Zhu Youzhuo didn't expect that Min Xi was Fu Yanzhou's wife. In this case, the withdrawal of the photos could be explained. With Fu Yanzhou's connections, it would only take a word.
Fu Yanzhou is the person his sister least wants to mention, so he stopped talking about Min Xi becoming a hot topic.
His sister was standing in front of his desk, having put down the documents, but she showed no intention of leaving.
Zhu Youzhuo closed the hot search terms page, put down the mouse and asked his sister: "Anything else?"
"Yeah." Zhu Youran poured himself a glass of water and sat down on the chair in front of the table.
She was thinking about how to start the conversation and felt very embarrassed.
Zhu Youzhuo noticed his sister's hesitation and asked tentatively, "Did you have a fight with your husband?"
Zhu Youran looked up blankly: "No."
Zhu Youzhuo breathed a sigh of relief, as long as there was no problem in his marriage.
My sister and brother-in-law met through a blind date and got married after dating for a few months. Although my sister's husband is a good person and has good abilities, they had no emotional foundation and did not know each other well, so it was easy for them to have conflicts over trivial matters.
"It's normal for couples to quarrel. If you have a quarrel and have no one to complain to, tell me."
Zhu Youran said with a smile: "Look at our personalities, do we look like the kind of people who would quarrel?"
Zhu Youzhuo smiled: "That's right." They are all gentle and rational people.
"What's that?" he asked patiently.
Zhu Youran hesitated for two or three months and said, "I have considered it for two or three months, and I still feel that Wu Qianxin is not suitable to stay in Zhuoran. He is taking an unconventional approach, and sooner or later he will bring trouble to the company."
After finally saying it out, Zhu Youran felt less depressed.
Wu Qianxin was like a sword hanging over her head, and she had no mind to go on her honeymoon.
Wu Qianxin is the vice president of the crisis public relations department. He has good business skills, but he is greedy and uses his position to make money like crazy. She has worked with Wu Qianxin for so long, and the more she understands his style of doing things, the more she dares not to keep him.
Wu Qianxin has worked at Zhuoran Public Relations for more than five years and is a friend of her brother. She was worried that her brother would be embarrassed, so she hesitated for two or three months before making this decision.
"Brother, I'm sorry."
"You are doing this for the good of the company. It is me who should reflect on myself."
Zhu Youzhuo was silent for a moment and said, "You are in charge of the Crisis PR Department. I respect any decision you make." He paused and said, "Talk to him properly. We will try our best to meet all his resignation requirements and part ways amicably."
Zhu Youran: "I'll take care of it."
His sister was under a lot of pressure, so Zhu Youzhuo changed the subject: "When are we going to make up for our honeymoon? If we delay any further, it will be until the end of the year."
The wedding was held at the end of August, and now it is November, but she has not found time to go on her honeymoon. Her husband understands her and says that she can go when she is not busy and there is no rush.
"I'll take a vacation after Wu Qianxin leaves."
How to talk to Wu Qianxin about the resignation next still needs to be considered carefully.
Zhu Youran returned to his office and was distracted even while pouring coffee. In fact, no matter what the reason is for asking him to resign, they will end up falling out.
The phone on the table vibrated several times, and someone in the high school classmates group started chatting again.
Even though he knew the content of the chat might be related to Min Xi, Zhu Youran still couldn't control his hand and clicked on the group chat.
The latest news is: [Why don’t you remove all the photos of Min Xi? @Fu Yanzhou】
The person who sent the message was Chu Yi. He was the most active person in the group these days.
Zhu Youran never spoke in the group and quietly exited the chat box.
She had very complicated feelings towards Chu Yi. If it weren't for Chu Yi, perhaps her and Fu Yanzhou's ending would have been different.
When Chu Yi graduated from high school, he confessed his love to her, but she rejected him outright because there was no possibility and she didn't want to leave him any room for fantasy.
She herself felt that it was too cruel to reject someone directly, but only in this way would he give up and she could start another relationship.
