Planned Love

Ten minutes later, Hazelnut, the editor of Observing Weekly, who was the most interested in Hangcheng, arrived in front of me in a hurry and excitedly pulled me into her car.    

We talked for half an hour in the car, and half an hour was enough to explain everything. After that, we bid each other farewell.    

In the middle of the night three days later, on a certain famous website in Hangcheng, a recording inexplicably flowed out. Soon, the netizens recognized the man's name as "Sheng Yun" because the woman had called "Director Sheng" more than ten times. At the same time, based on the recording's live environment, conversations and male voices, it was highly likely that the recording would take place on the top floor of one of the most luxurious landmarks in Hangcheng, and was suspected to be the office of a business rookie CEO …    

Observing Weekly quickly analyzed the business scandal on the basis of the outflow recording. It also analyzed the male and female protagonists on the official website in the early hours of the morning. It pointed directly at the CEO of Shengshi Group, Sheng Yun, although no name was mentioned in the article, the hint was very obvious, and anyone with a discerning eye would be able to see through it with a glance.    

The article had even written down the entire process of recording the content. The scale was large, and the explosive power of the content was enough to create a huge wave in the Hangcheng business. However, the woman did not say much throughout the entire process. She did not reveal her name and did not know who she was.    

When the news came out, it was immediately reprinted on all the websites and the media. By the time the official time for work started at 8 AM, the entire city would already know about it.    

In the age of the internet, the speed at which the news spread was also astounding.    

Although I was mentally prepared, I took a deep breath when the news actually appeared in front of me. Through the seemingly serious but actually malicious and speculative absurdities of the news, I had a fleeting glimpse of those cool, cold eyes glaring at me angrily, and through the newspapers I had seen the other side of my own flawed and unforgiving nature.    

And this is not my nature. It's just that you're heartless and I'm unrighteous. If I don't, I'll never be at peace.    

I took a big gulp of water and comforted myself a little bit, but I still couldn't suppress the uneasiness in my heart.    

Hazelnut and I could be considered friends in the field. I was in charge of public relations, and I tried to maintain a good relationship with the media. We talked for half an hour in her car, and I didn't tell her that the woman on the tape was me, and of course she didn't ask.    

For Weekly, the selling point is the selling point. I had given her such a great favor that she didn't even have time to thank me. Besides, the recording first came out from the website. She only reported it first, so the responsibility could be ignored. The article did not mention Sheng Yun's name, but it was just a guess and there was no need to be afraid of Sheng Yun investigating her responsibility.    

I came to the office early, carrying a cup of coffee and a jacket. I stood quietly in front of the French windows, looking at the building with the highest level of Hangcheng in the distance.    

Perhaps, a bloody storm was about to arrive. And the one who will bear the brunt of the attack will be me.    

However, since I have made such a decision, I am not afraid of the consequences. However, this kind of life or death situation more or less made people feel sad.    

Last night, we were at the top of the building, talking about love; today, we are going to have a falling out.    

The situation has changed a thousand times in a single moment. I am quietly waiting, and I am even faintly anticipating Sheng Yun's reaction. But at the thought of those cold eyes, I was vaguely afraid.    

"Shubei, did you see the news?" "Haha, Sheng Yun is usually cold and cool, but he's actually so open-minded to actually bring a woman into the office …"    

At 8: 30 in the morning, Zhou Yihai walked in joyfully and said to me in a complacent manner. He was so excited that the muscles on his face trembled: "When this happens, Golden Age will definitely suffer! "Do you believe that today's stock market will definitely plummet!?"    

"It's just sex news. It doesn't have that much of an impact." However, the Shengshi Group was a great source of trouble, and no one dared to touch them. Now that there was a rift, the enemies would probably swarm over like a swarm of bees, causing the rift to become even larger … Zhou, this is a good thing for us. However, our original plan has to be changed. Let's just give up on scenario A. " In contrast to Zhou Yihai's excitement, I appeared exceptionally calm and collected.    

