Secretary Liu's speculation gradually became the mainstream discussion in the company.
After all, when Li Wan and Li Rou stand together, everyone can tell who is the biological child.
However, no one dared to go to the two parties to confirm.
Except Chen Shuyuan.
"Li Wan, now the company is saying that you are the adopted daughter of the Li family."
Li Wan took a sip of coffee and said, "No."
"That's what I told you." Chen Shuyuan breathed a sigh of relief.
Li Wan held the coffee in her hand and said in a very calm tone, "Actually, Li Rou and I were born on the same day in the same hospital. The nurse made a mistake, so the two families took the wrong child and raised them for more than 20 years. They only swapped them back a while ago. So she is the Li family's biological daughter, and I am not."
Chen Shuyuan was stunned: "..."
This is so bloody???
Li Wan said calmly: "So it's not accurate to say she's an adopted daughter, right?"
Chen Shuyuan looked at her and nodded hesitantly.
That should be right...right?
Li Wan took a sip of coffee slowly.
Chen Shuyuan looked at her cautiously, "Li Wan, are you telling the truth?"
Li Wan blinked, looking somewhat innocent: "Why don't you believe me every time I tell the truth?"
Chen Shuyuan was speechless because this was too ridiculous!!!
"Don't worry, I will keep it a secret for you." Chen Shuyuan said solemnly.
Li Wan pursed her lips and smiled: "That's not necessary."
Chen Shuyuan was confused: "Ah?"
…
Soon, Li Wan's true life story spread to every corner of the company from Chen Shuyuan's mouth.
People in the pantry rooms on every floor were discussing this matter.
"No way? So bloody?"
"Isn't Li Rou too miserable?"
"I think Li Wan is pretty miserable too."
"Li Wan is not miserable at all. Although she is not the biological daughter of the Li family, she still calls the chairman dad. President Li is still so protective of her that he directly transferred her to the president's office. Didn't Li Rou, her biological sister, also start from the grassroots level in the marketing department?"
"That was sent by the chairman himself. Everyone knows her position. She is a grassroots person. Do you think Manager Wu dares to order her around?"
"I don't think they are miserable, it's us who are miserable."
…
Upon learning that Li Rou was assigned to the marketing department by Li Zelin, Li Jianwen called Li Zelin.
Li Jianwen said after careful consideration: "Are you planning to put Li Rou in the marketing department as a salesperson? I'm afraid that's not quite appropriate."
Li Zelin said in a cold tone: "I don't think it's inappropriate. You personally sent her here today. Everyone knows that she is your daughter. Even if she is at the grassroots level, she will not be wronged."
Li Jianwen was stunned for a moment, then he figured out what Li Zelin meant, that he shouldn't have sent Li Rou here?
Li Zelin suddenly asked back on the other end of the phone: "Have you considered Li Wan's situation?"
Li Jianwen was stunned.
He didn't think too much about it. He personally sent Li Rou to the company because he wanted Li Rou to feel the warmth of family and his father's love. He originally planned to send her to the door, but then he thought that he hadn't been to the company for a long time, so he just came to see her.
I didn't think deeply about it for a moment.
Now that I think about it, it was indeed not well thought out.
Now that Li Zelin pointed it out, he felt a little guilty when thinking of Li Wan.
"I didn't think this through."
Li Zelin said calmly: "Since you have handed the person over to me, then Dad, don't worry about the specific arrangements."
Li Jianwen choked.
After hanging up the phone, he was a little annoyed: "You are really too arrogant. You are so ruthless in your words."
Jiang Wanjiao said: "He was like this even when he was weak."
Li Jianwen: “…”
......
The secretaries in the president's office naturally received the news very early, and guessed that Li Wan must have known it long ago as well.
But everything was normal for Li Wan.
They just pretended not to know.
But behind the scenes, Secretary Liu said, "I said Li Wan and President Li don't look alike at all."
Secretary Wang corrected him: "I said that first."
Secretary Liu sighed and said, "Alas, now that Li Rou is here, I'm afraid Li Wan is not feeling well."
Secretary Wang said, "What's the big deal? No matter what happens to Li Wan, she still has President Li behind her." He said meaningfully, "This Huanxing, after all, still belongs to President Li."
Secretary Xiao, who had not participated in the discussion, was stunned for a moment when he heard Secretary Wang's meaningful tone and Secretary Liu's thoughtful nodding. He always felt that he seemed to have missed a lot during the time he was on a business trip.
…
"How are you?"
Yuan Yang, whom I rarely see recently, happened to meet in the elevator today.
There were only two people in the elevator, so Yuan Yang was able to ask.
