Out of control and sinking

"Have reverence?" Bo Ye scoffed: "Gods and Buddhas are nothing but illusions, merely figments of people's imaginations."

"What's the use of respecting it?"

Jiang Ruan frowned and, without thinking, covered his mouth: "Don't say that."

Bo Ye stared at her with his dark eyes, gesturing for her to let go.

"Forget it, you're an atheist anyway, so it's probably pointless for me to talk to you anymore, you won't listen anyway." Jiang Ruan curled her lips and withdrew her hand: "Whether it's a spiritual sustenance or not, I'm willing to believe in it. It's fine if you don't believe in Buddhism, I will."

Bo Ye didn't bother to argue: "Yes."

As Jiang Ruan spoke, she put the Buddhist beads back on his wrist and held his hand, saying, "Perhaps what you said makes sense, but after all, they are deities, and it is only right to have a sense of awe."

“You don’t believe in Buddhism, but you feel a connection with this string of prayer beads. This shows that you still have Buddha in your heart, Bo Ye. After this incident, I really believe that it will protect you.”

Bo Ye's lips twitched slightly, and he lightly tapped her brow with his fingertip: "Why are you starting to act all mysterious too?"

"I'm lucky I didn't get on that plane that crashed, what does it have to do with me?"

"According to what you're saying, it's as if I'm going to worship it."

Bo Ye scoffed, his tone full of disdain. He said, "What's the use of respecting it? You'd be better off respecting me. I can protect you, what can a god do?"

Will you have a better life in your next life?

Jiang Ruan: "..."

"You are making a fuss."

"Can the gods compare to you?"

They're not even the same concept, are they?

Bo Ye curled his lips: "So you mean the gods aren't worthy to be compared to me?"

Bo Ye's mood instantly brightened.

"You're smart."

Jiang Ruan: "..."

This is a complete distortion of the facts.

Jiang Ruan sighed, "Forget it, let's change the subject, let's not talk about this anymore."

Jiang Ruan's tone was full of helplessness.

After lying down for a while, she said, "Get up, we haven't had dinner yet."

Bo Ye pinched the space between her eyebrows with his fingertips and asked her, "Are you hungry?"

Jiang Ruan: "Mm."

Bo Ye said, "Okay."

Then I got up and turned on the bedroom light.

It was already 10:30 p.m.

Bo Ye carried her to wash her hands and wash up quickly, then they went downstairs to eat.

—

For three whole days, Bo Ye didn't go to the company.

Xu Yun called him, but he hung up immediately.

I don't want to say a single word to her.

Bo Ye would rather not have such a biological mother with whom he shares a blood relationship.

She's not even worthy of being compared to Jiang Ruan.

Chen Nan handled all the important offline matters, which kept him extremely busy.

The collaboration was discussed one moment, and a meeting was called the next.

It's only been three days.

Chen Nan lost six pounds.

I lost two pounds a day.

It's even more effective than him going to the gym.

He dreams about dealing with things at night.

Chen Nan felt like he was going crazy.

Unable to hold back any longer, he called Bo Ye, almost in tears: "Mr. Bo, how is Miss Jiang's injury?"

Was he just calling to check on her?
Bo Ye glanced at the person next to him who was eating watermelon, his tone icy: "Almost done. What, do you need to see her?"

The last few words were covered in ice crystals.

Jiang Ruan was eating watermelon, so no one could hear who he was talking to on the phone.

However, you can tell from these words that the question was directed at her.

Take a guess.

It seems like Chen Nan is the only one.

When questioned, Chen Nan felt even more like crying.

What does he want with Miss Jiang?

"He's looking for you, Mr. Bo." Chen Nan cried out in despair, "Mr. Bo, when are you coming back to the company?" "If you don't come back soon, I'm going to be driven to the hospital by those people from the board of directors..."

Before I could finish speaking, I heard a beeping sound in my ear.

Bo Ye actually hung up on him!!
Chen Nan was dumbfounded.

"Ahhhhhh—" he cried out.

Mr. Bo, you can't treat people like this!
At this time, there was a knock on the door again.

Chen Nan's head started hurting again.

But he still said, "Go in."

The moment the door opened, Chen Nan reverted to his usual aloof and serious self.

It looks very proper.

In reality, his mind is full of madness.

He couldn't work another day of that job.

If he goes any further up, Chen Nan will have to lie in the hospital.

Although Bo Ye handled all the major matters.

But there are plenty of small things to do at the company. This requires approval of documents, that requires signatures, and the key is that he has to look at them all.

Don't sign anything carelessly.

Because Bo Ye was not present, his signature still carried legal weight.

If something goes wrong, Chen Nan wouldn't be able to afford to pay for it even if he went bankrupt.

Bo Ye has a photographic memory.

I can skim through any document in just a few minutes.

But he didn't.

Even after serving as Bo Ye's assistant for several years, Chen Nan now realizes that compared to President Bo, his achievements are nothing but a drop in the ocean.

Just then, the person outside came in.

Just as Chen Nan was about to speak, he saw that it was Si Chen.

Upon seeing him, Chen Nan's eyes lit up instantly, and he stood up without saying a word: "Mr. Si, what brings you here?"

After exchanging pleasantries, Si Chen asked curiously, "Where's my brother Bo? Why isn't he here?"

Chen Nan's eyes lit up, and he asked, "Does Mr. Si have something to discuss with Mr. Bo?"

"Yes, I still don't quite understand the project proposal he asked me to make last time. I need to ask him for help."

"Where's Brother Bo? I haven't seen him."

Chen Nan is Bo Ye's confidant.

She knew that Bo Ye had already introduced Jiang Ruan to their affairs.

So Chen Nan said bluntly, "Miss Jiang is injured, and President Bo is at home keeping her company online. He's working from home and hasn't come to the company for several days."

"What? My sister-in-law is injured?"

"Is Brother Bo at home with her while she recovers from her injuries?"

"When did this happen? Brother Bo is so unfair, he didn't even tell us."

Chen Nan said, "It's been three days."

"It's been so long."

Si Chen: "No, I have to go check on my sister-in-law. My brother Bo finally found a woman, so we can't let anything happen to her. I'll call Feng Meiling and the others to go check on her together."

"Let's also talk to Brother Bo about cooperation."

“It’s perfect.”

Thinking this, Si Chen said, "Then I won't talk to you anymore, I'm leaving."

"Okay, goodbye, Mr. Si."

As Si Chen walked away, Chen Nanshan touched the tip of his nose.

Isn't what he's doing a bit wrong?

Has Bo Xilai's itinerary been revealed?
But it's alright, President Bo left him here to suffer, let President Si go and bother him too.

Ideally, we should annoy President Bo so much that he'll come back to work tomorrow.

That means he'd be willing to be scolded.

Just then, the door rang again.

Chen Nan: "..."

"Go in," he said, then sighed.

Tang Lili, the design director, walked in carrying a stack of documents, slammed them on the table, and smiled at him, saying, "Assistant Chen, these are all new documents from the design department, and they all need to be signed."

Looking at that pile of documents, Chen Nan felt like dying.

"Tsk tsk tsk, Mr. Bo has only been gone for three days, Assistant Chen, how come you have lost so much weight and look so bad?"

Tang Lili covered her mouth and chuckled: "Anyone who didn't know better would think you went out with your girlfriend after get off work, Assistant Chen. Take care of yourself."
