C56 A Huge Misunderstanding
Lin Jia picked it up. When she first heard Su Huai's voice, she was stunned and her mind was distracted as she thought. Su Huai rarely used this kind of method to find her. He directly charged over without caring about anything and knocked on her door to ask her to do something.
On the phone, Su Huai asked about a bunch of work progress in an unusual manner, and Lin Jia was able to hear the rustling sound of his handwriting landing on the paper.
Su Huai, he was very serious in handling work.
It was so contradictory and incomprehensible. The investigation team's report had already pulled his evaluation to an intolerable negative, but Su Huai himself still gave her the feeling of diligence, excellence, enthusiasm, and hard work. . .
"Lin Jia, I was originally going to treat you to a meal tonight, but. . . " Su Huai's voice stopped. It should be that someone was talking to him over there, interrupting what he originally wanted to say.
Lin Jia waited patiently, thinking that it was also good to cancel the date that night. It was Su Huai who took the initiative to cancel, so even if Zhang Xiaoyan was disappointed, she could not say anything. After experiencing the matter of the investigation team, Lin Jia's rationality told her that it was best to maintain a certain distance from Su Huai. Presently, there was an invisible enormous vortex within the HMO company, and the center of the vortex was Su Huai.
She already showed signs of being drawn into it, and if she didn't escape as soon as possible, then she would only follow the flow and sink deeper and deeper until she was unable to extricate herself.
"Lin Jia, are you listening?" Su Huai raised his voice slightly.
"Yes, it's fine if you're busy and can't come out to eat. You can come another day. " Lin Jia said with understanding.
"Why should I cancel it? Wang Yao asked. I will remember what I promised you. Yes, I won't cancel the dinner date, but the time will be delayed by 20 minutes. I've already called the restaurant to change the appointment, so you can wait for me. Right?" When Su Huai said these words, there were always people who interrupted him non-stop.
He was really very busy.
The sudden promotion and many things that came after it was not just troublesome, there were also responsibilities as well as the enormous workload that suddenly came pressing over.
In the past, with Lin Jia by his side, Su Huai would intentionally or unintentionally think of a way to pass the work to Lin Jia and the other three colleagues that he was more familiar with.
And now, even if Su Huai wanted to do so in reality, the conditions wouldn't allow it. The gazes of all parties were focused on him, and they couldn't be sloppy when dealing with major or minor matters. Su Huai was so busy that he wished he could use 24 hours a day as 48 hours, and it wouldn't be strange for him to directly extend or cancel the date.
It was only 20 minutes late. It was only 20 minutes late, and it couldn't even be considered to be excessive.
But as Lin Jia thought in her heart, it was best that Su Huai took the initiative to cancel tonight's agreed dinner.
Just as she was thinking about how she should open her mouth to remind him, she heard Su Huai speak hesitantly: "I have some things I want to discuss with you in private. "
"Can't I speak on the phone?" Lin Jia tried her best to suppress her unwillingness.
"I'm a little busy right now. See you tonight. " She hung up the phone.
Lin Jia didn't even have time to say the words that she had prepared.
She snorted and felt the pain between her eyebrows intensify.
What was going on? Things were getting more and more difficult to control. God knew what would happen next.
This day was unexpectedly calm.
In order to get a smooth date, Zhang Xiaoyan was full of fighting spirit. She finished her work very quickly by four in the afternoon. Then, she went to the changing room to change into the long dress she had bought. She held the hairdryer she had brought from home and blew her hair.
Zhang Di said that he would submit the investigation report at four in the afternoon, but when the time came, he and the members of the investigation team did not come to look for Lin Jia again. Some things were quietly going on.
At six thirty, Zhang Xiaoyan set off for the western restaurant. In less than twenty minutes, she sent a message to Lin Jia, I've already sat down and waited. Miss Lin, I'm a little nervous. When I see Manager Su, will he be surprised to see me? Will he not listen to me and just stand up and leave?
Lin Jia could not give an answer to Zhang Xiaoyan's question.
Although Su Huai was a rather cold man in his bones, he was able to treat others courteously on the surface, right?
Before he could think of a way to comfort Zhang Xiaoyan, another message appeared on WeChat.
Su Huai: Last night, I wasn't in a very good mood.
Lin Jia:??
Su Huai: I feel a little guilty in my heart when I dragged you into this matter and brought you to the police station.
Lin Jia: What do you want to say?
Su Huai: We'll talk later when we meet. Have you arrived at the restaurant? Do you like the surprise I prepared for you?
When she saw the word "surprise," Lin Jia subconsciously raised her eyes to look at the electronic alarm clock on the table. 7: 19 PM. There were still 11 minutes to the appointed time.
Cough. Should she call Zhang Xiaoyan and ask her if she should? What surprise did Su Huai give? Was it really a surprise? Why did she feel a little frightened?
This thought flashed through her mind. Zhang Xiaoyan's WeChat message was sent over like a screen.
Zhang Xiaoyan: Miss Lin!! Miss Lin! Please come out and take a look. I can't believe my eyes. My God, my God, am I dreaming?!
After a series of exaggerated exclamation marks, it was a selfie of nine consecutive shots.
In the photo, Zhang Xiaoyan was holding a large bouquet of roses in her arms. The brilliant and arrogant red flowers made the makeup that Zhang Xiaoyan had meticulously drawn look even more alluring. She was really happy. With a big smile on her face, she excitedly made a V sign to Lin Jia.
Lin Jia was stunned.
Red Rose?
What was going on!
What medicine did Su Huai sell in his gourd?
A man giving flowers to a woman was originally an action that was easily misunderstood. Not to mention the red roses that were given as a token of love.
Zhang Xiaoyan: Miss Lin, you've already told Manager Su that I'm the one who's coming tonight, right? Didn't you say so? You still have to tell Manager Su in advance so that everyone won't feel awkward.
Lin Jia suddenly didn't know how to reply. She had indeed said that. . . But later on, she was interrupted by work and forgot about it.
If Su Huai didn't know that the person who went up to the appointment tonight was Zhang Xiaoyan, then the person he really wanted to give flowers to was actually. . .
Su Huai: Lin Jia, do you like roses?
Lin Jia's hand slipped and her phone flew out, directly landing on the ground with a crackling sound.
When she hurriedly picked it up, Zhang Xiaoyan and Su Huai's messages gushed in at the same time, and they were all questions related to roses. It was just that the two of them each spoke their own words. One was excited, and the other was filled with anticipation, and they were both waiting for her to answer.
Lin Jia felt that this sort of scene was too difficult to control. She grinned, wanting to cry but also wanting to laugh.
She didn't reply.
Intuition told her that some things would develop in a very strange and uncontrollable direction. She wanted to stop it, but how could she stop it?
Three minutes later, Lin Jia suddenly sat up straight: "No, we have to stop them from meeting. "
She grabbed her bag and hurriedly ran out.
Outside the office door, Zhang Di stood there with a cigarette in his hand. He didn't know how long it had been.
Lin Jia rushed out and bumped into him. In order to prevent her from falling, Zhang Di held her by the waist and supported her.
"Assistant Zhang? Why is it you?" Lin Jia was obviously stunned.
"I'm here to pick you up. " Zhang Di smiled and retracted his hand. "Go to the conference room. Everyone is waiting for you. "
