A burst of cool air made me realize that I had forgotten myself. I hurriedly crawled back into bed.
My attempt to cover up aroused Cheng Xinjie's suspicions. With a shy expression, she suddenly asked Dan Dan, "Sister Dan Dan, when did you wake up? How come I didn't know?"
Dan Dan smiled. "I've been up for a long time.
I woke up at 4. Didn't you hear Brother Zhao? "
I coughed lightly, signaling Dan Dan to stop talking nonsense.
Dan Dan understood and stood up from the bed. He moved closer to Cheng Xinjie and said, "Come, let's go back to the room."
Cheng Xinjie tried to look inside again. Her worried eyes revealed a kind of real confusion.
She furrowed her brows and hesitated on the spot.
Cheng Xinjie asked Dan Dan, "Have you been with my brother-in-law all this time?"
Dan Dan said, "Not for long. Your brother-in-law is too tired. Maybe it's because he's worried too much. It's almost the New Year, so he's worried."
Cheng Xinjie nodded as if she understood. She muttered to herself, "Maybe it's because I slept too deeply. I didn't feel anything.
I didn't even feel you leave. "
Then she looked at me and asked with concern, "Brother-in-law, why don't you get some rest? Why did you wake up so early? It's fine if you're late for one day. Don't tire yourself out."
I nodded and said, "Don't worry, Xinjie. I'm fine.
It's not even 6 yet. If you don't want to exercise, you should go back and rest. "
Cheng Xinjie nodded slightly and said, "Okay.
I'm going to see brother-in-law. "She patted Dan Dan's shoulder and walked out, closing the door behind her.
I heard a hint of resentment in the two women's footsteps.
Cheng Xinjie, in particular, didn't seem very happy.
Could it be that she misunderstood Dan Dan and me …
I couldn't guess or imagine.
It was already 6 AM when I went out for a run.
There were a lot of people doing morning exercises outside, but most of them were old people. As the saying goes, spring comes early. There were more and more pedestrians and cars on the street. I could only run in the green areas on both sides of the road.
I didn't meet the usual punctual Jin Ling during this morning exercise. I don't know if she didn't come out today or if she had a new partner.
Thinking of this, there was a trace of bitterness in his heart.
Everyone has feelings, and I belong to the category of emotional animals.
For a long time, Jin Ling had been by my side, running and exercising with me.
He was not used to losing her all of a sudden.
After finishing my practice, I went to Zhou Ji Congee Shop alone and drank a bowl of congee. Then, I went back home.
She did not expect to receive a call from Jin Ling on the way.
Jin Ling apologized profusely over the phone, "Sorry, sorry, Captain Zhao, I didn't get to accompany you in your puppy love (practice) today."
She was used to calling morning exercises puppy love.
I smiled and said, "It's okay.
It was quieter to practice alone.
Jin Ling said, "You're blaming me?"
Actually, I'm not in Wangjing right now, I'm at Yi Fei's place. I came over yesterday. She's not in a good mood right now and needs someone to comfort her.
It's all my fault. I can take care of one side but not the other. I said I would practice puppy love (practice) with you every day, but I forgot to tell you today. I'm so sorry.
I'll apologize to you when I return to Wangjing. "
I said, "Boss Zong, what are you thinking? Am I such a petty person?
Besides, it's not your duty to practice puppy love (practice) with me. You don't need to apologize to me. "
After saying that, I felt that something was wrong. I was also infected by Jin Ling and called morning exercises' puppy love '. "
Jin Ling said, "But I didn't go to puppy love and didn't tell you. That's my mistake.
I'm sorry, I'll reflect on it. I'll reflect on it to Captain Zhao. I promise that similar situations will not happen again. If it does, I'll apologize to Captain Zhao. "
She tried to speak to me in a playful and witty tone.
But in reality, this tone seemed to be suppressed to a certain extent, making it sound like a disguise.
Of course, this might be related to Liu Yifei's mental state. Jin Ling was a boss with a conscience. She was kind and caring to each of her close friends.
Liu Yifei's matter was enough for Jin Ling to be sad and angry.
I said, "Don't.
I can't accept it. "
Boss Zong, what's wrong with Liu Yifei now?
Jin Ling quickly corrected me, "You're calling me Boss Zong again?
And you said you didn't blame me!
Yifei's mood is a bit too calm right now. She cries from time to time and is moody.
I'm really worried. "
I said, "It's really hard for her to suffer this kind of persecution.
Try to persuade her more and make her stronger. "
Jin Ling said, "Aren't you going to come and see her?
No matter what, you're still Yifei's good friend.
She trusts you. "
I said, "Am I?
She's a big star, I'm just a security guard. If I go, I'll lose face for her. "
But I'll have to trouble you to say something in front of her. Just say I'm busy and can't go. "
Jin Ling said anxiously, "You have to come."
Zhao Long, do you know what Yifei said yesterday? "
I said, "I don't know."
