Chapter 194 Young People's Perseverance
He was wearing a blue shirt with a white T-shirt and brown casual trousers. His casual business look was so different from last night that I almost didn't recognize him.
But his expression clearly showed that he recognized me, because apart from the pen in his hand reaching out to the female interns, his eyes were fixed on me.
"Xiao..." I was about to speak when I heard someone calling him in the distance.
"Gu Xiaohai, President Xia is in a hurry to attend a meeting. Come up immediately and notify the other interns in the Commerce Department."
Ministry of Commerce?
After hearing these three words, I decided not to talk to him. I turned around and didn't look at him again.
"coming."
Xiao Hai responded and must have walked away.
"So handsome! I noticed him just now!"
"A tall and well-built boy will stand out in a crowd!"
“It’s from the Ministry of Commerce!”
"That's a big department! Those who can get in are all talented! Nearly diamond-level young people with bright futures!"
"Indeed, but I don't know what your family background is like. It would be hard to get ahead in the Ministry of Commerce without some background."
"I don't care! I'll just look at the face first!"
Two girls were whispering behind us.
"know?"
I looked at Li Xin who was speaking, and Li Xin was looking at me.
I nodded.
"Don't you want to say hello?"
I shook my head.
"Then let's go up."
"Yeah." I followed Li Xin.
… …
Tao Meir and I sat in the rest area outside the conference room and watched the people who were having a meeting in the conference room.
Meijia and Xia Xiluo were holding a meeting with their respective people. There were two rows of interns sitting at the end of the conference room.
I looked carefully and saw Xiaohai sitting in the intern class, looking at the screen seriously and recording something. He looked much more gentle with his glasses on, and more like the way he looked in my memory.
The meeting didn't last long, but it felt like everyone in the meeting had very serious expressions and seemed to be speaking very quickly. The tense atmosphere could be felt even outside the meeting room.
End of the meeting.
Xia Xiluo and his people left the meeting room one after another.
Meijia walked out of the meeting room, glanced around and found us, she walked over quickly and sat heavily in the chair.
I pushed the prepared iced coffee in front of her and said, "Cool down now."
Mika sighed and drank half the cup.
Tao Mei'er and I looked at Meijia with a smile.
"Why do you think I am so unlucky? I always have to face Mr. Xia."
"She's not targeting you!"
"Yes! She targets every department in the company equally!"
"Really? Even though the Ministry of Commerce is a core department, it's too overbearing. We're all from the same company, but she makes us act like she's the Party A! She even bosses people around!" Tao Mei'er patted Mei Jia on the shoulder. "Don't be angry. We've all been bullied before. We'll get used to it!"
"I'm not a punching bag! I can't get used to being treated like this!" Mika said and drank the rest of the coffee.
"What project? The project that President Xia is attending in person should be very important." Tao Meier looked at Meijia
"That's right! Isn't the land in Haishi going to be turned into a new community integrating commercial and living? No company has done this before, so everyone has no experience and is just groping their way around. She's keeping a close eye on it."
"It took President Li and President Gong a lot of thought to get that piece of land, and it's understandable that President Xia attaches great importance to it. You also deserve credit for it, right?"
"Well! That's right! I just complained to you a few words. It's just a change of the plan! How could I be afraid of her? I was brought up by Li Xin! I can't embarrass the boss!" Mei Jia's eyes lost their playful look and became sharp and determined.
"It's so beautiful!" I held my face with both hands and looked at Meijia. "Confidence is simply the most beautiful makeup for a woman!!"
Meijia looked at me and smiled. She hooked my chin and said, "You are such a beauty! Don't just talk about me! Let me talk about you! I haven't seen you for a while and you have become thinner and prettier. Are you too hard on yourself?"
"That's right! I was just wondering how you managed to lose weight in the right places. How come your breasts haven't gotten smaller at all?" Tao Meier came closer and stared at my chest. "They're still pretty big! Do you have any secrets?"
I moved closer to Tao Meir, and Meijia also came closer.
"I'll tell you, the secret is..."
I smiled at Meijia and Taomei who looked expectant.
"Have a baby!"
"what!"
"what!"
"you are pregnant?!"
Meijia and Taomei looked at me with wide eyes in surprise.
I smiled and leaned back in my chair, "Keep your voices down, I don't plan on letting anyone else know!"
"Oh my God!" Mika stood up, pulled me up and looked at me.
Tao Meir also came to my side and looked at me.
"You are pregnant with the heir to the Gongyi Group!"
"How come you don't look pregnant at all? On the contrary, you've lost weight?"
