"Dad... Why are you here..." Li Jingjing called out softly.
Lao Li stood up from the top of the stairs. He held a cigarette in his hand. He had been smoking silently before, as if thinking about his thoughts.
"It's not that you don't worry, come and take a look." Lao Li smiled kindly at Li Jingjing, then looked at Yang Chen, and said: "Xiao Yang, you are also here, we haven't seen each other for a long time."
Yang Chen saw that Lao Li was a little uncomfortable. He probably understood a little bit in his heart. He smiled and said, "Yes, there have been a lot of things these days, but I still buy breakfast at the vegetable market, but I didn't run into you much."
Old Li nodded, hesitantly glanced between Li Jingjing and Yang Chen, "What are you... doing?"
"Dad, Big Brother Yang took me to buy some furniture and said he would come here to see the house where I live." Li Jingjing explained, "Don't think too much."
Lao Li sighed, "Jingjing, don't blame me for talking too much. Your mother is not in a good mood these days. If you move out by yourself, it's fine, but you can't keep her words in your ears. It's a lifelong event, not a joke. of."
Li Jingjing lowered her head and said nothing.
Yang Chen knew that this was actually said to himself, but Lao Li gave himself face and didn't bluntly let him leave Li Jingjing.
"Xiao Yang, don't blame me for talking too much, brother, I'm just a girl like Jingjing," Lao Li said dryly, "I heard Jingjing say that you are already married, and you have to pay attention to the influence. If you go away It's near, it's not good for both of you."
Yang Chen nodded in understanding, looked at Li Jingjing, who was a little pale, and felt helpless.
After all, I still haven't been able to enter the role of an ordinary person well. Indeed, as a parent, how can I tolerate the only daughter being with a married man, she is still so young, so beautiful, and so innocent.
I always simplify things too naturally, often ignoring the feelings and feelings of ordinary people.
In the current situation, I really shouldn't make Lao Li and his wife embarrassed anymore. Perhaps keeping some distance with Li Jingjing would be good for everyone.
"Jingjing, I'm leaving first. I can rest assured that I know where you live is safe. Listen to your father's words and don't make your mother worry." Yang Chen said.
Li Jingjing's eyes were red, but she responded slightly, "I see."
Yang Chen didn't stay much, and after greeted Lao Li, he left the apartment.
On the way back to the company, Yang Chen thought about many happy scenes of getting along with Lao Li's family when he first returned to China. He really felt ashamed of them and made up his mind not to take the initiative to contact Li Jingjing even for the sake of their husband and wife.
Back in the company's office, a group of female publicists are busy, even the youngest girls who can't be idle on weekdays are working hard, or constantly using the phone to force gentle communication with customers.
Yang Chen suddenly felt that he was a little different, and it was okay when everyone was idle, but when he was busy, he seemed a bit embarrassed in the office as an idler.
When he walked to his seat, Yang Chen turned on the computer and played a game for a while. Zhao Hongyan, who was closest to him, walked to Yang Chen with a file and put it on Yang Chen’s desk and said: "Yang Chen, help me take this Give the file to Sister Mingyu in the office. I'm going out to meet a client. Thank you!"
After finishing talking, Zhao Hongyan twisted the package in a red short skirt and raised her small purse on her hips and hurried out.
Yang Chen smiled silently, picked up the file, walked to the door of Liu Mingyu's minister's office and knocked on the door.
"Please come in."
Yang Chen opened the door. This was the first time Yang Chen entered this office after Mo Qianni left office. Now the woman sitting in the minister's chair has been replaced by Liu Mingyu.
Seeing that *Public Relations, who was bullied by Minister Ma, became one of the top executives of the company today, Yang Chen was a little lamented how time flies.
Liu Mingyu was facing the computer screen with his hands quickly tapping on the keyboard. He was a little surprised to see Yang Chen entering the door, but he smiled gently afterwards.
"Hongyan asked me to give this to you. She will be busy seeing the client." Yang Chen put the file on the desk.
Liu Mingyu nodded, "Thank you."
Seeing that she was busy, Yang Chen turned around and planned to leave, but just as he was about to walk out, Liu Mingyu called him.
"Yang Chen, can you do me a favor?" Liu Mingyu asked.
"Of course, the whole department is the most leisurely for me," Yang Chen said with a smile.
Liu Mingyu pursed his lips and gave him a glance, "That's it. In the afternoon, I plan to go to the autumn clothing conference to meet with the person in charge of Donghua Technology. The models from various modeling companies are already on the simulated catwalk. I want to Confirm the layout of the venue, and watch the model's catwalk, can you accompany me there?"
Although he was already at the ministerial level of the company, Liu Mingyu didn't buy a car for himself. On the one hand, it was the burden of the family. On the other hand, it was because of China Shipping Transportation that it was better to take a taxi to buy a car.
Yang Chen naturally has no objection. Although it is not clear why Liu Mingyu let him go with him, being a driver is more comfortable than sitting in an office as an alternative employee.
