surface light

—that vulgar yellow skin—

The dinner was neither salty nor weak. Qin Yang's cooking skills have improved a lot compared to five years ago, but Xu Ziqin always felt awkward when eating. Maybe it was because he was in the middle of the struggle between Bai Jiang and Mike. Get out and breathe.

Qin Yang's fingers had calluses, his skin was rough, white silk was crawling on his temples, and he was getting old.

In the past, Qin Yang would always tell Xu Ziqin that the most important thing for a woman is to take care of herself, to look comfortable to herself, and to be pleasing to the eyes of others.But now, that person who loves beauty has been devastated by life and time, making her worthless.

When Qin Yang was washing the dishes, Xu Ziqin approached and hugged her from behind, his face was so close to her back, feeling the familiar smell, he couldn't bear to call her mother.

That night, Xu Ziqin still slept in his room.

Originally, Mike and Bai Jiang fought fiercely and refused to leave. They insisted on sharing the same bed with him, but Xu Ziqin kicked them all out.

The layout of the room hasn't changed much, the only difference is that the big bed leaning against the inner wall has been moved aside, and is now next to the bay window.

As before, he climbed onto the bed, sat down by the bay window, and subconsciously stroked the green plants by the window.

Spotless.

Qin Yang will clean the room regularly, within five years, without exception.

"Hello? Xu Ziqin! Have you returned to China?" After receiving Wang Zijie's call, Fei Jin immediately called Xu Ziqin.

Back then when Xu Ziqin went abroad, the iron boys in the second class held beer bottles and wept bitterly, saying that whoever forgets who will be the grandson in the future.

Five years have passed, and both of them have graduated from university. Fei Jin and Huang Dan took the postgraduate entrance examination of Zhejiang University together. Now they are working on projects with their mentors in Hangzhou, so they can come back during the Chinese New Year.

"Looking for a chance to get together?" Fei Jin asked.

Xu Ziqin readily agreed: "I'll ask you something."

"You said."

"How is Liu Shen?" Xu Ziqin asked.

"Do you still remember him? I thought you left all of us behind after you went abroad.

After graduating, I heard that he went back to his hometown and became a personal trainer for a powerful corporate boss.

His daughter-in-law Xue Xi opened an educational institution in the city after graduating from normal school, uh...it's on Sanyuan Road near No. [-] Middle School. Anyway, you can go and see them when you return to China. "

The street lights outside the window flickered several times, and no one reported to repair the broken street lights in the dilapidated community, which was surprisingly deserted.

It was late at night, so Qin Yang brought Xu Ziqin a glass of milk, and told him not to stay up late, and to go back to Fu's house when he had time.

After hanging up the phone, Xu Ziqin sat by the window for a while, smoked a cigarette, and checked the navigation according to the address Fei Jin sent.

I don't know who chose the name of the educational institution, but it is actually called "Xerxi Education".

When inquiring about the specific location, Xu Ziqin felt trembling in his heart. Sanyuan Road left a memory of his youth, whether good or bad, it was always a part of the past.

I don't know whether the milk tea shop given to Bai Jiang has changed hands now, or is still under the care of his grandfather.

Speaking of which, I don't know how the old man is doing. Is Aunt Bai Lu's illness getting better?

Jinqin Finance.

After ten o'clock, the lights are still brightly lit.In the marketing director's office, Kevin was dangling on high heels and was about to fall at any time. It was the intern who helped her to stagger and stand still, staring intently at the rotating massage chair in the director's office.

The intern gossips in a low voice: "The company has spread the news. Mr. Bai hugged a handsome guy in the coffee shop on the B1 floor today, and dragged him to the fire escape. I heard it was a forced kiss."

"Returnees, inside news, Mr. Fu's son, my dear." Kevin has been with Bai Jiang for a long time, and he has long practiced the ability to talk about blockbuster news with a calm face.

