I was a little taken aback. "It's settled?"
"Yes." Lou Shaotang's tone was firm.
I was surprised and pleased, but more curious.
"Tian Yue" successfully passed through the calamity, and not a single bit of my vitality was harmed. My heart, which had been in suspense for a few days, finally relaxed as I held Lou Shaotang's face in my hands.
He had lost a lot of weight, and his face was haggard from staying up late. His eyes were bloodshot from lack of sleep.
"Hubby, you've worked hard." My heart ached.
Lou Shaotang laughed without care and pulled my hand away. He pulled me into his embrace and said with a tone full of pity: "I don't work hard, but you.
I put my arm around his waist and rested my head on his shoulder. We'll head back earlier. You were too tired these few days, so you didn't even have a good rest. Go back and sleep for a while.
He let go of her arms with a gentle smile on his tired face, "I can't return. There will be a few interviews with me in the media, and there will be a press conference at 5 o'clock. There's a lot of things to do. You can go back first."
I frowned, and though I felt sorry for him and didn't want him to work any longer, I understood that he had to.
As a large enterprise with a good image, although the responsibility for such an extraordinary accident doesn't lie with oneself, the form of calming people should be done. Besides, the image of "Heaven's Lover" had been seriously damaged this time, and it was necessary to let the media help restore it.
"I'll wait for you."
"No need, after we're done, I still need to invite the people up there for a meal. It will be very late." You don't have to wait for me. He put my loose hair behind my ear and suddenly thought of something. "Oh yeah, I saw that your appetite these few days wasn't good. At noon, I went to the supermarket to buy some appetizers for you."
With that, he stood up and walked to his desk. He took out a plastic bag that was filled to the brim, walked back to the sofa, and placed the bag on the coffee table.
I opened it and immediately felt sour in my mouth. There was yogurt, sour cake, raisins, plums, and so on. It was all sour and sweet and appetizing, as he had said.
I felt warm for his kindness, but it was soon overshadowed by a strong sense of guilt. How I wished he would ignore me and be indifferent to me so that my guilt would lessen.
However, this was impossible.
Lou Shaotang loves me to the point where he thinks that it isn't enough even if he gave me all of it.
"What would you like to eat? If you don't like it, I'll buy it. " Lou Shaotang took out a few packs of snacks from the bag and placed them in my hands.
My heart hurt to the point that I couldn't breathe. I tightly gripped my snacks, trying my best to pull out a smile. "It's pretty good. I like them all."
Listen to me say that I like it, Lou Shaotang smiled happily.
I put the snacks back in my bag and was about to leave when there was a knock at the office door.
Lou Shaotang said and entered. The door opened and a young and beautiful woman stood at the entrance.
"Director Lou, the people from 'Observing the News' have arrived." She smiled and said in a respectful tone.
"Got it." Lou Shaotang's attitude towards the bystanders had returned to being cold and aloof, "Bring them to the meeting room first, I'll wait for them."
"Alright."
The woman obeyed and went out.
After the door closes, I asked Lou Shaotang, "Who is this? "Never seen him before."
"New secretary, Cindy."
"Secretary?" I was surprised.
Ever since Lou Shaotang kicked the secretary out, he had not been able to get another one. Firstly, he did not find the right one, and secondly, too many things had happened in this period of time, he did not have the energy to do so. Why did it suddenly appear? I didn't hear him mention it before. Moreover, he was young and beautiful, and looked like a lotus blooming in the water.
"When was this? Why didn't you tell me? " I smiled, but I felt a little sick inside, and it tasted good.
"What's there to talk about?" Lou Shaotang didn't think much of it, "She's Qin Lang's distant cousin, he just returned from studying in Canada, and coincidentally is looking for a job, so Qin Lang recommended it to me."
After hearing Qin Lang's introduction, I felt slightly more at ease.
"How long have you been here?" I asked again.
"Just arrived yesterday."
I was slightly surprised and immediately smiled. "Then, you've really picked up a treasure."
"What do you mean?" Lou Shaotang raised his eyebrows and was puzzled.
"She should be able to work pretty well. She's much better than you used to be. "The key is …" I stopped myself on purpose, staring at Lou Shaotang meaningfully.
"What else?" Lou Shaotang also looked at me, his gaze becoming more doubtful.
"Floating, bright." I said it word for word, and emphasized it.
Hearing that, Lou Shaotang immediately frowned: "Is it pretty?" "I don't think so." he said. " However, your ability is quite strong. " He changed his tone and became praising. He looked at me and curiously asked, "How did you notice?"
I laughed at him for asking such a stupid question. "Please, I'm also a boss!" "Most new employees are very shy because they are not used to it, but Cindy is very experienced and doesn't look like a new person. Furthermore, her attitude just now was more respectful than fearful. Unlike the previous secretary, she always acted like a little chick when she saw an eagle and was afraid of being scolded by you at any time. She would not have been able to do this without sufficient capital and self-confidence. "
Lou Shaotang rubbed his chin and nodded, feeling that my analysis is very logical.
"Wife, you're so awesome!" He laughed and put his arms around my shoulders. "No wonder 'Ya Yan' can develop so well!"
Even though I knew that he was putting on a tall hat to make me happy, I wasn't modest at all. My tone was even a little smug, "Of course, I have the Fiery Eyes of Truth!"
