At the Goldman Sachs Building, Song Qiyue and his entourage rushed to negotiate. After the conclusion, they left. They only left today, but they met the slender figure in the front. The assistant reminded, "Director Song, is Joe Chen’s vice president. ."
Qiao Chenxi was standing outside, but when Song Qiyue had just arrived, Song Qiyue passed by in the lobby on the ground floor. Now that she is still there, it must be waiting for her.
The two approached, Song Qiyue stopped walking, "It seems that Vice Qiao always has something to say."
"There is a coffee shop nearby, let's have a drink if it is convenient." Qiao Chenxi also said directly.
Song Qiyue then ordered an assistant to lead people away first, and the two of them moved their positions.
At this point in time, the passenger flow is not many, in twos and threes. The seats they were sitting on, in the last corner, no one was empty in the surrounding tables.
The coffee came up, and the aroma slowly dissipated. Song Qiyue said, "The last time you asked me to sit in a cafe, it seems to be a few years ago."
Qiao Chenxi looked at the coffee, and the spoon gently stirred the brown liquid. Suddenly I remembered that it was indeed the same encounter in Bingcheng many years ago, that year.
"Last time I happened to meet, you were waiting for me specially today." Song Qiyue said again.
Qiao Chenxi smiled, "Song Qiyue, has anyone ever said that you are very smart."
"Many people praise me so much." She smiled.
Qiao Chenxi's smile was condensed, "But smart people may not be happy, on the contrary, they will lose a lot."
"Really." Song Qiyue asked, "What else can I lose today?"
Qiao Chenxi was startled. Since meeting again after the disaster of prison, all their encounters seem to be unpleasant, and there is no such thing as this moment. They are the only ones left, but the only thing that remains unchanged is that it is not pleasant at this moment. . She couldn't refute, because she really had nothing at that time.
"Or, you are referring to Shao Fei." Song Qiyue said of him while fixing her eyes.
Qiao Chenxi was silent, and Song Qiyue said, "You want to tell me that I will lose him too."
"There will always be such a day." Qiao Chenxi put down the spoon.
"This day may indeed come, but it will definitely not be now." Song Qiyue smiled, her eyes cold, "Then let's talk about it, what are you going to tell me if you invited me here today." "
"You know." Qiao Chenxi never shook his eyes.
Song Qiyue said, "Then you are here to accuse me, Long Yuan robbed Qiaochen's project."
"I originally wanted to do this, but after thinking about it, there is nothing. But they are all resources. You can take them away. That is your ability. I can lose it, and it is also my shortcoming."
"You can figure it out, Vice President Qiao, to toast you a glass." Song Qiyue raised the glass, Qiao Chenxi took it, and said, "Since it is not an accusation, it is a questioning. Questioning I secretly made tricks. Sent someone to go undercover with you."
"Why do you think so." Qiao Chenxi asked.
"Now is the time to find the reason for the failure. If something goes wrong, someone must take care of it." Song Qiyue was unambiguous, revealing layer by layer, the question at this moment changed the role, but she was facing her. Asked, "You suspect that I instructed Shao Fei, and Shao Fei approached you just to get to the bottom, so that I could win this round."
"Maybe you are so angry that you can't do it, and you feel deceived. How could he do this twice to betray you like this. The last time the court was held, this time too. And how can I do it and arrange? Such a round." Song Qiyue asked softly, that voice was much slower than the busy traffic outside.
Everything was in Jingyi, as if waiting for a breakthrough, so that everything could break out, Song Qiyue stared at it, "Qiao Chenxi, in fact, you have already assumed that I sent Shao Fei to be an undercover agent."
I should have been so angry that I should shoot the crime immediately, but at this moment, Qiao Chenxi did not. She whispered, “When the police questioned him when the incident happened, I insisted that you secretly framed him.”
"He told me that he only knows that you will not frame him. As for the information, someone must betray him." That was the words of many years ago, but Qiao Chenxi remembered it so clearly, let alone the present." A while ago, I came to Hong Kong City again because of a bidding project. I wanted Goldman Sachs to cooperate, so I asked him to repay a favor, and asked him to ask Miss Sun Yingzi for help, reducing the profit by 10%."
"He refused. I said at the time that if it was you, Song Qiyue came to him for help, he would definitely agree." Qiao Chenxi recalled that scene, and thousands of answers were not as good as his one. "But You know how he answered me."
Song Qiyue sat quietly. The person she was facing was not Qiao Chenxi, but she suddenly became Shao Fei. Qiao Chenxi smiled. I don't know if it was relieved or irritated. That might be something she would never be able to reach in her lifetime. The other side is so far away, "He said, you won't open this mouth to him, because you won't let him do things that make him embarrassed."
