Chapter 29 Chapter 29 It was cold and deserted on New

Year's Eve. No one turned on the TV. It was cold and deserted last year and it was cold

and deserted this year. Wu Ma and Xia Jie knew that Qiao Yihua would be away for more than half a month, so he finally asked for leave to go home.

Xiaozhen was the only one who was cold and deserted.

The two hadn't spoken for a long time since the quarrel. After the Spring Festival, Qiao Yihua came back very early because of work at the company, but he stayed at the company for many days.

Wu Ma would prepare meals and ask Fangzi to take them over, just like she secretly sent meals when she was sick before, and she was always alone.

Fangzi was busy with work and could not go there every time, so she asked Xiaozhen to take a taxi. The few times she went there, most of the time, the security guard downstairs called Ren Qiu, and occasionally Ren Qiu was also busy, so she went up.

But her mentality was different from before. There was a female secretary at his door to register visitors. In the past, Xiaozhen usually waited outside in front of the secretary's desk, leaned against the wall in a daze, or sat inside. Now she just left it there and left.

However, he was getting busier and busier. He rarely sent her meals, less than two or three times a month. He no longer told her what he was busy with as before.

When they were together, he talked about everything, although Xiaozhen didn't understand many things at all, such as the company's progress, what stage it had reached, and whether it should go public.

Now the guests who come to the house are usually in the study, and no one can disturb them.

It would be better if they don't fight with each other, let alone talk about private business secrets. Xiaozhen is the top spy in the house.

This time, the two of them went home together. When she was waiting downstairs at the company, she ran into Qiao Yihua talking to someone. Xiaozhen would not give him a cold face outside, but would greet him politely and say, "Hello, brother, hello."

After dinner, Xiaozhen was on the balcony looking outside in a daze, and found that Qiao Yihua was sitting downstairs alone in a daze for an hour or two. Everyone seemed to always have troubles and would not be silly and happy.

The next morning, Xiaozhen went downstairs to eat. He hadn't left for work yet, and was sitting on a chair drinking tea leisurely.

Suddenly he asked, "Do you have any impression of the man wearing a jacket yesterday?"

Xiaozhen sat down with the bread and asked, "What man? Is he the one downstairs from your company?"

Qiao Yihua: "The one wearing glasses."

I didn't remember his appearance at all, and I didn't know who he was talking about.

He continued, "He likes you very much."

Xiaozhen suddenly had some impression of him. He had gold-rimmed glasses, wore a jacket, and was about 40 years old. She thought he was a leader who came to visit.

"You're going to introduce me to him as a lover."

"He's not married, he works in the system, he's only 32 or 33 years old, he's studied abroad, his father works in the China Securities Regulatory Commission, he's good in every aspect."

Xiaozhen asked faintly, "What does he like about me?"

Qiao Yihua said, "What can he like?"

Seeing that she had no interest at all, "He wants to treat you to a meal, but you can do whatever you want."

Xiaozhen sat next to him, "If you let me go, I'll go."

"Then don't go."

Xiaozhen pursed her lips and smiled, "I'm going to go."

Qiao Yihua said, "His family are all in the system, they pay attention to rules and how they speak and dress, their aesthetics are more orthodox Chinese, they dress simply and generously, especially your hair, it's best if there is no hair on your forehead."

He said it very seriously, Xiaozhen said, "Don't talk about it, you're taking it seriously. People won't like me if they know I have such a reputation."

Qiao Yihua: "You are arrogant and you belittle yourself."

"That's not what I meant." Xiaozhen thought for a while, "I never cared about this, it's just... forget it, I never had contact with such a person before."

"Men are easily deceived, and in this case, you may be in a high position today or a prisoner tomorrow, so what's noble or not."

Sometimes he speaks really comfortably, and sometimes it's very irritating.

Xiaozhen really can't tell how she feels about Qiao Yihua.

"Since you say so, okay." Xiaozhen looked at him, unable to dig out more other emotions, "I don't care."

Qiao Yihua stood up, picked up her clothes, put them on and left. It seems that he was waiting for her today.

The man's name is Cui Fengsheng. Not long after, he had dinner with Qiao Yihua and indirectly mentioned that Xiaozhen should come with him. Before

leaving, Qiao Yihua asked in a democratic manner, "Are you really coming?"

Xiaozhen thought in her heart, aren't you eager for me to go? What like or not, it's nothing more than wanting to establish some relationship, so that it will be easier to do business and pretend to be dignified.

The reason why Xiaozhen was willing was just this. He rarely asked herself to do these things. Maybe he really had trouble and did it out of pure kindness.

When Qiao Yihua and Xiaozhen came in, Cui Fengsheng had not yet arrived. There were not many people at the table, two middle-aged men and a young woman. As for who the young woman was, everyone could guess. They were all

people who asked the son of a high-ranking official to do something

. As soon as the two of them sat down, Cui Fengsheng came over, and everyone stood up politely.

Qiao Yihua said that he was only thirty-one or thirty-two, and he was a few years older than him. Looking closely, he did not look like he was forty years old. At first glance, he was indeed very dignified and looked very old, wearing the same Zhongshan suit and glasses as always.

While saying that the higher-ups were strict and could not organize a party, he was naturally smoking a cigar when someone lit it, as if he was enjoying such treatment.

