What do you want in life

Chapter 54 Don't Want to Lose Your Smile (5)
"You should learn how to drive first, so that you can drive yourself when you get off work." Li Zhen suggested to Xiaoying with the steering wheel in his hand.

Xiaoying smiled and shook her head, "I didn't have the guts to drive. The people in the company's administrative department said they provide a shuttle bus, and there is a platform not far from our community. You don't need to take me to work every day in the future, I can just come by car. "

"Anyway, it's convenient to pick you up along the way." Li Zhen insisted.

He parked the car on the side of the road, and while waiting for Xiaoying to get off the car, he turned his head and glanced at Ke Lan carefully. It was indeed a company with a good environment, which matched the overall scenery of City H, but it looked It looks more like a museum for people to visit than a company that manufactures products.

Li Zhen laughed at his own evaluation in his heart. His boss once laughed at him for not being able to comprehend style, but only knowing how to study technology, which may have some truth.

Xiaoying bent down outside the car door, waved to him, and said something, so lightly that he didn't hear it, it was just something like being careful on the road.Through the car window, he smiled and nodded to her, and then watched her walk in the door.

She soon became a beautiful and lively dot on the green lawn.A few years later, she was still so beautiful, and he found that he still loved her so much.

Perhaps, she will never understand how much he loves her.

Li Zhen watched his wife's figure quietly until he was completely out of sight, then restarted the car and drove forward.

In Kelan Company, Xiaoying joined the project team directly led by Fan Zhijun.

It has been more than a month since he talked about Ke Lan's plan to her, and the project team has just been established. There are three members including Lian Xiaoying, and these three members, except Xiaoying, who was recruited directly by Fan Zhijun Those who came in, the other two had other responsibilities, and the Shen project was just a side job for them.

Three days after joining the company, Xiaoying further learned that Fan Zhijun's vice president was not as enviable as he imagined. As early as half a year ago, he lost the trust of the executives because of a wrong decision. It's empty, and there is a possibility of leaving at any time.And this sign of the general trend was not revealed at all during his interview with Xiaoying, which shocked Xiaoying and admired his composure at the same time.

Knowing the dangerous situation Fan Zhijun was facing, she also became more aware of his determination to take down the Shen family. Once he succeeds, he will be considered a good turnaround. Saying goodbye to Ke Lan, it is not like a loser left in despair.

For now, Xiaoying is the only full-time subordinate who is exclusively under the leadership of Fan Zhijun. The other two are just under the pretense of using a name to make up for his team. In view of this, Xiaoying has become the chief project to assist Fan Zhijun Assistant, to help him collect all materials and information related to Shen.

Before Xiaoying came, Fan Zhijun had actually done a lot of work on his own. He had collected almost all of Shen’s public information, including Shen’s and Shen Juncheng’s operations when they were in charge of Nanxiang. In the name of the company, I contacted the key person in charge of Shen's, but there were too few resources available for actual use, and there was no reliable person in Shen's to help introduce, so the contact work has been at a standstill.

Even so, Fan Zhijun in Xiaoying's eyes has never been discouraged. He will come up with new ideas every day. Although many of them can't be realized until he has actual cooperation with Shen, Xiaoying still feels his intentions and dedication to the company. With a keen sense of marketing, I really don't know why Ke Lan would exclude such a practical and capable soldier.

From a personal emotional point of view, Xiaoying is very willing to help Fan Zhijun achieve his wish to capture the Shen family. This emotion is especially strong when seeing some middle-level managers in Kelan holding a perfunctory attitude towards Fan Zhijun, as if he is at any time. would leave Curran, helping him as if it were a waste of his time.

Xiaoying believes that as long as she is willing to call Shen Juncheng, there is a great possibility that he and Fan Zhijun will meet and chat. attitude has changed.

But Xiaoying still has a clear rationality to restrain herself. She knows that it is not right for her to join Kelan because of that special reason. Assist Fan Zhijun, and follow his steps to move forward step by step. She wants to convince herself that as long as they work hard and work hard, they can succeed without external force.

After returning to the workplace, people are enriched, but there are also many troubles.

After get off work every day, Xiaoying has to go to her grandmother's house to bring Xiaozhi back, and then cook a simple meal with raw and cold ingredients bought in advance on weekends. Li Zhen is still very busy, and if he doesn't come back to eat, Xiaoying doesn't have much thought cook.

