Chapter 073: I Told You, I'll Wait for You
Jiang Nian moved out to live, but he didn't tell Zhou Baisheng and Lu Jingshu in advance, because saying it would be tantamount to a complete showdown of her relationship with Zhou Yibai.
The relationship between her and Zhou Yibai is not a last resort, she will not tell Zhou Baisheng in person, she hopes that everything will be explained by Zhou Yibai to Zhou Baisheng.
For one, they are father and son, far closer than her.
Second, she wants to leave this minimum dignity to Zhou Yibai.
Moving out of Zhou's house, except for her computer materials and books, Jiang Nian didn't take anything with her, and not a single piece of clothing was taken away from Zhou's house.
Her things in Paris have been sorted out by her roommate for her and sent back to China, so she doesn't need the clothes of the Zhou family at all.
Shen Tingnan knew that Jiang Nian was going to move out to live, and he was a little excited and couldn't help himself, so he immediately asked the secretary to list all the properties of the Shen family near the Shen family and let Jiang Nian choose a set.
Jiang Nian refused with a smile, and asked the secretary to help find a one-bedroom and one-hall bachelor apartment in the annex, and she paid the rent herself.
Because if she lives in the real estate under the name of the Shen family, whether it is Zhou Yibai or the outside world, I am afraid that she will think that she and Shen Tingnan are together.
Since Jiang Nian insisted, Shen Tingnan couldn't say anything more.
However, the secretary's efficiency is quite high, and he helped Jiang Nian find a house at noon that day, and it was with all the furniture and household appliances, and the house was quite new and clean, just near the Shen office building, just across the street, and it took about fifteen minutes to walk.
Jiang Nian went to see it and was very satisfied, so he rented it directly.
The house was rented, and the things she sent back from Paris, which had been sent to the Shen family before, could now be moved to her own apartment.
However, naturally Jiang Nian didn't have to do it himself, Shen Tingnan made a phone call and directly asked the servants and secretary of the Shen family to help her arrange everything, and asked the secretary to buy all the toiletries and daily necessities for Jiang Nian, and clean the apartment.
"Jiang Tezhu, toiletries and daily necessities, do you have any designated brands?" Before going to buy, the secretary asked Jiang Nian.
Jiang Nian shook his head, "No, you can watch and buy it." β
"Try to buy imported brands as much as possible. Immediately, Shen Tingnan commanded.
Jiang Nian squinted at him, "If everyone thinks like you, then who will buy Shen's products?"
Looking at Jiang Nian, Shen Tingnan smiled, and was speechless.
"If everyone develops a good habit of using domestic brands, then our own market will be at least five times or larger than it is now. Looking at Shen Tingnan, Jiang Nian added.
"Jiang Tezhu, you are so amazing!" Silently, the secretary gave Jiang Nian a thumbs up.
"......." Shen Tingnan touched his nose silently, glanced at the secretary, and was even more speechless.
After arranging everything in the apartment, Shen Tingnan took Jiang Nian to lunch, and after lunch, the two immediately returned to Shen's family and devoted themselves to various work.
I was busy all the time, and before I knew it, I was busy until more than nine o'clock in the evening.
Seeing that the time was so late, Shen Tingnan immediately accepted the documents, pulled Jiang Nian off work, and went to dinner.
Dinner was settled in the restaurant near Shen's downstairs, and by the time the two of them finished eating, it was already past ten o'clock in the evening.
"I'm not going back, I'll be with you for one night, okay?" After eating, coming out of the restaurant, Shen Tingnan asked Jiang Nian cheekily.
"If you don't go back, what will Merlin do, she will be scared. Faintly, Jiang Nian told him a fact.
Although the Shen family has grandparents and grandmothers, at this time, Shen Molin relies more on Shen Tingnan's elder brother.
Looking at Jiang Nian, Shen Tingnan twisted his brows and thought about it, and then nodded and said, "Then I'll send you back." β
Jiang Nian shook his head, "No need, you can go quickly, I'll go back by myself." β
Shen Tingnan looked at her, took a breath of cold air, and then nodded, "Okay, then you should be careful yourself, if there is anything, call me as soon as possible." β
"Well, hurry up and get in the car, it's not too late. Jiang Nian advised.