"Do you think being pregnant is comfortable? I vomit more than I eat every day! If you don't believe me, you two can try it yourself!"
"I dare not! You are already feeling uncomfortable even though you are pregnant with the golden nugget of Gongyi Group! It is too difficult for ordinary people to raise children nowadays!"
"that is!"
"You are now the most valuable person in Gong Yi's family! Why are you still coming to work in the company?"
"Do I have to sit at home and feel miserable all the time? I'll feel much better if I can distract myself by working."
"Then you better be careful at all times! Don't mess with our precious young master!" Tao Meir said while touching my belly.
"Pay attention!"
"What do you want to eat for lunch? Please come and eat with your baby!" Meijia happily pulled me.
"No, no, I can't eat anything right now. I feel like vomiting the moment I think about eating! Besides, my husband should be looking for me at this time! I sneaked out while he was in a meeting!"
"Alright! You really sprinkle dog food everywhere and at any time!"
"Go back quickly! We don't dare to compete with Mr. Gong for people!"
"We will go to your place and the queen's place in two days! We will meet again."
"it is good!"
Separated from Meijia Taomei.
I was waiting for the elevator at the high-rise elevator entrance.
A person walked over.
I turned and looked at the person standing next to me.
Gu Xiaohai!
"Why are you here? Aren't you in the Ministry of Commerce?"
"I saw you when I came to the meeting just now." Xiao Hai handed me the thermos lunch box in his hand.
"What?" I looked at the lunch box and then at Xiaohai.
"I heard from grandma that you couldn't eat anything but noodles, so I brought this for you. I just heated it up."
I took the insulated lunch box and it was still warm.
"How long have you been waiting?"
"Come out of the conference room, go get some noodles, and come back to wait for you to finish talking."
"Aren't you busy at work?"
"Lunch break."
I checked my phone and it was indeed lunch time.
"Thank you, but don't do this again."
"You don't want others in the company to think that we know each other, right? That's why you ignored me yesterday."
I looked at Xiaohai. He looked at me calmly but tried hard to hide the disappointment in his eyes.
"No, it's because you are in the Ministry of Commerce, and it's better for you not to know me." I looked at Xiaohai with a smile.
"why?"
"The reasons are complicated and I can't explain them all at once. Just remember, just pretend you don't know me. I haven't hurt you! Just be obedient."
Xiao Hai nodded.
I smiled and said, "He looks more like the boy in my memory when he is not stubborn!"
Xiao Hai stared at me.
Ding. The elevator has arrived.
As soon as I raised my foot, Xiao Hai pulled me back.
"you have not answer my question yet."
I looked back at Xiao Hai.
"what is the problem?"
"Have you thought about me in these years?"
There was a hint of urgency and anticipation in his eyes.
"cough…"
I looked into the elevator. I don't know when the elevator door opened. Li Xin was leaning casually on the elevator handrail, looking at us with raised eyebrows.
"Mr. Li."
Xiao Hai looked at Li Xin and called him politely, but he not only did not let go of my hand, he held it even harder.
I took a step back, wanting Li Xin to go up first.
When the elevator door was about to close, Li Xin stopped it and walked out.
Li Xin lowered his eyes and looked at Xiao Hai's hand holding my arm. "Just say what you want to say. Some behavior will bring unnecessary trouble to others in the company."
Li Xin looked at Xiao Hai.
Xiao Hai looked at Li Xin, then at me, and he let go of my hand. "I'm sorry, Mr. Li. I was abrupt."
"The elevator is still there, shall we go?" Li Xin turned and looked at me.
I nodded.
Li Xin and I walked into the elevator.
I turned around and looked at Xiao Hai. He was still standing there in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking, but it was a bit uncomfortable to watch... The smiling face he had when he saw me last night suddenly flashed before my eyes.
Just as the elevator door was about to close, I reached out to stop it.
I looked at Li Xin and said, "You go up first, or wait for me. I'll talk to him for a few words."
"Okay, I'll wait for you." Li Xin stopped the elevator door.
I walked up to Xiaohai.
"Xiao Hai, I was sick for a while during my senior year. I forgot a lot of things and lost a lot of memories. It's not that I don't miss you, nor am I deliberately not looking for you, it's just that I really can't remember you. If I wasn't sick, of course I would miss you."
Xiao Hai looked up at me with a light in his eyes.
"I'm very happy that you were able to get into a good university and now come here for an internship. I'm also very happy that you can take such good care of yourself. It shows that you have really grown up."
There was a smile in Xiaohai's eyes.
