C86 A Child's Play
"I do have a reason to hate you. " Lin Jia pushed him away with all her might, trying her best to keep a distance between the two of them. Being so close to her made her heart beat violently, and she was almost unable to breathe.
"Are you sure?" A trace of anger flashed across her eyes.
"I mean the past! The past!" Lin Jia quickly explained, "When you just entered the company, there was no foundation for peaceful coexistence between us. To be able to stay calm was already good enough for me to recuperate!"
"What happened after that? Why did you fall in love with me?" Su Huai's finger faintly slid down from her neck.
"That's because. . . Wait, when did I like you?" It was only after she left that she didn't discover the trap in her words.
"Like is like, like, just admit it. The greatest difficulty for a person is actually to face themselves, but when you face them more honestly, you will realize that you feel much better! " Su Huai endured his heart and patiently guided.
Lin Jia blinked and did her best to restore her chaotic brain to normal operation.
"Su Huai?"
"I'm listening. "
She held her breath. "He suddenly barged into my house and suddenly said so much. Do you think I resigned because of you?"
Su Huai's expression changed slightly to become slightly terrifying.
Lin Jia, however, continued to speak as if she didn't see it, "If you have such thoughts. . . Actually, it's completely unnecessary. The real reason why I resigned was because I was sick of f * cking internal conflicts that made people feel uneasy. I just want to handle the work in my hands perfectly. I don't want my life to be too complicated. It was already very hard to deal with the unexpected situations at work every day. I still have to constantly think about dealing with some interpersonal matters. It's too tiring! Today, the f * cking highest level of HMF is already here. Actually, under such a situation, No matter what decision I make, it's destined to be wrong, even with the success of the Jin Xiu project in front of me. Every step I take is still difficult, even though the thought of resignation suddenly arises in my mind. Didn't you always say that my mind only has overtime? But who really likes to only have work in life? It's just that I can't stop being drawn into that sort of inertia! "
The corners of her bitter lips curled up, and her body slowly relaxed. She was like an extremely tired cat leaning against the gap between the bed and him, but there was a trace of relaxation and relief that she would only have after she put it down.
"All this time, the thought of resigning has always been in my mind. I just lack a bit of courage, or rather, I lack a suitable opportunity. But when this opportunity comes, With courage, making a farewell is actually much easier than imagined. " Lin Jia lightly patted Su Huai's shoulder. "It's alright, that's the decision I made myself. I won't regret it. "
Su Huai had always listened to her and didn't interrupt her.
But his expression was absolutely not good, and his entire person emitted a dangerous and terrifying aura.
Lin Jia made a swallowing motion and lightly pushed him, wanting to separate the two of them in a line of distance.
She still couldn't push him. It was as if he was frozen stiff, and his entire person was in front of her.
"Alright, that's all. Just say it clearly. "
He finally made a move. His body turned and left her, but he still sat beside her and did not go far.
"When are you coming back?" He stared at the suitcase and the clothes that were scattered around. He only felt that it was eye-piercing.
"I haven't left yet. How would I think about coming back? It should be at least one or two months. I want to stay at home for a while longer, then go out and take a walk. "
Her wishful thinking had just begun when it was interrupted.
"No!" He had a cold expression.
Lin Jia:???
"You saw it too. My friend is staying here for the time being and won't leave. With her guarding the house, it doesn't matter how long I go out!" Anyway, he would come back to work after he was tired of playing.
"You can't leave for so long. " Su Huai's expression was extremely terrible.
"Why?" Lin Jia combed her hair and asked in puzzlement.
"I need your help. " He only hesitated for a moment before he became much more determined. "Only you can help me with this!"
Lin Jia became even more confused.
- - - -
After Su Huai left, Ceng Xiaoru's heart of gossiping exploded. She stayed by Lin Jia's side and asked all sorts of questions, not leaving Su Huai with three sentences. In the open and in the dark, she wanted to ask what their current relationship was? What stage had it developed to? What plans did she have in the future? Su Huai seemed to be tall and handsome, and when he stood next to Lin Jia, he was also a good match for Lin Jia, and it really caused one to look forward to it very much.
