"People from the Ye family." Jiang Junling grinned. His smile was as cold as the first snow. "No wonder they put in so much effort."
"What? Not reconciled? "The old man threw the white chess piece in his hand into the white jade porcelain jar, took a sip of milk, and asked aloud. "So what if I'm not reconciled? In the end, he won. I heard that you and that child had some unhappiness, and I just watched happily. You're still young, and he's also young. Why should old guys like us get involved in young people's affairs? "
"This time, he really made people look at him in a different light. Our Jiang family spent so much effort and spent so many resources. The matter that was already set in stone was forcefully ruined by him … This is no longer a child's play. This is a grand strategy that ordinary people can't plan. Even some people with high political intelligence ratings don't have this kid's brain … Think about it, how can a few children's jokes affect the decision of this level? "
The old man's eyes became deep, as if there was an endless river in them, and anyone who jumped into it would be drowned forever. He said in a low voice, "If this is just a coincidence, because that brat pushed it from the outside, it just so happened to conform to some people's intentions, and your Fifth Uncle's position was swapped, I can still accept it … But if that brat predicted this situation from the beginning, then you, young friend, are really worrying."
Jiang Junling pondered for a long time, and still truthfully said to his grandfather, "Perhaps, grandpa's worry about him is necessary … Maybe from the beginning, he had already predicted such an outcome."
The old man's expression became more and more dignified, then he grinned and said, "Interesting, really interesting. I've lived for so long, but I never thought I would fight with a kid … "
"Grandpa …" Jiang Junling clenched a black chess piece tightly in his palm. A person like his grandfather actually regarded Fang Yan as an opponent, where would the face of the younger generation be? He said firmly, "Fang Yan, leave it to me."
"Do you still have confidence?" The old man looked at his grandson with a burning gaze and asked aloud.
"I've never lost confidence," Jiang Junling said. "He is an opponent worthy of respect, but I will solve his problem …"
The old man sighed and said, "Why would I have a conflict with him? Such a person … How good would it be if they could become friends? I won't get involved in this matter, and I won't let them get involved either. Since you're the one who brought it up, then you'll be the one to take it back … But, let's calm things down first. The blow this time was too heavy. Since that person had made a move, it meant that they were already angry. He had to give them some face. Also, Swallow Dock isn't as simple as you think … In the past, everyone tried their best to ignore their existence. He didn't provoke them, nor did he give them any important tasks. You, on the other hand, let them take advantage of you. With Ye Daoling's position occupied, his future is limitless. "
"I understand." Jiang Junling nodded. "I didn't think it through this time."
"This is a dead knot. You can't untie it. Even if you didn't go to the banquet today, what about next time? What about the next time? There will always be a time when they meet. You're just a partner chosen by him. "The old man finished the milk in the cup and said," I'm old. I can't stay up all night. "
"Grandpa, I'm sorry." Jiang Junling said with a face full of guilt. If it weren't for his matter, grandpa would have already fallen asleep at this time.
"Okay, go back. Take a bath and have a good sleep … When you wake up, many things still haven't changed. You are still Jiang Junling, and he is still Fang Yan. Your sister-in-law may have some gossip, but you don't have to take it to heart. Women always have long hair and short knowledge. They don't understand the complexity and danger of the world. "
"Grandpa, I will go to Fifth Uncle's house to apologize to him." Jiang Junling said frankly. "This matter started because of me. I must give him an explanation."
Jiang Junling helped grandpa lie down on the bed, covered him with the quilt, and turned off the light in the room. Then, he closed the door and retreated.
Standing on the eaves of the corridor and looking at the pure white snow in the small courtyard, Jiang Junling reached out his hand toward the sky.
A small flower fell into his palm.
It was light and cool, but it didn't hurt or stimulate him at all.
He looked at the small flower and murmured, "Why do I have to lower myself to the same level as a small flower?"
The small flower felt the temperature of his palm and slowly melted into a drop of water.
"It will eventually be melted."
…
…
In a white shirt and black suit, Fang Yan, who stood in front of the mirror, couldn't believe that the handsome man was himself.
It was said that beauty was a feast for the eyes. Seeing a beautiful woman, one didn't need to eat. Fang Yan, on the other hand, was relieving his worries with beauty. When he saw his image in the mirror, all the awkwardness, embarrassment, and hostility that he had suppressed in his heart were swept away. He felt that his mood had suddenly become sunny.
