Rebirth of the entertainment industry and the return of the queen

Chapter 987 Blind Date
He didn't come to the Emperor to be a babysitter for this girl.

But since this is the task assigned by the boss, he dare not neglect it in the slightest.

The next day, when he entered the company for a high-level meeting, Pei Ziheng, who was in the chair, asked, "What's the matter with the injury on your nose?" Although he had already torn off the band-aid, the boss still saw the injury at a glance.

Chu Chen didn't dare to hide it from him: "Xiao Ling lost her temper and smashed it."

Several other executives present here have different expressions, some are surprised, some explore, and some gloat.There are not a few people in the company who know that he works for Xia Ling, and many people are jealous of him getting this fat job, because, as long as Xia Ling is well served, Xia Ling will say a few nice words in front of Pei Ziheng, what is the glory and wealth?However, there are also many people who look down on him. It is too disgraceful for a big man to rise to the top by such means.

On the other hand, Pei Ziheng gave a soft "hmm".

As if she didn't see the various eyes of the executives, she comforted Chu Chen: "She has such a temper, you should take it easy. This girl bit my hand when she got angry, and almost went to the hospital for stitches."

Chu Chen knew that the boss was giving him a step down.

That pampered girl even dared to bite the boss, what happened to hitting him?It's just giving him face!

Those colleagues who looked down on him withdrew their eyes, and Chu Chen smiled at the boss nonchalantly: "I understand that Xiaoling doesn't mean anything malicious, and her straightforward personality is actually very easy to get along with, so you don't have to worry."

The colleagues around him wanted to give him a thumbs up, oh my god, this is the real warrior!Chu Chen is the only one in the world who dares to say that Xia Ling's pampered young lady is easy to get along with!Which point of her, oh no, which strand of hair is easy to get along with!This flattery is too fake, right? !
All the executives were looking forward to it, knowing that Boss Pei usually dislikes flattery from his subordinates, so he will definitely dislike Chu Chen now.Unexpectedly, Pei Ziheng's expression became more gentle, and he nodded in agreement: "She's fine."

Everyone: "..."

What else can they say?What else can I say? !

Stop talking, continue to envy, envy and hate Chu Chen's "good job", go and cry.

Not long after this incident, Chu Chen received a generous consolation money from Pei Ziheng, as well as expanded authority.He understood that this was Pei Ziheng's compensation for the grievance he suffered by Xia Ling's side.

Xia Ling always thought that he was her friend, but he always remembered who he was working for.

That's why, when she was imprisoned and tried hard to escape from that huge villa, he would quietly intercept her and return her to Pei Ziheng.

He could see the despair in her eyes, and disbelief was written on her alluring face. At that moment, her heartbreak and injury were so deep that his heart, which had been silent for a long time, also inexplicably throbbed.But it's just a moment.He never regrets what he has done. It is his series of seemingly ruthless decisions that support him to this day and win so much power and fame.He is not a woman, does not have such a good skin as her, and cannot use the most primitive weapons to obtain anything from men. All he has is his own survival wisdom.

That wisdom told him that giving up Xia Ling and supporting Pei Ziheng was the wisest choice.

"Some people just can't see that they are just a plaything. What do you mean by love? Friendship? It's ridiculous." At night, Chu Chen returned to his luxury apartment, opened a bottle of red wine, and muttered to himself.

There was a breeze at night, and his mother pushed a wheelchair to the balcony to see him: "Achen, are you unhappy?"

He was slightly startled: "Why? I am very happy today." Yes, I am very happy, I finally got rid of the life of being Xia Ling's nanny, and no one will boss him around from now on—in this world, even Pei Ziheng is right He also speaks gently and kindly, making people feel like a spring breeze, and his words are full of respect.

As long as Xia Ling is gone, everything will be fine.

His mother looked at him worriedly: "But, you look a little sad."

With a few perfunctory words with a smile, he sent away his worried mother.How could he be sad?Xia Ling is such an innocent and simple person, how can he deserve his sorrow?In this world, what is the use of good skills?Those who are not sophisticated enough, not cunning enough, have only a dead end.

...Like, his father back then.

Chu Chen put down his wine glass, suddenly he was not in the mood to continue drinking.

His family tried to arrange a blind date for him, and now he is quite old, and he has never even had a relationship. He always excused himself with the excuse that he was too busy with work, but when he was in his thirties, it became more and more difficult to shirk.

The mother entrusted someone and took a lot of girls' information to him: "Let's see which one you like, those matchmakers, when they heard that they were introducing you to someone, they were positive. They said that you are so promising, and the girls are sure to like you. Ah Chen, don't be too picky. Our family is not a rich and powerful family like Dong Pei, and we don't expect to marry a famous lady. As long as you marry someone who knows how to live and knows the cold and warm, mom will be satisfied .”

Chu Chen smiled at his mother.

Witnessing the so-called "love" between Xia Ling and Pei Ziheng for more than ten years, he deeply felt how illusory and fragile it was.Even two people like that can't last long, so what else can he expect?He took the photos from his mother, looked at them one by one, and suddenly saw a girl in a plain dress, vaguely familiar.

"This is……"

"Your uncle's daughter, Chu Yingying," said Chu Chen's mother, "this girl is also pitiful. She had an accident when she was ten years old and needed a blood transfusion. It was found out that she was not your uncle's own. Your uncle was furious." I divorced your aunt, and your aunt remarried. She is now called Li Yingying. She is 29, and she is not married yet. The family is in a hurry, and they have been on blind dates. The matchmaker said that this girl has a good temper, so let me introduce her to you. .”

There is no blood relationship, and it is not a family anymore. There is nothing wrong with this approach.

Looking at the photo, Chu Chen recalled the scene when he went to his uncle’s house to borrow money when he was 12 years old. The little girl in pink dress looked like a princess in a fairy tale under the crystal lamp, playing with her pet dog while handing over the leftover meat and bones to He, [Little brother is so pitiful, let me eat this bone. ]
Everything is vivid.

To this day, it is like a thorn in the bottom of his heart.

He invited Li Yingying to a high-end coffee shop, the box was quiet and the music was soft.

He arrived first, and through the one-way glass, he saw a girl coming in from the door, wearing the kind of dress that low-end shopping malls often sell at a discounted price during the discount season, with an unbranded bag slung across her shoulders, and followed the well-dressed service a little awkwardly. Guided by the doctor, he came to the box where he was.
