48 Unrepentant
Yan Zhen was in a good mood this morning, but now she has been completely ruined by Ling Yanyu. She came to the office, turned on the computer, processed the unread emails in the work mailbox one by one, and when she had spare time, she took out her mobile phone and looked at the income of this month's financial investment.
Yan Zhen does not deny that she has been a financial novice in her two lives combined, and she can't even figure out what the fund is, the financial investment advice that Ling Yanchen sorted out for her is detailed and easy to understand, according to this plan tailored for her, her current income is already very considerable.
This income has become Yan Zhen's recent source of happiness, even if Ling Yanyu does not receive the lunch box as scheduled, she will be able to live normally with this extra income in the future, as long as she lives not too luxuriously every month.
Although she is a young lady and has requirements for the quality of life, she does not have the vice of wanton profligacy, and she now eats and lives in the Ling family, there are really not many places to spend money, social activities have decreased sharply, there is no need to pay rent, there is no pressure of mortgage and car loan, and there is no need to ask a maid to clean and cook, the salary she now gives Ling Yanchen as a secretary is enough for her daily consumption, thinking about it is really a little inflated!
However, Yan Zhen still has a clear understanding of herself, even if she is now a young lady and the fiancée of a wealthy family, she is actually in this circle, with only a few million savings level, and it is estimated that she will become a super-poor household.
Seeing the increased income every day certainly makes her feel happy, but thinking that she may have to leave the company in a short time, and lose her salary, a fixed source of income, Yan Zhen can't help but feel sad.
Ling Yanyu seemed to be asking for her opinion, but he obviously didn't want her to continue working in the company.
Regarding Ling Yanchen's character, Yan Zhen has been quite trusting after getting along for a while, but she has doubted more than once, whether Ling Yanchen and Ling Yanyu are brothers, these two people are not at the same level in terms of character and IQ, can brothers with the same father and mother be so different? But that's exactly what happened.
On the other hand, Yan Zhen clearly knows that she must be self-aware, and Ling Yanchen is very good to her, but no matter what, she is just an outsider after all, and Ling Yanyu is his own brother, after such an embarrassing thing, Ling Yanyu insisted on not letting her continue to work, and Ling Yanchen would probably turn a blind eye.
Luo Yun could see that Yan Zhen was not in the right state today, and when she was not busy with work, she made a cup of coffee, came to Yan Zhen's seat, and asked with a smile, "What's wrong today?" Get up on the wrong side of the bed? Look at what you're not interested in. ”
"Well, I may have to quit my job and leave in a short time." Yan Zhen is not a person who doesn't talk about everything in her heart, not to mention that resigning normally is not an unsightly secret, she just lacks someone to talk to, so she complained to Luo Yun, "I think that I can't talk to you about gossip in the future, I feel that life is extremely boring." ”
Luo Yun was a little surprised, "Resign?" Why? ”
Yan Zhen smiled bitterly, her face full of helplessness, "I can't tell why, anyway, I may not stay here for long, you have to cherish the time you spend with me." ”
Seeing that Yan Zhen didn't want to say more, Luo Yun didn't ask again.
It is really rare to meet colleagues with similar interests in the workplace and get along well with each other, and even Luo Yun was infected by Yan Zhen with a low mood for a while.
Assistant Guo happened to run into Luo Yun when he went to the pantry to make coffee, and the two chatted casually. Hearing Luo Yun mention that Yan Zhen was going to resign, Assistant Guo was very surprised, although Mr. Ling always hides well on weekdays, but with his observation and keen intuition as an assistant for many years, Mr. Ling obviously has the kind of mind about Yan Zhen for the person he likes. He couldn't help but wonder if something terrible had happened, right?
Assistant Guo was preoccupied all afternoon, and when he sent a report to Ling Yanchen, he really couldn't suppress his curiosity, and said tentatively, "Mr. Ling, I heard that Secretary Yan is leaving?" ”
Ling Yanchen was originally browsing the work email, but when he heard this, he raised his head and asked in a deep voice, "Who did you listen to?" ”
Assistant Guo was stunned for a moment, and honestly explained, "It was Secretary Yan who said it to Secretary Luo." ”
Ling Yanchen didn't speak, Assistant Guo put the report on the desk, and hurriedly slipped away. He could feel that Mr. Ling's mood was not very good in an instant, although he believed that Mr. Ling would not harm the pond fish, he still didn't dare to take the risk and left quickly.
Ling Yanchen was indeed quite irritable. He didn't care about Ling Yanyu, he just minded a little, Yan Zhen would resign in order to reassure his younger brother, and what was even more helpless was that he didn't even have a position to oppose it. In the eyes of outsiders, Yan Zhen is the fiancée of her younger brother, as long as the two of them can get back together, I'm afraid even my mother will stand there and raise her hands to support it.
After getting off work, Ling Yanchen pushed the commercial dinner and drove to a bar by himself. He just wanted to calm down alone at the moment, and wanted to do something to divert his attention, otherwise he was afraid that he would not be able to help but run to question Yan Zhen.
The tight spell in his heart tightened inch by inch, making him have a headache, and he still tossed and turned, haunted by dreams, and did not repent.
Ling Yanchen himself didn't know where the limit of his patience was, whether one day he would be like a madman, regardless of the consequences.
This bar is similar to a clear bar, relatively quiet, and many office workers in the neighborhood are stressed and come over for a drink and relax after work.
Ling Yanchen sat alone in the corner of the more remote booth, just ordered a bottle of wine, and before he had taken a few sips, he heard a familiar male voice from behind, "Ling Yanchen, it's really you." ”
Ling Yanchen turned his head, and a man in a suit walked over with a wine glass in his hand.
