Contention

This time it was not at Ye Huai's house, she booked a restaurant, which was in the commercial street near her home.

When Lu Yuexi arrived, all the dishes had already been served.

The restaurant is dominated by cool colors, and there are potted Jiulixiang potted plants on the left and right of the seats, and red string greeting cards tied on the branches, preparing for the new year.

Before she came, she had thought a lot about the so-called help.

Ye Huai never asked her for help, or asked her to do anything.

After sitting down, unpacking the tableware, and chatting a few words, the topic finally got on the right track.

Ye Huai's expression was calm from beginning to end, and when he talked about the request, he still blushed unavoidably.

It was originally for promotion.

Lu Yuexi was surprised, it turned out that people like Ye Huai also cared about the evaluation of professional titles.

The general idea is that the team leader who was supposed to be assigned to Ye Huai in the bureau was intercepted halfway, and he was still a rookie who had worked for less than two years.

There is no particular reason, but the newcomer has some nepotism and is a relative of a deputy section chief in the bureau.

If it is based on ability and experience, everyone will compete fairly and have no objection.

But if it is obvious that it is leaving a relationship that everyone knows well, and it still advertises that it will give young people more opportunities to develop, then no one will be able to swallow their breath.

Lu Yuexi thought for a long time, then quietly stared at Ye Huai.The latter lowered his eyes slightly, his face was a little more angry because of the embarrassing redness.

"... I do have a distant cousin in the Municipal Public Security Bureau, but he is in charge of criminal investigation, but I don't know if he can intervene in your affairs."

But that being said, everyone can see the power of connections.

It's not easy for the distant cousin to intervene, so I can assign someone else I know to help me with it, isn't it the same?

Lu Yuexi thought about it, and changed her words again: "Let me help you get in touch."

Ye Huai regained his composure a little, and smiled at her: "Thank you."

Lu Yuexi responded.Thinking of those three years in high school, I felt a little dull.

After the conversation was over, Lu Yuexi could eat or not to eat this meal.

Besides, Zou Feiniao is going to be on vacation soon, and the plane tickets are all booked.

When I come back at that time, if I find out that she and Ye Huai have secretly contacted each other again, I will inevitably have a toss.

"Try to contact online in the future." Lu Yuexi took a sip of the sweet tea with cinnamon and red dates in the cup, and sighed, "And it's best to send messages, sometimes it's not convenient for me to answer the phone."

Ye Huai asked, "Why?"

After she finished speaking, she smiled again as if remembering something, "You are concerned about your fiancée, aren't you?"

Lu Yuexi was calm, and admitted openly: "She knows about the two of us, so she should avoid it."

Ye Huai suppressed her smile when she heard the words: "There is nothing between the two of us."

That period of the past was indeed like fireworks, but it was just Lu Yuexi's wishful thinking from the beginning to the end.

The atmosphere suddenly cooled down, but it was only for a moment.

Hearing that Lu Yuexi was about to leave, Ye Huai did not hold back, picked up a box of gifts from the side of the seat, and said, "Thank you."

Lu Yuexi glanced at her lightly, but her eyes were not on the box.

There was a stop on the gift: "I haven't done anything yet."

"That has to be given."

Looking at Ye Huai who talked about human feelings like this, she felt a little delicate.

Lu Yuexi remained silent for a long time, but still reached out and took the golden handle of the box.

Then it was inevitable that they chatted online for a few days because of this matter. For some reason, Ye Huai didn't seem to care much about her contacting that cousin.

It was obviously her who made the request, but she never took the initiative to ask. Instead, she talked about some things, such as asking her if she would like to visit He Ying's parents together.

And when Lu Yuexi took the initiative to mention the progress of her promotion, she seemed to have just remembered, and asked "how is it?" in a neutral manner.

While chatting, she kept off the topic, inexplicably talking about her high school days, or recent hot news.

But that relaxed attitude is true.

Many times, when Lu Yuexi looked at the tone of her casual chat with him, he felt as if he had returned to the past.

It was a time when they had a good relationship.

She is not quite sure what Ye Huai is thinking now.

He only guessed that she didn't have any friends around her now, and he stopped pestering her, his behavior was normal, and he could help her, so the other party came to contact her, a "friend" who was better than nothing, in his free time.

But the disgust at that time was so deep that Lu Yuexi couldn't help but feel confused.

Can time really change a person like this?

She was too lazy to think about it, so the conversations were all polite, and she never met Ye Huai again.

On the day Zou Feiniao returned to China, Lu Yuexi took Aunt Fang to pick him up.

The girl learned to be smart this time, and she added clothes when she was connecting planes. When she got out of the airport, she was wearing a black coat and white boots that tightly wrapped her calves, so she couldn't get cold at all.

Now that the parents have agreed, Lu Yuexi did not avoid suspicion, wrapped the scarf around her neck, and hugged her: "Welcome back."

Zou Feiniao hugged her and smiled.

The car was parked in the outdoor parking lot. Before getting into the car, Zou Feiniao stretched out his hand and felt the howling wind around him: "The weather is so cold that it's about to snow."

After hearing her words, Lu Yuexi glanced at the white sky.

The clouds were thick and light, and the sun seemed to condense a thin layer of white mist, which was indeed cold enough.

She is the one who has had enough of staying in the heater, and she can't notice the specific changes in the weather and temperature: "Oucheng has only had a heavy snowfall in the past twenty years, and it is sleet and hail every year."

