No matter what, Tang Hongbo felt that since she was able to take the initiative to ask for peace, it would mean that she was still kind to him.

"CEO, although the collaboration with Sima Yun has run aground, the design works of the Miss Duan are indeed very good, but no one wants to buy it now, it will affect both Miss Duan and our company, how do we deal with this matter?" Secretary Wang said as he handed over the information in his hands to Tang Hongbo.

"These are all works designed by the Miss Duan. This seems to be the design work for the next season, and was originally thought of as by Sima Yun. We have already sent the design to the Production Department, and now they seem to be working on it." Secretary Wang said.

"When I came here, I had already made a call and produced a portion of it. However, I've already asked them to stop. What do you think we should do now?" Secretary Wang said indifferently.

"Good, well done. Let them stop their work first. This batch of jewelry, keep it a secret for now." Tang Hongbo said.

"But Miss Duan, you will definitely ask her. Is it hard to explain it to the production department?" Secretary Wang said, looking at Tang Hongbo with difficulty.

"I know, I will explain. If they have any questions, just come and find me." Tang Hongbo seemed to no longer have any patience.

"Alright, I will instruct them. Also, do we still need to investigate that matter?"

"Search, we have to find out." Tang Hongbo said solemnly, and paused for a moment before continuing.

"But, you have to do it in private. Don't make such a big fuss about it."

"I understand. Then, CEO, if there's nothing else, I'll go back first." Secretary Wang laughed.

"Alright, in an hour, turn on the video conference." Tang Hongbo reminded.

On the busy street, Rong Xuan was bored from waiting. He got down from the car and lit a cigarette with frustration and placed it between his fingers. He rarely smoked.

It was just that two years ago, after Duan Wenyu had gone missing, he had used his cigarettes and alcohol to numb himself, and forced himself to forget about Duan Wenyu. However, the more he drank, the more clear-headed he became, and no matter what, he could not accept the fact that Duan Wenzhuo had already died.

That period of time was the darkest in his life. At the lowest point in time, he did not understand, and did not understand either why Tang Hongbo would immediately get married to another woman the moment he disappeared.

When he heard that the person that Tang Hongbo married was a Second Miss that the Duan Clan had just found and was even an illegitimate daughter, he became even more curious and at the same time, greatly hated Tang Hongbo.

Duan Wenyu was his fiancee, and right now, her corpse was still cold. Why would he still have the mood to get married and be courteous to other women? Although he knew that Duan Wenyu did not have him in his heart, he was still willing to do whatever it was good for him to protect her from a distance.

But now, she didn't even give him the right to protect her, but first she knew how sad he was. In the end, her sadness turned into hatred towards Tang Hongbo.

So, he wanted to see who the woman who married Tang Hongbo was.

Who exactly was it that had married Tang Hongbo without regard for the accusations of the outside world? Just what kind of woman would have such a heart?

When he first saw Duan Wenzhuo, he almost lost control. This woman looked extremely similar to Duan Wenyu, could it be that it was because she looked like Duan Wenyu that Tang Hongbo married her?

Was she just a substitute?

However, when he looked at the girl called Duan Wenzhuo, there was not a trace of anger on her face.

She dressed so nicely, accompanying Tang Hongbo through the crowd, she was just like a marionette. When Tang Hongbo made her laugh, she would laugh, and she would pretend to be wronged.

At that ball, he knew that Tang Hongbo had won a lot of orders with his acting.

He had been observing Duan Wenzhuo all night, so Tang Hongbo naturally did not notice.

At last he had a chance to touch her alone.

She had been standing alone on the balcony of the meeting place, her eyes blank.

He gently walked over and said.

"Hello, Miss Duan." There should be nothing wrong with him greeting her like this, he thought.

However, when Duan Wenzhuo heard him, he looked at him with a gaze akin to a frightened little white rabbit.

But Duan Wenzhuo only looked at him, without saying a word, he turned and left.

He felt a little strange. Was his words wrong? Or was she a cold and aloof person in the first place?

He stood in place and looked at her skinny back. She was exactly the same as Duan Wenyu, and he was stunned for a moment.

Even his back looked so similar.

The second time he saw her, it was in his hotel.

Two years ago, he was thrown into a hotel by the old man for the sake of tempering his will. He had just taken up his first day and met her.

