CHAPTER XLIV
On weekdays, the sky is clear, but at this time it is raining lightly.
The rain was dripping, He Yiyi stood in front of the teaching stairs, looked up at the sky that was obviously a clear sky, stretched out his hand, and the water droplets passed through his fingers in strings, drowning at will.
She only reacted, and she had been standing at the top of the stairs for half an hour.
The rain stopped after a while, and the weather in Jiangcheng changed as it was said, capricious and irregular.
The rumors appeared quickly, and they dissipated quickly, and in the evening, the forum posts disappeared, and some people opened derivative posts, and not long after they appeared on the homepage, they disappeared immediately.
After a few days, He Yiyi found out who did it, it was Xu Ya.
Xu Ya came to the house and specially looked for her, saying: "I have suppressed all these news, and if there is a similar one, it will have a negative image of the company, after all, you are the daughter of Mr. He, and you are also in contact with the company's affairs, and you are also the image representative of the foundation, Miss Yiyi, you should pay more attention." ”
He Yiyi is poor in words and has always been weak, and if she says yes, she will pay attention.
Xu Ya also said: "I will investigate who is posting this matter, Miss Yiyi, you recall, have you offended anyone?" ”
"Nope." She couldn't think of it.
Xu Ya didn't force her, and she had already planned to receive nothing.
Xu Ya stayed for a long time and left.
In the next few days, He Yiyi has been in the school library at three o'clock and one line, and does not go anywhere else.
……
In winter, a heavy snow began to fall.
He Yiyi finished the last subject, took his backpack, and originally planned to go to Ancheng to find Gu Xingzhi after the exam.
As soon as she walked out of the campus, a phone call completely plunged her into the abyss.
It was Hermione who called, informing her that He Zhang was hospitalized.
Rushing to the hospital, He Zhang was just pushed out of the operating room and transferred to the senior ward.
He Min was in a cold sweat, and Xu Ya was also there, and they didn't have a good face.
The two people rarely had a tacit understanding, and they didn't talk about He Zhang's condition, He Yiyi was anxious, grabbed He Min's shoulder, and asked her, "Auntie, you are talking." ”
He Min said weakly: "Yiyi, don't worry, your father is fine now." ”
Hermione's expression dodged, and she didn't say why.
couldn't ask what he wanted, He Yiyi could only go to the ward to visit his father.
After seeing her in, Hermione explained to Xu Ya: "Don't tell her, don't say anything." ”
Xu Ya was surprised, but his heart was cold, He Zhang in the ward was very sick, this time, although the operation was successful, but after that, I was afraid that it would be......
What's even more tricky is that He Zhang fell, the company's position was missing, it was okay for a while, but for a long time, I was afraid that the people below would have objections, and then the opponents who were eyeing the enemy would take advantage of the fire to rob, then the situation would not be optimistic.
He Yiyi is still young and has not yet been able to take the lead alone.
I can't convince the public.
He Zhang was still asleep, the anesthetic had not passed, a transparent tube was inserted in his body, he had an oxygen cylinder in his mouth and nose, his face was sallow, and he felt ten years old in an instant.
He Yiyi almost cried, for fear of disturbing his sleeping father, so he died and didn't make a sound.
It is often the last straw that overwhelms the camel, and for a year, He Zhang's body has already been checked for abnormalities, but he didn't tell He Yiyi that he was in the hospital once before, and it was because of this illness that he let He Yiyi, who had not yet graduated, contact the company's affairs, if she could, then let her be responsible, if not......
He Zhang only woke up the next morning, looked at his daughter lying on the side of the bed with loving eyes, raised his weak hand, and summoned Xu Ya, who had been waiting in the ward, and whispered a few words, Xu Ya remembered them one by one.
……
This year's Spring Festival was spent in the hospital, He Yiyi went back and forth between the hospital and He Zhai, He Zhang asked her to go home to rest, she refused, she didn't listen to anyone, and accompanied her every day.
He Zhang's hospitalization couldn't be hidden from the outside world, and many company executives came to visit, including Lu Lihan, who came with Lu Jinbin.
