Chapter 22 Su Xiaoyu's Suicide (1)
There are many examples of suicide in this world, such as praying mantis giving birth, spiders mating, moths fighting a flame, and finally Su Xiaoyu falling in love with Chen Sulei.

——Su Xiaoyu
1
On Saturday, Su Xiaoyu and Yang Yan had dinner together.

The appointment was still on the 46th floor of HSBC, Yang Yan's favorite restaurant, Su Xiaoyu arrived first, sitting by the window and looking at the familiar building, thinking of the scene when he first came, always felt a little indescribable.

"Sorry Xiaoyu, I'm late." Yang Yan's voice accompanied the people, and when she sat down, she smiled and pressed Su Xiaoyu's shoulder.

Before Su Xiaoyu had time to complain, her eyes widened in surprise. Yang Yan in front of her was wearing a dress, her long hair was hanging down, and she had a rare ladylike demeanor, which was far from the crisp and neat look in her memory.

"Don't look, I was forced to wear this outfit, and I rushed over to have dinner with you, so I didn't have time to change." Knowing what Su Xiaoyu meant, Yang Yan waved her hand to explain.

"Forced?" Su Xiaoyu blinked, then suddenly covered her mouth and grinned, "I see, you go on a blind date!"

Yang Yan was looking at the menu, and sighed with a bitter face at this time, "Yeah, I thought I could breathe a sigh of relief when I went home, but I didn't expect my mother to hold me for this every day. If I knew this, I might as well find another BLM Come on, at least there are no such messy things."

"Blind date, how can it be so messy?" Su Xiaoyu had never experienced a blind date before, and now he regained his energy, and his eyes sparkled when he spoke, "Did you fall in love at first sight?"

"I fell in love at first sight and I came to have dinner with you?" Yang Yan glared at her.

"Oh..." Stared at, Su Xiaoyu lowered his head.

"How are you? Is the new company okay?" Yang Yan had regained her spirits when the food was served, and began to care about Su Xiaoyu.

"It's very good. I can learn a lot every day. It's much better than facing a lot of numbers every day."

In fact, Su Xiaoyu has recently felt more and more that she has the precursor to transform into a universal assistant. After that day, Chen Sulei gradually handed over the schedule to her, and she answered most of the calls. She had fewer and fewer opportunities to communicate with Lisa. Stay together in that extremely comfortable office and immerse yourself in sorting out the data, running around with the boss all day, and even driving skills have improved by leaps and bounds.

"It sounds like your boss is very nice. Who is it? Do you have any photos? Let me see what he looks like." It was the first time that Yang Yan saw an employee who had no complaints about the boss. Also curious.

The dishes were all served, Su Xiaoyu held up his chopsticks to the iced udon noodles, without raising his head when he spoke, "Didn't you see it before, it's here."

"Have you seen it here?" Yang Yan asked with a question mark on her face. After thinking for a few seconds, her eyes suddenly widened. The chopsticks slapped on the table, and her voice was high-pitched, "Is that the man? The one in black A man whose sweater smiles like it's about to bloom?"

Unprepared, Su Xiaoyu was frightened by her at close range, and bit into half of the udon noodles, almost falling out of his mouth. He still stammered and questioned, "Where are the flowers blooming...don't talk nonsense."

Yang Yan was more excited than her, she grabbed her hand across the table, and almost rushed over, "Su Xiaoyu, tell me the truth, what is your relationship with that handsome guy!"

what relationship?Of course it's the relationship between the boss and the wage earners. Su Xiaoyu wanted to open her mouth to answer, but suddenly the phone rang. She made an embarrassed gesture to Yang Yan before answering the phone, her voice was very professional.

"Hello, who is looking for Mr. Chen?"

The voice on the other end was urgent, but Su Xiaoyu was used to it, so she simply answered, "I'm sorry, do you have an appointment?"

In the past, they fought side by side in the bullpen, but they were just analysts after all, and they didn't need to put on a professional expression all day long. This was the first time Yang Yan saw Su Xiaoyu speak in a formulaic tone, and she always felt that something was wrong with her. It's different, and I was stunned unconsciously.

