The Queen of Romance: A Summer of Sweet Classics
Chapter 40 Don't Forget
Chapter 40 Don't Forget
In a day's time, it will be Yuanheng's shareholders meeting.Kang Chen didn't knock on the door.He helped her back to the room the night before, and he still had a good demeanor. He glanced at her when he closed the door for her, and finally said good night as usual.
Du Ruoheng closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep.She said too much on her mind tonight, more than in the past three years.This made it difficult for her to respond to him with the same two words.
Du Ruoheng's drunkenness really came to the fore, and soon fell into a deep sleep.It was noon when she woke up again, and she touched her cell phone in a trance, only to realize that the lawyer she had entrusted had called her countless times.
Du Ruoheng suddenly woke up.
After she came to T City, she found a lawyer, and the two signed a power of attorney.This lawyer participated in the shareholders' meeting in the name of Du Ruoheng's full authorization to exercise voting rights.Du Ruoheng agreed to help, but didn't want to appear at the shareholders' meeting.
There should be many familiar faces there, all of them are old people from the past.She doesn't want to show up.Before last night, her decision with the lawyer had not changed. Last night she confronted Kang Chen after she was drunk, but forgot all about it.
Du Ruoheng dialed the phone, and the news sent over there was as expected: "Miss Du, I have already voted for the corresponding director according to your wishes."
"..."
Du Ruoheng kept silent, and finally made the other party feel uneasy.He tentatively asked, "Miss Du?"
Du Ruoheng came back to his senses, and pressed his aching temple: "I see, it's fine, I'll trouble you today."
She packed her luggage and went to the airport, and bought a ticket back to S city.
Du Ruoheng was typing the resignation report while waiting to board the plane in the terminal.When Su Qiu learned that Du Ruoheng and Kang Chen were trying to date each other last year, she suggested that she change jobs. Her reason was straightforward: "It's easy to separate business and private. Boss and subordinate, boyfriend and girlfriend, you are a husband and wife shop." , can it be so clearly distinguished? To put it bluntly, if one day there is a conflict over a personal matter, it will be difficult for the two of you to be the boss and the subordinate."
But Kang Chen disagreed at the time.His reason is only one sentence: "I just like the distinction between public and private."
At that time, he looked at her carefully, with a faint smile in his eyes.Kang Chen's ability to say this kind of thing undoubtedly has the meaning of sweet talk between lovers, in addition to this, it should also have an element of confidence in the future.They got along very well back then, and they were always in sync when it came to hotel affairs.But finally got to this point.
It would be a lie to say there was no sadness.
No matter how insignificant a person is, getting along day and night for four years will leave traces in my heart.What's more, Du Ruoheng once sincerely wanted to accept someone.
They comforted each other and solved some difficulties together. They even accompanied Zhou Titi who was sick and had a fever in the hospital together.In the past three years, Kang Chen has given her a lot of relaxed and happy feelings.If there is no general election, maybe the two can continue to get along peacefully.
Sometimes adult feelings are stubborn and worldly.Can't stand the test.No matter how much affection is, it is difficult to go deep.It cannot be said that this breakup is entirely Kang Chen's fault.Many things can eliminate the original sweet feelings. If Du Ruoheng looks at it from a perspective that has nothing to do with herself, she can understand that Kang Chen's interests come first and feelings second. This is the choice that many men will have at this time .
It is also difficult to say that Kang Chen is an out-and-out bad guy.It can only be said that they are not in the same way, and they don't have such a long time to slowly become consistent.Du Ruoheng's appearance came later than Kang Chen's careful planning for decades, and she made him fall in love to a certain extent, but for Kang Chen, his career was probably more like his unforgettable first love.
When the plane lifted into the clouds, Du Ruoheng looked at the clouds outside the porthole.She thought about her mood, and found that she was very empty, and at the same time, she was calmer than when she divorced Zhou Yanchi.
The voting at the Yuanheng Shareholders' Meeting is in its final stage.When the election results were announced, Zhang Yaran didn't dare to look at Zhou Yanchi's face.
There are thirteen members of the board of directors, and a candidate recommended by Zhou Yanchi is on the list.In addition, the two people Zhou Yanchi most wanted to get rid of were also on the list.Someone came to shake hands with Zhou Yanchi, he nodded slightly with a calm expression.
Not far away, Kang Chen smiled gently, shaking hands with those who went to celebrate one by one.When it was Du Ruoheng's turn to entrust the lawyer, the two whispered a few words, Kang Chen was slightly startled, and then smiled deeper.
In the end, Kang Chen came over to shake hands with Zhou Yanchi.Seeing that there was no sense of pride in victory, he still smiled modestly, stretched out his right hand, and said, "Congratulations, Mr. Zhou."
Zhou Yanchi gave him a particularly cold look, and did not respond.
Kang Chen took his hand back as if nothing had happened, smiled, and said in a low voice, "Accept."
Zhang Yaran's first impression of Kang Chen was not bad. After all, he was more youthful and beautiful than most of the other board members of Yuan Heng, and he was a thousand times more amiable than her boss.Such a gentlemanly man even helped her up in time when she almost fell down. Zhang Yaran's impression of Kang Chen couldn't be any better from a purely female point of view.
But for Zhou Yanchi, Kang Chen is like a thorn in the flesh.Kang Chen took the opportunity of Zhou Yanchi's car accident three years ago to enter the board of directors with the fifth total votes, and was immediately warmly welcomed by other members.He doesn't show his edge, respects his elders, handles affairs properly and has affinity, no matter how you look at it, he is the antonym of Zhou Yanchi.The same thing as Zhou Yanchi is that he is equally decisive and forward-looking.The appearance of Kang Chen was like a breath of fresh air, quickly gathering people's hearts, and the members of the board of directors turned their backs one after another, wishing to immediately support a new king to relieve the grievances accumulated over the years.
Most importantly, Kang Chen also caught up with a girlfriend named Du Ruoheng.
Zhang Yaran felt that if there was no last item, although Zhou Yanchi hated Kang Chen, he would not have the idea of chasing him to the ends of the earth.
Three years ago, Kang Chen joined the board of directors, and later became a couple with Du Ruoheng.At that time, Shen Chu persuaded the depressed Zhou Yanchi like this: "Slow down your figure and temper, how could Kang Chen have a chance. All the setbacks you have encountered in these years are all because of this, and you never thought about it. "
Zhou Yanchi said coldly: "The biggest setback I encountered was divorce. The reason for divorce is not this."
Kang Chen replied slowly: "It doesn't matter? I told you that Miss Du must care about your entertainment outside, but you don't believe it. If you had listened to the persuasion earlier, you would not have reached this point."
Zhou Yanchi finally stopped talking.
For a while, Zhou Yanchi really tried to make changes.He tried his best to respect the opinions of other veterans at the board meeting. Before the board meeting was completed in half an hour, Zhou Yanchi listened to the nonsense for two hours without interruption; Abnormally stopped, although still condescending, but still nodded slightly.In the end, even Zhang Yaran was treated courteously. Zhou Yanchi kindly called her to the office that day, and asked her if she was busy or tired recently, and if there were any problems in life that the company needed to help solve.
Zhang Yaran couldn't adapt to Zhou Yanchi's change at all, and almost ran out of the office like a ghost.She cried bitterly and said, boss, what did I do wrong and I can change it? Don't scare me with these words, do you have a fancy for a new lively and beautiful young secretary and want to fire me?
Zhou Yanchi began to rub the center of his eyebrows, saying what you were talking about in a mess, I asked you kindly, and you answered quickly.
Zhang Yaran trembled and said that I didn't need help from the organization, I was self-reliant.
Zhou Yanchi said to give you one last chance.
Zhang Yaran looked at the ceiling and thought for a while, and Zhou Yanchi finally got impatient: "Are you still talking?"
The attitude was not at all like solving a problem, but more like a criminal interrogation.Zhang Yaran's calf softened and he almost knelt down while holding the edge of the table. With tears in his eyes, he turned to Zhou Yanchi and begged, saying, boss, I really have nothing to help, please don't force me, okay?
Zhou Yanchi finally frowned, raised his hand slightly, and said a word to her: "Get lost."
So Zhang Yaran got out.While closing the office door, I confirmed the eight words that the country is easy to change and the nature is hard to change.Zhou Yanchi didn't even bother to give alms to this patience, he definitely didn't really want to change.
Sure enough, within half a month, Zhang Yaran heard about Zhou Yanchi's anger at the temporary meeting of the board of directors.He criticized Kang Chen's proposal thoroughly, and he didn't allow Kang Chen to interject a word.Zhou Yanchi talked for 10 minutes at the meeting, all about his own intentions for the company's future development, and then directly announced the adjournment of the meeting.
Shen Chu's advice to Zhou Yanchi turned out to be ineffective in the end, on the contrary, the more he changed, the greater the rebound. In the final analysis, Yuanheng still had Zhou Yanchi's own words.