The person who came was He Xin, Ling Yanchen and he were classmates, in the eyes of outsiders, they were in a competitive relationship at school, and they were very incompatible, in fact, they were not too familiar with each other.
He Xin was familiar with himself, sat directly opposite Ling Yanchen, and sighed, "Workaholic actually has the leisure to drink, I thought it was the wrong person." What's the matter, in a bad mood? ”
Ling Yanchen didn't even raise his eyelids, he shook the cup in his hand, and the ice cubes hit the wall of the cup with a crisp sound. His voice was calm and flat, "Is there something wrong with you?" ”
"Old classmates can't catch up when they meet by chance?" He Xin leaned back on the sofa and smiled self-deprecatingly, "Or is my reputation so bad that even you have to avoid it?" ”
Ling Yanchen's hand holding the wine glass froze slightly, and he did not respond.
"Really? You've heard about me? He Xin may have been aggrieved during this period of time, and he couldn't find anyone to talk to, he got up and took Ling Yanchen's wine, poured it into his cup without seeing it, and drank it all, "Wine is really a good thing, I'm lucky to meet you today, for the sake of my classmates, I can only sleep at night when I'm drunk." ”
Only then did Ling Yanchen open his mouth and persuade, "Don't drink too much, I don't want to send you to the hospital." ”
He Xin smiled bitterly, "I think no one knew that I did well in the exam, no one congratulated me when I won the award, and no one paid attention to opening a company. ”
There was no need for Ling Yanchen to talk at all, He Xin drank a few more glasses, and when his emotions came up, he began to babble to himself.
He held the wine glass tightly, his eyes were slightly red, as if he was asking Ling Yanchen, but it was more like asking his own heart, "People like me, those so-called gossips are irrelevant to me, I don't care what others think at all, as long as I live a wanton and happy life, what kind of breaking ethics and morality has something to do with me?" As long as she wants, I can handle anything, as long as she likes me......"
In the end, He Xin didn't know what he was going to say, so he wiped his face, his voice was hoarse, "Let you laugh." ”
What an indifferent person Ling Yanchen is, at this moment, he looked at He Xin quietly, but there was a look of sympathy in his eyes, he sympathized with He Xin, and he also sympathized with himself. He didn't say anything, just drank with a muffled voice, and unknowingly drank two bottles, and was drunk unconscious.
He Xin's alcohol consumption was very good, he was still sober, but Ling Yanchen was drunk. He thought to himself, Lao Ling was so happy to accompany him to get drunk and rest, he couldn't leave him alone.
But He Xin was really not familiar with Ling Yanchen, he didn't know the address of his apartment, he only knew where Ling's house was, so in the end, he could only drag Ling Yanchen into the car and let the driver drive people to Ling's house.
Yan Zhen was in a bad mood, she didn't have much appetite for dinner, she felt hungry just after taking a shower, so she had to go downstairs to the kitchen to find something to eat, and as soon as she walked to the staircase, she heard a burst of talking in the living room.
It was probably the first time for the housekeeper to encounter this situation, and when he heard the footsteps, he turned around and saw that the person who came was Yan Zhen, as if he saw a life-saving straw, and hurriedly asked for help, "Miss Yan, the eldest young master is drunk, I don't dare to alarm Madame." ”
He Xin was supporting Ling Yanchen on the side, and as soon as this Miss Yan appeared, he felt Ling Yanchen unconsciously straighten his body. He looked down strangely, and found that Ling Yanchen had slowly opened his eyes, the nervous look on his face that he didn't have time to hide was obvious, he looked at it again, Ling Yanchen closed his eyes again, and the knuckles of his fingers clenched unconsciously turned white.
Yan Zhen walked quickly in front of Ling Yanchen, she stretched out her hand without hesitation, ready to take Ling Yanchen. But at this time, Ling Yanchen was held by the housekeeper on his left side, and his right shoulder was supported by He Xin, and there seemed to be no room for him to start.
He Xin suddenly felt that he was being thrown off, he was defenseless and involuntarily took a step back, only then did he react and find that it was Ling Yanchen who pushed him away! Is Ling Yanchen drunk?
When He Xin looked closely, that Miss Yan had already staggered and barely stood up to Ling Yanchen. This thing actually pretended to be so drunk that it couldn't stand steadily, and its body leaned towards Miss Yan's side intentionally or unintentionally, getting closer and closer, and interpreting what real scheming is with strength.
He Xin left the Ling family in a groggy state, and was blown by the cold wind, and suddenly woke up. That Miss Yan just now, if he remembers correctly, it seems to be Ling Yanyu's fiancée, right? Yes, yes, that's right! That's her!
He Xin returned to the car, thinking of Ling Yan's series of reactions just now, and then thinking of his performance at the bar today, he couldn't help laughing.
The driver was frightened by He Xin's sudden crazy reaction, and hurriedly asked, "Mr. He, what's wrong with you?" ”
He Xin did have a lot of differences with Ling Yanchen in his studies before, he was suppressed by Ling Yanchen all the year round, and was nicknamed the second in ten thousand years. He felt that Ling Yanchen was too dignified, rational, restrained and extremely boring, after today's incident, he actually felt a little sympathy for Ling Yanchen, they should be regarded as difficult brothers, right?
He Xin laughed enough, and his expression became more and more sad, "I didn't expect that I and Lao Ling were both fallen people at the end of the world!" He curled the corners of his mouth again with self-deprecation, "No, he's worse than me." ”
He just likes his nephew's girlfriend, it's just a girlfriend, Lao Ling likes his brother's fiancée! Miserable, deep love! It's hard, you can't ask for it!
