Chapter 59: Tail!
Finally managed to coax Wang Xue into a good mood, but things didn't end there. The next day, Zhang Ziheng went to work as usual, but when he arrived at the company, he found that everyone was staring at him with strange eyes, and it seemed like they were secretly discussing something. With confusion, Zhang Ziheng sat down at his desk and inexplicably opened his computer.
At this time, Ziwen walked over and seriously said to Zhang Ziheng: "Ziheng, I didn't expect you to hide so deeply, not even telling me."
Zhang Ziheng furrowed his brow and looked at her, saying: "What's wrong, Ziwen sister? What are you talking about? I don't understand."
"Hey, it's come to this point, what are you still pretending for? Everyone in the company already knows, and that's not all, I think it won't be long before almost everyone in B city will know too." Ziwen said.
"What's going on? Ziwen sister, speak clearly, what is it exactly?" Zhang Ziheng was getting more and more confused.
Ziwen was taken aback for a moment, saying: "How come, at this time you still don't admit it? Alright, take a look, what do you say about this?" As she spoke, Ziwen tossed Zhang Ziheng a copy of today's morning newspaper.
Zhang Ziheng took a look and saw that it was written: China's famous young pianist held a concert at the Workers' Stadium yesterday, and in the concert, a mysterious boyfriend appeared in the audience, attracting the attention of many spectators. Various media speculated about the identity of the mysterious man.
Upon seeing this, Zhang Ziheng also found a photo of himself on the newspaper from that time's concert, where Yu Jie was playing the piano piece, and the white light pillar appeared in the audience seats.
"How...how can this be? How can they write such nonsense?" Zhang Ziheng frowned and said.
Ziwen smiled and said, "It's already this late, and you're still saying that someone is writing nonsense. Do you dare say that the person above isn't you? And at that time, there were so many people around, why did the lamp shine on you instead of others?"
Zhang Ziheng finally understood why the people in the company looked at him with that kind of gaze, and he sighed. Putting down the newspaper, Zhang Ziheng said: "Sister Ziwen, actually things are not what you think they are. I've already broken up with Yu Jie, and I told you before, we didn't get back together, really."
Ziwen's face was shocked as she stared at him, saying: "What did you say? You said that Bai Yujie is your ex-girlfriend? My god, I thought it was just a coincidence in names, but it turns out to be the same person! Ziheng, you're really something, your girlfriend has become an international celebrity!"
"Oh, Ziwen, how many times do I have to tell you before you believe me? Yu Jie and I have already broken up, we're not boyfriend and girlfriend anymore. I went to her concert just because of our old classmate relationship, what she did was her own business, I had no idea about it at all, so it's not like what you think, do you understand?" Zhang Ziheng said excitedly.
Ziwen was startled, staring blankly at him, then said: "What's wrong with you, Ziheng? Are you okay? Don't get agitated, I'm just joking with you, I believe in you, I really do."
Zhang Ziheng sighed and shook his head helplessly, saying: "It's okay, sorry, Ziwen sister, I lost control a bit earlier and scared you, sorry about that."
"It's okay, it's okay, I don't mind. But you, calm down, I really didn't mean to earlier." Ziwen shook her head and said.
Zhang Ziheng nodded and said: "Alright, Sister Ziwen, let me be alone for a while."
Ziwen looked at him for a moment, nodded, and then turned to leave. Zhang Ziheng opened his work software and started working. As usual, he also hung up QQ, but unlike before, usually no one would find him online at this time, but today, there were constantly flashing icons on QQ. Zhang Ziheng clicked open one by one, most of them were former classmates asking about last night's incident. Seeing this made Zhang Ziheng feel annoyed, so he simply shut down QQ.
Zhang Ziheng, who was feeling anxious and distracted, opened the webpage to browse the news online and relieve his mood. However, all the headlines on every website were about last night's concert, and almost every piece of news had a photo of him. Seeing this, Zhang Ziheng really couldn't take it anymore, one by one closing the webpages, getting up and walking to the bathroom, taking out cigarettes and starting to smoke.
How did things become like this? Zhang Ziheng couldn't react in time and even found it hard to accept. At that moment, two people came in to use the restroom, one of whom said: "Hey, you know this guy, sometimes when he's on a roll, it's just different. That Zhang Ziheng not only got our company's big sister to fall for him, but also hooked up with a big star, how can you reason with that?"
"Hey, what's it to you if someone else is lucky? If you're capable, go get one for yourself! In my opinion, he's just born to live off others. We can't compare to him." Another person said.
"Haha, that makes sense. Ah, you've brought up this matter, I wonder if the young mistress will divorce him in a fit of anger?" The person continued to say.
"Hehe, can't say for sure, but if it's really like that, then you'll have a chance, right?"
"Ah, maybe yeah." The two of them finished using the restroom and left smiling.
