between clouds and mud

Chapter 44

The influence of Avenue Group in the new media industry cannot be underestimated.

Their vice president, the prospective prince of the group, is Zhou Song's ex-boyfriend - Chi Ye.

Zhou Song made several phone calls, but a woman's voice was answered, Chi Ye's beautiful secretary.

The crown prince put on a show, unequivocally.

If you want to see him now, make an appointment with the secretary first according to the regulations.

However, Mr. Chi is very busy, this month's schedule is already full, and if you want to make an appointment, you have to wait until next month.

Zhou Song hung up the phone, thinking about going directly to his community to squat. She knew a place, but she had never been there.

She didn't know which building it was, and she waited near the special parking space for Chi Yi based on her vague memory.

There are many places for Chi Ye to live, and she waits on the sidelines with the mentality of trying her luck.It was getting late, and Zhou Song, who thought his expectations had failed.

Hit and bumped into.

Chi Ye parked the car and looked at her leisurely, not surprised: "Why, delivered to your door?"

Zhou Song blocked his way: "I have something to ask for your help."

Chi Yi said indifferently: "No time."

Zhou Song's expression begged: "Really, please."

"Step aside."

Zhou Song stood where he was, shaking his head.

Chi Ye's complexion changed, he grabbed her wrist, and his eyes looked her straight from top to bottom.

"Do you know how to negotiate terms with a man?"

"Come up with me, we'll talk slowly."

Zhou Song nodded silently, without refusing, followed his steps into the elevator hall.

The faces of the two were reflected in the silver mirror of the elevator, both of them were calm, they glanced at her inadvertently from the corner of their eyes, and there was no wave in their deep eyes.

The furnishings of this house are very new, there are almost no traces of living in it, and it is as clean and cold as the model house.

Chi Ye opened the shoe cabinet and threw it in front of her.It was a pair of unopened women's slippers, the size Zhou Song was wearing just fit her feet.

The two sat on the sofa facing each other, and the atmosphere was a bit unpredictable. Although Zhou Song was prepared in her heart, she pondered for a moment, thinking about how to speak.

Chi Ye knew in his heart: "I'm afraid I don't have that much ability for what you asked me to do."

"Chi Yi, I." Zhou Song had been brewing emotions for a long time, and his voice was choked with sobs: "Linxi Mountain, the development of these years is the hard work of everyone, I can't watch it die like this, can you help me? It is possible to know the influence of your company on new media public opinion."

Zhou Song's character has always been strong, but at this moment she softened her posture, her eyes sparkled, tears fell like beads, and her voice was intermittent.

This is what Zhang Fang taught her, to be soft in front of a man and shed two tears.

This is a woman's armor, but also a sword for killing enemies.

How many times Zhang Fang fought against her mother-in-law, she was tolerant on the surface without any complaints, but she was sure that Zhang Jiaxiang loved her.

The premise of all this is that this man loves you, so naturally he is reluctant.

Chi Ye looked at her in a daze, his attitude was not as tough as before, his heart softened: "Don't cry."

"A girl's tears are like pearls." His fingertips gently wiped away her tears.

At this moment, the line of defense in his heart is almost broken. Both of them know that this is a negotiation. He has been in the market for many years, so how can he easily fight for a bargaining chip.

Zhou Song resisted the entanglement. She took out a new box of condoms from her bag and put it on the coffee table.

The meaning is obvious, what the two of them haven't done in three years together can be done now.

Chi Ye's eyes became dim, and his tone was a bit cold: "What do you mean? You are really selfless."

Facing his undisguised gaze, she was too ashamed to speak.

The atmosphere was undercurrent, and he was angry and annoyed, suppressing the soreness in his heart.Chi Ye stood up, cast a glance at her, and walked into the room first.

Zhou Song was nervous and followed behind him. There was a double bed lying across the bedroom.

Zhang Fang said that this trick is called turning offense into defense.Originally, people might have that kind of meaning for you, but you took the initiative to take it out.Talking about the deal again, the man's self-esteem will definitely not be able to bear it.

Fortunately, he passed by the bed with his galloping pace, and he went straight to the corner of the desk, took the key, knelt down to open the safe, and took out a small square box.

"When I bought this house, I planned to use it as our wedding room."

Chi Yi held a small red velvet gift box in his hand, and gently opened it, revealing a shiny ring, the diamonds on it sparkled against the light.

"Zhou Song, marry me, you can do whatever you want."

Chi Ye's tone was very cold, his attitude was blunt, and he was indifferent without any emotion.

Only the pupils, a moment of invisible tension.He may have looked forward to countless scenes, but now it is a naked transaction, which has nothing to do with love.

Everything is an equivalent exchange.

She has what she wants, and so does he.

