i really like you

Xinghui's meeting arrangement was wrong, Tang and Zhang's assistant went to negotiate with them.

The parking lot was silent.

A crisp sound of "ding" pierced the airflow, Tang Yuan half-closed his eyes and took a long puff of cigarette, he looked at the person standing opposite him through the winding smoke.

His temperament has completely changed, and he can no longer find the gentleness and restraint of the past. Standing there is like a piece of ice that has been poisoned.

He has also changed to hide his true emotions. He used to be dressed casually, but now he is dressed in formal attire. He never leaves his cigarettes. He has increased his drinking capacity and is used to the smoky atmosphere at the dinner table.

For some reason, Tang Yuan remembered something.

That day when he had a car accident, this man came to see him in the ward and whispered something in his ear. At that time, he was very vague, but now he suddenly became clear like a ray of light being struck by lightning.

Tang Yuan took a few steps towards Zhang Shuran's position, he opened his mouth, and the cigarette dangling from his mouth flickered when he spoke, "You ordered the car chase."

Gave a tone of fact.

Zhang Shuran looked down at the person in front of him, the phone in his pocket rang, and he walked away to answer it with a cold and capable tone.

Tang Yuan took the opportunity to organize his thoughts, and when Zhang Shuran finished the call and came back, he was already calmer than before, with almost no emotion, as if he was talking about someone else, "Because you know that the person I have a crush on responded to me that night. I can't ask the answer, so you send someone to my car to see who the other party is."

Zhang Shuran neither admitted nor denied, but said lightly, "You remember that sentence, what about the others?"

others?What?Tang Yuan frowned.

Zhang Shuran didn't solve his doubts, but said mockingly, "Don't even think about Xinghui's cooperation and the monopoly right here, I am determined to win it."

Tang Yuan nodded when he heard what he said, and paraphrased what Li Yue said, "Indeed, the Zhang family has long had its own film and television company, which is very large in scale, and has more or less experience in film distribution and theater development. Contact, unlike my family, is completely expanding new business in that direction for the first time, and the winning rate is not high.”

Zhang Shuran didn't seem to expect that Tang Yuan would say such a thing. After a brief exploration, he also lit a cigarette, and skillfully exhaled a smoke ring, "You made a wrong choice."

"Whether it's right or wrong, it's my choice," Tang Yuan said coldly, "I will be responsible for my choice, and so will you."

Zhang Shuran sneered, "If you had chosen me back then, now Tang Corps..."

Tang Yuan interrupted him, "Your family has taken over."

Zhang Shuran quickly pushed Tang Yuan to the wall with one hand, pressed his shoulders and lowered his head, with monstrous anger burning in his eyes, sandwiched between the grievances that seemed to be humiliated, he roared repressedly, "You really think I want these so-called power and wealth?"

Tang Yuan pinched the cigarette away from his mouth, and patted a little ash on the suit in front of him, "Isn't it, is it important now?"

Zhang Shuran's breathing was rough and heavy, and he stared at the yearning person under his eyelids with resentment, his voice was surprisingly calm, "I grew up with you, and you never really understood me."

"Is it because I don't want to know you?" Tang Yuan retorted coldly, "It's because you don't want others to know you."

His emotions from the backlog at the end of the year to the next year exploded, "Zhang Shuran, what were you thinking when you forged the recording? Ah?"

"I tried many people on the recording, but no one could hear it. It's no different from a real person, but you can be an exception. I underestimated your feelings for him when you can tell the truth from the fake."

Zhang Shuran smiled slightly, but there was no smile in his eyes, his voice was as gentle as before, "Xiao Yuan, in the room that day, you kept testing me and lying to me, it's amazing."

Tang Yuan said, "I learned everything from you."

Zhang Shuran regretted, "I shouldn't have let you go that day."

These words completely enraged Tang Yuan, he kicked Zhang Shuran's leg with terrifying force.

Zhang Shuran staggered back a few steps.

