Fallen

Chapter 8
Tian Ning went on a business trip to Xishan, originally scheduled for two days, but he did not reappear at the company until the morning of the fourth day.

Xia Xia observed the words and expressions while reporting work in Tian Ning's office, and found that the boss looked serious, unable to distinguish between emotions and anger.After nagging about daily affairs, Xia Xia wanted to slip away, but was stopped by Tian Ning.

Tian Ning asked straight to the point: "Did you tell Han Qing about my going to Xishan?"

Xia Xia was apprehensive, noncommittal: "Are you two getting along?"

Tian Ning closed his eyes forcefully, and said two words between his teeth: "Divided."

"Ah?" Xia Xia was startled, thinking about why Han Qing might be crying so much now, she felt sympathy in her heart. separated?"

"Do you know what I hate the most?"

"..."

"I hate being led by the nose the most!" Tian Ning turned her eyes back to her, and this time Xia Xia finally saw the fierce look in his eyes, "Who told you to be troublesome, give her information and let her chase me down with?"

"I, I'm not..."

"Let me tell you, Guo Xiaxia! If you hadn't meddled in it, Han Qing and I would be inseparable! Don't look aggrieved, it's up to you!"

Xia Xia was furious all over, and when she thought about it carefully, she really wanted to slap her two big mouths, eat too much and let the two psychopaths fight, she really deserved it!
She stomped her feet and left the office angrily.

Before getting off work, Tian Ning came out of the office and stood by Xia Xia's desk: "Let's go together?"

Xia Xia turned her face away to ignore him.

After a stalemate for a while, Tian Ning said again: "I'll wait for you downstairs." His tone was a bit lonely.

After Xia Xia packed her things and went downstairs, Tian Ning's car was lying quietly on the side of the street. She wanted to turn a blind eye and walk over, but Tian Ning called out to her: "Guo Xiaxia!"

Colleagues passed by one after another, Xia Xia didn't want to attract attention, so she walked towards Tian Ning's car, who was poking his head out of the car window, staring at her eagerly.

Arriving in front of Tian Ning, Xia Xia pursed her lips and said coldly, "Get out of the car!"

Tian Ning understood, and explained with a smile: "You don't need to drive today, I will see you off."

Xia Xia was also polite, turned around the front of the car to the other side, got into the passenger seat and sat calmly.

Tian Ning was not in a hurry to start it, so he let out a sigh of relief and said, "I'm sorry, I was in a bad mood this morning, and I didn't speak properly. Don't worry about it."

Xia Xia was silent.

"The fact that I broke up with Han Qing has nothing to do with you... She is too realistic and shrewd. I just realized now that it was a mistake to be with her."

"..."

"The most difficult thing for a person to accept is to admit that he has made a mistake. Even if he has already realized it, he still tries to cover it up. The result is that it gets worse and worse."

Xia Xia didn't expect Tian Ning to have such introspective emotions, and felt a little more at ease.

Tian Ning turned to look at her: "Why are you so silent, think I talk too much?"

"No, what you said... I don't quite understand it."

Tian Ning thought for a while: "You used to be in Maixin, did you understand what Ye Yinfeng said?"

Xia Xia immediately became annoyed: "Why did you mention him?"

Tian Ning laughed loudly: "Guo Xiaxia, when will you be able to be a little bit of a city, don't you just say that? But every time I see your anxious expression, I feel so refreshed, haha!"

"Pervert!" Xia Xiabai glanced at him, and he felt strange, how could he suddenly disappear without a trace after being angry for a day.

The long Spring Festival holiday has arrived falteringly in the anticipation of many people.

This holiday, Xia Xia hurried back to Sanjiang after only staying in her hometown for three days. She had a major task to attend to—Xiaochun wanted to arrange a blind date for her.

Xiaochun and Jiang Youtian finally made their relationship clear before the Spring Festival, and the parents of both parties knew each other well, so they met both parents quickly, and the sweetness was infinite for a while.

Xiaochun couldn't see his close friend guarding the empty window alone, so he conspired with Jiang Youtian, planning to introduce his buddy who is a policeman to Xia Xia.The two sides agreed to pick a date to meet during the Spring Festival holiday.

Xia Xia returned to Sanjiang by late-night train, and the next morning, while she was still asleep, Xiaochun brought her boyfriend to kill her.Xia Xia went to open the door with a disheveled face, and when she saw a man, she was so frightened that she hurried back to her room to straighten her clothes.

"If you turn off your mobile phone, you will know that you must be sleeping in!" Xiaochun followed and urged her, "Hurry up and dress up, and go to dinner later, I have already made an appointment with someone."

"Do you need to be in such a hurry?" Xia Xia complained while hurriedly getting dressed, "I haven't woken up yet!"

