Fog clears from Hong Kong Island

Chapter 40 Ji Mingzhu’s Fiancé

The company has a new CEO. I heard that he used to be the vice president of Xi's branch and has rich management experience.

Xi Jinbai directly delegated power to the board of directors.

The news spread internally and everyone was talking about it.

"Isn't President Xi the founder? Why do we need to change the president?"

"Although Mr. Xi is a bit strict, I'm used to his style of acting, which is vigorous and resolute, with clear rewards and punishments. He never tries to take the cake. He is simply a natural leader. Why should I replace him if he is so good?"

"Aurelia was founded by him. He can't let it go. Maybe there is something going on at home, so he temporarily handed over the company to others to take over."

"I hope so. I also hope that Mr. Xi will come back. He is like the company's anchor. We can't do it without him."

Sang Yu turned a deaf ear, scheduling his work schedule fully so as not to allow himself the chance to think wildly, and also deliberately blocking out the headlines from the outside world.

She didn't want to know when the heir to the Xi family and the first socialite in Hong Kong would get married.

But some news always reached her ears automatically.

In early March, financial news reported: Xi Jinbai, the heir to the Xi family, officially appointed the chief CEO to take over the head office, taking over the position of his father Xi Minghan. That night, Mr. Xi attended a dinner with the daughter of the Ji family in Hong Kong, and good things were about to happen.

Sang Yu had just returned to the design department after dinner at noon when he heard the shocked voices of his colleagues.

"Holy shit! The heir to the Xi family is called Xi Jinbai? Is this true?"

Some people disagreed and said, "It's a coincidence. There are so many people with the same name in the world."

Subconsciously, I think it's impossible. Which chaebol heir needs to start his own business?

"There are photos, the profiles are exactly the same!"

As soon as these words came out, several other colleagues immediately gathered around.

"Let me see, let me see!"

"Is it possible that we have the same name and the same surname but we are in conflict with each other?"

"Really! So Mr. Xi's true identity is the heir to a top wealthy family?"

"No wonder he suddenly resigned as president of Aurelia. It turned out that he was going back to inherit the family business!"

"He really makes me cry to death. He insists on going out to make a living when he can just lie down! He is better than us and works harder than us. He should earn this money!"

"There's something else down here. It's said that he attended the dinner party with Ji Mingzhu, the number one socialite in Hong Kong. Good things are about to happen."

"This photo makes us hold hands! The handsome man and the beautiful woman are a match made in heaven!"

"Oh my god, there are so many rich people in the world, why is there one more of me?"

Meng Qing heard their discussion and quickly took out her mobile phone to search for this news, sighing: "I didn't expect that our President Xi is the heir to a top wealthy family! He is also Ji Mingzhu's fiancé..."

Sang Yu held the coffee in his hand with a calm expression.

Meng Qing asked strangely: "Hey, Sangsang, why aren't you surprised at all?"

"It's none of my business anyway." Sang Yu took a sip of his coffee. Even though he added milk and sugar, it still felt bitter to his heart.

Meng Qing nodded, "That's right. It's too far away from us. Just treat it as gossip."

Sang Yu returned to the office and received a call from his best friend.

"Yu Yu, are you okay?" Tong Tong asked cautiously.

Sang Yu said calmly: "It's good. We made it clear that night, and I also expected this day."

"It will get better and better in the future." Tong Tong comforted her, and then changed the subject, "Yu Yu, let me tell you good news. I resigned! I will return to Hong Kong Island tomorrow! Whoever likes to do this job can do it. The salary is low and I’m always finding faults. I’m paid 4,000 yuan and there’s no way I can do anything worth 10,000 yuan!”

Sang Yu asked: "When will you arrive? I'll pick you up at the airport."

"No, no, you still have to go to work, don't you? It's not like I'm not familiar with Hong Kong Island. After all, I've lived there for more than ten years."

Tong Tong strongly refused, so Sang Yu had no choice but to give up. "Then we can find time to make an appointment when you come back."

"Row!"
-
Sang Yu didn't want that house. Xi Jinbai had already given her a lot of help, and she really couldn't afford the house.

Besides, there are all the memories between them there. Now that they have decided to let it go, why bother themselves anymore.

When she got home from get off work, Sang Fengping had already prepared a meal waiting for her.

Sang Yu changed into slippers at the door and went into the house, "Mom, what delicious food did you make again? I smelled it right at the door, it smells so good."

"I stewed some pigeon soup and you can replenish it. Are you too tired from work recently? Your face doesn't look good." Sang Fengping went into the kitchen to get bowls and chopsticks.

Sang Yu hung his bag on the coat rack at the door, "I'm really tired from being busy with work and design competitions."

Sang Fengping looked worried, "Pay attention to rest and don't tire yourself out. Nothing is as important as good health."

Sang Yu nodded, "I know, it should be fine after this period of time."

Sang Fengping moved her lips, but hesitated to speak. How could she not understand her daughter? Sang Yu was obviously unhappy these days, and he had to force a smile in front of her.

"Yu Yu, if you have anything unhappy, you can tell mom."

Sang Yu went to the kitchen to wash his hands and returned to the living room to sit down and eat. "No, I'm very happy. Tong Tong called me today and told me that he was going back to Hong Kong Island tomorrow and will stay here from now on."

"She resigned?"

"Well, she plans to make her own short video account."

"That's pretty good. I haven't seen that girl for a long time. If you have time, ask her to come to my house for a meal."

"it is good."

On Sunday, Sang Yu had a rest and made an appointment with Tong Tong to go out to play.

Went out early in the morning.

Make an appointment to meet at a breakfast shop near their high school.

The area here has not changed much, and there are still shadows of the past.

The straight asphalt road at the school gate is now smoother, and many new shops have been opened on both sides.

The school was already in session at this time, Xu was reading in the morning, and the sound of reading came from the wall.

The breath of youth comes to my face.

Tong Tong took a deep breath, "I haven't been here for a long time, but I still feel familiar and friendly."

Sang Yu looked at the familiar teaching building and sighed: "I didn't expect that high school life has been five years away from us."

Tong Tong said with emotion: "Sometimes it feels like time passes very quickly, and sometimes it feels like it's very slow."

They walked into an old-fashioned breakfast shop and ordered two portions of spicy rice rolls.

The landlady recognized her at a glance, "Hey, you two little girls, haven't you been here for a long time?"

Tong Tong was surprised, "Madam boss, do you still remember us?"

The landlady was as amiable as ever, "Then how could you not remember that you two often come to my place for breakfast, and you always order spicy rice rolls every time you come back."

Sang Yu smiled and said, "My memory is really good."

The lady boss said while beating eggs: "I remember there is a young man who often joins you."

Tong Tong answered: "Well, we didn't have any contact after graduation."

The landlady smiled helplessly, "That's true. After graduation, it's hard to even meet people who live in different places."

Tong Tong asked Sang Yu in a low voice: "Did Xu Linzhou contact you later?"
