my passenger is sleepy
Chapter 95
Guo Hong didn't really want to block Si Xiaoqi at the entrance of the hospital, but it was such a coincidence that when he walked out of the hospital gate after get off work, he saw Si Xiaoqi poking at the gate like a pillar.Charcoal black trousers, a snow-white shirt with dark patterns, the buttons on the collar are undone, and the sleeves are rolled up to the elbows. He is leaning against the small duty box at the exit of the parking lot with a cigarette in his mouth like a dog, following the car guards. Uncle chatting.The two of them each had a cigarette, and they chatted happily. The creases on the old man's face were like chrysanthemums blooming.
This big hen with a broken mouth and a flower tail!
Guo Hong stared at Si Xiaoqi viciously, feeling furious in his heart.In order to let Xiao Chen show his face on a bigger occasion, I took a lot of thought to get Xiao Chen into that academic meeting. As a result, this kid was abducted by this big hen in one night. The "married daughter" can't help but feel the sadness of the mother.
Si Xiaoqi was predicting the weekend's Chinese Super League match with the old man, and when he raised his eyes, he saw Guo Hong glaring at him.He immediately threw the cigarette butt into the trash can beside him, and walked over with a smile on his face.
Si Xiaoqi smiled very sincerely. He was very grateful to Guo Hong. Guo Hong had been helping Xiao Chen when he was in the most difficult time. Although this kind of "help" was for himself in the end, everyone who could support and help Xiao Chen Si Xiaoqi felt that he should be grateful to those who fulfilled their wishes.Among them, Si Xiaoqi was especially grateful to Guo Hong, because after Xiao Chen returned to the Department of Thoracic Surgery, Guo Hong had been training Xiao Chen as a backbone.Xiao Chen is only 35 years old, but his skills have improved a lot, and he has also completed several difficult operations. This start could not be better.
So when Si Xiaoqi walked towards Guo Hong, he was really grateful, but Guo Hong was extremely upset!He greeted Si Xiaoqi rather perfunctorily, with a look of "I'm very angry" in his eyes and brows.Who is Si Xiaoqi?A good hand at observing words and expressions, he immediately saw that Guo Hong's anger must be aimed at Xiao Chen or himself.So he immediately stood up respectfully: "Director Guo, are you coming home from get off work?"
Now that the matter is a foregone conclusion, Guo Hong didn't bother to explain to Si Xiaoqi how important that academic conference was to Xiao Chen, but he just stared at Si Xiaoqi for a few seconds and said coldly: "Well, I'm going first .”
"Ah, goodbye, Director Guo." Si Xiaoqi watched Guo Hong go away politely, then changed hands and stuffed Xiao Chen, who had just stepped out of the gate, into the car and began to torture him: "My wife, why did you Director Guo see me and tell me?" Yang Bailao sees Huang Shiren the same? It makes me always think that I have ruined his daughter."
"Don't talk nonsense, he was angry with me. I let him go." Xiao Chen leaned back in the chair comfortably and stretched his long legs. "He has been depressed all afternoon."
"Be careful, I'll tell him how many times you let me go, and he'll feel better after hearing that." Si Xiaoqi said angrily, and at the same time turned the steering wheel with his hands, and the car drove out smoothly.
"Where are you going?" Xiao Chen asked strangely, "Don't go this way when you go home."
"Go to the company, I forgot the bidding document in the company, I have to take it back and look at it, it's time to bid in a few days."
Xiao Chen knew about the bidding. There was an oil field in Inner Mongolia that needed to repair a platform. It needed about four convoys to transport materials and construction personnel. The construction period was six months.Anjie's will to this single life must be won. The entire company's senior management has been busy for more than two months, and now it has entered the final stage of tackling.At present, the company that can compete with Anjie is Shunda Company. This company is older than Anjie and has more relevant experience; but their vehicle conditions and team management are not as good as Anjie, and their prices are relatively high. This company is evenly matched, winning or losing is only a hair's breadth away.
"Is the odds high?" Xiao Chen asked.
"It's hard to say. Shunda's foundation is too strong. Our advantage is the car and the price. I don't know if we can hold it. We have been discussing how much to bid these days, and we have to report the bottom bid in two weeks. Once it’s reported, it can no longer be changed, so be careful.”
Xiao Chen stretched out his hand and patted Si Xiaoqi's knee and said, "Come on, daughter-in-law, earn a lot of money and come back."
