reprieve

After returning to work, I can't count the meals I had with President Huai.

The first time is raw, the second time is familiar, and the third time is habitual.

Sui Ran silently recited the four-character scripture "It's all here", changed his shoes and washed his hands, went to the kitchen and asked like a dog: "Is there anything I can do?"

Huaian was also out of sight, and turned his head to indicate the black drawer under the sink: "The first tableware has been sterilized, you set the table. Do you want to be inside or outside?"

The door from the kitchen to the balcony is half open, the temperature is low by the river, and in the high area, a gust of wind blows in, making it a bit chilly.

"Inside."

The indoor restaurant is close to Duobao Pavilion, the chandelier is not turned on, and the small wattage lights around the ceiling illuminate the gray-blue checked tablecloth from different angles.

It is not difficult to arrange the tableware, just bring the tableware from the disinfection cabinet twice back and forth, and divide it into two according to the position of the chair.

But the tablecloth was laid very neatly, and the stripes lined up with the edge of the table. Sui Ran arranged the bowls and chopsticks. I always felt that something was not harmonious. I turned around and compared the heights several times. Finally, the tableware and napkins were aligned or perpendicular to the grid lines. It's more sensual.

Realizing that it took a lot of time to arrange the plate, Sui Ran was terrified——

OCD is contagious!

It must have been affected by the environment, she thought, she usually doesn't pay attention to these things.

Unexpectedly, when he turned around, he bumped into Boss Huai who was holding a soup bowl.

Mr. Huai, the part-time chef tonight, hadn't taken off his apron yet, when the two met their eyes, she acted again.

I don't know if I saw it just now.

I probably saw it, and there was a faint smile on the corners of my eyes and lips.

It seems that they don't intend to close it, and it even deepens a little as the distance approaches.

"Drink?" she asked.

Sui Ran knew that the blessing of alcohol is easy to lose virtue, opened her mouth, and refused bluntly: "No."

Huai An put the soup bowl at one end of the dining table, "Then go to the refrigerator and see what you want to drink, I'll put the soup first."

Juice, fizzy drinks, sparkling water, lemonade...everything in the fridge.

Sui Ran thought that there was soup and enough water, and there was a "ding dong" in the pocket of his trousers.

Hai Cheng: "Remember to find an opportunity to talk to President Huai [Come on]"

Sui Ran replied with a series of ellipses, turned on Mute first, and after thinking about it, he simply turned on Do Not Disturb in one step.

In terms of coffee position, she is a small fish and a shrimp at the bottom of the pyramid, so there is no need to do everything in front of President Huai.

Putting the phone back in her pocket, she took out two dishes and asked, "What does Mr. Huai drink?"

Huai'an had just set up the small soup bowls in exactly the same position as before, and took a plate of celery and fungus, "I'll do it myself."

I went back to the restaurant and brought fried shredded pork with double mushrooms and lemonade.

Three dishes and one soup, mixed with meat and vegetables, the soup is stewed into creamy white, generally light, but delicious - not Mr. Huai directly opposite, but Duobao Pavilion diagonally behind her.

After finishing the short-term part-time succulent maintenance, just from the perspective of appreciation, the many succulents in Duobao Pavilion have added another layer of filters.

After looking at it for a long time, I found that it was not her human eye filter, but the lighting.

After taking care of the succulents for nearly half a month, Sui Ran didn't know that this Duobao Pavilion actually has a special lamp for each compartment, which is lit from an oblique angle above, giving each kind of succulent cages a soft light, which is especially delicate.

The half-dead Silvermoon City is now housed in a glass cover, parallel to the line of sight, slightly to the left.From her point of view, it was just over Mr. Huai's shoulder.

Perhaps the temperature difference between inside and outside is large, and a fine layer of water vapor condenses on the glass. When the cold light shines, the shadows are indistinct, as if there are more than a dozen crescent moons sitting in a row.

Not only was the disgruntled face 24 hours ago swept away, but also a little more hazy fairy air.

Coming and going, it is inevitable that some light will be leaked to the real "color" on the opposite side.

