Can't help feeling for you: can't live without you

Chapter 16: Unforgettable (3)
The people who spoke were fascinated, so he lightened his steps again, and after listening to them say a few more words, he felt that there was no need to let this kind of conversation continue, and he was too lazy to make a sound, so he lit a cigarette.

He didn't know whether he should feel happy or regretful.

Happily, he really saw Dong Zhiwei correctly, but unfortunately, he should have believed in his own vision, but now he is standing here inexplicably.

Hearing her hoarse voice, he thought of her coughing outside the office in the afternoon. It was so late and this place was really not suitable for talking, but he wanted to have a few words with her.

He put down the hand holding the cigarette and asked her, "Do you have time? Come to my car and have a chat."

Dong Zhiwei lowered his head and said, "Okay." Then he turned around and walked out of the alley first.

The two of them left the alley one after the other. The road was brightly lit. Yuan Jingrui never smoked the cigarette in his hand. When he came out, he pressed it on the cigarette tray of the first garbage bin at the intersection. Dong Zhiwei had already seen it. When they got to the familiar big car, it stopped on the side of the road, and Lao Chen was not there. It seemed that Yuan Jingrui drove over by himself.

He opened the door and sat in the driver's seat, and she also sat in it. With the door closed, all the noise was cut off, and the window was covered with a dark film, making her feel like she was in another space.

She whispered, "Mr. Yuan, there is something I want to tell you. Mr. Wen and I are old acquaintances. I used to work for him."

He nodded and answered her in a normal tone, "I see."

Dong Zhiwei often heard him say these four words, but this time he was flustered.

"Did Mr. Xia tell you something about me and him?"

She didn't want to say these things at first, but the profile of the man beside her in the shadow made her unable to keep calm. Why did Yuan Jingrui come?Come to ask her if she has leaked Cheng Fang's business secrets?To tell her she doesn't have to go to work tomorrow?Judging from what Wen Bailiang said to her before, she didn't think Yuan Jingrui would still trust her unconditionally like before.

But as soon as the words came out, Dong Zhiwei regretted it. Once she felt flustered, she would speak involuntarily, and said some stupid things that made her feel annoyed. Over the years, she felt that the word panic had been insulated for a long time, but tonight in front of Yuan Jingrui, she was still the same. Something went wrong.

Fortunately, Yuan Jingrui answered her quickly, "Ziqi did investigate some background information about Wen Bailiang, and it may involve some personal affairs between you and him in the past. It's not aimed at you, so don't mind."

Dong Zhiwei suspected that he had heard something wrong in this man's voice, but his tense emotions began to relax unknowingly.

She had seen Yuan Jingrui unhappy or dissatisfied, and even had the honor of seeing him fight fiercely. Although he occasionally smiled and judged a person as never hired or classified as an enemy, it would never be accompanied by the current situation. Such a tone.

He talked to her with such a gentle voice, which gave her the illusion that he would reach out and pat her the next second, telling her not to be afraid.

what happened to him?
The mood that had been relaxed just now suddenly tightened again. Dong Zhiwei moved unconsciously in this relatively narrow space, with his back slightly tilted, and moved a little closer to the car door. After thinking about it, he simply asked him directly. , "Mr. Yuan, if Wen Bailiang did something unfavorable to Cheng Fang, do you think it would be misleading to do my current job based on my past relationship with him?"

Yuan Jingrui smiled, "You are straightforward."

Dong Zhiwei remained silent, waiting for his answer.

"I've heard what you said just now." He was also very direct, and he didn't shy away from his sudden appearance.

Seeing him speak so bluntly, she thought about the conversation she had with Wen Bailiang just now, and knew that Yuan Jingrui must have understood in her heart, so she was really relieved, but she heard him add in a serious tone, "But I think Mr. Wen still treats you There are extravagant demands, if he turns back, Secretary Dong, will you miss the old love?"

He often joked with her, and Dong Zhiwei was used to it, but this time she immediately frowned, "Mr. Yuan, please don't make such jokes."

He glanced at her sternly, and Dong Zhiwei was taken aback when he saw it. Unexpectedly, the corner of his eye rolled in the next second, he smiled, and after he finished laughing, he said, "You have finally returned to normal, Secretary Dong, I am very sorry for your appearance just now." Get used to it."

This man actually took her uneasiness as a joke. She was so burned by his laughter that she became angry for a moment and lowered her eyes to not look at him.

The street lights on the street were bright, and after he finished laughing, he glanced at her again, half of her face fell into the light, and he saw the shadow of her drooping eyelashes on her face, and the slightly red ears.

He really enjoyed such a relaxed conversation, but Dong Zhiwei had already started to protest with silence, and based on what he knew about her, she would probably turn cold if it continued, so it was better for him to change the topic.

He put away his smile, "Secretary Dong, I want to talk to you about something and get your opinion."

She raised her head and answered him, "Mr. Yuan, if it's about Wen Bailiang, I don't want to know too much."

