obsessed with love

Chapter 143 Pervasive
As soon as Du Ruo entered the base early in the morning, he was stopped by Manager Xu in the corridor: "Team Leader Du, do you have time? If you have time, help me send this breakfast to the conference room for Mr. Xiao. Mr. Xiao will come early in the morning. The video conference has been up to now, and I haven't had breakfast yet!"

"Mr. Xiao came to the meeting so early?"

"Yeah, do you think it's easy to be a high-level executive? If the boss doesn't close his eyes, you won't be able to sleep! Mr. Xiao came to the meeting at six o'clock in the morning, so hurry up and deliver it!" Manager Xu handed the breakfast to Du Ruo and went busy.

Du Ruo looked at his watch, it was only 8 o'clock, and he couldn't help but sigh, it's not easy to be a leader.

The meeting room is on the second floor. Du Ruo opened the door and walked in. Mr. Xiao was sitting in front of the computer and taking notes seriously, while his assistant was sitting in the back with a sleepy look on his face.

Du Ruo walked over lightly, put the breakfast in his hand next to Mr. Xiao, and deliberately said: "Mr. Xiao, your breakfast!"

"Who sent you here? Take it out!" The meeting was interrupted, and Mr. Xiao unceremoniously vented his anger on Du Ruo, his tone was the leader's unreasonable reprimand.

After the reprimand, he immediately changed a respectful face and said to the computer screen: "I'm sorry, Mr. Qiao, you continue!"

Hearing the word "Mr. Qiao", Du Ruo was startled, raised his head, and saw Qiao Anming's cold and serious face on the computer screen close at hand...

After being stunned for a few seconds, he hurriedly took the breakfast on the table and rushed out the door.

"Mr. Qiao is really sorry. I guess it was Lao Xu who bought me breakfast on his own initiative. I can eat it when I go back to the office. Let's continue the meeting..."

"No need, the content of the meeting is basically discussed, you can go have breakfast! Also, treat your subordinates better in the future!"

"Understand, Mr. Qiao, you are right, I will pay attention to it in the future!"

Qiao Anming didn't say any more, just nodded and turned off the video.

On the top floor of the Shengan headquarters building, in the spacious office, the rising sun shines on the desktop through the blinds. Qiao Anming shut down the computer and rubbed his swollen temples with four fingers together, feeling extremely tired.

Just now she broke into his line of sight without warning, and he clearly heard the beating sound of his chest, like the sound of a piano that had been playing slowly and beautifully, suddenly breaking.Her appearance snapped the string at his fingertips.

The content of the meeting was not over yet, but he got confused because of her appearance, ended it hastily, and then leaned back on the chair weakly, thinking about her profile flashing on the screen.

She seemed to have lost a lot of weight, but looked in good spirits.

Qiao Anming closed his eyes and propped one hand against his forehead. He would only make such a weak movement when he was struggling with pain in his heart.

Then he picked up the landline on the table and dialed: "Manager Xu, add Du Ruo to the list of trainees who will come to Chongzhou this month."

"However, the trainers this time are all middle managers."

"Let's add it. She is the only salesperson transferred from the city. She has never been a team leader before. This kind of training will benefit her future career."

"Okay, I'll do it now..."

After hanging up the phone, Qiao Anming fell back in his chair again powerlessly.

There are some things that he cannot give, but there are some things that he has the ability to fight for and arrange for her.

The whole day, Du Ruo was still in shock.The indifferent and stern face of Qiao Anming on the screen kept appearing in his mind, and he looked at himself in the mirror repeatedly, did he have dark circles under his eyes?Is your hair messed up?If I knew I would see him, I should put on some makeup today!
After regretting, Du Ruo realized how much he longed to see him and how much he was afraid of seeing him.

At the end of the month, there will be a management training session, and we will stay at the Shangri-La Hotel in Chongzhou.

Du Ruo is the only woman among the trainees this time, and she has the lowest position, the youngest age, and the most terrible thing is that she is an out-and-out beauty. With all these things, she naturally receives a lot of care.

In a five-star hotel, someone is naturally responsible for carrying the luggage to the room, but male colleagues come over frequently and ask to help Du Ruo carry the luggage, which makes her a little flattered.

Thinking about when I was in Coship Pharmaceuticals, most of the departments were female colleagues, and it was considered friendly not to pinch her. How could I have received such treatment.She couldn't help but secretly amused herself, she, Du Ruo, was quite attractive when she walked out!

