Engage in Love - C155
From the moment Zhou Yuanzun wasn’t by his side, he had become even more silent. He had already felt unruly in the beginning, but now, he felt like he was frozen by the cold energy around him even when he was three feet away.
Han Keping took the document, and with a smile that she thought was perfect, she walked to the front of Zhou Yuanzun’s office, knocked the door, and walked over after Zhou Yuanzun answered.
“CEO, this is the tax report Director Zhou asked me to bring over for you.” Han Keping purposely said with a gentle voice.
Zhou Yuanzun gave a bland glance, and with just this casual glance, he could tell that many of the numbers on the report had been altered, and real taxes were never given to him.
“CEO, you can sign this report. In the afternoon, the tax department will come back to do some statistics and submit it in a few days.” Han Keping intentionally opened his mouth to explain, naturally to attract his attention.
Zhou Yuanzun frowned: “This report should be sent by my assistant to the Finance Department every Friday afternoon, what are you bringing it over for?”
Han Keping’s face stiffened, and quickly laughed: “I’m rather free today, so I finished the report a bit earlier, so I thought it would be convenient for the CEO to take it, so I brought it over.”
“In the future, don’t do such things as you wish to do.” Zhou Yuanzun reprimanded.
Han Keping walked out with an unsightly expression. After a few tries, Zhou Yuanzun did not reveal any intentions of transferring her back. Instead, he treated her coldly.
“Greetings brother, this afternoon is the new cutting ceremony for Xin Ming Yuan, you have to be successful.” Pan Jingchuan looked at Zhou Yuanzun worriedly.
Ever since the incident with Wei Zhenyin, Zhou Yuanzun had been working wholeheartedly, working day and night. However, towards the gathering and public events, he still pushed them away as usual, causing many famous girls who heard that Wei Zhenyin had committed suicide to feel that it was an opportunity to curry favor with him.
“Push it off.” Zhou Yuanzun said indifferently.
“But this secret has always been the responsibility of the Madam, who has always attached great importance to it, and said that she would definitely take you with her when she cut the ribbon.” Pan Jingchuan probed.
Zhou Yuanzun’s pen that was initially signed suddenly stopped, but it quickly started to write again without revealing any traces, as though it was careless. It opened its mouth and said: “Then, arrange for me to go over.”
Pan Jingchuan heaved a sigh of relief, when the time came, many of the leaders of the cities would also be participating in the Xin Ming Yuan incident, if the CEO did not go, then it would be hard to arrange a place for them, but luckily, there were some involved with the Mistress.
After working for a very long time, until his hands had gone slightly numb, Zhou Yuanzun finally stopped.
After returning to the Zhou’s, he asked Duan Ruinian about her safety, but didn’t ask her reaction after waking up. Duan Ruinian seemed to know that he didn’t want to face this kind of situation, and merely told him that Wei Zhenyin was safe.
As long as she was safe, wasn’t that enough? Zhou Yuanzun could not help but mocked himself. Did he really want to hope that she would forgive him?
During the ribbon cutting ceremony in the afternoon, Zhou Yuanzun’s appearance had undoubtedly brought the entire ceremony to a climax. As expected, the government was very concerned about the construction of the Xin Ming Yuan, and this time, even the deputy mayor himself had come.
But Zhou Yuanzun did not care about all this. Everything he did now felt to be meaningless, as if he was a walking corpse.
This feeling of nothingness made him want to laugh at himself, but he couldn’t.
After he mechanically finished cutting the decorations and hypocritically chatted with the city’s leaders, he and everyone else arrived at the five-star hotel where the celebratory feast was held.
His appearance had undoubtedly become the focus of the crowd, as a steady stream of people came to talk to him. Whether it was because they had the intention to probe further or to take the opportunity to build a relationship, the crowd all swarmed over to him like a swarm of bees.
He finally could not bear it any longer and found an excuse to walk to the roof.
Zhou Yuanzun had just blown for a while, yet he heard the whistling of the wind from the fists behind him.
He nimbly dodged the attack, but what he saw was Song Wu, who was wearing formal attire, glaring at him with a face full of hatred.
Zhou Yuanzun’s eyes slightly narrowed as he opened his dangerous mouth: “It’s you?”
Song Wu’s fist fell down once again. This time, Zhou Yuanzun was unable to dodge, and frowned while looking at him.
“What, do you think my fist is wrong?” Song Wu gritted his teeth: “Even if you die, I won’t let you off!”
Zhou Yuanzun looked at him with a complicated expression, but when Song Wu saw his expression, he waved his fist at him again. Zhou Yuanzun also started to counterattack, and started to fight with him.
The two of them fought for a while, neither of them were able to subdue the other, and the resentment in Song Wu’s eyes became even stronger.
Zhou Yuanzun also frowned, he naturally knew that Song Wu was doing this for Wei Zhenyin, and at the same time, he was secretly relieved, looks like the police did not manage to find any loopholes, which meant that Zhou Shunlin did not know about it.
