The next day, Cheng Xi was at her workstation sorting out the boss's speech. The door to the office hall quietly opened, and the cold and mellow male fragrance entered her nose. She raised her head.
A bouquet of white tulips in full bloom covers half of his face, making the man in a white suit and trousers look fresh and elegant.
She was startled, then stood up to greet the man, "Is there still a meeting today?"
"I came specially to see you."
Ye Bonan showed his complete face.
"Sorry, I was busy with work yesterday and didn't take care of you." He put the bouquet of flowers in the file storage box on the upper right corner of the table. "The engagement didn't go well, did it?"
Cheng Xi smiled, "Something went wrong."
Ye Bonan couldn't help but laugh, "You smile happily, which proves that you are a good mistake."
"You must have known about it for a long time." She rubbed the stamens of the goose-yellow flower, which smelled faintly, "You have negotiated a deal with Zhou Jingchen."
His smile did not diminish but grew, "General Manager Zhou told you."
"He didn't tell me that I happened to be in the car when the driver reported his work." Cheng Xi pursed her lips, "500 million?"
"yes."
"Why?"
"Cherish the fragrance and cherish the jade, be compassionate." Ye Bonan said without any hesitation, "Does that count as a reason?"
She was amused, "Does it count?"
The man was calm and didn't care about the weight of 500 million. Instead, he tried every means to relieve her pressure, "You decide whether it counts."
Cheng Xi's heart was heavy.
Ye Bonan noticed that she looked nervous and unnatural, "Are you worried about the Geng family retaliating against me?"
She held the tulip in her hands and said nothing.
"There is Chief Engineer Zhou standing in front of me."
Cheng Xi still didn't say anything.
"You are angry." Ye Bonan finally realized, "Angry, he could obviously save you, but he used you to trade the order in my hand, causing you to be in fear for so many days. You put on a wedding robe for a man you don't love. For the first time in your life, An engagement ended sadly.”
She pinched the petals with some force and squeezed out the juice.
"Cheng Xi." Ye Bonan liked to call her name as always, solemnly and charmingly, "The process is not important, getting what you want is the most important."
He took out a tulip and handed it to her, "A girl is more beautiful when she smiles than when she doesn't."
Cheng Xi didn't take the flower, but smiled.
"Yes." Ye Bonan turned the flower branch, "I suddenly understood that King Zhou You was playing tricks on the princes. It was indeed worth the sacrifice of the country and the dynasty for a smile of praise."
"Mr. Ye." She restrained herself, "You are making fun of me."
"It's my fault." Ye Bonan raised his wrist to look at his watch, "You get off work at six o'clock?"
Cheng Xi wasn't sure, "Maybe at seven o'clock. I took too much leave and was making up for it."
"I'll wait for you outside the company at six o'clock."
She was stunned, "Wait for me?"
"I made fun of you, so I'll make amends with you." He waved sideways as he walked out, "See you in the evening."
Cheng Xi stood in the workstation in the cubicle, surrounded by chaos. The pure white tulips were fresh and refined, which was very eye-catching.
The secretarial department is at odds with each other, and the more private matters are hidden, the better. Placing such a large bouquet of flowers in the office lobby will be seen as a show off in the eyes of colleagues, and all kinds of jealousy and scandals will follow.
She picked up the bouquet and went downstairs through the deserted emergency passage.
Throwing the trash can would seem pretentious, and it would also ruin Ye Bonan's good intentions. After all, they were not 99 or 999 roses with special meanings, but just a bouquet of tulips for celebration.
Cheng Xi ran to the parking space and stuffed it into the back seat. It would be nice to take it back to the dormitory after get off work to decorate it, or keep it in the bathroom to get rid of the smell.
"Cheng Xi!" The little girl rushed over with a takeout box, "Did your boyfriend send you flowers?"
She explained calmly, "It's a female friend who left it at the front desk. Manager Ye helped bring it upstairs."
There was more than one employee in the general office, Cheng Xi. Ye Bonan couldn't hide the flowers from her, so she might as well do it herself.
He lied to cover up, and his colleagues made even more wild guesses.
"Look at that red Ferrari!" The little girl poked Cheng Xi's arm, "It's Nancy! The person in charge of the Greater China region of the overseas company."
Nancy met Cheng Xi at the wedding of "Xiao Li Family". Together with Ye Bonan, the atmosphere between the three of them was subtle. She probably still remembers it.
Cheng Xi put his head aside and avoided her.
"Nancy is so angry!" The little girl shrank her neck, "I heard from Sister Lan that Mr. Ye's order has gone bad. Yunnan Airlines Group signed a transfer contract, and Mr. Zhou's Beihang Group took over. Is Mr. Zhou right? What did you use to catch Mr. Ye?"
Having learned a lesson, Cheng Xi no longer trusts his colleagues, including the little girl, and only responds perfunctorily, "You are so well-informed, I haven't heard about it."
Nancy is looking for Ye Bonan to settle accounts.
She went to Yunhang Group, but Ye Bonan was not there, so she went to his residence again. The security guard said that he had not been home for a week.
So Nancy came to Joel to block him again.
Still in vain.
Finally, she found Cheng Xi.
"Have you seen him these days?"
Ye Bonan avoided her, Cheng Xi certainly wouldn't betray her, "I haven't seen him before."
"My intuition -" Nancy bent down and looked at Cheng Xi, "He played a trick and gave the order to Beihang Group. It has something to do with you."
Cheng Xi sat on the office chair, "I don't know Mr. Ye's business."
Nancy smiled and twirled her secretary's badge, "A woman who doesn't know the heights of the world often doesn't know how badly she has fallen into the hands of a ruthless person." Nancy leaned forward slightly and pressed against Cheng Xi's chest. Ear, "Steal my man, does Miss Cheng have the life to enjoy him?"
Nancy straightened up slowly, "I'm only warning you once."
...
At half past five, Cheng Xi left work early.
After coming out of Joel Building, she was about to contact Ye Bonan when her movements suddenly froze.
In the parking lot opposite, Zhou Jingchen was leaning on the front of her car, smoking.
Their eyes met, he held a cigarette between his fingers and looked elsewhere.
Cheng Xi walked down the steps and walked over.
"Who to call?" Zhou Jingchen never looked at her, his eyes fell on the wedding dress display window of the building next door.
"a friend."
He lowered his hands to dust off the cigarette and followed Xing Xingzi, "Take you to the hospital."
Before the engagement was officially terminated, she and Geng Shiqing had to meet. The parents of the two families settled the gift money. The man and the woman stated that they broke up voluntarily and peacefully, promising that both parties would not blame or complain, and that would be the end of it.
The Geng family needs this reassurance.
