Chapter 91
It's not that Cheng Jia doesn't understand Li Ye's feelings for her, nor is she unmoved.But love is very strange. She still misses Gao Zhan every day. Although it doesn't make her heart-piercing pain like before, she still feels that she is Gao Zhan's woman.

No matter how Cheng Jia pretends, she is still a woman deep in her heart.Missing Gao Zhan, and relying on Li Ye.Whether it's the workers at the loading station or the drivers, she's not good at dealing with them. When their dark faces and white eyes stare, Cheng Jia will be nervous. At that time, with Li Ye by her side, she Be grounded -- grounded without cause.

Cheng Jia packed her luggage, and she wanted to take her child to live in a yurt near Chengling for two days - Gao Zhan was there.

Cheng Jia and Sister Liu greeted each other and set off.

She put away her luggage and took the child to Gao Zhan's tomb.

Gao Cheng and Gao Miao walked around the tomb, pulling weeds for a while, and putting a bunch of wild flowers for a while, and then they ran and played, while Cheng Jia sat alone.

"Gao Zhan, do you think his son has grown taller? The students in his class have already changed their voices. The voices are very strange. If you were here, you would also find it funny!"

Cheng Jia laughed to herself, and continued:
"You invited Li Ye back and helped me a lot. His son is playing very well with Yu'er. They are in a kindergarten now. Didn't you say that you hope your daughter will be happy for the rest of her life? You don't have to worry about it for now, someone has done it for you Sicheng doesn't allow Yu'er to suffer any grievances. A few days ago, Yu'er's clothes were stepped on by other children, and that child even got into a fight with him, digging out his face..."

Cheng Jia laughed while talking, as if Gao Zhan was chatting with her by her side.

She stretched out her hand to caress the cold tombstone, and continued:

"I'm fine too, it's just... I feel very lonely alone, I miss you very much!"

Cheng Jia sighed and fell into a long silence.

A car drove over quickly in the distance, with a long trail of yellow dust behind it.

Gao Cheng and Gao Miao stopped playing, they stood and watched.

Xiao Li got out of the car and walked over quickly.

"Boss Cheng!"

Cheng Jia stood up, "How do you know I'm here?"

Xiao Li left in a hurry, panting and said, "I'll know as soon as you come! The staff here told me!"

Cheng Jia nodded, the project here is supervised by Xiao Li.

"You can't live here!" Xiao Li said eagerly.

"Why? I built it just to live here occasionally!" Cheng Jia said with wide-eyed eyes.

"I know! But Cheng Jia, you really can't spend the night here, it's a barren mountain, you guard..."

Xiao Li didn't know what to say.

Cheng Jia laughed.

"Mr. Li! It's okay, I'm not afraid!"

"That's not a question of whether you are afraid or not. You are a single woman with two children, and you are still rich, living in this inaccessible place..."

Xiao Li was so anxious that he almost jumped up and said loudly:

"Anyway, no matter what you say, you can't live here! If you want to live, I will arrange my wife and other people to live with you after a while. I can't just watch you messing around like this!"

Cheng Jia was speechless for a while, Xiao Li went directly to the yurt and loaded the luggage into the car.

"Cheng Jia! Let's go!"

He was so anxious that he almost jumped up.

It was approaching evening, and the afterglow of the setting sun was reflected in the western sky. Cheng Jia just looked at Xiao Li in the afterglow, his face was ashen and persistent.

Cheng Jia laughed, and she got into the car with the children.

In fact, we can always find warmth by accident in this world, maybe it's a greeting from a stranger, maybe it's a little effort from a passer-by, or maybe it's a friend who has been silently by your side...

"Thank you!" Cheng Jia said to Xiao Li.

Xiao Li shook his head and said nothing.

Cheng Jia silently calculated that Xiao Li spent more time with Gao Zhan than herself.Does Xiao Li regard her as a friend, or does he regard Gao Zhan as a friend?
She turned her head and looked at Gao Zhan's cemetery. Under the cover of the green hills, there was a layer of dim light. Cheng Jia thought in her heart: "Gao Zhan, did you ask him to come? Are you still here?" Silently protect us?"

