Before the New Year holiday, Su Tiantian was tricked into returning home by a 200,000 yuan promise. The village distributing land money was real, but the desire to trick her into coming home early ...
The atmosphere on Su Tiantian's side was quite warm, but it was not so pleasant on the He brothers' side.
He Yiyuan's general manager's office.
He Yiyuan's face looked unhappy.
He Xinyu's face looked unhappy.
He Xinyu folded his arms over his chest, head held high, leaning back on the sofa, his face showing undisguised resentment: "He Yiyuan, General Manager He, I was entertained until after one in the morning, and didn't go to bed until after two after returning home. You woke me up at seven thirty to go to work. Don't you think that's excessive?"
At this time, He Xinyu was wearing a smoky gray shirt with two buttons undone at the collar, his sleeves casually rolled up to his elbows, and black trousers. It was obvious that he had not dressed up carefully, which did not match his usual refined and elegant personality. He looked tired.
He Yiyuan took a sip of the tea brewed by his secretary Shu Yuxin and sneered, "He Xinyu, Manager He, I told you not to be late, but you were still late and came into the company after 8 o'clock."
He Xinyu opened his eyes wide, trying to maintain his composure and said, "Didn't you say yesterday that the sales department staff had to rest late due to work and socializing, so they could come in later? When I received your call, I immediately asked Fang Dongheng to pick me up. I didn't even have breakfast. You're not going to deduct my salary or bonus, are you?"
Fang Dongheng, who was standing aside, said quickly: "Mr. He, Manager He will return to the company as soon as he receives your call."
He Yiyuan said, "I didn't have breakfast either. Secretary Luo, give Manager He a pair of chopsticks."
He Xinyu looked at the breakfast on the coffee table. There were several varieties, and judging from the portion, it was indeed enough for two people.
Luo Sisi said, "I see, Mr. He, there are oranges. How about I cut two?"
He Yiyuan said, "I think I only asked you to buy breakfast, not oranges."
Luo Sisi said, "That orange was given to me by Director Su."
He Yiyuan was a little confused: "Did Sister Tiantian give me oranges? Didn't she already prepare a Mid-Autumn Festival gift for me?"
Shu Yuxin couldn't help laughing, but when she saw several people looking at her, she quickly restrained her expression and said, "I'm sorry."
Luo Sisi turned her gaze to Peng Jianyue who was standing behind He Yiyuan.
He Yiyuan gave Peng Jianyue a cold look: "Ayue."
Peng Jianyue said expressionlessly, "I know Director Su brought so many oranges to the company because the people in the Finance Department were having afternoon tea, so I told Secretary Shu and Secretary Luo, and they both went. Director Su even asked them to take a lot of food back to the General Manager's Office."
He Yiyuan smiled and said, "You're making eating and taking things sound so refreshing and refined. Aren't you afraid she'll complain to Mr. Liu?"
Shu Yuxin whispered softly: "If she wants to complain, she will come to you first, right? After all, we are from the general manager's office."
He Yiyuan waved his hand: "Okay, she's not such a stingy person, and she's always had a good relationship with you. You all go out, the two of us brothers will have breakfast together and have a good chat."
Peng Jianyue, Shu Yuxin, and Luo Sisi immediately said, "Yes," and left the office.
Fang Dongheng also left the office at He Xinyu's nod.
He Xinyu was not polite either. He first drank a cup of tea, then picked up his chopsticks and started eating breakfast. He was really hungry because he had a social event last night and drank more than ate.
He Yiyuan was also concentrating on eating breakfast, and it seemed that he wanted to eat more when he was unhappy.
When they were almost done eating, He Yiyuan put down his chopsticks, picked up the teapot to pour tea, and also poured tea into He Xinyu's cup.
He Yiyu also put down his chopsticks. After breakfast, he felt less tired. His demeanor became relaxed. He leaned back on the sofa, his deep voice still pleasant to the touch. "Tell me, what do you want from me?"
He Yiyuan has fair skin and a fat face. You can clearly see that there is blue under his eyes, and it is obvious that he did not get enough rest.
He Yiyuan's expression darkened completely. His usually cute face became tense and serious. "Shouldn't you tell me about Cai Bifei's matter?"
He Xinyu carefully observed He Yiyuan's expression and said cautiously, "What do you want me to say, or what do you know?"
He Yiyuan said in a cold tone: "Cai Bifei is not only our company's business rival, but also Jiang Sihui's ex-boyfriend."
He Xinyu wasn't surprised. "I told Su Tiantian to tell Liu Jingze that the person who spoke to me was Cai Bifei. Su Tiantian will definitely say that Liu Jingze and Jiang Sihui are like siblings, so why wouldn't she tell her? It's only natural for Jiang Sihui to be honest with you. After all, she just mistook a scumbag for a treasure when she was young."
Belated anger filled He Yiyuan's chest. He said angrily, "I feel so bad for Ah Hui. She was hurt by such a man. I couldn't sleep last night. She told me that when she was young, she lacked experience, had limited knowledge, and knew too few people. Now she wants to teach this man who deceived her a lesson."
He Xinyu's eyes also turned cold. "This guy really needs to be taught a lesson. He escaped unscathed back then, but left the shame to Ah Hui and me."
He Yiyuan scoffed without hesitation, "Didn't you always side with Situ Mingyan back then? Even if she stole Jiang Sihui's boyfriend, you wouldn't have broken off the engagement with her if she hadn't been pregnant. After all, who wants to be a stepfather? What's even more ridiculous is that you're still with her now? So, how does it feel to have this cuckold reappear?"
He Xinyu wasn't angry at all. Instead, he smiled and said, "He Yiyuan, why do you think I came to this small southern town to work? Why did I pursue Jiang Sihui? And why did Situ Mingyan try so hard to make things fait accompli with you? It's a pity she failed."
He Yiyuan remained silent, but when he mentioned Jiang Sihui, his eyes flickered, and when he mentioned Situ Mingyan, his eyes became cold.
He Xinyu continued, "Because I don't want to marry Situ Mingyan. I like clean women. I can accept a woman having a boyfriend before marriage, but I can't accept a woman who got pregnant by her ex-boyfriend and then had a miscarriage. What's more, this woman cheated on me while we were engaged. What's that ex-boyfriend? She should be called the person she cheated on with."
He Yiyuan looked at He Xinyu in disbelief and said, "Since you don't want to marry Situ Mingyan, why did you get engaged to her a second time? Don't tell me you've finally come to your senses now."
He Xinyu smiled bitterly. "What do you mean by waking up? He Yiyuan, I'm not you. Uncle respects your opinion, but my father doesn't respect mine. He only cares about profit. He doesn't care about my happiness. The Situ family isn't as prosperous as it used to be, but my father hasn't found a more suitable marriage partner."
He Xinyu stood up and walked towards the large French window, gazing at the brilliantly blossoming phoenix flowers outside. His expression seemed even more desolate. Even the sunlight shining on him couldn't dispel the gloom that lingered within him.
He Yiyuan also stood up and walked towards the large floor-to-ceiling window. It was not working hours, so there were not many people on the road in the industrial area, but there were still many delivery trucks.
He Xinyu laughed awkwardly: "Yi Yi, am I ridiculous? Why should I compete with you? My father couldn't compete with your father, he didn't accept his fate. I can't compete with you, so I accept my fate."
