Chapter 41

After that, He Nian was still the same as before, working diligently, but occasionally I couldn't hide some thoughts and would show them a little bit.

But if it's really the same as what he said last time, if he said it's not urgent, he really won't be urging Yan Ruizhi to reply.

Such a peaceful day has passed for a while, and the previous decryption games have begun to buy. Judging from the data of the publisher, it is much better than expected.

So at the morning meeting for the new week, everyone was obviously much more excited.

After the routine reports and summaries were finished, the originally serious atmosphere eased a lot. Hao Shuai turned a pen and thought of something: "By the way, there will be an expo in the neighboring province in two days. Sent this, I had contacted another distribution before to go over there."

As an expert at socializing, everyone acquiesced that Hao Shuai usually goes to such occasions, so no one has any objections.

"Do you want to bring one or two people?" Yan Ruizhi asked, "I remember that the expo this time is longer than before, so one or two more people will help."

Yan Ruizhi himself doesn't like this kind of occasion, so every time Hao Shuai is on a business trip, he cares with guilt.

Usually at this time, we would look for more clever employees. Hao Shuai glanced around and had an idea.

"Otherwise, Xiao He will come with me," Hao Shuai offered, "Besides, the scale of this exhibition is so large that it would be a pity not to go. It is a good thing for young people to see more of the world."

He Nian is worthy of being a self-proclaimed "mascot". He is young, capable and good-tempered. Everyone takes good care of him, so the chief planner of the next-door team readily agrees: "Okay, we actually thought about this before, but we are worried about you guys. I thought he hadn’t been here for a long time, so I didn’t bring it up.”

He Nian, who was typing on his notebook, looked up in surprise: "Me?"

As if embarrassed, He Nian said: "But I don't know much, so you don't mind my clumsiness."

"It doesn't matter," Hao Shuai has always been optimistic about him, "and I heard that you went out with Mr. Zhao when you were in Beijing, and you must be together because of your affirmation of your ability."

After he finished speaking, he subconsciously asked the people beside him for advice: "Didn't you meet Mr. Yan that time?"

He was resting his forehead and distracted, seeing that everyone's eyes were on him, Yan Ruizhi nodded slightly: "Yes."

"It's a good thing you take him with you, let's go together."

"Okay, then Xiaohe doesn't need to report this time, and the extra travel expenses will be on my shoulders." Mr. Hao has always been generous, "It depends on Mr. Yan's willingness to let him go."

Yan Ruizhi glanced at him inexplicably, thinking that it was strange that Hao Shuai mentioned himself three times today, but he didn't show it, so he nodded: "Yes. Take good care of him."

The matter was quickly settled, and when the meeting was over, Yan Ruizhi saw He Nian exchanging ideas with the employees who had been there before.

He looked away expressionlessly, and went back to his office first.

After a while, He Nian politely knocked on the door and came in.

"President Yan, aren't you going?" As if he couldn't hold back, after a while, He Nian asked while Yan Ruizhi was resting.

"Usually Hao Shuai is the one to go at this time." Yan Ruizhi casually explained the reason.

"Then I was lucky to meet you last time." He Nian said.

Knowing that he was talking about the last business trip in Yunlin, when he mentioned it, Yan Ruizhi thought it was true in retrospect, nodded and said, "Indeed. I only go there once a year."

I didn't expect to meet, and even slept in the same room.

The Lunar New Year at that time seemed to be the same as it is now, just doing odd jobs or sleeping in a small single room next to the hotel.

But it's strange to say that even though He Nian seemed to be poor at that time, but his words and deeds were decent and polite, Yan Ruizhi only thought of him as something at home, and didn't think about anything else.

Thinking of this, he tried to speak: "Then how are you doing now?"

Before he could add a word, He Nian had already guessed what he was thinking, and immediately said: "There is no shortage of money, Mr. Yan."

Yan Ruizhi didn't quite believe it. He took a look at He Nian's current clothes, and just wanted to say that he could help if he was in trouble, but then he thought that the relationship between the two of them is not so "simple" anymore, and he hesitated to speak.

But He Nian is always very smart: "Really, you trust me."

"It was my dad before..." He opened his mouth, as if hesitating what to say, "I haven't touched the money you gave me."

