What do you want in life

Chapter 64 Don't Want to Lose Your Smile (15)
Thinking of her indifferent attitude towards Li Zhen in the bathroom in the morning, Xiaoying's heart softened suddenly.Li Zhen shouldn't treat her so rudely, but she believes that he doesn't want to be like this in his heart, but he can't control his emotions. Besides, they had agreed when they got married that even if the sky fell, there would be no overnight feud. If one party seeks peace first, the other party must give each other a step to get down accordingly.

After a day of intertwined conflicts, Xiaoying once again chose to compromise, just because she knew very well that if she wanted to keep this home, she couldn't argue too much with him.Even if she insists on continuing the cold war indefinitely, not to mention that she and Li Zhen will feel uncomfortable, even Xiaozhi will feel strange and scared, that is definitely not the result she wants to see.

She took out the phone from her bag, played with it a few times in her palm, and rubbed her fingers back and forth on the letter keys, but she didn't dial immediately. She was thinking about how to start the call after the call was connected.

At this time, Li Zhenzhen and Zhou Ting were in the restaurant box. He drank a lot of red wine, and his already fair face was almost transparent, showing a faint blue color. Zhou Ting was shocked by that gloomy expression.

When he poured wine into his glass again, Zhou Ting snatched the bottle over in a hurry, "Boss, you can't drink any more."

Li Zhen didn't compete with her, he laughed a few times, "Xiao Zhou, I have a question to ask you."

Zhou Ting hid the wine bottle under her feet, turned around cautiously, "Ask."

"Now...do you still think about your ex-boyfriend?"

Zhou Ting's heart skipped a beat, and her face suddenly became unnatural, "No!"

"Really?"

"Of course it's true!" Thinking of her ex-boyfriend's heartless expression, she still couldn't help gnashing her teeth.

"Then when you get married in the future, will you love your husband well?"

"……meeting."

As Zhou Ting answered, her face turned into a fever unconsciously. Li Zhen would never discuss this kind of intimate topic with her before. In the company, he is not to mention a very serious person.She observed Li Zhen secretly, and found that his eyes were very red, probably because he was drunk.

Li Zhen smiled and nodded vigorously, "What a good girl." He raised his glass violently and drank the remaining wine in the glass. But thinking of others, her heart...has never been by your side for a day." Having said this, his face suddenly twisted.

Zhou Ting was confused, and felt that he seemed to be talking about herself, but everyone in the company knew that Li Zhen and his wife had always had a good relationship, and they had never heard of any quarrels.

"How is this possible?" Zhou Ting argued indiscriminately for the woman she didn't know, "A woman is willing to marry you because she loves you, of course no woman is foolish enough to joke about her own happiness... "

"No! No!" Li Zhen narrowed her eyes and shook her head, "She married me because she wanted to hide from someone... But after all these years of marriage, she still has that person in her heart, and she thought she was covering it up very well , thought I didn’t know anything, hehe!”

He laughed miserably, "She regards me as a refuge, thinking that as long as she hides in, everything will be calm. As for me, I am more stupid than her, stupid enough to think that I can really save her!"

Zhou Ting was terrified when she heard that, the meaning of Li Zhen's words was quite obvious, she could also see that he was really sad, his sadness, for some reason, made her very sad.

She didn't know how to comfort him to make him feel better.She walked over and poured some juice into his glass, "Boss, you are drunk, drink some juice."

"No, I'm not drunk." He pushed away her hand, turned his gaze to her face, but lost focus, "Now, that person is back looking for her again... Tell me, what should I do?"

Zhou Ting couldn't bear the two desperate but eager eyes he cast on her face, as if she was his savior, "You really drank too much, but nothing happened, really, I... "

Li Zhen's mobile phone on the table rang suddenly as if echoing her, Zhou Ting's eyes lit up, "It must be your wife calling, look, she still cares about you very much!"

Li Zhen tilted his head and stared at his mobile phone for a while, Zhou Ting had already picked it up and handed it to him, with an anxious expression on his face, "Hurry up and pick it up!"

"Help me pick it up." Li Zhen said unexpectedly.

"Ah?" Zhou Ting was embarrassed and nervous, and complained in a low voice, "Boss—"

"Hurry up!" Li Zhen's tone suddenly changed, as if he had given her an unquestionable task in the company.

Zhou Ting was in a daze, frowning and struggling hard, what happened to her answering this call?
After hesitating, the ringing had already stopped.

She breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at Li Zhen with regret.

Li Zhen lay back in the soft chair, closed his eyes, and took a deep breath.

