Zhao Xueqing was the child of Zhao Hucheng's deceased wife. Wei Fang used to be a little cold to her. Her college living expenses were also intermittent. Sometimes, she didn't even have money for food, let alone cosmetics and clothes.
At that time, she was in her first year of college, and Ye Haochen was already in his fourth year. He founded the Sweet desserts brand and opened several branches in the university town and the entire Zhonghai.
Zhao Xueqing once applied for a job at Huadong University. Normally, they didn't hire part-time workers, but Ye Haochen sympathized with Zhao Xueqing's difficulties and hired her directly.
Moreover, Ye Haochen took care of her and helped her a lot in college. He even let her be the store manager and gave her a good salary.
It was because of this part-time job that Zhao Xueqing was able to establish herself in Zhonghai. She lived a carefree life and successfully completed her studies.
Not only that, Ye Haochen also taught Zhao Xueqing a lot of management skills and even changed her timid and inferior personality. He was indeed a good teacher and helpful friend.
…
After graduation, it wasn't as simple as it was in school. Everyone had their own difficulties.
Sister Xu didn't ask much. She suddenly smiled mysteriously and said, "But Qinger, do you know that Ye Haochen actually likes you?"
"What are you kidding about? I'm just a country girl from Lin Zhou. Why would he like me?" Zhao Xueqing didn't believe it at all.
"You don't know. Once, it was raining heavily. He saw that you didn't have an umbrella in the shop and waited for the rain to stop under a tree by the roadside … He asked me if I had an umbrella. I said yes. He said that even if I did, I should use his umbrella and leave it for me. Then, he rushed out, used his windbreaker to block the rain, and ran back to school with you …" Sister Xu said with a smile.
"Haha, that's nothing. Maybe he likes to be in the rain!" Zhao Xueqing's face was a little unnatural as she smiled faintly.
He was very good. His vision was broad, his ability was extraordinary, and he treated people very well. He was a popular figure in school. Many female students liked him back then and he was known as the most handsome senior. Now, he had become a big entrepreneur. In everyone's eyes, he was a golden bachelor, a successful person.
However, not to mention that Ye Haochen didn't make their relationship clear back then, even if he did, she wouldn't regret being with Jiang Tian.
In her heart, no one could compare to Jiang Tian. You have your good points. You are elegant and unrestrained. You have your family background. You have outstanding abilities. Those are all very good. But I just don't like them.
Zhao Xueqing stopped asking about Ye Haochen.
Sister Xu began to show off her life over the years.
High salary, flying around the world every day, marrying a rich second-generation heir with tens of millions in assets, buying a big house in Xuhui District, and even the BMW SUV outside was hers …
However, Sister Xu introduced him as if she was familiar with her family treasures. "Ye Haochen is very powerful now. If you were with him back then, you would have definitely become a phoenix!"
"His father is now the mayor of Zhong Hai City, and he is the leader of the rich second generation in Zhong Hai."
"He's our Zhi Cheng Investment Company, and he specializes in venture capital. He invests in high-tech companies, and then he packages them to be listed in Hong Kong before getting listed overseas! He's worth tens of billions! This kind of business is simply robbery! "
"You know about Penguin, right? Hua Xia's largest instant messaging software. He has 10% of the shares. It's said that it will be listed in five years. By then, he will be the new rich of Hua Xia! "
"You don't know how powerful Brother Ye is. Last time, I accompanied Brother Ye to meet with a rich man in Yan Jing to discuss some cooperation matters. During the dinner, the son of that rich man touched me. Brother Ye slapped him directly. Guess what? You think that boss will explode? Wrong. He was so scared that he was about to cry. He even asked his son to apologize to me. That rich man is so powerful. His uncle was once a deputy national leader. He is also a regular on the Forbes list! "
She also kept saying that Ye Haochen must have had a crush on Zhao Xueqing back then. She felt sorry for Zhao Xueqing for missing out on Ye Haochen.
Jiang Wan 'er, who was eating dessert, smiled disdainfully and said, "Auntie Xu, that's not very good. She's already married!"
"Huh? Who is she? "Sister Xu was slightly stunned and said with a smile.
"This is my husband's cousin. Her name is Jiang Wan 'er!"
"You're so mischievous! Don't interrupt when adults are talking! "Sister Xu pinched Jiang Wan 'er's little face, causing her to roll her eyes.
Seeing that Zhao Xueqing was a little cold, Sister Xu said with a smile, "You're already married. How are you doing? Are you happy? "
"Mm, my husband is very good … He's very good to me too!" Zhao Xueqing said with a smile.
"You're married? That's too bad! "
Sister Xu had also heard that Zhao Xueqing's marriage was not very happy. She had pretended not to know before.
…
Zhao Xueqing looked at the time and said with a smile, "Alright, Sister Xu. My plane is about to take off. Let's talk next time!"
"I'll send you off!"
Sister Xu quickly got up and sent Zhao Xueqing out. She then opened the door of the Mercedes-Benz SUV.
"I don't think that's a good idea. You're still working. It's too much trouble for you. I'll just take a taxi!" Zhao Xueqing said with a smile, a little embarrassed.
"It's no trouble!" Sister Xu smiled and pushed Jiang Wan 'er and Zhao Xueting into the car.
They arrived at Zhonghai International Airport.
