Chapter 46

The car drove away from the compound, and the square gate of the courtyard gradually disappeared from sight.

Fei Nanzhou pressed his eyebrows, and when he raised his head again, his face was expressionless.

He has been to this place twice. The first time was many years ago when he accompanied his grandfather. The greenery was still the same, but the turf had changed over time.

But there is no difference if you don't look closely. Some things are covered in layers under the sun, making it difficult to see clearly.

Smart people choose to be wise and protect themselves, and will not go into details.

The car stopped halfway, and a gentle young man got up, who looked like a secretary. He was ridiculous and very charming.

His name is Shen Qian. He was brought by Mr. Fei from Beijing. It is said that he comes from a good family background.

Wang Yuwen hurriedly got out of the car and asked him to come up, opened the back seat door for him, and returned to the driver's seat.

Xiao Liu, who was in the passenger seat, was a newbie and didn’t know how to get along with the superiors. He looked behind him curiously from the rearview mirror from time to time.

Wang Yuwen wanted to remind him a few words, but he was afraid of injuring himself, so he just looked at him calmly.

But he didn't seem to see it, and it was hopeless.

Shen Qian whispered something to Fei Nanzhou, seemingly reporting on the board of directors' movements, and talked about the deployment of several important energy projects, and then talked about his father.

In the transfer two years ago, his father was considered a failure. He was not promoted but was not demoted either. He was in a position at the same level. Only the title had some changes.

But generally speaking, there is still some impact.

The father and son seem to be inseparable, but in the end they are still father and son.

"What does the director mean, do you plan to return to Beijing?" Shen Qian asked him.

"Then I have to go back." Fei Nanzhou smiled lightly, seemingly unconcerned.

A pair of deep eyes were exceptionally calm, seemingly indifferent, and fearless as if soldiers were coming to cover up the water and earth.

Shen Qian hesitated for a while and said, "The relationship between the Lu family and the Ji family is very close, and it is not easy to break through. Lu Zhengsheng himself has mediocre abilities and is nothing to be afraid of, but the Lu family has been rooted here for many years and has a deep foundation. You have to dig him up." Easier said than done? How many people in the company are his? Even if they are not, for the sake of the Lu family and the Ji family, they will not express their stance too directly. "

Fei Nanzhou said. He glanced at the dark sky outside the window and smiled softly.

This time I came here just to test Ji Hongming.

"If the Ji family insists on uniting with the Lu family, it will be really bad for us." Shen Qian reminded him.

"How can an old fox express his position so easily? He has only been in the past two years, and every step must be carefully considered. Haste makes waste, don't be too nervous."

"I understand." Shen Qian responded and stopped talking.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the temperature in Nanjing dropped significantly. Fortunately, the rain was not abundant and it was not bone-chillingly cold.

Ji Hongming's health has not been good recently, and Xu Zhi went to the office building to visit him twice.

"Actually, don't blame your father too much. We originally agreed to marry your mother, but she didn't expect to marry her because of her beauty." Teng Zhenhai sent her downstairs.

He was extremely loyal to Ji Hongming and always wanted to repair the relationship between their father and daughter.

Xu Zhi had never met her mother, so naturally she didn't have any deep emotions.

She can't say that she has no feelings for Ji Hongming, but she really can't be very close to him.

Her family relationship has always been vacant, and Fei Nanzhou has filled a large part of it.

But Ji Hongming still noticed his concern for her during this period. As a freshman leader, he would personally make chicken soup for her. Afterwards, he only asked Aunt Jiang to bring it to her room without saying a word.

He himself is very simple and drives an old car assigned to him more than 20 years ago, but he bought her a nice new car to make her more respectable.

"What do you think about the marriage with the Lu family?" Teng Zhenhai asked her in a subtle way.

Xu Zhi was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer, so he could only say, "Lu Jingchen probably looks down on me."

"Your dad asked him, and he didn't object."

Xu Zhi was really stunned.

But she didn't want to marry Lu Jingchen at all.

Moreover, why would he agree to such a thing?

Xu Zhi thought about it for a long time, but couldn't figure it out.

In the few times they met, Lu Jingchen was lukewarm towards her, and there was really no sign that he liked her.

Or are they people who can sacrifice their feelings for profit?

Are personal emotions insignificant in the face of the overall situation?

With this doubt in mind, Xu Zhi looked at Lu Jingchen several times that Sunday when he came to pay him a visit.

Maybe he also noticed that she looked at him differently, so after finishing the meal, he came over and knocked on her door.

At that time, the door to Xu Zhi's room was wide open, as if she was waiting for him to come over.

She turned to him and took off her earrings in the dressing mirror. She didn't turn around immediately when she heard the sound, but looked at him in the dressing mirror.

Lu Jingchen leaned against the door with his hands folded and let her look at him, feeling completely at ease.

Xu Zhi had finished looking at it and found it boring, so he threw the earrings he took off into the jewelry box: "What do you think?"

Lu Jingchen straightened up and walked directly to her, but did not answer her question.

He looked at the sunset outside the floor-to-ceiling window and didn't speak for a long time.

