Chapter 6
"Sister Zhenni, I told you to come pick you up. It's so cold outside, and you still came here."
Downstairs in the company, Chengzi had been waiting for a while. Seeing Wen Zhenni blowing on her red, frozen hands, she quickly took the bag and stuffed the hot soy milk she had bought in advance into her hand, "Hurry up and warm yourself up."
It was such a short distance but the sour wind made my eyes hurt.
"The weather is so unpredictable. It snows when it says it will."
Wen Zhenni cried out that it was so cold, sniffed, and rubbed the cup back and forth with her hands.
When I entered the hall, the heating was steaming and I finally felt warm.
When they arrived at the rest area, Orange took out the breakfast from the thermos bag and said, "Sister, I bought your favorite Wagyu beef tarts and chicken porridge. Come and eat them while they're hot."
Wen Zhenni opened the disposable rice spoon and remembered that Ciheng had gone out without eating breakfast, so she took a photo and sent it to remind him not to forget to eat.
Probably busy, the other party did not reply immediately.
Wen Zhenni put her phone aside and took two bites of chicken porridge.
It's hot and tastes fresh.
The moment my stomach is filled, I feel extremely happy.
Wen Zhenni curled her eyes in satisfaction, "On a snowy day, there's nothing more blissful than having a plate of steaming hot food in front of you."
"You are too easily satisfied." Orange teased her.
"Little Orange, if you live a simple life, you will easily gain more happiness."
Wen Zhenni is a natural optimist who can find simple happiness at any time and any place.
For example, when she sees a flower, the morning sunshine, or the red maple leaves on the roadside, she will happily share them with others.
It’s okay to have it or not, she won’t force it and is truly a person who can easily find happiness.
Orange has been her assistant since she graduated from university. It has been two years now, and she is still impressed by her personality from time to time.
Especially in this circle where people flatter the powerful and bully the weak, it is her luck to meet such a boss.
"Sister Zhenni should have very few worries, right?"
Orange was particularly curious. Although filming was so tiring, she had never seen her complain or lose her temper.
"I'm not a god, so of course I have my troubles."
Wen Zhenni handed her an egg tart and thought carefully.
"I grew up so quickly in junior high. My classmates were always gossiping about me behind my back, making up rumors about me, and even slandering me on forums. Adolescent girls are naturally more sensitive, and I suddenly became afraid of being noticed. I hunched my back for a long time because of this."
"What happened next?" Orange asked.
"My dad found out and reported the situation to the school. My mom blamed herself for not caring enough about me and rushed back from out of town to spend the entire summer with me."
"Your parents are very good to you."
Just by listening to her, Orange was already envious of her family atmosphere.
Thinking of the false comments on the Internet, she angrily took a bite of the egg tart. "Those trolls always say you lack experience and knowledge. In my opinion, it's simply because they lack love and have twisted hearts that they seek to gain attention and presence."
"Just ignore them."
There's nothing wrong with saying she lacks experience, and Wen Zhenni doesn't deny it.
When she was a child, she was loved by her parents. Even though their relationship faded and they divorced, they still loved her and her brother in their own way.
Later, she debuted as a member of a group and successfully reached the peak of her career.
As for marriage, I get along harmoniously with my husband's family.
Her life can be described as smooth sailing, and she has hardly experienced any major storms.
Because she has always been in a loving family atmosphere, she feels only sunshine and kindness, and she can turn a blind eye to those bad voices.
"Are the egg tarts delicious?" she asked.
Orange nodded, moving his cheeks, "It's just too expensive."
"I'll buy it for you later."
"Thank you, sis."
Chengzi hugged her and said thank you, then quickly cleaned up the takeout boxes on the table, "Sister Haoran should be here soon, let's go over there quickly."
After Wen Zhenni helped her clean up, the two of them walked outside and saw a young woman sitting on the sofa near the door.
She wore a withered rose pink fur coat, a brown slit leather skirt, and a pair of khaki boots.
Her facial features are elegant and her eyelids are thin. She is not stunning, but has an atmospheric look.
Looks familiar.
"This year's newcomer?"
After leaving the rest area, she asked Orange.
Orange: "Well, the company wants to sign a few new people, and she is one of them."
Oranges surfing on 5G are the most informed.
"Her name is Yu Lanfei. She used to be a makeup blogger, but later transitioned to being an actress. Last month, she became a bit of a celebrity thanks to a web drama, and many production crews are looking for her to audition."
Chengzi gossiped with her quietly, "She's been on a lot of negative searches. In just the past few days, she's exposed a lot of negative information."
In the entertainment industry, unspoken rules are no longer news, and the so-called black material may just be some trivial and insignificant things.
Wen Zhenni just listened casually and didn't take it to heart. After going upstairs, she went to Sister Haoran's office.
Now that I have the movie script, the role is a sure thing.
Sister Haoran handed her the script and told her to act well. "Time is tight. You should familiarize yourself with the script as soon as possible and get the feeling."
"OK, no problem."
Wen Zhenni opened the script and read it roughly.
