Chapter 10

When he returned to City C, Liang He felt inexplicably depressed. He hadn't calmed down just after he came back, and then he suddenly had a problem with his work.

On the day of his return, Liang He stayed overnight in Gu Yuan, and went to work at the magazine office on time the next day.Although she didn't have time to ask for leave due to special circumstances this time and she had explained to He Anmin in advance, she still thought it would be better to report to Lu Chengwen, after all, she still had many tasks to complete when she left.In addition, Risun Technology still has a lot of things to do, so I can't help but feel a little uneasy when I think about it.

Unexpectedly, Lu Chengwen was not there, leaving only the secretary to deal with work outside.

Liang He looked around and asked, "Is the editor-in-chief not here?"

Secretary Xiao Xu looked up at her, then turned back to the computer screen to continue the work at hand, "BOSS has gone to Risun Technology."

"Xuyang Technology?"

"Ah."

"Is there something wrong over there?" Sure enough, I was worried about something!She had been absent from work for a few days. Could it be that Zhou lost his temper and was unwilling to do an exclusive interview?Thinking of this, she couldn't help raising her voice, "Is there something wrong with Zhou Jing?"

Xiao Xu is a new college student and has a good relationship with Liang He. After looking around, she approached her and said in a low voice, "Hey, Reporter Liang, there is indeed something wrong with Risun Technology, but I don't know the specifics. , now the editor-in-chief is at Xuyang, why don't you go and have a look?"

Lu Chengwen rushed to Xuyang Technology early in the morning, and it seemed that the matter was not a trivial matter.Liang He was inexplicably irritable when he heard this, nodded helplessly, and walked out.

Risun Technology is located in the most prosperous CBD area of ​​C City, occupying the entire five floors of a central business building.In fact, according to Liang He's understanding, the main factories of Risun Technology are located in the suburbs of City B, and the main purpose of setting up the headquarters in the CBD area is to facilitate external contacts.Risun is not considered the leading player in China, because the communication equipment it operates is mainly for export, and occupies a large weight in the international market.In this way, it is understandable that Zhou was willing to spend a lot of money to rent the first five floors of this office building to decorate the facade.

Liang He learned from the interview that Zhou was actually a demobilized soldier. From business management to personal life, he had a crisp and neat military style, and he said the same about many things.Therefore, once you get into any trouble, I am afraid it will not be easy to return it.

Liang He stood in front of the building, took a deep breath, and walked inside.

Xuyang's reception is located on the first floor, and Liang He didn't have an appointment, so the reception lady couldn't let her in.Liang He had no choice but to mention that he was the author of President Zhou's autobiography, and hoped that the other party would be accommodating, who would want to receive a smile from the young lady.

"The president ordered that all interview offers will be canceled during this period. Your agency is no exception."

Liang He couldn't help being a little surprised. She was only absent from work for two or three days. How serious is the problem?In desperation, Liang He had no choice but to turn on his mobile phone and call Lu Chengwen.

The phone beeped a few times before being connected. Before Liang He could react, he heard Lu Chengwen's voice coming from the other end. It sounded a little far away, maybe it was in the outer corridor.

"Talk." He probably was in a bad mood and waited impatiently, with a bad tone.

Liang He hurriedly said, "It's me, the editor-in-chief, I'm downstairs"

After hearing her voice, the other side was silent for a while, and then spoke in a low voice, "Reporter Liang, it's really time for you to come."

Liang He kept silent, not knowing what to say

Lu Chengwen didn't give her time to think, and said directly: "Come up."

Zhou Jing has been stationed in Russia all year round. Many of the domestic businesses are handed over to his assistants. He concentrates on developing overseas markets. Liang He has been a reporter for Zhou Jing’s exclusive interview for a while, and it’s the first time he saw a real person today. surprise.According to Liang He's information, Zhou Jing is at least 50 years old, but the man in front of him seems to be in excellent condition, and there are only faint fine lines in the corners of his eyes, which cannot be seen clearly.

Liang He bowed slightly to him, and sat next to Lu Chengwen, opposite to Zhou Jing.From the corner of the eye, he took a peek at Lu Chengwen. This person was wearing a black suit today, and he was sitting at the side with a peaceful expression. There was no abnormality in his expression.

