Lin Qingsong made an appointment to take over from Zi Xian at seven in the afternoon, and stood at the door of her house at four o'clock holding roses.
Perhaps it was a little early, Lin Qingsong tugged on his tie, and after mentally preparing himself, he knocked on the door softly: "Ren Zixiao?"
He knocked rhythmically for several minutes, but there was no response from the cold security door. Lin Qingsong called Ren Zixian but no one answered.
Lin Qingsong walked out to call Wang Qi. He was handsome and stood at the door with flowers and gifts, which attracted many people's attention.
Before Wang Qi's call was connected, Lin Qingsong hung up. Ren Zixian wouldn't like him investigating her whereabouts without authorization.
Lin Qingsong did not enter the unit building again, but stood downstairs in front of Ren Zixian's window and waited.
His patience has always been good.
When he graduated from college, he was sent to a branch office by Lin Kaifeng for training. At that time, he had done all kinds of dirty and tiring work.
Lin Kaifeng believes that sales is the foundation for the development of any company, so Lin Qingsong stayed in the sales department the longest and worked hardest.
Sales positions are different from other positions. The basic salary is pitiful and can only be raised by commission.
Once you negotiate a cooperation, you will be promoted to a higher level, but this is also where the salary is most transparent.
In the first year that Lin Qingsong joined the sales department, he received almost all basic salary, and it was difficult to even support himself.
At that time, we were in the construction equipment business, and the other boss wanted to shop around. It was useless just to have good products, so Lin Qingsong could only do his best to do what he wanted.
It is common to invite the boss to dinner and drinks to discuss business. You also need to know how to help the boss with things and give gifts.
The boss said nice things but remained silent when it came time to place the order.
Over time, Lin Qingsong also began to waste his patience with them.
Lin Qingsong waited from dawn to dusk, but Ren Zixian still didn't come back.
This kind of place has the atmosphere of thousands of lights. In the evening when the lanterns are on, young people who go out to work come back, and there are also many students from Yantai University living here.
Lin Qingsong holding a bouquet of bright roses was particularly eye-catching here, and many little girls even quietly walked around to observe him as if nothing had happened.
Until midnight, Ren Zixian still didn't go home or come out of the house. Lin Qingsong glanced at her window, but there was no light inside.
Ren Zixian never stayed overnight without returning home.
Lin Qingsong almost waited until he was numb. It might be that Ren Zixian's experiment was done too late.
He listened to the silence inside the security door, not even the sound of Xiao Gui.
Lin Qingsong called Ren Zixian again, but the phone still got a busy signal and then left a message.
The same busy tone without response had sounded once in his memory.
Lin Kaifeng started from scratch and believes that personal ability is more important than family relationships.
In addition to Zhu Jinglan who felt more sorry for Lin Xuedi, Lin Kaifeng had very high demands on the two brothers.
The family industry may be in turmoil, and the cooperative relationships between various companies may be terminated, but one's own abilities are the most powerful weapon in facing the future.
He led Zhu Jinglan to build a kingdom step by step, and he naturally hoped that his children would not rely on family capital, so after Lin Qingsong graduated from university, Lin Kaifeng sent him to the branch office for training.
If Zhu Jinglan hadn't believed that personal initiative is more important in the research field, Lin Kaifeng would have held Lin Xuedi to the same high standards as he trained Lin Qingsong.
Lin Qingsong and Lin Kaifeng are of the same origin, and they have never regarded the bond between families as important.
So when Jian Congwei proposed a marriage between Jian Fangshu and Lin Xuedi, Lin Qingsong never thought it was a very meaningful thing.
But Jian Fangshu didn't think so. She was shocked by Jian Congwei's heart disease.
After Jian Congwei came out of the emergency room, Jian Fangshu began to keep a distance from him intentionally or unintentionally, refused his help, and began to handle the company's work alone.
The result was that the company fell into unprecedented turmoil - she was incapable of running the company, and instead made the board of directors panic.
She refused Lin Qingsong's help time and time again, refused to meet with him, and even when she answered the phone, most of the time it ended in a quarrel.
The most violent quarrel was the night when Jian Congwei was transferred to the general ward.
Lin Qingsong asked her: "Why did you go to that meeting? You have no decision-making power. Going there will only let the board of directors know that your father is not awake yet. You will not change if you are sad here. Why don't you go to your company immediately? The deputy director asked him to make an appointment for you..."
Jian Fangshu cried and screamed as if he had collapsed: "I can't stop them! I can't calmly calm the board of directors like you! Do you understand or not?"
Then Jian Congwei woke up from his coma, and the directors of Jian's company stopped seeing that they couldn't take advantage.
Lin Kaifeng was not satisfied with Lin Qingsong's behavior and deliberately asked him not to be emotional, so he was directly transferred to a foreign project team.
Before leaving, Lin Qingsong called Jian Fangshu and asked: "I will work hard to get your dad's approval. You can rest assured with me here. By then, whether you want to learn to manage a company or engage in cultural relics-related work , let’s work hard together, okay?”
