Chapter 28 Chapter Twenty Eight

"By the way, the photos from the meeting in Sanya last time, I just had time to get them out these two days, or should they be sent to your son's mailbox?" "Yes, thank you Mr. Zhang." Zhang Naichi shook his head with a smile: "You should also learn how to use computers. Now people in their 70s and 80s can surf the Internet. You are too far behind!" "I'm stupid, I can't learn... The boss didn't say anything, haha." "Isn't that because you have an unusual relationship with William, hahaha!" Zhang Naichi was about to lift his legs to get into the car, when Zhou Feng suddenly remembered something: "By the way, Mr. Zhang, I saw a lady outside the company building just now, and she seemed to be waiting for someone... Well, I seem to remember seeing She was with you."

"Huh?" Zhang Naichi frowned, "Is it someone you don't know?" "I don't know, it's not from our company..." "What does it look like?" "Ordinary, looks quite young, relatively thin, with a ponytail." Zhou Feng struggled to describe it, but Zhang Naichi's eyes lit up. Could it be her? ! "Xiao Zhou, thank you, I'll go and have a look." "Yes, Mr. Zhang, you are busy and you are busy." The two waved goodbye politely. A week passed quickly.Li Weilian returned to China, but flew directly to Beijing.To everyone's surprise, Gilbert Jeccado seems to intend to locate the R&D center in Beijing, and Li Weilian went with him to discuss cooperation matters with relevant ministries and the Beijing Municipal Government and strive for more preferential policies.Also going to Beijing are the two main players of the new organizational structure: mark and raymond.As soon as he heard the news, Zhang Naichi was sure that Li Weilian would connect Mark and Zhongsheng Petrochemical, so Zhang Naichi's own existence value in West Bund Chemical would soon disappear.

But he is confident that he will never disappear in West Bund Chemical, and the decisive battle has just begun. Wednesday morning after another week. It was less than half past seven in the center of Shanghai, and the streets were still very quiet.As a fashion landmark in this area, rows of beautiful shops have not yet opened their doors to welcome customers. The blue-gray brick walls are spotless, and the sense of decoration far outweighs the real historical vicissitudes.The folded white parasols are leaning against the side of the wall, and the tables and chairs placed outdoors are gathered together. Those grotesque images at night seem to be still looming among them, adding a bit of loneliness and desertion to the hearts of people who pass by occasionally.The migrant workers on the morning shift are in a hurry, and most of them will stop at the only open starbucks for a while, buy a cup of coffee and continue on their way.

When Zhu Mingming rushed into the lobby of Ascott, he didn't hold coffee in his hand, and he didn't even put on makeup.Although the beige suit on her body was high-end, it did not add elegance to her at all. Today's Zhu Mingming, with his panic-stricken and dispirited appearance, is almost unrecognizable. Standing in the lobby, her whole body was trembling slightly, and she pressed the phone key with her cold fingers—please, answer the phone, answer the phone! "Hello, Maggie?" "William!" Zhu Mingming whispered with tears in his eyes, thank God he hadn't left the house yet, "William, I'm downstairs, I have something to tell you, right now!"

He hesitated for a moment: "Maggie, Zhou Feng will be here soon. If we have something to say, we can go to the company to talk, or you can wait a minute and go with me in my car." "No!" She called into the phone, "William, you can't go to the company, don't go! Don't go..." Holding back tears desperately, she said hastily: "Don't go to the company, I have very, very important things Talk to you. Just talk here, okay? Downstairs coffee shop or starbucks...please..." After a moment of silence, Li Weilian said, "Come up." Walking into the living room of Li Weilian's suite, Zhu Mingming's legs trembled even more.He was already dressed neatly, but he was not wearing a suit jacket. He led Zhu Mingming into the room, and Li Weilian looked at her in surprise: "Sit down first."

There was a pleasant aroma of coffee in the room, and Li Weilian poured a cup of coffee for Zhu Mingming: "Zhou Feng has already arrived downstairs, I just asked him to drive back to the company first, to pick up the materials prepared by Lisa. We It doesn't take long, does it? I have to set off with Raymond and the others at nine o'clock." Zhu Mingming picked up the coffee and took a sip, his hands were shaking so much that he splashed a lot of black liquid on the white tray.Li Weilian smiled: "It seems that you don't like the coffee I make...Maggie, what's the matter?"

His tone was so gentle, full of genuine concern.Zhu Mingming raised her head involuntarily - she had never seen anyone who could wear a light gray shirt so nicely like him. The reserved loneliness in his deep and luxurious masculinity always attracted her to be fascinated and unable to control herself.How much she looked forward to being embraced by him, using his loneliness to soothe her own loneliness, even if it was only for a short moment, it was enough to satisfy her... No, Zhu Mingming lowered her eyelids in despair, she understood that from now on I don't even have the right to dream like this.