Mr. Huai doesn't say anything about eating, he seems to be in a state of mind when eating, and he hardly looks at his mobile phone even during work meals.

Sui Ran suspects that she belongs to the school that silently counts the number of chewing times when eating.

Yue Shi noticed that she had slowed down unknowingly, Huai An suddenly raised his eyes, "Does the food suit your taste?"

The dishes are bland, and the taste is also bland, but I only ate Sichuan cuisine at noon, and the taste couldn't be more suitable.Sui Ran nodded repeatedly, expressing her preference for the food with actions, and picked up another chopstick of celery for herself.

Huai An raised his eyebrows, releasing the joy from his heart as if he had been affirmed. His smile was as light as the color of the dishes, which happened to be set off by the gorgeous and succulent jungle behind him.

Eating at home is completely different from eating in a restaurant.

A restaurant is a public place, and your attention is often deflected by the things around you, no matter how high-end the restaurant is, even if it is a private box without ringing the bell and no service.

Home is different.

The home is quiet.

Even if the TV is turned on next to it as the background sound, you can still occasionally hear the collision of spoons and bowls, and even the crisp sound of crushing coarse fiber vegetables.

So from time to time, my heartbeat followed abruptly.

The place where I lived for more than ten days suddenly had fireworks.

There are even people.

After all, Sui Ran didn't mention the establishment of a new team in Zhaoyue Haicheng branch, let alone Haicheng's invitation.

Things at work also have occasions.

This dinner did not have the ubiquitous hustle and bustle of Haicheng—the financial capital is talking about future development everywhere—what was just a tranquility that seemed like a paradise.

It is quieter and more peaceful than villages in deep mountains and old forests.

Sui Ran didn't want to destroy it.

She thought that Huai'an might not be happy to be destroyed.

Maybe there is that kind of workaholic who can't do without work all the time.

But taking good care of the succulents and cooking in person, Huai'an is not entirely devoted to work.

She is not a heartless work machine.

After the meal, Sui Ran took the initiative to pack the dishes and wash the dishes, Huai'an reached out to take them: "There is a dishwasher, you go and clean up."

It took half an hour for dinner, Haicheng sent a bunch of messages and made two phone calls.

"What are you doing?"

"However, little heartless [contempt]"

"Has President Huai returned to Haicheng?"

"...?"

"That's all right, all right, I'll ask her out on my own some other day. Talking about cooperation isn't about betraying any of you, what are you afraid of?"

"Boss Fu wants to meet and talk with you. Give me a time, Saturday or Sunday?"

……

Sui Ran replied: "I'm busy, let's talk about it later."

The things were actually packed in the morning. She dawdled in the guest room for a while, then went out with the suitcase, and Huai An also left the kitchen, "Are you ready? Wait for me to change clothes."

At this point in the evening, the road is smooth, and it takes less than 10 minutes from Binjiangyuan to the rented community.

Shumen Shulu in Huai'an turned to the two-way road, and slowly slid towards the community, when she suddenly noticed something, "It's time to stop."

Sui Ran looked out the window, and there were indeed more white lines for parking on the side of the road.

She remembered that during the time when she went to Binjiangyuan to stay overnight, the owners of the community seemed to be finally angry. The property committee went door-to-door to collect signatures and asked the property to solve the parking problems of the majority of owners.

The efficiency is really high.

Huaian parked the car sideways into the parking space, "I'll take you in."

Sui Ran was so amazed at her side parking skills that she only realized after hearing the words: Why did Boss Huai park in the parking space?

"No..." Please excuse me.

Huai'an didn't allow her to be polite: "It's gone after the meal."

After the words fell, people also got out of the car.

Boss Huai cut off all the words, but Sui Ran was disrespectful.

In more than ten days, I only came back a few times during the weekend and during the day. Except for the parking space outside, the street lights in the community that had been in disrepair for a long time were also completely new.

Sui Ran pulled the suitcase at the pace of a walk, remembering to report to Mr. Huai on the progress of the subletting of Taipinghuijing.

Speaking of which, several weeks passed in a flash, and the progress over there was getting slower and slower. It took three to five days for one email to go through several departments.

This is not a good sign.

