32. Exposure
Lin Jiahe's demonstration was a great success. Especially his emotional card, which is played almost impeccably. Wu Jue didn't know that a calm and unsmiling person turned out to be so moving when he narrated those sensational words. Even Wu Jue, a person outside Jiangcheng, seems to be able to feel the deep emotion of his homeland. Not to mention the people who have lived in urban villages for decades.
In addition, the president personally stepped out, and the sincerity of it naturally does not need to be said.
In this way, Shengshi has won the project of urban villages, which is already nine out of ten.
It can be seen that Lin Jiahe is also very satisfied with his demonstration. After the bidding meeting, when they shook hands with the officials present, they were all full of smiles.
Because of the fear of being surrounded by the media, several people went down from the VIP elevator to the underground parking lot under the arrangement of the hotel.
Cheng Yuzheng and Lin Jiahe both drove over. Wu Jue didn't follow them to pick up the car, just stood at the exit and waited.
Maybe it was because she was in a trance, and when she saw the car driving out of it and rushing straight towards her, she didn't realize that she was going to dodge it at all.
It wasn't until she was dragged back a few steps by a pair of hands, and the car braked in front of her, that she suddenly woke up.
She was about to stop Zhou Xing, but it was too late.
Zhou Xing had already rushed forward from behind her and hit the car from the outside: "How did you drive?" You don't have fucking eyes? ”
Even if the reviews are not good, Zhou Xing on the social field has always been gentle and elegant. No one has ever seen him rough. No, Wu Jue has seen it, a long, long time ago, he was such a hot-blooded and impulsive teenager.
The car window was slowly lowered, and Cheng Yuzheng's smiling face poked out slightly from inside: "I can't imagine that Zhou is always such a good person who sacrifices himself." Fortunately, Mr. Zhou appeared in time, otherwise I would have been in a big disaster. Deputy Manager Wu, are you alright? I didn't really see you standing on the side of the road just now. ”
"I'm fine." Wu Jue Ne stepped forward, "It's me who just lost my mind." Didn't see your car already out of the way. ”
Zhou Xing glanced at Cheng Yuzheng coldly, and then turned his head to look at Wu Jue, who frowned at him a little helplessly. He knew this, sighed to himself, and walked towards the parking lot.
At this time, Lin Jiahe's car also drove out, and he who was sitting in the back seat lowered the window, obviously not aware of what was happening in front of him, but said to Wu Jue, who was standing in a daze: "Get in the car." ”
Wu Jue had just moved her steps, and Cheng Yuzheng started the car violently and passed by her.
Wu Jue's heart skipped a beat, and finally he pretended to be calm, opened the car behind him and sat in.
Lin Jiahe held her hand and whispered to her, "Don't take it to heart." I'll explain it to him. ”
He was talking about Cheng Yuzheng, and she knew it. But she knew better that Cheng Yuzheng's sudden change was not because Lin Jiahe hid the relationship between the two from him, but probably knew something.
Whether it is Lin Jiahe or Cheng Yuzheng, they are not ordinary people. Her motives and her purpose, they will know sooner or later. It's just that she was unwilling, and she didn't have time to do anything, so she ran aground because of Cheng Yuzheng.
She was really unwilling.
That night, she had been restless, but fortunately, Lin Jiahe was concentrating on revising the plan in the study and didn't care too much about her state.
It was almost nine o'clock when she suddenly received a phone call. On the other end was a familiar male voice: "Wu Jue, do you remember what day it is?" ”
Her mind was suddenly shocked, how could she forget jì, how could she forget jì?
"Brother Yibei, where are you?"
"I'm by the river."
"You wait for me to come."
She didn't say hello to Lin Jiahe, and hurriedly ran out of the door.
took a taxi to the riverside, and sure enough, I saw Zhou Xing standing quietly by the guardrail alone.
"Brother Yibei."
"You're here."
Wu Jue realized that he was holding a cigarette in his hand.
"I ......" Wu Jue suddenly felt embarrassed.
