Chapter 11 Chapter Ten Marriage Does Not Create a Sense of Security

Arriving at the company within seconds, Xiao Lan had already followed up with her things when she walked into the office, "Boss, the others are already waiting in the conference room, shall we start now?" "Start now, I'll be right over." Qian Duoduo kept walking, took the file and flipped through it, and nodded to Xiaolan. When Qian Duoduo walked into the conference room, both sides of the long table were already full. She walked to the first seat by herself and sat down. She just opened the folder door and was pushed open again. Everyone's eyes turned together. It was Xu Fei who pushed the door, and smiled at everyone. His eyes swept over Qian Duoduo who was sitting at the top, and the smile became a little bigger. The huge conference room felt like the sun was shining.

I talked with him on the phone before, and I was mentally prepared. I was not surprised by the amount of money. I sat on the spot and smiled back. I was about to speak when someone came in from behind the door that was suddenly pushed open. Everyone smiled politely. There was no sound in the conference room, but Qian Duoduo could still clearly hear everyone's inhaling sounds one after another. The smile on her face was still there. She reacted quickly and nodded at Keiko with a smile, then stood up and stretched out her hand to invite them to sit down. . After they sat down, Xu Fei smiled at her, "Dona, I want to say a few words first, and take a moment of your time, is that okay?"

"Of course, you talk first." Qian Duoduo sat down and moved the chair out of the way. Xu Fei didn't say much, just a few words, but Qian Duoduo could see clearly from the side, and the eyes of the female staff began to ripple again, watery almost seeping out of their eye sockets. I wanted to hand them tissues again, but Qian Duoduo was helpless. Power is an aphrodisiac, and it is universally applicable. This huge company is like a small country. The youngest director of the marketing department is already irresistible. Now he has become the youngest deputy general manager , alas, what should I do?

No matter, Qian Duoduo got up immediately after he finished speaking and proceeded with the next meeting as usual. Keiko was sitting next to Xu Fei, listening carefully, and whispered to him from time to time. Others looked very different, especially Elizabeth and Ren Zhiqiang. Questions, discussions, conclusions, this meeting is as usual, but Qian Duoduo can guarantee that there will be countless rumors of different versions in the company the next day, I just hope that her role in those versions is a little more beautiful, and don't be rumored to be a failure in the upper ranks The vixen, or to exaggerate it a little bit, is directly passed on as the party who can't do lesbians and was abandoned.

No matter what everyone's thoughts were, the meeting seemed to be coming to an end smoothly, and someone knocked on the door again. It was Zheng Jiang who came in. He apologized to everyone first, and then walked to Xu Fei and bowed his head and said a few words. He clearly saw his brow wrinkled, and then turned his face to her. Eyes meet him for a moment, feeling that he is staring at her, not knowing what happened, Qian Duoduo's heart shudders. But he immediately smiled and stood up before speaking, "Dona, there is an emergency meeting, I have to go first, you go ahead."

Beside Keiko was asking Zhengjiang what happened in a low voice?At this time, he also stood up. Although he didn't speak, he still nodded and smiled at Qian Duoduo. Why is everyone so polite?Qian Duoduo suddenly maladapted. He was busy with work, the project had just started, everything was in a mess, and there was no time to guess what happened. Qian Duoduo temporarily put this episode in the meeting behind him for the next time, and immersed himself in work. Before leaving get off work, I received a call from Yiyi, with a weary voice. Originally, there were still some things at hand, but she felt that she was not in the right mood, so Qian Duoduo temporarily put everything down and left work on time for the appointment.

The driver waited in the garage and asked him to take him to the subway station. Qian Duoduo took the subway according to his old habits. It was already dark when she got out of the car, Qian Duoduo was holding a heavy computer bag, and the crowd around her was bustling with noise. When she faintly heard the phone ringing, she freed one hand to fumble for the phone in the bag. This site is a newly built hub in the West District. Several lines intersect, and it is also in the central business district. The road in front of it is open, and there are row upon row of commercial buildings on both sides. The surroundings are very lively.

Sure enough, it was her cell phone ringing, she took it out and put it to her ear, Xu Fei's voice complained slightly, "Duoduo, why don't you answer my call?" "Catch the subway, I have a dinner appointment with my friends, are you off work?" "Off work? I'm still in a meeting." He seemed to sigh, but soon laughed again, "How do I take the subway? Where can I eat? I'll pick you up after the meeting." "That's so embarrassing, but I have to trouble Vice President Xu." When she spoke, she was standing at the subway entrance, on the edge of the street, with a wide street in front of her, with a steady stream of vehicles, the most common street scene in Shanghai, but at this moment she felt that everything was beautiful, and replied Sometimes he smiled slightly, and the corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously.

"Please trouble me, Director Qian." He hung up the phone with a smile. Feeling very happy, Qian Duoduo put down his phone and still kept that smile.Turning around and walking towards the subway entrance, I saw a car slowly pull over on the side of the street, and a young woman jumped down from the door, and slammed the door hard. She was not a person with excess curiosity, but the car stopped behind her, and the door was knocked hard, she stopped instinctively and looked back. It was this one glance that made her smile freeze, and she stopped moving. It was a nice car, the back doors were opened one by one, a man stepped down and grabbed the young woman by the arm.She struggled, but he didn't let go, and the two of them were pulled together on the street.

