After Ling Yiheng saw Luo Yun off, he had just returned to his room to sleep when he heard the phone ring.
Seeing that it was a call from Mika, he immediately picked up the call.
"Hello, Mika, why are you looking for me so late?" Ling Yiheng's calm and collected voice came over the phone, his tone carried a natural estrangement.
Mika sniffed at the other end, letting him hear her nose clearly, guessing she must have just been crying.
He wanted to open his mouth to console her, but he didn't know what to say when the words reached his mouth.
He felt more sorry for Mika than he did for her. Their engagement had been so unfair to her.
"Big brother Yi Heng, I want to ask, what is the relationship between you and Zixu?" Mika's voice was weak and shaky.
Ling Yiheng's mind suddenly changed, his pair of black eyes gradually became clear from deep to clear.
"I think I like her." After a moment of silence, Ling Yiheng honestly blurted out.
This was something he had no intention of hiding from Mika, and it was something he should have talked to her about long ago.
In fact, Mika had already guessed what was going on, but when she heard Ling Yiheng tell her the truth and heard it in her ear, she actually felt it.
Her tears were beginning to fall unrestrainedly, her eyes were watering, and she was gasping for breath.
"I'm sorry, Mika. I didn't agree to our engagement from the beginning. It was just a temporary measure." Although Ling Yiheng felt sorry for her, he couldn't do anything at the moment to comfort her.
To comfort her was to give her hope. And he was the last person who could give her hope.
"I want to know when you started. Can you tell me?" After crying for a while, Mika wiped away her tears and asked him the question.
Ling Yiheng didn't know whether he should answer this question or not, because answering it would only harm her a second time.
Seeing his silence, Mika knew she shouldn't ask any more questions. However, she didn't want to easily give up the person she had loved for so long.
"But do you think Auntie will agree to our marriage annulment?" She asked the most fatal question, her voice choked but sharp.
This was also a problem that Ling Yiheng felt was very difficult to deal with. After all, his mother was still in the hospital, so even though her condition had been alleviated, she definitely could not take any stimulants.
"Mika, since it's been made clear. I hope this matter is kept a secret for the time being. When my mother's condition is better, we'll find a way to tell her. "
What Ling Yiheng said made Mika feel ridiculous and pathetic. Why did he feel that he would agree?
It was really because she had shown him her most docile side all these years that he felt that he wasn't as sharp as before.
"Big brother Yi Heng, but I don't intend to break off the engagement with you."
Her calm and indifferent words made Ling Yiheng's heart sink, "What do you want?"
For a moment, he felt as if Mika had become a different person. She was not as gentle and sweet as he remembered her. He had always felt that their engagement had bound her, which was why he felt so guilty towards her.
But now, after crying, he calmly said that he didn't plan on annulling the engagement with her, which made him feel very strange.
"Big brother Yi Heng, it's getting late. It's best for you to rest early." I'm going to the hospital to see auntie tomorrow, so you can come with me then. "
Before Ling Yiheng could say anything, Mika had already hung up.
This was the first time she had hung up without waiting for him.
Suddenly, he had a bad premonition in his heart.
Zuo Zixian was extremely busy in Strasbourg, and as she had been waiting for Song Yunzhi's raw materials to arrive, she now had to produce a fine wine in the new season. Almost the entire winery was working on the new season's wine, so it was naturally her duty as the temporary acting boss.
Furthermore, after going through a series of events, she was able to keep her composure while taking care of the business at the winery. Although he was busy, he didn't lose his footing.
"Zhi Wu, you should rest for a while, it's almost time for today, the workers are all heading home soon." Tabolte looked at the time and proposed to Zuo Zixian, as she really did not want to see him busy all this time.
Zuo Zizhen nodded, just as he was about to speak, he saw a figure walking over from the wine cellar door.
"Rui Chen Yang?" Zuo Zixian was a little surprised, he hadn't seen him for a few days, and now he suddenly appeared.
Although he had read in some news that the CEO of Billions was now busy developing land in Strasbourg, he had been too busy to get in touch.
Rui Chen Yang stood under the setting sun with his beautiful eyes narrowed. His gaze was clear and bright like a pair of jade waves, sparkling with a circulating brilliance.
His entire being was gentle and elegant, giving off a very comfortable feeling. Even Tabolte couldn't help looking at him a few more times.