Fortunately, Qiao Yihua was not such a lackey, and they had a normal meal and conversation, otherwise it would be really hard to imagine him licking people.

Cui Fengsheng has such a simple name, and he looks easy-going and smart. As long as you say something that seems to be helping, you will be evasive. The higher-ups are strict, and my dad doesn't talk about work at home.

Qiao Yihua sat next to Cui Fengsheng, and Xiaozhen sat next to Qiao Yihua, with one person between them. Except for occasionally saying, "Little Zhen, eat more," there was no other action that night.

After the dinner, Xiaozhen and Qiao Yihua were left alone. Xiaozhen waited by the parking lot. Cui Fengsheng and Qiao Yihua chatted for a few words, saying that the situation was good now, and you didn't have to worry. They were all big taxpayers and famous companies, and the policy would definitely be inclined.

Qiao Yihua just smiled and said nothing else.

There were too many famous companies and foreign companies pouring into Shanghai, and part of their business had already been transferred to Shenzhen. He was just too obsessed with going public.

After a few words, Cui Fengsheng waved goodbye to Xiaozhen when he got in the car and left quickly.

Xiaozhen nodded gently.

The brother and sister stood at the door of the hotel facing the wind. Qiao Yihua said, "Don't stand there stupidly, get in the car."

They hadn't sat together for a long time. When they came, they sat in the front and back seats. This time, Qiao Yihua was very gentlemanly and opened the car door for her.

Xiaozhen said, "You guys are really boring, beating around the bush."

​​"What else? If you give me a few hundred thousand, I guarantee that the next project will be yours, and I'll send you a few beauties to let you know the internal policy?"

Xiaozhen heard his tone and looked down on this group of people, "You don't like it,

but you still do it." Qiao Yihua turned his head to look at her, "It's always been like this in China, you might as well take the civil service exam now."

"Next time I become the president of the United States, I'll let you list on NASDAQ directly, wouldn't that be a one-step solution?"

Qiao Yihua pinched her mouth to see if she was sharp-tongued.

Cui Fengsheng's identity made it inconvenient for him to have dealings with the business community. He was very good at calling Xiaozhen and would not go through Qiao Yihua to contact her directly. He would always notify her in advance.

He asked Xiaozhen out alone, thinking that Qiao Yihua would definitely agree.

But this person was really okay. Even if he went out in the afternoon, he would definitely send her back before 8 o'clock in the evening.

But there was no need to send her back. Qiao Yihua's driver followed her the whole time.

When Xiaozhen came back, she had no expression. She walked in tiredly with her windbreaker on her arm, sat down and took a sip of tea.

Then she knocked on Qiao Yihua's door.

"Open it yourself."

Xiaozhen pushed it open and put her phone on his desk, and walked away like a deflated ball.

He was very worried and reluctant, so he gave her a phone to call for any problems, and said that people with this identity were more afraid of being exposed and she didn't need to be afraid.

When Xiaozhen came back, she felt that he was still the most frightening person in the world.

Qiao Yihua was worried because she was either as taciturn as before, or as prickly as now, and easy to offend people.

I can't bear to let her go. It must be because I have cultivated such a person. No matter how I try to avoid it, they have had sex. I feel a little uncomfortable and worried about the relationship between men and women. In short, I am selfish and want to control her but can't control her.

"You are very happy, why are you unhappy?"

Xiaozhen walked up to him and said suddenly: "How about I marry him?

" Qiao Yihua was very calm and shrugged: "I can't control you anymore."

Xiaozhen looked at his reaction and was a little disappointed. She whispered: "Do you smell the smell on him?"

Why does he want to smell the smell of a grown man.

"It's... well, how should I put it, it's a strong smell of cigarettes, and a little smell of deodorizing medicine." Xiaozhen recalled and couldn't help squinting her eyes, as if she was smoked.

I am not sensitive to smell. Qiao Yihua often smokes, and I only feel a little tobacco smell when I kiss him.

The box was probably full of smoke that day, and I couldn't smell it mixed together, which led to the mixed smell of Cui Fengsheng when we met alone this time, which was really sour.

"If you marry him, you can tolerate it?"

Xiaozhen thought for a moment and said softly, "He really likes to reason. You are already very long-winded, and he is even worse. He shouts slogans all the time, such as realizing the four modernizations, joining the WTO, hosting the Olympics, and China will soon become a powerful country and eliminate poverty. Anyway, he can just pick out contents from high school textbooks and university ideological and political education. It was quite annoying at first, but gradually I felt that it was amazing that he could remember so many things."

Qiao Yihua showed no expression and just said "hmm" lightly.

"We went to a small Sichuan restaurant. He ordered two dishes, one was shredded pork with fish sauce and the other was mapo tofu. It cost more than 30 yuan, along with a pot of tea. He didn't eat much. I asked him why he didn't eat. He said Yihua said your taste is southwestern and you can't get used to Shanghainese food, so you can just eat more. Then I ate both dishes. When we came back, he said I had a good appetite and a good temper, and his mother would definitely like it." Xiaozhen covered her mouth, "There was a lot of traffic jams on the road at night, and my stomach was so uncomfortable."

So she looked unhappy. After she reported everything in detail, Qiao Yihua said,

"Why don't you die of fullness?"
