novelChen Wanxin's Scar: Hold the Wedding Ceremony, and Then Get the Certificate
| ← Ch.184 | Ch.186 → |
The YH Company.
Zhao Yuan was lying in the soft seat of the president. The ashtray on the table was filled with a lot of cigarette butts. Subordinates who were here to report their work stood in a row outside the door, but none of them dared to go in to disturb him. Zhao Yuan threw away the last cigarette butt and gave a little whistle."In any case, I have to meet this person!"
Without informing Xiaoman, he booked a plane ticket and flew directly to the county's airport.
As Zhao Yuan was about to get married soon, an idea struck him. So he returned to his former residence in Yangzi County and wandered around the place. Then, another inexplicable impulse seized him. Immediately, Zhao Yuan rented a car and drove to Tianfu Village.
All the houses of the old government compound were pulled down to make room for a new row of small western-style buildings. The construction materials for these buildings came from the branch established by the YH Company in the small county. At that time, Zhao Yuan offered a great discount but made only a request: they must not cut down the white poplar.
Zhao Yuan sat under the tree in silence for a long time. He thought that he must have been dazzled by looking because the figure got on from the car's back door seemed so familiar to him! But before he could react, the car pulled away. Zhao Yuan only managed to get the car's license plate number and asked his friends to help him to check it. Finally, he learned that the car owner was a very ordinary householder of the county. However, Zhao Yuan could no longer calm down.
At his urging, the acting deputy general manager of the BC Company finally agreed to meet him.
The person who sat opposite Zhao Yuan was a senior executive of the BC Company. Only judging by the appearance, he looked extremely like the person in the photo given by Xiaoman.
After exchanging a few words with the executive, Zhao Yuan felt that this person's performance was not in accordance with his tough attitude showed in the contract. When Zhao Yuan was going to continue sounding him out, Chen Wanxin pushed the door open and came in.
As usual, she greeted him."President Zhao, why did not you tell me that you got some spare time to visit our company?"
By the time the whole office quieted down, Zhao Yuan said with a smile, "I should separate official business from private things. After I finish dealing with this case, I will talk about our wedding with you."
"We should not show off before the wedding. You know, my father mentioned it before that our situation is quite different now." Chen Wanxin smiled. She took Zhao Yuan's hand and sat down beside him."Right, Yuan. Let's get the marriage certificate first."
...
During off-hours, the employees of BC Company gathered in the corridor. They did not know what had happened. Just now, thunderous arguing sounds broke forth out of the VIP reception room. Or, there was only one voice from the young deputy president Chen Wanxin. After a short time, those employees saw a handsome and well-built guy walking out from the reception room. The president secretary of the BC Company recognized that he was the president of the YH Company, which had always cooperated closely with her Company. He was not a deputy president, but the real president Zhao Yuan. The secretary secretly exclaimed."Could it be that President Chen also wanted to court Zhao Yuan but failed?" On second thought, the secretary remembered that she had said, "I can get anyone I take a fancy to." She could not help feeling quite regret. Then she thought to herself."I do not dare to chase the man the president loves." In secret, she was gradually relieved.
Chen Wanxin was left alone in the office, tears swirling in her eyes.
"Zhao Yuan just told me that we should hold the wedding ceremony, and then get the marriage certificate."
"Why did he want to do like that? Did he regret it? But Zhao Yuan has clearly promised to marry me. We have prepared the wedding rings and have also taken wedding photos. Once our wedding is over, I can share the wedding photos into WeChat Moments and also send them to Facebook, just like other girls will do. I clearly know all the things that I expect and has spent many sleepless day and night because of that. Now, the wedding is coming soon. But why would Zhao Yuan behave like this?"
Shu Xiaoman swore to God that she did not tell Zhao Yuan any news about Chen Yuanxi. At last, Chen Wanxin chose to believe her for the moment.
Then, Chen Wanxin thought of Zhang An'an again. At this moment, who could have enough IQ and EQ to share her worries? Only Zhang An'an, her university roommate, could. After Chen Yuanxi left, Chen Wanxin went to study at Jifu University. But she had been living alone outside the university. Even Zhou Nannan was on the alert against her, let alone Shu Xiaoman. Usually, these young girls were not to Chen Wanxin's liking. Only An'an could chat with her for a while. The two of them had been getting on for two years, plus Chen Wanxin's vigorously support to the career of Zhang An'an. So they actually got along pretty well with each other.
