fish in the financial tsunami

Chapter 11 Su Xiaoyu's Bowl of Fish Soup (2)

The woman standing behind her was wearing a professional suit, with a slender figure and snow-white skin. It was Bei Lining who had just met this morning. At this time, she looked at Su Xiaoyu and nodded, and said simply, "Hi."

"Miss Bei, why are you here?" Impressed by this Miss Bei from Wall Street, Su Xiaoyu laughed.

Bei Lining came to participate in the project team meeting, which was actually just a regular meeting of the second phase of the operation plan. I didn't expect her to be so dedicated, but she came here after this point. Su Xiaoyu followed her into the conference room, and she could see it at a glance. By the time everyone was sitting on both sides of the conference table, Tang Zhongwen was talking, and he just nodded when he saw the two of them.

Bei Lining was still the same as in the morning, asking questions from time to time. When she spoke, her gestures were strong and her aura was full. Fish still feels admiration.

Thinking about Su Lei's dinner invitation, Su Xiaoyu seldom lost his mind during the meeting, and felt anxious. Fortunately, the meeting was not long. After the end, Tang Zhongwen brought Bei Lining into his office, guessing that they continued to fight. Su Xiaoyu When Xiaoyu walked back to his desk, he couldn't help but sigh a little.

The phone on the table rang, and she reached out to pick it up. It was Li Jun, "Xiaoyu, we are all eating in the big meeting room. Today is sushi, do you want to come together?"

"I'm not going to eat today, I have an appointment with someone else." Su Xiaoyu answered softly, a little embarrassed, but fortunately Li Jun didn't ask any further questions, and ended the call with a reply.

As soon as he put down the phone, the phone rang, still vibrating in his close pocket, with a numb feeling.

It was Chen Sulei's voice who greeted with a smile, "Hi, Xiaoyu, go downstairs."

She thought about being reserved, but the sudden joy spread like a cluster of small flames from her eardrums, slightly hot, causing her to bite her lips when she answered, trying to restrain that strange feeling.

When I walked into the elevator, it was very empty inside. It was already past the off-duty time, and there was no one around. Su Xiaoyu stood upright in front of the door, and her current appearance was clearly reflected on the mirror door. Looking at it, she became annoyed. The suit I am used to feels so dull at this time, and my hair, I must not have dried my hair thoroughly before going to bed, and now the ends of my hair are a bit messy, how can I look like this...

But the speed of the elevator's descent did not slow down because of her annoyance, and it soon reached the lobby on the ground floor. When I looked up, I saw the familiar car, which was dazzling in the night.

Her heartbeat was getting faster and faster, and she couldn't control it. When she looked again, Chen Sulei had already pressed the car window, looked at her from a distance and smiled.

She had already walked outside the gate, and there was the sound of wind in her ears. It was the beginning of April in a blink of an eye, but the wind under the building was still strong, blowing her cheeks and blowing her hair.

The place where I am used to walking every day, the strong wind that I am used to every day, but Su Xiaoyu suddenly has the illusion that there is warmth in the wind, the illusion that the air is moist, and the illusion that if you take a step forward, a flower will bloom in your heart .

"Come in, Xiaoyu, let's go eat." Chen Sulei pushed the door of the passenger seat open from inside, and rolled his eyes at her.

The door was pushed open again, and several people came out chatting and stopped in unison when they saw this scene, and one of them even asked, "Su Xiaoyu?" His voice was full of uncertainty.

Su Xiaoyu was about to get into the car when her name was called suddenly. She turned her head and looked over in a hurry, and it was Stanley who called her, with Tang Zhongwen and Bei Lining standing beside her, and all three eyes fell on her and Chen Sulei The eyes are very different.

It was rare for him to run out of the company to have dinner and they bumped into him, Su Xiaoyu was stunned, he didn't know what to say, but Chen Sulei pushed the door down and smiled in that direction, "Li Ning, are you back? "

The astonishment in Beilining's eyes had faded away, and now he regained his professional expression, nodded and replied, "I have a domestic project, come back to work, Mr. Chen, long time no see."

