Director Xu's office was quiet. Neither of them spoke. Director Xu looks at Xia Yuchen and drinks tea.

Xia Yuchen's hands crossed on his legs. He turned to look out of the window, but his sight was blocked by the tall spruce trees. Perhaps, for so many years, I have been blocked by such spruce, and I can't see the distance. Even if there is sunlight to shine on me, I have been completely blocked.

"Director, please let me think it over." He turned his eyes back and said to Director Xu.

Director Xu doesn't understand. What else can I think of? Isn't that fiancee your childhood sweetheart? What's more, the governor has promised to give you a promotion. The director of this office has been working for several years and has given you an outside job. How many people can't ask for it? Do you still want to think about it?

So think, director Xu is full of smile, should say: "that is, consider carefully, after all is your big matter."

Out of director Xu's office, Xia Yuchen's mind is in a mess. Instead of going directly back to his office, he goes to the open balcony and looks at the distance with the railing.

Although it was not noon and the weather was getting hot, he subconsciously put his hand into his pocket to find a cigarette, but he didn't find it. Only then did he realize that he had no longer taken that thing with him. How long had he stopped smoking? I can't remember how long I knew her, so I left her! People say it's very difficult to quit smoking. Judging from his experience, it's not difficult at all. However, it is so difficult to erase a person from his life. It seems that his life is full of the shadow of that person.

He looked into the distance, deep in thought.

Today, director Xu's interview should be what Governor Xu meant. Can we say that everything is like what my grandfather said, Governor Xu wants to consolidate his position by uniting with the provincial politicians? Among so many powerful factions, governor Yao is the one to be considered, and Tan family is also a heavyweight. At the beginning, Xia Yuchen became the Secretary of Governor Xu in the provincial government because of his background. In the past three years, Governor Xu has also been very kind to him and given him many opportunities, which is very good for his future development. Therefore, Xia Yuchen has always been grateful for the leadership's support.

At present, the marriage is not only a combination of Xia and Yao, but also the will of Governor Xu, which makes things more complicated. Maybe that's the way it is, but the parties didn't come to an early conclusion. However, when these big people design for the future, they don't consider the idea of the person who is regarded as a chess piece at all. Maybe they have thought about it. They think that this chess piece will never object to this arrangement, because he is also the direct beneficiary. Just imagine, who doesn't want to be successful in politics? Like him, Xia Yuchen has such unique conditions. I'm afraid he will wake up when he sleeps.

However, after living a regular life for more than 20 years, the lucky man suddenly wants to find another kind of life. It's only a few days since that kind of life came to him, and he has gone back to the seemingly prosperous road. Only, only he knows what it's like to take this road.

Think about these days of life, his face is only a bitter smile. What would it feel like if it was like this every day for the rest of my life? I'm afraid he has to be a workaholic.

At this time, his mobile phone suddenly rang. It was his uncle, Tan Hongyu.

Since that day, he has not seen his uncle. I don't know what happened.

"Are you free?" My uncle asked.

"Still at work."

"Come to me in the evening, will you?" My uncle asked.

"What's the matter?" Xia Yuchen did not answer, asked.

Fang Xiaoyou that matter, let him and uncle between how many all have a grudge.

"It's OK. Let's talk." Said my uncle.

"May I have another day? Today -- "Xia Yuchen refused. He is not ready to meet his uncle now, because he knows that he will inevitably talk about that night after meeting.

"Didn't you all break up? Why bother about that?" Tan Hongyu hit the nail on the head and said.

"Nothing to do with that!" Xia Yuchen's voice is very calm, but his heart is not like that at all.

"When did you become such a person that you can't afford to put down? Isn't it just a woman, as for that? " Tan Hongyu said.

"No, I have something else to do. I'll hang up first." Xia Yuchen is not willing to talk about Fang Xiaoyou with his uncle.

"I'll congratulate you in advance. Tell me what you want for your wedding present." Tan hung Yu finished and hung up first.

From his uncle's tone, Xia Yuchen clearly recognized his contempt for himself, because his uncle was totally sarcastic and contemptuous.

Maybe my uncle is the only one in the family who can laugh at him like this!

Xia Yuchen holding a mobile phone, turned out her number and photos, want to call her, fingers have several times to touch the launch button, but still failed to press.

Coward, he is a coward, even look down on his own coward.

However, what should Mr. Xu do with what he said?

When he goes back to the office, Li Yan comes to him with the document to sign.

