.)The latest chapter of The Devil Smiling Under the Cherry Blossom Tree That Year!
One week later. City A.
The majestic Beiming Building stands proudly in the center of the city like a city icon.
The president's office located at the top of the building has had the lights on all night since the day Bei Mingye entered. It has never been turned off.
This means that behind the closed door, Bei Mingye has not rested for several days.
This is a man's unique way of venting. He attempts to use high-intensity work to numb his heart that is diseased by longing.
Bidding. Accounting. Evaluation. Selling...
The man stared intently at the beating computer screen. His mind was filled with these proper nouns. He was like a perpetual motion machine, always operating at high speed and never stopping.
Outside the president's office, several female employees who stayed to work overtime and were Bei Mingye's number one fans gathered around and were discussing.
"Sigh. What can I do? It's been almost three or four days. The president has never even left the door. His iron-clad body can't stand it if this goes on."
"Yes. Apart from calling us to tell us what to do, the president didn't say a word or ate anything. This is not normal at all."
"Could it be that I'm possessed by evil spirits? However, the CEO's voice on the phone is normal."
"You're possessed by evil spirits. I heard that the reason why the CEO works so day and night is because he is broken up in love."
A female staff member who thought she was well-informed rolled her eyes at everyone and said proudly.
"Lost in love... how is it possible? Miss Xu comes to deliver chicken soup to the CEO every day. They are such a loving couple. How is it possible that they are in love?"
Although Bei Mingye didn't drink any of the chicken soup, it still represented Xu Xianrou's thoughts.
With a wife who loves him so much, it’s too late for the CEO to be happy. How could he be broken up in love?
"You know nothing. You don't know. I heard that the president and Miss Xu are actually in a physical marriage. The person the president really loves is..."
"Who is it?"
Everyone's emotions rose instantly. It seems that gossip is indeed an eternal theme among women!
"That's really stupid. It's the translator that the president hired a while ago, Li Luowei."
The woman rolled her eyes and looked like everyone was an idiot.
"Li Luowei. It's impossible. With her beauty, how could the CEO fall in love with her."
"Yeah. Just like that. The CEO would only fall in love with her if he is blind. Haha."
Several female staff members were discussing in a lively manner. The more they talked, the more evil they became. They were completely unaware of the cold light behind them.
"It seems you are really free. Why don't you all go home and eat for yourself."
Bei Mingye's cold and serious voice, without any warmth, suddenly sounded behind the female staff.
"ah."
"General...President..."
Several women were so frightened that their whole bodies were trembling.
Sigh. It's all their own fault. They just want to talk. They just came to the door of the CEO's office to talk. Isn't this looking for death?
"President, we... we won't dare next time. Forgive us this time."
One of the female employees had the courage to beg Bei Mingye for mercy.
Who among them could have imagined why Bei Mingye, who had been locked in the office for three or four days, didn't come out early in the morning and late at night. He came out when they were gossiping.
Look at Bei Mingye again. He has a cold expression on his face. His resolute chin is covered with a ring of stubble. His deep eyes are full of tiredness, giving him a sense of decadent beauty.
No one knows why he suddenly walked out. Of course, no one knows how long he will stay in the office.
"Walk."
Seeing that these female staff were really frightened by his ferocious look, the man calmed down his serious expression slightly and ordered softly.
Frankly speaking, he is really not a competent boss. His management style is still at the junior level.
Employees fear him more than they admire him. This is where he fails.
Just like how he behaves, he is always too domineering and too strong. As a result, there are fewer and fewer people close to him.
In the past few days when Li Luowei disappeared, Bei Mingye thought about many things clearly.
For the first time, he felt that maybe his behavior had been wrong all along.
This is true for employees. This is true for family members. This is true for friends. This is true for Li Luowei.
He really wanted to have a chance to start over. He wanted to be nicer to Li Luowei. But he had been looking for her for a long time and still couldn't find her.
God seems to have been completely disappointed with him and has not given him a chance to make up for it.
Bei Mingye finally understood Lin Mo's good intentions. Finally understood the deep meaning of the man's words of "cherishing the people in front of you". But everything was really too late.
Li Luowei. Where have you been hiding? Can you please come back?
After several female employees left angrily, Bei Mingye returned to the villa from the company, dragging his overdraft body.
The luxurious Beiming mansion is still brightly lit.
No matter whether Bei Mingye goes home or not, the chef always carefully prepares a table of delicious food. The whole family sits at the table and waits for him.
Today, it’s still business as usual.
Zhou Shirley came downstairs early and sat upright at the European-style dining table. She looked at a table of hot meals and waited for her only son to come back.
"Mom, please don't wait any longer. Let's eat first. Ye probably has to work overtime again tonight."
Xu Xianrou said to Zhou Shirley.
"If you are hungry, you eat first. I won't be able to eat until I wait for him."
Zhou Shirley said without moving.
Although their mother-son relationship was once tense, Zhou Shirley really invested too much emotion in her only son.
Sometimes when Xu Xianrou watched it, she couldn't help but be moved.
In fact, if it weren't for Li Luowei, maybe their family could really live a happy life.
Damn Li Luowei. Why are you still here to harm people even after you left? You are really annoying..
At this time, the housekeeper suddenly announced excitedly.
"Madam. Young Mistress. Young Master Beiming is back. Young Master Beiming is back."
"What. That kid is back. Where. Where? I have waited for him."
When Zhou Shirley heard the housekeeper's announcement, she stood up ecstatically, shaking her trembling body, and ran to greet him.
Xu Xianrou also stood up excitedly, thinking that Bei Mingye had finally figured it out and could finally forget about that woman and accept a new life.
However, Xu Xianrou's excitement did not last long and was immediately replaced by deep jealousy.
When Zhou Shirley and Xu Xianrou went to welcome Bei Mingye's return with enthusiasm, they were disappointed.
Although Bei Mingye came back, he left immediately.
It only lasted half an hour, and the entire half hour was spent in the small wooden house where Li Luowei once lived.
According to the accompanying servant, as soon as Bei Mingye returned to the villa, he went straight to the cabin, packed some things, and left without leaving a word...