Lu Chengwen looked at her indifferently, "Explain to President Zhou the problems with the manuscript published in the previous issue."

Uh, manuscript?Liang He blinked and looked at Zhou Jing.

Zhou actually smiled slightly, and pushed the "Pioneer" magazine in front of Liang He towards Liang He. Liang He took a look and saw a conspicuous headline on the cover of the last issue of the magazine. She almost fainted after reading it.

Risun Technology committed another employee's suicide by jumping off a building!
Not only did they add an exclamation point, but they also bolded it with red letters, just to put people to death.It's just, when did she write such a manuscript?Although she has written a lot of manuscripts criticizing current affairs, she has always been lenient in her writing, let alone using such eye-catching titles.After quickly skimming through the content of the article, the author’s words were sharp, revealing between the lines his disappointment and reflection on Risun’s corporate culture, and at the end he compared Risun with a company that had a series of jumping off buildings.Claim: If Risun does not change its attitude towards employees, it will surely follow in its footsteps.

"Miss Liang is so good at writing, she gave such an ingenious gift on the [-]th anniversary of Xuyang."

Zhou actually leaned lazily on the soft chair, looking at Liang He with a slight smile in his eyes.

Liang He said in a low voice, "Mr. Zhou, you must know that every article published in our magazine is not groundless, and Xuyang does have problems in this regard." And as she spoke, she glanced at Cheng Lu Wen, seeing that the other party had no intention of stopping, she continued, "Besides, I did not write this manuscript, and I didn't know it beforehand."

Zhou actually couldn't help laughing out loud, "Miss Liang is just kidding, it clearly belongs to your name, why do you become ignorant when I ask now. Editor-in-Chief Lu, this is giving me Confused."

Liang He bowed her head silently after hearing this, she was not sure if Lu Chengwen knew.Because he had several business trips last month, he was in Japan when the magazine was released.The professional level of the editors in the agency is relatively high, and he is very relieved to delegate authority.

In a daze, I heard a low-pitched male voice beside me, a little hoarse: "Mr. Zhou, I will deal with this issue by myself. We still want to talk about the interview this time. In my personal opinion, The two don’t seem to have any direct relationship, your company’s main business is overseas, and our magazine doesn’t seem to pose any threat to you.”

Zhou Jing knocked on the smooth table while listening, and since Liang He touched him, he knew that this was what he was thinking.After a while, I heard him say: "As your title said, this is not the first time Xuyang has encountered this kind of problem. In the past, even if there were media reports, I would not go into it. It has been so long that we have too many Well, if I pursue them one by one, I won't be exhausted. It's just that the situation is different now."

The situation is different.Liang He secretly chewed on what he said. She remembered Zhou Jing mentioned in the interview that Risun Technology is preparing to be listed on NASDAQ in the United States at this time. spread.

Lu Chengwen asked: "President Zhou, what do you mean?"

"I hope your company can show some sincerity. In fact, this issue is a matter of a page, or stop the interview. You also know that the company has just been listed and needs me to sit in charge."

Liang He couldn't help being a little surprised when he heard this: "Mr. Zhou..."

With an arm around her, she looked at Lu Chengwen, whose expression was still as calm as water, inexplicably, and only heard him say lightly: "I understand, excuse me."

Zhou Jing smiled gracefully: "I won't give it away."

City C is surprisingly cold today. Liang He walked beside Lu Chengwen, and he felt the chill thoroughly. He strode and walked very fast, but she had to trot to follow him in high heels, and she was about to follow him. With a snap, the heel snapped off.

Liang He held her forehead helplessly. It was definitely not good for her to go out today, and even the heels of her shoes were against her.He took off his shoes in frustration, and as soon as he looked up, he saw Lu Chengwen standing in front of him with a blank expression, "Uh, my heel, it..."

Liang He tried to explain, but Lu Chengwen didn't seem to want to hear it at all, "shoe size"

Liang He was taken aback for a moment, then answered blankly, "37."

Lu Chengwen turned around suddenly, walked straight to the shopping center not far away, and took a pair of shoes out after a while, and she was still in a daze when they handed them to her, Lu Chengwen looked at her with raised eyebrows, and asked: " What, do you need me to dress you?"

