Just like what Jiang Haokun said when the Reef Restaurant opened last time, if the studio cannot win the contract from Mr. Dayun Wang, it will soon close down, unless she mortgages the house, so that she may be able to hold on for a while.
After originally showing the renderings with Japanese and Chinese decoration elements to Mr. Wang, he liked it very much. The two parties had already negotiated the price, and only the signing process was left. But three days ago, Mr. Wang suddenly called. Although there was no She said she regretted it, but the meaning behind her words disappointed her.
She couldn't figure out why this was happening. She made a phone call yesterday but didn't get an accurate reply. The next time she called, the secretary answered.
She really had no choice but to ask Jiang Haokun for help. She thought that since he knew about Mr. Dayun Wang's situation, he might ask a friend to ask what Dayun meant. The old man was rich and could take his time and consider the long term. She The studio is too much to bear.
Lin Yue said: "For the sake of the husband and wife's gratitude for a day and a hundred days, well, I will tell you clearly that Mr. Dayun Wang's wife, Ms. Mikami, is a frequent visitor to the Reef Restaurant. She was competing in the cooking competition that day. I also participated, so do you think you were very close to Lu Yuan on the field, and he was going to chop me and Steven with a knife, how would Miss Mikami feel when she saw this scene?"
Gan Jing understood immediately.
She has a very good relationship with Lu Yuan and knows how infatuated he is and how much he cares about her, but will others think so? Others will only remember Lu Yuan as a man who was caught smuggling passports. After returning to China, he used deception to drive Steven away from the Gray Whale restaurant. He also killed his good friend Peng Hai and took his little friend with him. The first thing Taimei did after coming back was to pretend to be the old lady's son and wanted to send him to a nursing home so that he and little Taimei could occupy the old bungalow on Hunan Road.
When Mikami went back to his pillow and the wind blew, Mr. Wang would naturally have the idea of giving up on signing the contract.
"Haokun, since Miss Mikami is a frequent visitor to Reef Restaurant, can you give me her phone number?"
"What are you thinking? Why should I sacrifice the reputation of the restaurant for you? Gan Jing, when you and Lu Yuan went to the United States, you lived in a basement house and ate cold hamburgers. Didn't you live a good life? The studio is right Are you that important?"
Lin Yue wanted to laugh. In the TV series, Jiang Haokun asked Gan Jing to be a full-time housewife after getting married. She was very resistant at first and wanted to continue her career, otherwise there would be no point in going to school in the United States. However, the real situation is Her studio was opened with the help of Jiang Haokun, and the money-making contracts were given to her by clients for the sake of the Jiang Group. On the one hand, she enjoyed the benefits brought by the wealthy family, and on the other hand, she acted like a wealthy person. She is a strong woman who is independent and independent, and she is really cute when she is both assertive and independent.
"By the way, I haven't asked you yet, how are you getting along with Lu Yuan?"
"..."
The woman opposite was silent for about ten seconds, then hung up the phone with a bang.
Xu Lan, who had been closing her eyes to rest, opened her eyes, looked at Lin Yue's side face and said, "Haokun, you have finally grown up."
Lin Yue raised his head and glanced at the rearview mirror, noticing the pleased smile on Xu Lan's face.
Women look at women just like men look at men, very accurately.
He knew what Xu Lan was thinking - Jiang Haokun now was what a heir to a tens of billions group should look like.
To be fair, would the super rich restrain their sons from picking up women? 99% of people will not do this, because the more women they date, the more rational and restrained they will be in the matter of love. They will not get carried away because of the little tricks of green tea bitches, which will bring trouble to their lives and the entire family. Come on, when the word PUA is mentioned online, the first thing many people think of is a scumbag playing with women, but are only men doing this? One of the main reasons is that if a woman is PUA, she will yell at a scumbag, making it known to everyone in her circle of friends, while if a man is PUA, he usually chooses to remain silent because it is too embarrassing to speak out.
Jiang Haokun in the TV series does not look like the heir of a tens of billions group. He is just a CEO persona implanted in a licking dog.
grown up?
Lin Yuexin said that from an ideological point of view, I am not your useless son.
…
On the same day, a piece of news leaked out through an unknown channel and spread online.
Jiang Zhihua, the head of the Jiang Group, and his wife Xu Lan are divorcing.
