Chapter 129 Are You Feeling Sorry for Me?
He Yanting woke up quickly.
When he opened his eyes, he saw the snow-white ceiling. He heard the sound of papers being flipped, and he turned his head to look.
Jiang Xu sat on the sofa with a document spread out on his knees.
She lowered her head and looked intently, a few strands of hair falling from the sides of her face, and her cheeks were as smooth as white jade.
Time seemed to have passed her by.
She was as beautiful as she was four years ago, but seemed to have an indescribable aura that made people unable to take their eyes off her.
She was wearing an ill-fitting, baggy shirt with a loose collar, and the red marks on her neck were very eye-catching.
Looking down again, I saw her hand, slender and white, placed on the document.
On the ring finger, the diamond ring flashed a dazzling light.
He Yanting frowned and couldn't bear to watch it anymore.
He looked away, looking at the ceiling, his voice a little weak and hoarse: "Just now... I'm sorry."
The sudden sound made Jiang Xu look up suddenly.
When her eyes met He Yanting's, her face darkened slightly.
After hesitating for a moment, she suppressed her anger and said, "If you really feel sorry, then eat well."
He Yanting's Adam's apple rolled slightly and he nodded: "Okay."
Jiang Xu stood up, opened the door, and said to Gao Cheng, "He's willing to eat."
Gao Cheng and the group of sad-looking bodyguards were stunned when they heard this, and then showed a look of surprise.
Gao Cheng was the first to react and immediately said, "Quick, send someone to bring the food over!"
Ten minutes later, several light dishes were placed in front of He Yanting.
But he obviously had no appetite.
He stirred the millet porridge with the spoon, but didn't eat a single bite for a long time.
Gao Cheng couldn't bear to watch it any longer: "Mr. He, please eat."
He Yanting took a bite, frowned, and pushed the bowl away with a disgusted expression: "No appetite."
Gao Cheng was about to speak when Jiang Xu, who was not far away, suddenly said, "Even if you don't have an appetite, you have to eat it all."
He Yanting looked at her with a pitiful look in his eyes.
Jiang Xu took a deep breath and slowed down his tone: "You must take care of your body."
He Yanting held the spoon and asked, "Are you feeling sorry for me?"
Jiang Xu's face was cold, and he turned away and said, "No, I just don't want anything to happen to you because of me. I can't bear the responsibility."
The light in He Yanting's eyes gradually dimmed, and he lowered his head and drank his porridge silently.
He ate very slowly, swallowing each bite with great effort, and he really didn't seem to have much of an appetite.
Finally, I finished eating everything.
Jiang Xu stood up and said to Gao Cheng, "Assistant Gao, can I have my clothes now?"
Being stared at by her eyes that saw through everything but didn't say anything, Gao Cheng laughed awkwardly twice: "It's all Xiao Jiang's fault. Why is it so slow? I'll go and urge him again."
Soon, Xiao Jiang came back and handed the bag to Jiang Xu.
He bought a similar piece of clothing from the same brand as the one Jiang Xu was wearing. Jiang Xu went to the bathroom to change her clothes and picked up her bag.
"Goodbye."
He Yanting moved his lips, wanting to call her, but he couldn't open his mouth.
In what capacity did he allow her to stay?
She already has a family and even children.
When He Yanting thought of the scene of her hugging that girl, his heart felt like it was torn apart.
He Linxi called for his mother even when he was sleeping, but his mother was holding another child.
Give up?
Do you accept this result?
He Yanting leaned back and hit the wall hard. The pain seemed to make his brain clearer.
He closed his eyes and did not move at all.
A moment later.
“Elevation.”
He suddenly spoke, his voice was not loud, but with an inexplicable firmness.
Gao Cheng walked in: "Mr. He, what do you want?"
He Yanting slowly opened his eyes, his narrow black pupils deep and cold: "Go follow her, I want to know everything about her current situation."
Gao Cheng replied: "Yes, I'll do it right away."
He turned and went out to convey the message to the bodyguard.
Xiao Jiang was surprised: "What do you mean, Mr. He? Didn't you say she's married to someone else? Then Mr. He's behavior..."
Gao Cheng said, "Tell this to Mr. He."
Xiao Jiang said, "Even if you give me another gut, I still wouldn't dare."
After leaving the hospital, Jiang Xu was stared at by strange eyes on her neck all the way. She turned up her collar, but still couldn't completely cover up the marks.
So I went to the mall and bought a silk scarf to cover my neck tightly. By the time I arrived at Xinrong Investment Company, it was almost noon.
He Qi still looked nonchalant, with his legs knocking on the table.
"Dr. Jiang's mental state is better than I thought. He came back so soon."
Jiang Xu ignored his teasing, sat down opposite him, and handed him a stack of information.
"This is the profit forecast after the project is completed. Mr. He, please review it."
He Qi raised an eyebrow, took the document and looked through it quickly, and said, "Who did this?"
Jiang Xu said: "I did it."
He Qi smiled and said, "Dr. Jiang is truly multi-talented, but the profit-sharing ratio I mentioned last time will not change. If you can accept it, then cooperate. Otherwise, forget it."
Jiang Xu frowned, "80% is too high. We provided the core technology, so we should get at least 50%."
"Then there's nothing to talk about."
He Qi waved his hand and called the secretary, "Show him away."
Jiang Xu didn't expect that he would just chase her away. She got angry and turned around and left without saying anything.
He Qi shook his head secretly, his face showing disdain: "50%, ridiculous."
As I was laughing, the phone suddenly rang.
Seeing who was calling, he was a little surprised and quickly picked up the phone: "Mr. He, you rarely call me. Don't you usually ask Assistant Gao to give me orders? What can I do for you?"
He Yanting's voice came out in a low voice: "Did a woman named Jiang Xu visit you?"
He was even more surprised when he heard this name from He Yanting.
"How do you know that?"
"You don't need to know."
He Yanting ignored his doubts and asked, "What is she going there for?"
"She's the technical director of the Lyle Group. She's the one I mentioned last time, the one collaborating with University A. This is the second time she's come to me for negotiations."
He Qi laughed disdainfully as he spoke, "The Lyle Group only offers one technology, yet they dare to ask for 50%. I've always been stuck at 80%. Didn't you see how angry she was today? Her face turned red, and she walked away in disgrace."
There was silence on the phone for two seconds.
He Yanting said coldly: "Is it so funny?"
He was stunned.
He hadn't known He Yanting for long, but it had been two years, so he knew him quite well.
He usually doesn't dictate his working methods.
He actually heard a warning in that sound just now, which was completely baffling.
He coughed dryly and then became serious: "I've calculated that if we want to provide all the investment excluding technology, we need to get at least 50% to avoid losses. If we want to make money, we need to get more than 65%."
As soon as the words fell, He Yanting said calmly: "Promise her."
"What did you say?"
He thought he had heard wrongly.
He Yanting's tone was calm: "I agreed to her request, 50% share."
He Qi stood up quickly and said excitedly, "50%. We might not make any profit at all. It would be all in vain."
He Yanting said: "For her, what I want is not profit."
I don't understand.
Before he could ask more, He Yanting instructed, "But don't be too abrupt. Talk a few more times and make some concessions. In the end, we must achieve cooperation."
"Also, don't reveal any information about me to her, especially not a single word about our conversation today."
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
Listening to the busy tone on the phone, He Qi's face was full of question marks.
No, is that reasonable?
Working for free without making any money, is this He Yanting's style?
He said that he is not pursuing profit from Jiang Xu, so what is he pursuing?
Feelings?
Having known He Yanting for two years, He Qi felt that it was impossible for He Yanting to have any human emotions, especially towards women.
