Chapter 20: The Vain Male Wife of the Domineering Boss
Despite what the Third Master Cao said, Qiu Qingrong still did not agree. He did not want to have anything to do with this matter.
I thought Cao San was going to try to persuade him a little more, but I saw Cao San looking behind him, and his expression instantly became very honest, even more serious than when he met his father.
Qiu Qingrong's heart skipped a beat and he turned around to see Mingyao sitting in a wheelchair and looking at them.
He felt somewhat relieved, although he didn't know how much Mingyao heard. Fortunately, he didn't say anything nonsense and rejected Cao San's request.
Mingyao didn't say anything, just glanced at them and left.
There wasn't even any anger in those eyes, only a cold look of condescension, reminding him of the gap between them.
Qiu Qingrong had mixed feelings. In terms of age, he was even older than Mingyao, and the gap between them made him feel unwilling.
The indifferent dude standing by obviously didn't have the same complicated mental journey as him. He breathed a sigh of relief after Mingyao left and even patted his chest exaggeratedly.
"How scary! It's obviously a... Why is he still so intimidating?"
Cao San has always been outspoken, but when he told Ming Yao that he was a cripple, he still didn't dare to speak loudly and could only mumble vaguely.
"If you want the contact information, go get it yourself. I won't help you."
Qiu Qingrong not only wanted to distance himself from the matter, but also wanted to wait and see.
Mr. Cao San said helplessly: "Okay, then I will go by myself."
Mingyao wasn’t actually sure whether they were discussing Lin Zhi, but regardless of whether they were or not, he didn’t want to listen any further; it was disgusting.
But they did remind him that Lin Zhi did not have a ring on her hand that indicated she was married.
Mingyao looked at her fingers, which also had no decorations, and pursed her lips.
He did not prepare a wedding ring. He had already signed a contract with Lin Zhi before registering their marriage.
They were a contractual couple and had no feelings for each other. At that time, he thought they would not develop any feelings.
Because it was a secret marriage, they had no wedding and no rings.
Do you want to take Lin Zhi to pick out a ring?
But wouldn’t the existing finished products be unique enough? Lin Zhi would probably prefer them if they were customized?
Would it be better to create a surprise and wait until the finished product appears before putting the ring on Lin Zhi's finger?
Many ideas flashed through Mingyao's mind, what kind of diamond, what kind of design... When others came to talk to him, he answered them at the same time, and no one could tell that he was thinking about the wedding ring.
In the meeting room, Lin Zhi was chatting with Ji Shuangcheng.
Although Ji Shuangcheng is a businessman from outside the area, he has already started cooperation with Qiming and has met many local businessmen together with boss Qiming.
He had already seen Mingyao and Lin Zhi standing next to Mingyao, but he did not greet them immediately. Instead, he waited until Lin Zhi was free before coming over to say hello.
Ji Shuangcheng took the initiative to talk about his cooperation with Qiming. Lin Zhi listened with great interest and responded from time to time.
"The land in the east of the city? Although it's a bit far, transportation is still convenient."
“Yes, the surrounding area is a bit desolate, but I am optimistic about the development potential here.”
Ji Shuangcheng likes chatting with Lin Zhi very much, whether it is about art or business. After chatting with Lin Zhi a few times, he knew why Hu Tong liked his friend so much and seemed so embarrassed when he made an excuse to invite Lin Zhi.
Because you can get a good emotional response when chatting with Lin Zhi, no matter what you say, he seems to be able to accurately grasp the point you want to express. This is a person who will not get angry even if you know he may be insincere, Ji Shuangcheng also wants to make friends with him.
Just when they were chatting happily, a voice interrupted them.
"Excuse me, this is my business card. I was wondering if I could exchange contact information with you."
Cao San walked to Lin Zhi with a glass of wine and handed him his business card.
He had a vacant position in his father's company, but he still looked good on the surface.
Out of politeness, Lin Zhi gave him his business card.
He glanced at the name on the business card and removed this person from his social list. No matter from which point of view, there was no need for him to communicate with this person.
Third Master Cao thought there was something going on, so he put on his specially practiced handsome smile and asked, "Are you free later? Can I invite you to have a drink with me?"
Ji Shuangcheng glanced at the man and felt speechless.
Although he didn't know this person, he could tell that he was a playboy from some wealthy family, and his hunting attitude was too obvious.
Lin Zhi refused directly: "Sorry, I don't have time."
However, Mr. Cao San was not someone who would back down when faced with difficulties. He was always thick-skinned in front of beauties and would smile even when rejected.
