Can't help feeling for you: can't live without you

Chapter 28
"Tquat is a female radish, and it is given to pines and cypresses." No one has asked pines and cypresses if they are willing to bear it.

"Dong Zhiwei, when you get three times your salary, do you still read your homework?"

Dong Zhiwei was left speechless by this question, and in a daze, he had already walked past her and stood in front of her desk, with his back to her, lowered his head and opened the annual plan she put on the table to read. Two eyes.

She looked at his back. Two months later, Yuan Jingrui recovered very well. There were no signs of injury on his body, but he was obviously thinner. He was dressed in black, and his waist became even narrower. She suddenly felt that she hadn't seen him for a long time. She had seen this man for so long that she felt unreal and dared not move her eyes.

He turned around, met her eyes, and his face stiffened, "What? Do you still want to resign?"

Before she could answer, he added, "Didn't you say that Cheng Fang came here for work?"

Those were her exact words, Dong Zhiwei only nodded.

He said again, "Didn't you say you would give up your original position?"

That was still her original words, Dong Zhiwei fell into a situation where he couldn't explain it, and he spoke after a long time, "But the position of the head of the administrative department is too sudden for me."

He snorted, "I'm not in the habit of joking about the company's affairs, not to mention that all your demands have been met, why don't you devote yourself to Cheng Fang?"

She was surprised, Yuan Jingrui would never speak like this in front of her in the past, with a bit of anger, unlike his usual attitude of taking everything lightly.

Although Yuan Jingrui was born in an alley, his conversation has always been impeccable, without a bit of market air, and he is best at laughing but not answering. She still remembers that one morning he suddenly called her on the bedside and asked her, "Body?" Okay?" He added, "There's no need to hurry." Everything was in a laughing voice that made her unable to resist.

And he continued to look at the plan in his hand nonchalantly under her gaze, as if that sentence was not what he said at all.

He actually lost control in front of Dong Zhiwei again, and looked away to cover up his vague embarrassment, even though she didn't know it.

This embarrassment comes from her rejection, Dong Zhiwei rejected him more than once.Yuan Jingrui had to admit that he was stupefied by her.He never thought that he would have a woman he couldn't get, let alone that this woman was Dong Zhiwei.

She is the most categorical woman he has ever met in his life. She is completely different from her appearance. He feels incredible, angry and lost, and all these turned into embarrassment in the end. A man can't ask for the woman he likes. Embarrassed.

This embarrassment even made him unable to face her for a period of time, and he left the city with her hastily, like a kind of escape after a defeat, and this embarrassment made him unable to let her leave. Trapping her, this decision surprised many people, and was even ridiculed by Xia Ziqi.

Xia Ziqi flew to Hong Kong specifically to talk to him about the follow-up results of Wen Bailiang's investigation. In front of him, he talked about Dai Ailing from Wen Bailiang, and then from Dai Ailin about the Zhang brothers, and finally talked about a few possibilities. It was the Zhang family brothers who found a backer and planned to attack Cheng Fang again. Yuan Jingrui sneered, "Just relying on these two idiots? No matter how big a backer you find, it is of limited use."

"I also think it's unlikely. With the abilities of the Zhang family brothers, it's very difficult to get in touch with high-level figures, let alone someone with a background like Dai Ailing."

"But those two people are hidden now, and their whereabouts cannot be found."

"There is also a second possibility, that is, Wen found them and wanted to use them to do something, such as using them as chips to attack Cheng Fang."

"I've met this person before, and I've also seen his experience over the years." Yuan Jingrui smiled a little at this point, and didn't comment, but the meaning revealed was obvious.

Xia Ziqi nodded, "I'm not afraid of this man, it's just that Dai Ailing is a figure in the financial circle. She has a strong background in China and a deep foundation in foreign countries. Several domestic investment banks have won her business. The last time Jin Development Her IPO was originally scheduled to be funded by Morgan Stanley, but her company forced it to take it away, and now it is engaged in private equity and funds, and the capital game is very fun."

"Cheng Fang didn't let her interfere, did he?" Yuan Jingrui narrowed his eyes.

"No." Xia Ziqi answered him affirmatively, "But the strange thing is here, the company is about to go public, and she doesn't have our shares in her hands, but she has something to do with the Zhang brothers. I think The last possibility is that this matter has nothing to do with Dai Ailing at all, it was Wen who went to those two people purely to vent his personal anger."