Public opinion was in an uproar.
People who didn't know about the Jiang Group and Jiang Zhihua originally knew a little bit about it because of the cooking challenge a few days ago. Now that this explosive news came out, everyone couldn't help but suddenly realized that no wonder the brother and sister were in such trouble. It turned out that Jiang Zhihua and Xu Lan had been at odds for a long time, and their divorce would bring great joy to Jiang's group.
The chairman wants a divorce, not the cats and dogs.
Ever since the brother and sister had a conflict and Jiang Haokun resigned as the president of the group, the stock price of Jiang Group has continued to fall. Jiang Zhihua only managed to maintain the situation when he came back. As soon as the news of their divorce came out, the company's stock price dropped sharply at the opening of the market the next day. I can't even pull it up.
Jiang Zhihua convened an emergency board meeting and called on directors and major shareholders to buy back the company's shares to prevent the stock price from falling. Before the market closed in the afternoon, it finally stabilized and rebounded, recovering some of the decline.
However, one day later, news spread online that Xu Lan sued Jiang Zhihua for transferring property and asked the court to freeze the property under their names. This time, the Jiang Group's stock price plummeted.
The fact that two people are getting divorced appears on the Internet, which can be said to be gossip, and a divorce may not necessarily result in a real divorce. People with a wealth like Jiang Zhihua rarely actually go their separate ways. The most common result is to reach an agreement on property matters. From now on, everyone will play their own part in the settlement agreement. The reason why the news broke out is that in most cases the woman thinks that the man’s offer is low and wants to show off.
But the second piece of news is different. Since it goes to court for accusing one party of transferring property, it is not just a feint, but a real move. It cannot be said that there is no room for maneuver, but there is a high probability that it will lead to a split. , until they turned against each other and became enemies.
Some people who are sensitive to power struggles began to think about a problem. Once Jiang Zhihua and Xu Lan divorced, the latter was a prostitute and was weak in management. But her son Jiang Haokun, who had been the president of the Jiang Group for several years, would not be able to succeed in the future. What kind of changes will happen to each company is an interesting thing to watch.
…
Or the cafe across the street from the rehabilitation hospital.
Or Xu Li and Gan Jing.
Different from last time, this time Xu Li invited Gan Jing over for coffee.
Calculating the time, it has been nearly half a month since the cooking challenge. This is the first time the two of them have met. The atmosphere in the venue seemed to be infected by their emotions, which seemed a bit awkward.
"Gan Jing, how are you and Lu Yuan... going?"
"You asked me to come over for coffee just to ask about my situation with Lu Yuan?"
Just as Xu Li was about to answer, a waiter in a suit and vest came over with a plate, placed the American coffee in front of Gan Jing, and placed the caramel macchiato in front of Xu Li.
“Your Americano, your Caramel Macchiato.”
Then he said "please use it slowly", picked up the plate and left.
Gan Jing watched Xu Li pick up the coffee cup and took a sip, then asked curiously: "Don't you like sweet drinks?"
Xu Li put down the cup, lowered her head and said meaningfully: "Can I change the taste?"
Gan Jing frowned, feeling that her answer seemed like a drunkard who was not interested in drinking.
"You haven't answered my question yet."
Xu Li brought the topic back to Lu Yuan.
Gan Jing pondered for a moment: "It's...impossible for us."
"Why?" Xu Li looked puzzled: "Didn't Jiang Haokun say that Lu Yuan disappeared because he didn't want you to worry about money. Later, he didn't let Jiang Haokun tell you the truth. His original intention was to allow you to complete your studies safely. He loves you so much, and now he has returned to China. It's a little late, but from your point of view, I really can't find a reason to give up on him."
Gan Jing fiddled with the coffee cup without sugar and said: "Before, in the United States, Lu Yuan and I had no money. During the poorest period, we couldn't even pay the rent. A hamburger could be split into two people. He went to buy coffee. When I was eating, I would lie to him and say that I like to add sugar and milk, because doing so would prevent us from getting hungry so quickly.”
Xu Li folded her hands together on her knees, and her eyes fell on the glass of Americano in front of her best friend.
She just said something meaningful, but Gan Jing didn't expect that Gan Jing would also retaliate to her in a roundabout way.