The movie "Yan Nanfei" is set in Peking during the Republic of China period and mainly tells the story of the feud between the Sun and Huang families.
She will play the role of the second daughter of the Huang family, a beautiful female college student. She is jealous of the heroine's cousin and interferes with the relationship between the hero and heroine, causing the misunderstanding between the two to deepen and miss each other.
It is worthy of being a script polished by a national-level screenwriter, the writing skills are extraordinary.
Although this character doesn't have many scenes, he is very three-dimensional and full of life. If you understand it well and act accordingly, it will definitely be a great performance.
She seemed to understand Tang Yu's concerns. Given the current public opinion environment, this was a villain and would bring her huge controversy.
Wen Zhenni found it interesting and thought it might be a brand new experience.
After familiarizing herself with the script, Wen Zhenni took a shower and climbed into bed, only to see Ciheng's unread message.
Wen Zhenni turned over and lay on the pillow. Too lazy to type, she simply made a video call.
Perhaps because she had just returned to the room, the dim light behind her flickered, revealing Ciheng's well-defined jawline.
"Is there time to reply now?"
Wen Zhenni: "...I was reading the script and forgot."
The camera was focused on Ciheng's neck, and as he loosened his tie, his Adam's apple rolled a few times.
Sexy is sexy, but from the perspective of straight men, no matter how handsome the face is, it is unbearable.
That's not how this face is used.
Wen Zhenni said disdainfully, "Ciheng, the camera is crooked. I want to see your face."
Ciheng sneered at her, "Look if you want to. Who do you think I am?"
"My husband."
Wen Zhenni took it for granted, "It's reasonable for a husband to show it to his wife."
"Hmph." Ciheng frowned seriously and seemed reluctant, but still put the camera up.
"What are you doing if you're not sleeping?"
"I miss you." Wen Zhenni rolled around holding her phone, "It feels like a long time since I last saw you."
"How many three autumns have there been in these three years? Why haven't I heard you mention it once?"
Sweet words come out of her mouth as easily as eating and drinking.
No matter how much she refuted it, Ciheng really fell for her tricks.
He took off his glasses and flipped through the documents in his hands, still busy. "I have something else tonight, so I don't have time to chat with you."
"Oh, okay..."
"Then remember to eat and don't stay up late."
Relying on his youth and good physical fitness, he often forgot to eat and rest when he was busy serving overseas.
If it weren't for the physical examination report, Wen Zhenni couldn't help but suspect that he had the typical stomach problems of a domineering president.
Although she said she was busy, Ciheng did not hang up the video.
Wen Zhenni was so bored that she fell asleep in front of the camera. Ciheng was about to urge her to go to bed when her secretary Lin Nuo suddenly walked in.
"Boss Ci, Assistant Boss Lu asks you to come downstairs."
Ciheng closed the file and said, "Okay, I understand."
"Are you busy?" Wen Zhenni seemed to hear Lin Nuo's urging voice in a daze.
"I have to go meet some elders." Ciheng put his glasses back on. Seeing Lu Fangyang frequently peeking outside the room, he raised his finger to signal and ended the video early.
This time I came to Beicheng mainly to deal with the issue of a project data of the factory being sold to overseas by a core member.
This factory located in Beicheng has been in operation for more than 30 years and is mainly responsible for the research, development and production of aircraft.
Because they provided flight control technical support to the national air force and had close technical cooperation, the member's behavior was monitored in a timely manner. Realizing that the incident was exposed, the member fled overnight and was eventually arrested at Beicheng Airport.
Now some members of the factory have been summoned by the Security Department to cooperate with the investigation. Although the relevant news has not yet been fully leaked, senior management from North City will definitely come forward.
The person in charge of Beicheng cannot escape responsibility for what happened, but since it involves the reputation of the group headquarters, Ciheng must make this trip in person.
I arrived in Beicheng at two o'clock in the afternoon and spent the whole afternoon meeting people, negotiating, and cooperating with the investigation.
After having dinner with elders from the business and political circles in the evening, it was almost dawn.
This theft incident caused certain losses to the company. Fortunately, it was discovered in time and was still under control. No important secrets were threatened, so it was a close call.
He returned to China to take over Taihua, and the company's veteran shareholders were watching his every move.
Although this incident happened suddenly, he was able to remain calm and handled the matter properly in just one day.
The answer sheet was very good, and the old foxes in the company also recognized his ability to handle things.
After the social event, Ciheng and senior management escorted the elders out of the hotel.
I'm not sleepy, but I drank too much and feel uncomfortable all over.
He rubbed his brows and heard Lin Nuo say, "Boss Ci, the honey and pear soup is ready. Shall we have it delivered to the room?"
Honey pear soup, what is that?
Ci Heng refused without a second thought, "I don't drink anything sweet."
"It was my wife's order."
Lin Nuo is his personal secretary. He has been responsible for taking care of Ciheng's food and daily life since he went abroad three years ago. It can be said that he knows Ciheng's likes and dislikes very well.
Guessing he would refuse, Lin Nuo explained with a smile, "My wife knows you'll be entertaining until late and drinking is inevitable, so she specially asked the kitchen to stew some for you to drink before going to bed."
