Chapter 21 Going Home

Rhine Corporation Building.

Lin Xian pushed open the office door. Brother Wang was already waiting inside. "Lin Xian, you're here."

Brother Wang stood up from the sofa, sighed, and pointed to the X Building across the street through the floor-to-ceiling window:

"Just like yesterday, the area outside President Zhao's office is packed with people." Lin Xian walked over to the floor-to-ceiling window and looked at the twin towers in the distance.

Both buildings used one-way glass, so the view from the inside was clear, but from the outside, nothing could be seen except the mirror reflecting a wall of blue light.

He narrowed his eyes,

staring at the 22nd floor of the opposite building, which was basically at the same level as his, only less than 300 meters away in a straight line.

Now, reflecting the midday sun, only a layer of crystal blue glass could be seen, obscuring the view inside.

Only the Roomba VV was missing.

He raised his head.

"But I can't control it. I can't stop thinking about her. I can't just throw everything away, can I?"

The marketing team leader looked embarrassed, gazing at Disney:

"Why does that Roomba always bump into her?" Yu Xi reached out and took her hand: "She's always like that."

Evening.

This time it really hurt. Zeng Shan couldn't help but grit her teeth. "Let's get off work then."

"It might be complaining or urging me." Glug glug.

"We're keeping your clothes for you, waiting for you to grow up and wear them;"

Disney replied softly.

Yu Xi pointed to the neon lights gradually lighting up outside the window: Boom.

Yu Xi followed behind her. She suddenly felt a little out of place. Yu Xi said softly: Having said that.

Standing up straight.

The Roomba VV, nestled in the corner, pounced like a hungry wolf, its indicator lights flashing as it rushed towards the crumpled paper.

"I've always been afraid of causing trouble for others, afraid of my emotions affecting others."

He used his left hand to hold Disney's hand tightly, pulling her closer: "I remember this place, I remember it very clearly. I asked you here if you wanted to be my secretary and told you the password to the office door."

The marketing team leader left the office. Taking a deep breath, he gave a thumbs up: "You...how did you get here?"

She was very familiar with this purple Zhao Yingjun Veyron. She had sat in it with Yu Xi. It was the day after her birthday this year that Yu Xi drove this car to the Bugatti Castle and put on the most beautiful fireworks display.

Lin Xian's eyes widened.

After a pause, Lin Xian said, word by word:

Disney got out of the car and found that she was on the Bund, facing the colorful Oriental Pearl Tower on the opposite bank. Where they parked, a dozen meters ahead was a fence, and below, the endless river water.

"I'm the last one. Are there any other departments after me?"

And in the X Corporation, on the 22nd floor, the president's office was still brightly lit.

Yu Xi looked at Disney on the other side of the office:

Whether she opened or closed her eyes, all she saw was the figure of her daughter, President Zhao.

"That's right."

The Zhao Yingjun Veyron stopped by the road.

"Compared to what you gave me, it's not worth mentioning." "Before leaving, let the next team leader come in."

"Now that you've been busy all day, it's time. Do you need me to help you with anything, Yu Xi?

I'll go to X Corporation now to see what Brother Wang has arranged for each department and find out the exact timing for you!" Yu Xi pursed her lips and remained silent for a long time.

Disney blinked, looking at the woman rubbing her ankle: A gentle night breeze blew past.

The two leaned against the Bund's railings, watching the night view of the river on the opposite bank, speechless for a long time.

Like a dead machine." "Sorry, I don't." "Not worth mentioning."

Hoping for some sound, some movement.

"You've never been a burden to me. On the contrary, I've come this far because of your help."

The thick double-layered password door closed. Zeng Shan's voice trembled slightly: Disney shook her head. Sigh.

Everything was noisy.

"It's not that I don't want to go home, but how can I go back?" Looking at Zeng Shan:

"Yes."

Disney closed her eyes. Yu Xi nodded, taking it as a default. "Heh heh."

Its mechanical claws opened the paper ball with a *peng* sound, tossing the paper ball in, each time making Disney smile. Zeng Shan replied: "Ah, is that so."

