Chapter 1 This prince is not sympathetic at all
VOL.1
"In this world, on average, one out of every [-] people is suitable for you. Believe that one day you will meet him and recognize him among hundreds of millions of people.
Which means
—My dear, you will be happy. "
These are the words Yan Xiaonan comforted me on the day Jiang Yang and I broke up.
It was the only valuable word that I remember among the hundreds of nonsense she said that day.
My name is Liang Luoxin, and I am currently working in the marketing department of an advertising company.
Only after working did I realize that the road to promotion is tortuous, and the wish for a salary increase is beautiful.I have been struggling in this advertising company for more than three years, and I just got a position as an assistant manager of the marketing department.Although the name is good, the essence is no different from that of a handyman, and even has to work as a cleaning lady.
My immediate female boss couldn't wait to come back to work just after giving birth. Although her position was kept, our hard days came.She basically still enjoys the treatment of confinement every day. During working hours, she just sits in the office, looks at the computer, and makes phone calls.I'm the one who serves the tea and the water, and I'm the one who wipes the table and washes the cups.
But at that time, I had no complaints.
Because without a man, I need work and money even more.
"In this 38-degree Celsius weather, after going out for a while, all the perfume will evaporate." When Tang Min just came back from the outside, he always complained.
She sat across from me, talking on the phone for no less than three hours a day, and my patience and endurance have far surpassed the realm of Monkey King in Journey to the West.
"What are you typing?" Tang Min couldn't find anyone on the phone, and when he saw me typing on the keyboard, he leaned over and said, "Huanyu's plan?"
"Yeah." I said without looking up.
"What else do you want to change!" Tang Min pushed me, causing my chair to roll around.
"What do you mean?" I looked at her blankly.
Tang Min pouted to the manager's office, and said in a lower voice: "You don't know, Manager Ma was shut down yesterday, and was snapped by that shark Zheng--" She stretched her fingers across her neck and spread her hands Said: "It looks like the deal must have gone through the roof."
"Shark Zheng?"
"It's Zheng Kaiwen, the boss of Huanyu." Tang Min suddenly became interested, and said happily, "That's the top-quality diamond king. He is in his early thirties, with a prominent family background, a good-looking talent, and a lot of money, but he is cruel and merciless when he does things. Leave room for others. That's why people nicknamed 'Shark Zheng'."
I don't know if Zheng Kaiwen is the best diamond king, but after hearing what Tang Min said, I believe he is the God of Wealth of our company.Because I don't want to lose my job, I indirectly don't want to lose Zheng Kaiwen.
Tang Min definitely does not have the sense of urgency that I do, because her husband is the head of a certain company, drives a Mercedes-Benz sports car when he goes out, and goes to the Thousand Island Lake Villa (her private property) on vacation.As for me, I am just a 26-year-old single young woman. Last week, my only personal property (a bicycle) was also stolen. The house I live in is shared with Yan Xiaonan.
"Liang Luoxin?"
"Yes." I raised my head suddenly and saw Boss waving to me at the door of the manager's room.I hastily pushed aside the chair and walked in. The boss didn't even have an opening statement, so he went straight to the point: "Go to Huanyu in the afternoon and talk to Zheng Kaiwen in person. This list is more than 3000 million, and many advertising companies are rushing to grab it. You must find a way to grab it return."
"I…………?"
The Boss looked at me, and I understood from the Boss' eyes: As a junior supervisor of the marketing department, if I can't get back the order of more than 3000 million, I will definitely be kicked out of the house unceremoniously.
Therefore, this is not an order, but a certificate of life and death.
I carved the word "Pin" fiercely on my forehead, and the moment of life and death came.
Sitting in a taxi, I have been studying the gossip magazine Tang Min gave me.The candid photography technique of this kind of gossip magazine usually takes pictures of people as ugly as possible, and only takes a half-side view dangerously, so it is not clear what the person looks like at all.
I only recognize the gray Armani suit on him.It's a new model this summer, and the price is half a year's rent.
I once accompanied Jiang Yang to see Three on the Bund, although we did not own it in the end.
The taxi stopped at the entrance of Huanyu Building. When I got out of the car, I was immediately overwhelmed by the crowd.The same goes for the Oscars.I cautiously squeezed into the crowd, tentatively found someone and asked, "Excuse me, is this the Huanyu Building?"
As a result, the man only looked back at me, and turned his head away without saying a word.
I'm surprised that my charisma value has dropped to nothing like a stock in a bear market, but I really don't even feel like arguing in this scorching hot weather.I have to find a way to find Zheng Kaiwen.Do everything possible to persuade him to hand over next year's advertising plan to us.
My job is in his hands. If I can't find him, I will have to drink the northwest wind.
Suddenly there was chaos behind me, someone shouted: "Mr. Zheng, Mr. Zheng is here." Following me, I was pushed out by the chaotic flow of people, and my knee hit the tiles beside the flower bed. The pain made my teeth numb .
"Mr. Zheng, please wait a moment."
"Mr. Zheng, I'm a reporter from Fashion Magazine. I heard that you sponsored a race car..."
"Mr. Zheng, I'm from Kuixing Advertising Company..."
"Mr. Zheng, we have a plan, and I would like you to listen to it..."
"Mr. Zheng, Mr. Zheng, please give me a few minutes..."
"Mr. Zheng, I am a reporter from Chenguang Daily..."
Hundreds of "Mr. Zheng" came and went in my ears, and I saw people walking past me with a sense of direction.But I can only sit on the flower bed and wash the wound on my knee with the half-drinked mineral water.Suddenly I realized I couldn't sit still like this.I jumped up and squeezed into the crowd, shouting: "Mr. Zheng..." However, my voice was still drowned out by the group of "Mr. Zheng".
This is really a society where the weak prey on the strong. As a woman, facing this kind of cruelty, I really have more than I can do.
At this moment, a loud "Zheng Kaiwen" came out from the crowd.In an instant, all the noise disappeared instantly, and this clear female voice was like thunder rolling in the night sky, flattening the noise of the night.
I saw the crowd parting, a bright woman in a red dress and short skirt strode towards the black Mercedes, suddenly slapped the man who had just stepped out of the car with a loud slap.
My heart suddenly lifted up, just like seeing a dangerous place in a movie, I couldn't help but be affected by the plot.I couldn't help but think about the cause and effect of this slap, and then I thought logically: "What will happen next?" Unexpectedly... the man who was slapped slowly turned his face, and gently wiped his face with his pale, long and slender fingers. The corner of his mouth twitched, and under the light of countless flashing lights, he said calmly: "You are done, can I go?"
"Zheng Kaiwen, you bastard!" The woman grabbed the man's clothes, but was held back by two bodyguards rushing up from behind.
I can't help but say that even though he acted like a jerk at that time, there was still a moment that made my heart thump.
"Nannan, Nannan..."
Why is this voice so familiar? I turned my head to look, and saw Yan Xiaonan trotting after her with a pile of clothes in her arms, followed by a few people.Everyone seemed to be working together to save Nan Nan, and they all rushed forward, causing a scuffle.
I wanted to call Yan Xiaonan, but Yan Xiaonan didn't see me, but that tough Nan Nan saw me.
Soon I understood that what she saw was not me, but the mineral water in my hand.Because she quickly grabbed the mineral water in my hand, poured it on Zheng Kaiwen, and shouted: "Zheng Kaiwen, you are doing well, remember it!" Then she threw the mineral water bottle on the ground, turned around and left .
The crowd was in an uproar.
In a hurry, I didn't have time to take a closer look at what Zheng Kaiwen looked like, but I just remembered that this embarrassing scene didn't prevent him from standing still.In view of the convenient location, I took out a tissue and handed it over. He took it and wiped it. The bodyguard beside him quickly escorted him to the hotel.
Not far away, he suddenly stopped and turned around.Although I couldn't see clearly through the crowd, I still had the inexplicable feeling that he was looking at me.
Isn't this a performance of feeling too good about yourself-the legendary stinky beauty.
But at that time I really felt that he saw me, really saw me.
I saw the mineral water bottle again, it was on the cover of a magazine.
Not only did I see the bottle, I saw myself.The paparazzi photographed me so stupidly, I was crippled and limping in the crowd, and I was surrounded by the naturally beautiful Yan Xiaonan and Nannan, which made me look like an old lady picking up trash.
The boss probably also saw the mineral water bottle, and called me to the office early the next morning to scold me.
"You pass the bottle when someone splashes water, and you put firewood when someone lights a fire. Are you afraid that the world is not chaotic enough?"
"No, boss... that scene at that time... I... I was very helpless..." I was really helpless.
"I don't care how helpless you are, and I don't care what you have done. If there is no result, it is useless." Boss pointed at me aggressively, emphasizing every word: "I tell you Liang Luoxin, if this business is negotiated, it will be useless." If you don’t come down, you will be responsible for all losses.”
"All lost?"
More than 3000!
I can't afford to work as a coolie all my life, God, please let me know Li Ka-shing.
"Yes, all losses."
The boss slammed the magazine on the table, just in time to find Zheng Kaiwen's gossip news.I was like the hapless heroine in a bad script, getting into trouble for no reason.
The first person I thought of condemning was Yan Xiaonan.
"It's that bitch surnamed Zheng who should be beaten."
Yan Xiaonan sat on the bed with cotton stuffed between her four toes and nail polish.
"Now that he has caused you to lose your job, he deserves to fight you."
"Bah, Tongyan Wuji." I sat at the desk and typed on the computer, my mind was full of proposals, Zheng Kaiwen, and the pig's liver-like face of the boss when he was furious. "I haven't lost my job yet, so don't curse me."
"I mean what if." Yan Xiaonan stopped and said, "Sluts like Zheng are yawning and scolding. They completely trample on women's dignity like a sidewalk. Li Nannan, that idiot, eats and hangs out with his family. When I go shopping, I think that I have the opportunity to marry into a wealthy family, to be a standard young lady, and to be her big dream. I say that people with perfect golden ratios like Xiaonan have no chance.
I sneered and said, "Why do I hear that you also want to marry him?"
"Think about it without breaking the law." Yan Xiaonan has a good character of breaking cans and smashing things.
"Who is this Zheng Kaiwen? Why do so many people want to marry him?"
Yan Xiaonan couldn't help talking about it with relish: "The Zheng family is also ranked as the richest family in the city in Hong Kong. Zheng Kaiwen is the second child in the family, and he took over the family business when he was less than 20 years old. He is very talented, and he is so talented. Young and promising. Basically, he meets all the requirements of the best diamond king. The Hong Kong products that have been abroad are better than the local products..."
I didn't expect Yan Xiaonan to have such a detailed personal file. I suddenly thought of a way out, and before Yan Xiaonan finished speaking, I couldn't wait to ask: "You know so much about Zheng Kaiwen, why didn't you tell me earlier?"
"You didn't ask..."
"Then you just said that Nan Nan had dinner with him twice? Where did he eat?"
"What do you want...?"
I think I must have looked fierce, so that Yan Xiaonan became alert.
I shook Yan Xiaonan hard: "Tell me quickly, this is a matter of my life or death."
"In his private club."
"Private clubs?!"
"Surprised P. The rich young master even has private jets, not to mention private clubs. But he seldom takes women to his private place, let alone his home... So Li Nannan thought she was there once. I can really be lucky enough to marry into a wealthy family."
"Yan Xiaonan!"
"Okay, okay, I won't swear." Yan Xiaonan raised her ten bright red nails, stared at me suddenly and said, "Liang Luoxin, don't get his idea. Even though Jiang Yang is gone, you can't be so hungry .That kind of person is not suitable for you, be careful that he gets a good deal and then behaves well, and finally sells you."
I smiled: "Someone said it just now, but if you think about it, it's not illegal."
woman.
I raised my head and said, "And if I can afford 3000 million yuan in compensation, I am willing to sell myself to pay off the debt."
In the next week, I continued to worry about Huanyu's case.