"Good. Shen Tingnan nodded, then opened the door of the car parked on the side, got into the car, and then lowered the window and waved to Jiang Nian.
Jiang Nian waved at him, and after watching his car leave, he raised his legs and walked in the direction of his apartment.
The new apartment is in a prosperous area, although it is already more than ten o'clock in the evening, but the street is full of people and is still very lively, she does not have to worry about any robbery on the road.
For the first time, she had her own apartment and her own nest, although it was rented, but this feeling was good.
It's just that what she didn't expect was that after walking a few steps, she found that not far in front of her, in the crowd of people, stood an unusually tall and familiar figure.
- It's Zhou Yibai.
He was standing there, his figure was tall, his body was as long as jade, and the flow of people was shuttling, but he was motionless, and his two deep burning eyes only sank on Jiang Nian's body.
Why is Zhou Yibai here, is it a coincidence?
But what's her business?
After glancing at Zhou Yibai, Jiang Nian withdrew his gaze and continued to walk her way as if he hadn't seen anything.
It's just that when he walked past Zhou Yibai, he suddenly reached out and held Jiang Nian's hand.
Jiang Nian was slightly stunned, and his footsteps stopped.
"Come back with me. Holding Jiang Nian, Zhou Yibai turned around, looked at her, and spoke softly.
Jiang Nian looked at him, raised his lips and smiled slightly, "No need, I have already rented a house, and it is nearby." β
"Jiang Nian ,......."
"Zhou Yibai, if we can still be friends in the future, please respect me once or twice. Looking at Zhou Yibai, before his words could be spoken, Jiang Nian directly interrupted him.
Zhou Yibai looked at her, his eyes were heavy, gloomy, but he couldn't say a word.
The streets were full of people, and they stared at each other in silence, and no one spoke, and many people recognized them and cast curious glances at them, but none of them dared to come forward to disturb them.
"Okay, then I'll send you back. After a few seconds of silence, Zhou Yibai finally compromised and spoke in a dumb voice.
"No, I ......."
"Jiang Nian, don't force me anymore, okay?" Zhou Yibai gritted his teeth, and his low roar overflowed from his throat bone, and his eyes instantly turned scarlet.
Jiang Nian looked at him, in public, she couldn't quarrel with him, not to mention, she didn't want to quarrel with him, so she finally nodded, let him lead her, and walked to the apartment she rented.
In the hospital, Ye Xiying leaned on the hospital bed, looking at the backs of Zhou Yibai and Jiang Nian, who were sent to her by her friends, holding hands and "strolling" on the street, a pair of beautiful big eyes, as if they had been quenched with poison, and the pain and hatred that she had never felt before poured out.
She had a miscarriage in the third month of pregnancy, and when she came out of the operating room, Zhou Yibai sent her to the ward, and then left, and then never came to see her again, and even, no matter how she called him or sent him a message, he ignored it and didn't give any reaction.
Zhou Yibai, you are so ruthless, you are really ruthless!
Gritting his teeth fiercely, the mobile phone was held in the palm of Ye Xiying's hand, almost crushed.......
..............
The name of the apartment is Yinling Mansion, and Jiang Nian lives on the 17th floor.
Zhou Yibai led Jiang Nian all the way, and the two of them walked silently, no one spoke, until they entered the Yinling Mansion and arrived at the elevator, Jiang Nian said, "Go back, I'm here." β
"I'll send you up. Zhou Yibai replied, and then, just "ding dong.......", the elevator arrived, the elevator door opened, he pulled Jiang Nian, and entered the elevator.
Jiang Nian glanced at him lightly, didn't say anything, and directly pressed the 17th floor.
The elevator rose quickly, and soon reached the 17th floor, Jiang Nian got out of the elevator, and Zhou Yibai hurriedly followed.
"You go back!" Jiang Nian spoke again.
