Contention

Although there were not many people, the birthday party was very lively.

During this period, Wu Rurong got drunk and insisted on singing a song. She stood on the bench and danced wildly with a carrot, making the rest of them sweat profusely, for fear that she would fall off.

Lu Yuexi saw her stumbling around, and calmly called her family.

Half an hour later, the drunken Miss Wu and the carrot were coaxed back home by the hurried man.

Jiang Yaoying also drank a lot, she seemed to be staying overnight, and lay down on the sofa when she was drunk, and couldn't wake up no matter how much she cried.

Seeing this, Aunt Fang smiled gently: "Xiao Lu, you can sleep with Feiniao tonight, and Xiao Jiang will sleep in that guest room."

Lu Yuexi was just about to shake Jiang Yaoying awake, but when she heard this, she smiled and withdrew her hand: "Okay."

I have been tired all day, and I have no extra energy to toss after cleaning up.

Auntie Fang took the lead to go back to the room to rest, while Lu Yuexi and Zou Feiniao were sitting by the sofa, still dealing with the unfinished cake.

While eating, the foot behind the buttocks suddenly moved.

Lu Yuexi turned her head after feeling the movement, and smiled sinisterly at Jiang Yaoying who was lying on her side behind her:

"Yo, are you awake?"

"...I said why it's so crowded." Jiang Yaoying covered her forehead, frowned slowly, and said, "Feiniao, I have a headache."

Zou Feiniao put down the things in his hands and stood up: "I'll make you some hangover drink."

"Hey, don't go." Lu Yuexi immediately stretched out his hand, pulled her back dissatisfied, and said to Jiang Yaoying, "Why should my people give you orders, you go by yourself."

"Oh, I don't have the strength." Jiang Yaoying smiled wryly, glanced at Lu Yuexi, was silent for a moment, as if she didn't want to meet her eyes, and stopped talking, "It's done, no need, I'm going to sleep."

Zou Feiniao was a little uneasy: "I'd better get you some."

"It's okay, I'll find some water to drink by myself." Jiang Yaoying put her legs behind the two of them awkwardly. After putting on her shoes, she saw that there was an unfinished cake on the coffee table. Pick up a piece and stuff it into your mouth.

"You guys are playing with you, I'm going to bed." In the muffled chewing sound, Jiang Yaoying thumped his back, went to the kitchen to drink water, and then turned into the guest room without raising his head.

Zou Feiniao quietly watched the door of the guest room being closed, and smiled: "Actually, Sister Jiang is quite embarrassed."

"I told you not to let her come."

"How can I do that?" Zou Feiniao sighed, "But she got used to it after a long time, at least she didn't bother me because of this incident."

Lu Yuexi looked at her narrowly, and asked with a smile, "Have you never mentioned it to her before? Even as a hint?"

Zou Feiniao shook his head.

"They say you're a boring gourd."

"..."

There was still half of the cake on the coffee table, fruit and cream mixed together, sandwiched with fan-shaped chocolate decorations, the candy figurine on the top was pinched in the shape of Zou Feiniao, no one ate it, and it was still inserted on the cake.

Although it looks sweet and tempting, the two people present are no longer interested in tasting it.

After sitting in a daze for a while, Zou Feiniao collected his things and put them into the refrigerator together.

After leaving the kitchen, Lu Yuexi was nowhere to be seen.

She felt strange, went to her bedroom to look for it, and when she opened the door, she saw Lu Yuexi bent down to take out a box from a drawer.

"Yeah." Seeing her coming in, Lu Yuexi shook his head helplessly, "You moved too fast, I want to surprise you."

Zou Feiniao asked: "What?"

"Come here, come here to show you."

In fact, it is not difficult to guess, not to mention the logo is printed on the box.

Zou Feiniao smiled, and after obediently walking over, Lu Yuexi slowly opened the box, revealing a set of exquisite jewelry inside.

Platinum and diamond-studded necklaces, bracelets, and earrings shone brightly under the light, and the pendants were all designed in the shape of her favorite little whale.

Lu Yuexi took out the necklace in the box and put it on for her, and said in a low voice:

"There are other things, I will give you some vulgar things now, and you can keep them."

Looking up, seeing Zou Feiniao staring at him intently, Lu Yuexi asked:

"what?"

Zou Feiniao pointed out, "I'm an adult."

"Oh."

She smiled and said, "It's not raw grapes."

