Reserve the sun

The coffee shop is filled with the strong aroma of coffee beans, but the mouth feels dry when passing by the door. The temperature in early winter is not too low. The passers-by on the roadside can wear scarves but cannot wear gloves, but the cold wind blows fingers The tip is as cold as iron. At this time, there is nothing more joyful than a hot coffee that warms your heart and body in your arms.The roasting machine rotates on the counter located deep in the store, and the rustling sound is like a regular maraca, which contrasts with the blues music played in the store.

The copper bell on the glass door trembled slightly, making a pleasant sound, reminding the waiters that there were customers coming again and they needed to cheer up.

Pushing the door open was a tall beauty with elegant make-up. The curly hair around her ears trembled slightly as she turned her neck, revealing the radiant gemstone earrings on her earlobe.The incomparable backlash against man-made products aroused several young girls whispering to each other, excited and envious.After holding her slender neck up and looking around for a week, she fixed her eyes on a corner with relatively weak lights. After looking for a while, she seemed to be sure that the person she was looking for was the one she was looking for. The woman walked in that direction. .

The man quietly reading the newspaper in the corner is more eye-catching than this beautiful woman. He has been sitting in this position for a while. The man is wearing a high-quality turtleneck cashmere sweater, and an equally high-end coat is casually placed beside him.The newspaper in his hand blocked the area below the bridge of his nose, but those deep-set eyes and high nose bridge still made the women who came and went blush and heartbeat.

"Mr. Jiang, I've been waiting for a long time." The beauty stood in front of the table, showing an elegant smile.

Reaching out to make a gesture of please sit down, Jiang Liu didn't stand up, but took back the newspaper in his hand. "Soon, Mr. Qin is very punctual. Please sit down, what do you want to drink?"

Qin Yu put the purse aside, took off her coat like Jiang Liu and put it on the back of the chair before sitting down. She lightly raised her right hand, and the waiter who was standing in the corner waiting to be called at any time came to the two of them with discerning eyesight. , presented the menu with both hands, and stood aside without making a sound.

"Cappuccino, thank you." Qin Yu said, handing the menu back to the waiter.

"Okay miss, please wait a moment."

Jiang Liu didn't have a particularly clear understanding of luxury goods, but he still recognized that the clothes and bags on Qin Yu's body belonged to several famous luxury brands, which should be of great value.He quickly made a note of her in his heart.

[tips1: This woman is very face-saving. 】

"Boss Qin is very beautiful today, and this dress suits you very well." Jiang Liu looked up at the other party slightly, and praised inadvertently.

Women are wonderful creatures, and they don’t always accept compliments from them. You have to carefully find out what they care about the most, otherwise, if they do their hair and you praise their makeup, or their nails, you praise their matching, and they will not only You won't be happy, but it will easily have the opposite effect.

But women are very serious "appearance parties", and they are always more tolerant of beautiful things.So if the above situation happened to a handsome and unrestrained man like Jiang Liu, most women would still choose to forgive.

But unfortunately, Jiang Liu is a doctor of psychology, maybe he is not good at words, but he can catch people's weaknesses accurately.Just like now, the face-saving Qin Yu blushed a little because the clothes he bought with a lot of money were praised, his eyes were a little more lively than before, and he expressed his inner joy. "Thank you. This dress is new and quite expensive. I took it only after being ruthless. Mr. Jiang praised me so much, and I suddenly felt that the money was worth it!"

Straightforwardly thanking Jiang Liu's compliment is the first, using the vocabulary of "hard-hearted" to be coquettish and cute is the second, and tactfully expressing admiration for Jiang Liu is the third.

Jiang Liu muttered in her heart again.

[tips2: This woman habitually satisfies a man's vanity by making a low profile. 】

The waiter slowly approached with a plate, "Miss, please take your cappuccino slowly." He placed the coffee cup in front of Qin Yu and said with a smile.

After nodding to express his gratitude to the other party, Qin Yu calmly turned the ear of the cup from left to right, brought it to his mouth and took a sip.

