Chapter 4

The appointed time soon arrived.

Saturday, 3pm.

That day he asked her to have coffee in Haidian. It was a garden restaurant with a very quiet environment. The sunlight filtered through the lush branches and leaves and fell faintly on the wooden table, filtering out the bright spots, which made people feel happy.

The mocha in the porcelain cup exudes the unique fragrance of coffee and the burnt aroma of chocolate.

Xu Zhi stirred it gently with a small spoon for a while, took a sip, and his eyes brightened slightly.

This store is located in a curved area on the corner of the street. It is a prime location and is very famous in the neighborhood. It is said that it was opened by a Chinese-American. She had been here once before, and it was a membership-only restaurant that didn't accept outsiders. She couldn't get a reservation at all, and it was basically full.

But today the store was empty, with no customers except them.

Her suspicious eyes fell on the person opposite.

I have to say that this man is very good at what he does, and he picked the time just right. People feel sleepy when they wake up in the morning, and it is working time for most people, so they are easily nervous. Two or three o'clock in the afternoon is the most comfortable and lazy time of the day, which invisibly reduces the confrontational atmosphere between the two.

He was also dressed very casually today, with a sweater underneath his light brown coat and a white scarf tied around his neck. He had the air of a retro gentleman from the last century. He looked elegant and easy-going, not as aggressive as he was at work. .

There was only a cup of clear coffee in front of him, and you could guess that it tasted as bland as ash water without drinking it.

She wrinkled her delicate nose and cursed in her heart.

Fei Nanzhou took in all her little moves, smiled silently, and pushed a small plate filled with snacks in front of her: "The scones in this store are good, Miss Xu, try them."

Of course Xu Zhi knew that he It's definitely not as simple as making a coffee date with him, but this man has always been calm, his expression and speech are calm, and there is no clue to the depth.

Instead, she became a little out of breath within a few minutes of sitting down.

Seeing that she didn't move for a long time, Fei Nanzhou smiled and said, "Don't you like scones?" He called the waiter and asked him to serve a portion of all the snacks here.

"No, this is just fine." Xu Zhi picked up a piece and stuffed it into his mouth.

Although this thing was not big, it was a bit difficult to stuff it all in, and her face turned a little red.

Fei Nanzhou laughed and poured her a glass of water: "Slow down."

Xu Zhi didn't take it and just swallowed the snack silently.

But it still tastes tasteless in the mouth.

In fact, she couldn't tell what she was feeling wronged about, as this would be too pretentious.

It's just that he was too good to me when he was a child, but now the gap is too big.

He doted on her very much when he was a child, and would not touch her even if she touched her. He could teach her a lesson, but if others touched her even a finger, it would be the end of the world. The little boy at the same table who pulled her pigtails changed classes the next day, and also threw caterpillars into her drawer to scare her. Later, the whole school announced the loudspeaker and apologized to her in tears... There were too many to remember. .

Fei Nanzhou is a very cold person, but he is as hot as a star to the people he cares about.

However, her current identity is not his "person", but the other end of the line. Naturally, she cannot expect him to be good to her.

But that doesn't mean she can accept his neglect and contempt.

She obviously did nothing wrong in this matter.

Finally, Xu Zhi lost her temper and spoke first: "What did Mr. Fei want to talk to me about?"

Fei Nanzhou smiled, and calmly picked up the cup and took a sip: "I do have a small matter that I want to ask of Miss Xu. "

If you have anything to say, just say it." Xu Zhi is not a person who likes to beat around the bush.

Moreover, you actually knew why he was looking for me without asking.

"My roommate is young and not sensible. As an elder brother, I am also responsible for my poor discipline in what happened before. I hereby solemnly apologize to Miss Xu. I hope you will not remember the villain's fault."

Xu Zhi pursed her lips.

Fei Nanzhou glanced at her and continued: "Compensation and apology are all necessary. If Miss Xu needs anything, just ask."

This sounds very ironic, but this person has a way of making such high-sounding words So nicely said.

If she is unwilling to reconcile, will he beat her?

Xu Zhi said sarcastically: "Can you do whatever is asked of you?"

A smile appeared on his brows, and his tone was calm: "To be honest, as long as you speak in this three-thirds of an acre of land in Beijing, if you ask , No matter what, I will definitely——" He paused here and didn't say too much. He just smiled and said, "I will try my best to do it for you."

