Gently bite the jasmine

Chapter 258 Extra 2

Lin Xi knocked on the door of Director Xu Yu's office. Xu Yu turned around and met Lin Xi's gaze.

She stood there awkwardly, stunned. Lin Xi waved her hand and said, "Tell him I'm fine and not to worry. I just wanted to see who his informant is."

Lin Xi's voice came through the phone clearly, and Xu Yu heard Duan Yiheng laugh.

She hung up the phone and gave Lin Xi an awkward smile.

Despite being her superior, Lin Xi simply waved her hand and said, "I came along to tell you I'm fine. I'll take the people to the scenic area myself."

Xu Yu nodded: "Okay, then go ahead."

Lin Xi laughed it off, pretending it didn't exist.

She took two people with her when she left the office.

"Team Leader Tian, ​​have you contacted the scenic area's operations manager?" Lin Xi asked the driver who had been trying to curry favor with her.

Team Leader Tian: "I've already contacted them, and we arranged to meet at 10:30."

Lin Xi: "We'll be staying there all day. I'll treat you to lunch. Any restaurant except those that require reservations is fine."

The two people in the car cheered and then flattered him for a while.

Upon arriving at the scenic area, the operations manager led Lin Xi and the others to the management office.

The manager introduced the ticketing system to her, and Lin Xi took notes and asked related questions about ticketing.

The morning passed quickly, and she took the project team to a well-known restaurant nearby, which was, of course, quite expensive.

During this time, Duan Yiheng called and learned that she would be conducting an on-site inspection of the scenic area in the afternoon. He gave her many instructions over and over again.

After being out in the sun all day, Lin Xi felt dizzy when she got home.

Sister Mei thoughtfully brought over some mung bean soup, saying with a smile, "I prepared this especially for you."

"Thank you," Lin Xi said sweetly.

No sooner had he finished speaking than Duan Yiheng entered the living room and asked, "What are you thanking me for?"

"Why are you back so early?" Lin Xi put down the mung bean soup in her hand and went to greet her. "That's great. Help me take a look at the report later."

Duan Yiheng laughed in exasperation: "I came all the way back to have dinner with you, and you want me to work overtime with you?"

Lin Xi grabbed his arm and shook it: "Once the scenic area project is secured, I'll have dinner with you every day."

"You're just trying to fool me." Duan Yiheng wasn't falling for it.

"Then tell me, what do you want?" Lin Xi asked generously.

Duan Yiheng put his arm around her and led her to sit down in the living room. He served her a bowl of mung bean soup and said, "After the project is finished, you should meet with the villa renovation designer. We'll go stay at Tiandu Yuxi for a while."

Lin Xi was taken aback: "Me? What about you?"

Duan Yiheng smiled and said, "I'll go with you, but as the future mistress of this villa, I'll naturally respect your opinion. If there are any flowers, plants, or trees in the yard that you don't like, just have them dug up and new ones planted."

Lin Xi immediately made up his mind and said, "Let's plant magnolias."

"Okay." Duan Yiheng fed her a sip of soup. "The fabric I brought back from the south is suitable for making cheongsams. The moon white color goes well with magnolias, so I'll embroider magnolias on it. I'll take a picture of you under the magnolia tree using that old camera you gave me."

Lin Xi smiled sweetly at Duan Yiheng, her words filled with sweetness: "You're quite romantic."

Duan Yiheng: "It depends on the person. At least you're the first person to say that to me."

With Sister Mei still around, Lin Xi felt too embarrassed to be affectionate, so she secretly tugged at the hem of Duan Yiheng's suit jacket.

Duan Yiheng liked her occasional little gestures of dependence, but he didn't call her out on it, treating it as a bit of fun.

After dinner, Lin Xi pushed Duan Yiheng into the study.

Duan Yiheng's abilities are beyond doubt. Lin Xi learned from Xu Yu during the day and from Duan Yiheng at night, and they almost perfected the project of a scenic spot.

After several face-to-face discussions, Lin Xi and his technical team meticulously designed a solution.

The solution is naturally optimized to meet the needs of the scenic area, incorporating various more convenient functions.

A month later, with the bidding period approaching, Xu Yu handed everything over to Lin Xi this time, and Lin Xi was also the one who gave the bidding presentation on that day.

This was Lin Xi's first project handled independently, and also her first time presenting on stage.

Lin Xi was a little nervous. Xu Yu told her, "Your hard work will make you more at ease on stage. Trust me, and trust yourself."

Lin Xi was a little excited, thinking of how she and the project team had been working day and night. No matter what, she couldn't let them down.

Before going on stage, Lin Xi's phone rang.

It was Duan Yiheng calling. Lin Xi's tense heart calmed down a little. Duan Yiheng's gentle voice came through the receiver: "Nervous?"

"Ah."

"Take two deep breaths before you go on stage. Think about all the preparation and effort you've put in over the past month. I've been overseeing the project, so there won't be any problems, okay?"

Duan Yiheng started from the project level, and upon hearing this, Lin Xi felt a surge of unstoppable pride.

"it is good."

It was Lin Xi's turn to go on stage, not at the beginning or the end, but in the middle.

To be honest, the judges are a bit tired right now, it's a bit like an interview.

But Lin Xi's appearance does give people a refreshing feeling.

After greeting everyone, she got straight to the point, her expression remaining largely unchanged, a confident smile playing on her lips.

Lin Xi's voice was clear and powerful, and his explanations were professional. When he talked about the ticketing system and financial services, he pointed out the innovative aspects in every detail.

He raised his head and nodded repeatedly.

The explanation lasted only a dozen minutes, but Lin Xi became more and more composed as he spoke, highlighting the other party's needs and emphasizing his own technical advantages.

After it was over, she breathed a huge sigh of relief.

Xu Yu patted her shoulder: "Not bad."

Lin Xi asked her, "Do you think you'll win the bid?"

Xu Yu said, "Don't think about these things. Take a few days off first, and we'll let you know when the time comes."

Lin Xi nodded: "I've already told them we're going out for dinner tonight. Director Xu, please come along."

"Okay," Xu Yu said. "Do you want to call General Manager Duan over?"

Lin Xi refused outright: "No need. If he comes, who will be able to have fun?"

Xu Yu: "That's true."

That evening, the project team chose a specialty restaurant for their dinner.

People kept coming to toast Lin Xi. Xu Yu saw that Lin Xi's face was flushed and laughed, "You all act like monkeys when you're not in the company. When your boss Duan comes to pick up Manager Lin later, if you get Manager Lin drunk, see how he deals with you."

"Director, what are you saying? Who would dare to force Manager Lin to drink? Isn't this a cause for celebration?"

Lin Xi immediately spoke up for them: "It's alright, I only drank a little, it just made my face flush."

Lin Xi hadn't drunk alcohol for a long time due to his injuries, and in his excitement, he accidentally drank too much.

However, she was still clear-headed.

After a few rounds of drinks, someone suggested changing the venue, but Lin Xi waved her hand and said, "I won't go, otherwise President Duan will have something to say."

The private room erupted in laughter. Xu Yu glanced at her helplessly; she was truly drunk now.

"Manager Lin, could you tell us what President Duan's opinion is?"

Lin Xi thought for a moment, and before he could answer, the door to the private room was opened.

Lin Xi is friendly, and everyone dares to joke with her, but when facing Duan Yiheng, everyone becomes timid.

Lin Xi caught a glimpse of a familiar figure out of the corner of her eye and pointed, "President Duan is here. Ask him."
