Prohibition of losing contact

The keyword "project" was like a switch, gently flipping Pei You's sensitive nerves.

His complexion gradually became serious, and he couldn't help lowering his head, looking at the few items that he had picked out for drawing.

"What project is it?" Pei You said, pushing the project book in front of Zhou Qingbai, and asked, "See if there is any here."

Zhou Qingbai roughly scanned the headlines on several project books, and said with some hesitation: "Actually, I—"

Before he finished speaking, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps at the door, Pei You and Zhou Qingbai silently silent at the same time, and turned their heads to look outside the door.

The semi-foggy transparent glass wall reflected the blurred silhouette of the person outside, Zhou Qingbai and Pei You looked at each other, and silently pushed the project book back to Pei You's hand.

Neither of them said anything more. A few seconds later, the figure of the visitor appeared from the door. Liu Xin held a briefcase under his arm, stood at the door with a big smile on his face and knocked on the door.

"Mr. Zhou, Mr. Pei." Liu Xin smiled and greeted each of them, then walked around the desk and walked towards Zhou Qingbai enthusiastically.

"Oh, I was in a hurry to discuss a project just now, and I didn't have time to have a good word with Mr. Zhou." Liu Xin bowed his shoulders slightly, stretched his hands forward, and shook hands with Zhou Qingbai while saying with regret: "I'm really sorry for neglecting you. The main reason is that the meeting just now was an appointment before, so it's really hard to shirk."

"It's nothing." The smile on Zhou Qingbai's face restrained a bit, looking a little careless, he stood up from the chair with one hand supporting the armrest, then casually extended a hand to Liu Xin, and briefly shook hands with him for a moment.

"They are all dedicated to the company, I don't need to care about it here." Zhou Qingbai had a distant smile on his face, and said politely to him in an official tone: "I came to see, Dongjiang is a good place, the windows are bright and clean, and the employees are quite well-behaved , it seems that it has developed well in the past few years.”

"Where is it?" Liu Xin said modestly: "It's all under the light of Qingshan—how is President Zhou doing recently?"

"My brother is fine." Zhou Qingbai turned sideways as he said, leaned his back against the table lazily, and continued, "It's just that he's too busy, otherwise he should come and see in person. Give Uncle Liu a stick of incense."

Speaking of Liu Jiancheng, Liu Xin's face changed, he followed Zhou Qingbai's words with a sad expression, sighed, and said with emotion: "Hey, my dad was still thinking about Uncle Zhou when he was dying, always talking about, Later, it was my mother who found a photo of the two of them when they were soldiers at home, and then coaxed people to close their eyes."

Zhou Qingbai: "..."

Really good at climbing, Zhou Qingbai thought.

He thought he was enough to talk nonsense with his eyes open, but he didn't expect that after five years, Liu Xin's skills would only increase, and his cultivation would become more and more profound.

"The father's relationship is really good, which is really enviable." Zhou Qingbai didn't change his face, and said this sentence back lightly: "My dad always talks about Uncle Liu when he drinks too much, and he can't persuade him."

Zhou Qingbai was able to handle it with ease, Liu Xin handled it well, only Pei You was left, and couldn't help but look at Zhou Qingbai several times in surprise.

Obviously a few minutes ago Zhou Qingbai was still an unreasonable older child who tried to act like a baby, but now facing Liu Xin, his whole temperament has changed for no reason.

He is serious and undisciplined, it seems that he is here for business, but his work attitude is very perfunctory.He is very polite to Liu Xin, but his attitude is not warm, and he still has a subtle sense of superiority. When talking to Liu Xin, he has a little bit of superiority that is not easy to detect. He looks like a pampered son who has never experienced social beatings. .

Pei You has seen Zhou Qingbai's appearance when he is wrapped in the fur of a social elite when he is on business, and he has seen his unguarded virtues, but this is the first time he has seen Zhou Qingbai like this.

Talking about people when seeing people, talking nonsense when seeing ghosts, everything is fine, and it seems deliberate to be more.

The familiar person in front of him somehow became more concrete in Pei You's eyes. Between "Boss Zhou" and "Brother Zhou", Zhou Qingbai's image was refilled with a little bit of grayscale.

Zhou Cangshan didn't understand this younger brother too well, Pei You suddenly thought, he is not the kind of person who doesn't seek to make progress, just eats and waits to die.

Zhou Qingbai's boast is not completely nonsense, he may really have his own talent in other areas.

Liu Xin seemed to see that Zhou Qingbai didn't want to be too polite on this topic, so he accepted it as soon as he saw it, and quickly put away the nostalgic look on his face, and put on a little smile again.

"Hey, blame me for bringing up something sad." Liu Xin rolled his eyes slightly, his gaze swept across Pei You who was mostly blocked by Zhou Qingbai, then looked at Zhou Qingbai, weighed it in his heart, changed the subject, and said with a smile : "Mr. Zhou finally came here once. This is a happy event. In this way, I will be the host tonight. I will invite Mr. Zhou and Mr. Pei to have a meal at Yuefulou, and it will be a cleansing, how about it?"

