Bai Yueguang's phone call
Feeling vaguely sleepy, Shao Zizhuo washed the cup of milk. Suddenly, the phone rang. He felt helpless. It was so late, what else could be going on?
He took the phone, quite surprised: "Wangshu, what happened? Why are you calling me suddenly?"
Yuan Wangshu seemed to be walking, his voice slightly breathless: "What could be the matter? I heard they said you found a girlfriend?"
Shao Zizhuo pressed his solar plexus. Zhao Yi and the others really had clairvoyance and sharp hearing. Yuan Wangshu knew what had just happened immediately despite the time difference. He hated people talking about him behind his back the most. He sneered and secretly decided to teach them a lesson in the business world.
"Zizhuo, are you listening?"
Shao Zizhuo came back to his senses: "Not even a girlfriend yet."
Without a formal confession, they are certainly not a formal couple.
Yuan Wangshu's voice jumped with joy: "It's true! Zizhuo, Zizhuo, your iron tree has finally blossomed. Haha, I'm so happy for you."
Shao Zizhuo also laughed: "There's nothing to say about this, but you called me just for this, right?"
Yuan Wangshu took a deep breath. "You found out. The version I heard was too exaggerated. They said you found a girl who looked exactly like me. They almost made a mistake and told me to come back quickly and stop worrying about ballet. If I kept dancing, someone would snatch you away."
Yuan Wangshu laughed out loud on the other end of the phone: "You know, they say I'm your white moonlight, and that the girl is a stand-in. Why are the rumors about our relationship getting more and more outrageous?"
Shao Zizhuo smiled helplessly, "People just love to read fake stories of passionate love. What can I do? I originally wanted to handle it coldly, but by doing so, I actually gave them the right to speak. Many versions of the story have been spread. Even Niuniu firmly believes that we were together. What do you think others will think?"
Yuan Wangshu said, "Yes, we should have explained it clearly back then. The few people we're close to are either crying themselves to sleep reading romance novels late at night, or they're just big, stubborn idiots who won't change their ways. Not only do they refuse to help explain, they even exaggerate. Why didn't we make some smart friends back then?"
Shao Zizhuo looked at the time and said, "Let's not talk about that anymore. It's a bit late here and we have a meeting tomorrow." He said in a polite tone as he was seeing the guest off.
There was a pause, and then a gentle voice came from the other end: "Today's call is not to reminisce about the past. Zizhuo, we are both grown up now. We are no longer the helpless 18-year-old boys we were back then. You are the president of Shaw Brothers, and I have achieved my dream of becoming the principal dancer of the ballet. The original deal was just a temporary solution. Now that we are all starting new lives, it is time to put a satisfactory end to that deal."
Shao Zizhuo seemed to have returned to the third year of junior high school, when he first met Yuan Wangshu.
He was slandered by his stepmother and kicked out of the house by his grandparents. Yuan Wangshu wanted to enroll in a professional ballet school and become a professional ballet dancer, but her family wanted her to take the college entrance examination normally and inherit the family business. She got angry with her family and ran away from home.
The two people met unexpectedly at a barbecue stall, fought with each other, and were taken to the police station.
The police station was deserted at night. The gangster was taken in for questioning by the police, and the two of them sat outside waiting obediently.
The cold white light of the police station hung overhead. Yuan Wangshu stared at him for a few seconds, then suddenly said, "Shao Zizhuo, let's make a deal."
Shao Zizhuo ignored the girl in front of him and turned his head away without interest.
Yuan Wangshu continued, "My parents didn't let me dance because they were afraid there would be no one to inherit the family business. But I didn't want to inherit the family business at all. I refused to give in. They took a step back and said that if I was willing to marry, then I could continue dancing. I was still young and hadn't even started my life yet, but they wanted to tie me down through marriage. I didn't want to, so I ran away from home."
Shao Zizhuo turned around and asked, "Do you know what you are talking about?"
"I know." Yuan Wangshu was as proud as a swan when she was a young girl. "So, let's have a fake marriage. The Shao family and the Yuan family are a good match."
"No." Shao Zizhuo, who had just been backstabbed, didn't want to return to his shattered home. Marriage? There was no benefit at all. Whoever wanted to go could go.
Yuan Wangshu came up to him and said, "I know your family's situation. Can you really bear to give up the Shao family?"
"It wasn't mine in the first place." Shao Zizhuo sneered. Could that family still accommodate him now? Their family was so happy, where was there any room for him?
"As long as we have a fake marriage, the Yuan family's resources will be allocated to you. Just snap your fingers and the Shao family can be yours." Yuan Wangshu stood up straight and said, "Announce loudly that the Shao family should be yours. We can't let the bad guys get away with it."
Yes, it's mine, why should I give it to outsiders? His beloved stepmother could hurt him for the sake of Shao's, so why should he tolerate it? Shao Zizhuo slowly raised his head, his eyes full of ruthlessness.
Yuan Wangshu patiently coaxed him: "As long as we pretend to be a couple for a while and my parents believe it, I can go abroad to dance, and you can use this to take charge of Shaw Brothers."
