Chapter 41
Zhou Yanchi stood in the living room for a while, then went to the kitchen alone to get food.
Now Du Ruoheng takes good care of himself. The kitchen is fully equipped with signs of being used; there is plenty of food in the refrigerator, including vegetables, meat, melons and fruits, as well as a few snacks and two good-looking ones. cake.
The last time Zhou Yanchi stepped here was three years ago. At that time, Du Ruoheng's kitchen was tidy and spacious, and it looked like a model room advertisement posted by real estate.Now it is very lively here, and it can be seen that the owner has spent a lot of interest and time on it.
This made Zhou Yanchi somewhat uncomfortable.No matter from any aspect, it can be seen that Du Ruoheng has been able to take charge of her own side. She lives an independent and free life, very chic, full of positive atmosphere, and has no regrets.She was already able to be self-sufficient both materially and spiritually, and she no longer needed him at all. This was a fact, and he couldn't help denying it.
Zhou Yanchi found some ingredients to make porridge, then knocked on the bedroom door, and asked Du Ruoheng if he wanted to eat some together.
It took a long while before a voice came out from inside, saying that he didn't want to eat without any interest.
So Zhou Yanchi sat in front of the dining table and ate dinner alone.After eating, I went to wash the dishes and tidy up everything, and went back to the living room to watch TV alone.
In fact, he has been in this state for the past two years, no matter what he does, he is alone.It was okay when he was outside, his identity determined that no matter where he went, it would be very lively, surrounded by stars and moons.After returning home, it turned into a different scene. Zhou's house was much larger than Du Ruoheng's apartment, and he was the only one left besides the servants, so it seemed extraordinarily deserted and empty.After the car accident, Zhou Yanchi seldom ate in the restaurant seriously, and usually he asked the housekeeper to bring the meals to the study.Facing the huge restaurant alone, it was very empty, and he couldn't produce much appetite.
Some people get used to being single after a long time, but Zhou Yanchi is obviously not one of them.The butler once brought a dog to Zhou's residence, but Zhou Yanchi found it bothersome, so he asked him to send it back within two days.
After Shen Chu found out, he said that he had many problems.Then he said: "It's so desolate, you should go find another one. Since you haven't kept everything you should have, why bother to force it? It's better to seek a new life as soon as possible."
Zhou Yanchi rubbed his eyebrows and ignored it, Shen Chu wanted to make noise again, he interrupted him carelessly: "I'll call Zhang Yaran over here."
Shen Chu immediately glared: "Get lost."
Anyone with a discerning eye could see Zhou Yanchi's changes in the past two years, and they laughed and asked him why he suddenly changed his mind.For this reason, someone in his small circle sent him a plaque with the word loyalty written on it.However, few people really had confidence in him. Shen Chu kept encouraging him, saying that he was the most determined person he had met in the past 30 years, but he also tested Zhou Yanchi more than once, both openly and secretly.
Zhou Yanchi has never been a person who cares about other people's eyes.But when he changes suddenly, there will inevitably be times when his will will be shaken.So he can only avoid those tempting places completely. In the past three years, he has never stepped into a sensual place, and his behavior is more strict than that of his wife.
For this reason, Shen Chu said with emotion that this was retribution, and even laughed at him for dying pitifully.
Zhou Yanchi had no interest in TV programs at first, and even more so when he watched them alone.In addition, he is still a little dizzy, which is the aftereffect of a car accident, and he will commit a crime very occasionally.He fell asleep before ten o'clock. He went to the guest room to find a blanket and just put it on his body when he heard the bedroom door being gently opened.
Du Ruoheng stood barefoot at the door.After a while she asked, "Are you asleep?"
Zhou Yanchi didn't know how to answer correctly.In the end, he chose to close his eyes and fall asleep without saying a word.
After a while, Du Ruoheng came over.Zhou Yanchi held his breath and concentrated. He noticed that she had stepped on the scarlet carpet and stood in front of the sofa for a while. Her movements covered some of the light above her head, as if she was looking at him.Then she squatted down, stretched out her hand with some hesitation, moving slowly, advancing and retreating, but finally touched the top of his head.
There is a scar there, which is the result of Zhou Yanchi's craniotomy after the car accident.As soon as Du Ruoheng touched it, his wrist trembled.The fingers left and then came back, she touched slowly from the beginning to the end, for a long time, she paused for a while before taking it back.
She looked down at him in silence.After a long while, he said coldly: "Don't pretend to be asleep when you are awake."
Zhou Yanchi slowly opened his eyes, his eyes were very gentle.
Seeing that she lowered her eyes and said nothing, he comforted her and said, "It happened a long time ago, don't worry."
Du Ruoheng suddenly said lightly: "Zhou Yanchi, you are very old now, do you know that?"
Zhou Yan hummed.
"I already have white hair, and there are small fine lines at the corners of my eyes." She thought for a while, and added, "It's a good thing you don't smile, otherwise you must be ugly and have no energy."
Zhou Yanchi couldn't cope, so he hummed again.
She added: "I don't want to get back together with you."
Zhou Yanchi said softly, "I know."
Du Ruoheng fell silent.Zhou Yanchi even breathed lightly, not daring to disturb her.After waiting for a long time, she heard her suddenly say, "What's so good about those women?"
"..."
She didn't look at him, she lowered her eyes and asked slowly: "Lan Yurou, Wen Huai, and those women I don't know, tell me, I listen, tell me, what's so good about them, huh?"
"..."
Zhou Yanchi was speechless at all.Du Ruoheng was quiet for a while, and then said: "Think about it, you just had an operation, and you can leave scars. Now you still want to erase the old things and restore your relationship. This is already impossible. What do we use to remarry, do you think I have any reason to persuade myself to remarry with you? "
She finally raised her face, her eyes were slightly red, and there was a hint of crying in the voice of questioning him: "Do you know that you are not worthy at all now."
Zhou Yanchi reached out and held her tightly in his arms, struggling together.He kissed her hair, murmured something apologetic, he kept saying sorry, it was all his fault and mistake, he gave her a pat on the back.
Du Ruoheng's hand grabbed a little bit of his flesh, and then twisted it up with all his strength as if it were a point of strength.Her back trembled deeply uncontrollably, she was agitated, she kept taking deep breaths, and almost cried, but in the end she didn't shed a single tear in front of Zhou Yanchi.
Finally she calmed down and pushed him away.
Du Ruoheng sat on the sofa opposite.Her hands were still a little cold, and she drank as much water as she could calmly.Zhou Yanchi wasn't sure if she would tell him to get out next, but in the end he didn't wait for this sentence.Du Ruoheng didn't even look at him again, and when she was completely calm, she got up and went back to the bedroom.Did not speak to him again.
Zhou Yanchi didn't fall asleep all night, and got up early the next morning, went downstairs to buy breakfast, and fried two more eggs when he came back.Du Ruoheng came out of the bedroom with slightly swollen eyelids just like him.The two had no communication all the time, they sat face to face in silence and finished breakfast. Zhou Yanchi cleaned up the kitchen as diligently as the two when they were abroad.
Then the two watched TV together in the living room, each sitting on one side of the sofa.A moment later a doorbell was heard.Zhang Yaran stepped in at the same time Du Ruoheng opened the door, and when he saw Zhou Yanchi, he almost knelt down for him: "Mr. Zhou, for the sake of master and servant for many years, can you call me back at least, okay?" Please!"
Zhou Yanchi said coldly without moving his eyebrows: "Stand up straight, the sky is not falling."
Zhang Yaran was so anxious that she was about to cry, how could she be calm, she took the first flight early in the morning to come to City S, not to talk about feelings with these two people: "Right now, the media in City T is all about you. The matter of misappropriating Yuanheng's public funds to hold a private banquet, this kind of matter has been exposed at this juncture, do you still want to keep the positions of chairman and CEO! Even if the sky is not falling, it is no different from half falling, okay?"
Du Ruoheng looked away from the TV, half looking at Zhou Yanchi.Zhang Yaran wished she could scratch her hair and go around in circles: "Can you go back to T city with me right now? Several directors are looking for you like crazy!"
Zhou Yanchi didn't even move his little finger after listening.He hummed briefly, and then said, "Ask Zhang Yiming to go over to Yuanheng this afternoon."
Zhang Yaran was stunned: "...What do you want him to do? If you want to sue Director Kang, Attorney Zhang is not the most suitable one. He is only in charge of financial cases, not this kind of..."
Zhou Yanchi said, "You asked him to draw up a property transfer agreement, which basically means that I will donate all the shares in Yuanheng to Ms. Du Ruoheng. After today, Ms. Du Ruoheng will own the property transfer agreement." Yuanheng's absolute controlling stake."
"..."
Zhang Yaran's eyes widened, and he almost blurted out - you are not dazed, are you?
Du Ruoheng's reaction was much calmer than Zhang Yaran's.She turned her face to one side, looked Zhou Yanchi up and down, then turned her head and continued watching TV.
What was playing on the screen was a childish cartoon, and Du Ruoheng couldn't take his eyes off it.It took Zhang Yaran a while to recover her voice: "What I just had was an auditory hallucination, right?"
Zhou Yanchi shattered her dream coldly: "You didn't."
"..."
"Do as I say." Zhou Yanchi thought for a moment, then changed his words, "Forget it, tell Zhang Yiming to go to Yuanheng tomorrow. Today I will temporarily live in City S."
"But……"
"No buts."
"So……"
"To shut up."
Zhang Yaran stopped talking.Zhou Yanchi said again: "Turn around, go out, and go back to T City to find Zhang Yiming. The rest of the directors will wait for me to deal with it later."
A few minutes later, Zhang Yaran left in a daze like a puppet. Du Ruoheng turned his face and looked at him with a half-smile: "No wonder you are not in a hurry to go back to T City to deal with affairs. You want to use me as a gun to help balance Kang Chen? It's too cheap to think."
