Zhou Nan returned to Haidu, and everything seemed to be back to the original trajectory.

In Hong Kong, he is the big boss of the Feiteng Group and the unmarried master of Lan's Enterprise, but when he returns to Haidu, he is still an inconspicuous company manager, and he still goes to and from work every day, and there is not much change.

In fact, Zhou Nan also knew in his heart that it was impossible to return to the original point. Although everyone around him pretended to be nothing, in fact, the deep awe or sense of alienation in his eyes was simply trying to cover it up.

Even when she returned home, her mother Yue Ping often looked at her son with a strange gaze. In any case, the gorgeous aura of the capital giant and the big boss Zhou Nan and every "overlap" with the unpretentious son in front of her made her feel very unreal.

As for his father, Zhou Ningyu, he remained silent more often than not, and occasionally said a few words, which also reminded him to grasp the direction of his life and not to mess up his proportions.

Originally, Zhou Ningyu wanted Zhou Nan to give up business and enter politics, but now that Zhou Nan has made such a big family business, he knows that it is almost impossible to make him give up, so he no longer said anything.

Anyway, in his opinion, his son is becoming more and more incomprehensible to him, and it is becoming more and more mysterious and deep. Fortunately, he is still his son after all-as for the rest, Zhou Ningyu subconsciously chose to avoid it.

The Zhou family still lives in the old two-bedroom and two-living house, and Yue Ping still rides her dilapidated bicycle to school to work, and her life has not changed because of Zhou Nan's sudden wealth.

Just a few days before Zhou Nan returned from Hong Kong, the Party Committee of the Haidu Construction Committee held a party committee, and Meng Chunting read out Zhou Nan's application to resign as a member of the Party Committee and deputy general manager of the Haidu Petroleum and Gas Corporation, and at the same time copied a series of statements on Zhou Nan's self-declaration on the establishment of Feiteng Company after graduating from university and the recent capital operation, and put them on the desks of the members of the Party Committee of the Construction Committee.

Although Zhou Nan did not "harm the public and private interests" in starting his own business, as he judged himself, after his identity was exposed, it was obviously inappropriate to continue to serve as a senior leader of a state-owned enterprise.

Therefore, the Party Committee of the Municipal Construction Committee approved Zhou Nan's resignation report. At the same time, the party committee of the Haidu Construction Committee passed a resolution on appointment, removing him from his post as a member of the party committee and deputy general manager of the Zhounanhai City Petroleum and Gas Corporation and appointing him as a deputy manager-level investigator of the Haidu City Petroleum and Gas Corporation.

For Zhao Chunlin, this is a result to be happy about. He personally made a phone call to Meng Chunting, director of the Construction Committee, saying that Zhou Nan was no longer suitable to represent state-owned assets as the general manager of Lanhai Company without his administrative position, and asked to communicate with the Hong Kong side and send a new general manager candidate from Haidu Petroleum and Gas Corporation.

Meng Chunting did not object, personally convened Zhao Chunlin and Zhou Nan held a meeting, at the meeting, to Zhao Chunlin's surprise, Zhou Nan did not object, but very cooperatively said that he took the initiative to contact the Hong Kong Lan's enterprise, as soon as possible to convene the board of directors of Lanhai Company, to study the appointment of a new general manager.

Zhao Chunlin felt a little strange at first, and then thought about it again, this kid has such a big company in his hands, worth more than a billion yuan, and now he is rich, and it is normal to look down on the position of general manager of Lanhai Company.

This year, no institution has come out to select any rich list. If there is a ranking, the current Zhou Nan is definitely the richest man in Haidu.

………… On the morning of December 4, 1997, Zhou Nan came out of Lanhai Company and prepared to go to the headquarters of Feiteng Group to take a picture. Zhang Ying and others are now busy controlling Guanhao Group in Hong Kong, and Cui Jing is the only one left in the family, to be honest, Zhou Nan is still a little uneasy.

But just as he was about to drive away, the call from his godmother Lin Xia came in. Since Zhou Nan came back, Lin Xia basically hasn't looked for Zhou Nan, feeling that she is a little angry and disappointed, it should be because of Xie Bing.

Lin Xia introduced Xie Bing to her godson Zhou Nan, originally thinking that the two were a pair made in heaven, but unexpectedly, Zhou Nan went to Hong Kong and caught up with a wealthy daughter. This made Lin Xia think that Zhou Nan was very attentive and uncomfortable, so she didn't bother to take care of Zhou Nan anymore.

