Chapter 20

When things go wrong, there must be a monster. She was somewhat wary of this invitation, but she couldn't refuse it directly: "Okay then."

Xu Zhi asked again, "Where are you?"

Fei Nanzhou said, "Look behind you."

She turned around and found that Fei Nanzhou was not far behind her.

He was still wearing the clothes he had just worn in the company, but he took off his coat and put it on his arm, revealing a neat and neat suit of the same color underneath. His legs were slender, and his hair was combed back, revealing a pair of deep, dark eyes.

He was well-dressed as usual, but it didn't look like he had been deliberately dressed. He was quite casual, without a tie.

"Mr. Fei, when did you come?" Xu Zhi was surprised that she didn't hear his footsteps.

Fei Nanzhou didn't answer her question immediately, but lowered his eyes and looked at her carefully with a look that she didn't quite understand, as if he was identifying and confirming something.

This kind of look is very much like two friends who haven't seen each other for a long time are reunited to confirm whether the other person is okay.

Xu Zhi felt a little uneasy, wondering if he had said the wrong thing again.

"Let's go." Fei Nanzhou took the lead in taking the step without greeting her.

Xu Zhi didn't know what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd, so he had to follow him.

He didn't say anything to her along the way. Xu Zhi looked up occasionally. His expression was calm, his eyebrows were calm, as if he was thinking, and his steps were very slow.

She was originally full of words, but she seemed to be infected by his calm temperament, and her heart calmed down.

"What do you want to eat?" He lowered his head and asked her.

Xu Zhi rarely saw him talking to her in such a gentle tone, and she couldn't get used to it for a while.

She didn't speak, and he didn't rush her, but waited patiently.

Xu Zhi had no choice but to say: "Dandan noodles."

They crossed the sidewalk and found a noodle restaurant in the snack street across the road and sat down.

This shop is very small, not conspicuous among the many fly restaurants on the street, and its entrance is quite deserted.

After the two sat down, the atmosphere became even stranger.

When she was free above, Xu Zhi couldn't help but look at him.

Fei Nanzhou seemed to have something on his mind. Although his expression was calm, the expression between his brows was different from usual.

Xu Zhi found that he would be especially quiet when he was worried.

Although he doesn't talk much at ordinary times, after getting along with him for a long time, it is easy to tell the difference between the two states.

After the noodles arrived, Xu Zhi found that there was a layer of coriander sprinkled on the noodles, and she frowned: "Boss, I said I don't want coriander."

The boss slapped his head and apologized to her, saying that he was busy and forgot.

"It doesn't matter, just give me a bowl and we can pick it out ourselves," Fei Nanzhou said.

The boss felt amnesty and went to get a bowl.

Then, Xu Zhi watched in amazement as the arrogant man opposite him slowly picked out the coriander on her face one by one.

Her eyelids kept twitching, and she couldn't figure out the source of this uneasiness.

But in fact, when she thought back carefully later, she had already felt the signs, but was afraid to admit it.

After he picked out all the coriander for her, he gently raised his wrist and pushed the bowl in front of her.

Xu Zhi thanked her and ate in silence.

This meal was extremely weird.

Xu Zhi didn't even dare to look at him, she just felt that his deep and searching eyes fell right on her face.

After a meal, she seemed to be exhausted, with cold sweat covering her back.

She knew she couldn't stay any longer, so she stood up and said, "I have to go back."

"No hurry, I'll take you there." He went to the counter to pay.

When he came back, his eyes were still on her face.

But she looked away and clenched her hands subconsciously.

The road back was long and torturous, from dusk to when the lights came on, the bright street scene outside the window was so unreal when we were retreating at such a fast speed.

Fei Nanzhou asked her if it was cold. She said she wasn't cold, so he asked the driver to turn on the heater.

Then, Fei Nanzhou asked her how she had been over the years.

Xu Zhi trembled like chaff.

After an unknown length of silence, he finally turned to look at her. The emotions in his eyes were so complicated that she didn't dare to look directly at him.

At first there was a bit of questioning, but later under her evasive gaze, his eyes gradually softened, showing annoyance, regret, a wry smile, and self-deprecation.

At that moment, Xu Zhi felt that he was about to break.

She didn't dare to stay any longer. Almost as soon as the car stopped, she opened the door violently and ran upstairs as if to escape.

But she knew that he had been watching her from behind.

-Xu

Zhi couldn't sleep well for several days, and the development of things was somewhat beyond her control.

But now she is no longer free like she was when she was in Walker. She can't walk around with her hands on her butt, and she still has money in Kunda, so she can't run away.

Moreover, a monk who can run away cannot run away from the temple. Who is Fei Nanzhou? She doubted nothing but his energy.

As long as she was still messing around in this piece of land, he would always find a way to get her out.

In fact, she was also surprised why he didn't tell her what he said that day.

Do you feel embarrassed too?

Xu Zhi inexplicably remembered what happened in the past few days. At first glance, it seemed strange and even made her scalp numb, but it was already like that. It was difficult to forget it.

There will be a summit forum in two days. Xu Zhi and his colleague Xia Tong went to City A together. Unexpectedly, they met an acquaintance when they entered the venue.

"Mr. Fei." Xia Tong greeted him politely, his tone unavoidably a little unstable and excited.

"Hello." Fei Nanzhou was looking at the schedule. Hearing this, he raised his head and looked towards them. His eyes only paused on her for a moment, and then he smiled, like a ray of sunshine shining through the clouds through the haze.