Tang Yuan raised the hair on his forehead with his free hand, exposing the still obvious scar, "Every time I look in the mirror and see this scar, I always think of the scene of being hit by a car that night, and then I I would break out in a cold sweat with palpitations, and even have nightmares at night."

He lowered his hand and patted the leg that was injured before, "I can walk and run, and dancing is fine, but there is a psychological shadow. When dancing, the muscles in the leg will subconsciously spasm, become weak, and dare not exert force. , I was thinking... in this life, can I still have the life to overcome the psychological barrier and stand on the stage."

Zhang Shuran's eyes widened as if frightened, and he stood there in a daze.

"It's my own bad luck. Just after being hit by a car, my dad disappeared. The company is in chaos. I can't recover from my injuries. I can only stay in the company with my wounded body." Tang Yuan sucked hard He was laughing when he exhaled the smoke, "What happened later was worse. My good brother broke with me, and the stock market in the company plummeted. Fortunately, I held on."

Zhang Shuran's head drooped, he panted heavily, and a few strands of hair fell down on his forehead, covering his eyebrows and eyes, making him unable to see clearly.

While smoking a cigarette, Tang Yuan said, "I don't expect you to let me go, you have your position, I have mine, it's just a different way, for the sake of the past, let's be well."

Zhang Shuran strode forward, grabbed his arm, and said something abrupt in a hoarse voice, "Xiao Yuan, ten years have come."

Tang Yuan's breathing was not disturbed, nor was his heartbeat.

Obviously knowing.

Zhang Shuran raised his head abruptly, revealing a pair of scarlet eyes covered by hair, and stared fixedly at Tang Yuan for a while, his eyes were very strange, not sure if it was excitement, apprehension, nervousness, or something else.

"You knew already."

Tang Yuan stubbed out the cigarette, looked at Zhang Shuran expressionlessly, and said nothing.

Zhang Shuran's eyes flickered, "Xiao Chao told you?"

Tang Yuan, "No."

Zhang Shuran stared at him in silence for a long time, bent his back and patted the shoe prints on his knees, "I grew up with you, and after waiting for you for ten years, don't you have anything else to say?"

Tang Yuan pouted, what did you say?

If he knew what Zhang Shuran wanted, they didn't stand on the opposite side, and they were still brothers, then they would become awkward brothers, slightly better than Xiao Chao and A Lie, that is, better, anyway, they can't go back to the past.

Besides, there is no if.

Today, everything has changed.

Tang Yuan wanted to ask Zhang Shuran if he had done anything outrageous in the name of love, but after thinking about it, forget it, it doesn't make much sense.

"I have already said what I wanted to say a moment ago, and everyone will be safe in the future."

Zhang Shuran's body froze, as if all the strength in his body had been exhausted, he let go of the hand that was holding Tang Yuan, and his shoulders collapsed.

Tang Yuan loosened the tie under his shirt, a little annoyed.

After a while, Zhang Shuran lowered his head and straightened the cuffs of his suit, all the emotions on his face faded away, "I am engaged to Zhou Jia on June [-]st, I will send you an invitation card, come or not you."

Tang Yuan thought of the pretty girl who was good at playing the cello, and even thought of their mutual friend Feng Yu, "Do you love Zhou Jia?"

Zhang Shuran didn't answer, he turned around and walked towards the elevator, without looking back, he said, "Xiaoyuan, you will regret your original choice."

"Oh shit!"

Tang Yuan threw the cigarette butt on the ground, picked it up again the next moment, and threw it into the trash can not far away.

After returning from Xinghui, Tang Yuan called Pei Wenjin to the office, grabbed and kissed him again and again until his brain was starved of oxygen.

I don't regret it, never regret it, he said in his heart.

Tang Yuan saw Jiang E again at a charity party. Jiang E came here with his father and three uncles, and it was rare that he was wearing a suit and leather shoes instead of his leather jacket.

Seeing Jiang E coming towards him, Tang Yuan greeted several people around him and greeted him.

