Six years later.
G City, CBD center, in a hotel on the highest building, a group of people were well-dressed, with drunken expressions, and they raised their glasses to the man sitting upright in the middle. The man was dressed in casual clothes, but his temperament was particularly extraordinary. The tiger eyes under his sharp eyebrows are scorching. Under the upright bridge of his nose is a clean shaven beard, still leaving a faint stubble. His slightly pursed lips look very calm and calm, and his straight chin Raised slightly, it seems to be closed but not closed. He smiled at everyone's toast and drank it down in one gulp.
"Mr. Zhao Hailiang" has a young beauty with beautiful eyes and frequent glances.
The Mr. Zhao in her mouth just smiled faintly, and the Lafite in the cup went into her throat.
"Mr. Zhao is so generous." The beautiful woman immediately poured him another glass. The man tapped his hand on the table to express his gratitude in the local etiquette.
After a banquet, everyone staggered back and forth. The beauty said that she wanted to take Mr. Zhao home. Mr. Zhao pointed to the car with double flashes not far away and laughed and said that the family has a strict hen-wife rule.
The beauty whispered: "Who doesn't know that your secretary is just a cover for you to block our attack? I don't believe there are people I can't take down."
Mr. Zhao held her shoulder and whispered: "Little girl, I want to give you a piece of advice. Men in the business world cannot be trusted."
The beauty twisted her slender waist, tilted her head to one side, and pulled Mr. Zhao to the Land Rover charmingly. She tapped the window and said, "Hey, Shu Xiaoman, I will compete for the president's secretary in the future, so be careful." oh"
Shu Xiaoman rolled down the window and smiled sweetly: "You are at least the tenth person who said so." After getting out of the car, he gave Mr. Zhao a soft hand and asked him to get in the car. It started immediately, and the car's exhaust sprayed all over the beauty. Shu Xiaoman saw the girl's embarrassed look from the rear view window and smiled very happily.
"You are naughty again." Mr. Zhao said with a smile.
"Isn't he just a general manager assistant under Chen Wanxin? He thinks he is a green onion." Shu Xiaoman chuckled: "Zhao Yuan, the girl chasing you has been queuing up here since college. She has never looked at one of them, and she always likes to take advantage of her. I will act as a shield." Shu Xiaoman said angrily.
"Pressure is motivation. I am creating the threshold for your future husband." Zhao Yuan relaxed slightly at this moment and smiled vaguely, with a charming arc at the corner of his mouth.
At the wine party just now, he was sitting upright, wearing a mask condescendingly for a long time, and felt quite depressed.
"Okay, then Zhao Yuan, where are you going home?"
"company."
"Boss, it's one o'clock in the morning, just do it and cherish it. Why are you working so hard?"
"Those orders have been stuck. I heard that the new General Manager Chen from BC Company has a different personality. I have to go back and study those orders and find a way to solve them." Zhao Yuan said with a slight frown.
Shu Xiaoman was in a daze and suddenly braked hard, almost hitting the butt of the car in front.
"What?" Zhao Yuan asked with concern.
"It's okay. I'm so intoxicated by your alcohol. General Manager Chen is a man. It would be better if you leave it to me." Shu Xiaoman twisted his hand hard, and the pain in his heart still overshadowed the deep nails in his hands. The embedded wound hurt. This pain never subsided for six years.
At that time, Lin Wenxi had been gone for three full years without a trace.
Zhao Yuan, now Mr. Zhao, is looking for him in poverty and poverty. He attracted venture capital and started his business in his junior year. His unique entrepreneurial vision, selection of building materials, unconventional employee self-management model, and data-oriented service model made the company an independent company with exponential growth. Corner companies are followed by rounds A and B. By the time Zhao Yuan graduated, he was already a leader in the industry at the age of 23.
But apart from studies and work, if there is even a trace of clues left, he will go to a foreign country and eventually come back lonely.
Zhao Yuan once burst into tears because he actually found Yun Che and Zhu Ziping.
Shu Xiaoman knew the pain that was piercing his bones that time. That was the only clue.
At that time, Yun Che and Zhu Ziping had just returned from the Everest base camp. Because Zhu Ziping was not well prepared for climbing Mount Everest, she suffered frostbite on the mountain. Her parents were so anxious that they had to take a car to visit them. Zhu Ziping's parents were already elderly. She couldn't bear the pain of her parents being tired from traveling around. After staying in the hospital for a while, she drove back to the small town with Yun Che, only then did she learn about Lin Wenxi's many changes.
The two of them returned to the Ziyun Piano Store that was transferred to Lin Wenxi, and found that the Piano Store was handled by a girl named Hongyan.
Hongyan said that Lin Wenxi's occasional communication was only through Internet phone calls from abroad, and she checked and found that the IP address had been modified. She also asked hackers to track it, but to no avail. When Lin Wenxi entrusted the piano store to her, he mailed the transfer letter and other well-prepared agreements, but she was helpless without the mailing address. This is a letter in which the package can be abandoned at will if it cannot reach the delivery location.
Lin Wenxi only said one sentence at the time: "Every year on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, someone will go to the piano store to pick up some letters. The senders are from Yun Che and Zhu Ziping."
On the seventh day of the seventh lunar month for two consecutive years, there was a Filipino who was not very proficient in Chinese. He was dressed in Chinese clothes and politely handed over Lin Wenxi's commission letter, but the signature on it was "Chen Yuanxi."
After all, it's the third year now, and Chinese Valentine's Day is approaching again.
