Ye Lingshuang smiled and said:
"I bought these for my uncle. Please bring them to my uncle. You must not be embezzled."
Li Jiahao was very touched, but he was still polite.
"Didn't he just buy a lot when he came here a few days ago? There's no need to buy more! I can't take away so much."
Ye Lingshuang didn't listen to him. After starting the vehicle, she said to him:
"When you came to Dongrun, you could take more than ten suitcases with you. My suitcase was not full yet, so you said you couldn't take it with you. Isn't it obvious that you were lying?"
Li Jiahao smiled a little awkwardly.
"You are too polite. Aren't I afraid that you will spend money?"
Ye Lingshuang seemed angry.
"What's the relationship between the two of us? You help me earn so much money, so buying this thing is a waste? Let me tell you, if you are too polite, our relationship will become estranged."
Upon hearing this, Li Jiahao quickly apologized.
"I take back what I just said. The more things like these, the better. I promise not to leave any behind."
Seeing his serious look, Ye Lingshuang couldn't help but laugh.
"That's what you said. Don't complain about having too many things when you get to the airport."
"Absolutely no complaints."
Li Jiahao was so confident that when he got off the bus at the airport, he was really dumbfounded. The Mercedes-Benz of Dongfang Xiangqi following Ye Lingshuang's car was also packed full of gifts for Li Jiahao.
These gifts, in addition to those given in the name of the company, also include the personal wishes of Ye Lingshuang and Dongfang Xiangqi, and even a skin care product sent by Jiao Meiyu, which Ye Lingshuang specifically told Ye Lingshuang to tell was for Li Jiahao's mother.
Li Jiahao hesitated for a moment and also expressed his gratitude.
Fortunately, time allowed, the three of them went through the check-in procedures together, and then said goodbye at the boarding gate.
Looking at the plane taking off, Ye Lingshuang had a lot of thoughts. When Li Jiahao returned to China, except for a few days when he went home, he and Ye Lingshuang were together almost every day.
The time didn't add up to much, just over a month, but she was a little reluctant to let go. Even though Li Jiahao clearly told her that he would be back in a few days, she felt that these few days were quite long, and she even asked him to catch up tomorrow. The thought of coming back is just a thought.
She pulled back from her thoughts when she saw Dongfang Xiangqi standing beside her.
"He'll be back soon."
Dongfang Xiangqi seemed to have read through her thoughts, and his seemingly understated reminder made Ye Lingshuang tremble.
Dongfang Xiangqi is the person he misses day and night. He is clearly standing beside him, but why is it that Li Jiahao who takes the opportunity to fly away is the one he misses most?
She did not say anything to Dongfang Xiangqi, but walked out of the airport with him side by side until they reached the parking lot. When she opened the car door, Dongfang Xiangqi broke the silence again.
"Are you going back to the company? If not, let's find a place to chat."
Ye Lingshuang planned to go to the kimchi restaurant in the afternoon. Since Li Jiahao had told her, she could no longer be a hands-off shopkeeper. She had to see if Su Tingting needed any help.
"If you don't go back, let's find a cafe nearby."
The two got in the car, found a coffee shop near the airport, sat in a corner, and each ordered a latte.
Compared with yesterday, Dongfang Xiangqi's expression was much better, and he had basically restored his previous demeanor, cold, cool, and handsome. This was an image that Ye Lingshuang would never forget.
However, this image was deeply rooted in her bones like an idol. When bidding farewell to Li Jiahao, this person was clearly standing beside her, but he did not appear in her mind. It was Li Jiahao who could not be forgotten. .
At that moment, she had doubts about her idol complex. She suspected that she only liked Dongfang Xiangqi out of general idol worship and did not regard him as the object of her love.
But this idea was extremely subtle. She was neither willing to affirm nor deny it. She actually had extremely tangled feelings in her heart, but she couldn't express it to the person in front of her. She couldn't even find anyone to talk to.
Thinking of Liu Sha, she might be able to express her feelings in front of Liu Sha, but she would never be able to give her appropriate advice. Although she has never been in love, she knows that emotional matters can only be solved by herself, and no one can help.
Just like Liu Sha liked Lin Weiming at first, but Lin Weiming was indifferent to her. She reminded Liu Sha many times overtly and secretly, and not to persist in it, otherwise she would end up with bruises all over her body.
However, Liu Sha kept insisting, fearing that Lin Weiming would turn a blind eye to her or even avoid her on purpose. She would go to Yuelai Restaurant to eat noodles every day, just to use this as an excuse to meet him.
Liu Sha's persistence was indeed commendable, and she finally moved Lin Weiming. At least the two of them are very close now. As for the outcome, let's leave it to fate.
She was very open-minded about other people's feelings, but once it fell on her, she was confused.
Seeing her silence, Dongfang Xiangqi was the first to break the silence.
"He'll be back soon."
Again.
Ye Lingshuang became even more confused. She even began to guess that Dongfang Xiangqi had really seen through her thoughts and said silently:
"I know. He has explained all the work here and there will be no delays. He will fly back after the arrangements are made over there."
