Chapter 42
Xu Shu took the longest and most tormented flight in his life. He regretted buying the wrong cabin. He was in front of him and was in the back. He stood up from time to time, opened the curtain and looked at the back.
He observed for a while.
After taking off, she kept looking down at the book, not talking to the man next to her, and never fell asleep and accidentally leaned her head against someone else's shoulder.
Only then did he feel relieved.
Because he got up frequently, the flight attendant in the front cabin noticed him. After he got up again, he walked over and said with a smile: "Sir, our flight is very safe. The captain has a safe flight record of 19,000 hours for more than 20 years. Please feel free to take it. You are the VIP guest on our trip, and we will provide you with the best quality and thoughtful service. Do you need a glass of champagne?"
Xu Shu wanted to go over and discuss changing seats with the man beside her, but he didn't dare to do so in front of her. Seeing that the flight attendant had been attracted, he waved his hand and said he didn't want it. He took a seat back. Finally, he waited until the plane descent and arrived at the airport, and immediately squeezed over.
"My girlfriend."
He smiled at the man who was about to help Zhao Nanxiao pick up the box, took the box in the other party's shocked eyes, and followed her off the plane.
The car he drove over last time was parked in the airport. He went to pick up the car and picked her up.
Zhao Nanxiao sat in the back seat, paying attention to him looking at him through the rearview mirror from time to time, with a smile on his face, looking very proud, and holding on for a while, after he looked over again, he finally couldn't help it: "What are you always watching me for? Look ahead to you, drive well!"
"Yes, I'll listen to you, I'll look ahead."
To be honest, her tone was not very good, and he was not angry. He agreed and still smiled, and his emotions were not affected at all.
Zhao Nanxiao looked at his back.
She knew that she had to look at the past, and that the past was not that important at all. She had always believed it this way.
To take a step back, even if we have to be fair, everyone has a past. For example, he did slept with Sheng Sisi, but he almost married Ye Zhizhou.
So yesterday I met Sheng Sisi and it should have no effect on her. But for some reason, she looked at the back of the car driving in front of her and felt that it was very disliked.
Looking at this person who even had a bit of pride on his back, she suddenly felt a little regretful.
It’s not that I regretted that I came back with him so soon, but that I regretted why I didn’t want him to come to the art gallery yesterday.
Actually, he shouldn't be stopped.
I thought darkly that if he was asked to come and meet Sheng Sisi on the spot, and the old lover suddenly met, the scene would probably be much more exciting than the meeting between him and Ye Zhizhou. Today, I see if he would be so proud.
"What are you thinking? Look at me like this?"
After a while, he turned his head, glanced at her quickly, and asked with a tentative question.
"nothing."
Zhao Nanxiao responded, leaning on the back of the chair, no longer looking at him, turned to look at the scenery that kept retreating outside the window.
"Then close your eyes and sleep for a while. I will try to open it early so that there will be hot meals to eat at night."
Xu Shu advised her considerately again.
Zhao Nanxiao kept silent and closed her eyes.
They returned to the bridge construction site at around 5 pm. It was the meal time. When they got off the bus, they met Sister Cai and the others who were about to go for a meal. When they saw Zhao Nanxiao coming back so soon, they were very happy and stopped eating. They snatched her box from Xu Shu and took her back to the house.
"Mr. Xiao Xu, thank you for sending Mr. Zhao back so soon. Go and be busy with your business. Let's help her get Xiao Zhao's things!"
The elder sisters smiled at Xu Shu and told Zhao Nanxiao that they would send fruits at the construction site two days ago. They specially picked a box of the largest and best apples for her to keep, and then they would send them to her later.
Zhao Nanxiao thanked him repeatedly and went to the room to put down his things and went to dinner with his elder sisters. He ignored Xu Shu. He felt that he had arrived and called Mr. Ding and left in a hurry. He probably went to see Mr. Ding.
After dinner, Zhao Nanxiao found Lao Chen. Lao Chen had just returned from having dinner with Chen Songnan and was surprised to see her.
"Mr. Zhao, I just saw my brother coming back, why are you back too?" Chen Songnan ran over happily and asked.
Zhao Nanxiao smiled and said a few words to him, and then said to the old Chen who came over: "Director Chen, President Hu said that Jiang Gong was not adapted to the environment here and had some physical problems. He applied for transferring back, for fear that there would be fewer people and you would be too busy here, so he sent me back to take over."
"Okay, okay. Lao Jiang was breathing heavily today. He went to the county hospital. The person had not come back yet. I originally asked him to go back tomorrow. Now the east and west sides of the canyon are constructed at the same time. Although we don't have much work now, based on my experience, when the project is promoted, we will soon take things everywhere. At that time, the two ends will run and the strong mules will be exhausted halfway. Xiao Zhao, you are familiar with the situation, come back to share the burden. This is great!"
After meeting with Zhao Nanxiao and the two, they went back to their house. The elder sister also brought her apples. It soon became dark and she was packing things in the room alone. At around 8 o'clock, she received a call from Mr. Ding, asking her if she could come to the office and said she had something to do with her.
When Zhao Nanxiao arrived at the office, he saw Mr. Ding and his accompanying secretary inside, and walked in.