"Stop talking, hurry up! It's just to meet each other to close our eyes, and we don't need to prepare anything! But to be honest, that person is really nice, handsome, and self-motivated..." Xiaochun spoke to each other like a lotus flower. He praised it severely.

"Have you met a real person?" Xia Xia also looked forward to it.

"No, I heard from Jiang Youtian that he rarely compliments others!"

Xia Xia couldn't help joking: "Jiang Youtian said that? Are you entering the role a little too quickly? Immediately marry a chicken and follow the chicken, marry a dog and follow the dog, marry a pole and carry it away!"

Xiaochun jumped forward with a smile: "Watch me tear your dog's mouth apart!"

This commotion dispelled Xia Xia's drowsiness a lot.Accompanied by friends, Xia Xia's first round of blind dates officially kicked off.

The young man was really good, he was very handsome, fair and handsome, and when asked, he was not an armed policeman, but a civil servant, who was in charge of household registration at the police station, and he was a bit shy, so he didn't take the initiative to talk to Xia Xia. Xiaochun and Jiang Youtian talked.

On the way, Xiaochun carried Xia Xia into the bathroom: "You guys can't do this, it's as if you came out to watch Jiang Youtian and I play duo, you have to talk to each other to get to know each other to have fun!"

"But he won't talk to me, what can I do!" Xia Xia expressed helplessness.

"Stupid! You don't know how to think of themes yourself! What age is it, and you're still waiting for a man to take the initiative! Let me tell you, if you fall in love with someone, you have to use your brain to attract him, otherwise a good man will be gone all the time. It’s been picked out, you can cry with a group of crooked melons and rotten dates!”

Xia Xia completely ignored the "golden and good words" in Xiaochun's words, and stared at her with bright eyes: "Wow! You and Jiang Youtian must have taken the initiative, right? Right?"

Xiaochun blushed, and pushed her hard: "Talk about your problem! Why are you teasing me!"

In order to create more opportunities for the two parties on the blind date, the four of them went to drink tea after lunch. After drinking tea, Xiaochun saw that the two of them were in good condition, so she urged the police brothers to invite Xia Xia to dinner alone. field.

As soon as the buddy left, the policeman saw that he was alone in the scene, his fair face blushed at first, and Xia Xia's face also blushed when he saw this.

"What do you like to eat?" The policeman asked proactively.

"Anything will do."

"Then... I had Chinese food at noon, how about a change in the evening, how about we go have steak?"

"Okay!"

Xia Xia followed him with her bag, thinking that although this person was introverted, he still had ideas, and he was more able to make up his mind, and was reliable.

The only unreliable thing is that the two still have nothing to say when they are alone.

In the evening, there was a long line in front of the steak shop, and Xia Xia followed the police and waited silently in the line.Most of the time, the two of them stared at the night scene outside the glass window in a daze. Occasionally, when their star eyes turned and their eyes collided accidentally, they smiled reservedly at each other.

Xia Xia couldn't help but feel depressed. Although it is said that silence is better than sound when they are in love, isn't it a bit too much for them to play this game at the beginning?
After finally getting a seat, Xia Xia decided to listen to Xiaochun's words and take the initiative. When she was searching for a topic, the policeman pointed to her bag: "Is your phone ringing?"

Xia Xia hurriedly turned out the phone, glanced at the incoming call, and suddenly felt that it was Tian Ning calling. She expected that nothing good would happen, but she had to answer it.

Tian Ning told her on the phone that he was drunk and lying in a private room of a restaurant, and asked Xia Xia to drive to pick her up.

Xia Xia swallowed her anger and suggested: "Can't you find someone from the company's driving class?"

"If it's a big holiday, don't bother others! Hurry up, come here quickly! I have a terrible headache!"

It was only then that Xia Xia noticed that his tongue was indeed a little big, and frowned and asked for the address of the restaurant.

After the phone call, Xia Xia was very sorry: "Well, I..."

The police officer obviously understood what was going on, and said very straightforwardly: "It's okay, you have something to do!"

Xia Xia left the steakhouse with mixed feelings of relief and regret.

When standing on the street to take a taxi, all kinds of refutations against Tian Ning immediately filled her mind.

If you don't want to bother others, why don't you bother me?Can't drive a car and can't take a taxi back?
She slapped her head suddenly, she was so stupid, if she just told Tian Ning that she was still in her hometown, all the troubles would have been solved!
But in that case, the police will definitely find out that she is lying and question her character, which seems even more uneconomical.

Thinking wildly all the way to the private room of the hotel, the tables inside have been cleaned up, but the air is filled with the choking smell of cigarettes. Tian Ning is lying on the sofa on his back, rubbing his forehead with his hands, and seems to have fallen asleep.

