"Is...is it him?"
A Ling was a little surprised. She turned back to look at Gu Nian and motioned to the person in front of her, which surprised her.
Gu Nian looked at Xiao Mo who came out of the car, and then looked at the back seat of the Maybach. Of course, Gu Nian knew at a glance that this car was Shi Ye's special car.
so......
Could it be that Shi Ye has been waiting for them?
Suddenly, Gu Nian felt a glimmer of hope in her heart. Even though they were strangers, Shi Ye gave her the greatest support in this situation.
However, she was a little worried.
Tonight, when Shi Ye helped her alleviate such a huge dilemma, she wanted to express her gratitude immediately.
only……
How could a simple "thank you" be worth the extra 10 million yuan Shi Ye paid for it? He didn't seem to deserve it at all.
But what else can she do?
No matter what, you should at least say thank you. This is the basic principle of life.
Gu Nian took a deep breath and was about to wait for Xiao Mo to open the door and face her nominally strange husband again.
At this moment, Xiao Mo walked up to Gu Nian and Aling, showed them his usual business smile again, and then opened the door of the back seat of the car.
Gu Nian was about to repay Shi Ye with her unspeakable gratitude, but found...
There was no one in the car at all!
Gu Nian looked inside carefully and once again confirmed the fact that Shi Ye was not in the car at all, an inexplicable feeling of loss arose in his heart from nowhere.
He's not in now.
strangeness! Why……
Would I expect him to be in the car?
The autumn in Yuncheng was very cold and bleak. No matter what kind of difficulties Gu Nian encountered, she always relied on herself to bear them.
Tonight was the first time someone was willing to help her. Like a mountain, it was the first time that Gu Nian felt solid and reliable.
But Gu Nian kept telling himself clearly in his heart that the only connection between them was just a contract.
Xiao Moxu understood the confusion and loneliness in Gu Nian's eyes and said:
"Mr. Shi just took another car and left first."
"He said that the two ladies were frightened tonight, so he asked me to take the responsibility of sending them home safely. Please get in the car!"
A Ling was a little at a loss. After all, this car was worth a lot of money at first glance. She was a little nervous and squeezed Gu Nian's hand.
Gu Nian quickly calmed down his thoughts and smiled at Aling.
"It's okay, we met a noble person to help us today. It's already midnight, and there won't be any buses, so just take this bus and go back first!"
"By the way, Miss Gu, there is a pair of sneakers I just bought in the car. You seem to have an injury on your foot. You can put them on if necessary." Xiao Mo looked at Gu Nian through the rearview mirror and said.
Only then did Gu Nian realize that there was indeed a shoe box on the seat next to him. When he opened it, he found it was a pair of brand new white flat shoes.
It wasn't until this moment that she realized again that her feet were in excruciating pain.
Although Xiao Mo didn't say anything mandatory, the reality did not allow Gu Nian to be polite.
"Oh my God! This gentleman is so considerate." A Ling couldn't help but sigh.
Gu Nian naturally understood in her heart that "this gentleman" must be Shi Ye. Without his instruction, Xiao Mo would not have made the decision on his own.
On Yuncheng Avenue, Shi Ye's Maybach once again shuttled on the empty road late at night.
There was still a faint smell of Shi Ye's perfume in the carriage.
Of course, Gu Nian didn't know what this smell was, but he just thought it was fresh and elegant, which fit Shi Ye's temperament very well.
After all, she does not belong to the class that can use expensive perfume, but the smell has been remembered by her from the first time she came into contact with Shi Ye.
The position where she was sitting now happened to be where Shi Ye was used to sitting. Gu Nian quietly felt the traces left by Shi Ye.
His cheeks felt slightly hot.
＊＊＊
Shi Ye's Maybach disappeared into the night.
Then, another car appeared opposite the bus stop where Gu Nian and Aling were staying.
Shi Ye was sitting in this car, driven by a driver from his company.
"Mr. Shi, I rushed here after receiving a temporary notice from Assistant Mo, but I still kept you waiting for so long. I'm really sorry."
The driver, Lao Wu, looked at the rearview mirror angrily and apologized.
Fortunately, Shi Ye still had no emotion, but his face was a little pale. He simply opened his mouth and said, "It's okay, take me back to the company."
"Mr. Shi, it's almost twelve o'clock. Are you sure you don't want to go home and take a rest?"
Shi Ye remained silent, took a deep breath, pressed down the car window, and let the autumn wind in the night flow into the car.
Anyone who is familiar with Shi Ye knows that he doesn't like to talk when he is worried.
The driver stopped talking, started the car, and drove forward.
In fact, just half an hour ago, Shi Ye asked Xiao Mo to park the car at the same location.
Moreover, he also ordered Xiao Mo to go to the nearest shoe store and ordered him to buy a pair of shoes that fit and put them in the car.
"Mr. Shi, it's getting late, how about I take you back first?" Xiao Mo asked.
"hold on."
Shi Ye said it simply and didn't make it clear what he wanted to do.
But Xiao Mo knew that Shi Ye was waiting for Gu Nian to come out.
Just as time passed by, Gu Nian and Aling just missed the last bus to leave, and then sat cuddling each other in the wind, shivering.