Lin Jia had a perplexed expression. It wasn't that she didn't want to answer Ceng Xiaoru's question, but there were some things that even she herself couldn't figure out.
Su Huai confessed several times.
But every time after that intense and impactful feeling passed, he would disappear for a long time in one breath. Not contacting, not appearing, not explaining, causing the matter from before to be left unsettled and let go of by Lin Jia herself.
After repeatedly pestering her a few times, Lin Jia told herself to let nature take its course and not be disturbed by Su Huai's rhythm.
Then, what was her relationship with Su Huai? This question really wasn't easy to answer.
It had surpassed the limits of a friend, yet she hadn't reached the limit of a lover. It was roughly like this!
"So you don't plan to go back for the time being?" Zeng Xiaoru changed her posture and looked at her expectantly.
"It wasn't decided in the end. Su Huai said he had something to ask for my help, but. . . " Lin Jia's face was full of helplessness, "He disappeared for another three days. "
"Disappeared?" Ceng Xiaoru didn't really understand the meaning of this word. However, she was a person who had just broken up, so she quickly understood what it meant. She immediately clenched her fist in anger and said, "You mean you lost contact? This illness cannot be spoiled. After a long period of time, you will get used to it. You will suffer!"
Wasn't her ex-boyfriend challenging her bottom line step by step and eventually turning her green? There was a period of time when he disappeared for no reason. He didn't answer the call and didn't reply. At first, there was a hypocritical explanation. . . But later on, there wasn't even an explanation. Zeng Xiaoru could not figure out how the two of them ended up breaking up, but every time she thought about it. . . She felt the pain in her heart. She had learned her lesson.
"Let's find a chance to have a good talk with him! The two of us need to build an effective way to communicate and understand each other better. Go and try first. If you really can't come to an agreement, then go according to the original plan. Do what you need to do, and you don't have to think about giving in. " Zeng Xiaoru gave a thumbs up. "Trust me, you're right. "
"You're contacting me on your own accord?" Lin Jia asked hesitantly.
"Of course! What era is it now? Women must see what they want. When it's time to take the initiative, take the initiative. When it's time to be passive, take the initiative. Only by grasping the rhythm in my hands can I ensure that I am invincible and hold the man I like tightly in my hands. "
Lin Jia was simply stunned.
"Xiaoru, I didn't expect you to be so powerful. " Lin Jia couldn't help but want to applaud her.
Unexpectedly, Zeng Xiaoru's guilty smile quickly faded. "I'm a standard theoretical person. When I'm a bystander, I can guide my friends and be a love advisor. When it comes to myself, I can't escape being emotional. Jiajia. . . I admire people like you who have strong self-control, because you always know what you really want. You will always work hard according to the set goal, and I. . . "
She sighed and thought of some unhappy things, so she hugged the cat and walked away.
Lin Jia sat cross-legged on the sofa and tilted her head as she thought for a while. Her eyes gradually landed on the phone and froze.
She really should have contacted Su Huai once. He shouldn't have left in a carefree manner after disrupting her. If he had always intended to use a distant method to get along with her, then she would personally say to him that he couldn't!
Not long after the message with hidden anger was sent, the doorbell of Lin Jia's house rang.
When the door opened, Su Huai squeezed his way in. His peach blossom eyes glanced over. He glanced at Ceng Xiaoru and then opened his mouth, "I'll leave you twenty minutes to prepare properly. I'll take you to see some people. "
"Who?" Lin Jia had no idea what had happened.
"You'll know when we get there. Don't waste your time. Hurry up and get ready. " Pushing her into the bathroom, Su Huai stood at the door and added, "Don't dress up too casually, just follow your routine at work. "
Taking out a lipstick from her bathroom cabinet, Su Huai reminded, "Remember to wipe this one!"
Lin Jia:. . . "
Why didn't she notice in the past that Su Huai actually knew how to use lipstick?
Fortunately, Lin Jia had long since gotten used to dealing with all sorts of unexpected situations in the past, transforming from a housewife beautiful girl into a professional pretty girl in twenty minutes wasn't difficult for her either.
