God of War: My Best School Girlfriend
Chapter 724: Two People Drifting Away
"By the way, it would be best if we could transfer the funds we are about to invest in Shenzhou Technology Company through your financial loan company."
"Although I am willing to lend you money, due to my position, I still cannot have anything to do with you openly, so it is safer to go through your underworld company in secret."
The meticulous Ji Sha Luo reminded him to make sure every step was perfect.
"I feel the same way. As a civil servant, I can't give you the money directly. It would be easy for the Commission for Discipline Inspection to find out. So I'd better launder the money through your company and then transfer it to Shenzhou Technology Company."
"Alas, there is nothing I can do. Dragon Country has so many laws and regulations."
Luo Wu nodded in agreement with Ji Shaluo's concerns.
"No problem. Since you trust me, I will definitely ensure the safety of your funds. I promise that even if the source of the funds is investigated, it will never be traced back to you."
Lu Wenyuan calmly made an OK gesture and said, I have to say, adults are always reliable when doing things.
"I've talked so much, so I don't think there's anything else to do today, right? Do you have any additional questions?"
Ye Xingke lit a cigarette, lay down on the chair, exhaled a long puff of smoke, and felt a little tired.
Lately I have been attending meetings all the time, and they last for half a day. I am physically fine, but my brain can’t take it anymore.
"Have you forgotten the most important thing?"
Lu Wenyuan smiled mysteriously.
"Is there anything else? We have been in a meeting for such a long time, do we need to continue???"
Ye Xingke said with a sad face that he was really unhappy to continue the meeting.
"No, no, we've already talked about the serious business. All that's left is to celebrate."
"Don't forget, today is the auspicious day for the successful development of the Qinglong chip. The research of President Qi and his team has finally come to fruition and has come to an end. Shouldn't we celebrate it?"
Lu Wenyuan took out his cell phone and sent a message. Soon, several cars drove into the company gate.
"Time is tight, and I don't have time to prepare anything for everyone, so I'll just buy some drinks for everyone and let's celebrate here."
"When the chip is actually launched on the market, it won't be too late for us to hold a formal celebration banquet."
Lu Wenyuan smiled slightly.
"Speaking of which, today is really a day worth celebrating. The Qinglong chip has been successfully developed, the foundation has been laid, and the follow-up plans have been completed. We should celebrate!"
Luo Wu laughed cheerfully.
"But being complete is not enough, there is still a lot of follow-up work to be done!"
Qi Chengen said a little nervously.
"Okay, Mr. Qi, you should take a good rest when it's time to rest. You have been working hard in the laboratory these days and have not had a rest. It's time to relax."
"We'll talk about the follow-up later. If we don't muster up our spirits, how can we have the energy to move forward???"
Ye Xingke patted Qi Chengen on the shoulder, signaling him not to be so nervous and to relax in moderation.
"Well, okay then..."
Qi Chengen sighed deeply. As soon as he relaxed his tense mood, he felt fatigue sweeping over his whole body. It seemed that he was really exhausted during these days.
Soon, the Yan Hui team came up with large boxes filled with ice cubes, with several bottles of chilled, unopened wine inserted into the ice.
There were also some high-end dishes such as sashimi, beef, seafood, etc., which were obviously prepared in advance.
"These are ours, as well as the engineers in the lab below. I have also prepared them for them. They are also heroes, and it's time for them to relax."
Lu Wenyuan smiled and opened a bottle of wine, filling the glasses on the table one by one.
"Thank you very much. On behalf of all our employees, I would like to thank you for your gift."
Qi Chengen thanked him.
"Alright, alright, stop talking, let's have some fun first!!!"
“Cheers to our beautiful tomorrow!!!”
Under the bright lights, Ye Xingke raised his glass high, with a bright smile on his face, and stood up first.
“Cheers to a better tomorrow!!!”
Following his lead, everyone raised their glasses and clinked them in the air.
As the clear and pleasant sound of "ding ding" rang out, everyone's face was filled with smiles, full of hope for a new life tomorrow.
No one knows what the future will be like, but they are not confused at this moment, they only have the courage to move forward.
The night grew darker amid the laughter and celebration in the conference room.
…………
"It hurts..."
"My head hurts... I shouldn't have drunk so much yesterday..."
