Shape

The employees of the planning department found that life has suddenly become much easier recently. Liang Xuan no longer finds fault with them everywhere, and the proposals submitted can basically be passed smoothly. He no longer has to work overtime every day until ten o'clock at night like some time ago.

Li Yichu has been busy with his company's bidding for Yigang recently. Yigang is the leader in the state-owned steel industry. Cooperating with it is an excellent opportunity for the company to improve its status in the industry. Making money is second, and the most important thing is to do well.The planning department needs to be familiar with the management and process of their entire enterprise as soon as possible, and design a perfect network system for them in all aspects of management, production, and sales.

The headquarters attaches great importance to this cooperation, and sent a group of ten people to work with the branch to work on this project.

The flow chart that Li Yichu spent two weeks making was picked up by them, and it was almost useless.

At work, Li Yichu could clearly distinguish between striving for perfection and deliberately making things difficult, so he humbly accepted the opinions of these experts, and redid it with his subordinates after returning home.

The head office requested to come up with a detailed plan within two weeks, and Vice President Xia from the head office would come to review it two weeks later.

Time is tight and the task is heavy, Li Yichu almost made his home in the company.

Liang Xuan was busy in the office until he got off work after nine o'clock. When he passed the fourth floor and saw that the lights in Li Yichu's office were still on, he stood there for a while and gave up the idea of ​​telling him to get off work, then turned around and went downstairs.

Liang Xuan drove to the airport, waited outside the waiting room for more than ten minutes, and saw Xu Pan pushing the suitcase out, so he dialed her phone: "Look to the left, I'll turn on the double flash."

Xu Pan searched around, ran over with the luggage, and put the luggage into the trunk with the help of Liang Xuan.

Liang Xuan: "Eat first or send you back directly?"

Xu Pan: "Take me home, I can't wait to see the house you're looking for haha..."

Xu Pan has also been in Beijing these years, and has had many contacts with Liang Xuan. After graduation, her work has not been smooth. Not long ago, she heard that Liang Xuan came to Shanghai, so she wanted to come to find a job, so Liang Xuan rented a small apartment for her in advance.

Xu Pan kept asking about the situation in Shanghai. Liang Xuan answered in a few words, even more silent than when he was in high school. Xu Pan cared: "Why do I feel that you are not in a good mood? Work is not going well?"

After waiting for the gap between the traffic lights, Liang Xuan was stunned, Xu Pan patted his arm before replying: "No."

Liang Xuan closed his eyes and squeezed the figure who had been busy in the office for several days until the early morning out of his mind, glanced at Xu Pan and asked, "I remember you studied secretarial?"

Xu Pan: "Yes."

Liang Xuan: "I haven't found a suitable assistant since I arrived at the branch office. Would you like to help me? Don't worry, it's not a contract of prostitution. As long as you find a suitable next job, I will definitely let you go."

Xu Pan is not familiar with Shanghai, so she thought it would take a few months to find a job. Now that Liang Xuan said this, thinking about it, it is a very good opportunity for her at present, nodded and smiled: "Okay, first Thank you, Boss Liang."

Liang Xuan smiled lightly.

After arriving home, Liang Xuan helped Xu Pan carry the luggage up, and after handing over the keys and contracts to her, he prepared to leave. Xu Pan wanted to let him sit for a while, but Liang Xuan pushed that he had something to do.Xu Pan didn't understand: "What are you busy with in the middle of the night? You might as well say that you are sleepy and want to go home to sleep, then I promise not to keep you."

Liang Xuan was silent for a moment, then looked at Xu Pan and said, "I forgot to tell you that Li Yichu is also in my company."

Xu Pan covered his mouth in surprise: "Li Yichu? Has he returned to China?"

Liang Xuan: "It should be a few years since I came back."

Xu Pan secretly watched his face, and said carefully: "Then you..."

Liang Xuan smiled: "No, he probably doesn't want to mention the past."

Xu Pan has been friends with him for many years, and he can see the subtle emotions under his indifferent expression, a touch of bitterness flashed by.Xu Pan has always been unwilling to speak ill of Li Yichu, and even more unwilling to see that Liang Xuan still couldn't let go after so many years, so he comforted him: "Then you should think about it too, right?"

Liang Xuan looked at his watch and waved her into the room: "Let's talk. I'm leaving. You should have a good rest."

"Hey——" Seeing him disappearing in the blink of an eye, Xu Pan cursed inwardly that this deadheaded man has been going on for decades.

Liang Xuan drove back to the company, and saw from downstairs that the lights in the office on the fourth floor were still on.He parked the car in the garage, took the elevator up to the fifth floor, and went to his office to continue working.

He knew in his heart that even after years of time and rifts, the habits of his childhood were still deeply rooted in his bones. He couldn't see Li Yichu working hard alone, and if he couldn't replace him, he would accompany him.

At the regular meeting, Li Yichu saw Xu Pan follow Liang Xuan into the conference room, and watched her introduce herself in surprise.

