C25 Chapter 25
At this point in time, the news was being broadcasted on the television. As she was eating, she suddenly heard the female anchorwoman's voice saying, "... Today, the Sihai Group Board of Directors finally reached an agreement on the acquisition proposal. This acquisition opportunity has always been promoted by the Sihai Group's current owner, ce Ye Nanqing. It is expected that once the acquisition is successful, the Sihai Group will successfully enter the United States market … "
Xia Huanhuan couldn't help but raise her head to look at the television. On the screen, a group of reporters were surrounding Ye Nanqing as he walked out of the Sihai Group Building.
The him in the camera was gentle, refined, and full of spirit. He did not panic even a little as he was surrounded by the sharp questions of the reporters. This kind of him was completely different from the him of that night.
Ye Nanqing's last words echoed in Xia Huanhuan's mind — —
"Then let's see how long this' impossibility 'of yours can last."
[What does it mean?] How long could "impossibility" last? She didn't know why, but she felt a faint uneasiness, thinking that Ye Nanqing might do something.
After all, from her experience with him, he was by no means a pleasant man to talk to. As long as he had a goal, and did not reach it, he would not give up so easily.
Xia Huanhuan thought as she stared at the TV screen.
Suddenly, a palm covered her eyes, blocking her view. Her eyes immediately sank into darkness.
"Stop looking!" The warm air sprayed into her ears and Jun Ziyan's voice rang out coldly.
Xia Huanhuan's body trembled. She wanted to pull her opponent's hand away, but his hand was still pressing down on her eyes, making it impossible for her to do so.
"Huanhuan, don't look at Ye Nanqing!" The person you are dating with is me, so you can't look at him! " He was even using that kind of focused gaze.
Just now, the way she looked at the television screen made him feel as if he couldn't breathe. It was as if every breath he took was starting to hurt. Even if she had told him that she had no feelings for Ye Nanqing, why would he still feel pain and discomfort?
"Are you lying to me?" he whispered in her ear.
"What?" Her ears were numb. When her vision went completely black, she suddenly had a strange feeling. It was as if her world was only filled with his existence at this moment.
"Do you really not like Ye Nanqing? Or is it just a lie, a lie? "
She paused and took a deep breath. This time, she opened his fingers one by one and pulled his hand down.
The light once again entered his vision. Xia Huanhuan looked at Jun Ziyan. His face was tense and his thin lips were pressed into a straight line. His dark eyes, however, had an empty stillness as he stared at her without blinking.
His gaze, in the past, had always made her feel afraid, because you had no idea what he was thinking at all. However, at this moment, Xia Huanhuan suddenly felt a kind of sorrow that even she couldn't explain.
She didn't want him to look at her like that and make her feel like she had done something wrong.
"I'm not lying to you. If I say I don't feel anything, then I really don't feel anything." She spoke clearly, "I've taken a look at his news, but that doesn't mean anything. As you said, the person I'm dating right now is you."
The emptiness in his eyes slowly faded because of her words. "You really didn't lie to me?"
"Nope." She shook her head, seeing that he didn't say anything, she said, "Why, don't you believe me?"
"No, I do." "If you say so, I will believe you, but —"
Gently, he took her right hand in his and curled the tip of his tongue around her fingers. He held them in his mouth and let them out slowly, as he had done ten years ago.
The fingers that he had sucked seemed numb, as if they had no strength to struggle at all. "But I only believe it once. If one day I find out Huanhuan is lying to me, then I won't believe it again."
So — must she lie to him?
In that instant, she understood what he meant!
What Jun Ziyan wanted was pure. It was as if he only wanted her to look at him, to think about him, to love her, and there was no such thing as a gray zone in many of his actions or ideas.
That was why he had asked her not to lie to him, no matter what the purpose of the lie was.
The applicant unit that Xia Huanhuan went to retake the exam last time finally called Xia Huanhuan and told her to find a time to come over to the company to sign the contract for the employee.
Xia Huanhuan immediately agreed to sign the contract the next day. After finding out, Lu Xiaorong was also happy for her friend. "The salary is all in accordance to your request?" Lu Xiaorong asked.
"Yeah, that's what he said on the phone." The fact that the work could be done also made her feel slightly relieved. Otherwise, if she quit her job at the clubhouse and didn't hurry up and find a good job, it would be difficult for her to live on her money for the next month.
