Assistant Lin Has Something To Say

Early on Monday morning, Lin Hui was late.

For his position, being late is not a big deal.But when Annie saw Lin Hui in a hurry in the elevator, she was still surprised.

"Lin Zhu, are you late too?"

Lin Hui couldn't put it into words: "Don't mention it, I got up late, but I took a taxi. The novice driver went the wrong way."

"Why didn't you drive?"

Lin Hui suddenly became a little unnatural: "I sent it for maintenance, but I didn't get it back."

After returning to the office, Zhao Xiaoxiao came to deliver the documents to him. Lin Hui signed and asked casually, "Is Mr. He in the office?"

"Yes. Mr. He came quite early."

Lin recalled the few WeChat messages lying in his mobile phone, and hesitated: "I——I will talk to Mr. He later, don't let anyone disturb us."

"Okay, Lin Zhu, when are you going?"

“9点30吧,不,9点45,算了，10点吧。我10点过去。”

Zhao Xiaoxiao didn't understand the difference between 9:30 and 10:[-], but she wrote it down: "Okay, I will help you confirm with Mr. He later."

Lin Hui hurriedly called to her: "No——don't bother."

Zhao Xiaoxiao felt that Lin Hui was a little strange today, but she nodded to show that she knew.

After chatting with Luo Ting yesterday, Lin Hui had already made up his mind. He would try his best to downplay this matter and restore their relationship to its original state.This is the best choice for myself and He Jianshan.Luo Ting scolded him for being a coward, but he admitted that he was a coward. He didn't have the courage and confidence to take this accident as an opportunity and look for possibilities in He Jianshan.He is afraid of variables, afraid of disappointment, afraid that the love he poured out will turn into a joke, leaving only an embarrassing ending in the end.It would be better to keep everything as before, although it cannot go further, but it is stable and long-term.

Lin Hui stood at the door, let out a deep breath, and knocked on the office door.

When he entered, He Jianshan had just put down the phone.He looked up and saw the familiar figure, he seemed to be startled, just about to say something, but he closed his mouth after seeing the other person's dodging eyes.He coughed lightly, waiting for Lin Hui to speak.

Lin Hui looked around a few times, and finally landed on the corner of the desk.There was a book with a red cover. Lin Hui looked at the book and said, "Thank you for saving me that day."

He Jianshan was silent for a while: "I..."

"Listen to me first—" Lin Hui began to breathe rapidly.

He Jianshan stopped and stared at Lin Hui seriously.

"That's right, that medicine, it actually has aphrodisiac ingredients. I was affected at the time, and I was not sober. I may have acted very irrationally, but that doesn't represent my true thoughts." Lin Hui mustered Courage raised his head and looked at He Jianshan, "You and I, just pretend nothing happened."

The air seemed to be sucked dry in an instant, and the silence was suffocating.

I don't know if it was Lin Hui's illusion, but he felt that He Jianshan seemed to be enduring something.There was emotion in his eyes, as if he was going to be involved in it in the next second.

"If this is what you wish," He Jianshan said slowly after a long time, "Okay, I promise you."

Obviously he got the answer he wanted, but Lin Hui didn't feel relaxed, instead, he felt a faint sense of loss in his heart.He squeezed out an ugly smile: "Oh, good. Then, it seems that my car keys were left at your house."

"Car keys? Even the quilt was neatly folded the day you left, didn't you see the car keys?"

Hearing He Jianshan's words, Lin Hui's face immediately turned red.He always felt that He Jianshan was angry, but he didn't know why he was angry, so he could only reply stammeringly: "I, I didn't see it."

He Jianshan stared at him for a while, finally sighed helplessly, and said in a low voice, "Come back with me after get off work and look for it."

"what?"

"I don't know what your car keys look like."

"……Oh."

He Jianshan thought of something, and said again: "Stop following Ruitao, the cooperation has been cancelled."

Lin Hui was startled, and forgot what he was going to say in an instant. He immediately entered the work mode, and quickly asked: "Why? The cooperation plan has basically been finalized, and the conditions proposed there are also what we want. If it is cancelled, then us--"

Lin Hui suddenly realized something and stopped talking.Feng Ying drugged him with the intention of seducing/rape him, but because of He Jianshan's appearance, he survived. Two days later, the cooperation between Wan Zhu and Rui Tao was cancelled.Judging by He Jianshan's tone, it was obviously proposed by Wan Zhu, so, was it because of him?

Lin Hui was suddenly at a loss. He looked at He Jianshan uneasily, but the other party lowered his head, casually opened the book in hand, and said calmly, "It's not because of you."

Lin Hui's eyes darkened: "...I see."

