Chapter 37: Recurrence
Inside the villa, the floor is soaked with water, and the renovation workers are busy scooping water and wiping the floor.
Ye Yanran's brows couldn't help but tighten.
Shao Jie saw her and said, "Don't worry, I will send more people to deal with it as soon as possible to ensure that it will not affect the construction period." β
A worker shook his head and said: "I was finally busy until one o'clock at noon to lay this floor, who would have thought that the water pipe valve of the toilet would suddenly crack, and come back like this." β
Ye Yanran always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't say anything wrong.
Shao Jie said: "It's my responsibility, if I leave someone to guard, it won't cause such serious consequences." β
The worker next to him came over and interjected: "You can't blame the boss for this, we usually eat in two batches." During this time, everyone has been rushing to work, very hard, and finally at noon today, it is over, and they are all shouting for the boss to have a treat, so everyone goes out for a meal together. Who would have thought that German valves would also have such problems. β
Another worker who was a little older followed: "This jade sandalwood floor is not afraid of water, and we don't go out for more than an hour, so we can find it in time, and we will clean the water for a while, wipe the floor clean, and dry it." Rest assured, it will never bulge and mold. β
Ye Yanran immediately retorted: "No, no customer will accept that their new house has been soaked in water before they have even moved in. β
Not to mention that this is the project she plans to use as a demonstration unit on "Yaju", which is usually the smallest home project, and she also has an almost harsh obsession with quality requirements.
"If you don't say it, if I don't say it, how will the customer know. The older worker muttered quietly.
Shao Jie stopped him in time, "Uncle He, you go over there and see how they are doing." As for what to do with the floor, we listen to Miss Ye. β
The worker answered and left in a huff.
In fact, the worker is right, the jade sandalwood floor is more resistant to moisture and corrosion than the general solid wood floor, and in the current situation, there will never be quality problems such as deformation, and the construction period is so tight, if Ye Yanran chooses to dry the floor, it is understandable.
But based on Shao Jie's observation of Ye Yanran, she is a person who strives for perfection and has high requirements for others and herself, which is why he called her.
Now that her thoughts have been confirmed, Shao Jie said again: "Miss Ye, you can rest assured that I will take full responsibility for this matter, order a new batch of floors according to your requirements, and then send more people to rush to ensure that it will not affect your progress." β
"I'm not worried about your construction capacity, money is not the most important thing, the problem now is that this batch of jade sandalwood is ordered by me from Thailand, there is no agent in J City, the shortest order cycle there is fifteen days, plus the time of transportation, the progress must be too late. β
"Or I can try to transfer a batch for you from Hong Kong. At this moment, Ah Wei turned out of nowhere, fiddling with a broken valve in his hand.
"Really?" Ye Yanran looked happy.
Ah Wei threw the valve in his hand one by one, and played with it in his hand, "But I suggest you pay more attention to the people around you! This is not an accident at all. I'm now more convinced that what you experienced last night wasn't a coincidence. β
As he spoke, he threw the valve to Shao Jie and turned around to call his friends in Hong Kong.
Hearing that Ye Yanran had an accident, and then looking at her slightly swollen face, Shao Jie still had the heart to care about the valve, and asked anxiously: "What happened to you last night, what happened?"
"It's nothing, I met a rogue driver and he was the one who saved me. We just came out of the police station when you called. Ye Yanran explained lightly, reaching out and taking the valve, there were indeed traces of damage by tools.
"What do you think of this?" she handed the valve back to Shao Jie.
Shao Jie stared at her worriedly, if something so big happened, other women would have been frightened, but she was only thinking about work.
"Has anyone been here in the past two days?" she continued.
"A man and a woman came the day before yesterday, saying that it was your assistant to see the progress of the construction. After going back and forth for half an hour, he left without saying anything. β
Ye Yanran took out her mobile phone and opened the photo of Cheng Xin's WeChat circle of friends to show Shao Jie, "Is it her?"
