"What's wrong? Are you quarreling again? " Xie Chenjin was indifferent. He locked the car and walked to Du Anran's side.
"There's no need. " Du Anran played it down.
"Let's go! My parents are waiting anxiously. " Xie Chenjin's heart was filled with bitterness.
"Okay. " Du Anran followed Xie Chenjin upstairs.
That night, Du Anran met Xie Chenjin's parents for the first time. Xie Chenjin's parents were really good people. They did not put on airs at all, and they would not put on the pretense of meeting their "daughter-in-law" for the first time.
Although du Anran and Xie Chenjin were acting, she had to act appropriately because Xie Chenjin's parents were so kind and amiable. Although she could not be wholehearted, at least she was not half-hearted.
The entire meal was exceptionally harmonious. Xie Chenjin was also quite happy. However, when he was happy, he would occasionally Hug du Anran. Du Anran did not openly reject him, but she would pinch Xie Chenjin secretly.
Every time Xie Chenjin was pinched until it hurt, he would let go. Xie Chenjin's parents could not see anything wrong with him either. They only knew that the two of them were quite a good match.
Xie Chenjin's parents were very generous. This time, they gave many gifts to Du Anran. Du Anran was really embarrassed to accept the gifts from the Xie family again, but Xie Chenjin was encouraging her subordinates.
There was no other way. It was better to obey than to be respectful.
After dinner, when they came out, Du Anran carried the gifts given by Xie Chenjin's parents. They were all expensive things. Du Anran returned all the gifts to Xie Chenjin as soon as she got in the car. Of course, Xie Chenjin would not accept them.
"I can't take advantage of you. " Du Anran insisted on giving all the gifts to Xie Chenjin.
"You've already taken advantage of me... " Xie Chenjin said, "the investment required for the Golden Plate Garden project is far more than these gifts. Therefore, this is just a drop in the bucket. Just treat it as a bonus and take it. "
Du Anran felt that what Xie Chenjin said made sense, so she had no choice but to accept the gift.
"I'll send you back, " Xie Chenjin said.
Du Anran wanted to say no, but she thought that Xin Zimo was still waiting for her. She could not tell Xie Chenjin to go to the villa on Huxin Island, so she could only nod.
She went back to the DU residence to take a look first. If her mother was home, she would not have to go to Xin zimo's place.
She did not want to face Xin Zimo alone, especially at night.
When Xie Chenjin sent Du Anran home, it was already past ten o'clock at night. But the closer it was to the early morning, the richer the night life in the city was. The downtown area was still filled with the elegance of red lights and green wine. Men and women did not know tiredness.
Xin Zimo had already finished dinner with Tang Nuanyan. Sun Ping's phone suddenly rang, and Xin zimo rushed to a restaurant.
"President Xin, this is the resignation report. I was planning to hand it to you when I go to work tomorrow. " Sun Ping was waiting for Xin Zimo in the restaurant, and there were only a few bottles of wine on the table.
"RESIGNATION REPORT? " When Xin Zimo heard it, his mind was like a beehive. Resignation Report? Sun Ping was going to resign?
He didn't even have time to sit down and directly tore open the envelope. When he saw that Sun Ping's name was signed on the resignation report, he knew that Sun Ping wasn't joking with him.
"Sun Ping, what are you doing? " Xin Zimo said angrily, "is the Xin Corporation's platform too small, or am I, Xin Zimo, too mean to you? "
"No. " Sun Ping was actually very calm at this time. "I, Sun Ping, will never forget President Xin's great kindness, but Sun Ping is going to get married soon, and his parents are waiting to retire at home. The Xin family... is no longer suitable for me. I hope President Xin can understand. "
"You're saying that the salary is not high enough? " Xin zimo threw the envelope on the table.
"No, the salary that President Xin gives me is several times that of an ordinary person. I don't dare to ask for more. Moreover, everyone knows the current situation of the Xin family. Therefore, a good bird chooses a tree to roost. I'm sorry, President Xin. " Sun Ping bowed.
A good bird chooses a tree to roost in, a good bird chooses a tree to roost in... ... This sentence again ! !
When du Anran left him, she said this sentence. Now, Sun Ping still gave him the same sentence.
What kind of rotten wood was the Xin family now? The people that he thought would follow him for his whole life had all left!
Xin Zimo was extremely angry. His brows were furrowed. Anger and impulse were written on his face. His eyes were as deep as the night.
After calming down for a few minutes, Xin zimo finally calmed down a little. "Are you seriously considering this? "
"Yes, I think CEO Xin knows me very well. I, Sun Ping, have always been thoughtful when making a choice. "
Xin Zimo was speechless. If he could still interfere with du Anran's freedom, he could not influence Sun Ping's choice. It was precisely because he knew Sun Ping very well that he could not persuade Sun Ping to stay.
He definitely could not change Sun Ping's decision.
"When did you want to resign? " Xin Zimo asked faintly.
"When you stopped caring about the Xin Corporation, " Sun Ping answered truthfully.
Xin zimo understood. From the moment he was in London, Sun Ping had thought of resigning, but it had been delayed until today.
Xin zimo nodded helplessly. "since it is your decision, I will fulfill it. "
"thank you for your understanding, President Xin. I hope you will do me the honor of marrying me in the future, President Xin. " Sun Ping did not show any emotion on his face.