When she walked out of the bedroom, Zeng Xiaoru clapped her hands. "Sure enough, this image suits you the best. The lipstick you wiped today made you directly become a domineering queen. You're so handsome. "
The corners of Lin Jia's mouth curled up as she subconsciously looked at Su Huai. Su Huai's attention had been focused on her from the beginning to the end.
"If your image passes, you can set off now. "
"What about the Flourishing Flower Banquet and the Jade Sea Azure Sky?" Su Huai asked.
" It's in the bedroom. What's the matter? " Lin Jia revealed a surprised expression.
"Bring them along! They might be useful later. "
Just like that, the mysterious man and the confused woman drove across half of the city and finally arrived at the parking lot of an office building.
Lin Jia was not unfamiliar with this place because it was near the original company. They were separated by a street, about five to six hundred meters.
"What the f * ck are you going to do?"
Lin Jia got off the car and became even more curious. However, he kept silent and refused to answer a single question.
Su Huai's hand was passed to her, and his slender fingers naturally spread open as he waited for her.
"What are you doing?" Lin Jia looked at him in puzzlement.
"Give me your hand. " He ordered.
"Are you sure?"
"I'm absolutely sure!"
Thus, she openly handed her hand over, and Su Huai tightly clenched his fist as he walked shoulder to shoulder with her.
When he sat on the elevator, Su Huai didn't let go.
When the elevator arrived, Su Huai still held her hand tightly.
His palm was wide and wrapped tightly around her palm, and it was inexplicably safe.
On the tenth floor, there was an office building that was only about a hundred square meters. The door was half-closed.
Su Huai pushed open the door and entered.
There was a bright colored long table at the door. Zhou Siyu was wearing the latest Chanel dress of this season. She tied her fluffy hair into an elegant and playful bun and tied it up with a hairband inlaid with Shiva Shiqi crystal.
The diamond earrings on her earlobe shone brightly under the light.
Zhou Siyu stood up happily when she saw Lin Jia. "Hi, Miss Lin. Oh, no, it's Boss Lin. . . I'll take care of him in the future. "
"Why are you here too?" Lin Jia widened her eyes in confusion.
"Of course I'm at work!" Zhou Siyu seemed to have understood something as she turned her head to look at Su Huai. "No way, right? You're even hiding it from her?"
"It's working hours now, do your best!" Su Huai pulled Lin Jia towards the office area.
Only now did Zhou Siyu realize that the two of them walked in with their fingers clasped together and couldn't help but be shocked. "You two finally admit that we're already together?"
Lin Jia turned her head and wanted to explain, but Su Huai's footsteps were extremely swift in front of her.
She completely didn't have the time to do anything when she was taken away.
Two people were already sitting within the office area.
The boy was wearing a black T and jeans, holding a one-meter long guqin with one hand. He focused on adjusting the strings, his fingers fiddling with it from time to time, producing a crisp sound.
The girl had short hair. She was about 175 centimeters tall, extremely thin, had big eyes, and thick and long eyelashes. Her chin was pointed and she wore a handsome little suit. At first glance, she looked like a manga girl who had walked out of a two-dimensional world. She was cool to the point of bursting.
Each of them occupied a chair, ignoring each other and doing their own things.
Once Su Huai arrived, these people's movements were identical, and their gazes looked over at the same time.
"I hate waiting the most. "
"I'll kill you if you dare be late!"
The boys and girls spoke together, full of character.
Zhou Siyu closed the office door and walked in with the cute girl's thermos in her hands. She found a place that she liked and sat down, smiling at everyone in the office.
"Lin Jia, this is the entrepreneurship team I prepared for you. Zhou Siyu, you don't need to introduce yourself to anyone you know. " Su Huai pointed at the boy who was holding the guqin. "This is Jun Beibei. He's 23 years old and likes to play the guqin. " He then pointed at the girl who was about to kill him. "She's Luo Luoxue. She's extremely talented in design. "
"Start a business?" Lin Jia was shocked by these two words.
"Yes, start a business!" Su Huai pressed her onto a chair by his side. "We'll chat while holding a meeting. Everyone's time is very limited. Long story short, let's directly enter the main point. "
Lin Jia still had something to say. Her fingers suddenly felt the force that came from Su Huai.
Her heart was filled with countless questions, yet she could only swallow them in the end.