Seeing that she still didn't speak, Li Weilian frowned slightly: "The problem seems to be quite serious?... Well, is it because you want to go to Beijing? Maggie, I haven't had a good chat with you about the arrangement for you to go to the R&D center. Chat. As you know, I just came back from Beijing in the middle of the night yesterday, and I really don’t have time... In fact, I have thought about it thoroughly. Of course, if you really don’t want to go to work in Beijing, you can also tell me clearly , let’s discuss other solutions.” Zhu Mingming seemed to be listening but not listening, her eyes glanced at the open laptop on the table, and she jumped up in surprise: "Is it eight o'clock?!"

Li Weilian was stunned: "Just arrived, what's the matter?" He also looked at his computer screen. "No! Don't read! Don't read the mail!" Zhu Mingming cried hysterically. Li Weilian's face darkened, he stared at Zhu Mingming closely: "Maggie, what's going on?" Zhu Mingming put his hands on his head, at this moment, Li Weilian's cell phone rang. He picked it up: "Lisa?" "William, where are you?" Lisa's tone completely lost her usual clarity and calmness, "You, did you read your email?" She asked with a crying voice.

Li Weilian started to read the email, Zhu Mingming buried his head in front of his chest and closed his eyes tightly, but he still seemed to be able to see his expression clearly. After a brief silence, she heard him talking—"Lisa, you call the data center in Los Angeles immediately and ask them to delete this email from the server." His voice was as calm as ever, but Zhu Mingming suddenly Tears were pouring down like rain, but she still heard the sound of a string breaking. She raised her head, Li Weilian was dialing the phone, he dialed several times in succession, but it seemed that he couldn't get through.Another phone call came in.

"Already deleted? Very good, Lisa, thank you... Don't worry about those who downloaded and forwarded, it's not a big deal. Also, please go to the garage to find Zhou Feng now. I just called him, but I can't get through .If you see him, ask him to contact me immediately... Well, don't worry about me, work as usual." The silence was a bit long this time, and it seemed to Zhu Mingming that a century had passed. "Did you know there was going to be this email?" She dared not answer. "Maggie, I'm asking you a question." Zhu Mingming nodded in despair, she felt that her whole body and mind were collapsing rapidly, and it was impossible to be saved. "Do you know the content of the email?" "No! I don't know!" she cried, tears streaming down her face, "It was last night that he, he was drunk, and said that today...today, before going to work, I will, I will give you one...I thought about it all night, I I can't... I..." "Him?" Li Weilian's voice was as cold as iron. Zhu Mingming cast a pleading look at him: "He is, he is..." "No, you don't need to tell me who he is." Li Weilian interrupted her with a sneer, "I already know it very well. What I don't know is—how did you end up with him?" Zhu Mingming opened her eyes wide in fear, she was speechless. Li Weilian leaned slightly towards her: "Maggie, what really confuses me this morning is why you? Did I do something wrong? Did I offend you because of my lack of consideration? Or..." "No! No!" Zhu Mingming burst into tears. He stared at her and shook his head: "It must be, there must be something I'm sorry for you. Otherwise, what can your tears represent? It must be an accusation against me." Zhu Mingming felt ashamed, but she didn't want to leave, because she knew that as long as she walked out of this door now, she might never see him again in this life. Li Weilian leaned back on the chair, until now he showed an extremely tired expression: "You go, don't let me see you again." Zhu Mingming left, leaving Li Weilian alone in the room.He sat motionless for a long time before picking up the phone. "Hi, Dad!" "Hi baby, I translated your poem into Chinese, I just sent it to you an hour ago, did you get it?" "Got it, Dad!" "Do you understand?" "Yes, now I can recite my poems in Chinese and English, which is great!" "My baby, I get up to work for you before six o'clock..." "Thanks Dad, that's very kind of you. I'll read it to you now, okay?" "it is good." "Well... let me practice first, and then I will read it to you!" "Anytime, anytime." "I'm going to take a shower, bye, Dad!" "Good night baby, I will always love you." He still has one more call to make. "Lisa, have you found Zhou Feng?" "No! I can't find him anywhere, and his cell phone can't be reached... Also, Raymond just asked me, is there any change in today's schedule?" "Well, please tell Raymond to come to Ascott to pick me up. Today's schedule will continue as originally planned. You can continue to find Zhou Feng and communicate with me at any time." Li Weilian walked to the window, the street scene was completely different from that when Zhu Mingming came just now, the endless flow of people intertwined with the bright spring scenery, forming a vivid picture of the city.A little further away, traffic jams began on the elevated road. He said to himself that every day is so repetitive and empty, and this kind of life is really not worth cherishing.
