atypical dependency

That voice tore a hole in the quiet space, but the original surprise on Xiao Yi's face was fleeting.

His gaze fell on Ji Yi who came with Xiao Heng. Xiao Yi's gaze was deep, and Ji Yi also felt deeply remiss. She nodded respectfully at Xiao Yi and planned to persuade Xiao Heng to leave again.

However, that brat stood still at the door like a sculpture, turning a deaf ear to Ji Yi's various advices, poking Xiao Yi aggressively with his eyes, with the attitude of "I won't leave until you come out".

Silently confronted Xiao Heng for a moment, Xiao Yi smiled lightly, leaned forward to explain in a low voice to the bald client in front of him, straightened his collar and stood up.

When he came to Xiao Heng's side, he stared at him coldly, and said in a low voice, "You'd better tell me what's urgent."

Casting a cold glance at Xiao Yi, Xiao Heng snorted disdainfully.

Ji Yi pursed her lips towards Xiao Yi apologetically, but the man didn't mean to blame her, he just nodded at her and turned to the corridor with the collar of the brat next to him.

When the door was closed, Xiao Heng hastily glanced into Xiao Yi's office.

In an instant, the eyes of the middle-aged man in the room met his, and a smile of unknown meaning appeared on the corner of his lips.

The "trouble" Xiao Heng brought this time was beyond Xiao Yi's expectation.

I was mentally prepared to deal with the serious plots such as murder, arson, smuggling and drug trafficking announced by this kid, but the bastard boy who was always hanging around eating and waiting to die lazily leaned against the wall and told him with squinting eyes, "Mr. Call and ask him to email a foreign doctor and report his recent physical problems.

After Xiao Heng finished speaking, Xiao Yi was still seriously waiting for the deep-water torpedo after the sugar-coated shells, but the kid looked like he had already done everything, staring at him steadfastly, licking the corners of his lips back and forth, full of disdain.

"That's all there is to say?"

Regarding the fact that Xiao Heng made a special trip just to inform his mother of information, Xiao Yi felt that the sun was coming out of the south.

Although it is true that his mobile phone has been unable to receive overseas calls due to some malfunctions recently, and his adoptive mother is definitely not the kind of person who can bear to write emails and send social network information, it is not impossible to ask Xiao Heng to send a message.

But instinctively, he felt something was wrong.

He didn't have time to think about it carefully. Since he was negotiating with the client, he didn't have time to talk nonsense with Xiao Heng. Xiao Yi told the other party the priority of the matter. Just pass this kind of problem to his assistant. I didn't expect that kid to say "sorry , I hate your assistant, I don't bother to tell her."

Xiao Yi's expression became more and more cold.

However, through past experience, getting angry with this kid will not accomplish anything other than wasting his feelings, and he already knows it well.This time, without waiting for the other party to explain anything, he turned his head towards Ji Yi who was waiting not far from the corridor with a guilty expression on his face, motioned her to deal with this side, and then turned his head and walked towards the office.

Xiao Heng just leaned against the wall with his hands in his pockets, staring at Xiao Yi's back with a half-smile.

Ji Yi took advantage of the situation and rushed to Xiao Heng's side, hurriedly persuading Bian Xiaoli in a low voice, urging Bian Xiaoli to send the broom star away.

Xiao Yi walked to the door and was about to open it, but saw a bald customer in the back room already opened the door and walked outside.

When the two sides rubbed shoulders, the other party gave Xiao Yi an apologetic smile, saying that his company still had important matters to leave, and Xiao Yi also told the other party that the previous episode during the negotiation was due to their negligence.

Both parties apologized, and after the agreed time to meet, Xiao Yi sent the other party away.

Watching the client's short and fat figure disappear into the corner of the corridor, the polite smile on Xiao Yi's face dissipated little by little, and then was replaced by a touch of exhaustion.

He re-entered the room, stood in the temporary office and shook his head, feeling inexplicably frustrated.

Huihui and Xiao Heng met, and the smell of gunpowder that was hard to dissipate really got worse day by day.

