Introduction: What he cares about is that he can be by her side for the rest of his life, he can give up his dignity, give up everything, and he does not want to push her out again, because he can no longer bear the days without her.
One
At night, the restaurants on the pier are lit up, and the beauty of the river and the intoxicating wine attract countless young people, which is a good place for them to have a pastime, but Lin Jiu, who sits at the bar, has no heart to care about these. He listened intently to the music of the restaurant with his cheeks propped up, holding a glass filled with water. Some people like to borrow wine to dispel their sorrows, but Lin Jiu does not love it, he only tastes the pleasure brought by alcohol when he is happy.
His friend knew his preferences and did not rush to persuade him to drink, so except for Lin Jiu, the group was drunk and confused.
"I... I want to..." Fang Zan, who was sitting next to Lin Jiu, had not finished speaking, and he hurried outside.
Seeing that Fang Zan was the first person to drink and vomit, the others laughed at it.
Lin Jiu didn't laugh, he patted Zhou Ziyue, who was still sober, and said, "Go and see him." ”
It didn't take long for them to return.
Fang Zan didn't look like a big deal, but Zhou Ziyue's face was like black charcoal.
Lin Jiu asked, "Fang Zan, what are you doing outside?" After all, the last time he was drunk, he said something he shouldn't have said to Zhou Ziyue.
"I didn't do anything!" Fang Zan seemed to have thought about the last time, pointing to the door and explaining to Lin Jiu, "Zhou Ziyue is obviously because he saw your 'Little Qingmei' eating with the Xu family's boy." ”
Zhou Ziyue saw that Fang Zan's mouth was unobstructed, and raised his elbow to hit him.
Fang Zan was inexplicably beaten and was about to scold him, but following his gaze to see Lin Jiu's expression, he did not dare to speak.
The glass did not know when it fell on the table, and the water inside dripped down Lin Jiu's wrist to the floor. Lin Jiu took off his watch expressionlessly, lowered his head and slowly dried the water stains on it. During the whole process, he was silent, and it seemed that he did not care about what the other party liked, but the cold air emanating from his body betrayed him.
Zhou Ziyue saw that Lin Jiu was hesitant to speak, and said, "I didn't expect Xu Ying to really have a relationship with Xiao Tong, before I heard Fang Zan say that Xu Ying had ideas about Xiao Tong." But he is a notorious scumbag, as if when he was with his ex-girlfriend, he was confused with several female models. ”
Where did he say such a thing? Fang Zan didn't know what nerves Zhou Zi was getting, and he met Lin Jiu's scrutinizing gaze, so he had to reply vaguely: "Xu Ying is simply a fool's dream!" ”
Lin Jiu's eyebrows were high, as if he finally couldn't bear it, and without a word, he got up and walked outside.
"Brother Jiu, watch." Fang Zan's eyes were sharp, and he hurriedly handed over the watch that he had forgotten on the table.
Lin Jiu took the watch, coldly glanced at Fang Zan, and said without a head: "She is not my 'Qingmei'." ”
Fang Zan had not yet reacted, and subconsciously wanted to say something, but Zhou Ziyue stopped him and whispered, "Have you forgotten Yu Chenxi?" ”
Several people around looked at each other, after all, everyone knew the relationship between Yu Chenxi and Tong Mengyi.

There is no loud music outside the restaurant, the atmosphere is quiet, and you can enjoy the scenery by the river, which attracts many couples to come to eat. Tong Mengyi and Xu Ying sat among several couples, talking and laughing with each other, and seemed to be in no contradiction with everything around them.
Lin Jiu came out to see such a scene: the breeze blew from the river, blowing Tong Mengyi's bangs, Xu Ying leaned forward, reaching out to help her straighten out, she took the first step away, smiled and said something to Xu Ying, Xu Ying also laughed. Lin Jiu's face became more and more gloomy, and he strode toward them, and without saying a word, pulled a chair from the side and sat among them.
Tong Mengyi didn't expect to meet Lin Jiu here, she looked up at him, just bumping into his deep eyes staring at her coldly. As soon as Tong Meng sensed his anger, his heart "giggled" for a moment, thinking: Lin Jiu should not know, right?
"Don't mind if I sit here?" When Lin Jiu asked this, he kept staring at Tong Mengyi.
