Chapter 58: Business talk

Money has brought convenience to life, but Yin Xian did not get a better rest.
After being promoted to the supervisor, he began to get in touch with the major customers of the lighting company, and gradually had another form of overtime: to accompany the leaders to socialize and socialize with the customers.
In the previous overtime work, Wang Jiexiang could probably know the time he went home, but the entertainment was different.
Sometimes when she said it was good to have a meal together, she waited and waited, and after working overtime, he still did not come back.
Nine o'clock.
Wang Jiexiang was a little hungry waiting. Checking her outbox, the text message she sent at 8:30 was successfully sent, but Yin Xian did not reply. She clicked to the inbox and looked at it. At six o'clock she asked: [Can I get off work on time today? I made braised pork ribs], at 6:20 he answered: [Hmm].
Guess that he has a meeting or delayed, Wang Jiexiang intends to wait a little longer.
Ten o'clock.
She was so hungry that her stomach hurts. She stuffed two slices of bread and couldn't help texting Yin Xian again.
[Are you in a meeting? Is it inconvenient to reply to the message? If you see the text message, can you reply me with a symbol or something? 】
Eleven o'clock.
Time flies so slowly, the phone didn't ring, and Yin Xian didn't go home. Wang Jiexiang walked around the house holding her mobile phone, and when she edited the text messages, she felt that she was annoying. If he was busy, would it be a bad idea to keep arguing him. After struggling for fifteen minutes, she still sent a message: [I'm worried about you, nothing happened, right? Receive a short message quickly. 】
Twelve o'clock.
After twelve o'clock, the company shouldn't have anyone. Wang Jiexiang thought, Yin Xian should be back now at the latest. She was sure to arrive at twelve o'clock, and immediately called him. The phone is available, but no one answers.
"It's okay, he has to get out of the company now, and he will be home in a while."
Wang Jiexiang comforted herself and reheated the meal. In her mind, she imagined that he was starting from the company at the moment, and then every street he passed by, every street lamp he waited for, she fantasized it all.
One o'clock.
The phone was out of power, and Wang Jiexiang began to call Yin Xian's cell phone non-stop while charging. There was a long beep from the phone, and she prayed that the phone would be picked up in the next second, but what was waiting was always "the call you dialed cannot be reached temporarily".
Could something happen? Wang Jiexiang couldn't help thinking in this direction.
Halfway through work, suddenly passed out and was sent to the hospital?
The phone was stolen. He was looking for the thief everywhere, not willing to go home?
The phone fell into the waterway, he couldn't take it out and couldn't walk away, thinking of various ways in place?
Too sleepy working overtime, accidentally fell asleep at the company?
Encountered a bad guy on the way home, but did he draw his sword to help when the road saw an injustice?
...
Two o'clock in the morning.
There were dozens of calls to the past. Wang Jiexiang was anxious like an ant on a hot pot, and she was sure that something had happened. Leaving a note at the door of her house, she plans to walk to his company to see.
The location of their home is good. They come out late at night, and there are food stalls open outside, and there are street lights and lights of some shops everywhere. Wang Jiexiang walked towards Yin Xian’s company with her mobile phone. It was raining outside. She was wearing thin clothes and felt chilly.
The more you go, the fewer people on the street, and occasionally you will encounter drunks or a group of teenagers who have not returned home. She deliberately walked around them, looking around to find out if there were any visible figures on the street.
When he arrived at his company, the building was completely dark. Wang Jiexiang thought about going upstairs to take a look, the door was locked.
"Yin Xian! Yin Xian!" she shouted several times downstairs.
Staring at the dark windows upstairs, she panicked.
Unwilling to go home like this, Wang Jiexiang made a few more calls. The last time he made a call, a different tone came from his mobile phone: Hello, the phone you dialed is turned off.
Three o'clock in the morning.
When Wang Jiexiang returned home, the note at the door was still stuck, and when he opened the door, the light at home was not turned on.
She took an umbrella, locked the door, and waited for him at the gate of the community. I have practiced all kinds of bad things happening in my mind. If the phone rang, she might be more scared than not.
That might be a call from the hospital.
At 3:30 in the morning, a taxi stopped at the gate of the community.
Just as Yin Xian got out of the car, he saw a figure running towards him.
As soon as she approached, she smelled the heavy alcohol on him. Wang Jiexiang dragged Yin Xian to the street lamp, rubbed his face in a panic, and checked everything on his body.
"What's wrong with you? What happened?"
"It's okay." He said, the taste of alcohol was stronger, but his tone of voice was calm.
Wang Jiexiang bit his lips tightly, and the worries he had accumulated all night turned into anger. Her hands were trembling, she stared at him, and yelled at him viciously.
"It's okay? It's okay for you to come back so late! I was scared to death by you!"
Yin Xian came over to hold her hand, and she slapped him vigorously.
"Tell me, what are you doing? Why don't you answer the phone? You will be happy if you make someone anxious!"
The excessive volume attracted the security of the community, and he walked out of the security booth.
Yin Xian rubbed his sore temples, and his eyes signaled that someone was next to her.
"go home."
Wang Jiexiang also didn't want to quarrel in public, making her and Yin Xian ashamed. Before the security came over, she took a step forward and walked to their apartment building.
The two entered the elevator one after the other. She held her hands and stood a step away from him.
Yin Xian presses the elevator button.