Leaning against the door panel, Xiao Yi pondered alone.

The entire room smelled of cigarettes from the previous client. Xiao Yi put his hands in his pockets, and looked sideways at the sofa and coffee table where the two of them were negotiating.

After staring at it for a while, a trace of hesitation flashed across his brows, and by the way, he looked around the entire room.

The bright sunlight outside the window sneaked in along the edge of the window, giving a hint of warmth and softness, but the expression on Xiao Yi's face was quite different from the cheerful expression outside the window.

He stood by the coffee table for a moment, frowning and looking at his desk by the window.

His movements were cautious and his eyes were sharp, like a cheetah looking for clues left by an intruder. He moved slowly from the coffee table to the desk, his face still stern, as if stained with the depth of the silent night, making it hard to figure out.

Lifting his hand to move the computer mouse on the desk, he looked at the usual Log-in prompt that popped up immediately, his brows deepened.After entering the password and entering the computer homepage, he checked all the important files and carefully killed the virus, but found nothing abnormal.

Looking sideways at the closed window sill, he sat on the comfortable black leather swivel chair, raised his eyebrows with one hand, and pinched the center of his brows wearily.

——The almost undetectable but very annoying smell of smoke in the nasal cavity continued.

He got up and walked to the window and opened the window a crack.

Naturally, the chilly wind rushed in, wrapped around Xiao Yi's wrist and tried to get into his sleeve and attack.

With a hand drawn, Xiao Yi leaned on the reception coffee table in the far corner by the window and glanced at it - the ashtray that she had always kept clean did not show any signs of new cigarette butts.

After watching it for a while, Xiao Yi frowned and stepped forward, picking up the phone on the desk.

"Mr. Xiao." Ji Yi's voice came from the receiver.

"Has Xiao Heng left?"

"left already."

"Among TranniStar's employees before, have you verified Xue Yanqing's information?" Xiao Yi thought of the bald customer who was smiling at him before.

"Verified." Ji Yi's voice was very serious, "The information is all right."

Xiao Yi's eyes fell on the computer on his desk again, smelling the faint smell of smoke, his face became more gloomy: "Check it again."

Xiao Heng walked out of Xingyuan Building with a bright face.

Stretching his waist in the sunshine, he put one hand in his pocket, strolling like a child who just got candy, bumping down the steps of the front door.

At the bottom of the steps, the middle-aged man who was discussing in Xiao Yi's office was smoking a cigarette slowly while leaning against the side rail of the flower terrace.

Xiao Heng glanced at him vaguely from the corner of his eye, and he squatted down to tie his shoelace not far from the other side.

The middle-aged man took out his mobile phone and pretended to make a call.

"The matter is settled?" Xiao Heng suddenly asked with his head down.

"It's done." The middle-aged man still didn't look at him, but just spoke to the phone with a smile.

With a smile on the corner of his lips, Xiao Heng tied his shoelaces, said "yes" to someone, and wobbled onto the walking path.

When getting off work in the evening, Xiao Yi stopped the car at the corner of the fire station as usual.

Sitting in the carriage, looking through the window sills pasted with black lacquer film, Xiao Yi took out his mobile phone to talk to Ji Yi, and the other party confirmed to him that the information on the person named Xue Yanqing was correct.

Wu Yan hung up the phone, Xiao Yi's eyes deftly drifted to the corner, and started the journey of waiting again.

Yan Tian sat in the driver's seat, looking like a dead body at the street corner ahead where the crowds were increasing.

As the voices gradually became noisy, he felt that he didn't seem to have the usual patience to wait for something, so after seeing a group of people crossing the road, he couldn't help but speak boldly to the man in the back seat: "President Xiao. "

His eyes drifted to Yan Tian, ​​Xiao Yi didn't care, but continued to stare at the road ahead absent-mindedly, his voice seemed a little hoarse: "Huh?"

This time, Yan Tian began to rack his brains to organize his words, thinking about how to speak so that he would not poke his boss's sensitive area and ride a tiger down safely.

