Chapter 166 The Secret That Shall Not Be Revealed
After finishing several projects, Liang Weining stayed in the club until about five in the afternoon, and then accompanied her bestie to watch a recently released movie, an art film.
Arrive at your destination half an hour early.
The two besties each held a cup of milk tea and sat in the public lounge. Gu Yunzhen browsed the film introduction on her phone and was shocked: "The standards in the mainland are so relaxed now?"
Liang Weining shook his head and leaned closer to explain: "There is only one in the whole capital."
A very small but distinctive public welfare cinema.
Here, you can even see many classic unabridged out-of-prints.
Although she is not too fond of it, her bestie has no resistance to this type of thing. Since it is a rare occasion for them to get together, she would just accommodate him and have fun.
Before entering the screening room, Gu Yunzhen teased, "Actually, this movie is quite suitable for couples."
"It doesn't matter. If I end up joining the army of singles in the future, we can just make do with each other and cultivate our relationship in advance."
After saying that, he picked up his phone and checked the time. It was already late.
Suddenly thinking of something, Liang Weining opened WeChat and typed: [It’s time for dinner, are you still busy? ]
There is a business meeting in the afternoon, followed by a project meeting at headquarters. From what Xu Zhou said, it might last until very late.
If she couldn't get away, she could go back to Xiangyue Mansion to get her clothes.
Gu Yunzhen asked casually: "Who are you sending the message to?"
"Boy friend."
"."
When he found a seat and sat down, he saw the girl beside him lowering her eyes to reply to the message. Gu Yunzhen raised an eyebrow and said, "I have a feeling that you seem to care more about your boyfriend than before."
“Maybe it’s not an illusion.”
After clicking send, Liang Weining turned off his phone and leaned back in his chair, saying lazily, "We had a fight a month ago, and we almost broke up that time."
The understated tone tells the story of extremely heartbreaking twists and turns.
Reality is more exciting than movies.
Gu Yunzhen understood the whole cause and effect of the incident and felt mixed emotions. He wanted to say something but didn't know where to start.
A moment of silence.
She concluded: "You have tacitly made changes for each other and want to move forward. This is not easy for you who have put love aside, and for someone like Mr. Chen. Despite this, you are still trying hard, which is great."
At this moment, Gu Yunzhen spoke from the bottom of his heart.
Liang Weining leaned his head on her shoulder and whispered, "You want both love and career, aren't you greedy?"
how come.
"The beauty of the world is pursued by humans, don't be a fool." Gu Yunzhen picked up a popcorn and put it into Ning Xiaoguai's mouth. "The two are not contradictory. The difficult part is how to balance them."
balance.
Just as she finished the thought, someone in the department group @ her and asked for three days of leave. She asked the boss to see the application and approve it.
Open the company's attendance system and call up the application form.
Reason for leave: [I have to go to another city to watch my idol’s concert. The journey is long, and three days round trip is the limit. ]
He speaks frankly and is quite honest.
This is the advantage of hiring young people, but also the most ridiculous part.
Gu Yunzhen reminded him, "You are only 23 this year, only one year older than those newcomers."
"Would I take a day off just to attend a concert?" she asked.
My best friend shrugged: "Not all young girls are like you, who like the class atmosphere."
"."
After watching the movie, I took a walk along the Third Ring Road and returned to the hotel.
The driver of Xiangyue Mansion delivered her clothes and waited for a long time in the lobby reception area.
Liang Weining took it and said "thank you". The latter nodded to her and conveyed the master's instructions.
The general meaning is, let her have fun, go to bed early and don't stay up late.
This man.
He was obviously very unhappy because she didn't come home at night.
After going upstairs, while her bestie went to the bathroom to take a shower, Liang Weining sent a message to Special Assistant Xu, asking him if he had finished get off work.
To find out in a disguised way whether someone is free.
Xu Zhou understood what he meant and said, "Mr. has just finished a meeting and is in a bad mood."
【why? 】
[The design plan for the second phase of the ecological water area construction on Lianwu Island was released today, but it did not meet Mr.’s expectations. ]
It was indeed for official business. The project leader should be scolded for running into trouble.
Giving up the idea of starting the video, Liang Weining said "good night" to the boss via voice.
Later, she went into the bathroom to take a shower and successfully missed a call. In addition, she had set her phone to vibrate mode beforehand, so the call was also ignored by Gu Yunzhen.
After everything was tidied up, Liang Weining, wearing a facial mask, called back, but the phone was turned off.
Look at WeChat again.
From BB-C: [Temporary return to Hong Kong for two days. ]
No wonder.
We are in a hurry, so we probably have to take a passenger plane.
After going to bed, the two best friends chatted about everything under the sun, saying whatever came to their minds.
Gu Yunzhen asked Ning Xiaoguai how she felt after meeting her boyfriend today.
"Want to hear the truth?"
"of course."
In that case, I will say it all.
Liang Weining cleared his throat and gave three words: "Too perfect."
“Does it feel unreal?”
"Yes." She compared it to her bestie, "It's like a carefully written program. No matter how hackers attack, they can't find any loopholes."
"You have a good eye for people."
Ok?
Gu Yunzhen said: "To be honest, I have known him for three years, but I have never figured him out."
This is a huge challenge for her profession.
Duan Yucheng is the simplest and most complicated client she has ever come into contact with.
"Then how did you get together?" Liang Weining asked.
After a moment's silence, Gu Yunzhen began to tell the story.
The story is not long, but every incident is thrilling. Liang Weining summarized it in one sentence: "Three years ago, he risked his life to protect you. Three years later, you violated the industry rules for him and almost had two fingers chopped off by Mr. He Sanye. It's not an exaggeration to say that we have a life-and-death friendship."
Ok.
So when Duan Yucheng confessed his love, Gu Yunzhen agreed without hesitation.
It’s hard to say how much love there is.
I have to admit that I am moved.
Especially, after seeing him at his most miserable and destitute, I wanted to be the closest witness to see how he turned the tide step by step and found a way out of the dead end.
There is no doubt that Duan Yucheng did it.
Unfortunately, she knew nothing about the whole process, and he never revealed a single detail to her from beginning to end. It was like a secret that was forever buried underground and could never see the light of day.
Gu Yunzhen didn't say much about her boyfriend's detailed identity information, and Liang Weining didn't ask much either.
She had a feeling that they would meet again in the future.
Before they knew it, the topic lasted until late at night. Before going to bed, Liang Weining tried to hold back, but couldn't hold it back any longer and confessed her previous guess to her bestie.
Zhou Shixu?
Gu Yunzhen looked horrified: "What are you talking about?"
It does sound a lot like Liao Zhai.
Are you kidding? How could Zhenzhen like the one worn by Prince Zhou?
At this point, Liang Weining said awkwardly: "In order to speak up for you, I even taunted him several times."
What kind of time management master is this? I guess he will be pissed to death.
"Don't worry, he doesn't understand." Gu Yunzhen comforted him, "In his eyes, there are only power and interests, nothing else is of interest to him."
Including women.
She saw clearly that it was just a show.
However, Liang Weining still had a question: "So, the lighter was also an accident?"
Speaking of this, Gu Yunzhen was too weak to close his eyes.
The incident dates back to the third month after she entered the gambling city. That night, she got drunk and boldly insisted on gambling with a man.
The bet was that if she won, the contract would be void. If she lost, she would have to unconditionally extend the term from two years to four years.
The result was a disastrous failure.
The lighter was accidentally left in the gambling city that night and was picked up by the man. He refused to return it and said he wanted to keep it as a keepsake.
Only Zhou Shixu could argue with a drunkard.
