Chapter 482
"Zheng Wei! Phone!"
Hearing the commotion, Zheng Wei, who looked a bit haggard, said thanks, took off her gloves, turned around, and trotted to the reception room, picked up the phone on the table and answered: "Hello? This is Zheng Wei."
"Go ask for two days off, I'm waiting for you at the gate of your construction site."
Hearing the familiar voice from the phone, that face she had dreamed of countless times appeared before her eyes again. Zheng Wei was stunned, and tears streamed down instantly.
"You go, I don't want to see you."
"I told you to go ask for two days off, then come out." Wang Yan's voice, which brooked no refusal, came from the phone, and then he hung up directly.
Listening to the busy signal on the phone, Zheng Wei let out a laugh, but then became conflicted again, standing there foolishly holding the phone. After a long while, she wiped away her tears, put the phone back on the cradle, and turned to find her leader to ask for leave.
It was easy to get leave, after all, the leaders didn't care much. Especially now, during this real estate boom, the leaders drank one big banquet after another, foot baths today, massages tomorrow; where would they have the energy to pay attention to a subordinate who had just graduated? Even if this subordinate was a bit prettier, it didn't matter.
After greeting Li Weijuan, Zheng Wei returned to the dormitory, tidied up briefly, changed her clothes, and with her heart pounding like a deer, she went to the gate of the construction site.
There was a black Mercedes parked there, very eye-catching. She walked to the driver's side in confusion and knocked on the window covered with privacy film, and saw the window slowly roll down, revealing that face that made her toss and turn at night: "Over there."
Zheng Wei curled her lips, walked around the front of the car, opened the passenger door, and got in: "You changed cars? This is too big a gap from that Santana of yours, right?"
"It's my company's car. After all, Li Weijuan is here, you wouldn't want her to see it, right?"
Pointing at the workers passing by outside who were standing there staring at the car, Zheng Wei looked annoyed: "Then you get such a nice car and park it at the gate of my construction site? Are you going to let people say I'm being kept by a rich man in the future?"
"Do you care?" Wang Yan smiled and shook his head, starting the car and leaving the site.
Zheng Wei had no heart to experience how different the luxury car was; she clenched her hands, picking at her fingers, looking at the road ahead. After a long while, unable to stand the silence, she said: "You didn't read the letter on the nightstand?"
"I read it, and tore it up after reading."
"Then why did you come to find me?"
"You are my woman, what's wrong with finding you?" Wang Yan shook his head: "Besides, you've got some nerve, huh? Giving me orders?"
"I said it very clearly, don't think that just because we did that, it means we have to be... Hey, take your hand away, hurry up, I'll bite you, okay?"
Unable to struggle, Zheng Wei blushed, remembering the previous madness; she leaned weakly in the seat, letting the big hand do as it pleased: "Since you wanted to find me, why did you only come now?"
"To let you cool off." Wang Yan looked at her with a smile: "You've been cursing me for over a month, right?"
"I cursed you even in my dreams." Zheng Wei shared her mental journey during this period, unable to help but sigh: "Maybe I'm just a shameless bitch, knowing you're a scumbag bastard, yet still wanting to get close to you, still wanting to throw myself at you, letting you eat me up."
"Actually, a person's life is a process of constant compromise and letting go. It's not just about things between you and me, there are many things that you originally couldn't accept or tolerate, but you have to do them. So you don't need to have too much of a psychological burden; if there's any fault, it's all my fault. It's all my fault for being too outstanding, making you so infatuated."
"Shameless." Although she said that, Zheng Wei felt a little better inside. The moment she got into the car, she knew she couldn't escape, and didn't want to escape. Since that was the case, what else could she do? She had to feel better even if she didn't.
Soon, they drove into the city, all the way to an alley by Fuxing Park. Wang Yan parked neatly on the side, and Zheng Wei followed him out of the car in confusion, walking to his side: "Where is this? Why are we here?"
"Follow me."