The man was no longer young, frowning, with a familiar profile, no matter how blurred her vision was, she immediately recognized it as Niu Zhensheng. And the young woman's long hair was disheveled, and her exposed face had a three-point resemblance to hers. Qian Duoduo stood beside them, and her facial features clearly flashed in front of her eyes. That face suddenly overlapped with a blurred photo in memory, Qian Duoduo Duoduo took a deep breath, his heart sank, and then he turned up all upset. In bustling transportation hubs and commercial centers, spectators form a small circle in the blink of an eye, and there is a growing trend. Qian Duoduo was originally standing within three feet of them, but suddenly there are people in front of him. I can't see clearly.

She didn't want to see clearly, and she didn't want Niu Zhensheng to see her. She tried her best to move her feet back, and finally struggled out of the crowd, turned around and walked away. When she got off the subway, she felt as if the stairs seemed endless in front of her. She couldn't help but run, holding the cold iron railing with her hands. The smooth metal surface that thousands of people caressed every day, unexpectedly It made her feel a little sting. Along the way, the images of those two entangled with each other were all in my mind. It was not the first time I saw them both appearing at the same time. This image was connected with a vague glimpse of Hong Kong, and any fool would know what happened.What was even more frightening was that she had seen that young woman's face before, not only in Hong Kong, but now that she thought about it, she had seen her before, in Ye Mingshen's carriage, in the photo he handed over with a smile. what to do?I ran into my friend's husband twice entangled with other women, and that woman seemed to be the ex-girlfriend of the perfect man she just gave up. I felt a huge intricate net suddenly opened in front of me, criss-crossing and clueless. Qian Duoduo suddenly felt a headache Cracking. what to do?Do you want to tell Yiyi?But the most unflattering thing is this kind of role. It's up to you if the husband and wife don't get along. If the two parents-in-law let go of their suspicions in the end, seeing her again will be a thorn in my heart. Maybe I won't even be able to be friends. So keep silent?Just pretend you haven't seen anything?Anyway, in the chaos just now, Niu Zhensheng didn't meet her eyes at all, and she ran so fast that he didn't know it. But just let Yi Yimeng live in the dark?If Niu Zhensheng suddenly decided one day that he no longer needed this marriage, would she just watch her best friend being killed by surprise, and become a second wife without any preparation? Unable to figure out what to do next, Qian Duoduo finally groaned in his heart, and buried his face in his palm feebly. For the first time in her life, she was reluctant to make an appointment with a girlfriend, but no matter how unwilling she was, the subway took her to her destination quickly. It was already dinner time, and they made an appointment at the Thai restaurant MMK on the third floor of the commercial building. When going upstairs, Qian Duoduo's footsteps were heavy, and he could hardly even go up the escalator. The entrance of the restaurant is decorated with tropical plants, and the reception lady in traditional Thai costumes came up to take the seats with a smile. As usual, Yiyi arrived early. Seeing her waving from afar, her face was smiling, and her complexion was fine, not like what she heard on the phone before. Come on like that. Still fighting in his head, Qian Duoduo forced himself to smile when he sat down. "Duoduo, what's the news recently?" Yiyi was looking down at the menu, not the first time, Yiyi ordered quickly, did not hear Qian Duoduo's answer, closed the menu and looked at her again, "Duoduo?" "Ah?" There was a small stage in the restaurant, and three or two Thai girls were dancing. Their fingertips were long and flickered under the changing light. Qian Duoduo was in a trance, and her answer was half a beat behind. Yiyi smiled, "What's the matter, is it tiring to be a director? I can't even hear you talking." "No, what am I thinking about eating?" Qian Duoduo forced a smile, the lady was delivering the menu, she reached out to take it, and lowered her head to hide her gaffe by flipping through the pages. They ate curry crab roe stew, stir-fried kale, and Maoxiang chicken rolls. MMK cooks authentic Thai dishes. These dishes were originally Qian Duoduo's favorite dishes, but this time she didn't know how to eat them, but she was happy to talk about them. It looked very thick, and he talked to her while spooning the golden curry sauce, "A lot, a few days ago, Steve's classmate from the management course had a party, and I went too. Guess who I met?" "Who?" Qian Duoduo answered simply, because he kept his head down all the time, so what he saw in front of him were the movements of Yiyi's hands. In her bowl is the white and long strip of Thai silk rice, on which the light blue spoon carries the golden sauce, and then it is stirred slowly, the curry aroma is strong. Yiyi is a person who is used to being idle