Everyone's eyes will be focused on Zhan Zheng's body, everyone knows that his vote is a crucial vote, and everyone is staring at him with burning eyes, wanting to see how he will choose in the end.

The person on Zhan Qi's side looked very indifferent, Zhan Qi slowly tasted the monkey kui tea in front of him, Zhan Yi smiled and turned the pen in his hand, while Zhan Rong lowered his head and was playing with his mobile phone, without thinking about it, he knew that he was texting with Xiao Qi.

Compared to Zhan Jue's side, he was much more nervous, especially Zhan Jue himself, seeing Zhan Zheng holding the voting machine and hesitating, the whole person's spirit was highly tense, and the palms of the hands he was holding were sweaty, and he stared at him with his lips pursed.

But Zhan Zheng held the voting machine motionlessly.

The stopwatch on the screen had already entered the countdown, and in the blink of an eye, it had become the last five seconds, and just when everyone was waiting with bated breath for the final result, at the moment of counting down to the third second, Zhan Zheng suddenly pressed the abstention.

Let him completely stand on the side of the battle trick and seek the skin of the tiger, he still can't do it. But let him choose Zhan Qi, he was a little hesitant in his heart.

This is the end of the vote, and this result is also a few joys and a few sorrows for everyone present.

The host glanced back at the big screen, held the microphone and said loudly: "The voting results have been displayed on the big screen, regarding the removal of Mr. Zhan Qi as chairman of the board of directors, 7 votes in favor, 7 votes against, and one abstention, according to the results, this recall will not be successful." The meeting was dismissed by the in-house counsel and notaries who were present to make a review of the meeting, and to thank the company's senior management, shareholders, and all employees for their attendance. ”

At the end of the meeting, Zhan Qi was the first to get up and walk out, Zhan Yi followed behind him, raised his head and laughed twice, "Ha, happy!" It's a pleasure! Hey, did you just see Shi Yu's face? It's dark, tsk, I guess I'll have to eat the old man's head again when I go back. ”

How about Shi Yu, he didn't pay attention, his attention was basically on Zhan Jue and Zhan Zheng from beginning to end, and it could be seen that Zhan Zheng's sudden defection killed Zhan Jue by surprise.

According to the company's regulations, the board meeting must be held three months before the second meeting, which means that Zhan Zheng's sudden backlash almost deprived Zhan Jue of his only chance to bring him down.

And within three months, if you want to have a Cui Can in the whole area, it will be easy for Zhan Qi.

Zhan Zheng also stood up and prepared to leave after the meeting, but before he could take a step, he was stopped by Zhan Jue reaching out.

His face was angry and indignant, and he glared and asked, "Zhan Zheng, what do you mean?" ”

Zhan Zheng looked at him expressionlessly, "What do you mean?" ”

"We said it well yesterday, why do you say that you will abstain today?"

"Well said?" Zhan Zheng sneered when he heard this, looked him up and down, and said contemptuously: "Uncle, is it because of your miserabled memory, or is it old?" I only remember that I said I would consider it, but I don't remember that I promised you that I would be on your side. Don't you understand what the word means? ”

"You! ”

Zhan Zheng glanced at him lightly, turned his head and walked out, and Shi Yu on the side didn't get what he wanted in this war, so naturally there was no point in staying longer, so he left directly with Shi Xia.

After coming out of the conference room, Zhan Zheng's mood has been very depressed, so he casually sent the assistant back by himself, he took the car keys and walked straight to the parking lot.

It's just that he didn't expect that before he walked to his car, someone took the lead in speaking-

"It's not your style to come out so late."

When he looked up, it turned out to be Zhan Qi, who was leaning against a pillar in the parking lot with his arms around at this time, looking very indifferent.

Thinking about what he had done before, Zhan Zheng still felt a little embarrassed in the face of Zhan Qi at this time, coughed lightly, and said uncomfortably: "Big brother, why are you here?" ”

"Your assistant said you were leaving alone, so I'm here to block you." Zhan Qi straightened up and walked over to him, seeing that he looked restrained, he patted him on the shoulder instead, and said with relief: "What is your expression?" It's like something is going on. Don't worry, I'm not here to talk to you about votes. ”

Zhan Zheng originally thought that he could stand on the opposite side of him in a chic manner like Shi Yu betrayed him at the beginning, but when he really stood in that position, he realized that this matter was not as easy as he imagined.

That's right, Zhan Jue promised him before, and he would definitely help him after the matter was completed, but since that person could do something to find Shi Yu to cooperate, how could he guarantee that Zhan Jue would definitely support him?

