Chapter 007: Sometimes Life Has No Choice
Sogyal Rinpoche said, "Life seems to be taking our place. Life itself has a strange impact that makes us dizzy, and in the end, we have no choice in life, no decision. β

Along the way, the car was terrifyingly quiet. Gu Xixi, who has always driven at a slow speed, seems to be venting the depression in his heart with a gallop.
Chen Shiran supported his head with one hand, but his eyes that had been closed were frowning. The speed of the car made his head dizzy, but he didn't say anything the whole time.
When I came to Teng Qiming's company, I happened to see Teng Qiming and Su Zhen just getting out of the car.
"Sissy. Su Zhen took Rateng Qiming's hand and looked at Gu Xixi with a smile.
Gu Xixi and Chen Shanran walked closer, and Teng Qiming greeted Chen Shanran with a smile: "It's here, Shanran." β
Chen Shiran smiled faintly and nodded.
"I am still satisfied with the assistant I assigned to Mr. Chen?" Teng Qiming glanced at Gu Xixi and asked knowingly.
Chen Shiran replied unceremoniously in front of Gu Xixi: "It's stupid." β
But Gu Xixi only lowered his eyes slightly and remained silent.
Su Zhen saw that Gu Xixi's whole body was wilted like a frosted eggplant, and gave Teng Qiming a look: "Husband, don't you and Lonely Ran have something to talk about, then I'll talk to Xixi, okay?"
Teng Qiming looked at Chen Shanran, and only when he saw Chen Shanran nodding did he agree.
The two men went to the office, and Su Zhen took Gu Xixi to a coffee shop next to the company and sat down.
Su Zhen held Gu Xixi's hand with some worry: "Xixi, what's going on?"
Gu Xixi pursed her lips and shook her head: "It's okay." β
Gu Xixi's face was clearly written when there was something to do: "What happened, can't even I say?"
At this time, the waiter brought up the coffee that the two of them ordered casually, and the coffee was hot and the rich aroma filled the tip of the nose. And Gu Xixi looked at the coffee in front of him a little distracted, and then suddenly his eyes turned red.
Gu Xixi has always been an optimist, and Su Zhen has only seen her cry once in so many years, and that was when she sent Chen Shiran abroad. And she was still full of anger on the phone just now, but she was languishing at this moment, seeing that Gu Xixi was about to shed tears, Su Zhen was anxious at the moment: "If you don't say it, then I'll ask Chen Shiran." β
"Don't. Gu Xixi snatched Su Zhen's phone: "It's really fine, don't ask him." β
Su Zhen thought that if Chen Shanran returned to China this time, she might be able to reconcile Gu Xixi and Chen Shanran, even if she couldn't be a lover, it would be good to be a friend again.
But now seeing Gu Xixi's state, Su Zhen began to wonder if she had harmed Gu Xixi by doing so.

In the office at the other end.
Teng Qiming poured two glasses of whiskey with ice, and handed one to Chen Shiran: "Do you plan to stay in China when you come back this time?"
Chen Shiran took the wine glass but didn't drink it, and shook it casually in his hand: "The domestic market is very stable, and I have no reason not to come back and share a piece of the cake in front of me." β
Teng Qiming laughed twice, and asked a little knowingly: "What you did in the United States is so prosperous, and you suddenly returned to China just to get a piece of cake?"
Chen Shiran watched the ice cubes soaked in wine in the cup slowly melt, raised his eyebrows and looked at Teng Qiming with a light smile, and did not answer his question, but asked rhetorically: "It seems that the cooperation project between the Teng family and the Chen family has not been finalized. β
Teng Qiming's words just now wanted to tease Chen Shanran for two sentences, but he didn't expect to be understated by Chen Shanran.
Teng's and Chen's cooperation project has been a little obstructive in the middle, Teng Qiming also has a headache, at this moment was mentioned by Chen Shiran, Teng Qiming of course went down the steps: "There are indeed some obstacles in the middle of this project, it just so happens that you are back, you can't ignore the relationship between public and private for so many years." β
Chen Shiran smiled and said ambiguously: "In the past two years, I have asked very little about the things in the company, so I can only do my best." β
It took Chen Xiaoran less than three years to create "M,G" in the United States, and now he can return to China with a huge amount of venture capital funds. He is no longer the naΓ―ve big boy he once was, the depth of his mind is incomprehensible, and no one can be underestimated in his current power.