So Zhang Yaran couldn't help but speculate when he had some free time, whether Zhou Yanchi's so-called clearing up of flowers and plants in the past year and a half, was he really planning to wash his hands and turn his back on the evil, or his cultivation method had advanced to a higher level and had reached the level of everyone It's an imperceptible environment.
Based on the clues that Zhang Yaran has so far, since Zhou Yanchi completely cut off the scandal a year and a half ago until now, he has indeed never had any intimate behaviors with any women.
After Zhou Yanchi's car accident three years ago was known to others one after another, Zhang Yaran had answered the calls of countless beautiful women on his behalf.Among them are Su Yun, Wen Huai, Lan Yurou, and various women whose names even Zhang Yaran has never heard of.Secretary Zhang did her duty and wrote down all these names in a small notebook. Later, she told Zhou Yanchi the names of these women one by one, and the latter waved his hand to stop after she read two or three.It was the vernal equinox at that time, and the buds on the ground were turning green, but Zhou's house was still sweltering with heat.Zhang Yaran entered the room wearing a thin sweater, her forehead was covered with sweat immediately.Zhou Yanchi was lying on the sofa with his eyes closed, his lips had turned pale for many days, and his whole body was wrapped in a thick, airtight blanket.
Zhang Yaran was hot for him, but Zhou Yanchi didn't break a sweat.He told her slowly: "Don't mention this kind of thing to me again in the future."
Zhang Yaran felt a little unbelievable, she wondered if she hadn't grasped the exact intention of the boss.So she stood there for a long time and did not leave. After a while, she asked cautiously: "The thing you said...are you specifically referring to the phone call, or do you want to ignore these women from now on?"
Zhou Yanchi frowned and glanced at her, his eyes were full of contempt, he didn't even bother to answer her a word.
Looking back, Zhang Yaran analyzed it all afternoon, and felt without confidence that Zhou Yanchi should be referring to the former one.But the facts prove that what Zhou Yanchi practiced seems to be the second one.It took more than three months for Zhou Yanchi to fully recover from the car accident. Since then, Zhang Yaran has never seen Zhou Yanchi with other women around him.Shen Chu once asked Zhou Yanchi to go to Mingdu together, but he refused several times in a row.
Shen Chu finally noticed the change in him, and asked with a smile if something went wrong because his vitality hadn't recovered yet.
He said in a nonchalant way: "There are beauties all over tea. If something goes wrong with you, I will keep it for you to relax comfortably. How long has it been since you went there? Don't you miss it?"
Zhou Yanchi said, "I'll call Zhang Yaran here, and you can say it again in front of her."
Shen Chu shut up.After a while, just like Zhang Yaran, he couldn't believe it: "Are you really planning to be ascetic from now on?"
These two were not alone in their skepticism.All the friends around were surprised by Zhou Yanchi's behavior.For them, his attitude undoubtedly changed a little quickly. Zhou Yanchi seemed to suddenly restrain himself overnight, and stopped going to all sensual occasions, even small gatherings.
But he didn't cater, and some women still took the initiative.If there is no sensual occasion, there are always other places.Zhou Yanchi's word-of-mouth has always been ambiguous, and few people believe that he has really been calm since then.Maybe it was just a momentary discovery of his conscience, or for other reasons, in short, Zhou Yanchi will definitely return to his original state in a short time.
Zhang Yaran confirmed that it was more than half a year after Zhou Yanchi completely cut off the scandal.Zhang Yaran was chatting with a young girl that day, and the other party mentioned Zhou Yanchi's abnormal expression of awe. Zhang Yaran asked for a long time before she hesitated and said, "I heard that Mr. Zhou hates girls who take the initiative to come forward?"
Zhang Yaran thought he was listening to a joke: "...huh?"
"Our company has a colleague surnamed Yang who is very pretty. I met Mr. Zhou at a dinner two days ago. I just sent him a few text messages, but yesterday my face was swollen into a peach from crying for some reason, and I was even beaten Sudden resignation."
"..."
Zhang Yaran discussed this issue with Zhou Yanchi's second secretary, but because they both felt that they had no confidence, the bet had to be dropped.They all agreed that the saying that the country is easy to change and the nature cannot be changed is a universal theory for Zhou Yanchi. He can't change his arrogant and arbitrary temper, and it is unlikely that he can completely change his nature of provoking flowers and plants.It's the same no matter what you do on the surface.
The more restrained, the more rebounded. Even after such a long time, the secretary's collective opinion still dare not be shaken.
Du Ruoheng returned to Jingman, called the manager of the finance department who usually got along the most harmoniously, to the office, and explained the matter in detail.After talking for a long time, the other party finally realized something was wrong: "What does Manager Du mean? You want to leave?"
Du Ruoheng smiled slightly: "I have this plan. But I haven't gone through the resignation procedures, so don't say it."
The other party opened his eyes and stared blankly for a while: "...Why?!"
Du Ruoheng understated: "I've been in one place for a long time, and I want to change the environment. Do you have any intention of taking an administrative position? Your work ability is very strong, and I can try to introduce you."
The other party shook his head: "I can't do this. Do you think I am very capable at work?"
"I can deal with those financial statements with peace of mind, and handle interpersonal relationships pretty well." Du Ruoheng said with a smile, "Isn't that a strong work ability?"
The other party suddenly said: "Whatever is strong, I have no choice but to do so. This is the limit. If you ask me to be an administrative post, you might as well ask me to resign." He also said, "You already have a new employer?"
"I'm Naked Ci."
The other party was dazed for a while, and finally said: "That's a pity. You are more suitable for this position than the other deputy general managers."
Du Ruoheng smiled and said, "Because I am patient, meticulous, sensible, and general?"
The opponent nodded heavily.Du Ruoheng looked at her with his hands on his chin for a while, the corners of his mouth became wider and wider, and finally he couldn't help laughing.
In the evening, Du Ruoheng thought that the voting at the shareholder meeting in T City should have come to an end, so he sent Kang Chen the resignation email before leaving Jingman.Not long after she received a call, the background on Kang Chen's side was slightly noisy, there was a sound of laughter, and someone vaguely said congratulations to Chairman Kang.After a while the other side became quiet, Kang Chen walked to a secluded place and said to her, "You don't have to do this."
Du Ruoheng was driving, and replied softly, "It's better to resign."
Kang Chen paused for a moment: "If you like this position very much, I can resign and recommend you to the headquarters as the general manager. With your handling ability and work experience, it is enough to manage a hotel in an orderly manner."
Du Ruoheng said, "It's okay. That's fine."
In the evening, Du Ruoheng called Zhou Titi to discuss with her daughter when to pick her up and return to S City.Zhou Titi was playing a game of building wooden houses, and casually said that whenever Uncle Kang Chen leaves, I will leave as well.
Du Ruoheng said softly, "Mom will pick you up. Set it up on Sunday night, okay? You have to go to school on Monday."
"Why didn't Uncle Kang Chen pick it up? Has he already returned to S City?"
"He has his business. Mom will pick you up."
Zhou Titi thought for a while, and suddenly said, "Mom, can I stay in T City for a few more days?"
"why?"
"Father doesn't seem to be in a good mood these two days. He went into the study after he came back tonight and didn't eat much for dinner." Zhou Titi said, "Grandpa Wu just told me that if I leave, he will feel even worse."
Du Ruoheng was silent for a while, and said, "Ask the housekeeper to answer the phone."
After a while, someone picked up the microphone, but it was a low voice "Hello".
Du Ruoheng paused: "I want to ask the housekeeper how Titi has been doing these two days."
"She is fine. She eats well, sleeps well, and plays well." Zhou Yanchi said, "I went out with the housekeeper on weekends and ran into the front desk of the kindergarten. The two recognized each other, played all day, and finally separated. I was still very sad at the time.”
Du Ruoheng paused for a while.Say, "How are you?"
Zhou Yanchi was silent for a moment, then said lightly: "It's not very good."
Zhou Yanchi's plan was very clear.If the car accident did not affect him three years ago, he would have removed Kang Zaicheng from the board of directors, and Kang Chen would not have joined the board of directors.For so many years, Yuan Heng has been walking in the direction planned by Zhou Yanchi until an accident occurred three years ago.
If Kang Chen didn't show up, Yuan Heng would be He Qing Haiyan's state to Zhou Yanchi.After Kang Chen appeared, Zhou Yanchi was very unhappy with his performance in all aspects.
Especially today.
Du Ruoheng thought for a while, then suddenly said: "I'm sorry. I didn't want to vote for Kang Chen at first, but I forgot in a blink of an eye. When I woke up today, the entrusted lawyer had already finished voting."
Zhou Yanchi didn't hear much of what she said later.All his attention was drawn to Du Ruoheng's sorry.This is simply the same as the Arabian Nights.Du Ruoheng hadn't given him a good face for many years, and she apologized to him tonight.