Xia Xia approached him and called twice before Tian Ning opened his misty eyes, and immediately blocked the light with his hand again when he saw the light.

"Are you here?" His voice was hoarse.

Although it was just a quick glance, Xia Xia still saw the bloodshot eyes in the boss's eyes, her heart softened suddenly, she nodded and asked, "Can you go by yourself?"

"Yes!" Tian Ning struggled to sit up, his face was pale, but his mind was still clear, he rubbed his hair and shook his head, heaved a sigh of relief like the rest of his life, "Finally it's calmed down."

He was quite clear in his mind, but he staggered when he walked, and had to put Xia Xia's shoulders to borrow some strength.Standing in the elevator, he joked leisurely: "I'm sorry, I took advantage of you."

Xia Xia glanced at him.He was a full head taller than her, and the arms on her shoulders were restrained and did not exert any force, as if he was afraid of crushing her.

"Why does it take so long to eat a meal?"

"Let's drink!" Tian Ning had a painful expression on his face as soon as he spoke.

"What's wrong with your mouth?"

"Tongue is blistered." Tian Ning hoarsed secretly, "I drank too much, afraid of saying the wrong thing, so I kept biting my own tongue."

Xia Xia was surprised, and sighed, "It's not easy being a salesperson."

Tian Ning smiled wryly, and suddenly fell silent. After getting into the car, he opened his mouth slowly, gnashing his teeth, "That guy, if he's not a client, I really want to slap him hard!"

Xia Xia was still waiting to listen carefully, but he didn't say anything, turned his head out of the window, and didn't speak for a long time.Xia Xia also let him start the car on his own.

The car drove past the Sanjiang night like a wind and waves, the traffic on the street was like water, pedestrians were in a hurry, the storefronts along the street were brightly lit, and on the unmanaged sidewalks, hawkers were busy for the night market.Life is flowing everywhere on the road, the world is lively and chaotic.

Arriving downstairs at Tian Ning's house, Xia Xia parked the car in the parking space and found that Tian Ning had fallen asleep. She wanted to push him to wake him up, but just as she stretched out her hand, seeing his exhausted face, she hesitated, whether to shrink back or not. back.

Fortunately, Tian Ning woke up not long after, and sat up straight, seeing clearly that it was at the door of his own house, and then relaxed again. He turned his head and glanced at Xia Xia: "Thank you!"

Xia Xia grinned: "Can you go upstairs by yourself? I won't send you up."

She put on her bag and was about to say goodbye, but Tian Ning grabbed her hand, seeing her expression changed, she let it go quickly: "Go up and sit for a while before leaving."

Xia Xia was upset: "I haven't eaten dinner yet!"

Tian Ning actually laughed with a good temper: "Then I can't let you go, I'll treat you to dinner."

"Forget it, go to bed early, don't make trouble!" Xia Xiashi didn't want to spend much time with him.

However, Tian Ning didn't wink and tried to persuade him to stay: "Don't worry about it, I'll cook it at home for you to eat. I'm good at cooking."

But no matter how Tian Ning persuaded, Xia Xia still insisted on leaving. She pushed the door and got out of the car. When Tian Ning saw her, she hurried down. She couldn't stand firmly on her feet, and staggered to the edge of the flower bed.

"Hey! You..." Xia Xia had no choice but to turn around and pull him up again, "How are you doing?"

"Dizzy, dizzy."

"Anyone at home?"

"No, my parents went to drink with relatives." Tian Ning's attitude at the moment was as honest as a primary school student.

Xia Xia had no choice but to help him upstairs.

Sure enough, there was no one at home.

Tian's house is spacious, but the decoration is very simple and clean.Xia Xia helped Tian Ning to lie down on the sofa, and poured him a cup of hot tea. Seeing his blushing and staggering appearance, he felt a little uneasy about leaving like this, so he had to reluctantly beg the little girl opposite him. Sit down on the sofa.

"When will your parents come back?"

"It's early! Dinner parties usually don't end until nine o'clock."

Xia Xia looked at his watch, and it didn't arrive at seven o'clock, so he couldn't help being discouraged. Should he stay here for two hours?

Tian Ning was at ease. Although he was tired physically, after the tossing all the way just now, his drowsiness was gone.

"Are you hungry?" He asked Xia Xia, "There should be something to eat in the refrigerator, you can pick whatever you want."

Xia Xia was really hungry. She found a handful of dried noodles in the kitchen. There were lettuce and braised pork in the refrigerator. She took out some and planned to eat a bowl of hot noodle soup.Remembering that Tian Ning didn't have dinner yet, she came out and asked him, "Do you want it?"