And he himself is not ignorant of the truth of the cold lips and teeth, since ancient times, the guilty ministers who betrayed the monarch will not have a good end, once Zhan Qi loses power, he will have no protection, if the battle trick unites to rectify him, then he will not even have room to struggle.

So, when he had that voting machine in his hand. He eventually hesitated.

Zhan Zheng pursed his lips, avoiding the dull topic, "Big brother, you...... What's the matter with me? ”

"I'm just here to ask you, what's going on between you and that Xin Tian?" He remembered Song Qingge's eager appearance that night, Xin Tian was one of her few friends, and she must have cared about her in her heart, so he still wanted to help her.

Zhan Zheng didn't expect him to come for this, and after being stunned for a moment, he said in a low voice: "It's nothing, it's just a former mistress, I've had enough fun, I don't want to play anymore." ”

Zhan Qi squinted slightly, looked at him with deep eyes, and finally said: "Qingqing said, that Xin Tian still likes you very much now, if you have the same attitude towards her, it's too late to cancel the engagement banquet now." You should know that the Zhan family is different from the past, and there is no need for anyone to use marriage to bring benefits to the family, if you want to marry the woman you like, no one will criticize you. ”

"She likes me? She's just afraid she likes money, right? Zhan Zheng sneered as he spoke, his eyes full of bursting hatred, "Big brother, there are many things you don't know the real situation, as an outsider, you don't need to say anything." I don't have love for that woman anymore, not to mention that she's married, and it's impossible between us. If you are here to help Song Qingge as a lobbyist today, then you can tell her when you go back, just say that I don't know what to do, and tell her that she doesn't have to worry about it. ”

Zhan Qi just looked at him inquiringly, shook his head and said, "Don't regret it." ”

He is the best example of the past, he was self-righteous and pushed Song Qingge thousands of miles away, but after thousands of sails, he found out that the person he loved was her, but unfortunately her heart was already incomplete and she refused to give it to him again.

Zhan Zheng nodded categorically, "I will never regret it!" ”

"Well, since you've said so, then I don't have much to say." Zhan Qi shrugged his shoulders after saying this, and said: "By the way, you don't need to be under pressure about the company's affairs, you can choose how you want, you can do it according to your inner choice, and you don't have to worry about me." Zhan Jue is in a hurry now, and if I guess correctly, he will definitely ignore the company's regulations, and it will not be long before the board of directors election meeting will be held. ”

Zhan Zheng looked at him in a daze, "Big brother......"

Zhan Qi smiled and patted him lightly on the shoulder twice, "No matter what you choose, it will be my brother after all." ”

After he finished speaking, he turned his head and walked towards his car, pulled the car door and sat down, and soon disappeared in front of Zhan Zheng's eyes.

Sit in the car. Xu Cheng glanced at him from the rearview mirror from his head, endured and endured, and still couldn't help asking, "Big brother, do that what the third young man does...... Don't you really care? ”

Zhan Qi closed his eyes, leaned back in his chair, and smiled self-deprecatingly.

Don't care?

How could it not be cared.

It was his brother who had always regarded him as his life, but in the end, he turned his back on him one after another. It's just that for Zhan Zheng's choice, his heart has already been mentally prepared, after all, even Shi Yu, his own brother, can ignore him, let alone Zhan Zheng's righteous brother?

It's definitely a lie to say that you're not sad, but because you did psychological construction in advance, it didn't show any special obviousness.

Seeing that he was silent for a long time, Xu Cheng also realized that he probably didn't want to mention this issue, so he obediently shut his mouth. After a while, I heard him ask again: "By the way, Ah Cheng, Qingqing's birthday is coming soon, right?" ”

Xu Chenggang wanted to nod, but after thinking about it, didn't he answer so quickly that it meant that he knew Song Qingge very well? With Zhan Qi's possessiveness, it's no wonder if he doesn't skin him.

So he had no choice but to purse his lips and let out a vague "um".

Zhan Qi opened his eyes, looked at the roof of the car, and said to himself: "She has a birthday, what should I prepare for her?" ”

*

When Song Qingge came out of the bathroom after taking a shower, Zhan Qi was sitting on the edge of the bed in a daze, watching her come out with her hair wiped away. Immediately beckoned her, "Come here." ”

She thought that he was going to wipe her hair again, as he had done every day, so she walked over and was about to hand him the towel, but before she could expect him to lean over, wrap his arms around her waist, and bury his face in her arms.

