Chapter 10
Upon seeing her open her eyes, Ruan Xuebi was overwhelmed with emotion, completely forgetting the promise she had just made. She immediately began to recount the cause, process, and outcome of the situation, tears streaming down her face.
The atmosphere between the two was strange, causing Fang Yu to feel tense. He pointed at Song Shijia and took the initiative to steer the conversation towards work: "Shijia is one of our company's top designers. The initial design proposal was completed by her. Miss Su can take a look at the proposal first, and if there are any issues or areas for improvement, we can communicate them in a timely manner"
This scene halted the progress of other vehicles, and Ruan Xuebi hurried over to check on her injuries. After a while, Song Shijia finally stood up unsteadily, holding her somewhat dizzy head.
On Friday, Song Shijia and Ruan Xuebi went out for a meal. She reported on the way that after completing this order, she would receive a certain amount of bonus, "The funds for our Asian tour are just around the corner"
Upon arriving at the dining place, the dizziness had not yet subsided; instead, it was becoming increasingly intense. Song Shijia felt a sticky sensation at the back of her head, attributing it to the hot weather without giving it much thought, yet she found herself lacking an appetite
When Song Shijia was pushed out of the operating room, Xu Zhen also came out shortly after, complaining while taking off his surgical gown: "They didn't even perform a simple cleaning of the wound. That Su is really something; running such a large hospital, he can't possibly be unaware that this type of external wound, if not sutured in a timely manner, can lead to excessive blood loss and death. How dare he use a shortage of staff as an excuse? What do you think, should we inform the drug regulatory agency?"
Ignoring the rise and fall in Xu Zhen's tone, Gu Changfeng deliberately changed the subject, "When will she wake up?"
Hello, Miss Su, my surname is Song, Song Shijia
General Gu, what do you think? Should we communicate with the drug regulatory authority?
Song Shijia felt uncomfortable under the intense gaze and had no choice but to ask him if he wanted to have coffee, leaving behind a slightly flustered silhouette
The front desk said that there are too many patients tonight and not enough emergency doctors, so they just took a quick look and left her there
The person who was originally calm while driving suddenly lost control as the car skidded, the steering wheel slipped from their grasp, and the vehicle veered off the sidewalk, crashing into a roadside utility pole, shattering the tranquility that the night had disguised with a loud bang
Seeing the call being disconnected, Ruan Xuebi dialed again, only to be hung up on once more. She continued to call until she wisely switched to sending a text message
It was already past midnight, and a man sat on the edge of the bed, quietly observing the beautiful face for a long time, before letting out a soft snicker in the darkness
Ruan Xuebi was so happy that she forgot she was on the crosswalk, and she suddenly lunged forward for a hug in the middle of the road. At that moment, a vehicle was starting up and about to rush through the crosswalk. Song Shijia was startled and stumbled backward, narrowly avoiding the speeding vehicle, but the back of her head struck the traffic light pole with great force.
Seeing that her emotional display went unanswered, Ruan Xuebi blinked her clear eyes, peeking around with her hands behind her back. She did not expect Gu Changfeng to suddenly stand up, startling her. He seemed prepared to leave and, before departing, said: "Don't tell her I was here"
Seeing his expression of deep secrecy, Zhou Yan could not have been more pleased. He then presented a newspaper that had not yet been published, poking at the large characters at the top of the page with his index finger, and read aloud in a voice that seemed to fear others might not hear: "Former CEO of Changfeng Group spotted, suspected of abandoning old love for new romance"
Later, Ruan Xuebi said something else, but she was no longer in the mood to listen. She could only feel that her heart, which she had worked so hard to control, was almost clamoring to leap out and rush towards the place it had always longed to go. Unfortunately, the long night was too endless, and the time to yearn recklessly under the guise of "having a problem with her mind" was far too short
This is the person in charge of Shengguang, Ms. Su Jin.
The phone rang; Gu Changfeng was driving. He glanced at the display and hung up.