"En ~" Lou Shaotang agreed, his smile becoming a little perverted, his lips moving closer to my face, "Then do you want me to give you another Jingu Bang?"
His voice was affectionate. Before I could react, he grabbed my hand and pressed it in his direction.
The place immediately became hard.
I was stunned for 2 seconds. I raised my free hand and tapped him lightly on the chest. I gritted my teeth and said in a disapproving tone, "Lower stream!"
Lou Shaotang likes to see me blushing the most because of his teasing. At this moment, when he saw that my face was slightly red, he grinned and laughed lightly.
This was the first time in so many days that he had shown such a carefree and happy smile.
"Alright, I won't tease you anymore." He released my hand and kissed the back of my hand. "Go back and rest early."
"Yes." "Don't be late. Don't drink too much." He stood up and picked up the bag. Lou Shaotang immediately took it, "Don't carry it! It was too heavy. I'll get the driver to drive you. "
I chuckled. "There's no need to trouble yourself. They are all light stuff. And I'm not going back yet, I need to go shopping. "
Lou Shaotang thought for a while, and said with some disapproval: "It's better not to walk around, the doctor didn't want you to rest in bed, you are not yet past the dangerous point, so you shouldn't walk around too much." He then embraced me again and said smilingly, "If you want to go out for a stroll, once looking forward to has settled in your stomach, I'll accompany you everyday. You can go wherever you want to go."
His words made my heart ache again, and then sink heavily.
The matter of Heaven had been resolved, and now he would confess it to him.
It was finally time to cross this great ravine.
Looking at his smiling face, I suppressed the pain in my heart and forced a smile. "Alright."
The driver walked me back to the Garden. I told him to stop the car at the entrance and got off the car with the bag in his hand.
When I walked to the fountain in front of the door, I saw Qiao Chenfei walking out from the house. Isn't there going to be a press conference? "
He walked in front of me and put his hand in his pocket, mocking the ground pull for pulling his lips.
My heart skipped a beat and I looked at him steadily.
His expression was even more haggard than Lou Shaotang's, and even more dark. The red veins in his eyes were not less than Lou Shaotang's, but compared to Lou Shaotang's high-spirited appearance, his mental attitude was much worse, and he seemed to be very disappointed and lonely.
Previously, he heard from Lou Shaotang that due to the embarrassment of the family, the old man had ordered for the whole matter of Qiao Chenfei colluding with Di Jin to be kept a secret. But in order to punish him, Lou Shaotang had downgraded him to the Real Estate Department. Although it was a director position, that department was an idle department, so it was no different from an exile. To the complacent and ambitious Qiao Chenfei, this was undoubtedly a huge blow.
But, who could blame this?
People always pay for their mistakes.
"Actually, the property department is pretty good too." I didn't know what to say, so I tried to comfort him.
Qiao Chenfei said in a mocking tone, "It's good, it's good for my old age." Looking at the horizon, his gaze was filled with hopelessness and bewilderment.
I was very upset, but I still had a smile on my face. You're not like Lou Cheng, you can't stay idle. "Besides, your ability is so strong, I believe that under your leadership, the Ministry of Properties will have a new move."
My words of encouragement had no effect on him. His face was still grave.
Not wanting the atmosphere to linger any longer, I changed the topic. "You're going out?"
Qiao Chenfei's gaze returned to me as his lightless face darkened even more, adding to his worry.
"Yes, to see my mother. She's sick."
It was clear that he was talking about his foster mother. I was surprised, "Auntie is sick? What illness is it, is it serious? "
"My old ailment, high blood pressure. It's not too serious."
"I'll go with you. I haven't seen Auntie in a long time."
I hadn't seen his foster mother since that birthday party. She had brought some soup to my company, but that day when I went out to talk to clients about things that were no longer in the company, I didn't meet her, so I just called her to thank her.
Qiao Chenfei was silent for a few seconds, then nodded.
Just as he turned to go to the garage, he heard Yvonne's voice from behind him, "Hugo."
Qiao Chenfei and I both stopped at the same time and turned around at the same time.
Yvonne looked into my eyes, a flash of resentment in her eyes, but it was quickly extinguished, becoming cold and unreadable.
She walked slowly toward us, her chin slightly raised, her stomach not too big, her posture as proud as a peacock's.
"When did you come out?" When she came to stand in front of us, Qiao Chenfei asked. As usual, his face was cold and his voice was as cold as ice.
Yvonne's thin and pretty lips curled up in a self-deprecating manner. She then said with the same expressionless face, "This morning."
"Don't do that again, I don't need it."
When Qiao Chenfei's cold words fell, Yvonne's lips curved upwards again. However, this time, she wasn't laughing at herself; rather, there was some sadness as well.
"Don't worry, it won't happen again." She took out a Filing bag from her bag and handed it over to Qiao Chenfei.
Qiao Chenfei looked at him coldly, and did not pick him up, "What?"
"Look for yourself." Yvonne snorted. "The thing you dream of." Her tone was mocking.
Qiao Chenfei frowned, he hesitated for 2 seconds, then received the bag, quickly went around the rope and opened it to take out the thing inside.
I glanced at it, surprised.
