119 Chapter 119
Nanxi was startled by a leg that suddenly stretched out from behind the door, and instinctively took a step back. Lu Zaiyuan took advantage of this opportunity, and squeezed into the house on one side.
The trick succeeded, he stood in the door, smirking at Nanxi: "I knew you must be in the house, I bought you stinky tofu." β
As he spoke, he raised the takeout box in his hand.
Originally, Nanxi was still angry, but seeing him carrying two boxes of stinky tofu so calmly, he felt strange in his heart. She walked up to him, took the takeaway bag, opened the box inside and took a look, and sure enough, it was stinky tofu.
She looked up at him suspiciously.
He pulled her up to the dining table, sat down, opened both boxes of stinky tofu, and placed them on the table. Then he pointed to the chair next to him: "Are you going to eat standing up?" Sit down. β
"You ......" Nan Xi was surprised by his relaxed expression when facing stinky tofu.
Lu Zaiyuan didn't explain, picked up the small plastic fork that came with the store, forked up a piece of stinky tofu, put it in his mouth and ate it.
Nanxi couldn't believe his eyes and grinned: "Can you eat stinky tofu?" When did it start? β
"Last night!" Lu Zaiyuan chewed stinky tofu fragrantly, while watching her happy, "After being kicked out by you, I had nowhere to go, so I wandered around the street, and before I knew it, I walked to the stinky tofu shop." I thought, how can it smell so good? You're so obsessed with this food, if I don't try it, I'll never know how you feel. So I bought one, took a breath and ate a piece, wow! When you put it in your mouth, it doesn't stink, it's salty and delicious! Hehe......"
He looked at Nanxi and laughed silly.
Nanxi rolled his eyes: "If it's delicious, you'll eat it all!" Borrow a place for you to use, and leave as soon as you're done! β
After that, she was going back to the back room.
Lu Zaiyuan dropped the fork and grabbed her hand: "Don't you praise me?" β
Nanxi was almost annoyed by him: "Are you a child?" Do you want to be praised for eating stinky tofu? β
"If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have tried this stinky thing for the rest of my life! Aren't you impressed? Lu Zaiyuan looked like he was asking for merit and reward.
Nanxi shook his hand hard, but he couldn't shake it off, and replied to him angrily: "You're too naΓ―ve, aren't you?" If you really want to talk about it, shouldn't you thank me? Without me, wouldn't you have missed such a human delicacy? β
Lu Zaiyuan thought about it and nodded seriously: "You're right, I should be grateful to you." β
With that, he stood up, bowed his head coldly, and kissed Nanxi's lips.
Nanxi hurriedly avoided him: "What are you doing?" Stay away from me! β
"Didn't you say I should thank you? I would like to express my sincerest gratitude to you with practical actions, right? Lu Zaiyuan spoke, and lowered his head to reach her lips.
Nan Xi raised his hand and pushed his face away: "Curly hair!" I'm warning you! Don't pretend to be a scoundrel! β
Lu Zaiyuan shrugged: "I'm not pretending to be a scoundrel, I'm a real scoundrel!" If you annoy me, let me kiss it, and I won't bother you. β
"You ......" Nanxi was so angry with him that he couldn't speak.
Lu Zaiyuan looked at her puffing out, laughed happily, and sighed: "It's so good! It's the first time I've been so happy these days, and I'm so happy to be able to argue with you! β
"Cheap!" Nanxi glanced at him again.
He didn't care, pressed Nanxi to the chair and sat down, and said, "I am willing to make a mistake with my wife!" Eat it quickly, eat it while it's hot, one for each of us, I can eat stinky tofu, and I can accompany you to the store to eat it in the future. β
Hearing what he said, Nanxi was sad for a while and fell silent.
Seeing that she refused to eat it, Lu Zaiyuan picked up a piece of stinky tofu and sent it to her mouth: "Okay, you're sick and squeamish, I'll feed you." β
Nanxi refused to open his mouth to answer, his head tilted to the side, and tears fell.
She quickly stood up, turned her head and ran to the living room, hiding her gaffe: "You can eat by yourself, and leave when you are ready." β
She ran to the living room, sat on the couch, turned on the TV, and pretended to watch TV.
Lu Zaiyuan heard the fluctuations in her voice, put down the fork in his hand, and looked back at her, feeling bad in his heart. His fake high failed to ease the embarrassment between the two men, and the atmosphere in the room froze.