Xu Zhi felt a shiver in his heart and couldn't help but raise his head.

Looking from her perspective, the man lowered his eyes slightly and looked calm. He had a pair of big hands with clear joints. His index finger naturally hooked the handle of the cup, and his thumb rested on the rim of the cup. He looked indescribably noble and calm.

Xu Zhi knew that his confidence was not without purpose, he really had the ability.

Not to mention the background of his grandfather and father, his mother's family has never been short of money since the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It is a well-known industrial family in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, with deep roots, and his own network of relationships spans both business and government circles. , well-connected, and anyone with some knowledge in the circle is willing to give him face.

How could it be difficult for her to ask a little girl?

But no matter how nice he is, the purpose is just to shut up Fei Nanxi.

Xu Zhi felt unspeakably uncomfortable and couldn't help but said, "You can't afford what I want."

"You might as well tell me." He smiled, put down the coffee cup and looked at her.

There was clearly a bit of ridicule in that look, but also a bit of reluctance to care. After all, she was just a child in his eyes.

Xu Zhi was indescribably embarrassed and said without hesitation: "How about you sacrificing your appearance?"

Fei Nanzhou paused slightly, and even Shen Qian who was standing aside looked at her in shock.

Fei Nanzhou is naturally very good-looking, but the aura he carries and the benefits he brings often make people ignore his appearance.

Even if a woman falls in love with him, she is just trying to flatter him. Who dares to use such an insulting tone? Tired of living?

Unexpectedly, Fei Nanzhou was not angry. He just made a fist with one hand and gently pressed it against his chin, and said half-jokingly: "That's not okay. I'm too embarrassed to be a duck for such a thing. If the word spreads, I will Where should I put my son?"

After saying this, he turned into Xu Zhi in embarrassment.

Her face was as red as blood, and she also understood that she had made some mistakes in her words. But he couldn't bring himself to apologize at this time, so he stubbornly turned his head away.

Fei Nanzhou didn't care, and his expression returned to normal: "I didn't hear you, little girl, think about it again, and call me when you think about it."

He had another meeting in the afternoon, and he wanted to talk to an important person in the provincial department. He left a business card and left.

-Xu

Zhi felt a little regretful after this incident. Her arms couldn't twist her thighs. What if he retaliates against her? Then I thought he might not be that kind of person.

After a few days, everything was calm and nothing happened, and she felt a little relieved.

Who knows, something will happen next Wednesday night.

My mother, Zhou Chunfang, called her home, her voice cautious, and asked her if she had offended someone outside, and that her father's goods suddenly stopped being wanted by others, and so on and so forth. Her words were unclear. Before she could finish her words, her phone was snatched away by Xu Dahai, who scolded her angrily: "You damn girl, what did you do over there..."

He covered his head and face . Just a scolding, Xu Zhi's fingers clenched tightly on the phone.

The days when she was a child in the Fei family were the happiest times in her life, and it had nothing to do with the favorable material conditions.

His mother Yao Yanlan loved her in every possible way. No matter how busy she was, she would always find time to spend time with her. When she was on a business trip abroad, she would remember to make video calls to her and tell her to drink milk every night before going to bed. There are always beautiful clothes in her wardrobe. Even if she changes them every week, she can never wear them all. As long as she likes it, she will pick all the stars in the sky for her...

Fei Nanzhou is indulgent in her kindness without any bottom line. When she went out to eat with him, the waiter accidentally put coriander in her bowl. She was angry and insisted on him choosing it for her. It was obviously something that could be solved by changing the bowl, but her temper got worse and she insisted. He was willing to pick them one by one...

After returning to the Xu family, she was forced to move to Lin City.

Naturally, the daughter who came back halfway had no feelings, not to mention that she already had a younger brother at home.

Xu's father is a typical male chauvinist and is very authoritative in the family. He does not allow her and Zhou Chunfang to speak out. One time, Xu Hao stole Xu's father's money to play games. When Xu Hao came back from get off work in the workshop, he found that the money was missing. He became furious and chased her around the house with a broom, claiming that she had stolen it. Zhou Chunfang wanted to step forward to stop her, but when she saw Xu Dahai's eyes that were scarlet and angry due to drinking, she immediately shrank in the corner and did not dare to move...

That time, she was beaten until her body was covered with bruises, and later she still The neighbor Aunt Zhang couldn't stand it and came over to say that they were too noisy and her child had to do homework. Could they be quieter? Xu Dahai didn't give up.

