The Queen of Romance: A Summer of Sweet Classics

Chapter 42 Dilemma
Du Ruoheng went to Jingman the next day, and everyone said hello along the way.Wang Feifei whispered to her that General Manager Kang was back, and Du Ruoheng smiled: "I know. I'll ask him to sign."

When she entered the general manager's office, Kang Chen was standing by the window looking into the distance.He was wearing a black shirt. He smiled when he saw her, with a gentle expression, and pointed to the sofa: "Sit."

The two of them didn't have too many formalities, and he quickly signed for her.When he bent down, the hair on the side was handsome and neat, and the fingers were pampered, and every movement at random revealed the charm of a mature man.

Four years ago, Kang Chen could still make some harmless jokes with the front desk staff of the hotel. In the past two years, he has a high position and authority, and his attitude has changed involuntarily. Wang Feifei is such a lively person, and she used to sing her favorite song Dragging Kang Chen to sing "At Least There's You" together, now seeing him only dare to respectfully say Mr. Kang is good.

Everyone slowly chooses a path of their own over the years.Kang Chen's choice is undoubtedly different from Du Ruoheng's.He is also different from Zhou Yanchi, his boundaries are not as clear as Zhou Yanchi's, and his gray areas are as important as black and white.

Kang Chen handed over the document, and then asked her about her future plans.After finishing speaking, he paused again, and smiled: "I forgot, Zhou Yanchi has already transferred all the shares of Yuanheng to you."

Du Ruoheng pursed his lips and smiled.

Kang Chen looked at her expression carefully, and then slowly said: "If this is the case, next month's chairman election will be meaningless."

Du Ruoheng pursed his lips and smiled again.

Kang Chen didn't know what to think of, sighed softly, got up and poured a cup of coffee for Du Ruoheng.He handed it over, and then looked up at her: "If I'm really telling the truth, I don't want to admit defeat in this way."

It was still inconvenient for Du Ruoheng to express his opinion on such a topic.

"I did plan for the position of Yuanheng's executive president." Kang Chen said softly, "If Zhou Yanchi hadn't come here suddenly, he might not be able to succeed."

"Originally, the default was fair competition. By doing so, he made the voting at the shareholders' meeting meaningless. A few years ago, Yuanheng's control was in his hands, and now he gave it to you." Kang Chen paused , or say, "If it comes down to it, it should still be in his hands."

Du Ruoheng's tone was still soft, the tone she used to treat everyone except Zhou Yanchi: "This is different."

She didn't say any more, and got up to say goodbye.Kang Chen sent it to the door, and suddenly said: "If the ending is really as I expected, maybe I will leave Yuanheng right away."

Du Ruoheng looked at him subconsciously.Kang Chen smiled slightly and said, "It will be inconvenient to stay any longer in the future. Besides, probably Jing Man's position as general manager will also be resigned together."

Du Ruoheng said after deliberation: "Actually, I've always wanted to ask why you never resigned from Jingman." Obviously, he has been too busy with Yuanheng for the past three years.

Kang Chen laughed: "Because you are here. Since you like this job, then I will accompany you."

Du Ruoheng was silent.For a moment, she had the urge to tell the truth, and then swallowed all the words in a flash.Kang Chen held the doorknob, thought for a while, and said, "One last question."

Du Ruoheng looked up at him, Kang Chen's eyes were complicated, and finally he asked, "Have you ever loved me a little?"

She didn't respond for a long time, and Kang Chen asked again: "So, have you ever liked it?"

Du Ruoheng thought for a moment and said, "Yes."

Kang Chen laughed: "I understand."

He watched her go out, looked at her for the last time, and said softly to her, "We will keep in touch in the future."

This sentence is perfunctory, and both parties understand it very well.Just like she broke up with him before and said that she would be friends in the future.The so-called friends are just saying hello if we meet one day, and we will definitely not contact you when we can't see you.

Moving from S City back to T City is not as easy as it was five years ago.All kinds of luggage had to be tidied up, and only Zhou Titi's took up half of the room.Du Ruoheng called the moving company and explained the address of City T. Zhou Titi listened and asked, "Mom, aren't we going back to the house?"

