Noah Li stood on his office floor and looked down. The huge floor-to-ceiling windows that almost cover the entire wall give people the illusion of flying at first glance.
According to the company's system, the higher the floor, the more powerful the position. Li Xu quickly reached the top floor. He is indeed a capable person. At the age of thirty-five, he climbed to the core management position of a large joint venture company. Not everyone can do it.
Looking down from the window, downstairs is a street with only a gap between two office buildings. In fact, the street was very spacious, but looking down from his angle, it seemed like an abyss under the cliff. Unfathomable. The comings and goings of people become a turbulent stream, and once they are absorbed into it, they disappear without a trace.
What a dangerous world.
He put his hands in his trousers pocket and looked down for a long time, then frowned slightly. As if determined, he stretched out his right hand and picked up the mobile phone on the boss's desk.
Ethan Luo had just concluded a big project, and he ordered his secretary to tell anyone who asked that the general manager was not there. Then he locked the office door, turned off his business phone, loosened his tie, and fell down on the leather swivel chair in a very shameful manner.
In the silence, the cell phone ringtone suddenly rang. Luo Jing and two mobile phones, one for business and one for friends. He jumped up and took out the cell phones of his relatives and friends from a pile of documents. He forgot to check who was calling. He picked up the call and said with a smile, "Forgot something?"
The other party was silent for a long time.
"Qinghe, it's me."
Ethan Luo patted his forehead: "Ah, I'm sorry, I thought it was Elden Qi. What's wrong?"
Noah Li's hand holding the water glass tightened unconsciously: "I want to inform you..."
Ethan Luo was not in a hurry. He then leaned back in his chair, smiled and waited.
"I'm probably... getting married soon."
Ethan Luo was a little surprised: "Hey, buddy, are you serious?"
Noah Li didn't answer.
Ethan Luo's voice came from the phone. Most people's voices on the phone are different from their actual voices. Microphones always make people's voices seem robotic. Ethan Luo is different. Even on the phone, there was still a warmth when he spoke. Noah Li listened to him quietly, "You didn't stay at home for a few more days when you returned to T city for vacation. I met my aunt two days ago, and she complained to me that you were in your thirties and couldn't get married. I didn't expect you. She's getting married now...and she didn't even bring her siblings back for me to see. "
Noah Li suddenly laughed: "What younger siblings? Which one of us is older?"
Ethan Luo said matter-of-factly: "Of course I am older. I am two days older than you."
They have been fighting since they were teenagers about who is the brother and who is the brother. Luo Jing and Noah Li had been together for two days, but Noah Li never admitted it.
"I don't admit it."
"It's my fault if I don't admit it."
Ethan Luo laughed on the other end of the phone. When he smiled, the air seemed to vibrate slightly.
The head office is located in a municipality famous for its prosperity. T city is not far from the municipality, but Noah Li rarely goes back.
"She's okay. I met her through a friend. She's a nice woman." Noah Li said suddenly.
"That's good. Have you told Auntie?"
"No. Just wait. Ringo and I plan to keep everything simple about our marriage. She is a nice woman."
Not noticing that Noah Li always inadvertently emphasized that the other party was a good woman, Ethan Luo smiled and said: "Oh, I know, I know. I'll give you a big red envelope. When the little nephew or niece is born, recognize me." Be a godfather."
"That requires a longevity lock made of pure gold."
"You are really thinking long term, kid. I have no problem, hehe, it just depends on whether you can do it or not."
"You can't."
The topic returned to useless and confusing arguments. Anyway, the two of them have to fight for everything together, which becomes a kind of fun.
"Xu Fei, live a good life once you get married." Ethan Luo suddenly became serious. "This way aunties and uncles can rest assured."
"good."
"Bring me your sister-in-law sometime...name her Ringo, right?"
"good."
"I'm going to prepare a longevity lock right now. It must be of sufficient gold, so don't worry."
"good."
Ethan Luo finally noticed something strange about Noah Li: "Noah Li?"
"Um?"
"What's wrong?"
"Ah...the sun is so bright that it makes me sleepy."
"It's afternoon now, and it's rare that the sun is so bright."
"I've just finished my work. I'll take a nap first."
"Me too, I'm tired in spring and autumn."
"Bye?"
"Hang up. Keep in touch."
Noah Li hung up his phone and realized that the glass had been cracked by him. The sharp edge of the glass cut his palm, and blood mixed with water flowed out, spreading all over the large desk.
You are a waste.
He covered his face and huddled behind his desk. The sun outside the floor-to-ceiling window gradually tilts westward along its trajectory, and the shadows are also moving slowly. Noah Li's whole body was gently wrapped in shadow.
The biggest feature of T is that there are many trees. In autumn, the golden-red leaves are flying all over the sky with the wind. People walk through it, and the romantic atmosphere gradually spreads. Elden Qi ran out of the door holding the book and saw Ethan Luo leaning next to the Audi car, staring at the dead leaves flying around.
It's still a white scarf, but this time it's a formal black coat. He probably just got off work, with his hands in his coat pockets and his expression calm and serene.
"Hey, I'm sorry it's a bit late." Elden Qi was out of breath from running, and when he got close to him, he couldn't stand up straight with his knees up. Ethan Luo was not too busy these two days, so he took him home in the evening.
Ethan Luo took the book from Elden Qi's hand and tapped his back gently: "What's the hurry? I have nothing to do after get off work anyway."
Elden Qi stood up and asked cheerfully: "What's for dinner?"
Ethan Luo raised his finger and flicked his head: "When you see me, do you just want to eat?"
Elden Qi covered his head and giggled.
"Get in the car. I'm going to make porridge in a casserole tonight, so dinner will probably start a little late."
Elden Qi opened the car door and sat in. He was suddenly stunned for a moment, and then stuck his head out of the car window.
"What's wrong?"
"No... I seemed to have seen a figure looking this way just now, maybe it was an illusion."
Ethan Luo smiled and said, "I'm so hungry that I'm dizzy."
The black Audi slowly walked away. A slender figure stood quietly behind the thick maple tree, looking at the direction of the car, and did not move for a long time.