Li Wan was slightly stunned. Yuan Yang was the first person in the company to ask her this.
"It seems you have heard about it too." Li Wan said with his usual smile.
Yuan Yang pursed his lips.
Wang Lei told him the first thing he knew.
Looking at the smile on Li Wan's face, he felt a slight pain in his heart.
He suddenly remembered the first time they met, she was drunk and exuded an air of decadence and despair.
That must have been the darkest period of her life.
At that time, he was just full of disgust and had no idea what had happened to her.
She couldn't even pay the rent at the time, and he treated her so badly.
How much pain is hidden behind her calm and smiling face?
Li Wan was a little shocked by Yuan Yang's overly deep expression and sad eyes. "I'm fine, really. What's being spread in the company now is what I asked Shu Yuan to say. Instead of letting them guess, I might as well tell them the answer directly."
Yuan Yang pursed his lips and suddenly said, "I installed surveillance cameras in the corridor, and I also installed one on your door. I also posted a warning sign. I heard that the man has been caught."
Li Wan was a little surprised and nodded, "I know. Thank you..."
She paused, and suddenly suppressed the surprise in her heart, and looked at Yuan Yang. He was still looking at her in the same way. Her heart skipped a beat, and she vaguely guessed that Yuan Yang might like her.
It was really because Yuan Yang was too introverted and reserved, and she hadn't noticed it at all before.
She hesitated for a moment and said, "But I won't live there again. I will tell the landlord to find another tenant. Thank you for your care during this period."
Yuan Yang wasn't too surprised, but still disappointed, "Okay."
I want to ask her when you are moving and if you want my help?
But then she thought that Li Zelin would probably send someone to help her move.
The moment the name Li Zelin appeared in his mind, Yuan Yang suddenly remembered his previous encounters with Li Zelin.
His fingers suddenly tightened.
If there is no blood relationship between Li Wan and Li Zelin, then what he thought was just a brother's possessiveness of his sister would be completely different.
Yuan Yang remembered that night when Li Zelin stood in Li Wan's room and looked at him coldly.
And that day outside the restaurant, Li Zelin's attitude towards him and Li Wan, stripping away the identities of brother and sister, made him look more like a jealous man.
Yuan Yang's heart suddenly tightened.
With a ding, the elevator door opened.
Li Wan lowered her eyes and watched a pair of black leather shoes step in.
When he saw the only two people in the elevator, his footsteps paused slightly. Looking up, he saw two long legs that were too long to see at a glance. He looked up again and saw black trousers, black suit, black shirt, and his favorite black tie with dark patterns around his neck, which seemed to be tattooed on his body. The last look he took saw Li Zelin's expressionless and stern face.
"Mr. Li." Li Wan greeted politely.
Li Zelin just hummed and walked straight to her side, but that position was already occupied by Yuan Yang, and he didn't seem to have any intention of giving up the seat.
The marketing manager who came in coughed twice to try to remind her, but Yuan Yang seemed not to hear her and continued to stand beside Li Wan without moving.
Li Wan's heart tightened.
Li Zelin had a blank expression on his face. "Manager Chen, take your people away for a moment."
He didn't even need to talk to Yuan Yang. In Huanxing, he was at the top of the pyramid.
The marketing manager's heart skipped a beat and for a moment he was a little confused about the current situation, but he also knew that Li Zelin was targeting Yuan Yang, so he quickly took Yuan Yang out of the elevator.
Watch the elevator door close.
Manager Chen looked at Yuan Yang with a headache: "How did you offend Mr. Li?"
He didn't think about Li Wan, but thought that Yuan Yang had offended Li Zelin.
"Manager." Yuan Yang took off his work ID from his neck and said, "I quit."
Manager Chen was stunned.
…
Li Zelin didn't say a word in the elevator. He walked straight towards the office after getting out of the elevator.
Li Wan followed silently.
The two secretaries looked at each other in bewilderment as they saw that the aura between Li Zelin and Li Wan was not right, and that President Li, who was walking in front, was obviously in a low mood.
Li Zelin pushed open the office door and walked in without closing it.
Li Wan followed him in and closed the door.
As soon as the door closed, Li Zelin suddenly turned around and pressed her against the door.
Li Wan's back hit the door with a dull thud, and her back tensed up.
"What did you say to him in the elevator?" Li Zelin pressed her against the door, staring at her with sharp eyes.
"I didn't say anything. I just told him that I wasn't going back to live there." Li Wan said.
Li Zelin's voice suddenly turned colder: "Do you still want to report to him?"
Li Wan blinked: "He is my landlord."
Li Zelin's face froze.
He forgot.
