Chapter 40 A Yan who has a dream of sailing
As we all know, perfume is very volatile, even if the bottle cap is not opened, after staying in this small box for a period of time, the whole box, as well as the raffia used for shockproofing in the box, have all been stained with a faint light. Bergamot aroma.
Sweet, distant, and not to be ignored.
Liu Danxing thought that Bei Lanlan must have been furious when she received this kind of gift, and wished to smash the perfume bottle on the spot, but not only did she not smash it, but she also put it away, holding the box and preparing to bring it into the laboratory.
With a snap, the cross arm was in front of the door, and Liu Danxing warned Bei Lanlan: "Don't want to bring biochemical weapons into my laboratory."
Bei Lanlan raised her eyebrows, so she had to put the box in the cleaning room on the side, with her name on it, the cleaners shouldn't take it away.
Returning to the laboratory, Bei Lanlan patiently washed her hands three times according to Liu Danxing's request, and then returned to the place where she stood before, ready to replace the consumables for the experimental equipment.
When she was working, Liu Danxing looked at her like that.
After watching it for about three minutes, she couldn't help it, "Aren't you angry?"
Just as Bei Lanlan took off the old filter, she turned her head while squatting on the ground, blinked, and smiled at Liu Danxing: "It's okay."
Liu Danxing looked at her silently, and felt that there was a bit of water in these two words.
However, think about it from another perspective. If someone covets her girlfriend and provocatively comes to the door, she is afraid that she has the heart to kill.
Hey, what do you think about, it's all Bei Lanlan's own business.
Shrugging, she also returned to her place.
………………
In the evening, Bei Lanlan came home with a perfume box. Today Xin Yan didn't pick her up. The company had something to do temporarily, so she ate dinner at the company.
When Xin Yan came back, Bei Lanlan was already asleep. Xin Yan asked the housekeeper if anything happened. The housekeeper saw the box, and logically, he should report to Xin Yan. But recently the relationship between Xin Yan and Bei Lanlan has undergone tremendous changes. Before, Xin Yan didn't care about the details of Bei Lanlan's life at all, unless she wanted to run away, or did something that Xin Yan hated, then she would have the patience listen.
Now, Xin Yan cares about Bei Lanlan in every detail. At the same time, she has become respectful to Bei Lanlan. She is even more disgusted than Bei Lanlan for some things that are too broad and suspected of being voyeuristic.
Because the housekeeper didn't understand the line between caring and voyeurism, Xin Yan was reprimanded several times. This time, he thought carefully and cautiously for a long time, feeling that it was not a big deal, so he didn't say anything.
The box lay quietly in Bei Lanlan's room for two days, and Xin Yan didn't even know it existed.
That night, Xin Yan changed into an olive green sweater and white slacks, then put on a down jacket with a fur collar, and went out to dinner with Bei Lanlan.
This dress made her look much younger, and she did it on purpose, because not only the two of them were there, but also an elder, the other's surname was Hu, who was a friend of Xin Yan's father in the early years. People have never been in contact with each other at all. Although the company has cooperation, this is the first time for private communication.
There are so many partners in the company. If Bei Lanlan hadn't reminded her, she would never have remembered who it was. He was there on the day of the dinner party. With a few words, Bei Lanlan picked up the friendship of the next generation for her.
She didn't want to arrange this dinner so soon, but Bei Lanlan said that this Uncle Hu is about to get married, and his fourth wife is ten years older than him, a widow who has lived for a long time, and more importantly, this widow inherited She has a large inheritance from her early dead husband, and she also has a son who works in the provincial department.
what does that mean? This means that Uncle Hu will soon develop! In the fourth spring of life, who knows which direction it will blow him, it is hard to say what will happen in the future, but people can be ready now.
Xin Yan came here to catch up with this Uncle Hu, and by the way, she was looking forward to the day when she could pick some wool from him, and Bei Lanlan, she came to know the man who was said to be very knowledgeable through this surnamed Hu. The widow, the lady's surname is Huang, she doesn't have her own career, but she has been investing in new industries all these years. As a person who is almost 60 years old, her vision is quite vicious. Bei Lanlan wants to make her her own. next buyer.
The two of them have their own minds, and they coaxed the nearly fifty-year-old Uncle Hu to the point that they could hardly tell the difference between east, west and northwest.
