Chapter 40 40. My boyfriend went on a blind date with his best friend...
There was a knock on the door, and Aunt Qian reminded them, "Xiaoyan, Jingzhou, it's time to leave."
Mi Yanyan pursed her lips, took a trembling breath, straightened her back, put on the white flower, and pushed open the door. Xiao Yichi and Yu Wan leaned on either side of the door, staring at her intently.
Time flies, and the affection between people will eventually end.
The morning light is pale, and the sunrise shrouded in haze is about to be cancelled. Cold air is moving south, bringing a new round of temperature drop. It seems that today is not as good as predicted.
Before leaving the compound, she looked back and remembered the day she reported to university. It was also early in the morning. She turned around with her bulging luggage in her arms, and the old couple stood at the door of the unit and waved at her, just once, firmly and decisively.
At that time, besides being reluctant to leave home, I was filled with anticipation and longing. As long as people are together, home will never be broken.
Looking back now, there was no one in the small doorway.
She had set out twice, once to see her grandmother off, and now to see her grandfather off again. Her home was just a few meters away, but when she knocked on the door again, no one would answer with their reading glasses.
Shi Jingzhou arranged his route and got into the car. His black windbreaker fluttered in the wind and he nodded politely to his relatives in the back seat.
He unbuttoned two buttons at his waist and sat down, his eyes lowered. He pried out Mi Yanyan's clenched fist and flattened it on his leg.
The two watched in silence as the car started up. The scenery became slow motion, and paper money fell to the ground in the wind...
The funeral procession at the cemetery was spectacular. Traditionally, a banquet was held after a funeral in Nancheng. As the guests were waiting for their seats, Mi Yanyan saw Secretary Zhou waiting outside the door. His brows were furrowed, but when his eyes met Mi Yanyan's, they suddenly relaxed.
Shi Jingzhou returned to his seat and rolled up his sleeves slightly. "Something's going on at the company. Can I go by myself?"
"Go ahead, it's all done." The tie was tilted, and Mi Yanyan helped him straighten it. After she finished the action, she was surprised and almost subconsciously retracted her hand.
Shi Jingzhou pushed back his chair, followed by Secretary Zhou. The two of them strode to the hotel entrance, where Xiao Yichi called out, "Mr. Shi, let's chat for a minute."
"Okay." Shi Jingzhou gestured for Zhou Shu to get in the car first, and then followed Xiao Yichi to stand beside the flower bed.
"I know you're anxious to get back and put out the fire, so I'll cut to the chase." Xiao Yichi had been busy with the funeral process throughout, and had seen Shi Jingzhou accompany Mi Yanyan with his own eyes. His impression of him had unconsciously changed, and he said sincerely, "Thank you."
"Who are you thanking me for?" Shi Jingzhou's mouth twitched slightly, his eyes unclear. "Are you my best friend's husband, or my girlfriend's older brother?"
Xiao Yichi was stunned and laughed out loud, "Jinhe and I..." He wanted to explain that he and Ye Jinhe had not reached that stage yet, but it seemed like it was only a matter of time since they were getting along.
"Mr. Xiao, I always thought you liked my wife." Shi Jingzhou enunciated the words clearly, especially the three words "my wife", and he spoke each word with a strong warning.
"Maybe I liked it when I was seventeen or eighteen." Xiao Yichi deliberately provoked him.
"It seems I need to remind Ye Jinhe to register for an ophthalmology appointment."
"But," Xiao Yichi's breathing quickened, "I soon realized that I only had a brotherly feeling towards her. To be more precise, I treated her like a sister."
Xiao Yichi's change of opinion of Shi Jingzhou started from the birthday party. It was unexpected that he could force him to drink so smoothly that day. Shi Jingzhou was such a big figure in Nancheng that many people wanted to toast him, but few dared to force him to drink.
The only reason she endured his torment was for Mi Yanyan's sake.
That's enough. If there is someone who can make Mi Yanyan return to her freedom, that person can be Shi Jingzhou.
As a childhood sweetheart, he accompanied Mi Yanyan. Love might not necessarily develop, but the family relationship, which is better than family affection, lasts forever. "So, you must treat her well. The old man is gone, and she has no one by her side."
He can clearly see the current situation of the Mi family and recognize his own identity. When Mi Yanyan gets married, he has to leave the position that is prone to misunderstanding and make way for Shi Jingzhou.
"I will." Shi Jingzhou said solemnly, and asked for help, "I'll go first. Please take care of this place."
"Don't worry," Xiao Yichi smiled and called out innocently, "Future big brother."
Shi Jingzhou didn't respond. Before getting into the car, he regained his stern expression and turned back coldly, "Don't bully my sister. The matter of calling me big brother is still to be determined."
Xiao Yichi was secretly surprised when he saw the car driving out. It was said that the second son of the Shi family did not recognize his relatives, but after getting to know him more, he felt a little uncomfortable.
On second thought, it's not surprising. For those who are powerful in the business world, it is easy for them to change their faces at will.
The banquet was full of discussions about weddings and funerals. Most of those who were interested sat at the main table, welcoming and seeing off guests, each with their own thoughts.
