my passenger is sleepy

Si Xiaoqi began to regret taking this business.

At that time, he was standing in Lin Fang's spacious office, staring at a painting on the wall.According to the level of painting that he can only paint "Old Man Ding", in fact, he can't see the goodness of this painting at all, so he is not appreciating the color and brushwork of this painting at all, he is completely attracted by the one in the lower right corner of the painting The signature is captivating.

Qiu Ye!

This is not a very rare name, and the probability of having the same name is very high, but Si Xiaoqi is very sure that this Qiu Ye is "that" Qiu Ye.

Fuck!Si Xiaoqi suppressed the urge to turn his head and leave, and stood in front of the painting wondering whether he should continue to wait for Lin Fang.

Speaking of which, Lin Fang is also a colleague who runs a small logistics company. The business was quite big in the early years, but since the partner withdrew the capital, the business has been in decline.Lin Fang's personal ability is limited, and his mind is not very broad-minded. Many business partners who cooperate with him are reluctant to renew their contracts after their contracts expire.As time passed, the business scope became smaller and smaller. Speaking of which, his original joint venture partner couldn't bear his suspicion and "not thinking about making progress", so he resolutely withdrew.

Over the past year or so, Si Xiaoqi has slowly shifted the focus of his business to freight, so he has already set his sights on Lin Fang's logistics company.Qiao Xin spent several months talking with Lin Fang, and finally moved him, agreeing to transfer some of his clients to Si Xiaoqi in order to alleviate his imminent debt crisis.Si Xiaoqi came to discuss the specific transfer contract with him today. He originally thought that according to Lin Fang's current situation, not to mention being respectful to himself, he should at least be polite. Almost twenty minutes in the office.

Si Xiaoqi was not angry, he knew what Lin Fang was thinking, he just wanted to make a gesture on purpose - I don't care much about your business, so don't even think about exorbitant prices.There is nothing wrong with this strategy of beating opponents psychologically, but Lin Fang has overlooked one problem, that is, although Si Xiaoqi also wants to make this deal, it is definitely not as urgent as Lin Fanglai, who is facing a debt crisis. Lin Fang instead of Si Xiaoqi.

Therefore, Lin Fang's pretentious posture was not "dramatic" in Si Xiaoqi's eyes. He didn't mind letting Lin Fang's tail rise a little higher. The more exciting the expressions are, Si Xiaoqi has always been very interested in this kind of drama.

However, since Si Xiaoqi found the painting on the wall, his thoughts have changed, and now Si Xiaoqi is considering whether to let go.His gaze was cast on the painting, the colors were strong and the graphics were exaggerated, not only could Si Xiaoqi not be able to tell whether it was a gouache or an oil painting, he couldn't even tell what was painted in the picture.On the whole, it looks like a bunch of criss-crossing lines, filled with various dazzling color blocks in the middle, and the colored grids of different sizes are crowded together in a chaotic way, which makes people feel irritable when they look at it.

Si Xiaoqi remembered the Picasso album that Qiu Ye showed him before, there was a picture called "A Woman Going Upstairs" or "A Woman Going Down the Stairs", Si Xiaoqi didn't remember clearly.The entire picture of that painting is full of lines, no human figure can be seen at all, and the main color of the picture is golden, which makes people feel dizzy when they look at it.Si Xiaoqi has never liked these things. If he wants to talk about painting, he would rather read comics, at least he can see what is human and what is not.

Now, Si Xiaoqi looked at the painting with a frown, feeling a little restless.He didn't want to run into Qiu Ye again at all. It wasn't that Qiu Ye would cause him any trouble, nor that he still had any emotional entanglements with him, but he simply didn't want to see this person again.

To go or not to go?

Si Xiaoqi was struggling a bit. Qiao Xin put a lot of effort into this business, and he also promised to give Xiao Qiao a large bonus if he succeeds.Of course, if Xiao Qiao was told the truth, Xiao Qiao would not be angry and would not mind the "bonus", but the hard work of the previous few months was in vain, which made people somewhat unwilling, Si Xiaoqi felt strange Sorry brother.Just when he was hesitating and struggling, a voice sounded behind him: "Boss Si, oops, I'm sorry, I've been waiting for a long time."

