Min Xi hasn't thought about the divorce yet. Theirs is a marriage of arrangement, and if divorced, too many things will be involved. When the marriage was arranged, everyone in the family had already let her do what she wanted. Even if she was willful, she couldn't just get a divorce.
Now she only knew that she could not continue her marriage.
As for whether to divorce or live separately, she couldn't calm down and think about it for the time being.
Yu Chengtan sent her to the door of her home. Before getting off the car, he wanted to say a few words to comfort her, but swallowed his words back.
"Rest at home for a few days, and don't have to go to the company tomorrow." She might even cry at night, and I can't let her go to work tomorrow with swollen eyes.
"I will go back and consider which country you will be sent to and what project you will be responsible for."
Min Xi nodded. When she got out of the car and was about to close the door, she held the handle and hesitated for a moment, "Can you arrange for me to go tomorrow?"
She didn't want to go back and face Fu Yanzhou, nor did she want to argue.
Yu Chengtan sighed in his heart and promised her: "I'll try my best. Don't think about anything tonight and go to bed early." After saying that, he felt that what he said was all nonsense.
If she could stop letting her mind wander, she wouldn't be distracted in the company so late, and she wouldn't be so eager to leave tomorrow.
Watching Min Xi walk into the villa and the lights in the villa turned on, Yu Chengtan told the driver to drive. He was worried about Min Xi's condition, but he couldn't stay for long.
The car was driving on the quiet road in the compound. Because it did not have a pass, when it arrived at the gate, the person on duty took a look at the license plate before letting it pass.
He had the good fortune to visit once the place where she grew up.
When they reached the main road, Yu Chengtan opened the car window and lit a cigarette. He never smoked in the car, and except for necessary social events, he hardly smoked at other times.
The driver glanced at his boss in the rearview mirror and sighed silently.
After finishing a cigarette, Yu Chengtan calmed down and asked his friend again: "Please ask me how much agency fee Zhuoran Public Relations paid to win this project." 】
[Any other exchange conditions? The more detailed the better. 】
In the middle of the night, a friend was woken up by the vibration of his cell phone while he was half asleep. [What’s wrong with you? I've never seen you lose your temper so much even when you lost a big client. 】
Yu Chengtan joked to himself: [As I get older, I become more and more impatient. 】
Friend: Come on! 】
He looked at the time. It was already past midnight. Who wouldn't be asleep at this time?
[I’ll ask for you tomorrow morning.] 】
The first time Yu Chengtan asked for help, he sent a voice message: "Can I do you a favor? Can I ask now?"
friend:"……"
I feel crazy inside.
If it wasn't a voice message, he seriously suspected that Yu Chengtan's phone was left with someone else and someone was deliberately playing a prank on him.
If I don’t ask tonight, the sky will fall?
But after knowing each other for many years, this was the first time Yu Chengtan asked him for such a small matter, and he would feel bad if he didn't help.
Yu Chengtan hopes that things will turn around and that Fu Yanzhou's help to Zhu Youran is an exchange of interests so that Min Xi can sleep well.
Ten minutes later, his friend replied to him: [Zhuoran only took one-third of the PR agency fee, and did crisis PR for Lemeng Food for free within a year. Nothing else. 】
Yu Chengtan took a screenshot of the dialog box and sent it to Min Xi to comfort her: [Things are not as serious as you think. Here are the conditions Zhu Youran gave you. Don’t think about it anymore. 】
Min Xi didn't drink a drop of water all night. She poured herself a cup of warm water and was drinking it. She was distracted even while drinking the water. When a message came in on her phone, she was slow to react.
After watching it, I felt calm.
She replied: [The fact that he helped cannot be concealed. He can't help and then give so much agency fee to Zhu Youran, right? With my dad around, he doesn’t dare to be so blatant. 】
Yu Chengtan: [Min Xi, don’t dwell on this matter. 】
Min Xi admitted: [Maybe. So I need to step away for a while to calm down. 】
When she replied to the message, she glanced at the time. It was so late, but Yu Chengtan was still worrying about her.
She called Yu Chengtan and said, "Mr. Yu, please stop trying to persuade me. I really can't be as rational as a bystander. In my case, he just helped. The reason is not important to me."
Yu Chengtan racked his brains: "Min Xi, he doesn't know that you are also bidding."
Min Xi took over the conversation: "But if the positions were reversed, I would be the boss of Lingyu Group and he would be in the public relations company. If I were to get involved in the public relations agency business, I would ask him if he had any projects competing with Lemeng Foods before I did so."
She asked Yu Chengtan in return: "It's fine if you don't interfere, everyone bids fairly and competes fairly, but if you interfere, especially a few days before the public bidding, isn't it right to ask?"
Yu Chengtan was speechless.
Min Xi revealed his true feelings: "If it were me, I would definitely ask him if he is interested in Lemeng. Even if he is not interested, I would tell him that I am going to help your company's competitor because of the exchange of interests. I will consider in advance any misunderstandings and disappointments that may cause him to feel disappointed."
