Chapter 3 Chapter 3 But they are brother and sister, everyone...

But they are brother and sister, everyone knows and acquiesces to the fact, kissing or even hugging is not enough to prove what they have, Qiao Yihua has hardly mentioned this person in front of him, and the most important thing is that her real background and personality are not the type he likes.

These are the thoughts of women in love, and they will convince themselves.

Zhou Yun took a day off specifically, got up early and went to the vegetable market to buy a lot of things, cooked a lot of dishes, and went to the company at noon.

The office is very large, not inferior to any international company, and is in the most prosperous place in Shanghai.

When the secretary saw her coming, he immediately called Ren Qiu on the internal line.

"The boss's wife is here to inspect."

Ren Qiu went out to greet her with a smile, and then took her to the reception room.

Zhou Yun said, "You will be an accomplice of your CEO Qiao."

Ren Qiu has been in the company for so many years, and he is very good at dealing with everything. He will not take this one at all. He calls her "Boss Lady" all the time: "Boss Lady, you know that the company has been preparing to go public recently. CEO Qiao is really busy. Many employees in the company have not had a break for a month or two. He is still in a meeting. He is the helmsman, busy with all kinds of things, more busy than the ancient emperors. Every day, he has to meet all kinds of people in the company. You understand him best. You know that he has never had a good meal. The company's employee meals are always cold. It seems that he can have a good meal at noon today."

Ren Qiu spoke like a spring breeze, which made people feel very comfortable. He explained it very well, and she was very satisfied.

Zhou Yun endured it and did not ask about what happened that morning.

It was definitely hard, but it was impossible for Qiao Yihua to live the same life as the Red Army's 20,000-mile Long March. He was definitely not a person who treated himself badly.

It's just that Ren Qiu may not know a lot of things. She may be telling the truth. He is less and less willing to make private matters public.

Seeing her face soften, Ren Qiu continued, "I can smell the aroma of the dishes made by the boss lady. I think they are still hot. Why don't you go knock on the door to see if the meeting is over?"

Zhou Yun knew that when he was working, no one could disturb him, whether at home or at the company, or even on the way to answer the phone.

Of course, after working hours, everything was free, and he was even unlimitedly tolerant of her doing anything she wanted to do or buying anything, and he didn't care at all.

Zhou Yun finally waited until after one o'clock when he finished the meeting and the office staff pushed open the door and left before knocking on

the door and going in. Qiao Yihua looked up and saw her, and then called her to sit down first.

Zhou Yun originally planned to maintain the relationship, but seeing that he was very tired, she immediately gave up the idea of ​​probing and asking. They were both very smart, and they could hear even if they were hinting at him, and some things would cause cracks once they were said.

In these short tens of seconds, she recalled how they met again last year. They were both in Hong Kong, and the scene was very similar to when Maggie Cheung and Leon Lai met in New York in the movie Sweet Honey. Zhou Yun was very excited and immediately rekindled her previous admiration.

This time, Qiao Yihua did not play it safe like he did a few years ago. The two walked on the streets of Hong Kong and talked for almost an hour. From childhood to school, to university, and finally to entrepreneurship, they have achieved some success in the past ten years.

Zhou Yun lives a simple life. Fortunately, her parents did not go to the countryside, so she has always had a relatively good living condition. She is also generous and cheerful. When she was in the fourth or fifth grade of elementary school, her father was transferred to Shanghai, and she followed him. She went to middle school, university and went abroad normally. Everything seemed perfect and pure.

Because the time of returning home was different, Zhou Yun left her home phone number to him and asked him to call at any time in the evening.

Qiao Yihua was very straightforward. She did not leave her home and company landline numbers, but left a pager number so that they could contact each other at any time.

At that time, he was on a business trip in Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Hong Kong and Southeast Asia for a long time. They confirmed their relationship on the phone. Zhou Yun would fly over to accompany him to celebrate the National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival without hesitation until he was finally busy before the Spring Festival.

The two returned to Shanghai together and met Zhou Yun's parents.

Everyone was very satisfied and set the wedding date on May Day.

Thinking back, it has not been a year yet, immersed in the myth of love, such memories have diluted many deceptions, lies and others.

Qiao Yihua hung up the phone, got up and walked over, sat down, he did not open the lunch box, and said: "You don't need to be busy with these."

Zhou Yun said: "I know you are very busy, there is nothing I can do to help, you can open it and eat something."

The lunch box is well insulated, and it is still steaming when it is opened.

"You can't take care of yourself, Lao Zhang also said that you didn't even have a hot meal."

He was never picky about food, he could eat anything, picked up the chopsticks and started eating.

The couple simply exchanged some trivial matters, and they acted very naturally without any guilt at all, Zhou Yun was almost 90% relieved.

In fact, when you love someone, it is easy to get carried away. Libras are biased, so how can they doubt it?

