Here We Meet Again Chapter 21:
Chapter 21
Not long after, Xu Yanshi and Lao Qing also turned off their computers and packed up their things to leave.
Xiang Yuan stood at the door of the kitchen in astonishment holding the freshly cut cake, as if he didn't expect them to leave so soon, "Are you leaving now? Don't you want to eat the cake? Xiaohao and the others made it themselves."
Xiao Hao told her in WeChat just now.
Xu Yanshi glanced at the "Handmade Cake" that looked a little bad in appearance, hummed coldly, put on her coat, and said nothing.
Xiang Yuan wanted to know that Xu Yanshi didn't like this kind of thing, so it wasn't surprising. He put the cake on the table and went to grab his coat, "Then I'll take you downstairs."
Being coldly rejected by Xu Yanshi, "No need."
Xiang Yuan was choked, and seeing his repulsive appearance, his heart sank, but he didn't know how to answer, and said dryly: "Then I'll take you to the door."
Lao Qing was greedy, and when Xu Yan was not paying attention before leaving, he took a piece of cake with him. When he was eating in the elevator, he asked Xu Yanshi with all his heart, "You really don't want to eat it?"
Xu Yanshi didn't even lift her eyelids, and checked tomorrow's schedule on her mobile phone: "Don't eat."
Lao Qing's mouth was full of cream, watching the number in the elevator keep dropping, he suddenly said: "Are men more attractive because they have been divorced?"
Xu Yanshi seemed to twitch the corners of her mouth mockingly, but didn't answer.
In the parking lot, the two ran into the middle-aged elite man in cashmere just now. Lao Qing recognized him and greeted him. Here, he introduced to Xu Yanshi: "It's the cake he sent."
The underground parking lot was empty, and the three of them ran into each other. Lu Dong, who had just locked the car, was also taken aback. Seeing Lao Qing holding his cake in his hand, his expression froze for a moment. Xu Yanshi, who couldn't be ignored in the field, looked at him for a while.
After all, Lao Qing was soft-spoken, and he was the first to say hello: "The cake is delicious."
Lu Dong smiled slightly, with a deep baritone voice, even his hair was gentle and polite: "Thank you, Xiang Yuan told me."
This remark was a bit of an insult to Lao Qing who said that Xiang Yuan had already fallen asleep. Lao Qing laughed and pretended to be stupid.
Xu Yanshi's eyes met him slightly, and then quickly staggered away without communicating.
Even Lu Dong, who is used to the situation in the business world, has the illusion of meeting his opponent. His eyes are so dark that no one can see any emotion. He is cold and arrogant. He seems to be a very difficult person to get along with. people. Lu Dong's heart sank, feeling a sense of threat.
However, when Xu Yan got into the car, the sense of coercion in Lu Dong's heart disappeared, and he waved the car key in his hand to press the elevator in a refreshed manner—
At least, on an economic basis, he won.
Although Lao Qing thinks that Lu Dong's car is very handsome, Lu Dong has a sense of superiority with a yin and yang, which is a bit too artificial. Anyway, the few seconds of getting along with him just now made him too uncomfortable. Although Xu Yan was also aloof at times, he was open-minded all over and did not over-modify himself. It's just that over the years, my personality has become a bit depressed.
The black Volkswagen Golf is submerged in the main road of the city, and the streetscapes on both sides are gradually flourishing.
The street lamps reflected Xu Yanshi's face, his face was stern and his expression was dark and unclear. Lao Qing put one foot on his front desk, looked at the traffic lights in front of him with a relaxed expression, "Old Xu, to be honest, if you have money, you must be a hundred times more handsome than that man just now. And, if you want Is it difficult to make money? How about every minute, you forgot that we used to—"
Waiting for the traffic light, Xu Yanshi leaned on the driver's seat, stepped on the brake, looked away from the window coldly, and interrupted: "There is no need to mention it, I really have no money now."
He hadn't spoken for a long time, his voice was a little hoarse, and his ending sound was a little rusty. After he finished speaking, he coughed and cleared his throat.
Lao Qing: "Sister Keyuan also said that she likes those who have no money."
When the green light jumped ahead, Xu Yanshi slightly raised her foot and let go of the brake, as if smiling, "Then you know the background of every boyfriend she has? She said she likes those who have no money, so you believe it ?”
Lao Qing was taken aback, "Have you two known each other for so long?"
Xu Yan said calmly: "A high school classmate."
Old Qing gave a clear oh, and suddenly remembered something, "She is your high school classmate? Then does she know Feng Jun?"
Speeding all the way, the scenery outside the window quickly fell backwards.
Xu Yanshi clenched the steering wheel, and after a while, hummed in a low voice.
Old Qing didn't notice his strangeness at all, and said to himself: "Anyway, I don't understand women. The old ghost said that women are a kind of animal that is duplicity, so I don't know how to judge. The two of you coming and going tonight seem to be quite interesting, but if according to what you say, every boyfriend is quite rich, then you two must be out of the game, maybe this is her way of getting along with men? Damn, you're not the spare tire, are you?"
At that time, Lao Qing found out that Xiang Yuan had sent a circle of friends.
