Chapter 41: A Serendipitous Encounter
Coming out of Zhong's house, Zhong Zhiyan received a message from Song Sixian, and he went to the Universe Club. There were still many people in the box, and Song Sixian was already drunk.
"Zhiyan, are you here?" Song Sixian grabbed Zhong Zhiyan, who had just arrived, and said vaguely, "Let's go, follow me to see the office building of the company I used to open." β
Zhong Zhiyan heard it inexplicably, "Isn't it here?"
"No, not here. Song Sixian howled, but couldn't tell.
"What the hell is wrong with him?" Zhong Zhiyan asked his friend who was still sober next to him.
The man smiled, "Sixian went to the class reunion today, and the class reunion has a serious career." β
Zhong Zhiyan looked down at Song Sixian, who was almost lying down, and thought that he would be stimulated by this kind of thing.
"Zhiyan, let's go, let's go see the office building. β
"It's too late, tomorrow. β
Song Sixian was already broken, and he couldn't hear the words of others, so he pulled Zhong Zhiyan out, Zhong Zhiyan couldn't resist him, so he could only call another friend to accompany Song Sixian.
Although Song Sixian was drunk, he really led them to an office building. Song Sixian still had to go upstairs, and Zhong Zhiyan and another friend supported him left and right.
"That's where I used to work, the financial company, there weren't a few here at that time, I was a pioneer, and they were all playing with what I had left. β
"You're just unlucky, after two years, you can make a comeback. Another friend comforted Song Sixian.
"I don't play with them anymore, I'm doing better now...... Better investment. β
Zhong Zhiyan couldn't help laughing, it was the first time he had heard someone package gambling as an investment.
Late at night, Xin Zhi, who was concentrating, was startled by the sudden ringing of her mobile phone, and she frowned immediately when she saw the screen, but still picked up the phone.
"Xin Zhi, I'm downstairs from you, I have something for you when you come down. β
"I ......"
Chen Lingyue had an ordered tone, and before Xin Zhi could answer, he ended the call first.
Walking downstairs, Xin Zhi saw Chen Lingyue standing at the door.
"Is there anything wrong with you?" Xin Zhi stood in front of Chen Lingyue and asked directly.
Chen Lingyue handed Xin Zhi a bag, "This is a chestnut from my hometown, my mother told me to bring it to you to taste." β
"No, you can keep it for yourself. Xin Zhi replied.
Chen Lingyue's hand hung awkwardly, but he quickly put it down and said to Xin Zhi with a smile: "This is my mother's intention, she has a great change in her opinion of you." β
Xin Zhi avoided Chen Lingyue's gaze, "Didn't we make it clear?"
"When you're free, let's go home and let the parents meet. β
Xin Zhi looked at Chen Lingyue and sighed, "There's no need." β
"When the parents meet, your attitude will change. β
Looking at Chen Lingyue's confident appearance, Xin Zhi was helpless, and he continued: "I have already told my mother about our affairs in detail, and she said to respect my own wishes. β
Chen Lingyue's expression changed, "It's all a misunderstanding, I'll explain it clearly when we meet." β
Because Xin Zhi didn't want to make a fuss at work, she still said to Chen Lingyue very tactfully: "You and I are very busy with work, so don't waste time." β
Chen Lingyue smiled, "Now we are not in a hurry, we can slow down and start with friends." Even if it's an ordinary friend, it's not a big deal to give you a little hometown specialty. β
Chen Lingyue still wanted to give the gift to Xin Zhi, but Xin Zhi refused to accept it, and the two of them pulled at the door. Xin Zhi was irritable and wanted to push Chen Lingyue away, but Chen Lingyue grabbed Xin Cen's arm and didn't let go.
"What are you doing?" Someone suddenly grabbed Chen Lingyue's wrist and asked sharply.
Chen Lingyue was stunned for a moment, and the man pulled Xin Zhi away.
Xin Zhi fixed her eyes and saw that it was Zhong Zhiyan, she quickly stood behind Zhong Zhiyan, and the tall Zhong Zhiyan was like a wall separating Chen Lingyue.
