Chen Xu officially said about his resignation, and his job was almost completed. I don't plan to stay and work overtime. Anyway, when the process starts tomorrow, those well-informed colleagues will know immediately.
He ran home, took a shower, and was about to drive Yang Jinxia's car back to her. Before leaving, he sent her a WeChat message.
Soon, she replied, "I'm outside, come here to pick me up." Later, she sent her address again.
He saw that it was not very far from her home, it was a coffee shop, so he replied, "OK."
Yang Jinxia's house is about 40 minutes away. This will be the evening rush hour, and the traffic lights along the way will delay a lot of time. It took nearly an hour to arrive at the cafe.
He parked the car and sent a text message, "I'm here, sorry, the road is a bit congested, are you still there?"
It was almost a second, "I'm here, come in."
He got out of the car, walked into the cafe, and with a glance, he saw Yang Jinxia who was seated by the window. Besides her, there was a man opposite her.
"Chen Xu."
Before he could speak, she had already left her seat and came over. Before he could react, she took his hand and said, "Let me introduce you. This is the director of the marketing department of my company, Zhang Chaolin. My boyfriend , Chen Xu."
Although Chen Xu was a little surprised by her actions, he finally experienced two dreams, and his mental quality was also tempered. He reacted immediately, glanced at her, and didn't expose her.
He looked at the man named Zhang Chaolin, in his thirties, with a neat suit and straight hair. He had to admit that he looked good.
At this time, Zhang Chaolin's face was a little astonished. Although he calmed down quickly, his expression was obviously a little unnatural, and he asked, "Why didn't I hear you before?"
"This is my personal matter, there is no need to tell others." Yang Jinxia's tone remained unchanged, "Okay, let's discuss these business matters when we arrive at the company tomorrow. I'll be leaving first." As he spoke, he picked up the bag with his other hand, Holding Chen Xu's hand, he left.
Zhang Chaolin's face changed, and he watched them walk out of the cafe with a bit of unwillingness on his face.
After leaving the door, Yang Jinxia said, "This person is very annoying. He always pesters me under the pretense of work. If it weren't for his higher position than me, I would have kicked him out a long time ago. Fortunately, you are here, otherwise I really don't know what to do." When did you get entangled with him?"
Chen Xu asked her, "Why didn't you make it clear to him earlier?"
Yang Jinxia said with a smile, "I'm just waiting for someone to come and save the beauty."
Chen Xu glanced at her, pulled his hand out, and said, "Okay, he shouldn't be able to see here." Then, he returned the car keys to her, and said, "I have something to do, I have to go back."
Yang Jinxia didn't answer, put his hands behind his back, and said, "Didn't I say last time, as long as we can meet again, I will give you a chance to invite me to dinner. You can invite me now."
Chen Xu looked at her bright and moving face and said, "I really have something to do."
Yang Jinxia glared at him and walked forward.
Chen Xu glanced at the car keys in his hand, could only follow, and said, "This..."
"never mind."
She walked a few steps, stopped again, turned her head to look at him, and said, "Then, I invite you, this is the boss."
After finishing speaking, she muttered in a low voice, "You really don't understand any sense of humor."
"I… "
"Don't refuse me." Yang Jinxia turned around and blocked his words, "Otherwise, I'll cry for you."
Knowing that she was joking, Chen Xu still couldn't laugh or cry.
At the same time, she also felt more clearly that she was very different from her in the dream. Yang Jinxia in the dream would never say such naive words.
At this time, if he refused, he couldn't say much.
In fact, he didn't have anything special, he just didn't want to get too close to her.
In the past, he was afraid of her and didn't dare to have too much contact with her in reality.
Now, the reasons are more complicated.
He asked, "Where are you going?"
In an instant, he saw a bright smile on her face, "Let's go eat hot pot."
...
After Chen Xu entered the hot pot restaurant, he was still thinking about her smile just now, and a thought flashed in his mind.
With me, is she really that happy
After Yang Jinxia ordered the dishes, she turned her head and saw him staring at her, and asked, "What are you doing looking at me? Is there a flower on my face?"
Chen Xu asked earnestly, "I was thinking, you are so beautiful, there must be many excellent men around you, why do you have to drag me to eat with you?"
"Chen Xu."
She stretched out her hand, put it on his hand, held it firmly, looked into his eyes, and said, "You can be more confident. In fact, you are no worse than anyone else."
Chen Xu was in a trance, with a strong sense of unreality.
Since he was a child, no one has ever said such a thing to him. His father is a somewhat rigid person, he doesn't talk much, and has always been strict with him. In his memory, he has never praised him.
His mother is a bit nagging and has high demands on him. She likes to talk about how hard the child is studying and how many points the child has scored in the test. It seems that he will never be as good as other children.
No one, like her, looked at him with such eyes and said such words to him.
There seemed to be a warm current in his chest, spreading to his whole body little by little, it was a numb feeling. His throat seemed to be choked by something.
After a while, he let out a long breath and said, "Thank you."
Yang Jinxia didn't speak, just looked at him, holding each other with one hand.
After a while, the waiter pushed the dining car over and served the food.
Only then did Yang Jinxia let go of his hand and asked, "Would you like some wine?"
"No, there is indeed something to do at night, just drink." Chen Xu has regained his composure.
"Then orange juice." She asked the waiter to bring over a bottle of drink, unscrewed it, and poured two glasses.
The hot pot in the middle was already boiling with a thud, and bursts of steam were bubbling upwards.
The two raised their glasses and touched each other.
Yang Jinxia said softly, "It's great to know you."
Listening to her gentle voice, Chen Xu felt a certain place in his heart gradually melt, and drank the orange juice in the glass in one gulp.
...
"Just get down here."
When the white Volvo was about to enter the intersection of the village in the city, Chen Xu asked Yang Jinxia to stop the car.
She looked curiously at the building outside and asked, "You live here?"
"Yes, a single room with a bathroom and a small balcony, twenty square meters." Chen Xu said, unfastening his seat belt.
"I want to go and see, okay?"
Chen Xu was in a hurry to open a noodle restaurant, but declined, "Next time."
"The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and it will be very busy next time. The next time you want to have dinner with me, it will be the New Year's Eve."
As she spoke, she complained again, "Besides, our company has a project in another place that is about to start. I was selected by the lottery and I will go on a business trip. I will leave when I turn 20. This year I will be celebrating the New Year outside."
"Then, let's see you next year." Chen Xu felt a little disappointed, but at the same time, he seemed to be relieved, and it was hard to tell what it was like.
S: Monday, please recommend a ticket.