Jian Fangshu majored in antique appreciation. Although it was Jian Congwei's ambition, her talent did lie in this.
On the phone, Jian Fangshu calmly broke up with him for the first time: "We are not suitable, so let's end it here."
Lin Qingsong was angry. It was also the first time that he was so angry that Jian Fangshu was not allowed to mention breaking up casually again.
However, within a few months, he learned from Lin Kaifeng's phone call that Jian Fang Shusongkou was going to marry Lin Xuedi: "I can't say what your mother means. If Xuedi thinks it's good, she might do it." Set it down.”
Lin Qingsong called Jian Fangshu over and over again, but there was only an endless busy signal.
"Hello, this is Ren Zixian. It's not convenient for me to answer the phone right now. If you need anything, please leave me a message..."
Lin Qingsong seemed to have not heard Ren Zixian speak so calmly for a long time.
The voice prompt on the other end of the phone hung up, and Lin Qingsong called again and left a message directly: "Ren Zixian, I'm at your door. The invitations to the year-end party have been delivered, and we will attend together. If you are at home, we can take care of you together. It’s convenient for me to drive back with my luggage. Even if I’m angry, I still need to reply to my message.”
Lin Qingsong paused and then said: "If you are still alive, you can live here. At least contact me and let me know that you are safe."
Not sure if Ren Zixian heard the message, Lin Qingsong waited for another forty minutes, feeling increasingly uneasy.
He called Wang Qi and said, "You can find a way to locate Ren Zixian. I want to know if she is safe."
Lin Qingsong rarely asked Wang Qi to check other people's whereabouts. This was regarded as peeping into privacy, but Ren Zixian never came back and he was worried about her safety.
Within half an hour, Wang Qi replied to him: "Mr. Lin, Miss Ren's mobile phone has been located at a high-end hotel near Yanda University. She has not moved for nearly eleven hours. Do you need me to contact the manager of this hotel?" ?”
"No..." Lin Qingsong held the flowers in his hands tightly, "No need to contact her. Just make sure she is safe."
Maybe Ren Zixian just wanted to change a place to rest, Lin Qingsong continued to guard in front of the unit building with lowered eyes. After one o'clock in the morning, the lights in the community were turned off one after another.
There was still no response to the message left to Ren Zixian. Lin Qingsong couldn't help but call her again, but the message was still busy and the message was not answered.
Lin Qingsong looked at the messages he had read yesterday afternoon. Ren Zixian must have known that Lin Qingsong was waiting for him.
He stared at the cold iron door and stood for more than ten hours, even though he could not stand still.
Lin Qingsong even doubted the meaning of his waiting. Was it to make Ren Zixian come back and feel sorry for him?
At three o'clock in the morning, Lin Qingsong placed the rose in his hand at Ren Zixian's door, along with the inconspicuous velvet gift cloth clip.
Moonlight is rarely seen on winter nights in Yanshi, and the dim light from street lamps shines on the unclaimed roses.
Lin Qingsong looked at the rose. This was the first time he had gone back on his promise. He would never take back the breakup he had said.
This time he didn't want to take things easy.
Lin Qingsong tried his best to walk decently, without even losing his expression. He drove out of this old community without even taking away the jade suite worth hundreds of millions.
Six o'clock in the morning.
Sixteen hours of sleep gave Ren Zixian a sense of dislocation that the world had collapsed.
She lay in bed and let the fatigue from a long sleep overwhelm her until she heard the phone she had reserved for morning service ringing.
Ren Zixian asked the hotel to bring him breakfast. Even though he had no appetite, he managed to eat two bites before going downstairs with his things.
She checked out and originally thought she was going to sleep here for a whole day, but it turned out to be the opposite.
Ren Zixian returned to the independent small courtyard again, but this time her mother was not dancing, but sitting under the tree with her father drinking tea.
Grandma held Ren Zixian on her lap, held her in her arms, and knitted a sweater stitch by stitch.
Ren Zixian never understood the way his grandma knitted sweaters, but he clearly remembered all her movements in his dream.
She clearly understood that this was a dream, but she still woke up with tears streaming down her face.
When Ren Zixian left the hotel, students who had morning classes were already rushing to the classroom.
She stood at the school gate, forgetting what she was going to do for a moment.
"Ren Zixiao?" someone called her.
Ren Zixian turned around and saw Xu Xuanming driving his off-road vehicle, rolling down the window and calling her.
"What are you doing here?" Xu Xuanming was very confused about her being here, "The lacquer coffin laboratory won't open until the afternoon."
Ren Zixian suddenly remembered that they had just changed the potion yesterday and there would be no progress until this afternoon, so they just had to come back then.
Professor Mo Wen will go to the venue because of the charity gala, so she should not come to school today.
This is why she dared to take six pills at once - she was not afraid of delaying the progress of the project.