After being rejected by Secretary Zheng Kaiwen several times in a row, I decided not to follow the right path.It is better to be surprised than to fight preparedly.I went to the private club Yan Xiaonan mentioned.Zheng Kaiwen is not a local. Although he also has real estate in this city, I think it is equivalent to a hotel where he lives irregularly, and it is more likely to meet him in a private club.
To be honest, it was the first time for a poor person like me to come to a place like a club, and I was really not used to it.Especially the ladies who serve are all brighter and more attractive than movie stars, which makes me quite ashamed.If it weren't for the thought that everything can be reported to the public account, I would definitely not be so straightforward when paying.
After several days of lurking, I finally saw Zheng Kaiwen.
In his black Armani suit and tie, he looked as if he had just returned from work.There are a lot of subordinates behind the buttocks, those who report to work, those who wait for instructions, and those who are strong and strong, they are bodyguards.
They came striding through the glass doors without even looking in my direction.
I had no choice but to pack my things in a hurry, and rushed over to try to block his way: "I'm sorry, Mr. Zheng, I'm Liang Luoxin from the Marketing Department of SK Advertising Company. I want to talk to you about our advertising plan..."
With a slap of his hand, he pushed me out of the elevator.
So arrogant, so impolite, so rude... It's completely different from the ones in Hong Kong dramas.I was pushed away several steps abruptly, and I heard the big man cursed rudely in Cantonese.
Zheng Kaiwen didn't even move his eyelids, his gaze completely skipped over me and disappeared into an inexplicable distance.
I just watched the metal door of the elevator close little by little in front of me, and watched Zheng Kaiwen's extremely handsome face disappear in front of me like this.
I stared at the elevator sign and saw that it stopped on the third floor.
On the third floor, there is a billiard room.
At any rate, I also spent nearly half a year's salary on a membership card, and I have to realize its value no matter what.
When I came to the billiard room, Zheng Kaiwen had already made a putt there.
"Mr. Zheng..." As soon as I entered the door, everyone paid attention to me.
I'm the only one here, dressed in a suit and high heels, holding a dozen file bags.
So I look awkward.
"Mr. Zheng, I'm sorry..."
I couldn't go on, a pair of rude big hands stopped me three feet away from the table.
Zheng Kaiwen still lowered his head to aim at his target, without raising his eyelashes to me.With a slight push of the club, the white ball hits the red ball, the red ball hits the basketball, and rolls into the bag.
He straightened up and was a head taller than me.
He only wears a crisp white shirt now, and his muscular lines are faintly visible under the thin cotton fabric.I believe that it is definitely not a problem for him to strangle me to death with a slap, but at this time, I came here with an attitude of not wanting to die, so I just looked up at him and said with a smile: "Mr. 3 minutes, I only need 3 minutes, and I won’t waste any more of your time. I believe you will be very interested in my plan after hearing it.”
"Miss, I'm sorry." That annoying big man stood in front of me stubbornly, with his hands behind his back and said: "Mr. Zheng doesn't like to be disturbed when he is playing. Please go out."
Although he pointed me in the direction of the gate, I just pretended not to see it.
I was confident: "Why should I go out, I paid for it, and I am also a member here."
The big man turned around to ask his employer for his opinion, but his employer still had the bitter face, dabbing the club with talcum powder and staring at the 7 ball.
"Miss, I can take you to another entertainment room."
"What reason do you have to restrict my personal freedom?" The more straightforward I was, the stronger I became.
"Then you can stay." Zheng Kaiwen spoke suddenly.
Because I was surprised that his voice was so beautiful and his Mandarin was so standard, I couldn't immediately retort.Zheng Kaiwen was still so disdainful of everything, without even looking at me, he naturally threw the cue in his hand to the waiter beside him, and with the other hand, he grabbed the coat provided by the entourage, and strode towards the gate with great strides.
So the big man stopped blocking me.
In fact, it doesn't make any sense whether he stops me or not.
When I remembered, only the swing door of the billiard room was still shaking slightly.
"Kevin Cheng."
I gritted my teeth, stomped my feet, and swore, I will definitely get you done.
VOL.2
Anyway, my communication expenses this month must have exceeded the standard.
In order to be able to report to the public account, I used all the language phrases I could learn from elementary school to university in the reimbursement report.But the department manager turned a deaf ear to my long speech, and just threw me a sentence: "Liang Luoxin, if the company's efforts are not rewarded accordingly, you have to bear all the expenses yourself."
I understand that I can't escape the fate of being debt-collected.
Go all out, which is what Yan Xiaonan said: A dead pig is not afraid of boiling water.
I don't think I've ever been so thick-skinned in my entire life that I would take the initiative to seek out the house of a man I didn't know.But I really can't help it, I'm already a "dead pig", who cares about its thick skin and thin skin.
The high-end apartments are guarded at all levels, but the guards don't seem to be very vigilant towards me.
I said, I'm here to find Mr. Zheng on the 23rd floor. (I seldom blush since I was a liar.) The young building superintendent called upstairs, but no one answered.He wanted to make a second call, and I said urgently, "I'm already late, can you let me go up first."
He seemed to have no doubts about me, and walked over to press the elevator for me.
Afterwards, I think that there may only be two possibilities: the first is what Yan Xiaonan often said, no matter how brave a man is, he will fall in the hands of a beautiful woman.Of course, I think the possibility of this possibility happening to me is very unlikely.Then it is the second type.In other words, there were too many women who came to Zheng Kaiwen, so even the guards didn't bother to question them one by one.
Of course, at that time, I was too nervous, and there was no extra memory in my mind to think about this.
I rang the doorbell of 2301, but it was not Zheng Kaiwen who opened the door.But I also recognize this guy.A guy who blocked me three meters away from Zheng Kaiwen several times in a row and caused me to owe a lot of debt. No matter what, I can't forget his face.He was taken aback when he saw it, and then both of us were stunned.
"Akun, who's here?"
——I recognize this voice, it's Zheng Kaiwen.
"Mr. Zheng..." The man looked at me and then at the room.
"Come in for a meeting, and we'll talk about everything later." Zheng Kaiwen ordered urgently, so that the person named Akun let me in before he could figure out the situation.
I have a wolf mentality of being brought into the closet, a fluke mentality.
I walked in obediently, stepping on the carpet carefully.
There was a table of people in the room having a meeting, Zheng Kaiwen turned his back to the living room, so he didn't see me at all.And all the others are also very focused.It was a huge oval conference table. It was hard for me to imagine that any normal person would set up such a conference table at home, which occupied almost half of the entire living room, but the remaining half One is also bigger than Yan Xiaonan and I's puppy kennel.
"I'm going back to Hong Kong next week, and I'll leave the rest of the matter to Mr. Wang...cough...and the factory...cough, cough..."
Zheng Kaiwen coughed like bullets, breaking the silence in the room.
The quieter the room was, the more protruding his cough became.
I nestled in the sofa, careful not to make any noise, so as not to be kicked out immediately.I've always been curious about rich people's homes. Although Yan Xiaonan is considered rich, she's just richer than me.But Zheng Kaiwen is different, he is the son of a rich man in the city, the legendary rich second generation.And I have jewelry stores, banks, and investment companies.There are private houses in many cities, and I am curious to know how the life of these rich people is different from ours.
But I searched around the ceiling, and I couldn't find anything different from my home.It's just that the sofa is a little soft, and I just nestled in the sofa and almost fell asleep.
It was the sound of those people pushing back the chairs as they stood up suddenly that woke me up.
I sat up vigilantly, and Zheng Kaiwen hadn't stood up from the chair at that time.He sat there, as quiet as a sculpture, and when everyone left, they consciously didn't look at me more.I think this is a rule set by the boss, because maybe...they mistook me for "the boss's woman".
As for the boss's woman, of course the subordinates are not allowed to visit casually.
I kept waiting for Zheng Kaiwen to stand up, but after 5 minutes after everyone was gone, he still didn't stand up.
I couldn't help but strike first.
"Mr. Zheng." I shouted very softly, and I was standing beside him, so he didn't hear me.
He just propped his forehead with one hand and closed his eyes, as if he was sleeping or recuperating.
He did look tired.
I turned up the volume and got closer: "Mr. Zheng."
He still didn't hear it.
"Mr. Zheng..."
This time he heard it, and was terrified.
Suddenly startled, trembling all over, almost jumped up from the chair.
Seeing his frightened and demented face, I smiled.
"How did you get in?" He frowned.
"I've been in for over an hour."
"You've been here all the time?"
"Hmm." I know it's wrong, but I have absolutely no intention of eavesdropping on their trade secrets, and I don't know anything about banks or jewelry.But I didn't explain it to him. I would not be able to speak flexibly in front of him.
"How did you find this place? Cough cough." Zheng Kaiwen coughed until his face flushed.
Although I knew that he was very uncomfortable and that it was difficult for him to speak and breathe, but I kept talking about my plan and my purpose.Because at that time, I only had my "3000 million" in my mind.
"I took the elevator downstairs...Actually...I'm sorry, I know it's wrong to bother you like this. But please give me 3 minutes, please? I can finish explaining this plan to you in just 3 minutes." I just sat on the upper seat to his left, spread out the folder and pushed it in front of him.
He didn't push those things away, and he looked up at me, and then he looked at his watch and said, "I only have 2 minutes, I have to go out to a meeting later."
"Okay." I was so excited that I forgot the opening remarks and went straight to the topic.
He leaned on the back of the chair, propped his forehead with one hand, and looked at me with half-closed eyes.
It was strange, his cough sounded like a small hammer, hitting my heart one after another.My heart trembled slightly with his coughing, like rain hitting the glass, crackling.
I stopped suddenly, and he looked at me and said, "What's wrong? You still have 1 minute."
I said seriously: "Mr. Zheng, are you uncomfortable?"
"Just a little cold." He rubbed his temples and said to me, "Go on."
I closed the folder, tidied up my things, and said, "Let's see, next time."
"Maybe there will be no next time. Miss, let's stop here today." He stood up without any hesitation, turned around, but bumped into the sliding door frame, stepped back in a daze, and stood firmly on the chair up.
"Hey, are you okay?" I stretched out my hands and ran up, helping him involuntarily.
The impact was not light, and a large red spot appeared on his forehead.But he just frowned, shook his body slightly, and shook his hand at me.
This guy is so sick that he can hit the door frame at home, but he doesn't hit the electric pole when he goes out.He actually said he was going to a meeting?Through the cotton shirt, his body was hot like a fireball. I wondered if I put an egg in his hand now, would it turn into a hard-boiled egg five minutes later.
According to daily fever experience, such body temperature is at least 39 degrees.
"Mr. Zheng, you have a fever, go to the doctor."
"No, I have things to do." He said with his eyes closed, the redness on his forehead slowly fading.
I suspect that he may have burned so badly that he doesn't even know who I am, otherwise he wouldn't be so good-tempered.
"Sit here for a while." I helped him sit down on the sofa in the living room, and then searched around the room.It's amazing that such a big home doesn't have a medical kit, not even a single cold medicine.What's even more outrageous is that except for half a dozen eggs in the refrigerator, there is only beer, and white wine is mineral water.
Is he on a hunger strike?
I found the glass, cracked an egg, and made a glass of eggnog.
"Drink it." I held the cup in front of him, gently supported his head and said, "Although it doesn't taste good, it's very useful."
Zheng Kaiwen was very vigilant, but his eyes were already blurred. Looking at the strange drink in the cup, he said, "What?"
"Special cold medicine." I took advantage of his doubts and waited for an opportunity to stuff the cup in his hand.I tricked and poured the whole glass of eggnog into his stomach, and then saw him frowning unwillingly, I was very satisfied.
A few months ago, I made Jiang Yang drink my "special cold medicine" in the same way.
If I hadn't cured his cold, he wouldn't have left me to go out alone.Then maybe, he is still by my side now, even if he is a little sick, but at least he is still by my side.