Gan Jing raised his head and looked at her seriously: "Xu Li, we are best friends, there is no need to chat in this way. I know why you invited me to drink coffee and inquired about my progress with Lu Yuan."
Xu Li's folded hands clenched tighter.
"Gan Jing, I'm really curious about the current situation between you and Lu Yuan."
"Yes, this is the reason why you invited me to drink coffee. It's not a lie, but your true intention is to use the answer to this question to plan the next step, right?" Gan Jing has always been gentle, but today When facing her best friend, she showed a strong offensive attitude: "Xu Li, you are a psychiatrist. You should know that these thoughts cannot be hidden from me, but you still do it. That can only mean one thing. You You are considering your relationship with him very seriously, answer me, do you like Jiang Haokun?"
Xu Li was a little panicked. As Gan Jing said, as a psychiatrist, she should have thought about the consequences of this conversation. However, she struggled and struggled, and finally luck prevailed. She expected Gan Jing and Lu Yuan tried to make peace again and threw Jiang Haokun aside. Gan Jing in this state would definitely not be so sensitive to her purpose. Now it seems that her wish has failed.
"No...no, how is that possible? I'm just a little worried about his condition. As you know, he is my patient. As a psychiatrist, we are not allowed to get entangled with the patient."
Obviously, these words could not convince Gan Jing.
"That day at the cooking challenge, he told me not to let me stand in the way of the two of you. He seemed to know about our conversation before. Did you tell him this?"
Xu Li shook her head and said: "No... really not."
She was telling the truth. Even if it came to a higher level, her relationship with Jiang Haokun was only in the ambiguous period. How could she tell Jiang Haokun such an idea of exposing her own thoughts?
Fortunately, what Jiang Haokun said to Gan Jing showed his attitude.
but……
The question is what Gan Jing's attitude is towards this. She doesn't want to give up the relationship of being best friends for so many years just because she likes someone. What's more, she and Jiang Haokun... haven't reached the stage of confirming their relationship yet. Even if they confirm their relationship, they may not be able to get married.
As the saying goes, love is temporary, but best friends are lifelong.
Gan Jing deliberately followed her words and said: "It's okay if you don't, I believe you can be measured in this matter. Haokun's side... I know he is angry about my attitude towards Lu Yuan, what happened at the birthday party I will find a time to apologize to him, and as long as he can accept it again, I will promise him never to see Lu Yuan again."
Gan Jing didn't drink the glass of Americano. He stood up and picked up his bag to leave.
Xu Li sat there motionless because Gan Jing's answer shattered all her hopes.
First of all, the two are very good best friends, and she is unwilling to do such a multiple-choice question about love.
Secondly, what is her identity? A divorced woman, even if she has no children, has much inferior rigid conditions than a woman like Gan Jing who gave her first time to Jiang Haokun. And with Jiang Haokun's identity, Xu Lan would let him marry a second-married woman?
Furthermore, after all, Jiang Haokun and Gan Jing had been boyfriend and girlfriend for three years, and their feelings were there. How could she fight with Gan Jing, a person she had only been in contact with for a few days?
So she is very unsure about this matter.
It's hard to imagine that as a psychiatrist, she would become so sensitive. It is indeed correct to say that doctors do not heal themselves.
"Is it really impossible for you and Lu Yuan?"
She didn't react until Gan Jing almost reached the stairs and asked.
"Xu Li, people will change. In fact, after Jiang Haokun told the reason why Lu Yuan disappeared suddenly, I felt relieved. Maybe... I just want to ask why. I remember telling you before that as a woman, the most important thing is What you should learn is what to do at what age.”
Gan Jing left.
Da~da~da~
The sound of high heels hitting the floor gradually disappeared.
Xu Li picked up the coffee cup on the coffee table and took a sip. It felt more bitter than American coffee without sugar.
at the same time.
Reef Restaurant Manager's Office.
Lin Yue handed the contract to Dang Qian and asked her to negotiate with the supplier. He turned his chair, turned his back to the door and faced the blue sky, with a sneer on his lips.
At what age do you do what?
I smoke, drink and get tattoos, but am I a good girl?
I sell my art and my body. When I get older, I can go home and find an honest person to take over my job?
