Gossip King - Chapter 1118
Chapter 1118 Xiaodan’s Eternal Pain
Two busy days, the next day I’m going to France.
It was after nine o’clock. Gaoleng was still busy in the office. She had to push off a few important meetings. It wasn’t as Jian Dan. She had to do some follow-up work. It was already very late. Yang Guanguan was still working in her office. The boss hadn’t left work yet. Naturally, she, Secretary, couldn’t get off work.
There were two new girls in the Secretary Division, and a young man was also working overtime with them.
“You guys should get off work first.” Jian Xiaodan’s voice came from the door. Secretary-General Jian Xiaodan spoke. The rest of them hesitated for a moment before nodding and packing their things. As soon as they left the office, the two secretaries who had just arrived heaved a sigh of relief.
“Oh my God, President Gao is really a workaholic. He won’t have to work overtime like this every day in the future, right?”
“He’s so handsome. I don’t have a boyfriend anyway. I’m fine working overtime every day.”
The two newcomers, Secretary, were chattering. Although they were tired, everyone knew that being able to reach the Secretary branch of the Starlight Group was one in ten thousand. This kind of position could only be found once in a blue moon. Working hard was the only way.
“It’s not like this every day.” Guanguan Yang is now an old senior. She comforts her softly, “President Gao often travels outside on business. Our job is actually very easy. President Jian is really a workaholic. I’ve been here for so long, but I haven’t seen President Jian get off work on time.”
As they spoke, they turned to look at Jian Xiaodan. She walked towards Gaoleng’s office with a big bag in her hand.
“President Jian and President Gao have a good relationship.” A Secretary said enviously as they entered the elevator together.
“Of course, President Gao trusts the person with the right arm.” Yang Guanguan’s words were filled with envy. She sighed, “I don’t have President Jian’s ability. She is a height that I will never reach.”
On one side, Yang Guanguan felt that Jian Xiaochan was a height that she would never reach, while on the other side, Jian Xiaochan felt that Su Su was a height that she would never reach.
One mountain was even taller than the other, and Jian Xiaodan, who was similarly busy now, walked to the sofa in his office with the packed food in his hand, “Have some supper. Uncle Zhao just delivered it.”
After Gaoleng Zhaozhi of Butler got up in Gao Clan, he did bring many conveniences to Gaoleng’s life. As long as he saw that Gaoleng or Jane Xiaodan did not return home on time, he would definitely ask his wife to prepare supper and deliver it personally. After a long time, people became much closer.
Now Gaoleng and the others call him Uncle Zhao and his wife Mama Zhao.
The hotel next door was rather luxurious. Their house provided food for their guests before 12 o’clock in the night. As long as you had money, they would cook the kitchen. In the past, Gaoleng used to call for a hotel to cook, but Uncle Zhao always said that the food outside was definitely not as clean as his home. He always took the subway to cross half of the imperial capital to deliver supper.
Uncle Zhao had probably bought the largest thermal insulation bucket in the supermarket. The quantity was enough.
Little porridge, small dishes, and cooked soup, together with a few small buns and dumplings that he had made, there were many varieties of them, and they were also well-nourished. Uncle Zhao and the others didn’t have children. They treated Gaoleng as their own son with extreme care.
“It’s good to have some porridge tonight.” Xiaodan picked up a bowl and took a sigh, “Ever since Uncle Zhao and Mama Zhao came to your house, I feel a little at home, you know?” When I was in high school, I went to my classmates’ house once. When we were in high school, we read for more than ten o’clock. Her mother cooked a bowl of noodles for her and laid two eggs. She cooked them for me too. I was so jealous that I had tears in my eyes. I was so jealous that I had relatives cooking food for you tonight. I really was so jealous. ”
There were no ripples in Xiaodan’s voice as he spoke. It was as if he was telling a story about someone else. Gao Leng, who was watching from the sidelines, felt bitter. It was just that the mother had given her daughter a bowl of noodles at night, which made Jane Xiaodan envious.
“Didn’t you live in your adoptive parents’ house when you were in high school?” Gaoleng asked.
“No, I lived on my own since I was very young.” Xiao Leng said indifferently, “I’ll live in primary school by myself.”
“Your adoptive parents didn’t bring you along?”
“After they adopted me, I became pregnant as an IVF baby and came out to live on my own.” “It’s all over. There’s nothing to talk about. Not everyone has a home,” Jian Xiaodan said casually.
Obviously, Jian Xiaodan was unwilling to talk in depth.
Gaoleng didn’t force it. This was Jane Xiaodan’s own business. She didn’t want to say it, so she didn’t ask. However, she felt a little bored in her heart. Gaoleng had always felt that based on his relationship with Jane Xiaodan, he should be able to tell her about his background. He should be someone Jane Xiaodan could trust.
But Jane Xiaodan didn’t want to talk about it with Gaoleng.
It seemed that she would always have an area that Gaoleng could not enter, which made Gaoleng somewhat frustrated.
“If you want to have a home, you just need to become one.” Gaoleng put down his chopsticks and looked at Jane Xiaodan. The more he couldn’t enter the area of Jane Xiaodan, the more distressed Gaoleng felt. He knew that the area that belonged to Jane Xiaodan’s childhood should be her most painful place.
“It’s very difficult for me to start a family.” Jane Xiaodan smiled bitterly and shook her head. “I’m not Xiaoleng.”
As soon as these words came out, her expression became a little nervous.