I put down the glass, looked back at Zheng Kaiwen and said, "I'm going out for a while, I'll be back soon."
I took the elevator downstairs and went straight to the supermarket in the next street.I bought a lot of things that I think I should need, including cold medicine of course.In fact, I don't understand why I do this myself.But when I rushed back to Zheng Kaiwen's apartment with a big bag of things, I felt very satisfied and happy.
But I suddenly discovered that Zheng Kaiwen was gone.
The empty room of more than 300 square meters suddenly became very cold.
I went to the table, put the two big bags of things there, and then sat by the table alone, stupefied.
What kind of person is he?
There is no trace of a woman in this room.Is he really as romantic as Yan Xiaonan said?Then maybe he is really like what Yan Xiaonan said, never bringing women home... He didn't even lock the door when he left, but in fact there is nothing in his house worthy of a thief.
If a person who is so ill and stupid goes out to discuss business, will he give away his business?
This house is very big, too big, and a bit desolate... I live alone in a viewing room with three bedrooms and two living rooms. It is so newly decorated, it looks like no one has ever lived in it.Everything in the room is brand new. A 47-inch LCD wall-mounted TV, a three-door refrigerator like a cabinet... But I guess he doesn't even know where the remote control of the TV is.
I suddenly missed the little kennel that Yan Xiaonan and I shared.I suddenly hope that this place can be a little popular, at least, like a place where people live...
I don't even know what I did that day.
I helped a man I didn't know (maybe I can't be called a stranger now) to clean the house (not really clean, the room was too clean), tidy the kitchen, prepare the medicine box... and still keep the stove A pot of porridge was stewed on the table.
I used to do all of this for Jiang Yang.
So it's easy to do now, but a little sad.
I left the apartment after five o'clock.
The sky is gray, and there is a melancholy feeling that the mountains and rain are about to come.I think I'm a fool for missing out on 3000 million and doing an unpaid hourly job for someone.
So, what can I get in return?
What happened after that day, I still feel incredible to this day.I think, if it wasn't for meeting Zheng Kaiwen, I would never have encountered such a thing in my life.
At 05:30, after I came out of Zheng Kaiwen's apartment, I stood on the side of the road and hailed a taxi.
This is a very wide road, surrounded by green belts except for residential areas.In this city, the only people who can live in an apartment like this are the rich and high-ranking officials.But I forgot that most people here have private cars.So waiting for a taxi is almost as hopeless as waiting for the sun to go down.
However, not long after I stood up, a blue taxi drove up and stopped in front of me at the corner.
The passengers in the car paid and got out of the car, and I opened the door and got in the car without even thinking about it.
At this moment, the accident happened.
The man who just got out of the car suddenly turned around and pressed my head violently, and stuffed me into the car.Another person in the car covered my mouth with a rag (hope it was a rag), and I was stunned by the choking smell, I instinctively struggled twice in vain, and completely lost awareness.
Maybe the day passed slowly, and when I woke up, I felt that I was in a strange room.
There was the sound of ping-ping-pong-pong outside... the sound of a man talking.
My eyes were blindfolded and opaque, and I could only vaguely feel that everything around me was cold and strange.
Suddenly there was a bang, like a heavy iron door being slowly pulled open, and then someone asked loudly, "Any news?"
"No."
"Fuck, shit..."
Cans collided and fell...things broke and there was a screeching noise.
But the yelling terrified me, and I tried to curl up against the wall.I finally understood that I couldn't be as brave and invincible as the movie Supergirl.I was really scared, terribly scared... The thought that had disappeared from my mind for a year and four months suddenly came back: Jiang Yang, come and save me.
"This Zheng Kaiwen is so fucking inhuman."
They speak fluent Cantonese, which I can't really hear.
However, they did mention Zheng Kaiwen?
Kidnap me because of Zheng Kaiwen?
There must be a mistake.
But what went wrong?
My heart started beating drums up and down.They were right, this Zheng Kaiwen looked so inhuman, he even abused himself, not to mention me, an irrelevant person.So, Jiang Yang, come back and save me, okay?No matter where you are, no matter how far you go, as long as you save me, please come save me...
In a long period of helplessness and weary fear, I seemed to fall asleep.
I don't know how long it took, but I was woken up again by voices outside: "Kaiwen Zheng, stop talking nonsense! You can't see you at 12 o'clock, just wait for the body to be collected."
I was trembling all over, and suddenly there was the sound of the door opening again.
I was brutally pushed out into a van, blindfolded, but I could still feel the roughness of the road.It turned out that my call did not pass through time and space, and it turned out that Jiang Yang had really left me.One year and four months... the desperation was at my throat and I couldn't breathe.
I almost feel that it doesn't matter if I die like this.
But...they didn't kill me, but took me to an empty factory building, and then took off my blindfold.
The first person I saw when I opened my eyes was Zheng Kaiwen in Armani.
For a moment, I was speechless with excitement.Maybe it's because I didn't expect him to appear at all, even the big man beside him whose name I don't know, I feel very kind.
"Here they are." The man behind me pushed me forward.
Zheng Kaiwen suddenly said lightly: "She is not my sister."
I felt as if I had been slapped in the head, and I was immediately stunned... It turned out that it was like this.
"Hey, stop joking." The kidnapper didn't seem to believe it either, and pulled me with a dumbfounded expression, and said, "Do you think we'll let her go if you say that?"
Zheng Kaiwen didn't say a word, turned around without hesitation, and walked out with the big man beside him.
"Hey—you are not so inhuman." I shouted in my heart, but my mouth was sealed with tape, and I could only make a whining sound.
Those men suddenly hesitated at this moment, as if they didn't expect Zheng Kaiwen to be so decisive.
And I fell from the high cliff in an instant, and I was about to cry out in despair.Life... is so ruthless.I was mistaken for Zheng Kaiwen's sister and kidnapped by a group of thugs for no reason. If Jiang Yang didn't come to rescue me, this guy didn't seem to intend to redeem me at all.
"But..." Zheng Kaiwen suddenly stopped, turned around, and said in a hesitant tone, "Let's make a deal."
One of the three people was about to make a phone call when he saw Zheng Kaiwen turn around and suddenly stopped.
Zheng Kaiwen glanced at me and said, "Give her to me as if I owe you a favor."
The three men looked at each other for a while, Zheng Kaiwen smiled instead.He said: "Although I don't know why your boss wants you to do this. If he just wanted to give me a warning, then I received it. You give me people, when I owe you a favor, I promise never to ask you trouble."
The three still did not reply.
I looked at Zheng Kaiwen anxiously, but he was as determined as if he was waiting for a big sale in a supermarket at the end of the year.
"Well, Mr. Zheng, we don't want to be your enemy either." So someone pushed me towards Zheng Kaiwen, who just wrapped his arms around me, smiled at the three people and said, "Thanks. I Keep your word, you leave here, and I will bear all the expenses."
The moment I walked out of the warehouse, I felt a sense of rebirth, and the dazzling white sunlight made me unable to open my eyes.Zheng Kaiwen took off his coat and put it on my shoulders. Although he hugged him tightly and hard, I was still shaking.
"Akun, go to my apartment." Zheng Kaiwen said to the big man Akun after getting in the car.
"Mr. Zheng, I'm afraid there will be reporters there." Akun started the car hesitantly.
Zheng Kaiwen also hesitated, glanced at me, and asked, "Do you want to go to the hospital?"
I shook my head.
"Go to the apartment." Zheng Kaiwen said resolutely.
VOL.3
From the moment he left the warehouse, Zheng Kaiwen never left my side.
His palms are broad and powerful, and his shoulders are wider than I imagined.I used to lean on Jiang Yang's shoulders for a long time. His shoulders are also very broad, and his palms are big. He can always hug me tightly with ease.But now there is nothing left, without Jiang Yang, without his care, without his love... We have become strangers who have no intersection at all.
Upstairs to the apartment, Zheng Kaiwen pressed the combination lock.
Akun pushed open the door, and there was a sudden bang.
I was so scared that I jumped back, and my back slammed into the cold metal door of the elevator, and my whole body was numb from the pain in an instant.Zheng Kaiwen was also taken aback, and Akun rushed into the room quickly.
"Surprise!" All the lights in the room were turned on in an instant.
A girl is standing on a high sofa with a bottle of bubbling champagne in her hand, her face is full of joy.
This scene made us all startled.
There was no surprise.
Zheng Kaiwen came to his senses and helped me to the sofa in the living room and sat down.
The girl jumped off the sofa and said with a smile: "Brother, you didn't tell me when you brought your girlfriend back. Did I disturb you?"
Zheng Kaiwen tore off his tie silently and threw it on the sofa, then suddenly yelled at the girl, "Where have you been? No one listened to your phone calls. The immigration department said you arrived in Shanghai the day before yesterday, but why did Dawei look around for you?" You can't even find it? Do you know how much trouble you have caused?"
"What'sup?" The girl stared at a pair of big innocent eyes and shrugged nonchalantly, turned around and walked to the bar to pour open champagne into a glass, and said, "I arrived yesterday. But I met you in Xintiandi A few friends, I forgot to contact you after having too much fun, and the phone just ran out of battery. What does it matter..."
"Snapped!"
Zheng Kaiwen raised his hand and slapped the girl. The wine glass in the girl's hand fell on the carpet, and the champagne splashed onto her jeans.The girl looked at Zheng Kaiwen in horror, and suddenly covered her face and yelled back angrily: "You are crazy!"
"The one who is crazy is you. How long will it take for you to stop your family from worrying about you? You are already 20 years old and still so ignorant."
The girl pushed away Zheng Kaiwen who was standing in front of her eyes: "Isn't it just one night, do you need to yell like this! I have been abroad for more than eight years, and you have ignored me. Has anyone ever cared about me?" life and death!"
"Say it again!" Zheng Kaiwen's voice suddenly increased, and the momentum made me tremble all over.
The girl was also shocked and couldn't speak for a while.Suddenly she took a step back timidly, her eyes sparkled, and said helplessly: "I came to see you with good intentions, but I will be scolded by you again. I am really crazy! I'm leaving!" After finishing speaking, she didn't look back He grabbed the backpack on the sofa and strode out.
"Zheng Kaiyue, come back!" Zheng Kaiwen chased after two steps, but failed to catch up.
"Okay, you go! If you have the ability, don't come back for the rest of your life!" He yelled at the door angrily, and suddenly swept all the glasses of champagne on the bar to the ground.
The sound of ping-pong-pong sounded like sharp knives provoking my nerves. I held down my hand and ordered myself not to tremble.However, Akun noticed my gaffe.Zheng Kaiwen didn't look at me, but took a deep breath, and said to Akun who was beside him: "Go and follow her, don't let her get into trouble."
Akun obediently chased Zheng Kaiyue out.
I looked up and watched him pace up and down the room in horror.After a long time, he finally stood in front of the bar, and only then did he notice my gaze.He poured a cup of hot water from the cabinet, handed it to me, and said softly, "You can rest here tonight."
"No, I should go back." My voice was still trembling, and my whole body was trembling.
I stood up, took off his coat, and walked resolutely to the door.
"Wait a minute," he picked up the phone and chased after him, saying, "It's hard to get a car here, I'll ask the driver to come and take you off." Then I made a call, and I sat down on the sofa again, finally able to look around the room calmly everything in it.
I just came here yesterday.
I cleaned up everything in the house, and now it seems that nothing has changed, and the pot of porridge is still on the stove.Nothing had changed except for a floor of broken glass and champagne.
But, as if in a lifetime, I don't seem to remember what happened.
When I got home, Yan Xiaonan yelled as if he had seen a ghost.
"Where have you been? The boss of your company has called you several times to find you, but your cell phone is not turned on... I almost went back to your home. I even called 110."
"I'm fine, I'm tired." I walked limply back into the house, threw myself on the bed, fell into a deep sleep, and said in a daze, "No matter what happens, don't go back to my house. Yan Xiaonan, I told you, if you dare to let my parents know about me, I will kill you..."
