Chen Cixiu has been busy conducting background checks on the shareholders and partners of the company that Xu Shaoan is going to invest in these past two days, so he has been staying outside.
Jiang Yu only saw the message from Chen Cixiu on his phone after he got home from get off work, saying that he had gone to do a background check.
She usually doesn't need to worry about these minor company matters. She only takes the lead when collaborating with companies of similar backgrounds. Therefore, Manager Liao didn't need to report this matter directly to her, and she didn't know immediately that Chen Cixiu was conducting a background check.
Tonight, Jiang Yu experienced an unusual bout of insomnia. Before Chen Cixiu arrived, she had long been accustomed to this kind of insomnia, but since the two of them got their marriage certificate and started living together, she had never had insomnia again and could sleep comfortably every day.
Even if Chen Cixiu was just lying in bed playing on his phone, she still felt at ease.
But she went to the company the next day with dark circles under her eyes, which shows how serious her insomnia was.
She asked Chen Cixiu when he would finish the background check.
While munching on his bread, Chen Cixiu stared at the recent bank statements of a certain shareholder of the company, which his colleague had sent to him on his computer.
Financially speaking alone, this company is unable to secure Series B funding.
I wonder if Xu Shaoan got kicked in the head by a donkey.
While conducting background checks is not easy, the good thing is that most of these people's information is publicly available. Once you find out whether they have hidden assets and specific debts, and whether they have the ability to repay their loans, the work is considered complete.
It was indeed tedious, and the only consolation for Chen Cixiu during this day and a half was the caring WeChat message from Jiang Yu.
[It probably won't be over until tomorrow; there are still a few people to be investigated. Does your stomach still hurt today?]
After sending the message, Chen Cixiu put down his phone and focused on his work.
Jiang Yu replied quickly, almost instantly.
It took Chen Cixiu thirty or forty minutes to reply to her WeChat message.
[Your stomach doesn't hurt anymore today. Have you eaten?]
Not yet, I need to work first. I have to go out of town in a bit, but I should be back tomorrow afternoon.
[No need to rush back. If you're too tired, take a good rest.]
Upon seeing the WeChat message, Chen Cixiu didn't reply, but muttered, "How could I not reply? You have a gathering to attend."
According to Gu Qianqian, many of their classmates will be bringing their families tonight, and quite a few will be bringing their children.
At their age, there aren't many people left who aren't married.
At the age of 27 or 28, most of those who are eligible to get married are already married. Those who are not yet married are either in a relationship or busy with work. There are very few single people in their class, just a handful.
Therefore, Gu Qianqian suggested that he should go that day as well.
Anyway, Jiang Yu has already let him appear in his private social circle, and many classmates have seen it. Under these circumstances, it wouldn't make sense for him to let his beautiful wife attend the party alone.
Jiang Yu, sitting in her office, looked at the words "cannot be brought back" and felt a little disappointed.
After getting off work in the afternoon, she lay down on the sofa, wondering what Chen Cixiu was doing. For some reason, she had been missing him terribly these past two days.
Jiang Yu stared blankly at the ceiling, then opened her phone to check for messages, but WeChat was deathly silent, just like when she had scolded the entire marketing department in a meeting that morning, and they were all silent then as well.
Ding-dong!
She had just put her phone down when it rang. She smiled as she opened it, only to be disappointed to see the name Gu Qianqian.
[Something big has happened. Lin Mo is also going to the party tomorrow night.]
Lin Mo?
Jiang Yu was taken aback. The phone rang immediately, and after Gu Qianqian finished her explanation, she grasped the key point.
"You mean Cixiu is going tomorrow too?"
Gu Qianqian: "???"
Isn't the focus on Lin Mo?
Have you forgotten your crush from your teenage years, sister?
She couldn't help but ask.
"Male god? What makes someone a male god? What did I do to make you misunderstand him as my male god?"
Jiang Yu was completely confused.
"No, didn't you send him a love letter back in your senior year of high school? And he rejected you. He got together with Li Xinyi after the college entrance exam."
...
Jiang Yu was speechless.
"No wonder you've never mentioned Lin Mo all these years. Every time you do, you quickly brush it off. So you thought I liked Lin Mo?" Jiang Yu explained, "That wasn't a love letter I gave to Lin Mo. It was one that Li Xinyi was going to give to Lin Mo. She had an upset stomach at the time, so she asked me to deliver it for her. What were you thinking? I was only focused on studying, how could I possibly be thinking about such things?"
Gu Qianqian was at a loss for words. So all these years had been a misunderstanding?
It's been a misunderstanding for a whole ten years.
"Hang up."
Just as Gu Qianqian was about to continue chatting, she suddenly heard Jiang Yu's two inexplicable words.
Ultimately, a conclusion was reached.
She was abandoned.
Jiang Yu was wondering what to talk to Chen Cixiu about when Gu Qianqian provided a topic.
She immediately made a phone call.
Having finished his day's work, Chen Cixiu sat in the restaurant, eating while reviewing documents.
Just then, Jiang Yu called.
"I heard you're going to my high school reunion tomorrow too?" Jiang Yu asked bluntly.
Chen Cixiu suddenly felt that just hearing the voice wasn't enough, so he hung up the phone.
The phone call had just ended when Jiang Yu looked on in disbelief. What was he doing? Why did he hang up on him?
In less than two seconds, he imagined a whole drama unfold, and as soon as the video call was requested, he immediately smiled.
She quickly tidied her messy hair, then sat up straight, held her phone at an angle where her upper body could be seen, and then answered the call.
