Chapter 10



It was not yet five o'clock when Sheng Jianqi came back from the stadium.

Min Xi had not expected it to come so early, but when she thought about the fact that Fu Yanzhou had come over specially today to support her, everything made sense.

Sheng Jianqi first went to the private VIP lounge, took a shower, changed out of his golf shirt, put on business clothes, and then went to the meeting room of the club after getting dressed.

The last time I parted with Min Xi, I thought it would be the last time we saw each other.

When we met again today, there was an awkwardness in the air.

Fortunately, Min Xi has been influenced by his father since he was a child and can handle any situation with ease.

She smiled faintly: "I wonder if we have disturbed Mr. Sheng's interest in playing basketball by choosing to discuss the plan here."

“Work is important.”

Sheng Jianqi unbuttoned his suit and sat down at the conference table.

The secretary stood next to the boss, not daring to breathe. Previously, the boss looked down on Min Xi's plan and spoke sharply. Min Xi was not convinced and directly retorted to him, which made him lose face in front of his subordinates for a while.

The boss was humiliated and very dissatisfied with the plan, so he decided to replace Min Xi.

Originally, she thought that the replacement was a foregone conclusion, but man proposes, God disposes. Not only did the person not get replaced, but she also hit a solid wall. Who would have thought that Min Xi was Fu Yanzhou's wife.

Not only did he fail to change the person, he also had to change his previous attitude. The boss must be extremely unhappy now.

The plan was on the conference table. The secretary opened it and laid it flat in front of Sheng Jianqi.

Sheng Jianqi's eyes fell on the plan, and he picked up the ice water at hand and just as he brought it to his mouth, he paused.

The secretary didn't understand what was going on and paused for a moment. She glanced at the boss and the calm demeanor he had maintained with great difficulty disappeared completely, and his jaw became cold and hard.

Sheng Jianqi put down the water cup, and with a "splash", he turned the pages with emotion.

I scanned the pages quickly and compared them in my mind with the plan I had seen last time.

He flipped through three pages like this, lost his patience, put his fingertips on the footer, raised his head, and silently looked at Min Xi who was standing at the head of the conference table.

Min Xi was projecting the screen, and she heard clearly the sound of Sheng Jianqi angrily flipping through the project book just now.

The secretary secretly timed the boss, and the boss stared at Min Xi for a full two minutes and nineteen seconds, but -

Min Xi was calm and composed. He didn't respond at all. He didn't even lift his eyelids. He held the mouse and clicked on the PPT on the notebook from time to time.

She felt that Min Xi must have noticed the boss's scrutiny, but just didn't intend to pay any attention to him.

"Director Min." Sheng Jianqi broke the silence.

Min Xi then raised his head with a harmless look: "Boss Sheng, what's the matter?"

Sheng Jianqi picked up the plan and raised it: "Did you make a mistake?"

Min Xi curled the corners of his mouth, but there was no smile.

"That's right," she confirmed.

Sheng Jianqi ran out of patience and threw the plan on the table: "It's a waste of each other's time to discuss the plan that was not passed before."

Min Xi was calm and composed: "Last time we read to page 9, today we will continue from page 10, it's not a waste of time."

Sheng Jianqi laughed sarcastically.

The plan was not changed at all and was used directly to fool people.

Relying on Fu Yanzhou's visit today, she began to feel fearless. He was too lazy to talk nonsense, picked up his phone, stood up, turned to the secretary and said, "I'll make a call, you stay and connect with Director Min."

Without even looking at Min Xi, he walked away.

The secretary didn't look up to avoid embarrassment.

She thought the boss would tolerate Min Xi for Fu Yanzhou's sake, but she was used to being strong and couldn't control her temper and left.

When Min Xi decided to use the first version of the plan, she had foreseen the scene just now, so she completely accepted being turned away by Sheng Jianqi on the spot.