Liang He reacted quickly and quickly took the shoebox.She was in a hurry to pick it up, with suspicious redness around her ears, Lu Chengwen saw her like this, and said, "My car is over there, come over after changing it."

"Okay." She answered with a muffled head, and she was ashamed to take out her shoes and put them on after he left.A pair of elegant leopard print shoes, and still - flat.

Does she wear these shoes?Seeing that Lu Chengwen reversed the car not far away, Liang He lowered his head and struggled for a while, but resigned himself to putting it on.

Although Lu Chengwen seemed to be very calm about this matter, Liang He felt that he should explain to himself first: "Editor-in-Chief, that manuscript was indeed not written by me."

"You have always been in charge of Xuyang's interviews and manuscripts."

"I know." It was because of this that it was difficult to handle, "It's just that I was too busy at the time, so I handed over part of the tasks to Li Jia, so—"

"You doubt her?"

Liang He was taken aback by his rhetorical question, and suddenly remembered Li Jia's background, she changed her words nonchalantly, "I, I don't doubt it, I just think that we should ask her about this matter together."

"Since she is involved, it is natural to ask. However, since we have published it, it is impossible to take it back. The most important question right now is the interview, do you understand?"

"clear."

"Zhou Jing, the outside world has different opinions, and they all think he is a magical figure. In fact, he also has shortcomings, self-willed, dictatorial. But as far as I know, he used to be a soldier in the Guangxi Frontier Defense Regiment."

Guangxi, Guangxi Frontier Defense Regiment?Why does it sound so familiar.

And the second half of Lu Chengwen's sentence just answered her question: "Speaking of which, he is still General Gu Changzhi's old subordinate."

Gu, Gu Changzhi?Her father-in-law?

Liang He was stunned and quickly remembered.When interviewing Ye Lao, I learned that Gu Changzhi had been in the Guangxi side defense regiment when he was young.

"Old General Gu, you must be no stranger to him." Lu Chengwen said softly.

Of course he was no stranger, Liang He bowed his head and remained silent.But, how could Lu Chengwen know so clearly?Liang He said in a hoarse voice, "What do you mean?"

"The face of the old chief is actually bought by Zhou, not to mention that they have been on the battlefield together."

The car turned a corner lightly and steadily, and the magazine office was right in front of us.Liang He stared at the eye-catching PIONEER signboard of the magazine building without saying a word.Lu Chengwen seemed to know everything about her background, Zhou Jing's background, and even Gu Changzhi's background.She suddenly had a feeling that he went to Xuyang today not to solve the problem, but to wait for her, the fish, to take the bait.

"I understand." Liang He lowered his eyelids and whispered.

The car soon parked steadily in the parking lot of the magazine office. Liang He got out of the car ahead of time. When he saw the shoes on his feet, he seemed to think of something. He turned around and asked Lu Cheng through the half-lowered car window. Wen.

"Editor, how much are these shoes?"

He was slightly taken aback when he heard this, as if he was a little puzzled by the question, "Why are you asking this?"

Liang He smiled slightly, "It's nothing, I just don't feel comfortable accepting shoes for no reason, so I want to return the money to you."

Lu Chengwen didn't change his face, a pair of black eyes caught her face, and said in a low voice: "No need, it's a trivial matter."

After hearing this, Liang He didn't continue to ask, but just said, "That's it, I will deduct it from my salary." After speaking, he smiled, turned and left
Looking at her back, Lu Chengwen couldn't help squinting his eyes.

Liang He was somewhat disgusted with Lu Chengwen's inexplicable knowledge of her, but after calming down and thinking about Lu Chengwen's proposal, he felt that it was still very feasible.So even though he felt a little awkward, Liang He still went to Guyuan when he got off work at night.There was no one in Gu Garden at night, and the snow in the garden hadn't cleared yet, so it could easily make people feel a chill.

"Dad isn't home?"

Li Wan took a sip of tea and frowned, "I went straight to Luoyang after returning from City B, and I'm busy."

What a coincidence, Liang and the lowered eyelids did not speak.

"You came back late yesterday, so I didn't have time to ask, how is Huaining? Is the injury serious?"

"It's not serious. It's just an arm injury. The doctor said it will be fine in a while."

