Chapter 3: Heartbeats at first sight
General Manager's Office
"General Manager, here are the documents you requested. In addition, we will hold a job fair next Monday, and the list has been prepared. Please take a look." Secretary He Ningqin. She is not only his secretary, but also his partner in this huge enterprise.
She is capable and shrewd, and she works cautiously, helping Lu Jinchuan to get to where he is today; she is considerate, like an older sister, not only taking care of his daily life, but also paying attention to his emotional world; she is gentle and gracious, and she easily captured the heart of the company's financial director.
"You are fully responsible." Lu Jinchuan gave the order directly. He trusted He Ningqin to do the job.
He picked up the key on the table and left the office. At this moment, he suddenly felt a little lonely and confused. He asked himself, what has supported him to this day? The busy and unchanging days made him a little tired. However, when he successfully won the contract with Chu's, he also felt a little relieved. The engagement with Chu Ruoshui was just a delaying tactic. After the contract was signed, the media broke the news of her ugly private life. With a daughter like this, he wanted to see if Chu had the face to let him marry her. A rich lady like her seemed to have nothing else to do except daily shopping. Fortunately, she was born in a rich family. What if not? Would it still be the same life? Lu Jinchuan shook his head.
In general, Lu Jinchuan is a person who has his own unique understanding of life. He has his own principles and bottom line, and will not be shaken by the temptations of the outside world. He believes in his own ability and judgment, and he knows how to go his own way. He is a trustworthy person and a person worthy of respect.
On the wide streets of City T, there is an endless flow of cars, and the hustle and bustle is mixed with the city's bustle and vitality. Although the speed is not fast, there is still an endless stream of vehicles and pedestrians, forming a busy urban picture.
Suddenly, a figure came into view. My heart tightened. Such a low-speed collision should not have happened, but it happened right before my eyes. A young woman suddenly fell to the ground, and her figure seemed particularly weak in the noisy street.
"Miss, are you okay?" I quickly got out of the car, walked to her side, and gently helped her up.
"It's okay, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." She apologized to me repeatedly, her voice revealing a sense of helplessness and confusion. Shen Wanning was thinking about Chu Haoyang's call just now, and she was too distracted. She apologized quickly. Recently, she always felt uneasy, as if something was going to happen.
"Are you really okay? Why don't you go to the hospital?" She looked pale and haggard, so I suggested taking her to the hospital. She had an oval face, shoulder-length black hair, and was 1.65 meters tall. She wasn't very pretty, but her eyes were filled with resentment, sadness, indifference, and stubbornness.
Coldly, that was the feeling she gave him. Was she worried about something? Although the scar on her forehead was not obvious, it must have been painful at the time, right? Lu Jinchuan, what are you thinking about? How could you think about whether the scar on her forehead was painful at the time? Maybe she was too nervous recently, and she thought it was her when she saw anyone.
"No, no, it's really okay." Shen Wanning thought about how bad things had been going these days. She didn't want others to see her in such a mess. Maybe this was how it felt to be abandoned? Why was he staring at her? Was it because of the scar on his forehead? Shen Wanning pulled her hair unconsciously. She hated this feeling. Did everyone think she was ugly?
"Get in the car, I'll take you to the hospital." When Lu Jinchuan saw her pale face, he actually felt something strange in his heart.
Shen Wanning raised her voice a little, and said firmly: "Really, no need, I'm fine." She was quite surprised, because she had never met such a persistent person. In most cases, people would choose to stay away from such a situation, but the person in front of her seemed different and a little strange.
Lu Jinchuan frowned and confirmed again: "Are you sure it's okay?" She didn't know him, that's how he felt. However, he had an inexplicable feeling, as if they had met somewhere before, but the strange face in front of him made him know that they had never met before.
Shen Wanning nodded and gave him a pale smile in return.
"This is my business card, Lu Jinchuan, contact me if you have anything." He didn't know why, but he just wanted to talk to Shen Wanning more and get to know her better. The familiar yet strange feeling made him feel very strange, as if there was some special connection between them.
Shen Wanning took the business card and said softly, "Thank you, I'm leaving now, I'm sorry, goodbye." It was my carelessness, why do you care? You once told me to be happy, I know, but now no one cares whether I am really happy.
We will definitely meet again, Lu Jinchuan murmured as he watched her leave. He had a hunch that they would meet again. He actually forgot to ask her name, Lu Jinchuan, is this you? Will they meet again, will she be herself?
Wan Ning, is that you? Will you be in this city?
When he returned home, the furniture in the living room seemed dull and boring. The restaurant and apartment he built for her seemed empty and deserted without the presence of a hostess. Her face flashed in his mind again, sad, pale, stubborn and a little indifferent.
She rejected him. Didn't she know him? Although he wasn't a celebrity, he often appeared in public, didn't he? But she didn't seem to know who he was, which made him inexplicably annoyed.
Annoyed? Lu Jinchuan, is this what you should think? To a woman you just met. A woman you just met? They couldn't even say they knew each other, it was just an accident, and it was because of this accident that she walked into his life, not just a passer-by.
The night is quiet and without any thoughts.
Wine, sweet, slightly bitter, that's the taste. It stimulates the nerves that beat for her. Lu Jinchuan, I think you are crazy.
