Only one step away

Seeing Li Yuan stepping into the company's gate, Secretary Yin greeted him as if seeing a savior: "Director, you are back."

Li Yuan let out a "hmm" as an answer.Pushing open the office door, he sat down on the table and asked, "Do you have my phone?"

Secretary Yin's pretty face twitched: "The phone in the office hasn't rang. Well, Mr. Feng went to the scene in the afternoon. Before leaving, I asked you to call him."

"Feng Zhenglin?"

"Yes."

"understood."

After speaking, Li Yuan opened the drawer, took out his mobile phone from inside, and looked at the caller ID on it. Strangely, he didn't find any missed calls on it.

Just wondering, he looked up and saw that Secretary Yin was still standing in front of him, and frowned unconsciously: "Do you have anything else to do?"

Secretary Yin replied with a dry smile: "Do you need tea and coffee?"

"No, I don't need it. What?"

"Then I'll go out?" Secretary Yin continued to smile dryly, pointing to the door.

"of course."

"Then I'll go out first." After leaving these words, Secretary Yin quickly walked towards the door.

Seeing her close the door and go out, Li Yuan shook his head in puzzlement.When he dialed Feng Zhenglin's phone, the ringtone still remained the same, and finally, before his patience ran out, Feng Zhenglin's lazy voice came from the other end of the phone: "Old Comrade Li, you finally called me back! ?”

Hearing his voice, Li Yuan had the urge to hang up the phone, but he was worried that he really had something important to do with him, so he had to ask patiently, "What do you want from me, tell me!"

"Actually, it's not a very important matter~~~~~~~ But I answered a call in the afternoon, it was for you~~~"

Looking for me?Li Yuan was taken aback.

If it was really looking for me, why did you call Feng Zhenglin?If it is said that I called my mobile phone and no one answered it, why is there no missed call on my mobile phone?

"Who is looking for me?"

"Is there a need to talk about this? Of course it's our Miss Fan~~~" When mentioning Miss Fan's family, Feng Zhenglin elongated his tone on the other end of the phone.

"Oh? What does she want from me?"

"Miss Fan asked you to have afternoon tea~~~ It's a pity that you are not here, so I pushed it for you."

This guy! ! !as expected! ! !

Hearing Feng Zhenglin's tone of voice on the other end of the phone, Li Yuan gritted his teeth with hatred.

He was sure that Feng Zhenglin did not have Fan Jie's phone number in his hand. Now that Feng Zhenglin knew that Fan Jie was looking for him for afternoon tea, he must have sneaked into the office and checked his phone number! !

However, he hadn't planned to meet Fan Jie in the afternoon. Since the other party pushed the matter for him, Li Yuan decided not to pursue the other party's private phone calls.

However, this was just his wishful thinking. When he heard Feng Zhenglin's next words, Li Yuan clearly heard the sound of a string breaking in his brain.

"Comrade Li, it's rare that Ms. Fan invites you so proactively. It's always bad to reject other girls, so I made an appointment with her at the western restaurant on the seventh floor of the Imperial Hotel..."

"Feng Zhenglin!!!" Li Yuan grabbed the phone and cursed, "Have you been itching lately!?"

Feng Zhenglin laughed dryly on the other end of the phone: "Don't say that, I'm doing it for your own good. I know, you broke up with your girlfriend and you're in a bad mood, but you can't be with men even if you're in a bad mood... ..."

"A man!?" Li Yuan felt that the veins on his forehead were bulging when he heard it, "Feng Zhenglin, tell me again!"

"Uh..." Hearing that his voice was wrong, Feng Zhenglin immediately shut up and stopped talking about it, and changed his words, "Comrade Li, you have to remember that at 06:30 tonight, I will pick up Miss Fan to the seventh floor of the Imperial Hotel for dinner! Bye!"

"Feng Zhenglin!!! You give me..." Li Yuan had just yelled halfway, when there was only a blind voice of "beep" on the other end of the phone, and he was so angry that he slammed the phone down.

This kid! ! !Peeking at the phone and answering the phone privately is fine!He even arranged a date for himself privately! ?

MD, that's all there is to it, anyway, this kind of thing doesn't happen once or twice!But why do you have to put yourself in the shit basin of liking men! ?

wait!man! ?

A shadow of a person suddenly flashed in Li Yuan's mind.

Sunan! ?He remembered that the only man he had been in contact with in private recently was Sunan. Could it be that Feng Zhenglin was talking about Sunan! ?