Tian Ning shook his head: "I can't eat it."

Among the kitchen tasks, the following is the most trouble-free. Ten minutes later, Xia Xia was already sitting at the table in the dining room and eating.

Tian Ning leaned on the sofa and watched her eat. Under the orange light, her face full of enthusiasm for food brought him a rare warmth.

"What were you doing when I called you, so reluctantly?"

Xia Xia sniffed and replied dissatisfied: "If it was you, having a good meal with your friends, and the boss called to ask you to work overtime, would you be happy?"

Tian Ning deliberately ignored her complaints: "Friend? Is it your boyfriend?"

Xia Xia's facial expression suddenly became uncomfortable: "No."

Tian Ning smiled and said, "Don't lie to me, my eyes are very poisonous, so what does it matter if I'm a boyfriend."

Maybe it was his soft tone at the moment, or maybe it was the warm surroundings, Xia Xia finally let go of the precautions she had always carried on her shoulders, licked her lips, and said wryly: "It's really not a boyfriend, that's... ...just meeting for the first time."

"Oh, so it's a blind date." Tian Ning was very interested, and half sat up on the sofa, "How is the other party and what does he do?"

Xia Xia gave a general introduction to the situation of the police, but she always felt embarrassed to talk about such a personal topic with the boss, and she didn't want to talk about it in depth.She finished the noodles quickly, and finally blocked Tian Ning's various inquiries by washing the dishes.

After cleaning up the kitchen, Xia Xia went back to the living room. Seeing that Tian Ning's eyes were bright and energetic, she obviously didn't need to worry about him anymore, so she proposed to leave again.

Tian Ning was unhappy when he heard this: "Is there something urgent at home?"

"I'm not in a hurry, I have to go home! Why don't I have nothing to do with you!"

"Nothing to do?" Tian Ning tilted his head, thought for a moment and said, "I'm hungry, give me a bowl of noodles."

Xia Xia was so angry: "Didn't you say you were not hungry when I asked you just now?"

"Yeah! I wasn't hungry just now, but now I'm hungry!" Tian Ning looked innocent, "You can give me a bowl, I smelled really good when you ate it just now."

Xia Xia gritted her teeth and went back to the kitchen. Tian Ning was still yelling at her in the living room: "Not too much, a small bowl is enough. I'm so sorry, I told you I'd cook for you, but I asked you to do it instead."

Seven or eight minutes later, Xia Xia had brought out the hot noodles.

Tian Ning was surprised: "So fast? Could it still be raw?"

Xia Xia didn't answer, she put the bowl in front of Tian Ning, and said coldly: "This time I can go, right?"

Tian Ning smiled and said, "You don't want to see me like that... All right, go back." He struggled to get off the sofa, "I'll see you off!"

"No! You can help me by eating the noodles and going to bed early!"

But Tian Ning had already staggered towards the door.Xia Xia passed him easily, and was about to grab the doorknob first, Tian Ning felt anxious for some reason, and stretched out his hand to give Xia Xia a hand.

"Oh!" Xia Xia lost her center of gravity, and fell backwards on Tian Ning. Tian Ning couldn't stand still, and the two of them rolled down on the floor together.

After a few seconds of silence, Tian Ning first burst out laughing. Xia Xia found herself in his arms, and immediately felt ashamed and annoyed. She wanted to stand up, but Tian Ning held her like a prank.

"Guo Xiaxia, do you know that you are actually stupid?"

Xia Xia was so angry that she wanted to retort, but Tian Ning suddenly held back her smile and stared at herself blankly, her eyes were as soft as water that had never been seen before.

Xia Xia was stunned, suddenly felt scared, pushed Tian Ning away violently, stumbled up, opened the door and ran out.

Until he ran out of the community and walked on the brightly lit street, Tian Ning's strange eyes were still dangling in front of him like ghosts.

Xia Xia stopped the car and drove home, the scenery passing by outside the window gradually calmed her down.She raised her arm and sniffed the smell of alcohol on her clothes, nuzui shook her head.

Drunkards are really the scariest animals in the world.

On the last day of the long vacation, Xiaochun called Xiaxia. When they talked about the blind date, she hesitated for a while before saying, "Xiaxia, otherwise... let me introduce you to another one!"

As soon as Xia Xia heard it, she understood that there was nothing to do with the police. She didn't feel very sad, but her self-esteem was somewhat hit, and she said in a low mood: "Forget it, I'm not in the mood to do this recently, and we can talk about it later."

Seeing this, Xiaochun had no choice but to try to persuade her. The meaning behind the words was nothing more than: Xia Xia was not a bad person, but she was not in the right mood with that policeman.Xia Xiaben also wanted to find fault with the police to show that he didn't care, but after thinking about it, Xiaochun might have thought that he couldn't eat grapes and said grapes were sour, so he simply gave up.

