They arrived at Xicheng Airport at 10 o'clock in the evening, and it was dark outside the window.

The climate in MI state is humid and cold. Tang Zhi followed Xu Sheng to the door of the cabin, feeling the cold May wind blowing against his face and neck.

Tang Zhi shrank slightly, and Xu Sheng looked back at him.

The brightness of the environment is much like when they first met. Xu Sheng is still so tall, handsome, and arrogant.

Tang Zhi was tired from the journey and stared into the middle of Xu Sheng's eyes, pretending to be looking at Xu Sheng. He felt that Xu Sheng seemed a little familiar with him, but also felt that he didn't.

Xu Sheng probably really looked at him for a while before saying, "Why are you so dazed?"

"Follow me." Then he turned around and walked down.

Tang Zhi also took a step, walked out of the hatch, stood on the white steel plate of the gangway, and looked out.

Compared with Bin'gang International Airport, which is brightly lit and crowded with people, Xicheng Airport is small and has not many planes, making it appear dim and quiet.

Tang Zhi walked down the gangway handrail.

Two cars sent by the other company were parked not far away. The color of the cement floor was dark and light, as if it had just rained lightly.

Xu Sheng shook hands with the greeting Vice President Rupert and got on the first car together.

Tang Zhi took the initiative and walked to the car behind him with Deng Mingxu, one of the negotiators accompanying him.

Because while on the plane, Xu Sheng asked another negotiator named Luo Qian to sit in a car with him after getting off the plane.

Xu Sheng said that when he was looking through the information, he needed Luo Qian to be there to answer his questions in a timely manner.

A car can only seat three people, so Tang Zhi naturally gave up his seat to Luo Qian, thinking he was very considerate.

But after getting into the car, the car in front of me waited for a while before starting.

Tang Zhi felt a little strange and sent Luo Qian a text message asking him what was going on.

Luo Qian quickly replied: "I don't know why I said leave after a while."

Tang Zhi thought for a moment, but he couldn't figure out the reason, so he stopped embarrassing himself.

The car crossed the airport passage and turned onto the highway.

The road in Xicheng is very wide and the street lights are not very bright. Perhaps because it is late at night, there are not many cars on the road.

The drivers drove very fast, and in just over twenty minutes, they passed through densely wooded suburbs, entered urban neighborhoods with low fences and houses on both sides, and drove along the wide river that often runs through the entire Xicheng. Finally, they arrived. Go to the hotel door.

After Xu Sheng got out of the car, he walked into the gate with Grande. Tang Zhi also hurriedly got out of the car and followed in.

The two negotiators on this trip each had a room. Tang Zhi and Xu Sheng lived in the penthouse suite because Xu Sheng refused to sleep with too many people.

From the moment he got off the plane until he entered the hotel room, Xu Sheng kept a straight face and did not speak to Tang Zhi. He was obviously looking down on Tang Zhi.

Tang Zhi was confused. He didn't know whether he had done something wrong or whether it was the weather in Xicheng that made Xu Sheng angry. He felt that Xu Sheng's thoughts were the hardest to guess in the world.

Xu Sheng returned to his room and closed the door with slight force.

Tang Zhi stood there for a while and then returned to his room first.

After washing, Tang Zhi returned to the living room, took out the itinerary sent to him by Xicheng Green Automobile Manufacturing Group, and waited for Xu Sheng to come out to confirm.

Xu Sheng didn't come out for a long time, and Tang Zhi was bored with waiting. He first went to the window and watched the night view for a while, then sat back on the sofa, turned on the TV, and turned on mute to explore local channels.

The remote control of the TV was not very easy to use, so Tang Zhi pressed it randomly and found the adult paid channel.

He thought that Xu Sheng would not come out soon, so he followed the trend and wanted to take a look. Unexpectedly, he only looked a little bit and heard Xu Sheng's cold voice from behind: "Tang Zhi, don't you have a TV in your room? "

Tang Zhi was startled and turned off the phone. The screen went black. He turned around and saw that Xu Sheng's face was also dark, and he immediately explained: "I accidentally clicked on it."

"Really," Xu Sheng obviously didn't accept Tang Zhi's explanation, but he didn't pursue it any further. He walked to the single sofa and sat down, and said to Tang Zhi coldly, "Itinerary."

Tang Zhi quickly picked up the itinerary and checked it with him one by one.

Xu Sheng had some objections to the itinerary the day after tomorrow. Tang Zhi found out the detailed information, brought it to Xu Sheng, and leaned over to show it to him.

To be honest, in order to avoid causing secondary damage to Xu Sheng's mood, Tang Zhi had tried his best not to touch Xu Sheng, but Xu Sheng's face still seemed to be getting worse and worse.

Tang Zhi thought for a while, stood up straighter, and stepped back a little, trying to get further away.

Unexpectedly, Xu Sheng noticed it, looked up at him, and frowned: "Don't move around."

Tang Zhi could only say "Oh" and tried harder to stay still.

By the time all the itineraries were confirmed, it was almost one o'clock.

Xu Sheng looked at Tang Zhi, and before he could say anything, he saw Tang Zhi put down the paper, suddenly leaned over, took an apple from the welcome fruit, and took a bite.

The apple was half as big as Tang Zhi's face. Tang Zhi bit off a small gap, lowered his head and chewed, his cheeks bulging.

"..." Xu Sheng looked at Tang Zhi, who was concentrating on eating apples, with a complicated mood.

Perhaps feeling Xu Sheng's gaze, Tang Zhi raised his head and glanced at him, asking vaguely: "Does Mr. Xu want it?"

"...No need." Xu Sheng said.

After looking at Tang Zhi for a moment, Xu Sheng told him, "You can order a meal."

