most difficult city

On the first day of work after the new year, Yu Baichu came to the company early to look for Gu Qi, but unexpectedly came to nothing.I didn't see him twice when I came down from nine o'clock to twelve o'clock. I asked my colleagues in the department to find out that Gu Qi didn't come to work.

How can it be?What was so serious that Gu Qi was absent on the first day of work?Assistant Gao Chen went to the HR department and came back to tell him that Gu Qi had taken annual leave.

He actually asked for annual leave at this time?

Yu Baichu immediately thought of the man who appeared at his house that day.Is it possible to ask for leave to accompany that guy to visit the beautiful scenery of the magic city?Ghost letter!

Even though emotionally unwilling to admit that Gu Qi asked for leave because of Chen Nai, rationally, Yu Baichu called Wuhao's boss to express condolences, but the phone was turned off...

Yu Baichu couldn't sit still all of a sudden, took the car keys and left.Before going out, he met Assistant Shi Lin, Yu Baichu pushed him away and got on the elevator in a hurry.

As soon as he arrived at Gu Qi's house, Yu Baichu knocked loudly on the door, but there was no movement inside, so he started calling again, but the phone was still turned off...

Ten minutes later, a few security guards from the property came up, stopped Yu Baichu and left.Yu Baichu was powerless to fight back.

Entering the security room is a lesson, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that he has a good status, so he didn't embarrass him after a few lessons.

Yu Baichu asked the security guards about Gu Qi's whereabouts without giving up. One of the security guards asked him what car Gu Qi was driving, and he reported the car logo and license plate number without thinking.

Yu Baichu was so angry that he wanted to scold his mother.Don't tell him when you ask for leave, and don't tell him when you go out, what does this bastard Gu Qi think of him!

Gu Qi didn't call him in the next few days, and he didn't call him in anger.However, after only one day, Yu Baichu was scratching his heart and lungs, and after another day, he couldn't take it anymore and called Gu Qi's mobile phone, but no one answered.

In a fit of anger, Yu Baichu dropped his phone to the ground.

About an hour later, the mobile phone on the ground rang, and Yu Baichu quickly picked it up.The caller ID is Gu Qi.

He suppressed the restlessness in his heart, pretending not to care and asked, "Hey, where are you?"

"In Beijing." Gu Qi said with a trace of exhaustion.

He actually went to Beijing!

"What are you going to do in Beijing?"

"Something happened to my classmate."

"Male classmate and female classmate?"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Yu, I have something to do here, so I'll hang up first."

Before he could react, the phone had fallen into a blind tone.Yu Baichu looked at the phone screen in disbelief. After a while, he put down the phone and sank into the seat.What the hell is he doing...

Gao Chen knocked on the door and said, "Mr. Yu, Mr. Shi is looking for you."

As if he had never heard of it, Gao Chen had no choice but to back out.

In the evening, he went to the Zhanxing Charity House again, and the little girl from the Zhan family asked to play a game. Yu Baichu felt a blank in his mind and urgently needed to find something to fill it up, so he agreed to the little girl's request.The little girl excitedly rolled out a lot of things from the room, and spread them out one by one in front of Bai Chu to show him, and she wanted to play house.

The corners of Yu Baichu's mouth twitched, Zhan Xingshan was watching the play, his wife couldn't bear it, picked up her daughter and left.

"I really want to see how you play house with the children." Zhan Xingshan said with a smile.

"I would rather die."

"Bai Chu, you've been in a bad mood these two days, because of Gu Qi?"

Although Yu Baichu's acquaintance with Zhan Xingshan is not as good as Shen Nian Xijiu's, they hit it off unexpectedly. Perhaps Zhan Xingshan's gentle and non-aggressive personality naturally makes people want to get close.Zhan Xingshan knew his sexuality, he never had any unreasonable thoughts about Zhan Xingshan, and over time he became a friend whom he could occasionally talk to.

"Ashan, I have never been so cautious as I am now."

"You dare not tell him about yourself?"

"he knows."

"He discriminated against you?"

"No, he's just like a normal person."

"It's like him."

"Ashan, what do you think he is thinking?"

"I don't think he hates you."

"Who knows, maybe he already thought I was disgusting in his heart."

"I don't think he's that kind of person, why don't you tell him what you think?"

"Impossible. I'm afraid even my colleagues can't do it. He likes women, and I saw him confess to a woman with my own eyes." At the end, he added a sentence unwillingly, "But he was rejected."

Zhan Xing smiled, "Look at your unrelenting posture, where is that domineering Yu Baichu from before? If you come to me for encouragement, I don't care."

"You've been encouraging me ass."

"Doesn't it mean that you will never know whether you are straight or crooked before you are really tempted? He was rejected by a woman. Maybe it was the opportunity God gave you. Otherwise, do you think there is any reason for such an excellent man to be rejected by a woman?"

Yu Baichu carefully chewed Zhan's words of kindness, and felt that there was some truth in it, and couldn't help but smile on his face.However, Chen Nai's face flashed across his mind, and his smile instantly collapsed.

"Maybe he went to Beijing this time for his classmate. Can you imagine, workaholic Gu Qi asked for annual leave to go to Beijing to accompany his classmate!"

Zhan Xingshan looked helpless, "You are enough for Yu Baichu!"