Even though Tong Mengyi was very concerned, she didn't dare to say it. She suppressed her inner uneasiness and replied with a smile, "Of course I don't mind." ”
Xu Ying did not notice that something was wrong between them, and while smiling and pouring water on Lin Jiu, he also rushed to talk to him: "Lin Zong, please, do you also come here to eat?" ”
Lin Jiu did not touch the water that Xu Ying poured, nor did he directly answer his question, he leaned back on the chair with his arm, lightly swept his eyes at Xu Ying, and asked: "Are you Xu Ying?" ”
Xu Ying was overjoyed to see lin jiu know him.
Xu Ying's ancestors made a fortune by doing the entertainment industry, with deep roots, originally looked down on Lin Jiu, a person with no background, but over the years his business has become worse and worse, and he naturally wants to have a good relationship with Lin Jiu. Lin Jiu focuses on the investment of the fashion and entertainment industry, holding a lot of resources in this regard, several entertainment companies on the verge of closure in the past few years were all "saved" by him, and now he is a big red in the investment industry.
"Right, right, I didn't think Lin Zong knew such a small person as me." Xu Ying immediately replied.
"How can you not know?" Fang Zan told me about you and a few female models. Lin Jiu seemed to be chatting with Xu Ying, but Yu Guang had never left Tong Mengyi. When he saw Tong Meng hear xu Ying's dirty things, his expression did not change at all, and he couldn't help but have some doubts, dare she know?
Xu Ying couldn't understand Lin Jiu's meaning, and threw a look at Tong Mengyi asking for help, and this action fell into Lin Jiu's eyes, as if he had suffered a lot of grievances. Lin Jiu became more and more displeased, and also looked at Tong Mengyi, he wanted to see what she thought.
Tong Mengyi didn't care about this matter at all, she was just looking for Xu Ying to talk about cooperation today, but she couldn't let Lin Jiu know the purpose of her trip, at this moment she was eager for Lin Jiu to leave quickly, so she deliberately said something that made him hate: "It seems that Lin Zong is interested in the female models around Xu Zong, you may wish to introduce a few to him." ”
"Well, the child still knows Lin Zong." Xu Ying suddenly realized, and quickly took out his mobile phone and said that he would send Lin Jiu the WeChat of the female model.
Lin Jiu waved his hand to refuse, combined with Tong Mengyi's attitude towards Xu Ying's kind of thing just now, he was almost certain that Tong Mengyi was not dating Xu Ying. He didn't bother to talk to Xu Ying again, pulled away the chair and stood up, glanced at Tong Mengyi, and said, "Let's go together?" It seems like a question sentence, but the tone is clear that it is not allowed to refuse even a little.
Tong Mengyi helplessly apologized to Xu Ying and reluctantly got into Lin Jiu's car.
Three
Along the way, no one opened his mouth to break the silence, and when they reached the door of Tong Meng's house, Lin Jiu asked, "Are you talking about cooperation with Xu Ying?" ”
Lin Jiu guessed it, and Tong Mengyi's careful thinking was nowhere to be seen. She glared at him and warned him fiercely: "You don't need to take care of it." ”
Lin Jiu smiled and drew the corners of his mouth and said, "If I remember correctly, I am also the boss of 'DOUX'." ”
Lin Jiu didn't mention this matter well, as soon as he talked about this, Tong Mengyi's heart was as uncomfortable as being blocked by cotton.
"DOUX" is a perfume brand founded by Yu Chenxi and his friend Zhong Ye, Yu Chenxi poured all his efforts on it, and died suddenly before he could achieve his goal. After his accident, Zhong also left "DOUX". Tong Mengyi couldn't bear to see Yu Chenxi's hard work in vain, changed hands and sold his beloved jewelry studio, found various channels to make money, and easily injected capital into one of the shareholders of "DOUX". At this time, Lin Jiu directly bought a large number of shares of "DOUX" and became the major shareholder with the most shares in his hand. Lin Jiu has always been at odds with Yu Chenxi, and the perfume company he invested in before is the main competitor of "DOUX", which is obviously humiliating Yu Chenxi and "DOUX".
But Tong Mengyi had no choice, she was not Lin Jiu's opponent at all. At first, she was only a small shareholder, and even the position of management could not sit, or Lin Jiu saw her thoughts and proposed to sign a VAM agreement and let her enter the management.
