CEO and CEO (IV) What right does he have to accuse me? ...
Mr. Lu and I sat opposite each other, and he got straight to the point, "I agree to cooperate with you, but the conditions need to be discussed further."
He said this casually, not like he was discussing a business worth hundreds of millions a year, but rather like he was casually discussing a group assignment.
My collaboration with him was finalized very quickly.
The only request he made was that I should appear at his company's monthly corporate summary.
In fact, I have plenty of people handling businesses of this magnitude. A few hundred million is not worth my attendance at the meeting.
But I agreed.
Probably because, after all, this is the first time to cooperate with Mr. Lu, so we still need to observe more in the early stage.
After signing the contract, I invited Mr. Lu to lunch, which is considered a tradition of our cooperation.
He didn't refuse.
I have to say, as long as it doesn't involve discussions on principles, it's very interesting to chat with him.
The views he puts forward always hit the spot for me.
There are two possibilities for having a great conversation with someone. One is that the other person is your close friend, and the other is that the other person is being backwards compatible with you.
He is only two years older than me, so I think the second option is unlikely.
Maybe he really is my confidant?
As soon as I had this thought, he mentioned Xu Xia Xia again.
"The president seems to have a rich love life."
His mention of other people made me feel inexplicably irritated.
Especially when I think of that crazy night, I become more and more irritated.
I don’t even know where this feeling of irritability comes from.
It's like falling into a strange trap. The trap is full of honey. It looks sweet, but it can drown people.
The instigator was standing above me, smiling and saying to me, "Don't struggle, this is for your own good."
I asked, "Do you remember where I went after I finished drinking that night at the party?"
The smile on his face disappeared and he asked me, "Aren't you going home?"
The expression on his face changed from serious to understanding, and there was a hint of an emotion I couldn't describe. I couldn't tell whether it was pity, sadness, mockery, or something else.
He just repeated again, "Don't fall in love with Xu Xia Xia."
I didn't know why he said that at the time until the detective agency found out that it was Xu Xia Xia.
…
Miss Zhao regarded Xu Xia Xia as her imaginary enemy.
Xu Xia Xia was always sad or angry because of some of Miss Zhao's tricks. Once she was even nearly injured. If I hadn't arrived in time, she would have suffered sequelae.
The atmosphere between the two of them was always tense, and when the rivals met, they were extremely jealous of each other.
But I clearly told them that one of them was my subordinate and the other was just my partner.
It was as if she didn't understand what I was saying. Even after I explained, Miss Zhao still didn't treat Xu Xia Xia well, and Xu Xia Xia always looked as if she was heartbroken.
Just when I was planning to threaten the head of the Zhao family and transfer Xu Xia Xia to the branch company as its president, the detective agency brought me new news.
It was Miss Zhao who gave me the medicine that night.
According to eyewitnesses, the person who entered the same room with me that night was Xu Xia Xia.
The evidence brought in along with the witnesses were two photographs.
One is a photo of me coming out of the room, and the other is a photo of Xu Xia Xia coming out of the room.
Maybe because of the distance, the photo is a little distorted.
My face is blurry in the photo.
Xu Xia Xia's face was pale and her cheeks were red. Even though the photo was blurry, it was obvious that she was not in a normal condition.
I called Xu Xia Xia to the office, put the photo in front of her, and asked her about what happened that night.
At first she tried to remain calm and denied it.
Later, after I calmly exposed her lies one by one, she begged me with a pale face not to fire her.
"I can pretend that nothing happened, and I won't ask you to be responsible for me. You can forget everything and treat it as a dream. I really need this job, so please don't fire me."
Her body was shaky and she could hardly stand. She got so excited that her whole body swayed violently and she fell onto the carpet.
At the moment when she was about to hit me, she turned her body desperately and fell to the carpet on the side instead of falling on me, as if she was trying her best to distance herself from me.
[This woman is avoiding me? She is so special. ]
I don't know why this thought came to my mind.
So greasy.
I felt disgusted by myself and frowned uncomfortably at these words that bordered on sexual harassment.
Suppressing my chaotic thoughts, I grabbed her arm and pulled her up.
Accidentally, I touched her fingers.
Her fingers were cold and fell apart at the touch.
But this time, my mysophobia seemed to have been cured on her.
I really didn't feel disgusted.
Looking at Xu Xia Xia who was feeling uneasy, I said, "I won't fire you. It was my fault that night. I will give you reasonable compensation."
"In addition, I would like to hire you as a laboratory assistant to accompany me in an experiment."
I want to see why my cleanliness obsession doesn't work on her.
When you are in a high position, the thing you fear most is that your weaknesses are in the hands of others.
…
In the days that followed, my relationship with Xu Xia Xia seemed to be accelerated.
A hero saving a beautiful girl, covering your ears in the middle of the night when it thunders, feeling the warmth in your palms when you are being chased...
