August 23. Working day.
For some reasons, Yan Yongwang had to take a day off temporarily - working from home.
His schedule is a bit tight, so he needs to work hard in the next few days to finish it.
At this time, Yan Yongwang inevitably felt tired. He has been brushing the screen for 256 hours a month since he was 18 years old.
Sleep time doesn't even count.
Of course, he doesn't need much sleep. When he is busy, it is normal for him to only sleep five to six hours a day.
The rest of the time, due to the nature of the work, it is difficult to devote more time to the transformed self.
August is not supposed to be a busy season, but he had a trip to Ancheng to pay respect to his parents, which meant he was unable to spend two full days normally. There was also a possible meeting at the end of the month - if it was confirmed, he couldn't just stay at home and work. Even though he had great authority, he still had to consider the schedules of his business partners sometimes.
Just like last year, he attended a meeting at the end of the month and almost got exposed. Fortunately, he entered Wang Chi's audition room in time and was not discovered by the secretary or business partners.
Therefore, he needs to finish all the hours as early as possible so that he can face the possible work at the end of the month in the best condition.
Most of the work today was redundant from last week. Yan Yongwang typed on the keyboard in front of the computer, recording data quickly. He poured himself a glass of warm water during lunch break, got enough sleep, and continued working in the afternoon.
When working, the door of the study is closed and the windows are not opened.
The sunlight falls nicely into the study, and even with the one-way glass, the sunlight does not discriminate.
The gauze curtain is very thin. In summer, the curtains in the house will be replaced with this thin, slightly refreshing light color. There are few patterns and lace, and it looks like a standardized curtain choice. However, once the sun shines into the house, the gauze curtain becomes bright, which makes people feel good.
This is a curtain category recommended by home experts, suitable for a grown man like Yan Yongwang. He doesn't have much pursuit for aesthetics, as long as he can stay indoors and it won't affect his mood when working or entertaining.
…
Time is ticking.
He put his phone aside and turned it to silent mode. A few hours ago, Chao Lingxi kept harassing him. He was a very old man. He hadn't seen Chao Juan for a long time, so he was very upset and kept wanting to contact him to chat.
Today Yan Yongwang decided to give him the cold shoulder because he needed to take care of his own business first.
Around three in the afternoon.
Solve a small problem temporarily and take a break.
There is a balance between work and relaxation. Even if there is a lot of work, there must also be entertainment.
He breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly remembered the idol drama that Xu Boling recommended to him on the plane a few months ago.
Yan Yongwang still remembers Xu Bailing's original words clearly, "There will be many TV series on TV in the first half of the year, which are very suitable for killing time and adjusting your mood."
Yan Yongwang, who had missed a lot of entertainment time because of Chao Lingxi and hadn't watched any serious movies or TV series for about a year or half, decided to search directly on his computer for a new drama that came out in the past six months.
There was still a document that he hadn't finished reading, so he decided to listen to the TV series and look at the document at the same time.
This was Yan Yongwang's previous habit. Before he met Chao Lingxi, he basically spent all the time he used up his identity as "Chao Juan" in the Yan family villa.
At this moment, clicking on the TV series called "Love in the Sky", Yan Yongwang thought casually that he had not tried this familiar way of brushing time for a long time.
Unexpectedly, I feel a little nostalgic.
Click the mouse to start playing.
The prelude sounded, the long and bright flute sound, and the singer's tender and gentle voice came out from the speakers along with the sound of the instruments.
Yan Yongwang was too lazy to click on the option to remove the advertisement, and chose to watch the file during this break. However, while watching, he was still thinking that the theme song of this TV series had a slightly melancholic feeling.
…
"We can't be together." The young and beautiful heroine looked at the handsome man in front of her with tears in her eyes. After she finished speaking, she held back her tears and repeated it again: "We can't--"
The man asked, "Why?"
He has a very good-looking face, and when he shows sadness, it makes people feel heartbroken: "We have been together for so long, just because we are related by blood? - Don't you want to be with me anymore?"