He Yiyi thought it was an illusion, because when Lu Jinbin looked at her, his eyes were vicious and frightening.
When she left the ward alone, Lu Lihan passed by her, both of them treated each other as strangers, and they didn't give any extra glances.
It seems that the last time Lu Lihan was drunk and said that he would stay away from her, it was not fake, but he treated her as a stranger and didn't even look at her.
He Zhang was still in the hospital, she was in no mood to think about anything else, but she was afraid that something would happen to her father, and she didn't dare to tell him what happened when she called Gu Xingzhi, Gu Xingzhi also had his own job, and she didn't want to disturb him because of her own affairs.
Since He Zhang was admitted to the hospital, the company has also made a lot of moves, and these are all handled by Xu Ya.
After the New Year, He Zhang's condition suddenly worsened, and He Min seemed much calmer, but she was not a person in the company, she did not have any position, and she could not intervene in the company's affairs.
Xu Ya was so busy that he couldn't even take care of shaving his beard, and he was running around every day, and when He Zhang was still sober, he hurriedly reported the latest movements.
This situation lasted for half a year, He Zhang was occasionally awake and occasionally drowsy, and the company's affairs were all pressed on Xu Ya, so she had no choice but to put He Yiyi directly in a temporary position and let her take over.
A group of old people are all waiting to see her joke about a yellow-haired girl, and there is also Tang Yi's father among these people, who is also waiting to see how she can 'be the master of the house'.
After the people dispersed, Xu Ya sighed heavily, feeling that she was in too much of a hurry and dragged her to the execution ground.
He Yiyi trembled his hands, held the pen and trembled, and said, "Am I useless." ”
Useless...... Xu Ya sighed again, couldn't bear to add scars to her fragile heart, and said: "You are still young, it was my miscalculation, I didn't expect this group of people to take advantage of Mr. He's illness and turn their faces directly, you haven't graduated yet, you are definitely not their opponent, and it is normal that they don't take you seriously." Don't cry, it's useless to cry now, find a way. ”
“……”
"Personnel changes can be big or small for a company, but others are not afraid, and the most afraid of internal strife is the most lethal for a company. The most important thing now is that you have to familiarize yourself with the affairs as soon as possible and become the second 'President He'. ”
Xu Ya almost made it clear that if He Zhang can't wake up, if He Yiyi can't become the second 'President He', then it's time for the country to change hands.
"The company is Mr. He's life's work, and it's hard to keep it, Miss Yiyi."
Everyone else in the company calls her Miss Xiaohe, and the meaning of adding 'small' in front of her can be imagined.
The weather was cold, Xu Ya took her to the company canteen to eat, and when she met Tang Yi, he was normal, and he came over after a box of lunch, greeting with a hippie smile: "Assistant Xu, you have worked hard, Miss Xiaohe, you have also worked hard." ”
Assistant Xu responded with a smile: "Little boy Tang, you have also worked hard." ”
It's all smiling and not smiling.
Tang Yi said: "Miss Xiaohe, how are you feeling when you sit in the position of the big boss?" ”
He is deliberately ridiculing and showing up to stimulate people.
He Yiyi: "I'm not in the mood, what mood can I have." ”
Tang Yi grinned: "Hey, Mr. He is sick and hospitalized, you are not in a good mood when I think about it, for the sake of Lu Lihan's face, I will give you a message, now at this time, there are not a few people who are ready to move, I hope you can get out of the whirlpool of public opinion." ”
After Tang Yi finished speaking, he lowered his head to eat.
Xu Ya said: "Mr. Tang has been in the company for many years, and he should know Mr. He's methods very well. ”
"Of course, but now he's down, and who knows if he can stand up. Elderly people should stay at home to care for the elderly, you say, Miss Xiaohe. Tang Yi was inexplicably confident, and he really thought that He Zhang would not be able to stand up if he fell.
He Yiyi pursed his lips, and the hands under the table were clenched into fists, Tang Yi was clearly cursing He Zhang: "Tang Yi, don't go too far!" ”
"What did I go over, I was like a pug and apologized to you in a low voice, did you father and daughter take us seriously?"
