Chapter 1 is always, after all, difficult to calm down.

It is late autumn again, and the sycamore trees on both sides of the road have already reached the sky.

Many, many years ago, when she was an intern at the university, there were still large areas of farmland here. Who would have thought that now it is a fully mature free trade zone, and the successful experience gained has been spread across the country. It takes a hundred years to experience the vicissitudes of life.

When this place was first established, Xu Yanqing came back.

At that time, he was already the deputy director. A few days ago, she saw on their department's website that he had been promoted to director.

In the photo, he is as elegant and handsome as before, with curly dark brown hair and sharp and deep eyes.

After all these years, he has finally reached great heights.

Xia Jinxian smiled, wrapped herself tightly in the cold wind, and made a call to the assistant general manager of the logistics company she had already connected with.

While waiting for the other party's assistant to come out to pick her up, one of her tenants called and said, "Ms. Xia, I really haven't been paid for the past two months because of my salary. I'm really sorry-" He

gave a bunch of reasons, as if He is the most miserable person in the world.

Xia Jinxian's hair was messed up by the wind. She brushed her bangs and said, "I can give you another month's grace, but if it's still like this after one month, we have a contract. And I think you understand in your heart that in the past two years, I I haven't given you a penny increase, and I've even given you six months off."

The tenant thanked him profusely, but to Xia Jinxian, it sounded completely unsincere. This was his first time in three months. She made excuses three times to delay the rent, which was simply a waste of money, taking advantage of her good intentions.

It is indeed difficult for people to live in this world, but at least they should have some integrity, right?

She sent a message to the agency to inform her of the situation.

Anyway, as long as it is profitable, the intermediary will definitely be willing to do it.

Xia Jinxian hung up the phone, and the assistant was already standing next to her.

The two shook hands with a smile and went to tomorrow's venue to check out the venue.

She has long been familiar with these tasks. Although she struggled to do them back then, now she has done them repeatedly for so many years that it is difficult to make mistakes.

She didn't know anything about organizing documents, meetings, communication, and coordination back then. When she came to the New District Management Committee, she was still a young carrot head. Now, she has lived up to his expectations. It took more than ten years to make a step forward. Still just a small deputy chief clerk.

After entering the company, I looked at the cars parked at the door. A low-key Audi A8 was parked in a special parking space, and there was a Rolls-Royce next to it. It seemed that he was a powerful boss.

The Rolls-Royce's license plate starts with a special rental number, which is obviously used to pick up guests or attend banquets.

Nowadays, the boss who is really responsible is keen on leasing. From an economic point of view, it is more cost-effective. Renting a car also includes a driver and maintenance, which can save a lot of costs. It seems that the boss of this logistics company is very business-minded.

This time we came to inspect, on the one hand, we also want to see the latest results of enterprise introduction, and on the other hand, we also want to evaluate whether the other party can be recommended to the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference.

She observed carefully to avoid being tested by the leader when she went back.

Unconsciously, she would keep in mind what he taught her back then.

Entering the logistics company, the factory area is large and fully intelligently operated. There are not many employees in the factory area, but they all look relatively relaxed, which shows that the treatment is not bad.

The other person's supervisor was waiting for her inside with a work badge. She quickly bowed to greet the other person, shaking hands weakly and looking at each other to see if the other was valuable.

Xia Jinxian handed over her business card, and the other party laughed when she saw that it was the secretary of the New District CPPCC Secretariat Department and knew that she was someone close to the leader.

The CPPCC can allow some entrepreneurs to obtain the political identity they long for, and it is also the only way to demonstrate their strength and join a higher-level circle. Generally speaking, most business people join the CPPCC, serve one or two terms, and then transfer to the National People's Congress. This is normal. It is also the default game rule.

She didn't understand this at first, and she vaguely felt that doing so was hypocritical, but now it seems that it is just a necessary means to survive in the workplace.

Being able to be used at least proves that you are still useful. This is Xia Jinxian's most profound realization after sitting on the bench for six full years and doing useless work for eight years.

He was such an elegant man, with the demeanor of a scholar, but he occasionally taught her the art of balancing power.

At that time, she teased him and said he was evil-hearted. After hearing this, he always pretended to be angry and punished her with kisses.

Who is he kissing now?

Tsk, some things are in the past, so we can’t think too much about them.