There were a few disposable cups on the desk in the office. It looked like they had just finished the meeting and everyone else had dispersed, and he was the only one left.
"Mr. Ding, what are you asking for me?" Zhao Nanxiao asked.
"Xiao Zhao, are you here? Sit."
Mr. Ding smiled and greeted her, poured water for her and brought it over.
Zhao Nanxiao hurriedly got up and took it with both hands to thank him.
According to her experience, if the leader is so polite, he usually has to give instructions after all.
Sure enough, Mr. Ding spoke up and said that the relocation matter was very important, so he came here from outside today to host the evening meeting. Because there were other things, he would leave tomorrow morning. Old Deng and Xu Shu, who were in charge of the relocation matters here, took a few people into the mountains to do their work. But after the meeting just now, he considered it again. Based on the previous work feedback, he felt that it would be best to send another lesbian companion in the working group.
"This relocation involves more than 200 families. In many families, men go out to work abroad for many years, and only women take their children at home. It may not be very convenient to let men do such family work. So I thought it would be better to send a lesbian. However, Xiao Zhao, the staff members here, Xiao Zhao, you know that there are no lesbians, all men, and it is too late to transfer now. I happened to hear Xiao Xu mention that you are back in the evening. After thinking about it, I thought about you. I just asked Lao Chen and said that your design institute is not busy recently, so I invited you to discuss it. Xiao Zhao, can you work hard and help us do our work together?"
Zhao Nanxiao hesitated for the expectant look of President Ding: "Mr. Ding, it's not that I don't want to. To be honest, I haven't done this kind of work before. I'm afraid I can't do it well, if it delays your business."
"It's okay, Xiao Zhao, you don't have to worry. Just contact them and see what they think and why they don't move. Only by knowing the specific reason can we prescribe the right medicine."
"Okay, I'll try my best."
Zhao Nanxiao nodded quickly.
Mr. Ding was very happy and shook hands with her to express his gratitude, asking her to go back and prepare, pack up some things, and said that she might have to stay in the mountains for a few days before she could get back after she went there.
Zhao Nanxiao went back to the house and packed up the boxes, put a few items of changing clothes and toiletries. Seeing that the boxes were still empty, he thought about it and picked out a few apples, washed them one by one and put them in the bag. All the food brought from home were stuffed in.
Xu Shu may have something to do after the meeting. He came back very late in the evening. It was past ten o'clock. I guess he didn't know what she was going to go tomorrow. Zhao Nanxiao heard him fiddling next door for a while, probably packing things. After a while, it became quiet and received a message from him saying that he would go into the mountain tomorrow morning and that he might not return for a few days. It depends on the progress of the work. He also said that the signal inside was not good and sometimes he might not be able to contact him. He was not here. If she had something to do, she would ask her to find Mr. Ding directly.
"Good night. Your boyfriend will miss you, so you don't have to miss him anymore, it's okay."
He sent another one.
Zhao Nanxiao almost couldn't help laughing out loud on the spot, wanting to say that he would go tomorrow, but hesitated and decided not to say anything.
He will know naturally when he leaves tomorrow morning.
After a while, she received another message from him: "Don't you say good night to me? I'm waiting and can't sleep."
Zhao Nanxiao wanted to ignore him very much, but in the end he couldn't do it. Finally, he typed the word "good night" and sent it over.
He quickly replied with a loving and kissing expression, and the first night he returned finally calmed down.
The next morning, Zhao Nanxiao got up, washed up and was wearing a coat. Suddenly, he heard a knock on the door. When he opened the door, he saw Xu Shu standing outside, and said, "What's going on? I just heard Lao Deng say in the morning that you are going to go too?"
Zhao Nanxiao nodded.
"You don't have to go!"
"Why?"
"I told you not to go, just listen! Why do you come from so many things? This is not your design institute's job! Mr. Ding forced you, right? You are embarrassed to refuse, I'll help you back!"
After he finished speaking, he took out his cell phone from his pocket and made a phone call.
Zhao Nanxiao took his cell phone, stuffed it back into his pocket, and said, "I promised myself."
He glanced at her and whispered, "Zhao Nanxiao, it's not that I want to care about you. I'm afraid you can't stand it if you go. Look, this place is already cold enough, right? If you go there, I'm afraid you can't even eat."
Zhao Nanxiao did not respond and took his box out.
"There is really not suitable for you to go there. Listen to me, don't go anywhere, just stay here!"
He followed up and said.
Zhao Nanxiao heard him buzzing in his ears and stopped: "Xu Shu, Mr. Ding said there are many families with only women left at home. Do you think you are more suitable for contact with them than me, right?"
He paused.
Zhao Nanxiao continued to move forward and soon arrived at the meeting point. The driver was parked on the side of the road in the car. Lao Deng and two other team members had arrived. When he saw Zhao Nanxiao, he greeted Zhao Nanxiao enthusiastically, thanked her for her active assistance, and helped her put the box in the car.
Zhao Nanxiao got into the car and sat down.
"Xiao Xu, come up quickly! We're leaving!"
When Old Deng saw that he was still standing by the roadside, he shouted.
Chapter completed!
