Love in Hancheng

chapter 31
Han Dongcheng is neither so ruthless nor unreachable. If I hadn't been too nervous and cared too much at the time, if he had seen me at that time, perhaps, the situation between me and him would have been different.

Unknowingly, I was a little distracted while eating, and the movements of my hands were much slower.

When I asked Han Dongcheng, I didn't expect to encounter such a situation. I asked him to settle the score, right?
How could he be influenced by Han Dongcheng, and sit here and eat quietly, or even have other thoughts?

"Why did you choose to eat here?"

Blunted, Han Dongcheng seemed to be eating the steak in his mouth slowly, and then looked up at me. There was no other emotion on his calm face. When he met my wide-eyed and puzzled look, he actually decided to Looking at me steadily, the eyes that are always cold are bright and sharp, with a slight warmth that I am not familiar with, and the silent gaze seems to be asking me, what do you think?

I unconsciously withdrew my gaze, and felt that the base of my ears seemed to be warming up. I pursed my lips, tried to be calm, grabbed the napkin, and wiped the corners of my lips in an elegant gesture. There seemed to be an overwhelmed voice deep in my heart. Struggling, calm down, Qiu Huanuan.

Could it be that Han Dongcheng is telling me that he still remembers that the last agreement failed, how could it be?

"Last time, you missed the appointment!"

As if to sing a different tune, just when I thought it was impossible, Han Dongcheng spoke lightly, as if accusing me of not being brave enough.

However, if Huo Lingsha hadn't appeared, how could I have escaped? If it hadn't been for his indifferent expression and mocking eyes, I might not have been so cowardly enough to escape.

Now it's my fault.

"I remember, last time you made an appointment with Huo Lingsha."

Although, now I don't want to worry about this, and even know that it's useless to worry about it, but in the face of Han Dongcheng's reminder, I have to remind him of that fact.

I put down the napkin, my face looked solemn, I didn't want to have a quarrel-like conversation with Han Dongcheng, I tried my best to behave calmly, a faint smile seemed to be outlined on the corner of my lips.

Han Dongcheng seemed to be stimulated by my smile. His handsome face froze, his eyes lit up, and they became more sharp. When he put down his chopsticks, he called the waiter to clean up the tableware. While waiting for the drink, his eyes slightly Squinting, said lightly: "You shouldn't be late."

Han Dongcheng's tone seemed to be slightly regretful, would he regret that I didn't confess to him in time?Won't he be angry that I used another scheming to deceive him?
If I'm not late, will we be together?

My originally calm expression accidentally revealed a little bit, a little bit of anticipation.

Looking forward to that if, looking forward to everything after that possibility.

And the reason why Han Dongcheng regretted it was because his affection for "I Ben Qingcheng" could not reach the established reality after all?
Thinking of Huo Lingsha's happy smile, thinking of his considerate care for Huo Lingsha, thinking of his neglect and disdain so many times, I feel annoyed for my little expectation.

I'm here to talk to Han Dongcheng about something serious, how could I talk about this.

"I didn't come to you to talk about these things."

I restrained my mind and prepared to speak clearly. Even if Han Dongcheng's conscience finds out and takes care of me, I shouldn't accept this care without knowing anything.

When he already has Huo Lingsha by his side, I shouldn't have those unrealistic fantasies anymore.

The waiter came over at the right time, delivered the snacks and drinks, and then left with interest. I saw the doubt flashing across Han Dongcheng's face, and I wondered if he was pretending on purpose.

"tell me the story."

Han Dongcheng's attitude of neither denying nor admitting gave me a tougher stance.

"The spokesperson of the game "Nine Heavens", why did you choose me?"

I carefully observed Han Dongcheng's expression, and saw that although there was a slight doubt in his eyes, but his face was unmoved, I felt more and more that all this was planned long ago.

"You don't like it?"

Han Dongcheng didn't answer why he chose me, but instead asked me meaningfully if I liked it.

So what if you like it?Could it be that he knew I was short of money and was very interested in this ad, so he chose me?

"You like games very much, this role is the most suitable for you to play."

I didn't say anything, and Han Dongcheng seemed to be sure that I would like it, which made me feel that the so-called suitability in the latter sentence was just a lie.

"It's one thing that I like it, and it doesn't need your special care."