As if there was some kind of guidance from somewhere, I was getting along more and more with her.
I was attracted by this tenacious, bright and indomitable assistant.
I like her.
I should like her.
The accelerated heartbeat every time we meet can't lie.
I should like her.
She has many wonderful qualities, so it was natural for me to like her.
She had a very hard life before she met me, and I wanted to protect her from the hardships she would have from now on.
Besides, my mysophobia has not improved. From the perspective of profit alone, keeping her by my side in the name of love is also a good deal with huge profits.
I think I like her.
I should like her.
I think so.
Only sometimes, at a certain moment, I would feel an uncontrollable feeling of suffocation, like the honey in a honey trap finally flooding my mouth and nose.
Because of her words "I like roses", I ordered a hundred helicopters to drop rose petals and banknotes in the air, making it rain roses all over the city.
Because she took a closer look at lavender, I bought a lavender garden, and we rose slowly in a hot air balloon among the endless lavender.
I took her on a cruise to see the waves of the Atlantic Ocean, and I also bungee jumped with her to experience the heartbeat of jumping into the abyss.
I should like her.
I think.
So I prepared to propose to her.
I have already prepared a whole piece of diamond, and I plan to have the top designer cut the whole diamond into the shape of a diamond ring, making it a pure diamond ring.
On the day when I sent the diamond to the designer, I met Mr. Lu.
Actually, we haven't seen each other for a long time.
At first I attended the meeting every month. Later, I found that the cooperation was on the right track and Xu Xia Xia took up too much of my energy. In order to prepare a surprise for her and appreciate her sparkling eyes, I cut some unimportant agendas.
And Lu Zong is also among them.
Anyway, the cooperation was very successful, and the item of attending the conference was not included in the agreement.
It is unnecessary to attend a meeting once a month.
As I thought about this, I felt a tightness in my chest, as if someone was grabbing my heart.
Mr. Lu smiled at me and said, "Long time no see."
I gave a social smile, "Long time no see."
It has been a long time since we greeted each other so calmly.
Thinking back to our last pleasant chat, it seems like it was in a lifetime ago.
None of us spoke. We just walked into the cafe tacitly, ordered a drink each, and sat in silence.
Strangely enough, I didn't feel embarrassed.
Judging from his reaction, he didn't think so either.
Even though neither of us spoke, this quiet atmosphere made me feel very comfortable.
It's like taking off the shackles on my body.
…Actually, I kind of like being with him.
I myself can't tell whether I didn't attend the meeting because I really felt that Xu Xia Xia's matter was more important, or because I didn't want to see him.
The next few times we met, we always parted on bad terms.
I met him on the day I started pursuing Xu Xia Xia in a high-profile manner.
He didn't say anything, just looked at me.
I suddenly remembered what he said.
【Don’t like Xu Xia Xia. 】
I explained inexplicably, "Emotional matters are beyond control."
Actually, I have no reason to explain to him.
Because he never explained it to me, to me, he was just a partner, a partner with different ideas. We couldn't even be called friends.
I explained, but I didn't get any response from him.
Until the night when I scattered the rose rain, he pointed to the torn pieces of banknotes in the corner and said calmly, "There was a huge stampede today."
The fluttering rose petals and banknotes obscured the vision of passing drivers and dazzled the eyes of passers-by, causing traffic in the entire city to become a mess.
Blood splattered on the roses, petals were trampled into the mud, and banknotes were torn into pieces in the scramble.
He is accusing me.
I realized this belatedly and found it hilarious because of the disbelief.
I said, "So what?"
"At least, what I scattered was real gold and silver, and those who grabbed it will enjoy it with me."
He looked at me inexplicably.
Suddenly, he asked me a strange question.
“Do you treat other people as human beings?”
What's the problem?
I said, “Of course I treat them as human beings.”
He smiled mockingly, "Really?"
I was provoked by the sarcasm in his words.
I asked, “What do you want to say?”
He looked away indifferently, "...you know."
Yes, I know.
But what's wrong with this?
In this society, classes are clearly divided. Under the name of equality, the life and death of the lower class actually depends on the thoughts of the upper class.
The law is the whip used by those in a higher position to discipline those below.
I built my business to the top in the world just to hold the handle of the whip.
This is obviously the rule of this world.
I have never despised human life, never belittled the dignity of others, and many of the things I have done seem incredible to others.
Someone even said to me, "President, you are too nice to ordinary people, which will easily amplify their ambitions."
"For the lower class, you need to be whipped and then given a sweet date."
"You give these people the same chance as us. Be careful that these ungrateful wolves will attack you back."
I haven't heard these voices, I have my own management.
But he could not see my respect for the virtuous, my clear distinction between rewards and punishments, and my hatred of evil.
But when he said it, it became that I don't treat others as human beings.
Isn't he also one of the superiors?
What right does he have to blame me?