To a large extent, it is caused by the other party's temptation, and even if the kiss was deep and heavy, it does not mean that there is really any emotion or inappropriateness.

I value his feelings, my father values ​​his character, he has a good temper and rarely quarrels with her. They both have status and money to support each other, so why should we create some conflicts?

This is the way to get along with each other that she has realized.

Qiao Yihua didn't know, or never guessed, what his wife in front of him was thinking about these days, how to comfort herself, and how people with emotional cleanliness could get through this tormenting time. Until now, when he was eating, he felt relieved and prepared to start over.

And the things that women value most, for men, have never passed through their hearts at all.

Later, when they quarreled, Zhou Yun cried and asked him: "Why did you marry me in the first place?"

He said indifferently: "I was old enough, and you just came, so I got married."

Qiao Yihua was right. He had received a very good education and was still a very traditional person. When his father left, his biggest regret was that he was not married or a bachelor, and he wanted him to get married and have children.

When wealth accumulates more and more, children and family are more important, especially mothers are not important, children are important.

Zhou Yun didn't know. She wasn't a girl in her early twenties who had just graduated from college. She fantasized about love at any time. The reason for maintaining this marriage was not that she became sensitive and paid attention to every woman around him, but that she didn't go home again and again. No matter how expensive the gifts she bought when she went home were, they couldn't make up for the pain in her heart.

Perhaps because he did too much, he began to go home frequently, and his attitude became similar to that when he was in love before, and sometimes he would tell a cold joke.

He would explain very seriously that I was in a hurricane, and I felt that if I took a step back, I would fall into an abyss, and if I took a step forward, I might be shattered to pieces.

This was the only truth Qiao Yihua told anyone in the past few months.

The company has developed too rapidly in recent years. Shanghai is indeed not the Shanghai of 70 years ago, but it is still changing. The imperfect laws, the desire to make money, and the sudden rise of Pudong have made the world's attention locked here.

What he did, others may still do.

In a very private club, the two people he trusted most were sitting next to him, Xia Qiang and Zhou Jiandong. Xia Qiang rarely showed up when they started collecting debts from Guangzhou seven or eight years ago. Except for Qiao Yihua, he almost didn't see anyone, as if he disappeared out of thin air.

Zhou Jiandong was the closest person to my father when he was alive. We could say that they were close friends in life and death. When they were sent to work in northern Shaanxi, they were carrying manure. It was drizzling and foggy, and they got lost. When they reached the Loess Plateau on the northwest slope, Zhou Chengdong fell into a cave. Qiao Qingguan saved him at all costs. Because there were branches all around, the branches scraped a 30-centimeter cut on his leg, and a large area was stained with blood.

After they came out, they went to the clinic for bandaging. Because the medical conditions were difficult, it was very simple to stop the bleeding. Later, when it was cloudy, rainy, and snowy, his legs would ache. When he died, his legs were already rotten beyond recognition.

Although he was a retired university professor in Beijing, he was the slowest to be rehabilitated at the time. Qiao Qingguan came to help him for several years.

The students' impression of him was that he was an elegant scholar and a professor who spoke eloquently. After experiencing so much suffering and life and death, how many people can let go? It's just hidden under the well-dressed body.

Qiao Yihua definitely didn't want to bother him with this matter. The company seemed to be thriving on the surface, and its performance had doubled over the past few years.

But anyone who knows a little bit can see the hidden crisis behind.

The opportunities found in the Southeast Asian crisis are not enough to support the company that is now growing bigger and bigger, and the internal personnel must be cleared out before the company goes public.

Qiao Yihua's mind is very clear, but he can't say it, let alone show it, and he has to be busy preparing for the listing as usual.

In the case that his means are not very clever, no one can easily use means to remove the power and shares of people he doesn't like.

As the company expands, his control ability has weakened a lot in the past two years. Qiao Yihua's promise to all senior executives is to jointly manage and operate. Removing the military power on the eve of the listing will only cause turmoil in the company, and if it goes wrong, it will be a complete loss.

When you are a small company with only a few dozen people, everything will be up to you, making decisions, and being a local emperor.

When the transformation is successful, the staff continues to expand, and it is even more difficult to control everyone. Moreover, as a boss, you obviously want to do something bad, but you still have to maintain your image and push the pot to those who are willing to take the blame.

Nowadays, there are many successful people in the business figures in newspapers, financial readers' own publications, and even TV stations. Stories can be fabricated, experiences can be reversed, backgrounds can be exaggerated, and everything can change. People are not clear about what is happening behind the media.

Originally, the company's assistant secretary arranged for him to appear on several programs.

After thinking about it, now is not the right time.

It's not that Qiao Yihua doesn't like to show up in public. If it's for fame and fortune, he is definitely willing to do so. It's just that selfishness is taking over now and he doesn't want to be caught.

Zhou Jiandong never considers whether Qiao Yihua's approach is right or wrong, he only gives advice.
