My ex boyfriend won't let me fall in love
Chapter 116
"Manager Jiang, this is the list of people who will be interviewing today, please have a look." The woman in professional suit handed the folder to Jiang Yuan.
His secretary has recently resigned, and he is closing the year. There are so many things to do, so he can only recruit another one.
Jiang Yuan looked at the information at a glance, and asked casually: "Why is there so many fewer people in the company today?"
The female clerk said: "There is a problem with the partner. We need to send a special person to re-investigate in detail a large number of people. The development cooperation case with Jiangnan Real Estate was officially signed today, and a foreign delegation came again. It just happened to arrive today, and someone was sent to receive it. I don’t know what happened, but everything caught up with today. And people from other companies on the lower floors had a party at the end of last year, so we are the only ones left.”
Speaking of this, envy inevitably lingered in her voice.
Recently, things have happened one after another in the company. Even the chairman has been taken away. I don’t know if there is any future. Manager Jiang’s assistant, Secretary Chen, has a lot of dealings with various parties. Maybe he just resigned after knowing something. .
Jiang Yuan knew that people in the company were fluctuating recently, but he couldn't do anything about it. In other words, even he himself felt a little confused when thinking about the future, so he could only ask instead: "By the way, what about the inspection team?"
The inspection team he mentioned came suddenly yesterday. He said that because the chairman had an accident recently, shareholders had doubts about the company, so an inspection team was formed to investigate the company's financial problems.
The chairman's accident had already caused panic in the company, but when this happened again, it would not let people take a breather.
"People from the inspection team came here yesterday, but they said that their leaders haven't arrived yet, and they just started today." She said, looking at her watch, "Manager Wang brought someone to receive them, and they should be here soon."
The phone on the desk rang suddenly.
"Manager Jiang, the leader of the inspection team asked you to come over."
Jiang Yuan guessed in his heart, could something have happened?He is in charge of personnel affairs, if there is a problem with personnel affairs, it will be troublesome.
On the way to the office, he met a young man from the inspection team, about 27 or [-] years old, with a handsome appearance and a dignified temperament.
The name seems to be Zong Shen.
Jiang Yuan has some impressions of this person. When he came with the inspection team yesterday, the young girls on the whole floor were discussing it.
The appearance is already one in a million, and the words and deeds can easily tell that the family is not ordinary. The real high-quality rich second generation, rich husband and blue-chip stock, even if you don't want to climb up, it doesn't hinder you from chatting.
However, Jiang Yuan felt that this had nothing to do with him. In fact, he was more concerned about whether this person was a relative of a certain shareholder, and what purpose he had in the inspection team.
"Did Manager Jiang not sleep well yesterday? He looks a little tired." Zong Shen asked.
Jiang Yuan cheered up when he heard the words, and smiled reluctantly: "Recently there have been a lot of things. After all, it is approaching the end of the year, but I think I am in good condition. Thank you Mr. Zong for your concern."
Zong Shen didn't continue to ask about this, he took out a pack of open candies from the paper bag he was carrying: "Mints, do you want them? I've been sleepy lately, so I bought them specially for refreshing myself."
No matter where, sharing food is one of the most effective ways to get closer, and Jiang Yuan will naturally not refuse.
He said with a friendly smile: "It has solved my urgent need."
After speaking, he reached out and took three mints in the bag.
Zong Shen: "You can try it now, it tastes good."
Jiang Yuan also followed his words, peeled one and stuffed it into his mouth. He didn't have extra energy to eat candy during working hours, so he chewed and swallowed it: "It's delicious."
Zong Shen smiled slightly: "Just like it."
When we parted, Jiang Yuan felt a little more relaxed, and he was able to treat him to candy. It seems that the investigation team is not here to cause trouble.
But this relaxed mood fell to the bottom of the valley in an instant after knocking on the door of the meeting room three times and being allowed to enter.
There were two people inside, both of whom he knew very well.
One is the rising actor Fang Lingfei, a big star in the entertainment industry, and the other——
Lu Xingshen tilted his head slightly, revealing a handsome and stern face.
"Jiang Yuan." He said.
"Lu Xing—Young Master Lu." Jiang Yuan opened his mouth, and finally spit out such a title.
Fang Lingfei was curious: "Do you know him? That's right, he is an employee of Gu's, and he knows him well."
Jiang Yuan is fidgeting, he is a promising young man supported by the Gu family, and Lu Xingshen is the son of the chairman of the Gu family who lives outside. In the past few years, he has met so many times, and Jiang Yuan is worried every time. , and every time I am glad that Lu Xingchen may have forgotten about that matter.
This time he was also worried, but at the same time, he thought with a weird sense of joy. He used to worry about being retaliated and losing his promising job. Shi, struggle again, and even monsters have come out, this world doesn't know what will become.
After working so hard for so long, Jiang Yuan is not heartbroken, but he thinks that Lu Xingshen will have a bigger gap than him, from a high-ranking rich man to an ordinary person, maybe he will have to bear the debt with the Gu family , There is a secret joy in my heart.
