Chapter 11: The heroine is trying to commit suicide
Lu Chiyuan didn't know whether his inner voice would be conveyed to the other party through the communication. The word "I love you" struck his heart, but was blurred by the microphone, making it impossible to tell whether it was just words spoken in his heart or a passionate confession.
After hanging up the phone, he took out the contract again and brushed his fingers over Jiang Chen's name.
In just two days, fate took several turns. Jiang Chen's inner voice was a chaotic note, quietly falling in the melody of his life, breaking all the peace.
The virtual love, the freshness of being here for the first time, how long can these things last in Jiang Chen's heart?
Lu Chiyuan was uncertain. A knock on the door interrupted his thoughts. He said "come in" and put the contract into the drawer.
Because it was his first day at work, Jiang Chen was still getting familiar with the environment. Lu Mingxuan did not assign him much work and asked him to prioritize Lu Chiyuan's schedule.
When it was almost time to get off work at noon, the logistics department delivered the office keys and basic office supplies, and Jiang Chen did a simple cleaning.
When he finished his work, Xu Chen, who had just woken up from a nap, stood at his door, looking at his new office, and asked him if he wanted to go out for a drink.
"It's morning, and you haven't gotten off work yet." Jiang Chen thought he was sleepy, so he cleared the table and reminded him with a smile.
"Mr. Lu has a business dinner and he probably won't be back this afternoon. I'll take you on a slack trip. When the time comes, just clock in and say you're on field work."
When Lu Chiyuan and Lu Mingxuan were in the company, Xu Chen could slack off to the extreme. He worked in the morning and did field work in the afternoon. He was not doing his job at all. "I know Lu Chiyuan has two bottles of good wine stored in the winery. It's just right for you to celebrate your joining. Do you want to go?"
Xu Chen was in high spirits, and Jiang Chen gave an awkward but polite smile.
His relationship with Lu Chiyuan should not be good enough for him to ignore the company's work rules and open his wine to celebrate without his consent.
Lu Chiyuan treated him well because a lot of things had happened in the past two days, and the original body had been implicated innocently. Lu Chiyuan was cold on the outside but warm on the inside, so he took extra care of him.
He is still very self-aware and will not confuse stories with reality. His understanding of Lu Chiyuan is full of joy. It is his own carnival rather than an equal exchange of friendship.
Lu Chiyuan knows how to act with propriety in dealing with people, but that doesn't mean he can be too arrogant.
Jiang Chen declined politely: "I won't go. It's not good to be absent from work on the first day."
"What are you afraid of?" Xu Chen shrugged and said, "I didn't go to work in the first month after I started working."
Xu Chen didn't care. He came to the company for Lu Mingxuan. Lu Mingxuan was on a business trip in the first month and he felt bored. He said hello to Lu Chiyuan and completely let himself go.
Lu Chiyuan knew his character and was not surprised at all.
He felt that it was enough to have someone to accompany Lu Chiyuan.
Lu Mingxuan heard his bold words, walked out of the office and said, "Mr. Xu, do you think everyone is like you? Don't fool Jiang Chen here, he is going to attend a dinner with Brother Lu."
Xu Chen turned around: "Huh? You're not going?"
Jiang Chen was also a little surprised. For such an important occasion, shouldn’t he bring the more capable Lu Mingxuan?
Lu Mingxuan shook his head and said seriously: "Jiang Chen, didn't you read the message? Brother Lu sent me the message."
"What?" Jiang Chen immediately took out his phone, only to find that he had set it to silent mode without knowing when. Lu Chiyuan's message had been sent a long time ago. He was cleaning up the office just now and didn't notice it at all.
Lu Chiyuan: [After you finish packing, come downstairs. I’ll wait for you in the parking lot.]
Lu Chiyuan: [Go downstairs.]
Lu Chiyuan: [People?]
Time: fifteen minutes ago.
Jiang Chen was shocked and shouted "It's over". Without saying anything more to the two of them, he packed up his things and rushed downstairs.
