Promised period

After hanging up the phone, Song Ke returned to the room.

"Finished?"

"Yeah." He nodded, "Let's go."

Qin Binkai is the regional director of Heming Group, and he is also the person who is in contact with Song Ke this time.Although he was two years younger than forty, he was extremely self-disciplined, maintained a good figure and had a decent demeanor.

"Let's take the road by the sea. You haven't been here before, so I just show you the scenery."

Song Ke smiled: "Aren't you afraid that your boss and the others are waiting in a hurry?"

"If I'm in a hurry, I'll push it on you." Qin Binkai pointed his index finger at him from the air, "Okay, let's go, the road will get more and more blocked the later it gets."

The pace of life in seaside cities is slow, and everyone has the pleasure of watching the moon and fishing at night.Song Ke changed clothes and went out with him, got in the car and asked: "I heard that Mr. Fang is rarely in the country recently. How could it be such a coincidence that I just met him this time."

"He came to visit friends with us, Mr. He, and took the time to play for two days."

After speaking, Qin Binkai turned to look at him.

Song Ke was facing forward, his side face melted into the bustling night outside the car, and many colorful and fragmented lights and shadows danced on his face.There seems to be a smile at the end of his eyes, but that smile is a little alienated, with a sense of distance and challenge.

Qin Binkai asked: "How long do you plan to stay this time?"

"That depends on whether the business talks go well or not."

"You said so, I suddenly don't want to introduce you." He steered the steering wheel, but smiled and said nothing.

Although she knew he was joking, Song Ke still turned her face: "Why did Mr. Qin say that?"

"If you leave after the business is concluded, I won't see you again."

He was the one who picked up Song Ke when the plane landed.At first, it was just business affairs, but after getting in touch with Song Ke in the past few days, he gradually developed a different feeling towards Song Ke.It's not enough to say that I like it, it's more about congeniality, good impression, and willingness to further develop.

The meaning of what he said just now almost broke, but Song Ke didn't wait for Song Ke to express his opinion.Song Ke turned her head back and looked into the distance without moving. The winding seaside road seemed to have no end.

Later, I rushed to a seafood stall.

It was very late, but the door was still lively and lively.Many people are wearing short-sleeved slippers, holding stainless steel basins in their hands to choose their favorite ingredients, and the shop is full of nighttime fireworks unique to the Linhai area.

The waiter asked them if they had a reservation, and Qin Binkai said, "Mr. Fang Shaoyang and Fang made it." He was quickly led all the way to the innermost box.

Opening the door, Heming's youngest director was already waiting inside, accompanied by several managers and directors.He stood up and shook hands with Song Ke. He was tall and younger than the rumors, with a bright and sunny smile on his face: "I finally waited for you, Mr. Song."

"I'm sorry Mr. Fang, the road is a bit congested and we are late, please forgive me."

"It's good to come."

After seeing everyone one by one, the waiter began to pour tea and water.Fang Shaoyang said: "I've been hearing Brother Kai mentioning you for the past few days. Let me take time to see you anyway. If I say no, he will be anxious with me. Okay, okay. I said see you, I will see you." After finishing speaking, He glanced at Qin Binkai with a half-smile.

Qin Binkai didn't say anything, just lowered his head and poured wine with a smile, and stood up to toast the big boss.

"I was the one who drove late, and I should punish myself."

"What are you doing, gag me?" Fang Shaoyang took it and drank it after laughing, "Sit down, ask someone to order, let Mr. Song order first."

Talking about this business, in fact, it is not his turn to discuss it in person, Ruiyan is not qualified.To see him today, Song Ke is really lucky.However, Mr. Fang is really cheerful and talkative, treats everyone equally, and has no sense of superiority or inferiority.

After dinner all night, there was no business talk, but the wine was very enjoyable.Fang Shaoyang has a good capacity for alcohol, and the more he drinks, the brighter his eyes become.He asked Song Ke: "I heard that the smart voice market is very popular recently, and several Internet giants have plans to get involved. What about Ruiyan, how is Ruiyan, have you contacted any of them?"

These words are what he would ask so openly, it doesn't look like he is spying on any business secrets.Song Ke's cheeks were slightly hot after drinking, and the back of her ears was also a little red, but her sitting posture was still upright.

