Chen Baosheng looked at the message Zhao Xiner sent asking him if he was not married to Julie. For half a minute, he did not reply. He pressed his hand on the keyboard and hesitated for a long time before typing out three words: No!
The moment you click the send button. His heart suddenly began to boil like a flint thrown into a calm lake.
He knew that the reason why Zhao Xiner went to Hong Kong Island was entirely to avoid her fruitless relationship with him.
Chen Baosheng felt guilty about his feelings for her from the bottom of his heart and blamed himself.
And from the bottom of his heart, he felt that there was a huge gap between him and her in terms of relationship experience, education, family background, personal experience, and social class. He didn't want to delay her future and career because of himself. I don't even want to burden her with this heavy emotion.
While Chen Baosheng was thinking quietly here, Zhao Xiner over there read his words. These three short words made her very sad.
She walked from the computer desk with a bright and clean window to the window of the office. Outside her office window is the endless bustling street scene of Hong Kong Island. In the distance, there are sails in Victoria Harbor, and in the distance, Kowloon Avenue is busy with traffic.
After watching all this in silence, she couldn't help but raise her head and stare in the direction of the deep city.
Through the thin haze of Lingding Ocean, you can indeed see the deep city where Chen Baosheng is from here. Her eyes are staring at the city in the distance, and her heart is churning at this moment.
In her mind, the scenes of working with Chen Baosheng, going on business trips together, and even the two hugging each other on a drunken night were vivid, so sweet, and so heavy.
Since he is not married? Then, doesn't he know his feelings for him? Is he a pig? Why would he do this to himself? What was he thinking? Didn't he know that when she went to Nepal, she was able to follow him back because of him? She couldn't bear to see him standing in the company's management position and unable to achieve results?
Thinking of everything about Chen Baosheng, Zhao Xiner's heart was as sharp as a knife, and her eyes were filled with glittering eyes without realizing it.
After a while, she wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, took a deep breath, then sat in front of the computer and sent a message to Chen Baosheng: "I am going back to Shencheng tonight. Come pick me up at the pass."
When Chen Baosheng saw it, the corner of his mouth twitched. He thought that what should come will always come, and what should be faced must still be faced. Zhao Xiner still knows the news that he and Julie have not entered into marriage.
She must have been furious.
However, looking at her text message, he felt a little uneasy deep in his heart.
He knew that she came back because of him. Maybe she would ask herself, why didn't she stay with her and tell her that she wasn't married to Julie? Also... Chen Baosheng didn't dare to think about it, he was afraid that the flames that had been extinguished in the past would start to flutter and burn.
After thinking about it, Chen Baosheng still replied to her in the message: "I'm really sorry. I have something to do today and I can't pick you up. Please forgive me!"
Looking at Chen Baosheng's refusal.
Zhao Xiner was furious. There was a blush on her pretty face. She clenched her pink fist lightly, then took out the pen on the table and threw it on the table. The table made a crisp sound and attracted the attention of the colleagues at the next table.
"Chen Baosheng, you bastard!"
She turned around, holding her cell phone, and reached the aisle. In the bathroom, she lowered her head, found Chen Baosheng's mobile phone number, and pulled it out.
Chen Baosheng saw it and refused to answer. Bye.
She continued to beat him without mercy.
Chen Baosheng took the call and said over there: "Xin'er, please stop fighting. I know you want to scold me and hate me. But... I can't harm you."
"If I don't listen, I'm going back to Shencheng. Come pick me up."
"Zhao Xiner, listen to me!..."
Zhao Xiner shouted loudly over there: "I won't listen, I won't listen, I just don't want to hear it, anyway you come to pick me up."
Chen Baosheng ignored her and shouted a few words after her.
He said loudly: "Stop shouting! Listen to me."
This time, Zhao Xiner really stopped talking.
Chen Baosheng's tone also softened a lot. He said: "Since I came back from Niboer, in the bottom of my heart, I have actually regarded you as my little sister. I warned myself that I am a married man with children. I can't get carried away by feelings. The mind, let alone one’s impulse, can destroy another person.”
"You are gentle and kind, you are good, and you should have a better love. And as the company goes public, your life will become better and better in the future. Have you ever thought that one day, you can take your boyfriend with you? Traveling around the world together can do a lot of meaningful things. But I can't. I have children to take care of and make money to support my family. Your world can be poetic and romantic, but mine is hard and realistic. So, fundamentally speaking, , we are not people of the same world.”
"As for me, I know that my abilities cannot bring you happiness, nor can I give you the warmth you want. However, they may bring you accusations, ridicule and hurt. Think about it. You and I What can we gain by being together? What will our colleagues and these partners think of us? They will think that I have tricked you, or they may think that I have taken advantage of you. I really don’t want this feeling to be as heavy as a shackle. "
When Chen Baosheng said these words, there was silence on the other end of the phone. Through the noise on the radio waves, he could feel Zhao Xiner's depression.
"Chen Baosheng, hum, you are so selfish. I can see clearly now. You are just afraid of others judging you and saying that you rely on me to be the general manager? Right?! You bastard, you are cowardly! I I don’t want to deal with you anymore! Woohoo.”
Chen Baosheng wanted to argue a few words, but after Zhao Xiner yelled these two sentences, she burst into tears and looked very sad.
Chen Baosheng had no choice but to comfort him: "Okay, okay, Xin'er, don't cry. I can't pick you up today because I'm really busy. From now on, when you come to Shencheng, I won't invite you. When you eat, you are still my little sister, is that okay? Ah, have a good time today and invite a few friends to the bar for a drink. Or take a walk on the street. Don’t be bored in front of the computer all day. Be obedient. "
Zhao Xiner said nothing and suddenly hung up the phone.
She came out of the bathroom and sat down in front of the computer numbly. Tears were still swirling in her eyes. This made Qiao Yuxin, another deputy general manager of Houhai Zhantou, see it. He walked over and patted her on the shoulder and said, "Sister Xin'er, what's wrong with you?"
Zhao Xiner shook her head, smiled bitterly and said, "Axin, it's nothing. Go and do your work. I'm fine."
Although Chen Baosheng did not want to see her, it did not prevent the two from meeting again.
Shengjie Technology is about to go public, and the Hong Kong Stock Exchange has sent a lot of documents that shareholders and executives need to sign, as well as liability documents, which all need to be signed by Chen Baosheng and all shareholders.
He had no choice but to take chairman Luo Min, Cai Hua and other senior executives with him to Hong Kong Island.
