warm winter

Yuan Honghao asked her to make an appointment to meet with the person in charge of LYE after the secretary booked the air ticket.Some things are always vague on the phone, and the effect will be better in person.

However, the secretary brought the news that the other party's recent appointments are full, and if they want to meet, they need to wait for three more days.

Yuan Honghao was stunned for a full 3 minutes, he hadn't felt the feeling of being treated coldly for many years.The secretary froze in place and did not dare to make a sound. The president has been very abnormal recently, even if he has been with him for many years, he still can't figure it out.

"Three days, let's just three days. This time, I went to solve the problem. You postpone the meeting and deal with it after I come back." Yuan Honghao chose to compromise.

Even if the president backs down, how dare the secretary remind him that the repeated postponement of the meeting will cause the board of directors to be dissatisfied.Presumably the president also made a choice after full consideration. The secretary was not in a good mood after leaving the president's office.

In her impression, Yuan Honghao is a promising president who is devoted to his career and has a clear distinction between public and private.But this trip to California was obviously full of personal emotions and colors. It was already irrational to suppress the studio at all costs. This time, the quarterly meeting of the board of directors was postponed, and he insisted on contacting LYE, whose business does not overlap. , it was clearly all because of Ye Qing.

The secretary is middle-aged, his family is stable, and he is a strict and responsible person.She couldn't understand why the president would be overwhelmed by love at this age. If the board of directors were to find out, the position of the president might be hit again.

The last time the position of the president was unstable was more than ten years ago. At that time, she just turned around and followed Yuan Honghao, working overtime with him tremblingly, and even stayed up all night until her eyes were bleeding.But at that time, President Yuan was firm and focused, and would not affect his career because of personal affairs.

Unexpectedly, more than ten years later, it will be the east of the river and the west of the river.The secretary was absent-minded for a long time, and finally he could only sigh faintly. Afterwards, he continued to complete the tasks assigned by the president one by one.

If delaying the meeting time is an expression of LYE's perfunctory attitude, Yuan Honghao is too naive.He didn't take any of the company's employees with him, and the trip to California was clearly not about business.But the secretary was still busy in Haicheng for his trip, because just after he boarded the plane, there was a sudden news from LYE that the appointment had to be rescheduled again.

After completing the check-in procedures, Yuan Honghao sat in the living room of the luxurious suite, his face turned pale with anger, and he almost crushed the wine glass in his hand.

The secretary was still waiting for his instructions on the other end of the phone, not daring to answer LYE rashly: "President, what do you mean by the new meeting time?"

Yuan Honghao took a deep breath: "Yes. But you tell LYE, this is the last change."

Yuan Honghao didn't even bother to experience the developed and prosperous cultural industry in California, and he didn't even bother to leave the hotel.The latest news came from his computer from time to time, about his daughter's life in F City.

Xiao Yuan has lost some weight, but she looks more energetic.At least in every photo, she is smiling.

Yuan Honghao deleted the photos of her and Ye Qing together in disgust, and only wanted to see the photos of his daughter alone.But Yuan Yuan spent a long time with Ye Qing, except for going to school, she almost went in and out with Ye Qing.

Yuan Honghao got over the initial annoyance and calmed down slowly.He leaned against the bar and muttered to himself: "Is it really necessary for her?"

I have been in California for two days. I could go to LYE tomorrow, but after the change, I have to wait another day.He came back from the gym, took a brief shower, and didn't want to go out again, so he ordered a meal.

After 10 minutes, the doorbell rang.Yuan Honghao went to open the door in doubt. The chef's speed is too fast, right?

The people outside the door made Yuan Honghao almost panic. He actually forgot all his reactions, but just stood there blankly, and he didn't even remember that his hands were still on the door.

"Xin..." That name was incomplete no matter what, but the first word at the beginning made him feel very sad.

Compared to Yuan Honghao's absent-mindedness and daze, the other party was obviously much calmer.Seeing that he didn't react for a long time, he had no choice but to remind him.

"Mr. Yuan, is it convenient to go in and have a talk?"

Yuan Honghao numbly let go of his hand, and stepped sideways to make way for him. The gentleman's instinct made him subconsciously make a gesture of please.When he saw the back of the other party walking into the room, his nose was a little sore.

The other party walked straight to the sofa in the living room, turned around gracefully, and his demeanor remained unchanged.It seemed that the person in front of him was just an ordinary business negotiator, not a once intimate lover.