"Regarding the purpose of my visit today, I won't let the sky fall for you. Even if it does, I'll fix it for you."

The marketing department's team leader took the corrected report and nodded. Only then did she finally open her mouth: "Especially now that President Zhao has left us, if you can't get out of this, and continue to live in the company like this, without going home, and eventually have health problems and get sick, it would be even more of a loss."

"This matter, I and Da Li, including Zeng Shan, haven't been hiding it from you. I often ask them about you, your itinerary, which isn't a secret. None of us have ever thought of hiding it from you, but it's just tacit understanding."

When people are busy, they don't think too much. They don't have time to think too much. It seems like their minds are as still as water, but in fact, they are filled with other trivial matters, suppressing the things they really dare not think about in the corner, preventing them from ever moving.

"President Zhao's matter, I'm just as hurt as you are. She's our daughter. We should bear this together."

Yu Xi's eyes were firm.

"You go first. I'll handle some work here."

"Actually, I don't want to trouble you like this. I don't want you to waste your precious time on me. I know you have important things to do, and I don't want you to be distracted because of me."

She tore a piece of paper from her notebook, crumpled it into a ball, and threw it at the coffee table in the distance.

It felt like the same flood was about to rush down in her heart. "I don't have any appetite. I don't really want to eat." Yu Xi shook her head:

"Brother Wang."

Lin Xian spread his hands:

Boom!!!

The white jade statue of Rhine Skytower,

The cowardly mother who drove her Ferrari into No. 17,

Disney held her breath, feeling

In the cold office, who else could stay with her? "Are you feeling better?" Yu Xi turned her head and asked. "Want to go out and take a walk?"

"You wanted to come over early yesterday morning, but I persuaded you. I think cooling down slightly for a day is the best way. Some things are too conflicting and peaceful, and it's not appropriate to solve them immediately." "Very quickly." "We're keeping your toys for you, waiting for you to grow up and play with them;"

"We mean well. Brother Wang wouldn't harm you, would he? In this world, besides your family and relatives, Brother Wang is probably the only one who would never betray you and would treat you wholeheartedly."

Uh."

Immediately!

It turned out.

He turned around, looking at Zeng Shan:

Every night, she didn't go home, alone in the office, with the lights on. Yu Xi recalled the eighth dream realm, the images in the projection corridor of the Disney personal exhibition hall in the museum, one by one

It was as if those warm scenes were vivid in her mind:

"It's those places I just mentioned. Change them again after you go back. Times are progressing, and after two years, the Rhine brand can't just think about living off its old reputation. It has to keep up with the times."

She lowered her head: Disney's voice was very soft:

"President Zhao's things don't need to be thrown away."

"I gave the owner of that car an irresistible price. Although the car hasn't been transferred yet, it belongs to you."

The brush swept, swallowing the small paper ball into its stomach. "Not yet."

"I remember all the places you took me to, because it's very magical. Something unforgettable happens every time, and every place has something unforgettable." "I got you a Bentley, and you wrecked a Ferrari. I don't think I can let it go without compensating you with another car."

She could understand those things. She could understand, but..." Disney smiled softly:

Yu Xi turned on the left turn signal and drove off the elevated bridge: In her ears, she could still hear the voices of everyone talking. Before her eyes, it still seemed like the hustle and bustle of the day; Yu Xi smiled slightly and shook her head: But now.

"I can see that." Yu Xi sighed softly. "It's a pity, I didn't buy it from him. It's a used car, but I think you should like it."

"I think it's quite interesting to bring out everything one by one for you now, but Brother Wang and I actually don't know many things." "I bought a car. Want to go for a ride?"

During the day, she still had the entire company accompanying her to be busy.

"President Zhao under the bed kicking off the quilt, President Zhao watching TV on the sofa, President Zhao brushing her teeth next to the sink, President Zhao turning her skirt in the dressing room and looking in the mirror""Good! Responsible! I knew you would be that kind of woman!" The huge office was so quiet and empty for the first time today. Although X Corporation's business was usually very busy, it would never be so busy that it would work continuously for two days without rest.

