MTL - Assistant Lin Has Something To Say-Chapter 28
Lin Hui was late on Monday morning.
Being late for his position is not a big deal. But when Annie saw Lin Hui in a hurry in the elevator, she was still surprised.
"Lin Assistant, are you late too?"
Lin Hui couldn't say enough: "Don't mention it, I was up late, but I took a taxi, a novice driver, and went the wrong way."
"Why don't you drive?"
Lin Hui became a little unnatural: "I sent it for maintenance, but I didn't get it back."
After returning to the office, Zhao Xiaoxiao came to deliver him the documents, Lin Hui signed and asked casually, "Is Mr. He in the office?"
"Yes. Mr. He came very early."
Lin recalled the few WeChat messages lying in his mobile phone, and hesitantly said: "I - I will discuss something with Mr. He later, please don't let anyone disturb us."
"Okay, Assistant Lin, when are you going?"
"9:30, no, 9:45, forget it, 10. I'll be there at 10."
Zhao Xiaoxiao didn't understand the difference between 9:30 and 10:00, but she wrote down: "Okay, I'll help you confirm with Mr. He later."
Lin Hui hurriedly stopped her: "No- no need to be so troublesome."
Zhao Xiaoxiao felt that Lin Hui was a little strange today, but nodded to show that he understood.
After chatting with Luo Ting yesterday, Lin Hui has already thought about it. He will try to play down this matter and restore the relationship between the two to the original state. This is the best choice for myself and He Jianshan. Luo Ting scolded him for being a coward. He admitted that he was cowardly. He had neither the courage nor the confidence to take this accident as an opportunity to look for possibilities in He Jianshan. He is afraid of variables, afraid of disappointment, afraid that his outpouring of love will turn into a joke, and only an embarrassing ending will be left in the end. It is better that everything is the same as before, although it cannot go further, but it is stable and long-lasting.
Lin Hui stood at the door, let out a deep breath, and knocked on the door of the office.
He Jianshan just put down the phone when he entered. He looked up and saw a familiar figure, seemed startled, just wanted to say something, but closed his mouth again after seeing the other party's dodging eyes. He coughed lightly and waited for Lin Hui to speak.
Lin Hui glanced around a few times, and finally landed on the corner of the desk. There was a book with a red cover there. Lin Hui looked at the book and said, "Thank you for saving me that day."
He Jianshan was silent for a while: "I..."
"You listen to me first—" Lin Hui began to breathe quickly.
He Jianshan stopped and looked at Lin Hui seriously.
"That's right, that drug, it actually has aphrodisiac/emotional components. I was affected at the time, not very conscious, and may have made very irrational behaviors, but that doesn't mean mine Real thoughts." Lin Hui mustered up his courage and raised his head to look at He Jianshan, "I and you, just pretend that nothing happened."
The air seemed to be drained in an instant, and it was so quiet that it was suffocating.
I don't know if it was Lin Hui's illusion, he felt that He Jianshan seemed to be enduring something. Emotions were surging in his eyes, as if he would be involved in the next second.
"If this is what you want," After a long time, He Jianshan spoke slowly and said word by word, "Okay, I promise you."
Obviously he got the answer he wanted, but Lin Hui did not feel relieved, but a layer of loss appeared in his heart. He squeezed out an ugly smile: "Oh, good. Then, my car keys seem to be left at your house."
"Car keys? You even folded the quilt neatly the day you left. Didn't you see the car keys?"
Hearing He Jianshan's words, Lin Hui's face immediately turned red. He always felt that He Jianshan was angry, but he didn't know why he was angry, so he could only stammered back: "I, I didn't see it."
He Jianshan stared at him for a while, and finally sighed helplessly, and said in a low voice, "Come back with me after get off work to find out."
"Huh?"
"I don't know what your car keys look like."
“…oh.”
He Jianshan remembered something, and said again: "Don't follow Ruitao, the cooperation has been cancelled."
Lin Hui was shocked, and what he was going to say was instantly forgotten. He entered the work mode and quickly asked: "Why? Wanted, if canceled, then we—"
Lin Hui suddenly realized something and stopped talking. Feng Ying drugged him with the intent to confuse/rape him, but he survived because of He Jianshan's appearance. After two days, the cooperation between Wan Zhu and Ruitao was cancelled. Seeing He Jianshan's tone, it was obviously proposed by Wan Zhu, so is it because of him?
Lin Hui suddenly felt a little overwhelmed, he looked at He Jianshan anxiously, but the other person lowered his head, flipped open the book in his hand, and said lightly, "It's not because of you."
Lin Hui's eyes darkened: "...I see."
