    Chapter 05

    Since the last phone call with Luo Ting, Lin Hui has been thinking about leaving. Luo Ting advised him not to be impulsive, aside from He Jianshan, Wan Zhu's job was suitable for Lin Hui, and he still had a mortgage, so he should also consider practical issues.

    But the date arrangement with Min Jia reminded Lin Hui that he was thirty and He Jianshan was thirty-five.

    Even if He Jianshan is not interested in love and marriage, the people around him have been staring at this high-quality diamond king. In the past two years, the number of people who want to introduce girls to him has obviously increased. If He Jianshan can push it, he will push it. When Lin Hui told Luo Ting about this for the first time, Luo Ting was stunned and complained, "I didn't expect that I could not escape a blind date." Lin Hui smiled and said, "I still eat convenience stores with me at this price. As for the instant noodles, although I only took one bite."

    In this secret love, Lin Hui was a loner. He was happy and painful because of He Jianshan. He didn't want to respond, and he didn't think about the future. He is like a gambler, madly overdrafting his emotions, loving day by day.

    When he was about to get off work, He Jianshan asked Lin Hui to "continue" with him.

    "Continuation" is a bar opened by He Jianshan's friend Xue Pei, who also participated in the stock in order to support his friend's career. Its location was chosen by He Jianshan on the famous Xifeng Road in Jinghua City. Xifeng Road is an old street. Originally, there were old buildings and old communities on both sides. Later, the government demolished a part, remodeled a part, and re-planned and adjusted it while retaining the original features. It has become a cultural and creative block with a strong sense of art. "Continuation" is at the end of Xifeng Road, passing through the lush boulevard, and you can see a two-story small building decorated with style, that is "Continuation". Whenever He Jianshan felt tired and needed to relax, he would come here to drink and chat. Lin Hui and He Jianshan have been together a few times. Although it was a private occasion, He Jianshan felt that it would be better to take Lin Hui with him, although he couldn't tell exactly what was better.

    He Jianshan's private itinerary usually involves driving a lot by himself. After Lin Hui got his driver's license, he drove away. Speaking of which, Lin Hui has to thank He Jianshan for successfully getting his driver's license. One time, Zhao Jianhua, the driver of He Jianshan, asked for leave, and other drivers in the company also made arrangements. He Jianshan asked Lin Hui if he had a driver's license. Lin Hui admitted that he had already paid the money, but he had no time to go.

    He Jianshan gave a rare smile: "When Lao Zhao comes back, let him teach you."

    In this way, when Zhao Jianhua came back from vacation, the first task he received was to teach Assistant Lin to drive for an hour every day, using the general manager's million-dollar private car for practice.

    This starting point is too high.

    The venue where they practiced was an abandoned factory area. There were nails and iron sheets everywhere, and a lot of materials were piled up in a mess. Lin Hui drove with trepidation, for fear of scratching the car.

    Seeing this, Zhao Jianhua said: "Lin help you relax your hands, don't hold the steering wheel so tightly, I'm next to you, and everything will be fine."

    Lin Hui said with a bitter face: "No, boss, this car is too expensive, I'm afraid."

    "There is insurance, you won't be compensated if you rub it, you relax."

    "I don't think I should use such a good car to practice. It's like finding a doctor to teach a first-year child's math problems. The effect may not be as good as the training class at the school gate."

    Zhao Jianhua was amused by him: "The principle of driving is the same. If you are proficient here, you can save a lot of trouble when you wait for the driving school."

    The day Lin Hui got his driver's license, the first thing he did was to send a red envelope to Zhao Jianhua, and the second thing was to sit in the car and ask He Jianshan if he could drive him to the government meeting today.

    Zhao Jianhua said with a smile, "Assistant Lin, you just got your driver's license and you're thinking of laying me off?" Originally, Zhao Jianhua didn't dare to joke in front of He Jianshan, but he and Lin Hui were too familiar, and he was in the car. The atmosphere was so good that he couldn't help but relax.

    Lin Hui laughed when he heard it.

    He Jianshan glanced at Lin Hui's eager expression, a little helpless, but nodded, "Old Zhao, sit next to me and watch."

    By now, Lin Hui was very accustomed to driving He Jianshan's car, and even as soon as he got in, his mobile phone automatically connected to the car's Bluetooth. After Lin Hui clicked a few random points, music began to play in the car.

    When Lin Hui was driving, He Jianshan rarely spoke to him. He sometimes looked at his phone, sometimes closed his eyes, and Lin Hui occasionally glanced at him quietly through the rearview mirror. However, today He Jianshan didn't do anything, quietly watching Lin Hui's straight back, not knowing what he was thinking.

    Lin Hui felt it.

    But he didn't ask anything, just drove silently to his destination in the midst of the gentle music, through the fog-like lights and a verdant green.

    Arrived at "continue" at 9pm, just in time. As soon as they entered, they went straight to the only VIP box on the second floor, which was reserved for He Jianshan all year round. Xue Pei had sobered up and waited for a long time. When he saw someone finally coming, he smiled and said, "Lin Hui, I haven't seen you for a long time."

