Chapter 31 One step too late
When Li Jinxi arrived at the resort, holding the photos on her phone, she kept asking the staff about Lan Yaoxia. After a lot of inquiries, the answer she got was that Lan Yaoxia had already left.
Faced with such a result, Li Jinxi did not stay for too long. Then, with an extremely heavy heart, he slowly drove away from the place.
As soon as he returned to the company, he ran into Rao Jie who was asking about his whereabouts at the front desk in the lobby.
Rao Jie was stunned for a moment when she saw Li Jinxi, who looked tired and lonely, but then she came to her senses and said, "Mr. Li, have you thought about it? I have always carried the agreement with me. If you decide to sign it, you can do so anytime now."
However, Li Jinxi only glanced at Rao Jie indifferently, and then turned away without any regrets. After returning to the office, he seemed to have lost all his strength, and he collapsed on the chair.
He reached out and gently rubbed his temples, trying to ease the restlessness and depression in his heart.
Not long after, there was a crisp knock on the door. Li Jinxi responded impatiently, "Come in!"
The door opened and Gu Yannian walked in. He immediately noticed Li Jinxi, who looked exhausted, and asked with concern, "Jinxi, what's wrong with you? Why do you look so haggard?"
Li Jinxi waved her hand gently and said in a cold tone: "Nothing, what do you want from me?"
Gu Yannian stared at Li Jinxi and noticed the obvious impatience on her face, but he still maintained a gentle voice and replied: "I successfully negotiated another important project today. I would like to invite you to have lunch with me at noon. What would you like to eat? The location is up to you."
However, at this moment, Li Jinxi was upset and distressed about Lan Yaoxia's affairs and had no time to care about anything else.
So, she refused without hesitation: "Sorry, I have a lot of things to deal with right now, and I really can't adjust the time."
Hearing Li Jinxi's decisive refusal, Gu Yannian couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, but he quickly adjusted his attitude, smiled brightly again and said, "It's okay, we can have dinner together again when you are free."
"That's it, then. If there's nothing else, you can leave first." Before Gu Yannian could say another word, Li Jinxi unceremoniously ordered him to leave.
Faced with this sudden order to expel him, although Gu Yannian was reluctant and unwilling, he had no choice but to turn around and leave silently, slowly stepping out of the office door.
The assistant hurried in and said, "Mr. Li, there is an emergency meeting that requires your immediate attendance." Li Jinxi sighed helplessly and replied, "Okay, let's go now."
At this moment, on the highway, Lan Yaoxia was driving the car attentively, while Yao Jingyun and Lin Yunzhu, who were sitting in the back seat, were whispering something.
Du Yujie, who was sitting in the passenger seat, had already fallen into a deep sleep due to being too tired from playing last night, and his snoring could be heard from time to time.
Lin Yunzhu was the one who proposed this trip. When she said she wanted to go to the beach, everyone agreed. Li Keyi volunteered and chose the destination - Haijingwei. As we all know, Haijingwei is famous for its charming beaches and beautiful scenery.
Du Yujie was so excited when he heard the news that he could not express it in words. Images of the sea, the beach, the beauties and the bikinis kept appearing in his mind, and he was so excited.
It happened that this place was not far away, so after breakfast, everyone set out on the journey with great interest.
A total of five cars were dispatched, with more than twenty people on board, but among them were only three men, including Lan Yaoxia.
After a long journey, I finally arrived at my long-awaited destination.
Everyone rushed to the hotel to check in without stopping, and after a short rest, they couldn't wait to change their clothes. Lan Yaoxia and others chose comfortable casual clothes, but the girls were ingenious and put on hot and sultry bikinis, instantly becoming a beautiful scenery.
Du Yujie and Li Keyi stared at this group of sexy beauties intently, their eyes revealing unconcealable excitement and anticipation.
Lan Yaoxia rented a luxury cruise ship. After everyone got on board in an orderly manner, Li Keyi started the engine with ease, and the boat sailed away from the shore as quickly as an arrow.
As dynamic music sounded, bottle of wine was opened one after another, and everyone drank and had fun to their heart's content, having a great time.
However, at this moment, Lan Yaoxia sat quietly in a corner, as if the surrounding noise had nothing to do with him. Lin Yunzhu and Yao Jingyun also seemed to feel that they could not fully integrate into this warm and cheerful atmosphere, so they moved to sit next to Lan Yaoxia.
Lin Yunzhu held a wine glass in her hand, looked at Lan Yaoxia with a slightly puzzled look, and asked softly: "Boss, we are all here, and there are so many beautiful women here, but why do I feel that you seem a little unhappy?"
Lan Yaoxia gently shook the wine glass in her hand, a helpless smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she replied: "Nothing special, I'm just feeling a little depressed. But why did you suddenly come to me?"
Lin Yunzhu winked mischievously and said jokingly, "Hehe, I just saw that you were too lonely, so I came here to accompany you!"
Yao Jingyun, who was standing by, also nodded, indicating that he agreed with Lin Yunzhu's statement. He seemed to want to eat some melons, and asked Lan Yaoxia with concern: "Mr. Lan, it seems that you have something on your mind. I wonder if you can share it with us?"
Lan Yaoxia drank a sip of wine silently, put down the glass, turned to look at Yao Jingyun, and said slowly: "I saw you drinking to relieve your sorrow that day, could it be that you also have something bothering you?"
Hearing this, Yao Jingyun was slightly startled, but soon regained her composure. She sighed and replied, "That's right. That's why I wanted to find my best friend to play with, hoping to dispel the boredom in my heart."
Lin Yunzhu immediately became interested and couldn't wait to ask: "Boss, what kind of troubles are you so distressed? Why don't you tell me about it? Maybe I can help you analyze it!"
However, Lan Yaoxia was silent for a moment, and after thinking for a long time, he finally decided to bury this worry deep in his heart and not to reveal it easily. He waved his hand and tried to change the subject: "You won't understand. Today is sunny and the weather is pleasant. Finally, I feel less depressed and depressed."