Yan Ruizhi always felt like he was digging at the other person's wound, and he didn't intend to ask any further: "That's good."

After a while, He Nian called him again: "Mr. Yan."

"Ok?"

"I just asked. This time... I seem to be going next door for more than a week."

The movements of Yan Ruizhi's hands paused: "...I know."

"It's eight or nine days." He Nian said again, and carefully observed Yan Ruizhi's expression.

"Well, follow Hao Shuai well, he has a lot of experience and will take good care of you."

"Oh." Seeing that he said it very officially, He Nian replied in a low voice, and lowered his head again.

It's just that he is young, and he still hasn't hidden the unfulfilled expectations when he lowered his head.

Yan Ruizhi originally wanted to pretend not to see, but he also knew that he was like a coward who dared not promise easily.

But he felt that the loss in He Nian's eyes was too dazzling, so he added after thinking about it: "If you encounter any difficulties, you can tell me anytime."

"really?"

Yan Ruizhi let out a "hmm".

As if this sentence was enough, the light in He Nian's eyes was lit up again, and he nodded: "Okay!"

It was obvious that he was motivated to work again today, and Yan Ruizhi couldn't help laughing when he looked back.

Obviously such a good person can be satisfied with such a small promise.

Yan Ruizhi himself didn't realize that his mood had become happier because of the conversation just now.

He just thinks it's nice to be young.

It seems that I have also become light and light.

The day of the expo was set on Friday, but because they had to go there early, the assistant bought tickets for Wednesday for them.

Hao Shuai's efficiency has always been very high, and he didn't even miss the seminar on Wednesday morning, and he didn't go to the airport until noon.

After discussing with everyone, he was able to find the time to sit in Yan Ruizhi's office for a while. The other party was busy sorting out the data without looking up.

"Hey, I remember you always looked nervous every time I was on a business trip, for fear that our project would be rejected." Hao Shuai joked while tinkering with the coffee machine.

"I'll watch for you." Yan Ruizhi remained calm.

"Hey," Hao Shuai sighed pretendingly, "the relationship has faded."

"..." Yan Ruizhi didn't bother to talk to him.

"But to be serious, because of a cooperation, I have to take Xiaohe to a neighboring city." Hao Shuai finally lost his temper. "So it was originally scheduled for eight days, but because of this incident, it counted. It’s almost half a month away.”

Yan Ruizhi was stunned this time, and raised his head from a pile of complicated numbers: "So long?"

"Yeah, do you suddenly feel that the company will be very uncomfortable without your good brother for so long!"

Yan Ruizhi didn't want to talk to him: "So what time is your flight?"

"It's almost twelve o'clock. I'll leave when Xiaohe comes over."

"Oh...Okay," Yan Ruizhi quickly lowered his head, "I see."

"I'm not joking with you, I will take good care of the young people." Hao Shuai finished talking with him happily, got up from the sofa, and was about to leave.

When opening the door, Yan Ruizhi heard some outside voices.

He Nian should be waiting outside for Hao Shuai to ask him to go to the airport together, and he is waiting obediently.

"Xiaohe's first business trip! Don't be afraid!"

"Yes, it's okay to follow Mr. Hao, so relax."

"That's right, just see the world, it's like this when you first enter the industry."

Then there was the voice of New Year's polite response.

Yan Ruizhi accidentally called Hao Shuai who was standing at the door: "Wait."

He frowned: "What did you order for machine wine?"

After asking this question, he realized that the question was a bit broad. Yan Ruizhi was a little flustered, and added: "The last time he lived in Yunlin was not good. This time you have a long time, please upgrade him to a new class when the air ticket comes. The same goes for the room type. Just remember it on my head."

Afraid that Hao Shuai would ask more questions, he would yell at people after he finished speaking: "Let's go."

Hao Shuai gave him a strange look, but he knew that he would not be able to ask any questions, so he answered without saying anything.

But when he opened the door, Yan Ruizhi still raised his head and saw He Nian standing with the employees.

He is tall and recognizable at a glance.

He had a schoolbag on his back and no suitcase. Unlike someone who just had a job internship, he was very student-like.

