Chapter 44

After reporting to Shi Yan, Qiu Fu quickly returned to the Finance Office on the eighth floor.

Zheng Shuyi was still waiting for him, sitting quietly with a cup of hot coffee.

Qiu Fu glanced at her from a distance.

In fact, Qiu Fu is a very typical workplace fool. In addition to doing his own job well, he is also very good at following the boss's face.

For example, when he sensed that Shi Yan had a personal dislike for Qin Lezhi, he raised his sword and acted immediately to prevent Qin Lezhi from appearing again.

And today's episode, he can also see that some unpleasant things may have happened between Shi Yan and Zheng Shuyi.

But he wasn't sure if it was the quarrel between the young couple or something, and after interacting with Zheng Shuyi a few times, he himself liked the young girl's work attitude, so he received her politely today.

It's just that it was inevitable that he was a little more serious than usual, and he didn't say a single off-topic word in the middle, which caused Zheng Shuyi to follow his train of thought closely throughout the whole process, leaving no room for other thoughts.

After two or three hours of interviews, Zheng Shuyi seemed to have been wrapped up in this serious atmosphere.

So when she left Mingyu Yunchuang, there was no trace of abnormality on her face.

Even when she was in the taxi, she didn't take a short break, and immediately put on her earphones to play back Qiu Fu's recording.

But Bi Ruoshan called at this time.

"My sister, have you disconnected from the Internet?" Bi Ruoshan said in a leisurely tone just after get off work, "Or our relationship has broken down, and you haven't replied to the message I sent you the day before yesterday."

"Huh?" Zheng Shuyi was stunned for a moment, "Oh, maybe I forgot."

"Okay, I accept your reason. Then you didn't reply to the news this morning. How do you explain this? I have no place in your heart at all, right?"

Zheng Shuyi looked out the car window and suddenly fell silent.

Although they hadn't met each other, Bi Ruoshan was keenly aware of Zheng Shuyi's emotional changes, and she immediately put away her sloppy tone and asked, "What's wrong with you? Are you busy recently?"

Bi Ruoshan took the initiative to open a mouth to confide, but Zheng Shuyi's emotions had been suppressed in her heart for several days, and they had settled into sand, and she no longer had the desire to confide like a mountain torrent like what happened just now.

Just retelling what happened, almost made Zheng Shuyi experience the emotions of these days all over again.

Especially when she was talking about what happened a few hours ago, she paused several times, as if she suddenly lost her ability to organize words, and she didn't know what words to use to describe the turning point of those few minutes.

Every time he recalled Shi Yan's blind eyes, Zheng Shuyi felt as if his throat was being strangled.

After listening to her quietly, Bi Ruoshan sighed.

"How could this happen... why didn't you say it earlier, alas... I don't know what to do, I can't pretend to empathize with you to comfort you, I can only say that things have already happened, alas..."

"Yeah, that's the way it is." Zheng Shuyi's voice seemed to be filled with sand, completely unlike her usual voice, "He is so proud of himself. He was born with a golden key in his mouth. How could he meet someone like me? , he must hate me now, he hates me to death."

Bi Ruoshan really didn't know what to say, so she could only spit out some useless words of comfort: "Maybe things are not as bad as you think."

"You know, he took away his niece and didn't let her stay with me anymore. He doesn't want to hear anything about me anymore."

Bi Ruoshan: "Oh, don't be too sad, maybe you can talk a lot more when you meet him."

"Where do I have the face to meet him?" Zheng Shuyi stared at the car window, fell into a deep depression, and forcibly pulled himself out, "When I think of his eyes as if he couldn't see me today, I just... I feel so uncomfortable …”

This time even Bi Ruoshan was silent.

After hearing so much from Zheng Shuyi, she finally figured it out.

Zheng Shuyi just likes Shiyan, likes him very much, that's why he is so sad.

But before Shi Yan's decisive attitude, Bi Ruoshan couldn't expose this point.

Because she knows better, letting Zheng Shuyi know that she is hated by the person she likes is pushing her into a deeper quagmire.

"It doesn't matter, you're just a man. Anyway, you've achieved your goal. Think about Yue Xingzhou and that Qin, they are suffering now. I guess they can't eat or sleep well." Bi Ruoshan said, " Don't think about it, you go home early and take a shower, order crayfish, watch variety shows, and get some sleep."