    Xue Pei is a warm and hearty person, and because of He Jianshan, Lin Hui is also familiar with him. He has opened several bars in Jinghua, some of which are so hot and noisy that they need hearing aids, and there are also bars like "Continuation", where there is a live singing band, and the environment and atmosphere are peaceful and comfortable. A few years ago, Lin Hui and Luo Ting often had parties here. Later, Luo Ting's wife was added. coming.

    "It's mainly because the business here is so good. Every time I pass by, it's full of people, so I can't get in line." Lin Hui smiled and exchanged a few words with Xue Pei, then went downstairs and found a place to sit down and wait. Sing with the band.

    Lin Hui actually likes to "continue". He Jianshan chatted with Xue Pei in the box, while he liked to sit in the corner and watch other people drink and listen to the band sing.

    easy

    Cozy. The bartender of "Continuation", Ken, knew Lin Hui, and when he saw him sitting down, he gave him a new drink called "Ice Summer Night", a dark blue drink mixed with ice cubes. "The customer's must-have product, favored by women. Lin Hui didn't know whether to laugh or cry. After tasting it, he couldn't tell what it tasted like. The ice was pretty cold anyway.

    At this moment, He Jianshan in the box on the second floor also raised his wine glass. He and Xue Pei touched it casually, took a sip, put it down, and looked outside instead. One side of the box is a one-way glass mirror, where he can see the entire bar. Xue Pei followed his gaze and found that he was looking at Lin Hui.

    Xue Pei couldn't help laughing and said, "Tell me that you, the black-hearted boss, has been on duty all day, and when you come to drink after get off work, you have to ask Assistant Lin to follow him. Are you bothered?"

    He Jianshan was stunned for a moment, as if he hadn't thought about this issue.

    "I don't think he's even had the time to engage with someone."

    He Jianshan just wanted to refute Wan Zhu's working hours from 9 to 5, which was not so exaggerated, but then thought that Lin Hui was with him, he was much busier than others, and often worked overtime, so he closed his mouth again angrily.

    Xue Pei shook his head: "Lao He, I didn't say it. You can't just catch a goat when Lin Hui is capable, and you have to let him rest."

    He Jianshan said with a cold face: "The Wanzhu system is sound, and Lin Hui has at least half a month's annual leave every year."

    "What's the use? Although I haven't worked, I also know that even if a big company like yours is on vacation, the phone calls will definitely keep coming."

    He Jianshan was silent.

    Xue Pei knew that he was right, and added more fire: "In the future, if you come to me, I will make others Lin Hui. It's very tiring to work all day, so what if you come to the bar, look relaxed, even a glass of champagne. Can't drink."

    From He Jianshan's point of view, you can see Lin Hui's hand on the blue glass. His eyes are fixed on the band, and he seems to be listening carefully, but his face is expressionless, the corners of his mouth are slightly drooping, and the surroundings are relaxed. Joy, Lin Hui seemed out of place in it. In fact, since the last chat in the reception room, He Jianshan clearly felt that Lin Hui was not in a good mood. He also reflected on whether he was too strict and ignored Lin Hui's feelings. Perhaps, he should replay it to Lin. Take a leave, or split some of his work out.

    "...he could actually refuse."

    "Who dares to reject his own boss?"

    He Jianshan felt that Xue Pei still didn't understand Lin Hui, Lin Hui dared to refuse, and he had rejected He Jianshan many times.

    One year they went to Japan for inspection, and the host warmly invited them to experience the local cultural characteristics, the bamboo forest hot spring. He Jianshan was actually not interested, but he felt that Lin Hui and his entourage might want to go and agreed, but in the end, only Lin Hui refused.

    "Mr. He, I want to sleep." Lin Hui looked serious.

    He Jianshan was actually a little surprised, he thought that Lin Hui would like such activities. But don't go if you don't go. In the end, He Jianshan and the others went to the appointment, while Lin Hui lay in the hotel and slept well he slept soundly. The vice president of the group brought him a late-night snack. shout.

    Moreover, Lin Hui not only rejected He Jianshan, but also often perfunctory him.

    Because of work, He Jianshan and Lin Hui often eat together. He noticed that Lin Hui always likes to make rice with vegetarian soup, so he casually mentioned that "soup with rice is not good for the stomach". Faced with the concern from the boss, Lin Hui naturally nodded repeatedly and said, "You are right, it's not good, it won't be like this next time." It sounded sincere, but in fact, Lin Hui didn't take it to heart at all, he just went his own way. He Jianshan also didn't understand how a person with a particularly serious and meticulous work could be so casual in life.

    He Jianshan did not explain to Xue Peiduo, but just looked at Lin Hui again. The downstairs gradually became lively, and music filled every corner of the "continuation". All the people in the bar were listening to the same song, but Lin Hui was the only one who was distracted from the notes and had a lot of thoughts.
