Jiang Xiao had already contacted the other party before, and also received some design drawings and some photos of samples from the other party, and he was very satisfied.
This time, we will meet each other, talk about our requirements, and give a deposit by the way.
He hasn't told Fu Ruoyan about this yet. After all, he hasn't got the ring yet, and a marriage proposal is always a bit of a surprise. Although he and Fu Ruoyan cannot formally get married in China, there should be a sense of ceremony. .
So Jiang Xiao hid it first, and showed it to Fu Ruoyan when the time came, he must be very happy.
Although he had received the ring before, it was given by Fu Ruoyan's grandmother, and it was considered a gift from the elders. This time he prepared it by himself, which has a very different meaning.
When the two of you settle down, you can live a good life.
Jiang Xiao is a very talkative party A, he doesn't have any messy requirements, and the rings of the two men don't need to be too complicated, but the money he gave is indeed too much, and the designer of the other party also has requirements for the work. asked again.
Then he said to him: "It just so happens that I ordered a batch of diamonds with very good cut and clarity some time ago. They are very beautiful and very rare, but it will take a while before they can be delivered to China. I will send the best of them A few are left for you. Don’t worry, the finished product will not disappoint you.”
The young designer has made a lot of wedding rings, but when she saw Jiang Xiao today, she was still very envious. This is a very successful and gentle man, he is young and handsome, and more importantly, he has a sense of hope that cannot be concealed when he mentions the wedding ring.
"Congratulations, and congratulations to your lover," she said, "you must be very happy."
Jiang Xiao nodded: "Thank you."
After saying this, he seemed to be in a good mood.
The two of them made an appointment at the coffee shop, because they had communicated clearly before, and Jiang Xiao didn't hesitate to make a decision, and it was easier to pay for it. After sitting for about ten minutes, the designer got up and went back to prepare. Then work.
Jiang Xiao specially set aside an afternoon for this matter today, and he is not in a hurry to return to Lishi.
The tiramisu in this coffee shop is very famous, and the boss has been learning it for more than ten years. Jiang Xiao wanted to make it himself in his last life, but he couldn't replicate the taste.
It's been a long time since I ate it. Before the designer was there, he ordered a cup of coffee. After the other party left, he took the menu again and ordered his favorite tiramisu.
two pieces.
Jiang Xiao's love for sweets has never changed. He took a small spoon and ate slowly until someone sat across from him.
"Xiaoxiao."
It was Lin Chengyu.
"What a coincidence," he continued, "Long time no see."
Jiang Xiao paused, his appetite lost a lot at once, he put the spoon aside, leaned his back slightly against the seat, and glanced at Lin Chengyu: "Is there something wrong?"
Nor did he believe it was a coincidence.
Indeed not, Lin Chengyu had seen him for a while. He also knows whoever Jiang Xiao meets today.
He shouldn't have come, it would have been great if he could secretly look at Jiang Xiao, but that person is really special, he is a well-known jewelry designer here in Liujiang, or a wedding ring designer.
What is Jiang Xiao looking for her for? Don't think too much, he came here to get engaged.
He didn't have time to lay the groundwork, and Lin Chengyu also knew that Jiang Xiao was impatient with him, so he could only cut straight to the point.
"The current Fu Ruoyan is not suitable for you, Xiaoxiao," Lin Chengyu almost gritted his teeth and said, "You are already very tired when you are with him, I am afraid that you will..."
Jiang Xiao glanced at him, with a bit of sarcasm in his eyes: "Who is suitable for me, you don't need to judge."
Lin Chengyu didn't have the qualifications and position to tell him about this matter, he was much worse than Fu Ruoyan.
Jiang Xiao didn't want to talk any more, and didn't want to stay with Lin Chengyu, and wanted to get up and leave, but Lin Chengyu pulled him back.
"I'm not qualified to say this, but Xiaoxiao, I'm really worried about you," he touched Jiang Xiao's wrist, his fingers trembling uncontrollably, "I know, I know I can't be by your side, but, that People can't be Fu Ruoyan."
Even if he can't have Jiang Xiao, he still hopes to have someone who is truly worthy and cherish Jiang Xiao, not the current Fu Ruoyan who is pushing forward.
Such a complicated person will hurt him sooner or later.
Is it too late now
Jiang Xiao is already deciding on a ring for Fu Ruoyan.
