Some things don't happen when you don't want them to happen, and likewise, they don't end when you want them to.

——Chen Sulei

The next day Su Xiaoyu finally met the legendary super assistant Miss Lisa.

She had heard the name Lisa several times from Chen Sulei, but it was just the name. Master Wu would mention it occasionally, and he said a few more words than Mr. Boss, but it was nothing more than Miss Lisa. Statements like Mr. Chen has been working for a long time.No way, Old Wu is an honest man, and adjectives are not his forte.

After being curious for so long, I finally got to see the true face of Mount Lu. This day Su Xiaoyu got up earlier than usual, and when she was getting dressed, she heard her parents bickering in the kitchen, arguing about what to do with the leftover shredded eels.

Su Xiaoyu couldn't help laughing when his parents always babbled about such little household matters.

In fact, I am very glad that they returned to their original state so quickly. Recently, life at home has been like a roller coaster. Seeing that it has fallen to the bottom, she found a new job in time, and paid her salary in advance to pay back the money. At first, Mom and Dad were so surprised that they couldn't accept it, their eyes were wide open, and in the middle of the night, Mom went into her room and asked cautiously.

"Little fish, how can there be such a good person for letting you pay so much money all at once? Does your new boss have any plans for you?"

This says-

Su Xiaoyu lay on the bed and sighed, "Mom, I have to let you meet my boss if I have a chance, just take a look and you won't think so anymore."

My daughter now talks more and more in circles. Mother Su ignores this sentence, and then asks, "But such a large sum of money, everyone is not relatives, and you think who would be so kind these days?"

Su Xiaoyu sighed again, "Mom, the aunt next door came to ask for eggs yesterday, did you give them?"

"Of course I did." Mother Su looked at her daughter strangely, wanting to reach out to check if the child had a fever. "It's just an egg. There are many in the house, and it's not worth much."

"So." Anyway, she couldn't sleep anymore, so Su Xiaoyu simply sat up, leaned on her mother's shoulder, stretched out her hand, and drew a big circle in front of her with all her strength.

"If someone has eggs from an aircraft carrier at home, I'll ask him for one, no, borrow one, do you think he will care?"

Daughter Caiyiyu kissed so hard, Mother Su laughed no matter how worried she was, and reached out to pat Su Xiaoyu on the head, "Is there really such a rich person? If you met him, how many years will it take?" What? How do you live with salary deductions month after month?"

Su Xiaoyu fell on her mother and acted like a baby, "Mom, your daughter can make a lot of money, maybe five or six years, work harder, maybe it will be paid off two years earlier. It is written in the contract that if there is overtime pay, there will be an additional fee." Forget it, I don’t work more than eight hours a day, don’t worry, I will still get money, and I won’t starve to death.”

That night, she said that her mother nodded and left. Now she has stayed in the new company for a while, and she still wears professional attire every day, leaving early and returning late. Life is the same as before. Seeing that her daughter is normal, the two elders of the Su family are finally at ease. Now, slowly return to the previous appearance, and continue to live with peace of mind.

Everything was ready, when Su Xiaoyu was about to go out, Mom and Dad had already finished arguing about eel silk, Mom came over and put the prepared breakfast in her hands, Dad stood by and spoke, "Bring another apple, this afternoon eat."

When he walked out the door, he saw the two of them standing in the door looking at him, feeling warm in his heart, Su Xiaoyu smiled and turned around and waved.

I thought I was early enough today, but I didn't expect to smell the aroma of coffee as soon as I arrived at the company. Su Xiaoyu quickened her pace and walked in. As soon as she entered the kitchen, she saw someone busy in it. Pure English greeted her.

"Hi, I'm Lisa, is Su Xiaoyu?"

It's been a long time since I've heard anyone call her by name. Su Xiaoyu nodded reflexively, then blinked at Lisa in front of her.

"What's wrong?" The pure English continued.

"No, it's nothing, hello, Miss Lisa, just call me Xiaoyu." Su Xiaoyu shook her head, then shook hands with her.After a while, I didn't hold back, and added in a low voice, "Miss Lisa, you are not what I imagined."