After Liu Mingyu cleaned up briefly, the two left the company and went to the China Overseas International Convention and Exhibition Center rented for the autumn clothing conference.
When he arrived at the convention and exhibition center, Zhang Ming, the project leader of Donghua Technology, was already waiting at the door. This was a middle-aged man wearing a white shirt and a good-looking appearance. He was about 1.8 meters tall and was considered a high-level white-collar worker with good looks.
When Zhang Ming saw Liu Mingyu, he was obviously very excited, but when he saw Yang Chen who was accompanying Liu Mingyu, his expression was not so natural.
Liu Mingyu motioned a look at Yang Chen, Yang Chen suddenly, no wonder he suddenly called himself to come together, it turns out that the other party is not a good bird, Liu Mingyu was also extra cautious after the incident of Minister Ma.
"Miss Liu is really a model of seriousness and responsibility. I didn't expect that she would come here to inspect in person so late." Zhang Ming took the initiative to reach out and shake her hand to Liu Mingyu.
Liu Mingyu smiled formulaically, and briefly touched the ground with him, "The model's catwalk can't go wrong, and the degree of fit with the runway is also very important. If you don't see the final result, your heart will always be uneasy."
Feeling Liu Mingyu's watchfulness, Zhang Ming's face became more ugly, and he forced a smile and made a please gesture, leading Liu Mingyu and Yang Chen into the venue.
As soon as he entered the exhibition center, the powerful lighting effect inside made Yang Chen feel that the entire space was like a scene of a magic movie. On the brightly-lined catwalk, rows of tall models were wearing ordinary clothes and training the steps, making them for the show in the near future. The final sprint.
Since the model company is international, many of the models on the runway are blonde and blue-eyed Westerners, which makes Yang Chen look a little bit nostalgic. After all, for most of the past years, all he saw were Western women. .
Zhang Ming, the director of Donghua Technology, knew that there was no chance to get close to Liu Mingyu today. He simply said a reason and walked away by himself. After Liu Mingyu took Yang Chen around in the exhibition center, he breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile : "It seems that there is no problem. The stage and lighting have achieved the expected results. This task can basically be crossed."
"Don't you need to talk to the models?" Yang Chen asked.
Liu Mingyu smiled strangely and said: "You want to communicate, look at your eyes on those models, men are really not a good thing."
"I just looked at their postures from a purely admiring angle. Appreciating beautiful things shouldn't be considered a bad habit."
"I hope that's the case, otherwise I've misunderstood you." Liu Mingyu said with a face of disbelief: "Don't drive away the wolf, put a lion in the door."
Yang Chen smiled, "Even if I am a lion, you didn't put me in the door."
Liu Mingyu's face was flushed, the topic became ambiguous, and he changed the subject: "To be honest, sometimes I really envy those models. They can always walk so confidently and so flying."
"People are poor breasts, what's so envious of." Yang Chen muttered.
"Poor breasts?" Liu Mingyu couldn't help giggling: "The reason why most of these international models have small breasts is to better support all kinds of fashionable clothes. When you say that they are like poor airplanes. The same field."
"It's all bones, I didn't feel it when I touched it." Yang Chen was uninterested.
"As if you really touched someone," Liu Mingyu gave him a disdainful look.
Yang Chen chuckled, why didn't he touch it, he touched a lot, but it didn't make sense to say this kind of thing.
"Actually, not so much envious of their work, as envious of them being able to show off the beauty of young girls freely..." Liu Mingyu looked at the models on the catwalk somewhat fascinatingly, and said, "I'm not afraid to say it to you. You joke, in one or two years, I will really run for the third time. But I haven’t even worn a set of sexy clothes, never talked about a complete love, let alone the crazy things young people do now. And something exciting... Sometimes I think about it, I have come here all these years."
"Didn't you have a boyfriend for many years?" Yang Chen remembered Liu Mingyu told him that her boyfriend had never come back when she joined the army.
Liu Mingyu smiled miserably, "Yeah... I met in the university. He asked me to wait for him before he joined the army, but since he joined the army, he never contacted me again. Some of my friends said that if it were them, it would have been a mutiny. ', but I'm afraid he will come back someday, saying that I have let him down, so I didn't find a boyfriend again. In fact, even now, although I sometimes think of him, I don't even remember what he looks like. … Am I too stupid?"
Yang Chen felt a little worthless for Liu Mingyu. After all, she wasted so much youth and waited for a man who was far away indefinitely because of her beauty. It was too expensive, but it was a private matter of others and it was not too much to say. Just said: "You think it's worth it."
"Really..." Liu Mingyu smiled lightly, "Yes."
Seeing the time is not early, Liu Mingyu suggested: "For the sake of your hard work as a driver and helping me block flies, I will treat you to dinner."
"Where to go?" Yang Chen also felt hungry.
"The old place." Liu Mingyu said with a wink. t
