19. Take the two million and leave him!
"Don't admit it?"
"Old Sun is Rong Shen's personal driver, so why did he pick you up? Do you really think I'm blind and deaf? You have no shame, but my Fu family still has some dignity!"
His voice was filled with anger.
"How much older is Rong Shen than you? He's your uncle! How dare a little girl like you do such a thing?"
She couldn't help but take two steps back under the pressure of this momentum, tears rolling down her eyes, blurring her lenses: "No, it's not like that..."
Fu Qiulei warned her sternly: "If it weren't for your grandfather, you wouldn't even be able to enter the outermost gate today!"
"I'm telling you, don't think you can enter the Fu family by seducing Rong Shen! Our Fu family not only values matching, but also seniority and reputation. A girl like you with a head full of evil thoughts, don't even think about it!"
The barrage of scolding made her face turn red and then white, and tears of humiliation and grievance flowed down her cheeks.
He stood there, his hands clenched tightly, his whole body trembling.
"Give up, Rong Shen will never be with you again!"
Fu Qiulei took the blank check handed to him by the housekeeper, filled in a string of numbers on it, signed his name, and threw it at her feet casually and contemptuously.
"Take the two million and leave him!"
Chu Yanhui opened her eyes wide at this action. She lowered her head and looked at the check for two million on the ground with tears in her eyes.
She gritted her teeth and cried in a trembling voice: "You...are you using money to get rid of me? Ha..."
I almost laughed out loud while crying.
Mr. Fu said coldly: "Take it, this is all you are worth. Don't be greedy!"
Her lips trembled, her face pale as paper. She bent down, as stiff as a machine, picked up the check, and clenched it tightly in her hand.
He took several painful deep breaths to maintain his dignity.
Word by word: "Okay, I'm leaving..."
"But I only have one thing to say," she gritted her teeth and said stubbornly, "I didn't seduce him! It was him...it was him—"
Her voice was trembling, and she couldn't utter the words "force me".
Tears kept welling up in my eyes.
“…He won’t let me go.”
When she said these six words, she was already in tears.
How much anticipation, joy, and lightness you feel when you come here, and how much pain, endurance, and heaviness you feel when you leave.
With tears in her red eyes, she carried the thrown gift and walked away from this place that had humiliated her and hurt her so badly. Her legs felt as heavy as if they were filled with lead.
Take a taxi and leave.
She returned to Shuixie Hua Ting and lost all her strength the moment she opened the door of her room.
I couldn't help but fall down in the corner of the sofa, slid down little by little with my back against the cabinet, covered my face and burst into tears.
“Why! Why!”
“…Why?”
The world is full of malice towards her.
It's difficult to move forward.
With a grateful heart, she went to visit Grandpa Fu who helped her, thinking that she could see the kind old man. However, she did not expect to be subjected to such harsh accusations and humiliation.
He was high and mighty, effortlessly crushing her feelings and trampling her dignity under his feet.
All the kindness and beauty in her memory seemed to be just her fantasies.
"I didn't seduce him... It wasn't me, it wasn't me!... It wasn't me..."
Chu Yanhui repeated it over and over again, her voice hoarse from crying. Even if she opened her heart, she couldn't prove her innocence.
My tightly closed eyes couldn't stop the surging tears, and the past scenes resurfaced in my mind.
I regret it so much.
That time, she shouldn't have accepted the task of interviewing Fu Rongshen. If she had given it to someone else, it wouldn't have turned out like this...
How great would it be if everything could start over again?
…
Two years ago.
Chu Yanhui is twenty years old.
It wasn't cold in Hong Kong in October. She had been a regular employee for two months and wore a formal black and white business suit with a metal company logo pinned on it. She also had a press card with her photo printed on it.
In two months, she has become familiar with the work process.
Once an interview is assigned, she and other colleagues will determine the interview topic, design the outline, confirm the time and place...
Although she is outstanding among the new employees, she can only conduct simple external interviews and is not qualified to participate in formal interviews.
Those who conduct formal interviews are usually Sister Liu and other experienced senior employees.
"Your article is well written! It's clear and sharp, but it won't make the other person feel uncomfortable..."
Liu Panyun reviewed the interview transcript she had written in detail and praised her with a smile.
This time we secured an interview with the chairman of Hongye Group. Everyone was very excited and full of energy.
Getting this interview can basically guarantee the subscription volume for the next six months.
But on the day of the interview, Sister Liu suddenly said to her, "You have to come with me to this interview."
This was her first time going out for an interview, a good opportunity for training, and Chu Yanhui seized it.
She answered earnestly and competently, "Okay, Sister Liu, just give me your instructions. I will be fully prepared to cooperate with you!"
"Sister Liu believes you."
Liu Panyun patted her shoulder to show encouragement, but his eyes were strange.
It was like surprise and disbelief, suspicion, and worry. All mixed together, covered by that smile, it was almost impossible to distinguish them.
Chu Yan recalled it later and finally understood the meaning of this complicated look.
The surprise came from knowing that she was designated by the chairman of Hongye Group, which meant that the other party had connections with her, which was a good thing for the company.
It's unbelievable because I can't believe that someone from Hongye Group would work for a financial magazine.
I was suspicious because I guessed that she had other motives for joining this company.
The worry comes from the intuition of older women with more experience, which is a subconscious association and bad premonition about the secrets of the workplace.
When they arrived at the other company and entered the office, Sister Liu immediately saw the secretary's hint and took the initiative to ask to go to the toilet.
She said, "I have a stomachache and I'm going to the bathroom first. If I don't come back, you can continue with the interview as planned. Don't worry about me. I will go back to the company by myself when the time comes."
But Chu Yanhui had no idea about this.
Nodding: "Don't worry, Sister Liu."
She set up the fixed equipment under the man's gaze and took out the prepared related instruments.
"Director Fu, can we interview you now?"
The man's voice was low and clear: "Let's start."
After obtaining his consent, she began recording and videotaping.
The questions asked were all agreed upon by both parties long ago, so she was the only one interviewing during the process. The process went very smoothly and ended in less than twenty minutes.
"Thank you Mr. Fu for giving our publishing house this interview opportunity. I hope to have the honor of communicating with you again in the future."
These polite words, as if stenciled from a template, have become their habit of speaking. They are gentle, polite, and cautious.
As she turned off her device and prepared to pack up her manuscript and leave, the man who had been looking at her tenderly suddenly spoke with a half-smile:
"Xiao Yanhui, have you forgotten me?"
She looked up at him, surprised and shocked.
Is he...laughing?
How could that be?
