"Why did Karen Group of Canada temporarily cancel its cooperation with us? Did you ask why? " Ling Yi Heng asked the person in charge of the case on the other end of the phone with an unsightly expression.
It had to be known that both he and Zhou Heng had done a lot of preparation for this partnership case. They had also put in a lot of effort, not to mention the human and financial resources that the company had put in for this.
A contract worth several hundred million yuan was cancelled just like that. How could he not be anxious?
"Uh, CEO, this matter might be related to your scandal …" The person in charge hesitated for a long time, but still decided to say it out.
Ling Yiheng's face stiffened, "What did you say?"
Sensing the danger in his tone, the person in charge swallowed and took a deep breath before daring to speak out, "It's because of the director from Canada, and you know that he's a Chinese man in his early 60s. He's always been conservative, seeing your scandal, and thinking that you're a two-time prostitute, CEO. "So …"
"So because of this, the alliance was cancelled?" Ling Yiheng's expression was clearly surprised, he did not expect that the cooperation would be cancelled for this reason.
He had been through a lot since taking over L. Force, and it wasn't as if he had been canceled, but it was the first time he had been cancelled because of his scandal.
"CEO, take a look. Do you want to hold a press conference to clarify this matter …"
The person in charge on the other side was interrupted by Ling Yiheng, "No need. I know what I'm doing. Go and busy yourself."
With that, he hung up the phone, his jaw tensed.
Zuo Zixian and Rui Chenyang chatted nonchalantly in the ward while Zhou Heng stood at the side waiting for Ling Yiheng.
Upon seeing Ling Yiheng walk in, Zhou Heng shot forward like an arrow, "Boss, is there anything I can do?"
Ling Yiheng glanced at him, then looked at Rui Chenyang, who was looking at him, with a serious look, "You go out and wait for me, I'll come out right away, then we'll go to Paris together."
Zhou Heng nodded and quickly left the room.
All of a sudden, the three of them were the only ones left in the ward, and the atmosphere once again became tense and tense.
Ling Yiheng stood in front of Zuo Zixian. Her expression made her feel uneasy, her lips were a little sore, and her heart was beating even faster.
Rui Chen Yang was very quiet, but he did not let Ling Yi Heng's actions slip by, as he stood beside Zuo Zixian like a guardian.
"You better remember what I just said. Don't try to rebel against me." Ling Yiheng's voice was dignified, and his face was cold.
Zuo Zixian stubbornly turned his head, "You can forget about forcing me to do something I don't want to do."
At this moment, the air in the entire ward seemed to have frozen, as if even a breath of air could alarm their emotions.
"Don't challenge my patience." The coldness on his face made it clear that he was not joking.
If not for the presence of Rui Chen Yang, he would have already forced her to submit.
To this, Zuo Ziqian replied with a firm silence, as if he had lost his temper, and didn't utter a sound, as if he had made up his mind not to care about him.
When did Ling Yiheng receive such treatment?
He was about to walk over to his hand, but was stopped by Rui Chenyang.
His cold eyes were fixed on Rui Chenyang, but the look in his eyes was as clear as water, like a quiet spring.
"Director Ling, please stop as much as you can, don't do anything that would displease Zixie." Rui Chen Yang's words were soft and pleasant to the ears, but they were filled with a determination that could not be ignored.
It had been a long time since they had been together. Usually there were occasions when both of them were asked to attend, and it seemed as if they had agreed that they would be absent, or one of them, almost never appearing together.
However, recently, it seemed that they would often bump into each other for the sake of Zuo Zixian.
He didn't know if this was fate or something.
Rui Chenyang's reaction made Ling Yiheng's eyes turn even darker. His jaw tightened and his fists were clenched tightly, as if he was suppressing his anger.
"Get out of the way, the matter between her and me has nothing to do with you." His thin lips curled down, and under his eyes a fierce anger gathered.
"I won't give you the chance to harm the Scholar." Rui Chen Yang maintained his indifferent look, but did not show any signs of backing down, and expressed his stance.
Seeing this, Zuo Zizhen's body stiffened, and he felt a sense of nervousness in his heart.
Before Ling Yiheng could reply, Zuo Zixian stood up from his sickbed and looked at them with a serious expression, "Stop arguing."
She turned around and snappily looked at Ling Yiheng, "I will consider the matter you've told me, but you can't force me. Moreover, I'm currently a patient, if I want to rest, then you can leave first."
Seeing that her attitude had eased up, the man's face softened a little. However, he was unhappy that she had ordered him to leave but not Rui Chen Yang.
"What about him?" he asked, raising an eyebrow.
If this damnable woman dared to be alone with Rui Chenyang all the time, he would definitely teach them a lesson.
