Chapter 2650 It’s raining in Nancheng tonight 11
Jinchen stood where he was, rolled up his wrinkled cuffs, raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhou Lei, whose face was ashen, and the bodyguard who was groaning in pain on the ground.
Zhou Lei looked at the man in front of him with a terrifying aura and broke out in a cold sweat instantly.
Jinchen: "There are a lot of file backups."
"...Don't! Don't!" Zhou Lei immediately put on a flattering smile, and the speed at which his expression changed was astonishing.
He turned to Ren Xian and said, "Boss Ren, this is all a misunderstanding. Look, this person... is your employee, right? So, all you have to do is pay me the compensation, calculated at normal interest! I'll leave immediately. I don't want the club anymore. Let's be even, completely clear!"
Ren Xian looked at the scene in front of him with mixed feelings.
The trouble that had troubled him for two or three months, making him so anxious and angry that he had to be hospitalized, was easily solved by Jinchen.
Xie Shao had clearly promised to help him deal with it last month, but he kept putting it off, claiming he was busy with work.
He suppressed the bitterness in his heart and handed the bank card he had prepared long ago to Zhou Lei.
Both parties destroyed the problematic contract in front of each other.
Jinchen stood aside, lowering his eyes to watch them complete the transaction, and suddenly reached out and put the business card on the coffee table into his pocket.
Ren Xian didn't notice this little action, but Zhou Lei saw it.
He looked at Jinchen in confusion. Jinchen looked at him calmly for a second and then looked away.
Zhou Lei was able to mix in the gray industry and was very alert. He knew that this person was not easy to deal with, so he pretended not to see him, put his card in his pocket, and left with the bodyguards who had gotten up, covered in dust.
Only Jinchen and Ren Xian were left in the room.
Jinchen also took out a bank card, placed it on the coffee table, and pushed it over with his fingertips.
Ren Xian was stunned, and followed the slender fingers to look at Jin Chen's expressionless face. "What do you mean?"
"The money you lent me, including the principal and interest, has also been repaid."
Ren Xian was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly asked a seemingly irrelevant question, "Xie Linzhou...how long will it take for him to return home?"
Jin Chen's mouth curled up into a mocking arc, "Five days, it's hard to believe you'd still ask about him."
Ren Xian: “…”
Being pricked by the same thorn again, he could hardly maintain his composure on his face. "You actually used this to prick me too? Do you think I wanted that? I had no choice at the time. I..."
"You mean you're having a hard time too?" Jin Chen interrupted him. "Is it him who caused it?"
Ren Xian choked, and after a long while, he said dejectedly: "...No."
"But part of the suffering he experienced did come from you," Jinchen said.
Ren Xian took a deep breath, as if to suppress his surging emotions.
"Jinchen, you are right, but don't forget that you will also become his suffering."
"He will know the whole truth sooner or later, no matter what choices you make or how you make amends."
He knew that Jinchen might not help Xie Shao deal with Xie Linzhou as originally planned.
But the initial approach was a deception.
Given Xie Linzhou's seemingly gentle but actually extremely insecure and intolerant nature towards betrayal, he would never accept it.
Jinchen looked at him and said, "This is a matter between him and me, don't worry about it."
He tapped the bank card again. "Also, remember, don't try to threaten me with those things from the past. This is the last time."
After saying that, Jinchen turned around and prepared to leave.
As soon as I picked up the coat hanging on the hanger, the phone in my pocket rang.
Jinchen draped his coat over his arm and answered the phone.
"Zhou Zhou." He spoke and walked out.
The coldness and hardness he showed when facing Ren Xian disappeared in an instant, and his tone was gentler than Ren Xian had ever heard before.
Ren Xian looked up and watched Jinchen's back as he walked out. Suddenly, he thought in a daze, no wonder Xie Linzhou fell so quickly.
It was not until Jinchen's figure disappeared outside the door that Ren Xian slowly withdrew his gaze and reached out to pick up the card on the coffee table.
He took a cigarette out of the box, lit it, held it between his fingers, and watched the bluish-white smoke rise.
Ren Xian's thoughts drifted away.
Thinking back to the first time I met Jinchen, he was even colder and more unpredictable than he is now, as if he didn't care about anything.
Ren Xian exhaled a puff of smoke, and an inexplicable thought flashed through his mind.
I don’t know if Xie Linzhou still remembers that he had actually met Jinchen a long time ago.
-
Five days passed by in the tacit expectation of each other.
Xie Linzhou boarded the flight back home.
Before he turned off airplane mode on his phone, he already knew Jinchen would be picking him up at the airport. Calculating the time, he realized there were less than fifteen hours left until they actually met.
The closer we get, the more complicated emotions surge in my heart.
He clearly knows that what is waiting for him ahead is most likely the happiness he has longed for, but perhaps because he is always losing, his heart is hanging and falling heavily. If he doesn't get close, he won't get hurt.
However, it was Jinchen who was waiting for him in South City. Just thinking of this name always made his anticipation overwhelm his anxiety.
Fifteen hours later, the flight landed at Nancheng Airport.
Ning Xuming is the only one in the team who has not returned yet. He needs to stay in Milan to follow up on the project and is expected to return to China in winter.
If plans remain unchanged, the entire team may travel to Milan again next spring.
All the colleagues who came back together knew that their boss had an important matter today, which was to meet the legendary online lover in person.
As soon as we got off the plane, everyone couldn't help but start joking.
While waiting to collect his luggage, Xie Linzhou turned off the flight mode.
Jinchen sent a message ten minutes ago, along with a photo showing his location.
Jinchen: Zhouzhou, don’t be afraid to come see me.
As Xie Linzhou looked at the line of words, the tension in his heart dissipated one by one like bubbles seeing the sunlight, and he suddenly felt in a good mood.
After picking up their luggage, the group headed out of the arrival hall. Fang Ming, still thinking about his boss's online romance, muttered as he looked around.
"That's strange. I haven't seen any particularly eye-catching handsome guys along the way... Boss, are you being scammed by photos?"
Before he could finish his words, Xiang Wenqing, who was standing next to him, covered his mouth. "Look over there!"
He lowered his voice to Wen Qing and motioned everyone to look at the corner on the left.
A tall, slender man in a camel-colored overcoat stood there, clutching a bouquet of lisianthus flowers. His head tilted slightly, making his full appearance unclear, but his calm demeanor was striking. He didn't look like someone picking up someone at the airport, but rather like a movie star filming a scene.
Xie Linzhou recognized it at a glance. It was Jinchen.
How strange. It turns out that if eyes were a frame, then in a sea of people, you would only focus on the person you like.
When Xie Linzhou looked over, the noisy figures and background around him blurred into fuzzy spots of light, leaving only Jinchen standing in the halo.
At the same time, Jinchen seemed to sense something and turned around.
Their eyes met in the air.
A smile appeared on Jinchen's lips as he walked towards him.
"Holy crap... so handsome." Fang Ming was stunned. His eyes glanced back and forth between his boss and the man who was approaching. He immediately exchanged glances with Xiang Wenqing and the others, and wisely prepared to slip away.
"Boss, my mom is waiting for me to come home for dinner, so we're leaving now. We'll get together next time!"