After Qin Yu refocused his attention on himself, Jiang Liu said: "I always tell the truth, Mr. Qin has very good taste, and he does everything gracefully." Yu has studied various "lady courses" very seriously, and is very fond of the school's nickname for her "Xue Baochai".

You know, Jiang Liu's background is that he has received a serious aristocratic education, and his gestures and gestures can be used as a model for western etiquette.Being praised for being elegant by such a person is simply the greatest affirmation of Qin Yu's insistence on learning etiquette for so many years!Qin Yu watched the man gently pinch the handle of the cup and put the coffee to his lips, feeling so excited that he even felt a little palpitation.

"Are all British gentlemen as good at pleasing ladies as Mr. Jiang? I'm going to be embarrassed by your words."

[tips3: This woman is eager to be recognized by others, especially in terms of appearance and temperament. 】

Jiang Liu suddenly felt a little jealous. What Qin Yu longed for probably wasn't the approval of ordinary people, but Ji Yu's.For Ji Yu, he has put in so much effort, isn't it just for him to look at himself more.

"Mr. Qin is so good, you can be more confident. I heard a lot about you from Mr. Wei. To be honest, I am very impressed." Jiang Liu deliberately named Wei Qiu and did not mention Ji Yu , maybe a little naive, but Jiang Liu is so indisputable that he wants to pour some cold water on Qin Yu.

The extremely well-maintained nails were slightly curled up, and the curvature of the corners of her mouth froze for a moment, and Qin Yu just fell straight into the big hole dug for her by her opponent. "Senior Wei thought of me so highly, I really don't know."

Well, the goal seems to have been achieved well, and this time I couldn't extend the topic properly. "The cooperation between Yuzhou and Xinghuo is very successful. Mr. Ji once showed me the planning case. From the overall record, Mr. Wei and Mr. Qin had a very smooth contact. I asked Mr. Wei specifically, and he said that Mr. Qin is young, but He is very decent in his behavior, and he is also meticulous and serious in his work. I didn't praise you in front of you, probably because you are his junior, so I don't want to make you proud."

"Senior Wei is usually careless and likes to make jokes. I didn't expect him to be so thoughtful. I thought this kind of thing was more like what Senior Ji did." Qin Yu calmly brought the topic to Ji Yu.

Jiang Liu stopped all kinds of body movements, and looked at Qin Yu in confusion. "Boss Qin, maybe it's inappropriate for me to say this, but I still want to remind you. The last time you drove with Boss Ji, you didn't do it wisely."

With a wry smile, he lowered his face, "Let Mr. Jiang see a joke. I have liked Senior Ji for many years, and I am almost obsessed."

"A lady like Mr. Qin will never lack suitors, so why put yourself in such a difficult situation."

"I think Mr. Jiang has a close relationship with Senior Ji, so they should be good friends. I won't hide it from you, and it's not that I haven't tried to give up looking for other people to get along with. However, no one can compare with Senior Ji."

[tips4: This woman thinks very highly of herself. 】

Not wanting to discuss with her about Ji Yu anymore, Jiang Liu led the conversation back to the right path. "I'm taking the liberty. President Qin just doesn't blame me. Speaking of which, the purpose of asking President Qin today is to learn about the communication method between Xinghuo and Yuzhou. Presumably President Qin also knows that Donald and Yuzhou have reached a cooperation intention. .”

Assuming that it was the habit of Westerners not to explore others' privacy too much, Qin Yu didn't show any discomfort or surprise to Jiang Liu's behavior of changing the subject. "Yes, we know. Donald and Yuzhou signed the agreement a few months ago, so the communication should be sufficient. I don't know what Mr. Jiang needs to know?"

[tips5: This woman is very sensitive to work matters. 】

"President Qin, don't need to be so nervous. I'm not a spy here to spy on Xinghuo's business secrets." Jiang Liu laughed softly. He needed to ease the atmosphere on the field, and only by relaxing could he achieve his goal.

Facing Jiang Liu's smiling face, Qin Yu really couldn't hold back, "I didn't mean that, how could someone like Mr. Jiang need to be a spy! It's just surprise."

"What's the surprise? Donald worked with Haoyuzhou before he knew how it worked?"

