Meeting the woman's insightful gaze, Shen Qian felt for the first time what it means to be "lack of confidence".
"Hou Hou..." He called her name, with a deep tone, revealing a kind of desolation and sadness, even with a hint of imploring.
"If you can see through my thoughts, you will definitely understand why I did this..."
"Understood, then?" Shen Hou curled his lips, his eyes were indifferent, "I understand that you have troubles, or should I be considerate of you as a last resort?"
Shen Qian was speechless.
He could have gone to the dinner by himself, but stubbornly called her up.
The good name is for the sake of wise face, to send a signal to the outside world that the two are living together in peace.
But there is no selfishness of his own in this?
Most of the northerners’ business is negotiated at the wine table, and when it comes to the wine board and dinner, the first thing you think of is not wine or rice, but-a woman!
It's not that these men are really going to do something at the table, but there are one or two Jieyuhuas that can be used as ridicules, and the atmosphere is active, which really helps the transaction.
The man thought it was nothing, but just said a few words of meat and toasting a few glasses of wine.
Women who specialize in public relations don't think there is anything. After all, they are their own jobs, and they have reached a professional level in communication and entertainment.
But Shen Hou is different.
It's true that she is a woman, but she is also the president of Mingda, the daughter of the Shen family, and Zou Gang's series of behaviors and speeches are not only frivolous, but even to the point of obsceneness, and she doesn't pay attention to her at all.
Xu is deceiving her young and tender, unscrupulous, or unable to do anything, trying to take advantage of her words.
"...Have you ever thought that when he insulted me, he was trampling on the Shen family and ignoring Mingda? As long as you still have a temper, you should just slap your face and leave."
"I'm leaving, haven't I?" Shen Qian looked at her, his eyes darkened.
"But before that, you hesitated, subconsciously want to stay, let me accept the apology of Zou."
There is no way for men to argue.
Because it's all facts.
She saw through his despicableness and selfishness, and then easily tore off the fig leaf, so that all the ugliness were invisible.
"Tomorrow is the bidding meeting, so you can do it yourself."
After that, he took a deep look at him, and Shen Hou bowed down and got into the taxi, "Thank you for going to XX Hotel."
It quickly disappeared from the man's field of vision.
Twenty minutes later, the taxi stopped in front of the hotel.
Shen Hou paid the money and walked straight in.
The night wind moved the hem of her black skirt and opened it up like a black lotus in full bloom in the dark night.
The driver was a young guy. He watched her enter the revolving door and disappeared completely before he looked back reluctantly.
room.
Shen Hun was about to change clothes and remove makeup. Just then, the phone rang.
One glance at the screen, the next second, the sharpness is lost, and the eyebrows are soft.
"Do you miss me?" The call was connected, and the man's magnetic voice came from the other end, like a trembling bass string.
Shen Hou paused for two seconds before returning to him: "A little bit."
"Only one point?"
"Then... Two or three o'clock?"
There was a low smile on the other end, "But I really want to, what should I do?"
When Shen Hou heard it, his heart softened.
"me too."
Stopped there, "Say it again."
"I miss you too."
Quan Hanting's heart was crushed and re-grown, and then he was crushed again. The joys and sorrows were only for her.
Shen Wei holding his mobile phone, walked to the floor-to-ceiling windows, the bustling night of Sifang City came into view, a dazzling sight.
"Are things going well on the island?"
He replied: "All good." The two words covered everything, erasing all the difficulties in the process.
Quan Hanting: "How about you?"
"Everything is fine."
The same goes for good news but not bad news.
"When will you go home?" he said at the same time.
When these words came out, both of them were shocked.
Shen Hou: "There are two days left."
Quan Hanting: "It's the same."
Before they met, they were independent individuals, accustomed to loneliness, and also adapted to loneliness.
After meeting, they are still independent individuals, each with their own ambitions and goals, but after all, they are different.
With a hug that can be docked, a warm body temperature, verbal encouragement, and spiritual support.
They are still themselves, but they are more entangled because of each other's existence, tacitly plotting each other into the blueprint for the future, the scroll is opened, and one extension is a lifetime.
Endless obsessive love, endless deep love and affection.
A phone call lasted for forty minutes, and after thinking about it, I didn’t seem to say anything.
It is ordinary chat, ordinary greetings, ordinary showing of love, ordinary thoughts.
Occasionally, the two of them do not speak, and enjoy the quiet time quietly.
As long as you hear the other person's voice and feel the other person's existence, you will still be happy even if you don't say anything.