In this way, Lin Hui absent-mindedly went to work all day.After finally getting off work, he and He Jianshan came to the car one by one.Lin Hui habitually walked to the driver's seat, but He Jianshan also stood beside the driver's seat and took out the car keys. The two looked at each other, and He Jianshan said helplessly, "Take the co-pilot, I'll drive."

Usually when the two of them were together, Lin Hui drove a lot, and he would start playing music as soon as he got in the car. Today, with He Jianshan as the driver, the car was a bit too quiet.Lin Hui lowered his head and pretended to be looking at his phone, but the non-embarrassing conversation between the two in the morning was played in a loop in his mind.He never thought that one day he would have such a blunt conversation with He Jianshan. This wasn't going back to the past, it was a 180 steps back, worse than the first time the two met.He was inexplicably aggrieved, so he didn't want to speak, and He Jianshan didn't say anything, and the atmosphere in the car became inexplicably weird, as if there was an invisible glass between the two, but fortunately, the sudden ringing of the phone broke the situation for a while. dull atmosphere.

He Jianshan glanced at the central control screen and connected the phone: "Hello——"

"Old He, it's me." A hearty voice sounded from inside the car, it was Xue Pei, "Do you have time next week, come back with Lin for dinner at my place."

Hearing Xue Pei mention his name, Lin Hui looked over in surprise, and He Jianshan also raised his eyes to look at him. Their eyes met, and then they separated.

"what happened?"

"Didn't I tell you before, I've built a restaurant and it's going to open next month, so come and try the dishes for me."

"Understood, it shouldn't be a problem. You can confirm the time with me in advance. Then Lin will go back there—" He Jianshan paused, "You tell him again yourself."

For some reason, He Jianshan didn't tell Xue Pei that Lin Hui was in the car, and Lin Hui didn't want to make a sudden noise, so he pretended not to know anything.

Xue Pei was puzzled: "Does it need to be so troublesome? You and Lin Hui are together anyway."

"..." Lin Hui silently turned his head and looked out the window.

In this way, Xue Pei cast another layer of ice on the already weird atmosphere, and the two of them were silent all the way to He Jianshan's home.

When he came to He Jianshan's house for the third time, Lin Hui's mood was too complicated to express.The memory of that night was so deep that when he entered the bedroom, he could still smell the smell of lust.No matter how much he deliberately pretended to be calm and calm, his body had already betrayed him first—from the moment he entered the door, his face and ears began to turn red and hot, and he couldn't restrain himself at all.He Jianshan leaned against the door with his hands folded, watching him turn around, searched under and under the bed, but still did not find the car key.Lin Hui frowned, and was about to ask He Jianshan if he could go to the bathroom to take a look, but found that the other person was no longer at the door.He walked out of the room and saw He Jianshan standing by the dining table, putting the food in hand on a plate, and shouted: "Come and eat."

"..."

Lin Hui was a little confused. He felt that it was really embarrassing to have dinner with He Jianshan under such circumstances, but he said that he was the one who went back to the past as if nothing had happened. What reason did he have to refuse this dinner?And to be honest, he was a little hungry.He Jianshan ordered the dishes on the phone directly in the car, and the names were all served. When the two of them arrived at the community, they carried the takeaways upstairs. Not to mention, they smelled really good.Lin Hui went all out, and kept on doing nothing. With the mentality of "I'm not embarrassed, it's someone else", she sat down steadily.Seeing this, He Jianshan slightly curved his mouth, and pushed a few dishes towards Lin Hui.

The two ate their dinner in silence.But compared to being in the car, Lin Hui felt much more at ease.Because of work, the two often eat together. Lin Hui knows that He Jianshan doesn't like to talk a lot during meals, including the last time he was a guest here, he was the only one talking nonstop excitedly. He Jianshan Shan just looked at him and smiled, and added a few words at the right time.

He is a good listener.

Lin recalled that He Jianshan preferred listening to talking.But sitting in this position, he wants to "talk" over and over again: to employees, to partners, to government leaders, to everyone——

Eloquent, eloquent.

If it is said that He Jianshan has treated him differently from others all these years, then the biggest reason is that after he appeared, he "shielded" a lot of voices for him, allowing him to take off his mask in this noisy world and spend more time. take a break.

After dinner, Lin Hui bid farewell to He Jianshan.He has already decided to give up, and if it doesn't work, he should go back and find out the spare key.He Jianshan sent him to the entrance, Lin Hui bent down and began to change his shoes.He Jianshan saw him revealing a section of his glistening white wrist, following his knuckle fingers deftly moving through the rope.He stared at it for a while, then suddenly said, "Your car keys are in the left drawer of my office."