They actually knew each other, Su Xiaoyu was stunned for the second time, Bei Lining continued to move forward after greeting, and did not introduce Chen Sulei to the other two people beside him, it was very cool.

Before leaving, Tang Zhongwen glanced at Su Xiaoyu again, and didn't say much, but Su Xiaoyu was already depressed, and the content in the boss's eyes was clear, just one word - Deadline!

Well, she's getting ready for the night tonight.

She was bowing her head silently, the top of her head felt warm, it was Chen Sulei's finger, stroking her hair, a very light gesture, so familiar as she had done thousands of times.

"Come on, let's eat."

Involuntarily sitting in the car, Su Xiaoyu comforted herself, after dinner, eating in the conference room is not the same time as eating outside, and she will return to the company after eating, she is confident that the task will be completed before the deadline.

Thinking about it this way, he felt better, and when the car door closed, he also sat in, not in a hurry to drive, and first glanced at her, with a smile in his dark eyes.

His face is close at hand, overlapping with the images that appear in her mind from time to time every day, those small fragments that appear from time to time, the smiling face when he picked up the sandwich for the first time, the soft laughter on the phone, the slightly curved Narrow and long eyes, and when talking to her, occasionally revealing a gentle tone like that of a child.

When it was over, she was so happy, she felt filled with happiness before she ate.

"What do you want to eat?" His smile gradually deepened as he spoke, still looking at her.

When Su Xiaoyu came back to his senses, the last look of Lord Boss slowly passed before Su Xiaoyu's eyes, and he couldn't help but feel cold behind his back, and he became more sober when he spoke again, "Just eat something around here, I have to go back to the company in a while. "

I was still a little annoyed after thinking about it, and added another sentence, "Sorry, this project is very rushed, and I don't have much time..."

He didn't answer, but turned around and started the car.

The car turned out of the building, and it was still the same path as last time. It was just beside the building, along the river, and it was dinner time again. Both lanes were fully occupied by cars, and even the best cars could only move forward slowly.

Su Xiaoyu looked out the window in confusion, "Where are you going?"

"Don't worry." He was dialing the phone, and when he heard her question, he turned his head and blinked at her.

Why do you have this expression again?Su Xiaoyu felt dizzy after being shocked at close range.

It was really close, the car turned directly into a private house at the end of the road, before Su Xiaoyu was surprised, the car had already stopped.

The financial district is very expensive. There are only three buildings in this community. They are all high-rise buildings with strict access control. There are uniformed doormen standing at the gates of each building. When the car stops, they come to pull the door and greet Chen Sulei. "Mr. Chen, long time no see."

Su Xiaoyu sat still in the car and looked at him with wide eyes. Chen Sulei had already got out of the car. At this moment, she looked back at her and smiled, "I ordered delivery, come on."

Seeing that she was not moving, he stretched out his hand to pull her again, his movements and expressions were natural, Su Xiaoyu didn't notice for a moment, and he was pulled out of the car in a blink of an eye.

The doorman took the keys and drove the car away. Chen Sulei led her in. The serviced apartment of the hotel, the lobby is magnificent, no one moves around, even the elevator needs to press the code, and there is no one in it. She stands behind him, Chen Sulei He was not a tall and burly man, with a slender back, which looked good from any angle, but she was nervous and didn't know what to say, so she struggled for a long time without making a sound.

He said to have dinner together, and he said to pick her up in person, but she really didn't expect that this was the place to eat, how many times did they meet?Whatever the case, this came too soon, right?what to do?Is it too late for her to refuse at this time?

The elevator door opened, Chen Sulei went out and opened the door according to the password, turned around and saw Su Xiaoyu was still standing at the elevator door, looking at him with big eyes, arched eyebrows, with a conflicted expression on his face, like a carrot facing A little rabbit who thinks about major events in life.