Zuo Zi Wu looked at Rui Chen Yang, and felt a headache.
"Zhi Wu, I will stay with you and leave tonight." Rui Chen Yang said with a smile. His gentle and handsome face was covered with golden light under the sunset, making him look more like a perfect angel.
Standing opposite of him, Ling Yiheng was like a demon from hell, frightening people but unable to fight back.
"I forbid it!" If you want to leave, then come with me! " Ling Yiheng snapped.
He didn't want to let Zuo Zixian and Rui Chenyang stay together until night time. Letting him come and not blowing him out was already his limit.
For some reason, Zuo Zixian felt that the current Ling Yiheng was like a child whose toy had been snatched away by someone. His mature and handsome face had a childish anger to it, making her feel a little cute.
However, she quickly dismissed that thought from her mind.
What a joke, Ling Yiheng was not cute, he was a vile demon lord!
Rui Chen Yang ignored him, not moving at all. Naturally, he had no intention of leaving.
Zuo Ziqian frowned and felt stuffy, he didn't know what to do.
She went back to the bed and lay down on the bed. She pulled up the blanket and looked at the two of them for a while before saying, "I'm tired. I want to rest."
The meaning behind his words was that they could go somewhere else to rest.
But her posture was so obvious that anyone could see she was trying to get rid of them.
"Zhi Wu, do you really not need me to stay behind to accompany you?" Rui Chen Yang was a bit helpless, but he would still respect Zuo Zizhen's opinion.
He also knew that if he were to stay, Ling Yiheng would definitely not let this matter rest.
Zuo Zixian curled his lips, looked at Ling Yiheng, and sighed weakly, "You can all leave, I want to rest well by myself."
Hearing her say that, Rui Chen Yang could not force himself anymore. With a gentle smile on his face, he said, "Alright then, I'll come see you tomorrow morning."
Ling Yiheng's hostile look had also disappeared, and he became a bit gentler. He said in a deep voice, "Rest well. If you need anything, just ring for a doctor. I've taken care of all the doctors here. They will take good care of you."
Zuo Zi's heart skipped a beat, but there were no ripples on his face, and he just nodded and replied "En", and there was nothing else.
For no reason at all, he was disturbed by his words.
Ling Yiheng remembered that he still had something to take care of, so he didn't delay any longer. He turned around and walked towards the door.
However, he didn't forget to pull Rui Chenyang along when he left.
Zuo Zixian watched as Rui Chen Yang was dragged out of the ward by Ling Yiheng, and couldn't help but laugh out loud while covering his mouth; his shoulders were shaking from the laughter.
From the looks of them, those who didn't know the situation might even think that they were a couple.
It was even funnier to think of the two of them accidentally kissing on the lips back at her house.
After Ling Yiheng left the ward, he and Zhou Heng left together, preparing to drive to Paris.
Rui Chen Yang got into his car. While he was in the car, he did not forget to look at the window of Zuo Zi Shi's ward, a strange feeling flashing through his heart.
However, he didn't stay for long as he didn't want to make things difficult for the Left Scholar.
On the way back, Zhou Heng did not forget to report to Ling Yiheng about the matter regarding Mika, "Boss, Miss Mika has already asked me to book a plane for her to return home tomorrow morning at 10 am. However, she doesn't seem to be in a good mood, and she still hasn't returned to the residence we arranged for her."
Ling Yiheng's face didn't change. He only said calmly, "I understand. You can call her later as long as she is fine."
Now that he had enough work to do with L. Force and Zuo Zixian, since Mika was still acting like this, he couldn't do anything about it. He could only try his best to make it up to her in the future.
"Alright."
Although he felt it was a little inappropriate to call Mika instead of Ling Yi Heng, he could not reject his own Boss' orders.
Besides, there was no way to solve Mika's problem. It seemed like she would have to wait for her to figure it out.
"Help me arrange a meeting in Paris tomorrow morning. Remember to ask the director who has spoken to the Karen Group of Canada to attend." Ling Yiheng instructed him in a serious manner. His mind was already planning on how to salvage this cooperation case.
Zhou Heng nodded. He had followed Ling Yiheng for so many years, so he could more or less guess what he was thinking.
"Is Boss going to your apartment in Paris now?" Zhou Heng asked, not too sure.
"Back to the company."
Hearing Ling Yi Heng's words, Zhou Heng couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. He never thought that Ling Yi Heng would actually return to the company to handle business matters.
"But, Boss, your body …"
"I'm fine, I know what I'm doing." Without waiting for Zhou Heng to finish, he was interrupted by Ling Yiheng.
He knew, of course, that the doctor had told him to try not to work these days, but there was nothing he could do about the company.
Especially... If he was idle, he would think about that woman, Zuo Zixian.