Jiang E has lost weight, and anyone who is familiar with him can tell it at a glance. Based on this alone, Tang Yuan has to reassess Zhang Yang's weight in his heart.

"You look like a little boy in a white suit."

Hearing what Jiang E said, Tang Yuan was not annoyed, and the corners of his lips curled up, "Really? Others say he looks like Prince Charming."

Jiang E's face twitched, and he raised his wine glass to touch Tang Yuan, "You are not as cute now as before."

In the past, at least he still had a true temperament, but now he has put on a mask, and he has been infected with those things in the business field, and it can be fake.

But it is estimated that the process of the young master's change was quite bad.

"It's cute but it can't be eaten." Tang Yuan asked casually, "How is it? Are you still looking for Zhang Yang?"

Jiang E sneered disdainfully, "It's just a sale."

Tang Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he smiled happily. It seems that Jiang E has never stopped looking for Zhang Yang, and there is no news. Pei Wenjin's move was good.

Seeing Tang Yuan laughing suddenly, Jiang E got goosebumps all over his body, "Why do you laugh so disgustingly?"

"Disgusting?" Tang Yuan smeared his face in surprise, "It shouldn't be, I'm very handsome."

"..."

Jiang E looked at one place, and said with a playful smile, "Tang Yuan, your former Fa Xiao led his future wife here."

Tang Yuan followed his line of sight, Zhang Shuran and Zhou Jia made their grand debut, a pair of lovers, a perfect couple.

Jiang E raised his eyebrows, "Why don't you go and say hello?"

Tang Yuan turned around and left.

Jiang E put his shoulder on his shoulder, "Don't go, I'll go with you."

Tang Yuan rolled his eyes, "OK."

When Tang Yuan and Jiang E walked towards Zhang Shuran, the expression on the other side's face when he was talking to others obviously stagnated for a moment.

For a moment, Tang Yuan wondered if Zhang Shuran would be afraid of what he might say to Zhou Jia.

That thought didn't stay in his heart for long, and was repelled by Zhou Jia's eyes on Zhang Shuran.

The Zhou family is not an ordinary family, and the little princess who was raised up is not an ordinary girl either.

Even if she is really poisoned by Zhang Shuran, the family members are still awake and won't let her suffer.

The four greeted each other, Zhang Shuran was polite, Zhou Jia was embarrassed, Tang Yuan behaved calmly, Jiang E didn't see it as a joke.

This out brought two messages to those present.

First, the Tang and Zhang families brought everything to the shopping mall, and their old friends for many years no longer existed. Second, Mingyu's young master seemed to have a very good relationship with the young master of the Tang family.

Tang Yuan signaled Jiang E to look not far away, "Your father's face is green with anger."

"Never mind him," Jiang said, upset that he didn't see the play as a joke, "why didn't you see your other two little ones?"

Tang Yuan's complexion suddenly sank, "Don't fucking ask what you know."

"Damn it, you..."

In the middle of Jiang's swearing, Tang Yuan left. He looked in the direction the other party was going, and saw a petite and exquisite little beauty, Feng Yu.

After watching it with interest for a while, Jiang E turned his head and left.

Tang Yuan chatted with Feng Yu, mainly to listen to her complaining about how many things she had to memorize every day, as if she had no love in her life.

Feng Yu later realized that he treated Tang Yuan as a pot of bitterness, and vomited it in without hesitation, his face flushed red with embarrassment, "Where's Secretary Pei?"

Tang Yuan said, "He went to another place."

Feng Yu pinned some of the long hair on her shoulders behind her ears, revealing her beautiful collarbone, "My fifth uncle's research institute is doing a project related to congenital diseases."

Tang Yuan's thoughts moved, "What is missing? Advanced equipment or talents?"

"I'm not very clear, I'll ask my fifth uncle later," Feng Yu said, "I just remembered it, so I'll mention it to you."

Tang Yuan was a little disappointed, he pursed his lips, "I'm very supportive, just call me if you need it."