The intern who had never seen the world was shocked. This kind of gossip news involving the company's senior management was too attractive. When she was about to pull Kevin to ask for details, a gust of wind suddenly hit her face, and a man in a suit and leather shoes was angry. He sat down at the workstation and took a sip of the iced water that had been prepared.

The director's expression is extremely ugly. It is the first time Kevin has seen such an expression on Mr. Bai's face since he joined the job. When he signed the 8 million project in his hand, he was calm and not even trembling. It's not like a young man who just graduated.

"Xiao Bai Boss." The intern took the water glass from the director, and he gave him a cold stare.

The intern was so frightened that he started to shake his hands, and couldn't even hold the cup, so he hurriedly corrected: "Boss Bai."

"Xiao Zhang is a piece of trash. He can't even keep people around. It's so strange. Some of them parachuted to Jinqin, and some of them ran away halfway." Kevin said angrily after seeing Bai Jiang's bitter face. No, let's arrange for Mr. Fu to be the director of the personnel department?"

The intern is also a superb master who has practiced observation and observation. Seeing that Director Bai's face has not changed at all, he quickly offered advice: "I will definitely take good care of Mr. Fu and serve him well."

"Want to get promoted?" Bai Jiang raised his eyelids and stabbed him, "His surname is not Fu, but Xu."

The intern is also a person who looks at the dishes, so he immediately changed his words: "Mr. Xu."

Bai Jiang: ...

Bai Jiang leaned back in his chair: "How is the next quarter's research and development contract of Yunchuang going? Mr. Fu told you to follow up before he went to Paris."

Kevin was startled and kept silent, as if killing her.

Bai Jiang leaned forward, pressed his elbows on the table, and stretched out his palm: "Give it to me."

"I'm sorry, Boss Bai, I didn't sign it." Kevin said hastily.

The expression on the other side exploded in an instant. Originally, he had a suffocated meal, but he was so suspicious of his life by the gringo, and he was frustrated in love. Now he even encountered such a mess in the workplace.The projects he handled in vain, are there any projects that he can't take down?

He smiled coldly, as if murderous intent was about to rush out the door, the air in the office froze to freezing point.

"I'll give you a minute to explain the reason." Bai Jiang took a sip of ice water to defeat him.

"Yunchuang originally agreed to cooperate with us in research and development before Mr. Fu went abroad. Mr. Fu felt that they were an established cooperative enterprise of the company, and he was anxious to discuss projects abroad, so he agreed verbally and did not leave the contract. Unexpectedly, Mr. Fu just left , they just..."

Bai Jiang couldn't bear to lose face: "Are you blaming Mr. Fu?"

"Mr. Bai, I asked their project leader. They were supposed to sign it, but they were cut off by ONER halfway. The terms of the contract proposed by the other party were obviously better than ours. They came prepared."

When you say this, Mr. Fu will definitely squirt blood when he hears it.

ONER has been an in-depth partner of Jinqin for the past ten years, and the two parties have jointly invested in countless projects.

A week ago, Bai Jiang was instructed by Fu Annan to have dinner with President Dong of ONER's wind assessment department. The two companies have always had mutual interests.

Unexpectedly, there was a superficial thing in his hands, and a different thing behind the scenes.

As soon as Mr. Fu left, once the project went bad, ONER and Jinqin had cooperated for many years, and the interests were too involved. Naturally, Mr. Fu would not be too harsh on ONER.

But Bai Jiang is different. He is the director of the marketing department. If the project falls into his hands, if it fails at that time, he will be the first person to suffer.

ONER's move is really powerful.

"Then what should we do?" Kevin's brows were burning with anxiety. She didn't dare to report to Boss Fu. If something happened to Boss Xiaobai, her job would be completely shattered.

"You have a friend in ONER who is an administrator. Ask them about any major personnel transfers in their company recently."

Kevin was already very anxious and couldn't wait for a moment. He kept making WeChat and phone calls at night.

