Chapter 257: Losing Friends Becomes Defending Friends
Allen wanted to interrupt, but found that there was no room for him here. He could only sit down quietly, pretending to read the documents carefully, but his ears were listening to what they were saying.
Cao Yan followed Li Jing'er and moved to meet Sister Fei, standing opposite each other.
"Xiaoyan, long time no see." Sister Fei shifted her gaze to Cao Yan, took two steps forward, and hugged her without saying a word. It was a hug that she missed seeing each other after not seeing her for a long time.
Allen happened to catch a glimpse of this scene and was stunned. His surprised eyes kept falling on them, and there was always a question in his heart, what happened? Could they know each other? No.
"Have a drink?" Li Jing'er asked. A flash of surprise flashed across her eyes, and she had the same question as Allen. She just didn't know how to ask.
Sister Fei nodded and led them to leave International City together, went to a nearby coffee shop, and found a favorite corner to sit down.
"Do you mind?" Sister Fei asked Li Jing'er for her opinion. Not everyone likes the corner position by the window.
Li Jing'er pulled out the chair, found a comfortable position and sat down elegantly. She turned her head to look at the scenery outside the glass window, smiled at the corner of her mouth, and looked back at Sister Fei, "Sister Fei, it's been a long time since I last saw you.
.”
Sister Fei has the same surname as Li Jing'er. Li Fei was her real name before her debut. Later, because she became famous, almost everyone ignored her surname and kept calling her "Sister Fei". Over time, Li Fei got used to it.
The honorific title given to her by others, but now that she meets an old acquaintance, all her pretensions are put down, and she talks freely like an old friend she has not seen for many years.
"We have all changed in the past five years. Maybe this is the best thing if we are at peace with each other. Whether we see each other or not seems not to be so important, right?" Li Fei still had a smile on her face and her eyes flashed.
There was a touch of complicated emotions, but they disappeared quickly. No one could guess her thoughts. People in the entertainment industry are always accustomed to taking off their truest masks and replacing them with faces that are alien to others. There are always
It exudes the aura of "keep away from strangers".
At first, when Li Jing'er saw Li Fei, she did not immediately think of her as her old friend. However, after Li Jing'er and Cao Ge made their relationship public, Li Fei obtained relevant information through the news and entertainment headlines reported by major media and found out who the young lady was.
My old friend Li Jinger. As for what kind of emotions only I know.
"What surprises me is that you serve as Ren Xiaoman's agent." Li Jing'er was a little incredulous. She looked at Li Fei sitting opposite in disbelief and said lightly.
On the way to the coffee shop, Cao Yan told Li Jing'er that Li Fei was an old friend, and it suddenly dawned on her. It turned out that the first sense of familiarity came from five years ago.
How did Li Fei and Li Jing'er meet five years ago? What is their connection with the Ren family? And why did she eventually become the manager of her enemy's children and support them all the way?
There seems to be no answer to this topic. Everyone has his own ambitions. Five years ago we were strangers, but five years later we are on different paths and no longer work together.
"Xiao Fei, do you think we can cooperate with Shichuang's plan this time?" Cao Yan was caught between them, but she never wavered from her original position. She was a silly woman who used her life to protect their precious friendship.
, Cao Yan will never let him down no matter when or where he is, and will never forget his original choice.
Cao Yan interrupted the topic they wanted to continue. Li Jing'er immediately understood her best friend's intention, so naturally she would not make the situation awkward. Li Fei's eyes were full of envy. If she had not left at that time, would she still have this friendship? In her heart,
Thinking about it, everything she has experienced in the past five years has made her experience and transform into the strong woman she is today. Her hard work has been rewarded, but the warmth of her soul has always been lacking and cannot be made up for.
"Xiaoyan, I'm just an ordinary employee. I can't influence the decisions of senior management." Li Fei elegantly picked up the coffee just delivered by the waiter, took a sip, and then put the delicate coffee cup back to its original place.
Then he raised his eyes and looked at Li Jing'er, and they just met his eyes, "Master Cao will not let your project fail, what are you worried about?"
There was a hint of sarcasm in Li Fei's words, which made Li Jing'er feel unhappy. However, the purpose of coming today was to talk about cooperation, not to be emotional. She paused slightly and responded with a smile, "Sister Fei, you think too much, what good can I do?
What I’m worried about is just that I want to put aside this relationship with Master Cao and see where my abilities go.”
In Li Fei's eyes, Li Jing'er's transformation was all about the honor she gained because of Cao Ge. A flash of envy flashed across her eyes, but it had nothing to do with jealousy.
But in Li Jing'er's view, Li Fei was full of hostility towards her, maybe with a hint of lust, love rival? An uncertain thought flashed through her little head, her face tightened her smile slightly, and with a serious expression, she said:
"Sister Fei, it seems I have found the wrong person."
When Li Fei heard the words "Sister Fei" before "Sister Fei", Li Fei's heart suddenly felt as if a big stone was weighing heavily on her heart, and she even felt like she was about to suffocate on purpose. Familiar strangers may feel like this.
Just when Li Jing'er was about to leave, Li Fei lowered her head to hold back the tears that were about to fall, and asked scolding: "Don't you feel that you owe me? As long as you admit it, I can help you complete this project unconditionally. I can even use my money.
