3 Asking despite knowing the answer
2340 Words
Zhu Yiyi's heart skipped a beat, and she blinked, realizing that He Shen was only looking at her upper body.
She was stunned.
She turned to look at the others, only to find that they were all standing respectfully, and she was the only one sitting there brazenly!
The look in Amy's eyes when she looked at her said: Honey, are you going to rebel?
She jumped up from her chair, "No, no."
He Shen didn't say anything, and the others were also silent.
He looked at her across the conference table.
After waiting for a while, he was sure that she had nothing to say, and then he nodded and said, "The meeting will begin now."
Zhu Yiyi's heart, which had been in her throat, finally let go.
As long as there were no mistakes at work, Amy was always tolerant, and she turned around and winked at her to comfort her.
The theme of this meeting was the costume drama "Chao Luan" that was about to be filmed.
This drama is adapted from the ancient costume fairy tale novel "Palace Chaoluan" which has been popular in the past two years. It is a hot IP. The copyright was bought by Shishun Media and will start filming soon. The company attaches great importance to the project with an investment of nearly hundreds of millions of yuan. It is no wonder that He Shen himself will hold the meeting in person.
After the whole meeting, Zhu Yiyi's keyboard was almost broken.
Finally, the core task of the publicity and planning department was obtained-
The publicity and promotion plan for the start of filming and subsequent release of this drama, in plain words, is to create momentum, form CPs, and attract traffic.
He Shen sat back in the main seat and tapped the table with his index finger: "Do you have any questions?"
After a few minutes, no one responded.
He Shen: "The meeting is over."
Like a taut string allowed to relax, the atmosphere of the entire conference room was much more relaxed.
People dispersed one after another.
Zhang, the special assistant of the secretariat, was sorting out the meeting materials for He Shen and whispered: "Mr. He, there is another video conference in the evening."
Zhu Yiyi, who followed Amy out, heard the voice and subconsciously looked over.
He Shen looked back inadvertently.
When their eyes met, it was like an undercurrent surging under the calm lake.
Zhu Yiyi's eyes burned, and she immediately retracted them and walked out with her head down.
The moment she stepped out of the door, she heard the man behind her say: "Come in advance at noon."
"Okay, then Mr. He in the evening?"
"Private business."
-
In the evening, He Shen finished work, took his mobile phone, and habitually sent a message to Zhu Yiyi.
Opening WeChat, I found that they had not chatted for a long time.
The chat history was still last month.
Yiyi: The key is still at the entrance of the apartment.
Yiyi: Thank you for your care this year.
He Shen never replied to these two messages.
He clicked "Multiple Message Selection" expressionlessly, kept checking up, and finally deleted it with one click.
Until the message record stopped when they had not broken up.
It was a voice message.
At midnight, Zhu Yiyi whispered, "Good night, dear Mr. He Shen."
He Shen heard it over and over again.
In early autumn in Beijing, the sunset glowed red across half the sky, and the light refracted back and forth between the towering buildings. It was time for the employees to get off work.
He Shen calculated the time and sent two messages.
He Shen: Are you off work?
He Shen: I'll take you back to the apartment.
It was still the same tone and sentence structure as before as if they had never broken up.
Zhu Yiyi: Off work.
Zhu Yiyi: No need, Mr. He, I'm already on the subway, and I'll probably be at your house in a while.
She replied in a distant and indifferent tone.
It seemed that she wanted to carry out what she said on the day of the breakup to the end - return to the original position.
He Shen turned his phone upside down on the table.
After a long time, he replied: Yes.
-
On the other side, Zhu Yiyi walked out of the subway station and went to "Jiayue Bay".
It was the most luxurious residential area in Beijing, with hundreds of thousands per square meter.
He Shen's apartment was inside.
Zhu Yiyi remembered that the first time she came to this place where every inch of land is worth a lot of money was because she was delivering an expedited document to He Shen.
On a rainy day with thunder and lightning, she said everything she could, but the security guard still stopped her outside the gate of the residential area, saying contemptuously: "What do you think this place is? You can come in casually, I don't want to work anymore! A poor person like you can't even afford a toilet here even if you work all your life!"
Zhu Yiyi was soaked, like a drowned chicken, and she walked back in frustration.
"Wait."
A rapid sound of footsteps suddenly sounded in the rain.
Zhu Yiyi was stunned.
The next moment, a black umbrella covered her head, shielding her from the wind and rain.
She looked up suddenly.
He Shen held an umbrella with one hand: "Sorry, I just received a call from the special assistant. He said someone sent an expedited document, but there was no personal contact information for me, so he has been waiting outside the community."
Zhu Yiyi thought of her current embarrassment and was too ashamed to face people. She lowered her head and spoke in a low voice: "Mr. He, the document."
She offered it with both hands.
But he didn't take it.
Instead, he took off his windbreaker and covered her with it carefully.
Zhu Yiyi stared at him in a daze.
"It's easy to catch a cold in the summer rain." He explained.
At that moment, the anxiety of work, the humiliation of security guards, and the grievances in her heart all reached their peak after He Shen's comfort. Zhu Yiyi, who has always been carefree, suddenly had red eyes.
It was the first time she cried in front of outsiders, and in front of her boss who she had only met a few times, and she had no image.
Like a child who had suffered a huge injustice.
He Shen waited quietly until she calmed down, and said lightly: "Go to my house and wait for the rain to stop."
That was the first time Zhu Yiyi entered his private territory.
The apartment was clean, tidy, and without any fireworks.
Just like him, purer than moonlight, out of reach.
What surprised her most was He Shen's study.
There were two-story bookshelves, each of which was filled with collectibles, and a wooden spiral staircase covered with cashmere carpet, leading straight up.