"Brother." Li Wan suddenly put her arms around his waist, tilted her head, and looked up with a pair of peach blossom eyes, "You are too jealous."
Li Zelin suddenly felt uncomfortable and frowned.
He just felt annoyed when he saw other men around Li Wan.
This is so abnormal.
He released his hand that was pressing on her and wanted to leave, but Li Wan hugged her neck.
She hung the man on him, leaned over and kissed him on the lips, looking at him with moist eyes: "Brother, I only love you."
Li Zelin couldn't help but kissed her back.
He pressed Li Wan against the door and kissed her with his head down until his neck was sore. He locked the door, picked her up by her buttocks, and sat her on the desk. He pinched her face and moved closer to her to continue kissing her and eating her mouth. He swept his tongue across her teeth, covered her mouth with saliva, and then held her tongue and sucked it hard.
"Stay away from those people." Li Zelin said.
The people he was referring to included all men who tried to get close to Li Wan.
He had never realized that his possessiveness was so strong. He could not tolerate any man other than himself standing by her side.
He even wanted to kiss her right there in the elevator.
Li Wan felt a dull pain at the tip and root of her tongue from his kiss, and she responded to him vaguely.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
Li Wan froze immediately and pushed Li Zelin away.
Then, there was the sound of turning the doorknob. The door was locked by Li Zelin. The person outside did not turn the doorknob and fell silent.
After being pushed away by Li Wan, Li Zelin calmed down and looked at Li Wan's lips whose lipstick was smudged from his kiss.
Thinking about it, he was really crazy.
Li Zelin carried her down from the desk, lowered his eyes and helped her tidy up her clothes that were messed up by him, and wiped the lipstick that he had smeared outside her lips, but found that it was not easy to wipe off.
Li Wan looked up and found that Li Zelin's lips were also stained with her lipstick. She smiled and raised her hand to wipe his lips, spreading the little bit of lipstick evenly and adding a touch of bright color. This color did not look abrupt on Li Zelin's face, but looked quite good.
The knock on the door sounded hesitantly twice.
He asked cautiously through the door: "Mr. Li?"
The door opened from the inside.
Li Wan smiled at him: "Manager Chen."
Li Wan walked out.
Secretary Xiao asked with concern: "What happened to Mr. Li just now? Is everything okay?"
"It's okay." Li Wan said with a smile.
Secretary Xiao was slightly startled, and felt that Li Wan's eyes were particularly dark and moist. His heart skipped a beat, and he looked away.
"I'm glad you're okay."
Li Wan returned to his office.
…
"Why hasn't Secretary Wu come back yet? She didn't even reply to my WeChat messages."
Secretary Liu said while having lunch in the tea room at noon.
"Didn't she say how many days she would need to be away?" Secretary Xiao asked curiously.
"No, I didn't even write a note. I just reported it to Mr. Li." Secretary Liu said, "Secretary Wu was not such a disobedient person before."
Secretary Wang chewed the beef in his mouth and said, "I think Secretary Wu is waiting for President Li to call her."
Secretary Xiao looked up, somewhat puzzled.
Secretary Wang said dimly, "But I think Secretary Wu will be disappointed."
Without Secretary Wu, Mr. Li still has three secretaries, plus Li Wan. All the things that Secretary Wu used to do are now handed over to Li Wan, and the key is that Li Wan does a pretty good job.
Now, Mr. Li only has Li Wan in his eyes all day long and has forgotten about Secretary Wu.
When Secretary Wang witnessed that scene in the conference room that day, he pondered over it in his mind.
I felt shocked and unbelievable at first, but the more I savored it, the more I discovered something else from the shock.
He was shocked at first because in their hearts, President Li was a bodhisattva who was not affected by the seven emotions and six desires. He had been President Li's secretary for five years and had never seen President Li have physical contact with any woman. Not to mention physical contact, most of the time, President Li was too stingy to even give her a glance. There was only one secretary, Secretary Wu, who had been with him for so many years, but President Li looked at Secretary Wu in the same way as he looked at the other male secretaries.
To put it bluntly, he didn't treat Secretary Wu as a woman at all.
Although Secretary Wang didn't understand why.
After all, Secretary Wu was the most beautiful girl in the company, with a pretty face, big breasts and legs, and she was also very infatuated.
But Mr. Li didn't even notice her.
But Mr. Li didn't even notice her.
I originally thought that Mr. Li might not like women, but the scene in the conference room that day was so shocking.
Mr. Li really has the aura of a domineering CEO.
Secretary Liu and Secretary Xiao seemed completely in the dark.
Secretary Wang felt a little proud.
He is the only one who knows such a big secret, and Mr. Li also knows that he knows it. It feels pretty good.
