Zhang Ling heard the word "but", and her solemn expression finally relaxed a little.
She probably knows what Wang Li wants to say?
Wang Li's conflict is understandable. But from her reluctance to give up later, it can be seen that she changed her mind about divorce because of this "but".
The reason is simply that a woman who lives only for herself cannot be a good mother.
She sincerely admired Wang Li for her "but".
I admire Wang Li for choosing to be a good mother.
Because such a choice is far more courageous than those who choose divorce when they encounter conflicts and only know how to escape.
As for whether Wang Li can be strong enough to fight against the evil tendencies in her family for the sake of her children?
Zhang Ling did not see enough confidence in Wang Li.
But no matter what, you can do it as long as you are determined.
The two were silent for a while.
The white and tender skin on Wang Li's arm where a layer of skin was burned off, Zhang Ling now looks a little bloody and scary.
She pointed to the injured area with some heartache and said:
"Wang Li, why don't I take you to the hospital first? Don't let this cause scars on your beautiful skin."
"Injury?" Wang Li seemed to have never noticed that she was injured. After being reminded, she lowered her head and glanced indifferently. There was still no expression of pain on her face, "This injury is not a problem. If compared to..."
She saw Wang Li looking a little sad, bit her lip lightly and did not say any more.
She knew that the pain in her heart was far more intense than that of her body.
Therefore, for Wang Li, the physical pain caused by these injuries is as unnecessary as mosquito bites.
Zhang Ling looked at Wang Li's sad look and wanted to say a few words of comfort.
As she spoke, her cell phone rang.
Wang Li saw Zhang Ling holding the mobile phone and hesitating whether to answer it, and she felt a little regretful and said:
"If you have anything to do, go ahead and do it. I'm fine. Also, thank you Zhang Ling."
"It's okay. After all, we have been classmates for three years." After Zhang Ling finished speaking, she stood up and prepared to leave, but she still had some doubts and turned around and said, "Wang Li, you... where are you going? Why don't I give you a ride first."
"No need." Wang Li also stood up and looked at the alley beside her, "Look, my home is deep in that alley, not a few steps away."
"Is your home here?" Zhang Ling glanced at the houses on both sides of the alley in disbelief.
Wang Li, who often followed Li Xi to various high-end places, thought that even if she did not live in a luxury community, she would live in an ordinary commercial housing community.
Most of this area is an old community, and there are many privately built color steel houses. Most of the low-income floating population in Wuchuan City live in this area temporarily.
Wang Li seemed to be completely awake.
Because after hearing Zhang Ling’s question, she showed a shameful smile and said:
"Sorry to make you laugh. My husband was originally an employee of XX Field, and this is the earliest affiliated community of XX Field."
Note: XX field was originally a state-owned enterprise.
When Zhang Ling heard this, she wanted to subconsciously praise Wang Li for her good fortune and good marriage. Because in the past, if she heard about a marriage between someone's family and an employee of XX Field, she would subconsciously flatter the other party in this way.
But her eyes once again saw Wang Li's skin burned by the ground, and she swallowed the words that came to her lips.
Wang Li saw that Zhang Ling was hesitant to speak, and kindly pointed to the mobile phone in her hand and reminded her:
"Hurry up and answer the phone! Maybe the other party is in an emergency."
"Oh!" Zhang Ling immediately pressed the answer button.
Perhaps Wang Li thought that Zhang Ling had seen her worst side, and her strong self-esteem forced her to want to escape as soon as possible.
So Wang Li signaled to leave quickly when Zhang Ling answered the phone.
To be more precise, escape.
Zhang Ling looked at Wang Li's back and couldn't help but feel a little funny.
Before, I was in a state of being hopeless, but now I care about face and dignity.
After her call was connected, Shangguan Aoxue's voice came.
"Hello, Zhang Ling. I am Shangguan Aoxue, Li Xiang's secretary."
"It's you?" She was a little surprised.
After all, he is Li Xiang's secretary, so it is normal for him to make phone calls for official business.
"Our Mr. Li is currently away from the company due to temporary commitments. He asked me to inform you that the address for today's appointment has been changed to XX Hotel."
Listening to Shangguan Aoxue's arrogant voice, Zhang Ling felt a faint feeling of discomfort in her heart, but she still agreed with gentle words:
"Oh, I understand. So will the appointment time remain unchanged?"
"Yes." Shangguan Aoxue said.
…
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Ling always felt that something was wrong. She wanted to call Li Xiang but her phone was always turned off.
That’s not right!
Li Xiang once promised that he would never turn off his phone for her sake.
Could it be that he is just like what Yan Yuan always said: a man's mouth is a deceitful ghost.
She returned to the car and asked the navigation system to re-plan the driving route...