Seeing that Sister Xu had also taken out her ticket and boarding pass, Zhao Xueqing was stunned. She said, "Why are you also …"
"Hehe, actually, I'm going to Singapore on a business trip too, and I'm going with Ye Haochen!"
Sister Xu smiled slyly and said, "Are you looking forward to it?"
"Looking forward to what?"
Zhao Xueqing frowned and said, "But I'm quite surprised. What a coincidence!"
Sister Xu rolled her eyes and thought to herself, "Keep pretending. That useless husband of yours can't stop you from loving Ye Haochen.
Back then, you were his follower. Now, he's on a higher level. "
…
They arrived at the boarding gate.
A group of rich second-generation heirs of Zhonghai stood there chatting and laughing with a handsome young man.
Ye Haochen's father was the mayor of Zhonghai, Ye Weihao. His grandfather was the economic tycoon, Ye Qide. Hua Xia's first Securities Law was completed by him. He was also doing well in the investment industry, with a compound annual return of 100%. Naturally, he was admired by a group of friends.
Their topics were very high-end. Basically, they talked about business opportunities, the opportunities and risks of emerging markets in Southeast Asia, and listing in the United States and Hong Kong.
Zhao Xueqing didn't rush up to greet them. She stood aside and lowered her head to tease Jiang Wan 'er.
She even heard from a rich second-generation heir that Ye Haochen had bought a sea-view villa in Singapore worth 300 million and spent tens of millions on a yacht.
A rich second-generation heir said enviously, "Your Zhicheng Investment report this year is out, right? You have plans to expand into Southeast Asia? That's an international financial tycoon! "
Ye Haochen smiled and said, "My dad doesn't have that much power. I'm just a partner. You know Fang Zhanbo, the finance professor in Hong Kong, right? They want to develop Southeast Asia and establish a Southeast Asian Financial Revitalization Society. He's my grandfather's junior who was a visiting scholar in the United States. He invited me to join. It's just a small matter … "
Behind them sat a group of middle-aged men with a white-haired old man in the center.
Zhao Xueqing recognized the old man. He was Ye Haochen's grandfather, Ye Qide.
When there was a break, Sister Xu pointed at Zhao Xueqing and said with a smile, "Chairman Ye, look who's here?"
"Xueqing?"
The moment he saw Zhao Xueqing, Ye Haochen was pleasantly surprised. He quickly walked over and shook hands with Zhao Xueqing. He said, "I was wondering why Xu Jie was dragging her feet. It turns out that she came with you! Why? You're also on this flight? "
"Yeah, I'm going to Singapore to accompany my husband. He's traveling there!" Zhao Xueqing smiled.
"Oh, so that's how it is …" Ye Haochen looked at Zhao Xueqing with a complicated expression.
She was wearing a short white trench coat with a white shirt and black silk leggings. Her delicate, snow-white ankles were exposed between her high heels.
Although it was simple, he could see that the tailoring was decent. The stitches were dense, so it should be a good brand.
But for some reason, when he saw this well-behaved girl who followed him around in university, he felt that her temperament was otherworldly. She was elegant and peerless, with a trace of charm. It made his heart flutter.
"You're going to Singapore too? What a coincidence. Other than business activities, I'm also planning to travel there for a few days. Let's go together. Did you change your phone number? "Ye Haochen asked.
"No, it hasn't. But we'll see when the time comes. I have a lot of things to do, so I might not have the time! "Zhao Xueqing smiled.
"Oh, that's good. Let's see when the time comes!" Ye Haochen looked at Zhao Xueqing in surprise.
A few years ago, whenever he arrived at Huadong University, Zhao Xueqing would always ask to meet him. She would follow him around like a shadow, whether it was to report about work or to ask him to answer questions about her life and studies … But this time, when he took the initiative to invite her, she was neither cold nor warm.
He could no longer see the worship in her eyes or the blush on her pretty face. Was it because she was married?
That couldn't be right. He heard her classmates say that her husband was a good-for-nothing and that their marriage was very unhappy …
He didn't know why, but he felt a little unwilling.
Ye Haochen was silent for a moment, then smiled and said, "My dad wants me to move the company overseas. He said there are more opportunities in the emerging markets here … In the future, we won't be able to see each other so easily!"
Zhao Xueqing looked at him in shock.
Ye Haochen saw her expression and felt a little proud in his heart. A sense of accomplishment gradually surged.
However, after a short silence, Zhao Xueqing smiled and said, "How can that be? Aren't you going back to China? If you go to Jinling for business, we can still see each other. I'll introduce my husband to you then. It'll be helpful for your career! "
"Really? Haha … "Ye Haochen's smile was a little stiff.
What a polite tone. Also, your husband will help my career? What did that mean? Hua Xia, there were only a few young people who could help me!
Zhao Xueqing looked at the boarding gate. The boarding had already begun.
She pulled Jiang Waner away and said lightly, "Senior Ye, you're so amazing! Everyone, do your best! "
"Yes, it's time to board!"
Ye Haochen looked at her back and felt a sense of unwillingness and loneliness that could not be erased from his heart.
She didn't even ask which country I was going to …
This "amazing", can you not be so perfunctory?
Moreover, from the beginning to the end, she had been looking in the southeast direction. Was she looking forward to meeting her husband?
He wasn't too sure about this, but he was sure that what she was looking forward to had nothing to do with him.
So frustrating …
