080 I am like a beast of the flood
I have to admire Shao Ya's driving skills, he looks like he has a little feminine atmosphere, but the car is old and spicy and calm, and it was exactly 9:58 when we arrived at the Junya Hotel.
"Old driver, the skills are really excellent, do you consider opening a sparring school in the future?" He parked the car and I joked as I unbuckled my seatbelt.
Shao Ya smiled maliciously, "If you are my first customer, I will open it." β
"Don't make trouble, I'm in a hurry!" I said as I pushed the car door open.
He snorted and said dissatisfiedly, "Xie Rong, I worked so hard to send you over, and you just left me alone in the parking lot, isn't it too interesting?" β
I thought about it, so I quickly apologized, "You go up with me, and when I'm done, I'll invite you to coffee, okay?" β
Shao Ya nodded, "It's pretty much the same!" β
So we went directly to the first floor of the hotel from the underground elevator, I pointed to the cafΓ© and asked Shao Ya to go over and wait for me first, but he insisted on sending the Buddha to the West Heaven, and I was too lazy to argue with him, so I let him go.
There was a crowd of people outside the Diamond Hall, and there seemed to be a lot of business media and reporters gathered at the door, all carrying long guns and short cannons, and their eyes flashed with hungry gossip flames.
"Is it a merger between two large groups?"
"What is a merger? I heard that the rich second generation of the Xu family is young and handsome, and Bai Fumei of the Zhou family has just returned from abroad, so is it possible that the two of them are ready to tie the knot? β
"Yes, yes, I heard from Zhengqing's people that the two originally had a marriage contract!"
"The plot of the prince and princess, it's a pity that there is no Cinderella!"
"You know what? Now the plot of Prince Cinderella is not popular for a long time, and the masses like the prince and princess to match each other, don't you see that the romance is now written with a rich and handsome plot with a white rich beauty? β
The people at the door were discussing enthusiastically, and their words made me feel inexplicably depressed.
A few bodyguard-like people were guarding the front door, with an expression of "no one should enter", I didn't want to cause trouble, so I went around to the back door.
Pushing the door in, I quietly sat in the last row.
"There seems to be a seat in front, why don't you sit forward?" It was Shao Ya's voice.
I was stunned, "Why aren't you leaving?" β
"I think the joint media meeting of the two major enterprise groups is quite interesting, don't you mind having a good time!" He said as he tugged at my arm as he walked forward.
Shao Ya's tall and handsome appearance is particularly eye-catching, and I don't want to have a stalemate with him in public, so I had to follow him to the front position.
Looking forward from my position, there seemed to be a few elder-looking figures sitting in the first row, men in suits and leather shoes, women in cheongsam, I guess it was probably Xu Junyan and Zhou Jingru's parents.
I wanted to take a sneaky look at them, but the lights in the room suddenly dimmed, and the spotlights turned to the stage, and in the soft music, a man and a woman appeared in my sight, arm in arm.
Xu Junyan is wearing a black suit, with cold facial features and a strong aura; Zhou Jing is like a white dress skirt, smiling like a flower, and a bird is like a person.
Like a newlywed couple, they slowly walked to the stage.
It's not like the rhythm of the dissolution of the marriage contract, definitely not!
A strange sense of fear crept through my heart, and I felt my throat dry and my heart beat like a drum.
"You know them?" Shao Ya asked me in a low voice as she texted, in an absent-handed tone.
I shook my head.
In the dim light, Shao Ya seemed to be quietly watching me, and when I turned my face, he quickly looked away.
"Ladies and gentlemen!" Under the spotlight, Xu Junyan stood on the rostrum and began to speak.
His tone was as calm as water, and he couldn't hear any emotion.
"Today is a special day, the 20th anniversary of the cooperation between Zhengqing and the Zhou Group, and the 20th anniversary of my acquaintance with Miss Zhou Jingru!" He said slowly, his gaze seemed to sweep, and I quickly lowered my head.
In the huge multimedia function room, his voice sounded a little ethereal, as if it came from the clouds, which made people feel so unreal.
"As we all know, the Zhou Group is the most reliable partner of Zhengqing, Uncle Zhou and Aunt Zhou are also my most respected elders, and Miss Zhou Jingru and I were engaged many years ago, before she and I were busy studying and working overseas, the marriage contract can only be put on hold temporarily."
Engagement?
Xu Junyan finally mentioned the marriage contract.
My heart went to my throat, and my eyes stared at him without blinking, and there seemed to be a deep sense of unbearability and guilt in his eyes.
"I hereby officially announce that the wedding ceremony of Miss Zhou Jingru and I will be held on October 28 at Junya Hotel, and the ...... will be held at that time."
What Xu Junyan said next, I didn't hear a word.
