Since November 12th, Min Xi has been looking forward to Fu Yanzhou giving her 520 roses and a proposal ceremony.
She said that she was not in a hurry and would wait until the day when the relationship came to fruition, but she could not control the expectation in her heart every day, expecting Fu Yanzhou to fall in love with her and propose to her.
Looking forward to Christmas from November to December.
On the 24th, I held three consecutive video conferences with different clients. The first thing I did after each meeting was to pick up my phone to check if I had missed any calls or messages.
What Min Ting has never lacked since childhood is surprises, and she has made these surprises a part of her daily life. She never imagined that one day she would feel lost because of waiting for a surprise that might not come and she didn't know when it would come.
Putting down his phone, Min Xi opened the project plan of Lemeng Food and continued to polish it to divert his attention.
When I got home in the evening, Fu Yanzhou had not come back yet.
There was a rose cake on the dining table, and a dozen white roses and white lisianthus in the vase. These flowers were there every day, and she had long been accustomed to seeing them.
There was a pile of gifts under the Christmas tree, including a dress for next spring and summer, and five diamond bracelets from her favorite jewelry brand.
Happy is also happy.
Because Min Ting had given her so many surprises before the marriage, she was not surprised at all when she received the gifts prepared by Fu Yanzhou.
On the afternoon of December 31st, Fu Yanzhou called her and said he was downstairs of her company.
He said, "I'll take you to Jiangcheng to celebrate the New Year."
Jiangcheng had a grand New Year's Eve fireworks show this year, grander than any she had ever seen before.
The sponsors of the fireworks show are Yan Heyu and their Lingyu Group.
She thought she was still staying at the River View Hotel. When she arrived in the city, the car turned onto another main road leading to the villa area near the industrial park.
Only when she arrived at the villa did she realize that this was a New Year's gift from Fu Yanzhou to her, and that her next-door neighbor was Yan Heyu.
The living room has a spectacular row of wine cabinets, just like the one in my home in Shanghai.
Fu Yanzhou: "From now on, if someone gives you red wine as a gift, you don't have to bring it with you."
There were twelve white roses in the vase on the island in the restaurant. Fu Yanzhou specifically asked her to look at the flowers: "This is a new variety cultivated this year. The yield is not high, so we only got twelve."
To put it nicely, he divided the twelve flowers into two parts, but in fact, he stole the twelve flowers from Zhou Yu.
Min Xi advised herself not to be obsessed with the 520 roses anymore.
It was only on Valentine's Day that she received nine white roses of a new variety.
There are many people who like white roses like her, and it is a global festival. This variety is extremely popular because of its noble and full appearance, long flowering period and low yield. Fu Yanzhou only bought nine flowers when he asked someone to buy them.
The flowers themselves are not as expensive as those shipped by air.
On June 26th, their wedding anniversary, Min Xi received twenty-six flowers.
These twenty-six flowers were packed into a bouquet and sent to her company, not used to decorate the living room.
It was the first time for colleagues to see such a rare variety of white roses. At noon, when Min Xi was out of the office for lunch, they gathered around to watch and admire it.
After celebrating the wedding anniversary, there were no more holidays and Min Xi no longer received new white roses. However, other varieties of white roses in the dining room and living room of her home were replaced with fresh ones every few days.
As November approaches, the weather turns colder.
There was a cold front yesterday, and Ju Youyou took out her cotton coat. She wanted to wear a down jacket when she went out, but she didn’t feel like it.
In the company basement, Ju Youyou saw Min Xi's car. Min Xi was backing into a parking space. There were cars on both sides of the parking space, and the difficulty of reversing was something she did not dare to challenge.
She lowered the window and pointed to the right: "Sister Min, there is a parking space here, please park over here."
Min Xi: "No, stop."
During this year, her reversing skills improved by leaps and bounds, and as a result, Min Ting felt very disappointed because she no longer needed his help with reversing when she got home.
Ju Youyou witnessed a miracle. Min Xi backed the car in within half a minute. In the past, it would take at least half an hour to get in.
She couldn't believe it: "Sister Min, has your car been modified and equipped with an automatic parking system?"
Min Xi didn't explain much, and got out of the car to easily back Ju Youyou's car into the parking space.
Ju Youyou hugged her arm and said exaggeratedly: "Tell me, are you my sister Min? Have you been possessed by a spirit?"
