Chapter 331 Self-Healing
Chapter 331 Self-Healing
The amethyst in the glass display case refracted tiny spots of light, casting a sharp shadow on Xu Wen's profile.
Yang Yiyao looked at his whitened knuckles as he folded the letter, and suddenly thought of the butterflies nailed to the cork in the specimen museum.
"She started writing a novel. There's a horror element to the novel, in which the hero and heroine confess their love in the morgue." Xu Wen folded the letter paper into a neat square again.
After hearing this story, Yang Yiyao couldn't help but shrink back.
It is hard for her to imagine Xia Ning's current mental state.
What kind of love needs to be confessed in a morgue?
She reached for the tarot cards on the table. The scale pattern on the back of the "Justice" card flickered in the candlelight.
"I remember that she liked writing novels before, and she seemed to have published them on the website?" Yang Yiyao asked.
This was gossip she heard by chance when she was still the president of the student union.
I heard that Xia Ning often stays up all night to write novels.
At that time, she thought it was the creative passion of the novelist, but she didn't expect it was because she had bipolar disorder.
"But this time it's different." Xu Wen picked up the teacup and drank the remaining black tea in it. "She used to only write about love puzzles, but now she has hidden too many metaphors in her stories."
Xu Wen once again recalled the story of "The Princess, the Knight and the Tower".
Whether in reality or in novels, she always likes to use this technique.
But now the love puzzle has turned into a weird plot.
He thought of the talking corpse in Xia Ning's letter.
The muffled sound of a truck running over a puddle was heard outside the rolling door, startling Xiaobai so much that he arched his back.
Yang Yiyao held the furry white cat on her lap, her fingertips sinking into the fluffy fur.
“Maybe this is her way of healing herself?” She paused. “Just like you.”
Xu Wen raised his head hesitantly: "Me?"
Yang Yiyao stroked the cat and said, "You may not realize it yourself, but once you start working, you devote all your energy to your work. I think this is also a way for you to heal yourself, although I don't know what you want to heal."
She felt that she had chosen the wrong major and that maybe she should become a psychologist.
Yang Yiyao's words seemed to have touched a secret switch in Xu Wen.
He opened his mouth, but didn't say anything to quibble at first. After hesitating for a few seconds, he said, "I'm simply afraid of being poor."
Yang Yiyao didn't explain, she just shrugged with an expression that said "you know it all".
Xu Wen didn't want to continue this topic.
He suddenly stood up and left the warm and soft embrace of the sofa: "It's time to go to your company."
Yang Yiyao watched him carefully put the letter into his inner pocket, holding it against his chest as if he was worshipping some sacred object.
When the two of them went out, the drizzle that had been falling finally stopped.
After the rain, the Linjiang University Town was filled with a sweet and fishy smell mixed with soil and flowers.
Xu Wen lowered the car window and humid wind blew in through the window.
Yang Yiyao swerved the steering wheel to avoid the puddle of water.
In the rearview mirror, Xu Wen was sitting in the passenger seat, staring at his phone in a daze.
Now she finally understood the meaning of that text message.
It turned out that he was really waiting for her to come back.
"Tomorrow is Xia Ning's birthday, right? Do you need me to help you pick a gift?" She deliberately made her tone light and cheerful like a real senior: "I'm the best at giving girls birthday surprises."
Xu Wen pressed the lock screen button and looked forward.
"No need, let's wait until she comes back." He said softly.
Yang Yiyao really wanted to ask Xu Wen a question now.
If Xia Ning really comes back one day, how will he deal with the relationship between her and Gu Xingruo?
After all, the latter is his current official girlfriend.
She hesitated again and again, but finally did not ask the question.
Some things you don't need to look at, just observe silently.
In this game of love, she truly had a God's perspective.
If you are a normal player, you should quit the game immediately to stop the loss. After all, this emotional game is complicated and has no end.
But now she didn't want to move at all.
When Yang Yiyao parked her car downstairs of the company, it started raining again.
The place she found was more like a studio than a company.
There is a pharmacy and a barber shop on the first floor, an English tutoring class on the second floor, and the company she just registered on the third floor.
Yang Yiyao found an umbrella from the car and she wanted to hold one for Xu Wen as well.
As a result, before I knew it, the other person had already run into the building, covering his head.
She had no choice but to follow quickly.
The elevator mirror reflected the intertwined reflections of the two people. Xu Wen stared at the constantly jumping floor numbers, and the coolness of the rain still lingered on the back of his neck.