Such a dependent and fragile posture made Song Qingge a little stunned, her hands were raised in the air, she didn't even know where to put them, and it took a long time before she asked at a loss: "What's wrong with you?" Is something wrong with the company? ”

Zhan Qi didn't speak, just hugged her, and asked in a muffled voice: "Qingge, what if I lose my Zhan family and have nothing?" ”

Song Qingge really hadn't thought about this. When he said this, she thought about it seriously, and then said, "Do what you want." ”

Zhan Qi was a little crying and laughing, "What is your solution?" ”

"The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, what is there to worry about? What's more, without the Zhan family, that part of the Song family should still be in your hands, and with your ability, it is not a big problem to make a comeback. ”

His heart warmed, "You just believe in me like that?" ”

She just said, "I just know exactly that you have the strength." ”

Zhan Qi was suddenly silent, and it took a long time before he said in a low voice: "Qingqing, back then...... I'm so sorry. The Song family's property, I can return it to you at any time. ”

Song Qingge smiled bitterly, "Forget it, the Song family is very good in your hands." At the beginning, my father also said that you are a business-minded person, and the Song family is in your hands, and he is also very relieved. On the contrary, if you really hand it over to me, it is estimated that it will not be long before you lose and there will be no scum left. ”

Zhan Qi suddenly felt a little stuffy in his heart, in fact, he had always known that Song Qingtian trusted him. Even if his attitude towards Song Qingge was not good enough at that time, Song Qingtian stubbornly believed that his daughter would not look at the wrong person, so he pressed the happiness of Song Qingge's life on him.

It's just that in the end, he disappointed both father and daughter.

The atmosphere became a little dull for a while, and it took him a long time before he said, "I talked to Zhan Zheng about Xin Tian today. ”

Song Qingge became excited, "Really? What did Zhan Zheng say? Will he be responsible for Tian Tian? ”

Zhan Qi pursed his lips and said in a deep voice: "He said...... He doesn't love Xin Tian anymore, so he will continue with his engagement ceremony. ”

"How could he do that?" Song Qingge immediately stomped his feet angrily, does this man have any sense of responsibility, Xin Tian is pregnant with his child, and he is still ......

"After all, this is a matter between the two of them, I think we should not interfere, you go back and tell Xin Tian, forget about Zhan Zheng."

Song Qingge directly pushed him away, stood in front of him and looked at him condescendingly, and sneered: "Forgot? You men are really easy to say, can this kind of thing be forgotten? At the end of the day, you're all the same people, you don't have a sense of responsibility and you don't know how to love someone! ”

When she said this, Zhan Qi was also a little annoyed, and immediately got up and said angrily: "Song Qingge, don't you overturn a boatload of people with one rod, Zhan Zheng and Xin Tian are their business, don't say it as if all men in this world are like that." ”

Song Qingge also raised his head, not to be outdone, and said, "What, did I say something wrong?" Do you think you're going to fall in love? Oh yes, you do know how to love, I'm afraid you've only loved Bai Ling alone in your life, right? Love is desperate, love is blind and crazy, and even does not hesitate to hurt others! ”

"You!" He looked at the woman in front of him fixedly, tilting his face slightly, with a domineering expression, and the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were full of contempt and disdain for him.

He suddenly thought of the past few days, his dedication and flattery, but he never got her a good face, and it was always the face that rejected people thousands of miles away, which made people sad.

After a while, Zhan Qi suddenly laughed angrily, nodded again and again: "Yes, you're right, I just love Bai Ling, how about it?" Zhan Yi, didn't they tell you a long time ago, I just feel guilty about you, for the sake of you blocking two knives for me, I only wanted to be nice to you during this time, but what about you, it's not bad at all! In that case, why should I be nice to you? ”

When people are angry, they always think about what they say. I just want to have a momentary pleasure, I just want to have the upper hand for a while, but I regret it after I finish it.

is like Wang Shuo's sentence in "Addiction": In the end, we scolded everything, like a pair of enemies who do not share the sky. We knew each other so well that the blades we stabbed at each other were so sharp that they hit each other hard.

Zhan Qi regretted it after speaking, he watched Song Qingge's eyes go cold inch by inch, and finally became cold, and his heart was immediately shocked.

"Qingge......" He stretched out his hand in a little panic, wanting to pull her, but before his fingertips touched her skin, Song Qingge shrank back. Dodged his touch.

"Actually, I know, that's what you've always thought in your heart." Although she was smiling, there was a coldness in her eyes, "Don't worry, I don't want to stay here, when Cui Can's trial is over, I don't need Mr. Zhan to drive me, I will take the child and leave on my own initiative, and I will never get in the way of your eyes again." ”

After she finished speaking, she turned around and walked out, Zhan Qi looked at her back and gritted his teeth in annoyance, and wanted to say something, but when the words came to his lips, he couldn't say anything.