Even if he knew that this kind of thinking was wrong, and knew that it was harming others and benefiting himself, he couldn't control his thoughts.
Lu Xingshen was not interested in exploring what he was thinking, and said as if he was instructing Manager Wang of the finance department, "Remember to follow the arrangement during the inspection."
"Okay." Jiang Yuan agreed, and waited again.
Lu Xingshen raised his eyelashes: "Is there anything else?"
Jiang Yuan stood up: "It's okay, then... I'll go out first."
Leaving the meeting room, Jiang Yuan couldn't help but look back when he was about to close the door with his backhand.
In the room, Lu Xingshen looked sideways at Fang Lingfei. There seemed to be a flash of gold in his slightly closed eyelashes, but when he looked closely, they were still the same color as black jade.
Jiang Yuan didn't think much, and closed the door with a "click".
The female employee approached him and asked, "Manager, what did the leader of the inspection team say? How is he?"
"Why are you asking so many questions? Have you finished all the work at hand? Now is working time, not for you to gossip." Jiang Yuan said impatiently.
The female staff was taken aback for a moment, then said in a low voice, "Okay, okay."
After speaking, he hurried away with fear on his face.
Jiang Yuan paused. He used to know that he had no background and no parents to rely on, so he always paid attention to being kind to others. With the convenience of being in charge of personnel, he got along well with people from all departments of the company. The female employee was also because of this. Only dare to gossip in front of him, and there is no big taboo in speaking.But today, for some reason, it was like a bomb was planted in his heart, which made him irritable and uneasy, unable to control his temper.
He attributed it to meeting Lu Xingshen.
In the conference room, Fang Lingfei asked: "That person seemed a little afraid of you just now, did he recognize you?"
What he meant was that he recognized Lu Xingshen as the "big brother" who was called by everyone on the Internet.
Lu Xingshen: "No, I just knew each other before."
Fang Lingfei blinked, keenly feeling that this past, by no means these four years, should be earlier.
Lu Xingshen: "Want to know?"
Fang Lingfei nodded: "Yes!"
He wanted to know anything about Lu Xingchen, but when he was dating in college, Lu Xingchen never mentioned it. Fang Lingfei was worried that asking too much would make his lover feel urgent, so he didn't ask.
For Lu Xingshen, there was nothing worth nostalgic about in his past life, and naturally there was nothing worth remembering. He has a photographic memory, but he is also good at forgetting.
But since Fang Lingfei wanted to know, there was nothing he had to say.
Lu Xingshen: "He and I came from an orphanage. When we were in high school, a company came to the school to choose to sponsor students. He said I cheated in the exam."
Fang Lingfei was astonished. Even if he had no experience, he could hear too much hidden information from such a short sentence.
"...The company that sponsors the students is Gu's?"
Lu Xing nodded, calmly: "Yes."
In the second year of high school, people from the Gu family went to the school to choose student aid. Lu Xingshen's grades were among the best in those years, but they were not stable. Needing to work overtime, he even sacrificed the time for the exam, so he didn't finish answering the questions, so his grades fluctuated up and down.
The teacher knew that he was an orphan, but he was also quite critical, and persuaded him more than once to let him enter society later.
Because in their view, Jiang Yuan is also a child of an orphanage, but Jiang Yuan did not rush to sacrifice his study time for part-time work.
Jiang Yuan naturally didn't need it.
Nine-year compulsory education, the orphanage can only support the child until the child finishes junior high school. Their orphanage is better, but it is only enough to provide a few children for high school. The extra money needs to be used to treat children with disabilities.
When choosing which child to support in high school, the dean chose Jiang Yuan.
This is not only because Jiang Yuan has a good temper and good personality in the orphanage, and Lu Xingshen is so arrogant and arrogant, but also because Lu Xingshen has started to use odd hours to do part-time jobs since junior high school, has already started to earn money, and often can give something back to others. orphanage.
Lu Xingshen had no objection. Although he was still young, he could see some things surprisingly clearly, and he was also surprisingly cold. He never felt that others should treat him well and favor him.
Without expectations, no matter what the dean chooses, he will naturally be at ease.
If it continues like this, then it's fine, but when Gu came to the school in the second year of high school, he chose Lu Xingshen for funding. This matter was not publicized. When Jiang Yuan asked, Lu Xingshen told him casually, and he felt so happy , High school is busy with schoolwork, if there is a company that can fund the remaining two years, then he can spend more time on his studies and work part-time.
When thinking about it like this, he didn't notice Jiang Yuan's jealous and unwilling eyes.
At that time, the monthly exam was going on, and Jiang Yuan and Lu Xingshen were in the same exam room. Halfway through, he raised his hand to report that Lu Xingchen had cheated. This review note.
Jiang Yuan knew that Lu Xingchen always stepped into the examination room, and also knew that Lu Xingchen didn't know how to check and didn't have much time to check the drawers, so he secretly took Lu Xingchen's notes and put them in that drawer.
The two insisted on their own opinions. The school invited parents, but none of them had parents, so they called the director of the orphanage.
