“You, don’t you cry, I didn’t mean to, I just ……”
Lin Fang smiled miserably, “I know, it’s my own fault. I was thinking about the days when you used to be so nice to me, all gone, but that can’t be blamed on you, nor on Xiao Xiao, it’s all my own bad. Zhang Chao, don’t be so hostile to me, I really had a hard time at that time. However, you should hate me too, after all, I deserved it.”
She left me speechless for a moment, unable to speak. The car slowly pulled up to the downstairs of Junran, and I looked at Junran’s building with mixed feelings in my heart.
“Lin Fang, I used to trust you, and it did hurt me that you lied to me. But that’s all in the past, I just want to ask you one thing, from now on, can you really treat me as a friend and never betray me again.”
Lin Fang said excitedly, “Of course! I’ve always regretted what happened that day and I’d love to apologise to you, give me another chance and I’ll definitely make it up to you.”
If it were in the past, I would not have believed that Lin Fang would speak to me like this, that she, a goddess of high and immaculate status, would say such things to me.
But at the moment I had no ripples in my heart. I took another look at Junran’s building and I said, “Do you want to come up and have a cup of tea with me? Or would you rather go back to the office before you get marked absent from work.”
Lin Fang lowered her eyebrows, “Will you drive me back?”
“Depends on what you think.” I said with a heavy heart, taking a deep breath.
“Are we making up? Is it okay if I want to visit Surran?”
After she said that, I didn’t know what expression to use to face Lin Fang for a while, and only after a long time did I smile in relief, “Okay, you can come upstairs with me.”
Lin Fang was puzzled by my shaking her head one moment and smiling the next, but when she heard me invite her to Junran, she felt better all of a sudden and smiled along with me.
Junran’s receptionist today was not Lin Yue’er, but Lao Gan had already said hello and told the receptionist to let me in secretly, and the matter would not be known to Liu Rong.
The receptionist opened the lift for me, and I asked in pa*sing, “Is Lin Yue’er off today?”
I didn’t expect the receptionist’s face to change abruptly, and he froze for a moment, stammering: “She, she quit. I don’t know exactly ……”
After saying that, she hurriedly exited the lift, and it was too late for me to pursue the question, as the lift doors closed and the lift had already started to go up.
But I couldn’t be wrong, her face was very flustered, it was obvious that Lin Yueer was out of something.
If it wasn’t for Lin Yue’er’s help that day, I wouldn’t have been able to save Lao Gan so smoothly. What happened to Lin Yue’er? She couldn’t have been implicated in the incident that day, could she? No, I have to ask Lao Gan about it later.
Lin Fang kept looking at me, not quite understanding why I was looking so sad, and I didn’t want to tell Lin Fang about it.
Soon the lift arrived and Lao Gan was waiting for me and greeted me with a quick step.
“How did it go?” I asked.
Old Gan looked at Lin Fang, whom he didn’t know and didn’t know if Lin Fang could be trusted.
“This is my high school friend, her name is Lin Fang.” I said.
Old Gan’s expression was instantly brilliant, my affair with Lin Fang had become so much of a ruckus that even the people at Lu Tong knew about it, how could Old Gan, as a senior member of Junran, not know about the news about me, the young proprietor?
But in front of Lin Fang, he couldn’t ask anything more.
“Hello hello, it’s true that handsome men are surrounded by beautiful women.” Old Gan said a few polite words and then shouted, “Secretary Wu, you take this beauty to rest for a while first.”
Lin Fang looked at me in panic, a bit scared. Old Gan, whose old fox attributes reappeared at this time, put on his kindly old man face and said to Lin Fang, “You go have a cup of tea with the secretary first, I am old and in a hurry to go to the toilet, I will be there later. We are in a tight schedule now, so we can only condescend to the young proprietor and I to go to the toilet, and let’s hurry up and talk things over.”
Lin Fang was no match for Old Gan, and being deceived, he nodded and left with Secretary Wu.
“Old Gan, you’re too good at acting, you even use urination.”
As we walked towards the toilet, I teased Lao Gan.
Lao Gan gave me a blank look, “You keep such a woman around? With your condition, what kind of women do you have?”
“Come on Lao Gan, just stop it, I know what’s in my heart. Tell me, what is the situation now?”
“Liu Rong suddenly wants to hold a shareholders’ meeting, and apart from Han Kun, people have basically arrived.”
“Not good, Liu Rong can convince so many shareholders to attend the meeting, has he already made some kind of agreement with them in private?”
Old Gan said anxiously, “I thought so too! Hey, I’ve made all the arrangements and everyone has said that they will be loyal to Lawyer Han, but who knows, at this very moment, there is a rumour from someone that Lawyer Han has had an accident in Denmark and he is no longer here!”
I knew it was a lie, but when Old Gan said that, my heart thumped, my ears perked up, my eyes went black and I could barely stand.
Ever since my dad left, I had always thought of Han Kun as a father figure, and if something had really happened to him ……
“Nothing will happen to Uncle Han, if something happened to him, it would definitely not be the gossip in the company, Liu Rong would definitely make a big deal out of it.” I forced myself to calm down.
Lao Gan said, “Yes, Han Kun must still be alive. But he’s never been out of touch before. He used to go to Denmark, and even if he couldn’t come back, he would never be out of touch. I’ve already asked someone to look for him, so don’t worry, there will be good news. What’s important now is still here at the company, Liu Rong is forcing his hand, those few shareholders have heard the rumours, I don’t know if they will turn against us, we are in a very tense situation.”
“Old Gan, what are you doing hiding here?” Just then, Liu Rong’s voice unexpectedly came into the toilet.
I quickly winked at Lao Gan, then dived into a cubicle and hid.
I held my breath, not daring to make a sound, and of course Liu Rong couldn’t spot me.
Liu Rong came in and was surprised to find only one person in the toilet, “What are you muttering about all by yourself?”
Lao Gan smiled, “Mr. Liu is quite concerned about me, I was just talking to myself.”
“Haha, Old Gan, you’re not that old, why are you talking as if you have Alzheimer’s?”
I heard him push open the door of the next cubicle and soon he was going to push open mine.
“Is it bad if I have Alzheimer’s? Mr. Liu wouldn’t have to go to all the trouble of trying to kill me. How tired Mr. Liu was from tossing and turning that night during the typhoon night. If I had Alzheimer’s, wouldn’t I save you a lot of trouble?” Old Gan was saying this with a smile, but it was definitely not a joke.
Liu Rong laughed loudly, “Lao Gan, Lao Gan, you and I have known each other for so many years, but sometimes I really can’t understand you, why do you have to work for Han Kun? What is it about him that makes him so worthy of you?”
“I’m not working for Han Kun, I’m working for Junran. I’m on Junran’s payroll, so I have to do things for Junran. I’m taking money from people and doing things for them.”
“Old Gan, don’t deceive yourself and others. After Junran’s name is Liu, it’s still Junran, and I’ll make it better. A hero is born with momentum, at your age, why don’t you take a gamble with me, it’s a sure win, no loss.”