all the year round, all her movements are lazy, her fingers are slender, she is beautiful and delicious, even if she has a meal, it is enjoyable to watch, unlike her, she always eats like she is taking time, just look at it Qian Duoduo is distracted again, can this kind of Yiyi withstand the blow? Yiyi's voice sounded again, "Who else is there, Ye Mingshen." "Ah? How did you meet him?" Hearing Ye Mingshen's name, Qian Duoduo came back to his senses, with a puzzled tone. "He is a professor, Professor Ye." Yiyi emphasized her tone, and then sighed, "Duoduo, he talked about you with me." "Is there?" Feeling like a parrot today, Qian Duoduo uttered two more words. "He asked you how you are. Well, I don't think Ye Mingshen really has anything to criticize. It's a pity to give up such a man." Speaking of Ye Mingshen, Qian Duoduo only thought of that blurry photo.The girl with long hair is facing the wind by the sea, and her facial features are vaguely similar to hers. She couldn't bear it any longer, and she asked, "We just got together a few days ago, so Steve is still in Shanghai, why don't you accompany him today?" "Leaving this morning, I said I was going to Nanjing for a meeting. Besides, even in Shanghai, I didn't get home until midnight, how could I see him at this point?" Yiyi spoke in a very light tone, without stopping the spoon in her hand. After hesitating for a while, Qian Duoduo continued to ask, "Aren't you worried?" "Worried?" Yiyi looked up, "What are you worried about?" Unable to answer, Qian Duoduo was speechless. On the contrary, Yiyi looked at her and laughed, "What? Do you think I'm worrying like this?" "Yiyi." Qian Duoduo said seriously, "I'm not kidding, I want to know, if there is a problem in the marriage, how will you solve it?" "Marriage problems? Are you saying that there is a problem with the relationship between the two?" She turned her head to look at Qian Duoduo, "Duoduo, I said that there are many aspects to maintaining a marriage. I have been married to Steve for so many years, and the relationship has faded." That's normal too." "Then it really turns marriage into a tomb of love? If the relationship fades, it must be redeemed." Unexpectedly, Yiyi talked about this topic in such a flat tone, and Qian Duoduo frowned slightly. "We have feelings." Yiyi smiled and continued, "If there is no love, there is family affection." "But in this case, what if..." Qian Duoduo hesitated to speak. "What if?" Yiyi put down the spoon, looked into Qian Duoduo's eyes and said, "You mean what should I do if he wants to abandon me, right?" Yiyi's eyes are big, and her double eyelids are deep. At this moment, when she looks directly at her under the light, black and white are distinct, as if she has insight into everything, and Duoduo feels shocked. "No." After a glance, Yiyi lowered her head and continued to lift the spoon. When she continued to speak, because there was something in her mouth, the next voice was a little blurred, "Steve's company is so big, and I didn't sign a contract with him before we got married. Property notarization, if you really want to separate from me, how will the common property be divided? He is already busy with business matters, why is the man thinking of asking for trouble?" With a chill in his heart, Qian Duoduo couldn't talk anymore. Before she had time to speak, the phone on her table rang again, the screen flickered, and Xu Fei's voice was next to her ear. "Duoduo, I'm already on my way, about half an hour away." Confused, Qian Duoduo just said "hmm", and Yiyi looked at her mouthing, "Who?" Qian Duoduo covered the phone and answered in a low voice, "It's Xu Fei, he will come to pick me up later." Hearing Xu Fei's name, Yiyi cheered up, folded her hands together and said, "So good? Then go quickly." "No hurry, he's on the way, there's still a while." Qian Duoduo hurriedly ended the call, put down his phone and continued to eat, but the food didn't taste good, and he didn't know what he swallowed after eating for a long time. On the contrary, Yiyi was very interested, and asked her many things about Xu Fei, but she couldn't hold her back, so Qian Duoduo had no choice but to recruit. Yiyi's eyes sparkled when she heard it, and she exclaimed softly from time to time, her mood was much higher than that of her client. This meal cost a lot of money and was in a trance. When the last two people said goodbye, they walked to the intersection together. There was a harbor-style parking spot at the side door of the commercial building, taxis, and private cars that picked people up. Xu Fei's car hadn't arrived Arrived, but Yiyi's car was already waiting there. The driver saw them from a distance and got out of the car to pull the door. It is a long luxury car with a bright and eye-catching body. When Yiyi walked by, everyone around her cast envious eyes intentionally or unintentionally. Qian Duoduo walked behind her One step away, those eyes can see clearly, but it feels bad, I just feel that my steps are getting heavier and heavier. When approaching the front of the car, Yiyi suddenly looked back at her, "Duoduo, you are so strange today, do you have something to say to me?" His heart