Miss you
After taking a shower, Xia Tangyue lay on the bed with dazed eyes. He originally planned to rest for a while and wait for Wen Zheng to come back, but he didn't expect to fall asleep as soon as he closed his eyes.
Three thirty in the morning.
She was awakened by thirst. She opened her eyes slowly and found that Wen Zheng had not returned yet, so she called him immediately.
"Brother?" Xia Tangyue leaned against the head of the bed, "Why haven't you come back yet?"
There was a murmur of conversation coming from the other end of the phone, and there seemed to be the crisp sound of glasses clinking.
"I'll be busy for a while." Wen Zheng found a quiet place and answered, "Just go to sleep and don't wait for me."
Xia Tangyue pouted sullenly, "But it's already past three in the morning, what are you still busy with? I'm going to France tomorrow, and you said you would celebrate my birthday."
Wen Zheng rubbed his brows, his voice was tired but still gentle: "I need a chip developed by the Thermo-X team of the Swiss Institute of Technology in Lausanne. Their technology can solve Yaoying's biggest safety hazard. Don't worry, my brother will solve the problem as quickly as possible."
Xia Tangyue sighed, crawled into bed, and looked at the ceiling in confusion.
The higher you stand, the greater the pressure. My brother is no longer the brother he used to be. He is the helmsman who shoulders the direction of the entire group.
She fell into a drowsy sleep again. She didn't know how long it had been before she heard very light footsteps with the muffled sound of leather soles rubbing against the carpet.
After a while, the bed beside her sank slightly, and a pair of big hands held her in their arms, and the familiar scent of cedar surrounded her.
"Brother..." Xia Tangyue muttered and leaned into Wen Zheng's arms.
He had just taken a shower and was still damp, with a faint smell of alcohol.
"You're back. Did you make the deal?"
Wen Zheng hugged her and lay down on the bed, his voice hoarse: "It's settled, we can sign the letter of intent anytime, go to sleep, baby."
After the summit, delegations from various countries and corporate executives began their return journey.
The plane to France takes off at eight o'clock tonight. Xia Tangyue made an appointment with Wen Zheng that she would go home to pack her luggage and meet up at the airport tonight.
Yaoying headquarters building.
A huge line of luxury cars drove into the parking lot one after another.
——President’s Office.
Wen Zimo answered a call outside the door, and came back with a frown and lowered his voice to Wen Zheng: "The chairman is here, and he requires all senior executives above the director level in each business unit around the world to be present. Li Fu is here too."
"Yes." Wen Zheng said, "Notify Duanmu Yu as well."
"good."
After coming out of the office, Wen Zimo contacted Duanmu Yu as he was told. He saw Li Cang sitting in a wheelchair being pushed at the other end of the corridor, with several foreign executives beside him.
Seeing this, he couldn't help but worry for Wen Zheng. This was a struggle session against Wen Zheng.
Li Cang wanted to rely on Wen Zheng's ability to revitalize the market that Yaoying had lost, but he was afraid of losing control over Wen Zheng.
As soon as Wen Zheng took office, he took drastic measures and kicked out the strategic director Li Pan. He then gathered top experts from the Swiss Institute of Technology in Lausanne, MIT and the Chinese Academy of Sciences to establish a new research and development center. This combination of punches has completely broken the original factional balance of Yaoying. Naturally, Li Cang admired him but was also wary of him.
Xia Tangyue didn't know what Wen Zheng was going through. She first went to the art museum to explain to Xiaoyu the work for the next few days, then went back home, packed her luggage, and waited to fly to France tonight.
But she waited and waited but Wen Zheng never showed up.
As time was running out, she tried to call Wen Zheng but couldn't get through.
Eight o'clock.
The flight to France took off from Terminal T2 of the international airport and leaped into the sky.
Xia Tangyue faced the smooth floor-to-ceiling glass of the airport, feeling hopeless and angry. She tightly gripped her cell phone and called him over and over again, but all she heard from the receiver was a cold and formulaic female voice.
She sat on the stainless steel bench chair at the airport, her hands stiff, watching the time pass by.
Her brother promised to accompany her to France to celebrate her birthday, why did he break the promise without saying a word?
Xia Tangyue became angrier and angrier as she thought about it. She planned to go directly to Yaoying to find him, but the news headline that popped up on the top of her phone stunned her.
"Yaoying Technology and Far West Qianjin have in-depth discussions, and a 100 billion-level solid-state battery alliance may be born"
Clicking on the news link, the accompanying picture shows a photo of Wen Zheng and the executives attending the summit after his speech. However, the report deliberately cut out other characters, leaving only the picture of Wen Zheng and Wu Yihe standing side by side.
The content of the news was even more explosive, hinting that Wen Zheng and Wu Yihe had had an ambiguous relationship, and that the two would attend the groundbreaking ceremony of the Yaoying Lingang Super Factory together. Looking at the publisher of the news, it was even forwarded by Yaoying's official overseas account.
Xia Tangyue was so furious that his rationality was completely burned.
Wen Zheng is the person in charge of Yaoying. Without his approval, the group’s official account would never forward such news without authorization.
In other words, this story is true, but its authenticity is questionable, and it is half true and half false.
The comments below are full of praise.
"Fuck, the president of Yaoying Greater China is so handsome, are they still hiring? I'm willing to go to the president's office and serve him tea and water every day as an assistant."
"He's only 30 years old and he's already the president and executive director, and he's also a Celestial Dragon."
