Chapter 124 I just can't open my mouth to let her know. I can't do it with just a few simple words
Chen Xi turned around and saw that it was Dashan.
There were so many things going on during this period that he completely forgot that Dashan was also helping his father at the exhibition.
"Hello, I forgot you were here."
Chen Xi greeted apologetically.
"Ha, how is it? Is everything going well?"
Da Shan seems to be in a good mood, he must have received a lot of big orders. He obviously talked a lot today.
"It's not bad. Seeing that your face is glowing, it must be good. I haven't seen you in the past four days!"
"Well, I have been helping at the booth. , We are about to retreat, there are still many things to do." Dashan patted him on the shoulder.
"I'm very busy too!" Chen Xi stretched and said slightly tiredly.
"Where are you busy? What are you doing? I have been working on large machines!"
Da Shan said proudly, and the large machines in his words also aroused Chen Xi's interest.
"What, tell me, my family is also engaged in machinery, maybe they are in the same field!" Chen Xi quickly hooked his neck and asked.
Da Shan replied proudly: "We make molds for beverage bottles."
Chen Xi didn't know much about this field. He asked in confusion: "What is this? Beverage bottle molds." ? Glass bottle? ”
"We are partners of some beverage manufacturers such as Bayonet Carol, and we make injection molds, blow molds, cap grinding tools, hot runner systems, etc..."
"So awesome "Wait, it seems to be similar to my friend's company." Chen Xi suddenly thought of Sangou's company.
"Huh? Are we going together? What's your name?" Dashan was slightly startled.
"The one from Guangdong Province seems to be called Xing..."
"Oh, I know, we have cooperation and are considered good brother companies..."
As soon as Dashan heard that it was the company of his father's friend, his interest suddenly came back. He talked a lot. He usually seemed taciturn, but now he became so eloquent.
"What? Your family makes machine tools?"
Da Shan asked in surprise.
Chen Xi briefly introduced his family's business, including machines such as robotic arms and 3D printers.
Da Shan was even more surprised after hearing this.
Although he didn't know much about these machines, he had heard of several machine brands of Chen Xi's family.
Because his family had been in the glasses business before, their machines were used in the processing of glasses.
“After doing business, it turns out that we are all acquaintances!” Dashan smiled after thinking about it.
"Yes." Chen Xi nodded.
Another classmate’s family was engaged in furniture production, and the machines they used also included those from Chen Xi’s family.
Dashan took Chen Xi to a corner booth. Perhaps because their machines were relatively large, the people at the convention and exhibition center specially arranged them in this location.
So Chen Xi walked around the exhibition hall for several days without encountering Dashan.
"It's quite difficult to assemble such a big thing, isn't it?" Chen Xi asked, looking at the machine that was taller than a person.
"That's not true. I came here to assemble it early, because a machine requires many people to spend a long time to install." Dashan said with a smile. This time he helped his father busy and participated, and felt Very fulfilling.
However, because he was not good at speaking, orders and other matters were naturally not negotiated. These were all handled by the company's employees.
Cooperating with a big manufacturer like Bayonet CAROL is undoubtedly very secure.
According to his understanding in his previous life, companies like Sangou's company cooperated with major manufacturers such as BEST and Bayonet, and thus quickly became the industry leader and became a very powerful local company.
"Are you planning to return to China to inherit the family business in the future?" Chen Xi asked weakly.
Because he remembered that Dashan immigrated to the beautiful country and lived a life like a salted fish. In addition to playing games every day, he also played basketball.
“Otherwise, if I don’t take over such a big company, who will? I don’t want to read anymore, so I want to go back to work quickly, but my family doesn’t agree.”
Dashan is full of confidence now, and he doesn't know what happened next. Chen Xi guessed that he broke up with Xiao Yu, which caused his mentality to change, and later turned into a salted fish lying flat.
Children from privileged families like them may not be as strong as ordinary people in facing setbacks when it comes to certain things.
Chen Xi is an example. He became addicted to gambling because his parents divorced.
"Hey, work hard and don't fall in love!" Chen Xi sighed, patted Dashan on the shoulder, and said sincerely.
"Damn, you are in love, and you persuade me not to fall in love. You are such a double standard." Dashan slapped the hand on his shoulder away angrily.
"Okay, you go help your father. I'm going back to the booth to see if there's anything I can help with." Chen Xi turned around and left without saying a word.
“I’ve already shown you our machines, why don’t you take me to see yours?”
“Look at the chicken feathers, I’ll give you two brochures in a minute. Go home and watch it by yourself, haha." Chen Xi waved his hand and walked quickly towards the booth.
Zhao Lingshan must be helping to pack things at this time, and she will be giggling again when she doesn’t see her.