"It's okay, the dead are gone. Many things always have to be forgotten, and we can't keep paying for the past. I just had some emotion today, so I called you. ”
"No, I won't forget. Shen Tong will always be in my heart. Wu Jue shook his head violently.
"Silly girl." Zhou Xing sighed and put her on his shoulder, "No, I don't want you to remember Shen Tong all the time, wait until this matter is over, wait until we have an explanation for Shen Tong." You start your new life and completely forget about Shen Tong. ”
"No, I won't forget Shen Tong." Wu Jue continued to shake his head, and took out a lunch box from his handbag, "I specially bought crab roe dumplings that Shen Tong likes." Today is his birthday and we want to celebrate him. ”
Zhou Xing looked at the lunch box in her hand, and his eyes were a little moist: "Shen Tong said that when I return to China, I will be invited to eat dumplings." Unexpectedly, I didn't even see him for the last time. If I had come back earlier, nothing like this would have happened. ”
After speaking, he took a deep breath: "Anyway, today is his birthday, and we have to celebrate it for him." ”
"Hmm." Wu Jue choked and nodded.
Zhou Xing took out the prepared ever-bright lamp from the car and lit it, and then put it on the river, watching the lamp slowly drift away with the wind. It wasn't until that little red light walked away that he spoke softly: "We wish Shen Tong a happy life in another world." We ate the dumplings for him. ”
Wu Jue hurriedly opened the lunch box. The dumplings in the box were still steaming. She and Zhou Xing fed each other into their mouths. Actually, it's really tasteless, but I swallow it slowly.
Wait until you finish eating the dumplings. Wu Jue finally couldn't help it, and didn't cry, but his shoulders were twitching faintly.
Zhou Xing hugged her and patted her on the back: "A qiē will pass." ”
In fact, Wu Jue is really messy, on the one hand because of this special day, and on the other hand, because of Bai Ri Yu's attitude towards himself
Over the past year, there have been many times when she actually wanted to give up. As Zhou Xing said, she is still young, and she still has a long life to live. As long as she is willing, it may not be too difficult to find another happiness.
However, more often than not, as long as she thinks of Shen Tong, the tumor in her heart is eating away at her bones. For her, it's a ritual that must be done. Only by completing this ritual can she transform into a butterfly.
When he went to work the next day, Wu Jue came directly to Cheng Yuzheng's office.
He was obviously aware of her arrival, leaning back on the seat and playing with the pen in his hand, smiling inexplicably.
After a night of thinking, Wu Jue no longer had the panic of yesterday. She sat down and spoke directly: "Cheng Yuzheng, I know you have something to say to me." ”
Cheng Yuzheng raised his eyebrows: "How do I think you have something to say to me." ”
"I know you don't want to see me with Lin Jiahe. But this is a private matter between me and him, and I hope you don't interfere. And you've said before that you're not going to take care of our business anymore. ”
"Before I left, I said I wouldn't mind your business anymore. But as I said, Lin Jiahe is my friend, and I don't want him to be hurt. ”
Wu Jue was silent for a moment: "Cheng Yuzheng, what do you want to say?" ”
Cheng Yuzheng sighed: "Wu Jue, have I ever sued you, my intuition is particularly accurate." From the first time I saw you, I said that you are very different, you look harmless, but you are very scheming. I don't want to see you and you are with Lin Jiahe because I feel that you must have another purpose. Now it seems that I was right. ”
"What do you mean?" Wu Jue frowned, and the hand on his lap was already unconsciously tightened.
"To be honest, I've always been a little wary of you, but strangely, I really haven't resent you, and I don't care what you're going to do. Even some of your personality appeals to me. So I never checked on you, but this time I went to investigate the story and accidentally found out that the reporter who covered the news was a high school classmate with you. Then, again, I accidentally saw an old photo at your university. ”
As he spoke, he took a briefing note from a drawer and threw it on the table.
Wu Jue hesitated and took the slightly yellowed newspaper, and his originally calm face finally froze a little. The photo on it is a photo of her and Zhou Xing. She still remembers that time, they participated in the amateur badminton competition of Jiangcheng University and won the mixed doubles runner-up, so they went to the school newspaper. In the photo, the two held the trophy high and hugged each other and smiled at the camera, indeed intimate like lovers.
