Chen Ye drove from his home in the capital to the shopping mall in the city center.
Along the way, I received a message from a colleague, asking him if he was in the capital and if he could help bring some things back to Ancheng.
In the eyes of his colleagues, Chen Ye is a young man with a good temper. He is responsible at work and sincere in his interactions with others.
He replied OK.
I parked my car near an office building in the CBD, went to a convenience store in the mall, bought some European bread, and ate it slowly in the car.
He parked his car in a good spot and could see people coming and going at the office building's gate.
Although the distance is far, you can still get a general idea.
He took a bite of European bread and drank it with mineral water, eating slowly.
It's six o'clock in the afternoon. White-collar workers who have been working overtime are leaving the house one after another. Their fatigue can be seen from afar, whether it's the briefcases in their hands or the drooped shoulders.
In September in the capital, the summer heat still lingered. The air conditioner was on in the car. He rolled down the window, leaned one hand against the window, and stared at that side.
7:20 pm.
A very familiar figure walked out from the entrance of the building. He was very tall and had a great figure. The man was contacting someone, talking on the phone. He tilted his head slightly, and his lips moved, as if he was saying something.
Then, he smiled suddenly for a moment.
That smile actually seemed somewhat gentle on the man's cold face.
Chen Ye looked at him straight and exhaled a stream of slightly heavy air from his chest.
He crumpled the plastic bag of the European bread vigorously, and then threw it into the empty slot in the car.
The plastic bag made a slight sound.
Chen Ye watched the man hang up the phone, and his driver drove to pick him up. He opened the car door and got in, but he couldn't see anyone. He bit his lower lip, sighed regretfully, and watched the car drive onto the road and disappear from his sight.
He lost all interest and drove home.
…
Because of his identity as "Chao Juan", Yan Yongwang's life was temporarily mixed with the element of "dating".
However, it didn't affect him much, as he found that people with a cold personality did have some advantages.
First, when you are silent and don't want to talk, others will rarely ask you questions.
Second, his answers were brief and cold, which was a bit confusing, but looking at his expression, few people would ask again, and he would just keep thinking logically in his mind.
…
Although silence sometimes makes others imagine a lot, Yan Yongwang is really troubled about how to answer those questions. For him, keeping silent is a hundred times better than answering in person.
In the company, Chen He's mood has stabilized in the past few days. He went on another business trip, and when he came back, he heard that Chao Juan had attended the banquet invited by Ling Da, and asked him in the office: "Boss, you and Miss Chao Juan..."
Yan Yongwang said calmly: "What's wrong between me and her?"
"I heard that she admitted that you were in a relationship."
Yan Yongwang's expression of no surprise made Chen He instantly feel how confident he was in this relationship.
From Chen He's perspective, Yan Yongwang didn't think at all that Chao Juan would say anything that didn't suit his wishes.
"How did you two meet?"
Chen He felt somewhat relieved because Chao Juan had admitted her relationship with Yan Yongwang in front of outsiders. He thought to himself that he finally felt some of the warmth of love, thank God.
So, I tried to find out how they knew each other.
"I sent you a message before... saying that I saw Chao Juan in Ancheng. At that time, she was with Chengpin He," Chen He recalled his first meeting with Chao Juan. "Were you together at that time?"
Yan Yongwang: “…”
It’s over. Should he come up with a timeline?
But when does it start...to be considered the normal time for a relationship to first meet?
After racking my brains, I finally decided to just make an excuse.
"Are you curious?" He folded his arms, leaned back, raised his chin and looked at the secretary. His tone was not questioning, but just a counter-question.
Chen He: "I'm curious." He was sincere.
Yan Yongwang: "...the secret between me and her."
Chen He: Damn, having a relationship is so mysterious.
But he also knew that if Yan Yongwang didn't want to, there was nothing he could do.
Angry? Staring blankly: "I just care about you, is that not okay?"
Yan Yongwang: "If you want to know, ask her next time if she is willing to tell you." He knew Chen He, and he dared to ask directly in front of his boss, with whom he had a close relationship, but in front of ladies, he was always polite and would not respond like that.