"Xiao Nan, I don't care what happens to you and that Lan Ruo, I'll ask you, what's going on between you and Xie Bing?" The outspoken Lin Xia didn't say any nonsense, it was not easy for her to hold these words in her stomach for so long.

"......" Zhou Nan was speechless for a while, not knowing how to answer Lin Xia.

Lin Xia was silent for a while, after all, she was still kissed by her godson, and Xie Bing was an outsider no matter what. Lin Xia sighed and said, "Xiao Nan, it's not that my mother said you, you should at least break off with Xie Bing first, and then chase that Miss Lan...... That's how you ......"

"Mom, I can't explain this to you for a while. The only thing I can tell you is that I already liked Lan Ruo before you introduced me to Xie Bing. ”

"Some time ago, Xie Bing asked me to pretend to be her boyfriend...... As for the later ...... But ......" Zhou Nan explained for a long time and still couldn't explain clearly, so he simply smiled bitterly, "Mom, I'm going to go abroad to meet Xie Bing after the Spring Festival and talk to her......"

Lin Xia sighed, "You don't have to go abroad, she has already returned to China, I just heard, but it's not in Haidu, another unit in the capital, it's said that it's not going back to Haidu......"

Zhou Nan was taken aback, "She's back?" Didn't you say you were going to be abroad for a year, why did you come back in less than half a year? ”

"I don't know the specifics...... I'm worried about whether she returned to China early because of you......" Lin Xia hesitated, but still lowered her voice and said, "Xiao Nan, go over and explain a few words to others, it's a friend anyway, alas, you are too ......"

Zhou Nan hummed softly, "I'll go to the capital tomorrow to find Xie Bing." ”

Zhou Nan drove straight to the capital by himself early the next morning. In the evening of the same day, he entered the capital, found a hotel to stay in, took a shower and ate something, and that night he drove to the military camp where Xie Bing is now.

However, Xie Bing did not see him. Although Zhou Nan had been waiting at the gate of the barracks until late at night, Xie Bing still did not come out.

The next morning, Zhou Nan went to the barracks again, but Xie Bing still refused to see him, and just asked a female ensign to help her carry a letter to Zhou Nan.

Zhou Nan opened the letter and saw that there was only one address on it, which was a café not far from this military camp, and he knew in his heart that Xie Bing was finally willing to meet him.

Obviously, the reason why Xie Bing returned to China halfway and suddenly transferred to the capital must be because he knew about Zhou Nan and Lan Ruo.

………… Xie Bing didn't write down the time of meeting, Zhou Nan had no choice but to wait in the café from noon, drinking cup after cup of coffee, until the evening, Xie Bing, who was wearing a winter coat and no military hat, quietly appeared in Zhou Nan's field of vision.

Xie Bing's delicate and beautiful appearance is still the same, but his face is a little haggard, and his expression is even more cold and arrogant.

just opened the door of her heart and fell in love with a man in a daze, but not long after she left, this man went to Hong Kong to get a daughter of a wealthy Hong Kong family, and also made a so-called lingering love legend, which was no less than a blow to Xie Bing, which made her disheartened and sad and desperate.

In fact, she and Zhou Nan have not been together for a long time, and leaving aside the "prelude" of pretending to be a boyfriend and girlfriend relationship before, it will probably take a month for the two to really have ambiguous feelings. It's just that before she left, the two couldn't control and crossed the red line of their relationship for a while, which greatly shortened the process of emotional brewing and fermentation.

"Actually, you shouldn't have come to see me...... In this way, it is the most ideal result for both you and me. You don't have to explain, in fact, there is nothing between us...... Really, it was actually a misunderstanding from the beginning. I don't blame you. Xie Bing slowly sat down opposite Zhou Nan, his expression not as intense as Zhou Nan imagined.

Zhou Nan smiled awkwardly, "If I don't come once, I will feel uncomfortable for the rest of my life." Whether you want to hear it or not, I want to tell you about it. ”

"I've liked Lan Ruo for a long, long time, and I've had a crush on her since I was a freshman year. It's just that I know that the gap between us is too big and too big......" Zhou Nan sighed lightly, "Later, I started a business to set up a take-off company, and then I continued to work hard to develop, and a big factor was because of Lan Ruo. ”

"At that time, we didn't know each other." Zhou Nan waved his hand lightly to ask the waiter to come over and ordered a cup of coffee for Xie Bing, Xie Bing's expression was calm and he did not refuse.

