Chapter 46 Section 1

Business trips have become an important part of Shao Yimin's daily work.Luo Yin was very envious of her traveling to many places in just two years, but she didn't think business trips were a good thing. After going to various airports, she lost the freshness of the first time. In the middle of winter, she accompanied Xu Huaying to a department in Beijing to invite officials to a real estate development forum sponsored by the group, and at the same time talked about the contract renewal of a certain clothing brand represented by Shenghua. Xu Huaying and Mr. Zhang, the general agent in China, have a very close friendship. Basically, they are just going through the motions of reminiscing about the past. As usual, they have dinner together at night. Mr. Zhang sent a driver to pick them up at their hotel to pick them up to the club.As soon as he entered the private room, Shao Yimin was stunned. In addition to Mr. Zhang, Mrs. Zhang and a vice president of his company, there was another handsome man in a gray and white striped shirt sitting next to him. It was Su Zhe who hadn't seen him for almost three years.Su Zhe happened to look up and saw her, his face darkened, his deep eyes were full of disbelief, obviously the sense of surprise was much stronger than hers.

Mr. Zhang was about to introduce them, but Su Zhe had already stood up and shook hands with Xu Huaying: "Hello, Mr. Xu." "It turns out that you know each other, that's great." Xu Huaying said with a smile: "Xiao Su's brother Su Jie and I are classmates studying EMBA and from the same hometown. We cooperated two years ago, and we also met Xiao Su in Hong Kong." Su Zhe turned to Shao Yimin: "Hello, Yimin." "Hello, Mr. Su." Xu Huaying was surprised: "Xiao Su recognizes my assistant!" "Yes, we have known each other for a long time, but we haven't seen each other for a long time, what a coincidence today." Su Zhe regained his composure, opened the chair for them, and asked them to sit down politely.

"Xiao Shao is very capable. I have always wanted to dig Mr. Xu's wall, but Xiao Shao has never been tempted by me." Shao Yimin smiled slightly: "Mr. Zhang was joking." She and Mr. Zhang have met several times, and Mr. Zhang really appreciates her very much.But on this occasion, she maintained her usual attitude of listening and not interrupting casually, and of course she would not respond to a joke.What Xu Huaying has always been satisfied with is that she is calm and rational enough to handle things appropriately. Su Zhe took a deep look at her, and then looked away.

As usual, the topic of the meeting was inseparable from the business experience. Mr. Zhang has strong strength, representing many foreign luxury brands, and has cooperated a lot with Haotian Department Store under the Su family.Although Xu Huaying's business is currently limited to the province, she has always had good opinions, and naturally the few people have a lot to talk about. After eating, Shao Yimin went out to answer the phone. It was her middle school classmate Liu Hongyu who called.The two have been in frequent online contact in recent years, and every time she comes to Beijing on business, she will make an appointment with him to have a meal or find a place to sit.

She asked about the location, made an appointment with him, hung up the phone, and when she turned around, she saw Su Zhe.Caught off guard, she clenched her phone and took a step back. "I don't need to ask Mr. Xu for your phone number, do I?" He stared at her for a while before opening his mouth. For a moment, Su Zhe saw Shao Yimin's lips pursed, thinking that she would refuse directly as before.But she just took out the business card holder from her purse, pulled out a business card, and handed it to him with both hands in a dignified manner. This impeccable polite gesture made him smile wryly.

This is a luxuriously decorated clubhouse, the corridors are covered with thick dark red carpets, and the lights on the walls on both sides are soft.The passing waiters were wearing long black dresses, and when they saw customers, they would turn slightly sideways and walk past politely without turning their eyes. Su Zhe looked at the business card in his hand, and then at Yi Min in front of him.She looked both strange and familiar. Her formerly smooth straight hair was cut short to just below her shoulders and curled into a slightly curly style. She set off her face with light makeup and delicate eyebrows. She was wearing a small beige gray velvet suit with a strip of color on her shoulders. The jumping silk scarf lost any trace of a student's atmosphere, the only thing that remained unchanged was the pair of bright and deep eyes, which were looking directly at him calmly and without evasion.

"So, you didn't go to Canada to study. Is it because you don't have enough money?" "It's not about the money, it's just that the work is done more smoothly." Shao Yimin said briefly, bowed slightly, and planned to go back to the private room, but Su Zhe didn't mean to get out of the way. "How long have you been Mr. Xu's assistant?" "After graduation, I will work for Mr. Xu." He frowned: "You don't seem surprised at all when you see me." "I met your brother when I accompanied Mr. Xu on a business trip to Shenzhen. You were on a business trip to Hong Kong at that time. After all, Haotian and Fenghua have cooperated. I think it will be a matter of time before we meet."