In this way, Lin Hui absentmindedly went to work all day. After finally getting off work, he and He Jianshan came to the car one after the other. Lin Hui walked to the driver's seat habitually, but He Jianshan also stood by the driver's seat and took out the car keys. The two looked at each other, and He Jianshan said helplessly: "Sit in the co-pilot, I'll drive."
Usually when the two of them are together, Lin Hui drives a lot, and he starts to play music as soon as he gets in the car. Today, He Jianshan is the driver, and the car is a little too quiet. Lin Hui lowered his head and pretended to be looking at his phone, but the morning conversation between the two was replayed on a loop. He never imagined that one day his conversation with He Jianshan would be so blunt. This was not going back to the past, it was taking a hundred and eighty steps back, which was worse than the first time the two met. He felt a little aggrieved for no reason, so he didn't want to speak, and He Jianshan didn't say anything. The atmosphere in the car became inexplicably weird, as if there was an invisible glass between the two. Fortunately, the sudden ringing of the phone briefly broke the situation. Dull atmosphere.
He Jianshan glanced at the central control screen and answered the phone: "Hello—"
"Lao He, it's me." A hearty voice sounded in the car, it was Xue Pei, "Do you have time next week, come back to me for dinner with Lin."
Hearing Xue Pei mentioning his name, Lin Hui looked over in surprise, He Jianshan also raised his eyes to look at him, the eyes met, and then they separated.
"What's wrong?"
"Didn't I tell you before, I set up a restaurant and I'm going to open it officially next month. Come and try the dishes for me."
"Understood, it should be no problem, you can confirm the time with me in advance. Then Lin goes back there—" He Jianshan paused, "Tell him again yourself."
For some reason, He Jianshan didn't tell Xue Pei that Lin Hui was in the car, and Lin Hui didn't want to make a sudden noise, so he pretended not to know anything.
Xue Pei was puzzled: "Do you need so much trouble? You and Lin Hui were together anyway."
"..." Lin Hui silently turned his head and looked out the window.
In this way, Xue Pei cast another layer of ice on the originally weird atmosphere, and the two remained silent all the way to He Jianshan's house.
For the third time I came to He Jianshan's house, Lin Hui's mood was too complicated to describe. The memory of that night was so deep that as soon as he entered the bedroom, he could still smell lust. No matter how hard he deliberately pretended to be calm, his body had already betrayed him - from the moment he entered the door, his face and ears started to turn red and hot, and he couldn't restrain himself. He Jianshan leaned against the door with his arms wrapped around his arms, watching him turn around, and searched under the bed, but he still couldn't find the car key. Lin Hui frowned and was about to ask He Jianshan if he could go to the bathroom to take a look, but found that the other person was no longer at the door. He walked out of the room and saw He Jianshan standing by the dining table, putting the food at hand on a plate and calling out, "Come and eat."
“…”
Lin Hui was a little tangled. He felt that it was really embarrassing to eat with He Jianshan in this situation, but he said that if nothing happened, it was him back to the past, the old him, what was there? Reason for refusing this dinner? And to be honest, he was indeed a little hungry. He Jianshan ordered the dishes on the phone directly from the car. Hearing the name, they all ordered the food. When the two arrived at the community, the takeaway went upstairs directly. Not to mention, it smelled really good. Lin Hui went out of his way, and kept on doing it. With the mentality of "I'm not embarrassed and embarrassed, it's someone else", and sat down steadily. He Jianshan saw it, the corners of his mouth curved slightly, and he pushed a few dishes in front of Lin Hui.
The two finished their dinner silently. But compared to being in the car, Lin Hui felt much more at ease. Because of work, the two often eat together. Lin Hui knew that He Jianshan didn't like to talk a lot during dinner, including the last time he was a guest here, he was the only one who kept talking excitedly. Shan just looked at him and smiled, and added a few words at the right time.
He is a good listener.
Lin recalled that He Jianshan preferred to listen to it rather than to talk. But when he sits in this position, he has to "talk" over and over again: talk to employees, talk to partners, talk to government leaders, talk to everyone—
Suddenly, eloquent.
If He Jianshan is indeed different from others over the years, then the biggest reason is that after he appeared, he "blocked" a lot of voices for him, allowing him to live in this noisy world Be able to take off the mask and take more time to rest.
After dinner, Lin Hui bid farewell to He Jianshan. He had already decided to give up, and if he really couldn't, he would go back and find the spare key. He Jianshan took him to the entrance, and Lin Hui bent down and started to change his shoes. He Jianshan saw him revealing a piece of white wrist, and dexterously shuttled in the rope with his clearly articulated fingers. He stared at it for a while, then suddenly said, "Your car keys are in the drawer on the left side of my office."
