After Zhou Yanchen returned home, he seemed to be wrapped in endless fatigue, but he tossed and turned in bed and couldn't sleep.
Time flies, and five years have passed.
But every night of these five years was a long torment for me.
Ever since the day I knew Shen Qingli had left Beijing, I have been completely cut off from a peaceful sleep.
In 놛's world, there is only endless insomnia and regret for the past.
Zhou Yanchen finally couldn't stand the surging thoughts anymore, so he got out of bed and went downstairs.
She stood quietly in front of the wine cabinet, her slender fingers gently slid across a bottle of wine, then picked it up together with a glass and slowly walked upstairs.
I came to the chair on the balcony and sat down. I looked up at the night sky dotted with only a few stars, my eyes full of complicated emotions.
He picked up a cigarette from the small round table beside him and lit it. The faint light flickered in the dark night.
Over a thousand days and nights, too much of the time was spent sitting alone on this balcony.
Once, I was so sure that Shen Qingli would never ask for a divorce from me, after all, she forced their marriage.
But the next day when she came back, she was greeted with a cold divorce agreement.
At that time, there was still a glimmer of hope in my heart, thinking that even if I got divorced, I would have the opportunity to remarry in the future.
But I never expected that Shen Qingli would be so decisive. She didn't even give me the slightest chance and just disappeared completely from my world, as if she had never appeared.
Just when Zhou Yanchen was deeply immersed in his own tangled thoughts and couldn't extricate himself, his cell phone rang suddenly. It was a call from Chang You.
놛 picked up the phone and put it to his ear, and the familiar words came into his ears again: "Boss, there is no news about Dr. Shen in the hotel. The hotel surveillance was under maintenance that day and there was no record."
Zhou Yanchen's eyes flashed with a hint of gloom, and he replied softly, "I know."
Afterwards, 놛 slowly put down his phone and took a deep breath of the cigarette in his hand. As the smoke lingered, his face looked more haggard.
Perhaps, this is the punishment that we deserve.
I didn't know how to cherish myself in the past, and now I can only struggle in regret and longing.
…
The next day
Pei Yike was woken up by the annoying alarm clock early in the morning. She was sleepy and reluctant. She reached out and pulled the quilt to cover her head, trying to meet Zhou Gong again.
But not long after, she suddenly opened her eyes as if awakened by something, and the thought of going to Fengxing Media today flashed through her mind.
She quickly got up from the bed and walked quickly to the bathroom with her hair in a mess.
Today is an important day for her. It is her first time going to Fengxing, so she must not be late.
Pei Yike carefully painted a delicate makeup for herself.
Beijing is about to enter autumn, and the temperature in the early morning is a little cool. She carefully selected in front of the wardrobe and finally chose a Chanel-style suit. She looked elegant and capable.
As time was tight, she didn't even have time to have breakfast and drove directly to Fengxing Media.
While waiting for the elevator, she heard the crisp sound of high heels from behind her. She turned around subconsciously, but this one look made her originally good mood disappear in an instant.
He secretly regretted that he must have forgotten to check the almanac before going out today, otherwise how could he have met the person he disliked the most, Su Xinyao, so early in the morning.
Su Xinyao was seen walking towards us slowly with her arms folded across her chest, looking elegant yet a little arrogant, accompanied by her agent Qin 뀑.
After Su Xinyao approached, she looked at Pei Yike wantonly, her eyes full of disdain.
She has dominated the popular media for many years and has already secured her position as the leading actress. She has never taken these newcomers seriously.
Pei Yike had no intention of greeting her, but Qin Yu, as an experienced agent, saw at a glance the hidden potential in Pei Yike, which was clearly a good seedling.
Qin took the initiative to ask, "Miss, are you looking for new artists to sign with Fengxing?"
Pei Yike glanced at Qin who was speaking. She knew that she was Su Xinyao's agent and a powerful figure who should not be underestimated. She simply responded, "Yeah."
Seeing her so cold, Su Xinyao and Qin Bo just said "hmm", and were extremely dissatisfied with her perfunctory attitude.
But after all, it's not good to show too much in public.
At this moment, the elevator door slowly opened, and Pei Yike stepped into the elevator first without any hesitation.
Seeing that Su Xinyao and Qin Bo had not come in, she asked politely, "Aren't you leaving? Then I'll go up first."
She just pressed the elevator door closing button.
Su Xinyao looked at the closed elevator door, her expression suddenly turned ugly, and she snorted coldly, "Sister Bi, who is she? She doesn't know the rules."
Qin 뀑 shook his head slightly, "I'm not sure, I'll check it out later."
Few people in Beijing know Pei Yike's true identity. Although everyone knows that the Pei family has a little daughter, very few people have ever seen her true face.
And Pei Yike has always adhered to his own principles. He never relied on his family background. No matter what he did, he relied on his own efforts.
Even though she was popular, she did not let her family reveal her identity.
Pei Yike came to the top floor and, under the guidance of the staff, went directly into He Lin's office.
He Lin was very satisfied when he saw Pei Yike for the first time.
After a brief chat, I was ready to sign her.
Pei Yike was still in a daze, and it took her a long time to come back to her senses, "Mr. He, are you really going to sign me?"
"Of course, the contract has been drafted and we are waiting for you to sign it."
Pei Yike quickly stood up and bowed to express his gratitude, "Thank you, President He. I will definitely work hard in the future."
After signing the contract, He Lin said openly: "How about I arrange for Qin Bo to take you?"
Pei Yike immediately shook his head like a wave drum when he heard this, "Boss He, Qin Jingji is such a powerful person, it's a bit of a waste of talent to bring a nobody like me with him."
"Can I bring my own agent?"
Pei Yi was afraid that He Lin would disagree, so he added, "She is very capable and will definitely bring benefits to the company soon."
Seeing her say this, He Lin nodded, "Okay."
…
After the meeting, Zhou Yanchen opened the office door and saw Mr. Zhou sitting on the sofa.
"Grandpa, why are you here?"
"Why am I here? Didn't I say I would take you to the hospital yesterday?"
"Don't waste time, just follow me."
Zhou Yanchen wanted to say that he was not sick, but seeing how Old Man Zhou looked, it seemed that if he didn't go today, he might really have someone take him to the hospital.
놛 could only compromise, "Okay, I'll go, I'll sign some documents and then leave."
Yesterday, Shen Jinxi was too excited playing in the amusement park. She sweated and caught a cold, and she started to have a fever intermittently in the second half of the night.
Shen Qingli tried many methods but still failed to reduce Shen Jinxi's fever.
There was no other choice but to take Shen Jinxi to the hospital to get medicine.