Zhou Song nodded, and took the ring silently.

The size fits exactly on the finger, I don't know how long he prepared it.

Since then, the relationship between the two seems to have returned to their previous love.

But everything seems to be different again.

Appearance is in harmony with spirit, four words can describe it.

Chi Ye is very busy with work, and he is no longer clinging to her like before, the relationship between the two is cold and divided.

He still drove her to Wuhan to go to school. The toll booths, highways, street trees, and guardrails were all the same as before, but his mood was different.

Zhou Song observed that there was a woman's lipstick on his car.

Now he doesn't avoid her, he's aboveboard.

Zhou Song suggested: "You are busy with work, I'll take the car by myself in the future."

He didn't refuse, his lips were slightly pursed into a line: "Okay."

For the remaining half of the journey, he was speeding on the fast lane, his speed was very fast, and there were looming veins on his arms.

Chi Ye suppressed his displeasure and remained silent.He exchanged a deal for his beloved, this kind of sober cognition is the most tormented.

The hot searches on the Internet were silently suppressed.

There was no trace of negative news about Linxi Mountain.

Instead, Jiang Lele's previous donation to the school was picked up again, and the comments on the Internet fell with the wind.

The voices of praise in the comment area are endless, and after this battle, the number of her fans has increased by nearly 50.

Assistant Xiao Zheng was holding the lunch box, looking at the number of fans jumping up and down, she was shocked: "Sister, did you secretly buy navy?"

"If you spend that money, why don't you raise your wages?" Jiang Lele also sat beside her with a lunch box in her hand: "Are you eating well now?"

Xiao Zheng nodded: "It's very fragrant."

"But why is this happening?" Xiao Zheng continued to be curious.

Jiang Lele felt like a bright mirror in her heart: "My sisters, let's have a knife in both sides."

Xiao Zheng was confused by what she heard, but she probably understood that there must be a way for this matter to pass so quickly: "It seems that not all friends are like what I thought."

"So you can open up your circle a little bit." Jiang Lele picked up the dishes: "Work hard, and don't fall behind in life."

"Sister, from now on." Xiao Zheng agreed, "Can we change to weekends?"

Jiang Lele glanced at her, and said brazenly, "Xiao Zhou is fine, work is more important than life."

When Zhang Fang gave Zhou Song an idea, Jiang Lele also thought about it together. She was terrified when she heard it, and decided not to offend Zhang Fang in the future.

Zhang Fang is good at applying what she has learned. Mr. Jiang is such a shrewd woman, but she has raised a pure and lovely daughter.

Jiang Lele doesn't need to reach out, she has everything.

And Zhang Fang, if she doesn't know how to calculate, then she won't get anything.

They all thought that Zhang Fang had missed something.

Because this buddy is quite ruthless, as expected of a businessman, he proposed on the spot.

But if there are any leaks, I am afraid that only Zhang Fang knows, any transaction must pay a corresponding bargaining chip.

She felt ashamed of Xiao Liu.I am also ashamed of Zhang Chengnian.

After going around for so many years, the two finally missed it.

"Why are you crying?" Zhang Jiaxiang touched the wet piece of the pillow towel, and he hugged his wife tightly.

"I'm pregnant, so be sentimental." Zhang Fang sniffed, her voice tinged with nasality.

Zhang Jiaxiang gently caressed her flat belly, and began to look forward to: "What do you think, will it be a son or a daughter?"

"Which one do you want?"

"Son."

As soon as he said this, Zhang Fang became unhappy. She pinched him hard, and the touch was all muscle and hard.

Zhang Jiaxiang grabbed her hand: "Our husband has a son and a daughter."

"why?"

"Boss needs to work harder, when the time comes, our daughter will have to suffer a lot."

Zhang Fang smiled through tears, and she snuggled into his arms: "Now that we have family planning, we cannot have a second child."

"Yeah, that's fine, whatever it is."

Zhang Jiaxiang's palm rubbed against her stomach from time to time, his movements were cautious.

Little guy, do you know that mom and dad are looking forward to your arrival.

When Zhou Song got engaged, Zhang Fang was still pregnant.

She took out her dress from the closet and matched it with high heels, no matter how much Zhang Jiaxiang tried to persuade her, she refused to change into flat ones.

The pregnant woman's temper was a little hypocritical, and she started a quarrel, but every time it ended with Zhang Jiaxiang's compromise.

Zhang Jiaxiang just drove Zhou Song's car back to Changsha and escorted his wife there, exhorting and exhorting him a thousand times along the way.

The two lived in the star-rated hotel they received. Zhang Jiaxiang was a little dumbfounded when he saw the high-end decoration. No wonder Old Sixth Uncle and the others refused to come over.

