When Fu Yanzhou returned home, Min Xi was leaning against the head of the bed watching the tablet. She had changed into a smoky pink nightgown tonight. She was studying relevant information about Lemeng Food. She didn't even bother to look up when he entered the room.
Fu Yanzhou took off his watch and ring, unbuttoned his shirt slowly, and looked at her intently: "If I don't come back to coax you to sleep, will you still not sleep?"
After a few dozen seconds, Min Xi responded, "Yeah."
She then looked up at him.
Fu Yanzhou's shirt had only the bottom button left unbuttoned. When she looked over, his fingertips had just unbuttoned it. There were several purple-red scratches of varying depths on his chest, and there was also one between his thin waist and abdomen. This one was particularly eye-catching and darker than the scratches on his chest. It must have been made by her last night.
Fu Yanzhou asked her seriously: "What are you going to do if I or you go on a business trip in the future?"
After thinking it over, Min Xi said, "If you are away on business for more than five days, you must let me use your pillow for an extra night when you come back."
Fu Yanzhou was speechless. He took off his shirt and walked towards the bathroom.
Min Xi followed her gaze and saw that she had scratched his left shoulder armor two or three times. They had done it frequently during this period, and the scratches on his body were always coming back with new ones before the old ones healed.
The bathroom door was closed and the sound of running water could be heard faintly.
Min Xi withdrew her gaze and continued to look at the tablet. She just saw a post by a financial blogger who was analyzing whether the stock of Lemeng Food could continue to be held.
Earlier this month, the executive president of Lemeng Food was invited to attend an investment promotion conference in Ming City. Some netizens predicted that Lemeng Food has plans to build a new factory and may still be in the site selection stage.
Min Xi has never been to Ming City, which seems to be the city next to Jiangcheng.
The two cities are not far apart, only a little over a hundred kilometers.
No matter which city the winning number is in the end, this is a signal that is favorable for rising stock prices.
If Lemeng Food really plans to build a new factory, new products may be launched on the market by then, which will be an opportunity for her. The marketing and promotion of new products will be more challenging and more fulfilling.
She followed a few financial bloggers, turned off her tablet, and Fu Yanzhou came out of the shower.
Min Xi lay down, waiting for him to hold her in his arms.
Fu Yanzhou turned off the lights and lay down, stretching his arms: "Come here."
Min Xi said: "Pull me into your arms, so that you don't seem so reluctant."
Fu Yanzhou: "This is called deceiving oneself."
“…”
Fu Yanzhou held her waist and held her in his arms. Min Xi pushed him away unhappily. He smiled faintly and put his lips on her forehead to coax her: "Stop making trouble. I'm not unwilling."
Even though she knew he was just trying to coax her and calm her down, she still found it very helpful.
Min Xi squinted her eyes in his arms. Even though he had taken a shower, she could still smell the scent of alcohol on him.
"Drank a lot?"
"Not much. The wine was brought by your brother. It has a strong aftertaste."
"Are you trying to say that the wine might be fake?"
She clearly felt his chest shake, and she didn't know if it was a sneer.
"Min Xi, don't be mean."
Fu Yanzhou pressed her upturned head into his neck: "Sleep."
Min Xi was so busy at noon that he didn't take a nap. He soon felt sleepy. His breathing gradually became even and his whole body relaxed in Fu Yanzhou's arms.
Except for Friday, you just need to coax her to sleep on the other six nights. Today is not Friday, so you don't need to let her rest her arm on your head all night. Feeling that she had fallen asleep, Fu Yanzhou tried to pull out his arm and put her on the pillow.
Min Xi was not sleeping very deeply. She vaguely realized that he was going to let her go and grabbed him angrily.
Fu Yanzhou: “…”
"Go to sleep." He held her in his arms again.
Half an hour later, Min Xi fell into a deep sleep.
Fu Yanzhou hesitated whether to put her on the pillow. In the end, he used his arm as a pillow for her all night and held her in his arms all night, and he only let go when it was almost dawn.