Tang Yi still remembered the time he met her and He Zhang in the teahouse before, and originally thought that it was indeed his fault for leaving her alone in Pingzhou, but she was okay, and she was still with Gu Xingzhi, which was also crooked, and later he apologized to others in person, and people ignored him, but they really didn't take him seriously.
Think about when he had suffered from this kind of wretchedness.
This is even more true on Lu Lihan's side.
He Yiyi wanted to speak and stopped, but Xu Ya came forward to terminate the topic.
"Mr. Xiao Tang, it's really tasteless to yell at a little girl."
……
Suddenly, in a big dream, He Yiyi returned to He Mansion from the company, tired and shedding a layer of skin.
But half a year has passed, and she seems to have experienced a few years.
During this time, she has been dealing with the company's various directors and shareholders, and people are waiting for her to come out and fall into the ground.
But she would never have thought that Lu Jinbin would also take the opportunity to muddy the water and make a mess of the already uncalm lake.
Early the next morning, He Yiyi went to the hospital to see He Zhang, and there were more and more times when he was not awake, and she went to the doctor again, and the doctor's statement was not very good, in short, the situation was not optimistic.
Xu Ya originally planned to hide it, but she couldn't hide it, so she had to tell her that He Zhang had a stroke.
is old and overworked, she has been in the hospital several times before, all of which are hidden from He Yiyi, she doesn't know, Xu Ya didn't dare to say it in the end, her face was extremely ugly, and she was afraid that she would fall again.
ushered in the opening of the school, He Yiyi ran between the school and the hospital, and did not have any extra time to deal with other things.
……
Lu Lihan took his graduation certificate, transferred from Jiangcheng, and went to another place, he did what he said, and if he stayed away, he would stay away completely.
Before leaving, I met with Hermione.
didn't mention He Zhang's matter, He Min said: "Lu Jinbin didn't treat you as his own child, and drove you away." ”
"It's the same everywhere." Lu Lihan looked indifferent.
He Min sighed heavily: "It would be nice if Yiyi was a boy, and so many things would not happen now, and now the company is questioning her, how can a yellow-haired girl who is so young and has not graduated yet, how can she take the lead and shoulder the company's affairs." ”
This is not something he can meddle in, Lu Lihan is noncommittal, although Lu Jinbin still has a gap in his heart and does not trust him, so he transferred him out of Jiangcheng, and the Lu family can only have one successor, that is Lu Qinfeng.
Lu Ran is a daughter, and her daughter is going to get married.
He Min pondered and asked tentatively: "Lihan, do you want to think about it and join the He Group." ”
……
A few days later, He Yiyi and Xu Ya attended a charity gala together, and attended as guests.
Celebrities in this circle have hardly seen He Zhang's daughter, and they are actually quite curious about her, if He Zhang is not seriously ill, maybe this daughter who is hidden in the boudoir and does not see the public will not appear. But it's useless for her to appear, her ability is limited, she looks beautiful and lovely, and it's just a beautiful vase.
He Yiyi was wearing a close-fitting black sequined evening dress, the makeup was made by Xu Ya to the makeup team, her hair was slightly curly, and she was waist-length, she was already thin, but recently because of her father's affairs, she has lost a lot of weight, and her collarbone is so thin that it is concave, as if a gust of wind can blow it down.
Xu Ya wears a suit all year round, and today is no exception, he held a goblet, a little worried He Yiyi said: "Miss Yiyi, you hold on, tonight's banquet has to come, it is organized by the charity Unicom Jiangcheng's famous local enterprises, Mr. He was very interested in charity before, and he can't shirk it." ”
"I know, I'm fine."
Turning around, He Yiyi and Xu Ya were standing together, and suddenly saw Lu Qinfeng not far away, Xu Ya said: "The Lu family is also on the list, it's not strange." ”
"Hmm."
Xu Ya was very responsible, and helped her block a lot of toasts one night, she couldn't drink at all, but she couldn't stop the deliberate difficulties of people with intentions.
At the end of the banquet, there is also a process of taking pictures, the host took the microphone and invited the people present to take a group photo on stage, He Yiyi and Xu Ya came to the stage, Xu Ya protected her, she lifted the hem of her skirt, walked up cautiously, and the moment she raised her head, the girl closest to her gave her a white look.
