Jiang Sui got off the bus, paid the fare, and walked into the building.
According to Shui Yang’s words, she entered the lounge on the 12th floor of the elevator.
She lowered her head and glanced at her watch. The time was 14:11 in the afternoon.
Shui Yang turned on the monitor and saw the girl’s appearance. She was not wearing a light cyan skirt like that day, but a school uniform. The school uniform jacket of No. 9 Middle School was blue and white. Jiang Sui’s zipper was pulled to above the collarbone, and she wore a pair of dark blue school uniform pants underneath. She had her hair in a ponytail and sat quietly on the sofa, looking very well-behaved.
Shui Yang suddenly felt guilty.
The sinful Shui Yang dialed on the intercom: “Boss, do you want to eat?” It was already past lunch time, and the workaholic hadn’t come out yet. Shui Yang sometimes couldn’t understand Chi Yan. The third master already trusted him enough, but Chi Yan was like a tireless machine, afraid that he hadn’t worked hard enough.
Chi Yan frowned and was reading the jewelry appraisal certificate. He reminded Shui Yang in a cold voice: “You have a lot of courage. I told you not to bother me during working hours.” His tone was as bad as you could expect.
Shui Yang said: “You really don’t want to take a rest?”
“Get lost.” Chi Yan hung up the phone.
Shui Yang was not annoyed and smiled. Li Zi, who was drinking coffee at the side, looked at him as if he was crazy: “You know that the boss won’t eat, but you still bother him. Are you looking for abuse?”
Li Zi was the woman who had been negotiating for the houses that day.
She had followed Chi Yan from the island. To be honest, she could be considered a flower on Hengxia Island, except that she was a little darker. This was a standard and capable strong woman, and Chi Yan would only keep such a person by his side.
Shui Yang picked up the phone again, dialed the internal number, and said with a smile: “Boss.”
Chi Yan dropped the pen with a bang, his eyes sullen: “Are you tired of staying in the company?”
Shui Yang said: “It’s nothing serious. Miss Jiang said she was coming to thank you. She is waiting on the 12th floor now. Should I send her away because you are busy?”
There was silence on the other end.
Shui Yang glanced at the monitor and said, “The visitor is a guest. The little girl looks quite pitiful. She is sitting there so well-behaved that she doesn’t even dare to drink the water.”
Chi Yan said: “Ask her to wait.” He put on his coat and stood up.
Li Zi also looked at the monitor with a strange expression: “That ‘nail-biting household’?”
“Oh, it’s so unpleasant to hear that the house is a nail-biting household. They really don’t want to sell it. We are the evil dragons who want to take away the little princess’s castle.” Shui Yang hung up the internal line and called the phone number in the lounge. He said in a humane voice, “Miss Jiang, as far as I know, this matter can be discussed. Our boss is very soft-hearted. Please beg for mercy and speak in a gentler tone, and the boss will agree.”
Jiang Sui was dubious: “Really?”
“Of course. If you go out and ask around, you will know that I, Shui Yang, never lie to others!”
Jiang Sui said: “What should I do if he doesn’t agree?”
Shui Yang gave her an idea: “This is easy to handle. He hasn’t eaten and is hungry. You treat him to a meal and he will be soft-spoken and he will agree.”
Jiang Sui felt this was very unreliable, but Shui Yang had hung up the phone neatly, and he even consciously turned off the monitor.
Li Zi heard everything and her voice changed: “Did you lie to Mr. Chi Yan?”
Shui Yang said: “Well, no. Isn’t he not angry?”
Li Zi thought about it again, and her face slowly turned green.
Chi Yan… really didn’t get angry.
….
When Chi Yan walked into the lounge, the girl raised her eyes to look at him.
She pinched her fingers quietly, showing a sign of displeasure. She hated liars, but now the liar could demolish her house with just one sentence. Her eyes were clear, like the sky washed after rain.
The strange uncomfortable feeling in Chi Yan’s heart came up again. He averted his eyes and sat far away from her.
