Yanliang tried a few times but failed to withdraw his hand. This man looked lazy, but he was actually very strong. Yanliang couldn't shake him no matter what, so he could only glared at each other in the end: "Let go."
But he just smiled slightly: "It's not pretty if you splash it."
"None of your business."
"You ruined my good impression of you before, why is it none of my business?"
The man spoke very sincerely, but it didn't quite match the alienated aura around him. Yanliang was at a loss for words for a moment, and could vaguely hear other footsteps approaching, she still took care of face, and couldn't help but withhold her strength of resistance, the man noticed something, and then slowly let go.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer, Yanliang raised his eyes and saw that it was Zhou Cheng, he couldn't help lowering his eyes, and clenched his teeth more tightly.
As soon as Zhou Cheng walked into the elevator room, he saw the three people who were in a stalemate. He paused slightly, as if he had a short balance, and then walked in front of them: "Mr. Jiang, I will take you downstairs."
The man looked at Zhou Cheng upon hearing this.
This seems to be the way this strange man should be, indifferent and indifferent, so that people feel a little contemptuous: "No, thank you."
As the voice fell, the elevator arrived just in time. He walked in, but stopped halfway and turned his head.
He looked at Yanliang with inexplicable dread.
"Goodbye, Miss Poultry."
Yan Liang couldn't help but gouged him out.
At this moment, Xu Ziqing looked at Yanliang and smiled so considerately: "Yanliang, don't you want to go? Give me the soup, I'll bring it in for Dad."
Yanliang gave her a cold look, turned her head and walked towards the ward.
Xu Ziqing stayed where he was, shrugging helplessly at Zhou Cheng.
Zhou Cheng also had nothing to do with Yanliang's weird personality, so he could only pat Xu Ziqing on the shoulder to comfort him, but he didn't know that Xu Ziqing had been glancing at the direction of the elevator from the corner of his eye the whole time, until the elevator door closed, and then asked Zhou Cheng: "Who is he?"
"..."
"..."
"Jiang Yunan."
Xu Ziqing was immediately stunned.
Yan Liang, who was about to turn out of the elevator hall, heard the voice behind her, and her swift footsteps also stopped abruptly.
Jiang Yunan...
He turned out to be Jiang Yunan.
Yan Liang is no stranger to this name.
When Jiang Yunan worked as the Asia-Pacific manager of an international brand before, he had a good time. Within three years, the regional performance doubled, and the sub-line brand created specifically for Asian skin types was very popular and became another cash cow for the head office.
The old man intends to poach him to be the CEO
Yan's mother heard the news very quickly, and when she was having dinner at home that night, she anxiously asked Yanliang about the details at this time.
Yanliang buried her head in her meal, unwilling to raise her head, she just said vaguely: "I only know that he went to the hospital to visit the old man on purpose today, I don't know anything else."
Mother Yan couldn't eat anymore: "If this is the case, then how can you beat him?"
"It's a good decision for the future of the company. I think it's fine."
Yanliang's attitude made Yanmu immediately put the chopsticks on the table forcefully, and there was a very loud "pop".
"What's your attitude? Why are you not in a hurry when your father empties your vested interests?"
Yanliang lowered her head and pouted, Mingli didn't dare to refute.
Mother Yan saw that she had said so much earnestly, but her daughter didn't seem to care at all, so she could only urge her: "Anyway, I will ask Uncle Chen to take you to the extraordinary shareholders' meeting next Monday. You must object this resolution."
"..."
"Did you hear me?"
A pair of eagle-like sharp eyes appeared in Yanliang's mind for no reason. She tried her best to shake off the image, put down her chopsticks and stood up: "I'm full."
Yanliang took part in the shareholder meeting in a few days with this complicated mood.
For the old man's decision, the shareholders quarreled fiercely, some were in favor, and more were against, fearing that Jiang Yunan's appearance would break the family system within the company and ruin their own vested interests.
Some people are still waiting and watching: "Jiang Yunan hasn't agreed to Mr. Xu's invitation yet, it's too early to say anything."