The heroine collapsed. She raised her face and wanted to touch the man, but she was timid. She could only shake her head, tears streaming down her face, and take a few steps back.
"We are brother and sister - even if we have the same father but different mothers, in terms of blood relationship, we are -"
"Brother and sister!"
…
The background music of the TV series sounded.
Yan Yong was stunned.
The pen in his hand fell down, and his face was stiff as he stared at the computer screen. However, despite being stiff, he was moved by the bloody orthopedic plot.
It's really inexplicable.
"But I love you--" The man didn't want her to retreat, so he reached out to hug her. The heroine struggled frantically and ran out.
The sad and infectious music and the singer's soft and choked voice reached a climax at this moment.
Yan Yongwang stared at the screen blankly, his mind going blank.
He raised his hand to touch his face, and realized that while he had a wooden face, he couldn't help but shed tears as he followed the emotional breakdown of the male and female protagonists.
In short, he, a cold-blooded CEO of Yan Corporation, cried while watching the most popular melodramatic and abusive romance drama.
Grass (a type of plant).
It's hard to believe, but it also makes sense.
Xu Bailing said that among the TV series that were broadcast on satellite TV in the first half of this year, "Sky Castle" was the most popular TV series with a tragic love story. This drama was called "bloody" and "incomprehensible" by countless viewers, but it was a masterpiece that made people cry.
Xu Bailing once promoted this TV series in his circle of friends.
Because the heroine of "Sky Castle" is her senior sister from the same company, who has excellent acting skills and has won a gold award for TV dramas.
The leading actor is a young actor with great acting skills who graduated from the Central Academy of Drama a few years ago and became famous with a low-cost online drama.
Not to mention, the script of this TV series was written by Mr. Lin, a gold medal screenwriter who became famous for "sadomasochism" and "dreams" more than 20 years ago. Even the background music was sung by a famous singer with a soft, ambiguous and deeply emotional voice.
The script is good, the music is infectious, and the leading actors' acting skills are not distracting.
It is a sure thing that this TV series will be broadcast on TV, and it deserves it.
——At least, being able to make Yan Yongwang cry is really amazing.
He expressionlessly tore off a piece of paper and pressed it against his face, while the next episode continued to play. This time, Yan Yongwang used the privileges of his video membership to skip the prelude advertisement and go directly to the main film.
...In the second episode, the screenwriter gave out some sweet treats from time to time, but then the knife came again.
In the study, a young and beautiful woman, wearing men's pajamas, sat on a large office chair. Because she was concentrating on watching the plot, she couldn't help but bend her legs, hug her knees with her hands, and stare at the screen blankly.
She had a pretty face, with a pointed face, tearful eyes, and a nose that was a little red from wiping. On her snow-white skin, there were traces of wiped tears. She fluttered her eyelashes, hugged her knees quietly, and watched the drama being played on the TV series.
The afternoon sun shines into the room, and the bright gauze curtains emit a soft luster.
When a woman sheds tears, she is also very silent, with almost no extra expression on her face. Sometimes, she just blinks her eyelids, and tears roll down her cheeks like pearls.
She crumpled up most of the tissue, wiped away her tears casually, and sniffed.
The main film ends and the ending song begins.
The beauty sat for a while, staring blankly at the scrolling list of leading actors, fluttered her eyelashes, and then looked at the document in front of her.
"I actually read it carefully."
It was unbelievable. In the past, in order to kill time, he would watch TV series with only the audio, while also doing some of his own work.
And today, this TV series broke his previous record for how much time he spent.
It even made his tear ducts, which had not been functioning for many years, start working.
Yan Yongwang pursed his lips and thought very seriously. As he thought, he couldn't help but sniffling.
He kind of likes the heroine and hero of this drama.
Thoughts kept turning in his mind, and Yan Yongwang couldn't help but guess the subsequent plot? - Are the heroine and the hero really half-siblings? He didn't want this to be the case, he hoped that the two of them could have a love relationship and finally get married...
Because he had shed so many tears, he felt a little dry in the mouth.
There was a water dispenser in the study, but he wanted to drink some ice water. So he stood up, left his seat, put on his slippers, and prepared to open the door and go downstairs to the kitchen refrigerator to get a bottle of mineral water.
