Chapter 5 In the Name of Work

Cheng Jia had planned to finish her errands and go shopping in the morning, so she simply ate a few pieces of bread. Now it was approaching noon, and her stomach was growling with hunger.

Li Ye heard it, and he thought Cheng Jia was so cute even when she was hungry.He immediately reduced the accelerator and the car slowed down.

Cheng Jia looked at Li Ye.

"It's noon, let's eat first!" Li Ye said softly.

"Oh!" Cheng Jia was delighted. She was most afraid of being hungry. She had hypoglycemia and was prone to dizziness when she was hungry.

The car stopped at a two-story farmyard.Li Ye quickly got out of the car, and quickly walked over to help Cheng Jia open the car door: "Cheng Jia, we are here!"

Cheng Jia was a little flattered, and smiled to hide her panic.

This is a very clean and elegant yard.The rows of colorful roses by the wall bloomed very coquettishly. On the other side of the yard, there was a simple fish pond surrounded by cement. Cheng Jia took a peek at it when Li Ye was communicating with the boss. There were two fish ponds in it. Turtles, and no fish.

Li Ye had already ordered the meal, and finished his explanation in a few words.When he turned around, he saw Cheng Jia looking at the pool with a curious expression: Shui Lingling's eyes sparkled, her small lips were tightly pressed, and she looked childish. The roses by the wall and Cheng Jia's floral dress complemented each other perfectly. She is more charming than Hua, bright and charming.

Li Ye came over: "What's here?"

Cheng Jia laughed with her eyes wide open: "There are no fish, the owner has raised two turtles!" She couldn't believe it.

At this time, a five or six-year-old child ran out, as if he was afraid that Cheng Jia would snatch it away, he bent down to fish out the turtle, hugged it and ran away.

Li Ye was afraid that the water would splash on Cheng Jia's body, so he gently supported her waist.

At this time, the boss came out and reprimanded the child with words that Cheng Jia could not understand.At the same time, a man carrying a basket came in.The basket was covered with two lotus leaves, and two baskets full of fish were poured into the pool with a splash.

Cheng Jia backed away quickly, and Li Ye wrapped his arms around his waist.Cheng Jia immediately felt those warm hands.She took a step forward calmly: "What is this for?"

The visitor answered in a long voice, but Cheng Jia only understood "pickled fish".

Li Ye said: "These are all wild fish in the lake, you can see that they vary in size."

Cheng Jia smiled: "Isn't it? Can there be so many?"

The boss said in Mandarin: "There is no shortage of fish here, as well as wild turtles and wild duck eggs..." After speaking, he pointed to the turtle in the little boy's hand, "This is what I was looking for. My son eats one a day!"

Cheng Jia stared in disbelief.The boss said again: "We have built a holiday club here, and it will get better and better in the future! It is still expanding now, and after the expansion, there will be more and more people here." After finishing speaking, he grinned.

Cheng Jia looked at Li Ye and seemed to be asking, "Is this your vacation club?"

Li Ye smiled as a response.He said to Cheng Jia: "Let's go in! The food is almost ready."

Li Ye pulled out the chair for Cheng Jia, and after Cheng Jia sat down, he sat opposite and looked at Cheng Jia with a smile.Cheng Jia was very uncomfortable: "Why does Mr. Li look at me like that?"

Li Ye said, "Didn't you agree to call me Li Ye?"

Cheng Jia lowered her eyelids, not knowing what to say.Li Ye went on to say: "Cheng Jia is the most beautiful girl I have ever met! Finally got the chance, of course I have to see it!"

Cheng Jia blushed with embarrassment. She was a little uncomfortable with just the two of them at the moment, and regretted that she went to Qixing by herself at that time. Would it make her feel less cramped now if she brought one more person with her?

Li Ye is young and promising, and Seven Star Electronics is very strong, spanning many fields.Of course, she wouldn't pretend that Li Ye would have ulterior motives for her, even if there was something wrong, Cheng Jia would not provoke her casually.She looked at Li Ye and smiled slightly.

In order to alleviate her embarrassment, Cheng Jia began to observe the room they were in. Except for the tablecloth and their table, the room was empty, only potted plants on the windowsill.The pots of the potted plants are not uniform, some are made of plastic and some are made of porcelain, and the heights are scattered, but it has a special taste.

Li Ye poured a glass of water for Cheng Jia: "It's relatively simple in the countryside, but the food here is very authentic. I've eaten there several times."