Du Ruoheng answered her softly: "No."

Zhou Titi stopped talking, and looked at her silently with her chin in her hands, a little disappointed in her eyes.

The place Du Ruoheng chose was an apartment that Du's father transferred to her.The area is small, separated from Zhou's house by a city.It was exactly what she wanted.She didn't want to be in the same room with Zhou Yanchi for a long time, and on this point, she couldn't compromise with Zhou Titi.

After a few days of delay, Du Ruoheng finally returned to T City with her daughter.Zhou Yanchi and the housekeeper came to pick up the plane.Du Ruoheng was expressionless with a pair of sunglasses on her face, which was actually an expression of her unhappiness.

When she came back to T City, she always felt that there was a faint hint of peace.But obviously she shouldn't be doing this.The closer you are to T city, the stronger this idea is. When Du Ruoheng talked to her daughter at the airport in S city, she was still smiling, but when she got off the plane, she had completely lost her smile.

The housekeeper took Zhou Titi's small schoolbag, and Zhou Yanchi followed to take Du Ruoheng's suitcase.Du Ruoheng glanced at him through his glasses, his brows furrowed slightly without moving.The two of them stalemate in silence for a while, the housekeeper coughed lightly, stepped forward and said, "Miss Du, let me do it."

This time Du Ruoheng let go.

A few people didn't mention anything about Yuan Heng on the way back, but Du Ruoheng already knew about Yuan Heng on the plane just now.The stock price of Yuanheng has been falling all the way these days, and several veteran directors were on the verge of rioting, and were so angry that an elder who usually supported Zhou Yanchi fell ill and was hospitalized.The news headlines in the newspaper were full of exaggerated words, such as handing over the country to give away his ex-wife, coupled with Zhou Yanchi's still charming face, the whole page was filled with eloquence, the writing was so good that it was not earth-shattering.

Du Ruoheng felt his teeth hurt.She only wondered about one question, no one came to S city to find her these days.

A few people returned to Zhou's house, and the housekeeper wanted to carry their luggage. Du Ruoheng said that he was not busy with it, and would go to the west side in a while.

Zhou Yanchi digested her words for a while, and asked, "Where do you want to live?"

"Papa's old apartment."

"If I remember correctly, the two-bedroom apartment was a bit small."

"It's enough for Titi and I to live together." Du Ruoheng still didn't take off his sunglasses, and said flatly, "If I'm free in the afternoon, I hope to complete Titi's transfer procedures as soon as possible."

Zhou Yanchi looked at her for a while and said, "Eat first."

The dishes were served like flowing water, and they were very rich. The butler stood in front of the dining table and pointed out to Du Ruoheng the appearance of each plate, and said that Zhou Yanchi made these specially before going to the airport. Start prepping the night before.Zhou Titi was very excited when she heard that, to be exact, she was very happy from the moment she came back to T City, she said beside her father that I want to eat this, this, and this.Zhou Yanchi gave her one by one, but Du Ruoheng didn't have much appetite. She had an unknown anger hidden in her heart, so she barely ate a few mouthfuls of food, and then put down the bowls and chopsticks.

Zhou Yanchi looked at her, and Du Ruoheng said without expression, "It's unpalatable."

Zhou Titi, who was already stuffed, was coaxed out by the butler with a wink.Zhou Yanchi said lightly, "Then tell the kitchen to do something else."

Du Ruoheng stared at him, got up and left.When passing by Zhou Yanchi, he cut off her wrist, and she suddenly exploded like a cat, her voice suddenly raised: "Let go!"

Zhou Yanchi quickly let go.He looked at her, his eyes were deep and dark.After her breathing stabilized a bit, she said, "I know you still need time to get used to it when you first come here."

Du Ruoheng remained silent with a sullen face.

"You think you have suffered." Zhou Yanchi said slowly, "And you don't really want to see me, let alone see me all day long, right?"

Du Ruoheng said coldly, "When did you become so self-aware."

Zhou Yan avoided talking about it, and only said: "Take your time, okay?"

"Who will take your time with you!"

"Before you came back, I thought you would go back on your word." Zhou Yanchi said softly, "You don't want me to guess your psychology right, do you?"