He felt a terrible sense of alienation and indifference. He nodded: “I’m sorry about the house.”
He was not normal last night and had some bad thoughts. After all, he had met such an amazing person when he was young, and he was somewhat obsessed with her. He was no longer the same person he was two years ago. The secret thoughts of that young man had faded away with the sound of the waves of the sea day after day, and his heart settled like a pool of stagnant water.
No one knew how to look at people better than Chi Yan. She didn’t like him before, and it hadn’t changed much now.
The best thing he could do was stay away from others.
Jiang Sui heard him say sorry and thought he was saying sorry because the house was bought. She was panicked, suppressed her anger, remembered Shui Yang’s words, and smashed the jar: “Mr. Chi Yan, can I treat you to a meal?”
Chi Yan raised his eyes, he looked at her quietly for a while and frowned.
Jiang Sui felt like she was stupid for believing Shui Yang’s nonsense, but the next moment, Chi Yan said, “Okay, let’s go.”
He took the suit jacket and went out first, walking slightly quickly, as if he didn’t want to let her back out again.
Jiang Sui followed him.
She touched her wallet, her cheeks turned red for a while, and Jiang Sui calmed down and said, “Chi Yan.”
Chi Yan turned around: “What’s wrong?”
“Would you mind eating egg fried rice?”
Chi Yan was silent for a long time: “I don’t mind.”
“Oh.” She whispered, “The egg fried rice is delicious.” The fact was that she had no money. She was a high school student, so she was really poor.
Chi Yan said: “Yeah.”
Jiang Sui searched very hard before she found a very ordinary small restaurant. The boss looked at the man’s expensive suit, and then looked at the girl’s school uniform in surprise: “What are you two eating?”
Jiang Sui said: “Two bowls of egg fried rice.” She suppressed her shyness and did not dare to look at Chi Yan’s face.
The egg fried rice was fried very quickly. Jiang Sui had already had her lunch. She took a bite with a spoon and her expression changed. Too much salt!
She quickly looked at Chi Yan’s face and said, “How about we eat something else?”
Chi Yan paused: “No need.” He lowered his eyes and ate several mouthfuls without changing his expression.
Jiang Sui almost suspected that there was something wrong with her sense of taste.
While the man was eating his meal, Jiang Sui asked bravely, “Mr. Chi Yan.”
Chi Yan responded calmly: “Well, if you have anything to say, just tell me.”
Jiang Sui gave up hope and said dryly: “Can you not buy my house? My father and I are begging you.”
Chi Yan paused for a moment. He had a good brain and realized Shui Yang’s good deeds on the road. Therefore, he was not surprised now and still responded calmly: “Okay.”
Jiang Sui looked at him carefully: “Aren’t you going to regret it this time?”
He pursed his thin lips and made a “hmm” sound from his nose.
Jiang Sui no longer trusted him and whispered: “Capitalists have no credibility.”
He finally raised his eyes to look at her, with a look that Jiang Sui had never understood before. It felt weird and made her want to look away.
Chi Yan said: “I won’t lie to you this time.” His eyes were obviously very light, revealing the autumn colors of October, and he looked a bit depressed, like anger, but also like sighing. As if she was an irritating little girl.
This made no sense, Jiang Sui thought, he was obviously the one who was annoying.
This sentence was clearly written in her eyes.
Chi Yan was originally heartbroken, but he felt unwilling to let it go when he saw her. He suppressed his anger and said, “I told you very clearly about some things two years ago.” He said goodbye to her and said that he would definitely return in two years.
Jiang Sui was at a loss. She opened her eyes wide for a moment and looked at Chi Yan with an incredible look.
She often felt that it was her own illusion. Perhaps that year, the rain was too loud and the fog was hazy, so she could vaguely see the most humble and expected feelings of a young man.
Chi Yan stood up: “It’s what you think. Do you understand this time? I won’t lie to you!”