Si Xiaoqi spit on himself secretly saying "I told you not to leave early, Qian Nu", and turned around with a peaceful smile: "Boss Lin, hello, hello."

"Oh, I'm so sorry, a client just called... You see, I've been a little busy recently, and there's too much work."

"Business is booming, good thing!" Si Xiaoqi smiled with sincere "envy", but in his heart he was thinking that your employees' salaries are almost out of pay and you are still "busy", busy "collecting artworks", right? ?

"Boss Si is also interested in painting?" Lin Fang pointed to the paintings on the wall and said with a smile, with a look of arrogance and even contempt.

"No," Si Xiaoqi shrugged and said, "I'm just a big bastard, I don't know anything about painting, I just thought it was the color palette of your company's car paint."

Lin Fang's smile froze all of a sudden, and after the corners of his eyes twitched a few times, he forced the corners of his mouth to change the subject: "That...Mr. Si, please sit down."

"Mr. Lin, Qiao Xin from our company has communicated with you before, so we won't go around in circles. Do you have any doubts about this deal?" Si Xiaoqi got straight to the point as soon as his butt touched the sofa, He had a faint premonition in his heart that this is a place of right and wrong, if possible, don't stay for a minute, finish the conversation and leave immediately.

Lin Fang was leaning on the back of the sofa, with his right hand resting casually on his knee, looking leisurely and content.But Si Xiaoqi could hear it keenly, there was a tremor in his voice, and the corners of his mouth were a little stiff.

"That..." Lin Fang deliberately sighed and said, "Everyone is a businessman, Mr. Si should know that these are all big customers." Lin Fang tapped his fingers subconsciously. knee.

Si Xiaoqi looked at Lin Fang's slightly trembling fingertips, and felt relieved all of a sudden.He changed his relaxed posture and leaned on the sofa, and said without hesitation: "Boss Lin has a big business. My small company has just been established for four or five years, so naturally it cannot be compared."

Lin Fang smiled slightly, with a somewhat proud expression on his face.By this time, the topic should naturally turn to the business field, so Lin Fang waited patiently for Si Xiaoqi to propose a price, and then the two sides could start to argue.But half a minute passed, and the office was completely silent. Si Xiaoqi looked at the "color palette" on the wall and stopped talking.

Lin Fang was a little flustered, he must make this deal.Although Anjie is a newly established company more than four years ago, it is obviously supported by a powerful enterprise. It has developed rapidly in recent years, and it has already annexed four or five small transportation companies when everyone was caught off guard.Anjie is the only one of the three main lines going north, and its strength should not be underestimated.Lin Fang has always wanted to know which company is behind Anjie, but after going through all of Anjie's customers one by one, he didn't find anyone who could provide such a large amount of financial assistance to Anjie.

But no matter where Anjie's money comes from, it is most appropriate to sell "long-term" to Anjie at the moment.So Lin Fang originally put on a good posture to talk to Si Xiaoqi, hoping to increase it by a few percentage points.At first, everything was going well, but Si Xiaoqi's unsalty "car paint color palette" broke the "aura" he had created with great difficulty.Now Si Xiaoqi is silent again, what is he doing staring at the "color palette" on the wall?

"That... Boss Si?" Lin Fang cleared his throat and called out, "Shall we talk about business?"

Si Xiaoqi turned back his gaze in satisfaction: Just speak, I'm afraid you won't speak, don't you want to talk to me, then follow my rhythm!

"That's right," Si Xiaoqi said heartily, "Let's talk about business, talk about business, since Qiao Xin has already made it clear to you, let's talk about the specific price."

Lin Fang breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to speak when Si Xiaoqi interrupted him: "Anxia's line is mainly used for clothing and bags, and it's very innumerable. If you want to talk about profits...it really doesn't have much room. "

"But the volume is huge," Lin Fang interjected hastily, "Xiajiang City is the largest wholesale production place of clothing, bags and bags in our province. It is not a problem to transport more than a dozen truckloads of goods every day."

