At the beginning of the month, the villa underwent a comprehensive cleaning campaign?.
New Year's Day is a public holiday, and the next day is the weekend. Many people in my circle of friends took advantage of the three-day holiday to travel.
It was the holiday season. Chen He should have had his own private time, but he still went to the villa to arrange the housework.
Fortunately, the process has been done many times and the secretary does not need to worry too much.
The boss and the secretary had a brief exchange: "Were you alone on New Year's Eve the day before yesterday?"
Due to the need to transform at the end of the month, the boss and the secretary never meet on New Year's Eve every year.
But they still chat online and say hello to each other.
Chen He said: "No, I'm with a few friends." He has always been popular and has friends visiting him during every festival. Although he is an orphan and has no other relatives, he lives a happy life.
He? He always thinks about the boss: "What about you?"
"How am I doing? Not bad."
The beginning of the month is often the happiest time for Yan Yongwang, because at this time he can devote himself to his work without having to worry about the troubles brought about by the transformation.
Of course, after meeting a lot of friends while filming last year, the so-called transformation is not that difficult to accept.
At least he can hang out with friends when he is a "chao juan". Life is even more colorful and interesting than being the president of Yan's.
I had a New Year's Eve dinner with Chao Lingxi the night before yesterday. The meal he cooked was actually quite good, except for the last dessert, the glutinous rice balls, which didn't taste quite to Yan Yongwang's liking.
Yan Yongwang is a loyal fan of sesame glutinous rice balls—of course, when I say fan, I just prefer sesame filling among many flavors.
But Chao Lingxi prefers peanut flavor.
The two argued about the taste, and finally Lingxi compromised: "Okay, sesame taste is better."
Yan Yong was a little proud of himself, but when he got home he realized how childish he was: How could he be so childish that he could talk to Lingxi for so long just about taste?
…
Chen He came in a hurry today and didn't have time to eat lunch, so the boss and the secretary ordered food and ate together.
During the meal, Chen He's phone received a message pushed by the software.
He took a look and suddenly hummed.
"how?"
The housekeeping staff had already cleaned the room thoroughly, and there were only two of them in the kitchen and dining area.
Yan Yongwang picked up his chopsticks, slowly picked up a dish he wanted to eat, and asked him?
"...I saw someone I know."
Yan Yongwang: “Hmm?”
Chen He turned the phone screen to him and said, "Look, this beauty, do you see it?"
The message pushed by the software is related to the crew of "Ruthless Road", and the title is: [The cast of "Ruthless Road" chats outdoors on New Year's Eve]
It looks like a news push bought by the crew.
Because this title seems to have no explosive points?
The attached photos are worth paying attention to. The people above are all familiar faces in the entertainment industry, including Chen Haohan, Xu Bailing, Fang Jinchu and others.
...Of course, there is another one, Chao Juan.
Yan Yongwang's expression remained unchanged. He swiped his finger across the screen of Chen He's phone and saw several photos of him and Chen Haohan sitting on a bench. In the photos, the distance between the two was not too close, leaving no room for onlookers to imagine.
The background is a thin layer of snow that has not yet melted, covering the city buildings. The gray and white blend together, as if it is a tender and slightly cool dream.
In the last photo, Xu Bailing is sitting between them, talking to him with his face turned sideways.
The beautiful actress managed her facial expressions very well, with shallow bags under her eyes and a genuine smile. She showed a sweet and happy smile to the cold-faced beauty.
In the photo, his face - in other words, a tired face, was full and frosty in the sunlight outdoors.
Her eyes and eyebrows are cold. I don't know if this was chosen accidentally during the filming? When she had no emotions, it was deliberately chosen to best fit the character of the third female lead in "The Ruthless Road". She looks very cold and arrogant, and very noble.
Even wearing a furry scarf that looked a bit childish couldn't make her expression soft and gentle.
The cold is everlasting, like an iceberg.
Shen He: "Just this beautiful lady."
"The one next to Chen Haohan," Chen He was referring to the first photo, where they were sitting on a bench, one at each end, "very pretty, wearing a black down jacket and a white scarf."