"That's right, it's her, followed by a young man with glasses. β
No need to ask, that is Cheng Xin's assistant Tian Han. It seems that they know that they have changed the original design, and that the progress is faster than they expected, so they can't help but do it.
"What about today? Have you ever been here again?"
Shao Jie shook his head and said, "No, no one has been here today." β
Ah Wei came back from the phone call and said idly: "Why do you have to do this kind of thing yourself? It's all done with a little money. β
Shao Jie shook his head and said, "All my people have been following me for a few years, so they shouldn't do this kind of thing." β
Ah Wei smiled: "Then you have to see how much money, the money is in place, and the black can turn white." β
Shao Jie wanted to say something, but Ye Yanran stretched out her hand to stop the argument between the two, and turned her head to ask Ah Wei: "Has the floor been ordered, and when will it arrive?"
"Okay, this afternoon delivery, by air, the latest day after tomorrow will arrive. β
"Great, Team Shao, the construction matter is still bothering you. β
"Don't worry! I'll have them pry the floor off and get ready. Shao Jie looked at her, "You also have to pay attention to safety, no matter how important your work is, it is not as important as you." β
"Okay, I got it. β
Ye Yanran looked around again at the overall construction progress, because she wanted to create the illusion that the construction had not yet been built to Cheng Xin, she had not come to follow up, but now it seems that Shao Jie's construction team is meticulous in workmanship, and the construction progress is fast, which is better than Shang Cheng's own engineering team, Su Yan really didn't introduce the wrong person.
At the same time, Ah Wei didn't seem to be idle, walking east and west in the villa, and when he left, he muttered mysteriously in Shao Jie's ear for a while.
On the way back, Ah Wei parked the car in front of a cafΓ© and said, "Miss lunch, you can't miss afternoon tea at 3:3, right?"
As soon as he said this, Ye Yanran woke up and asked Ah Wei to run around with her, and she didn't even eat lunch, so she couldn't help but be a little surprised, "I know a Hong Kong-style restaurant, and the meal for afternoon tea is not bad, why don't I invite you to eat that?"
Ah Wei smiled: "I'm from Hong Kong, and I can tell you responsibly that there is no formal Hong Kong-style food in J City, but this soufflΓ© is the best I've ever eaten, and it's even better than the one in the Long Island Hotel." β
"Okay! β
In the cafΓ©, the two of them each ordered a light meal and a soufflΓ© dessert and coffee recommended by Ah Wei.
While waiting for the meal, Ye Yanran said: "I didn't see that you also have research on desserts, I always thought that desserts were women's patents." β
"Perhaps, I'm an unusual man?" said the strange laugh.
"You're really from Hong Kong?"
Except for the first time in the bar, Ah Wei speaks a very distinctive Gangpu, and now his Mandarin also sounds with some accents, but it is very inconspicuous. Ye Yanran naturally regarded his original words as a kind of joke when accosting.
"Of course, I admit that I had a little pompous experience at the bar, but it's basically true. I'm working for a friend's company now, and I also have a stake in that company. β
Ah Wei raised his eyebrows playfully, "You don't think I'm the kind of guy who cheats women out of money, right? I can show you my ID card, I really came from Hong Kong to work." β
Saying that, he really went to dig for the ID card in his pocket.
Now Ziye Yanran was embarrassed, "Don't get me wrong, I'll just say casually, I don't mean anything else." Half-truths are common for bars to say on that occasion. I know you're a good person, but you're still my savior?"
"Don't talk about it, I'm embarrassed. As long as you don't take me for a liar. β
Ye Yanran hesitated for a moment, thinking that she should still tell him about the morning at the police station.
She reminded implicitly, "I feel that Officer Li seems to have misunderstood you. β
Monster shrugged, "He thinks I'm in the wrong place at the wrong time!"
"I'm so grateful to be there!"
"You're lucky to have me. Usually there isn't a ghost over there. β
"Why are you going?"
This is also a question asked by the police to Ah Monster.
