The meal was so enjoyable that when they were almost finished, Feng Beichen felt that time seemed to pass too fast.
"It seems that you are very satisfied with today's meal. Come here to eat again next time. The chef here will change new dishes every once in a while."
Looking at the almost bottomless plates on the dining table, Xiao Siluo wiped his mouth and said.
When Feng Beichen heard this, he thought it was an agreement between him and Xiao Siluo, and of course he happily agreed.
"Of course, but I'll pay for it next time."
Feng Beichen said cheerfully, Xiao Siluo nodded, and then the two of them left the restaurant.
At this time, at Yuexin Mingdi, Xiao Yihe sat in the apartment building for a long time before leaving after finishing the phone call with Xiao Siluo. However, he did not leave the community, but went to an apartment building next door.
On the sixth floor of Building 6, Xiao Yihe got out of the elevator and had been walking in the corridor for several minutes. He looked at the door of No. 608 not far away, but he didn't dare to approach it.
After an unknown amount of time, Xiao Yihe punched the wall next to him and cursed.
"Xiao Yihe, are you sick? Haven't you learned from what happened back then?"
After saying that, Xiao Yihe walked towards the elevator entrance. At this moment, another elevator door opened, Huo Lan walked out, and she happened to collide with Xiao Yihe head-on.
"It's you?"
Huo Lan was a little surprised, but after thinking about it, it seemed that there was no need to be surprised. With the ability of the man in front of him in Kyoto, it would be easy to find where she lived.
Huo Lan put away the surprise on her face, carried her things and passed Xiao Yihe, walking straight towards Room 608, without any intention of talking to Xiao Yihe.
Being ignored by a woman, Xiao Yihe felt that his self-esteem had been insulted. He was already angry, but now he became even more angry. He chased after her, pushed Huo Lan into the corner, grabbed her neck and growled.
"Why did you come back? Didn't you say you wouldn't come back? Why did you show up again? Woman, are you just going to keep your word?"
Xiao Yihe thought of his pleading and humiliation, and now everything turned into anger in his heart, and he wanted to strangle the woman in front of him to death.
Huo Lan was pushed into the corner, her neck was pinched hard by Xiao Yihe. She felt that her whole body was about to be suspended in the air, and her breathing became more and more difficult. She desperately wanted to push Xiao Yihe away, but she was actually a little afraid of this man.
Xiao Yihe used to be a gentleman who made her feel warm, a gentleman who couldn't bear any harm to her, and an elegant young man who wholeheartedly protected and doted on her. But the Xiao Yihe in front of her only made Huo Lan feel angry, cold and angry.
Huo Lan's face turned red because of the difficulty in breathing. Her consciousness gradually blurred before her eyes. Suddenly, her body moved lightly and she slid down the wall.
Her breathing suddenly became smoother, and she felt like rain. She breathed in the fresh air hungrily, while raising her head and looking at the man beside her vigilantly, a trace of complicated and painful emotions flashed in her eyes.
"Xiao Yihe, I'm sorry about what happened back then. It's just that so many years have passed and I don't think you need to hold on to this matter. I came back this time just for work."
Huo Lan endured the pain in her neck and slowly stood up from the ground, but Xiao Yihe didn't show any concern in his eyes. When he saw her standing up, he took a few steps back in disgust.
After hearing Huo Lan's words, Xiao Yihe smiled coldly and said.
"Work? Huo Lan, do you think that if you become the marketing director of Aotian Games, you can still win the technical cooperation of Yaoyuan Group? Don't forget, what I, Xiao Yihe, hate most in my life are people who don't mean what they say, and you
, would be number one on my hate list.”
After saying that, Xiao Yihe was about to walk to the elevator. He was in chaos now. He felt like he was crazy to come here. He should hate this woman and ignore her, but his heart uncontrollably guided him here.
Hearing these heartless words spoken by Xiao Yihe, a hint of sadness flashed across Huo Lan's face. Looking at Xiao Yihe's resolute departure, she shouted hoarsely.
"Xiao Yihe, are you just a person who doesn't distinguish between public and private matters? Both parties have spent a lot of manpower and material resources on this cooperation case. Do you want to cancel the cooperation because of these private matters? Don't let me look down on you."
"Huh, Huo Lan, do you take yourself too seriously? How much is your contempt worth? You can keep your words, but I haven't forgotten what I said to you. Do you need me to remind you?
I really wish I had never met you in my life."
After saying that, Xiao Yihe pressed the elevator button. After the door opened, he walked in without any hesitation.
Turning around, he looked at Huo Lan who was standing not far away, and then waited for the elevator door to close. But at the moment when the elevator door was about to close, the painful look in Huo Lan's eyes hammered Xiao Yihe's heart hard.
.
"Hey, my brother?"