Shu Xiaoman remembered that Zhao Yuan, Mr. Zhao, who was already in charge of about 200 people at that time, squatted in front of the steps of Ziyun Qin Store and smoked all night. Two cigarette cases were randomly thrown on the ground, and cigarette butts were scattered on the ground. Like Zhao Yuan's messy hair. The tie was loose, the shoes were dirty, and Zhao Yuan didn't care about any image at all.
But the suitcase Zhao Yuan brought with him surprised Shu Xiaoman.
Inside were a few changes of clothes, as well as his passport and passports from various countries that he applied for a few months ago, including the United States, Singapore, and Australia. . All countries that do not require a passport to apply for visas have been handled by Zhao Yuan. Shu Xiaoman personally helped him handle these. She only thought that it might be business needs. Unexpectedly, he actually heard about someone a few months ago. She went to pick up the letter and started to make preparations. She found that she had never really figured out what he was thinking about this CEO.
Is he going to chase the Filipino maid and leave directly
The Filipino came on time and received the things, but ignored anyone.
Zhao Yuan stepped forward and started fighting with the Filipino. Unexpectedly, the Filipino had a lot of punches and kicks. However, although Zhao Yuan spent a lot of energy in setting up a company, he was still a frequent visitor to the Sanda studio, and his skills were not far behind. He tore his suit and captured the man on the spot.
Several people gathered around the silent Filipino, but they didn't have the slightest idea.
Shu Xiaoman was surprised to find that Zhao Yuan continued to communicate with the Filipino in fluent English, and finally forced the Filipino to speak a few words of English. From that spoken language, Zhao Yuan immediately judged that he had lived in the United States for a long time. Shu Xiaoman only knew that Zhao Yuan had been abroad several times. Unexpectedly, in order to find Lin Wenxi in the past few years, he had learned English so proficiently, which was beyond her expectation.
Zhao Yuan let the Filipino go and followed him all the way, but the Filipino was extremely cunning and changed cars frequently. In the end, it was a call from Zheng Kai, informing him that the Filipino had arrived at the train station instead of the airport as originally expected. It turned out that Zhao Yuan had expected that there would be a tracking and had called Zheng Kai overnight. Zheng Kai had been working as a security team leader at BC Company where Chen Wanxin worked. When he heard the news, he had been waiting nearby early in the morning. The Filipino only wanted to get rid of Zhao Yuan and others, but unexpectedly there was someone else responsible for tracking him.
In order to avoid attracting too much attention, Yun Che and Zhu Ziping were left in the small town. Zhao Yuan, Zheng Kai, and Shu Xiaoman were separated in different carriages. As expected, the cunning Filipino got off the car midway, and then transferred to A city in the north, take a plane from there to New York, USA. Zheng Kai and Shu Xiaoman couldn't go abroad right now, but Zhao Yuan carried his suitcase and bought a first-class cabin on the spot, becoming the sloppiest VIP in the first-class cabin with bloodshot eyes.
Shu Xiaoman and Zheng Kai had their own concerns and watched Zhao Yuan board the plane and leave. Shu Xiaoman remembered that there were still many things to deal with in the company, and even major VCs who were preparing for the C round of financing had already made appointments, but all of these people Zhao Yuan, who was never late, let him go. Not just one bird was released, but a group of them were released. As the only general manager assistant at that time, Shu Xiaoman had to go back in a hurry to arrange for the postponement of the road show. Based on Zhao Yuan's ideas, he wrote a rough plan in advance, and together with several vice presidents, he took the lead for Zhao Yuan. These picky VCs.
A few days later, Zhao Yuan returned to G City even more depressed. He was not jet-lagged. He took out all the ice he had prepared at home, took an ice bath, took care of himself a little, and rushed to the company. Shu Xiaoman was the only person besides Zhao Yuan who had the key to Zhao Yuan's house. Because Zhao Yuan often worked at home, she could only watch the ice mist spreading from the bathroom, and the scorching heat of midsummer turned into the cold of winter. cold.
That road show was very successful. Everyone was deeply attracted by Zhao Yuan's sophisticated eyes, and investment invitations came like a snowflake.
But Shu Xiaoman didn't know what happened to Zhao Yuan.
Zhao Yuan chased the Filipino all the way to New York and followed him all the way, but he didn't expect that the Filipino actually called a courier to send the letters he received from Ziyun Piano Store to another place. Zhao Yuan knocked the courier to the ground with three strikes, five divided by two, and checked the shipping address. It was sent to the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, California. However, the recipient was clearly not Lin Wenxi or Chen Yuanxi.
Lin Wenxi was there and Zhao Yuan's heart was beating wildly, but he was quickly arrested by the police for beating the courier. Zhao Yuan had almost used up all thirty-six strategies, but the best strategy was not to escape, so he had to stay there for a few days. As soon as he was released, he went to California.
After several struggles, he found the recipient and communicated repeatedly to no avail. The recipient later figured out something and reported Zhao Yuan for illegal stay. Zhao Yuan's passport was only valid for seven days at the time, so he had no choice but to do so. , was forcibly deported to the country, and only returned to G city after being investigated.
Due to the "bad deeds" of being deported, it was a year later that Zhao Yuan entered the United States again.
The man from Caltech had graduated and was nowhere to be found. All clues are cut off.
American roses are blooming on every street corner. The big red roses symbolize the passion and romance of this land, but Zhao Yuan only feels that the withered petals are piled up in the bottom of his heart, which cannot be swept away and are still full when brushed.
