Yin Haoze saw Xu Ou's return on the news, and his worries finally came to an end. After all, Shao Tianze was still more powerful, able to hold on until the clouds cleared and the moon came out, but he also understood the pressure Xu Ou was about to bear. Shao Tianze was different from Zhuo Xi.
Lin Anxin couldn't stand the pressure from Zhuo Xi's parents and was forced to break up with Zhuo Xi. In addition to Mr. Shao, the Shao family also had two older brothers who never got along with Shao Tianze.
If it was Xu Ou in the past, they would definitely have no objections, but now, in the final analysis, they still harmed Xu Ou.
He wanted to see them, but felt that he was superfluous. At this time, perhaps it was best for them to be alone.
Thinking of this, the car turned around and returned to his company.
As soon as he entered the company, the employees had ambiguous looks in their eyes and hesitated to speak. Yin Haoze had a vague feeling that something was wrong. It was not until he saw the busy figure in the office that his worries were finally confirmed.
Lu Xiaowen was in his office, dressed like a nanny and working hard. The bewildered janitor aunt standing next to her kept saying: "Miss, please put me down, this is my job."
"What do you know? Haoze's office must be organized by me myself."
Lu Xiaowen was wiping her sweat while talking. When she raised her head, she saw Yin Haoze standing at the door with an unnatural look on his face.
Seeing that Lu Xiaowen found him, Yin Haoze turned around and left. Lu Xiaowen threw away the mop and rushed out to hold Yin Haoze's arm: "Haoze, you are back... I will make you a cup of coffee!"
With that said, he turned around to make coffee again.
When Yin Haoze saw her grabbing a pack of instant coffee, brewing it and handing it to him, he couldn't help but twitching his lips: "I don't drink instant coffee."
Lu Xiaowen lowered her head and said aggrievedly: "But I don't know how to cook... But don't worry, I will learn it soon!"
Yin Haoze was very impatient: "What on earth do you want to do?"
Lu Xiaowen said: "After what happened last time, I seriously reflected on myself, and I admit that it was my own fault that caused you to lose face. I will never do it again, and I will give you enough face! What do you want to do?
Everything is fine, but... you just can’t live without me.”
"Anything can be done?" Yin Haoze said dangerously.
"Of course, once a word is spoken, it's hard to follow it!"
"Okay, now turn around, walk forward, turn right at the end, take the elevator to the door, and then go out. You are not allowed to come back from today!" Yin Haoze said.
"You still don't want me!" Lu Xiaowen said angrily.
Yin Haoze thought for a while: "I like girls who are intellectual and knowledgeable. Now that the winter vacation is over, how many days has it been since school started? You are still skipping classes every day, which shows that you are uneducated and incompetent."
"You mean, as long as I do well in the final exam, you will agree to be my boyfriend?"
"Well, within the scope of consideration, other aspects will be examined at that time."
"What else? Just say it once and for all. You don't have to change it one by one."
"You can't accomplish anything if your heart is too big. If you do what you ask now, I think you can do it. If I ask you to do something more difficult, do you think it will work? You can't even do this. How can I believe it?
you?"
When Lu Xiaowen heard this, it made sense: "Well, I'll go back and study hard, I won't skip classes anymore, and I'll see you again on the weekend."
Yin Haoze secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "Go."
Lu Xiaowen turned around and then came back: "Then I won't be able to see you for the next few days, so you can leave me a souvenir."
Yin Haoze frowned: "What do you want to do?"
Lu Xiaowen gave Yin Haoze a kiss without hesitation, but was noticed by the assistant who came in to deliver the materials. He was so frightened that he quickly avoided it.
Yin Haoze had no choice but to endure it in order to get rid of Lu Xiaowen as soon as possible.
Lu Xiaowen jumped back and accidentally kicked the trash can, a broom and a mop that she had just arranged.
The cleaner aunt shook her head, grabbed the broom and swept every corner of the office. Yin Haoze saw black lines. What were those? Paper peels were all swept under the table and sofa by Lu Xiaowen. From the outside, it looked like
It's clean, but it's actually several times messier than before. From the looks of it, she clearly emptied the trash can and then diligently swept it into the corner.
Yin Haoze was troubled to see such a woman on the stall.
After the last meeting, it was already half past six in the evening. Recently, there was a project bidding. Although it was not as big as the Cultural City project back then, it was still one of the largest projects in X City in recent years. There were ten companies participating in the bidding.
Among several companies, the Hao'an Group has been settling down for two years, and they want to grow through this project and regain the social status that the Yin family had back then.
After several meetings and discussions, the competitors were mainly targeted at Kangjie Group and another foreign company. According to Yin Haoze’s insiders in the government department, this leadership’s intention is not to allow foreign capital to participate, so the main competitor is Kangjie, an old enemy.
group.