After enduring four long years in college, she learned that Fu Yanzhou still didn't have a girlfriend. She couldn't help but be moved again and wanted to give it a try, so she applied to the same graduate school as him.
She asked Fu Yanzhou about his standards for choosing a girlfriend. His standards were very high. First, she had to be attracted, and second, they had to be soul mates.
I don’t know what kind of woman can make him fall in love with her, but she meets the latter standard. She has a tacit understanding with him and they can talk to each other, and he appreciates her.
Throughout his student years, from high school to graduate school, she was one of the few opposite-sex people around him.
In his eyes, she had more advantages than other suitors, but she still didn't dare to confess directly, for fear that if she was rejected, they would not even be able to be friends in the future.
No one wants to lose a friend standing at the top of the pyramid.
She found her best alumnus for help, who was also Fu Yanzhou's friend.
The alumni were chatting as usual and talked about her to Fu Yanzhou: I just found out that Zhu Youran applied to come here because of you.
She was not there, so she couldn't imagine what Fu Yanzhou's expression was when he found out that she liked him.
Later, he said to his schoolmate: Find an opportunity to tell her tactfully that there is no possibility between her and me because Chu Yi is between us. Let her move on and stop wasting her time on me. If she encounters difficulties that she cannot solve one day, I will do my best to help her.
She would never know in her life whether he had regrets for rejecting her because of Chu Yi, whether he felt conflicted when he rejected her, and how long he remained silent.
He was so smart that he would have guessed that the schoolmate was trying to test her first.
But when they met again later, they acted as if nothing had happened. She adhered to the boundaries of classmates and stopped talking about any private matters or asking him any emotional questions.
If it weren't for Chu Yi, he should have given her a chance after she confessed. Even if he is not attracted to her at first, he will gradually develop feelings for her after getting along with her as a lover.
It's a pity that she didn't even have such an opportunity.
In the few years after graduating from graduate school, she still had no love relationship, and Fu Yanzhou was also still single. Alumni tried their best to bring them together: You are the person he can talk to the most, it would be a pity if you missed each other.
Although she felt regretful and still missed him, she also knew that missed was missed: we have no contact now.
She just said it casually, but the alumni took it to heart, so she asked Fu Yanzhou to airmail some things to her to create an opportunity for them to meet. That was also her first time to go to his office.
Ever since she confessed her feelings in a tactful way, she had never asked him about his personal relationship again. That day in his office, she talked about the first married couple in their high school class, the math class representative and her husband: "I heard they are about to become parents. When can we eat your wedding candy?"
Fu Yanzhou: "It's still early. I haven't met anyone I want to marry."
She didn't stay long that day. After chatting for a few minutes, she took the things given to her by her alumni and left.
When she reached the age of thirty, she usually paid most attention to the university alumni groups and high school classmates groups. Every now and then, there would be news about which classmate was getting married or which classmate's child was holding a full-month banquet.
It was not until June this year that she heard in the group that he had obtained a marriage certificate and was marrying his wife.
She was depressed for a long time, and later she met her current husband, who helped her through the trough.
Zhu Youran forced herself to collect her thoughts and looked at the ring on her ring finger. Life had given her enough, so what else was there to be dissatisfied with?
--
Several high-ranking hot searches for Shengshi Technology’s press conference finally came down in the evening.
Yu Chengtan’s birthday party was held in a hotel not far from the company. After get off work, many people walked there in groups of three or five.
Min Xi was waiting for the elevator in the elevator room. The door of the private elevator next door opened. Yu Chengtan blocked the door with his hand, stepped out of the elevator door with one foot, and called her: "Come in."
Without asking any more questions, I got into the elevator first.
After standing still, Min Xi wondered: "Mr. Yu, how did you know I was waiting for the elevator?"
Yu Chengtan pressed the first floor below ground and replied, "See who's still here and take them all with you."
Min Xi smiled: "Then I'm lucky."
She wanted to drink some red wine tonight, so she left her car at the company and planned to walk to the hotel. But lazy people have good fortune, so now she doesn't have to walk and can just take his ride.
