Chapter 174: Hong Yu's Confession
When Li Xun received a call from Hong Yu, he was a little surprised, he had the impression that this girl was taciturn, working hard at work, much more dedicated than his sister, but unfortunately not talented enough, he could only make up for it by the day after tomorrow, he had seen her once sing Peking Opera on a small stage, and her breath was a little unstable, but she looked like a move, a frown, and such a person would be popular in any industry.
Li Xun did not go out, but asked Hong Yu to come to his apartment, and it is always unsafe for big stars to appear in public. Hong Yu cautiously stepped into Li Xun's luxurious apartment, which was much more upscale than the neighborhood where she lived, and Li Xun explained that this house was a dowry for Yan Jinglan, and he was only living here temporarily.
Hong Yu sat on the sofa, bowing his head and drinking the coffee he handed over, this house was filled with a smell of coffee, Li Xun was wearing a simple thin sweater and black trousers, very casual dress, she saw an Apple computer and some Wen Jiàn on the other end of the coffee table, but what caught her attention was the simple glasses.
Only then did Hong Yu find a topic and ask: "Is Mr. Li short-sighted?" ”
Li Xun naturally also saw the glasses placed there, and said with a smile: "The myopia is not very high, and I will only wear it when I am watching Wen Jiàn work." Miss Hung asked me to meet, is there something wrong? ”
Hong Yu put down the coffee, because he was in a hurry, so when the coffee cup touched the coffee saucer, it made a crisp sound, which was extremely loud in this space, and Hong Yu's cheeks were slightly red. Li Xun was not in a hurry, waiting for her to tell her purpose.
Hong Yu looked down at her wrist, before she came, Xu Heyan specially sent a bracelet to her, saying that it was inlaid with pink crystal, attracting peach blossoms, she touched the chain, and finally mustered up the courage to say: "I hope Mr. Li will give me a chance, I want to be your girlfriend!" ”
The coffee spoon in Li Xun's hand fell into the cup with a thud, and the air was surprisingly quiet for a while, Hong Yu could only hear his heart beating fast and violently, and it was about to jump out in one fell swoop. Li Xun looked at the young girl in front of him, she was only one or two years older than her sister, although she had never gotten along, but because she was a friend of her sister, he had a good impression of her, but he didn't expect that this little girl was very bold and ran to the house to confess to him.
Li Xun smiled slightly: "Did Miss Hong hear some rumors before she said such a clueless thing?" I don't remember how well we knew each other. ”
Hong Yu clenched the bracelet on his wrist and raised his head to look at him: "I fell in love with Mr. Li at first sight!" ”
When Li Xun heard these four words, he couldn't help but relax a little, and said with a smile: "Love at first sight? Miss Hong is not a child anymore, do you still believe in these four words? ”
Hong Yu nodded firmly: "I didn't believe it before, but since I saw you at Ah Lan's wedding, I believe it!" ”
Li Xun noticed the bracelet in her hand and shook his head: "But I don't believe it!" I will live a few years longer than you, give Miss Hong a word of advice, don't believe in empty love, what you should really work hard for is your career, and if you want love, it will naturally come after you stand on a high place one day. ”
Hong Yu was puzzled: "What does love have to do with career?" Everyone is entitled to pursue love, no matter what time it is. ”
Li Xun smiled helplessly: "Miss Hong's perception of the world and human nature is so simple, I don't know whether to say it's good or bad." Nowadays, there are a few pure loves, all of which are mixed with money, interests, favors and sophistication, Ah Lan and Ji Qianyi can come together smoothly, do you think it is just by love? If Ji Qianyi is a poor bastard, Ah Lan will die, and I will not let her marry Ji Qianyi, so Miss Hong understands what I mean. ”
Hong Yu trembled at his words, she didn't expect Li Xun to look at his sister's love so humblely, or that he looked down on love at all, Li Xun said: "You said that you fell in love with me at first sight, we just met in a hurry at that time, what do you love about me?" Do you like my looks, or do you know that I am Brother Lan and love my wealth? Doesn't Miss Hong know that love at first sight is the most superficial? You don't know me, judging by that side alone, judging by what I put on my face, maybe it's what I'm deliberately pretending to be......"
