The next day, the sun rose.
When Lin Wan Bai went into the courtyard to gather firewood, he heard a low growl coming from the entrance.
She quickly walked out of the room and opened the door. Sure enough, she saw Huo Rong running in circles and shouting, "Oh my god, there's a thief here! "Come and catch the thief!"
"Aunt, what's wrong?"
Lin Wan Bai walked up and nervously asked.
Huo Rong pointed to the empty seat behind him and anxiously told her, "My car is gone! Bai Cai, there are car thieves in your village! "
Lin Wan Bai looked over and finally realized something wasn't right. The black BMW that was parked last night seemed to have disappeared.
"Uh, Aunt, don't be hasty!" Lin Wan Bai was also confused, he did not know what to do, "All the villagers are simple, they would not do such a thing, wait a moment, I will ask the neighbors to help us find them …"
"There's no need to look, Chang Yuan will be leaving!"
A male voice interrupted her words. It was Qin Si Nian who was yawning right after walking out from next door.
Huo Rong did not expect this either, and was shocked, "Chang Yuan? He drove off? "
"Yeah, he said he had some work to do, so he left early in the morning." Qin Si Nian nodded and stretched while facing the sun, "It seems like I'm still sleeping soundly even before dawn."
"Then what should we do?"
"He said that he would send Elder Chen to bring us back to the city this afternoon!"
Lin Wan Bai listened at the side and lightly clenched his fingers. Huo Chang Yuan left?
What business do you have here? Didn't he call the Jiangshu when he came to the countryside? Huo Rong muttered to herself, then looked at her with raised eyebrows, "Little White, what did you tell him last night to provoke him?"
"I …" Lin Wan Bai's breath stopped.
Seeing that, Huo Rong became even more clear, and shook her head: "This mental fortitude is too terrible!"
Lin Wan Bai thought back to last night. His eyes looked very gloomy, and in the end, he said the same thing as before: I'll watch you enter, and when he closed the door, his gaze seemed to be focused on his back.
In the afternoon, the chauffeur, Elder Chen, parked his black Bentley at the entrance of the courtyard.
Huo Rong let her follow along and knew that she was reluctant to part with her grandmother.
After going onto the highway, the road condition calmed down and Lin Wan Bai gradually fell asleep. She had a dream that she was trapped inside a precipitous cliff by herself, and below her was the bottomless abyss. She was unable to move, and was very afraid.
Huo Chang Yuan appeared at this moment, and stood a few meters away.
There was a cigarette in her hand, but she did not approach him. She began to call out his name, and he only stared at her from afar.
Suddenly, a tall figure walked over. His face had dimples when he smiled. It was his fiancée. She affectionately held his arm and said something before the two of them turned around and left.
The rock beneath her feet loosened and she fell straight down.
Huo Chang Yuan, don't...
Lin Wan Bai suddenly opened her eyes, the inside of the carriage was clear, and she slowly calmed down.
Huo Rong who was seated at the side laughed, "You woke up from your sleep?"
"Ugh …" Lin Wan Bai was a little embarrassed.
Seeing that Qin Si Nian, who was sitting in the front seat, was also sleeping soundly, hugging his shoulders, she felt less awkward.
Huo Rong still looked at her, and slowly said, "Little White, just now, in your dreams, you kept on calling Chang Yuan by his name."
"..." I didn't keep shouting! " Lin Wan Bai explained in embarrassment.
"It seems like I've really dreamt it?" Huo Rong was amused by her silly look.
Lin Wan Bai bit her lips in frustration, not even daring to speak anymore, afraid that she would say more wrongly.
"Only when you have thoughts will you have dreams." Seeing that her head was lowered, Huo Rong did not continue to tease her, but looked out of the window and spoke meaningfully, "There are many times when we think that we have made a choice, but are unable to control our hearts."
Monday, busy weekday.
After finishing his lunch break, Lin Wan Bai was just about to sit down when the supervisor came out from the office and rushed towards her, "Xiao Lin, get familiar with these documents first, you'll need to go for a meeting later."
"This is …" Lin Wan Bai was startled when he saw the document.
"Previously, Hutong did not say that there was a related company's funds for cooperation. This, is to say, we have already reached a consensus for a preliminary cooperation!" The supervisor explained.
Lin Wan Bai pursed his lips, he also remembered that it was true, but he did not expect there to be a follow-up.
An hour later, the supervisor walked up to her again and knocked on her desk.
"Let's go, to Hauptmann's!"
"Oh."
As he stepped into the Hauptmann's once again, Lin Wan Bai's mood did not change much, but he couldn't help but clench his hands tightly throughout the entire process.
She found it hard to understand.
He was looking forward to see Huo Chang Yuan, but he didn't want to see Huo Chang Yuan at all.
The elevator went directly to the top floor and they were led to the conference room by the secretary.
The person receiving and presiding over the meeting was a senior executive of the department, and throughout the entire process, he did not see the figure of Huo Chang Yuan, when the meeting ended, Lin Wan Bai walked past the CEO's office to take a look, and realised that there was no one inside.
Furthermore, she seemed to have realized that this time, she did not see any trace of Jiang Fang in the Hauptmann's.
Could he be on a business trip again?
Not long after Lin Wan Bai and the supervisor entered the elevator, a small secretary walked to the door of the office and attempted to close it with the door handle. However, just as she was about to do so, she was stopped by someone, "What are you doing!"
"Manager!" "I saw that Hutong didn't come to work, and the door to the CEO's office was always open, so …"
"This is what the Hutong ordered!" The manager said snappily, "Notify the others that you are not allowed to close the door!"
"Yes sir!" The little secretary immediately responded.
On the second day, at the same time, Lin Wan Bai and the supervisor came over for a meeting. Just like yesterday, the people who were received by the branch executives were still the same.
Coming out of the building, Lin Wan Bai's phone rang.
It was Huo Rong who called over. No one knew what it was about, but she picked it up hesitantly. "Hello …"
"Little White, what are you doing?" Huo Rong asked with a smile.
"I just had a meeting with the Leader, so I'm preparing to return to the company." Lin Wan Bai replied honestly.
"Oh, so it's like that!" Huo Rong said blandly.
After chatting for a bit, it seemed as if there was nothing important going on, so Lin Wan Bai could only take the initiative to ask, "Aunt, is there anything wrong with your phone call?"
"There really is one." Huo Rong seemed to be waiting for her to ask that question. She paused for a while before mysteriously asking, "Are you listening to about Chang Yuan?"
"..." I can choose not to listen? " Lin Wan Bai asked tentatively.
"Of course not!" Huo Rong immediately said.
"…" Lin Wan Bai didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
She switched her phone to the other side, waiting for Huo Rong to finish speaking. Unexpectedly, she almost couldn't hold onto her phone when she heard a sentence from the line, "Chang Yuan was in a car accident."