Zhou Yanchi was stunned for a rare moment, and it took him a long time to remember what Du Ruoheng said just now.He quickly asked what happened to her and Kang Chen.
Du Ruoheng said flatly: "There was a quarrel."
Zhou Yanchi lowered his voice, like coaxing Zhou Titi to stop crying when he was one year old: "Why did you quarrel?"
"There are conflicting ideas, different ideas, and different personalities."
"Which aspect of your personality is inconsistent?"
Du Ruoheng finally became impatient: "Why do you have so many questions?"
If they were really a pair of ordinary friends with a calm heart, they would probably say something like "How can a couple not quarrel, and they will reconcile naturally after a while", but Zhou Yanchi's words like this can kill him now life.This was the only good news he heard today, and he just barely blurted out "good fight".
Zhou Yanchi pondered for a while, and said, don't be angry.
"Zhou Titi wants to stay in City T for two more days, but her studies can't be delayed any longer. The midterm exam is coming soon." Du Ruoheng changed the subject, "I'll take her back to City S on Sunday night."
Zhou Yanchi said, "What did Kang Chen do to make you angry? Does the quarrel between you two have anything to do with this board election?"
"Did you hear what I said?"
Zhou Yanchi pondered for a while: "Did Kang Chen ask you to vote at the shareholder meeting?"
Du Ruoheng said coldly, "Just say one more thing, and I'll hang up."
Zhou Yanchi turned around and said, "Okay, don't mention it."
Both of them were quiet for a while, and Du Ruoheng said in a low voice: "Today's voting result has a great influence on you?"
She was rarely calm, and it was impossible for Zhou Yanchi to break this atmosphere.Finally, he replied softly: "It's not very big."
"to be frank."
Zhou Yanchi still said the same thing: "It's really not very big."
"So your current position will be affected?"
"will not."
Du Ruoheng was quiet for a while, and suddenly said, "I'm not sorry for you. It's personal freedom to vote for."
"I know. I haven't thought about it that way." Zhou Yanchi said softly, "From my own point of view, of course I don't encourage it. But from your point of view, I can understand."
Du Ruoheng seldom speaks upside down and illogically. If it becomes like this, there will always be a special reason.As long as she is willing to talk to him, Zhou Yanchi will have a solution, just like now, he can vaguely feel that she is distressed.
He asked her to think, and when she opened her mouth, she heard the faint sound of treetops flicking over there.Zhou Yanchi said, "Are you on the balcony?"
Du Ruoheng seemed to have never heard of it, and suddenly said lightly: "There is nothing to understand, we have already broken up."
Zhou Yanchi suspected that he didn't hear clearly, so he asked subconsciously, but Du Ruoheng didn't reply.Zhou Yanchi paused for a long while, but still felt that it was his own problem, so he asked again: "Did you break up with Kang Chen?"
Du Ruoheng responded silently, expressing his acquiescence.
"Really broke up?" Zhou Yanchi asked, "Why did you break up? When did it happen? Why did you break up?"
Then Du Ruoheng's tone became impatient again: "Are you annoying? You can't mention any of these!"
"Okay, don't mention it, let's not mention it." Zhou Yanchi's mood this day is so complicated that it is indescribable. That's fine. It's fine if we split up."
Zhou Yanchi thought for a while, then said, "What do you plan to do with Jing Man's work in the future?"
Du Ruoheng regretted bringing up these topics with him, and every question Zhou Yanchi asked made her feel inexplicably annoyed.Her answer became cold: "I have already resigned."
Zhou Yanchi didn't reply for a long time.Tonight Du Ruoheng talked to him more than in a year, not to mention every answer she gave was beyond his expectation, like huge fireworks exploding in front of his eyes.It was difficult to find a suitable response and words, Zhou Yanchi finally said after deliberation: "You can take this opportunity to go out and relax. You were busy with work and took care of your daughter before, so why not treat yourself this time, Titi will be up to me take care of."
"How do you take care of her going to school in S city?"
Zhou Yanchi said it gently and naturally: "Let her transfer back to T city to study elementary school. After you finish relaxing, come back to T city together."
Du Ruoheng asked back, "Why should I go back to City T?"
Zhou Yanchi said softly, "Jobs can be found anywhere, and you don't have to find them in S City."
Du Ruoheng was silent for a while, then suddenly smiled softly.She said, "You should understand one thing. I came to S City five years ago not for Jing Man and Kang Chen."
The phone was hung up at the same time the voice fell.Zhou Titi was squatting aside in a mushroom shape to eavesdrop, when she heard a crisp click over there.The father and daughter looked at each other, and finally Zhou Titi rested her chin on her hands, looked up at him with a pair of bright eyes, and opened and closed her mouth: "Dad, you messed things up again, didn't you?"
Du Ruoheng slept late the night before, and woke up late the next day.Wang Feifei called her and asked her when she could come to Jingman, and someone sent her a letter.
Wang Feifei said: "The address on the postmark is Gansu."
Du Ruoheng remembered.Some time ago, Shen Chu asked Zhou Yanchi to sign the property transfer agreement in his capacity as attorney representing Zhou Yanchi. The two exchanged a few words, and the next day Du Ruoheng really started looking for ways to donate. She donated to several Hope Primary Schools in the western mountainous area. Textbooks, and also subsidized two children in mountainous areas to study and go to school.
Du Ruoheng was going to visit Jingman when he heard someone coughing from downstairs.She turned her head, and Zhou Yanchi was standing not far away, looking at her.
The two looked at each other for a moment, and Zhou Yanchi said without changing his face: "Business trip. Passing by."
Ten minutes later, the two sat in a nearby fast food restaurant and had breakfast.Du Ruoheng took a bite of the hamburger, Zhou Yanchi received a call, he glanced at it, and then hung up.Then he looked at the food with a look of disgust.Du Ruoheng said slowly, "Leave if you don't eat."
Zhou Yanchi closed his eyes and swallowed the thing.Du Ruoheng asked him, "Really on a business trip?"
Zhou Yanchi looked at her for a while. "Fake."
Du Ruoheng snorted.Then he said, "Then why lie to people?"
"..."
"You have come to S city, why don't you bring Titi with you?"
"..."
Zhou Yanchi looked at her for a while.Said: "It was Zhang Yaran's call just now."
Du Ruoheng slightly raised his eyebrows: "So?"
"There is no reason." Zhou Yanchi said, "Just to talk about it."
"Need not."
This time she was very kind, she didn't even have any sarcasm, she just told him no need.If you change it to another way of expression, it's nothing more than - I know you want to report to me. Although it has nothing to do with me, it's your freedom to say it or not. If you really want to say it, I can't help it.But it really doesn't matter.
This attitude is slightly better than treating a passer-by. It is purely polite, without any signs of personal feelings.This made Zhou Yanchi overwhelmed.Although he has made a lot of preparations just now, it is still difficult to continue the following topic.
He thought about saying it, and it seemed that it was very difficult from the beginning to the end: "In the past three years, I haven't found another woman."
Du Ruoheng stopped and looked up at him.
She didn't speak, just looked at him, her eyes were hard to understand, as if she was researching, and seemed to be thinking.Zhou Yanchi hardly knew what to say.His words changed out of nowhere.Especially now that it's in a fast food restaurant, where the environment is lively and noisy, he can't guarantee that Du Ruoheng really understands what he means.
The two were silent for a while."It's not what you think," he finally said.
Du Ruoheng asked back, "How do you know what I'm thinking?"
Zhou Yanchi has never found it so difficult to speak.He was silent for a long time before opening his mouth: "I have no other intentions and no malice. I just want to tell you that I have been changing in the past three years."
Du Ruoheng lowered his eyes and remained silent.Zhou Yanchi added after a while: "If you ask a little bit, you can know that I don't even have scandals now."
Both of them stopped talking, and each had their own thoughts.For Zhou Yanchi, it is very difficult for him to say something like "We two start again", even though he may have rehearsed it countless times in his heart.Du Ruoheng's expression was as calm as water, so he had to hide most of his emotions.
And when such a topic was brought up, Du Ruoheng was destined not to have a good reaction.Before today, the two hadn't had a serious conversation about the word loyalty.Ten years ago, both parties believed that this was beyond doubt, and three years ago, it was a taboo. Du Ruoheng's bloodiest scar was a pimple that could not heal even after two years of divorce.At that time, she would get angry seeing him, let alone sit down face to face and discuss this topic.
What's more, even if we really sit down and discuss at that time, there will be no good results.At that time, Zhou Yanchi hadn't shown any signs of complete repentance. If he was really someone who others said was wrong, he would correct it immediately, and they didn't have to divorce.At the same time, Du Ruoheng didn't have to be neglected by him for more than two months after the showdown with him.At that time, there was no news from him, and all the previous signs of reconciliation came to an abrupt end, except for Zhou Yanchi's refusal to change, he didn't think about him.
