Sisterhood, let's go

Chapter 25

Meng Xuchang's office occupies the top floor of the headquarters building of the "Tianwang" Group, an entire floor space, spacious and bright beyond imagination.Lin Ziqiao followed behind him and boarded the top floor with the president's special elevator.Further up is the roof of the building, where Meng's private helicopter is parked.

Fortunately, after years of ups and downs in the business world, Meng Xuchang knows how to guess people's hearts.

In the narrow elevator space, even the handrails were polished so that people could be seen. Lin Ziqiao had experienced many important occasions, but in his place, her palms were still sweaty.The aura of the other party completely overwhelmed her, and she came prepared, and she was not even sure of winning this negotiation.

With a "ding", the elevator stopped on the 54th floor.

"President Meng!" The well-trained female secretary greeted him. Meng Xuchang strode out of the elevator and took the lead into his office.Lin Ziqiao had a face-to-face meeting with his secretary, who greeted her with a friendly smile, "Good afternoon." Yang Weizhou's secretary Xu Dan's professional quality is not bad, but compared with the one in front of her, she is still too far away. To the subsidiaries of the "Tianwang" Group, at least at the level of managers and above.Meng Xuchang stopped in his tracks and ordered: "Miss Zhou, you can make a cup of the coffee I brought back from Brazil for Miss Lin."

This president is really a very serious person. He even politely called his secretary "Miss Zhou".

Afternoon sunlight shines through the floor-to-ceiling windows into the spacious office.Lin Ziqiao sat on the leather sofa, opposite to the coffee table was Meng Xuchang.After the secretary brought the coffee, he backed out and closed the door behind him.The coffee from Brazil has a slight sweetness, which seems mild and ordinary, but it is the best test for the taste buds to distinguish all the soft flavors mixed together.

Lin Ziqiao already felt a bitterness spreading between her lips and teeth.

Is this the inevitable consequence of her choosing a lover who is younger than her and inexperienced?No matter how much wind and rain there is ahead, she can only face it alone.This really cannot be blamed on Meng Qingxi, he has worked very hard, but he is still too young.

"Miss Lin, do you like the smell of coffee?"

Meng Xuchang looked at her calmly. He was not in a hurry to get into the subject, as if to give Lin Ziqiao time to adapt.She put down the coffee cup in her hand and forced a smile, "President Meng's secretary, the skill of making coffee is quite good."

"Miss Zhou will be very happy to accept your compliment."

Lin Ziqiao slightly felt the cold atmosphere, she broke the deadlock and said, "President Meng is busy with affairs, if you have anything to say to me, please speak up, I have been working for many years, no matter what position I take, I can accept it. "It doesn't make any sense to procrastinate. Since she has to face it, let her make a quick decision.

"Miss Lin is a straightforward person."

Meng Xuchang sat upright. He was not the kind of aggressive businessman, but behind his gentle appearance was a calm and firm stand that could not be changed.It is really difficult to fight against such an opponent.Lin Ziqiao clenched her fingertips tightly, and heard him ask: "You have been with Xiaoxi for more than a year, how much do you know about him? Including his family, his past experience?"

With just one question, Lin Ziqiao was already defeated.

She raised her head hastily, "I only found out half a month ago that he is the eldest son of President Meng."

"He didn't tell you all about himself."

Meng Xuchang nodded clearly, "Miss Lin must not know that Xiaoxi has a sister who happened to be the same age as you if she hadn't died in an accident. Qing Rou is five years older than Xiaoxi, because her mother passed away early, and Xiaoxi was almost the same age as you. She took care of them and grew up, and the relationship between their siblings is quite good."

Meng Qingxi never mentioned his sister Meng Qingrou to her.

Even about his mother, she knew from Yang Weizhou that Fang Yunshang almost became his stepmother.

Lin Ziqiao felt that the coffee in her cup was getting cold quickly, she looked at Meng Xuchang, waiting for him to continue speaking.

"Admitting this fact is actually very difficult for me," Meng Xuchang frowned, obviously emotionally troubled. "Xiaoxi's affection for his sister has exceeded that between siblings. Qingrou's death hit him hard. Weizhou was sent to Citigroup to study at the age of 15. When Qingrou passed away, Xiao Xi happens to be 16 years old, but because of this reason, it was delayed until this year before the family decided to let him go to Britain for further studies."

Lin Ziqiao's eyes were filled with heat, and gradually she couldn't see everything around her clearly.

Why is this happening?

Why did things turn out this way?

She never asked Meng Qingxi about his family because she was too sure of him, but Meng Xuchang gave her a big blow.There is no free lunch in this world. There are many women with better conditions than her. She doesn't even have a good temper, but Meng Qingxi has his eyes on her.What for?Just because she feels like his own sister on her body!From the time we met, he has always insisted on calling her "sister", even when he was hugging her (making) love on the bed, he never changed his mind!

On the way here, she considered countless reasons that were used to persuade her to leave Meng Qingxi, but none of them included this one.

