God said I would meet you

"Mr. Ning, the other party has sent the second draft of the contract for the project you asked to pay special attention to."

"So fast?" Ning Chengkai was a little surprised, it's only been a few days, it's really impressed him...Could it be Xiaofan helping him behind the scenes?Could it be...they really got back together overnight?He thought it was just a lie that Zhang Xinli told in a high-spirited way to save face in front of him.

No...Ning Chengkai still thinks it's impossible, Xiaofan...it's not that casual.

"Mr. Ning...Mr. Ning?" The office on the top floor was spacious but silent. The secretary put the draft contract, which was exquisitely bound in a transparent book cover, on Ning Shengkai's elegant lacquered wooden tabletop. Seeing him lost in thought, he shouted twice, Asked: "Do you think it is necessary to vote for this? It seems quite urgent over there. I think if you have no intention of cooperation, I can come forward and decline as soon as possible."

He has been Ning Shengkai's secretary for eight years. He dare not say that he has everything in his mind, but he can always figure it out. Ning Shengkai has always been active in his work, and he rarely even goes home during the holidays. In terms of work, this time the attitude towards the new project is quite ambiguous, and the relevant matters are only asked to be reviewed again and again, obviously not very willing to cooperate.

But the boss never refused directly, which made the secretary feel strange.Ning Shengkai is not in a hurry to communicate with people in life, but he is always decisive in his work. After the initial contact with Party B, he will immediately cooperate or immediately refuse, or collect information for further investigation. He never procrastinates.

Ning Chengkai came back to his senses, glanced at the document in hand, and said like he did countless times before: "No. I'll talk about it later, I don't want to read it now," he said to the secretary, "You do other things first."

He didn't want to watch it, so let's wait for ten days and a half months to talk about it. Up to now, he hasn't even seen Xiao Fan's shadow, so he can't always be led by the nose by this young man.

Again, it was strange.The boss spoke, but the secretary had to obey. He turned around and walked a few steps towards the door, then stopped suddenly, turned around and said, "By the way, Mr. Ning, there is one more thing..."

Ning Chengkai raised his head and looked at him with probing eyes. The secretary considered for a moment and said, "Just now...your parents called and said that since they didn't go back for the National Day, they should go home on the weekend."

Ning Shengkai's pen tip, which was originally swimming smoothly, paused suddenly.A few seconds later, he said lightly: "Understood, let's go."

The secretary is gone.

Ning Shengkai exhaled through his nasal cavity, put down the pen, and rubbed Shan Gen.

He glanced at the Lange perpetual calendar on his wrist, and there were only two days left until the weekend.He only took less than half of the National Day holiday, so he brought forward the meeting that was scheduled after the holiday, and voluntarily worked overtime, just to find a reason not to go home.His parents are old and retired, and they often say that they don't expect anything in this life, they only hope to see him get married with their eyes closed.

Regarding this, Ning Shengkai could only smile wryly.

Before meeting Xiaofan, according to the original plan, he was going to find a good partner when he was almost 40 years old, pull a marriage certificate, and then live a life of a fake wife on the surface, but a real life on the inside, but his parents seemed Faster than he thought.

He doesn't understand why people are so obsessed with exhausting themselves to achieve a young offspring, just like he doesn't understand why Xiaofan can resist the loss of novelty and maintain his loyalty to love by relying on personal morality without institutional constraints .

The urging is heard every day, such loud and lively concerns cannot offset the silence behind the noise, the longest relationship Ning Shengkai talked about before was one year and three months, and the shortest was only half a month... If There is no conflict between nurturing relationship and falling in love.

Sex gave him short-lived pleasures and long-lasting emptiness.

He doesn't want to go home, Shanghai is too big, that home is too small, so small that there is only one topic that comes and goes.But not going home requires a valid but incorrect reason.

Ning Shengkai rested for a while, glanced out of the corner of his eye at the draft contract placed on the edge of the elegant lacquered wood tabletop, and after a moment of silence, he found the business card that Zhang Xinli gave him that day from the business card folder, and directly dialed the phone number without calling the secretary. the above phone number.

