Wearing a new coat, Chen Xu returned to the office, thinking about how to deal with Luo Xiyun who was getting more and more active.
Life is like this, not everything can develop as expected in advance. Xiyun would also take the initiative to attack, which he hadn't expected.
Things like this are sometimes like sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat. Someone takes the first step, and if they don't get a response, they are likely to back off, and even that feeling will change.
There was no way he could drag on like this any longer.
However, now is not the best time...
Suddenly, the phone in his pocket rang. It was an unfamiliar number. After thinking about it, he picked it up, "Hello, hello."
On the opposite side was a woman's voice, "Excuse me, is this Mr. Chen?"
"I'm Fang Fang. I contacted you online about renting a house. When is it convenient to meet?"
"It's you, how is it tonight, do you have time?"
"Okay, you can add me on WeChat, this is the number, and then send me the address."
"Row."
Chen Xu remembered the other party's voice, it was Bai Jinxuan's most trusted manager. Added WeChat, and made an appointment for a time and place to meet.
The day passed quickly, and after get off work, Chen Xu took a taxi directly to meet Fang Fang.
The place they made an appointment was near Bai Jinxuan's house. It was a cafe. When he arrived, people were already waiting there.
After meeting, the two exchanged some polite words, and went up to look at the house without drinking coffee.
Chen Xu has been to this house more than once and is very familiar with it. This is the city center, and the location and apartment type are very good. Four bedrooms and two living rooms, the area is large enough, the house is newly renovated, and the furniture and electrical appliances are complete.
In fact, this is the first house that Bai Jinxuan bought, and the second one next door has a special relationship, and he spent a lot of thought on the decoration.
He took a look at it and expressed his satisfaction. The rent Fang Fang proposed was cheaper than the market price. He had no objection, and soon signed the lease contract. After paying the money, he got the key and could move in at any time.
Fang Fang was very busy, this time he came here specially to deal with the rental matter, handed over the key to him, took the contract and left.
Chen Xu looked at this familiar house. In reality, he and Bai Jinxuan mostly met here. The chances for them to meet were rare, and they cherished each time. There seemed to be her smell in the house.
He went out to have dinner first, returned to the original rented house, packed the computer and some clothes and shoes he usually wears, and just went downstairs when he saw a familiar car parked by the side of the road.
The car window was lowered, revealing Yang Jinxia's surprised face, "You are going out?"
Chen Xu patted the computer case and said, "Who will bring a computer when going out? Of course it is moving."
"Find a house so quickly? Let's go and see your new home."
Chen Xu didn't talk nonsense, put his things in the trunk, got into the car, told the driver the address, turned to look at Yang Jinxia, and said, "You seem to be in a good mood."
"Well, I just made a deal." She smiled, "What about you, you're still working at this time, don't you plan to take a vacation?"
"In a few days, around the Lantern Festival."
Yang Jinxia nodded, looked forward, and suddenly asked, "I'm curious about one thing, why are you interested in Zhonghui Brokerage Company?"
"you guess."
She smiled, stopped mentioning this matter, and switched to other topics.
After half an hour, they arrived.
Yang Jinxia followed him up the stairs. After entering the house, he walked around the living room without making any comments. He walked to the door of the room, looked at Chen Xu who was installing the computer, and asked, "Is there anything to eat?"
Chen Xu has already connected the computer, and while turning it on, he said, "I just moved in, and I haven't bought anything yet. I can only go out to eat."
"I don't like eating out."
"Let's order some takeaway then."
“Takeaway is not clean.”
Chen Xu, who had turned on the phone and was trying out the keyboard and mouse, turned to look at her, and said after two seconds, "There is a supermarket opposite the gate of the community."
"Then let's go."
Just as the two of them went out, the opposite door opened, and a woman in home clothes came out, holding a garbage bag in her hand, and nodded politely when she saw them.
The elevator the three of them waited for went downstairs, and the woman threw the garbage into the trash can before going upstairs again.
Yang Jinxia asked, "Do you recognize her?"
Chen Xu didn't answer, but asked, "Have you ever played Werewolf?"
"No."
"If you go to play, others will think you are cheating."
Yang Jinxia smiled, "That means I know you, but I don't think she knows you."
"Otherwise, it's better to order takeaway."
"It's here."
The two entered the supermarket. The supermarket was not big, more like a convenience store, and it didn't sell meat or vegetables.
"Only this." Finally, Chen Xu took a handful of dried noodles.
Yang Jinxia nodded.
So, he bought a few more eggs, and some condiments like oil, salt, sauce and vinegar. Carrying these things back home, I went to the kitchen and made a bowl of vermicelli in clear soup, the kind that didn't even have green onions.
After serving it out, Yang Jinxia took a bite with the chopsticks and said, "It's better than my mother's."
Chen Xu knew that there was only one woman who could be called mother by her, and that was the titular mother she remarried when she was a child.
She ate very slowly, and she ate up a bowl of noodles with little water in the clear soup.
"I haven't eaten for a long time, I miss it a bit." After she finished eating, she took out a tissue to wipe her mouth, "A few days ago, I went to see her, she was much older and sick, and the husband she married later disappeared, and her children I also don’t want to take care of her, lying alone in the hospital, it’s very pitiful.”
Chen Xu didn't know there was such a story before, she rarely mentioned this nominal mother, he only knew that the other party remarried, and married far away.
"I transferred her to a big hospital, arranged the best ward, and hired a nurse. There is no way, who let her be my mother, if I don't care, others will think I am too cold-blooded."
"People, living in this world, you will always be bound by some rules, what do you think?"
Chen Xu reached for the bowl and said, "I think you're right." He walked into the kitchen, washed the bowls and chopsticks, and put them back into the disinfection cabinet.
"Thank you for the noodles, I had a great time." After he came out, Yang Jinxia stood up and was about to leave.
Chen Xu walked out the door, stood in front of the elevator door, and asked, "Old man, how are you doing now?"
"Which one are you asking?"
"Your grandma."
"The doctor said she was in stable condition."
Ding, the elevator is here.
"No more." Yang Jinxia said as he got into the elevator. Computer side::/
"Next time, it's your turn to invite me."
She smiled, "Okay."