"Otherwise, you...call her back again?" Zhou Ting suggested nervously.

Li Zhen just remained silent, lying motionless with his eyes closed, as if he had fallen asleep.

The phone rang again, and Zhou Ting was shocked. She glanced at Li Zhen and did not move at all. She was worried for him. In desperation, she finally had the courage to pick it up, "Hello...you, hello!"

Xiaoying was startled when she heard a clear and pleasant female voice coming from the phone. She collected herself and said politely, "Sorry, I made a mistake."

"Wait—" Zhou Ting yelled out loudly to stop her from hanging up, "Are you looking for Li, Mr. Li?"

Xiaoying's heart sank, "Yes, is he there?"

Zhou Ting bit her lips with a bitter face, "He's here, he's..."

Li Zhen had already opened his eyes at this time, Zhou Ting only saw that his half-smile face was full of cunning as if he was watching a show, but she didn't notice the tension behind his relaxation.

"Can you let him answer the phone, please?" Xiaoying asked word by word.

"Yes, of course." Zhou Ting hurriedly handed the phone to Li Zhen like a hot potato, "She wants to talk to you."

Li Zhen drooped his hands and looked up at the corner of the ceiling with a dead expression.

Zhou Ting stomped her feet anxiously, "Boss, hurry up!"

Li Zhen finally stretched out his hand, took the phone over slowly, and put it next to his ear. He didn't speak, but he could hear Xiaoying's unsteady breathing. Laughing, but also want to find a place where there is no one to hide and cry.

"When will you come back?"

Li Zhenzhen wanted to throw the phone out directly, he would rather hear her scolding him loudly or crying, than in such a calm tone now.

"Do you care when I go back?" Li Zhen laughed dryly, "Are you wishing that I never go back? Are you wishing that if something happens to me, you can be satisfied, huh? Han Xiaoying, don't think I don't know what you think!"

Zhou Ting listened to his unrestrained, resentful and sharp words, secretly startled, this was the second time she was surprised by Li Zhen's out-of-control behavior in the car last time, but he didn't show the slightest The whole face was distorted in pain, and Zhou Ting lost her mind for a moment.

Only those who truly love each other can keep such an uncoordinated expression when they say such harsh words. She thought, if Mrs. Li Zhen didn't listen to him over the phone, if she could stand in front of him, Seeing his appearance at this moment, she will definitely understand how insincere he is.

Xiaoying was bitter, she originally wanted to reconcile with him with a gentle attitude, but she didn't expect that in just one day, he would treat her even harder - no matter who the girl next to him was, she was still willing to accompany him in the middle of the night. Certainly not ordinary.

"Li Zhen, if you still have any humanity," her voice trembled slightly, "if you still care about me and this family, come back now!"

Xiaoying suppressed the grievance in her heart, "As long as you come back immediately, I... don't care about anything."

There was a beeping sound from the receiver, and Li Zhen's hand holding the mobile phone dropped weakly. He stared blankly at the front, and suddenly smiled and said: "She told me to go back...she threatened me, and she knew to hold my phone." The weakness threatens me."

"Boss..." Zhou Ting called him anxiously, "You should hurry home! I'll call you a car, you can't drive in your current condition."

Seeing that Li Zhen didn't intend to stop herself, she hurriedly got up and ran towards the door of the box, and just put her hand on the doorknob. Suddenly, there was a sound of cups and plates falling to the ground behind her, and she turned her head in panic to see——Li Zhen There was still a large piece of tablecloth in his hand, and his body had already fallen to the ground along with the chair.

The doorbell rang, and Xiaoying, who was buried in the sofa, jumped up.

Opening the door, Li Zhen was supported by a man and a woman, with his head still drowsily resting on the man's shoulder.

"Cough... sister-in-law." Zhou Ting held back for a long time, and finally choked out a title that she didn't know was suitable.

Xiaoying stepped forward to let them in, and soon, Li Zhen was unloaded on the bed in the guest bedroom.When she came out, Zhou Ting thanked the man repeatedly and asked him to wait for her downstairs. Only then did Xiaoying realize that it was her brother who was in trouble.

Before leaving, my brother glanced at them curiously, probably not understanding the relationship between them.

The first time Zhou Ting met Xiaoying, she did not expect her to be so dexterous and elegant. The two had a brief chance to face each other, but they didn't know what to say.

In the end, it was Xiaoying who spoke first, her tone neither salty nor weak, "...Thank you for sending him back."

