Qiu Ruolan slowly awakened under Autumn Wind's glare. She gradually propped herself up from the bed and suddenly remembered something, so she began to avoid Autumn Wind's gaze.
Autumn Wind noticed the flicker in Qiu Ruolan's eyes and concluded that she was hiding something. "Tell me what happened at the Board of Directors yesterday!"
Did Autumn Wind ask about what happened at the Board of Directors? This means she already knows that I voted for Liu Jian to be the chairman. What should I do now? I can't reveal my true thoughts!
Qiu Ruolan smiled at Autumn Wind while organizing her words in her mind.
The theme of yesterday's Board of Directors meeting was the election of the general manager, a highly coveted position also known as "president." There were two candidates: Liu Jian and Qiu Hai.
Qiu Hai initially did not want to interfere in corporate management, but seeing Jolie's smug expression made him feel disheartened.
Although both he and Jolie were children of Qiu Xianglin, Jolie was born of a concubine and now had a share in Qiu Xianglin's holdings in HK, which made Qiu Hai extremely upset...
Moreover, Jolie had been sticking close to Liu Jian, and when combined with the shares held by Liu Jian, Liu Zhiyuan, and Lin Yun, it was quite substantial, forcing Qiu Hai to be on guard.
It was still yesterday's conference room, still hosted by Wen Zhibing, but today Lin Yun attended in person while Autumn Wind was represented by Qiu Ruolan.
Qiu Hai mistakenly believed he was destined to win, but he never expected that Qiu Ruolan would choose that guy Liu Jian.
49 to 51, Liu Jian secured the position of general manager.
Not only was Qiu Hai stunned, but even Liu Jian himself did not expect Qiu Ruolan to choose him. Qiu Hai signed the appointment letter on the spot, and before the applause had died down, Qiu Ruolan packed her things and left the venue.
Liu Jian left behind those congratulating him and chased after her. "Sister Shali, please wait a moment..." Liu Jian grabbed the corner of Qiu Ruolan's clothing.
Qiu Ruolan slung her bag over her shoulder and slowly turned around. She knew why Liu Jian was calling her. Without waiting for him to speak, she preemptively said, "Do you want to ask me why?"
Liu Jian looked into Qiu Ruolan's eyes and gently nodded. "Yes, I want to know if it was your decision or Autumn Wind's..."
"Does it make a difference? You're the general manager now; it's that simple..." Qiu Ruolan replied nonchalantly.
"..." Liu Jian fell silent.
"My point is, Qiu Mowen actually trusts you so much, I should trust you too!" She reached out her hand and patted Liu Jian's shoulder like a saint. "Remember to fulfill the promise to Ervin!"
Turning around, she walked towards the elevator with a rhythmic step, leaving Liu Jian with countless bewildering questions.
In fact, Qiu Ruolan's choice of Liu Jian was not as easy for her. After returning from the Qiu Hai Banquet, she couldn't sleep at night, her mind filled with thoughts about Autumn Wind and Liu Jian.
Although Liu Jian's relationship with Jolie made her very angry, seeing Autumn Wind in tears and Liu Jian looking reluctant always left her with a lingering sense of regret.
Qiu Ruolan suppressed her heartache and opened her computer, repeatedly watching the video that Qiu Mowen had left for him, listening to Qiu Mowen's deep voice explaining why he trusted Liu Jian so much and why he felt at ease handing over his most beloved person to Liu Jian...
The negative feelings she had towards Liu Jian slowly faded away as all of Qiu Mowen's descriptions of Liu Jian's qualities began to surface.
Could it be that she really needed to give Liu Jian another chance?
She rolled over on her bed and picked up her phone, calling Yao Lizhen. "Hey, what are you doing?"
On the other end, Yao Lizhen was surprisingly quiet. "I was about to sleep. Why are you calling me at this hour? Did something happen?" She cautiously inquired, thinking she understood Qiu Ruolan well.