Her little thought was clear, Chen Sulei couldn't help laughing, then stretched out his hand and opened the door and said, "Don't worry, I won't eat you, it's not time yet."

Being seen through her mind, Su Xiaoyu was so embarrassed that her face immediately turned red, and she didn't dare to raise her head when she entered the door.

The room is very simple, the furniture is all black and white, it can be seen that there are no people living there, and there are no bits and pieces.

The table has been neatly arranged, the bowls and plates are exquisite, simple three dishes and one soup, and the soup bowl is still steaming. Su Xiaoyu stood by the table with a look of wonder, and couldn't help asking curiously, "When did these things happen?" Prepared? It's amazing."

"I called just now." Chen Sulei answered briefly, and added after looking at her expression, "All restaurants near this point have to wait for a table, and you have to go back to the company."

Is this sentence an explanation?Su Xiaoyu took half a beat to understand, and nodded involuntarily.

"drink wine?"

She shook her head, drinking?She drinks very little, in fact, she doesn't drink at all. Wouldn't drinking be her own death?

He didn't insist either, he smiled and motioned her to move his chopsticks.

The food is Shanghai cuisine. I don’t know which master made it. The taste is very authentic. Recently, Su Xiaoyu eats almost three meals a day at the company. It’s either pizza or sushi. It’s a long-lost home-cooked dish. After taking a sip, he sighed contentedly.

"Is it tasty?"

"Well, it's delicious."

He smiled, reached out to spoon the soup, and pushed the small bowl in front of her, "Are you tired? Eat more."

Short ribs and wax gourd soup, served in a sky-blue porcelain bowl with tangled branches and leaves around the edges, and it was still a little hot. When Su Xiaoyu took it, she held the side of the bowl with both hands, and the warmth spread from her fingertips all the way to her. heart.

Because of the warmth, Su Xiaoyu was distracted after a while before remembering to answer the question, "Fortunately, I'm not too tired, but I always feel that I don't have time to sleep."

"That's not tired?" He smiled, and then slowly added, "If you have a goal, you don't feel tired, right?"

She also laughed, for some reason, just inexplicably happy.

After a few more mouthfuls, Su Xiaoyu remembered something, and asked him, "By the way, do you know Miss Bei?"

"Li Ning?" He nodded, "I know, very familiar."

"She's amazing." Su Xiaoyu sighed, thinking of Bei Lining's demeanor in the meeting room.

"How powerful?" He smiled slightly.

"It's just very powerful." Su Xiaoyu put down his chopsticks, imitated Bei Lining's way of speaking in a meeting, and waved his hand specially to emphasize his tone.

The petite Su Xiaoyu imitated the tall and powerful Bei Lining, the contrast was too great, Chen Sulei couldn't help laughing, and even reached out to touch her hair while smiling, her gestures were not heavy, as if she was just a child.

In fact, she was loved by her parents since she was a child, and she is no stranger to this kind of action, but every time he touches her, she feels happy and a little embarrassed, her cheeks are hot.

"That's it?" came his voice again.

"Huh? Isn't that amazing? In the meeting room." She was surprised.

"Then she is being polite to you. I saw her in the conference room back then. She was a venture capitalist and was famous for being very powerful. In the middle of the meeting, she slapped the table in front of a large group of bosses, scaring her." They were stunned, it was wonderful."

Slapping the table... In Su Xiaoyu's mind, the image of Bai Lining in business attire standing up abruptly and slapping the table uncontrollably, even if it was just an imagination, made her shiver involuntarily.

"It's amazing, I can't..." Su Xiaoyu murmured this sentence while holding the chopsticks, completely convinced.

"Okay, you are different." She looked so cute, and when he moved his fingers, as if he had become conscious, he reached over and gently scratched her cheek.It's really interesting to see a bright red float up where my finger slides. How can there be a girl who likes to blush so much?

Her face was hot again, she didn't need to look to know what she looked like now, why was she always in such a state in front of this man?Feeling powerless against herself, Su Xiaoyu lamented in her heart.

