detour

After soaking in the construction site for a long time, I can always hear all kinds of gossip.

For example, although the name of Longsheng Chemical Factory located in the southern district of Daocheng is Liu, in fact, the Liu family only holds less than half of the shares due to the intervention of the banker; The approval was still through the dealer's relationship; for another example, after the accident, although the dealer took the initiative to bear most of the responsibilities, the losses caused by the delay in starting work still made the Liu family very dissatisfied, and the originally perfect cooperative relationship was born as a result. Suspicion and so on.

Xu You vaguely remembered that the dealer's business was mainly in electronic products. It should not have been a few years since Zhuang Shaodong took over the dealer's business, but he did not expect to extend his tentacles to the chemical industry so soon.Maybe Zhuang Shijie back then was so relieved to leave because he saw the aggressiveness in him.

Xu You recalled Zhuang Shijie's obsession when he was fiddling with photographic equipment, and thought a little sourly: After going through the pain of family betrayal, maybe he will feel that he has found his purpose in life again, and can put aside complicated family affairs , wholeheartedly carrying the camera on his back to realize his ideal of being a photographer, traveling all over the world, and the sea and the sky have been broad since then.

Xu You imagined Zhuang Shijie climbing mountains and wading, and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.He never felt that he was a selfless and kind person, as long as the other party had a good life, it didn't matter how hard he was.In fact, whenever he thinks that Zhuang Shijie will have a good life, forget himself, find a new lover and start a new life, Xu You feels as if he has been caught by a cat.

Not reconciled.

Obviously knowing that there will be no more reunion dramas, for that person, the end is the real end.But Xu You still felt unwilling and...disgusted of herself.If it weren't for the fact that I was too useless back then, and Zhuang Shaodong's mother and son used the word "future" to negotiate terms with Zhuang Shijie, things would definitely not have turned into what they were later.

Xu You took out the cigarette case from his pocket, rubbed it twice and stuffed it back.

After rearranging the order of the change order in front of him, Xu You began to force himself to focus on the conversation of several technicians.

They are discussing the problem of pipe partial pressure in zone D.The construction drawings have passed the review, and the next work will mainly focus on construction.Xu You waited to see the construction report submitted by the technicians. As for some details of the work, he did not intend to express any opinions.

I looked at my watch, it was only eleven o'clock.Xu You was a little bored and turned a fountain pen around between her fingers, a little hesitant to call Zhao Xiaoqi to cancel her afternoon shopping plan.

That day in Huang Haitao's bar, he just said a few sour words about looking for spring, but Huang Haitao turned around and called Zhao Xiaoqi to make a shopping plan for him.In fact, in Xu You's opinion, those few complaints were nothing more than a symbolic way of lamenting the passing of time.It's a pity that everyone here is a bunch of old men, and no one has grasped the profound connotation of the Chinese language.

Xu You, like most men, was somewhat timid to go shopping, especially when he was shopping with Zhao Xiaoqi, a magical creature who wore eight-inch high heels and walked around the mall all afternoon without pain in his feet.However, based on Xu You's experience, it is still very efficient to go shopping with a beautiful woman, because they will always know which corner of the shopping mall the things you want are placed.Although Zhao Xiaoqi's overly direct personality makes people feel a little headache...

Xu You was thinking about the issue of shopping when he felt that the atmosphere in the conference room had changed subtly. Several technicians stopped discussing at some point and looked behind him in unison.Following their line of sight, Xu You turned around and looked back, only to find that the door of the conference room was pushed open at some point, and two young men in white shirts were walking in with big bags.As the door opened, a smell of food quickly permeated the conference room.

Several technicians stood up quickly, and while frantically clearing up the drawings and materials on the conference table, they discussed that today's lunch was delivered earlier than usual.

Xu You couldn't help but shrugged her nose, "This is...the cafeteria has changed chefs?"

The young man closest to him couldn't help but smiled, "This is a delivery from the Amethyst Hotel."

Xu You froze for a moment, and then noticed that the young man's chest pocket was embroidered with a flower-shaped logo the size of a fingernail, with the initials of the hotel's name underneath.The Amethyst Restaurant is considered to be the earliest western restaurant in Daocheng. It is said that it was first opened by a Russian couple. It is famous for its steak and desserts.

"Did you make a mistake?" Xu You murmured inwardly.If this is delivered wrongly, the two children will be in trouble. From Daocheng to the South District, it takes an hour to go back and forth, and the food will not be delivered if it tastes bad. They deduct money from their wages.

