"Did you sleep well?" This was the first phone call that Zuo Ziwang received after he woke up, and it was from Rui Chen Yang.
"It's okay, but I'm afraid I'll have to sleep a little longer."
These few days she had been too tired, so she couldn't help but want to sleep a little more. She didn't really know what Rui Chen Yang was talking about.
"All right, I'll meet you tomorrow for a tour of the Eyre, okay? I've been in Strasbourg a few times and I've never been around properly. "
Zuo Zixian did not answer, but only answered in a daze, as if he had fallen asleep again. This time, Rui Chen Yang did not disturb him and hung up without saying a word.
He walked to the end of the outskirts of Strasbourg and looked out across the wasteland.
He had taken a fancy to this piece of land for a long time. However, they couldn't come to an agreement because of the land agreement. But this time, they had already signed the agreement and were only waiting for the construction to begin.
His plan was to develop the place as a tourist resort, especially in Strasbourg, and it was near enough to Paris for city folk to come and take a vacation.
This was a plan he had come up with long ago, so he would probably be staying in Strasbourg for the time being.
Then, because of this, he would have more chances to interact with Zuo Zixian.
When he thought of her face, Rui Chen Yang felt his heart soften.
Muttering, he looked at the wasteland in front of him, overlapping her face with another young face, as if he was touching the past.
"Big brother Chen Yang, can you play hide-and-seek with me?" A soft female voice sweetly asked the 10 year old Rui Chen Yang. She wore a long and slender braid on her head and had big round eyes under her curved eyebrows. She looked very cute.
"Alright, let's go and play hide and seek together." Rui Chen Yang seemed to hear his own voice saying gently in the small forest.
Gradually, his vision began to blur, and the two tiny figures began to disappear.
After Zuo Zixian woke up, he immediately called Rui Chenyang, because he saw that he had talked to him before and was afraid that he had something to tell him, but he was too sleepy at that time so he didn't care too much.
"Hey, Rui Chen Yang, do you have something to tell me?" she asked.
This time, Rui Chen Yang once again asked her to go to the Eyre River with him. He didn't mind if she missed his phone call because she was sleeping.
"I'm sorry, I'm afraid I can't. I have to go back to the winery to take care of my business. I have to sign the contract. How about asking you out next time?" Although she subconsciously wanted to reject him, thinking about how Rui Chen Yang had treated her so well, she couldn't bear to disappoint him.
"Alright, I understand. If you need me, I can take you back to the winery. I'll be staying nearby. I'll be staying in Strasbourg for a few days." Rui Chen Yang was still very quiet, and did not seem to react much to her rejection, as if he had already expected it.
"No need, I can go over by myself. I'll just drive."
"Be careful."
After hanging up from Rui Chenyang's call, Zuo Zixian heaved a sigh of relief. For some reason, the recent Rui Chenyang always made her feel pressured.
Of course she could feel his approach, but she had not known him for long.
When she thought of him, she naturally could not avoid Ling Yiheng's name. When she saw that only Rui Chen Yang was calling her, and that man didn't even call her, she felt like her heart had turned cold.
It looked like he really was treating himself as a business deal.
Song Yunzhi and her agreed cooperation did not go back on their word and soon flew from Ming City to Paris. Zuo Zixian personally flew to Strasbourg to pick up the plane.
"Manager Song, welcome to our Dix winery. I hope this time we will give you a pleasant journey." Zuo Zixian said to Song Yunzhi with a smile. Under the sunlight, he looked even more worn out than Song Yunzhi.
Although Song Yunzhi was already in her early forties, her figure was well-preserved and her face was very delicate. She looked like she was only a few years older than Zuo Zixian.
"Hello, Miss Zuo. Nice to meet you again." She smiled, and there was a profound look in her eyes.
Zuo Ziwen immediately remembered the last time he saw her, and how she got drunk at the restaurant, and his face immediately turned red.
Song Yunzhi promptly opened her mouth to help, "I believe I'll definitely be very happy this time."
After seeing the size of Dix and tasting the wine they brewed, Song Yunzhi did not hesitate to sign a contract with Zuo Zixian.
For this round's raw materials, both Zuo Zixian and Tabolte had gone to great lengths to sign the contract, but they had not expected it to be so easy.
"Miss Zuo, I hope we can cooperate happily." After signing the contract, Song Yunzhi shook hands with Zuo Zixian.
"Happy cooperation." Zuo Zixian smiled, and then invited Song Yunzhi to her house for dinner.
However, Song Yunzhi politely refused, saying that she wanted to go out for a walk. This was her first time in Strasbourg, so she wanted to take a walk by herself.