After dinner, she had to bathe Xiaozhi, tell stories, and put him to sleep. Only when Xiaozhi closed his eyes would she be completely relieved, but usually it was too late.

This day, because Xiaoying promised Xiaozhi to take him to the supermarket to play after dinner—there were no vegetables and fruits left in the refrigerator—Xiaozhi ate very fast, and soon threw his empty rice bowl to the supermarket. As soon as Xiaoying took a photo, she waited for her praise with arrogance and arrogance.

Xiaoying glanced at the white rice stains on his cheeks, suppressed a smile and told him to wipe his face clean. Seeing her son running to the bathroom quickly, Xiaoying sighed in her heart, material temptation is really powerful.

Before the dishes could be washed, Xiaoying took her son and set off.

The house prices in their community have skyrocketed in the past two years. One of the reasons is that a large supermarket was fortunately built across the road from the community, which made the lives of the surrounding residents much more convenient.In addition, because of the large size of the community itself and its proximity to the most popular emerging industrial park in City H, the surrounding facilities such as hospitals, banks, schools and other institutions have gradually been improved, making it the first choice for upstarts in City H to live.

Originally, Li Chen considered taking advantage of the rising housing prices to sell the house and live in a bigger place, but he couldn't find a more convenient and practical place than here, so he gave up.

Xiaozhi always picks up things in the supermarket endlessly. He is curious about everything and wishes to tear apart all the products to see what is inside.After Xiaoying selected the items she wanted to buy, she coaxed Xiaozhi away from the shelf at the cost of a model car.

After receiving the bill and walking out of the supermarket, Xiaoying carried the heavy bag in one hand, and held Xiaozhi tightly in the other to prevent him from running around. It was really strenuous and exhausting.

After going down the steps, Xiaozhi suddenly pointed to a royal blue car opposite and shouted to Xiaoying, "Look, Mom, Dad's car!"

Xiaoying looked at it intently, and it really looked like it, and then turned sideways to look at the license plate, it really was.

Overjoyed, she dragged her son across the street, "Take Dad's car back, it will be easier for us." She didn't think about why he parked the car here.

In front of the car, before she could get close, the passenger door of the car was suddenly pushed open, and a girl with ponytails got out of the car with a smile on her face, then turned around and smiled sweetly into the car, saying something What, he closed the car door and crossed the street.

Xiaoying stayed there for a while, until Li Zhen saw her first, got out of the car and walked towards her, then she remembered to react, smiled hastily and asked, "Why are you here?"

There was no abnormal expression on Li Zhen's face, and he explained with a smile, "The one just now was an assistant in our department. She happened to work overtime with us today, and she said she wanted to buy something in Laile, so I drove her here along the way."

He picked up his son and glanced at the toy car in his hand, "Hey! Xiaozhi has added a new car?"

"Yeah!" Xiaozhi nodded triumphantly, "This one is purple, I now have seven colors!"

"Get in the car, let's go home together!" Li Zhen stuffed Xiaozhi into the car, and then came to help Xiaoying carry the things. She was still a little dazed, and let him put the bag in the trunk.

Suddenly Li Zhen smiled and said: "Last time I told you that I saw a person in the company who looked a lot like you, but it was actually her."

Only then did Xiaoying react a bit, and looked back towards the direction of the supermarket, only catching a delicate back of the other party.She laughed, "I don't think so, she's much younger than me."

After getting in the car, Xiaoying put her arms around her son in the back seat, and heard Li Zhen say again: "Her name is Zhou Ting, she is an intern who just arrived this year, she is very honest, and she is willing to work hard." She turned her head and glanced at her , "On this point, the two of you are not quite alike."

Xiaoying smiled out of the car window, and the doubts in her heart gradually dissipated.

Early in the morning, as soon as Xiaoying arrived at the company, Fan Zhijun summoned her to the office. Seeing his excited expression, Xiaoying was both surprised and looking forward to it.

Fan Zhijun raised a thing in his hand to her, "This is the latest information I just got - the list of the main management personnel of Shen's new factory stationed in City H, come and see if there is anyone you know ? I heard that most of the new managers Shen Juncheng chose were brought over from Nanxiang!"

Xiaoying's heart skipped a beat, as if she had been confronted with a difficult problem without warning, but she still walked over quickly and took the piece of paper.