skipped a beat, but Qian Duoduo shook his head, "It's my own problem. I'm annoyed. I've been pushed hard by my mother recently. I'm always thinking about what marriage is." Having already walked to the side of the car, Yiyi held the car door and smiled calmly at her, "Duoduo, in fact, marriage is not the end but the starting point. Once you have marriage, you don't have to worry about it anymore? Wrong, that is also a place that requires you to work hard, no more than the workplace How much easier." They have been close friends for so many years, of course they would talk about such topics in the past, but Qian Duoduo has never been in the siege, and they always talk about it through a layer of veil, and Yiyi seldom speaks so bluntly.This time, her tone was calm, but her content was cold, which made Qian Duoduo feel chills all over her body. Before he could answer, another car turned around the corner of the street and approached him. It was Xu Fei, who parked behind Yiyi's car. He opened the door and said to Qian Duoduo, "Duoduo, I'm here." After speaking, he turned his eyes to Yiyi , nodded and smiled, "This is your friend?" "This is Yiyi, my best friend, Yiyi, this is Kenny." Qian Duoduo opened his mouth to introduce, and the two of them got to know each other briefly. Yiyi had already returned to her usual appearance. She smiled when she was speaking, and winked at Qian Duoduo before leaving, with a distinct mouth shape, "Great! Enjoy it." enjoy?I didn't expect her to be so straightforward on the street, Qian Duoduo was too embarrassed to look at Xu Fei. Yiyi finally left, Qian Duoduo turned around and sat in the car, the passenger seat was comfortable and spacious, feeling exhausted from the day, she collapsed on the seat and remained motionless. "What's the matter? Tired?" He stretched out his hand to pull the seat belt for her. "Come with me to eat something? I haven't eaten anything yet." "Okay." She answered simply. Her body was leaning in front of her, and their cheeks were close to each other. She readily agreed, but her tired face was clearly seen in her eyes.Qian Duoduo was always full of energy, it was rare to see her look so powerless, and she didn't know what happened. In fact, he also encountered a lot of troubles suddenly this day, but when he saw such a lot of money, he felt pity instinctively, and couldn't help reaching out to brush her long hair that fell on her shoulders, and his voice softened, "If you are very tired Forget it, I'll take you home." The feeling of guarding the door just now was still there, but he couldn't help but soften his heart because of the sound and movement. Qian Duoduo sat up a little more and urged softly: "It's okay, I'm fine, drive quickly, we can't stop here for a long time." Xu Fei was very busy, and he answered a few calls while driving. The wireless headset had never been unplugged, and Qian Duoduo didn't want to talk. He sat on the side and kept silent. Yiyi's previous words still echoed in her ears. feeling depressed. For so many years, although she didn't want to admit it, when she was knocked down by setbacks and despaired of loneliness, deep down in her heart, she envied her good friend. Yiyi has a clear goal since she was a child, and married a wealthy man. These years, she has never worried about her livelihood, and has never experienced blood and blood in the workplace. Sometimes the two of them walk in front of the mirror together, and they always feel more comfortable than her. , his whole face is full of vicissitudes. But just now when she talked about marriage in front of her, her voice was indifferent, and she said that it is also a place that requires hard work, and it is no easier than the workplace. So what exactly is marriage?She is not an immature girl anymore, and she has long disbelieved in the fairy tale about the prince and princess living together happily ever after, but deep down in her heart is a fantasy that marriage is the last safe haven, where she can temporarily escape the turmoil of the world and breathe peacefully Take a moment, then turn to continue to work hard with vigor. It's just a safe haven. She didn't expect it to be Yosemite, where flowers bloom like brocade. As long as the seasons are peaceful, as long as she can feel at ease for a moment, it's just this request, which is illusory. If marriage can't bring you a sense of security and peace of mind, if you have to face risks and fights in the future, you also need to work hard on your own, and what's more terrible, if that is where all the greatest harm may originate, then what else does she have? What to look forward to? Suddenly disheartened, the man next to her was still on the phone, at this time she glanced sideways at her, then turned back and continued to stare straight ahead. But the left shoulder warmed and sank, and it was he who freed up a hand, passed through her hair, and gently shook her shoulder. Feeling that such consolation is extravagant, Qian Duoduo sighed and leaned on his shoulder After getting in the car, Yiyi stared out of the window alone in the back seat. This road is located in the city center, and it is bustling and crowded at night. There are red