The early morning sunlight shone through the curtains onto Ye Xingke's face. He touched his head, tremblingly got up from the bed, and went to the bathroom.
"Really? He's been drinking and staying up late. His face is so pale. It looks like he's still drunk..."
Ye Xingke looked at the dark circles under his eyes in the mirror and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
"Forget it, it doesn't matter. I'm not going anywhere today anyway. I can just stay in the room and catch up on some sleep during the day."
Ye Xingke finished washing up, changed his clothes and prepared to go to the restaurant for dinner, but he completely forgot an important fact...
When he slowly came to the restaurant in his pajamas, he found that Chu Lingjun had already changed into a formal suit and was sitting quietly on a chair, obviously having been waiting for a long time.
"Oh, Miss, why did you get up so early today? You even changed into formal clothes. There's no need to dress so formally in the suite."
At this time, Ye Xingke still didn't understand the seriousness of the problem. He sat on the chair, picked up the knife and fork and started to eat breakfast. Although the steak and fried eggs on the table were already cold, he still ate them.
"Early??? What do you mean early? It's almost nine o'clock. Why are you just getting up??? Do you know how long the young lady has been waiting for you???"
Alice, the maid standing behind Chu Lingjun, blamed angrily.
"Wait for me??? There's no need to wait for me, she can just have breakfast first."
I don’t know if he is still drunk, Ye Xingke said without caring.
"You bastard!!! Who the hell are you??? You're just a lousy bodyguard, but you think this place is your home???"
"You actually let the young lady wait for you to wake up, are you kidding me??? Do you have any self-awareness at all!!!"
Alice roared angrily, her hatred for Ye Xingke growing deeper and deeper.
"Alice, don't get excited, let me talk."
Chu Lingjun waved his hand gently to stop the excited Alice.
"Xingke, have you forgotten what I told you yesterday?"
At this time, Chu Lingjun stated calmly, with no emotion showing on his handsome face.
"Did you say anything to me yesterday? I can't remember it. Anyway, it's all the same. Stay here as usual today."
Ye Xingke put down his knife and fork, touched his head and tried to think about it, but his mind was like a tangled mess and he couldn't remember anything.
"..."
"I told you yesterday afternoon that I would take you out today, you... don't you remember anything at all???"
Chu Lingjun suppressed his grievances, bit his lips and pretended to be calm.
No one knew how depressed and complicated her mood was during the two hours from 6:30 in the morning when she changed her clothes and sat silently in the restaurant waiting for Ye Xingke until 8:30. But even so, she did not let Alice disturb Ye Xingke's rest.
However, the final result was that Ye Xingke looked nonchalant and even forgot the agreement he had made with him yesterday.
Fortunately, Chu Lingjun has a good temper and a good personality. If it were any other woman, if she was stood up on a date and had to wait for two hours, she would probably have been furious.
"what!"
At this point, Ye Xingke was stunned, and then he remembered what Chu Lingjun had said to him yesterday.
"I want to go back to the Leonardo da Vinci Academy of Art tomorrow. After all, it's my property. I haven't been there for a long time. Will you accompany me?"
Chu Lingjun did say that to him at the time, but as luck would have it, the news of the successful development of the Qinglong chip happened to reach his mobile phone, distracting his attention. He turned around and went back to his room without paying attention to what Chu Lingjun said.
After that, it was time to discuss the meeting in the evening. Ye Xingke's mind was full of thoughts on how the company would be run in the future. He had drunk so much alcohol that he had completely forgotten about Chu Lingjun's invitation to go out with him the next day. He didn't even remember it until this morning.
Thinking of this, Ye Xingke couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat and sobered up a lot.
Chu Lingjun is his employer, nominally his boss, but how can a boss wait for his bodyguard to wake up in the morning? ? ? Isn’t this nonsense!!
And in the final analysis, it was my own fault that I was careless for a moment and forgot all about my responsibilities as a bodyguard. I also drank so much alcohol that I ended up having a hangover and didn't get up until 8:30. It was all my fault.
At this moment, Ye Xingke couldn't help but secretly curse himself for being careless.
For the sake of his career, he neglected to protect Chu Lingjun. What if an enemy attacked him last night when he was drunk and careless? This is not like a professional bodyguard at all.
