Sixty-nine stars
Before we knew it, it was already April.
As it was almost time to get off work, the door of Lin Tang’s office was suddenly opened.
Seeing that it was a response, she looked away without being surprised and sorted out the relevant information on the computer.
But Ying Yu was very excited. He grinned and quickly walked over to sit across from Lin Tang, his words revealing his excitement and shock: "Oh my god, boss, you've become the boss lady of Luochen Group!"
Hearing this, Lin Tang was stunned for a moment and didn't react immediately: "What?"
Ying Yu frowned immediately: "The news has already broken out, don't tell me you didn't know about it."
But seeing that Lin Tang was not joking with him, he hurriedly flipped through the news, as if he was more eager to let her know than she was.
He displayed the interface in front of Lin Tang and explained, "This afternoon, the Feng family publicly announced that, with the unanimous decision of the group's board of directors, Mr. Xiao Feng has been selected as the heir to the group. Now, all shares under Mr. Feng's name have been transferred to Mr. Xiao Feng."
Lin Tang's breathing became irregular for a moment. Even though she had learned the general idea of the matter from him, her eyes were still fixed on the screen, and she dragged her fingers up and down to check the news content.
At the bottom of the report, there was a live broadcast link, and she clicked on it without hesitation.
The moment the jump was successful, several familiar figures appeared on the screen.
The Luochen Group handover press conference continued. Feng Chibai, dressed in a neat, light brown suit, said graciously, "I'm very grateful for the trust the board has placed in me, and I'm also very grateful for the help everyone has given me."
He paused, then continued, "Including my wife."
He looked straight into the camera, through the lens, as if he was looking right into her eyes.
It was as if a stone was thrown into Lin Tang's heart, causing ripples and making her unable to calm down for a long time.
But Ying Yu didn't notice Lin Tang's abnormality. His eyes were still fixed on the screen as he said happily, "Boss, it's so prestigious to be associated with you."
This voice finally brought Lin Tang back to her senses. She quickly looked away and muttered, "What does this have to do with me? I've thanked so many people, so I might as well thank my own efforts."
Ying Yu pursed his lips, but decided to speak up for Feng Chibai: "Our President Feng is a humble person."
Although it is said that two different people cannot sleep in the same bed, but from his impression, Feng Chibai's personality is indeed very different from Lin Tang's. After all, he can't forget the scene when Feng Chibai was given the cold shoulder by Lin Tang in public but he was still happy.
But just as he finished speaking, a voice came from the screen: "Of course, I also thank you for your recognition of my abilities."
Ying Yu was speechless for a moment and said awkwardly: "...I don't want to chat with you two anymore."
After he went out, Lin Tang stayed in the live broadcast room for a while with his mobile phone.
He felt a strange sense of emotion. After all, he had made so many preparations for this day, and even when he was targeted many times, he had endured it silently.
Now that he has gotten what he wanted and got his mother's shares back, he should be very happy.
Although it had nothing to do with her, she seemed inexplicably happy for him.
She picked up her phone and wanted to send him a blessing message, just as he had seen her do on the screen.
But after typing the next line, she thought about it and deleted it all.
We'll be meeting soon, so it's better to talk in person.
As dusk fell, Feng Chibai appeared at the door of the research institute as expected.
Lin Tang saw him the moment she stepped out of the door. He was still wearing the same suit he wore during the live broadcast, standing straight in the same spot, staring at her without concealing his gaze.
When she came closer, he took the bag from her hand and said softly, "You look happy?"
"I'm probably not as happy as you." She replied, "Well, it seems I can't call you Xiao Feng anymore this time. After all, the word 'Xiao' doesn't quite suit you."
Feng Chibai's eyebrows curved: "Did you see it?"
Lin Tang joked, "It's such a commotion, it's hard not to see it."
The two suddenly smiled at each other. When the laughter stopped, Lin Tang said seriously, "Feng Chibai, congratulations, you got what you wanted."
Feng Chibai's eyelashes trembled, and as something flashed through his mind, his smile suddenly faded a little: "Is that all you have to say?"
Lin Tang asked in confusion, "Is there anything else?"
She didn't know if it was her illusion, but she vaguely felt that he breathed a sigh of relief, and then he said, "Nothing, I have nothing to do, so I tricked you."
She frowned: "What are you trying to trick me about?"
"Let's see if you can come up with some nonsense by being stubborn." He replied naturally.
Lin Tang pursed his lips. Although what he said was indeed what he would do, he still wanted to refute: "I'm not that boring."
Thinking of his reaction just now, she still asked again worriedly: "But, are you really okay?"
Feng Chibai did not answer directly, but asked: "It seems that you really hope something will happen?"
The next second, Lin Tang covered her mouth, and she could only hear her say word by word: "Avoid the prophecy."