The gauze curtains gently radiate a warm luster under the sunlight.
The young beauty had a calm expression on her face. She easily pressed the door handle and opened the door.
Then, she met a very familiar face with handsome features, wearing a suit and holding a stack of documents in his hands.
Just a moment later, she heard the secretary's almost surprised voice: "Chao, Chao Juan?"
The beauty stopped walking and met Chen He's eyes. She saw that in his eyes, she looked extremely embarrassed.
Men in pajamas, tear-stained face, expressionless?
Yan Yongwang: “…”
Without hesitation, he made a prompt decision, stepped back, and slammed the door shut.
==
After changing into slippers, Chen He hummed a song and walked upstairs in a relaxed mood.
The study is on the second floor, and it only takes a few seconds to walk up there.
Every time Chen He came to Yan's house, he would observe the cleanliness of the house. After taking a look, he frowned slightly. He thought to himself that it was a bit dirty and he needed to make an appointment for housekeeping to clean the house recently.
The stairs are cornered, the floor is made of mahogany, and the handrails are also made of expensive stone.
The decoration of the Yan family's house is very gorgeous and exquisite. After all, the Yan family is really rich, and they can buy any building material, no matter how rare or precious it is.
The interior decoration is so beautiful, no wonder Chen He feels that the black glass outside the building is a bit scary.
Sometimes he would wonder if the person who designed the Yan family villa and the person who decorated the interior were not the same person?
Maybe it was just as he guessed, the exterior and interior of the villa were not designed by the same team.
This is why the styles inside and outside are so different.
It was already very late when Chen He came to Yan Chi and his wife. When he was ten years old, Yan Yongwang was discovered to change his gender at the end of the month. His parents did not hesitate and replaced all the glass that year.
When he came to Yan Yongwang, he was already eleven years older than Yan Yongwang.
Missed the chance to replace the glass in the entire villa.
…
Step by step, Shen He's mood remains stable and happy.
There are a lot of good things this year, he thought, although this month is a bit busy - of course, for Shen He, as a personal secretary, he is always busy.
Business trips are commonplace, and we must always pay attention to the boss's physical and mental health.
The latter is his biggest concern. Fortunately, this year, the boss's physical examination reports are very good.
He was satisfied from the bottom of his heart, and a few days ago this month, when he was chattering in front of the tombstone, he did not forget to praise his boss for being young, promising and in good health.
——Chen He still remembers what he said at that time. Oh, he praised his boss for being as healthy as a tiger, with all indicators being very good. The family doctor also said that when Mr. Yan had a physical examination in June this year, his mental health was obviously much better than before.
Even Vice President Sun told him a while ago that his daughter liked the pet clothing store recommended by the boss very much. She kept her own hamster shiny and dressed it in pet clothes, which made her look very proud when she took it out.
Chen He was a little surprised at the time, thinking, when did the boss secretly have such a close relationship with Vice President Sun while he was not paying attention?
I was surprised for a moment, but then I thought about it and felt so happy.
He was happy and thought, when did the gradual changes begin?
It was probably in August last year, not long after he paid homage to his parents, that his boss said he wanted to give him some time off.
That vacation was the first one he took the initiative to request in the three years since he took office as president.
It was during that vacation that Chen He felt that Yan Yongwang should have a companion.
But he was not sure who his partner was, and he did not want to force anyone to tell him.
Or I'll just slowly grasp the details later and see if I can guess it.
Detective Shen He felt that he could always find the answer - the future was still so long, he didn't need to be too anxious.
When you step on the carpet, the soles of the slippers are very soft and make almost no sound.
Under the friction, he saw the light coming from the corridor on the second floor, the sunlight coming from outside.
By the afternoon, the light had become much softer, and the light and shadows were gentle, like a summer dream, reflected in his eyes.
The study is more than ten steps away from the stairs.
Chen He walked forward, his eyes following the light coming through the glass of the corridor, and thought absentmindedly, the weather is really nice today.
Crunch.
The sound of a door about to open.
