Chapter 36 What Is Between Us?
Chapter 36 What is between us
One day at noon, Xiaoxiao was sorting out the documents, and her phone suddenly rang. When she saw that it was Chen Hongjie who called and quickly picked it up, "Hey, Minister."
"Xiaoxiao, I forgot the report you submitted yesterday in the office. I thought I would use it in the afternoon. I looked for it and found that I didn't bring it. You can print another copy and send it to the hotel. You will use it at two o'clock when you have a meeting."
"Okay, I'll print it right away."
After hanging up the phone, Xiaoxiao looked at the time. It was already one o'clock. The hotel where Minister Chen held a meeting was a bit far away from the unit. It was delivered in one hour according to the traffic jam in the imperial capital.
"Feng Zhen, I'll send the meeting materials to Minister Chen and leave first." After saying hello to her colleague, she walked out in a hurry.
The five-star hotel where the meeting was a bit remote. Even if you take the subway, you have to walk for a long time. It is definitely too late. The bus can't be counted on, so you can only take a taxi. However, she waited at the door for a long time but couldn't see an empty car passing by.
She looked at the time anxiously. Ten minutes passed. If she couldn't get a taxi, she would definitely not be able to deliver it at two o'clock.
Zhao Qianwen was driving over when she saw Gu Xiaoxiao waving, she parked the car, "Do you take a taxi? Where are you going?"
"When I go to XX Hotel, Minister Chen is there for a meeting. I have to send the meeting materials."
"It just so happens that I have to go over and get in the car."
Xiaoxiao was very surprised and stood still. Zhao Qianwen smiled and urged: "Get on the bus quickly, you can't stop here."
"Oh, thank you."
Zhao Qianwen's car is very new, with a white BMW, with a lilac crystal apple on the front of the car. It was a bottle of perfume, a faint jasmine fragrance, which smelled very nice. There were a few plush dolls in the back seat of the car, as well as three famous brand women's bags, and another all-black bag.
"I'm here to find Mo Yiyang." Zhao Qianwen was very easy-going, and she started chatting with her while driving. "I just called him and said he was having a meeting at the XX Hotel, so I happened to go over. I bought him a suit and wanted to try it out for him. If it doesn't work, you can change it immediately."
Xiaoxiao just listened with a smile, not knowing what to respond.
"His suits are either black or dark blue, and they look old. He stays with a group of old cadres and leaders all day long, and he has also become older. What about me, I want to change his style, Xiaoxiao, look at that suit, do you think it looks good?"
"Ah, I...I don't know what the director likes, you will definitely look good."
"Haha, look at it, I said I'm alone and I'm not counting. Look at it in the black bag behind."
"Okay then." Xiaoxiao turned around and looked behind, opened the bag and looked at it. The silver-gray suit was very textured and pleasing to the eye.
A small note followed, and Xiaoxiao took a casual look at the amount. She was shocked. This suit cost more than 98,000 yuan. She thought she had read it wrong, so she counted it carefully. Yes, it was 98,000 yuan.
Her entire salary a year is not enough to buy this suit.
"Do you look good? Do you think Yiyang's clothes will look younger?"
"Yeah, it looks good." Xiaoxiao put the clothes back, "The director will definitely like it."
Zhao Qianwen asked deliberately: "Xiaoxiao, tell me that he is in the company, do you have any affection for any female colleague?"
Xiaoxiao smiled awkwardly, "I haven't heard of it. I have only been in the News Department for half a year."
"Oh, that's how do you think of him."
"...I don't know this either. I'm just an ordinary employee and we can't get in touch with normal work." Xiaoxiao suddenly felt like she was feeling uncomfortable, "Ms. Zhao, have you been dating for a long time? You should be very clear about his character."
Zhao Qianwen laughed, "Who did you hear that we have been dating for a long time?... Hahaha, you are all rumoring it in private?" Seeing Xiaoxiao's extremely embarrassed face, she said, "Although we have seen it before, it was all about childhood. Who still remembers the fact that we were six or seven years old? If we really know each other, we met during this Spring Festival this year, and played mahjong, haha."
"Oh..." Actually, Xiaoxiao didn't want to know this, but Zhao Qianwen said that she heard it. The feeling of feeling uncomfortable but not being able to show any mood on the surface was simply a torment.
Zhao Qianwen continued, "I remember when I saw him when I was a child, he was already an adult. I thought he must be very old now, maybe he was covered with stubble. Unexpectedly, when I saw him, I realized that he was not old at all. My parents liked him very much. I think I should also like him. There is no reason not to like such an excellent man, Xiaoxiao, what do you think."
"Uh, as long as you like it."
"Xiaoxiao, you won't think I'm too long-winded."
"Of course not, Miss Zhao."
"Look at you, you still call me Miss Zhao. Just call me my name. I have been abroad for several years and there are very few friends here. If you don't dislike me, let's be friends."
"Okay, how can you dislike me? You don't dislike me."
"Okay, then we will be friends in the future. In the future, you have to help me watch Yi Yang. I know many people are staring at him."
Xiaoxiao became embarrassed, "Then you think too much of me. He is on the 17th floor and I am on the 2nd floor. We usually don't meet each other, so how can I help you see?"