But even after learning that it was Xu Hao who took the money, Xu Dahai didn't say a word, so the matter could only be left alone.

As she got older, Xu Dahai hit her less frequently, but sometimes violence was still unavoidable. She could only be more cautious, study hard and not offend him.

Therefore, when she was in middle school, she was introverted and had few friends. Even her male classmates could avoid talking to her. Because once Xu Hao asked her at the dinner table if she was in love with a big mouth, Xu Dahai's eyes became obviously fierce and violent.

"What nonsense are you talking about?!" Xu Zhi quickly retorted.

"Don't lie, I passed by your school today and met Shen Xing. He told me that there are several boys in your class who like you." Xu Hao said proudly, reaching out and snatching the chicken wings from her hand.

"You've already eaten four, leave some for us." Zhou Chunfang said with a frown.

Xu Hao had already immersed himself in eating. After saying "Lulu Luuluo" three times, he dropped the bowl and chopsticks and slipped back into the room, leaving a pile of unpacked chicken bones on the table.

When Xu Zhi was at Fei's house, Yao Yanlan always taught her not to toss the dishes over when eating, and to put the bones and leftovers on the table into a bowl after eating. This is basic table manners.

None of this exists in the Xu family.

After Xu Hao and Xu Dahai finished eating, they threw away their bowls and chopsticks and went straight back to their rooms, leaving her and Zhou Chunfang to clean up.

"Go and do your homework, Mom will take care of it." Zhou Chunfang often said this.

She has some feelings for her, but the one she loves most in her heart is always her son Xu Hao. Her stationery bag was leftover from Xu Hao's use, and sometimes it even contained clothes. Fortunately, children's clothes were not obviously male or female.

After being admitted to university in Beijing, she could finally breathe the free air.

And, just thinking about breathing the same air as Yao Yanlan and Fei Nanzhou made her feel at ease and warm in her heart.

But why did things become like this?

In her memory, Fei Nanzhou was caring and polite to her, and he would never get angry in front of her.

In her heart, his image has always been very glorious.

Now I realize that it might just be an illusory dream in my childhood, which is gradually being torn apart at the moment.

On this side of the dream, they are completely different people.

-

The headquarters of CITIC Corporation in Beijing is under construction, not far from the International Trade Center. The location is very good. Before the car even approached the iron gate, he saw a light blue building standing under the bridge with heavy traffic. Xu Zhi couldn't help it when he arrived at the gate of the Wall Courtyard. As we went inside, a patrol sentry came over to question us.

She began to regret that she should have called him first. She was interrogated for a long time and registered before being allowed in. She felt aggrieved and angry.

After the call was dialed, and after listening to her questioning rhetoric, he pondered for a while and said kindly: "Wait a moment, I'm in a meeting now." Five minutes later, a female secretary came to pick her up. , cordially led her to a lounge upstairs, served her refreshments before leaving.

The lounge was quite empty and quiet, but the furnishings were in an unexpected Chinese style. She took a casual look and found that any of the furnishings might be antiques. She hurriedly sat down, not daring to touch them.

After drinking a cup of tea from hot to cold, the door was opened from the outside.

Xu Zhi raised his eyes and saw that Fei Nanzhou was not the only one who came in. There were several men in suits and leather shoes behind him. They seemed to be his subordinates. They looked very respectful. One of them was reporting something in a low voice. Suddenly he saw the room. Someone couldn't help but stop in surprise.

Fei Nanzhou followed his gaze towards the rest area, twitched the corners of his lips, and said calmly: "Continue."

The man was busy reporting to him, not daring to be distracted anymore.

Xu Zhi's head was buzzing, and he suddenly realized that this was not a lounge, but his office.

No wonder she has a strong personal style and some relatively luxurious private items, which look very valuable. Fortunately, she didn't touch them randomly.

After the report, several supervisor-like people bowed and retreated.

Fei Nanzhou went around to sit down behind the desk, opened a document, and ordered: "Close the door."

Xu Zhi thought he was calling her, and subconsciously walked to the door, only to see the supervisor looking at him in shock. She—both of them almost reached for the doorknob.

Xu Zhi felt that she was a bit of a loser like this, even though she didn't mean to do it, and she looked embarrassed.

However, Fei Nanzhou raised his head slightly at this moment and took in the whole scene. His expression was very thought-provoking.

