Chapter 33

It was another cloudy day, and the sky was so dim that it seemed to cover a curtain. From morning to noon, the rain was about to fall, forming a dark patch above the clouds, and the ground was so wet that it seemed like water could be squeezed out.

Fei Nanzhou endured the discomfort of a splitting headache, propped up half of his body, and sat on the edge of the bed looking out the window for a long time until Hu Qishan called and said that his arrangement was finalized, but there were two places. , let him choose by himself, and analyzed the pros and cons for him.

"Hey - Nanzhou, are you listening to me?" Hu Qishan paused, seemed to check his phone to make sure the signal was still on, and muttered something before Fei Nanzhou found his voice, "I I heard it, okay, thank you, Uncle Hu."

Hu Qishan was a good person and noticed his abnormality: "Is something wrong?"

Fei Nanzhou smiled: "It's okay."

Hu Qishan paused and didn't ask any more questions. He said: "The weather has gotten worse recently. Please pay attention to your health. I will contact you if there is any progress."

"Okay."

After hanging up the phone, he sat for a while, got up, put on a coat, and went to the kitchen to pour himself a glass of water. drink.

He didn't eat anything all morning and was a little hungry. He opened the refrigerator and planned to cook something, but he found that the refrigerator was empty and there was nothing.

He raised the corners of his lips, suddenly feeling very ironic.

When we were together before, it was always the elder brother and the younger brother. Even though I knew he didn't cook much, I bought everything and prepared it for him. They were sorted into different categories and placed on each shelf. I also carefully put on the refrigerator magnet and wrote something on it. It’s clear where things are placed.

Now that I'm gone, there's no need to pretend anymore.

So does he. Why can't he live on his own without her?

What's there to lose?

After touching the refrigerator door, he went to the supermarket and bought something casually.

However, when he was passing by the aquatic area and saw the lively fresh fish in the pond, he suddenly remembered that she likes to eat this kind of big and fat white fish, which requires a lot of chili peppers. He cannot eat spicy food and always dislikes this dish. , she also deliberately stuffed it into his mouth to tease him...

Her traces were all over every corner of his life, following her like a shadow, and she didn't need to think about it deliberately, but she still lingered.

It's been a week since she left, but it seems like yesterday.

This feeling made Fei Nanzhou very uncomfortable.

I still remember that the day she left, she said she would move out when she got back. He said coldly that she could stay for two more days. She would have to leave sooner or later anyway, so it didn't matter if she stayed for two more days, right?

Xu Zhi was silent for a while and said that she should move when she got back and try not to cause any trouble to him.

It's not appropriate to live together again after we are separated.

Women - they can fall out of love faster than turning the pages of a book. They look gentle and soft, but they are actually more cruel than anyone else.

Fei Nanzhou chuckled silently.

He had a meeting in the afternoon, and when he returned, Shen Qian's call happened to come over.

Unlocking the phone with a fingerprint in one hand, he picked up the phone with the other: "Hello."

Shen Qian seemed to hesitate for a moment and asked him if he wanted to continue the afternoon meeting.

"Are you showing off your brain? It's a good meeting, why don't you have it?" His cynicism was particularly clear in the quiet corridor.

Shen Qian was silent, as if he didn't hear.

Fei Nanzhou also had a cold face, calmed his expression, and asked him to speak directly.

Shen Qian then spoke hesitantly and asked tactfully if he was feeling uncomfortable and if he wanted to rest for two days.

"I'm fine. What's the problem? The afternoon meeting will continue." He pushed the door open and hung up the phone neatly.

The room was still the same room, empty, and seemed particularly empty because there wasn't much furniture.

He stood at the door and looked in. He had never thought that a house of more than 300 square meters was that big before, but now he had such a feeling inexplicably.

Especially the long arc-shaped corridor, with the entire floor-to-ceiling glass. Standing there and looking down, the vehicles under your feet are as small as neatly arranged matchboxes, and even high-speed driving becomes as slow as creeping.

Xu Zhi often liked to stand there with bare feet and look down, but she was too scared to look directly. She liked to lie on his chest like a boneless person and peek down from time to time, saying that it was so high here.