Du Ruoheng suddenly lost her appetite, and she put the food in her hand back on the dinner plate.
"When did you change your mind?" she asked.
"what do you mean?"
Du Ruoheng said very calmly: "Cultivate one's morality, be loyal and unswerving."
Zhou Yanchi was not used to these eight characters.After a while, he said, "Three years ago."
"When was three years ago?"
He paused again, then said, "After the car accident."
"Why did you suddenly think of this after the car accident?"
"..."
Du Ruoheng smiled suddenly: "It's not convenient to answer? You might as well listen to me and see if I'm right. You were in a car accident, and everyone was leaving, and no one went to the hospital to see you. You must feel bad when you wake up. Probably you didn’t think the separation of body and mind was a big deal at first, but you definitely don’t like the result. In the past three years, you have weighed between maintaining the original appearance and making changes. In the end, you may feel that Zhou Titi’s weight, In other words, Zhou Titi and I weigh a little more than people like Lan Yurou Wenhuai, so you have chosen to compromise now - am I wrong?"
Zhou Yanchi looked at her and said, "Aheng, don't underestimate your influence on me."
"I don't dare to overestimate." Du Ruoheng said very honestly, "It might have been possible before, but now I have lost this confidence."
These words made Zhou Yanchi silent.Du Ruoheng watched the silence outside the window for a while, then stood up suddenly: "Forget it, I shouldn't be too serious."
She walked out, and Zhou Yan followed behind her unhurriedly.Du Ruoheng wanted to go back to Jingman, Zhou Yanchi followed her to a park near Jingman, and then stopped.Du Ruoheng subconsciously turned his head and glanced at him, and he explained lightly: "You just broke up with Kang Chen, and my appearance with you may have an impact on your reputation."
Du Ruoheng seemed to have heard a joke, and couldn't help raising his eyebrows to look at him.Then the corner of the mouth curved upward: "It's really surprising that I can hear this sentence from you."
Her subtext is obvious.When he had affairs with other women before the divorce, he basically didn't think about her reputation.Five years after the divorce he said that.If she could have considered her situation at that time, they probably wouldn't have reached this point now.
Zhou Yan was speechless, he had nothing to say to her accusation.
Du Ruoheng went back to Jingman, got the envelope, and used a pen in the lobby rest area to reply neatly to the children in the mountain area.She wrote very carefully and carefully, but also very slowly, deliberately taking a long time.An hour and a half later, she and Wang Feifei went to the staff cafeteria for lunch, and the two chatted for a while.
At that time, Kang Chen and Du Ruoheng confirmed their relationship, and Wang Feifei was one of the first batch of insiders.Women and women often form friendships by sharing tastes, and then strengthen relationships by sharing secrets.Wang Feifei is very knowledgeable and interesting on these two points, and her relationship with Du Ruoheng has always been considered good.When the two of them were eating together, Du Ruoheng told her about breaking up with Kang Chen.
Wang Feifei was stunned for a long time before she spoke: "I just said why you resigned suddenly... What kind of conflict did you have?"
Du Ruoheng simply replied: "The personalities don't match."
"Is it irreparable?"
Du Ruoheng said, "It should be like this."
Wang Feifei let out a hey, a little bit emotional.She didn't get to the bottom of it, and turned to ask after a while: "What are your plans for the future?"
Du Ruoheng was actually at a loss for this question.She was in a daze for a moment, and then said to take a step at a time, it might be good to take care of her daughter at home first.
Wang Feifei thought for her for a while, and said: "Isn't your ex-husband in T city? Or you can take Titi back to live for a while. The little girl is so favored by her father, and she hasn't seen each other for three years. If I don’t say it, I must be very reluctant.”
"Children in single-parent families are not easy." Wang Feifei continued, "My cousin was divorced and married before, thinking that her daughter was well-behaved and sensible enough to accept a new father, so she didn't do a good job with her psychological work. My cousin just found out that her daughter has child depression."
Du Ruoheng said, "Let me think about it."
Wang Feifei checked her face, and finally asked tentatively: "You still hate your ex-husband now?"
"No."
Wang Feifei couldn't believe it, her eyes kept thinking on her face.Du Ruoheng smiled: "It's true."
In all fairness, she really doesn't hate Zhou Yanchi much anymore.Whether it was his attitude, or the passing of time, or both.All in all, Du Ruoheng didn't mention Zhou Yanchi for three years. After three years, she found that the lesson Zhou Yanchi taught her was far deeper than hatred.Although I still can't help but want to sarcasm when mentioning the past, my emotions and attitude are much milder than before.
Du Ruoheng thought, this should be considered a good thing.No one wants to move forward with heavy burdens if they can live more easily.
It must be said that the relationship between the two is still the result of Zhou Yanchi's unilateral refusal to give up.Five years after the two divorced, Zhou Yanchi still treated her the same as before. To be honest, this kind of relationship was a little deeper than Du Ruoheng originally thought.In the past three years, Du Ruoheng had also dreamed of Zhou Yanchi occasionally in the dead of night, but of course they were all nightmares, dreaming that he was happier and happier than before without her. wife.
So this morning when Zhou Yanchi confessed his situation in the past three years, Du Ruoheng was actually a little surprised.
Du Ruoheng didn't leave Jing Man until two o'clock in the afternoon.From a distance, I saw Zhou Yanchi waiting outside the park, sitting on a bench with a cup of coffee in his hand.
When Du Ruoheng got closer, he asked him when he would return to T City.
She shook the phone in her hand with him: "Zhang Yaran called you, and the phone was always turned off. She just urged me. She might be really anxious."
Zhou Yanchi said directly that there was nothing wrong with her, so don't pay attention to her.
Du Ruoheng glanced at him: "Do you know that sometimes your actions are quite unbearable?"
Zhou Yanchi said, "Tell me what I do."
Du Ruoheng said it very simply: "No one is arrogant, self-willed, arrogant, arrogant. Dictatorship, tyranny."
Zhou Yanchi digested these words for a while before he said, "If you want me to change it, I can change it."
Du Ruoheng looked at him in surprise: "What does it have to do with me. It's all your own fault."
She went to the supermarket to buy a few bottles of yogurt and came home in the evening.Zhou Yanchi followed her all the time, Du Ruoheng stared at her coldly for a while when he was paying the bill, and then he stopped.He followed her all the way to the door of the house. After Du Ruoheng opened the door, he blocked him outside: "Are you going back to T city today?"
Zhou Yanchi said he would not reply.
"Then go to the hotel."
He looked down at her slightly, with his back against the light in the corridor, outlining the silhouette of a mature man.His eyes were very peaceful, revealing a trace of tenderness, and he asked her softly, "Can I live here?"
Du Ruoheng said: "You have a good idea." The door has been slammed shut in front of his eyes.
Du Ruoheng fried a piece of steak for herself, which is her specialty recently.The room was filled with the aroma of food, and two hours after she tasted it, there was no sound outside.Du Ruoheng walked over and looked out through the cat's eyes. Zhou Yanchi was still waiting outside and never left.
He heard her footsteps, turned his head and looked at her through the door panel.Then he called out to her, and his voice slowly returned.
Du Ruoheng said, "You just leave, I won't open the door."
"I'm a little dizzy," he said.
"Don't make bitter tricks, you know it's useless."
"I'm really dizzy."
"You might as well just say that your stomach hurts more truthfully."
Zhou Yan remained silent for a while, feeling a little helpless: "Recall, when have I ever lied to you in these years?"
After a few minutes, the door was opened from the inside.Du Ruoheng stood at the door and asked, "What are you doing in City S?"
He said softly, "I don't want any more misunderstanding between the two of us."
"Don't worry, I have no misunderstanding."
Zhou Yanchi looked at her for a while: "I still want to see you."
Du Ruoheng suddenly said, "Do you still hope to get back together?"
She asked so directly that people couldn't guard against it.After reacting, Zhou Yanchi easily nodded and admitted: "Yes."
Du Ruoheng thought for a moment, then said after recovering, "This is impossible."
Zhou Yanchi did not respond.There are many meanings in the way she looks at her.
Du Ruoheng said with a cold face: "You shouldn't do this. This is not the best choice."
Zhou Yanchi said, "There is no choice. You are the most important thing."
He said these words as naturally as breathing, and there was no tenderness and sweetness in it.Zhou Yanchi doesn't understand love words, and after all these years, he still doesn't understand.What he told her over and over in the past was only a few words, and he seldom said it sweetly. When Du Ruoheng wanted to hear it, he would say something to suit the atmosphere, but most of the time he didn't exaggerate, just fluent Generally speaking, it is often the emotion in the eyes and body movements that is stronger than the words.
Du Ruoheng thought of something, she didn't speak again, and let him into the room sideways.Then he turned and went into the bedroom without saying a word, locked the door behind him, left Zhou Yanchi alone in the living room, and ignored him for a long time.