Li Wan disagreed: "As the old saying goes, it takes a hundred days to hurt your muscles and bones. This kind of injury is cheap to raise in the army. It can't be compared to that at home."

She understood what Li Wan meant, and wanted her to persuade Gu Huaining to come back.It's just that this matter cannot be solved by her persuasion, let alone that she has no way to speak.

Liang He didn't stay in Gu Garden at night, and Liang He returned to the new house early before it was dark. The air in the house that had been left alone for a few days was a bit choking, so Liang He hurriedly opened the curtains and began to tidy up.The phone rang suddenly, and Liang He answered the phone while coughing.

"came back?"

It was Gu Huaining. Liang He stood there holding the phone in a daze for a moment, his heart suddenly warmed up, and even his voice softened, "Yeah."

"Is there any problem at work?"

"No." Subconsciously did not tell him.

The other end didn't speak for a long time, Liang He realized something was wrong, and asked softly, "What's wrong?"

A low sigh came: "I seem to know yourself better than you."

"How is that possible?" She immediately retorted, "We have not been together for more than a month."

Is it so short?Gu Huaining on the other side frowned slightly, and then smiled lightly, "When your voice is low and depressed, that's when you are in trouble."

Being punctured, Liang He was a little frustrated, but Gu Huaining didn't speak, waiting for her to explain herself.

Liang He scratched the back of his head, "Actually, it's nothing serious. It's just that there was something wrong with the interview I gave, and it's being resolved now."

Talking in a concise and concise manner, Gu Huaining probably didn't want to talk about it. Gu Huaining understood it, so he wisely let go of this topic, and just said in a low voice: "If you are bored, find something to do. If you really can't, learn to cook and clean up by the way. clean the house."

Liang He laughed a little. This person is thousands of miles away and still doesn't forget to take charge of her personal internal affairs, so he pouted, "Why do you care about this?"

This slightly coquettish rhetorical question made someone stunned for a moment, and soon coughed again to regain his composure, "This is an order, and I will execute it immediately if there is no objection." After speaking, she hung up the phone before she had any objections.

Liang He gritted his teeth at the phone, but all his disappointment was gone.Looking at the empty home, Liang He couldn't help but sigh.Less than two days after he came back, she missed him.

What happened in the next few days made Liang He somewhat unexpected.Zhou actually flew to the United States very quickly, the interview was forced to be interrupted, and the interview that was serialized in the magazine had to be stopped.Liang He scratched his head and scratched his head anxiously, but looking at Lu Chengwen, he still looked calm, as if these problems were not a problem.Li Jia was still taken by her, and she walked back and forth in front of her many times without mentioning the interview script. Liang He wanted to ask her several times, but he couldn't ask her for no reason.After all, it was the task assigned to her, and it was her responsibility in the end.

He Anmin brought back the salary slip for Liang He. Liang He opened his eyes and looked a little surprised. He didn't miss a cent of what should have been given. The nonsense she said that the money for the pair of shoes was deducted from the salary was Lu Chengwen. She didn't take it seriously at all, it gave her the feeling of being punched in the cotton, she was so heartbroken, the pair of flat shoes and the brooch were buried in the bottom of the closet together.

Finally, there was good news before get off work. Feng Zhan called and said that the old man's special car would return to City C in the afternoon, and he would arrive home before dinner.Liang He was overjoyed. He had been hung up on this manuscript for the past few days, and now the savior finally came, and his fingers tapped on the computer keyboard quickly. run.

The colleague next to her couldn't help laughing at her anxious look, "Xiao Liang, what's wrong?"

Liang He didn't bother to answer, smiled and left quickly.

The colleague was aroused by her mysterious smile, and asked Li Jia who was sorting out the manuscript, "Xiao Li, what happened to reporter Liang today?"

Li Jia raised his head slightly, and the pale yellow figure had disappeared around the corner of the corridor.He narrowed his eyes and took a look, then looked at his colleague with a smile on his face, "I don't know either."

When Liang He arrived at Guyuan, Aunt Zhang had already cooked a large table full of delicacies, so colorful that she couldn't help but think of the suggestion made by Comrade Leader yesterday to let her learn how to cook from Aunt Zhang. Really think about it.

Seeing her standing blankly in the entrance, Li Wan hurriedly waved to her. Seeing that she was dressed thinly, she inevitably frowned and said a few words. Liang He was used to listening, and obediently sat down on the sofa opposite them.

