Can't help feeling for you: can't live without you

Chapter 14: Unforgettable (1)
She has been like this since she was a child. She remembers everything too quickly and forgets too slowly. When she was studying, she thought it was a good thing, but when she thought about it later, it was a tragedy. ——Dong Zhiwei.

Wen Bailiang led Zhang Dafeng and Zhang Dacai to the hotel, a five-star hotel, the car stopped in front of the magnificent hotel gate, a doorman came to take over the parking, and the three got out of the car together.

The lobby is gorgeous, and the Zhang brothers made a "tsk tsk" sound when they walked in. Wen Bailiang handed over the room card and said to them.

"Go up and take a shower, change the clothes in the room, and someone will see you later."

Zhang Dafeng was still drunk, and he smiled triumphantly when he heard the words, "What? The Lord is finally coming out to see us? Bro, let me tell you the news first, is your boss a man or a woman?" He patted Wen Bailiang on the shoulder.

He just turned sideways, with a look of disgust in his eyes, and Zhang Dacai laughed beside him, "Okay, we got it, thank you very much today, Mr. Wen."

Wen Bailiang didn't answer his words, but said, "I'm still here in an hour, don't be late." Then he turned and left.

Zhang Dafeng was still cursing when he got on the elevator, "What the hell, he's not just a dog who runs errands for others. If I win the lawsuit, I can crush him to death by pulling out hairs. Dacai, why are you being polite to him? Look at him like that , I get angry when I see it."

"We don't even know who is behind him now, so we finally took a risky move to lure the rightful owner out. Don't mess up the big thing. We can't fight this lawsuit without help."

Zhang Dafeng scratched his thinning hair, "That's right, then I'll bear with him first."

The two went into the room while talking.Wen Bailiang was still in the lobby downstairs. When he turned around just now, he was stopped by someone within a few steps. Turning around, he saw Dai Ailing sitting in the coffee shop on the side of the lobby, looking at him with a slight smile. I don’t know how long I’ve been watching it.

He paused under his feet, and after walking over, he just sat down and pulled his tie, without opening his mouth.

Dai Ailing's smile widened slightly, "What? Can't take it anymore?"

He frowned, "You know, I don't want to deal with this kind of person."

Her hand was already on his knee, but after hearing this sentence, she stopped smiling and didn't stop her hand, she just pressed on his knee.

"When you come out to do things, you have to deal with everyone, and you have to be able to deal with everyone, otherwise how can you make a big deal?"

He stopped talking, just kept silent, and felt that her hand on his knee was extremely heavy, and wanted to move, but was suppressed by another invisible force, unable to move freely.

He knew what it was, after two years, he still couldn't bear this woman's physical intimacy with him in public, every touch of her reminded him, reminded him that he was hers, everything he had She gave it, arranged it, and gave it to her.

Dai Ailing didn't pay too much attention to the emotions of the young man beside her. For two years, she enjoyed him as if she enjoyed anything she loved and was owned by her—as she wanted and as a matter of course.

She stood up and patted him on the shoulder, "Leave them alone, Mr. Hammers has come over and is waiting in the suite, come upstairs with me, let's meet him first."

After entering the elevator, there were only the two of them in it. The floor she was going to needed to swipe the room card. She pressed the direct button, then turned around and faced him.

"Look at you, the tie is all crooked. Hammers doesn't like to see young people not paying attention to details. Come on, come here."

He wanted to do it himself, but she had already raised both hands, so he had no choice but to take a step towards her in cooperation, and lowered his head slightly.

She straightened his tie for him, and the two of them got closer. The mirrored walls of the elevator were smooth and the lights were bright. He could clearly see the fine lines around her eyes that couldn't be concealed. Even the best makeup skills were useless.

He thought of the young girl's face a long time ago, so pale that there was no extra color, but he liked to press her forehead against her forehead, feeling her young and smooth skin.

Just in a daze like this, Dai Ailing had already adjusted his tie, and raised her hand to touch his face again, with a laughing voice, "What are you thinking? Your eyes are closed."

He opened his eyes suddenly, and the elevator door opened at the same time, breaking the confined space.

"It's nothing, don't you want to see Mr. Hammers? Which room is he in?"