"I was driving and accidentally passing by somewhere, and I had already driven past, but thinking that the taxi was driving a little strangely, I turned around and went back. Speaking of which, you saved yourself. β
"No, if you don't show up somewhere, I can't do anything more. Thinking about it this way, I'm quite lucky to meet you in such a remote place. β
Monster didn't want to talk too much about why he was in a certain location.
He smiled and changed the subject: "What happened just now, since you know who is behind it, how are you going to fight back?"
Ye Yanran smiled lightly, "I didn't plan to fight back." β
Ah Wei was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, "Because of disdain?"
"There's a reason for that. Instead of entangled with her in the side of things, it is better to do your own things seriously. β
"But you are pampering her, and she may go even further in the future. How can you be beaten all the time?"
"As long as I have enough strength, no matter what she does, she can't help me, and she will naturally stop at that time. β
Ah Wei flattened his mouth, he had never seen someone's way of survival in the workplace like this, after thinking about it, he still persuaded without giving up: "I still think you shouldn't tolerate her, you don't have to worry about no evidence, I can help you find evidence, in short, you should teach her a lesson for such a person." "Speaking of which, he can be considered a professional when it comes to finding evidence.
"There's no need for that, the company is not a courtroom, it doesn't need evidence, and sometimes the merits are not that important. β
Ah Wei looked at her suspiciously, not quite understanding the meaning of this.
"Cheng Xin is a good designer, and the team she leads has a good performance, and the company needs such people. If I have evidence and I have to give me an explanation, the boss will always be very embarrassed, and he will complain in his heart that I don't know the general situation.
Because he neither wants to deal with Cheng Xin, nor does he want me to leave because of his inaction. At this point, the more conclusive the evidence I provide, the less room there is for him, so why bother?"
"I didn't expect you to see things go so deeply. Businessmen are profit-oriented, and sometimes right and wrong really don't matter that much. But I think it's still necessary to punish small punishments and big precepts. β
Ye Yanran smiled self-deprecatingly: "Forget it, I'm in trouble now." She, I really don't have time to pay attention. β
"Regarding yesterday's incident, what do you think, will there be a mastermind behind it, looking at the cautious attitude of the police, I think they are also suspicious. β
"Officer Li does mean this, but I really don't have a clue, anyone with a small grudge will have some, but it won't break the law for this little grudge, right?"
"First of all, you have to understand that most criminals have the problem of paranoia, and you can't use normal people's thinking to speculate about their behavior. Again, be careful of the people around you. 80% of crimes are committed by acquaintances. β
"When you say that, I really feel a little hairy in my heart. β
Ah Wei took out something from his pocket and handed it to her, a thin one, a little like a small flashlight, "This is for your self-defense." β
He pointed to the red button on it and said: "If you press here, it will release the current instantly, this I have modified, it is stronger than the current released by the ordinary wolf guard, and it is guaranteed to knock down the other party and buy you enough time to escape." You can try. β
Ye Yanran pressed the red button as Ah Wei said, and suddenly made a crackling sound of direct hit current, which frightened her.
Looking at the panic on her face like a girl, Ah Wei felt that it was even cuter than her usual calm and cold appearance.
"Rest assured, I'm well regulated, and it's definitely not fatal. β
Then Ah Wei taught her to identify a few acupuncture points in the human body that were convenient for sneak attacks.
"Thank you. Ye Yanran put the wolf guard into her bag.
Ah Wei smiled: "Everyone else sends you flowers, only the things I send are so chic, you should be impressed by me, right?"
"How can you not be impressed?"
If it was in the face of other women, Ah Wei would definitely say, then it is better to repay me with a personal promise! However, in the face of Ye Yanran, he was a little afraid to do so, lest his frivolity surprise her.
When the words came to his lips, it became, "Don't always talk about this little thing." β
......
When Ye Yanran returned home, it was already more than four o'clock in the afternoon, and when she opened the door, she saw Ji Yufan lying on the table asleep, with four dishes and one soup on the table.
When Ji Yufan heard the movement, he raised his head, saw Ye Yanran, and said in a daze: "Why did you come back?" Is there any new development in the case?"