"Boss Lin, you have been running this line for so many years, you should be very clear about the profit margin." Si Xiaoqi said flatly, "If you really can earn so much, you wouldn't make a move, right?"

Lin Fang's heart sank, Si Xiaoqi's words were implying that he already knew the profit of Lin's freight forwarding for one year, and asked Lin Fang not to ask for prices.

Who leaked this?Lin Xin felt a fire in his heart.

Si Xiaoqi took a sip of tea leisurely, he was not in a hurry, he had plenty of time to wait for Lin Fang to think about it - anyway, it wasn't Anjie who was struggling with cash flow.

◇◇◇

Xiao Chen had a major operation today, entered the operation building at 08:30 in the morning, and didn't come out until [-]:[-] in the afternoon. Duan's "excavator" watched the entire operation.After returning to the ward, Duan Shixin said with admiration: "Doctor Xiao, this operation is amazing!"

"What's so awesome about it? Go and see Director Guo's surgery, that's called bullshit." Xiao Chen sat on a chair to rest, and couldn't bend his legs after standing for a whole day. He drank his saliva and continued, "Besides, It's not that you haven't seen Director Wen's surgery, look at the one he did."

"That's different," Duan Shixin shook his head and said, "Director Wen has accumulated decades of experience, but you have only been back to the chest for a few years, and it took only two years to become the chief surgeon. Look at you. Surgery, Mr. Wen taught me a lesson a few days ago with your case of 'esophageal tumor invading tracheal membrane, aorta, and azygos vein arch'."

Xiao Chen tapped on the table with his fingers, and said with a smile: "Sooner or later you can do this too."

Duan Shixin curled her lips and said, "I'm still early, and Director Guo chased me all over the corridor and scolded me every day..."

Xiao Chen laughed, I'm afraid Guo Hong's temper can't be changed, it's wishful thinking to expect him to be kind and pleasant.

"By the way, Doctor Xiao, let me treat you to dinner today," Duan Shixin said excitedly, "I happen to have a few questions I want to ask you."

Xiao Chen thought for a while and said, "Not today, why not tomorrow?"

Duan Shixin sneered: "Why not today? Is it because you are afraid that your family will disagree?"

Xiao Chen shook his head noncommittally: "I really have something to do today, let's try another day."

Xiao Chen's words are not deceitful, he is indeed busy today - Si Xiaoqi invited him to dinner!This is a big event, 22 days have passed this month, and the number of times two people can sit and eat together is no more than one slap.Recently, Si Xiaoqi is busy with a merger and acquisition case, which has almost taken root in the office, while he has arranged three major surgeries in a row, is busy making plans every day, holds group meetings to discuss every day, and working overtime has become the norm.The two people's house was completely reduced to a hotel, and every day they went back to sleep, and when they woke up, they went to their own business.

The day before yesterday, Si Xiaoqi came back after ten o'clock in the evening. After taking a bath, he lay beside Xiao Chen and sighed: "Honey, how long has it been since we two made love?"

Xiao Chen was leaning on the bed and brushing the pad. He climbed over the wall and found out an operation case of an American doctor. He was looking down patiently at the screen full of English letters. He was stunned when he heard Si Xiaoqi sighing so sadly: "How long?"

"Two weeks!" Si Xiaoqi cast a sideways glance at Xiao Chen and said, "Master Xiao, you haven't checked the signboard of my slave's house for two weeks."

Xiao Chen put down the pad, reached out and patted Si Xiaoqi's face: "Daughter-in-law, we have been busy together recently."

"Yeah," Si Xiaoqi stretched, lying on the pillow and said, "But I'm very happy, I think it's good to live like this."

Xiao Chen understands Si Xiaoqi's meaning, two big men are together, each has his own career, each has his own responsibility, they are together because of love, but it does not mean that "love" must stick together every day.Xiao Chen sometimes chats with colleagues in the office, and they all complain that their girlfriends are either "double-sided tape" or "sticky buttons", and they want to stick them on their boyfriends 24 hours a day. Come.And the profession of a doctor is very special. Once there is an emergency, they can be called away with a phone call. It is commonplace for a surgery to fail for four or five hours, but girls can make up these brains into "You don't love me?" me."

