Retreat

He Yu stood in front of the mirror and took a deep breath.

He got up early in the morning and took a shower. Now that the fog in the bathroom was still there, he wiped the mirror with his hands so that he could see himself clearly inside.The spirit is not bad, and there is no anxiety in his expression, but there are a few hickey marks on his collarbone, but that is not important, he will wear a suit and tie today, and these marks will not be seen by others.He just wanted to tell himself, it's okay, you can do it, don't be afraid of anything.

He Yu went back upstairs to change clothes, while Qiao Mudong was still sleeping.After He Yu got up, he grabbed a large quilt and hugged him in his arms, like a restless child.

As if awakened by the sound of He Yu opening the cabinet, Qiao Mudong raised his head in astonishment, looked at him blankly, then lay back down, turned over and said, "Are you awake?"

He Yu put on his shirt, was buttoning it up, and said, "Well, you are fine and go on to sleep."

Qiao Mudong raised his hands and rubbed his face, "Let's drive."

He Yu straightened his sleeves, "No, I'll take the bus."

Qiao Mudong was silent for a while, He Yu thought he fell asleep again, and suddenly heard him say: "I'll take you there?"

He Yu had already tied his tie at this time, and said: "Go to sleep, don't worry about me. There is milk and cake in the refrigerator, remember to have breakfast when you wake up."

Qiao Mudong said, "I don't want to eat those."

He Yu said helplessly: "I have to go out, what do you want to eat, get up and eat by yourself."

Qiao Mudong waved, "Come here."

He Yu knelt on the side of the bed, lowered his head and asked him, "What's wrong?"

Qiao Mudong raised his hand to hook his head, and kissed him on the lips, "Just come back from work if you are unhappy, and don't serve others."

He Yu smiled and said, "Okay." Then he lowered his head and kissed Qiao Mudong's forehead, and then went downstairs to go out.

Qiao Mudong was lying on the bed, just when he heard He Yu closing the door, his cell phone beside the bed rang.

It was Ling Qiang who called, with a very serious tone, "Come out at noon, and the family will have dinner together."

Qiao Mudong said lazily, "Okay."

Ling Qiang didn't seem to want to talk to him more, so he hung up the phone quickly.

Qiao Mudong lay on the bed for a while, and the sleepiness had completely dissipated, so he simply got up.

He Yu squeezed onto the bus with his briefcase in hand.It was the morning rush hour, and he was squeezed into the crowd, almost unable to move, and finally swiped his card.

He Yu hadn't recovered from the embarrassment all the way to the bottom of the office building where Ou Yunjia's company was located. He could only tidy up in front of the mirror in the hall, took a deep breath and walked towards the elevator.

He Yu came quite early, when he got out of the elevator, he happened to see Ou Yunjia coming out of the opposite elevator.

When Ou Yunjia saw him, she immediately came up to shake his hand with a smile, and then invited him to her office.

Ou Yunjia went into the office, took off her coat, and said with a smile: "This is not a big company like Lingyun, so there's no need to dress so formally every day, just be casual."

He Yu nodded.

Ou Yunjia pointed to the chair in front of her desk, "Come and sit."

The two sat down facing each other, Ou Yunjia took a booklet from the table and handed it to He Yu, "Let's have a look first."

The name of the electronic technology company that Ou Yunjia registered is Tengxiang, which probably means Tengfei soaring. The brochure he handed to He Yu is an advertising brochure newly printed by the company, mainly for customers and partners. , things like company philosophy, business content.

He Yu took it very seriously.

Ou Yunjia stood up, opened the curtains behind her, and the morning sun suddenly shone in, making the whole office much brighter, and He Yu couldn't help but squinted her eyes.

Ou Yunjia's tone was very sincere, "You were introduced by Ma Tian, ​​so I'll tell you directly, and I won't go around the bush. The company has just started, and its main business is website construction, optimization, and software application development. As the scale expands, these will gradually increase and change. You are studying electronic information engineering, and you were very good at software development when you were studying. I don’t want you to engage in sales. I think you can work harder on technology.”