After talking on the phone with Xiaochun, Xia Xia still felt a little depressed, like a cloud of gray fog lingering in her heart. She couldn't figure out what the policeman didn't like about her. Going to work in the company one day, the spirit is still a little sluggish.

Tian Ning also came to the company not long after. He had a new super short hairstyle, he looked refreshed and walked steadily.

"Guo Xiaxia, come in!"

"Oh!" Xia Xia followed listlessly, forgetting about serving him during the holidays.

Tian Ning looked at her while sitting down: "Why are you like an eggplant beaten by Shuang? What happened?"

"No!"

Tian Ning thought for a while: "Has your blind date ended?"
"Yellow." Xia Xia told the truth with her eyes rolled.

"Who didn't see who?"

"He didn't see me."

"Oh--"

Tian Ning raised his chin, and his eyes were full of teasing and smiles. Xia Xia suddenly became angry, and began to accuse him with his mouth: "If you didn't pull me out halfway, leaving a bad impression on people, this Can things be turned into a mess?" She finally learned his usual trick - picked up Zhu Bajie's rake and began to beat back.

Tian Ning raised her eyebrows: "Are you cheating on me? Don't you can't pull out shit monsters..."

Halfway through the sentence, thinking that it was not appropriate to compare himself to the "Maokeng", and Xia Xia had a aggressive expression again, Tian Ning swallowed all the words behind, sighed, shook his head and said: "Guo Xiaxia, go to the bathroom to take pictures. Look in the mirror and see how vicious your expression is now!"

Xia Xia didn't wake up at all, and replied viciously: "Work for the boss, if you don't be tougher, my little life will be lost long ago!"

After finishing speaking, Xia Xia rushed out angrily and closed the office door forcefully.

"You've got more guts, you!" Tian Ning was dumbfounded, and just stared at the direction where Xia Xia disappeared and muttered to himself.

After the Spring Festival, it is the New Year in the true sense. There is no more festivals to look forward to.

In March, the department was even busier, and everyone hoped to sign a few more orders at the end of the quarter.What Tian Ning is most nervous about is Shunying's project. In his spare time, Xia Xia also heard that Maixin is also working hard on it.

In the middle of the month, Shunying Company sent a representative to meet Qunxin. Tian Jingyi greeted him in person, and the specifications were extremely grand. As an assistant to the sales director, Xia Xia naturally couldn't just sit back and watch.

Throughout the day, she was sent around by Tian Ning, and when she was running to the conference room with a stack of documents, she ran into a middle-aged man in the corridor, who greeted her with a smile on his face: "Miss Guo, long time no see! "

Xia Xia was stunned for a few seconds before realizing that it was Mr. Liu who taught her how to play golf.

Mr. Liu intentionally got close to her, and suggested Tian Ning to invite Xia Xia during the meal. Tian Jingyi agreed, but Tian Ning found an excuse to push him away. No one else was fine, but Tian Jingyi looked at him more than once. .

They have been busy all day, and they didn't die down until night fell.

It was very late, but the lights in Tian Ning's office were still on.

Xia Xia finished all the chores that the boss had given her, and went in with her bag, planning to say hello to Tian Ning and go home.

In the office, Tian Ning was sitting behind the desk and talking on the phone with his feet crossed. He spoke privately. Seeing Xia Xia coming in, he didn't intend to avoid suspicion. He only gestured for her to wait, and Xia Xia had to stand aside.

"...If he wants to receive, let him receive it! I don't have any ideas. Anyway, the bid hasn't been opened yet, so it's good to set off smoke bombs. It would be better if you can make him feel that the order is guaranteed, and then he will fall down... ...Haha! I know, I know! Don't worry, Ye Yinfeng is afraid of wolves and tigers, so he can't play many tricks... Well, okay, that's it!"

After hanging up the phone, Tian Ning looked at Xia Xia with a smile on purpose. The latter's face was not very good-looking as he expected.

"Do you think I'm mean?"

Xia Xia turned her head and ignored him.

"If I'm not mean, the one who dies is me."

"I didn't say anything!"

"Then who are you showing this ugly face to?" Tian Ning raised her voice.

Xia Xia was very confused. Ye Yinfeng had always been a very upright image in her mind. Even if she left him, subconsciously, she still didn't want him to stumble.

"Do you think Ye Yinfeng is a good person? Do you think he can win those projects cleanly?"

