"Xiao Lian, recently you have put more effort into your work than before. It is worthy of praise. Now the company's performance is improving, and you have a lot of credit for it."

"You're flattering me. It's thanks to my father's cultivation that I can be what I am today." Duanmulian was a little puzzled by Duanmuyuan's abnormal behavior, feeling that things were not that simple.

"Besides, you've been in the company for such a long time, it's time to get familiar with internal and external affairs, Yezhou and Beifeng are both uninvited cash cows, as long as you have a good relationship with the two companies, your future development will not be a problem , Mr. Ye seems to take extra care of us after several times of wooing us, but Beifeng still lacks trust in each other, so we have to use a steady and steady way..."

"What's your opinion?"

"Of course, the other party's reservations are based on their own interests. If the two companies have a guarantee for each other, it will not be a problem to leverage each other."

"You mean..." Duanmulian also got a general idea from his father's obscure hint, but he still hesitated to confirm the man's real intention.

"Then let's make it clear. You and Lin Mio are not young anymore, and you are the only only child in the family. Your parents hope that you can get married as soon as possible. The two of you are just right, and Lin Mio's child is not bad. Now It is the time when the right time and place are rare, and it can also seek long-term benefits for the company, so why not do it.”

"Ms. Lin and I are still in the running-in stage, isn't it a bit too hasty..." The scruples in my heart were unfortunately pointed out by Duanmuyuan, and the first thing Duanmulian thought of was not his future plans, but how to get along with Ye Qing He confessed that he was extremely surprised by this untimely idea.

"You young people have a lot of time, but our older generation is not what it used to be, and the power of the company should be handed over to you. Now is the right time. I will set a date for you to arrange the succession and marriage. If we do it together, wouldn’t it be the best of both worlds.”

"Dad, this is not appropriate..." Duanmulian was fidgeting suddenly. He knew that this moment would come sooner or later, but he didn't expect to be so caught off guard that it would be too late for him to repay the emotional debt he owed.

"What's not suitable, Lin Mio is such a good girl, where can you find her, that's all."

There was no room for negotiation in Duanmuyuan's tone. He took a sip of tea calmly, picked up the newspaper beside him and read it, and added, "I will take care of the company handover. Just worry about the Lin family, I have already talked to Mr. Lin, and he is also anxious about this matter, so it is estimated that the wedding will be scheduled for next month, and the time is a bit tight, so we need to step up planning."

Just as Duanmulian was about to say something, Duanmuyuan immediately waved his hands and said in a tone of impatience, "Stop talking nonsense, go and do your work."

Duanmulian returned to the office with a frown. It seems that his father should have discussed this matter with Lin Mio this morning before discussing it with him. Everyone knows that the young lady likes Duanmulian. Of course, she is eager to get married immediately. Father and Father Lin also couldn't wait for them to be together. He was the only one who was reluctant to participate in this marriage, which was a mixture of interests and personal affection.

But what can be done? He is naturally obedient and obedient to the words of his elders. It is not because he is afraid, but because of the inertial thinking he has formed for a long time, which has made him develop a respectful and tactful personality. Many people think that he is easy to bully by responding to requests. Now Fortunately, major events in life can't even be decided by yourself.

Duanmulian lay on the table, not knowing what to do. He secretly prayed that Ye Qing would never know about this matter. But at this moment, the harsh ringing of the phone seemed to cut off his tense nerves. Duanmulian picked up the receiver before he could speak. , Lin Mio's excited voice came from over there.

"Uncle Xiaolian told you about the two of us, right?"

Duanmulian could imagine how bright the girl's smile was at the moment, but unfortunately he was not in the mood to accompany her, "I told you, what's the matter with Ms. Lin?"

"It's nothing to do with us, why are you still so distinguished." Lin Mi complained a little dissatisfied, and then remembered the serious matter she wanted to say, "My dad has something to tell you, come to my house in the afternoon and drive the car back."

It was only then that Duanmulian remembered that his car had been standing in the Lin family's yard since Ye Qing picked him up last night, so he could only calm down and agree, and after hanging up the phone, he nestled in the chair without thinking about what Father Lin would tell him , it was nothing more than the matter of marriage, and when he thought about it, he felt distraught and restless.