He had seen Rui Chen Yang before, but they were all in a hurry. This time, seeing him standing right in front of him, it made his heart beat faster for a girl who hadn't experienced love in many years.
"Zi Wu, are you free tonight? I want to invite you to dinner. " Rui Chen Yang walked over with a smile and greeted politely.
Zuo Zixian glanced at Tabolte, frowned, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, our winery has been really busy lately, I'll come and invite you to dinner in a few days."
Rui Chen Yang smiled. He raised his eyebrows and looked a little disappointed, but still nodded his head, "Alright then. If you need me to send you home, my car is right in front."
"Oh, it's better not to bother you." Zuo Zixian said lightly, but still gave him a very sweet smile.
Rui Chen Yang paused, staring at her pretty face for a few seconds before looking away, looking at the wine cellar's decorations and the operation of the surroundings, "It seems like you are still doing well here."
In fact, he rarely saw girls in the mall who could manage their own clan's businesses, and almost all of them needed to live under the protection of their parents and husbands. However, Zuo Zixian clearly didn't belong to that kind of woman.
Hearing his words, Zuo Zizhen immediately felt a little embarrassed, "Actually it's fine, it's just that... My father can't come back right now, so I have to bite the bullet. There are many things I am not so familiar with. Especially with regard to business, I'm really lacking. "
"I can teach you." He blurted out something that made Zuo Zixian's eyes light up, "Really?"
He was a top student in management. He must have been right to help him. And, indeed, she had been thinking of going on to study business management.
Although she had studied a lot in school when it came to management, her father had given her a lot of experience with the wine making process and wine tasting. She was not proficient in management.
That was why she needed someone to guide her.
"Of course, as long as I have the time." His slightly upturned beautiful lips had a smile that could captivate a woman.
Zuo Zixian nodded his head, at this moment he was like a thirsty student, "Then when you have time, tell me, we can make a study plan, when that time comes, you can occasionally teach me the way I do business, I'll pay you."
The moment the last sentence left his mouth, he regretted it and quickly changed it, "I will treat you to a meal!"
Rui Chen Yang couldn't help but laugh, "I got it, then save all the food you owe me and treat me to it slowly."
Zuo Zi naturally had no objections, he chatted with him for a while before bidding farewell to him.
He returned to the headquarters in Paris of the Billions City Corporation, while Zuo Zisheng continued to supervise the wine cellar.
She had begged the workers to work overtime these few days. Quite a few of them were already in deep pain. Zuo Zixian saw this, but he was also worried in his heart.
France is different from home. Workers are free and have a high degree of autonomy. They are disgusted by the overtime work, which is also a difficult issue to manage.
Therefore, she had been thinking recently about going to the country to build a wine cellar and open up a domestic market. By then, the cost of choosing workers will be lower and resources will be more open.
This was something that Song Yunzhi had discussed with her before when they signed the contract, but it hadn't materialized then. Now, she was starting to have such a plan.
However, she lacked funds. This was the biggest problem.
"Zhi Wu, are you really not going to go back and rest? It's almost seven. " After seeing that Rui Chen Yang had left, Tabolte walked over and urged Zuo Zi Shi.
Zuo Zixian smiled and waved his hand, his eyes filled with excitement, "Tabolte, I have a new idea, I think we can definitely run the winery well. "Alright, you can go back first. I'll let you know about the meeting tomorrow."
Although Tabolte didn't know what Zuo Zixian was thinking, she could see the future hope of the winery from her sparkling eyes.
This was the future successor their Dix winery needed, Zuo Zixian had already started to do so.
"Okay, Boss." Tabolte respectfully smiled at Zuo Zixian and nodded her head. Her appearance was very polite, causing Zuo Zixian to be unable to resist laughing out loud.
"Alright, stop playing games with me. Hurry up and go back. I'll go back at 9 o'clock."
Tabolte didn't suspect him. Although she was a bit worried about Zuo Zixian's safety, she knew that the security around here wasn't bad. Furthermore, Zuo Zixian's home was also nearby, so she didn't think too much about it.
However, some of the dangers had already been concealed.
"Hello, boss? I've done what you asked me to do. Could you transfer the rest of the money to my account now? "
In a corner of the wine cellar, a man in a working uniform was talking on a phone with his head lowered and his back facing the wine cellar. His back was very fat, and his weight was more than 200 pounds.
"What's the rush? I haven't even arrived yet and you want money?"