With a stab, Song Qiyue's heart seemed to be cut apart. Although the emotion on her face had not changed at all, her eyes were trembling.
"Lost." Qiao Chenxi smiled and almost sighed. "At that moment, I knew I had lost. When I grew up, whether it was an exam, a competition, or entering the company, I had never lost so badly, never It feels like a failure."
"No matter what I do, no matter what I say, it's still incomparable, your place in his heart." Qiao Chenxi said softly as if he had accepted his fate.
It was her laughter that made Song Qiyue regain her senses for a while, "So, you are here to tell me that you have decided to quit. That's really good, he thinks it will be relaxed."
"Yes, I will pester him at first, but I just think he likes you and chasing you." Qiao Chenxi recalled the beginning of the story, when Song Qiyue and Mo Zhengyan were married, and he was leaning towards him. Song Qiyue's relationship is unclear, "Think about it now, even the beginning between me and him was because of you."
"Seriously, I'm really curious. If it wasn't for him to have a crush on you, then what reason is there for him to treat you like this. I didn't know what happened between you until you went to court." She wants to be too much better, Qiao Chenxi said, "People’s feelings are very strange, but they can be like relatives if they are not relatives. Sometimes the trust is so blind that even oneself feels weird. As long as you recognize it, you can believe it. I believe this person is more than myself."
Believing in this person, more than himself, Song Qiyue suddenly fell silent, Qiao Chenxi asked, "Do you understand?"
Song Qiyue didn't say a word, and Qiao Chenxi smiled again, "It's okay, it doesn't matter if you don't understand it or not, it's just me complaining and talking nonsense."
After this sentence, Qiao Chenxi's voice sank, "Song Qiyue, no matter what, Long Yuan has won, and your goal has been achieved. You can take Shao Fei back."
"He has been staying in Hong Kong City, I know he is waiting for you to come back." In this world, besides Song Qiyue, who else will let him linger like his relatives, that must be gone, he is already an orphan , Qiao Chenxi said, "Let him follow you and stop staying at Goldman Sachs. Although the project failed, but your cooperation with Goldman Sachs was successful, asking Goldman Sachs to have someone alone is a simple matter for you."
Her eyes were clear and translucent, but the eye sockets were slightly red. It seemed that she could not help the emotions overflowing in her heart because she was pretending to be strong at this moment. That's why.
Song Qiyue's whole body became more and more condensed, but she was also a little surprised. She asked, "You just came to tell me this?"
"Nothing else." Qiao Chenxi smiled coolly, she replied, "That's it, goodbye."
After Qiao Chenxi said, she really quickly got up and left without hesitation.
Song Qiyue was still sitting in the seat, and she could see her leaving figure through the floor-to-ceiling windows, crossing the road, and then leaving, acting in one go, as if she had already figured out what the current situation was for. She was smiling, and the coffee across the table was still hot.
People take the tea to cool, there is always a reason, and they will all go.
Song Qiyue was motionless, her smile was so indifferent, it seemed to be comforting, but also melancholy.
There are some things that Qiao Chenxi doesn't know, the person she said, he has long been unable to go back, nor will he go back.
...
"Special assistant Shao, Miss Sun is waiting for you." The secretary saw Shao Fei, and she whispered.
In the past few days, Shao Fei has been sent to the branch office to deal with affairs because of the failure of the project. This is true in name, but in essence it is self-examination and reflection, which is equivalent to a temporary vacation. This day the secretary informed that Miss Sun wanted to see him, and Shao Fei rushed to the company immediately.
"Miss Sun." Shao Fei entered the office.
Sun Yingzi invited him to sit down and said, "How are the things at hand handled?"
"You may be dissatisfied, but I really can't find a problem. I believe that no one will betray the company." Shao Fei is still the same answer.
Sun Yingzi nodded and said, "Well, in this case, this matter will end here."
the end? Shao Fei was surprised, how could it be so fast? Sun Yingzi said, "This morning, Qiaochen's vice president came, and she affirmed that the responsibility for the failure of the project lies with Qiaochen..."
After that, I didn’t hear all the words clearly, but Shao Fei stayed still, and Sun Yingzi said, "Since Qiao Chen has recognized it, then forget it. This matter is turned over. There is another project here, you are responsible for..."
Shao Fei saw Sun Yingzi, so he retreated. When he returned to the office, everything seemed to be just an episode, so the wind passed. He was stunned for a moment. He picked up the phone and dialed Qiaochen's branch office in Hong Kong, but the answer to him from the other end was, "Very Sorry, Special Assistant Shao, Vice President Qiao has left Gangcheng for Yucheng. Also, she asked me to tell you that the cooperation between Qiaochen and Goldman Sachs has ended."
It's over, completely, as she said last night: Shao Fei, let's break up.
Without saying a word, the meeting is no longer needed, so she walked so decisively and disappeared without a trace.
