"Xu Junyan? Xu Junyan?"

Sun Ning stretched out his hand and shook it in front of me. I suddenly came back to my senses. Zhuang Lin sat at the conference table and smiled: "Xiao Yan didn't have a good rest yesterday?"

"Ah... I'm sorry, I was distracted just now." I rubbed my eyebrows and smiled apologetically, "What did you say?"

"Mr. Zhuang said he would invite everyone to dinner tonight. Everyone has worked so hard recently, so I will take this opportunity to invite you to sing." Sun Ning smoothed things over for me.These few days the project is coming to an end, Zhuang Lin has been running to the branch frequently, getting to know everyone a lot, "Are you free?"

I hesitated for a moment, and glanced at Zhuang Lin's smiling face, but I couldn't see any intention behind it.It's not good to refute his face, so I can only respond: "Yes."

"Then it's settled, Brother Wang is in charge of the dinner, and I'll go directly after get off work later."

After the meeting was over, the others went back to their positions, and Sun Ning and I stayed.This is a meeting between the three of us. Zhuang Lin will point out any issues that need to be directly connected with us at this time.

I quietly pinched my thigh to wake myself up, and spread out my notebook to record.

"Miss Sun, can you pour me a cup of coffee?"

Zhuang Lin nodded politely to Sun Ning, it was obvious that he wanted to send her out.Sun Ning raised his eyebrows, stood up and took the cup: "Of course, Mr. Zhuang can talk to Junyan first if you have any questions, it's all the same."

After she went out, he moved his shoulders, looked more casual, and even smiled and said to me: "Everyone in your group can talk, and every time I come to listen to your meetings, it takes more than three hours."

"Because I have been working for so long, there are indeed many things that need to be explained. Brother Zhuang Lin has worked hard."

"I don't work hard, but you work here, and you have to help the company over there."

Zhuang Lin's pupils were very pale, even with a smile he looked cold, I felt a little uncomfortable when he was staring at me: "I'm just helping out, and I don't have the ability to preside over the overall situation, so I'd better listen to Brother Yu Cheng."

"Don't say that, Yucheng didn't interfere at all during this time, didn't you do a good job?" He looked at me, "There is nothing to do in the branch office, resign as soon as possible and work there, at least you can help your brother a handful."

"...We have to wait until the end of this project."

Although I really planned in my heart to be a collectibles company wholeheartedly last night, when Zhuang Lin said this, it was as if I had become a marionette in his hands, and I had to obey the arrangement in everything, and I was a little bit no out of repulsion.

Zhuang Lin seemed to see through my thoughts, and said slowly: "Yucheng went to discuss a project with Huaxing a few days ago, and after talking for a day, they got stuck on an insignificant clause. , How can you say there is such a rigid person in charge?"

He must have his reasons for bringing up this topic. I lowered my eyes and waited patiently for his next words.

"I have a good relationship with the opposite director. We talked about it at dinner at night, and he said that they didn't want to do this on purpose."

Zhuang Lin looked at me meaningfully, the afternoon sun came in through the window, he squinted his eyes: "Hua Xing's boss is Gao Xingyu, you may not know his name. But he and Yang Chen are buddies—Xiao Yan , do you understand what I mean?"

I paused: "Profits always come first to Yang Chen, it is impossible for him to do this because of personal affairs."

"Unless you really mess with him."

His expression was calm, and he even smiled slightly: "Yucheng told me not to tell you, but I think the child will grow up one day, how can you keep everything in the dark? Your every move is not only related to yourself , and other people behind it will be involved. Even if you are not responsible for yourself, you must be responsible for the Xu family, you must always be aware of this."

I looked at Zhuang Lin, a sense of powerlessness rose from inside my body, my throat was tight, and my throat was dry: "This matter... I will solve it."

"That's the best, I believe Xiaoyan, you can do it."

There was a light knock on the door of the conference room, and Sun Ning came back from outside with a cup.She didn't ask anything, and we continued the meeting as if nothing had happened, but I didn't write down a single word in my open notebook.