7pm.
"Well, the results of this exhibition are good..."
At the dinner table, Father Chen picked up a glass of juice and started to speak.
He does not smoke, drink or gamble, and is allergic to alcohol, so he will not drink at the dinner table. Even if he meets a boss of the same level, the other party will accommodate him with tea instead of wine.
“Mr. Xiao Chen performed well this time, and the booth he was responsible for received many orders.”
“Yes, the young master is very attentive to his work.”
The bosses began to praise Chen Xi's performance at the exhibition.
Chen’s father did not make any comments, neither praising Chen Xi nor belittling him.
Instead, he just smiled.
After all, who doesn’t like to hear other people praise their son? This put a light on his face.
“I met the boss of JMM today. They took a lot of orders. They were chatting happily at first. But then, I don’t know what happened. Their boss suddenly looked very ugly. I don’t know why. It’s not because I’m hungry, but sitting there with a straight face is like being cheated on by my wife,” said a branch manager.
"Ha, I also saw him entering the toilet, and he seemed to have met Mr. Chen." Another person added.
These two sentences immediately attracted Chen's father's attention, and he turned slightly to Chen Xi.
"Oh, that boss said that I have outstanding abilities and talents, and wants to recruit me to work for him!" After saying that, Chen Xi raised the business card in his hand and waved it in front of everyone.
“Hahaha!”
The people at the dinner table suddenly burst into laughter.
The boss of the other party actually poached his competitor's son. If this spreads out, the JMM boss will be completely embarrassed. In the future, if this gets out, he will probably be laughed at by his colleagues.
"I'm leaving tomorrow. You can go back too. We'll meet again when we return to China at the end of next semester. Study hard and don't be greedy for pleasure. I have been a study committee member and class cadre since I was a child, even at Beijing University..."
After the meal, Chen Xi was called to the room to receive a lecture. This lasted for nearly an hour, and his ears were almost blown off.
I originally thought that my father would not say anything to him this time, but after working on it for a long time, I made a big move on the last day.
Zhao Lingshan listened on the sidelines, covering her mouth and snickering.
Chen's father didn't shy away from it either. Zhao Lingshan had been watching Chen Xi being disciplined since she was a child.
After he left his father's room dizzy, he and Zhao Lingshan walked out of the hotel.
Chen Xi planned to send Zhao Lingshan home, while he himself was planning to take the flight back to Mocun the next morning.
Originally, Zhao Lingshan missed him, but Chen Xi declined the other party’s offer to send her off to the airport tomorrow.
I have been tired for four days, how can I let others get up early in the morning to see me off at the airport.
At night in Xi Village, the sky is like a huge black velvet cloth, and the stars are like carefully sewn bright dots on it.
The hustle and bustle of the day gradually subsided, replaced by a kind of quiet beauty.
The sea breeze blew gently, bringing the sound of waves lapping on the shore, adding a unique charm to the night. The Harbor Bridge is like a huge steel beast, winding and majestic in the night.
The traffic on the bridge seems to be a flowing ribbon, and the constantly flashing lights seem to depict a unique pulse for the city.
"Hahaha, it's so cool to see you looking so deflated!"
Along the way, Zhao Lingshan laughed so hard that she couldn't hold herself back. Chen Xi was dejected and dug his ears with his fingers, looking a little helpless and embarrassed.
"Okay, I'm home, do you want to come in and sit down."
In front of a brand-new looking villa, Zhao Lingshan stopped.
"No, I have to catch a flight tomorrow morning. I'll leave first. You can rest early."
Chen Xi declined the other party's invitation and was about to turn around and leave.
"Well, bye!"
Zhao Lingshan looked a little disappointed, probably because she was about to separate from Chen Xi.
Her steps gradually slowed down. The distance that was originally only a few meters felt extremely far away at this moment.
“Shanshan!”
Suddenly, Chen Xi summoned up the courage to turn around, as if he had made up his mind.
At this time, he felt slightly different from before.
"Huh?"
Zhao Lingshan felt her heart beat suddenly, as if she had been hit hard, and she immediately stood there blankly.
Then, she quickly turned to look at Chen Xi, her eyes full of expectation and excitement.
"I'm sorry!"
Chen Xi shouted these three words excitedly, clenching his fists tightly as if to release the guilt and regret in his heart.
In his previous life, he had no chance to say these words, but now, he finally had the chance to muster up the courage to express his apology to Zhao Lingshan.
"Huh? What the hell."
Zhao Lingshan did not hear the words she expected, but heard Chen Xi's "I'm sorry".
These three words made her feel a little confused and inexplicable, because she didn't understand why Chen Xi wanted to apologize.