Min Xi poked her head and said, "You took advantage of Mr. Yu's absence yesterday to slack off and read novels again, right?"
Ju Youyou laughed. Speaking of Yu Chengtan, she suddenly remembered, "The date for celebrating Mr. Yu's birthday this year has been decided. It's Friday night, the 12th."
November 12th was an ordinary day, but it had special meaning to Min Xi. On November 12 last year, she was on vacation in Melbourne, and that night Fu Yanzhou gave in to her in everything.
Promise to give her as many roses as she wants.
Promise her to have a proposal ceremony, with true feelings.
After entering the elevator, Ju Youyou pressed the floor button and said with emotion, "It feels like celebrating Mr. Yu's birthday last year was just last month. A year has passed so quickly."
It has also been one year since Xiao Xiaoshi went on the market.
It has been more than a year since Sheng Jianqi broke up.
Sister Min has been married for almost a year and a half, and all she remembers are other people's affairs.
"Sister Min, when are you going to have your wedding? I'm waiting to be a bridesmaid."
Min Xi smiled: "It should be soon."
After Fu Yanzhou proposed to her, she began to prepare for the wedding.
The reason she kept putting off the wedding wasn't because she didn't have time. Being busy was just an excuse. She didn't want the once-in-a-lifetime wedding to be just a formality. She wanted to wait until he held the wedding because he loved her, not because he had to hold the wedding after getting the marriage certificate.
Arriving at the office, Min Xi took a cup of coffee, sat down, opened the official website of Lemeng Food, and browsed through their latest developments. The bidding notice had not been released yet.
Lemeng’s public relations agency will expire at the end of the year, and the agency will be re-tendered at that time. Normally, the notice is released one month in advance, which means in the next few days.
Yu Chengtan has more channels, and he said he would tell her as soon as he had any news.
She spent more than a year on the Lemeng food project, the project plan was overturned three times, and the amount of snacks she ate in this year was equal to that of the previous 26 years.
Compared with other competitors, she should be the most prepared.
Yu Chengtan told her that Zhuoran Public Relations would also strive for Lemeng Food, a big customer. Although they failed in the last bid, they would definitely go all out this time.
Lemeng Food is one of the few companies that puts its public relations agency business up for public bidding. Because the bidding process is relatively fair, various public relations companies have put in all their efforts in project proposals.
If any public relations company can win the agency business of Lemeng Food, its revenue for the year will be secure.
--
At lunch time, Ju Youyou sent her a message, saying that she would go to the cafeteria to get food first.
Yu Chengtan has not returned from his business trip yet, so she has been having dinner with Min Xi these days.
When she arrived at the cafeteria, Ju Youyou had already prepared her meal and waved at her from her seat in the corner: "Sister Min."
Min Xi washed his hands and went over. "Next time you eat, be a little more reserved and don't be the first one to rush into the cafeteria."
Ju Youyou was drinking soup and almost spit it out. The word "crossover" was a very vivid description of her.
She quickly covered her mouth and nose with her hands, fearing that she would laugh out loud.
Min Xi eats little meat, so before she starts eating, she picks out the meat from the plate and gives it to Ju Youyou. Ju Youyou can't live without meat for a meal, but she never gains weight no matter how much she eats.
"Sister Min, have you been paying attention to Wu Qianxin recently?"
"without."
Min Xi didn't pay attention because Wu Qianxin used to be Zhu Youran's partner, and she didn't pay attention to anything related to Zhu Youran.
She gave almost all the ribs to Ju Youyou, leaving only one piece for herself. "Didn't he go abroad after resigning? And now he's back?"
Ju Youyou shook his head: "The address is still shown as Australia. He updates his blog every now and then, often expressing his feelings in the middle of the night. When a fan asked him what was going on, he gave an ambiguous reply."
This is not the point. "I saw a whistleblower blogger last night. He is very active in the public relations circle. He said that Wu Qianxin was forced to resign because he knew the inside story of Zhuoran and did not want to be involved in the scandal. The senior management of Zhuoran could not tolerate him. The blogger did not say what the inside story was. Netizens have all kinds of guesses. They said that Zhu Youran could not tolerate him and fired him."
Min Xi didn't want to talk about Zhu Youran, and didn't want to mention anything related to Zhu Youran.
"This kind of revelations are just to attract traffic." She then asked, "When will Mr. Yu come back from vacation?"