According to the agreement, as long as the company's earnings this year increase by 10% compared with last year, then even if she wins, otherwise she will have to use her shares to offset it. At that time, Tong Mengyi simply thought that Lin Jiu wanted to cooperate fairly, but he didn't think that this was actually a pit. In the half year after she signed the agreement, he repeatedly opposed her, not only explicitly denying her plan, but also repeatedly taking away the partners behind her back.
When Tong Meng saw the smile at the corner of Lin Jiu's mouth, she gritted her teeth in hatred, but thinking of "DOUX", she restrained her anger and asked him in a stoic voice: "What do you want?" ”
Lin Jiu looked at Tong Mengyi who was staring at him with a straight face, maybe she didn't even notice it herself, she would always puff up her cheeks when she was angry, like a small goldfish in the fish tank, inexplicably cute. I don't know how she would react by poking her in the face. Thinking of this, Lin Jiu loosened his seat belt and leaned sideways to approach Tong Mengyi, a thing he had wanted to do for a long time.
The faint smell of perfume on his body was like citrus, and it was like seawater, oppressing every inch of the air around Tong Mengyi domineeringly. She subconsciously wanted to flee, moving her body nervously, but found herself firmly wrapped in the car seat by him, unable to move.
She had to threaten him with great momentum: "Other conditions are easy to talk about, if you dare to do something to me, you, you..."
She was on her feet for half a day, stunned and unable to say half a harsh word.
Lin Jiu laughed and asked her, "Huh?" What about you? He had the heart to tease her, deliberately shortening the distance between the two men.
Under his knife-like double eyelids were a pair of dark pupils, as if the vast and endless universe, mysterious and charming, and at this moment, it was all her appearance. Tong Mengyi's heart couldn't stop beating violently, she pushed him away with all her might, pulled the car door and ran out like a fugitive, afraid that he would find her red face, and think of what he had done, and did not forget to step on his feet.
Lin Jiu looked at the two large shoe prints on the upper of her shoes, looked at her panicked back, and couldn't help but laugh.
Four
Early the next morning, Tong Mengyi did receive the news that Xu Ying was reluctant to cooperate with "DOUX". She was angry and annoyed, knowing that Lin Jiu was the one who caused it, and only hated herself for not fighting last night, and did not let him suffer more.
Lin Jiu called her as if nothing had happened and invited her to the dance.
Tong Mengyi listened to the lazy and rambling tone on his phone, gritted his teeth and said: "Lin Zong, you are really joking, the company is now calculated by villains, where do I still have the heart to go to the dance." ”
Lin Jiu, as if she couldn't hear her overt and covert sarcasm, smiled and said, "This dance party was organized by Zhou Zhiya." ”
Zhou Zhiya is a well-known actress, she has a good reputation and wide connections, and every dance party held is the focus of the entertainment circle and the fashion circle, and there will naturally be many business opportunities.
Hearing this, Tong Mengyi agreed without hesitation.
That night, she put on the dress sent by Lin Jiu, took Lin Jiu's arm and walked into the dance, smiling the whole time, as if they had never had any festivals with each other.
After Lin Jiu entered the field, many people talked to him. He has a strong capital and a noble status, and he is naturally sought after, and there are many girls who dance with him, but none of them succeed. Because every time Tong Mengyi would block in front of Lin Jiu, he sternly refused for him: "I'm sorry, Lin Zong fought with the dog yesterday, accidentally bitten by the dog's leg, and today he still hurts!" ”
Lin Jiu's limbs are seriously uncoordinated, and he never dances in public, this secret is only known to Tong Mengyi, which is why he needs her to accompany him every time he goes to the dance, so she dares to mock him.
Lin Jiu was indeed not angry about this, he seemed to be happy to enjoy her choreography, so when Fang Zan came over, he saw Lin Jiu with a smile on his lips.
Fang Zan deliberately laughed and said, "Brother Jiu, you shouldn't be stupid to be bitten by a dog, right?" He had never seen Lin Jiu, who was so happy to be ridiculed!
Lin Jiu glanced at him, silently withdrew his smile, and changed back to his original indifferent and cold appearance.
