The next day, Duanmulian woke up from his sleep, his drowsy head buzzing, telling him that he didn't sleep well last night.

Duanmulian pursed his lips in shame, forgetting what happened last night, he caught a glimpse of the booklet in the corner of the sofa, picked it up and looked at it for a second, then opened a drawer that was not used often, and threw it away in the pile of sundries bottom layer.

He dressed up and drove to the company. He didn't work overtime yesterday, and today he had a new task. He had to get busy early in the morning. He turned on the computer and continued to write the half-drawn contract. It's the same as usual, but something is different.

Life is still going round and round and boring, Duanmulian extinguishes all thoughts, devotes himself to busy affairs, and makes plans to further take over the company.

Lin Mio went to and from the company more frequently. In addition to contracting Duanmulian's off-duty time, he would also use his own convenience to help out a little. Every time his father saw this young lady, he would always boast about it. Over time, everyone in the company understood what Lin Mio was. They even speculated about the reason why she repeatedly entered and exited Duanmulian's office.

This day, Duanmulian was busy in the office all morning. He pinched the bridge of his nose to relieve his tense nerves. He went to the pantry to pour a cup of coffee during his lunch break, and sat in the rest area of ​​the small hall with a hot cup in his hand, ready to take a nap. Yes, as soon as he closed his sore eyes, he heard Lin Mio humming from far to near the elevator exit, and realized that his lunch break was wasted again.

Lin Mio saw him from a long distance, trotted over and sat on the sofa beside him, giggling at him, Duanmulian took a sip of coffee to cheer up, the two of them had been together for a long time, and he also understood this The eldest lady's temper no longer had the scruples she had earlier. He leaned on the sofa and asked with an attitude of waiting for Ling Chi, "What's wrong with Miss Lin?"

Lin Mio took the half-drunk coffee from his hand and put it on the table, and couldn't help complaining, "Almost every time I see you, you look half-dead, and the secretary of the political commissar is not as busy as you."

"Forced by life." Duan Mulian squinted his eyes and looked at the tall buildings and white clouds outside the window. He didn't know when he began to force himself to work on the paperwork, getting used to overloaded work,

"You are poor, and you deliberately find excuses not to play with me."

"It's not enough for the eldest lady to come here every day, what's the big deal today?" Duan Mulian didn't have the heart to argue with her, and thought that he would have to work overtime to spend time with her, but Lin Mio didn't know this time I really want to ask for something.

"Xiao Lian, the company has taken on several projects in a row, and there is not enough manpower. If you still have spare time, please borrow two editors."

When Duanmulian heard this request, it was obviously a trivial matter, and Lin Mio had helped him so much before he had time to thank him, so he agreed without thinking, "There is no reason for Miss Lin to refuse, when will you ask?" people?"

"Thank you, I just like how straightforward you are. The time depends on your arrangement." Lin Mio laughed and put her arms on Duanmulian's shoulders, as if she had made a loyal brother.

Duanmulian was somewhat resistant to the sudden touch, but he still couldn't bear to push the girl away. He moved his body uncomfortably and echoed: "It should be, Miss Lin, you don't need to be here..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a familiar voice behind him.

"Miss Lin, I'm sorry, I have a big order here that needs the cooperation of Duanmu Group. I'm afraid there is no free manpower to arrange it due to time constraints."

"Ye Qing?! Why are you here?" Duanmulian hurriedly stood up, feeling that there would be troubles in his heart.

Ye Qing casually draped the kraft paper bag on his shoulder, he couldn't see his expression, but he could feel the powerful aura emanating from this man.

Duanmulian knew that from Ye Qing's extremely unfriendly words just now, this man was quite unpleasant.

Duanmulian gritted his teeth and told himself that he shouldn't be so incompetent. He boldly gave back all the man's arrogance, "Mr. Ye, although all visitors are guests, we must pay attention to the order of first come, first come first. It would be out of style to agree to Ms. Lin's request in one step, and to regret it temporarily, so I can only let Mr. Ye's matter go for a while."