Although I really don't want to admit that I have an inexplicable and strong curiosity about this legendary Miss Lisa, but before today, Su Xiaoyu had indeed repeatedly imagined her appearance in her heart.

In Su Xiaoyu's imagination, the woman who can be Chen Sulei's special assistant all year round must be a capable and powerful woman who can compete with Miss Bellining, and she looks very super at a glance.

She didn't expect to be able to meet the real person today, but the facts were beyond her expectations. The legendary Miss Lisa has blond hair, gray-blue eyes, and a professional suit. She really looks super, but she is younger than she imagined. It's a little bigger, well, more than a little, according to Su Xiaoyu's visual inspection, it's at least 45.

"It's different? Didn't you expect to see an old lady?" Lisa was standing by the coffee machine pouring coffee. After listening to Su Xiaoyu's words, she asked with a smile, then pointed to the cup with a smile, "Do you want it?" ?”

"Thank you, no, you are so beautiful, you don't look like an old grandma." Feeling that she was kind, Su Xiaoyu spoke the truth when he took the cup.

"It's true. My grandson was just born at the beginning of the year. I'm from New York and have been working there. I thought I could retire this time. I didn't expect that I would have the opportunity to work in China for another year as a grandma." Lisa laughed , The wrinkles on the face stretch out naturally, very beautiful.

Lisa is a typical American professional woman. She has worked for Chen Sulei for more than five years. She is very professional in dealing with problems, and she is also very patient when giving advice to Su Xiaoyu. Su Xiaoyu fell in love with her not long after they started working together.

There is still a lot of work, and there is nothing missing for Su Xiaoyu to do, but with such a good teacher at her side to guide her at any time, she feels much smoother in everything she does, and she always feels enlightened.

In the evening, Chen Sulei called, Lisa answered, and after talking for a while, she handed it to Su Xiaoyu.The first thing he said was, "Are you still in the company?"

Asking knowingly...but he is the boss, Su Xiaoyu didn't have the guts to refute, so he responded, "Well, I'm still changing the database of Zhonghe."

"Are you still used to it?"

What are you used to?It took a few seconds to understand what he meant, Su Xiaoyu nodded immediately, trying to express her love for Miss Lisa.

"Okay." He only answered one word, slowly, so there was a little more gentle taste in his ears.

I felt that this man was different after the cup of hot chocolate yesterday. After hanging up the phone, Su Xiaoyu was in a daze for a while. Lisa was also in the office. The long table was wide, and they each had half of the office, which was still more than enough. The two of them have been relatively busy for a whole day, so they are already very familiar with each other. Now seeing her in a daze, they laughed, "What's the matter, Xiaoyu?"

"No, it's nothing." Su Xiaoyu suddenly regained consciousness, and blushed slightly when she responded.

After a while, she spoke again, softly, "Lisa, have you ever seen Mr. Chen angry?"

"Angry?" Lisa smiled, "Mr. Chen is rarely angry, and there is no need for it."

That's right, if you have money, you have many choices, and you don't have to deal with people and things you don't like. Thinking of Chen Sulei's unrepentant appearance before, Su Xiaoyu sighed for a second.

After Lisa finished speaking, there were more question marks in her eyes, "Xiaoyu, why did you ask this suddenly? Mr. Chen is angry with you?"

"No, no." Su Xiaoyu hastily waved his hands in denial, then lowered his head under Lisa's slight smile, "I thought it was...now it doesn't seem to be the case anymore."

The next morning, before Su Xiaoyu entered the company, she received a notice from Lisa, asking her to go directly to the auction house. The driver, Old Wu, was already waiting downstairs. The matter came so fast that Su Xiaoyu didn't even have time to ask herself what she was going to do. Something was rushed into the car.

Old Wu drove steadily and fast, Su Xiaoyu sat on the side and asked him, "Master Wu, why are you going to the auction house so suddenly?".