Wang Yan didn't answer, directly taking her into the gate of a residential complex. The houses in this complex were all old-fashioned two or three-story western-style houses, which were detached villas, but the area wasn't large.
After walking for a few minutes, they stopped in front of a house. Wang Yan took out a key, opened the door, stood to one side, and waved at Zheng Wei: "Take a look."
Zheng Wei stood still at the entrance step by step, looking at the decoration and furnishings inside, which were in a similar style to the one she lived in with Li Weijuan, and turned her head in confusion: "You didn't buy this for me, did you?"
"The property deed is on the coffee table in the living room, feel free to look, it doesn't matter if you don't like it, we'll buy another one if you see one you like later."
"Don't scare me, how much does this cost? I don't dare to take it." Taking off her shoes at the door and stepping on the clean floor, Zheng Wei walked to the coffee table, picked up the property deed, opened it, and looking at her name printed on it, she looked at Wang Yan suspiciously: "You aren't using a fake certificate to tease me, are you? You don't even have my ID card, and I haven't even shown my face, and this house is mine?"
"Many things don't need to be done in person; now a house has been put under your name and your household registration has been moved over along the way. If I really wanted to harm you, I could probably make you owe tens of thousands in loans tomorrow; there's always a way, it's just not worth it." Wang Yan closed the door, walked to her side, and slapped her little butt: "Go take a look."
Zheng Wei let out a long breath, threw the property deed on the table, turned around, and hung onto Wang Yan, wrapping her arms around his neck: "No matter how big or nice the house is, what's the point if I live here alone? There will be plenty of time to look later. Do you know? After I went back that day, I regretted it, regretted that I shouldn't have left. Recently, I haven't had any energy for anything, my mind is full of you."
"Only your mind is thinking about it?"
"Hmm... everything is thinking about it. They say there are only tired oxen, no plowed-out fields. I wasn't used to it back then, but now, humph, let me taste your power, hurry up and come..."
Having had deep contact that reached the heart, they became the most familiar people to each other, so there were no more so-called misgivings. Zheng Wei certainly had a belly full of words to say, to denounce Wang Yan for this and that, but when they arrived at this little western-style house and the two hugged tightly, those things were no longer important. She couldn't control wanting to be with Wang Yan, just as she couldn't control the trembling of her body. A thousand words were all transformed into her unsuppressed, wanton moans and cries...
After looking through the house, Zheng Wei lay weakly in Wang's arms: "Actually, this house you gave me is really of no use. I'm at the construction site in the suburbs all day, I can't even stay here for a few days a month. Li Weijuan and I aren't together? When she came over, she didn't know where she met a rich guy and let him live in the house for her, not far from Suzhou Creek. From time to time, she finds time to go out and fool around for two days; looking at her like that, she's definitely sleeping with someone and tossing around. Her house isn't as good as this one, but it's not much worse. As a result, she hasn't stayed there for a few days either, she's in the dormitory at the construction site."
"What's wrong with that? At worst, just change jobs."
"No, that's too disloyal. I came here with Li Weijuan, we agreed to work together. As a result, it hasn't even been half a year, and I ran away; I'm so sorry to her. If we're going to leave, she has to say it first, then we can leave together."
Wang Yan smiled and played with his little treasure; Li Weijuan had said the same thing in his arms. In fact, as long as the two of them chatted, it would be fine, but neither was willing to speak up. Because whoever spoke first would be the deserter, and the two of them were just competing with each other.
"Anyway, having your own house is better than not having one. Even if you don't stay here often, when I come to find you, we always need a place. This house is not bad, just live here steadily. The clothes and bags in the walk-in closet and the shoes in the room downstairs are all things I had people buy for you before. Wear them if you like, donate them if you don't, and go buy your own later. It's just right to go shopping with Li Weijuan, you two will have company."
"If I really go shopping and spend money with her, do you believe Li Weijuan will definitely say I've hooked up with a rich guy?"
"The word 'hooked up' isn't quite accurate, but I am indeed a rich guy, and besides, are you still afraid of what she says?"