Zhuang Lin just had a meal with us and then left.In fact, after he left, everyone was able to let go a little more and play very vigorously.I saw that they were very excited to sing and play games, and I was really not in the mood to participate. After singing a few lines, I slipped out and went outside for a while.

There is an open-air balcony upstairs, and many people are drinking and chatting.I ordered a glass of beer and dazed outside until Sun Ning sat across from me.

With the evening wind blowing, she untied her tied hair, fiddled with it a few times, and asked for a glass of wine: "It's rare to relax, why don't you play with them? Or is it because the rich young master doesn't like this place?"

I gradually got used to her barbed way of speaking, and I didn't feel angry: "I'm a little tired, I want to take a rest."

"That's right. You work hard at work, comparable to a workaholic like me." Maybe it's because the atmosphere here is too relaxed. She held her chin, and when she spoke, she unconsciously assumed the posture of a little woman, charming and charming. Some naively, "Hello, Xu Junyan."

"Ok?"

"After this project is finished, do you want to leave?"

I turned my head and was a little surprised by her sensitivity, but I didn't fully admit it: "Maybe... It's not easy to say, let's see where I can find a new job. Xu's treatment is also very good."

She smiled with crooked eyebrows, but her tone was gentle: "It's all from your family, and you still need to change jobs? But it's enough to experience life, and the small staff are boring. If I were you, I would have started my own company a long time ago." Boss."

"It's not that easy." I smiled wryly, "Your ability to work is so strong that gold will shine everywhere. I can't compare to you."

"Forget it, don't talk about these spoilers, and finally take a rest."

I watched her face, and suddenly realized that she and Ye Jiajie resembled each other because they both had cat-like eyes, and she was a bit sly when she smiled, but Sun Ning was down-to-earth and lively, while Ye Jiajie was as delicate and flawless as fragile porcelain.

But they are hardworking, motivated, and determined, and they will have a bright future.

The messages sent to Yang Chen all fell to the ground. I checked my phone several times. I was lucky that he didn't block me due to his irritable personality, let alone take the initiative to reply to the messages.If I can't, I can only go to Yang Ke. Fortunately, my self-esteem has been crushed long ago, and I don't feel embarrassed.

"Xu Junyan, why are you so sad? How about dancing?"

Sun Ning sipped the wine in the glass and said suddenly.At some point, soothing music was played on the terrace, and many people had already stepped onto the empty dance floor in front, and the atmosphere was very brisk.

I froze for a while.Although the words are sharp, Sun Ning is still very reserved when he contacts me outside of work.I looked at her nearly empty glass and flushed cheeks from being slightly drunk, and felt a bit dumbfounded: "What kind of drinking capacity do you have?"

"I want to dance, please. You see, other people just dance casually, so just act as my dance partner temporarily."

I sighed and held out my hand to her.

Always staring at the phone and not waiting for a reply, it is better not to live up to this pleasant evening.

"ButAkissisnotakisswithoutyoursighPleasecomebacktomeinCasablancaIloveyoumoreandmoreeachdayastimegoesby"

Sun Ning's alcohol passed in the middle of the song, and we looked at each other in a funny and awkward way, but she still put my shoulders on my shoulders and finished the dance before exiting the dance floor with me.

When I returned to my seat, I held back my laughter, and Sun Ning gave me a look: "Okay, you can laugh if you want to, I know I'm a bad drinker."

"It's okay." I quickly changed the subject, "You dance very well."

"Because the rhythm of old songs is easier to follow." She breathed a sigh of relief, "I like this movie very much. I almost memorized the lines, and I have listened to this song many times. A man's attitude towards his lover is how he treats the world. attitude, isn't it?"

I was silent for a moment: "...That's right. But at that time, I only saw the romance, and didn't think deeply about it at all."

"It's really romantic." Sun Ning smiled, "The whole world is about to fall, and they chose this time to fall in love!"

I nodded, and took out my mobile phone to check if there was any news out of habit, but I was stunned after opening it.

Sun Ning rested his chin and carefully watched the couple dancing on the dance floor.The light fragrance of flowers floated in the air, the laughter of people was in my ears, the lighting was soft, and my hand that was holding the phone trembled violently uncontrollably.
