Book:The Selfish CEO Published:2024-6-2

Xi Sujie narrowed those beautiful eyes, “So, this is to be seen with Grand President Lan?”
Facing Su Jie’s pressing questions, of course Zi Ge had no way to lie. Only honestly said, “He did me a great favor, and I don’t know what gift would be good, so …”
She ruffled her hair uncomfortably when she met Suje’s interested eyes and coughed, “Don’t get any ideas, I haven’t thought about it yet. Maybe, just watch it with someone else.”
Xi Sujie returned the ticket to her, “Take it. Since we’ve all bought tickets, of course we have to ask him out.”
Zige looked at her and raised the ticket in her hand, “But … don’t you think it’s weird?”
Suje pouted, “All I know is that his wife is gone and he’s single now. There doesn’t seem to be anything wrong with seeing a movie with someone of the opposite sex.”
“You and Su Chen …”
Zi Ge had only opened her mouth to ask when she was already interrupted by Xi Sujie, “I’m different from him. He has a fiancée, if I get involved again, won’t I become a third party?”
She spoke in a cloudy manner, like she didn’t care about anything, but that wisp of sadness, Zi Ge could see clearly. Did not say comforting words, just shook Xisu Jie’s hand to give her encouragement.
Study.
Lan Yu Feng was talking to Yan Nan about matters on the project when his cell phone rang at first. Sweeping the screen, he saw the familiar string of numbers, his eyes flickered slightly, without a trace. Yan Nan, however, had already noticed the slight change, and his heart could not help but accumulate a few points of worry.
“Hmm?” Lan Yu Feng picked up the phone without slowing down.
“It’s me.”
“I know.” Lan Yu Feng easily heard a few moments of nervousness in her tone, and asked in a pretense of calmness, “Is something wrong?”
“It’s so late, it didn’t bother you, did it?”
“I’m still awake.” She looked away, and he had a rare moment of patience. Again, he asked, “Is something wrong?”
“Well, there is that little thing …”
“You say.” Lan Yu Feng put down his pen and threw himself within the soft chair, his demeanor somewhat lazy.
“It’s … like this. A patient at the hospital gave me two movie tickets today, and I … “The words of invitation, Zi Ge was going to say out, but, in the end, she paused. She scratched the wall in chagrin and changed her words, “I’m not in love, so I want to say that I’ll pass these two movie tickets on to you. Why don’t you take Ms. Su Xi to see it with you!”
Lan Yu Feng’s eyes rose.
This woman, changing her words is a bit too raw.
“That’s fine, thanks.” Lan Yu Feng answered without hesitation.
“Oh …,” a soft, inaudible sigh was heard on the other side, mingled with a loss that was obvious.
Lan Yu Feng couldn’t help but raise the corners of his lips.
Ziggy spoke up over there, her voice a shade darker, “Then … I’m fine.”
“When does the movie start?” Lan Yu Feng asked.
“Tomorrow night after 8:00.”
“What time do you probably get off work tomorrow? I’ll pick you up.”
“Huh?” Zige froze for a split second, a little shaken. Lan Yu Feng cast his eyes out the window. The lights outside were dimmed, like a bright sea of stars. He spoke leisurely, “Su Xi doesn’t see to be free, so you accompany me.”
“…” Ziggy didn’t reply for a long time. His voice, coming through the airwaves, sounded like it was somewhat inauthentic. But, he was clearly inviting himself.
“Hmm? Not available?” Lan Yu Feng deliberately pursued the question.
Ziggy smiled, her eyebrows arched, “I’m free. I get off at seven.”
“Then meet me in front of the hospital.”
“Good.”
Without further ado, the two hung up.
Yan Nan looked at his bright demeanor and wanted to speak. Lan Yu Feng put his cell phone aside and flipped open the text, asking as he browsed, “What do you want to say?”
Yan Nan just shook his head. Without waiting for words, Lan Yu Feng raised his head to look at him, “Say whatever you have to say.”
“Then I’ll say it.” Since Mister asked, Yan Nan spoke bluntly, “I think Miss Meng is very kind. It’s obvious that he’s sincere to the young master and to Mister.”
These words, which entered his ears, did not surprise Lan Yu Feng.
“So?” He didn’t pause, just continued to drop his eyes to the papers in his hand.
“So …,” Yan Nan pursed her lips, “it always felt like she shouldn’t have to endure so much. Your decision is somewhat unfair to her.”
“Continue.” He still did not raise his head, and even Yan Nan could not understand his emotions at this moment. Never before, he had hidden his emotions extremely deeply, and now, it was even more difficult to hear his joy and anger.
Yan Nan inevitably balked a bit in his heart, but he still followed his words and spoke down, “My subordinate said so much because I don’t want mister to regret it in the future.”
Regret?
The corners of his lips curved up as he asked rhetorically, “When have I ever regretted doing anything?”
“But, you are interested in Ms. Meng …”
“What about her?” Lan Yu Feng directly interrupted his words, raising his head, those stern eyes projected over towards Yan Nan, cold and sharp and piercing to the bone, causing all of Yan Nan’s words to momentarily freeze at the mouth of his throat, unable to say half a sentence.
Yan Nan was ultimately silenced.
Lan Yu Feng’s heart was suddenly a little irritable and difficult to settle, dropping the program in his hand and dropping his sights heavily outside the window.
After a long time, his tone eased a bit before he spoke, “Go ahead, I’ll take another look at this proposal.”
“Yes, sir.” Yan Nan answered and glanced at him, ultimately saying nothing more, only closing the door and walking out.