It was as if something had collapsed in my head, sometimes buzzing, sometimes thundering.
All kinds of chaotic and noisy sounds were like a hammer pounding my head, and like a file filed through the tip of my heart.
It hurts, his chest hurts like he is cracked, and the blood in his body seems to boil in an instant, and it seems to coagulate in an instant.
I finally reacted to the critical moment that Zhou Jingru said, and I finally understood why Xu Junyan specifically chose this time to let me take a vacation, it turned out that he had been lying to me from beginning to end.
He never thought of breaking the marriage contract with Zhou Jingru, he just used me as his bed warmer and his invisible underground lover, and my role was only one - for him to vent.
Heh, he hurriedly pushed me away, probably because he was afraid that I would come to his media conference with Zhou Jingru, right?
But why, why didn't you tell me earlier?
I'm not a stalker, as soon as Zhou Jingru came back, I went to Xu Junyan to break up, but he refused.
He swore that the marriage date was dissolved, his warmth, his thoughtfulness, his care, his compassion - I was really an SB, and I even fantasized that he would be a big tree for me to rely on.
It turned out to be all fake.
Fantasy is fantasy and will never become reality.
Remember Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tales?
The ugly duckling finally turned into a white swan, hehe, when I grew up, I realized that the ugly duckling was not a duck in the first place!
I suddenly felt out of breath, my legs trembled so badly, and my stomach was tumbling and I wanted to vomit.
The speaker on the stage has been replaced by Zhou Jingru, who tells her love story with Xu Junyan in an elegant and unhurried manner, she recalls the good times when they dived and skied together, she said that she had waited for this day for a long time, and she said that he was the most precious person in her life.
I couldn't listen anymore, so I got up and walked out.
"Xie Rong, what's wrong with you?" Shao Ya stood up in front of me, his tone of concern.
"I'm so dizzy, I want to go out and breathe!" I struggled to piece together complete sentences as much as I could.
He hesitated for a moment, then grabbed his phone and pressed it a few times, "I'll take you out, right away." β
I nodded, and just as I was about to take a step, there was a sudden noise from the audience, as if a few reporters wanted to stand up and ask questions.
Zhou Jingru generously asked the assistant to hand over the microphone.
"Miss Zhou, I just heard a message that your fiancΓ©, Mr. Xu, has a close relationship with his secretary, how do you respond?"
"Our magazine also received the same news, I wonder if Mr. Xu is willing to respond in person?"
"I heard that Mr. Xu once fanatically pursued his secretary, but the secretary did not agree, is it true?"
Then I was struck by lightning and I suddenly felt like a prey in the swamp now, and the more I struggled, the deeper I sank.
"Let's go!" Shao Ya's face suddenly became extremely serious, and he almost roughly pulled my arm.
But it was too late, the spotlight suddenly hit, and I could barely open my eyes due to the blinding light, and a cold microphone was shoved into my hand.
"Miss Xie, since you are already here, why don't you respond!" Zhou Jingru smiled like a hunter who had caught his prey, and he was determined to win.
I looked around, and a tall figure in the first row turned towards me, it was Xu Junyan.
He stood up and stared at me, his face clouded.
He's angry, he must have felt that my presence has embarrassed him, hehe, he probably wants me to disappear immediately!
Xu Junyan suddenly left his seat and walked to the stage, but two bodyguard-like people blocked his way, and he impatiently wanted to push them away, but more people surrounded him, and then a man and a woman who were originally sitting next to him also followed, like his parents.
They seem to be arguing fiercely.
What are you arguing about?
It's just a game, so why bother dwelling on it.
"Xie Rong, don't bother with them, let's go!" Shao Ya comforted me in a low voice.
I smiled wryly and gently pushed his hand away.
"I only have a superior-subordinate relationship with Mr. Xu - he has never pursued me, I once mistakenly thought he was single, so I had a good impression of him, but he cautiously rejected me!" My voice sounded so calm that I couldn't believe it, and I even laughed, grinning so loudly, laughing heartlessly, "You also know that I'm just a small clerk, how can Mr. Xu look down on me, it's just that I think too much." β
With that, I threw down the microphone and walked out without looking back.
Shao Ya caught up, his arm gently around my waist, protecting me all the way through the crowd.
I looked up and smiled gratefully at him, smiling desolately.
A large crowd had already poured up outside the door, and people kept crowding over to chase me and ask questions.
"Miss Xie, can you tell us more about how you confessed to Mr. Xu at that time, and how he rejected you?"
"Miss Xie, we are from the xx forum, would you like to do a late-night talk show to talk about the secretary and the president?"
"Miss Xie, we are from "Women" magazine, your experience is very interesting to our magazine, do you have any intention of cooperating with us to write a documentary about the domineering president's pretty secretary?"
At this moment, I was like a flood beast.
