Chapter 407

It was night in Lin city.

Lin Yan had just walked out of the restaurant after her high school reunion when she noticed that it was raining outside.

It had been raining intermittently in Lin city for a week since she returned from England.

Was it because she had not been back for too long that the city no longer welcomed her?

Or was it because she really did not know how to read the weather forecast Did she choose to go out when it rained?

The rain was very heavy and the wind was not light. She had just drunk alcohol and when the wind blew, the smell of alcohol surged up. She only felt dizzy and her footsteps, which were in her high heels, also staggered a little.

Just as she was about to reach out to support the Marble Wall next to her, a pair of big hands firmly held her body. It was unknown whether it was intentional or not, but when those hands held her, they also accurately landed on her soft waist.

“Lin Yan, you drank too much. Let me send you back. ”

Lin Yan followed the voice above her head and looked up. It was a male classmate of hers from High School. What was his name? She already did not remember.

The male classmate saw that she frowned slightly, and then said softly, “Don’t you remember me? We just drank together. ”

Seeing her embarrassed and confused face, the male classmate said again, “it’s okay if you don’t remember me. Let me formally introduce myself. Lin Yan, my name is Gao Yuting. I sat behind you in high school. ”

“Oh, I’m sorry. My memory has never been very good. ”

“It’s okay. I’m not the most popular person in the school, so it’s normal that you don’t remember me. ”

Lin Yan searched through her slow mind carefully and finally had a shallow impression of him.

When she was a student, he seemed to be a quiet person. He sat at the back of the class and rarely talked to his classmates.

However, his studies seemed to be very good because Qiao man had always been the top student in the class. Occasionally, when she looked at her report card, she would also pay attention to the second place. After searching in her mind for a while just now, she remembered him.

She heard that he was later sent to the Royal Academy of Music in the United Kingdom for advanced studies with excellent results. He had been a full scholarship recipient for four years of university. Now, he was a rather famous violinist in the country. He had both fame and fortune in his career He was also an example of someone who had come from a humble family in Lin city.

She did not know if it was the dim lights that accentuated the ambiance, or if her body was a little cold, but the pair of big hands that landed on her waist seemed hot and scalding, a little invasive. In short, it made her very uncomfortable.

She quietly retreated from the men’s encirclement and smiled politely. “thank you, but there’s no need. I’ve already asked the chauffeur at home to come pick me up. He should be here soon. ”

In reality, no one would come to pick her up.

As early as the age of eighteen, she had bought a bachelor apartment and moved out on her own.

She did not hire a driver. She would either drive or take a taxi.

Of course, when she was drinking and driving, she would ask for a designated driver.

She only said that to reject his hospitality.

Gao yuting did not seem to understand her hint and continued to express in a graceful manner “It’s okay. You’re a girl who drank and it’s raining heavily. I saw you standing at the door waiting for a long time. Your driver shouldn’t be able to arrive in a short time. My house is over there and it’s on the way. Let me send you there. ”

Just as she was thinking whether she should reject him in a more direct way, a deep and familiar male voice came from behind her. Even though she had not heard this voice for five years, the moment she heard it.. Her body could not help but stiffen.

It was Fu Qingshan. It was actually Fu Qingshan?

She had thought that her unforgettable love had disappeared along with her five years in England. However, reality proved that she had underestimated the influence of that man on her. She had also underestimated the extent of her long-term love.

She did not turn around, and her face was a flash of embarrassment.

In the past few years, she had thought of many times to see him again, either with tears in her eyes, passing by, or indifferent, but she had never thought that she would be so caught off guard, so caught off guard that it felt unreal.

She had even thought that when she saw him again, her image must be radiant. Although it was not as arrogant as the Queen, it was definitely not the moment where she had drunk alcohol, her makeup was not exquisite enough, her dress was not neat enough, and she was even a little embarrassed.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer. She half turned around and tightened her shoulders, hiding herself in a dark corner to avoid him.

However, at this moment, the smell of alcohol had unknowingly surged up again. Her thin figure could not help but sway again and fall to the side.