It seems that this life will never meet again.
In the blue sky outside the window, a plane flew past. I don't know if she has already set off, is on the road, or is in Yucheng.
In November, Yucheng is no longer hot, but it is still much hotter than Gangcheng. There is a sense of intimacy in returning to his homeland, but Qiao Chenxi does not have too much joy.
After leaving the airport and getting on the bus, the journey went smoothly. She was watching with her mobile phone. There were hundreds of messages in that inbox, but she didn't delete one. Coming and going, her finger repeated an action repeatedly, selecting all, deleting, confirming, canceling... she froze and couldn't continue.
The car drove forward and was about to reach the destination. Suddenly a phone call came in, it was from Father Qiao.
Qiao Chenxi picked it up, and she yelled calmly, "Dad."
"Chenxi, are you back?" Father Qiao asked.
"Well, I'll go home in a while, you and mom will wait for me to eat together." Qiao Chenxi smiled and answered, Qiao's father also seemed to be relieved, he smiled and said, "It's fine if you come back, it's time to come back. , I already know, you have dealt with this loss, tell Mohs, you will take this responsibility. Don't worry, there is nothing wrong, Dad will count all the losses, and will arrange it for you. You are also tired for a while. Let’s take a vacation when you come back. Your mother just said, go abroad to play for a while..."
That's a wonderful plan. It is indeed very good to go abroad to play, but Qiao Chenxi said, "Dad, I also want to go abroad to play on holiday, but it probably won't work."
"how come?"
"Because I still have things to do."
"You have finished processing here, why is there something going on? With your cousin, let me say..."
"Although my cousin is his own, he is also the general manager of the company. There are many things that can't be so covert to me." Qiao Chenxi said softly, "Dad, this time it’s because of me. I didn’t handle it well, and you It doesn't matter, it has nothing to do with Qiao's family."
"Chenxi!" Suddenly, Qiao's father seemed to understand something, and the joyous voice ceased for a second, followed by violent anger, "Where are you now! I forbid you to go back to Qiaochen!"
"What are you doing this for? Now that you still can't let go of the boy named Shao Fei? Chenxi!" Qiao's father's questioning yelled in his ears, Qiao Chenxi replied, "Dad, wait for me to go home. I'll talk later, I'm getting off the car now."
"Chenxi--!" Father Qiao's call didn't work, Qiao Chenxi had turned off.
She put away the phone, turned her head, and the secretary opened the door for her. Joe Chen's headquarters arrived, and she stepped in.
...
After Qiao Chen returned to Yucheng after finishing the project, Song Qiyue met Shao Fei for a drink on one day. In the past, they always talked and laughed. Although there was no business matter, the atmosphere was always good. But that time, I didn't talk a few words from beginning to end.
Finally, after drinking the wine, Song Qiyue left and Shao Fei sent it off, and it was over.
It seems that it can no longer be like before.
"Qiaochen's vice president, the eldest lady is gone. In this way, the cooperation between Goldman Sachs and Qiaochen has come to an end." Nie Xun said in the office.
Song Qiyue asked, "What do you want to say?"
"I think it's a pity not to keep such a talented person as my own. Why don't you ask him if you want to join?" Nie Xun said.
"No." Song Qiyue refused.
Nie Xun's hand wiping the lens stopped, he raised his eyes to look at her, and Song Qiyue said softly, "If he is willing, he will take the initiative and I will wait for him."
"Yes." Nie Xun replied, putting on his glasses. "There will be enough data and evidence here, and we will only wait for the critical moment."
Song Qiyue lightly chins her head, she stands up and looks out of the window, "Let it go slowly, the last hit will hit."
"It's not good to be too comfortable." Nie Xun answered.
The calendar on the wall shows the time. November is about to pass. This year's cold winter seems to be coming again.
In November, Moss suffered two sets of failures in bidding cooperation and the failure of the acquisition plan. Although the turmoil has been calmed down here, the actual problem of the capital chain and other issues have not been completely resolved. There is a question about Vice President Chu Xiaoxin, and It's a big negative. In the following ten days, the latest news broke out every day, all of which were questioning and guilty of Vice President Chu.
It's like it's been arranged long ago, and it's more like a painted pit, waiting for the people walking to be discredited to fall in the dark night. When the man got up, he walked, and the next hole was at his feet again. Some of the overwhelming problems can be solved, but some cannot.
Who can be innocent and spotless, like a piece of clean white cloth, even if it is only stained with ink, it is dirty.
Obviously, Vice President Chu's recent situation is not good, but he is still supporting him.
