Strasbourg, France.
Around 2pm, Zuo Zixian had just finished a staff meeting, and after the staff had all left the meeting room, she stretched lazily, tidied up the documents, and stood up.
Looking out the window at the blue sky, bright and moving sunlight blooming white irises, but the mood is not as good as imagined.
It had been several days since she had returned to Strasbourg, but almost every day she would think about her days with Ling Yiheng.
From time to time his shadow would intrude on her mind, back and forth, back and forth, back and forth.
Several times she had thought of calling him, but then she had thought of her identity, and every time she had to call him back.
And he hadn't given her any news. He'd probably been busy with Mika?
She always thought about what Rui Chenyang had said to her that day, telling her that Ling Yiheng and Mika were going to get married sooner or later, and that those words had always lingered in her mind. She thought it would wake her up, but in reality, it was even more chaotic.
She thought that she could let go of Ling Yiheng, but the more she tried to forget, the more she remembered him, and the more troubled she became.
"Konnie?" Suddenly, Tabolte, who was walking in from outside, called out to her, but Zuo Zixian was standing by the window with his back to her, as if he didn't hear her at all.
After another shout, Zuo Zixian finally reacted and turned around to look at her, "Tabolte, you're here. Is there anything related to the meeting just now?"
Although Zuo Zixian appeared calm and collected, Tabolte, who had been with her for many years, could tell that something was wrong from her subtle expression and the trance she had just experienced.
She handed a document to her, "This is the new employee treatment that I have just proposed. Let me show you, this is something that I made after adjusting the company's recent financial situation."
Zuo Zixian nodded and took it, "I understand, I will look good, if there are no problems, I can carry it out."
"Konnie, are you okay? You don't look so good. " Tabolte asked worriedly. Although she knew that it was a busy time for the winery recently, she could tell that Zuo Zixian was not worrying about business.
Zuo Zixian smiled and shook his head, "I'm fine, I'm probably too tired recently."
Tabolte didn't say anything else, she knew that if Zuo Zixian didn't want to say it, she wouldn't be able to find any results.
"That's right, Konnie. Recently, there have been a few old friends of Uncle Zuo who wanted to meet you. They seem to be trying to rope you into a relationship with Dix." Tabolte added that she had received a number of such calls in the past few days.
Of course, she knew what all of this was for, but it was because they got wind of the fact that they had a good relationship with the CEO of the Hundred Cities Corporation, and this winery was also thanks to Rui Chen Yang's help that they were able to get through this crisis, so these people naturally didn't want to miss such a good opportunity.
Firstly, he could build a good relationship with Dix Wine House, and secondly, he wanted to get to know Rui Chen Yang through her. She had long seen through the worldly wisdom of this kind of shopping mall.
However, now that she was involved, she could only follow the rules of this world.
After setting up her own time with Tabolte, he gave her the arrangements for meeting those people.
After that, a few days passed, and Zuo Ziqian's free time was almost completely allocated to meet all kinds of people. There were some old friends of the so-called 'father' who had not been contacted for many years, but no matter who she was to meet, she would accompany them to meet with a smile.
It wasn't easy for him to see all those people, and Zuo Ziqian also realized that it had already been half a month.
And during this half a month, Ling Yiheng actually didn't contact her.
She had been trying to make herself forget it, but the longer she thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt, and yet for various reasons she had not been able to contact him.
These past few days, Rui Chen Yang had been on the phone with her, video chatting, sharing some work and gossiping, their relationship seemed to be even better than before.
But to Zuo Zizhen, the relationship between them was more like friendship, and as for the others, she was still unable to improve.
The days seemed to have returned to before they met Ling Yiheng, but she couldn't pretend that nothing had happened between them.
She thought it was reasonable that he had not contacted her. After all, it didn't matter what they said, but she also thought it was strange that someone as domineering as him would not give up so easily.
But maybe he didn't want to continue the fight between them?
When she thought of the possibility that she would never have the chance to see Ling Yiheng again, her heart ached and she felt a faint pain.
In a prison in Boston.
Sun Zekai, with his green hair dyed, accompanied by Bai Te, saw Sun Yi, who was still locked up.
In these few months, he could be said to be living like a year, but Ling Yiheng's influence was just too great. Even if they did everything they could to find so many people, they still wouldn't be able to get him a chance to stand trial.
If this continued, he would face at least five years in prison when the case was closed. This was an unbearable blow to the Sun family and their entire group.
