Shen Zhiyu drank the soup silently. The pickled fish she originally loved suddenly felt tasteless and indescribably bitter and sour. She picked up a glass of warm water and rinsed her mouth.

I don't know what kind of cigarette Pei Chen lit just now. After burning it for a few seconds, his scent was stained on the clothes. The tobacco was not overpowering but not choking, with a hint of mint and vanilla. The fragrance was gentle but hard to ignore.

"What does it smell like on you?"

Pei Xu inquired, and Shen Zhiyu swallowed the food and slowly moved the bowls and chopsticks aside, "I don't know, maybe I accidentally got it on the car."

She opened the curtain and looked at the rain outside the window.

It was pattering, and there was only some sound of falling rain and the sound of rain falling on the branches and leaves.

What he said to her today was extremely strange. She didn't know who felt that the other party could not control it. He always said it with a hint of selfishness. Shen Zhiyu was a little tired. She took out an umbrella from the shoe cabinet and opened the door. The breeze blowing from the hall is a bit cold, a bit chilly, and has a damp feeling.

Pei Xu was not an ignorant person. He knew that today's topic brought her unhappiness. He stood up, buttoned up his suit jacket, and took the umbrella she had opened naturally. "I just finished eating. I want to send it to you. Have you passed?"

"it is good."

There was no reason to be rude to the financial owner, so she chuckled and walked side by side with him.

The Pei family was not far from the Shen family, only 10 minutes away. Shen Zhiyu took back her umbrella, shook the rain off it, and said goodbye to him under the eaves.

Under the dim yellow street lights, the residual wind blew through the rain-stained fallen leaves and gently swirled the stones on the bluestone road, which actually became the sound of comfort in this empty and silent place.

Shen Zhiyu was caught in the rain and had already taken off her delicate makeup at home. Her palm-sized face was slightly raised, her lips were light-colored, and her eyes were flowing, like the cool evening breeze that made people relax.

Pei Xu lowered his head and kissed her.

She tilted her head subconsciously, not knowing who she saw, grinning like the sister next door.

"Why did Xingheng come out?"

She dodged sideways without leaving any trace, bent down and touched Pei Xingheng's head through the iron door.

There was cream all over his hands and on his face, but the color looked familiar.

"Sister, do you want to eat?"

He was also holding a small piece of cream cake in his hand, the one she saw Pei Chen buy this afternoon. Pei Xingheng completely dug out the strawberry bear on top and handed it to her like a treasure.

The second brother asked him to give the top strawberry bear to the beautiful sister.

Although he was a little reluctant to part with it, the second brother said that he would buy it for him next time. His mother didn't let him eat sweets, so she finally bought it for him, so naturally he couldn't just focus on the present.

Pei Chen stood behind Pei Xingheng. He had his hands in his pockets, and there was some light pink cream foam on his forehead that had not been cleaned up. It was probably from when he came out with Pei Xingheng in his arms.

His romantic eyes were clear and bright even through the night, and his gaze when he looked over was focused and passionate.

Shen Zhiyu couldn't help lowering her head. Is this the little lover he was talking about?So what was she doing in the car?
How embarrassing!

Shen Zhiyu covered her face and sighed.

She didn't stay for a few minutes, took the cream cake from Pei Xingheng, said goodbye and left.

As soon as I returned to my den, I wrapped my wet hair with a white dry hair cap on my head after washing, when my cell phone on one side rang several times.

【Is the cake delicious? 】

[Looking at how hungry you were this afternoon, the kid happened to see it and clamored to eat it, so he simply left some for you. 】 Shen Zhiyu stared at the cake at hand, dipped some on her fork and brought it to her mouth. It was indeed good. The cream that melted in her mouth was sweet but not greasy, and the strong strawberry flavor left a lingering fragrance on her lips and teeth.

Shen Zhiyu: [What about your little lover? 】

Pei Chen: [She is very well-behaved, just coax her tomorrow. 】

Oh, the little lover is real, but family affection has defeated love.

She simply closed the chat window and did not reply to his message.

After eating all the cream cake, he lay on the bed and read the messages from the work group.

No buffer time was given to her at all.

Pei Xu moved quickly, and Shen Wenjian asked the personnel to arrange everything for her without saying a word. In the evening, she was pulled into the work group.

The eloquent long list of chat records is nothing more than welcome quotes and some cute emoticons. It is led by the immediate boss, Manager Liu, and everyone sends greetings in a long line.

They probably knew that she was airborne and suddenly went from a small and transparent position in the human resources department to the bidding project team. She was also famous in the company's gossip because of Shen Xinxin, so most people knew that she was very tough in the background. She was extremely polite.

She replied one by one and saw Manager Liu arranging work inside. Everyone posted their work arrangements for tomorrow in the group, but she remained silent.

Manager Liu is a woman. She sent a long message. She will go to the government agency to discuss cooperation tomorrow. She asked Shen Zhiyu to be fully prepared. Knowing that she usually dresses in a high-profile manner, she even sent a private message asking her to dress more modestly.

She agreed one by one. As Manager Liu's assistant, she naturally couldn't steal the limelight from the leader, and Manager Liu was quite reasonable in terms of current dealings.

Manager Liu has been mingling among people all year round, so he is naturally familiar with government-enterprise cooperation.

She arranged a banquet box. The location was very inconspicuous. To outsiders, it sounded like a fly shop outside the customs. However, she was not wrong. When Shen Zhiyu stepped in according to the address, she really thought that Manager Liu was so ignorant. Li, actually arranged for the leaders to have dinner in the small workshop...

It wasn't until the waiter took her through the long corridor and walked a short distance through the secret passage of the cubicle that she discovered that there was something else.

The staff in the agency will always avoid suspicion, and it is difficult to deal with being reported because of their sensitive status. Therefore, if you have a banquet out in a generous manner, it will inevitably be made a fuss by someone with intentions. Arranging it here... will be much more convenient in all aspects.

The restaurant here is doing very well. In addition to them, there are also many rich kids she has seen. They are all drunk and their faces are red. They are brothers with the people at the table, talking about hundreds of millions of contracts, and all the famous wines and cigarettes are in the box. on the small sofa.

Soon, she was taken into a private room. The waiters here were all very good-looking. There were basically one or two waiters waiting outside each private room.

She walked on the plush carpet with stiletto heels, and the sound of her footsteps seemed to be muffled.

She found it very interesting. She had been a young lady who was not familiar with the world for a long time, and she really didn't know that officials and businessmen were so sensitive and passive.

Ms. Zhang Si is absolutely right. She has lived in an ideal world for so long that she thinks everyone is the same as her.

She sat quietly in a corner, observing the people on the scene, several of whom were famous figures in politics. Manager Liu took out a bottle of fine wine from his collection, but was blocked by someone.

"What's the point of drinking red? Xiao Liu, people say you can drink a thousand cups, but I want to see if you can drink it or I can drink it!"

With a wave of his hand, he asked the waiter to bring a few bottles of Maotai.

"Xiao Liu, if you can't drink, you can ask your little apprentice to block the drink."

The person who spoke was the secretary of the district director. He was sent here because his personality in the unit was that he could drink. The leader asked him to come because he wanted to lower the price and save a few points of profit that could be used in other infrastructure links.