However, even though he was also very disgusted with the person in front of him, he was, after all, Ah Yin’s master. Ah Yin had always respected him and his feelings for Ah Yin would definitely not betray him.
Right now, Ah Yin was in need of someone’s protection. Although he did not want to be implicated with the people from Police station, but there was no doubt that if the person in front of him received news of Ah Yin, then Ah Yin would be even safer.
“Do you think I’m the cause of all this?” Zhou Yuanzun said in a low voice.
“Isn’t it?” Song Wu spat lightly, “Do you still want to deny it now?”
As though he was shocked by the hatred, he gritted his teeth and said, “I really admire you. Since you don’t know what is going on, then, let me tell you, the reason why Zhou Shunlin acted like this, is all because the people from your Police station revealed Ah Yin’s identity.”
Song Wu’s pupils suddenly enlarged, and then he roared fiercely. “Impossible, you’re trying to find an excuse for yourself.”
“I can’t forgive her for what I did, but Ah Yin, she …” Zhou Yuanzun still wanted to say something, but his phone suddenly rang. He picked it up and after hearing a few words, he no longer cared about Song Wu and left in big strides.
Song Wu was also thinking about what he had just said and his expression became more and more serious.
Zhou Yuanzun walked to the door of the sanatorium and saw a familiar, elegant smile on his face. The person lying on the bed had finally woken up, and the knot in his heart that had been weighing on him for a long time had finally been lifted at this moment.
“Ah Zun.” Han Qingqing gently called out to him.
Zhou Yuanzun was slightly moved in his heart. Han Qingqing had fallen into a coma because of him, and now that she had awoken, it was naturally only a matter of heart for him.
Zhou Yuanzun walked to the side of the bed and suddenly pounced on him. Zhou Yuanzun’s body stiffened for a moment, but he still responded by embracing her.
At the door, Han Keping, who was watching this scene, was about to go crazy. Now that Wei Zhenyin had finally died, her sister had suddenly woken up, and was very unwilling to know about this news, but thought that it had been a long time since Zhou Yuanzun had seen her, perhaps her feelings for her sister had already faded.
However, the sight of them embracing each other seemed to have broken her imagination and filled her heart with jealousy.
Han Keping walked in and acted innocent.
When Han Qingqing heard the commotion, she could only reluctantly leave Zhou Yuanzun’s embrace.
“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to disturb you.” Han Keping said with an apologetic tone.
Han Qingqing said generously: “It’s fine, ever since I woke up you have been taking care of me, so how can big sister blame you?”
“The CEO really cares about big sister. That scene just now made me feel very happy.” Han Keping laughed and joked.
Han Qingqing smiled as she lowered her head in embarrassment. Her gaze landed on the wounds on Zhou Yuanzun’s face that she had not dealt with in time due to the fight.
“Ah Zun, what happened to the wound on your face?” Han Qingqing asked in concern.
Zhou Yuanzun shook his head indifferently: “It’s nothing, I bumped into it accidentally.”
“There’s disinfectant here. Let me help you deal with it.” As she spoke, she was about to get off the bed to get that thing, but Zhou Yuanzun quickly stopped her, “You just woke up, your body hasn’t gotten used to it, and you still need to rest. Don’t let yourself get tired.”
When Han Qingqing heard his concern, she sweetly said. “But I want to personally do something for you.”
“You’ve already done enough for me, so there’s no need for such small matters. When you wake up, I’m relieved. Rest well, I’ll come see you again tomorrow.”
With that, Zhou Yuanzun walked out of the room while Han Qingqing was still in a daze.
“Elder sister?” When Han Keping saw Han Qingqing’s expression change from astonishment to disappointment, she felt a little proud in her heart.
But as expected, Zhou Yuanzun treated her elder sister differently. Just now, that kind of gentleness was something that he had never seen before a second woman besides her elder sister. Even Wei Zhenyin had not revealed such gentleness.
Right at this moment, Pan Jingchuan suddenly appeared in his room, and spoke to Han Qingqing respectfully: “Miss Han, the CEO thinks that since you are awake, it is not appropriate for you to stay here, so he let you stay in his villa. He personally looked after you, and asked me to come and ask for your opinion.”
Han Qingqing’s slightly disappointed expression immediately lit up: “Ah Zun wants to take care of me personally?”
“Yes, the CEO told me to send you back. He has some matters to take care of, so he left in such a hurry.” Pan Jingchuan explained.
Han Keping revealed a resentful expression, but it was quickly covered up by her, and consoled her with a smile: “Elder sister, since the CEO has such a kind heart, you should accept it. With the CEO’s care, you will definitely recover soon.”
Han Qingqing shyly laughed, then turned to Han Keping and asked: “Then what will you do?”
“The President doesn’t like others entering his villa, so the Korean Assistant can only go home by himself.” Pan Jingchuan said indifferently.
Han Keping’s face stiffened for a moment, and then, with a forced smile, she opened her mouth. “Big Sister, you don’t have to worry about me.
“Mm, then you should be careful when you go back.” Han Qingqing gently instructed.