lights at several intersections, and there are vehicles of various colors in the front, back, left, and right sides. Someone in the taxi next to her stared sharply at her direction, then patted the shoulder of a friend next to her and raised her finger, speaking emphatically. Looking at all this through the car film, she knew that people looked down on her and were mostly just discussing this car, but she still felt impatient, and looked down to see her hands on the handbag, tightly clasped, the shadow The middle ring still gleamed. Shrinking her hands and clenching her fists, she thought for a while and went to the phone to call her husband.Small Footprint Parent-child Forum S It took only five seconds for the first call to be made, and the content was "I'm talking about something very important." It was cut off almost instantly. In fact, she was already used to this kind of situation, but this time she didn't know why she felt depressed, and after a minute of stunned, she grabbed it and called again, and the only mechanical female voice on the other end said repeatedly, "I'm sorry, the phone you dialed has been turned off. Sorry, the phone you dialed is off." Such a monotonous and emotionless voice was already numb, but it actually made her feel pain tonight, as if her eardrum had been cut. Not wanting to call anymore, she threw the phone on the seat beside her and continued to look out the window. It was almost home, Yiyi was silent in the back seat all the way, the electric door of the garage was slowly raised, she still remained silent.The driver felt strange, and looked back at her in front of the driver's seat while waiting, "Madam, are you tired today? Let's go to rest early." She seemed to wake up suddenly, looked up at him, then nodded, and reached out to push the door. The garage door had already been raised, and the driver was about to step on the gas pedal, but was startled by her movement in the rearview mirror, he slammed on the brakes and yelled, "Be careful!" She stopped the movement of her hands and said "oh", without turning her head, her face was covered by her drooping hair, and she couldn't see her expression clearly. After a few seconds, she suddenly bent the corners of her mouth and smiled. It was obviously a smile, but it made the driver feel cold all over. He didn't dare to say another word. He quickly drove the car into the garage, got out of the car and opened the door for her. Xu Fei drove very fast and his destination was clear.It's not the first time they've eaten together. They don't like to be lively and prefer quiet family-style restaurants. They often go to a small Taiwanese restaurant just downstairs from his apartment.At this time, the car had already turned into the quiet street in front of the community, and the familiar restaurant was just around the corner. Xu Fei lives in a hotel-style service apartment. The upper floors and the bottom two podiums are full of restaurants from various countries. The lights are fully on at night, and the glass walls are unobstructed, making it crystal clear from a distance. The security guards in the community knew them. Before the car drove up to the distance, they raised the isolation fence, stood on the side to salute, and smiled at him, "Mr. Xu, hello." He has answered all the phone calls in various languages, and he is still speaking English. At this time, he said sorry to the other end of the phone, then turned his head and smiled, looked at the security guard before answering, " Hello." When he got out of the car, he finally ended the call. Qian Duoduo heard it all the way. Although he was worried and only a few words passed by his ears, he still felt something was wrong, so he stood by the car and asked, "What's wrong? Is it a project?" What went wrong?" - "Sit down and we'll talk." He locked the door, looked back at her as he walked, smiled comfortingly at her expression, and then opened his palm to her. The lights in the neighborhood were soft, and the surrounding trees were full of shade. His fingers were long and beautiful. After holding her, they tightened immediately, very vigorously. With such a firm and firm grip, Qian Duoduo was momentarily in a trance, delusional that all anxiety and hesitation could be transferred away, and the bridge of her nose suddenly became sore. The pleasure at this moment seemed to be a sin, and she felt contradictory. She lowered her head and was silent again. The dinner time has passed, and there are not many people in the restaurant. The boss is a middle-aged couple from Taiwan. They are sitting at the table near the door chatting at this time, seeing regular customers smiling. On the way here, Xu Fei had already ordered something. The boss had a lot to talk about with him. He stood up and started to tell him about his new fancy car. His hand was still in his palm, and Qian Duoduo stood by and listened. Stepping on inch-high heels all day, she felt tired after standing up for a while, and changed her feet to relieve fatigue. He looked at her sideways, and then pointed to the seat where they were used to sitting, "Duo, go and sit, I'll sit right away." Come." The waiter had already delivered the