Han Dongcheng saw that I was so eloquent, and his handsome face, which was used to being cold and solemn, seemed to have a more understanding expression, a touch of softness, and a touch of joy was revealed.

"I know."

I saw the faint warmth in Han Dongcheng's eyes, which made a thin layer of smile appear on his handsome face, which made me a little panicked.

"Tell me your bank card number."

Because of his smile, I was even more sure that Han Dongcheng deliberately opened the back door for me, which made me even more sneer at the money.

"I'll give you back the money. I won't do this advertisement."

Seeing Han Dongcheng's unmoved look, I became a little anxious, and quickly added: "If you don't want the money, I'll send it to the finance side. I know the company's account number on the finance side."

Han Dongcheng finally raised his eyebrows with his determined tone after eating the weight, as if he deliberately waited for me to finish speaking before explaining.

"If you must terminate this agreement, I have no objection, but I can't make the decision about the agreement you signed!"

Han Dongcheng's words made me puzzled and surprised.

After looking at Han Dongcheng puzzledly, I saw a faint soft light shining in his eyes, which added a touch of charming color to his handsome face. I avoided Han Dongcheng's sight and listened to him continue to feel uncomfortable. No delay in explaining.

"I signed a contract with you, and there is another person in charge of this project. If you must terminate the contract, I will find the person in charge of Haina tomorrow and discuss the termination of the contract."

Naturally, when I came to Han Dongcheng, it was Yuezu who was acting as my agent. The person who is really in charge of this project is not Han Dongcheng, but Han Dongcheng's subordinates.

Seeing that Han Dongcheng didn't insist and agreed to my request, I felt relieved. Although the money was painful enough for me, I am not reluctant at all now. I don't need Han Dongcheng's gift like a charity .

"Then it's settled, we'll see you tomorrow."

I was a little worried that Han Dongcheng would go back on his word. After I said this, I picked up my bag and prepared to leave. I didn't see a trace of loneliness flashing across Han Dongcheng's face behind me. I couldn't even say a serious goodbye. No, but chose to walk away.

I took a taxi and went back, as if I had completely drawn the line with Han Dongcheng, but at the same time I couldn't help but recall the scene of eating just now, as if something was waving to me faintly.

Back at the residence, after taking a shower, she sat down on the soft blanket, and was about to watch TV for a while to sleep, when Ye Xiaoran's phone call came in.

"I just came back from work, and my phone is out of power. Do you have anything to do with me? Have you found a job?"

Ye Xiaoran's straightforward voice made me believe in her a little more. After a moment of pondering, I told Ye Xiaoran how I met Han Dongcheng today and how I wanted to end the endorsement.

"Although 80 is very attractive, I don't think I should take the money."

I thought Ye Xiaoran would call me stupid, or directly support me in doing so, but I didn't expect that after she pondered for a while, she seemed to remind me: "Hua Nuan, it seems that Xuantian Technology doesn't have a subsidiary like Haina, right? "

I couldn't help laughing and said:
"Regardless of whether Xuantian has a subsidiary like Haina, since Han Dongcheng has agreed, I will terminate the contract."

It's Han Dongcheng I don't want to owe, not Haina, let alone Xuantian.

Ye Xiaoran finally said calmly:

"If you must terminate the contract, then do so."

I thought Ye Xiaoran felt sorry for my 80 yuan, so I hung up the phone and continued to watch TV without thinking too much about it.

The next day, Han Dongcheng's assistant called and asked me to come over to negotiate at 11:30. The address was the conference room on the [-]th floor of the headquarters of Xuantian Technology Building.

Before, a company invited me for an interview at ten o'clock in the morning, and the address happened to be near the headquarters of Xuantian Building. I was going to go directly to Xuantian Technology after the interview.

The interview went much smoother than I expected, and it ended in only half an hour. After discussing the salary and benefits as usual, I checked the time and rushed to Xuantian headquarters on foot.

Xuantian Building is located in the center of the city, with a very good location. In addition, the high floor is as dazzling as a medal of the city. There is a foldable parking lot next to the building, and all kinds of cars drive in and out slowly. .

Looking at the time, it was a little early, and I was a little hesitant to sit in the cafe opposite.

Because of this hesitation, I saw several figures at the entrance of the cafe.

The handsome Han Dongcheng, the elegant Ji Mingchuan, the potbellied man with glasses and crew cut, and the white-collar woman in a suit and skirt.