That's a wedding ring.
Lin Chengyu didn't want it before, but now it's out of reach. He no longer expects such an important thing to be given to him, but he also doesn't want it to become like this. Even though he can think that his efforts to stop it will be futile, he still wants to say it.
"Xiaoxiao, I really, just want you to be happy, you don't have to wrong yourself, really..."
Jiang Xiao obviously couldn't listen now: "Let go."
As soon as he pushed back, Lin Chengyu let go, and he held Jiang Xiao's wrist very lightly, as if he didn't have the confidence to hold him tightly.
Jiang Xiao was about to leave, but Lin Chengyu got up first.
"...I'll go, you stay," he pulled Jiang Xiao back to his seat, "I'm sorry, I was the one to bother you today, I'll go."
He had finished what he was supposed to say. In fact, he had a lot of things to say in his head when he walked over, but seeing Jiang Xiao's attitude of leaving anytime and anywhere, he didn't need to speak more.
He didn't eat much of the two pieces of tiramisu ordered by Jiang Xiao on the table, so he dug a little. He looked very happy today, eating a little cake, and accidentally rubbed the corner of his mouth. Lin Chengyu saw it and subconsciously He wanted to wipe it off for him, but he raised his hand, and when it was close to Jiang Xiao's cheek, he put it back in embarrassment.
... Forget it, he really has no qualifications now.
He smiled wryly, and couldn't help but look at Jiang Xiao again, thinking that he should have gotten used to it, but the feeling of jealousy, remorse and pain would never disappear.
After Lin Chengyu left, Jiang Xiao sat there and sighed, feeling a little complicated.
It was a weekday afternoon, and there was no one in the coffee shop, so he rested his chin, thinking about some messy things, picked up the spoon again, and finished the two long-lost pieces of tiramisu.
Jiang Xiao was somewhat impulsive when he decided on the ring, and Jiang Xiao couldn't tell. He seemed to have found another escape route through this, so as to maintain his current emotional life.
But is it appropriate...
After Lin Chengyu's words, Jiang Xiao was not sure again.
He wasn't influenced by him, it just seemed that something hidden had been broken.
When he came home at night, when Jiang Xiao, who was wandering away from the sky, opened the door, Fu Ruoyan stood there, scaring him.
"Where did you go?" He looked at Jiang Xiao with a smile on his face, "Why did you come back so late?"
The matter of the engagement ring has to be kept from him, Jiang Xiao thought for a while, and said: "I'm going to Liujiang, the construction site, busy with work."
When Fu Ruoyan heard this answer, the smile on his face became deeper, but if he looked carefully, he would find it strange, as if it had some other meaning faintly.
"I've been tired all day, Xiaoxiao and I have something to eat together."
Those two pieces of tiramisu were boring, Jiang Xiao was already full, so she shook her head.
"Don't eat it, I've eaten it. Ruoyan eat it by himself, I still have something to do."
On the way back, the secretary sent him some documents, but he hadn't had time to read them yet.
Infinity's business is also complicated this year, and there are a lot of things. Before Jiang Xiao handed over some power to his subordinates, he was much more relaxed and couldn't control many things.
But seeing that the end of the year is approaching, the preparations for this year's New Year's Festival are already underway. With the foundation and achievements of the previous two years, today is going to be a special event. Jiang Xiao's focus is mostly on this aspect. He can't care about the rest.
Fu Ruoyan didn't hold him back either, and nodded in agreement. Looking at his back as he went to the study, the smile on his face disappeared instantly.
Jiang Xiao lied, he thought.
Jiang Xiao didn't know what Fu Ruoyan was thinking, the matter of the engagement ring had been kept secret all along, the batch of diamonds ordered by the designer had to wait, she was also very meticulous, and the time was relatively long.
Jiang Xiao knew her habits and was not in a hurry. He figured that when the New Year's Day was over, it would be suitable during the Spring Festival or when he was waiting for his birthday and the Lantern Festival.
But he didn't expect that before that time, Fu Ruoyan gave him a big surprise—just before the New Year's Day, Jiang Xiao suddenly received a document from the Lishi Chamber of Commerce.
Just looking at the content of the file is indeed a good thing.