But he was sure that Feng Zhenglin had never met Sunan, so how could he say that suddenly! ?

After a while, he suddenly understood something.He slammed the table hard: "I C!!!"

When he was in college, he knew that Feng Zhenglin was an unusual gossip guy. Back then, in order to chase after the flowers of his department, he did everything from stalking and eavesdropping on other people's phone calls. It's just that I didn't expect the other party to gossip about using these methods to deal with me! ?

Angrily opened the door, Li Yuan shouted: "Secretary Yin!"

Secretary Yin had long heard Li Yuan scolding Feng Zhenglin furiously outside the door, and when he suddenly called himself, he was so frightened that he lost all confidence in speaking: "Director...I'm sorry...I...I..."

"Help me book two seats in the western restaurant of the Imperial Hotel."

"Hey!?"

Seeing that she didn't react, Li Yuan replied angrily: "I said to book two seats for me in the western restaurant of the Imperial Hotel."

After confirming that the other party was not pursuing him for letting Feng Zhenglin in and out of the office, Secretary Yin hurriedly replied: "Oh! Okay!"

Seeing her frantically calling to reserve a place, Li Yuan sighed and said, "Secretary Yin, no matter what that Feng guy says in the future, don't let him enter my office again!"

Secretary Yin looked up at him and nodded in fear.

The company got off work at five o'clock, and all the subordinates had already left by the time they arrived, but Li Yuan was sitting alone in the office thinking about how to call Sunan.

In the morning, his ex-girlfriend went home to pack his things. Seeing Sunan at home, there must have been some misunderstanding, so he rushed back in such a hurry, but he didn't expect that when he chased home, his ex-girlfriend had already left.

Although I don't know what was said between the two, but looking at Sunan's face, there is nothing wrong.

But for him, it is a very sorry thing to involve someone who has nothing to do with him in his private affairs.Originally, he wanted to send the other party home in person to make up for the apology in his heart, but he didn't expect the other party to leave alone, and he didn't even have time to say an apology.

He originally planned to talk about this when he went to the training class at night, but he didn't expect to kill Feng Zhenglin halfway, which caught him by surprise.

After hesitating for a while, Li Yuan finally dialed Sunan's number.

"Mr. Li? What's the matter?"

Sunan's soft voice came from the other end of the phone. For some reason, Li Yuan always felt that there was a hint of joy in that voice.

"Ah... well... I may not be able to come to your side this afternoon."

"Oh? Really?" Sunan smiled softly, "It's okay."

Li Yuan opened his mouth, originally wanting to say sorry, but suddenly heard a woman's voice on the other end of the phone, and immediately, the words that reached his mouth melted like foam, disappearing without a trace.

"Mr. Li?" Su Nan asked softly on the other end of the phone without hearing him speak.

Li Yuan grabbed the receiver and didn't answer.This time he clearly heard a young woman's voice on the other end of the phone, who was asking where Sunan's coffee was kept.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Li, I have a friend here, so I'll hang up first." Ignoring why he didn't reply, Sunan hung up the phone in a hurry.

Listening to the blind voice on the phone, Li Yuan was a little dazed, feeling as if something was missing in his heart, feeling empty.

He didn't know how long he had been sitting in the office. He didn't know that he had missed the appointment until Miss Fan called.

"I called you this morning, and you don't seem to be at the company." Fan Jie said, taking a sip of her red wine gracefully.

Li Yuan looked up at her, and replied: "Well, I have something to go out this morning."

Fan Jie looked at him with a smile: "The one who answered the phone in the morning seems to be your good friend?"

"Barely counted. What?"

"It's interesting for me to listen to him. When did you meet?"

"I was a classmate in college. Speaking of which, I am now working in this company because of his blessing." Speaking of this, Li Yuan is still very grateful to Feng Zhenglin. If he hadn't persuaded him to quit, he might have If you can't get promoted to this position, you just have to gain something. If you get too close to Feng Zhenglin, you will cause the current mess.

"I'm really envious~~~ If only I had such a good friend."

"Miss Fan has a cheerful personality and is very popular. She must have many close friends." Li Yuan twitched the corners of his mouth, and dealt with it politely.In my heart, I only wished that I could stay away from that bad friend.

"It's just superficial relations that can't be wiped away. There are not many people who are close friends..." Fan Jie sighed as she spoke, which sounded quite helpless.

Guessing what the other party wanted to say, Li Yuan changed the topic with a light smile: "Miss Fan called me today?"