During the lunch break, Duanmulian took time out to visit Lin's house, and was grabbed and chattered endlessly by the enthusiastic father and daughter. He forced himself to laugh and agree, until he couldn't bear it anymore and found an excuse to have an appointment, and father Lin was willing to Letting him go, Duanmulian drove back to the company as if he had escaped death. As soon as he entered the parking lot, he saw a familiar car parked not far from the entrance. It should have just arrived.

At this moment, the man he least wants to see is discussing a long-term project with Duanmuyuan in the reception room. Duanmulian wanted to avoid their sight and sneak into the office, but was stopped by an employee who happened to come out of the pantry.

"Xiao Lian, just now the chairman is looking for you all over the world."

"Find me?"

"Specially ordered us to tell you to go to the reception room if we saw you."

"Let's go..." Duanmulian was completely stupefied. He really didn't want to see that man at this time. Maybe it was out of guilt, guilt, or other unspeakable feelings. Even mentioning things related to him Uneasy, not to mention having to go face-to-face now.

He had no choice but to push open the door, and sure enough Duanmuyuan was talking endlessly to Ye Qing, when he saw Duanmulian, he immediately signaled him to come over, questioning with some dissatisfaction.

"Where did you go during work hours?"

"Holding...Sorry, I went to visit the Lin family..." Duan Mulian said in a short sentence, his voice became softer, he knew that Ye Qing had a grudge against the Lin family, but he couldn't make up a lie, he saw Ye Qing's expression from the corner of his eye There was no change, just a faint glance at him.

Duanmuyuan immediately lost his anger when he heard that, he pulled aside a chair beside Duanmulian to sit down, then put on a smiling face and explained to Ye Qing, "It was originally planned to hand over the company to Xiaolian next month, so let him come and talk to Da I know a lot of clients, but this kid doesn't know the rules, so he just knows to run to his fiancée, so please take care of Mr. Ye."

"Fiancee?" Ye Qing pushed his glasses and raised his head.

Duanmulian's heart beat wildly in an instant, like a thief who had stolen something was exposed in public, he quickly tugged at the corner of his father's clothes, but the other party didn't give her permission, instead he patiently explained to Ye Qing.

"Xiao Lian has grown up. On the one hand, it is time to formally inherit the company, and on the other hand, it is time to start a family. This child still has a lot to do. Please take care of him after he takes office."

"Then I would like to congratulate your son in advance on his career and family success."

"Mr. Ye is too polite. The date is estimated to be next month, but the details have not yet been determined."

"This is really a good thing." Ye Qing let go of the pen holder in his hand and landed on the table with a "slap", Duanmulian's scalp shuddered from the shock of the sound, he lowered his head nervously and had nowhere to hide. Dare to imagine what Ye Qing will do next.

It seemed that his father had also noticed Ye Qing's sudden displeasure, and just as he was about to reply, Ye Qing took back the contract that was on the table. Standing up, I was unreasonably calm, "Since the time is short, it seems that I have to hurry back and prepare a big gift, and I will ask the two of you to show respect."

Ye Qing put aside these words and walked away calmly, Duanmulian didn't dare to say a word, he could feel the furious anger hidden under Ye Qing's calm appearance, and the father who was sitting next to him didn't know why, and hurriedly left The seat followed Ye Qing's footsteps, trying to coax this weird-tempered financial backer.

Duanmu Lian returned to the office in a daze. All the accidents happened today, which made him feel dizzy and dizzy. His whole body was cold and he felt that this matter would be irreversible. However, he had no choice but to sit and wait for death.

This night Ye Qing sent him a text message for the first time.

[Are you really going to get married? ]

He gripped the phone and gritted his teeth, his heart was twisted like a knife. These words made him feel like Ling Chi. He was so painful that he wanted to call that man back and tell him that this was not his original wish, and that he was even fed up with it. I want to escape with him to a place far away from the world and no one knows to live a lifetime.

However, the heavy shackles on his body told him that he was not even qualified to be delusional now. Duanmulian didn't cry or make a fuss. He was exhausted after experiencing too many collapses. He grabbed his heart and gave the man a noncommittal but clear answer.

[Sorry. ]

Maybe he and Ye Qing's true fate is over, but in the end they still have to break up.
