mutual benefit [gl]

After Chen Yuanzhen left, Ji Cixi looked around and paced around Chen Yuanzhen's huge apartment.

This apartment was both familiar and strange to her.

She has been here more than once, but has never seen it in its entirety.

Just like her relationship with Chen Yuanzhen.

She knew that Chen Yuanzhen had shown her heart more than once, and invited her into her life more than once.

But she always only looked down at the hand that Chen Yuanzhen stretched out, and refused to give any response.

Ji Cixi has lived for more than twenty years, but she is still unable to evaluate her own character.But her parents said she was indifferent, her sister and son Ji Xu said she was independent and didn't like being troubled by anyone.

Even Ji Xu, until now when he saw her, there was still a trace of unnaturalness in his eyes, as if he was afraid that any of his actions would upset her.

Only Chen Yuanzhen would reach out to her so abruptly when he saw her for the first time, and grab her arm to make her stop her fast pace.

At first Ji Cixi did find it troublesome, but later on, she became more and more dependent on this feeling.

This feeling of being needed.

She walked through the corridors of Chen Yuanzhen's house, touching every door she passed with her fingertips.

At the end of the corridor, Ji Cixi stopped.

She looked up at the door in front of her, and she knew that this was Chen Yuanzhen's room.

Every door in Chen Yuanzhen's house has an electronic combination lock. Ji Cixi doesn't know the combination. It's not that Chen Yuanzhen refuses to tell her, but she never asked.

Ji Cixi stretched out her hand, hesitated for a moment, and placed it on the cold doorknob.

She knew that she should not be able to open the door, but for some reason, she still turned the handle with an attitude of trying.

Surprisingly, the heavy door was easily opened without using force or guessing any password.

Ji Cixi looked at the scene in front of him in astonishment, the open door revealed the interior of Chen Yuanzhen's room, Ji Cixi glanced sideways at the door again.

It seemed that Chen Yuanzhen didn't close the door when he walked out of the room.

This was an accident for Chen Yuanzhen, and it was also an accident for Ji Cixi.

She never thought that she would visit Chen Yuanzhen's room in this way.

At that moment, Ji Cixi's heart was beating like a drum, she turned around in a little panic and was about to leave, but her chaotic footsteps stopped abruptly after only a few steps.

The thin back trembled slightly, as if hesitating, and finally, she turned around.

She walked slowly back to Chen Yuanzhen's room.

This time, Ji Cixi didn't hesitate any longer, and stepped in calmly.

She has always been like this, and things that have been decided will no longer be timid and hesitant.

Chen Yuanzhen's room was not as spacious as Ji Cixi imagined, and the decoration was very simple.The room is generally dark in tone, and even if the curtains are pulled open to let the sunlight sway in, it cannot eliminate the darkness that permeates the room.

There are not many furnishings in the room, a huge desk with two huge monitors on it, and a closed laptop on the monitor.Next to the computer was a pile of documents. Ji Cixi approached and opened a few of them casually to glance at them. The documents were densely packed with English and numbers. Almost every page was marked by Chen Yuanzhen. Although the handwriting was scribbled, it was clearly It was hard work.

Not far from the desk was a bed. The gray quilt had been pulled up at one corner, revealing the not-so-flat sheets. It was obvious that the owner just stroked it a few times before leaving in a hurry after getting up.

Looking up again, Ji Cixi found the glass door of one of the two bookcases opposite the bed was still open.

Ji Cixi frowned slightly, and stepped forward to close the door of the bookcase.

These two bookcases are probably the largest pieces of furniture in Chen Yuanzhen's room. There are various books crowdedly arranged on the shelves, most of which are books related to finance and economics. Occasionally, you can see a few books of Nietzsche, Plato, etc. man's writings.

Chen Yuanzhen's room is beyond Ji Cixi's imagination. People say that a person's room will more or less project a person's heart.

Although Ji Cixi knew that Chen Yuanzhen was far superior to her appearance, she never thought that Chen Yuanzhen's heart was so cold and serious, even depressed.

This is a room that cannot be touched by sunlight, and Chen Yuanzhen is a woman that cannot be warmed by sunlight.

Ji Cixi pursed her lips slightly, she walked to the window, pulled open the gray curtain covering the window, and let the faint sunlight into the room.

The fine dust was lifted up, shining in the sun.

Standing in front of the window, Ji Cixi finally felt a little more at ease.

"Looks like my door wasn't locked properly."

Chen Yuanzhen's smiling voice suddenly sounded behind Ji Cixi, Ji Cixi looked sideways, but did not turn around, and then she looked back out the window, without speaking.

"During the decoration and layout, Zhou Ming once suggested that I use the room opposite as a room. Because that room is facing the sun, it is also more spacious than this one."

