Chapter 50 Chapter 50
After lighting a fire and not taking responsibility to clean it up, Liang Sinan ignored Yue Hui's questions and An Jiyue's weak explanation and went straight back to his room.
Perhaps he expected a heated argument between the two. Yue Hui would get to the bottom of things and then earnestly persuade her to let go of her obsession. An Jiyue, however, was probably a stubborn person; once she decided on something, she would see it through.
But maybe there will be a turning point? Liang Sinan leaned against the door and sighed. He originally thought he had a lot of chips.
He and she had been childhood sweethearts, had been by her side through the most difficult times, and had even become heavily involved in her family's business. He was still the head of Anshi Capital's overseas operations...
But she rejected him without hesitation and mercilessly, and then avoided him, as if blaming him for being abrupt.
Perhaps Yue Hui could convince her. But Liang Sinan didn't know that the moment the door closed, they seemed to have automatically turned on noise reduction mode. The entire living room and the dining room were silent and deserted.
Yue Hui stared at her with a complicated and heavy expression for a while, then shifted his gaze back to the screen and continued to review the unfinished plan.
An Jiyue stood up and washed the bone china bowl, then walked to the floor-to-ceiling window with her arms folded, standing there for a long time with her thin figure.
Ever since An Jiuyue insisted on returning to China, Yue Hui also came back to restart Anshi's domestic business. They worked hard in their respective fields every day and were exhausted when they returned home, so they gradually developed this way of getting along.
If one person does not ask, the other person will not answer. Or if one person does not confide, the other person will never say much.
Even when they were curled up on the sofa, An Jiyue would be hunched over her laptop, editing a script while Yuehui would go through the project report page by page. On the coffee table sat an iced American coffee and a Jin Jun Mei. When it was time for dinner, they would order takeout from the private chef.
At this moment, Yue Hui was forbearingly and respectfully silent. An Jiyue had her back to her, but she was uneasy.
She always felt that she shouldn't hide it from Yue Hui, but after all, it was just a trivial matter that could be explained with just a few words: "I'm in love."
"Lu Ye and I..." An Jiyue said abruptly, "We decided to give it another try."
She chose her words carefully, blinking and observing Yuehui's reaction.
But Yue Hui just stared at her for a few seconds, as if to confirm her seriousness, and then replied lightly: "Yeah, I see."
Ever since An Jiyue burst into her room early that morning to recount her reunion with her ex-boyfriend on a TV show, Yue Hui had been conducting a background check on the hottest new star in the industry. Whether through physical evidence or rumors, she hadn't found any evidence to support her claims.
The one who had some complaints was Lu Ye's former department head, who said that when he first entered the industry, he was too bookish, arrogant, and sometimes not very understanding of human nature.
But he became much more sensible later on. The leader added that although he was not as good as the old man who had been around for a long time, he was still much better than himself.
It was already a rare and precious person, and he was also bound to her, so Yue Hui had nothing to say in his heart. But at this moment, Liang Sinan opened his mouth and even moved his heart.
"Is this the reason why you resolutely refuse to help him?" Yue Hui glanced at the closed door.
An Jiyue was puzzled: "No. Didn't I say I don't like him? Besides, I didn't refuse to help - how could I refuse Brother Nan? It's just that marriage is not an option. I can help him find the best lawyer..."
"But what he needs is someone to marry."
An Jiyue's eyes flickered slightly, and she lacked confidence: "Then I will help him find someone who is absolutely reliable. Sign an agreement and eliminate all risks."
Yue Hui smiled helplessly: "Have you read too many domineering novels? This is a serious matter. Liang Sinan would never find an unrelated person to fake a marriage. If there is any mistake, the Liang Group may be handed over to someone else. He has been abroad for many years and has no connection with the people here. There are indeed not many candidates to consider. I guess he must be very heartbroken now. He may think that you will agree without saying anything..."
An Jiyue was puzzled: "He really wants to take back the Liang Group? He has never mentioned it before."
Even someone as carefree and carefree as Liang Sinan, who was so open-minded and carefree, was tied down by an insignificant company. Even if he excluded his shares in Anshi Capital, he already had a lot of wealth just from his years of hard work on Wall Street.
Yue Hui answered concisely: "That is the Liang family's ancestral property. His father left it to him."
An Jiyue remained silent. She understood Yue Hui's meaning. This was the same feeling she had when she risked her life to save An Shi.
She was forced to take the moral high ground and put up a fierce resistance: "I have no problem going through fire and water for him, but not this."
Yue Hui looked at her with a smile: "Because?"
"Because of Lu Ye." She admitted it firmly.
Yue Hui didn't say anything else, patted her shoulder gently, sat back in front of his laptop, and went back to his room after finishing the last few minutes.
An Jiyue remained standing, her forehead resting against the cool glass. Several days of intense work had dulled the luster of her bright eyes, and now she stared out the window in bewilderment.
There are no trees to be seen from high floors, only tall buildings and a lonely moon hanging in the sky.
There are always some people who are as unfettered as the solitary moon, such as Liang Sinan and Yue Hui, and even myself back then. Willing to cast aside everything and soar into the sky, from then on, all I could see was the river rushing eastward and the clouds gathering and dispersing.
They can look down at the dim lights and look up at the round jade plate, and no longer have to look for the starry moonlight in the winding forest paths.