He stared into Qin Yu's eyes, and the other party nodded unconsciously.

"No, President Qin misunderstood. If it was the above reasons, I would not have asked you to meet in such an informal place as a coffee shop." Jiang Liu did not explain the reasons in a straightforward manner. For a person like Qin Yu who thinks he is smart , Let the other party think about it to be more credible.

Weekends, non-working days, cafes, casual wear, these series of logos are all unabashedly placed on the table by Jiang Liu for herself to see.Without any reason, Qin Yu believed that Jiang Liu was really not doing business.Otherwise, even if Donald is a competitor, it would not be strange to visit Xinghuo's company for tea and chat.

Seeing the other party's expression change, Jiang Liu said again, "Boss Qin probably doesn't know, although I presided over the signing last time, but I didn't stay in China for a few days because of the busy business in the UK, so many specific negotiations were done by my subordinates. Yes. I have limited communication with Yuzhou, but I can't avoid it, I like efficient working methods, so I want to learn from Mr. Qin."

Qin Yu nodded clearly. Jiang Liu's words were half-truths and half-false, but generally speaking, they were in line with his personality and should be credible. This undoubtedly deepened mutual trust. "So that's it. I thought Senior Ji and Jiang are always good friends, and these things are not a problem."

To be so cautious and unwilling to speak out, and to trick him in turn?Jiang Liu held on, without showing the slightest impatience, "Partners are partners, and friends are friends. I'm not used to discussing work while chatting with friends in private."

These words were harsh, and it made it clear that Qin Yu knew that he was not considered a friend, and this meeting was not considered a private chat with a friend. "Mr. Jiang's words made me really sad. I only came here because I regarded you as a friend."

[tips6: This woman refuses to admit defeat and thinks that her efforts must be rewarded equally by the other party. 】

"When did I say that Mr. Qin is not a friend anymore? This is really unfair. Mr. Qin thinks about it, if I didn't regard you as a friend, how could I ask you these things so bluntly?" Jiang Liu was as immobile as a mountain, and turned away A bend turns the question around again.He is implying that I regard you as a friend now, but if you don't tell me what I want to know, it may not be true if you are still a friend in the future.He picked up the coffee cup and took a sip, smiling all over his eyes.

In fact, Jiang Liu really didn't care whether Qin Yu was willing to cooperate or not. He had many ways to find information, and he didn't really want to find Xinghuo's business secrets, so he didn't need to hold on to Qin Yu.To put it bluntly, he asked Qin Yu out today just to see what this woman Ji Yu can't avoid is like.But to Qin Yu, Jiang Liu was even more attractive than the Donald behind him. On the surface, she was of course hanged by a tree on Ji Yu's body, but everyone knew that she had already died because of Jiang Liu's appearance. shaken.

This is a perfect man of a completely different type from Ji Yu. He is high above and untouchable. Now that the emperor condescends to give Qin Yu a chance to blaspheme, is she ruthless enough to refuse?

"Since it's Mr. Jiang's request, of course I will respond. In fact, I only communicated with Senior Wei when we approached each other. At that time, Senior Ji was in charge of other projects. Specifically, it's like this..."

Jiang Liu seemed to be listening carefully, but added another one to Qin Yu.

[tips7: This woman is extremely selfish and only chooses according to her own needs. 】

After Qin Yu finished speaking, Jiang Liu thoughtfully called the waiter to refill the glasses for the two of them. "Thank you, Mr. Qin. Your suggestion is very pertinent and practical. I will remember it. When I 'return from my studies', I will treat Mr. Qin to a meal."

"My honor!" Qin Yu was satisfied with Jiang Liu's understanding of current affairs.

"Speaking of which, it's really a coincidence that Mr. Qin, Mr. Wei and Mr. Ji are alumni. I heard from Ji Yu that Mr. Qin joined the literary club at that time, and the articles were very beautifully written." One slap and one sweet date, knowing the information Finally, Jiang Liu always wants to give some sweetness.

Hearing Ji Yu mentioned himself, Qin Yu hurriedly asked: "Really! Senior Ji said so?"

