After delivering the invitation, Chu Yi came out of Jiachen and called Fu Yanzhou again, and finally got through. He wanted to talk to Fu Yanzhou about a project, but he had called twice before and his phone was always turned off.
In one month, he encountered the phone being shut down three times.
Chu Yi was puzzled: "No, what's wrong with you now? You turn off your phone all the time."
Fu Yanzhou had just come out of the airport ten minutes ago and was on his way back to the city.
Two days ago, he went to Shanghai to see Min Xi, and also visited Beiqingyu's R&D center.
The refreshing oil-control series of products was originally scheduled to be launched on June 26, his and Min Xi's wedding anniversary. Now that they are divorced and Min Xi does not have oily hair, they chose another date and postponed the launch by two days.
Ever since he knew that Min Xi didn't need oil-control shampoo, he hadn't paid attention to the developments of this series of products. Yesterday, he went to Beiqingyu R&D Center to learn about the hair care products, which have not yet entered the trial stage.
After discussing the progress of hair care products, he exchanged views with the R&D director on the development of skin care products, such as shower gel and lotion. They extracted rose essence from white roses to produce a white rose shower gel and lotion.
He has asked Zhou Yu to contact the rose breeding base and prepare to sign a targeted purchase contract with them, with an additional exclusive agreement. In the future, the breeding base will only provide this variety of white roses to Bei Qingyu in the world.
Zhou Yu has not finalized the time with the rose breeding base. Once it is finalized, he will fly to the UK to negotiate the contract in person.
"Just got off the plane." He simply responded to Chu Yi and asked, "What's the matter?"
Chu Yi was still wondering why he kept turning off his phone recently: "Didn't you fly every few days in the past two years? I never saw you turn off your phone."
That’s because Min Xi would call him at any time before, but now it’s impossible for Min Xi to find him. It’s more convenient to take a civil aviation flight for short-distance flights, which can take off at any time.
"What's the matter?" Fu Yanzhou asked again.
Chu Yi: "Let's talk about the project. Are you free today? If you are, I'll go to your office and wait for you now."
"I'm free." Fu Yanzhou hung up the phone.
Chu Yi did not say that he had just met Min Xi. He told the driver to go to Lingyu Building, and the car slowly drove away from the Jiachen office building.
At this time, on the 21st floor of Jiachen Public Relations.
After seeing Chu Yi off, Min Xi received a call from Yan Yinan.
Yan Yinan just learned from the work group that Min Xi has returned from his business trip.
She had an outing today and was on her way back to the company. It would take at least an hour to get there, so she made an appointment with Min Xi in the evening: "Are you free tonight? Let's have dinner together."
Before she left for Shanghai on a business trip, Yan Yinan invited her to dinner, and Min Xi couldn't refuse the kindness, so she said, "I'm always free."
"Then I'll reserve a seat and invite Lu Zhen along."
Lu Zhen's mother has decided to come to Jiachen and has signed the employment contract. She has just retired and will rest at home for two months before coming to work in August.
She later learned that Jiachen Public Relations did not give the highest treatment to Lu Zhen's mother, and that they probably chose Jiachen because of Min Xi's face.
Min Xi finished the work at hand and distributed the two boxes of wedding cakes and two boxes of chocolates brought by Chu Yi to her colleagues. She only kept a few wedding candies for herself.
Sitting back at her desk, she opened the invitation again and looked at the wedding date. Chu Yi said that August 8 was the day he and his girlfriend met a few years ago. At that time, he still liked Zhu Youran, and his girlfriend had not broken up with her ex. No one thought that the two of them would be together in the future.
The day after the wedding was Fu Yanzhou’s birthday.
Min Xi stopped thinking in time, put away the invitation and put it in the drawer.
Yan Yinan came in quickly, knocking on the door while carrying a computer bag, distracting her attention.
"Sit down." Min Xi stood up with a smile and went to pour her some water.
"Just give me a glass of cold water." Yan Yinnan sat down opposite the desk. She came over to ask Min Xi if there was any help she could provide with the Shengshi Automobile case.
"I can give you some suggestions on which media to invite to the new car launch."