As Lin Jiu's friend for many years, Fang Zan could see at a glance that Lin Jiu's good mood all came from Tong Mengyi. He squeezed Lin Jiu's eyebrows and said, "Is the boy jealous again?" Otherwise, why won't you dance with others every time? I have already said that the child has you in his heart! ”
Lin Jiu did not pay attention to him, his eyes fell on the middle of the dance floor, one second Tong Mengyi was still refusing to find the woman who danced for him, the next second she directly pulled them to dance together. She weaved freely through the crowd of people, the butterfly motif of the skirt dancing with her movements, and it seemed that the next moment it would fly. Sure enough, this dress suited her perfectly. Lin Jiu laughed softly and said, "You were deceived by her." ”
He was obviously not answering Fang Zan's question, his tone was full of pampering, and it was none other than Lin Jiu himself who was willing to be deceived.
This dance party is not a classical style, there are not so many rules, and dancing with the same sex is naturally allowed. Of course, Tong Mengyi will not dance with every woman who comes to lin jiu to dance, she only chooses those partners who are likely to cooperate. She danced to their steps, echoed their topics, and then handed out her business cards at the right time.
These small movements of her Lin Jiu were in full view, he seemed to be socializing with people, but in fact, his attention was all on her. Seeing her jump more and more, completely unaware that a man with ill intentions was slowly approaching her, he frowned tightly, squeezed into the crowded dance floor, and hugged Tong Mengyi into his arms before the man moved, and at the same time gave the man a punch.
The man was beaten to the point, and instead of questioning the reason first, he turned around and wanted to run.
Lin Jiu grabbed him by the collar with one hand and motioned for the security guards not far away to come and deal with him.
When the man saw that Lin Jiu was not spared, he was so angry that he grabbed the knife used for the meal from the next table and stabbed him recklessly.
Lin Jiu protected Tong Mengyi with one hand, and resisted his attack with the other hand, although he struggled to knock off the knife in the man's hand, his arm was still scratched.
The moment the knife fell to the ground, the security guard arrived in time to subdue the man.
Lin Jiu covered his arms and left with Tong Meng, and before the people at the scene could react, the figures of the two of them disappeared from the venue.
Five
It wasn't until Lin Jiu took her back to the lounge that Tong Mengyi eased up, and she asked him worriedly, "How about the wound?" Let me see. ”
Lin Jiu let go of the hand that covered his arm, and a large piece of skin was exposed, as well as gushing blood. Tong Mengyi exclaimed in surprise and said in a trembling voice, "I'm sorry, they all blame me, I... I'll give you medicine! There was a medicine box in the lounge, and Tong Mengyi hurriedly opened it and took out iodine and Yunnan Baiyao.
Lin Jiu removed his hand and did not let her touch it, his cold eyes were like a bottomless deep pool, staring straight at her, cold and terrible.
Tong Mengyi was frightened by his look, and timidly met his gaze and asked him, "What's wrong?" ”
"Why apologize?" In this matter, it was clear that she was the victim, and Lin Jiu told her categorically, "It's not your fault." ”
Tong Mengyi did not expect that he was angry because of this, she nodded obediently and said, "You are right, I take back the apology." Then he shook the medicine in his hand and asked him tentatively, "Then I will give you medicine?" ”
Lin Jiu didn't speak, but he didn't continue to stop her.
Tong Meng had the audacity to pull his wrist and press him to the sofa, while he squatted down in front of him, dipped the cotton swab in iodine, looked up, and said, "I'm going to disinfect you, it may hurt a little, if you can't stand it, you can tell me." ”
The two of them were very close, and Lin Jiu could see her eyes up close.
She has a pair of moving fox eyes, with charm when she smiles, and when she wants to cry, she is miserable, and at this moment she just blinks twice, which is also seductive. He wanted to look into her eyes more, and when he saw her bow his head to apply the medicine to him, and no longer looked at him, he withdrew his hand and did not let her apply it.
When he moved, Tong Mengyi thought he was in pain, and really looked up at him: "Does it hurt?" Then I'll lighten up. She became more and more cautious, but before she could apply it twice, Lin Jiu jerked her hand back again, and the cotton swab almost hurt his wound twice. She was a little angry, and said directly: "Endure the pain, don't move around, or do you want to take medicine?" ”
"Can't stand it." Lin Jiu's voice fell, and he reached out his hand to hold her face, and a pair of seductive eyes crashed into his heart.
His eyes darkened, and he said in a dumb voice, "Tong Mengyi, you are my medicine." With that, he leaned down and kissed her lightly into the eye.
