Tan Yizhe got up on time and put on his suit and tie. He turned on the baker and coffee machine before washing up, and after washing up, he poured himself a cup of warm Blue Mountain coffee. There was also bread with blueberry jam in between them, and after washing up, he sliced the fruit into fruit salad on the cutting board.
Except for his mother, who was always urging him to get married, everything else seemed to have gone smoothly. Now that his career had been successful, he could consider what his mother had said.
Yesterday, the official documents had already been approved. Tan Yizhe had officially become the Director of Sales at Y Company, but after coming to Beijing, many things went wrong and he finally got a payback yesterday. Tan Yizhe was overjoyed, eating an extra piece of bread and dipping some more jam.
He didn't actually like the taste of blueberries, but because someone liked eating blueberries, he had gotten used to it after eating for so many years.
He drove to the office of the General Manager.
"Yizhe, congratulations, you are only able to sit in this position with your own ability." The general manager said with a polite smile.
"No, no, thank you for your help." Tan Yizhe bowed slightly to show his humility.
The General Manager acknowledged as he squinted his eyes to size up Tan Yizhe, "I have a mission here, if it is done well, it will be used to add honor to your position as Director, and it will be of great help to your future promotion."
Tan Yizhe was secretly pleasantly surprised, was he hinting that he would become the general manager in the future?
On the surface, he still maintained a calm expression and said, "Thank you, General Manager. What task is it?"
"An [A] class advertising company in Shanghai wants to cooperate with us. They want to send people to sign the contract with us. As for our side, we are amongst the directors. I'll take you there."
"I will do my best to live up to your expectations." Tan Yizhe said in an even more humble tone.
"Take a look at the documents for the detailed information." After saying that, the general manager gave Tan Yizhe a thick document, which Tan Yizhe took, "Go." Tan Yizhe took the information and returned to his office.
At the same time, an advertising company in Shanghai had already sent someone on a business trip. It was a 12: 05 flight.
At the airport, the woman was wearing a flowery dress with a belt that outlined her perfect waist. The waist-length wave flowed straight down like a waterfall, her blue stilettos and heels were inconspicuous yet flawless. Her jade-like feet were as white as snow, small and exquisite.
Beside him was a man wearing a white t-shirt and long brown training pants, revealing his tall and slender figure. He held onto the handle of his suitcase and said, "Shengmei, when are you coming back, I'll come get you." His deep voice revealed the charm of a mature man. This year, Gu Qingyan was already 27 years old.
"No need, I know how to take a taxi. Go ahead and do what you need to do." An Shengmei laughed, and revealed a faint pear-shaped vortex at the corner of her mouth.
"It's fine, I can get off work early tomorrow. I'll come pick you up." Gu Qingyan looked like he had nothing to discuss, his eyes were fixated on the woman who was half a head lower than him, his gaze was just like how it was 10 years ago, deep and honest, filled with deep emotions.
"Alright, alright, just come and pick me up. Why are you looking at me like that?" An Shengmei rolled her eyes at Gu Qingyan, but she did not feel anything from this look. It had been like this for so many years.
Gu Qingyan still wanted to say something, but the plane that was being announced to An Shengmei started to board the plane. An Shengmei took the pole from Gu Qingyan and said: "I'm going, I'll be back by noon tomorrow."
Gu Qingyan's words stuck in his throat. He wanted to say something, but he hesitated. After hesitating for a moment, he finally let out a slight sigh and only said "goodbye" to An Shengmei.
After An Shengmei got off the plane, she took a taxi to a hotel, then called the person in charge of Y Company. She agreed to meet up at the coffee shop on the first floor of the hotel at 4 PM.
An Shengmei changed into a set of formal white shirt with an OL wrapped around her butt. After taking the documents, she went to the coffee shop on the first floor and ordered a cup of coffee, while reading the documents and waiting.
Tens of minutes later, the chair opposite him was pulled apart, "Excuse me, is this Miss An An Shengmei?"
Just as An Shengmei was about to say "yes", she looked up and saw the man in front of him. He was dressed in a suit, with amber eyes that were brimming with vigor, and a wheat colored skin that was brimming with a healthy color. He had a professional smile on his face, but it did not reach his eyes.
An Shengmei focused and also revealed a professional smile, "I am."
The man in front extended his hand, "It's our first time meeting. Hello, Miss An."
"Hello." An Shengmei extended her hand out.
With his pure white skin, long fingers, and no ring on his hand, Tan Yizhe was slightly dazzled by what he saw. He had seen many beauties in Beijing, and many of them looked better than An Shengmei's hands. However, Tan Yizhe felt that these were the most beautiful hands he had ever seen.
"A cup of coffee, please." Tan Yizhe turned his head and spoke to the waiter, changing his thoughts. Counting the time, the two of them probably hadn't met for seven years.
Seven years of itchiness. If they hadn't been separated at the beginning, then what would have been the end of it now?
Tan Yizhe remembered the first time he and An Shengmei held hands, was when they were first year senior. He had forgotten exactly what day it was. He only remembered that it was a night, and the grass in the playground showed signs of life after pruning. Some dew had stained the grass and shone brightly under the school lights.
Some of them were running on the track, some of them were walking, some of them were walking, some of them were wearing suits, while some of them were standing on the platform with their stomachs puffed up.
And it was in this environment that Tan Yizhe held An Shengmei's hand, bypassed the harsh light, and laid down on the blind spot with no regard for the crystal clear water, supporting his head with both of his hands, and looked at the sky full of stars.
An Shengmei's hand was a little thin and cold; one hand was enough to cover her entire hand. Tan Yizhe raised the girl's hand. Under the dim light, they went from hands to fingers.
The star competition was as bright as the eyes of a lover. Tan Yizhe looked at An Shengmei's side profile and spoke of his unknown dreams and expectations for a future. The young girl would chuckle from time to time, and the faint dimples of her pear teeth and bright eyes were even more beautiful and brighter than the stars.
Tan Yizhi took a big gulp of the coffee. The bitter taste of the coffee was accompanied by a slight scalding sensation. Tan Yi Zhe coughed a few times. An Shengmei, who was on the other side, was about to ask, "Are you okay?", but Tan Yi Zhe clenched his fist into a fist and held it against his mouth. He extended his hand towards An Shengmei, indicating that there was no need.
"Miss An, regarding your proposal, our company has expressed that we have done very well. However, in terms of cooperation, we have some issues to discuss." After Tan Yizhe recovered, he continued to reveal a professional smile, as if nothing had happened.