Tian Ning recognized a trace of hesitation and disdain for himself from Xia Xia's expression, and the anger in his heart suddenly intensified, and he blurted out without thinking: "If he is really as good as you think, he shouldn't give up on you for that prostitute! "

Xia Xia's face turned pale in an instant, she glanced at Tian Ning with disbelieving eyes, turned around and ran out.

The moment she turned away, Tian Ning caught the tears in her eyes, her heart tightened, and she sat in the chair at a loss.

In fact, he regretted it as soon as he said it.

He didn't understand what was wrong with him, he always wanted to pick on Xia Xia's thorns and even embarrass her, but once she showed a hurt look, he couldn't stand it.

After sitting for an unknown amount of time, he suddenly woke up, stood up abruptly, and strode out of the office.However, Xia Xia had already left, and the seat was empty.

He stared at the empty chair, a strong sense of loss welling up in his heart.

Xia Xia got off the car early when there was still one kilometer away from the rental house, and walked slowly along the lively pedestrian street.

The tears that were almost forced by Tian Ning didn't take shape after all. As time went by, the scar on his heart became more and more shallow after all.

What made Xia Xia angry was Tian Ning's attitude towards her, teasing him like a cat catching a mouse. He was happier seeing that he was pushed into a hurry than signing a big order.She still couldn't figure out what Tian Ning was thinking.

Of course, she didn't intend to figure it out.

For Xia Xia, Tian Ning is just a passer-by in her life, and she doesn't need to worry about such a person who may part ways with her at any time.

At the end of a section of the road, there is the main entrance of the rental housing complex, and Xia Xia's mood has almost recovered.She cheered herself up, put the boss's hateful face behind her, and walked in with vigor.

The Shunying project fell into Qunxin's bag without much suspense.The amount of the order was considerable, and Tian Jingyi, the chairman of the board, personally convened a celebration banquet. All relevant personnel who were involved in the project were invited, including Xia Xia and Wang Jing.

During the dinner, Xia Xia went to the bathroom, and when he came back, he ran into Tian Jingyi in the corridor. He stopped to say hello to Xia Xia, which made Xia Xia flattered.

"Where is Xiao Guo from?"

"My hometown is Yifeng, Tian Dong."

"Oh, that's a nice place to serve good tea."

"Yes, our white tea is quite famous."

"When will you go back to your hometown, how about bringing me two cans of good tea?" Tian Jingyi smiled.

"No problem!" Xia Xia straightened her back, but felt that the chairman was unusual today, with extraordinarily kind eyes and an extraordinarily kind attitude. It really is a happy event.

She hummed a little tune and walked towards the private room, and met Tian Ning again, the tune disappeared immediately, and at the same time, she recovered her serious face.

Recently, Xia Xia was fighting a cold war with Tian Ning, and she was the one who challenged her. As long as it had nothing to do with work, she would never comment, which made Tian Ning quite depressed.

"Mr. Tian." After Xia Xiabin politely addressed him, he wanted to pass by.

"wait!"

Tian Ning called her, glanced suspiciously at her expression, he had seen her happily just now, why did it turn sunny to cloudy as soon as he was in front of him?

"What's the matter, Mr. Tian?"

"After a while, don't rush home, go to the company with me. There is still something to deal with."

"Okay, Mr. Tian."

"I said, can you stop talking so rigidly, it's like singing an opera!"

"Yes, Mr. Tian. Is there anything else, Mr. Tian?"

Tian Ning didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and waved his hand: "Okay, okay, let's go."

A few days later, Xia Xia was called into the office by Tian Ning. After explaining the business, he took out a paper bag from the drawer and handed it to Xia Xia.

"Shunying's order was successfully signed, and you have a share of the credit here, but you can't count on the commission. The company has no such rules. I will give you a suit as a reward."

"I don't want it!" Xia Xia didn't even stretch out her hand.

Tian Ning looked at the clothes, then at her face: "Are you not even interested in taking a look?"

"Since the company doesn't have this rule, I can't take your things casually."

"It has nothing to do with the company, I gave it to you personally."

"Then I can't have it anymore."

Tian Ning threw the pen away, and the irritability rose in his body again: "You won't let me return it intact, will you?"

"It has nothing to do with me."

"Guo Xiaxia!" Tian Ning calmed down, trying not to let himself explode, "Do you still want this job?"

Xia Xia Zhenlie's eyes suddenly softened, and she coughed lightly: "President Tian, ​​you can't keep threatening me with this matter."

"I didn't mean to threaten you! I'm happy to sign the form and want to send you something. Why are you leaving me alone? Also, if you always come to work with your current emotions, how can we work together in the future?"

Xia Xia's hardness loosened a bit, and she muttered, "It's not you who provoked it every time!"