Xia Jinxian chatted with the person in charge of the other party for a while, asked the person in charge to walk around the route, gave adjustment suggestions, and confirmed the parking spaces, docking people and conference rooms for tomorrow, and then asked the staff to place the materials at that time, and then continued After chatting for a while, I was ready to say goodbye to each other.

The person in charge of the other party asked her if she needed to arrange a vehicle for delivery, but she said no. The other party smiled and said, "Xiaco, how inconvenient would it be to not buy a transportation vehicle?"

She sighed, "The salary of civil servants is too low to afford a car. The other party thought she was joking and said, "

You are the elite of society."

Xia Jinxian listened to his flattery and didn't take it to heart. She smiled and exchanged a few perfunctory words before shaking hands and leaving.

It's not that I can't afford a car, but that every time I drive, I think of him.

He accompanied me to sign up for the driving school, he accompanied me to practice driving, and the first car I drove after I hit the road was his.

A gust of cold wind swept through, and Xia Jinxian sneezed.

She remembered the winter when they were in love. Once she caught a cold, and her hands and feet were cold and she stayed in the house he bought.

When Xu Yanqing came back from working overtime with his boss, he saw her pitiful appearance and laughed at how someone like her would be his wife in the future, but he cooked a bowl of porridge and fed her in small mouthfuls.

Back then, I wanted to be his wife so much, learn to do housework, learn to cook, and learn to be well-behaved.

Now that I have learned it, so what?

Paying these to anyone other than him would, after all, be unsatisfactory.

It is also this late autumn, the leaves on both sides of the street are falling, the northwest wind is roaring from Siberia, it can only blow the bare branches, and heating has begun in the north.

Xu Yanqing finished revising the mobilization draft for the opening of the training class and handed it to the General Office. He saw a little girl sitting in the cubicle, whose profile looked vaguely like hers.

He was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered that she was the new intern girl, the same 21-year-old she was when she first came to the management committee.

He collected his things and got ready to get off work.

Han Yun called and asked, "Why did you mention the director and didn't report it to your family?"

Xu Yanqing asked, "Is it necessary? In your opinion, is this a big deal?"

Han Yun said directly and arrogantly , "Xu! Yan! Qing! How did you talk to me?!"

Xu Yanqing was speechless.

Han Yun talked there for a long time, but Xu Yanqing didn't reply a word.

Xu Yanqing walked to the window. There was a misty evening outside.

When the sunset was at its most beautiful, Xu Yanqing's cell phone was still in call mode, but he just held it and hung it by his side.

If you include his college years, he has lived in this city for sixteen years.

The new intern finished binding the training materials and gave him a set.

Xu Yanqing flipped through it, tapped one of the pages, and pointed it out to the intern.

The intern looked a little embarrassed. The binding was completed, but there was one page missing.

Xu Yanqing put her phone on the table and whispered instructions to the intern, telling her how to rework.

The intern held the notebook, afraid that he would blame her, but he just whispered and told her what to do.

Suddenly I remembered that Xia Jinxian was ostracized and made things difficult by people in the same department because she was in love with him.

Before a big meeting, her outcasts deliberately got the material wrong.

When he found out, the printing office was already off work.

So I contacted an advertising company, but after I sent it, everything was printed wrong due to resolution and font issues.

In the end, the two of us had to rush to the advertising agency together to retype, proofread and print.

The weather was also like this that night. They worked all night until 3 o'clock. The two of them planned to go back to the apartment in the cool morning air.

She breathed out the steam mischievously, turning it into a light mist, and her smile was hidden in the mist, becoming hazy, which made his heart move.

Later, I felt that such an all-nighter experience was very rare, so I simply decided not to sleep.

He parked the car in Century Park, and then the two of them walked along Century Avenue to watch the dawn of the bustling city and the rising sun.

It doesn't seem to be a very distant thing, as if she is still around, it is just life, living it, thinking that one or two years is very long, but looking back, eight years is just a snap of the fingers.

Han Yun finally stopped nagging and Xu Yanqing said to her, "I understand. You can tell me the time whenever you want me to accompany you."

Han Yun said angrily again, "Xu Yanqing!"

Xu Yanqing picked up the phone. .

He still doesn't understand why Han Yun doesn't give up after more than ten years?

Or do you want to enjoy this forceful and sweet pleasure?

Does she have diabetes?