He always can't control his temper, and he can be kind to anyone, but when he comes to her. But it's always easy to expose the worst side of herself in front of her.

Zhan Qi sighed and sat down on the edge of the bed in a heavy manner.

*

After the quarrel that day, the relationship between Song Qingge and Zhan Qi became tense again, she went to the guest room to sleep without making a sound, and even when she ate breakfast in the morning, she was expressionless, and she didn't even raise her eyelids when she saw him.

Zhan Qi didn't know what to say to her, and the relationship that was originally walking on thin ice was torn apart by his time bomb at this moment.

And soon, the day of Zhan Zheng's engagement banquet arrived.

Because he was worried about Xin Tian, the day before Zhan Zheng's engagement, Song Qingge also called Xin Tian and asked her to come out for dinner together, for fear that her mood would be affected.

Xin Tian was also very happy to receive her call, and immediately agreed happily, and said that she was just going to go for a prenatal checkup. I hope Song Qingge can accompany her.

The two made an appointment to meet in the attached hospital, but they didn't see each other for a while, Song Qingge found that Xin Tian had lost a lot of weight, and he was also very unenergetic, and he also brought a pair of big sunglasses, and as soon as he saw her, he immediately greeted her, "Tian Tian." ”

Xin Tian pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled, "You're here." ”

Song Qingge looked her up and down, and said distressedly: "Why is your face so bad?" Is your husband treating you badly? ”

"Nothing, let's go first."

Xin Tian looked around for a while, and after confirming that there was no problem, he pulled Song Qingge and strode towards the hospital.

Song Qingge felt a little strange about her nervousness, and couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?" How do you feel like something isn't quite right? ”

Xin Tian smiled and made an excuse: "It's nothing." It's just that it's a little thin and it's cold outside. ”

Of course she can't tell Song Qingge, Ji Huai'an's people are staring at her all the time, the reason why she can come out is to make an excuse that she wants to visit her grandmother, so Ji Huai'an is willing to let her go out, if Ji Huai'an knows that she is here for a prenatal checkup, then the child will definitely not be saved.

However, Song Qingge didn't know these inside things, and when she heard her cold, she immediately took off her clothes, "Then my coat is for you to wear." ”

"No, I don't care, you can wear it." Xin Tian smiled and hurriedly stopped her.

The doctor was made in advance by her. It was a middle-aged female doctor, and after the examination, the doctor sat at the table and wrote the medical records, and said to her: "The child is still very healthy, but you have been malnourished recently, and the first trimester of pregnancy is the most important, you must pay attention to your body." ”

Xin Tian nodded obediently, "Yes, I know." ”

After taking the B ultrasound, Xin Tian took Song Qingge's hand, and said with a smile as he walked out: "Qingqing, when you knew it, did you feel this way?" ”

Song Qingge looked at the B-ultrasound in her hand. Thinking of the scene when she first found out that she was pregnant, she couldn't help laughing, "Yes, I was just as excited and scared as you at that time." It's like having armor, and it's like having a weakness, and the whole person has become different. ”

Xin Tian glanced up at her, "Next to the attached courtyard is we are tall, let's go sit down." ”

"Okay."

Song Qingge took her arm, and the two walked towards their former alma mater.

The original school has changed, and after the two of them walked into the schoolyard, they found a place to sit on the playground.

Some students are playing soccer on the playground, and they look at those energetic high school boys, and they unconsciously think of their past selves. Xin Tian smiled, and suddenly said: "Qingqing, do you remember, when we were in high school before, there was a boy from the sports team who chased you, and then he had to block the door of the toilet, you were very timid at that time, so you would only hide behind others." In the end, I told Brother Xu Cheng, and he came forward to beat the boy before he knew how difficult it was to retreat. ”

Song Qingge couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips, "Of course I remember, at that time, the people in the school said that you and Brother Cheng are like my left and right protectors, and you will follow me wherever I go." ”

Xin Tian looked into the distance and said faintly: "How good that time was, if only time could stay at that time forever and not move forward." ”

Song Qingge turned his head to look at her, her once stubborn and cold eyes have now become fragile and weak, Xin Tian's family background is not good, so she has always been very strong, and her studies are always the top three in the class. At that time, she accepted the sponsorship of the Song family, and sometimes she was still studying in the middle of the night, Song Qingtian asked her why she worked so hard, she only said that she was afraid that she would embarrass Uncle Song if she did not study well.

And now, her Xin Tian has become like this.

