Chapter 9 Childhood Sweethearts
22nd floor of Lin's Group.
Gu Yan pushed open the door of the president's office and walked to the desk with a brisk walk.
"President Lin Da, why do you still have the strength to stick to the chair, your fiancée's childhood sweetheart and men are back, let me tell you, I went to inquire, Ji Luochuan had an unusual relationship with her before he went abroad. It was a neighbor who had lived together for many years, and they had grown up together. If it weren't for the fact that there were too many tattered things in their Ji family, he was implicated and hid overseas and didn't come back all these years, and it is estimated that there would be nothing to do with you. ”
Lin Yize didn't raise his head, quickly finished processing the last document sent over, picked up the pen and signed at the payment place, "I don't know if I think the Gu family is in decline, what are you running with me every day?" ”
"Don't curse me, you kid!" Gu Yan casually grabbed the folder on the side of the table and smashed it over, "Who made my house building just across the street opposite your house, cross the road every day to exercise and exercise, so that the mind can be more flexible, do you understand?" ”
Mr. Lin tilted his head and flexibly dodged the non-lethal attack, and said in a calm tone: "Since Fu Zhining has chosen him to manage Xinghui, there is nothing wrong with him, with the solid background of the Ji family, the future is just around the corner." ”
Gu Yan has known him for almost ten years, and has witnessed the appearance of a large number of girls chasing after Lin Yize, and even suspected that he likes men for a while. It wasn't until a drunken occasion that he mentioned that he had a college crush that he found out that this person was a coward, treating feelings like a mouse seeing a cat, and the male peacock courtship opened the screen to show off everywhere, but Lin Yize was eager to hide in the cracks, and President Lin Da, who intimidated everyone all day long, seemed to be two people.
Later, he entered the business field, and found a few famous female companions who were on the stage to play the scene, the Lin family has a big business, and the company's piles are handled carefully, he has no spare time to fall in love, and over time, Lin Yize has been single for so many years, so naturally he has not accumulated any practical experience and skills.
Next time, I must find a hammer to knock open Lin Yize's skull to see if it is paste, "Big brother, people meet every day in the company to rekindle old feelings, and you will be completely alone, and Mr. Lin has no wife, but it is embarrassing~" Gu Yan's guess is not unreasonable.
"Anyway, we are not officially engaged, and it has nothing to do with me who she falls in love with, that is her freedom." Lin Yize closed the document vigorously, looking like he didn't care about himself.
He took a sip of his coffee cup, American without sugar, bitter enough.
"That's not all? I've received your engagement invitations twice. ”
Lin Yize was silent, swiped his phone to check the chat dialog, Fu Zhining's last message was still three weeks ago.
"I saw it at the celebration banquet a few days ago, and that kid's eyes grew on Fu Zhining. Although it is said that people are younger than you, dressed more fashionably than you, and known for a longer period of time than you, they have no name after all. Don't be discouraged, you still have a chance in the main palace. Brother, I sincerely advise you, don't hold it, if you don't chase it, you'll really run away with others! ”
Gu Yan persuaded hard for a long time, looked at Lin Yize's bitter gourd face and didn't open his mind, put down Erlang's leg and simply said a few words about work, then raised his buttocks, and didn't forget to make up for it before leaving: "To be honest, people have to be slightly more handsome than you." ”
When the assistant moved away a large stack of documents, Lin Yize instructed him not to let Gu Yan enter the office without his permission in the future.
When there was only one person left in the room, the man used his fingerprint to unlock the safe on the right side under the table, and the familiar pair of small red velvet boxes were still placed in the corner, this was the engagement ring between him and Fu Zhining, the engagement banquet was canceled twice, and the little girl didn't even bring the ring, what kind of engagement is this.
Lin Yize's eyes fell on it and pondered for a few seconds, then he picked up the private seal next to him and closed the drawer.
———— Dividing Line————
Fu Zhining ran to Xinghui after class these days, and she didn't care if Uncle Huo would report to Lin Yize, she gradually began to get familiar with the company's business, and occasionally helped review the contract, anyway, she was never idle, every time she asked Ji Luochuan to find something to do for her, when Ji Luochuan didn't have a drinking party, the two of them ate together at night and got off work together, and the strange relationship became familiar again.
Ji Luochuan broke up the drinking bureau and asked the driver to send him back to the office, and when he saw Fu Zhining curled up on the sofa, he carefully took off the paper that was tightly grasped by his little hands, picked up the person and weighed it, and gently put it on the big bed in the lounge.
Turn down the indoor lights, cover her with a quilt, Ji Luochuan took off his coat, sat on his side to rest, he drank a lot at night, was a little tired, and fell asleep after leaning against the wall with his head in his hands.
This month, it was dark and spinning, and in order to have a good relationship with those old guys, I drank a lot of wine, and I also dealt with media and public relations every day. While worrying about Xinghui, while beware of the two troubled brothers at home everywhere, the newly registered company is in full swing to grab the project, he can only finish his work every day until the early hours of the morning, Rao is young age can't stop being so tired.