"Who are you?" Chen Lingyue asked as he glared at Zhong Zhiyan.
Xin Zhi looked at Yi Zhiyan and said to Chen Lingyue: "This is my new partner, Mr. Zhong of Zhongshan Group. β
Chen Lingyue was stunned for a moment, and then subconsciously stood up straighter, "I'm Xin Zhi's friend." β
Zhong Zhiyan looked at Chen Lingyue, "What a coincidence, I'm also a friend of Xin Zhi, and I have some work to talk about now." β
Chen Lingyue was reluctant, but after looking at Zhong Zhiyan, he still left. Xin Zhi immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhong Zhiyan looked at Xin Zhi and asked, "What's the matter?"
Xin Zhi looked indescribable, "It's so late, why are you here?"
"Accompanied a friend to the office, and now they are gone first. Zhong Zhiyan said.
Xin Zhi smiled, "Thank you just now, come and sit in my office." β
Zhong Zhiyan followed Xin Zhi upstairs and walked into Xin Zhi's studio, which was not like an ordinary office, but like a garden.
"Your environment here is good," Zhong Zhiyan looked at Xin Zhi, "It matches your name very well." β
Xin Zhi, who was praised, smiled, "This is the faΓ§ade of the studio, and it took a little thought." β
After the two sat down, Xin Zhi opened her mouth, "It was my blind date just now, and I couldn't push it away from the introduction of the family." β
"Are you dissatisfied with him?" Zhong Zhiyan asked naturally.
Xin Zhi suddenly laughed, "It's him who is not satisfied with me." No, it was his mother who was dissatisfied, saying that my work was related to the entertainment industry, and the environment was complicated, which was not conducive to family stability. β
Zhong Zhiyan snorted and laughed.
Xin Zhi recalled the situation just now and shook her head again and again, "It turns out that I went through the motions because of my family relationship, but I didn't expect to get into this trouble." β
"Why didn't you investigate the person you introduced at home?" Zhong Zhiyan asked.
"How can the elders care about these personalities, they only know that their jobs are stable and their family backgrounds are innocent. At the beginning, he agreed to be an ordinary friend, and he made it clear before, and now he said that he had persuaded his mother to let me get back together with him. If I knew it, I refused it directly, and I resolutely didn't come and go. β
Xin Zhi suddenly suppressed her voice, she was surprised how she naturally complained in front of Zhong Zhiyan.
"That's your excellence!" Zhong Zhiyan said.
"Don't mention it," Xin Zhi looked at Zhong Zhiyan and whispered, "Fortunately, I have you." β
Zhong Zhiyan was a little more serious, "I feel that this person's eyes are paranoid. β
Xin Zhi was stunned for a moment before saying, "That's too right, you can see through him at a glance." β
"In this case, you still don't want to meet him alone. Zhong Zhiyan pondered, "If he pesters you again, it is better to call the security guard or call the police as soon as possible for the sake of safety." β
Zhong Zhiyan's serious expression was a little different from his usual graceful expression, and Xin Zhi could see it. She has seen many actors with outstanding appearances, but at this time, she was moved by Zhong Zhiyan.
"Why do you see people being so accurate?" Xin Zhi asked suddenly.
Zhong Zhiyan blinked, as if he was at a loss, "Yes, maybe I've seen too much social news, there is an expert's analysis on it, and pestering girls is something done by paranoia." β
Zhong Zhiyan has a charming temperament, seamlessly switching between virtual and real, facing him is like seeing flowers in a fog, and he hates himself the most for not having a pair of discerning eyes to see clearly. Xin Zhi thought about it and laughed, "Are you interested in entering the entertainment industry?"
Zhong Zhiyan was drinking coffee, and almost choked when he heard this, "It's too late." β
Xin Zhi smiled even more happily, "Just kidding, if you agree, Zhong Lao won't agree either." β
Zhong Zhiyan showed a lost expression, "Oh, make me happy, I thought you were really going to dig me for my debut." β
Xin Zhi paused and changed the topic, "I heard that you are investing?"
