Miss you
Wen Zheng said nothing.
Xia Tangyue supported his hands on his sides and looked down at him: "What's wrong?"
Wen Zheng sat up straight, bent his long legs slightly, his sharp eyes became serious, and he hugged Xia Tangyue closer.
"Tang Yue."
Xia Tangyue was stunned. This was the first time she heard Wen Zheng calling her name, and she felt a little dazed.
Wen Zheng said: "I don't want you to have conflicts with your family because of me."
"But..." Thinking of the prejudice and harsh comments from his family towards Wen Zheng, Xia Tangyue couldn't help but stand up for him: "They don't know the real you at all. Why do they judge you so arbitrarily? Those words... I feel worse than being scolded."
Wen Zheng smiled faintly and scratched her nose with the back of his finger: "Don't take it to heart. Think about it from another angle. In your father's eyes, I am an unemployed vagrant, my brother is still in school, my legs and feet are not convenient, and there is not even an elder at home who can help me." He paused, a trace of self-mockery flashed in his eyes, "With such conditions, if it were me, I would probably worry that my daughter would suffer with me."
It is undeniable that Wen Zheng's words have some truth to them, but Wen Zheng is not a fool. How could he not see that her parents wanted to use her marriage to exchange for the benefits of a business marriage? The reason he said this was because he took into account her situation and feelings and did not want her to have too much trouble with her family.
Xia Tangyue pursed her lips, feeling touched, and threw herself into Wen Zheng's arms, muttering, "Brother Xiong is so nice." Then she tilted her face up and kissed him.
"Let's eat." Wen Zheng pulled her to sit on the sofa.
Xia Tangyue opened the insulated lunch box. She had specially asked the hotel to prepare today's dish. It was Wen Zheng's favorite steamed sea bass with crab meat and tofu. The fish was carefully sprinkled with green onion shreds, and the tofu was so tender that it melted in the mouth.
Thinking of the harsh and contemptuous attitude of her family towards Wen Zheng, Xia Tangyue felt uncomfortable and lost her appetite. Wen Zheng glanced at her and gave her a piece of perch belly meat with the bones removed. Seeing that she was still looking bitter, Wen Zheng pressed his thumb on her forehead.
"If you keep frowning like that, you'll turn into an old lady, my silly sister."
"I have already informed the supplier, and will take care of your business in the future." Wen Zheng glanced at her tenderly, "For the sake of interests, your father will be polite to me, don't worry."
Xia Tangyue was slightly surprised. Only then did she know that Wen Zheng had done these things behind her back.
As they were eating, there was some subtle noise coming from the corridor outside. Wen Zimo pushed the door open, looking a little embarrassed, "Boss Wen, Li Fu is here with the engineers from the center, and he wants to see you."
Xia Tangyue knew Li Fu. He was the second son of Li Cang, the chairman of LUMINOVA Group, the senior project manager of the battery technology research and development center, and the half-brother of Wen Zheng.
It's already past six o'clock, and the engineers are not leaving work or working overtime, but are coming to the president's office to block him? No matter how you think about it, this has an unusual meaning.
Wen Zheng looked calm and it seemed that he knew why Li Fu came.
Considering that Sang Wenshu, who was in charge of R&D, was suddenly transferred back to Beijing, Xia Tangyue vaguely understood something.
Wen Zheng stood up, and Wen Zimo immediately understood and opened the door for him. The noisy R&D staff fell silent at the same time when they saw Wen Zheng, and then called him "President Wen" in a low voice.
In the middle of the crowd, a man wearing black-framed glasses and a neat black suit attracted Xia Tangyue's attention.
He had a gloomy face, and his attitude towards Wen Zheng was not as respectful and humble as others, but rather showed a hidden hostility. People around him would occasionally look back and forth between him and Wen Zheng.
Oh. He is Li Fu. He looked unconvinced. It seems that Wen Zheng's return to Yaoying had a great impact on him.
"Brother, I'll go back first." Xia Tangyue said.
Wen Zheng nodded slightly and walked into the office. Wen Zimo said, "I'll take you there."
The two came to the underground garage, and Wen Zimo asked if he wanted to take her to the Ping'an of Bojiang River.
Xia Tangyue thought about it and decided that he should go home.
Wen Zimo nodded and said, "Okay. I'll take you there first, and then I'll go back to the company to pick up Brother Zheng. He shouldn't be that far away."
