Return to before being slag

After Chen Mu returned to China, he quickly got in touch with his old friends Gu Chengxi and Xiao Zichuan.Gu Chengxi is now an executive of an investment company, while Xiao Zichuan has become the owner of a large supermarket chain as he developed in his previous life.

Over the years, Chen Mu would get together with them every time he returned to China. No matter how busy he was at work, he would take time to contact them by phone. Therefore, even after ten years, their friendship has not faded.

The three of them made an appointment to drink at a bar they used to go to. When Chen Mu went, Xiao and Gu had already arrived.They asked for a private room, and the beer and snacks had already been ordered. Chen Mu hugged them respectively, and said with a smile, "I'm the last one to arrive again this time."

Chen Mu is always punctual, but Xiao Zichuan and Gu Chengxi are used to arriving early.

Xiao Zichuan looked at Chen Mu with a smile, and joked: "Which time are you not the last one? We are used to it." After ten years of tempering, he has shed the youthful ignorance he once had. He has grown into a mature and personable man.If you just look at his confident and stable appearance now, it is hard to imagine that he was a thin four-eyed boy who was often bullied when he was studying.

"I don't care, you are the last one to arrive, the old rules, first punish yourself with three cups." Gu Chengxi went straight here just after work, still wearing formal clothes, he took off his suit jacket, then unbuttoned the cuffs of the gray shirt inside, and put the sleeves on He rolled it to the elbow, as if planning to get drunk.

Hearing this, Chen Mu pulled a lazy smile from the corner of his mouth: "Even if I punish myself for three drinks, you still can't drink me." Even after so many years, Gu Chengxi's drinking capacity still hasn't improved at all, just like his people, the years The passage of time only adds mature charm to his appearance, but he still maintains a pure heart.

Gu Chengxi knew that he was not good at drinking, so he brought Xiao Zichuan out, "I can't drink you, so there is Xiao Xiao." Xiao Zichuan has been drinking a lot in business these years, so his drinking capacity is naturally not bad.

"Don't drink him." Chen Mu skillfully filled three glasses of wine, picked up one of them, and glanced at Xiao Zichuan with a smile, "Otherwise, my siblings will be unhappy again."

Xiao Zichuan was the first of the three to get out of the singles. He already had a fiancée, who was good-looking and had a good family background. Although she was the daughter of a giant in the snack industry, she didn't have the temper of a daughter. When they got engaged, Chen Mu even went to attend.

"We finally got together today, and we should drink a few more glasses. She won't blame me." As he spoke, Xiao Zichuan picked up one of the other two glasses of wine that Chen Mu had poured.

Chen Mu stopped and said, "That's what I want to drink."

After giving the last cup to Gu Chengxi, Xiao Zichuan said, "It's fun to drink together."

Gu Chengxi smiled and said to Chen Mu: "Xiao Xiao still defends you like that." As soon as he spoke, his head was slapped, and then Xiao Zichuan's voice sounded: "Drink your bar."

Among the three of them, Xiao Zichuan has changed the most.Gu Chengxi touched his head, raised his wine glass to meet them with a smile, and after drinking a glass of wine, Gu Chengxi hiccupped and asked casually: "This time, how many days are you planning to stay in City A?"

Chen Mudao: "I shouldn't leave in the future."

After pouring the wine, Xiao Zichuan looked at him, "Have you figured it out?"

Chen Mu smiled and nodded: "Think clearly."

"That's pretty good. If you need help in the future, just come to me." Xiao Zichuan continued the motion of pouring wine, poured wine for himself, and then poured full wine for Chen Mu and Gu Chengxi respectively.

"Don't worry, I will never be polite to you."

Although the three of them said they wanted to drink until they were drunk, Xiao Zichuan used to socialize a lot and hurt his stomach, and Gu Chengxi couldn't handle alcohol, so they just drank in moderation, and most of the time they talked about their current situation and their side anecdote.Chen Mu and Gu Chengxi were already able to chat, but they couldn't hold back once they chatted, while Xiao Zichuan quietly ate melon seeds and peeled peanuts, occasionally interjecting a few words.

Chen Mu asked him when he would organize the wedding, Xiao Zichuan said that he was too busy during this time, so we can talk about it later.Gu Chengxi lamented why he had a bumpy relationship and was always dumped.It turns out that in these years, Gu Chengxi has had two boyfriends, one for five years, because the other party is going to go abroad to work, and the other is less than half a year, eight years younger than Gu Chengxi, who just broke up not long ago, what did they say when they broke up? There is no passion for being together, and I want to find Xiao Xianrou. To put it bluntly, I think Gu Chengxi is old.