Someone looked here ambiguously, Feng Yu's neck was red, she reached out and squeezed the pearl earrings on her ears, "You value that subject very much."

Tang Yuan said solemnly, "Money is only valuable if it is used in meaningful places, such as contributing to the great construction of the country and contributing to the benefit of mankind."

Feng Yu stared at him blankly.

Tang Yuan snapped his fingers, "Little girl, come back to your senses."

Feng Yu, "..."

"Don't stare at a grown man like that. I'll forget it. It would be dangerous to change to someone else."

"Oh."

After that, Tang Yuan chatted with Li Yue a few words. He got used to the changing of cups and cups in this kind of occasion, talking and laughing happily, and he rated himself seventy.

I don't have the nerve to hit it higher.

Those who came today are all celebrities and dignitaries, they are in the upper class, they don’t lack money, they lack fame, and they want to do good deeds, get God’s favor, live a few more years, and have a good pregnancy in the next life.

Most rich people are the richer they are, the more they cherish their lives and the more superstitious they are.

In any case, every penny donated at a charity gala is considered a good deed if it actually goes to those in need.

Tang Yuan donated quite a lot, not because he wanted to take this opportunity to gain reputation with money, it was purely a personal matter.

He has to donate for his dad and his boyfriend.

Jiang E came out of nowhere. He used to be in a suit and leather shoes, but now he took off his coat, unbuttoned his shirt several times, and his waxed hair was also messed up. With a dark complexion and a strong body, he was dissolute. And wild.

Tang Yuan stepped back, looking like I don't know this person.

Jiang E refused to let him go, but the two brothers held him back, "Would you like to have a drink at another place?"

Tang Yuan broke away in disgust, "I can't drink it."

"Tomorrow we will report. The headline is that the heirs of the Tang family have special friendship skills. There is no one but a buddy." Jiang E hiccupped, "Why don't you pay me back the favor? ?”

Tang Yuan waved his hand in front of his nose, "You've already drunk like this, why don't you drink ass?"

"Just drink fart," Jiang E ignored the winks from his third uncle, and walked towards the exit with Tang Yuan in his arms, "Don't dawdle, hurry up!"

Jiang E's wine was so poor that he would go crazy if he drank too much, and almost scared the two little girls who poured the wine to tears.

Tang Yuan waved the two of them to go out, "Think about Zhang Yang."

Jiang E smashed the wine bottle in his hand, and the glass and the famous wine fell to the ground and splashed everywhere. He seemed to be out of his mind, and smashed the other bottles of wine on the table.

There were hurried footsteps outside, and the passing waiter notified the manager, and hurried to the door, not daring to come in directly.

"Tang...Young Master Tang, what happened?"

"Don't come in, it's fine."

"Do you want someone to clean it? I brought someone over, go in and clean it up?"

"later."

The manager at the door told the security guards to leave. He didn't leave, so he was not at ease. The two masters inside couldn't afford to mess with him.

Tang Yuan glanced at his watch, and he said to the manager outside the door, "Find me a substitute driver."

The manager responded hurriedly.

Tang Yuan glanced at the mess on the ground, and at Jiang E on the sofa, "People's hearts are made of flesh, how can they be trampled on casually."

Jiang E didn't know whether he died of drunkenness, or went crazy and took a short rest.

"Do you know what your name is?" Tang Yuan tutted his tongue, "It's self-inflicted, and it's also called that to blame, to reap the consequences, to be self-inflicted..."

Jiang E's gloomy voice sounded from the sofa, "Young Master Tang's vocabulary is really rich, he is indeed a master student."

"So-so." Tang Yuan peeled a piece of chewing gum into his mouth, got up and put his coat in his arms, "Someone sent you back, I will withdraw first."

Jiang E yelled at his back, "Hey, you don't have Meijiao Niang at home, what are you doing back so early?"

Tang Yuan kept walking, there was no Meijiao Niang, but there was a top handsome guy, my boyfriend.