Zhou Yanchi took over Yuanheng at that time, and successively obtained all the shares he held from Zhou's father.In the next few years, the veterans of Yuanheng's board of directors were constantly eliminated by him, and Zhou Yan held more and more shares. When he married Du Ruoheng, his share of Yuanheng's shares accounted for about 40.00%.After the divorce, the property was divided into half, and Zhou Yanchi was impeached by several directors including Kang Zaicheng. During that time, he successively bought back shares at high prices from many idle buyers.With the addition of the part held by Du Ruoheng, it is just over half of the total number of shares issued by Yuan Heng.
If Zhou Yanzhi really transfers all the shares, Du Ruoheng will become the largest holder of Yuanheng shares.If one day she is in a good mood and plans to disband Yuan Heng, no one can say no.But on the other hand, what Kang Chen was determined to win was Zhou Yanchi's original chairman and CEO positions. If Zhou Yanchi grasped Du Ruoheng's desire not to leave Yuanheng's CEO position to Kang Chen, Then he took this step very well, directly making all of Kang Chen's efforts go to waste.
After hearing her words, Zhou Yanchi rubbed his eyebrows again."That's not it," he said.
"How is that?"
Zhou Yanchi was silent for a while.
Du Ruoheng looked at him with her chin propped up, and she asked him, "How long have you been planning this?"
Zhou Yanchi said, "Can we not use the word planning?"
Du Ruoheng smiled and said honestly, "You handed me such a big piece of cake all of a sudden, I dare not accept it."
Zhou Yanchi helplessly explained: "I never thought of plotting against you. Wouldn't it be nice to hold these things? At least you can manipulate anyone within a certain range. This will let you breathe a sigh of relief."
To a certain extent, he felt a little helpless about the current state of the two of them getting along.Every sentence had to explain the cause and effect. If the two of them still had a five-point tacit understanding, Du Ruoheng would not have asked him the question just now.
The trust and tacit understanding between the two need to be re-established, which is more difficult than when the two first met more than ten years ago.Zhou Yanchi needs to be extra cautious.What makes it even more difficult for him is that he has no new way to bring the two back to the past quickly.
If the future must be the person in front of him, he can only wait.Or three years, or five years, or even longer.He wasn't really sure.
Du Ruoheng frowned and remained silent.Her hands were clasped together, her fingers were slender and pale.The sun shines through the window, looking from the side, her chin is slightly raised.It gives people the illusion that it is still the same as it was back then.Zhou Yanchi withdrew his gaze lightly, and said, "If you don't want to do this, can we just be ordinary friends first?"
Du Ruoheng raised his eyelids and looked at him: "Ordinary friends don't pose such difficult problems to people."
"Don't take it as a burden. After signing the agreement, you will be the biggest director. No one else dares to embarrass you." Zhou Yanchi said, "Being an investor is more worry-free than being a manager. You can find a headhunter for you." With a suitable executive, Yuan Heng will still be managed in an orderly manner."
Du Ruoheng suddenly said: "Why do you want to look far away, I think Kang Chen is already very suitable."
These words made Zhou Yan feel uncomfortable, his face changed a little, but in the end he still responded as calmly as possible: "If you like, you can."
Du Ruoheng smiled.She said: "You should really let yourself see how inconsistent your attitude is. You see, we cannot be so-called ordinary friends. Ordinary friends can indeed tolerate inconsistent value orientations, but ordinary friends will not try to interfere and criticize Each other's private lives."
Zhou Yanchi said: "Our value orientation will remain the same in the future."
Du Ruoheng's face turned cold."Don't make that kind of promise again," she said.
The atmosphere between the two became a little stagnant.After a while, he hesitated and asked, "Do you still have good feelings for me?"
Du Ruoheng said without expression: "Don't say such things again."
In the afternoon, Du Ruoheng got a call and wanted to go out.Zhou Yanchi asked her where she was going and when she would come back, but she didn't answer, and Zhou Yanchi was not allowed to follow.Zhou Yanchi then asked what I was doing, and Du Ruoheng said that it was not your freedom to go where, and I didn't put you in confinement.
Zhou Yanchi looked at her silently.So Du Ruoheng changed his words again, saying that you can go to No. 139 South Road.
It was the largest local gold selling cave in S City, singing and dancing every night, and the radiant light could be seen from several kilometers away.Zhou Yanchi stared at her with a slightly hurt expression on his face.Du Ruoheng then changed his words again: "Either you can do housework at home. I'll settle your wages according to the quality later." After finishing speaking, she closed the door and left with her bag.
Zhou Yanchi then devoted himself to doing housework in Du Ruoheng's apartment, wearing a red floral apron in front of him.His cleaning attitude is more careful than looking at the company's contract. He must make sure that there is no dust visible to the naked eye in every place.It wasn't until more than an hour later that Shen Chu knocked on the door.
Shen Chu was originally holding a business meeting at the S City Development Zone, and immediately rushed over after hearing what Zhang Yaran said, and at the same time he stepped into the door, he asked Zhou Yanchi what he wanted to do.
Zhou Yanchi said that you came just in time to help me see how many gray hairs I have.
Shen Chu's words were still stuck in his throat, so he was inexplicably dragged to check Zhou Yanchi's hair.Then he said angrily, are you sick? Just one or two sticks, you worry about your head.
Zhou Yanchi said that I have many wrinkles on my face.
"..."
Shen Chu held his breath and said that you are so good that you can act in TV dramas of idols aged seventeen or eighteen.
Zhou Yanchi then said that since this is the case, then I am not old.
"You old fart!" Shen Chu finally broke out, pointing at him with his hands on his hips and said loudly, "You still have time to worry about your old face! You just wait for the stock price of Yuanheng to plummet! After a year, the entire Yuanheng Group I think it’s all over! You have forgotten how many Yuanheng stocks I bought under your guarantee at the beginning of this year! If you dare to get stuck, I will drag you to the underground to meet my grandfather!"
Zhou Yanchi hunched over and wiped the floor, completely ignoring Shen Chu's jumping feet.When the living room was basically wiped down, only Shen Chu was left. He touched his trousers with a mop and said, "Lift your feet. Wipe the floor."
"..." Shen Chu was silent for two seconds, and said angrily, "Wipe your grandma's leg!"
The person Du Ruoheng attended was Su Qiu.She went on a business trip abroad and brought some duty-free skin care products for Du Ruoheng, and asked her how she was doing while handing them over to her.Du Ruoheng was silent for a while, and said, "There are a lot of recent stories, which one do you want to hear about?"
It was half an hour after she explained clearly the changes of these days, Su Qiu was stunned when she heard it, and finally came back to her senses after a long while: "Kang Chen really intends to use you as a woman?"
"Only he knows the answer to this question." Du Ruoheng explained to her, "I repeat, this is not why we broke up."
"I understand. Differences in concepts and ideas are all too great." Su Qiu's thoughts finally became clear, "There is no other way. Besides, you won't give Kang Chen the second chance like you did to Zhou Yanchi." The first and second and a half opportunities to make up for the correction."
Du Ruoheng said where did the second half come from.
Su Qiu said that the two of you are now.
Du Ruoheng didn't reply for a while, then suddenly sighed.
Under Su Qiu's eyes, she directly admitted: "I don't know."
"Zhou Yanchi signed a share transfer with you, do you want to sign?"
Du Ruoheng answered decisively this time: "Sign."
"why?"
"Why didn't you sign it?" Du Ruoheng had a faint smile on his face, "Didn't you say that every man who cheated should have his wife and children scattered and his family broken up? Once Zhou Yanchi signed, except for the last two words, he basically It's all come true."
"I'm asking you. I'm not asking Zhou Yanchi who suddenly found out his conscience."
Du Ruoheng was quiet before saying, "I just figured it out suddenly. It's not worth embarrassing myself for his money."
When Du Ruoheng came home in the evening, he saw the soft light in the apartment's kitchen from downstairs.Zhou Yanchi was busy by the window, going back and forth, Du Ruoheng was not in a particularly good mood when he saw him, but seeing this scene inexplicably relieved him.
When she got home, she was greeted by a fairly neat and orderly environment, the windows were so bright that they reflected a little bit of starlight.There is a sumptuous dinner on the table, which is delicious in color, fragrance and taste.Du Ruoheng saw Zhou Yanchi come out of the kitchen, wearing a light-colored shirt with cuffs rolled up to the forearm, and a red floral apron outside.
He greeted her for dinner with a casual attitude, but Du Ruoheng couldn't help but stared at him for a long time before walking over.
She smiled and said to him: "From now on, how about you taking care of your daughter full-time at home? Let Titi transfer her school back to T city."
Zhou Yanchi pondered for a while before opening his mouth: "If you are willing to go back together, yes."
The two sat face to face and ate silently. The dishes were good, and Du Ruoheng was in a good mood. Occasionally, he thought of a topic and wanted to chat with someone. Seeing Zhou Yanchi's face, he thought for a while and swallowed it all.
Zhou Yanchi explained that the housekeeper would send Titi to City S tomorrow.
Du Ruoheng snorted.
The two remained silent for a while.All of a sudden, he brought her a piece of beef brisket.
Du Ruoheng's chopsticks stopped and stared at the piece of beef for a long time, until Zhou Yanchi said, "It's fine if you don't want to eat it, don't stare at it, it didn't offend you."
It's rare for him to be able to tell a bad joke, which can be regarded as a sign of progress.Du Ruoheng swallowed the beef brisket while Zhou Yanchi went to refill his meal.After Zhou Yanchi came back, he took a look, and when he sat down, he raised his eyebrows and eyes, a little relieved.
Du Ruoheng didn't want to see any relief or happy expression on his face.She said to him blankly: "Throw it in the trash can. I think it's an eyesore."