Just when Xiao Yihe came out of the apartment building where Huo Lan lived, Feng Beichen happened to drive Xiao Siluo past the door.
When Feng Beichen heard Xiao Siluo's words, he looked outside the car. Unfortunately, it was too late, so he could only see a slightly defeated figure.
"Get off here or go downstairs to your apartment."
Feng Beichen asked casually when he saw Xiao Siluo still looking outside the car.
"No need, I'd better stay out of my brother's business."
Xiao Siluo didn't want Xiao Yihe and Feng Beichen to meet and save her good brother from thinking wildly.
Feng Beichen listened, nodded, and continued to drive towards the building where Xiao Siluo lived.
"Thank you tonight. I haven't been as relaxed as I am today for a long time."
After parking the car, Feng Beichen opened the car door for Xiao Siluo and said before Xiao Siluo walked into the building.
Xiao Siluo smiled again and replied.
"Feng Beichen, if you treat me as a friend, don't be so polite all the time. I'm going upstairs. Please be careful on the way. Goodbye."
After saying that, Xiao Siluo walked into the building. Feng Beichen kept watching the lights in the building go out, then got in the car, and then returned the same way, only in the building where he met Xiao Siluo's brother just now.
The car slowed down at the door, but the figure from behind was not seen.
Here, Xiao Siluo went upstairs, thinking about calling Xiao Yihe because she remembered that there were no friends they knew in common in this community, but after thinking about it, she gave up.
Huo Lan, after returning to the apartment, collapsed on the sofa exhausted, her neck still hurt, and she even felt some pain when talking.
Thinking of what Xiao Yihe said just now, Huo Lan frowned, found her cell phone, and called Tu Junye. The call was quickly picked up.
"Hey, Xiaolan, call me so late. Is something okay?"
Tu Junye's gentle voice came from the other side of the phone. Huo Lan was silent for a moment and then spoke.
"Jun Ye, you have seen what happened at Yaoyuan Group today. Do you still insist on letting me take charge of this project?"
Huo Lan's voice was a little hoarse, and Tu Junye immediately sensed that something was wrong. He didn't care about the company's projects at all, so he asked worriedly.
"Xiaolan, what's wrong with you? Are you sick? Why is your voice so hoarse?"
Huo Lan then realized that his voice was wrong and explained immediately.
"It's okay. I choked on the water I drank just now. I think you should let someone else take charge of this project. I have just come back. There are still many things I need to get familiar with, and I don't know much about this project."
"Xiaolan, what are you afraid of? Is it related to Mr. Xiao? In fact, I have been wanting to ask you today, do you and Mr. Xiao know each other? I remember you said before that you were in a relationship, and that man,
Is it Mr. Xiao?"
Tu Junye met Huo Lan at a dinner party three years ago. At that time, Huo Lan was the most dazzling star in the crowd. Later, when he found out that Huo Lan was single, he began a crazy pursuit, but Huo Lan refused several times.
, so that they later became very good friends and partners.
Tu Junye also learned that Huo Lan had been in a relationship once after she was drunk, but they finally broke up due to some reasons. At that time, out of respect, Tu Junye did not ask too much, but today in the meeting between Mr. Xiao and Huo Lan of Yaoyuan Group
The reaction was so obvious that Tu Junye couldn't help but think of it.
Facing Tu Junye's question, Huo Lan was silent for a long time and didn't know how to answer.
Tu Junye saw Huo Lan didn't speak for a long time, and finally sighed softly.
"Forget it, I won't ask if you don't want to say it, but I said that this project will be handed over to you in the future. How can I take back what I said? Although I don't know what happened between you and Mr. Xiao, but
I believe that Mr. Xiao is not a person who does not distinguish between public and private affairs, otherwise, he would not be able to explain to the shareholders of the group."
Tu Junye said this because he didn't understand Xiao Yihe too well, or he didn't understand the composition of the board of directors of Yaoyuan Group too much.
Even if Xiao Yihe terminates the project publicly now, no one will stand up to oppose it, and with Xiao Yihe's ability, he will definitely find another project to make up for the losses caused to the company.
Huo Lan heard this, but did not agree. She wanted to persuade Tu Junye.
"Jun Ye, you are considering this matter. I don't want my personal relationship to affect the interests of the entire company, and I don't want you to embarrass yourself in front of shareholders."
"Xiaolan, don't worry, I've thought about this very clearly, so you can take over this project with peace of mind."
Tu Junye on the other side of the phone also insisted on his decision. He was actually giving Huo Lan a chance to establish his authority in the company.
After that, the two people talked without any results. Huo Lan hung up the phone and sighed. She was not as optimistic as Tu Junye.
After not seeing each other for many years, Xiao Yihe is no longer the person she knew back then. He is cold, distant, and even a little ruthless. It is impossible to figure out what is going on in this man's heart.
