"My mother and I have not been very close since we were young. She always has a lot of things to do and doesn't care much about me. My father is my dearest person, but when he passed away, I couldn't be by my side. " Zhou Shaoting pressed the center of his raised eyebrows, "Before he left, he entrusted me with the riddled Yiheng. I didn't want to disappoint him. In the circumstances at that time, marrying Sun Xiaonan was the safest way to recover from the decline The way, also, is the most likely to succeed. My mother and the Xiao family are exerting pressure" Zhou Shaoting pursed his lips, as if reliving the struggle at that time, and finally spit out a few words with a sigh: "I am shaken .¡±
His deep eyes turned to Xiaoshi's face, his eyes were as dark as the sea, but his expression was as light as smoke, "I think, since you have decided to let go, I don't need to be persistent anymore. How you live is a lifetime, with whom Marriage is almost the same, so at least let me explain to my father."
"Later, I met Cheng Yongsheng, who was considered my noble man at that time and helped me a lot. I got my wish to bring Yiheng back to life, and injected fresh blood into it to become the later Yijiang. However, my price is the same heavy."
There was a trace of sarcasm in Zhou Shaoting's expression, "In those few years, my life must have been full of ambitions and achievements in the eyes of others, but for me, it was exhausting and tortured. I felt uncomfortable all the time. By myself, regretful, lonely, but can't tell anyone."
His eyes fell on the warm-colored corner, and the distant focal length seemed to penetrate layers of time and see himself walking alone at that time.
His mother's coldness and alienation, the strong pressure from the Xiao family, Sun Xiaonan's harshness and pressing step by step But he didn't want to talk about these in detail with Xiaoshi. This was originally the bitter fruit caused by his own mistakes, and he couldn't bear to let Xiaoshi share it.
"To tell you the truth, when I thought of you at that time, I felt a little resentment in my heart. I resented that you were stubborn and decisive, and left me without even saying a word. Although I knew in my heart that I couldn't blame you, I just didn't A way to recall you peacefully or happily."
Zhou Shaoting looked at Xiaoshi, but there was no resentment in his eyes at this time, only certain cherishment.
"When I first returned to Shanghai, I still had such a continuation of my feelings for you, especially after knowing that you had a boyfriend. You may also feel that my indifference and alienation towards you at that time was indeed intentional." Zhou Shaoting He held the corner of his lips, as if laughing at his immaturity at the time. "But later I figured it out. In fact, I was unwilling to treat you like that. If I can let it go, everything should be calm and natural."
"So I couldn't hate it anymore, and then I thought, well, then I'll just watch you happy and stop disturbing your life. Because, I'm still dragging a lot of troubles that I can't solve"
Zhou Shaoting thought of the child who passed away in a hurry, he did exist, a little life connected with his flesh and blood. This was his biggest trouble that day, even more troublesome than the nominal marriage, but there was no way to solve it.
But he never wants to tell Xiaoshi about this matter, he doesn't want the woman he loves to see his ruthless side.
But he is more than just ruthless?
Zhou Shaoting frowned, and said frankly: "But I overestimated my self-control. I don't want to be a harmless bystander in your life. I want to be the one who gives you happiness. I know it's very embarrassing for me. Selfishness, I can't let it go, so I force you to be with me"
Xiao Shi shook his head vigorously. Zhou Shaoting touched her head, full of tolerance and accommodating, "Whether you admit it or not, I can feel that your resistance at the beginning was not completely willing. Even now, you are still very nervous, or you can say, not completely trust me."
In the last half of the sentence, Zhou Shaoting spoke very slowly, and his deep and sharp eyes inadvertently passed across the girl's face, taking in the trace of uneasiness in his eyes.
Xiaoshi was really startled, this man's insight was so deep, he revealed the last reservation she tried to hide.
Zhou Shaoting took Xiaoshi's hand and entangled his fingers, "But I can't care about that much anymore. No matter what, I don't want to let go anymore. I don't want to lose you again."
He raised Xiaoshi's hand to his eyes and looked at it. The girl's hand was soft and boneless, with slender fingertips. It was always slightly cool all year round, making people want to warm it up.
"Would you blame me?"
The man's gentle voice spread in the quiet room, and Xiao Shi suddenly felt that the words were very familiar. It seemed that on that unforgettable rainy night, she lay on Zhou Shaoting's heaving and warm chest, and when he asked this sentence, accompanied by the mesmerizing sound of the rain, she was determined without regret.
Now, he asked himself again, outside the window was the howling wind in the autumn night.
"I don't blame you, never have", Xiaoshi suddenly said??Moved, leaning on Zhou Shaoting's shoulder, "Actually, I never figured it out before. What I resisted was always myself."
