C60 Comeback
Arriving at Eustace, I habitually assumed that after finishing the work at hand I would go to the hospital to visit Oji. As soon as I took my seat, I hastily went through and organized the documents that needed Ojairi's attention and signature. Although we were in the same office together, I didn't consult Ojairi as I did before when I was perplexed by my work.
"Director Ou, this is the document that you need to sign today. There are some things that I don't dare to finalize that have been marked out. Please review them and sign your name." I handed it over to O'Jia Rui's desk in a businesslike manner.
Ou Jia Rui was a little confused: "Why didn't you ask me directly? I was always convenient."
I lowered my head and looked at the materials in my hands. I didn't know how to answer Ou Jia Rui's question, so I couldn't say that it was because I felt that I had become distant from you, so I didn't want to ask anymore.
A few seconds later, I said, "I wanted to pack everything up so that I could give it to you faster. I was afraid that I would have to leave before I could give it to you." It was a perfectly reasonable reason, but it wasn't the only reason I did it.
"Oh, if you have a job in the future, you can do it slowly like you did before. Jingjing has already left the hospital and returned home to recuperate. I won't be seeing her when I go to work in the future." Until the time that Ou Jingyi was discharged from the hospital, I still didn't know what had happened to her. It wasn't that I didn't have any curiosity, but it was just that it was difficult for me to find a suitable position and identity to 'care' for her.
"Alright, I understand."
Ojairi's attitude made me think that the matter of Ou Jingyi had come to an end.
Of course, it was also because of this that we lived a peaceful life for two days. It was just that I had underestimated the ability of Ou Jingyi to pester people and the degree of her infatuation with Ou Jia Rui.
It was another noon where I didn't have any urgent matters to deal with during the overtime work. As if to make up for leaving me to look for Ou Jingyi at the celebration wine gathering, Ou Jia Rui would take me to a different high class restaurant for lunch every day for a few days.
Actually, rather than saying that I wanted to make it up, Ou Jia Rui didn't owe me anything. Originally, there wasn't any so-called relationship of responsibility and obligation between us, so we should just say that Ou Jia Rui did it this way, but that she was trying her best to prove to me that accepting his proposal was the most correct decision for me by treating me better and better.
At that time, I was hurt by the world too many times. When I met someone else, I subconsciously thought that they must have had a very complicated purpose, but I had always neglected that there was actually something very simple about those actions. It's because of love.
It wasn't time to get off work yet, so O'Jia Rui started asking me where I wanted to eat today.
"We've been eating in the dining room for several days. I want to go home and have a simple, nutritious lunch today." I answered honestly.
Perhaps most girls would not reject the idea that a handsome, rich man would invite them to some high-end restaurant to eat some delicious food and drink some expensive red wine every day. However, I am already a expectant mother, so the basis of my decision is that this is good for the baby in my belly.
As soon as we entered the Ou family's home, I accidentally saw that pink custom-made sports car of Ou Jingyi's. I subconsciously rolled my eyes, regretting my decision to come back for dinner today.
Ou Jia Rui keenly noticed that I wasn't willing to meet up with Ou Jingyi, "How about we go out to eat? After we finish eating we'll go back to the company. I'll take care of the rest."
When I thought about it again, I had long ago broken off my employment relationship with Ou Jingyi. Even if she came to me to denounce me because of Ou Jia Rui, it was something that I would not be able to avoid sooner or later.
"No need, the three of us can just eat together. I don't mind." I looked calmly at the windshield, and the words came out of my mouth in a light tone.
She stopped the car and opened the passenger door for me. The two of us walked into the living room side by side.
If it wasn't for the car outside reminding me that it was Ou Jingyi, I wouldn't have recognized her. The current Ou Jingyi didn't have any makeup on, she sat on the sofa with her face towards the sky.
I don't know what else happened to Ou Jingyi, but my instincts told me that her illness must have been complicated.
"Jingjing, you're here." "Why did you come here?" Ou Jia Rui's tone was calm and natural. It was as though she was a completely different person compared to the "why did you come here" Ou Jia Rui who was protecting me behind her.
Ou Jingyi looked at me with a hint of jealousy in her eyes. Perhaps she realized that the reason she came here today wasn't to provoke me, but rather shifted her attention from me to Ou Jia Rui.
"Hello, Director Ou." It was only when Lin Qian spoke that I noticed him sitting on the sofa in the corner. Our eyes met briefly, then both of us shifted away awkwardly.
I noticed that Lin Qian's eyes stopped at my stomach.
