Chapter 59 B-1

In October of that year, the weather in Shanghai had already begun to turn cold. Sang Li stood downstairs at the headquarters of Shanghai Zhongyue. Looking up, he saw the towering roof of the building. Under the refraction of the sun, it seemed to be so brilliant that it was distorted. She held her breath in the midst of traffic: this city full of tall buildings, the streets with cars coming and going, the backs of these men and women in bright clothes... It's just an hour and a half away from the plane. Such a city tells you that people and people Life can also be qualitatively different!

There is no doubt that this is a city with a fast pace of life, but full of passion and vitality.No wonder there are so many people, even if they are wandering all the way, they are willing to come to such a city to seek gold... "Hey," someone behind her suddenly patted her, she turned her head and saw Shen Jie looking at her strangely, "Go in, why are you in a daze?" Sang Li lowered his eyes, honestly picked up his small luggage and walked to the door.But before she could take a step, the luggage bag in her hand had already been picked up. She looked up and saw Shen Jie handing the small bag in her hand to a man in a black suit with an attentive expression.

At that moment, she was a little surprised: she seemed to have never seen Shen Jie with such a serious expression, full of majesty and arrogance. She couldn't help but slow down a little, and consciously walked two steps behind him.He also looked back at her, but didn't say anything, and still walked quickly towards the elevator in front.Along the way, she saw so many men and women in professional attire with impeccable temperament standing at attention, bending slightly, and saying "Mr. Shen" to him. And he just nodded slightly in greeting. It seems that Sang Li has never been so respectful to the man walking in front of him as he is at this moment.

He has always emphasized that he regards Sang Li as his younger sister, so does that mean that he is a "brother" that she can recognize? If so, why does she always feel that this is just an excuse and a gimmick? If not, why did she still follow what he said and follow the path he pointed out time and time again? She was confused, in this completely strange but extremely attractive city, in this towering high-rise building, until she stepped into the elevator, she still didn't give herself a clear answer. Shen Jie's office in Zhongyue headquarters is neat and simple: desks, bookcases, filing cabinets, sofas, the only thing that looks warmer is a set of glass tables and chairs near the window, shining in the afternoon sun.There was a crystal vase on the small round table, with a red rose inserted in it, Sang Li stared straight at it.

Shen Jie closed the office door, turned around and saw Sang Li staring at the flowers, couldn't help laughing: "I don't know they still have the habit of arranging flowers, you can take them if you like." Sang Li came back to his senses and gave him an annoyed look: "It's not unusual! Superficial!" shallow?Shen Jie wondered: What is superficial?Superficial roses?Or is he superficial? Sang Li quickly gave him the answer: "An old man's office has roses..." She made a vomiting expression, then quickly turned her head away from him, and started to visit his office with her hands behind her back.

Shen Jie was furious again. old man? Just as he was about to explode, someone knocked on the door, Shen Jie suppressed his anger and said "Come in", and saw Guo Baiwei, the chairman's special assistant, push the door in.This is also a young and good-looking guy, wearing a dark suit, holding a stack of folders in his hand, he stepped forward and put them on his desk, and explained one by one: "This is the document that the chairman asked you to sign. The faxed contract, this is..." Shen Jie nodded "hmm", and chatted with Guo Baiwei while flipping through the pages.Sang Li watched curiously from the side, and the more he watched, the more interesting he became: Shen Jie, who worked hard, turned out to be very meticulous!

While Shen Jie was talking, he felt Sang Li's interesting gaze. He took the time to look up at her, and immediately saw her covering her mouth and giggling.However, it was the meeting of eyes at this moment that was quickly included in Guo Baiwei's field of vision - he seemed to have suddenly realized something, and turned his head to look carefully at Sang Li, paused, and said to Shen Jie: "Mr. Shen, the chairman asks you tomorrow. Who will you take as your girlfriend at the dinner party?" Shen Jie was stunned for a moment, and looked at Guo Baiwei seriously: "When will he even take care of this kind of thing?"

Guo Baiwei smiled: "You have also seen the letter of appointment, right? It has been posted in our building for more than ten days. It is estimated that the chairman wants to use this anniversary to announce to the world that your private visit on Weibo should be over." In terms of origin, Shen Jie is Guo Baiwei's two-year senior in the same university. Apart from official business, the two have a close personal relationship.Shen Jie didn't shy away from him, and rubbed his temples with a headache: "I've only been there for a year and a half, why is he so relieved to hand over power?"

"I'm afraid the problem is not in handing over power," Guo Bowei said with deep meaning, "G City is still too far away after all, and the chairman is too old..." Shen Jie sighed deeply. After Guo Bowei left, seeing Sang Li still sitting on the chair by the window watching the scenery, Shen Jie called the secretary at the door to come in and confessed: "Two cups of coffee." The secretary was brought back from Zhongyue, City G. She was a shrewd and capable woman. She nodded and left without asking any further questions. Shen Jie walked to the window and looked down at Sangli's line of sight: on the bustling street, with the change of traffic lights, pedestrians are like diverted water, rushing past and rushing back.

Sang Li looked up and looked at Shen Jie with a smile: "I thought the general manager's office would be very solemn and dignified, but these two chairs are very cute." Shen Jie also smiled, sat down, and tapped on the tempered glass table in front of him: "It's also my first time entering this office." "Huh?" Sang Li was surprised. "As soon as I graduated, my father threw me into Zhongyue's resort in Shenzhen. I started as a guest room manager, and worked my way up to resort manager and Zhongyue Hotel manager... For seven years, few people knew that my father was the director of Zhongyue. Chief," he seemed to be leaning back in the chair a little tiredly, looking at Sang Li with a smile, "but now he wants to hand over power, and I'm coming back, so they arranged this office temporarily."