Du Ruoheng frowned and warned him impatiently: "Don't talk to me in such a childish tone!"

He added: "If it's really not pleasing to the eye, I'll take all the beatings. Is this okay?"

Du Ruoheng said coldly, "How dare I."

Zhou Yanchi rubbed the center of his brows, and after a while, he uttered a sentence: "I beg you to hit me, okay?"

Du Ruoheng finally couldn't hold back her expression, her expression softened a bit, but her tone was still impatient: "Get lost."

Not long after Du Ruoheng returned to T City, he gathered with some old friends in a guild hall.She doesn't like this kind of excitement by nature. The reason for this is nothing more than the fact that she ran into her former colleague on the road two days ago. The other party became friends with her and enthusiastically proposed to have a gathering to celebrate her return to T City. She couldn't refuse.

To be exact, Du Ruoheng really wanted to keep the matter of her return to T City low-key. The fewer people who knew about it, the better. In her opinion, this was not something worth celebrating.However, at the party, a group of people lamented her luck.

This was beyond Du Ruoheng's expectation.All the former friends envied her for not only having a good daughter but also having a good ex-husband, besides, Yuan Heng was like something in her pocket.With Du Ruoheng in power and beauty beside her, she seemed to be the happiest woman in the world.

Someone also said: "When we found out that you were divorced, everyone felt it was a pity."

Du Ruoheng said: "So it's not worth looking at me now?"

"Of course. It's too late for you to be envied and jealous now, okay?"

Du Ruoheng smiled and took a sip of black tea.The other party glanced at her, and because they had a good relationship with her before, they spoke more directly: "It's the truth. In this world, after getting married, who doesn't work together, compromise, and settle down? How many men can be like yours?" Since your ex-husband repented so sincerely, you can still keep in touch after five years, and you can still come back to T city for him."

Du Ruoheng corrected: "I didn't come back for him."

"Oh, that's not the point. The point is that after divorce in this world, the woman compromises more than the man. Most divorced men go to younger and more beautiful girls. If they want to get back together It's also because of the woman's concession. Only your Mr. Zhou can give you all the shares of Yuanheng to show sincerity." The other party said, "You don't want him and give him to me, I like to continue."

Du Ruoheng smiled.The other party said again: "So it's actually a blessing. Look at Wu Chaoyan, smiling so happily with the people next to her. Who doesn't know that she divorced her husband a while ago, but she didn't get any money, and the child returned to her. You are not here In the past few years in T City, the personnel affairs have been so chaotic that you can't even imagine. There is also Yao Zixin who didn't come today. She has never had a child for so many years. After the Chinese New Year this year, she took the illegitimate child her husband brought out outside to her name. Next. A man is a woman's second life. At our age, you are already quite happy to have the current situation."

Du Ruoheng just smiled and didn't say a word.

She could feel the compliments being paid to her in every form at the party.Someone also asked about a jadeite bracelet she was wearing on her wrist, pointing to it and asking, "Is this bought by Mr. Zhou?"

Du Ruoheng almost blurted out that he bought it with his salary in S City, but swallowed the words after thinking about it.

She said very little among the crowd, but she seemed more and more like a star.What I heard in my ears were others' flattery to her.Du Ruoheng's tone and tone were distantly familiar. When she first returned to China, she attended a reception with Zhou Yanchi, because she especially didn't want to see this kind of face. Since then, she rarely agreed to attend similar events with him.If it was that time, she would definitely not be able to bear it.But now, she has been extra patient.

People are always changing.Not to mention it has been so many years.

The party didn't end until nearly nine o'clock in the evening. When Du Ruoheng came out of the guild hall, someone poked his back lightly and said with a smile, "Look, someone is here to pick you up."

It was late spring, and there was a cool breeze at night. Zhou Yanchi was wearing only a simple shirt with the cuffs rolled up, revealing his forearms. He was leaning against the car and looking at her from a distance.

The figure is very slender and well-proportioned, and it is just good-looking, so it exudes the charm of a mature man.

