"Are we still going as planned? Get that project back?"
After Si Bo Nian got in the car, he closed his eyes to rest his mind and said wistfully, "Let's talk about it later."
"……yes."
President, what's going on?
The mood is very bad.
Did you encounter any difficult problems on this business trip?
Or is it related to the young mistress?
It shouldn't be, the president was on a business trip and he wasn't with his young wife.
Besides, the president was in a pretty good mood the day he left Luo City. Yes, it was the day after he went to the young mistress's house to deliver clothes.
This... who was this blind person who provoked him?
Lin Xiuchen drove back to the city anxiously, not daring to say another word on the way.
When the car arrived at Emperor Zun and was heading to the underground garage, Si Boyian suddenly said, "Go to the villa."
Fortunately, Lin Xiuchen's driving skills were good enough, otherwise he would have hit the height limit pole.
The president used to come here to rest and adjust after returning from business trips. Why did he go to the villa for the first time today?
Should I contact Ms. Liang for hypnosis?
When they arrived at the villa, Lin Xiuchen didn't dare to say anything and just waited outside the door.
Half an hour later, after taking a shower and changing clothes, Si Boyian came out, put his long fingers on his temples, and sat in front of the floor-to-ceiling window to smoke.
He looked a little tired and his eyebrows were furrowed deeply.
In just half a month, he lost weight, his mandible became more prominent, and his eyes became darker.
Lin Xiuchen couldn't hold it in any longer. He was afraid that if no one spoke, the CEO would sit there forever, "President, you haven't eaten for a long time. Yunzhu sent some food. Do you want to take a bite?"
Si Bo Nian closed his eyes, as if he could put away many things, "I saw her."
she?
Lin Xiuchen's first reaction was Lu Enxi, but when he thought about it, he was so scared that he almost sat on the ground.
No way!!
This...how is this possible?
But if he wasn't the person he thought he was, why would the CEO's reaction be so abnormal?
Lin Xiuchen didn't dare to say a word nonsense.
After a moment, Si Bo Nian's cold lips slowly opened, "She was injured, in the heart, and almost died."
Lin Xiuchen heard the sound of herself swallowing saliva, "That...rong..."
No wonder it took half a month for the CEO to come back. It turned out to be because of that person, so it's not surprising at all.
Si Boyian said, "If it weren't for her, I would be the one lying in the hospital now."
Lin Xiuchen could probably guess what was going on, but...but, wasn't that person already dead?
Si Bo Nian put his fingers between his eyebrows and took a puff of cigarette. The white mist rushed out and covered his facial features, hiding all his joys and sorrows among the faint shadows of the distant mountains. "She is not dead."
Lin Xiuchen was so clever that he seemed to have forgotten that the CEO could guess his inner activities by observing his micro-expressions, "So, CEO, you went to other places this time because you found out about her?"
When Si Bo Nian heard the information provided by his subordinates in Portugal, he had no time or mood to investigate it carefully. He flew straight to Lisbon that day. He did not expect to see Rong Yan again in this life, and he did not even dare to think that she was still alive.
In the first five days after arriving in Lisbon, Si Bo Nian kept asking for relevant information, but every time he went there, he either came up short or made a mistake.
So much so that he thought that maybe the clue given by his subordinate was a misunderstanding. The girl who died in the fire was no longer alive.
How can a dead person come back to life?
It was because he was so excited that he lost sight of it for a moment.
On the sixth day, the frustrated Si Bo Nian was about to embark on a journey back to China, but was suddenly shot at by an assassin at the airport.
In the thin line between life and death, she suddenly ran out and blocked the fatal bullet for him.
By the time Si Bo Nian realized who the man dressed as a woman was lying in the pool of blood, she had already fallen into a coma.
From beginning to end, they didn't have time to exchange a word.
Even after more than ten years, he still recognized her. He took off his cap and revealed the girl's waterfall-like long hair. He was so heartbroken that he almost suffocated.
This is the second time. This is the second time she has saved his life.
During the fire that year, it was she who tried her best to fight for a chance for him, but this time, it was she who stepped forward.
He waited for almost ten days, and finally hoped that she would open her eyes. He wanted to talk to her, ask her how she had been over the years, and how she came to far away Eastern Europe alone, but he didn't ask anything.
exit.
She blocked all his questions and concerns with one sentence.
"You go away, I'll pretend you've never been here."
It's her, but it seems like it's not her.
The innocent and pretty girl in the memory no longer exists, and the familiar pale face on the hospital bed seems to have had its soul replaced.
Along the way, Si Baonian had a lot of thoughts, but he couldn't figure it out.
He arranged for his subordinates to investigate Rong Yan's experiences over the years as soon as possible, but very little information was found.
There is no Chinese girl named Rongyan in Portugal's entry and exit records.
Among the permanent residents, there is no appearance.
Si Bo Nian smoked a second cigarette, and nicotine poured into his lungs in large puffs, but it was unable to subside a little bit of his emotions.
Every time he thought of the indifferent and distant look in his face, his heart felt cold.
What has she experienced in these years? Who has she met? Why has she become like this?
Si Boyian didn't get any news at all.
He seemed to be thrown into a huge abyss, with no end or light in sight.
Si Bo Nian borrowed tobacco to relieve the emotional pressure, put out the cigarette butt, and said coldly, "Send someone to Portugal. I must know what happened to her these years."
"Yes, President!"
Lin Xiuchen did not dare to neglect this matter at all.
He has known Si Bo Nian for ten years. The first time they met was at Harvard University. He had just arrived in the United States that year and was curious about everything. Facing the next college life, he was both looking forward to and worried because Harvard's courses were so stressful.
Everyone knows it.
At that time, he heard that there was a Chinese student who was so outstanding that he was like a superman. He was studying for two degrees in business administration and economics at the same time. He was three grades higher than his peers and was already in his senior year.
Out of curiosity, Lin Xiuchen ran to get to know this compatriot.
At first, Si Bo Nian ignored anyone's interruption. Later, Lin Xiuchen was provoked by a few black men outside the school. He was unable to defeat four people and was beaten to a bloody head. Si Bo Nian rescued him.
His crisp and neat skills make him look like a practicing martial artist.
At that time, he only knew that Si Boyian's English name was William, and knew nothing about his identity and background.
Later, being shameless, he always took the initiative to seek out Si Bo Nian for study and entertainment. Si Bo Nian talked very little, and he usually said a lot before he responded with one or two words. Despite this, the two of them gradually became familiar with each other.
On Qingming Festival, Si Bo Nian bought a bouquet of red roses and placed them in the empty garden of the university. They were silent for a long time.
Lin Xiuchen didn't know why and asked him, "William, what are you doing?"
Si Boyian said, "Sacrifice."
It was the first time Lin Xiuchen saw red roses being used to pay homage to the deceased.
Later, Si Bonian went to Stanford to study for a doctorate, and they separated.
Si Boyian completed his studies ahead of schedule and returned to China. He submitted his resume while writing his master's thesis, and was eventually hired by KM and served as assistant to the president.
Lin Xiuchen passed his master's thesis ahead of schedule and returned to China to take up a job.
The first time he stepped into the KM building and walked into the CEO's office, he realized that the favored man he had been stalking before turned out to be KM's young boss!
His legs were weak at that time.
Not long after that, he accidentally learned that the CEO had a childhood sweetheart who died in a fire a few years ago. The girl's name was Rong Yan.