Meng Xuchang easily defeated all her defenses.

"It's not a normal relationship."

Meng Xuchang shook his head, his troubled expression had returned to his usual calmness. "Miss Lin, I sincerely hope that you can break up with him. He can't live in Qingrou's shadow all his life, otherwise he will never grow up and there will be a gap in his heart. He will go to Britain soon. For two years, his grandfather and I hoped that he would be able to get rid of it completely and no longer be caught in this abnormal obsession."

The point of view is clear, and every sentence is above the point. This is the aura of the helm of the "Tianwang" group. Even if they are talking about emotional issues, they are equally crisp and neat.One day, Meng Qingxi will grow up to be like him, no longer impulsive, enthusiastic and willful, no matter what he faces, he will only deal with it extremely calmly.

"I understand."

Lin Ziqiao picked up the coffee cup with trembling hands. From the time Meng Xuchang mentioned Meng Qingrou, her mind was gradually hollowed out, and in the end she became like a robot, only passively accepting orders. Meng Xuchang asked her to talk to Meng Qingrou. After breaking up, she obediently obeyed. "Let me finish this cup of coffee, and I'm leaving."

"Miss Lin, I am very sorry to you. I am not a successful father. Qingrou committed suicide. I have already lost a daughter. I am afraid that I will lose Xiaoxi too. So I pamper him very much. If I can restrain Maybe he wouldn't have caused you so much harm."

There was a trace of unbearable in Meng Xuchang's eyes.

He had secretly observed Lin Ziqiao for a long time when he was in contact with her. She was definitely not a person who would shrink back easily, but he shattered her position with just a few words. This sudden revelation of the truth hurt her very deeply. .

"is it?"

Lin Ziqiao's smile was as ugly as crying.

What's the use of being sorry?Can it bring her back to the time when she didn't know Meng Qingxi at all?She left Meng Xuchang's office and got off the elevator. The driver wearing white gloves was already waiting in front of the headquarter building. He opened the door and signaled her to get in the car, "Miss Lin, President Meng asked me to give you a ride."

"Don't bother."

She shook her head, "I can walk back by myself."

Meng Xuchang's words were not the biggest harm, what would make her irreparable was when Meng Qingxi woke up one day and proposed to break up with her.

The way back seemed to never end, and she almost exhausted all her strength.

It was already time for Lin Ziqiao to get off work when she returned to the office, and Yang Weizhou hadn't come back yet.There was a pile of documents waiting for her to deal with on the desktop, she sat down slumped, Yang Weizhou drove back to negotiate with Meng Tianwang angrily, if she could not succeed, she would not be able to sit in the director's position again.

Unexpectedly, in one day, both career and lover hit the rocks.

What merits did she accumulate?Will it be reduced to this kind of field all of a sudden?
There was a knock on the door, and her assistant pushed the door in. "Director Lin, is there anything else I need to do? If not, I'll get off work first."

"You go."

Lin Ziqiao raised her hand, everyone leave, leave her alone for a while, don't bother anyone.The assistant closed the office door for her. All of a sudden, the surroundings became so quiet that one could hear a needle drop to the ground. She sat alone in the dark for a long, long time.

Meng Qingxi made many calls, but she didn't answer them.

She no longer knew what kind of mood she should use to face him.

It was already nine o'clock in the evening when I got home. Except for the cup of coffee she drank in Meng Xuchang's office, Lin Ziqiao didn't eat anything, but she didn't feel hungry at all.Meng Qingxi stayed at home and waited. She didn't even take off her high heels before being dragged into the room by him.

"Sister, come and see."

A whole wall is covered with photos.All of them are photos of him and Lin Ziqiao, enlarged to the size of posters, and each one has a bright smile like a sunflower.Meng Qingxi smiled happily, and took away the hands that were covering her eyes. He spent the whole afternoon arranging the arrangements, and when he was full of joy, he ignored her depression. "Your birthday is coming up, but I can't wait to spend it with you. This is an early birthday present from me. You must think of me every night when you go to bed."

If it was normal, Lin Ziqiao would feel pleasantly surprised, and would even be so touched that her whole heart softened, but at this moment, she only felt that every smile in the photo was like a needle stabbing her.

All of a sudden, all her anger burst out.

"Don't call me sister again!"

Meng Qingxi was stunned by her yelling, and asked cautiously, "Sister, what's wrong?"

"I said don't call me sister anymore, did you hear that?!" Lin Ziqiao raised her hand, and slapped it clearly and neatly, and her face was already full of tears. "Meng Qingxi, how long are you going to lie to me? Once, twice or three times? Why do you always do this to me?"

Meng Qingxi had no idea what happened.

He had seen Lin Ziqiao get angry, he had seen her laugh happily, but he had never seen her shed tears so sadly.He held Lin Ziqiao in his arms, pressed her face to his chest, and felt her tears soaking his clothes.She doesn't have a hard shell at the moment, she is so fragile that she can't stand the slightest scrutiny.