"It's nothing, it's just that a few friends feel a little bored together, so I want to ask you out for tea and chat."

"Really?" Li Yuan rolled his eyes with a smile, "Fortunately, I didn't receive your call."

"Li Yuan, what do you mean by that?" Seeing him smiling so happily, Fan Jie couldn't help feeling a little displeased.

"I'm a boring person, and I don't know how to joke around. If I answer your call in the morning, I'm afraid that Miss Fan, you and your friends' good afternoon tea time will be ruined by me." Fan Jie winked a little.

Fan Jie was amused by him, and couldn't help bursting out laughing.Finally stopped laughing, she said: "You won't work overtime tonight, will you?"

Li Yuan was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered that when the other party called to ask him where he was before dinner, he replied that he was working overtime, so he hurriedly replied: "Well, it should be."

"I have two concert tickets here, will you go with me?"

Looking at Fan Jie's delicately painted face, Li Yuan immediately felt that it was wrong to answer, and it was wrong not to refuse.

He wasn't very interested in concerts, and even less interested in going to concerts with a woman, but before he answered the other party's request that he didn't have to work overtime today, he couldn't find a reason to go back and forth with her for a while.

"what happened?"

"Uh...actually...I recently..."

"Huh? What's going on recently?"

"Actually, I'm learning to dance tango recently." In desperation, Li Yuan showed his cards.

Fan Jie froze for a moment: "What?"

"Last time, Miss Fan, when you invited me to be your dance partner, I didn't tell the truth." Li Yuan said awkwardly, "I actually don't know how to dance. Tango or something, I can't at all..."

"then?"

"So recently I found a training class, and I'm trying to make up for TANGO. I also made an appointment with the teacher tonight."

"Li Yuan, you are really interesting."

"Huh?" Li Yuan originally thought that saying this would make the other party's face unhappy, but he didn't expect it to be the exact opposite.

"Feng Zhenglin told me about you learning to dance this morning, but I didn't expect you to admit it honestly." Fan Jie said, laughing, "It's so cute."

cute?Li Yuan's face suddenly darkened.After all, he is also a big man, and is he called cute by women?That's right! ?

"Since you work so hard, I can't ruin your desire to be my dance partner. So, don't forget to go to the concert if you don't want to." Fan Jie raised her glass with a smile, "Cheers to your health."

"Cheers to your health."

Responding to her words, Li Yuan smiled dryly and raised his wine glass.

Because Li Yuan didn't go to the concert, after dinner, Fan Jie suggested to go for a drive. By the time she finished sending Fan Jie home, it was already past ten o'clock at night.

When returning the same way, passing the intersection, seeing the traffic lights flashing at the intersection, Li Yuan suddenly remembered the woman's voice on the phone when he called Sunan in the afternoon.

He raised his hand to check the time, it was almost eleven o'clock, and the training class was already closed by this time.After lighting a cigarette, he turned on the left turn signal when the traffic lights came on.

The car parked downstairs of Sunan's apartment. Li Yuan only remembered this place where he lived, but didn't know which floor he lived on, so he dialed Sunan's number.

"Hello? Who are you looking for?"

Unexpectedly, it was not Sunan who answered the phone, but a woman with a clear voice, which sounded very young.

Li Yuan was stunned for a moment, but he didn't react.

"Hello? Who are you? Who are you looking for?" The woman on the other end of the phone couldn't hear anyone speaking, and continued to ask.

"Uh... I'm looking for Sunan." After speaking back, Li Yuan felt an unspeakable pain in his heart.

"Su Nan? Wait a moment!" The woman began to call Sunan's name on the other end of the phone. After a while, Li Yuan's familiar voice came from the phone: "Hello? Who is it?"

"it's me."

Hearing his voice, Sunan on the other end of the phone felt a little surprised: "Mr. Li? Is there anything wrong with calling so late?"

Li Yuan originally wanted to say that I was downstairs at your house, but when he remembered the woman who answered the phone before, he changed his words: "It's nothing. I just called to see if you are at the training class."

"Ah, I'm not there now, I've gone home."

"Is it?"

"Yes, I just got out of the car now, and I'm going upstairs soon."

At this moment, Li Yuan suddenly noticed a taxi parked not far from him, and looked around in a hurry. A young woman got out of the car, followed by a man with a child in his arms.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Li Yuan held the phone and heard Sunan calling his name inside, suddenly felt a little at a loss.