I took a birthday cake and wished Xiaohao a happy birthday.
"Why do I feel that the plot is a bit reversed now, and this cashmere man is the leading actor?" Lao Qing put away his phone, glanced sideways at Xu Yanshi's indifferent and handsome face, and asked, "Then how do you feel about her? Don't fall into it in such a short time?"
Xu Yanshi smiled, as if disdainful: "You treat me as a young boy who is in love with you?"
Lao Qing wrapped his coat tightly and leaned on the co-pilot, put his other foot on the front and lifted it up, and said nervously: "Isn't it, you have never been in a serious relationship."
Xu Yan cast a cold glance at him, warning him to take his foot off.
Lao Qing was discouraged, retracted his feet, and persuaded him earnestly: "But Lao Xu, just kidding, if we are serious about finding a partner at our age, we may still have to consider various factors. The thing is, whether it fits or not is the most important thing. If it's really inappropriate, no matter how right you feel, you can't go down, or you will end up with both sides in the end. Do we still see such examples? Just take our brothers To put it bluntly, the old ghost broke up with his girlfriend who had been talking for twelve years for his ideals. Now, he is in the middle stage of lung cancer. Zhang Yi, brother Yi, look, how rich his wife is, a typical family has a mine. Back then we He refused to listen to any persuasion. He resolutely decided to marry for love, and the children all took his wife's surname. What about now? People and children ask every day, Dad, why do other classmates take their dad's surname, but only me and my mother's surname. Xiao Lin, we Brother Xiaolin, it’s better not to be married than to be married. I’m under the control of my wife every day. Last time I didn’t have any money for a taxi and asked me to transfer him 20 taxis. My wife hasn't paid the breakfast money for the day yet. I'm stunned to hear it, anyway, these few years, the brothers are not doing very well, so I advise you to think carefully about it."
The car shuttled through the traffic peacefully, just like the expression on Xu Yan's face at the moment, his eyes were like a deep well, deep enough to see the low.
He said: "When I asked Chen Shan for leave today, she said that I can leave my job next year."
Lao Qing was stunned, and looked at him in disbelief, "Damn it, she finally let you go free? Why did she suddenly think about it? Didn't she refuse to approve your resignation a few years ago?! What kind of multi-billion project of yours has been completed?"
"The project has long been suspended. Chen Shan will be transferred to the Shanghai branch next month. She said that the Xi'an branch will be closed next year. If she doesn't get the tender before May next year, she will also resign. "
Lao Qing: "Then you are free?"
"She wants me to go out with her alone."
Lao Qing: "Then what do you think?"
"Don't know."
I really didn't think about it.
Lao Qing sighed, looked out the car window, and said:
"Old Xu, the one thing I regret the most in my life is letting Feng Jun make that bet with the old ghost that night."
Twilight was getting darker, and the sky was filled with darkness. After speaking, Lao Qing was a little choked up, he gritted his teeth, his veins were bulging, his face was flushed, and he showed extreme forbearance.
"I chose the road myself. I can't blame anyone."
When he mentioned this matter, he was always in a calm mood, and it was precisely because of this that the old ghost had a big fight when they met a month ago. He thought Xu Yanshi was taking revenge on him and Feng Jun now!
Lao Qing couldn't bear to listen to these words at the time, so he punched the old ghost hard without saying a word. If he hadn't made a bet with Feng Jun back then, would Xu Yanshi have been hurt like this! ?
Wang Qingyi will think about this matter once, and he will hate himself once. If he had tried to stop him that night, it would not be the current situation.
That night, Xu Yanshi went to the professor's laboratory and didn't mess around with them. This group of boys gathered together from all over the world, and none of them graduated from the same school, except for Xu Yanshi, Feng Jun, and the old ghost Zhang Yi, who were students of serious universities. Lao Qing has been working in the computer city since he graduated from high school, and so are the other buddies. They have various industries and can do anything.
The only thing they have in common is that they are both interested in programming, and Feng Jun is even more obsessed with programming. They had a hacker forum at that time, and everyone's ID was very famous. You can tell by looking at the QQ account number, which is basically a five-digit or six-digit god-level account.
At that time, people would often post on the forum, asking to find out the IP addresses of various crushes. This kind of thing Xu Yanshi and the college students generally didn't do, it was Lao Qing's private work with other contacts who needed to make ends meet. Xu Yanshi, Feng Jun and the others like to read the source code of the webpage when they have nothing to do, and help people check for vulnerabilities and patches for free, and then send the correct solution to the email address of the other party. Most companies will still appreciate it.
But that night, when they were young and full of wine, they became more and more unscrupulous, and the more they chatted, the more excited they became. The trigeminal nerve had completely jumped out of the brain, as if it was throbbing above their heads, and Feng Jun was fighting with the old ghost. At that time, they made a bet and put their idea on Chen Shan's company. As a result, Chen Shan's company was paralyzed because of their invasion that night, and the net business turnover loss was 3 million.
Chen Shan herself was also a hacker, and she was Xu Yanshi's and Feng Jun's seniors. Feng Jun was found out two days after the incident happened.
