In memory, you smiling

Chapter 20 Fresh air, blue sky, brand new self (3)
Because it was a weekday or a domestic horror movie, there were not many audiences in the cinema. When the loud and clear singing of the three little bears pierced their ears happily, the few audience members stared at her resentfully.

Hua Zuoyi hurried to the outside of the cinema despite everyone's stares. It was Pan Kaichen's call.

"Little flower."

Different from his usual calm and cold voice, Pan Kaichen seemed to have just woken up, his voice was a little hoarse and lazy.Being read by his voice, her heart beat half a beat faster for no reason.

"What are you doing?" he continued.

"I... I work in a company."

As if to laugh at her thoughtless lies, the music from the popcorn cart a few meters away suddenly sang cheerfully, and the loud and clear singing suddenly entered Hua Zoe's microphone.

Normally, Pan Kaichen would have ruthlessly exposed her nonsense excuses long ago, but at this moment he just asked her softly.

"Well, what do you want me to do?"

Hua Zuoyi could almost imagine him holding the phone with his eyes half-opened in a daze.Seniors only have weaker defenses when they just wake up, and they are easier to get along with.Waxy and soft, as if he would not resist even if he pinched his face.

"Uh, I'm just...Senior, I miss you."

The other party stopped talking, and after a long silence, Pan Kaichen's cold and flat tone came from the other side of the ocean, and he said, "Understood, I will be back as soon as possible."

Hua Zuoyi knew that he must be awake now.

Ms. Wang felt very strange, why the boss and Ms. Hua were dating a few days ago, but the relationship has faded these days.Not only was he single on a business trip to New York, he never made an intimate phone call, and even his favorite electronic watch was hidden in a drawer (Pan: I wear the same watch as that fat man? Thinking about it makes me sick, okay).

Is this the rhythm to break?Don't, don't let the boss go back to his previous state of Iron-blooded King Kong, they are not that durable.

"Wang, what is ignorance?"

Miss Wang immediately came back to her senses, and glanced at Pan Kaichen in the rear seat from the rearview mirror.He was flipping through the information on his mobile phone, the blue fluorescent light set off his cold and slashed face, giving him an indescribable sense of solemnity.

"I don't know why, but I don't understand why but I feel very powerful."

Pan Kaichen gave a soft oh, and his frown eased.Soon, he made a phone call back.

"Commissioner Hua, do you take it too easy to go to work?"

The other party didn't know what to say, Pan Kaichen actually had a smile on his perennially frosty face.

"It's good that you know. Say hello to Auntie." He rang the phone as if nothing had happened.

This scene fell into Ms. Wang's eyes, and she felt so incomprehensible. It turned out that it wasn't that the boss and Ms. Hua didn't have a phone call, but that each phone call was very short and straightforward, which really looked like his style, but it was a relationship. Are you negotiating?

Ms. Wang rubbed her forehead, thinking that the boss's road should be quite bumpy, but thinking that his energy will be attracted by other things, the happy life of her colleagues in the future is worth looking forward to.

Since Hua Zuoyi sent him a message in the middle of the night that day, Pan Kaichen checked his phone countless times every day.Although she sent some trivial things that I didn't understand, such as:

"Mr. Pang didn't faint after running 4000 meters. He said he made progress, but he said he was tired and didn't like it."

"Qiao Lisi got Mr. Pang's ticket for next month's long-distance running in the city."

"Today, my mother wanted to eat Lao Lai Fu's wontons. She said it was not as delicious as it used to be. The taste will definitely change after more than ten years."

"It's raining outside. Fortunately, my senior lent me my umbrella last time."

"Senior, can you make fried balls again after you come back? It's the kind with a lot of flowers in it."

……

He doesn't have to be together every day, and he feels very close. He has greatly improved the communication method of short messages, but Pan Kaichen's replies are always so precious.

Maybe it's because the content of his reply is too little, which gradually makes people feel bored, or maybe it's because there is always a time difference between the two of them, Pan Kaichen always feels that the short messages from Xiaohua have been a lot less in the past two days.Like today, he waited until noon and still didn't see any ringing from his phone.Before the meeting, he asked Secretary Wang to buy a Nokia. He remembered that the quality of that mobile phone had always been very good.

Secretary Wang did it in minutes.

"Boss, Nokia has bought it. A 50.00% controlling stake is enough. Their boss said they would fly over in the afternoon and meet you at the office."

Originally wanting to buy a mobile phone, Pan Kaichen, a rich man who finally bought a company, was silent for a few seconds and said flatly, "I don't see you."

Then, as usual, I went to a meeting with Secretary Wang.Facts have proved that Huanyu made a lot of money in the communication industry because of Secretary Wang's foresight, but that is another story.

"Then, the contract for this piece of land will be determined according to the agreed price." The host of the meeting said loudly.

Pan Kaichen raised his head from the state of swiping the screen, and his sharp eyes swept across the crowd.

"No, if we follow this schedule, not to mention the first three quarters, even the first three years, the gross profit will not exceed five points." He paused and said with a serious expression, "This kind of cooperation can't even be liquidated. Fang, there is no sense of cooperation."