He raised his eyebrows, as if he was a little surprised, but he quickly smiled, "Alright, since you don't want to know, let's talk about it later."

Dong Zhiwei was shocked by Yuan Jingrui's tolerance and generosity today, but her physical fatigue made her unable to think about it any longer. She coughed lightly and asked again, "So, can I go home now?"

He nodded, "Yes."

She whispered, "Thank you", and was about to open the door and get out of the car after speaking.

But he suddenly said again, "Your voice is hoarse."

Can't you hear it?She almost begged for mercy. If the question and answer continued, when could she rest?
"Well, I will take medicine when I get home."

He glanced at her purse, which was full of books, "Did you go to class again tonight? Do you have time to buy medicine?"

She didn't have the habit of lying, she just shook her head, but immediately added, "I'll look for it when I go home, there should be regular medicine at home."

Having said that, Dong Zhiwei glanced at the time again, "At this point, all pharmacies are closed."

"I saw a 24-hour pharmacy on the way here, not far away." As he said this, the car moved forward.

Dong Zhiwei sat weakly on the passenger seat, looked weakly at the boss who was doing his own thing beside him, and didn't say a word.

Sure enough, the pharmacy is not far away, just turn two blocks away. At ten o’clock, the shops along the street are still brightly lit. The fruit shop, snack bar and small supermarket are closely next to each other. Surprisingly, the seats were full of people, and the hot pots were filled with white mist, and it was steaming from the outside of the glass door.

The pharmacy is right next to the hot pot restaurant. When getting off the car, Yuan Jingrui took a look at Dong Zhiwei. He really likes this way of supper. If she didn't catch a cold, he really wanted to suggest the two of them go in and chat for a while.

However, everything must be sustainable. Dong Zhiwei has been moving away from the original fixed and rigid pattern in front of him recently. He thinks it is very good, but a person's change must be gradual, and too hasty often leads to no good results. She is for him. The working hours are still very long, and he is not in a hurry.

The two of them entered the pharmacy together. Dong Zhiwei originally wanted to tell Yuan Jingrui not to bother him to get out of the car, but today the boss gave her too much surprise or fright, so much that she started to give up normal communication with him and let him get out of the car. He can do whatever he wants, and she really has no ability to stop him from doing what he wants to do.

Compared with the hot pot restaurant next to it, the pharmacy is quite deserted.There wasn't a single customer. A middle-aged man in a white coat sat alone behind the counter. When he saw the two of them coming in, he didn't stand up and only asked.

"What do you want?"

Dong Zhiwei walked over and said, "Hi, I want a box of Radix Banlangen."

The middle-aged man raised his head to look at her, because he was sitting low, his eyes were half exposed outside the glasses, "Oh, my throat is hoarse, do you have a cold? Take this medicine when you have a cold." He said. Then he stood up, walked to the other side, opened the glass counter, took out a pack of medicine for her, and pointed to the medicine box to introduce, "Here, this is imported from abroad. It has a very good effect, and one pill will be effective."

Dong Zhiwei often went to the hospital to dispense medicine for his mother, but he seldom went to the pharmacy himself. He felt helpless when he encountered such a recommendation, "I don't have a fever, and Banlangen is enough." He pointed to the glass cabinet behind him, "That's the one Seed, thank you."

Yuan Jingrui had been standing behind her, but now he said, "She still has a cough."

The middle-aged man glanced at the two of them, then turned around and took out cough medicine from another cabinet, "This cough medicine is good."

Dong Zhiwei took a look at the medicine bottle full of foreign languages ​​that he had never seen before, and was about to speak when Yuan Jingrui stretched out his finger, "Chuanbei Pipa Gao will do, that's it."

The middle-aged man in a white coat looked at the two of them back and forth again, turned around and took out the Banlangen and Chuanbei Pipa Gao from the corner of the glass cabinet, put them together on the cabinet, and opened another list. "Who pays?"

"I'll pay." Dong Zhiwei hurriedly opened the bag, but Yuan Jingrui had already taken the list, so she didn't give her a chance.

"Mr. Yuan!" She was anxious.

He had already paid, and grabbed those two things again, "Let's go, I'll take you back."

She almost chased him out of the pharmacy, talking while walking, "No, this is not far from my house, I can just walk back by myself."

He actually stopped, causing her to almost bump into him, and said, "Eat more pears if you cough, do you have pears at home?" Without waiting for her to answer, he walked towards the fruit stand on the side past.

The fruit shop is next to the pharmacy, and all kinds of fruits are placed on the sidewalk, red apples, yellow bananas, purple grapes, and there are actually several barrels of flowers next to them, illuminated by the bright shirtless light bulbs hanging above. A piece of colorful and vivid fragrance.

The boss who was sitting in the fruit shop stood up when he heard the sound, "Buy pears? Yes, the Tangshan pears just arrived today are fresh."

"Don't want this, but Sydney."