This is a key enterprise support plan specially issued by Li City at the end of this year. It is led by local chambers of commerce and government departments. The purpose is to provide broader development channels for large enterprises with potential. Various conditions are very rich and impressive. in column.
But this is to include unlimited in the name of Lishi, and the planned time limit is five years.
This is inconsistent with Jiang Xiao's plan for the company.
He originally planned to move his business to Liujiang when the building was completed next year.
Lishi is indeed a very good city, but considering the operating costs and future development, as well as Jiang Xiao's own reasons, he knows Liujiang better. That high-tech development zone later ushered in a national-level information experiment center and a branch campus of a well-known university. Many supporting facilities are also very suitable for e-commerce companies like Unlimited. When Jiang Xiao does business, he must consider the overall interests.
Jiang Xiao didn't want to offend the chamber of commerce in Lishi when he wanted to move away. He had already communicated with the provincial side, and he couldn't move out of this province anyway.
Moreover, Infinity is a platform company, and has cooperated with many brands in Lishi. It has also spent a lot of effort in supporting the local factory brands in Lishi. Many small factories invested by Infinity are still in Lishi, and these will not be moved. of.
But when this document came out, it was a complete surprise. If he really enjoyed this bonus on behalf of Lishi, Jiang Xiao would only know that he was not a human being inside and out, and the documents had already been issued, so it would not be so easy to quit.
He thought it was because the local Chamber of Commerce didn't want him to leave. After all, a company with great development potential like Unlimited is indeed of profound significance to a region and brings more benefits, so he resorted to all means to keep him, but After contacting, the other party was also very puzzled.
"It's the application materials submitted by Unlimited." The other party said, "Mr. Jiang, this is a good thing. No one else wants it. I spent a lot of effort on this."
Jiang Xiao was so surprised in his heart, he didn't show it on his face, and brought the topic to the past with a few words, and didn't say anything more.
It seems that he has indeed handed over too many things this year. Later, he called the vice presidents below to try to figure it out, and only then did he barely know the ins and outs of the matter.
Several managers also tried to shirk each other, but under Jiang Xiao's pressure, one person came out to take the blame, saying that he didn't figure it out at the time, and the chamber of commerce also said that it was just a regular business support. , It is said to be infinitely proactive, and it is impossible to study how to communicate at that time, and it became Rashomon.
This matter has already happened, and it is useless for Jiang Xiao to get angry. Finding a way to solve it is the main thing. At the same time, this matter cannot affect the most important New Year's Day at the end of the year.
When it comes to the relationship with the local government and the Chamber of Commerce, Jiang Xiao does business, and neither side wants to offend, so he has to be tactful.
Everyone from Liujiang called to ask questions, but what they said was that they were afraid that Jiang Xiao would go back on what he said.
"Infinity will move to Liujiang in 2014, and I'm building all the buildings," Jiang Xiao said, with a polite and normal tone, "What I said will be fulfilled, please rest assured, Infinity has its own plan."
No matter how chaotic it is at this time, you have to stay calm externally.
Jiang Xiao first focused on the matter in front of him, expelled those who should be expelled, dealt with what should be dealt with, and appeased what should be appeased. Before the New Year's Day, he should not make it too big, so as not to panic everyone who has nothing to do with it.
Fortunately, this matter is not considered urgent, and Jiang Xiao can still have time to deal with it and mediate. After communication, it is not impossible to solve it.
Decentralization is indeed the only way to go. Although this matter stumbled, Jiang Xiao was reminded at the right time that sometimes he delegated power too much.
Everything has to be measured. Maybe it's because Jiang Xiao's personal love life is not very smooth this year, and he didn't spend a lot of time on work, which led to such a big oolong.
Jiang Xiao has always corrected mistakes when he knows his mistakes. He still has dignity in the company. Even if some people refuse to tell the truth about this matter and want to deceive others, he can still find out what is wrong and slowly approach the truth behind it. .
Infinity is the company he founded alone, even if he didn't notice it for a while, no one knows it better than Jiang Xiao.
From the outside, it seems to be peaceful.
On the New Year's Day, Jiang Xiao must stay in the company and work overtime. Fu Ruoyan also knows that he has been busy recently. He has been very gentle in recent months, strangely gentle, and he doesn't say that Jiang Xiao is busy, nor lose his temper.