It was just after ten o'clock when I got home, and I could smell the pungent smell of smoke when I entered the door.

Tang Yuan stood at the entrance, felt the light on the wall next to him turn on, changed his leather shoes, pulled on his slippers and walked to the living room, frowned at the man sitting on the sofa smoking a cigarette, "Why don't you turn on the light?"

The next moment he saw the ashtray on the coffee table, which was full of cigarette butts, he suddenly became furious, "Smoking so much, you want to die, right?"

Pei Wenjin extinguished the cigarette between his fingers.

Tang Yuan picked up the ashtray and buckled it down heavily. The cigarette butts and ash inside fell out in a mess, just like his mood. He took a deep breath and suppressed his emotions, "Is things not going well?"

Pei Wenjin's voice was hoarse, "Successful."

Hearing this, Tang Yuan lost control of his emotions as soon as he suppressed them, and asked with violent veins, "Then why are you smoking so much?"

Pei Wenjin leaned back in the chair, put his hands on his forehead, and closed his eyes in silence.

Tang Yuan squatted down in front of the man, raised his head to look at him, and saw clearly his state of exhaustion from work. His heart felt a little sour, and his voice softened, "Is menopause here?"

Pei Wenjin was noncommittal.

Tang Yuan told him about what happened at the party, and also about Jiang E's drunken madness. At the end, he didn't forget to say, "I know that drunk driving is dangerous, so I didn't drive myself, and asked a substitute driver to take me back."

Pei Wenjin's eyelids opened, and the red corners of his eyes drooped, falling on the young man's delicate and beautiful face, "I'm going to the hospital tomorrow."

Tang Yuan raised his heart immediately, "What's wrong?"

Pei Wenjin rubbed the top of his hair reassuringly, "It's just a simple inspection."

"What time is it?" Tang Yuan grabbed the man's hand and shook it, "I'll go with you."

Pei Wenjin shook his head, "You can't follow, it's not appropriate."

Tang Yuan understood the meaning of his words, curled his lips depressedly, "I want to see your inspection report."

Pei Wenjin, "OK."

Tang Yuan grabbed a few pieces of paper from the tissue box, and swept all the cigarette butts and ash on the coffee table into the trash, "I told you to quit smoking, but I smoked it myself. If you want to smoke second-hand smoke, that’s not okay.”

He made up his mind and said seriously, "I won't smoke anymore, and I won't smoke in the future. I'll find a way to turn it down when I'm socializing."

Pei Wenjin pinched the boy's face and rubbed it, "Push it once or twice, not three times or four times."

"Then try to restrain yourself." Tang Yuan said, "I don't smoke except for entertainment. When I don't want to kiss you, we both have the smell of cigarettes in our mouths."

Pei Wenjin opened his arms, and Tang Yuan immediately threw himself into his arms.

Tang Yuan read all the inspection reports two days later, consulted Dr. Wang, and even indirectly asked Feng Yu.

After making sure that Pei Wenjin's body was fine, the big stone in his heart fell to the ground.

There was a piece of news that day that caused quite a stir in the business world.

Xinghui did not choose Zhang, a veteran in film distribution, but chose Tang, who was no less than a novice in that field, and fell through everyone's glasses.

The reasons are different.

One of the most popular sayings is that the current head of the Zhang family still took into account the brotherhood in the end, and gave up Xinghui's cooperation to his younger brother.

It seems that there is a team behind the scenes, which greatly improves the credibility.

Then Xinghui internally leaked news that it was originally signed with Zhang, and the contract was also drawn up. While signing, the person in charge answered the phone and said that he would not sign.

This news is somewhat reliable, but it is still suppressed by the heat caused by brotherhood.

People in the circle don't express their opinions. They are well aware of the intrigues, darkness and complexity of the mall, so they naturally know what's going on here.

Netizens from the outside world followed the direction of public opinion under the wave of enthusiasm, sympathized with Zhang's family one by one, felt that Zhang Shuran was loyal, and some people defended him.

