Lei Yan and Xiao Muyou were the only ones left in the ward again. The two of them had their own concerns, but no one exposed them. They were chatting as usual.
At around nine o'clock, when the nurse came to check the room, the two of them turned off the lights and went to sleep.
In the darkness, Xiao Muyou leaned in Lei Yan's arms and spoke softly.
"Ayan, after you are discharged from the hospital, let's go on a trip. You and I haven't traveled alone yet."
Xiao Muyou thought about the past few times, as if there were always some ignorant light bulbs around him.
After Lei Yan heard this, he agreed without thinking too much.
"Okay, then have you decided where to go?"
Although he said he wanted to undergo brain surgery as soon as possible, the operation still needs to wait until his body recovers. I just asked Fu Juichen, and it would take a month at the earliest.
And he will be discharged from the hospital in about two or three days. After a few days of rest, he should be able to spend half a month with Xiao Muyou.
"What about you, is there anywhere you want to go? But it's best to be in China, otherwise the journey will be too long and you'll be too tired."
Considering Lei Yan's health, Xiao Muyou gave a suggestion.
At this moment, Xiao Muyou's cell phone rang. She looked at it and saw that it was Gu Li's call. Thinking about the time in England, she picked it up.
"Hey, Brother Gu Li, you also said that I didn't check the time when I called. It's night in China now."
As soon as the call was connected, Xiao Muyou complained first. If it weren't for the two parties to discuss cooperation, she would not have wanted to answer the call at all.
Gu Li on the other end of the phone was stunned for a moment, then looked at the time and said.
"Miss Xiao, are you living the life of an elderly person? It's probably not even ten o'clock at your place now. Why are you going to bed so early?"
"Who said young people can't go to bed early? Early to bed and early to rise are good for good health. Don't you know? Tell me, what's the matter?"
It was impossible for Gu Li to make an international phone call to reminisce about old times, it must be for something.
After hearing Xiao Muyou's inquiry, Gu Li remembered the purpose of his call and said.
"I received an email from your company, what's going on? Didn't I agree that you would lead the team to negotiate in person, why did you change the person? Miss Youyou, you can't just walk away after taking advantage of it. The most important thing for both parties to cooperate is sincerity.
, you sent a vice president over, are you looking down on our Emmons Publishing House?"
That's right, Gu Li just arrived at the company and saw the email from Yaohua Cultural and Creative Industries, which contained the specific itinerary and accompanying personnel for this negotiation. He didn't see Xiao Muyou's name in it. No, he called immediately.
The call came.
When Xiao Muyou heard this, she didn't expect that Gu Li would have such a big reaction just because she was not in the entourage list.
However, Xiao Muyou also knew that what she did this time was indeed inappropriate. Normally, she should be personally responsible for such a large project. In fact, when she made her decision at the company meeting during the day, everyone was very confused.
But what Xiao Muyou cares more about is Lei Yan than his career. The cooperation with Emmons Publishing House cannot be negotiated in a day or two. He may often travel to the UK, which Xiao Muyou cannot weigh.
.
Xiao Muyou sat up from the bed and was about to get out of bed to make a call outside, but was pulled back by Lei Yan. Apparently, Lei Yan had heard what was said on the phone.
Xiao Muyou glanced at Lei Yan, and finally could only sit on the bed and speak to Gu Li on the other end of the phone.
"Brother Gu Li, I have other matters that need to be dealt with temporarily. It's just that I can't come with the team this time. But please rest assured that Yaohua Cultural and Creative Industries is discussing cooperation with full sincerity."
"What is it? It's more important than our cooperation case, Mu You, you can't fool me."
While Gu Li was talking, Lei Yan pulled Xiao Muyou's hand and said softly.
"Let's go to England for a holiday."
Xiao Muyou was stunned. Obviously, Lei Yan didn't want her to have this incident affect her work, but now Xiao Muyou just wanted to accompany Lei Yan.
Lei Yan could obviously feel Xiao Muyou's hesitation, so he said softly again.
"I want to visit the UK. I lived there for a few years when I was a student, but I haven't been there for seven or eight years."
Seeing Lei Yan's insistence, Xiao Muyou frowned. Gu Li on the other end of the phone happened to see Xiao Muyou not responding, so he yelled on the phone.
"Hey, Xiao Muyou, are you listening to me? Let me tell you, if you don't come this time, let's forget about our cooperation. There is no sincerity at all."
"Okay, why don't you let me come over? Brother Gu Li, I found that you are even more rogue than before."
Xiao Muyou compromised. After all, Yaohua Cultural and Creative Group had worked hard for so long. If Gu Li really lost his temper and caused trouble in the cooperation, it would really be more of a loss than a gain.
