Seventy-six stars
Lin Tang raised his eyebrows and said nonchalantly, "He's the one who wants the fire to burn more fiercely. What makes you think I think the same?"
"You two were husband and wife, after all. Are you really so done with your relationship? Besides, you can't even give a reason for divorce. Doesn't that mean you've never subconsciously considered divorce at all?"
Although both of them unilaterally told him that they were not divorced, given the current situation, he was more willing to believe Lin Tang's initial statement.
After all, the two of them had truly separated at that time, and had hardly seen each other again, and their initial words must have been the purest.
Now that the two meet again, the restlessness in their hearts is inevitably aroused, and it is understandable that they would tell some lies.
But he still didn't understand: "You two are really weird. You clearly still have feelings for each other, so why did you get divorced? And then you want to get back together, just for the experience?"
Lin Tang knew he still didn't believe they had never divorced, but explaining it was too much of a hassle, so he simply replied sullenly, "I'm too lazy to communicate with you."
After all, she was like a savior to him now, so Zhao Yingxun smiled flatteringly and said softly, "So?"
Lin Tang glanced at him and said hesitantly, "Just let him nod and sign?"
Seeing that he had found a solution, Zhao Yingxun nodded vigorously and said "hmm".
"If he still doesn't agree..." Lin Tang asked again, looking at him with his arms folded.
"Then forget it. I'll find another way."
After a moment of silence, Lin Tang finally said "hmm", which meant he agreed.
She looked up at the wall clock and saw that it was already past the end of the working day, so she stood up to leave.
Seeing this, Zhao Yingxun hurriedly said, "You haven't eaten yet, right? I'll treat you as a thank you gift."
Before Feng Chibai signed the contract, Lin Tang treated him as his ancestor and had to appease him.
Lin Tang didn't refuse.
In the restaurant.
Thinking of something, Lin Tang said while eating, "Hey, you have to communicate the time and place with him in advance. I'm just responsible for being there."
Zhao Yingxun made a "salute" gesture and quickly said, "Don't worry, I'll communicate right away."
After saying that, he immediately took out his cell phone and called Feng Chibai.
When the call was connected, Lin Tang heard a vague "Hello" from the other end. Because he wanted to hear what he said specifically, Lin Tang couldn't help but sit next to Zhao Yingxun with his ear almost touching his phone.
Zhao Yingxun cleared his throat and said with determination, "Director Feng, it's me, Xiao Zhao."
"What's the matter?" The person on the other end seemed to be still handling official business, his voice was cold and a bit nonchalant.
Zhao Yingxun got straight to the point and said, "As for the contract, I've already finalized it. Do you think you're free on Saturday morning? You bring the money and I'll bring the people. Let's meet up."
There was a sudden silence on the other side.
Thinking he was going to go back on his word, Zhao Yingxun was about to speak when he heard a light laugh, and even his tone softened: "Can you get up?"
"Me?" Zhao Yingxun said, confused. "Of course I can. For the sake of my career, I'm willing to sacrifice some sleep."
But the next second, he heard the other side say word by word: "Lin Tang."
Hearing this, Lin Tang quickly gestured to him, indicating that it would be after ten o'clock.
"Oh? Oh! Ten o'clock is totally fine." Zhao Yingxun said to the person on the other end of the phone.
"Then see you at ten o'clock." Feng Chibai's voice was still smiling, and it seemed more like he was greeting someone through the phone.
After hanging up the phone, Zhao Yingxun gave Lin Tang an "OK" sign. But then he asked thoughtfully, "Can you really get up? Don't oversleep."
Lin Tang sat back in his seat and muttered dissatisfiedly, "Don't look down on me. My biological clock is very accurate now."
Zhao Yingxun had to believe it even if he didn't want to, so he casually said, "I'll take you back later."
Lin Tang gestured to stop him. "No, I don't like too many people knowing where I live."
"You're afraid that I'll come to your house and wake you up on Saturday," said Zhao Yingxun.
Lin Tang glared at him and said, "I told you to stop looking down on me."
After the meal, she finally insisted on going back by herself.
Just as she was approaching the gate of the community, she suddenly noticed a familiar person standing not far away.
The man also noticed her and now looked straight at her.
It would seem a bit deliberate to go back at this point, so Lin Tang pretended to be natural and walked towards the original route.
When she reached him, she stopped and looked at him puzzledly: "Why are you here?"
Feng Chibai's lips curled up, and his tone was gentle: "I originally thought you had returned a long time ago, but just now I suddenly felt that if I came here at this time, maybe I would have a chance to see you."
Lin Tang paused: "See me...why?"
"Just to make an impression." Feng Chibai said frankly.
Suddenly, she noticed that a little snow had fallen at the roots of her hair. Now the snow was slowly melting, the water was thawing. But because it was so cold, the temperature at the roots of her hair was the same as the surrounding area, so she didn't notice it.
Feng Chibai took out a tissue from his pocket and raised his hand to help her wipe the wetness.
Lin Tang froze for a moment, then, when she came to her senses, she suddenly grabbed his hand. She avoided his gaze, took the paper from his hand, and said unsteadily, "I'll wipe it myself."
After the piece of paper had served its purpose, she crumpled it into her palm. She glanced at him frantically and reminded him, "Now that we've met, you can go back."
Feng Chi's eyes dimmed, and he said softly, "Don't you want to see me?"
Seeing his slightly lost expression, Lin Tang's guilt was inexplicably aroused. He faltered and explained, "Not really, but... don't you think it would be strange for us to meet, given our current relationship?"
"You're the one who feels strange." Feng Chibai stared at him, his eyes suddenly filled with joy. "Lin Tang, you're starting to waver."