"Isn't this signed by director Xu?" Xia Yuchen takes the document from Li Yan and asks.

"Director Xia, you forget that from this week, you are in charge of this aspect!" Li Yan replied with a smile.

"Oh, I've been a little confused lately." Xia Yuchen said, lowered his head to the document carefully, signed his name.

"Director Xia, do you have any trouble?" Li Yan boldly asked.

In fact, it's not just these days. He's been like this for a long time. Li Yan has observed it, but she doesn't know why. She would like to ask him, and then help him, even if he can't, let him say it.

He stopped, looked up at her, laughed, and looked down.

Still don't want to say! Li Yan sighed in her heart.

"Do you have someone you love?" He looked up again and asked suddenly.

Li Yan was stunned, but she immediately regained her smile and said, "yes, it's just a secret love!"

"It's very bitter!" He sighed, "clearly love that person, but there is no way to express, is really the most painful thing in the world!"

He didn't know whether he was talking about Li Yan or himself.

"In fact, secret love is not very bitter." Li Yan said that Xia Yuchen looked at her in bewilderment.

"As long as you are happy, you will be happy. It's really sweet to think of that person and look forward to him. If I can talk to him, it will make me happy for several days. " Li Yan said.

"That's fine! At least there's a sustenance! " Xia Yuchen sighs.

Li Yan looks at Xia Yuchen's dejected appearance, and an idea that she shouldn't have suddenly springs up in her mind: does it mean that director Xia is secretly in love with someone?

"Xia -" he handed her the document before she could name him.

"I remember when you introduced me to a western restaurant. Is it really good?" He asked.

"Ah, yes, it's really good!" Li Yan said quickly.

"Well, try it another day!" He said he turned to computers.

As soon as Li Yan saw him like this, she said "goodbye" and went out.

In the past two weeks, Fang Xiaoyou has been running between the unit and the medical college every day, because the experimental project of the medical college has also started. Now it's still the initial stage of raising animals. Her daily task is to beat the fruit she bought into juice, and then pour it into dozens of experimental mice. She had not done much animal experiment before, so she practiced the simple process of gavage for many days. These jobs are still simple. She only needs to go there on time every day, but it takes more than an hour for dozens of mice to pour down. After work, she went back to work.

When the laboratory entered the formal operation, she bought a lot of instruments and reagents, and basically received invoices every day. Therefore, in the unit, it was also the running of the yard upstairs and downstairs. So busy, also let her from the sad mood of lovelorn slowly came out, at the same time also let her calm thinking about themselves and Xia Yuchen.

On the Friday after director Xu talked to Xia Yuchen, Xia Yuchen and Yao Jing said that they had something to do with their colleagues, so they didn't go to Yao's house.

He stayed alone in the office until more than nine o'clock before driving away. Instead of going home, he went to Fang Xiaoyou's dormitory.

He had never been to her dormitory building, but he found out when chatting with Liao Fei. Playing ball with Liao Fei that day, Liao Fei talked about Fang Xiaoyou and said that the environment she lived in was not good. However, when dad asked Fang Xiaoyou, she said everything was OK.

Xia Yuchen stops his car in the yard, asks Fang Xiaoyou's dormitory number in the dormitory administrator, and then goes up. He thought she was there, so he stood at the door for several minutes without going in. He even wanted to turn around and leave.

"Who are you looking for, please?" Just when Xia Yuchen was about to leave, Xue Li's boyfriend suddenly opened the door and saw a strange man standing at the door.

Xia Yuchen Leng next, he does not know who the other party is, he forgot that Fang Xiaoyou live in a double dormitory.

"Who are you?" He asked.

Xue Li's boyfriend listened to Xia Yuchen's unfriendly and unhappy tone and said, "if you don't find anyone, please leave!" Then he closed the door.

"What are you doing?" Xia Yuchen pushed the door with one hand, but the other couldn't close it.

"Is Fang Xiaoyou here?" Xia Yuchen did not answer and asked.

Xue Li's boyfriend just let go and opened the door.

"She hasn't come back yet. Do you want to wait or do you want me to leave a message for her?" Xue Li asked her boyfriend.

Xia Yuchen listen to each other's voice, as if and Fang Xiaoyou very familiar appearance, in the heart can't help but angry, also don't answer, push the door to go in. When he went in, he saw two beds with a wire hanging in the middle and a curtain on them. Then he remembered what Fang Xiaoyou had said about the two people.

"No, I'll wait for her." Xia Yuchen said.