She didn't need to check the media library for all the media resources, as they were all in her mind, and she could directly filter out the suitable media for Min Xi.
Min Xi placed the cup of water in front of her, "That helped me a lot."
There were candies on the table, and she gave one to Yan Yinan, "My friend's wedding candy, bring some good luck and happiness."
Of all Min Xi's friends, Yan Yinan only knew one: "Is he the one who often comes to Jiachen to look for you?"
Min Xi nodded, "Yes. We fell in love last year and got married this year."
Yan Yinan peeled the candy and ate it, saying with a smile: "This candy has the taste of love." She sighed: "I probably won't meet someone I like and who likes me in this life."
"Don't be so depressed." Min Xi joked to himself: "Look, I haven't seen through love yet."
"Then I wish both of us good luck." Yan Yinan took out his laptop and put it on the table, plugging in the power cord. "Let's talk while we work. I'll make a list for you first."
The two of them made an appointment to have dinner, but ended up working overtime until 6:30.
Yan Yinan sent the list to Min Xi and asked her how to get to the restaurant.
"A driver took me there. My brother was worried that I wasn't in a good condition to drive, so he hired a driver for me."
"Then see you at the restaurant later. I'll pick up Lu Zhen on the way. She has an event in the afternoon and doesn't drive herself." Yan Yinan put the computer and power cord into the computer bag and left quickly.
While waiting for the elevator, the door of the special elevator next door slowly opened.
Yan Yinan was slightly stunned. Yu Chengtan came to see Min Xi specially? Does he know that Min Xi hasn’t returned yet?
In just two seconds, your thoughts diverge infinitely.
Yu Chengtan pressed the door button and motioned for her to come in.
He asked, "Anyone else working overtime?"
"Min Xi hasn't left yet. He's packing his things."
Yu Chengtan nodded, said nothing more, released the door opening button, and the elevator door slowly closed.
It wasn't until Yan Yinan got off the elevator and got into her car that she realized that Yu Chengtan would probably stop at the 21st floor after get off work every day to see if he would meet Min Xi waiting for the elevator.
The chance is so slim that you may not encounter it once in several years.
--
Min Xi was the last one to arrive at the restaurant, four or five minutes later than them.
Lu Zhen ordered a bottle of red wine, and she poured the wine herself, half a glass for each person. Who would have thought two years ago that the three of them could put aside their grudges and drink and chat happily together.
"The first toast is to make us all rich." Lu Zhen raised his glass.
Yan Yinan said with a smile: "The second cup is for us to make a fortune."
Apart from work, the three of them are not actually familiar with each other in private, and can only start to warm up with work.
Lu Zhen almost forgot one thing. She put down her wine glass and said to Min Xi, "I have a small project. I wonder if you are interested in it. It's a small company and the agency fee is not high."
Min Xi: "As our CEO Yu said, even a mosquito leg is meat."
"I feel relieved with your words. Let me briefly introduce this company."
Lu Zhen began to talk nonstop: "It's a daily chemical products company, not very large. The boss is only 29 years old this year, his surname is Chang, he graduated from the top 2, and started a business with a few classmates. No matter how difficult it was, he never gave up. Later, he was lucky enough to get investment. You know, companies like theirs have too many places to spend money, and they want to spend every penny in half. They have already taken out the highest budget for promotion, but compared with your other clients of Jiachen, this amount of money is really not worth mentioning. Classmate Chang is the cousin of a friend of mine, and my friend and you are schoolmates."
As he spoke, Lu Zhen burst out laughing, "I don't think this is a simple introduction, it's so long-winded."
Yan Yinan listened with great interest, holding up his chin and said, "Go on, I don't mind your nagging."
Min Xi didn't know this alumnus of his, but he had an impression of him: "This alumnus of mine helped us during the crisis of Shengshi Technology's press conference, right?"
Lu Zhen nodded. "Yes, that alumnus. He is a senior employee in the financial sector, with an annual salary and bonuses between eight and nine figures. He retweeted my Weibo to prove that you graduated from a top university in the world."
She took a sip of red wine and continued, "Student Xiao Chang found me through his cousin and asked if you were interested in taking on this project."