"Well," Si Xiaoqi nodded with a smile, "I'll stay up with you tonight, you will see your garlic surgery, and I will see my tender."
Xiao Chen smiled, he actually enjoyed that state very much.In the big study room, two people are sitting in a corner, reading their own books. It seems that they are completely unrelated, but in fact, their breathing and heartbeat are at the same frequency.
◇◇◇
The next day, Xiao Chen underwent a seven-hour operation.This operation was indeed very difficult, Guo Hong resolutely let Xiao Chen perform the surgery, helped Xiao Chen to make sufficient preparations in advance, and took the initiative to act as his assistant.So Xiao Chen went to the stage under great pressure, and when the operation was finished, he was so tired that he almost collapsed, and moved back home with great difficulty.
Naturally, there was no one at home, so Xiao Chen took a shower and lay down on the bed with his laptop in his hand, and began to browse Ctrip. Although there are many hotels in Phuket, Si Xiaoqi really has too many things to do. Great facilities, great service, great food... most importantly... very private!Including these conditions, there are not many hotels to choose from, Xiao Chen only took half an hour to get it done.
After he paid, he silently muted his phone, and within 2 minutes, the name of his boss, Xiaoqi, jumped up and down on the screen of the phone.Xiao Chen looked at the flashing name with a smile, lay down comfortably under the quilt and closed his eyes - I won't answer the phone, I'm anxious for you, who told you not to let me go to the academic meeting.
Si Xiaoqi was really dying of anxiety. He was discussing the details of the bid with Qiao Xin, Zhang Hao, and Cheng Zihua when he suddenly received a text message from his mobile phone saying that a sum of money had been debited from his credit card.The credit card is in Xiao Chen's name, but it is Si Xiaoqi who puts money into it. In fact, all of Si Xiaoqi's money is in Xiao Chen's name. If Anjie really goes bankrupt and needs to liquidate its assets, the only person in his name is A house, and the deposit... Sorry, it will never exceed [-].
A man earns money to spend on his wife, and it is only natural for a wife to take care of the money. Si Xiaoqi feels that he is doing the right thing.
Xiao Chen combined his own salary with Si Xiaoqi's salary to pay for the family's daily expenses, and every amount of money flowing from the account would be sent to Si Xiaoqi's mobile phone through a bank SMS reminder.Xiao Chen said: "I am the cashier, and you are the accountant. I spend money and you keep the accounts. This division of labor is very good."
Si Xiaoqi also thought it was quite good, he used to worry that Xiao Chen would feel awkward when he became "rich", and would think of something out of tune.But in fact Xiao Chen didn't care at all how rich he was, and the life of the two of them was always maintained at an upper-middle level, comfortable but not extravagant.
Xiao Chen understands why Si Xiaoqi puts the money in his own name, and Si Xiaoqi also understands Xiao Chen's good intentions in leaving his mobile phone number in the bank.
This is so good.
However, at this moment, Si Xiaoqi was really anxious looking at the text message on the phone, of course he would not be anxious about the little money, the money he was anxious to pay to Ctrip!Xiao Chen placed an order on Ctrip, what could it be?It can't be sexy underwear, right?The words "Phuket Island" bounced back and forth in Si Xiaoqi's mind, making him flustered.He called Xiao Chen, but there was no answer there. He called the department, and Duan Shixin said that Dr. Xiao had gone home.Si Xiaoqi couldn't sit still anymore, he opened Ctrip's page and entered his account number and password, and immediately saw the latest order.He stared at the screen with a slight smile, as if he saw a million-dollar lottery ticket.
"Brother, are you okay?" Cheng Zihua asked timidly.
Si Xiaoqi turned his gaze to look at Cheng Zihua with tenderness, which made Cheng Zi tremble with fright.
Si Xiaoqi said softly: "It's okay... Do you think this bid is okay?"
"Okay, okay... I'll scan and listen to the news again, so be careful." Cheng Zihua touched his arm quietly, feeling goosebumps were frightened by Si Xiaoqi.
Qiao Xin nodded in agreement, "Our company's profits for half a year are all in it, and besides, everyone in such a big news circle knows it. If we don't win this bid, our reputation will not be very good."
"Then you all work harder," Si Xiaoqi said very without revolutionary sentiments, "fight for victory, and besides, I will be on vacation at the end of next month."
