The carriage suddenly fell into silence, only the evening wind outside the window and the looming roar of the engine could be heard.
Xu Xinghe was stunned for a moment, then suddenly asked from a strange angle: "How do you even know that Fang Zhou has two weeks of marriage leave?"
Ling Changfeng paused, and pushed his adjutant out unhurriedly: "Qin Yuan said, recently he is urging me to use up this vacation early."
Xu Xinghe wondered: "You also have that...honeymoon leave?"
Marshal Ling looked sideways slightly, silently sizing up his little spouse,
He doesn't actually have that many holidays, but this doesn't prevent him from nodding his face without changing his expression: "Yeah."
Xu Xinghe asked again: "How long?"
Ling Changfeng continued: "It's also two weeks."
Xu Xinghe struggled: "We are fake, can we let it go or not?"
Of course it is a good thing to have holidays, but go out for honeymoon with Ling Changfeng? ? always feel weird...
When Ling Changfeng heard the words, his different pupils slanted, and his tone was casually indifferent: "Well, it doesn't matter if you let it go or not. But if you don't need to take the two full weeks of paid leave, isn't it a loss?"
Xu Xinghe: "..." That's really a loss!
Ling Changfeng persisted, and continued to seduce him calmly: "If you go out with me, you can choose the place, and you can be reimbursed for the whole journey."
Xu Xinghe was moved.
He thought for a moment, then raised his head: "Why don't you wait for me to finish the work at hand first..."
"Then?"
"Then when I use up the team building quota..."
Ling Changfeng looked at him blankly, as if he didn't quite understand why his little spouse thought that the honeymoon was fine, but he refused to miss this kind of unit team building.
He imitated Xu Xinghe's tone just now, and asked indifferently: "This kind of unit team building, can you go or not?"
"Ah?" Xu Xinghe was stunned this time, and stammered: "But, but these five days of vacation, it's a loss if you don't use them."
Then he continued to add: "The Ark team building is generally very happy, and everyone will definitely work hard on the project this time. Isn't it good to go out and relax together after the work is done?"
Perhaps Xu Xinghe himself didn't realize that when he said this, his black eyes were shining, with a little anticipation for the holiday, and his emotions were not strong, but Ling Changfeng couldn't refuse at all.
"En." Ling Changfeng looked at him, and the light in his different pupils softened a bit, but his tone remained unchanged, "It's pretty good, then I'll wait for you to come back."
Xu Xinghe smiled, and lay back comfortably in the seat: "OK, then when everything is over, we can discuss about the two weeks of honeymoon."
When he said this, he basically agreed, and Marshal Ling nodded in satisfaction: "Okay."
In the next few days, it became normal for Xu Xinghe to work overtime, and he could not get home until after nine o'clock almost every night.
As a result, Ling Changfeng lost the desire to go home early, so he simply took the initiative to work overtime.
This made Lieutenant Qin Yuan very depressed.
Major General Qin didn't know about Xu Xinghe's overtime work at first, and he was still wondering why his own boss was suddenly not in a hurry to go home.
If it weren't for the fact that Ling Changfeng seemed in a good mood and his expression was the same as usual, he would have suspected that there was some conflict between these two people, so he deliberately avoided seeing him and started a cold war.
However, when Ling Changfeng was about to stay in the Double Star Building for dinner again on Friday night, Qin Yuan finally couldn't help asking: "Sir, as your most loyal and reliable deputy, I can find out What has happened to your private life recently?"
Ling Changfeng raised his eyelids, and glanced at him with his naturally indifferent eyes: "You have an appointment tonight? If you have something to do, go back first."
Qin Yuan immediately clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, then I will withdraw first."
After finishing talking, he took two steps, but turned back.
Ling Changfeng looked up at him.
Qin Yuan spread his hands, and said frankly: "Well, I actually have nothing to do tonight, I just want to go home early... But I thought about it, let this day go early, it's not a cure for the symptoms, but I still have to care about why you suddenly turned around." Sex—didn’t you say a while ago that there will be no accidents and you must ensure that you get off work at six o’clock every day?”
Ling Changfeng opened his mouth, and was about to say "you don't need to care about this", but before he could say it, another matter suddenly occurred to him.
"Honeymoon—" He raised his eyes calmly, his different eyes locked on his adjutant, and said in a calm tone: "My honeymoon leave, how did you arrange it?"
Qin Yuan's mouth instantly opened into an "O" shape: "Ah??"
He looked at his own official for two seconds with a shocked face: "Do you always have such things as honeymoon leave?"
"Now there is." Ling Changfeng said indifferently, and his tone could not be questioned.
Qin Yuan: "..."
He wanted to say something more, but Ling Changfeng asked him one step ahead: "Didn't you promise to arrange the dinner before?"
Qin Yuan swallowed under the watchful eyes of the officer, and said bravely: "How can you take what you say on the wine table seriously? And I didn't say no to arrange it, it's just that this period of time is not peaceful..."
