I heard the big boss’ question that was full of settling accounts, “It’s been two years, you should give me a reasonable explanation, right?”
Ye Anran's face was all scarred: Mr. Jin, do you want to embarrass me at this time?
Jin Zhan raised his eyebrows and glanced at her, then lowered his face slightly, flipping through the documents on the table calmly, "I flipped through it, and since you came to the company, it seems that you have always been on this day every month.
Ask for leave?"
Well—that’s because this is the day when I have to go to the hospital for a follow-up visit!
However, Ye Anran did not dare to say it. The company had regulations that prohibited employees with long-term illnesses from being employed. If the illness was concealed and not reported, the company had the right to impose penalties or even dismissal.
When she came for the interview that day, Pei Yixuan finally found Jin Xue's back door for her so that Ye Anran wouldn't be caught by the big boss.
She just hopes to stay in the Jin family forever. All her basic necessities, food, housing and transportation here depend on the salary paid by the Jin family!
She smiled coquettishly and said, "Mr. Jin, as long as I take half a day off today, I won't have to worry about it next month..."
The man behind the desk suddenly pushed away his seat and stood up. He gracefully walked around the desk towards her and stood in front of her, barely a foot away. His deep and narrow black eyes stared at her fair face.
, "Tell me the reason in detail, I want to know."
His burning eyes made her feel uncomfortable, and he blurted out out of nowhere, "Mr. Jin, if you grant me leave, I will promise you -"
Jin Zhan immediately smiled and stretched out his hand. She didn't know how he pulled her. She suddenly fell into a generous embrace. The deep and domineering smell of a mature man dizzy her vision.
, in a daze, she seemed to feel that he kissed her forehead, "Okay."
…
When Ye Anran walked out of the president's office with the leave application form he signed, his steps were still in a daze. A man like Mr. Jin, who is mature, worldly and simple, always has a feeling that you can't understand.
What made Ye Anran most uneasy was that she still had a feeling like a thorn in her back. He looked at her as if she was his prey, just waiting for her to jump off and become a mermaid from then on.
It wasn't until she left the company and got into a taxi that she suddenly realized what had made her suddenly uneasy just now!
Complete defeat! Mr. Jin is too insidious and cunning!
She originally just wanted to say that if he allowed her leave, she would agree to him and carefully consider his proposal the night before. But how did it become that she agreed to his request now?
The night before yesterday, she was working overtime in the finance office. Unexpectedly, Mr. Jin, the company's top decision-maker, was also working overtime.
She was working hard in the finance room when she suddenly received a call from her big boss, "Make me a cup of coffee."
Ye Anran panicked, thinking that the big boss dialed the wrong internal number, so he hurriedly called Miss Zhou, the chief secretary of the general manager's office, but there was no one in the secretary's office!
Thinking that Secretary Zhou had walked away, she wanted to call the other party's mobile phone again - but suddenly a tall and cold figure stood at the door, "Ye Anran, why don't you make the coffee I want?"
She was so scared that she almost lost her soul! She rushed over in a hurry...
I didn’t expect that the high and mighty boss actually knew the name of an unknown person like her!
After being in the Jin family for so long, this was the first time that she had such close contact with the big boss. Ye Anran was flustered and confused. She respectfully sent the coffee to the president's office, and then solemnly wanted to leave.
"You can drink coffee." The man behind the desk ordered without raising his head.
Ye Anran was shocked, "Thank you, CEO, for caring, I'm not sleepy -" Besides, the cup is for the CEO's exclusive use, so it wouldn't be good for her to drink from it, right?
Who would have thought that the big boss raised his head and glanced at her coldly, then stood up and put the coffee into her hand, and squeezed her fingertips with his warm fingertips as if nothing had happened, "Your hands are too cold."
, drink something hot."
Her fingertips trembled, and she almost dropped the cup in her hand, but the big boss tightened his grip on her hands, pressed them against her green fingers, and suddenly said, "I'm very interested in you, let's consider doing it."
My woman."
Perhaps because he was used to being domineering and strong in a high position for a long time, his tone when he said this was completely confident and almost conceited, without any intention of asking.
Ye Anran was stunned on the spot!
She vaguely heard that the big boss divorced two years ago, and since then he has often been in love with flowers. He also publicly dated a high-class socialite, but they later broke up due to the pair of children his ex-wife left him.
Privately, he had countless girlfriends. Once, Ye Anran saw a smeared-out woman waiting for him downstairs in the company.
Of course, he is the big boss, and no one else can control what kind of woman he wants. However, Ye Anran never imagined that he would covet her!
It's so outrageous! The rabbit doesn't even eat the grass on the edge of its nest! How can he get involved with his subordinates?
"Um - Mr. Jin, although I also like money, I will never be someone else's happy wife -"
She expressed her position righteously, but her delicate fingers were suddenly pinched hard. It hurt!
"What are you thinking about? I'm asking you, do you want to be Mrs. Jin?"
"..." Ye Anran was so frightened that he couldn't say a word for a long time.
Until Jin Zhan reached out and grabbed her sharp chin, with a hint of temptation in his voice, and asked her, "If you don't speak, does that mean you acquiesce?"