The next day, I slept until noon before getting up limply and returning to the company to work. No one asked me about what happened that day.
It wasn't until lunch time that my colleague suddenly said that someone was looking for me.
I walked into the reception room and unexpectedly saw Zheng Kaiwen sitting there with Akun standing behind him.
He turned his head to look at me, and said with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, "You're here."
I squeaked, Akun backed out, and closed the door smoothly.
"Sit down." He said to me presumptuously.I sat down slowly and looked at him cautiously.
"You left in a hurry that day, and I didn't have time to return a lot of things to you." He pushed a paper bag on the table to me, and I opened the paper bag, and what I saw was a new Prada red handbag, a mobile phone, and other things. s things.
I looked at him strangely: "This is not my thing."
"I asked my subordinates to do these, I wonder if you are satisfied?"
"But it's not mine." I returned the paper bag.
He responded with a low voice, and turned on the lighter again, with a crisp ding. "I thought it would be inconvenient for you not to have a phone."
"My salary is enough to buy me a new cell phone." Of course I can't afford a red Prada handbag.
He let out a breath suddenly, and said leisurely: "Then this is my little care, and it is a compensation for what happened that day."
It turned out to be a hush money.
I was disdainful and a little angry in my heart, and my tone couldn't help becoming less friendly: "That's not necessary, I am a person who knows when to say something."
Zheng Kaiwen laughed instead.
When he laughed, his pupils became hazy.It's like a hot spring with mist floating, you can see the bottom of the water at a glance, but you don't know how deep the water is.
"Then let me thank you for the fever-reducing medicine that day, and..." He put the lighter in his trouser pocket and said, "Your porridge."
I thought he didn't remember that little thing at all, but I didn't expect him to say that suddenly.
I suddenly felt that it was extremely stupid to do that.
After a long time, I said very unnaturally: "No need."
"In this case," Zheng Kaiwen stood up, and his tone became extremely cold: "Then I will take my leave, Akun."
When the big bodyguard heard his name being called, he quickly opened the door and walked in.
"Mr. Zheng." I called him suddenly, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "If you really want to thank me, can you entrust our company with this year's advertising project?"
Zheng Kaiwen didn't seem to expect me to say this, the corners of his eyebrows twitched, and the corners of his mouth raised a mocking smile.
I know what he's thinking, but it doesn't matter.Anyway, he has already regarded this as a deal, so I might as well place a bigger stake.
He walked back towards me, but I dared not raise my head to look at him.
"Miss Liang Luoxin," he bent down slightly, and said to me softly, "I'm sorry, I can't promise you."
For a moment, I was relieved.
I'm really afraid that he will say TVB dialogues like "Your appetite is really big" and "Your price is not worth the price". He should understand, he must understand, I have no personal interests with him, everything is just It's just business dealings.He declined, and I was relieved to have expected him to.
"I'm a businessman, and I take my business very seriously." He smiled at me and walked out of the conference room without looking back.
I raised my head, only to notice that a bunch of people had already gathered outside the office, staring at Zheng Kaiwen's leaving back with piercing eyes.Suddenly a girl ran up and pulled my arm and said, "Luo Xin, is he Zheng Kaiwen? I am more handsome than the magazines."
"What did he come to see you for?"
Someone noticed the paper package on the table.
I hastily tucked the paper bag into my arms, made a pretense and quickly returned to my seat.For some reason, my face was burning hot.
"Liang Luoxin, come in." The manager's yell saved me from my panic, and soon I was called into the office to look at her face painted like a Japanese geisha.
"I heard that Zheng Kaiwen came to see you just now?"
"Oh, yes."
"So, this cooperation..."
She deliberately prolonged her voice, as if waiting for my answer, but I couldn't answer at all.
"Sorry, he refused." As I expected, there was no superficial change on the face that had been painted too many times, but I could fully imagine the hidden waves and undercurrents.
"Liang Luoxin..." I was very afraid of being called by my full name, it was a sign of bad luck.
"I'm very disappointed in you." The manager's tone was really disappointed.
"Do you know how much money the company has invested in this project? Your monthly reimbursement alone is already five figures. You also know that the company is in a downturn now, and old employees like you have no credit for it." There is also hard work, but the company can’t always keep a batch of pioneer cattle and worship them like Guanyin.”
In an instant, I understood the lightness in her expression, so it was like this.
Before I was fired, I suddenly understood the reason why the manager wanted to fire me wholeheartedly.Not because I'm too incompetent, but because I'm already a threat to her.It turned out that during the months of her childbirth, I had threatened her status several times without knowing it.
Maybe she has waited a long time and worked hard, even harder than I waited for Jiang Yang to come back.
When I lost my job, the first thing I got was Yan Xiaonan's comfort.
"Actually, it doesn't matter. Didn't you also say that you were unhappy? She didn't fire you, so you fired her. Anyway, she fired you, and you still have a month's pension. Take it as a big vacation for yourself , How about going to Hong Kong with me? Go and relax, and then slowly find a job when you come back. I’m afraid you won’t be able to find a good job like a bone spirit.”
Yan Xiaonan patted my shoulder, as if to comfort me, but I think she was more like showing her grand career blueprint.
"Go to Hong Kong? Why?"
"I have a new commercial. I want to go to Hong Kong to shoot a location for a week. Come with me. Food and drink are all included, and you can have a lot of sponsors. Wouldn't it be great." She stood on the sofa, twisting her body , like a charming cobra.
"I'm not in the mood." I fell asleep on the sofa with my pillow in my arms, looking up at the snow-white ceiling.
I am not troubled by losing my job, let alone losing confidence in my future.I don't know why, my heart is suddenly very chaotic.It's like a tangled hemp that can't be figured out.
"Hey, Luo Xin, can you give me your Prada bag?" Yan Xiaonan grabbed my arm, trying to drag me up from the sofa.
"No, that one has to be returned to others."
"It's only more than 3 yuan. Rich people don't care about it. Since he wants to give it to you, he definitely won't take it."
"That doesn't work, I'll buy it for you again."
"You're unemployed now, and you think you're rich."
"Not at all."
I buried my head in a pile of throw pillows, dizzy.
In those few days, Yan Xiaonan didn't have to start work, so the two of us cleaned the dog's bed at home.Then I bought a bunch of cold drinks with the dozen or so dollars I spent selling old newspapers and old magazines, and sat on the sofa and ate ice cream while watching a comedy show.I completely forgot how painful it was to buy those hardcover magazines.
A few days later, I received a call from Zheng Kaiwen.
I don't know why he came to me again. Could it be that he suddenly went bankrupt and wanted me to return that Prada bag to sell?I was laughing at myself in my heart: Not everyone is like me, who can still be shamelessly optimistic when I am poor and unlucky.
We made an appointment to meet at Binjiang Avenue in the evening.
I have been watching this Huangpu River for more than [-] years, and for the first time today I feel that it is really as beautiful as it looks on TV.And it's all because of Zheng Kaiwen.If this person puts aside self-abuse, inhumanity, and strange personality, he can still be regarded as a talented person, suave and suave, and his demeanor is comparable to that of TVB's first-line male stars.
The wind of the Huangpu River blows his neat Armani, and he stands like a radiant work of art, standing in the remote corner of this riverside boulevard.
The familiar Akun walked up to him and muttered a few words.
Zheng Kaiwen turned around and looked at me, strangely.Every time he looks at me recently, he seems to have a lot to say.I don't know which sensory system of mine is the problem. In short, I think he is very preoccupied and lonely.
"You're here." He turned and looked at me, and I could only walk towards him.
"I just came to return this to you. Last time you left in a hurry and didn't take it." I handed him the paper bag and thought about it: If he was as ostentatious as the young master in the TV series, what would he say? I will take it back", then I will throw it directly into the Huangpu River.
Fortunately, he didn't. Akun came up to take the paper bag in my hand, and then retreated three meters away.
"I didn't expect you to come." He lowered his head and lit a cigarette.
To be honest, I always thought that the limited-edition zippo in his hand was a decoration. I didn't know it was a genuine zippo until it spewed out blue flames and shivered in the wind.
"Since I promised you to come, I will definitely come." I pressed my hair with one hand, and turned my face away to prevent the wind from blowing me into a white-haired witch.
He smiled, and suddenly said seriously: "I know that half of the reason why you lost your job is because of me, so I want to invite you to work in my company. On the one hand, it is my compensation, on the other hand, it is your help I'm busy, my company in Hong Kong needs help very much."
I couldn't laugh or cry for a few seconds, and then sneered: "Mr. Zheng, there is not only one advertising company in Shanghai, nor is there only one company with a marketing department. I believe it is not difficult to find a job that can make a living. To be honest, I'm really not used to being handed out."
"I know." He smiled, the sparks from the cigarette flickering on his lips. "So I also said the second reason."
"I don't know what kind of talent your company needs, but I don't think I can help you. Sorry, I have to go."
"Miss Liang, you also hope for a good development, don't you?"
"Yes." I do not deny that I have no love, and I have always longed for success in my career.
"And your friend, you also hope she can get a good development, don't you?"
He raised his eyebrows at me arrogantly and curled the corners of his mouth.
At this time, I quickly realized who the friend Zheng Kaiwen was talking about was.
"I gave your friend a chance," he said leisurely, "now she can go to Hong Kong to shoot a film and commercial, and there will be better opportunities in the future. These were originally Li Nannan's opportunities, but she didn't want them herself. I believe, you don't Will be as stupid as her. Miss Liang, you are a smart person, and you are capable. "
Is this a threat?I met the underworld?
"What if I don't agree?" Let me bargain when buying vegetables.
"Since your current company can fire you, future companies may also have this possibility. And just as you said, there is really more than one advertising company in Shanghai, nor is there only one company with a marketing department. But I don't know What are your chances of..."
"I understand." I said unwillingly: "Mr. Zheng, you are really an unscrupulous person."
He slowly exhaled a puff of smoke ring, which was quickly blown away by the wind.
"That's why I said, Miss Liang, you are a smart person."
But I feel that I am the most unlucky person, being blackmailed for no reason, why?Why does he, a handsome young man with a lot of money, want to have trouble with me?
Young and beautiful?Smart and capable?Or is it a shameless face?
"Mr. Zheng, may I ask you a question?"
Kevin Cheng looked at me, so I knew I could keep asking.
"I know that you came to Shanghai this time for your company's affairs, but why did your company ask me for help? You have known me for less than half a month, and we have only dealt with each other two or three times. Do you understand me? Are you not afraid Am I killing your company?" I just cost my ex company a 3000 million business!
"Similarly, I also ask you this question, how do you answer?" The wind blew his bangs up, and I found that his forehead was full and energetic, but his brows were always furrowed.Why is he like Jiang Yang, always likes to frown slightly like this, why...
"You have known me for less than half a month, and you have only dealt with me two or three times. Aren't you afraid that I will sell you?"
My heart couldn't help trembling slightly, his voice was as strange and distant as that person.
"I... am not afraid." I tried to smile: "If you want to do that, you won't save me."
"I'm sorry." He suddenly said in a low voice: "I caused you to lose your job, let me compensate you. Come with me to Hong Kong, although I ruined everything, I can make you start again, believe me."
restart?
Can this diamond-like new and shining word belong to me?
During the year and four months when I lost Jiang Yang, no matter how hard I tried and how busy I was, I still couldn't completely forget it, so the brand new and shining "restart" was never for me.
I have no way to refuse.
"Mr. Zheng, I... promise you."
I let go, and the chestnut curly hair cascaded up with the wind, and the world was full of my smell.
"Miss Liang is indeed a smart person." Zheng Kaiwen turned his face, smiled at me, and then looked at the feasting lights on the other side of the Huangpu River. The momentary loneliness in his eyes made my heart feel cold.
He is lonely, as lonely as Jiang Yang.
I suddenly felt that this person should not be what I saw, maybe what I saw was just a corner of his vast world.
And what the real world looks like, I don't know.