"Vacation?" Zhang Hao yelled strangely, "If the company is so busy after winning the bid, why are you going on vacation at this time? No!"
"Then you can fire me, or I will resign."
Zhang Hao looked angrily at Si Xiaoqi's yelling arrogantly with his big tail pouted, and for a moment he really wanted to throw him out the window.
◇◇◇
Two weeks later, Si Xiaoqi handed in the tender against the deadline.
Xiao Chen happened to be resting that day, so he personally drove Si Xiaoqi to deliver the tender.Si Xiaoqi pinched the thick stack of documents in his hand and said, "This year's profit depends on it."
Xiao Chen doesn't know much about Si Xiaoqi's business experience, but he is a good listener: "Don't be so nervous, don't you vote for this kind of bid every year?"
"This is different," Si Xiaoqi sighed and said with a frown. "The oil field is a state-owned enterprise, and this is only the first phase of the project. There will be more in the future. If we can win this bid, the income in the next three years will be [-]%. It is guaranteed. Besides, winning it is equivalent to taking the lead in the industry, and Anjie's status in the circle will be different in the future."
Xiao Chen took a quick glance at Si Xiaoqi, and felt that his daughter-in-law's frowning didn't look handsome anymore.So he freed up a hand to grab Si Xiaoqi's hand: "Don't worry, I will want you if you win the bid or not. It's great that I will support you."
Si Xiaoqi unexpectedly didn't pretend to be crazy, he turned his head to look at Xiao Chen: "How long?"
Xiao Chen was taken aback by Si Xiaoqi's reaction. In his heart, Si Xiaoqi should pinch the orchid finger at this moment and say coquettishly, "Master Xiao, you're making fun of my family again. I don't agree with you." This kind of shemale painting style is in line with Si Xiaoqi's characteristics, and now the president, Fan Er, looks a little strange - although he is very handsome.
Xiao Chen said seriously, "It's not that I haven't raised chickens before. At least I have been the head of a chicken farm for more than two years. I don't care if I work for a few more years."
Si Xiaoqi turned his gaze, looked at the street scene outside the car window and said, "I dare not fail, the [-]th person in the company wants to eat."
Xiao Chen's heart softened, he could especially understand Si Xiaoqi's mood, as he would say to himself every time he stood on the operating table, "You can't fail, the joys, sorrows, sorrows and joys of dozens of people in a family are all tied up in the heart." on this man."
Responsibilities and pressures are increasing every day. The "cool, handsome and domineering president" in outsiders' jokes actually has distress and fear that he can't understand for outsiders. He will lie on the bed and hug himself and say: "I'm exhausted, I'm exhausted!" I don't want to go to work!"
Xiao Chen thought distressedly, it was a wise decision to skip the academic meeting and go on vacation, Si Xiaoqi really needed to rest.He turned the steering wheel and took the topic away, "We will be able to go to Phuket in ten days, let's pack up our things in these two days."
Si Xiaoqi finally smiled, and he said, "Just pack it up, and don't forget to take me with you when the time comes."
Xiao Chen started his vacation on the 20th, the bidding result was announced on the 21st, and the air ticket was on the 22nd, so the schedule was very tight.Si Xiaoqi has been on "vacation" with Xiao Chen since NO.20, but he is not very comfortable wandering around the house.
"Go and pack the boxes," Xiao Chen ordered Si Xiaoqi, "so that you won't be wandering around restlessly and getting dizzy looking at it."
Si Xiaoqi looked at the large suitcase at the entrance and the pile of clothes on the bed in the bedroom, and felt a little more relaxed.Yes, in another forty or so hours, he will be able to fly to the Sunshine Coast with his wife.After all, Xiao Chen turned down that academic association to accompany him on vacation. After nearly seven years of fierce fighting with his wife on the idea of "working hard to improve professional skills", he finally made a historic breakthrough and overwhelmed his opponent. Qi felt elated.
He still remembers that day when he rushed home in a hurry, dug Xiao Chen out of the bed and kept asking him if he had decided to go to Phuket with him. Feeling full and full of energy, Xiao Chen pushed up and down on the bed to eat and wipe clean.
But that's okay, he enjoyed it a lot.
"Cat," Si Xiaoqi asked while putting clothes in the box, "Why didn't you tell me about your leave that night, it made me depressed all night."
"How can I tell you if you haven't asked for leave? What if the higher-ups don't approve?"