…
The news of Yuan Yang's resignation spread within an afternoon.
Fortunately, at that time, besides Li Wan, Li Zelin and Yuan Yang, there was only Manager Chen.
Since this matter concerns the boss, Manager Chen of course kept his mouth shut and wouldn't say anything.
Yuan Yang didn't say anything. He just handed in his work ID, took his personal belongings and left. He didn't even go through the resignation procedures and didn't plan to ask for his salary.
Wang Lei asked Yuan Yang why he suddenly resigned. Yuan Yang didn't say anything and just said he didn't want to do it anymore. Wang Lei was very sad and felt that Yuan Yang didn't consider him a friend.
But he subconsciously felt that it was related to Li Wan.
Li Wan learned about Yuan Yang's resignation from Chen Shuyuan.
I guess he was hit hard by what happened in the elevator.
At that auction, Li Wan knew that Yuan Yang's family background must be extraordinary. Being able to spend 30 million to buy a painting, he was certainly not an ordinary family. However, he was usually very low-key. The clothes and shoes he wore were not very expensive, and the car he drove was only worth about 400,000 yuan. He looked like an office worker from a well-off family.
Most of the female colleagues in the company who like him are not attracted to him just because of his seemingly good family background.
He looks like he grew up smoothly and hasn't experienced any hardships in life. People like him have an exceptionally strong self-esteem.
The elevator incident probably dealt a heavy blow to his self-esteem.
As long as he is in Huanxing, it means that Li Zelin will always be superior to him.
When Yuan Yang left, many single female colleagues were heartbroken.
Although Yuan Yang is like a flower on the mountain, out of reach, but it is still a pleasing and happy thing to have such a person in the company who you can look at a few times every day.
And Yuan Yang hasn't publicly expressed who he likes, which means everyone has a chance and hope.
No one expected that Yuan Yang would resign without even going through the resignation procedures.
You can’t just enter Huanxing if you want to.
Then rumors came out that Yuan Yang was actually a rich second-generation.
The watch he wears on his wrist, which he usually hides under his sleeve, is worth as much as a car.
"I thought it was fake." said a male colleague.
Yuan Yang usually covered it with his sleeves. A male colleague happened to see it and asked him about it. Yuan Yang said frankly that it was an A-grade product.
At that time, the male colleagues were shocked by Yuan Yang's calm attitude towards wearing fake goods.
Now that I think about it, that watch might be real.
…
…
Li Rou suddenly came to the top floor, and the secretaries didn't know how to greet her for a moment.
She nodded slightly, then walked straight to Li Wan's office: "Mom asked me to tell you to come home for dinner tonight."
Li Wan was sorting out documents. When she heard Li Rou's voice, she looked up at her in surprise, then blinked and asked, "Which mother?"
Li Rou was silent: "Li family."
"Okay, I understand." Li Wan then asked, "How is your work these days?"
Li Rou was not used to "living in peace" with Li Wan and did not want to answer this question, but she could feel that Li Zelin's secretary was observing this side. She said, "It's okay."
Li Wan said: "That's good, thank you for your trouble."
Li Rou said nothing and left.
"It looks like they have a good relationship." Secretary Liu muttered.
…
"My mother asked me to go home for dinner tonight." Li Wan told Li Zelin.
Li Rou just came up specially to tell her.
Jiang Wanjiao didn't tell her directly, probably because she hoped to let her spend more time with Li Rou.
Li Zelin said, "I have a party tonight and can't go with you. I'll pick you up after it's over."
Li Wan said, "No need, my parents will definitely arrange a car to take me there."
Li Zelin said nothing.
A driver named Xiao Zhou was arranged to take her and Li Rou there.
When Li Wan arrived at the Li family, he was stunned for a moment when he saw Ji Yao. Then when he saw Jiang Wanjiao's smiling eyes, he thought something was wrong.
Did you call her here for a blind date?
Obviously in their eyes, her "colleague" was far inferior to Ji Yao.
She looked at Li Rou, and a gloating smile appeared on the corner of Li Rou's mouth.
Jiang Wanjiao called out, "Wanwan, come and sit down. Come and see who this is."
Li Wan walked over and sat down next to Jiang Wanjiao, then smiled at Ji Yao: "Brother Ji."
Ji Yao looked at her and smiled: "We meet again so soon."
Li Wan just smiled.
Jiang Wanjiao immediately followed up and asked, "Have you met before?"
Ji Yao said, "I had a few words with Wanwan on your birthday last week."
Jiang Wanjiao said: "Oh, that's fate."
Li Wan thought, what kind of fate is this? In such an occasion, the probability of not meeting each other is even smaller than the probability of meeting each other.