Gao yuting was quick enough to help her, but Lin Yan’s petite body had already landed in the wide embrace of the man behind her. The familiar body temperature and the smell of peppermint aftershave rushed into her nostrils. She did not know why.. Her eyes instantly turned red.

Fu Qingshan came out from a social event and walked past her from behind. Almost instinctively, he held the woman who was upside down. When he saw the delicate and petite face under the light, he frowned slightly. “Are you alright? Why did you drink so much? ”

Lin Yan retreated from his embrace as if she was avoiding a plague. “I’m fine. I couldn’t stand properly just now. ”

In the past few years, she had been alone in England and often drank. Her alcohol tolerance was not particularly good, but it was not to the extent that she would collapse after a glass of wine.

What was going on tonight?

Gao yuting quickly walked over and wrapped his slender arms around her waist with a slightly possessive posture.

Lin Yan somewhat resisted his ambiguous physical contact and avoided him a little. “Mr. Gao, there’s really no need to trouble you. My chauffeur will be here very soon. ”

Gao yuting’s expression changed. “Lin Yan, I just want to send you home. I don’t have any other intentions. ”

Lin Yan frowned. Why did she always have the feeling that this man wanted to pursue her, but he also liked to use his words to kidnap her?

Whether she let him send her off or not, it was ultimately her fault.

After being classmates, Lin Yan was a little hesitant and didn’t know how to reject him.

People had to have some beautiful memories in their hearts. Those few years in high school were the few happy days in her life, and she didn’t want to ruin them.

After a few seconds, before she could think of a way to reject him, Fu Qingshan stretched out his long arms and hugged her in his arms. He took a step forward and blocked the petite woman by his side.

He was very tall, more than half a head taller than Gao yuting. He took a step forward and gave off an oppressive feeling that made people submit. “Sir, I will send her back. ”

Gao yuting glanced at Fu Qingshan, then at Lin Yan in his arms. “Lin Yan, do you know… him? ”

In Lin city, who didn’t know the leader of the Fu family of the Red Army, Fu Qingshan?

He and Ji Yunshen, Lin Nancheng, were the three major generals of Lin city. At such a young age, they had already ruled an area and commanded a million troops. Although the forces behind them were not as strong as the JI and Lin families, they were still considered one of the top aristocratic families in Lin city.

Lin Yan nodded. Before she could say anything, Fu Qingshan lowered his head and asked her, “do you want me to send her or him? ”

She thought that if she dared to ask Gao Yuting to send her off, he would definitely not interfere in her matters in the future.

Although it was unlikely that he would interfere in her matters if she asked him to send her off, she really did not like Gao yuting. He looked very gloomy and uncomfortable to get along with. She was even more afraid that he would have any evil thoughts on her.

Lin Yan leaned into his arms tightly and did not even look at Gao yuting. She said softly and sweetly, “send me off. ”

Fu Qingshan raised his eyebrows and his eyes were lazy. “Mister, you heard it too. She wants me to send her off. ”

As he said that, he waved his hand. Xiao Bai, who had been waiting in the rain for a long time, quickly ran over and handed him a big black umbrella.

Fu Qingshan took it and held the handle of the umbrella. Then, he held Lin Yan and walked into the storm outside the restaurant.

Gao yuting stood where he was and clenched his fists. After a long time, he drove away.

…

Fu Qingshan held Lin Yan and walked step by step to the parking lot in front of the restaurant. When she was sure that Gao yuting had left, she slowly turned around and quietly walked out of his arms “Well… Thank you for helping me out just now. Since we’re going in different directions, I won’t trouble you to send me off. I’ll just go to the roadside and hail a cab. ”

“It’s okay. Xiao Bai will drive. ”

The implication was that even if he sent her home, he wouldn’t be driving, so it wouldn’t be troublesome.

Lin Yan flew back from England specially to attend Lin Zhengchen, the head of the Lin family, her grandfather’s birthday party a few days later.

