Why is Zhou Yilin so different from others before her? This has something to do with her life background.
She was an orphan in an orphanage until she was six years old. Later, she was adopted by her current adoptive parents. The adoptive parents adopted her because their biological daughter was lost when her grandmother took her out to play. Her grandmother wanted to see her before she died. When it came to their granddaughter, they went to the welfare home to adopt a girl in order to allow the old man to live in peace and stability.
They have no feelings for Zhou Yilin and will not love her as their own daughter. They will only warn her to be good and obedient, otherwise they will send her back.
Zhou Yilin knew from the moment she entered this family that her adoptive parents were waiting for the return of their biological daughter. It was impossible for them to let an unrelated person occupy the position that belonged to their biological daughter.
In order not to be abandoned, she worked very hard to show that she was well-behaved and sensible, studied seriously, and transformed from an ugly duckling into a white swan in everyone's eyes.
Her abilities were finally recognized by her adoptive father, and she successfully entered the management of the family business.
No matter how glamorous she looks on the outside, in her heart she is always the little orphan girl in the orphanage, with a bit of low self-esteem and longing for a carefree life. But she is used to showing her good and strong side in front of others, so she can only be herself when she escapes to a place where no one knows who she is, without fear of being laughed at or being criticized. Adoptive parents deny it.
Because of this, she would ask for leave every once in a while, and then hide in a place where she could find her original self and live an ordinary but comfortable life.
And this place was the orphanage where she first stayed.
She rented a bungalow near the orphanage with a small yard planted with various flowers and plants. Every day she lived here, she would go to the orphanage to do volunteer work.
Once when she was helping to tidy up the utility room of the orphanage, she stepped on a stool and hurt her foot, so she got into a wheelchair. On the first day after sitting in the wheelchair, she was going to the orphanage again. At this time, the male protagonist Ouyang Yi wanted to go to the orphanage. She shook off the pursuer and went around here. Then when she turned, she hit the wheelchair. Zhou Yilin was also knocked to the ground by the force.
That's how they met, but at that time, Zhou Yilin used her original name "Zhong Lin". Zhong was the surname of the director of the welfare home, and all the unnamed children had her surname.
In Ouyang Yi's eyes, Zhong Lin is a girl who loves to laugh very much. She has a cheerful personality and never seems to have anything to worry about. Although she is dressed in ordinary clothes and does not look very beautiful with her ponytail, he feels that It's particularly pleasing to the eye. When you stay with her, it feels like the air is fresh.
The next day he drove here again and "ran into" Zhong Lin who was going out to buy groceries in a wheelchair. He made an excuse and said that he was upset when he bumped into her yesterday, so he couldn't help but come to take a look today. Then he followed her to buy vegetables as a matter of course, and then entered her yard as a matter of course, helping her wash the vegetables and watching. She was hopping around the kitchen on one foot.
Maybe there was water splashed on the ground. She accidentally stepped on the water and slipped. Ouyang Yi, who had been watching her, immediately reacted and hugged her. Two people's eyes facing each other, physical contact, and eye collision will bring about emotional communication.
Just like that, after Ouyang Yi came here for a week, he suddenly stopped coming.
From the beginning, Zhou Yilin felt that he was clinging to her because he was greedy for novelty, so although she felt a little disappointed that he didn't come, she was not angry or sad. It happened that her foot injury was almost healed, so she returned to the company to work. .
Putting on a professional suit and cool makeup, she turned back into the unsmiling Zhou Yilin.
As soon as she got to work, she was bumped into by a reckless person. This person was An Xiaotian who came to work on her first day today.
An Xiaotian apologized quickly.
The first time Zhou Yilin saw An Xiaotian, she felt familiar, but she didn't think much about it. She just nodded coldly and reminded An Xiaotian not to be so rash next time.
Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes. When An Xiaotian first arrived, she would naturally be ostracized, and then all kinds of odd jobs were thrown to her, even those she had not been involved in. Because the colleague was busy doing her own thing, she just left this Leave the task to her and let her figure it out on her own. The first time she did it, she naturally did not do it satisfactorily. In the end, when the materials she submitted failed to pass, she was pushed out again and took the blame.
Zhou Yilin met An Xiaotian again. After knowing that the information was made by An Xiaotian, she criticized it regardless of the reason, and then ordered her to revise it immediately. If she does not revise it today, she will not come to work tomorrow.
An Xiaotian felt aggrieved, but this was the best company she had found. She didn't want to give up the job, so she could only go back to her desk dejectedly with the folder in her hand and continue working.
On the other side, Ouyang Yizheng, who had been entrusted with the important task, came with his team. He was wearing sunglasses, ripped jeans and a black jacket. He was followed by several serious-looking people in formal attire, just like a big star traveling with his bodyguard assistant. Similar.
They came to discuss cooperation with Pentagram Real Estate.