"There has been contact, but we have no plans to invest in any company for the time being."

"Oh?" His interest was aroused at once, "Didn't you say that it is good to enjoy the shade under the big tree? I think many small and beautiful people will take the initiative to find major shareholders and backers. Once the founding team is released, they will be able to achieve financial freedom. Such a good thing." Mr. Song is not interested in this matter?"

Before Song Ke could figure out how to explain it, Qin Binkai next to him took the lead and said, "My little Mr. Fang, not everyone only cares about money. Many people start businesses with passion. Besides, the money is not so easy to get." What? People give you money to buy your technology, which means that you have to listen to other things, such as company management and staffing. To put it bluntly, they are the major shareholders, and your founding team is just a part-time worker, a grandson. If you love to do it or not, get out."

"Yo, how do you say swear words." Fang Shaoyang threw him with chopsticks, "rude."

Everyone roared with laughter, and even Song Ke found it very funny.Sitting opposite, Fang Shaoyang like this reminded him of a person who used to be so handsome and sunny, but that person liked to raise the tail of his eyebrows slightly when joking, with a provocative feeling, as if he was bursting with confidence.

He was lost in thought as he watched, until suddenly a shrimp was caught in the bowl.

"You've been staring at Shao Yang for a long time, aren't you afraid of being noticed?"

Qin Binkai's voice is not loud.Song Ke took a deep breath and narrowed her eyes, her face gradually condensed, and she excused herself to go to the bathroom to get up and pay the bill.

As soon as I got to the front desk, someone followed me.

A long receipt was typed out, and the girl at the front desk wanted to pass it to Song Ke, but Qin Binkai went straight to it.He wasn't angry when Song Ke turned his hand away. His eyes fell on the receipt and he said, "This meal is worth it. It costs less than 3000 yuan to get a 2000 million yuan business."

Song Ke turned a deaf ear: "Help me issue an invoice, thank you."

The little girl glanced up at the two of them, took the business card and typed silently.After paying the money, Song Ke stood there quietly during the few minutes waiting for the invoice, without any discomfort or panic on her face.

"How does Mr. Song plan to thank me?"

"How do you want me to thank you?"

Qin Binkai raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Finally, I didn't call me Boss Qin anymore, that's right. I haven't figured out how to thank him yet. Let me think about it for a few days, and I'll tell you when I think about it. Don't forget Song Boss when the time comes." Just let me be the hero."

Back in the box, everyone looked at them the moment the door was opened.Obviously she didn't do anything, but Song Ke felt a little bored in her heart, but she still maintained her demeanor on the surface.

After chatting for a while, everyone went back home.

Qin Binkai asked Song Ke to drive him on his way.Song Ke couldn't refuse, but he was silent all the way.Later, when the car passed the Duanjiang Bridge, he lowered the windows, and the sea breeze blew his hair against his face.

But the wine is three minutes sober.

After turning his head to look at him for a while, Qin Binkai asked calmly: "Why do you seem unhappy, did I offend you or something else? If it's the former, I can ask other people to take over the subsequent communication."

Song Ke didn't want to act like crossing rivers and tearing down bridges, besides, she felt better after the wind blowing, so she shook her head: "Boss Qin is serious, I just have some private matters that I haven't finished, so I feel annoyed."

"Because of that phone call at night?"

The carriage was silent.

"At that time, I thought you were not quite right." Qin Binkai propped his forehead, with a posture of seeing people clearly, "Most people answer the phone with the same expression and voice, but you are not. Your expression is very low, but your tone is relaxed." Very bland."

"You're masking, you're masking your insecurities," he said.

Song Ke turned her face out of the window: "I didn't know Mr. Qin also majored in psychology."

"It's just paying special attention to you."

"Boss Qin—"

"Okay, I'm just kidding, I hope I didn't offend you."

And it was restrained skillfully, making it impossible for people to get angry.

On the glass window was Song Ke's indifferent face, and Qin Binkai's looking eyes.The two looked at each other through the car window for a moment, before Song Ke could look away, Qin Binkai got very close.

A distance that can be felt by breathing.

"are you?"