When Tian Ning saw that she was finally speaking human again, Tian Ning's mood immediately eased a lot, and there was a smile on his face: "It's not the first day you know me, you still don't know my bad temper? Even my mother took me No way - that's enough, you put away your things, and let's do things in a down-to-earth manner like before, how nice it is!"

Xia Xia struggled for a while, but finally compromised with the reality, moved to lean over, and took the paper bag in her hand: "Then...thank you, Mr. Tian."

She didn't have the nerve to take out the clothes to look at at the company, and only took them out to appreciate them when she got home.

Tian Ning's vision is really good, the size fits well, and the color matches Xia Xia's skin very well.The bright colors made Xia Xia's mood dance lightly.

After being intoxicated for a while, she suddenly remembered the price issue, and quickly took it off to check, but Tian Ning had already cut off the price on the sign.

But this is not a problem for Xia Xia, in the age of Internet information, there are only things you can't think of, and there is nothing you can't find online - just check the brand specifications of the clothes and it will be clear.

And the price found out made Xia Xia speechless, a sweater and a small suit cost tens of thousands!
Xia Xia didn't sleep well all night, and that clear five-digit number became a stone on her heart.

At lunch the next day, Xia Xia waited for Wang Jing to go to the restaurant together, and asked her if Tian Ning had delivered anything to her former assistant before.

Wang Jing blinked her eyes and pondered for a few seconds, and immediately understood, she didn't want to hurt Xia Xia and didn't want to lie, so she smacked her lips for a while and said: "Yes, there is, Mr. Tian, ​​he is quite generous."

"Then... what are you giving?"

"Well, it depends on the situation. Sometimes it's clothes, sometimes it's bags or something. Oh, he brought back a few bottles of perfume from Hong Kong once, and even gave me a bottle!"

Wang Jing spoke excitedly, glanced at Xia Xia's thoughtful expression, and quickly comforted: "Don't worry, if he doesn't send you off now, it doesn't mean that he won't have a chance in the future. I know that you have run a lot in this Shunying project. , how about... let me give you some tips?"

"Oh, no need!" Xia Xia shook her head desperately, finally letting go of her heart.

It turned out that Tian Ning also gave such a generous gift to her ex. There was no other meaning, and it was useless for her to be nervous all night.

Compared with the jubilation of Qunxin, the atmosphere of Maixin is somewhat solemn.

Feng Yuanzhe and Cui Youxin sat in Ye Yinfeng's office solemnly.Feng Yuanzhe just dialed his cell phone once, shaking his head and sighing: "Old Lin still refuses to answer the phone."

Cui Youxin was in a heavy heart: "This matter is up to me. Once the situation comes up and the situation is not investigated clearly..."

Ye Yinfeng waved his hand to show that he didn't need to blame himself, and at the same time said to Feng Yuanzhe who was still insisting on dialing: "Yuanzhe, forget it. He deliberately avoids us, it doesn't matter how many times you dial. Besides, things are now, Even if the reasons he gave us are perfect, it doesn't help, a loss is a loss."

Feng Yuanzhe stuffed the phone into his pocket with a sad face, just when the extension on Ye Yinfeng's desk rang, the secretary told: "Mr. Ye, there is a Mr. Tian who wants to talk to you."

Ye Yinfeng knew that the visitor was not good after guessing, so he took a deep breath: "...Come in."

Tian Ning's unrestrained laughter quickly hit the eardrums: "Mr. Ye! I'm so sorry, I signed Shunying's case."

"Then congratulations, Mr. Tian."

"Hahaha! Ye Yinfeng, you really have a big belly, do you know why Lao Lin is avoiding you?"

Ye Yinfeng actually figured it out the moment he heard his call, and could only keep smiling at this moment.

"Old Lin has been mine for a long time! Didn't you expect it? But there's nothing to be surprised about. I learned the trick of being tied up from you. The two of us paid each other back! Don't you think so? "

Ye Yinfeng still didn't speak, but his smile was already uncomfortable, and his palms were inadvertently clenched into fists.

"Old classmate, to be honest, it's very exciting to compete with you. It makes me feel like I'm back in my school days, although I often lost to you at that time. Do you remember what you said to me before-one win or loss doesn't count What, the future is long, you still have opportunities! Now I will give you this sentence in return, haha! Next, we have to see you at Jiang Run's project!"

Jiang Run's project was delayed again and again, causing many suppliers to panic, fearing that it would end up in the end. Fortunately, after the New Year, there was finally reliable news that it would be launched.

After answering Tian Ning's call, Ye Yinfeng felt that a certain part of his body was constantly tilting, and his whole body seemed to be slipping into the edge of imbalance.