Tong Meng subconsciously closed her eyes, and the gentle touch landed on her right eye socket and then on the corner of her left eye. Many thoughts flashed through her mind: Why are Lin Jiu's lips so soft? Why did he kiss me? Do I want to push him away? But there was no action for a long time. She indulged in his tenderness, and even after he ended these two kisses like a dragonfly, she did not return to her senses for a long time. When she opened her eyes blindfolded, her eyes were full of fear.
Lin Jiu seemed to be pleased by her reaction, he smiled, pulled her up, let her sit aside, stretched out his arm and said, "Go ahead." ”
"Continue with what?" As soon as Tong Meng blurted out, hearing his laughter, she was embarrassed and embarrassed, and quickly stuffed the contents of her hand into the palm of his hand, and said shamefully, "Come by yourself!" ”
Lin Jiu was now satisfied, did not tease her anymore, and cleaned up the wound in three or two clicks.
Six
As soon as Tong Meng saw that he was not in serious trouble, he was bent on avoiding him, but before he could open the door, he heard someone talking outside, and he was still talking about her.
"Just now, Lin Zong was too handsome, and he subdued the man all of a sudden."
"Yeah, I really envy Tong Zong, if only I had a boyfriend like Lin Zong!"
"Well, she's not Lin Jiu's girlfriend!" She used to love to pestering Lin Jiu and always turned around him. Lin Jiu didn't like her at all, but when she was a relief. ”
"Huh? Are you sure? How would you know? Others asked.
"My brother and Lin Jiu are very familiar, they have been talking about cooperation recently, and I used to be Lin Jiu's classmate. This matter is not private, many people around Lin Jiu know it. ”
The door was not soundproof, the sound from the outside clearly entered the house, Lin Jiu saw Tong Mengyi silently bow his head, his heart was cold, and he immediately wanted to open the door and go out.
Tong Mengyi hooked his fingers around the hem of his clothes and shook his head at him. She could hear the girl's voice, and indeed as she said, Lin Jiu had a very important cooperation to talk about with her brother, and she didn't want anything to happen at this juncture, so she smiled at him and said she didn't mind.
The three people outside the house were still talking.
"Tong Mengyi is really 'green tea', pestering Lin Jiu, and still messing with Yu Chenxi. I want to say that Yu Chenxi is the most miserable, people are gone, and the company is now in her hands. ”
"Who is Yu Chenxi?" The remaining two girls asked Yu Chenxi about it.
"Yu Chenxi..."
The girl was just about to speak when the door to the lounge opened without warning. Tong Mengyi stood in the doorway and warned her with an angry face: "Xu Fang, you had better stop at the right time!" It doesn't matter how you scold me, talk about Yu Chenxi, no! ”
Xu Fang looked at Tong Mengyi, saw Lin Jiu standing behind him with a gloomy face, and immediately became afraid and apologized awkwardly: "I'm sorry." Then, busy pulling the other two girls away.
The corridor immediately returned to silence, and Tong Mengyi gradually calmed down the anger in her heart, she did not look back, only said: "I want to go back first." ”
"I'll send you." Lin Jiu said immediately.
He could feel her low pressure, and he knew that she would feel uncomfortable when she thought of Yu Chenxi. He looked at her thin back, and his heart was also uncomfortable, and he couldn't help but take two steps to take her into his arms.
Tong Meng broke free from his arms like a beast avoiding the flood, and after repeatedly retreating backwards, he dropped the sentence "Don't touch me again", and left without turning his head.
Lin Jiu looked at the empty corridor and clenched his fists. Over the years, the only person who can make Tong Mengyi lose his cool is Yu Chenxi, and the person he hates the most is also him.
Seven
When he was ten years old, Lin Jiu's mother died of illness, and after his father took him away, he learned that his father often traveled on business not because he was too busy at work, but because he still had a home, and his mother was not his legal wife. In the days that followed, he endured the sneers and endless discussions of others. He did nothing wrong, but he was subjected to countless insults and scornful eyes, simply because of the mistakes made by the previous generation.
Yu Chenxi was his half-brother, and he never pointed at him like others, because he had never wanted to look at him more, which was why Lin Jiu hated him. Yu Chenxi has been intelligent and capable since childhood, and he is also the eldest son of the Yu family, he is arrogant and does not look down on Lin Jiu at all, so he believes that he has no ability and is not qualified to take away the aura belonging to the Yu family.