He was also a little curious about what Chen He would ask if he and "Chao Juan" met.
Throwing this question back to Chen He, Chen He became depressed: "Damn, you just know that I won't meet Chao Juan..." And even if he met him, could he ask anything?
The awkward encounter in the villa last time was enough to keep him awake for several days.
Moreover, when he saw Chao Juan, he was afraid that people would give him a cold look, but he was also afraid that people would give him a good look.
The former was because they were afraid that she had a bad relationship with Yan Yongwang, and the latter was because they were afraid that she would be threatened by Yan Yongwang to be nice to her employees.
...Fearing all the time, Chen He was successfully made anxious and confused by the young boss.
Finally, she couldn't help but glared at him and said, "I wonder how you, a person destined to be alone, can still be single."
Yan Yongwang: You guessed right, I am still single.
But he said nothing, just raised his eyebrows, indicating that he could leave if he had nothing to do.
There was no extra expression on his face, and he looked no different from usual.
Chen He thought that he was really old and couldn't understand how young people fell in love.
Before he left the office, he asked him, "Can you bring her out someday?"
"I... after all, I am your uncle." Chen He had never mentioned his relationship with Shi Xianyuan in the company, but he did so today. His tone was very serious, with the care that only an elder could have: "I ran into her at your house last time, and I think she didn't have a good impression that time."
"If possible, bring her out to meet her formally, okay?"
What Chen He meant was that at least he had to meet the “parents” in person.
Yan Yong replied: "It depends on her opinion."
His tone was calm and composed: "If she doesn't want to, there's nothing I can do. Just like last time, no matter how much you called her at the door, she wouldn't open it."
Chen He understood the meaning of his words, and he didn't know what he thought of. He lowered his eyes, sighed, and nodded, "Okay."
"Should I buy her a gift as an apology? Our last meeting was a bit rushed... I feel embarrassed now that I think about it."
Yan Yongwang: "She lacks nothing."
Chen He was a little anxious: "I know she definitely has everything she needs, but I think we should at least give her a gift. The last time we met was really a bit offensive..." If he didn't give it to her, he didn't know how to react the next time he saw Chao Juan in public.
His young boss: "I know, I'll deliver it for you."
"She will surely forgive you."
Shen He was silent, he didn't know what to say.
After leaving the office, he held his forehead with a headache, thinking, how could there be such a man? He was authoritarian and arbitrary, always saying that he made decisions for his girlfriend and would not share any decision-making power with her.
Throughout the conversation, Yan Yongwang seemed to think he knew Chao Juan very well, as if "what I say is what it is".
I don't care at all what the girl will think.
Is it possible that it is so easy to forgive just because he says so?
Chen He thought angrily: What a brainless idiot, he is in such a state of love affairs, and he, an outsider, is so anxious watching!
After a while, I thought sadly, is this what they call a "domineering president"?
His train of thought is very straight forward. He thinks that what he gives to his girlfriend must be the best. He even accepts other people's apologies on her behalf and says, "She will definitely forgive you."
It's strange. His boss usually seems to be a smart person, so why is he like a short circuit when it comes to love?
I can't understand it, I can't understand it!
Colleagues in the secretarial department all watched Shen He walk out of the boss' office with a gloomy face.
Mo Mo and the others looked at each other and mouthed: What happened?
Colleague: Were you scolded by your boss?
For a moment, the WeChat group of the secretariat without Secretary Shen began to refresh the message, and Shen He sat at his workstation and sighed again.
Momo, who was working at the next desk to him: …
Damn, several? Scary, did the boss and Secretary Shen have a fight?
…
Chen Haohan had an announcement in September, which was a magazine interview in which he would collaborate with Xu Boling.
Both of them benefited from the movie "Ruthless" and became extremely popular. They received many scripts and their economic companies treated them like treasures. There were also many more team members than before.
They often keep in touch privately and have a good understanding when interviewed by the magazine.
There was no sarcasm in the interview. When the content of the interview between the two was released later, many netizens said that this CP is good.
However, both parties stated directly on Weibo that their friendship is pure.