"Did he finally buy a car? Did he buy it from his moneybags, Gao Yang?""Especially the marketing department, it must keep up with the trend and fashion, including hot topics, trends, and the attention of netizens on the Internet. The world is changing rapidly, and many things come and go quickly. They can become obsolete in just two or three months, so you must always remain sensitive."

She watched the Roomba swallow the paper ball, stunned, not understanding: Disney rested her tired face on her right palm, and drew eight circles on the report sent by the marketing department with her left hand:

Disney picked up the pen and selected:

"At home, there are traces of President Zhao everywhere. I just casually sit anywhere, or even glance, and I see President Zhao's shadow there."

Now.

As Brother Wang said, it ruffled Zeng Shan's hair. Every single one of you. She opened her eyes.

"It was actually sent to you." Trash! Trash! Found trash!"

"I especially don't want to be his burden. I don't want to hold him back.""Trash! Trash! Found trash!""You mean..."

She bit her lip, her expression becoming melancholy: *Ka*.

Zeng Shan Qiu just closed her eyes like that.

Would Zeng Shan Qiu still play the paper ball picking game that had been played for over 600 years with the Roomba V that she gave her?

The smile disappeared in an instant.

"Every family has its own problems, and everyone has unspeakable secrets. I'm not such a nosy person. It doesn't matter if you tell me the details."

Zeng Shan Qiu, who was grieving for the loss of her daughter, but restrained herself from causing trouble. Watching Zeng Shan. Listening to Yu Xi's words. *Ci la*--

Zeng Shan smiled helplessly:

Disney looked blankly at the huge space.

I believe that everything that belonged to Yingjun will eventually return to President Zhao."

"Do you remember this place?" Yu Xi asked. *Ci la*--

Disney smiled faintly: "The sky is falling."

She raised her head:

Disney looked at the marketing team leader: "Of course I know I can't do this; I also know that I'm not the only one who is saddened by President Zhao's departure."

This gift is too precious."

Zeng Shan Qiu took a long breath and crossed her arms: "Any fool can see that." Did not speak.

"Don't worry, Lin Xian, the sky hasn't fallen yet."

Zhao Yingjun just wanted to make herself busy.

""There will be President Zhao watching TV on the sofa, President Zhao turning around in the mirror wearing a new dress, a footstool will be prepared in front of the sink, waiting for you to slowly grow taller and slowly grow up;"

"Let's go home together."

The purple Zeng Shan Qiu Veyron roared on the elevated expressway, heading to the other end of the city.

Inevitably, Zhao Yingqun was sitting busy at her desk, tirelessly reviewing documents, with the heads of various departments standing in front of her, communicating and exchanging work.

The Roomba W started again, rushing around.

"Did Lin Xian tell you? Did he tell you that I haven't been home for the past two days?"""Let's go back."

Many office workers had already returned home and eaten hot meals.

"I'm telling the truth. It all comes from your help. Some you know, some you don't; some are him, some are not him, but in fact it's all him."

Lin Xian patted Yu Xi on the shoulder:

Disney revealed a smile that was not quite a smile. Every time, this silly Roomba could make her laugh, even if she didn't want to laugh now.

"I talk to him about a lot of things, about how I miss my mother every day, about my biggest wish being able to go to Bugatti with my parents. Every day I have to take out that photo and look at it several times. You bought him so many clothes, but he only likes that

one set."

"Ouch!"

Disney turned around, leaning against the railing:

"Actually, saying that Da Li and I are Brother Wang's spies is more like double agents. If anything happens on Brother Wang's side, the two of us will also be the first to tell him. I seem to have gotten off track. Now is not the time to discuss that.""I knew it would be him.""Yu Xi."

Night fell.

Her body became heavy.

The two painful nights of the past. "Of course I remember."

An elderly Disney sat in the living room, crumpling the tissue in her hand into a ball and throwing it on the floor.