It was as if she had just woken up from a dream, and she spoke calmly, "Mr. Jin, you and Pei are old friends, and you may have heard about me -"
But the big boss frowned slightly and interrupted unhappily, "Have you changed your mind and want to accept him?"
"..." Big boss, nothing can escape your notice!
Ye Anran was very embarrassed to find out that Mr. Jin had known about Pei Yixuan's unrequited love for her for a long time. He must also know that they have now become brothers and sisters with different surnames who are dependent on each other. Why should she be secretive?
Biting her lips tightly, she said calmly, "Mr. Jin, I have a hidden disease in my legs. I will never be able to walk like a normal person in this life!"
Aren't their upper class people most concerned with respectability? Even if he really cared about her, he wouldn't marry a woman with disabled legs, would he?
"I know. I don't mind. I have been divorced and have a pair of children to raise. As a second-married man, I have never thought about marrying a woman with good conditions and coming back to be a mother to my children."
"..." After thinking about it for a while, Ye Anran vaguely understood what he meant: He seemed to want to find a defective woman to continue his marriage, to ensure that his children would not be wronged?
…………
Until the taxi took her to the hospital and Pei Yixuan pulled her out of the car, Ye Anran was still thinking about how to get rid of this stepmother's hard work?
Are you kidding me? She has bad legs, but her brain is not bad yet!
She is not lucky enough to be the kind of unruly and willful little daughter who was born with a silver spoon in her mouth, and the young master's hard-working stepmother!
Is that what life is like for people? She has strict and demanding parents-in-law, step-son and step-daughter who regard her as an intruder, plus a romantic husband who is looking for flowers all year round...
This kind of life makes people shudder just thinking about it!
She might as well live a leisurely life alone! Anyway, Jin has generous employee benefits. Even if she never gets married, she can still live well with this salary.
She was brought to the hospital by Pei Yixuan in a daze, and all the examinations were completed...
After leaving the hospital, she habitually spread her hand towards him, "Senior, give me the medicine, I have to go back to work -"
Pei Yixuan looked at her sideways in surprise, "An Ran, are you stupidly happy? Didn't I tell you just now? From today on, you will no longer have to go to the hospital for follow-up consultations! Your leg disease has been cured!
As long as you don't stand and run around for a long time, you can manage your life normally. You don't have to be annoyed by me anymore!"
She was stunned for several seconds before a smile spread across her face, "Really? I won't have to use a wheelchair in the future?"
"It's true. However, the doctor said that at most you can only look like a normal person on the surface, but you should not do excessive exercises. Once you strain the nerve in your leg again, you will really not be able to stand again.
Woke up!"
Ye Anran was so excited that she hugged Pei Yixuan, "Senior, thank you... If you hadn't gone around asking about the doctors who treated me, I wouldn't have been able to stand in front of you like this today..."
Pei Yixuan smiled, pushed her hands away from his neck with one hand, and reached out to hail a taxi with the other hand, "Thank you, I'm finally free! From now on, I don't have to fly from New York to Chicago every month.
…”
The monthly trip that went on smoothly despite rain or shine made him hesitate and hesitate again and again. He didn't even know whether he was entrusted by a loyal person or out of selfish motives, so he stubbornly decided to make the trip every month.
Fly over once and insist on supervising her treatment?
Since when did his heart begin to waver again, like a young boy who has just begun to have a love affair, eagerly looking forward to that day?
Meeting her every month has become a routine and a wonderful expectation for him to open his eyes every day.
However, starting from today, everything he has been used to for the past two years will be completely disrupted. Can this be considered good news for him?
Ye Anran also seemed to be aware of the subtle feelings in Pei Yixuan's heart. In the past two years, it was not just him, but also her who had become accustomed to each other.
In the lonely life in a foreign country, only Pei Yixuan could understand the pain and love in her heart. Every time she wanted to cry when she thought of that person, she would want to tell Pei Yixuan.
Occasionally, she would imitate Jin Xue and call him "Brother Pei", not to ridicule or to be playful, but because in her heart, she felt more than just a simple feeling for him as a schoolgirl towards a senior.
She relies on him with great trust, just like her brother who is unconditional to her, with absolute trust.
Taking a step forward again, she opened her arms emotionally and gently hugged the man in front of her. She couldn't remember exactly which afternoon she saw his startled face, but she remembered his gentle tolerance and pampering.
"Senior, I really like you..."
She didn't say the rest of the words. She knew that he understood, and he had always understood her heart.
He had been on a plane since early in the morning, arrived in Chicago, and rushed to the hospital non-stop. Until this moment, he had not even bothered to drink a drop of water.
Ye Anran was obviously aware of how tired he was from the long journey, and said somewhat guiltily, "Let's go, I'll treat the senior to dinner."
Thinking of the glittering unlimited card that Mr. Jin had forced into his bag, Ye Anran bit his lower lip and said, "Senior has worried so much about me. Today, I invite you to go to the most senior
Dining room."
Pei Yixuan raised his eyebrows and said in surprise, "Your boss, Mr. Jin, is so humane that he gave you a salary increase?"