She didn't even care if Lin Qian and I were still there, as she grabbed onto the crook of Ou Jia Rui's arm. She didn't know if it was because she was taking care of my feelings or because of Lin Qian's face, but she didn't think too much of it. Ou Jia Rui pushed her hand and took out her arm.
A trace of a mocking smile appeared on the corner of my mouth. I didn't expect that even the usually manly Lin Qian would be so sullen at this moment.
Ou Jingyi smiled awkwardly, "It's been a while since I've last eaten at home, I miss the taste of the kitchen."
"Then let's eat together. I instructed the servants to add a few more dishes. Lin Qian should also eat together." Although he knew what Lin Qian did, Ou Jia Rui still gave him basic etiquette and respect.
The atmosphere at the dinner table was very subtle. Lin Qian and I were once lovers, Lin Qian and Ou Jingyi were currently married, and Ou Jingyi was the adopted daughter of Ou Jia Rui, yet she truly adored him from the bottom of her heart.
Ou Jingyi seemed to remember something, "That's right, Jia Rui."
"Hmm?" There was no food in Ou Jia Rui's mouth, he just used his nose to emit a little noise as a response.
I noticed with my sharp eyes that Lin Qianyi pulled on Ou Jingyi's arm, but was slightly shaken off by her look of disgust, "My body has already recovered to the point where it's more or less healed. I was thinking that ever since I graduated, I have always been an internship in Europe, these few years I have often talked about clients with you, so I'm fairly familiar with the Ou Family's business …"
Before Ou Jingyi could finish, I already understood her intentions. After a few days of silence, it started again. I couldn't help but think to myself selfishly.
Ou Jia Rui put down her chopsticks and gestured for her to continue.
"I don't have anything else to do besides eating and sleeping at home. Living like this for a long time is pretty boring. I want to go to work at Ou Family in two days' time." Ou Jia Rui thoughtfully nodded and didn't immediately say anything. Instead, she looked at Lin Qian with an inquiring gaze:
"What do you think about the matter of Jingjing wanting to go to work?"
My parents and I both think it's a good thing that Jingjing wants to go to work, but she hasn't fully recovered yet, so we might as well check it out later. Furthermore, Jingjing and I have accumulated quite a bit of capital in the past few years, so I think we should wait for Jingjing to fully recover and then prepare to start a small company.
Ou Jingyi fiercely glared at Lin Qian, the disdain and contempt in her eyes almost overflowing.
I'm too clear on Lin Qian's thoughts. It's easy to take advantage of the shade under the tree, but it's not easy to be a boss on his own on his own on his birthday. As long as he brought Ou Jingyi along, it would be equivalent to climbing into the entire Euclidean society.
His wishful thinking was very good, and doing this would at least make him struggle less than ten years. Once a person's mask was torn apart by you, you would soon be able to see all of their ugly face.
"Don't worry about me. I don't want to start a company with you. I know very well what you and your parents are up to. Facing Ou Jingyi's reprimand, Lin Qian did not dare to have the slightest trace of dissatisfaction.
"Then, if Jingjing wants to work at the Ou Family for a period of time to gain some experience, I think there's no problem." Lin Qian finally submitted.
Ou Jingyi looked at Ou Jia Rui in anticipation. I was actually looking forward to Ou Jia Rui's rejection, but thinking about it, Ou Jia Yi's surname was Ou. She came to work at Ou family, and it was even more reasonable than me.
Sure enough, Ou Jia Rui muttered to herself for a while and then said, "I can arrange a position for you in the Ou Family, but you still have to respect the opinions of Uncle Lin and Auntie Lin. You can rest for a while and come back to work in the Ou Family when your body is fully recovered."
"Alright." Ou Jingyi smiled brightly.
I felt a headache coming on. I had a feeling that as long as Ou Jingyi came to the Ou Family, she would definitely not let me off easy.
Three days after they met at the Ou Family, she had already arrived at the top floor of the Ou Family Group's CEO's office dressed up. Perhaps it was because she was well nourished, or perhaps it was because of her thick makeup, but Ou Jingyi had changed back into that radiant and haggard appearance.
"Good morning, CEO Ou." As soon as we opened the office door, O'Jia Rui and I happened to see Ou Jingyi sitting in my seat, greeting her with a smile.
Since I was too lazy to argue, I didn't get angry when I saw that my position had been taken. I didn't want to be the first secretary leaving the office, so I could probably learn more freely from the excellent employees of the Ou Family. I walked to the sofa on the other side of the CEO's office and sat down like nothing had happened, waiting for Ozara's arrangements.
Ou Jia Rui also sat in front of her desk. "Are you sure you've recovered?"
"No problem, be on standby as secretary to the CEO at any time."