Ye Yanran didn't want to tell him about the police's suspicions, on the one hand, she didn't want him to worry, and on the other hand, she didn't believe that any enemies would use this method to harm her.
"No, there was something wrong with the project at the beautiful villa, I rushed over to take a look, and it was too late. β
"You workaholic, are you hungry? I'm going to get the food hot and I'll be ready to eat it right away. β
She was embarrassed to say that she had already eaten outside, and this was the second time he had cooked and waited for her.
Ye Yanran had to sit down and accompany Ji Yufan to eat again.
At the dining table, Ji Yufan kept chattering with vegetables for her, asking her to try this dish and try that dish again, so she ate again without surprise.
However, to be honest, Ji Yufan's cooking skills are good, and there are few boys who do housework so well like him.
According to his own words, it was because he had been living with his grandmother when he was a child, and his grandmother was old and couldn't do many things, so he started to help with housework early, and when he did more, he naturally became proficient.
His words made Ye Yanran resonate a lot, although the two had different experiences, she also started doing housework at a very young age, and she started to do all the big and small things at home at the age of ten.
Speaking of the past of living with his grandmother, Ji Yufan's eyes gradually turned red.
"Grandma is gone, as if there is no other relative who loves me as unreservedly as she does. β
His words made her heart tighten, "What about your parents?"
"Them?" Ji Yufan snorted coldly, "Don't mention it." β
His words touched Ye Yanran again, didn't she have a pair of parents that she didn't want to mention in a word?
Her hand was naturally on his, and no one knew this truth better than she did at the moment. Didn't she want someone to give her such silent comfort when she was tired and lost?
His hand was on her back, rubbing against the back of her hand, and neither of them spoke. But Ye Yanran could feel that at this moment, their hearts were very close.
This kind of proximity does not make her nervous and uncomfortable, but feels very comfortable.
The sudden ringing of the phone broke the silence between the two.
The phone was opened by Shao Jie.
"Miss Ye, the tiles in the bathroom just arrived, and when I received the goods, I found that these tiles were different from what you said at the beginning. I remember you said that you would use ceramic tiles imported from Spain to highlight the texture and layer, but now you have received them from Foshan, China.
Although the brands are the same, the price difference is half. I double-checked the manifest and the model was correct. As an excret, I'd like to check with you again, have you changed the original design?"
"No, no, I ordered imported tiles from Spain. β
"But now the item number shown on the order is the ceramic tile produced by the domestic production line. Is there something wrong with your company in the ordering process?"
"In this way, don't move this batch of tiles first, I'll go back to the company to understand the situation, and we'll contact you again." β
Ye Yanran finished talking to Shao Jie on the phone, and when she turned around, she saw Ji Yufan holding the car keys, ready to stand behind her.
"Let's go, I'll send you back to the company, workaholic!"
In the open office room, Fang Yi saw Ye Yanran, who had disappeared for a day, her eyes dodged, and her expression was a little panicked.
Cheng Xin walked up to her and said in a weird manner: "Team Leader Ye, if you don't see you for this day, shouldn't there be something big on the construction site that can't be solved?" β
Ye Yanran glanced at her coldly, and swept sideways past her.
Cheng Xin still refused to stop and grabbed her and said, "Yo, Team Leader Ye, what's wrong with your face?
As he spoke, he burst out laughing.
Ye Yanran knew that she was smug about running water on the construction site, but she didn't bother to demolish her, it was boring to fight this kind of verbal fight, and let her go proudly! People are easy to get carried away when they are proud, and they will inevitably make mistakes if they forget their shape.
In the office, Ye Yanran found the original list of materials for the beautiful villa, checked it with the company's material inventory, and she did not fill in the number of 3301B tiles incorrectly. So what's wrong?
She took the bottom sheet and went to the main material department.
"Xiao Huang, you help me check, the order for bathroom tiles for the beautiful villa, I remember that I ordered the Spanish imported model, but the scene received the domestic self-produced model of the same brand. β
Xiao Huang is an assistant clerk in the main materials department, her main job is to place orders, usually facing the computer, with a high degree of myopia, looking quiet with a little timidity.