Ye Anran almost choked and coughed: "Ahem..." Mr. Jin is not only showing off his humanity, he is simply showing off! He actually wants to marry her as Mrs. Jin!
Ye Anran was complaining with a bit of laughter when the mobile phone in her bag rang. It was the number of the general manager's office. Secretary Zhou's voice was as sweet and melodious as an oriole, "Miss Ye, Mr. Jin wants to talk to you."
Then, a rich and magnetic male voice came from the microphone, "Where are you? I'll pick you up and have lunch together."
=
I heard a familiar rich male voice coming from the microphone, "Where are you? I'll pick you up and have lunch together."
Ye Anran suddenly burped: It's too bad, I haven't even started lunch yet, and I already have indigestion!
She glanced at Pei Yixuan beside her with some scruples, walked away a little, and then declined politely, "Mr. Jin, I asked for leave today..."
What she meant was that since she had asked for leave, she would not be under the company's control for the rest of the day.
The man on the phone was silent for a moment and then said, "I know, I'm not calling you as my boss."
Ye Anran's pretty face suddenly became inexplicably hot: "Not as a boss"?! In what capacity was that?
His deep voice suddenly flashed through my mind, "...I'm asking you, do you want to be Mrs. Jin?"
The nerves in her head suddenly became tense, "Mr. Jin, it's not convenient for me right now -"
Another voice came from behind, "Ye Anran, what's wrong? Is Jin Zhan making things difficult for you again? Call me and I'll tell him -"
Ye Anran wanted to refuse his kindness, "No, senior, I -"
Pei Yixuan couldn't help but stepped forward and snatched the phone from her hand, "Hey, let me tell you, old friend, I've come all this way, so why don't you have some humanity and be accommodating-"
Ye Anran suddenly wanted to crawl into the ground and didn't know what Mr. Jin was going to say to his senior?
She looked at Pei Yixuan in front of her uneasily, and when she saw him suddenly looking at her with his eyes widened, she suddenly felt confused, "Senior, that's not the case, I -"
Pei Yixuan had a look of shock and disdain, "Mr. Jin, did I hear you right? You actually want to come to pick me up in person and treat me to lunch? Sigh - I know you so well.
It’s been a long time, this is the first time I’ve been treated with such dignity, maybe there’s something wrong with my hearing?”
Ye Anran's eyes widened in surprise: "Mr. Jin, are you really coming here?"
Pei Yixuan nodded to her gently and whispered in her ear, "Let him do it and save it for you! This guy has made a lot of ill-gotten wealth anyway. You can eat more later, 'Zhou Bapi', okay?"
It's easy to be generous, but there is no such shop in this village..."
Ye Anran: "…………"
Jin Zhan on the other end of the phone also heard everything clearly, and the corner of his mouth twitched uncomfortably: Pei Yixuan clearly meant to tell him, and it was really forbidden to openly speak ill of him in front of his subordinates.
bad friend!
However, he had something to say in front of him today, so he didn't care about his attitude.
Hearing Pei Yixuan report his address on the phone, he asked Pei Yixuan to transfer the call to Ye Anran, "Are you feeling well?"
Ye Anran said quietly, "It's okay——"
Jin Zhan said, "You don't have to go back to the company in the afternoon. I'll go buy some clothes with you."
(⊙o⊙). Mr. Jin, let’s not use monetary policies to win people’s hearts, okay? She is not a little girl anymore, she has enough ability to make herself live a decent life.
However, the big boss will never give anyone a chance to refuse him.
After Jin Zhan finished speaking to himself, he hung up the phone directly, leaving Ye Anran staring at the phone screen melancholy...
Mr. Jin’s distinguished driving seat came slowly and slowly——
Immediately, the door of the black Rolls-Royce opened, and Ye Anran stared blankly at Jin Zhan's tall and tall figure approaching like a god: Some people say that a man is at his peak at forty.
The 37-year-old Jin Zhan is undoubtedly a leader. Money, power, and status have given him an aura of success. Everyone in front of him and behind him embodies a mature and charming atmosphere. Almost everyone in this city.
The most perfect person that a woman dreams of.
How many women came one after another, trying their best to spend a night with him, only hoping to fly up a branch and become a phoenix, marry into a wealthy family, and didn't care at all about becoming the stepmother of his two children.
But why couldn't she learn to be so open-minded? Her husband, who is such a dragon among men, held her hand in such an eye-catching manner at this moment, and said with a warm smile, "Have you been waiting for a long time?"
She couldn't help but want to shrink back, and took two steps back unconsciously, "Mr. Jin, I-can I not have lunch with you-"
(⊙o⊙). She got into trouble again! How could the aloof Mr. Jin accept her rejection?
He grabbed her snow-white catkins with his big hands and pulled her hard into his arms——
Falling into a mature and strong embrace, Ye Anran resisted instinctively, but unexpectedly, when he raised his head, he saw a familiar and long-lost figure!
It's Cheng Zimo!
It turned out to be Cheng Zimo who was deeply engraved in her heart, and who was turning over and over in her memory every night!
