Everyone lined up in two lines and bowed to him one after another and said, "Good morning, Mr. Ye!"
Ye Chengzhi glanced at everyone and said gently: "Good morning."
He walked to the elevator and said to them: "Won't you come in?"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's expressions became a little nervous. They looked at each other and for a moment they didn't know how to answer his words.
Some people who had just arrived at the gate did not dare to go inside when they saw this posture. Some squatted down and tied shoelaces on their leather shoes, some pretended to fall, and some simply tied something with them.
I walked away without buying anything, and I just didn't dare to go in.
Just at this embarrassing moment, another elevator came down, and everyone rushed in without saying a word. Those who didn't catch up naturally looked melancholy, but even the people in the elevator looked melancholy because the elevator was overloaded.
Already.
Who will leave and who will stay has become the biggest problem today.
The piercing siren echoed in the hall. Someone in the elevator finally couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Hey, you were the last one to come up. You should get down."
"You're so fat, you can get two more people down there." A certain man said angrily.
"What do you mean by that?!" a certain woman said sternly.
There was a strong odor between men and women. Some well-intentioned people tried to persuade them, but they were scolded by them for being hypocritical. At this time, although Xia Haitong and Ye Chengzhi were in another elevator, their scolding could still be heard clearly.
Xia Haitong whispered to Ye Chengzhi: "Chengzhi, let's go up first."
Ye Chengzhi nodded and released the button to open the door. Only after they got up did someone in the elevator next to him agree to exit and wait for the next elevator.
top layer.
"No, how is this possible?!"
"How is it impossible? All this was spread among the Ye family yesterday, and we were the last to know about it!"
Two office assistants were discussing rumors in the tea room while making coffee. Just as they were discussing, a magnetic voice suddenly interrupted their conversation.
"What are you talking about?"
They were stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Ye Chengxuan in embarrassment, shaking their heads and waving their hands, saying it was nothing, nothing.
As they talked, they each returned to their desks. Just when Ye Chengxuan wanted to return to his office, he saw Ye Chengzhi and Xia Haitong.
As soon as Xia Haitong saw Ye Chengxuan, his expression immediately turned gloomy, but Ye Chengxuan seemed to turn a blind eye to this and greeted her with a slight smile.
"Secretary Xia, good morning."
"morning."
Xia Haitong responded coldly and immediately returned to his desk. Ye Chengzhi and Ye Chengxuan also returned to their offices after saying hello.
Although the news from the top floor spread slowly, the rumor has now penetrated here. Because she is on the same floor as Xia Haitong, everyone is dodging her. Xia Haitong wanted to ask them the reason, but the words came to her lips.
, but they didn’t dare to ask. And how could they not know about these abnormalities in the office?
Ye Chengzhi's office.
Ye Chengzhi put down the document in his hand, with determination in his eyes.
Since yesterday, he had vaguely felt that there was some commotion in the company. At first, he didn't pay much attention to it, but now, he is very concerned about it.
Ye Chengzhi picked up the phone and dialed the internal number.
"Manager Zhou, come to my office."
After a while.
"Mr. Ye, do you have anything to do with me?" Manager Zhou came to Ye Chengzhi and asked cautiously.
Ye Chengzhi nodded: "I have something to ask you." He raised his hand, "Sit down and talk slowly."
So under Ye Chengzhi's inquiry, Manager Zhou told Ye Chengzhi those rumors in detail. He said that these rumors have become more and more outrageous. Some people say that Xia Haitong has a gang background, so he can defeat Long Sansheng.
Such a character has also been dealt with. Some people say that she stayed with Ye Chengzhi for another purpose.
Ye Chengzhi asked Manager Zhou to go out to work first, and then he continued working. It was not until lunch time that he asked Xia Haitong to come in and arrange lunch for him as usual.
"Chengzhi, can we have bamboo rice today?"
Xia Haitong's expression was pretty good, but Ye Chengzhi still noticed something strange.
"Xiaotong, let's go out to eat today."
Xia Haitong was slightly startled, then nodded and asked, "Which restaurant should we go to?"
"The Wizard of Oz."
Xia Haitong was wondering, why did Ye Chengzhi go all the way to the Wizard of Oz for lunch? It was quite a distance from the company!
While she was thinking, she and Ye Chengzhi walked out of the office, and then repeated the scenes this morning.
As soon as the elevator door opens and she is found, those waiting for the elevator dare not go in. This is the case at every level.
Xia Haitong, who still didn't know what happened, was naturally confused. Ye Chengzhi on the side comforted her not to worry. She smiled and said it didn't matter.
However, this embarrassing situation changed when they came to the hall.
Several women walked into the elevator, and just when Xia Haitong regained hope, a sharp female voice rang out.
"Mr. Ye, this woman is very dangerous, you have to leave her immediately!"