Zuo Zixian sent Tabolte to accompany her, to be her interpreter, while he went to the winery to settle the matters after signing the contract.
As the two sat by the side of the road, Tabolte introduced Song Yunzhi to a lot of scenic spots. The other party seemed quite happy.
Before leaving, Tabolte unexpectedly heard Song Yunzhi say, "Miss Zuo and Mr. Ling are very compatible."
Tabolte was somewhat surprised, but she only smiled and did not ask any further.
When Zuo Zizhi returned home after dealing with the matter at the winery, he saw a message from Wechat, and it was actually from Mika. Zuo Zixian's hands trembled as he saw the message.
"Zhi Wu, are you busy?"
Mika was sitting at her own window, hesitating to send this message, but not sure if Zuo Zixian would answer her.
Zuo Zi's heart skipped a beat, but he still replied, "I'm not busy, Mika, do you have anything to say to me?"
Then, Mika sent a voice call invitation.
Zuo Zi's green Yan's face was tense, she didn't know whether she should pick up the call from Mika or not.
But the phone kept ringing and she couldn't refuse.
In the end, she managed to get through.
"Hey, Mika..." Zuo Zixian spoke carefully, his tone already tinged with apology.
On the other side, Mika's mood was clearly a bit awkward as her tone inadvertently revealed her confusion, "Zixian, can you tell me, what's the relationship between you and Yipeng's brother?"
Zuo Zi's heart froze, he didn't think that the most troublesome problem would still come. She had been hoping that Mika might believe Ling Yiheng's words and might not think too much about it.
But it seems that Mika has a good intuition.
"I... Mika, I don't know how to explain this to you. If you really want to ask, you can ask Ling Yiheng. I don't seem to have the right to say it. " Zuo Ziqian was silent for a moment, but he still decided to be honest.
If Ling Yiheng is willing to tell Mika about this, she will not be able to lie to Mika.
"You all … Were they together? " Mika's voice became somewhat strained, as if she was waiting for an answer that was about to come out.
"No. We are not together, we have a very complicated relationship. " Zuo Zixian answered with difficulty, not knowing how to comfort Mika.
After all, Ling Yiheng's disregard for Mika was obvious.
"I understand, I will go ask Yinheng gege. Zixian, I won't blame you, it's just that I really love Yinheng gege. If you don't like him, can you not be so close to him? " Mika's tone was almost pleading with her, as Mika, who was usually straightforward, had never shown her face in front of Zuo Zixian.
Zuo Zixian's heart immediately ached. It was impossible between her and Ling Yiheng, but she had already fallen in love with Ling Yiheng.
Mika had been kind to her, and she could not refuse Mika's request. Moreover, she was Ling Yiheng's real fiancee. As for himself? What is it?
"Mika, I... I hope that you can be good with Ling Yiheng, but this matter is too complicated, I can't explain it clearly. But I never wanted to hurt you. If it's possible, you can ask Ling Yiheng to tell you. "
She wanted to agree to Mika's request, but then she thought of her family's precarious winery. With Ling Yiheng's unpredictable personality, if she did something that made him unhappy, it was very likely that the winery would be destroyed.
It was the only thing she was afraid of, and it had become a sharp knife in her friendship with Mika.
"Alright, I understand. "Zhi Wu, see you."
With that, Mika hung up without hesitation.
Zuo Zixian stared at his phone in a daze, feeling mixed emotions. She'd probably already lost her friend, Mika.
After talking to Zuo Zixian, Mika stood in front of the mirror and arranged her new dress and dress. She put on a light makeup, carefully found every single flaw on her face, and dialed Ling Yiheng's number after confirming that there was nothing wrong with it.
However, after a few attempts, there was no response.
She sat in front of her mirror, her face smeared with tears.
Ling Yiheng had been having secret meetings with Luo Yun for a few days, and he hadn't seen his phone for a few days. He and Luo Yun had missed each other for seven years, so he could no longer wait. Every minute and every second was extremely precious. Thus, he had temporarily left everything behind.
"Sigh, finally, this plan has been finalized. We can finally breathe a sigh of relief." He sighed with satisfaction, gathered his things, and prepared to go home.
In the past few days, he had finally tidied himself up. Wearing an Italian tailored suit and tie similar to Ling Yiheng's, he exuded a mature and elite air, which also attracted quite a bit of attention from the female employees of L. Force.
Although he had never worked in his family business, he had managed to make some connections and would begin to officially enter the family business in a few days' time.
"Mm, let's go back and have a good rest." Ling Yiheng said indifferently, his eyes were also bloodshot. These few days, he had been too tired.
In order to finalize their plan as soon as possible, they had not slept for days and nights.