(End of this chapter)
VOL.1
"In this world, on average, one out of every [-] people is suitable for you. Believe that one day you will meet him and recognize him among hundreds of millions of people.
Which means
—My dear, you will be happy. "
These are the words Yan Xiaonan comforted me on the day Jiang Yang and I broke up.
It was the only valuable word that I remember among the hundreds of nonsense she said that day.
My name is Liang Luoxin, and I am currently working in the marketing department of an advertising company.
Only after working did I realize that the road to promotion is tortuous, and the wish for a salary increase is beautiful.I have been struggling in this advertising company for more than three years, and I just got a position as an assistant manager of the marketing department.Although the name is good, the essence is no different from that of a handyman, and even has to work as a cleaning lady.
My immediate female boss couldn't wait to come back to work just after giving birth. Although her position was kept, our hard days came.She basically still enjoys the treatment of confinement every day. During working hours, she just sits in the office, looks at the computer, and makes phone calls.I'm the one who serves the tea and the water, and I'm the one who wipes the table and washes the cups.
But at that time, I had no complaints.
Because without a man, I need work and money even more.
"In this 38-degree Celsius weather, after going out for a while, all the perfume will evaporate." When Tang Min just came back from the outside, he always complained.
She sat across from me, talking on the phone for no less than three hours a day, and my patience and endurance have far surpassed the realm of Monkey King in Journey to the West.
"What are you typing?" Tang Min couldn't find anyone on the phone, and when he saw me typing on the keyboard, he leaned over and said, "Huanyu's plan?"
"Yeah." I said without looking up.
"What else do you want to change!" Tang Min pushed me, causing my chair to roll around.
"What do you mean?" I looked at her blankly.
Tang Min pouted to the manager's office, and said in a lower voice: "You don't know, Manager Ma was shut down yesterday, and was snapped by that shark Zheng--" She stretched her fingers across her neck and spread her hands Said: "It looks like the deal must have gone through the roof."
"Shark Zheng?"
"It's Zheng Kaiwen, the boss of Huanyu." Tang Min suddenly became interested, and said happily, "That's the top-quality diamond king. He is in his early thirties, with a prominent family background, a good-looking talent, and a lot of money, but he is cruel and merciless when he does things. Leave room for others. That's why people nicknamed 'Shark Zheng'."
I don't know if Zheng Kaiwen is the best diamond king, but after hearing what Tang Min said, I believe he is the God of Wealth of our company.Because I don't want to lose my job, I indirectly don't want to lose Zheng Kaiwen.
Tang Min definitely does not have the sense of urgency that I do, because her husband is the head of a certain company, drives a Mercedes-Benz sports car when he goes out, and goes to the Thousand Island Lake Villa (her private property) on vacation.As for me, I am just a 26-year-old single young woman. Last week, my only personal property (a bicycle) was also stolen. The house I live in is shared with Yan Xiaonan.
"Liang Luoxin?"
"Yes." I raised my head suddenly and saw Boss waving to me at the door of the manager's room.I hastily pushed aside the chair and walked in. The boss didn't even have an opening statement, so he went straight to the point: "Go to Huanyu in the afternoon and talk to Zheng Kaiwen in person. This list is more than 3000 million, and many advertising companies are rushing to grab it. You must find a way to grab it return."
"I…………?"
The Boss looked at me, and I understood from the Boss' eyes: As a junior supervisor of the marketing department, if I can't get back the order of more than 3000 million, I will definitely be kicked out of the house unceremoniously.
Therefore, this is not an order, but a certificate of life and death.
I carved the word "Pin" fiercely on my forehead, and the moment of life and death came.
Sitting in a taxi, I have been studying the gossip magazine Tang Min gave me.The candid photography technique of this kind of gossip magazine usually takes pictures of people as ugly as possible, and only takes a half-side view dangerously, so it is not clear what the person looks like at all.
I only recognize the gray Armani suit on him.It's a new model this summer, and the price is half a year's rent.
I once accompanied Jiang Yang to see Three on the Bund, although we did not own it in the end.
The taxi stopped at the entrance of Huanyu Building. When I got out of the car, I was immediately overwhelmed by the crowd.The same goes for the Oscars.I cautiously squeezed into the crowd, tentatively found someone and asked, "Excuse me, is this the Huanyu Building?"
As a result, the man only looked back at me, and turned his head away without saying a word.
I'm surprised that my charisma value has dropped to nothing like a stock in a bear market, but I really don't even feel like arguing in this scorching hot weather.I have to find a way to find Zheng Kaiwen.Do everything possible to persuade him to hand over next year's advertising plan to us.
My job is in his hands. If I can't find him, I will have to drink the northwest wind.
Suddenly there was chaos behind me, someone shouted: "Mr. Zheng, Mr. Zheng is here." Following me, I was pushed out by the chaotic flow of people, and my knee hit the tiles beside the flower bed. The pain made my teeth numb .
"Mr. Zheng, please wait a moment."
"Mr. Zheng, I'm a reporter from Fashion Magazine. I heard that you sponsored a race car..."
"Mr. Zheng, I'm from Kuixing Advertising Company..."
"Mr. Zheng, we have a plan, and I would like you to listen to it..."
"Mr. Zheng, Mr. Zheng, please give me a few minutes..."
"Mr. Zheng, I am a reporter from Chenguang Daily..."
Hundreds of "Mr. Zheng" came and went in my ears, and I saw people walking past me with a sense of direction.But I can only sit on the flower bed and wash the wound on my knee with the half-drinked mineral water.Suddenly I realized I couldn't sit still like this.I jumped up and squeezed into the crowd, shouting: "Mr. Zheng..." However, my voice was still drowned out by the group of "Mr. Zheng".
This is really a society where the weak prey on the strong. As a woman, facing this kind of cruelty, I really have more than I can do.
At this moment, a loud "Zheng Kaiwen" came out from the crowd.In an instant, all the noise disappeared instantly, and this clear female voice was like thunder rolling in the night sky, flattening the noise of the night.
I saw the crowd parting, a bright woman in a red dress and short skirt strode towards the black Mercedes, suddenly slapped the man who had just stepped out of the car with a loud slap.
My heart suddenly lifted up, just like seeing a dangerous place in a movie, I couldn't help but be affected by the plot.I couldn't help but think about the cause and effect of this slap, and then I thought logically: "What will happen next?" Unexpectedly... the man who was slapped slowly turned his face, and gently wiped his face with his pale, long and slender fingers. The corner of his mouth twitched, and under the light of countless flashing lights, he said calmly: "You are done, can I go?"
"Zheng Kaiwen, you bastard!" The woman grabbed the man's clothes, but was held back by two bodyguards rushing up from behind.
I can't help but say that even though he acted like a jerk at that time, there was still a moment that made my heart thump.
"Nannan, Nannan..."
Why is this voice so familiar? I turned my head to look, and saw Yan Xiaonan trotting after her with a pile of clothes in her arms, followed by a few people.Everyone seemed to be working together to save Nan Nan, and they all rushed forward, causing a scuffle.
I wanted to call Yan Xiaonan, but Yan Xiaonan didn't see me, but that tough Nan Nan saw me.
Soon I understood that what she saw was not me, but the mineral water in my hand.Because she quickly grabbed the mineral water in my hand, poured it on Zheng Kaiwen, and shouted: "Zheng Kaiwen, you are doing well, remember it!" Then she threw the mineral water bottle on the ground, turned around and left .
The crowd was in an uproar.
In a hurry, I didn't have time to take a closer look at what Zheng Kaiwen looked like, but I just remembered that this embarrassing scene didn't prevent him from standing still.In view of the convenient location, I took out a tissue and handed it over. He took it and wiped it. The bodyguard beside him quickly escorted him to the hotel.
Not far away, he suddenly stopped and turned around.Although I couldn't see clearly through the crowd, I still had the inexplicable feeling that he was looking at me.
Isn't this a performance of feeling too good about yourself-the legendary stinky beauty.
But at that time I really felt that he saw me, really saw me.
I saw the mineral water bottle again, it was on the cover of a magazine.
Not only did I see the bottle, I saw myself.The paparazzi photographed me so stupidly, I was crippled and limping in the crowd, and I was surrounded by the naturally beautiful Yan Xiaonan and Nannan, which made me look like an old lady picking up trash.
The boss probably also saw the mineral water bottle, and called me to the office early the next morning to scold me.
"You pass the bottle when someone splashes water, and you put firewood when someone lights a fire. Are you afraid that the world is not chaotic enough?"
"No, boss... that scene at that time... I... I was very helpless..." I was really helpless.
"I don't care how helpless you are, and I don't care what you have done. If there is no result, it is useless." Boss pointed at me aggressively, emphasizing every word: "I tell you Liang Luoxin, if this business is negotiated, it will be useless." If you don’t come down, you will be responsible for all losses.”
"All lost?"
More than 3000!
I can't afford to work as a coolie all my life, God, please let me know Li Ka-shing.
"Yes, all losses."
The boss slammed the magazine on the table, just in time to find Zheng Kaiwen's gossip news.I was like the hapless heroine in a bad script, getting into trouble for no reason.
The first person I thought of condemning was Yan Xiaonan.
"It's that bitch surnamed Zheng who should be beaten."
Yan Xiaonan sat on the bed with cotton stuffed between her four toes and nail polish.
"Now that he has caused you to lose your job, he deserves to fight you."
"Bah, Tongyan Wuji." I sat at the desk and typed on the computer, my mind was full of proposals, Zheng Kaiwen, and the pig's liver-like face of the boss when he was furious. "I haven't lost my job yet, so don't curse me."
"I mean what if." Yan Xiaonan stopped and said, "Sluts like Zheng are yawning and scolding. They completely trample on women's dignity like a sidewalk. Li Nannan, that idiot, eats and hangs out with his family. When I go shopping, I think that I have the opportunity to marry into a wealthy family, to be a standard young lady, and to be her big dream. I say that people with perfect golden ratios like Xiaonan have no chance.
I sneered and said, "Why do I hear that you also want to marry him?"
"Think about it without breaking the law." Yan Xiaonan has a good character of breaking cans and smashing things.
"Who is this Zheng Kaiwen? Why do so many people want to marry him?"
Yan Xiaonan couldn't help talking about it with relish: "The Zheng family is also ranked as the richest family in the city in Hong Kong. Zheng Kaiwen is the second child in the family, and he took over the family business when he was less than 20 years old. He is very talented, and he is so talented. Young and promising. Basically, he meets all the requirements of the best diamond king. The Hong Kong products that have been abroad are better than the local products..."
I didn't expect Yan Xiaonan to have such a detailed personal file. I suddenly thought of a way out, and before Yan Xiaonan finished speaking, I couldn't wait to ask: "You know so much about Zheng Kaiwen, why didn't you tell me earlier?"
"You didn't ask..."
"Then you just said that Nan Nan had dinner with him twice? Where did he eat?"
"What do you want...?"
I think I must have looked fierce, so that Yan Xiaonan became alert.
I shook Yan Xiaonan hard: "Tell me quickly, this is a matter of my life or death."
"In his private club."
"Private clubs?!"
"Surprised P. The rich young master even has private jets, not to mention private clubs. But he seldom takes women to his private place, let alone his home... So Li Nannan thought she was there once. I can really be lucky enough to marry into a wealthy family."
"Yan Xiaonan!"
"Okay, okay, I won't swear." Yan Xiaonan raised her ten bright red nails, stared at me suddenly and said, "Liang Luoxin, don't get his idea. Even though Jiang Yang is gone, you can't be so hungry .That kind of person is not suitable for you, be careful that he gets a good deal and then behaves well, and finally sells you."
I smiled: "Someone said it just now, but if you think about it, it's not illegal."
woman.
I raised my head and said, "And if I can afford 3000 million yuan in compensation, I am willing to sell myself to pay off the debt."
In the next week, I continued to worry about Huanyu's case.
