Peerless CEO Falls In Love With Me

The clamor on the banks of the Yalu River in winter had changed. It was so quiet that it was desolate, cold, and desolate. The snow that had just fallen had been swept clean. The wooden railings on the riverbank were either bent or bent, or stretched into the river or transformed into a pattern.    

    

There was a very long stretch of road along the river bank. The wooden floor of the road creaked as it stepped on it. In the spacious river bank, the human figures were few and far between, appearing even more lonely. The trees along the riverbank were covered with winter's unique depression. They had long since lost the liveliness of spring, the zeal of summer, and the hidden meaning of autumn.    

    

And on this night, these trees, like my walking companion Qiu Tong and I, appeared before my eyes with every walk. Although it was silent, it was filled with passion. On the riverside road, there were fewer cars that were noisy in the past. Occasionally, they would drive by, but it was also very sparsely populated. Nevertheless, the Yalu River was suffused with an enchanting glow.    

    

The majestic Yalu River Bridge beckons to us from afar. The Yalu River Bridge and the broken bridge formed a long and short parallel line, and with a steady gesture, told the people approaching it of the historic smoke of gunfire.    

    

Now, the neon lights on the bridge sparkled, sprinkling red, blue, and green beams on the quiet ice surface. Compared to the pitch-black neighbors on the other side of the river, it was becoming increasingly apparent that the river was bustling and peaceful.    

    

We went upstream. To our right was the Yalu River, which flowed endlessly under thick ice. To our left was a cluster of tall buildings. The night was very quiet, and we couldn't see a single person in the distance.    

    

We stood on the last step of the bridge, the winter night wind blowing, the frozen Yalu River smooth and gentle, quiet and peaceful. On the bridge that spanned both China and Korea, the neon lights were blinking even more mysteriously. The flickering light shone on the ice surface, transforming into a red, blue, yellow, and green image.    

    

I could not help but marvel at the beauty of the Yalu River. In front of her, I seemed so small, so insignificant. Tonight, I experienced for the first time the Yalu River winter night, is so charming.    

    

"Tomorrow, I will be going back. I will be leaving Yalu River. I really can't bear to leave. " Qiu Tong turned her back to me and looked at the river.    

    

After a long silence, I said, "Qiu Tong —"    

    

"Yes." Qiu Tong replied without turning around.    

    

"I want to talk to you about something."    

    

"Yes." Qiu Tong still didn't move.    

    

"I'm registering." "No," I said.    

    

"Oh." Qiu Tong turned around and looked at me.    

    

"Yes."    

    

"What is it? You're interested again? " Qiu Tong looked at me. "Didn't you say you didn't want to take the exam?"    

    

I didn't say anything.    

    

"What is it? The registration requirement has been met? You have the qualifications to register? " Qiu Tong's voice carried a little drunkenness and a little questioning tone.    

    

I looked at Qiu Tong. I opened my mouth to speak, but then stopped.    

    

"A fox's tail can't be hidden after all." Qiu Tong looked like she wanted to laugh but couldn't. She swayed and continued, "Yi Ke, answer me, which university did you graduate from?"    

    

"I graduated from Zhejiang University." I lowered my head, waiting for what I thought was Qiu Tong's storm.    

    

For a long time, nothing happened.    

    

I looked up at Qiu Tong. She was staring at me, and maybe because of her drink, she was looking at me fearlessly.    

    

"As expected. As I expected. "Sure enough, you're not a high school graduate." Qiu Tong said and suddenly snorted. She paused for a moment and said, "Boss Yi, your ability to hide things from the world is not bad. "If it wasn't for this exam, your little tail probably wouldn't have been exposed."    

    

I grinned and tried to laugh, but when I saw Qiu Tong's stern eyes staring at me, I didn't dare.    

    

"You must still be hiding a lot of things from me. This time, you were forced to reveal your real education. But, I know, this is only a small part of all your mysteries, you. You only exposed the tip of the iceberg. "    

    

Qiu Tong's head shook as she ran her hand through her hair before continuing to stare at me. "Respected Boss Yi, may I ask you why you are deliberately concealing your true education? It's a habit for you to lie all day. Would you like to tell the truth? I don't want to hear you squeeze your teeth out like a toothpaste. If, you, Yi Ke — treat me as a friend, then, I want to hear it. If you have never considered me as a friend, then you can say nothing at all. "    

    

Qiu Tong seemed to be trying to provoke me.    

    

I looked at Qiu Tong's increasingly serious expression, and listened to her voice, which seemed to have been puzzled for a long time and was in urgent need of outburst. My mind was in turmoil, and my heart was in turmoil.    

    

I know that once the fuse is ignited, it cannot be extinguished. As long as it starts to fall outwards, it is unable to hide all the secrets, and each of the links are tightly linked. As long as I say the first link, the smart Qiu Tong will immediately be able to figure out the next link and the connection will extend to even more.    

