Distance creates beauty, but also creates barriers.
After a while, Liu Sibei came to Jiangcheng to visit his brother. Liu Siquan was no longer a coolie in the warehouse. He used his rest time to learn sign language. Over time, he learned it very standardly.
He applied to Heizi to be a waiter, and Heizi let him try it out for a few days. The effect was pretty good, and he was presentable. Some customers even thought this waiter was interesting and danced around.
Liu Sibei saw the changes in his brother and was grateful in his heart. It can be said that Liu Siquan became what he is now because of Pei Donglai's help.
Liu Sibei told Pei Donglai that Cao Geqing was arrested some time ago. After Chen Jian arrived in Shenzhen, he stayed at Cao Geqing's house. He lived with Cao Geqing's mother.
During this time, Zhou Defei was preparing to sell his company in Shenzhen and planned to return to Jiangcheng.
"Do you know why Chen Jian went to Shenzhen?" Pei Donglai asked.
"I don't know much about it. It is said that he also has business in Shenzhen."
"He won't take over Zhou Defei's company, right?"
"I saw that he had contacts with Zhou Defei, and it is possible that Zhou Defei's company is quite profitable. I don't know how he could sell it to others," Liu Sibei said.
Cao Geqing had transferred the company to Zhou Defei before. He should have expected that something would happen to him, so he did this. But why did Zhou Defei sell the company? Pei Donglai felt a little confused.
A few days later, Liu Sibei left Jiangcheng. She had worked hard since joining Zhou Defei's company, and now she was the backbone of the company and successfully put on clothes.
Liu Sibei planned to take his brother to live there after Zhou Defei left.
After implementing the training company's plan, Jiangdong Bank's performance has been booming, much better than before, and the majority of employees have gradually adapted to it.
Lin Xiaojie still had lingering fears about Pei Donglai's proposal to expel the Zhang Hongliang brothers, but even so, it could not change the facts.
After taking office for so long, most employees don't seem to take Lin Xiaojie as chairman seriously, especially several senior executives. They only report everything to Pei Donglai and ignore her existence.
After the training company came, everyone admired Pei Donglai even more and felt that Pei Donglai was very capable. Some employees even whispered that Lin Xiaojie was just a puppet.
These gossips naturally reached Lin Xiaojie's ears.
Lin Xiaojie didn't care much at first because she still had some wishful thinking about Pei Donglai, but in Lijiang, the moment she saw Pei Donglai and Zhang Yutong hugging at the airport, she almost gave up.
One day, Lin Xiaojie invited Pei Dong to come to her home for dinner. Pei Donglai rejected her invitation as usual. Lin Xiaojie said, "Donglai, come over. I will talk to you about something from the past tonight."
Lin Xiaojie spoke mysteriously, with sadness in her words, and Pei Dong left as soon as he came.
Arriving at Lin Xiaojie's house, Lin Xiaojie was cooking. In the past, when the two were still together, Pei Dong would cook. Lin Xiaojie came home like a princess, lying lazily on the sofa waiting for Pei Dong to cook.
Times have changed, things have changed, and now, Lin Xiaojie has also learned to cook.
After sitting down, Lin Xiaojie was about to open the red wine, but Pei Donglai stopped her and said, "Xiaojie, let's talk first."
Lin Xiaojie knew that Pei Donglai was worried that she would act rogue when she was drunk, so she took a long breath and held back her temper.
"Don't worry, I won't get drunk. Even if I'm drunk, I won't fool around. Even if I fool around, I won't fool around in front of you." Lin Xiaojie finished speaking in one breath, her expression was serious and her tone was stiff.
Afterwards, the atmosphere in the room froze, and neither of them spoke. Lin Xiaojie picked up the wine glass and drank heavily.
After a glass of wine, she slowly spoke, "Dong Lai, I asked you to come over today because I want to talk to you about something."
Pei Donglai put down his bowl and chopsticks, looked at Lin Xiaojie and said, "You tell me."
Lin Xiaojie first talked about it from the university campus, and then she talked about it for a long time. There were laughter and tears in the process.
Pei Donglai sat aside and listened, sometimes sighing with emotion, but the past has become a thing of the past and will never go back to the past.
Finally, Lin Xiaojie said: "The reason why I am telling you this is because I still love you, really, Donglai." Tears rolled in Lin Xiaojie's eyes, and the tears fell down in the blink of an eye.
Pei Donglai looked at Lin Xiaojie's sad expression and naturally felt uncomfortable, but he still felt in his heart that it was too late and the two of them could never go back to the past.
"Xiaojie, we are divorced and can never go back," Pei Donglai responded calmly.
"Donglai, have you never loved me?" Lin Xiaojie looked at Pei Donglai and asked with a tearful voice.
"Xiaojie, don't talk about this anymore. It's all over and the results have come out. Is the process still so important?"
"To me, it's very important."
Pei Donglai knew in his heart that Lin Xiaojie grew up in a single-parent family, and her mother was busy with work. She definitely didn't care enough for her when she was a child. Because of Gong Lin, Chen Jian couldn't stay with her daughter, which made Lin Xiaojie very eager to be loved.
Lin Xiaojie's own conditions were not bad, and she had many suitors, but among these suitors, only Pei Donglai truly loved her. She truly felt that Pei Donglai's love for her was selfless, even better than her mother's.
But because she acted in a drama for her mother's sake, she lost her love and marriage. Over the years, she has been unwilling to do so and has been working hard to save her love and marriage.
That's what she thought, but Pei Donglai didn't think so.
Pei Donglai couldn't let go at first, but later he slowly let go. After meeting Zhang Yutong, he almost forgot about the past.
"Xiaojie, you are still young and beautiful. Find a good family as soon as possible. It is impossible for us," Pei Donglai said first.
"Is it because of Zhang Yutong?" Lin Xiaojie asked.
It was also because of Zhang Yutong, and not for Zhang Yutong that Pei Donglai felt very confused, but Zhang Yutong could not be ruled out as the reason.
In the end, Pei Donglai chose silence and did not answer her.
Lin Xiaojie said again: "Donglai, I know you love Zhang Yutong, and she loves you too, but it's impossible for you, really."
Pei Donglai felt that Lin Xiaojie seemed to know some inside information. When they were in Lijiang, the two were affectionate, but after returning, Pei Donglai felt that Zhang Yutong was like before, indifferent to him.
"Xiaojie, why is it impossible?" Pei Donglai asked excitedly.
Lin Xiaojie didn't answer Pei Donglai's question. She just smiled and continued drinking.
"Dong Lai, I misunderstood you for a while. I'm sorry. I heard before that you had several girlfriends in Jiangcheng, and they were all promiscuous women. But later I found out that you were just acting at that time," Lin Xiaojie said happily. .
