Chapter 24: The Signal from Mi Cai
Le Yao carried the guitar I gave me to her shoulder again, hoping to walk by the moat before night could come. I grabbed her arm. She looked at me with some surprise. I said to her seriously: "Last month, when I was solving the debt of Simei advertising, a person anonymously transferred 15 million to Simei advertising account through Governor Sun of the Bank of Communications. I want to ask, is this person you?"
"15 million! Zhaoyang, are you kidding me?"
"No joke, someone really gave me 15 million. I think you are very likely!"
Le Yao shook her head and said, "I am definitely not me who took out this money from Zhaoyang. You can ask the producers of our crew and find out how tight our current shooting funds are. Where can I give you an extra 15 million. Not only the film I am shooting now, the entire company's funds are very tight, otherwise I wouldn't have cooperated with Zhang Yixi, a profitable businessman!"
"No way! Isn't Cao Jinfei still there? He hasn't invested in your company?"
"There is no question of capital injection. I just borrowed some money from him, but it was almost invested in the company's operations and filming of the film. This money has to be returned to him after the movie is launched and returned to him... So, I really can't afford the 15 million now!"
I was once again confused. Who helped Simei Advertising the money, which became the biggest doubt in my heart. So I locked my goal again on Mi Cai, and then I felt something bad in my heart. Could this money come from Yan Zhuomei? And what compromises did Mi Cai make to help me get this money?
I knew this was just a basis for speculation. I didn't want to make myself nervous, and then I abandoned the doubts in my heart and caught up with Le Yao's footsteps.
.........
The night seemed to replace dusk in an instant, and the street lights by the moat were lit one by one. Le Yao still needed some concealment to walk on the road that people sometimes walked. She kept a distance from my body, and looked at the crowd walking by the river while walking. Suddenly, she seemed to ask me inadvertently: "Zhaoyang, do you feel it is difficult for Mi Cai to leave?"
"It's hard to endure, every day is hard to endure!"
"Aren't you really afraid of repeating the mistakes you made with Mi Cai and Jian Wei back then? ... People always lose to time and distance in habit!"
"I'm afraid...but I can't give up because I'm afraid!...Le Yao, I really don't want to be the one who gives up before her. No matter how tormented it is, I won't give up..."
"The reason I won't give up is that your soul and body are unable to live without her, right?" Le Yao asked with a smile, lowered her head and asked.
I once again remembered the tenderness of Mi Cai around me. I dare not imagine how lonely she would be without her in my life. Even her breath has melted into my cell. Otherwise, I would not have packaged myself so frequently to give myself more opportunities to expose it in various media. I just wanted to urgently tell her that I have been waiting for her to come back very hard... Unfortunately, she was a little unworking. More than a month has passed, and I have not heard any news about her again!
I don’t want to care about who loves each other more deeply because of this. I just want to know her latest news. I hope she can give me a glimmer of hope in my life, just a trace is enough!
I finally said to Le Yao: "Isn't love like this? If the body and soul are not sincere enough, it is not worthy of saying it is love!"
"...Haha, I really don't know if you should envy you for love so much, but the loneliness you give to each other is really enviable. Although Jin Fei and I are marrying for business, at least we can meet when we want to meet. Every time we meet, he will give me flowers and give me everything his husband can give besides love, which is also pretty good... Maybe, I am just more afraid of loneliness than Mi Cai!"
"There is nothing to envy or not to envy. Everything comes from choice. The important thing is: you have to understand what you want."
"Yeah..." Le Yao responded, carried the guitar given to me on his back and walked down the street light along the guardrail by the river. It took her a long time to turn back and said to me on a whim: "Zhaoyang, let's go to Shanghai now and meet Jian Wei. Maybe a miracle is waiting for us!"
"Well, maybe a miracle is really waiting for us!"
......
When the night just came, Le Yao and I drove from Suzhou to Shanghai. Because I had drunk, Le Yao was driving. I sat in the passenger seat and looked at the night view flashing outside the car window with a little dizzy look. In my memory for more than a month, I never seemed to have been idle like now, so I narrowed my eyes and wanted to take a break.
When I woke up, the car entered the territory of Shanghai. I knew that I had been sleeping for nearly an hour. I subconsciously took out my cell phone from my pocket and looked at the time. In fact, it was not too late at this moment, and it was only 8 o'clock. Le Yao and I could even find a place to eat before going to see Jian Wei.
After entering the downtown area of Shanghai, the car was blocked on the street. After such delays, Le Yao and I discussed it again and decided to go see Jian Wei first and then have a meal.
Traffic jams are something that can easily make people feel bored. This boredom prompted me to use my mobile phone to open a very professional financial news reporting website in the United States to see if there are any news reports about Xinlu Energy.
Despair seems to be something that will not be repeated forever. I once again saw the report about Micai in the most eye-catching place. Yes, I read it right. This time Micai is the protagonist in the news, but Xinlu Energy has become the green leaf that sets off her.
The highlight of this news is that in just over a month, Micai actually used her excellent negotiation skills and connections in the United States to promote the cooperation between the group and a well-known automobile manufacturer as the assistant director of the R&D department of Xinlu Energy. Moreover, Micai actually accepted an exclusive interview with local media on this matter for the first time. This time she bypassed the interview that Yan Zhuomei received alone!
She was still wearing a capable black business suit, so the silver necklace I gave her was so eye-catching between her neck. The sail-shaped pendant seemed to tell her longing for me. I swallowed my saliva and did not let myself cry with a man's body.
In the news, when the reporter asked her why she was confident to promote cooperation with this car manufacturer, she smiled lightly and answered in Chinese: "Put it calmly, and the result is good or bad, don't worry about it... don't worry about it!"