She was not Xiaoleng, only Xiaoleng could start a family with Gaoleng, and Little Single, who had feelings for Gaoleng, accidentally spilled the beans.
“Huh?” Speaking of Xiaoleng, Gaoleng was a little surprised.
“I… I mean…” Jane Xiaodan quickly calmed down. “I’m not as dependent on a man as Xiaoleng is. I shouldn’t be as dependent on another person as she is for the rest of my life.”
Although these words were worried that Gaoleng would discover her affection in a hurry, they were also Jane Xiaodan’s words in her heart. She really could not rely on one person like Xiaoleng did. Xiaoleng trusted and relied on Gaoleng unconditionally.
Gaoleng is here. The sky is here. This is Mu Xiaoleng.
Even though Mu Xiaoleng had experienced the arrest of his parents and the humiliation he suffered overseas, all of this was closely related to the corruption case reported by Gaoleng. However, Mu Xiaoleng was still filled with love for Gaoleng and did not doubt it at all. From her body to her soul, she loved this man deeply. Her eyes were so pure, pure as if they had never been hurt, as pure as a child’s.
Anything that was as pure as dirt in this world, anything that would hurt, would not stay on Mu Xiaoleng’s body at all.
Purity and Jian Dan were Gaoleng’s favourite places. This was something Jane Xiaoleng would never be able to do.
Jian Xiaoxiao, who had been abandoned, had a legacy of abandonment. She trusted someone for a long time;
Jian Xiaosu, who had been treated with kindness, was also left with the aftermath of the secular world. Her eyes were far less pure than Xiaoleng’s, revealing sharpness that she could not resist, sharpness that she could not protect herself from;
Jian Xiaoxiao, who had experienced that she could only rely on herself for everything, had also engraved the sequelae of asking for help but not being rescued. Even though she was the general manager of the grand Star Sheng magazine, she was also the secretary general of the Starlight Group, and was known as the most trusted partner of President Gao.
Future prospects are limitless.
However, even though Jian Xiaoxiao was dressed in international designer clothes, holding a meeting confidently and orderly, she still had a sense of inferiority in her heart.
I’m not gonna be able to keep up with Gaoleng…
This was a thought that often occurred to her. The unnoticed years of her childhood allowed her to rely on herself for everything and never ask for help from others.
The bitter years of the past had left deep traces on Jian Xiaodan’s body. These traces had penetrated into his bones and would never disappear.
Therefore, even though Jane Xiaodan was full of affection for Gaoleng, and even though she trusted Gaoleng so much, she was still unable to tell this man her miserable childhood. She could not pounce into his arms and cry like Xiaoleng.
She wasn’t wrong. She would never be Mu Xiaoleng. She wouldn’t be the kind of pure and Gaoleng girl that Jian Dan liked.
Jian Xiaodan was complicated. From the day she was abandoned, she was complicated.
She lowered her head, sighed quietly and smiled at Gaoleng with curved eyebrows. “I’m done. I’m going to be busy first.”
Apart from the fact that work allowed Jian Xiaodan to find herself, it seemed that nothing else could make her feel safe. It was Mu Xiaoleng, not Jian Xiaodan, who felt safe with love.
Even though she was smiling at this moment, her heart was filled with sadness. She needed to go to work to make herself feel safe.
“Go home early today. The plane leaves for France at eight or nine o’clock tomorrow evening.” Said Gaoleng. Jane Xiaodan stood up, nodded and walked to the door. Opening the door, she heard Gaoleng’s phone ring.
“Hello, Xiaoleng.” Jane Xiaodan turned around and closed the door. She stopped and looked at Gaoleng through the crack in the door. He smiled warmly and said to the phone, “You miss me? I miss you too. I’m going to France tomorrow. What do you like?”
She could not hear Mu Xiaoleng’s voice, but she also wanted to hear Xiao Leng’s cheerful voice.
Jane Xiaodan would not act coquettishly. At the very least, she had never acted coquettishly before. Every time Xiaoleng and Gaoleng acted coquettishly, Gaoleng would show a doting expression, just like now.
“So happy.” Jian Xiaodan smiled. She lowered her eyes and gently closed the door. She walked on the empty floor. The sound of her high heels was a little lonely, but after a few lonely steps, her footsteps became decisive again.
“They’re flying tomorrow night. There’s still a lot of things to deal with.” Jian Xiaodan stretched out her hand and stroked her hair. She pressed down on the elevator, revealing a professional expression on her face once again.
She feels safe by putting herself into her work.
Just like when she was in primary school, when she was studying, she would forget that she was in the cold winter, and her cotton shoes had already opened their mouths, causing her feet to bleed from frostbite, and only when she was studying would she forget this.
Forget cold, forget hunger, forget fear of the fat son next door bullying, forget classmates laughing at her no one wants, forget everything.
The next night, at eight or nine o’clock, Jane Xiaodan did not miss any work. She brought along a few assistants and a reporting team of five people with her. They followed behind Gaoleng and boarded the plane for France. Although Gaoleng said that she did not need to work this time and that the reporting was given to others, how could Jane Xiaodan not work?
Xiaodan couldn’t afford to be idle.
“France, we’re here.” Jane Xiaodan said to herself. She looked at the vast blue sky and then at Gaoleng, who was resting on the side, and her heart leapt with joy.
Um… We. Jane Xiaodan thought to herself, pursing her lips and secretly glancing at Gaoleng.
