Chapter 38 Section 3

Early the next morning, Song Yifei returned to Beijing. I was in the hotel, writing letters on the bed with my notebook in my arms, and the table was occupied by ninety-nine red roses. "Thank you for the happiest Christmas I've ever had. The first, but hopefully not the last." Twenty hours later, his reply arrived. "After you return to Beijing, let's go skating in Tsinghua Lotus Pond." Reading his letter, I opened another bottle of champagne in the hotel.There is still one week to go back to Beijing, and my heart is full of happiness and anticipation. A week later, the rumbling plane flew over the Pacific Ocean and brought me back to Beijing, where I had always dreamed of.

Although I heard that the company would arrange someone to pick him up from the airport, I never thought that the person who arrived was actually Lu Licheng. Peter and I were dumbfounded, but Lu Licheng remained calm, took the luggage trolley in my hand and walked out. Peter and I followed him on the "Wrangler", and when we stacked up the luggage one by one, I was a little thankful that he came to pick us up, and his car happened to be not a BMW or Audi, but a bit of an alternative Otherwise, Peter and I will each take a taxi. The road from the Beijing airport to the urban area is covered with trees on both sides. The road is spacious and new, which is not the same as the outdated infrastructure in New York.I stared at the friendly scenery outside the window and said in a low voice, "Beijing is better."

Peter snorted to express his disdain, "Take care of the sandstorm and pollution control first, and let's develop for another 20 years!" Just as I was about to retort, Lu Licheng said, "You two are very energetic. You still have half a day to get off work. Do you want to go back to work?" I shut up immediately, and Peter also changed his face, he was as obedient as a bunny, "If the company needs it, we can go back to make a work report immediately." I glared at Peter, but he ignored me and just looked at Lu Licheng inquiringly. "Mike is in Taiwan, and Alex is on a business trip to Singapore. You can tell me something about it now. Finish the work report on the weekend and give it to me on Monday morning."

"Song Yi is going on a business trip to Singapore? When did it happen?" The news was so unexpected that I couldn't help asking in surprise. My abnormal reaction finally made Peter turn his eyes from Lu Licheng to me, but Lu Licheng didn't respond. "I... I mean Alex, I... I had some work I wanted to talk to him about." "During the time he left, I was temporarily in charge. If there is any problem, it is the same as what I said." The joy in my heart dissipated, like a balloon with a hole in it, and it quickly deflated. The exhaustion of flying for more than 20 hours came up, and I leaned on my back and closed my eyes.In my ear, Peter was chattering about the reactions and thoughts of those customers on everything, and I thought to myself, no wonder Song Yi hasn't written to me for several days, it turned out to be too busy.

I had already fallen asleep in a daze, and suddenly remembered something, woke up immediately, sat up and said to Lu Licheng: "Don't take me to the wilderness again!" Peter stared at me with wide eyes, and then at Lu Licheng.I woke up, terribly embarrassed, and my face was hot.Lu Licheng was very calm, and asked lightly: "Did you have a nightmare?" I immediately rolled my ass, "Ah, yes! I dreamed that when I fell asleep, a person took me to the wilderness and pretended to be a ghost to scare me." Peter laughed out loud, "Did you dream about being crazy?"

I couldn't help but pursed my lips and smiled, "Yes! I dreamed of a psychopath." I secretly glanced at Lu Licheng. He was not angry, but he was also smiling with his lips pursed. He was looking at me from the rearview mirror, but I was embarrassed. Laugh again and close your eyes. After taking a nap, I woke up a lot, and Peter was able to say that he never stopped along the way, so I could only close my eyes and rest. Peter arrived home first, and when he got out of the car, I secretly breathed a sigh of relief, my ears were finally free from damage, this noisy frog, in the future he will find a wife who is not talkative.

Lu Licheng looked at me from the rearview mirror with a smile in his eyes, as if he guessed that I was slandering Peter.I suppressed my smile and sat upright. This person can change his face faster than turning the pages of a book, so I have to be careful. When the car arrived downstairs at my house, Lu Licheng helped me carry my luggage, and the security guard greeted me: "Miss Su is back? Didn't your boyfriend pick you up?" Lu Licheng, who was walking in front of me, stopped suddenly. I was flustered and sweet, and almost bumped into him.But before I asked him what was going on, he strode up again, and I could only drag my luggage to follow and talk to the security guard: "I'm back, is my friend here to get the apple?"

"It's here, but I just came here to take it away a few days ago. Fortunately, it's cold, and it's not broken." The security guards here are very friendly to me. They specially sent us to the elevator entrance and blocked the elevator door with their hands so that we could take our luggage in one by one. "thanks!" "no, I'm fine." When the elevator door closed, I glanced at Lu Licheng with a guilty conscience, but then thought: Why am I guilty?I have a boyfriend and it doesn't violate the interests of the company, and he doesn't know that my boyfriend is Song Yi.So the waist straightened immediately.

When I got to the door, I said politely and hypocritically: "Thank you so much, would you like to come in and have a cup of tea?" In my memory, this is definitely a polite phrase commonly used by us Chinese, and it often does not imply an invitation, especially when it is expressed for the first time.Unexpectedly, Lu Licheng actually took it as an invitation. As I walked into the room, I could only find a teapot to boil water to make tea. My house is very small, with a usable area of ​​less than 40 square meters. Excluding the bathroom and open kitchen, there is only one room, a big bed, a big computer desk with a bookshelf, a computer chair, no sofa, and no Chair.There is a length of cashmere carpet in front of the bed, and I bought a few soft cushions and threw them randomly, which can be used as cushions or cushions.

Lu Licheng stood in the middle of the room, looking around, not knowing where to sit.I handed him the mat, pointed to the carpet, and said embarrassedly: "I can only ask you to sit cross-legged on the floor like the ancients." After the water boiled, I used a cherry wood table holder to hold out the tea set and serve the tea.The tea set is a full set of green mouth porcelain with hand-drawn embryos and hand-painted flowers.He was quite surprised to see my tea set.I smiled smugly, saving some of the embarrassment of asking him to sit on the floor just now. While pouring tea for him, I said: "My father likes wine, tea, and cigarettes, but he suffered a serious illness a few years ago, and was ordered by my mother to quit smoking, and he was not allowed to drink alcohol. Now the only thing left is tea, which can be used freely. My tea set was eliminated by him, and it should be used to drink black tea, but I only have scented tea here."

Lu Licheng picked up the teacup with the saucer attached, took two sips and then put it down, praised: "It's very fragrant." I laughed, "Your posture seems to have been taught how to drink tea." He also laughed, "I used to be a client. He is very good at tea. I often accompany him to spend time in teahouses on weekends. I come and go a few times, and I know a little bit about it." I asked curiously: "You also learned tennis to accompany clients?" "yes!" "basketball?" "That's not true, I often go to play in college." I asked curiously: "What else do you learn to accompany clients?" "Have you had enough time?" I marveled and said: "You can tell where a person spends his time. I will never envy other people's success in the future." He smiled wryly, "In our business, what we do all day is either to persuade this client to sell his certain property, or to persuade that client to persuade him to buy a certain property. We joked that we were pimps in private Customers, you don’t have to know a little bit of eighteen kinds of martial arts, so you can serve customers happy.” In the eyes of outsiders, people who do corporate reorganization, mergers and acquisitions in investment banks are gold digging machines. I didn't expect to have such a nickname. I almost laughed out loud.
