safe in distress

"Hello, general manager. My name is Qiao An, and I am the head of the sales department. I will ask the general manager for advice on my work in the future."

Joan stood in front of the desk, as if separated by a natural moat.

He actually stood there unable to move, even his calves were shaking.

The moment Li Shuyang's eyes touched his skin, he held his breath in fear.

He didn't know what he looked like in the other party's eyes.

Is there something that is not appropriate enough, is there something that is not good enough.

But his gaze was fleeting, and Joan could not find him.

"Hello."

After more than 20 autumns, winters and springs and summers apart, Joan's Mr. Li spoke the first words after their goodbye. He stood up and stretched out his hand to the person in front of him, as peacefully as he treated all his subordinates.

"I hope to achieve great success together with Minister Qiao in the future."

Joan could only smile, and held the other's palm vaguely.

The palm is so hot that it hurts the heart when it is hot.

------

Qiao An is going to work with Mr. Li.

He was a little happy, but he couldn't tell others.

He hid his joy in the flower buds on the window sill, in Mr. Xiong's soft embrace, and in all the unknown places.

But at work, he is still the usual Minister Qiao, fierce and powerful.

His world has long been different from when he was young.

In the past, his heart and eyes were all about love, and he didn't care about anything else.

And those things that he despised have become an important part of his life today.

He needs to learn to enrich himself, he needs to work to support himself, and he needs too many trivial things to support him to move forward.The love that once filled the world has become a star river shining in the dark sky, and wild flowers growing beside the muddy road.

Those loves have become very small, but they are still very beautiful, giving him strength when he is weak.

------

The new official took office three times. In the first month when Mr. Li parachuted into their company, every department was busy, and Qiao An was no exception. He was devastated by work all day long.Fortunately, the transition period was finally passed smoothly, and everything was safe and sound.

At the end of the month, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Minister Joe."

Joan was about to pack up and leave work when he was stopped by a colleague from the general manager's office.

"Assistant Zheng, what brought you to my place." Qiao An laughed, and his words were full of intimacy. He joked, "Our sales department has overfulfilled the task this month."

"It's because your sales are so good that the superiors sent me here." Zheng Zhu shrugged. He and Qiao An have worked together for a long time, and they are very familiar with each other, and they speak more casually, "Today we, Mr. I will inform everyone that we will have a group dinner, and the boss will treat you."

"Dinner?" Joan froze for a moment before nodding, "That would be great."

------

Li Shuyang was so generous that he invited all the middle-level cadres of the company to a luxurious restaurant in the city center.

This is the restaurant that Qiao An used to come to often. It is regarded as the leader of Chinese restaurants in the city. Whether it is dishes, service or dining environment, it is one of the best, but correspondingly, the price is also ridiculously high. The per capita is nearly [-] yuan. Can't afford it.Qiao An has never been here since the accident at home. After all, a meal here is almost considered as his monthly food money, which is not worthwhile.

After many years, he still has some emotions when he comes here.

Looking at Li Shuyang's usual look, he would inevitably think of the first time he came here with Li Shuyang.

At that time, Mr. Li was only in his early twenties, and he still had the innocence of a young man.Although he was restrained on the surface, he felt a little unnatural when he came to an unfamiliar place.

He will be very concerned about his words and deeds, afraid that he will be out of place in this place.

Whether ordering and serving food or when the waiter came to pour water and warm towels, Li Shuyang would become stiff uncontrollably.Joan remembered laughing at him at that time.

"You are the customer, and the customer is God. How can God be afraid."

Yes, Li Shuyang is no longer afraid now.

------

Everything in the workplace is particular, and the wine table culture has a long history. Everyone is a genius, and there are rules for every seat.

When eating with the big leaders, the general manager will naturally sit at the table, but the remaining few ministers will have a fight.

Qiao An didn't bother to show off in front of Mr. Li, so he sat down quietly and didn't compete for the right and left guard positions, but he was quite close, there was only one person between him and Li Shuyang, Qiao An You can see each other just by turning slightly sideways.

