2019, Nanjing.

The weather has changed significantly since autumn. The clothes in Xu Zhi's wardrobe have not been changed into long sleeves, and one day they were already freezing to death.

She lay on the window and looked out, trying to see the traffic.

Aunt Jiang trotted in with an ouch, her fat body trembling like rolling waves: "My eldest lady, you are not afraid of catching cold!"

She was wrapped into a small rice dumpling, only revealing her beautiful little head.

She took a comb from the dressing table to comb her hair. Her pair of skinny but extremely dexterous hands soon gave her a bun, which was both decent and beautiful. It was different from the old-fashioned hair in the hospital. .

Xu Zhi grimaced: "Wearing so much -"

"Two sweaters are too much? You'll freeze to death! Forget it! You want beauty, not warmth!"

Xu Zhi showed a heartless smile.

Two days later, she officially went to contact Chengwan for the project.

First, she made two phone calls in the name of the hospital. The person who answered the phone was a middle-aged man who looked like a secretary. He patiently listened to her words and declined politely but tactfully.

Xu Zhi was not discouraged. He knew there was a lot of competition for this job, so if he couldn't explain it over the phone, he would go to him.

Before going out that day, she put on light makeup and dressed more commuting.

The other party obviously did not expect that she would come to the door. When he was blocked by her under the office building, his expression was very startled.

Secretary Wang is in his forties, but his appearance is more mature than that of a man in his forties. His head is slightly bald, and he wears a pair of glasses thicker than a beer bottle on the bridge of his nose. He looks a bit dull.

But from the few previous encounters with Xu Zhi, it was obvious that it was just a superficial appearance. How could such a person be dull.

The essence is to observe words and colors and be watertight.

Sure enough, the other party still listened to her words very politely, and did not express his position immediately, saying that he would go back and ask the leader for instructions.

Xu Zhi felt deeply powerless, as if she was stepping on cotton with nowhere to put her efforts.

She was about to say something when Wang Yuwen suddenly received a call and hurriedly left her aside to answer it.

Seeing how he looked like he was facing a formidable enemy, Xu Zhi expected that this was an important call.

The reception room was too quiet. In the silence, the male voice across from me was faint, low and peaceful.

Xu Zhi didn't hear clearly, but her nerves were tense for some reason. She only saw Wang Yuwen's expression changing again and again, turning back to stare at her with an inquiring gaze for a while, which made her feel uncomfortable, so she could only instinctively show him a sweet smile.

After hanging up the phone, Wang Yuwen came over and smiled at her: "Okay, Miss Xu, we have an event in Xikang on Sunday. You can also come to participate. If you have anything to say then, you can tell our leader."

Xu Zhi hurriedly responded and asked a few more insidious questions, but Wang Yuwen was too careless to say anything.

She was discouraged and had to leave.

Seeing her figure leaving around the corner, Wang Yuwen respectfully dialed back.

"He's gone?" It was still the same low and casual male voice.

Wang Yuwen didn't dare to trust him at all, and said hurriedly: "Yes, she should be the person sent by Director Ji. Maybe she wants to find out the truth. Director Ji was in charge of this project before, and he didn't even go to the headquarters. Luo, I have been very close to Lu Zhengsheng recently.

"Don't worry, I can't afford to cause any trouble."

Wang Yuwen was confused, why did he change the order temporarily and tell Miss Xu to go to the guest house.

But don't guess what the superiors think, just implement it. He didn't dare to ask more questions and just whispered that it was true.

In the office.

The phone went off, Fei Nanzhou closed the document, and there was silence for a while.

Until secretary Su Heyu came and knocked on the door carefully: "Do you have time?"

When the new leader first came, everyone in the group was very happy, because he was really kind and good-looking, but after being in contact with him for a long time, we found that he was Everyone has a pleasant attitude, they don't talk much in private, and they have little interest in anything.

But no one dared to make a mistake in front of him. It was said that he had a very deep background and was from the capital. He was sent here after having a falling out with his family.

However, in less than a year, he had figured out the power of the entire company, and with the help of his own strength, he had restrained and controlled the scattered directors. Not only was he not being ignored, but he also quickly gained actual power.

Soon everyone discovered that this seemingly young and easy-going new leader had gradually taken control of the situation and methodically gathered power into his own hands.

"Go ahead." He calmed down, returned to his work state, and put the closed document aside.

Su Heyu then held his breath and went over to report the meeting minutes to him.

-On

the day of the event, Xu Zhi went out early in the morning.

Because it was very important, Zhang He sent Liang Ye to accompany her, but Xu Zhi felt that he was trying to spy on her.

But she didn't say anything on her face, and even joked with her calmly on the way.

Liang Ye's eyes lingered ambiguously on her face, and he pinched her tender cheek: "Have you found a partner?"

"Why, you still want to be a matchmaker for me?" Xu Zhi smiled, feeling wary.

Liang Ye smiled and said, "I'll keep an eye out for someone who is suitable." Xu

Zhi thanked Bu Min, but said tactfully: "The old man in the family is watching closely, and he will stay for two more years."

She had willow eyebrows and was delicate when she spoke. , Wu Nong's soft words were so soft and tender that Liang Ye, a woman, felt as if her bones were softened. He stared at her for a long time without holding back a word.

If she hadn't stayed in a place like the hospital all year round and still dressed so plainly, she would be really a beautiful woman.

Today she was only wearing a plain-colored trench coat with metal buttons, with a bow of the same color exposed on the collar. She was indescribably elegant, intellectual, and radiant.

When they arrived at the guest house, Xu Zhi didn't find Wang Yuwen, so she sent him a text message there.

Wang Yuwen came down from upstairs quickly and said sorry, he had just been entertaining the leaders.

