Chapter 268: The Nobleman and the Poor Girl
It’s not like Lu Yiheng hasn’t dated girlfriends who were 17 or 18 years old. In fact, in that circle of people who like to associate with the rich and powerful, girls who are 17 or 18 years old also have a lot of fun.
Although Chen Xiaolin is excellent, he feels that with his status, she will follow him if he just makes a gesture.
So, one time Chen Xiaolin stayed overnight at their house, in the middle of the night, she went to the kitchen to help Lu Andi get some fruit, and he followed her in.
Chen Xiaolin called him "Brother Yiheng" as usual.
Seeing that he nodded to her lukewarmly, she took her things and walked out.
Lu Yiheng called her: "Chen Xiaolin."
Chen Xiaolin, who was holding a fruit plate, turned around and smiled at him, "Brother Heng, do you want to eat some fruit too?"
Lu Yiheng looked at her beautiful and elegant appearance for a moment, and chose to ask directly: "Would you like to sleep in my room tonight?"
Chen Xiaolin frowned slightly, and at that moment Lu Yiheng regretted his frivolous words.
But he still believed that Chen Xiaolin should be "easy" for him. Chen Xiaolin suddenly smiled and said, "Brother Heng, if you want to eat some fruit, I can cut another portion for you."
He was a little regretful at first, but she didn't reject him directly but pretended not to hear him, which made him unwillingly and arrogantly ask her again: "Do you want to date me?"
Seeing that he had no intention of giving up, Chen Xiaolin looked at him seriously and said, "Before I agree, why don't you go ask the first wife first, Brother Yiheng? If you are embarrassed to ask, I can ask for you."
Lu Yiheng didn't believe that she really wanted to refuse, and didn't care whether she wanted to retreat in order to advance. He took her words and said, "If you dare to ask my mother, what answer she gives, how will we develop it?"
He never expected that after looking at him for a moment, Chen Xiaolin actually took out her cell phone and called his mother.
"Aunt, I'm Xiaolin. Yiheng wants to date me. Can I agree to it?"
Lu Yiheng was surprised at her boldness and directness. He saw her holding the tray in one hand and the phone in the other, listening quietly for about a minute. Finally, she smiled and said to the person on the phone, "Okay, auntie, I got it. Brother Yiheng is next to me now. Do you want to tell him in person?"
After she finished speaking, she took down her phone and took a look at it, then showed it to him, "Your mother hung up, but what she meant was that I am a toad wanting to eat swan meat."
After that, she put away her phone and said to him with a smile, "I'm sorry, Brother Yiheng, although I really want to agree to you, your mother doesn't agree, and I'm just an ordinary girl. I hope my boyfriend is a boy who can protect me from the wind and rain, so you should think about it carefully."
Of course Lu Yiheng didn't like Lu Xingchen, but Chen Xiaolin's behavior, which was similar to Lu Xingchen's, made him feel uneasy. He didn't want to take her seriously, but he couldn't let it go.
I don’t know if it was because of his own feelings or because of Chen Xiaolin’s rejection, but he couldn’t help but start pursuing her. For her, he not only broke up with his girlfriend, but also stopped messing around with other women. However, Chen Xiaolin always managed not to offend him and kept a distance from him.
A year later, she became an adult and was admitted to the Computer Science Department of Yuecheng University, starting her academic career in college. She then went abroad to study. After returning to China, she still rejected the olive branch he threw and went to Zhencheng Company.
When she came of age, he was 25 years old and his family arranged a blind date with a well-matched man. He got together with Luo Yayin, a highly educated supermodel at the time, and they soon got married because Luo Yayin became pregnant.
Now, seven or eight years have passed, and he and Luo Yayin have raised four children. Except for wanting to bring Chen Xiaolin into his company that year when Chen Xiaolin returned to China, he has not contacted her for personal reasons, because his identity was no longer suitable, and Chen Xiaolin's identity was still not suitable.
Today, Xie Jinhui suddenly asked him to find Chen Xiaolin...
Lu Yiheng couldn't tell what he felt in his heart, he just said to Xie Jinhui: "You know her background, I was just curious at the time."
"now what?"
"Now I have a wife and children!" Lu Yiheng suddenly wanted to curse.