Ye Lingshuang obviously used work as an excuse to change the subject, but Dongfang Xiangqi couldn't say anything like this. As for whether it was because of work, Ye Lingshuang actually didn't know.
"I want to talk to you, not about work."
Ye Lingshuang suddenly raised her head and looked at Dongfang Xiangqi. Since she was not talking about work, he must have wanted to talk about personal matters. At this moment, she even guessed that Dongfang Xiangqi would talk about the relationship between the two of them. After thinking about it, she realized that she had indeed thought too much.
Dongfang Xiangqi's own affairs are now in a mess, many things cannot be sorted out, unclear, and unsolvable. How can he have the heart to talk about the relationship between them, not to mention that the relationship between them has never really started.
In Dongfang Xiangqi's heart, Lin Weiya is his girlfriend, but this girlfriend has already fallen into the arms of his second brother. I am afraid this will be something he will never forget for a long time and will always be a knot in his heart.
"Yesterday was the Lantern Festival. Thank you for the blessings you sent me. It was a little late when I saw the blessings, and it was too late to reply to you."
Ye Lingshuang then remembered that when Dongfang Xiangqi replied "Happy Lantern Festival" to him, it was almost 12 o'clock in the middle of the night. By that time, she had already fallen asleep. It was only a few minutes before this blessing was late. She saw this reply message when she woke up this morning, but she was still very relieved that he finally replied.
"Why are you still up so late?"
She didn't blame him for returning the message late, but was worried about why he slept late.
Dongfang Xiangqi drank the coffee in the cup in one gulp, asked the waiter for another cup, and then said:
"We had dinner at my father's place last night. The three of us brothers were all there. We didn't leave immediately after the meal. We all spent the holidays with my father. We talked about a lot, from work to life, and even the marriages of our three brothers. It’s nonsense, scattered and has no key points, so the time is naturally late. I saw the message you sent, but fortunately I replied in time, otherwise I would have missed the Lantern Festival. "
"It doesn't matter."
Ye Lingshuang felt uncomfortable even though she said it didn't matter. No matter as colleagues before or now, we should care about each other. Last night, after she sent out her blessings, most people responded in time. A small number of people sent it to her in advance, and the last person to reply and wish her well was Dongfang Xiangqi.
If he didn't have something important to do, he would definitely reply to her as soon as possible, but no.
Ye Lingshuang felt very disappointed, but what she said was not the focus of her words.
"Is it what the family is talking about that bothers you?"
Dongfang Xiangqi nodded.
"I didn't tell them that I had recovered my previous memories. My father no longer had any hope in me. He planned to focus on training his second brother and hand over the shipping group to him in the future."
Ye Lingshuang suddenly became a little anxious.
"You don't have to tell the second and third brothers, but you must tell your father and let him know your current situation so that he can make a correct assessment of you. I believe that after he knows the truth, he will not necessarily treat the shipbuilding group as I will give it to my second brother. Your father used to focus on training you, and you are the most promising."
Dongfang Xiangqi shook his head, with a smile on his lips. From Ye Lingshuang's perspective, it was a bitter smile.
"There is really not much hope. My father has never relied on subjective judgment and made decisions based on facts. Strength and representative ability are the rules of his success over the years, which has allowed the Shipbuilding Group to operate steadily and steadily, step by step. I have persisted until now. Subjectively, he is indeed a little biased towards me, but this was before. In order to prove that I do have such ability and ensure that he did not make mistakes in judgment, the three of us launched a sales competition last year. Although in this competition Zhong, you helped me a lot, and I didn’t win. Of course, my second brother didn’t fail either.”
Thinking of that sales competition, while Ye Lingshuang tried her best to help Dongfang Xiangqi with her business, she also inadvertently helped Dongfang Xiangrui and Dongfang Xianglin. Fortunately, Dongfang Xianglin stepped forward to disrupt the situation. If not, Dongfang Xiangrui would have already determined the successor to the new chairman.
She now even speculates that it was precisely because of Wanghai Company's extraordinary performance that time that Dongfang Xiangrui's position in the mind of the old chairman was confirmed, posing a threat to Dongfang Xiangrui.
This time, the old chairman intended to train Dongfang Xiangrui to take over the shipping group in the future, and excluded Dongfang Xiangrui. It must be said that it was related to the car accident that Dongfang Xiangrui suffered. On the other hand, Ye Lingshuang felt that she was not helping, so she pushed Dongfang Xiangrui.
She blames herself for this.
"This result may really have something to do with me. I will immediately stop cooperation with Wanghai Company and Fahai Company, and I no longer want to advertise for them."
Until now, Liu Sha is still advertising for the shipping group while delivering goods live. Of course, these two advertisements came from Wanghai Company and Fahai Company respectively. Although these two companies are no longer affiliated with the shipping group, their actual controllers are still Dongfang Xiangrui and Dongfang Xianglin.