The opposite pupil narrowed slightly.
Qin Yuan suddenly lost his voice, and turned to raising his hands in a gesture of surrender: "Okay, okay, let's arrange it! When are you going to spend your honeymoon?" Then he started to look through the electronic schedule: "Then you have to work harder during this time Yes, a lot of work can't be postponed, but can only be handled in advance."
Ling Changfeng nodded slightly: "You look at the arrangements."
Then the slender fingertips tapped on the table a few times, and asked again: "Any suitable honeymoon spots to recommend?"
Qin Yuan thought for a while: "It depends on your personal preference. Do you want to go to a bustling scenic spot, or a quiet and private island?"
After finishing speaking, without waiting for Ling Changfeng to answer, he stretched out a finger and added: "From the perspective of safety, I recommend the latter. Because some famous scenic spots are crowded with people, and it is difficult to implement traffic control." …However, if Xinghe really wants to go, it’s not impossible, the big deal is to strengthen the surrounding security deployment at that time, there is always a way to solve the problem. So you should go back and ask his opinion first.”
Ling Changfeng nodded: "Okay, I see."
"So why are you leaving get off work so late these days? Because Xinghe is also late?" Qin Yuan finally realized the problem.
"Well, he has to work overtime recently." Ling Changfeng's voice sounded emotionless.
Qin Yuan leaned sideways to the desk of his parent's official, turned his head, and smiled a little teasingly: "Now I feel that the house is deserted, and it's boring to go back alone, isn't it?"
Ling Changfeng looked at him, and asked blankly: "So I don't understand why you are so active after get off work every day?"
Qin Yuan: "..."
He straightened up quickly, straightened his collar, and then walked away solemnly: "The officer is retiring."
To the south of the ark, there is a grove dedicated to employees' leisure and relaxation. In the golden autumn season, maple leaves have covered the gravel road in no time.
Teams three and six worked overtime for the Thunder Engine project, worked together for a week, and finally completed the plan before the deadline.
The enabling test was successful and the program ran smoothly.
That night, Mr. Liang entertained guests and set up a few tables of banquets in a high-end cafeteria next to the ark to celebrate his success.
Members of the two groups, plus several small department leaders, a total of about thirty people attended the banquet. Everyone gathered together, and the scene was very lively.
The originally agreed not to drink alcohol has become a piece of empty talk. In the hall, there is a lot of drinking and laughter.
However, because they had to go to work the next day, most of them drank more restrainedly, and in the end, only a few people drank a few pieces.
Xu Xinghe even substituted fruit juice for alcohol from beginning to end, never touched a drop of alcohol, and was ridiculed by his colleagues for how he suddenly behaved so thoroughly.
After returning home at night that year, Xu Xinghe was suddenly pulled into a chat group called "9.26 Team Building". In the group were members of the third group and the sixth group, a total of 26 people.
Conrad, the leader of the third group: "Our project vacation has been approved! Next Wednesday to Friday, including last weekend, a total of five days, you can travel to any city in the capital star, where do you want to go? Do you have any good suggestions? Just speak up @all members」
The crowd suddenly burst into cheers.
Chattered and chatted.
Xu Xinghe didn't have any places he really wanted to go, so he just lay on the bed and watched them chatting with each other.
"I want to go to Isabel's Sky Garden!"
"I just went to this place during the summer vacation... there are so many people! I feel that it is not suitable for group activities QAQ"
"What about the seaside resorts in the Blue Star Islands?"
"Winter is going on in that area right now? How can anyone go to the beach in winter? It's better to see a serious snow scene."
"Has anyone been to Nanjia City in the north? It seems to be very popular in the past two years. It is said that the snow scene is very beautiful, there is rime along the river, and you can also see the natural wonders of the Rizhao Golden Summit on the Nanjia Snow Mountain. Are you interested?"
Xu Xinghe paused slightly with his fingertips swiping the screen, the person who made the suggestion was Gu Nai.
Since the last forum turmoil, he could clearly feel that Gu Nai was avoiding himself intentionally or unintentionally.
Although communication at work is still inevitable, there is no more redundant words in private. At the celebration dinner just now, the eyes of the two collided inadvertently, and Gu Nai just smiled and nodded to himself, that's all.
But for this, Xu Xinghe is also happy to see the success. Between colleagues, you can't get too rigid, and you don't have to be overly enthusiastic.
Everyone works hard together during working hours, solves problems, gathers together after get off work, sings a song, and enriches spare time life. In his opinion, it is already a perfect colleague relationship. uneasy.
"This is okay! Nanga has been a new internet celebrity attraction in the past two years. I've always wanted to go but haven't made it yet."
"It is said that there are not many people here, so it will not be crowded"
"I searched for photos on the Internet, this place is so beautiful!"
"Okay, how about going here?"
Gu Nai's proposal was quickly echoed by many people.