When people are older, they like to reminisce about the past, they are easy to be emotional, and it is easy to make unwise decisions. Every young man watches the old man make mistakes, and all he thinks is that I will not become like him, and everyone knows what the result will be.
Before dinner, Xin Yan did a little research and found that Uncle Hu was also a half-ruthless character when he was young. With the money, he immediately opened a company of his own, which made ten times the profit in the second year, and became a local upstart. It was the same way that he met Xin Yan's father.
Xin Yan abides by the principle of watching people serve dishes, obediently puts on filial and soft clothes that elders like, and hides her edges and corners as much as possible, because she knows that the more powerful people are, the less they like them. Compete with others in court, otherwise, there will not be so many old men with sweet wives.
Xin Yan was very thoughtful, but she forgot the key point, this old man Hu, he didn't look for a sweet wife, he was looking for a lady with more style than himself.
At the dinner, the ruthless character of the year, Uncle Hu today, could not help crying.
"When your parents had an accident, I was abroad, and I didn't make it to the funeral! As soon as I received the news, I rushed back. Who would have encountered a tornado that has not been seen in a hundred years, I, you said me! Why do I have to be there Time to go on a business trip!"
Xin Yan: "..."
Bei Lanlan: "..."
This is a Chinese-style food stall restaurant. There are no private rooms. Uncle Hu designated to come here for dinner because he likes the lively atmosphere. Now, Xin Yan can no longer see the liveliness, but the other guests are all watching their liveliness.
At this time, Uncle Hu was still crying with sincerity: "After I came back, the first seven have passed, I wanted to find you, but you were picked up by your mother's family, I thought, it's all a family, They should be nice to you, who knows...who knows..."
He lowered his head, patted the table slowly and heavily with his palm, and his voice became lower and lower. Suddenly, he patted his thigh and said with great remorse: "It's all my fault! It's me who hurt you!!!"
Xin Yan sat on the chair numbly, watching the waiter running over and persuading him to go out and sober up. Fortunately, he still listened to the persuasion, otherwise Xin Yan would not know what to do.
With the waiter accompanying, Xin Yan didn't go out, feeling that everyone around was looking at her, Xin Yan couldn't even make a facial expression.
Finding that even Bei Lanlan was looking at her, Xin Yan rubbed her temples painfully, "Don't listen to his nonsense, his relationship with my dad is not that good, and I have seen him come to my house for a year. twice."
Bei Lanlan still looked at her, "What happened to your mother's family?"
Xin Yan didn't know either, she paused for a while, rummaged through her memories for a moment, and then replied, "It's nothing, my uncle is a gambler, he ruined his fortune, so he wanted to come to my family for money, my mother If I don’t give it, I cut off my relationship with him, and I haven’t seen him for many years. After my parents had an accident, he was my closest relative. Neither the lawyer nor the trust company knew who he was, nor did I. He took me away, It didn't take long for me to find out who he really was, and then I came back."
Xin Yan said it very lightly, but she didn't say how she came back, what happened to that uncle later, without the guidance of her elders, what her life was like, and why the people in the company were willing to accept her leadership.
Bei Lanlan remembered what Song Xizi asked her, and she asked her if she knew the shadow of Xin Yan, is this the shadow?
Xin Yan propped her head up, she looked at the table full of food, and slowly let out a breath.
What kind of thing is this, so she doesn't like socializing, because no one knows what's wrong with the people who eat at the same table.
Fifteen minutes later, Uncle Hu finally came back. He looked a little more awake. After he came back, he was not so excited and emotional. He sat down and apologized to Xin Yan and Bei Lanlan first. It was obvious that he wanted to restore his image.
"I'm really your dad's good friend. He's my eldest brother. We both worshipped the handlebars. I know, I've worshipped a lot of them... But among these people, the only one I recognize is your father."
Xin Yan laughed and didn't believe it at all.
Uncle Hu looked helpless, "I was busy in the past, and I'm not like your father. My wife and children are on the kang head. We don't see each other a few times throughout the year. It's normal if you don't remember me."
Xin Yan said in her heart that she remembered that she just didn't believe his words.
With a long sigh, he added, "I want to see you after I know about those things, but at that time, you had already established a firm foothold in the company, and I felt shameless, so I didn't dare to get in front of you all these years, thanks to Lan Lan. By the way, what is the state of the two of you now, are you going to get married?"