After being rejected by Secretary Zheng Kaiwen several times in a row, I decided not to follow the right path.It is better to be surprised than to fight preparedly.I went to the private club Yan Xiaonan mentioned.Zheng Kaiwen is not a local. Although he also has real estate in this city, I think it is equivalent to a hotel where he lives irregularly, and it is more likely to meet him in a private club.
To be honest, it was the first time for a poor person like me to come to a place like a club, and I was really not used to it.Especially the ladies who serve are all brighter and more attractive than movie stars, which makes me quite ashamed.If it weren't for the thought that everything can be reported to the public account, I would definitely not be so straightforward when paying.
After several days of lurking, I finally saw Zheng Kaiwen.
In his black Armani suit and tie, he looked as if he had just returned from work.There are a lot of subordinates behind the buttocks, those who report to work, those who wait for instructions, and those who are strong and strong, they are bodyguards.
They came striding through the glass doors without even looking in my direction.
I had no choice but to pack my things in a hurry, and rushed over to try to block his way: "I'm sorry, Mr. Zheng, I'm Liang Luoxin from the Marketing Department of SK Advertising Company. I want to talk to you about our advertising plan..."
With a slap of his hand, he pushed me out of the elevator.
So arrogant, so impolite, so rude... It's completely different from the ones in Hong Kong dramas.I was pushed away several steps abruptly, and I heard the big man cursed rudely in Cantonese.
Zheng Kaiwen didn't even move his eyelids, his gaze completely skipped over me and disappeared into an inexplicable distance.
I just watched the metal door of the elevator close little by little in front of me, and watched Zheng Kaiwen's extremely handsome face disappear in front of me like this.
I stared at the elevator sign and saw that it stopped on the third floor.
On the third floor, there is a billiard room.
At any rate, I also spent nearly half a year's salary on a membership card, and I have to realize its value no matter what.
When I came to the billiard room, Zheng Kaiwen had already made a putt there.
"Mr. Zheng..." As soon as I entered the door, everyone paid attention to me.
I'm the only one here, dressed in a suit and high heels, holding a dozen file bags.
So I look awkward.
"Mr. Zheng, I'm sorry..."
I couldn't go on, a pair of rude big hands stopped me three feet away from the table.
Zheng Kaiwen still lowered his head to aim at his target, without raising his eyelashes to me.With a slight push of the club, the white ball hits the red ball, the red ball hits the basketball, and rolls into the bag.
He straightened up and was a head taller than me.
He only wears a crisp white shirt now, and his muscular lines are faintly visible under the thin cotton fabric.I believe that it is definitely not a problem for him to strangle me to death with a slap, but at this time, I came here with an attitude of not wanting to die, so I just looked up at him and said with a smile: "Mr. 3 minutes, I only need 3 minutes, and I won’t waste any more of your time. I believe you will be very interested in my plan after hearing it.”
"Miss, I'm sorry." That annoying big man stood in front of me stubbornly, with his hands behind his back and said: "Mr. Zheng doesn't like to be disturbed when he is playing. Please go out."
Although he pointed me in the direction of the gate, I just pretended not to see it.
I was confident: "Why should I go out, I paid for it, and I am also a member here."
The big man turned around to ask his employer for his opinion, but his employer still had the bitter face, dabbing the club with talcum powder and staring at the 7 ball.
"Miss, I can take you to another entertainment room."
"What reason do you have to restrict my personal freedom?" The more straightforward I was, the stronger I became.
"Then you can stay." Zheng Kaiwen spoke suddenly.
Because I was surprised that his voice was so beautiful and his Mandarin was so standard, I couldn't immediately retort.Zheng Kaiwen was still so disdainful of everything, without even looking at me, he naturally threw the cue in his hand to the waiter beside him, and with the other hand, he grabbed the coat provided by the entourage, and strode towards the gate with great strides.
So the big man stopped blocking me.
In fact, it doesn't make any sense whether he stops me or not.
When I remembered, only the swing door of the billiard room was still shaking slightly.
"Kevin Cheng."
I gritted my teeth, stomped my feet, and swore, I will definitely get you done.
VOL.2
Anyway, my communication expenses this month must have exceeded the standard.
In order to be able to report to the public account, I used all the language phrases I could learn from elementary school to university in the reimbursement report.But the department manager turned a deaf ear to my long speech, and just threw me a sentence: "Liang Luoxin, if the company's efforts are not rewarded accordingly, you have to bear all the expenses yourself."
I understand that I can't escape the fate of being debt-collected.
Go all out, which is what Yan Xiaonan said: A dead pig is not afraid of boiling water.
I don't think I've ever been so thick-skinned in my entire life that I would take the initiative to seek out the house of a man I didn't know.But I really can't help it, I'm already a "dead pig", who cares about its thick skin and thin skin.
The high-end apartments are guarded at all levels, but the guards don't seem to be very vigilant towards me.
I said, I'm here to find Mr. Zheng on the 23rd floor. (I seldom blush since I was a liar.) The young building superintendent called upstairs, but no one answered.He wanted to make a second call, and I said urgently, "I'm already late, can you let me go up first."
He seemed to have no doubts about me, and walked over to press the elevator for me.
Afterwards, I think that there may only be two possibilities: the first is what Yan Xiaonan often said, no matter how brave a man is, he will fall in the hands of a beautiful woman.Of course, I think the possibility of this possibility happening to me is very unlikely.Then it is the second type.In other words, there were too many women who came to Zheng Kaiwen, so even the guards didn't bother to question them one by one.
Of course, at that time, I was too nervous, and there was no extra memory in my mind to think about this.
I rang the doorbell of 2301, but it was not Zheng Kaiwen who opened the door.But I also recognize this guy.A guy who blocked me three meters away from Zheng Kaiwen several times in a row and caused me to owe a lot of debt. No matter what, I can't forget his face.He was taken aback when he saw it, and then both of us were stunned.
"Akun, who's here?"
——I recognize this voice, it's Zheng Kaiwen.
"Mr. Zheng..." The man looked at me and then at the room.
"Come in for a meeting, and we'll talk about everything later." Zheng Kaiwen ordered urgently, so that the person named Akun let me in before he could figure out the situation.
I have a wolf mentality of being brought into the closet, a fluke mentality.
I walked in obediently, stepping on the carpet carefully.
There was a table of people in the room having a meeting, Zheng Kaiwen turned his back to the living room, so he didn't see me at all.And all the others are also very focused.It was a huge oval conference table. It was hard for me to imagine that any normal person would set up such a conference table at home, which occupied almost half of the entire living room, but the remaining half One is also bigger than Yan Xiaonan and I's puppy kennel.
"I'm going back to Hong Kong next week, and I'll leave the rest of the matter to Mr. Wang...cough...and the factory...cough, cough..."
Zheng Kaiwen coughed like bullets, breaking the silence in the room.
The quieter the room was, the more protruding his cough became.
I nestled in the sofa, careful not to make any noise, so as not to be kicked out immediately.I've always been curious about rich people's homes. Although Yan Xiaonan is considered rich, she's just richer than me.But Zheng Kaiwen is different, he is the son of a rich man in the city, the legendary rich second generation.And I have jewelry stores, banks, and investment companies.There are private houses in many cities, and I am curious to know how the life of these rich people is different from ours.
But I searched around the ceiling, and I couldn't find anything different from my home.It's just that the sofa is a little soft, and I just nestled in the sofa and almost fell asleep.
It was the sound of those people pushing back the chairs as they stood up suddenly that woke me up.
I sat up vigilantly, and Zheng Kaiwen hadn't stood up from the chair at that time.He sat there, as quiet as a sculpture, and when everyone left, they consciously didn't look at me more.I think this is a rule set by the boss, because maybe...they mistook me for "the boss's woman".
As for the boss's woman, of course the subordinates are not allowed to visit casually.
I kept waiting for Zheng Kaiwen to stand up, but after 5 minutes after everyone was gone, he still didn't stand up.
I couldn't help but strike first.
"Mr. Zheng." I shouted very softly, and I was standing beside him, so he didn't hear me.
He just propped his forehead with one hand and closed his eyes, as if he was sleeping or recuperating.
He did look tired.
I turned up the volume and got closer: "Mr. Zheng."
He still didn't hear it.
"Mr. Zheng..."
This time he heard it, and was terrified.
Suddenly startled, trembling all over, almost jumped up from the chair.
Seeing his frightened and demented face, I smiled.
"How did you get in?" He frowned.
"I've been in for over an hour."
"You've been here all the time?"
"Hmm." I know it's wrong, but I have absolutely no intention of eavesdropping on their trade secrets, and I don't know anything about banks or jewelry.But I didn't explain it to him. I would not be able to speak flexibly in front of him.
"How did you find this place? Cough cough." Zheng Kaiwen coughed until his face flushed.
Although I knew that he was very uncomfortable and that it was difficult for him to speak and breathe, but I kept talking about my plan and my purpose.Because at that time, I only had my "3000 million" in my mind.
"I took the elevator downstairs...Actually...I'm sorry, I know it's wrong to bother you like this. But please give me 3 minutes, please? I can finish explaining this plan to you in just 3 minutes." I just sat on the upper seat to his left, spread out the folder and pushed it in front of him.
He didn't push those things away, and he looked up at me, and then he looked at his watch and said, "I only have 2 minutes, I have to go out to a meeting later."
"Okay." I was so excited that I forgot the opening remarks and went straight to the topic.
He leaned on the back of the chair, propped his forehead with one hand, and looked at me with half-closed eyes.
It was strange, his cough sounded like a small hammer, hitting my heart one after another.My heart trembled slightly with his coughing, like rain hitting the glass, crackling.
I stopped suddenly, and he looked at me and said, "What's wrong? You still have 1 minute."
I said seriously: "Mr. Zheng, are you uncomfortable?"
"Just a little cold." He rubbed his temples and said to me, "Go on."
I closed the folder, tidied up my things, and said, "Let's see, next time."
"Maybe there will be no next time. Miss, let's stop here today." He stood up without any hesitation, turned around, but bumped into the sliding door frame, stepped back in a daze, and stood firmly on the chair up.
"Hey, are you okay?" I stretched out my hands and ran up, helping him involuntarily.
The impact was not light, and a large red spot appeared on his forehead.But he just frowned, shook his body slightly, and shook his hand at me.
This guy is so sick that he can hit the door frame at home, but he doesn't hit the electric pole when he goes out.He actually said he was going to a meeting?Through the cotton shirt, his body was hot like a fireball. I wondered if I put an egg in his hand now, would it turn into a hard-boiled egg five minutes later.
According to daily fever experience, such body temperature is at least 39 degrees.
"Mr. Zheng, you have a fever, go to the doctor."
"No, I have things to do." He said with his eyes closed, the redness on his forehead slowly fading.
I suspect that he may have burned so badly that he doesn't even know who I am, otherwise he wouldn't be so good-tempered.
"Sit here for a while." I helped him sit down on the sofa in the living room, and then searched around the room.It's amazing that such a big home doesn't have a medical kit, not even a single cold medicine.What's even more outrageous is that except for half a dozen eggs in the refrigerator, there is only beer, and white wine is mineral water.
Is he on a hunger strike?
I found the glass, cracked an egg, and made a glass of eggnog.
"Drink it." I held the cup in front of him, gently supported his head and said, "Although it doesn't taste good, it's very useful."
Zheng Kaiwen was very vigilant, but his eyes were already blurred. Looking at the strange drink in the cup, he said, "What?"
"Special cold medicine." I took advantage of his doubts and waited for an opportunity to stuff the cup in his hand.I tricked and poured the whole glass of eggnog into his stomach, and then saw him frowning unwillingly, I was very satisfied.
A few months ago, I made Jiang Yang drink my "special cold medicine" in the same way.
If I hadn't cured his cold, he wouldn't have left me to go out alone.Then maybe, he is still by my side now, even if he is a little sick, but at least he is still by my side.
I put down the glass, looked back at Zheng Kaiwen and said, "I'm going out for a while, I'll be back soon."
