Chapter 66 Heartbeat 66 Wallpaper
On the way back, Wen Huai realized it belatedly.
"When did you find out?"
"yesterday."
He gave an exact time, "It should be after you left the company that I received the video from Dong Chen."
Wen Huai thought he could hide it from him, because he appeared at the peak today just to come with the police to arrest Sui Jianwen.
It turns out he already knew it.
"Then why don't you ask me?"
"I know you have plans."
Wen Huai sighed, not feeling much happier about this trust.
"But my plan is to resign. Isn't that a bit frustrating?"
"If the video was thrown in Sui Jianwen's face, and the evidence of the amount of money embezzled from the Southeast District was made public, how could it be aggrieved?"
She was surprised again, "How did you know..." Did I do the comparison of sales data for the Southeast region?
"Jiang Han has been here the whole time," he confessed. "He thinks Sui Jianwen will take action only after I'm gone."
No wonder the police arrived so promptly.
No wonder he showed up together.
Remembering what Sui Jianwen said, she asked, "Didn't you go to see Ming Zhenlian?"
"Yes. He used the evidence of Sui Jianwen seeking personal gain as bait to get me to abstain from the summit, and I agreed."
"You promised?"
"Yeah." Xu Youjing said maliciously, "But the one representing Peak is Li Qicheng. I can't control what he chooses."
Wen Huai couldn't help but laugh, "Ming Zhenlian would be furious if he knew."
"But he's not afraid of Xiao Sui by doing this... Sui Jianwen knows it's going to be a disaster. What he did can't be released by just two days in jail and finding a lawyer."
Just to investigate the amount of interest in the Southeast region would take at least half a year.
"Ming Zhenlian is cunning. What he gave was just a small manipulation of the project by Sui Jianwen. It was originally insignificant, but you encountered him admitting it personally and discovered discrepancies in the data. If these are handed over to the police, Ming Zhenlian will also be implicated."
"With the summit coming up and the investigation underway, he was overwhelmed," Xu Youjing recalled. "He also handed the video of his meeting with Peng Xijun to the police. Officer Cheng said they'd been keeping an eye on Peng Xijun for a long time."
Unexpectedly, everything was going in a good direction. Wen Huai looked at the familiar scene that was gradually falling behind her. It was the first time that she was on her way home at the time when she should have been working. She felt very strange.
"Now we just have to wait for the results of the investigation."
"Um."
The car was silent for a moment, and Wen Huai's phone kept vibrating.
After reporting her situation, she muted the phone and placed it on the center console.
Xu Youjing was driving slowly, glancing sideways and asking, "Have you thought it through?"
There was no preface or postscript, but Wen Huai understood it.
She nodded and let out a sigh, "Actually, I applied to a normal university. I was thinking that after graduation, I'd take the civil service exam and maybe go to No. 1 Middle School, the same school as my dad."
"Two Teacher Wens?" Xu Youjing imagined it. "That seems pretty good."
Wen Huai laughed.
She didn’t know if it was her hormones, but she thought Xu Youjing sounded nice when he called her that.
"I had a classmate in high school who is now a high school teacher. I ran into her at a senior's wedding. Guess what the first thing she said to me was?"
Xu Youjing was silent for a moment, then said in an exaggerated tone, "It's a good thing you didn't become a teacher."
She was surprised again, "You know again!"
"If you meet a designer or a dance teacher, they will definitely say the same thing. Every profession is difficult, but only they themselves know the grievances and difficulties involved."
Wen Huai looked at him, feeling that there was something else behind his words, and didn't pay attention to where the car was going.
"Work is just a means of making a living. It's certainly important, but no matter how important it is, it can't compare to your happiness. If you're not happy at work, don't do it. Rest well at home and take care of your spleen, stomach, and rhinitis. After some time has passed and you've rested enough, you can go wherever you want and do whatever you want."
The car turned off. Xu Youjing held her hand and said something serious in a lighthearted way, "Next time you encounter someone like Sui Jianwen, just slap him in the face. Don't worry about Mr. Sui."
Wen Huaizhen was amused by him: "What is this, □□?"
He shook his head, lowered his eyes and smiled faintly.
It’s better to resign so that they don’t have to hide their marriage from others.
Along the way, Xu Youjing didn't ask her what her next plan was. In short, no matter which path she chose, it would not be a dead end.
Fortunately, he has enough money and power to support her.
When she wanted to take the teacher qualification exam or the civil service exam, he would help her buy the materials. When she wanted to go back to the company, he would pick her up and drop her off. If she didn't want to work anymore, he would accompany her when she traveled domestically or abroad.
As long as he was around, she would never have to endure this alone.
He took her finger and walked around, rubbing the ring on her fingertip, "It's a little secret to make us, Ah Huai, happy."
The confined space inside the car was quiet and peaceful, and the low-pitched voice echoed in the ears, which was particularly pleasant.
Wen Huai lowered his eyes.
The lights outside the car made it difficult for her to open her eyes.
"Let's go upstairs." Xu Youjing pinched her ear, "You can order now, Mrs. Xu."
Only then did Wen Huai notice that they were parked in the basement garage of Xuejiang Pavilion.
He explained: "I want to leave your mark in all these houses."
Without waiting for Wen Huai to speak, Xu Youjing added: "I'm talking about traces of life."
Wen Huai: "..."
-
The last time Wen Huai came was half a year ago.
She was splashed with paint, and after the housekeeper came, she went into the house alone, confused and struggling to find the bathroom.
