"What should I do if I get airsick?"
"I brought medicine."
"… Don't eat that kind of thing often, it's bad for your health. Call me when you get there." He paused and said, "I saw the weather forecast saying it's going to rain there, be careful not to catch a cold. Don't use the air conditioner too hard just because you're afraid of the heat. Contact me when you get there."
He muttered on and on for a while, his voice coming through the receiver. In the messy waiting hall where lovers often parted and reunited, this homely muttering seemed particularly gentle, and it immediately warmed Xieyi's heart.
Her ear, which was on the other side of the phone, slowly began to feel hot.
"Xiao Shen, what's wrong with you? Do you have a cold and a fever?" Chen Jing asked suspiciously.
Xieyi waited for Li Zeliang to hang up the phone, and quickly waved her hands, "No." Then she touched her hot face.
Sister Jing is experienced and guessed it right away, "You are reluctant to say goodbye to your boyfriend?"
“No… no.”
"As the saying goes, a short absence is better than a new marriage. Don't spoil a man too much. Just let him wait. He will definitely wait for you to come back like sticky honey. You can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a lamb." Sister Jing smiled.
Xieyi smiled embarrassedly, turned off the phone and put it in her handbag.
He just nagged her a few words so softly and gently, but she couldn't help but feel the little rabbit in her heart fluttering.
On the plane, Sister Jing gave Xieyi a bag of candied dates to try. Xieyi ate one and waved his hand.
"I won't eat it anymore."
"lose weight?"
"I'm afraid of toothache."
"Hey," Sister Jing laughed, "You're just a little kid and you're like this."
When they left the airport, it was indeed raining. The branch office had already sent a car to pick them up, and they went straight to the branch office without leaving their luggage at the hotel.
When the car passed by the gate of M University, Xieyi couldn't help but look back.
"It's a famous school, and the aura is different. My daughter wants to be admitted here, so she asked me to bring her to have a look." Sister Jing sighed when she saw the sign of M University.
When we got to the company, we didn't even have time to take a breath before we hurriedly started the meeting with the people there. Halfway through the meeting, when it was Xieyi's turn to speak, a secretary suddenly knocked on the door and said, "Manager Wu, there's a call."
Manager Wu of the branch office said without turning his head, "Xiao Wang, I told you that everyone is busy. Tell the other party to call back later."
"But... it was Mr. Li who called." Xiao Wang was in a dilemma.
"No one..." Manager Wu said halfway, then suddenly realized, "Who are you talking about?"
"President Li Zeliang." Xiao Wang said solemnly.
"Mr. Li?" Manager Wu confirmed again.
"Mr. Li is looking for Miss Shen Xieyi from the headquarters." Xiao Wang said as she looked around the group of people. She didn't know who Shen Xieyi was, she was just curious about what kind of person came from the headquarters that made Li Zeliang call her personally.
You have to know that Mr. Li is a figure in women's fantasies. He is so handsome that even his leg disease becomes a foil. She also saw him from a distance last time when she followed her boss to the headquarters for the year-end report.
Unexpectedly, the tall girl with a ponytail at the end stood up and raised her hand to signal, "I'm Shen Xieyi, where can I answer the phone?"
Xiao Wang smiled and said, "Please follow me."
Others could not see from the surface how crazy Xie Yi, who looked calm and confident at the moment, was in his heart, and how he wished he could find a hole to crawl into.
Damn Li Zeliang, why is he making such a fuss about her at this time? It's obvious that he wants to tease her to death.
She went to the manager's office and picked up the phone with a frown on her face. She said "Hello" without any hope, because it took so long to go back and forth, and with the man's patience, he would have hung up long ago.
"Hmm." A slightly displeased single voice came from the other side.
"I'm Shen Xieyi." She glanced at Secretary Wang.
"Shen Xieyi, what did I tell you before you boarded the plane?"
"What did you say?" Xieyi was confused by the plane and the meeting just now, so he asked back casually.
This time, instead of answering her, he was silent for a while on the other end of the phone, and then with a click, he ruthlessly cut off the call.