Life is like a piece of Black Forest cake, which looks very tempting, but its inner taste can only be understood by tasting it yourself. And you, like a wisp of misty smoke, cruise in my life, but I don't know if you have been here...
Sometimes, I long for your company, even if we are silent, it can dispel the loneliness in my heart. However, you always put me in a corner, letting me gradually fade away in your memory.
I thought I was strong enough to laugh out loud when I was in a bad mood, but it turned out that only tears could make up for the silent pain. I thought I had grown up, let go, and become strong, but I found out that it was just a mask to cover up.
I came here to follow your footsteps. Are you walking too fast or are we following different paths? I found a cozy apartment in the suburbs. Although the space is not large, it looks warm and comfortable after some decoration.
For a whole week, I was busy applying for cards, mobile phone cards, transportation cards, bank cards, and bought some simple furniture with Lin Xiaoxi. I tidied up the room, and it didn't feel so empty anymore. Suddenly I realized that sometimes, we really should organize things, because there are many things that we haven't touched for a long time. Some have been shelved, some have been abandoned by default, and some have become waste.
Just like our emotions and our belonging, sometimes I feel like a child who lacks a sense of security, especially lonely, not knowing where to stay and where to go? Because I have been looking for a job, but the resumes I sent out have fallen into the sea, and there is no news. I stay in an empty house every day like a vagrant. It is inevitable that I have a lot of thoughts. Maybe it’s because I’m too busy. I have a cold and rest at home. But, isn’t my home a little too quiet?
I chose to come to this strange city just to be closer to him, but the distance between them did not get closer because of this. After coming here, I feel more strange. I don’t know if it’s because of him or myself? I think he has become very strange recently. Am I thinking too much? After graduating from college, he said he wanted to go to a big city to try his luck because he was unwilling to spend his life like this. She was a year later than him, so they had the opportunity to be together until now. They were only separated for a year, right? Why do I feel so strange? Strange.
The sun shines through the windowsill, and the warmth in the room is the happiness I have never had. I want to dry my moldy mood and look at the world around me. I want to go out for a walk, even if there is no specific destination. I don't want to be trapped at home for a long time, letting my thoughts drift aimlessly.
By noon, I was doing some housework as a way to kill time. Although sometimes it seems a bit extravagant to spend time on trivial matters, nowadays, time seems to be the last thing I lack.
The connotation of each city is different. Unlike the tranquility and peace of small cities, here is full of noise and luxury. Is this also a kind of inexplicable inferiority complex? For so many years, I have been laughed at and called an ugly woman because of the scar on my forehead. I don't know how many times I cried? But now I am used to it and I won't cry easily like before.
At that time, he, Su Yu, was by her side, helping her drive away the bad guys, chatting with her and making her happy. Later, he left, and no one cared about her like that anymore.
She blames herself and feels guilty. She says she can't be happy, is that right?
She liked him very much in high school. In order to go to the same university with him, she dragged Su Yu along every day. She asked him to help her with her homework because he had excellent grades, but she thought he didn't know that she studied hard because of him - Chu Haoyang.
I just don't know why Chu Haoyang suddenly treated me well at that time. In the past, he never paid attention to her, even though they became boyfriend and girlfriend. He knew very little about her affairs. Because she didn't say anything and he didn't ask, I later found out that it was because of my request.
Maybe, at that time, I didn’t understand love.
On a leisure afternoon, walking on a strange yet familiar street, I feel inexplicably sad. Maybe it’s because I haven’t found a job yet? I stay at home every day, submitting resumes online, but every time I submit a resume, it falls into the sea. Suddenly, I feel that it’s great to have a job. Every time I walk in front of a tall office building, I wonder when I can be like them.
I have always believed that we women cannot be parasites in life. We should have our own lives and our own happiness. We cannot rely on others for our whole lives, but we should live our whole lives slowly because of our friends. The greatest happiness in life is to have someone by your side at all times, no matter where this person is? Who is he (she)? As long as there is a need, he (she) will appear, isn’t that enough?
In this bustling city, there are a lot of cars and people, and there are a lot of entertainment venues. There are bars, cafes, nightclubs, snack streets and other shops. Hey, Chu Haoyang, why is he here? He wanted to go forward, but suddenly a woman who came out of the cafe came forward and took his arm, and kissed him on the cheek. Chu Haoyang didn't think there was anything wrong. Who is she? A beautiful woman?
Perhaps because he felt someone was staring at them, Chu Haoyang turned around and was stunned. Wan Ning? Why was she here? Wasn't she sick? Why didn't she rest at home and come out? It was really worrying.
"Wan Ning, listen to me." Seeing the tears in her eyes, Chu Haoyang knew that she must have misunderstood him, and stepped forward to hold her. Although he had taken care of her all these years because of the promise he made, it was not that he had no feelings at all. He knew her strength and stubbornness, but some things really could not be forced. However, he had always persisted and never gave up, never gave up on her.
"I don't want to hear it, I don't want to hear it..." He didn't refuse. What did that mean? Was it because he liked her? What about her? What did she mean to him?
"It's not what you think, she..." Chu Haoyang didn't know how to explain. They were indeed just friends, and he didn't expect her to approach him suddenly, although he was very happy that she was approaching him.