Uncle Chen has always been a firm opponent. This time, the shareholder meeting is actually a private gathering of shareholders who are opposed to discussing how to prevent this from happening.
Uncle Chen happened to direct his opinion to Yan Liang and asked, "Yan Liang, what do you think?"
The old officials of the company all grew up watching Yanliang, and they always regarded her as the most orthodox candidate to inherit the company, so they all looked at Yanliang for a while.
Caught between her own wishes and those of her mother, Yanliang is in a dilemma: "I..."
Before the words were finished, the door of the meeting room suddenly opened—
The sound of the door opening made everyone in the room turn their heads suspiciously.
I saw Xu Ziqing walking in pushing a wheelchair, and sitting in the wheelchair was Xu Jinfu who looked pretty good.
Yanliang was also very surprised, stood up: "Dad."
Xu Ziqing pushed the wheelchair to the chairman's seat, Xu Jinfu looked around and spoke slowly: "Are you surprised to see me appear?"
Xu Jinfu is a little slurred now, but his consciousness seems to be very clear.
Shareholders have different expressions at the moment, each with their own ghosts, but no one dares to speak out.
Xu Jinfu's eyes patrolled the conference table for a round, and finally fixed on Yanliang with extreme disappointment: "I'm not dead yet, you can hold a shareholders' meeting without telling me. When the day I really die, how can I die?" Isn't my company going to be divided up by you?"
Even though Xu Jinfu experienced a serious illness, he was still very shocked, and everyone turned pale when they heard it. I heard Xu Jinfu say: "The meeting is over, you can all go." Several shareholders present looked at each other in blank dismay, got up with their things, and left in disgrace.
Yanliang just got up, before leaving his seat, he heard his father add: "Yanliang, you stay."
Finally, only Yanliang, Xu Jinfu, and Xu Ziqing were left in the conference room.
"You have let me down too much."
Yanliang glanced at Xu Ziqing who was standing behind his father, and then saw his father's disdain towards him, he was both helpless and angry: "I didn't intend to participate at all..."
But Xu Ziqing interrupted Yan Liang at this moment: "Just say one thing less, don't make Dad angry anymore."
After saying this, he still didn't give Yanliang a chance to speak, and poured a glass of water for Xu Jinfu and put it on the table in a blink of an eye, as if to calm his anger: "Dad, don't be angry, Yanliang is still young, I guess he was teased by the uncles a few times." In other words, I am afraid that my own interests will be damaged..."
Obviously, Xu Ziqing's words backfired—
Xu Jinfu waved his arm and knocked over the water glass in a daze.
The scalding water was splashed all over the body immediately.
It was the first time that Yanliang admired her half-sister so much that she actually prepared this cup of boiling water for her in advance...
"Young is no excuse! Why can't you learn from your sister..."
Yan Liang looked down at herself, the white clothes were half soaked with water. She was surprised by herself, but she could still laugh: "You always punish me without listening to my explanation, I'm used to it."
Turn around and leave after speaking.
When she walked out of the conference room, she could feel that everyone around her was watching, watching her embarrassment.
Yan Liang caressed her forehead and quickly walked towards the elevator, the water was so cold that it soaked through the skirt of her clothes, scalding hot. But her heart was getting colder and colder, so cold that she couldn't breathe.
You have let me down too much…
Xu Jinfu's words echoed in his ears, and he raised his head coldly.
As soon as she raised her head, the people who had stopped to watch the excitement around her were smashed, and they all averted their eyes.
At this time, her arms were red with heat, her clothes and pants were wet, and her underwear was clearly visible... Yan Liang was suddenly enveloped by a strong sense of helplessness, and she didn't know what to do.
Yan Liang was nailed in place like this.
The excitement around her made her even smaller.
Yeah, where should she go.
Suddenly, there was a heavy weight on the shoulder.
something draped over her shoulders—
Yanliang suddenly woke up, and looked down: she was actually covered with a suit.