Xu Zhi asked who the leader was and if he could help make a recommendation.

When she said this, it was very natural. Her eyebrows were curved, showing a little innocence and full of affinity.

Liang Ye couldn't help but glance at her. The little girl was quite good at climbing up the pole.

Xu Zhi ignored her playful gaze.

Colleagues were not friends, not to mention Liang Ye had cheated on her a lot before.

With that said, Wang Yuwen politely led them upstairs and straight to the reception hall at the end. When Xu Zhi arrived at the door, he saw many managers from competing companies, some of whom were familiar faces.

No matter how big the company is, they still have to wait in line outside, and some of them have encountered it in previous tenders.

Xu Zhi and Liang Ye lined up behind them and did not feel humiliated.

Unexpectedly, Wang Yuwen pushed open the closed bronze door with a smile and asked her to come this way.

Xu Zhi suddenly felt that many eyes were looking at her, her heart jumped suddenly, and she quickly stepped in with her information.

I thought it was a very serious reception, but unexpectedly the atmosphere was quite harmonious.

The conference hall is quite large, in Chinese style, with wood grain strips running across it as a screen, blocking the view around the corner.

There were vague voices coming from the sofa behind there. Xu Zhi glanced quietly and saw her second uncle Ji Honglang first. He seemed to be in a good mood today, smiling so much that crow's feet appeared at the corners of his eyes.

Opposite him was probably a city leader, he looked familiar, he was dressed simply, he just listened to him quietly and his attitude was very kind.

Xu Zhi had met Ji Hongming before when he went to the municipal party committee to find him. His surname was Wu. The leader surnamed Wu saw her when he raised his eyes. He smiled and raised his hand to wave her over. Xu Zhi also smiled and walked over briskly. Just as he was about to call Secretary Wu, he saw Fei Nanzhou beside him.

He was sitting in the corner seat, which seemed inconspicuous at first glance, but if you look closely, you could see that he was the only one among the five or six people sitting on a single sofa. He had Beijing snacks in his hand and was drinking a cup of tea with his head down.

The others chatted and exchanged pleasantries, and he was just a listener, with a thin but polite smile on his lips.

His appearance seems to be the same as two years ago, but if you look closely, his temperament seems to be more serious, his eyebrows are strong, and his heroic demeanor is restrained. He looks more easy-going than before.

But how could someone like him be really easy-going? Just better at hiding it.

For people at this level, it seems to be normal to keep their emotions and anger indistinct, and the true meaning is always in the vague words, which requires the people below to try their best to guess.

When a few people were chatting, he only smiled lightly and occasionally said something to others when asked. Even if Ji Honglang was overtly or covertly spying on him and targeting him, he just smiled and didn't care at all.

Xu Zhi rehearsed the scene when the two reunited many times in his mind, but when he actually saw it, he was not so excited.

It tends to be more calm and peaceful after the passage of time.

It's good, now they go their own ways and have nothing to do with each other anymore.

But why is there still a suffocating feeling in the chest? It's like listening to a dull rain on an unbearably hot summer night.

As if aware that someone was looking at him, Fei Nanzhou glanced this way.

When their eyes met, Xu Zhi's heart skipped a beat and her back became stiff.

But he just glanced at her and then retracted it calmly, as if he was just looking at a stranger.

At that glance, Xu Zhi clearly saw that there was no smile or even indifference in his dark eyes. He was so calm and indifferent that he seemed to have never known her before.

Xu Zhi stood a little numb, her hands and feet were cold, until the leader named Wu greeted her and asked her to sit over.

Xu Zhi hurriedly found a seat in the corner of the couch and sat down, only daring to touch her butt a little.

"This is Xiao Xu from Jingneng Shenda Comprehensive Energy Research Institute. Her father is an old friend of mine. The little girl is very capable." He turned around and introduced Fei Nanzhou, "She is also pretty."

Xu Zhizhi cheek Some burning.

I don't know if it was her imagination, but she always felt that he was holding the corners of his lips vaguely at that moment while sitting on the sofa.

The light fell on his sparkling eyes, revealing only a peaceful and deep smile.

Xu Zhi discovered to her frustration that she didn't understand him very well two years ago, and she couldn't understand him even more two years later.

He didn't even want to give her any extra emotion.

Xu Zhi withdrew his thoughts almost in embarrassment and held a cup of tea in his hand.

-

She went to the reception that day with confidence, but came back disappointed. When she left, she even just wanted to run away.

Afterwards, when I returned home, I felt very worthless. The executioner who abandoned people on her own initiative became afraid of the person she abandoned.

It was completely reversed, especially the cold look he gave her when he finally left the conference hall. It was meaningful and worth pondering, and it always felt like "you are here and you are fine".

She wasn't sure if she had seen it wrong, and she felt a little scared for no reason.

When I thought about it again, I felt that I had thought too much. The way he looked at her was clearly like looking at a stranger.

She felt guilty and felt that others were going to take revenge on her.

He is now lying alone on a high platform, looking at everyone as if they are passing by, so how can he devote extra energy to her? Let alone revenge, even looking at her is probably too redundant.

After two years of experience, he has been ups and downs in the whirlpool of battles. After so much, what else can he not understand?

I guess in the dead of night, everyone was laughing at me for being so blind, mistaking her, a grain of rice on the wall, for a pearl.

Xu Zhi was a little frustrated and felt that she was being hypocritical.

Now that you have let go, don't keep thinking about the past day and night.

After telling herself this countless times and giving countless psychological hints, she pulled up the quilt and covered her head to stop her random thoughts.

She now has a good job and a good life, and there is no need to commemorate an inappropriate relationship.

With his current status, he still lacks a woman to catch up with?