"Oh, he is your chief. Whenever there is any disturbance, the people below you will spread the fastest, right?"
"Hahaha, yes..."
As he said that, the hotel arrived, Zhao Qianwen stopped the car, carried a suit, and walked in with Xiaoxiao.
The people who were attending the meeting were all in their respective rooms for lunch. Mo Yiyang and Chen Hongjie were both in the News Department, so the rooms were naturally very close.
Xiaoxiao just handed over the documents to Minister Chen, and Zhao Qianwen in the next room called her, "Xiaoxiao, if you are fine, come over and I will take you back to the unit later."
Minister Chen looked through the documents and heard the voice, and said, "You go, there is nothing wrong here."
"Yeah, okay."
Xiaoxiao walked a few steps and stood at the door. She saw that in the room, Zhao Qianwen was tiptoing to help Mo Yiyang tie a tie, a fashionable gray-white twill tie. He had already changed into a suit top. The silver-gray really matched him. He was steady and fashionable, and looked younger and more energetic.
Mo Yiyang pulled his tie and took a step back, "I'll do it myself."
Zhao Qianwen turned to Xiaoxiao and asked, "How is it, it's okay. It looks good to wear black, but it's better to wear this outfit."
Xiaoxiao pursed her lips and said softly: "Of course this set looks good, you chose it specifically."
Mo Yiyang turned around, pulled off his tie, and took off his suit. Zhao Qianwen hurriedly said, "It's so handsome when you wear it."
"No, a very serious meeting, not suitable for dressing so lightly." He changed into his original black suit.
"Okay, okay, anyway, the clothes fit well, so let's put them here. Remember to take them away after the meeting."
"Um."
"Brother Yiyang, let's leave first. We will meet directly in an Italian restaurant in the evening. You will call me after the meeting."
"Okay." Every time he answered, it was a simple word, and he was unwilling to socialize.
"Then I'll go to the bathroom first, Xiaoxiao, wait for me again." As he said that, Zhao Qianwen quickly ran into the bathroom.
Xiaoxiao looked up at Mo Yiyang. As soon as she touched his eyes, she quickly turned her head away. Mo Yiyang was still standing, picked up the document in her hand and opened it. While flipping through it, she said, "Come in and sit for a while."
"No, she should be ready soon."
At this time, Zhao Qianwen's voice came from the door, "Xiaoxiao, it seems that it will take me a long time, you can sit for a while."
"..." If Zhao Qianwen was not Mo Yiyang's girlfriend, she would really suspect that Zhao Qianwen deliberately gave her and Mo Yiyang the opportunity to get along alone. She was very uncomfortable and her toes were lit up in place.
Mo Yiyang was also very uncomfortable, but he never showed his discomfort.
The surroundings were very quiet, and Xiaoxiao could even hear her breathing and heartbeat, "That... Director, I'm here, don't bother you."
Mo Yiyang pulled the corner of his mouth, and that smile was definitely not a happy smile. "When did we start to become so polite?"
When Xiaoxiao heard this, the anger in her heart suddenly rose. She lowered her voice and said, "It didn't start with me."
"That started with me." Mo Yiyang asked immediately.
Xiaoxiao was a little anxious and stretched out her index finger to put it on her lips. "Shh..." She pointed to the door of the toilet and signaled him to speak gently and never let the people inside hear it.
Mo Yiyang lifted up the hem of his clothes and tidied up the documents on the desk in a cozy manner. There was a meeting to preside over the afternoon, but his mind was not on the documents at all. By accident, the documents in his hand suddenly fell and all fell on the carpet.
He was both hated and angry, and stretched out and kicked the stool beside him.
Seeing this, Xiaoxiao bent down to help him pick it up. Mo Yiyang grabbed her arm and stared at her in a daze. He asked word by word: "What is between us?"
"Let go." Xiao Xiao still lowered her voice. She didn't want Zhao Qianwen to hear anything. This would only cause misunderstandings. "Let go." She repeated.
Mo Yiyang unwilling to let go of her arm.
Xiaoxiao took two steps back and said with a smile: "Director, you must cherish the people around you and don't let Miss Zhao down."
"Gu Xiaoxiao." Mo Yiyang called her name sharkly. He heard the words he didn't want to hear the most. He didn't want her blessings, he didn't need them.
Xiao Xiao turned her head and stopped looking at him, "If you have any work, please tell me if you have any questions. I'm sorry I can do nothing else."
"You..." Mo Yiyang clenched his teeth, and the muscles on his cheeks twitched due to the force.
"Sir Mu, it's almost two o'clock. You can go to the meeting first. Please wait for us to go out and close it. Just take the room card away. We will definitely close the door for you when we leave."
Mo Yiyang really had no way to deal with her. After looking at the time, the meeting started in five minutes. The sound of other participants walking and talking came from the corridor. It was time for him to leave.
He picked up the documents scattered on the ground, sorted them out casually and stuffed them into his briefcase.
"Chief, go slowly." Xiao Xiao moved to the side and said with her head down.
Mo Yi was so angry that he glared at her hard, pulled out the room card and left.