Yu Chengtan's cell phone rang. There was a call coming in. He glanced at the screen and hung up.
Min Xi thought it was his private matter and didn't ask any more questions.
When he reached the basement downstairs, Yu Chengtan's cell phone rang again.
He opened the car door and closed it again, and waited for Min Xi to get in the car before answering the call outside.
"Dad, it's my birthday tonight, can you please forgive me?"
Director Yu: "It doesn't matter if this birthday doesn't happen. If you continue like this, the company will be finished sooner or later! Shengshi Technology is such a big client, and you actually gave it to Min Xi, who doesn't know anything about the business, to be in charge. What else do you want to do!"
Yu Chengtan: “…”
He explained why the hot search terms included Min Xi's personal photos, but his father didn't believe it. He thought Min Xi was trying to find a way to attract netizens' attention by creating a gimmick.
"Whether she knows the business or not is not up to you. What matters is that the customers and the market buy into it."
On the other end of the phone, Director Yu was furious: "Just look at what's trending on the search results. This isn't how you do PR!"
Yu Chengtan defended his father and retorted: "How about PR? Like you and Mr. Zhu, pretending to be good friends in front of the media?"
Mr. Yu was so angry that he almost smashed his phone and hung up.
Yuchengtan was finally quiet.
After a few seconds of hesitation, he opened the car door and got in.
Min Xi turned to him and asked, "Did you have a fight with Director Yu because of the trending search?"
Yu Chengtan wondered if the car's sound insulation could be that bad.
Min Xi pointed at the skylight, leaving a gap so that the sounds outside the car could be heard clearly.
Yu Chengtan laughed and couldn't deny it even if he wanted to.
"If he doesn't believe it, that's his business."
Yu Chengtan placed his phone on the center console and fastened his seat belt.
He glanced at Min Xi and said, "My dad thinks no one is better than him in public relations skills. You don't have to worry about it."
Min Xi comforted him in return: "I will double my efforts to earn back your face in the future and let Director Yu see how accurate your judgment of people is."
Yu Chengtan smiled and started the car.
The case of Shengshi Technology has come to an end, and the rest are matters of other departments. There is not much that Min Xi needs to do.
"You should take your annual leave now since you are not busy. Otherwise, it will be wasted until the end of the year."
Yu Chengtan is probably the only boss who reminds his employees to take vacation.
Min Xi asked: "Then I can start my annual leave next Monday?"
Yu Chengtan nodded, "Counting the next weekend, you can have nine consecutive days off."
The holiday came too suddenly, and Min Xi hadn't figured out what to do for a while.
She asked Fu Yanzhou: [Are you busy recently? 】
[Busy, going on a business trip to Jiangcheng. 】
Fu Yanzhou asked: [What’s the matter? 】
Min Xi didn't mention wanting to go traveling with him, and made up an excuse to reply: [Just asking. Waiting for birthday cake, feeling bored. 】
Fu Yanzhou: [You’re bored, so why are you going so early? 】
Min Xi responded with an eyes-rolling emoticon.
When they arrived downstairs at the hotel, Yu Chengtan parked the car at the main entrance and waited for her to get out before driving to the underground parking lot.
As Min Xi arrived at the hotel lobby, Ju Youyou ran up from behind and hugged him.
Ju Youyou walked all the way from the company. The two tall buildings seemed very close to each other and it took her nearly twenty minutes to walk over.
"Sister Min, why are you walking so fast?"
She joked, "My legs are obviously longer than yours, that's not reasonable."
Ju Youyou is 1.72 meters tall, three centimeters taller than Min Xi.
Min Xi said: "I took a ride with Mr. Yu."
“No wonder.”
But she would rather walk here than take the boss's car.
Yu Chengtan does not allow anyone to give him gifts on his birthday, and he refuses to accept any. They are now accustomed to coming empty-handed to celebrate their boss' birthday.
Min Xi didn't ask for any special treatment, and other colleagues didn't make any preparations for her if they didn't send her off.