After Gu Li heard this, he snorted arrogantly.
"Xiao Muyou, we are evenly matched. This is not what you said when you asked me for help in order to win the bidding case. Okay, since you agreed to come together, I will pretend that nothing has happened. This cooperation,
I will definitely try my best to facilitate it, but you can’t go back on your promise to help me before.”
Gu Li reminded, Xiao Muyou nodded over the phone.
"Don't worry, when have I ever broken a promise?"
"Huh, really? Do you want me to remind you?"
Gu Li's cold snort came from the phone. Xiao Muyou was stunned, smiled awkwardly, and said.
"Don't worry, Yaohua Cultural and Creative Industries has prepared all the materials. You will definitely like this gift."
"That's good, okay, I won't disturb your rest. By the way, is there a man around you, hahaha..."
Apparently, the voice of Lei Yan just now reached Gu Li's ears through the mobile phone, and he heard him laughing wildly and hanging up the phone, leaving Xiao Muyou speechless.
But now was not the time to think about this. She put away her phone. Xiao Muyou sat upright and looked at Lei Yan aside. Just as she was about to speak, Lei Yan interrupted her.
"Mu You, do you know what I like most about you?"
When Lei Yan suddenly said this, Xiao Muyou was a little confused. Wasn't he going to talk about going to England?
Seeing Xiao Muyou's confused look, Lei Yan smiled slightly and pulled Xiao Muyou to lie down again, with their heads touching each other.
"I like your independence and decisiveness at work. You are what outsiders call a strong woman in the workplace. This is your unique charm. Therefore, I hope you will keep it up and don't hesitate for anything."
Hearing this, Xiao Muyou probably understood, but she had her own considerations. She looked sideways at Lei Yan and said.
"A Yan, but I want to accompany you now to cooperate with Emmons Publishing House. Yaohua Cultural and Creative Industries has prepared everything it can. The only thing left is for both parties to sit down and discuss in detail. This is a very important matter.
It is a work that consumes time and energy, and as the president of the company, it is impossible to participate from beginning to end."
Xiao Muyou expressed his thoughts, but Lei Yan shook his head.
"But I also know that usually the boss takes the initiative in this kind of work. At least there should be a formal meeting between representatives of both parties, right?"
"But……"
"Shh, listen to me."
Lei Yan put his hand on Xiao Muyou's mouth to prevent her from speaking. Xiao Muyou could only swallow the words back in her stomach.
"Mu You, if I hadn't been hospitalized for appendicitis, who would have known that there was a potentially life-threatening blood clot in my brain. You have been with me for so long, have you ever seen how I look like a patient? I don't have any discomfort, so,
Please treat me as a normal person, okay?"
Xiao Muyou frowned, but Lei Yan didn't stop her from speaking this time.
"But I already know it now. What if something goes wrong with you while we are in England?"
"Isn't there a hospital in the UK? I remember that Hengsheng Hospital also has a partner in the UK, right? Mu You, I don't know what the outcome of my surgery will be, let alone failure, but if it really affects my vision, then
From now on, I will never have the chance to see the great mountains and rivers with you, so this time I will act as if I am willful and accompany me to England. I also want to go back to the place where I went to school."
Speaking of this, Lei Yan's thoughts gradually drifted away.
In addition to living in the UK during his college years, he and his family actually lived in the UK for several years when he was a child. However, because of his grandfather's death, his father had to go back to take on the family's responsibilities, and this was also the direction of their family.
The beginning of family ruin.
Many memories from his childhood have been forgotten, and he doesn't know whether it was too many years in the past or the tragedy in his family that made him forget some things, but some scenes are still fresh in his memory.
Lei Yan still remembers that they lived in a manor on the outskirts of London. Lei Xin had just been born at that time, and he had just entered kindergarten. The manor was not big, but her mother took care of everything in it.
of.
On weekends, their father would drive them around London in his car. His favorite thing was to sit on a cruise ship on the Thames River and look at the buildings on both sides.
Now think about it, if his family had been living in the UK, maybe he would have become an excellent architect, because his mother was a very good architect, and he had been particularly interested in various buildings since he was a child.
interest.
It's a pity that there is no if. When I returned to country t, everything changed. My mother became a housewife, taking care of him and Lei Xin at home. My father became even busier. Strangers often came back from home in country t. Those
They don't look like good people.
Later, as Lei Yan grew older, he gradually understood what the Lei family was doing, and he was forced by his father to learn various self-defense techniques. When he got older, whenever they went out, there would be many bodyguards around them.