I don't really want to know.
I don't really care about other people's evaluation.
I just want to be myself. No matter what other people say, I'm still me. "
Jin Ling said, "Last night, Yifei cried and said that if the security guards around her were as capable as you, they wouldn't have let that perverted deputy minister of the Ministry of Public Security catch the opportunity to secretly take photos of her … She was so excited, she even said that she wanted you to be her escort for life … Yifei, she …"
I interrupted Jin Ling and couldn't help but ask, "You also think this was done by Minister Lin?"
Jin Ling said, "The newspapers reported it, the police also identified it.
Such a big government official, doing this kind of despicable thing, it's really hateful to the extreme.
This kind of person should be shot! "
Now it's a case of mutual destruction. Poor Yifei, she's still young, she still has a long way to go. "
I said thoughtfully, "There are people more pitiful than Liu Yifei!"
Okay, Jin Ling, I have to go back, talk to you later. "
Jin Ling hurriedly asked, "You really don't want to come and see Yifei?
She's been talking about your good points. I can see that she really wants to see you, she really wants you to come and comfort her. "
"As a friend, you should take the time to come and see her. Maybe your comfort will be useful."
I said, "I'm not a friend."
Liu Yifei just treats me as a temporary bodyguard.
No matter how good a bodyguard is, I'm still just a bodyguard.
I can't be friends with my employer. "
Jin Ling said with some displeasure, "What are you talking about?"
I said, "I'm telling the truth.
I suddenly remembered Director Lin's instructions. He said to let me get close to Liu Yifei a little, maybe I'll get something unexpected. "
How could I forget this? "
So I quickly changed my words and said, "Okay, okay, I'll go and see Liu Yifei today or tomorrow.
Tell me her address. "
Jin Ling finally said with a trace of relief, "That's right.
Remember, her current address is Beijing, 372 Haidian Road, Xianhua Xinyuan Villa, District 3, 26. "
I said, "Okay, I'll remember it.
I'll go. "
Jin Ling said, "Then I'll stay for a day or two and wait for you."
I said, "You don't care about such a big company?"
Jin Ling said, "Friends are more important than business.
If something happens to you one day, I can sell Jin Group. "
I was stunned and said with a smile, "You're exaggerating. A Jin Group is worth tens of billions, you're willing?"
Jin Ling said, "I'm willing. It seems to be a kind of expensive bar?"
Haha.
I didn't have time to think about Jin Ling's words, and answered with a smile.
After hanging up, I walked back to the headquarters with a cigarette in my mouth.
At eight o 'clock in the morning, I handed over my work to Li Quntao, Qi Mengyan, and the other core members of the brigade. Then I drove to the headquarters.
On the way, I didn't drive very fast because I was wondering why Chen Fusheng had called me.
At 7: 45, I arrived at the headquarters.
The security guard on duty at the entrance let me in and saluted.
After I honked in return, I parked the car in the parking lot.
Walking to Chen Fusheng's office, I ran into Holy Phoenix Hua Xiangying on the first floor staircase.
She was still wearing her light beige clothes, which didn't match her complexion.
After seeing me, she broke into a smile, showing her white teeth, and said, "Captain Zhao, you're back.
Are you going to see Mr. Chen? "
I was stunned and said, "How did you know?"
Holy Phoenix said, "It's simple. What can he do at the base? He can't be back to play."
I answered with a smile.
But for some reason, seeing the Holy Phoenix under such circumstances gave him an uncomfortable feeling.
In fact, I felt like I was a thief.
I said, "Mr. Chen called me and asked me to come over. What's the matter?"
Holy Phoenix's eyes turned and said, "He thinks highly of you.
Do you even need to say it?
Mr. Chen has a habit of talking to the core members of the company on a regular basis. Even if there's nothing important, he still has to talk.
It's called communicating and understanding the situation. "
I said, "Oh." Then I turned and went upstairs.
Holy Phoenix looked at my back and said, "Good luck."
I said without looking back, "Thank you."
I stopped in front of Chen Fusheng's office and knocked on the door.
"Come in!"
It was still a deep and powerful male voice.
Walking into the office, I immediately felt a bit more nervous.
Chen Fusheng was sitting on his chair and talking on his phone. I felt a bit awkward and quickly said in a soft voice, "I'll come in later, Mr. Chen."
Chen Fusheng waved his hand, indicating that I didn't need to leave and that I should sit down and wait for a while.
I walked a few steps and sat on the sofa.
Chen Fusheng covered the phone with one hand and said to me, "Wait a moment, Zhao Long."
I nodded.
I lowered my head slightly and glanced at Chen Fusheng out of the corner of my eyes. He was talking on the phone with one hand and resting the other on the desk. The heavy jade ring on his finger looked especially sparkling under the light.
He was tapping his fingers on the desk rhythmically.
I couldn't help but wonder if he was a musician. Even this simple action was different and had a rhythm.