Xu Zhi stared at him without hesitation and frowned.

"How about staring at a man so blatantly?" His tone was a little joking.

However, he has a habitual indifferent temperament, and when he jokes, it doesn't seem like he is really joking. He always has a kind of dissociated and otherworldly indifference.

This is very different from Fei Nanzhou who joined the WTO.

But he is not a person who is ignorant of the world, but he is too lazy to understand it most of the time.

"I want to ask you something, Chief of Staff Lu." Xu Zhi pursed her lower lip and looked up at him with a sweet smile.

Lu Jingchen smiled and said, "You can't do anything good by calling me like that."

Xu Zhi was a little discouraged, and after a while he said, "Then how should I call you?"

"Lu Jingchen."

"Okay, Lu Jingchen." Xu Zhi shrugged and changed And solemnly said, "What do you think?"

He raised his eyebrows slightly: "You mean-"

Xu Zhi took a deep breath: "Why do you agree to the marriage?"

Lu Jingchen smiled and asked her: "Why? Can't agree?"

Xu Zhi felt that he was arguing and was a little angry: "I'm asking you!"

He seemed to find her angry look really funny, so he smiled again and looked away lightly: " Marrying with the Ji family is a good move."

Xu Zhi stared at his cold profile and thought so.

People like them really put their interests first.

She asked no more questions and turned her eyes coldly to the window. However, she didn't see the look he cast on her when he turned around. That glance was complicated and difficult to distinguish, and contained a gentleness that was rarely seen on ordinary days.

-The

news that the Lu family and the Ji family are getting married soon spread in the circle.

Lu Jingchen's frequent visits to the Ji family seems to be a very clear signal.

For a while, when Xu Zhi went to work, people would congratulate her, which made her dumbfounded.

I haven’t mentioned the horoscope yet, I don’t know why these people are so gossipy.

Zhang He called her over that day, obviously beaming with joy.

Xu Zhi stood there obediently, as if listening.

Zhang He talked a lot before getting down to business, saying that the project had been settled and that she would be asked to come over in a few days to handle the matter, and that this important project would be handed over to her.

Xu Zhi felt very surprised. When he went to the reception that day, it was clear that they were not very interested in their institution.

To put it bluntly, this is completely a buyer's market. They have no advantage at all in terms of technology. There are so many competing large institutions and large companies, but they have been singled out.

Of course she wouldn't say anything on her face. Seeing Zhang He so happy, how could she throw cold water on him?

The next day she went over with the documents and registered at the door. After entering, she navigated to a light gray building on the east side according to the designated location.

Looking up, the "1" in the iron number is very eye-catching.

About five minutes later, Wang Yuwen came out of the building to pick her up: "Sorry, I was in a meeting for the leaders just now."

Xu Zhi smiled hurriedly and said it didn't matter, and followed him into the building.

This was the first time Xu Zhi came to Fei Nanzhou's place of work. The building was extremely quiet, and it was even deserted when they reached the top floor. The empty corridor led directly to the office at the end.

Wang Yuwen took her and left.

Xu Zhi held his breath, stepped forward and knocked twice on the bronze office door.

After a while, he heard a deep and steady male voice: "Come in."

Xu Zhi then quietly opened the door and went in.

The office is very large. There is a set of sofas for guests as soon as you enter the door. To the east is his office area. Fei Nanzhou was sitting behind his desk, writing something with his head down, a pair of thin-framed glasses on his nose.

He looks more polite, gentle and calm.

Xu Zhi had never seen him wearing glasses before, so he couldn't help but be a little stunned.

She didn't dare to interrupt him loudly, and stood quietly with the document waiting for him to finish writing.

After about a few minutes, he closed the document and screwed on the cap of his pen. He nodded at the guest seat next to her and said, "Sit down."

Xu Zhi then sat down.

He got up and went to the water dispenser nearby to pour her a glass of water.

The clear sound of water rang in her ears, and her nerves were a little tense.

Although the office was quite big, she felt like she was locked in a small box and was extremely nervous.

Fei Nanzhou came over with the poured water, leaned over and put it next to her hand, then walked back to the desk and sat down.

"Thank you." Xu Zhi said quickly.

The water was warm, obviously mixed with hot and cold.

Xu Zhi lowered his head and took a sip, feeling an indescribable feeling in his heart.

Although this is just a small thing.

Maybe he was just doing it out of personal cultivation, and maybe he was like this to everyone.

After all, he has cultivated so well now that he is watertight and treats others with such proficiency.

It can be said that people at his level rarely let others see his true thoughts, and will not embarrass others easily to avoid being true to his words.

"Aren't you going to show me some information?" As if he had been waiting for her reaction for a long time, Fei Nanzhou held out his palm to her.

Xu Zhi came to her senses and stood up quickly, handing over the information with both hands.

He just glanced at it and accepted it casually.

Then there was the sound of him lowering his head and turning the pages of the book, and the two of them said nothing.

Everything is business-like, without any personal emotion.

And he treated her like any subordinate, nothing unusual. It seemed that the words he said to her that day were all her illusions.