Is it to enjoy the pleasure of being powerful and immersed in the fantasy of infinite love, and to use this almost self-abuse and abuse method to experience the pleasure of not getting what you want?

I still remember that on their wedding night, Han Yun even told her that she had used her "lackey" to get Xia Jinxian an administrative sanction.

If not, why would he compromise so far?

That day, he finally accepted his fate and told himself and her, "Let's live a good life."

However, being single is happier than such a marriage.

The intern stayed behind to continue adjusting the materials, and Xu Yanqing simply accompanied him.

Two years ago, he moved back to a small apartment nearby for fear of affecting Han Yun, citing his poor health and busy business.

The way Han Yun looked at him at that time made him always suspect that she was up to something else, but he was tired of it and just wanted to escape.

It was already very late after get off work. I stood on Yuetan South Street and looked at Yuyuantan Park in the distance.

This city is still as it was in college, with the weight of history and the nobility of the capital.

Anyone who is engaged in politics always longs to come here. This is where the temple that so many people yearned for in ancient times was located.

And what about him?

Before he was even thirty years old, he followed his parents' orders and came here. For the sake of his parents' official career, he married another person.

Then, his mother ordered the people he loved not to climb high.

People's double standards are sometimes ironic.

Xu Yanqing took out his cell phone, rubbed his frozen hands, and called Pan Yijun to ask, "Well, how is she doing?"

Pan Yijun asked, "Who, Chen Ming?"

A curse word stuck in Xu Yanqing's throat.

Pan Yijun felt his friend's forbearance, and after a moment of reaction, he realized who he was asking, and said, "Well, you know, I won't ask again. Didn't you ask the leaders of their district when you came back last time?"

Xu Yanqing hummed and said, "If she comes to you again like she did back then... at least tell me."

After hearing this, Pan Yijun was stunned for a while and sighed again.

I thought to myself, why is this necessary? You two are already married, is there any possibility?

Why are you still unwilling to give up?

Xu Yanqing said after a while, "I might go to Yangzhou first in March next year, and then go back to Shanghai to see a few projects. Are you there?"

Pan Yijun said, "How dare I not be here when you come? We, Lao Ye, must put the I'll stay with you. Or do you want Chen Ming to accompany you?"

Xu Yanqing finally couldn't hold it back and sent him a message.

Pan Yijun rubbed his forehead and thought, this friend is really difficult to take care of.

After all, he felt a little better after being teased like this.

Xu Yanqing chatted with him for a few more times before hanging up.

Not far away, a boy was wearing a scarf that obviously didn't match his outfit, but he rubbed his hands to keep them warm.

Then he put the hand of the petite girl in front of him into his palm and held it to his chest.

Much like them back then.

Xu Yanqing felt that her eyes were a little sore, maybe because she looked at the computer too much.

He rubbed his eyes, and Han Yun sent a message: Sunday afternoon, 3 o'clock, at grandpa's house, you come to pick me up first.

He replied with a nice word and put away the phone.

The boy didn't know what he said, and the girl pretended to be angry.

The boy chased after him, hugged the girl, and coaxed her in her ear.

The girl kept a straight face at first, but after a while, the boy deliberately kissed her earlobe, and the girl smiled.

It seems like they were back then.

The time at that time was so happy and beautiful. He looked at the moon covered in gauze in the sky, blinded by the wind, but with a slight smile on his lips.

Han Yun once said that she loved to see him smile like this and hated him the most.

Because all his love and affection were given to that ordinary woman who was insignificant in her eyes.

Han Yun was born into a noble family and had a good family background. After graduating as an overseas student, she had to be taken care of by her family at a young age. She had status, wealth and fame at her fingertips.

But she never understood that every person she looked down upon might be someone that others remembered in their dreams but did not dare to meet.

In fact, even in marriage, she only knows how to steal and force him to bow down. How can she consider others and understand the dignity and love of the person next to her?

After a hundred years of cultivation, we can sleep together.

In his previous life, he was really lonely.

On Friday, Xu Yanqing finished all his official duties, and Han Yun sent a message again, asking him to go back to his suburban villa on Saturday night.

On Sunday afternoon, we will set off together to meet the big shot in her family.

When Xu Yanqing got home from get off work, he realized that he had forgotten to open some windows before going out.

The heater was very hot, and I was sweating all over after walking around. When I returned to the apartment, it was only even hotter.