Xin Yan was startled, "Why do you ask that?"
Uncle Hu was stunned, "Ah, everyone said that."
Xin Yan: "..."
Bei Lanlan smiled and answered for her: "Thank you for your concern, but it's not up to that."
Xin Yan couldn't help turning her head and looked at her strangely.
What does it mean if you haven't reached that share yet, will it be there in the future?
Uncle Hu didn't think about it so much, and he also laughed: "I understand, I understand, young people are paying attention now, Ayan, when you get married, I will give you the biggest red envelope in the audience, to ensure that no one can compare I have more."
Xin Yan looked at him silently, with the urge to take out the marriage certificate.
But no, firstly, the marriage certificate is at home, and secondly, she has to face.
After the meal was over, it was already ten o'clock in the evening. When she returned to the car, Xin Yan was completely relaxed, rubbing her face that was a little stiff with laughter, she turned her head and asked Bei Lanlan beside her: "What do you think he is? How true is what you said?"
People can say anything at the wine table, but people can't tell what's true and what's false.
Bei Lanlan looked out of the car window. The driver had already picked up Uncle Hu. After two seconds of silence, she looked at Xin Yan: "I don't know."
Xin Yan propped up the seat and sat up straight.
Bei Lanlan continued: "other people's hearts are too complicated, I can only distinguish my own."
Xin Yan: "Then, how true are your words?"
Bei Lanlan smiled: "sometimes it's true, sometimes it's not true."
Blinking her eyes, Xin Yan couldn't help but laugh.
This is true, even if Bei Lanlan is not blackened, Xin Yan will not regard her as a little girl who is ignorant of the world. She has her own personality, and people with personality are generally not particularly honest people.
Flipping her hair on the left, Xin Yan said softly, "I hope you can always tell the truth when facing me."
Bei Lanlan tilted her head, "You will know."
Xin Yan was stunned for a while, she felt that there was something in Bei Lanlan's words, but Bei Lanlan had turned her head to the side and thought for a while, but she gave up without thinking about the result.
Closing her eyes, Xin Yan fell asleep.
...
The next day, An Zhiyuan specifically asked Xin Yan about last night's progress.
In fact, there is no progress at all. There is still cooperation between them, neither increase nor decrease. The only thing that has changed is her ears. Listening to the howling of middle-aged and elderly men, her ears suffered 10,000 injuries.
Hearing this result, have to say that An Zhiyuan was a little disappointed.
And a little bit of pride, look, he didn't go there once, and then there's no more.
Today, my position is also very stable, and Assistant An comforts Xin Yan with satisfaction: "Our cooperation with Chairman Hu is very small, it is not an industry, and Chairman Hu has not raised prices for ten years. I was a little worried yesterday that after you and Chairman Hu had dinner, he would think about the price increase."
Xin Yan stopped writing.
Well, in this way, maybe what Uncle Hu said is still somewhat true.
After the chat was over, Assistant An began to talk about business, "Last month, the International Ecological Economic Association sent you an invitation letter to invite you to attend this year's World Economic and Environmental Protection Conference. Do you remember this?"
Xin Yan raised her head and looked at Assistant An blankly.
Assistant An: "...On the second of last month, after you held the board meeting, you promised to be present in person and asked me to prepare a speech for you?"
As soon as he said this, Xin Yan had an impression. To be honest, An Zhiyuan told her so many things every day, and it was not easy for her to remember those closely related to the company. This kind of thing is useless except for gold plating. It's strange that she can take it to heart.
It was only after she became a real boss that Xin Yan realized that attending international conferences and giving speeches at famous schools are basic operations. As long as you have money, someone will invite you. After all, everyone wants to empty your pockets of money.
An Zhiyuan had persuaded her countless times that it would be beneficial to her to participate in such activities properly. No matter how stubborn people were, they had to compromise after being brainwashed for so long. Xin Yan pushed away the documents on the desktop. , "Where will this year's meeting be held?"
Speaking of this, Assistant Ann was a little happy: "Italy, Florence, where Pinocchio was born."
Going to a meeting abroad is like opening a blind box. No one knows where the organizers want to hold the meeting this year. Assistant An still remembers the night in Brasilia, with thunderstorms and heavy rain. For a moment, he thought he would To explain it there.
...