"I didn't ask."
I wish the boss could take a few more days off.
Ju Youyou said with great interest, "From what Mr. Yu said, he went abroad on vacation to avoid blind dates. Our Mr. Yu urged us to get married every day."
Min Xi: "I guess it's no use urging him, Mr. Yu is a person who doesn't want to get married."
When she first joined Yu Chengtan's team for an internship, she heard from other colleagues in the team that Yu Chengtan only dated but did not get married, and that he had an open relationship with his girlfriend.
Later, she returned to China with Yu Chengtan and was not very clear about his private life. She wondered whether he had a new girlfriend or was too busy with the company to have another relationship.
Before he finished his meal, Min Xi received a message on his phone.
Fu Yanzhou: [I will arrive in the evening. Will you wait for me for dinner? 】
Min Xi picked up the phone with one hand and quickly typed: [Wait. 】
Fu Yanzhou was on a business trip in Shanghai. This time the trip was long and he stayed there for five days. She asked him on the phone why he took so long to be gone, and he said: I had a lot of things to do.
This answer is equivalent to no reply.
Ju Youyou saw her sending messages with a smile on her face and teased her, "Oh, a short separation is better than a new marriage."
"Do you know who I'm messaging? It's like a reunion."
"Except for your husband, no one else has this treatment."
"What treatment?" Min Xi looked up in confusion.
Ju Youyou said with a smile: "The corners of your mouth are almost curled up to the sky."
Min Xi: “…”
When her secretive thoughts were seen through, she denied it with a smile, blurring the point and saying that she only laughed when they talked about something funny.
After dinner, Min Xi returned to the office and checked the news as usual before lunch break. He saw the news that his father attended an international conference yesterday and there was a formal dinner after the meeting.
Judging from the photos taken at the event, some of them brought their wives to the dinner, but of course there were also some who did not, and my father was one of them.
There was also an important event in May this year, and my mother did not accompany my father that time.
Min Xi sent a message to his mother: [Mom~ Have you seen the news about dad? Here are some fresh photos. The color of his suit makes him look younger. 】
Jiang Rui suspected that her daughter was using the news to ask her why she didn't accompany her father to the event. She dispelled her daughter's concerns and replied by voice: "I chose the suit. Is my taste okay?"
Min Xi: [I was wondering~Mom, why are you so busy this year? 】
Because I don’t want to see Min Jiangyuan, and don’t want to waste time on meaningless time as a couple. Now that her two children have grown up and have their own lives and space, they no longer need her as much as they did when they were little, so she devotes all her time to work.
Jiang Rui smiled: "That's because mom wants to get promoted again."
In order to convince her daughter that she was not unwilling to accompany Min Jiangyuan, she expressed regret in her words: "I wanted to go with your father, but I have an important industry conference at the end of November and I can't leave."
"Your father said that he would never let me down at work and asked me to focus on my conference. If it weren't for his status, he would have wanted to accompany me to some social events."
Min Xi was so full of dog food when she heard the last part. She also replied to her mother in voice: "Mom, I am full. I need to digest it and get ready for bed."
After finishing the chat with her mother, Min Xi sent a message to Fu Yanzhou’s bodyguard: [What time is your flight? 】
bodyguard:"……"
He glanced at the boss next to him and quickly replied to Min Xi: [Land around 6:20. 】
It looks like Min Xi is going to surprise the boss again.
Min Xi calculated the time and decided that he could make it to the airport in time if he went to the airport after get off work.
Just like when she picked him up in Jiangcheng last year, she drove for Uncle Chen.
She waited in the car for almost half an hour before Fu Yanzhou came out of the airport. The weather is getting colder, and he is wearing a black windbreaker today. He looks cool and tall, and stands out in the crowd.
The fender gave her a sense of security, and after Fu Yanzhou got in the car, she started the engine.
The car drove at a steady speed all the way, which did not affect Fu Yanzhou from reading documents in the back seat at all. Once they arrived in the city, they had to drive and stop frequently, and Min Xi's driving skills were exposed.
Fu Yanzhou had just turned a page of the document when he suddenly staggered forward.
He couldn't help but laugh and guessed who was driving in front.
But he didn't point it out and pretended not to know it was her.
The acting was over. The car drove into the villa and stopped in the yard. Fu Yanzhou took his windbreaker and got out of the car. He passed the driver's seat without stopping and strode towards the villa.
