C67 Old Matters
All emotions have been sorted out at the moment of eye contact.
Lin Jia's performance was commendable. She looked at Su Huai with a smile that was not a smile, as if she did not know that he had once gifted that bouquet of roses that represented love, as if she did not know that he had arranged to move overnight, as if she did not understand the entanglement behind the disappearance of this week.
She didn't know anything and didn't feel anything, so she should naturally treat his reappearance indifferently.
"Deputy Director Su, look at your people, they've all lost a lot of weight. Where did you go on this long vacation to be cool? To your favorite Vancouver? Virginia? Or Australia, where you've always wanted to go?"
He Cheng Qian first quickly said these words in English. Then, as if he had thought of something, he deliberately opened his mouth after realizing it. "Look at my memory. Your English has always been bad. You probably don't understand what I just said, right? Don't worry, don't worry. I'll translate it for you. I'm asking you, where are you going on a long vacation. . . "
" Su family's old residence. " Su Huai's tone was cold.
This answer that was obviously not within his expectations actually caused He Cheng Qian to be stunned in the distance, and he even forgot to continue his incessant ridicule.
Su Huai strolled leisurely and arrived at the other end of the long table. His gaze slid across the mineral water bottle that was thrown on the ground. There were some emotions in the middle of his pupils, but he was not in a hurry to express them.
He chose a seat and sat down.
It formed a triangle with the position of Lin Jia and He Chengqian.
"What is it? My answer surprised you? The Su family's old residence is my home. Is there something wrong with me going back there? " Su Huai's hands overlapped as he placed them down, and the barrage of attacks in his eyes fell on He Cheng from beginning to end.
"What other old residence does the Su Clan have? Weren't they already thoroughly sealed up by the court a long time ago? How did you enter? Sneaking open the seal of the court and slipping in through the window? This is against the law. After you were reported, you were prepared to go in and accompany that damned father of yours. . . Aiyo. . . "
He Cheng Qian's indecisive words disappeared after a low cry.
What hit his head was a plastic folder.
The person who did it was Lin Jia.
After considering that the folder would fly out and be dodged by the target like when she threw the mineral water bottle, Lin Jia simply picked up the folder and walked to He Cheng's side. She aimed at He Cheng's head and directly slapped him.
Assistant Bei and Little Zhu were still present, and He Cheng Qian's sudden and overbearing manner towards Su Huai already caused the two of them to be very uncomfortable.
Lin Jia suddenly did this again. After a crisp sound, He Cheng Qian was so angry that his face turned red and his neck was thick, and he almost broke his cultivation and fell out on the spot. On the other hand, the others had dumbstruck expressions as they looked foolishly at Lin Jia, and they were surprised to the point of not knowing what expression they should make to express their complicated feelings at this moment.
"Respect the elders and say 'Ludo'. This is a courtesy that all children know. Manager He must be much more sensible than other children, right?" After Lin Jia finished beating him up, she left. She went to the door and sat at the seat closest to the exit.
She, Su Huai, and He Cheng Qian still maintained a stable triangular distance. If He Cheng Qian went crazy, she would be able to turn around and leave immediately. She would absolutely not go head to head with the madman and not suffer a loss before her eyes.
Assistant Bei and Xiao Zhu stood on her left and right. If one looked carefully, one would notice that the corners of the two assistants' mouths seemed to be faintly trembling. It couldn't be helped. Their initial impression and worldview had been overturned too much, and they still couldn't come back to their senses.
The person who was similarly disturbed was Su Huai.
He had originally prepared many words to go against He Cheng.
But Lin Jia suddenly made a move in front of others. That move not only stunned He Cheng, but also stunned him. On his side, he was also somewhat at a loss. He had completely forgotten what he had wanted to say.
"Everyone, I have something to talk to Manager He in private. Can you give us a private space?" Su Huai spoke.
Lin Jia's gaze carried inquiry as she looked at Su Huai.
Su Huai nodded calmly. "Please. "
"In order to ensure the normal order of the project team, I won't leave too far away. If I hear any disturbing sounds in the meeting room, I'll immediately call the police. " Lin Jia gave He Chengqian a warning look, then led Assistant Bei and Xiao Zhu out of the door.
The door of the conference room was closed again.
Su Huai's expression was icy cold. "You shouldn't have appeared here. "
"Are you afraid?" He Cheng Qian's gaze was fierce and fierce, as if every time he met Su Huai, he would have that sort of expression that seemed as if he would go berserk at any moment.
Each time, he would be more ferocious than the last.
"Afraid? Why should I be afraid? Cheng Qian, I've been actively trying to think of a way to resolve this. However, time is too tight, so the sudden events didn't give us any chances at all. " Su Huai had said similar words countless times, and because he repeated and repeated them again and again, his guilt and reluctance had long since faded like water.
