Du Ruo wiped the dried tears on his face, and pushed open the corridor door wearily.
The smell of staleness came to the face.
Just as I was going up the stairs, my phone rang.
It was He Wang who called.
Du Ruo picked it up: "Hello?"
"How about it?"
"I took him to the game. But it didn't help." She rubbed her forehead hard, feeling extremely depressed. She pulled herself together, turned around and walked out of the corridor, squatting down beside a ginkgo tree.
He Wang clicked his tongue on the other end, and sighed annoyedly: "What did you all say?"
"He has been studying and researching all these years, and he is much better than he was back then. However, it seems that because he is so powerful, he can clearly see what happened back then."
"What's up?"
"As the experts of the investigation team said back then, Prime No.2's accident was because of his 'adventurous' decision. So I can't forgive myself."
Du Ruo told He Wang what Jing Ming said word by word slowly and quietly. After finishing speaking, he tentatively asked, "Do you blame him?"
He Wang was silent for a while, and said: "No." But after he finished this sentence, he didn't say anything else, and the other end was very quiet.
Du Ruo didn't know what to do, and said, "Why do you hope—"
"I still have something to do." He interrupted, "I'll hang up first."
"Why-"
The phone hangs up.
Du Ruo's heart suddenly felt chilly, and she was a little worried, not knowing what was going on over there.
But so far, nothing she has done has been of any use.
Putting down the phone, she looked up at the sky. On the night of early autumn, the night sky was clean.
Ginkgo leaves rustle in the autumn wind, and the night is already cold.
She suddenly felt endless sadness.
She tried everything to comfort him tonight, even saying I love you.
But he still didn't stop for her.
She didn't know how he was doing now, and wanted to ask, but she took out her phone, but she didn't have his number.
And even if there is, what can you say
In front of him, all she could do was pale.
For them now, apart from the entanglements and memories of the past, the reality has long been difficult. Can't get close, can't talk, can't even get to know each other.
In the past six years, there have been too many hardships and hardships, but there has never been any company, and there is nothing for both parties.
There is no advance, no retreat. What should I do
She covered her eyes in pain, feeling as if she was trapped in a whirlpool, unable to save herself.
The phone vibrated, and Huanhuan sent a voice: "Xiaocao, why haven't you come back?"
"It's downstairs."
She took a deep breath, forced herself to organize her emotions, and returned to the corridor.
Climbing up to the sixth floor, just after opening the door and entering the house, He Huanhuan ran over excitedly like a bird and hugged her arm: "Xiaocao, I want to tell you some good news."
"What's the matter?" She hadn't withdrawn from the outside affairs, and smiled reluctantly.
Huanhuan, who has always been carefree, was a little shy at this moment. After pursing his lips and smiling for a while, he whispered: "I feel that Zeng Kefan is going to propose to me."
Du Ruo was taken aback: "Really?!"
"Of course." He Huanhuan said happily, "he's been very secretive lately, he's with me, he runs away nervously whenever someone calls, and hides when he receives a text message. I thought he was going to cheat! Then I asked Qiu Yuchen to hack his phone. Go in and take a look, oh my god, he was ordering a diamond ring! Stupid man, he was still sneaking around, but I found out, right?" He Huanhuan shook his head, happy and proud.
Du Ruo said in a daze: "You hacked his phone, isn't that good?"
He Huanhuan slapped her on the forehead: "That's not the point! The point is that he proposed marriage!"
"I'm not surprised at all. You've been so sweet for the past two years, and I expected that you would finally get together. The proposal will come sooner or later." After Du Ruo finished speaking, she was worried again, "But you know now , there will be no surprises when he proposes."
"I'll pretend I don't know." He Huanhuan said with a smile.
"..." Du Ruo glanced at her lightly, then shook her head.
She changed her shoes and went into Huanhuan's room, sat on the sofa, and became stunned belatedly: "I didn't expect that you are really going to get married?"
"Not so fast, let's get engaged first. Hey, I said what happened to your reflex arc, and you just realized it now?" He Huanhuan poked her on the forehead.
She rubbed her head: "I'm not used to it, it's so fast, you're still so young."
"It's okay, I got engaged on 25, and got married on 26 and 7. It's not too early."
Du Ruo said sincerely: "I have been in the same class as Zeng Kefan for so long, and he is really nice. You both love each other deeply, and you will be very happy in the future. Huanhuan, be happy."
She was so serious, He Huanhuan was stunned for a moment, feeling a little sour in her heart for some reason: "Oh, why did you suddenly say this, making it as sad as marrying a daughter." Changing the subject, said, "And you, what are you going to do? "
"What do you mean?"
"Since Jingming returned to China, you have been absent-minded. Last time Wan Ziang asked you to go out, it was also because of his business. What do you think about him?"
Du Ruo's face became silent, and she lowered her head.
"Ask you something."
"...I don't know what he thinks."
"I didn't ask him, I asked you!"
Du Ruo hesitated for a while, opened his mouth, but still didn't say a word.
"You..." He Huanhuan hated that iron could not be made into steel, "what can you say about him, except he is handsome, high IQ, talented, and rich..."
Du Ruo looked at her silently.
"Uh, it seems that there are quite a lot of advantages." He Huanhuan patted his head irritably, and said again, "But I think Jingming's family is too rich and has a bad temper. It's okay to fall in love. If you really want to get married, there must be a lot of conflicts. Besides, I think Yi Kun also has those advantages in him, he may be a little bit less handsome, but not too much. You might as well fall in love with Yi Kun."
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Du Ruo stared, "I don't have that kind of relationship with him!"
"But why do I feel that when you were drunk that day and he sent you back, the atmosphere was a bit wrong."
