give you a soft spot

When I saw Bai Yang downstairs in the company, I didn't say anything, neither did he.

Then he walked beside Xi Zhuo, talking about things with a serious face. To respect privacy, I didn't get too close, and walked half a meter behind Xi Zhuo with Jia Xiao and the other two security guards.

There seems to be some big event today. Many artists under the company showed up. When I was working here before, I didn’t catch up with such a complete set. When they went upstairs, their first destination was the big conference room.

The plain makeup of some artists is quite passer-by, it is difficult to associate with the glamor on the screen, and walking among the staff, it is even impossible to recognize who the main star is.

I saw Yan Yiyun, surrounded by three teammates, and made brief eye contact with me when we passed by. He smiled, and I laughed too.

Many people were busy greeting Xi Zhuo along the way, and he was overwhelmed, and then he stopped responding altogether.

Under the strict security measures, if I don't follow Xi Zhuo closely, I can't get in.

After getting out of the elevator, I went directly to Cindy, and seeing that her office was locked, I went to the next door.

There were two people in the room, one was He Xiu, and the other was unknown to me. The woman was sitting in front of me. It was not difficult to guess that she was a new colleague.

He Xiu, who was printing something, saw that my movements were stagnant when I came in the door. I put down the hand that was about to knock on the door, and joked: "Is there an illusion that I am still working here?"

He Xiu pinched the paper in his hand, pointed to an empty chair beside him and motioned for me to sit: "Passing by?"

For some evil reason, the more I looked at He Xiu's poker face, the more I wanted to tease him. I smiled and said, "Come here to do something with Sister Cindy, and I'll come to see you too. I miss you so much."

He lowered his head to organize the documents and stopped, and changed the topic under the weird smile of the female colleague, and gave a brief introduction: "Hu Qing, Cheng Ming."

As soon as He Xiu's words fell, Xiaoyou's voice sounded at the door.Before I could turn around, she patted me on the back hard: "Xiao Ge!"

It was this familiar force, Xiaoyou was right.I rubbed my back and laughed dryly: "Your strength has grown again."

"Wow," Xiaoyou trembled with a smile, "You suit this hairstyle so well."

I saw Cindy coming through the glass partition and got up to go out, but Xiaoyou grabbed my clothes and asked me to sit for a while, in order to get out quickly, in the end I was told by her with a smile on my face that we should reunite after a long time For some reason, I ordered dinner.

Cindy showed reluctance to me to inquire about Chen Zuoyi, and did not support my approach.The words she heard from Professor Ren reappeared in her mouth again. They all meant that the hope of letting Chen Zuoyi go out of the mountain was extremely slim.

I can't be sure whether it is a newborn calf not afraid of tigers or not giving up until the Yellow River. Even if it is extremely slim, I want to try it.

Cindy said after silence: "He hardly communicates with the outside world now, and I don't have an accurate number for communication. As for his home address, he has too many properties, and I don't know where he lives."

In short, she couldn't find anyone either.

But Cindy didn't just perfunctory me, but gave me an address after careful consideration.

"This is the school his son attends. I only know that he is in the first year of high school this year, and his name is Chen Anli."

I really don't know how to express my gratitude. We used to be subordinates, but now we just want to be classified as siblings. I didn't follow the rules, but I was very comfortable and casual about asking her to have a meal, and begged her not to refuse me.

Cindy smiled: "Okay, I won't refuse you."

I asked, "Are you free for dinner tonight?"

She replied: "Yes, just tonight."

Xiao You, who came to deliver things, happened to hear the second part of the sentence, turned to look at me, stared and said, "Didn't you say you were going to invite us tonight?"

I was stunned, and then immediately said: "Please wait another day, I will invite Sister Cindy first."

"Okay Xiao Ge, you've become smoother now, and you know which end is lighter and which is heavier."

I couldn't help laughing: "You admit that you are the light one?"

"You were not a poor mouther before!"

"Let's go together," Cindy interjected, "It's all our own people, so it's more lively."

I used to think that Xiaoyou was the most considerate of me, but today the name has been changed to Cindy.

As soon as I heard that I wanted a treat, Sun Ji, who came to deliver the report, also got involved.

Afterwards, it was like a snowball, more and more people rolled over, all of whom were close to me before, and Xiao Gao was the last one to know, shouting in the group not to forget to count him in.

I originally wanted to thank Cindy alone, but finally attracted a group of gluttons.I think it's okay, I was taken care of by them before, so I should be the host.

It's just that I didn't expect that Xi Zhuo would also get involved.Others were still having a meeting in the conference room, but the sour news came out.

"I heard that you wanted to treat me, and you took away half of my country, but you didn't call me."

I really want to shout, half of your country is turned upside down by yourself, okay?

"Then you come too."

"So perfunctory."

"Where is the perfunctory?"

"Say it again, say something nice."

I really don't know what sounds good, so I finally replaced the word "Brother Zhuo" at the beginning of the coded message with "Dear".

Then the old man blushed, pointed to send, and put the phone in his pocket, completely daring to see what content Xi Zhuo returned soon.

Xiaoyou dragged me back to her office to sit, saying that she was afraid that I would run away and wanted to watch me get off work at night.

I couldn't laugh or cry about her little girl's thoughts. I think she just wanted to be lazy and let me help her with the quarterly report forms.

During the chat, He Xiu learned that I opened a studio, and asked me after roughly understanding the situation: "So you are now selling clothes instead."

This big brother has always told the truth that I am indeed a clothes seller now. Many people call it a studio because of my face. In fact, the current business and scale are just an online store.I laughed dryly: "Yes, a clothes seller."

Xiaoyou took over the words: "Then He Xiu should let you promote it."

He Xiu and I said no almost at the same time.

Xiaoyou looked at us and raised his hands in surrender: "Okay, pretend I didn't say anything."

The brands that can be recommended by He Xiu are all very powerful characters. I can’t afford his promotion fee. It’s not the main reason why I don’t want him to help. It’s because he never does things sloppily. It will not be put on his recommendation list to deceive his tens of millions of fans.

This is the He Xiu I know, serious, ruthless, walking his own way.

I was around He Xiu and Xiao You all day, but I didn't see any intimate interaction between them at all. I suspect that I was wrong about the picture at the stairs.

In the evening after get off work and before dinner, I went to the bathroom with He Xiu, and he talked about Ka Kang Siyao again.

"I will always pay attention to it. It is best if you can grow bigger, otherwise I will not begrudge my ridicule."

Even the encouragement was suppressed by this guy, I teased: "I really want to see what kind of ridicule you have, can you really make that expression on your frozen face?"

He washed his hands and walked out before me: "It's very irrational to offend me before treating guests, just wait for bankruptcy."

I stopped where I was and took out my phone to check the message from Xi Zhuo that I hadn't clicked on all day.

He said: OK, let's go home together after dinner.