The food was served and they moved to the dining room.
Ji Yao very gentlemanly pulled out a chair for Li Wan, then sat down next to her very naturally. During the meal, he picked up a piece of food for Li Wan with his chopsticks and told her some funny stories about Li Wan when she was a child. The atmosphere was very harmonious.
Eat a meal.
Jiang Wanjiao looked at Ji Yao with such loving eyes that it seemed as if she was looking at her future son-in-law.
After dinner, they left the table to Aunt Zhou to clean up and moved to the living room.
Ji Yao and Li Jianwen talked about business matters.
Jiang Wanjiao did not forget why she called Ji Yao and Li Wan to dinner. She secretly glared at Li Jianwen, then changed the subject: "I still remember when I was a kid, Wan Wan went to Ji Yao's house every day..."
At this time, the conversation between Li Zelin and Aunt Zhou could be heard from the entrance.
"Is Mr. Li back?"
"Aunt Zhou."
"Oh, it's raining outside?" Aunt Zhou said in surprise and took the umbrella from Li Zelin.
"It rained a little." Li Zelin changed his shoes and walked inside.
Everyone in the living room looked at him.
Li Wan was also a little surprised. She didn't expect Li Zelin to come, nor did she expect him to come so early. The dinner party that Li Zelin attended would not end for at least three or four hours, and it had only been a short time.
"Zelin, why are you here? Aren't we going to have dinner today?" Jiang Wanjiao asked in surprise.
"It's over, so I came to take a look." Li Zelin moved his eyes away from Li Wan's face and walked in. When his eyes swept over Ji Yao, they suddenly fixed.
Jiang Wanjiao smiled and said, "Zelin, I remember you and Ji Yao were classmates before, right?"
"Yes." Ji Yao said with a smile: "But Ze Lin and I were not very familiar with each other at that time."
Li Zelin didn't say anything, but walked straight to the empty seat next to Li Wan and sat down.
Ji Yao's eyes flickered slightly.
Li Rou was also somewhat thoughtful.
Jiang Wanjiao and Li Jianwen didn't think much about it.
Li Zelin and Li Wan have indeed become much closer recently, and this thought only flashed through his mind.
Jiang Wanjiao continued her previous words: "Zelin, do you remember that there was a period of time when Wanwan was particularly attached to you when you were a child? Later, when you went to summer camp, Ji Yao happened to move in at that time, and his mother brought him over to say hello. Wanwan fell in love with Ji Yao at first sight and insisted on keeping him at home for dinner. When Ji Yao left, she chased him to the gate. Later, she wanted to run to Ji Yao's house every day, chasing after him and calling him brother. Later, when you came back from summer camp, she didn't even kiss you anymore. She got tired of the old and fell in love with the new brother Ji Yao."
Ji Yao looked over with a smile.
Li Wan was a little embarrassed, and then felt Li Zelin's gaze passing across her face.
Then I heard him say in a cold tone: "Really? I don't remember."
Jiang Wanjiao didn't care and continued, "Then Ji Yao moved away. When was that? Wanwan was in high school, right? When she heard that Ji Yao had moved away, she secretly hid in her room and cried."
Li Wan suddenly froze, feeling a cold gaze falling on her face as if it were real.
Ji Yao, who was sitting opposite her, also stared at her with burning eyes.
Li Wan smiled dryly and said, "How could such a thing happen? I don't even remember it."
Jiang Wanjiao struck while the iron was hot and said, "Do you two have your phone numbers? If not, leave your numbers. When you are free in the future, you two can make an appointment for dinner."
"No need." Li Zelin suddenly said.
Then, in front of the shocked gazes of everyone in the room, he grabbed Li Wan's hand, spread out her stiff fingers, squeezed them in, and interlocked their fingers.
Li Wan's scalp felt like it was bursting, her whole body was tense, and she turned her head to look at him stiffly.
Ji Yao looked at the two people's clasped hands and his pupils shrank slightly.
Li Rou was shocked.
Jiang Wanjiao and Li Jianwen looked at them in disbelief.
"Zelin, what are you doing..."
Li Zelin held Li Wan's stiff hand tightly, looked at her deeply, then turned his head, glanced at Ji Yao coldly, and announced calmly: "We are in love."
…
…
…
The living room fell into an eerie silence, and the atmosphere was almost frozen.
When Aunt Zhou, who came out of the kitchen with cut fruit, heard this, her hand holding the plate trembled for a moment, and then she quietly retreated back to the kitchen.
Li Wan's breathing stopped and his heart was beating wildly in his chest.
Li Zelin is so crazy!
He is crazy.
