person oxidized by love

The engagement ring was prepared by Zhou Keyun and asked Assistant Chen to hand it over.

Chen Ran is a capable and steady Beta. A week ago, he went to ZJ Bank where Ji Xing returned to work and gave him the ring.

Ji Xinghui also made an appointment with a client, and after getting the delicate little box from Chen Ran, he threw it in a drawer in the office.

Chen Ran shouldn't talk too much, but he really cared: "Mr. Ji, don't you open it and take a look?"

Ji Xinghui smiled and asked him, "Assistant Chen, did you buy the ring?"

Chen Ran was stunned for a moment: "No, Mr. Zhou prepared it."

"Oh, let someone else buy it." Ji Xinghui smiled indifferently, and looked at Chen Ran with an innocent expression, "You don't have to wear it now, do you?"

Chen Ran only received an order to come to the bank to hand over the ring in person, but he didn't know the true origin of the ring, so he said honestly, "You can directly ask Mr. Zhou about this."

Ji Xinghui packed up his things, and he didn't seem to hear Chen Ran's proposal. He said, "I'm just about to go out, Assistant Chen, I'll see you off."

Later, Ji Xinghui forgot about the ring. It was not until Zhou Keyun asked about him because of a class reunion that he remembered the beautiful red velvet ring box.

"I don't think it's necessary to wear it." Ji Xinghui felt his fingers were cold.

He folded his fingers together and added: "I have to explain it after wearing it, which is very troublesome."

"You don't want your old classmates to know that I have this kind of relationship with you?" Zhou Keyun opened his eyes and turned his head to look at Ji Xinghui.

There was a small pit on Ji Xinghui's earlobe, which was formed after the ear hole grew. It was a little gray, and Zhou Keyun once thought it was a mole that was too light in color.

"It's hard to explain. One thing more is worse than one thing less." Ji Xinghui's expression became sincere, as if he was really thinking about each other.

"They will always know. My marriage will be on the news." Zhou Keyun said plainly, "And you are my marriage partner."

Ji Xinghui hated Zhou Keyun's calm tone and expression, so he deliberately choked him: "Mr. Zhou, I think it will be easy to keep my name from appearing in the press release with your means and strength. If you call me Mr. Ji, I think it's better to still be Mrs. Zhou."

Mr. Ji refers specifically, and Mrs. Zhou refers generally.

Ji Xing recalled that since Zhou Keyun's goal was to find someone to marry, what did it matter if he wore a ring or not?

Zhou Keyun didn't answer him, but just said to the driver: "Drive."

"Where are you going?" Ji Xing asked back.

"Go back to the hotel, I'm free tomorrow, you can do whatever you want."

Zhou Keyun avoided that question, and Ji Xinghui didn't know if he didn't care, or if there was nothing to discuss.

Ji Xing pursed his lips: "I booked the hotel myself."

"I know, I will send someone to pick up your luggage in a while." Zhou Keyun said.

The matter seemed out of the question.

Ji Xinghui sighed, turned his head to look out the window, the streetscape of Xinggang looked old, probably because the city was always raining, the walls were washed away day after day, and the original color was forgotten.

Ji Xinghui lived in Xinggang for 18 years, until he graduated from high school and was admitted to Xiting University, and then stayed in Xiting City to work.

He thought that after grandma passed away, he would not return to Xinggang again.

"I want to see grandma tomorrow." Ji Xinghui closed his eyes, the neon lights outside seemed to be able to penetrate his eyelids, and the colored spots were printed on his head, making him feel a little dizzy.

"Okay, I'll accompany you." Zhou Keyun said modestly and politely.

Ji Xing recalled that Zhou Keyun would definitely be able to file a case with him.

Half a month ago, Ji Xing came back from get off work and ran into Chen Ran in the reception room.

Zhou Keyun is the CEO of Xiting Xingyang Co., Ltd. Xingyang is a company under the Zhou Group. When it was handed over to Zhou Keyun, it was a complete mess.

At the beginning, Xing Yang was a clothing OEM. With the development of the times, the manufacturing industry declined, and the management did not do anything, leaving an empty shell to barely maintain.