In fact, whether it is the identity of the Yu family or the love of his father, Lin Jiu does not care to rob it at all. All he wanted was Tong Mengyi from beginning to end.
At that time, Lin Jiu had not yet known Tong Mengyi, and he heard that Yu Chenxi had a 'Qingmei' who had grown up with him since childhood, and lived next door to the Yu family.
On the day of the first meeting, she stood downstairs, blocked his way, and asked him, "Are you Lin Jiu?" ”
He guessed that she was Yu Chenxi's friend, and in the past Yu Chenxi's friends had not provoked him like this.
Lin Jiu ignored it and walked straight past her.
She was not annoyed, and followed him and chattered a lot of words.
"My name is Tong Mengyi, and I live next door to your house."
"I heard that you are younger than Brother Chenxi, how old are you?" Should I call you brother or brother? ”
"Why don't you talk?" If you don't speak, I'll assume you're younger than me. ”
"You're just right to be my brother, so I'm not the youngest on this street."
Lin Jiu glanced at her impatiently. As if she had seen some treasure, her eyes lit up, and she pressed her face to him. He blushed and hurried forward, while she stuck behind him like a dog skin plaster and couldn't shake it off.
He was upset in his heart, didn't Yu Chenxi tell her to stay away from him?
Lin Jiu later found out that Yu Chenxi did not tell her this, but every time she would swear to Yu Chenxi that she would never interact with him again, and then she would sneak to his side. These Lin Jiu all looked in his eyes, but he never exposed them. He enjoyed the days with her, looked forward to the moments when she secretly called his name, and loved every piece of jewelry drawing she drew casually.
However, this affection Lin Jiu has always been buried deep in his heart, he restrained his liking for her, and also pretended to be cold, only because he knew her friendship with Yu Chenxi, he did not dare to risk testing whether she had him in her heart, and he did not want the last bit of dignity to be trampled on.
Lin Jiu thought of this and laughed at himself: "In the end, I still can't help it..."
It started to rain outside at some point, and the rain hit the windows and made a noise.
Lin Jiu glanced back, the room was full of cold wind pouring in, and the original wisps disappeared.
Eight
Through the dance matchmaking, Tong Mengyi recently signed several intentions to cooperate, sweeping away the previous bad mood, but unfortunately the good mood has not lasted long, I heard that Lin Jiu came to the company.
Lin Jiu is a major shareholder, only need to come to the company at the shareholders' meeting, he suddenly came over for no reason, and Tong Mengyi sounded the alarm in his heart.
"Mr. Tong, Mr. Lin said he couldn't come to your office, let you go to the conference room."
Tong Mengyi's office was formerly Yu Chenxi's, and after she took over the company, the office has always maintained its original appearance. The photos on the table were put by Yu Chenxi before, including photos of him and Tong Mengyi when they were young. Lin Jiu came once, and never set foot there again.
In the conference room, Tong Meng looked at Lin Jiu, who was sitting opposite, as if she were facing a great enemy, and she rubbed her hands uneasily and asked, "What instructions does Lin Zong have?" ”
Lin Jiu looked at her with his arm around him and said with an unhappy face: "I heard that the company was built in a group, but I was not counted." ”
He really came to look for Qi'er!
Tong Mengyi had asked his assistant to inquire about his wishes before, but it was obvious that he had been delayed in replying. She asked confidently, "Haven't you always been silent about this matter, and you have no interest?" ”
Lin Jiu looked at her and questioned herself with a straight face, and smiled: "I didn't say I wouldn't go, why, sister, you want to misinterpret my silence this time?" ”
The title "sister" suddenly exploded in Tong Mengyi's heart, and she remembered the scene where she had forced Lin Jiu to call her sister on her toes before, so she broke out in a cold sweat and said urgently: "Plus, add your name!" ”
When she was a teenager, Lin Jiu was always so taciturn, she did not take the opportunity to tease him, and now she was afraid that he would settle the account after the autumn.
Lin Jiu saw that she looked nervous and like a needle felt, took the initiative to change the topic, and said: "By the way, you have compiled a profit statement of the company for the past five years to me." ”
"What do you want to do?" Tong Meng immediately became nervous as a reflex, should he have any bad ideas again?