All the way back home in silence. He caught a glimpse of the paper sticking to the door. Before he could see it clearly, Wang Jiexiang went over and tore it off.
She took out the key to open the door, and it took a long time to match the keychain.
Entering the room, turning on the light in the entrance, she closed the door.
Yin Xian still didn't talk to her, changed his slippers, and went straight to the toilet.
Wang Jiexiang followed him, chasing after him, still asking the question just now: "Why did you go all night?"
The toilet door closed in front of her, and the faucet inside was opened.
Yin Xian's voice was blurred by the sound of water.
"Talk about business," he said.
Wang Jiexiang wanted to listen to the explanation. How could she be dismissed by these three words when she waited all night and sat on pins and needles all night.
"It's not enough to not answer the phone for so many hours when discussing business, don't you have time? Don't you remember that I am waiting for you? Why come back so late?"
The sound of the water became louder and louder, and she stood outside the door and waited for five minutes.
"Is there no reason? Aren't you going to say it?"
"Pop—" The tap was pushed off, and then she heard his answer.
"Walking in a hurry, the cell phone forgot the unit."
After saying this, the shower in the bathroom was turned on and the sound of running water sounded again.
Before Yin Xian went home, Wang Jiexiang wanted him to connect to the cell phone to talk to him. At this time, he was at home, but she suddenly felt speechless.
She stood at the door of the toilet silently for a long time.
After a long time, probably Yin Xian thought she was no longer at the door. Wang Jiexiang heard vomiting from the toilet, the suppressed vomiting caught in the sound of splashing water.
The moment she heard the sound, her stiff and straight back was drained by the sudden trance.
Wang Jiexiang was suddenly pulled out of her anger and grievance. She realized: Yin Xian was very uncomfortable, so he went to the toilet as soon as he got home.
Subconsciously raising her hand, she wanted to unscrew the doorknob and take a look in the toilet.
The doorknob was not unscrewed.
The inside of the door was locked.
The sound of the door opening made him stop vomiting. There was a door between the two of them, none of them spoke, only the sound of water flowing.
In fact, Wang Jiexiang was really angry.
When she returned home, she had made up her mind, no matter how Yin Xian explained, she would always find his fault.
But, she heard the sound of water, she heard him throw up, she couldn't open the door. Then at this moment, Wang Jiexiang suddenly discovered that she would rather listen to his lame and careless explanation to help him clean up the dirty floor full of fouls, rather than being locked out.
Talking about business, socializing, it is difficult to refuse, so I went home late.
She can understand, there is no reason to be inconsiderate.
"Have you eaten?" she asked him in a low voice.
Yin Xian returned quickly this time.
"Eat, you can go to sleep."
According to his usual temper, Wang Jiexiang would definitely refute him reluctantly: Sleep? I thought you had an accident outside. If you don't come back after four o'clock, I will go to the police station to call the police. I'm in shock, do you think I can sleep now!
Now, her heart was empty, and she didn't even lose her temper.
Following his instructions, Wang Jiexiang left the toilet door and walked to the bedroom.
Her legs were a little sore from standing motionless. She went into the bedroom and sat on the side of the bed for a while. Then she remembered that she hadn't eaten anything tonight and she wanted to put it in the refrigerator.
Braised pork ribs and the rice in the rice cooker can be eaten hot tomorrow, but you cannot eat overnight like green vegetables.
Wang Jiexiang had no appetite, but didn't want to waste it, so he picked up his chopsticks and ate a few mouthfuls of green vegetables.
The green vegetables were cold, and she chewed a few bites in her mouth, but the bitter taste was really hard to swallow.
She dumped the dish and sighed again.
Wash the dishes, wrap the rest of the dishes in plastic wrap, wipe the table, and wash the rice for breakfast tomorrow.
Wang Jiexiang looked outside through the window, and the sky was slightly white.
The sound of water in the toilet stopped, but Yin Xian did not come out.
In less than two hours, she will get up and start putting on makeup. This night that made her feel like a year, just passed.
Wang Jiexiang turned off the light in the dining room and went back to the room.
She almost fell asleep after touching the pillow.
When the alarm clock went off, she got up with a big yawn, her eyes were dry and her back hurt.
Yin Xian was lying next to her, not awakened by the alarm clock.
Wang Jiexiang went to the bathroom to brush his teeth.
No matter the floor, sink or bathtub in the toilet, all are clean and even dry.
Like the habit after using them every day, he cleans the bathtub and sink, and wipes the floor dry.
Today is not a working day, and Yin Xian does not need to arrive at the company early. Wang Jiexiang left him a meal and a pot of sober soup.
When she was eating lunch, she looked at her phone, and there was a text message from him in her inbox.
[I’ll be back later, don’t worry, eat first and sleep first. 】
Press down and he replied to the one she sent yesterday: [I am worried about you, nothing happened, right? Receive a short message quickly. 】
Wang Jiexiang thought for a while, and had no idea what to write.
She clicked into the outbox, and the text messages she sent him were densely packed. The content of the text messages contained a few sentences, but more of them were like small essays. As for the inbox, the words "um", "work overtime", "don't wait", and "know" appeared the most. The one he just posted was a lot of words.
This is their way of getting along, in text messages, in daily life.
【it is good】
She edited the reply and prepared to send it, adding another sentence.
【it is good. Are you sober? Are you dizzy? 】
Looking at the screen, she finally deleted the added words.
Only returned: [OK].