Zheng Shuyi let out a "hmm", hung up the phone, and the car was almost driving downstairs to the company.

She can't go home straight away. She doesn't want to stay alone in a quiet room, the lonely atmosphere will magnify all emotions infinitely, she has experienced this situation many times in the past few days.

Although it is a weekend, there are still many people working overtime in the company.

Everyone was not surprised to see Zheng Shuyi come back.

Several girls gathered around to eat desserts. Zheng Shuyi calmly shared a portion, then went back to his work station and turned on the computer.

After connecting to the Internet, a new email immediately appeared on the desktop.

Seeing the sender's message, Zheng Shuyi shook his head.

This email may be the only good news in recent days.

Since last year, Zheng Shuyi has been in contact with a financier in the United States.

He has three world-renowned classics and is highly respected in the industry. He is also a tenured professor of H University.

Because of this, his interview invitation is as difficult as skyrocketing.

During the past six months, Zheng Shuyi sent him a total of 17 emails, each time with different content, begging again and again.

When the seventeenth email was sent last month, Zheng Shuyi didn't even give up hope.

Unexpectedly, when she was about to give up, she finally saw the dawn.

Sudden ecstasy swept over, Zheng Shuyi was even afraid that he had misread, and silently read the text sent by the other party over and over again.

Finally, almost trembling, she replied the email.

However, she stared at the computer screen, and after she was overjoyed, her heart felt empty again.

Zheng Shuyi has always felt that she is a very persevering person. From school, no matter whether it is winter or summer, she insisted on morning reading every day for four years, and when she was working, she relentlessly fought for her own opportunities.

Later, when she met Shi Yan, no matter how indifferent his attitude was, she was like an invincible Xiaoqiang who created opportunities again and again.

But now, she was oppressed by an inexplicable sense of powerlessness.

Maybe it was the look in Shi Yan's eyes, or maybe it was his behavior of blocking WeChat, Zheng Shuyi felt that he couldn't do anything right now.

Until the turbulent sunset in the sky was engulfed by the night, Zheng Shuyi finally moved the mouse, and entered Shiyan's account number in the sender column of the email.

She thought about sending text messages, but like WeChat, she should have been blocked.

It took Zheng Shuyi more than an hour to write an email with dozens of characters.

The moment she pressed the send button, she thought, she finally said the apology she owed him.

It should be a relief.

But for some reason, she felt even more blocked in her heart.

She sat down and took a few deep breaths, then stood up holding the cup.

Before reaching the tea room, when he turned a corner, he was bumped by Xu Yuling who hurried over.

Zheng Shuyi's feet were unsteady, and he fell towards the table beside him.

The corner of the table brushed against the back of her hand and scratched a layer of skin. Zheng Shuyi supported the table and stared at the scratch on her hand.

Xu Yulingxu helped her up, "Are you okay?"

As soon as the words fell, Xu Yuling saw the big teardrops on Zheng Shuyi's face suddenly fall down.

"Hey, no, why are you crying?!"

Xu Yuling was stunned. Facing the gazes from her colleagues around her, she turned around anxiously, "I just accidentally bumped into you, and I didn't mean it!"

Zheng Shuyi raised his hand to wipe his face, but tears fell one after another like broken beads.

"Zheng Shuyi, you, you, you..."

Xu Yuling didn't know what to say all of a sudden, and was shocked by Zheng Shuyi's Oscar-like acting skills, "Are you sure about it? Acting is not how you act!"

Then he explained to his colleagues: "I just touched her lightly!"

Xu Yuling's words didn't seem to have any effect.

Instead, Zheng Shuyi gave up wiping her tears, knelt down, covered her face, and buried her head in her knees.

She is timid, she is cowardly, she just wants to protect herself selfishly.

She was afraid of the heart-wrenching feeling that Shi Yan's eyes would bring to her.

She never wanted to experience it again.

At the same time, the annual EM Financial Charity Night kicked off with warm applause.

More than a thousand industry insiders from all over the world gathered together, the room was brightly lit, and the court was full of fragrant clothes and temples.