The list was basically full of unfamiliar faces. Xiaoying glanced through each one, and her heart gradually settled down. If she didn't know each other, she didn't need to intervene.

However, a familiar name suddenly jumped into her vision. It was Xia Bin. He was in Nanxiang's engineering department with Li Zhen back then, and he also liked to tease Li Zhen and her with others.Xiaoying looked at his title. He is now the manager of the engineering department, so he has also been promoted.

"How is it?" Fan Zhijun stared at her expectantly and asked.

"Uh..." Xiaoying was struggling in her heart. She really didn't want to step in, but when she raised her eyes, when her gaze touched Fan Zhijun who was exhausted, a sense of apology rose from the bottom of her heart.

What is she doing here?If she had never stayed in Nanxiang, how could Fan Zhijun give him a chance?Now, it was time for her to repay him, but she was also afraid that after she stepped in, she might involve many things that she didn't want to touch again.

Her heart was in a mess, and her delay in answering and the tangled expression on her face also gave Fan Zhijun a clear hint, "Xiaoying, do you know someone among them? It's okay to tell, I won't force you To contact the other party, but at least we can analyze and what to do next! I always firmly believe that doing marketing is dealing with people. If you can’t clearly grasp the person you want to contact, even if you have more Resources, definitely can't win!"

Xiaoying bit her lip, and finally convinced herself that she no longer pretended to be an outsider. She slowly slid her finger down, and finally landed on Xia Bin's name lightly, and said with some difficulty: "This person... I knew him before, but After three years, I don't know if he still..."

Before she could finish speaking, Fan Zhijun's face was filled with joy, and he snapped his fingers in the air, "This is a key person! Xiaoying, I knew that I would make no mistake in recruiting you. ——Come on, tell me quickly, what kind of person he is, and see if we can open a gap in him!"

In the evening, Li Zhen came back for dinner.He seemed to have something on his mind, and he was absent-minded even when his son talked to him, and he didn't hear it a few times.

He was rarely in such a state. Xiaoying looked at it strangely. Before she could ask, Li Zhen pushed his job and walked into the study, and he didn't come out until very late.

When Xiaozhi fell asleep, Xiaoying remembered Guo Jia's advice to her before, after thinking about it, she quietly got out of bed and walked to the guest bedroom and study room.

Li Zhen immersed himself in reading a magazine under the lamp, but he obviously didn't read it seriously, because Xiaoying noticed that his gaze had been staying above the lampshade.

Xiaoying walked behind him, put her hands on his shoulders, and rubbed them lightly, "Did you encounter any trouble? I see that you have been depressed since you came back today."

Li Zhen probably didn't expect Xiaoying to take the initiative to care about him so much. He smiled sincerely, pulled her to sit on the edge of the bed behind him, looked at her with gentle eyes for a long time, and then slowly said: "Today...someone called me Telephone."

Xiaoying didn't know why, so she looked at him with a puzzled smile, "Who?"

"Shen Juncheng." After speaking, he stared at Xiaoying intently.

Xiaoying was not on guard at all. For a moment, the smile on her face was out of touch with her thoughts. Fortunately, she came to her senses in time, restrained her smile, and murmured, "He...what did he call you for?"

In fact, Xiaoying's subtle moment of freezing just now did not escape Li Zhen's gaze. He paused for a moment, turned his gaze away, and slowly explained to her, "He will come to City H this weekend and wants to meet me. He didn't say anything." For whatever reason, just tell me that you must go.”

Xiaoying had already recovered at this time. In front of Li Zhen, she didn't want to show any signs of making him feel suspicious. After three years of being together as a husband and wife, she had already felt some of his temper. He himself was definitely not like what he showed. So generous and indifferent.

"Maybe, I want to talk to you about Shen's investment in building a factory in City H?"

Hearing this, Li Zhen turned his gaze to Xiaoying, "How do you know?"

Xiaoying made a slip of the tongue and brushed her hair embarrassingly, "Oh, I also heard from colleagues in the company that they are also...very interested in Shen."

Li Zhen's face was not as gentle as before, and he snorted lightly, and lay on his back on the bed, lost in thought. Xiaoying supported the bed with one hand, looked down at him, and neither left nor stayed.

Li Zhen suddenly asked again: "Will you go with me when I meet Shen Juncheng on the weekend?" He glanced at her with a faint light flickering in his eyes, "Didn't you know each other before?"