"I've never seen someone like you, who has a rich boyfriend and is eager to find a job of 4000 yuan a month." In a city like B, this kind of salary, excluding the rent, was barely enough to cover the bill.
Xia Huanhuan smiled and said, "I always feel weird when it comes to dating people with money." At least, she wanted them to be equal.
"Yes, yes, you're right!" Lu Xiaorong said.
The next day, Lili went to the employer to sign the contract, and the HR manager who had originally interviewed her wasn't as serious as she was at that time. Instead, he greeted her with a kind smile and said, "Huanhuan, you're here, this is the contract, take a look first, if there's anything you don't understand, feel free to ask."
"OK, thank you, manager Zhang." Xia Huanhuan accepted the contract and sat down to read it carefully.
This contract was the same as most other contracts, it was just that the duration of the contract was a little too long, it was five years, and if one were to cancel the contract with the company, they would have to pay a fine of 300 thousand in breach of contract fees.
To someone like Xia Huanhuan who had just graduated from school, this penalty was an astronomical figure.
"Manager Zhang, isn't the penalty fee too high?" Xia Huanhuan said.
Manager Zhang smiled, "Because after you enter the company, when you start working, it will involve some of the company's internal secrets. Besides, the company is recruiting new people because they want to cultivate them properly. "But then again, the penalty is just a decoration. As long as you don't resign voluntarily, it doesn't matter."
The contract stated that the salary and income as well as the reward system were very clear. It could be said that the benefits and benefits were extremely good.
Xia Huanhuan pondered for a moment before signing her name.
The contract was in duplicate. Manager Zhang said to Xia Huanhuan, "It's okay, you can come to the company often when you have time. The company will also give you some work to get used to. Once you graduate and get the certificate, you'll be considered an official employee."
"Thank you, I will do my best." Xia Huanhuan walked out. Manager Zhang looked at her leaving figure, and the smile on his face slowly faded away.
Moments later, manager Zhang took out his cell phone and dialed a certain number, "Director Ye …" Yes, she has already signed the contract... "Okay, okay, I'll bring the contract over right away …"
After the call ended, manager Zhang looked at the contract in his hands and couldn't help but sigh. During the initial interview, he did not take this Xia Huanhuan seriously. Who knew that a few days ago, the company suddenly changed hands, and the boss behind the scenes was actually the CEO of Sihai Group.
Originally, Manager Zhang was confused about why Sihai Group was so interested in this small company, but today, he finally understood. It was all just for a woman!
"I don't know if this is a blessing or a curse." manager Zhang muttered.
As for Xia Huanhuan, she naturally couldn't hear him.
Since the job was done, Xia Huanhuan was naturally in a good mood. Even when she met Jun Ziyan, she happily announced, "I've found my job."
"Is that so?" Jun Ziyan said lightly, he did not have a happy expression.
Fortunately, his reaction was within her expectations. After knowing each other for so many years, if not for Jun Ziyan's expression, Xia Huanhuan might still have thought it was strange.
"I'll be treating today. Let's celebrate!" Although they never asked Jun Ziyan for anything or money when they were together, it was undeniable that Jun Ziyan was the one paying for most of their meals.
Xia Huanhuan was only able to afford the occasional supermarket or stalls.
"Celebrate?" Jun Ziyan raised his eyebrows slightly.
"However, I can only afford the cheaper ones. The ones that are too expensive are not the ones that I can afford." "Is there anything you want to eat, or play with?"
He shook his head. It could be said that ordinary things were completely unable to arouse his interest.
Xia Huanhuan glanced at the movie theater not too far away and made her own decision. "Then let's watch the movie. It just so happens that there's a movie going on for the next few days." Furthermore, the cost of the cinema was something she could afford.
He bit his lower lip and said abruptly, "Is this — a date?"
She stared blankly for a moment, then nodded and said, "It's a date. He took her hand and said, "Then let's watch the movie. I want to go out with Huanhuan."
Smiling, simple and charming, she noticed that she seemed to become more and more addicted to his smile. He didn't smile often, but once he did, no matter if it was a childish smile or a charming and beautiful smile, it would captivate one's soul.