Half an hour later, holding her mobile phone in her arms, she stood in front of Bai Jiang who had already smoked three cigarettes and drank whiskey in fear.

"The director of the project department of ONER has changed. The son of the CEO is called Li Shanfeng. He just returned to China, and his overseas name is...Mike."

Baijiang's knuckles are slightly white.

Sure enough, the gringo was on the move.

Bai Jiang put on a coat, and pushed open the glass door without changing his face and heartbeat: "Kevin, prepare the car, let's go to Yunchuang."

The lights in the corridor were like daylight, and many pairs of tired eyes in the office cubicle were staring out, just waiting for this tireless fairy to leave before they could get off work.

The company has an unwritten rule that no one dares to leave work without the director of the marketing department leaving.

A series of rattling footsteps followed. Kevin, who can walk like flying in 10cm high heels, carried the second-hand Louis Vuitton bag he had just bought, and quickly followed with documents and notebooks.

Kevin smiled and gestured to the big guys in the office to withdraw.

One second before He Baisheng got on the elevator, her phone vibrated again.

The original smile froze.

Watching the elevator slowly descend, Bai Jiang casually glanced at Kevin who was staring at the screen silently.

Kevin looked at death and said: "Mike, the director of ONER's marketing department, just announced in the group that ONER's marketing department will implement a dual-director system, and the other... just returned to China, Mr. Xu, Xu Ziqin."

Bai Jiang: ...

Bai Jiang's face was blue and purple, he felt that he was nakedly despised.

If possible, he wanted to take an ice bath to calm down. Kevin was looking at Bai Jiang nervously, ready to be scolded.

Today, I just saw Boss Bai hugging the one in the coffee shop as if he was about to be abandoned, and he became the marketing director of ONER in a blink of an eye. Kevin, who is a secretary, couldn't stand the gap.

Although she didn't know the relationship between Mr. Bai and Mr. Fu's son who had just returned to China, she still decided to calm down, at least calm down.

Bai Jiang took a deep breath: "Call Mr. Fu, and you will say that his own son helped a foreigner steal Jin Qin's business and ask him to clean up the business."

Kevin is already stupid, so he can only smile.

"Also, ask him, that gringo's profile says he's a psychiatrist, why did he want to be a project director in the company? Are they printing money?"

"Okay." Kevin sank into his dantian, "Is there anything else you need to explain to Mr. Fu? I'll send an email right away."

After Bai Jiang was stunned for a moment, he said something that made Kevin's jaw drop: "Ask... Xu Ziqin, what happened?"

"Ah?" Kevin looked confused, "Then what... what is it?"

"Hey!" Bai Jiang roared, "That's it! That's it! They've been in New York for five years, have they ever slept together? If so, when, where, and what did they use. And ...How much time did it take, do you understand? Email me!!"

"Oh, yes, Mr. Bai." Kevin was yelled until his brain was hypoxic, and he urgently needed air.

Kevin's work efficiency is extremely high, typing is extremely fast, in the 5 minutes of going down the elevator and waiting downstairs for the car, he has already written the email, and checked it several times confidently to ensure that there is no problem, and he plans to click send .

The driver parked the commercial vehicle at the door, and Bai Jiang responded to a few work WeChat messages patiently. He was about to get in the car when he was stopped by Kevin's ethereal voice.

Bai Jiang pressed one hand on the door frame, and turned around with gritted teeth: "Say."

"Emails to Mr. Fu will usually indicate a suitable solution, so that he can make a choice."

Kevin cleared his throat, "May I ask Mr. Xu to help a foreigner rob Jinqin's business and ask Mr. Fu to clean up the house. What is the specific solution to this matter?"

Bai Jiang: "Either let Xu Ziqin join Jinqin, or I leave my job and go to ONER, choose one of the two, and if it's suitable, let that dead gay guy stay away from Xu Ziqin, I see that he feels very uncomfortable."

The door is closed.

"Boom!" Juechen left.