He looks like a cheerful man when he smiles, with thick eyebrows and good looks, a typical Beijing man, completely different from his arrogant and cold look when he doesn't smile.

He seemed to be waiting for someone. After a while, he looked at his watch, then picked up his suit and strode out of his seat.

Looking from a distance, he and his personal secretary were already talking to a few plainclothes people, who looked like people from the city government. Xu Zhi thought of the news he heard recently in the industry, saying that CITIC was going to cooperate with the government here to build a biomedical base. As a powerful source of external capital, CITIC was naturally very important.

He was also calm and composed when facing the provincial leaders, neither humble nor arrogant. He was obviously used to such scenes.

Xia Tong quietly tugged on her sleeve and whispered: "Our investors are quite kind."

Xu Zhi only smiled and did not answer.

Another colleague Feng Rou, who had been silent all the time, said: "It looks like a big shark at first glance."

"What is a 'big shark'?" I don't understand.

Feng Rou explained her doubts in an experienced tone: "He looks dignified and polite, and seems to be quite kind, but he treats others clearly, works efficiently, and is cold and arrogant at heart. There is no extra sympathy. This kind of man's vision They are both very tall, very aggressive, and like to dominate, conquer, and control others. Unless he is interested in you, it will be difficult for him to get started." He glanced at her again, "So don't be a nymphomaniac."

"I don't think so . ? "

"You almost had your eyes glued to me just now. I'm embarrassed for you. You don't know what to think of our Kangda employees."

"How could I..."

Xu Zhi listened to the story, but didn't understand at all. I didn't feel relaxed either.

After returning to Beijing, the weather dropped sharply, and she quickly took out all the sweaters and coats in the closet.

There was a party on Sunday night. It was a small class reunion.

Xu Zhi originally didn't want to go, but Shang Xiuping specially invited her, so she had no choice but to go.

The place is in a private villa on the east bank of the Wenyu River.

The lobby on the second floor is connected to the terrace. When the door is opened, there is a raised platform. Under the night, the dark blue swimming pool is sparkling, with shallow ripples in the breeze.

This kind of gathering has a small circle, including marginalized people such as Xu Zhi, and naturally there are also popular people, such as Fei Nancy and Gu Ya.

"Why is she here?" The voice was not loud, but he did not deliberately avoid it.

It was a girl Xu Zhi was not familiar with at all.

"Who knows, ask Senior Brother Shang, why do you have to call her?"

"I heard that she recently set up some kind of mechanical technology company with Senior Brother Shang. Is it true? Where did she get the money?"

"It must be Shang. Shuhei is out. However, she looks like this and her legs are so

beautiful." "She is still so beautiful that even men can't control her. Why doesn't she go into the entertainment industry and make millions easily?

"You men are just superficial, you only care about your face!" said angrily, "What's so good about looking like a vixen?"

"You think it's easy to get along in the entertainment industry, what's the use? " No resources, what the heck?"

Xu Zhi asked the passing waiter for a glass of lime juice, got up and left his seat.

She didn't want to be here anymore.

A figure flashed beside her, catching her off guard.

There was only a "plop" sound, and a large splash of water splashed on the surface of the pool.

"Ah, I didn't mean it." The person who hit someone covered his mouth, looking at a loss. But if you look closely, there are more elements of schadenfreude.

A bunch of little sisters around her were still laughing and joking, saying, "Why don't you go down and fish the person out in case he doesn't know how to swim?"

Tang Ling was not afraid at all and continued to smile: "No, no, how deep is this pool?"

After speaking, she looked at Gu Ya and Fei Nanxi, and the three of them laughed in unison.

But, after laughing for a while, I stopped laughing.

The water gradually subsided, but no one came up.

The three of them looked at each other, and the others also noticed the movement here and looked over subconsciously.

"Is something really going to happen?"

At this moment, an even louder sound exploded on the surface of the pool. A figure jumped into the water without hesitation, and quickly dived towards the other side from the entrance to the terrace. The shape is strong and strong, and the speed is staggering. It sinks to the bottom of the water in just an instant.

This pool doesn't look very deep, but it's actually two or three meters long, and gradually deepens from the terrace to the north. You can dive in in one breath without stopping or taking a breath. Your physical fitness and explosive power are really amazing.

Many people gradually gathered around the pool.

After a while, a person suddenly appeared on the surface of the pool. He shook the water droplets from his hair and swam toward the shore with the person in his arms.

Recognizing the rescuer, Chibian quickly cleared a large area to make room for him.

Fei Nanzhou carried the woman to the shore while being wet, laid her flat on the ground, and started cardiopulmonary resuscitation and artificial respiration on her without any hesitation.

Xu Zhi's face was pale, and she felt sour and painful in her nasal cavity, as if she was about to suffocate. She didn't know how long it took before she spit out a large amount of water.

"Okay, okay, just spit it out and it'll be fine." Someone in the crowd said, "Hurry up and hug him in. Don't catch a cold in such a cold weather."

Fei Nanzhou picked him up without saying a word, just , turned around and looked sharply at Feinnanxi and the others. In rage, his handsome face was slightly distorted.

If he hadn't rushed to hug the person in, at that moment, Feinxi felt that he might beat himself to death.

The most frightened person was Tang Ling, who was pushing someone, and her calves swayed unconsciously.

After everyone else had entered the room for a long time, she quietly pushed Fei Nanxi: "What is the relationship between Xu Zhi and your elder brother? Did I get into trouble?"

"How do I know?!" Fei Nanxi was annoyed and panicked. , shook her away violently.