After getting along for a long time, Lao Wu is already very familiar with her, and he smiled a little when he talked, "Xiaoyu, Mr. Chen said it in the car earlier in the morning, and I didn't ask any more questions, so why don't I just rush over to pick you up? You can ask Mr. Chen later."

"Morning?" She opened her eyes wide.

"Yeah, Mr. Chen sent a gentleman from the south to the airport early in the morning. He was probably talking about something last night. I drove the car. He said he wanted to go back to the apartment to change clothes, and he drove to the auction house by himself, so I went around. I'll pick you up."

It was rare for Old Wu to say such a long series of words, but there was no sound behind him. In the rearview mirror, he saw Xiaoyu muttering something in his mouth, his crooked eyebrows were furrowed, and he was as cute as a steamed bun.

It was just a mumbling, but as for the content, Su Xiaoyu didn't dare to say it aloud. It turns out that there are really people who don't need to rest. He is so powerful, next time he will be called Super Chen.

When getting out of the car, Su Xiaoyu hugged the bag and said thank you. Old Wu smiled all over his face in the driver's seat, "Go in quickly, Xiaoyu, don't make Mr. Chen wait."

It was still early, and there were not many people in the auction house. It was the first time for Su Xiaoyu to go to such an occasion. The staff in suits and leather shoes presented a thick auction brochure and invited her to the reserved seat. It was empty, and she was sitting alone.

She sat down and opened the subject catalog in her hand to take a closer look. The photos taken in this place were all commercial properties that had been suspended due to various problems, also known as unfinished buildings, and the locations were also mixed. There are all of them, I can't guess which one Chen Sulei is looking for, Su Xiaoyu lowered his head and looked at it seriously.

The wide hall was cool and cool, and people came in and sat down one after another, and everyone around them lowered their conversational voices. After sitting, Su Xiaoyu became a little uneasy, and couldn't help but look back in the direction of the door.

"What are you looking at?" A man's low voice came from beside his ear.

Turning around, I saw Chen Sulei, sat down beside her, glanced at her expression, and asked again, "What are you looking at?"

It was already October, and the sun was still scorching outside. Everyone who walked in was covered with heat, but he was the only one in white clothes. When he approached, he could smell the familiar faint fragrance, a calming scent like sandalwood.

What should she say about those instinctive reactions that humans can't explain?
The auction didn't go smoothly, there were many spectators and few bids, and most of the real estate properties ended up as bids. It was the first time for Su Xiaoyu to come to such an occasion, and he was a little restrained at first, but after Chen Sulei sat down beside him, those slight The tension disappeared miraculously, and she automatically attributed this phenomenon to the boss's strong aura, so she sat in a chair and watched the excitement with peace of mind.

I thought I was just here to watch the fun, but I didn't expect to take a picture of a building in the end, and Su Xiaoyu was the one holding the sign.

She was surprised when the number plate fell into her hand, but her wrist was suddenly lifted lightly, and she immediately lifted it up involuntarily. The auctioneer announced the number loudly, and felt that everyone's eyes were on her. Caught off guard with one hand raised, his eyes were still looking at the man beside him, his eyes full of bewilderment.

That astronomical figure was still ringing in her ears, but the man in front of her was very calm, without raising his eyebrows.

There was a final decision on the stage, and there was a murmur in the audience, as if the calm water surface was suddenly broken, Su Xiaoyu looked at her boss with a speechless expression, ignoring other people's eyes.

Please, boss, no matter how bad the unfinished building is, the number is huge, if you don't care, I will be surprised.

She had a vivid expression on her face, but the man in front of her was calm, and slowly withdrew his hand from under her wrist.

Before recovering from the shock just now, Su Xiaoyu continued to be in a daze, then the back of her head felt warm, it was he who reached out and gently pushed her in the right direction, the heat from the man's fingers fell on the skin through the hair, warm and numb a feeling of.

The body's reaction was faster than words, I just felt that the place where his fingers touched was hot, and it gradually spread, and in the end even my palm was hot.

