Aiye returned to Danxi City, rested for two days, and then embarked on a tour of out-of-town companies.
It is far away from Danxi City, so Master Jiang and Miao Dong accompanied us and received good care in terms of travel and daily diet.
In addition to being a driver, Master Jiang is also responsible for three meals a day. When he stays up late, he will also carefully prepare late-night snacks.
Miao Dong became an old woman, nagging in her ears all day long...
"Go to bed early."
"eat more."
"We just rest on weekends, walk and go shopping."
"Look at your face. Come on, I'll put on your face the new clay I bought."
Ai Ye was forced to lie on the bed and glanced sideways at her dough, "Have you changed the brand? Isn't it expensive?"
Miao Dong chuckled and said, "The expenses included in the business trip expenses will be counted as your family's expenses."
The so-called funds refer to the salary that Yu Hang specially granted to Master Jiang and Miao Dong, just to improve the quality of Ai Ye's diet and daily life.
Ai Ye would not take the initiative to use the money for the flight, but he bribed the people around her so that she had to use it.
Yu Hang was right. Master Jiang and Miao Dong were employees of the company and were at his disposal. They had to obey his orders. Ai Ye didn't want them to be in a dilemma, so he could only reluctantly accept his efforts.
The aunt at home called and Aiye asked, "How is my mother's health?"
"Every time things get worse, my energy becomes worse every day."
“Are three meals a day normal?”
"It's okay, I didn't eat much."
Ai Ye hummed, "Has Yu Hang ever gone back?"
"I came back once..." Auntie was a little hesitant in speaking, "I heard a few words, which seemed to be for..."
"About divorce?" Ai Ye could vaguely guess that Lan Yunge should have mentioned it to Yu Hang. What was Yu Hang's attitude?
"You know?"
"Did they quarrel?"
"Young Master will not let Madam interfere in your affairs."
"Oh." Sure enough, Yu Hang was unwilling to divorce.
Ai Ye had expected this result.
After hanging up the phone, she turned around and saw Miao Dong standing outside the door. She must have heard it.
Ai Ye shrugged, "You know, I will divorce him sooner or later. Using his money now will only make me uneasy, so we can just don't use it in the future, okay?"
"Gu Aiye, why can't you give him a chance?"
"He loves Yu Xingchen."
"Maybe before." Miao Dong walked to the window, looked up at the vast night sky above his head, and smiled with self-pity, "If any man would treat me like this silently behind my back, I would marry him even if the world ends tomorrow!
"
She is an ordinary woman, she has been moved, she has had a momentary impulse... try being with him.
accept him.
Give your heart to him.
But what will happen next?
Ai Ye shook his head, "I'm not as brave as you."
Miao Dong's eyes sparkled with tears, "Then learn from me and be brave!" She clenched her fists and thought of her love with that man. She had been brave so many times and never regretted it, even though the ending was tragic.
Ai Ye walked out of the room, stopped at the door, sighed and said, "Miao Dong, I have a disgraceful past with Qin Chong."
Miao Dong's eyes widened!
"So Yu Hang and I will not have a good outcome. Even if we get together, in the future, either he will be hurt or I will be hurt. The deeper the love, the more painful it will be."
"I have been in pain for so many years, and I don't want to feel pain anymore, and I don't want him to suffer with me."
"These words are only spoken to you. Please keep them secret."
After Ai Ye finished speaking, he went back to his room to sleep.
The next day.
Miao Dong got up early and made breakfast.
Ai Ye looked at the porridge and side dishes on the table. They were not the Western-style Chinese snacks that Master Jiang carefully selected from the restaurant every day.
"I'll try not to let you owe him too much, but I also have my own job. If you guys get into trouble, I'll do what I should do." Miao Dong pursed her lips and filled her with a bowl of porridge.
Aiye took it with a smile, "Thank you."
"Last night you treated me as a true friend for the first time. I'm very happy to be able to share your secret with you."
"I have already treated you as a friend, okay!"
"really!"
"Yes! I'm just not good at expressing my feelings. In fact, I feel good for you, but it's a pity that you can't feel it. I'm so sad." Ai Ye looked like wiping tears, blinking his eyes in a cute way, and Miao Dong pouted.
Knocked off her hand and said, "Stop pretending to be cute in front of me, I won't do that!"
Summer passes and autumn comes.
As the Mid-Autumn Festival was approaching, Ai Ye's days of inspecting the factory finally came to an end. She sent the completion report to the head office and received an invitation from the board of directors the next day to attend the Mid-Autumn Festival feast of the head office.
The location is in the top garden of Yidu Dynasty International Hotel.
Miao Dong arrived in Rongcheng one day earlier, so she didn't know about Ai Ye returning alone, and Yu Hang naturally didn't receive the news.
Master Jiang and his family came to Rongcheng for a self-driving trip, and Ai Ye took a ride along the way.
After agreeing on a return time, Ai Ye went to the feast venue alone.
The dreamlike garden is divided into two parts: a banquet hall and a lounge.
There were only two or three people in the lounge, but there were many people in the banquet hall, most of whom were middle-level cadres of the company or above. The protagonists were directors she had never seen before. Each one was of great status and taste, and most were in their fifties or sixties.
