Fortunately

Chapter 8
Yan Youwei's first reaction was: "So you did it on purpose today, are you taking revenge on me?"

"No, I really had a meeting all day. You couldn't wait to go first."

Yan Youwei was so choked that she had nothing to say, she could only sneeze to ease the awkward atmosphere.There were more people in the restaurant, and more and more eyes began to look at their table.Zeng Zimu didn't like this kind of environment very much. It had been a long time since he had been stared at in public like this since he left university.

So he offered to take Yan Youwei home: "You wait for me here, and I'll drive the car over."

Yan Youwei originally wanted to say no need, she just went back by herself.But when she thought that the task Ren Tingting gave her hadn't been completed yet, she got up and said, "I'll go pick up the car with you, it's not far anyway."

Zeng Zimu didn't refuse, and the two walked out of the fast food restaurant one after the other, leaving behind a group of people watching them silently.

Yan Youwei had already warmed her body inside, but when the cold air came outside, she sneezed three times in a row.Zeng Zimu frowned and said: "It seems that I really have a cold, I will buy medicine for you later."

His tone was natural and direct, with a bit of undeniable toughness.This reminded Yan Youwei of the past.Zeng Zimu has always been like this to her, he always obeys her in his bones, but he always likes to play tough with his mouth.For example, the biscuit incident they talked about just now, the real situation is that Yan Youwei wanted to eat this food that day, and when he called Zeng Zimu to complain, the other party laughed at her for 10 minutes.So she never thought that this man actually spent several hours to buy it for her.

That incident gave her a bad reputation among girls, but she really felt that she wasn't to blame.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but asked Zeng Zimu: "What happened to those biscuits?"

"have eaten."

"You ate it all by yourself?"

"Go back to the dormitory and share with my roommates. In fact, I covered it in my arms for a while, and the taste is not bad."

Yan Youwei really wanted to laugh out loud.Before they got married, she probably jumped up and gave Zeng Zimu a heads up.But now she won't, she has become reserved and cautious.Since when did the relationship between the two change?Maybe it started on the wedding night.That day was like a watershed, since then Yan Youwei has grown up rapidly.

Seeing that Yan Youwei was silent, Zeng Zimu turned to look at her: "Is it cold?"

"It's not cold, Sun Jinyang's scarf is of good quality. By the way, how is he doing recently?"

"Still the same, never grow up."

"You have matured a lot in the past few years." Yan Youwei turned his head to look seriously at Zeng Zimu by the light on the side of the road.The outline of this man is no different from before, but time has made him more stable and seems to be more resolute.

"With Zhimei in your hands, you are under a lot of pressure."

This is true.Many people showed unabashed envy and hatred when Zeng Zimu took over Zhimei.But they are not as careful as Yan Youwei, they only see his appearance on the outside, but they can't see the pressure and responsibility inside him.Sitting on the top spot of Zhimei is a glorious thing, but the burden that comes with it is also heavy.No wonder his clever younger brother always said that his life was miserable, and Sun Jinyang always lamented that he didn't have time to enjoy life.

It is not uncommon for him to have a meeting like this one day in his career as a chairman.Thinking of this, he recalled the scene of Yan Youwei waiting for him for a day, couldn't help shaking his head and laughing: "You are still as naive as before. If I don't come down, you just wait like this all the time, and you don't even eat?"

"We have always been like this when we run news, and we are used to it."

"So you often skip meals to wait for the news?"

Yan Youwei took a breath of cold air, and instantly cleared up a lot: "Most of the time, there is food to eat. Usually, when you go out to run news, you need two partners. One is responsible for tracking and the other can buy lunch. But half of the meal is eaten. It’s not uncommon when you’re at work. When you’re done with work, look at the lunch box, it’s already cold.”

When Zeng Zimu heard her say this, his expression was a little dignified.It's just that the lights on both sides of the road were not bright, and his whole body was hidden in the darkness, so Yan Youwei never noticed the slight frown on his brow.But he just wrinkled, and soon stretched out again.He withdrew his gaze from Yan Youwei and stared straight ahead.

Yan Youwei still said to himself: "Today's situation is special. I'm afraid that your old man will be too arrogant to see strangers, so Tingting let me come alone. Who would have thought that the security guards in your building would be closed from morning to night? Laughed at me behind my back."

"Feeling unconvinced and aggrieved? Then why don't you leave. You are not always very chic, so why wait all day foolishly?"

"Do you think I do?" Yan Youwei sighed softly, "If this matter was only about me, I would have left today after waiting for an hour. But now this matter involves Tingting's work, I cannot be ungrateful. I was brought into the newspaper office by her, and if I cause her to lose her job, I will feel sorry."