Lin Jiu knew what she was thinking, and he knocked on the table without a moment's hesitation, and said unhurriedly: "Soon it will be the date stipulated in the VAM agreement, in order to prevent any problems." ”
Lin Jiu clearly felt that she would do something about the income of previous years because she could not complete the target of 10% higher income this year than last year's income.
When Tong Meng saw him see himself like this, he snorted coldly, "Good! I'll let the assistant sort it out and give it to you. Then he got up and looked down at him and said coldly, "If There is anything else lin, you can find my assistant, I am going to get busy." ”
The two men broke up again.
Nine
The team building of "DOUX" this time is mainly to promote communication between senior leaders, so most of the people present are shareholders and management. After arriving at the suburban garden villa with mountains and water, the group went to play golf or horseback riding.
Tong Mengyi didn't like these activities very much, but as the initiator of this activity, she needed to pretend to be positive, so she first went to the golf course to play with everyone for a while, and then went to the horse farm for a walk. During the whole process, she did not forget to pay attention to Lin Jiu's movements. Ever since he volunteered to participate in the team building, she suspected that something was wrong with him.
Tong Mengyi did not see Lin Jiu's figure at the golf course and horse farm, so he had to ask his secretary where he was, only to learn that he was on the hillside behind the villa.
"Mr. Lin didn't let me follow, and he still had something in his hand, but he didn't know what it was, it was quite mysterious."
Tong Mengyi's curiosity was immediately hooked, and she sneaked up the hillside behind her, ready to find out.
The hillside was not far away, and Tong Mengyi quickly climbed up. She didn't see Lin Jiu on it, but she saw the drawing board on the grass, and her eyes lit up.
This is Lin Jiu's drawing board!
In the past, he especially liked to take the drawing board to sketch outside, and Tong Mengyi also liked to draw, and did not follow him. She glanced around, didn't see Lin Jiu, and guessed that he must have forgotten here before leaving, so she had the courage to pick up the drawing board.
From the hillside, in the distance, there are rolling hills, the summit is covered with light light, which is shocking, and sometimes there are drifting clouds that hide these steep peaks, which is very beautiful.
Tong Mengyi carved the beautiful scenery little by little on the paper, and she immersed herself in it selflessly, completely unaware that Lin Jiu was behind.
"Lin Zong, don't you go over?" The secretary asked him softly.
Lin Jiu shook his head, since she took care of "DOUX", it must have been a long time since she had drawn well, he left a sentence "Don't bother her" and left from the mountain road behind.
When Tong Meng returned to the villa, it was already dark. She pushed open the door with the drawing board in her hand, not thinking that lin Jiu was standing behind the door, and she was so frightened that she hid the drawing board behind her.
"Coming back so late?" Lin Jiu's gloomy voice came.
Tong Mengyi was thinking about the drawing board, did not hear the worry in his words, and quietly stepped back.
Lin Jiu frowned, seeing that she didn't seem to know that there was a pond behind her, and reached out to pull her.
Tong Mengyi was frightened by his action and took a big step backwards, and then fell into the pond with a "flutter" sound.
Lin Jiu didn't even think about it, and jumped down immediately after that.
In the pond, the two men glanced at the pool water that had not yet reached their knees and looked at each other.
Tong Meng looked at Lin Jiu's face and took the lead in breaking the silence, saying, "This water is still quite cool." ”
Lin Jiu was still angry, angry that she had returned late, and also angry that she avoided him, but now she was amused by her words. He dragged her ashore and said helplessly, "Go and change your wet clothes." ”
Ten
As soon as Tong Meng changed his clothes, she saw Lin Jiu's secretary panic and invited the doctor, and she heard the secretary say to the doctor: "He has a little low-grade fever these two days, which is not serious, just now he may have suffered from the cold, and suddenly started a high fever." ”
After the doctor left, Tong Mengyi looked helplessly at Lin Jiu, who was lying on the bed, and said angrily: "Why do you still come to the team building and jump off the pond when you have a fever?" ”
Her fierce appearance was very similar to that of a teenager, Lin Jiu looked at her, smiled and said, "Next time it won't be like this." ”
When Tong Meng saw that he was obedient like a child, his tone also softened, and asked him: "I have cooked porridge for you, and you will drink and take some medicine, okay?" ”
Lin Jiu nodded and obediently ate both the porridge and the medicine.
Tong Mengyi became more and more relieved, subconsciously wanted to touch his head, and remembered that he was no longer the little boy he used to be, and awkwardly put his hand back.