After a while, he finally said, "Don't waste food."
"honestly."
After a while, I heard him say: "...don't do this to me, okay?"
"Don't force it, I won't do that either."
Zhou Yanchi's complexion was somewhat ugly.
Du Ruoheng doesn't like Zhou Yanchi's behavior, which is the so-called "I treat you well, you have to follow, otherwise you have no winks, no EQ and no understanding".Even if he won't admit it, that's how it feels.Over the past so many years, Zhou Yanchi still hasn't been able to get rid of this arbitrary character.It seems that this is already the case in the bones, and even in the past few decades, there will still not be much change.
But on the other hand, he did give all that he could.Du Ruoheng was not interested in Yuanheng's shares, but it was Zhou Yanzhi's favorite.From the custody of her daughter at the beginning to Yuan Heng's absolute right to dispose of it now, Du Ruoheng doubted whether Zhou Yanchi had regretted doing so.His appearance is too calm, she can't accurately grasp his psychology.
After dinner, Zhou Yanchi took the initiative to wash the dishes, while Du Ruoheng walked around the living room with nothing to do.She just quit her job and hasn't adjusted to the idle life yet.Finally, she leaned against the kitchen door and watched Zhou Yanchi move.Watch him put the bowls neatly into the disinfection cabinet, and wipe the counter very clean.
Zhou Yanchi asked her what she was thinking.
Du Ruoheng was silent for a while, and then said: "I remember you used to be quite nagging, but recently you don't talk much."
He said, "I'm afraid you'll be bored."
Du Ruoheng was a little speechless, so he could only say, "It's quite annoying."
Zhou Yanchi stood there and paused for a while, then he asked, "Did Kang Chen cook for you like this before? Which one is more to your liking, me or him?"
Du Ruoheng said, "You better shut up. It's really annoying."
She turned around and walked to the living room. Zhou Yanchi took off his rubber gloves and followed her chattering endlessly: "You can't like his Western style. That man has been abroad for more than 20 years, except for some buttered bread. He's useless."
Du Ruoheng said: "Shut up or not? Then get out."
The world is finally quiet.
That night Zhou Yanchi continued to sleep on the sofa in the living room.Du Ruoheng's guest room was locked by her, and he couldn't enter.The next morning, the old butler brought Zhou Titi over.At that time Zhou Yanchi was mopping the floor, the old butler came in and was shocked for a long time before he murmured: "Young Master, Young Master, have you worked hard? Or let me do it!"
Zhou Yanchi told him to rest without expression.Zhou Titi raised her face, her eyes kept scanning between her father and mother.Zhou Yanchi's expression was normal, but Du Ruoheng was a little uncomfortable. She told Zhou Yanchi that you should stop and go back to T city now, and the housekeepers are here to pick you up.
Zhou Yanchi said that I would drag the floor before leaving.
Du Ruoheng's face turned cold: "Are you going or not?"
Zhou Yanchi recognized her expression, and finally he left.He didn't bring anything with him when he came, and it was easy to leave.Du Ruoheng really wanted Zhou Yanchi to take the whole set of toiletries he bought in S City yesterday and throw them into the trash can, but in the end she failed to do so under Zhou Titi's nose.
Zhou Yanchi walked to the door, turned around, looked at her for a while, and said, can I come back next week?
Du Ruoheng was still holding her daughter Zhou Titi in her hands, and she pretended not to hear his question.
Zhou Yanchi slowly deliberated and continued: "Or, you and Zhou Titi moved back to T City, which is no different from here."
Zhou Titi raised her face and said to Du Ruoheng, "Mom, I met Xi Ruichen in T City. I found that his school is very close to Dad's house."
Zhou Yanchi wanted to add more when his phone rang.The caller indicated that it was Zhou's father. As soon as he picked up the call, he heard the anxious question from the other side: "You are crazy, you transfer all the shares to Du Ruoheng!"
Father Zhou's voice was so loud that everyone around could hear it.Zhou Yanzhi subconsciously rubbed the center of his brows and said how could you know.
"If Shen Chu hadn't told me, I would have been kept in the dark! Whether you signed it or not, if you didn't sign it, take it back immediately!" Zhou's father said majesticly, "If you want to compensate Xiao Du, what can you give? A house and a car The cash is up to you! You are doing well now, you are really generous! The control of such a huge Yuanheng is easily given to a woman, what do you make the shareholders of Yuanheng think, what do the directors of the board of directors think! As the highest Commander, how could you act so irresponsibly!"
After Zhou Yanchi listened, he said lightly, "You don't need to worry so much when you live abroad to take care of your old age."
Zhou's father became more and more angry: "What tone are you talking about?! Look at what you have done in the past few years. Half of the divorce is not enough, and now they are all given away! I think Yuan Heng's invincibility is due to you You will not be reconciled in your hands!"
Zhou Yanchi rubbed his eyebrows and waited for the other side to finish speaking, then said, "If not, why don't you let me spend the rest of my life alone."
"Yuanheng is in your hands, so why are you afraid that you won't be able to find a woman!" Father Zhou continued to admonish severely, "As long as you are a successful man, there is no such thing as a considerate woman in this world, I can't figure it out." , why are you so obsessed with your ex-wife!"
Zhou Yanchi said simply: "Remember to say hello to mother for me." After speaking, he hung up the phone.
The corridor was silent, Du Ruoheng lowered his eyes, covered Zhou Titi's ears, and forbade her to listen from the first two sentences.The butler looked up at the ceiling, thinking that the street lamps in Zhou's house could be replaced with this style.
Zhou Yanchi looked at Du Ruoheng for a while, but the latter didn't turn his head at all.Finally he whispered, "Don't take it to heart."
Du Ruoheng said coldly, "You should go."
Zhou Titi ran to the window to watch her father leave, and waved farewell to him.Her expression was very reluctant to part, and she was still looking out with her chin resting on her chin when the figure was gone.Du Ruoheng stroked her daughter's back and asked her softly how she was doing in T City these days.
Zhou Titi said it was fine without much interest.Then I stopped talking, and I didn't chatter like usual to share anecdotes with my mother.The mood looked a little gloomy.
In order to coax her, Du Ruoheng said, how about we go to the aquarium on weekends.
Zhou Titi said that I went there when I was in T City.
Du Ruoheng smiled and said, "Then let's go eat fast food? Then go ride the Ferris wheel, shall we?"
Zhou Titi still shook her head.
Du Ruoheng had no choice.Zhou Titi looked at her suddenly: "Mom, you resigned from the hotel, right?"
"……Correct."
"why?"
"Mom wants to take a break for a while."
"I heard that you broke up with Uncle Kang Chen."
"That's right." Du Ruoheng corrected her a little, "Your Uncle Kang Chen and I broke up peacefully."
"Why did you break up?"
Du Ruoheng said softly: "We both think it's more appropriate to be friends in the future."
Zhou Titi groaned, her small face was thoughtful, wondering whether she understood or not.After a while, she suddenly raised her head again and looked at her with bright eyes: "In this case, as Dad said, can't we go back to T city to live together? I want to go back to T city to go to school, can I?"
Du Ruoheng looked at her daughter with complicated eyes, and wanted to ask her if the housekeeper taught her to speak like this.
Zhou Titi got tired of coming up, got into her mother's arms, whimpering and acting like a baby.It was a trick she didn't use very often, which made it more effective.Du Ruoheng felt soft-hearted, she met Zhou Titi's begging eyes, and almost blurted out a good word.
Finally, she asked softly, "Why do you want to go back to T City?"
Zhou Titi emphasized her tone: "I want to go back with my mother."
"Why do you want to go back with your mother?"
Zhou Titi thought for a while, and then replied, "I don't think you are very happy, Mom, living in S City."
Du Ruoheng felt a little sour in her heart, and she almost sighed.She caressed her daughter's back back and forth, and Zhou Titi asked her, "Is it okay?"
Du Ruoheng seemed to have finally made up his mind: "Okay."
Zhou Titi cheered enthusiastically, and turned around to call Zhou Yanchi.Stopped by Du Ruoheng, she smiled and changed the subject: "Hey, do you want some ice cream? Let's go out."
The mother and daughter went to the mall for a day, and Zhou Titi slept with her mother at night.She has been learning to be independent since the Spring Festival this year, and she lived in two rooms with her mother when she was in S city.When he returned to T City, he reverted to his old ways, and always asked Zhou Yanchi to sleep in the same room.
The little girl was pampered by her father in every possible way, and the result of being spoiled to no end was that the good habits developed in S City would disappear all at once when her father saw her.Zhou Yanchi's education for his daughter is basically tantamount to doting, and Kang Chen can't indulge like that.
After all, Zhou Titi is just a seven-year-old girl, and her biological father spoiled her so much that she will be obedient, so she will not become more dependent on other people than she is on Zhou Yanchi.There is a natural bond of blood, and there is also Zhou Yanchi's impeccable win over the day after tomorrow.
Zhou Yanchi didn't put much effort into loving his daughter.His idea is very simple, he subconsciously devotes great efforts to this child, this is the treasure in his eyes.
After turning off the lights in the bedroom, Zhou Titi rolled under the quilt into her mother's arms, with her feet hanging on Du Ruoheng's waist, and told her Mom, Dad misses you very much.
Du Ruoheng smiled and pinched the base of her nose, saying how do you know.
"I just know. Dad has been waiting for you to come home. Your things in the house have not been touched. The grandpa housekeeper cleans the cloakroom and dresser you used to use every day. No one can move. Even Dad is very careful when touching .”
Zhou Titi went on to say: "And daddy only sleeps on half of the bed in the bedroom. When I sleep with him, we sleep on half together, and the other half is always reserved for you."
Even in the dark, Du Ruoheng could feel Zhou Titi's staring eyes.