The crew of "The Ruthless Road?" allowed Xu Bailing to gain two good friends.
Chen Haohan, Chao Juan.
The friendship between these three people is as solid as a triangle. Chen Haohan is cheerful and funny, Xu Bailing is passionate and bright, and Chao Juan is both cold and gentle.
Xu Bailing met Chao Juan two days ago and told Chen Haohan at the end of the day, saying that Chao Juan was doing well.
Wait? After the magazine interview ended today, the two of them had a private dinner together and mentioned Chao Juan again.
Chen Haohan: "You told me the other day that Sister Juanjuan said she was going out for a trip, right?"
Xu Bailing nodded: "Yes, that's all she said, but when I asked her if she was in a relationship with Mr. Yan, she didn't refute it."
Chen Haohan seemed to be thinking about something.
After a while: "It's actually quite a good match."
Xu Bailing: "What?"
Chen Haohan commented on Yan Yongwang from a man's perspective: "Boss Yan is handsome and rich, and Sister Juanjuan is beautiful and rich. They are a good match together."
Xu Bailing disagreed. Chen Haohan noticed that she seemed to have a strange dislike for Yan Yongwang, and the fear from the bottom of her heart was revealed in her words.
"Junjun can find a better and gentler partner."
He said this angrily, then became discouraged, "But it's no use for me to say it."
She secretly hated: "Why am I not a man?"
Then she can chase her!!!
Chen Haohan was choked by Xu Bailing's bold words: "Not really..."
Xu Bailing complained: "If I were a man and could catch Juanjuan's eye, I would stay at home and take care of the children, wash clothes and cook for my wife, and keep fit by doing exercise, so as to avoid being abandoned by my wife in the future."
Chen Haohan: "Where is your ambition? Linglingzi, didn't you say you wanted to be a career-oriented woman?"
Xu Bailing took a big bite of the steak and told him in a squeaky voice: "With a wife as beautiful as Juanjuan, why would I pursue a career? I feel so happy looking at her face every day that I faint."
"Besides, I've already mentioned that Juanjuan is very rich! I just want to enjoy the happy life of being supported by a rich woman."
Ling Ling, a social animal, made an outrageous statement: "I have been working in the entertainment industry for more than ten or twenty years. If someone could support me, I would be happy to do so."
Chen Haohan wiped his sweat and said, "Okay, okay, you should eat less. If you eat more, you will lose weight again."
Xu Bailing: "See, being an artist also requires controlling your weight... It's too difficult."
The topic was digressed for a long time and then returned to the original topic.
"You mean, Sister Juanjuan didn't admit that she was at Yan's house a few days ago."
"Yeah." Speaking of this, Xu Bailing felt a little disappointed. She thought, but they all saw the photo. She guessed that she must have something to hide that she didn't want to tell others.
Relationships come in different levels of closeness. She knows that many times, even close friends have secrets that they are unwilling to tell each other.
Xu Bailing has been working in the entertainment industry since he was a child. His social circle is very narrow. Most of his acquaintances are actors, and he does not have many close friends. After considering Chao Juan as his good friend, he has been very serious about interacting with him and managing their friendship.
It's normal for her to feel lost.
But I also know that it is human nature not to want to tell some things.
Chen Haohan was much more clear than Xu Bailing, who was trapped in the dream of friendship and couldn't extricate herself. He pondered for a while and asked her: "What do you think is the reason why she doesn't want to tell others?"
Obviously, it is not something that cannot be discussed in the capital, but Chao Juan's slightly evasive attitude makes people confused.
Chen Haohan recalled the words his boss Mr. Cheng had murmured at the time, and Cheng Pinhe suspected that Chao Juan had been restricted from communicating by Yan Yongwang... and it was even very likely that his range of movement was restricted (the latter, Chen Haohan felt, was too outrageous).
As for why their communication was restricted, it was a matter between the two of them.
Outsiders' speculation is often unreliable.
Chengpin He did say that he thought? It should be that Yan Yongwang didn't like Chao Juan to show up in public...
Chen Haohan complained in his heart: What kind of old-fashioned idea is this from his boss? What kind of bad guy does he think President Yan is?