"The other day you said that Guo Hong was very angry because you released pigeons. Is it because of this?"
Xiao Chen smiled: "He was really angry that day."
Si Xiaoqi suddenly stopped what he was doing and looked at Xiao Chen blankly, as if he understood something.
"Wife," Si Xiaoqi said seriously, "tell me the truth, is that academic conference particularly important?"
"That's how to say," Xiao Chen said casually, "If you participate, you can't be promoted to be the dean, and if you don't participate, you won't be laid off and wait for employment."
"Then why is Guo Hong so angry?"
"Because the participants in that meeting were all masters, all of them were authoritative experts, and he wanted me to get acquainted."
Si Xiaoqi is not a fledgling idiot, he understood the key point as soon as he heard it.He dropped the clothes in his hand and grabbed Xiao Chen, and said with a stern face: "Why didn't you say it at the time? How important is this meeting? It's hosted by the Chinese Medical Association. If you can speak at that meeting, you have to What level of person, you...how could you just give up? I, I, I really didn't expect at first..."
"All right, all right," Xiao Chen interrupted Si Xiaoqi, patted him reassuringly and said, "You think I'm going to show my face, no! I'm going, and those gangsters have to take me If I hold a criticism meeting for my surgical case, I will definitely be criticized to pieces. How embarrassing is that? This is not a face-showing meeting, but a face-slapping meeting. It’s okay if I don’t go, I can go after two years when I have the capital. someone else's face."
"But……"
"It's nothing to worry about," Xiao Chen said resolutely, "it's a foregone conclusion, there's nothing to say, if you really feel guilty, you can cook a few meals, you've been messing things up more and more lately , I have a lot of opinions."
Si Xiaoqi opened his mouth but was speechless, his heart warmed up, and he wished he could turn himself into a little master of China immediately.
When he was about to ask Xiao Chen what he wanted for dinner, the phone rang suddenly.
"Yo, Director Sun," Si Xiaoqi put on a smiling official voice and said, "What do you want me to do?"
Xiao Chen couldn't help being amused watching him change his face to look like a Sichuan opera.Just about to take over to pack the boxes, Si Xiaoqi exclaimed, "Really?"
Si Xiaoqi's eyes were wide open, his voice was raised twice, he was clutching the phone tightly, his knuckles pressed against his skin so pale.
"Are you sure? Is there still a chance to turn things around? Has the bid been sealed? We can lower it again...is it...?" Si Xiaoqi's voice gradually sank, with deep frustration and loss, "Then... …thank you for letting me know."
Xiao Chen put down the clothes in his hand, and walked two steps to Si Xiaoqi: "The bidding is not going well?"
Si Xiaoqi nodded and forced a smile: "I lost."
"Hold……"
"It's okay." Si Xiaoqi stretched out his arms and hugged Xiao Chen, "I'm used to businessmen often losing money."
"Well," Xiao Chen hugged Si Xiaoqi's waist tightly, "It's okay, we can afford it!"
These words are really familiar, Si Xiaoqi said it to Xiao Chen back then, but now hearing Xiao Chen say it, the feeling is completely different, warmer and more at ease.
"I originally planned to change you to a bigger house next year."
"Give me a break, this house can kill me if I clean it." Xiao Chen quickly dispelled Si Xiaoqi's thoughts.
Si Xiaoqi stopped talking, just put his head on Xiao Chen's shoulder, and sighed deeply: "The whole company has been busy for two months, and more than 30 yuan was thrown in, and it's gone."
"How could it be gone?" Xiao Chen said, "For more than 30 yuan, you bought a new car, refurbished the old car, found a planning and publicity company... and treated guests to several expensive dinners under the pretext of making connections, okay? The material is all in your stomach, and speaking of it, the compensation of more than 30 yuan is not much."
Si Xiaoqi frowned and said, "Why do I feel that not only did I not lose money, but I also made money when I heard you say that?"
"It's not a loss at all," Xiao Chen stretched out his hand to rub Si Xiaoqi's cheek, and brushed his fingertips over the thick eyebrows. This man who is almost 40 years old has entered the most beautiful time of his life. He is mature, free and easy, possessing extraordinary The most important thing is that he has never despaired, and there is always a bright brilliance between his brows - of course, it is in front of outsiders, but in front of himself, this man has more sincerity and delicacy, and more Trust and weakness.