Sun Zekai took the phone and asked about his recent progress. Looking at his father's ageing appearance, he hated Ling Yiheng even more.
Inside, Sun Yi was holding a phone as he looked at his son on the other side of the glass. He didn't spend too much time with him before asking about the recent movements of the L. Force group and Ling Yiheng.
Sun Zekai immediately informed Sun Yi of the news that Bai Te had helped him. He found out that Ling Yiheng had recently been planning on a piece of land in a prime location, but the contract was not signed and they were still in the process of discussing. The biggest competitor was another well-known company in Ming City.
Sun Yi's cloudy eyes flashed with a trace of viciousness. He immediately whispered to Sun Zekai.
A few minutes later, Bai Te An spoke a few more words with Sun Yi before hurriedly leaving with Sun Zekai.
In another L. Force group, Ling Yiheng had just returned from a meeting outside and immediately saw a stack of documents on his desk. They were all about the real estate development case.
Recently, he had been busy with Luoyang on the development of the property. In addition to the expansion of the business district, he was extremely busy. Even the time for eating and sleeping had been shortened, let alone other things.
He couldn't even spare the time to visit the hospital, so he allowed Zhou Heng to bring his mother's favorite food to the hospital.
It wasn't easy for him to relax a little today, but the documents immediately loosened up and waited for the approval.
Perhaps it was because he couldn't sleep well, but he had been very pale for the past few days, and his temper was even colder than usual. Every day he would act like a black-faced Yama, causing the entire company to feel as if they were treading on thin ice, afraid of angering him and causing them to lose their jobs.
However, sleepless and too busy with work were only part of the reason. The other reason was that the one he didn't want to admit to himself the most was Zuo Zixian.
She seemed to be used to the feeling of being around her for the past few days, so when she wasn't around these few days, she felt like something wasn't right. However, he didn't expect that girl to not even give him a message on the phone, which really made him angry.
Originally, she should have flown directly to Strasbourg to drag her back to Ming City, but now that there was so much to do, she put it on hold.
He was happy for her, too, when the recent news from the wine industry said that Dix had begun to rise again and that it was beginning to sound good. However, when he saw the names "Billions City Group" and "Rui Chenyang" appearing frequently on the screen, his face immediately turned dark.
The thought of her accepting Rui Chenyang's help made him boil with anger.
He probably thought that if he didn't find her, he would never be able to see her again in this life. In the end, he still dialed her number.
When Zuo Zixian received the phone call from Ling Yiheng, he had just finished dinner. He was surprised to see Ling Yiheng calling, but he was more surprised than surprised.
She hesitated, looking at the ringing phone, unsure if she should answer it.
Although she had been looking forward to it these past few days, she felt that she shouldn't continue to tangle with him.
However, the phone did not seem to be able to wait for the answer, just like Ling Yiheng's domineering attitude, causing Zuo Zixian to have no choice but to slide towards the answer.
"Left Scholar! Are you going to never contact me? " As soon as the call connected, it was Ling Yiheng who spoke in a sullen tone. His voice was a little hoarse, as if revealing a trace of fatigue.
The person on the other end of the line swallowed and pretended to be calm. "Why should I contact you? There's nothing between us, is there? "
Hearing her words, the man became even angrier, his eyebrows furrowed, but he still laughed from the bottom of his anger, his tone tinged with evil, "Oh? You shared my bed not long ago, and now you have nothing to say to me? "Women are really fickle."
These words caused Zuo Zixian to be stunned, he was so angry that he rolled his eyes, not knowing how to reply.
Seeing that she didn't say anything for a long time, Ling Yiheng continued, "Have you forgotten what I told you?"
Zuo Zixian was a little confused, "What are you talking about?"
"I told you to stay away from Rui Chen Yang, but you obviously ignored me."
Zuo Ziqian immediately understood that he had received the news and that he had accepted Rui Chenyang's help.
She snorted coldly, "It's none of my business who I'm communicating with and who I want to stay away from. It has nothing to do with you."
"Zuo Zixian, you'd better wait until I get to France." The man's voice was low and threatening.
She was surprised that he was coming to France, but then she replied more calmly, "What does it matter to me where you're going? It's not like I'm going to see you. "
"It's not up to you to decide if you want to see or not." As he spoke, he had booked his ticket to Strasbourg in two days.
Zuo Zi Xing gritted his teeth, "If I say I won't see you, then I won't see you. Since you have nothing to do, then I'll go and busy myself, see you later!"