It was already evening when we arrived at the hotel, and it was time for dinner after check-in.

The people at the headquarters who arranged this training meeting are also humane, knowing that the journey is exhausting, so the dinner that night was arranged in the hotel restaurant.

After dinner, Du Ruo went back to his room to take a shower, changed his clothes and went downstairs. He found that many colleagues had gathered in the lobby of the hotel. He was asking the front desk of the hotel where is the best place for nightlife in Chongzhou.

That's right, the people who came to the training this time are all middle-level managers. They are basically middle-aged family men who sat in this position. They finally left their wives and children to come to the bustling city of Chongzhou. Naturally, they couldn't miss this great opportunity. Go out and be crazy.

Seeing Du Ruo approaching, her colleagues warmly invited her to go with her, but she refused with a smile.

No matter how beautiful and dazzling this strange city was, it didn't have any attraction for her, and the only thing that attracted her... She smiled, wrapped her coat tightly, and got into a taxi in front of the hotel.

"Master, please go to Shengan Pharmaceutical!"

The car drove out slowly and drove on the right road. There were bright lights on both sides, tall buildings everywhere, and building advertisements of Shengan Pharmaceutical could be seen everywhere.

Du Ruo lay at the window, like a voyeur, secretly browsing the city with Shengan LOGO branded everywhere, as if he could smell his breath even in the air.

Ever since the day Manager Xu informed her that she was also on the training list, she had been uneasy, thinking about what would happen to her if she really came to his city!But when she really got here, she felt inexplicably at ease.

Maybe when the yearning is strong to a certain extent, even people who can’t see him, even if they stay under the same sky as him, breathing the same inch of air is good.

Considering the gap, the car had already turned a corner, and the roadside sign read the words "Sheng'an Road" impressively.

"Miss, turn onto Sheng'an Road, and we'll be there in a few minutes." The driver said politely, but Du Ruo began to get nervous.

He clenched his fists all the way, and when he got out of the car, his palms were covered with a thin layer of sweat.

Turning around, the towering Shengan headquarters building is in front of you, and the big blue LED characters of "Sinan Pharmaceutical" on the top of the building are shining coldly in the dark night.

This is where he has been working, and this is the pharmaceutical kingdom he created!Really in line with his usual style, indifferent and deep.

Du Ruo opened the door and walked in, looking around. From time to time, people who got off work from overtime came out of the elevator, and then passed her with tired and numb faces.Du Ruo kept wondering, what position does this person who has just left hold in the company?Did Qiao Anming see Qiao Anming at work every day? Suddenly, he walked to the reception desk.

There is also an employee on duty at the reception desk. Seeing someone coming in, he politely smiled and asked, "Excuse me, who are you looking for?"

"I'm looking for... Qiao Anming!" Suddenly, Du Ruo said his name, but the professional and enthusiastic receptionist quickly connected to Qiao Anming's office phone: "Mr. Qiao, there is a lady downstairs Looking for you! Do you need to call her up?"

I don't know what was said there, but the reception lady was holding the microphone, and asked Du Ruo politely: "Miss, may I ask your name?"

Only then did Du Ruo suddenly realize that she had caused trouble, the conscience of heaven and earth, she really didn't have the extravagant hope to see him when she came here.

"Miss, miss...?" Seeing her staying there, the receptionist urged her politely again: "We, Mr. Qiao, are waiting for your answer..."

"I...it's fine. I didn't come to him. I said something wrong...sorry..." I ran away, leaving the receptionist with an innocent face to apologize to Qiao Anming: "I'm sorry, Mr. Qiao, that lady Said she was fine and left..."

……

Qiao Anming hung up the phone, and the signature pen in his hand was put down heavily.

He knew it was her, and just heard her voice on the phone, but since she came, why didn't she come up again?Afraid he won't see her?still…

Du Ruo ran out of the building like a deserter, took a taxi, and fled all the way into the hotel room. Thinking back on his embarrassment just now, he wished he could dig a hole and get in.

Then he couldn't help regretting, if she answered that her surname was Du, would he agree to see her?If she went up to see him, what would he say?
The more I thought about it, the more entangled I was, and the more I thought about it, the more upset I became, and finally I simply called the room service, then stripped off and dived into the warm bath.

Thoughts stopped, but the body that had been frozen all night slowly recovered.

Qiao Anming took a glass of clear water and stood upright in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, carefully studying the dazzling neon lights in his eyes.