"Call Lao Wu and ask him to pick me up. Send them to their residence safely. Don't talk to anyone about today's matters." Shi Ye ordered.
"Mr. Shi, how about I send Miss Gu and her friends off before Lao Wu comes? I can't let you wait here!" Xiao Mo suggested boldly.
"It's okay. They are two girls. It's late at night and they have experienced some bad memories. If you send them, at least they can feel at ease!"
After saying that, Shi Ye didn't wait for Xiao Mo to get out of the car and open the door, then opened the back door of the car and walked out of the car.
Xiao Mo knew his boss's temper very well, so he had no choice but to do as he was told. After contacting the driver, Lao Wu, he turned the car and drove towards Gu Nian and the others.
When he arrived at the downstairs of Baichen Group Company, Shi Ye closed his eyes slightly. It wasn't until Old Wu shouted softly that he slowly opened his eyes.
"Okay, you worked overtime today. Remember to report the overtime pay to the logistics department tomorrow."
After speaking to Lao Wu, Shi Ye stepped out of the car and hid his slender figure in the company's light.
Shi Ye has always been a person who likes to pay attention to efficiency. He never allows others, let alone himself, to do endless and useless things in a limited time. Therefore, as a boss, he does not like or encourage the overtime culture.
Employees are allowed to get off work at certain times, but during working hours, he requires every employee to maximize efficiency.
After get off work, he would not easily disturb anyone if nothing happened.
Therefore, after the driver, Lao Wu, got off work, he was used to being undisturbed, so he did not receive a call from his assistant Xiao Mo immediately, leaving his boss to freeze in the autumn wind for almost an hour.
Of course, people like Shi Ye can manage not to disturb others. In fact, looking back, he is a person who does not like and does not allow people who are not allowed to intrude into his world in his private time. Extremists.
Don't ask, don't interfere, don't pry about my affairs.
Especially after returning to China, Shi Ye pursued such an independent style of conduct.
Therefore, when Chen Bishi tried to use Du Yucheng's short blue and white porcelain cheongsam to spy on Shi Ye's inner world, Shi Ye felt extremely disgusted.
Because that set of clothes was not only worn by Du Yucheng, but also a relic left by Shi Ye's mother.
Mother was his private territory that he carefully guarded and had always been locked up.
Anyone who dares to trespass will definitely end up with a very ugly death.
The whole building was dark. After Shi Ye returned to the office, he didn't turn on many lights.
Instead, he also pulled down the curtains on the floor-to-ceiling windows to block out the lighting from the city outside the window.
The whole office became darker.
...
Shi Ye sat quietly on his chair and looked ahead quietly.
On the calendar on the desk, the day tomorrow was specially marked with a mark.
And this mark was also burned into Shi Ye's heart.
Because tomorrow is the death anniversary of Shi Ye's mother.
But today is Shi Ye's birthday.
Since the death of his mother, Shi Ye has never celebrated a birthday again.
Because he always felt that as soon as his birthday passed, it would bring the day when his mother committed suicide...
This memory is like a nightmare.
He would rather give up his own special day than suffer so much.
But... even if he gave up celebrating his birthday, he was still so painful and lonely
For many years after his mother passed away, whenever he was lonely, Du Yucheng stayed by his side and gave him warmth.
And this year...
Du Yucheng also disappeared.
There was a "click" sound.
The projector at hand came on.
The entire wall was instantly covered with photos of my mother.
Then, Shi Ye buried his entire body in memories.
Memory moves backwards.
＊＊＊
"Mom, will you always stay with me?"
"Baby, of course mom can!"
"Mom, I will definitely become a person that makes you proud in the future. I will make grandpa's company the strongest!"
"Well, my baby is the best! Mommy believes in you!"
...
Shi Ye's memory is also like a slideshow.
Every photo of mom automatically carries all of Shi Ye’s dynamic memories.
Mom accompanied Shi Ye through the foggy streets of London, took him to visit Cambridge and Oxford universities, and prayed together in an old English castle church...
Shi Ye has loved to cuddle up in his mother's arms since he was a child, smelling her mother's unique and fresh perfume, and looking forward to his future endlessly.
However, on the second day of his fifteenth birthday, Shi Ye's mother Bai Lingchen was found to have committed suicide at home.
Shi Ye's father, Shi Wei'an, married his current wife, Zhu Murong, the second month after Shi Ye's mother passed away.
Not only that, until this moment, everyone knew that Shi Wei'an had an illegitimate child with Zhu Murong long ago.
That is, Shi Ye's half-brother - named Shi Mo.
At the same time, there was an even greater shock to Baichen Group.
From nowhere, Shi Weian took out an equity transfer letter signed by Shi Ye's mother, Bai Lingchen. After Bai Lingchen's death, all the shares, including her share of the largest inheritance rights, became Shi Weian's. All in one's name.
Moreover, Shi Weian sold some of the most promising project lands of Baichen Group to Zhu Group.
Grandpa Bai Junlin, who once wanted to retire and give up power, unfortunately suffered a stroke and was paralyzed in bed under the double blow of losing his daughter and losing his company.
Until now, she still lives in a nursing home with Shi Ye's grandmother.
Shi Weian naturally took over Baichen Group in the name of Shi Ye who was not yet an adult.
At that time, Shi Ye had just turned fifteen years old.