I took the elevator downstairs and went straight to the supermarket in the next street.I bought a lot of things that I think I should need, including cold medicine of course.In fact, I don't understand why I do this myself.But when I rushed back to Zheng Kaiwen's apartment with a big bag of things, I felt very satisfied and happy.
But I suddenly discovered that Zheng Kaiwen was gone.
The empty room of more than 300 square meters suddenly became very cold.
I went to the table, put the two big bags of things there, and then sat by the table alone, stupefied.
What kind of person is he?
There is no trace of a woman in this room.Is he really as romantic as Yan Xiaonan said?Then maybe he is really like what Yan Xiaonan said, never bringing women home... He didn't even lock the door when he left, but in fact there is nothing in his house worthy of a thief.
If a person who is so ill and stupid goes out to discuss business, will he give away his business?
This house is very big, too big, and a bit desolate... I live alone in a viewing room with three bedrooms and two living rooms. It is so newly decorated, it looks like no one has ever lived in it.Everything in the room is brand new. A 47-inch LCD wall-mounted TV, a three-door refrigerator like a cabinet... But I guess he doesn't even know where the remote control of the TV is.
I suddenly missed the little kennel that Yan Xiaonan and I shared.I suddenly hope that this place can be a little popular, at least, like a place where people live...
I don't even know what I did that day.
I helped a man I didn't know (maybe I can't be called a stranger now) to clean the house (not really clean, the room was too clean), tidy the kitchen, prepare the medicine box... and still keep the stove A pot of porridge was stewed on the table.
I used to do all of this for Jiang Yang.
So it's easy to do now, but a little sad.
I left the apartment after five o'clock.
The sky is gray, and there is a melancholy feeling that the mountains and rain are about to come.I think I'm a fool for missing out on 3000 million and doing an unpaid hourly job for someone.
So, what can I get in return?
What happened after that day, I still feel incredible to this day.I think, if it wasn't for meeting Zheng Kaiwen, I would never have encountered such a thing in my life.
At 05:30, after I came out of Zheng Kaiwen's apartment, I stood on the side of the road and hailed a taxi.
This is a very wide road, surrounded by green belts except for residential areas.In this city, the only people who can live in an apartment like this are the rich and high-ranking officials.But I forgot that most people here have private cars.So waiting for a taxi is almost as hopeless as waiting for the sun to go down.
However, not long after I stood up, a blue taxi drove up and stopped in front of me at the corner.
The passengers in the car paid and got out of the car, and I opened the door and got in the car without even thinking about it.
At this moment, the accident happened.
The man who just got out of the car suddenly turned around and pressed my head violently, and stuffed me into the car.Another person in the car covered my mouth with a rag (hope it was a rag), and I was stunned by the choking smell, I instinctively struggled twice in vain, and completely lost awareness.
Maybe the day passed slowly, and when I woke up, I felt that I was in a strange room.
There was the sound of ping-ping-pong-pong outside... the sound of a man talking.
My eyes were blindfolded and opaque, and I could only vaguely feel that everything around me was cold and strange.
Suddenly there was a bang, like a heavy iron door being slowly pulled open, and then someone asked loudly, "Any news?"
"No."
"Fuck, shit..."
Cans collided and fell...things broke and there was a screeching noise.
But the yelling terrified me, and I tried to curl up against the wall.I finally understood that I couldn't be as brave and invincible as the movie Supergirl.I was really scared, terribly scared... The thought that had disappeared from my mind for a year and four months suddenly came back: Jiang Yang, come and save me.
"This Zheng Kaiwen is so fucking inhuman."
They speak fluent Cantonese, which I can't really hear.
However, they did mention Zheng Kaiwen?
Kidnap me because of Zheng Kaiwen?
There must be a mistake.
But what went wrong?
My heart started beating drums up and down.They were right, this Zheng Kaiwen looked so inhuman, he even abused himself, not to mention me, an irrelevant person.So, Jiang Yang, come back and save me, okay?No matter where you are, no matter how far you go, as long as you save me, please come save me...
In a long period of helplessness and weary fear, I seemed to fall asleep.
I don't know how long it took, but I was woken up again by voices outside: "Kaiwen Zheng, stop talking nonsense! You can't see you at 12 o'clock, just wait for the body to be collected."
I was trembling all over, and suddenly there was the sound of the door opening again.
I was brutally pushed out into a van, blindfolded, but I could still feel the roughness of the road.It turned out that my call did not pass through time and space, and it turned out that Jiang Yang had really left me.One year and four months... the desperation was at my throat and I couldn't breathe.
I almost feel that it doesn't matter if I die like this.
But...they didn't kill me, but took me to an empty factory building, and then took off my blindfold.
The first person I saw when I opened my eyes was Zheng Kaiwen in Armani.
For a moment, I was speechless with excitement.Maybe it's because I didn't expect him to appear at all, even the big man beside him whose name I don't know, I feel very kind.
"Here they are." The man behind me pushed me forward.
Zheng Kaiwen suddenly said lightly: "She is not my sister."
I felt as if I had been slapped in the head, and I was immediately stunned... It turned out that it was like this.
"Hey, stop joking." The kidnapper didn't seem to believe it either, and pulled me with a dumbfounded expression, and said, "Do you think we'll let her go if you say that?"
Zheng Kaiwen didn't say a word, turned around without hesitation, and walked out with the big man beside him.
"Hey—you are not so inhuman." I shouted in my heart, but my mouth was sealed with tape, and I could only make a whining sound.
Those men suddenly hesitated at this moment, as if they didn't expect Zheng Kaiwen to be so decisive.
And I fell from the high cliff in an instant, and I was about to cry out in despair.Life... is so ruthless.I was mistaken for Zheng Kaiwen's sister and kidnapped by a group of thugs for no reason. If Jiang Yang didn't come to rescue me, this guy didn't seem to intend to redeem me at all.
"But..." Zheng Kaiwen suddenly stopped, turned around, and said in a hesitant tone, "Let's make a deal."
One of the three people was about to make a phone call when he saw Zheng Kaiwen turn around and suddenly stopped.
Zheng Kaiwen glanced at me and said, "Give her to me as if I owe you a favor."
The three men looked at each other for a while, Zheng Kaiwen smiled instead.He said: "Although I don't know why your boss wants you to do this. If he just wanted to give me a warning, then I received it. You give me people, when I owe you a favor, I promise never to ask you trouble."
The three still did not reply.
I looked at Zheng Kaiwen anxiously, but he was as determined as if he was waiting for a big sale in a supermarket at the end of the year.
"Well, Mr. Zheng, we don't want to be your enemy either." So someone pushed me towards Zheng Kaiwen, who just wrapped his arms around me, smiled at the three people and said, "Thanks. I Keep your word, you leave here, and I will bear all the expenses."
The moment I walked out of the warehouse, I felt a sense of rebirth, and the dazzling white sunlight made me unable to open my eyes.Zheng Kaiwen took off his coat and put it on my shoulders. Although he hugged him tightly and hard, I was still shaking.
"Akun, go to my apartment." Zheng Kaiwen said to the big man Akun after getting in the car.
"Mr. Zheng, I'm afraid there will be reporters there." Akun started the car hesitantly.
Zheng Kaiwen also hesitated, glanced at me, and asked, "Do you want to go to the hospital?"
I shook my head.
"Go to the apartment." Zheng Kaiwen said resolutely.
VOL.3
From the moment he left the warehouse, Zheng Kaiwen never left my side.
His palms are broad and powerful, and his shoulders are wider than I imagined.I used to lean on Jiang Yang's shoulders for a long time. His shoulders are also very broad, and his palms are big. He can always hug me tightly with ease.But now there is nothing left, without Jiang Yang, without his care, without his love... We have become strangers who have no intersection at all.
Upstairs to the apartment, Zheng Kaiwen pressed the combination lock.
Akun pushed open the door, and there was a sudden bang.
I was so scared that I jumped back, and my back slammed into the cold metal door of the elevator, and my whole body was numb from the pain in an instant.Zheng Kaiwen was also taken aback, and Akun rushed into the room quickly.
"Surprise!" All the lights in the room were turned on in an instant.
A girl is standing on a high sofa with a bottle of bubbling champagne in her hand, her face is full of joy.
This scene made us all startled.
There was no surprise.
Zheng Kaiwen came to his senses and helped me to the sofa in the living room and sat down.
The girl jumped off the sofa and said with a smile: "Brother, you didn't tell me when you brought your girlfriend back. Did I disturb you?"
Zheng Kaiwen tore off his tie silently and threw it on the sofa, then suddenly yelled at the girl, "Where have you been? No one listened to your phone calls. The immigration department said you arrived in Shanghai the day before yesterday, but why did Dawei look around for you?" You can't even find it? Do you know how much trouble you have caused?"
"What'sup?" The girl stared at a pair of big innocent eyes and shrugged nonchalantly, turned around and walked to the bar to pour open champagne into a glass, and said, "I arrived yesterday. But I met you in Xintiandi A few friends, I forgot to contact you after having too much fun, and the phone just ran out of battery. What does it matter..."
"Snapped!"
Zheng Kaiwen raised his hand and slapped the girl. The wine glass in the girl's hand fell on the carpet, and the champagne splashed onto her jeans.The girl looked at Zheng Kaiwen in horror, and suddenly covered her face and yelled back angrily: "You are crazy!"
"The one who is crazy is you. How long will it take for you to stop your family from worrying about you? You are already 20 years old and still so ignorant."
The girl pushed away Zheng Kaiwen who was standing in front of her eyes: "Isn't it just one night, do you need to yell like this! I have been abroad for more than eight years, and you have ignored me. Has anyone ever cared about me?" life and death!"
"Say it again!" Zheng Kaiwen's voice suddenly increased, and the momentum made me tremble all over.
The girl was also shocked and couldn't speak for a while.Suddenly she took a step back timidly, her eyes sparkled, and said helplessly: "I came to see you with good intentions, but I will be scolded by you again. I am really crazy! I'm leaving!" After finishing speaking, she didn't look back He grabbed the backpack on the sofa and strode out.
"Zheng Kaiyue, come back!" Zheng Kaiwen chased after two steps, but failed to catch up.
"Okay, you go! If you have the ability, don't come back for the rest of your life!" He yelled at the door angrily, and suddenly swept all the glasses of champagne on the bar to the ground.
The sound of ping-pong-pong sounded like sharp knives provoking my nerves. I held down my hand and ordered myself not to tremble.However, Akun noticed my gaffe.Zheng Kaiwen didn't look at me, but took a deep breath, and said to Akun who was beside him: "Go and follow her, don't let her get into trouble."
Akun obediently chased Zheng Kaiyue out.
I looked up and watched him pace up and down the room in horror.After a long time, he finally stood in front of the bar, and only then did he notice my gaze.He poured a cup of hot water from the cabinet, handed it to me, and said softly, "You can rest here tonight."
"No, I should go back." My voice was still trembling, and my whole body was trembling.
I stood up, took off his coat, and walked resolutely to the door.
"Wait a minute," he picked up the phone and chased after him, saying, "It's hard to get a car here, I'll ask the driver to come and take you off." Then I made a call, and I sat down on the sofa again, finally able to look around the room calmly everything in it.
I just came here yesterday.
I cleaned up everything in the house, and now it seems that nothing has changed, and the pot of porridge is still on the stove.Nothing had changed except for a floor of broken glass and champagne.
But, as if in a lifetime, I don't seem to remember what happened.
When I got home, Yan Xiaonan yelled as if he had seen a ghost.
"Where have you been? The boss of your company has called you several times to find you, but your cell phone is not turned on... I almost went back to your home. I even called 110."
"I'm fine, I'm tired." I walked limply back into the house, threw myself on the bed, fell into a deep sleep, and said in a daze, "No matter what happens, don't go back to my house. Yan Xiaonan, I told you, if you dare to let my parents know about me, I will kill you..."