"You've been earning money. You see, you've earned a company and a family in just six years, and you have a group of devoted brothers. You're a winner in life." Xiao Chen patted him on the back and said, "It's great. "
Si Xiaoqi was silent for a while, then said with a wry smile: "Actually, this time I lost badly, how many people have to wait to see the joke."
Xiao Chen blinked, "Those who are waiting to read the joke are envious and jealous. Why didn't anyone read the joke when Lin Fang sold half of the company?"
"It's a joke if he doesn't sell it." Si Xiaoqi kissed Xiao Chen on the forehead and said, "Honey, according to what you say, I feel that being laughed at is a special thing."
"It took only six years to account for a quarter of the passenger traffic in Anhai City. I think this achievement itself is 'face'!"
Si Xiaoqi thought for a while and said, "That's right, it's better than if I ruined the company."
Xiao Chen nodded with a smile, pulled Si Xiaoqi's hand away and pushed him: "So continue to struggle and earn money for me."
◇◇◇
Si Xiaoqi called Qiao Xin, Cheng Zihua and Zhang Hao, and the four of them drove to find Director Sun of a familiar bidding company to inquire about the situation.It turned out that Anjie had always had a great chance of winning, but Shunda's final bid was three points lower than Anjie's. Party A hesitated for many days and finally decided to use Shunda.
"This bid is lost, what should we do next?" Zhang Hao quickly began to arrange the follow-up work. He told Cheng Zihua, "Too much money was invested in the early stage, and the turnover on the company's books is not much. It has to be earned back in the second half of the year."
Cheng Zihua and Qiao Xin put forward their opinions one after another, and the three of them quickly plunged into a heated discussion, excluding Si Xiaoqi from the circle.
Si Xiaoqi was struggling a bit. In the current situation, he should be in charge of the company, but what about the honeymoon? Xiao Chen rejected a very important academic meeting because of this, and it is very likely that the evaluation of his professional title and future development will be delayed.If I put down the pick at this time, how would I face Xiao Chen?
Cheng Zihua raised his head in the middle of his speech and said, "Okay, brother, you can go, we can do the rest."
"Don't worry, you can go on vacation in a down-to-earth manner, and just think about bringing us gifts back." Qiao Xin said without raising her head.
"Hurry up, hurry up, give us a chance to play with the company." Zhang Hao said half-truthfully.
Si Xiaoqi struggled for a while, gritted his teeth and left the office. On the way home, he felt cold in his palms.Every time he drove one meter forward, he wanted to turn around and go back. It was his company. At this time, he should work with Qiao Xin and the others to solve the problem together.
However, Xiao Chen was waiting for him.
When Si Xiaoqi opened the door and entered the room, he tried to make himself smile more naturally. Xiao Chen was watching TV in the living room, and there was a takeaway lunch box on the dining table, which had not been opened yet.
"Have you eaten yet?" Xiao Chen turned to ask him, "If you haven't eaten, change your clothes and come eat, I'll heat it up for you."
Si Xiaoqi nodded and went upstairs and pushed open the bedroom door, the two large suitcases were no longer in the bedroom, Si Xiaoqi thought for a while and it seemed that they were not in the entrance either.Opening the closet door, one piece of clothing was neatly stacked, many of which he had just put into the suitcase a few hours ago.
Si Xiaoqi closed the closet door and went back downstairs.Xiao Chen turned on the microwave oven in the kitchen, Si Xiaoqi circled him from behind: "Why did you put the clothes away again?"
Xiao Chen patted his hand and said: "Phuket Island won't sink again, when can't we go, let's settle the company's affairs first, that's our retirement capital."
"sorry."
Xiao Chen tilted his head and rubbed against Si Xiaoqi's, and said with a straight face, "You actually said 'I'm sorry' to me."
Si Xiaoqi turned his head to kiss Xiao Chen, that kiss was full of gratitude and happiness.
With a lover by your side, isn't it a honeymoon one day?
This big hen with a broken mouth and a flower tail!
Guo Hong stared at Si Xiaoqi viciously, feeling furious in his heart.In order to let Xiao Chen show his face on a bigger occasion, I took a lot of thought to get Xiao Chen into that academic meeting. As a result, this kid was abducted by this big hen in one night. The "married daughter" can't help but feel the sadness of the mother.
Si Xiaoqi was predicting the weekend's Chinese Super League match with the old man, and when he raised his eyes, he saw Guo Hong glaring at him.He immediately threw the cigarette butt into the trash can beside him, and walked over with a smile on his face.