I simply took off my clothes and took a shower. After I came out, I realized that I had forgotten to bring a change of clothes.

The towels were washed yesterday, but they were still not dried in the washing machine.

Suddenly, he remembered that when they lived together, Xia Jinxian asked him to dry the clothes, but he would forget about it every time while reading, and then Xia Jinxian would silently do it by herself and clean up.

Later, he became busier and busier. Occasionally he would be at home and forget about reading, but she would never complain and just finish it silently.

How can I still hate you?

After so many years, Xu Yanqing only regretted why he believed her when she said let go. He thought that two people who loved her so deeply could forget each other and spend the rest of their lives with others.

He couldn't remember what was said at the moment of breaking up. It seemed like a long silence.

I have given her all the passion and love in my life, but then say that I don't love her or miss her. That is ultimately deceiving myself.

Blow-drying his hair, he didn’t even have a bath towel. If she were there, as long as he called, she would definitely bring him a clean bath towel.

In her eight years of marriage with Han Yun, except for the fact that she occasionally made some unpalatable food on a whim, which sent him to the emergency room in the middle of the night.

There was never a night when a light would be left in the room for him.

I changed into my pajamas, hung out the half-dried clothes in the washing machine, and then threw today's clothes into the washing machine.

In the past, he was relatively clean, but still not as good as her.

She is very gentle, and she is the perfect choice for a good wife. But now, she has become someone else's wife.

Xu Yanqing rubbed the center of his eyebrows and picked up a book, which was Mr. Zhou Ruchang's "New Evidence of the Dream of Red Mansions".

Once, when she couldn't sleep in the middle of the night, she cried while watching "Dream of Red Mansions".

So in order to coax her, he threw out a copy of "Houhei Xue" by Li Zongwu, thinking that this would make her less sensitive and delicate.

She read the first five pages for three days and then fell asleep from the book every day.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but laugh.

The washing machine beeped for a long time, and Xu Yanqing realized that the lid was not closed properly, and he had been waiting for a long time in vain.

I walked into the bathroom, closed the lid of the washing machine, and opened the curtains. On a starry night, the lights were dim.

The landline phone rang, and Xu Yanqing stepped out to answer it.

There are really not many people who still use landline phones at home, and he is one of them.

At that time, Topan Yijun told her that he had the landline phone number of this apartment.

He was also afraid that if something happened and she couldn't find him, at least this number would not change.

It's just that among all the harassing calls, there was never a call from her.

For this reason, he specially turned on the caller ID. At the beginning, he often checked to see if there were any calls starting with 021, but it turned out that there were no, never.

After they broke up, he could no longer call her on her cell phone. Perhaps she had put her on a blacklist that refused to answer calls.

She probably really hated him, so she gave up on their relationship and chose to compromise.

Just like at the beginning, he hated her so much, hated her cowardice, hated her retreat, hated her for giving up her love.

But after so many years, how can I still feel hatred? I just miss her, I miss her very much.

Xu Yanqing laughed at his pretentiousness and answered the phone. It was the editor of the publishing house who made an appointment with him.

The publishing house is going to recheck the two books he completed last time on the interpretation of future public policy orientations and the overview of the latest social development trends, and then they will type, print and publish them.

It was also during the past two years that he gradually revised and organized some of his previous manuscripts.

The first book is about the interpretation of the frontiers of economic reform. It has been listed as recommended books and teaching materials by many administrative schools and has printed 800,000 copies.

Since then, four more books on policy interpretation and development trends have been published, with print runs exceeding one million. Two of the books on policy interpretation have even become the bible for preparing for public examinations.

Anyway, when I had nothing to do, I wrote some articles on current affairs and published them in the People's Daily under a pseudonym. This interpretation of future public policy directions is also a collection of his columns.

I agreed on a time to go to Xincheng Cultural Building, hung up the phone, sat at my desk, and used my email to receive the formatted PDF file from the editor.

Unconsciously, she clicked on the column of starred emails, which contained all the emails he wrote to her after breaking up with her, but they were never sent.

Those first letters came every day, and there was reluctance and resentment between the lines.

It turned out that he also had times when he was so excited, and the feeling was really strange.

However, as time passed and the years turned, those thoughts faded away.

The last one was five years ago.

He couldn't help but wonder, had his love for her faded? After all, do you still love her?