At this moment.
Li Xiang, who was handling the documents seriously, suddenly felt uneasy. He thought about whether the mobile phone he asked his secretary to charge was turned off.
I agreed to call Zhang Ling after she came to the company.
He looked up and saw that his cell phone had been taken to the rest area by the secretary to charge.
Just when I was about to get up to get my phone, there happened to be a knock on the door.
"Come in!" The voice was steady and loud.
"Mr. Li." Shangguan Aoxue walked in.
Li Xiang said with a smile: "Shangguan Aoxue, help me get the mobile phone from the rest area."
Shangguan Aoxue felt nervous. Fortunately, she came in in time, otherwise it would have been over if Mr. Li found out that she did not turn on the phone and charge it as required.
"Okay!" He walked towards the rest area as he spoke.
When she picked up the phone, she secretly blocked the speaker with her hand and turned it on. However, the phone still made a weak start-up ringtone.
Li Xiang, who was lowering his head to annotate the document, heard the voice. He looked up at Shangguan Aoxue who was coming towards him and asked:
"Did you hear it?"
Shangguan Aoxue suppressed her nervousness and said:
"What?"
"Oh, maybe I heard it wrong." Li Xiang lowered his head and said with some confusion.
Shangguan Aoxue stood in front of his desk, put his cell phone in front of Li Xiang and said deliberately:
"Oh, I remembered. There was a sound."
"What?" Li Xiang looked at Shangguan Aoxue again.
Shangguan Aoxue said with a charming smile:
"I heard that Mr. Li just asked me to go watch a movie together in the evening."
Li Xiang stood up and said at the same time:
"impossible!"
Shangguan Aoxue said with a bit of disappointment in her smile:
"I see how nervous you are. I was joking with you."
"Please ask Secretary Shangguan not to tell such jokes again." Li Xiang said seriously.
"Okay." Shangguan Aoxue said unwillingly.
Why?
You don't have to accept my love for you, but you can't stop me from continuing to love you.
Li Xiang sat back on the chair, picked up his phone and took a look. There was no call or message from Zhang Ling.
This time he put the phone aside with some peace of mind and said:
"By the way, what do you want from me?"
"Mr. Li, I'm here to ask for leave."
"Ask for leave? Shangguan Aoxue, I have told you a long time ago that you can lower your status here and continue to be a secretary with me, but you will never be a formal employee of my company."
Although these were facts, she couldn't help but feel needle-pricking in her heart after listening to them.
Although she decided to pursue Li Xiang for the sake of her family, the two of them had been together for so long, and her heart gradually began to fall in love with Li Xiang.
I wonder what woman can bear the person she loves being so indifferent to her?
"But..." She wanted to defend herself.
She can stay here all because of him, Li Xiang!
It is said that a stone can be used to cover up the heat after sitting on it for three years, but I, Shangguan Aoxue, have been in front of you for so long, and you, Li Xiang, have not felt my sincerity?
Li Xiang interrupted ruthlessly: "There is no but. So you don't need my approval whether you want to go or stay. Okay, you can go out. I still have a few important documents to deal with."
Shangguan Aoxue watched Li Want to finish speaking before lowering his head and starting to work seriously.
Don’t I, Shangguan Aoxue, deserve a few more glances from you?
Even if I look at you a few more times with your cold eyes, I will be satisfied.
Li Xi described to her the affectionate look in Li Xiang's eyes at Zhang Ling.
It felt like even if an outsider saw them looking at each other, it would instantly bring them back to their teenage years, with each other's eyes filled with a youthful and clear aura.
The breath is like a strong feeling of first love. It feels magical, like walking through the desert with hunger and thirst, and being lucky enough to see a spring oasis, which instantly makes you feel the beauty of the world.
After Shangguan Aoxue heard this, she fantasized countless times that Li Xiang could look at her like this.
At this moment, her feelings for Zhang Ling had reached the extreme.
She thought of Li Xi's earnest encouragement to her last night.
Li Xi is right!
Love does not come by waiting, because waiting will make people suffer endless loneliness and suffering;
Nor is it something you ask for, because asking for love will make your love pitiful and humble;
It's not forced, because forced love is never valuable.
Therefore, true love has always been about mutual joy and uncontrollable love.
As long as Zhang Ling, who hinders their true love, is completely driven away, then only Shangguan Aoxue will be left by Li Xiang's side. When the time comes, He Chou and Li Xiang will not be in love for a long time.
Shangguan Aoxue thought of this, raised her hand and glanced at the time, put on a cheerful smile, turned around and said to herself:
"It's time to go to your appointment."
What Li Xi said is even more correct!
Women are naturally jealous and suspicious.
As long as these two points are taken advantage of, Zhang Ling will definitely leave Li Xiang.