(End of this chapter)
In a day's time, it will be Yuanheng's shareholders meeting.Kang Chen didn't knock on the door.He helped her back to the room the night before, and he still had a good demeanor. He glanced at her when he closed the door for her, and finally said good night as usual.
Du Ruoheng closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep.She said too much on her mind tonight, more than in the past three years.This made it difficult for her to respond to him with the same two words.
Du Ruoheng's drunkenness really came to the fore, and soon fell into a deep sleep.It was noon when she woke up again, and she touched her cell phone in a trance, only to realize that the lawyer she had entrusted had called her countless times.
Du Ruoheng suddenly woke up.
After she came to T City, she found a lawyer, and the two signed a power of attorney.This lawyer participated in the shareholders' meeting in the name of Du Ruoheng's full authorization to exercise voting rights.Du Ruoheng agreed to help, but didn't want to appear at the shareholders' meeting.
There should be many familiar faces there, all of them are old people from the past.She doesn't want to show up.Before last night, her decision with the lawyer had not changed. Last night she confronted Kang Chen after she was drunk, but forgot all about it.
Du Ruoheng dialed the phone, and the news sent over there was as expected: "Miss Du, I have already voted for the corresponding director according to your wishes."
"..."
Du Ruoheng kept silent, and finally made the other party feel uneasy.He tentatively asked, "Miss Du?"
Du Ruoheng came back to his senses, and pressed his aching temple: "I see, it's fine, I'll trouble you today."
She packed her luggage and went to the airport, and bought a ticket back to S city.
Du Ruoheng was typing the resignation report while waiting to board the plane in the terminal.When Su Qiu learned that Du Ruoheng and Kang Chen were trying to date each other last year, she suggested that she change jobs. Her reason was straightforward: "It's easy to separate business and private. Boss and subordinate, boyfriend and girlfriend, you are a husband and wife shop." , can it be so clearly distinguished? To put it bluntly, if one day there is a conflict over a personal matter, it will be difficult for the two of you to be the boss and the subordinate."
But Kang Chen disagreed at the time.His reason is only one sentence: "I just like the distinction between public and private."
At that time, he looked at her carefully, with a faint smile in his eyes.Kang Chen's ability to say this kind of thing undoubtedly has the meaning of sweet talk between lovers, in addition to this, it should also have an element of confidence in the future.They got along very well back then, and they were always in sync when it came to hotel affairs.But finally got to this point.
It would be a lie to say there was no sadness.
No matter how insignificant a person is, getting along day and night for four years will leave traces in my heart.What's more, Du Ruoheng once sincerely wanted to accept someone.
They comforted each other and solved some difficulties together. They even accompanied Zhou Titi who was sick and had a fever in the hospital together.In the past three years, Kang Chen has given her a lot of relaxed and happy feelings.If there is no general election, maybe the two can continue to get along peacefully.
Sometimes adult feelings are stubborn and worldly.Can't stand the test.No matter how much affection is, it is difficult to go deep.It cannot be said that this breakup is entirely Kang Chen's fault.Many things can eliminate the original sweet feelings. If Du Ruoheng looks at it from a perspective that has nothing to do with herself, she can understand that Kang Chen's interests come first and feelings second. This is the choice that many men will have at this time .
It is also difficult to say that Kang Chen is an out-and-out bad guy.It can only be said that they are not in the same way, and they don't have such a long time to slowly become consistent.Du Ruoheng's appearance came later than Kang Chen's careful planning for decades, and she made him fall in love to a certain extent, but for Kang Chen, his career was probably more like his unforgettable first love.
When the plane lifted into the clouds, Du Ruoheng looked at the clouds outside the porthole.She thought about her mood, and found that she was very empty, and at the same time, she was calmer than when she divorced Zhou Yanchi.
The voting at the Yuanheng Shareholders' Meeting is in its final stage.When the election results were announced, Zhang Yaran didn't dare to look at Zhou Yanchi's face.
There are thirteen members of the board of directors, and a candidate recommended by Zhou Yanchi is on the list.In addition, the two people Zhou Yanchi most wanted to get rid of were also on the list.Someone came to shake hands with Zhou Yanchi, he nodded slightly with a calm expression.
Not far away, Kang Chen smiled gently, shaking hands with those who went to celebrate one by one.When it was Du Ruoheng's turn to entrust the lawyer, the two whispered a few words, Kang Chen was slightly startled, and then smiled deeper.
In the end, Kang Chen came over to shake hands with Zhou Yanchi.Seeing that there was no sense of pride in victory, he still smiled modestly, stretched out his right hand, and said, "Congratulations, Mr. Zhou."
Zhou Yanchi gave him a particularly cold look, and did not respond.
Kang Chen took his hand back as if nothing had happened, smiled, and said in a low voice, "Accept."
Zhang Yaran's first impression of Kang Chen was not bad. After all, he was more youthful and beautiful than most of the other board members of Yuan Heng, and he was a thousand times more amiable than her boss.Such a gentlemanly man even helped her up in time when she almost fell down. Zhang Yaran's impression of Kang Chen couldn't be any better from a purely female point of view.
But for Zhou Yanchi, Kang Chen is like a thorn in the flesh.Kang Chen took the opportunity of Zhou Yanchi's car accident three years ago to enter the board of directors with the fifth total votes, and was immediately warmly welcomed by other members.He doesn't show his edge, respects his elders, handles affairs properly and has affinity, no matter how you look at it, he is the antonym of Zhou Yanchi.The same thing as Zhou Yanchi is that he is equally decisive and forward-looking.The appearance of Kang Chen was like a breath of fresh air, quickly gathering people's hearts, and the members of the board of directors turned their backs one after another, wishing to immediately support a new king to relieve the grievances accumulated over the years.
Most importantly, Kang Chen also caught up with a girlfriend named Du Ruoheng.
Zhang Yaran felt that if there was no last item, although Zhou Yanchi hated Kang Chen, he would not have the idea of chasing him to the ends of the earth.
Three years ago, Kang Chen joined the board of directors, and later became a couple with Du Ruoheng.At that time, Shen Chu persuaded the depressed Zhou Yanchi like this: "Slow down your figure and temper, how could Kang Chen have a chance. All the setbacks you have encountered in these years are all because of this, and you never thought about it. "
Zhou Yanchi said coldly: "The biggest setback I encountered was divorce. The reason for divorce is not this."
Kang Chen replied slowly: "It doesn't matter? I told you that Miss Du must care about your entertainment outside, but you don't believe it. If you had listened to the persuasion earlier, you would not have reached this point."
Zhou Yanchi finally stopped talking.
For a while, Zhou Yanchi really tried to make changes.He tried his best to respect the opinions of other veterans at the board meeting. Before the board meeting was completed in half an hour, Zhou Yanchi listened to the nonsense for two hours without interruption; Abnormally stopped, although still condescending, but still nodded slightly.In the end, even Zhang Yaran was treated courteously. Zhou Yanchi kindly called her to the office that day, and asked her if she was busy or tired recently, and if there were any problems in life that the company needed to help solve.
Zhang Yaran couldn't adapt to Zhou Yanchi's change at all, and almost ran out of the office like a ghost.She cried bitterly and said, boss, what did I do wrong and I can change it? Don't scare me with these words, do you have a fancy for a new lively and beautiful young secretary and want to fire me?
Zhou Yanchi began to rub the center of his eyebrows, saying what you were talking about in a mess, I asked you kindly, and you answered quickly.
Zhang Yaran trembled and said that I didn't need help from the organization, I was self-reliant.
Zhou Yanchi said to give you one last chance.
Zhang Yaran looked at the ceiling and thought for a while, and Zhou Yanchi finally got impatient: "Are you still talking?"
The attitude was not at all like solving a problem, but more like a criminal interrogation.Zhang Yaran's calf softened and he almost knelt down while holding the edge of the table. With tears in his eyes, he turned to Zhou Yanchi and begged, saying, boss, I really have nothing to help, please don't force me, okay?
Zhou Yanchi finally frowned, raised his hand slightly, and said a word to her: "Get lost."
So Zhang Yaran got out.While closing the office door, I confirmed the eight words that the country is easy to change and the nature is hard to change.Zhou Yanchi didn't even bother to give alms to this patience, he definitely didn't really want to change.
Sure enough, within half a month, Zhang Yaran heard about Zhou Yanchi's anger at the temporary meeting of the board of directors.He criticized Kang Chen's proposal thoroughly, and he didn't allow Kang Chen to interject a word.Zhou Yanchi talked for 10 minutes at the meeting, all about his own intentions for the company's future development, and then directly announced the adjournment of the meeting.
Shen Chu's advice to Zhou Yanchi turned out to be ineffective in the end, on the contrary, the more he changed, the greater the rebound. In the final analysis, Yuanheng still had Zhou Yanchi's own words.