, accumulated decades of experience, with a graceful and false smile on every face.
Yu Hang is not here.
He was definitely invited.
If you don't come to participate, is it not giving the directors face, or is it because you are too busy?
Intuitively, Ai Ye thought that it was related to the incident with Director Yuan last time. He was not a man who gave in and forgive others so easily.
Stepping on the white marble steps with gold teeth, Ai Ye behaved a little reservedly. She was still wearing a rented dress and couldn't blend in with the people around her at all.
"Mr. Zou is here!" someone said in surprise.
"Mr. Zou is a very busy man, why do you have time to come here?" The person who stepped forward to greet him was a highly respected director.
Zou Rong smiled brightly and said, "Hello uncles, it's Tianzong Group's celebration party. No matter how busy I am, I still have to take time to have a glass of wine."
Picking up the champagne handed by the waiter, he politely dealt with everyone.
The background behind him is a golden pile of champagne, which reflects the crystal lamp and diffuses a bright and beautiful golden light.
She noticed carefully that his tie was actually pink.
He smiled elegantly, scanning the venue with a smile, his eyes fixed on her for a second, and then moved away.
His eyes were full of fragrant clothes and temples, and he was not out of place among them.
As for Ai Ye, she could only retreat to the lounge sadly, holding a cup of assorted ice cream, which was rich and fragrant, but had a hint of bitterness in her mouth.
"congratulations!"
Zou Rong sat down next to her, with his legs naturally crossed.
Ai Ye was in a daze, "Ah? Congratulations to me...what?"
"Congratulations on your official promotion to the financial director of East China. You don't know, right?"
"oh, I know."
It was a few days ahead of schedule, which was the result of her hard work.
She didn't think there was anything surprising.
The board of directors' decisions are always ruthless. If you can increase their profits, they will treat you differently.
Just like today, she is the biggest contributor, but they are the ones raising glasses to celebrate.
"Are you going to come back to work at the headquarters in the future?" Zou Rong asked.
"Not necessarily. For the time being, we are still in Danxi City, where there is a regional group headquarters. After the preliminary work is completed, we will still plan the establishment of the group headquarters in the future."
"oh……"
He looked slightly startled.
"Is Zou Tang okay?" Ai Ye asked.
He nodded, "Not bad."
Ai Ye opened his mouth to ask how his girlfriend was doing. The next moment, Yu Xingchen and Pingting appeared in front of them, "Zou Rong, you are here! I have been looking for you for a long time!"
Turning his head, he finally saw Ai Ye.
"Are you there too?" She looked cold, but she still nodded despite Zou Rongzai's concern.
Ai Ye stood up and returned the greeting, "You guys talk."
When she came outside, several kind-looking directors came over to chat with her, saying nothing more than, "Young man, do your best," "You have a bright future," and so on.
"Mr. Yu!"
"It's really Mr. Yu."
"Mr. Yu doesn't have a night flight, why are you here at this time?"
"I do not know."
The small sounds in the crowd were gradually covered by a "Mr. Yu" who was overjoyed.
Yu Hang's golden shirt perfectly corresponded to the word "golden autumn" and was very harmonious with the golden atmosphere of the venue.
Rich gold.
Dressed so ostentatiously and looking so handsome, Ai Ye couldn't help but look at him twice. His eyes accurately caught her whereabouts. He entered from the venue, ignoring the eyes around him and the distinguished directors.
He walked directly towards her, leaned down and kissed her on the cheek. Amidst the noises and sighs, Ai Ye's mind was filled with his golden smile, and her ears were buzzing like insects. She had no time at all.
Not caring about anything else, she stared at him stupidly, "You...you..."
"Why didn't you say anything when you came back?" In his eyes, there was only her at this moment. She was staring at him with a red face at a loss, and the shadow in her eyes was only him.
Ai Ye whispered, "I thought Master Jiang would tell you." Wherever there was a gap, she wanted to hide in it.
"He told me you were back, but he didn't tell me you were coming here."
"Come here for a formality. It will be over in a moment. Why are you here too?" Isn't it for her? Ai Ye didn't dare to ask.
"Did any of them embarrass you?" Yu Hang's sharp gaze swept across the group of directors...
Ai Ye tugged at the corner of his clothes, "Don't be like this, they didn't make things difficult for me, and I didn't do anything inappropriate, except just now..." With that kiss from him, I'm afraid, she will be put on the shackles of beauty in troubled times again.
Hat.
"Brother!" Yu Xingchen walked out of the lounge with Zou Rong on his arm.
Yu Hang squinted his eyes, stared at Zou Rong's pink tie, and moved his lip line downwards.
Ai Ye saw it and unconsciously moved a few steps away from Yu Hang.
Is it because she deliberately kept a distance from him because she saw Zou Rong? Yu Hang was unhappy, stretched out his iron arms to hook her back, and locked her to his side. Ai Ye quietly struggled a few times, and the strength of his hold almost made her
She fell into his arms, and Ai Ye knew that he was starting to feel unhappy again. She whispered in his ear, "It's not the one I bought."
He looked down at her twinkling eyes, seeming to consider the truth or falsehood of her words.