Can we still talk about love?

Every time he hears these complaints, Xiao Chen stays silent, because as long as he speaks, he will properly sow hatred.More than once, everyone saw Si Xiaoqi waiting at the gate of the hospital early in the morning to pick up Xiao Chen from the night shift, and more than once Si Xiaoqi came to the inpatient department in the middle of the night to deliver supper to Xiao Chen who was on the night shift.

This is not "showing affection", it has almost become a way of life for them, every day or two, one month or two months, one year or two, for so many years, this scene will be staged every now and then, everyone It has changed from "pointing" and "sneering" to "envy, jealousy and hatred".

Yes, the most difficult thing about "love" is lasting, time is always the biggest killer of "love", Xiao Chen is very glad that he and Si Xiaoqi can stand hand in hand in the torrent of time and not be washed away.

Xiao Chen thought about this, and the corners of his mouth curled up nicely. Duan Shixin saw it from the side, and asked delicately: "Is there a date? You old men, why are you still so sticky?"

Xiao Chen rolled his eyelids, and said lightly: "I think you are quite free, please summarize today's operation, and leave it to me before noon tomorrow."

"I... Fuck, is there any humanity, is there any humanity!" Duan Shixin yelled, "Doctor Xiao, you are crushing us single dogs physically and psychologically!"

"You're just looking for abuse!" Xiao Chen stood up with a smile and went to change clothes, "Hurry up and write, I will accept homework tomorrow."

Duan Shixin put his fingers together and made a movement of wiping his neck between his throats.

◇◇◇

Si Xiaoqi invited Xiao Chen to eat at a Cantonese restaurant, which was not far from Jinghai Xinyuan, and the two of them planned to stroll back slowly after eating.On a night in early summer, it is quite pleasant to blow the evening breeze.

Si Xiaoqi flipped through the menu three times, then he raised his head and asked Xiao Chen, "Why are you clamoring for Cantonese food if you are allergic to seafood?"

Xiao Chen poured out two cups of tea, gently pushed one cup over, then took the menu and ordered five or six dishes neatly: "Didn't you say last week that you want to eat Sea Emperor in Coconut Cup?"

Si Xiaoqi remembered that he had gone out for a business meal that day, and when he came back he complained that the coconut cup sea emperor made in the restaurant was not authentic, and he was quite unhappy with the meal.

"Honey, I just said casually that you remember everything, I'm really touched." Si Xiaoqi wiped Xiao Chen's hand quickly, smiling all over his face.

"That's because you took 500 yuan from my wallet when you said that, saying that you were going to have another authentic meal." Xiao Chen glanced at Si Xiaoqi and said lightly, "I just want to Do you know which coconut cup sea emperor costs 500 yuan per customer?"

Si Xiaoqi smiled and didn't say a word. When he came home that day, he found a pile of bank cards in his wallet but no cash, so he took 500 spares from Xiao Chen's wallet. Naturally, he took the money without any grievances, just like what Xiao Chen said , "Look at the couple who can calculate the accounts so clearly."That's right, two people are together, hold each other's hands, give each other sincerity and trust, and this day can go on.Too many marriages mixed with money factors have become ridiculous and sad. Everyone faces their lover with the mentality of "prevention is indispensable". Mutual suspicion and defense make love wear out a little bit.

Therefore, when Xiao Chen laughed at Si Xiaoqi's 500 yuan per customer coconut cup Neptune, Si Xiaoqi was very calm.

The food was served very quickly, and the two chatted while eating slowly, talking about various topics, just like any pair of lovers. own food until I think of something or someone again.

Si Xiaoqi munched his mouth full of Yuexiu chicken, and suddenly remembered someone, and couldn't help laughing.

"Hey Xiao Chen," Si Xiaoqi said, "I think of Xia Zihan."

"Xia Zihan?" Xiao Chen asked strangely, "Why do you think of him?"

"I made an analogy back then. I think you are Chongqing Jiugongge hot pot, and Xia Zihan is Chaoshan seafood. You are better than him!"