"Mr. Yuan doesn't seem to welcome me very much."

Yuan Honghao closed the door and walked over in disordered steps.Relying on years of experience in shopping malls, he managed to maintain his composure.

"How come, I wish for it. I just didn't expect you to appear suddenly." Yuan Honghao's tone was astringent, and he wanted to look at her more, but suddenly he lost the courage to look directly.

When the other party saw him like this, a cold snort escaped from his nose.The sound was extremely soft, but it was like a heavy cannon, which knocked half of Yuan Honghao's beating heart into pieces.

"I didn't plan to come, but you came to California in person, I think we need to have a good talk." The elegant woman took her seat first, not caring about Yuan Honghao's loneliness.

Yuan Honghao was confused, his calmness on the face was just a disguise, and his heart was already in chaos.At this time, he had long lost his arrogance in front of the sudden visitor, and even lost his confidence bit by bit.

"What are you talking about?" Yuan Honghao looked at her blankly. Yuan Yuan was very similar to her, but not exactly the same.

Over the years, Yuan Honghao had fantasized about her appearance countless times.He once wondered if one day when they were old, would they still have a chance to sit down calmly and have a good chat about the past.

Now half of this assumption has been realized, at least they sat down.But he seems to be the only one who gets old, Yuan Honghao doesn't know whether to be happy or sad, his former lover is still beautiful.

"Talk about our daughter, Yuan Yuan." The other party got straight to the point without beating around the bush.

Yuan Honghao showed a wry smile, familiar taste, familiar directness.But things have changed for a long time, but he is ridiculously full of nostalgia.

"Xiaoyuan, she..." Yuan Honghao followed her words, and was about to complain about his daughter's worry-free relationship.

He stopped suddenly and looked at the other person's face intently.Yuan Honghao finally regained his senses: "You already know?"

Seeing that the other party was so calm and indifferent, he wanted to talk about Xiao Yuan.It doesn't look like she is eager to know her daughter's recent situation after not seeing her for many years. There is only one reason that can explain it, that is, she has already seen everything.

The other party smiled at him, but the smile was very shallow, and he didn't care about it at all.

Yuan Honghao was a little injured, but what was even more frustrating was that he had already guessed who the backer behind LYE was.It seems that this time LYE deliberately gave himself a bad start, which is also the meaning of the person in front of him.

"It was you who asked LYE to continue working with Ye Qing?" Although he had already guessed, Yuan Honghao still wanted to confirm it himself.

"Ye Qing is a very talented designer, there is no reason for LYE not to make money. Since you opened your mouth, LYE doesn't want to offend you, so I have to do it, so that LYE can continue to make money, and you won't hold grudges .”

Yuan Honghao gradually regained the feeling he had when getting along with each other before, and when he heard the other party's understatement, he became even more furious.

"You are pampering Yuan Yuan by helping Ye Qing! Do you agree to let your daughter hang out with a woman? Are you going to make her a joke?"

Facing Yuan Honghao's questioning, the woman on the sofa was still elegant.The precipitation of the years and the experience of the world made her exude a kind of light called calmness all over her body.Her mixed-race face is as resolute as a sculpture, but her eyes and the corners of her mouth are occupied by charm.

"A joke? If you love her and support her, how can your Yuan Honghao's daughter become a joke? If you really want to say it is a joke, it is because you gave up on her and wanted her to be a joke."

"Ridiculous! It's too late for me to love her for so many years. I don't agree with anything she wants? But I absolutely can't accept this matter. Do you know who Ye Qing is?"

Yuan Honghao was about to continue talking, but was interrupted by the other party coldly: "Of course I know. Ye Qing is your fiancée, once."

Yuan Honghao was like a balloon that had been punctured, and was immediately deflated.He withdrew his arrogance, opened his mouth several times but couldn't utter a word.

"It's a lot braver than me, at least know how to stop losses in time."

Yuan Honghao looked at her weakly: "What do you mean by that?"

brave?stop loss?Does she even know what she's talking about?Yuan Honghao thought about it angrily, but his momentum still weakened.

"She was probably as naive as me before, but she woke up faster than me. Although I don't approve of her being with Yuan Yuan, I won't be as despicable as you."

Yuan Honghao's anger flared up again, as if he had returned to the days of quarreling every day more than ten years ago.