Su Zhe's face was tense, and after a while, he pulled out a smile, which was the familiar look of Shao Yimin before. The smile floated on his face, but his eyes were cold: "I was right before." , you are prepared for any kind of accident, so don't let me go to the side of the accident you are not prepared for." Shao Yimin didn't know where his sudden anger came from, so he said helplessly: "No matter how much you avoid it, chance encounters are probably inevitable. President Su, if you don't mind, I'll go in first." She passed by Su Zhe, Su Zhe grabbed her arm, but before she could say anything, he let go of his hand again, and said in a hoarse voice, "That's right, it was just a coincidence."

Su Zhe walked to a sunken corner of the corridor and sat down on the small sofa, took out the cigarette case, took out a cigarette and lit it, and watched Shao Yimin walk into the private room.Although she is not wearing the jeans and sneakers she used to wear at the moment, but a suit and 5cm stilettos, she still maintains the habit of striding forward and never looking back.He sat there, watching the smoke slowly rise and spread before his eyes, and he didn't go in until one cigarette was exhausted. After dinner, Mrs. Zhang invited Xu Huaying and Shao Yimin to relax in the beauty center of the clubhouse.

Shao Yimin smiled and thanked: "Mrs. Zhang, I made an appointment with my classmate to meet later, thank you." Mrs. Zhang said with a smile: "After all, it's a girl. No matter how hard the day ends, she doesn't look tired and out of shape. It's not like us. You have to tidy up before you can see anyone." Xu Huaying also smiled: "Let her move freely, every business trip with me is like fighting a war." Mr. Zhang said to Su Zhe: "Xiao Su, come to the bar on the third floor and have a seat. I have some friends coming over later." Su Zhe had regained his composure, and said with a smile, "Mr. Zhang, I'm a little tired today, and I'm going back to Shenzhen tomorrow, so I'd better go to the hotel to rest early."

"Well, I won't see you off tomorrow, anyway, I'm going to Hong Kong in two days, and I have time to get together again." Mr. Zhang turned to Yi Min, "Xiao Shao, it's a bit out of the way here, I'll ask the driver to see you off. " Before she could speak, Su Zhe said, "I'll drop off Miss Shao on the way." She couldn't refuse, she could only nod her head in thanks.After bidding farewell to everyone, the two walked out of the clubhouse together, and the cold wind outside was blowing.Su Zhe put on the suit first, then took the black tie coat from her hand, put it on for her, and brushed her hair out of the coat collar, his fingers inadvertently brushed the back of her neck.She blinked slightly, said "thank you", adjusted the collar herself, and followed him to the parking lot. Su Zhe has been in Beijing for several days and has been driving an Audi of the Beijing branch.After getting in the car, he drove without saying a word, so she had no choice but to take the initiative to say: "Please Mr. Su, I'm going to Sanlitun South Street. If it's not convenient, just put me where I can stop the car." "Your polite gesture is really well done." Su Zhe looked ahead and said slowly while driving, "I didn't expect you to think so badly of me. You think I will throw you in Beijing On the streets in winter? Even if I get angry with you again, even if I send you to date another man." She smiled wryly: "It's all about getting together for a meal, and at the end of the meal, everyone will go their own way. Angry at me? Where do you start?" Su Zhe didn't say anything anymore, and just concentrated on driving. The street lights outside the car window passed over his face one by one, and his happiness and anger could not be seen between the changes of light and dark.Shao Yimin also looked sideways out of the window. It was already past nine o'clock, and there was still a lot of traffic on the wide road, but at least there was no annoying traffic jam during peak hours. Sanlitun Bar Street is not allowed to drive, so Su Zhe can only park his car at the nearest roadside.Shao Yimin unbuckled his seat belt, stretched his hand towards the car door, and was about to say goodbye when Su Zhe spoke first. "You disappeared so completely from my life. I threw away my mobile phone and never answered my emails. If I just disappeared, it might be possible to go my own way." The dim yellow street light illuminated the lower part of his face, and he grinned whitely. His teeth gleamed slightly, "But now, we have met again." Shao Yimin frowned, but didn't want to say anything more to him: "Thank you for sending me off, goodbye, Mr. Su." She got out of the car, closed the door behind her back, wrapped her coat tightly, and strode into South Street.