Zhou Yibai looked at Jiang Nian, twisted his handsome eyebrows, put one hand into his trouser pocket, and stood there without speaking.
Jiang Nian didn't understand what he was thinking, and didn't say anything more to him, just walked straight to his apartment door, entered the password, and then, the apartment door "clicked" open.
When Jiang Nian entered the apartment and was about to close the door, Zhou Yibai also walked in.
Jiang Nian turned around and looked up at him who was close at hand, "......."
However, Zhou Yibai ignored Jiang Nian's surprise at all, directly ignored Jiang Nian who was blocking in front of him, squeezed past her, and generously visited Jiang Nian's new nest.
The secretary understands life very well, and actually bought Jiang Nian a vase and two bouquets of flowers, a bouquet of lilies, and a bouquet of sky blue stars, not only that, but on the wall of the living room, there are two more paintings, abstract paintings, on the coffee table, and there are many new magazines of various colors, and all of Jiang Nian's things, the secretary and the servants of the Shen family have already helped her tidy them up, put them in the place where they should be placed, and the bed is also made, everything is brand new.
Jiang Nian glanced at it and was very satisfied, the only thing that was not satisfied was that Zhou Yibai was on her territory at the moment, looking at it wantonly.
"Shouldn't you go?" Jiang Nian was not in a hurry, and waited for Zhou Yibai to finish looking at it before she spoke lightly.
"Since you're moving out, move out and live. After looking at the entire apartment, Zhou Yibai turned around, looked at Jiang Nian, and suddenly said, "However, you and I are still husband and wife, how can we live separately." β
Jiang Nian looked at him, if by now, she still didn't understand what the reason for Zhou Yibai to follow him all the way, then she was stupid enough.
"I'm sorry, I don't agree. Jiang Nian was a little angry, but he was depressed and refused neatly.
"You sleep in the bedroom, I sleep on the living room sofa. Ignoring Jiang Nian's attitude at all, Zhou Yibai sat down on the sofa, and then, took out his mobile phone, called Steward Zhou, and instructed Steward Zhou to send him a few sets of changing clothes.
"Zhou Yibai, what do you want?" restrained, and after Zhou Yibai hung up the phone, Jiang Nian asked again.
"I don't want to do anything, I just want to live together before we get divorced, so that rumors don't fly. Looking at Jiang Nian, Zhou Yibai replied very calmly.
ββLest rumors fly all over the sky and affect the Zhou family and Wanfeng Group, right?
"Heh......." Jiang Young pulled the corners of his lips and smiled meaninglessly, and then, ignoring Zhou Yibai, he went straight into the bedroom and went to get clothes and take a bath.......
..............
After all night, Jiang Nian didn't pay attention to Zhou Yibai anymore, until the next morning, when she opened the bedroom door and came out of the room, she saw Zhou Yibai curled up on the sofa, sleeping quite soundly and peacefully.
Zhou Yibai has long hands and feet, a tall figure, and the sofa in the three-person position is full of him.
Jiang Nian really doesn't understand, as long as the Zhou family doesn't want to be reported by the media, it is estimated that no media in the whole country will dare to expose it at will, so Zhou Yibai really doesn't need to be so wronged for some gossip that cannot be spread.
But since he likes it, let him be.
didn't wake up Zhou Yibai, Jiang Nian went to the bathroom to wash, and when she came out of the bathroom after washing, Zhou Yibai had already woken up, and the pillows and blankets he had slept on had been neatly stacked in the corner of the sofa, but there was no one to see him.
Jiang Nian was curious, his eyes wandered around the apartment, and then, immediately, he found Zhou Yibai who was exercising on the balcony of the living room.
Raising his eyebrows, Jiang Nian ignored him and went directly into the kitchen.
If conditions permit, Jiang Nian still likes to cook his own food at home, and he can eat as much as he wants.
Zhou Yibai practiced for a while, and when he came in and saw Jiang Nian who was busy in the kitchen, he couldn't be more satisfied and smiled, and then went to the bathroom to wash.