Before she could raise her head, she put one hand on her other shoulder, hugged her tightly, passed everyone's gaze, and walked into the elevator.
The elevator descends gently.
There is only an elevator for two people.
Yan Liang turned her head to look, the radiant elevator wall reflected the resolute side face of the man beside her.
"Jiang, Yu, Nan?"
Hearing this, the man turned his head and looked back.
His smile was faint, but it was directly reflected in Yan Liang's eyes.
He looked at her so calmly and determinedly: "Since you already know my name, should you tell me your name?"
Yanliang silently looked at the person who rescued her today, who was also the person who caused these disasters, and for a moment didn't know whether he should answer or not.
After hesitating for a long time, she said, "Yan Liang."
At the same time as the words fell, the man looked at her face seriously, Yanliang was very uncomfortable to see, but he suddenly raised his eyebrows with a half-smile: "So it's the hot-tempered second lady of the Xu family."
This person's expression made one want to grind one's teeth, Yanliang let out a "heh", like a cold snort and a wry smile, she looked down at herself, "Look at my frustrating look, it's obvious that I've been bullied It's on the top of your head, how can it be that you have a hot temper?"
This woman's self-mockery made Jiang Yunan narrow his eyes and look at her inquisitively: "But I can't see that you are sad at all."
"It's not time to be sad yet."
The elevator arrived at the underground parking lot with a "ding". Yanliang took a deep breath, took off the suit and returned it to him: "You should come to our company to discuss something serious, so I won't bother you."
After speaking, we will get out of the elevator.
But at this moment, a hand clasped her shoulder from behind.
Yanliang turned her head and saw him patting the red mark on her arm with his chin: "You need to go to the hospital."
Yanliang smiled: "I still can't tell whether you are an enemy or a friend, so you must be too. So, so far, you don't have to bother trying to win me over."
Hearing what she said, Jiang Yunan suddenly frowned, but soon the brows relaxed, and the usual light smile resumed: "It's instinct for a man to be courteous to a beautiful woman, Miss Yan, don't be so unconfident in yourself."
Yan Liang admired him for being able to put out a teasing sentence so tactfully, but she had no time to retaliate, the elevator door had already closed, and the man with a lazy expression and sharp eyes disappeared behind the door.
Yanliang looked at his watch, it was about 10 o'clock.
Her car was parked not far away, Yan Liang found her car and squatted down against the body. She was thinking about what to do next when, unfortunately, her phone rang.
Looking at the number, it was Xu Ziqing calling. Yanliang was about to hang up, but changed her mind halfway and pressed the answer button.
"Yanliang, where are you now?"
Xu Ziqing's words were full of concern, and maybe he made this condolence call in front of Xu Jinfu, Yanliang listened to her in silence and continued: "I'll let the driver take you home, and I'll take care of the rest, so don't give birth to a father." Angry, okay?"
"Xu Ziqing." Yanliang interrupted her coldly.
Both ends of the phone were silent for a moment, then Yan Liang smiled and said: "You are not the only one who can pretend to be pitiful."
Before Xu Ziqing could respond, she hung up the phone. In the next second, Zhou Cheng's surprised voice sounded not far away: "Yanliang?!
Yan Liang turned her head to see that Zhou Cheng was standing in front of her car.
"Why are you squatting here?" Zhou Cheng was puzzled.
Yanliang shook her head and said in a low voice: "It's okay..."
Seeing her squatting there for a long time, Zhou Cheng stepped forward to pull her up, and immediately saw the water stains on her clothes and the redness and swelling on her arms: "What's going on?"
Only then did Yanliang smile with tears in his eyes: "It's really fine."
Zhou Cheng seemed to be really angry, his side face was tense, he couldn't help but pull her up and turned around and walked towards his car: "I'll take you to the hospital."
"Don't you go to work at 10 o'clock?"
"If you're like this, how can I be in the mood to go to work?"
Only then did Yanliang obey, and followed him into the car.