Xieyi frowned angrily at the busy tone in the receiver. What was this person doing? He didn't even call her on her cell phone, but made a long-distance call, which wasted a lot of time and money. He didn't even say three sentences before hanging up for no apparent reason.
She gritted her teeth and looked at the receiver in her hand in indignation, and suddenly found that the secretary was still sitting not far away, looking at her with an inquiring look. Xieyi immediately swept away the bad mood of being hung up on, smiled at the secretary, and then straightened her back professionally and walked back.
Unfortunately, when she pushed open the door of the conference room, she found that no one seemed to move on to the next item. All eyes were focused on her, and they were all curious about why the president had come all the way to find her.
"Xiao Shen," Sister Jing was the first to speak, "Does Mr. Li have any instructions?"
Xieyi could sense that this was what almost everyone wanted to know, or they would rather ask directly: "Why are we looking for you?"
She walked to her seat without changing her expression and sat down. "Mr. Li asked me to say hello to all my colleagues in City C. He said that everyone is doing a good job and has worked hard."
All the women present smiled excitedly and stepped up their efforts to continue working hard.
It is really blind worship and freehand thinking.
After a while, Sister Jing finally remembered to ask Xie Yi: "Since you are here to greet someone from the branch office, why doesn't Mr. Li call Manager Wu directly?"
He is indeed an old man, and he recovers his sanity faster than others.
"Because he has cramps." Xie Yi said vaguely without even raising his head.
"Hmm?" Sister Jing didn't hear clearly.
"I guess he just wanted to remind us to be more careful tomorrow."
After preparing the materials for the next day's negotiation with the other party, Manager Wu treated everyone to a meal.
While everyone was ordering food, Xieyi went to the bathroom, casually took out her cell phone from her handbag to check the time, and found that she had forgotten to turn it on since she got off the plane.
She suddenly understood.
Before boarding the plane, he asked her to call him when she arrived, but she just responded casually and didn't take it seriously. Was it because she had no news and didn't call him back, so he kept looking for her and finally called Manager Wu's office
So she replied to him, "What did you say?" and that's when he got so angry.
She smiled from the bottom of her heart, and just as she put her phone back into her handbag, she felt it vibrate again. She hurriedly took it out and saw that it was a series of text messages that she had not received after turning off the phone.
15:36 PM
If you get off the plane and turn on your phone, please call me back. If you get airsick on the way, don't go to the company.
16:20 PM
You should have been here a long time ago, Xieyi, why don’t you turn on your phone
17:18 PM
I’m off duty.
17:32 PM
Shen Xieyi!
Each of the four text messages was more concise than the last, until the last one just contained her name, followed by a startling exclamation mark. She originally thought that he really didn't know how to send text messages.
Then before six o'clock, she received a call from this man.
Xieyi sighed, he was indeed a very impatient person.
She closed the lid and was about to put the phone back into her bag, but she found another message.
19:56 PM, just sent.
A short line of words: I was very worried about you just now.
The moment her eyes touched the words that appeared on the screen, she almost held her breath, and her heart suddenly contracted and shrank into a ball. When she came to her senses and tried to breathe, her heart suddenly expanded again. The warm blood twitched from her heart to her whole body like a warm current from a hot spring, and her blood vessels suddenly expanded layer by layer, and her heart began to beat violently in her chest.
She returned to the chair in the private room and sat for a long time before stretching out her fingers and typing on the keyboard: "I really forgot to turn on the phone just now, I'm sorry."
"Xiao Shen, please order some dishes." Manager Wu greeted her.
"Thank you. Just order what you want." Xieyi said.
"Manager Wu, the couple is in love, please don't disturb them." Sister Jing said with a smile.
Barely a few seconds later, he replied. It seemed that he was not uninterested in text messages, but he just needed someone to stimulate and strengthen him.
"Have you eaten yet?"
"I'm about to eat, what are you doing?"
"I'm out having dinner with a client."
"It seems that eating is the most enjoyable activity for humans."
"No, eating is definitely not the activity that humans enjoy the most."
"what is that?"
"The one we didn't do for two whole days."
…
Xieyi couldn't help feeling ashamed and embarrassed.
Of course she knew what he meant, and she bet that he must have written this message and sent it to her in front of many people, pretending to be deep and calm.