When he came out of the bathroom, Jiang Nian's breakfast had already been prepared, it was very simple, tomato egg noodles, and milk.
Seeing the two breakfasts on the table, Zhou Yibai lowered his head and smiled, and then, while wiping his hair, he walked over, faced Jiang Nian, sat down at the table, and began to eat breakfast.
From getting up in the morning to eating breakfast, neither of the two of them spoke, or even looked at each other, but the various pictures were never harmonious.
After Jiang Nian finished breakfast, he went back to his room to change his clothes, and then went out directly to work in the Shen family.
Zhou Yibai watched Jiang Nian leave, packed up all his things, and washed the dishes, and then called the assistant and asked the assistant to come and pick him up.
Before changing his clothes and going out, Zhou Yibai took a look at the small apartment of less than 50 square meters again, a joy and satisfaction that he had never felt before, but his whole heart was full, and there was never a moment when he felt that he was as happy as he was at this moment.......
..............
In addition to being busy with Shen's work, Jiang Nian also has to prepare his own papers, but at the moment, it is naturally Shen's work that is important.
Although Shen's work is complicated for Jiang Nian and Shen Tingnan, fortunately, Shen Zhiyuan's assistants and secretaries are very loyal, and with their help, many jobs are much easier for Jiang Nian and Shen Tingnan.
Shen Zhiyuan's assistant surname is Zhang, almost forty years old, his work ability is very good, he has been the assistant to the chairman before, and now Shen Tingnan has taken over all Shen Zhiyuan's work, and his assistant has been promoted to the vice president of the company.
Shen Tingnan and Jiang Nian both discovered the problem of the company's procurement cost before, and Vice President Zhang naturally found out, after nearly a week of careful investigation, Vice President Zhang gave the results of the investigation to Shen Tingnan and Jiang Nian.
Obviously, it was the people in the procurement department who took the kickback, and this kickback was very expensive, but in half a year, the kickback was as high as three million.
"Mr. Shen, how do you see how to deal with this matter, is it to make an example and directly dismiss the relevant personnel involved in the procurement department, or what?" After Shen Tingnan and Jiang Nian finished reading the investigation results, Vice President Zhang asked Shen Tingnan.
"Ah Nian, what do you think?" Shen Tingnan looked at Jiang Nian and asked her opinion.
Jiang Young frowned and thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "I don't think now is the time to make an example, the most important thing now is not only to stabilize people's hearts, but also to buy people's hearts and unite people's hearts." β
"Also, Mr. Shen has just taken office, and people's hearts are indeed the most important. Vice President Zhang nodded and agreed with Jiang Nian's idea.
"Ah Nian, then what do you think should be done?" Shen Tingnan asked as he looked at Jiang Nian again.
"The amount of three million, not only a serious violation of the company's rules and regulations, but also has constituted an economic crime, first let the lawyer talk to the relevant personnel involved in the procurement department secretly, if they are willing to return the kickbacks, and promise not to make the same mistake again, continue to do things for the company, then as if nothing has happened, no one is to blame, and the company gives them a 10% increase, but if they are unwilling, they will go directly to the legal level. Without hesitation, Jiang Nian replied.
"The salary has increased by 10%?!" Vice President Zhang was a little surprised.
Jiang Nian nodded and said calmly, "I mean, the wages of all the people in the company have increased by 10% At the end of the year, everyone can get the corresponding year-end bonus according to the completion of the group's target sales for the year, I looked at the company's financial statements for the past three years, this expenditure, the company can fully bear, and the company's annual leave system is adjusted, colleagues who have been in the company for one year can enjoy 10 days of paid annual leave, colleagues who have been in the company for five years can enjoy 15 days of paid annual leave, and colleagues who have been in the company for 10 years can enjoy 20 days of paid annual leaveοΌβ
The current paid annual leave system is not only inhumane, but also the paid annual leave is too small, and compared with those foreign-funded enterprises, the benefits are too competitive.
"Flexible work system?!" Vice President Zhang was a little confused about this, and didn't understand what kind of flexible rules Jiang Nian's so-called flexible work system was.