Zhong Zhiyan smiled, "If you don't do well, you'll die." β
"Mr. Zhong was humble. β
Zhong Zhiyan's expression was embarrassed, "It's true." They all said that they had opened the golden finger and what they lost when they invested. β
Seeing that Zhong Zhiyan was serious, Xin Zhi put away her smile, "Oh?"
"I don't know much about the industry, and I'm not familiar with this place......"
Xin Zhi knew Zhong Zhiyan's difficulties, and she suddenly said, "Are you interested in investing in film and television projects?"
Zhong Zhiyan looked at Xin Zhi and was stunned, "Now?"
Xin Zhi smiled, "It's too late today, let's find time to talk about it." β
"You...... Do you still have to work?" Zhong Zhiyan asked.
Xin Zhi looked at the computer and showed fatigue, "Let's get it tomorrow." β
"Then I'll give you an answer. Zhong Zhiyan said naturally, as if he was afraid that Xin Zhi would refuse, so he added, "It's better to be careful tonight." β
When Xin Zhi came home and saw Xin's mother sitting in the living room, she asked, "Mom, why haven't you slept yet?"
Xin Mu walked over with a smile, "Wait for you." β
"What are you waiting for me to do?" Xin Zhi asked.
"I prepared a supper for you. β
Xin's mother walked into the kitchen and brought out a bowl of white fungus soup, and Xin Zhi sat down at the dining table.
Xin's mother looked at Xin Zhi and said, "Ling Yue came here just now. β
Xin Zhi immediately stopped moving, she looked up at Xin's mother, "What is he doing here?"
"Gave us some hometown specialty. Xin's mother replied.
Xin Zhi lowered her head and was secretly angry, she didn't expect this Chen Lingyue to be so nonsense.
"Ling Yue is very good......
"Mom, Chen Lingyue and I are ordinary friends. Xin Zhi interrupted Xin's mother.
Xin's mother was stunned for a moment and asked, "What are you dissatisfied with him?"
"I'm not dissatisfied," Xin Zhi showed a wronged expression, "It was he who brought it up, saying that he was an ordinary friend." β
Xin Mu was stunned for a moment, "That person is afraid of putting pressure on you, what I heard is that he is very satisfied with you." β
"But that's not what he said to me, like this, one thing in front and one thing in the back, what should I do?" Xin Zhi felt even more wronged.
Xin's mother thought for a while and said, "Since this is the case, then you take the initiative to express your favor." β
Xin Zhi laughed all of a sudden, and Xin's mother looked at her with a puzzled look and asked, "What are you laughing at?"
"I don't have a good feeling, why do you want to express it?" Xin Zhi asked.
Xin's mother was angry, "Then you are just dissatisfied with him." β
"I'm very satisfied with being an ordinary friend, and I don't have any other ideas. Xin Zhi said.
"Then how long are you going to drag on this matter?" Xin Mu was a little angry.
Xin Zhi was silent, and she didn't eat and sat still.
Xin's mother said earnestly: "Your working environment is unstable, Ling Yue's father is your father's old comrade-in-arms, he knows the roots, and his work is also stable, we think about it is the most suitable for you." β
If you don't tell the truth, you can't get by, Xin Zhi simply confessed, "Mom, Chen Lingyue's mother thinks that my job is unstable and doesn't agree with us being together at all." β
Xin Mu showed a surprised expression, "It's impossible." β
Xin Zhi sighed, "I didn't want to say it, for fear of affecting your friendship, but I don't want to bear it anymore if he backtracks like this." We respect his work, and they have so little respect for me and my work, there is nothing to say. β
"This ...... Is there some misunderstanding. Xin's mother was embarrassed and said, "You and Ling Yue have a good talk?"
Xin Zhi's eyes were serious, "Mom, there was still a possibility to talk about it before today, but now it is absolutely impossible, he doesn't want to get close to me again." β