At this time, a voice floated out of the TV: "Here's an exclusive report." Last night, our reporter met Mr. Lu Zaiyuan, the president of Zhimei Advertising, outside the door of a snack bar, and it is rumored that he is related to the infighting incident in the home of Mr. Zhao Liangmao, chairman of Zhao's Entertainment a few days ago, and it is reported that he is the illegitimate son of Mr. Pei Tianming, the son-in-law of Zhao Liangmao, the chairman and president of Tianming Logistics, but Mr. Pei denied the idea of an illegitimate child in an interview. But last night, our reporter photographed Mr. Lu Zaiyuan driving a silver-gray sports car, and after verification, the owner of the car was Pei Tianming, so can we guess that in fact, Lu Zaiyuan never left the city at all, but hid under Mr. Pei Tianming's arrangement? What exactly is their relationship? This morning, our reporter contacted Mr. Pei Tianming's assistant, but did not receive a clear answer, and we will continue to pay attention to this matter......"
When Lu Zaiyuan heard his name, he got up and ran to the TV.
The picture on the TV is exactly the scene when he stopped outside the snack bar yesterday in a daze, was recognized by reporters, and chased after him to take pictures and ask questions.
He sat down on the couch and read the report quietly, leaning back in his distraction.
After Nanxi watched the news, he turned off the TV and turned his head to look at the road beside him: "It seems that you and Pei Tianming have already recognized each other as father and son, right?" β
Lu Zaiyuan didn't want to lie to her, so he nodded.
"That's amazing! How the hell do you do that? Nanxi looked at him mockingly.
"I ...... I'll explain this to you later. Lu Zaiyuan didn't dare to tell Nanxi what happened in South Korea, so he could only be vague.
Nanxi hurriedly waved his hand: "You don't have to explain to me, this is your family's business!" But I can guess that Pei Tianming only has one daughter in Pei Jiaoqian's family, and it is not yet a climate, and now he knows that he must be happy to have such an excellent son as you. He must have thought that the family business he had fought for all his life finally had a successor, right? β
Lu Zaiyuan bowed his head and was silent.
Nanxi didn't wait for him to reply, and said by himself: "By the way, I also heard that Pei Tianming doesn't know what kind of means he used, and he has already obtained the actual management of Zhao's Entertainment." Zhao Liangmao is very old and paralyzed by a stroke. With Pei Tianming operating outside, Zhao Xinyao may not be able to escape prison this time, and her daughter Pei Jiaoqian is a waste, and it is impossible to support her grandfather's career. As a result, Zhao's Entertainment will become Pei's Entertainment, and Pei's Entertainment will eventually fall into your hands, right? β
Lu Zaiyuan looked up at her and said solemnly: "Back then, Zhao Liangmao almost took the lives of our mother and son, he ruined my mother's life and my life, shouldn't he pay the price?" β
Nanxi was noncommittal, pursed his lips, and said, "It's none of your business to take revenge and who will pay the price." However, I see that you will have a more magnificent life in the future, and I can't withstand that kind of wind and waves, so what I really want to say is, let's get the divorce certificate quickly, I don't want to get involved in the whirlpool of your fighting again! You let me go, I want to live a peaceful life with my sister! β
Mom forced him to divorce, and Nanxi also forced him to divorce! It seems that his relationship with her has really reached a dead end, and there is no way out!
But he doesn't want to let go, there aren't many good things in his life, and he won't forgive himself for giving up like this.
But Nanxi's attitude was so resolute, as if he didn't have the slightest nostalgia for him, which made him very annoyed.
He was so irritable that he wanted to beat people, looking at Nanxi's emaciated face, he had no way to vent his anger.
He took a deep breath, another breath, to calm himself. Then, he moved to Nanxi's side, took her hand, and said, "Xiaoxi, let's not talk about divorce first, okay?" With so much going on lately, we're not very calm. Let's put this matter aside for a while, and we all think about it. β
Nanxi withdrew his hand, stared at the TV screen, and didn't look at him, and asked calmly, "Do you want to put it for a while?" I'm not in a hurry, your mother won't give you time, will she? β
Lu Zaiyuan gasped and lowered his head depressedly.
Nanxi turned his head to look at him like this, frowned, and said, "So long pain is better than short pain, why torture yourself and torture others?" Anyway, the divorce agreement was signed, and there was no property dispute, as long as we ran errands and went to the Civil Affairs Bureau, the matter was resolved. β
"Is that all you want to solve? Why are you so indifferent? Lu Zaiyuan was provoked by her cold appearance, and his tone became heavy, "When we were together, you and I were nong, and something happened to become like this?" Open and close your mouth to divorce, are you in a hurry to remarry? β
When Nan Xi heard this, his face turned red with anger, he jumped up all of a sudden, and glared at him angrily: "What are you embarrassed to mention about you and me?" You liar! When you lied to me, didn't you think there would be today? I'm just in a hurry to get married! What's wrong? I'm beautiful, kind and self-motivated, but I'm still afraid that I won't be able to get married? Do you think I have no one to want? β
Lu Zaiyuan didn't expect her to say these words, she opened her mouth and was stunned for a while, her heart ached like a knife: "I'm a big liar!" You are beautiful and kind! The line between us is so clear! You're in a hurry to get rid of me, it looks like there's already someone waiting to marry you, isn't it? β
"Yes!" Nanxi nodded heavily, "I'm in a hurry to get married, don't delay my happiness, hurry up and get the divorce certificate, otherwise how can I get a marriage certificate with someone else?!" β
"You!" knew that it was angry words, but Lu Zaiyuan was still choked by her words, and his face was red, "Okay!" You're amazing! Some people take it in, and some people are willing to marry! But don't be too arrogant, don't get a divorce for a day! You'll be my wife for a day! So you'd better be self-conscious! Stay away from other men! β
"You've finally spoken out! That's what you're here for, isn't it? But why are you yelling at me? Why do you have a request on me? I can stay wherever I like! You don't care! Nanxi waved his arm and pointed out the door, "You go!" You're going to disappear from my eyes right away! I don't want to see you! β
Nanxi had a high fever for a few days inexplicably, and although the fever has subsided now, his body is still very weak. This roar made her tired and made her gasp.