Prosecution is essential. At that time, Lao Qing saw that the amount claimed in the indictment was 10 million, and he was going to jail. Feng Jun and the old ghost were completely terrified. Feng Jun's father set up a factory, and he could afford tens of millions, but he couldn't get Chen Shan to withdraw the lawsuit.
At that time, Xu Yanshi had just received Wade's offer.
Chen Shan took out another contract, which was aimed at Xu Yanshi.
So it can be said that Xu Yanshi rejected Wade's offer and joined a company with an uncertain future because of Feng Jun and the old ghost. When Lao Qing was angry, he was angry. The old ghost graduated and entered the research institute, and Feng Jun went abroad.
Everyone seems to be living a good life, only Xu Yanshi paid the bill impulsively for their youth!
The old ghost actually said that Xu Yanshi's current depression is revenge for them!
But Lao Qing didn't know at the time that the old ghost was diagnosed with lung cancer a few weeks ago, and no one said anything. Maybe he felt that he didn't have much time. He was afraid that Xu Yanshi was really because he lived a mediocre life, and he was afraid that he would never have another chance. Turn over, afraid that they will never go back to the past.
Afraid that he would die, Xu Yan would never forgive him.
Because after that incident, Xu Yanshi seldom returned to Beijing and rarely got together with them again. Occasionally, he would sit silently by himself and smoke in a poker game during the Chinese New Year. When Xu Yan spoke, he no longer called him an old ghost as before, but called him by his name in a serious manner.
No one knew what Xu Yanshi was thinking.
Old Qing only knows that he has never blamed anyone, as he himself said, he chose the road by himself, and he has no one to blame.
The car enters the ancient alley.
Xu Yanshi slowly stepped on the brakes, her stern face gradually became clear under the street lights, with smooth outlines.
He suddenly said: "Sooner or later, I have to leave. Even if it's not next year, if Weilin doesn't close the door, I will resign voluntarily when my contract with Chen Shan expires. It's not like you don't know what I want to do. Boss The ghosts don't understand, you should understand."
Of course Lao Qing understands, he wants to become a GNSS engineer of China's positioning system!
How can it be possible to do car navigation for a lifetime!
In the dark, he murmured, his voice was very cold:
"I don't deny that I have a crush on her. There is nothing to deny about this kind of thing, but she has too much history with me, and each relationship lasts less than half a year. I don't want to die before I leave the company. I broke up with her, so it may be better to be friends than to be a couple. And, it's just a good feeling."
Lao Qing: "Damn it, Lao Xu, have you made up your mind to be a spare tire?"
"Think what you want." Xu Yanshi slightly opened his eyes sideways, and his eyes fell on the window. His voice was so calm that Lao Qing almost jumped out of the car.
Lao Qing was dumbfounded.
What has this handsome guy experienced?
Xu Yanshi: "I'll go back to Beijing tomorrow to see the old ghost, and I'll leave the matter here to you. Call me if you have any questions."
"Also, during the time I'm not here, don't go to someone's house alone, even if she invites you."
Lao Qing was indignant: "Old Xu, you are too domineering! How can the spare tire ask for a genuine boyfriend!"
Xu Yan was amused, looked out the car window casually and said, "Then you try."
Lao Qing took off the sun visor and looked in the mirror: "You can't do it, my handsomeness has already made you feel a sense of crisis?"
Xu Yanshi sneered, "You?" Very disdainful.
——
Xiang Yuan dug out a box of fingerprints under Gao Leng's table!
At first, she didn't know what it was, and thought it was a toy model, but she couldn't fish it out after grabbing it for a long time. When she finally fished it out, it was all fingers.
thumb, little finger, ring finger, middle finger...
She counted them one by one, with both hands intact.
When Gao Leng entered the door, he saw his fingers lying on the ground, he was startled, and hurried over, "Team leader, what are you doing!"
Xiang Yuan confiscated everything without saying a word, "You guys are too much, you check in with your fingerprints every day, I said why you can't see anyone all day, but the attendance records are neat and tidy all day long! Xu Yanshi is usually so indulgent Looking at you? It's too much!"
Gao Leng was taken aback, "The team leader, not only us, but also the whole company, even Yongbiao himself."
Xiang Yuan gathered all his things together, and walked towards the meeting room wearing high heels: "I don't care, my team is not allowed to use it, you will clock in for me to go to work on time every day, and whoever uses this in the technical department will be punished by me." I found out that this month's performance will be deducted!"
Gao Leng feels that Xiang Yuan has changed.
He pursed his mouth aggrievedly and said, "I really miss you, team leader, when you first came."
Xiang Yuan's high-heeled shoes were pedaling loudly, and he absent-mindedly replied, "Is that so, why?" Then he squatted down and locked the box of fingerprints into the safe.
Gao Leng said: "At that time, the conversation between us was still a bit shy."
"It's okay, you will get to know me gradually in the future," Xiang Yuan stood up slowly, clapped his hands, looked at him with his waist pinched, and raised his eyebrows, "Come on, you go to send a notice and let everyone in the technical department come over A meeting, I have something important to announce!"
