——Reunion——

Five years later, Jinqin Finance.

The glass door of the marketing director's office was knocked several times before a girl in 10cm high heels poked her head in and pushed the door open.

The office was pitch-black, and one could only vaguely see a young man in casual clothes tilting his head on the main seat, squinting his eyes for a nap.Hearing the slight footsteps, the man lifted his eyelids and raised his head.

"Director! Mr. Fu flew to Paris on the earliest plane today, and talked with Mr. Lin of the branch about the new quarter's project follow-up investment. The company's financial statements for the last quarter will be signed by you, and..."

The director pressed the remote control, and the curtains slowly opened, revealing a huge glass curtain wall.

The strong sunlight shone in, and the office was instantly lit up. The young man covered his eyes.

As soon as the young man stretched out his hand, the secretary Kevin understood immediately, and quickly sent a message: "A glass of Low Infra White, skimmed milk in the director's office."

The young man glanced at him and breathed a sigh of relief: "Kevin, before you enter the door next time, meet Aunt Gu, the cleaner. I worked overtime at the company last night to see the team's bidding plan."

The man broke his fingers heavily, and the joints made a "click" sound.

There was no trace of warmth in his voice: "You should have delivered Fu Ruibai to my table 5 minutes ago, and at this point, you should negotiate with Herui Technology to terminate the contract."

Kevin panicked: "Director, their team has already started to operate, Mr. Fu means..."

The man's eyes turned cold, and the secretary shut up instantly.

He said: "A company with a team of 30 people's performance in the last quarter was 12% lower than that of a studio with 20 people. Why should such a company be kept?

Charitable donation?I remember that in the VAM agreement, if any quarter fails to meet the expected target, all assets under Herui's name will be auctioned off at a low price for mortgage.Send them a message to Mr. Wang, and they will declare bankruptcy within five days. "

The intern staggered to bring the Flat White, trembling with fear from the coercion inside, it was Kevin who snatched the coffee, and she patted her chest and left angrily.

The director took a sip of Fu Ruibai, and glanced at the financial statements on the table: "Since I joined the company, the financial director has been on maternity leave. It's been almost three years. Is she pregnant with Nezha?"

Naturally, Kevin knew that his position was not enough, so he couldn't complain about other senior leaders in front of the leader, so he just pursed his lips and didn't say a word.

"Mr. Fu said when will he return to China?"

"This..." Kevin hesitated, "He stopped by to pick up wine from a private winery in Bordeaux, and he might even go on vacation with the head of the branch."

"Director Bai, for the afternoon interview with the interns in the marketing department, Mr. Fu wants you to attend."

Bai Jiang's expression was so unbearable, he just signed for the work of the finance department, and now the personnel department is rushing again.

"Remember to remind me at the end of the year, ask Mr. Fu to pay three times the salary." Bai Jiang put on his coat, "Send me the list of new interns from the marketing department to my computer, and remind me sometime at noon, I will go out for a while. "

As soon as he got out of the elevator, passers-by hid far away to greet him.Everyone in Jinqin Finance knows that after graduating from university, it took only one year for Bai Jiang to take the position of director, and he has a very good personal relationship with Mr. Fu.

There were even more rumors in the company, and it was rumored that he was Mr. Fu's illegitimate son.

The driver parked the car at the door, Bai Jiang's expression turned cold, he suddenly remembered something, turned around and took the elevator downstairs again.

He watched the buttons in the elevator flicker, took eye drops, and stayed up late last night with badly swollen eyes.The phone vibrated in his trouser pocket, and he picked it up without looking at it.

"Director Bai, do you have time to have dinner at the restaurant tonight? I'll show you my girlfriend." The voice was still as frivolous and uninhibited as ever.

Bai Jiang went out and glanced at the watch in his hand: "Dou Jingzhe, if I remember correctly, this should be your first..."

He knelt with his fingers: "There are 13 girlfriends. Of course, these are your appointments for dinner, excluding those who went to bed and had expectations of getting married."

"That's what I said." Dou Jingzhe was on the other side of the car, and there was a woman's sneer, and she was talking coquettishly, "Isn't this thing about feelings just for fun? You can only know whether it is suitable or not. Let's talk about it , Everyone who is with me knows that I have so many responsibilities, and they are still rushing to date me.

They like my money, and I like their appearance, each takes what they want, and the bastard looks at mung beans.Are you coming? "

"No." Bai Jiang slowed down.

"Isn't it a show?" Dou Jingzhe said, "The best way to get out of the relationship is to quickly enter the next paragraph. The relationship between you and Xu Ziqin should have been broken long ago."

Bai Jiang was taken aback.

Dou Jingzhe beeped non-stop: "Your university is in Beijing University, Qingbei People's University has searched all over, but I haven't found anyone for four years, do you still want to continue your relationship with him?