Min Xi rolled down the car window, put his hands outside the car, and called him, "Hey."
Fu Yanzhou never thought that one day he would be so bored that he would actually act with her. He turned around, his face showing surprise and reproach: "Why didn't you tell me you were going to the airport?"
"I came to see you, just seeing you is enough." Min Xi was no longer stingy in expressing her longing for him. She pushed the door and got out of the car. Fu Yanzhou walked towards her, and she put her hands around his neck. "My driving skills are not bad, right?"
After not seeing each other for five days, Fu Yanzhou hugged her and said what she said to make her happy: "I thought it was opened by Uncle Chen."
Min Xi's lips curled up when he was praised.
He led her into the house, and the bodyguard carried the suitcase to the living room.
There is a snack plate on the coffee table in the living room, piled with various snacks.
There has never been a shortage of snacks at home this year. Min Xi always puts the snacks he buys in his study. Yesterday, he watched a movie in the living room, so he brought the snack plate downstairs, but forgot to bring it back to the study after he finished eating.
Fu Yanzhou picked up a bag and took a look. It was Lemeng’s snacks.
“How do you eat kid’s snacks?”
Min Xi bought it to evoke the feeling of eating snacks as a child and to find creative inspiration.
She laughed and said, "I'm not that old now."
Fu Yanzhou smiled and said, "It's not big."
He put down his windbreaker and said, "Come here, let me see your hair."
"My hair is messy?" Min Xi was most concerned about his image. He ran his hands down from the top of his head, but did not touch the standing hair.
"It's not messy." Fu Yanzhou sat on the sofa and handed her his hand: "Come and sit here."
Min Xi sat down as he said, leaning her back against his chest, and asked again, "What's wrong with my hair?"
"Didn't you say that washing your hair every day is annoying and you envy those who wash their hair every two or three days?" Fu Yanzhou used his fingers to part her hair and looked at it carefully again and again. There was no inflammation and her hair was fresh with a faint fragrance.
Min Xi: “…”
She had completely forgotten the lie she told a year ago, but he still remembered it.
Fu Yanzhou's business trip to Shanghai was for the shampoo issue. The research and development team he invested in produced results last month.
The feedback after the trial was good, and mass production and launch will probably take place next year.
He first took a bottle back for Min Xi.
Fu Yanzhou opened the suitcase and took out the trial bottle of shampoo.
"It's for oil control, try it." He handed her the bottle.
Min Xi had never seen this kind of bottle before, and it was also the first time he heard of the brand and company name.
"The packaging is so simple?" She said, "This packaging is not original and consumers have no urge to buy it."
Fu Yanzhou said: "This is a trial pack. Someone got it from the laboratory. It has not been officially launched yet."
"No wonder." Min Xi held the bottle of oil-control shampoo with mixed feelings. He brought it to her from the laboratory specially, probably because of a friend's relationship, but her hair quality was not suitable for this shampoo. Of course, it was okay to use it.
What if he finishes this bottle and needs to buy it back in bulk for her later?
He took every little thing of hers to heart, and she didn't want to lie to him again.
Thinking about how to confess so as not to disappoint him.
After going to bed, Min Xi lay obediently in his arms.
Fu Yanzhou lowered his eyes. She was very quiet tonight. "What's wrong?"
Min Xi looked up. While taking a bath, she had thought of several candid opening lines, and now she was struggling with how to say it.
Fu Yanzhou asked with concern: "Did you encounter any unpleasant things at work?"
"No." Min Xi paused, "If I lied to you because I wanted you to pay more attention to me, but you took it seriously and I wasted your kindness, would you be angry?"
Fu Yanzhou was very quick-witted and immediately realized what she was referring to: "You don't have oily hair?"
Min Xi nodded and explained seriously: "At that time, I wanted to develop feelings with you, so I lied to you and asked you to wash my hair. I thought you had forgotten about it, but who would have thought that you would still bring me shampoo a year later. This time it's my fault."
Fu Yanzhou originally wanted to wait until the shampoo was on the market and then give her the shampoo and shares as a second wedding anniversary gift. Turns out she didn’t have oily hair, it was just a harmless lie.
If it were in the past, he would have been angry, but now, he couldn't bear to let her feel guilty and blame herself.
He held her in his arms and comforted her: "You are right, no need to apologize."