Zhou's headquarters is in Xuanshi, when Zhou Keyun stayed in Xiting City to take over Xingyang, many people said that he was an unfavored child worthy of a company that didn't make money, just like a courtier who was relegated in ancient times.

However, Zhou Keyun took a drastic move and spent three years to complete the high-level change and the launch of an independent brand, and completed the company's listing at the beginning of last year.

Xingyang and the bank where Ji Xinghui works have cooperated many times. Before Ji Xinghui was in charge of the counter of the company, he was responsible for several times. At that time, Zhou Keyun's foundation was not stable, and many things were done by himself, which is why he met Chen Ran. up.

"Assistant Chen, are you here to do something?" Ji Xinghui asked enthusiastically.

"I'm here to find you." Chen Ran said politely.

Ji Xinghui was a little strange: "Then why didn't you call me?"

"It's not business." Chen Ran said, "Do you have time now? Mr. Zhou wants to meet with you."

Ji Xing pursed his lips. Although he didn't really want to go to the appointment, he couldn't afford to offend a high-net-worth client like Zhou Keyun, so he smiled and said, "If you're free, arrange it as you please."

Chen Ran picked up the paper bag at hand and handed it to Ji Xinghui: "This is a gift prepared by Mr. Zhou for you. If possible, he hopes you can change it."

Ji Xinghui knows this brand logo, and he has many customers who like this brand.

Ji Xing looked back at the suit in his bag, and smiled: "Of course, Assistant Chen, please wait for me."

Ji Xinghui took off his short sleeves, and put on this expensive shirt and suit, both of which were just the right size.

When he was fully dressed, looking at the mirror and scratching his hair, Ji Xinghui felt that he was a sparrow suddenly wrapped in colorful feathers, and there was an indescribable sense of disobedience.

"I've been waiting for a long time." Ji Xinghui walked out, looking a little cramped, he thought it's a good thing he got off work late today, otherwise it would be even more embarrassing to meet his colleagues.

Chen Ran looked at him: "It really suits you."

Ji Xing replied with a smirk: "People depend on clothes."

Chen Ran drove, and the destination was a high-end restaurant in a small historic western-style building.

"Boss Zhou is waiting for you." After Chen Ran handed Ji Xing back to the waiter, he did not accompany him again.

Ji Xinghui felt tightness in his chest, and he had an intuition that something was about to happen.

The private room is very large, with furniture in the style of the Republic of China, and a round mahogany table under a large crystal chandelier. Zhou Keyun is sitting there, wearing a beautiful white suit and a black collar flower. It looks like he is shooting a magazine pictorial.

When Ji Xinghui walked over, he was thinking that capitalism is too extravagant and wasteful. Just a table in such a big room is really worthy of the price of land in the center of Xiting.

"Mr. Zhou, good evening." Ji Xing replied.

Zhou Keyun raised his eyes from the tablet in his hand, and smiled at him warmly: "Don't be so polite, it's not about business."

"It's not my turn to talk to you about business." Ji Xinghui smiled cynically, and with his luxurious attire today, he looked like a playboy.

Zhou Keyun handed the tablet to the waiter: "Now serve the food."

In this kind of restaurant, there will be a detailed introduction every time a dish is served. It takes such a long time to eat a meal. Ji Xinghui began to miss the instant noodles and luncheon meat at home. It only takes 3 minutes to have a full meal .

Zhou Keyun looked at him: "Isn't it to your liking?"

Ji Xinghui was thinking about whether to take one bite or two to solve the small truffle shrimp on the big plate in front of him.

"No." Ji Xing smirked back, thinking to himself, I'm just a boar who can't eat fine chaff.

At the end of the introduction of the fourth dish, Zhou Keyun still didn't mention the purpose of looking for him tonight. Ji Xing coughed and couldn't help asking: "Mr. Zhou, you called me here, didn't you just eat?"

Zhou Keyun took a sip of red wine, crossed his hands, and looked him straight in the eyes: "Have you considered getting married?"

If this mouthful of foie gras wasn't very expensive, Ji Xinghui would have spit it out on the spot.