Just such a person, pretentious and arrogant... What is there to cherish?

He stood for a while and went to the bathroom to take a shower. He accidentally caught a glimpse of a bottle of milky white facial cleanser on the sink and paused.

It belonged to her, but she didn't take it with other things. Maybe she forgot it.

He picked it up casually and planned to throw it into the trash can, but stopped and put it back on the sink, feeling that there was no need to bother with the bottle of facial cleanser.

After taking a shower, Fei Nanzhou went to the cloakroom to change into a more formal suit and tie his tie in front of the mirror.

I chose a dark purple one at first. I thought it was not particularly solemn, so I opened the drawer again.

It turned out that there was a whole row of bright colors such as burgundy, purple stripes, and blue stripes.

She picked these for him to flatter him, and arbitrarily packed up all his previous ties and threw them into the corner drawer.

He was willful, unruly, and unreasonable, but he still got used to it so much that he almost lost his mind.

Now that I think about it, I feel sick.

He dug out the ties from several drawers and threw them into the clothes basket, and asked the cleaning lady to come and clean them up.

-The

afternoon meeting was just a regular meeting, and no one expected Fei Nanzhou to attend. Although he didn't express any opinions during the whole process and just sat in the back row and listened indifferently, the atmosphere in the conference hall was still very strange.

After it was over, Fei Nanzhou returned to the office.

After about a few minutes, Shen Qian came over and knocked on his door.

"Please come in."

Shen Qian then pushed the door open, flipped through the documents in his hand, looked at him, and spoke more cautiously than usual: "This is what was sent from the CDC about the acquisition process of Company Y."

Feinan Zhou raised his hand to take it, turned it over for a while, circled two of the places with a pen and handed it back to him, telling him that the data in these two places was wrong and exceeded the initial budget. He would find an opportunity to talk to them again. talk.

"What that means is that this number is unlikely to be obtained. Although Company Y is not well managed, its technological level is still at the forefront of the industry. The patents listed below are far ahead of similar competing products and have a market share It's not bad. If it's too late and is acquired by another company..."

"Who in the market can afford this price? Moreover, CDC is expanding this field recently, and they already have Project B. We are in a hurry."

"I understand. I will ask Yao Ping to talk to them again and try to get the budget down." After Shen Qian finished speaking, he still looked at him and did not leave.

Fei Nanzhou screwed up the pen and met his gaze: "Is there anything else?"

Shen Qian: "...are you okay?"

Fei Nanzhou: "What can happen to me?"

Shen Qian looked at him for a while. Son, he started to speak but stopped: "Forget it, pretend I didn't say it."

He was about to leave, but Fei Nanzhou called out to him again: "Stop."

Shen Qian had no choice but to turn back.

Fei Nanzhou looked indifferent: "What do you mean?"

Shen Qian: "It doesn't mean anything."

Fei Nanzhou: "Explain it to me clearly."

Shen Qian raised his head and looked at him, and under his sharp gaze he had to admit: " Are you worried?"

Fei Nanzhou sneered, loosened his tie and left his seat: "What can I be worried about?"

Shen Qian wanted to say something to Xu Zhi, but he didn't dare to say it, so he could only say: " I see that you are not in good spirits. Have you not slept well in the past two days?"

Fei Nanzhou sneered silently, took off his coat and walked past him out the door.

Shen Qian didn't dare to get into trouble again and hurriedly followed him to report.

The two of them went down the escalator together. Shen Qian briefly reviewed his schedule for tomorrow and asked what he meant.

I have pushed everything that can be pushed. Naturally, what I tell him is not easy to push or has extremely high value.

Fei Nanzhou thought for a while: "Forget about the Wansong project, there is nothing to talk about. You push it for me. I will go to Jiangzhou tomorrow."

"Okay, I will arrange a flight for you."

"The work here It would be better to hand over the matter as soon as possible," Fei Nanzhou said again.

Shen Qian heard the implication: "Has the order been issued?"

Fei Nanzhou kept his eyes straight: "Not yet, but it should be soon."

Some words don't need to be said too clearly. Shen Qian understood: "I know, I will As soon as possible."