Lu Zaiyuan saw her like this, and regretted that he didn't hold back his temper. But when the quarrel reached this point, he couldn't get off the stage for a while.
He pursed his lips and stared at her face for a long time, then suddenly shook his hand, didn't say a word, turned around and walked out the door.
Nan Xi chased after him angrily, and as soon as he stepped out of the door with his front foot, she had already slammed the door behind him!
There was a slamming sound behind him, and his heart trembled. He turned his head to look at the closed door, and felt the urge to knock on it again and apologize to her.
But he knew very well that she hated him, and I was afraid that there would be no way to forgive him for a while. No matter what he said now, she probably wouldn't listen.
What's more, he himself has so many questions, about identity, about revenge, especially about his mother. If he can't convince his mother to change her attitude towards Nanxi, even if Nanxi is willing to forgive him, he has no way to explain it to her.
Thinking about it like this, he was sad and sad at the same time.
He didn't look back and knock on the door, went downstairs, and left.
With a heart full of depression, he drove directly from Liao Yijiang's house to the company.
The boss, who had been missing for nearly a month, suddenly appeared in the company, and the employees of Zhimei were surprised. What's more, during the time he left, there were various versions of rumors about what happened to him and Pei Tianming's family, which made his identity very mysterious.
Therefore, almost all of them looked at him with an inquiring gaze, as if they wanted to read words from his face in order to answer their curiosity and questions.
Even the secretary Jin Nana, who knew that he had returned to City D, still shouted when she saw him: "Oops! Mr. Pei! You're coming to work? β
"I'm coming to work, are you depressed? Do you wish I would never be in the company? Lu Zaiyuan was not happy, and his tone was very rushed.
Jin Nana hurriedly explained: "Of course not! We all miss ...... Thinking about you! During your absence, everyone didn't dare to slack off, they all worked hard, everything was normal in the company, and it was the same as when you were there! β
Jin Nana's original intention was to say a few words to please the road away.
She didn't expect Lu Zaiyuan to be in a bad mood at the moment, and the more she said, the more wrong she was.
"Oh?" Lu Zaiyuan turned his head to stare at her, "So...... It doesn't matter if the company has me as a boss or not, with your group of capable employees, I can just sit at home and count the money, right? β
"Huh? That ......" Jin Nana didn't expect to slap herself on the horse's ass, but actually slapped the horse's hooves, "Of course I didn't say that...... The main thing is that the boss has a good way of employing people, and people are not in the company, but they can also remotely control the operation of the company. β
"Is there a way to employ people? Who are you referring to? When Lu Zaiyuan said this, he had actually seen Liao Yijiang come out of Nanxi's office with a stack of folders.
Jin Nana didn't know what was wrong between these two men, and after seeing Liao Yijiang, she hurriedly said good things: "Didn't you let Minister Liao take charge of the company's business?" Recently, Minister Liao has simply regarded the company as his home, but thanks to him, the company's business has not been left behind......"
"Really?" Lu Zaiyuan looked at Liao Yijiang and sneered, "Then I have to reward Minister Liao well!" I was so touched by the spirit of treating my company as his own home! β
Jin Nana listened to Lu Zaiyuan's tone, and vaguely understood that she had said the wrong thing again.
Lu Zaiyuan had already walked towards his own office, and greeted Liao Yijiang as he walked: "Minister Liao, come to my office, let's talk." β
Liao Yijiang pursed his lips, handed the folder to Jin Nana's hand, followed the far back of the road, and entered the office.
Lu Zaiyuan sat behind his desk and pointed to the office door: "Please close the door." β
Liao Yijiang turned around and walked to the door, and closed the door of the president's office under Jin Nana's attentive gaze.