By the time Fu Zhining woke up, it was already two o'clock in the night. There was a long and even breathing sound in her ears, she couldn't bear to wake up Ji Luochuan, turned her head to look at his handsome face, she couldn't help but recall that beautiful childhood.
Ji Luochuan lives next door to her house, the two have played since childhood, and she is inseparable from Ji Luochuan every day, just like a brother and sister. After going to school, Ji Luochuan often tutored her at home, and sometimes when she was tired of studying, the two of them would lie on the tatami mat and sleep on her stomach. Ji Luochuan has been the first in the school since he was a child, with excellent grades, extremely smart, and he was guaranteed to go to the best university in China at a young age.
It's a pity that when Fu Zhining was in his first year of high school, there was an accident in Ji Luochuan's family. Overnight, he was sent out of the country, and the two lost contact. After the death of her parents, she moved out of the old house and bought a high-end apartment to live alone.
Fu Zhining hastily brought about what happened in the past few years, her parents died, and her marriage contract was in place, she chose to confess her relationship with Lin Yize. When she learned that Ji Luochuan was going to return to China this year, she was both surprised and worried.
There is no reason for young people to like it, and if they like it, they will remember it for a lifetime. Fu Zhining didn't know how to face the hazy relationship with Ji Luochuan that he had never told, after all, the youthful ignorance of his youth had long been shattered by reality, and he was no longer in the past.
reunited after a long absence, and now he is alone and helpless, and there are invisible marriage shackles; And the other party's family background is prominent, and the uncles and in-laws are all famous figures, and they are bound to make great achievements in the next world when they return from school.
Ji Luochuan's offer to help take care of Xinghui was something she never expected, obviously she could devote her energy to more valuable things, Fu Zhining couldn't think of any reason for him to choose to do so. In the future, he has no ability to fight for power in the Ji family for him, which will only become a stumbling block for him, and now he only hopes to take over the company independently as soon as possible, and don't let him bother so much.
The candy that he treasured when he was a child was put out for a long time, although it was still sweet, but it was more or less precipitated bitterness, and Fu Zhining secretly hid those extravagant hopes that he couldn't think of into his stomach.
Now, it's nice to be around and watch like that.
The yellow dim warm light sprinkled on the man's burgundy hair, the hair was smooth and smooth, the white shirt exposed the neck, the broad chest rose and fell regularly, his eyes were slightly closed, his long eyelashes drooped, and the usual seriousness disappeared.
"Have you seen enough?" The man closed his eyes and spoke, which startled Fu Zhining, and Ji Luochuan, who was not sleeping well, woke up when Fu Zhining turned over.
Fu Zhining smiled, "Has anyone ever said that you are very similar to the sleeping beauty in a fairy tale?" ”
Ji Luochuan smiled and scratched the tip of her reddened nose, "No, you are the first and only one to say that." ”
"Did you drink a lot today?"
"Well, I didn't drink less." He took the clear water handed over by Fu Zhining to moisten his throat, "By the way, in the past few days, several popular actors in Yixia Entertainment have proposed to talk to us about signing a contract, I sent someone to check, their Mr. Liu has a lawsuit, the person has been arrested, and the company may face bankruptcy liquidation, although the news has not yet been reported, but eight or nine are not far from ten." ”
"I remember that there were several scandals in Yixia Entertainment before, but they had no impact, and it seems that there is really no one to protect him this time."
"That's fine, let's reap the benefits of the fisherman." Ji Luochuan got up and put on his suit jacket, "Let's go, I'll send you back." ”
"It's okay, I'll just go back by myself, Brother Luochuan will go back early to rest, I'll trouble you these days." Fu Zhining's tone carried a hint of caution like walking on thin ice.
The man touched Fu Zhining's head dotingly, "Ning Ning, you and I don't need to be like this, I'm very happy to be able to help you, and I'm also very happy to see you every day, don't say these polite words in the future, okay?" ”
Fu Zhining digested it for a few seconds and nodded obediently.
Ji Luochuan accompanied Fu Zhining back to the apartment in the west of the city, followed her downstairs, and waited for the people to go upstairs before asking the driver to send him home. As the car made a U-turn in front of the apartment, the dimly lit path was illuminated by the flickering headlights, and a blue Ferrari pulled around the corner.
The man in the car held a cigarette in his hand and spat out a cloud of smoke in his mouth as he watched the car disappear into the distance. Lin Yize extinguished the cigarette butt, opened the car door and came down, looking up at the window with the lights on. He waited for Fu Zhining for one night, clicked on the call interface again and again, and withdrew again and again, but waited for the two of them who were very comfortable.
Ji Luochuan's return became the catalyst for Fu Zhining's divorce, and it also became a time bomb in Lin Yize's heart.
He couldn't go on like this any longer.
There are some things that you keep around you every day, and after a long time, you mistakenly think that they belong to you. But in reality, he never really had it.
This powerful bomb will explode at any time, if he wants to avoid a catastrophe, he must do something to try to stop it, even if he is really powerless in the end, it is better than surrendering early, at least there are no regrets.