Du Ruoheng walked over in full view, and Zhou Yanchi opened the car door for her, then nodded gracefully to everyone, and then the two left under the envious eyes of the crowd behind them.

The car wasn't driving fast, Du Ruoheng leaned on the window and looked out.Zhou Yanchi asked her how the conversation went at night.

After a while, I heard a vague answer: "It's okay."

He asked again what was going on.

What Du Ruoheng said was not what people often talked about at parties, men, women, and children.

"It looks a little bad," he said.

Du Ruoheng said coldly, "I'm fine."

Zhou Yanchi didn't continue this topic.After a while, he said, "Several members of the board of directors want to hold an interim meeting. You are the largest shareholder, and you probably need to go there once. Just in these two days."

Du Ruoheng finally glanced at him and said, "What are they going to say? Want to force the palace?"

Zhou Yanchi said calmly, "They don't have the guts."

Two days later in the morning, when Du Ruoheng went to Yuanheng, Zhou Yanchi followed her, and everyone bowed and said hello to Mr. Zhou wherever he went.This is the residual effect of his brutal rule.Du Ruoheng walked all the way to the front of the meeting room on the top floor in a pretentious manner, and heard someone coughing inside through the door panel.

She walked in first, and several directors stared at her all of a sudden, their expressions seemed to be more nervous than her.Zhang Yaran, who was taking minutes of the meeting at the side, reported to her in a low voice: "Director Kang Chen said that there is an urgent matter and he can't get away, so he asked for leave for this meeting."

Du Ruoheng hummed and sat down on the chief seat.

She is not used to the view from this seat.

Zhou Yan holds no shares, and he does not have a seat at the temporary meeting.But no one dared to ask him to go out.Zhang Yaran found another chair for him, and he sat on the edge of the door, looking at this side without saying a word.

Someone was holding their breath when they saw this scene.The meeting hadn't started yet, Du Ruoheng sat upright and laughed in his heart. When he entered the door just now, he made it clear that he was going to hold a criticism meeting, but when he saw Zhou Yanchi, he didn't even have any courage. What were these people thinking? .

She looked around and said that the meeting had started.The room was silent for a while, and an elderly director coughed and spoke first: "I heard that Ms. Du has basically no experience in managing company groups."

Du Ruoheng said steadily: "Managing the company is not my business, that is the problem that Yuanheng's agent should solve. At most, I just discuss some investment decisions with the directors. But if you feel unhappy, or you can think so, It is precisely because I have an absolute controlling stake but do not understand anything that you are still sitting here for the time being."

The other party was an elder, and her words quickly aroused whispers.Zhou Yanchi tapped his knuckles on the armrest lightly, and then there was no sound again.

Du Ruoheng said: "What exactly do you want to talk about in the meeting?"

"New board members haven't been elected yet," said another director.

"Just follow the process."

If Zhou Yanchi hadn't been in charge, Du Ruoheng wouldn't have spoken in that prestige tone just now.She was sure he was here, and she would be unscathed.But on the other hand, without Zhou Yanchi, she wouldn't have to sit here and deal with a bunch of old men.

Du Ruoheng was a little annoyed by the tit-for-tat confrontation by a group of directors.Obviously she didn't have to suffer all this, it was all because of Zhou Yanchi.At the end of the meeting, she went out, and someone behind her said lukewarmly: "Isn't it just an affair within marriage, which made him look weak. It's fine to compromise on your own, but you have to drag the whole Yuanheng to rely on a woman to act on his breath."

Before Zhou Yanchi could say a word, Du Ruoheng stopped and turned around.She smiled: "Director Zhao, have you passed the age of knowing destiny? Since half of the soil has been buried up to your neck, you should at least accumulate some morals."

She only got angry at Zhou Yanchi after she left Yuan Heng: "Yuan Heng insists on keeping this kind of person? Is it interesting to watch me being roasted on the fire? Why are you so idle? I have to suffer this for no reason Criticism? Whose fault is it? What logical values ​​do you all have!"

She spoke in a topsy-turvy way, obviously out of breath.Zhou Yanchi drove and stared ahead, saying, "You have the absolute right to appoint and dismiss."