Xiaoying glanced at the half-smile look on his face, forced a smile and said, "What am I going to do, I have nothing to say to him."

She quickly stood up and walked towards the door, "I'm a little tired today, I'm going to bed first, and you should go to bed earlier."

"En." Li Zhen didn't get up from the bed, looked at her from a distance, and responded lightly, thoughtfully.

Back in the room, Xiaoying was still restless. Shen Juncheng wanted to see Li Zhen, why?It stands to reason that it could only be a business problem, but Xiaoying couldn't convince herself to feel at ease, especially Li Chen's indescribable expression when he mentioned this, as if he understood everything.

Xiaozhi turned over suddenly, his little hands were groping around, Xiaoying hurriedly reached out to hold his palms, Xiaozhi then calmed down, with a satisfied and down-to-earth expression on his little face, and fell into a deep sleep again.

Xiaoying pressed her face close to his, and listening to his even and smooth breathing, her disturbed mood gradually calmed down.

On Sunday night, Li Zhen went to the famous Tiantian Restaurant in City H for a dinner as scheduled. In a luxurious private room, he met Shen Juncheng who had not seen him for a long time.

Shen Juncheng also came alone, showing respect and importance to Li Zhen.

As soon as the door of the box opened, Li Zhencai appeared at the door. Shen Juncheng had already stepped forward to greet him, with a full smile on his face, he walked up to him, stretched out his hand, and held Li Zhen tightly, "Nice to meet you, Mr. Li!"

Li Zhen also responded with a smile, "Mr. Shen, you really know how to make fun of me!" Although Shen Juncheng was a few years younger than him, he was used to calling him "Xiao Li" according to everyone's name.

"Haha! How come! If you hadn't left Nanxiang, you would have been promoted to vice president by now, but you have today's results, I can guess it without thinking too much."

Although Li Chen was quite vigilant in his heart, this compliment was very useful to his ears, and he shook his head and laughed unconsciously.

Not seeing each other for three years, Shen Juncheng looks more and more handsome. What surprised Li Zhen even more is that he is much more outgoing and cheerful than before.

When the two of them worked together in the past, Shen Juncheng gave him the impression that he was pragmatic, willing to spend time and effort on products, but what he lacked at that time was the ability to communicate with ease. It is not very popular, unless he has a strong background.

Presumably, he has had a lot of training opportunities in the past three years, and his temperament has been sharpened a lot. At least on the surface, he is no longer the tender general manager of three years ago. The Shen Juncheng in front of him has long been This is not what it used to be.

The dishes were ordered by Shen Juncheng, and Li Zhen kept being modest, and besides, he didn't pay much attention to these eating and drinking things.

Shen Juncheng skillfully ordered several special dishes, and specially ordered a plate of spicy duck tongue for Li Zhen, and explained with a smile: "I remember when we used to eat together, you like this dish the most, and you always eat it!"

Li Zhen didn't expect him to be so careful, smiled gratefully and said: "I didn't expect you to remember."

Shen Juncheng leaned back in the chair with emotion, "I can vividly remember many things from the past."

His words seemed to have a reason behind the strings, Li Zhen couldn't help but give him an extra look, but there was no other deep meaning on Shen Juncheng's face, obviously, he came to Li Zhen today to discuss business.

Li Zhen drove by himself, so he insisted on not drinking. He only had a glass of juice, and Shen Juncheng had to taste the red wine alone and enjoy the exquisite night view outside the window.

"I haven't been to City H for a long time." He turned the chair around, pointed to a certain direction with his finger holding the wine glass and said to Li Zhen, "See, the building with the spire is H University—my alma mater. "

"Boss Shen also graduated from H University?" Li Zhen turned to him inquiringly, "That school is very good."

"No, I only studied there for one year, and then I switched to England." Shen Juncheng shrugged, "However, I always regard this place as my second hometown, and I always think that I can live here one day " He said, put down the wine glass, and said with a smile: "This wish is about to come true."

Li Zhen raised his eyebrows and looked at him with a smile, under the smile was a hidden stiffness.

Shen Juncheng leaned over to him, stared at Li Zhen seriously, and after a long while, he said slowly: "I have rented two factories in the high-tech industrial park here, and the formalities are almost done. The new company will open next month. The month is officially established, Li Zhen, come and help me!"