Sometimes he himself found it incredible how he could tolerate her willful temper.
The next morning, when Min Xi opened his eyes, Fu Yanzhou was already up.
She turned her head to touch her phone to check the time, but suddenly she covered her neck in pain.
I have a stiff neck and I dare not turn my neck.
I guess it was because after she fell asleep last night, Fu Yanzhou casually stuffed the pillow under her head, without caring at all whether her sleeping position was comfortable or not.
Otherwise, the stiff neck wouldn’t be so serious.
When she washed up and went downstairs, Fu Yanzhou had already gone to the company.
Since they got married, the number of times they have sat together to eat breakfast can be counted on one hand.
Min Xi rubbed his neck for a while, but saw no improvement, and still didn't dare to turn right.
It was unsafe to drive like this, so she asked the driver to take her to the company.
On the way, she sent a message to Fu Yanzhou: [Next time when I fall asleep, can you help me stuff my pillow? I have a stiff neck and now I dare not even turn my head. 】
Fu Yanzhou called back. He had just arrived at the office and Secretary Bai brought him a cup of coffee to wake him up. He slept all night holding Min Xi. She had a stiff neck and he didn't sleep well either.
"It has nothing to do with the pillow," he said.
"What does that have to do with anything?"
"You got a stiff neck because you rested your head on my arm. You should rest your head on your pillow properly from now on."
Min Xi thought it was funny and didn't force him: "If you regret agreeing to rest your arm on my head every night, you can just say it directly. There's no need to beat around the bush. I'm not that unreasonable."
"You're busy." She hung up.
Fu Yanzhou sent her a message to explain: [You blame me for your stiff neck. I held you in my arms all night and only put you on my pillow at dawn. 】
He didn't make any further excuses for the rest.
Min Xi: [Last night wasn’t Friday, why didn’t you put me down after I fell asleep? 】
Fu Yanzhou: [You won’t be happy if I let you down. 】
Min Xi felt as if his heart had been ironed and relaxed. His temper came and went quickly: [I take back what I said before, 'You're busy'. 】
When Min Xi reached the bottom of the building, she just stepped onto the stairs when someone called her from behind: "Min Xi."
It was Yu Chengtan’s voice.
Min Xi put his hand on his neck, turned around slowly, and greeted with a smile: "Mr. Yu, good morning."
Yu Chengtan was still wearing a grey shirt today. He loved grey, and nine out of ten shirts he owned were grey. One could only tell by the details of the button logo that he did not wear the same clothes every day.
As he approached, Yu Chengtan noticed that her neck was stiff and frowned: "What's going on?"
"Stiff neck." Min Xi rubbed the painful area with his fingers.
She asked, "Are you free this morning? I want to report to you on the progress of Shengshi Technology's project."
Yu Chengtan thought for a moment and said, "Come to my office at ten o'clock."
--
After the morning meeting, Min Xi received an email from Secretary Sheng Jianqi, informing her to go to Shengshi Technology for a meeting tomorrow morning to determine the final plan for the project.
I originally planned to go on a business trip to Shanghai at the end of the month, but I moved it up a week.
At nine fifty-five, Min Xi went upstairs to report on his work five minutes early.
"Sister Min." Ju Youyou greeted her with a smile, pointed to Yu Chengtan's office, and whispered, "Zhu Youran from Zhuoran Public Relations is here to see President Yu. The two haven't finished their conversation yet. Please sit down and wait for a few minutes."
"Zhu Youran?"
"Um."
Ju Youyou guessed: "Maybe there's something happy. She's holding wedding cakes in her hands."
Min Xi nodded. Ju Youyou was busy with the work at hand. She had nothing to do and looked out the window in a daze.
Zhu Youran left after not staying for long. Yu Chengtan accompanied her to the elevator. The sound of their conversation brought Min Xi back to her senses. She had met Zhu Youran several times at industry events. She had paid attention to Zhu Youran before because he was a leader in the public relations industry.
