1. Zhao Yanyan's Wedding
"President Liu, come, let's have another drink!”
I picked up the wine glass and drank it again. I couldn't remember how many glasses it was. I didn't know if I drank beer or white wine, nor did I know who persuaded me to drink.
I sat at the banquet with a dull gaze as I recalled everything that happened between me and Zhao Yanyan over the years. Now, I could only watch her silently as she became someone else's bride.
Zhao Yanyan and I have been classmates since high school. At that time, Zhao Yanyan was the center of attention in school. She excelled in her studies, was good at singing and dancing, and was the school belle for three consecutive years. Although we were deskmates, we didn't actually talk much. We only said a few words, and they were irrelevant. When I was in high school, I was very introverted and weak. I was always bullied by the bad kids in my class. Because my studies were not good and I was not the kind of student that the teachers doted on, I always had a strong sense of inferiority.
I don't know when it started, but I fell deeply in love with Zhao Yanyan. I silently watched her every move and smile. However, I never told her because she had many suitors around her, and everyone seemed to be much better than me.
We parted ways during the class allocation of the second year of high school. She chose liberal arts, while I chose science. At that time, science wasn't my strong suit, but I always had a fear of unfamiliar environments, so I stayed in my original class to fool around. I thought I could forget about this girl who appeared in my dreams every night after I parted ways with Zhao Yanyan, but I was wrong. My longing for Zhao Yanyan didn't decrease, but instead increased day by day. She had become the goal of my life. People often say that boys have stamina in their studies, and I think I might be one of them. In the last year of high school, I devoted myself to my books and picked up a lot of knowledge that I had missed out on in my first and second years of high school. Finally, she lived up to everyone's expectations and got into the famous Qinghua University. In the joyous atmosphere of the adults at home, I knew that this credit should actually belong to Zhao Yanyan. If it wasn't for the fact that I missed her and knew that she would apply for Qinghua University, I wouldn't have worked so hard.
When the new students reported for duty, I unexpectedly saw that familiar figure. After a year, Zhao Yanyan has become even more beautiful. Although I don't feel as inferior as before, I know that I'm still not worthy of Zhao Yanyan. Which student in Qinghua University wasn't a top student in high school? Compared to them, I have nothing to be proud of.
What surprised me was that Zhao Yanyan, the campus belle of Qinghua University, didn't have a single boyfriend in her four years of university, nor did she have any scandals.
It was obvious that Zhao Yanyan lived in a wealthy family since high school, and there was a car to pick her up from school. This is a world of difference compared to me, whose parents are both workers.
During the four years of university, I constantly wanted to close the distance between us. I studied finance, politics, foreign languages, and participated in various clubs to improve my abilities. Basketball, soccer, swimming, mixed martial arts, and shooting became the main force of the club without exception. I represented Qinghua many times in the national university competition. It could be said that I had completely changed from the cowardly Liu Lei in middle school to a dazzling star in Qing Hua. There were many girls who pursued me, but I couldn't forget Zhao Yanyan. Perhaps it was because of my personality that I never confessed to Zhao Yanyan. I was afraid of failure, afraid of being rejected, afraid of losing this relationship that I had saved for many years. In my opinion, even though I didn't confess to Zhao Yanyan, it means that I still have a chance. I don't want to waste this opportunity, so I'm still trying my best to improve myself and surpass myself.
After graduation, I was lucky enough to work at the same company as Zhao Yanyan again--Weiruan Company. I'm still single, and so is Zhao Yanyan.
At the end of the year when I was 31 years old, I finally reached the peak of my career. I sat on the position of the president of the Z country. I knew that the opportunity I had been waiting for was here. I was prepared to confess to Zhao Yanyan this Christmas and tell her all about my feelings for her.
As the saying goes, life is always unpleasant.
For Christmas, I went to the flower shop early in the morning to order a bouquet of flowers and booked a private room at Maxim's Western Restaurant. I'm planning to ask Zhao Yanyan out for dinner tonight and find a suitable time to confess to her.
I walked into the office happily. Secretary Xiao Zhang gave me a bunch of greeting cards. I smiled. It's good to be a CEO. Even if you don't give greeting cards to others, others have to give them to you.
At the top of the greeting card was an invitation card, something that could be seen almost every day. Sitting in the position of the president of the Z country, he had to socialize almost every day. I lazily picked it up and opened it. When I opened it, I instantly felt the world spin, as if I had fallen into an ice cellar. In an instant, my mind went blank. This invitation was like a bolt from the blue, hitting my chest deeply.
Zhao Yanyan was getting married? I suddenly felt like crying, but I couldn't. What made me even more unsure whether to laugh or cry was that the groom's name was actually my assistant, Xu Qingwei. He and Zhao Yanyan were getting married? Why didn't I know about this beforehand? I shook my head with a bitter smile. For the past year, I've been focusing on my career and rarely asked about other matters. What's even more ridiculous is that Xu Qingwei was promoted from the position of the Public Relations Manager when I was the CEO. Zhao Yanyan, who was originally the Deputy Manager of the Public Relations Department, is now the Public Relations Manager.
After a long time, I finally calmed down. Since it hadn't started, let it end.
**** I'm the dividing line ***
I picked up my wine glass and staggered over to Zhao Yanyan and Xu Qingwei."Xiao Xu, Yan Yan. I-I wish you a happy marriage and a happy baby!”
Xu Qing and Zhao Yanyan also raised their glasses. Zhao Yanyan smiled and said,"Thank you, President Liu!"
I downed the wine in my cup in one breath and was about to return to the table when my heart suddenly ached and I fell to the ground.
When Xu Qingwei saw me fall, he hurriedly shouted,"Call the ambulance quickly. President Liu fainted. His head fell on the corner of the table and he bled a lot!”
Zhao Yanyan quickly squatted down and pinched my philtrum.
The ambulance pulled me to the hospital and soon I was pushed to the operating table. I didn't know why my consciousness was still so clear, but my body couldn't move at all.
A doctor in a white coat looked at the instrument beside the operating table and hurriedly said to another person,"This is a heart failure caused by excessive drinking. Hurry up and put on a high-voltage dimmer!”
Another nurse quickly pressed a high-pressure board against my chest.
"Increase the voltage!" The doctor in the white coat shouted.
The nurse pressed the high-pressure board on me again.
The doctor in the white coat shook his head and said to the nurse,"No, give him a shot of cardiac stimulant and ask the patient if he has any last words.”
**** I'm the dividing line ***
Outside the operating theater, all the company employees were waiting anxiously. The nurse ran out and shouted to the crowd,"Which one of you is called Zhao Yanyan?"
Zhao Yanyan, who was wearing a wedding dress, was stunned for a moment, but she immediately ran over.
The nurse said to her,"The patient is about to die. He has something to say to you."”
**** I'm the dividing line ***
I opened my eyes with difficulty, and Zhao Yanyan was already waiting in front of me.
"Yan Yan, I-I have something I've always wanted to tell you. Yan Yan, I-I love you!”After saying that, I left this world without any regrets.
Tears streamed down Zhao Yanyan's face as she gently rubbed the face of the person on the operating table. No, it should be the face of the corpse. She muttered to herself," Liu Lei, if you had said this to me earlier, I would have married you regardless of everything-"
