at all.
Tan Yan was quiet for a while, and asked her, "Have you thought about changing careers?"
Jian Hang paused for a moment, Tan Fen asked this question suddenly, she didn't think about how to answer it.
Tan Yan spoke out for her: "I thought about it when my stomach hurts so much that I can't bear it, and I forget it when it doesn't hurt, right?"
Jian Hang smiled, "Don't expose it."
As Tan Fen said, when she was sweating in pain, she thought about quitting her job, thinking about changing to a relatively easy job, without having to work overtime day and night, without flying around all the time, and without having to socialize with so many people.
When someone invites her, she can still refuse to avoid drinking, but when she needs to entertain others or ask for help, the meal cannot be avoided, and the wine cannot be avoided.
Tan Yan has no position to persuade her to change careers or resign.
"Take care of yourself and don't worry Teacher Jian." He urged.
"Well." Jian Hang turned to ask: "What about you? What are your plans after resigning?"
Tan Yan touched the edge of the table lightly with his elbows, and clasped his hands, "I haven't thought about it too much for now, let's rest for two months before talking about it. When I have enough rest, I will choose slowly."
Jian Hang is not worried about his future development, there are many venture capital institutions that want to poach him.
When the food was served, the two chatted while eating, all related to this acquisition.
After talking about the business, Jian Hang asked him what he had planned during the few months of rest, "Not going on vacation?"
"I have this plan. I haven't figured out where to go yet." My cousin recently fell out of love and wanted to go on a trip to relax. My aunt was worried that my daughter would go out alone. It happened to be fine, and he himself hadn't gone out for several years. He planned to go out with his cousin. .
After dinner, Jian Hang sent Tan Min to the high-speed railway station and sent people away. She rushed back to the acquired company and continued her work.
She didn't return to the hotel until half past ten in the evening.
Stomach was still slightly uncomfortable, Jian Hang found the medicine, took a few pills and ate it.
Leaning on the sofa, Jian Hang summed up today's work to see if there were any omissions, and fell asleep unconsciously.
When I woke up again, it was already two o'clock in the morning.
Jian Hang checked on his mobile phone, except for work news, there was no other news.
She put the phone aside, took her pajamas and went to take a shower.
--
In the second week of Jian Hang's business trip, the villa was even deserted, and the breakfast on the table was not as rich as before.
Qin Moling wanted to ask Aunt Geng when Jian Hang would return from a business trip, but he swallowed the words again.
This Wednesday, after get off work, he went directly to Jiang Shenghe's place.
Seeing the uninvited guest, Jiang Shenghe frowned, "Why are you here?"
When Qin Moling came to Jiang Shenghe's house, it was almost like returning to his own home. The car drove directly to the yard, and Jiang Shenghe didn't know about the door opened by his aunt.
Jiang Shenghe looked at his watch to make sure that he remembered correctly, it was Wednesday. Qin Moling said in the group that if you need to find him in the future, try to avoid Wednesday nights.
"I have something to do with you." Qin Moling took out a piece of paper from his bag, spread it out in front of Jiang Shenghe, "help me get some tea."
He listed all the tea varieties on the paper.
Jiang Shenghe glanced at it, and the request was not low, "Give it away?"
Qin Moling took off his suit, casually put it on the sofa, "Give it to my father-in-law."
Jiang Shenghe took a picture of the piece of paper and saved it in his mobile phone, "Mr. Jian drinks tea so mixed?" There are black tea and green tea, and there are four or five kinds.
Qin Moling said "Yes", in fact, there is only one kind of tea leaves for Teacher Jian, and the other kinds are used to cook tea eggs for someone.
He poured the coffee himself.
In Jiang Shenghe's study, he drank a cup of coffee and continued drinking it.
Jiang Shenghe didn't expect him to drink endlessly, so he issued an order to drive away the guests, "Are you still going?"
Qin Moling sat back with his coffee, "It doesn't bother you if I sit here."
Jiang Shenghe: "..."
He is busy tonight, so I don't have time to talk to him.
Qin Moling stayed here and refused to leave, Jiang Sheng only thought of one possibility, "You are here with me, are you hiding from Jianhang?"
Qin Moling took a sip of his coffee, "Why should I hide from her?"
"She's on a business trip in Sucheng." As he said that, his gaze paused, and he fixed on the second floor of Jiang Shenghe's bookshelf.
Qin Moling put down his coffee cup, got up and went over, the gift box on the bookshelf contained figures, he had seen similar ones in the Jianhang car, but the one in front of him was much bigger than the figure in the Jianhang car, and the clothes and shapes were different .
"Why do you buy this too?"
Jiang Shenghe took a look, "A birthday present for Qin Xing."
