Chapter 3: Meeting again after five years



"Hello, I'm from the New Media Department of Jiangbei Evening News..." Lin Sui paused and didn't dare to tell his real name. Fortunately, in this line of work, everyone has a pen name.

"I'm Maizi, and I'd like to interview Mr. Qin. Is that possible?"

"Okay, I'll report it and I'll call you back before I get off work."

The secretary's voice was gentle and soft.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Sui started to make an interview outline without stopping. She drank a cup of double espresso from the company's coffee machine and was in high spirits. They had not met for five years, and she did not want to be looked down upon by Qin Chen.

Although the interview has not been confirmed, Lin Sui has an inexplicable certainty that Qin Chen will definitely agree.

Just before getting off work, Lin Sui's cell phone rang on time.

"Hello, Miss Maizi, our CEO Qin has agreed to your interview. Please send the interview outline to my email. I look forward to meeting you tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock."

"OK."

Lin Sui hadn't felt that nervous for a long time. After hanging up the phone, she found that her right hand was shaking. She clenched her fist and sat in her seat for a long time to relax. She decided to leave work early today.

After taking the bus back home, there was still no one at home. Lin Sui was in a good mood and made himself a meat dish and a vegetable dish to reward himself.

Who knew that just as she finished cooking, Zhou Dang came back in a swagger. Seeing that she had cooked, he washed his hands and sat down at the dining table, waiting for Lin Sui to get him chopsticks.

Lin Sui frowned, looking reluctant, and did it according to her own portion.

"Didn't you eat outside?"

Zhou Dang shrugged his shoulders and spoke in a frivolous voice.

"I've been saying this before. I have dinner parties every day, but not today. Just tell me, maybe we have a telepathic connection!"

Lin Sui was too lazy to pay attention to him. She served him a bowl of rice, sat opposite him, and started eating in silence.

Zhou Dang picked up a piece of food with chopsticks, put it in his mouth, and nodded.

"Well, your cooking skills are good. It would be even better if I could eat the food my wife cooks every day."

Lin Sui rolled his eyes.

"Stop daydreaming."

Zhou Dang was not angry and continued to eat his food in big mouthfuls. Seeing that he was almost finishing all the food, Lin Sui quickly picked up the plate and put the food into his own bowl.

Zhou Dang couldn't help laughing when he saw Lin Sui's little movements.

"Promising."

Suddenly remembering something, Zhou Dang chuckled and asked Lin Sui.

"By the way, I'm going on a business trip tomorrow, probably for two or three days."

"I hope it's three days."

Zhou Dang raised his eyebrows, "As you wish."

After dinner, Lin Sui washed the dishes while Zhou Dang took a shower.

Before Zhou Dang finished taking a shower, Lin Sui rushed to the second bedroom and locked the door.

She really needed a good night's sleep and didn't want to fulfill her wifely duties.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Dang found the key from somewhere and opened the door of the second bedroom in a few seconds. He leaned against the door, twirling the key ring with his index finger, looking very proud.

"Lin Sui, you are really not making any progress. This villa is mine. Where do you want to escape to?"

Lin Sui lay on the bed with an expressionless face, like a dead body.

"If you want it, hurry up."

When Zhou Dang saw Lin Sui's dead look, he was furious. He took a few steps over and pulled Lin Sui off the bed.

"I won't. I'm going to torture you slowly."

Zhou Dang said with a smile, his eyes full of amusement.

"Zhou Dang, you bastard!"

Lin Sui's eyes were filled with anger that seemed to be spitting fire.

Zhou Dang didn't care.

"Did you know that on your first day? I thought you knew me so well after being together for five years."

Lin Sui's tears flowed silently. She didn't want to say a word. She told herself not to cry, don't cry, she would be able to see Qin Chen tomorrow, just wait until tomorrow.

I can't go see him with swollen eyes, I can't.

She stood up, wiped her tears hastily, went to the bathroom and took a long bath.

I set the alarm before going to bed and took a sleeping pill.

A dreamless night.

When Lin Sui got up the next day, Zhou Dang had disappeared. Thinking that he would not see that face for the next three days, Lin Sui felt a little better.

For the first time ever, Lin Sui put on full makeup and found her most expensive dress in the closet. It was a gift from her best friend Cheng Yi for her birthday two years ago. She said she couldn't stand seeing Lin Sui buying three T-shirts worth 99 yuan every day.

Lin Sui put it on carefully and looked at herself in the dressing mirror again and again. The khaki silk skirt showed off her figure very well. She took out the pair of beige high heels from the shoe cabinet. She had bought them with great effort to match the skirt. Fortunately, they finally came in handy today.

Afraid that his luggage would be ruined by the crowded bus, Lin Sui hardened his heart again and took a taxi.

She calculated silently in her mind that the month would soon be over, so it shouldn't matter if she spent a little more. At worst, she wouldn't buy anything next month.

At 9:45, Lin Sui arrived at the downstairs of the office building where Hemu Company was located on time. When she looked up, Lin Sui had a strange feeling that the person she had been thinking about for the past five years was working in this building.

"Hemu, Hemu..." Lin Sui silently recited the name of Qin Chen's company in his mind, and guessed that it should be derived from his name.

After dawdling downstairs for a while, Lin Sui reached the top floor on time with five minutes left.

The secretary was already standing at the door waiting for Lin Sui's arrival. When she saw Lin Sui, she smiled gently and appropriately.

"Hello, Miss Maizi. President Qin is already waiting for you in the office. Please come this way."

"good."

Following the secretary through a corridor, the black marble was solemn and dignified, and the air-conditioning was turned on high. Lin Sui could hear her heart beating like a drum, boom, boom, boom. She touched her chest and told herself to be calm, to be calm.

"Miss Maizi, we're here." The secretary stepped forward and knocked on the door three times.

"Enter."

When the familiar voice sounded, Lin Sui's eyes immediately turned red, and her heart felt sour as if she had eaten a whole lemon. She pinched her thigh hard to hold back her tears.

"Please come in." The secretary stepped back.

Lin Sui took a deep breath and pushed open the heavy wooden door.

The man was sitting behind a large desk, working on his work with his head down.

His short, thick black hair was neat and tidy. Under his thick eyebrows, his slightly upturned eyes were slightly closed, his thin lips were slightly pursed, his profile was as sharp as a knife, and his whole body exuded the dignity of a superior.

Hearing the voice, he casually looked up. The moment he saw Lin Sui, his pupils shrank sharply. After a few seconds, he narrowed his eyes and looked up and down at Lin Sui like a hawk, as if he wanted to stare a hole in Lin Sui's body.

Lin Sui gave a smile that she thought looked nice and waved at Qin Chen.

"Hi, long time no see."