So Zhang Yaran couldn't help but speculate when he had some free time, whether Zhou Yanchi's so-called clearing up of flowers and plants in the past year and a half, was he really planning to wash his hands and turn his back on the evil, or his cultivation method had advanced to a higher level and had reached the level of everyone It's an imperceptible environment.
Based on the clues that Zhang Yaran has so far, since Zhou Yanchi completely cut off the scandal a year and a half ago until now, he has indeed never had any intimate behaviors with any women.
After Zhou Yanchi's car accident three years ago was known to others one after another, Zhang Yaran had answered the calls of countless beautiful women on his behalf.Among them are Su Yun, Wen Huai, Lan Yurou, and various women whose names even Zhang Yaran has never heard of.Secretary Zhang did her duty and wrote down all these names in a small notebook. Later, she told Zhou Yanchi the names of these women one by one, and the latter waved his hand to stop after she read two or three.It was the vernal equinox at that time, and the buds on the ground were turning green, but Zhou's house was still sweltering with heat.Zhang Yaran entered the room wearing a thin sweater, her forehead was covered with sweat immediately.Zhou Yanchi was lying on the sofa with his eyes closed, his lips had turned pale for many days, and his whole body was wrapped in a thick, airtight blanket.
Zhang Yaran was hot for him, but Zhou Yanchi didn't break a sweat.He told her slowly: "Don't mention this kind of thing to me again in the future."
Zhang Yaran felt a little unbelievable, she wondered if she hadn't grasped the exact intention of the boss.So she stood there for a long time and did not leave. After a while, she asked cautiously: "The thing you said...are you specifically referring to the phone call, or do you want to ignore these women from now on?"
Zhou Yanchi frowned and glanced at her, his eyes were full of contempt, he didn't even bother to answer her a word.
Looking back, Zhang Yaran analyzed it all afternoon, and felt without confidence that Zhou Yanchi should be referring to the former one.But the facts prove that what Zhou Yanchi practiced seems to be the second one.It took more than three months for Zhou Yanchi to fully recover from the car accident. Since then, Zhang Yaran has never seen Zhou Yanchi with other women around him.Shen Chu once asked Zhou Yanchi to go to Mingdu together, but he refused several times in a row.
Shen Chu finally noticed the change in him, and asked with a smile if something went wrong because his vitality hadn't recovered yet.
He said in a nonchalant way: "There are beauties all over tea. If something goes wrong with you, I will keep it for you to relax comfortably. How long has it been since you went there? Don't you miss it?"
Zhou Yanchi said, "I'll call Zhang Yaran here, and you can say it again in front of her."
Shen Chu shut up.After a while, just like Zhang Yaran, he couldn't believe it: "Are you really planning to be ascetic from now on?"
These two were not alone in their skepticism.All the friends around were surprised by Zhou Yanchi's behavior.For them, his attitude undoubtedly changed a little quickly. Zhou Yanchi seemed to suddenly restrain himself overnight, and stopped going to all sensual occasions, even small gatherings.
But he didn't cater, and some women still took the initiative.If there is no sensual occasion, there are always other places.Zhou Yanchi's word-of-mouth has always been ambiguous, and few people believe that he has really been calm since then.Maybe it was just a momentary discovery of his conscience, or for other reasons, in short, Zhou Yanchi will definitely return to his original state in a short time.
Zhang Yaran confirmed that it was more than half a year after Zhou Yanchi completely cut off the scandal.Zhang Yaran was chatting with a young girl that day, and the other party mentioned Zhou Yanchi's abnormal expression of awe. Zhang Yaran asked for a long time before she hesitated and said, "I heard that Mr. Zhou hates girls who take the initiative to come forward?"
Zhang Yaran thought he was listening to a joke: "...huh?"
"Our company has a colleague surnamed Yang who is very pretty. I met Mr. Zhou at a dinner two days ago. I just sent him a few text messages, but yesterday my face was swollen into a peach from crying for some reason, and I was even beaten Sudden resignation."
"..."
Zhang Yaran discussed this issue with Zhou Yanchi's second secretary, but because they both felt that they had no confidence, the bet had to be dropped.They all agreed that the saying that the country is easy to change and the nature cannot be changed is a universal theory for Zhou Yanchi. He can't change his arrogant and arbitrary temper, and it is unlikely that he can completely change his nature of provoking flowers and plants.It's the same no matter what you do on the surface.
The more restrained, the more rebounded. Even after such a long time, the secretary's collective opinion still dare not be shaken.
Du Ruoheng returned to Jingman, called the manager of the finance department who usually got along the most harmoniously, to the office, and explained the matter in detail.After talking for a long time, the other party finally realized something was wrong: "What does Manager Du mean? You want to leave?"
Du Ruoheng smiled slightly: "I have this plan. But I haven't gone through the resignation procedures, so don't say it."
The other party opened his eyes and stared blankly for a while: "...Why?!"
Du Ruoheng understated: "I've been in one place for a long time, and I want to change the environment. Do you have any intention of taking an administrative position? Your work ability is very strong, and I can try to introduce you."
The other party shook his head: "I can't do this. Do you think I am very capable at work?"
"I can deal with those financial statements with peace of mind, and handle interpersonal relationships pretty well." Du Ruoheng said with a smile, "Isn't that a strong work ability?"
The other party suddenly said: "Whatever is strong, I have no choice but to do so. This is the limit. If you ask me to be an administrative post, you might as well ask me to resign." He also said, "You already have a new employer?"
"I'm Naked Ci."
The other party was dazed for a while, and finally said: "That's a pity. You are more suitable for this position than the other deputy general managers."
Du Ruoheng smiled and said, "Because I am patient, meticulous, sensible, and general?"
The opponent nodded heavily.Du Ruoheng looked at her with his hands on his chin for a while, the corners of his mouth became wider and wider, and finally he couldn't help laughing.
In the evening, Du Ruoheng thought that the voting at the shareholder meeting in T City should have come to an end, so he sent Kang Chen the resignation email before leaving Jingman.Not long after she received a call, the background on Kang Chen's side was slightly noisy, there was a sound of laughter, and someone vaguely said congratulations to Chairman Kang.After a while the other side became quiet, Kang Chen walked to a secluded place and said to her, "You don't have to do this."
Du Ruoheng was driving, and replied softly, "It's better to resign."
Kang Chen paused for a moment: "If you like this position very much, I can resign and recommend you to the headquarters as the general manager. With your handling ability and work experience, it is enough to manage a hotel in an orderly manner."
Du Ruoheng said, "It's okay. That's fine."
In the evening, Du Ruoheng called Zhou Titi to discuss with her daughter when to pick her up and return to S City.Zhou Titi was playing a game of building wooden houses, and casually said that whenever Uncle Kang Chen leaves, I will leave as well.
Du Ruoheng said softly, "Mom will pick you up. Set it up on Sunday night, okay? You have to go to school on Monday."
"Why didn't Uncle Kang Chen pick it up? Has he already returned to S City?"
"He has his business. Mom will pick you up."
Zhou Titi thought for a while, and suddenly said, "Mom, can I stay in T City for a few more days?"
"why?"
"Father doesn't seem to be in a good mood these two days. He went into the study after he came back tonight and didn't eat much for dinner." Zhou Titi said, "Grandpa Wu just told me that if I leave, he will feel even worse."
Du Ruoheng was silent for a while, and said, "Ask the housekeeper to answer the phone."
After a while, someone picked up the microphone, but it was a low voice "Hello".
Du Ruoheng paused: "I want to ask the housekeeper how Titi has been doing these two days."
"She is fine. She eats well, sleeps well, and plays well." Zhou Yanchi said, "I went out with the housekeeper on weekends and ran into the front desk of the kindergarten. The two recognized each other, played all day, and finally separated. I was still very sad at the time.”
Du Ruoheng paused for a while.Say, "How are you?"
Zhou Yanchi was silent for a moment, then said lightly: "It's not very good."
Zhou Yanchi's plan was very clear.If the car accident did not affect him three years ago, he would have removed Kang Zaicheng from the board of directors, and Kang Chen would not have joined the board of directors.For so many years, Yuan Heng has been walking in the direction planned by Zhou Yanchi until an accident occurred three years ago.
If Kang Chen didn't show up, Yuan Heng would be He Qing Haiyan's state to Zhou Yanchi.After Kang Chen appeared, Zhou Yanchi was very unhappy with his performance in all aspects.
Especially today.
Du Ruoheng thought for a while, then suddenly said: "I'm sorry. I didn't want to vote for Kang Chen at first, but I forgot in a blink of an eye. When I woke up today, the entrusted lawyer had already finished voting."
Zhou Yanchi didn't hear much of what she said later.All his attention was drawn to Du Ruoheng's sorry.This is simply the same as the Arabian Nights.Du Ruoheng hadn't given him a good face for many years, and she apologized to him tonight.