"Why didn't you call before you came?"

Liang He smiled and replied, "I talked to Feng Zhan on the phone. I heard that Dad is back, so I rushed over to have a look."

These soft voices were very useful to Mr. Gu's ears. He took off his glasses and said calmly, "I will come to accompany your mother often when I have nothing to do. Are you busy with work recently?"

Before she opened her mouth, Mr. Gu clicked on it. Liang He was a little surprised: "It's not very busy..." He hesitated for a while, and then said, "I just encountered some small problems."

"Oh, a small problem?" Old Master Gu frowned habitually.

"Actually, I would like to ask you to do me a favor." Liang He said it directly. This was the first time she had troubled the elders of the Gu family, and she felt a little bit upset.

After hearing this, Mr. Gu just raised his eyebrows and closed his eyes slightly: "Let's talk."

Liang He briefly explained Zhou Jing's affairs to Mr. Gu: "Zhou Jing's interview is more important to me, and the agency also plans to sort out these manuscripts and hand them over to the publishing house for publication. Work plans have been delayed."

Before the old man heard this, Li Wan asked slowly, "Isn't this Zhou Jing a soldier in the frontier regiment with you back then?"

The old man nodded after listening, "Well, he is a well-known technical backbone in the whole army. He seemed not very happy to put him in the border defense regiment at that time. I didn't expect that he has changed jobs now, but he has really made a career."

When one's worth goes up, one's temper also goes up.It wasn't the first time Liang He dealt with such a difficult person, but it was the first time with such an arrogant person.She whispered in her heart.

Li Wan smiled and patted her hand: "Don't worry, the old man can talk to him, just tell him about it and it's over."

Liang He smiled happily, scratched his hair and said, "Well, then please trouble Dad, otherwise I might lose my job."

Gu Changzhi nodded and continued to read the newspaper.Li Wan, on the other hand, uttered an inexplicable sound after hearing this. Before Liang He could get to the bottom of it, she heard Mrs. Zhang calling for dinner. Thinking of the big table of delicacies, the delicious food in her memory made her twitch her index finger and trot towards the restaurant. kitchen.

Mr. Gu didn't get up, looked at Liang He's back, and smiled slightly: "Don't look at Huaining's sullen temper, but the daughter-in-law I'm looking for is lively. I think the two can get along well."

Li Wan frowned: "It's easy to get along, but in my opinion, don't look at this girl's obedient appearance, she is also a person who has her own opinions when encountering things. When a woman gets married, she should stay at home and support her husband and children. It's all about men, a person like her who travels around all day and doesn't know how to take care of her own body will become a mother, ouch, I can't even think about it."

Mr. Gu was a little moved when he heard this, but he still said, "Young man, a little ambition is not a bad thing."

"It's good to be ambitious, but if you're too wild, it's not easy to discipline. Huaining also protects her, and proposed to live outside before marriage. Let me tell you, he doesn't stay at home all day, and it's most suitable for He He to live at home. .It's all right now, I haven't disciplined this daughter-in-law until now."

"Then how do you want to discipline?"

Li Wan glanced at him: "You don't need to worry about it, just leave it to me when the time comes."

The old man frowned slightly, and at the end he didn't speak, which was regarded as acquiescing.

The problem that had troubled him for a long time was finally temporarily resolved. Liang He had a great appetite when he had dinner, and when he got home, he called Gu Huaining and reported the good thing to the head of the group.Gu Huaining listened carefully, until the voice on the other end gradually became weaker, and then said: "You are tired, go to sleep."

The other end gave a muffled hum, and when he was about to hang up the phone, he suddenly stopped him: "Gu Huaining."

"Ok?"

"It's okay, you come back early."

As he said that, he hung up the phone with a click, and this time it was Gu Huaining who stared at the phone in a daze for a long time, until Zhou Ping, the director of the Political Department, came and knocked on the door of his dormitory.

"Old Gu, where are you calling?" Zhou Ping walked in with a smile.

Gu Huaining quickly returned to his senses, and hung up the phone: "It's okay, what's the matter?"

Zhou Ping said: "It's nothing serious. Someone from the division came today and sent over the transfer document of Political Commissar Zhang." He said and handed over a brown paper bag.