He Yu was also very serious and nodded, "I also hope that I can develop in the direction of technology. After all, that is my major and my interest."

Ou Yunjia said: "Our current technical team has less than ten people, and there are less than five people who can really be independent. This job will be very stressful and very hard. Another point is that the salary is not high, mainly business commissions , that means we share weal and woe, if we do more work and do better, everyone will get more bonuses, otherwise no one will get any money, so don’t expect to dawdle.”

He Yu said: "I understand."

Ou Yunjia continued: "However, what I just said is based on the basic condition that our company has just started. Do you understand what I mean? He Yu, what I need is a group of partners who can work hard with me to start a business. I believe we It is enough to be able to work together to make Tengxiang better and better, and when we recall this difficult time in the future, everyone can laugh and feel emotional together."

I have to say that what Ou Yunjia said was very provocative to He Yu.No matter how difficult or difficult the days were, he has survived them. Compared with them, being able to fight for his ideals is already a kind of happiness.

"Ou Ge," He Yu said, "I think I can do it."

Ou Yunjia smiled and stretched out a hand, "Welcome."

He Yu raised his hand and held him tightly.

Later, Ou Yunjia talked with him in detail about many details of work and remuneration. He knew that He Yu was out of touch with work for a while, and suggested that he read more books and study more. He arranged for him to work with an experienced technical engineer when he first started working. , Work while familiarizing yourself with the environment.

Afterwards, Ou Yunjia personally introduced He Yu to the colleagues in the company, and asked them to help him arrange a seat and a computer.The engineer responsible for leading He Yu's work is called Zhang Qin. He is in his 30s and has a very easy-going personality.On He Yu's first day at work, he arranged for him to read some materials, many of which were development projects of the previous company, and then told him to take his time with other things.

At noon, He Yu naturally didn't have time to go back to eat, so he followed his colleagues to find a small restaurant nearby to eat. At this time, Qiao Mudong had already driven to have lunch with Ling's family.

Ling Qiang decided to eat at a small but high-grade Chinese restaurant in the city, probably because it suits his taste, so he can be regarded as a frequent visitor to the restaurant.

When Qiao Mudong arrived, everyone else had arrived, and the waiter led him to the quiet and elegant private room Ling Qiang used to want. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Ling Zhilu sitting next to Zhou Xuelan. The mother and daughter were flipping through a picture album. They were excitedly discussing where to take wedding photos, and where to go for honeymoon.

On the other side, Fu Chenshan was chatting with Ling Qiang. The whole family looked very harmonious, except for Qiao Mudong who was a different kind.

As soon as Ling Qiang saw Qiao Mudong, his soft face immediately collapsed, "Why is it so late?"

Qiao Mudong said, "Traffic jam."

No matter what, in a big city, traffic jams are always the best excuse for being late.

Ling Zhilu didn't even look at Qiao Mudong, Zhou Xuelan forced a smile, and finally Fu Chenshan stood up and asked him to sit down.

The table was not small, but the seats had already been removed and there were only five left. Qiao Mudong walked to the other side beside Ling Qiang, and sat down at the last empty seat.

Qiao Mudong looked at Fu Chenshan, raised his head and said, "You're in a hurry to hold the wedding before your injury heals?"

When Ling Zhilu heard this, she suddenly gritted her teeth with hatred, "You still have the face to say it!"

But Fu Chenshan smiled nonchalantly, "It's okay, the doctor said that the swelling will subside in a few days, and the wedding may take two months, so let's take wedding photos first."

Ling Zhilu heard this and said to Ling Qiang, "I'm going to Maldives to take wedding photos."

Fu Chenshan persuaded her, "Zhilu, I don't have that much time."

Ling Zhilu showed displeasure, "Why don't you have time? It's just taking a photo, how much time will it take for you?"