When the number "3" lit up, he suddenly said, "I'll ask you to tell fortunes next time I have a chance."
Yang Yiyao was stunned for a moment.
After she came to her senses, she only said one word: "Okay."
After saying that, she left the elevator on her own initiative. The sound of her high heels stepping on the marble floor was very crisp.
The laughter of young men and women could be heard from the end of the corridor, mixed with the aroma of steam from the coffee machine that filled my nose.
The moment the glass door was pushed open, the office area of more than 200 square meters suddenly fell into an eerie silence.
The round-faced girl who was watering the green ivy had a tremble in her hand, and water from the watering can splashed onto the ground.
Yang Yiyao clapped her hands to break the deadlock: "Let me introduce you to everyone. This is Mr. Xu, the producer of CeCe. I have told you about him before."
The newlyweds, who were originally a bit lazy, stood up in a hurry, and the latte art in their coffee cups had already solidified into a strange vortex.
The girl in modified Hanfu stared at Xu Wen's face, and her notebook fell on the keyboard with a thud.
"Are you the founder of the question-searching software with over 100,000 daily active users?" The boy in the plaid shirt pushed up his glasses that were thick like the bottom of a beer bottle: "But you look younger than my cousin!"
When Yang Yiyao introduced Xu Wen, she did not mention his age, only saying that he was the boss of another cooperative company.
Everyone had a preconceived notion that this was someone much more powerful than their boss.
Xu Wen smiled and replied, "Didn't Boss Yang tell you? I'm her junior, there's a big age gap between us."
Amid the sound of gasps in the room, the short-haired girl in a belly-baring outfit was so surprised that her cell phone slid into the star chart sand table, and an electronic female voice suddenly started playing.
"Shut up!" The girl hurriedly turned off her phone, her ears red as if blood was dripping.
Yang Yiyao leaned against the wall with her arms folded, admiring the cognitive collapse of the people in front of her.
Sometimes she would feel inferior when standing in front of Xu Wen.
After introducing herself to everyone, Yang Yiyao took him to visit her company.
The place she rented was previously a law firm, and the other party left most of the tables and chairs behind before moving out.
The space of more than 200 square meters is divided into several small rooms.
"It's not as luxurious as your company. It's just starting out." Yang Yiyao took Xu Wen for a walk.
She tilted her head and asked, "Does Mr. Xu have any suggestions?"
Xu Wen looked at the office in front of him and admired Yang Yiyao's strong execution ability.
No wonder he could become the president of the Student Union of Linjiang University.
At least he has Gu Xingruo to help him, but Yang Yiyao can only rely on herself.
She accomplished all this in a very short time.
Xu Wen had nothing to say. He spread his hands and said, "It's perfect."
Yang Yiyao didn't take it seriously and just thought that this little scumbag was teasing her.
She finally discovered that Xu Wen was really good at making girls happy. So many good girls were devoted to him, including herself.
"These are basically the conditions for now. If Mr. Xu has any opinions or instructions later, please tell me. After all, you have a share here." After Yang Yiyao finished speaking, she pulled Xu Wen to the largest office at the end of the studio.
"Come here to find me if you have any problems in the future. Of course, you can also go to Black Cat Tarot if you want." She thought for a moment and took out a keychain from her body, which included keys and a remote control.
Xu Wen saw what she meant and refused: "No need for the key. If I want to go sit down, I will call you in advance."
Yang Yiyao hesitated for a moment, thinking that perhaps not giving him the key was a good choice.
"Are you leaving?" she inquired.
Xu Wen nodded.
After the two of them said a brief goodbye, he left the studio amid the gazes of many people.
After Xu Wen left, Yang Yiyao sat in front of the computer and started working.
The volume of consultation on the software is very high.
Not long after she left, there was a lot more work to deal with.
Yang Yiyao quickly got down to work.
While she was busy, she thought of Xia Ning who was writing a novel. She said that was her way of "self-healing".
Yang Yiyao sneered.
She always talks about others, so isn't she also talking about her current frantic work state?
Even though she had already turned on the God's perspective, she was still trapped here.
"Why do I seem a little nervous?"
Familiar scenes, familiar people, familiar words.
Xu Wen and Gu Xingruo once again stood downstairs of Hongjing Industrial Building.
The two of them held their things and stared at the tall buildings in front of them in a daze.
After hearing what Gu Xingruo said, Xu Wen complained: "You said this once last time."