Later, when she found out that Zhu Youran was the person Fu Yanzhou liked, her focus gradually shifted and she simply stopped paying attention to him.
Zhu Youran and Yu Chengtan were walking and talking, and did not notice Min Xi in the secretary's office.
Min Xi didn't look at Zhu Youran intentionally, but lowered his head to look at the information in his hand.
Soon, Yu Chengtan came back from sending someone there and called her to the office.
"Have you been waiting for a long time?" Yu Chengtan asked apologetically.
Min Xi sat down opposite him: "Just wait a few minutes."
Yu Chengtan explained: "Zhu Youran came here to deliver the wedding invitation."
Min Xi had no choice but to continue chatting with Zhu Youran as if she were a stranger: "She has a good relationship with you?"
Yu Chengtan: "No relationship. It's a long story."
Jiachen PR and Zhuoran PR are the two leading companies in the public relations industry. Their founders, Mr. Yu and Mr. Zhu, are university alumni. In the early days of their business, they helped each other through difficult times.
After achieving success, Mr. Zhu mentioned in front of the media more than once that his benefactor and benefactor was Mr. Yu of Jiachen Public Relations.
The fact that competitors actually deal with each other in this way has aroused the interest of the media.
Commercial flattery must be give and take. When Mr. Yu was asked by reporters about his personal relationship with Mr. Zhu, he said: When I was in the most difficult time, it was Mr. Zhu who mortgaged his house and lent me a loan of one million yuan. Without that one million yuan, there would be no Jiachen today.
This kind of thing cannot be verified, and only Mr. Zhu and Mr. Yu know the real situation.
As a result, the enviable friendship between the two was once praised by the media as a legend, and also made Jiachen Public Relations and Zhuoran Public Relations both famous and wealthy.
Mr. Yu and Mr. Zhu are both public relations professionals and are well aware of how to promote their brands. Even though their friendship has long since changed and they no longer contact each other privately, they have maintained this false harmony until today.
Yu Chengtan smiled helplessly and said, "I feel tired for them." However, because of this false harmony, the two companies have never competed maliciously.
He held out his hand: "Give me the information."
Min Xi gave him the sorted information and said that they would go to Shanghai this afternoon.
Yu Chengtan looked up: "How long will it take?"
Min Xi was unsure, but based on the email from Secretary Sheng Jianqi, he guessed, "It will take at least ten days."
Yu Chengtan calculated the time she would be in Shanghai. Zhu Youran was getting married on the 28th, so it would be difficult for her to make it back in time.
He pointed to a few invitations on the corner of the table and said, "President Zhu asked Zhu Youran to send a few more over and asked some of the company's executives to go as well. I wanted to bring you over."
Min Xi thought, how could she go.
She pretended to be regretful and said, "I can't help it. I happened to be on a business trip."
After reporting her work, Min Xi asked her assistant to book a plane ticket while she went home to pack her luggage.
Just when Fu Yanzhou and I started to get along and adapt to each other, we had to separate again.
After passing the security check, Min Xi sent a message to Fu Yanzhou: [I received a temporary business trip notice and will be staying in Shanghai for about ten days. 】
After a long time, Fu Yanzhou replied to her: [Where are you now? 】
Min Xi: [On the plane, taking off soon. 】
Fu Yanzhou originally planned to let her use the private jet and asked Secretary Bai to apply for the route, but she had already boarded the plane, so he gave up.
Min Xi suddenly thought: [I can't go to choose a ring this Saturday afternoon, don't forget to cancel the appointment. 】
Fu Yanzhou: [No need to cancel, I’ll say hello to them and you can go to the Shanghai flagship store to choose. 】
Min Xi: [Cancel it. I’m on a business trip and don’t have time. 】
Her fingers hovered over the phone keyboard for a few seconds. The flight attendant began to remind passengers to turn off their phones. She typed quickly with both hands, expressing her true thoughts at that moment.
[When I come back from my business trip, I want to go choose with you. 】