There was no surveillance in the examination room, and Jiang Yuan released it early, but no one saw it. The reason for calling the dean was to ask the two people about their usual habits and character, and then decide how to deal with it.
Ever since he was a child, Lu Xingshen has been independent, strong, proud, handsome, and he can do almost everything well. He is better than any child in the orphanage, even better than any child of the same age. Almost all children have low self-esteem sensitivity.
On the other hand, Jiang Yuan is gentle, has a good temper, can play with children of any age, always helps behind the dean's mother, and even speaks in a gentle voice, which is liked by many people in the orphanage.
The dean's mother told the school that both were good boys, but after the school repeatedly questioned their personalities, she favored Jiang Yuan.
She didn't know the truth, but she felt that Lu Xingshen was far stronger than Jiang Yuan, and this matter might not affect him.
In the end, Lu Xingshen's homeroom teacher and math teacher fought for this matter, so he didn't remember it, but a new person was selected for funding, which happened to be Jiang Yuan.
Lu Xingshen asked Jiang Yuan later, Jiang Yuan looked away and told him with absurd guilt that a long-term sponsor of the orphanage was suddenly cut off, he had no source of tuition and tuition fees, and he wanted to go to school.
He also said sorry to Lu Xingchen.
Lu Xingshen said it was okay, and then grabbed him by the neck in front of everyone in the orphanage. Others came to pull him, but they were unmoved. They didn't let go until Jiang Yuan was dying, and beat Jiang Yuan again.
His fighting skills are probably innate. Since he was a child, he has naturally known which places to fight will cause life-threatening danger, and which places are painful but will not cause unnecessary damage.
Lu Xing's sinking caused unnecessary damage to Jiang Yuan. Although he hated Jiang Yuan, he would not catch himself.
But this time when they came to fight, the dean's mother said, "You have a bad temper since you were a child, but how can you beat others for no reason?" This caused a deep gap between them.
In the teacher's office, Lu Xingshen was not sad when the dean favored Jiang Yuan.
In his opinion, the dean didn't know the inside story, so he had to choose one, and it was not surprising that she chose Jiang Yuan, which she liked better.
Lu Xingchen, who didn't feel any resentment at that time, suddenly felt a little sad when she said such a sentence.
Only a little.
Later, Lu Xingshen worked hard to study and was admitted to Shanghai City University. There were also other companies who wanted to sponsor him, but he refused. He would still send part of the money from his work to the orphanage, but he never went back to see it.
This is the whole story between him, Jiang Yuan, and the orphanage.
His secretary has recently resigned, and he is closing the year. There are so many things to do, so he can only recruit another one.
Jiang Yuan looked at the information at a glance, and asked casually: "Why is there so many fewer people in the company today?"
The female clerk said: "There is a problem with the partner. We need to send a special person to re-investigate in detail a large number of people. The development cooperation case with Jiangnan Real Estate was officially signed today, and a foreign delegation came again. It just happened to arrive today, and someone was sent to receive it. I don’t know what happened, but everything caught up with today. And people from other companies on the lower floors had a party at the end of last year, so we are the only ones left.”
Speaking of this, envy inevitably lingered in her voice.
Recently, things have happened one after another in the company. Even the chairman has been taken away. I don’t know if there is any future. Manager Jiang’s assistant, Secretary Chen, has a lot of dealings with various parties. Maybe he just resigned after knowing something. .

"Manager Jiang, the leader of the inspection team asked you to come over."
Jiang Yuan guessed in his heart, could something have happened?He is in charge of personnel affairs, if there is a problem with personnel affairs, it will be troublesome.
On the way to the office, he met a young man from the inspection team, about 27 or [-] years old, with a handsome appearance and a dignified temperament.
The name seems to be Zong Shen.
Jiang Yuan has some impressions of this person. When he came with the inspection team yesterday, the young girls on the whole floor were discussing it.
The appearance is already one in a million, and the words and deeds can easily tell that the family is not ordinary. The real high-quality rich second generation, rich husband and blue-chip stock, even if you don't want to climb up, it doesn't hinder you from chatting.

"Did Manager Jiang not sleep well yesterday? He looks a little tired." Zong Shen asked.
Jiang Yuan cheered up when he heard the words, and smiled reluctantly: "Recently there have been a lot of things. After all, it is approaching the end of the year, but I think I am in good condition. Thank you Mr. Zong for your concern."
Zong Shen didn't continue to ask about this, he took out a pack of open candies from the paper bag he was carrying: "Mints, do you want them? I've been sleepy lately, so I bought them specially for refreshing myself."
No matter where, sharing food is one of the most effective ways to get closer, and Jiang Yuan will naturally not refuse.

When choosing which child to support in high school, the dean chose Jiang Yuan.
This is not only because Jiang Yuan has a good temper and good personality in the orphanage, and Lu Xingshen is so arrogant and arrogant, but also because Lu Xingshen has started to use odd hours to do part-time jobs since junior high school, has already started to earn money, and often can give something back to others. orphanage.