After adjusting the projection screen, she asked Secretary Sheng Jianqi for his opinion: "Do you mind if Director Shi can participate in the discussion via video? He needs to check the technical aspects."

The secretary smiled and said, "No problem."

When Min Xi went to Shengshi Technology R&D Center, she left Director Shi's contact information. Yesterday, she made an appointment with Director Shi this evening.

From five o'clock to half past six, Min Xi only drank half a glass of water without stopping. He analyzed the key parts of the plan in detail without any perfunctory work.

The secretary sighed at Min Xi's mentality, as he was able to stay focused even after being given the cold shoulder by his boss.

[Not over yet?] 】Sheng Jianqi sent a message to ask her.

The secretary objectively said on behalf of Min Xi: [It will be done soon. Director Min has explained it in great detail, and there is also an audio to be shown. Director Shi is in a video conference with us. 】

When Sheng Jianqi pushed the door open again, Min Xi had just turned on the audio.

Shengshi Technology's third-generation companion robot has made a qualitative leap in human-computer interaction. Taking this as a starting point, she produced an audio clip of only a dozen seconds.

Shengshi Technology's companion robot is called Xiao Xiaoshi. In the audio, a child playfully asked Xiao Xiaoshi: "I fell asleep, Xiao Xiaoshi, how about you?"

Immediately afterwards, a cute snoring sound of Xiao Xiaoshi appeared in the audio, and then Xiao Xiaoshi whispered, "I fell asleep too." and continued to repeat the snoring sound.

Afterwards, the children's clear and satisfied laughter and the little ones' interesting snoring could be heard one after another.

After the audio was played, Min Xi turned it off.

Sheng Jianqi stood at the end of the conference table with his hands in his pockets. His eyes quickly passed over Min Xi's face and looked at Director Shi in the conference video: "What do you think?"

He added: "I'm talking about the audio content just now."

Director Shi only cares about the promotion effect of the product. He doesn't care about the conflict between the boss and Min Xi. "The content is simple and direct, and the accompanying pictures are warm. It highlights the breakthrough of our product in human-computer interaction and can be made into an omni-channel promotion advertisement."

Sheng Jianqi did not comment: "We will discuss it at the meeting next week."

The secretary looked at Sheng Jianqi in surprise, thinking that he would reject it in person.

This audio is only a small part of the plan. I wonder if he will be slapped in the face when he has the patience to read the entire plan.

Sheng Jianqi put a cigarette in his mouth, glanced at Min Xi, and said, "You have a good attitude."

It wasn't meant to be sarcastic, but it wasn't meant to be a compliment either.

Min Xi smiled perfunctorily, packed his notebook and documents into a bag, stuffed his water cup in as well, picked up the bag and went back, not even glancing at him as he passed by.

This was not the first time that she had been harassed by clients since she entered the industry. At that time, she vowed to become the most powerful second party in the public relations industry. In that time, the first party would not give her a hard time, but would let her choose the first party.

Stepping out of the club's gate, Min Xi paused on her toes. The SUV she had driven in the afternoon was now parked in front of the club's gate. Fu Yanzhou rested his elbow on the car window, looking down at his phone.

The car was his and the driver had a spare key, so he drove it directly from the parking lot.

"No social engagements tonight? No overtime?" She walked around to the passenger door and opened it.

Fu Yanzhou looked up: "Nothing else has been arranged." Chu Yi booked a hotel and asked him to take Min Xi with him. I wasn’t sure when Min Xi would finish his work, so I put it off.

Putting away his phone, he asked, "Has the plan been approved?"

"I guess so." Min Xi fastened his seat belt.

The new product launch two months later is the most important focus. He waited for her to get off work today, and waited for several hours. The grievance he felt in the conference room just now was not worth mentioning.

Fu Yanzhou started the car and drove away from the club.

Min Xi is going home for dinner tomorrow night, and she asks Fu Yanzhou if he is free to come over.

Fu Yanzhou asked casually: "Are your parents home?"