The last time I went back to Shanghai, I wanted to see her so much, but I was afraid of seeing her, so I just asked the district leader accompanying me in the new district where she was now and how she was doing. Fortunately, the district leader didn't know her, but it was obvious that her unknown status must be because her situation was probably not much better, right?

And did she think of him later? Or have you really given up?

The prompt sound showed that the file had been downloaded. Xu Yanqing brought back his thoughts, closed the mailbox, collected the file, and imported it to the pad to browse.

Unknowingly, I watched it intently, flipping page after page. After reading it, I got up, only to find that it was already two o'clock in the morning. I fell asleep in a hurry and even forgot to eat dinner.

I woke up on Saturday morning feeling hungry.

If she were here, she would definitely talk about him and not take care of herself, but she would immediately help him make a bowl of noodles with two poached eggs. The noodles she made by herself tasted really good, just like my grandma back then. Just as delicious cooked.

That's the taste of home.

But, I can’t eat it anymore.

Before changing clothes and going out, I looked in the mirror. In the mirror, I don’t know when a gray hair started to appear.

Is this the only way this life can end?

He didn't know, and he didn't want to know.

There was an official reception today, so Xia Jinxian hurriedly put on light makeup and went out. He said that light makeup is the most basic respect for others in the workplace.

Just like he said, articles are the face of a department.

He taught her so much, but when she learned it, he had already exited her world.

The agency called to say that the previous tenant owed nine months' rent and had been evicted.

The agency boy flattered Xia Jinxian, but Xia Jinxian did not accept this trick.

Xia Jinxian said, "Several of my apartments are listed for rent with you. I'm generally easy to talk to, but the tenants of this apartment must be seen by me personally. If this happens again next time, I can only say sorry." . ”

The other agent knew he was in the wrong, but after all, salespeople are not only tough talkers, but also thick-skinned. After talking for a long time, he just wanted to keep this rental business.

It seems that the recent real estate off-season, business is not good, and even the small profits of renting a house cannot be lost.

Xia Jinxian hurried to receive him and was impatient to nag him. She just said, "It must be a family of three."

She always felt that the house he bought with only her name on it should live in a harmonious and happy family.

Just think of it as fulfilling their unfulfilled wish back then.

The AA's official car came to pick her up. Xia Jinxian put her parking permit in the front gear. The driver, Lao Zhang, was an acquaintance. She said hello and went to the last row of Coster.

As the car drove to the meeting point, she took the list and checked it. She had the phone number of every committee member, which was one of her many habits.

When she first came to the management committee, she was still an intern and didn’t understand anything.

On her first day at work, Xu Yanqing threw an address book to her and asked her not to do anything for the whole day. First, she entered the phone numbers of everyone in the address book into her phone, and she had to make notes by category.

I didn't finish entering the numbers until 8pm that day, and my hands were almost useless.

At the time, she thought it was a slap in the face from him, but later she realized what a good habit it was.

Colleague and friend Zhu Jiajia said to her, why is such a capable person so low-key?

We should fight for it, so that those who work hard can know what kind of people are real workers.

Xia Jinxian would laugh every time she saw Zhu Jiajia getting upset with Xia Jinxiu or Liu Cyndi and coming back to her to complain.

Zhu Jiajia would angrily poke her and say she was too disappointing.

However, all that Xu Yanqing taught her and helped her was in vain.

She didn't feel sorry for anyone except him.

Xia Jinxian checked the personnel at the assembly point, and the two committee members who were going to accompany the inspection today were not there.

One is Han Chu and the other is Li Dongyao.

Tsk, these two people have a certain fate with her.

Han Chu is one of the partners of the well-known law firm Tingtao Law Firm. He ranks second only to the founder Wu Tingtao in the law firm.

Wu Tingtao is the president of the National Lawyers Association, and although Han Chu is not as influential as Wu Tingtao, he is very influential in the social legal field and is also a member of the CPPCC.

Moreover, she also learned by chance that Han Chu was Han Yun's cousin and Xu Yanqing's brother-in-law.

I never expected that someone as arrogant and domineering as Han Yun would have such a gentle and gentle brother.

And my acquaintance with Han Chu was actually very accidental.

At that time, she was assigned to the Archives Bureau. In order to get a divorce, she chose to separate. She gritted her teeth and bought an apartment by herself, where she lived with her seriously ill mother.