"Then make an appointment with me whenever you have time. I'll be waiting for your call anytime."
After saying that, he left with Lin Zhi's business card, obviously in a very good mood.
Ji Shuangcheng tried to hold back, but still couldn't help but ask, "Who is this person?"
"unimportant."
Lin Zhi folded the business card he gave her in half and threw it into the sculpture-shaped trash can nearby.
For Yu Linzhi and Ji Shuangcheng, this was just an insignificant episode and not worth remembering.
However, this scene was seen by Mingyao. In front of him was Mr. Cao, who was smiling and ready to cooperate with him further.
Mingyao looked at him talking and said, "I don't think we need to continue our cooperation."
Mr. Cao's smile froze on his face, and he suspected that he had heard it wrong.
"I will have someone cancel the work that was previously carried out tomorrow. Our company will pay the corresponding liquidated damages, and we will no longer cooperate with your company on that project."
The people around were also a little surprised when they heard it, but some of them became more alert.
The pie is so small. If someone is kicked out, won’t other partner companies be able to take over?
"Excuse me, Mr. Ming, can you explain the reason? Is it because our planning was not good enough or there is a problem somewhere?"
Mr. Cao asked somewhat frustratedly, how much can he earn once this business is done, how can this cooked duck fly away.
"There's nothing wrong with that. It might be better if you could put some of that energy into your child's education."
Ming Yao stopped talking here and left the area.
The news that Mingyao and the Cao family terminated the contract on the spot spread in the small circle of the venue in a short time. Many people didn't care why, they only cared that their opportunity might have come.
Lin Zhi naturally also knew the news. As the male companion attending the event, he immediately came to Mingyao and helped him deal with various inquiries from the boss.
Lin Zhi just thought it was a coincidence and didn't think much about it. After all, Mingyao was unlikely to stop cooperating with the Cao family and cause the Cao family to face losses just because Mr. Cao's third son chatted with him.
After the banquet, Mr. Cao anxiously called all the children over and asked them what they had done wrong recently.
After all, Mingyao's words were just short of carving the words "bad parenting" on his face. He had put a lot of effort into this cooperation, and Mingyao suddenly withdrew his investment and cancelled the cooperation. Even if there was liquidated damages, it would not be able to offset the hidden losses, not to mention that so many people would change their minds according to the wind.
The children looked at each other, and everyone said that they did not cause any trouble.
Mr. Cao was so angry that he slammed the table and asked them to tell the truth.
Seeing that dad was getting serious, everyone told him what they had done recently.
In fact, those things had nothing to do with the Ming family. Mr. Cao frowned and looked at his third son who was shaking his legs nearby. Everyone also turned their eyes to the third son.
No one suspected what he had done. After all, they all knew that the third brother was a rich second-generation who was idle and loved to have parties, eat, drink and have fun. He never interfered in family affairs, so how could he possibly offend the Ming family?
But since everyone else has been ruled out, the remaining answer, no matter how unlikely, could still be true.
Cao San was so stared at that he didn't dare to shake his legs, indicating that he really didn't do anything.
Cao San said weakly: "If he hears me talking nonsense, it counts..."
Mr. Cao's eyes widened: "What did you say to make him hear it?"
"It's the secretary next to him, she's pretty. Someone said he was married, and I said it didn't matter if he was married, I liked that, and then he heard it. It shouldn't have anything to do with it, she's not his wife."
Cao San looked at his father as if seeking confirmation, mumbling something.
Mr. Cao simply twisted his ears and ignored his wailing.
"It's a big deal! Are you sick? There are so many people in the world, why don't you hire someone close to him? Is his secretary just an ordinary secretary? What are you thinking about every day?"
Mr. Cao was almost mad with anger, so he took off his belt and started beating his son.
Cao San was beaten so hard that he ran around the house. He was forced to throw away Lin Zhi's business card, delete Lin Zhi's phone number, and swear never to mess with anyone again. Only then did his father stop.
It was not until much later, when Mingyao and Lin Zhi's relationship was exposed, that Cao San realized what he had done that day, and then he was beaten by his father again.
Of course, this is all a story for later.
Lin Zhi didn't take the person who approached her seriously, and naturally didn't care what happened.
What he cares about most right now is Mingyao’s birthday, which is still eight days away.
These eight days are long, but short at the same time.
During this period, Lin Zhi went to see the old man several times, but did not mention the birthday issue. He just hinted at other things.
The old man did not tell him the details of the past, but showed him Mingyao's old photos.
