Chapter 4 Chapter 4 Who does he think he is?
Who does he think he is?
Xi Tong sneered, raised her head and glared at Yu Sixie, narrowing her eyes slightly like a frightened fox, "Let go!"
His hands still held her tightly, even tighter, as if he wanted to embed himself into her body and would not let go no matter how she struggled.
People passing by looked at them with curiosity.
Xi Tong was really pissed. What did he mean by this? Seven years of no news, and then suddenly showing up after being slept with. He really fits his usual personality.
There is nothing else to do on every date except sleeping.
"Are you in heat after being slept with?"
Xi Tong slapped Yu Sixie mercilessly with her left hand.
The hand that was holding her finally loosened. No emotion could be seen in his bottomless pupils. Yu Sixie did not argue. There was a clear palm print on his right cheek.
Xitong squatted down, picked up the phone, and left immediately.
What bad luck.
Standing alone at the hospital entrance, Yu Sixie watched Xi Tong leave, oblivious to the nagging and gossip surrounding him. He licked the inside of his right cheek, finding a faint smell of blood.
This was the first time she had ever spanked him, except in bed.
Yu Sixie was not angry, but was thinking that the seven years were not in vain, and she was really different now.
…
Standing at the door, Xitong had calmed down.
A slap in the face was enough to teach him a lesson. She didn't bother with him.
Realizing that she had to tell Su Luyao that she had met Yu Sixie, she was in a dilemma.
It was only then that she realized how absurd what had just happened was.
She subconsciously stopped thinking, but that didn't mean her emotions didn't fluctuate.
The ex-boyfriend who hadn't seen her for seven years suddenly appeared.
Anyone would have thought too much, especially since they have a child.
After thinking of no less than a hundred excuses, Xitong still couldn't think of how to dispel Su Luyao's anger. She sighed and decided to just say it directly.
At 10:30 in the evening, after Xizhi went to bed.
In the living room, Xitong and Su Luyao, wearing the same pajamas, sat opposite each other. There were wine glasses on the coffee table, and the lavender-scented aroma emitted a soothing scent in the dim room.
Perhaps the expensive aromatherapy worked, Su Luyao did not get as furious as Xitong had imagined.
"Just let him know about Xiaozhi's existence."
Su Luyao didn't care what Yu Sixie did, she cared about Xitong and Xizhi.
Xitong breathed a sigh of relief silently.
She decided to replace all the aromatherapy in her home with this brand, the effect was so good.
"That's right."
Su Luyao suddenly thought of something.
"What's wrong?" Xi Tong's heart tightened.
Su Luyao frowned slightly, "Do you know where Yu Sixie lives? I'm afraid he'll run into Xiaozhi."
This is indeed a problem.
When I was in junior high school, Yu Sixie's family and Xi Tong's family could be considered neighbors. They lived in the next neighborhood, but at that time they had little interaction.
Xitong only found out about this after they resumed contact after the college entrance examination and Yu Sixie drove her home.
After going to college, Yu Sixie's parents moved to Beijing to settle down. It is not known whether the house in W City was sold.
So many years have passed, and she still doesn't know where he lives in W City.
Xitong pondered for a moment and took a sip of red wine. "He has mysophobia, so he definitely won't live in the old city. He'll probably live near the company. I'm sorry to bother you during this time. If Xiaozhi wants to go out and play, just take him around near home. Don't go too far."
"I'm trying to find out where he lives now so everyone can be at ease."
Su Luyao nodded. "What's the big deal? We're just friends."
Before I knew it, it was already past midnight.
All the lights in Mulan Garden were off, with only the first floor of Building 5 and the first floor of Building 1 still lit.
"Xiao Xi, what do you think of him now?"
Su Luyao and Xi Tong were both drunk, lying side by side on the soft haute couture blanket, just like when they were in college, squeezed together on the one-meter-wide bed in the dormitory.
"Nothing."
Xitong spoke frankly about his true thoughts.
Maybe she still has some resentment, but her heart is calm. When they meet again, they will be real strangers to each other.
Xitong turned sideways and looked at Su Luyao's profile.
Grandma's words lingered in my mind again.
Xitong was very glad that Su Luyao was by her side from the age of nineteen to twenty-nine, but she also knew that Su Luyao was not her possession, and one day she would have her own family.
Maybe she really should consider getting married.