That was all in high school, how naive, it's time to let it go!

Maybe someone has already found a partner, so don't hang yourself on a tree, it's not worth it.For a young talent like you, regardless of gender, you can take it all. "

Bai Jiang paused with his fingers, and did not respond for a long time. When he came to his senses, the other party had already hung up.

Yes, time flies so fast, it's been five years in a blink of an eye.When he was in the third year of high school, he was angry on the couch and tried his best to get into a better university in Beijing. He worked hard and studied all night before he got into BIT.

I didn't go to report on the first day of school, so I went to Qingbei with great interest to ask questions.

He always thought that Xu Ziqin would abide by the agreement and take an entrance examination for a university in Beijing, and the two of them would find a house to share.

But he was wrong. He spent half a year visiting all the colleges and universities in Beijing. He even took into account the factors of Xu Ziqin's failure in the college entrance examination.

He thought about asking Aunt Qin and Uncle Fu, but he still didn't ask.

It was a bit strange that he was the one who got rid of him back then, but now he is begging for nothing.

He always thought that as long as he was in Beijing for four years in college, he might meet Xu Ziqin by chance, and as long as he graduated and returned to the city where Xu Ziqin lived, he would always be able to meet him.

In five years, I haven't encountered it once, as if it was destined in the dark.

He has been to Bishuiwan and learned about the Qin family.Later, he worked various part-time jobs during his four years in college. After graduation, he was promoted by Fu Annan as the director of the marketing department, creating hundreds of millions of value for Jinqin Finance.

He wanted to buy the suite that Bishuiwan once lived in with the young master.But the original buyer of that suite didn't care about it, the house was old and dilapidated, the room that originally belonged to Xu Ziqin was in a mess, and even the walls were painted with graffiti art.

"Xiao Jiang, your coffee." When Qin Yang packed the coffee for him, Bai Jiang took it with both hands, hesitated for a moment, then turned and left.

Since joining Jinqin Finance, he would find time every day to come to Qinyang's coffee shop to buy a cup of coffee. Even if he didn't drink, he would come to sit and find a private room to work.

Except for the closure of the coffee shop for a year, I have never been absent.

After Bai Jiang waved goodbye to Qin Yang respectfully, the waitress put her arms around Qin Yang's arm: "Boss Xiao Bai never misses for 360 days, just like your own son, last time he gave you a bunch of The luxury goods are all limited editions. Ordinary people can’t get them, why don’t they accept them? If I have such a son, I will wake up from my dreams with laughter.”

After Qin Yang finished the coffee and put it in the restaurant to ask someone to pick it up, he glanced at her when he had time: "The premise is that you have to have a boyfriend."

Being so provoked by Qin Yang, she immediately felt uncomfortable, and when she was checking out at the counter, she joked gossipingly: "Boss, I heard people say that you have a son? I haven't even seen it."

Qin Yang paused, and continued to wipe the dust with the rag.

The waiter said again: "I have been working in the coffee shop for three years. If I hadn't heard people mention it, I would have thought you were a noble and elegant celibate."

Qin Yang slapped her on the head: "Do your job."

Airport……

Overcrowded, even if it is not a holiday, there are still so many people!

A young guy in a pure black singlet came out with a suitcase. He had lovely eyes, exquisite facial features, and fair to bright skin. He was just like a high school student, but with a little more maturity and vigor.

Finally returned to China, Xu Ziqin sighed with emotion.

Looking at the familiar environment around him, he stretched and took a breath of the air of his hometown.A child ran past him and dropped a black sugar plum.

Xu Ziqin calmly picked it up and handed it to him.

Little boy: "Give it to my brother."

Xu Ziqin patted him on the head: "My brother doesn't like sweets."

The online car-hailing interface is still stuck at the airport elevated, and the navigation is blocked in a large area of ​​red. It seems that it will not arrive in half an hour.

At this time, a tall and handsome man with yellow hair and blue eyes behind him hugged him from behind, hugged him in a circle, Xu Ziqin was so scared that he almost wanted to swear.

"Put me down, Mike, this is China, do you think it's appropriate for two men to hug each other at the airport?" Xu Ziqin tidied up his clothes, bought two bottles of water, and handed him one.

Mike took a sip and put a hand on his shoulder: "Five years, Xu Ziqin, how many five years are there in a man's youthful years? Do you remember your promise? You said that we are in love, five years later You just go to bed with me, count the days, there is one last day left."

"Did I say that?" Xu Ziqin yawned, "I forgot."

"Don't be so arrogant. I'll tell you. I've been chasing you for five years. When you first came to New York, I rented you such a big villa with an outdoor swimming pool. You didn't even look at it. I can't bear to live."

