Chapter 56 Section 4

Shao Yimin's next work is still very busy. She first accompanied Xu Huaying with the senior management of the real estate company and the person in charge of the real estate development of Haotian to jointly determine the planning plan of the shopping center, investment details, and choose a cooperative bank.Xu Huaying lamented more than once in the company's internal meetings that Fenghua can only learn from Haotian's strength and experience in commercial real estate development. The directional blasting work of the original shopping mall has also been put on the agenda, and Fenghua is fully responsible for this link.

Through bidding, a foreign engineering and blasting company won the project.After preliminarily setting the time, Shao Yimin's task is to go to various relevant departments with this company to handle all the cumbersome procedures required for directional blasting.This afternoon, as soon as she returned to the office, the outside phone on the desk rang, and she picked it up to answer it. "Hello, who is it?" "Miss Shao? Hello, I'm Lin Yueqing, the father of Yueqing Leping." "Hello, Mr. Lin." Shao Yimin was very surprised. She and Lin Yueqing only met twice a few years ago, and they haven't been in touch since then.

"Miss Shao, I'm in this city now, and I want to see what time is convenient for you, and make an appointment to have dinner together." Lin Yueqing said very politely. She thought about it: "Well, Mr. Lin, I have to work overtime tonight. If it's convenient, can we meet at the cafe at Huaxin intersection at 8 o'clock in the evening? I don't need to eat." Lin Yueqing readily agreed.Putting down the phone, Shao Yimin shook her head helplessly. Of course, she knew that Lin Yueqing was looking for her only to talk about Su Zhe.On this topic, she really didn't know what to talk to a third party about.

In the past month, Su Zhe has not appeared many times.The cooperation between Haotian's Chengbei department store and Fenghua is progressing as planned. The Chengnan department store has taken the first step to take care of another local shopping mall with poor efficiency, and has started the pre-management personnel stationing and store upgrading and renovation work.There are special personnel responsible for all the work, and it is carried out in an orderly manner.He still runs between Hong Kong and the local area, but before leaving and after returning, he will definitely call Shao Yimin to explain his whereabouts.His tone was calm and gentle, and she could only respond politely.

When she is busy, it is impossible for her not to miss the weird situation she is facing.But since that night, Su Zhe has kept his promise and kept an appropriate distance from her, but this does not prevent him from reporting his whereabouts in detail like a standard boyfriend; asking her out, even if she refuses He didn't make any trouble, he only asked her to eat on time and go to bed early.Occasionally when we met in the company, his eyes were gentle and his manner was considerate. Almost anyone with eyes could see something different.After Shao Yimin caught a glimpse of Xu Huaying's secretary looking at them with surprised and playful expressions, he could only walk away in a hurry.But Su Zhe didn't do anything to embarrass her other than that, and she could only let it go.

In the evening, Shao Yimin arrived at the cafe on time, reported to Mr. Lin, and a lady led her to a seat in the corner, where Lin Yueqing was already waiting.I haven't seen him for a few years, but he doesn't seem to have changed much, and he is still very shrewd and capable.Seeing her coming, he stood up and greeted her. Shao Yimin asked the waiter to serve a cup of latte, and then looked at Lin Yueqing: "Mr. Lin, are you all right in Yueqing and Leping?" "Thank you for your concern. They are all very good. Yueqing went to the University of California, Berkeley to study architectural design, and Leping studied marine biology at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver," he added, "Yongzhi is now working in a trading company and should do well. Pretty happy."

The two children she taught have already gone to college, she was slightly taken aback, she couldn't help but sigh how time flies. "Mr. Lin is looking for me today, what's the matter?" "Miss Shao, you are very straightforward. You must know that I am here because of Su Zhe." Facing Shao Yimin's calm and clear eyes, Lin Yueqing was a little embarrassed, "You also know that I am his cousin and his mother is me. Auntie, we are very close and have always been very close." Shao Yimin remained silent, and he could only continue talking: "I think Su Zhe may have told you that the relationship between him and his father has never been very good. Four years ago, his mother begged him before he was willing to go back to work. Later, because of certain things , and almost fell out with his father."

"Is his mother all right now?" "Her surgery was successful, and now she is rechecked every year, so she should be fine." "That's good." "I think I've gone too far, but his family's situation is indeed complicated. Let me simply say that in the past few years, Su Zhe has devoted himself to work and done a good job, and the relationship with his father and brother has also been reconciled. At present, he is in charge of Haotian finance, financing and listing affairs. I am afraid that no one in his family can understand why he wants to take the initiative to come here to manage the central part of Haotian Department Store to expand business."