When Wen Bailiang chatted with Han Mosi in proficient English, Dai Ailing didn't join in too much, but just sat on the side and drank half a glass of wine.

When she was with Wen Bailiang in the first place, she didn't expect that the two of them would last so long. She only regarded him as a new attempt at first, but then she gradually got used to having him by her side.

Maybe it was because he brought her memories.

A man who is handsome on the outside but ambitious on the inside always reminds her of the past.

She can never forget the boy she didn't get, the outstanding student in the white shirt, who was so poor that he could only take her to the food stall at night, she always left the driver and walked with him to see the sea, every step could let She recalls a lifetime.

She was the one who left him first, because she knew it would be fruitless, but in the first month after going abroad, she cried every night, and the pillow was always salty and wet, and she changed it again and again.

He wrote a long letter to her. There was not much parting sentiment in the letter, only lofty ambitions. She always knew that he was a boy with high self-esteem. Where she is shoulder to shoulder, until that day, he will see her again.

She never saw him again, he died, an accident, like a black joke, after that she married, divorced, married again, divorced again, flew around the world, left China, returned to China, and then Leaving China, returning to China, and meeting Wen Bailiang by chance at an afternoon business event.

There was a short introduction time for him that day, Wen Bailiang stood on the stage, wearing a simple white shirt, when he talked about the rise, his face was full of ambition, and there were many old cunning and cunning who had been in the financial circle for many years, sitting on her Beside him was a director of Damo, who snorted coldly while listening, his voice was low, but the meaning was clear, and he turned his head to talk to her, calling her English name.

"Melissa, look at the young people in China today. They are more impetuous than the other. Their ideas are simple, but their tone is loud."

When she replied, she was still looking at the young man on the stage, smiling, "Really?" Without saying a word.

After a long period of time, she would occasionally think of him. This circle is not too big, so after a little attention, the general situation of Wen Bailiang will be clear.He was too far away from her, but he always thought of this man in his heart. After a few days, he couldn't hold back anymore, so he talked about him with his close friend. The close friend saw through her mind at that time, and in the private room of the club He slapped the armrest of the sofa with a smile.

"Ai Ling, I thought we could escape, but I didn't expect you to find the little wolf dog too, mid-life crisis!"

It is said that when she was a young girl, she hated seeing her father take a girl who was almost the same age as her into his arms. It was unbelievable and unbearable, but now that she was getting older, she gradually began to understand.Who doesn't love youthful smooth skin?No matter how well maintained it is, the body will go downhill after thirty, and the skin will be thick and sagging. If women are like this, why not men?Today, it is extremely difficult and unnecessary to ask her to pretend to be pleased by a man who is weak.

But in the end, she has some concerns. For a young man who is ten years younger than her, plus other factors, it is enough to make her hesitate again and again, not to mention that she is used to being pursued in her life, and she has never insisted on something that is not her own. Things, nearly forty suddenly come to a complete overturn, she is really hard to get over this level psychologically.

But what she didn't expect was that Wen Bailiang found it by himself.

The crime of illegally absorbing private deposits is neither big nor small. There have been many similar cases in China in recent years. The big ones can even collect more than one billion yuan. A few indefinite sentences are enough, and the small ones should be at least three to five years. Bar.But she didn't expect that Wen Bailiang would make such a low-level mistake and put herself in such an embarrassing situation.

But to him, being desperate, to her, it was nothing more than a few favors owed.

Or this is God's intention, let her not miss him.

He found her, and what she saw was a restless man, distorted by failure and fear, all the vigor of the past was gone, she was actually happy, she knew that she was capable of helping her, she knew that this time, he ran away no more.

Afterwards, Wen Bailiang went to her side logically. She knew that he had a girlfriend, but she left this matter to him to solve by himself.

He is indeed a man who is aware of current affairs, and the matter was resolved quickly. She put him by her side, at first as her assistant, and let him be his old job, but an ambitious man will not be left behind forever. Gradually, he began to ask for more.

It was she who pampered him, she liked the way he was obsessed with a certain goal, and the light in his eyes when he talked about that goal, she often imagined that the man she would never see again was also like the man in front of her. This is the same, showing the same look.