"Hmm. Jiang Nian nodded, glanced at Shen Tingnan, who was looking at her seriously, and then looked at Vice President Zhang, and explained specifically, "The working hours of a day are 8 hours unchanged, but the time to clock in can be from 7:30 to 9:30 at any time, and the time to get off work is from 4:30 to 6:30 in the afternoon, so that everyone can adjust the time of work according to everyone's needs, and no longer have to worry about being punished for being late or making the boss unhappy." β
"This ......." Vice President Zhang frowned and hesitated for a moment after listening to Jiang Nian's words, and then nodded in agreement, "Well, it is indeed very humane, if you do this, I believe that every employee will be very happy, and will work more confidently and harder for the company, instead of using Shen as a springboard, resulting in the loss of many outstanding talents." β
"Well, I also think Ah Nian's proposal is great, I very much agree, since Vice President Zhang has no opinion, then let the human resources department draw up a document, after the procurement rebate is handled, release the good news to the whole company, and implement it according to the new system. Shen Tingnan also nodded and immediately made a decision.
Vice President Zhang nodded, "Okay, Mr. Shen, I'll let someone do it immediately." β
"Okay, hard work Vice President Zhang. β
"It should. Vice President Zhang nodded and said, "If there's nothing to do, then I'll go and get busy first." β
"Hmm. Shen Tingnan bowed, watched Vice President Zhang go out, and then, looking at Jiang Nian, his excitement was not hidden at all, "Ah Nian, the annual leave system and the flexible work system, how did you come up with it?"
Jiang Nian glanced at him, "It's not that I thought of it, I just refer to the practices of some excellent foreign companies, since every boss wants employees to take the enterprise as their home, then, the boss must first provide a corporate environment like home, although it may not be enough now, but we can slowly continue to improve." β
Shen Tingnan nodded and smiled, "Well, with you, we will definitely be able to do it soon." β
Jiang Nian glanced at him again, and moved a stack of documents in front of him, "Mr. Shen, come on, the Shen family is not relying on me, it's you." β
Shen Tingnan, "......."
..............
The full and busy time always flies, and before you know it, it is six o'clock in the afternoon, the time for the company to get off work.
Others can get off work, but Jiang Nian and Shen Tingnan can't get off work on time, there are still too many things waiting for them to do, and tomorrow Jiang Nian and Shen Tingnan will go to Shen's own factory to learn about the specific production situation and comfort the workshop workers, so many things must be dealt with today.
However, a few minutes after six o'clock in the afternoon, Jiang Nian's mobile phone rang, I just thought it was a matter of work, but when I saw it, it was Zhou Yibai calling.
Staring at the mobile phone screen, Jiang Nian hesitated for a while, but still connected the phone and said "hey" lightly.
"Come back for dinner in the evening, I'll wait for you. β
Listening to Zhou Yibai's low and gentle voice, Jiang Nian's eyebrows frowned slightly, and he refused directly, "No, I still have a lot to do, you can eat it yourself." β
"I'll wait for you. On the other end of the phone, Zhou Yibai sat in the car and repeated these three words.
"No, hang up. Jiang Nian was very busy, and she didn't want to entangle with Zhou Yibai too much, so she hung up the phone directly after leaving these four words, and then continued to be busy.
Unconsciously, she was busy until almost eight o'clock in the evening, and if it weren't for Shen Tingnan coming in with dinner, she would have completely forgotten the time.
Jiang Nian's office is the original Ji Huiran's office, next door to Shen Tingnan's office, and there is even a door in the middle that can be communicated.
The two of them chatted while eating, and after eating, they continued to be busy, until they were busy until almost ten o'clock in the evening, when Shen Tingnan came to urge Jiang Nian to get off work.
"When I go to the factory tomorrow, I will walk a lot, so remember to wear a pair of comfortable shoes. The two of them left the office and entered the elevator, Shen Tingnan looked at Jiang Nian, who was wearing a pair of high heels on his feet and dressed in a simple and atmospheric OL outfit, his eyes were gentle, and he reminded her with a smile.