Song Ke's brows and eyes suddenly became more defensive, and she wanted to escape but there was no room, so she could only turn her sideways motionless, "I don't understand what you mean."

He backed away, staring at Song Ke with piercing eyes: "It's a man who called you."

"so what?"

"You see something wrong with Shao Yang's eyes."

In just two sentences, all the strange things happened tonight.After finishing speaking, without waiting for Song Ke to refute, he continued: "I have to remind you that Shao Yang is not an ordinary person. Regardless of his young age, he is actually very rich in the city. Next time you want to look at him with that look, he probably It’s time to guard against you, and it’s just a matter of whether the business will be successful or not.”

"I don't understand Boss Qin's words," Song Ke remained calm, "Could it be that he was scared out of his wits just by looking at him."

"Pretending to be understanding and pretending to be confused."

Qin Binkai looked half drunk, and called him bluntly from the side: "Do you mean to be scary? Your eyes can talk. Believe it or not, Shao Yang really doesn't like people who take shortcuts , whoever plays tricks in front of him will definitely end up very tragic."

With this tone, he was almost ordered not to climb on the bed, and be careful not to be kicked off!Song Ke wanted to laugh, but she held back quietly.

"Thank you, Mr. Qin, for reminding me. I will definitely remember your advice."

Director Qin is not a bad person.

When he was about to reach the fork in the road, Qin Binkai squinted at him: "Go straight back to the hotel?"

"Well, just put me down at the intersection."

"Do you have any plans for tomorrow? Do you want me to drive you around?"

Song Ke smiled slightly: "Okay."

"So refreshing?"

"I hope Mr. Qin can lead me to transfer 2000 million yuan of business."

On the contrary, Qin Binkai couldn't laugh or cry: "Your appearance fee is too expensive, 2000 million a day, and the big stars are not as high as you, so grab it."

Having said that, the two really toured the coastal scenery together the next day.

The weather in this city is said to be hot, but in fact it feels more humid, and the washed short sleeves can't be dried for two days.On the way, Song Ke went to the mall to buy clothes, and Qin Binkai followed beside him, occasionally giving a few words of advice.At the end of the checkout, the clerk was confused and handed him the bill directly.

When Song Ke came out after changing clothes, the order had already been bought.

"How did you pay for it?"

"It's rare for you to come here, so it's my kindness as a landlord."

But Song Ke insisted on transferring the money to him, and there was nothing he could do. He said, "Then I will give you another gift on the day you leave, and I must not refuse any more."

Eat at a local restaurant at noon, through the floor-to-ceiling glass, you can have a panoramic view of the entire light white beach.The sea is sparkling, and many people are digging sand and playing in the water along the boardwalk along the shore. In the distance, the ferry slowly passes by with fine ripples.

During the serving time, Song Ke glanced sideways to admire the beautiful scenery, and Qin Binkai sat opposite to take this picture. The silhouette in the center of the picture is peaceful and delicate.

In Linjiang, [-] kilometers away, there was a loud thunder from Ruiyan's sales department.

"Isn't this our boss? How could Director Qin of Heming post his photo?"

The circle is so big that many people have added friends to each other.Someone held chopsticks in one hand and a mobile phone in the other, staring dumbfounded at the social "news" they had read.

"Let me see, let me see."

A group of people gathered around and stretched their necks, and they were all shocked after seeing the photo above.Not only is the person who posted it strange, but the accompanying text is even more strange: the food, the beautiful scenery, the beauty is overwhelming.

"..."

After a short silence, a colleague whispered: "Why do I feel that he missed a word..."

Food, beautiful scenery, what else is beautiful?

There was a layer of goosebumps for no reason.

In less than two hours, the news spread throughout the company, and finally reached Cheng Yi'an's ears at four o'clock in the afternoon.

The two talked on the phone in the evening of the next day, and Cheng Yi'an told Song Ke obliquely: "Don't be in a hurry to come back, the company has nothing serious, just come back to work after having enough fun and getting tanned."

Song Ke was confused: "You want to seek power and usurp the throne?"

Cheng Yi'an laughed loudly: "It seems that your health is much better, and you know how to joke."