Xu Zhi knew that the loser would not lose the battle, but she really couldn't control it and blushed in embarrassment.

Fei Nanzhou was quite a gentleman. He lowered his head and coughed, averting his eyes and not looking at her joke again.

He lowered his head and continued to sign the document, a silver pen in his hand, rustling the pages. It seems to be something more important, and he occasionally shows a thoughtful expression.

Xu Zhi waited there, wanting to speak several times but unable to interrupt his work.

However, he is indeed very busy, and his work is secondary. He will not take care of every detail, but daily communication and maintaining relationships with all walks of life are more important. He has a lot of problems.

Others think that people like them are easy to win, but this may not be the case. When Xu Zhi was young, it was rare to see him smiling freely. He was often worried and under great mental pressure.

Later, he chose to give up going north to the military region for this reason. He had to stay in Beijing to help his father.

Xu Zhi has known a long time ago that he is different from those second-generation dudes. He is not the kind of person who relies on the protection of his ancestors to enjoy happiness. What he wants is to be successful and famous and be looked up to by thousands of people. This desire drives him to keep moving forward.

After waiting for half an hour, Xu Zhi finally waited for him to finish his errands. The shredder was buzzing in the office. He lowered his head and screwed the pen cap back on.

Xu Zhi then spoke: "Mr. Fei."

Fei Nanzhou responded and looked at her with a smile.

Xu Zhi had been holding back her anger, but now she seemed to have lost her temper. The anger seemed to have been extinguished by the long wait.

Xu Zhi spoke with great frustration: "Isn't it too despicable of you to do this?"

In fact, Fei Nanzhou didn't know what happened when she came to see him, and she didn't explain it clearly on the phone, so she didn't There is nothing to say, I can only wait for her to continue.

Seeing that he was so calm, Xu Zhi felt a little nervous. She told him what happened at home again and repeated the accusation. She stared at him, waiting for him to give an explanation.

Fei Nanzhou finally figured out the whole story, frowned, and glanced at Shen Qian standing aside.

Shen Qian knew he was in the wrong, so he coughed and avoided his gaze.

He really didn't expect that the people under his command couldn't handle such a trivial matter.

Fei Nanzhou is not a person who dwells on the process. He is a results-oriented person, so he did not pursue Shen Qian's mistakes and just said: "Make Miss Xu a cup of tea."

Shen Qian hurriedly went to the rest area and poured tea for the two of them. Tea, then quit.

There were only two of them left in the huge office.

"Sit down, don't stand." Fei Nanzhou went to the built-in lounge. When he came out, he had a fruit plate in his hand and bent down to put it in front of her.

What dissatisfied her was that she also grabbed a handful of colorful candies inside, with two lollipops with bunny ears stuck on them. what? Coax a child? !

Xu Zhi looked at him and hesitated before sitting down.

The hair all over her body seemed to stand on end, ready to explode at the slightest moment, like some kind of cat that was ready to fight when it was in danger.

Fei Nanzhou felt funny, pressed his tie gently, and sat down opposite her.

He leaned back slightly and sat on the leather sofa, with his legs in trousers crossed and his fingers intertwined. He had a black watch on his wrist, which made him look very elegant and noble.

Xu Zhi, however, had no interest in appreciating it.

But now I couldn't raise my spirits anymore, I just felt very wronged.

For a moment, Fei Nanzhou thought she was about to cry.

He was silent for a moment, and the expression on his face became calmer: "Miss Xu, how about this, I promise you something, and you don't pursue this matter anymore. Let's each take a step back, and this matter will end here. Let's say goodbye. It's going on forever, it's going to make everyone look ugly."

"You're the one looking bad!" She whispered, still angry.

Fei Nanzhou almost burst out laughing, feeling quite helpless.

After a long stalemate, he shook his head helplessly. He really didn't have the time to spend with her, so he picked a white chocolate from the fruit plate and gave it to her: "It must be hard for you to work at Walker, right? I can write you a recommendation." Xin, tell me where you want to go."

Xu Zhi looked at him hesitantly.

The temptation is not small.

With his status, who wouldn't give up this face? It's like a meteoric rise.

Xu Zhi did not respond immediately, wondering whether his words were true or false.

She is not that noble, but she still wants to save face. The fact that he so blatantly proposed to give her a back door was tantamount to a slap in the face, and her face was burning.

