Chapter 12 I Don't Remember Your Face
Chapter 12 I Don't Remember Your Face
Jiang Ci did not accept the cup of tea, nor did he even touch it.
"Miss Shen, I am a businesswoman, do you understand?"
He was warning her not to be greedy.
Shen Xi pursed her lips and said, "Is 2 okay? Although I know you don't lack money, I won't skimp on the interest."
It will be fine once she settles down.
She doesn't have any special advantages, and she might even have a bunch of messy problems with hidden dangers. It's truly a sad time-travel experience.
Jiang Ci's eyes were indifferent. He could tell that the woman standing there was flustered, even showing the naivety of a student, but what did that have to do with him?
But why was he feeling so uncomfortable, with a slight spasm in his heart?
“I’ll round it up for Ms. Shen, 10 yuan. You don’t need to pay it back. Once the divorce certificate is issued, I hope you can say goodbye to Jiang Du.”
Jiang Ci paused, then subconsciously said, "He likes you very much."
Although he didn't know why he had to say it, he had a gut feeling that he would regret it if he didn't, just like he had regretted it countless times before.
Shen Xi smiled and said, "Thank you for your generosity, Mr. Jiang. I will say goodbye to him."
Shen Xi was very grateful that he was willing to lend her the money. In fact, if he hadn't lent it to her today, she wouldn't have said anything.
For him, lending money was a matter of friendship, but of course they didn't have that.
It is one's duty not to lend.
Jiang Ci nodded, not giving Shen Xi a second glance, and immediately turned and went upstairs with the documents, leaving only one sentence:
"Okay, I have to go to the meeting."
However, that back view looks a bit like someone fleeing in panic.
Shen Xi shook off this absurd thought, sat on the sofa in a daze for a while, and then went upstairs.
She returned to her room, blindfolded herself, and collapsed onto the bed.
Shen Xi lay listlessly on the bed. She had gone from being surprised by her time travel to feeling lost and panicked, and she didn't even know where to go from here.
She stared blankly at the ceiling. Other people who transmigrate are always making up for regrets and getting revenge in a satisfying story. Why is she so pathetic?
She now needs to figure out how to establish herself in a city.
Shen Xi chuckled self-deprecatingly, realizing he was indeed still a child at heart.
She lay there quietly, without any fear of the unfamiliar world.
……
"Boss... Boss."
Assistant Li spoke on the screen to remind the inattentive boss.
What's going on? Why is the boss offline ever since the meeting started?
During online meetings, the boss usually looks at you with those dark eyes, making the person giving the report doubt themselves and reflect on whether they did something wrong.
Seeing the latest project manager's bald head sweating profusely on the screen, and with his pleading eyes, Li could only offer a word of advice.
The bald-headed manager gave him a grateful look.
Jiang Ci lifted his eyelids, completely oblivious to the embarrassment of being caught slacking off.
He glanced at the bald man indifferently: "Change the person in charge. I don't need a person in charge who can make mistakes with the data."
"For this project leader election, all candidates should send their proposals to the email address provided. The candidate will be selected next Monday."
After saying that, he left.
Those who remained in the computer conference room glanced gloatingly at the bald man, who stood frozen in place. The bald man hurriedly flipped through the prepared documents. How could this have happened?!
Li Zhu showed no sympathy whatsoever. He considered the mistakes at work as a matter of competence. He glanced at the restless meeting room on the screen and took charge of cleaning up the mess and adjourning the meeting.
Jiang Ci was dressed in a black suit and had his hair slicked back today, looking every bit the high-quality professional man.
But at that moment, his mind wasn't on the project plan at all; he was thinking...
When has he ever seen Shen Xi shed tears?
Why did his mind momentarily become dazed when he looked at the woman who was hanging her head dejectedly?
He seems to have forgotten someone very important.
But the woman with the blurred face in the dream clearly didn't match Shen Xi's temperament at all.
Jiang Ci felt an increasing pain, as if a thousand silver needles were piercing his brain, and large beads of sweat streamed down his handsome face.
This is the first time Jiang Ci has tried to retrieve forgotten memories.
Fragmented memories surge forth.
A clear, pleasant, and comforting woman's voice rang out, followed by a blurry silhouette as always.
"Hey, where did this arrogant kid come from?"
"Jiang Ci, remember this, my name is..."
Do you remember who I am?
"Get lost, stay away from me."
Finally, a hoarse female voice rang out.
"Jiang Ci! Keep moving forward, don't look back!"
Despite the excruciating pain, Jiang Ci continued to explore this intriguing memory.
In just a moment, Jiang Ci could no longer hold on and collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath in pain, his pupils gradually turning pale.
He gripped the legs of the office chair tightly, trying to lift it up.
Just when Jiang Ci thought he was about to die, someone rushed in during his short, fleeting life.
"Sir, sir..."
Just as Butler Li was about to knock on the door to remind the young master that it was time for dinner, he heard a loud thud as something heavy fell to the ground.
He knocked on the door but received no response. As soon as he entered, he saw his husband curled up on the floor in agony.
In a moment of panic, he hurriedly hoisted Jiang Ci onto his shoulder and ran outside...
……
Lu Group
Bai Linlin, tears streaming down her face, remained stubbornly upright, her eyes resolute as she explained:
"I really didn't mean to. I really wanted to go out and look for you, but I tripped and fell."
The man sitting at the desk, after listening, visibly showed his heartache. He stood up and sat down next to Bai Linlin, handing her a piece of paper and comforting her:
"Linlin, I will go to the Jiang family to apologize for you. Don't cry, your eyes will look swollen."
Bai Linlin looked at Lu Chuan with sobs, "Brother Lu, you're so good to me. What would I do without you?"
Lu Chuan coaxed her, "I was the one who took you there, so I might have to take responsibility for you!"
He looked at the delicate woman in front of him with heartache. He wanted to protect this fragile and stubborn flower. In Lu Chuan's eyes, no one was a more understanding and just-right friend than Bai Linlin.
Bai Linlin lowered her head shyly, her eyes, hidden beneath her loose hair, showing a hint of annoyance and disdain.
Lu Chuan made nice promises, but he never mentioned wanting to be her boyfriend, let alone marry her in the future.
Although he would buy her many expensive gifts and send them to her home every time they were together, she couldn't feel his affection.
It's not like I can't afford something like this, so I don't know who I'm trying to impress with this beggar's act!
Looking up again, Bai Linlin was filled with gratitude, her eyes filled with admiration as she gazed at Lu Chuan, thinking, "You're so amazing."
Lu Chuan felt his heart was completely filled with the woman in front of him. His face flushed, he hurriedly gestured that he would solve the problem and that she didn't need to worry at all.
Bai Linlin provided significant emotional support and acknowledged Lu Chuan's efforts. Lu Chuan, as if injected with adrenaline, wanted to take Bai Linlin out to play, leaving his assistant waiting outside to report on his work.
The Lu family's assistant, who had been waiting all afternoon: ...
unlucky!
These days, money is hard to earn, and life is tough.
Working with a boss like this is truly unbelievable.