…
On the second day, the project bidding meeting of Yonglin Group was held as scheduled.
Shen Qian sat on the bidding stand in a suit and leather shoes. Behind him was a team of eight people. They only flew over from Ningcheng last night. At this moment, they are making the final revision and confirmation of the bidding book.
In addition to Mingda, many companies are also gearing up, some from other provinces and some locally.
"Mr. Shen, are you here too?" A voice suddenly inserted next to him, with a somewhat pretended surprise.
Shen Qian fastened his coat buttons, sat upright, and nodded slightly at him: "Mr. Liu, lucky to meet."
The person called "President Liu" simply sat down in the empty seat beside him, "Huh? Why are you alone? What about the newly appointed female president? Didn't you get the invitation together?"
Just now I was surprised by Shen Qian's arrival, but turned his head around, but he didn't even know who he was with.
He also deliberately emphasized the "female president", ironically that Shen Qian could not even do a woman and was decentralized by a wild species.
Shen Qian's expression remained unchanged, without even blinking his eyes: "She is not feeling well, staying in the hotel and waiting for news."
"So Miss Shen didn't come?"
"What advice does Mr. Liu have?"
The man smiled and waved his hand, but there was a flash of light in his eyes: "I dare not be a teacher, but there is a doubt."
"Why don't you listen to it? See if I can help you." Wenrun smiled, interpreting the connotation of "cultivation" to the extreme.
"Ms. Shen can be absent as the president of Mingda. I am afraid it is not because of physical reasons?"
Shen Qian's eyebrows suddenly sank: "What on earth does President Liu want to say?"
"I'm just curious that two tigers actually appeared on the top of Mingda. Do you think there will be a fight in the future? Or is it not in the future, they have already started fighting now?"
"You think too much."
"Really?" Mr. Liu chuckled, no longer looking at him, and turned back to look straight ahead.
It's just that look, no matter how you look at it, there is a sense of gloating.
Shen Qian could only bear it.
The eight members of the team behind, while working, also listened to the conversation of the two bosses.
Yeah, why doesn't the other Mr. Shen come?
Each exchanged eyes, secretly thinking.
I'm afraid that there is not really any contradiction between the two, so that's why I can't get angry?
Shen Hun really didn't want to come. Since Shen Qian is so enthusiastic, he should let him take the charge.
So, when the bidding was in full swing, Shen Hun was sitting in the hotel restaurant enjoying breakfast.
After eating, I went shopping for two laps, and when I came back, I was carrying shopping bags in both hands.
Back to the room, put things down, and asked the waiter to prepare the private swimming pool. She changed her swimsuit and plunged into it. The splash was not obvious.
I saw that the underwater person was as light as a fish, and he swept far away, with long hands and long legs, and an elegant posture. The waiter standing by the pool had long been dumbfounded.
At eleven o'clock in the morning, the bidding meeting ended and the results were announced on the spot.
Not surprisingly, Mingda won the bid!
The stone in Shen Qian's heart finally landed steadily.
He rushed back to the hotel for the first time, went straight to Shen Hou's room, knocked for a while but didn't get any response.
Call the service manager on this floor: "...Where is she?"
"The open-air private pool on the 32nd floor."
Shen Qian took the elevator to the 32nd floor again, and was stopped by the hotel staff within two steps: "Sorry, sir, this is a private swimming pool, which is not open to the public."
"I'm here to find someone."
"?"
"Shen Wei is my sister."
…
At the moment he jumped out of the water, he unexpectedly met the man's dark eyes, and Shen Hun made a pause. Instead of climbing to the shore, he sank back into the water.
"Get up." The man reached out to her.
Shen Hou did not move.
"When do you want to soak in it?"
Shen Hou: "I get up by myself, you go out first."
At this time, Shen Qian didn't move.
"Say it again, get up." The tone was deep.
"I'll say it again, get out."
He is cold, she is colder than him.
He is hard, she is harder than him.
The eyes are facing each other, and they don't give in to each other.
Shen Qian stared at her, snapping his lips: "What are you afraid of? In broad daylight, I can still eat you?"
The surface of the water was flush to the woman's chest, and the delicate collarbone was exposed, but unfortunately, the falling drops of water were clearly visible, and the long white legs could be seen vaguely under the sparkling water.
The hibiscus comes out of the water, and it is naturally carved, but that's it, right?
In the end, Shen Qian was convinced, "I will wait for you outside for five minutes."