At this moment, he is bending his eyes, as if he is talking to someone.

But Yan Ruizhi couldn't take another look, Hao Shuai had already closed the door for him, and then said to the door: "Xiaohe! Ready to go!"

Yan Ruizhi couldn't hear the voice behind him again.

At this time, the assistant was issuing air tickets and itineraries for the two of them, and it was lunch break again, and the group got together, chatting and joking.

"This time Xiaohe came back from going out, with experience, maybe he can come out of President Yan's office."

"Yes, anyway, I think Mr. Yan should also like quietness..."

Just didn't chat a few words, the crowd suddenly quieted down.

The door of Yan Ruizhi's office was suddenly opened.

"He Nian, you haven't taken any reports." His face was sullen, and his expression looked even dignified.

The employees outside were taken aback and exchanged a few glances.

Sure enough, Mr. Yan's attitude towards interns remained the same as before.

Liang Xiaoyou at the side gave him a sympathetic look.

He Nian didn't notice anything: "Mr. Yan, what report?"

"Come with me first." Yan Ruizhi dropped this sentence and went straight into the office.

Under the surprised and silent eyes of a group of people, He Nian hurriedly followed: "Oh!"

"It's over, it's over."

"Before I leave, I will be taught a lesson."

Everyone sighed.

In the office, when He Nian walked in, Yan Ruizhi was already sitting on a chair.

He closed the door carefully and called him: "Mr. Yan?"

"What report?" he said, "I remember I sorted it out before I left yesterday. You should have it in your mailbox?"

"Happy New Year."

Yan Ruizhi interrupted him suddenly.

Probably because the atmosphere had changed, He Nian suddenly realized something and didn't ask about the report anymore.

"How long this time?" He repeated the question he had asked a few days ago.

"Twelve days." He Nian replied obediently.

Yan Ruizhi was silent for a moment, and looked at him with pursed lips.

He Nian's expression was awkward, as if he was in a bit of trouble: "Mr. Yan, I'm leaving, don't be like this..."

Don't look at me like that.

Don't talk to me like that.

"I..." His eyes were hesitant, he stayed on Yan Ruizhi's body, opened his mouth, wanted to say something but didn't make a sound.

Yan Ruizhi himself knew he shouldn't.

Even if he wanted to say it, he could wait until the New Year came back. He always weighed the pros and cons and always made the most suitable choice.

but……

He suddenly felt that the twelve days were very long, and he also knew that New Year's greetings were hesitant to talk. He wanted to look at him, but at the same time he wanted to ask himself if he was reluctant to let go, and he wanted to be considerate and sensible without saying anything, and tried his best not to cause trouble for himself. , and come back quietly.

But he still remembers the twinkling eyes of New Year's greetings that day, and the expression of trying to get one or two more words of feedback.

Soon the New Year greetings confirmed his thoughts, he looked pitiful: "I will come back early, Mr. Yan, please don't..."

"Come here." Yan Ruizhi interrupted him.

He Nian kept silent, and walked over holding his breath.

"Come here a little more." Yan Ruizhi didn't know if he was fascinated, but he didn't stop, and continued to speak.

When He Nian finally approached, Yan Ruizhi's heart was beating violently, and when he looked into his eyes, he suddenly felt that there was an answer to what he had been hesitating for a long time.

He knew that he was cowardly and cautious, he knew that he was sensitive and evasive, and he also knew that his life might have new changes after this day.

But the New Year is so good, you must be close to him, you must hold your heart in front of you, and you must say it again and again.

Yan Ruizhi, I love you so much.

Yan Ruizhi seemed to have forgotten how to breathe. It seemed like an adventure to call someone with a cold face just now. At this moment, he didn't know what expression was on his face now, and maybe his original reason and intelligence could not be found.

He is clumsy, but he also tries to be sincere.

He closed his eyes, leaned forward lightly, and kissed the corner of the other's lips lightly.

His lips felt warm and soft, he only touched them, and then quickly moved away.

And He Nian froze for a long time, unable to say a word.

"I..." Yan Ruizhi lowered his head, feeling so embarrassed for the first time, "Give me a little more time."

"But I, I..."

He exhaled, his voice seemed to be trembling: "I want to try...to try with you."