Xin Yan was still a little confused. She turned the pen and suddenly had a flash of inspiration, "Don't we already have an environmental protection ambassador? How about sending an environmental protection ambassador to participate for me?"
Assistant An looked at her with pity: "The environmental ambassador participated in a closed variety show, and he won't be able to come out until next Wednesday."
Xin Yan: "..."
All right, then only she can go.
The flight time was relatively long this time. An Zhiyuan arranged a private plane in advance, and Xin Yan knew that she still had a private plane. She couldn't help asking An Zhiyuan, "Is there a private cruise under my name?"
An Zhiyuan was stunned for a moment, "There is a yacht."
Xin Yan snorted, "The yacht is too small, it can hold a few hundred people at most, and many things can't get on. I still want a formal cruise that can accommodate thousands of people."
Speaking of this, she looked at An Zhiyuan happily: "The annual meeting will be held on the cruise then."
An Zhiyuan: "..."
Do you know how much it would cost to buy a cruise ship like the one you mentioned?
The loser is still your loser.
...
On the day of departure, Bei Lanlan sent Xin Yan on the plane.
She was a little reluctant, grabbed Xin Yan's hand, and shook it twice: "If only I could go too."
Xin Yan held her back, "When you go on winter vacation, I'll take you wherever you go."
Bei Lanlan chuckled, "That's settled."
Xin Yan also smiled: "It's settled."
An Zhiyuan: "..."
He'd better stop being a lightbulb here.
When he left, no one was watching, and Xin Yan felt more at ease. She asked Bei Lanlan, "What are you going to do during the five days I've been gone?"
Bei Lanlan thought for a while, "work, class, going to the laboratory, other than these, I don't have much time left."
Xin Yan felt a little distressed, "Don't go to the lab, that graduate student didn't teach you anything at all, just asked you to do chores for her."
Bei Lanlan spoke for Liu Danxing: "Actually, it's alright. Sometimes, she will let me use the equipment inside."
Xin Yan shook her head, "This little kindness and Xiaohui will hold you back. She treats you like this, and you still intercede for her."
Bei Lanlan lowered her head and seemed a little lost.
Seeing this, Xin Yan hurriedly coaxed her, "Okay, okay, don't talk about her anymore, when I come back, I'll bring you a gift, what do you want?"
Bei Lanlan raised her head, and a smile appeared on her face again: "Anything is fine, as long as it is from you."
It's so coaxing.
The more she was like this, the more Xin Yan wanted to bring all the good things to her, and she made up her mind to buy a special gift for Bei Lanlan, and then Xin Yan left.
Before taking off, Xin Yan also told her, "I always bring Xiao Zhang when I go in and out. He is better than the bodyguard."
"I'll call you at ten o'clock in the evening, don't worry, it's afternoon over there."
"Don't go to unfamiliar places, the security is really bad now."
"You... you're good, I'll be back soon."
What she said, Bei Lanlan agreed, and she took the trouble, that is, she always emphasized that she should not go to places she shouldn't go, which made Bei Lanlan a little suspicious.
Did she know something?
Xin Yan really didn't know, she just had intuition. Although Bei Lanlan looked very well-behaved, she always felt uneasy, as if something would happen here as soon as she left.
In the end, Bei Lanlan pushed her up, "Five days later, I'll be waiting for you here."
Xin Yan nodded, and finally did not say anything else.
She felt that there should be no problem, so she lay quietly on the bed and began to adjust her jet lag. She fell asleep very quickly, unaware that Bei Lanlan just nodded to her from beginning to end, she really gave her The only promise made was the last sentence, that in five days, she would come to pick up the plane on time.
...
When he walked out of the airport, the driver Xiao Zhang was waiting for her outside and got into the car. Just as Xiao Zhang was about to turn a corner and head towards the tree-lined road, he heard Bei Lanlan in the back row saying, "I won't go home yet. ."
It was eleven o'clock in the morning, and it was almost time for lunch. Xiao Zhang thought that Bei Lanlan was looking for a place to have lunch. So he put on his seat belt and asked as usual, "Where do you want to go?"
Bei Lanlan in the rearview mirror raised her head and smiled at him: "Spruce Sanatorium."
After a second pause, Bei Lanlan tilted her head slightly and looked at him in the mirror, "You've already been there, so I don't need to tell you where it is, right?"
Xiao Zhang: "..."
Mr. Xin...
Why didn't you take me to Florence...