Alright. Since he'd already been brought here by Su Huai, the rest would be left to him. She listened quietly and didn't speak.
Su Huai was indeed planning to start a business. To be precise, he was planning to make her start a business.
He directly dug Zhou Siyu out from the f * ck and came to the workshop. Her position was still at the front desk, and her salary was a full third less than before. Moreover, from a listed company to an unknown small entrepreneurship team, the difference was like heaven and earth. However, Zhou Si Yu also agreed. God knows why she had agreed. Could it be because. . . Lin Jia's strange gaze shifted from Zhou Siyu to Su Huai. She moved from Su Huai to Zhou Tingyu and went back and forth a few times.
Jun Beibei had come to the company to announce and operate, and Su Huai said that he couldn't judge a book by its cover. He even said that he was trustworthy. But Jun Beibei was obviously not interested. When Su Huai said it, He was playing the zither in his hand the entire time, and he didn't care if the sound of the strings being plucked disturbed others or interfered with the progress of the meeting. It was obvious that he was the type of person who was used to doing things his own way. He was completely self-centered and disobedient.
Lin Jia was used to leading a team. It wasn't as if she had never encountered such a type of person before. However, in a situation where she could choose more space, she basically would not waste her time on training such a person.
Luo Luoxue had an extremely strong talent for designing, so she naturally came to be a designer. Su Huai intended to let Lin Jia and Luo Luoxue cooperate and develop a set of works with rich China-style designs. He would accurately locate the target client, first establish the company's reputation, and then seek for the next step of development.
For the time being, he would not discuss the feasibility of the entire entrepreneurship plan. Just Luo Luoxue, the designer, was not related to China's style. How should I put it? She should have appeared in all the major manga exhibitions across the country, cosplaying cool and arrogant anime images. Accepting the screams, shouts, and photos of her fans, she sat in her office, talking about designing and development in all seriousness. There was always a feeling of extreme disobedience.
Only Su Huai spoke seriously.
Besides Su Huai, everyone including Lin Jia had wandering expressions, and each of them had their own worries.
"OK, I'm done. If everyone has any suggestions or suggestions, we can begin. " Su Huai's gaze naturally descended onto Lin Jia's side.
Lin Jia smiled faintly, "What I want to ask is, why am I the legal representative of this company? When did I plan to start a business? How come even I don't know about such an important matter? "
She didn't like others deciding her future life on her behalf, even if that person was Su Huai.
" When we return later on this matter, the two of us can chat alone. Don't worry, I'll give you a satisfactory explanation. " He nodded, "Do you have any other questions?"
Lin Jia:!!!
What other questions could be more serious than this?
It was simply child's play.
"I hold a reserved attitude. I'll talk to you about other things later. Right now, I'm just sitting and listening!"
"Sure. " Su Huai replied and looked at Luo Luoxue. "What about you?"
"The salary and bonuses you promised are all counted, right?" Luo Luoxue was rather straightforward.
After getting an affirmative answer, she waved her hand indifferently. "First, transfer the three months' salary in advance to my card. Whatever you want me to do. "
Lin Jia:. . . "
There is such a mode of operation? She had gained a lot of experience.
Indeed, it was Su Huai's usual style. It was sloppy, unreliable, and inexplicable, without any logic to follow.
"North?" Su Huai's gaze turned towards the boy who'd been fiddling with the zither all along.
He was only 23 years old and was born with a baby face, and his skin was so fair that it was practically transparent. He always had his eyes hanging down and seemed to be indifferent. Besides the zither in his hand, he wasn't interested in the surrounding people and didn't have any good impression of this world.
"The agreement between you and me, I will naturally complete it once you've completed it. There's no need to say anything else, it's tiring, annoying, boring and a waste of time"
Su Huai's temper was much better than usual after being rebutted. He still remained calm even after facing three cold faces in succession, and his gaze descended onto Zhou Tingyu who had been fixing her makeup on the small mirror all along.
"Little Yu. " He was helpless and sighed.
Zhou Siyu sat up straight like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.
"Hey, if you have something to say, just tell me. Don't call me that. " The lipstick that she had taken out was twisted back. She completely lost her stinky mood. "It's better to hear you call me by my name. I feel more at ease. Otherwise, I keep feeling that I will be tricked by you at any time. I'm scared to death. "
As for a beauty, no matter what she did, it didn't go against the harmony.