"Did you...remember it?"
Chu Lingjun felt bitter in her heart. She had been sitting here waiting for Ye Xingke for two hours and she felt like she was sitting on pins and needles.
Because this kind of thing had never happened before, she didn't know what happened to Ye Xingke last night, so she didn't dare to disturb him.
But as she sat there, she couldn't help but start to think wildly, did Ye Xingke not care about him at all, did he not take her seriously at all? ? Why did he even forget what he had just said yesterday? ? ?
Combined with the intimate behavior between Ye Xingke and Ji Shaluo in recent days, she couldn't help but magnify these misunderstandings in her heart. The more she thought about it, the more heartbroken she became, the more aggrieved she felt, and she almost wanted to cry.
So, she wore her changed clothes and sat on the chair in the restaurant waiting anxiously for two hours, hoping that Ye Xingke would come out earlier.
The food on the table was already cold, but she didn't even touch it with her chopsticks.
"I just remembered. Sorry, I forgot to take it..."
Ye Xingke lowered his head in shame, and even the food in his mouth no longer tasted good.
"Forgot? You can even forget something like this, do you still have any sense of responsibility???"
"The Chu family hired you to protect the eldest daughter, not to hire an ancestor, a living father!!! All you do is eat and sleep all day, and you even forget your job!!!"
Alice took this opportunity to scold Ye Xingke, whom she had always disliked.
Ye Xingke couldn't even lift his head up because of the scolding. For the first time, he didn't talk back because he felt guilty. He really felt guilty towards Chu Lingjun.
In the past half month, he was busy with the Qinglong chip and had thrown Chu Lingjun aside, not even saying a few words to him.
Sometimes Chu Lingjun took the initiative to talk to him, but he would just brush him off with a few words.
The two of them used to go from laughing and scolding each other, with endless topics to talk about, to now only saying two or three sentences a day. It seems that their relationship has reached freezing point, and the happy atmosphere in the presidential suite is long gone.
Now Ye Xingke has made this mistake again, further worsening the already precarious relationship.
"Okay, Alice, stop talking. He didn't mean it. Maybe he was not feeling well last night, which is why he got up late today."
Chu Lingjun sighed sadly and slowly stopped Alice's scolding.
"But Miss, this guy is really taking advantage of you. You are so nice to him, but he is becoming more and more arrogant. He doesn't act like a bodyguard, but more like a boss!"
Alice was dissatisfied and asked, "What kind of identity is Chu Lingjun? This guy didn't even take him seriously."
First, he completely forgot about yesterday's appointment, and then he left Chu Lingjun outside for two hours. He was really arrogant and rude.
"Don't say anything. Anyway, there is nothing urgent today. It's just that the leaders of the Education Bureau will come to inspect in the afternoon. It's not too late to go now."
Chu Lingjun felt inexplicably irritated. After she guessed Ye Xingke's identity, she thought she could get closer to and understand him better. However, due to various reasons, the distance between them became farther and farther. She could no longer figure out what Ye Xingke was thinking.
"Ms. Chu, you don't have to defend me again and again. I was wrong and I forgot my original responsibility. I feel ashamed..."
Ye Xingke said in a deep voice, as if he had made up his mind.
"Snapped!!!"
A crisp and loud slapping sound was heard, and Ye Xingke slapped himself hard in the face, and five bright red marks suddenly appeared on his face.
"What are you doing??? It's just a small matter, why are you hitting yourself!! Alice, go get an ice pack!!!"
Chu Lingjun was frightened by Ye Xingke's sudden action. Looking at the bright red slap marks on Ye Xingke's face, which were obviously heavy-handed, she couldn't help but feel distressed and hurriedly told Alice to get an ice pack for cold compress.
"As a bodyguard, I should always be by my employer's side, but I forgot my responsibility and made my employer wait for me. This is my fault and I won't make excuses!!!"
"This slap is the punishment I give myself!!! As a member of the Royal Knights, I will never easily forgive my dereliction of duty!!!"
"Ms. Chu, I promise, this is the last time I make a mistake. After that, I will never make the same mistake again!!!"
Ye Xing said solemnly, with a serious look in his eyes.
However, he never expected that today, when he said this, he and Chu Lingjun would also say goodbye...