It took a while before he spoke again, "What's different? Why don't I think so."

"Then it's the same." He blinked his eyes, doing his best.

Dissatisfied, she yelled in a low voice, "Where is it the same!" After speaking, she was stunned for a moment, and she couldn't help herself, and she burst out laughing.

He laughed too, leaned over after laughing, and kissed her lips lightly.

It was a very short kiss. It was just a joke at first. I didn't expect this little fish to taste so delicious. The warm and soft feeling under the lips, when I let go, I suddenly felt a little reluctant. I didn't want her to know how I felt, so I just looked at it. He smiled into her eyes, and was pleased to see her now, blushing like a child, completely unresponsive.

Unexpectedly, he would kiss her, Su Xiaoyu was still in a state of shock, her face was raised slightly, her cheeks were blushing, and her almond-like eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of mist, full of panic, and it was a long time before she found her own love. Voice, "Su Lei...why?"

"Huh?" Didn't hear clearly, he asked with a smile.

She took a breath, summoned up the courage to ask again, "Why? Do you, like me?"

like?He looked at her silently, and his body started to move again, wanting to kiss her again, wanting to touch her again, the desire moved, if it was those women he was familiar with, maybe the two of them had already had a good time in bed now, but she was still a Child, he hadn't thought of finding a child for himself—a trouble for himself.

But she just talked about liking, a kiss, she just said liking...

What a child, different from the women he was used to.

How to be attracted to a child...

It was a miracle, and he still couldn't figure out why.I have been single for many years, and of course there are women, but the people I associate with are all of the same kind, calm and self-controlled, we get together when we get along, and separate when we don't get along. I don't reject physical enjoyment, and I never talk about feelings.

To meet her, to be attracted to her, to reject her occasional overtures, to find her more interesting.

Su Xiaoyu was in a daze. She couldn't believe that he kissed her, just like she couldn't believe it every time she got along with him and every phone call he made during this time.I vaguely think that he likes me, but every time I ask myself how is it possible, I didn't expect to ask it out of my mouth now, and I regret it after asking, and my mind is buzzing.

It felt like it had been a long time, but in fact it should have only been a few seconds, when his voice finally sounded in his ear, speaking in a slow and simple way, looking into her eyes and smiling.

"Xiaoyu, I am very happy to be with you, I feel happy, how about you?"

What kind of answer is that?Did he answer?Still no answer?
But she was suddenly happy in her heart, Su Xiaoyu couldn't help but nodded without noticing it for a while.

With his face still in front of his eyes, those dark eyes slowly curved up, then he lowered his head and kissed her again.

The four lips intersected, and the feeling of weightlessness and weakness just now came again. Her legs were weak and she couldn't stand stably. He also noticed that, smiled almost inaudibly, and used some strength to hug her hands.

Her kiss was so delicious, as sweet as tiramisu, he couldn't bear to let go, his arms gradually tightened, and he lost control.

Those blurred fragments in memory from a long time ago flashed in his mind, those things he thought he would never think of again, the feeling he thought would never come back again, what he liked, what he didn't like, what he wanted to keep Yes, what you want to forget, just pass by.

His heart is moved, or he can keep her. It has been a long time since he had such a thought, maybe because he has been alone for too long, or maybe because there are fewer and fewer things that make him feel happy.

But she is still young, and there are many things that she may not understand or accept.

I can't understand the illusory words like like or love, which don't have any practical meaning; I can't understand the things that make a man and woman attract each other, and no one can predict how long it will last; let alone understand that the so-called forever is always like this or that reincarnation.

Also, I can't understand him.

Not knowing what was going on in Chen Sulei's mind at all, Su Xiaoyu, who was so weak from being kissed and finally able to breathe independently again, just wanted to run away, but he didn't intend to let go at all, his dark eyes lingered on her face, as if After confirming something, his eyes gradually softened, his lips swept across her cheeks, and finally landed on her earlobe, biting her gently.