"..." In the spacious, silent office that looked like a black and white photo, he said, "Hello, I'm Ning Shengkai. If you have time tomorrow night, you can have a meal together. And... If Xiaofan is free, you can come together, at the place where we met for the first time, and I will ask the secretary to arrange it."

……

At the same time, somewhere in a certain unit in Shanghai that is not far away.

Different from Ning Shengkai's single-person office occupying a huge space on the top floor, this office is crowded with seven or eight tables and eight or nine people. The aroma became something indescribable, like a dishcloth brushed over a canteen table.

"Okay, I'll come." Lin Jinyu washed his hands, Zhang Xinli held his mobile phone in one hand, and opened the lid of the lunch box he gave him with one hand in the smell of rags from the cafeteria.

After listening to the second half of Ning Shengkai's sentence, he said without thinking, "He's not free."

He just wanted to help Papa Lin settle this matter, and never really exchanged Lin Jinyu.Commonly known as wanting to "get something for nothing", "stealing rape and playing tricks", wanting Mr. Ning to run away, and wanting Mr. Ning not to eat grass.

Answering so quickly, it was obvious that he hadn't asked the person concerned. Ning Shengkai said something again, and Zhang Xinli said, "He's in class, I'll come over when I'm free."

"Come here when you're free?" Lin Jinyu, who didn't know when, came behind him, passed Zhang Xinli's shoulder to wipe the water from his hands with a tissue on the table, and asked, "Who is in class? Could it be talking about me?"

Although he was asking a question, his tone was quite casual, probably just passing by. Zhang Xinli immediately pressed the phone, put it on the table, and said, "No, it's your dad's partner who called to make an appointment for dinner tomorrow night."

It's called eating, but it's actually seeing the funds in the contract and some messy details. Lin Jinyu watched him buckle up the phone like a bomb—this was the second time, and this feeling of being guarded made him He beat Zhang Xinli madly in his heart.

He didn't change his face and asked: "Really, why ask if I'm free? Did you hear that my father has a son and wants me to go with him?"

Although the process was completely wrong, the conclusion was wrong.Lin Jinyu heard Zhang Xinli say 'he is in class', since the call was made by the prospective party, then this 'he' has no one but herself, after all his father and uncles and aunts don't need to go to class.

"No... yes, no," Zhang Xinli thought urgently in a thousandth of a second and then said, "I just asked if I was free. I said that my partner is in class and I don't need to accompany him. I will go there when I am free."

Uh, Lin Jinyu thought to himself: Now that I have time to answer the sentence, I have to explain it so clearly to Party A?

In the past few weeks, Zhang Xinli often answered the phone mysteriously. Lin Jinyu's sixth sense told him that Zhang Xinli must have Xiao Jiujiu in his heart, but he didn't ask.It's interesting to catch the current situation on the spot, let's see how this fellow denies it.

"Okay, then you go, you won't come back to eat tomorrow night, right?" Lin Jinyu sat down on his table and patted him on the shoulder as if nothing had happened: "Eat quickly, I borrowed the kitchen from the same door to cook, I will spare you more hot."

Now that Zhang Xinli is busy at both ends, he often has to deal with lunch. It happens that Lin Jinyu seldom has classes after 10 am, so he often cooks meals for him and sends them to his unit to supervise his meals, just like when he is on duty.Zhang Xinli was thinking about the meeting with Ning Shengkai in his heart, so he didn't have time to be distracted and noticed that Lin Jinyu, a little difficult person, was so simple and didn't ask questions, which was a bit abnormal.

Five minutes later, Zhang Xinli finished his meal, Lin Jinyu packed the lunch box, pinched his ear in a grand manner, jumped off the table, and left in a hurry.

……

In the evening, Zhang Xinli drove him home from school. The two of them cooked, ate, walked the dog, and slept.

"By the way, does the other party want to review the contract when they invite you to meet tomorrow?" Before going to sleep, Lin Jinyu, who had been pretending for a long time, began to dig a hole for Zhang Xinli: "The one you said you couldn't understand the annotation last time."

Zhang Xinli, who had just read some books on basic concepts of finance given to him by Lin Huainan for two hours, was about to fall asleep with his mind full of jargon, and recharged his energy for tomorrow: "It has been sent to Party A."