"This kid is going to be exploited!" Seeing how anxious he was, Xu Chen sighed with sympathy.
Jiang Chen ran all the way to the parking lot and found Lu Chiyuan's car based on his memory from the morning. The driver and Lu Chiyuan had been waiting inside for a long time.
Jiang Chen trotted forward, panting slightly, and clasped his hands together through the car window: "I'm sorry, Brother Lu, I didn't see the message."
Lu Chiyuan looked at him and said, "Get in the car. There won't be a next time."
Lu Chiyuan hates waiting. People who are not punctual make him feel that his time is being wasted and his plans are being interrupted.
Logically, he should severely criticize Jiang Chen's mistake, but when the words came to his lips, he saw his slightly red face, messy hair, and anxiety in his eyes, and he couldn't bring himself to criticize him.
Jiang Chen sat in nervously: [Woo woo woo, baby is so nice, baby didn't blame me. ]
Lu Chiyuan lowered his eyes. He thought, everyone makes mistakes. It’s just the first time. It’s not unforgivable.
The dinner at Tianxing Entertainment was scheduled for 12:30. Because Jiang Chen was late, the driver drove faster than usual. Jiang Chen felt guilty and didn't dare to speak.
Fortunately, the distance was not far and the road was clear, so Jiang Chen prayed that he could arrive on time.
When the car was halfway there, Lu Chiyuan received a call. He didn't know what the person on the other end of the phone said, but his face instantly turned gloomy.
He listened for a long time, and finally asked only one question: "Where is she now?"
There was a long silence afterwards. Jiang Chen saw Lu Chiyuan's hand holding the phone tighten, his slender fingers were tense, and light blue veins were visible.
He is angry.
Jiang Chen retracted his gaze, shifted his attention, and looked out the window.
The originally unobstructed straight road was suddenly jammed into a long queue. Vehicles that were travelling at a constant speed gradually stopped. The driver was visibly panicked. He stretched his neck to look forward, but there were only cars after cars. He had no idea what was happening ahead.
Jiang Chen was also puzzled. Logically, there shouldn't be traffic jams on this road.
[Xueqiu, can you check? What's going on?]
Snowball flipped through his little notebook: [Host, it was a car accident.]
Jiang Chen now feels a little scared when he hears the word "car accident". This frequency is too high.
[Is it serious? When can I leave? ]
[Not very optimistic. We suggest changing to a new route map.] Snowball sighed.
The driver turned around and looked at Lu Chiyuan apologetically: "Mr. Lu, do you need me to change the route?"
Lu Chiyuan hung up the phone without answering. He closed his eyes, raised his hand and gently rubbed the bridge of his nose, his expression visibly irritated.
The driver didn't dare to say anything and turned his head away silently.
The atmosphere in the car became cold and suffocating.
After a long while, Lu Chiyuan said, "Let's not go anymore. Turn around and go back to Mingyue Lake."
The driver and Jiang Chen were both stunned. Mingyue Lakeside was where Shen Zhiyi lived.
The driver didn't dare delay and changed his route. Strangely enough, the road ahead was jammed with people, but there was a road next to it for him to turn around, as if it was waiting for him to go there.
The driver felt uncomfortable all over and shivered.
Jiang Chen almost subconsciously reacted: [Could it be that the heroine has done something new? ]
Snowball quickly took out his notebook: [Host, you guessed it right, the heroine is trying to commit suicide in the villa. ]
Jiang Chen's mouth twitched slightly. No wonder Lu Chiyuan looked so unhappy when he received the call. No one would dare to take this kind of thing as a joke!
【Why is she doing this time? 】
[Because Uncle Lin wanted to clear the Shen family out of the villa, the Shen family members threw a tantrum and said that if Uncle Lin dared to drive them out, they would die at the door of the villa. The heroine felt that Uncle Lin did not give her face, so she followed his example and cut herself with a knife. ]