"Yes, I mentioned it by accident during the chat."

"Actually, senior Ji's articles are really beautiful. He is the president of the literature club and a famous talent in the university! His tutors are top-notch in education and appearance, and he is a real man of the hour!" Qin Yu recalled the memories of his college days. The bright appearance made Jiang Liu feel dazzling, but he was willing to listen.

He doesn't know much about Ji Yu, and he will be closer to Ji Yu if he hears more from others. "Really, but Ji Yu is also very good now, it is conceivable."

Qin Yu seemed to feel that he had found a kindred spirit, and continued excitedly, "Yeah, we called him Mr. Ji at that time, just like in costume dramas. Seniors can be spotted at a glance when they stand in the crowd." Man, his temperament is different from other boys! It is no exaggeration to say that the girls chasing him can definitely stand around the school!"

Recalling the various behaviors of Ji Yu since the acquaintance, Jiang Liu suddenly smiled.When we met for the first time, I was really worthy of the title 'Ji Gongzi', but the character that Ji Yu showed later was not like the male protagonists in TV dramas, he was more like a cute, innocent and frizzy child!He suddenly wanted to ask Ji Yu how many girls he had tricked into falling in love with him with this well-dressed appearance.

"What's Mr. Jiang laughing at?" Qin Yu felt a little strange, but she didn't say anything strange.

After waving her hand to indicate that it was none of her business, Jiang Liu said, "No, I just thought of something, President Qin don't mind."

The two sat together and chatted for a while. Qin Yu was very good at chatting, and Jiang Liu was very good at cooperating. They had originally made an appointment to meet in the afternoon, but with their perfect cooperation, it was easy to arrive at the meal time.

Thinking that Jiang Liu would take the initiative to invite himself to dinner no matter what, Qin Yu deliberately ate more at noon to avoid making jokes at dinner.But it was almost 5:30, but Jiang Liu still didn't mention anything.

Just when Qin Yu couldn't help but want to remind, Jiang Liu finally glanced at the watch on his left hand, showing a slightly surprised expression. "I was too involved in chatting with Mr. Qin. I didn't expect it to end at this point. How about..." Before Jiang Liu could finish speaking, his cell phone vibrated, it was a call.He looked at Qin Yu in embarrassment, and the other party naturally stretched out his hand and made a gesture of convenience.

"Hey, what's the matter?" Jiang Liu smiled at Qin Yu, and answered the phone without any shyness.

"It's dinner time, what else can I do with you?" Ji Yu was a little puzzled, did Jiang Liu forget in a hurry? "I look for you to eat at this time every day, and you're not used to it yet?"

"I'm with Boss Qin, why is there something wrong at this time?" Jiang Liu's serious expression was a bit scary.

Ji Yu will finally come over, Jiang Liu is waiting for this phone call to escape! "Mr. Jiang, this is very important! You should come here yourself!"

When he heard Mr. Jiang's words, Jiang Liu moved the phone to his ear, exposing a distance, allowing Qin Yu to hear the second half of Ji Yu's words. "this…"

Qin Yu knew from the moment Jiang Liu answered the phone that today's meal might not be finished, but she was not qualified to mess around. "Mr. Jiang, don't worry about me, just go and get busy if you have something to do."

"Wait a minute." Jiang Liu put down the phone, a little helpless, "I'm really sorry, Mr. Qin, I will definitely make it up next time."

"Of course, Mr. Jiang forgot and I will remember to remind you!" Qin Yu's smile was perfect.

Picking up the phone again, Jiang Liu said, "Okay, I'll come when I send Boss Qin away safely."

Ji Yu was trembling with laughter on the other end of the phone, "I can't see that Mr. Jiang is so old and cunning, okay, you send her away and call me, I'll pick you up!"

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Liu put enough cash on the table to pay for the consumption of the two of them, then put on a coat and sent Qin Yu to the parking lot.Standing in front of Qin Yu's car, Jiang Liu opened the car door for her in a gentlemanly manner, and said again regretfully: "Today is really unfortunate, let's meet again next time."