When he turned to face Lu Zaiyuan again, he saw Lu Zaiyuan's sharp and aggressive eyes. He spread his hands and said, "If Mr. Pei wants to fire me, you don't have to speak in person, as long as the personnel department gives me a letter of resignation." β
"Fired you? Why? Didn't you hear what Secretary Kim said? During my absence, I am fortunate to have you to support the company's operations. I thank you that it's too late, how can you fire someone who has made a great contribution to the company? I just don't understand, I don't remember that I ever delegated it to you, but Secretary Kim said that I gave you the authority, what's going on? Lu Zaiyuan stared at Liao Yijiang, how unhappy he looked.
In this office, Lu Zaiyuan is the boss, and Liao Yijiang is a subordinate. Therefore, Liao Yijiang's attitude was still very respectful: "This was said by Xiaoxi, she was in a very bad mood during that time, and she couldn't take care of the company's affairs with all her energy, and she was afraid that everyone would not accept my management, so she took your name." β
"Xiaoxi? Do you call her by her name like that in the company? "The road is far away, and I am trying to find faults.
"I'm sorry, it's Vice President Nan......" Liao Yijiang quickly changed his words.
"I think it's more smooth for you to call her name, and the words 'Vice President Nan' come out of your mouth, it's too reluctant."
If the road is far away, every word is full of sourness, and Liao Yijiang can certainly taste it. He thought for a while and said, "Mr. Pei, since you have returned, my task can be regarded as complete...... I ask you to take my leave. β
"I don't approve it!" Lu Zaiyuan decisively refused, "A capable talent like you, other companies can't dig it if they want to, will I let you go easily?" Am I such a stupid boss? Not only will I not allow you to resign, but I will give you a raise! β
"Mr. Pei......" Liao Yijiang still felt that he was not suitable to work in Zhimei, "Thank you for your appreciation, I still ask to resign!" β
Lu Zaiyuan jumped up, bypassed the desk, and came to Liao Yijiang: "Minister Liao, in addition to the salary increase, what kind of requirements do you have, even if you put it forward, in short, I will not allow you to resign!" I've been busy lately and don't have time to take care of the company's business. If you resign, then you can only let Xiaoxi come to work quickly. Even if it's for Xiaoshio, you should stay in the company, right? β
Liao Yijiang was silent when he heard him say this.
Lu Zaiyuan mentioned Nanxi in his heart, and when he saw that Liao Yijiang really didn't speak, he became even more angry.
He secretly gritted his teeth, patted Liao Yijiang's shoulder fiercely, and said, "If you are silent, it means that you agree to stay!" Next, the day-to-day operations of the company continue to be managed by you......"
Liao Yijiang was patted on the shoulder, and said with bared teeth: "Mr. Pei, you ......"
"I have a lot to do! Xiaoxi's body is still very weak, and she is still angry with me! It takes a lot of time and energy for me to take care of her, please her, and get her forgiveness, so I may not be able to take care of the company for the time being, and I will have to work hard for you! β
As soon as Liao Yijiang heard this, he was immediately depressed!
Okay, it turns out that you pushed everything about the company to me, because you wanted to concentrate on accompanying Xiaoxi! Then if you reconcile with Xiaoxi, won't I fulfill you?
The more Liao Yijiang thought about it, the more he felt that it was not a taste, but Lu Zaiyuan didn't give him a chance to refute, and directly pushed him out of the office door, and then called Jin Nana: "Secretary Jin, come in." β
Jin Nana hurriedly entered the office: "Mr. Pei, what is the matter with me?" β
"I'll arrange the work, you write it down, and go back to Minister Liao." Lu Zaiyuan sat in the sofa chair and thought for a while, "Find out all the company's business plans in the last three years, find out the ones that are implemented and those that are not implemented, and hand them over to Minister Liao for review, and let him give me a summary report." β
"Oh......" Jin Nana looked down and quickly jotted down in her notebook, but thought to herself: My mother, do you even want to read those plans that were killed before? That's too much, right? Is this necessary?
Without waiting for her to finish memorizing this item, she listened to Lu Zaiyuan and continued: "The company's current projects, let Minister Liao follow up one by one, and give me a detailed progress report every week for each project." β
Jin Nana was taken aback, looked up at Lu Zaiyuan, looked down hesitantly, and wrote down this item as well.
"By the way, there is one more job, the economic situation has not been very good since the beginning of this year, and from the current point of view, there is no impact on our company's business, but what about next year? And the year after? Will the advertising industry be affected by the economic environment? What kind of preparedness should our company prepare in advance? Let Minister Liao organize someone to do an in-depth investigation, and hand me a pre-assessment report three months later. β
Jin Nana didn't say anything this time, and directly recorded Lu Zaiyuan's words, and said secretly in her heart: When Minister Liao was here just now, why didn't you explain to him in person? Do you have to let me pass it on? There is so much work for some reason, is it because you want to exhaust Minister Liao? 166 Reading Network