He added: "Student Xiao Chang has read all your communication cases and is your loyal fan."
Yan Yinan interrupted and jokingly said, "You must be a fan of Yan."
Lu Zhen laughed, "It's hard to say. Min Xi's photos at the Shengshi press conference attracted a lot of fans. Anyway, Xiao Chang really admires Min Xi and said that if there is a chance, he would like to work with her. We are of the same age, so our ideas should be very compatible."
Min Xi asked: "What is the product? Cosmetics or toiletries?"
Lu Zhen took the phone, opened the product introduction that Xiao Chang sent her, and handed the phone to Min Xi: "Look for yourself. The main series of shampoos are oil control, and the maintenance and repair series are in the research and development stage."
When Min Xi saw the name of the product, she felt familiar. She remembered, "I've used this product before. It tastes good."
"How could you have used it!" Lu Zhen suspected that Min Xi remembered it wrongly: "It hasn't been officially launched yet. It will be launched at the end of this month."
And it’s not a product from a big brand.
Min Xi was very sure: "I have used Bei Qingyu. I used it last year. I took it out of the laboratory." It was a small gift given to her by Fu Yanzhou. Unfortunately, she only used it a few times after opening the bottle and then hurried to Paris.
Lu Zhen stared at Min Xi's long hair for a long time and said, "Do you have oily hair? It doesn't look like it."
"I'm not." Min Xi didn't mention Fu Yanzhou, "That shampoo was given to me by someone else. They don't know what my hair quality is. I used it a few times and I think it's pretty good."
Lu Zhen has oily hair and is annoyed by washing his hair every day. It is one thing to want to wash his hair every day, but it is another thing to have to wash it because of oily hair. Having oily hair is too tiring.
She has tried this shampoo for almost two months. "It works really well. If I feel lazy and don't want to wash my hair one day, I can still go out normally the next day."
Because I have tried it myself, I dare to recommend it to Min Xi for project promotion.
Min Xi returned the phone to Lu Zhen, "Okay, I'll take it."
"Then let me thank you on behalf of Xiao Chang." Lu Zhen clinked glasses with Min Xi.
She locked her phone and put it aside. "If we want to formally cooperate, it will probably be November. They didn't expect you, Jiachen, to take such a small order. They found a local company in Shanghai to do the promotion. The contract expires at the end of October. By then, the product will have been on the market for more than four months. You can just take a look at the feedback from consumers so that the plan can be more targeted."
Min Xi: "I happen to have time in November."
The press conference of Shengshi Automobile ended in late October, and after a few days of rest, we will start working on the next project.
--
After Min Xi decided to take over the Beiqingyu project, she kept a close eye on Beiqingyu's listing status. Lu Zhen shared Xiao Chang's WeChat business card with her.
After adding the contact information, Xiao Chang said that he would come to visit Jiachen in person some other day.
There are only two things in Min Xi's life now, work and making desserts.
It was hot and humid outside in June and July. She was too lazy to go out on weekends, so she stayed at home thinking about making various types of cakes. By the evening of August 7, she had already made six cakes for Min Ting.
Min Ting praised her and said that she could open a dessert shop and take orders.
Baking cakes is addictive, especially when others praise it.
Opening a store was out of the question; she had neither the time nor the energy.
Min Xi plans to take free orders from the group of sisters who grew up together and design a unique cake for each of them. There are a total of six people in the small group, and the group name is 'Quiet, Well-behaved, and Elegant'.
They have their own nicknames in this small group, all of which start with "I", so you can tell who is who just by looking at the nickname.
Her nickname in the group is: I am considerate and have charisma
She first posted a few photos of the cake she had made for Min Ting in the group, [My babies, my cake is finally worthy of being presented to the public (showing off). I am researching new styles and will make one for each of you. Tell me in the group one week in advance what flavor you want and when you want it. 】
The group became lively and they left messages one after another.