"The clothes fit me very well, as if they were specially prepared for me." Fang Yan said with a smile. "Did they really prepare it for me?"
The man in black only responded with a smile and didn't answer.
"Right, can I see your president and thank her?" Fang Yan asked.
The man in black shook his head.
"No?"
"I'm just a bodyguard. I received an order from the walkie-talkie to bring you here to change clothes. "The man in black said. "I've never seen our president. I can only convey your request to the manager, and then the manager conveys it to the higher-ups. "
"… I won't force it," Fang Yan said. "Next time I have the chance to see her, I'll definitely call you …"
The man in black grinned and said, "That's great."
The charity auction had just begun, and the most exciting part had yet to come. But Fang Yan was too embarrassed to return to the scene.
Who knew if someone would misunderstand and think that he deliberately took off his clothes and ran around naked?
"These clothes … can I wear them outside?" Fang Yan asked.
"Up to you." The bodyguard in black said.
"Thank you." Fang Yan said. "Please send me out."
"No problem." The bodyguard in black said.
Fang Yan followed behind the bodyguard in black and carefully walked towards the elevator. As he walked, he prayed that he wouldn't meet any acquaintances.
"Fang Yan …" A familiar voice was heard.
Fang Yan turned around and saw Xia Xia standing in the brightly lit side hall with a smile on his face.
Fang Yan opened his mouth to smile, but the smile was incomparably twisted and painful.
He was too embarrassed to look into Xia Xia's eyes and said, "The auction has just begun … Why did you come out?"
"The assistant is here to help. I received a call and need to go back to deal with some matters." She looked at the suit on Fang Yan with interest and said, "It seems that you don't plan to stay anymore, do you?"
"They are playing here … Do you think it's suitable for me to stay here?" Fang Yan asked seriously.
Xia Xia thought for a moment and said, "Not suitable."
Fang Yan's face was filled with pain, and Xia Xia giggled.
Xia Zhi took a step forward and naturally held Fang Yan's arm. He said to the bodyguard in black, "Sorry to trouble you, I'll accompany him down."
The bodyguard in black knew that his part was over, so he took the initiative to press the elevator button and respectfully sent the two of them off.
The elevator descended quickly, and the scenery in front of them kept changing. The outside world looked like a blurry abstract painting.
"I'm sorry." Fang Yan looked at the world of ice and snow outside and apologized seriously.
"You knew it would be like this from the beginning, didn't you?" Xia Xia and Fang Yan stood side by side, not turning around to look at Fang Yan's expression.
"I don't know." Fang Yan said.
Xia Zhi frowned slightly. They were all smart people. If Fang Yan was still unwilling to confess to him, then wouldn't her friendship be a bit too much of a waste?
"I don't know." Fang Yan explained. "This is a big gamble. I brought my friends to make a big bet, but whether I lose or win … I can only leave it to fate. "
"This is not your style." Xia said. "Although I don't have many opportunities to interact with you, I know very well that you are a very cautious person."
"That's right. I am indeed cautious. However, sometimes I have to take the risk to do some things … "Fang Yan said helplessly. "When they target me, I can be lucky enough to defuse them time and time again. If they start targeting my family, my friends … This is too dangerous. I can't put my family and friends in danger. "
"That's why you forced Jiang Junling to make a move?"
"Yes, he has to cooperate with me in this scene. No one else can. "Fang Yan said. "Only when he makes a move will the pressure be stronger, and this bet will have more weight …"
"If, I mean if … What if you lose the bet?"
"So what?" Fang Yan asked. "I am a nobody. Everyone knows that I am a nobody … In their eyes, I have no dignity, no face, and even nothing to lose. Even if I lose the bet and get expelled by them … It will only make them laugh for a while. Maybe when they wake up tomorrow morning, many of them will forget my name. What do I have to lose? "
"For you, this is a bet you must win?"
"I may not win, but I will definitely not lose." Fang Yan said.
Clang …
The elevator reached the first floor.
Before the elevator door opened, Xia Xia turned to look at the side of Fang Yan's face and said, "For a while I was very angry, I was worried that I would also be your chess piece …"
"And now?" Fang Yan asked seriously.
"Now … I'm just a little worried. Worried that I will become your chess piece in the future. "
Fang Yan grinned, revealing two rows of white teeth, and said, "Xia, you don't need to worry like this, because we are friends. Very good friends. "
Xia Xia was about to speak, but saw a girl waiting in the snow, whose eyes were shining like the stars in the sky, and said with a smile, "So, what about her?"