"If he doesn't send me back, why don't he throw me downstairs!"
He Huanhuan wanted to say something else, seeing that Du Ruo was in a hurry, he stopped again: "All right, all right, just pretend I didn't say anything."
"Go ahead and get proposed, and leave me alone." Du Ruo hit her hard, got up and left.
…
Du Ruo felt restless when he went to work for several days.
Yi Kun turned a blind eye and didn't ask her.
Recently, the company has no major affairs to deal with. She didn't go to the office area for a few days, and spent every day in the industrial park and laboratory, and she didn't hear anything outside the window.
Until the weekend, she goes back to deal with accumulated chores. That morning, when she got out of the elevator and walked to the office area, she accidentally saw Yang Shu smoking at the end of the corridor.
Her heart skipped a beat, did he figure it out
Immediately, she looked forward to it but felt apprehensive. She strode to her office, opened the door and saw that it was empty.
No one, just the golden sunshine of late September.
Heart dropped back. The man went to the desk and sat down. Yang Shu came here probably just to discuss business.
She calmed down, turned on the computer, and was about to process the documents, when she heard the mumbling voices of several staff members outside the door. One of them is her assistant.
Du Ruo called out: "Xiao Wu."
The voice stopped, the assistant knocked on the door, poked his head out: "Vice President, are you looking for me?"
"What are you talking about outside?"
"Ah, I'm talking to Xiao Wang about the acquisition. Did I bother you?"
"Acquisition?" Du Ruo was surprised, "What acquisition?"
"You've been in the industrial park these days, haven't you heard? Mr. Yi didn't tell you? Chunhe Technology is going to acquire our company. Their bosses are here today, and they're in Mr. Yi's office now."
Du Ruo was taken aback for a moment, acquisition
Jing Ming wants to buy Yuan Qian
She dropped the documents in her hand, went out immediately, and strode across the entire office area to Yi Kun's office at the end.
I heard Yi Kun sneer inside: "Is your attitude bullying or coercing?"
Jing Ming: "It's up to you."
Yi Kun: "What if I don't agree?"
Jing Ming: "Then wait for a dead end."
Du Ruo's mind buzzed for a moment, and she felt a severe slap on the face.
With a strong hand, she suddenly pushed the door open.
The room suddenly fell silent.
Yi Kun looked at Du Ruo at the door, but Jing Ming didn't look back.
He might have guessed that it was her who broke in, and after sitting for a few seconds, he got up and put it in his pocket: "Think about it carefully." He turned and walked out.
When passing by Du Ruo, she said, "Stop."
Jingming stopped.
Du Ruo looked back at him with disappointed eyes, unbelievable: "Is it because what happened that day stimulated you? You are angry with me, why are you angry with the company?"
Jing Ming also turned to look at her: "Who is angry with you?"
Du Ruo couldn't stand his tone, and shook his head ridiculously: "Are you threatening us just now? What do you mean if you don't accept it, you will die? The acquisition is about your love and my willingness. You want to be a big monopoly enterprise. Yi Kun wants to be a self-owned brand boutique supplier, everyone has different ideas, so it is natural for him to reject you. Is it interesting for you to come here to threaten you because of your power?"
Yi Kun said: "Du Ruo, the situation—"
And Jing Ming was so excited by the "we" in her words that his brows trembled, he narrowed his eyes slightly, and laughed, "Self-operated brand? Different ideas? Stop talking about you so noblely. In the end, what he did was nothing more than It’s just to raise the price to make more money.”
Du Ruo's blood rushed to his head for a moment, and he said angrily: "So what for money? Yes, he has always been for money, but what right do you have to despise him? Some people do it for dreams, and some do it for money. Dreaming is more noble than money." ?Every penny he earns is innocent, every product he makes is excellent, and he has never been sorry for every penny he puts in his pocket. And you, what are you doing these for? Money? No , happy? Not at all. What is your goal, have you figured it out? You dare not even mention your past! You can’t even see your future clearly! Such a you, what qualifications do you have to despise? he?"
Jing Ming's expression changed, as if he had been stabbed in the heart, he stared at her for a while, and only said one sentence: "Are you protecting him?"
Du Ruo caught the flash of pain in his eyes, suddenly turned off the fire and stopped talking.
The two confronted each other.
Yi Kun said: "She is from my company, so she naturally protects me."
Jing Ming completely lost control: "Shut up!"
Yi Kun: "Get out!"
Du Ruo almost collapsed: "You two are arguing, I'll go out."
Yi Kun stretched out his hand to grab her: "You are the vice president, he should go."
Jing Ming's eyes froze, and suddenly he pulled Du Ruo with one hand, and opened their hands with the other. Du Ruo was in pain, seeing that she was about to be pulled from behind by Jing Ming, Yi Kun held her back again.
Du Ruo was instantly caught between the two, and the air-conditioning swished past.
Yi Kun sneered: "Mr. Jing, did you come to our company on purpose to harass my people?"
Jing Ming's face darkened, and suddenly he was about to rush forward to beat someone up. Shocked, Du Ruo broke away from Yi Kun's hand and stopped Jing Ming. Seeing that she couldn't resist his strength, she pushed his chest hard: "Stop making trouble!"
Jing Ming took a few steps back and stopped, looked at Du Ruo, saw her standing opposite him, and tilted his head slightly, as if he felt a little strange.
He looked at her in disbelief for a few seconds, but in the end he didn't say a word, he even smiled, straightened his crumpled clothes, turned and went out.
Du Ruo stood on the spot, thinking back to his hurt eyes just now, his heart was pierced for a moment. She closed her eyes weakly.
Doing this, isn't it...too cruel
But she was really at a loss.