"No need," Tang Zhi lowered his head and touched his stomach and said, "I'm not very hungry either."

He put his hand on his lower abdomen, looking a little weird for some reason. Xu Sheng looked at it for a few seconds, turned away, and said to him: "I'm going to bed first. If you want to watch the premium channels, go back to your room and watch. But we will continue watching tomorrow." Get up early."

Tang Zhi looked at Xu Sheng, swallowed the apple in his mouth, and pretended to be pitiful to Xu Sheng in a helpless tone: "I really don't want to see it."

Xu Sheng felt that Tang Zhi must have no money here, so he went back to the room without responding to his statement.

The next morning, Xu rose earlier than Tang Zhi.

He went downstairs for a swim and returned to the room. Tang Zhi had just walked out.

Tang Zhi looked like he hadn't had a good rest and was a little green now. As soon as Xu Sheng secretly had doubts in his heart, Tang Zhi took the initiative to explain: "I had insomnia yesterday and didn't sleep well."

"Really," he seemed to have guessed what Xu Sheng was suspecting, and began to raise his hands and swear, "I didn't watch pornographic films!"

Xu Sheng gave a perfunctory "hmm" and told Tang Zhi: "What you are watching has nothing to do with me. Just don't watch it in the living room."

Tang Zhi looked at Xu Sheng for two seconds, looking like he had been wronged and humiliated but had to swallow his anger, and turned around angrily and left.

In the morning, Rupert, the vice president of the automobile group, took them to visit the group's manufacturing plant in Xicheng, and then went to the headquarters building in the afternoon.

The factory is located in the east of Xicheng and covers a large area. After entering the gate, they transferred to a battery sightseeing car and drove past the flat lawn.

It was raining lightly in the sky, and the cold wind came in from the middle of the rain curtain. Tang Zhi felt that he had few clothes on, so he folded his forearms with his hands and pursed his lips.

Fortunately, they arrived at the entrance of the workshop soon. They listened to the introduction of the factory supervisor, visited several production lines, and then headed to the factory control room.

The control room is at the other end of the factory, also next to the west exit.

Rupert admitted to Xu Sheng that the control room involved group secrets and he could take him there, but he hoped that his assistant would not enter.

Tang Zhi didn't really want to go in. After Xu Sheng nodded, Tang Zhi walked out under the leadership of an escort and got into the car that was parked aside.

"Go to the headquarters for lunch later," the escort told him, "You can rest here for a while."

Tang Zhi chatted with the driver for a few words in the car, and the driver got out of the car and waited.

He sat listening to the radio for a while, then felt sleepy. He opened and closed his eyes, and finally fell asleep.

Xu Sheng came down from the control room, walked to the car with Rupert, and saw Tang Zhi sleeping.

Tang Zhi pressed half of his face against the window, sleeping soundly, with his eyes closed tightly and his upper lip slightly raised, looking very silly.

Xu Sheng watched for a few seconds, stopped the driver who was about to open the door for him, raised his hand and knocked on the glass that Tang Zhi was pressing against.

Tang Zhi woke up immediately, jumped a little, and stared blankly at Xu Sheng through the brown glass. It gave Xu Sheng a very ignorant and youthful illusion.

"What's wrong?" He pressed down the car window and asked Xu Sheng.

Xu Sheng immediately felt that he was too bored and did not speak. He glanced at the driver standing aside.

The driver opened the door for him and he got in.

At first, Xu Sheng couldn't see Tang Zhi from the angle he was sitting at. Later, he changed his sitting position and leaned a little to the right, and happened to see the tip of Tang Zhi's nose.

Tang Zhi was looking out the window sideways.

The car moved.

"Tang Zhi." Xu Sheng called him.

Tang Zhi said, "Mr. Xu, what's the matter?" without turning around.

It's been a long time since he turned around like he did in the first place. Xu Sheng was satisfied.

But the problem is that Xu Sheng forgot what he wanted to say to Tang Zhi. Fortunately, the incoming call vibration on his phone saved him.

Xu Hefu called him.

"How's it going?" Xu Hefu's end seemed to be very lively, maybe at a certain dinner party.

Xu Sheng briefly reported the progress to him. As Xu Hefu listened, he seemed to have walked to a quieter place and asked Xu Sheng: "Remember the Zhao family's granddaughter I mentioned to you."

Xu Sheng said "hmm", and Tang Zhi in front of him suddenly moved and leaned forward, so Xu Sheng not only saw the tip of his nose, but also his eyelashes.

They passed through a large area of dark green woods in the suburbs. The raindrops scraped against the car windows, leaving long thin streaks of water.

Nothing special, Xu Sheng thought.

"Her grandfather told me that she was visiting an art exhibition in Don City this week," Xu Hefu continued, "I know that your schedule is not tight this time, so I asked Lao Zhao to help you make an appointment with her for lunch on Saturday."

Tang Zhi raised his left hand and pressed it against the window. The tips of his fingers touched the glass, which looked cold.

"... Ask the secretary to send you the time and place, and you can choose the gift yourself."

Xu Sheng remembered the way Tang Zhi's eyelashes were pressed against the window just now. He felt funny for a moment, then withdrew his gaze, and replied unhurriedly and without emotion: "Okay, grandpa."

Tang Zhi finally turned around and looked at Xu Sheng from the gap between the chair and the car window.

When Xu Sheng put down his phone, he couldn't wait to ask: "Mr. Xu, did you just call me for something?"

Xu Sheng looked at him for a moment and said deliberately: "I want to advise you not to watch adult channels tonight. There will be a lot of work during the day tomorrow."

Tang Zhi might have become angry, so he ignored him and turned his face away. He didn't see the tip of Tang Zhi's nose again until he reached his destination.