In the bustling banquet hall, the most eye-catching ones are of course a couple.

Under the sparkling crystal lamp, Zhou Song was wearing a red dress with a half-naked back, and the man standing beside her in a tuxedo suit was standing tall.

The red and black of the two complement each other, and they look like wall people that match each other very well.

Somewhat out of place is the expression of the two of them, showing a bit of indifference, seeming to be at odds with each other.

On the surface, the basic etiquette and self-cultivation are maintained, and after careful inspection, there is no trace of happiness.

With champagne in his hand, Chi Ye accompanied his fiancée to toast with the guests.

The guests watching the ceremony congratulated with smiles on their faces, and the words in their mouths praised the couple next door.

In such a big family, business marriages are commonplace, and how many couples are not due to the combination of interests.

Holding a glass of champagne, Zhang Fang walked into the lively crowd.

The smile on her face was like a spring breeze. The little girl who used to be ignorant of the world had long been good at dancing in such an occasion.

She stood in front of a woman in a white suit with a humble posture: "Aunt Jiang, long time no see."

Mr. Jiang was surrounded by several women who looked like noble ladies. They exchanged pleasantries for a while before finally saying goodbye.

Mr. Jiang was holding a wine glass, and lightly clinked glasses with her under the radiance of remote lights, and she greeted: "Long time no see, are you busy recently?"

"It's okay, but we expanded the planting before, and now the production of honey pomelo is increasing, and there are more things on the mountain."

"Also increase production, you are very motivated." The atmosphere of the chat between the two was different from the official entertainment just now. At this moment, it was like an elder chatting with a junior.

A stack of peeled honey pomelo was placed on the ceremony table beside her. Zhang Fang picked up a piece of fruit with a disposable fork: "Aunt Jiang, this fruit is provided by us. You can taste it."

Mr. Jiang took a sip, and the tip of his tongue was full of fragrance: "I remember that the supermarket in Changsha District has your honey pomelo."

Zhang Fang observed her expression: "I talked to my colleagues in the marketing department of the supermarket last year, and now it's on the shelves, and the sales are pretty good."

She continued to explain: "Our honey pomelo has expanded production and can supply the national market. If possible, I hope to have the opportunity to expand the scope of cooperation."

The person in charge of the Jiang Group's national chain of supermarkets and Changsha District is not qualified to make decisions on the national market, which is also one of the purposes of Zhang Fang's trip.

Mr. Jiang nodded and gave her a business card of the manager in charge: "The product is good, if the price can be negotiated, there is a chance."

Zhang Fang took it, and she stroked the gilt words on the business card, thanking her with a smile.

"The tourism in Linxi Mountain is still under development. The last time I visited the village, almost all of them were old people, old and frail. How can we expand the productivity so much at once?" Mr. Jiang asked a question.

"Aunt Jiang, we call on young people to return to their hometowns for employment. So far, we have achieved good results. After the planting industry has developed, there are also crayfish breeding bases that have also been piloted."

Speaking of this, Zhang Fang's expression was a little flying.

"Good job." Mr. Jiang nodded: "This is the beginning of the fight."

"You little girl, I saw it at the beginning." President Jiang took a sip of champagne: "You are a person who does practical things."

"Aunt Jiang, thank you." Zhang Fang said sincerely, with sincere eyes.

Mr. Jiang waved his hand: "He's a nice young man, thanks to yourself."

What Mr. Jiang didn't know was that along the way, Zhang Fang took her as a model and firmly believed in her.Only after meeting Mr. Jiang did I realize that women can also live independently and wonderfully.

Zhou Song was not used to wearing high heels, and her ankles were sore after standing for a long time, so she barely stood beside Chi Yi holding a wine glass.

Probably noticing her fatigue, Chi Yi's palms were invisible on her waist.

Zhou Song's figure was stiff, this skirt was ordered by Chi Ye, the waist at the back was exposed, and what he touched was a piece of soft skin.

His palm caressed her waist inadvertently.

Her body was stiff, Chi Yi whispered in her ear: "Why, can't you bear it?"

She resisted this feeling from the bottom of her heart, but she had to act on the occasion.

Zhou Songzhan smiled: "Probably a little cold."

This reason barely made Chi Ye feel more comfortable, he comforted: "Persist for a while, and I will take you away."

The world outside the hotel has already started to snow heavily.

This is the first snow this year, and it seems a bit romantic at the moment.

The guests turned their heads frequently, admiring the scenery outside the floor-to-ceiling windows

It seems that this is God's blessing to the couple, today is a good day.

But Zhou Song, she doesn't like winter, let alone snow.

There was also a man in a gray coat who came on snow.

He has a clear temperament and extraordinary appearance, and he stands out from the crowd like a chicken.
