Hunt her

On the way back, Yan Xu received a call from an unknown number: "Hello, who is this?"

The other person was a man: "Hello, are you Xiao Xu?"

Only Brother Jingxing would call her "Xiao Xu".

Yan Xu felt a little uneasy: "Yes, that's me."

The other person said, "There's a man here who's had too much to drink, and he's recited a string of phone numbers and asked me to call you. Could you please come and take him away?"

"I..." Yan Xu glanced at Shen Yi, unsure whether she should go. She covered the mouthpiece of the phone, "Brother Jingxing has had too much to drink. The shop owner called and asked me to take him away."

Shen Yi's face darkened: "I'm going. You go home."

Instead of asking others for help late at night, he asked a married woman.

Xiao Jingxing dressed impeccably, but his inner character was truly noble...

Yan Xu nodded.

She didn't really want to go anyway.

Yan Xu has this kind of personality. When she gives her complete trust, she will do her best to do anything she can. But if someone betrays her even once, that trust will be taken away.

No matter how much they interact afterward, she will never trust him again.

For her, there are no gray areas, only extremes of black and white.

Shen Yi hailed a taxi on the roadside and headed to the address provided by the shop owner.

This small bar is only two or three hundred meters away from Xiao Jingxing's company.

After arriving at his destination, Shen Yi found Xiao Jingxing.

He was slumped over the bar, half asleep, and smelled strongly of alcohol.

The shop owner said, "He started drinking heavily as soon as he came in. He should go to the hospital to get his stomach checked; it might have a perforated stomach."

Shen Yi: "Okay."

All this fuss is just to see Yan Xu.

He simply couldn't believe that Xiao Jingxing would stoop so low as to drown his sorrows in alcohol outside.

Fortunately, Yan Xu didn't come. If she had come and seen Jingxing, whom she had known for many years, in such a dejected state, she would have been heartbroken.

Xiao Jingxing thus achieved his goal.

As long as Yan Xu feels sorry for him, the cooperation negotiations are more than halfway done.

Shen Yi kicked Xiao Jingxing in the leg: "Stop pretending to be dead, Yan Xu isn't here."

After yelling, Xiao Jingxing, with a slightly tipsy face, tilted his head back and narrowed his eyes: "Go away, I don't need you."

Without saying a word, they started kicking people out.

"Do you think I wanted to come?" Shen Yi called a ride-hailing service on his phone. "Get in the car and leave. And... don't bother other people's wives."

It's really annoying to see him contacting Yan Xu all the time!

Xiao Jingxing retorted provocatively, "No way! When I was with Yan Xu, you were still nowhere to be found."

Why should his relationship with Yan Xu, which lasted for more than ten years, be so easily defeated by someone he had only known for less than a year?

Shen Yi grabbed his collar; "Say that again if you dare!"

Xiao Jingxing felt dizzy and lost his balance, staggering as he stood up: "Do you believe me, Xiao Xu can come back to me anytime I want?"

"Bullshit!" Shen Yi punched him in the face, rubbed his wrist, and turned to leave.

We're all men; Xiao Jingxing's tricks won't fool him.

Xiao Jingxing was knocked to the ground, and the people drinking around him all looked over.

In bars, these kinds of fights after drinking are common, and people just watch the show.

Xiao Jingxing stood up, leaning on the bar counter, rubbing the spot where he had been hit, and laughed, "If you hadn't hit me, I wouldn't have had the confidence to talk to her."

Shen Yi, seething with anger, took a taxi home.

Before he even arrived, someone had already made a complaint call.

Yan Xu hesitated for a few seconds before answering, "Brother Jingxing, how are you doing?"

Xiao Jingxing touched his face and hissed, "Oh no, Shen Yi hit me and it hurts a bit."

"Huh?" Yan Xu's heart tightened. "He hit me. Did he hit me hard?"

Xiao Jingxing complained: "A little."

Yan Xu felt sorry for him and said dejectedly, "His hand must be in a lot of pain."

"..." Xiao Jingxing wondered if he had misheard. "What...what did you say?"

"I'm telling you, Shen Yi's hand must be in a lot of pain." Yan Xu's serious tone didn't sound like a joke. "The force of force can kill each other; if you're in pain, it means he's in pain too."