"Sister-in-law," Zhou Ting guessed that she had misunderstood, and explained carefully, "I am an assistant in Li Zhen's department, and he and I...we have nothing. , he just said that on the phone, in fact, he actually wanted to anger you, he told you..."

"Thank you! You don't need to explain, I understand." Xiaoying interrupted her incoherent confession, "It's getting late, you go back, be careful on the road."

Zhou Ting felt that she hadn't explained enough, because Xiaoying didn't have a relieved expression on her face, but she had already issued an order to evict the guest, and she had no reason to stay there with a faceless face, so she had to go out disgruntled.

"Sister-in-law, he, um, he's drunk." Before leaving the house, she didn't forget to tell Xiaoying.

Xiaoying nodded with restraint, and closed the door behind her.

Of course she remembered Zhou Ting, the pretty and lively girl who walked out of Li Zhen's car. As long as she cared enough about some things and people, even if she only saw them once, she would never forget them.She adjusted her emotions, took another deep breath, and walked into the room slowly.

Li Zhen was lying on the bed, sleeping in a daze.

Xiaoying looked at his back, and there were thousands of feelings stirred up in her heart, and in the end, only one feeling remained.

Anyway, he came back.

"Xiaoying, the Shen family started selling tenders this afternoon, and you will be responsible for the implementation." As soon as he entered Fan Zhijun's office, he gave orders to Xiaoying neatly.

"Why do you want me to buy it?" Xiaoying was surprised. In the past two days, Xiao Jiang and Wang Kai have been running to Shen's almost every day, and whoever is comfortable can bring it back.

Fan Zhijun laughed, "Xiaojiang and the others are busy with other things. Anyway, buying a bid is quite simple, just go through the formalities, and you don't need to discuss technical issues with others. You can take a trip when you have time!"

"But," Xiaoying still found it ridiculous, "Won't Wang Kai go to Shen's this afternoon?"

The reason why Xiaoying cares so much about him is because she is afraid of going to Shen's and seeing Shen Juncheng.

Maybe he can keep his promise and not take the initiative to disturb her normal life, but she can't guarantee that he will be so calm when he sees her when he sees her - the last accident made her clearly realize that the two of them are still It is best not to meet.

Fan Zhijun quickly wiped his nose with his fingers, and looked at Xiaoying a little embarrassed, "I understand what you mean... Actually, it's like this, it's Shen's request... You go to buy the tender, and they will accept it. "

"Ridiculous!" Xiaoying blurted out excited by this statement.

When her gaze met Fan Zhijun's, she found that the inconceivable emotion in Fan Zhijun's eyes was not the same as hers. He seemed to have sensed the truth behind the incident, but he didn't express any opinions, just smiled and persuaded, "Customers are like this sometimes, they have all kinds of strange requests. But there is no way, who let him be a customer, it's okay if you just go for a trip, besides, Wang Kai is with you, how about it, just go for a while." Let's go, huh?"

Fan Zhijun was talking to her in a negotiating tone, Xiaoying couldn't get angry for a while, she knew that Shen Juncheng must be playing tricks, other than that, she couldn't think of any reasonable explanation.

Even though she was angry in her heart, Xiaoying couldn't express it to Fan Zhijun, she held back a bit, she didn't want to embarrass Fan Zhijun any longer, she nodded and asked, "What time is this afternoon?"

"Wang Kai is over at 01:30, you can go with him." Fan Zhijun hurriedly said, his face beamed with joy, and his affection for Xiaoying increased a bit, now he is almost sure that Xiaoying and someone from the Shen family There is an extraordinary relationship. In this matter, if she is Maxima, then he is undoubtedly the luckiest Bole.

In the afternoon, he was with Wang Kai. He had no capital, and he said whatever he wanted to say. He didn't take it seriously for asking Xiaoying to buy the tender, but he didn't know the inside story, and only thought it was Fan Zhijun's idea.

"Our President Fan is too fussy. We have to send another person to cover such a trivial matter. Alas, it is not easy to get a big client now. We have to pay so much attention to the details. It is really difficult in the world."

Xiaoying just smiled and said nothing.

Wang Kai continued: "I hope Mr. Fan can take this project down, so that he can still count on Xianyu to turn around, otherwise." He didn't continue talking, but just shrugged and shook his head.

"He...how did he do this?" Xiaoying couldn't help asking. She knew something about Fan Zhijun's past, but she didn't know anything about the inside story, except that he was now out of favor.

"Well, it's always a matter of messing around with the superiors. I'm not very clear about it. It's not simple anyway." He looked back and nodded at Xiaoying, emphasizing, "It's not simple."