If their company is also bidding for Lemeng Food, she will not undermine the fair bidding mechanism, but will find other high-quality companies to help her classmates with agency business. To her, he and the company he worked for were more important than her classmates.
She added, "Of course, it's because I like him that I consider everything so carefully and put him first in everything. I also know that I can't ask him to do this to me. His feelings for me haven't reached that stage yet. But I'm sad, so it's okay, right?"
"Mr. Yu, you don't care about marriage and relationships, so you can't empathize. Your husband is helping a competitor, and this competitor is someone he likes. No one would feel good if this happened to them. I have cleared the project plan for Lemeng Food, and he and I can't go back to the way we were before."
After hearing the last few sentences, Yu Chengtan suddenly didn’t know what to advise.
He stopped trying to persuade her not to think too much, as it was useless.
He threw the locked phone on the seat next to him and rubbed his temples hard, thinking about what project to assign her to.
--
Min Xi received a call from Fu Yanzhou while taking a bath. It was past twelve o'clock and he hadn't slept yet.
The two lived in the same city but separately. Fu Yanzhou was not used to it. He didn't understand what important thing could be discussed in a whole night and why they had to stay at Min Ting's place.
Min Xi wiped his hands with a towel and opened the phone on the shelf.
"Xixi, are you home yet?"
"Here we are, taking a bath."
Min Xi wanted to end the call with this, but forced out two more words: "What about you?"
"I was just about to go to bed." Fu Yanzhou leaned against the head of the bed, wanting to chat with her for a while.
"Good night then." Min Xi added, "I've been soaking in the bath for quite a while and I'm about to go out."
Fu Yanzhou hesitated, "Don't soak for too long, go to bed early."
He stared at the darkened screen thoughtfully. He always felt that Min Xi was not warm and he didn't want to talk to him more.
He must have been overthinking it.
Before going out in the morning, she clung to him and asked him to hold her for a few more minutes.
Early the next morning, Fu Yanzhou received a call from the CEO of Lemeng Food, telling him that Zhuoran Public Relations had passed the risk assessment and confirmed that the problem was with Wu Qianxin.
The contract process was completed as quickly as possible, and the next step is for Zhuoran to complete the project plan.
This was the end of the help for Fu Yanzhou, and the rest was not his concern.
As soon as I hung up the phone, the high school classmates group became lively.
This morning, a classmate saw Chu Yi sending a woman to work, so he @Chu Yi in the group and asked what was going on.
Everyone in the class knows that Chu Yiming is in love with Zhu Youran. Now Zhu Youran has been married for more than a year. Chu Yi has a good personal and family background, but he is still single. They are afraid that he will become obsessed with Zhu Youran and cannot get over it. Now, when they heard that Chu Yi sent a woman to work, they were all very excited. The gossipy nature they had in their youth was rekindled, and they all asked him what was going on.
Faced with the enthusiastic concern of his classmates, Chu Yi was embarrassed to lie. Originally, he had not planned to make it public so early. He said generously: "She is my girlfriend. We have just started dating. Thank you for your concern. 】
A classmate suggested: [Today is Friday, if you are free, why don’t we get together? 】
Chu Yi didn't feel comfortable asking others to treat him: "I'll treat you tonight, you guys can discuss where to go, order whatever you want. 】
He also specifically @Fu Yanzhou: [You must bring Min Xi over, I will prepare some red wine for her. 】Let Min Xi share his joy.
One year after Zhu Youran got married, he finally walked out.
With a relationship and someone who cares about you and who also cares about you, the past is slowly fading away. It was useless to persuade Min Xi verbally in the past. He had to use his own facts to tell Min Xi that even if Fu Yanzhou had liked Zhu Youran, that was in the past and time could dilute everything.
He is in a happy relationship now, so she shouldn't be far from getting what she wants.
Fu Yanzhou first congratulated him, and then said: "I'll ask her if she is free tonight." 】
Chu Yi is quite confident about his relationship with Min Xi: "Just tell her that I'm treating her because I'm single, and she will come no matter how busy she is. 】
Fu Yanzhou sneered and chatted with him privately: [Are you drunk so early in the morning? 】
Chu Yi thought to himself, what do you know.
He and Min Xi were close friends, they had a life-long secret friendship, they were frustrated together, drank together, and listened to sad love songs together all night.
At the beginning of this year, with Min Xi's help, he outsourced the company's public relations agency business and signed it to a professional public relations company.
During this period, he and Min Xi had dinner several times. Whenever he passed by Jiachen Public Relations, he would go to Min Xi's office to have a cup of tea and chat with her.
How could Fu Yanzhou understand their friendship?
Chu Yi still replied to Fu Yanzhou properly, deliberately distorting his meaning: [Who drinks so early in the morning. I actually have a girlfriend. 】
Fu Yanzhou: “…”
Playing the lute to a cow.