Lu Yuexi opened his mouth to make fun of her, but he took it back.It is not a wise thing to spoil the scenery at this time.

She pondered for a moment, then suddenly hooked her fingers at the girl.

Zou Feiniao understood, and leaned over with a blushing face.

The two are very close, the temperature is just right, and the light and shadow are soft.

After a while, even breathing became lingering.

The originally planned trip to Xiamen has not been completed yet.Lu Yuexi hadn't booked his ticket yet. There was a big news in China recently. A chemical plant exploded, causing many casualties.

As a result, the National Security Supervision Bureau held an emergency meeting. Huiyan Group has a large investment in the chemical industry, so it also wants to participate in this meeting.

Lu Yuexi spent the night sorting out the materials with his subordinates, hurried to Beijing, got off the plane and looked at his phone, it was only 05:30 in the morning.

Sitting in Daxing International Airport, watching the hazy dawn through the floor-to-ceiling windows, she sent a message to Zou Feiniao with a tired face:

?I just arrived in Beijing, and it may take a few days before I can go back. Judging by the situation, I guess I will be busy again when I go back. Let’s go to Xiamen in July, okay? ?

She thought the other party was sleeping, so she put the phone away after sending the message, and went to the hotel she had booked with her business suitcase and entourage.

Unexpectedly, just a few steps away, the phone call came.Lu Yuexi set up a special ringtone for Zou Feiniao, and when she heard it, she picked it up curiously:

"……Hey?"

The girl's voice was very hoarse, but her tone was quite energetic, not like she just woke up:

"Are you in Beijing? Where are you now?"

"Still at the airport, ready to go to the hotel."

"Okay, you have a good rest when you arrive."

Lu Yuexi smiled: "How can I rest? There is a meeting at ten o'clock, and now I have to check the documents, and then contact the people above in advance. I will take a close look at the situation."

Zou Feiniao sighed.

"You just woke up?"

"No." Zou Feiniao said, yawning a little, "waiting for your news all night."

"All night?" Lu Yuexi frowned, both happy and worried. Knowing that she was worried about herself, she didn't criticize her too much. Hearing the other party's continuous yawning, her heart softened slightly, "You, go to sleep, wait until you wake up Let's talk."

"Then when will you come back?" The girl's tone was natural and charming, which was very different from the usual cold tone, "I miss you a little bit."

"...Me too." Lu Yuexi smiled and said, "I'll go back as soon as possible, you go to sleep."

"Ah."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Yuexi turned to look at Assistant Wen who was staring at the front without squinting, and thoughtfully said:

"When I go to a meeting in a while, you ask people to go to the nearby stores to see if there are any new things that can be given away."

Assistant Wen had long understood the relationship between Lu Yuexi and Zou Feiniao, but out of caution, she still asked:

"Send it to the leader, or send it..."

Lu Yuexi smiled, his brows and eyes curled up a little flirtatiously:

"It's just for children to play with. The more novel the better."

Assistant Wen immediately understood, and didn't ask any more questions.

The meeting lasted for four full hours, with the leader speaking at the front and the reporters taking pictures and videotaping at the back.

In order to care about the company's image, Lu Yuexi kept his back straight and put his posture well, but it was too much effort.

Sitting down for four hours, she almost broke her back.But fortunately, she picked out a pair of soft-soled flat shoes to wear before going out, otherwise, if she switched to high heels, her feet would have to be ruined as well.

This meeting is just a wake-up call, and the special inspections that follow will be the big ones.

At that time, the higher-ups will have to send people to the various chemical plants under the company's name to beat and beat, and it is estimated that it will take a lot of effort to rectify.

Coming out of the conference building, Lu Yuexi didn't bother to say hello to some familiar business partners. Lu Yuexi directly called the relevant department manager of the company and asked him to organize a meeting in the near future and explain the contents of the documents she sent to everyone first.

By the time things were arranged, it was already past three o'clock in the afternoon.It's a pity that there was a dinner party to attend in the evening, so she squinted in the car for half an hour on the way, and when she woke up, she looked at her phone, and she happened to miss Zou Feiniao's call.

In the afternoon, the sun slanted to the west, and the asphalt road was baked by the sun, giving off a smell of burnt tires, which made people's noses itchy.

Zou Feiniao didn't sleep long in the morning, fell asleep at six and woke up at eleven.