"I posted it so soon," Lin Jinyu said, "I'm going to check it for you again... Speaking of which, the person in charge of the matchmaking on the other side wrote it? It's pretty good."

It was beautiful, and for some reason, he always felt that the handwriting looked familiar-but he didn't say it.

Lin Jinyu had worked hard to chew through all kinds of documents in Ning Shengkai's office, some of which contained content that Ning Shengkai had marked on them. It took Lin Jinyu's old nose to chew those documents back then, if it wasn't for the fact that he had made up some basics The proper nouns for Zhang Xinli a few days ago, I'm afraid he didn't understand it after seeing it today, so it's impossible to return it to Ning Shengkai so quickly to impress him.

"That's right, the connectors were sent over there... I mean they wrote it." Zhang Xinli said, "An extra day will delay the arrival of funds. What your father means is that the sooner the better."

"So," Lin Jinyu seemed to have no doubt about him: "Where are you going to have dinner tomorrow night?"

"The place where we met for the first time," Zhang Xinli didn't say the specific address: "I will be the host there."

"That seems very expensive, haha, if you want to order some leftovers such as bird's nest and shredded chicken soup, steamed lamb, steamed bear's paw, steamed deer tail, and other leftovers for me to taste, our family will have a good meal." Lin Jinyu opened it halfway. A joke, and then climbed up with a pole: "My dad is going too?"

"...I didn't say it, I shouldn't go." Zhang Xinli himself felt that this was unreasonable. This time, Lin Huainan was the boss who was personally in charge of this project, so there was no reason for him not to go or not allowed to go.He thought of a half-truth and half-false statement: "It's just... still in the preliminary stage of determining the cooperation intention, and I will not hand it over until I have communicated all the requirements of the other party."

"Oh—that's it," Lin Jinyu leaned over, patted his smooth chest with a salty pig's hand, and asked again in a half-unsurprising manner: "Which specific place is it?"

"Just..." Zhang Xinli continued, "The place where we met for the first time."

Well, I have asked twice, it seems that this guy definitely doesn't want to tell me, Lin Jinyu pretended not to care, said "Okay", gave him a goodnight kiss as usual, turned over and covered the quilt and pretended to fall asleep , At the same time, I thought to myself: The place where we met for the first time, heh, I’ll know if I ask my dad, it’s useless not to say, idiot.

He didn't know the specific situation, and seeing Zhang Xinli's exhausted and concealed appearance in front of him these days, he was afraid that Zhang Xinli would bear the burden for him, but he was unfamiliar with it and couldn't handle it, because he didn't want his father to look down on him. Worried and afraid to tell his dad... like those labels.

Maybe it was his father who forced this burden on him, and Party A over there made things difficult for Zhang Xinli, thinking that he was not qualified enough, and asked his father to come forward in person, or asked his father's legal heir—that is, him to come forward, and Zhang Xinli defended him. Watch him and don't tell him.This guess is not unreasonable, even a small label does not write in human words, it is not a foreign language, which shows how far the opponent's difficulty has penetrated.Why, knowing 26 letters is awesome for Party A?cut.

What's more, Zhang Xinli mentioned a little bit last time that the other party did deliberately make things difficult for him.

He was also afraid that it was a business discussion at the wine table, and the other party had some improper hobbies, and arranged something inappropriate for children. Zhang Xinli wanted to refuse, but couldn't, and was afraid that he would get angry, so he endured it alone.

...There are so many reliable or unreliable guesses and worries, more than the sand in the Sahara Desert, Lin Jinyu thought a lot.No matter how bad the deal was, he would never let Zhang Xinli suffer any grievances because of it.

He doesn't have class tomorrow night, so he happens to be an idler. If he unilaterally contacts his father and says he wants to observe and study, his father must have no reason to refuse.

Zhang Xinli beside him had closed his eyes and fell asleep. In the dark, Lin Jinyu was wrapped in a quilt, his eyes staring like brass bells: My good boy Xiaowai (some kind of joking nickname in Shanghai dialect), let me take a look, then How can I embarrass you.Do you think you are superior to Party B because you are Party A?A fart, I really thought that I was the best in the world in Guilin landscape, and I still have C Fang, D Fang, E Fang, Gui Fang.