Chen He did not immediately look at the door that was about to open, but playfully chased the round spot of light that was jumping on the snow-white wall. There was a painting on the wall, a picture of a beauty, which had been hanging in the Yan family for more than ten years. He had seen it when he first started working for Yan's.
If I remember correctly, it seemed to be painted by Mrs. Shi Xianyuan.
The beauty is very beautiful, hiding among the flowers and dancing butterflies.
…
In just a second, the light spot disappeared and he was almost in front of the study, only a few steps away.
Then, he raised his head and saw——
etc.
etc.
etc?
Shen He was so shocked that he could hardly hold the document in his hand. He saw a familiar yet strange person who appeared in the Yan family for absolutely no reason.
A beautiful woman.
A woman who became famous for starring in "The Merciless Leader" a few months ago.
One, he added ? contact information, claimed in the media that she was missing for several months, but told her friends that she was traveling for several months and there was no news... Miss Chao Juan.
Under the bright sunlight, she had a pointed face, snow-white skin, and moist eyelashes. She stared blankly ahead.
There were traces of tears on her face and the tip of her nose was slightly red.
Her lips were a little dry, even a little chapped, as if she was very thirsty.
Her eyelids were slightly red, her lips were dry, her face was expressionless, and traces of tears were still there.
And, most importantly, she was wearing her boss's pajamas and slippers.
Chen He: "Chao, Chao Jian?"
The beauty in men's pajamas met his eyes coldly, without saying a word, and stared at him restrainedly and indifferently for a moment.
Chen He was confused. He didn't know what to say first. His mind was blank.
He subconsciously wanted to hold the door with his hand, but before he could, he saw the beauty pursed her lips tightly, took two steps back, and slammed the study door shut without any reluctance or word.
With a bang.
The shock made Chen He's eardrum hurt.
He could no longer hold the document in his hand and it fell to the carpet with a thud.
He stood there, as if he had been splashed with cold water. He was confused and bewildered, but in the end, when he came to his senses, all his emotions turned into a calm panic.
He suppressed all unnecessary emotions and wondered why Chao Juan appeared in the Yan family?
Has she spent these past few months at the Yan family?
What is her relationship with Yan Yongwang? And why does she look like she is crying after being bullied?
Shen He stood there for half a minute, then raised his hand and knocked on the door gently.
His voice was calm: "Ms. Chao Juan, are you listening?"
"I'm Chen He," the secretary had already thought of the worst idea, and he said, "Have you been staying at the boss's house recently?" Even though the idea in his mind was very bad, the kind that would sooner or later be on the legal channel, Chen He would always serve Yan Yongwang, and even if he asked out loud, he would always stand on Yan Yongwang's side and would never reveal the slightest threat to Yan Yongwang.
“…”
There was no response from the study.
Chen He lowered his eyes, having expected this situation.
He turned on his phone and dialed Yan Yongwang's number while talking to Chao Juan: "Miss Chao?"
"Are you listening?"
Chen He was unable to get through to Yan Yongwang's call. He frowned and recalled Chao Juan whom he saw just a moment ago.
Chao Juan was wearing men's pajamas, with slightly curled long hair hanging down on his shoulders. He looked at people with a cold look, and when he stared at him, there was no sign of friendliness at all.
He was puzzled, and recalled the time when he met her and Chao Lingxi in the restaurant, when she heard him mention that he was Mr. Yan's secretary...
That stiff, strange, and quickly suppressed smile.
He thought hard about the possible relationship that might exist after Chao Juan and Yan Yongwang became involved.
lover?
Is it a lover?
She was wearing his clothes, men's pajamas - they were not ordinary friends, so she would ask her boss to provide her own pajamas. If he was not mistaken, that pair of pajamas was one that Yan Yongwang had worn for a long time, and he had been used to wearing it for many years.
Although the Yan family is rich, Yan Yongwang has assets worth hundreds of billions.
You never have to look at the price when buying clothes, as the Yan family’s clothes will be updated every year.
But the problem is that even rich people only choose pajamas that they like and have worn for a long time.