The cooperator has a guilty conscience, obviously watching him playing with his mobile phone all the time, thinking that he is absent-minded.In such a family business, there are many people who use their surnames to hang around, but they don't know that Mr. Pan is so serious.And just now, news broke out that Pan Kaichen bought the shares of a large communication equipment company on behalf of Huanyu.

Perhaps Pan is the one who really makes the decision and sets the direction!

"Let's talk about it after you think it over."

Pan Kaichen showed no mercy, got up and left.The collaborators were shocked by his resoluteness.

"Mr. Pan, stay here, we have another plan..."

Secretary Wang followed behind Pan Kaichen, feeling that the boss is very angry today, it is best not to offend him.

"Wang, find Old Chen and ask for Miss Qiao's phone number."

"Is that the Joris who beat you until your stomach bleeds?"

Pan Kaichen stopped and turned to look at her quietly.

"Yes." He twitched the corner of his mouth.

After getting Qiao Lisi's number, Pan Kaichen called without any hesitation.Before, because Xiaohua's text messages were getting less and less, he tried to call her, but the phone was turned off three times.This delicate feeling of suddenly losing contact actually made the most favored man in the business world feel a heart-wrenching discomfort.Come to think of it, it was the same way more than ten years ago, once we separated, Xiao Hua would disappear, and when he went to find it again, things would have changed.

According to Hua Zuoyi, Pan Kaichen's current mental activities should be "extremely frightening".

"I'm Pan Kaichen, at this point, Hua Zuoyi is by your side?"

"Why should I tell you." Joris was not polite.

Pan Kaichen lowered his eyes, squeezed the phone harder, and couldn't directly ask why she ignored me, why she didn't send me messages, and acted like an impatient high school student, okay?

"What happened to her recently?"

"You don't know?" Joris couldn't help raising her voice, "You really don't know, it seems like what Zoe said, you are really a fake couple."

"what happened?"

Pan Kaichen's voice became even colder, even someone as dull as Qiao Lisi could feel the chill coming from the phone.

"You...you better come back soon." Joris quickly cut off the phone.

A bad premonition rose from his heart, Pan Kaichen frowned and called Secretary Wang.

"Book a plane ticket to the mainland soon."

"Boss, haven't you read the contract with the partner?"

"You stay here and pass it on to me." After being dismissed for the third time, he should have learned his lesson. He has always been calm and confident in business affairs. .”

Secretary Wang and Lan Serley are both Pan Kaichen's trustworthy people. His current behavior may be deviant in the eyes of the family, but since he was a boy, he has premeditated and calculated this matter, and it must succeed.Therefore, before the plan is successful, no wind can be leaked.

After a while, Secretary Wang knocked on the door and came in.

"Boss, it's raining heavily at the destination, and the flight didn't take off this morning. I checked that the first-class and business-class cabins are full today. Do you want to transfer Mr. Pan's private plane?"

My brother's private jet should be in Xinguo now, even if it takes off now, it will take a lot of time.

Pan Kaichen waved his hand.

"Economy class."

Secretary Wang glanced at him in surprise. The boss, who is extremely picky and mildly obsessed with cleanliness, has never been willing to squeeze in with others, and it will take twelve hours to fly back from New York.There are so many children in the economy class, it's like a noisy zoo, he probably won't be able to sleep.What was it that burned his ass that made him run back so eagerly?

After much deliberation, there is only love love love love love!

Joris arranged for Hua Zoe to run with Mr. Pang every day, rain or shine.In the past, she must have had back pain and leg cramps every day, but now she runs as easily as a deer.

Jogging can really change a person's state. The oncoming wind seems to not only blow up the hair and clothes, but also blow away the messy thoughts and troubles.She can think about nothing, care about nothing, and walk side by side with him carefree.

"Miss Hua, can you stop looking at me with that look."

Hua Zuoyi came back to her senses, what she was looking at was not Mr. Pang, but loneliness.

Hey, how many opportunities she had before to appreciate the profile of the senior, but she always missed the opportunity.Either because he was exhausted from running and was unable to turn his head, or because he was afraid of being known to have bad intentions, so he didn't dare to sneak a glance.

The senior always wears a sweatshirt with a hood when running, and she can imagine the blush on the cold and cold side face due to exercise.

Stop it, think no more!Hua Zuoyi shook her head desperately, as if she wanted to throw all kinds of distracting thoughts out of her mind.She took a deep breath and returned to normal.

"Actually, I'm looking forward to Mr. Pang becoming thinner." She smiled at Mr. Pang and waved her fist to the sky, "So let's work hard, we are still 3000 meters away from the goal!"

The morning sun fell on her shoulders, and the beating rays of light seemed to pass through her long hair blown by the wind. Mr. Pang was stunned at this moment.I have seen many energetic heroines in daytime dramas on TV, but none of them are as bright and real as Zoe Hua.Her smile was like a shot in the arm, making his panting body full of strength again.

God, jogging with a girl like this every day is simply the most romantic thing in the world.He began to be jealous of the person who stood beside Hua Zuoyi.