Du Ruoheng said that according to your observation, is father behaving well? Does he leave early and return late?
Zhou Titi thought for a while, and replied: "Father is very good, and he has never been accompanied by a beautiful sister."
"..."
Zhou Titi fell asleep very early, and Du Ruoheng woke up until midnight with her eyes open.
She promised Zhou Titi in the morning that a large part of it was to take care of her daughter's psychology.Zhou Titi started elementary school, and her mind is more sensitive and delicate now than it was three years ago.She is very smart, she is fluent in everything she learns, and she has cultivated high emotional intelligence from somewhere. A seven-year-old girl sometimes looks at problems like a little adult, with all-round and multi-angle, kind and considerate.The older Zhou Titi grows up, the less she will lose her temper. She is more sensible and interesting than Du Ruoheng.
Du Ruoheng had to reflect on the impact of his divorce from Zhou Yanchi on his daughter.In short, the disadvantages outweigh the advantages.Assuming that they can remain in love as before, Zhou Titi must be more cheerful and lively than now.
Returning to T city does not mean the reunion between the two adults, but just to appease Zhou Titi's psychology.If most of the negative emotions towards Zhou Yanzhi can be eliminated, there will be no difference between staying in S city and staying in T city.Du Ruoheng thought, anyway, she was ready to leave T city again at any time, she brought Zhou Titi back now, just for her daughter's physical and mental health, no matter what Zhou Yanchi did in the future, she would not suffer any further blows.If his behavior is so immoral that she loses her dignity again in T city, she will just leave.
Once you have no expectations, you have nothing to fear.
The next day Du Ruoheng went to school to go through the transfer procedures with Zhou Titi, and Zhou Yanchi called.
His voice sounded calm: "Titi called and told me that you are going to bring her back to T City."
Du Ruoheng said coldly: "Titi is too sensitive, I plan to take her to the Psychology Department of Children's Hospital in the next two days."
Zhou Yanchi said that I will be with you.
Du Ruoheng said, "Please don't make trouble."
Zhou Yanchi waited for a while, as if he had something to say, Du Ruoheng took the first step: "Don't get me wrong. Zhou Titi is the one who wants to go back to T City, and I just went to study with him."
"Titi wants more than that."
"I know. But nothing else is possible."
She spoke so decisively that Zhou Yanchi didn't reply for a while.Then he asked her if there was anything she could do for her.
Du Ruoheng said no.
"Do you need someone to pick you up?"
"Need not."
Du Ruoheng received a call from lawyer Zhang Yiming in the afternoon, and the two made an appointment in a coffee shop to follow the procedure.Du Ruoheng skimmed through the contract before signing it. In addition to transferring all the shares, Zhou Yanchi also had a property included in the agreement.
Du Ruoheng asked the lawyer: "Apart from these, what property does he have left?"
Zhang Yiming said, "There's nothing left. Only the real estate of Zhou's house and some cash are left."
Du Ruoheng lowered his head to sign, without any further hesitation when signing, but Zhang Yiming looked a little dazed.The two chatted for a while after signing, Zhang Yiming finally couldn't hold back, saying that he couldn't see through the circle of T City, why everyone regarded money as a joke.
He said: "A few days ago, I also accepted the entrustment of another lady. She decided to transfer all the property under her name to her ex-husband. At that time, she seemed to be quite reluctant. Most likely it was because my eyes were red from crying and I couldn’t see people. But I still signed the documents without hesitation. Now Mr. Zhou is the same way. He doesn’t want all his wealth, and treats money like dung. Can you tell me about it? Why do you do such a thing that ordinary people can't even figure out?"
Du Ruoheng was stunned for a while, then came back to his senses, and asked with a slight smile, "Lawyer Zhang, are you married?"
The other party pointed to the empty ring finger: "I'm divorced."
Du Ruoheng had a clear expression: "No wonder."
In the evening, Du Ruoheng received a call from Su Qiu, who asked if he had heard any news about T City. The major shareholders of Yuanheng were about to be driven crazy by Zhou Yan, and the stock price of Yuanheng would definitely drop sharply tomorrow.
Du Ruoheng was making custard for Zhou Titi in the kitchen, holding the phone to her ear, saying she hadn't heard of it.
Su Qiu said in an optimistic tone: "I will definitely buy Yuanheng's stock tomorrow. Buy low and sell high, and after a while, I will definitely double my profit."
Du Ruoheng said with a smile: "You are so confident. You may fall all the way."
Su Qiu said how is it possible, anyway, the next CEO will be Zhou Yanchi, I don't approve of his character, but I am more optimistic about his business experience.
Du Ruoheng was silent for a while, and couldn't help but say how did you know that, I never said who I would choose as my agent.
Su Qiu said casually: "Who else can you choose except Zhou Yanchi. Zhou Yanchi has mixed reputation among the top management, but with that face and strong wrist, he is pretty good among the grassroots employees. After all, you are not that This kind of person who is so stupid that he has to drag a large group to be buried with him because of personal feelings. Except for Zhou Yanchi, it is difficult for you to choose a second candidate. Kang Chen? I would rather believe that you would rather find a headhunter to choose an outsider than Kang Chen."
"why?"
"You don't want Zhou Titi to hate you because of this when she grows up. She loves her father so much."
"..."
Half an hour later, Du Ruoheng received a call from Du's mother.She said on the phone that she had learned what happened, and then said: "Yan Chi has already achieved this, and you should remarry him."
Du Ruoheng handed the custard to Zhou Titi, and walked to the balcony by himself: "You refused to call me once for three years, and now you are calling me because you want to tell me this?"
Du's mother said calmly: "Since Yan Chi already knew his mistake, and now he has handed over all his wealth to you, what else can you not be satisfied with? Prisoners still have time to serve their sentences. After serving their sentences, they will come out in peace Just being a human being. According to your theory, is it possible that as long as a person commits a crime, there is no chance of forgiveness?"
"What's more, there is Titi between you." Mother Du taught her, "That's fine, don't go too far."
Du Ruoheng resisted the impulse, and said flatly, "You don't understand the whole reason."
Du's mother said lightly: "You think this is a new thing? There are so many men cheating in this world, and you are the only one who takes this kind of thing seriously. How is life better after your divorce than before? A single woman with a daughter, That's how I came here back then, do you think I don't understand the sadness in it?"
"..."
"Furthermore, if Yan Chi is really tortured to death by you one day, will you be willing?" Mother Du said, "I taught you a long time ago that you should know when to stop doing things."
Du Ruoheng was speechless at all.Feeling cold and hot, listening to Du's mother hanging up the phone over there.
She felt a little uncomfortable, sitting in the hanging chair on the balcony, pulling the weeds in the pot of spider plants in front of her.Not long after, she received the third call of the night, and it took her a long time to hear it, and then she saw the name of the caller, Kang Chen, flashing.
Du Ruoheng picked it up, paused for a moment, and then said in a low voice: "I'm Kang Chen."
"I know."
"You still need my seal for your resignation procedures. I'm sorry that I have a lot of things to do in the past two days, so I haven't had time to handle this matter." He said, "I'll go back to S City tomorrow to deal with it."
Du Ruoheng said he was in no hurry.
Both were silent for a while.Kang Chen said, "I should apologize to you."
Du Ruoheng subconsciously asked, "Why?"
Kang Chen smiled wryly because of her answer, and said after a while: "I will call you when I go back to Jingman tomorrow."
From the bottom of his heart, Du Ruoheng had a deep affection for Jing Man.After all, she has spent a lot of effort in it for five years.Sometimes Du Ruoheng was on the night shift, and she had no choice but to take Zhou Titi to the hotel office.Because of this, Wang Feifei said that it was not easy for her. A single mother with her daughter and assisting in the management of a huge five-star hotel must be physically and mentally exhausted every day.
Kang Chen had said similar things before.After Du Ruoheng came back from a business trip for half a month, he was considerate of her hard work and massaged her shoulders, but the more he massaged Du Ruoheng, the more nervous he became, sitting there so stiff that Kang Chen had to smile all the time to let her relax.
But few have suggested she resign.Most people think that Du Ruoheng is suitable for the job of hotel management. Three years later, Du Ruoheng's excellent reputation has added the adjective of being gentle and patient. The hotel staff basically recognize her ability to handle affairs and take her for granted. Like and do the job well.Only Zhou Yanchi vaguely mentioned resignation. He said that she is not suitable for complicated personnel work, and it may be more suitable to do a clean scientific research.
In a certain sense, Du Ruoheng hid himself very deeply.Most of the time, she wears a mask to show the world, and things like dignity become more stubborn as she grows older, and now she doesn't even want anyone to see her vulnerable side, even if the other party is her relatives.So if you look at it from this aspect, Zhou Yanchi is more precious. He is seven years older than her, he tolerates all her advantages and disadvantages, and has multiple identities of father, brother and lover.This is the result of years of running-in when both parties are willing.If Zhou Yanchi had never been unfaithful, Du Ruoheng must have lived a very happy life.
This is where the real sticking point lies.Now that Du Ruoheng has confirmed one thing, even if there are a hundred outstanding men to choose as her husband, she will still choose Zhou Yanchi more than half of the time.She confirmed that it is difficult for her to have the mood to get along with each other slowly. Besides, she still has emotional cleanliness, and she doesn't have that much confidence to believe that if it takes another seven or eight years, she can trust Zhou Yanchi like she used to. Another person.
But at the same time, Zhou Yanchi made her feel like a stick in her throat.Obviously his posture is very low now, if Du Ruoheng is willing, he can already let her come and go as she pleases, but Du Ruoheng still feels impetuous.
It's not like she didn't have a wavering thought about getting back together, but she was denied it without hesitation.She has no confidence in him, and she has no confidence in herself.The more I think about it, the more hopeless I feel.