No time to pay attention to Yang Yan's expression, Su Xiaoyu was trying to deal with a certain gentleman on the phone who was furious.

"Are you the Miss Su who made the coffee? I'm Sun Dawen from Zhonghe, don't you remember me? I really need to find Mr. Chen in a very urgent situation, please help me to contact him, please gone."

It turned out to be him, Su Xiaoyu raised her delicate eyebrows, and wanted to say loudly, "Sir, I'm not a professional coffee maker!" But hearing his voice was full of impatience, and thinking of Chen Sulei's previous optimism about this company , She swallowed this dissatisfaction again, thought for a while before answering, "Mr. Sun, regarding Zhonghe's capital injection agreement, Mr. Chen will discuss with you in detail after arriving in City D next week. The scheduled schedule is Tuesday. Didn't I confirm the time with you?"

"Yes, yes." The answer over there was quick, and the voice was panting, as if he could see Sun Dawen wiping his sweat. I don't know why he was in such a hurry, Su Xiaoyu looked strange.

But after listening to what he said next, she finally understood the seriousness of the situation, hesitated and nodded, "Okay, I'll contact Mr. Chen, just wait a moment."

After finally putting down the phone, Su Xiaoyu went to get her cell phone in her bag, looked up at Yang Yan while taking it, "I'm sorry, something happened suddenly, I'll make another call."

Yang Yan had been sitting quietly without speaking, but suddenly regained her spirits, she opened her eyes wide and looked at Su Xiaoyu, clasped her hands together, "Xiaoyu, do you want to call your boss? Can you go on speakerphone? Let me listen to him too." the sound of."

What is this and what is it... Su Xiaoyu looked at her helplessly.

2
The previous formulaic answer was not that Su Xiaoyu deliberately made things difficult for Sun Dawen. In fact, she herself hadn't seen Chen Sulei for two days, and all the schedules were cancelled. She called for instructions last night because of an urgent document. There was noisy music in the background of the head, and it was hard to hear what he was saying, and finally a soft female voice came in, saying, "Su Lei, why are you here?" I felt soft and charming through the phone.

Not daring to ask the boss what she was doing, Su Xiaoyu consciously turned off the cable after saying a few words, and the way home was very quiet, Lisa and Lao Wu both felt strange, and worriedly asked her if she was sick?

She's not sick, just a little tired, maybe after spending so much time with a superman, sometimes she forgets the fact that she's just an ordinary person.

When I got home, I fell asleep. When I woke up in the morning, I found that my mobile phone was out of battery. When I turned it on, I saw that there was only one missed call. The one who dialed in the early morning was Chen Sulei.

She looked at the familiar number for a long time, but didn't call back for some reason. After changing her clothes, she went out to meet Yang Yan's appointment.She was still looking for a reason in her heart, so just pretend she didn't see it. On a rare rest day, what she signed was a work contract, not a contract of prostitution.

Thinking of these fingers that she dialed the phone, she hesitated, but the situation was urgent, she finally dialed the familiar number, the mechanical female voice sounded at the other end, it turned off the phone, thought she heard it wrong, and it was still the same when she dialed again , This is the first time Su Xiaoyu encountered this kind of situation, he glanced at the phone strangely.

"What's the matter? Can't get in touch?" Yang Yan was still looking forward to it, but at this moment she also felt that something was wrong, so she asked.

"The phone is off." Su Xiaoyu thought for a while, then turned on the phone, found Lao Wu's number and dialed it.

Old Wu answered the phone very quickly, and immediately answered after listening to her words, "Oh, I picked up Mr. Chen at five o'clock in the morning, and then sent him back to the apartment in the West District. He seems very tired. , should still be sleeping now."

Back to the apartment at five o'clock?No wonder he had to answer the phone, Su Xiaoyu nodded, thought for a while and asked again, "Master Wu, I have something very important to see Su Lei, can I trouble you to run with me once?"

Old Wu was embarrassed at the other end, "Xiaoyu, I'm still in Taicang. Miss Lisa said that she would come over to check the accounts of a logistics company. I don't know if I will be in time when I come back."