The eldest lady tilted her head: "Really?"
Xu Wen nodded affirmatively.
The only difference is probably Gu Xingruo's outfit.
The last time she was dressed very casually, just a piece of casual clothes, full of youth and vitality.
But this time it was different. In order to appear more professional, she wore a professional suit.
The white shirt, hip skirt and high heels on her feet make Gu Xingruo's beautiful legs look even longer.
She even got herself a pair of black frames with no lenses in them, just the frames.
After putting on the frames, she really seemed to have some of the look of a female executive.
The mature outfit concealed her childishness.
Xu Wen was dressed very casually this time. He didn't wear a suit, just an ordinary set of clothes.
Although he is now the boss of a company, he still has to report to the boss because there are investors above him.
Gu Hong asked him to come back to report on the progress of the project. He made an appointment with Mr. Gu and brought Gu Xingruo with him.
The last time he came, he and Gu Xingruo were just ordinary friends.
But this time it's completely different.
The two officially became boyfriend and girlfriend and did everything they should do.
Xu Wen appeared here today not only to report on his work, but also to meet his future father-in-law.
Thinking back to his previous life, when Gu Hong first found out that he was his daughter's boyfriend, he was very unhappy.
It shouldn’t happen this time, right?
"Why am I so nervous?" Gu Xingruo asked.
The two stood there for a long time, and finally decided to walk towards the tall building in front of them.
"Relax. Weren't you nervous every time the teacher said he would check our homework? Today it was your dad who checked our homework." Xu Wen made up an excuse.
Gu Xingruo denied, "You are wrong. I never get nervous when the teacher checks my homework. I didn't write it anyway."
She still couldn't figure out why she was so nervous.
The progress of Shancheng was very smooth, even she, an outsider, could see it.
Today she even planned to confront her father directly that she and Xu Wen were together.
Whether Gu Hong agrees or not, it will not affect her decision.
She really didn't seem to have anything to be nervous about.
After thinking it through, she felt a little better.
When they reached the door of the building, a familiar secretary appeared in front of them. She said that President Gu asked them to go to the conference room to prepare first.
Soon, the two arrived at the meeting room again.
Previously, the goal was to obtain investment, but this time, the goal is to bring out the product and show the results to everyone.
During the preparation process, Xu Wen felt a little bored. After all, this time was different from the first time, and he really had nothing to prepare.
He said he wanted to go outside to get some fresh air, and Gu Xingruo said she wanted to go too.
She said she was completely unfamiliar with her father's company and took this opportunity to take a look around.
As the two of them walked out, the secretary who had left earlier came back and said that President Gu asked them to go to his office first and said he had something to say to them.
When Xu Wen heard it, he immediately understood what it meant.
It seems that the "test from father-in-law" comes before the "test from investors".
Gu Xingruo looked like she had no idea what he meant. She said casually, "Let's go if we can," and that was a good opportunity to urge her father to come down quickly.
Led by the secretary, the two took the elevator and went straight to Gu Hong's office.
Gu Xingruo was a little excited because her father was finally going to bring her to chat with Xu Wen.
Before, they always chatted alone, without her, so she couldn't eavesdrop, which made her very distressed.
"Do you think my dad will ask us about our affairs?" Gu Xingruo whispered in Xu Wen's ear.
She raised her eyebrows, and the meaning was self-evident.
Before Xu Wen could reply, the elevator had already stopped on the 34th floor.
Once again, he saw an office that was a mixture of European and Chinese styles, and there was even a kang placed awkwardly in the office.
The secretary did not follow them down, but made a "please" gesture to the two of them.
Gu Xingruo walked in with swagger.
Xu Wen hesitated for a moment because he heard the voices of several men in the office.
He didn't know whether he should go over now.
But Gu Xingruo didn't consider this at all.
Seeing Xu Wen not moving, she thought he was nervous, so she quickly took his hand and comforted him, "Don't worry, no matter what my dad says, we will still be together."
The two walked forward together, and when they turned a corner, they finally saw the people they were talking to.
Gu Xingruo didn't react when she saw the three middle-aged men in front of her.
She just thought this was her father's business friend.
But Xu Wen just stood there in a daze.
Because he knew all three middle-aged men in front of him.
One of them is of course Gu Hong, the president of Hongjing Industrial.
As for the remaining two people.
One of them was Xia Ning’s father Xia Hai, and the other was Li Qingyun, whom he had just met some time ago.
