N-M Chapter 379 I'm tired, Qiao Zheng.
Chapter 379 I'm tired, Qiao Zheng.
Before ending the call, Qiao Zheng wanted to ask Shen Mo if Huo Xizhou had recovered his memory for a moment.
In the end, she thought about it and didn't ask.
At the same time, Shen Mo did not mention this matter somehow.
In a blink of an eye, when Qiao Zheng and Huo Xizhou contacted again, they revealed something.
"Huo Xizhou, I'm going on a business trip recently, maybe about a month..."
She didn't change her face, anyway, she was calling and telling this lie.
Strictly speaking, it's not all a lie, she does have a business trip, not for a month, but for three days.
"On business trip?"
Huo Xizhou had a gentle voice, and was about to say something.
It was Qiaozheng who remembered what Shen Mo said. It was not appropriate for him to speak, so he explained to him directly: "Now everyone in the company knows my identity, and the affairs I am in charge of are several times that of before! This business trip is to Let's talk about cooperation, the client is from abroad..."
"I originally thought that you would be back in another 20 days... Now that I am on a business trip, you should not come back too early! If you come back too early, we won't be able to meet each other. Why don't you stay in the capital for a while longer?" time?"
Qiao Zheng's tone was natural and distressed. Even if she was just making a phone call, her emotions could be heard.
After she finished speaking, Huo Xizhou on the opposite side suddenly fell silent.
"Huo Xizhou, are you angry? You know, I'm going to take over Qiao's in the future. I need to discuss this kind of important cooperation in person... It's normal to talk about cooperation for a longer time. It's a really unfortunate time—"
To avoid Huo Xizhou's suspicion, Qiao Zheng quickly comforted him: "It's okay, at least one month, at most one and a half months, and I'll be back... As for you, just take advantage of this time and pick me up at the airport after returning to Tongcheng."
"At that time, I hope to get off the plane, and the first person I see will be you, but before that...you just do your own business and don't need to come back in a hurry, you know?"
After listening to her, Huo Xizhou was silent again, under Qiao Zheng's anxiety.
Suddenly, he snorted lightly: "...that's really unfortunate."
"No way, I also received a notification suddenly, I can't hide it! By the way, if I go on a business trip abroad, I may be very busy and can't call you, but I will reply to your message like before..."
Qiao Zheng finished speaking in one breath, leaving almost no room for it.
This time, Huo Xizhou was silent for a longer time, so long that... Qiao Zheng felt that the self who made up the rhetoric seemed like a clown in front of him.
Her lies, perfunctory, and acting have long been seen by him.
This feeling of waiting for the verdict is really uncomfortable.
Just when Qiao Zheng suffered so much and almost couldn't bear it.
Finally, next to her ear, she heard the man's cold voice.
He asked her, "Miss Qiao, must it be like this?"
At the first moment, Qiao Zheng's body and mind froze, and inexplicably, a thin layer of sweat appeared in this cold winter.
She licked her lips: "You said... what?"
"Do you have to go on this business trip?"
It was Huo Xizhou, who asked indifferently, melted Qiao Zheng's nervous suffocation, and breathed a sigh of relief: "Well, I can't refuse, I have to go!"
As soon as she finished answering, she heard the man say coldly: "Okay, I understand, then let's do it like this."
At this point, Qiao Zheng couldn't help thinking about what kind of excuse he should use to end the call early.
"Qiao Zheng."
Qiao Zheng felt guilty when Huo Xizhou called her name suddenly.
Most of the time, he called her "Miss Qiao"... As a result, when she called her name, she felt like something big had happened.
"I am a bit tired."
But at the next moment, the man's tone was slightly cold, and he confided such a sentence.
Across the phone, the man's emotions were restrained.
Qiao Zheng was startled, puzzled: "What..."
"I'm tired, Qiao Zheng."
As soon as she opened her mouth, she was interrupted by the man lightly. This time, before she could find an excuse, he chose to say goodbye: "Best trip, goodbye."
goodbye--
After leaving these two words, he hung up the phone first.
Qiaozheng lowered her eyes, looked at the ended call, was in a daze for a moment, and whispered two words: "... goodbye."
……
The three days of the business trip were almost fleeting.
This business trip is in Linshi.
In addition to Qiao Zheng, there were several high-level officials who went there, as well as Huo Beiheng.
The process of discussing cooperation was very smooth.
These days, Qiaozheng stayed up late and worked overtime. After browsing the plan, foreign customers expressed their satisfaction.
After talking about the cooperation, the other party said that tomorrow night, there will be a Christmas party, and a group of people are invited to attend.
The cooperation had just been reached, and the other party had good intentions, but it was not good to lose face, so they agreed.
"Foreigners attach great importance to Christmas, the party should be quite interesting!"
A group of people walked out of the club, and someone was discussing the Christmas party.
Qiao Zheng was not interested in this, but thought of her daughter. Children and young people are generally keen on this special festival.
On a winter night, Linshi is just like Tongcheng. It hasn't started snowing yet, but it's just raining lightly.
The booked hotel is a little far from the clubhouse.
Several people in the same group arranged for a driver to pick them up.
Qiao Zheng didn't make any arrangements. When she came to the clubhouse, it wasn't raining yet, so she thought about taking a taxi back.
It's raining now, the temperature has dropped a lot, and it's not easy to get a taxi.
Just when Qiao Zheng was planning to find someone who was traveling with her to give her a lift, it was the same hotel anyway.
"Director Qiao, I'll give you a ride, get in the car."
At this time, Huo Beiheng passed by her, holding a black umbrella in his hand.
Seeing her plight, he turned around and said this sentence.
Huo Beiheng drank and was a little drunk. When he was with a client, he blocked Qiao Zheng several times when he wanted to get drunk.
After all, Qiao Zheng's mental state is not good these days, and her face is a little pale. She looks like she is sick.
"Then trouble Mr. Huo."
Huo Beiheng opened his mouth, and the people with him were still there. If Qiao Zheng refused him and went to take their car again, it would inevitably make people think too much.
Since the last time, she made it clear to Huo Beiheng that the relationship between the two is purely between a boss and a subordinate.
During this period of time, he didn't have much contact with her, and this business trip together is also necessary...
Qiao Zheng didn't show any pretense anymore, so she got into the car and sat in the back with him.
Outside the car window, it was raining continuously. Not long after getting into the car, Qiao Zheng leaned against the car window, listening to the faint sound of rain, and slowly closed her eyes.
"Mr. Huo, here we are..."
When they arrived at the hotel, as soon as the driver made a sound, Huo Beiheng winked and silenced him.
The driver realized later that Director Qiao had fallen asleep, and... soundly asleep.
He didn't dare to speak, but through the rearview mirror, he found that Mr. Huo's gaze was always on Director Qiao, focused and serious.
In the car, the atmosphere was silent, Huo Beiheng was looking at Qiao Zheng.
Outside the car, the rain is murmuring at night.
The man hidden in the dark stood far away on the steps, his figure was thin, slender, and weak after being exposed to the night rain, which made his stunning face pale as snow.
Holding a bouquet of roses in his hand, his abyss-like eyes fell on a car parked below.
That car has been parked for a long time, but the men and women in the car have not appeared for a long time...