Xie Jinhui didn't point it out to him, as if he hadn't hunted other women in the past few years since he had a wife and children, and said: "I'm not asking you to find her for anything, I just want to confirm with her whether Zhencheng is deliberately helping Lu Xingchen. You don't have to be so eager to deny your feelings for Chen Xiaolin."
Who rushed to deny it?
Lu Yiheng didn't want to explain any more, otherwise he would feel that he was trying to cover up something, so he just said, "I'll confirm with Chen Xiaolin, and you go and keep an eye on Lu Xingchen's movements."
That night.
Chen Xiaolin was still working overtime in the company when the phone on the table rang. The caller ID showed Lu Yiheng, who happened to be sitting next to her discussing technical issues with her. AI director Zhou Shuheng lowered his head and glanced at her phone.
Chen Xiaolin finished her sentence with Zhou Shuheng before picking up the phone, "Excuse me, Minister, I need to take a call."
She stood up, but didn't walk far. She picked up the phone at the office window: "Hello?"
The long-lost voice made Lu Yiheng's back numb slightly, and he said, "I am Lu Yiheng."
Chen Xiaolin's voice was filled with a polite smile, "I have your number saved, I'm just a little surprised that you called me out of the blue."
"I'm a little surprised that I would make this call. Are you free tonight?"
"I'm afraid not tonight. I'm still at the office."
"Overtime?"
Chen Xiaolin smiled, "Yes."
“Isn’t it because of the national recruitment project?”
Chen Xiaolin was stunned for a moment and replied, "Yes."
Lu Yiheng then said: "I just want to talk to you about this, is there a time that is convenient for you to meet?"
Chen Xiaolin had to smile again and said, "Brother Yiheng, you said it so directly that I feel embarrassed not to refuse you. I am the person in charge of Zhencheng's bidding project. As you know, I also know that Huiguang is one of the bidding companies. It is really inappropriate for you to ask me to meet you so blatantly."
Her words reminded Lu Yiheng of the time when he wanted to pursue her and she called his mother and then cleverly rejected him by saying, "Although I really want to agree to you, your mother doesn't agree."
Lu Yiheng couldn't help but smile, "Don't worry, I don't plan to ask you about the project."
Chen Xiaolin: "I know you are aboveboard, but it is inevitable that others will think too much. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, it is better to wait until after the bidding to meet again."
Chen Xiaolin's sense of propriety made Lu Yiheng sigh in his heart. After so many years, this person's style has not changed at all. "Then can I ask you something?"
"Tell me."
"Does Zhencheng's participation in the bidding this time have anything to do with Zhixing?"
Chen Xiaolin thought for a moment, "Are you trying to ask me if our President Li would let Zhencheng cover for Zhixing and help her bid because of Lu Xingchen's relationship?"
He is as sharp and smart as ever. Lu Yiheng smiled and didn't answer directly.
Chen Xiaolin did not ask any more questions, but told him frankly, "I can tell you this question, no, our company is also seriously participating in this project."
After finishing the call with Lu Yiheng, Chen Xiaolin returned to her computer and continued her discussion with Zhou Shuheng.
Zhou Shuheng was a little absent-minded. Seeing her concentrating on her work, he couldn't help but ask, "Excuse me, I just saw your caller ID. I remembered the word Heng in the other party's name. Who is this person..."
"Minister, you can just ask directly. This person is indeed Lu Yiheng from Huiguang Technology."
Zhou Shuheng looked at her, "Why did he call you?"
Chen Xiaolin: "He asked me if our Zhencheng's bidding this time was because Mr. Li wanted to create opportunities for Zhixing. I told him no, and he didn't ask anything else. Huiguang should still have basic professional qualities."
Zhou Shuheng: "Why would he ask about Jixing?"
Chen Xiaolin thought for a moment and said, "This... I didn't ask specifically."
Zhou Shuheng asked about the work and then asked, "Are you familiar with Lu Yiheng?"
Chen Xiaolin looked at him for a moment and smiled, "We were familiar with each other when we were young, but we haven't seen each other for many years..." Seeing that he wanted to ask more questions, she continued, "Minister, can you explain the calculation you just mentioned to me again?"