"make a deal."
Later, the two of them acted like a couple, which made the Yuan family's parents happy, and the Shao family no longer dared to kick Shao Zizhuo out. Both of them had a brief moment of free time to start building their own lives.
It was not until Yuan Wangshu successfully went abroad and Shao Zizhuo used the Yuan family's funds to start a business and made his first pot of gold that they announced their breakup.
Looking back now, the absurd deal that was made with the backs of their respective families actually only opened up a gap for self-control in their lives. The long road of growth and the fruits that finally arrived had nothing to do with the deal at the police station that night.
Even the incident of pretending to be a couple has an impact that continues to this day.
Shao Zizhuo thought again of the girl who was forced to live under Yuan Wangshu's shadow, and his heart was filled with guilt. The relationship between them was wrong from the beginning.
Shao Zizhuo sighed: "Wangshu, I will take care of this matter."
Yuan Wangshu said, "Well, I probably won't be dancing for much longer. The newcomers are so amazing." She joked, "In the end, I'll have to come back and inherit the family business. I don't know what my parents and I were so stubborn about back then."
Water stains dripped down the sides of the hanging water cup. Shao Zizhuo stared at it for a moment before responding, "The process is the most important. As for the result, it's not that important."
After hanging up the phone, he sent a message to Xiao Liu, fell on the bed, and finally felt a little sleepy.
There was a person sitting alone in the study.
Guan Shanyue had just sorted out the financial reports of well-known domestic companies for the past three years, picked out several potential development directions, and from these directions picked out several start-ups with greater development potential, and ran excitedly to find Shao Zizhuo.
His door was not closed, and light shone through the gap. Guan Shanyue raised his hand and was about to knock on the door.
The doorbell rang, and then Shao Zizhuo's anxious voice came out: "Wangshu, what happened? Why are you calling me suddenly?"
Her hand paused in the air, and the other hand clenched the sorted materials. Guan Shanyue smiled self-deprecatingly and walked away quietly.
You see, when the real person appears, why do we need a substitute?
Guan Shanyue sat in the study, staring blankly at the computer in front of her. The cursor on the Word document was flashing. Her hands were on the keyboard, but she couldn't type a single word.
She paused and searched for "Yuan Wangshu" on the Internet. Immediately, many photos and reports of Yuan Wangshu popped up on the page.
The latest one is titled "Shaw Brothers Group's future boss Yuan Wangshu's ballet ends, when will she return to her motherland?"
Guan Shanyue clicked on it and saw the marketing account making a lot of nonsense, arranging the story of the two people like a novel, full of love stories. The accompanying pictures were individual artistic photos of Shao Zizhuo and Yuan Wangshu in magazines. Guan Shanyue read it carefully and found that the article did not even mention any of Yuan Wangshu's recent performances.
She exited the article, scrolled down, and a similar title jumped into her eyes.
"Why has Yuan Wangshu, daughter of the Yuan family, and Shao Zizhuo, president of the Shao Group, not yet married?"
"Yuan Wangshu, daughter of the Yuan family, ran away due to emotional distress, suspected to have been injured by the young master of the Shao family"
"Analysis of Shaw Brothers President White Moonlight Yuan Wangshu"
Guan Shanyue's face was twisted in a rage. Was Yuan Wangshu not even famous in the ballet world? How could there be no information about her at all?
Guan Shanyue scrolled down in disbelief, and finally, amidst the tangle of love gossip, a piece of news caught her eye: "Angelo Dance Company's principal, Yuan Wangshu, will be performing a play soon."
As soon as you click on it, a still of Yuan Wangshu on the stage pops up.
Her stage makeup was heavy, but her facial features held it back, revealing a proud and cold air instead. Paired with her pure white dance dress that spread like a flower, she looked nothing like an ordinary creature.
There is also a video below that will start playing automatically once you slide it down.
The corner of the video is filled with a group of dancers, the stage is empty, the music is cheerful, and a slender girl is standing on tiptoe, spinning, jumping, and landing, so light that she seems to be able to escape gravity at any time.
These are the two minutes that he exists as the chief Yuan Wangshu. He is not the daughter of the Yuan family, nor is he Mr. Shao's white moonlight.
pleasing to the eye.
Guan Shanyue's restlessness was slowly soothed by this dance.
She fell on the table, looked at the ceiling, and admired Yuan Wangshu from the bottom of her heart. In her heart, an excellent girl should be like this, dancing in a pure land away from noisy gossip, chasing her own life, and not relying on anyone's existence.
She sighed and began to reflect on herself again. She used to be determined and hardworking, but now she was kidnapped by the environment and the plot, clipping her own wings. She thought about love every day and was almost becoming someone else's canary.
No, that's not possible. She spent so much effort to climb the mountain, not to enter a cage and become someone's vassal.
Isn't it just the CEO? I can be one too. Guan Shanyue thought of his previous criticism of the incompetent CEO and smiled. Okay, now I really want to be the CEO.
Guan Shanyue poured himself a cup of coffee, took a big gulp, and continued to analyze the industries he planned to invest in in the future.