Not to mention for himself, at least for Luyao.
…
Monday, conference room on the 21st floor of Haicheng Group.
Xitong's return to China gave the entire group a boost, and the board meeting was more grand than usual.
These are the major shareholders of the group, half of whom are from the Xi family.
Back then, because his father was in debt, these relatives helped Xitong's family a lot even though they were reluctant. After Xitong got the money, he not only paid off all the debts but also repaid the favors of these relatives.
People in W City are born to do business. They would rather be a boss than an employee.
They are much smarter than young Xitong, and they would rather invest than take money.
The other half are partners and investors in various industries. Xitong herself studied foreign languages, so she is a novice in any other field, not to mention the business sector.
This is also the reason why she has been studying abroad for so many years.
She knew she lacked a lot.
After all, apart from the koi physique mentioned by the fortune teller, she is just an ordinary person, unlike Yu Sixie, who was born into a noble family and received elite education in all aspects.
She is still in college, but he has already graduated from a top overseas business school.
Since it was a linguistics problem, he could help her solve it.
Now that she has returned to China, she has no plans to sit idle.
Xitong projected the project he had been planning for a long time onto the screen.
The board members who were originally drinking tea and chatting immediately lost their leisure and elegance after seeing the words on the screen.
She wants to invest in the medical field?
This is an area that Haicheng has never touched.
In W City, except for the public medical system, private medical projects are almost all monopolized by Lihe Group.
There was an uproar in the conference room, and everyone was whispering.
First, the people from the Xi family tried to dissuade Xi Tong.
"Boss Xi, the overall economic situation has been bad recently. This is normal. The group is also in a difficult situation. It's not easy for any of us."
Xitong didn't respond, but just looked at him.
This is her father's grandfather, the representative of the Xi family except her. It is said that after he became rich, he kept three female college students as mistresses.
Next are the remaining half of the investors from other industries. Their words are more straightforward, unlike the Xi family who received favors from Xi Tong and still showed some mercy.
"Not to mention that we don't have a team capable of undertaking this kind of project, where are you going to get the investment funds, which will be at least several billion yuan, President Xi?"
Someone in the audience whispered, "With President Xi's beauty, she can impress any man. Financing is a piece of cake."
Even Xitong's face turned cold at this time.
It would be fine if he said it behind her back, but to say it in the board meeting showed that he completely disregarded her.
Xitong never told anyone about the fortune teller except Su Luyao. Even if she did, no one would believe her. So until now, most people still think that the money and smooth career she has are obtained by "sleeping".
After all, she has no prominent background, no aura of strength, only a good-looking appearance.
According to them, she looks like a "mistress".
Just when Xitong was about to get angry, a familiar figure appeared outside the meeting room.
Yu Sixie's outfit today was completely different from the one he wore at the hospital entrance that day. He was wearing a suit and had a side-parted slicked-back hairstyle.
The slap mark on his cheek had completely faded.
Beneath the ascetic appearance lies a coveted substance.
This used to be Xitong’s favorite outfit.
She likes exquisite and beautiful things, and she likes the process of unpacking the beautiful packaging even more.
Taking a deep breath, Xitong regained her composure. She didn't know how long Yu Sixie had been waiting outside. She and he had clearly agreed to meet at 10:30.
She didn't want to make a fool of herself in front of him.
It's her own business.
"I'll take care of the funding, and I've already discussed the team cooperation with Lihe Group."
Xi Tong turned her head and deliberately nodded towards Yu Sixie outside the meeting room.
She didn't know how much he had heard, but since he came early, she didn't mind taking advantage of him.
The attention of the board members was immediately drawn to Yu Sixie.
With such outstanding appearance, one can tell at a glance that he is the rumored young master of Lihe Group who has been in Beijing for a long time. After he took over, he led Lihe Group to flourish in Beijing a few years ago, and his strength is obvious to all in the circle.
Until now, no one dared to question this young master, even though he was the same age as Xitong.
How come Mr. Yu, who has been in Beijing, suddenly appeared in Haicheng Group?
Could it be that behind Xitong's proposal is Lihe's suggestion?
Everyone instantly had a new perspective on this proposal.
Although Xi Tong's methods were "dirty", it is undeniable that she has brought the group to where it is today, and the projects she advocated have always made a lot of money.