The girl is also well-dressed, dressed coldly, wearing an aqua blue evening dress, carrying a handbag in one hand, and her face is not very good.
He Yiyi touched his nose and stood on the very edge, Xu Ya smiled and whispered: "When Mr. He was here, it was definitely not like this. ”
Is this an encouragement for her?
Xu Ya said: "Relax, don't think too much, you will meet this kind of person in the future." ”
This drop is a bit big.
After He Yiyi and everyone took pictures, they came down from the stage, and the girl in the aqua blue evening dress passed by first, and dropped a sentence: "The daughter of the He Group is nothing more than that." ”
Xu Ya also heard it, her eyes fell on the girl in the aqua blue evening dress, looked at it for a few seconds, and then withdrew her gaze.
Just after a few steps, a man in a suit came up and asked, "Is it Miss He?" ”
He Yiyi and Xu Ya glanced at each other, and Xu Ya said, "You are?" ”
"My name is Chen Yan." The man smiled politely, and his eyes fell on He Yiyi, with inquiry.
Chen Yan, a well-known architect who has just returned to China, a native of Jiangcheng, also runs a company to do real estate at home, and is a peer with the He family.
No wonder Xu Ya doesn't know him.
"Mr. He's daughter, it's better to see than to hear, I've heard of Miss He's name before, and I've seen Miss He's frequent appearances in charity on the news, tonight I'm really like the legend, at a glance, I know that she is a very kind girl."
Chen Yan spoke in a concise manner, which was very consistent with his appearance, but it was a little troublesome to block her way.
He Yiyi is not good at communicating, and she is not good at communicating with men who have honey in her mouth, she frequently looks at Xu Ya.
Xu Ya gave her a look and calmed her.
"Mr. Chen has won the award." He Yiyi's palms were sweating.
"I see you're nervous, I'm not a bad person, I just want to get to know you and be friends."
Chen Yan looked at the girl with red lips and white teeth in front of him, and his heart felt as if he was brushed by feathers, tickling.
Xu Yajian interjected at the right time: "Miss He, it's not too early, we still have to go to the hospital." ”
"I'm sorry, I still have something to do, so I'll leave first."
Chen Yan moved out of the way and watched her leave.
Walking out of the banquet hall, He Yiyi asked Xu Ya: "That Chen Yan, look at me so strangely." ”
Xu Ya ripped off her tie: "Some men just can't change their, Miss Yiyi, don't accept the invitation of a single man alone." ”
……
He Min was on the phone with Xiaopi in the living room, He Yiyi entered the house, she just finished hanging up the phone, and saw her enter the house, wearing an evening dress, and said: "Yiyi, that one is called Gu Xingzhi, doesn't your boyfriend come to see your father?" ”
Aunt Zhao brought chicken soup to warm her stomach, He Yiyi took a sip and did not answer He Min's words.
"Yiyi, no matter how busy he is with work, he has to come over to see your father, does he still treat you as a girlfriend?"
"He's busy." He Yiyi was not in a stable mood, he was depressed, and he didn't want to talk to He Min about Gu Xingzhi.
Hermione didn't plan to let her go like this: "Your father has been hospitalized for so long, and he doesn't even come to visit, so I can't say it." Does he really intend to marry you when he is dating you? With such a heavy responsibility on your shoulders, can he help you share it? ”
Hermione said that he meant to dislike Gu Xingzhi's profession.
He can't help her, the family is still in politics, Hermione is the most unaccustomed to this type, she is proud of herself, she thinks that her status is much higher than others, what if she is a public official.
"Auntie, I'm in love, not ......"
"Your dad is already in the hospital, who else can help you now? Xu Ya? He's an assistant, he doesn't have the right to speak, now your dad still has a breath, if it's gone, you see who is still on your side, you're a girl, you don't know anything about the company, what can you do. ”
"I'll try my best, too."
