C38 Become a Public Figure
Because it was late at night, the feeling of my heart beating like a drum was particularly clear and intense. If Eugene had left the light on, he would have seen through my quivering eyelashes and my red earlobes, which were so red that they almost dripped blood, that I was not asleep.
I had always thought that after experiencing a scum like Lin Qian, I would no longer have the chance to pick up the feelings of love again. However, the romantic feelings and careful care of Ou Jia Rui had turned me back into a little girl.
Soon, I fell asleep with Eugene.
When he woke up in the morning, the other half of the bed was empty, but there seemed to be some residual heat on it.
I sat up in bed and looked at my phone. From six o'clock until the last three or four hours, Ou Jingyi had called me dozens of times. The last one was still five minutes ago.
Fortunately, I always had the habit of muting my cell phone when I slept, so I wasn't woken up by the multiple Call rings. I twitched my mouth and sat up on the bed. I thought that Ou Jingyi knew that I was married to Ou Jiarui so she called me to argue with me. Thinking this way, I might as well switch the switch on.
On the way down the stairs, the servant saw me quickly putting my breakfast on the table, and I felt that if I didn't go out to work I would be a cripple with my hands on my clothes and my mouth open.
After dinner, I exercised in the garden for a while as usual. I was too bored to turn on my cell phone, so I went back to my room and took out my computer. I sat on the sofa in the living room and read the news.
I didn't know, but I was startled. I seemed to understand why Ou Jingyi was so crazy to call me, and why she was so impatient the day after we returned home.
Originally, I wanted to contact the boss by computer to explain why I didn't work after this project was completed and to discuss my working hours. However, he was shocked by the information that appeared frequently.
Many of them had worked together for three years, and apart from the fact that they had never said more than three sentences about their business, some of them even disliked me, but now they all came to congratulate me in a very intimate tone, as if I were an old friend they had known for many years.
Even the CEO of the company sent a cordial greeting, "Xin Yao, you and Boss Ou are obviously so close, but why are you still doing this to me? Why are you still doing business with me? If you have a business, why don't you solve it in private?" "Thank you for your hard work. You can come to work anytime after you've rested."
I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. It seemed that Eugene had already told the boss that I had successfully arranged the wedding of Ou Jingyi and Lin Qian. The boss probably treated me, whom he had repeatedly rejected at that time, as a troublesome young couple, together with the person who wanted me to take over this case. This saved me the time to explain and made me happy.
After replying to the blessings of my boss and colleagues one by one, I was driven by curiosity to open the news interface, ready to see how angry I and Ou Jiarui were right now.
There were pictures of the cruise ship on the wedding day, photos of us leaving the church together, and even videos of me being picked up by Ojwin. There were even ten minutes of short statements he made to the media at the airport.
Looking back at the picture, I recalled the scenes on the cruise ship. My heart was suddenly filled with a feeling of "happiness".
In one of the hustle and bustle of the scene, I found the picture taken by the reporter who looked like a novice when I returned to A City that day. Perhaps it was because his angle and light were just right, but the scene of him capturing Eugenia tying my silk scarf around my neck was somehow beautiful.
Because of the focus, the crowd around us was obscured, becoming a mass of glowing lights, and only the two of us looked at each other, barely visible.
I couldn't help but right-click and save the picture, setting it up as a computer desktop. I sat on the sofa by myself and giggled for a long time.
The comments on the internet were even more praiseworthy and envious:
"Did I say that? Does a man like Eugene need a lover? Don't you think he's taking responsibility? "
"There's also that heartless little website saying that he's just a gossip. Did they hit him in the face?"
"Wow, I'm so envious, such an excellent man, and he's so considerate in defending his wife, my heart is about to break, this girl must have saved the Milky Way, right?"
"Didn't you notice that Madame Ou is also as pure and pure as a fairy? Perhaps this is the legendary beauty of a man and a woman?
Looking at this, I couldn't help but laugh out loud. I knew that my outer appearance wasn't bad, but to say that I looked like a fairy was too exaggerated. This group of people probably had fans' filters that were more than 10 meters thick.
I browsed the web page for a while, but I still felt that life without a job was really empty and lonely.