Jiang Nian is tall and thin, but the place where there should be meat is not small at all, so no matter what she wears, she looks good, a typical hanger figure.
At this moment, she was wearing five or six centimeter high heels on her feet, which were just high enough for Shen Tingnan's ears, and Shen Tingnan could kiss her forehead as long as she leaned over slightly.
Jiang Nian was thinking about the problem, and when he heard this, he let out a faint "um", and then there was no other reaction.
"Then I'll pick you up downstairs at the Yinling Mansion tomorrow. Looking at Jiang Nian, Shen Tingnan said softly.
Shen's own factories have several of them, one of which is in N City, next door to Dongning City, which is about two and a half hours away by car.
"Hmm. Faintly, Jiang Nian answered again.
"What are you thinking?" Seeing that Jiang Nian was thinking about the problem, Shen Tingnan reached over, rubbed her short hair, and asked with great indulgence.
"The thesis thing. Jiang Nian looked at him sideways, thought of something, and asked, "By the way, what are you going to do with your studies, do you suspend your studies first, and then continue to complete your studies when you are familiar with everything about the Shen family, or drop out directly?"
Shen Tingnan looked at Jiang Nian, slightly twisted his handsome brows and thought about it, and replied, "Let's take a year off from school first, and then make specific plans after a year." β
"Well, that's fine. β
"Dingdong ......."
At this moment, the elevator sounded softly, and when they reached the first floor, the two of them got out of the elevator together, and when they walked to the gate, the driver was already waiting there.
"I'll give it to you. β
"No, I like to walk around on my own. β
"Then I'll walk with you. Shen Tingnan insisted.
Jiang Nian smiled, shook his head and said, "I face you for more than ten hours a day, can't you let me go now?"
"......." looked at Jiang Nian, who was smiling so brightly and cleanly, Shen Tingnan suddenly lost his mind.
"Let's go, see you tomorrow. Shen Tingnan lost his mind, Jiang Nian patted him on the shoulder, and then, while waving his hand, he strode in the direction of his apartment.
Shen Tingnan came back to his senses, turned around, and his eyes gently locked on her delicate back, until, her figure completely disappeared into the crowd, and then he got into the car and returned to the Shen family's villa.
..............
Shuttling through the various crowds of people in the night, walking home, Jiang Nian likes this way very much, but when she returns to the apartment, presses the combination lock to open the apartment door, and looks up to see the man sitting at the dining table, as well as the four dishes and one soup that have already cooled on the table, her good mood is completely gone.
She didn't know who made the four dishes and one soup on the table that no one had touched, and she didn't want to know, and she didn't care about what Zhou Yibai was doing sitting at the table, she just didn't say anything, and even when she saw the scene in front of her, she didn't even have a trace of emotional fluctuations, she just entered the house, closed the door, and then, changed her shoes, and went directly to the direction of the bedroom.
"I said, I'll wait for you. Just as Jiang Nian turned around to walk to the bedroom, Zhou Yibai, who had been sitting quietly at the dining table, looked at her and spoke lowly.
Jiang Nian listened, frowned slightly, stopped, and then raised his eyes to look at him, and said lightly, "I also said, no." β
Zhou Yibai closed his eyes, took a deep breath, suppressed all the anger and annoyance in his chest, looked at Jiang Nian again, and said in a low voice, "Then you sit down and eat with me." β
"I'm sorry, I've eaten it, you eat slowly. When the words fell, Jiang Nian stepped forward to leave again.
"And Shen Tingnan?" asked Zhou Yibai again.
Jiang Nian stopped again, nodded and said lightly, "You eat slowly, I'll go back to the room." β
She still has a thesis to write, and there is really no time to waste.
After speaking, she didn't stop any longer, directly raised her legs, entered the room, and then gently closed the door.
Zhou Yibai was still sitting at the dining table, listening to the ruthless sound of the door closing, and a wave of anger gradually poured out from all over his body.......
.......
