Chapter 39: coveted
Original Translations: Crafted with Care, No Unauthorized Reposting Allowed.
Hanqi Wu listened to the sound of rain falling outside the car with his eyes closed, his fingers tapping rhythmically on the drums with the crackling sound.
Not long ago, Sen Pai's general manager called him to report on his work progress and ended up mentioning a particular project he was interested in, which was intercepted by Shi Xie's youngest son.
At this point, the weather changed with the naked eye, the moment before the clear sky, the moment after suddenly dark clouds, the middle of the excess of only a few seconds.
From a meteorological point of view, this does not conform to common sense, but rather resembles the anomalies described in ancient plays, such as... snow in June.
Of course, the expression "intercept" in the general manager's mouth is not standardized, because it is always the Sen Pai who are like hungry wolves grabbing other people's territory, whatever they see, no matter what comes first, it is their Sen Pai.
This time, on the contrary, someone else was the first one to get the project, how can we feel good about not getting a promising project in the future at a low price. The general manager felt that Xiang Qiu was a programmer who was stupid and did not know what it meant to maximize profit.
The most unwilling thing is to lose to a dude who is not in business but just playing for fun.
"Dong Wu, this APP video looks ordinary, but if it works well, with a little renovation and upgrading, it will have an impact on the whole market." The more the general manager thought about it, the more he felt that he had missed a golden egg. Hanqi Wu as the chairman of the board, more is to control the overall strategic planning and direction of the company, such a small project will not care, but the general manager who specializes in this area of deployment for many years is able to see the potential of Fun different.
"Since the other party has chosen Jing Rong to take a personal stake, it means that the terms you offered are not enough to attract him." Hanqi Wu's elegant tone had a touch of moving and bone-chilling sharpness, "You should ask yourself why you can't get it, instead of complaining to me about how...incompetent you are."
"Wu, Dong Wu ." The other party then remembered who they were talking to.
"Go back and review properly, I don't want something like this to happen again." Hanqi Wu glanced at the suddenly changing weather.
That's what led to the phone call just now.
On his way to the airport, he had to pass through the main city, and the main building of Shi Xie was located in the most lively Cbd shopping district. He had planned to visit Shi Xie before he left, as he could just turn a corner and pass by.
Hanqi Wu has the habit of being well-mannered by the older generation, otherwise it would not be possible to have praise for Wu's style everywhere.
Of course, it is also by the way to see the impression of the boring and cowardly little guy, now a huge change.
Jing Rong is impressive to hear about this acquisition.
A familiar figure was seen in the rain that kept falling on the glass.
Hanqi Wu opened his phone and pulled up the tracking map, and the little red dot on the map was indeed nearby.
It seems to be myself, the end of the rut?
Soon Jing Rong also came out and the two of them were talking and laughing.
There was nothing ambiguous during the period, but the body language silently conveyed that the two had a harmonious relationship, but I did not expect that these two eight poles would know each other.
"Drive up." Hanqi Wu instructed the driver.
Jing Rong and Xi Gu were anxious when a sudden voice completely broke up the seemingly unspoken atmosphere between them.
Hanqi Wu, sitting in the car, looks at the two men staring at each other in the rain, almost simultaneously.
When Xi Gu saw Hanqi Wu's face, his pupils shrank and he slowly took a half step back.
In fact, Hanqi Wu had been a big help to him, and his demeanor was on point.
He also wondered if he had wronged a good man, but there were so many previous experiences that he had an animal instinct to be wary of Hanqi Wu.
Hearing Hanqi Wu affectionately and blandly shouting " Jing Xiao ", apparently acquaintance, Xi Gu eyelids jumped hard.
For a moment, he looked at Jing Rong's eyes for a moment of doubt. After experiencing one incident after another, he didn't dare to take any more risks, he really had palpitations for this group of powerful bigwigs.
But this is Jing Rong ah, after the trance, Xi Gu still did not move.