But she had seen it. The moonlight that filtered through the shadows of the mango trees, scattering across the ground or draping itself on the shoulders and backs of those beneath the trees, was the most beautiful sight.
An Jiyue suddenly remembered something. She opened her phone and saw that she had just been explaining her relationship with Liang Sinan in the chat box with Lu Ye. She had received a reply without knowing when.
【Lu Ye: Take off, good night.】
-
z company.
Lu Ye finished his Monday morning online meeting in his car. The atmosphere was unusually silent. Several of his colleagues, who often consulted him, remained silent. Even the secretary presiding over the meeting sounded groggy, as if he was the only one putting in the effort, while the others seemed somewhat absent-minded.
Lu Ye didn't find it strange. They often multitasked. For example, he wrote a morning market forecast during the morning meeting and posted it to several important investor groups.
He opened the door carrying his computer bag.
Whoosh—bang!
Colorful fireworks fluttered in the air. Before Lu Ye could be surprised, he heard his colleagues inside and outside the door rushing over.
"Congratulations to Mr. Lu for winning the big order from the Lijiang Consortium!"
Not only his second-level business department, but even the first-level department next door came out in full force and surrounded him happily.
Banners hung overnight were hanging on the wall, and balloons and flowers decorated the door of Lu Ye's office. Qin Jianhe walked out of the crowd and looked around with satisfaction.
"Xiao Shen, the arrangement is good."
Shen Xingyu happily accepted the compliment from his leader, thinking to himself, this is not a good thing, and there are big orders, it's like a WeChat business gathering.
When Qin Jianhe was finalizing the banner last night, he advised him to be more open-minded. The essence of any industry is sales and orders, so it is very realistic to write it this way.
Balloons and flowers alone were a bit shabby, but compliance and financial regulations were so stringent that even if he wanted to contribute, he couldn't. The financial world was in turmoil right now, and everyone was running on their heels, fearing that any overspending would lead to reports from their peers.
There was no need to worry. Shen Xingyu glanced across the crowd at today's protagonist. With Lu Ye around, who would believe that Company Z was squandering money and violating discipline? A supervisor only needed to take one look at his handsome, refined face and they'd probably be in no doubt.
Even now, surrounded by flowers and applause, and attracting everyone's attention, that figure still seemed lonely and desolate. Lu Ye's smile was faint, his eyes were like the abyss, and his emotions were unfathomable.
When Shen Xingyu heard him respond calmly and distantly with words like "work together", "keep up the good work", and "learn from each other", someone who didn't know would have thought it was a speech commending an advanced individual.
If it were him, he would have laughed heartily, rubbed shoulders with these people he might not even know that well, and casually called them brothers, making unrealistic promises in a joking tone, such as "No problem! My help will definitely benefit you, brother," and "I'm just throwing out some ideas, and I'll still have to rely on you to introduce me to more resources in the future."
Lu Ye's temperament, as gentle as a mountain and as calm as water, is truly admirable, Shen Xingyu thought.
Qin Jianhe announced loudly: "To celebrate the achievement of the performance target ahead of schedule, the company has prepared benefits for everyone!"
Even Lu Ye, who was responding to his colleagues' congratulations one by one, paused and listened with everyone.
"West Bund Art Exhibition, one ticket per person!"
Qin Jianhe unfolded the stack of bills in his hand, looking elated. But seeing the dull expressions on everyone's faces, he quickly added, "Those who receive the tickets will also have a day off!"
This is somewhat attractive, and some people ask: "Since when?"
"Now!"
Lu Ye looked around in disbelief at the large computer screen that had just been turned on, then looked down at his spotless hand-embroidered shirt and slim-fit trousers, feeling that his leader was a bit of a hassle.
If you had said that earlier, he wouldn't have rushed back last night.
"Xiao Lu, let's go." Qin Jianhe came closer and patted him on the shoulder.
Lu Ye raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Boss Qin, where are you going? I have a roadshow later."
This was true; he didn't take the holiday seriously at all. Even though the company he was presenting for today's roadshow was a small one, he had prepared all the materials without any compromise.
"I know. I've moved it to the afternoon for you. We're going to the art exhibition now."
Lu Ye was stunned. Qin Jianhe had already taken a few steps ahead. His sharp eyes swept over Shen Xingyu beside him.
Shen Xingyu, who had achieved his performance target, was grateful and nodded towards the window.
Across the window was the Lijiang Financial Group's building. Lu Ye's heart sank.
The nanny car that the company provided to President Qin was spacious and comfortable. Shen Xingyu consciously sat at the back, leaving the seat next to the leader to the meritorious official.
Lu Ye was a little uncomfortable. He was actually more accustomed to doing his own things in the back, leaving people like Shen Xingyu to chat with the leader.
He took out the computer from his bag, placed it on his lap, and hesitated whether to turn it on, but Qin Jianhe stopped him.
"Xiao Lu, there's no need to work so hard." Qin Jianhe smiled and asked him to put the computer back into the bag, and took the initiative to chat with him.
Qin Jianhe rushed in: "Do you know who organized this art exhibition?"
Lu Ye took the ticket and played with it between his fingers, his eyes cold. He felt that there was no point in pretending to be stupid.
"Of course. Mr. Zhong from the Lijiang Group is incredibly talented."
He raised his eyes, paused, and then spoke without hesitation, leaving no room for hesitation:
"Very talented, but I just don't like it."