It was a very thick album, but the photos only filled less than a quarter of it.
The last photo in the album was taken on the day Yu Mingyao had the accident. The 17-year-old boy smiled at the camera with pride of a wealthy family. Beside him were his parents, and it was obvious that the family was very happy.
From the age of seventeen to the current age of twenty-eight, Mingyao's facial features have not changed much, but the feeling is very different from before.
On the morning of the 23rd, the Meteorological Observatory issued a red warning for heavy rain.
The weather was overcast, with occasional rumbles of thunder in the clouds. Although the rain has not fallen yet, the dark sky filled with dark clouds makes people feel depressed.
Primary and secondary schools immediately closed for the holiday, and many companies also asked their employees to leave early.
At noon, most of the employees of Ming Group's company building left, and Lin Zhi also went home from the company. Ming Yao did not come to the company today.
Lin Zhi thought he was going to worship his mother, but 01 told him that Mingyao's coordinates were always at home and he had not left.
Lin Zhi called the old man and asked him to pay attention to the doors and windows and to keep warm, and not to go out.
"I'll be careful. Don't disturb him today. He might be in a worse mood on a rainy day. It's raining heavily like this. Let him be alone."
Lin Zhi answered and the other end hung up.
The light outside was dim. It was still two o'clock in the afternoon, but it was no different from evening.
Lightning flashed in the sky, illuminating Lin Zhi's profile.
A second or two later, a loud thunder exploded in the sky, followed by heavy rain.
Lin Zhi didn't turn on the light and walked towards the bathroom.
The transparent solution in the box was a gift when I bought the product, and there were two Durex.
Lin Zhi doesn't use it very often because the small bottle of solution is still half full.
He is a man with a certain sense of ritual, and he needs his plan to be implemented smoothly, so he decides to do the preliminary work himself.
The rain fell densely on the ground, making a unique sound.
This kind of sound makes people feel peaceful. Lin Zhi's movements are a little careless, and her pale pink knuckles are shining.
Lin Zhi was not nervous. He felt that perhaps he should be a little more nervous, so that he could avoid thinking about the past at this moment.
After being driven out, the family returned to their hometown in disgrace. The old house had long been abandoned, but they needed a place to live temporarily.
Grandpa had three children, all sons. His father was the eldest, but not the most talented one.
My second uncle and third uncle are twins. The decision that brought disaster to the family was made by them together, but my father is the eldest son and he has to shoulder everything.
After the accident, my second uncle was devastated and one of his hands was disabled in the accident. My third uncle's wife left with their one-month-old baby. This was their joint decision as they didn't want the child to suffer.
They are not penniless, they are heavily in debt.
As the eldest son of the eldest family, everyone has high hopes for him.
Because of the talent he showed when he was young, everyone risked everything on him.
The first time he was punished was when he was fourteen because someone sent him a love letter.
In the crowded house, everyone was looking at him kneeling in the middle. His second uncle's ten-year-old child was standing in panic behind his mother, watching him being beaten and scolded. His second aunt didn't care about him. The six-month-old child in her arms was crying out of fear.
"How can you think about these things? All your energy should be focused on studying. You are the hope of all of us! Now you can't like anyone, and you can't let anyone take your attention away. There is only one thing you have to do."
"Did you hold hands with her?"
They are too worried that young children will be attracted by so-called love, and any contact is a taboo.
The pink love letter was torn into pieces and burned to ashes.
Lin Zhi was neither angry nor embarrassed, and even gave a soothing smile to the child hiding behind his second aunt.
He didn't like the girl who sent him love letters because he found out he liked boys.
Of course, this cannot be known to others, as his poor family can no longer withstand any stimulation.
However, from this day on, Lin Zhi did begin to develop body cleanliness obsession.
However, this was not a concern for Lin Zhi and he was never troubled by it.
After about three fingers, Lin Zhi washed his hands.
There seems to be a lingering strawberry flavor on my fingertips, which is the scent of the solution. Maybe I can try a different flavor next time.
Lin Zhi stood in front of the closet and picked out a large T-shirt that was big enough to cover the middle of her thighs.
The wind and rain were still blowing outside the window. Lin Zhi did not take the elevator, but walked to the stairs and went up.
01 didn't know his plan and asked in a panic: [Host, should we go up? 】
【Um. 】
Lin Zhi curved her eyes, they were going to go on an interesting adventure.
If successful, their mission progress should jump to 90 percent.
If you fail, there is only one possibility - 'both fish and net are broken'.
Unless Mingyao dies tonight, there is a high probability that he will not fail.