Jing Rong didn't notice Xi Gu's steps, but simply walked forward, looking like he was trying to get closer to Hanqi Wu, but in reality, he was trying to block Xi Gu's view of Xi Gu.
"Uncle Qi, you wouldn't be sent by Uncle Xie to supervise me, would you?" Jing Rong joked that Uncle Xie was Jing Rong's name for Zhanhong Xie, who was following the original owner's way of calling his stepfather.
Hanqi Wu, as if he did not see Jing Rong's small movements, said: "Do you think I am idle? I was passing by the airport, and I just caught a little liar. You, on the other hand, are deceiving your elders at a young age, who gave you that bad habit."
Jing Rong asked, pretending to be innocent, "Lying, where?"
"Very busy, too busy to finish," Hanqi Wu paused and looked down at the umbrella Jing Rong was holding, "Forgot to bring the umbrella... Jing Xiao , you are sending uncle."
These are the original words of Jing Rong who refused to send the plane earlier.
"You've wronged me. I've just finished working and I was about to call you."
Jing Rong open-mindedness, this surface polite who will not.
In front of Hanqi Wu Jing Rong prefer to pretend to be stupid, too smart can not be good, waiting for the early focus on care?
Just like today, Hanqi Wu had his guard up, so how could he take down Fun?
In the original, Hanqi Wu is the biggest winner, both in terms of winning the heart of the protagonist and in his career.
Otherwise, what makes the five fish so reckless, because there is a good father.
And Jing Rong has reason to suspect that although the label is n*p, in the end, if there is a protagonist attack, it might be 6X or Five Fortunes Fish, with the halo of the whole world enveloping them. This father-son pair's luck is too strong. He intercepted those other future potential stocks encountered minor difficulties, but only met the Wu family, difficulties.
He was a cannon fodder, like he was hitting a stone with an egg.
Ah, hit on it, otherwise he and Ling Xie, and the whole Shi Xie do continue to go the old way of the original?
Impossible, not in this lifetime.
"Wu and Shi Xie have three more projects that they might want to work on next, and I can't see your sincerity right now. At a young age, you are so submissive. Are you like this, or is the whole Shi Xie family like this?" Hanqi Wu said at the end, the soft and elegant smile on her face gradually dissipated.
Jing Rong heart thumped, is it so serious.
It's just that I don't want to play with you, an old man, and a little panic has such bad consequences, are you joking or are you serious?
Perhaps in Hanqi Wu's eyes he lied or second, but the lie was punctured on the spot, is not to give him Hanqi Wu face.
Xi Gu looked at the person standing in front of him, as if he was covering for him.
Tall, slender body with a broad back, not particularly strong, but in this rainy day, gave him an unparalleled sense of security.
Even for a moment, he should not have doubted Jing Rong.
"Uncle Qi, it's not like I did it on purpose, I was really busy just now, my brother can testify to that. So is it still too late to make up for it by sending you to the airport now?" Jing Rong smiled cheekily and looked at Hanqi Wu's cold face without fear, "Give me a chance to make up for my mistake."
Jing Rong , develop indecently, don't make waves.
It seems to be a sign of weakness, but if you listen carefully, you will find that the whole rhythm of speech is actually in Jing Rong's hands.
Hanqi Wu looked at Jing Rong, did not answer, directly opened the door and sat down inside.
The meaning is clear, give you a chance not to be.
Jing Rong turned to the always quiet person and said, "You go home first and wait for me."
Home ......
Xi Gu's eyes shook slightly, and suddenly he pulled the corner of Jing Rong's coat.
If it were himself, he would have avoided Hanqi Wu.
But Xi Gu is not comfortable leaving Jing Rong alone with his partner.
If you want to go, go together.
Especially, if we leave aside the previous years of crossover. If you look closely, Hanqi Wu does not look old at all. The company is also a handsome mess, with a gentle and elegant bookish temperament, those young people who are not yet dry which can have his charm that has been precipitated by the years.