It's amazing. Even someone who has read so many scripts can't help but admire Cheng Zong for having such a wild imagination.
But today, after chatting with Xu Bailing again and checking the details, Chen Haohan was confused. He thought, "This is so strange. Why doesn't Chao Juan admit it?"
Don’t admit that she has stayed in the Yan family villa?
A difficult mystery to solve.
He couldn't help but think of what his boss had said before, and wondered, if there was something unspeakable, could it be just as his boss guessed?
...It shouldn’t be, it shouldn’t be.
He couldn't make random guesses, as this would not only slander Mr. Yan Yongwang's character, but also cast doubt on the relationship between Sister Juanjuan and her boyfriend, Mr. Yan.
So after he finished speaking, he rejected it himself: "Maybe there is something wrong. I can't tell others casually."
Xu Bailing: "Well, I think it should be like that." She adjusted her emotions quickly. When she met Chao Juan, she did see the embarrassment on her face. It was a feeling of embarrassment that she couldn't tell the truth.
That look on her cold and beautiful face seemed particularly heartbreaking.
The beauty's frown, the beauty's embarrassment, the beauty's hesitation.
In Xu Bailing's eyes, it turned into melancholy. Is she really reluctant? She showed that expression.
Neither of us dared to say much. We just asked for a hug and shed tears. Then we just chatted for a while, ate something, exchanged feelings, and that was it.
"But, come to think of it, Yan Yongwang never said that he was in a relationship, right?"
"..." Xu Bailing frowned and said, "I haven't heard of it."
Chen Haohan: "If Sister Juanjuan gets together with him in the future and wants to get married, I guess the national media will explode."
He winked mischievously: "After all, this is a powerful marriage between the national male god, the national husband and the most beautiful woman of the century!"
Xu Bailing: “…” As sour as a lemon.
She couldn't help it, and used delicious food to comfort her wounded heart, murmuring, "I want a beauty too!"
"Oh God, please give me a beautiful woman. I am willing to be a vegetarian for three years!" As she said this, she took a bite of beef viciously, chewed it, and swallowed it into her stomach.
Chen Haohan: “…”
He thought, Linglingzi, with your attitude, God must think you are not sincere enough, so how could he give you a beautiful woman!
==
About "Chen Ye".
Even after three months, there was still no movement, and Yan Yongwang's attitude was very calm, because he really didn't think there was anything to worry about.
"To be honest," the beautiful girl with long hair draped over her shoulders tilted her head and glanced at Lingxi, "the capital is my territory."
It's a very crazy, cool and awesome tone.
"If it were abroad, I might be a little more worried," she said, her eyelashes drooping as she stretched lazily, "but in this country, in the capital, I have nothing to worry about."
"..."Chao Lingxi's eyes lit up, thinking that the girl was so cool. She looked so cool when she said this!
He is a major taxpayer and a nationally renowned entrepreneur for a reason. There have even been rumors that he is the undisputed richest man in the country. Ordinary people don’t have so many channels to know who has the most assets in the country. Most wealthy people are not willing to put this out in the open for others to comment on.
Only people in the circle would say that Yan Yongwang is the richest man in the country.
He doesn't usually have any bodyguards around him, but the level of security is very high.
Whenever you want bodyguards, etc., we will pick the best and most responsible ones to be by your side and be responsible for security.
This kind of attention means that Yan Yongwang’s secret needs to be well hidden in order to remain hidden.
His parents, Yan Chi and Shi Xianyuan, have been teaching him how to hide for more than ten years. Today, no matter how much attention he receives, he can cover up the secret with relative ease.
Something went wrong this year, but because of the logical consistency of outsiders, this mistake seemed to have added a bit of ambiguity to his urban love story.
And he didn't reveal a single bit of the secret.
"Nothing can hurt me."
She smiled at him, with her peach blossom eyes and upturned lips, and her smile was as cute and pure as that of an elf or an angel.
Holding her heart, Chao Lingxi almost fainted: "My girl is so cute!"
She immediately changed her expression and stared at him with disdain: "There are cat biscuits."