Kevin shivered in fright, and sent a message on WeChat after a while: "Get off work."

The WeChat group exploded, and people from all walks of life talked about it.

[I knew that Director Bai and Mr. Fu have a delicate relationship, so they are daughter-in-law. 】

【Hahaha! 】

[I said, why is Boss Bai not close to women? It turns out that he likes men, so that's not right. It is said on the Internet that the boss is gay, and he always looks for male assistants, so why recruit Sister Kevin? 】

Kevin couldn't bear it anymore and sent a voice message.

"What does Director Bai have to do with Mr. Xu if he likes Mr. Xu? Shut up! You guys can think about things if you want to climb up. Mr. Bai may not be able to seduce Mr. Xu. Go and seduce Mr. Xu, he is good-looking , I heard that your temper is still mild, I wish you all to join me soon."

After Kevin sent the message angrily, she felt extremely relieved, and calmly waited for the echoes and jokes from the male colleagues in the group. After a few minutes, she felt something was wrong and poked into WeChat.

shocked……

There is only one word difference between the name of the co-worker's teasing group and the company group. When she sent the message, she was so angry that she didn't polish her eyes. She posted the scolding message in the company group.

No wonder people choose to ignore it.

How to do?How to do?

Fortunately, no one saw it, she hurriedly withdrew, and just breathed a sigh of relief.

Bai Jiang's WeChat account appeared in the company group.

[Kevin, tomorrow you go to finance to receive three months' salary, and you are fired. 】

Kevin: ...

The appointment time with Xue Xi was at 10:[-] in the morning. Xu Ziqin waited at the door for half an hour for the car, and was about to step on the shared bicycle.

This morning Qin Yang went to a nearby fresh market, bought all the vegetables and put them in the refrigerator, then drove to the coffee shop.Completely busy yourself into a non-stop spinning top.

Miss Fu turned into an ordinary middle-aged woman who was running around for a living. Xu Ziqin thought his mother had a hard life, but she still gritted her teeth and made it through.

When Qin Yang delivered milk to him last night, he stopped by and asked about his uncle and aunt.

After he went abroad, Uncle Fu helped to repay more than half of the huge debts owed by the Qin family. In the past five years, they have all been repaid.

Now Qin Yuan is working as an ordinary employee in a small company, and Wang Zhizhi has opened a jade shop, and the income of the two is considered stable.

Qin Ziping was admitted to a local university after the college entrance examination, but did not go to graduate school. After graduation, she was poached to work in a state-owned enterprise. She was favored by her boss at a young age. I heard that she was still in love. The boy worked in a bank.

Qin Yuan's family lived their lives in a mediocre manner, and the Qin family's experience can be regarded as a first-hand experience of what is called prosperity must decline.

When a royal blue Lamborghini stopped at the entrance of the community, the man took off his sunglasses handsomely: "Handsome guy, where are you going?"

Xu Ziqin ignored him, glanced at the order on the mobile phone and no one answered it, so he could only smile and sit in the co-pilot.

Mike handed him a latte, and took a pair of sunglasses from his pocket to put on him.

"You..." Before Xu Ziqin finished speaking, the Lamborghini rushed away with a bang.

Yesterday Malasatti, today Lamborghini, driving is very popular.

"I gave you this car." Mike patted the steering wheel, "Do you like it? You can't refuse it if you don't like it. I just proposed it and it's still warm. It's a gift for my baby when I return home."

Xu Ziqin looked at him leisurely: "When will I..."

"I know, what happened last night didn't work." Mike pulled down his sunglasses, "but the date is right, yesterday was exactly five years. You promised yourself in Manhattan. If you don't find someone you like after five years, Then stay with me. Don't try to regret it, Steven has the tape."

Steven is an Eskimo he bought in Canada. In order to prevent interested people from coveting his pet dog, he frantically tied a smart bracelet on the dog's front leg, which also has a video function.

