After finishing lunch, He Chengyu did not wait for An Ruyou to explain to him what he had done yesterday, and then sadly walked towards his own office. Before he even reached, the phone in his pocket rang, and He Chengyu picked up his phone.
After the screen was extinguished, the number was called again.
He Chengyu became impatient and picked up his phone: "Hello, who is this?"
"Cheng Yu, don't you remember me?" A gentle female voice came from the phone, "That's right. How many years has it been since we last saw each other?"
He Chengyu probed, "Mo Qian?"
A bell-like laughter came from the other end of the phone, "Cheng Yu, you really do remember me. I'm so honored!"
He Chengyu said, "We were classmates for three years in high school, how could I not remember you?"
Mo Qian said with a smile, "I still remember that time, we were the only two Chinese in our class. At the beginning, in order to learn English, we agreed to talk with each other only in English, but after our English became better, we could only talk with Chinese, to prevent us from forgetting how to talk when we return, it is really funny now that we think about it."
"Have you returned? Will this number be used frequently in the future? "
"I will. I have to go home and take over the family business now. My father is getting sick."
He Chengyu said, "The last time I saw Uncle Mo, he was always coughing."
Mo Qian's words paused, "My father has cancer, lung cancer, and the cancer cells have already spread very far, so they can only use chemotherapy to maintain his life. Mother is also very sad now, her entire body is about to collapse, I have to finish my career and return home."
"When are you coming? Do you need me to come pick you up?"
"If you want to pick me up, then there's no need to go to the airport. I'm currently at the He family's building. Come here and pick me up!"
He Chengyu stood at the window and looked down. The floor he was on was extremely high, so he could not see Mo Qian. He Chengyu picked up the suit jacket that was draped over the chair, tied it up, and took the elevator to the first floor.
Mo Qian lived abroad all year round, and her aesthetic interests were also relatively close to that of the Americans in the area. Her wheat colored skin was maintained using precious black products every few months, and He Chengyu could see her with a single glance. Mo Qian was tall, conspicuous even in the European beauties, wearing a long Bohemian dress with nude high heels. She stood at the entrance of the She household, attracting people's attention, and even the front desk at the door was chatting.
"Is this a model hired by He family?"
"He family isn't some fashion company, why would there be a model. I'm guessing it must be some big shot's girlfriend."
Just as they were chatting, they saw He Chengyu coming down from the elevator, and the two of them immediately stopped chatting. Standing there solemnly, they exchanged glances, as if to say, "Look, the big shot is here."
He Chengyu recognized Mo Qian with a single glance. She was different from the current popular aesthetic trends in the country, and her figure was actually at a level that normal people would not be able to reach.
He Chengyu probed, "Mo Qian?"
That person revealed a hearty smile and ran over before jumping into He Chengyu's embrace. "Cheng Yu, you've matured, and also become more manly!"
He Chengyu patted her back, "Mo Qian, you get down first. This is our country, so I need to pay more attention to my image in public."
Mo Qian left He Chengyu unwillingly, "If you don't even miss me, I do miss you a lot."
"Let's go in and talk!"
He Chengyu led Mo Qian up the elevator.
The reception desk downstairs was about to explode, "Oh my god, is this Gen Ho's girlfriend? "Isn't that too hot!"
"Furthermore, with that figure, Gen Ho is already tall enough, but she didn't lose to Gen Ho in any way. Wow, Gen Ho is truly fortunate."
"What a perfect couple, looks like the rumors about Anzhong and Gen Ho were definitely rumors."
Mo Qian looked outside from the transparent elevator, "Cheng Yu, you are really awesome, managing He family well, I am still thinking about how to maintain the company well, seems like my worries are unnecessary, as long as I learn from you, it will definitely make the company better."
He Chengyu said humbly, "I do not know much about your family's businesses, and I'm afraid that there are less things that can guide you in."
Mo Qian said, "I can tell you all the secrets about the business!"
The elevator door was just opening, and a few colleagues were waiting for the elevator outside. Seeing He Chengyu bringing such a spicy girl up the stairs, they were all confused.
He Chengyu did not explain anything to them and brought Mo Qian to his own office.
"Mo Qian, did you manage to settle the matters abroad when you came back this time?"
Mo Qian pursed her lips and sat on the sofa beside He Chengyu, "Of course not, my studio is only closed, there are still a lot of unfinished paintings inside. She thought that Mom and Dad might just be trying to trick me to go back to the country, and after living for a while, they didn't come up with any comprehensive plans, and in the end, everything turned out to be real. Dad is really sick, and I really can't go back!"
"Do you have any reliable friends who can help you sell your house and send back all your paintings."