Seeing those four people walk into the cafe, I paused for a moment, but followed them.

Elegant cafe, half submerged in sunlight, half submerged in shadow, long brown table, rattan chairs, a mahogany screen inlaid with gold and satin, a bit of the color of the Republic of China, I sat on this side of the screen, listening to the screen That side of the conversation.

"Mr. Ji, if the agreement is cancelled, we will lose a lot of commission just for Zilin."

The voice of the female white-collar worker was somewhat bitter and conscientious, reminding the decision maker of the decision.

But Ji Mingchuan didn't speak, but the crew cut man on one side had already spoken.

"Xiao Gao, since Mr. Ji and Mr. Han have made such a decision, you just have to prepare the contract."

After hearing this, the female white-collar worker looked somewhat reluctant, and said lightly: "Miss Qiu's commercial was shot very well, Mr. Han, why don't you explain to Miss Qiu that our president is because She is the one who is suitable."

I don't know where the courage of that female white-collar worker called Xiao Gao came from, I only know that she is still trying to convince Han Dongcheng for Ji Mingchuan.

"Xiao Gao needless to say, since Mr. Han has already said Hua Nuan's wishes, we should respect the decision of the parties."

"But, the contract is signed~"

"It's good that the two of you signed the agreement with Mr. Han in the past. There is no need to say anything else. If you think you can make decisions on my behalf, I sincerely invite you to lead."

In Ji Mingchuan's voice, there was a rare seriousness that could not be provoked, which made Xiao Gao speechless.

And Han Dongcheng didn't say a word from the beginning to the end.

Ye Xiaoran reminded me last night that when Xuantian didn't have a subsidiary like Haina, I didn't think much about it. The reason why I thought all this was just a drama planned by Han Dongcheng was partly because of his specious misleading, and What is half?

The other half, is it because you think that Han Dongcheng is kind enough to take care of me?

"Mr. Han, if Ms. Qiu disagrees with this commercial, we may have to find another spokesperson. The game will be closed and tested on the [-]rd next month. Before then, our publicity must be in place."

The flat-headed man reminded Han Dongcheng, I clenched my lips for my stupidity, why didn't I think of the game that Chengju cooperated with Xuantian, why didn't I think that the reason why Han Dongcheng neither admitted nor denied it was because Does he want to cover up for Ji Mingchuan?

Haina is a subsidiary of Chengju Tianxia, ​​and Ji Mingchuan is the big boss of Chengju. This advertisement is probably more about Ji Mingchuan.

I was wrong about everything, and I still treated money like dung in front of Han Dongcheng.

"It's almost time, let's go."

Han Dongcheng's voice was as calm as the horizontal line when the sea and sky were the same color. I stood up, holding the wrinkled agreement that I had grasped, and when I stood beside the screen, I saw Han Dongcheng's stern face change color. , and Ji Mingchuan, who hadn't seen him for a few days, seemed to be a little thinner, and when Han Dongcheng's face changed, he saw me who suddenly appeared, and his handsome face suddenly became stiff.

"There's no need to go there, just terminate the contract here, save time and trouble, and save the two presidents from trouble."

My face was calm, and I didn't seem to have any unhappy emotions. I pressed the agreement on the long table and looked around for a week, with an air of urgency.

"Painting warm?"

Ever since I met Ji Mingchuan, I have never seen his expression so uneasy.

"Mr. Ji, please take out that agreement as well. Mr. Ji's money will be credited immediately."

I took out the tablet computer in my hand, and I can log in to the Internet at any time, and I can pay the 80 at any time.

"Miss Qiu~"

The white-collar worker surnamed Gao wanted to say something after seeing this, but he glanced at Ji Mingchuan's face and said nothing, and then glanced at Han Dongcheng for help, and the latter ordered in a flat tone: "Take out the agreement."

The female white-collar worker surnamed Gao took out the agreement. After Han Dongcheng took it, she folded it together with the agreement I put on the long table in her hand, and handed it to me.

"Thank you Mr. Han for your help!"

I took over the agreement unceremoniously, ignored Han Dongcheng's seemingly unsightly expression, turned to look at Ji Mingchuan and said, "And Mr. Ji's good intentions, I think you think highly of me."

In front of four people, I tore up that agreement, divided it into two parts, and divided it into four parts...