Ye Yanran usually doesn't have much contact with her, and Tang Fei is generally responsible for placing orders in the main materials department.
Xiao Huang checked on the computer, pushed his glasses and stood up, "Sister Yanran, I checked, you ordered the 3301E domestic model." β
"Isn't 3301E?isn't it 01B?" Ye Yanran looked at her bottom list again.
Xiao Huang took out the order sent by Tang Fei from the folder and showed it to Ye Yanran, "Look, the order I received is 3301E." β
Ye Yanran stroked her forehead, Tang Fei saw the handwritten B as E when she printed the order, and she didn't even review it when she made a mistake in her busy life, so she signed the material list.
"Xiao Huang, if I place an order for 3301B tiles now, how long will it take to arrive at the earliest?"
"If you import money, it will take at least half a month to buy from Spain. β
"Is there a way to hurry up, my side of the construction site is waiting to start?"
Xiao Huang pushed his glasses and said embarrassedly: "Half a month is already the most optimistic estimate, no matter how fast it is, I'm afraid it won't work." β
"What's wrong?" asked Zheng Ke, the director of the main materials department, as he walked out of the office.
Zheng Ke is forty and eight this year, about the same age as her master Xie Minglang, basically an old employee who entered Shangcheng at the same time, and has been in a state of no merit for many years.
"Oh, it was my negligence that didn't come out of the order. Ye Yanran took the initiative to explain, basically taking the responsibility on herself.
Xiao Huang was obviously relieved, and if someone else had changed, she might have to mess around and unload the pot on her.
Zheng Ke picked up the material sheet in Xiao Huang's hand and glanced at it and said, "Is the number of bathroom tiles wrong?"
Ye Yanran looked at him in surprise, he didn't say it, Xiao Huang didn't mention it, could it be that he had a good ear, and he heard what they just said while sitting in the office?
"You want imported materials for the whole material, only the bathroom tile wants domestic products, it's not that it's wrong?"
"It's still Zheng Bu, your eyes are like this, and you can see it at a glance. Ye Yanran said with a smile: "Zheng Bu, you see that if I place a new order for this batch of goods now, is there any way to shorten the delivery cycle, the construction period on my side is very tight." Of course, all the losses are mine, and you can let Xiao Huang notify me how much money will come back. β
Zheng Ke looked Ye Yanran up and down and said, "It's easy for you designers to make money?"
οΌοΌ
Ye Yanran looked at Zheng Ke in amazement, not knowing what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd.
How much money do you have to compensate? This time it is a little domestic bathroom tile, but the left is not more than 10,000 yuan, what about next time? If you make a mistake in some luxury and large items next time, hundreds of thousands of millions, you will also pay?"
"......" Ye Yanran could hear that Zheng Ke was going to help herself, she would not be stupid enough to speak at this time, hanging her head cowardly and silent.
"I like to take everything from myself, is this your business alone? The order was made by your assistant, right? Is she not responsible? Xiaohuang is not responsible at all? The whole list is imported materials, just such a different one, don't you feel strange when ordering? If you can be more responsible, verify again, won't there be no mistakes?"
Ye Yanran saw that Xiao Huang was also implicated, so she couldn't stop talking, "How to say it, I was too careless when I reviewed the order, and I signed it without seeing it clearly, and Xiao Huang did nothing wrong when she ordered the order." I am mainly responsible for this matter, Zheng Bu, how do you think this matter can be resolved?"
Zheng Ke glared at Xiao Huang and said, "Inaction is also a mistake. Go and call all the tile agents to see who has this model in stock. I don't even have a brain at all!"
Xiao Huang agreed and went through the agent's phone.
Zheng Ke turned his gaze to Ye Yanran and said, "Don't worry about this, you will receive the goods the day after tomorrow at the latest." As for the wrong batch you ordered, you can find someone to find a car to transport it back to the company's temporary turnover warehouse, and give you a month to use it in other projects. β
Ye Yanran thanked her and agreed.