"It can't be wrong." The young man was happy again, "The guest ordered four servings of black pepper beef rice, four servings of honey sauce pork rib rice, four servings of pan-fried cod fish rice; there are also twelve servings of lemon tea and dessert."

Xu You and several technicians looked at each other.No matter how rich Longsheng is, it is impossible to order lunch for his employees in such a high-end restaurant.What's more, the staff canteen in the factory has already opened. Although the taste is not very good, it is more convenient.Recently, Xu You has been following them to eat the boxed lunches from the cafeteria.

"Who ordered it?" Xu You opened a dessert box and looked at it. It was a hazelnut cake.

Before the young man could speak, a man's voice behind him said with a smile, "I made the decision. Everyone has worked hard these past few days. I guess everyone is tired of eating in the cafeteria."

Several technicians laughed.

Xu You felt disapproving, thinking that Zhuang Shaodong's gesture was very fake.Didn't he just want to get closer to the technicians in the factory, didn't he just want to mend the negative impact on his image caused by Su Chengze?He looked behind Zhuang Shaodong, and sure enough, Su Chengze didn't come with him.

Definitely on purpose.Xu You gloated and thought: Don't look at him acting beautifully at the moment, Su Chengze is still going to make a fuss after returning home.

Zhuang Shaodong seemed to have noticed something, his eyes swept over lightly, and he waved it around with a smile on his face before taking it back, "I don't know everyone's taste, I just looked at it. You don't have any taboos, do you? "

"No, no," Xiaozhang took the lunch box from him, and shared it among the people around him with a smile. As for the spar, Mr. Zhuang has taken care of it."

"You're welcome." Zhuang Shaodong pushed the tableware to the opposite side of the square table, and handed Xu You another box of cod rice.

He did this gesture very naturally, so naturally that everyone including the person involved didn't think there was anything wrong with him doing this slightly intimate gesture.Xu You was not a person who would notice even trivial things.However, when Zhuang Shaodong tore open the sealed cutlery package and handed the bamboo chopsticks and soup spoon in front of him, Xu You still felt a little... awkward.

Does this mean to take care of him?Or simply want to have a relationship?

Xu You looked at Zhuang Shaodong depressedly, he was standing at the table distributing desserts to several people, with a serious look, making people feel that no matter how he thought about it, he was thinking too much.Probably feeling Xu You's gaze, Zhuang Shaodong pushed the two dessert boxes in front of Xu You.

"Hazelnut cake and peanut cookies," Zhuang Shaodong quickly glanced at the conference table piled with lunch boxes, and said in a low voice, "The taste is okay, not too sweet."

Xu You was even more depressed.How did Zhuang Shaodong know his preference for sweets?And his attitude... Is this to make others feel that they are actually familiar?

Xu You moved the chair aside and lowered his head to eat.

Zhuang Shaodong looked at him, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth unconsciously.He thought Xu You's appearance was quite interesting, he was making childish movements with an awkward face, and he was deliberately doing it in a subtle way, for fear that others would see it.

Zhuang Shaodong shook his head with a smile, pulled out the chair and sat down, picked a box of pork ribs to eat with them.There are only seven people in the conference room including him, and twelve lunches are ordered, and he is still too much.

It was the first time for Xiao Zhang and the others to eat at the same table with Zhuang Shaodong. At first, they were a little bit overbearing, but they gradually let go of it while chatting.Zhuang Shaodong is wearing another very casual T-shirt today, which looks a little more friendly than his usual high-spirited look.In fact, the people in the meeting room are all about the same age, and they still have a common language after letting go of their arrogance.

Seeing that no one of them touched desserts, Xu You found an empty lunch box and put all the snacks in it.

Zhuang Shaodong watched his movements, and asked amusedly, "Where are you taking the package?"

"Take it home to eat." Xu You put away the dessert without looking up, scanned the meeting room again, and pointed at Xiao Zhang, "I won't talk about others. Xiao Zhang, your construction report, the last Give it to me before I get off work tomorrow."

Xiao Zhang immediately showed a bitter face.

After Xu You used this sad expression to soothe the little depression in her heart, she left the table with a computer bag in one hand and a dessert box in the other.As for Zhuang Shaodong, didn't he come here to repair his image, so let him stay there and continue to repair his image.

Xu You put the dessert box on the passenger seat, and when she was about to start the car, she couldn't help but reached out and picked up another cookie and put it in her mouth.

The dessert of Amethyst Restaurant, Xu You thought, it should not be wasted.