Tang Yuan swiped through Weibo and lamented that the Zhang family played beautifully.

The cooperation failed to be negotiated, and the loss can be minimized. The speed is so fast, and the strength of the think tank behind it is amazing.

Tang Yuan didn't have time to deal with the media, and he didn't have time to watch what Zhang Shuran would do. He had a meeting after working with Xinghui happily.

The attitude of the high-level people has changed a lot. As for the reason, everyone has tacitly understood it.

Tang Yuan is neither arrogant nor impetuous, and communicates with them in a friendly manner, and will not hang up just because of a little grade.

In the middle of the meeting, Pei Wenjin notified Tang Yuan that Lin Xiao was back and brought back good news that she had negotiated a cooperation with SLM in France.

Double happiness for the Tang family.

Tang Yuan asked the employees to leave work early and promised not to work overtime for the next month.

Everyone in the company cheered unceasingly. Tang Yuan was a little bit worse because his father hadn't come back yet.

However, there is no bad news, but good news.

Zhang Shuran has never contacted Tang Yuan, as if he lost in the first fight, it's nothing, other than his work, he is dating Zhou Jia, eating here, drinking there, what he presents is a couple The sight a couple in love should have.

Tang Yuan faintly felt that something was going to happen, but he didn't know what it was.

On March 25, the No.11 "Xilan" Cup Dance Competition was held in City A.

Tang Yuan has gone.

He sat under the table, at a relatively rear position, took off his suit, and put on a blue casual sportswear suitable for his age. He was just an ordinary college student, and he couldn't find any traces of being in the mall.

Teachers and students from several dance schools across the country have come, and there is no shortage of all kinds of dances. One can imagine the grand occasion.

For people in the dance industry, the "Xilan" Cup is the most sacred and authoritative competition in China. Even if they cannot make it to the finals, it is a rare and precious experience that cannot be missed.

Pei Wenjin rushed over after finishing his official duties, sat down next to Tang Yuan with a clear breath, and took a sip of juice with his hand, "When will it start?"

"It's coming soon." Tang Yuan pressed the gray baseball cap on his head, "The counselor sent me a WeChat message, saying that everyone will get together at night, do you think I should go?"

Pei Wenjin put one hand on the back of the chair, as if hugging him vaguely, "Go if you want."

"Then go," Tang Yuan said while sucking on the juice, "I still like the counselor quite a bit, it's interesting to talk to her."

He glanced at the man beside him, gulped down a mouthful of juice and said, "Pure appreciation."

Pei Wenjin was helpless and wronged, "I'm not that narrow-minded."

Tang Yuan smiled at him, "Too modest."

Pei Wenjin, "..."

The lobby was very noisy, and the figures on and off the stage were shaking. It was not yet April, and it was a bit hot and unbearable to sit here.

Tang Yuan felt an inexplicable uneasiness in his heart, either uneasy, or flustered, for no reason, he stood up and moved his hands and feet, moving his eyes around.

Since he sat at the back, he had a wide range of vision, including two-thirds of the lobby.

Nothing unusual.

Tang Yuan sat back, gave Pei Wenjin the unfinished juice, took out his mobile phone from his coat, and planned to check the real-time report for a while.

"Excuse me, are you Young Master Tang?"

A voice suddenly came from behind, Tang Yuan was taken aback for a moment, he twisted his neck back, saw that it was a strange girl, looking at him nervously and curiously, "I am."

The girl handed over a small black bag, "A little brother asked me to give this to you as a reward for you."

Tang Yuan frowned, Chen Shuangxi was the only one who could say that.

He didn't reach out to pick it up, but exchanged glances with Pei Wenjin calmly, and asked a little more, "What does it look like?"

"Skinny and white, very handsome." The girl thought about it and said, "The eyes are big, with small pear holes."

After listening to the description, Tang Yuan was sure it was Chen Shuangxi. He took the small bag from the girl's hand and poured the contents into his hand. It was a USB flash drive.
