ログインThree years later.
The sun was shining, and Shanghai City was very bright. The 68-story Bo Family Building soars into the sky, like a landmark, standing in the most prominent prime location in downtown Shanghai. Elaine Qin hugged a stack of documents from the meeting room, Assistant An Ran and secretary James immediately held their breath, wanting to push away the magazine in front of them but it was too late. “Director… Director Qin.” An Ran glanced at him, then quickly lowered her head. Elaine put down the document she was holding and glanced at the magazine cover. The man on the cover was as beautiful as three years ago, the original beautiful facial features had become more mature and sexy. Dave was wearing a light blue shirt, his sleeves rolled up, he was hugging the woman beside him. He laughed mercilessly, as if he didn't remember that he was married. The woman beside Dave was the newest artist in the film industry owned by the Bo family. This woman had a tall and curvy body. It couldn't be said how beautiful she was, but it could be seen that there was a shadow of Jenny in her memory. Magazine title: Cindy Tang lives in Bay Toon with Dave, Dave's woman increases by one. "Cindy, right? The basics are still okay, but she's too fat." Elaine said in a calm tone, "Tell her agency, tell her to lose 10 kg, otherwise our marketing department won't use her." An Ran and James were both stunned. They thought she was going to cry, but she acted like this had nothing to do with her at all. Not only that, but it also indirectly gave back to Cindy. Cindy is the type of actress who has a curvy body, but her weight will not exceed 50kg. If she weighs 40kg with her height of 170cm, how thin will she be? If it can't be thin, the marketing department won't wear it. What's the difference between this and not wanting to wear it? As everyone knows, the artists in the Bo family company want to become famous and get to the top position, they must please the public relations department or please the marketing department first. The director of the public relations department and director Qin are university classmates. If the marketing department does not promote, the public relations department certainly has a way to make it sink into the sea. "What's wrong? Didn't you hear what I said?" Elaine knocked on the table when she saw that the two of them hadn't moved since earlier. An Ran was a little worried. She lowered her voice. “Director Qin, are you okay?” Elaine's face was stunned. Does he feel anything? If this had happened three years ago, he would probably have held a magazine and cried until he didn't eat for three days and nights. If it had happened ten years ago, he might have gone to a bar late at night to drink alcohol until he got drunk. But now, he is fine. No matter how deep a feeling is, it will surely be eroded by time. Moreover, in the past three years, Dave had only given him endless despair and hope. "I'm fine." Elaine straightened her waist and smiled more clearly. "You guys, Luoshenwan Beach is about to open, that Director Bo must be present and show his face, the headlines of the day, how to explain the media, quickly coordinate with the public relations department. Don't let the big day be busy and affect the opening." An Ran looked surprised. “Director Qin means that tomorrow’s opening ceremony will be held as usual?” Elaine left two words without hesitation. "As usual." He walked two steps forward, then stopped again, and smiled again. "If you can, call Cindy too, I hope the effect of the Luoshenwan event will be greater." "Okay, I'll arrange it." An Ran knew that Elaine was a person who always followed her words, she had to immediately pass down her orders. She immediately took the speech in her hand and walked quickly to the general manager's office on the 68th floor. "Director Bo, this is the speech that the marketing department just sent. The marketing department said that tomorrow's opening ceremony, you will participate as usual, no need to avoid the media." Secretary Elsa then handed over the document in her hand. The big hand stretched out and received the document. The leather watch on the wrist and the raised ribs on the back of his hand complemented each other. Dave squinted at the document, his usually calm eyes had a touch of darkness. "Elaine didn't see the morning magazine today?" "A...there is" Elsa gritted her teeth. What reaction did he have? Dave turned the file over and asked casually. "Nobody reacted," Elsa replied depressedly. Everyone knows that their husband and wife relationship is neither hot nor cold, like people who don't know each other. Dave's gaze became thick, something was breaking inch by inch. "The marketing department also said, it is hoped that director Bo can always collaborate with Cindy. The momentum of the opening of the Shanghai ribbon, the bigger the better. Luoshen Beach is the largest area in the Eastern District, how much the company's performance this year, depends on the support of the event in Luoshen Beach. "Elsa saw that Dave did not speak, thinking that he accepted, so she continued to speak. "With Cindy together? Oh ..." In his cynical laughter, with ridicule, Dave's lips were divided into two thin blades. "The voice of the marketing department is Elaine's voice?" Elsa's face changed slightly, and she lowered her head and said, “That's what Director Qin said.” Director Qin? The tone of ridicule deepened, and the thin corner of Bo Yun's mouth said, "A small marketing director, you all call him Director Qin? Does everyone call him this?" "Yes...yes." Elsa stood with her legs numb. Dave's emotions rose, took a deep breath and whispered. "That woman really has abilities." Pregnant with someone else's child, she threatened her mother and easily married him, In the past three years, he even received appreciation from his father so that his father personally sent him to the Bo family company, from a small manager of the marketing department, step by step to the position of marketing director, even to entering the Bo family board of directors. Everyone knows that Elaine's family is in a low position but she is not inferior to the Bo family company which is known to be scary, besides, she also managed to lay a solid foundation in the workplace. Dave felt that this woman was too good at lying. Since forcing Jenny to leave him three years ago, he had planned step by step. Not only about marrying her, he also thought about taking everything from the Bo family. Dave also didn't understand what method