Xu Ziqin glanced at WeChat, sent a text message to Qin Yang, and then continued to pull the suitcase out: "Is that for me to live in? The room is full of flowers, and the waiter speaks with a pure American voice. Sir, is this what you plan to do?" Condoms. Just wait for me?"

Mike: ...

Mike looked powerless: "Didn't you not follow me? Anyway, I don't care, after today you have to date me."

Just after finishing speaking, seeing Xu Ziqin sending a message, he glanced at the phone interface, and it said "Mom".

Mike suddenly had a flash of inspiration, grabbed his mobile phone, and said: "Auntie, let me introduce you formally. I am Mike, Xu Ziqin's boyfriend. From now on, you will be my mother."

Xu Ziqin's mineral water almost spewed out, and he wanted to take his mobile phone, but Mike kept occupying it.

Mike took advantage of his height and easily lifted the phone above his head. Xu Ziqin jumped a few times, but he couldn't grab it, so he had to give up.

After 2 minutes, Qin Yang's WeChat message came back: "Xiao Qin, bring me back to have dinner tonight."

Xu Ziqin: ...

I want to kill you.

Xu Ziqin has not been back to China in the past five years, and the occasional contact with Qin Yang is also a video chat.

The domestic changes are quite big. The airport has been refurbished and is at least twice as large as before going abroad. Back then, the inside and outside of the airport could be clearly distinguished. Now I don’t recognize it at all, and I have to look at the signs.

Maybe it's because I have been abroad for a long time, and everything in China is strange.

In his first year in New York, he was not used to it. He couldn't eat well or sleep well.He had seen a psychiatrist before going abroad, and he was moderately depressed, and he was in a state of confusion and isolation from the world.

Fortunately, Mike gave him regular psychological counseling. In addition to going to and from class, he also took him to play around, and he recovered.

"Hi, Michael, how are things with my cousin? Have you returned to China?" When Wang Zijie's video chat was sent, the two were sitting behind the online car-hailing car.

Xu Ziqin leaned on the back seat to catch up on sleep, Mike pressed the password of Xu Ziqin's mobile phone, and connected the video.

"Shh!" Mike put a finger on his lips, and shook the phone towards Xu Ziqin, "Fall asleep, just got off the plane."

"Have you succeeded in the strategy?" Wang Zijie got straight to the point without ambiguity, "It's been five years, brother, nothing happened to you two? You have returned to China, if you don't speed up the progress, be careful of being cut off. I tell you."

"I understand! Cousin, I will work hard." Mike has a flattering look on his face. He is a master of psychology. He is the best at pleasing people. "Today is the last day. Speaking of that matter, he would always refute, and today he did not say anything, expressing his acquiescence, and I have a chance. Where there is a will, there is a way!"

Shen Tiandong put on a mask, and entered the mirror forcefully: "My cousin is still very good, he can control you to death, you can only watch but not touch, if I were you, I would collapse."

"By the way, we're going back to China in two days, let's get together then." After finishing speaking, Wang Zijie took out his phone and poked it a few times, "By the way, you share a house with my cousin in New York, right?"

Speaking of this is the pain in his heart, Mike looked distressed: "Cousin, don't talk about it, the shared two-bedroom and one living room. He locks the door at night, like guarding against thieves. I am the kind of careless Do people agree to want that kind of person? Hey, why do you ask this suddenly?"

Wang Zijie: "You and I mean that after returning to China, the four of us will share a larger two-room room, so that you can justifiably live in the same room with my cousin?

Five years, it means he has feelings for you.He is just an elm-headed man, if you wait for him to take the initiative, you may be out of luck in this life, remember what I said, make a move when it is time to do so, the overlord is also a good way to force his bow. "

Shen Tiandong: "That's right, that's how I chased after your cousin back then."

Wang Zijie: "Remember what I said, the Overlord bows hard, ah!"

Mike worked hard, full of confidence, and cheered himself up: "Yeah!"

Xu Ziqin raised his eyelids and kicked Mike: "I heard it!"

When I don't exist is not it?

When Bai Jiang got out of the car, the driver helped him drive the car away.He just took time to visit the old man in the hospital. Although the dementia has been suppressed, sometimes he can't recognize people clearly.

When he just went to visit the old man, the old man leaned against the edge of the bed and shouted to him: "Xiaoqin, you are here."

This was not the first time that the old man recognized him as Xu Ziqin. Five years ago, after Xu Ziqin rented a milk tea shop for him, the old man had been thinking about Xu Ziqin all the time. He always felt that he had a bad attitude towards him and was sorry for him.

So much so that now he can't even remember the name of his own grandson, every time Bai Jiang visits him, he will comfort him: "Xiao Qin is here, he will come."

Although he said it calmly, he knew in his heart that this was deceiving himself and others.I haven't seen a single face for five years, maybe Xu Ziqin is already living abroad, or working hard in another city.