(End of this chapter)
Zhou Yanchi stood in the living room for a while, then went to the kitchen alone to get food.
Now Du Ruoheng takes good care of himself. The kitchen is fully equipped with signs of being used; there is plenty of food in the refrigerator, including vegetables, meat, melons and fruits, as well as a few snacks and two good-looking ones. cake.
The last time Zhou Yanchi stepped here was three years ago. At that time, Du Ruoheng's kitchen was tidy and spacious, and it looked like a model room advertisement posted by real estate.Now it is very lively here, and it can be seen that the owner has spent a lot of interest and time on it.
This made Zhou Yanchi somewhat uncomfortable.No matter from any aspect, it can be seen that Du Ruoheng has been able to take charge of her own side. She lives an independent and free life, very chic, full of positive atmosphere, and has no regrets.She was already able to be self-sufficient both materially and spiritually, and she no longer needed him at all. This was a fact, and he couldn't help denying it.
Zhou Yanchi found some ingredients to make porridge, then knocked on the bedroom door, and asked Du Ruoheng if he wanted to eat some together.
It took a long while before a voice came out from inside, saying that he didn't want to eat without any interest.
So Zhou Yanchi sat in front of the dining table and ate dinner alone.After eating, I went to wash the dishes and tidy up everything, and went back to the living room to watch TV alone.
In fact, he has been in this state for the past two years, no matter what he does, he is alone.It was okay when he was outside, his identity determined that no matter where he went, it would be very lively, surrounded by stars and moons.After returning home, it turned into a different scene. Zhou's house was much larger than Du Ruoheng's apartment, and he was the only one left besides the servants, so it seemed extraordinarily deserted and empty.After the car accident, Zhou Yanchi seldom ate in the restaurant seriously, and usually he asked the housekeeper to bring the meals to the study.Facing the huge restaurant alone, it was very empty, and he couldn't produce much appetite.
Some people get used to being single after a long time, but Zhou Yanchi is obviously not one of them.The butler once brought a dog to Zhou's residence, but Zhou Yanchi found it bothersome, so he asked him to send it back within two days.
After Shen Chu found out, he said that he had many problems.Then he said: "It's so desolate, you should go find another one. Since you haven't kept everything you should have, why bother to force it? It's better to seek a new life as soon as possible."
Zhou Yanchi rubbed his eyebrows and ignored it, Shen Chu wanted to make noise again, he interrupted him carelessly: "I'll call Zhang Yaran over here."
Shen Chu immediately glared: "Get lost."
Anyone with a discerning eye could see Zhou Yanchi's changes in the past two years, and they laughed and asked him why he suddenly changed his mind.For this reason, someone in his small circle sent him a plaque with the word loyalty written on it.However, few people really had confidence in him. Shen Chu kept encouraging him, saying that he was the most determined person he had met in the past 30 years, but he also tested Zhou Yanchi more than once, both openly and secretly.
Zhou Yanchi has never been a person who cares about other people's eyes.But when he changes suddenly, there will inevitably be times when his will will be shaken.So he can only avoid those tempting places completely. In the past three years, he has never stepped into a sensual place, and his behavior is more strict than that of his wife.
For this reason, Shen Chu said with emotion that this was retribution, and even laughed at him for dying pitifully.
Zhou Yanchi had no interest in TV programs at first, and even more so when he watched them alone.In addition, he is still a little dizzy, which is the aftereffect of a car accident, and he will commit a crime very occasionally.He fell asleep before ten o'clock. He went to the guest room to find a blanket and just put it on his body when he heard the bedroom door being gently opened.
Du Ruoheng stood barefoot at the door.After a while she asked, "Are you asleep?"
Zhou Yanchi didn't know how to answer correctly.In the end, he chose to close his eyes and fall asleep without saying a word.
After a while, Du Ruoheng came over.Zhou Yanchi held his breath and concentrated. He noticed that she had stepped on the scarlet carpet and stood in front of the sofa for a while. Her movements covered some of the light above her head, as if she was looking at him.Then she squatted down, stretched out her hand with some hesitation, moving slowly, advancing and retreating, but finally touched the top of his head.
There is a scar there, which is the result of Zhou Yanchi's craniotomy after the car accident.As soon as Du Ruoheng touched it, his wrist trembled.The fingers left and then came back, she touched slowly from the beginning to the end, for a long time, she paused for a while before taking it back.
She looked down at him in silence.After a long while, he said coldly: "Don't pretend to be asleep when you are awake."
Zhou Yanchi slowly opened his eyes, his eyes were very gentle.
Seeing that she lowered her eyes and said nothing, he comforted her and said, "It happened a long time ago, don't worry."
Du Ruoheng suddenly said lightly: "Zhou Yanchi, you are very old now, do you know that?"
Zhou Yan hummed.
"I already have white hair, and there are small fine lines at the corners of my eyes." She thought for a while, and added, "It's a good thing you don't smile, otherwise you must be ugly and have no energy."
Zhou Yanchi couldn't cope, so he hummed again.
She added: "I don't want to get back together with you."
Zhou Yanchi said softly, "I know."
Du Ruoheng fell silent.Zhou Yanchi even breathed lightly, not daring to disturb her.After waiting for a long time, she heard her suddenly say, "What's so good about those women?"
"..."
She didn't look at him, she lowered her eyes and asked slowly: "Lan Yurou, Wen Huai, and those women I don't know, tell me, I listen, tell me, what's so good about them, huh?"
"..."
Zhou Yanchi was speechless at all.Du Ruoheng was quiet for a while, and then said: "Think about it, you just had an operation, and you can leave scars. Now you still want to erase the old things and restore your relationship. This is already impossible. What do we use to remarry, do you think I have any reason to persuade myself to remarry with you? "
She finally raised her face, her eyes were slightly red, and there was a hint of crying in the voice of questioning him: "Do you know that you are not worthy at all now."
Zhou Yanchi reached out and held her tightly in his arms, struggling together.He kissed her hair, murmured something apologetic, he kept saying sorry, it was all his fault and mistake, he gave her a pat on the back.
Du Ruoheng's hand grabbed a little bit of his flesh, and then twisted it up with all his strength as if it were a point of strength.Her back trembled deeply uncontrollably, she was agitated, she kept taking deep breaths, and almost cried, but in the end she didn't shed a single tear in front of Zhou Yanchi.
Finally she calmed down and pushed him away.
Du Ruoheng sat on the sofa opposite.Her hands were still a little cold, and she drank as much water as she could calmly.Zhou Yanchi wasn't sure if she would tell him to get out next, but in the end he didn't wait for this sentence.Du Ruoheng didn't even look at him again, and when she was completely calm, she got up and went back to the bedroom.Did not speak to him again.
Zhou Yanchi didn't fall asleep all night, and got up early the next morning, went downstairs to buy breakfast, and fried two more eggs when he came back.Du Ruoheng came out of the bedroom with slightly swollen eyelids just like him.The two had no communication all the time, they sat face to face in silence and finished breakfast. Zhou Yanchi cleaned up the kitchen as diligently as the two when they were abroad.
Then the two watched TV together in the living room, each sitting on one side of the sofa.A moment later a doorbell was heard.Zhang Yaran stepped in at the same time Du Ruoheng opened the door, and when he saw Zhou Yanchi, he almost knelt down for him: "Mr. Zhou, for the sake of master and servant for many years, can you call me back at least, okay?" Please!"
Zhou Yanchi said coldly without moving his eyebrows: "Stand up straight, the sky is not falling."
Zhang Yaran was so anxious that she was about to cry, how could she be calm, she took the first flight early in the morning to come to City S, not to talk about feelings with these two people: "Right now, the media in City T is all about you. The matter of misappropriating Yuanheng's public funds to hold a private banquet, this kind of matter has been exposed at this juncture, do you still want to keep the positions of chairman and CEO! Even if the sky is not falling, it is no different from half falling, okay?"
Du Ruoheng looked away from the TV, half looking at Zhou Yanchi.Zhang Yaran wished she could scratch her hair and go around in circles: "Can you go back to T city with me right now? Several directors are looking for you like crazy!"
Zhou Yanchi didn't even move his little finger after listening.He hummed briefly, and then said, "Ask Zhang Yiming to go over to Yuanheng this afternoon."
Zhang Yaran was stunned: "...What do you want him to do? If you want to sue Director Kang, Attorney Zhang is not the most suitable one. He is only in charge of financial cases, not this kind of..."
Zhou Yanchi said, "You asked him to draw up a property transfer agreement, which basically means that I will donate all the shares in Yuanheng to Ms. Du Ruoheng. After today, Ms. Du Ruoheng will own the property transfer agreement." Yuanheng's absolute controlling stake."
"..."
Zhang Yaran's eyes widened, and he almost blurted out - you are not dazed, are you?
Du Ruoheng's reaction was much calmer than Zhang Yaran's.She turned her face to one side, looked Zhou Yanchi up and down, then turned her head and continued watching TV.
What was playing on the screen was a childish cartoon, and Du Ruoheng couldn't take his eyes off it.It took Zhang Yaran a while to recover her voice: "What I just had was an auditory hallucination, right?"
Zhou Yanchi shattered her dream coldly: "You didn't."
"..."
"Do as I say." Zhou Yanchi thought for a moment, then changed his words, "Forget it, tell Zhang Yiming to go to Yuanheng tomorrow. Today I will temporarily live in City S."
"But……"
"No buts."
"So……"
"To shut up."
Zhang Yaran stopped talking.Zhou Yanchi said again: "Turn around, go out, and go back to T City to find Zhang Yiming. The rest of the directors will wait for me to deal with it later."
A few minutes later, Zhang Yaran left in a daze like a puppet. Du Ruoheng turned his face and looked at him with a half-smile: "No wonder you are not in a hurry to go back to T City to deal with affairs. You want to use me as a gun to help balance Kang Chen? It's too cheap to think."