"Go back upstairs. If you get to know him a little better, you will know that Mr. Wen is not a Tianlong. He has worked hard on his own to get to where he is today. PS: I am a former employee of Yaoying. Mr. Wen is a hundred times more handsome in person than in the photo."
"Doesn't anyone think these two are a perfect match?"
"..."
Xia Tangyue came to Yaoying carrying a suitcase.
It was already past ten o'clock in the evening, but the entire building was still brightly lit. The girl at the front desk was yawning and drinking coffee to stay awake.
The elevator made a "ding" sound. The receptionist immediately sat up straight after hearing the sound. Xia Tangyue looked towards the source. Li Cang was pushed out first in a wheelchair, followed by a group of people in suits and ties. Wu Yihe was among them, and they were chatting with Li Cang as they walked.
Wen Zheng followed behind with a cold face, his deep eyes revealing a hint of anger and murderous aura, making people around him dare not look directly at him. Even their breathing became lighter unconsciously. Several young employees even subconsciously took a half step back to the wall to make a wider path for him.
Xia Tangyue watched them from afar. This scene was like a carefully focused close-up of a business trip. It was as if there was an invisible barrier of fame and fortune that separated her and Wen Zheng into two different worlds.
She involuntarily tightened the handle of the suitcase, as if this could help her grasp the last bit of security.
Li Cang, Wu Yihe, and a group of senior executives drove away.
Wen Zheng stood at the door, holding a half-burned cigarette between his slender fingers. The entourage immediately stepped forward with a crystal ashtray and respectfully caught the ash he flicked.
"Boss Wen, that person over there seems to be your girlfriend?"
Someone shouted, and Wen Zheng immediately turned around to look. Xia Tangyue's eyes were red and tears were welling up in her eyes.
He quickly threw the unfinished cigarette in his hand into the ashtray, took two quick steps towards her, annoyance flashing in his eyes, "I..."
Warm tears silently rolled down her cheeks, soaking her collarbone. Xia Tangyue choked and said, "I waited for you at the airport all night. Why didn't you answer the phone? What did you promise me?"
Wen Zheng looked up at the moon, his heart aching with guilt. He reached out to pull Xia Tangyue into his arms, but she suddenly moved sideways to avoid him.
"Sorry, I have too much to do today to check my phone."
He bent down slightly to be at eye level with Xia Tangyue, and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with the back of his fingers: "Stop crying, okay? It's all your brother's fault."
Xia Tangyue glared at him with red eyes, "Okay, I didn't answer the phone because I was too busy. Then what's the news about? Why did the media say that you and Wu Yihe had an ambiguous relationship? Why did they say that you were going to attend the event together?"
Wen Zheng frowned: "What news?"
Xia Tangyue took out his cell phone and showed it to him.
Wen Zheng's face was cold. He immediately called the director of the public relations department and said in a gloomy voice: "Immediately remove the information related to Wu Yihe and issue a statement to the public. I have no relationship with Wu Yihe. No media shall reprint such rumors without verification."
"But..." The director of the public relations department said in an awkward voice: "The chairman..."
Wen Zheng: "I give you two choices. Either do as I say, or pack up and get out now."
"Yes, yes, Mr. Wen." The director of the public relations department said hurriedly, "I will tell my people to follow up immediately. Don't worry, there will be no more news about you and Wu Yihe in the future."
Wen Zheng reached out and rubbed the tip of her nose. Xia Tangyue's red nose matched her tearful expression. She said aggrievedly, "I have nothing to do with Wu Yihe. The news was instigated by Li Cang. He wanted to force me to accept the marriage with Yuanxi Group in this way. He wanted to control me in this way."
Xia Tangyue blinked. Wen Zheng's behavior dispelled her doubts. In addition, Li Cang, the chairman of the board, had just left, which meant that Wen Zheng must have been busy all day and was only now free.
"Don't cry, be good." Wen Zheng took her hand, took her luggage with his other hand, and took her to the elevator.
"It was my fault for breaking the promise. I promise to make it up to you later."
Xia Tangyue remained silent until he reached the next floor. Duanmu Yu came towards him. He was in a hurry and didn't even see Xia Tangyue behind Wen Zheng.
"A Zheng, are you really going to America?"
Xia Tangyue's heart trembled and he looked up at Wen Zheng's back.
Duanmu Yu continued, "The headquarters is full of old foxes, you..." As he was speaking, he suddenly caught sight of Xia Tangyue right behind Wen Zheng, and he abruptly changed the subject: "You should rest early, I'll go back first."
Duanmu Yu picked up the suit jacket on the back of the chair and left in a hurry.
Xia Tangyue sat on the sofa and looked at Wen Zheng: "What does he mean by going to America?"
Wen Zheng hesitated for a moment, then said, "I'm going to the United States for a while."
He looked at Xia Tangyue seriously: "Only in this way can we completely solve the problems of those who want to hinder me. The headquarters of LUMINOVA Group is in New York, USA. I need to reorganize the R&D system and gain complete control."
Xia Tangyue's heart sank inch by inch, and his voice trembled slightly: "You went to the United States, what should I do?"
This will mean that she will not be able to be with Wen Zheng every day in the future. There is a twelve-hour time difference between them, and even video calls have to be made at the time between dawn and dusk. When she misses him, she can't just throw herself into his arms and act coquettishly. Even if they want to quarrel, they have to wait until the other wakes up.
She has parents and her own career in this city, and she can't give up everything to follow Wen Zheng.