At that time, Zhu Yiyi's mouth opened wider than a duck egg. In her mediocre vision and ordinary life, everything in the apartment was like a fairy tale.
She could not have imagined that she would often lie in that wooden spiral staircase after falling in love with He Shen.
Doing intimate things with him.
"Miss Zhu, I haven't been here for a long time. Welcome, welcome!"
Since they fell in love, Zhu Yiyi often went in and out of the community, and the security guards had already changed their attitude of respect.
Zhu Yiyi wanted to say that she probably wouldn't come again in the future--
But she didn't say it.
She nodded and walked into the community.
She reached the 29th floor.
There was one apartment per floor here, and it was very private.
Zhu Yiyi walked out of the elevator, walked to the main door of the apartment, and pressed the doorbell a few times.
No one answered.
He Shen should not have come back yet.
She found a place to stand and wait and was bored, so she half-squatted on the ground and played Candy Crush.
When she got tired of squatting, she just sat on the ground.
Anyway, they broke up now, so she didn't need to care about her image.
This is what He Shen saw when he came out of the elevator.
The little girl who had been waiting for an unknown period of time squatted on the ground, her head against the wall, and fell asleep with her eyes closed.
The Candy Crush in her hand was still stuck at the last step.
He frowned, and walked over faster, and his leather shoes made a crisp sound on the floor.
Like a wake-up call.
Zhu Yiyi was nauseous and sleepy after she got pregnant. But she didn't fall asleep. She woke up after hearing a few calls and rubbed her eyes: "Mr. He, are you back?"
"The ground is cold, get up."
After saying that, he pulled her up without waiting for her to refuse.
Zhu Yiyi quickly pulled back her hand, "It's okay, I just sat for a few minutes."
He Shen looked at his empty palm, and after a few seconds, he returned to normal, "Why don't you just go in? The password hasn't been changed."
"No change..."
In fact, she knew.
But when they were in love, Zhu Yiyi saw a lot of priceless things in the apartment with her own eyes.
A piece of black coral ornaments, worth millions.
A landscape painting, authentic, priceless!
Even the carpet at the door of his house was imported from abroad and worth hundreds of thousands.
It really is "gold everywhere."
Zhu Yiyi: "It's not good to enter someone else's house casually."
He Shen pursed his lips turned around and opened the door silently.
-
The apartment has changed a lot compared to a month ago.
Zhu Yiyi was confused. Not only were all the large ornaments gone, but the whole room was covered with plush carpets, which would not hurt even if they were bumped. The color was as white as feathers and as clean as pearls after snow. She stepped on it and it was a waste of natural resources.
She stayed where she was and did not dare to go in.
He Shen changed his shoes at the entrance, walked in, went to the bar to pour a glass of warm water, and when he turned around, he found Zhu Yiyi still standing at the entrance.
"Why don't you come in?"
"... Just come in like this?" She moved her muddy little white shoes.
"Your slippers are still there."
Zhu Yiyi was stunned.
He Shen's eyes moved to the living room, "I didn't have time to throw it away."
"Oh, it's okay, I'll go downstairs and help Mr. He take it down later."
"..."
Zhu Yiyi put her bag in the entrance hall, changed her shoes and came in, "Is it convenient to go to the study?"
This time she really wasn't being pretentious.
There are confidential company documents in the computer in the study.
He Shen didn't say anything, turned his back and added some hot water to the cup, "Drink some water."
Zhu Yiyi moved her dry lips a few times, "Thank you."
After drinking a cup of warm water, her whole body felt much more comfortable.
The temperature in the apartment was just right.
Zhu Yiyi was more prone to heaviness than usual after pregnancy. She often wanted to take off her clothes when she worked hard in the company, but she was afraid of catching a cold, so she could only wear them.
She felt particularly comfortable when she came to He Shen's place.
She didn't notice that the temperature in the apartment was one degree lower than before.
The two went upstairs.
Zhu Yiyi was in front and He Shen was behind.
The study is on the second floor, next to the master bedroom and the second bedroom.
The second bedroom belongs to Zhu Yiyi.
In the past, when Zhu Yiyi was on a business trip, the traffic in her old neighborhood was very inconvenient. In order to avoid getting up early and getting stuck in traffic, she would stay at He Shen's place the night before. However, she slept in the second bedroom in the first half of the night, and in the second half of the night, He Shen would carry her to the master bedroom after finishing work and taking a shower.
At that time, she was always sleepy, "Are you done?"
He patted her back and coaxed her gently: "Well, no tonight, go back to sleep."
Zhu Yiyi blushed and rolled into his arms, whispering that he was shameless.
His chest shook slightly with laughter.
A question suddenly came from above his head.
"What's wrong?"
Zhu Yiyi immediately came back to her senses, and instantly felt embarrassed. She looked around guiltily, "No, no."
Pushing open the door of the study, the inside was also carpeted like the living room.
It is estimated that He Shen was afraid of the cold in winter and made preparations in advance.
Zhu Yiyi looked in several desks, but there was nothing, so she looked in several layers of drawers.
When she opened it, there was a full box of condoms.
The top one was opened, and Zhu Yiyi even remembered how many were used in it.
Because she opened it herself.
She also put it on him personally.
"Nothing?"
He Shen walked in from outside the door.
Zhu Yiyi's hand trembled, and she accidentally pulled over the drawer, and all the things inside fell to the ground.
The opened box of condoms rolled to He Shen's feet.
It was against his leather shoes.
He Shen picked it up with one hand, pushed down his gold-rimmed glasses on his high nose bridge, and asked knowingly: "What is this?"
Zhu Yiyi's face suddenly flushed.