Zhou Yanchi was stunned for a rare moment, and it took him a long time to remember what Du Ruoheng said just now.He quickly asked what happened to her and Kang Chen.
Du Ruoheng said flatly: "There was a quarrel."
Zhou Yanchi lowered his voice, like coaxing Zhou Titi to stop crying when he was one year old: "Why did you quarrel?"
"There are conflicting ideas, different ideas, and different personalities."
"Which aspect of your personality is inconsistent?"
Du Ruoheng finally became impatient: "Why do you have so many questions?"
If they were really a pair of ordinary friends with a calm heart, they would probably say something like "How can a couple not quarrel, and they will reconcile naturally after a while", but Zhou Yanchi's words like this can kill him now life.This was the only good news he heard today, and he just barely blurted out "good fight".
Zhou Yanchi pondered for a while, and said, don't be angry.
"Zhou Titi wants to stay in City T for two more days, but her studies can't be delayed any longer. The midterm exam is coming soon." Du Ruoheng changed the subject, "I'll take her back to City S on Sunday night."
Zhou Yanchi said, "What did Kang Chen do to make you angry? Does the quarrel between you two have anything to do with this board election?"
"Did you hear what I said?"
Zhou Yanchi pondered for a while: "Did Kang Chen ask you to vote at the shareholder meeting?"
Du Ruoheng said coldly, "Just say one more thing, and I'll hang up."
Zhou Yanchi turned around and said, "Okay, don't mention it."
Both of them were quiet for a while, and Du Ruoheng said in a low voice: "Today's voting result has a great influence on you?"
She was rarely calm, and it was impossible for Zhou Yanchi to break this atmosphere.Finally, he replied softly: "It's not very big."
"to be frank."
Zhou Yanchi still said the same thing: "It's really not very big."
"So your current position will be affected?"
"will not."
Du Ruoheng was quiet for a while, and suddenly said, "I'm not sorry for you. It's personal freedom to vote for."
"I know. I haven't thought about it that way." Zhou Yanchi said softly, "From my own point of view, of course I don't encourage it. But from your point of view, I can understand."
Du Ruoheng seldom speaks upside down and illogically. If it becomes like this, there will always be a special reason.As long as she is willing to talk to him, Zhou Yanchi will have a solution, just like now, he can vaguely feel that she is distressed.
He asked her to think, and when she opened her mouth, she heard the faint sound of treetops flicking over there.Zhou Yanchi said, "Are you on the balcony?"
Du Ruoheng seemed to have never heard of it, and suddenly said lightly: "There is nothing to understand, we have already broken up."
Zhou Yanchi suspected that he didn't hear clearly, so he asked subconsciously, but Du Ruoheng didn't reply.Zhou Yanchi paused for a long while, but still felt that it was his own problem, so he asked again: "Did you break up with Kang Chen?"
Du Ruoheng responded silently, expressing his acquiescence.
"Really broke up?" Zhou Yanchi asked, "Why did you break up? When did it happen? Why did you break up?"
Then Du Ruoheng's tone became impatient again: "Are you annoying? You can't mention any of these!"
"Okay, don't mention it, let's not mention it." Zhou Yanchi's mood this day is so complicated that it is indescribable. That's fine. It's fine if we split up."
Zhou Yanchi thought for a while, then said, "What do you plan to do with Jing Man's work in the future?"
Du Ruoheng regretted bringing up these topics with him, and every question Zhou Yanchi asked made her feel inexplicably annoyed.Her answer became cold: "I have already resigned."
Zhou Yanchi didn't reply for a long time.Tonight Du Ruoheng talked to him more than in a year, not to mention every answer she gave was beyond his expectation, like huge fireworks exploding in front of his eyes.It was difficult to find a suitable response and words, Zhou Yanchi finally said after deliberation: "You can take this opportunity to go out and relax. You were busy with work and took care of your daughter before, so why not treat yourself this time, Titi will be up to me take care of."
"How do you take care of her going to school in S city?"
Zhou Yanchi said it gently and naturally: "Let her transfer back to T city to study elementary school. After you finish relaxing, come back to T city together."
Du Ruoheng asked back, "Why should I go back to City T?"
Zhou Yanchi said softly, "Jobs can be found anywhere, and you don't have to find them in S City."
Du Ruoheng was silent for a while, then suddenly smiled softly.She said, "You should understand one thing. I came to S City five years ago not for Jing Man and Kang Chen."
The phone was hung up at the same time the voice fell.Zhou Titi was squatting aside in a mushroom shape to eavesdrop, when she heard a crisp click over there.The father and daughter looked at each other, and finally Zhou Titi rested her chin on her hands, looked up at him with a pair of bright eyes, and opened and closed her mouth: "Dad, you messed things up again, didn't you?"
Du Ruoheng slept late the night before, and woke up late the next day.Wang Feifei called her and asked her when she could come to Jingman, and someone sent her a letter.
Wang Feifei said: "The address on the postmark is Gansu."
Du Ruoheng remembered.Some time ago, Shen Chu asked Zhou Yanchi to sign the property transfer agreement in his capacity as attorney representing Zhou Yanchi. The two exchanged a few words, and the next day Du Ruoheng really started looking for ways to donate. She donated to several Hope Primary Schools in the western mountainous area. Textbooks, and also subsidized two children in mountainous areas to study and go to school.
Du Ruoheng was going to visit Jingman when he heard someone coughing from downstairs.She turned her head, and Zhou Yanchi was standing not far away, looking at her.
The two looked at each other for a moment, and Zhou Yanchi said without changing his face: "Business trip. Passing by."
Ten minutes later, the two sat in a nearby fast food restaurant and had breakfast.Du Ruoheng took a bite of the hamburger, Zhou Yanchi received a call, he glanced at it, and then hung up.Then he looked at the food with a look of disgust.Du Ruoheng said slowly, "Leave if you don't eat."
Zhou Yanchi closed his eyes and swallowed the thing.Du Ruoheng asked him, "Really on a business trip?"
Zhou Yanchi looked at her for a while. "Fake."
Du Ruoheng snorted.Then he said, "Then why lie to people?"
"..."
"You have come to S city, why don't you bring Titi with you?"
"..."
Zhou Yanchi looked at her for a while.Said: "It was Zhang Yaran's call just now."
Du Ruoheng slightly raised his eyebrows: "So?"
"There is no reason." Zhou Yanchi said, "Just to talk about it."
"Need not."
This time she was very kind, she didn't even have any sarcasm, she just told him no need.If you change it to another way of expression, it's nothing more than - I know you want to report to me. Although it has nothing to do with me, it's your freedom to say it or not. If you really want to say it, I can't help it.But it really doesn't matter.
This attitude is slightly better than treating a passer-by. It is purely polite, without any signs of personal feelings.This made Zhou Yanchi overwhelmed.Although he has made a lot of preparations just now, it is still difficult to continue the following topic.
He thought about saying it, and it seemed that it was very difficult from the beginning to the end: "In the past three years, I haven't found another woman."
Du Ruoheng stopped and looked up at him.
She didn't speak, just looked at him, her eyes were hard to understand, as if she was researching, and seemed to be thinking.Zhou Yanchi hardly knew what to say.His words changed out of nowhere.Especially now that it's in a fast food restaurant, where the environment is lively and noisy, he can't guarantee that Du Ruoheng really understands what he means.
The two were silent for a while."It's not what you think," he finally said.
Du Ruoheng asked back, "How do you know what I'm thinking?"
Zhou Yanchi has never found it so difficult to speak.He was silent for a long time before opening his mouth: "I have no other intentions and no malice. I just want to tell you that I have been changing in the past three years."
Du Ruoheng lowered his eyes and remained silent.Zhou Yanchi added after a while: "If you ask a little bit, you can know that I don't even have scandals now."
Both of them stopped talking, and each had their own thoughts.For Zhou Yanchi, it is very difficult for him to say something like "We two start again", even though he may have rehearsed it countless times in his heart.Du Ruoheng's expression was as calm as water, so he had to hide most of his emotions.
And when such a topic was brought up, Du Ruoheng was destined not to have a good reaction.Before today, the two hadn't had a serious conversation about the word loyalty.Ten years ago, both parties believed that this was beyond doubt, and three years ago, it was a taboo. Du Ruoheng's bloodiest scar was a pimple that could not heal even after two years of divorce.At that time, she would get angry seeing him, let alone sit down face to face and discuss this topic.
What's more, even if we really sit down and discuss at that time, there will be no good results.At that time, Zhou Yanchi hadn't shown any signs of complete repentance. If he was really someone who others said was wrong, he would correct it immediately, and they didn't have to divorce.At the same time, Du Ruoheng didn't have to be neglected by him for more than two months after the showdown with him.At that time, there was no news from him, and all the previous signs of reconciliation came to an abrupt end, except for Zhou Yanchi's refusal to change, he didn't think about him.