Shao Yimin smiled: "If I understand correctly, Mr. Lin thinks his decision has something to do with me." "It's not what I think, it's what he told me himself." "Really?" She shook her head. "But I can't do anything about his decision. He didn't ask for my opinion before making a decision." "Are you still refusing to forgive him?" Lin Yueqing asked suddenly, Shao Yimin looked up at him suddenly, and he also stared at her without hesitation, "Yes, I know you have been in love, and I know the reason why you broke up."

"I don't know what Su Zhe said to you, Mr. Lin. In short, it was all in the past. I told him at that time that I forgive him, but there is nothing else but forgiveness. " "Miss Shao, I would like to ask, is there no possibility of redemption? Even if Su Zhe has endured unimaginable pressure for you, traveling around Hong Kong, Shenzhen and the local area, he refuses to explain his current situation to his father. I just want to stay here a little longer and wait for you to turn back." Shao Yimin was silent for a while: "If you want me to feel guilty, then well, I do feel guilty, although the sacrifices or efforts he made were not what I asked for, nor what I wanted."

"What Su Zhe wants is not your sense of guilt. If he knew that I came to you with many things, he might turn against me." Lin Yueqing sighed, "Even I don't know why I asked you to talk about these things, It's obvious that you are determined. If he can't impress you, how can I, an irrelevant outsider, be able to influence you. But if this drags on, I'm afraid he will argue with his father again, and my aunt may be caught in the middle again. Dilemma." "Mr. Lin, I'm in a dilemma. I don't know what to say. I think I've made it clear to Su Zhe as much as possible, and there's nothing ambiguous about it." "I'm not putting the problems that Su Zhe has to face in front of you to embarrass you. He is an adult and knows what he is doing. He should understand your personality far better than me. If he knows that it is impossible He is successful and willing to spend his time here, indeed he should bear all the consequences himself. However, I still have to ask more questions, do you think you are being too harsh on him? " Shao Yimin thought for a while before saying, "Mr. Lin, I don't want to be rude, but I would like to take the liberty to ask, did Sister Sun forgive you before filing for divorce?" Lin Yueqing's face darkened: "What does this mean?" "I guess Sister Sun must have forgiven, and more than once. Because before she left, she recalled to me that she was very tender and reluctant, not to mention that you have two lovely children, and the bond that maintains your relationship is far stronger than mine. Such a fragile love with Su Zhe. But needless to say, Sister Sun's forgiveness is nothing to you, otherwise you would not have reached the point of divorce. " "Are you telling me that all men are not worthy of forgiveness?" "I'm just saying that if the foundation of trust no longer exists, forgiveness doesn't mean much. I forgave a long time ago, but I can't trust anymore. Just now Mr. Lin talked about Sister Sun's recent situation. I guess you are married after the divorce. Getting along well is also for the same reason, because she no longer asks you according to the standard of a lover, so naturally everything can be tolerated." Lin Yueqing's expression softened: "I am indeed a very bad example, which can almost prove that your theory is impeccable. But it is unfair to him to deduce Su Zhe like this. He is different from me. He has been very strict in self-discipline in recent years. , I almost never see him drink too much again, let alone go to a sensual place, almost all of his time is spent on work, otherwise, my uncle would not be able to entrust him with such an important job as going public." Shao Yimin lowered her eyes and looked at the coffee cup in front of her. She didn't know what to say, and she didn't want to continue arguing like this. "Does the fact that he loves you make no difference to you?" She raised her eyes and looked at him in surprise, and he could only sigh. "Yes, he loves you. He has been to Vancouver with me. For two consecutive years, he went to the universities there alone one by one. Even Yueqing Leping knew that he was looking for you. In the past few years, he often took advantage of the rest When I come back and stay for two days before leaving, it may not be because I like the local climate." Shao Yimin pursed her lips tightly and remained silent. "I asked him why he couldn't let you go so much. Guess what he said?" Of course, Lin Yueqing didn't expect Shao Yimin to guess, but continued with some regret, "He laughed and said he couldn't help himself, he didn't chosen." Shao Yimin's heart was beating heavily, so he could only lower his eyes and continue to remain silent.Lin Yueqing saw that her interest was fading, and shook his head secretly, knowing that with his persuasive power, it was impossible to persuade her to change her mind. She only hoped that these words would make her a little bit tempted, and that would be her goal. After sitting for a while, Shao Yimin politely said goodbye, and declined Lin Yueqing to send her off: "I will drive by myself, Mr. Lin, goodbye." Shao Yimin left the cafe and drove home. As usual, he parked the car in a nearby parking lot, carried his laptop bag and walked back to his rented dormitory.In the weather in late April, the temperature is not too low, and the warm wind blows people a little strange sense of slack. She walks slowly and feels tired for no reason. At the same time, she realizes that she often feels this way recently. Of course, she has been too busy recently, working overtime every day, and never resting on weekends, and she doesn't even have time to play badminton, but she never takes the pressure of work