As soon as the meeting ended, Xu Pan stopped Li Yichu who was about to run away: "Brother Yichu, no, Manager Li, you don't know your old classmates so soon?"

Li Yichu said helplessly, "How could it be?"

Xu Pan clapped his hands and said: "Our old friends are reunited, shouldn't it be time to have a meal? I don't have much money on me, so I invite you and Liang Xuan to have the famous Shanghai fried rice tonight. I can't lose face."

Li Yichu: "..."

Xu Pan has long longed for Shanghai fried rice. She has always loved noodles, and fried rice is cheap, so it is not unaffordable to treat guests, so the three of them went to a fried rice shop after get off work.The decoration of this store is simple and simple, with waist-high walls separating semi-open single rooms. Xu Pan first put his bag and coat inside the seat, and then sat down outside the seat: "You two sit across from each other."

After Xu Pan finished ordering, he looked at the two people opposite: "Why don't you talk?"

Li Yichu glanced at Liang Xuan from the corner of his eye, but remained silent.

Xu Pan knew that Liang Xuan was always quiet, so he took the initiative to ask Li Yichu: "What do you think of France?"

"France?" Li Yichu was taken aback for a moment.

"Yes."

Liang Xuan: "I think most of the well-known scenic spots are average."

Li Yichu looked at him in surprise: "Have you been to France?"

Xu Pan: "Yes, Liang Xuan went to France as an exchange student for a year in his junior year."

Li Yichu looked at Liang Xuan's profile, and it took him a while to turn his gaze away.

The waiter put the fried noodles and noodle soup in front of them, smiled and asked them to eat slowly and left.Xu Pan picked up a fried pan with chopsticks and handed it to his mouth as he spoke: "I have wanted to eat Shanghai pan fried for a long time."

"Slow down—" Liang Xuan didn't have time to finish, and immediately stretched out his left hand to cover Li Yichu's hand, and a few drops of hot soup immediately splashed on the back of his left hand.

Xu Pan wiped his mouth with a tissue, and exhaled: "I'm sure the fried rice I ate before is not authentic. I've never eaten soup that would splash so far!"

Li Yichu withdrew his hand, looked at Xu Pan and said with a smile: "You take a smaller bite first, so that the soup won't splash after you drink it."

Seeing the movement of the two hands on the table, Xu Pan sighed inwardly.Even after being treated like that, Liang Xuan still protected Li Yichu as an eyeball. Everyone has their own destiny.

After dinner, Liang Xuan sent Xu Pan home, and Li Yichu to the community where he lived.Li Yichu said thank you and was about to get out of the car. Liang Xuan grabbed his wrist, but looked ahead: "When I was in France, I walked all over the streets and alleys, but unfortunately... I didn't meet you."

Li Yichu looked out the window, he didn't know what to say at this moment, he was afraid that if he said a few more words, he would be exposed as a lie.

Liang Xuan released his hand from his wrist, and his voice contained the desolation that he tried to hide: "Do you still remember the world map posted at home? I always told you before that those countries in Europe are very small, that is, our province. But I didn’t know until I went to France that I was looking for a person, and a province is as big as the earth.”

Li Yichu didn't dare to look into Liang Xuan's eyes, he lowered his head and said, "Liang Xuan, it's all over."

After speaking, he opened the car door in a panic and got out of the car, and was stopped by Liang Xuan the moment he turned around.

Liang Xuan watched him turn around, the corners of his lips twitched a few times before he said, "Reviens jusqu'àmoi, jet'aimeencore." (Back to me, I still love you)

Li Yichu guessed that he might be speaking French, so he didn't dare to ask, and turned around and left quickly after only one glance at him.

Liang Xuan watched him walk away without blinking, and finally slammed his fist on the steering wheel.He originally thought that if Feng Qiming didn't want Li Yichu, he would be able to chase him back, maybe he was too impatient.

The day of the review is coming soon. Vice President Xia is a well-known iron-faced general in the head office. He can't rub any sand in his eyes. No one who works under him has ever made a mistake, because if he makes a mistake, he will be fired.

Li Yichu projected the presentation of the plan onto the big screen in the meeting room, and then explained it to Vice President Xia one by one.

Vice President Xia kept frowning and listening, and when he heard Li Yichu talk about the budget, he interrupted him: "3100 million? Where did you get this figure from?"

Li Yichu explained the budget again.

"Do you know the total budget of our nine major projects last year?" Vice President Xia looked at him: "7200 million. That is to say, your budget for one project is more than three. If each project With such a large budget, what else can’t be done? Then why do I want you to make a plan? Just take the money to Yigang to buy the contract?!”

Chen An was about to interrupt, but Vice President Xia continued to ask without panting: "Who approved this?"