At the end of the month, Song Qiyue learned a piece of news about Qiao Chen. He heard that Qiao Chen was guilty of Qiao Chenxi’s loss, but he could not find the reason. Qiao Chenxi took the initiative to ask for the crime, and the headquarters sent her down. Go to the branch. It is a city in the north, and when winter arrives, it will be cold. I also heard that the delegated project will never be completed within one or two years.
No one knows how that tall lady can survive such a cold winter and how to adapt to everything there. It's just that the matter is a foregone conclusion, Qiao Chenxi was sent down.
"When I went to Qiao Chenxi, it would be impossible for Qiaochen on Mo's side to help anymore, and it was a big success." In his spare afternoon, Nie Xun sent scented tea to taste.
Sneaking in and out has always been respected by Song Qiyue. People should always treat themselves better, but the smile on her face is so weak that she can hardly see her.
"Vice President Qiao has been delegated. I don't know if he will quit and chase after he heard about it." Nie Xun said quietly.
"No." Song Qiyue answered, Shao Fei would not go by himself.
During his contact with Goldman Sachs, Song Qiyue occasionally met with Shao Fei. The two of them were in the same company, and they didn't have much free time, and they couldn't meet again. It's just that they would have a cup of coffee together. When Song Qiyue went to wait for the document to fail, she went to visit her old friend.
Although the coffee is mellow, it has a faint bitter taste, probably because the topic is too rigid, so it can't continue. Song Qiyue's smile condensed at the corner of her mouth, and she suddenly said, "Feier, you are blaming me." "
"No." Shao Fei replied, looking at her, "I have always been very clear that shopping malls are like this, no one is to blame for saying that failure is failure, and success is unscrupulous."
"Unscrupulous." Song Qiyue read these four words, and she smiled again, "Yes, I don't know when I started, and I have changed. Try every means to use all the possibilities, just seek success regardless of the process. This world is so realistic, no one will remember the past, only the success or failure."
What she said was too realistic, and even more serious. For a long time, Shao Fei only said solemnly, "If you want to achieve your goal, then go to the goal, as long as you are happy."
He sincerely said such words, Song Qiyue heard and felt it. But it was like the last question, like the last temptation, "Actually, don't think about her anymore, Feier, if I ask you to come back and help me now, will you come."
It seemed as if something was being sawed, between whether or not, the dilemma was answered, everything was entrenched but was stripped away again, Shao Fei did not speak, perhaps he could not answer, nor could he say it out.
But at this second, Song Qiyue knew, she smiled and said, "I just said that if I don't answer, it's okay. It's just that from now on, you and I are walking two paths, so you don't have to go together again.
Half of the coffee was drunk, and it was placed on the table. The person in front of him was no longer there. Shao Fei looked at the empty front. The words were still on the lips, but the throat was blocked, and there was no way to continue. I don't know how long it took, he was extremely annoyed, but he could only slam his fist on the table, and with a "bang--" everything was still, as if the curtain ended.
"I went to Goldman Sachs. After you came back, you didn't speak much anymore. You were upset because of whom you met and talked to?" Some news will be heard by Nie Xun, such as Song Qiyue's visit to Shao Fei today. Office.
Song Qiyue said, "It's nothing, just understand a sentence."
"what."
"Different ways are not conspiring." Song Qiyue said so. Nie Xun was taken aback, but she raised the corners of her mouth, "In fact, it's pretty good."
Before Nie Xun could answer, Song Qiyue looked at the time and said, "There is a parent conference today, it's almost time to go."
It’s been a while since the last parent meeting of the school. This time it is the end of autumn, so the school will be held again in preparation to invite parents to come. But it was Song Qiyue's first time attending such a meeting. She arrived on time even earlier. Shao Yu saw her and waved to her in the classroom.
One after another, the parents have arrived. Several Song Qiyue met. Their children and Shao Yu are good friends. Suddenly a parent asked, "Mother Shao Yu, is your husband still here? ?"
Her husband? This is really a big misunderstanding, but in fact the marriage certificate is still there. Song Qiyue smiled before he could answer, and someone said, "This is not here!"
Mo Zhengyan came from the end of the corridor in the back. He was a handsome man with a straight suit. He was even more heroic among the fathers, like a world of difference.
The only thing that remains unchanged is his face, which is still so pale compared to the previous few days.
In the eyes of everyone, Mo Zhengyan walked to Song Qiyue, "I'm late."
"Dad!" Shao Yu saw that they were all there, and waved.
Song Qiyue also smiled and waved to her son through the windowpane. Just after Shao Yu regained her gaze and continued to make handicrafts with her partners, Song Qiyue noticed that the people on the side had been watching her.
She couldn't help turning her head, "What are you staring at me to see."
Mo Zhengyan asked in a soft voice, Song Qiyue was shocked by the words, how did he find out, how to know, and how to perceive, she was not just unhappy, but, but—
"What makes you so sad?" He gently leaned over and looked at her and asked.