meal, and Qian Duoduo only wanted a cup of milk tea. When the proprietress came to greet him, her eyes were obviously envious. She also smiled, and turned to look at him again. He was chatting with the boss, the two of them laughed, the corners of their eyes were bent, the man seemed to feel her gaze at this time, and then he looked sideways and blinked far away. Unable to bear it, Qian Duoduo, who was holding the milk tea, also laughed out loud. While laughing, he felt that this man has magical powers. Wherever he is, any space will be happy. After the joke was over, Xu Fei came over to take a seat. It was obvious that he was very hungry. He raised his chopsticks and started to eat without raising his head. "What's wrong? Trouble?" Qian Duoduo continued to ask. He put down his chopsticks and looked at her as she spoke, "The letter of intent for the acquisition has been reported to the relevant government departments, and Hetian has dealt with them in the initial stage before, so it should not be a big problem, but there were rumors yesterday that M&C intends to join the bid for Hetian, although it is only There are rumors, but the top management in Hotan is a little shaken." "M&C?" Qian Duoduo was taken aback after hearing this. He restrained his smile and frowned slightly. It was rare to see his expression like this. Qian Duoduo was startled, and suddenly realized how much M&C cares for her, and was surprised by their quick response. She frowned, "M&C recently I am very interested in domestic benign capital, but Hotan is an industrial enterprise with rigid demand, so I didn't expect them to want to get involved. "It's not surprising. Recently, an investment company came to China to find an investment direction. After our intention to acquire Hotan, its stock price rose rapidly. It is normal for people to notice it. This is not puzzling, but I saw It is really difficult to understand M&C's recent financial reports and investment flows." "What?" In the marketing department, I was used to working with him on the forum, but since he left, the two of us were always busy separately, and it had been a long time since we had such an opportunity. Qian Duoduo picked up the milk tea quilt very quickly. "Recently, a large amount of money has been buying shares in M&C. Several of its investment projects in Asia also cooperate with the same fund. I checked the background of that fund. Yamada Group also has a share, and it is still very large." "Yamada? You mean Keiko Yamada's father? Isn't he the major shareholder of UVL Asia?" What he said was not complicated, but he couldn't understand it. Qian Duoduo was puzzled. "It may be a coincidence. The Yamada Group is very large, and it is not controlled by Keiko's father. He started to cooperate with the company when UVL first entered Asia, and the Asian board of directors is also considered a veteran." Qian Duoduo pondered for a while before slowly opening his mouth, "Yamada's funds cooperate with M&C, and Keiko Yamada participated in the acquisition project. Now M&C has announced to participate in the bidding. Do you think there is a problem with this coincidence?" Xu Fei smiled lightly, "His cost under UVL is even greater. There are no permanent friends or permanent enemies in the market. All these are data on the table, and as long as you have a little heart, you can find it. If Yamada really has the heart to put Together with the company, there is no need to make it so bright, right?" Qian Duoduo shook his head, "You can still laugh, even if Yamada has nothing to do with this matter, it is a fact that Hetian wavered, what if this plan is shelved?" "How can there be any reason why such a big acquisition is easy? We have approached Hotan Duofang before, and the reserve price has almost been negotiated. What's more, I asked Zhang Qian to check some data recently, and I need to wait for the results. Hotan took the initiative to delay the time. That's fine too." Zhang Qian knew about it, and she was doing bioengineering at the research institute, but wasn't they talking about the acquisition of Hetian?Why did Zhang Qian get involved again, the more he listened, the more he didn't understand, Qian Duoduo opened his mouth and wanted to ask again. He stopped his chopsticks and looked at her leisurely at this moment, his mouth was already open, but Qian Duoduo realized that these matters already involved commercial secrets, and she was not directly in charge, so asking too many questions was not a good idea, Thinking of this, she immediately shut her mouth and remained silent. "Kailos has just arrived in the Asian region, and Hotan is shaken at this critical moment, you—" After the milk tea was almost finished, Qian Duoduo spoke again, holding the cup to add. In fact, what she wants to say is that if something goes wrong, Kailos has just arrived in China, and the foundation is not stable. The most difficult thing to do in foreign capital is a non-foreign high-ranking official like him, mediating between overseas bosses and domestic complicated situations, both sides are not happy. I feel that the situation Xu Fei is facing now is very troublesome. Qian Duoduo frowned. . "Duo Duo, are you