Chapter 48 Section 3

After returning from Beijing, after finishing the real estate forum sponsored by the company, the Lunar New Year is not far away.Shao Yimin sat in his small office, dealing with tedious administrative affairs before the holiday.She had just been promoted to be the special assistant to the chairman four months ago. She was assigned here from a window seat in the office area of ​​the lobby. It was an eye-catching promotion in Fenghua Group. Of course, no one would be surprised.Xu Huaying came back silently, taking her alone, and everyone could tell that she was a trusted friend. Over the past year or so, Xu Huaying has fought wits with the board of directors and the company's top management.Seeing that the young and inconspicuous assistant didn't come into everyone's sight at first, she didn't make a sound, just arranged the daily schedule of the chairman, the coordination between various branches and departments of the company, various meetings until Office work.

In the beginning, there were naturally some people who relied on their seniority to provoke and make things difficult, but Shao Yimin's attitude seemed humble, but he was reasonable and restrained, and he dealt with each one impeccably.As Xu Huaying regained her foothold in the group, there was almost a major cleansing, no one dared to challenge her authority, and no one dared to underestimate her as an assistant. As usual, the group will arrange a year-end regular meeting and dinner for all employees before the festival. When the situation was not stable last year, Xu Huaying insisted on business as usual.Not to mention that the company is on the right track this year, several branches have achieved good results after adjustments, and of course it is impossible to be sloppy.Shao Yimin discussed the plan with the administrative department, and then showed it to Xu Huaying.Xu Huaying flipped through it hastily: "The form doesn't have to be as rigid as last year, you can arrange the specific procedures. Xiao Shao, you inform the real estate company President Wu and the senior management to meet in the afternoon to re-discuss the project plan in the city center they reported."

The downtown project was Fenghua's biggest investment last year.With Wang Feng's secret support, Xu Huaying fought against all opinions and decided to merge a bankrupt state-owned shopping mall with complicated debts. The real estate forum sponsored and held before was also to build momentum for the launch of this project.The project plan has been revised several times. At present, the real estate company combined with the forum discussion to make it again, but it can be seen that Xu Huaying is not particularly satisfied.The company's top management met and discussed almost every day, but no agreement was reached, and the plan was not finalized until before the Spring Festival.

Shao Yimin was busy working overtime every day, until the New Year's Eve, the company stipulated that the holiday began in the afternoon.At noon, after finishing the work at hand, she habitually picked up the economic newspapers she usually read. When she saw the third page, a striking headline jumped into her eyes: Haotian Department Store entered the central market in a low-key manner. According to the report, the authoritative person of Haotian Department Store, which has always been developing in the coastal areas, confirmed to this newspaper that it will set up an office in a city in the middle of the country, "preparing for the preliminary market development, including the location selection of department stores."At the same time, it pointed out that Haotian Group attaches great importance to the first step of department store expansion in the central region, and Su Zhe, the vice president of the group, will personally preside over this work.

She read it at a glance, put down the newspaper and walked to the window.After returning from Beijing, Su Zhe didn't contact her, and she just thought that this matter is over.Of course, she was not so self-obsessed as to think that Haotian's move would have anything to do with her. In fact, this city is an important city in the central region, and the department store industry has always been highly competitive. If Haotian wants to complete the expansion of the central region, entering this city can be said to be a strategy. Certainly, but Su Zhe's name still made her feel uneasy.

The office building of Fenghua Industrial is a seventeen-story building located in the city center. This is the property of the group. The ten floors below are all rented out as office buildings, and the seven floors above are the company's office space.At this time, Shao Yimin stood on the seventeenth floor and looked out. The weather was gloomy, the tall buildings in front of him were all gray, and the traffic below seemed to be a world away from him.While she was in a trance, the internal phone rang, and she went to answer it, and it was Xu Huaying who called her over. Xu Huaying explained a few things, and then pointed to the same newspaper in front of her: "Have you seen the news?"