After a few days of the New Year's Festival, Jiang Xiao deliberately went home early that day. He ordered the best ingredients and delivered them to Fu Ruoyan's house. They were all Fu Ruoyan's favorites. He cooked a big meal slowly, and then waited for her. return.
He turned off the lights and lit candles, and even bought a bouquet of roses for a candlelit dinner.
When Fu Ruoyan came home from work, he was very pleasantly surprised to see such a scene. Jiang Xiao was already sitting on the chair. When he saw him coming back, he smiled slightly, and motioned him to sit down.
"Why is Xiaoxiao thinking about doing this today?"
Fu Ruoyan also sat down. Under the candlelight, he looked the same as when he first met him. He was still young and radiant, which made people fall in love at first sight.
But Jiang Xiao understood that it had changed after all.
"I remember when I first came to your house, you prepared such a meal, I still remember it, so I made it today," Jiang Xiao said, with a faint smile on his face, "There is a beginning and an end, Ruoyan, the last After this meal, let's separate for a while."
Fu Ruoyan just picked up the wine glass, but when he heard this, the wine glass fell to the ground with a "bang" and broke.
"...Xiaoxiao?"
"When did you install people infinitely? I have recruited too many people in the past two years, I was careless," Jiang Xiao continued, his tone still sounded gentle, "Ruoyan, I don't understand, you just Don't you want me to go to Liujiang? Even if you use this method, keep it from me, don't say hello to me, and make your own way, what are you doing?"
Fu Ruoyan instantly realized what he was talking about: "Xiaoxiao, I never thought of harming you."
That support policy is really beneficial to Infinity everywhere.
"You never thought of harming me," Jiang Xiao said, "You just want to control me, control... the whole me."
Having said this to this extent, Fu Ruoyan couldn't refute, but he didn't panic anymore.
"Why did I do this?" He stared at Jiang Xiao, "Xiaoxiao, I'm not the only one who can deceive people. You went to Liujiang, you obviously met Lin Chengyu, and you still tricked me into going to the construction site, you..."
He still remembers the photo taken by the private investigator, Lin Chengyu was holding Jiang Xiao's hand, looking very intimate.
Jiang Xiao never lied before, but he lied that time.
"I can't let you go," Fu Ruoyan said, even though he tried hard to suppress it, his voice couldn't help shaking, "I just want you to stay."
Besides, Lin Chengyu did it, and Lin Chengyu secretly intervened in infinite business affairs. He is a serious lover, why can't he do it
He was also doing it for the good of Jiang Xiao and Wu Wu, so why not stay in Lishi? He even thought that Jiang Xiao would transfer to Shencheng next, which was the headquarters of the Fu family, and most of the benefits would be given to Jiang Xiao, so he couldn't go to Liujiang anyway.
Since hearing what Ye Yingying said, Fu Ruoyan had already started to do this, and many things that happened later strengthened his determination and asked someone to hand over the materials.
Many things have been done, and there is really no turning back.
When he mentioned that matter, Jiang Xiao was stunned for a while, and after thinking about it carefully, he realized what he was referring to.
"... Do you think I was looking for Lin Chengyu that time? What do you think I was looking for him?" Jiang Xiao sighed, "Fu Ruoyan, you found someone to watch me, but you didn't see everything. Since you have doubts, why don't you just ask me ? Do you know what I am going to do?"
Jiang Xiao turned on his phone and showed him the physical picture of the ring he received not long ago.
"Now let me make it clear that when I went to Liujiang, I was looking for another person, but I happened to meet Lin Chengyu. I didn't want to tell you, but I planned to give you a surprise." Jiang Xiao looked at him, "The people before Lin Chengyu, That was the jewelry designer I had a special appointment with, and I told her that I wanted to order a pair of men's wedding rings.
Ruoyan, the ring is almost ready, it's very beautiful. However, we are not suitable, I was wrong, let's separate. "
What he said was quite decisive.
This is Jiang Xiao, when he was tolerant and tolerant, his temper was the only softness in the world, but now when he sees everything clearly and makes a decision, he is extremely calm and no one can pull him back.
The uncomfortable and unbelievable time has passed, Jiang Xiao has lived for so long, after several loves, breaking up is not an unacceptable thing for him.
It's not that he didn't give a chance, it's not that he didn't try to make it up, but it's really not suitable, so let's separate, so we can get together and break up.