"That's true, I've already shamelessly crawled into your bed, what can Li Weijuan say about me?" Zheng Wei still felt a bit uncomfortable inside; after all, she wasn't after money, and she wasn't happy just because she had money. After a pause, she looked up and asked: "Tell me the truth, how many women do you have now?"
"Counting you, four."
..."You bastard, you're quite honest."
"You know, I've always been like this; you ask, I answer."
After a long silence, Zheng Wei said: "When did all these things happen?"
Wang Yan thought for a while and replied: "Shi Jie was during the Chinese New Year of freshman year, the second was in the first semester of sophomore year, and the third was the day after our graduation party."
"How many more women until you can be honest?"
"How can such things be certain? It can only be said to depend on fate."
Zheng Wei gritted her teeth, sighed helplessly, clutching little Wang as she built her psychological defenses. After a while, she asked again: "Do they all have houses? Do they all have cards you gave them?"
"Of course, I've always treated everyone equally in this regard. By the way, take some time to get your driver's license, and I'll buy you a car later, which will be convenient for you to travel between the construction site and here."
"This house of mine is worth hundreds of thousands, and a car is also ten or twenty thousand. You said you gave Shi Jie and the others similar conditions, plus daily expenses, buying those clothes and bags, it must be three or four million, right? What exactly do you do? How do you have so much money?"
"You know Long Teng Tea Drinks, right? It's the one that sells canned herbal tea and drinks; the Hey Tea series of fruit drinks you liked to drink before is what I made. I founded it in my freshman year. To this day, besides having two factories in Jin Ling, there are four other large factories across the country responsible for supply in their regions."
"It is now one of the best-selling drinks in our country, and it is also exported to Japan, South Korea, and Southeast Asian countries, and is currently opening up the European and American markets. In addition, I have a construction company. I remember mentioning the Future Real Estate company I talked about when I graduated, saying I went to work at the Future Design Institute. That is also under the Long Teng Group, and Long Teng Tea Drinks is also under the Long Teng Group."
Zheng Wei opened her eyes wide: "So Long Teng Group is yours?"
"So do you think a few million means anything to me?"
After another long silence, Zheng Wei snorted: "I want a BMW, a expensive one."
This is the difference in purpose. Li Weijuan came for money, and her vision was shallow; as long as she felt she was provided for, there was no problem. Zheng Wei is different; she is about feelings, she wants Wang Yan as a person. But now she can't have this person, and there are other women sharing his already limited time. So she wants money, which seems very justified.
More or less, Wang Yan didn't care. He didn't care, and he also knew that Zheng Wei wasn't greedy, she still had a limit, so it was no big deal.
After two days of comfort and confirming that relationship, Wang Yan returned to Jin Ling to accompany Shi Jie and Ruan Guan. He didn't go to find Li Weijuan, because it wasn't time for her vacation yet. Besides, since the two of them were competing so comfortably at the construction site, he wouldn't add to the chaos; after all, it's not good for one to ask for leave after the other. According to the normal time, he would come to linger with Li Weijuan in ten days.
Speaking of which, he is quite busy now, very different from his original life. After all, he used to stay in one place most of the time, not running back and forth like this. He didn't feel annoyed, after all, there were four of them, three were good sisters, and they didn't know about each other, which was quite interesting...
Returning to the construction site again, Zheng Wei's feeling was different, her face was rosy, and her spirit was excellent. This time, she could be considered to have resolved the obsession in her heart, although not completely. But there was no way, either she didn't resolve it and felt uncomfortable herself, or she resolved it incompletely and felt a little uncomfortable. Naturally, she chose to feel a little uncomfortable.
The first thing Li Weijuan did when she saw Zheng Wei was to look her up and down: "Do you know that it's spread all over the construction site now, saying you've been kept by someone? What exactly is going on? You look different from before, did you sleep with that guy who drives the Mercedes? Tell me the truth."
"Is it any of your business? Can you not be so gossipy?"