Shao Yimin nodded: "I see, it should be a decision made in line with the country's central and western development policy." "I have discussed this issue with Su Jie before. Given his old man's connections in the local area, it is really strange that he would not enter the local market. It’s true. I probably figured it out now, and it’s the general trend. Their experience in developing commercial real estate is worth learning from.” Xu Huaying threw away the newspaper, “Okay, have a good year, Xiao Shao, and go out more when you have time, girl Don’t make work your whole life.”

Shao Yimin smiled and said, "I planned to go out, but I'm on duty on the fourth day of junior high school, so forget it. Mr. Xu will give me annual leave in the second half of the year. I'm going to Canada to visit my grandparents." "Remember to remind me that my boss is not that mean." Xu Huaying also smiled. Currently Wang Feng is still on probation and cannot leave the country. Xu Huaying and his son went to Hainan for vacation.Shao Yimin was relieved to arrange for the driver to take them to the airport.She left the company, took a taxi and prepared to go home directly, and then remembered that she hadn’t bought anything for the New Year, and she couldn’t go to the restaurant to compete with those who had family reunion dinner at night, so she had to go to the supermarket not far from home first. .

The supermarket is crowded with people, and everyone seems to be in a state of pre-holiday shopping excitement, throwing all kinds of goods into the shopping cart.Shao Yimin also bought a lot of food and daily necessities, and planned not to go out unless necessary, and take a good rest.After waiting in line for a long time to pay, after pushing the shopping cart out, she found that it was raining lightly outside. Although it was not far from home, it was obviously unrealistic to walk back like this, so she could only stand under the porch. David Fan was wearing a full set of sportswear and striding over from the parking lot with a ball bag, ready to go to the badminton hall on the basement floor of the supermarket, when he saw Shao Yimin standing under the porch to shelter from the rain.

Both Luo Yin and Shao Yimin feel uncomfortable in their cervical spine after sitting in front of the computer for a long time, and both have slight sleep problems. A year ago, they started to make appointments to play badminton on weekends.Since Luo Yin and Zhang Xin had frequent contacts, first Zhang Xin couldn't stand Luo Yin's words about "a fat man wearing glasses", so he joined the weekend game, and then one day David Fan came uninvited.He has outstanding athletic talent and is a good partner for training, so he naturally got to know Shao Yimin. The two usually meet on the court. In Davidfan's impression, she has always been a woman who wears sportswear with a ponytail and no makeup.Now I saw her wearing a long black lace-up coat, which made her look more slender and slender, with a light beige and coffee scarf around her neck, and a big dark brown leather bag on her shoulders. She was dressed like a standard office worker.She was looking at the distant sky with her hands in her pockets in a daze, the cold wind blowing her hair back, her beautiful face was so peaceful that it was out of tune with the noise next to her.There were quite a few people around her hiding from the rain with big bags and small bags. She saw a taxi stop not far away on the roadside, and at the same time several people would run up to fight for it.Only she stood motionless, in a posture that was almost unnervingly determined.