"Does it smell like disinfectant?" Xiao Chen said with a smile.

"No no no," Si Xiaoqi said seriously, "I really think so, I just like your taste."

"Oh?" Xiao Chen said lightly, "You just like my perverted psychopath?"

"Yes!" Si Xiaoqi nodded vigorously, "Because I am not a normal person."

Xiao Chen smiled and said nothing, this topic is a bit far away, it happened several years ago.Later I heard that Xia Zihan went to France, and later I heard that Fang Sheng no longer took the French group, but instead specially picked up the domestic French travel group, and ran to France for three days or two days.But Si Xiaoqi and Xiao Chen didn't bother to inquire about those things, after all, that was their life.

"Xiao Chen," Si Xiaoqi said earnestly, holding up his chopsticks, "Let's go out and play when we're done with our work, we haven't had a serious holiday yet."

Xiao Chen nodded: "Okay, if the vacation is extended, I can spare 11 days of vacation, as long as Corey lets me go."

Excited, Si Xiaoqi immediately began to discuss with Xiao Chen where to go. Xiao Chen looked at Si Xiaoqi's wide-eyed smile, and thought that this man might really only show such a childlike smile in front of her—silly boy silly.

◇◇◇

Yes, Si Xiaoqi really only does this in front of Xiao Chen, someone can prove this, he is sitting not far from Si Xiaoqi.

Qiu Ye squinted his eyes and looked at that figure. He saw Si Xiaoqi's figure as soon as he stepped into the gate. After so many years, he was still tall and straight, wearing a decent and expensive suit, and the watch on his wrist was shining with a sapphire spherical Shine, the corners of his eyes and brows are still flying with the arrogant expression of the past, but now Si Xiaoqi seems to be more stable, every gesture exudes mature charm, every look is deep, and every smile can move people.

Qiu Ye clenched the chopsticks in his hand, and a flame rose in his heart. How could this man who lost his fortune appear here in such a posture?

"Qiu Ye," Lin Fang who was sitting opposite called out, "What are you thinking?"

"Ah... I'm thinking about the composition of a painting." Qiu Ye lowered his head, picking up the vegetables in the bowl, "I'm a little distracted."

"Are you listening to what I'm saying?" Lin Fang frowned dissatisfiedly, his words became cold and hard, "I'll talk about your going to Italy in two years!"

"Ah, after two years?" Qiu Ye finally came to his senses, he asked with a sullen face, "Why?"

"There's no reason, these two years have been inconvenient." Lin Fang irritably dropped his chopsticks and grabbed a napkin to wipe his hands.

"But you promised me that you will study in Italy next year!"

"What can we do in two years? Italy won't sink into the sea!" Lin Fang slapped his chopsticks on the table with a black face, bursting into anger, "Last year we said we were going to open a gallery, so I voted for you." More than 30 yuan, you will lose everything in less than half a year; at the beginning of this year, it was said to be a salon studio, but in three months, the next order was to paint the door for someone’s bar! You learn oil painting What kind of crow? Don’t you spend all your time in the bar playing like crazy?”

"I'm working!"

"Shut up!" Lin Fang shouted angrily in a low voice, "I'm warning you, please calm down, don't think that I can't take care of you because I'm busy recently, where did you put the 12 I gave you earlier? It won't be enough for me to spend it in a month, right?"

Qiu Ye's eyes flickered, and he said in a low voice: "It's still... in the account of the studio, but... I lent it to a friend a few days ago for a turnaround, and I can get it back next week."

Lin Fang stared fiercely at Qiu Ye, and said in a deep voice, "Behave yourself, don't play tricks under my nose!"

Qiu Ye twitched the corner of his mouth, revealing a plausible smile, his gaze passed over Lin Fang, and across a row of sparse green plants, onto a man's side face.That face had sharp lines and thick, flying eyebrows. Qiu Ye remembered that he had seen a kind of "infatuated" smile on that face.

Si Xiaoqi!

Qiu Ye lowered his head, and gently fiddled with the vegetable stalks on the plate - it was time to reconsider his future.
