delayed love

Chapter 98 The Coward

Lin Xi didn't know how she spent this night.

She lay on the bed and looked out of the window silently. There was a gap in the window, and the autumn wind poured in, blowing the heavy dark curtains.

She stared at the turbulent arc in the air for a long time without recovering.

It was like falling into an old dream.

The picture in front of her eyes gradually blurred, she blinked her dry eyes, and the next second the picture in front of her eyes changed to that of 17 years old, and her vision gradually became clearer.

Until she closed her eyes tiredly, it was already past six in the morning.

Looking out through the blown gap in the curtains, the originally dense night has faded, the sky has turned white, and the sound of traffic outside can be vaguely heard.

Lin Xi's assistant bought her a high-speed rail ticket at [-]:[-] am. When she felt sleepy and wanted to rest, she had no chance.

After moving her numb body, she got up and washed like a walking dead.Fortunately, the things were packed last night, and when the special car arrived downstairs, she put on her coat and pulled the suitcase downstairs.

At this time of weekdays, there is no time when there is no traffic jam in Beijing.

As soon as Lin Xi got into the car, she leaned against the back seat to take a nap. She originally wanted to have a good sleep, but the horns were all around her ears, the car stopped and stopped, and the brakes kept stopping, so disturbing that she couldn't fall asleep at all.

It was already eight o'clock in the morning when we arrived at the high-speed rail station.

After queuing up and passing the security check, Lin Xi didn't have time to go to the rest room, so she started to check the ticket and board the train after a short wait.

It only takes more than two hours to fly from Beijing to Huaihe City, but the time for high-speed rail will be doubled.

Lin Xi slept the whole way, this sleep was not peaceful, the dream was chaotic, like an overturned seasoning bottle, all kinds of smells mixed together, making her vacillate in various emotions.

The flight attendant woke her up, and it was almost afternoon when she arrived at the station.

"Miss Lin, we will arrive at Huaicheng North Station in 5 minutes."

Opening her eyes, Lin Xi still had a trace of confusion in her eyes.

It took a few seconds to slow down, and she nodded to the flight attendant, "Thank you."

With a standard smile on her face, the flight attendant squatted beside her and reminded:

"It seems that a call came in on your mobile phone just now. When I called you, it hung up automatically."

Hearing this, Lin Xi glanced at the mobile phone on the small table.The flight attendant moved faster than her and helped her get it.

"Let's not bother you now."

The flight attendant voluntarily left to give her privacy.

Turning on the phone, Lin Xi roughly glanced at the call log, and it showed that Bai Xu made two calls 2 minutes ago at the top.

Her phone was on silent, so she didn't receive it.

Lin Xi put the phone back in his pocket, not intending to call back at all.Just when the high-speed train came into the station, she yawned, went to wash her face to wake up, and finally got out of the car and left under the watchful eye of the flight attendant.

This time she came alone, without an assistant.Lin Xi could only go straight to Huasheng with her luggage.

Although the main purpose of coming here this time is to avoid problems.

But work matters, no matter how big or small, cannot be neglected and slack.

Lin Xi didn't finish her work until nine o'clock in the evening in the R&D department of Huasheng.

The manager of the R&D department and the two bosses sent her back to the hotel.On the way, the manager couldn't resist probing, "Did Team Leader Lin join Feiyun as soon as he returned to China? Have you considered other companies?"

"Yes." Although he didn't sleep for a long time, Lin Xi's brain was extraordinarily excited because he just finished work, and he was very awake.

Except for a slightly worse complexion, there is nothing unusual.

The manager smiled, and asked her half-jokingly: "Why didn't Team Leader Lin consider our Huasheng at the beginning? We also have a branch in Beijing."

"In fact, I thought about it at the beginning, but I was intercepted by Feiyun halfway. There is no way, Mr. Cheng and I are too familiar, it is really hard to refuse."

Lin Xi's tone was brisk and not angry.

"In addition, Feiyun and I are indeed more compatible. Huasheng and Feiyun have different plans and have their own strengths. I also hope that this cooperation will not disappoint the two companies, and we will make progress together."

There are still a few words to be said on the scene. Although it is of no practical use, it does make people feel more comfortable.

Lin Xi only unlocks this skill once in a while, and whether to talk about it, say a few words, or not, depends entirely on her mood.

The manager of the R&D department also smiled and echoed, and praised again and again.

"With team leader Lin here, once this cooperation is successful, it will definitely make the entire industry tremble."

"It can't depend on me alone." Lin Xi smiled, "I will do my part and do my best."

"I believe in Team Leader Lin. Of course, if Team Leader Lin has other ideas in the future, we can contact you at any time. Huasheng always welcomes you."

"I made a note, thank you."

Back at the hotel, Lin Xi signaled the waiter to put the luggage in the bedroom.

After the people left, she put away the bath water and took a comfortable bath.

After sleeping in the bathtub for 10 minutes, hearing the phone vibrating, Lin Xi picked up the phone sleepily and checked the news.

In the work group, Chen Gong was asking: "Lin Gong, is everything going well?"

With water on her hands, Lin Xi rubbed against the armrest on one side, "Don't worry, everything is going well."

Chen Gong replied in seconds: "That's good, that's good. I heard that you went on a business trip suddenly, and you went there alone. I'm afraid the problem is too difficult for you to handle."

"No big problem, come over and have a brief meeting with them."

She briefly recounted the content of today's work. Chen Gong couldn't help complaining after reading it: "The people in Huasheng are too picky, right? What's the matter with their R&D department?"

This is the group where they developed one, and there are no outsiders.So Chen Gong didn't think much about it.

"It's not a big problem. You have to go all the way to solve things that can be solved online. It's so frustrating to go back and forth."

"It's okay, I'll go back tomorrow night."

After chatting with Chen Gong and the others, Lin Xi came out of the bathroom again. It was almost ten o'clock.

Bai Xu's phone calls are timed on time every time, and the calls are just right.

Lin Xi blocked his phone call a long time ago.

The number Bai Xu used was another one he didn't use frequently. She had received it once before. Although she didn't save it, she still remembered it.

Because the four of them are easy to remember, and it just happens to be her birthday.

Lin Xi casually pressed the answer button and the speaker, and threw the phone aside.

"Why are you in Huai City?"

Bai Xu's voice was loud, and Lin Xi frowned, feeling that the speaker was too loud.

"looking for me."

She didn't explain, what Bai Xu wanted to know, he should have found out when he knew she was in Huai City.She didn't need to answer any more, it was a waste of time.

But listen carefully, his tone is more urgent than usual.It's really rare that a person who is always disorganized and has no interest in anything is actually in such a hurry.

Thinking about it, it should be because she was afraid that she would run away again because of what happened last night.

The image of her in their hearts has been completely established, even for many years-a coward who likes to run away whenever something happens.
