Outside the door of Room 1619.
After a long period of rest—
Until the end, Lu Zheng couldn't wait for her response, he finally raised his head, his eyes were drunk, but his heart couldn't be clearer, so he just smiled slightly: "I overstepped the distance, I'm sorry, Mrs. Jiang."
sorry…
Mrs. Jiang...
The shape and appearance of this man at this moment are all revealing a touch of loneliness. Yan Liang's fist hanging on the side of his leg slowly let go, struggling and hesitating to raise his hand, as if to reach out for him Soothe the lingering loneliness.
But the moment her fingertips were about to touch his cheek, she abruptly withdrew her hand.
In the end, Yanliang just gently pushed his shoulder away, and smiled back: "Mr. Lu, you are drunk, have a good rest tonight, I won't disturb you, goodbye."
Her smile was alienated and cleared the boundaries. Lu Zheng naturally understood it. He couldn't bear to force it, and the self-esteem and self-control created by his natural superiority didn't allow him to force it. After hesitating for a moment, he took a step back cooperatively.
But no matter how deep the self-control is, it can't match the heart-wrenching reluctance that was about to overwhelm him when he watched her turn around, step by step, and leave without any hesitation...
I don't know how long it took before Lu Zheng came back to his senses, and turned his head to look at the empty corridor. The reality of this scene brutally broke the last extravagant hope, Lu Zheng opened the door and entered the house. Close the door, and the darkness of any room engulfs him.
The sound of closing the door echoed in the corridor for a short time, and soon returned to calm. In the silence of the place, the door of room 1620 opened silently, and the man who walked out of the room looked at the closed door of the suite next door with serious eyes.
She finally did it...
Jiang Yunan withdrew his gaze expressionlessly, and turned his head expressionlessly, until he stepped into the elevator, and there was also a face without any ups and downs reflected on the shining elevator wall.
Until his cell phone rang in the elevator.
Jiang Yunan looked down at the screen and picked it up. Aunt Liang's voice came from the receiver: "Mr. Jiang, the Second Miss has to leave for a while because of something urgent. Please drive carefully and don't rush over here."
"OK."
After Jiang Yunan finished speaking, he hung up, and the surrounding fell into silence again. But the elevator was quiet again for less than three seconds, and suddenly there was a loud "bang"——
The mobile phone was resolutely smashed against the elevator wall by its owner, and it was instantly torn apart.
The elevator reached the first floor with a "ding" sound, and Jiang Yunan stepped on the scattered mobile phone parts and walked out of the elevator door expressionlessly.
This is the second time in Yan Liang's life that he wandered around the city.
The first time seemed to be the year when she was tenth birthday. She wanted to go out with her classmates and friends, but her mother flatly refused, saying that her family was celebrating her birthday at home. Unfortunately, Xu Ziqing lied about being ill and was admitted to the hospital that night. Everyone was anxious She hurried to the hospital, leaving her alone at home, full of resentment and anger, and ran away from home with a cake box half as tall as her, wandering outside. Eventually, she was too tired to walk, and when she fell to the ground, the cake was not spared.
At that time, the cat hidden in the cardboard box in the corner in the cold night walked up to the fallen Yanliang tremblingly, looked timidly at her with tears in her eyes but refused to let the tears flow down, and then carefully licked it off the ground of cream.
This time, what greeted her was no longer the vigilant and pitiful eyes of the stray animals——
The moment Yanliang pushed open the door, a familiar voice came from the living room: "Where did you go, you came back so late?"
Not a single light in the room was turned on, and Yan Liang searched for the source of the sound after searching for a long time in the darkness.
"Something happened to Zhou Cheng," she said to Jiang Yunan who was sitting on the sofa, there was no need to pretend an apologetic smile in the dark, "I'll go and deal with it."
Hearing the sound, he seemed to stand up from the sofa, and walked towards her at the entrance without haste wearing leather shoes: "Why is the phone turned off?"
Jiang Yunan stood in front of her, but she could only see his eyes that were still shining in the dark, which made her stunned before remembering to take out the phone from her bag and fiddle with it for a while: "Call me Already? Why didn’t I receive it?”
Then he clearly raised the phone to signal him to look at it: "It's out of battery, no wonder..."
Yan Liang vaguely saw him smiling, and his originally expressionless face became much softer because of this smile: "It's okay, anyway, I went to the bridal shop to pick out one, but I didn't see anything I liked. Do you have a wedding dress designer that you like? I have people make appointments with designers to order."
Yanliang breathed a sigh of relief, bent over to change his slippers, only to see the leather shoes on his feet, and raised his head in doubt: "You just came back too? You didn't even change your shoes."
Only then did Jiang Yunan realize, and he only said, "I was thinking about something just now, and I forgot..."
After speaking, he leaned towards Yanliang slightly, as if he wanted to take off the shoes on the shoe shelf behind her, but in the next second, he bent his arms and put his arm around her waist, as if to kiss her.
This action made Yanliang take a step back subconsciously, but he hugged him back in an instant, and the tight kisses were slightly messy on the corners of her lips, chin, and neck, almost cruising downward as she subconsciously leaned back. clavicle. Yanliang had no choice but to forcefully push his shoulder away to stop him: "Go to bed early, there will be a regular meeting of the board of directors tomorrow Monday."