Hao'an and Kang Jie have a long-standing feud, and both sides will try their best in this battle.
Yin Haoze was getting ready to get off work when he suddenly received a strange call.
Unexpectedly, it was Xu Ou who called him. Xu Ou took the initiative to call him. Yin Haoze was very surprised and his voice was a little excited.
"Xu Ou? How could it be you?"
Xu Ou said: "Haoze, I want to talk to you."
"Okay, you decide the time and place." Yin Haoze said.
No matter what Xu Ou wants to talk to him about, the fact that she takes the initiative to talk to him shows that she has let go of her worries and is willing to solve the problem head-on.
They still met in the VIP coffee shop they often went to before, and it was still the same private room. Everything was so familiar.
Xu Ou is much thinner than before, his energy is not as good as before, and there is a bit more vicissitudes in his eyes.
Seeing Yin Haoze again, she felt a little emotional in her heart, but she no longer had the impulse as before and could sit calmly in front of him.
Yin Haoze said: "Are you okay?"
Xu Ou smiled faintly: "It's okay." After a pause, she said, "I came to you today to trouble you with something."
"Say it, as long as I can do it." Yin Haoze said.
Xu Ou said: "You don't have to be like this. I know you want to compensate me in your heart. If you think about it carefully, you can't be blamed for those things. Everything was caused by my own obsession. During the two years I was there, the company has always been
You're in charge, you've helped me a lot, and you don't owe me anything anymore."
Yin Haoze felt very sad. He didn't want to see her like this. After all, Xu Ou was once his most trusted friend. If it weren't for Ruoxuan, they wouldn't have known each other. But it was also because of Ruoxuan that he indirectly let her go to hell.
"In my heart, I will always owe you. Nothing can be done to make up for it. This kind of debt cannot be settled simply by doing a few things for you."
Xu Ou felt sour in her heart. She spent the most splendid youth of her life to love this man in front of her, and in the end she just got a "I'm sorry". In the eyes of others, it was so unworthy, but she was already very satisfied, at least.
He will feel guilty about himself, at least he still cares about himself, even if it is just out of friendship.
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. We haven't talked about the business yet." Xu Ou took a deep breath and said.
"you say."
"Tianze brought me back and endured a lot of pressure, as you may already know..." Xu Ou said.
"It's conceivable, but he is sincere to you and will not let you down because of pressure."
"I know, that's why I came to you, hoping you could persuade him."
"Persuade him? What to persuade him?"
"Leave me. I can't bear to refuse him anymore. He is very stubborn and unwilling to give up, so I can only come and beg you. I know that although you didn't have a good relationship before, you are now good friends. Maybe if you say
He will listen to a few words."
"Do you think I might be this kind of person? I hurt you, and I want to persuade him to leave you. If I were him, he would definitely beat me to death." Yin Haoze said with a smile.
"You will find a way. His father wants to stop all his financial income. He wants to take me out of x city and go abroad. He actually wants to escape the pressure on him here. There are some things that cannot be solved by escaping.
One day he will come back here to face everything, and I don't want to delay him."
"I won't do you this favor. Xu Ou, I'm sorry for you, so I hope you are happy. Shao Tianze was not very good at love before. This is the most serious time I have ever seen him. If you miss this time, you may
I will never find someone who loves you so much. I will not advise him to leave you, but I will advise you to think about it again."
"Don't think about it, being with me will destroy him!" Xu Ou raised his voice and said, "Think about it, who would trust him if he was with a woman with a criminal record? His career will definitely be implicated. He
Now I can’t feel what it would be like for a man to have no career? Haoze, you have experienced it before, you should know it very well.”
How could it not be clear? During that period of depression, Yin Haoze had no one to talk to about his anguish.
"And I can't have children. He will say it doesn't matter now, but what about in the future? Even if he really doesn't care, I care. I long to have a child of my own and hope to see him grow up. If I am with him, he will spend the rest of his life.
Cautious, afraid of touching the scars in my heart. Just like when he just came back from his house that day, we both knew that we were avoiding each other, but we were unwilling to say anything. Cautious, walking on thin ice." Xu Ou said.
She had no tears left, but the pain in her heart had not diminished at all.
"Will we really be happy together like this? I live with my guilt for him, and he lives with his care for me. It's like a piece of glass, it looks clear but is extremely fragile."
"He has told me about your concerns a long time ago. Maybe you are right, but if you don't give it a try, how will you know whether your relationship is glass or diamond?" Yin Haoze said, "Xu Ou, be positive. What happened in the past
Everything has passed. If you are really good for him, then face everything with him bravely."
Xu Ou suddenly lost the courage to refute.
How can you tell whether it is glass or diamond without trying it?