To leave such a person alone with Jing Rong?
Xi Gu inexplicably has an indescribable tension and vigilance, as well as a faint hostility.
He couldn't tell what he was thinking, only that he would rather go along than be left behind by Jing Rong.
There was that feathery pulling force again, soft each time, but it seemed to cast a stone in the lake of the heart.
Jing Rong wanted Hanqi Wu to not find Xi Gu, but this pull, Hanqi Wu has seen the person behind him: "Your friend?"
"Well, he's a bit more recognizable, so I'll let him go back first."
Xi Gu is stubbornly pulling Jing Rong, silent like a little mute.
Jing Rong is a little helpless to this little dummy who has no sense of crisis, do you know what is in the car now, what kind of wolf.
Xi Gu's clear eyes, looking at Jing Rong, seemed to say he knew.
Hanqi Wu looked at Xi Gu like he was watching a play, and didn't know if he recognized him or not, and laughed: "Looks like your friend is quite clingy, come up together."
Xi Gu came to Jing Rong's ear and whispered, "Let's go back together."
Jing Rong covered his earlobe which was blown by the heat, his heart was a little hot, but he didn't know where the heat came from.
The interior of Hanqi Wu's car is spacious, and even with three people in the back seat, it doesn't seem particularly crowded.
Jing Rong took a look at the simple and plain interior, and then at the window glass, which outsiders would certainly not know are made of bulletproof material.
The mastery of high-tech talent Wu, and the state have cooperation projects, to the ancient saying is the royal business, Confucian business, his car special a little normal.
The rain outside is getting heavier and heavier, as if isolating the entire outside world, Jing Rong sits in the middle of the original invisible cp.
Hanqi Wu talked with Jing Rong about the companies he had recently acquired and acquired shares in, as if forgetting the conflict earlier, and not only guided Jing Rong's recent work, but also talked about some corporate weaknesses that Jing Rong would be exposed to, as well as the weaknesses of a few senior executives.
This kind of inside information, not Hanqi Wu personally contacted, simply can not get.
Jing Rong is a person who can vaguely feel the other person's regard for him or her, and this regard contains the meaning of appreciation and cultivation.
From the beginning to the end, he didn't know anything about business, and Xi Gu could feel his own insignificance.
Hanqi Wu also seems not to notice him as a transparent person.
Jing Rong was concerned about the water stains on Xi Gu's body, and when the driver was waiting for the red building light, he asked for a towel to give to Xi Gu.
Hanqi Wu seemed to notice the outsider: "Your friend is really well wrapped up."
When they got to the car, Xi Gu did not take off his disguise and kept his head down, so he could not see his face.
Hanqi Wu's substantial gaze swept Xi Gu around, smiling, "Which family's son is it?"
"It's not from any family, it's a senior at my school." Jing Rong chooses to tell part of the truth.
"Does your brother know?"
"Why do I need to let big brother know when I make friends."
"Jing Xiao , you are the youngest son of the Xie family. For most people, this identity is like a piece of the most delicious cake, who would love to jump up and sting a bite. The human heart is the most difficult to see through, understand." The company's main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to its customers.
The whole passage, without any excessive rhetoric, is not even addressed to Xi Gu.
But Xi Gu's body is cold, and this coldness is from the bottom of the feet, straight to the sky.
It's not cold in the car, Jing Rong is right next to him.
But he still shivered slightly, Xi Gu closed his eyes.
He knew that the other party was alluding to the fact that he was not worthy.
It also seems to vaguely accuse that he approached Jing Rong for impure purposes, the pair of elegant eyes seem to be able to see through everything.
Xi Gu wanted to retort, but didn't have the strength to do so.
He was indeed impure, and it was he who kept Jing Rong during the rut.
And again, the second personality is right, there are some things that are what his heart desires but does not have the courage to do.