There are dozens of thick sheets of paper, and it takes a lot of effort to tear them apart. I looked at the gradually dimming light in Ji Mingchuan's eyes, serious and silent, but showed a smile and said, "Please take the picture when the time comes." Send me the negatives."

After I finished speaking, I turned around with what I considered to be an elegant posture, and the high-heeled shoes stepped on the floor crisply, and I threw away the snowflake-like pieces of paper. When I turned around and went downstairs, my steps were even more brisk, so fast that I almost sprained my feet.

"Painting warm!"

When I was 200 meters away from the cafe, and I was frowning because I couldn’t wait for a taxi, Ji Mingchuan’s voice sounded. I didn’t expect that Ji Mingchuan would chase him out. If I were to be the spokesperson, I would believe it. With his character, I would also believe in silently waiting for him when he knew that I would not forgive him.

So when I saw the apology and worry on Ji Mingchuan's handsome face, I felt that he was too restless.

"It's okay, now we don't owe anyone, thank you for your kindness, I almost got 80."

The more I laughed and the more relaxed I spoke, the harder Ji Mingchuan's expression became.

Seeing that I was about to get into a taxi with a smile and waving, Ji Mingchuan grabbed me with strength beyond my imagination. Just before I could stand still, I could only feel my body Leaning, she fell into Ji Mingchuan's arms.

"Sorry, Nuan Nuan."

Ji Mingchuan's voice is still so nice, this seems to be the second time he hugged me, the first time was because a motorcycle passed by, it was an instinctive worry, but this time it was different, I felt the strength of Ji Mingchuan After being unable to break free, he did not struggle with all his strength.

If we say that the first time Ji Mingchuan went to the Han family to apologize, he was a little official, a little rational, a little reserved, and a little calm.

So now Ji Mingchuan is not calm.

His tone was sincere, his breath was fresh, and his embrace was warm. This really didn't seem like what Ji Mingchuan should do.

"It doesn't matter, Ji Mingchuan, maybe our fate has not yet come, so we are destined not to take the step where the world is old. That is not your fault, nor is it my fault. Maybe it is just a joke of God."

My voice was calm, and my breath was on Ji Mingchuan's shoulder, but after feeling that Ji Mingchuan seemed to exert more strength, he relaxed, and after slowly pushing me away, his eyebrows and eyes, which are always good at smiling, tightened unconsciously , as if I had said something heart-wrenching.

"I came up with the idea of ​​letting you be the spokesperson, and I proposed the idea of ​​giving you a labor fee. I want you to accept this endorsement in the name of Dongcheng, because your temperament is suitable for the soul role of this game. I want to see you happy doing what you like."

Ji Mingchuan stretched out his knuckle fingers, just like some time before we were about to get married, he very naturally hooked the hair dancing in the wind next to my cheeks behind my ears.

Ji Mingchuan does have the potential to be a good husband, gentle and considerate.

Of course, other than that, he is still a proud son of heaven, an elite who has flourished in the business world. If he hadn't spent the past ten years with Liang Yuyou, if he hadn't left me for Liang Yuyou, I think we will come together.

I nodded and looked at Ji Mingchuan who was as tall as ever. He seemed to be more humble and cautious, although his smile was not as relaxed as before. No need to do it."

However, Ji Mingchuan just looked at me with a pair of clear eyes with a hint of guilt, and didn't promise me not to do anything anymore.

"Hua Nuan, you are a girl worthy of being distressed."

The corners of Ji Mingchuan's lips were slightly pursed, and his tone was not sensational, which made his handsome face look dignified.

"Thank you for your compliment, Ji Mingchuan, I'm not that fragile."

I stroked the other hand he seemed reluctant to let go, turned around and looked at the taxi driving over there, and walked over quickly, the early summer wind blowing on my face, it was warm.

Not far away, Han Dongcheng's figure stood in the corner of his eyes. I didn't look up to see his expression. I just quickly got into the taxi and told the address to the master immediately. Ji Mingchuan's figure was still there outside the window. , and I stared straight ahead without taking a second look.

It's not that I can't forgive, but I'm too stubborn, so stubborn that I think that ignoring a person's apology like this may be the best way to face it.

It's just that my mind was confused, and when the driver of the taxi called me to get off the bus, I felt that the time was so fast, and a few ten minutes passed in a daze.

Ji Mingchuan, who hadn't seen him for several days, expressed his apology in the way he thought, which can be described as well-intentioned.
