offenders

eight years later

the morning after christmas

Yan Jiang was awakened by the sound of the stone thumping. He twisted his neck, which was hard from sleeping in the car, rubbed his temples, and looked out the window.

The sky had already turned white, and a few elementary school students passing by the village road for morning classes were picking up stones and throwing his car for fun.

Yan Jiang didn't care about those children, he started the car, turned on the air conditioner, and adjusted the back of the car seat to make himself more comfortable.

"Wake up! Run!"

The children outside the car scattered when they saw him wake up.

Yan Jiang didn't bother to see if the car was injured, he just raised his hand and touched the corner of his eye.

He was out of order again last night, sleeping in the car all night with undeliverable gifts and empty wine bottles.

Now the corners of his eyes are still a little wet, but the area around the eye sockets is dry and painful.

He dreamed of Li Ai. .

Yan Jiang pushed open the car door, stretched his limbs in the cold morning air, took out his cigarette case and lit a cigarette.

Then he turned on the phone.

His abnormality must be controlled within eight hours, and he has to deal with the company's affairs, and he has to go to work as usual.

He allowed himself to be out of his mind thinking about Li Ai for a while, even if it was a privilege reserved only for Li Ai.

Li Ai has been away for eight years, and he feels that he is much more normal, but he still misses him constantly.

He really wanted to see Li Ai's current appearance, even if he passed by for a while.

At the work meeting at the end of the year, the company's two major shareholders, Lin Jun in charge of technology and Wei Yong in charge of sales, had another quarrel over financing.

The directors of the company took refuge in both sides in private, but they looked at Yan Jiang without making a statement at the meeting.

Yan Jiang was at one end of the table, listening to their quarrel but didn't say much, and pulled Lin Jun down before he was so excited that he almost climbed up the table.

After the meeting, Wei Yong will be called to the office.

Wei Yong couldn't bear the impulsiveness of Lin Jun, a young and technical man, and often wanted to find Yan Jiang to complain.

"Lin Jun is too impatient. You have to rein him in. Going abroad for financing is not about shopping for LV. How can you just go as you say? He keeps saying that he has been in the United States all day long. We don't understand him. What does he mean? We are all bumpkins, right? So what if he has studied abroad? Studying abroad and knowing how to finance are two different things!"

Yan Jiang intends to listen to his complaint first.Yan Jiang agrees with Lin Jun's point of view in his heart. Sooner or later, the company will take the step of financing when it expands.But now he has to coordinate the opinions of the old and new age groups in the company, and he usually expresses his position slowly.

The old directors represented by Wei Yong are not willing to take risks, Yan Jiang can only try to persuade them little by little.

Yan Jiang waited for Wei Yong to say enough before speaking:

"I hired a consulting company that is familiar with overseas listings. This matter is not something that can be settled by slapping your head. Lin Jun listens, and we all listen to it by the way. I plan to arrange a management training at the annual meeting. Next year I think Cooperate with consulting companies to adjust the management system and work process."

"Management training? Who will give it?"

"Consulting firms have a lot of familiar people who they recommend."

Wei Yong was a little bit angry with Lin Jun, and this would be calmed down slowly by Yan Jiang. He took a puff of cigarette and nodded.

"Young general, you are the one who can hold on. Your sister is still afraid that you will be like Lin Jun. Your head is hot and confused"

Yan Jiang said with a smile

"She said that I have never been cold since my forehead was hot."

Wei Yong is happy

"Leave her alone, with you here, our old shareholders will be at ease."

In fact, in the early days of the company's establishment, Wei Yong was the one who made Wei Yong most uneasy.

Twice in eight years he stood on the brink of bankruptcy, and each time he passed he felt dead.

In the past, Li Ai always said that he should control emotional behavior, but now he has already learned it.

After finishing the business, Wei Yong changed the subject, took advantage of the victory and pursued, and began to disturb others:

"Hurry up and get married, and we will be more at ease."

"Don't rush me like my sister"

"My mother came to me yesterday. She is not in good health. She wants you to get married first."

"I don't want to end"

"why?"

"I don't know, I'm afraid of marriage."

"Then you can't be so afraid all the time, right? A big man cultivates his body, keeps his family together, and balances the world. There is an order. If you don't get married, you won't be safe. There will always be times when you are a little impulsive."

Yan will hear the tone at the end of his words and ask

"Are you afraid that I will be dissatisfied and mentally unhealthy? Don't worry, I have enough nightlife, and I won't be dissatisfied."

Wei Yong simply broke it and said

"That's different. Those outside are different from the family after all. It will be even more different after having children. The women at home are the chicken soup for the soul who understands your thoughts. Look at me and your sister."

Yan will immediately put out the cigarette and stand up

"You and my sister's love, don't show it during working hours. I have an appointment and I have to leave first. I will talk to Lin Jun later."

He is not afraid of anything now, but he is afraid of hearing the word "marriage". He originally thought that there would be fewer people talking about getting engaged, but he didn't expect more.Now as soon as he hears about getting married, he wants to run away.

He didn't want to lose his qualification to pursue Li Ai, even if Li Ai never came back, he didn't want to.

Yan Jiang once wanted to go to the United States to find Li Ai, but in the end he didn't.

He has tasted the bitter fruit of using threats to gain affection, and now he knows that he is no longer so selfish.Ye Changan's accusations were all correct, he was indeed a selfish bastard back then.

Two years ago, Yan Jiang met Ye Chang'an at a transnational trade conference.

Ye Changan was invited as a guest speaker. His consulting career in the United States has already reached a considerable scale, and he has achieved success both at home and abroad.

Speaking will be present as a successful young entrepreneur in recent years.

Ye Changan saw Yan Jiang, and Yan Jiang also saw him.

They looked at each other for a while at the banquet at a distance of more than ten meters.

Yan Jiang could hardly control himself, and wanted to rush over to ask him——is Li Ai okay?where is he?

But in the end Yan Jiang turned his head and left.

He dared to chat with the bosses of any multinational corporation present, but Ye Changan was the only one who couldn't.

Ye Changan took away his favorite person, Li Ai chose Ye Changan, he was afraid to hear Ye Changan describe his and Li Ai's life in America.

Sometimes, Yan Jiang would have a vicious desire in his heart, wishing to see Li Ai become old, ugly and stupid, and Ye Changan no longer wanted him.

Then he can only come back to him.