After getting in the car and stopping at a red light, Lin Tang suddenly noticed a flower shop not far ahead. She looked at Feng Chibai and asked, "Is that bouquet of flowers at home about to wither?"
Feng Chibai didn't say anything immediately. He followed her gaze and then said to the driver slowly, "Stop at the flower shop ahead."
The driver nodded in response.
This flower shop is the only one in the area and has a wide variety of flowers. They came at the perfect time because a new batch of fresh flowers had just arrived and the owner was still cutting and arranging them.
Not wanting to disturb the boss, the two of them just went about their business in the store. Lin Tang stopped at a spot where a flower that looked like a rose, but had a very unique color, was placed in front of the glass window.
The middle is pure white, but as it moves towards the edge, it seems to have a halo of its own, and a very light pink-purple color gradually spreads out, which makes people feel amazing at first sight.
Lin Tang was stunned for a moment, then suddenly smiled: "This flower is quite magical, like the aurora."
Before they knew it, the boss had already walked over to the two of them. After hearing about Lin Tang's flowers, he smiled and introduced them to Lin Tang, "This is the Aurora rose, also known as the Northern Lights rose. It's very special. If you shine a light on it in the dark, it feels like it's glowing."
Lin Tang glanced at Feng Chibai. After understanding what she meant, Feng Chibai said to the boss, "Please help us pack it up."
After returning to the car, Lin Tang had a bouquet of flowers in his hand.
She leaned in and sniffed, discovering a refreshing floral scent that wasn't overpowering. Suddenly intrigued, she smiled and asked Feng Chibai, "Guess what its meaning is?"
Feng Chibai met her gaze, a smile in his eyes. He pretended to think for a moment, then said word by word, "The Northern Lights and I will both appear before dawn."
Lin Tang's heart trembled. She didn't actually know what the flower meant, she just asked because it occurred to her. She looked away, her fingers tapping on the screen of her phone. Soon, the correct answer appeared. It was exactly the same as what he had said.
She breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "Boss Feng is so omnipotent, he wouldn't search secretly behind my back, would he?"
Feng Chibai nodded frankly. He had already started doing his homework when she expressed her interest in the bouquet.
Lin Tang glanced sideways and asked without reason, "Have you ever seen the aurora?"
"Are you inviting me?" Feng Chibai asked back.
"You can't see the aurora in Country C," she replied, "but if you want, I can take some pictures for you when I have the chance."
Feng Chibai keenly caught the key words in her words: "You want to go abroad?"
Lin Tang raised his eyebrows: "Keep it secret."
When it comes to work matters, they are not comfortable revealing too much.
But when he saw her mysterious expression as always, his idea was suddenly dispelled. He just thought she was going to make him a projectable aurora, just like she did on his birthday.
After returning home, Lin Tang changed his shoes and walked to the vase with the flowers in his arms.
She took down the branches that had begun to turn yellow, and skillfully pruned and arranged the newly bought bouquet of Aurora roses. The whole process was done in one go.
Because she had bought so many bundles and changed them several times, she was already familiar with these processes.
After she finished, she shouted in Feng Chibai's direction: "Feng Chibai, turn off the light."
Feng Chibai immediately understood her thoughts. He followed her instructions and came to her side, where she had already turned on the flashlight on her phone and pointed it at her flower heart.
It’s just that the light from the phone is warm in tone, which doesn’t match the color of the petals, and can’t achieve the effect that the boss said.
She blinked thoughtfully and asked, "Is there a flashlight at home?"
"There's no flashlight." Feng Chibai paused, then smiled and said, "There is one that can illuminate the area."
But he didn't say it explicitly, and walked off in one direction. When he came back, he had a star projector in his hand.
The moment the switch was turned on, just like on their birthday, the quadrant appeared before their eyes, and silvery-white light instantly enveloped them.
The next day, he took that precious gift, copied the data inside, and stored it in the current star projector. It turned out that he had foresight.
Under the cold halo, the Aurora in the vase glowed with obvious pearlescent light, and the pink and purple halo spread from the edge to the center of the flower, as if it was its innate brilliance.
The stars on the ceiling are flowing, and the aurora in front of my eyes is blooming.
Lin Tang turned around, leaning against the edge of the table behind him, smiling brightly: "Feng Chibai, does this mean that even if I invite you to see the aurora, you can touch the aurora."
She was standing at the edge of Aurora, the curtains behind her not tightly closed. The sun was about to set outside the window, and the evening light was like the dawn, filtering in bits and pieces.
It seems to confirm the meaning of flowers.
But she was the only one he could see.
"I hope..." He looked at her, paused, and then said, "You can bring me a more real aurora."
Lin Tang hummed in thought and said with a smile, "It's hard to catch them at this time."
The next second, she heard a firm voice.
"I can wait."