Chu Yi was able to move on and have a new relationship. As his best classmate, he was naturally happy for him and asked with concern: [When did you start dating? 】
Chu Yi: [We have known each other for three or four years, but have only been together for two months. Our parents know each other, so our relationship is relatively stable. 】
Otherwise he wouldn't have introduced his girlfriend to his classmates and friends.
Fu Yanzhou congratulated again, and then sent a message to Min Xi, telling her that Chu Yi had a girlfriend.
[Chu Yi is treating us tonight, so please come over.] Are you free? 】
Min Xi hasn't woken up yet. He went to bed only at dawn and has only slept for less than two hours.
Her phone was on silent mode, and she didn't see Fu Yanzhou's message until noon. I didn't check my phone for the whole morning, and there were many missed calls and dozens of unread messages.
Chu Yi also sent her a message to share his joy with her.
If he had told her a day in advance, she would definitely be able to feel his happiness, but now, she couldn't even be happy for him.
She edited a long message to congratulate him, but also expressed regret that she had received a sudden arrangement from her boss to go on a business trip abroad.
[It is still a project of Shengshi Technology, and this time it is responsible for the overseas market. The fourth generation Xiaoshi has been approved for listing overseas. I'll treat you and your girlfriend to dinner when I come back. 】
At 1:30 am yesterday, Yu Chengtan sent an email and said that he had arranged a project for her. Everything about this project was good except that Sheng Jianqi was prejudiced against her.
Yu Chengtan asked her if it was okay, if she didn't want to deal with Sheng Jianqi, he would make other arrangements.
She agreed without any hesitation. She had feelings for Xiao Xiaoshi and also wanted to do what she could to help Shengshi Technology open up overseas markets.
Shengshi’s overseas public relations business is handled by Jiachen’s overseas team, and her purpose this time is more to assist and learn.
She will go to Shanghai this evening and will meet Sheng Jianqi at the airport tomorrow and fly to Paris together.
This assignment will last at least three or four months, maybe even longer. Such a long time was enough for her to calm down and consider carefully whether her marriage with Fu Yanzhou was still necessary to continue.
If continuing, in what form should it continue?
If they break up, how should she explain to her family and how should she part ways with him amicably?
She thought about all this until she couldn't sleep, and kept thinking until dawn.
Min Xi replied to Chu Yi before replying to Fu Yanzhou. As for why she couldn't go to the dinner, she briefly explained: "I'm going to Shanghai this evening. 】
Fu Yanzhou immediately called her back: "Why so sudden?"
Min Xi smiled faintly: "Xiao Xiaoshi has just been approved there, and we have just received a notice from Shengshi Technology."
"Aren't there overseas teams responsible for overseas markets? Why are we sending you there?"
"The senior management of Shengshi was very satisfied with my last proposal, which received a good response in the domestic market. However, after all, each market is different and cannot be copied exactly. So they asked me to go over and assist the overseas team."
An impeccable reason.
This is also the reason why Yu Chengtan assigned this project to her.
It was too sudden, at least Fu Yanzhou was not mentally prepared.
He has meetings today and cannot be absent, so he will not be able to see her off at the airport.
After a few seconds of silence, he remembered that he had not mentioned the matter of Lemeng Food to her. Zhuoran Public Relations had not passed the risk assessment before, and it was not certain whether the project would be given to Zhu Youran, so he did not mention it.
"You know about Zhuoran's public relations, right?"
As a colleague, she should have known that Zhuoran Public Relations was in such a big credibility crisis.
Min Xi's heart skipped a beat: "I know. What's wrong?"
Fu Yanzhou said frankly: "Zhu Youran asked me for help. After the risk assessment was passed, I gave the project to their company."
Even though he knew that he had already completed the contract process and given the project to Zhu Youran, Min Xi couldn't suppress his curiosity and asked, "What if... our company also plans to bid, and you didn't ask me."
Fu Yanzhou paused. He only cared about whether she was interested or not, and what areas she was good at. As for the revenue generated by Jiachen Public Relations, it was never within his scope of concern.
"Which team in your company is responsible for fast-moving consumer goods projects? I can introduce other food companies."
Min Xi secretly sighed and refused: "No, I was just assuming that our company was bidding. Yu Chengtan never relied on my connections to attract business."
Fu Yanzhou gave up. What he was concerned about now was that she was going on a long business trip. He wanted to accompany her before she left: "When are you going home to pack your luggage?"
"No need to go back to clean up. I have everything at home. I worked overtime all night last night to finish some work. I just got up, so I just need to clean up a little. If you need anything, you can buy it over there." She said calmly, as if she was talking about someone else's business.
"Xixi, why don't you come to Lingyu at noon? I'll have a meal with you in the cafeteria. If you don't have time, I'll go to Jiachen to see you."
Min Xi couldn't refuse this request. She didn't want to argue or have a cold war. She had been away for three or four months, and it wouldn't make sense for her not to see her.
If they still decide to divorce after calming down, this should be their last meeting before the divorce.
She thought for a moment and said, "I'll go see you."