Du Ruoheng said: "You treat me as you, and when you do things, you only think about yourself and do whatever you want? Why don't you think about it when you are arbitrarily dictatorial, and you want to accumulate virtue for Titi in the future?"

These words poked Zhou Yanchi's weakness, and he stopped talking for a moment.

After a while, he reluctantly opened his mouth: "I will pay attention in the future."

"Don't think of me as bad in everything, can you?" He added, "I don't mean to embarrass you, I just hope you can live more comfortably."

He wanted to rub the center of his eyebrows, but took his hand back halfway.The expression is very flat.Du Ruoheng thought he must be a little impatient, he had obviously said this kind of thing more than once.

She doesn't want to talk to him.

Zhou Yanchi said again: "You still misunderstood me."

"Shut up. I don't want to continue this topic."

After a while, Su Qiu called Du Ruoheng, concerned about how she was doing in T City.

Du Ruoheng said it was okay.

What does Su Qiu mean by saying it's okay?

Du Ruoheng was biting a piece of dark chocolate and watching TV, when there was the sound of vacuuming in the next room, she replied vaguely: "It's almost the same as in City S, and the cleaners hired are not bad."

Su Qiu said: "Ask about your love life, don't tell me if you have it or not."

"What else? It's already reached this point, so I have no choice but to continue living like this."

After Zhou Yanchi finished cleaning, washed his hands, took off his apron and came out of the kitchen, Du Ruoheng beckoned him to come over.

She took out a piece of paper and a pen and put it in front of him: "We have three chapters."

"Which three chapters?"

"I said, you write."

"First, apart from Zhou Titi, there should be no interaction between the two parties."

Zhou Yanchi stopped writing after writing two words, and Du Ruoheng asked, "Do you disagree?"

He said flatly: "The intersection here needs to be defined. You need to explain whether this intersection refers to property transactions, meeting or greetings between people, or both. In addition, if it refers to Between people, is it limited to active non-intersection, or passive intersection should also be avoided? For example, if we meet by chance on the road, should we say hello? In addition, what should we do if someone crosses? Or there is no obvious Chao Yue, but using Zhou Titi as an excuse to meet, does this count as an intersection?"

Du Ruoheng looked at him coldly: "Are you finished?"

He hummed.

She gritted her teeth and said, "Both. And there can be no intersection between active and passive."

Zhou Yanchi suddenly asked: "Who do you plan to hand over Yuan Heng's agency execution rights to?"

"What do you ask for this?"

He calmly said, "If you give it to others, there is no objection. If you plan to hand it over to me with compassion, then the problem will come again. I will definitely communicate with you in future business affairs, and this is obviously part of removing Zhou Titi. Outer intersection."

Du Ruoheng was finally annoyed and kicked him, "Get out!"

Zhou Yanchi naturally didn't leave, and he asked her what the second point of the three chapters was.Du Ruoheng pretended not to hear with a cold face.

The agreement between the two failed to reach an agreement, and Du Ruoheng was not in a good mood.Zhou Yanchi stopped teasing him any more, he stopped when he had enough time, turned and went to the kitchen to slice fish.

Up to now, the two have gradually formed a new way of getting along - it is difficult for Du Ruoheng to maintain a good face for more than 10 minutes when dealing with Zhou Yanchi, and Zhou Yanchi has tried to get used to her impatience towards him.He groped to figure out her true psychology, tried to think from her perspective, and gradually got used to Du Ruoheng's attitude towards him.

When Zhou Yanchi came out of the stewed fish soup, Du Ruoheng was staring out of the window in a daze, holding a pillow in his arms, frowned and biting his nails.He said, "The meal is ready."

Du Ruoheng hummed absently.

He took her pillow away, and Du Ruoheng glared at him.Zhou Yanchi said either way, we signed another agreement.

"All my property is transferred to your name, and you have the legal right to control it in the future."

Du Ruoheng understood.If this is the case, it is no different from a couple in ordinary life.Strictly speaking, Zhou Yanchi has become a real proletariat, and he does not own any assets.Probably only the pocket money Du Ruoheng gave is left in his hand.If the two of them swore to the death not to communicate with each other one day in the future, Zhou Yanchi would undoubtedly become penniless.