In fact, he has never been serious in front of acquaintances, but the range of acquaintances is relatively small.He was leaning on a pole in the hotel to enjoy the night view, and someone was proposing marriage on the beach in the distance.

After watching for a while, he turned his body away, not wanting to look any more.

"Is the contract finalized?"

"Hurry up, the first draft was sent to Heming yesterday, and the other party promised to reply within a day or two."

He responded softly: "If you don't reply, I'll go to the airport and block that person surnamed Fang."

Cheng Yi'an was surprised by his rapid recovery, but after more than half a month, his tone was no different from before.

So I didn't tell him anything.

During this period, Chen Jue appeared twice near the company. He didn't enter the park and didn't notify anyone. He just quietly guarded the side of the road opposite the gate and stayed in the car.

When seeing it for the first time, Cheng Yi'an thought he was dazzled.When I got closer, I found that it was really Chen Jue, with his head leaning against the car window, falling asleep.

Cheng Yi'an didn't wake him up that day, because he had already decided in his heart that Chen Jue was not worthy to be his friend anymore.Unexpectedly, within two days, I saw that car again after ten o'clock at night.

The former Vice President Chen's car was so high-profile that no one in the entire Pioneer Park could afford it. It was so far away that it was astonishingly shiny.Now he has replaced it with a very unremarkable one, which may still be expensive, but it no longer attracts anyone's attention.

He was sitting in the car looking at the gate of the park, with a stub of cigarette in his mouth, he didn't see Cheng Yi'an at first, and he didn't come back to his senses until everyone had come to him.

He took the cigarette out of his mouth and rubbed it into his palm, and he got out of the car immediately, it turned out that he hadn't lit it at all.

"Brother."

"What are you doing."

"Song Ke is still in the company?" He asked.

"It's none of your business."

One walked in front and the other followed behind. The two tall figures were separated by half a meter.Chen Jue said, "Don't worry, I'm not looking for him, I just want to know if he's there."

Cheng Yi'an said with a cold face: "That's even more strange, why do you ask him if you don't look for him?"

Chen Jue paused slightly, and said after a long time: "I didn't wait for him."

Sometimes I waited all night, watching the lights in the bedroom turn on and off, turn off and turn on from a distance, but I couldn't see anyone.

"Mr. Chen is so powerful that you can dig out the graves of dead people. How could a mere Song Ke not be found?" Cheng Yi'an walked forward, racking his brains all the way, and responded with the most ruthless words he knew. he.

Chen Jue didn't get angry or refute, but his footsteps were heavy.Going all the way to the intersection, Cheng Yi'an stopped to take a taxi, and the footsteps behind him stopped.

"Tell me where he is. There are other people at home, so it's not convenient for me to go up."

Cheng Yi'an turned his head sideways, his thick glasses couldn't hide his hostility.

"Home? Is that your home? Chen Jue, what qualifications do you have to go there?"

For a moment, Chen Jue's expression really made him feel very happy.

"People like you are full of rotten problems. The more you don't want to see you, the more you want to see him. Is Song Ke ignoring you now, not showing up, and you are a little interested in him again? Tell you, if you dare to approach him again Song Ke, I will be the first to spare you. Also, don’t call me Senior Brother anymore, I can’t afford it, because I don’t know you at all. Song Ke and I are the most ordinary ordinary people, and we will be honest all our lives Work, live down-to-earth, and you have long been in two worlds."

With such a big car, he couldn't breathe.He has never been so angry with Chen Jue since he realized it today, not even when Chen Jue raised his flowers to death and still didn't admit his mistake, and secretly ate all the snacks in his drawer.In his eyes, Chen Jue is a bit of a problem, but Chen Jue is also motivated, and he is a likable younger brother.He didn't expect that one day he would say such serious words to Chen Jue, to the point of overturning their friendship and overthrowing the days and nights they had struggled with.

When the car came, he left without looking back.The car body turned around at the intersection, turned around and drove to another street. At that moment, Chen Jue's figure remained in place in the rearview mirror.

He took off his glasses in the car and rubbed his eyes, and he still felt sore for a long time.Not because of anger, but because I want to understand one thing.Even if many of the words just now were angry words, only the sentence "already in the two worlds" is true.