After saying that, he thought for a while and asked Yan Yongwang: "Do you remember that I told you last time that when I was on a business trip in Ancheng, I met Chengpin He and his friends?"
Yan Yongwang's fingertips were still on the phone screen, his eyes were fixed, he lowered his eyelids, and hummed softly. At the same time, his ears perked up, waiting patiently for him to continue.
Chen He looked at his response and knew that he had remembered, so he said, "It's her, the ice beauty I was talking about who looks a bit like you.
”
Yan Yongwang: “Oh.” An ordinary answer.
He replied with a single word, but didn't know what to say. He hesitated for half a second and coughed twice, "And then?"
Shen He: "I didn't expect she was an actress?"
"I thought she was some rich girl," Chen He put his phone away, frowned and searched for relevant information about her, looked at her, paused. After a moment, he slowly said, "So she is a rich girl pursuing her dream of entering the entertainment industry?"
Yan Yongwang was so shocked by his words that he choked on his water.
Chen He: "Boss, please pay attention. Eat."
As he spoke, he did not forget to check his phone and chat: "She really doesn't seem to be short of money, why would she want to act?" Although he was puzzled, he did not expect an answer. After all, this was a private discussion between him and his boss.
The boss said, “Maybe it’s just a coincidence?”
Chen He raised his head in surprise and met Yan Yongwang's eyes. His boss was looking at him with an unpredictable look, then turned to the food on the table and said calmly: "... Of course, I was just guessing."
Chen He thought that his boss was just agreeing with him casually and didn't take his words too seriously.
Talking to yourself?: "I added her contact information a while ago."
"when?"
"Last time when I was eating, I went to try the new dish made by Chef Ding." Inexplicably, under the boss's gaze, Chen He explained the circumstances surrounding his encounter with Chao Juan, and then he added, "Oh, by the way, Chao Lingxi was with her that time."
"I think Miss Chao Lingxi and Miss Chao Juan should be relatives?" Chen He asked tentatively.
Chen He had not specifically asked Yan Yongwang before, but when he met Qiao'er today, they mentioned Chao Juan during their conversation, and Chen He naturally asked about this question that he had been curious about for a long time.
"..." Yan Yongwang put down his chopsticks and wiped his mouth with a tissue. He was well-educated. "Yes."
Chen He: “Eh…”
He realized that Yan Yongwang's answer this time was affirmative, and affirmative meant that in addition to knowing Chao Lingxi, he also knew Chao Juan.
"Boss, you..."
He saw Yan Yongwang calmly lower his eyes, his voice was deep and cold, with his usual indifference and no emotion at all, and he said, "I know them."
"Huh?"
"Why, is it weird?" Yan Yongwang asked him back with a calm look.
Chen He: "How could that be? This is normal."
He laughed dryly twice. He didn't know why he always felt that the boss's gaze on him was a little strange, and his tailbone felt a chill.
So he tried to save his dignity by saying, "After all, you know Chao Lingxi, and Chao Juan has the same last name as him... Hey, they can't be father and daughter, right?"
Yan Yongwang's face was blank, thinking how could Chen He be so smart? !
But he didn't say much. To outsiders, he just knew Chao Lingxi and Chao Juan. As for whether Chao Lingxi and Chao Juan had any father-daughter relationship, legally speaking, there was no relationship at all, so he didn't know how to answer. As the saying goes, too much talk leads to mistakes, so it's better for him not to answer.
If Chen He asked Chao Lingxi in person, Chao Lingxi would be happy to tell him that it was indeed the case. But if he asked "Chao Juan"...
Yan Yongwang has not yet fallen into such a situation, and he doesn't know how to best answer at that time... so he just ignores it for now.
He remained silent, as if he agreed, but also as if he was telling Chen He that he didn't quite understand.
Finally, Shen He carefully asked: "Are they related?"
Yan Yongwang nodded, "As for whether they are father and daughter, I don't really know."
Shen He was thoughtful.
…
After Chen He returned home, he thought carefully about what happened today when he mentioned Chao Juan.
When I first showed my phone to my boss, he stared at the photo of Chao Juan for a long time. When I took my phone back, he withdrew his hand "reluctantly".