She had just finished filling out her volunteer application and had nothing to do. After reading a book at home, she went out to hang out.

After wandering around, we reached the main entrance of Huiyan Group.

Before I knew it, I started thinking about Lu Yuexi again.Zou Feiniao took out his mobile phone and called her.

Didn't work, probably busy.

She sighed, stood quietly at the gate for a while, and decided to go in for a walk.

Everyone in the security room knew her. After swiping the access card and greeting each other, she walked slowly into the group headquarters holding an umbrella.

The headquarters base covers an area of ​​more than 1000 mu. In the past, Lu Yuexi drove him in and out, so it was easy and effortless.

But today, for some reason, she really wanted to take a stroll inside.

Zou Feiniao was not too tired, so he walked slowly and calmly by himself, occasionally stopping to look at the tall trees planted along the area.

Looking around, most of them are sessile fig, magnolia and tung tree, which are nothing unusual.

When she walked to the office area, she suddenly found a locust tree planted in the grass beside the comprehensive office building.

There is a wooden frame around it for support, and it is estimated that it is still in the maintenance period.Several garden workers are pruning its branches and leaves carefully and carefully.

This was the first locust tree that Zou Feiniao saw as he walked around.

It is more than ten meters high, with luxuriant branches and leaves, long branches hanging down, lush and green, tall enough to shelter from the shade and rain, and to drive people away from the heat.

Zou Feiniao looked up at it curiously, but was dazzled by the sunlight pouring through the leaves.

Passing by this locust tree, not far away is the comprehensive office building, where Zou Feiniao usually followed Lu Yuexi to work.

As soon as he walked to the door, he saw a middle-aged man coming out of the building, followed by Sister Wang from the secretary department.

She couldn't help being a little embarrassed, so she lowered the umbrella to cover it, and stood aside by the way to make way for the two of them.

"Oh, isn't your little Mr. Lu unable to get through the phone? Who knows that he is on a business trip, and Assistant Wen is not here... It's so hot, alas..." The man muttered, looking a little frustrated, "Why is Mr. Lu also No, I heard that he hasn't been to the company for a long time?"

Sister Wang smiled and said, "I'm not sure about that, Mr. Lu may be busy elsewhere."

"Why don't you help me find a way to get in touch, he should have heard from her about the matter between me and Mr. Lu."

"Here, you should contact yourself. It's not good for us to interrupt rashly."

"How can this be considered a hasty interruption? You call and tell Mr. Lu that, he will understand." The man looked around, lowered his voice, and leaned over to whisper to Sister Wang in Oucheng dialect .

Zou Feiniao couldn't hear clearly, and only heard the words "nephew" and "get out of prison".

However, the man's face was solemn, and it seemed that what he said was serious.

After listening to him patiently, Sister Wang only smiled faintly:

"Although I don't quite understand, you should contact yourself for such an important matter."

But the man shook his head: "I'll call, I'm afraid he won't answer the phone."

"How could it be? Why don't you try to make a phone call." Sister Wang was still polite, "We all cooperate, President Lu will not do this."

The man smiled wryly, remained silent for a moment, waved his hands and said: "...Okay, that's bothering you. But if you Xiao Lu always has news, remember to mention it for me in time."

"No problem, Mr. Shao, go slowly."

Zou Feiniao watched the man drive away, feeling strange when Sister Wang noticed her:

"Yo, Feiniao, are you here?"

Zou Feiniao coughed lightly, then turned to look at her: "Sister Wang."

Sister Wang greeted her with a smile: "What are you doing standing at the door, basking in the sun, come in."

Zou Feiniao followed Lu Yuexi to the company several times, and the other party specifically asked the people below not to neglect her, so she was doing well in the company.

She nodded, and after following her in, she couldn't help asking:

"Who was that person just now? Is he familiar with Sister Yue Xi?"

"Oh, the boss of a company, I don't know if he is familiar with him or not. His company seems to only cooperate with the subsidiary that Mr. Lu used to run, and I don't know him very well."

"Is he looking for sister Yue Xi for something?"

Sister Wang turned her head and smiled: "I don't know, I probably asked her for help, it's okay, I'll just talk to her when Mr. Lu comes back."

Zou Feiniao said "Oh" and didn't ask any more questions.

But she always felt that something was weird, the man's speech was vague and his actions were restless, if he was begging for help, he was afraid that what he was asking for was something bad.