Xi Gu slowly clenched his hand into a fist and did not say a word.
Suddenly, a pair of warm, dry hands suddenly covered his hands, as if in a silent comfort.
Slowly transfer your heat to him.
[This old guy, what kind of bullshit is he talking about, I don't have eyes that won't see for themselves].
Xi Gu snapped open his eyes, the grass swaying at the bottom of his heart, as if to break the ice.
Jing Rong clenched the cold hand like ice, not to give the kind of rejection, just out of heat and rain, Omega's physique is mostly delicate, he now wants to let Xi Gu go back and continue to eat and drink like a little piglet like the first few days, now this is what's broken.
Jing Rong smiled and said to Hanqi Wu, "You don't know, the senior didn't even talk to me at first, but only after I pestered him did he want to talk to me. I've been able to get close to him, so don't scare him away."
Xi Gu : "......" said it like it was true, almost believed it.
Hanqi Wu was a little surprised: "Oh?"
Jing Rong said seriously, "Senior is very good, serious and responsible, never shouting hard and tired, is a person I admire. If he really wants to bite me, I can't be happy enough."
Xi Gu : "......" you come less, I am poison.
Jing Rong jokes, but his tone is firm.
Hanqi Wu looked at the two men holding hands, but did not bring up the subject again.
"Uncle didn't say that your senior is not good, just that you should watch out for the people around you." Hanqi Wu laughed, "I can't take care of your young people's affairs, it's your father who asked uncle to talk to you. Look, it's really too annoying."
Zhanhong Xie did mention asking Hanqi Wu to discipline his rebellious stepson, but Hanqi Wu seemed to be just taking care of the younger generation.
Next, there was no more beside the point talk.
Hanqi Wu chatted with Jing Rong about his time in Shangjing.
Hanqi Wu's eyebrows raised when he heard the voice on the other end of a phone call he received in the middle of the call.
Jicheng Xie was still in detention and had to bribe a police officer to call Hanqi Wu.
"Uncle Wu, just fish me out. The Xie family doesn't want to care about me, I can't contact the Ji family, I don't know if the connection was cut off by Ling Xie, that bastard, he's not my big brother! Sure enough never recognized me as a brother, I don't want to stay in a place like this."
"There are not many days left, bear with me."
Jing Rong hadn't realized that he had been holding onto Xi Gu, but now he felt Hanqi Wu's tone was different and wanted to listen carefully to the voice on the other end of the line.
But the Wu family is a leading company making electronic products, as the chairman of the board with a cell phone how can be so easy to hear the sound.
Xi Gu's eyes did not look at Hanqi Wu, but focused on listening to the heart, which is one of the reasons why he got on the car, he wanted to be sure of his previous doubts.
Randomly to the people in the nearby vehicles, randomly to Jing Rong, randomly to the driver, but only missing Hanqi Wu's.
He was finally able to affirm that Hanqi Wu was a man without a heart.
The sound of the rain completely drowned out the call for help on the other end of the line.
Hanqi Wu simply said, and hung up the phone, completely ignoring the call for help on the other end.
Jing Rong and I chatted with each other, and the stiff and cold atmosphere dissipated and eased up again.
When the car arrived at the airport terminal, a young man wearing a trench coat and sunglasses saw Hanqi Wu's car at first glance and walked over quickly at Exit 12 on the second floor.
The youth gestured to the driver, took the initiative to open the trunk of the vehicle and offered to help raise the suitcase.
Hanqi Wu suddenly turned his head to Xi Gu as he got out of the car.
Xi Gu couldn't take away his wary, slightly hostile gaze.
Hanqi Wu was a bit surprised, as if he saw a young leopard whose territory had been violated, warning himself not to go near the prey he had his eye on.
Does Jing Rong know that the "senior" he wants to protect has actually been coveting him?
"Uncle." The youth opened the door voluntarily and waited outside the vehicle with an umbrella for Hanqi Wu.