"Okay, go to work. Do you remember what I just said to you?"
Xiao Hai nodded and said, "I saw him at the Ministry of Commerce and pretended not to know him."
I smiled with satisfaction and wanted to leave.
Xiao Hai stretched out his hand to block me.
I looked at Xiaohai.
He took my phone from me, added me as a friend, and then gave it back to me.
"I will work hard and stay."
He said this with a firm look in his eyes and turned away.
I walked into the elevator.
"Intern from the Ministry of Commerce, Gu Xiaohai."
I looked up at Li Xin. "Do you know him?"
"I'm from the same university as you. I ranked first in the finance major of the business school and was admitted to the Ministry of Commerce with the first place. It's part of my job to get to know this kind of key training target."
"Focus on training... that's amazing."
I smiled.
"This is the first time I see you care so much about someone. What's the relationship?"
I looked at Li Xin. "What do you care about? Do I have it?"
Li Xin nodded and looked at the lunch box in my arms. "Did he give it to you?"
I looked at the lunch box. "Well, his grandmother owned a noodle shop next to my university. When I was a freshman and sophomore, I had to work part-time. When I returned to school at night, only his family was willing to cook me a bowl of noodles."
"I'm so sleepy when I get to the store every night that I fall asleep while waiting for noodles. His grandparents are used to it and don't wake me up. They're old and they go to bed after cleaning up. Xiaohai has to study until late for his high school entrance exam, so when I wake up, he heats up the noodles for me."
"As time went by, we became close friends. At that time, he was very introverted and didn't like to talk. He was also very thin. His parents didn't care about him, and his grandparents didn't have enough energy to take care of him. He was bullied but he didn't dare to say anything. I saw it and couldn't just turn a blind eye, so I helped him a few times."
"I hadn't seen him for a few years, and I was shocked when I saw him again. He looked nothing like what I remembered."
I smiled and looked at Li Xin.
Li Xin also smiled.
"That's good, it means he can take care of himself now. But the little boy has grown up, and his mind is still very stubborn. He always cares whether I think about him or not."
"This world is really small. I didn't expect that we would be gathered here again."
"It's not that the world is small, it's just that the chances of excellent people meeting at the top are higher."
I looked up at Li Xin, who was smiling. "Boss Li, you are not only good-looking, but also speak beautifully! Please teach me how to raise my child to be like you!"
"What do you want to teach me? Just leave it to me. It's all fine as long as you're willing to do it."
"I'm willing to give it up! Otherwise, one Mo Chen is enough for me to handle, and if there's another Little Mo Chen, I'll have a headache just thinking about it!"
"I'd like to see how Mo Chen would react if he heard what you said. It would be very interesting just to think about it."
Li Xin and I laughed.
"What are you laughing at! Why are you smiling so happily at this kid!?"
When the elevator door opened, we saw Mo Chen standing outside the elevator staring at us.
"Hehe, you love-brained nymphomaniac, get out of the way." Li Xin pushed Mo Chen away with disgust and left.
I walked out of the elevator and Mo Chen hugged me, "What are you talking about? You're smiling so happily!"
I said helplessly, "Say... I'm going to have a little Mo Chen soon! One big and one small will be enough to give me a headache for a while!"
"What's so troublesome! He dares to disobey! I'll help you deal with him. Even if you have him, you are not allowed to spend your thoughts on him! You can only care about me."
"Are you okay? Are you jealous of your own son?"
"Anyway, let grandpa take care of the baby after it's born."
"Then..." Mo Chen leaned close to my ear and said, "Let's continue living..."
"Stop it! It's itchy." My ears felt hot and I pushed Mo Chen away.
Mo Chen smiled and said, "What are you holding in your hand?"
We both walked into the office.
"Xiao Hai brought me noodles..." I looked up at Mo Chen.
Mo Chen frowned "Him?"
"I just found out too. He's doing an internship at the company! The Department of Commerce! Li Xin also said that he's a key training target."
"and then?"
"That's pretty impressive!"
"He came to my company to show his affection to my wife, and he even wanted me to praise him! Let's talk about it if he can stay."
"He said yes!"
"He said?!" Mo Chen sneered. "What's the use of him saying it? It's only true if I say I can do it!"
I looked up at Mo Chen and said, "Oh, then Mr. Gong, do you think it's possible?"
Mo Chen reached out and tapped the lunch box in my arms. "If you keep spending your time on things you shouldn't be spending your time on, it won't be a question of whether you can stay or not."
I smiled and said, "Yes, Mr. Gong! I have already reminded you!"