She shook her head: "I don't want it. I did a good job at Walker."

Fei Nanzhou said good-naturedly: "Then just think that I owe Miss Xu a favor. How about it?"

Shen Qian, who came in again, heard this sentence He was stunned as he spoke, hesitantly holding the emergency document in his hand, and did not step forward immediately.

Fei Nanzhou raised his head and stretched out his hand towards him.

Shen Qian hurried forward and handed over the document.

Seeing that he was already looking at the documents with a solemn expression and seemed to be very busy, I guess he really didn't have the extra patience to spend time with her. Moreover, she came here mainly for family matters. In fact, she was at a disadvantage. , it should be settled as soon as possible.

"Well, you can't go back on your word." Xu Zhi said.

Fei Nanzhou looked up from the document, smiled and nodded.

Xu Zhi was about to leave, so he called her: "Wait a moment."

Xu Zhi turned around and saw him smiling slightly, standing up and handing the Bai Qiao in his hand to her.

His palms were very broad, and his fingers were long and well-defined, making the white chocolate in his palms look particularly small.

Xu Zhizhi hesitated for a while, then took it with a blushing face and said "thank you".

-

Shen Qian watched her leave. From being angry when he entered, to being comforted, and then leaving obediently, he couldn't help but smile as soon as the door closed: "This little girl is really cute. If I had known she was so easy to coax, I would have You can't do it..."

As soon as his eyes touched Fei Nanzhou's cold eyes, he immediately stood up straight: "I will never do it next time."

"I think you are too comfortable, and the embankment of a thousand miles is destroyed by the ant nest. Don't you understand? A small matter that can be resolved amicably, you have to go to war?"

Shen Qian hurriedly bowed his head and admitted his mistake, and did not forget to defend: "I didn't go to war, it just delayed the inspection for a few days and put some pressure on it. Fei

Nanzhou didn't want to hear about this anymore: "Where are the people from Huarui, are they here?"

"We're already waiting. Are you going to see them now?"

Fei Nanzhou nodded, stood up, unbuttoned, and went to change his clothes. The room changed into a suit.

This time, the people who came to report to Huarui were not only Huarui's chairman, Jiang Huan, but also Huarui's newly appointed CEO, Shen Cong.

After Fei Nanzhou entered the reception room, he first took a look at the senior professional manager whom Jiang Huan reportedly poached from Wanhua at a high price.

He is around thirty, with a calm and gentle temperament, like a piece of fine Hetian jade, and a bookish air between his brows.

"Mr. Fei." Shen Cong greeted him politely.

"Sit." After shaking hands, Fei Nanzhou smiled and raised his hand to invite them to take a seat.

After chatting for a while, I found out that he and Shen Cong had actually crossed paths.

However, he didn't point it out at that time. He just picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and moistened his throat: "I won't say more about the situation. We are all our own people. I have only one request. No matter what method you use, I just want Ji Honglang withdrew from the TFR competition."

Jiang Huan smiled humbly and said, "To be honest, even if he insists on getting involved, he doesn't have the strength to compete with us."

Fei Nanzhou twitched his lips and said with a smile . Be polite to him: "There is a fly flying next to your ear every day. Even if it doesn't hinder you, it's annoying. It might cause you some trouble from time to time. Do you still need me to teach you this?"

Jiang Huan said sarcastically, not even If she dared to argue with him, she had to lower her head and drink tea to cover up her embarrassment.

While speaking, Fei Nanzhou calmly looked at Shen Cong from the corner of his eye.

To his surprise, the new president was calm. Seeing that Shang Feng, who had single-handedly promoted him, was being scolded like this, he looked calm and had no intention of defending Jiang Huan.

Although he was respectful to himself, he was not afraid of him, which really impressed Fei Nanzhou.

"Mr. Shen, do you have any suggestions?"

Shen Cong then said with a smile: "Of course there are ways, but I'm not sure what Mr. Fei wants."

Fei Nanzhou also smiled: "How should I put it?"

"It's not harmful to your kindness. There are ways to fight that are not harmful to one's temper, but you have to shut them up completely, keep your distance, and be prepared for the opponent's last-ditch counterattack. It's hard to guarantee that your face will look a little ugly."

Fei Nanzhou looked at him with interest. , Shen Cong smiled leisurely and continued, "Of course, there is the last one."

"Tell me about it."

"That means he doesn't even have a chance to counterattack."