Commissar Zhang of the regiment has been ill for a year.The legs and feet are not very convenient, and even if he recovers, he is unlikely to return to work in the regiment.The higher-ups considered transferring him to the General Logistics Department to take up an idle position, and transferred another person from the bottom again.

Gu Huaining took it and flipped through it hastily: "Is this how you send people away?" It happened that the veteran was retiring during this period, even if his nerves were numb when sending people away, he couldn't help but sigh a few words.

Zhou Ping smiled: "I can't help it. You two have been working together for a long time, right? Political Commissar Zhang has been recuperating in his hometown of C City. Should the transfer order be sent directly to him or something?" Considering Zhou Ping was a little hesitant to take into account the emotions of Political Commissar Zhang.

Gu Huaining pondered for a while: "Let me here first."

"Okay." After finishing his work, Zhou Ping put down his burden and went back to the house to rest.

Comrade head, on the other hand, stared at the transfer order, raised his eyebrows slightly, and smiled slightly in his eyes.

Liang He went to the magazine very early the next day, but unexpectedly Li Jia arrived earlier than her.

The heating in the magazine office was adequate, and Li Jia was only wearing a royal blue thin shirt. When Liang He entered the door, she was sorting out documents. When she saw her, she smiled slightly, and leaned over to work again.

"Morning." Liang He nodded to her.

Li Jia hummed, her big beautiful eyes flickered, and she raised her head to look at Liang He: "Reporter Liang, what's going on with Xuyang, I heard from my colleagues that it seems a bit troublesome."

Liang He paused unconsciously for cleaning up the table: "There's nothing wrong, it will be resolved soon."

Li Jia smiled with relief: "I was also quite worried these few days. At that time, I handed it in for you without looking carefully. I didn't expect to cause such a big thing."

Liang He frowned when he heard this, and looked at Li Jia: "You also think that I wrote the manuscript?"

Li Jia saw that her face was not right, and her tone became cautious: "Well, I—"

Liang He laughed: "My memory is not so bad! Although I was busy those few days, if I don't remember the words I wrote, what else can I do?"

Li Jia bit her lip: "What does Reporter Liang mean by that?"

Liang He smiled: "I think what I said is clear enough. I know exactly who else is doing the tasks assigned to me by Director Li besides me."

The face of the girl opposite changed slightly when she heard this: "Does that mean I framed you?"

Framed?Liang He blinked, "Did I say that?" After thinking for a while, she tilted her head and smiled, "Actually, you just need to tell me when things come up, there's no need to rush to clarify."

Colleagues came one after another, and Liang He was forced to go on stage early in the morning to fight a heart-to-heart battle. At this moment, she only felt tired in her heart. She pressed the computer switch, pulled out the chair and sat down.

On the opposite side, Li Jia was still in a daze.Liang He looked up, and saw that her mouth was tightly pursed, her face was a little ugly, and she swallowed the words that she wanted to ease the atmosphere.She didn't want to argue with her in front of all her colleagues.

Because Mr. Gu's words were at the bottom of his mind, Liang He tentatively mentioned the matter of Risun Technology when delivering things to Lu Chengwen.Lu Chengwen has never mentioned this matter since he came back from Risun Technology. I don't know if he doesn't care or is too confident in her.

When she said that the old man would show up, she just smiled inscrutablely, which made Liang He a little puzzled.

"Then hurry up, the page of the next issue has been vacated for you."

When Lu Chengwen finally let go, Liang He nodded with a smile, took the documents he had approved and left with the door.

Lu Chengwen stared at the direction she was leaving, pressed the inside line for a long time, and said in a deep voice without the slightest warmth, "Let Li Jia in."

Liang He has been waiting for news from the old man for the past few days. Of course, Zhou Jing couldn't be contacted. She called his private secretary several times, and the answer from the other party was without exception: "He is abroad. Temporarily unavailable."

In this way, Liang He couldn't help wondering, if this was the case, how would the old man contact him?
But despite this, Liang He still received a call from Feng Zhan when he got off work at noon, saying that the old man had already contacted Zhou Jing.Liang He couldn't help being a little surprised when he heard it at first, but before hanging up the phone, Feng Zhan added another sentence, asking her to go home at noon.