"No one is here. Only my brother is home."

Her father was very busy. She called him ten times, but eight times he didn't answer. When her father came back to ask her what was wrong, she had already forgotten why he called.

My mother is on business trips all year round and spends no more time in Beijing than my father.

"Send the ashtray to my brother tomorrow."

Fu Yanzhou: "I have something to do tomorrow."

If his parents-in-law are at home, he will go over for a meal and bring an ashtray. There is no need for him to show up.

Min Xi leaned his head against the back of the chair and asked him sideways: "Will you pick me up tomorrow night?"

She looked at his clear jawline a few more times, waiting for his answer.

Fu Yanzhou didn't expect her to ask this. They never asked what others were doing before and didn't have the habit of picking them up.

"If you go pick it up, I'll drink some red wine."

"You can drink even if I don't pick you up. Doesn't Min Ting have a driver?"

Min Xi was speechless, turned his head away and ignored him.

It was already dark, and Fu Yanzhou was concentrating on the road and had no time to look at her.

He thought about this week's schedule. There will be a cross-border video conference tomorrow night, starting at 8:30.

In the carriage with only two people at night, his voice was a little hoarse with fatigue, and gentler than usual: "I won't be done until ten o'clock tomorrow night. Will you wait for me to pick you up?"

Min Xi said "hmm", and if you listened carefully you could hear the satisfaction in her voice.

She put down the chair to rest. The moon was bright and the clouds were clear, and she could see many stars through the skylight.

After relaxing for a moment, she used her mobile phone to send an email to Yu Chengtan, reporting in detail the progress of today's plan. I sent another letter to Sheng Jianqi. No matter how much he disliked the first version of the plan, the electronic version still had to be sent.

When I finished my work and looked up again, I saw fewer stars through the skylight than before, with only a few particularly bright ones.

Entering the city, there are only bright lights.

She didn't plan to work overtime tonight, so after a simple dinner, she took a shower and went to bed.

The last thing before going to bed is naturally to apply moisturizer. She gently pats her calves until the moisturizer is completely absorbed.

Fu Yanzhou came out of the cloakroom, bent down and put something on the bedside table.

Min Xi was sitting on the bed next to him, taking care of her skin. She glanced over and saw the ring box that he had taken out from the jewelry table. He should wear it tomorrow.

She raised her eyes and glanced at his lips. Because of the wedding ring, she had bitten the tip of his tongue.

After applying lotion on her knees twice, Min Xi screwed on the cap of the lotion. He stood by the bed and replied to messages. She reached out and grabbed his bathrobe, stuffed the lotion into his bathrobe pocket and said, "Put it on the dressing table."

Fu Yanzhou looked at her silently. The tone in which she ordered him around had become very natural.

He pulled the lotion out of his pocket and brought it to the dressing table.

When he came back, she had already laid down, sleeping on his side, using his pillow.

He sat down on the edge of the bed and motioned to her, "Sleep on your side."

Min Xi looked at him and said nothing.

Fu Yanzhou pointed at his left arm and said, "I used it as a pillow for you last night, and it affected my play today."

After sleeping one night in his arms, I was thinking about the next night.

Min Xi said: "I will rest my head on your right arm tonight."

“…”

After being pressed down by her all night, his body couldn't rest.

Fu Yanzhou pointed at the bed next to her and said, "Go over there and sleep."

Min Xi was silent for two seconds, his self-esteem hurt. He stood up and moved to his side, pulling his pillow towards the edge of the bed, a little further away from him.

When she lay down, she turned over and faced outwards, leaving her back to Fu Yanzhou.

Seeing her sleeping next to the bed, Fu Yanzhou had no choice but to reach out his long arms, pull her into his arms, lower his head and kiss her, and appease her: "Rest your head on my arm and sleep first, and I will put you down after you fall asleep, is that okay?"

Min Xi didn't say anything.

He had no choice but to add: "Every Friday, you can sleep on my arm."