……

From the window, Li Ye saw Cheng Jia coming back with big and small bags, and felt much more at ease in his heart. Hearing that Cheng Jia was going out to relax, his heart immediately became tense.

Will Cheng Jia just avoid him? He regrets what he said impulsively that day. He should be patient. It was because he was impatient more than ten years ago...

As soon as Sicheng heard that Gao Miao was back, he immediately ran over.

In the evening, Cheng Jia sat in Gao Cheng's room and watched his son do his homework.

He has grown a lot taller, his body frame is exactly the same as Gao Zhan's, and he looks more and more like him.

"Mom! Why are we suddenly back?"

"Uncle Li said it's not safe there!"

"Mom! I know you miss Dad very much, but I know Dad can't come back!"

Cheng Jia's eyes turned red all of a sudden, she hugged her son, since Gao Zhan passed away, this child has grown up all of a sudden, and he hasn't caused any trouble for himself.When Cheng Jia saw him, he would think of Gao Zhan. Gao Zhan should have been sensible a long time ago.

Cheng Jia feels sorry for Gao Cheng.

"Son, this is not something you should care about. Just play happily every day and study hard!"

"No, Mom! I'm going to take care of you, and I want you to be happy!"

Gao Cheng looked into his mother's eyes and continued to ask his mother: "Will you marry Uncle Li?"

Cheng Jia was very surprised: "Son, why do you ask such a question?"

"I can see that Uncle Li likes you very much!"

Cheng Jia stroked his head and said firmly, "Mom will never marry again! I will never marry Uncle Li!"

Gao Cheng said: "Mom, death is the end of everything. I read it from the book. Dad has already ended, but you haven't. I hope Mom is happy. As long as you are happy, I will support you! I don't want you to die again. Holding my father's pajamas and crying every day."

Cheng Jia hugged Gao Cheng all at once, and she shed tears.

"Thank you! Son, mother is very happy, and I am very happy with you!"

……

After the children fell asleep, Cheng Jia sat in the study with a towel, and carefully wiped Gao Zhan's stone over and over again, especially the stone that looked like braised pork. She wiped it until late at night, and then fell asleep on the chair went……

Li Ye continued to go to work as if nothing had happened, and continued to eat at Cheng Jia's house. Cheng Jia also pretended to be nonchalant, and everything was as usual.

The mine manager that Cheng Jia recruited for the coal mine has already adapted to the job, and now Li Ye just occasionally supervises and asks questions. It turned out that Gao Zhan’s coal mine had a mine manager, and Cheng Jia sent a chief engineer, and Gao Zhan’s original secretary was the deputy. In short, the management is already very tight and mature.

EEDS suddenly caught the trend of coal-to-liquids, many coal companies are investing in coal-to-liquids projects, and Li Ye is also eager to try.

But Cheng Jia disagreed, and Cheng Jia's reason was very good: the coal-to-oil technology was immature, and the investment was huge. She wanted to operate steadily and did not dare to follow suit. Li Ye was a little depressed.

"Coal has a low utilization rate and is a non-renewable resource. It must be a rare opportunity for us to invest in coal chemical industry. There are always many opportunities for new things. Why don't you even try? Wait until they are mature , I missed the best opportunity!"

Li Ye was a little impatient.

Cheng Jia always kept in mind Gao Zhan's instructions to her - no expansion and no big moves within ten years.she says:
"Although we are a coal company, our mining and transportation operations are relatively extensive, and we are completely separate from coal chemical industry. The industry is separated by a mountain, and the investment is so large. Are you sure?

The country's policy is not very clear, and its technology and application are not mature!We are not specialized in chemical industry. Where can we find such suitable professionals all at once? What emerging industries?What increases utilization?We have no technology!nobody!Isn't it just an empty concept in the end? "

"Technology can cooperate! People can recruit! You can't limit your vision!" Li Ye's tone became sharp.

Cheng Jia was very calm. She said: "The risk of investing in the project is too high, and now everyone is investing like a booing. It is really too risky. And it is a completely different business structure, which completely subverts all of our current operations. No one has ever done it before! We are fine now, why do we do such a high-risk thing?”

"People can't stand still for the sake of the existing stability, right? We need to develop!"

