43 It's always yours to die
Ling Yanyu works in Ling's family, he doesn't enjoy any privileges on the surface, he clocks in and works overtime like ordinary employees, and Ling Yanchen rarely lets him go to the office alone, which is quite a sense of avoiding suspicion. But everyone knows that he is Mr. Ling's younger brother and the second-in-command of the company's future.
In the sales department, ordinary colleagues will ingratiate themselves with Ling Yanyu intentionally or unintentionally, and the manager is also very polite to him. This also led to the fact that he was sitting in the café, and after Yan Zhen left, he was alone until almost four o'clock in the afternoon before returning to the department, and the manager did not contact him, just pretended not to see it.
The current Ling Yanyu can be described as in a dilemma, and it is not an exaggeration to say that heaven and man are at war, especially after he has just come into contact with Yan Zhen, he can't ignore the beautiful changes of the other party.
Ling Yanyu hesitated and hesitated, and even made him suddenly have such a thought-it would be good if he hadn't met Su Yiqiu, if he hadn't met her, he wouldn't have liked her, then he didn't have to be so entangled now, he and Yan Zhen might have been smoothly preparing to get married.
After the initial enthusiasm retreated, Ling Yanyu would be afraid of trouble, he would be afraid of falling into a dilemma, and he began to miss the original simplicity extraordinarily. Sometimes, it's better to have a choice than not to have a choice, and not having a choice doesn't upset him so much.
As soon as Ling Yanyu returned to his office seat and sat down, he heard his colleagues in the sales department chatting.
A colleague held a coffee cup and sighed: "The world is really impermanent, and I was very envious of Yu Yue at that time, I could not only go back to my hometown, but also have such a good future." You must know that most of us people choose to return to our hometown, maybe everything has to start from scratch, and the salary level is not even one-fifth of that in S City, now think about it, how easy it is to go back to our hometown. ”
When Ling Yanyu heard his colleague mention Yu Yue, he casually asked, "What's wrong with Yu Yue?" When he first came to the sales department, he had a good relationship with Yu Yue, but now that he recalls that Yu Yue chased Yan Zhen, his mood is a little delicate.
Another colleague saw that Ling Yanyu was interested in this topic, and immediately replied: "The subsidiary over there has just been established, and the general manager is the son of a shareholder. After all, Yu Yue was only the person in charge of the sales department who was sent over, and no matter how big the official was, he couldn't compare to the general manager at the top of the subsidiary, and the two fought for a long time, and Yu Yue was finally dismissed. Yu Yue's temperament was too tough, and he didn't write an email to the head office to report the situation, so he left directly, angry and wanted to find a job again with his own ability, but he never found a suitable one. Later, his father ran around trying to find someone to try, but his father had a car accident on the road, and the situation was very serious, and he is still living in the ICU. ”
Ling Yanyu was very surprised when he heard this, he didn't expect Yu Yue to have such a rough time recently.
The colleague said again: "Yu Yue is really unlucky, it has not been smooth since he was transferred back, if he stays in S City, where will there be so many bad things?" When I contacted him two days ago, he said that the driver who caused the accident refused to compensate, but fortunately he still has a house and a car to mortgage, and now he can barely hold on. He said that he would engage in crowdfunding when he couldn't hold it anymore. ”
Ling Yanyu sighed and said, "When he engages in crowdfunding, you will notify me." After all, he wanted to donate some money to Yu Yue, which could be regarded as fulfilling his affection as a colleague.
After saying this, Ling Yanyu fell into his emotions again, as for Yu Yue, it was not what he cared about the most now, they were just ordinary colleagues.
When he was about to get off work, Ling Yanyu's mobile phone rang, and it was Su Yiqiu calling. How happy he was when he received Su Yiqiu's call before, and how embarrassed he was now. He knew the purpose of Su Yiqiu's call, and now the company was ready to do everything and only owed Dongfeng the funds to him, but he didn't know how to talk about his difficulties.
Ling Yanyu understood that it was not a way to dodge all the time, he still had to talk to his eldest brother.
He thought about it, and he wanted to make it clear to his eldest brother that he would no longer mess around, would no longer propose to cancel the marriage contract, and would no longer do anything that would embarrass his family. When he helped Su Yiqiu this time, he would take care of himself, and no longer have any more than friends with Su Yiqiu, he would get back together with Yan Zhen, and even prepare for the wedding according to the previous plan.
Ling Yanyu cleared his thoughts, made up his mind, and finally dialed Ling Yanchen's phone. It took a long time for the other end to pick it up, and a deep male voice came: "Something?" ”
Ling Yanyu was extremely panicked in his heart, but he still mustered up the courage to say, "Big brother, do you have time at night?" I'd like to talk to you about it. He thought for a moment and added, "Talk about me and Yan Zhen." He knew that the eldest brother was very disgusted with the matter between him and Su Yiqiu, so he used Yan Zhen as an excuse, thinking that the eldest brother would not easily refuse.
When Ling Yanchen received Ling Yanyu's call, he was sitting in the car back to Ling's house, and Yan Zhen was beside him. He subconsciously glanced sideways at Yan Zhen, she didn't care about the call, just focused on enjoying the scenery outside the car window, and her side face was quiet and beautiful.
"Hmm." Ling Yanchen replied in a cold tone.