"No, let's see how the wind blows today. "Until the end, let's not jump to conclusions." Zhou Yihai gradually calmed down as well. He looked at me and said, "No matter what, Sheng Shi is still a piece of meat on our plate. Such a scandal will have an impact in the near future, but it will soon be suppressed. Shubei, you and Sheng Yun have been in contact for the past three months. With your charisma, it shouldn't be so. "    

His words stabbed into my sore spot. I don't know why, but my heart, which had finally calmed down, felt as if it had been doused with burning oil, making my heart ache.    

Yes, three months.    

After wasting so much time and effort, losing both men and losing troops, it was finally a sad ending.    

"I've tried my best. If there's anything I can do, I'll report it to you!" When my emotions came out, I couldn't help but feel a little angry. "Golden Age isn't that easy to swallow. How can it be possible with just me? Zhou, don't hold too much hope for me to let you down. I'm in public relations, not a lady. "    

My sudden rage made Zhou Yihai's face darken. I immediately realised that there was something wrong with my emotions, but it was already too late for me to say anything. Zhou Yihai is, after all, my boss. Usually, no matter how arrogant he is, he can't cross the border.    

I immediately relaxed my tone: "Zhou, my attitude was a bit bad just now. I was still angry when Golden Age didn't make any progress. Sorry, I was in the wrong."    

"Perhaps you've been under too much pressure recently," Zhou Yihai felt embarrassed and immediately put on the airs of a boss, "How about this, from today onwards, we will officially start plan 2. In three days, your department will come up with a set of public relations plans, and we'll discuss it in detail. "    

"OK, Director Zhou." I immediately restrained my expression and said respectfully.    

Only then did his expression relax, and his voice turned much gentler. "I know you've worked hard, so don't ask too much of yourself. If we can keep our eyes on the distance and enlarge our profile, there's no need for us to hang ourselves from a tree. "    

"Well, I know. Before the end of the year, I will give Director Zhou a satisfactory answer. " I squeezed out a smile and said to Zhou Yihai.    

"En, go busy yourself. Don't forget to hold a meeting later." Zhou Yihai then smiled in satisfaction and walked out of my office.    

After Zhou Yihai left, I let out a huge breath, a deep feeling of powerlessness instantly assaulted me. Sitting at my desk, my mind was in a mess.    

Just then, the phone rang. It was Xia Yiwa. "Shubei, why didn't you come home last night? Have you read the newspaper this morning? "    

"It was too late last night so I stayed out for fear of waking you up when I got home." I said lightly, "Did you read it in the newspaper?"    

"Our company has gone crazy from all the discussions, all of us are trying to guess who this woman is," Xia Yiwa whispered into the phone, probably because she was hiding in the bathroom, "My brother probably saw the news too, the morning meeting that was supposed to be held this morning was cancelled, but now, the door to the office has been closed and no one dares to knock."    

"Oh, really?" I had thousands of men and horses in my heart, but my words were calm.    

"Aren't you interested? I thought you'd be excited when you see it. Don't you usually like gossip the most? " Xia Yiwa saw that my reaction was flat, so she said, "Do you think I should go and comfort him? The newspapers had already published it, and everyone from Hangcheng had probably seen it. Many of my colleagues secretly listened in on the recording. Everyone was discussing in whispers. My brother loves his face so much, so he must be feeling very bad. "    

"It's better not to go in at this time. Although he treats you very well, you've only just met him, so you can't really grasp his personality. What if he's in trouble?" I felt like there were countless ants crawling around in my heart, but I could only analyze them with patience. I didn't want Xia Yiwa to notice any clues.    

"That's true, then I'll check the situation first. Remember to eat breakfast, don't be too tired from work. I'll listen for any sounds, then I'll talk to you later." Xia Yiwa said to me on the phone.    

"The same goes for you. I'll buy you some oatmeal. Remember to soak in a bag of oatmeal. Don't go hungry." I felt a burst of warmth in my heart as I said this to Xia Yiwa.    