Zhou Qingbai was not surprised that Liu Xin made such a suggestion.The other party has ghosts in their hearts, so they will naturally want to have a relationship with them, and at the same time, they will try to talk a little bit.

Although Zhou Qingbai was impatient with socializing, he didn't want his family's money to be taken away by others for no reason, so he had a thought and thought that it was fine.

When he was in the community, the short stories of the parents of those uncles and aunts were too random and uncontrollable. He only listened to a few sporadic words, and didn't understand the "projects" in and out of what they said.Now that Liu Xin took the initiative to deliver it to his door, it might be a good thing for him and Pei You.

Zhou Qingbai was a little hesitant when he heard the words, and Liu Xin saw that there was something going on, so he hurriedly hit the rails: "Yue Fulou happens to have a bluefin tuna opening ceremony tonight, why don't we join in the fun?"

He had already talked to this point, of course Zhou Qingbai wanted to take advantage of the steps to come down, so he smiled and said: "Then—"

It's just that before he could say what he accepted, he was interrupted by Pei You.

"No, thank you for your kindness." Pei You stood up from behind the desk, his face was a little cold, he looked a little unhumanly serious, and his tone was also cold: "We still have work to do, so it's not good to go out to eat now .”

He made a sound suddenly, and still intervened in the conversation with such a strong posture, not to mention Liu Xin, even Zhou Qingbai was stunned unexpectedly, and couldn't help but glance sideways at Pei You.

Based on Zhou Qingbai's understanding of Pei You, he is gentle and easy to talk most of the time.Even if they are a little stricter at work, they rarely make decisions so forcefully over others.

Zhou Qingbai lowered his eyes slightly, thought for a while, said nothing, and naturally transferred the right to speak to Pei You.

Liu Xin had a good chat with Zhou Qingbai at first, and there was a chance to get closer, but he didn't expect Cheng Yaojin to come out halfway, so he couldn't help frowning angrily, and gritted his teeth secretly.

But Pei You was an auditor after all, and Liu Xin was afraid of him, so he didn't dare to be too rude, but forced a smile on his face, and said as kindly as possible: "It doesn't matter, you are new here, you should have a meal. Don’t be in a hurry to work, you have to combine work and rest.”

Liu Xin said, then turned to look at Zhou Qingbai, trying to bring him into this topic together.

"Are you right?" Liu Xin asked, "President Zhou?"

Although Zhou Qingbai didn't understand why Pei You suddenly became abnormal, but this was in front of outsiders, no matter what reason Pei You had, Zhou Qingbai would always give him face first.

"Well, I'm sorry." Zhou Qingbai smiled when he heard the words, turned his head and glanced at Pei You casually, then looked away lightly, shrugged at Liu Xin, and said, "Since Mr. Pei has spoken, then Let’s forget about eating—we’ll celebrate together after work is over.”

Liu Xin frowned slightly, and was about to continue persuading, when Zhou Qingbai made a stop gesture, stopping his next words.

"Mr. Liu, Mr. Pei was entrusted by my brother to take care of me." Zhou Qingbai deliberately put an accent on the word "take care of", and said with a half-smile: "I dare not go play with you—in case If I miss work, my brother will punish me when I go back."

He had already talked about this point, and Liu Xin couldn't persuade him anymore, so he could only cooperate with him and say haha, saying that he would have fun together after work was over.

"Okay." Zhou Qingbai said with a smile: "Then let's stop here today."

Zhou Qingbai looked back at Pei You while talking, and said, "It's almost time to get off work now."

Pei You looked at him silently, understood what he meant, lowered his head silently, put away all the documents that needed to be used, and stuffed them into the computer bag together.

Liu Xin sent them to the door of the company, and Zhou Qingbai pushed and pulled them for a few rounds, dispelling his interest in personally sending them back to the hotel, and then followed Pei You into the down elevator.

As soon as the elevator door was closed, Zhou Qingbai revealed his true colors in an instant. He frowned slightly, moved his backhand on his shoulder, and complained, "I'm so annoying, talking to people like them is really tiring."

His tail was drawn out and sounded sticky. Pei You took a look at him through the smooth elevator mirror, and found that the protruding temperament of a son-in-law had disappeared without a trace.

Pei You's heart moved slightly, and suddenly he noticed a little difference in the double standards with a clear bottom line - it was as if Zhou Qingbai would instinctively let go of his defenses when facing him, without putting on any disguise.

"Sorry." Pei You said suddenly, "I didn't mean to save face just now."

He paused, and said in a low voice, "I just feel that something is wrong with Liu Xin, and going out to dinner with him rashly...isn't good."

"It's okay, no need to explain." Zhou Qingbai didn't care about this little thing. He approached Pei You from behind, tilted his head, stared into Pei You's eyes, cleared his throat pretentiously, and said solemnly: "You can't help me with this little thing." Just decide, I have no problem."

"After all..." Zhou Qingbai lazily drew a long voice and said with a smile, "I'm very obedient."