-

Fei Nanzhou has been to Jiangzhou once before, with Lu Yanshen.

It was still an ordinary third-tier city at that time, but now it is well developed and the landmark buildings have also changed their appearance.

The overpass is full of traffic, and the traffic lights change in a way that confuses people's eyes.

"Mr. Fei, have you never been to Jiangzhou before? Our tourism industry in Jiangzhou is still very developed, and the scenery is not bad. There is a wetland park over there..." The cooperative company sent a vice president named Liu Ming. Along the way, he was very attentive and kept introducing the local customs and customs of Jiangzhou to him. He also wanted to take him shopping and invite him to taste the local specialties here, which made him dumbfounded.

"You can try the local specialties, but you don't have to go shopping." Fei Nanzhou declined with a smile.

"That's right. Mr. Fei was so tired of traveling and traveling because I was not thinking clearly. Then you can have a good rest in the afternoon and I will come visit you another day." Liu Ming quickly changed his tone and asked the driver to drive to the hotel.

When they arrived at the hotel, Fei Nanzhou refused his offer to send him upstairs again and said, "See you later."

Liu Ming still had some sense and could tell that he was in a bad mood, so he didn't dare to bother him anymore: "Then Have a good rest."

Fei Nanzhou insisted on giving him two boxes of souvenirs, so he had no choice but to let Shen Qian accept them.

As soon as they left, Fei Nanzhou said, "You can take it back and eat it."

Shen Qian opened it and looked at it. It was some shortbread or something like that: "You really don't want it? It's a local specialty."

Fei Nanzhou tried his best to suppress the twitching corners of his mouth: "I don't eat this kind of oily and sweet food."

Shen Qian smiled and accepted it happily, planning to take it back to his family.

Fei Nanzhou lived in the presidential suite on the top floor, a large flat floor of more than 300 square meters. It was a little empty when the door opened.

The housekeeper explained to him the use of various facilities in the house with all his heart, which made his head hurt.

Fei Nanzhou dismissed the person casually and closed the door behind his back.

The world finally became quiet.

He originally wanted to take a look at the information about the construction of the science and technology base, but he couldn't calm down, and later he didn't force himself anymore.

He took off his coat and hung it in the dressing area. He went to the bathroom to take a shower and called for room service when he came out.

Not long after, the life butler brought champagne and strawberries.

Fei Nanzhou drank by himself for a while, and when he was a little tipsy, he opened his circle of friends.

This was a subconscious action. In fact, he didn't think about anything or anyone at that time.

But in the dead of night, when I was a little drunk, I subconsciously did what I did.

He has many friends, but few acquaintances on his personal account.

The account I opened happened to be the most secretive one, with only a few people on it.

Xie Chengan's latest updates in the circle of friends are basically all shared by Xie Chengan. They are either various parties or sports such as racing and diving. He calls out to friends with great enthusiasm. Just looking at the neatly arranged nine-square photo makes it feel noisy.

Fei Nanzhou frowned and scrolled down. Then he lost patience and exited to find the familiar avatar accurately - clicked in.

Xu Zhi's profile picture is a selfie of her, but it's not her face, but her back.

Half of her shiny and beautiful shoulders were white as snow in the sunlight, and her one-shoulder sweater slid all the way down to her shoulders.

Slender white hands rested on her shoulders, painted with bright red nail polish.

She doesn't usually apply it much, she only applies it for taking pictures.

Don't tell me, it's quite tempting.

At least a straight man like Fei Nanzhou has little resistance.

She was thoughtful and pretty. She used to wear sexy underwear and make video calls to him in the middle of the night when she was on a business trip.

He was blind, and only then would he feel that she was innocent.

Xu Zhi's circle of friends is very clean, and the latest updates were from five days ago.

The address is shown to be on the Zhongguancun side.

There are two photos, one is a photo of her and her friends, and the other is a dining table with two cups of coffee.

The girl next to her looked familiar. He had seen her once, but he forgot her name. She seemed to be some kind of little star.

Fei Nanzhou's eyes flashed slightly, he saved the photo and called Shen Qian.

"Shen Qian, check someone out for me." He circled the girl next to her and sent the photo.