"Venting out personal anger?" Yuan Jingrui asked him back.

Xia Ziqi put down the tablet in his hand, put away his serious expression, and smiled teasingly at him, "Boss Yuan, let's talk about Cheng Fang's new head of the administration department."

Yuan Jingrui snorted a little unnaturally, and said sternly, "Dong Zhiwei is quite capable, but the administrative department is short of people. Why, do you have any opinions on this?"

Xia Ziqi stared at him, "Don't tell me, you haven't taken Dong Zhiwei down until now."

"I've already said that this is a matter of the company. I don't think it was that simple just now. You send someone to check on everyone who currently owns Chengfang's shares, especially overseas." Yuan Jingrui frowned and answered, obviously Want to end this topic.

"I will handle this matter, but the composition of overseas capital like Lynn's is very complicated. Some shareholders don't participate in their own names at all. They are all shell companies used for capital operations. You know, register now A company can be operated by adding a share, and people in the financial circle are the best at playing this game." Xia Ziqi said, stretching out his hand to compare to the window, "Shell companies like Hong Kong are everywhere."

"I know, so be more careful." Yuan Jingrui nodded.

"What about you?" Xia Ziqi asked him back.

"Me?" He raised his eyebrows.

"You have to be careful about more than that." Xia Ziqi spit out these words meaningfully, "Women are tigers, especially those who wear sheep's clothing. You have benefited too much from women. Now be careful of retribution. One was eaten to the bone and could not be found."

This was so harsh, Yuan Jingrui was taken aback when he heard it, then he stood up and cursed, "Get the fuck out of me, don't think I'm a friend and I won't beat you up."

Speaking so harshly, I didn't even think that I still had a bandage on one hand.

Yuan Jingrui turned over two more pages of the plan in his hand, and then spoke again.

"there's one more thing."

Before he finished speaking, a woman's voice came from outside the door, a little rusty, but not hoarse, and very soft, calling his name, "Yuan Jingrui? Yuan Jingrui? Where are you?" It sounded like behave in a spoiled manner.

Yuan Jingrui responded, and then put down the plan in his hand. The door of the office hadn't been closed since he came in. There was an empty corridor outside, and footsteps had already reached the door. The visitor didn't walk into the office directly, but Standing at the door, looked at the situation inside the door, then smiled, and said to him, "Did I interfere with your work, big boss."

He laughed, "Come in, this is Chengfang's administrative director, Dong Zhiwei, she is on duty today."

"Such a young supervisor?" The woman walked in. When she was at the door, she was behind the light, so she couldn't see her face clearly. Now that she walked in front of her, there were some fine lines at the corners of her eyes, so she wasn't too young, but she smiled twice. There is a small dimple hidden in the corner of the mouth, and there is a small mole on the lip, which is really cute.

"My name is Chen Wenwen." She said her name, and pointed to Yuan Jingrui beside her, "His old classmate, I haven't seen him for many years, you say it's a coincidence, we met on the plane back."

Chen Wenwen and Yuan Jingrui stood together, as beautiful as a pair of icing figures on a cake. Dong Zhiwei only remembered seeing such a scene through the window when he was very young, and it felt distant and unreal.

She was silent for a while, feeling that nothing she said was appropriate.

The reception for the Business Figure of the Year Awards Ceremony was held on the first weekend after the Lunar New Year. There was still a lively and colorful New Year atmosphere on the street, and the scene in the hotel was as lively as ever. Rolled into the shape of petals, served on a snow-white spoon, the light yellow biscuits are dotted with foie gras, spread out like flowers, and the caviar reflects the crystal light on the freshly baked bread slices cut into triangles. Come on, champagne bubbles rise endlessly in the clear long-stemmed glasses, women in evening gowns bring mixed aromas, and the laughter and chatter of men continue to raise the temperature of the entire hall, and some people have already started Speaking of heat, many men's foreheads with receding hairlines and women's bare shoulders faintly reflect sweat.

Only Dong Zhiwei felt that she was cold. She didn't want to come. Today is only the seventh day of the lunar new year. She is still on her annual leave. She just wants to stay at her home.

But Yuan Jingrui insisted on the other end of the phone, so she had to remind him, "Mr. Yuan, you already have a girlfriend."

