Xia Jinhe sat in front of her desk and twirled her pen with mixed feelings. Sometimes she frowned, sometimes she pursed her lips, and sometimes she looked at the White Swan Hotel not far away with her bright eyes.
Xia Jinhe had changed a lot. She used to be an academic girl with long hair and a long dress, but now she had cut her hair short and put on light makeup. She wore big earrings and the necklace Lu Yiwei had given her was still around her neck. She wore a purple chiffon shirt with lotus embroidery, an ancient cyan professional skirt, and a pair of silver sandals, which made her legs look especially slender. Compared to before, she was now an elegant and graceful female gold-collar worker with excellent temperament.
Suddenly, Xia Jinhe stood up, picked up her bag from the table, and quickly walked to the door. Just as she reached the door, she stood there thinking about something, hesitated for a moment, and then turned back absentmindedly. She threw her bag on the table, closed her eyes, bit her lip, and leaned back in her chair. At this moment, she was struggling in her heart. She was eager to see Lu Yiwei, but she was afraid to meet him.
After a while, she stood up shakily, made a cup of coffee, and picked up the phone on the table to call Chen Zhongqi. "Mr. Chen, if you have nothing to do, come over now."
Chen Zhongqi and Xia Jinhe were about the same age. He graduated from the China University of Fashion, and she had picked him out of thousands of people in the talent market. Chen Zhongqi's joining had undoubtedly brought new vitality and vitality to Pansy. He was very capable, especially when it came to expressing himself. He was eloquent, humorous, and had a good voice. His standard Mandarin made people feel comfortable, and he was a first-class negotiator. In addition, he was proficient in English, French, Korean, and Japanese, and had made great contributions to the company's expansion into the international market.
Not only was Chen Zhongqi eloquent, but he was also good-looking. He had the masculinity of a northern man, and the thoughtfulness of a southern man. He was a rare good man.
A good man with all these advantages would naturally be put in an important position by Xia Jinhe. He turned out to be the marketing manager. It didn't take long before Xia Jinhe suggested to the board of directors that he be promoted to the general manager of the company.
The two had a tacit understanding. They carried out the tasks assigned by Xia Jinhe firmly, and the plans finalized in every meeting were well implemented. Once they formed a fixed partner, it would be a pity to lose anyone.
Not long after, Chen Zhongqi walked in carrying some things and placed them on the desk. He said with concern, "You didn't eat dinner again, right? Have some. "
Xia Jinhe glanced at it. It was his favorite roasted donkey meat. Although she had become a superior person, she did not forget that she came from the countryside and had a special fondness for the flavor of her hometown. Especially when he thought of the alluring dough balls, he couldn't help but salivate. However, although Guangzhou was a big city, it was hard to find the crude noodles in his hometown, so he had to use donkey barbecue instead.
Normally, Xia Jinhe would be eager to open it and eat without caring about her image. But today, she had no appetite at all. He picked up the coffee and took a sip before putting it down thoughtfully.
Seeing that Xia Jinhe was absent-minded, Chen Zhongqi said with concern, "Chairman Xia, don't drink coffee at night. It's easy to lose sleep."
Back then, when Xia Jinhe arranged for him to negotiate with Black Mountain County, which was far away on the horizon, it was unbelievable. But when he thought that she was from Xijiang Province, it seemed to make sense. But later on, he found that it was not the case. Every time they talked, she mentioned one person, and that was Lu Yiwei.
Xia Jinhe never mentioned the relationship between them in front of him, but Chen Zhongqi could guess it at once. It also explained the reason why she insisted on investing in Black Mountain County.
After seeing the mature and steady Lu Yiwei, although he was handsome, he inevitably looked a little rustic because he had been living in the mountains for a long time. However, it was such a person that made Xia Jinhe fall head over heels. He had to admit that this person was charming, which made him very envious.
Xia Jinhe used his fingers to brush his hair, dragged the chair to the desk, crossed his hands on the table, and looked up. "How is his side?"
Chen Zhongqi said, "Fortunately, he seemed a little disappointed when he heard that we would not invest, but Mr. Lu's psychological quality is extremely strong, so he did not show it."
"Well." Xia Jinhe said, "Don't go anywhere tomorrow. Just wait in the office. If there is no accident, he will definitely go to you again. You can refuse him at that time, okay? "
"Okay." Chen Zhongqi did not understand the meaning of Xia Jinhe's action, so he suppressed his curiosity and asked, "What if he doesn't come?"
"He won't." Xia Jinhe said firmly, "He will definitely go again."
"Okay, I will wait for him." Chen Zhongqi smiled helplessly and said, "Chairman Xia, since we have already intended to invest in them, why do we have to go around in circles? If we really annoy him and he leaves without saying goodbye, we will lose face when we go back at that time. "
Xia Jinhe did not answer directly, but said, "Just do as I say."
Seeing Xia Jinhe's attitude, Chen Zhongqi did not ask again. He nodded and said, "Okay."
Xia Jinhe continued, "Zhongqi, have you selected the candidate to be sent to Black Mountain County?"
"Yes, let Xiao Tian from the marketing department go."