Xiaoying felt that the way he looked at her was like the expression of standing on the shore watching a drowning person struggling to death.

The person in charge of receiving the bidding documents at Shen's is Xiao Yuxin's subordinate, also a girl, who is burying her head in sorting out the materials at the desk, and several colleagues who came to buy the bidding documents are waiting patiently beside her.

When it was Xiaoying's turn, the girl asked her the name of the company, and said to her, "Your bid is at Ms. Xiao's place. She told you to come and find her in the office."

Xiaoying originally thought that Shen Juncheng insisted on coming by herself, but now that she heard the meaning, it seemed that someone else was there, and she felt a little apprehensive again, and walked out under the strange eyes of all her competitors.

Xiao Yuxin was indeed waiting for her in the office. When Xiaoying entered, the first thing she came into contact with was her sharp gaze. She had long since lost the gentleness and politeness of the last time we met. It could almost be said to be cold, even though her face still had With a smile.

"Hello, Ms. Xiao, I'm here to buy the bidding documents. Miss Chi said that our company's bidding documents are here with you, so let me come to you." With a weak smile blooming on Xiaoying's lips, she explained her intention as soon as possible.

Xiao Yuxin's gaze quickly swept across the table, Xiaoying followed her gaze and saw a document that looked like a tender document lying there.

"This time we invited twelve suppliers to bid, but your company, I'm still hesitating whether to sell you the bid."

Xiaoying didn't expect this result unexpectedly, she looked embarrassed, "Is... is there any problem?"

"The quality of your product sample inspection is not high, and you are at the bottom of all bidders."

Xiaoying tried her best to come up with a few words of excuse, "I don't know how other companies send samples, but the samples sent by Mr. Fan are indeed taken directly from the production line by colleagues of your company. Such data may Not as good as others, but it will be more authentic, we..."

She was interrupted by Xiao Yuxin before she finished speaking, "I only look at the results, not the process. If the results are not good, they are not good. I don't think it's possible to analyze this. So—" She looked at Xiao Xiao with a stern look. Ying, "I'm not going to sell the tender to you."

Xiaoying's face turned pale. She really didn't expect such a result. When she thought of Fan Zhijun still waiting helplessly at home, her heart felt heavy.

"However, it's useless if I say it's bad." Xiao Yuxin suddenly changed the subject, with a sarcasm smile on her lips, "Even if your products are indeed not competitive, Mr. Shen will support you... !"

She walked over slowly, picked up the clean and white tender document on the table, glanced at the cover, and smiled deeper, "Take it, this is your tender document."

Xiaoying's face was red and white, and she stood there for a long time, unable to move. She read the deep resentment and contempt in Xiao Yuxin's eyes, but how could she explain it to free herself from such an embarrassing situation right now? come out?
She didn't seem to be able to extricate herself. From the moment she stepped into Kelan, this day was already waiting for her.

Xiao Yuxin said that she is a result-oriented person, and Xiaoying is not. It is impossible for her to turn around and leave empty-handed, and go back to face Fan Zhijun empty-handed. This is her own choice. She has no way to turn back, she can only bear it.

When she went up to take the tender from Xiao Yuxin, the humiliation in her heart clearly spread again.

"Thank you." She thanked in a low voice, turned and walked towards the door.

"Remember to register with Ms. Chi." Xiao Yuxin admired her pale face, and slowly reminded her, "Oh, by the way, our President Shen is also in the company, I think you need to thank him, don't you? "

Xiaoying really wanted to turn her head and throw the bid documents on the ground, and walk out of here straight!

But her rationality does not allow her to do so. Over the years, she has lived in fear. If she could let it go, she would probably have let it go long ago.

She didn't turn her head to give Xiao Yuxin any response, turned the doorknob hard, bit her lip and walked out.

At one end of the corridor, there is a figure standing alone by the window, with his hands in his pockets, as if admiring the scenery outside the twelfth floor, the scenery is actually the same everywhere, the same is the mundane world.

The elevator was in the middle between Xiaoying and the man. She stared at the back for a long time, hugged the tender in her hand, and walked towards the elevator with her head bowed.When the heels of the shoes stepped on the smooth marble surface, there would inevitably be a crisp sound. When she stopped in front of the elevator and waited for the elevator to come up, Shen Juncheng slowly turned around and looked at her.

Xiaoying turned sideways to him, raised her head unrestrainedly, eagerly looking at the slow beating numbers, "5...6...7..."

"Is that why you don't want to see me?" A voice rang in her ears, and at some time, Shen Juncheng had already walked to her side.