Zeng Zimu endured it but still couldn't hold it back, showing a disdainful expression: "It's a pity that this woman Ren Tingting doesn't go to acting. If she wants to enter the film industry, the Oscar queen has to give her way. She must tell you this Things must be done, if not, not only will you lose your job, but her job will also be lost, right?"

"how do you know?"

"Idiot. She is sure that you are soft-hearted and easy to deceive, and used the friendship of old classmates to deceive you." Zeng Zimu hated iron for steel, and raised his hand to give Yan Youwei a chestnut.

Yan Youwei rubbed his head and bared his teeth: "Why did you hit me?"

"Ren Tingting's ex-husband, Lou Haiping's father, is a member of the board of directors of your group. As long as Lou Haiping is alive, her Ren Tingting's job cannot be ruined. You are usually very smart, don't you understand this?"

"Aren't they divorced?"

"If Lou Haiping was the kind of person who would murder his ex-wife as soon as they got divorced, then Ren Tingting would have left long ago when they divorced. Would a smart person like Ren Tingting not understand? She relied on Lou Haiping's relationship to be listed in the newspaper office. If she has a firm foothold, if the backer falls, she will never be shameless and rely on it. With her ability, she can't find a satisfactory job?"

The two of them had already walked to Zhimei's building while they were talking, Yan Youwei couldn't help shaking his head and laughing when they stepped into the lobby: "You seem to know Tingting better than me."

"That's because I have brains."

Zeng Zimu strode forward, greeted the security guard, then took Yan Youwei to the high-rise special elevator, and went directly down to the underground parking garage.Yan Youwei didn't come back to her senses until she got out of the elevator, Zeng Zimu just turned a corner and scolded her brain.She gave him an annoyed look, and happened to see Zeng Zimu looking at her with a smile on his face.

This smile is really long gone.In my impression, when he was young, he didn't like to laugh too much, and he was more cool.When I was in middle school, I slowly started to change my personality. The little kid king who used to be quiet and quiet began to take the route of complaining.Of course, this change of his was only aimed at Yan Youwei, and he was still as indifferent and alienated as before towards others.

Probably from that time on, Zeng Zimu always liked to smile like this when he looked at her.Usually after he finished complaining about her.But after the two got married, this kind of situation almost never happened again.Sometimes Yan Youwei recalled her marriage with Zeng Zimu, thinking it was a disaster.The good friend who used to talk about everything suddenly became the most familiar stranger.Even when they were most intimate on the bed, she felt that there was a deep gap between the two of them, and she couldn't bridge it no matter what.

She is now a little rejoicing about the divorce. Even though she lost the most enviable and perfect husband in the world, the intimacy of childhood friends seems to have returned a little bit.On the way to drive to her house, Yan Youwei boldly began to push forward again: "Our newspaper wants to conduct an exclusive interview with you, can you?"

"No."

"why?"

"You know, I've never liked the limelight."

Yan Youwei had nothing to say, so he had to settle for the next best thing: "Then help me get the interview certificate for Zhang Hela's maiden voyage. Tingting told me that if I fail to complete the mission, I will have to kill her alive later."

Zeng Zimu thought for a while, then said loosely, "Let me think about it."

"Do you still need to think about it? Look at Lou Haiping, he is still a friend after the divorce, and he still takes care of Tingting like this. Can't you take care of me? At least don't make me feel that I know you for nothing."

Zeng Zimu glanced at her: "Do you want me to introduce you to a job? If you think you are qualified, you can choose any job in your group except the chairman."

Yan Youwei was taken aback, and quickly declined: "No need, I'm quite satisfied with my current job. Just enough food and drink, I don't want to be too tired, living like you has no ego, and is bound by work all day long , how boring."

Zeng Zimu turned a corner into Yan Youwei's community, and the moment the car stopped, he commented on his ex-wife: "He has no heart, no ambition, and he is talking about people like you."

"Yeah, I really don't have any ambitions. How else would I let you go? My request is so simple. It doesn't require your sacrifice or cost you a penny. Giving Zhang an interview card is so simple. Difficult? It’s a win-win for you too.”

Zeng Zimu sat there thinking for a moment: "Take me to dinner."

"It seems that someone said he didn't have time before."

"Now I have time. This Saturday at ten o'clock in the morning, you wait for me at the central square." Speaking of which, he added, "Bring Yangyang."

"why?"

"Although Yangyang is young, he can already speak. I want to hear him say thank you to me personally."

"Okay." Yan Youwei felt that he was really immoral, and even betrayed his own son for work.She thought for a while and then asked, "Any other requests?"

Zeng Zimu stretched out his hand to her, and his slender jade-like fingers waved in front of Yan Youwei's eyes: "Give me Sun Jinyang's scarf."