Li Fu's face was livid, and it looked like something serious had happened. Xia Tangyue asked, "Why is he here? Is he trying to force the emperor to abdicate?"
Wen Zimo sneered, "He is nothing but a chicken feather. He is forcing the emperor to abdicate. Brother Zheng is looking for R&D talents all over the world to set up a new R&D center. Isn't he anxious? If this happens, his position in the group will be lost."
Xia Tang understood it clearly, but still didn't quite understand, so he continued to ask, "Isn't Li Fu also Li Cang's son? He can be considered the crown prince, right?"
Wen Zimo shook his head: "How should I put it... It's a little complicated. You know, Zhengge is Li Cang's eldest son, and Zhengge's mother and Li Cang are the original couple. Li Yao was born to his second wife, so he is legitimate. Li Fu is different. He was born to Li Cang's secretary, and his mother was Li Cang's lover. He was not taken home until he reached adulthood and Li Cang's second wife died."
"Normally, for a large group like this, the heir should be trained from a young age. But this Li Yao is just a second-generation rich man, and there is no way to help him get promoted. Li Fu wanted to get promoted, so he entered the core R&D department of Yaoying, intending to control the lifeblood of the company from the R&D end and take the position of president."
"In the end, the plan failed and Zheng Ge came back. He must be so angry with Zheng Ge that his teeth are itching."
"Oh..." Xia Tangyue stretched out his tone and suddenly understood.
Wen Zimo continued: "And more."
While the car was waiting for the red light, he turned his head to look at Xia Tangyue and lowered his voice: "Brother Zheng suspects that the car accident was planned by him and is secretly investigating him."
Xia Tangyue's eyes widened, feeling that everything made sense - Li Fu knew that Li Cang had always approved of Wen Zheng, and was worried that he would make a comeback one day, so he simply took the initiative and hired someone to kill someone, and then framed Li Yao, so that he could kill two birds with one stone!
If this is true, Li Fu is too insidious and terrifying.
"You don't have to worry too much." Wen Zimo started again, "Once Brother Zheng has reorganized the R&D team, he will find a reason to kick him out."
Having said that, the iteration of the technical team is a difficult process, and Wen Zheng doesn’t know how much criticism he will receive in the process.
Xia Tangyue's mood darkened and he looked out the window gloomily.
Back home. As Xia Tangyue guessed, Zhao Guanyu had already told his family what she had said.
Xia Xiucheng and Zhuang Ziwen were talking about something when they saw Xia Tangyue coming back. They were both stunned.
Xia Tang jumped over them and prepared to go upstairs to her room. Xia Xiucheng shouted unnaturally from behind: "Wait, wait a minute."
Since the last slap incident, Xia Tangyue hasn't had a serious conversation with his family for a long time.
She stopped and stood at the stairs. Her parents were looking at her from behind the sofa.
Zhuang Ziwen patted the seat next to him and said, "Tangtang, come and sit down. Mom and Dad want to ask you something."
Xia Tangyue went over as he was told and sat next to Zhuang Ziwen. "What's wrong?"
Zhuang Ziwen and Xia Xiucheng looked at each other.
Xia Xiucheng coughed lightly: "You and Wen Zheng are now..."
Xia Tangyue asked back: "Why are you asking about him? Didn't you always want me to not have any contact with him?"
Zhuang Ziwen: "I heard from the Zhao family that Wen Zheng has returned to Yaoying. Is that true?"
Xia Tangyue nodded: "Yes. What else did they say?"
"He also said he saw you and Wen Zheng together." Xia Xiucheng said bluntly, "Is that true?"
"Yes." Xia Tangyue stood up. Thinking of Wen Zheng's words, she opened her mouth but said nothing more.
Unexpectedly, Xia Xiucheng did not show any anger when he heard this answer, but instead sighed softly.
“No wonder.”
"Hmm?" Xia Tangyue was a little confused.
Xia Xiucheng said: "No wonder I have been receiving new energy orders recently. I thought it was because of the social events I attended recently."
Xia Tangyue was silent for a moment, wanting to say that Wen Zheng was sincere to her, but in the end she turned around and went upstairs.
Her parents' prejudice against Wen Zheng was deeply rooted and would not be shaken so quickly. She knew their stubbornness too well. The sensor lights in the stairwell lit up and went out one by one with her footsteps. She took out her cell phone and saw on the screen the electronic invitation letter sent by Wen Zheng ten minutes ago - the Global New Energy Industry Ecological Summit.
Wen Zheng: "Will you go with me?"
