The Consequence of Judging Others by Appearance - Chapter 157
Ever since attending the wedding of his sister-in-law and nephew, Cen Baihe has discovered that Qi Yan often looks at him hesitantly, and hides in the study from time to time to write and paint.
Cen Baihe couldn’t help but start to wonder, could it be because he has passed the hurdle of thirty years old, and Qianqian no longer has that much charm in his heart?
After a meeting at the company that day, he walked through the company corridor and looked at his reflection on the glass. He was tall and straight, with no fat on his body, and his face looked the same as when he first met Qianqian. There was no hair loss or blessing. , There seems to be nothing wrong.
“Boss?” Liang Feng who followed behind him coughed dryly. “You have an appointment with Manager Ruan to meet at 11 o’clock. There are still five minutes left.”
“Well,” Cen Baihe retracted his gaze, looking indifferent.
Liang Feng also pretended that he hadn’t seen him secretly looking in the mirror just now, and his face was full of scrutiny and picky. Seeing this, it must be what Master Qi did, which made their boss start to worry about gains and losses. I don’t know where the fun of these two people come from. They have been an old husband for a few years, and they still play this one. Really do you want money for dog food?
In the reception room, Ruan Youyi treated her broken hair after trimming her earlobes. This time she came to discuss business with Cen Baihe. She dressed up very smartly, just to make a good impression in front of Cen Baihe. A girl like her is not for family marriage, or relying on her own ability to establish a foothold in the family business, so that she can at least have a certain degree of freedom.
Three years ago, the family planned to let her marry the Yuan family, but it was not clear that Yuan Peng and the female apprentice of a liar were unclear. Although the Ruan family wanted to marry, but did not want to lose such a big face, so she and Yuan Peng The matter was put on hold. Later, the Yuan family was involved in one case after another, and even some illegal transactions with foreign countries were involved. Therefore, several members of the Yuan family went to jail. Although Yuan Peng and his brother were not involved, the two brothers were not involved. From the proud of heaven to an ordinary person, I don’t know how many people can bear this kind of gap.
Since then, Ruan Youyi has never seen Yuan Peng again, and he doesn’t want to see her again when he wants to come. There is only embarrassment left to meet again, it is better not to see.
“Manager Ruan, please wait a moment, our boss will come over soon.” The beautiful female secretary put a plate of snacks in front of her with a sweet smile on her face.
Ruan Youyi wondered, wondering if Cen Baihe let such a beautiful young girl be a secretary, wouldn’t Qi Yan think more about it?
After a while, she heard a voice coming from outside, and Cen Baihe and his assistant walked in.
Ruan Youyi stood up and reached out to Cen Baihe: “Boss Cen.”
“Manager Ruan,” Cen Baihe and Ruan Youyi shook hands before letting go, “please sit down.”
For Ruan Youyi, Cen Baihe’s appearance and her words and deeds have been visited countless times in her mind, but for Cen Baihe, this is a woman who has heard the name, but is not familiar with it.
“Cen, this time I am here to talk to you about the planning of the Xijiao city. I don’t know if you are interested in that piece of land.” Ruan Youyi knows that Cen Baihe’s company has developed a piece of land in the past few years, but he doesn’t know. What’s going on, that piece of land is particularly prosperous. It is said that because of the good feng shui, the shops and houses there are now fired at sky-high prices.
Cen Baihe has had such a great sweetness, and now she mentions land development projects, the other party should be tempted.
But what Ruan Youyi didn’t expect was that Cen Baihe’s attitude didn’t seem to be so enthusiastic. After seeing the rough plan, he shook his head and said, “Manager Ruan, this plan is very good, but in my opinion, this plan is still missing. A very important link is the purchasing power and consumption concept of consumers.”
Ruan Youyi said, “Is there any house in the imperial capital that can’t be sold?”
“What our company is looking for is not the ability to sell the house, but the satisfaction of consumers and the value of the shops under the name.” Cen Baihe returned the plan to Ruan Youyi. “In my opinion, this land is not that big. the value of.”
“why?”
“Manager Ruan started studying abroad when he was young, and he may not know much about this land. This land was supervised and killed more than a hundred years ago, and there is a mass grave nearby, so this land has not been sold. “There are even some haunted rumors of high prices and even from time to time,” Cen Baihe paused, “but there will be no loss in developing this land, so your company will not worry about this.”
Ruan Youyi was a little bit smirk. He didn’t expect that Cen Baihe would refuse to cooperate in development for this reason. This is really black near the ink, near Zhu Zhechi, and he has found a Feng Shui master as his boyfriend. Now he has become feudal and superstitious.
“I didn’t expect Mr. Cen to believe this.” Ruan Youyi was silent for a moment, “It seems that Master Qi has a great influence on you.”
“Cen just doesn’t want to disturb the quiet place of the dead,” Cen Baihe didn’t think Ruan Youyi was sarcastic, but smiled. “It is inevitable that lovers will be assimilated, which makes Manager Ruan laugh.”
I don’t know why, Ruan Youyi has the urge to throw the planning book in her hand on Cen Baihe’s face, but when she thinks that this is a man she has secretly loved for several years, she stubbornly resists it.
“Mr. Cen also believes in ghosts and gods?” Ruan Youyi couldn’t believe it. People like Cen Baihe would believe it.
“No, I don’t believe in ghosts and gods. My lover often says that you have to believe in science. There are no ghosts and gods in the world. Ghosts and gods only exist in the hearts of human beings.” Cen Baihe’s smile became more gentle. “Manager Ruan may have misunderstood what I meant. “
Ruan Youyi pulled the corners of his mouth and grinned reluctantly: “It seems that I misunderstood Mr. Cen.”