Chongzhou is much more prosperous than Tongcheng. In the past 20 years, many places have become almost unrecognizable to locals. The Shangri-La Hotel was completed last year and opened at the beginning of the year. It is only a starting price away from Shengan Building. At this moment, Qiao Anming looked over from where he was standing, and the golden letters of Shangri-La were not far from him in front of his left. Even if they were mixed with neon lights, they were particularly conspicuous.

In the building with those letters on it, there is a room in which Du Ruo lives. She came here half an hour ago, and then disappeared very quickly.

This was the closest time to him since seeing her in the video last time, so Qiao Anming clearly remembered the feeling of surprise, palpitation, and even a little panic when he heard her voice on the phone just now.

Missing is indeed a pervasive thing, and it will not gradually weaken due to the distance and time of separation.

His emotions have been disturbed so badly by her, even her voice can make him unable to work, so how can he deceive himself again.Or just go all out and let yourself think about it once?Longing does not violate the law, nor does it involve morality, and there are so many regrets and hardships in life, he just wants to pretend to be alone in his heart in the dead of night, when he is tired, it is a rare one, is it possible?
Thinking this way, his longing became more and more intense. When he couldn't hold it back, he wanted to call Du Ruo, but what should he say?Or just ask her if she is used to it when she comes to Chongzhou for the first time?Or ask her if she is comfortable with her work in Wu Mushan?

How hypocritical, Qiao Anming, are you going to take her for a fool, or yourself?
Or stop fighting, but what should I do if I don’t fight the anxiety in my heart?
Qiao Anming's hand holding the water glass tightened, and after careful consideration, he pulled out the phone. Halfway through the number dialing, the phone rang first, and when it was answered, it was Ren Peiyin's voice.

"An Ming, you're still working overtime at the company."

Qiao Anming was a little surprised, and looked at the wall clock on the wall, it was past 10 o'clock, she would never call him so late, so she replied: "Well, I'm about to go back, you called me so late, what's the matter? "

"It's okay, I just heard from Gu Lan that you will stay in Chongzhou this week, right?"

"Well, there is a training meeting this week, why are you asking this?"

"Just asking. That's fine, you should go back early. When I called Gu Lan just now, she didn't seem to have rested yet. She was waiting for you to go back... It's just work, don't work too hard..." Ren Peiyin warned a few more words, Hang up the phone quickly.

This was really the fastest time his mother hung up the phone in recent years, but it left Qiao Anming in a daze!What's wrong with this old lady?The call in the middle of the night, is it because he is too busy with work, or because he has neglected Gu Lan?
Qiao Anming shook his head, took another sip of the half-cold water, and then turned around to clean up the computer.

As for the courage to hesitate to call Du Ruo for a long time, Ren Peiyin lost all his courage in an instant.

Qiao Anming usually works overtime and drives back by himself. When passing by Shangri-La, the car stops on the side of the road, looking at the stars and lights on the tall buildings, thinking about which light lives under that person!
As soon as Ren Peiyin hung up the phone to Qiao Anming, she turned around and dialed another number: "...he will be in Chongzhou this week, just follow what you said, hurry up, he is too busy, can you figure out his itinerary? It's easy... um... But we have signed the contract, no matter whether it is successful or not, we are not allowed to reveal a word..." Ren Peiyin repeatedly explained and confirmed before hanging up the phone anxiously, and Chen Ma was leaving with a glass of milk come over.

"Old lady, I have reheated this milk twice, you should drink it first."

Ren Peiyin took the milk cup, took a sip of it, and said to Chen Ma uneasy: "I just called the agency, and the previous matter is settled."

"Is that... so settled?"

"Well, that's it, it's settled..."

"Then you are not afraid of Mr. Qiao losing his temper?"

"What are you afraid of? He was born by me. How can a mother be afraid of her son?" Ren Peiyin's face was calm, but she couldn't figure it out in her heart.

She made this decision as a "draw from the bottom of the pot". No matter whether it is successful or not, the Qiao family must be turned upside down, but she has no choice. She can only "cut first and play later". At this time, the result is more important than the process!
Ren Peiyin comforted herself all the way, and finally drank the cup of hot milk, and when she handed the cup to Chen Ma, she sighed helplessly: "He can't help but blame me. At my age, I have enjoyed all the blessings that I deserve." Now, the only regret I have is not being able to hug my grandson..."