"I don't think it's simple! It's full of life, I really like it! If I can have such a garden in such a place with mountains and rivers, I will be very satisfied!" Cheng Jia raised his eyes and saw Li Ye looking at her intently. Eyes dodged, and then he said: "When I was working in LS, I didn't eat for a busy day. I went to have dinner with the company leader at night, and I ate tsampa with a bowl of red chili sauce on the table. I didn't want I like to eat tsampa, I was really hungry, and I ate a lot! After eating, Mr. Gao looked at me in surprise. I didn’t understand what he was doing when he saw me. He thought he had rubbed chili sauce on his face, so he wiped it several times!” Cheng Jia laughed and continued: "Mr. Gao told me in surprise that he didn't expect me, a Han Chinese, to be able to eat raw beef!"

She looked at Li Ye: "It turns out that the bowl is not chili sauce, but food made of chili and raw beef! So it is said that human beings gradually complicate food, but the essence is to satiate the stomach."

Li Ye had a pitiful expression on Cheng Jia.Cheng Jia continued: "But it was delicious at the time, and I didn't taste it at all! President Gao also tasted it curiously later, and said he didn't get it out!"

Hearing Cheng Jia mention Gao Zhan several times, Li Ye's eyes dimmed, and he asked, "Have you been working with Mr. Gao for a long time?!"

Cheng Jia was silent for two seconds, wondering if her intuition was wrong, why did she feel that Li Ye was somewhat resistant to Gao Zhan.She replied: "It didn't take long. I worked together in XZ for two years, and it's only been three years now! I didn't have much contact in the past, and the work we were responsible for was limited!"

At this time, the boss brought in food and interrupted their conversation. Li Ye looked at Cheng Jia thoughtfully: "Eat quickly! You must be hungry!"

Cheng Jia was really hungry, and she ate voraciously. Li Ye didn't speak anymore, and felt very satisfied seeing Cheng Jia eating vigorously.

After eating, Li Ye drove Cheng Jia to "Bailu Island Tourist Resort".Said to her: "Take a rest at noon, it's too hot now, let's go to the construction site after a short rest!"

Cheng Jia nodded, and they came to a small villa-style building. Li Ye opened the door for Cheng Jia, gave her a room card, pointed to one of the rooms and said, "You rest in this room! I'm next door. I'll call you!"

Cheng Jia nodded with a smile, and Li Ye opened the door for her: "Have a good rest!" Then he opened the door on the other side and entered his room.

Cheng Jia has always been a light sleeper. She thought she would not fall asleep, so she lay on the bed with her ponytail loose, but she fell into a deep sleep unknowingly.After an unknown amount of time, she vaguely heard a knock on the door, and hurriedly got up to open the door.

Li Ye leaned against the door frame and waited for Cheng Jia. After taking a nap at noon, he couldn't fall asleep anyway.The door opened, and Li Ye saw Cheng Jia with her long hair loose and sleepy eyes suddenly felt that Cheng Jia at this moment was more real.Cheng Jia is not as delicate as usual, her hair is a little disheveled, her expression is also very loose, her big eyes are a little dull because she just woke up, and her mouth is slightly pouted, looking a little naive.He said softly: "Did you wake up? Why don't you sleep a little longer!"

Cheng Jia shivered, and immediately came to her senses: "I've been sleeping for a long time, let's start!"

Li Ye smiled and looked at Cheng Jia with unsatisfactory thoughts: "Put on your hat, the sun is still very bright!"

Cheng Jia nodded and smiled.

Li Ye first introduced to Cheng Jia the part of the existing lake area renovation. Cheng Jia took pictures and made marks according to the drawings. The progress was not very fast.

At this time, Gao Zhan, who was watching TV at home, recalled that Cheng Jia went to Qixing to work overtime today, he hesitated for a while and finally dialed the phone.

Cheng Jia was carefully marking the location on the map at the moment, and when she saw Gao Zhan calling, she immediately put down the drawing and called out in a low voice, "Mr. Gao!"

Gao Zhan spoke very slowly, "How is your blueprint docking?"

"President Li is generally satisfied with the fact that some of the color schemes and heights are different from those on the ground. I'm currently meeting with him on the construction site."

Gao Zhan was slightly taken aback: "Li Ye participated in the blueprint review today?"

"Yes!"

Gao Zhan immediately asked again: "He is with you now? How many of you went there?"