This is the seventh birthday she has celebrated for Yu Chengtan, and this year is the seventh year she has known him.
The company booked a medium-sized banquet hall for them to have fun.
Before the carnival began, Ju Youyou went to the buffet area to get some food and also got one for Min Xi.
"Sister Min, eat something to fill your stomach so you won't feel uncomfortable drinking later."
Ju Youyou chatted with her and asked her what projects she would be working on next.
Min Xi: "They are all projects from old customers, so just maintain good relationships."
Next, we plan to develop Lemeng Food as a major customer. Lemeng Food’s annual investment in public relations is more than three times that of Shengshi Technology.
If we take over Lemeng Food, next year's revenue-generating task will not be a problem.
Not long after, tonight's birthday boy, Yu Chengtan, entered the banquet hall and the carnival officially began.
From seven o'clock to ten-thirty, they played games with more and more excitement, and under the influence of alcohol, sometimes they forgot that the boss was watching them.
Ju Youyou sang two songs and then gave the microphone to Min Xi.
Min Xi sings beautifully. In Ju Youyou's words, her singing voice is more popular in the company than she is.
Ju Youyou ordered a few songs for her that were suitable for the boss to sing in person. As soon as Min Xi started singing, the whole audience suddenly fell silent.
Just like her temperament, her voice is clean and ethereal.
Min Xi hadn't sung for a long time, and after singing three songs in a row, his throat felt dry, so he gave the microphone to other colleagues around him.
Ju Youyou begged: "Sister Min, please sing two more songs, so that we can take advantage of Mr. Yu's birthday celebration."
Other colleagues agreed that it was a pleasure to listen to her singing.
Min Xi: "I'll take a break before singing again."
Yu Chengtan was sitting not far away drinking red wine. He pointed at Min Xi and told the waiter, "Give her a glass of warm water, about 40 degrees."
"Okay." The waiter prepared warm water for Min Xi.
Min Xiyou called, it was Fu Yanzhou calling her.
The banquet hall was noisy, so she walked out with her cell phone. Just when she needed a glass of water, the waiter gave her one and said that Mr. Yu asked him to bring it over.
"Thanks."
She brought the water and went outside the hall.
He took a sip of warm water before answering, "Hello."
Fu Yanzhou asked her in a clear and cold voice, "When will you be back?"
"It's still early, they haven't had enough fun yet." Min Xi cleared his throat and quickly took a sip of warm water.
"Eating spicy food?"
"No. I just sang several songs in a row. My voice can't stand it if I don't sing for a long time."
Hearing this, Fu Yanzhou was silent for a few seconds.
She never sang in front of him.
"Have you been drinking?" We didn't continue talking about singing.
"I drank it."
"Send me the hotel address."
Fu Yanzhou didn't say anything more and hung up the phone.
He took the car keys, walked a few steps, then stopped and called the driver, asking him to pick up the person.
An hour later, Min Xi received a call from the driver, who told her that the car was parked in front of the hotel.
Thinking that Fu Yanzhou was also in the car, she didn't let him wait. She left early and went downstairs of the hotel to find Fu Yanzhou's car. Her long vacation will officially begin tomorrow.
I opened the back door and found the back seat was empty, there was no one on the passenger seat either, only the driver was in the car.
After saying hello, Min Xi sat down.
"Does Fu Yanzhou have any social engagements tonight?" she asked the driver.
Driver: "No. Mr. Fu is at home."
Then I should work overtime at home, Min Xi thought.
After taking a nap in the car for more than half an hour, the car stopped in the yard of the villa.
The lights in the upstairs rooms were all off, which was not the case in the past. No matter how late she came back, he would always be in the study.
Arriving at the room upstairs, Min Xi gently pushed the door open. Only the wall lamp on her side was on. Fu Yanzhou had already fallen asleep.
Not knowing whether he was asleep or not, Min Xi said nothing and tiptoed to the bathroom to take a shower.
Fu Yanzhou was sleeping soundly and she woke him up by closing the bathroom door.