Too bad she wasn't interested in it.

She said: "Why bother." Then she sneered slightly, "You simply go down and become a eunuch, and I will have no regrets in this life."

Zhou Titi was a little apprehensive about the dispute between the two adults, but after a period of time, she realized that it was like this every day, and that she hadn't really gone too far, so she gradually felt relieved.She has been obsessed with Go recently. On weekends, she learns from her new master during the day and plays against Zhou Yanchi at night.

The little girl has a very calm personality, and she sat without moving for four hours after dinner.Her master praised her for being a great talent in the future, and Zhou Titi bowed to her elders, saying thank her master for her love.

The small appearance made the adults very happy.

Du Ruoheng's chess skills are not as good as Zhou Yanchi's, so Zhou Titi stays at Zhou's house every day and refuses to leave.When Du Ruoheng urged at ten o'clock, Zhou Titi still couldn't bear to look up at the chessboard, and said, "Mom, wait a little longer."

After going on like this for several days, Du Ruoheng dragged the reluctant Zhou Titi away from the Zhou residence until eleven o'clock in the evening.It was windy at night, and not long after tossing around, Zhou Titi caught a cold.Seeing the child's distress, the housekeeper discussed with Du Ruoheng: "Either you bring Zhou Titi to live here too. The house is big, so it's no problem to live with two more people."

Du Ruoheng said it was inconvenient.

"It's not inconvenient. Everything you need is here, including clothes, shoes, jewelry, and skin care products." The housekeeper rolled his eyes and read out a few of Du Ruoheng's usual skin care products brands, "Is that right?"

"..."

Zhou Titi looked at her lying on the table with her chin in her hands, with a thermometer stuck in her mouth, and said to her vaguely, "Mom, let's live here together. Can you?"

"..."

Du Ruoheng could see her daughter's intentions.She could find a thousand excuses to leave Zhou's house, but Zhou Titi wholeheartedly hoped that they could reconcile.She created various opportunities for the two adults to get along, and it was difficult for Du Ruoheng to refuse them all.

That night she finally agreed to stay at Zhou's residence for one night.

That night, the whole Zhou residence was full of joy, and the room was brightly lit, which was even more lively than during the Spring Festival in recent years.Zhou Yanchi never smiled very much, and it was difficult to see any expression on his face, but when he was eating dinner, his eyes on Du Ruoheng were so gentle that they almost melted away.

Du Ruoheng was so watched that he couldn't eat anymore.She told Zhou Titi to bring the thermometer again.

Zhou Titi asked what happened.

Du Ruoheng said, "Your father is burnt out."

As a result, Zhou Titi played chess with his father at night, and Du Ruoheng slept in the guest room early.Zhou Yanchi saw her less time than before.After coaxing Zhou Titi to sleep, he came to the door of the guest room, turned back and forth against the door panel several times before returning to the room.Then the next day Du Ruoheng got up early to send Zhou Titi to school, and Zhou Yanchi came out of the bedroom only to catch half of her back as she drove away.

He looked out the window until the car turned away from the house.The butler stood behind him, and gave Zhou Yanchi a silent sympathy from the bottom of his heart.

Zhou Titi will go to the water world on weekends, and must be with two adults.The little girl walked in the middle, dragging an adult with one hand, as if Du Ruoheng and Zhou Yanchi were the ones who were brought out to relax.While queuing up to buy tickets, Zhou Titi ran into her former tablemate Xi Ruichen. She was a small man among the crowd, with heroic eyes in her clear eyes.

He politely called uncle and aunt.Du Ruoheng asked why it was just you.

Xi Ruichen pointed to the shade in the distance, and replied calmly, "Mom and Dad are there."

Looking along the past, I saw a seductive couple.The man was holding a lady's coat in his arms. The two of them were not close to each other, but no matter how they looked at them, they were as close as anyone else, and there was a tacit understanding in every gesture.

Leaving the children behind in line, cultivate interest by yourself.Du Ruoheng saw it complicated, and suddenly Zhou Yan held his hand.His strength was weak, but she couldn't break free in front of the children.Staring at him warningly through the sunglasses, Zhou Yanchi remained motionless.He whispered, "We will do the same in the future."