She knew that he invited Chen Wenwen, they flew to Shanghai on the same flight yesterday, after getting off the plane, Chen Wenwen went to the company with him, and mentioned this matter in front of Dong Zhiwei.

After the accident that year, Chen Wenwen was sent by her parents to study abroad. She has been living in Canada. She was only a freshman when she went abroad. He is only 32 years old and not married yet, which is when a flower blooms at its most beautiful.

Her parents are both university professors, and she is also very good at studying. After graduating abroad, she stayed in school to teach. This time, she came back for an exchange program with an international school. She also intends to return to China for a long time. Unexpectedly, she met on the plane. What Yuan Jingrui didn't expect was that he actually invited her to attend the awards ceremony.

When Chen Wenwen said this, her eyes lit up, and even the little mole on her lips was extraordinarily beautiful. Dong Zhiwei didn't want to see it, but there was no way, her joy was radiant and hurt her heart. Eye.

He answered her over there, "I still need an assistant."

"And Secretary Zhan."

"He's in Guangdong and hasn't come back yet."

Dong Zhiwei was at a loss. After thinking about it, he finally said, "Mr. Yuan, I am no longer your secretary."

He replied, "I remember, but you are still an employee of Chengfang, so the supervisor can't work overtime?"

This sentence was too serious, Dong Zhiwei responded in a low voice, saying of course not, he asked her to make preparations, and Lao Chen would come to pick her up at that time.

Yuan Jingrui hadn't appeared in public for a long time, and even few people in the company knew that he had returned.Dong Zhiwei could predict the reaction at the scene, but what she didn't expect was that Wen Bailiang was there, sitting in the same row with her, with only a few seats between them.

She sat at the end, and he cast eyes on her from time to time, which troubled her immensely.

Finally passed the speech time, Dong Zhiwei immediately got up and left the seat, the reception was set in the hall, everyone was led outside, Yuan Jingrui and Chen Wenwen also stood up, Dong Zhiwei walked to Yuan Jingrui and said, "Mr. Yuan, I want to... ..."

Her words were interrupted, Dai Ailing came over, didn't look at her, just smiled and extended her hand to Yuan Jingrui.

"Mr. Yuan, I have admired your name for a long time."

Yuan Jingrui shook hands with her and smiled, "Miss Dai is polite."

The two stood there for a few polite words, and introduced the people around them to each other. Dai Ailing glanced at Chen Wenwen, and said with a smile, "Mr. Yuan's female companion is really attractive." face, and asked again, "Is this the Secretary Dong? I have heard many people mention it, and he is very capable."

Yuan Jingrui shook his head with a smile, "If you say you are capable, how can you compare to Mr. Wen next to Ms. Dai? Oh, by the way, Mr. Wen is still your assistant, right? I heard that he has done a few big projects recently, which is very attractive." The eyeballs are passing everywhere."

After saying a word, Wen Bailiang's face darkened, and someone came over and patted Yuan Jingrui on the shoulder, and then turned his face to Dai Ailing and said, "You guys are chatting here, let's go, we old people The guys are all gathering there, how about the two of you chatting together?"

The one who spoke was Mr. Chairman, who was giving a speech on the stage before. Yuan Jingrui's shoulders sank after being patted by him, but he still smiled and shook hands with him. Dai Ailing naturally extended his hand generously.

Mr. Chairman looked at the female companion beside Yuan Jingrui, and then said to Yuan Jingrui, "Brother, I thought you were missing, so you went to pursue a beautiful woman. Let's go over and introduce you together, and leave the assistant here. Just do it."

Several people were taken away by him, even Wen Bailiang was no exception, only Dong Zhiwei was left behind, Yuan Jingrui handed the two mobile phones to Dong Zhiwei before turning around, and told her, "Wait for me, if you have anything to say, wait a while Say more."

Dong Zhiwei has been his secretary for a long time, and many people know her, otherwise, Mr. Chairman would not have ignored her so easily, but the rest of the people have looked at her a few more times, including the constant Chen Wenwen put her hand in Yuan Jingrui's elbow.

It was too late for Dong Zhiwei to say that he had to leave, and with Yuan Jingrui's two mobile phones in his hand, he felt even more helpless.The inner hall was almost empty. The usher in a black velvet dress walked up to her and asked her sweetly, "Miss, do you need anything? The buffet table is outside, and I will take you there."