"The so-called proactive way of thinking has always been perfunctory, delaying, lying, and deceiving. Isn't that right? Your Su Clan has a great business. Even if there is a problem, solving some of the smaller problems is as easy as lifting a finger. Su Huai, I didn't make any excessive requests. I only want to take back the part that belongs to me! The part that you promised!! This is what I deserve! Isn't it? " He Cheng Qian wiped his face. His sarcastic expression ruined his originally decent appearance. He suddenly felt a little harsh. "There are some things that will never be easily flipped over. You have to pay back your debts, and you have to pay back your life even more. Su Huai, you don't want to involve other unrelated people. It's best to consider it carefully as soon as possible. "
"I didn't return it to you? It's your insatiable greed. You ask for it again and again, but you never know how to satisfy it. " Su Huai raised his voice slightly, but his mood did not rise or fall much.
He Cheng used the same reason every time he came to cause trouble.
Repeating his sorrow over and over again.
Repeating his grievances over and over again.
After listening to it too many times, he slowly began to feel numb.
Su Huai looked coldly at He Cheng's distorted and savage face. "In the end, I have to let go of the past. "
"Let bygones be bygones? Of course you want me to put it down! Su Huai, I'll also clearly tell you that it's impossible to find such an easy thing in the world. What you owe has to be returned in the end. If you don't pay it back clearly, then continue to pester me endlessly. In any case, I'm all alone, and all I have is time to waste with you. " He Cheng Qian's voice stopped.
The door of the conference room opened.
Zhang Xiaoyan stood there and stared at Su Huai for a few seconds with a complicated expression. Then, her gaze shifted to He Chengqian's side. "It's time to leave. "
"Little Yan, aren't you going to say hello to Deputy Director Su? After all, you can be considered old acquaintances. " He Cheng Qian raised his hand and touched the earring.
As long as there were outsiders present, he would always be the first to restrain all his madness, looking no different from an ordinary person.
When his emotions switched too freely, it gave people a strange and uncomfortable feeling.
"Hello, Deputy Director Su. " Zhang Xiaoyan pursed her lips. After exchanging a glance with Su Huai, she quickly shifted her gaze away.
"There are still many opportunities for us to meet in the future. Don't act so petty. You'll make Deputy Director Su laugh at you. " As soon as He Chengqian finished speaking.
Zhang Xiaoyan looked as if she had been pricked by a needle. She quickly raised her head and glared at Su Huai with resentment.
The confession failure that night left an indelible impression in the heart of this girl. All of her emotions finally transformed into emotions that were difficult to get rid of. She stopped there, recalling what He Chengqian had said. She firmly believed that wherever she lost face, she had to get it back from, and Su Huai could not love her. But she hoped that Su Huai would always remember her, and no matter what method it was, it would be fine. She wanted him to never forget it for the rest of his life.
Thus, Zhang Xiaoyan forced herself to smile at Su Huai. "Yeah. With Silken Entertainment this project, there's still a lot of opportunities to get along in the future. Vice Director Su, then I'll ask you to take care of me. "
- -
He Cheng Qian left with Zhang Xiaoyan.
Su Huai, on the other hand, did not walk out of the meeting room.
Lin Jia stood at the door of the meeting room with a complicated expression. She had a hesitant expression and did not know if she should knock on the door and enter.
After hesitating for a few seconds, she finally lost some courage. What should she say when she sees him after entering? It seemed like nothing was right. Between her and him, there was an invisible wall.
Lin Jia's heart quickly backed away.
She laughed at herself. She remembered that she still had a lot of work to do, so she turned around to leave.
At this moment, a low voice sounded behind her, "Lin Jia?"
Lin Jia stood where she was and took a deep breath. Then, she turned around as if nothing had happened. "Deputy Director Su, long time no see. "
He looked into her eyes and raised his eyebrows. "That's all?"
"What is it?" Lin Jia didn't understand what he meant.
"After a long time, you just want to say 'long time no see' to me?" He did not hide his disappointment. There were thousands of words hidden in his beautiful peach blossom eyes. He showed it to her, but he was not willing to say it easily.
"What else? What else can I say?" Lin Jia was stunned.
"You can ask me, where have you been these few days? Why did you move without saying a word? Why didn't I tell you before I left? Why didn't I take the initiative to contact you or respond to your contact these days?" He thought of many questions for her in one go.
"Why do you want to ask?" Lin Jia did not change her expression and looked at him with a smile that was not a smile.
"I guess you want to know. " He took a step forward and closed the distance between them.
"You guessed wrong. " After a second of pause, Lin Jia smiled brightly. "As you can see, during the days when Vice Director Su wasn't around, I accepted a rather large project, and the team was built by me. All aspects that need to be considered, not only must you quickly enter a working state, but you also have to be wary of external forces like He Cheng Qian causing trouble. Every day, I have to face new challenges. When I am not free, I am thinking about my work. When I'm free, I just want to sleep. "
"Looks like I'm thinking too highly of myself again. " Su Huai took another half step forward.
At such a distance, he was able to smell the faint sweet fragrance on Lin Jia's body. It was very familiar, very nice to smell, and it was the smell from his memories.
"If there's nothing else, I'll have to go do it. " Lin Jia had no expression on her face.
The moment she turned around to leave, her arm was suddenly gripped tightly by someone.
The next second, the door to the conference room was opened and she was dragged into the space between him and her.