"Director Bai, can you take a look at the list?" Kevin handed him the iPad, and Bai Jiang squeezed his brows, rubbed his temples, and waved into the office.

He doesn't like to see this, he has just graduated for a year, but every time he sees the new interns, he always feels that they are naive, let's take the interns recruited last autumn as an example, Fu Ruibai was able to transfer them last week like the taste.

It's really not as good as every year, it's too bad.

The interns who just arrived didn't feel that they were too bad, after all, they were all brushed up layer by layer, and those who made it to the final round of interviews with the boss were more or less at the same level.

Bai Jiang ate a piece of pizza to cushion his stomach at noon, and was invited by Xiao Zhang from the HR department to go to the conference room to prepare for the interview.

Xiao Zhang has been in the company for almost 10 years, everyone in the company calls him Xiao Zhang, Bai Jiang is much younger than him, although he knows it is not polite to call him Xiao Zhang, but he still follows suit.

"Boss Fu intends to promote you as vice president, and this matter will probably be put on the agenda by the end of the year." Xiao Zhang handed Bai Jiang a bottle of mineral water.

As soon as Bai Jiang got started, he caught a glimpse of the mineral water brand, was startled, and sent Kevin a WeChat message.

"Kevin, bring in a box of water and ask for my brand." After that, he said respectfully, "I drink weak alkaline water, sorry."

"It's all right." A forced smile appeared on Xiao Zhang's face.

Sure enough, those female employees in the company who gossip at the water bar are right. This director of the marketing department who has just been here for more than a year is not simple, not to mention his strength. I thought he was the CEO.

After several rounds of interviews, several interns were blushed and thick necked when they were asked. The most frequently asked question by Bai Jiang was: "Can you accept working from nine to nine, taking a single break, and working overtime at any time?"

Interns: ...

abnormal!Which normal intern would accept that?But although these people didn't say it clearly on the surface, they had already scolded a hundred times in their hearts.

"I heard that this time there is an airborne comer, a returnee who studied in the United States, I feel like a big shot." Xiao Zhang drank his saliva and pointed to the resume on the iPad.

Bai Jiang was just replying to the Chief Financial Officer's message: "Director Ren, don't tell me that there will be Jin Zha and Mu Zha after Nezha has given birth? I won't see you busy in the office next month, so you go to Africa or Let’s report from the North Korean branch.”

After replying to the message, he asked as if waking up from a dream: "What did you just say?"

Xiao Zhang:  …

Xiao Zhang: "The next one is a returnee. Mr. Fu arranged to come in. Just go through a process and go to your marketing department in the future. Don't make things difficult for him."

Bai Jiang was speechless.

Embarrassed?

Nine to nine, single breaks, and working overtime at any time are his norm.As a director, the boss of the marketing department can accept it, but the intern who just entered the society can't accept it?It's too hypocritical.

Of course, he has no private life in the whole company.

No dates, no vacations, I turned my whole life into a workaholic, and when I got busy, I spent the Chinese New Year discussing cooperation with others.

"Returnees?" Bai Jiang snorted coldly and took a sip of water, "I didn't get any news from Mr. Fu. Even if I went through the back door, I would go to the wrong place. Here, all people are treated equally. If I don't like it, I will chop it off anyway." .”

Bai Jiang is very principled in doing things, even Uncle Fu is afraid of him, even if he decides not to let this person go, Uncle Fu will not make things difficult for him.

After all, hard power is not enough to justify.

When the door was pushed open, there was a sudden commotion outside.Bai Jiang frowned, and wanted to call the security guards to invite out all the noisy people outside the door.

A black figure walked in.

There was a gust of wind, Bai Jiang suppressed his anger, and when he raised his head, he was shocked.

In the next second, he frantically picked up the iPad to check whether he was delusional or dreaming.

That's the person's name on the resume on the screen, yes.

Xu Ziqin...

In addition to Bai Jiang's surprised face, Xu Ziqin's expression was also not right, and he even felt inexplicable.

Two people who haven't seen each other for so many years reunite in this way?Incredible.

He suddenly realized why Uncle Fu asked him to come for an interview today, it was all planned.

Xu Ziqin glanced coldly at the marketing director's sign on Bai Jiang's table, smiling but not smiling.

Xu Ziqin said, "I'm here to interview human resources."

Bai Jiang: ...

Clearly, Xu Ziqin's resume stated that he was applying for a job as an assistant to the marketing department, so it was deliberate at first glance.

Xiao Zhang was so excited that the human resources department finally got a job. Just about to get up, he said, "I'm very..."

Bai Jiang couldn't restrain his joy: "I'm sorry, the human resources are full, as long as there is a position in the marketing department."

Xiao Zhang:? ?

Xu Ziqin:? ?