Everyone changed their minds and expressed their support, but Xitong had to come up with a solution to the funding issue within a week.
At the same time, another guess emerged silently. They looked at Xi Tong and then at Yu Sixie.
Could it be that these two people are having an affair?
They are a good match. If Xi Tong really hooks up with Yu Sixie, things will be completely different.
But the Yu family would not agree to let their son marry a woman with a bad reputation whose parents committed suicide due to debt.
Xitong interrupted all speculations at the right time.
"The meeting is adjourned."
…
Yu Sixie looked around Xitong's almost empty office.
"What would you like to drink?"
Xi Tong was a little depressed. She wasn't too angry about the board's teasing, but it was not so comfortable for Yu Sixie to see it.
Shameful.
"Anything is fine."
He didn't seem to be paying attention to her, his eyes focused on the practical furnishings in the office, and he gave a casual answer.
Xitong secretly complained that the person only had eyes for work.
When they were dating, Xi Tong asked Yu Sixie what he wanted to drink, and he answered like this.
So she never knew whether Yu Sixie really didn't like to drink anything, or whether he was just like those good boyfriends on the Internet who always went along with his girlfriend and drank whatever she drank.
Even though he had doubts in his heart, Xitong would not ask for the sake of face.
She brought a can of coffee to Yu Sixie. It was the only one in the office and she had not had time to buy more since she had just returned to China.
The main reason why Yu Sixie came to see Xi Tong this time was to confirm the overall cooperation plan again. He did not trust what Yu Ziche was doing.
But more importantly, he wanted to see her.
After returning home from the hospital that day, he stayed awake all night.
In the medical field, Haicheng is a newcomer, but Lihe has been engaged in the industry for a long time and is well-known in the industry. It has no difficulty even working with a team that has no knowledge of the industry.
But why did she suddenly want to enter this field?
Judging from the board’s reaction, no one in the group supports her.
It can't be for him?
When this thought came to his mind, Yu Sixie was stunned.
"Grandma is sick."
Xi Tong had no idea what Yu Sixie was thinking, and poured a basin of cold water on his rare absurd idea.
She has wanted to improve the medical care in W City for a long time. Although the deaths of her grandparents, grandfather, and even her parents were caused by human factors, they were also related to the imperfect medical care in W City.
Private hospitals are expensive, but thanks to the support of the Lihe Group, their medical standards are among the best in the country.
But this is not the case for public hospitals serving the general public.
Ordinary people have no choice when they get sick.
Yu Sixie felt a tightness in his chest.
There was nothing much to say between the two of them. They had agreed to cut off contact when they broke up, and now there was even less to say.
Neither of them mentioned the slap in the face at the hospital gate that day or the absurdity that happened in Beijing that night.
All the details of the cooperation were confirmed very quickly.
"Are you having a social event tonight?"
Yu Sixie asked when signing.
Xitong wore a light green sleeveless dress today, revealing her slender arms. The satin texture was slightly shimmering with starlight, which was very suitable for spring.
All the long curly hair was tied up to reveal the slender neck and small ears.
It's definitely different from when I was in college.
She was no longer the college student who needed him to revise the format of her thesis, but the leader of a group who remained calm and composed even in the face of questioning and ridicule from a group of shrewd businessmen.
The traces of that night's romance have completely faded from Xitong.
Thinking of the scene that night, Yu Sixie's eyes darkened.
She didn't feel unfamiliar in bed. She was the same as she was seven years ago, or even more sensitive.
When he sucked on her most vulnerable spot, she immediately surrendered.
Make the groan of a spring cat.
Xitong didn't know what Yu Sixie was thinking. Since he didn't mention what happened in the board meeting just now, she felt that the two of them could still start getting along well again as partners.
"I have dinner with classmates tonight."
He ran his fingers over the pen she had held, as if that were another place where she would beg for mercy.
I asked in return, "Do classmates need to dress so nicely for dinner?"
Xi Tong didn't notice the difference in Yu Sixie's tone. If it were seven years ago, she would have immediately sensed something strange: how could Yu Sixie, who was emotionally indifferent and only cared about work, speak in such a tone?
He doesn't have the jealousy function.
"It's better to dress nicely for a blind date."
She spoke in a light tone, with two dimples at the corners of her mouth.
Yu Sixie wanted to help her solve the financial problem, but he swallowed it back in an instant.