The next day, I slept until noon before getting up limply and returning to the company to work. No one asked me about what happened that day.
It wasn't until lunch time that my colleague suddenly said that someone was looking for me.
I walked into the reception room and unexpectedly saw Zheng Kaiwen sitting there with Akun standing behind him.
He turned his head to look at me, and said with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, "You're here."
I squeaked, Akun backed out, and closed the door smoothly.
"Sit down." He said to me presumptuously.I sat down slowly and looked at him cautiously.
"You left in a hurry that day, and I didn't have time to return a lot of things to you." He pushed a paper bag on the table to me, and I opened the paper bag, and what I saw was a new Prada red handbag, a mobile phone, and other things. s things.
I looked at him strangely: "This is not my thing."
"I asked my subordinates to do these, I wonder if you are satisfied?"
"But it's not mine." I returned the paper bag.
He responded with a low voice, and turned on the lighter again, with a crisp ding. "I thought it would be inconvenient for you not to have a phone."
"My salary is enough to buy me a new cell phone." Of course I can't afford a red Prada handbag.
He let out a breath suddenly, and said leisurely: "Then this is my little care, and it is a compensation for what happened that day."
It turned out to be a hush money.
I was disdainful and a little angry in my heart, and my tone couldn't help becoming less friendly: "That's not necessary, I am a person who knows when to say something."
Zheng Kaiwen laughed instead.
When he laughed, his pupils became hazy.It's like a hot spring with mist floating, you can see the bottom of the water at a glance, but you don't know how deep the water is.
"Then let me thank you for the fever-reducing medicine that day, and..." He put the lighter in his trouser pocket and said, "Your porridge."
I thought he didn't remember that little thing at all, but I didn't expect him to say that suddenly.
I suddenly felt that it was extremely stupid to do that.
After a long time, I said very unnaturally: "No need."
"In this case," Zheng Kaiwen stood up, and his tone became extremely cold: "Then I will take my leave, Akun."
When the big bodyguard heard his name being called, he quickly opened the door and walked in.
"Mr. Zheng." I called him suddenly, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "If you really want to thank me, can you entrust our company with this year's advertising project?"
Zheng Kaiwen didn't seem to expect me to say this, the corners of his eyebrows twitched, and the corners of his mouth raised a mocking smile.
I know what he's thinking, but it doesn't matter.Anyway, he has already regarded this as a deal, so I might as well place a bigger stake.
He walked back towards me, but I dared not raise my head to look at him.
"Miss Liang Luoxin," he bent down slightly, and said to me softly, "I'm sorry, I can't promise you."
For a moment, I was relieved.
I'm really afraid that he will say TVB dialogues like "Your appetite is really big" and "Your price is not worth the price". He should understand, he must understand, I have no personal interests with him, everything is just It's just business dealings.He declined, and I was relieved to have expected him to.
"I'm a businessman, and I take my business very seriously." He smiled at me and walked out of the conference room without looking back.
I raised my head, only to notice that a bunch of people had already gathered outside the office, staring at Zheng Kaiwen's leaving back with piercing eyes.Suddenly a girl ran up and pulled my arm and said, "Luo Xin, is he Zheng Kaiwen? I am more handsome than the magazines."
"What did he come to see you for?"
Someone noticed the paper package on the table.
I hastily tucked the paper bag into my arms, made a pretense and quickly returned to my seat.For some reason, my face was burning hot.
"Liang Luoxin, come in." The manager's yell saved me from my panic, and soon I was called into the office to look at her face painted like a Japanese geisha.
"I heard that Zheng Kaiwen came to see you just now?"
"Oh, yes."
"So, this cooperation..."
She deliberately prolonged her voice, as if waiting for my answer, but I couldn't answer at all.
"Sorry, he refused." As I expected, there was no superficial change on the face that had been painted too many times, but I could fully imagine the hidden waves and undercurrents.
"Liang Luoxin..." I was very afraid of being called by my full name, it was a sign of bad luck.
"I'm very disappointed in you." The manager's tone was really disappointed.
"Do you know how much money the company has invested in this project? Your monthly reimbursement alone is already five figures. You also know that the company is in a downturn now, and old employees like you have no credit for it." There is also hard work, but the company can’t always keep a batch of pioneer cattle and worship them like Guanyin.”
In an instant, I understood the lightness in her expression, so it was like this.
Before I was fired, I suddenly understood the reason why the manager wanted to fire me wholeheartedly.Not because I'm too incompetent, but because I'm already a threat to her.It turned out that during the months of her childbirth, I had threatened her status several times without knowing it.
Maybe she has waited a long time and worked hard, even harder than I waited for Jiang Yang to come back.
When I lost my job, the first thing I got was Yan Xiaonan's comfort.
"Actually, it doesn't matter. Didn't you also say that you were unhappy? She didn't fire you, so you fired her. Anyway, she fired you, and you still have a month's pension. Take it as a big vacation for yourself , How about going to Hong Kong with me? Go and relax, and then slowly find a job when you come back. I’m afraid you won’t be able to find a good job like a bone spirit.”
Yan Xiaonan patted my shoulder, as if to comfort me, but I think she was more like showing her grand career blueprint.
"Go to Hong Kong? Why?"
"I have a new commercial. I want to go to Hong Kong to shoot a location for a week. Come with me. Food and drink are all included, and you can have a lot of sponsors. Wouldn't it be great." She stood on the sofa, twisting her body , like a charming cobra.
"I'm not in the mood." I fell asleep on the sofa with my pillow in my arms, looking up at the snow-white ceiling.
I am not troubled by losing my job, let alone losing confidence in my future.I don't know why, my heart is suddenly very chaotic.It's like a tangled hemp that can't be figured out.
"Hey, Luo Xin, can you give me your Prada bag?" Yan Xiaonan grabbed my arm, trying to drag me up from the sofa.
"No, that one has to be returned to others."
"It's only more than 3 yuan. Rich people don't care about it. Since he wants to give it to you, he definitely won't take it."
"That doesn't work, I'll buy it for you again."
"You're unemployed now, and you think you're rich."
"Not at all."
I buried my head in a pile of throw pillows, dizzy.
In those few days, Yan Xiaonan didn't have to start work, so the two of us cleaned the dog's bed at home.Then I bought a bunch of cold drinks with the dozen or so dollars I spent selling old newspapers and old magazines, and sat on the sofa and ate ice cream while watching a comedy show.I completely forgot how painful it was to buy those hardcover magazines.
A few days later, I received a call from Zheng Kaiwen.
I don't know why he came to me again. Could it be that he suddenly went bankrupt and wanted me to return that Prada bag to sell?I was laughing at myself in my heart: Not everyone is like me, who can still be shamelessly optimistic when I am poor and unlucky.
We made an appointment to meet at Binjiang Avenue in the evening.
I have been watching this Huangpu River for more than [-] years, and for the first time today I feel that it is really as beautiful as it looks on TV.And it's all because of Zheng Kaiwen.If this person puts aside self-abuse, inhumanity, and strange personality, he can still be regarded as a talented person, suave and suave, and his demeanor is comparable to that of TVB's first-line male stars.
The wind of the Huangpu River blows his neat Armani, and he stands like a radiant work of art, standing in the remote corner of this riverside boulevard.
The familiar Akun walked up to him and muttered a few words.
Zheng Kaiwen turned around and looked at me, strangely.Every time he looks at me recently, he seems to have a lot to say.I don't know which sensory system of mine is the problem. In short, I think he is very preoccupied and lonely.
"You're here." He turned and looked at me, and I could only walk towards him.
"I just came to return this to you. Last time you left in a hurry and didn't take it." I handed him the paper bag and thought about it: If he was as ostentatious as the young master in the TV series, what would he say? I will take it back", then I will throw it directly into the Huangpu River.
Fortunately, he didn't. Akun came up to take the paper bag in my hand, and then retreated three meters away.
"I didn't expect you to come." He lowered his head and lit a cigarette.
To be honest, I always thought that the limited-edition zippo in his hand was a decoration. I didn't know it was a genuine zippo until it spewed out blue flames and shivered in the wind.
"Since I promised you to come, I will definitely come." I pressed my hair with one hand, and turned my face away to prevent the wind from blowing me into a white-haired witch.
He smiled, and suddenly said seriously: "I know that half of the reason why you lost your job is because of me, so I want to invite you to work in my company. On the one hand, it is my compensation, on the other hand, it is your help I'm busy, my company in Hong Kong needs help very much."
I couldn't laugh or cry for a few seconds, and then sneered: "Mr. Zheng, there is not only one advertising company in Shanghai, nor is there only one company with a marketing department. I believe it is not difficult to find a job that can make a living. To be honest, I'm really not used to being handed out."
"I know." He smiled, the sparks from the cigarette flickering on his lips. "So I also said the second reason."
"I don't know what kind of talent your company needs, but I don't think I can help you. Sorry, I have to go."
"Miss Liang, you also hope for a good development, don't you?"
"Yes." I do not deny that I have no love, and I have always longed for success in my career.
"And your friend, you also hope she can get a good development, don't you?"
He raised his eyebrows at me arrogantly and curled the corners of his mouth.
At this time, I quickly realized who the friend Zheng Kaiwen was talking about was.
"I gave your friend a chance," he said leisurely, "now she can go to Hong Kong to shoot a film and commercial, and there will be better opportunities in the future. These were originally Li Nannan's opportunities, but she didn't want them herself. I believe, you don't Will be as stupid as her. Miss Liang, you are a smart person, and you are capable. "
Is this a threat?I met the underworld?
"What if I don't agree?" Let me bargain when buying vegetables.
"Since your current company can fire you, future companies may also have this possibility. And just as you said, there is really more than one advertising company in Shanghai, nor is there only one company with a marketing department. But I don't know What are your chances of..."
"I understand." I said unwillingly: "Mr. Zheng, you are really an unscrupulous person."
He slowly exhaled a puff of smoke ring, which was quickly blown away by the wind.
"That's why I said, Miss Liang, you are a smart person."
But I feel that I am the most unlucky person, being blackmailed for no reason, why?Why does he, a handsome young man with a lot of money, want to have trouble with me?
Young and beautiful?Smart and capable?Or is it a shameless face?
"Mr. Zheng, may I ask you a question?"
Kevin Cheng looked at me, so I knew I could keep asking.
"I know that you came to Shanghai this time for your company's affairs, but why did your company ask me for help? You have known me for less than half a month, and we have only dealt with each other two or three times. Do you understand me? Are you not afraid Am I killing your company?" I just cost my ex company a 3000 million business!
"Similarly, I also ask you this question, how do you answer?" The wind blew his bangs up, and I found that his forehead was full and energetic, but his brows were always furrowed.Why is he like Jiang Yang, always likes to frown slightly like this, why...
"You have known me for less than half a month, and you have only dealt with me two or three times. Aren't you afraid that I will sell you?"
My heart couldn't help trembling slightly, his voice was as strange and distant as that person.
"I... am not afraid." I tried to smile: "If you want to do that, you won't save me."
"I'm sorry." He suddenly said in a low voice: "I caused you to lose your job, let me compensate you. Come with me to Hong Kong, although I ruined everything, I can make you start again, believe me."
restart?
Can this diamond-like new and shining word belong to me?
During the year and four months when I lost Jiang Yang, no matter how hard I tried and how busy I was, I still couldn't completely forget it, so the brand new and shining "restart" was never for me.
I have no way to refuse.
"Mr. Zheng, I... promise you."
I let go, and the chestnut curly hair cascaded up with the wind, and the world was full of my smell.
"Miss Liang is indeed a smart person." Zheng Kaiwen turned his face, smiled at me, and then looked at the feasting lights on the other side of the Huangpu River. The momentary loneliness in his eyes made my heart feel cold.
He is lonely, as lonely as Jiang Yang.
I suddenly felt that this person should not be what I saw, maybe what I saw was just a corner of his vast world.
And what the real world looks like, I don't know.