A man who is too obsessed with a certain goal will become cold, because no goal can be achieved without sacrifice, he will sacrifice everything he can give, even including himself, just like Wen Bailiang in front of her.

Wen Bailiang was still talking with Han Mosi. After two years of experience by her side, he was already different from the past. He actually made everyone like Han Mosi nod frequently. She watched silently, smiled, and drank again. Wine in a sip.

Very well, she is willing to cultivate him, as long as he is hers.

When it was almost time to get off work, Dong Zhiwei had coughed more than once, and it lasted longer and longer, even Lili and Xiaolei who were sitting in the big office outside noticed it, and asked her when she went out to pour water with a teacup. One sound.

"Miss Zhiwei, are you feeling unwell?"

She shook her head, her throat was aching, and she didn't want to say another word.

The superficial calm can't stop the body from protesting. During this day, Dong Zhiwei was troubled by Yuan Jingrui's orders in the morning, dealing with Yuan's mother's enthusiasm at noon that made her not know how to deal with herself, and in the afternoon why Weiwen's arrival was a headache. But all of this added up was not as terrifying as the name Xia Ziqi said on the other end of the phone.

She had deliberately buried Wen Bailiang for too long, so long that she almost thought that he would never have any influence on her again, and would never appear in her life again.

But she was wrong.

Apart from that question, Xia Ziqi didn't say anything more on the phone, but no one would bring up an irrelevant person for no reason, let alone in such an eventful time.She didn't know what Wen Bailiang did, but it was obvious that it must not be a trivial matter.

Xia Ziqi investigated him, even his past. If not, why would he suddenly ask her about him?

So the question now is, what did Wen Bailiang do to attract Xia Ziqi's attention, or rather, Yuan Jingrui's attention?
Dong Zhiwei spent two hours in this continuous and fruitless thinking, not even noticing the end of the meeting in the small conference room.The first one to come out was Yuan Jingrui. Dong Zhiwei was sitting just outside his office, facing the door of the small meeting room, so he saw her in a daze at the first sight.

Everyone else left from the other end of the aisle. She didn't respond, so he just stood there and took a look at her. He saw that she had one hand on the thermos cup, and the other hand was holding a pen. Eyes staring at a certain point on the table, dazed without focus, the hair pinched behind the left ear fell down a little, obliquely covering half of her profile, making her face even smaller.

Lily came out of the big office, and she was taken aback when she saw him standing outside the door of the small conference room, and called out, "Mr. Yuan."

Only now did Yuan Jingrui realize that he was fascinated by Dong Zhiwei.

He turned his face to look at Lily, and she immediately lowered her head.

Dong Zhiwei also woke up, stood up when he saw him, he had already walked in front of her, and raised his eyebrows when he saw this.

What happened?Let Dong Zhiwei see him so nervous.

Her reaction made him feel like a scourge.

Yuan Jingrui narrowed his eyes involuntarily when he thought of this, "Secretary Dong, what happened?"

She opened her mouth to answer, her throat hurt like a fire, her voice was slightly hoarse, and she still restrained herself from coughing.

"It's like this. I had a few phone messages just now, and I record them here." She handed him the A4 paper while speaking, and when she spoke again, she finally couldn't help coughing slightly, "And Mr. Xia called and said that he would come to see you later, and that he wanted to talk to you—" She coughed again, "about Wen Bailiang."

He had already taken a look at the piece of paper in his hand, then raised his head again after hearing this, and took another look at her.

Not knowing what kind of expression she had on her face now, Dong Zhiwei almost wanted to turn her back, but Yuan Jingrui was still standing in front of her, so she had to lower her eyes hastily.

"Wen Bailiang? Are you catching a cold?"

These two questions came out consecutively, but it was obvious that the first sentence was just mentioned, and the latter sentence was the key point. Dong Zhiwei raised his head in a little astonishment, and saw the black eyes of his boss looking at her.

She saw herself in his eyes, both eyes were wide open, and her expression was abnormal.

He laughed instead. Dong Zhiwei had always been cautious in her words and deeds in front of him. Seriousness was her standard state. Occasionally showing such an expression made him laugh every time.

"I see, if you catch a cold, go back to rest early, remember to take medicine, don't really catch a cold."