The longer you wear pajamas, the more you get used to them and the more comfortable they become.
After Yan Yongwang's height and stature stabilized, there were only a few pajamas he often wore in his closet.
The styles are similar, so much so that Chen He can tell at a glance that this is the style that Yan Yongwang likes to wear every time he comes to the Yan family and sees Yan Yongwang.
And now, pajamas appeared on Chao Juan's body?.
When she put it on, her trouser legs probably dragged a little on the ground, and her hands were covered by the slightly longer sleeves.
The shoulders were loose, revealing a small area of collarbone skin.
The more Chen He thought about it, the more frightened he became - yes, they must be lovers.
Then why did the romantic relationship make Chao Juan disappear for several months in front of the media under the pretext of going out for a trip, but Yan Jiali appeared?
She had just returned from a trip and went back to her boyfriend's home?
Or was that trip a scam from the very beginning?
Chen He felt his heart pounding. His brain was already not enough. He wanted to reason further, but all the information in front of him told him one fact -
The tear marks on Chao Juan's face, the redness and swelling of her eyelids, and even her unwillingness to respond to him when she saw him.
All of this shows that her relationship with Yan Yongwang is by no means a traditional one, a relationship of close and loving lovers.
If their relationship was strong, why would Chao Juan choose to close the door indifferently and not even respond to any of his words when she saw her boyfriend's secretary?
Chen He moved his lips and wanted to say something to Chao Juan in the study, but he was at a loss for words and was speechless, because all the speculations made him feel anxious.
Phone call? Still not connected.
Shen He bent down and picked up the document.
He tried very hard not to let the sweat on his hands wet the surface of the document, but cold sweat still flowed down his back.
He took one last look at the door of the study and walked downstairs. Before he walked down, he said loudly, "Miss Chao, I'll go downstairs first. You can tidy up your appearance before coming out to see me."
Chen He sat on the sofa in the lobby on the first floor?.
He called Yan Yongwang again.
At this moment, he picked up.
“…”
There was silence at first, and then he heard Yan Yongwang's deep voice, which was the same as usual.
"Chen He, what's wrong?"
"Have you seen the message I sent you? I was worried that you wouldn't be able to go to work tomorrow, so I came to Yan's house to deliver the documents."
"..." Yan Yongwang seemed to be stunned for a moment, then asked, "Have you already set off?"
Chen He was picking at the edge of his trousers, absent-minded and nervous: "You're not at home?" He did not answer his question immediately, but followed up with another question.
Yan Yongwang said, "Yes, not at home."
Shen He felt his throat dry.
He whispered, "It's like this, Boss. I saw Miss Chao Juan in your house."
Yan Yongwang: “…”
Phone call? There was a strange silence.
After a moment, Chen He heard Yan Yongwang's words in panic.
Very indifferent, a little nonchalant, even with a hint of smile.
"Oh, I know."
Chen He: “…” Is that just this one sentence?
He still had a lot to say, but Yan Yong seemed to know his doubts, and he answered easily, "She is my friend."
Chen He pursed his lips and wanted to say, Boss, you seem to be lying.
He has seen it all.
Chao Juan in your pajamas can never be what you casually call a "friend".
However, he didn't understand why Yan Yongwang was so relaxed. But immediately, he understood.
Yan Yongwang, who was not at home, didn't know what he saw.
He probably thought that Chao Juan was a normal girl, not wearing his clothes and not looking like she had been crying.
Chen He thought, if the young master - the young master got into trouble?, he, as the secretary, must help him.
No matter what, he is Yan Yongwang, his boss, the young master he has been with for so many years.
So, Chen He said: "Boss, but I saw Chao Juan crying so hard—"
There was silence over there, as if waiting for his next words.
Chen He said with great difficulty: "And she is wearing your pajamas."
The author has something to say: Because male and female are one, it is impossible for Chao Juan and Yan Yongwang to exist at the same time.
For this, Yan Yan told a huge lie - I was not at home.
Also, Chen He stands by Yan Yan unconditionally, and his current mentality is that if he really gets into trouble, he will definitely help him.