Chao Lingxi: Even if the goose girl says that I am sick, I will still use my roaring voice to announce it to the world!
"My girl! The cutest in the world!"
Yan Yongwang: “…”
He let out the anger in his chest, stood up, and kicked Chao Lingxi's ankle: "Didn't you say you were stewing ribs?"
"Oh oh oh, I'll get up right away!"
Chao Lingxi was so bewitched by Chao Juan that he felt dizzy and intoxicated. He thought, he was too successful, how could he have such a good-looking daughter?
Oh, he is the happiest old father in the world!
…
From the time Chao Juan reappeared in his original identity, nothing happened until the end of September.
Yan Yongwang goes to get off work and comes home normally, communicates with Shen He, communicates with Chao Lingxi, goes on business trips, and holds meetings with business partners.
Everything is normal.
The same goes for Chao Juan's identity, which appears when he is free and needs to brush up on time.
Because of what Chen He said before, Yan Yongwang once met Chen He in public under the identity of Chao Juan.
He wanted to use the identity of Chao Juan to tell Chen He that he had received the gift and thanked him for his concern.
The last incident was an emergency, so he didn't need to feel sorry, because her attitude was too stiff and might have scared him.
However--
They only said a few words of hello when they met face to face.
Shen He, who is usually proficient in social skills, got stuck and stuttered for a long time without knowing what to say.
He stared blankly at the woman in front of him - she had a face that could only be described as "beautiful", with clear eyes and thick eyelashes, no less beautiful than the beauties in movie theaters who disguised themselves with makeup and costumes.
Compared to the last time we met at the Yan family villa, she seemed much calmer.
Shen He thought, it might be because there were no traces of tears on her face and she didn’t look embarrassed.
"Shenhe?"
When Chao Juan opened his mouth, his voice was as cool as frost and snow, clear and translucent. If it were concretely portrayed, it would be a spring flowing down from the snow-capped mountains.
"...Oh, Miss Chao." Chen He came back to his senses. He smiled bitterly for two seconds and apologized to her formally, saying that he must have scared her the last time he rashly went to Yan's house.
Then, he heard Chao Juan say, "It's okay."
After a pause, he said, "You feel guilty."
"No need to feel guilty..." It was just an emergency.
Yan Yong fantasized about saying this.
But before he finished speaking, he saw Chen He's expression was vague and complicated. Wait? After he said "thank you for your gift", Chen He gritted his teeth, reluctantly said a few words to him, and said that he had something to do and left first.
Then, his main phone received a message from Shen He.
"Boss, what did you say to Miss Chao Juan? I asked you to apologize to her for me!"
「
Send gifts to apologize." He actually didn't do this at all. After all, Chao Juan was himself, so there was no need to give himself gifts.
"..." Chen He's string of ellipsis made Yan Yongwang tense up. He knew that Chen He was going to be unhappy again.
After a while, he received a string of text from Chen He:
"You know what? When I see Miss Chao Juan, I always feel like you two haven't had a good conversation."
Yan Yongwang: ???
He also sent a string of question marks.
Chen He: [kneel down.jpg]
I don’t even post my favorite cat emoticons anymore.
Chen He: "Ball, if you don't understand how to fall in love, read more books and don't harm a good girl, okay?"
Yan Yongwang: ...
Yan Yongwang: Bewildered.jpg
The last sentence sent by Chen He was full of subtle anger: "Do you know that when she spoke, her face was expressionless and she looked very reluctant?"
The author has something to say: This book should be finished next month! A warning first, according to the outline, the main text will be finished at about 500,000 words, and if nothing unexpected happens, there are still more than 100,000 words.
The recent rankings are too toxic, no new readers come to read the articles QAQ, is it because this plot is too unpopular, right? I feel that there are too few articles that use pseudonyms. I also use pseudonyms, but I feel that there are not many people who share the same interests. The last pseudonym article was very unpopular, and the data is not as good as my other articles. Sigh.
After getting 6,000 this month, I won't be guaranteed 6,000 next month. I'll report again a week before the official end, and then you can consider what extra chapters you want.