Zhou Yanchi took over Yuanheng at that time, and successively obtained all the shares he held from Zhou's father.In the next few years, the veterans of Yuanheng's board of directors were constantly eliminated by him, and Zhou Yan held more and more shares. When he married Du Ruoheng, his share of Yuanheng's shares accounted for about 40.00%.After the divorce, the property was divided into half, and Zhou Yanchi was impeached by several directors including Kang Zaicheng. During that time, he successively bought back shares at high prices from many idle buyers.With the addition of the part held by Du Ruoheng, it is just over half of the total number of shares issued by Yuan Heng.
If Zhou Yanzhi really transfers all the shares, Du Ruoheng will become the largest holder of Yuanheng shares.If one day she is in a good mood and plans to disband Yuan Heng, no one can say no.But on the other hand, what Kang Chen was determined to win was Zhou Yanchi's original chairman and CEO positions. If Zhou Yanchi grasped Du Ruoheng's desire not to leave Yuanheng's CEO position to Kang Chen, Then he took this step very well, directly making all of Kang Chen's efforts go to waste.
After hearing her words, Zhou Yanchi rubbed his eyebrows again."That's not it," he said.
"How is that?"
Zhou Yanchi was silent for a while.
Du Ruoheng looked at him with her chin propped up, and she asked him, "How long have you been planning this?"
Zhou Yanchi said, "Can we not use the word planning?"
Du Ruoheng smiled and said honestly, "You handed me such a big piece of cake all of a sudden, I dare not accept it."
Zhou Yanchi helplessly explained: "I never thought of plotting against you. Wouldn't it be nice to hold these things? At least you can manipulate anyone within a certain range. This will let you breathe a sigh of relief."
To a certain extent, he felt a little helpless about the current state of the two of them getting along.Every sentence had to explain the cause and effect. If the two of them still had a five-point tacit understanding, Du Ruoheng would not have asked him the question just now.
The trust and tacit understanding between the two need to be re-established, which is more difficult than when the two first met more than ten years ago.Zhou Yanchi needs to be extra cautious.What makes it even more difficult for him is that he has no new way to bring the two back to the past quickly.
If the future must be the person in front of him, he can only wait.Or three years, or five years, or even longer.He wasn't really sure.
Du Ruoheng frowned and remained silent.Her hands were clasped together, her fingers were slender and pale.The sun shines through the window, looking from the side, her chin is slightly raised.It gives people the illusion that it is still the same as it was back then.Zhou Yanchi withdrew his gaze lightly, and said, "If you don't want to do this, can we just be ordinary friends first?"
Du Ruoheng raised his eyelids and looked at him: "Ordinary friends don't pose such difficult problems to people."
"Don't take it as a burden. After signing the agreement, you will be the biggest director. No one else dares to embarrass you." Zhou Yanchi said, "Being an investor is more worry-free than being a manager. You can find a headhunter for you." With a suitable executive, Yuan Heng will still be managed in an orderly manner."
Du Ruoheng suddenly said: "Why do you want to look far away, I think Kang Chen is already very suitable."
These words made Zhou Yan feel uncomfortable, his face changed a little, but in the end he still responded as calmly as possible: "If you like, you can."
Du Ruoheng smiled.She said: "You should really let yourself see how inconsistent your attitude is. You see, we cannot be so-called ordinary friends. Ordinary friends can indeed tolerate inconsistent value orientations, but ordinary friends will not try to interfere and criticize Each other's private lives."
Zhou Yanchi said: "Our value orientation will remain the same in the future."
Du Ruoheng's face turned cold."Don't make that kind of promise again," she said.
The atmosphere between the two became a little stagnant.After a while, he hesitated and asked, "Do you still have good feelings for me?"
Du Ruoheng said without expression: "Don't say such things again."
In the afternoon, Du Ruoheng got a call and wanted to go out.Zhou Yanchi asked her where she was going and when she would come back, but she didn't answer, and Zhou Yanchi was not allowed to follow.Zhou Yanchi then asked what I was doing, and Du Ruoheng said that it was not your freedom to go where, and I didn't put you in confinement.
Zhou Yanchi looked at her silently.So Du Ruoheng changed his words again, saying that you can go to No. 139 South Road.
It was the largest local gold selling cave in S City, singing and dancing every night, and the radiant light could be seen from several kilometers away.Zhou Yanchi stared at her with a slightly hurt expression on his face.Du Ruoheng then changed his words again: "Either you can do housework at home. I'll settle your wages according to the quality later." After finishing speaking, she closed the door and left with her bag.
Zhou Yanchi then devoted himself to doing housework in Du Ruoheng's apartment, wearing a red floral apron in front of him.His cleaning attitude is more careful than looking at the company's contract. He must make sure that there is no dust visible to the naked eye in every place.It wasn't until more than an hour later that Shen Chu knocked on the door.
Shen Chu was originally holding a business meeting at the S City Development Zone, and immediately rushed over after hearing what Zhang Yaran said, and at the same time he stepped into the door, he asked Zhou Yanchi what he wanted to do.
Zhou Yanchi said that you came just in time to help me see how many gray hairs I have.
Shen Chu's words were still stuck in his throat, so he was inexplicably dragged to check Zhou Yanchi's hair.Then he said angrily, are you sick? Just one or two sticks, you worry about your head.
Zhou Yanchi said that I have many wrinkles on my face.
"..."
Shen Chu held his breath and said that you are so good that you can act in TV dramas of idols aged seventeen or eighteen.
Zhou Yanchi then said that since this is the case, then I am not old.
"You old fart!" Shen Chu finally broke out, pointing at him with his hands on his hips and said loudly, "You still have time to worry about your old face! You just wait for the stock price of Yuanheng to plummet! After a year, the entire Yuanheng Group I think it’s all over! You have forgotten how many Yuanheng stocks I bought under your guarantee at the beginning of this year! If you dare to get stuck, I will drag you to the underground to meet my grandfather!"
Zhou Yanchi hunched over and wiped the floor, completely ignoring Shen Chu's jumping feet.When the living room was basically wiped down, only Shen Chu was left. He touched his trousers with a mop and said, "Lift your feet. Wipe the floor."
"..." Shen Chu was silent for two seconds, and said angrily, "Wipe your grandma's leg!"
The person Du Ruoheng attended was Su Qiu.She went on a business trip abroad and brought some duty-free skin care products for Du Ruoheng, and asked her how she was doing while handing them over to her.Du Ruoheng was silent for a while, and said, "There are a lot of recent stories, which one do you want to hear about?"
It was half an hour after she explained clearly the changes of these days, Su Qiu was stunned when she heard it, and finally came back to her senses after a long while: "Kang Chen really intends to use you as a woman?"
"Only he knows the answer to this question." Du Ruoheng explained to her, "I repeat, this is not why we broke up."
"I understand. Differences in concepts and ideas are all too great." Su Qiu's thoughts finally became clear, "There is no other way. Besides, you won't give Kang Chen the second chance like you did to Zhou Yanchi." The first and second and a half opportunities to make up for the correction."
Du Ruoheng said where did the second half come from.
Su Qiu said that the two of you are now.
Du Ruoheng didn't reply for a while, then suddenly sighed.
Under Su Qiu's eyes, she directly admitted: "I don't know."
"Zhou Yanchi signed a share transfer with you, do you want to sign?"
Du Ruoheng answered decisively this time: "Sign."
"why?"
"Why didn't you sign it?" Du Ruoheng had a faint smile on his face, "Didn't you say that every man who cheated should have his wife and children scattered and his family broken up? Once Zhou Yanchi signed, except for the last two words, he basically It's all come true."
"I'm asking you. I'm not asking Zhou Yanchi who suddenly found out his conscience."
Du Ruoheng was quiet before saying, "I just figured it out suddenly. It's not worth embarrassing myself for his money."
When Du Ruoheng came home in the evening, he saw the soft light in the apartment's kitchen from downstairs.Zhou Yanchi was busy by the window, going back and forth, Du Ruoheng was not in a particularly good mood when he saw him, but seeing this scene inexplicably relieved him.
When she got home, she was greeted by a fairly neat and orderly environment, the windows were so bright that they reflected a little bit of starlight.There is a sumptuous dinner on the table, which is delicious in color, fragrance and taste.Du Ruoheng saw Zhou Yanchi come out of the kitchen, wearing a light-colored shirt with cuffs rolled up to the forearm, and a red floral apron outside.
He greeted her for dinner with a casual attitude, but Du Ruoheng couldn't help but stared at him for a long time before walking over.
She smiled and said to him: "From now on, how about you taking care of your daughter full-time at home? Let Titi transfer her school back to T city."
Zhou Yanchi pondered for a while before opening his mouth: "If you are willing to go back together, yes."
The two sat face to face and ate silently. The dishes were good, and Du Ruoheng was in a good mood. Occasionally, he thought of a topic and wanted to chat with someone. Seeing Zhou Yanchi's face, he thought for a while and swallowed it all.
Zhou Yanchi explained that the housekeeper would send Titi to City S tomorrow.
Du Ruoheng snorted.
The two remained silent for a while.All of a sudden, he brought her a piece of beef brisket.
Du Ruoheng's chopsticks stopped and stared at the piece of beef for a long time, until Zhou Yanchi said, "It's fine if you don't want to eat it, don't stare at it, it didn't offend you."
It's rare for him to be able to tell a bad joke, which can be regarded as a sign of progress.Du Ruoheng swallowed the beef brisket while Zhou Yanchi went to refill his meal.After Zhou Yanchi came back, he took a look, and when he sat down, he raised his eyebrows and eyes, a little relieved.
Du Ruoheng didn't want to see any relief or happy expression on his face.She said to him blankly: "Throw it in the trash can. I think it's an eyesore."