Mike turned his head and asked awkwardly, "I've walked around the gate of the community five times, where are you going?"

Xu Ziqin: ...

After sending him the location, Xu Ziqin took a nap by squinting his eyes, and the jet lag did not reverse.

"Baby." Mike leaned against his ear, and Xu Ziqin trembled several times in fright.

Mike pulled over and stopped, Xu Ziqin shook his hand: "I'm fine, don't call me baby, okay?"

"No." Mike said categorically, "You know what? Usually, when you are here, the one on the top likes to call the one on the bottom, so I seriously suspect that five years ago, when you were not in the third year of high school, that yellow skin was like that. Call you."

Who is Huang Pi?Xu Ziqin laughed for a long time before realizing what he was talking about.

He held it in for a long time before Mike said, "He can bark, why can't I?"

Life is not easy, Xu Ziqin sighed: "You won."

"Oh, by the way, baby, my dad organized a dinner party and asked me to take you to a family dinner. Both my second uncle and second aunt are here. Although we have met each other in the video before, I still want to meet you. "

Xu Ziqin snorted, "That's why you gave me the car?"

"No." Mike grinned, "Lamborghini and Maserati are so good together. Tonight, we will each have a car, and put it in front of the hotel. It's perfect."

Xu Ziqin's mind was completely muddled, and he responded to whatever he said.

Until he babbled for a long time, when the last thing was said, he was still in a daze, and asked back: "What did you just say?"

"I ordered a suit by hand in Italy in your size, in my villa."

"Not this, next sentence." Xu Ziqin's memory is not bad;

"From today, you will officially become the director of the ONER project department."

Xu Ziqin:? ?

Xu Ziqin: "No."

"Baby, you hugged me before you returned to China and made it clear that after returning to China, except for your Uncle Fu's arrangements, you will listen to me."

Mike talked eloquently, "You don't work in Jinqin's personnel department or marketing department, so just listen to my arrangements."

"Don't add any modifiers, I didn't hug you." Xu Ziqin said, "I drank too much that day."

After finishing speaking, Xu Ziqin repeated in embarrassment: "Shouldn't I hug you?"

The car stopped at Xerxy Education, Mike got up suddenly, and put his hands on the arms of the co-seat Xu Ziqin: "That's not the point! The point is that since returning to China, everything is out of my control, and the situation is heading toward Going in a messy direction."

"Don't mess with idioms!"

Mike yelled: "That's not the point! My confession is dirty, and my plan has changed. This is not my intention. That yellow skin made it clear last night that he wanted to pick you up. I feel that the two of you are showing signs of resurgence. As emotions As a veteran, I think this bad trend of turning back and turning back should be killed."

"Mike." Xu Ziqin smiled, "If I knew he was working in Uncle Fu's company, I would definitely not go."

"It turned out that you went, you two met, and he even kissed you, which I never did."

Mike touched his chin with his hand, "I'll give you a choice, either you will listen to me from now on, or you will make it up to me and let me kiss you."

Xu Ziqin: ...

"There is no third choice." Mike was visibly excited, "I have been chasing you for five years, and who am I going to cry to when I was cut off? My cousin just said that is a wise saying, and I should listen to him. Embarrassing me. I have decided, you can take a vacation when you return to China, and we will return to Manhattan in three months."

"Mike!" Xu Ziqin said, "You should calm down."

"I'm very calm!" Mike said, "I'm already a gentleman without kissing you, okay? That vulgar yellow skin took advantage of others when you were young and ignorant, and had a series of bad relationships with you. It's degrading, to me he is no longer Chinese, he is an Indian, an indigenous Indian."

Xu Ziqin: ...

Xu Ziqin: "Li Shanfeng, I was wrong, I can't say no to you, I treat you to dinner, okay?"

Mike:! !

Mike: "Xu Ziqin, please call me Mike!! I'm going to change my name today! We'll have dinner after changing our name."

Xu Ziqin: ...