Qin Yu obviously enjoyed such treatment, she got into the car following Jiang Liu's actions, and looked up at him. "I can't help it, Mr. Jiang doesn't mind. I won't waste your time. Goodbye."

After closing the car door for Qin Yu, Jiang Liu took a few steps back, stood aside and watched her disappear around the corner.He took out his phone and pressed a shortcut button, the busy tone ended, and before Jiang Liu could speak, he heard a joking voice on the other side.

"Mr. Jiang, the beauty is finally sent away?"

"Well, finally left." Jiang Liu pinched the bridge of her nose as she walked towards the hotel.

"Then let me pick you up, what do you want to eat?" Ji Yu picked up the car keys, put on his leather shoes and went out.

"It's fine to eat some light noodles, or take out directly. I don't want to move after staying with Ms. Qin for too long in the afternoon." Jiang Liu's tone was a little tired.

It was rare for Jiang Liu to make a request. Ji Yu thought about it and felt that if it was ordering takeaway, he didn't need to go. He could just order room service.But I've already gone out, so it's boring to go back on my word, "Okay, I bought something and brought it over, you just wait in the room."

Recently, Ji Yu has been busy planning the activities that Donald explained, and the materials in the office are almost piled up into a hill. If you just open the door and look in, you may not be able to see if there is anyone inside.On the other hand, Jiang Liu was busy completing the tasks assigned by the board of directors to sort out and investigate the development of each company on the list. People often came and went in and out of the small conference room, but the protagonist never took a step out of the room.The time that two people can meet is limited to the way to work in the morning and on the way to get off work in the evening, but at this time, the two who are physically and mentally exhausted have no interest in talking at all.

Although he had heard Jiang Liu mention Qin Yu and Xinghuo's matter a long time ago, Ji Yu really did not expect that Jiang Liu would meet each other in person. If any of Donald's subordinates can complete the work independently, why should he, a high-ranking vice president, do it himself.

Ji Yu couldn't figure it out.

After packing two bowls of Sanxian noodles at a ramen restaurant not far from the hotel, it took Ji Yu only 5 minutes to stand at the door of Jiang Liu's room.

When he heard the doorbell, Jiang Liu was looking at the documents. He had spent too much time on Qin Yu, and he hadn't finished the work that needed to be done today.Putting down the tablet in his hand, he stood up and walked towards the door, "Come on, I'll open the door right away."

"Hurry up, hurry up, if you don't eat this noodle soup, you will become dry noodles!" As soon as the door opened, Ji Yu, who was wrapped in a ball of cotton balls, rushed into the door and walked towards the small table in the living room familiarly.

Standing at the door in a daze, Jiang Liu suddenly remembered that what she asked Ji Yu to help buy were noodles, but the noodles became mushy after a long time, and she couldn't eat them unless she ate them quickly.He touched the tip of his nose in embarrassment, closed the door and stood there not daring to approach.

Over there, Ji Yu hurriedly took off his down jacket and scarf, but he still hadn’t seen the master come over. He was a little anxious, “Why are you standing there, wanting to drink the batter? Why don’t you come over to eat it! I’m so in a hurry to give it to you.” You are a food delivery boy! If you don’t appreciate Dade, forget it, and don’t cherish the fruits of my labor!”

"I'm sorry, I didn't think so much, I..." Jiang Liu didn't know what to say, he thought carefully for a while, trying to make up his mind, and swore an oath. "I'll definitely finish it! Even if it's batter."

"Okay! Sit down and eat!" Ji Yu wasn't really angry, seeing Jiang Liu like this, he felt that this person is really cute sometimes, how do you say that word?The contrast is cute!He grabbed Jiang Liu's wrist and pulled him onto the bench, "Eat! Don't talk, action is the most important thing."

I don't know if it's an illusion, but Jiang Liu really ate this bowl of noodles very seriously today, not only at a faster speed, but in the end he didn't even miss the clear soup, and poured it all into his mouth.This kind of Jiang Liu is not as cold as usual at work, nor is he so casual in private, but it just makes people feel silly and cute, which makes Ji Yu on the side not able to fully focus on eating, and from time to time Want to look up at each other.

