Chapter Seventy-Four: Alone
After Jiang Chen returned to Qianhe, he sat alone in the courtyard for a long time, without eating or talking, and was in a daze.
He felt that his mind had been in a mess until he heard the sound of crickets in the grass, and his hearing seemed to come back.
The old lady didn't know what was wrong with him, and he didn't pay attention to what he asked.
"Xiaochen, what's going on with you today? What time is it? Still sitting outside? ”
"Grandma, I don't want to be in Yanjing anymore."
"I don't want to be in Yanjing, so where do you want to go?"
"It's good to go anywhere, it's best where no one is around."
"Don't want a job?"
"Don't."
"What about Mincho?"
"Divided."
"What?!" The old lady thought she was old, and behind her ears, she asked, "What did you just say?" ”
"We're divided."
"Why? She is such a good girl, why don't you know to cherish it? Hurry up and find her! Get her back! ”
"Grandma, I can't be with her, I have the trouble of the Jiang family behind me, I can't give her the stable life she wants, I will only bring distress to her, she will not be happy with me."
When the old lady understood that it was the Jiang family who was making a hindrance, she was so angry that she stomped her feet.
"Jiang Zhili, Jiang Zhili, he has harmed my daughter, and now he doesn't even let go of my grandson, is he still a person?"
"Don't be angry grandma, it's good for us to live like this, just like before, depending on each other."
Just like before, isolated and solitary, lonely and peaceful.
After Jiang Chen finished speaking, when he came into the house, he took out the wool and continued to weave the shawl, which was almost finished, but he didn't have a chance to give it to her, but he just wanted to finish knitting.
Even if it's sent to her secretly.
The old lady looked at it and sighed, such two good people couldn't escape the arrangement of fate.
If there are bodhisattvas in the world, can they open their eyes and let them be together without worry?
Lu Mingqiao didn't know where she was going home, she kept replaying the scene just now in her mind, she said it's divided, he said okay.
Just keep repeating these two sentences.
And then the two of them split up like that?
She felt that she had no strength in her body, and she didn't know what to do to feel better.
In the end, she flipped out the melatonin and ate a slice, not for anything else, she just wanted to fall asleep quickly, she didn't know if she would have an emotional breakdown if she stayed like this.
She really can't bear the current state, and just wants to let her mind empty and stop any imagination.
Lu Mingqiao, who finished eating melatonin, fell asleep on the sofa in a daze.
But when I woke up in the middle of the night, it turned out that people who had something on their minds, sleeping pills didn't work.
The emotions that should be beared, not a little less painful, she was unusually awake in the dead of night.
It seemed to be raining outside the window, and all the furnishings in the house were the same as when she came back from work, and the lights were still on.
A huge sense of loss surged in his heart, and Lu Mingqiao finally cried loudly.
She could always remember him and say, I'm here, I'll always be there.
But now, he's gone.
Will this person who restrains her never appear in her life again in the future?
She hated herself, really, really.
Growing up, she always felt that she was a brave person, but this time, she became a deserter.
The blood in my heart is surging, there is unwillingness, but more helplessness.
She is also very angry, why at this age, she met an unforgettable love, a person who can't take it and can't let it go.
She stayed groggy until dawn, until the sun rose, and she got up and cleaned up and went to work again.
Even if there is a tsunami in my heart, every time I step out of the house, I have to play the role of an emotionally stable adult.
This is probably what adult life looks like, no matter how bad the mood is, she can't stop and grieve uncontrollably, because there are still many things waiting for her to deal with.
As soon as she came to the company, Xu Huihui came to her: "Sister Qiao, Secretary Yu contacted me yesterday and said that she would accompany Mr. Wang to the company today to discuss cooperation." ”
"Well, let's get the contract ready." Lu Mingqiao nodded.
As soon as she put the bag down, she habitually looked at her phone, and there was no message from him.
"Sister Qiao, Mr. Wang is here." Xu Huihui took the contract and reminded her at the door.
"Take them to the conference room."
Xu Huihui took Mr. Wang and Secretary Yu to the conference room, Mr. Wang walked all the way, looking at this not a small company, it turned out that it took so many people to make a platform, and he originally planned to build a website, and he suddenly dispelled the idea, how much salary do so many people have to offer?