After being chased away by Zhan Xingshan, Yu Baichu turned on his mobile phone to check the flight ticket to Beijing. The first flight was tomorrow at [-] o'clock. He clicked on "Reservation" with his thumb and did not let go. After a long time, he put down his mobile phone.

Forget it, it's better not to press every step of the way.

Nothing happened at night, he was going back to the company to read the information Gao Chen gave him during the day.The elevator habitually stopped on the floor where Gu Qi was. He got out of the elevator and walked in and saw the lights in Gu Qi's office.With a heartbeat, he strode away.

Gu Qi was indeed in the office.He only turned on the desk lamp, and most of his body was hidden in the darkness.Yu Baichu approached and saw that he was in a daze, and there was a confused look on his face that didn't belong to him.

Yu Baichu's heart trembled, and he knocked on the door.

Gu Qi came back to his senses and met Yu Baichu's eyes.

Yu Baichu pushed open the door and asked worriedly, "What happened?"

Gu Qi pinched the bridge of his nose, "It's nothing."

"You don't look like nothing at all, tell me, what happened?"

It was rare for Yu Baichu to be tough towards him. Gu Qi was stunned for a moment, then heaved a long sigh and said, "Mr. Yu, do you still remember the classmate who appeared at my house that day?"

"Chen Nai?" He remembered turning into ashes.

"He attempted suicide a few days ago, and the police found in his mobile phone that the last call was to me... When I arrived in Beijing, he was already awake, with no relatives around him, and a big man was squatting in the hospital corridor crying..."

"What's up with him?"

"Chen Nai was extroverted and high-spirited when he was in college. Many people regarded him as an idol, but he suffered repeated setbacks after graduation. The last time I came to my house was because my business failed and I had nowhere to go. At that time, I found that something was wrong with him, but I didn't ask him why. .”

"this is not your fault."

"Well, I know. But we used to be roommates and friends. My code of conduct has always been not to meddle in other people's business, so no matter whether Chen Nai is proud in good times or frustrated in difficult times, I never said a word of reminder or encouragement. "

"Why didn't I say it?"

"Zhou Luo called me cold-blooded before. I refused to admit it and insisted that she was too naive. Only now do I know that I am really cold-blooded."

"It's not wrong to be cold-blooded, you just see society too clearly."

Gu Qi looked up at him, "Mr. Yu also thinks I'm cold-blooded, right?"

Yu Baichu was questioned.

Seeing Yu Baichu's hesitation, Gu Qi understood everything.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Yu."

Hearing his apology, Yu Baichu felt uneasy, "Why did you tell me you're sorry, you didn't do anything wrong."

"It's too late to wait until I make a mistake. I just sat here and kept thinking, what is the meaning of life? Chen couldn't bear the pressure of work and chose to commit suicide. My subordinates faced the pressure and scolding I gave all day long. They Have you ever thought about it?"

"Don't think about it anymore." Yu Baichu walked up to him, half-squatting and eye-level with him, "What are you saying to worry about your subordinates being overwhelmed by pressure, Gu Qi, you can't blame yourself."

Gu Qi looked into his eyes and didn't speak.

"Those who are jealous of you and hate you are because they only see your brilliance, and the perspective in their hearts is doomed that they will never see your suffering. But I have. I don't want to let you bear the pressure alone again, Whenever you need me, I'm here."

This confession-like words successfully changed Gu Qi's expression.Yu Baichu didn't want to find any more excuses.Let Gu Qi think about everything, success or failure, he can afford it.

After a while, Gu Qiqing coughed, "Mr. Yu, aren't your legs sore?"

Yu Baichu realized later, and hurriedly supported the desk to get up.His calf was numb, Yu Baichu lost his footing and fell on Gu Qi.Gu Qi didn't have time to dodge, and really withstood his weight.

The air became a little hot and dry.

"Boss Yu...you can get up now."

"...I can't move my legs."

Yu Baichu didn't lie to him.His lower limbs were completely numb.

Gu Qi pressed his arms and pushed him to a chair beside him.The hot feeling slowly dissipated, and both of them were a little embarrassed.

Yu Bai Chuqiang looked for a topic, "Did you come here directly from the airport? Did you drive?"

"Ah."

"Then why don't you take me back, I didn't drive." The reason why he dared to lie blatantly was because he didn't see Gu Qi's car in the underground garage, so he should have parked the car outside.

What happened just now made Gu Qi a little embarrassed, and it was not easy to refuse him, so he had to agree.

Yu Baichu took an inch and said, "Are you hungry? Do you want to have a midnight snack together?"

"Not hungry, I ate on the plane."

Yu Baichu regretted it, why did he ask him if he was hungry, he should have said that he was hungry and let him go with him.With his style of not offending his boss, he will definitely agree.

"Airplane food is so bad, do you really want to stop eating?"

Gu Qi has already left the office, "Mr. Yu, I'm leaving, won't you leave?"

Yu Baichu followed him in three or two steps.

The moon outside the building was full circle, Gu Qi walked in front of Bai Chu, looking at his straight back, a smile appeared on the corner of Bai Chu's mouth.Perhaps what Zhan Xingshan said was right, Gu Qi's rejection by Zhou Luo was an opportunity God gave him.