Oh, Lao Wu and Lisa did have this arrangement today, but she forgot, Su Xiaoyu sighed.

Just as he was about to hang up the phone, Lao Wu’s voice came again, this time a little hesitant, he said hesitantly, “Xiaoyu, you’d better go and see Mr. Chen, I’m going to Binjiang to pick him up in the morning, he’s the only one He didn't talk when he got in the car, his hands were cold, which frightened me."

one person?Su Xiaoyu was stunned. Didn't she hear other people's voices when she was on the phone?How did you become alone by the river in the morning?

Thinking of the phone call in the early morning, Su Xiaoyu suddenly became flustered for no reason, and Su Xiaoyu nodded in response and hung up the phone.

Grabbing the bag and standing up, Su Xiaoyu looked at Yang Yan with a face full of embarrassment, "I'm sorry, there is a sudden emergency, I have to go first, I will treat you today, and I will find time next time to make amends to you."

Her phone calls took a long time, and Yang Yan was already eating while waiting, when she saw her expression and waved her hand very understandingly, "Go, go, I understand you, I have a chance to take two photos of your boss blooming Just give it to me."

Why is it blooming again?Although anxious, Su Xiaoyu still lowered her head helplessly when she turned around.

Time was tight, Su Xiaoyu took a taxi, those apartment buildings were still quietly hidden in the shade of greenery, she hadn't been here for a long time, when she got off the bus, Su Xiaoyu looked at the exquisite gate and hesitated for a few seconds before Take a step and walk in.

After reporting the resident number at the gate, Su Xiaoyu walked into the apartment hall and was politely stopped by the uniformed staff. When he was about to report the floor number, the phone on the desk rang. He answered it and listened. With a surprised face, "It's the one on the top floor, 7B. I called just now and said that we need to send someone up to clean it. Why didn't anyone answer the door?"

Su Xiaoyu was listening, and suddenly interrupted, the hand grabbing the bag unknowingly exerted strength, and his fingers sank into the leather, "7B? I'm going to 7B. The driver said he would I'm back, for sure."

The staff member held the phone and looked at her. Slowly, there was something wrong with both of their faces. After he hung up the phone, he walked out from behind the desk and led Su Xiaoyu forward, "Miss, don't worry, I'm here now." I'll take you upstairs to have a look."

After going upstairs, someone had already received the news and rushed over to swipe the card to open the door. Su Xiaoyu followed the crowd into the hall, and everything she knew appeared before her eyes, but her heart was beating so chaotically that she couldn't care less about feeling.

He had already entered the door, but there was no one there at a glance, and the staff lost their minds for a moment. Suddenly, there was a light sound in the direction of the bedroom. Everyone turned their heads together, and finally saw the owner of the room at the door of the bedroom.

"What are you doing?" It was indeed Chen Sulei who appeared at an unknown time, standing at the door of the bedroom and talking in a very low voice.

"Mr. Chen, are you okay?" The staff in uniform spoke first.

Chen Sulei nodded, and looked at Su Xiaoyu when he answered, "Thank you, I fell asleep just now, Xiaoyu, are you here?"

"Well, I'm here." Su Xiaoyu replied reflexively when his name was suddenly called on.

"If there's nothing else, then we'll leave first." The staff member reacted quickly, took everyone's leave after glancing at them, and remembered something before leaving, turned around and added very seriously and responsibly, " Mr. Chen, do you still need the cleaning service you asked for?"

Su Lei is still standing there talking, the bedroom is at the end of the corridor, looking from the hall, he can only feel that his whole body is sunk in the shadow, like a blurry shadow, even the voice feels far away, "No, thank you .”

The well-trained staff left very quickly, and the door was closed with a soft, click-like sound.Suddenly realizing that only she and him were left in this place, Su Xiaoyu raised her head and carefully looked in the direction of Chen Sulei.

After seeing him, the inexplicable panic along the way finally eased, but what followed was unease. She didn't know how to explain her chaotic emotions. When Su Xiaoyu spoke, her voice was very intermittent.