seriously.At this moment, I can only admit that maybe the indescribable anxiety in my heart has finally affected my body. When Su Zhe was in the local area, he approached her unobtrusively, his focused eyes and gentle voice made her unable to remain indifferent.He was on a business trip, but his influence was still there. Even if Lin Yueqing hadn't talked to her, it was impossible for her to ignore him at all. And Lin Yueqing's conversation tonight caused ripples in her heart. Originally, her plan was to finish her work in the company during this time, and plan to go abroad to visit her grandparents in the second half of the year, and at the same time give herself a good vacation. Now she suddenly longs to start the vacation earlier and leave this mess.She was a little funny and a little helpless to think of such an escape. On the seventh floor, just as she took out the key, the phone rang, and she answered while opening the door: "Hello." "It's me, Yi Min." Su Zhe's voice came from the phone, "Are you off work?" "Already home." When she entered the door, she was surprised to find that Su Zhe's voice was also heard in the room. Following the sound, Luo Yin was leaning on the sofa and watching an economic program broadcast by a local TV station. It was Su Zhe who was being interviewed and talking eloquently. The positioning of the Chengnan store of Haotian Department Store, which is about to open: "...will take a young and fashionable route, and form a misplaced competition with other local department stores." She couldn't help laughing: "Your interview is being shown on TV." "The employees of the company said that I looked too serious on TV and did not conform to the fashion line of the department store." Su Zhe also laughed. Shao Yimin looked at the screen. Indeed, he spoke in a deep and gentle voice, but there was no smile on his face. He was cold. Then he looked at the host sitting opposite him and said, "The interviewer is Li Sibi, my alumni." "Yes, she mentioned you to me during the interview last week. Why do you get off work so late recently? Mr. Xu is very good at employing people." "We're almost done, directional blasting scheduled for this Thursday night to demolish the old mall." "I just want to tell you that I will go to the scene when I return from the plane the night after tomorrow. If I can't make it back, you must pay attention to safety." "There is a professional blasting company in charge. It's fine. I'm just going to greet the live media. Actually," Shao Yimin hesitated and said, "You don't have to run around like this, you're too tired, why don't you concentrate on staying in Hong Kong and finish the work you need to do?" "I know what's more important to me, don't worry about me." "Okay, good night." "Good night." She answered the phone, and Luo Yin said a little shyly, "I didn't expect Li Sibi to switch to an economic program." At this time, it happened that Li Sibi was smiling at the camera on the TV: "Thank you very much, Mr. Su and all the guests who are here today. This is the end of today's program. Goodbye, audience friends." Shao Yimin smiled, didn't care, and went to take a bath in his pajamas.She and Li Sibi have always had a normal relationship, so naturally they don't care about her show.This was almost the first time that she and Su Zhe had such a long conversation on the phone. She could only admit that Lin Yueqing's words made her feel more than a little guilty, even though she felt that the guilt came out of nowhere. Luo Yin finished writing the manuscript and came out to watch TV to pass the time before going to bed. He took the remote control and flicked it, and accidentally saw this talk show.She sighed while watching, looking at Li Sibi, who is so charming and charming, with sharp eyes, but strangely looks a little dull when she is on camera, and there is no spark in the interaction with the guests. No wonder the development of the TV station in the past few years has not been very satisfactory. .Su Zhe, who was sitting among several guests, was wearing a light blue shirt and a dark blue suit. Shao Yimin. Just at this moment, Shao Yimin entered the room, and as soon as she answered the phone, it was Su Zhe who was being interviewed on TV.She thought a little embarrassedly, fortunately, Shao Yimin has always completely ignored other people's thoughts and behaviors, otherwise it would be difficult for her to explain clearly. After Shao Yimin got out of the shower, he sat on another sofa and opened his notebook.During this period of time, she was so busy surfing the Internet that she only sent and received emails, and when she encountered Liu Hongyu online, she could only have a few quick conversations.At this time, there was an email from Liu Hongyu lying in the mailbox, and she felt even more guilty. When she clicked on the email, she thought that if she continued to worry like this, even the holiday would not be able to solve the problem. His email was very simple, just asking her if she had any arrangements during May Day, and he planned to come and see her.She stared at the display screen for a long time, remembering that she was planning to go to Shenzhen to visit Su Zhe at about the same time three years ago, and this association made her feel extremely bitter. She made a decision right away, and responded to him in the chaos of her thoughts: "You are busy with your graduation project, so you don't need to come here. I'll wait until the work at hand is finished, and if I'm sure there's nothing else to do during the long vacation in two days, I'll buy a ticket to go to Beijing." After closing the notebook, she was a little dazed, whether it was a decision or another kind of escape, she didn't know.But she knew how disturbed she was, and it was no longer a problem that could be solved by drinking some red wine before going to bed.