"But I really can't let go of this matter, Zeng Shan." "Your hair clips will one day reappear on your head;"

"Yu Xi, actually in places you don't know, Brother Wang has always been paying attention to you and taking care of you, not just after you left X Corporation and established Rhine Corporation. Even before that, since Brother Wang considered making you his secretary, you have become different from before."

Even sitting in this Zhao Yingjun Veyron heading to Bugatti Castle, all she could think about was the night she watched fireworks with Zeng Shan. This not-so-gorgeous fireworks display was not as good as President Zhao's smiling face on tiptoe.

Feeling the sharpness of the wind, just like her troubled heart.

"This riverside, wasn't it the place you took me to after attending the New Year's Eve party of the East Sea Chamber of Commerce just before the New Year in 2023?""You mean that thing? I almost forgot about it.""Yu Xi?"

"It's just that there are many things you don't know, and Brother Wang also told me not to tell

you. I think I can't hide it from you anymore."

She was still like that.

"These past two days, I've also thought a lot and understood what you said, that Lin Zhao is not really our child, does not belong to our future, and has no relationship with us at all except for blood." "Yes."

"I once thought that I was independent and strong enough to not rely on anyone in the world, to be able to face the departure of anyone calmly. In fact, I did very well. For so many years, there has been no sadness that I couldn't bear, and there has been nothing that I couldn't let go of."

"Good Brother Wang, take care of yourself too!"

"Before, Brother Wang had never been like this, even when he encountered a major event or a major setback. According to me, an old employee who has followed Brother Wang from the beginning, Zeng Shan's current state is no different from..."

"You're much smarter than you think, and with me paying so much attention to you, what can you hide from me? And never mind, I'll just be honest with you. Actually, Da Li and I are basically like Brother Wang's spies here."

She tore off another piece of paper, crumpled it into a ball, and threw it towards the office door further away.

Then the trash can Roomba V will shout "Trash! Trash! Found trash!"

Quickly approaching.

Lightly.

Zeng Shan took her eyes back from the window:

"I just want to say that Brother Wang is really good to you, even if he knows very well that you are hiding a lot of things from him and haven't told him the truth; but he is still willing to pretend to be unaware and cooperate with you, even thinking from his perspective, thinking about whether you have any difficulties."

A tall figure stepped in, his leather shoes stepping on the crumpled paper. "What exactly happened between the two of them?" It felt like it was about to crush them. "Trash! Trash! Found trash!"

Outside the brightly lit floor-to-ceiling windows of the office was the night, like dark, viscous seawater.

"As long as I stay at home, all I can think about is President Zhao, Yu Xi..."

For the first time today, she turned around, looking at the dark night outside.

She raised her head, reflecting the shimmering waves of the Huangpu River, looking into Yu Xi's eyes:

Opening her eyes wide, looking at Yu Xi:

She didn't want to deceive Yu Xi, nor did she want to pretend at this time: She said softly:

Disney put down the pen and squeezed out a smile, filling the office.

"Let's take Zeng Shan home!" "It's so late already." "Have you eaten?"

"How did you think of buying this car?" Disney turned her head and asked. Behind her, Lin Xian walked over.

Only then did Zeng Shan Qiu understand why Yu Xi wanted to buy an old car. The Roomba was stunned. Then.

Heh.

"But this home really does, your clothes, your toys, your pillows, your hair clips, your snacks, your towels..."

She also looked at the building across the street with Yu Xi: "I also want to go home." The oriole that crossed space and time, "That's right!"

Zeng Shan Qiu didn't say anything.

Disney walked towards the riverside in the night breeze, wearing high heels:

"I'm really a fence-sitter, but I can't say that after all, you're my boss."

Yu Xi looked at this woman.

Yu Xi also stared at this indestructible female powerhouse. She had never thought that Zeng Shan Qiu would one day become so heavy. Suddenly.

With a crisp sound, the office password door opened from the outside.

Its volume seemed to be much louder, hitting Zeng Shan's ankle with unprecedented power and speed——