He Min chuckled and pulled the wrinkled skirt: "Yiyi, your personality is the same as your mother, it's too soft, you can't become a second He Zhang, you can't continue his myth, you can only find someone who can help you." Unless Gu Xingzhi is willing to change careers for you. ”
He Yiyi clasped his nails and was silent.
"I found Gu Xingzhi's mobile phone number, and I explained everything for you." Hermione, who was originally sitting on the sofa, stood up now, walked over and pinched her cheek: "Good, listen to my aunt this time." If Gu Xingzhi chooses you, then I will no longer disagree with you, if he chooses his own dream, then ...... You can only be separated. You...... Obedient business marriage. ”
After Hermione finished speaking, she went upstairs and went back to the room, she went to find Lu Jinbin today and talked to him once.
Lu Jinbin was also surprised that she actually came to the door and said that she wanted to marry his family.
He Min's attention was all done, so he let Lu Lihan join the He family, he and Lu Jinbin were not close, and he was not afraid that Lu Jinbin would control the power of the He family when he entered the He family. No one will be more suitable than Lu Lihan.
Of course, Lu Jinbin agreed.
He has been paying attention to the He family, and he has not taken Lu Lihan in his eyes, and now He Zhang's sister proposes to marry, of course he agrees.
It's just a Lu Lihan, he can't escape from the palm of his hand, and it will be a matter of time before he gets the He family.
Of course, He Yiyi didn't know that He Min had already discussed it with Lu Jinbin.
After hearing He Min say that she had contacted Gu Xingzhi, she felt that the sky was falling, she rushed to He Min's room and asked, "Auntie, what did you say to Xingzhi?" ”
"If you want to know, just ask him."
He Yiyi felt heavy: "Auntie, I don't know anything, why are you doing this?" Don't you think it's excessive? ”
"The starting point of everything I did was for your own good, for the He family, I didn't plan to be so fast, but your father is still lying in the hospital, can you think about your father?" He Min was also angry, angry that He Yiyi was ignorant.
"That doesn't implicate ...... of action"
"You like him so much? Why not trust him? If something happens at home and hides it from him, if you can't resist it alone and don't tell him the truth, with his current job, he can't help you a point. ”
Hermione simply gave an ultimatum: "You just stay at home and don't go anywhere, you don't have to go to the company's affairs, you can't help anything." ”
As a result, He Yiyi was locked up by He Min and couldn't go anywhere.
The communication equipment was also taken away by He Min, and He Mansion had a few more tall bodyguards watching, He Min came for real, trapped her in He Zhai, and lost contact with the outside world.
It wasn't until she threatened her hunger strike that Hermione gave her her mobile phone, but the mobile phone card was gone, so what was the use of asking for a mobile phone.
The wind and clouds outside were turbulent, she didn't know it, and she began to want to run, but she couldn't even get out of the gate of the He Mansion, let alone run, and the flies couldn't fly out.
I don't know that a few days later, Hermione brought Lu Lihan here.
She sat in the corner of the room, with a window on the side, and she stared at the city buildings in the distance, not even noticing that there was one more person in the room.
"Little daughter." Lu Lihan walked up to her, squatted down on one knee, put his arm on his lap at will, and saw her pale and bloodless side face, "Hunger strike is not a good way, it will only make you more uncomfortable." ”
He Yiyi didn't respond, and her thick eyelashes fluttered a few times.
His eyes were blank, and he continued to stare out the window in a daze.
Lu Lihan was not in a hurry, and slowly squatted with her, she didn't move, and he didn't move.
It was so quiet that only the breathing sound of two people was intertwined, lingering and compassionate.
"What are you doing here?" He Yiyi finally said something, he didn't speak for too long, and his voice was dry and hoarse.
It wasn't dark outside the window, but she didn't know what time it was.
Lu Lihan said: "Four o'clock in the afternoon. ”
"And what are you going to do?"
"Aunt Min said you don't eat, let me persuade you." Lu Lihan was wearing a formal suit, as if he had just come down from the negotiation table, his eyebrows were solemn, and there was still the smell of smoke on his body.
She wore a cotton white dress, revealing her pale calves, and her thighs were bruised with visible eyes because of her sitting position.
"What about masochism?"