Poetry and elegance
Ruan Xuebi pretended to see through the worldly affairs and agreed, but Gu Changfeng, understanding her quick tongue, felt uneasy and added more leverage, half coaxing and half seriously saying: "If you don't want to be without help when that person comes looking for trouble, it would be best to stand on my side."
After he enlisted, his physique improved somewhat compared to his youth, truly standing tall like a poplar. The moonlight shone upon him, resembling a picturesque scene
Song Shijia was eventually transferred to a private hospital, which, although not large in scale, was equipped with advanced decor and instruments. The doctor named Xu Zhen had been waiting and closed the door as soon as he received the patient
Having spoken, the person rushed into the room where Song Shijia was, like a gust of wind
What if it cannot be replicated
Gu Changfeng furrowed his brows and said, "As long as the person is fine, that's all that matters"
Under the blazing sun, the girl's smiling face immediately caught the eye.
Ruan Xuebi and Gu Changfeng were waiting together in the break room. She sat on the sofa, awkwardly apologizing to Gu Changfeng: "If it weren't for my constant recklessness, Shijia wouldn't have had an accident"
Tsk tsk, today's young reporters are truly quick to understand, that eloquent and talented individual! I am contemplating whether or not to assist him in getting to the television station
As soon as the person left, Song Shijia was at a loss for words, while Fang Yu appeared surprisingly gentle, not at all like someone who had just lost a major deal. In fact, he seemed even happier than she was. "It must be that your initial proposal was very well received by the client. Just go ahead and do it, Shijia. I believe in your abilities; you just lacked opportunities, and now the opportunity has come."
Seeing him with a face full of glee, Gu Changfeng frowned and pressed the call button to reprimand his assistant, Amy
Something has happened to Shi Jia
In the end, he could not withstand the moments of solitude when he was not by her side
Zhou Yan was instantly bewildered in the wind
Su Jin still had her long, lazy curls, exuding a unique charm and appearing quite confident. She did not dress extravagantly, opting instead for a simple women's DR chiffon shirt paired with a long skirt, which had its own allure. The faint scent of perfume on her was the same one he had caught a whiff of from the passenger seat. In half a second, Song Shijia had observed everything about her and then concluded in his mind that she was exactly the type he would like.
When do you want her to wake up
Indeed, the visitor comes with ill intentions
Not waiting for the reckless Young Master Gu, Zhou Yan left in disappointment. Just as he exited the Changfeng Building, he received a furious phone call from his father: "You brat! How many times do I have to warn you not to engage in connections and dealings with influential people! What is going on with the reporter quota at Wangcheng TV Station? The director has called me about this; how could a mere entertainment reporter possibly get into Wangdian!"
Gu Changfeng stared at the newspaper, pondering: "The writing is quite good"
Su Jin smiled quietly and, just before leaving, gently said to Song Shijia: "Well then, Miss Song, let's keep in touch"
Xu Zhen is also aware of the situation between Song Shijia and Gu Changfeng. He once believed that with Song Shijia's relentless pursuit, Gu Changfeng would never escape her grasp. However, in the end, it turned out that it was the Buddha himself who let go.
She said, how could such a large order like Shengguang's fall to them. Although the design studio has a small reputation in Wangcheng, it is absolutely not qualified for Su Jin to take the initiative to extend an olive branch.
Su Jin walked around and observed for a while, then turned back and said leisurely: "There is no need to look at the plan; I really like the decoration style here, so just proceed with this. Furthermore, Director Fang manages his subordinates well, and I have a good rapport with Miss Song, so I hope to entrust the main design of Shengguang to her."
Ruan Xuebi indeed forgot everything upon seeing food, not noticing anything unusual until it was time to pay the bill. When the person across from her stood up, it seemed as if they had experienced a dizzying turn, then closed their eyes and fell onto the table, their body slowly sliding to the ground, with only the noisy voices around and Ruan Xuebi's sharp calls remaining in her ears
At the entrance of the waiting room, as soon as Ruan Xuebi saw Gu Changfeng, she rushed over. She noticed the swelling on the man's forehead, feeling somewhat puzzled, but ultimately her anxiety overshadowed her confusion.