While pushing glasses and changing glasses, everyone was chatting and laughing happily, but Shi Yan noticed a figure that suddenly flashed in the corner of his eye.

He fixed his eyes, and when everyone in front of him focused on him, his eyes followed the back of that slender woman.

She was wearing a light blue shirt, a white pencil skirt, long hair hanging down her shoulders, and she was holding a goblet. She walked to the champagne tower and sipped the wine.

This subtle movement was noticed by Guan Ji. He followed Shi Yan's gaze and looked over. After confirming, he joked, "Why, interesting? She is Fiona, EM's trader. Let me introduce you to each other?"

"No need." Shi Yan slowly looked away, looked at the rest area ahead, and said to Guan Ji, "I'll go find Uncle Guan."

When he walked over, he stretched out his hand and pulled his tie, frowning, and quickened his steps, as if he was trying to leave this place.

As for Zheng Shuyi, when he didn't meet each other a few days ago, he could still maintain his superficial calm and suppress his emotions in his heart.

But when she suddenly appeared in front of her eyes today, those undercurrents rolled in, almost drowning her reason.

But at this moment, just seeing a woman whose back looks similar to hers, Shi Yan felt restless.

Throughout the entire charity night thereafter, Shi Yan felt like a thorn hanging in his heart, and wanted to pull it out, but he couldn't find where to start.

In the middle of the night, Bo Cuiyun Bay.

The lights in the night sky outside the floor-to-ceiling windows are like beans, embellished into a continuous bead chain along the Jiangcheng Bridge.

There were a few empty wine bottles in Shi Yan's hand, and there was a strong alcohol smell on his body that could not be blown away by the cold wind, but his face was as calm as ever.

The two chandeliers above the head sway gently under the blowing of the wind, and all of them are projected into the wine glasses.

If you don't pay attention, it is easy to see a pair of smiling eyes.

Perhaps because of the alcohol, the scene in front of Shi Yan's eyes was a bit blurred.

He took out his phone and released Zheng Shuyi from the blacklist.

The original chat history is still there.

He scrolled up one by one, not many chat records, he read it for more than an hour.

He seems to be looking for something.

After he read all the information in the text message column, he finally had a clear understanding in his alcohol-drenched mind.

He was looking for signs of Zheng Shuyi's sincerity.

Even if it's just a trace.

When he was drunk, he also thought that as long as there were some clues, he could even pretend that he didn't know anything.

But the sweet words that filled the screen looked like a joke at the moment.

Shi Yan put down the phone, but raised his hand and knocked down the innocent wine bottle on the table.

In the life of meticulously taking every step after adulthood, Shi Yan seldom has these small acts of venting.

But now, it seems that there is no other solution except to vent emotions for no reason.

Glass shards splashed, and the crisp sound echoed in the empty house.

Zheng Shuyi lay quietly on Shi Yan's blacklist again.

When I looked up again, the golden sunrise had already decorated the Jiangcheng Bridge with brilliance.

There was an important email notification from abroad on the phone, Shi Yan glanced at it, his eyes flickering slightly.

In the inbox, there was a letter from Zheng Shuyi.

There is no basic email etiquette, no title, just a short text:

sorry.

I have nothing to excuse, and I dare not ask for your forgiveness.

I hope you will never meet someone like me again in your future life.

I wish you good health and success.

The emotional container that was already calm was smashed by this email.

Shi Yan read these few short lines several times, and suddenly laughed at himself.

Those so-called cuteness are all her performances to achieve her goal.

As a financial reporter, this is her true tone.

Sweet talk is a routine, but true love is clumsiness that cannot be concealed.

Shi Yan thought, if he had recognized this earlier, he would not have let himself fall to this point.

But even so, the picture of her pulling his sleeve and crying pitifully still appeared in Shi Yan's mind.

Although reason tells Shi Yan that she cannot shed tears.

But alcohol can always play a paralyzing effect here.

Shi Yan released Zheng Shuyi from the blacklist again, and edited a line:

So have you ever been sincere

After staring at Zheng Shuyi's profile picture for a long time, Shi Yan sighed and pressed the send button.

In the next second, a message pops up on the interface.

"You are not his (her) friend yet, please send a friend verification request."

During Shi Yan's 27 years of life.

For the first time, when no one was around, he swears.