Xiao Jingxing remained silent for a long time, unable to utter a single word.

The focus now is on Xiao Jingxing being beaten; he was bullied by Shen Yi.

She didn't care about him, the one who got beaten, but instead felt sorry for the one who started it.

Xiao Jingxing questioned, "Xiao Xu, I've watched you grow up. Are you really going to break ties with me for the sake of a hot-tempered man like this?"

She seems unable to truly break off all ties and never see each other again.

She was emotionally detached, but not without feelings.

Yan Xu said coldly, "Then tell me why he hit you. Shen Yi is not the type to provoke others."

Unless the other party provokes him first.

Now Xiao Jingxing was silenced, and his earlier dissatisfaction turned into guilt.

The two remained silent for a long time. Xiao Jingxing's voice was hoarse, as if he was in great pain. "It's okay, I'm not important. As long as you're happy, Xiao Xu, that's all that matters."

"..."

Yan Xu couldn't stand these kinds of words. They sounded like they were for her own good, but they were full of moral blackmail.

What necessary connection does her well-being have with Xiao Jingxing's importance?

Does his importance mean she will become less important?

But this method happened to work on Yan Xu.

She didn't want anyone to become unhappy because of her, and she didn't want to be a burden to others.

As the saying goes, "Strike the snake at its vital point." Xiao Jingxing truly understood Yan Xu; he knew her so well that he knew exactly what to say to force her to compromise.

Yan Xu gritted his teeth and frowned: "What do you want? A chip?"

Xiao Jingxing's lips curled into a slight smile: "Yes, Brother Jingxing needs to collaborate with you to develop new products."

He was blatantly using her, but Yan Xu couldn't bring herself to refuse.

Yan Xu sneered, laughing at his own uselessness: "Fine, Brother Jingxing, I promise you."

After saying that, tears silently streamed down her face.

She thought her family members were just like Yan Shan, using her as a bargaining chip.

The only difference is that one is overt robbery and the other is covert theft; they are the same in nature.

Now, the only person she can completely trust is Shen Yi.

When Shen Yi returned home, he saw Yan Xu listlessly curled up on the sofa.

Her eyes were still a little red and swollen.

Shen Yi became nervous: "You cried?"

Yan Xu turned her eyes to meet his gaze: "I just agreed to cooperate with him, but I feel so uncomfortable and suffocated."

Shen Yi hugged her tenderly and gently stroked her back to comfort her: "It's okay, I'll take care of everything, you just need to do it."

Yan Xu felt very depressed and didn't know what to say. He just wanted to close his eyes, as if closing his eyes would allow him to pretend he was dreaming.

Everything is fake.

Yan Xu leaned on his shoulder and fell into a deep sleep.

Shen Yi carefully carried her to bed: "Get a good night's sleep."

Cooperation is fine, but only after being tricked by Xiao Jingxing once will Yanxu be completely disappointed in him and cut off all ties with him.

You can't teach someone by just one person, but you can teach someone by just one experience.

......

the other side.

Xiao Jingxing, reeking of alcohol, got into his car and sent a message to a colleague: "Prepare the contract with Youyu."

With the matter settled, a weight was finally lifted from my shoulders.

The company should be able to weather this storm.

He gazed out the window at the dim lights and murmured, "Xiao Xu, don't blame me for being heartless. It's your fault for valuing feelings above everything else."

People like them, who are neither good enough for high positions nor good enough for low ones, are simply caught in the middle between the good and evil of human nature.

The last thing you should believe in is human nature and emotions.

After the contract was signed, the new product quickly entered the market.

This time, Xiao Jingxing spent a lot of money on publicity and promotion to create hype.

Online discussions continue to grow, both positive and negative, while sales also continue to increase.

Yan Xu frequently saw Xiao Jingxing's company's products on social media platforms. Although they used Youyu chips, she couldn't feel happy at all.

Cooperation obtained through emotional blackmail will only breed resentment.

Yan Xu turned off her phone and glanced at Shen Yi washing fruit in the kitchen.

She ran barefoot to find him, but Shen Yi heard the unusual footsteps, looked down, and immediately stopped her: "Stop! Don't come in."