Then there were the two team leaders of Aite: "Is this place okay? @Conrad@许星河"
Xu Xinghe: "I have no objection"
Conrad: "Let's go here, I'll talk to Mr. Liang tomorrow"
That night, Xu Xinghe told Ling Changfeng the news by email.
Marshal Ling's recent work meetings also suddenly increased, and he didn't know what he was catching up on. He often worked overtime until late at night before returning home, so the two of them could be said to get together less and leave more, but the online chat time has become longer.
In the next few days, the members of the third group and the sixth group were basically not at work.
First, they just finished a big project, and there is only some finishing work left to be done. There will be no new projects for the time being, and the work pressure is much reduced; second, the five-day long vacation is just around the corner. It is related to travel, and my mind has long been drifting.
In such an atmosphere of anticipation, the time came to Tuesday in a blink of an eye.
That night, Ling Changfeng left work early after a long absence, went to the ark to pick up Xu Xinghe in person, and the two went to a five-star restaurant in the city center for dinner.
After returning home, Xu Xinghe hurried back to his room to pack his luggage.
Xiao Qi wandered around him curiously, pulling the suitcase with his paws from time to time, or simply got into the suitcase, shrinking himself into a fluffy ball.
Xu Xinghe had no choice but to carry Ms. Xiaoqi out again and again.
After tidying up like this for a while, the doorbell rang again.
"Please come in." Xu Xinghe saw that Ling Changfeng was on the monitor screen, and without thinking about it, he let him in directly, and kept tidying up.
As soon as Ling Changfeng entered the house, he saw all kinds of clothes and daily necessities evenly spread all over the floor, which can be called a mess.
Unable to stop, he raised his head and asked Xu Xinghe, "How many days are you going to go?"
Xu Xinghe replied while tidying up: "Five days... Actually it was four and a half days, and I came back at noon on the fifth day."
Ling Changfeng looked at Xu Xinghe's giant 32-inch trolley case: "Five days, so many things?"
Xu Xinghe tilted his head and looked at his suitcase: "Is there a lot?"
Ling Changfeng: "..."
While speaking, Xiao Qi flicked his big tail again, and nimbly jumped into the box.
Only then did Xu Xinghe remember something, so he stopped what he was doing, stood up, turned his head, and looked at Ling Changfeng solemnly: "By the way, I've been away for a few days, and I have something important to ask you—"
Ling Changfeng looked back indifferently: "I will help you feed Xiaoqi."
Xu Xinghe: "..." This person has learned to answer quickly now!
He nodded: "Then thank you, Xiao Qi will be counting on you."
Ling Changfeng looked at him: "Is there anything else to explain?"
Xu Xinghe shook his head: "No, anyway, I'll be back in five days."
After all, continue to pack the box.
Ling Changfeng looked at his little spouse speechlessly, with an unpredictable expression on his face.
Although there will be a wonderful two-week honeymoon waiting for them in the future, Marshal Ling still feels unresolved depression when he thinks of the next four or five days of separation.
Especially when he found out that his little mate wasn't in a similar mood and was still packing his bags in high spirits.
Marshal Ling was silent for a moment, then suddenly said: "You have to leave for five days..."
Xu Xinghe waited for him to say more, but he didn't wait for a long time, so he raised his head again: "Well, what's wrong?"
Ling Changfeng asked calmly, "What should I do if I miss you?"
Xu Xinghe's movements froze, and he opened his eyes wide: "What?"
Ling Changfeng lowered his eyes, and his different pupils lightly passed over Xiao Qi in the box: "I said cat."
Xu Xinghe blinked: "... oh."
He gently carried the cat down, then neatly folded the clothes in his hands and put them in the suitcase.
Ling Changfeng repeated again: "What if the cat misses you?"
"Huh?" Xu Xinghe was slightly taken aback, looking down at Ms. Xiaoqi who was still circling around the box foolishly: "I've been on a business trip before, and Xiaoqi doesn't seem to have much reaction. And now it's accompanied by Aaron, it should be It won't be boring, will it? Besides, I'll be back soon, there will be no problem."
Ling Changfeng pursed his lips noncommittally: "The cat is very in love with the owner. You have been away for so long, and it may miss you."
"Ah?" Xu Xinghe raised his head in a daze, his expression became a bit complicated, "Maybe... the creature you're talking about is called a dog?"
Ling Changfeng: "..."
Marshal Ling was silent for two seconds, without changing his face, he said: "I said Xiaoqi, he is very sticky to you."
When Xu Xinghe saw his serious look, he was also a little entangled.
Thinking about it carefully, although I have been on business trips before, since I started raising Xiaoqi, I have never left it for more than three days.
"Then what should I do..." Xu Xinghe murmured.
"How about—" Ling Changfeng's eyes flicked past Xu Xinghe's body, and he suggested calmly, "Do you make a video call every night?"
Xu Xinghe was stunned: "And Xiaoqi?"
Ling Changfeng lowered his eyes: "Well, otherwise, the cat will miss you."