When mentioning Chao Juan, there was a feeling as if he knew her very well but was reluctant to say more.
Like it's hiding some secret.
Chen He understood Yan Yongwang. He was at home recalling his boss today... He was in a good mood, and his expression was no different from his usual coldness, except that his tone was not obvious and confusing.
Before Chen He entered the palace, he had guessed that Yan Yongwang knew Chao Lingxi, and maybe? Or maybe? he also knew Chao Juan.
The guess was confirmed to be true, and Chen He felt that his reasoning skills were quite good.
But he didn't expect that when Yan Yongwang mentioned Chao Juan, his tone seemed, perhaps, a little wrong.
It's the kind of tone that says, "I care a little bit, but I'm trying hard to pretend that I don't care that much."
Well, Chen He didn't quite understand what happened between them, but he thought that Yan Yongwang was very familiar with Chao Lingxi, and he was probably not just an acquaintance with Chao Juan.
After what happened today, he had an idea in his mind.
==
In mid-January, the Yan family annual meeting opened with great grandeur.
Every year’s annual meeting will be broadcast live, with the live broadcast room open so that the audience can see the performances on stage.
The scale of Yan's annual meeting is comparable to the New Year's Eve party of local satellite TV stations. At the annual meeting, in addition to young bosses taking the stage to speak, the most popular boy and girl groups will be invited to liven up the atmosphere.
The host is also a regular guest of a gold medal program of Capital TV. He is very versatile and eloquent.
Of course, there are also performances organized by our own employees in the song and dance performances, but the proportion is not large. It all depends on enthusiastic registration. It is not mandatory for every department or branch to send people to participate.
It is precisely because of this custom that there is no mandatory requirement to participate in singing and dancing performances that everyone is looking forward to the annual meeting.
In addition, the lucky draw activities at the annual meeting are also something that makes people scream wildly on Weibo every year.
In last year's lottery, the first prize was a house worth one million, the second prize was a car worth hundreds of thousands, the third prize was a special prize, and so on... basically all started at tens of thousands of yuan.
Weibo users said: Yan family is so arrogant!
It can be said that this is the most generous annual meeting raffle prize among companies in the same industry.
With the development of the Internet, Yan's name has become a household name. Everyone knows that Yan's has star-rated hotel industries all over the country, rapidly developing Internet industries that follow policies... and it has a leading position in online shopping software, payment software, and so on.
It can be said that it is one of the indispensable enterprises for the people of the whole country.
If Yan's goes bankrupt, the employment and lives of at least one million people across the country will be affected. Therefore, since the moment he took over Yan's, Yan Yongwang has taken every step very cautiously.
He was afraid that the Yan family's foundation would be damaged because of some careless action of his.
Fortunately, he has a unique talent for business and a heart devoted to work. He never spends too much time on irrelevant things and can be regarded as a model worker among CEOs.
There weren't even any scandals - all the rumors that were spread in the first few years were refuted by Yan Yongwang one by one. No matter whether it was the men or women who were trying to get attention, they had nothing to do with him.
At the annual meeting, Yan Yongwang finished his speech. He looked energetic, not tired at all, and walked off the stage with a stern face.
Shen He stood up from the stage and handed a coat to the boss.
The venue for the annual meeting is large and has indoor heating, but it cannot fully encompass the entire venue.
The male and female group artists who were preparing to dance backstage also put hot packs on their bodies for fear of getting frozen.
The temperature on the stage was low, so in order to maintain a decent image, Yan Yongwang went on stage in a suit and leather shoes, which perfectly showed his shoulder-waist proportions. He buttoned up his clothes meticulously and tied his tie very nicely.
For the live broadcast, the team also put makeup on their boss.
It covered up the dark circles under the eyes caused by staying up late recently, making the whole person look very energetic.
Yan Yongwang combed all his hair back, revealing his smooth forehead. He seldom sweats and hardly shivers when he is cold. Under the live camera, he can even remain calm for many minutes.
He has handsome eyebrows and focused eyes. He is too good-looking and has a tall and strong body.
As soon as Yan Yongwang appeared on the stage, the employees below started cheering.