After Jiang Yunan's movements paused for a moment, he lowered his head again, as if he wanted to continue plundering, but he stopped in an instant. This time, Jiang Yunan let go completely, and kissed Yan Liang's brow without warmth: "Then hurry up and sleep."
After speaking, he sat on the low stool in front of the entrance and changed his shoes.
Yanliang looked at the top of his black hair, feeling a certain emotion stuck in her throat, like a choke in her throat, she closed her eyes, finally restrained herself, leaned over and kissed his head, and said lightly: "You too Go to bed early, good night."
The following day, Monday, regular board meeting.
Except for two directors who were on leave, the rest of the directors were present on time. After Xu Jinfu died, Yan Liang's mother had been acting as the chairman of the board, and in fact the highest authority had fallen into Yan Liang's hands. These elders, Yanliang knows them very well. Compared with the same and constantly bad reports, the elders are obviously more concerned about Yanliang's private affairs. The meeting time has not yet arrived, and they are all asking: "My niece, what's the matter?" Why don't you notify us elders when you get married?"
"This is a happy event. Why, are you embarrassed to say it?"
"If I hadn't come to the company today and saw so many reporters downstairs, I would still be kept in the dark..."
"When is the wedding banquet?"
"I appreciate Jiang Yunan's personal ability very much. I think he is very good as the Xu family's son-in-law, although he is better than the Lu family's..."
"Old Peng, what are you talking about?"
"Sorry, sorry, I'm getting confused, Mr. Jiang is definitely a very good son-in-law of the Xu family, absolutely..."
Yanliang perfunctory passed one by one, a little tired of coping, but fortunately the meeting started soon, in order to reduce the investment and get the funds back as soon as possible, Secret postponed the pace of expansion in North America, and the project funds of Yayan's cosmeceutical sub-brand also corresponded Reductions, and perhaps in the near future layoffs to streamline expenditures - these will need to be approved by the unanimous vote of the directors before they can be formally implemented.
In this regular meeting, Yanliang naturally brought up the suggestion of layoffs again.
I believe that the issues discussed this time have already reached Jiang Yunan's ears at this moment, this layer of window paper will be pierced sooner or later, but Yan Liang has no time to take care of these. Besides, it might be more beneficial for her if the enemy came to the open.
Her existing funds and the capital obtained from Luzheng have been put into operation, and most of the funds returned after reducing the investment will be used to increase the holdings of stocks. As long as she survives this calamity, everything will be over. Qing, hurrying up and deploying everything is the only thing she should do now.
"This layoff will start from foreign branches..."
As soon as Yan Liang said this, he was interrupted by the noise coming from outside the meeting room——
It seems to be the voice of security: "Sorry you can't go in!!!"
Yanliang immediately frowned, and glanced at the assistant at the side: "Go out and see what's going on."
After the assistant nodded, he trotted towards the door, but just as the assistant's hand touched the doorknob, the door was pushed open from the outside.
The door was pushed open without warning, and the back of the door hit the wall with a "bang" sound. The assistant subconsciously took a step back, and the voice of the security guard outside the door was heard more and more clearly into everyone who was in the meeting. In the ear: "You really can't go in!"
It was an arrogant and domineering man who walked in amidst the sound of security guards stopping him. Yan Liang only took one look, and his whole face froze in an instant.
Director Zhu, who was sitting on the seat directly opposite the door, had already stood up: "Jiang Shijun?"
Yan Liang woke up to Director Zhu's astonishment, stood up alertly, and smiled coldly: "Boss Jiang, this doesn't seem like a place you are qualified to come to."
Compared to her blushing, Jiang Shijun smiled unscrupulously. The security outside the door wanted to come in, but was immediately stopped by the bodyguards brought by Jiang Shijun.
Two bodyguards blocked the outside, and the door of the conference room was then closed from the outside.
Seeing Jiang Shijun walking towards him step by step, Yanliang pressed down on the internal line of the phone at hand, and ordered: "What does the security department do? Send people to the first meeting..."
Before she finished speaking, there was a busy tone from the receiver, Yan Liang frowned suspiciously, and saw Jiang Shijun reached out and pressed the spring of the phone, and hung up the phone for her.
"Why am I not qualified to come here?" Jiang Shijun said while walking around Yanliang, dragging the empty seat nearby, looking up, looking at Yanliang with provocative eyes, "I am now the second largest shareholder of the Xu Corporation , Miss Xu, it’s impossible for you to not know, right?”
Yan Liang was not the only one who froze because of his words——
The screen of the board of directors was switched to the electronic screen in the president's office. Jiang Yunan, who was sitting behind the desk with a remote control, said nothing, but Secretary Li, who was standing aside, froze.
Seeing that Jiang Yunan's expression did not change at all, Secretary Li was full of doubts written on the corners of his eyes and brows: "Mr. Jiang, didn't you tell me not to showdown for the time being? Didn't Mr. Jiang do this..."
Jiang Yunan waved his hand, forbidding him to continue speaking.
Secretary Li had no choice but to remain silent, while Jiang Yunan sat comfortably in the chair, holding the remote control, and looked at the woman's restrained face on the electronic screen with complicated eyes.
Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, the sunny morning has long since changed...