worried about me?" He had already finished eating, so he grinned after hearing this, grabbed her hand and kissed her. This man dressed formally in the company every day, and among a group of middle-aged senior executives in their forties and fifties, he pretended to be mature and prudent, but in private, especially in front of her, he showed his childish appearance from time to time, making her dumbfounded in public. There were not many people in the restaurant, but Qian Duoduo still felt ashamed and struggled to withdraw his hand, but the man's ten fingers were strong and firmly grasped, no matter how hard she struggled, she was pulled over by him in the end, the back of his hand warmed up, it was him Gently brushing her lips, she lowered her head and stared at her with a smile in her eyes. Alas, the emperor is not in a hurry and the eunuch is in a hurry, why is she bothering. But her heart softened, and she was very sweet, unable to speak, and she blushed like a little girl with a lot of money in her suit. It was already late at night when they walked out of the restaurant, and the community was very quiet. They walked side by side to the building, and Qian Duoduo opened his mouth and yawned again as he wanted to say something. Already at the side of the car, he grabbed her and said with a sigh, "Duoduo, are you tired from running around? Or move here, I have a big place here." I wanted to laugh, but Qian Duoduo said with a straight face, "Vice President Xu, pay attention to your image." "I know, just be careful." He sighed again. There was no one on the driveway in the neighborhood, and the car lights were shining brightly, shining far away. He drove slowly, and then turned to look at her, feeling a little reluctant. Qian Duoduo turned his head to the side to talk, when suddenly a car drove towards him. As soon as the cars entered and exited, they got closer when they crossed. When she glanced over, her eyes widened, full of disbelief, and she couldn't help but look back again. "What's the matter?" Xu Fei asked when he turned the direction. "It's nothing." Qian Duoduo suddenly sat upright and looked ahead, with his hands intertwined on his knees, and the answer was only three words. The style of that car was exactly the same as the one I saw at the subway entrance before. The window film was very dark, and the passengers in it could not be seen clearly, but she was impressed after all, and all the previous troubles were brought back by this glance. . Talk to myself in my heart, no, this kind of car is not the only one in the world, it must be a coincidence, if this is the case?She might as well go buy a lottery! But after all, he was uncomfortable, and his mind was in a mess. On the way back, Qian Duoduo frowned and looked ahead, full of thoughts. He glanced at her and said, "Duoduo, things will be resolved in the same way, the project is just starting now, so don't worry too much When approaching her home, the tuition fee phone rang again, and the time displayed on the dashboard was almost 11 o'clock. These capitalists are too ignorant of the people's feelings, right?Qian Duoduo raised an eyebrow. Xu Fei looked at the number, then answered, "Keiko, what's the matter so late?" After talking for a long time, he answered simply, "Well, I'm not home yet, I'll check it out when I get back." "Morning? I'm going to exercise in the morning. Let's talk about it in the company. You should go to bed earlier." After a few words, he hung up the phone. Qian Duoduo listened quietly, but at this moment he smiled, and the corners of his mouth curled up, "You are so dedicated, I know you are busy, and I am willing to have a breakfast date." The car had already been transferred to Qian Duo's apartment complex. When Xu Fei parked the car, he still looked sideways at her with a smile in his eyes, "Duo Duo, I know you're busy, how about a breakfast date?" "Aren't you going to exercise?" It's not jealousy, it's just that I don't want to leave, and I enjoy sitting and chatting a few words. "Let's go together." "I'm lazy and can't get out of bed." "I'll help you." His smile widened, and he kissed her with a tilt of his head. After all, it is a restricted class, lest he seal it up and drive the car directly back to the apartment, Qian Duoduo fled out of the car with a smile, but turned back to look at him as soon as his toes landed, and stopped smiling this time, "Kenny, Keiko Yamada... " He smiled, reached out and pressed her cheek again, "Don't worry." Before entering the corridor, she looked back habitually, Xu Fei's car was still in place, the windows were all down, he didn't get out of the car, and he didn't try to hold on to it reluctantly, just sat in the driver's seat and watched quietly. Looking at her, his eyes never moved away. It wasn't the first time he was sent home, nor was it the first time he turned his head and saw the man who saw him off, but this time Qian Duoduo didn't dare to look any further.Knowing that he wouldn't leave unless she disappeared, she turned around and continued walking.When I went upstairs, my heart was beating strangely, as if it was wrapped in something, and it couldn't fall to the ground, and I felt