He was also afraid of causing trouble for Xu Youjing, and he felt awkward and embarrassed.
Arriving again, Wen Huai stood at the entrance and took in the entire apartment.
The decoration style and orientation are almost the same as the villa. Even when Wen Huai came here for the second time, he still felt unfamiliar with the place.
She is still more familiar with the villa.
"Want some milk tea?"
Xu Youjing asked her in front of the refrigerator.
"Is there?"
"have."
When she walked over, she found that the open kitchen was fully equipped, and even the double-door refrigerator was well stocked with food.
Xu Youjing took the iced milk tea out of the compartment and put it aside instead of giving it to her directly.
"Liang, I'm taking Chinese medicine now, I can't drink it."
Wen Huai compromised: "Is there anything that is not iced?"
"have."
"I'll just drink that—"
She was stunned when she saw the medicine Xu Youjing took out of the incubator.
Seeing this, Xu Youjing took the medicine further away and said, "Don't worry, that's not what I'm talking about."
I took a cup and poured half of it into the water for her.
"I'll boil the medicine later. It's perfect to drink after dinner."
Wen Huai sighed, "Who said that after resigning, there's only an empty wallet and plenty of time? There's also the bitter Chinese medicine."
She complained, "This time the taste is even more bitter than the previous two times, it's really hard to drink."
"Good medicine tastes bitter." He still said the same thing, but when he thought of the smell in the morning, he was still scared.
He found the candied dried fruits he had prepared and asked, "Do you want to stay here or go back to the villa?"
"Villa."
"Okay, go sit for a while, I'll boil the medicine."
Wen Huai didn't leave. He looked over and asked, "Have you decided what to eat for lunch?"
"No." She wasn't hungry. "Anything is fine."
"Cooking noodles?"
"OK."
Pour the Chinese medicine into the casserole, Xu Youjing noted the time, "Auntie Ping's daughter and her family are back from out of town, so I told her not to come these few days. Before she left, she was thinking about the Chinese medicine, so I asked her to send it to the apartment near the company so that it wouldn't delay your lunchtime medicine."
This time the medicine needs to be decocted three times, twice a day, and must be consumed before 5 pm, otherwise the medicinal properties will be lost.
Wen Huai nodded, "National Day is coming soon."
"Should we go out and play?"
"Sure, where are we going?"
"Think about it?"
"good."
Not forgetting that Li Changying was busy with the wedding, Wen Huai said, "Let's go to grandma's house for dinner tomorrow night. Should I go first or should I go with you in the evening?"
"You go first, so you don't get bored at home."
"good."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Youjing's cell phone rang.
His hands were still wet and it was inconvenient, so Wen Huai went to get them.
I saw the note and answered directly, "Grandma."
She put her phone on speakerphone and placed it on the bar between them.
Li Changying was not surprised that it was Wen Huai who answered the phone.
The board appointments and news spread very quickly. The news of Sui Jianwen's removal from his position and his arrest were almost updated simultaneously. Li Changying naturally knew what was happening in the company.
"Do you want to hold your wedding before or after the New Year? I've looked at auspicious dates before the New Year, and there are three in late October and November. There are plenty of dates after the New Year."
"Before the New Year." Xu Youjing made the decision without asking Wen Huai first this time, "It's not convenient after the New Year."
There was a pause: "Why are you talking alone? Xiao Ai hasn't said anything yet."
Wen Huai said: "Grandma, I think so too."
"Okay, then before the New Year."
Li Changying confirmed the wedding arrangements with them and asked them to take their wedding photos as soon as possible. She also reminded them not to catch a cold as the weather was getting colder before hanging up.
Wen Huai lowered his head, naturally knowing why Xu Youjing set the wedding before the New Year.
Because February 1st after the New Year is my father's death anniversary.
Xu Youjing actually knew.
Thinking of her father, her nose felt sore.
The phone screen returned to the lock screen after it was hung up. Wen Huaiben withdrew his gaze but was drawn back to the dark mass.
She had wanted to ask what this was before.
Asking now.
Xu Youjing said, "One time when I was sending you home, Xi Guan called me and you answered the phone."
Wen Huai remembered, "What does this have to do with this picture?"
"This is what I captured when I accidentally touched the camera while answering the phone."
Only after the complete photo was brought out did Wen Huai see it clearly.
The original picture is pitch black, with a blurred neon light in the upper right corner. It really looks like it was taken accidentally in a dim environment.
But she had no recollection.
“When did you set it up?”
"Forgot." Anyway, that was when he was moved.
"Why do you use this as wallpaper?" You obviously have so many photos.
"Because you took the photo, if you use something else, it will be discovered."
Wen Huai didn't say anything teasing.
She originally thought Xu Youjing liked this dark style, but found out that she wanted a lighter color.
Due to his working environment, Xu Youjing had to settle for the second best option.
She coaxed, "Do you still have the sunset photo you took last time? How about using that one?"
"Well, you change."
The water in the pot was boiling, and Xu Youjing put the noodles in.
Wen Huai entered the password to unlock it. Without looking at anything else, he clicked on the album and found that there were only three photos in the album.
One is the one I just saw, and the other two are the sunset that day and their photos together.
All three photos were taken by her.
Wen Huai set the photo of the sunset as wallpaper, and sent the group photo to his mobile phone and set it as the lock screen wallpaper.
She wanted to give Xu Youjing a surprise, so she pushed the replaced screen forward.
Xu Youjing's face darkened when he saw this.
"You want me to watch Zhixue and call you?"