Hua Zuoyi's good mood lasted until the afternoon, and her rosy face was adorable because she kept exercising.

"Little boy, is there something good going on recently?" Mrs. Hua observed her daughter's beautiful face carefully, and always felt that she was more energetic every day when she saw her.

"No, it's just a normal work and commute." Hua Zuoyi smiled and blew cold white fungus soup for her mother.

"Xiaoguai, did you quarrel with Kaichen and haven't seen him for several days?"

"Mum, you forgot. I told you yesterday that the senior is on a business trip."

Mrs. Hua suddenly came to her senses, and asked her nervously, "Why didn't you bring you along? Your father used to travel with our family on business trips. You know that men are very 'lonely' on business trips. Did Mommy drag you down?"

"That's not true. The senior said he would be back soon. Mommy, don't be nervous. He won't be lonely." Thinking about the coldness of Mr. Pan, who is slightly obsessed with cleanliness and abstinence, in front of American busty beauties, Zoe Hua is in a good mood. "Mum, why don't I tell you about Mr. Pang recently, that fat man is so funny."

Mrs. Hua listened to Hua Zuoyi's exaggerated description and looked at her dancing body movements. She couldn't help laughing several times. She heard that Mr. Pang ate a piece of chocolate before a long-distance run because he was afraid of lack of energy. Duan, Mrs. Hua almost burst into tears.

"Is it funny?"

"Yes, it's much more interesting than you reading Shakespeare's stories. Xiaoguai, why didn't you tell your mother these interesting stories before?"

"Mommy, you can hear me! Then why didn't you tell me earlier."

Mrs. Hua was a little embarrassed to be exposed.

"Every day is a Shakespeare novel. I was so tired of listening to it that I couldn't fall asleep, so I woke up and told you."

"But Mommy, you used to say that elegant ladies should read Shakespeare's books."

"It was Mommy who was stupid..."

Suddenly the mother and daughter didn't speak, as if they had stepped on a taboo.

The topic of "before" cannot be discussed.Once brought up, those bad memories poured out like sewage.

After her father passed away, her mother gradually disliked her and always pushed her away. At first she tried every means to trick her into studying abroad, but later she simply ignored her and treated her as a vacuum child.She can live with no new clothes, not being able to go to school, not being able to eat together, but please don't talk to her, don't listen to her, please?It made her feel like she was becoming more and more transparent and non-existent.

To put it bluntly, they don't actually love her that much, isn't it all right?

Hua Zuoyi came back to her senses, met her mother's bewildered gaze, and took a deep breath.

"Mommy, I really love you. I love Dad, I love Youling, but I love you the most. This will not change."

"I know... Mommy knows it all, Xiaoguai is Mommy's mistake, please forgive Mommy."

The bad experiences in the past came to her heart, and Mrs. Hua was filled with remorse. Suddenly her eyes were blurred by tears, and she could no longer see the appearance of her daughter clearly.

Xiaoguai is not so tall, nor so calm and careful.That little sun-like girl has always been her pride.

When Mrs. Hua raised her tearful eyes again, the daughter on the opposite side seemed to have shrunk, sitting upright in a neat school uniform, with two thin legs swinging dishonestly, with a lovely smile like a daisy on her face.

She stretched out her hand to the girl Hua Zuoyi, and without a moment's hesitation, that warm body immediately fell into her embrace.

"Mommy will never hurt you again, and will never drag you down again." Mrs. Hua repeated over and over again, stroking Hua Zoe's back, but the thin one supported Hua's back instead of her.

Outside the window was already a scene of warm spring, and the sunlight flowing among the mottled leaves coated the figures of the two embracing each other with a layer of warm colors that they had never seen before.

Hua Zuoyi never thought that the conflict between her and her mother that no one wanted to bring up was blown away by the spring wind in this peaceful and quiet afternoon.

"Mrs. Hua, I've taken my medicine." The nurse pushed the cart in and saw Hua Zuoyi's family happily hugging each other, feeling extremely happy.Who said that Korean dramas have no good endings, who said that tragedy must end in tears.

The two parted embarrassingly.At this time, Zoe Hua found that her mobile phone had been vibrating for a long time.

It's a strange call.Hua Zuoyi picked it up, and her face changed slightly after hearing the other party's voice.

Since Pan Kaichen forcibly entered her life, characters from her forgotten world have sprung up one after another.Now even that person called to ask her to meet.

"Baby, what's the matter?"

Flower Zooey nodded.

"Mummy, I'll come see you again tomorrow." She playfully kissed her mother on the cheek.

"Okay! Tomorrow! I'll be waiting for you, my little boy!" Mrs. Hua waved goodbye to her energetic back who was still running out the door.

Outside the open window behind Mrs. Hua, a gust of wind rushed towards the towering green tree, and the fallen leaves were scattered in an instant. The green leaf petals swirled and fell, revealing the ancient branches that had decayed long ago.

So, this became the final farewell.

The next day, people found that Mrs. Hua was dead, with a smile on her lips.Her tomorrow will never come...