In the entire study, he was left alone. Lan Yu Feng looked out the window at a sea of stars, but in front of his eyes, he couldn’t help but float back to that small face that was either angry and difficult or smiling or tearful. When he was with Little Douzi, he was gentle and soft.
Underneath his heart, he suddenly added a few more annoyances.
On the set, the cranky director was cursing the actors, and apart from the two lead actors, everyone else was being scolded one by one, and the atmosphere of the whole set was so depressing that it was unbearable.
Su Xi and Ke Heng Jun are in the same lounge. Su Xi was applying makeup, while Ke Heng Jun was sitting on the side playing with his cell phone. His line of sight was fixed on the desktop of his cell phone, and the photo on it, Su Xi didn’t need her eyes to see it, she knew who it was.
“I didn’t realize that the legendary Hana Dae Idol who loves to play the most, is really a good man who loves to play romance in idol dramas.” Su Xi laughed and talked to him, and was applying makeup, and could only look at Ke Heng Jun from the mirror.
“What does that say?” Ke Hengjun turned his face away, resting his elbows on the chair’s backrest and propping up his charming lower jaw, looking at the exquisitely made-up Su Xi …
Su Xi glanced at the makeup artist behind her and smiled, just hinting, “Of course it says 99.”
99?
Ko Hengjun raised an eyebrow, “You know this too?”
“Not only do I know, but I see it clearly.”
Ko Hengjun came to his senses, “So what was her expression?”
“You shouldn’t have any trouble guessing.”
“Headache?”
“Uh-huh.” Su Xi nodded.
Ko Hengjun looked frustrated, “Isn’t there a little bit of happiness?”
Su Xi then smiled without saying anything. Ke Hengjun’s handsome face instantly darkened into a potbelly, and with a sideways glance, he asked Xiao Min, the assistant beside him, “Help see if I don’t have any other schedules tonight?”
“Uh-huh. After eight, it’s empty.” Mandy remembered it by heart, but flipped through her phone to confirm.
“Give me the phone for me.” It was a rare day when they wrapped up so early, and Ko Hang-jun didn’t want to miss the opportunity.
Mandy hurriedly handed her cell phone over, and he stepped aside, skillfully dialing a string of numbers.
Su Xi looked at that handsome back. He was an idol who was high above the world and how many young girls and women were clamoring for him, but it was just that he was obsessed with only one person.
Zi Ge …
What kind of magic did that girl have? Even the consistently heartless and emotionless Lan Yu Feng had to be shaken. Thinking of that person, Su Xi’s beautiful eyes darkened a circle. How many times Su Chen had advised her to give up, she had already forgotten.
Perhaps loving someone is like that, like falling into a deep valley, not something you can easily pull out of if you want to.
“Is it convenient for you to call me?” Ziggy whispered to him over there, clutching her cell phone like she was a thief.
Ke Hengjun couldn’t help but lose his smile, “The public figure is me, not you, why are you sneaking around?”
“It’s not because you’re so popular! Several of our nurses here are your biggest fans, so if they torture me, I won’t be able to resist the interrogation and confess all your private information.”
“You spare me!” Ke Hengjun immediately begged for mercy, “You know I have the biggest headache with those little girls.”
Ziggy just laughed, “Why are you calling me today? Not busy?”
“Busy, but busy can’t forget to call you.” Ke Hengjun has a sweet mouth. Zi Ge couldn’t stand it and even ‘tsked’ twice over there, “There’s something you hurry up and say, if you don’t I’ll go busy with mine, there are too many patients today.”
“Tonight, 8:00, we’ll meet. You take me to eat my old favorite snack, when I was in Japan, I really hate to have someone pack it for me and send it to me.” Ke Hengjun was afraid that she would seriously put the phone down, and immediately said a series of words.
“Eight o’clock? No way.”
“Nine o’clock then.” He didn’t mind waiting an hour for her.
After coming back, the agent stared too much, plus to go back to China to develop, not only the group has a lot of things to do, interviews and notices are also scheduled, even the time to sleep is less than pathetic, so, as soon as he came back, he saw her that time.
“Not even at 9:00 …”
“I just have a little bit of time free today, if we don’t meet today, it’ll be another 10 days from now.” Ke Hengjun’s tone, somewhat somber.
Feeling the despondency and disappointment in his tone, Zi Ge eased his tone a bit, “It s not that I m not happy to see you, it s that I … already have an arrangement for tonight, and you called a little late.”
Ko Hengjun subconsciously gripped the phone tightly and didn’t speak for a while.
“What’s wrong?” Ziggy asked on the other end.
Ke Hengjun streamed his eyes around, stabilizing his emotions a little before asking as if casually, “A date for the last one?”
“Which one last time?” Corrected the big one.
“The one we met at the Garden Restaurant.”
“Oh … uh-huh.” Ziggy nodded.
“Then I know.” Ke Hengjun didn’t say much more, his tone was raw and much darker. Not waiting for Zi Ge to say anything else over there, he had already gamely disconnected the phone directly.
Lowering his head, looking at the youthful young girl’s face on the screen, stunned, there is an indescribable loss in the color of his eyes. Lonely look, rather like a child who has lost his home, let people look at it.
Even Su Xi felt a little heartbroken as she watched, no wonder this man always managed to capture the hearts of his fans to death!
After fixing her makeup, she walked over and handed him a cup of hot coffee bought by her assistant. Ke Hengjun wasn’t in much of a mood and just lifted his eyes and glanced at it, not reaching out to take it.
Now, no mood, no appetite.
Being rejected, Su Xi withdrew her hand without much concern, “The date was rejected by Zige?”
Ke Hengjun gave her a look, “She asked out that guy from last time just the one you liked.”
He didn’t forget to add. Soooo, he had this bad habit of poking people.