However, is Lu Mingqiao very courageous? I'm not afraid that I won't be able to do it, I think if he hadn't given Lu Mingqiao equity discount and performance sharing, would she have been able to afford to start a company?
"What about Lu Mingqiao? Why haven't you come yet? Didn't she know I was coming? Mr. Wang asked.
"Our Mr. Lu is very busy, and there are many people who come to talk about cooperation with the platform, not just you." Xu Huihui shot back unceremoniously.
"Hey, Xu Huihui, how do you talk?"
"Is there anything wrong with me talking like that? You're not my boss. ”
"You ......."
"What are you talking about? So happy? Mr. Wang, Secretary Yu, I haven't seen you for a long time. At this time, Lu Mingqiao entered the conference room.
She put on a light makeup, and just looked in the mirror in the office, she found that her face was ugly after staying up for half a night, and after putting on makeup, if she didn't look carefully, she couldn't see the faint dark circles under her eyes.
"Lu Mingqiao, you are quite arrogant, your employees are not polite to me at all, and you still make me wait for so long?" Mr. Wang said.
"I didn't let you wait for a long time, and it didn't take more than ten minutes in total, and my employees spoke like this, we will be polite if you are polite, you are not polite, we can't bear it, and we need to give each other face."
"Lu Mingqiao!" Mr. Wang slapped the table.
"Do you think I'm coming to you, you're awesome?"
"It's good that you understand, I thought you didn't know that you came to ask for cooperation."
"Mr. Wang, Mr. Lu, don't quarrel yet." Secretary Yu persuaded.
"I have known people for so many years, and there is still some affection, let go of those unpleasantness, this time we must cooperate for a win-win situation."
After listening to Secretary Yu's words, Lu Mingqiao smiled and said, "It's still Secretary Yu who speaks comfortably." ”
"I've also heard about your company, and the live broadcast sales have been messed up, and a batch of inventory has been backlogged."
"Yes, so we want to put the product on the Qiao Yiqiao platform for distribution." Secretary Yu said.
"Yes, this is a contract, if you don't think you have any opinions, just sign it." Lu Mingqiao pushed the contract in front of Mr. Wang.
Mr. Wang picked it up and looked at it, and then he got angry again.
"You're going to take half of the profits?"
"Yes."
"Lu Mingqiao, are you heartfelt?" Mr. Wang asked.
"If you have an opinion about this share, you can not sign it."
"Are you too dark? You don't want to think, if it weren't for me, would you be able to open a company? If you don't know how to be grateful, you still want to kill your old club? ”
"In the past, your company went offline, sold directly to customers, and the profits were all yours, which is the so-called vertical A to B model, but now it has changed, not this model, there is one more middleman between A and B, you don't directly face customers, you only provide products, and our platform realizes sales, so you say, we don't want money as a middleman, do you help in vain? As you can see, it takes so many people to make a platform. Lu Ming Qiao said with a smile.
"Where did you get your face to be split in half?"
Lu Mingqiao was not in a good mood, she was too lazy to talk nonsense with Mr. Wang, and said directly: "I said it very clearly, don't sign if you are not satisfied, I don't have time to break with you, let's come back after thinking about it." ”
With that, she got up to leave.
"Lu Mingqiao, you slut......." Mr. Wang was furious.
Secretary Yu saw that the situation was not right, so he hurriedly pulled Mr. Wang and persuaded: "Mr. Wang, you can't talk like that, we are here to cooperate." ”
"Look at her, she's so fucking deceitful!"
"Mr. Lu, can you discuss the matter of profit commission again?"
"No, it's just half, sign if you agree, don't sign if you don't agree, no one forces you." Lu Mingqiao's attitude was very resolute.
"Lu Mingqiao, you did it on purpose! Don't think it's great that you have such a platform, a small company that has just started, I want to cure you, and there is a way! Don't get too carried away! I also let you know that bosses are not so easy to be. ”
These words can be regarded as completely touching Lu Mingqiao's scales, she hates threats very much, and she was warned by Lin Ning yesterday, and she can't do anything.