She never thought that she would meet him, let alone have any entanglements with him.

When she was young, she used to think that a drop of water could pierce through a stone. Even if it was ice, she could melt it.

But in reality, he had someone in his heart that he was deeply in love with. Other people could not walk in, but he himself could not walk out either.

Not to mention melting, he probably did not even feel touched.

“really… there’s no need. ”

Lin Yan learned her lesson this time and took the initiative to keep a distance from him.

As she said this, she was ready to rush into the storm, but the man reached out and grabbed her slender wrist. “In the past, you took the initiative to throw yourself into my arms so many times, but I didn’t see you have any sense of embarrassment. After not seeing you for a few years, you’ve really grown up. ”

Lin Yan frowned and glared at him.

“Hurry up and get in the car. I’ve been socializing all day and am very tired. I don’t have time to waste with you. ”

Lin Yan knew that she couldn’t change Fu Qingshan’s decision at all.

Moreover… There were so many people stopping cars by the roadside, so she might not be able to stop them. Anyway, she wouldn’t lose a piece of meat if she let him drive her …

She didn’t refuse anymore and got into his black spyker car.

She felt very dizzy. After getting into his car, Lin Yan leaned against the window and began to take a nap.

During this time, Fu Qingshan received four or five calls, and his low and deep voice lingered in her ears. She tried her best to ignore it, but no matter how she tried… … She could not get it out of her mind …

Twenty minutes later, the black spyker car stopped steadily in front of Lin Yan’s Bachelor apartment.

She opened her eyes and thanked him. Then, she took the black umbrella and got out of the car as if she was running away.

No matter how many times she looked at a beautiful person, she still wanted to have them.

Fu Qingshan was such a powerful existence to her.

She was afraid that if she continued to be alone with him, she would not be able to resist wanting to have them for herself.

…

The rain was a little heavy, but it still wet the corner of her skirt.

She ran into the apartment. First, she carefully folded the black umbrella that he had held before putting it in the umbrella rack at the door. Then, she changed into her slippers and walked in.

Her phone vibrated non-stop. It was probably her high school classmates chatting in the wechat group.

Tonight, at the high school reunion, her best friend, Qiao man, did not come. She felt somewhat regretful.

That incident, in the end, made it impossible for them to return to the past.

They were not enemies, but they would not be friends either.

When she recalled her dreams in the middle of the night, she had dreamed of her many times. However, when she woke up, they were still far away from each other, and there was no longer any interaction between them.

She only allowed herself to think for a while before taking a shower and going to bed.

This time around, other than attending her grandfather’s 80th birthday party, her other goal was to find a job in fashion design.

When she returned to her country, she had already sent a few resumes online. There were also a few companies that offered her an olive branch.

Tomorrow was the day of the interview. She could not sleep late, or it would affect her state of mind.

When she fell into a deep sleep, there was a clear consciousness that constantly reminded her that she did not want to stay alone in the UK where she had no family.

It was really too lonely.

…

The next morning, Lin Yan simply washed up and dressed before leaving the house.

The First Company for the interview was very close to the apartment where she lived. If there was no traffic jam, it would only take about ten minutes to drive.

The interviewer was the manager of the company, Zhou Xian. The moment he saw Lin Yan, he rubbed his Chin and said meaningfully, “yes, your image is not bad. ”

Lin Yan frowned. Before she could say anything, Zhou Xian said, “Miss Lin, you have been hired by the company. ”

She was stunned and seemed a little embarrassed.

He didn’t seem to follow the procedure. Normally, he should have asked about her past experience, which university she graduated from, and whether she had any experience in this area. But he didn’t ask anything and directly hired her. Wasn’t this a little too strange?

Zhou Xian saw that she was a little hesitant and explained with a smile “Miss Lin, it’s like this. The head of the Design Department of the company is going to have dinner with a high-ranking military and political official in Lin city tonight. And the design department is now full of male designers. It just so happens that we lack a fashionable and beautiful female designer like Miss Lin. I wonder if you’re willing to use this as a premise to join our design team. ”

The Design Department of this company had always been a top-tier design company that the fashion designers at home and abroad had been fighting to get into. If they only needed to accompany the leader for a while, they would be able to get such a precious opportunity.. Probably not many people would be able to refuse.