"Be careful, I'll tell him how many times you let me go, and he'll feel better after hearing that." Si Xiaoqi said angrily, and at the same time turned the steering wheel with his hands, and the car drove out smoothly.
"Where are you going?" Xiao Chen asked strangely, "Don't go this way when you go home."
"Go to the company, I forgot the bidding document in the company, I have to take it back and look at it, it's time to bid in a few days."
Xiao Chen knew about the bidding. There was an oil field in Inner Mongolia that needed to repair a platform. It needed about four convoys to transport materials and construction personnel. The construction period was six months.Anjie's will to this single life must be won. The entire company's senior management has been busy for more than two months, and now it has entered the final stage of tackling.At present, the company that can compete with Anjie is Shunda Company.

Xiao Chen stretched out his hand and patted Si Xiaoqi's knee and said, "Come on, daughter-in-law, earn a lot of money and come back."
"Well," Si Xiaoqi nodded with a smile, "I'll stay up with you tonight, you will see your garlic surgery, and I will see my tender."
Xiao Chen smiled, he actually enjoyed that state very much.In the big study room, two people are sitting in a corner, reading their own books. It seems that they are completely unrelated, but in fact, their breathing and heartbeat are at the same frequency.

"Brother, are you okay?" Cheng Zihua asked timidly.
Si Xiaoqi turned his gaze to look at Cheng Zihua with tenderness, which made Cheng Zi tremble with fright.

Besides, winning it is equivalent to taking the lead in the industry, and Anjie's status in the circle will be different in the future."
Xiao Chen took a quick glance at Si Xiaoqi, and felt that his daughter-in-law's frowning didn't look handsome anymore.So he freed up a hand to grab Si Xiaoqi's hand: "Don't worry, I will want you if you win the bid or not. It's great that I will support you."
Si Xiaoqi unexpectedly didn't pretend to be crazy, he turned his head to look at Xiao Chen: "How long?"
Xiao Chen was taken aback by Si Xiaoqi's reaction. In his heart, Si Xiaoqi should pinch the orchid finger at this moment and say coquettishly, "Master Xiao, you're making fun of my family again. I don't agree with you." This kind of shemale painting style is in line with Si Xiaoqi's characteristics, and now the president, Fan Er, looks a little strange - although he is very handsome.
Xiao Chen said seriously, "It's not that I haven't raised chickens before. At least I have been the head of a chicken farm for more than two years. I don't care if I work for a few more years."
Si Xiaoqi turned his gaze, looked at the street scene outside the car window and said, "I dare not fail, the [-]th person in the company wants to eat."
Xiao Chen's heart softened, he could especially understand Si Xiaoqi's mood, as he would say to himself every time he stood on the operating table, "You can't fail, the joys, sorrows, sorrows and joys of dozens of people in a family are all tied up in the heart." on this man."
Responsibilities and pressures are increasing every day. The "cool, handsome and domineering president" in outsiders' jokes actually has distress and fear that he can't understand for outsiders. He will lie on the bed and hug himself and say: "I'm exhausted, I'm exhausted!" I don't want to go to work!"
Xiao Chen thought distressedly, it was a wise decision to skip the academic meeting and go on vacation, Si Xiaoqi really needed to rest.He turned the steering wheel and took the topic away, "We will be able to go to Phuket in ten days, let's pack up our things in these two days."
Si Xiaoqi finally smiled, and he said, "Just pack it up, and don't forget to take me with you when the time comes."
Xiao Chen started his vacation on the 20th, the bidding result was announced on the 21st, and the air ticket was on the 22nd, so the schedule was very tight.Si Xiaoqi has been on "vacation" with Xiao Chen since NO.20, but he is not very comfortable wandering around the house.
"Go and pack the boxes," Xiao Chen ordered Si Xiaoqi, "so that you won't be wandering around restlessly and getting dizzy looking at it."
Si Xiaoqi looked at the large suitcase at the entrance and the pile of clothes on the bed in the bedroom, and felt a little more relaxed.Yes, in another forty or so hours, he will be able to fly to the Sunshine Coast with his wife.After all, Xiao Chen turned down that academic association to accompany him on vacation. After nearly seven years of fierce fighting with his wife on the idea of "working hard to improve professional skills", he finally made a historic breakthrough and overwhelmed his opponent. Qi felt elated.