Fei Nanzhou smiled loudly and took the hand from Shen Qian. When he left his seat, he said to Shen Cong, "I quite like you."

-

Walker changed hands earlier than Xu Zhi imagined. This Friday, the board of directors held an emergency meeting to announce the bombshell news.

Xu Zhi did not choose to leave like Zhang Hua, Bai Yao, etc. Firstly, she was not a translation major at the beginning, and she only planned to use this as a springboard to enter management after graduation. Secondly, she had a weak foundation and no team of her own. Where could a polished commander go? No one is looking up to me, so I might as well stay where I am.

And the person who acquired Walker is Huarui, a well-known group company in the industry.

Huarui's predecessor was Huarui Real Estate, a large-scale comprehensive real estate development company listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. Within five years of its establishment, it had swept away other domestic real estate companies and began to gradually expand into finance, hotels, entertainment, and technology. , medical and other industries, the development momentum is staggering. They say that there are big bosses behind it, otherwise it would not be so strong. However, few people know who the big boss of Huarui is. There are rumors in the industry that he is the same person as the boss behind CITIC.

The regular meeting on Monday morning was held as usual. Everything was calm, and there was no sign that the management had been reshuffled. Until a man and a woman came in from the back door and chose two seats at the back to sit down.

Everyone looked at each other.

I never expected that the new boss Shen Cong, whom I met yesterday, would come, accompanied by a beautiful woman who looked like an executive.

Seeing everyone looking at him, he just nodded slightly and said to Yu Meng and Yue, the supervisor who was making the report, to continue.

The meeting then continued.

However, everyone couldn't help but be a little more solemn. No one knew what the new leader's temperament was like.

He didn't say a word during the meeting. He seemed to be really just here to observe, and he was pleasant throughout the whole process.

The atmosphere was much more solemn.

If you are not afraid of the leader’s opinions, you are afraid of not having any opinions at all.

A meeting ended in such a strange atmosphere, and Shen Cong left with people.

"Why did Mr. Fei leave Walker to you?" Linda followed suit on her high heels, holding a stack of documents to be approved in her hand.

"You think Walker is useless, don't you?" Shen Cong lowered his head to adjust the cuffs of his suit, and his steps were not slow at all.

"It's a pity to abandon it if it's tasteless. If you are now distracted from taking charge of this company, is it weakening your rights in Huarui? Is it Mr. Fei's intention or Jiang Huan's?" She paused at this point and did not continue. He just frowned.

Shen Cong smiled and said, "Jiang Huan is so afraid of Fei Nanzhou that he would never dare to betray him."

Linda was silent for a while, then said in a solemn tone: "...Mr. Fei doesn't trust you?"

"Not entirely." Controlling the Balance The way is always to do it, and - "Although Walker is just a translation company, Liu Kan has always been managed by Jiang Li. Jiang Li has connections all over Beijing and northern Beijing. These cases are not legal in name, but in fact they are connections. A link between all walks of life."

He took the document in her hand, accurately turned out a page from a pile of information, handed it back to her, and clicked on a list of names on it with a pen.

Linda's face changed slightly, she didn't expect that the connection between them was so deep.

"It would be a pity to lose such a strong network of relationships. Fei Nanzhou certainly won't let it go. It can be regarded as a waste. It can also be used to beat me and kill two birds with one stone." He smiled nonchalantly.

When the elevator arrived, Linda pressed the elevator button for him.

The door opened and Shen Cong stepped in indifferently.

"Wait a minute -" a pleasant female voice came from behind.

Linda's expression changed and she couldn't help but look back.

Shen Cong looked as usual and just reached out and pressed the button again.

The elevator door that was about to close opened again.

"Thank you, thank you." A young girl came in, smiled and nodded to them, but her smile froze as soon as it flashed. She paused for two seconds and put it away as if nothing had happened, and stood in the corner.

There seems to be the Chu-Han River boundary in the middle.

The numbers on the elevator display climbed up one by one, incredibly slowly.

Xu Zhi has never felt that time has been so painful.

Fortunately, the elevator finally arrived and Xu Zhi walked out quickly.

Linda raised her hand to close the door and hesitated: "Miss Xu is also in this company?" She knew that Shen Cong had a relationship after returning to China, but she was not familiar with Xu Zhi, and she only knew that she was much younger than Shen Cong.

