Heartbroken and lovelorn

  He Xuejun's face sank even deeper, and he gave Chi Zhenfeng a cold look.

  Chi Zhenfeng didn't show a hint of fear, instead he gave a sly and charming smile to He Xuan's proud peach blossom eyes, then retreated back to his own office.

  In the vast space, it suddenly became quiet. He Wei still had a deep frown, full of thought, and his mind was filled with the scene just now, especially what Chi Zhenfeng said.

  Chi Zhenfeng has always loved to joke around, but he never would have taken it this far and involved emotions. Did he really overdo it just now? Why did he behave like that?

  Not bad, seeing Chi Zhenfeng and Ling Yuxuan being so close and familiar with each other, he felt a bit uncomfortable, thinking... they shouldn't be together, shouldn't have any connection outside of work. Was he defending Zhenfeng? Or was it like Zhenfeng teased him, being jealous?

  Sour grapes!

  As soon as he thought of this, He Wei couldn't help but shake his head in self-mockery. No, how could he possibly have such a reaction? He had only known her for so short a time, and yet he was already developing feelings for a woman he had met fewer than five times, to the point where he was even feeling jealous on her behalf!

  Needless to say, she is very beautiful, even more stunning than Tongtong. Tongtong's beauty is capable, free and easy, confident; her beauty, however, is unconventional, melancholic, and... I feel a strong urge to protect her when I see her.

  Moreover, as Chi Zhenfeng said, she exudes a unique aura all over her body. That faint melancholy, which doesn't match her age, makes people can't help but want to explore and understand, probably because I'm like that too. Besides, she always stares at herself, looking through herself to reminisce about another person, making it impossible for me not to notice her, more than other women, thus adding a layer of feeling.

  This feeling, I can't clarify and understand for the time being, but I can be sure that it's not jealousy. I don't have any romantic feelings towards her. The one I like is Tongtong... that kind and righteous angel.

  He decided to get up and walk to the window, opening one of the glass panes to let in a refreshing breeze that blew away his disheveled thoughts.

  On the other hand, Ling Yuqian, who had just left He Hui's office, walked forward with her head down, her mind preoccupied with various thoughts and emotions, so she didn't notice someone approaching from the opposite direction until she bumped into a sturdy arm.

  She quickly looked up and found that there were suddenly several more people in front of her. One was an old man in his seventies, with a slender figure wearing a gray and white Tang suit, elegant and refined, with sharp eyes. Another was a middle-aged man in his fifties, tall and handsome, dressed in a western-style suit, with a familiar face. As for the other men, they were all dressed in black uniforms, similar to bodyguards, and it was one of them who had just stretched out his arm to block her from the old man.

  Who are they? Employees of the company? Or, guests of the company? Ling Yuwen couldn't help but glance at them while guessing and thinking to herself. Seeing that the other party seemed to be staring back at her, she quickly withdrew her gaze, gave a polite smile, and swiftly moved aside with her slender figure. Only after they passed by did she continue walking. She had no idea that she became the subject of their discussion afterwards.

  "Hey, Niao, didn't you think that girl from just now was pretty good?" A questioning voice came out of the old man's mouth, loud and clear like a bell, with a hint of sharpness in his bright eyes.

  The middle-aged man looked stunned, his eyebrows slightly raised, "Dad... you... know her?"

  It turned out that they were He Yunqing and He Yihang.

  He Yun's clear and bright eyes continued to sway gently, as if muttering to himself, yet also seeming to say to his son beside him, "This girl is quite pretty, with a pure and elegant temperament, really not bad."

  He Yihang was even more suspicious, and couldn't understand why his father would suddenly take an interest in a young girl and give her such high praise. Everyone knew that his father's standards were extremely high, and he rarely praised others easily.

  The father and son had their own thoughts until they stepped into He Yu's office.

  He Wei, who was still blowing wind by the window, heard footsteps and immediately turned his head. Then, his cold facial features gradually relaxed, and with a smile, he had already taken big strides to welcome him over, "Grandpa, how did you come?"

  He Yunque's eyes were filled with kindness and affection, but instead of answering, he asked, "What were you thinking about just now by the window?"

  He Xuan's eyes were dazed for a moment, his thin lips curled slightly, "Nothing, just blowing wind."

  "Yu, looks like you're very busy, if it's too hard, just say so, Dad will help reduce your workload." He Yihang chimed in, also with a look of deep concern.

  He Wei shook his head and sneered at himself, "If I really spoke the truth, would you guys really let me off? Maybe you'd bring up past hardships again to give me a supplementary lesson in politics."

  "That's it!" He Yunqing sat down on the soft and comfortable sofa, gently stretching her legs, really starting to repeat the education of ordinary days. "Although our family is now wealthy, we cannot forget the hardworking days in the past. We must uphold the style of diligence and thrift..."

  "We must remember the party and our motherland, we can't waste money casually. We should use domestic products as much as possible. When buying a TV, it's TCL; when buying a computer, it's Lenovo; when buying a mobile phone, it's HTC. Let's try to support the economic development of our motherland with our money and repay our country well." He Xian continued, sitting next to He Yunqing, his handsome face drew a faint smile.

  Grandfather was born before liberation, and his life has been through countless setbacks, failures, and hardships. Later, he was appointed as a national cadre and served as the provincial party secretary, so he is extremely grateful to the country and the party. Even after retirement, he still remembers the good of the party and the country, and from a young age, he educated his children and grandchildren to carry on some good traditions that he recognized. As the oldest elder in the family, based on filial piety, everyone listened to him, and in daily life, they used domestic products whenever possible, even if some brands were not very good.

  "Look, A Yu remembers quite firmly." At this time, He Yihang added another sentence.

  "Grandpa's teachings, even if I forget everything else, I won't forget these." He Xiangyu's tone became more relaxed, and apart from Li Xiaotong, his family was also a side that could show his gentle side.

  He Yunqing said ambiguously, "That's not necessarily the case, it's hard to say, there are some things that will make you most unforgettable."

  He Wei listened, stunned, and gazed at his grandfather thoughtfully. Later, he changed the subject, "By the way, Grandpa, I've arranged for your birthday banquet, about a week later I'll show you the plan."

  "Great! I believe the PR department will give me a perfect birthday!" He Yunquei's eyes lit up, nodding repeatedly.

  He Weiyan pursed his lips again, "Grandpa, what gift do you want me to give you this year?"

  "A gift, huh... Hehe, it's up to you, mainly because you're giving it, Grandpa will like whatever it is. Besides, Grandpa believes you'll definitely think of something that will satisfy Grandpa!" He Yunqing said, his tone suddenly changing, revealing a hint of melancholy, "If you can get married, Grandpa would be even more satisfied and relieved."

  He Yu was stunned again, and He Yi Hang comforted him, "Dad, don't be sentimental, Ah Yu's marriage is a matter of time. He and Tongtong are well-matched, this cup of daughter-in-law tea, you've got to drink it!"

  He Yunqing no longer responded, only faintly smiling, with a dark surge in his eyes, the deep and mysterious pupils seemed to contain infinite profundity like the ocean.

  He Yu and He Yi Hang also fell silent, until Chi Zhen Feng appeared, breaking the brief stillness. Everyone gathered their emotions and went to have lunch together...