"No need," Mo Qian said, "Just when you mentioned it to me, a scene suddenly appeared in my mind, many years later, I have already turned completely white, and can bring the other half to see the houses and paintings that I left behind when I was young. I think it's very nice, just let them stay in the United States, if something like this happens, I can get someone to send over the pictures!"
He Chengyu said, "You, so many years have passed, but your literary skills have not decreased at all."
"Didn't you say that you would appreciate my literary skills!"
The two of them smiled at each other.
"Do you remember Jim and Christine?"
He Chengyu thought about it, "Is it that skinny Latino boy and his girlfriend?"
"You really have a good memory. I thought you would forget about them!"
"What happened to them?"
"They broke up?"
He Chengyu was puzzled, "Why did they break up?"
Jim and Christine had been together since high school and registered for marriage when they were eighteen. They were so in love that the whole school knew they were the best couple.
When I grew up, I suddenly found that the difference between what I wanted and what I actually wanted was too big. Sometimes, I also think, if I knew that we were going to split up today, why did I have to fall in love so fiercely? Then, a sentence from my mother reminded me that in an era where I didn't know how to differentiate between good and bad, what I met would be what.
He Chengyu nodded his head, "Maybe because they have grown up and have different hearts and minds, separating them may be the best choice for everyone."
Mo Qian said, "Cheng Yu, I've grown up now, and I understand the reason why you only tolerated me by your side back then. Will you still give me this chance?"
He Chengyu averted his gaze. He obviously knew what Mo Qian was saying!
"Anzhong, this budget is too low. Is the data wrong or does Gen Ho want us to go and drink the northwest wind!"
An Ruyou took the documents handed over by his grieving colleague, "This data is indeed strange, you can ask about it at Finance Department!"
"Have you forgotten? Last time, I made the wrong number, Finance Department, and she said that only the official seal of Gen Ho can correct us. Why don't we go directly to Gen Ho!"
"Then go by yourself!"
"No, Anzhong! People at my level can't do business beyond my level!"
An Ruyou picked up the documents and walked to He Chengyu's office to knock on the door, "Gen Ho, I'm An Ruyou, there are some budget issues I need your help to take a look."
"Come in."
When An Ruyou turned the handle of the door, she realized that there was someone in He Chengyu's room, "I didn't know that Gen Ho was busy, I'll come over later."
He Chengyu cleared his throat, "If there's nothing else, just come over!"
After An Ruyou pointed out the mistake to him, He Chengyu started to calculate her own work. An Ruyou could only stand to the side and wait, this woman should not be a member of the He family, because employees could not wear such casual clothes. Furthermore, An Ruyou had already been working at the She family for more than a month, and there were no employees that she had not seen before.
Before she came here, she already knew that the Ann's was working with the He family, so she did not think too much about it. After all, He Chengyu had personally went to the An family to end the engagement, and did not pose much of a threat.
In the midst of the silence, He Chengyu spoke, "This data is indeed wrong, it should be due to the newbie not being familiar with the operation of the computer. Look at this place, if you omit this decimal point, the result will be greatly reduced."
An Ruyou said coldly, "Then why don't you give me the seal of the Gen Ho so that I can use it to ask the Finance Department to make modifications?"
The more Mo Qian looked at He Chengyu, the more she felt that the atmosphere between An Ruyou and herself was not right. She thought to herself, "Could it be that she likes He Chengyu too?"
She stood up and walked behind He Chengyu, placing both of her hands on He Chengyu's shoulders, "Cheng Yu, I just returned to your country, and I don't have any friends in the country, why don't you invite your friends to my banquet tonight, I can get to know more friends."
An Ruyou couldn't help but twitch when she saw Mo Qian's hand on He Chengyu's shoulder.
Mo Qian continued, "Does this sister want to participate too?"
Just as An Ruyou opened her mouth to reject, He Chengyu immediately said, "Alright, it has been a while since my friends in the company organized a meal, then I will offer them to you."
"Of course." Now, she was even more certain that there was indeed something going on between An Ruyou and him.
If An Ruyou rejected her now, it would seem as if she was at odds with He Chengyu, so she said, "Thank you Miss for your invitation, I still don't know your name!"
Mo Qian walked in front of An Ruyou, carrying with him a faint fragrance of evening jade, "My name is Mo Qian, I am the heir to the Mo Clan's medicine factory."
An Ruyou knew that being reserved now was useless, as she would eventually find out her identity, "I am An Ruyou."
"I have heard a lot about you. Even I, who live abroad, know about the Ann's. It can be said that the Ann's is the best company in our hometown!"
He Chengyu stood up and handed over the documents to An Ruyou, "You take it first, remember to come over tonight."
"Got it, Gen Ho."
The moment she walked out of He Chengyu's office, An Ruyou wanted to roll her eyes, "What!? She kept saying that she liked me, but in less than 24 hours, it had already lit up in the east! and came to me to show off. "