"Tian Jiajia? Is she suitable? "
"Although Tian Jiajia is a woman, she will absolutely have no problem with her work." Chen Zhongqi said, "In addition, I have talked to several people, but none of them are willing to go. Not to mention that it is too far away, they also feel that the local area is relatively backward. I even raised the annual salary to 200,000 yuan, but none of them were tempted. Tian Jiajia agreed to it. "
"All right then." Xia Jinhe said, "The investment in Black Mountain County this time is to guarantee the raw materials, and also to set up a prelude for the development of the northern market. After the company is established, I want you to keep an eye on it for some time. You are not going to engage in production, but to provide technology to help the local villagers raise silkworms. Think about it, if every household raises silkworms and forms an industry, why do we need to worry about raw materials? In addition, the group will enter the cosmetics market in the second half of the year, extracting protein from silk, which is another source product. Therefore, we must build Black Mountain County into a raw material production base, understand? "
Chen Zhongqi forced a smile and said, "Chairman Xia, I've been to Black Mountain County. It's a rundown factory that will soon close down, and the silkworm rearing technology is very backward. This investment needs to take a big risk. If we're talking about silkworm rearing, the Jiangnan market is much more mature than Black Mountain County. There's no need to build a factory at all. We can just bring the raw materials here for processing and production. "
"Zhong Qi, I'll make it clear again." Xia Jinhe suddenly pulled a long face and said, "The investment in Black Mountain County is the decision of the group's board of directors, not mine alone. If you think it's difficult, I can choose someone else. "
Seeing that Xia Jinhe was unhappy, Chen Zhongqi immediately said, "Chairman Xia, I didn't mean that. Actually, I … OK, I know what to do."
Xia Jinhe said seriously, "Zhong Qi, we've been working together for a long time. You should know my character. Even if this investment has my personal feelings, it's all for the sake of the company. I won't say any more superfluous words. I just want to emphasize that you must keep my news a secret. Do you hear me? "
"OK."
After talking about work, Xia Jinhe's mood fell to the bottom again. She drank the rest of the coffee in one gulp and got up, "Send me home."
After going downstairs, Xia Jinhe stepped into Chen Zhongqi's BMW. She rolled down the window and looked at the White Swan Hotel not far away.
"Zhong Qi, drive around the White Swan Hotel."
This time, Chen Zhongqi didn't ask any questions. He obediently drove the car and turned right into Beijing Road.
When they arrived at the entrance of the White Swan Hotel, Xia Jinhe's heartbeat accelerated. She suddenly sat up and climbed on the window to look into the distance. She wanted to find Lu Yiwei's shadow in the dense window openings. However, there was nothing except for the flashing lights.
Chen Zhongqi knew what Xia Jinhe was thinking about. He deliberately slowed down the car and drove slowly.
The hotel was getting farther and farther away. Xia Jinhe didn't give up her faith. She turned her head and continued to look through the rear window. She didn't turn her head back until the car disappeared into the night.
She leaned against the window. The night wind caressed her melancholy face. The shadows of the street lights flashed across her face. She missed him more and more.
When they arrived at a high-end residential area in Tianhe District, Chen Zhongqi stopped the car and wanted to send Xia Jinhe upstairs, but she refused.
Before going upstairs, Chen Zhongqi suddenly said, "Chairman Xia, if you want to see him, you can go there directly. Why torture yourself like this?"
Xia Jinhe stopped and froze for a few seconds. Then she hurriedly walked forward.
"If you don't want to see him directly, I can create an opportunity for you to see him."
Xia Jinhe stopped again. She thought for a moment and turned her head, "OK. He will go to the company to see you tomorrow. Arrange for him to be in the conference room."
"OK."
Xia Jinhe hurried into the house. She leaned against the door and looked at the ceiling. Then she slowly sat down on the ground. Her tears flowed down like a broken necklace. She finally couldn't control her emotions. She held her head and burst into tears.
After crying for a while, she got up weakly, kicked off her leather shoes, and walked to the sofa barefoot. She picked up the photo on the sofa cabinet, reclined on the sofa, and gently stroked it with her fingers.
The photo was a photo of her and Lu Yiwei. The background was the osmanthus flowers of Beizhou University. Lu Yiwei was smiling very happily, revealing his white teeth. He looked very handsome. She snuggled in his arms like a bird. Their fingers were tightly intertwined. It was so sweet.
It could be said that that was the happiest time of her life. She was carefree and carefree, enjoying Lu Yiwei's love and looking forward to a beautiful future. However, happiness was frozen in that instant, never to appear again.
Was she too selfish? This question had been bothering Xia Jinhe. It was indeed her fault for leaving without saying goodbye. However, what could she do? She could only blame the society for being unfair to her. However, Lu Yiwei was innocent.
She had imagined meeting Lu Yiwei countless times, but she didn't expect it to be on such an occasion. She would see him again tomorrow. Her heart was filled with excitement, guilt, and hesitation.
She was afraid that if she couldn't control herself, she would rush to Lu Yiwei. What would she do then? What would Lu Yiwei's reaction be when he saw her? If he found out that she was the one behind the investment of Pansy Company in Black Mountain County, how would she face him? Everything was unknown. At that moment, she desperately wanted to see the person she loved.