After a while, he finally said, "Don't waste food."
"honestly."
After a while, I heard him say: "...don't do this to me, okay?"
"Don't force it, I won't do that either."
Zhou Yanchi's complexion was somewhat ugly.
Du Ruoheng doesn't like Zhou Yanchi's behavior, which is the so-called "I treat you well, you have to follow, otherwise you have no winks, no EQ and no understanding".Even if he won't admit it, that's how it feels.Over the past so many years, Zhou Yanchi still hasn't been able to get rid of this arbitrary character.It seems that this is already the case in the bones, and even in the past few decades, there will still not be much change.
But on the other hand, he did give all that he could.Du Ruoheng was not interested in Yuanheng's shares, but it was Zhou Yanzhi's favorite.From the custody of her daughter at the beginning to Yuan Heng's absolute right to dispose of it now, Du Ruoheng doubted whether Zhou Yanchi had regretted doing so.His appearance is too calm, she can't accurately grasp his psychology.
After dinner, Zhou Yanchi took the initiative to wash the dishes, while Du Ruoheng walked around the living room with nothing to do.She just quit her job and hasn't adjusted to the idle life yet.Finally, she leaned against the kitchen door and watched Zhou Yanchi move.Watch him put the bowls neatly into the disinfection cabinet, and wipe the counter very clean.
Zhou Yanchi asked her what she was thinking.
Du Ruoheng was silent for a while, and then said: "I remember you used to be quite nagging, but recently you don't talk much."
He said, "I'm afraid you'll be bored."
Du Ruoheng was a little speechless, so he could only say, "It's quite annoying."
Zhou Yanchi stood there and paused for a while, then he asked, "Did Kang Chen cook for you like this before? Which one is more to your liking, me or him?"
Du Ruoheng said, "You better shut up. It's really annoying."
She turned around and walked to the living room. Zhou Yanchi took off his rubber gloves and followed her chattering endlessly: "You can't like his Western style. That man has been abroad for more than 20 years, except for some buttered bread. He's useless."
Du Ruoheng said: "Shut up or not? Then get out."
The world is finally quiet.
That night Zhou Yanchi continued to sleep on the sofa in the living room.Du Ruoheng's guest room was locked by her, and he couldn't enter.The next morning, the old butler brought Zhou Titi over.At that time Zhou Yanchi was mopping the floor, the old butler came in and was shocked for a long time before he murmured: "Young Master, Young Master, have you worked hard? Or let me do it!"
Zhou Yanchi told him to rest without expression.Zhou Titi raised her face, her eyes kept scanning between her father and mother.Zhou Yanchi's expression was normal, but Du Ruoheng was a little uncomfortable. She told Zhou Yanchi that you should stop and go back to T city now, and the housekeepers are here to pick you up.
Zhou Yanchi said that I would drag the floor before leaving.
Du Ruoheng's face turned cold: "Are you going or not?"
Zhou Yanchi recognized her expression, and finally he left.He didn't bring anything with him when he came, and it was easy to leave.Du Ruoheng really wanted Zhou Yanchi to take the whole set of toiletries he bought in S City yesterday and throw them into the trash can, but in the end she failed to do so under Zhou Titi's nose.
Zhou Yanchi walked to the door, turned around, looked at her for a while, and said, can I come back next week?
Du Ruoheng was still holding her daughter Zhou Titi in her hands, and she pretended not to hear his question.
Zhou Yanchi slowly deliberated and continued: "Or, you and Zhou Titi moved back to T City, which is no different from here."
Zhou Titi raised her face and said to Du Ruoheng, "Mom, I met Xi Ruichen in T City. I found that his school is very close to Dad's house."
Zhou Yanchi wanted to add more when his phone rang.The caller indicated that it was Zhou's father. As soon as he picked up the call, he heard the anxious question from the other side: "You are crazy, you transfer all the shares to Du Ruoheng!"
Father Zhou's voice was so loud that everyone around could hear it.Zhou Yanzhi subconsciously rubbed the center of his brows and said how could you know.
"If Shen Chu hadn't told me, I would have been kept in the dark! Whether you signed it or not, if you didn't sign it, take it back immediately!" Zhou's father said majesticly, "If you want to compensate Xiao Du, what can you give? A house and a car The cash is up to you! You are doing well now, you are really generous! The control of such a huge Yuanheng is easily given to a woman, what do you make the shareholders of Yuanheng think, what do the directors of the board of directors think! As the highest Commander, how could you act so irresponsibly!"
After Zhou Yanchi listened, he said lightly, "You don't need to worry so much when you live abroad to take care of your old age."
Zhou's father became more and more angry: "What tone are you talking about?! Look at what you have done in the past few years. Half of the divorce is not enough, and now they are all given away! I think Yuan Heng's invincibility is due to you You will not be reconciled in your hands!"
Zhou Yanchi rubbed his eyebrows and waited for the other side to finish speaking, then said, "If not, why don't you let me spend the rest of my life alone."
"Yuanheng is in your hands, so why are you afraid that you won't be able to find a woman!" Father Zhou continued to admonish severely, "As long as you are a successful man, there is no such thing as a considerate woman in this world, I can't figure it out." , why are you so obsessed with your ex-wife!"
Zhou Yanchi said simply: "Remember to say hello to mother for me." After speaking, he hung up the phone.
The corridor was silent, Du Ruoheng lowered his eyes, covered Zhou Titi's ears, and forbade her to listen from the first two sentences.The butler looked up at the ceiling, thinking that the street lamps in Zhou's house could be replaced with this style.
Zhou Yanchi looked at Du Ruoheng for a while, but the latter didn't turn his head at all.Finally he whispered, "Don't take it to heart."
Du Ruoheng said coldly, "You should go."
Zhou Titi ran to the window to watch her father leave, and waved farewell to him.Her expression was very reluctant to part, and she was still looking out with her chin resting on her chin when the figure was gone.Du Ruoheng stroked her daughter's back and asked her softly how she was doing in T City these days.
Zhou Titi said it was fine without much interest.Then I stopped talking, and I didn't chatter like usual to share anecdotes with my mother.The mood looked a little gloomy.
In order to coax her, Du Ruoheng said, how about we go to the aquarium on weekends.
Zhou Titi said that I went there when I was in T City.
Du Ruoheng smiled and said, "Then let's go eat fast food? Then go ride the Ferris wheel, shall we?"
Zhou Titi still shook her head.
Du Ruoheng had no choice.Zhou Titi looked at her suddenly: "Mom, you resigned from the hotel, right?"
"……Correct."
"why?"
"Mom wants to take a break for a while."
"I heard that you broke up with Uncle Kang Chen."
"That's right." Du Ruoheng corrected her a little, "Your Uncle Kang Chen and I broke up peacefully."
"Why did you break up?"
Du Ruoheng said softly: "We both think it's more appropriate to be friends in the future."
Zhou Titi groaned, her small face was thoughtful, wondering whether she understood or not.After a while, she suddenly raised her head again and looked at her with bright eyes: "In this case, as Dad said, can't we go back to T city to live together? I want to go back to T city to go to school, can I?"
Du Ruoheng looked at her daughter with complicated eyes, and wanted to ask her if the housekeeper taught her to speak like this.
Zhou Titi got tired of coming up, got into her mother's arms, whimpering and acting like a baby.It was a trick she didn't use very often, which made it more effective.Du Ruoheng felt soft-hearted, she met Zhou Titi's begging eyes, and almost blurted out a good word.
Finally, she asked softly, "Why do you want to go back to T City?"
Zhou Titi emphasized her tone: "I want to go back with my mother."
"Why do you want to go back with your mother?"
Zhou Titi thought for a while, and then replied, "I don't think you are very happy, Mom, living in S City."
Du Ruoheng felt a little sour in her heart, and she almost sighed.She caressed her daughter's back back and forth, and Zhou Titi asked her, "Is it okay?"
Du Ruoheng seemed to have finally made up his mind: "Okay."
Zhou Titi cheered enthusiastically, and turned around to call Zhou Yanchi.Stopped by Du Ruoheng, she smiled and changed the subject: "Hey, do you want some ice cream? Let's go out."
The mother and daughter went to the mall for a day, and Zhou Titi slept with her mother at night.She has been learning to be independent since the Spring Festival this year, and she lived in two rooms with her mother when she was in S city.When he returned to T City, he reverted to his old ways, and always asked Zhou Yanchi to sleep in the same room.
The little girl was pampered by her father in every possible way, and the result of being spoiled to no end was that the good habits developed in S City would disappear all at once when her father saw her.Zhou Yanchi's education for his daughter is basically tantamount to doting, and Kang Chen can't indulge like that.
After all, Zhou Titi is just a seven-year-old girl, and her biological father spoiled her so much that she will be obedient, so she will not become more dependent on other people than she is on Zhou Yanchi.There is a natural bond of blood, and there is also Zhou Yanchi's impeccable win over the day after tomorrow.
Zhou Yanchi didn't put much effort into loving his daughter.His idea is very simple, he subconsciously devotes great efforts to this child, this is the treasure in his eyes.
After turning off the lights in the bedroom, Zhou Titi rolled under the quilt into her mother's arms, with her feet hanging on Du Ruoheng's waist, and told her Mom, Dad misses you very much.
Du Ruoheng smiled and pinched the base of her nose, saying how do you know.
"I just know. Dad has been waiting for you to come home. Your things in the house have not been touched. The grandpa housekeeper cleans the cloakroom and dresser you used to use every day. No one can move. Even Dad is very careful when touching .”
Zhou Titi went on to say: "And daddy only sleeps on half of the bed in the bedroom. When I sleep with him, we sleep on half together, and the other half is always reserved for you."
Even in the dark, Du Ruoheng could feel Zhou Titi's staring eyes.