Hanqi Wu withdrew his gaze and looked at the youth, "What brings you here."
"How can I not come and see you off when you are leaving?"
With a smile, the young man walks towards Hanqi Wu with the competence of a business elite and the exoticism of a long-time resident of Europe.
Hanqi Wu gently hugged the taller youth: "More filial than the little fish, this bastard boy does not know what he is busy with these days."
"Speaking of little fish, he asked me the other day what I thought of homosexuality and how to pursue people. Brother-in-law, you see he won't ......"
Hanqi Wu frowned in disgust, the circle of the younger generation, indeed there are a few mixed up on this kind of thing want a taste, afraid that they bring down their own boy. He expects a lot from his son, although it is a free-range, but free-range does not mean casually raised: "You first watch him, do not make things. Really like to get him a few A send, the freshness will pass."
"Okay, don't worry uncle."
"You're in, just watch him a little more, and, introduce a person to you, take care of each other," looked at the two people in the car who had not yet come out, shouted, " Jing Xiao ."
Jing Rong, who was in the car, was about to get out of the car, when Jing Rong suddenly realized that he had been holding Xi Gu's hand.
"Sorry, make sure to remind me next time." His mind had been on defense against Hanqi Wu and he gave it a miss.
Xi Gu shook his head, his cheeks a little hot.
Jing Rong reminded him, "You can't be too nice you know, you'll be bullied by some A who gets ahead of himself, like me, I should have just slapped my hand away hard and then warned me not to touch you."
The atmosphere outside is still so tense, but Xi Gu almost laughs when he listens, he especially likes Jing Rong such a serious temperament.
Holding back a laugh, he said, "Hmm." You're not someone else.
Xi Gu always felt that Hanqi Wu looked at him a bit oddly when he got out of the car just now.
Xi Gu just followed his heart as he straightened Jing Rong's messed up shirt collar, then brushed his own fingers over the spot where Hanqi Wu had touched his hair earlier, as if he was covering something.
Jing Rong did not notice Xi Gu's small movements, the two just out of the car, Xi Gu eyes swept past, suddenly saw the tall young man's trench coat pocket rose pattern pen, he once received the exact same one, and then he threw it into the trash.
The most terrible thing is that the next day, the rose fountain pen reappeared on the dressing table of the crew.
He threw it away once again and it reappeared on the third day, like a shadow.
Finally, we found...
Xi Gu's eyes flashed with fear and an unrestrained resentment. The collapse of his psychological defenses on the rooftop at that time was a memory he could never forget in his life.
He had long guessed that those who could woo people with that much money must be from distinguished families, and they were right.
When Jing Rong looked over, Xi Gu immediately curbed the intense hatred in his eyes.
The face that was slightly flushed was instantly white.
Jing Rong keeps an eye on Xi Gu, notices his stiffness, and his eyes indicate what is wrong with him.
Xi Gu came over and didn't notice that the two were too close together.
Jing Rong felt Xi Gu's soft porcelain white arms leaning on him, and he knew that Xi Gu was not conscious at all, but just trusted himself too much.
He always felt that Xi Gu didn't treat him as an Alpha and was a bit angry about what was going on.
He must go back and tell Xi Gu sternly, don't trust his self-control, sooner or later it will fall apart, really.
Later, Xi Gu said something that made Jing Rong instantly dispel other thoughts.
Xi Gu "That's him."
Jing Rong : "?"
Xi Gu : "Rose."
Cryptic coded words, the two men exchanged glances as if they both knew what was going on.
Rose.
Jing Rong instantly thought of a certain scene, the sun's prickly roses, too impressed.
Look up at the young man laughing with Hanqi Wu.
That mysterious dead pervert from 9999 Rose?
Really, not a family, not into the family.
As a mature pervert, he is a very confident man.
It should not be known by now that he has been found out.
The enemy is in the light, I am in the dark.
Well, there is drama.