Liang He felt a little surprised: "Is there something wrong?"

"I don't know too well. Anyway, sister-in-law, it's right for you to come back." Feng Zhan said vaguely, and Liang He suddenly had a bad feeling. Could it be that the old man messed up the matter?With her heart hanging, she left half an hour early and took a taxi back to Gu Yuan.

Unexpectedly, the old man was not at home, leaving only Li Wan arranging flower arrangements in the living room.Liang He called Mom and sat down beside her.

"coming?"

"En." Liang He replied softly, "Do you have anything to do with me?"

Li Wan glanced at her, "It's nothing serious, I just want to talk to you."

It's noon, talk about it?Liang He blinked and remained silent.

"Your dad just called and said that Zhou Jing came back yesterday. You haven't been in touch with him, have you?"

"Yeah." She lowered her head and smiled bitterly.

"I see you are working very hard, too."

Li Wan said suddenly, Liang He was a little flattered by the concerned tone, and quickly shook his head, "It's okay."

Li Wan shook his head, "I think you've been worrying a lot about this for a while. So I discussed it with your father. You might as well quit your job at the magazine and let whoever wants to do this interview. You I don’t suffer from this crime anymore.”

"Resign from work?" Liang He was a little surprised, and immediately stood up, "How can this be done?"

Li Wan glanced at her and pulled her to sit down again: "I'm just telling you, why are you in a hurry? Besides, why can't this work? It's such a big magazine without you and half the sky can collapse. Let's Chief of Staff Li’s family at the end of this street has two grandsons, and you and Huaining haven’t moved at all and are still thinking about work all day, so that’s all right?”

After all, Liang He couldn't escape the problem of the child. Liang He felt a little helpless: "That's different. Many of my colleagues still go to work even if they are pregnant."

"That's even worse!" Li Wan said categorically, "Hurry up and quit your job, and I'll ask the old man to find a way to transfer Huaining back. After you get married, you should have a family. You said that the two of you are living like People? What's the point of getting married?"

What's the point?That really caught her off guard.The two places are separated, he is his soldier, she lives her little life, they have been together occasionally for a few days after a few months, and they have to separate immediately as soon as they feel it, she can't tell the meaning of such a marriage.This kind of reality made Li Wan clearly put it on the table, and no matter what, she couldn't control the slight sourness in her heart.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Li Wan thought she was moved, so she lowered her voice a little: "Besides, if you really like working, you can continue after you give birth to a child. Don't be in a hurry. Take care of your body first during this period. Well, the most important thing for a woman is always the family, not your job."

Liang He was silent for a while, and after calming down a little, he spoke with a hoarse voice: "Mom, I will think about your suggestion, but I think my answer will probably not change."

Li Wan was obviously choked for a moment, unable to speak for a while, and finally waved his hand angrily: "In my opinion, you don't want me to control you!"

Liang He remained silent, standing there in bewilderment.It was Feng Zhan who gestured to her from outside the door, not to let her say anything while Li Wan was angry to make her angry.So Liang He had no choice but to get up: "Then, Mom, I'll go first."

Li Wan snorted, and Liang He walked out in a little embarrassment.

Feng Zhan also looked at her in a dilemma, and finally said, "Sister-in-law, shall I take you there?"

Liang He shook his head, forced a smile and refused.It was already past working hours when he came out of Gu Yuan, Liang He bought a cup of hot milk tea and wandered alone on the street.Before she came, she took a short vacation and didn't have to go to the club in the afternoon, so she wasn't in a hurry.

The weather in City C today is good, and the warm sunshine made her feel a little sleepy.Originally, it was an afternoon that could be enjoyed, but Liang He couldn't laugh when he recalled the exhausting conversation he had just experienced in Gu Yuan.

This time, she was completely angry with Li Wan.Moreover, Liang He vaguely understood what she meant. Originally, what happened to Zhou Jing was not something that the old man promised to do for her. In addition, Li Wan now used this to coerce her to quit her job. The old man may be at noon today The intentional absence also proved that he also had an acquiescing attitude.

Liang He didn't want to think of things so badly, but she could understand Li Wan's aggressive manner and the meaning behind the words, even if she was not stupid.It seems that you still have to rely on yourself!