Xia Haitong was stunned for a moment. Before she could react, another woman said: "Yes, Mr. Ye, we really can't bear to see you continue to be deceived by her! Do you know that her whole family is actually drug addicts and drug dealers?"
Yes, who knows if she may have any infectious diseases!"
Just as one finished speaking, the other continued: "And this woman is also connected to the underworld. She is approaching you to take advantage of you. She wants to harm you!"
The women stood pointing at Xia Haitong's nose and kept scolding him. Xia Haitong looked at them in astonishment, his head blank.
At this moment, Ye Chengzhi stood in front of her and said sternly: "Shut up!"
The women looked at Ye Chengzhi in surprise. Mr. Ye, who was known for his good temper, could lose such a temper?
The elevator door opened with a ding, and Ye Chengzhi took Xia Haitong's hand, telling her to ignore these gossips, and took her into the aventador, who had not yet recovered.
The two of them rarely spoke along the way. It should be said that Xia Haitong was silent from beginning to end, and Ye Chengzhi only said to her not to think too much. It was not until Xia Haitong discovered that Ye Chengzhi was driving towards the suburbs that she
He came back to his senses and asked: "Chengzhi, didn't you say we were going to the Wizard of Oz? Why did you drive the car to the suburbs?"
"I changed my mind temporarily..." Ye Chengzhi paused slightly, "Do you still remember the night we ate farm food?"
Xia Haitong nodded. How could she forget that night?
"I think you were the happiest at that time."
Xia Haitong lowered his eyes and said hesitantly: "Chengzhi, actually I... I have something to say to you."
"No, don't say anything or think about anything now. Just think that we are here to have fun."
Ye Chengzhi's words made Xia Haitong feel warm. She looked at this man as gentle as jade and kept asking herself...
Xia Haitong, Chengzhi treats you so well, why don't you like him?
Ye Chengzhi, such a perfect man, is the Prince Charming in the eyes of many women, and many women are eager to grow old together with him, but among these women, she is not included.
Before, it was rare that she mustered up the courage to explain her thoughts to Ye Chengzhi, but he said that he would wait for her, and as long as she had him in her heart, it was enough. Whenever she was disappointed, the person who comforted her always had the name of Ye Chengzhi.
, he will give her comfort and care, making her feel like a princess, being pampered and loved.
But she was always doing things that hurt him. If there was anyone in the world that made Xia Haitong feel the most guilty, that person would have to be Ye Chengzhi.
"Xiaotong, come down."
Ye Chengzhi's words interrupted Xia Haitong's thinking. He took her hand and came to the Qianmo field.
The sun shines on the earth, covering everything with a warm yellow tone. Wild flowers sway in the fields and autumn leaves flutter in the wind. Xia Haitong looks at this scenery and thinks of his own countryside. Although that place is small and
It's not prosperous, but now she is more eager to return to her quiet countryside than the bustling lights of the city.
It was already two o'clock in the afternoon after the two had lunch. Xia Haitong thought that Ye Chengzhi would rush away, but he was not in a hurry at all, and even wandered around with Xia Haitong. This time, Xia Haitong was anxious and asked him why he didn't go back to the company.
, but the answer from Ye Chengzhi shocked Xia Haitong.
I don't plan to go back today.
His voice was so soft, but Xia Haitong knew that he was not joking.
"If you don't go back, I will go back by myself."
After saying that, Xia Haitong wanted to leave alone, but he held her hand. The broad palm was different from the usual gentleness. In this hand, she could feel the persistence.
She knew why Ye Chengzhi did this, she knew, she knew everything, but did he know that most of those rumors were true, and did he know that she had once thought of taking advantage of his sympathy?
Help her save her sister and parents?
"Let me go."
Xia Haitong struggled, but Ye Chengzhi's grip became tighter and tighter. He pulled her back and hugged her whole body.
"When we first met, I promised you that I would protect you. I have always kept this promise in mind." After a slight pause, he looked at Xia Haitong and said warmly, "Xiaotong, do you allow me to fulfill this promise?"
Xia Haitong shook his head: "Chengzhi, you don't understand what happened. Let me tell you, actually..."
Before she finished speaking, Ye Chengzhi interrupted: "Even if those rumors are true, my feelings at the moment will not change."
For a moment, she didn't know how to refuse Ye Chengzhi's kindness. He seemed to have cut off her retreat, and there was only one way she could choose.
But if she chooses that path, won't it still involve him? Doesn't she owe him enough? How long will it take for her to repay such a debt of gratitude?
Xia Haitong, can you bear to let a good young man waste his time on you like this? You can't be so selfish, you can't!
Just when she made up her mind about what she wanted to say, Ye Chengzhi seemed to have read through her thoughts and interrupted her: "Before I came here, I had already decided to give up the position of president to my eldest brother, regardless of whether my mother agrees or not."