Zheng Ke said with a stiff face: "You are the same, use your brains to do things, don't think that I am very responsible for it, stupid!"
"Yes, Zheng Bu, you have been educated correctly, and I will definitely learn more from you in the future. β
Zheng Ke said Ye Yanran didn't think that there was a project below her that could digest this batch of domestic tiles, but this kind of words, from her mouth, and from Zheng Ke's mouth, those are two completely different effects.
"Come to my office, I happen to have something to do with you. β
In the office, Zheng Ke sat on a wide leather chair and looked at Ye Yanran standing at the desk with sharp eyes.
"Sit down! Don't stand stupidly. β
Ye Yanran pulled out the swivel chair in front of the desk and sat down, except for the monthly company meeting between her and Zheng Ke, it can be said that there is no intersection, let alone friendship. This time he helped himself so much, whether there would be another quid pro quo, she didn't know, so she behaved very cautiously.
"I heard Mr. Ou say that the cooperation with Dongsheng Building Materials will be handed over to you. How's it going, what's the stage now?"
Ye Yanran secretly speculated about Zheng Ke's intention in asking this, shook her head slightly, and said, "It may be hard for you to find a partner again." β
"You kids, how can you let your emotional problems get the better of your work?"
Faced with such a serious accusation, Ye Yanran could only bow her head and listen.
"Do you know how much impact the termination of this cooperation has had on Shangcheng?"
ββ¦β¦β
Zheng Ke sighed and said: "Actually, the other main materials are easy to say, and it is not a big problem to find other dealers, and the reason why Dongsheng is so important to Shangcheng now is entirely because the exclusive agency of the special-shaped air purification outlet is in his hands." Don't look at the tuyere, this thing is not big, but there is only one in the country that does this kind of special-shaped tuyere, and it also gave Dongsheng an agency. It's tricky!"
"......" Ye Yanran can only continue to remain calm, no matter how important this cooperation is to the company, she cannot sacrifice her personal happiness. However, this matter cannot be successfully resolved, and it is difficult for her to develop in the company and even in the entire industry.
This exclusive agent is in Wei Xiaodong's hands for a day, and as long as he is willing, he can rely on it to block himself in the whole bank.
Coming out of Zheng Ke's office, Ye Yanran called Shao Jie and asked him to help send the tiles back to Shang Cheng's warehouse, and re-studied the progress of the site. After arranging all this, she made herself a cup of tea, calmed down and seriously thought about the major problems she was currently facing.
After thinking about it, she found that neither the trouble caused by Cheng Xin nor the problems existing at work caused a series of problems and troubles by Wei Xiaodong.
Wei Xiaodong is the crux of making her life a mess, she decided that she could no longer be led by his nose, she wanted to cut through the mess quickly.
Downstairs in the company, Ji Yufan's car was still parked on the side of the road, and the window was half lowered.
Ye Yanran walked over and saw him playing a game with his mobile phone, and he was still saying words in his mouth, "Kill!", "Let you see Lao Tzu's new skills!" and the like.
She turned, opened the passenger door, and sat in.
Ji Yufan raised his head at this time, "Are you done?"
"You'll talk about it when you're done with it. β
Ji Yufan squinted his eyes and smiled, and continued to bury his head in the fight.
"What are you thinking?"
Ye Yanran suddenly came back to her senses, "Oh, the game is over?"
"It's been a while since the fight, you've been distracted, is it tricky?" He knew that Ye Yanran came to the company with the injury on his face because of an emergency at work.
Ye Yanran shook her head and said, "It's nothing, the assistant placed the wrong order by mistake, and it has been solved." β
"Why is your assistant so sloppy?"
"It's not all her responsibility, I didn't audit it, and I'm also responsible. It's been too busy lately. Ye Yanran pinched the bridge of her nose tiredly and sighed: "It's time for me to apply to the personnel department to recruit another assistant." β
Ji Yufan's eyes flashed thoughtfully, and then said, "Go home directly?"
