C238 (1/2)
The one sitting inside the car was Irene. These days, she had gone from being crazy, to being sad, to being scared, to begging. There were always many sad feelings in the world towards her, and they were almost all experienced.
Seeing that Lei Zichen had completely ignored her, and that no matter how she tried to contact him, it was useless for her to do anything, so in a moment of desperation, she drove an unremarkable car and waited for Lei Zichen to get off work, silently following behind. She knew that he definitely hated her to death, and she was afraid that she no longer had any chance to be with him, but she wasn't willing to lose him.
Lei Zichen stopped at the bottom of the old district, twisting and turning. If his whole person was in a quiet state, with a cigarette burning in his hand, the world would not change, everything in the world would be lonely, the universe would be cleared up, and every time, Lei Zichen would have a deeper experience. In the end, who lost who …
Irene, who was watching from afar, also turned off the engine. She didn't understand that this old and busy street would attract Lei Zichen's attention every day, but to be able to stare at her lover like that was already a happy thing for her. Why would she need to investigate the reason behind this …?
Once again, he raised his eyes and saw Tao Tianxue hurrying towards the corridor. It was the disguise he saw on that day. Lei Zichen suddenly realized that he saw her every day, but every day, he missed her …
However, could she really just forget about herself like that …?
She had never lied to him before, not even on that night that he loved and never forgot about. Yet, he was unwilling to let her go with an injured person's attitude, and now that he thought about it, her heart must have been really strong in the past in order to be able to face all of these changes, especially after Tao Ran's death …
As he watched her figure disappear before his eyes, Lei Zichen let out a soft sigh, turned around, and left.
Irene, who was behind him, also hurried to catch up. She really wanted to rush forward to stop his car, beg for his forgiveness, and hope that she could continue to have his love.
However, she no longer had the courage to do so. She could only silently look behind her in silence. No matter who it was, in love, they were just as lowly and hungry …
The sun rose as usual, and Lei Zichen arrived at the company early in the morning.
”Lei Dong, how's the business negotiation going yesterday?” As soon as he sat down, Uncle He walked in. He was an elder of the company and had watched Lei Zichen grow up. Even though he was now Lei Zichen's subordinate, he still had the attitude of an elder caring for his juniors.
”You said yesterday that you wanted us all to stay away. Even Wisely left after helping you pack up. Your business talks are quite mysterious.” Uncle He said with some dissatisfaction. From the beginning, he had always felt that Lei Zichen's way of doing things was somewhat imprudent.
”I have already handed over the business plan to them, and I increased the price of the purchase by two percentage points. With such favourable conditions and the Tao family's current situation, there's no reason for them to disagree.” Lei Zichen sat on a chair with his hands on his chin as he spoke.
”Lei Dong, why did you raise it by two percent on your own?” Uncle He asked with some dissatisfaction.
”To show our sincerity, of course.” Lei Zichen had a face of indifference. His feelings towards the Tao family were very complicated. Even if the acquisition was a success, he hoped that they wouldn't end up in such a miserable state.
”Oh, Director Lei, if we do this, the company will take on a lot of risks!” Uncle He was dissatisfied with Lei Zichen's decision.
”Don't worry Uncle He, my starting point is naturally for the good of the company,” Lei Zichen said as he lit up a cigarette.
”Ring, ring, ring …” The urgent ringing of the phone interrupted Lei Zichen's conversation with Uncle He. It was Lan Xin.
”Uncle He, let me pick up the phone,” Lei Zichen grabbed the phone and said loudly. ”Lan Xin, what's wrong? Is there something wrong?”
”Boss, the head seller contacted the shop owner again. They will make a deal in the afternoon, and at that time, we will act together with the special police officers that they sent out, disguised as plainclothes.” Lan Xin brought him new information.
”What!?” If this big boss appeared, he would know who this man who looked like Tao Weiguang was. After reading through the information, he even suspected that Tao Junting was not dead and had hidden away, leaving everything for his father to manage, while he himself was in charge of the part of the transaction.
”Boss, we need to prepare for the operation now. I'll tell you when the results come out,” Lan Xin said anxiously.
”Alright, remember to be careful.” Lei Zichen hung up the phone after giving his orders, but his mind started to stir.
”Alright, Lei Dong, you should get busy. I have nothing else to do.” Uncle He saw that Lei Zichen had already taught Ning Zhiyuan the project book, so there was no point in speaking any further. Thus, he turned around and left.
He was anxious to know the result, but he has a different identity now. Doing so would not only bring trouble to Lan Xin, but also bring trouble to himself.
What to do? Right, Auntie Zhong and the others aren't far from there. I wonder if they'll be in any danger?
Lei Zichen frowned. He suddenly realized that his mother and children were in this dangerous zone. No, he had to make a trip. After making up his mind, Lei Zichen grabbed his coat and prepared to leave.
”Lei Dong, there are some documents here concerning the advertising agencies of our film and television companies. I hope you can take a look at them.” Before he could reach the door, Wisely called out to him and handed him a thick stack of documents.
”I have something on right now. I'll tell you when I get back.” Lei Zichen was eager to see An An and Auntie Zhong.