    

Could it be that on this cold winter night, I would be flayed by Qiu Tong without any skin? I want to stand naked in front of Qiu Tong and await her final judgment on me? I don't know why Qiu Tong took the initiative to interrogate me tonight. She doesn't like to pry into other people's secrets. Could it be that it's because she drank too much tonight? Could it be that she had already endured to the limit? Could it be that she had begun to suspect the feces of Guest, who was in the air far away from Qingdao?    

    

Thinking this way, my heart was filled with fear, and I hesitated.    

    

Seeing me standing still and not saying a word, Qiu Tong's bright eyes suddenly dimmed. Then, with rolling eyes, she coldly said, "Ladies and gentlemen, slow down, delay, and hesitate. "If you don't want to say it, don't force it. Let's go."    

    

Qiu Tong seemed to be provoking me again.    

    

With that, Qiu Tong turned around and walked down the stairs. She left very straightforwardly.    

    

Qiu Tong was leaving me, as if she would never come back.    

    

I felt a sudden, uncontrollable pain in my alcoholic heart.    

    

I suddenly shouted impulsively, "Qiu Tong." Stop right there! "    

    

Qiu Tong stopped and did not turn around.    

    

I finally made up my mind and slowly walked towards Qiu Tong.    

    

When I reached Qiu Tong's back, I finally managed to speak.    

    

"Not bad, my real education is undergraduate. I graduated from Jiangzhe University. The reason I'm hiding my degree is that I came to work for the company. In order to match the job I did when delivering newspapers, I don't want college students delivering newspapers to become news, and I don't want to embarrass Zhejiang University. So, when I filled out the form, I filled out the high school graduation form. And so, it has lasted until now. "    

    

"You think it's shameful to give a paper?" Qiu Tong turned and looked at me.    

    

"I don't think it's shameful, but outsiders might not think so." "No," I said.    

    

"From the Zhejiang University School of Economics, right?" Qiu Tong said again.    

    

I nodded. "Yeah, a marketing major."    

    

"No wonder …" Qiu Tong muttered to herself before continuing, "Why? to do the job of delivering newspapers. "    

    

Qiu Tong's tone was a little cautious, as though she was trying her best to avoid any provocative words.    

    

"Once, I had a business of my own, but unfortunately, I was unable to escape the storm of crisis, I went bankrupt. After the bankruptcy of the enterprise, my first love Dong Xue also disappeared, Dong Xue's first time leaving me happened at that time. As my career and love have gone bankrupt, leaving me discouraged, dejected, and depressed, I started to wander, from city to city, until all the money I had was spent, until I thought I wanted to live, I wanted to live, so I randomly found a job, and made a living out of it … "    

    

Qiu Tong's eyes were wide open, bright in the dark, and she was watching me intently.    

    

"Then. When you first came to Hsinghai, that was when you were wandering on the road. " Qiu Tong muttered.    

    

"Yes, that was after I wandered out for more than a month." I said, "I originally didn't plan to stay in Hsinghai. I originally wanted to earn enough money to eat before continuing to wander around, but, however, I did not leave in the end. In the end, I stayed behind, so …"    

    

"So you hide all your past, and you start your zero-start life as a worker."    

    

"Yes!" I don't want others to know about my past glory, and even more so, I don't want to tell others that I failed miserably. Thus, I chose to be extremely low-key. "    

    

"It's just that you didn't expect you to stay here for a long time. It's just that you didn't expect so many stories to happen here. It's just that you didn't expect that you would develop here."    

    

"Yes, I didn't. Hai Zhu, Dong Xue and Haifeng are actually aware of my past. It's just that, they didn't tell anyone else, so they might be able to understand my feelings. "    

    

"I understand that they must know about your past, but I have never asked them for any information about your past. Although I am confused, I will not ask anyone other than you. I would rather leave myself in such a state."    

    

"Perhaps I can now understand why you've been so quiet, so low-key and even so sad since you've arrived at the company," Wu said softly. I've always suspected that you weren't a simple person, a simple worker, as expected. You have been glorious before, but you have also failed before. "    

    

I was silent.    

    

"Dong Xue, Hai Zhu, Haifeng are all Ningzhou people, why is your hometown located in the Yunnan Tengchong?" Qiu Tong said again.    

    

"My parents went to Yunnan. My childhood and youth passed away in the Tengchong. " "No," I said.    

    

"Then they are now."    

    

"Back to the Ningzhou."    

    

"So the address on your identity card is Tengchong and you haven't been able to change it. However, after you graduated from university, you have been working on Ningzhou. "    

    

"Yes."    

    

"Several times you said that you would return to your hometown, and even brought clouds with you to your hometown. However, you didn't return to Yunnan, you returned to Ningzhou."    

    

"Yes."    

    

"So the clouds actually knew about it. However, no one said it out loud. " Qiu Tong's voice trembled slightly.    

    

"Yes."    

    

"You're deliberately hiding this from me."    

    

I didn't answer.