After confirming that he had left, Shen Hun broke out of the water, pulled the towel over his body, and entered the dressing room next to him.
She has to take a shower, wash her hair, change clothes, five minutes is definitely not enough.
Love wait, don't wait to be pulled down!
It took a quarter of an hour for Shen Hun to clean up. Originally thought Shen Qian would leave without patience, but he didn't expect that he would still be waiting outside.
The man stands with his back, his back straight.
Wide shoulders and narrow hips, standard inverted triangle body.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, he suddenly turned back: "You are twelve minutes late!"
Shen Hou: "You said five minutes, did I agree?"
"..."
She walked over and pressed the elevator, the metal door opened, stepped inside, turned and stood still.
Shen Qian also followed in.
As the elevator went down, the bright metal door panels reflected the expressions of the two, one with his eyebrows tucked tightly, and the other calm and calm.
"looking for me?"
"The results of the bidding have been announced."
"Yeah." Shen Hou's reaction was mediocre, even showing a bit of indifference.
She really doesn't care.
Shen Qian: "Mingda won the bid."
After hearing this, her expression remained unchanged, as if she had expected it.
At this moment, the man completely wilted like a punctured balloon: "You are right, we do dominate. In front of Yonglin, there is no need to be so cautious."
Shen Hou raised his eyebrows, which counts as... admitting your mistake?
"What is the look in your eyes?"
"not easy."
"?"
The woman no longer speaks.
Ding-
The elevator arrived, and the two walked out at the same time, one room went to the left and the other went to the right.
Should have parted ways and went their own way, Shen Qian suddenly stopped—
"At noon, I will have dinner with the president of Yonglin. By the way, I will talk about the contract details. There are no such smoky people, you..." He paused, "Would you like to be together?"
"Do I have the right to refuse?"
"of course."
"Okay, then I won't go."
Shen Qian: "..."
What is aggrieved? This is what he is now.
What is depression? That's right, it's his current mood.
"I will go back to the room with nothing else." After speaking, he turned and left.
The man stood in place, his fists loose and tight, tight and loose.
At noon, Shen Qian went to the appointment; Shen Hou stayed in the hotel restaurant to dine.
At about two o'clock in the afternoon, the phone rang, it was Shen Qian—
She sat up from her sex and was disturbed during the lunch break. She was naturally not very happy, and her tone was not good: "What's the matter?"
Uh…
"Hello, do you know the owner of this phone?"
Not the expected voice, Shen Hou's sleepiness disappeared: "Who are you?"
"This is the White Night Bar. This gentleman was drunk, and we couldn't ask for the address, so we dialed the most recent call in the call log. Is it convenient for you to come and pick him up now?"
bar?
Drunk?
Didn’t you go to dinner with the president of Yonglin?
Drinking in broad daylight?
This is not like what Shen Qian would do. What the hell is it? !
Shen Wei suddenly felt unreality while holding the phone.
Biting the tip of the tongue, it's good, not a dream.
"... Hello? Hello, miss, are you still listening? Is it convenient for you to come and pick up this gentleman?"
"You give him your phone."
"But this gentleman is too drunk to open his eyes..."
"Then you put the phone to his ear and I want to talk to him."
"Okay... It's okay."
"Shen Qian, listen carefully. If it's really you, just give me a scream and call me out with a phone call. Who knows if your phone dropped and was picked up by someone with a bad heart? I count three. Voice, if you haven’t heard your voice yet, it’s not you and I won’t come to the bar.
"Hou Hou... How did I hear her voice?" Zhuang Ruomeng, "Heh, it's so funny..."
Shen Xu pursed his lips.
It's really him!
"Well, you can bring your phone." This was to the bartender.
"Miss, look at this..."
"Address." The voice was as deep as water.
Twenty minutes later, the taxi stopped at the entrance of the bar. Shen Hou paid the money, pushed the door and got out of the car. As soon as Fu looked up, he saw the words "White Night" come into view.
It's not a circle of fancy neon revolving lights, but white characters on a blue background, not ostentatious and well-mannered.
It looks like a clear one.
Otherwise, it will not be open during the day.
Shen Hou pushed the door in. There was no deafening heavy metal sound, and the music was melodious and relaxing. Unlike a bar, it looked like an emotional coffee shop.
The floating smell in the air is not the smell of alcohol, but a mixture of several floral scents, which cannot be distinguished specifically, but it smells good.
"Welcome..." The waiter did not wear a black suit, waistcoat or red bow tie, but a casual dress with a short-sleeved T-shirt and jeans.