"Since you don't agree, then don't make trouble! If you have an opinion on me, we can solve it alone. You can mention any compensation conditions you want."

"After so many years, you still haven't changed. You always look at problems from your own perspective, and you always feel that you are right, and you also feel that you are for the other party's good."

The other party did not intend to entangle with Yuan Honghao on this issue. In short, she did not allow Yuan Honghao to use capital and despicable means to suppress Ye Qing, let alone his intention to forcibly separate them.

Forced to do so, Yuan Honghao had no choice but to confess his previous relationship with Ye Qing.Afterwards, he no longer dared to look into the other person's eyes, and he himself became more and more quiet.

"Childish! How old are you, and you still want to deal with your mother in this way. Yuan Honghao, how long will it take you to really grow up?"

"Is your focus wrong? I want you to see Ye Qing's mind clearly and know what kind of woman she is!"

"What kind of person Ye Qing is, I know no less than you. Whether she and Yuan Yuan can be together depends on whether she can pass my test. If she passes, then I will support them unconditionally. As for you, I don't judge."

Yuan Honghao was out of breath, pointing at her for a long time speechless.

Seeing that the purpose of the conversation had been achieved, the other party did not want to stay for a long time, as if being in the same room with Yuan Honghao would make her feel uncomfortable.

Yuan Honghao leaned on the sofa, covered his chest with his hands, and did not get up to see him off.

Hearing the sound of the door being opened, he suddenly said, "I have always heard that you are in Africa. I have been to Africa countless times over the years but have not found you."

Unexpectedly, we met suddenly today.Yuan Honghao laughed at himself, this kind of surprise was a bit unbearable for him.

The other party didn't respond, and gently closed the door.

**

Yuan Yuan didn't know what happened in California, and she lived a very fulfilling and busy life during this time.In addition to coping with schoolwork, I also have to find a house, and then I have to buy vegetables and cook.

In addition to studying, other things should be shared by two people.But Ye Qing often stays up late into the night to catch up on manuscripts, and sometimes even stays up all night.Seeing that Ye Qingqiang waited until the morning to make breakfast for herself before going to catch up on sleep, Yuan Yuan was not willing to let her do these trivial things.

Yuan Yuan found several elementary recipes from the Internet, similar to the kind of home-cooked ingredients, washed and chopped, put into a pot and stir-fried to become a dish.But even with such a simple operation, she was still in a hurry at first.

For example, for many dishes, she recognizes them on a plate, but not on a supermarket shelf.Some of them didn't even match their names and appearances, so Yuan Yuan had to use his mobile phone to search for pictures and buy them while looking at them.

Stumbled, first solved the problem of buying the right ingredients mentioned in the recipe.Then she found that some ingredients are very particular about the selection, such as color, such as moisture, such as timely processing after returning.These questions made Yuan Yuan delve into them for several days. Sometimes standing by the sink to wash vegetables, Yuan Yuan could not help but sigh: She used to think she could cook, but now she realizes that her aunt does the cooking process for her.

Ye Qing is thinking about the color matching of the new clothing, which has troubled her for three days.After Yuan Yuan got home, she went to work in the kitchen, and only came to the room and kissed her hastily when she first got home.

There was something constantly vibrating at the corner of the table, and Ye Qing raised her eyes only to realize that it was Yuan Yuan who had put down the phone casually.

Although they have no secrets and are close enough to each other, Ye Qing doesn't like to pry into each other's privacy.She respects Yuan Yuan and trusts Yuan Yuan, so she never checks Yuan Yuan's mobile phone without authorization.

She picked up her mobile phone and walked to the kitchen, leaning against the door and said with a smile, "Your phone."

Yuan Yuan is washing the asparagus and is going to make scrambled eggs with asparagus tonight.She turned her face and said disapprovingly, "Whose is it?"

A string of unfamiliar numbers, not acquaintances.

"You can pick it up for me, it shouldn't be asking me about my homework."

Ye Qing picked up the phone according to his words, the person on the other end spoke quickly, with a little Spanish accent.

After chatting for two or three sentences, Ye Qing finally figured out that the other party asked if there was any furniture for sale.Ye Qing didn't know anything about it, but still asked Yuan Yuan, unexpectedly Yuan Yuan nodded, then quickly washed his hands, and picked up the phone.