Not daring to look at him any more, Su Xiaoyu looked at his nose, nose and heart next, with his palms folded on his knees, sitting more upright than anyone else.

After the auction ended, she stood up with him, her eyes swept over Chen Sulei's face, it was strange that her boss had no expression on her face, but Su Xiaoyu suddenly had the illusion that Chen Sulei's calm eyes were smiling, faintly It dripped from the corners of the eyes.

Before leaving the auction hall, a staff member came up and asked Chen Sulei to go upstairs to sign some documents. Su Xiaoyu stood in the corridor and waited quietly without receiving any further instructions from the boss.

The hall of the auction house is spacious, and there are auction halls of different sizes on each floor. The corridor where Su Xiaoyu is located is on the top floor, and it is very quiet everywhere.

At the end of the corridor is an open resting area, with a beige sofa, a rattan coffee table, and an automatic coffee machine on one side. Su Xiaoyu put his hands in his pockets and walked slowly over to sit down. He picked up a magazine from the coffee table and opened it.

There were footsteps coming from the corner, and the voice of men talking in a low voice, vaguely familiar, Su Xiaoyu looked up.

There were two men walking towards the rest area. They were all in formal attire, and their suits were neat. One of them stopped when he saw her, and his eyes met. Sure enough, he knew her. It was Tang Zhongwen.

I thought he had already returned to Singapore, but I didn’t expect to meet him here. Su Xiaoyu opened her eyes wide in surprise and stood up in disbelief. Before she could speak, there was already a voice over there. Familiar with the straight tone, the sentences are concise and direct.

"Su Xiaoyu, why are you here?"

"I..." I suddenly had hallucinations, hallucinating that I was back in that familiar bullpen again, it seemed as if none of the great changes in the past month had happened, Su Xiaoyu was at a loss.

The man who had been standing beside him suddenly laughed, and spoke to Tang Zhongwen in Singapore Mandarin, which was a bit twisted, "Zhongwen, is this Su Xiaoyu?"

Tang Zhongwen nodded, the man's smile widened, and he stretched out his hand automatically, holding Su Xiaoyu's hand with enthusiasm, "Hello, my name is Fan Wen, Zhongwen's partner, I've heard Zhongwen mention you all the time."

As he spoke, he handed over his business card. Su Xiaoyu seldom met such an enthusiastic stranger, and was stunned by him for a moment. He passively took the business card and looked down. Two seconds later, he raised his head in surprise.

"Xingma Group Investment Company?"

Tang Zhongwen still had a cool face, just nodded to her, but Fan Wen explained with a smile, "Yes, I finally let me wait for this gentleman. I just chose the location of the headquarters in China. Zhongwen, you haven't done that yet." Do you want to mention it to Miss Su?"

which thing?Su Xiaoyu looked at Tang Zhongwen with question mark eyes, he was still standing there, his eyes fell on her face, and he finally spoke a second later, "I haven't finished talking on the phone, I do have something to ask you about. Your job."

Work?Did he mean to give her a job by saying that?

Her eyes were big, and the meaning was obvious. Fan Wen couldn't help laughing at the side, and even Tang Zhongwen's eyes eased, and he nodded slowly to her.

Surprised, Su Xiaoyu looked at the two men in front of her speechless, and the phone call that she hastily ended came back to her mind, and she suddenly felt ups and downs, very complicated feelings.

BLM is gone. Overnight, I thought that the iron-clad country could disappear in smoke. I didn't expect that someone would remember her. I didn't expect that Tang Zhongwen would remember her.

Feeling moved, Su Xiaoyu took a breath and wanted to thank her, but before she opened her mouth, another voice came in, the tone was very light, and she couldn't hear any emotion at all.

"Xiaoyu, can you introduce these two gentlemen?"

Tang Zhongwen and Fan Wen turned around together, and there was a man standing three steps away, wearing a simple white shirt, with a smile on his face, his long and narrow eyes looking straight over, and his eyes fell on their faces.

It was Chen Sulei, the boss spoke, Su Xiaoyu immediately took the order, went to them and extended his hand to introduce.
