Chapter 23 chapter 2

Seeing that he wanted to stand up, I immediately occupied the only reclining chair in the room with clumsy and quick movements, and shook the rocking chair to demonstrate to him.He ignored me, put the convenience dishes into plastic bags and sealed them, cleared the table, lit the fireplace next to the lounge chair, poured himself another glass of wine, and drank slowly. It is estimated that the pine wood was burned, so the house was filled with rosin.I don't know if it's because of the rosin, or because my stomach is full and my body is warm, but my mood gradually improves, my limbs stretch lazily, and I look at Lu Licheng while shaking the rocking chair.

Because there was no chair, he sat sideways on the table, with a glass window behind him, the dark night became the most solemn background, and when the fire in the fireplace reached him, it was already faint, only a few dancing lights The light and shadow made his figure erratic, and the shining starlight outside the window reflected his facial features, making him look very gentle. He got up and poured himself another glass of wine. Only then did I see clearly the wine he drank. It was golden in color and cloudy, and I immediately felt greedy in my mouth. I said cheekily, "Where did you get the homemade sorghum wine?" ? Pour some for me too."

He raised his eyebrows, a little surprised, took a glass casually, and poured me a small glass. I buried my nose next to the wine glass, took a deep breath, and took another big sip, "It tastes good." He smiled smugly, with an expression I had never seen before, "My mother brewed it herself, and the sorghum was grown in her own field. It's rare for you to know the goods." I was a little surprised. His clothes and conversation could not tell his origin at all. I sniffed the smell of wine and said, "My dad has an old comrade-in-arms. He was on a business trip to Beijing for a year and bought a jar from the countryside of Shaanxi. The sorghum wine was given to my dad, and my dad only gave me a cup in total, as if he had picked something."

My rocking chair swayed, the wood in the fireplace crackled, and I felt relaxed, so I realized how good this house is. I have never felt so quiet in the city, so quiet that I can even hear the sound of the wind blowing through the roof. "Where are we now?" "In the suburbs of Changping, there is no traffic jam, and it takes more than an hour to enter Beijing." I patted my chest, completely relaxed now, "Is this your little villa?" "You just say yes. This is the first time I have done corporate restructuring and listing, and I bought it with the bonus I got."

I said enviously: "Why are people so different? My current bonus is probably just enough to buy a bathroom." He laughed: "At that time, houses in Beijing were not considered expensive, and these shabby houses in the wilderness were even less valuable. In fact, at that time, I just wanted to find a place where I could stay alone quietly. Later, he was praised for his investment vision for no reason.” He pointed out the window, “There is a fruit forest over there. There are more people who take the flowers than the flowers, and more people who pick the fruit than the fruit on the tree.”

I laughed out loud, and he said melancholy, "So, I only live here in winter now." I poured myself another half glass of wine, and Lu Licheng said flatly, "This wine has a strong aftertaste." I made a face at him, "You are not willing to let me drink, so I want to drink!" As I said that, I added some more to my glass, and in a heartless way, I simply poured a full glass, and then protested to him. He raised his glass and took a sip. Lu Licheng smiled and shook his head.Holding the wine glass, I shook the rocking chair and said, "Okay, you can go to trial if you want! I promise to be honest, and I only hope that you will be lenient."

Lu Licheng stared at me with a smile, with stars dancing in his eyes, was that a narrow smile? "You've been very frank. The matter is handled by Song Yi. From him, I didn't get any information. I'm not sure it's you." My eyes darkened, and I almost lost my breath, Su Man, you are a pig, you are definitely a pig!He sipped his wine, smiling, admiring my emotions.I drank several sips of wine before I gradually regained my composure, and said to myself, "Anyway, you have doubts about me. If I don't admit it, you will find out sooner or later." He suppressed his smile and said seriously: "Thank you!"

This person changed his face so quickly, I couldn't figure it out, I looked at him stupidly, pointed to the tip of my nose and asked, "Are you talking to me?" He stared at me without saying a word, and he didn't seem to intend to answer my nonsense at all.I felt embarrassed when he looked at me, put down my finger, and said embarrassingly: "I said I was protecting myself, not helping you. It is Song Yi who you should thank." He frowned slightly, and a condensed aura gradually gathered on his body.I flinched back and murmured unwillingly, "That's what it is! I didn't say on my resume that I had done an audit, so how dare I show it off? Fortunately, he stretched out his hand generously and refused to take the credit, otherwise You can use this to buy people's hearts..."

He interrupted me impatiently, "What Song Yi needs is the hearts and minds of the New York headquarters. He doesn't care what people who don't matter think. Originally, this incident wouldn't hurt me, but I just don't know what the headquarters is investigating. What, that's why I didn't dare to mess with myself. When Song Yi messed it up, a group of old men in the headquarters praised him for being upright and fair. He had already gotten all the benefits he could get. Leave it to me, not to Mike, ask Mike to explain, force Mike to inform me secretly, and then report to the headquarters..."

Seeing my expression, he stopped suddenly, "Believe it or not, it's up to you! Song Yi's ability to achieve this position in a foreign country is by no means the harmless appearance you see. Why do you think I forced you to do things for me? If If it wasn't for him, would I suddenly have no one under my command?" He took a sip of his wine and looked out the window. I don't know if it's the rosin, or the starlight, or maybe I'm a little drunk. I think the Lu Licheng in front of me is not the Lu Licheng I know. His side face is full of sadness. This kind of expression should not appear on his face anyway. face.

While drinking, he stated lightly, as if talking to the night, "Those travel expenses are indeed not travel expenses, but a business rebate. All the documents have been prepared as early as the beginning of the year, and the money has been transferred long ago. It is only necessary for the people below to go through a formality every month, there are too many things at the end of the year, and mistakes are made during the busy schedule, forgetting that this person left the job in October." I don't know how to comment, so I can only keep silent. He looked at me with a calm expression, "This fee is nothing compared to the profits brought to the company. Mike also agrees with this method of operation, although this method Not recognized by the headquarters. Of course, now the headquarters also realize that a country has its own way of doing business, so each of us has a business card with a special sum of money in it for customer exchanges. In the past two years, this The upper limit of the amount is getting bigger and bigger, and I no longer need to use travel expenses to digest these special expenses." I murmured: "You don't have to explain it to me, I said I won't tell others." He stared at me, a little fire dancing in his dark eyes.He sat on the carpet in front of the rocking chair and looked up at me halfway, "Can you answer me a question honestly?"