The budget of 3100 million is Li Yichu's budget with the maximum amount. In reality, it must be lower than this standard. His previous work habit is to write the maximum amount to fight with the leader, because no matter what amount he writes to report, he will be asked to compress it. , it is better to write a big one, especially Yigang is a very expensive project, he did not exaggerate too much this time.But he didn't expect the leaders of the head office to be so strict. He was about to admit it, but he heard Liang Xuan say: "I approved this."

Everyone looked at him in shock.

Liang Xuan signaled Li Yichu not to speak with his eyes, and continued: "I know that an investment of more than 2000 million needs to be reported to the headquarters for approval. This time, the project schedule is too fast and we haven't had time. Mr. Xia can continue to look at the plan. If there is only one budget If you have any questions, I will go back to the head office with you to apply to the senior leaders."

Mr. Xia naturally knows this rising star. He can fire a branch manager like Li Yichu, but he can't just fire Liang Xuan, who is highly valued by the head office's senior management. Liang Xuan's rewards and punishments have to be done by the head office. .He took a deep breath, looked at Li Yichu and said, "Continue talking. Your position will be temporarily removed for the next few days, and we will talk about it after the budget is fixed at the headquarters."

Mr. Xia was satisfied with the overall plan, and there was only one budget issue left. Since Liang Xuan made a promise, he asked Xu Pan to book a ticket to Beijing the next day.Xu Pan was accustomed to his behavior of rushing to take the blame for Li Yichu, and when he heard other employees say that Director Liang was out of his mind this time, he thought to himself, how could he not be like this?

After the meeting, Li Yi entered Liang Xuan's office: "You... originally didn't have to do this. I can take care of this matter, but I'm making you run back and forth now, I'm sorry."

Liang Xuan crossed his hands on the table: " Between you and me, do you need to be so polite?"

Li Yichu looked away: "I don't want to owe you."

Liang Xuan smiled: "Do you still owe me less? What's the difference between one more time and one less time?"

Li Yichu didn't know how to answer the first time he heard that he brought his personal matters to work.Liang Xuan seemed to like to see him embarrassed, so he paused for a while before saying, "How about this, I'll take a taxi to the airport tomorrow, and when I come back from Beijing, you can pick me up at the airport, and let's settle the matter, how about it?"

Not to mention Liang Xuan, even if it's an ordinary colleague, Li Yichu should be thinking about this kind of love because he ran such a big circle for him, and replied: "Okay."

Li Yichu lay in bed that night and checked the weather in Beijing with his mobile phone. The temperature would continue to drop from tomorrow. He hesitated for a while, and sent a message to Liang Xuan: Remember to bring thick clothes tomorrow, Beijing will cool down.

After waiting for a long time, but did not receive a reply, Li Yichu thought that Liang Xuan must have fallen asleep, so he turned off the wall lamp and prepared to sleep.

As a result, as soon as he closed his eyes, the phone under the pillow started to vibrate.He took it out and saw Liang Xuan's message: "Go downstairs."

Li Yichu jumped out of bed, and ran downstairs with his slippers.

In the community at one o'clock in the morning, there was no one except them.

Liang Xuan stood leaning against the street lamp, put his hands in his pockets, and watched Li Yichu walk in front of him with a smile on his lips.

Li Yichu was still out of breath: "Why is it time?"

Liang Xuan stared at him: "I miss you."

After speaking, he leaned forward and hugged Li Yichu.

Li Yichu froze, Liang Xuan whispered in his ear: "I'm flying tomorrow, if you push me now, tomorrow will be unlucky."

These three words are Li Yichu's Achilles' heel, he did not move, took a few deep breaths before saying: "Bon voyage."

Liang Xuan stood holding him for 5 minutes, and finally pressed a kiss on his ear: "Okay, let's go up, it's cold outside."

Li Yichu then turned around stiffly and entered the corridor.He went back to the house, stood by the door for a while, and then walked to the balcony. Sure enough, Liang Xuan was standing underneath and looked up in his direction.

Li Yichu stood by the balcony, the phone in his hand started to ring, he picked it up and put it to his ear.Liang Xuan's deep and gentle voice came over: "Good night, Yichu."

Li Yichu watched the man wave his hand at him, then turned and left.

When Li Yichu walked into the bedroom, he knew he was finished.He can pretend to be very tough to face Liang Xuan who is indifferent and sarcastic to him, but he can't resist Liang Xuan who treats him as tenderly and affectionately as he was when he was a child.It was the most dusty memory in his life, he didn't dare to recall it, and he didn't dare to linger on it.It is easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but it is bone-breaking and cramp to go from extravagant to frugal.He has too little in this life, and he has to spend the rest of his life to repay the only kindness he has. Liang Xuan is the only gift God gave him. His previous life was full because of Liang Xuan, which made him ignore all the misfortunes.So after eight years of losing, he still hasn't recovered.

It seemed that as long as Liang Xuan showed him the gentle look he had when he was a child, Li Yichu wanted to cry to him about the grievances and sufferings of these years.He relied on Liang Xuan at that time, and missed him even more.