"We met by accident and ......" Zhou Nan said in a low voice, "Later, I found out that I was attracted to you, but after all, the time we spent together was too short, I ...... Plus this time I went to Hong Kong, Lan Ruo ......"

Xie Bing suddenly smiled, "I generally understand what you mean." You fell in love with Lan Ruo before me, but at that time, there was no shadow of your relationship with Lan Ruo...... Later, you went to Hong Kong again, and suddenly found that you were not unrequited love, Lan Ruo also had feelings for you, so the two of you came together, and I became a victim. ”

"Isn't that so?" Xie Bing's voice was slightly mocking.

"Yes, please forgive me......" Zhou Nan hung his head in embarrassment.

"It looks like I'm a third party...... Zhou Nan, don't you think this thing is a little weird......" Xie Bing smiled coldly, "So, may I ask Chairman Zhou, how are you going to send the little girl?" ”

"......" Zhou Nan was silent, because he couldn't answer.

"I just want to ask you one thing, if Lan Ruo didn't have Lan Ruo, or rather, Lan Ruo didn't like you, would you end up completely in love with me......" Xie Bing suddenly sighed.

"Yes." Zhou Nan raised his head suddenly, looking at Xie Bing's eyes as deep as water, and couldn't tell what it was like for a while, "I'm sorry, I hurt you......"

Alas. Xie Bing lowered his head and sighed. I don't know why, before Zhou Nan came to see her, her heart was filled with endless anger and sadness, but now that she really saw this flowery radish Zhou Nan, she calmed down.

"You don't need to worry about me, I'm not the fragile kind of person. I won't ruin the marriage between you and Lan Ruo, you can do whatever you want...... I will wish you all happiness here. Xie Bing said silently, and then Huo Ran got up and prepared to leave.

Zhou Nan subconsciously reached over and grabbed Xie Bing's slightly cold hand, one wanted to leave, the other wanted to stay, and the force "canceled out" each other, Xie Bing's body was weak and fell into Zhou Nan's arms.

Xie Bing struggled violently, but Zhou Nanyue hugged him tighter.

Xie Bing finally gave up his useless efforts, gasping and choking in a voice, "What do you want to do, you're going to get married, what are you doing to pester me?" What are you when I am? ”

It was only at this time that Xie Bing's external indifferent reserve was completely peeled off, and she turned around and slapped Zhou Nan almost hysterically, "biting" and crying, attracting a lot of attention.

However, young people nowadays often fall in love with such "ups and downs", and everyone just glanced at it, and they didn't continue to "watch".

………… Xie Bing finally stopped tossing.

She fell weakly into Zhou Nan's arms and muttered to herself, "You scoundrel, shameless scoundrel......"

Zhou Nan sighed and said softly, "Instead of suffering in the future, it's better to be a shameless scoundrel now." Xie Bing, no matter what you think of me, no matter how difficult it is, I will not let go...... If you really want to punish me, let me use the time later to compensate you......"

Holding Xie Bing in his arms, Zhou Nan looked up at the exquisite crystal chandelier on the ceiling, at this moment, he really felt that he had reached an extreme point of shamelessness. Delong Wangshu, eating in the bowl and looking at the pot, wanting to hug left and right, the man's inferior roots and surnames have recently exploded in him.

"You let me go, I'm not leaving...... Zhou Nan, I can only say that we met too late, and fate plays tricks on people! I don't deny that although you are very attentive, I still can't let go of you. However, the matter has come to this point, you want me to stay by your side......" Xie Bing sighed softly, "At the very least, you have to give me some time to think about it." ”

"You go back first, if I think about it, if I'm sure I really can't leave you, I'll probably go find you."

………… Zhou Nan was irritable and drove back to Haidu overnight, and ran all night on the highway. On the way, Xie Bing even called him very calmly and told him to be careful when driving on the road.

Back in Haidu, it was already more than 9 o'clock in the morning the next day, and Zhou Nan drove directly into the compound of Lanhai Company. got out of the car and met Dong Qiliang head-on. However, Dong Qiliang saw that his face was gloomy and tired, so he didn't dare to greet him, but stood respectfully to the side and let Zhou Nan hurriedly walk over.