Min Xi took a long time to take a shower, and it took him forty minutes to blow dry his hair.
Fu Yanzhou looked at her from the side and said, "Go to sleep."
Min Xi got on the bed, "Did I wake you up?"
"without."
Min Xi turned off the lights and snuggled into his arms.
"I thought you would come with the driver to pick me up."
Fu Yanzhou: "I'm going, and you're saying I'm urging you to go home in disguise and ruining your fun."
"How could that be?"
Fu Yanzhou kissed her forehead: "If you have any social events in the future, I will take them. Go to sleep."
Min Xi bent his knees, placed his legs on his lower abdomen, and pressed most of his body on him.
Fu Yanzhou patted her leg: "Can you take it off and sleep peacefully?"
Min Xi lay motionless in his arms, and said in a coquettish voice: "No."
Fu Yanzhou had no choice but to hold her waist to prevent her from slipping off him.
Min Xi was drunk and fell asleep in less than a minute.
Fu Yanzhou told her: "I'm going to Jiangcheng on a business trip tomorrow, and I'll take an early morning flight."
Min Xi was in a daze and he said "hmm" when he heard the voice.
The next morning, when Min Xi woke up, he subconsciously wanted to grab the people around him, but he caught nothing. When he opened his eyes, the bedside table on his side was empty.
[No rest today?] 】She sent a message to Fu Yanzhou.
Fu Yanzhou had been away from home for less than half an hour when he quickly came back: [On the way to the airport. Didn’t I tell you last night? 】
Min Xi recalled carefully, but had no impression at all.
When did you say that? 】
Fu Yanzhou didn't argue with her: [I remembered it wrongly. I'll message you where I'm going next time. 】Lest she deny it.
Min Xi asked: [Are you going to Jiangcheng? How long will you be there? 】
Fu Yanzhou: [It may take four or five days. 】
When Min Xi heard it for so long, she realized that her vacation was halfway over.
It was boring to be alone at home, so she quickly threw off the quilt and got up, not knowing if she could still catch his flight. If not, she would buy another flight. She couldn't let him wait for her to fly to Jiangcheng together, so as not to delay his work.
I didn't even have time to put on makeup. I spent a few minutes packing my suitcase and called the driver to ask him to wait in the yard. I didn't have time to eat breakfast and just took a few slices of toast to eat in the car.
What time does the plane take off? If you are bored, I will chat with you. 】Min Xi asked about his take-off time.
Fu Yanzhou: [Ten o'clock. 】
Min Xi looked at the time and thought she should be able to catch up.
He followed it up with another message: [Not boring. 】
Min Xi: “…”
Fu Yanzhou was dealing with emails and had no time to chat.
I was lucky today. The traffic was not too congested and I arrived at the airport more than 20 minutes earlier than expected.
After passing the security check smoothly, Min Xi went to the VIP lounge to look for someone.
When she saw his upright back, her heart, which had been hanging in the air all the way, finally settled down.
Min Xi walked around the sofa and came behind him, covering his eyes with her hands.
Fu Yanzhou was reading an email when his eyes went dark and the feeling of soft fingers came to his brain.
She covered her mouth tightly with both hands, as if afraid that he would run away.
"Poke my eyes gently, or I'll go blind. Do you still want to learn how to drive in reverse?"
Min Xi was so angry that she laughed: "I was covering it, not picking it!" She let go of his eyes and put her arms around his neck from behind: "How can you be so sure it was me?"
Fu Yanzhou's eyes were blurred by her covering, and he could see clearly after more than ten seconds. He raised his chin to the bodyguards not far away and said, "Do you think they are just decorations? They are only defenseless against you."
They would be alert if anyone approached him from behind, but since they were not alert, did not warn him, and allowed that person to cover his eyes, it could only be her.
Min Xi: "What if your friends or relatives meet you at the airport and tease you?"
"Who else dares to tease me except you?"
“…”
Fu Yanzhou let her hug his neck while he continued to read emails.