After hanging up, the office fell into silence once again. The two assistants went in to report, and I didn't have the heart to listen to what they were saying. After hastily giving them tasks, I let them be busy.    

Had he done something wrong again? Why is my conscience so uneasy? My eyelids kept jumping, and I kept having the feeling that something was about to happen that I couldn't control.    

Staring at the huge "Sheng Yun" on the news, I could see the romantic feelings I had experienced over the past three months, and I felt an inexplicable pain in my heart.    

Even if he had not obtained anything, he had given him the greatest vengeance. How could he be so uneasy? This revenge, however, did not make me happy, and I suddenly felt confused about myself.    

On this day, it was as if Tianyi's entire Hangcheng had turned upside down. Almost everyone in the circle was enthusiastically discussing this matter and guessing who this mysterious woman was.    

After all, Sheng Yun never got close to women and there were rumors saying that he had broken his back. Ever since he became the General Manager of Shengshi Group, there had never been any gossip about him with other women. Sheng Yun was a cold and aloof person. Normally, he paid a lot of attention to his image, but suddenly, such a shocking rumor broke out, and his voice was loud and clear. This was a huge blow to his reputation.    

He must have guessed that I was the one who did it, and I thought he would come to me at once, or slap me hard in the face, or say something outrageous to me, or humiliate me.    

However, he didn't.    

The day passed peacefully, and when the clock on the wall pointed to six o'clock in the evening, I fell into a trance. His calmness, like his cold blood, surprised and shocked me yet again.    

Xia Yiwa told me that in the afternoon, everyone in the group received a document from the highest level of the group: No one in the company was allowed to discuss the matter, and the violators were directly expelled.    

After that, Golden Age kept quiet about this matter. Sheng Yun also presides over group affairs, the work, should attend the event, should show up, refuse to talk about anything that has nothing to do with business. However, looking at his expression through the screen, it was still as calm as ever, as if he wasn't affected in the slightest.    

In the week that followed, Sheng Yun and Shengshi Group did not respond to any of the major media outlets' guesses about how to make the news bigger, or how to exaggerate their competitors' slanders.    

I felt a deep sense of defeat, as it turned out, disregard was the greatest revenge against a person.    

Compared to Sheng Yun's detachment, I felt like a clown. No matter how much I jumped around in his world, whether it was a flower flower or an ugly horn, they would not affect him in the slightest.    

This week, Shengshi Group's shares had indeed plummeted just like Zhou Yihai had predicted. Even though this scandal had nothing to do with business, it had still caused quite a bit of impact to Shengshi Group. Needless to say, the pressure on Sheng Yun must have been unprecedented.    

I waited anxiously for the final result. I had a feeling that Sheng Yun was doing his best to deal with the bad effects of this scandal. And once he's out of it, he won't let me go.    

As I expected.    

One afternoon, Zhou Yihai called me into his office and handed me an invitation: "Golden Age is holding their annual celebration in Hilton next Saturday. They invited us to their company, so you and I are on the list."    

My heart skipped a beat as I took the invitation. My name was impressively written on it. The handwriting was firm and powerful, it penetrated the back of the paper, and the pen's edge was as sharp as a sword. It was written by Sheng Yun himself.    

I recognized his handwriting at a glance. Naturally, his personal invitation wasn't as simple as inviting me to come over to support him.    

When I saw the words "Xu Shubei," I broke out in a cold sweat. Just from the strength of those three words and the writing tip, I could already feel Sheng Yun's deep hatred.    

I'm the one who's going to get my blemish. He is more ruthless than I am. This was not an invitation, this was an invitation to the king. He finally managed to spare some energy to take care of me.    

I knew in an instant that what was to come could not be avoided, and would eventually come.    

Originally, I never thought that he would be so magnanimous as to let me go. He has never been this kind of man. Furthermore, he valued his reputation more than anything else.    

"Alright, I understand." I took a deep breath. With a pale face, I took the invitation from Zhou Yihai and said respectfully.