So she worked in his hotel.

When he finally found the opportunity to speak to her, it was time for him to promote her.

She was still standing in front of him like a frightened little rabbit. He couldn't help but want to laugh, and looking at her familiar face, he couldn't react for a moment.

"President, why are you looking for me?" Unexpectedly, he spoke first this time.

He was stunned for a moment before replying.

"For the past six months, you have been the one to win the Best Rookie Award. What are your thoughts?" He looked at her unsmiling face and had to put on a businesslike tone.

From the looks of it, she could not remember who he was or where she had seen him before.

"You want to get promoted and raise your salary?" Duan Wenzhuo said in a very calm tone.

However, it was him who couldn't help but to sob. Originally, he had come to find her to discuss the promotion, but he didn't expect that she would say it out loud first. It seemed that she was also someone with ambitions.

But it was also no wonder that if he did not have such ambitions, who would still agree to marry Tang Hongbo at such a crucial time?

When he thought of this, he could not help but sneer in his heart.

Then he spoke.

"Do you really want to be promoted?"

"Whatever." Duan Wenzhuo replied indifferently.

He choked again, not expecting her to answer him in such a way, which left him at a loss as to what to do next.

But in the end he did.

Duan Wenzhuo thanked her and then turned to leave.

"Wait."

Duan Wenzhuo stopped in her tracks, and turned around to look at him. The expression in her eyes was clear, as if she was a little girl who had yet to see the world, but a person with such a pair of clear and bright eyes, did not seem to be someone with ambition.

He thought he might as well test her.

"If I promote you, can you just say thank you?" he asked deliberately.

"What do you mean?" Duan Wenzhuo looked like he didn't understand what was going on, and looked at him.

"Shouldn't you treat me to a meal or something? Do you want to express your gratitude?" He looked at her and smiled.

She seemed to seriously consider this question for a moment, then seriously replied.

"I'm sorry, I can't treat you to dinner." Duan Wenzhuo seemed to say very seriously.

"Why?" He almost blurted out subconsciously.

"The conditions are not allowed." Duan Wenzhuo thought for a while and said.

"No money?" he asked.

"Yes." Duan Wenzhuo nodded and agreed with what Rong Xuan said.

"It's really strange, Tang Hongbo's wife, actually said that she has no money?" He smiled playfully.

But Duan Wenzhuo just looked at him warily, her eyes were filled with caution, as though she had retreated a few steps, and asked him with a trembling voice.

"You, how did you know?"

He smiled to himself. She had indeed forgotten about the first time they met.

"Is it strange?" Duan Wenzhuo, the Mrs. Tang that Tang Ming officially married, is it that difficult to find out? " He spoke slowly, studying the expression on her face.

She seemed to be afraid of others knowing that she was Mrs. Tang, this point he still could not figure out. He knew that Duan Wenzhuo was Duan Wenyu's younger sister, the illegitimate daughter of the Duan Clan, and that was all he knew about her.

However, he suddenly became interested in her, not because he liked her or loved her, but because she married Tang Hongbo. It could also be because she looked too much like Duan Wenyu.

But it didn't seem like she, either, except that Duan Wenzhuo looked similar to her, the rest didn't look like her either. Duan Wenyu was confident, compared to the spoiled Duan Wenzhuo who had always loved her since she was young, she didn't look like her at all.

The only thing he could find fun in life was the Duan Wenzhuo in front of him. How could he let her go?

Duan Wenzhuo looked at him with his eyes wide open, as if he didn't believe what he had just said.

"Then, you, can you help me keep this a secret?" Duan Wenzhuo suddenly begged in a small voice.

"Sure, but you have to listen to me from now on." he suddenly said mischievously.

But when he thought about it, she actually turned around and left, and didn't even pay attention to him. He suddenly felt that life had become a bit more promising, even if he couldn't use this as a threat to Tang Hongbo.

Just like this, while he was teasing Duan Wenzhuo, he gradually forgot about the pain of losing Duan Wenyu. In these past few years, Duan Wenzhuo had changed a lot.

But just when he thought he was about to forget about Duan Wenyu, she suddenly came back at this time. The moment she saw him, there were no words to describe how he felt.

Happy, sad, wronged, shocked … There were people he thought he would never see in his entire life, but after two years, they suddenly appeared in front of him.