Ling Qiang said, "You arrange it yourself."

The door of the private room was gently pushed open, and the waiter began to serve the food.

Ling Qiang asked Qiao Mudong: "Have you had a good time these few days?"

Qiao Mudong felt a little hungry, so he reached out and took a piece of crystal dumpling from the plate in front of him, put it into his mouth, and said, "It's pretty good."

Ling Qiang snorted coldly, "Are you going to play like this for the rest of your life?"

Qiao Mudong didn't speak, he swallowed the dumplings in two gulps, and took a sip of tea.

Qiao Mudong's previous seat was occupied by Fu Chenshan, and Ling Qiang promised it to him, so it is naturally impossible to take it back.But after all, Qiao Mudong's suspension was just a temporary decision to comfort Fu Chenshan, even if Qiao Mudong could continue playing with peace of mind, Ling Qiang would not let him go.

Fu Chenshan naturally understood these things, no matter how dissatisfied he was, he would not show it now.

Sure enough, Ling Qiang then said to Qiao Mudong: "Let's leave it to you to handle the construction of the new Lingyun."

Qiao Mudong was stunned for a moment, his face didn't change, and he didn't immediately refuse, but asked back: "New Lingyun investment? Didn't you negotiate with Di Hong?"

Ling Qiang said: "Before, I only talked with Di Hong about the preliminary intention of the two parties, and I haven't signed a contract yet; moreover, I talked with Hong Minhang at that time. Now that Di Hong has changed, what is the situation? This uncle hasn't shown up yet, everything is unknown."

Qiao Mudong asked calmly: "So there are still variables in the matter of cooperating with Di Hong?"

Ling Qiang took out a cigarette from the cigarette case on the table, Fu Chenshan immediately took a lighter and lit it for him.

Qiao Mudong sneered silently.

Ling Qiang said slowly: "Dihong's investment is not small. He wants to make a lot of money with us Lingyun and bring out the entire Xiaoxianlin. Naturally, we can negotiate terms with them. Originally, Hong Minhang also That's all, we have negotiated the cooperation intention in advance, but to be honest, I don't feel very relieved about his two uncles, and we still need to sit down and discuss in detail."

Qiao Mudong didn't make a sound.

"How?" Ling Qiang asked him, "Leave it to you to be responsible. As long as the conditions proposed by Hong Minhang remain unchanged, the first choice is to cooperate with Dihong. It is related to Lingyun's future development, and it must not be hasty. If you want to do it, do it well."

Qiao Mudong put one hand on the table, tapped his fingers twice, and finally said: "Yes."

Ling Qiang was very satisfied with his answer, so he raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder, "I'll call Guanghua to help you. You can discuss everything with him, and you can ask me if you have any questions. Since you are in charge, the whole You have to follow up Xinlingyun from site selection, design to construction and decoration, and don’t give up halfway.”

Qiao Mudong said, "Okay."

Ling Qiang nodded, "Okay, let's eat."

Fu Chenshan stood up and helped Ling Qiang add a bowl of soup with a spoon.

Ling Qiang thanked him politely.

Ling Zhilu looked at it, and felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, knowing that no matter how Fu Chenshan tried to please her, in her father's mind, her son-in-law was still not as good as her own son.Thinking of this, Ling Zhilu poked the fish balls in the bowl vigorously with her chopsticks.

Suddenly, Zhou Xuelan's cell phone rang.

No one else paid attention, only Qiao Mudong looked a little flustered the moment she saw the screen, and then answered the phone with a calm and natural tone, and hung up after saying a few words.

For some reason, Qiao Mudong suddenly recalled the strange man he saw in the shopping mall that day, who appeared in the underground parking lot with Zhou Xuelan.

Qiao Mudong lowered his head and took a sip of the soup, and suddenly remembered a sentence: the law of heaven is clear, and retribution is not good.He couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly.