Zhou Xian did not hear Lin Yan’s answer and asked again, “Miss Lin, is there a problem? ”

“No problem, I’m willing. ”

Zhou Xian clearly let out a sigh of relief. He walked over and extended a hand to her. “Then, I wish us a happy cooperation and welcome you to join us. ”

“thank you. ”

In the morning, she only came with the attitude of giving it a try. She did not expect to be hired directly.

Even when it was almost time to get off work, she still felt a little surreal.

She did not have much contact with her friends in the country anymore. She picked and picked through her contacts. In the end, she could only send her brother Lin Nancheng a wechat message to tell him that she had found a job and that she had to accompany her leader to go out for social gatherings at night In the future, she would not be a good-for-nothing who could only rely on her family.

Lin Nancheng was in the middle of a military conference. When he saw her wechat message, he only replied with four words, “be careful. ”

She thought that she would receive a few words of encouragement, but none of them came. She stared at the screen for a long time before replying with three words, “got it. ”

After work, Zhou Xian walked straight from the manager’s office to look for her. She turned off her computer and left the company with him in a hurry.

There was a bit of traffic on the way. When the two of them rushed to the Galaxy Hotel, there was less than a minute left until the scheduled dinner time.

The company’s higher-ups were waiting anxiously at the door. When they saw Zhou Xian and the beautiful new female designer beside him, they thanked the heavens and pushed open the door of the private room, leading the two of them in.

Lin Yan followed behind the two of them. She didn’t need to do anything special to see Fu Qingshan sitting in the main seat and the warmth beside him.

This scene was probably the best portrayal of what it meant to meet on a narrow path.

Tonight, Fu Qingshan was wearing an exquisitely ironed dark handmade suit. The light and shadows from the ceiling poured down, obscuring all the edges and lines on his body. However, that military man’s square hair style and that handsome face that looked like a chisel.. It still made him look like an overly masculine and heroic spirit that couldn’t be ignored.

Meanwhile, the warmth beside him had changed from his usual capable appearance. He wore a long gauze dress and his long hair was tied up into a bun. He looked familiar and immortal.

Hearing the footsteps at the door, Fu Qingshan leaned over and flicked the cigarette ash in his hand. Then, he looked over through the light pouring down from the ceiling and the thin smoke.

The second he saw Lin Yan, his straight eyebrows furrowed. But very quickly, it was so fast that no one noticed.

During the day, Zhou Xian had told Yu Zhen about Lin Yan. Although it was the first time they had met, he acted very familiar and did not make anyone feel awkward or awkward.

The three of them walked in. Yu Zhen hurriedly introduced Zhou Xian and Lin Yan to the people at the dining table. “officer Fu, Councilman Wen, this is Zhou Xian, the manager of our design department. The other one is the new beauty designer in our company, Lin Yan. ”

Fu Qingshan only glanced over and did not say anything. Instead, he stood up warmly and nodded to Zhou Xian. Then, he looked at Lin Yan, who was narrating to Zhou Xian. “Yan ‘er, long time no see. When did you come back from England? ”

Lin Yan clenched her handbag and replied in a gentle voice, “a week ago. ”

Seeing that Lin Yan and the congressman’s warm words were very familiar, aftershock hurriedly asked, “Miss Lin and Congressman Wen Know Each Other? ”

“Not really. We’ve only met once before. ”

In fact, Lin Yan had lied.

Wen Nuan was her brother Lin Nancheng’s good friend, so good that she felt that they could be boyfriend and girlfriend friends. However, for so many years, she and her brother had always maintained the distance between friends, the kind that was neither too far nor too close.

Sometimes, she even felt that Wen Nuan was very scary, to actually be able to remain unmoved by such an outstanding brother.