It was still early for Qin Xing's birthday, so when he came across a suitable gift, he prepared it in advance.
In their circle, Qin Xing is the youngest and loves to play, only Qin Xing celebrates his birthday, they will think of giving a gift, other people's birthday, if they can come to join in, it is a gift for him.
Qin Moling asked, "Is this expensive?"
"It's not expensive. This is a joint limited-edition figure in the game, which is generally not available."
When Qin Moling heard that it was a character in the game, he immediately understood why there were similar figures in Jian Hang's car.
He picked up the packing box, "You prepare another gift for Qin Xing."
Jiang Shenghe watched Qin Moling take away the figurine, "Put it down. Do you think it's easy to prepare a gift?" He leaned back in his chair, looked at Qin Moling, "Who do you want to give?"
Qin Moling reassured him, "It's not for Qin Xing."
As for who to give it to, Jiang Shenghe asked several times, but still didn't ask.
Before returning, Qin Moling said, "I'll prepare Qin Xing's birthday gift for you, and let Secretary Gao deliver it to your office."
Back at the villa, Qin Moling took the gift box and went straight up to the second floor.
In Jian Hang's master bedroom, the lights were off and the door was open. During her business trip, the door was opened every day for ventilation.
Qin Moling walked to the door of the master bedroom, turned on the light, and put the office box on the bedside table.
Jian Hang was a little unhappy when he missed the appointment that day.
the next afternoon.
Jiang Shenghe asked someone to bring him tea, a total of ten cans, each with a size of 50 grams, eight of which were for Jian Hang to cook tea eggs, and the other two were for Teacher Jian.
The two cans for Mr. Jian were bought by Jiang Shenghe through a relationship. The annual production of this tea is limited, only a few kilograms in total. It is scarce and in short supply, and they are all sold at auction.
Jiang Shenghe bought some, and kept them as gift to the Jiang family and several elders of his family, and gave two cans to Qin Moling to honor his father-in-law.
Qin Moling got off work normally at night, and took tea to Jian Hang's house.
Before going, he called Chen Yu and said he would go and see them.
Today is not a holiday, and my daughter hasn't come back from a business trip. Chen Yu was quite surprised that Qin Moling would come to the house alone, and said enthusiastically, "I'll cook a few more dishes for dinner at home that night."
Qin Moling didn't refuse, "Mom, you don't need to do too much."
From primary school head teacher to mother-in-law, he has adapted to this role change for a long time, until now it is still a bit unnatural to call Chen Yu's mother.
When I arrived at Jian Hang's community, I met Jian Zhongjun who had just returned from school.
Jian Zhongjun and his colleague Lao Gu walked back from school together, and now Lao Gu also joined the ranks of walking to get off work, making an appointment with Jian Zhongjun to commute to and from work every day, chatting while walking, and exercising.
"Dad." Qin Moling got out of the car and greeted Jian Zhongjun.
"Go, go home." Jian Zhongjun said with a smile, he heard from his wife that his son-in-law would come over for dinner in the evening, and he walked vigorously along the way, with wind blowing under his feet.
Qin Moling has a good memory. Although he only met Teacher Gu once, he still remembered the other person's last name, so he took the initiative to say hello, "Mr. Gu, hello."
There are not many people who can make him take the initiative to speak.
This son is for Jian Zhongjun.
After exchanging greetings, several people entered the building.
Lao Gu didn't see Jian Hang, so he asked, "Xiao Hang is working overtime again?"
Qin Moling said: "She's not at home, she's on a business trip."
"Oh, I said why didn't I see her."
Lao Gu felt more and more that Qin Moling was good. Jian Hang was not at home, so he came alone to visit his father-in-law and eat with them. Not everyone has such filial piety.
When Qin Moling and Jian Zhongjun arrived home, Chen Yu was busy in the kitchen.
He handed the tea leaves and some mathematics formula books to Jian Zhongjun. The tea leaves were for Jian Zhongjun, and these books were for Chen Yu. Last time he heard from Jian Hang that Chen Yu often studied Mathematical Olympiad questions at home after retirement, and he kept that in mind.
There were quite a few books on this side at home, so he picked out a few and brought them with him.
Qin Moling entered the kitchen and greeted Chen Yu.
"mom."
Chen Yu turned her head, the door opened just now, she thought Jian Zhongjun was the only one.
"Here we come." She waved her hand, "Get out quickly, the oily smoke is heavy."
"It's okay." Qin Moling rolled up his sleeves and looked around for an apron.
There were two hanging on the wall behind the door, and he took a dark one down.
"I'll cook for you."
Chen Yu couldn't believe it, "You know how to fire?"