"Development also depends on what we are suitable for. The resources we have are only so few. Do you want to change the power plant to burn oil? What are the things produced? Can the car burn? I have already understood that it has limitations in application. Yes, and the storage is also very demanding, we don't have that capability!"

Li Ye blushed: "We don't have the equipment to build and research and develop. At the beginning, the coal in Inner Mongolia couldn't be shipped out? Isn't it also shipped out now?"

Cheng Jia's voice also became louder: "That's two different things!"

Li Ye stood up: "When I was discussing this project at the beginning, why didn't you say that you disagreed, I've been working hard for so long, now come and tell me this!"

Cheng Jia saw that he was in a hurry, and said slowly: "Li Ye! I didn't understand at first. You want to invest, but I can't dissuade you from your enthusiasm! But later I understand, I understand because of you. !"

With a livid face, Li Ye said angrily, "I realize that I don't understand you more and more! I don't know what you are thinking every day. In the coal mine, you arrange it all by yourself, and I am the supervisor, all of whom belong to you. In terms of distribution and sales, you plan by yourself, and I am an errand runner. In terms of business, you don’t need me, just tease with that Shen Yue, I am just a carefree person. To develop a project, you have already had an idea, so long Time didn't say a word, and treated me like a clown. Seeing that I'm almost dancing, it's not suitable! Then, what do you need me for? What do you want me to do by your side? Seeing how you can't forget Gao Zhan every day? Do you still look at you flirting with men every day, chatting with each other? Cheng Jia, you have changed! You are not the Cheng Jia I used to know at all! Your eyes are still so pure and innocent, but you are no longer!"

Li Ye slammed the door and went out.

Cheng Jia called him loudly: "Li Ye!"

Li Ye didn't look back, Cheng Jia shouted again in aggrieved way: "Li Ye, you bastard!"

When Li Ye returned to the office and heard Cheng Jia scolding him, he was panting heavily and slammed the table hard.

He hated being restrained the most. He sincerely wanted to help Cheng Jia, but Cheng Jia didn't need him at all.He had been preparing for the coal-to-oil project for a long time, but Cheng Jia never stopped him. He made such an announcement when the contract was about to be signed.

Li Ye picked up his briefcase and quickly walked out of the office - he had never been in this poor place in Inner Mongolia!
Li Ye took Sicheng back to Nanjing overnight.

Cheng Jia didn't expect Li Ye to explode all of a sudden, she thought that Li Ye would weigh the pros and cons by himself, and found that the project was not suitable for him.Unexpectedly, even after his youthful age, he was still a radical, eager to take risks when he mentioned adventure.Seven Star's investment back then was so large that the capital chain was tense, and Gao Zhan almost turned over the plate. He still doesn't have a long memory.

Cheng Jia didn't want to change her original intention, and she had to follow Gao Zhan's instructions. In her heart, Cheng Jia always trusted Gao Zhan, and what Gao Zhan said was at least the safest.

With Li Ye gone, the company suddenly seemed to have lost a lot of people. Cheng Jia came to her for everything. Cheng Jia was calm on the surface, but in fact it was too much trouble.

Back home, Gao Miao was not used to Sicheng's absence, and lost her temper at every turn. Cheng Jia couldn't stop eating, so she scolded Gao Miao.

Then the house was also quiet, and Cheng Jia suddenly felt extremely lost, and she thought to herself: just go!No one is destined to be with you!What should come will come, what should go will go!I can't delay Li Ye's life like this!He should have a wider world, instead of facing them - orphans and widows!
Cheng Jia was upset, she ran to the study and began to rub the stones again, thinking of Gao Zhan, and slowly thinking of Li Ye.

——As for making such a big fuss?Isn't it just a project?And say I've changed?Can anyone stand still?Is it mature or wrong?You come to the company headquarters, is it wrong for me to arrange someone I trust to go to the coal mine?Isn't it aimed at you?So what is right?You have the final say?Give you Gao Zhan's company to let you play to your fullest?

Cheng Jia threw away the towel and angrily went to the bathroom to take a bath.

Listening to the music, she thought of Gao Zhan again, and couldn't help crying.

"Gao Zhan, if only you were here? You all go one by one! What did I do wrong?"

She was sitting in the bathtub, crying aggrievedly...