"Yeah, you really know me. Let me ask you, how has Liu Jian been lately? I mean, is he happy? Or happy? Or happy?" Qiu Ruolan repeated "happy" several times in one breath.
Yao Lizhen chuckled. "What do you want to ask? Haha... Alright, I'm not teasing you anymore. From my observation, he is really sad... He has self-harmed countless times. Haven't you noticed he hasn't bothered Autumn Wind at all? He's been staying in the hospital."
"Self-harm? How come I didn't know about this!" Qiu Ruolan frowned.
"Aren't you in the mainland? Even his mother doesn't know... I think his condition has improved a bit..." Yao Lizhen took a sip of water and continued.
"Improved a bit? I saw him looking quite happy with that Jolie!” Qiu Ruolan replied coldly.
"Happy? Have you ever seen Liu Jian smile? Actually, I really hope he can get back together with Autumn Wind..." Yao Lizhen sighed deeply. "But this matter still depends on fate!"
"Oh!" Qiu Ruolan exclaimed. "Then I know what to do!"
"You know what to do!" Upon hearing Qiu Ruolan's response, Yao Lizhen exclaimed, "What are you planning now? I can tell you that your relationship with Autumn Wind can't be this peaceful. Don't try to arrange her life path with Autumn Wind again!"
Yao Lizhen warned Qiu Ruolan, based on her understanding of Qiu Ruolan, that Qiu Ruolan's previous words indicated she was about to impose her desired lifestyle on Autumn Wind again.
"Hey! Are you listening to me?" On the other end of the line, Qiu Ruolan was silent, which made Yao Lizhen feel a wave of panic. "Autumn Wind has grown up; she already has her own mature thoughts. Stop imposing your ideas on her! Do you hear me?"
Yao Lizhen shouted into the phone. If Qiu Ruolan were beside her, she would definitely shake Qiu Ruolan's shoulders vigorously until she woke up.
"Okay, okay, I got it... Alright, go to sleep! I know what to do!" Qiu Ruolan replied impatiently, clearly disagreeing with Yao Lizhen's earlier comments.
In Qiu Ruolan's mind, only she could hold Autumn Wind's life.
"Hey, this is my last time saying this: don't impose your ideas on Autumn Wind. You need to learn to communicate, alright..." Before Yao Lizhen could finish her sentence, Qiu Ruolan hung up the phone.
Qiu Ruolan was convinced that there was still love between Autumn Wind and Liu Jian; they just lacked an opportunity for explanation.
With this mindset, Qiu Ruolan took the initiative to ask to represent Autumn Wind at the Board of Directors meeting, where she would support Liu Jian. After the meeting, she further encouraged Liu Jian to win back Autumn Wind.
She naively believed that she was helping Autumn Wind and Liu Jian recover their lost love.
While Qiu Ruolan's desire for Autumn Wind to live happily was commendable, she forgot that even if a broken mirror is pieced together, it cannot reflect a complete image.
...
Autumn Wind's gaze remained cold; she urgently needed a reasonable explanation from Qiu Ruolan.
Qiu Ruolan snapped out of her thoughts and smiled lightly. "Don't be so serious! Are you asking me why I chose Liu Jian?"
Autumn Wind remained silent and simply stared at Qiu Ruolan.
"Well, I only considered that I don't like Qiu Hai but forgot that I dislike Liu Jian even more..." Qiu Ruolan said honestly; she truly did not like Qiu Hai.
Clearly, Autumn Wind was not satisfied with Qiu Ruolan's response, and her eyes reflected her confusion with anger.
"Alright, don't be angry anymore. Liu Jian also has shares in HK. I firmly believe that Liu Jian will not disappoint Qiu Mowen's expectations..." Qiu Ruolan replied to Autumn Wind with a hint of double meaning, pouting slightly.
Qiu Mowen's expectations? What was she referring to? Was she serious about the shares in HK? Autumn Wind's gaze softened with doubt.