Li Shuyang didn't wear a suit, he was wearing a dark shirt, he looked mature and elegant, the hotel's lighting was gentle, like a fine gauze covering his body, in Qiao An's eyes he was even more beautiful than before.

He stared blankly for a while, and then looked away stupidly.

Before the banquet started, Li Shuyang stood up and toasted everyone. Qiao An could only take advantage of this moment to follow the big guy and look away from the other party. He no longer had the courage to look at the other party, even if he used his peripheral vision to secretly scan Take a look.

He didn't have too much time to mourn the spring and autumn, and soon someone clinked glasses with him, and both the true and false wine glasses poured towards him.

Joan used to be a teetotaler, and his drinking capacity has been practiced in the past few years.

He smiled and clinked glasses with each colleague, and then drank it all in one gulp.

Joan's straightforwardness aroused applause and laughter from the people around him. Only Li Shuyang watched him silently, frowning as he watched Qiao An's unrestrained cups of white wine.

------

"I don't want to drink. The wine is not good. I just want to drink juice."

The Qiao An in Li Shuyang's memory was always in high spirits, he could say what he wanted to say without any scruples, he never cared about anyone's face, he just did what he wanted.He can even push away the hand being toasted, and hold his own juice glass with a smile.

He is full of confidence and does not bend down for anyone.

"Then who will help you stop the wine?"

Li Shuyang still remembered that he asked such a question, and Qiao An laughed when he heard it, revealing the little dimple on his cheek.

He threw himself into his arms, his tone as sweet as if stained with fruit juice.

He said.

"With you."

------

"I'll toast, you can do whatever you want."

Qiao An swallowed a sip of white wine, her chest was burning hot, and she wanted to pretend to be free and easy to be laughed and teased.

"Mr. Qiao still keeps such a half. Is it to raise fish?"

He waved his hand and swallowed the remaining half of the glass.

Joan blinked and helped his swollen forehead.

Just a little uncomfortable, that's nothing.He once drank and vomited with customers for several rounds in order to run business, and also drank infusion and gastric lavage in the hospital.

He has long been used to drinking, anyway, the person who said he would stop drinking for him no longer wants him.

------

During the whole dinner, only Li Shuyang could substitute tea for wine, making an excuse to drive without drinking.After all, with his current status, don't say there is an excuse, even if there is no excuse, as long as he doesn't want to drink, no one will dare to persuade him to drink.

But Joan was different.

He has colleagues and subordinates.Colleagues have to persuade, subordinates have to respect, one cup after another, there is no need to stop.

This kind of battle, even if Qiao Anqian couldn't hold it down, he still got drunk in the end.

A drunk like Joan is the most obedient. He doesn't make any noise when he's drunk, he looks very quiet, just keeps laughing.

And his smile is not exaggerated at all, just a little bit of his mouth can be seen faintly showing his dimples.

He was also considerate and considerate in arranging vehicles, and sent away his colleagues who were drunk in a fog in twos and threes. In the end, he was the only one left standing alone at the station.

He stood there stupidly. He didn't know how to hide when a car came. The owner of the car was unscrupulous. He knew that there was water on the ground and didn't slow down. The splashed water sprayed Joan all over like a fountain.

Only then did he feel confused, and he patted blankly, but it became more and more dirty. Such a big man was as pitiful as a lost child.

"Beep! Beep!"

Joan turned around in confusion when he heard the horn, and saw his Mr. Li sitting in the car and waving to him.

Li Shuyang came out from the side of the car window and said to him.

"boarding."

Joan was in a daze as if many years ago, happily rushed over, opened the car door and sat in naturally.

"You are so slow, I have been waiting for you for a long time."

He stretched out his arms to wrap his arms around his dear Mr. Li's broad shoulders, and gave him a drunken kiss.

This kiss fell on Li Shuyang's side face, it was incredibly soft.

Joan was drunk.

Man Xin thought it was many years ago, that they hadn't separated, that he could kiss this person.