After he said this, he went into the office, and the black automatic door closed without a sound, separating Dong Zhiwei from the door.

Dong Zhiwei didn't move for a few seconds, and then the pain and itching in her throat surged up together, making her use a lot of strength to suppress the desire to cough violently.

She turned around, went back to the desk and sat down, glanced at the time displayed in the lower right corner of the computer screen, settled for a moment, reached out to close it, and then began to pack her things and prepare to leave work.

It was already dusk outside the window, and it was time to get off work, not to mention that she had to attend class tonight, she never missed class, even the exam preparation class, since Yuan Jingrui had spoken, it was only right for her to leave now.

Also, she is exhausted today, and her throat will be sore only when she is exposed to rain and cold, but this is not a big deal, go to the pharmacy to buy two packs of Banlangen before class, make a strong drink and drink it down, and have another drink at night, tomorrow Enough.

tomorrow……

This word made Dong Zhiwei sigh secretly, she had never been so worried about the coming tomorrow, whether she would repeat what she did today, whether Yuan Jingrui would be the same tomorrow, and suddenly smiled at her , I also know how to sympathize with her if she catches a cold.

Dong Zhiwei's hand holding the bag paused, why would she think about this, shouldn't she be thinking about what Wen Bailiang did to make Xia Ziqi want to talk to Yuan Jingrui so eagerly?Shouldn't she be thinking about whether Xia Ziqi's conversation with Yuan Jingrui will affect her job and future?
It's over, abnormality is contagious, after Yuan Jingrui, she also began to become inexplicable.

After entering his office, Yuan Jingrui picked up the phone on the desk, pushed the door open and walked to the outside terrace.

He works on the top floor, half of which is occupied by a wide terrace with a small garden on it. In summer, friends often come here to drink with him at night, so the bar and sofa are all available.It is winter now, near the end of the year, there is a cold wind blowing on the tall buildings, of course no one will come here to drink, but he has been in the heater for a long time, always feeling stuffy, and often comes out to take a breath.

He took the phone and went to the terrace, lit a cigarette, thinking of Dong Zhiwei's surprised expression just now, he wanted to laugh again.

The wind was too strong, and the white smoke he exhaled disappeared without a trace in an instant. He habitually put his hand on the fence at the edge of the terrace, looking down at the street below the building.

The company building is located in the center of the city, and the downstairs is always crowded with people. Just at this moment, he saw Dong Zhiwei.

His eyes have always been good, and he can recognize her at a distance of more than 20 floors. She has just walked out of the building, and a small gray dot is walking down the stairs in front of the building. Step into the crowd on the street.

Dong Zhiwei is an ordinary-looking girl, and anyone who meets her will have the same evaluation, but maybe because he is used to seeing her, he actually finds her more and more pleasing to the eye, especially when she occasionally shows funny expressions, which makes him feel pretty. cute.

The phone in his hand rang, he glanced at the caller ID, and then put it to his ear, Xia Ziqi's voice came from the other end, and the first sentence was, "You've finally finished the meeting."

"You've checked Wen Bailiang, haven't you? How is it?" He remembered what Dong Zhiwei said just now.

"Dong Zhiwei told you?" Xia Ziqi sounded a little surprised.

"Yes." He replied.

Xia Ziqi sighed, "She's so honest, she even told you everything about her ex-boyfriend."

Yuan Jingrui had just taken a puff of cigarette, and after hearing this sentence, he didn't speak out immediately, and looked for the gray dot downstairs again, but at this moment, Dong Zhiwei had already disappeared in the bustling crowd on the street, and he couldn't see anything. Cleared up.

Dong Zhiwei felt that his class efficiency was extremely poor that night.

There are many students in the pre-graduate class, and the auditorium is densely packed with people. She came here by bus after get off work. The company cannot go directly to here, so she has to reverse the bus, because the first bus has waited for a long time, and the back is a bit rushed. , I don’t have time to buy the Banlangen I want.

After entering the classroom, the teacher was already there. Now the university teachers have switched to multimedia in class, and the projector has already been turned on. The exam points are on one screen. She is afraid that she will miss something, so she quickly finds an empty seat and sits down, burying her head in memory. .