"Tsk! I heard something."
Lu Fangyang, who followed in, looked shocked.
What did he hear? This really was the legendary loveless couple!
His eyes turned red with envy. "Honey and pear soup has a soothing effect. If President Ci doesn't like it, it's not impossible to give it to me as a reward."
It's strange that I would think about it.
Ci Heng twitched his lips, "You don't have a wife of your own?"
Lu Fangyang: “…”
Boss, you will be heartbroken.
"Have you arranged your itinerary for tomorrow?" Ciheng asked.
Lu Fangyang handed him the itinerary and said seriously, "It's arranged, and it's turning around again."
Ciheng looked at the itinerary, changed unimportant items, and signed several important documents. After returning to the suite, she drank some pear soup and fell asleep.
At seven o'clock in the morning, Lin Nuo came knocking on the door on time.
During the meal in the restaurant, General Assistant Lu Fangyang came with documents for him to sign.
"The X-series flight control system has passed its first round of tests, and the project plan has been adjusted and improved. After expert evaluation, we can continue to move forward. This project may be completed earlier than we expected."
Lu Fangyang was Tzu-heng's right-hand man. His retelling was always clear and Tzu-heng had nothing to add.
After reviewing the documents, he signed them and said, "Prepare for the ten o'clock meeting."
Lu Fangyang made an OK gesture, put the documents into his briefcase, and suddenly said mysteriously, "The hotel is holding a spring art auction in three days. Would Mr. Ci like to bring a gift for his wife?"
He had never met Mr. Ci's wife, but he knew very well about her hobby of collecting antiques and cultural relics.
Ciheng looked at him deeply, said nothing, but his gaze was directed at Lin Nuo.
After Lu Fangyang left, Lin Nuo showed him the official information he found on the tablet.
"Tomorrow is the preview period. There's an emerald brooch there. I think Madam will like it."
The bright green teardrop-shaped brooch has a very eye-catching color and design, and it is really nice.
He enlarged the picture and was about to observe the details of the brooch when he heard someone calling his name.
"Ciheng...is it really you?"
Jiang Lin walked over in high heels, pulled out a dining chair with ease, and sat down opposite him.
Unlike her previous professional image, she wore a light-colored dress today and looked quite fashionable.
"Just now I saw someone who looked like you from behind. I didn't expect it was really you. Are you on a business trip to North City?"
In addition to being surprised, Jiang Lin was more delighted.
"Are you working in Beicheng?" Ciheng asked out of politeness.
"No, my cousin is here. She came to play for two days and will go back to Tianhai tomorrow."
My cousin went to the bathroom, and she was waiting in the restaurant when she saw him.
"It's a rare opportunity to rest, so it's time to relax." Ciheng wiped his hands slowly with a napkin.
It was clearly a casual action, but when it came to him, it carried an inexplicable sense of mesmerizing dignity.
It is difficult not to attract the opposite sex.
What's more, there are many years of friendship between classmates.
Jiang Lin was distracted and tried to cover up by smoothing a strand of hair that fell on her chest. "It's a rare meeting, I'll treat you to a simple meal."
"I'm afraid not. My schedule is full lately."
This is indeed the truth.
The disappointment in Jiang Lin's eyes flashed away.
But it doesn’t matter, there is a long way to go. If it doesn’t work this time, there will always be next time.
"Our company just happened to bid for an important project of Taihua, so we will have more time to deal with them in the future."
Ci Heng raised his eyes and asked, "Genting Resort project?"
"Yes, this project is the first one I participated in after returning to China..."
She wanted to continue, but Lin Nuo came forward and interrupted her with a polite smile, "Sorry, Miss Jiang."
Then he leaned over and whispered in Ciheng's ear, "Boss Ci, it's time to set off."
She caught a glimpse of the staff waiting in the distance and had to stand up. "Then I won't bother you anymore. Let's meet again in Tianhai."
After saying goodbye to Ciheng, she came out of the restaurant. Her cousin had already returned from the bathroom and was standing in the corridor, craning her neck to look through the restaurant glass.
"Who is he?"
As soon as they got in the car, her cousin couldn't wait to extract a confession from her.
Of course she saw Ciheng. If it was an ugly man, she would not even look at him.
"Tzu Heng is the current head of Taihua Group."
Jiang Lin satisfied her curiosity, but in fact she herself was a little vain without realizing it.
"Is it the Taihua I know?"
My cousin's eyes widened. "How could a real person be so handsome! He's rich, handsome, and capable. How can this be justified?"
But her point was, "Sister, you two have this kind of relationship, why have I never heard you mention it?"
"Well, we were in the same class in high school. We did experiments and participated in competitions together."
"Wow, sister, you found a treasure!" My cousin rubbed her hands excitedly.
But she quickly realized, "But I heard he's married."
So what if you get married? You can still get divorced after marriage.
In today's society, marriage is free.
In front of her sister, Jiang Lin did not hide her feelings at all, "How can a marriage between wealthy families without love last long?"