Du Ruoheng said that according to your observation, is father behaving well? Does he leave early and return late?
Zhou Titi thought for a while, and replied: "Father is very good, and he has never been accompanied by a beautiful sister."
"..."
Zhou Titi fell asleep very early, and Du Ruoheng woke up until midnight with her eyes open.
She promised Zhou Titi in the morning that a large part of it was to take care of her daughter's psychology.Zhou Titi started elementary school, and her mind is more sensitive and delicate now than it was three years ago.She is very smart, she is fluent in everything she learns, and she has cultivated high emotional intelligence from somewhere. A seven-year-old girl sometimes looks at problems like a little adult, with all-round and multi-angle, kind and considerate.The older Zhou Titi grows up, the less she will lose her temper. She is more sensible and interesting than Du Ruoheng.
Du Ruoheng had to reflect on the impact of his divorce from Zhou Yanchi on his daughter.In short, the disadvantages outweigh the advantages.Assuming that they can remain in love as before, Zhou Titi must be more cheerful and lively than now.
Returning to T city does not mean the reunion between the two adults, but just to appease Zhou Titi's psychology.If most of the negative emotions towards Zhou Yanzhi can be eliminated, there will be no difference between staying in S city and staying in T city.Du Ruoheng thought, anyway, she was ready to leave T city again at any time, she brought Zhou Titi back now, just for her daughter's physical and mental health, no matter what Zhou Yanchi did in the future, she would not suffer any further blows.If his behavior is so immoral that she loses her dignity again in T city, she will just leave.
Once you have no expectations, you have nothing to fear.
The next day Du Ruoheng went to school to go through the transfer procedures with Zhou Titi, and Zhou Yanchi called.
His voice sounded calm: "Titi called and told me that you are going to bring her back to T City."
Du Ruoheng said coldly: "Titi is too sensitive, I plan to take her to the Psychology Department of Children's Hospital in the next two days."
Zhou Yanchi said that I will be with you.
Du Ruoheng said, "Please don't make trouble."
Zhou Yanchi waited for a while, as if he had something to say, Du Ruoheng took the first step: "Don't get me wrong. Zhou Titi is the one who wants to go back to T City, and I just went to study with him."
"Titi wants more than that."
"I know. But nothing else is possible."
She spoke so decisively that Zhou Yanchi didn't reply for a while.Then he asked her if there was anything she could do for her.
Du Ruoheng said no.
"Do you need someone to pick you up?"
"Need not."
Du Ruoheng received a call from lawyer Zhang Yiming in the afternoon, and the two made an appointment in a coffee shop to follow the procedure.Du Ruoheng skimmed through the contract before signing it. In addition to transferring all the shares, Zhou Yanchi also had a property included in the agreement.
Du Ruoheng asked the lawyer: "Apart from these, what property does he have left?"
Zhang Yiming said, "There's nothing left. Only the real estate of Zhou's house and some cash are left."
Du Ruoheng lowered his head to sign, without any further hesitation when signing, but Zhang Yiming looked a little dazed.The two chatted for a while after signing, Zhang Yiming finally couldn't hold back, saying that he couldn't see through the circle of T City, why everyone regarded money as a joke.
He said: "A few days ago, I also accepted the entrustment of another lady. She decided to transfer all the property under her name to her ex-husband. At that time, she seemed to be quite reluctant. Most likely it was because my eyes were red from crying and I couldn’t see people. But I still signed the documents without hesitation. Now Mr. Zhou is the same way. He doesn’t want all his wealth, and treats money like dung. Can you tell me about it? Why do you do such a thing that ordinary people can't even figure out?"
Du Ruoheng was stunned for a while, then came back to his senses, and asked with a slight smile, "Lawyer Zhang, are you married?"
The other party pointed to the empty ring finger: "I'm divorced."
Du Ruoheng had a clear expression: "No wonder."
In the evening, Du Ruoheng received a call from Su Qiu, who asked if he had heard any news about T City. The major shareholders of Yuanheng were about to be driven crazy by Zhou Yan, and the stock price of Yuanheng would definitely drop sharply tomorrow.
Du Ruoheng was making custard for Zhou Titi in the kitchen, holding the phone to her ear, saying she hadn't heard of it.
Su Qiu said in an optimistic tone: "I will definitely buy Yuanheng's stock tomorrow. Buy low and sell high, and after a while, I will definitely double my profit."
Du Ruoheng said with a smile: "You are so confident. You may fall all the way."
Su Qiu said how is it possible, anyway, the next CEO will be Zhou Yanchi, I don't approve of his character, but I am more optimistic about his business experience.
Du Ruoheng was silent for a while, and couldn't help but say how did you know that, I never said who I would choose as my agent.
Su Qiu said casually: "Who else can you choose except Zhou Yanchi. Zhou Yanchi has mixed reputation among the top management, but with that face and strong wrist, he is pretty good among the grassroots employees. After all, you are not that This kind of person who is so stupid that he has to drag a large group to be buried with him because of personal feelings. Except for Zhou Yanchi, it is difficult for you to choose a second candidate. Kang Chen? I would rather believe that you would rather find a headhunter to choose an outsider than Kang Chen."
"why?"
"You don't want Zhou Titi to hate you because of this when she grows up. She loves her father so much."
"..."
Half an hour later, Du Ruoheng received a call from Du's mother.She said on the phone that she had learned what happened, and then said: "Yan Chi has already achieved this, and you should remarry him."
Du Ruoheng handed the custard to Zhou Titi, and walked to the balcony by himself: "You refused to call me once for three years, and now you are calling me because you want to tell me this?"
Du's mother said calmly: "Since Yan Chi already knew his mistake, and now he has handed over all his wealth to you, what else can you not be satisfied with? Prisoners still have time to serve their sentences. After serving their sentences, they will come out in peace Just being a human being. According to your theory, is it possible that as long as a person commits a crime, there is no chance of forgiveness?"
"What's more, there is Titi between you." Mother Du taught her, "That's fine, don't go too far."
Du Ruoheng resisted the impulse, and said flatly, "You don't understand the whole reason."
Du's mother said lightly: "You think this is a new thing? There are so many men cheating in this world, and you are the only one who takes this kind of thing seriously. How is life better after your divorce than before? A single woman with a daughter, That's how I came here back then, do you think I don't understand the sadness in it?"
"..."
"Furthermore, if Yan Chi is really tortured to death by you one day, will you be willing?" Mother Du said, "I taught you a long time ago that you should know when to stop doing things."
Du Ruoheng was speechless at all.Feeling cold and hot, listening to Du's mother hanging up the phone over there.
She felt a little uncomfortable, sitting in the hanging chair on the balcony, pulling the weeds in the pot of spider plants in front of her.Not long after, she received the third call of the night, and it took her a long time to hear it, and then she saw the name of the caller, Kang Chen, flashing.
Du Ruoheng picked it up, paused for a moment, and then said in a low voice: "I'm Kang Chen."
"I know."
"You still need my seal for your resignation procedures. I'm sorry that I have a lot of things to do in the past two days, so I haven't had time to handle this matter." He said, "I'll go back to S City tomorrow to deal with it."
Du Ruoheng said he was in no hurry.
Both were silent for a while.Kang Chen said, "I should apologize to you."
Du Ruoheng subconsciously asked, "Why?"
Kang Chen smiled wryly because of her answer, and said after a while: "I will call you when I go back to Jingman tomorrow."
From the bottom of his heart, Du Ruoheng had a deep affection for Jing Man.After all, she has spent a lot of effort in it for five years.Sometimes Du Ruoheng was on the night shift, and she had no choice but to take Zhou Titi to the hotel office.Because of this, Wang Feifei said that it was not easy for her. A single mother with her daughter and assisting in the management of a huge five-star hotel must be physically and mentally exhausted every day.
Kang Chen had said similar things before.After Du Ruoheng came back from a business trip for half a month, he was considerate of her hard work and massaged her shoulders, but the more he massaged Du Ruoheng, the more nervous he became, sitting there so stiff that Kang Chen had to smile all the time to let her relax.
But few have suggested she resign.Most people think that Du Ruoheng is suitable for the job of hotel management. Three years later, Du Ruoheng's excellent reputation has added the adjective of being gentle and patient. The hotel staff basically recognize her ability to handle affairs and take her for granted. Like and do the job well.Only Zhou Yanchi vaguely mentioned resignation. He said that she is not suitable for complicated personnel work, and it may be more suitable to do a clean scientific research.
In a certain sense, Du Ruoheng hid himself very deeply.Most of the time, she wears a mask to show the world, and things like dignity become more stubborn as she grows older, and now she doesn't even want anyone to see her vulnerable side, even if the other party is her relatives.So if you look at it from this aspect, Zhou Yanchi is more precious. He is seven years older than her, he tolerates all her advantages and disadvantages, and has multiple identities of father, brother and lover.This is the result of years of running-in when both parties are willing.If Zhou Yanchi had never been unfaithful, Du Ruoheng must have lived a very happy life.
This is where the real sticking point lies.Now that Du Ruoheng has confirmed one thing, even if there are a hundred outstanding men to choose as her husband, she will still choose Zhou Yanchi more than half of the time.She confirmed that it is difficult for her to have the mood to get along with each other slowly. Besides, she still has emotional cleanliness, and she doesn't have that much confidence to believe that if it takes another seven or eight years, she can trust Zhou Yanchi like she used to. Another person.
But at the same time, Zhou Yanchi made her feel like a stick in her throat.Obviously his posture is very low now, if Du Ruoheng is willing, he can already let her come and go as she pleases, but Du Ruoheng still feels impetuous.
It's not like she didn't have a wavering thought about getting back together, but she was denied it without hesitation.She has no confidence in him, and she has no confidence in herself.The more I think about it, the more hopeless I feel.