Lin Hui's hand paused: "Yes." He didn't ask why He Jianshan lied to him, but changed his shoes in silence, then turned around and stood facing He Jianshan.

"I'm going to Ninghai tomorrow, and then I'll go to Li Fenghai, and I'll be back around the weekend." He Jianshan took out the car key from his pocket and put it in Lin Hui's palm, "I'll drive my car back later, or I'll see you off."

Lin Hui swallowed the rejection that was on his lips. He held the car keys and stood motionless at the entrance.He Jianshan didn't urge him, but just looked at him quietly, not knowing what he was thinking.

"I'm sorry." After a while, Lin Hui finally spoke.He lowered his head, like a schoolboy who made a mistake, and looked a little frustrated.

"Why did you say sorry to me?"

"You advised me not to have too much contact with him, and even asked the driver to take me there, but I didn't listen. I—" Lin Hui took a deep breath, "I'm so stupid."

He Jianshan's fingers moved slightly: "No one can predict evil in advance, you are not wrong, don't apologize."

Lin Hui raised his head: "I also affected the company's cooperation."

For the past two days, Lin Hui's thoughts have been on He Jianshan, diluting the impact of Feng Ying's drug administration on him.After calming down today, recalling the whole incident, nausea and fear surged in my heart: If He Jianshan hadn't appeared that day, what kind of situation would he have fallen into?He knew in his heart that He Jianshan must have canceled this cooperation for him. Even though the cooperation had not really started, it meant that the original plan based on the cooperation had to be rearranged and adjusted.

Pulling the whole body, the cumbersomeness involved cannot be measured by a few figures.

Lin Hui blamed himself for this.He knew it wasn't his fault, but he still couldn't help feeling like he was being held back.After working as an assistant for so many years, he has become accustomed to thinking about things from Wan Zhu's standpoint, even if He Jianshan keeps cooperating with him, he won't feel that there is anything wrong.He is not a person who is kind enough to forgive crimes because he has not suffered any loss, but private matters are private matters, work belongs to work, he clearly divides it, and now...

"A risky partner is like a time bomb, and it's a good thing to dismantle it." He Jianshan's tone was very light, as if he said "it's not because of you" in the office, calmly comforting all Lin Hui's entanglements.

Lin Hui's eyes welled up a little, and he looked at He Jianshan stubbornly: "Others can say that, but you can't, it's not fair to Wanzhu."

The identities of the two seem to be reversed: He Jianshan puts his personal emotions into work, while his assistant reminds him to be responsible to the company.He Jianshan was inexplicably wanting to laugh, he really wanted to ask: "If this is the case, why don't you let me be responsible for you?" But Lin Hui's eyes were very serious, which reminded him of the first time he saw him. when.

For a while, neither of them spoke again.The light of the porch enveloped them gently, like a cocoon, wrapping up all the chaotic emotions.

He Jianshan looked at Lin Hui's soft hair, and suddenly asked, "Do you remember what I said to you when I was playing golf?"

They played a lot of golf and talked a lot.Lin Hui showed a questioning expression, not knowing which sentence he was referring to.

"We must constantly arm ourselves in order to have enough confidence to reject all malicious intentions."

Lin Hui was startled.

"Maybe you don't think so, but Assistant Lin—" He Jianshan took a step forward as if he had endured for a long time.Lin Hui's body tensed all of a sudden, and for a moment, he thought He Jianshan would hug him.But He Jianshan just pulled out a narrow red ribbon from the cabinet behind him, and then tied the ribbon around Lin Hui's wrist under Lin Hui's surprised gaze.

Lin Hui was completely dumbfounded.He stared blankly at the extra red bow on his wrist, only to feel that it was faintly hot and ready to fly.

He Jianshan laughed:

"In eight years, Wanzhu has already become your armor."

The author has something to say:

I don't know if you have noticed, but as of Chapter 25, He Jianshan has never called the words "Assistant Lin".In Chapter 26, before "tasteme", Lin Hui's psychological description mentions that He yelled these three words for the second time. In fact, the first time it was in the ellipsis, He Jianshan bit Lin Hui's Adam's apple and yelled.The position of assistant to the general manager only needs to be responsible to the general manager. For He Jianshan, this title and the action when he yelled these three words for the first time greatly satisfied his possessive desire. This is a very important Emotional details, because I had to delete this paragraph, resulting in a connection gap, so I will add it to everyone in the speech.

Finally, there was no update tomorrow, but I may be busy next Monday, so I will update it tomorrow in advance, so that there will be no update on Sunday and Monday, and continue on Tuesday.I wish you all a Happy New Year!