Hong Yu bit her lower lip stubbornly, clenched her fists and listened to him criticize love as useless, she didn't expect that she fell in love at first sight with such a man, arrogant, indifferent, always speculating on other people's intentions with malice, suddenly Hong Yu let go of his teeth and smiled palely: "Mr. Li's words really taught me, about our growth environment is different, I believe in truth, goodness and beauty, and Mr. Li is more inclined to human nature and evil, I can only say that Mr. Li's life is really sad, even life can't let you breathe, Fortunately, Ah Lan didn't follow you, otherwise, she wouldn't be as pure and optimistic as she is now. ”
With that, he got up and left. As soon as he stepped out of there, Hong Yu's tears fell uncontrollably, and the first confession in his life was such a bad ending, which was even more hurtful than the other party's direct refusal. Li Xun in the room leaned on the back of the sofa chair, looking at the dense rain outside the window, at this time Assistant Sun came out of the room on the side, he had been here all along, and he avoided it for the time being in order to make room for him and Hong Yu.
Assistant Sun walked up to Li Xun, couldn't help sighing, and said with some blame: "Why do you say it so ugly, it's a good thing that the little girl likes you, aren't you also very eager for love?" ”
Li Xun smiled bitterly: "Such a simple girl is not suitable for me, rather than letting her have illusions, it is better to let her die directly." ”
Assistant Sun sighed and shook his head, Li Xun also had a very good girlfriend back then, but at that time he was in a somewhat dangerous situation, because of the identity of the adopted son, it was not easy to inherit the huge inheritance of his adoptive father and adoptive mother, and even his girlfriend was shot and killed, that incident made Li Xun unable to come out, until today the women he dated are just bedding.
Hong Yu ran through this heavy rain, she didn't know how long it took to stop her tears, and she didn't know where she ran there, she only felt chills all over her body, she felt that she was finally alive again.
In the evening, Xu Heyan came to Hong Yu's residence, touched her hot forehead, boiled some porridge for her to eat, and fed some medicine, Hong Yu sat on the bed on his knees, his face was a little blue, obviously suffering from the cold.
Xu Heyan sat on the edge of the bed and asked, "Failed?" ”
Hong Yu nodded silently, it was indeed a failure, it was a fiasco!
Xu Heyan touched her head: "This time it failed, there will be another time, if you really like him, you have to him, there is always a way to impress him." ”
Hong Yu shook his head, his voice hoarse: "No, he can't be impressed, a man who even looks down on his sister's love is not worth my repeated pursuit!" ”
Xu Heyan was puzzled: "What does this have to do with Yan Jinglan, I think Li Xun admires Ji Qianyi." ”
Under Xu Heyan's questioning, Hong Yu told her what Li Xun told her, Xu Heyan was a little emotional, so she didn't persuade Hong Yu again, how ruthless Li Xun is, she has seen it, but this kind of desperate mentality for the world should not appear in him, especially when he recognizes his sister, he should be more positive about life, how can he be so negative?
Hong Yu had a high fever for three days in a row, and was finally admitted to the hospital, so frightened that Yan Jinglan hurriedly ran over from the crew to see her, but Tang Jiahui joked that Hong Yu has been too tired all these years, and he has become ill from hard work, and the fever will be easier. Xu Heyan naturally knew what Hong Yu was like this for, forget it, just assume that she is tired from filming, and when she recovers, Li Xun will not be in the country.
Yan Jinglan finally asked for leave from the crew, and after visiting Hong Yu, she returned to her brother's apartment, and he was going back to the United States in the next two days, so she came over to see him off. When she mentioned that her good sister Hong Yu was admitted to the hospital with a high fever, Li Xun rubbed her wine glass and didn't say anything, Yan Jinglan naturally didn't know that there was a past between him and Hong Yu, so when she extended from Hong Yu's illness to how they became good friends step by step, Li Xun finally couldn't help but interrupt her and said, "It's so late, let's go to bed early." ”
Yan Jinglan looked at the wall clock on the wall, it was only 11 o'clock, and then after thinking about Ji Qianyi's request, she threw down the pillow in her arms and obediently went back to the room to sleep. When she was at home, since Yan Jinglan graduated, Ji Qianyi never allowed her to sleep after 11 o'clock, thinking that it was not good for her health, especially girls. Li Xun sat in the living room for a long time, and the clock on the wall was past 1 o'clock before he got up and returned to the room.