This appearance made David Fan feel a little indescribably amazed. He called her name, and she came back to her senses. "Hello, don't you need to go back for the New Year?" David Fan laughed and said, "I persuaded the old man and the old lady to go to Hong Kong. This year I am free." He is an only child, and his parents own several restaurants in his hometown. His family background is considered good, but he has always been free. "Are you waiting for someone to pick you up?" "Wait for the rain to stop, or the people to leave." This concise answer made David Fan unconvinced. He picked up the bag on the shopping cart in front of her: "Let's go, I'll take you back first." Shao Yimin was not polite to him either, and followed him to the parking lot and got into his car.David Fan started the car and quickly sent her to the outside of the dormitory building. She got out of the car, opened the back door and picked up the shopping bag, then bent down and said to David Fan: "Thank you, happy new year, goodbye." "Happy New Year, hey, if you have nothing to do, let's play together in two days?" She thought, even though she was going to take a complete rest, she couldn't just lie still all day long: "Okay, you can call me at a fixed time, except for the fourth day of junior high school." David Fan took out her phone and saved her number, and drove away.She carried a big bag and went up to the seventh floor in one breath, and was so tired that she could only collapse on the sofa to catch her breath.The newspaper where Luo Yin worked was closed for the Spring Festival. She had already packed up her things and went back to celebrate the New Year. She was the only one left in the small rental house. Although she liked Luo Yin, she had to admit honestly that she preferred being alone like this. Fenghua Industrial's real estate company has developed well in recent years, and has been focusing on the development of residential buildings. There are certain preferential measures for the company's middle-level and above managers to buy houses.She also seriously thought about the possibility of buying a small house to live alone, but she was a little hesitant when she thought that buying a house meant settling down. She felt that no matter how handy she was at work, she didn't seem to have the desire to settle down in the local area. After Shao Yimin called his grandparents and parents to say hello, he began to relax and rest firmly.The local winter is cold, so she turns on the electric heater, sleeps until she wakes up naturally in the morning, cooks something to eat when she is hungry, reads a book, watches TV, or goes online to chat with the bored Liu Hongyu who is also hatched in the Beijing dormitory A few words. Liu Hongyu told her that a heavy snow had just fallen in Beijing, and he had just received his first offer. Although it was not his ideal school, but after getting one at the bottom, he felt more at ease, and then sent an emoji of looking up to the sky and laughing come over. She also laughed and replied to him: "Calm down, calm down." Liu Hongyu replied: "This offer can only be shown to you, Yi Min. I must pretend to be reserved in front of others, and I am really embarrassed to offer it. Anyway, I can be regarded as a good person who is looking forward to it." "Don't worry, I have confidence in you." "Okay, let's say this, if I get the offer I want most, I will definitely treat you to dinner." Except for going out to play a game at David Fan's invitation, and going to the company for a day's shift, Shao Yimin hardly went anywhere.When Luo Yin and Zhang Xin came in on the afternoon of the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, they saw her turning on the electric heater, wearing jeans and a sports top, watching TV on the sofa.Luo Yin couldn't believe his eyes: "Rare, it's the first time I see you like this." "Well, it feels good to be lazy." Shao Yimin smiled, sat up straight and greeted Zhang Xin. "Let's have hot pot today. My mother brought me a lot of things." Hot pot is easy to make, Luo Yin laid out the items one by one, Shao Yimin took out the red wine, Zhang Xin said that he was short of some vegetables, so he immediately called David Fan and told him to bring them.Sure enough, not long after, David Fan came running, carrying a case of canned beer and some washed and well-packaged vegetables, enoki mushrooms and the like.Luo Yin said happily: "I can't see it, Lao Dai, you are quite IKEA and IKEA, and you can wash vegetables!" David Fan triumphantly said, "You know I'm a talent, you should cherish, value, and take care of me, understand?" Zhang Xin laughed straight: "Zaoxie, you don't know which girl you coaxed to wash it for you, don't worry about it, we are only responsible for eating." A few people just set up a table and plugged in a hot pot in the small restaurant.Shao Yimin's cell phone rang, and she was stunned when she picked it up, she didn't need to search her memory, she also remembered that this was the cell phone number that Su Zhe had started to use in the local area before, and it was not deactivated after taking it to Shenzhen.She threw the mobile phone with this number into the lake, but it is impossible to throw away her always excellent memory and sensitivity to numbers.As soon as I saw such irregular eleven numbers, I remembered them immediately.She hesitated for a moment, then walked to her bedroom to answer. "Hello." "Hello, Yi Min," Su Zhe's voice was still low, "Do you have time tonight? Let's have dinner together, I want to meet you." Shao Yimin was silent for a while, then sighed: "But why bother, the last time we ate together, it didn't seem to be considered happy. Why do we need to make each other unhappy?" "Believe me, it's because I was so surprised to see you. I'm no better than you. I need a little time to digest the surprise. And I think, you won't be happy to see me directly at the company tomorrow. You are now in Where? I'll come pick you up." Of course she would rather stay at home and eat hot pot, but she knows Su Zhe's character that he can't give up until he achieves his goal, and she really doesn't want to see him in the company, so she can only tell him a good parking place nearby. She took a down jacket and put it on, took the key, walked out of the bedroom, and said to a few people apologetically, "I'm sorry, I have to go out for a while, take your time, don't wait for me."