Being stared at by Ji Yu intentionally or unintentionally, Jiang Liu was both surprised and a little happy. He didn't know that his state was defined by Ji Yu as a "contrasted cuteness", but the undisguised joy made him look even cuter. .

He put down the bowl in his hand and stared at Ji Yu who was opposite, his eyes were clear and bright, and there was a smile on the corners of his lips and eyebrows, like a big dog begging for praise. "I'm done eating!"

Did Ji Yu know that he had finished eating? He cast a glance at Jiang Liu's bowl, put down his chopsticks by mistake, stretched out his right hand and patted Jiang Liu's head, praising him solemnly. "Well, good performance, keep working hard next time!"

The small coffee table is not too big, but to get a picture of Jiang Liu's head, Ji Yu still needs to lean out.Jiang Liu didn't expect Ji Yu to make such a move, and looked at him with some panic, but he didn't move away either.But Ji Yu, who finished taking pictures of people, suddenly froze in mid-air, his right hand stretched out and neither retracted, looking at Jiang Liu who was sitting on the chair a little at a loss.Maintaining this strange posture, the faces of the two people who were still facing each other flushed instantly.

What the hell did he do!Ji Yu scolded himself crazily in his heart, can't the tiger's butt be touched!Why did I slap Jiang Liu on the head! ?This person is stronger than him, has a stronger family background than him, is older than him, and is taller than him. If he gets angry, how will the fishing boat operate in the future!This is the rhythm to finish playing.

Jiang Liu just watched Ji Yu's expression change from satisfied and joking to bewildered and then to annoyed, watched the pink on his face spread to his neck and ears, watched his arm still resting on his head slightly twitch trembling.He really wanted to maintain this action again, but compared with his own emotions at the moment, he didn't want Ji Yu to be embarrassed.Sighing silently in his heart, Jiang Liu stretched out his hand and pulled Ji Yu's hand off his head, and said softly, "Stop making trouble, you haven't finished eating your noodles yet."

With a dry laugh, Ji Yu withdrew his hand from Jiang Liu's, picked up the chopsticks and lowered his head to eat the noodles, not daring to look at Jiang Liu again.After he finished eating, Jiang Liu also stretched out his right hand and patted his head: "That's right, it's not wasted."

Ji Yu raised his head instantly, Jiang Liu's extremely gentle eyes greeted him, he didn't seem to be angry.

"What are you looking at me for? You are allowed to pat me, but you are not allowed to return it?" Jiang Liu said while rubbing Ji Yu's soft hair into a ball.

After reacting, Ji Yuben's pink face hadn't faded and he blushed again, but he knew he was wrong, so he couldn't refute it. "not me…"

"Don't worry, I'm not angry." Jiang Liu slowly withdrew her hand, as if she was still yearning for the touch of Ji Yu's hair.

"I'm leaving first! I'll contact you if there is anything else!" After leaving these words, Ji Yu stood up abruptly, and left Jiang Liu's room as if fleeing for his life.

Sitting on the chair, Jiang Liu suddenly wanted to cry.

Since his parents passed away, no one has patted his head again.Everyone believed that he was not an ordinary child, and treated him with respect, but at that time he was not even 10 years old.He will be uneasy because of his hyperamnesia, and he can't sleep all night long. When he wakes up, he can't tell the difference between yesterday and today, last month and this month, memory and reality.At that time, he really hoped that someone could pat his head gently like his mother and softly coax him to sleep, but his mother was only a fragment of his memory.

Grandpa is naturally concerned about him, but grandpa will not give him the slightest comfort. What he does is to urge himself to grow up in the fastest way in as loose an environment as possible.So he worked hard to complete his studies and work, in order to be just a word of approval from his grandfather.

Jiang Liu didn't know why he wanted to be praised by the other party the moment he finished eating the noodles, and he didn't know how obvious this thought was on his face. He just missed the temperature of Ji Yu's palm.The kind of temperature that makes him warm up all at once.

He smiled and squeezed the right hand that was making trouble on Ji Yu's head, and suddenly laughed, Ji Yu is really his weakness, he can poke into his heart with a light poke.