"Besides. " Xin zimo's throat was a little choked up. The brother who had stayed by his side for so many years was about to leave. If he did not feel uncomfortable, it would be fake.
"Okay. " Sun Ping nodded.
Both of them were silent for a long time. They could only hear the sounds of people coming and going in the restaurant and the music played by the saxophone.
Xin Zimo lowered his head and took out a bank card from his wallet.
"You have worked for the Xin Corporation for so many years. This is a small token of my appreciation. Please accept it. "
"No need, CEO Xin. You have given me a lot of salary. I can't accept this card, " Sun Ping declined.
"Take it! " Xin Zimo threw the card into his hand, not allowing him to reject it.
Sun Ping had no choice but to put the card away. He saw that Xin Zimo's eyes were red, and his heart was also in turmoil.
After a long while, Sun Ping Slowly said, "Director Xin, there are a few words that I don't know if I should say. "
"Say it. What else do you have to say to me? " Xin Zimo really treated Sun Ping as his brother.
Thinking of how Sun Ping had sacrificed so much for him all these years just to repay that little bit of affection from him, Sun Ping felt that Sun Ping was truly his right-hand man. Sun Ping had long been like his right-hand man. Sun Ping was about to leave now, and he was really reluctant to part with him... ...
"We must seek help for the Xin family's financial problems, and we can't force it. Jin Haiguo and the Xie family are friends, so they will definitely become enemies with the Xin family. Jin Pan Garden is a good example, and I hope that CEO Xin will take it seriously. "Also, I hope that CEO Xin will put the overall situation first in everything in the future. For example, the matter of handing over the information to someone else last time, " Sun Ping said sincerely He did not say anything further. "I hope that I can see CEO Xin's boldness when he acquired Shihe in the future. "
Sun Ping was speaking from his heart. Xin Zimo thought for a long time and nodded.
"I understand... " Xin Zimo's eyes revealed a depth that was even wider than the stars.
"CEO Xin, take care. " Sun Ping looked at Xin Zimo, his eyes also filled with reluctance.
"Can you tell me, which company do you work for? " Xin Zimo asked.
"Huayuan Group, " Sun Ping said.
"outsiders say that CEO Zhang of Huayuan's Zhang City treats people extremely well. I didn't believe that a person who relied on his mother-in-law to make a fortune would have any ability. However, it seems that I'm in the wrong now. " Xin zimo smiled sheepishly.
"President Zhang is not as good as you in every aspect, but I'm sorry, he did give me more space and reward. "
"I understand, what kind of person do you think I am? It's fine, I understand. Hua Yuan has the support of the political world behind it. It won't easily have problems like the Xin family. Work hard after you go, and maybe one day we will become rivals. "
Xin zimo smiled very easily, but Sun Ping saw the bitterness in his eyes.
Sun Ping nodded. "President Xin, I'll treat you to a few drinks. "
"No, I just had a drink with my friend... "
Xin Zimo didn't want to face Sun Ping anymore. Du Anran had left, and so had his brother whom he had known for many years. Why did he end up like this... ...
His eyes were red. He didn't want to lose his composure in front of Sun Ping. He waved his hand and drove away from the restaurant.
When he needed support and comfort the most, there was no one beside him. Why did he end up like this? Why did everyone leave him... ...
What had he been fighting for all these years? If this was the end, he would rather not have all of this.
The car drove steadily on the road. Xin Zimo looked straight ahead, his vision a little blurry... ...
After driving on the streets of city a for a long time, Xin Zimo did not know where to go. At this moment, he realized that he had many villas and houses, but they could only be cold houses forever, without any warmth.
What he wanted was not a house, but a home.
It was already 11 o'clock at night. Xin Zimo parked the car on the deserted side of the road.
There were no pedestrians on the road, only a few trucks passing by occasionally.
He leaned against the car door and looked at the hazy night and the endless sky. It was as dark as ink, quiet and silent. His figure stood alone by the deserted roadside, a long shadow drawn out by the streetlights.
In the lonely night where he was alone, he quietly lit a cigarette.
When the smell of tobacco filled his nose, the long night, he calmed down many things in his heart that he thought he could not let go of.
But the longer the night, the more he missed Du Anran.
He had never missed a person like this. He missed her day and night, and his soul lingered in his dreams.
In the end, he still called Du Anran's cell phone. He missed her, even if it was just to listen to her voice.
"I won't go to your place, " Du Anran said as soon as she opened her mouth.
When she returned home, she saw that her mother was fine at home. She knew that Xin Zimo had played her again. Now that he called her, nothing good must have happened.
Xin Zimo felt like a fishbone stuck in his throat. He wanted to say something, but he couldn't say anything. His heart was filled with bitterness.
"Hello, why aren't you speaking? " Du Anran thought that he had dialed the wrong number.
"anran... " after a long silence, he finally called out her name.
But the moment he opened his mouth, she was frightened. His voice was choked with sobs, as if... ... He had cried ? ?
"You... " "what's wrong? " The three words did not come out, but du Anran's heart was already rippling.
But with the heart to leave Xin Zimo, Du Anran was not too soft-hearted. After a moment, her tone changed again. "If there's nothing else, I'll hang up. Don't call me in the future. "