"It's just the two of us! Mr. Gao, there are still many places that have not been confirmed. I will go to work first, and I will report to you in detail when I go back!"

Gao Zhan didn't speak.

Cheng Jia thought there was a problem with the signal, so he called Mr. Gao twice.Finally Gao Zhan said: "That's it!" and hung up the phone.

When Cheng Jia was on the phone, Li Ye carefully looked at every expression of Cheng Jia, trying to capture more information. The moment Cheng Jia hung up the phone and looked at him, he looked at her big black and white eyes, Suddenly feel ashamed.

Maybe he really thought too much.In these years of wandering around the mall, Li Ye has habitually integrated his own rules of the game into his dealings with others, so when facing Cheng Jia, on the one hand, he was intoxicated by her beauty, and on the other hand, he wondered how could there be such a thing in this world? beautiful.Doubting and involuntarily wanting to explore and deny.At this moment, he suddenly dispelled his worries. Gu Jia's occasional childlike attitude, her frank eyes with black and white, the pride and intelligence in her bones cannot be deceived.

Li Ye unscrewed the mineral water very gently and handed it to Cheng Jia.

After Gao Zhan hung up the phone - furious, he threw away the remote control in his hand.In the past few days, he has been feeling lost and avoiding his feelings for Cheng Jia, so he didn't think about Cheng Jia's going to Seven Star Electronics. It is also common to work overtime on weekends, so he didn't take it to heart.Now in Gao Zhan's mind, the image of Li Ye squatting next to Cheng Jia's legs, holding her ankle.He picked up the phone and wanted to call Cheng Jia. He looked at the time and found that it was past four o'clock. He thought for a while, thinking that since Li Ye had planned to take Cheng Jia there, he might not have planned to return today.How can a general manager with a lot of work go to the site in person for such a project?
He picked up the car keys and handbag and walked out immediately.There was a screeching sound of tires in the parking lot...

Cheng Jia's progress here is very slow. The resort is not small. There are landscape lights, street lights, and surveillance. She has to take photos of the site and mark the location of the drawings. She is very busy.Before she knew it, she worked continuously for nearly two hours, and the sun was about to set.

Li Ye took Cheng Jia to the lake, "There must be solar lighting and landscape lights along the lake. The lights are three meters high. It is best to be in the shape of an egret, which can better blend into the landscape..."

Cheng Jia immediately took pictures and carefully marked and made notes on the drawings.The breeze blew, and Cheng Jia's long hair and skirt fluttered with the wind...

Li Ye was a little dazed. Cheng Jia's uneven figure sculpted by the wind reminded him of the soft touch on his arm that day. His throat tightened, and his heart danced along with Cheng Jia's fluttering long hair.

Cheng Jia was concentrating on her work, while Li Ye was concentrating on her...

Cheng Jia's cell phone rang untimely, and it was Gao Zhan who called.She picked up the phone: "Mr. Gao, hello!"

"Where are you?" Gao Zhan's voice was still low.

"I'm at Mr. Li's resort!" Cheng Jia was a little confused.

"Where is the resort?" Gao Zhan continued to ask.

Cheng Jia put down the blueprint in her hand and said solemnly, "I'm by the lake!"

The phone hangs up.In less than 3 minutes, Gao Zhan's Mercedes-Benz arrived in a hurry.

Gao Zhan saw Cheng Jia with flying skirt at a glance, he got off the car and walked towards her.

Li Ye also saw Gao Zhan, and his heart felt calm after a moment of surprise.Gao Zhan and Li Ye shook hands with smiles on their faces. Gao Zhan said, "I happen to be working nearby. I heard that Cheng Jia and you are here, so I came here!"

"Oh! President Gao is so welcome! You came just in time, let's have a drink today!"

Cheng Jia froze on the spot in astonishment, she was faintly uneasy, but she really didn't want to think about why she was uneasy.

She came over and called out: "President Gao!" She couldn't hide her surprise!
Gao Zhan looked deeply at Cheng Jia, "The place where I work is not far from here!" Then he looked at the lake in the distance, and continued: "Mr. Li's resort has chosen a good place!"

Following his eyes, the lake surface in the distance is dotted with golden waves under the reflection of the setting sun, the smoke rising from the village is swaying gracefully, and occasionally a few white waterfowls fly by, waking up the scenery, otherwise , I really thought it was a painting!

Cheng Jia was so engrossed in watching that she missed the short meaningful look at the two men beside her!