My dad is Jiang Dami: [I am not picky, I want all kinds of flavors (色) (色) (色)]
My third brother hasn't passed the fourth level of piano yet: [I have various tastes × 2, I want to eat one every week (color) (color)]
I've always wanted to win over my uncle's friend: [I want a strawberry flavored one first, can it be double-layered? (smirk)]
My brother is a scumbag Yan Heyu: [August 20th + rose flavor, this is the standard ordering mode (witty) (witty)]
…
Min Xi only took the time to go to the study to get a piece of note paper. When he returned to the kitchen, he picked up the phone on the center island and saw fifty or sixty messages flooding the screen.
She went upstairs to read the news, wrote down their requests on a sticky note and stuck it on the refrigerator door.
After recording everything, Min Xi continued to study cake styles. She planned to make a cake for her mother as well. My father has finally become less busy recently, but my mother is a little busy and is coordinating her work to try to squeeze out time to come back.
It had been more than nine months before the family finally got together to have a meal.
The phone vibrated again. It was a message from Chu Yi, sending her the hotel for tomorrow's wedding banquet. The invitation given to her did not include the specific address of the wedding, only blessings to her.
Chu Yi: [I'm so busy today, I have so much to do, I won't talk to you for now. 】
Min Xi: [You are busy. 】
Putting down her phone, she went to the dressing room to pick out the skirt she would wear tomorrow and chose a simple white one.
The next day, Saturday, she slept until she woke up naturally.
The wedding was at noon. I changed into the dress I had chosen last night, put on some simple makeup, and went to the hotel at 11 o'clock.
Sitting in the back seat of the car, Min Xi was stunned looking at the crowd outside the car.
It has been three months since our divorce, and we haven’t seen each other since we separated outside the Civil Affairs Bureau that day. She was also mentally prepared to see him at the wedding today.
When the day comes when she can face him calmly, maybe she will be able to completely let go of the lost marriage.
The driver drove the car to the main entrance of the hotel. Min Xi came to her senses and got out of the car but hadn't walked far when someone called her from behind.
"Min Xi."
Yan Heyu had just gotten out of the car and was catching up with her in big strides.
"Are you also coming to Chu Yi's wedding?"
"Yeah. He often goes to the club with Fu Yanzhou, and he has a good relationship with me."
The two walked side by side towards the elevator.
Min Xi had been worried that it would be awkward sitting alone at the wedding. She knew a few of Chu Yi’s high school classmates, but it was impossible for her to sit at the same table with them now.
The bride and groom were standing at the door of the banquet hall, all smiles on their faces.
Today was the day Chu Yi smiled the happiest since she met him.
What moved Chu Yi the most was that Min Xi came to attend his wedding. He couldn't go up to hug her, so he grabbed the bride's hand and said, "Hug her for me."
The bride knew about Min Xi and Fu Yanzhou. She hugged Min Xi tightly and said, "I give you all my good luck."
She had also suffered emotional trauma, but fortunately she met Chu Yi and she came back to life.
The guests came one after another, and Chu Yi and the bride were busy greeting them.
"We'll talk when we have time." Min Xi entered the banquet hall first, chatting with Yan Heyu all the way. He didn't look around and didn't know which table Chu Yi's high school classmates were sitting at.
Fu Yanzhou was already in the banquet hall, the earliest one he had ever arrived at any wedding banquet. Chu Yi didn't tell him whether Min Xi would come, and he wasn't sure if he could see her.
Group after group of people came to talk to him, and he responded absentmindedly, looking towards the entrance from time to time.
"Mr. Yan is here too?" Someone next to him knew Yan Heyu.
Fu Yanzhou suddenly turned his head and looked over. The first person he saw was the person next to Yan Heyu. Min Xi had just retracted her gaze, and his eyes seemed to meet hers, but it seemed to be a few tenths of a second slower.
He picked up his water cup, apologized to the others, and moved to Min Xi's table.
Min Xi adjusted the chair and just sat down when a charming voice sounded beside her: "Xi Xi." She subconsciously turned her head and met Fu Yanzhou's gloomy eyes.
After taking a few seconds to adjust his breathing, Min Xi smiled faintly and greeted generously: "Long time no see."
Fu Yanzhou rolled his throat slightly, pulled out a chair and sat down next to her.