The corners of Ye Qing's brows twitched slightly, his displeasure turned into anger, he didn't expect Duan Mulian to dare to contradict him directly, he didn't look like the little guy he knew.

Ye Qing was at a loss for words for a moment, looking at Duanmulian's face pretending to be calm, he felt strange and distressed.

Fortunately, Lin Mio came out in time to make a rescue, she smiled kindly and persuaded: "Xiao Lian, our company's project is not in a hurry, it must be a serious matter for Mr. Ye to come here in person, and there must be no delay. Anyway, in Ye For the sake of Mister, I still have to..."

Before Lin Mio could finish speaking, Duanmulian couldn't wait to interject, "No need, both of you are our company's distinguished guests, and this can only be attributed to the company's limited resources. Since everyone has needs, everything You have to follow the rules, so I can only say sorry to Mr. Ye."

Ye Qing held the paper bag containing the contract under his arm, obviously making a concession, "I really admire Mr. Duanmu's principled work attitude. It's unfortunate that I came here today, and there will definitely be opportunities for cooperation in the future."

Duanmulian was a little surprised that the man gave in so easily, but the next sentence gave him a headache.

"Can I borrow some time from Mr. Duanmu tonight to talk about some private matters?"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Ye, I've been busy with business recently, and I may work overtime tonight. You'd better hire someone else for the project."

"It's okay, I will wait for you."

"No need, the company's hospitality is not good enough. If Mr. Ye has nothing to do, please come back first."

Ye Qing tilted his head slightly thoughtfully, his expression remained unchanged, he remained calm after the door was closed, "Since Mr. Duanmu has no intention of entertaining guests, I have no choice but to say goodbye first."

Lin Mio was quite frightened by the tense atmosphere between the two, so she had to appease the big boss in order to meet her in the future, "Mr. Ye, I will see you off."

"Miss Lin, just stay here." Ye Qing's originally calm eyes turned a little more ruthless when he looked at Lin Mio, and the girl slumped and stood there at a loss.

It was a long time after Ye Qing left that Duan Mulian apologized, "I'm really sorry for making Miss Lin feel wronged."

"I can't say I'm wronged, it's just... Is there any grudge between Xiaolian and Mr. Ye?" The girl didn't care about Ye Qing's abnormal behavior towards her, but cared about the conflict between the other two.

Duanmulian took a big sip of cold coffee, he didn't want to mention anything about this man, he replied perfunctorily, "It's nothing."

"But you used to have such a good relationship..."

"Miss Lin...don't ask any more." Duanmulian was inexplicably twisted when he heard the word [before], that old and yellowed memory had already been cracked, and he didn't want to see it, which was full of sadness.

Seeing this, Lin Mi knew that she was no longer forceful, she would never force others to be difficult, she was just curious about how Duan Mulian, who never caused trouble, would be so rude to Ye Qing uncharacteristically, it was unbelievable that the man did not refute, Everything was according to Duan Mulian's intentions, and the inexplicable hostility towards him made Lin Mio even more confused.

While thinking about it, Lin Mio was also a little happy. Duanmulian would stand on her side to confront the man, which made her very flattered and moved. Lin Mio looked at this big boy who was lying motionless on the sofa, why was he so tired? I suffer by myself, I bear all the hardships by myself, I never need people's understanding or help, I can't help but feel palpitations in my heart, but I have to resist the urge to reach out and hug.

At night, Duanmulian was typing on the keyboard at his desk and couldn't help yawning. Looking at the time, it was already early in the morning. He sat there for a while and guessed that Ye Qing should have gone back. Although he didn't know what Ye Qing said. "I'll wait for you" in the end, but he felt that there was no need for an outstanding big boss to waste time because of his small role.

Duan Mulian rubbed his sore shoulders, packed up his things and prepared to go home to rest. Ye Qing, who was sitting downstairs in the car, saw that the light in the only lit window of the building in front of him finally went out. He pinched off his hand and burned half of it. Smoke stared at the empty gate.