Unable to tell whether he was resisting or being hit by what she said, Lin Tang subconsciously wanted to escape. She shoved the tissue into his hand and said, "Give it back to you."
When he turned around and took a few steps, he suddenly realized that he had just thrown a piece of garbage to him. He gritted his teeth and turned back, but he hadn't left yet.
She kept her head down to avoid his sight, grabbed the paper she had thrown to him, and said sullenly, "I'll throw it away myself."
*
Saturday, in the office on the top floor of Luochen Group.
Feng Chibai was sitting leisurely in his office chair, looking at documents. Chen Zheng and Ye Xincheng were sitting on the sofa nearby. Noticing that Feng Chibai hadn't even paid any attention to him, Chen Zheng couldn't help but say, "Dude, you're working overtime on the weekend. You're so dedicated."
The two had originally planned to take advantage of the weekend to invite Feng Chibai out for a drink, but he was dismissed with the excuse that he had something to do. Unconvinced, they chased after Luo Chen, determined to see if he was lying, and then watched him read documents for nearly an hour.
Feng Chibai curled his lips and looked up at the time on the wall. It was almost ten o'clock.
He sighed calmly, looking in a good mood: "It's not really dedication, it's a benefit."
The two people on the sofa frowned in tacit understanding. Ye Xincheng couldn't help but curse: "Are you crazy about work or are you crazy?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a sound suddenly came from the corridor outside the door, coming from far away and getting closer.
"How can I be late? I usually arrive at work on time. Isn't it even ten o'clock?"
"We are the second party, and we should have our own attitude. If we keep the first party waiting for too long, what if they get angry and turn the table?"
"Stop, you're Party B, not me. Besides, Party A's temper isn't that bad, is it?"
When Feng Chibai caught the last sentence, his smile visibly deepened.
The moment the door opened, Chen Zheng and Ye Xincheng looked over out of curiosity. However, when they saw who was coming, they were stunned.
They were not the only ones who were stunned.
Lin Tang paused and whispered to Zhao Yingxun, "Your project is quite important, huh? It requires so many people to discuss it together."
Zhao Yingxun was confused. He seemed to have only made an appointment with Feng Chibai, so he mumbled, "Does your ex-husband think so highly of me?"
When everyone arrived, Feng Chibai first said to the two people on the sofa: "I have something to do, if..."
But before he could finish his words, Chen Zheng immediately said with his chest lowered, "Understood, let's retreat."
When their figures crossed, they tactfully called out to Lin Tang, "Hello, sister-in-law."
Lin Tang didn't find it strange when they knew the situation, but Zhao Yingxun's head was buzzing. What was going on? Why did they also think that the two had not divorced yet?
But on second thought, it was understandable. The two of them got along well with Feng Chibai, so naturally they wouldn't think that Feng Chibai would lie to them and would believe whatever he said.
As he approached Lin Tang, he was about to call out "Director Feng" with a smile, but he was caught off guard by a voice saying, "You should get out first too."
Zhao Yingxun was stunned for a moment, then reacted in an instant. He quickly stuffed the document into Lin Tang's hand and whispered in her ear, "I'm relying on you. If all else fails, we can use the honey trap."
"You are sick..." However, before Lin Tang could finish his words, Zhao Yingxun disappeared in a flash.
Suddenly, there were only two people left in the huge office.
After exchanging a glance, Lin Tang turned away first, spreading the signature page of the document in front of Feng Chibai. Now that he had truly become the second party, Lin Tang still handed him a pen and said, "Sign it."
But Feng Chibai didn't sign after taking the pen. Instead, he flipped to the first page and read the contents from the beginning. Then, he suddenly asked, "What is the core concept of your project?"
Lin Tang was sitting comfortably on the sofa when he was inexplicably asked this question. He couldn't hide the shock in his eyes: "You? No, you're asking me? The one who can answer your question has been kicked out by you."
She had never even taken a look at it, nor had she even heard Zhao Yingxun say a word.
Her brows suddenly furrowed. Didn’t they agree to sign the document? Why was he deliberately making things difficult for her?
However, Feng Chibai didn't ask any further questions. It was as if he suddenly felt like teasing her, but he knew when to stop and said, "It was just a joke."
Lin Tang leaned back slackly, glanced at the table in front of him, then glanced at the desk in front of him, and suddenly asked, "Do you have any water here?"
Feng Chibai followed her gaze and said, "I'm sorry for the poor hospitality."
Then he notified his assistant to bring in two glasses of water.
Because he was thirsty, Lin Tang finished his drink quickly. However, another cup was placed in front of him. Lin Tang glanced at him with a puzzled look in his eyes.
Feng Chibai explained: "I haven't drunk it yet."
Without waiting for her to say anything, he turned around and sat back in his seat and continued to look through the documents.
What I thought could be resolved within a minute lasted for nearly half an hour and there was still no result.
However, Lin Tang could also understand that after all, it was a matter involving the interests of both parties, so naturally he had to review it more carefully.
After another long wait, Lin Tang became restless and stood up to walk around his office aimlessly.
Suddenly she felt her phone vibrate, and she clicked it to see what was happening.
Zhao Yingxun: [Hasn’t it been settled yet?]
Sui Sui: [He's still reading the document. You finished more than ten pages in one go. How could it be that fast?]
Zhao Yingxun: [That shouldn't be the case. He's already seen the original version, and I haven't changed much.]
Sui Sui: [Maybe he’s afraid you’ve tampered with this.]
Zhao Yingxun: [I'm not capable of such a thing with my brain [happy]]
Lin Tang was about to reply when a voice suddenly rang out from behind him: "The weather is quite nice today. I just happened to be given two tickets to a play. Do you want to go and see it together?"
The moment he turned around, he happened to meet Feng Chibai's gaze.