Although I forced myself to remain calm in reaching this conclusion, there was still an uncontrollable surge of heat and turmoil in my heart and chest
The person did not speak, turned away from her, hidden in the darkness of the night
It is not that my impression is good, but rather that Miss Song is hard not to notice
Call Xu Zhen from the contacts and ask him to come over
Song Shijia originally had a headache at the back of her head, and after listening to her disjointed narrative, her face was filled with frustration. The only piece of information worth noting from this is: Gu Changfeng had come and saved her
Unaware of the undercurrents, Fang Yu introduced himself, while Song Shijia instinctively stood up, casually buttoning the small suit jacket and feigning calmness as she extended her hand
Perhaps your death is a good thing
Gu Changfeng raised his eyes to glance at the hospital's sign, his gaze darkening, and then he threw the phone to Ruan Xuebi
Only mentioning that person without even mentioning their name, Ruan Xuebi was already startled, nodding emphatically and saying: "The mouth is unsteady, the earth shakes and the mountains sway! I understand, I understand..." Her demeanor was extremely peculiar, causing Gu Changfeng to chuckle softly, feeling a slight sense of relief that despite the changes in the world, at least Ruan Xuebi, with her simple nature, was still by her side
In the pitch-black depths of the night, only a faint light from the road and the moonlight outside the window illuminated the scene. Gu Changfeng remained silent for a long time by the bedside, hearing a long sigh and short breath behind him.
Xu Zhen was still furious, and after a moment, he suddenly realized: "I almost forgot, you and Su Yong's daughter..."
No major issues
At first glance, Song Shijia was taken aback. She took a few steps forward, wanting to approach Su Jin, but Fang Yu had already reacted quickly, silently pulling her arm and cheerfully responding: "Miss Su's willingness to trust our company is indeed a sign of discernment. The main design, regardless of who it is entrusted to at hetushu.com, will be the same."
On that day, regarding the misunderstanding, Song Shijia was at a loss for words and simply said: "Miss Su left a good impression."
The next day, Changfeng Group
As he hesitated, Su Jin had already friendly grasped Song Shijia's hand, even smiling slightly, "I remember you; at the wedding of the Ji family young master last time, you were the bridesmaid"
As if sensing something, just as Gu Changfeng had left, Song Shijia woke up in a daze a moment later. Realizing that she was not in a usual hospital room, she opened her mouth to ask: "Where is this?"
Ruan Xuebi's words did not bring much joy to Gu Changfeng; instead, they evoked a sense of desolation.
Su Jin raised her delicate eyebrows and eyes, speaking in a double entendre
Ruan Xuebi not only relayed the message but also mimicked Xu Zhen's questioning in a sarcastic tone, covering her cheeks and blushing like a little infatuated girl as she said: "Oh my, you have no idea, when he parked the off-road vehicle like it was an airplane downstairs, I almost wanted to rush over and take him down right then and there, even if it meant severing ties with you afterwards!"
Amy, who had long been accustomed to the open and covert struggles between the two, obediently accepted the reprimand, hung up the phone, and continued working, waiting for the masters in the office to engage in a showdown. In the end, Zhou Yan, in a fit of anger, threw the envelope he had brought like a bomb right in front of Gu Changfeng.
Song Shijia indeed understands him better than anyone else. By the time she left Beijing without looking back, there was no room left between them
Have you forgotten the rule that dogs and those with the surname Zhou are not allowed to enter
During his last visit to the Zhou Yan Apartment, Gu Changfeng's words abruptly severed his romantic connection. Fueled by a desire for revenge, Zhou Yan hired a private investigator to follow Song Shijia. Within a few days, photographs of her dining with Fang Yu were captured. Today, he took the opportunity to showcase the results.
I have always believed that you two are the least likely couple to break up. Because I remember asking Shi Jia how much she liked you. She said she liked all of your qualities. Perhaps in the future she may come to like someone else, but that person will definitely be like you