Now Mr. Wang is clamoring to deal with her company, she is so soft-spoken, isn't she nothing?
Is it anyone who can pinch her?
"I think you may not have adapted to the change of our identity, I am not your subordinate now, you are not my boss, and what do you mean by the money you give me, it is my own earning, not my free taking! I also told you, just this chance, sign if you can, don't come after you don't sign, I really don't want to do your business. ”
"Also, you want to get my company? You go, if you don't go, don't call Wang Youquan, call yourself a bastard instead! ”
When Mr. Wang heard this, he stood up suddenly, and as soon as he opened his mouth, Lu Mingqiao said to Xu Huihui: "Call the police, there is a madman here." ”
Secretary Yu saw that the battle was escalating, and he dragged Mr. Wang out of Qiao Yiqiao.
He was still a little puzzled, Lu Mingqiao was generally good at calming people's anger, why was he so angry today, and he directly scolded Mr. Wang.
Although Xu Huihui felt very relieved, especially Mr. Wang, who was estimated to be half angry when she went back this time, which was really happy, she also felt that Sister Qiao was very angry today, and she didn't leave any room for speech, unlike her usual style.
Usually no matter how big things happen, her emotions never get out of control, but today she looks a little excited.
"Sister Qiao, will you anger Mr. Wang like this, and will he find someone to retaliate?" Xu Huihui was a little worried.
"What are you afraid of, is it possible that he can still come to the door to smash and rob? He didn't dare. ”
"But he's a villain, it's not good for you to get in a hurry, don't go out alone recently, let Mr. Jiang pick you up from work." Xu Huihui proposed, she didn't know they had broken up.
After hearing this, Lu Mingqiao was stunned for a moment, he would not come to pick her up from work in the future.
went back to his office in silence, and as soon as he came in, he clicked on his phone to see that there was still nothing about Jiang Chen.
Wouldn't that be great? Don't know what else to expect?
Isn't it more helpful for the relationship between the two of them to be clean and neat in this way.
Lu Mingqiao lay on the table, back to the state he was in when he came in the morning, without any energy.
On Conway's side, Jiang Chen didn't come to work early in the morning.
Lin Ning saw that Jiang Chen didn't come, and he was very uncertain, the two of them wouldn't go to get the certificate regardless of it, right?
She sent a message to Jiang Chen, but he didn't reply.
When I was about to go to the experimental center, I happened to run into Professor Qin.
"Professor, did Jiang Chen take a leave of absence today? Why didn't you come? ”
"He's not coming." Professor Qin's face was solemn, and he received a message of Jiang Chen's resignation in the morning.
"Not coming? What is the meaning? Lin Ning's heart tightened.
"He told me he was quitting."
"Resign?!" Lin Ning never expected him to resign, why did he resign?
"Why?"
"I don't know, I don't answer my calls, I don't reply to my messages."
"He's the main person in charge of the project, how can he resign at this time? It's no joke. Lin Ning said that so many investors and investment institutions really dare not imagine the consequences.
"He said that no matter how much loss there is, no matter how serious it is, he will not come, and let me go and ask his dad for money." Professor Qin shook his head.
He understands Jiang Chen, and when it comes to this, it shows that he has made up his mind.
"So what do we do now?"
"I was about to go to Jiang Zhili to ask if he had put any pressure on his son again."
Professor Qin left the company after speaking, and Lin Ning was also a little flustered, how did he do it, instead of breaking up the two of them, he resigned Jiang Chen?
Jiang Zhili heard that Professor Qin was coming to him, so he hurriedly arranged a reception.
"Professor Qin, why do you have time to come to me? Could it be that Xiaochen has something? "He and Qin Wenzhi should have been two people who have no intersection, one is in business and the other is in learning, and they have nothing to deal with, but Jiang Chen is involved in the middle, so they have been coming and going with each other a lot recently.
"Chairman Jiang, this is the purpose of my visit to you, I want to ask, what did you let Jiang Chen do? Why did he resign in a good way? Do you know how serious it is to tell me not to do such a big project? It's not just about losing a little money. ”
"Resign?" Jiang Zhili was even more surprised.