"I think their headquarters might change their mind." After thinking about it, Sui Ran decided to vaccinate Mr. Huai, "Subtenants sometimes change a lot." It changed very quickly.

"It's okay." Huai'an said, "Please help me pay attention to other things. I have no business trip plans for the next two weeks."

"Well, I've been paying attention. I'll sort out the report on the weekend, and I'll contact you on Monday." Having stumbled before, Sui then came to habitually leave alternatives.After resuming work, she was able to gain a firm foothold in the company quickly without so much pressure. It was all thanks to Mr. Huai, and she dared not slack off, "Now, in addition to the surrounding area of ​​Huanyu, there is also the financial city of the shipyard green space, and the central green space park is only separated from Huanyu. "

"Shipyard green space, there seem to be many banks nearby?"

"Yes, the five inland banks, China Merchants Bank, and Ping An are all there, as well as DBS, Dahua, and Hang Seng."

……

During the conversation, we went downstairs.

This is the time when roommates are dancing wildly, and since it is not early, Sui Ran has no intention of inviting someone upstairs for tea, so he pauses on the path outside the building, turns around and bows slightly to Mr. Huai, "Today is troublesome again." You, it’s not convenient to rent together, so I won’t invite you up, I’m really sorry.”

"Manager Sui is too polite."

The almost perfect day came to an end, and the two were about to say goodbye amicably, when the security door was pushed open from the inside.

A familiar scene was played out again.

Sui Ran closed her eyes, to her surprise, she was not at all surprised by Ruan Shuo's appearance.

——It was because she had such a sense of crisis subconsciously that she didn't reject Boss Huai's proposal to send her back.

"It's the same one from last time." Ruan Shuo obviously recognized Huai An, "You still lied to me that she was a client."

The streetlights were brightly lit, illuminating her playful expression and angry eyes, and her face was distorted as a result, making her look like a different person from the person she knew at first.

Sui Ran's hairs are about to shatter.

She thought that Ruan Shuo's problem could not be solved with a meal of crayfish, but she didn't expect such a coincidence that Mr. Huai caught her and sent her back twice.

In a blink of an eye, she realized that Ruan Shuo would come here to guard every day, right?

——Has her relationship with "Xiao Mu" broken?Sui Ran couldn't help thinking.

For a moment of ecstasy, a voice and figure passed her by her ear.

"It's a client." Huai'an blocked her behind, and made a gesture of backing away without a trace, "I have always hoped that Manager Sui can join my company."

"Xiao Ran is pretty good, it's worth others chasing her home over and over again to poach the wall." Ruan Shuo sneered.

"Manager Sui's ability is outstanding, and it's worth visiting the thatched cottage three times for her." Huai An said in a tone that Sui Ran could barely tell was joking, and stood still in front of Ruan Shuo.

Comparing the two, Ruan Shuo is a strong wheat with sharp awns, and President Huai is the exclusive spring that shines brightly at night, and it can't be seen from the temperament that they belong to the same species.

Ruan Shuo probably saw something from her expression, and murmured disapprovingly or even contemptuously, "Sounding high-sounding, isn't it..."

At a distance of two or three meters, Sui Ran heard Huai An interrupt Ruan Shuo with a low "yes", "It's Manager Sui's..."

In terms of height, Huai'an had an advantage over Ruan Shuo. She leaned slightly close to Ruan Shuo, and whispered something in the other's ear, which was very short. Then she straightened up and turned around almost without a pause, "But Manager Sui didn't mean that. , Of course, this kind of thing cannot be forced, as for whether there will be other progress in the future, I respect Manager Sui's wishes."

This is not the intention, and cannot be forced.

Manager Sui wondered blankly, is Huai always talking about letting her go to Yu'an?

Soon she knew it wasn't.

Both looked at her at the same time.

Sui Ran ignored Ruan Shuo's dark eyes mixed with confusion, because the moonlight and lights favored only one person, and the little bits and pieces of light fell in Huai'an's eyes.

"For now, Manager Sui can raise me from a customer to the level of a friend who has a little friendship, and is willing to honor me for a meal with me. I am already very satisfied."