Zhou Yilin happened to be reporting work in the office of her adoptive father, Zhou Hua, the boss of the company. Then Zhou Hua's secretary knocked on the door and came in and told Zhou Hua that the client was here. Zhou Hua asked the secretary to lead the client in, and then asked Zhou Yilin to go out. .
Although Zhou Yilin is very capable, Zhou Hua never lets her participate in such a big project.
Zhou Yilin took back her folder, turned and walked towards the door.
"This way, please!" The secretary's voice just sounded outside the door.
The next moment, Zhou Yilin bumped into someone unexpectedly, and the folder in her hand also hit the ground.
"I'm sorry." Zhou Yilin was concerned about the other party's identity as a client, so she immediately lowered her head and apologized, then squatted down to pick up the documents she scattered on the ground.
The person who bumped into her was Ouyang Yi. When he saw the documents scattered on the floor, he bent down to help pick them up. In the end, their hands held the same document.
"Thank you!" Zhou Yilin subconsciously raised her head and glanced at the other person, but she didn't expect to see such a familiar face. She took a breath and adjusted her expression first.
Ouyang Yi looked over a little later. When he saw Zhou Yilin's appearance clearly, he froze. Seeing that she was about to leave, he grabbed Zhou Yilin's hand and shouted tentatively: "Linlin?" Get along. The next day, he already followed Director Zhong of the orphanage in calling her that.
Zhou Hua, who had already walked over, asked in a probing and curious tone: "Vice President Ouyang knows our Yilin?"
"Yilin?" Ouyang Yi looked at Zhou Yilin doubtfully, but did not let go of his hand.
Zhou Yilin maintained an indifferent attitude. She gently broke away from Ouyang Yi's hand, then nodded politely and said, "Hello, I am the deputy manager of the project department, Zhou Yilin."
"Zhou Yilin?" Ouyang Yi frowned. His eyes were fixed on her face through the lenses of his sunglasses, not letting go of any change in her expression. But he was disappointed. The other party looked like she didn't recognize him at all. look.
"What's wrong? Vice President Ouyang?" Zhou Hua asked.
"It's nothing. Maybe I got the wrong person." Although Ouyang Yi said this, he obviously didn't believe what he said. He didn't think there could be two people who looked so similar in the world. Although one was without makeup and the other was They wear heavy makeup, but their eyebrows, eyes, and facial features are exactly the same.
Zhou Hua saw that Ouyang Yi had been looking at Zhou Yilin, a glint flashed in his eyes, and he said with a smile: "Yilin, you have been in the project department for so long, why don't you stay and listen to the cooperation on the Pentagram Real Estate Project?" Plan, you young people have similar thinking, so you will be able to communicate better."
Zhou Yilin nodded, her expression was calm, no one could tell what she was thinking.
While the two parties were communicating, Zhou Yilin had been looking at the information on the Pentagram Real Estate project. She was not following this project before, and she did not understand the details. Now she is working hard to make up for it. As soon as she finished reading, Ouyang Yi caught her and kept asking her questions, and she answered them without being humble or condescending.
"It's really surprising that Miss Zhou has such outstanding abilities at such a young age. Miss Zhou, could you please give me a copy of your phone number?" Ouyang Yi handed the pen and paper to Zhou Yilin.
Of course Zhou Yilin couldn't refuse. She took the pen in her right hand and scribbled her name and phone number.
Ouyang Yi narrowed his eyes. He remembered that Zhong Lin was left-handed. When Zhong Lin drew, she always used her left hand to hold chopsticks.
Yilin Zhou? Zhong Lin? What a coincidence? Does she have a twin sister
With such doubts, when Ouyang Yi left, he specifically asked Zhou Yilin to see him out. Then when he was at the door, he seemed to ask accidentally: "Does Miss Zhou have any sisters?"
"Why did Vice President Ou ask that?" Zhou Yilin looked at him doubtfully.
"Miss Zhou just answers yes or no."
The expression on Zhou Yilin's face changed, as if she was a little hesitant. She lowered her eyes and said, "No." After saying that, she said, "It's better to leave than see you off." Then she turned and returned to the company.
Ouyang Yi felt that she was covering up, so he confirmed that Zhou Yilin had a twin sister named "Zhong Lin".
On the same day, Ouyang Yi went to the courtyard where Zhong Lin lived near the orphanage. When he found that no one was there, he went to the orphanage to find Director Zhong and asked Director Zhong if Zhong Lin had a twin sister. Director Zhong He just sighed and didn't answer his words.
Ouyang Yi imagined a tragic story about the separation of sisters in his mind. Dean Zhong's unwillingness to speak made him feel that there was a hidden secret in it, which aroused his curiosity even more.
He thought of Zhong Lin's simple clothes and habits, and then thought that Zhou Yilin was very particular about everything from hair to makeup to shoes, and that Zhong Lin had inconvenient legs and feet. He guessed that when the two sisters were young, the healthy ones were adopted by wealthy families. Zhong Lin, who has bad legs and feet, was adopted by an ordinary family.
So a beautiful misunderstanding occurred. (To be continued)