Du Ruoheng suddenly lost her appetite, and she put the food in her hand back on the dinner plate.
"When did you change your mind?" she asked.
"what do you mean?"
Du Ruoheng said very calmly: "Cultivate one's morality, be loyal and unswerving."
Zhou Yanchi was not used to these eight characters.After a while, he said, "Three years ago."
"When was three years ago?"
He paused again, then said, "After the car accident."
"Why did you suddenly think of this after the car accident?"
"..."
Du Ruoheng smiled suddenly: "It's not convenient to answer? You might as well listen to me and see if I'm right. You were in a car accident, and everyone was leaving, and no one went to the hospital to see you. You must feel bad when you wake up. Probably you didn’t think the separation of body and mind was a big deal at first, but you definitely don’t like the result. In the past three years, you have weighed between maintaining the original appearance and making changes. In the end, you may feel that Zhou Titi’s weight, In other words, Zhou Titi and I weigh a little more than people like Lan Yurou Wenhuai, so you have chosen to compromise now - am I wrong?"
Zhou Yanchi looked at her and said, "Aheng, don't underestimate your influence on me."
"I don't dare to overestimate." Du Ruoheng said very honestly, "It might have been possible before, but now I have lost this confidence."
These words made Zhou Yanchi silent.Du Ruoheng watched the silence outside the window for a while, then stood up suddenly: "Forget it, I shouldn't be too serious."
She walked out, and Zhou Yan followed behind her unhurriedly.Du Ruoheng wanted to go back to Jingman, Zhou Yanchi followed her to a park near Jingman, and then stopped.Du Ruoheng subconsciously turned his head and glanced at him, and he explained lightly: "You just broke up with Kang Chen, and my appearance with you may have an impact on your reputation."
Du Ruoheng seemed to have heard a joke, and couldn't help raising his eyebrows to look at him.Then the corner of the mouth curved upward: "It's really surprising that I can hear this sentence from you."
Her subtext is obvious.When he had affairs with other women before the divorce, he basically didn't think about her reputation.Five years after the divorce he said that.If she could have considered her situation at that time, they probably wouldn't have reached this point now.
Zhou Yan was speechless, he had nothing to say to her accusation.
Du Ruoheng went back to Jingman, got the envelope, and used a pen in the lobby rest area to reply neatly to the children in the mountain area.She wrote very carefully and carefully, but also very slowly, deliberately taking a long time.An hour and a half later, she and Wang Feifei went to the staff cafeteria for lunch, and the two chatted for a while.
At that time, Kang Chen and Du Ruoheng confirmed their relationship, and Wang Feifei was one of the first batch of insiders.Women and women often form friendships by sharing tastes, and then strengthen relationships by sharing secrets.Wang Feifei is very knowledgeable and interesting on these two points, and her relationship with Du Ruoheng has always been considered good.When the two of them were eating together, Du Ruoheng told her about breaking up with Kang Chen.
Wang Feifei was stunned for a long time before she spoke: "I just said why you resigned suddenly... What kind of conflict did you have?"
Du Ruoheng simply replied: "The personalities don't match."
"Is it irreparable?"
Du Ruoheng said, "It should be like this."
Wang Feifei let out a hey, a little bit emotional.She didn't get to the bottom of it, and turned to ask after a while: "What are your plans for the future?"
Du Ruoheng was actually at a loss for this question.She was in a daze for a moment, and then said to take a step at a time, it might be good to take care of her daughter at home first.
Wang Feifei thought for her for a while, and said: "Isn't your ex-husband in T city? Or you can take Titi back to live for a while. The little girl is so favored by her father, and she hasn't seen each other for three years. If I don’t say it, I must be very reluctant.”
"Children in single-parent families are not easy." Wang Feifei continued, "My cousin was divorced and married before, thinking that her daughter was well-behaved and sensible enough to accept a new father, so she didn't do a good job with her psychological work. My cousin just found out that her daughter has child depression."
Du Ruoheng said, "Let me think about it."
Wang Feifei checked her face, and finally asked tentatively: "You still hate your ex-husband now?"
"No."
Wang Feifei couldn't believe it, her eyes kept thinking on her face.Du Ruoheng smiled: "It's true."
In all fairness, she really doesn't hate Zhou Yanchi much anymore.Whether it was his attitude, or the passing of time, or both.All in all, Du Ruoheng didn't mention Zhou Yanchi for three years. After three years, she found that the lesson Zhou Yanchi taught her was far deeper than hatred.Although I still can't help but want to sarcasm when mentioning the past, my emotions and attitude are much milder than before.
Du Ruoheng thought, this should be considered a good thing.No one wants to move forward with heavy burdens if they can live more easily.
It must be said that the relationship between the two is still the result of Zhou Yanchi's unilateral refusal to give up.Five years after the two divorced, Zhou Yanchi still treated her the same as before. To be honest, this kind of relationship was a little deeper than Du Ruoheng originally thought.In the past three years, Du Ruoheng had also dreamed of Zhou Yanchi occasionally in the dead of night, but of course they were all nightmares, dreaming that he was happier and happier than before without her. wife.
So this morning when Zhou Yanchi confessed his situation in the past three years, Du Ruoheng was actually a little surprised.
Du Ruoheng didn't leave Jing Man until two o'clock in the afternoon.From a distance, I saw Zhou Yanchi waiting outside the park, sitting on a bench with a cup of coffee in his hand.
When Du Ruoheng got closer, he asked him when he would return to T City.
She shook the phone in her hand with him: "Zhang Yaran called you, and the phone was always turned off. She just urged me. She might be really anxious."
Zhou Yanchi said directly that there was nothing wrong with her, so don't pay attention to her.
Du Ruoheng glanced at him: "Do you know that sometimes your actions are quite unbearable?"
Zhou Yanchi said, "Tell me what I do."
Du Ruoheng said it very simply: "No one is arrogant, self-willed, arrogant, arrogant. Dictatorship, tyranny."
Zhou Yanchi digested these words for a while before he said, "If you want me to change it, I can change it."
Du Ruoheng looked at him in surprise: "What does it have to do with me. It's all your own fault."
She went to the supermarket to buy a few bottles of yogurt and came home in the evening.Zhou Yanchi followed her all the time, Du Ruoheng stared at her coldly for a while when he was paying the bill, and then he stopped.He followed her all the way to the door of the house. After Du Ruoheng opened the door, he blocked him outside: "Are you going back to T city today?"
Zhou Yanchi said he would not reply.
"Then go to the hotel."
He looked down at her slightly, with his back against the light in the corridor, outlining the silhouette of a mature man.His eyes were very peaceful, revealing a trace of tenderness, and he asked her softly, "Can I live here?"
Du Ruoheng said: "You have a good idea." The door has been slammed shut in front of his eyes.
Du Ruoheng fried a piece of steak for herself, which is her specialty recently.The room was filled with the aroma of food, and two hours after she tasted it, there was no sound outside.Du Ruoheng walked over and looked out through the cat's eyes. Zhou Yanchi was still waiting outside and never left.
He heard her footsteps, turned his head and looked at her through the door panel.Then he called out to her, and his voice slowly returned.
Du Ruoheng said, "You just leave, I won't open the door."
"I'm a little dizzy," he said.
"Don't make bitter tricks, you know it's useless."
"I'm really dizzy."
"You might as well just say that your stomach hurts more truthfully."
Zhou Yan remained silent for a while, feeling a little helpless: "Recall, when have I ever lied to you in these years?"
After a few minutes, the door was opened from the inside.Du Ruoheng stood at the door and asked, "What are you doing in City S?"
He said softly, "I don't want any more misunderstanding between the two of us."
"Don't worry, I have no misunderstanding."
Zhou Yanchi looked at her for a while: "I still want to see you."
Du Ruoheng suddenly said, "Do you still hope to get back together?"
She asked so directly that people couldn't guard against it.After reacting, Zhou Yanchi easily nodded and admitted: "Yes."
Du Ruoheng thought for a moment, then said after recovering, "This is impossible."
Zhou Yanchi did not respond.There are many meanings in the way she looks at her.
Du Ruoheng said with a cold face: "You shouldn't do this. This is not the best choice."
Zhou Yanchi said, "There is no choice. You are the most important thing."
He said these words as naturally as breathing, and there was no tenderness and sweetness in it.Zhou Yanchi doesn't understand love words, and after all these years, he still doesn't understand.What he told her over and over in the past was only a few words, and he seldom said it sweetly. When Du Ruoheng wanted to hear it, he would say something to suit the atmosphere, but most of the time he didn't exaggerate, just fluent Generally speaking, it is often the emotion in the eyes and body movements that is stronger than the words.
Du Ruoheng thought of something, she didn't speak again, and let him into the room sideways.Then he turned and went into the bedroom without saying a word, locked the door behind him, left Zhou Yanchi alone in the living room, and ignored him for a long time.