Yu Wan returned from the bathroom and her eyes fell on Mi Yanyan's chopsticks, which she held for a long time without putting anything into her mouth. She turned the plate, picked up a light dish and placed it on the bone dish. "Xiaoyan, eat a little."
Mi Yanyan finally came to her senses and stuffed the food into her mouth stiffly. She couldn't tell whether the food tasted good or bad. Her nerves were throbbing in her forehead and her eyelids felt heavy and ready to close at any moment.
Noticing that the seat next to Mi Yanyan had been empty for a long time, Yu Wan pushed the bowl of soup in front of her and asked, "Is Shi Jingzhou gone?"
"Well, something happened at the company."
"We have to go back quickly. Ruisi is in big trouble this time." Yu Wan said, and then she saw Mi Yanyan suddenly look up with a confused expression on her face. "No way, you don't know yet?"
"Know what?" Mi Yanyan asked anxiously.
Yu Wan quickly took out his mobile phone and typed "Rui Si Bio" into the webpage. A flood of news was constantly updating. Mi Yanyan took a closer look and saw that it clearly stated that the stock price of Rui Si Group had been declining for the past seven trading days. It had hit the limit down yesterday, and nearly 3 billion yuan had evaporated.
He had been with her for so many days without mentioning a word. Thinking back, every time she fell into a deep sleep, Shi Jingzhou would stand farther away to answer or make phone calls, and when she woke up, he would be calm again.
"Everyone in the group is in a state of panic right now. The financial statements have been exposed, colliding with the pharmaceutical industry's rectification campaign. Ruisi has sent Shi Jingzhou to negotiate with headquarters, but the outcome is unpredictable."
Yu Wan had some admiration for his boss. He would never leave the compound even if the sky fell. He could even stay up all night without sleeping while still maintaining his noble and proud demeanor.
"Xiao Yan, take back the useless husband's name. Being able to handle big things is still very useful."
Mi Yanyan was speechless for a moment, with Yu Wan's thumbs up. She realized belatedly that she had failed in her responsibilities as a wife and was completely unaware of such a big thing.
He opened the dialog box and deleted the words he had entered. He hesitated, then thought that he was in the middle of a confrontation, so he gave up the idea.
The Ruisi conference room was in turmoil at this time. Shi Huaizhi suppressed his anger and waited for Shi Jingzhou to come, then left, leaving him alone and surrounded by enemies.
This fluctuation affected more than just Ruisi. Capital was mobilized at the news, the overall environment was turbulent, and a tall tree attracts the wind. Shi Jingzhou suppressed his emotions and faced the doubts.
"We are currently investigating the source of the rumor, please be patient."
The matter that was supposed to be resolved behind closed doors was exposed to the public. Shi Jingzhou knew that this was Shi Ye's last move before he was removed from office, with the purpose of cutting off the source of the problem and alienating the relationship between him and the old man.
Shi Jingzhou has already raised the spearhead. Instead of waiting passively, it is better to fight to the death. It is a foregone conclusion that there is something fishy about the sales expenses. He has to retreat. Saving his son Shi Zekai is the top priority.
Shi Jingzhou couldn't tell the reason. The old man knew who set up the scheme. He was just adding fuel to the already suspicious heart of the people. It was the best time to let the situation continue to ferment when a big change happened in the Mi family.
"The situation is deteriorating now, Mr. Shi, we can't afford to wait." Securities companies, funds, and individual investors online and offline filled the Ruisi conference room. The cost of the limit down was too high. It took two days for Shi Jingzhou to show up, and everyone was talking about it.
"Rui Si is repurchasing 400,000 Hong Kong shares. Furthermore," Shi Jingzhou invited Zhou Shu in, "this is the latest data developed after we acquired an American laboratory services company. It's fully capable of withstanding the risks posed by policy responses..."

After the banquet, Mi Yanyan stayed until the end, seeing off the guests and waiting at the hotel entrance. Her hazy eyes, which had been avoiding the light for a long time, were suddenly pierced by the scorching light. It was noon and warmth was rising in the sky.
Yu Wan hadn't been seen coming back from picking up the car for a long time. She lowered her head and asked about the message, when she heard someone behind her mention a familiar name while chatting and laughing.
"Does Shi Jingzhou know that you're staying in South City?"
Hearing the sound, Qin Muchuan turned around and led people to the lobby coffee shop.
The girl standing next to him was tall and graceful, with medium-length hair that reached her ears and a pair of delicate eyes hanging on a pretty nose. She smiled and replied, "He's busy, there's no rush to talk."
"This time, thanks to you for bringing back the lab data in time, he was able to overcome the difficulties."
"Jingzhou and I have been a family for so many years. I will definitely help you with this."
Before he could figure out what was going on, a female voice interrupted the conversation. Yu Wan, hands on her hips, trotted along, caught up with Qin Muchuan and asked, "Why are you here?"
The two of them stopped, and Qin Muchuan hugged Yu Wan in surprise, saying, "Help Jingzhou pick up a friend."
Yu Wan slapped Qin Muchuan's hand off her waist, pulled him aside, and whispered, "Mi Yanyan is here too. Who is this woman?"