he used until his strict father praised him. "Director Bo?" Elsa saw that he didn't seem to hear what she said and called Dave. Dave looked calm, not the slightest bit angry. "The opening ceremony is tomorrow, are you going? I remember you asked Mr. Gu to talk about a lot of things." "Go, of course go." Dave looked into Elsa's eyes, thinking she wouldn't go. "Do you want to see the fruits of your hard work on Luoshen Beach fall into someone else's pocket?" Elsa just kept quiet, as husband and wife she called them "someone else?" He didn’t dare to object, just nodded. “Yes, I will arrange it.”Dave walked out of the kitchen and grabbed his coat to head upstairs. He had taken only a few steps when Reece caught up to him, clutching the leg of Dave’s pants as he followed. “Dad, when will Mom come home? Do you know where she is? I haven’t seen her in two days.”Dave had no desire to answer. If he knew where Elaine was, he would have taken Reece to her long ago. Elaine was off somewhere partying, completely forgetting she even had a child. When she’d crashed into his car, she’d acted like such a noble, devoted mother. But now she was just abandoning Reece. She really was a master at pretending!“Papa, I want to see Mama. Can you take me to find her?” There was a hint of pleading in Reece’s voice.But Dave didn’t stop walking. “I don’t know. Don’t bother me!” He pulled his leg free from Reece’s grip and quickly entered his room, slamming the door shut firmly before the child could follow. Finally, he had some peace and quiet.Dave rarely came home this early. He lay down on his s
Dave lifted his lashes, his deep, unreadable eyes scanning Aunt Chen as he said, “Why? I pay you to work for me—are you refusing to make me dinner?”Aunt Chen sensed the coldness radiating from him and stammered, “No, no, it’s just that the little miss used up all the vegetables in the house tonight. If you’re willing to wait, I’ll go buy some right away!” She spoke nervously, knowing full well that Bay Toon was in the suburbs. Even a trip to the nearest supermarket would take over an hour.“Dad, even Mom said the food I made is delicious. Why won’t you eat it?”Dave was very tall, and the little boy, looking up, couldn’t see the man’s increasingly gloomy expression. Yet when Reece mentioned Elaine, a flash of anger sparked in Dave’s narrow, deep eyes. He didn’t answer the child, but instead fixed Aunt Chen with a look that made her feel she’d misunderstood something.Dave said coldly, “You want me to wait for you to buy vegetables now? Are you planning to serve me dinner or a midnigh
YeSe BarAfter the last ray of light faded, YeSe Bar remained unlit. Elaine finally sensed that something was wrong. YeSe was a bar—it was already night, yet there wasn’t even a sound coming from inside? If she hadn’t woken up that morning and seen that the bathroom was still decorated with YeSe’s branding, she would have thought that Cindy had taken her somewhere else while she was unconscious.Elaine had been locked inside YeSe for a day and a night. No matter how strong she was, how successful she was in business, or how much praise she had received, Elaine was still a woman. Her psychological defenses had crumbled under the weight of the pitch darkness and the hunger she felt.Would you like me to adjust the tone of the translation to be more formal or more literary, depending on your needs?She tried to stand up from the floor again, slamming her body against the toilet door with all her might. “Open the door! Let me out! I need to… pick up my daughter from school!” Elaine’s eye
The blue veins on Dave’s forehead bulged twice. He then got out of the car, walked around to the driver’s side, and said in an angry tone, “Get in the car!” Reece wiped the tears from his face and quickly climbed into the vehicle. Once Dave saw that Reece was seated properly, he slammed the car door shut, walked back around to the driver’s seat, and got in. He had just started the engine when Reece asked in a small voice, “Daddy, where are we going? Aren’t we supposed to wait for Mommy?”Dave frowned. Wait for Elaine? She had been having such a good time that she’d forgotten herself, and there had been no word from her at all until now. Leaving Reece here waiting for Elaine—who knew how long they’d have to wait for her? Besides, was it even right for Reece to be waiting for her here? Dave said nothing, driving in silence all the way to Bay Toon.He got out of the car alone, his long legs striding toward the villa. By the time Reece stepped out, Dave was already out of sight. Having be
Through the car’s thick glass, Dave could still hear Reece’s voice.“Papa, will you come see me again?”Reece was so innocent, standing there with a pale face, the wound on her head looking worse than before. Perhaps because she’d kept touching it in the car earlier, it had grown more severe. The sight of her made Dave’s pupils contract in surprise. But he didn’t say a word, immediately stepping on the gas pedal.“Dad?”Reece’s figure seemed to shrink as the car pulled away. Suddenly, Dave thought that Elaine’s apartment had no fence and was located right on the edge of the highway. A vivid image flashed through his mind—Reece running toward his car and getting hit by a vehicle.He licked the corner of his lips and said to William, “You’re close with Olivia Lu, right?”This made William think Dave was about to scold him again about the stolen underwear incident. “Why?”“Call her and tell her Elaine’s daughter is outside her apartment!”William laughed at this. “Dave, you told me not t
Now this childish question—why did it feel, upon hearing it, as if he was being accused of some heinous crime! Dave freed one hand, loosening the tie around his shirt collar, then snapped his eagle-like gaze toward William. His voice was like an ancient, blackened weapon—cold and hard. “Are you sure you want me to answer?”Reece heard this and tugged at William’s sleeve, asking in a small voice, “Uncle, am I really an illegitimate child? Can you tell me what that means?”The little girl’s eyes grew redder, glistening with mist, but she still refused to let the tears fall. “I looked it up in the dictionary. It says an illegitimate child means… means Reece isn’t his father and mother’s child.” Her voice began to choke, weak yet stubborn. “But I asked Mom once, and she said I’m not an illegitimate child!”Reece’s words were simply a child speaking the truth, but they made William’s heart ache a little. No matter how uneasy he felt, she wasn’t his child, so he shouldn’t be the one hurt—y