"I know that the current situation is not what you expected at first, but I can't give you a clear deadline. Zhou Shaoting's tone was a little helpless and apologetic, "Even if Yijiang is really listed, my marriage may still have to wait." It will be delayed for a while, as for how long, I am not sure now. On the one hand, it is for the stability of the stock price, and on the other hand, you know, because of my role, my private life is not only about me personally, but also about the reputation and image of the company. There are so many people in Yijiang, many of whom worked hard together with me. They trust me, help me, and rely on me. I cannot abandon them. "
Zhou Shaoting lowered his head, looked at the girl's serene and drooping long eyelashes, how much forbearance and grievance were covered under them, his heart ached, and he said heavily: "I have wronged you."
Are you wronged? Xiao Shi weighed this word in his heart, it is impossible that there is no such word. Who doesn't want to be the wife of the man he loves, but is willing to be his mistress kept outside, and be looked down upon and criticized by others?
Xiaoshi sat up, with a transparent smile on her face, "It's okay, I do it voluntarily."
Zhou Shaoting looked directly into her eyes with a steady gaze, "There is a saying, I told you five years ago, I said I would not give up, and it is still the case now." He slowed down his speech, earnestly and deeply, "Yanyan, I don't have any demands on you, I just want you to believe in me."
Every word seemed to be imprinted in Xiaoshi's heart. She pursed her lips and smiled, then nodded, "Well, I don't force anything, so that's fine."
? On Monday morning, Zhou Shaoting personally visited two hotel management projects, Youhua and Fanya. Both have their own advantages. Youhua pays more attention to professionalism, while Fanya wins in the vast network of relationships.
Fanya's vice president, Huang Hailing, has a background in public relations and has the charm of a mature single woman. She is slick and capable in handling affairs. Not only did he express his admiration for Zhou Shaoting appropriately, but he also implicitly hinted at the group's high-level affection for the Zhou family.
Zhou Shaoting naturally wouldn't make any statement, but he was secretly weighing in his heart.
After Huang Hailing sent Zhou Shaoting away enthusiastically, she dialed another person's phone number as soon as she returned to the office.
"Okay, I see, you have a heart."
Cheng Yongcheng hung up the phone, slowly rubbing the phone with his palm, his eyebrows stretched, and he believed in An Ran.
When Zhou Shaoting received Cheng Yongsheng's call, the car had already driven to Yijiang's underground garage.
The old man on the other end of the phone smiled kindly, "Do you have time? Let's sit together, I haven't chatted with you for a long time."
"Mr. Cheng, I'm really sorry, I have an engagement at noon." Zhou Shaoting's attitude sounded sincere and respectful.
"I know you're busy," Cheng Yongcheng dragged his tone, showing tolerance and tolerance, "I won't waste your time, I'm in Yijiang now"
Zhou Shaoting couldn't make any more excuses, so he hung up the phone with a serious expression on his face. Cheng Yongsheng always went to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, what could he talk to himself about at this time?
Zhou Shaoting wasn't afraid of him, but it was very troublesome for the old man to deal with, especially in this critical period, he tried his best to avoid conflicts, but he didn't want to cause troubles.
Jin Xin vaguely heard the content of the phone call, and while parking the car, he muttered: "Mr. Cheng has been really diligent in traveling to Yijiang recently."
Zhou Shaoting glanced at him from the rearview mirror, calmly said, "He is the major shareholder, and he should be."
Zhou Shaoting went directly to Cheng Yongsheng's office. It was on the highest floor, above all the offices in the Yijiang headquarters. It was newly decorated, spacious and luxurious.
As soon as Zhou Shaoting walked outside the office, the administrative secretary immediately stood up respectfully, and said politely: "Mr. Zhou, are you looking for Mr. Cheng? He just came down and said he was going to sit in your office. Why, did you go astray? "
Zhou Shaoting nodded slightly, feeling even more strange in his heart. Cheng Yongsheng is so good at putting on airs, why is he condescending to find himself? It is abnormal.
He returned to his office again, and saw that Cheng Yongsheng was already sitting in the middle of the reception sofa, with a steady posture and a relaxed expression, as if he was on his own territory.
Zhou Shaoting strode closer with a gentle smile, "Why do you come down in person? I just went to look for you."
Cheng Yongcheng laughed a few times, waved his hands and said, "My place smells like decoration, and it smells like a headache. Come to your place to have a sit."
Zhou Shaoting sat on the single sofa on the other side, leaning forward slightly to show his respect for his elders.
The two chatted casually about Yijiang's recent situation, in a cloud of fog, not focusing on the point.
Cheng Yongsheng listened to Zhou Shaoting's report on some recent work without pain, with a satisfied smile on his face all the time, and praised in a timely manner: "It's not easy, thank you for your hard work! My son who doesn't live up to expectations can't help you much." , Thanks to you, Yijiang can achieve today's results."
Zhou Shaoting said with a smile that he didn't dare to take it seriously, Cheng Yongcheng said again: "You see you are so busy, Yaoyao is back for vacation this time, and I have to bother you, I feel really sorry."
As soon as he heard Cheng Yiyao mentioned, Zhou Shaoting's nerves tightened suddenly, and he vaguely sensed the unusual meaning of this conversation.