Qin Muchuan glanced around and happened to bump into Mi Yanyan. He immediately said solemnly, "I'm sorry," and then whispered to Yu Wan, "Yan Ge, Shi Jingzhou's previous marriage partner. She booked the hotel herself, and I was just running errands."
Yu Wan was annoyed: "You are really capable. You have taken care of all the shameful things."
"Before, the key word must be made clear, it's before."
Before Qin Muchuan could introduce them, Yu Wan had already pulled Mi Yanyan over and stood in front of them. She introduced herself cheerfully, "Nice to meet you. Hello, I'm Yu Wan."
The other party was obviously stunned, and Qin Muchuan hurriedly added: "My girlfriend."
Yan Ge extended her hand gracefully and said with a smile, "Hello, Miss Yu, Yan Ge."
After saying that, Yu Wan turned his eyes to the absent-minded Mi Yanyan. Without waiting for her to speak, he continued on his own initiative: "This is Mi Yanyan, Mrs. Shi Jingzhou."
A flash of surprise appeared between Yan Ge's brows, and then he smiled.
After the greetings, there was nothing else to talk about. Qin Muchuan and Yu Wan whispered a few words before taking Yan Ge to check in. Mi Yanyan casually asked, "Aren't you going to the parking lot to get the car? Why are you here again?"
Yu Wan wiped the sweat from her lips and said, "Don't mention it. I was stupid and left my keys on the table in the private room." Fortunately, she went back to get the keys, otherwise she wouldn't have seen this scene. Her boyfriend brought his best friend's former blind date to the hotel to book a room. She laughed to herself and muttered, "How fucking exciting."
After a moment, he realized, "Who said she agreed to be his girlfriend? She keeps talking nonsense all day long."
"Yeah, what's going on with you two?" I wanted to ask on my birthday, but things kept going around in circles, and it was only now that I finally got to the person involved. "You and Qin Muchuan..."
“Yes.”
Yu Wan turned the steering wheel and drove out of the parking space. Mi Yanyan was thrown half out of the seat. She quickly grabbed the seat belt and choked on the spot in disbelief.
When we reached the first traffic light, he finally spoke: "...and you did it?"
Turning to face her best sister with an innocent look, Yu Wan replied seriously: "I really did it, absolutely true, and the work was not bad." The red light turned green, and she asked back with a smirk.
"What about you and Shi Jingzhou? Tell us whether the survey questionnaire is true or false."

A small town in the north during winter.
The salty sea breeze blew in through the rusty iron windows. Cheng Yu pushed Cheng Xingnan's hand away and asked with a smile, "Are you crying?"
"Sand blinds my eyes."
Cheng Yu covered her mouth and said, "This is the fourth floor, not the beach, why are you crying?"
Cheng Xingnan looked angrily at the 1.2-meter pink bed under her butt.
He was reluctant to even sit on the little bed that he regarded as an oracle.
He was the one who came first, so why should he have to listen to her making love with another man through the door?
Cheng Yu understood and put her arm around his neck and raised her face.
"What happened can't be changed. Do you choose to accept it or get out?"
With a plop, a tear rolled down his chin, like a child whose candy was snatched away. Cheng Xingnan made his decision firmly.
"I want one too."
—————————————————————————————
Cheng Yu graduated from university and has a stable career. Her boyfriend is her brother Cheng Xingnan's best friend, and their life is simple and happy.
Her boyfriend's parents hosted a banquet, and she and Cheng Xingnan attended together, maintaining the superficial peace between the siblings.
"Cheng Yu and Jiang Kuo are getting married soon, right?"
"Waiting to drink at your wedding."
"It would be nice if my brother could accompany me when I get married."
No one knows how big a flaw is hidden in Cheng Yu's beautiful and warm smile.
Under the table covered with blooming flowers, Cheng Xingnan held her hand and asked her absurdly, "Do you still like me, Cheng Yu?"
Cheng Yu felt like a sharp knife was at her neck, and it was difficult for her to express her feelings. A few years ago, she asked Cheng Xingnan if he would like her.
He smiled condescendingly and said, "Is your brother that stupid?"
There are two kinds of men in the world: good men who are boring, and bad men who are interesting. (Note 1)
When asked who Cheng Yu would choose, she said she had not yet made a decision.
Prying the Brother's Girlfriend/Fake Bone/Chasing the Wife to the Crematorium
Some tips:
1. The male and female protagonists are not related by blood.
The girl is not a virgin to the boy, our goal is to let the heroine eat better, the hero won't mind, he will only hate himself for being incompetent. You guys are so well-behaved, you will definitely not mind!
2. The heroine is not spoiled, she has her own life and will follow her current mood (walking left and right, up and down).
3. The career settings were looked up by Zaozi on the Internet. I tried to make them as realistic as possible, but because they are quite different from my own major, I cannot guarantee that they are completely correct. If there are any mistakes, please point them out politely.
4. As we all know, Zaozi is a player who has saved manuscripts. The number of pre-collected manuscripts is over 100,000. Please collect and support him!