Just as I was thinking this way, the butler ran over with a mobile phone. "Madam, it's CEO Ou. He said he wants to speak with you about something?"
I took the phone. "Hello, is there something you need from me?"
Instead of answering my question directly, he asked me another one: "Why did the phone shut down?"
I felt that there was no point in hiding so many things from Ou Jiarui anymore, so I told him the truth, "Hey, it's not that big of a deal. Even if Miss Ou keeps calling me, we don't have anything to talk about, so I might as well shut down my phone and avoid her."
"You're right, ha-ha ha, we'll add her phone number to the blacklist when we get back. Is there anything else you need for noon? "
"No, I'm sitting on the sofa, bored to death. I was planning to be ready to go to work in a few days. "
"Then I'll get the driver to come and pick you up at home. Let's have lunch together, we've eaten Western food and fast food overseas for so many days, how about we go to a delicious Chinese restaurant? Do you want a spicy hot spicy perm? " I knew the last thing he said was to make fun of me about the past.
"Sure, we can eat hotpot."
"Hot pot, I know a place."
"Alright then."
"Give me a call when you get to the entrance of the company. Wait for me at the entrance, I have something to do."
"Oh, okay."
The driver soon arrived at the entrance of the Ou family house. Once again, I lamented that the Ou family's work efficiency was really high. Luckily, I had already finished my cleaning and grooming. I took a bag and my phone and went out.
As we drove up to the front door of the house, although I didn't know why, I did as I was told.
"Tell the driver to drive the car to the underground parking lot first. Wait for me at the gate. I'll be there in two minutes."
After hanging up, I got out of the car. I immediately attracted the attention of the guards at the gate and many young employees. I felt a little uncomfortable, but when I thought I had done nothing wrong, I cheered myself up and gradually straightened my back.
He was a punctual man, too, and in less than two minutes he was in my line of sight. He rarely saw his employees. They all took this opportunity to please him and continuously said "Good afternoon to the CEO". Ou Jia Rui only nodded slightly in greeting.
He walked until he was in front of me before he took my shoulder and said, "Let's go. I still have some work to do. Accompany me to the office upstairs and wait for me." As he said this, he deliberately slowed down his pace.
At this moment, it was noon time for Ou Family to get off work. Many employees walked out of the door and saw the scene of me being hugged intimately by Ou Jia Rui as I entered the CEO's elevator. At this moment, all of the greetings turned into "Hi CEO Ou, hello Madam".
"Why don't you let me take the elevator from the underground parking lot?" I whispered.
"I want my men to get to know the Lady Boss." I suddenly understood that the series of actions that had taken place in the past few days had been no different from the world's vindication of my status as Mrs. Ou.
My heart was moved, but I didn't show it. I just said, "You really value formalism."
"This is what I call a ritual." As we talked, we walked into the CEO elevator.
When we reached the top floor, Ou Jia Rui didn't tease me anymore. He sat back down at his desk and started to process his documents. I was playing mobile games on the sofa with my phone. Since there wasn't anything important to do, I quietly waited for Ou Jia Rui.
It wasn't until 2pm that Ou Jia Rui finally raised his head from the complicated documents and documents. He looked at his watch and said, "It's so late. Are you hungry? I forgot the time the moment I started working."
"Not bad, I had breakfast rather late. What are we going to eat?"
"Didn't you want to eat hotpot?"
I was a little taken aback. "You really want to eat hotpot? That's fine too."
When Ou Jia Rui took me directly to the underground parking lot, I just realized that a lot of the cars in the parking lot were all his. "Hey, Yaoyao, did you get your driver's license? It's also convenient for you to travel by yourself if you get a car."
I shook my head. Even if I had a driver's license, I wouldn't be able to afford such a big gift.
The boss was a friend of his when he was in school. This friend of his had always been interested in real estate, department stores, and other projects. He had always been completely focused on food and drinks. Who would have thought that with just this interest, he would be able to make a name for himself? There was this brand of hotpot chain stores all over the country.
There was no need to say anything as soon as we entered the door. We were placed in an exquisite private room. The room was so quiet that it was hard for me to imagine it was a hot pot restaurant's room.
"This place is not open to the public. We only come here when our friends get together occasionally. I think it's quieter here."
After a hearty meal, O'Garry sent me home.