"We are good sisters, and we came to work in Shanghai together. If something happens to you, I have to be responsible. Is this the same as being gossipy? Hurry up, tell me, what's going on?" Li Weijuan reached out and touched the fabric of her clothes: "Look, it's only been two days, and you've changed your whole outfit. Based on my experience, these clothes aren't cheap. And that bag of yours is also new, it definitely isn't simple."
"Want to know?" Zheng Wei looked at her with a smile: "Okay, then you tell me your situation clearly first, and I'll tell you what my situation is. Fair, right?"
"Forget it, it's not a big deal." Li Weijuan refused bluntly: "But Zheng Wei, what are you thinking? I'm just in it for the money, and life is pretty good now, so what are you after? People who drive Mercedes usually don't have that kind of strength unless they are older. You aren't short of money, following someone like that, being a mistress without a name, it's really not worth it. Tell me the truth, did you really sleep with him?"
"Yeah."
"You're confused."
Looking at her heartbroken face, Zheng Wei smiled: "Only you are allowed to do it, not me? Besides, who stipulated that people who drive nice cars have to be old? Can't they be young? Can't they be some rich kid?"
"I really can't understand." Li Weijuan shook her head: "If you're like this now, why did you go through all that trouble? Isn't Old Wang also quite rich? You don't have to glare at me, I know you've always liked Old Wang. Although I don't know what happened between you, it's nothing more than that Shi Jie. Since you have such determination, isn't it better to just be with Old Wang? Isn't it not too late to be with him now? Why bother? How precious is a woman's first time? If you followed Old Wang, he definitely wouldn't treat you badly."
She was purely considering it for her good sister, not considering her relationship with Wang Yan; of course, it was useless to consider it. From her perspective, Zheng Wei and Wang Yan were indeed the best choice. Wang Yan had money, Zheng Wei had feelings for Wang Yan, and now Zheng Wei was willing to give up those persistence, so what else was there to say.
Zheng Wei was startled; she wasn't glaring because Li Weijuan was gossiping, but because this woman's intuition was so accurate, and what she said was so right. She shook her head: "Alright, it's pretty good like this. He bought me a house near Fuxing Park, which is much better than yours. He also asked me to get a driver's license, and he'll buy me a car when I get it. It will be convenient for us then, I can drive you around."
"So generous? He gave you a house directly? Did you get the property deed? Is it in your name?"
"Of course, I'll take you to see it when I have a day off, and you can recognize the door. Is it better than your rich guy? Mine gave me a house directly, yours, humph, lets you live there. And lectures you?"
Zheng Wei was also letting herself go; the deed was done, and except for not daring to say who it was, she wasn't afraid of anything else, it didn't matter.
"Yes, yes, yes, you're still the best." Li Weijuan laughed loudly without explaining. She paused, thinking of the key question: "Hey, since we're both like this and not short of money, why bother suffering at this construction site? Why don't we quit and change to an easy job? Let me tell you, if it weren't for you being here, I would have quit long ago. For people like us who rely on our youth, how can we be exposed to the wind and sun at the construction site all day?"
Zheng Wei opened her mouth to agree, but when the words reached her lips, she hesitated again and pondered: "Juan'er, when we first came, the leader agreed that coming to the construction site was to get in touch with practical work and gain experience, and after a year or so, we would be transferred back to the headquarters. Now we've both been working for almost half a year, are you willing to leave just like that? A man's money is a man's money; what if one day he gets bored and doesn't give money anymore? So, we still have to rely on ourselves, we can't just be appendages."
"You're still the strong woman." Shaking her head, Li Weijuan gave a helpless thumbs up: "But seriously, leaving now would be a waste of half a year of suffering, and I'm really not willing. Oh, my life is bitter. I was really blind when I chose civil engineering. It's one thing to study civil engineering, why do I have to work in civil engineering..."
"Alright, stop complaining, work hard, it will be better in the future, there will always be a time when the bitterness ends and the sweetness begins."
The sisters tidied up and went to the construction site with high spirits...
Time is passing, life is continuing.