Ling Yanyu asked again: "Big brother, where are you going to eat at night, do you want to be together?" ”
Ling Yanchen knew that things had to be resolved, so he replied truthfully: "I'm on my way home, and I have dinner at home." ”
"Okay then." Ling Yanyu thought for a while, "I'm getting ready to get off work, I'm going back to eat dinner, let's find a place to talk after dinner." ”
Ling Yanyu felt that he was making a huge sacrifice, he had already decided to "turn back to the shore", hoping that the eldest brother would agree to his request. He really didn't want to disappoint Su Yiqiu, and he didn't want to lose his trust in her.
Ling Yanchen responded lightly and hung up the phone.
Ling Yanchen wanted to balance the relationship between him and Yanyu, but Yan Zhen liked Yan Yu, and when he liked Yan Zhen, this triangular relationship was formed, and Yan Yu was no longer just his younger brother, but also a rival in love.
Jealousy grows and spreads wildly day by day. Ling Yanchen could feel that now his hostility towards his rival in love had faintly surpassed his affection for his younger brother. This made him can't help but feel self-loathing, but he has unconsciously sunk into the unilateral feelings that Yan Zhen can't ask for, and he can't extricate himself.
In the animal world, the family affection between males is weak, and it is instinctive to snatch survival resources and mates, not only between brothers, but even between fathers and sons, in the battlefield of struggle, it is always life and death.
The most obvious difference between humans and animals is that humans are bound by morality and feelings. However, the human world, although there is no frontal conflict, is more cruel on other levels.
Ling Yanchen flipped through the photo album on his mobile phone, and there was only one photo in it that was taken today. In the photo, Yan Zhen's slender back, looking up at the blue sky among the green grass, there is a beautiful rainbow faintly on the horizon.
Ling Yanchen wanted to delete this photo, but after hesitating for a long time, he couldn't press OK, and finally saved it. He clutched his mobile phone tightly, knowing that it was wrong for him to go on like this, Yanyu showed signs of a change of heart, this is the best result for Yan Zhen, then he should also return to his original position and be a good big brother. He persuaded himself over and over again.
I don't know what kind of psychology it is, Ling Yanchen suddenly asked Yan Zhen: "You said you wanted to go to the sales department before, do you want to go now?" ”
Ling Yanchen couldn't control himself, so he wanted Yan Zhen to stay away from him, so that he couldn't see it out of sight and was not bothered, maybe time would make him forget. The idea popped into his head and he blurted it out. Maybe one day when Yan Zhen and Yeonwoo reconcile as before, and even hold a wedding, he will be able to completely close his heart.
But as soon as the words came out, Ling Yanchen regretted it. He has become capricious recently, and it was him who asked Yan Zhen if he wanted to go to the sales department, but he immediately regretted it and wanted to take back what he had just said. It's hard to recover when it's covered with water, so how can you take back what you say?
Ling Yanchen's brows were tightly locked, and the hand that was casually placed on his knee clenched into a fist.
Yan Zhen thought that her ears were hallucinating, otherwise why would she hear such words? Ling Yanchen, the eldest brother, is really well-intentioned, he must really hope that she and Ling Yanyu will stop being demons, after all, Ling Yanyu has a hole in his brain, and if he has to cancel the marriage contract, it will have an impact on the Ling family and even the Ling family. In order to reconcile her and Ling Yanyu, Ling Yanchen actually abandoned her principle of distinguishing between public and private, and let her choose to transfer from the secretary department to the sales department, which is unprecedented, what a good brother in China!
It's just that she would rather retire in the secretary department, and she doesn't want to go to the sales department at all, she doesn't miss Ling Yanyu at all, not to mention that she has heard all kinds of rumors before, the sales department is not as harmonious and peaceful as the secretary department, for Ling Yanyu, it is about to evolve into a palace scheming, if she goes to the sales department again...... Just thinking about it, she couldn't help but light a candle for herself.
In order to inherit the property and become a rich woman, Yan Zhen has wronged herself as a licking dog, and now she still has to take the initiative to go to the sales department to find guilt? She's not a masochist.
It's really hard to make money these days, but fortunately, Ling Yanchen is a good boss, she doesn't want to, he shouldn't be able to force her to go, right?
But the obedient words still have to be said well, Yan Zhen thought about it in her heart, but on the surface she made a tangled and embarrassed look.
Yan Zhen put her hands on her knees, as if she was unconsciously entangled, and only after a long time did she slowly raise her head and say, "Big brother, I know you are for my good, thank you, but I don't want to go to the sales department." Yeonwoo wants to do something in the sales department, and now if I go over, it may make him rebellious again. I know that the company is a place to work, and it shouldn't be as headstrong as at home. ”
She quietly glanced at Ling Yanchen's expression, there was nothing wrong, so she continued: "I'm not afraid of big brother's jokes, I'm a person who is very afraid of adapting to a new environment, I live very comfortably in the secretary department, I think being a secretary next to my big brother is the happiest thing I have done this year, it has made my life start to be fulfilling, and it has also made me forget the pain of the past few months." So, thank you so much, big brother, it was you who gave me another possibility of life, and it was you who helped me escape from the dilemma of emotional narrowness. ”
If it weren't for the fear of being too numb, Yan Zhen's rainbow fart would have been even more exciting, and she would almost say that Ling Yanchen was her reborn parent. Of course, compliments should also be limited, not too much, it will appear hypocritical.
Ling Yanchen hummed softly and did not continue the topic. He looked sideways out of the car window, and no one could see his expression at the moment, which was a cautious excitement that could not be concealed under layers of cover.