Dong Zhiwei was ushered to the dining table outside, and most of the people around her had already started chatting enthusiastically with food, she saw Wen Bailiang and Dai Ailing, they stood together, no one looked at her.She breathed a sigh of relief, and didn't want to stay in the bright place for too long, but she was really hungry, so she lowered her head and picked up a few things, walked to the corner and ate a few bites by herself.

The salmon was cold, the foie gras was cold, the caviar was cold, and the champagne was chilled. There was a thin layer of cold mist on the goblet. One of her phones started to vibrate, and she was holding things in both hands, but she couldn't find a place to put them down, and she was a little flustered for a while.

Someone came up to her, took the champagne glass from her hand, and called her name.

"Zhiwei."

When Dong Zhiwei turned around, he met Wen Bailiang's face. He was wearing a formal suit, but his eyes were full of irritability, his brows were frowning, and he didn't continue after calling her name, just looking at her.

She remembered that he left with Yuan Jingrui and others just now, so she couldn't help but glance behind him.

He knew what she was looking at, and just said, "They are still talking, I came out alone."

The phone was still vibrating, Dong Zhiwei said "thank you" and "sorry" again, bowed his head and took the phone out of his bag first.

Of course the call was to Yuan Jingrui, she answered politely and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Yuan is inconvenient to answer the phone right now, I will convey it for you."

After putting away the phone, she looked up again, only showing a polite smile to Wen Bailiang, and asked him politely and strangely, "Mr. Wen, what's the matter?" Then she stretched out her hand to take back his hand The cup in the cup, and said, "I'm sorry for your trouble, thank you."

The corner where she stands is close to the side door leading to the outside, through the floor-to-ceiling glass, you can see the bleak winter scene in the garden, because of the cold, no one passes by, and the bright lights in the hall stop before reaching here, Dong Zhiwei chooses This place is only for its cleanliness, and of course to avoid contact with too many people.

——especially Wen Bailiang.

She has a grudge against him. Although Dong Zhiwei has a calm temper, she is by no means the kind of blessed and free-spirited woman who will shy away when she is hurt. It is not good for her to talk and laugh freely with a man who once pushed herself into the dust. possible tasks.

Dong Zhiwei's politeness and unfamiliarity exhausted Wen Bailiang's last bit of patience. Instead of returning the cup to her, he grasped the hand she extended with his other hand. His hand was extremely strong, and his voice contained impatient.

"Zhiwei, did you really follow Yuan Jingrui? What's going on? You're not like that."

When a person encounters an unacceptable thing for the first time, his reaction is often violent and explosive; the second time, he tends to try certain methods to avoid it; the third time, the fourth time, or even For the umpteenth time, the average person tends to become numb and accept the fact without reacting at all.

Dong Zhiwei's current situation is like this. With regard to her relationship with Yuan Jingrui, during the ups and downs of these days, she has reached a point where she has no power to distinguish and can only deal with it calmly. Now she is asked by Wen Bailiang so suddenly. And, her first thought was no longer "why does everyone have to see this way", but "what qualifications does he have to say such a thing".

Not only did she think this way, but she also asked the question back. After breaking free from his grasp, he held on tightly, and it took her a lot of effort to pull her hand back.

"Mr. Wen, aren't you afraid of being misunderstood by you so concerned about my private affairs?"

He was choked by her question, and then he was speechless, and it took a full minute to come back to his senses.

Is this still Dong Zhiwei?
She used to be gentle and obedient in front of him, and never contradicted any of his words, even if she disagreed, her words were tactful, and she only said, "I think maybe it can be..." or, "Then you think this is okay?"

But now what she said was, "Mr. Wen, aren't you afraid of being misunderstood by you so concerned about my private affairs?"

He was embarrassed, but still unwillingly said, "I care about you."

"Thank you, but I don't need it." Dong Zhiwei answered him like this, and then gave up the plan to return the goblet, as if he was about to leave at the beginning.

He stopped her, out of a kind of instinct, behind him was the Vanity Fair where the shadows of the temples and the fragrance of clothes were intertwined, and someone had already noticed the movement here and looked at them from afar.

Dong Zhiwei pointed behind Wen Bailiang, "Is that your girlfriend? Mr. Wen."

He turned back in surprise, the subtle expression on his face was magnified infinitely at this moment, Dong Zhiwei looked at him with pity, as if he was looking at the former self buried by him, then turned around, pushed open the glass door leading to the garden and left go out.