"The last time it snowed heavily, it was about ten years ago..." Lu Yuexi paused as she said this, and looked at her inadvertently, "If you want to see snow, I'll take you to Harbin?"

But Zou Feiniao said inexplicably: "There are also Beijing."

The two chatted in a calm manner, and Aunt Fang hurriedly pushed and shoved them: "Let's go, hurry home and cook a bowl of hot soup."

When they arrived at Zou's house, Lu Yuexi couldn't wait to drink the hot soup. She had to rush back to deal with something in the company.

While getting up to tidy up his coat, he instructed: "...you take a rest after eating, and I will pick you up to play at my house in the evening."

"Aren't you going to Rong Jin's?"

"My dad wants to see you."

Zou Feiniao smiled, seeing that she was walking in a hurry, he watched her go.

She also had a lot of things to do, she didn't eat and rest as Lu Yuexi said, but sat alone in front of the computer, writing a popular science article to be posted on the webpage.

After the "Bird Cherishing" Foundation got on the right track, Lu Yuexi had a lot of things to talk about here, and then gradually didn't take care of it, only major matters were dealt with.

Zou Feiniao has been staring at the popular science page of the foundation's website.

Although she hired someone to take care of it, she did bother.

Just about to discuss this article with the younger brother from the technical department of the foundation who specializes in managing the web page, Fang Junya, who was cleaning the room at the side, suddenly called her and asked, "Is this Xiaolu's?"

Zou Feiniao turned his head. It was a small dark green Chanel handbag made of soft sheepskin.

It looked familiar, it was Lu Yuexi's.

She just came up and put the bag in the corner of the sofa, and put a pillow on it when she sat up.

As soon as the pillows were covered, everyone ignored the handbag just now.

After making the phone call, Lu Yuexi smiled and said, "I said I always felt like something was missing."

Zou Feiniao asked, "Do you want me to take it there for you?"

"are not you tired?"

"Not tired."

"...There is nothing in it, just some cosmetics, but you can help me see, is there a USB flash drive in the interlayer?"

Zou Feiniao opened the handbag and took a look: "There is indeed one."

"It's really in there." Lu Yuexi sighed, "Then bring it to me, I may need it for a meeting later. It happens that I miss you, so sit here with me when you come, and go to rest when you are tired." room to rest."

Zou Feiniao said, "Okay."

The last time I came to Huiyan headquarters was half a month ago.

At the gate, Zou Feiniao got off the taxi and saw a familiar person standing in the security room from a distance.

Taking a closer look, it was Assistant Wen.

"Just give it to me." The other party explained, "Boss is busy, so you don't need to go to the office building again."

Zou Feiniao felt baffled: "Just now she said that she can let me sit with her."

Assistant Wen nodded when she heard the words, and smiled at her. Her attitude was tight and there was nothing unusual: "She has something to do now, so it should be inconvenient."

"I'll just go and have a look, so I won't disturb you..." Zou Feiniao sighed, "Is it her intention to let me go back now?"

"Yes."

It was cold and windy outside, Zou Feiniao frowned and gathered his coat.

Maybe it was because her expression was not very good-looking, Assistant Wen hesitated for a moment, then walked to the side and called Lu Yuexi.

In two or three sentences, Assistant Wen said, "I'll take you there."

Zou Feiniao felt more and more strange.

When they arrived at the place, it was not Lu Yuexi's office, but a tea room for entertaining.Her office is on the ninth floor of the building, and the tea room is on the third floor.

Assistant Wen took a Lipton black tea bag and made it for her, put the cup in front of her and said, "Wait a minute, wait about 5 minutes before going up, okay?"

Zou Feiniao took the cup and took a sip silently, then nodded.

After about 5 minutes, Assistant Wen looked down at the phone: "Okay, let's go."

Take the elevator up and arrive at the door of the general manager's office.

Before entering, Zou Feiniao handed the bag to Assistant Wen and coughed lightly: "Give it to her first, I'll go to the bathroom."

She often comes to this floor, and she can find the bathroom quickly.

There is white sandalwood burning inside, which smells a bit strong at first glance.

Zou Feiniao came out after using the toilet and went to a window on the corridor wall to get some air.

He glanced outside casually, and his eyes couldn't help but stop.

While staring, the tall figure in a blue and white color-block down jacket walked farther and farther between the tall buildings, and then disappeared.

Zou Feiniao stood by the window for a long time, took off his glasses, wiped them with his cuffs, and put them on casually.

It's just that his expression is not as relaxed as before.

As the end of the new year approaches, banners and lanterns are hung everywhere on the street, as well as messages to welcome the new year.

The bus is very stuffy, and I feel relaxed when I get off the bus.

There are buildings of different heights everywhere, the streets are slightly messy, and the intersections are private banks or chain hotels.

The traffic police station is hidden behind two big banyan trees, and vehicles pass in and out through the automatic iron sliding doors.

Zou Feiniao went to the guard room to register, and couldn't help but ask after registration, "Is there a police officer named Ye Huai here?"

The guard said yes.

He also asked if the person was working inside.

The guard let her go in and ask by herself.

Go inside and ask the front desk.

Ye Huai was not there, and was dealing with a traffic accident outside.

Zou Feiniao was very patient, sitting in the office hall and waiting for a long time, his eyes kept on the gate.

About three hours later, she finally saw a slender figure riding a police motorcycle driving towards here.

Zou Feiniao stood up, straightened his clothes, and strolled towards the other party.

She wanted to ask in person, what other people said about Lu Yuexi's ten years.