Lin Hui's hand paused, "Yeah." He didn't ask why He Jianshan lied to him, he just changed his shoes in silence, then turned around and looked at He Jianshan.
"I'm going to Ninghai tomorrow, then I'll go to Li Fenghai's side, and I'll be back at the weekend." He Jianshan took out the car key from his pocket and put it in Lin Hui's palm, "I'll drive my car back later. , or I will send you."
Lin Hui swallowed the refusal that had already reached his lips. He held the car keys and stood at the entrance without moving. He Jianshan didn't urge, just looked at him quietly, not knowing what he was thinking.
"I'm sorry." After a while, Lin Hui finally spoke. He lowered his head, like a schoolboy who made mistakes, looking a little depressed.
"Why are you saying sorry to me?"
"You persuaded me not to have too much contact with him, and asked the driver to take me there, but I didn't listen. I—" Lin Hui took a deep breath, "I'm so stupid ."
He Jianshan's finger moved slightly: "No one can predict evil in advance, you are not wrong, don't apologize."
Lin Hui raised his head: "I also affected the company's cooperation."
In the past two days, Lin Hui's thoughts were all on He Jianshan, diluting the influence of Feng Ying's drug use on him. I calmed down today, and when I recalled the whole thing, I felt nausea and fear in my heart: If He Jianshan didn't show up that day, what kind of situation would he be in? He knew in his heart that He Jianshan must have canceled this cooperation for his sake. Even if the cooperation had not really started, it meant that the plans originally based on the cooperation had to be rearranged and adjusted.
When you move your whole body, the tediousness of it cannot be measured by a few numbers.
Lin Hui felt guilty for this. He knew it wasn't his fault, but he couldn't help feeling that he was holding him back. As an assistant for so many years, he was used to thinking about things from Wan Zhu's standpoint. Even if He Jianshan maintained cooperation with the other party, he would not feel anything wrong. He is not a kind person who can forgive criminal acts because he has not suffered any loss, but private matters are private matters, work is work, and he is very clear about it, and now...
"A risky partner is like a ticking time bomb. It's a good thing to defuse it." He Jianshan's tone was very light, just like he said "it's not because of you" in the office, calmly reassuring Lin back to all the entanglements.
Lin Hui's eyes filled with enthusiasm, he looked at He Jianshan stubbornly: "Others can say this, but you can't, it's unfair to Wanzhu."
The identities of the two people seemed to be reversed: He Jianshan put his personal emotions into his work, and his assistant reminded him that he was responsible for the company. He Jianshan was inexplicably wanting to laugh, but he actually wanted to ask: "If that's the case, why don't you let me be responsible for you?" But Lin Hui's eyes were serious, which reminded him of the first time he saw him. time look.
Neither of them spoke for a while. The light of the porch enveloped them gently, like a cocoon, covering all the chaotic emotions.
He Jianshan looked at Lin Hui's soft hair and suddenly asked, "Do you remember what I said to you while playing golf?"
They played golf a lot and talked a lot. Lin Hui showed a questioning expression, not knowing which sentence he was referring to.
"We must constantly arm ourselves in order to have enough confidence to reject all malice."
Lin Hui was startled.
"Perhaps you don't think so, but Assistant Lin—" He Jianshan took a step forward as if he had endured for a long time. Lin Hui's body suddenly tensed, and for a moment, he thought that He Jianshan would hug him. But He Jianshan just pulled out a narrow red ribbon from the cabinet behind him, and then tied the ribbon around his wrist under Lin Hui's surprised eyes.
Lin Hui was stunned. He stared blankly at the extra red bow on his wrist, only to feel that it was faintly hot and fluttered.
He Jianshan laughed:
"In eight years, Wanzhu has become your armor."
The author has something to say:
I don't know if you have noticed, as of Chapter 25, He Jianshan has never called the three words "Assistant Lin". In chapter 26, before "tasteme", Lin Hui's psychological description mentioned that He called these three words for the second time. In fact, the first time was in the ellipsis. He Jianshan shouted while biting Lin Hui's Adam's apple. The position of general manager assistant only needs to be responsible to the general manager. For He Jianshan, this title and the action when he shouted these three words for the first time greatly satisfied his possessiveness. This is a very important Emotional details, because I had to delete this paragraph, resulting in a connection fault, so I will add it to everyone in my writing.
In the end, it was originally not going to be updated tomorrow, but I may be busy next Monday, so the update will be moved to tomorrow, so that it will not be updated on Sunday and Monday or two days, and will continue on Tuesday. I wish you all a Happy New Year!