She suddenly felt very distressed about such Xin Tian, her eyes were sour, and she asked after a while: "Tian Tian, what is going on between you and Zhan Zheng?" ”

Xin Tian smiled indifferently, "It's nothing, it's a very simple relationship, I'm a prostitute, he's a prostitute, it's as simple as that." ”

Song Qingge couldn't help frowning, "Don't talk nonsense!" ”

She didn't believe that Xin Tian would be this kind of person.

"I didn't lie to you, what I said was true." Xin Tian turned his head to look at her, his eyes were full of calmness, "When I was studying in the United States, I owed a lot of tuition fees, so I worked as a young lady in a nightclub owned by a Chinese for a while. But I only sat on the stage, and never came out of the stage. At that time, Zhan Zheng was the brigade commander of the peacekeeping force, and once they came to a nightclub to have fun, they met me. ”

She still remembered how she and Zhan Zheng looked when they first met, he was wearing casual casual clothes, but he stood out among the swarthy soldiers.

The men of the peacekeeping troops stationed abroad had not tasted meat for several years, and in that nightclub, they saw those beautiful Chinese female students and immediately pounced on them with bright eyes.

In the crowd, only Zhan Zheng sat there expressionlessly, as if all the people and things had nothing to do with him.

The girls had already found their own objects to serve, but she sat there alone, neither advancing nor retreating, and at last she had to muster up the courage to lean towards the indifferent man.

Zhan Zheng looked her up and down. He asked lightly, "What's your name?" ”

"Xin...... Xin Tian. ”

"How old are you?"

"Twenty."

He looked at her and suddenly chuckled, "So small? Developed? ”

Xin Tian suddenly felt as if he had been insulted, and said angrily: "Of course it's developed!" ”

"Now that you're well developed, follow me and be my woman." With that, he dragged her straight upstairs to the room.

That was Xin Tian's first time, when he cut open her flesh and broke in, her tears of pain fell, but she bit her lip and refused to snort.

In this way, she became Zhan Zheng's mistress, he needed someone to relieve his physical needs, and she needed money to pay for tuition and treat her grandmother.

But things gradually derailed later, and the two got along deeper and deeper. Xin Tian fell in love with the cold and alert man.

She would wear his wide military shirt and cook for him in his rental house, and when there was no assignment in the army, they would also take a bourgeoisie to Hawaii or Las Vegas for a vacation.

That is, in the sea-view room in Hawaii, Zhan Zheng kissed her deeply, gasped in her ear and said: "Tian Tian, you wait for me, when my peacekeeping mission is over, we will get married when we return to China." ”

She never thought that Zhan Zheng would promise her marriage, so when she heard these two words, she couldn't help crying, her hands on his shoulders, and he rose and fell with him.

From an inglorious and even somewhat despicable relationship. In the end, she developed into a normal boyfriend and girlfriend, Xin Tian always thought that she could go on like this with Zhan Zheng forever, but the truth was always much crueler than she thought.

Song Qingge couldn't bear to look at her, his eyes were full of distress, "Tian Tian ......"

Xin Tian just smiled and patted the back of her hand gently, "I'm fine, it's really okay, it's all over, isn't it?" ”

Song Qingge looked at her uneasily, and it took a long time before he said, "By the way, Zhan Zheng is going to get engaged tomorrow, this matter is ...... You know what? ”

Xin Tian's eyes fluctuated. In the end, he nodded easily, "I know, what's wrong?" ”

"What about you...... There's not much to say? ”

"What do I have to say? Isn't it a matter of course for men to get married and women to get married? Otherwise, do you want him to wait for me for the rest of my life? He's not that kind of person. ”

"......"

"Qingqing, I know what you want to say." Xin Tian patted the back of her hand and smiled comfortingly, "But we can't go back, this child, I will give birth to it well, as for Zhan Zheng, who he wants to marry, that's his business." It has nothing to do with me. After I go back, I will divorce Ji Huai'an, and then find a stable place to give birth to the child. ”

She had already said so, and Song Qingge knew that it would be useless for her to say anything, so she had to nod, "Then if you have any needs, you must tell me." ”

"yes, okay."

The two stayed until they were getting westward before they separated, Xin Tian casually stopped a taxi on the side of the road, and before getting into the car, she turned around and smiled and said to Song Qingge: "If I give birth to a son in the future, let's get married, okay?" Don't dislike sibling love. ”

Song Qingge just smiled, watched the sunset plating a layer of gold on her, nodded and said, "Okay." ”

After Xin Tian finished speaking, she got in the car and left, she watched the taxi carrying her only friend drift away, many years later, Song Qingge recalled the scene under the sunset, regretting that she didn't leave Xin Tian behind, just watching her step by step towards despair.