"Sydney also has them, five yuan fifty one catty."

"So expensive?" Dong Zhiwei was stunned when he actually bargained.

She was dreaming, Yuan Jingrui was buying pears at the fruit stand at night, still bargaining, she must be dreaming.

The boss is very good at doing business. When he was talking, he had already grabbed the Sydney pear and put it on the electronic scale.

Just like that, while Dong Zhiwei was still dumbfounded, Yuan Jingrui quickly completed another transaction, turned around and said to her with a plastic bag full of pears, "Get in the car."

He was used to being in charge, and she was used to obeying the boss's orders, and she was still in a state of shock, so she got into the car without knowing it, he started the car, and gave her everything in his hand.

"Take it."

Several catties of pears, together with isatid root and loquat paste, filled her hands with two full plastic bags. When the car started, the slight "click" sound of the four doors being locked rang in her ears. Dong Zhiwei was almost A shock came back to his senses.

No, she's not dreaming, it's all real.

The car stopped at the entrance of the alley, Dong Zhiwei pushed the door to get out, took a step and then turned around, Yuan Jingrui hadn't left yet, he sat in the car and looked at her, "What's wrong?"

Her hands were full of things, and it was difficult to put on a serious face. Her voice was still hoarse, and she said something hoarse, "Mr. Yuan, thank you very much today."

He smiled, "You're welcome, the most important thing is not to get sick, there are many things you need to do, it's very troublesome if you're not here."

She couldn't help it all of a sudden, couldn't control her face any longer, and unconsciously showed a smile, but quickly stopped it, like a flash in the pan, then said goodbye to him, turned and left.

But he didn't leave immediately, he just sat in the car and lit a cigarette, watching Dong Zhiwei's back disappear into the darkness of the alley, but he still thought of her smile before.

He didn't mean to be joking with her. He was glad that she had nothing to do with what Wen Bailiang had done. It was not easy to find a secretary, and it was even more difficult to find a competent one like Dong Zhiwei. It would be troublesome, he knew I need her.

So many things happened in one day, Dong Zhiwei originally thought that she would definitely suffer from insomnia that night, but she did not expect that after taking a cup of banlangen and two spoons of Chuanbei loquat cream, she would sleep well, but she still had a dream, in which The little boy appeared, this time he was being chased by a group of big men with ferocious faces, and the men behind him were menacing, she was still afraid, but she didn't run away, she just looked at him fixedly, and suddenly felt sad , feel distressed, and don't know what to do.

When she woke up, she felt that she was being ridiculous, what kind of man Yuan Jingrui was, who deserved sympathy from others?

Just as she was thinking, the phone on the bedside table rang. She reached out to answer it, and a man's voice came from the other side. It was Yuan Jingrui, who told her, "Secretary Dong."

She sat up from the bed reflexively, something important happened, and Yuan Jingrui called her mobile phone early in the morning.

The last time she received a call like this, after she put it down, she followed him for three whole nights, the sun and the moon turned dark, and she almost fell on the bed when she got home. The secretary is not good, especially Yuan Jingrui's secretary .

He seemed very satisfied with her quick response, and he spoke over there again. He didn't know where he was talking on the phone. There was wind in the background, but his voice was low. Maybe it was because she had just woken up. Different from usual.

He said, "Well?"

She was stunned for a second. He called early in the morning just to ask if she was okay?
But the answer was already in his mouth, and he cleared his throat silently before speaking, "It's all right."

Because of surprise, I even forgot to add the name.

"That's good. I'm afraid you're really sick and won't be able to leave the house today."

Dong Zhiwei put his hand on his forehead unconsciously, and saw the unpacked box of Banlangen and the brown bottle of Chuanbei Pipa Gao on the bedside table. Everything from last night came back: her relationship with Wen Bailiang Meeting again, and Yuan Jingrui standing on the street negotiating with people—all unbelievable, but all true.

"No, thank you Mr. Yuan for your concern. I will arrive at the company on time." She answered him with a slightly hoarse voice, but it was indeed much better than last night.

"You don't have to hurry." He still kept his voice low, as if speaking in her ear.

She was puzzled, but quickly understood, "Then I'll go to the hospital first."

"Will it be too hard for you?"

He spoke like this, which made her unable to resist. She took a moment to answer him, "No."

He smiled softly on the other end and said, "Thank you."

After hanging up the phone, Dong Zhiwei sat on the bed for another 2 minutes.

The shock of meeting Wen Bailiang last night was still there, and it should have made her feel uncomfortable, but her brain was automatically and spontaneously distracted by everything Yuan Jingrui had done and said these days, making it impossible for her to think properly about Wen Bailiang's sudden appearance. What is behind it.

When getting out of bed, Dong Zhiwei sighed in his heart. It is true that a person can achieve today's achievements because of his success, especially in terms of employing people. At least Yuan Jingrui managed to maximize the value of her work—and let her do it. You can't even complain.

What is a boss?that's!