a fluttering tingling feeling. It's not the first time she's been in love, she knows why, but this time it's different, joy is filled with fear, she's afraid she won't be able to keep it. Scorning her own thoughts, she took long steps on the last few flights of stairs, running up two steps. After opening the door, the room was pitch black. Knowing that Mom and Dad should have gone to bed, Qian Duoduo closed the door lightly. Walking in by the light of the small lamp in the foyer, when passing the sofa, I suddenly saw a stack of books on the coffee table, the light yellow book cover imitating thread, the title of the book is framed in black ink on a white background, it is very conspicuous in the shadow . Originally, he didn't care about these things, but Qian Duoduo glanced at the two words on the cover and felt that something was wrong. He lowered his head and stooped to take it, wanting to take a closer look. There was a sudden "pop" in the darkness, and the hall was brightly lit. Qian Duoduo was taken aback. When he looked up, he saw his mother standing at the door of the bedroom with her fingers still on the light, and her eyes were piercing. Being shocked, not knowing what mistake he made again, Qian Duoduo instinctively lowered his head to check what went wrong with him. 手里还拿着书，灯光下那两个墨字清楚分明，一低头就在眼前，大大的两个字——《明史》。 明白了，钱多多抬起头的时候满脸黑线条。 回过神来以后钱多多涎着脸笑，试图蒙混过关，“妈，这么晚了你还没睡啊。” “自己的女儿天天半夜三更才回家，做妈的怎么睡？”钱妈妈根本不领情，走过来一屁股坐到沙发上，“今天小叶来过了。” “人家也没提你，就说来拜访你爸的，还把书送过来了，那孩子多好啊，我说你这个孩子怎么这么挑啊，这样的对象你也不要，你到底想找什么样的？” “我对他没那种感觉嘛，妈妈，强扭的瓜不甜。”钱多多开始撒娇。 完全不吃那一套，钱妈妈回答的时候也皱着眉头，“我看人家对你就挺上心的，哪里强扭了，之前你们不是约会得挺好。” “什么上心啊，他明明是来看老爸的，他们倒是一处就成了忘年交，不容易啊。” “别打马虎眼，我说你到底结不结婚？眼看快三十的人了。”钱妈妈气不打一处来，说话的口气满是怒其不争。 听到这个数字钱多多也不爽了，一句话脱口而出，“过了三十怎么了？过了三十没嫁人就不是人了？” 心里的话倒是说出来了，但是说完就知道不好，果然，钱妈妈勃然大怒，说话前一拍沙发扶手，“多多，你给我坐下。” 知道这是妈妈对他开始长篇大论的典型开场白，钱多多当场颓了。 不出所料，当天晚上钱多多被洗了足足一个多小时的脑，钱妈妈从她三岁时不听话在公园走失一直说道她过了三十之后在婚姻市场上将会是多么的凄凉惨淡，而且大有不将她一生说完不罢休的趋势。 再也不敢多说一个字，钱多多唯有硬撑着乖顺状洗耳恭听，到后来实在撑不住了，坐着都是头一点一点的。 到后来还是钱爸爸看不过去，过来12点以后走到客厅找老伴，说话前先咳嗽，“别说了，睡吧，孩子明天还要上班。” 钱妈妈正说到气头上，突然被打断一转头就没好气的回了一句，“你也来说几句，整天就会在房里待着看书，看书！女儿都丢给我一个人操心，难不成她是我一个人生的！” “结婚是大事，多多都几岁了，你这个当妈的也不能逼着她随便找个人不是？”时间实在是太晚了，屋外万籁俱寂，屋里却搞得跟批斗会一样，心疼女儿，钱爸爸皱眉补了一句。 钱妈妈几十年来在家里权威惯了，从来没被自己的老伴这么反驳过，又是气头上，被这句话一顶，霍地站起来指着钱爸爸就开腔，“你也知道多多几岁了？眼看就要三十了！你知道不知道现在的行情？？一个女孩子过来三十还没有结婚，还跟老人住在一起，人家会怎么看？前几年还老是盯着我问要给她介绍对象的老姐妹现在看到我都不开口了，等她三十一过，你看着，到时候指不定人家背后怎么说！” 一个人听训已经麻木了，钱多多之前只把妈妈的话当成催眠曲，但是这一嗓子真的把她惊醒，一抬头看到爸爸叹气的表情，心里猛一酸。 一直以来，她都不认为自己的人生有什么缺憾，妈妈的催逼虽然一年胜过一年，但到底是自己母亲，她总是抱着一种撒娇依赖的心态，听着答应着，但是现在家里的气氛竟然因为她的年龄到达这样的临界点，从妈妈嘴里吐出来的话字字伤人，她始料未及，也根本无法接受。 生活实在憋不住了，钱多多也站起来说话，“不过就是没结婚，又不是做了见不得人的事情，有什么好怕的，管人家怎么说。” “你不管我要管，亲戚们都来问了，到底什么时候能喝上你的喜酒？你叫我以后怎么跟人家说？谁家的女儿到了年龄不成个家？难不成你还一辈子在我们身边待下去！” “那我搬出去好了，免得别人拿这个说闲话，行了吧？”听不下去了，从小到大乖乖牌的钱多多，做了生平第一次的叛逆行为，当着自己妈妈的面拿起包掉头就走，关门的时候手劲大了点，“砰”的好大一声。 下楼的时候她脚步重，手里抓着电话直接拨给了那个罪魁祸首。那头很快就被接了起来，虽然已经是午夜，但叶明申的声音很清醒，背景很安静，耳里还听到隐约的音乐声。 好得很，这男人莫名其妙跑到她家里来勾起她妈妈的满腔怒火，害她全家一夜无眠，自己却得闲得暇地待在家里欣赏音乐，气不打一处来，钱多多开始深呼吸。 其实是很想劈头问一句，你到底想干吗？但是冲动是魔鬼，刚才这句话已经在家里很好地得到了验证，她最后还是努力压抑了一下情绪，镇定了一秒钟才开口。 “今天你来过我家了？” “是啊，上次跟钱伯父说好要带一套明史给他，今天正好有时间，来之前想给你电话，不过是你助理接的，说你一直在开会，我就直接去了。”他答得很自然，好像这样的午夜通话是再正常不过的事情。 这人象一潭深不见底的水，再大的火下去都被灭了个无影无踪，被弄得没脾气了，钱多多心里叹气。 机场一别，他们俩一直没有再联系，这次的事情严格说来她也没资格发脾气，有什么好说的？说他跑来触动了她妈妈的导火索？说因为他的出现导致她半夜三更离家出走？ 算来，说到底是自己家的问题，她跟他置什么气？ “是我不好意思，多谢了。“ “不用，多多，你最近好吗？” “我很好，谢谢关心，你呢？” “也还好，对了，明天有时间吗？我有个朋友刚回上海，很想认识你。”他说话的声音微微笑。 “你的朋友想认识我？”原本垂头丧气，听完这句话钱多多眉毛都弓起来了，一肚子疑惑。 他笑，“别误会，还记不记得有此碰见我朋友大李？他把你错认成另一个人？” “我记得。”脑子里模糊的影像一闪而过，她不由自主补了一句，“你说青青吗？” “是啊。她刚搬家，又开生日派对，说让我邀请你一起来。” “邀请我？为什么？”搞不清状况，钱多多声音迷茫。 “哦，她听大李说起你，有点好奇吧。” “可是我跟你现在已经……”话说了一半又后悔，钱多多没接下去，倒是叶明申笑了，“朋友也不是了吗？” 她没那么小气，但是她对任何陌生人的派对兴趣都不大，想开口拒绝，但昨天在地铁口的匆匆一瞥仍旧在眼前晃动，她对那个跟自己有些相似的女子心中始终梗着一根刺，觉得那个青青身上迷雾笼罩，考虑了几秒钟，钱多多最后竟然点了头。 “好，那我明天再给你电话。”他很干脆地与她道别，然后两个人各自收了线。 这个电话不过三言两语。讲完钱多多刚走到大门口，下一步迈出去有点迟疑，她立定脚步回头看了一眼黑乎乎的楼道。 电话又响，接起来是爸爸的声音，“多多，这么晚了还跟你妈赌什么气？快回来睡吧，你妈已经进房去了，她也就是嘴巴厉害，老了老了跟孩子似的。” 刚才一时激愤，现在一个电话打完，又被冷风一吹，钱多多早就清醒了，这时一听到爸爸的声音就开始觉得抱歉，抓着电话先说了声对不起。 “好了好了，你又没做错什么。”钱爸爸又叹了口气。 “爸爸，我没事，就想在楼下走一走，一会就回家，你也快睡吧，别担心了。” “好，那你早点回来，我给你门口留着灯。”知道女儿心情糟糕，钱爸爸也不再多说，讲完断了线。 收起电话之后钱多多又在原地驻足立了一会，楼前石阶被扫得干净，月光下白色一层光。站久了觉得累，她索性独自在楼前坐了下来。 妈妈的话还在耳边回荡——你知道不知道现在的行情？一个女孩子过来三十还没结婚，还跟老人住在一起，人家会怎么看？ What do you think?她是残了还是傻了？不过就是大龄未婚，怎么就这么天理难容了？ 已经是初夏，夜里虽然有了凉意，但风里并没有寒意袭人的感觉，只是她心里冷得彻骨，突然很想听听许飞的声音，电话还握在手里，手指在那些光润的数字上反复摸索，简单的一个拨出键，半天都没有按下去。 Say what?难道她劈头就对他说，我快三十了，没时间多谈恋爱，你爱我吗？爱我就跟我结婚。 结婚！结婚不是水到渠成的事情吗？这根本就是逼婚吧！这样的话叫她怎么说得出口？更何况她根本不认为他们已经有了共度一生的默契和准备，一切才刚刚开始，要求一个27岁正准备大展宏图的男人突然进入家庭生活，这简直是天方夜谭。 她不能说，也不敢说，她很享受这份感情，不想因为这几句话就失去他，就算是冒一点点险也不愿意。 愣愣望着在眼前延伸的那几条台阶，手指不知不觉忘回退，手机的屏幕亮了又暗下去，很好的声音传出来将她惊醒：“多多？喂？多多？” 这才意识到自己竟无意间把电话拨出去了，钱多多把电话放到耳边轻声答他，“嗯，是我，你还没睡？” “在改点东西，还有一些材料要看，你怎么还没睡？今天不是很累了？” “睡不着。”不想他知道之前的一连串的挣扎，钱多多回答的声音很低。 他安静了一秒，然后是推开椅子的声音，落地窗拉开的声音。 手机里最后传来的夜风的声音和她身边的重叠在一起，眼前仿佛看到他站在阳台上的样子，突然很想走到他身边，钱多多心中又是一叹。 “睡不着我给你讲笑话吧。”那头突然冒出这样的一句话来，还来不及回答，耳边已经听到他自顾自说下去，“你听好啊，笑话是这样的。家用电器讲笑话比赛。电视机说笑话，烤箱说好冷啊。洗衣机说笑话，烤箱说好冷啊，电饭煲上台的时候很紧张，还没说完烤箱又说话——冰箱，干吗在我后头开着门吹气。” 这不是他第一次对自己讲笑话，仍旧是很长的一段，一开始不太流利，说着说着就顺了。 她上一次听完就笑，但这次听着听着那种酸麻的感觉又来了，她竟然不争气的红了眼。 “喂，你有没有在听？”说了半天都没有回应，许飞在那头抗议。 “在听啦。”钱多多坐在冰凉的石阶上笑了，回了一句，“好冷啊。” “烤箱，你这样会引起公愤的。” “电饭煲，你笑话还没有讲完啊！” 说完他们两个一起笑起来，他最后压下声音，“那么冷你还想听下去？好了，快睡吧，小心被笑话冻着，着凉。” “好。”她也应了一声，然后放低声音，补了两个字，“谢谢。” 他这次顿了一下才回答，声音温柔，“不用，我爱你。” 原以为自己会失眠，但是这天晚上钱多多躺下后睡得很好，梦里有许多家用电气喋喋不休，但她竟不觉烦扰，只觉享受。 想起了还有一句话刚才忘记是，但是没关系，下次听完笑话她一定说。 谢谢，我也爱你。