Many women, when they were young and beautiful, relied on good hardware to serve rich men, buy and sell luxury cars, travel around the world, shop, eat, drink and have fun. When they get older, they still ask honest people to marry not to become bad, but to be loyal to the marriage and do it. From beginning to end, haha...
Of course, Gan Jing is better than the women mentioned above, but he hates women playing tricks in front of him. He has to find a way to make her lose everything... No, he has to let her shoot himself in the foot. Fun.
…
after one day.
Around 9pm.
The fifth floor of Shengshi Binjiang Community.
Dong Dong Dong~
Dong Dong Dong~
Lin Yue knocked on Gan Jing's door.
Almost a minute passed before the door opened from the inside. Gan Jing, dressed in casual clothes, appeared in his field of vision. He must have just taken a shower. His hair was wet and he hadn't had time to dry it. There was a smell of shampoo floating in the breeze. A blend of shampoo and shower gel.
"How did you..."
"Why am I here?" Lin Yue pushed her back very rudely, walked into the room and closed the door: "Is it you?"
"What is not me?"
"Did you say something to Xu Li? Otherwise, why has she been so uncharacteristically cold towards me in the past two days?"
Gan Jing did not answer the question immediately. He took two steps towards the restaurant and suddenly stopped and turned back: "Yes, I asked her to stay away from you."
Lin Yue said angrily: "Gan Jing, are you sick? We have broken up. I am free to contact whomever I like. Why do you want to interfere with it? Do you want to take revenge on me? To take revenge on me for losing Lu Yuan's Work? To embarrass him in public?"
"Haokun, you are wrong. I didn't do this for Lu Yuan."
"If it's not for Lu Yuan, then who is it for?"
Gan Jing walked up to him, looked into his eyes and said, "It's for myself."
"For you... yourself?"
"How about we get back together?"
"..."
Lin Yue looked stunned, as if he didn't expect her to say such words.
"I did something wrong at the birthday party. I shouldn't have made it difficult for you to get off the stage in front of so many people. I have been thinking about Lu Yuan and I for so many days. At first, I couldn't understand that I had feelings for him. What kind of emotion, the reason why I care more about him is because he is not as capable as you and can arrange his own life. Even if my relationship with him is in the past tense, we are still friends after all, right? Until During the cooking challenge, you told me the reason for his sudden disappearance, and then I realized that he was just a demon in my past that I couldn't let go of. I don't know why, but about the fact that he was willing to hide and go to jail in order for me to complete my studies. More I feel grateful and angry, and I have completely lost all those thoughts in the past. To this day, I feel more indebted to him... but to you... Seeing Xu Li and you getting closer, I began to I was anxious and started to get nervous, and then I realized who is more important to me, you or Lu Yuan, so I'm sorry, I hope you can forgive me."
Gan Jing's posture was very stiff, and there was a slight trembling in his words. He didn't know whether it was because he was afraid of being rejected, or because he had never surrendered to Jiang Haokun before. It was his first time doing this today, and he was inevitably nervous and anxious.
Lin Yue asked: "So you found Xu Li and asked her to give up on her own initiative to help you in this matter, right? Do you think that as long as Xu Li is gone, you and I can go back to the past?"
"Yes, that's what I thought."
Well, regardless of whether she is selfish or not, at least she is honest on this issue.
"Lu Yuan was imprisoned in the detention center. You were busy begging me to let him go. Then you gave him recipes and helped find an old lady. When I was imprisoned in the detention center, what did you do for me? Nothing. Right? Not only do you not have you, but you also spend all your energy on the psychological problems of Peng Jiahe and Lu Yuan. If I am strong, I should be ignored, and if he is weak, he should be cared about, right? Gan Jing, a woman like you who can’t handle things well, or Don't delay a man's kindness. Ha, it's really interesting to think about it. You and Jiang Lai, one hurts her real boyfriend for her ex-boyfriend, and the other hurts his family for the person he likes. "
After saying this, he turned and left.
Gan Jing grabbed him and said, "Don't leave."
She knew very well that if she couldn't solve the problem today and let him go, there would be no possibility for the two of them in the future.
Lin Yue paused for a moment with his back to her, then suddenly turned his head and said in a deep voice: "I can consider getting back together with you, but I have a condition."
She suppressed her inner excitement and said, "What are the conditions?"
Lin Yue moved forward and whispered something.
Gan Jing's expression changed: "No!"