Professor Qin looked at Jiang Zhili with an unaware look, and couldn't help but sigh, businessmen are just not ordinary, is this acting too realistic? It's like I don't know.
"Jiang Dong, don't play Tai Chi with me, don't say you don't know, except for you, no one can influence him, although some things I said are inappropriate, because after all, it is your family matter, but I still want to say it today, Jiang Chen is very good, can you not bury him? When his project is completed, won't your Jiang family have a bright face? Why do you have to force him? ”
"Wait, Professor Qin." Jiang Zhili interrupted: "I don't know about Xiao Chen's resignation, so I'll ask him." ”
He dialed Jiang Chen, but he didn't answer there.
"This kid doesn't answer the phone."
"I'll go to him, I also pay close attention to his project, after all, this is a great research and development, and it will also help him go home in the future, and he has something that can calm people, which is also his own achievement, I have no reason to force him to resign." Jiang Zhili explained.
"You really don't know?" Now it's Professor Qin's turn to be surprised, and the Jiang family doesn't do anything to him, so what's wrong with him?
"I really don't know, I'm going to ask him about it."
The two of them took the elevator down together, and Professor Qin planned to follow along.
When I arrived in Qianhe, I happened to see Jiang Chen bundling cardboard boxes, and all the bundled cartons were stacked onto the truck.
"Xiaochen, why are you doing this?" Jiang Zhili was very heartbroken when he saw Jiang Chen doing these dirty jobs.
"I've been doing it for more than 20 years, do you know? That's how we lived. Jiang Chen said.
"Come and help!" Jiang Zhili is called a secretary.
"I don't need to." Jiang Chen refused, and after he finally loaded it, he was about to get into the car when he was stopped by Professor Qin.
"Jiang Chen, don't pit the teacher, why don't you go to the company and tell me the reason."
"Yes, Xiaochen, why did you suddenly stop doing what you were doing?" Jiang Zhili also asked.
Jiang Chen glanced at Jiang Zhili and said, "I told you, don't look for Lu Mingqiao, how did you do it?" ”
"Huh!" He sneered and said, "I actually believed your words, I really deserve it." ”
"Lu Mingqiao? I didn't look for her. Jiang Zhili said.
"Don't pretend, don't get in the way here, I'm going to deliver scrap." Jiang Chen opened the car door and prepared to go up.
"You come down for me!" Jiang Zhili dragged him down and said, "What happened? I didn't go to her! ”
Jiang Chen was dragged to a stumbling side, he stood upright, pulled the crooked clothes again, and said, "Why are you so hypocritical?" Don't dare to admit it? If you hadn't looked for her, would she have known that I was going abroad? Can you know that you arranged a marriage for me Lin Ning, and you also know that I will go with Lin Ning? Jiang Zhili, Jiang Zhili, these things you arranged for me, except for going abroad, I don't even know about anything else, you talk about one thing and go behind your back! ”
When Professor Qin heard this, he persuaded: "Dong Jiang, what age is this?" Why is it so simple and rude to deal with emotional matters? ”
"You listen to my advice, although I haven't met Lu Mingqiao, but I don't think this girl can be wrong, if it weren't for her, Jiang Chen wouldn't have thought of doing this project, good feelings will urge people to forge ahead, the two of them are so positive and hard-working, why did you break them up?"
"You know what the butterfly effect is, right? How many reactions do you have to think of this action? ”
Jiang Zhili understood what the problem was, he didn't go to Lu Mingqiao, but Lin Ning couldn't hold his breath, she must have gone to Lu Mingqiao and said something.
"Xiaochen, you really misunderstood me this time, I promised you that you wouldn't stop you, so I definitely wouldn't trouble her, I really didn't go to her."
"It doesn't matter." Jiang Chen didn't want to hear his explanation.
"We're divided."
"When I went to do this project, I wanted to marry her, I wanted to buy our own house, and then live with her, but now that it's divided, I don't need to buy it, so naturally I don't need this job, it doesn't matter if I live by myself, I can sleep in the bridge hole."
"I won't go abroad either, I'm separated from her, you should be more merciful, don't go to trouble others, it's unreasonable."
The project is not done, the country is not out, and the girlfriend is also divided, and she is alone.