He still remembers that day when he rushed home in a hurry, dug Xiao Chen out of the bed and kept asking him if he had decided to go to Phuket with him. Feeling full and full of energy, Xiao Chen pushed up and down on the bed to eat and wipe clean.
But that's okay, he enjoyed it a lot.
"Cat," Si Xiaoqi asked while putting clothes in the box, "Why didn't you tell me about your leave that night, it made me depressed all night."
"How can I tell you if you haven't asked for leave? What if the higher-ups don't approve?"
"The other day you said that Guo Hong was very angry because you released pigeons. Is it because of this?"
Xiao Chen smiled: "He was really angry that day."
Si Xiaoqi suddenly stopped what he was doing and looked at Xiao Chen blankly, as if he understood something.
"Wife," Si Xiaoqi said seriously, "tell me the truth, is that academic conference particularly important?"
"That's how to say," Xiao Chen said casually, "If you participate, you can't be promoted to be the dean, and if you don't participate, you won't be laid off and wait for employment."
"Then why is Guo Hong so angry?"
"Because the participants in that meeting were all masters, all of them were authoritative experts, and he wanted me to get acquainted."
Si Xiaoqi is not a fledgling idiot, he understood the key point as soon as he heard it.He dropped the clothes in his hand and grabbed Xiao Chen, and said with a stern face: "Why didn't you say it at the time? How important is this meeting? It's hosted by the Chinese Medical Association. If you can speak at that meeting, you have to What level of person, you...how could you just give up? I, I, I really didn't expect at first..."
"All right, all right," Xiao Chen interrupted Si Xiaoqi, patted him reassuringly and said, "You think I'm going to show my face, no! I'm going, and those gangsters have to take me If I hold a criticism meeting for my surgical case, I will definitely be criticized to pieces. How embarrassing is that? This is not a face-showing meeting, but a face-slapping meeting. It’s okay if I don’t go, I can go after two years when I have the capital. someone else's face."
"But……"
"It's nothing to worry about," Xiao Chen said resolutely, "it's a foregone conclusion, there's nothing to say, if you really feel guilty, you can cook a few meals, you've been messing things up more and more lately , I have a lot of opinions."
Si Xiaoqi opened his mouth but was speechless, his heart warmed up, and he wished he could turn himself into a little master of China immediately.
When he was about to ask Xiao Chen what he wanted for dinner, the phone rang suddenly.
"Yo, Director Sun," Si Xiaoqi put on a smiling official voice and said, "What do you want me to do?"
Xiao Chen couldn't help being amused watching him change his face to look like a Sichuan opera.Just about to take over to pack the boxes, Si Xiaoqi exclaimed, "Really?"
Si Xiaoqi's eyes were wide open, his voice was raised twice, he was clutching the phone tightly, his knuckles pressed against his skin so pale.
"Are you sure? Is there still a chance to turn things around? Has the bid been sealed? We can lower it again...is it...?" Si Xiaoqi's voice gradually sank, with deep frustration and loss, "Then... …thank you for letting me know."
Xiao Chen put down the clothes in his hand, and walked two steps to Si Xiaoqi: "The bidding is not going well?"
Si Xiaoqi nodded and forced a smile: "I lost."
"Hold……"
"It's okay." Si Xiaoqi stretched out his arms and hugged Xiao Chen, "I'm used to businessmen often losing money."
"Well," Xiao Chen hugged Si Xiaoqi's waist tightly, "It's okay, we can afford it!"
These words are really familiar, Si Xiaoqi said it to Xiao Chen back then, but now hearing Xiao Chen say it, the feeling is completely different, warmer and more at ease.
"I originally planned to change you to a bigger house next year."
"Give me a break, this house can kill me if I clean it." Xiao Chen quickly dispelled Si Xiaoqi's thoughts.
Si Xiaoqi stopped talking, just put his head on Xiao Chen's shoulder, and sighed deeply: "The whole company has been busy for two months, and more than 30 yuan was thrown in, and it's gone."
"How could it be gone?" Xiao Chen said, "For more than 30 yuan, you bought a new car, refurbished the old car, found a planning and publicity company... and treated guests to several expensive dinners under the pretext of making connections, okay? The material is all in your stomach, and speaking of it, the compensation of more than 30 yuan is not much."
Si Xiaoqi frowned and said, "Why do I feel that not only did I not lose money, but I also made money when I heard you say that?"