Early the next morning, Ji Qianyi also rushed to see off the brother-in-law, Ji Qianyi and Yan Jinglan stood together, holding hands and watching Li Xun leave through the security check, Yan Jinglan hugged her husband, feeling a little reluctant, although the occasion when she and her brother recognized each other was more absurd, but in fact, she could feel her brother's concern and love for her, but unfortunately, he couldn't stay in China for a long time, and she couldn't go abroad to accompany her brother now, I just hope he can find a woman who loves him to take care of him.
When Hong Yu was discharged from the hospital, her face was as pale as paper, she didn't say a word, and let the assistant help her clean up, she knew that Li Xun flew back to the United States today, but she couldn't think of a reason to send him, and even she didn't know if she could meet him again in the future, what did she say when she saw her face? Talking about Yan Jinglan and Ji Qianyi casually? Such an embarrassing scene is better than not appearing.
Xu Heyan sighed, she felt that Hong Yu had been hit hard in this matter, which made her more decadent than ever. Fortunately, at this time, Hong Yu's parents came to accompany her for a while because they were not worried about their daughter's body, which made Xu Heyan a little more relieved, if she was distracted by the company of her parents, Hong Yu should cheer up quickly.
At this time, the company is brewing a major event, the decision to put Xu Heyan and Tang Jiahui on the board of directors! This matter was raised by Chen Meiru, and the board of directors has not yet made a decision, but this is a great thing for Xu Heyan and Tang Jiahui, after all, entering the board of directors has the right to participate in decision-making, and there are also share dividends, why not do it.
Xu Heyan is also carefully preparing for this matter, if she can really enter the board of directors, then her plan to study abroad may have to be postponed again, after all, the opportunity is rare, so it is really not easy to study again after work, because she can't let go of the benefits of all aspects brought by work.
Tang Jiahui didn't care, and knew that she had no hope, after all, Duan Lei was already on the board of directors, and she was not a relative of the chairman, so she could naturally occupy a place on the board of directors, who would want the family members of the board members to come in, in this case, it would be unfair in decision-making. But Xu Heyan is different, although she was cultivated by Duan Lei, the relationship between them is just that of superiors and subordinates, so although everyone agrees that Xu Heyan will follow Duan Lei in decision-making and voting, such reasons are not sufficient, and Xu Heyan's entry into the board of directors can be said to be a sure thing.
But in the final vote, Duan Lei voted against and closed the door to the board of directors in front of Xu Heyan, which surprised the whole company, and even Xu Heyan didn't understand Duan Lei's intention to do so.
Duan Lei asked her to dinner, Xu Heyan naturally knew that he wanted to explain, so she went, and she didn't show her face, she couldn't turn against him and let the company see their jokes because Duan Lei opposed her entering the board of directors.
Duan Lei looked at Xu Heyan, loosened his tie and smiled: "Are you complaining in your heart that I won't let you enter the board of directors?" ”
Xu Heyan pursed her lips and said childishly: "It's a complaint, you don't know how much income I will lose if I don't join the board of directors!" ”
Duan Lei poured her a cup of tea and patiently explained: "The board of directors is like officialdom, you come and go, few of them are really doing practical things, if you come in, you will inevitably spend time socializing with them and wasting time." You're a hard worker, and although you're okay with this, it's a drain on energy after all, and I hope you still focus on your work, and I'll help you deal with those old guys. ”
Xu Heyan smiled: "It turns out that Mr. Duan didn't let me enter the board of directors, just to squeeze my last drop of blood and sweat!" ”
Duan Lei shook his head: "It's not the last drop of blood and sweat, but a steady stream of creation." You and Jiahui have worked well together, and I hope you have always been a golden match. ”
Xu Heyan knocked on the table, squinted and asked Duan Lei: "Don't you consider giving me a salary increase in that general exam?" I do a good job of many people by myself, and if I don't have shares, I should raise my salary. ”
Duan Lei also smiled: "Of course, your salary in the future will not be lower than mine, are you so satisfied?" ”
Xu Heyan nodded reluctantly: "That's pretty much it!" If I hadn't been to the board of directors this time, and I hadn't even received a salary increase, I would have been embarrassed to mess around in the company, and those colleagues would have laughed at me! ”
A meal resolved the unhappiness in Xu Heyan's heart, but this matter reached the ears of other company executives, and a new round of digging corners came again, but Xu Heyan didn't expect that the first one to come this time was Hou Yue. (To be continued.) )