With a bang, Gu Chengxi put down his wine glass heavily, and wiped his mouth with the back of his hand, "Is 28 old? Is it old? He also said that my personality is too dull and I have no interest, so he shouldn't chase me at the beginning." Gu Chengxi talked together After three paragraphs, it's the one being chased and also the one being dumped. He's just cool, but he's actually easy to chase. The other party just needs to put more thought into it, have a good personality, and don't look too sorry for the audience.

Upon hearing Gu Chengxi's words, Chen Mu also began to think about age, and turned to Xiao Zichuan, "Is 28 old?"

Xiao Zichuan put the peeled melon seeds and peanuts on the white plate in front of Chen Mu, and then dialed some to Gu Chengxi, saying: "It's not yet thirty, it's too early to think about this issue now."

"Did you hear that?" Chen Mu comforted the broken-hearted Gu Chengxi: "You're not old at all, it's just that fate hasn't arrived."

Gu Chengxi raised his head and drank a glass of wine, "I can only think so."

Originally, they didn't plan to drink too much, but Gu Chengxi had a poor capacity for alcohol, and soon became drunk, Chen Mu called Xiao Zichuan, and together they sent him home.It was already ten o'clock in the evening when I came out of Gu Chengxi's house. Chen Mu looked up at the crescent moon in the night sky, and asked, "Have you really decided to spend the rest of your life with that girl?"

"Ah."

"Speaking of which, the two of you are really progressing very fast. We've been together since we met on a blind date for three days." Xiao's father thought that a man should start a family first and then start a career. Xiao Zichuan arranged for him to go on a blind date before he graduated from university.

Xiao Zichuan turned around, stared at Chen Mu with warm eyes under the street lamp, and said in a gentle and gentle voice, "She's pretty good, has a good family background, a good personality, and a pretty appearance. My career can develop so well now, thanks to her family's help and support." support."

"That's good."

Seeing Xiao Zichuan's expression so gentle when he mentioned his fiancée, Chen Mu was relieved.Although the man puts his career first, he still hopes that Xiao Zichuan can find a girl he really likes to marry.

Just when Xiao Zichuan's cell phone rang, Chen Mu looked at him narrowly, "The family urged you to go back."

Xiao Zichuan glanced at the phone screen, did not answer it, but said in a joking tone: "Speaking of which, I once had a crush on someone."

"Who?"

"I also didn't understand until long after he left."

The hazy light of the street lamp made Xiao Zichuan's eyes clear and soft. With his eyes removed, his facial features are actually very good-looking, a bit like the male protagonist in comics.

"Who doesn't have a first love, life still has to go on." Chen Mu rubbed Xiao Zichuan's hair habitually as in the past, and gestured to his cell phone with his eyes, "Answer the phone, or the siblings should worry."

"Yeah, life must go on."

Xiao Zichuan murmured to himself in a low voice, and then, urged by Chen Mu's eyes, connected to the phone.

After Xiao Zichuan took a taxi to leave, Chen Mu felt that the moonlight was good tonight, so he took a taxi and asked the driver to take him around.When passing the downstairs of the house where he lived before, Chen Mu asked the driver to stop, got out of the car, leaned his back against the body, and lit a cigarette.

A little spark appeared and disappeared in the night wind, Chen Mu exhaled smoke rings, and through the smoke, his eyes fell on a certain window.After ten years of changes, the factory where her mother used to work has moved away, and the residents in the residential building where the factory employees live have almost left. In the dim night, the surrounding is quiet like a dead city.

Over the years, Chen Mu has been very busy, busy with completing his studies, busy with starting a business, busy with socializing, etc. He has filled his time every day. When he looks back, he realizes that ten years have passed.If it wasn't for the changes in City A to remind him of the passage of time, he would have thought that only two short years had passed.

Maybe it's time for him to slow down and enjoy life.

***

Two days later, Qin Hao finally came back as promised, and Chen Mu went to the airport to pick him up in person.As soon as he saw Chen Mu, Qin Hao warmly gave him a hug, and asked with a smile, "I'm not late, am I?"

He has a quarter of mixed-race genes, high nose and deep eyes, both western and oriental, tall and tall, especially a pair of eyebrows and eyes, which are deep and charming, which is the finishing touch of his facial features.When he first met Qin Hao, Chen Mu joked that it was a pity that he didn't want to be a model.