Zhou Siyu had always been the coquettish type. She lightly patted her chest and her eyes moved. She was indescribably moving.
Lin Jia didn't know what kind of expression she should have. Su Huai had walked in with her finger held by his hand.
It had only been a short while. He actually spoke flirtatiously with another girl in front of her. . .
"Have you not told Miss Lin about our relationship?" Zhou Si Yu was a woman, and she was a very sensitive type.
Women were always the ones who understood women the most.
Although Lin Jia only had a slight change in expression, she had already noticed and accurately exposed the truth.
Su Huai's temple jumped three times in a row. He pressed. "I haven't had the time to say it yet. How busy have I been lately? It's not like you don't know! "
"You're born with a face that attracts bees and butterflies, so why would fate be given to you, such a straight man of steel? Sigh. . . I'm speechless. " Zhou Siyu had a defeated look on her face.
She raised her finger and looked at them seriously. "Forget it, I don't really understand how young people like you fall in love. If you're willing to drag it on, then continue. I won't disturb you anymore, I still have to go to work. "
After saying that, she turned around and left without any hesitation.
As for the job she was talking about, she just dressed up nicely and went to the front desk to sit down. The company was still small and didn't have many visitors. There was also no phone call. Zhou Siyu was still sitting "professionally" in her seat. The foundation, lipstick, and small perfume were lined up on the table. She prepared to put on makeup and study the latest fashion dressing. The front desk was the face of the entire company. Whether she looked good or not would affect the overall image of the company. Speaking of which, this matter was both serious and serious. Of course, she had to treat it seriously with 120 points of seriousness.
Su Huai and Lin Jia exchanged glances, and saw a similar feeling from the center of each other's pupils.
"Cough. . . " He covered his mouth and said, "You've already seen the new employees, then should we go out and chat?"
"We do need to find a place to talk seriously. " Lin Jia agreed.
She was already starting her own business, yet even she didn't know about such a big thing.
After leaving the building, they didn't drive. The two of them slowly walked along the street.
Su Huai hesitated a few times and wanted to hold her hand, but every time Lin Jia glared at him, his fingers would stiffly stop there and he was unable to continue forward.
When they arrived at a relatively familiar small restaurant, each of them ordered a bowl of noodles. They sat face to face and chatted as they ate.
"I have long had the idea of starting a business. This is not only to earn money, but also to do something meaningful. When I think about it in the future, I will feel a sense of accomplishment. I won't feel like I'm wasting my youth and wasting my youth. " Su Huai's eyes were filled with brilliance.
Lin Jia started to pour cold water on him. "It's good to have the idea of starting a business. It's also very good to be proactive in planning your life. But you can't be too casual. " She paused for a few seconds. In order to prevent Su Huai from not understanding the situation, she simply opened her mouth and spoke. "If you want to start a business, there are many conditions that need to be met. For example, you need to have enough capital to support the start-up. A like-minded and reliable team, a mature entrepreneurship concept, and a practical entrepreneurship plan. These. . . Do you have all of them?"
Su Huai shook his head. "I don't. "
Lin Jia didn't feel surprised in the slightest when she heard that. "Then you're completely wasting your time. You have quite a few f * cking matters over there as well, right? Doesn't your family's situation need you to resolve? Su Huai, please don't be so hot-headed as to suddenly decide to do some things. "
"But, you do. " He smiled gently and interrupted him.
"Me?" Lin Jia nodded and said, "When did I tell you that I want to start a business solo?"
"You've always had this thought in your heart, but you've been stalling. Now that you've left the f * cking time, it's perfect. Lin Jia, pick up the things you left behind. Your grandmother will very much hope to see you do these things in the sky! "
Su Huai's words caused Lin Jia to be speechless. Lin Jia's expression directly changed.
In that instant, a lot of emotions flashed through her mind. Intense anger, violent uneasiness, filled with guilt, as well as confusion after being seen through.
She gripped her palm with all her might. Her fingernails left a deep mark in the middle of her tender skin, and the pain spread out like ripples.