"His name is Shen Yibei, right, he is a senior brother two levels higher than you. I was also very unsure, after all, there are so many people in the world who look alike. What's more, according to the information in my hands, Zhou Xing grew up abroad. But yesterday, seeing him in the parking lot was so nervous about you. And what you do by the river at night. ”
In Wu Jue's astonishment, he threw two more photos on the table. The photo is the picture of her and Zhou Xing, or Shen Yibei, hugging by the river last night.
Wu Jue looked at the photo, and after a moment, he suddenly chuckled: "So what? Detective Cheng, what do you think I'm doing? ”
Cheng Yuzheng probably didn't expect Wu Jue to be so light-hearted, but when he thought about it, he sneered: "Wu Jue, don't treat people as fools anymore." I'm not Lin Jiahe, I'll be blinded by you. Your purpose is too obvious, you want to help Zhou Xing deal with Lin Zheng, you want to defeat Lin Zheng, don't you? He paused, "Seeing that Zhou Xing doesn't look ruthless to you, I don't understand, if you are his woman, how could he let you come to Lin Zheng to be a commercial spy for his own selfish desires, and let you climb into Lin Jiahe's bed?" ”
Wu Jue didn't answer his words, but asked, "What I want to know is what you want to do with me." ”
Cheng Yuzheng was stunned: "I said, I don't hate you." So, while you haven't done anything to hurt Lin Zheng and hurt Ah Shou now, leave immediately. I'm not going to leak this out, including Jiahe. You know, if he knew about it, it would have been unpredictable. ”
"Oh? Wouldn't I be grateful to you? Wu Jue only felt a little cold in his heart. It's still a failure, isn't it?
Thinking about it, she breathed a heavy sigh of relief and stood up to walk out.
"Wait." Cheng Yuzheng suddenly got up, "You haven't answered me yet, why are you doing this?" ”
She turned her head and smiled at him: "As you guessed, I love Zhou Xing, and I am willing to do this for him." You also know that his position in Wei Hong is very precarious now. If I help him defeat Lin Zheng, he will be able to shun Wei Hong. ”
She didn't know why she was telling such a meaningless lie at such a time.
Perhaps, for the last stand.
Cheng Yuzheng cursed in a low voice and said, "Zhou Xingzhen is not a thing, putting his own woman in someone else's bed." ”
"Don't get me wrong, I'm willing to do these things. We're not the kind of relationship you think, either. Zhou Xing is a very good person. But sometimes women just like to drill the horns, and no one can complain about this. ”
Cheng Yuzheng looked at her confused and tired expression, his heart tightened, he strode over, and looked at her with some concern: "Wu Jue, I always thought you were a rational woman, and I didn't expect to do such a stupid thing."
"There are times when people are stupid." She sighed faintly.
Men's compassion is actually easy to overflow. Cheng Yuzheng, who was still arrogant and angry just now, softened in an instant. Or as he himself said, he couldn't have any disgust with Wu Jue. And his instincts told him that she wasn't a bad woman.
"Forget it. You'd better stay in Lin Zheng first. On the other side of the Jiahe, you deal with it slowly. Leaving so suddenly will definitely make him realize that something is wrong. I know very well that he is serious about you, and if he knows about these things, I am afraid that he will ......"
The latter words speak for themselves.
"Thank you, Cheng Yuzheng." His words really moved her.
"We're still friends, aren't we? I don't just think Lin Jiahe is a friend. He smiled, "Zhou Xing, you can also deal with it, don't do stupid things again." ”
Wu Jue walked out of Cheng Yuzheng's office, feeling infinitely ridiculous in his heart. Cheng Yu is such a kind man, but she still played tricks with him at this moment.
She and Cheng Yuzheng are not particularly familiar, but they still know a little about his multi-year history of unrequited love. So she just gambled, betting that he would empathize with her uncomplaining dedication, and then sympathize with the disease.
Apparently, she succeeded.