Back then, because of that love, my career, love, and family ties were all lost.

In the end, her mother died of a serious illness and chose to commit suicide in order not to burden her.

That period was really the darkest moment in her life. She didn't understand why her mother was unwilling to resist her father for so many years.

Why can you turn a blind eye to your father's abuse.

Later, when I was sorting out my mother's belongings, I realized that because my mother had been there for so many years, there was someone in my heart that I couldn't let go of.

Therefore, she gave up love and herself.

At that time, she had many things she didn't understand.

How much she wanted to ask her deceased mother whether she regretted giving up that man or whether she could barely survive like her father.

How much she wanted to know how her mother spent the rest of her life, and whether she let go of that man when she was dying.

During that time she lived like a zombie.

Only her aunt came to see her occasionally. Finally, the aunt couldn't bear it anymore and asked her cousin to book a free flight and hotel for her to Japan.

Force her to go out and relax.

So I was forced to open my business, pretended to be happy, and went to Japan once. I was still in the circle of friends, posting in the circle of friends that only aunts, uncles and cousins ​​could see.

At that time, I also felt that it was better to do a complete show.

This trip allowed her to see many partners get along with each other.

Some couples are harmonious, while others quarrel frequently.

She was on the streets of Tokyo, standing at the intersection of Shinjuku, listening to "Goodbye Ni-Chome".

Amidst the falling snowflakes, she stretched out her hand under the dim light and listened to the sentence repeated in the earphones, "It turned out that I was living a very happy life, and I was the only one who didn't realize it. If I could forget my longing, my clothes would be thin as time passes..."

Holding a hand in her hand A pot of hot tea and a rice ball, playing a single song.

Each song sings about different people and their true feelings that cannot be shaken off.

On the plane back, she flipped through a copy of "Maslow's Humanistic Philosophy" that she randomly picked out from the pile of books left by Xu Yanqing.

The man sitting next to her looked at her and asked with a smile, "This book is quite boring, can you, a little girl, understand it?"

Xia Jinxian replied at that time, "I am not a little girl anymore, I am an old woman."

The man listened. laugh.

Two strange travelers actually talked about Maslow's needs theory.

Basic needs and special needs, self-actualization and transcendence.

The more we chatted, the more speculative it became.

The man said, "So, loving and being loved are the basis of self-confidence. If basic needs are lacking, then dignity and character will be gone."

Xia Jinxian recalled her when the people next to her looked at them like they were crazy . 's father.

Not being recognized by his grandparents, his father has always had a very low sense of morality and self-esteem. Therefore, he has never been loved, so how can he love his mother and her?

At that moment, she slightly relieved her hatred for her father, because her father was also a victim and pathetic.

She said, "So, the reason why many people don't get what they want and are depressed and unhappy is because they have never been truly loved."

The man said, "I didn't expect that you look so young, but you have such a thorough philosophy of life."

In fact, How could it be so thorough? Only after falling in love with Xu Yanqing did I steal some of the wisdom of survival from him.

The long-term depression and unhappiness were diluted in such a conversation.

The man handed her a business card:

Han Chu, a partner of Tingtao Law Firm, a member of the Shanghai Municipal People's Political Consultative Conference, and a director of a non-governmental charity organization...

Han Chu said, "I have a non-governmental organization here, and I often organize book clubs. , you are welcome to participate."

At that time, the name Han Chu seemed familiar. Later, when I was browsing the books left by Xu Yanqing, I accidentally found a book with the same business card.

That book was placed on the table by Xu Yanqing when she first came to work at the management committee. He used the business card as a bookmark.

The owner of the business card was Han Chu, who later became his brother-in-law.

I didn’t expect the world to be so small.

Anyway, she no longer had any contact with Xu Yanqing. Naturally, Xia Jinxian became a member of the reading club and often participated in their reading clubs. Occasionally, they would go outing, hiking, and occasionally do charity work.

When life is enriched, the sadness of spring and autumn is much less.

Han Chu answered the phone and said with a smile, "Xiaoxia, I'll be there soon. There's still another intersection. Wait a moment."

Xia Jinxian agreed to call Li Dongyao again, busy signal.

This actually made Xia Jinxian relieved. She was really afraid that Li Dongyao would pick up the phone, but she didn't know how to talk to him.
