Wen Ying didn't know how she got back to the hotel.
She seemed to have slept for a while, but also seemed not to have slept.
Wen Ying promised Zhong Yong that she would not disturb Xie Yuping. The next morning, there was still no news from Xie Qian.
Wen Ying couldn't help but call Zhong Yong.
Zhong Yong didn't know where he was. The background noise was noisy at first, and then it was extremely quiet.
Zhong Yong's tone didn't sound heavy. He explained to Wen Ying, "It's a business matter. Mr. Xie went abroad last night. He wanted to tell you to reschedule the appointment, but his phone had problems... He should be abroad for a while."
What business matter requires Xie Qian to go abroad overnight?
Charles Schwab has no foreign operations.
The logistics company mainly develops in the Yangtze River Delta region and does not have much international logistics business.
Zhong Yongzhen would never lie!
Rather than saying that Xie Qian went abroad overnight to deal with a business problem, it would be better to say that Xie Qian knew the results of the DNA test and wanted to go abroad to obtain evidence. Sara Zhuo and her two children have already returned to China, and Zhang Zhijun still has business abroad. Could it be that Xie Qian went abroad to investigate Zhang Zhijun?
Zhong Yong might not have lied, but Zhong Yong didn't even know that Xie Qian was secretly doing a paternity test!
Xie Qian is arm wrestling with Zhang Zhijun!
In fact, this situation doesn't make sense. No matter how bad or urgent the situation is, Xie Qian would not leave Wen Ying in the restaurant without saying a word and let Wen Ying wait alone until the restaurant closes.
Xie Qian’s phone is broken. Could it be that the driver’s phone is also broken?
Even if the driver's mobile phone is broken, there is no shortage of roadside public telephones in Shanghai.
To take a step back, if you don’t have time to make a phone call on the way, there are phones at the airport.
Whether it is an international or domestic route, passengers will not be required to board the plane on time, and there is always some free time while waiting.
Zhong Yong's explanation was full of loopholes. Such obvious loopholes would be questioned by not only Wen Ying but even Li Mengjiao.
Wen Ying seemed relieved. "Is that so? I'm glad he's okay. When he returns, I'll make him pay for last night's dinner. Secretary Zhong, please judge for yourself. Who would act like Xie Qian? He made a dinner date with a girl, not only did he break it, but he also made her pay for it in the end... Luckily, I had my bank card in my wallet last night, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to leave the restaurant!"
Zhong remained silent, as if he didn't know how to comment on Xie Qian's behavior of standing him up.
After a long silence, Wen Ying hung up the phone.
That day, Wen Ying's phone kept ringing.
There were those who called Yuan Fenghui, Li Mengjiao, Wang Shuang, her homeroom teacher Lin Lin, and even Chen Ru.
Wen Ying answered the call, as if everyone knew that Xie Qian had stood her up.
Wen Ying replied to everyone that it was a small matter.
"It's just a meal, it's nothing, just make up for it."
Wen Ying was still wondering why Chen Ru was alarmed. Who was the big mouth who said that?
As expected, the college entrance examination was over. Manager Chen didn't care at all about Wen Ying's relationship with Xie Qian. Chen Ru was very concerned about Wen Ying's feelings.
"I'm fine."
In fact, Wen Ying hadn't eaten anything all day, but she didn't feel hungry at all.
In the evening, Wen Ying called Zou Weijun. "Auntie Zou, I heard from Secretary Zhong that Xie Qian went abroad and there was a problem with his phone. I don't know if his flight has landed. Do you have any news about him?"
Zou Weijun seemed to not know what to say.
After a silence of three or four seconds, Zou Weijun said softly, "It was indeed quite sudden. I want to apologize on Xie Qian's behalf for keeping you waiting for so long. Don't worry, his plane has landed safely. Once he gets a local phone card..."
"As long as he's safe, let him focus on his work first. I'm not in a hurry!"
Wen Ying interrupted Zou Weijun.
Without waiting for Zou Weijun to speak again, Wen Ying smiled and said, "Aunt Zou, don't worry. Even the biggest issues will eventually be dealt with. Xie Qian is abroad, so you have to take good care of yourself."
On the other end of the phone, Zou Weijun seemed to be choking, and it seemed like Wen Ying was having an illusion.
Maybe because she didn't get enough rest last night, Wen Ying was in a trance the whole day, so it's not surprising that she had tinnitus and auditory hallucinations.
Time stretched out, like the tail of a machine when it stops, long and sticky. After a long silence, Wen Ying finally waited for Zou Weijun's answer:
"I can take care of myself. I know you've always been more mature than your peers, so you can take care of yourself too, right?"
"Of course! I still have a lot of things to do, publishing house events, my new book, Tianjiao's work, I'm almost busy to death! Although I don't know how long Xie Qian will be busy abroad, I think he should come back when the university starts, right?"
Wen Ying talked to herself, and without waiting for Zou Weijun to answer, she said that she was going to write a new book and would talk to Zou Weijun in detail another day.
After hanging up the phone, Wen Ying opened her laptop.
The Word document contains the outline of the first edition of Wen Ying's new book that she wrote these days.
The first book in the Nine Cauldrons series is "Searching for Yong", which tells the story of the "Yongzhou Cauldron". For the second book, Wen Ying wants to write about the "Jingzhou Cauldron". She has discussed it with Editor-in-Chief Ding of the Magic City Literature and Art Publishing House, and the tentative title is "Exploring Jing"... She had an idea originally, but now looking at the first version of the outline, Wen Ying's mind is blank.
This can't be done.
Xie Qian’s breaking of the appointment was Xie Qian’s own fault, and I couldn’t lose my job.
Writing novels is not only Wen Ying's dream, but also her biggest job at the moment.
She even stopped writing novels. Not only did she give up her dream again, she also ruined her job - she had to make money by writing novels, make a lot of money, and gain great fame. Although having money and fame might not be of any use, having no money and no fame would certainly not help.