Du Ruoheng snorted and laughed, obviously not believing it.

After a while, the other couple saw them and came over to greet them.Mr. Xi still remembered Du Ruoheng's name, and his attitude was gentle and polite.In the end, he and Zhou Yanchi smiled slightly and said, "The information is almost collected, and it will be sent to you in the next two days."

Zhou Yanchi said thank you for the first time.

After returning home for dinner at night, Du Ruoheng asked the two what they were talking about in the afternoon.

Zhou Yanchi didn't hide anything.He said it lightly: "I said that one day Kang Chen will be poor and destitute."

Du Ruoheng digested this sentence for a while. "What information did you ask Xi Jinnan to collect?"

He put it simply: "Commercial bribery."

This is a criminal offence.Du Ruoheng glanced at him and said nothing.

Du Ruoheng has not been appointed to Zhou Yanchi's role as the executive officer of Yuanheng for a long time, and Zhou Yanchi's talent is at home.Although he is free, there are not many things he can think of to do.He really hoped to do something with Du Ruoheng, playing ball and chatting, but Du Ruoheng didn't like staying at home very much.

She started to go out, and Zhou Titi also gave Zhou Yanchi to pick her up, without saying what she was going to do.The time to pick up Zhou Titi at night gradually dragged on from eight o'clock to nine o'clock. Zhou Yanchi used this as an excuse to call and inquire. At this time, Du Ruoheng would be very impatient and asked why you asked so many questions and asked about everything. Is it bothering you to report everything?

These words sound familiar.He had said this to Du Ruoheng a few years ago.So it's hard to ask any more.

After a week like this, it was almost ten o'clock in the evening when Du Ruoheng came to pick Zhou Titi back to Du's house.The living room was brightly lit, and the housekeeper said that Zhou Titi had already fallen asleep upstairs. It was too late, so Du Ruoheng might as well sleep here. Don't go back later. I have something to tell you too. "

Du Ruoheng thought for a while, then silently agreed.

The two sat down in the living room, and Zhou Yanchi said, "Kang Chen has resigned as a director."

"I already know."

Zhou Yan stayed silent for a moment, then asked, "Did he tell you himself?"

"Otherwise?"

Du Ruoheng has been very angry recently, which made Zhou Yanchi frown, but he still had to continue: "I have locked Kang Chen's relevant materials in the safe, and if there is no accident, I will not take them out again."

Du Ruoheng let out an oh, but didn't react too much.

"If I don't do this, are you planning to do what I do to Kang Chen, and what you do to me?"

Du Ruoheng took a sip of ginseng tea and said, "Don't think too much."

But it turned out that Zhou Yanchi didn't think too much at all, and Du Ruoheng went to Yuanheng again the next day after the two talked about Kang Chen.This time, together with Zhou Yanchi, he was appointed as Yuan Heng's executive officer.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Zhou Yanchi said thank you to Du Dong with his expression unchanged, and Du Ruoheng politely replied, "Work hard."

She left without listening to his next arrangement of work tasks.She was going to drive to pick up Zhou Titi from school.

Two days later, Yuan Heng had a celebration banquet.Essentially a gathering between a group of executives and board members.There are very few women among them, and Du Ruoheng is the only one of them.Even though she was the chairman, she still received more respect from Zhou Yanchi. No matter where he went, everyone held their breath and focused.

It was rare for Du Ruoheng to see such a scene, and it reminded her of a tiger patrolling the mountains.I also felt that this kind of atmosphere probably fueled Zhou Yanchi's arrogance that he didn't want to repent and insist on going his own way.

One day when Du Ruoheng was shopping in the mall, he happened to meet Nie Liwei, and the two had lunch together.

Du Ruoheng said that he has been unable to sleep recently, and the symptoms of insomnia are very serious.

Nie Liwei comforted her with a smile: "Maybe it's because I'm not used to it when I just returned to T City, there must be an adaptation process."

"Then how long will it take to get used to it?"

"Even if we used to be at the same table, you can't let me answer this kind of question. I'm not Zhuge Liang, so I can't watch the sky at night."