Just like in previous years, Chen He watched his boss speaking on the stage with a smile on his face, talking about the company's performance last year and looking forward to this year's prospects.
His tone is humble and his voice is restrained, which makes people feel safe.
He opened the live broadcast room from the audience and saw some viewers posting in the barrage, praising Coach Yan and praising his "really good" performance this year.
I searched the stock price again, and as expected, after the annual meeting, the stock price will be up again.
Their young president is already a leader that shareholders can trust.
Chen He was extremely pleased, but after the speech, she was afraid that he would feel cold, so she started to worry about him.
He handed over the coat hurriedly.
There were a few pieces of warm baby patches that had been prepared in advance stuck inside the coat. Yan Yongwang did not refuse and put on a loose woolen coat over the suit. Feeling warm, he politely said thank you to Chen He.
Chen He: "You're welcome, please take a seat."
The secretary sits in the secretarial department with his colleagues from the same department.
Yan Yongwang sat back in his seat, next to him were several vice presidents of the company.
Vice President Sun: “Little President Yan is awesome.” Even though he is the vice president uncle who has been with my parents for many years, we are still used to calling him “Little President Yan” after all these years.
Yan Yongwang: “You’re welcome.”
The other vice presidents next to him chatted about family matters for a while, and the host on the stage had already started introducing the next program, which was a young boy band that was currently popular in the entertainment industry.
The vice presidents didn't know much about young people and were asking each other who the handsome guys on the stage were.
Vice President Sun was a little proud: "I know, this is the Sun*** group!" He read out the English name, and a vice president asked him how he knew it. Vice President Sun continued: "My daughter told me, she likes the boys in this group!"
Yan Yongwang didn't say anything, but just secretly listened to the conversation between the vice presidents.
When the boy band on the stage started dancing, the atmosphere in the audience became very hot and everyone was excited.
Yan Yongwang asked Vice President Sun out of the blue, "Your daughter likes hamsters, right?"
Vice President Sun: “…”
stay.
Then? said: "Ah, yes, how did Mr. Yan know that?"
Yan Yongwang was shy - of course, in the eyes of others, he only spoke softly and with a calm look, and said to Vice President Sun very sincerely: "I heard it from the employees."
Vice President Sun was still racking his brains to figure out if he had forgotten to block President Xiao Yan from sharing his daughter's daily life. After all, he had always felt that President Xiao Yan preferred the image of a very reliable and professional vice president, so every time he posted daily content on WeChat Moments, it was displayed in groups.
When I heard him say this, I knew I didn't forget to block it.
Then, Vice President Sun heard Xiao Yan casually say, "I know someone who sells handmade pet clothes. Does your child need any?"
"Handmade clothes?"
Vice President Sun has never heard of such a new word. He is in his forties and almost fifty. His baby daughter was his second child who was unexpectedly conceived ten years ago. In the past two years, the child has been obsessed with small animals, and her favorite recently is the little white hamster she raised.
The little girl held the little mouse in her hands and fed it melon seeds and corn kernels every day.
The whole family accompanied my daughter to watch Xiaobai running on the wheel. She didn't like mice at first, but she didn't expect that hamsters were so cute.
Its whole body is snow-white, and it eats clean food purchased from the market. It is quite interesting to watch.
Vice President Sun asked hesitantly, "What is handmade clothing?"
"They make sweaters for small animals." In fact, it is equivalent to putting clothes on cats and dogs, but the one Yan Yongwang knows is a man who makes clothes for small animals. He sent him the contact information, "I think your daughter should like it."
Dressing her pet in beautiful clothes is something the little girl loves to do.
Vice President Sun received the contact information and added that person to his circle of friends. He was delighted: "Very good, really good looking."
The shopkeeper made underwear for many small animals - foxes, squirrels, parrots, hamsters, etc.
“My daughter must be very happy.”
Yan Yongwang said in a gentle voice: "That's good."
After a while, Vice President Sun couldn't help but ask curiously, "Boss Yan, do you also raise animals?"
Yan Yongwang looked towards the stage and did not say that he wanted to improve his image as a "ruthless and cold workaholic" in the vice president's mind. He just said in a roundabout way: "My friend has animals. I saw him dress his pets in clothes and take photos, and then promote it in his circle of friends."