"It's not a loss at all," Xiao Chen stretched out his hand to rub Si Xiaoqi's cheek, and brushed his fingertips over the thick eyebrows. This man who is almost 40 years old has entered the most beautiful time of his life. He is mature, free and easy, possessing extraordinary The most important thing is that he has never despaired, and there is always a bright brilliance between his brows - of course, it is in front of outsiders, but in front of himself, this man has more sincerity and delicacy, and more Trust and weakness.
"You've been earning money. You see, you've earned a company and a family in just six years, and you have a group of devoted brothers. You're a winner in life." Xiao Chen patted him on the back and said, "It's great. "
Si Xiaoqi was silent for a while, then said with a wry smile: "Actually, this time I lost badly, how many people have to wait to see the joke."
Xiao Chen blinked, "Those who are waiting to read the joke are envious and jealous. Why didn't anyone read the joke when Lin Fang sold half of the company?"
"It's a joke if he doesn't sell it." Si Xiaoqi kissed Xiao Chen on the forehead and said, "Honey, according to what you say, I feel that being laughed at is a special thing."
"It took only six years to account for a quarter of the passenger traffic in Anhai City. I think this achievement itself is 'face'!"
Si Xiaoqi thought for a while and said, "That's right, it's better than if I ruined the company."
Xiao Chen nodded with a smile, pulled Si Xiaoqi's hand away and pushed him: "So continue to struggle and earn money for me."
◇◇◇
Si Xiaoqi called Qiao Xin, Cheng Zihua and Zhang Hao, and the four of them drove to find Director Sun of a familiar bidding company to inquire about the situation.It turned out that Anjie had always had a great chance of winning, but Shunda's final bid was three points lower than Anjie's. Party A hesitated for many days and finally decided to use Shunda.
"This bid is lost, what should we do next?" Zhang Hao quickly began to arrange the follow-up work. He told Cheng Zihua, "Too much money was invested in the early stage, and the turnover on the company's books is not much. It has to be earned back in the second half of the year."
Cheng Zihua and Qiao Xin put forward their opinions one after another, and the three of them quickly plunged into a heated discussion, excluding Si Xiaoqi from the circle.
Si Xiaoqi was struggling a bit. In the current situation, he should be in charge of the company, but what about the honeymoon? Xiao Chen rejected a very important academic meeting because of this, and it is very likely that the evaluation of his professional title and future development will be delayed.If I put down the pick at this time, how would I face Xiao Chen?
Cheng Zihua raised his head in the middle of his speech and said, "Okay, brother, you can go, we can do the rest."
"Don't worry, you can go on vacation in a down-to-earth manner, and just think about bringing us gifts back." Qiao Xin said without raising her head.
"Hurry up, hurry up, give us a chance to play with the company." Zhang Hao said half-truthfully.
Si Xiaoqi struggled for a while, gritted his teeth and left the office. On the way home, he felt cold in his palms.Every time he drove one meter forward, he wanted to turn around and go back. It was his company. At this time, he should work with Qiao Xin and the others to solve the problem together.
However, Xiao Chen was waiting for him.
When Si Xiaoqi opened the door and entered the room, he tried to make himself smile more naturally. Xiao Chen was watching TV in the living room, and there was a takeaway lunch box on the dining table, which had not been opened yet.
"Have you eaten yet?" Xiao Chen turned to ask him, "If you haven't eaten, change your clothes and come eat, I'll heat it up for you."
Si Xiaoqi nodded and went upstairs and pushed open the bedroom door, the two large suitcases were no longer in the bedroom, Si Xiaoqi thought for a while and it seemed that they were not in the entrance either.Opening the closet door, one piece of clothing was neatly stacked, many of which he had just put into the suitcase a few hours ago.
Si Xiaoqi closed the closet door and went back downstairs.Xiao Chen turned on the microwave oven in the kitchen, Si Xiaoqi circled him from behind: "Why did you put the clothes away again?"
Xiao Chen patted his hand and said: "Phuket Island won't sink again, when can't we go, let's settle the company's affairs first, that's our retirement capital."
"sorry."
Xiao Chen tilted his head and rubbed against Si Xiaoqi's, and said with a straight face, "You actually said 'I'm sorry' to me."
Si Xiaoqi turned his head to kiss Xiao Chen, that kiss was full of gratitude and happiness.
With a lover by your side, isn't it a honeymoon one day?