After waiting patiently for a while, Xiao Yi's eyes finally stopped on Yan Tian: "Yan Tian?"

"Uh, huh?"

"What do you want to say?" Xiao Yi crossed his legs gracefully, leaning on the back seat, and opened his mouth with far-reaching eyes.

"Oh, no, no." Yan Tian laughed and turned his head to look at the solemn face of the man behind him, "I'm just a little curious."

A ray of sunset light flickered in Xiao Yi's eyes: "Curiosity?"

"It's just—" Yan Tian thought about it, and finally decided to go all out, "You go to the fire station after get off work every day, why don't you just go to Team Wei?"

Xiao Yi's eyes flickered for a moment, and then he regained his composure.

However, he hadn't answered yet, and a tall tall man passed by in a mess of people on the road ahead.

Nerves jumped, and Xiao Yi's eyes became sharper, but after some identification, the moment he realized that it was not that person, the light in his eyes disappeared like a firework.

Sitting in the back seat without a word, Xiao Yi said hastily to Yan Tian, ​​"Let's go" until pedestrians stopped because of the red light.

Glancing at Xiao Yi from the rearview mirror, Yan Tian looked at the other person's indifferent face, a little surprised: "Eh? Are you waiting?"

"Don't wait, let's go first."

"But--"

"Boom boom boom——"

Just as Yan Tian was about to explain, there was a sudden crisp sound from the window of the driver's seat. He looked sideways and saw a toothy and smiling face floating outside like a signboard.

The other party waved his hand cheerfully at him, that expression could not be covered by the bright sun in the sky.

Xiao Yi followed the prestige, stared at the face outside the window for a moment, and recognized the firefighter Jin Yang who had met him earlier.

Yan Tian also clearly recognized it, and hastily pressed the car window and smiled at the other party: "Ah, Mr. Jin."

"Uh, just call me Jinyang." Stretching out his hand and scratching his head, he said bluntly, "Calling me 'Mr.' makes me look like a white-collar worker."

Xiao Yi also saw the other party, and nodded to him politely.

Only now did he catch sight of Xiao Yi, Jin Yang identified it, and his tone suddenly brightened: "Hey, is Mr. Xiao there?" Looking around, Jin Yang joked, "Why are you here? The feng shui here is not good , Otherwise, why would you answer the fire alarm all day long?"

Xiao Yi pursed her lower lip.

"Why are you here?" Yan Tian looked at Jin Yang, a little surprised, and suddenly said a word without thinking, "Didn't you go to the opposite side for dinner?" But after saying a word, his scalp froze suddenly——

This is not the same as implying that the other party stays here every day to see where these firefighters eat.

Sure enough, Jin Yang raised his eyebrows unexpectedly after hearing the words.

However, this nervous man was only stunned for a moment, then he smiled cheerfully: "Oh, it's nothing, we are on a mission in this street today, so we can eat nearby by the way."

"A mission?" Xiao Yi frowned, "Fire?"

"No." Jin Yang waved his hand, "Just a simple community assistance."

"Then you - have finished eating?" Yan Tian was taken aback for a moment.

"Ang." Jin Yang shrugged and teased, "Leave Team Wei behind to pay the bill for a group of people, and he should be here right away."

Xiao Yi, who was sitting in the back row, couldn't help laughing wryly.

"Oh, that's right." Jin Yang lowered his body a bit, and deliberately stared at Xiao Yi, "Mr. Xiao, if you're in a hurry, just wait a moment. Team Wei should come over right away."

Xiao Yi's gaze deepened.

"I think the situation of the two of you is quite special, and one meal is always not enough." Jin Yang smiled, "Would you like to talk a little longer?"

Xiao Yi: "..."

"Jin Yang, what are you doing? You ran so fast and waited for me to pay the bill, right?"

However, before he responded, Xiao Yi heard a burst of displeased voices coming from far and near.

When he raised his eyes, he happened to see the tall figure standing out from the crowd through the front windshield of the car.