"No, you came just in time." After admiring Qin Hao's beauty, Chen Mu said, "There is a charity party tonight, and many business leaders and mainstream media will participate. You must go with me." Now that you have decided to move your business back Domestically, opening up popularity and expanding the circle of contacts has become the top priority.

"Okay."

Qin Hao agreed with a smile.

One of the two is tall and foreign, the other is handsome and mysterious. Standing together is a moving landscape, attracting everyone's attention wherever they go.

When Ji Zhun walked out from the airport, he noticed some commotion in front of him. He just thought it was a celebrity and didn't care. He bent down and got into the car, and said to the driver, "Go to the company." He just came back from a business trip, and now he wants to Go to the company for a meeting first to deal with business, and there is a charity dinner to attend in the evening.

"Yes, President."

He Yufan said respectfully.

Glancing lightly at the back of He Yufan's head, Ji Zhun closed his eyes indifferently.

He Yufan was his assistant. Recently, his driver, Uncle Wang, went to the hospital to have his appendicitis cut. Ji Zhun asked He Yufan to act as the driver temporarily because he needed to rest for a while.Speaking of which, although He Yufan graduated from a famous university with a good resume, he lacks work experience, so he can be an ordinary employee in Ji's company, but the position of assistant to the president is not his turn.

Ji Zhun made an exception and let He Yufan be his assistant, thanks to the fact that he has a face similar to that man.

Ten years later, he still couldn't forget the pain and humiliation Chen Mu brought him.Over the years, Chen Mu appeared in his dreams from time to time. In the dream, they were doing things that couples would do. Chen Mu would cook for him, carefully prepare birthday gifts for him, and they would leave all kinds of love in the room. But no matter how real and sweet the dream is, it is just a dream after all.

After waking up, facing the desolation of the room and the fact that Chen Mu was not by his side, the belated pain tormented his heart like a knife.

Dreams are the refraction of subconscious mind, Ji Zhun thinks he will have dreams because he can't forget Chen Mu.In order to get rid of Chen Mu, he arranged He Yufan, who was [-]% similar to Chen Mu, by his side, and looked at the other person's face every day. He hated He Yufan's face similar to Chen Mu's more and more.

But no matter how much he looks like Chen Mu, he can be indifferent to He Yufan, but he can't forget that damned man.

Perhaps, he should stop this stupid behavior.

***

Ji Zhun listened casually to the compliments from the people around him, shook the goblet in his hand slightly, and watched the wine-red liquid swirl in the glass, just like his mood at the moment.He was tired of this kind of banquet a long time ago, but he had to attend, chatting and laughing with people he knew or didn't know, no matter how impatient he was, he still had to maintain his elegant demeanor and pretend to listen carefully.

The host of this charity dinner can be regarded as a legend in City A. From a girl who was trafficked by human traffickers and never went to college, to the position of a real estate master step by step, how many hardships and hard work have to be experienced in this process? I know that although she is nearly sixty years old, she is very energetic, and everyone will call her Aunt Qin affectionately.

Aunt Qin's dead husband was Ji Shaorong's righteous brother, who helped Ji Shaorong in his career in the early years. Ji Shaorong was such a proud and domineering person, no one would accept him, but this elder brother. Later, when Ji Shaorong was ill and hospitalized, someone wanted to take advantage of the chaos to seize power It was Aunt Qin who pushed Ji Zhun to be the president of the Ji family despite all the arguments.

Therefore, Ji Zhun must come to today's banquet.

At this moment, Aunt Qin walked up to Ji Zhun and asked about his father's situation, and Ji Zhun replied that everything was fine.Aunt Qin also watched Ji Zhun grow up, knew his parents' situation, and loved Ji Zhun very much.

Not wanting to talk about these unhappy things, Aunt Qin changed the subject with a smile: "By the way, today I have someone to introduce to you. You are about the same age, so you should be able to chat."

Ji Zhun didn't ask who it was, but said: "The person Aunt Qin introduced must be met."

Before the words were finished, there was some commotion at the door. Aunt Qin followed the prestige, saw the man who stood out from the crowd, and smiled, "Said Cao Cao Cao Cao is here, he is here."

Ji Zhun followed Aunt Qin's gaze, and didn't know what he saw. There was a gap in his originally calm and indifferent face, and various complicated expressions flashed across his face, from the initial shock to the final expression under restraint. Calmly, he only spent a short time, because the speed was too fast, no one noticed his abnormality.

He once swore that Chen Mu had better never appear in front of him in this life, otherwise he would never let him go, and even if he wanted to die, he would drag him to die with him.

Very good, Ji Zhun thought, after ten years, this hateful man finally came back.