He slowed down for a while, adjusted his expression before answering: "I don't have a partner, why think about this?"

"That's right, think about it and marry me." Zhou Keyun said flatly.

Ji Xinghui wiped his mouth, suspecting that he heard it wrong, or Zhou Keyun's brain is broken.

"Today is not April Fool's Day." Ji Xinghui said with difficulty.

"You work in a bank, so you must be familiar with family trusts." Zhou Keyun said.

Ji Xing frowned.

"My grandfather prepared a trust fund for me. I was admitted to Xiting University to study business administration. It was the first time I met the conditions set by him and gave me 200 million US dollars." Zhou Keyun explained, "His He has a strong desire for control, and for the children of the family to walk the right path, he tailors the life path for everyone, that is to say, follow his requirements, and you can get a sum of money every once in a while."

"So you want to meet the conditions he wants you to marry now?" Ji Xinghui really understands, after all, a large part of sharing the music with the second generation ancestor is relying on the annual trust fund.

"Yes, get married before the age of 28." Zhou Keyun nodded.

"Mr. Zhou, you are not short of money right now." Ji Xing looked back at him. Xingyang is now a leading company in Xiting City and a major taxpayer.

Zhou Keyun shook his head: "What I got was not cash, but something else."

"Of course, although I don't care who I marry, I don't want to go on a blind date, and I also hate that my future partner has interests in my family." Zhou Keyun said.

Ji Xing played with his fingers under the table, thinking, that's none of my business.

"If you marry me, I can help you solve your debt problems."

Ji Xinghui's fingers collided together, and his expression was a little ugly: "It seems that you have already investigated me."

There are six windows in this room, and waiters are standing by the windows facing the corridor, watching their meals from time to time.

But I don't know when it started, and there was no one outside.

It should be Zhou Keyun who sent him away. If this kind of thing is sold to a magazine, it should make a lot of money.Ji Xing thought blankly.

"I didn't mean to threaten you."

Zhou Keyun's external image has always been gentle and refined, which is different from the taciturn boy in Ji Xinghui's impression.

"At that time, I spent a lot of money to treat grandma's illness." Ji Xinghui said suddenly, and began to narrate some things that did not need to be explained.

"I have no blood relationship with my grandma, but without her, I would have starved to death. At that time, I had no choice but to sell the house in Xinggang, but the elderly are obsessed with home. Grandma said that the house cannot If you want to sell it, leave it to me, if it really doesn’t work, then don’t treat it.”

"Later, grandma was taken away by illness. She actually had a son who was useless. She never showed up when she was sick. After grandma died, he came over and said that the house was an inheritance, so of course it belonged to him. I didn't have time to argue with him. For these things, I left Xinggang after placing grandma's ashes in the columbarium." Ji Xing smiled back, the corners of his eyes were a little red.

"Mr. Zhou, I don't need you to help me repay my debts, can I change the terms?"

Zhou Keyun's eyes were very focused, and he looked a little gentle under the light.

"Okay, you can say it."

Ji Xing turned his face to look out the window, the night view of the West Court was bustling and dreamy, different from Xinggang.

In Ji Xing's memory, the night at Xinggang was warm and belonged to the old days.He went out to work at night to earn tuition fees, and grandma would always wait for him at the alley. Grandma said that the lights in the alley were always broken, and she knew Xiaoxing would be afraid.

There is a grandpa who sells wontons in the alley. He opens the stall at [-] o'clock in the evening and sells it until [-] o'clock in the morning.A golden lamp hung on the wooden cart selling wontons.

When they are hungry, the grandparents and grandchildren will buy a bowl of small wontons to take home to eat, and grandma will clean the disposable bowls containing wontons and plant green onions and garlic.

Ji Xing's eyes hurt a little, he didn't dare to recall anymore.

"Mr. Zhou, I want to get that house back, and what's more, I want my grandma to be buried in peace."

Zhou Keyun lowered his eyes halfway, and asked him, "That's all? Don't you fight for something for yourself?"

Ji Xing smiled back, his complexion was not very good-looking, he shook his head and said softly.

"I don't want anything."
