Xi Lin stood in the middle of the banquet, and more and more people gathered around him, because everyone found that he seemed to be in a better mood today, and someone actually came up and said a few words, and they got a chance to cooperate.
In fact, when this slightly fat man first wanted to talk about business, Xi Lin did not answer the conversation until his wife took his arm and whispered: "The eldest lady of the Wen family is really beautiful and well-behaved, and she and Mr. Xi are pretty good." Take it."
The man's mind was not on what his wife said, but he subconsciously answered: "Yes."
The two of them thought their voice was very low, but Xi Lin heard it clearly. He suddenly said to the man: "Go to Xi's tomorrow to find Zhao Kun from the project department."
The man was stunned for a moment before he realized that he was talking about himself. He immediately responded: "Okay, Mr. Xi." He was still thinking: "I didn't expect there would be such a big surprise today. Xi's has been developing rapidly recently. It can A small cooperation would be enough for him to last for a year."
He wanted to share the joy with his wife, but his wife was not thinking about cooperation. She was still looking at Wen Shu, and she was still thinking about why his daughter looked so sweet and soft.
Well, I must have found the wrong husband.
Everyone didn't know why the man suddenly got cooperation, and they all gathered around and flattered him. Xi Lin was actually stunned for a moment. At this time, his phone vibrated again. He took it out and took a look. He couldn't stay there any longer. The big project we just talked about requires a meeting, and he can't be there.
So he walked to Mr. Wen and found an opportunity to speak: "Grandpa Wen, my company has something to do, so I need to leave first. I will visit you at home when I have time."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Wen nodded: "Okay, then go ahead and play chess at home when you have time. Play chess with my old man. Let's try to see if the white jade chessboard works well."
Xi Lin smiled and nodded in agreement. Then he said goodbye to Father Wen and Mother Wen next to him: "Uncle Wen, Aunt Wen, I'm leaving first."
The two of them nodded and responded with a smile: "Okay, drive carefully on the road."
Xi Lin nodded, and then he looked at Wen Shu. Wen Shu had been looking at him just now. At this time, Xi Lin looked at her. Her whole body tensed up inexplicably, thinking about what he would say?
But Xi Lin just nodded slightly to her, then turned and left.
Wen Shu looked at his leaving figure, feeling a little disappointed for no reason.
At this time, Wen's mother suddenly sighed: "This child from the Xi family seems to be quite good. He is careful and considerate in his work. He is so safe at this age. It is already very good."
Father Wen responded. He thought so too. The main reason was that he felt that he would be a little arrogant when he made such an achievement at his age, but he was not. He was always polite and courteous to them, and his words made people feel comfortable.
Both of them were sincerely praising, but Mr. Wen suddenly glanced at Wen Shu. Wen Shu was still looking at the door in a trance and didn't notice.
Mr. Wen looked away and became thoughtful.
…
Xi Lin didn't know that after he left, the Wen family were still praising him. The driver was waiting for him outside. He was sitting in the back seat. Normally, he should have been thinking about the project, but today he couldn't help but think of the sentence: "The eldest lady of the Wen family. She is really pretty and well-behaved, and she goes well with Mr. Xi."
Does it match well? he thinks.
He heard this inexplicable sentence and said it, as if he agreed with it in his heart at that time.
He leaned all over the back seat and remembered the little girl's soft voice calling: "Brother."
Hmm, it seems to match well.
The car drove all the way to the company. After Xi Lin got off the car, he returned to his usual self, serious and serious. It was already past eight o'clock in the evening, the building was still brightly lit, and most people were working overtime. Xi Lin's development in the past two years Well, everyone's welfare benefits have also been improved. You can get paid for overtime work and get bonuses, so everyone is highly motivated.
Xi Lin took the elevator directly to the 26th floor. Assistant Yu Wen was already waiting there, and the heads of various departments in the company were already discussing something in the conference room.
He opened the door of the conference room and took the main seat. Yu Wen followed him in, and the meeting officially began.
The meeting lasted until almost ten o'clock in the evening. Everyone dispersed. Others had left one after another. Xi Lin returned to his office and lowered his head to read the documents. It was not until around 10:50 that Yu Wen knocked on the door and came in, saying: "Xi Lin Sir, it’s almost 11 o’clock, do you want to sleep at the company or go home today?”
Xi Lin seemed to realize how late it was at this moment. He spoke, his voice a little hoarse: "Go back, I'm sleeping in the company today."
Yu Wen nodded and continued: "I ordered takeout for you. It will be delivered to you in a moment. I didn't eat anything on the plane. You can eat something. I'll leave first."
Xi Lin nodded.
Yu Wen opened the door and went home.
Xi Lin leaned back on the office chair, rubbed his temples, closed his eyes and rested for a few minutes. Only then did he feel his stomach was empty, as if he was overly hungry, and felt a little uncomfortable.
There was no one at home when he returned. His parents were abroad. Because it was too hot in Beijing, Grandpa Xi and Grandma Xi had gone to Nancheng to escape the summer heat a few days ago. It would be more convenient to go directly to the company.
He rested for a few minutes and then lowered his head and continued to read the documents. He didn't stop until the takeaway was delivered, which was porridge and some pot stickers. He ate a few hastily, and seeing that it was almost early in the morning, he finally got up and went to the lounge to wash up and rest.
…
Someone is working overtime, someone is opening gifts.
The older Mr. Wen gets, the more childlike he is. When everyone attends a banquet, there is a person and place at the door specially designed to receive gifts. After the banquet is over and everyone has left, he usually should rest at this time, and he has to give all the gifts to others. He brought them over and wanted to open the gifts, but Wen's father and Wen's mother couldn't resist the old man. Brother Wen and sister-in-law returned to their small home again. Wen Shu was still a joiner in the fun, so Wen's father and Wen's mother could only have people move them over and pile them on the coffee table.
The old man was in high spirits, sitting on the sofa, and Wen Shu opened the gifts each with scissors. Some gifts were too tightly wrapped and difficult to open without scissors.
Wen Shu had already changed into her nightgown. She wore a light green cotton nightgown that reached her ankles. She sat cross-legged on the carpet, looking very well-behaved.
Mother Wen looked at her daughter and wanted to say that many of these gifts were given by people of high status. It would be wrong to let her daughter open them. What if there was something important?
She poked her husband, and Father Wen looked at her. She winked again. Father Wen understood and said, "Dad, these things were given to you by others. Don't let Shu Shu open them. Don't let them open them." broken."
Mother Wen stretched out her hand and pinched Father Wen, but she would not change her words.
Sure enough, Mr. Wen said, "You asked me to open all these gifts alone. You want to exhaust me to death."
Father Wen...
Before Mr. Wen could finish, he added, "Besides, what's wrong with my precious granddaughter opening some gifts for me? It's not something important. It's not as important as my granddaughter."
Father Wen...yes, he is not human inside and out.
Wen Shu raised his head and said to Father Wen and Mother Wen: "Dad, Mom, I will be careful."
Mother Wen could only nod helplessly. Dad really doted on her daughter too much.