"Even if he suggests that you two will only hold the wedding but not get the marriage certificate, I suppose that you will also agree in the end. After all, you are the active and initiative part in this relationship. So Zhao Yuan has already got the upper hand, hasn't he?" Zhang An'an said, somewhat wearily. After taking part in a whole day's activities, she finally managed to get some rest.
"Now, the divorce rate of men and women is so high. To be honest, I think that A Yuan considered the matter more carefully. You see, A Yuan has no parents and is working hard for his career alone in G City. He does not know how the elders of your family will think about him. When you prepare for the wedding, all of you are going to deal with many chores. The opinions of those elders toward Zhao Yuan will only show at the time. In case something not good happens at that time, both you and he can freely get rid of this relationship. In this way, the relationship with Zhao Yuan will not bring you any burden if you are going to get married again. After all, in the present society, having been married before may have little effect on men when they are going to get married again. But it can have a great impact on women, not to mention that you are in such a high status, " Zhang An'an said with a smile.
"In any case, you and A Yuan are not like ordinary couples. There are too many entanglements between you. On the bright side, Zhao Yuan came up with such a suggestion because he wanted to be responsible for you. On the dark side, he is afraid that he will regret it. But if A Yuan doesn't want to get married, he can make it clear for you! Anyone may get a marriage phobia. I think that you two get a stronger reaction." Zhang An'an explained in detail.
Suddenly, Chen Wanxin felt much relieved.
"But what about you? You are almost twenty-six years old. But there is not any sex scandal about you. Don't tell me that you are still in love with Wang Xiang, who sells the groceries, " Chen Wanxin asked.
"Wang Xiang is selling high-end sensors. I do not know if he will try to make a good showing when he knows that you said he was selling the groceries, " Zhang An'an said while smiling gently.
"Do you anyone that you like in the small city? I can try my best to help you. But if the person is one of the stars or talented musicians, I am afraid that I am unable to help." Chen Wanxin slightly chuckled, once again.
"Me? The Hongluan Star has never moved for me. Who knows if I am a lesbian? If I like girls, I will be fond of the type of girls like you, who are not merely domineering but lovable and timid." Zhang An'an smiled.
"If you were a man, I might consider you to be my boyfriend."
...
Soon after they talked on the phone, Shu Xiaoman got a call.
"Zhao Yuan is getting married. Why hasn't anyone told such a big thing to us? As his secretary, you must have known this, " Zhang An'an asked, burning with a frenzy of rage.
"President Zhao has always told me that we should keep a low profile, keep a low profile. If he wants to send invitation letters, he must have his arrangements. I have no way to interfere with the plans he made, " Shu Xiaoman said.
"I ask you, is Wenxi back?" Zhang An'an asked.
"No."
"Shouldn't you say that you do not know? Why did you immediately say that he is not back? It seems to me that you either have a reliable contact to inform him, or you know it well that he is back. Am I right?" Obviously, the tone of Zhang An'an sounded a little exciting. Over these years, she had tried to get the news about Lin Wenxi through many people who had various relationships with her. Also, Zhang An'an had traveled between the United States and China for several times. However, she found no way to get any news of Lin Wenxi. At least, no matter how well Zhang An'an got along with Chen Wanxin, she never told a single word about Lin Wenxi to Zhang An'an. Chen Wanxin only said that Lin Wenxi went abroad in a hurry and hardly had any connection with her.
"An'an, you are toxic. I only know that he didn't come back." Shu Xiaoman almost laughed in her exasperation.
"Xiaoman, I should remind you that don't be a tool of others again!" Zhang An'an felt a little anxious.
"I understood. I can deal with it myself. An'an, do not worry. If you repeatedly say that again, I am going to tell Wang Xiang that your mother began to urge you to get married." Shu Xiaoman made fun of her.
Finally, Zhang An'an hung up the phone with worry.
"Why cannot I stop getting myself involved in these complicated things? Why cannot I just forget this person? Isn't it good to live a peaceful life?"