Chen Yuanzhen walked into the room, she stopped in the middle of the room, and talked to Ji Cixi who had her back turned to her.

"But I refused."

Chen Yuanzhen's words stopped here, she didn't say any more, and Ji Cixi didn't ask.

She knew why Chen Yuanzhen chose this place as the room, so she didn't ask, and she also knew that Chen Yuanzhen probably didn't want to say it.

"Usually, I will lock this place, but I didn't expect that I would be negligent today, and I also didn't expect you to come today."

Chen Yuanzhen smiled.

"Until now, Teacher Ji, do you know how much you have brought me that I never expected?"

"But I think you're enjoying it?" Ji Cixi turned around, "So is it important how many unknowns there are?"

Ji Cixi also laughed.

The two looked at each other and smiled. After a long while, Chen Yuanzhen raised the bag in his hand and said, "I've bought back everything you want. Isn't it time to practice it?"

Apparently Ji Cixi was still more used to her poker face. In an instant, the faint smile on her face disappeared completely. She walked to Chen Yuanzhen and took the shopping bag with one hand, put the other hand into the pocket of her trousers, and left Chen Yuanzhen alone room, eventually disappearing into the corridor.

Chen Yuanzhen looked at her back and smiled helplessly.She rubbed her soft hair with her hands, locked the door, and left.

Before leaving, Chen Yuanzhen stood at the door and looked at her room again. She found that the door of the bookcase was closed by Ji Cixi, her pupils shrank slightly, then she lowered her eyes and blinked vigorously, and finally slammed the door firmly.

When Chen Yuanzhen returned to the living room, she could already smell the faint smell of fried eggs.

She walked to the door of the kitchen, leaned on the door frame and watched Ji Cixi busy in the kitchen.

Ji Cixi is not good at cooking, she can only cook the simplest dishes, but even so, just looking at her like this, Chen Yuanzhen feels extremely at ease.

Especially in today's situation.

Chen Yuanzhen knew that the reason why Ji Cixi came here must be related to the early morning news.But when he really came here, Ji Cixi didn't mention that matter at all, and didn't even ask a question.

Recalling that when he first met Ji Cixi, he still felt that this woman's way of dealing with people was strange, Chen Yuanzhen only felt that he was ridiculously stupid.

Ji Cixi obviously has a very high emotional intelligence, but the reason why she often puts on a cold face is probably because she is too lazy to interact with others.

If it was someone else, they would probably feel that she would suffer in the future and be put on small shoes by her colleagues and leaders.

But Chen Yuanzhen doesn't think so, she really likes Ji Cixi's character now,

As for the others, Chen Yuanzhen didn't care.

After all, with her here, who would dare to wear small shoes for her Teacher Ji?

"If you don't help, don't stand there and block your eyes."

Ji Cixi coldly interrupted Chen Yuanzhen's thoughts of running away, Chen Yuanzhen curled his lips and said, "Yes yes yes, I won't disturb you."

After finishing speaking, Chen Yuanzhen turned around and went back to the sofa in the living room to sit down.

Although Ji Cixi didn't mention it, Chen Yuanzhen couldn't paralyze himself. Chen Zhishan's operation this time really set her off. What he did not only disregarded himself, but also didn't have any scruples about the feelings of his eldest son Chen Yuanyang.

Now that Chen Yuanyang was sent to a corner, he was already in a state of desperation, but Chen Zhishan wanted him to have a leaky room and it was raining all night.

Thinking of this, Chen Yuanzhen felt a little sorry for Chen Yuanyang.

However, this kind of sympathy is only for a moment, and now she has to think about how to bring down her second brother Chen Yuanshuo. Only by breaking down this unstable factor can she concentrate on dealing with her unfathomable father.

It's just that, unlike the elder brother Chen Yuanyang, the second elder brother Chen Yuanshuo is much smarter than the elder brother. Coupled with the help of Cui Jinxian, Chen Yuanzhen knows that his next road will only be more difficult.

What's more, Ji Cixi is still in the hands of that strange Gao Xiu.

What Gao Xiu said to her before was still vivid in my ears, and it was those words that made Chen Yuanzhen completely ignorant of Gao Xiu's position and what he wanted to do.

Now Gao Xiu is undoubtedly the hottest person in the Chen Group, and everyone will probably wonder what kind of magic power Gao Xiu has to be favored by Chen Zhishan, who is extremely strict with his own son.

And what does the string of birthday numbers on Gao Xiu's nameplate represent?

The author has something to say: Why do everyone think Gao Xiu is an illegitimate child? ? ?

In other words, if my future works are all two strong heroines, will everyone be tired of aesthetics?