Feng Yuanzhe and Cui Youxin were staring at him expectantly, as if they wanted to wait for him to say a few more words, but he had no intention of talking nonsense, and ordered: "Let's do this first. Old Cui, go back and check if there is anything missing in Jiang Run's case." , I will talk to you again tomorrow."

As soon as the two walked out, Ye Yinfeng couldn't sit still any longer, walked to the window, took a deep breath, and opened the window again if it wasn't enough.

The early spring breeze brings a little shy warmth, timidly touching the cheeks, neither cold nor hot.

He closed his eyes and adjusted his breathing slowly, hoping to use this action to calm down his mind.

Someone knocked on the office door, and then pushed the door open. It was Li Wen, the newly hired secretary, holding a cup of Starbucks coffee: "Mr. Ye, you want Mocha."

"Put it on the table."

"Ok."

Li Wen put down the coffee and walked out lightly.

Ye Yinfeng stood by the window for more than ten minutes before he felt a little better. He walked back to the desk and planned to start working again.

When he raised his hand, he actually knocked over the coffee cup, and the brown liquid flowed all over the table, and the mood he had finally adjusted was destroyed in an instant.

He stood up abruptly, grabbed his coat and walked out. When he passed by Li Wen's desk, he stamped his feet slightly and said in a deep voice, "My desk was stained by coffee, please ask Auntie to clean it up."

After saying that, he walked away, not looking at Li Wen's frightened face, but he was full of disgust for her in his heart-why put the coffee in a place where he could easily knock it over?It's really a no-brainer to do things!

Li Wen has been here for a month, but Ye Yinfeng found that he still couldn't adapt to her. He subconsciously compared her with Xia Xia, thinking that she was not smart enough, enthusiastic enough, or discerning enough. In short, she Nothing compares to Xia Xia.

When he got into the car, Ye Yinfeng was in a terrible mood, especially when he found that he was blaming an innocent little girl, his frustration added a bit of contempt for himself.

His self-control, which has always been good, is getting farther and farther away from him at some point.

The door of Mengxuan's home decoration is open, there is no light inside, looking in from the outside, there is an illusion of stepping into the darkness, but that is only a moment - after adapting to the dim light, Ye Yinfeng quickly sees The people inside are busy.

Wenxuan just bought a new batch of goods, and she was squatting on the ground with her helper to unpack the package. When she noticed the sound of footsteps, she raised her eyes and immediately smiled: "Why are you here at this time?"

Ye Yinfeng stood with the backlight, Wenxuan couldn't see the expression on his face clearly, only heard him ask in a hoarse voice: "Are you busy now? If not, can you go for a walk with me?"

Wen Xuan hurriedly got up and went to the sink to wash her hands, then gave some instructions to the helper, put on her coat and said to Ye Yinfeng, "Let's go."

From the shop to Ye Yinfeng's car, Wen Xuan didn't ask any questions along the way, but just accompanied him silently.

As soon as they got on the viaduct, Ye Yinfeng's car drove very fast immediately, overtaking and changing lanes without slowing down, Wen Xuan had to hold on to the bracelet several times to stabilize her body, she turned her head and glanced at Ye Yinfeng, and saw that his lips were tight. He pursed his eyes and stared straight ahead, as if he was serious with someone invisible.

After the car got off the ramp and turned into a secluded old street, Ye Yinfeng gradually slowed down, and then parked the car beside the road.

Both of them breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, but Wen Xuan remained silent, she was waiting for Ye Yinfeng to speak first.

Ye Yinfeng straightened his body and leaned back in the chair, still looking forward: "Why don't you ask me anything?"

Wen Xuan looked at him and smiled: "There's nothing to ask... If you want to go crazy, I'll just go crazy with you."

These words are like the most effective consolation medicine, making Ye Yinfeng feel relaxed all over.He unbuckled his seat belt, sideways put Wen Xuan into his arms, and Wen Xuan also hugged his waist, the two embraced quietly, feeling each other's warmth.

"Missed another form?" Wen Xuan stroked the back of his prickly head.

"Hmm." Ye Yinfeng's voice was muffled.

"It's nothing," she comforted him. "You don't often say that victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs."

Ye Yinfeng didn't respond, but buried a wry smile in the folds of her clothes.

It's not that he has never lost before, and he has lost much worse than this time, but he has never been as depressed as he is now after a failure.Only he himself knows that his sadness is not all because of the loss.

After a long time, he finally let go of Wen Xuan, and a smile appeared on Qingjun's face again: "Seeing you makes me feel much better."

Wen Xuan also smiled: "Go back now?"

Ye Yinfeng shook his head: "Is there anything you want to do, I will accompany you today."

Wen Xuan thought for a while: "The best way for a woman to vent her depression is through shopping. I don't know what a man is like?"

"it's the same."