Lin Jiu did not allow her to withdraw her hand, he took her hand and whispered to her: "You will also cook porridge for me tomorrow, and stay with me, okay?" ”
Tong Mengyi couldn't help but suspect that he was burned and confused, and probed his forehead with his other hand.
Lin Jiu also grabbed this hand and stared at her with pitiful eyes.
When Tong Mengyi saw him like this, he couldn't resist at all, so he had to nod his head in agreement, and then slapped his quilt to coax him to sleep.
Lin Jiu frowned after falling asleep, and she reached out to gently smooth out for him.
He always looked so unhappy, and Tong Mengyi remembered that in the past, she always teased him in a different way in order to make him laugh. She loved to call him brother, and she always loved to let him call her sister, but she was actually a few months older than him. At that time, Tong Mengyi didn't understand that this was like, and then he understood things, afraid that his own intentions would be discovered, so he was no longer so wanton. She thought of this, looked at Lin Jiu, and smiled: "It is indeed a younger brother." ”
The next day at noon Lin Jiu woke up, saw no figure of Tong Mengyi by the bed, he frowned and looked at the secretary.
The secretary did not dare to look at him, and stammered: "Tong Zong, she went to Yu Zong's cemetery early in the morning." ”
The light outside the window came in through the gap in the curtain and fell on Lin Jiu's body, who was in half light and half darkness, and did not speak for a long time. He knew that this place was not far from Yu Chenxi's cemetery, and he guessed that she would go to see him, these were just expected things, he laughed self-deprecatingly, and said, "Let's go!" ”
When Tong Meng rushed back to the villa, Lin Jiu had already left. Worried about his body, she called him, but couldn't get in touch.
After two days like this, Tong Mengyi still did not contact Lin Jiu, she was too anxious to sit still, and was preparing to go to him, and the income statement handed by the assistant hindered her pace.
"Are you saying there was a problem with the company's previous accounts?" She was stunned and spent several days investigating, only to learn that Zhong had also embezzled the company's money, and that Yu Chenxi had secretly filled in his own money. No wonder Yu Chenxi was too busy to see anyone during that time, no wonder the doctor said that he might have died of overwork. Yu Chenxi was so protective of Zhong Ye, but Zhong Ye was a person without conscience, after hearing that Yu Chenxi had an accident, he hurriedly withdrew his shares, afraid that the East Window incident would occur, and no one would help him cover up.
Tong Mengyi could not suppress her anger, and she had to pay the price for Zhong.
She asked the assistant to contact the major shareholders and prepare to hold a meeting, and then she thought of something and dropped a sentence: "No need to contact Lin Jiu." Then he rushed towards Lin Jiu's house.
Lin Jiu should have known about this matter long ago, otherwise he would not have led her to discover it.
Along the way, Tong Mengyi was thinking about the cooperation that was destroyed by Lin Jiu, in fact, there were indeed many that were not worth signing, she was a person in the bureau at the time for no reason, and later saw a little clue, and ran to ask him, but he laughed at her for being sentimental. His actions reminded her of the rumors behind her back, which made her angry and never thought much about it again. Now it seems that it is just that he refuses to admit it.
Tong Mengyi stood at the door of Lin Jiu's house and rang the doorbell several times without seeing anyone come out. She glanced at the small pebbles on the side of the road, picked them up and threw them at the window of his study.
Within seconds, the window opened. Lin Jiu looked at her with a look of resentment and asked, "Tong Mengyi, who allowed you to throw stones at my house?" ”
Tong Mengyi dropped the stone and said with a straight face, "Didn't you allow it?" ”
In the past, Tong Meng thought of this method when Yu Chenxi was inconvenient to knock on the door to find him. Once Lin Jiu did not want to go down, opened the window to signal her to go, she might as well let him suddenly open the window, the stone hit his forehead, and she did not dare to do so again.
Lin Jiu came out of the room with a black face, and before he could speak, he bumped into her arms.
She said, "Xiao Jiu, I've come to you." ”
After the two people expressed their intentions, Tong Mengyi managed "DOUX" well under the guidance of Lin Jiu.
She also loved to call him Xiaojiu in front of people as before, but he changed his attitude, always smiling and hugging her, explaining to everyone: "Spoiled, let everyone see the smile." ”