"No, you can go somewhere with me!" Ye Yanran told him the address of Wei Xiaodong's apartment.
This is a newly built high-rise residential area, close to the main business district and education district of J City, and surrounded by complete supporting facilities, which is popular with middle-class people and high-end white-collar workers.
Ji Yufan parked the car in the community and looked up at the towering building, "This is your wedding room?"
"It used to be. Pay attention to the tenses!" Ye Yanran opened the car door, "Wait for me here, I'll get down immediately." β
"I'll go with you!" Ji Yufan followed her out of the car.
"I packed my bags and came down. β
"Just right, I have the strength to help you move. Saying that, Ji Yufan also bent his arms and patted his strong biceps.
Ye Yanran couldn't let him follow.
Wei Xiaodong was not at home, which Ye Yanran expected, she went directly into the bedroom to open the wardrobe, and took out her clothes and put them in the suitcase.
After Ji Yufan walked around, he leaned against the door of the bedroom to watch Ye Yanran pack his luggage.
He looked at the rich dΓ©cor in the bedroom, "You designed this too?"
"No, he found someone to set it up. β
When the house came down, she was following up on two big projects at the same time, and she didn't have time with Ben, Wei Xiaodong was making decoration materials, and she knew many big-name designers in the industry, so it was natural to find someone to decorate and arrange according to his ideas.
She could almost be said to have moved in with her bags, although it was not her favorite style, but considering that she didn't contribute from beginning to end, she didn't say anything.
Ji Yufan pouted, nodded, and said leisurely: "I said why is it so bad/taste!"
Ye Yanran put the last two pairs of shoes in and closed the suitcase.
"Just something?"
"There are also a few professional books in the study. I'll get it. β
Ji Yufan pouted to Nunu on the bed, "You won't take that away?"
He was referring to a red tulle suspender nightdress, which Ye Yanran saw as soon as she came in.
"That's not mine. β
Ji Yufan looked at her cautiously, "Are you okay?"
"It's okay, you wait for me, I'll go get the book. β
In the study, Ye Yanran put her limited few books into a bag, looked around, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart, she had lived here for nearly a year, and there were not many traces of her life. She came and went like a passer-by in a hurry, carrying a suitcase.
Just as he was about to put down the key and leave, Wei Xiaodong opened the door and came in, saw Ye Yanran and Ji Yufan, and sneered: "You brought such a little boy over, are you planning to take revenge on me?"
"I'm not as boring as you, I'll come back and get my stuff. I put the key on the table in the living room, Wei Xiaodong and the two of us will be separated from each other from now on. Ye Yanran took her luggage and walked out.
"I'm afraid what you want is for everyone to be happy, right?" Wei Xiaodong grabbed her arm head-on, "But I'm not happy, what should I do?" Ye Yanran, you make me unhappy, don't you want to be happy, do you hear?"
His hand was very strong, Ye Yanran struggled a few times, but didn't break away, "Wei Xiaodong, you let go!"
"It's not that easy!" Wei Xiaodong's words were a pun.
"Let it go!
Ji Yufan couldn't stand it anymore, and kept clenching his hands into fists and trying to restrain himself, trying to let Ye Yanran deal with it herself, but as soon as she cried out in pain, he couldn't hold back anymore and strode over, "You let go of her!"
Wei Xiaodong is 178 tall, thin, and has always been a Confucian businessman, and he has done a lot of things planned in secret, and he is not good at head-on conflicts.
When Ji Yufan rushed towards an angry calf, he naturally let go of his hand and said coldly: "Your little concubine can't stand it anymore! But the two of us have done a lot of more intimate things, what should we do? Do you want me to share with you where her sensitive points are?"
"Shut up!"
"Shameless!"
Ye Yanran and Ji Yufan roared out almost at the same time.
At the same time, Ji Yufan's fist also raised.
Wei Xiaodong had already prepared, took a few steps back, and sneered: "You can think about it, as long as you dare to touch me, I will sue you for trespassing on people's houses with the intention of hurting people." β
Ye Yanran also grabbed Ji Yufan, "Don't be impulsive!"