There was no extra expression on warmth’s face. She glanced at the three people in front of her, then pointed to the table and chair opposite her. “please take a seat. Let’s sit down and talk. ”

“Okay, okay. ”

Aftershock very gentlemanly pulled out the dining chair for Wen nuan. That seat was right next to Fu Qingshan, who was sitting in the main seat. “Xiao Lin, you sit next to officer Fu. ”

Her purpose of coming here was to socialize with the leaders. At this moment, it was impossible for her to resist just because the military and political leaders who were socializing were people she knew. Moreover, because they knew each other, they should be even more generous.

Who asked that person to be… … Fu Qingshan …

Lin Yan thanked him and sat next to Fu Qingshan.

The first time they socialized at work, she was somewhat reserved at the beginning. Later, as everyone entered their respective roles, it became a lively conversation scene. She didn’t seem so reserved and afraid anymore.

Halfway through the conversation, Yu Zhen toasted Fu Qingshan.

After finishing his drink, he glanced at Lin Yan beside him and said in a low voice, “Xiao Lin, give a toast to officer Fu as well. Thank him for his support. ”

After hearing that, Lin Yan quickly picked up the glass in front of her and raised it in Fu Qingshan’s direction. “Fu Qingshan, thank you for your help to our company. I’ll drink to this first as a toast. ”

Fu Qingshan looked at her with a pair of deep eyes. He didn’t pick up the glass in front of him until she had finished the entire glass of red wine. Then, he drank it in one gulp.

When so many people toasted him just now, Fu Qingshan either nodded in response or took a SIP. But when it came to Lin Yan, he directly returned the toast. It was self-evident what this meant.

A lot of smiles instantly appeared on Yu Zhen’s face. Previously, he was afraid that he would not succeed if he went along with Fu Qingshan’s wishes. It was hard to guarantee that Fu Qingshan would fall out with him. He did not expect that not only did he not fall out with him, but he even put on a look as if he was going with the flow.

Perhaps only a peerless beauty like Lin Yan in Lin city could enjoy such treatment from him?

After a round of drinking, Yu Zhen and Zhou Xian drank quite a lot. Of course, Lin Yan also drank quite a lot.

In order to keep Fu Qingshan Company, after the dinner ended, Yu Zhen proposed to go to Ziye.

Fu Qingshan didn’t say anything, as if he tacitly agreed to his suggestion.

It also seemed like… … He suddenly became interested …

Or rather, when Fu Qingshan didn’t say anything, no one could figure out his thoughts.

But if he didn’t say anything, it meant that he didn’t reject it, and it also meant that he tacitly agreed.

When the Group of people walked out of the restaurant, Lin Yan walked at the back. Looking at the tall and straight figure in front of her, she couldn’t help but mutter, “he’s so lazy, can’t he just say a word of rejection? ”

After leaving the restaurant, the group of people who were socializing quickly walked towards the parking lot in front of the restaurant.

Lin Yan was at the back. When she walked to the parking lot, the company car was already empty.

They had just drunk and could not drive. Just as they were about to find an excuse to leave, a low male voice came from the half-lowered window of the black spyker in front, “get in my car. ”

The company’s business car also had its window open. Fu Qingshan’s words traveled along the direction of the wind and clearly reached the ears of a few people. They quickly used exaggerated expressions and physical movements to urge her to get into Fu Qingshan’s car.

They were probably thinking that by hooking up with Fu Qingshan, she would be able to walk on the path of prosperity without having to worry about food and clothing.

But she really wanted to say that Fu Qingshan only had the salary of a division commander. If he wanted to raise a rich young lady like her, it would be a little difficult.

Not to mention that a bag of hers cost more than 100,000 yuan, he might not even be able to afford her cosmetics.

Lin Yan still did not say anything. She walked in her ten-centimeter high heels to the black spyker car at the side. Warmth sat in the passenger seat while Fu Qingshan sat in the backseat. There was no other seat She could only accept her fate and open the door of the backseat to get in.