"Yes." While speaking, Qin Moling fastened his apron.
Even if he knew it, Chen Yu couldn't let him cook, "Go outside and drink tea with your father, you are not needed here."
Qin Moling joked: "I used to make trouble in your classroom, but now I make up for it."
Chen Yu also laughed, some of the events from more than 20 years ago are forgotten, and some of them are particularly impressive, and the events of Qin Moling belong to the series that is particularly impressive.
When talking about the things when I was a student, the sense of distance disappeared in an instant.
If he wanted to cook, Chen Yu would follow him.
Recently, she often met with Shen Jingyun to discuss the wedding photos of the two children and where to hold their wedding, so she knew that Qin Moling was very busy.
"Le Meng has a lot of things to do. You are busy with your work. If you don't have time, you don't need to come here. Just make a phone call."
She understands how difficult it is for them young people.
Qin Moling said, "I'm not busy today."
He took the pot and put it on another burner.
Jian Zhongjun also opened the door and went into the kitchen. He had nothing to do in the living room by himself, so he came to join in the fun.
The kitchen is not big, and it is not so spacious for three people to stand. He tried to stand by the door as much as possible so as not to hinder them.
He had seen the tea leaves just now, and recognized that they were the rarest and most precious of the tea leaves, "Mo Ling, you take the tea back home and give it away to others, you can't even buy it."
It's a pity to keep it for myself.
Qin Moling turned his head, "Dad, that tea is for my family to drink. It's not much, you can try it."
After finishing speaking, he turned back and asked Chen Yu, "Mom, do you still remember Jiang Shenghe? Jiang Shenghe helped buy the tea I gave Dad."
Chen Yu said with a smile, "Don't you remember, I have been teaching for so many years, and I have never met a student who is as troublesome as the two of you."
Qin Moling: "..."
Speaking of the past, Chen Yu opened up the conversation: "You and Jiang Shenghe are the most disobedient in the class, and you have to watch the teacher's eyes in class. There are two desks next to the podium, each of you has one desk, that's it, teacher When you turned around and wrote on the blackboard, you also threw chalk stubs at each other."
Qin Moling: "..."
Sitting next to the podium is something that happened in the second grade of elementary school.
He didn't want to mention the embarrassing things in elementary school, so he quickly changed the topic, "When Teacher's Day this year, I will bring Jiang Shenghe to my house to repent."
Chen Yu laughed, "The relationship between you two is still as good as before."
"Well, it's always been that way."
It is steaming hot, and the aroma of vegetables comes out of the pan.
While they were stir frying, they chatted about school affairs.
Jian Zhongjun stood aside, said a few words occasionally, and helped pass the empty plates.
The kitchen hadn't been this lively in a long time.
If before, Jian Zhongjun was worried that his daughter and Qin Moling would have a bad life, but tonight, all worries were dispelled.
During the meal, Chen Yu sent a message to his daughter: [Have you returned to the hotel?]
Jian Hang: [I had a meeting all day and just came back.]
Chen Yu said: [We haven't eaten yet, we cooked a table of dishes, Qin Moling was there, and he also cooked a few dishes.]
Jian Hang read her mother's message again, and before she had time to be surprised, her mother's video invitation came in, and she connected right away without hesitation.
Chen Yu first pointed the camera at the dishes on the table, and said with a smile, "You can just eat it."
It was strange that Jian Hang could guess which dishes were fried by Qin Moling.
Mother turned the camera around the table, and Qin Moling's face flickered past the camera. Before she could see it clearly, she flashed past, only to see him wearing a white shirt.
Mother didn't know that she didn't have much contact with Qin Moling, so she didn't point the camera at Qin Moling, but just told her that Qin Moling was at home.
"You are busy, we have dinner." The mother cut off the video.
Jian Hang put down the phone, she knew that Qin Moling was busier than her, and Le Meng was the busiest in spring and summer, and he even took time to go back to her house.
Stomach still hurts.
Find out the medicine, Jian Hang takes it.
Open a document, which is Yin Lin's resignation letter template.
My mind is full of what Tan Chen asked her that day, have you ever thought about changing careers
After thinking for a long time, she still didn't think about it, so she forked out the resignation letter template again.
Open mail processing job.
At a quarter past ten, Jian Hang reckoned that Qin Moling should leave her house, maybe he had already arrived at the villa.
He went to her house and created a topic of conversation for the two of them.
She took the initiative to send a message, [Thank you for visiting my parents.]
Qin Moling: [There is no need to say thank you in the future. You are on a business trip, I should visit them.]
After two seconds of silence, he asked: [Still working overtime? Do you have a stomach ache during a social gathering recently?]
