âYou shouldnât be married, right? He looked to be less than 30 years old. Generally, such successful men would get married very late.â
âI heard that his thirtieth birthday is in a few months.â
âReally? He looked very young, at most twenty-six or twenty-seven years old, but he was so handsome and manly!â
Zuo Yue stood outside the office door for a while and left in silence.
*****
Two days later.
On Wednesday morning, the last important meeting between the two companies was held. The business management and general manager of Yigan Company were ready to welcome Xu Chengfeng. However, at the appointed time, a black Maybach stopped opposite Kng Corporation. Only Ainte and a few secretaries and assistants who usually followed them got out of the car.
As Zuo Yue worked in the business department, although she did not have to interfere too much, the business project this time had some connections with her department. Therefore, the department manager allowed them to follow the companyâs senior executives to witness the final moment of the business project.
Zuo Yue stood behind the crowd and saw Ainteâs expressionless face when he got out of the car. The general manager waited for a while and did not see Xu Chengfeng in person. Then, he went up to him and asked about the situation politely.
Ainte took off his sunglasses and said calmly,ââIâm sorry to have kept you waiting. Iâll be signing the project with your company today.â
The general manager was stunned for a moment. In his impression, Xu Chengfeng was not the kind of person who would joke about such an important matter. Although Aite was a very important person around Xu Chengfeng, it was too⦠She didnât take it seriouslyâ¦
â General Manager, please donât misunderstand.â Ainte ignored the confused looks of the people around him and whispered something into the general managerâs ear.
The general manager nodded understandingly.âMr. Ayt, please.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Ainte also nodded and walked straight into the company. Before he walked into the companyâs main entrance, the corner of his eyes seemed to sweep over Zuo Yueâs body, but it was just a faint glance, and he walked straight in.
Zuo Yue looked indifferently in the direction of Aite, as if it had nothing to do with her. She followed her colleagues from the business department into the door.
The work continued as scheduled. In the afternoon, Zuo Yue came out of the office. She thought that she and the other interns did not need to observe the business cooperation anymore. She was about to go to the backup data room near the conference room to get something.
As soon as he walked out of the elevator on the floor where the conference room was located, he almost bumped into Ainte, who had just walked past the elevator door.
There were a few assistants behind him. When they saw her, they seemed to be calm, but they stopped in their tracks.
âIâm sorry.â Zuo Yue simply thought that she had bumped into them. After nodding and apologizing, she turned around and headed straight for the information room.
Ayt looked at her back with a cold expression and a hint of dissatisfaction. He put one hand on his waist and suddenly turned around to say to the people behind him,âYou guys go first. Iâll be there later.â
âAlright, Mr. Ayt.â
Zuo Yue heard a voice behind her and instinctively had a premonition. She quickly walked into the data room and reached out to open the door. Suddenly, it was dark behind her. The door was pressed down by someone behind her and could not be opened.
She paused and looked up at the arm above her head, then turned to look at Ainte behind her.
Ainte looked at her indifferently.â
âAit.â Zuo Yue said softly,â Iâve already made things clear with your BOSS. Since Xu Chengfeng has not appeared again, weâve decided to have nothing to do with each other. Please donât interfere in our matters. Since youâre here to cooperate on a project, do your part and donât interfere in things that you shouldnât.ââ
Ayt looked at her and suddenly sneered.âAre you warning me not to meddle in other peopleâs business?â
Zuo Yue was silent for a moment.â I didnât mean it that way. However, Ainte, my matter has nothing to do with you. Besides, this is the company. I hope you canâ¦â
âI know this is a company. If this wasnât the company youâre interning at, do you think a company with a large international financial network like the KP Group would be interested in a small group like the King Group that is still struggling to break into the international group?âAinte seemed to be pointing at something as if it was useless. Zuo Yuetingâs hand slowly tightened.
âI donât intend to meddle in other peopleâs business. Youâre right, your business has nothing to do with me, but Bossâs business is a big deal. I can watch you being heartless, but I canât just watch Boss suffer and not lend a helping hand.â
Zuo Yue seemed to have exploded because of his words. She suddenly raised her hand and swung his arm away.âIâm heartless? Ait, are you being reasonable? Am I the heartless one? Am I the heartless one? The person who was abandoned like a worn-out shoe was me, Zuo Yue!
Iâm trying to avoid getting hurt again, so Iâm staying away from you. Besides, arenât you leaving the United States soon? Weâve already come this far. Isnât it better for us to still maintain a state of no contact with each other? What right do you have to stand in front of me and say that Iâm heartless! Was the person who stabbed him now blaming the injured person for splashing blood all over him?!â
Seeing her enraged look, Ayt sneered.âI thought you didnât feel anything at all. You can be so calm every day as if nothing had happened.â
Zuo Yue looked at him coldly.â Itâs your words that have gone too far. Otherwise, I believe that I can speak to you calmly.ââ
âBoss has been unconscious for an entire day. You can stay calm, but I canât.âEit laughed.
Zuo Yue turned around with a cold face, wanting to avoid him. However, just as she was about to turn the handle of the data room, she suddenly paused and turned to look at him.âWhat did you just say?â
Ainte had a good build, belonging to the slender type. He looked at the trace of doubt in Zuo Yueâs eyes calmly.ââ People often have no choice but to retreat to protect another personâs world because they have no choice at a certain time of the year. However, when they can start making their own choices, they are willing to come back and find the little girl he lost. However, this little girlâs heart is as hard as a rock now.â
âDonât talk so much nonsense. I asked you what you were talking about just now. What do you mean by unconscious for an entire day?â Zuo Yue turned around and looked at him seriously.ââAi Xing, Iâm not in the mood to joke with you!â
âThat serious? I thought you didnât take it seriously.ââ What?â Ainte was still laughing.â Based on your understanding of Boss, is he the type of person to be willful and not show up at such an important occasion?â He was sick. A few days ago, it was just a simple cold. Since yesterday, he had been running a high fever. He had been in a coma today and had not woken up yet.â