Liang He drank the milk tea in his hand and decided to take a taxi to Risun Technology.At least she knew from Li Wan that Zhou Jing had returned to China, so she had better try her luck, and now the rest was a lonely one.

Without an appointment, he is still not allowed to enter. The secretary is expressionless: "The president is in a meeting, and there is no time at present."

Having touched the nail so many times, Liang He also learned how to behave, and instead of turning around and leaving, he sat down on the bench outside the president's office and waited!After waiting for a long time, seeing that it was getting dark outside, I was so hungry that my chest stuck to my back.Liang He had no choice but to step forward boldly, and asked the secretary again when Zhou Jing's meeting would end.

The secretary replied to her without looking up, "Just wait another hour."

Liang He gritted his teeth after hearing this, he had heard this answer no less than three times this afternoon!

Seeing that another hour had passed, the secretary saw that she was still sitting there, and suggested to call her to ask her. Liang He was immediately grateful again.

The secretary dialed a few numbers, but it took a long time to pick up, and the tone of the person on the other end was not very good.Liang He bowed his head awkwardly, feeling very sorry for the innocent secretary, but the secretary didn't change his face, and quickly hung up the phone.

"How about it?"

The secretary looked at her, paused, and then said formally: "Mr. Zhou has finished the meeting, and just took the special elevator downstairs to leave."

Seeing that Liang He couldn't react, the secretary suggested impatiently: "If you chase after him now, maybe—" Before he could finish speaking, the figure in front of him had already run away.The secretary twitched the corner of his mouth, and swallowed the words "I saw the rear of his car from a distance".

As the secretary expected, Liang He did not catch up.

Zhou Jing's car had already driven a long way when she ran out of the gate of Risun Technology.She stood here for a while, the warmth of the day had disappeared, a sudden cold wind made her shiver, Liang He couldn't help tightening her clothes.

I don't know what words to use to describe my mood at the moment.Lost, resentful, or still tired?She couldn't explain clearly, she just felt that all her strength was overdrawn.

Liang He was stunned for a while, tried hard to stabilize his mind, and went to his bag to take out his mobile phone to check the time.

There were several missed calls, Liang He went through them one by one and found that they were all from Lu Chengwen.She watched and gritted her teeth involuntarily.

Suddenly a bright light pierced her eyes, Liang He subconsciously covered her eyes and looked towards the light source.A black Bentley was parked opposite, the door opened, and Lu Chengwen stepped down from it.

He looked at her who was shivering from the cold in front of him, and said in a low voice, "Get in the car."

Liang He didn't want to see him very much at this moment, and his upper and lower teeth chattered in a stalemate with him.

The line of Lu Chengwen's jaw was tense: "The agency decided to follow up with someone else, and the overseas edition of the magazine will give him a few more issues to promote."

"Then, so this thing is over?" She asked bluntly.

Lu Chengwen didn't speak.

Liang He couldn't help wondering: "Editor Lu, since it's so simple, why do you have to make me bother Mr. Gu?"

Lu Chengwen was not angry, and said lightly, "Didn't Mr. Gu also help you?" He looked at her flushed face, and said, "Liang He, I've always been a little curious, what's so good about the Gu family, that you must You can't get married."

"What does this have to do with you?!" She asked back almost angrily.

Seeing her appearance, Lu Chengwen couldn't help feeling a little disturbed, but his face was still calm: "Liang He, do you really not remember me?" After a pause, he reminded a little, "In Bristol you."

Liang He was startled when he heard the words, and quickly laughed back angrily: "Why don't you remember?! Bristol's top student! He won a Pulitzer Prize and shocked the whole school! Who doesn't know?"

When Lu Chengwen first heard the first half of her sentence, he still looked forward to it, but at the end his expression returned to his indifference: "Get in the car." He said without the slightest emotion.

"Don't bother you, I will go home by myself." Anyway, he has already annoyed him, so it's enough to offend him all at once!Liang He didn't want to hide his emotions at this moment, so he turned his head and hailed a taxi to leave quickly.

Lu Chengwen was left alone on the spot, his face dark and unpredictable.In the end, there was even a self-deprecating smile on the corner of her mouth, as if she was laughing at her own absurdity - it seemed that she had really forgotten him.