She was probably blind back then, and she would secretly fall in love with this kind of man who shows affection when something happens, and still shows affection when nothing happens. They have been together for more than three years, right? I’ve been showing for three years, but I haven’t shown enough. In their circles, there are secretly circulating screenshots of Cen Baihe’s circle of friends. Every circle of friends in the circle is about Qi Yan. The general content is, I am a good man, and I am a good man. My man is the best, my man is No. 1 in the world, my man is invincible in the universe.
At that time, she thought the screenshot was someone else’s P. After meeting with Cen Baihe today, she began to believe in the screenshot of the circle of friends.
This day seems to have been chatted to death and can no longer continue. As Cen Baihe’s special assistant, Liang Feng began to come out to enliven the atmosphere, “Manager Ruan, although this cooperation cannot be successful, we wish you a good partner.”
“Thank you,” Ruan Youyi also wanted to end this “awkward chat” atmosphere, and proceeded along the topic of Liang Feng. “Although it is a pity, I hope there will be opportunities for cooperation in the future.”
Cen Baihe stood up and shook hands with Ruan Youyi, “It’s almost noon. If Manager Ruan appreciates his face, please go have a light meal together.”
“Okay, thank you Mr. Cen.” Ruan Youyi directly agreed.
Liang Feng looked at the ceiling. The boss said this because he must be polite. He didn’t expect that Manager Ruan would actually agree to it. Afterwards, he called Master Qi in the name of going to the bathroom, explaining why the boss could not eat with him at noon, who to eat with, and where to eat.
At the studio, Qi Yan hung up the phone and turned to Xiao Yang and Lin Peng and said, “Go, I will invite you to eat out today.”
“Aren’t you going to eat with Mr. Cen?” Lin Peng put on his coat, “you actually invited us?”
“Are you going?” Qi Yan put on a windbreaker and said to Lin Peng, “Is anyone telling you that children should not be nosy, just eat quietly?”
Lin Peng made a cut, but still followed Qi Yan obediently and got into his car.
When the three of people entered the restaurant and saw Cen Baihe, Liang Feng and Ruan Youyi sitting in the corner, Lin Peng instantly reacted: “Are you here to catch the traitor?”
“You kid, who taught you this?” Qi Yan opened the menu and ordered two adult set meals. After ordering Lin Peng’s favorite set meal specifically for young people, he said to Lin Peng, “I am not called this. Catch the traitor, I’m a husband, sing and follow the husband.”
Lin Peng pulled his mouth and signaled that he would stop talking nonsense, then turned to look at Brother Xiao Yang.
Brother Xiao Yang twisted his head and firmly supported any decision of Qi Yan.
Lin Peng sneered lightly, a fan!
“Mr. Cen has changed a lot compared to before,” Ruan Youyi put down the red wine glass with a complicated expression, “It’s much fresher than before.”
She still remembers that Cen Baihe, who was about 20 years old, stood in the crowd. He was so indifferent as if everyone present was not in the same world as him. He was obviously so outstanding that many people were overshadowed by him, but there was no one. Dare to approach him.
At that time she wanted to walk to Cen Baihe, and then said to him: “Hi, handsome guy, do you need someone to accompany you?”
It’s a pity that she didn’t have the courage at that time, so she could only stand in a corner and watch him secretly, and then, like everyone else, chatted with unnutritious gossip and rambling topics.
Thinking about it now, if she had been brave at that time, maybe she would not have so many regrets, nor…
Cen Baihe smiled noncommittal. He felt that he was always alive, but no one knew him at that time, and no one dared to really observe what kind of person he was. Only money is different, he is like a different light in his life, illuminating everything.
When he fell in love, everyone said, you have changed so much.
But he understands that he has not changed, what has changed is just the opinions of these people.
But he doesn’t have to tell unrelated people these thoughts, and they don’t care about the truth. The world is like this. To talk about you is not necessarily to like you or to care about you, but to treat you as a post-dinner conversation. Others are not so important.
Seeing Cen Baihe’s attitude indifferent, Ruan Youyi seemed to have nothing to say with her, but she didn’t care, but relieved: “But a man like you, probably only someone like Master Qi, can move your heart.”
“Well, he is fine.”
Ruan Youyi: You don’t need to emphasize, I know that Master Qi is very powerful and very good. Nowadays, who doesn’t know that Master Qi is good at feng shui. If he sees feng shui, he depends on fate. People don’t care if there is more money. .
Anyway, for Qi Yan, money is just a number, it doesn’t matter how much.
The topic was chatted to death by Cen Baihe again. Ruan Youyi was in no mood and passed away with emotion. After lunch, they were ready to leave. When she turned her head, she saw Qi Yan sitting in another corner.
Ruan Youyi couldn’t help laughing. It was a coincidence.
She glanced at Cen Baihe, who knew nothing about it, and raised her eyebrows: “Mr. Cen, if you go out to eat with the opposite sex, will you dislike your lover following?”
Cen Baihe didn’t understand what Ruan Youyi asked. He was stunned for a moment: “What does Manager Ruan mean?”
“I seem to see Mr. Qi.” Ruan Youyi pointed to the opposite corner, “Look, is that Mr. Qi?”
Liang Feng suddenly looked at the place Ruan Youyi was pointing, oh my mother, it’s really Master Qi.
Most people should be embarrassed when they are discovered about this kind of thing, but Liang Feng saw Master Qi smiling and waving his hands here. Looking back at the boss again, the smile on his face was brilliant, and I didn’t doubt why Master Qi was here.
Forget it, this kind of thing that one is willing to fight and one is willing to suffer, he who eats dog food every day does not need to worry about it.
Ruan Youyi carefully observed Cen Baihe’s expression. After she saw the other party’s smile, the little flame left in her heart was also choked to death by her.