Zhou Cheng started the car, held the steering wheel with one hand, and gave her a tissue with the other: "You really scared me."
"how?"
"I haven't seen you cry for at least ten years. Tell me, what's the matter?"
Yan Liang didn't go back to the mansion that day, and planned to stay in her small apartment for one night. But an unexpected guest was ushered in.
Seeing Xu Ziqing standing outside through the peephole on the door, Yan Liang thought for a moment, and opened the door anyway.
Xu Ziqing looked at the burn ointment on her arm, and then at the red wine glass in her hand: "It's quite romantic, I hid here and poured it myself."
Yan Liang didn't bother to talk to her.
"Would you like me to come in and have a seat?"
Yanliang took a sip of wine, blocked the door and did not take half a step back, Gou Yigou smiled indistinctly: "I just asked my aunt to clean the house, I don't want dirty things to enter the door, I have something to say outside the door."
Xu Ziqing's face turned pale.
"Okay, then I'll just say it straight, anyway, I'm not here to catch up with you." Xu Ziqing took a deep breath, Yan Liang rarely saw her in such a difficult state, and heard her say: "What did you tell Zhou Cheng?" What, he actually ran to dad to intercede for you, you must know that dad originally planned to let you go to the branch office to change your temper first and then transfer back."
Yanliang really laughed this time: "What? Miss Xu, is she worried that her status will be lost?"
Xu Ziqing gritted his teeth, let go of them again, and adjusted his expression before continuing: "I know that I will inevitably be humiliated by you when I come here. Do you think I care about the little verbal harm you have done to me?"
Yanliang quietly admired her forbearance, and then slowly answered: "I just suddenly found that men like you very much, so of course I have to learn from you."
"What are you talking about..."
Yan Liang didn't have time to chat with her anymore, so he cut her off and said by himself: "Go slowly. I won't see you off."
The next second, the door slammed shut. He walked back to his room slowly, and continued to read documents while drinking.
The information Zhou Cheng gave her spanned a total of five quarters this year and last year. Xu’s poor management has been going on for quite a long time. Abandoned, the market response of the new products developed in the past two years has been mediocre, and spending money blindly to develop new products like this will only make the situation worse.
There is a lot of information, and the small bar is full. She provoked her father today, and she probably won't be able to go to the company for a few days. She just hid in this small world to check the information, and then went to the various counters in the city to check the situation during the day.
Yan Liang, who stayed up until three o'clock, did not expect that her father's secretary would call and wake her up early the next morning: "Second Miss, your father asked you to come to work in the company today."
Yan Liang rubbed her sleepy eyes, thought for a moment that she had heard wrong, so she had to repeat: "Secretary Liu, you mean...today?"
"Yes, your father has arranged for you a formal position. Be on time at 9 o'clock."
Yanliang groped to get out of bed with question marks, and glanced at the alarm clock beside the bed—8:30!
This time he was completely awake, and ran to wash his hands barefoot.
But no matter how fast she was, she was still late.
Yan Liang arrived at the company at 5 minutes past 10, and when she reached the top floor of the company, Secretary Liu had already been waiting for her for a long time, "Go in quickly."
Yanliang tidied up his collar and entered the CEO's room in the direction pointed by Secretary Liu.
Before entering the door, she froze—
Secretary Liu followed her and saw her stop at the door, so she had to urge: "Why don't you go in? I've been waiting for you for a long time."
Yan Liang's eyes were glued to the nameplate on the door: "When did this brand change?"
"The new CEO agreed to your father's invitation yesterday, and we immediately asked someone to rearrange the place."
Yan Liang seemed to understand something, but she seemed even more confused: "Then..."
Secretary Liu couldn't wait any longer and opened the door for her.
Yanliang immediately saw a silhouette standing behind the door through the crack of the door.
The silhouette heard the movement and was clearly about to turn around. Yanliang couldn't believe it: "Then what do you want me to do?"
"The CEO is newly appointed, and there is a lack of an assistant."
Secretary Liu's words made Yan Liang speechless for an instant.