Just after finishing speaking, the secretary knocked on the door and brought in two cups of coffee.But at the moment she left, she seemed to stop her gaze on Sang Li for a while. Sang Li noticed it, and frowned: "Should I not come? Maybe... I should go directly to find a place to live." Shen Jie laughed: "Zhongyue runs a hotel, where are you going to find a place to live?" He took a sip of coffee, got up and looked at Sang Li with a smile: "Let's go, I'll take you to your room." Sang Li got up obediently, followed behind him, took the elevator downstairs, went to a floor that he couldn't count, changed the elevator, and went upstairs again. The moment the elevator opened, there was a silent corridor in front of him. Sang Li lowered his head to look at the carpet under his feet. It was a soft coffee-colored carpet, lining the oil painting on the wall opposite the elevator hall. It was simple and noble everywhere. Until he came to a door, Shen Jie took out his room card and opened the door.The moment the indoor lights came on, Sang Li gasped as he stood at the door. It's actually a suite? ! Milky white sofa, spacious executive desk, light brown bedding, dark brown carpet... She looked up and saw Shen Jie walking to the window, pulling back the white gauze curtain, and a panoramic view of the Bund scenery. Sang Li was stunned. At this time, Shen Jie pushed open the balcony door and beckoned her to go over. She walked over blankly and saw him leaning on the railing, looking into the distance.There is a wind blowing over, bringing some autumn coolness, but it is inexplicably refreshing. She also squinted her eyes slightly and looked into the distance, seeing the golden sun in the evening shrouding the tops of towering buildings, blooming a bright halo of small flowers, the mighty Huangpu River shimmering, and billboards of various colors standing tall Between the buildings, looking into the distance, the sky is divided into small pieces of golden red behind the buildings... This world is magnificent, and it is more than a little bit different from the world she has seen since she was a child. ! It was already night when we saw Shen Jie again. At half past ten, Sang Li ate alone in the downstairs restaurant, went back to the room to take a shower, and lay on the bed to watch TV.The bed is wide and soft, but the hotel bedding always has a lingering sense of strangeness.Sang Li studied it for a while, and felt that it was most likely because it was washed too clean—the bedding that lacks popularity would certainly not feel like home. But if you don't clean it...ah, it's too scary, Sang Li doesn't dare to think about it anymore. When the doorbell rang, Sang Li was startled, his heart beat hard a few times, and he subconsciously thought: No one knows I'm here, right?Who would that be?Bad guys...but this is a five-star hotel... Just as I was thinking, I heard a low voice: "Open the door, it's me." Shen Jie? ! Sang Li let out a long breath, walked over to open the door, just as he opened the door, he was greeted by the strong smell of alcohol. "Have you been drinking?" Sang Li's eyes widened. Shen Jie didn't speak, just walked to the sofa in the living room and sat down. Sang Li couldn't help being amazed when he saw him loosen his tie for the first time, looking tired and untidy. Shen Jie has always been so handsome, elegant, gentle, and polite...that is simply a model for etiquette lessons! But how many people have seen Shen Jie like this? Just as she was sighing, she heard him say, "Sang Li, pour me a glass of water." Sang Li hurriedly went to pour the water, while pouring it, he tested the temperature with his hands, and handed it to him only after making sure it was not hot. Shen Jie took it and drank it down.After drinking, he fell on the sofa and didn't speak, just lying there.Sang Li stayed for a while, but still felt unbearable, so he took a thin blanket from the back room to cover him, and put a pillow under his head, then turned off the TV and the wall lamp, and only turned on the night light in the bedroom. Crouching on the bed and reading a magazine. In the middle, Shen Jie hummed uncomfortably. Sang Li heard it and was a little puzzled, so she got out of bed, walked barefoot to the sofa, and took a closer look.Under the moonlight, she seemed to have just discovered that a 31-year-old man is really good-looking. Although he may be old, he has an old charm... Sang Li sighed, and then snickered, thinking that Shen Jie must not let Shen Jie know about this evaluation. Mental baggage? Just thinking about it, I suddenly heard a voice: "What are you laughing at?" Sang Li was startled again, and looked up to see that Shen Jie had opened his eyes and looked at him at some point—he was lying down and she was squatting at about the same height. He noticed the glass coffee table behind him. However, Shen Jie's movements were faster than hers. He got up quickly while his eyes widened, and stretched out his arms to block her back.Although he couldn't stop her from falling, his arm took the responsibility of being in close contact with the coffee table instead of her. With a "bang", both Sang Li and Shen Jie fell to the ground! Under the bright moonlight, Sang Li covered the back of his head with one hand, frowned and complained: "You cheating corpse!" Shen Jie was gasping "hissing", mourning his injured right arm, when he raised his eyes, he saw the bright side face of the girl lying on his side under the moonlight.And under the shroud of silver light, the red plaid bear pajamas on her body, although conservative in style, still outlines a curve with undulations... Shen Jie's breathing suddenly became a little short. I swear to God, he has endured it for a long time - he hasn't made a move after a year of acquaintance, this is not Shen Jie's style at all. Although, he was still a little uncertain, wondering if he would be able to shake it off once it got on his hands, but at that moment, maybe it was the effect of alcohol, or maybe the moonlight itself was too intoxicating, anyway, Sang Li was still busy rambling and condemning When "the old people have a bad drinking habit", Shen Jie finally decided to use practical actions to tell her what a bad drinking habit is! As soon as he leaned forward, he accurately covered her still chattering lips. At that moment, Sang Li's gaze suddenly stopped, and his whole body quickly froze into a hard piece! The strong smell of alcohol hit her face, and it seemed that she was about to take away her sanity: What's going on?Who is this guy?What is he doing?
