Seeing the driver's nervous appearance, Ji Fenghe didn't want to make things difficult for him, so he thought for a moment and uttered two words.
"Yunxing".
Alright!
The driver immediately felt a sense of relief and stepped on the gas, and the car sped off on the road.
Since we have nowhere to go, we might as well go to Yunxing and drive the car back, so we don't have to take a taxi to the company tomorrow morning.
Twenty minutes later, the taxi stopped downstairs at Yunxing Group. The man got out of the car and prepared to go to the parking lot to drive his car. However, as soon as he reached the parking lot, he realized that he had casually left his car keys on the table when he went home.
The car was definitely not going to move. He glanced at the brightly lit Yunxing office building, but had no desire to go back to his office for even a moment.
Never mind, let's just go home.
With that thought in mind, he found the nearest bus stop and prepared to take a taxi back.
Song Maigang and Lin Ran were about to drive home when they saw a somewhat familiar figure in the distance as they passed the bus stop near the company.
As the car drew closer, Song Mai became increasingly certain of who the figure was.
The car window rolled down, revealing the woman's bright face.
"Manager Ji, what are you still doing here?"
She had clearly seen him off three hours ago, so why was he still standing downstairs at the company building at almost nine o'clock?
Could it be that he came back to check if Yao Qianyu had left?
The car was well-heated, but as soon as the window was opened, a blast of cold air rushed into the car, instantly dissipating the warmth. Song Mai shivered, rolled up the window a little, and spoke to him, only showing the upper half of her face.
The northwest wind tousled the man's hair. He pulled his coat tighter around himself. It was getting late and the temperature was dropping. Standing on the exposed bus stop platform was indeed quite cold.
"I only realized I left my car keys at home when I got back to drive."
Song Mai silently gave him a thumbs up.
Someone who can go home and then run back to drive the car without even bringing the keys is quite a talent.
"Why don't you buy a car developed by Yunxing? I heard it can be unlocked with a fingerprint, so you don't have to worry about having a bad memory."
She spoke earnestly, giving him advice with a very sincere expression.
Ji Fenghe couldn't help but purse his lips.
"You're in the translation department, not the sales department in marketing."
Sensing the sarcasm in the man's words, Song Mai scoffed.
"It seems like it's not easy for you to get a taxi around here. Where do you live? How about I give you a ride?"
It was really hard to get a taxi today. Ji Feng and I didn't know what was going on. Even though Yunxing Group's office building was located in the city center, the most bustling area, it was unusual that we couldn't get a taxi even after trying for half a day.
He has been trying several ride-hailing platforms at the same time, but no one has accepted his order, and the taxi has not come.
Even if there is a taxi available, it is always full of passengers, and it won't stop even if he waves it down on the roadside.
"That will be troublesome. Let's go to Heyue Boting."
Ji Feng seemed a bit off today. When Song Mai ran into him just after get off work, even though he was blocked in the parking lot by Yao Qianyu and couldn't leave, he wasn't as gloomy as he is now.
He opened the car door and got in without saying a word. The atmosphere around him was terrifyingly tense, and his face was extremely pale.
Song Mai closed the car window and checked the navigation on her phone. This residential area happened to be near hers, less than a kilometer away, so giving him a ride home was on the way.
Ji Fenghe's eyes were slightly closed, and his eyes were bloodshot.
After glancing at him a few times, Song Mai finally couldn't help but ask:
"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Ji Fenghe rubbed his temples, looking somewhat tired, and was unwilling to say more.
"fine."
"oh."
He didn't want to talk about it, so she didn't ask and just drove silently.
Halfway there, dark clouds rolled in, and rain suddenly began to fall. The rain pattered against the car window, and the man sighed, his voice low and somber.
Would you like to hear a story?
"you say."
"Once upon a time, there was a very beautiful girl. She was the only daughter of the chairman of a well-known local company. Through an introduction, she met the son of another listed company. This man was handsome and talented. The two fell in love at first sight. Because it was a political marriage, they got married soon after falling in love. After marriage, they lived in harmony, and the two companies supported each other until the girl became pregnant."
After becoming pregnant, the girl experienced some discomfort and, at her husband's urging, decided to stay home and rest. Her father, being older and unable to manage the company, and considering the husband's competence and skillful management, decided to entrust the company to his son-in-law for the time being, until his daughter gave birth and took over.
At this point, Ji Fenghe glanced out the window and took a deep breath.
Song Mai drove steadily, and when she saw that he didn't continue speaking, she turned to look at him.
"Then what?"
The man adjusted to a more comfortable position, his voice flowing slowly, like the gentle murmur of a stream.
"Then, after the girl gave birth, the man said he hoped she would take good care of her health and go back to work. The girl was already a bit weak, and childbirth had taken a lot of her energy, so she agreed. When the child turned one year old, she thought she could take care of her own company. The man then said he was worried about leaving the child entirely with a nanny and asked the girl to stay home to raise the child, promising that he would manage the company well. However, during this time, the man had been gradually transferring the girl's father's important projects and assets to his own company. In just a few years, the girl's father's company had become an empty shell. Although the girl's father knew about this situation, he was old and in poor health and was unable to take care of it."
Moreover, the man put on a good show of saving face and said nice things. He repeatedly assured the girl's father that he was only doing this for the sake of the company's development and because he was in a difficult situation. He also said that the two families had become one, so there was no need to be so clear about the division. He added that he would definitely treat the girl well in the future and make her happy for the rest of her life. He also said that all the property would belong to their son in the future, and that the girl's father should not think too much about it.
The girl's father had been in business for many years, and being a man himself, he knew that his son-in-law's words could not be trusted. However, he was old, and even though he knew in his heart that the man was not a good person, he was helpless. He was also worried that if he fell out with the man, the man would become even more unscrupulous and swallow up his company and treat his daughter badly. At this moment, he could only ask the man to love his daughter.
The man verbally agreed and outwardly seemed to treat the girl well, but managing two companies simultaneously meant he was busier every day, and he was coming home later and less often.