My relationships helped Skytron become more successful.”
Cao Yan sighed and shook her head, "Xiao Fei, how can you think like this?"
"Then what should I think?" Li Fei was slightly excited. When she raised her eyes to look at Cao Yan, tears had already fallen from the corners of her eyes. She choked and asked persistently: "Why am I the one being rejected by you? And not you?"
Cao Yan was immediately speechless when asked, what kind of logic did Li Fei use? Cao Yan really didn't understand. But when faced with Li Jing'er being scolded, her first priority was to protect and defend, and the target was Li Jing'er.
At the critical moment, the best friend is still reliable, and the harmful friend turns into a defending friend.
Li Jing'er didn't want to explain anything, so she smiled and looked at it indifferently, which instantly penetrated Li Fei's fragile heart and said: "You know what? You always think that it is the best decision for others. Have you asked the other party if they agree?"
Here, Li Fei could not bear the pain and suffering she had endured silently for the past five years. "Xiaoli has disappeared, maybe she is no longer here." Li Fei, with a hoarse voice, has always been considered a strong woman by the outside world. When she mentions the past, her emotions are all over the place.
It became gloomy, as if the sky was falling.
"I have never regretted the decision I made five years ago. If time could go back, I would still make the same decision without any sense of disobedience. Xiaoli's disappearance is man-made, and I believe she must still be alive. For you,
I feel relieved.”
Li Jing'er's eyes changed slightly, she put away her sadness and guilt, and sincerely felt happy for Li Fei to reunite after a long separation, and said with a smile.
Li Fei kept silent and looked at Li Jinger angrily.
"Silly girl, I'm really happy for your achievements today. I won't talk about business today, but just celebrate the reunion of our sisters, okay?" Li Jing'er's eyes were clear. In her eyes, Li Fei was an important person in her heart.
There are inextricably linked relationships.
What's the relationship? We'll have to wait for the storyline later.
It's natural to feel a little emotional when mentioning old things again. But if we want to move forward, staying in the past tense forever will only waste the lives of those who sacrificed and live up to their efforts. Isn't it?
The three women were chatting in this casual cafe, talking about the strange things they had encountered in the past few years after saying goodbye, and talking about the pitfalls they had experienced...
But in Allen's office in International City, the entire atmosphere was filled with tension.
"Trash, can't you handle such a small thing? The public relations department has a high salary, but it gives me such efficiency?" Allen was furious. He was so angry that he swept away the documents on the desktop and threw them all to the ground.
"Xu Weiwei used the strength of the ladies to fight. If we confront each other head-on, it will only push International City to the forefront of public opinion. Then we will be in more trouble. Allen, you should know that the best person to take action at this time is not our International City, but
It's the empire." Xiaojie shook her head and expressed her helplessness towards Allen's angry temper. She had already become accustomed to it. She analyzed the importance of the problem and hoped that Allen could deal with the problem rationally. She knelt down to pick up the documents that were thrown on the ground.
, organize it and put it back on the desktop.
Xiaojie is Allen's personal assistant and his only personal agent.
"That's my sister, my biological sister, can't I do something for her? Can't I protect the people I want to protect even in my current position?" A flash of anger flashed across Allen's eyes, and the solemn atmosphere suddenly made the little girl
Jie felt almost suffocated.
"Alan," Xiaojie's mouth trembled slightly. She naturally understood that Alan's anger was not just because he was sulking because he could not defend Li Jing'er upright, but because he was brooding about what happened back then.
No matter how powerful you are or how powerful your influence is, there will be times when you are helpless. Take Allen for example.
When I was powerless, I had no way to protect the person I liked, and even the qualification to fall in love with someone was deprived by public opinion. Now that I have my own power and can stand alone, on the edge of public opinion, after all, I cannot resist, and this feeling of failure instantly pours in.
Allen's heart was filled with displeasure and anger.
"Go out, I want to be alone for a while." Allen said coldly, with his back to Xiaojie, a complex emotion flashed under his eyes. He still scolded her for her cowardice back then, but he never regretted her decision back then.
I just sigh that I didn’t get the ending I wanted.
"Alan, I still hope you can treat it rationally. As your personal agent, your honor is tied to me. I hope," Xiaojie's gentle tone was ruthlessly interrupted by Alan, and she even looked back.
When he looked directly at me, his eyes were full of contempt, and he said "disgusting" on his face without giving any good looks. He said coldly: "In your eyes, everything except profit is profit. You are really cheap, no, I should say guilty."
No matter how much Alan scolded him, Xiaojie acted indifferently, her heart already bursting into tears, but she knew she owed him, so she could only endure all the indifference and ruthlessness silently.
The anger overflowing from Allen's eyes could not be vented. For a woman who loves her heart, a woman who loves her blood, even five years of punishing herself could not offset the harm that had been caused to Allen. It could not extinguish the accumulated pain in his heart.
Five years of resentment.
Allen directly pushed Xiaojie back against the wall and launched an attack. There was no warmth in this process, only direct and domineering possession. There was no prelude, only the revenge of a fierce attack.
Xiaojie was used to it, and it seemed that only this could bring Allen back to his senses. She was willing to use her warmth to calm Allen's anger.