Now the living father has given the hard drive, so he doesn't need to take time to participate in the research and development link, just copy the data of each stage regularly. Because a lot of key information is in the process. Even if the result is the same, there are still differences, and you don't know when you can use it. Especially since the hard drive's capacity is labeled as infinitely large, he just stores everything.
Although he was very leisurely before, he actually had a lot of things to do, especially the scientific research career that consumed most of his energy. Fortunately, he was bold in delegating power, decisive in solving problems, and had a good grasp of the overall situation, so he looked very leisurely, not that he didn't do things.
It's different now, because he has completely gotten rid of scientific research affairs, and the remaining management is really easy for him. This is the reason why he has four girls and frequently travels between the two places. But it must be said that it was better when he was an emperor...
His design career is of course still going on. Although Future Real Estate hasn't been established for long, backed by the Long Teng Group that sells herbal tea, the hard strength in terms of money can be guaranteed. Of course, it's impossible to operate only one project in Jianye District, and there are land acquisitions in other cities. And another point, recently he has been looking for suitable locations in Beijing, Shanghai, and Jin Ling to build his own office building.
After consideration, he finally decided to arrange the headquarters in Jin Ling. There's nothing else, just that he has lived there for four years and is used to it. Besides, he hadn't settled in Jin Ling before, and he was tired of staying in Beijing and Shanghai, so he just stayed in Jin Ling. There's no more consideration, after all, his strength is there, even if he builds the headquarters in a mountain ditch, he can develop it.
These projects are all designed by him, and it's quite energetic to work. In the past, when he was engaged in architecture, he would gesture to the designers, and the architects had to understand, communicate over and over again, which not only consumed his energy but also tortured the designers.
It's better now, he is the designer, leading the main team of the design institute to do the design, and it is built exactly as designed, which saves a lot of communication costs, not to mention saving trouble, and he also found a new pleasure in spending money, which is quite good.
And Zhang Kai is doing well there. This website, to put it bluntly, relies on time accumulation, accumulating content bit by bit, and then attracting readers through content to obtain traffic. In the final analysis, content is the core. And their content is text, which has to be typed out word by word by people.
So it's impossible to have big progress, it can only be done slowly. Zhang Kai also sees it quite clearly, so he is not in a hurry, still mixing in forums, writing articles, and iterating the website.
Wang Yan of course couldn't let him starve, paying him six hundred yuan a month, and the place to live was also provided by him. Just waiting for several years of deep cultivation, and then rolling the snowball after financing...
"Have you really thought it through?"
Lying on the sofa, Wang Yan took the book from his eyes and looked at Shi Jie, who was only wearing a silk nightgown in front of him, with her collar open, revealing her spring scenery, looking at him with charming eyes.
Shi Jie walked a few steps and threw herself on him: "I've thought it through, no matter what, this child must be born. As for my parents, let them be sad. It's better than me not getting married for a lifetime, and not having children, which would hurt them even more, right? It's still what I told you before, quit my job and go to another city for a year to have the child, and when I come back, I'll say I met a bastard and was cheated, anyway, you are the bastard. Apart from this way of acting first and reporting later, I really can't think of any other way.
Let me tell you, I'll be twenty-six after the New Year, the later you have a child, the more dangerous it is. I'll resign tomorrow, don't go anywhere recently, do you hear me? Just stay here and make a baby with me."
"You must think it through, having a child is a big deal, it will be too late to regret if you are really pregnant."
"Are you trying to avoid responsibility?"
"We've been together for four years, am I that kind of person? It's just that I'm afraid you'll regret it."
"That's my business, hurry up, try to get pregnant before the New Year."
Since she said so, Wang Yan of course didn't care. He threw the book aside and walked to the bedroom holding her: "Have you thought about which city to go to after the New Year?"
"A closer one, it's convenient for you to come over. Oh, let's talk about those things later, I'll leave it to you to arrange. Are you tired of me? Are you annoyed with me? You're going to forget your old love now that you have more new ones? You weren't like this before."
"What nonsense are you talking about? You should be punished, let me serve you with family law..."