Du Ruoheng took a while to tell the truth: "I'm really worried that I will regret it in the future."

Nie Liwei looked at her with a slight smile: "Don't think so much. Now that you have decided to come back, you might as well try to let it go. Try to think about principles and obstacles as little as possible, otherwise you will only annoy yourself. There must be something to live with. , what do you say?"

Zhou Yanchi didn't know about the meeting between Du Ruoheng and Nie Liwei.He only vaguely noticed that Du Ruoheng's attitude had softened a bit compared to when he first came back to T City.It's a good thing, but he can't know why.He really wanted to ask, but with Du Ruoheng's attitude that you wouldn't feel sorry for guessing to death, he had no choice.

The relationship between them is actually very fragile now.Most of Du Ruoheng's willingness to come back to T City is due to the face of his daughter Zhou Titi, and part of it is after a lot of consideration, which may not include maximizing personal future interests, and only a small part is because of old love.

Zhou Yanchi knew this very well.But he didn't want to think about it.It may only be possible to survive with vagueness.

On the eve of Zhou Titi's summer vacation, the two adults planned to take her to W City for a holiday.

Du Ruoheng went to the mall to buy travel supplies, but accidentally saw Lan Yurou.

The square pin bone stands, so thin that only a skeleton remains.A person with such a haggard look, if it wasn't for the impressive tear mole at the corner of her eye, Du Ruoheng would definitely not have recognized her.

When she stood still, Lan Yurou obviously saw her too.However, her performance was far less calm than Du Ruoheng's, she deliberately turned her face away, and accelerated her steps to leave.

Du Ruoheng hadn't paid attention to news from the entertainment industry for a long time.She bought an entertainment magazine at a nearby newsstand, and the publication date was half a year ago.It said that Lan Yurou was hidden in the snow because of the scandal, and next to it was a full-body photo of a haggard without makeup.

Du Ruoheng looked at it for a while, then threw the magazine into his bag and brought it back to Zhou's house.

Zhou Yanchi stood at the door watching her walk into the living room, and asked her why she couldn't get through the phone just now, but Du Ruoheng didn't want to pay attention to him.She came here because the housekeeper invited her to eat pickled fish at Zhou's house at noon today.In addition, Du Ruoheng also wanted to dig a few potted plants from Zhou's house to the apartment, together with water, soil and flower pots.Zhou Zhai did not know why, but the plants he raised were more juicy and delicate than those in the flower market.

The butler asked her which one she planned to have, Chlorophytum Rose or Green Peony.

Du Ruoheng said that Chlorophytum is fine and easy to raise.

The housekeeper said: "The pots are all in the study, I will share with you which ones you want." After finishing speaking, he added leisurely, "Think about the spider plants at home that you planted six or seven years ago. Take care, I will bring it to you in a while, and you will know how vigorously they grow."

Du Ruoheng knew what he meant.Wen Wan smiled: "There is a saying that things are right and people are wrong."

The butler was speechless immediately.

During lunch, Zhou Yanchi was a little bit uninspired.When the housekeeper helped Du Ruoheng move Diaolan to the car, and she was about to leave, he held her wrist: "I have something to tell you."

Du Ruoheng stopped and waited for him.

As a result, he didn't say anything for a long time.Du Ruoheng ran out of patience after waiting, and she said, "You rummaged through my bag."

Zhou Yanchi explained: "A corner of the magazine is exposed, I only read the magazine."

Du Ruoheng didn't intend to pursue this topic, so she asked, "So what exactly do you want to say?"

"..."

Zhou Yanchi found it difficult for him to explain, and he couldn't deny the established facts.Du Ruoheng smiled inexplicably: "Don't force yourself."

She closed the car door and walked away.

In the end, the two silently revealed all the chapters about Lan Yurou with a neutral attitude.They began to tacitly avoid the past. Scars cannot be revealed to the world, they will affect the appearance of the city, and they are of no benefit to others or themselves.Zhou Yanchi didn't understand Du Ruoheng's bottom line in this regard, but he didn't dare to test it easily.He can only set his bottom line higher, which is the least emotional way.