Seeing that Autumn Wind's expression was no longer so sharp, she continued to smile lightly, "Okay, I need to change clothes now. Can you please step outside?" She reached out and pushed Autumn Wind toward the door.
Autumn Wind bit her lower lip and stood in the hallway while Qiu Ruolan gently closed the door behind her.
Sigh, what’s done is done; it seems like continuing to dwell on it is pointless, Autumn Wind consoled herself.
After closing the door, Qiu Ruolan sighed deeply, hoping this chapter would just pass by. She slowly prayed in her heart.
In the living room, Sister Liu was tidying up the newspapers that Autumn Wind had messed up.
"Sister Liu, just leave it there. I made the mess, so I'll clean it up!" Autumn Wind said as she walked down the stairs.
"Sis, there's no need to be so polite..." Sister Liu straightened up to look at Autumn Wind, but the sincerity in Autumn Wind's eyes made her swallow the rest of her words. "Alright then, Sis... I'll go busy myself with something else. Call me if you need anything!"
Autumn Wind nodded gently and sat on the sofa, slowly starting to organize the newspapers she had scattered. Her mood was very calm; this was a rare feeling since she moved into the villa.
She carefully flattened and folded each page of the newspapers. Of course, she didn’t forget to glance at other interesting reports on them.
Wow, there’s a cartoon exhibition at Eslite this week; I can invite Yu along.
Wow, Breeze Anniversary Celebration is hosting another event!
Oh, this one is about a concert held last night in Taiwan that was a huge success!
Autumn Wind widened her eyes at this news; below it was a group photo with Huang Zihe standing proudly at the front.
Seeing Huang Zihe, Autumn Wind naturally thought of Li Gu, and then Shaolan's appearance came to mind.
A chill ran down Autumn Wind's back, and he couldn't help but shiver.
Standing in the luxurious Five-Star Hotel, Huang Zihe looked down at the entire Taipei. Taipei was the last stop of their Asian tour, and last night's concert had been quite successful.
Today, the manager had given all the members of the group a day off. Although it was a day off, no one dared to go out casually.
Early in the morning, he heard that many fans had gathered downstairs for Lin Xiang. Going down at this time would simply be asking for trouble.
A few young guys were gathered in Huang Zihe's room playing video games together.
Huang Zihe stood by the glass window for a while when he suddenly heard someone knock on the door. He glanced at his busy bandmates and shook his head helplessly as he walked to the door.
The manager and the personal translator walked in from outside, with the translator holding numerous newspapers and magazines.
As soon as they entered, they piled everything on Huang Zihe's bed. The translator was a slender man with long hair, and when he spoke, it sounded a bit strange. He introduced himself as Hai.
Hai's greatest pleasure was sticking to Huang Zihe, and the group often joked that he liked Huang Zihe.
Every time someone teased him, Huang Zihe felt a shiver run through him; he certainly didn't think being liked by a man was a good thing.
"Ahe, I bought all the newspapers and magazines in Taipei! Look, today’s pages are filled with reports about our concert last night!"
Hai casually picked up a newspaper and affectionately exclaimed, "Look at this! This is today's Fruit Daily, and this is AG Daily... Wow, this photo of you is so handsome!"
Huang Zihe felt quite disgusted and jumped aside.
Hai slowly flipped through the newspapers. "Wow, these newspapers are really different from those in the mainland!"
He sighed repeatedly while Huang Zihe turned his gaze away.
"Ah!" Suddenly, Hai shouted, his face pale.
Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at Hai.
"You saw a ghost!" This was Lin Xiang's voice.
"No, look at this!" Hai held up a newspaper. "This woman named Autumn Wind, I know her! I used to work with her, I didn't expect she would be so wealthy!"
"Autumn Wind, that name sounds familiar!" Lin Xiang pondered for a moment. "Isn't she the one who had rumors with Ahe last time? Is she really that rich?"
"She really is!"
"It’s really her!"
The other team members put down what they were doing and gathered around.
No one noticed that Huang Zihe's expression had already changed dramatically. (To be continued.)