Wei Xiaodong said coldly: "Ye Yanran, this is a matter between you and me, I advise you to let your little concubine avoid it, let's talk about it." β
"I don't have anything to do with you anymore, we don't have anything to talk about. Ye Yanran pulled the suitcase and walked past him.
Wei Xiaodong said lightly: "I don't want to sign the cooperation agreement with Dongsheng?"
Ye Yanran paused, she hesitated a little, although Wei Xiaodong is not a big man who covers the sky with one hand, but with the exclusive agency of the special-shaped tuyere in his hand, it is easy to ban a non-famous interior designer like her.
She looked back, "What the hell do you want?"
"Let him go out first, and we'll sit down and have a good talk. β
Wei Xiaodong walked to the sofa and sat down, folded his legs, and waited idly for Ye Yanran to decide for herself, he was sure that she would not give up this opportunity to negotiate. Years of experience in business have made him very good at catching people's weaknesses and curing life with one move.
Ye Yanran handed over the luggage to Ji Yufan and asked him to wait for him downstairs. Ji Yufan was worried that Wei Xiaodong would hurt her, so she refused to leave alone, and Ye Yanran coaxed him for a long time before letting him leave.
"What are you going to talk to me about?" Ye Yanran sat down opposite Wei Xiaodong, her attitude very guarded.
"What's the hurry, you wait. Wei Xiaodong got up and took out two documents from the study and handed them to her, "You take a good look at them, think carefully before replying to me, this is your last chance." β
Ye Yanran took the document and looked at it, one was the cooperation agreement between Shangcheng and Dongsheng, and the other was a three-year marriage contract agreement.
"What do you mean by that?"
Wei Xiaodong lit a cigarette and said leisurely: "Yanran, when did you become so stupid? Isn't it obvious? If you want to sign the two agreements together, or don't sign them at all, you think about it." β
"You're not without a woman, why do you use this way to persecute me? When things get to this point, we won't be happy when we are together again! You let go! Let me go, and let yourself go!"
"I said I wouldn't let go. β
"Why are you in trouble?"
"This is my question, you just have to think clearly, sign or not. Wei Xiaodong opened the marriage contract and said, "You can see clearly, in fact, you are not at a loss in this matter." We will have the wedding as scheduled, and we don't have to actually register the marriage, and then you only need to play the role of my wife in public and pay me to attend some external occasions, and other times, I will not interfere with you.
At the end of the three-year period, we will announce the divorce, and then you will marry whoever you want. I'll take you three years at most, and you'll be able to keep your business, and maybe I'll be able to help you get to the next level. If you think clearly, this win/win win-win opportunity doesn't always come by. β
"Wei Xiaodong, what are you doing this for? Obviously, the monk Cheng terminated the contract, and you yourself have a loss, why do you want to do such a thing that hurts others and yourself? Obviously you have no feelings for me, can't you let me go?"
"Let you go, let you and your little concubine live together? I'd like to see if he will want you in three years!"
"You're perverted!"
"Say whatever you want. To sign or not to sign, you can figure it out. Wei Xiaodong took out a Parker pen from his pocket and put it on the table as if he was sure that Ye Yanran would definitely sign it, so he waited for Ye Yanran to make a decision.
If it is purely from the perspective of interests, Ye Yanran really seems to have no reason not to sign, but pretending to be a husband and wife for three years, she can gain a firm foothold in the industry, and most of her current troubles can be easily solved.
Is it really possible to be so interest-oriented?
Ye Yanran seemed to think of something, squinting her eyes and looking at Wei Xiaodong, "What is at stake that makes you have to pretend to be husband and wife with me? Women, you don't lack it, just be angry with me, you are not so naΓ―ve, it must be interests. You're a businessman, and the most important thing you value is profit, right?"
Wei Xiaodong smiled lightly, "I'll just say, you are a smart and talented woman." So, you should know what to do?"
He picked up the pen, twisted the cap, and handed it to Ye Yanran, "Happy cooperation!"