"Su Lei, there was a call from Zhonghe earlier. Mr. Sun said that there was something wrong with the factory and he couldn't reach you, so I came here..."

"Zhonghe?" He replied after a few seconds, with a somewhat uncertain tone, as if he had forgotten the meaning of the word, and he did not move, still standing in the shadow.

Gradually feeling strange again, Su Xiaoyu moved forward and asked him carefully, "Su Lei, are you okay?"

He nodded and stood up a little before speaking, "Wait a minute, I'll change clothes."

Su Xiaoyu was originally standing at a bad angle, and could see it all the time. Only when he took a step closer, he could see clearly. Chen Sulei was still wearing the light-colored shirt he was used to wearing, but it felt wrinkled, and the neckline was also open. It was not his usual cool and obedient appearance.

Just as he was feeling strange, he had already turned around and entered the room. Su Xiaoyu could only nod in response, and then sat down on the sofa in the living room, waiting quietly.

The smell of Chen Sulei is everywhere in the hall, the coats lying on the sofa, dismantled records, half-opened magazines, more than one watch and car keys, no matter how luxurious and expensive things are scattered randomly It looks like there is nothing worthy of their master's careful attention.

Finally, I saw two large books in warm colors, which were placed neatly on the coffee table. The covers contained many ingredients of Italian cuisine, bright red cheese, bright yellow tomatoes, and bread and macaroni in various shapes and colors. Spreading out in front of me, I feel warm and rich just looking at it like this.

She remembered these two books. In that noisy bookstore, he looked down beside her, answered her questions with a smile, and stood in front of her when paying. That was the closest time to him in her memory. When their four lips met, they got closer, so close that she had the illusion that she could hook him with her fingers, even if it was just a small corner of the clothes.

I don't want to look any more, but my gaze is fixed on that small spot and I can't move it, and my nose gradually becomes sore, it's so ridiculous, I think about things that I shouldn't remember, why can't I always do it.

The sound of footsteps stopped right next to her, Su Xiaoyu looked up in surprise, of course he saw Chen Sulei, he had already changed his clothes, he should have washed his face, the hair on his forehead was wet.

He was leaning down, Su Xiaoyu almost bumped into him when he raised his head, his side face, and then his light-colored shirt flashed in front of his eyes, he always felt that there was something wrong with Chen Sulei today, Su Xiaoyu hesitated for a moment and then wanted to speak, But he just reached out to get the two cookbooks, casually placed them on the side of the sofa, and then sat down.

He asked her with a hoarse voice, "What did the people from Zhonghe say?"

Thinking about the business, Su Xiaoyu sat upright and spoke, "Mr. Sun called early in the morning and said that several clients in the south suddenly went bankrupt. In addition to the payment that they had not received in the past few months, they now have a serious shortage of funds. The merchants and the workers are fighting again, so now the factory is close to suspending production. It is said that some local suppliers have a good relationship with the court and are applying for a compulsory bankruptcy order. If we fail to inject capital as soon as possible, they may..."

He leaned on the sofa and listened to her talk, propping his head on one hand, with dark eyes and pale face, the sunlight in the living room was just right, but he always felt that it couldn't shine into his eyes at all.

After listening to Sun Dawen's phone call, she has been thinking about how to say these words, and she has sorted them out in her mind several times before. When Su Xiaoyu spoke very smoothly, but after speaking, the speed of speech gradually slowed down, and finally He stopped suddenly, and opened his mouth to say another sentence that was completely irrelevant.

"Su Lei, do you have a headache?"

He was frowning and listening, when he raised his eyes to look at her, his eyes were dark, and gradually became more searching, but the answer was even simpler.

"No."

"Oh..." I felt a little regretful when I said that sentence, and Su Xiaoyu felt even more embarrassed after hearing his answer, and kept her head down when she answered.

I heard his voice again, although the speaking speed was not fast, but it was already in a calm tone.

"I see, you call to change the ticket, tell Sun Dawen that we take the nearest plane to take a look, and let Lao Wu come back as soon as possible, he has to go too."