“When you were a child, you injured your leg. I didn’t go see you because I was afraid that others would misunderstand what was going on between you and me. I was relatively introverted at that time and cared a lot about the opinions of people around me. I’m sorry, I'm sorry!"
"And I deliberately alienated you later..."
Chen Xi's face showed deep guilt, and he apologized continuously, with a hint of sobs in his voice.
My eyes were also a little moist, flashing with tears of guilt and regret.
He has been extremely strong since he was a child. Even when he was injured in a fight with others, he would not shed a single tear.
However, at this moment, just a few words made him suddenly fall into deep sadness.
Zhao Lingshan stood on the spot. When she heard Chen Xi's words, she lowered her head silently, bit her lips, and intertwined her two little hands tremblingly.
A few minutes passed like this, and she suddenly raised her head and ran towards Chen Xi, burying her head deeply in the other person's chest, letting her tears flow.
"You know? I thought you hated me before. You thought I was the kind of overbearing and unreasonable young lady. I have been trying to change myself for so many years, ugh~" Zhao Lingshan said with a cry. With.
Chen Xi hadn't seen Zhao Lingshan cry like this for a long time.
The last time the two of them got into trouble was when they were in elementary school because of some minor conflicts.
Chen Xi stroked her hair gently, feeling a little emotional in his heart.
“I’m sorry, it’s all my fault!”
“You bastard, it took you so long to say this to me, I’ve been waiting for so many years...”
>
Chen Xi apologized apologetically, while Zhao Lingshan was in his arms, beating his body with her small fists, and vaguely expressed her grievances and dissatisfaction in her heart.
The two of them hugged each other and cried, and the misunderstandings and conflicts in the past were released at this time.
The emotions that have been suppressed in my heart for many years are finally released.
After a long time, Zhao Lingshan seemed to have exhausted her tears, and then she slowly stopped crying.
She wiped her face with a hand full of snot and tears, and took a step back.
Chen Xi, who originally saw Zhao Lingshan stop crying, felt a little comfort in his heart.
“Boo~”
However, the next second, Zhao Lingshan stood on tiptoes and kissed him on the lips.
"You..." Chen Xi was stunned.
"Don't think too much, you have a girlfriend, and I'm not the kind of third party who likes to get involved in other people's feelings. This kiss can be regarded as the farewell between childhood sweethearts. If you break up, remember to notify I promise you that you won’t be able to escape from my grasp. Okay, I’m leaving. If I see you again, I’m afraid I won’t be able to help but continue to cry.”
Zhao Lingshan said, turned and left.
Although her tone was firm, there were still tears in her eyes.
“Goodbye, Shanshan!”
Chen Xi looked at Zhao Lingshan’s leaving back and waved his hand gently.
“Goodbye, Chen Xi!”
Zhao Lingshan did not look back, but she stretched out a hand and shook it in the air. At this time, her eyes were filled with tears.
The next day, Chen Xi briefly said goodbye to his father and took the return flight.
Through the glass window of the plane, he stared at the city gradually fading away, and he couldn't help but feel a surge of complicated emotions in his heart.
The memories of last night came flooding back, making him unable to calm down.
After pouring out the words he had been holding in his heart, he did not feel the relief he expected.
He originally thought that this would make him feel more relaxed, but contrary to expectations, his heart became even more turbulent.
This is very different from the plot in the movie where the hero and heroine gain spiritual salvation after pouring out their hearts.
Chen Xi couldn’t help but sigh that the plots in the movie turned out to be lies!
Because he got up too early, he quickly fell asleep leaning against the window of the plane.
In the dream, Chen Xi saw another version of himself, sitting in front of the computer and typing on the keyboard, seemingly writing an article.
Neatly arranged text appeared on the screen, densely packed, and the content was as follows:
PS: When writing about the relationship between the protagonist and Zhao Lingshan, the author felt some emotional pressure.
Because Zhao Lingshan returned to China a few months ago, the author did not choose to meet her, nor did he find an opportunity to say the words in the article.
Maybe some words are difficult to say when you are young, but as time goes by, they may lose the opportunity to express them forever.
I have an indescribable feeling about this decision. I think it is a manifestation of avoidance and cowardice.
I have always considered myself a brave person, but when faced with this matter, I always chose to escape. Maybe it is because the current living situation is not satisfactory, and there is now a big gap between the two people's identities. There is some element of inferiority in it.
There will always be some regrets in life, and some things should be spoken out early when you are young.
I hope we can all face our own voices bravely and leave no regrets.
This may be like the lyrics in Jay Chou's "Can't Open My Mouth".
“I just can’t open my mouth to let her know
It’s just a few simple sentences that I can’t do...”