Shen Cong, who was always resolute and resolute, was a little silent and did not answer this question.

Linda felt that the atmosphere was weird and avoided the topic: "Mr. Liu from China and Hong Kong has always wanted to ask you to meet. Do you want to reply to him?"

"Said I'm not available." Shen Cong concentrated for a moment, "He can't wait to get to this position just now. There will be a lot of trouble if people know that he and I have a personal relationship. Just

say that you just took over Walker and really can't spare the time.

It was holiday in the middle of the year, but the money deposited had not yet been settled. Xu Zhi got up early these days and checked text messages on her mobile phone to see if the accountant had transferred money to her.

After finally waiting for a week, she finally got it. She took a basket of fruits and went to Xicheng District to see the teacher.

The street is very quiet. The square buildings across the street look similar. They all have no signs. When you get closer, they are all surrounded by high walls, so you can't see clearly what's going on inside. She took out her mobile phone to navigate, but still couldn't find the place.

-The

car went north along Chang'an Avenue, and the scenery outside the window passed by like a slide show.

Fei Nanzhou leaned on the back seat and pressed his eyebrows: "Call Zhao Lu. The dinner tonight is cancelled. I'm going to see my dad."

Shen Qian turned back from the driver's seat and inquired briefly: "He's been busy lately and has foreign affairs. He I shouldn't have time to see you tonight."

Fei Nanzhou frowned.

"If it's not urgent, why don't you push it later?"

"Forget it, let's go later when we're free."

The car turned around in front, and he inadvertently looked up and caught a glimpse of a small figure.

I don’t know what I’m doing, I’m squatting on the side of the road playing with my phone, looking around with my round little head.

"Is it Miss Xu?" Shen Qian smiled and turned around to ask if he wanted to say hello.

Fei Nanzhou looked lazy and showed no reaction.

However, Shen Qian understood and slowly pulled over to the side of the car.

The light in front of her was suddenly blocked. Xu Zhi raised her head in confusion. When she saw a black car, she subconsciously stood up.

The car window lowered in front of her, and she met a pair of cold phoenix eyes.

"Mr. Fei, why are you here?" Xu Zhi said calmly.

Fei Nanzhou didn't answer, obviously feeling that the topic was very unproductive, and asked her instead: "What about you, what are you doing here?"

She hesitated for a moment when asked, and looked at him carefully, as if she found it difficult to speak.

Fei Nanzhou held back his laughter and did not expose her.

Xu Zhicai whispered: "I'm lost."

Seeing that he was still looking at her with a smile and no intention of leaving, an idea flashed in Xu Zhi's mind, and she came over and hurriedly went over to show him the address on her phone: "This Do you know this place?"

Fei Nanzhou glanced at it and pointed forward: "Turn around and go back to the west. You are going in the wrong direction."

"... Oh," he said in an uncertain tone.

He looked at her: "Do you understand?"

Xu Zhi's face turned red.

He lowered his head and took out a pen from his briefcase, but hesitated when he started writing.

At that moment he was going to find another piece of paper, but Xu Zhi was in a hurry and his head twitched again. He stretched out his palm and handed it over: "Just draw on my hand."

He hesitated for a moment and lowered his head to look at her. The palm was slowly drawn, and directions and arrows were also marked.

His calligraphy is very beautiful. Even though he is writing in the palm of his hand, each stroke is neat and powerful, and he feels that he is not inferior to some calligraphers.

Xu Zhi looked at it, reluctant to wipe it off, and couldn't help but look at him.

He was sitting and she was standing. When she lowered her head, she could see his tall and straight nose, as straight as a mountain wall. He was indescribably handsome and upright. Although he is leaning casually on the seat, his sitting posture is upright but relaxed. The hands holding the pen have clear outlines, well-jointed muscles and joints, and the fingers are slender, clean and strong.

There are rings on both the index finger and the middle finger, one with a black square interface, and the other with a thinner plain silver ring, which makes the fingers look longer. When holding the pen hard, the joints are slightly stretched, which is indescribably sexy. .

There is a slight itch in the palm of my hand, like ants quietly crawling across my heart.

Xu Zhi felt a little sore in his legs, and then realized that he had been standing stiffly for a long time, and he had put away his pen.

She hurriedly held her hands and said, "Thank you."

Fei Nanzhou found it funny that he didn't care about the previous disagreement so quickly? Do today’s young people all have goldfish memories?