At this time, Zhang Ziheng was hiding inside, feeling uncomfortable in his heart. He just didn't understand why everyone misunderstood him? Thinking of this, Zhang Ziheng suddenly thought of someone, he hastily extinguished the cigarette butt and walked out of the bathroom.
Zhang Ziheng walked quickly to Director Xu's office. At this time, Director Xu was working and saw Zhang Ziheng slightly stunned, then smiled: "Ziheng, something's up?"
Zhang Ziheng closed the door and walked forward, saying: "Director Xu, did you also know?"
Xu Zong was taken aback for a moment and said: "What? What do you know? Oh, are you talking about the newspaper? Hehe, I saw it."
"Director Xu, don't you believe what's written in the newspaper?" Zhang Ziheng asked.
"I don't believe it, what can I do? The key is whether others believe it or not. Zi Heng, I think you must have been stimulated to come find me, right? Hehe, young people are indeed young people, hearing a few words of gossip and can't take it, how will you mix in this society in the future?" Xu Zong laughed.
"But... but that's not what happened. Yes, Yu Jie was my girlfriend before, but we've already broken up. Yesterday night's incident was all her doing, it had nothing to do with me. Why is everyone looking at me like that?" Zhang Zi Heng furrowed his brow and said.
Xu Zong smiled and shook his head, saying: "Ziheng, how others see you is not important, the key is how you see yourself. Whether something has happened or not, you are the clearest about it, why bother with other people's opinions? I know you're uncomfortable in your heart now, but it will be fine after a long time."
"Then... Director Xu, do you believe what I just said?"
"Of course I believe you, after all, you're my employee. Alright, don't think too much about it, hurry up and go to work." Xu said with a smile.
When Zhang Ziheng heard Director Xu say "believe in yourself", he felt much better, and didn't know why, but as soon as he saw Director Xu's smiling face, all his worries disappeared. Zhang Ziheng smiled slightly and said: "Director Xu, thank you, thank you for believing in me."
Xu smiled slightly, and at this moment, her phone rang. She took it out to look at it, then answered the call. "Hello? Yeah, I'm working. Tonight? Hmm... okay, where is it? What time? Alright, bye."
Looking at the expression on Xu's face, Zhang Ziheng felt a bit strange. "Xu, who was that just now?"
"Oh, no one, just a friend, asked me out for drinks at a bar tonight." said Xu.
"Ah, is it that guy we had dinner with last time?" Zhang Ziheng asked.
Xu smiled slightly and said: "You should go out to work now, Zi Heng."
"Uh...alright, President Xu, I'm leaving." Zhang Ziheng nodded and left the office. But his mind kept thinking about the phone call just now.
The day passed quickly, and when it was time to get off work, Zhang Ziheng deliberately stayed late for a while. He waited until Xu came out of the office before following him out. Zhang Ziheng followed Xu all the way to the bottom of the company building, where he saw a black Mercedes-Benz sedan waiting below. A man stood beside the car, who was the same person Zhang Ziheng had seen at the restaurant that day. Xu walked over and said a few words to the man, then the two of them got in the car and left.
Zhang Ziheng hastily hailed a taxi and followed him, he didn't know why he was doing this, maybe it was because he wasn't at ease, he especially wanted to follow him and take a look.
Twenty minutes later, Zhang Ziheng followed them to a bar. Mr. Xu and the man found a seat, ordered a bottle of red wine, and started drinking. Zhang Ziheng sat down in a place not far from them, ordered a cup of green tea, and watched them while sipping his drink.
Watching the two of them drinking and chatting, Zhang Ziheng felt particularly uncomfortable in his heart. In fact, he knew that he still liked President Xu, although he had made up his mind to treat Wang Xue well, but he just couldn't forget President Xu.
After an unknown period of time, Director Xu got up and went to the restroom. Zhang Ziheng also felt that what he was doing was useless, some things would happen if they were meant to be born, and he couldn't stop them anyway. Thinking of this, Zhang Ziheng raised his hand to call the waiter to settle the bill.
Just then, Zhang Ziheng saw the man take out a small bottle from his suit pocket, and then took out a small pill from the small bottle and put it into Xu's wine glass. Then he hurriedly put the small bottle away and deliberately looked around, as if afraid that others would notice him.
Zhang Ziheng immediately felt something was off, what did that man want to do? Was he thinking of...
At this time, Director Xu returned after using the restroom and continued drinking and chatting with the man. However, not long after, Director Xu started to feel dizzy, her eyelids becoming heavier and heavier, and then everything went black as she fainted.
The man smiled slightly, beckoned the waiter to pay the bill, and then supported Xu Zong out of the bar. Zhang Ziheng didn't dare hesitate, hurriedly followed him out, hailed a taxi, and trailed behind them again.