Li Xiang heard the sound of the door closing, and when he raised his head, he could no longer see Shangguan Aoxue.
He shook his head with some helplessness, picked up the phone again and took a look, but there was still no call or message from Zhang Ling.
"That's not right! Calculating the time, Zhang Ling should have arrived early."
He originally wanted to take the initiative to call and ask Zhang Ling.
He was a little hesitant when he opened the dialing page, and because of this momentary hesitation, Chen Jian's caller ID popped up on the screen.
"Li Xiang, I heard that Dr. Zhang took the initiative to come to our company to discuss cooperation?"
Listening to the tone of his voice, it felt like he was inciting an enemy to accuse him.
"how do you know?"
He had no intention of telling Chen Jian about this matter. He also specifically asked people who knew about it not to disclose it.
He knew that Chen Jian would find out sooner or later. But he didn't expect that he would find out so quickly.
"Don't worry about how I know. I'm just asking you why you didn't tell me about such a big thing in advance? After all, I am also the second largest shareholder of our company. I have the right to know every decision you make."
Chen Jian wanted to use this identity to remind Li Xiang that the company did not belong to him alone.
"Oh, don't you already know this?"
The office door was violently opened.
Li Xiang followed the sound and saw that Chen Jian had walked in angrily from the door.
Before he could ask why Chen Jian came back?
But Chen Jian had already rushed to Li Xiang and patted the table:
"Li Xiang, you've gone too far! Why didn't you inform me in advance about such a big thing? I don't agree with this."
Li Xiang muttered to himself that it would be okay even if you, Chen Jian, disagreed.
He just needs to do what he really wants to do.
Cooperating with Zhang Ling's group company is Zhenli Xiang's strategic idea. The main purpose is to allow Zhihua Technology to develop in a diversified manner so as not to be choked by partners like Chengde Real Estate.
Speaking of which, he really admired Zhen Li Xiang's super prediction ability.
At the beginning, he told Zhen Li Xiang that Chen Jian's initiative to seek cooperation with Zhang Ling failed.
He was also a little worried that he would be reprimanded if he did not complete Zhen Li Xiang's work tasks.
But Li Xiang just smiled calmly and said:
"Don't worry! It won't be long before Zhang Ling comes to you for cooperation."
"You don't blame me?" Li Xiang asked.
"Why do you blame me? I know it was Chen Jian's decision. That guy always does things too emotionally."
At that time, Li Xiang was confused and heard a different emotional tone from these words.
There is a bit of deep love and deep hatred.
He looked at Chen Jian in front of him and seemed to have a slight understanding of why Zhen Li Xiang said those words.
He said calmly like Li Xiang:
"It's useless to disagree! Let's not mention that this matter was approved by the overwhelming majority of shareholders. Even I, Li Xiang, have the right to ignore your disagreement."
Chen Jian saw that Li Xiang could not be persuaded by his toughness, so he implemented a soft policy.
I saw Chen Jian restraining his anger towards Li Xiang, putting on a kind smile, standing next to Li Xiang, putting their arms around each other and saying:
"Li Xiang, my brother is doing this for you. Since ancient times, beauties have always been troublesome. You have already broken up. Why are you so stupid that you want to cooperate? I won't talk about other examples. Look at me being raped by a woman..."
Maybe Chen Jian has told the story of being hurt by women too many times recently.
So much so that Li Xiang was not only unable to empathize with him, but also felt a little irresistibly sleepy when he heard it again.
He yawned in front of Chen Jian and said with tears in his blurred eyes:
"Yeah, I know! But you should know that my decision is also for work. I guarantee that it has nothing to do with what you are worried about."
"Work?" Chen Jian was still doubtful.
He then parroted the strategic thoughts that Zhen Li wanted to say.
Because Li Xiang said that Chen Jian himself is very shrewd besides being too emotional.
Unexpectedly, what Li Xiang said was true, and Chen Jian immediately became quiet after hearing his story.
Chen Jian pondered for a while and said: "Okay. However, I must be present to supervise this negotiation."
"Yes. But you will only have the right to speak and not decide." Li Xiang said firmly.
"good."
Chen Jian thought that Zhihua Technology's current scale was all due to Li Xiang's correct decisions. Therefore, he still trusted Li Xiang's keen judgment.
After finally appeasing Chen Jian, Li Xiang found that it was already past the agreed time, and asked in confusion:
"Did you see Zhang Ling coming when you came to the company?"
Chen Jian did not answer Li Xiang's words, but said with a bit of contempt:
"Look. Why did I tell you earlier that this female doctor, Zhang Ling, is playing tricks on you? It's enough to play tricks on you emotionally. Now she wants to play tricks on you at work. This woman is really hateful!"
