Chapter 59: Near the Abyss (3)
Lin Yuan saw that Haozhe took the initiative to ask his thoughts, and knew that this would be a long conversation. With Haozhe's shrewdness, he will not trust others easily, and he can only do it with all his might. What he wants is to escape from this misplaced marriage, and at this time Haozhe's side is crucial.
He had heard Jinyu mention that the uninvited guests on the day the restaurant opened were the heirs of the Yiqi Financial Investment Company, which was to withdraw from Sun's Financial. He guessed that the reason for Mr. Ji's sudden withdrawal must be Jinyu. Haozhe, as the main person in charge of matching Yiqi Finance, in order to maintain his status and prestige in Sun's Finance, will try his best to meet the requirements of Mr. Ji.
On the one hand, there are people who take the initiative to express their intention to give up their marriage with Jin Yu, and on the other hand, there are people who are unpredictable and eyeing Jin Yu, and who stands in the same place with the outside world, Lin Yuan knows that Hao Zhe can weigh the weight clearly.
Lin Yuan made a pot of hot tea and poured a cup for Haozhe and himself. Lin Yuan sent the poured hot tea to Hao Zhe, who was polite but didn't take it.
Lin Yuan was not annoyed, put the teacup in front of Haozhe, picked up his cup and drank it all in one go: "What I wanted, I never got it." ”
Haozhe smiled: "You are an interesting person, the first time I saw you, I thought you were different from others." What you want is not money, not love, do you only want freedom? ”
Lin Yuan nodded very seriously.
"Then what's the use of you looking for me, I'm just a fairly faceless employee of the Sun family, and I am not related to the Sun family, and I can't intervene in their family affairs. Do you think that by wooing me, you can achieve the life you want? ”
Lin Yuan said: "I know, you can't do anything about my marriage with Jinyu. But there is one thing that you can help yourself, by the way, help me. ”
"What's the matter?"
"Do you know why Yiqi Financial's Ji Ye Cheng Ji Ji wants to withdraw his capital?"
Haozhe shook his head: "Ji Yecheng is a cunning person, and the official reason he gave to the company must not be his purpose." But I don't understand, what does Ji Yecheng have to do with your marriage. ”
"Because of Jin Yu," Lin Yuan said, pouring a new cup of hot tea, regardless of the steam, swallowed heavily, "Ji Yecheng's target is Jin Yu, I don't know if he has feelings for Jin Yu, I think he is hostile to my marriage with Jin Yu, so he came back to disturb my opening, and this matter can be seen to be aimed at me." In addition, from Chairman Sun's words, I can hear that he has long expected Ji Yecheng's withdrawal. ”
Haozhe was a little surprised when he heard Lin Yuan call Sun Xiongzhi Chairman Sun: "Chairman Sun? You said, your father-in-law expected Ji Yecheng to sabotage your opening, so why didn't he tell you and let you guard Ji Yecheng? ”
"Chairman Sun is not optimistic about me at all, maybe my opening is disrupted, and he will also feel happy. With the support of Chairman Sun, Ji Yecheng will naturally do things much more smoothly. ”
"What does this have to do with me?"
Lin Yuan smiled: "Only you can help me." It is impossible for Ji Yecheng not to have any thoughts about Jinyu, otherwise he would not have made more trouble at the opening ceremony with the secret acquiescence of Chairman Sun. The only reason that makes sense is that he is interested in Jinyu and sees me as a thorn in his side. I had no intention of competing with you for Jinyu, Ji Yecheng's family background and ability are stronger than yours, and he is your opponent. ”
Haozhe grinned lightly: "You are sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight." Stir up contradictions between us, and then sit back and reap the benefits? ”
"Do you see that I had any ambitions from beginning to end? I hope we work together and help each other. If you think I'm profitable, then I'm trying to get out of marriage. ”
With Haozhe's caution, he would never agree to this matter immediately, he looked around the simply decorated general manager's room, and finally found the topic to shift, "What about this restaurant, don't you want anything from this marriage?" ”
Lin Yuan reluctantly looked at the furnishings in the room, which he had personally arranged little by little, he didn't like to be lively, so he used all the simple office supplies. He rubbed the corner of the sofa: "I want it, this place is my heart's work, and the only thing I can't bear is here." ”
"If you want a divorce, the Sun family will not let you continue to run the restaurant. You don't want anything, and in the end you have nothing but freedom. The Sun family will continue to run the restaurant for you, and they will have no influence except for one less son-in-law. And the vacancy of this son-in-law, there are still people who can top it. ”
Lin Yuan smiled bitterly and shook his head: "No, if I leave, I won't be able to take the restaurant with me, and the restaurant won't be able to do it for long." ”
Haozhe was puzzled, Lin Yuan dared to say this, he must have a plan, but his eyes revealed a desire to find out.
Lin Yuan replied without asking: "At the beginning, I had a recipe for our Yue family's meal in my hand, and Jinyu didn't think of taking possession of it from me, but Chairman Sun didn't think so, he once forced me to hand over the recipe." Chairman Sun, who has always been stubborn, will agree to Jinyu marrying me, all in order to get this dish. ”
"Did you give it to the chairman?"
"Nope." Lin Yuan pointed to his head, "The main secret of the recipe is in the mind, not on the paper. Even if they get it, they can only get a shell. I became the son-in-law of the Sun family, and they couldn't get my prescription, but I also had it in name. In order to make me feel at ease and Jinyu to become husband and wife, Chairman Sun exchanged the restaurant, although the management right is in me, but the ownership of the store is in Sun's. In this way, even if they can't get the food recipe, they can still get the benefits that the restaurant brings to them, and use me to help them open up Sun's path in the catering industry. ”
Haozhe nodded understandingly: "I know, this is the style of the chairman." You can't get used to him, he's your father-in-law, but you call him chairman like us. ”
Lin Yuan said: "I have never regarded him as my father-in-law, and every danger I have faced is all due to him. ”
"Danger?" Haozhe let out a cold voice as if he was laughing through his nose, "When will I be able to experience this danger of yours?" ”
Lin Yuan didn't leave him again, and stood up: "You go back and think about it again." Come to me when you think about it, this place will always be open for you. ”
Haozhe got up and said to Lin Yuan, "I hope you know that if I choose to help you, it will definitely not be for you." These days, please be kind to Jinyu. She's already trying to please you. ”
Lin Yuan closed the office door and sat down on the sofa.
He closed his eyes, and what came to his mind was the attic, where no one was seen, and the silence of death. Except for the fact that someone ate three meals a day and bathed him once every three days, the rest of the time, no one came. When loneliness almost drove him crazy, he could only talk to himself, filling the gaps in the room with echoes.
During the time he saw the light of day, he lost all concept of time, and he didn't know how long he had been experiencing this pain of loneliness.
After the black and white reversal was confused, he thought that he was about to be completely separated from human society.
After returning to human society again and regaining his consciousness of time and black and white, he became Jinyu's groom, and then, became the protagonist of a marriage.