"I thought you might need it, so I left my contact information."
Vice President Sun: “Thank you!”
Yan Yongwang didn't say anything else. After a while, Vice President Sun said, "Wait until my daughter has picked out the handmade clothes and put them on Xiao Bai at home, and then I'll show them to President Yan!"
He nodded happily and said okay, then added: "If it's inconvenient, you don't have to."
Yan Yongwang said so, and Vice President Sun was not stupid, so he naturally understood the implication of his words. He smiled and decided in his heart that next time he would not block President Yan from his daughter and Xiaobai's circle of friends.
Of course, Vice President Sun was still a little surprised.
He thought: In the past few years, Mr. Yan devoted all his attention to work and paid little attention to other things in life. But now he has changed a bit and seems to have become more humane.

Annual meeting? Ending that night.
Yan Yongwang received the message from Chao Lingxi.
During this period, Yan Yongwang never asked him about his opinion on the novel "The Ruthless Way". He was very patient and waited for Chao Lingxi to "surrender voluntarily".
Was there any point in waiting? It took more than ten days before there was any progress.
Chao Lingxi asked him: "Have you read the ending of the novel "The Ruthless Way"? "
There was no video call pop-up, but a voice message was sent instead. You should know that before this, Chao Lingxi liked to contact him via video the most.
There were two reasons for loving video calls before: one was that he wanted to see Yan Yongwang; the other was that when Yan Yongwang and he had video calls, it was often the female body.
My daughter looks so beautiful and cute in the camera. As an old father, I can’t get enough of looking at her.
But today, when he contacted him, he used voice, as if this way he could choose his words carefully so that he could make the most appropriate and correct response.
“I have.”
Yan Yongwang also sent a voice message to him?
"In the novel's ending, You Xiao was knocked unconscious by Hua Rongying... His plan to destroy the world failed."
Chao Lingxi: "...What do you think? Is this story well told?"
Yan Yongwang couldn't figure out what he meant by this sentence, so he clicked it again and listened to it again, then replied: "I think it's very good."
"Not to mention the ending, at least the world created by the author is very interesting..." Yan Yongwang recalled the description of the world background in the novel, whether it was the mortal world where the protagonist Ding Xuance lived before he became an immortal, or the places in the world of cultivation he encountered when playing various copies after he became an immortal.
The writing is excellent and the description is interesting, making the reader feel as if they are actually there.
From an artistic perspective, this is a very good novel.
No wonder so many readers like it.
Chao Lingxi hesitated and asked: "So, which character do you like best?"
Yan Yongwang didn't know why, but he always felt that there was another meaning behind his words.
He told him: "I like the protagonist."
Silence, silence.
Chao Lingxi didn't reply for a long time.
After a while, he finally sent a voice message, asking cautiously: "What do you think of You Xiao?"
Yan Yongwang thought, here it comes.
The secret he has been waiting to know may be solved at this moment.
He replied: "Why do you ask?"
Chao Lingxi seemed to regret it again and wanted to withdraw his words, but it was useless because Yan Yongwang had already heard his questions.
So he said, "Just asking for your opinion on him."
He seemed to be nonchalant. He was quite smart. He knew that during video conversations, he would always easily reveal his emotions, but during voice conversations, he would have plenty of time to disguise his emotions.
Yan Yongwang: "The villain with the same name as you?"
He actually remembered it clearly, a description that only appeared in one paragraph in the novel of one million words.
"I think?—"
"He's a little silly. He doesn't know how to cherish something until he loses it." Yan Yongwang said expressionlessly and sent it.
There was no reply from the other end until Yan Yongwang got tired of waiting and sent a question mark.
Send a string of text to Lingxi.
"You're right. Anyone who doesn't know how to cherish until he loses it is a fool."
"Fools don't deserve to be liked."
The author has something to say: Yanyan is a tall man of 189cm! Very tall and handsome!
Lingxi is about two or three centimeters shorter than him.
Yan Yan is the most aggressive in the whole article! If placed in the ABO world, she would be an SSS-level Alpha!
