You who walk against the light

The mobile phone under the pillow vibrated with a buzzing sound, Zhong Kaifan rubbed the corners of his eyes, and connected the phone, "Hello?"

Xiao Zheng's voice came from the receiver, "Sorry Kaifan, I called you so early."

Zhong Kaifan smiled, and seemed to be in a particularly good mood, "It's okay."

"Kaifan, I want you to tell me something. You don't have to go to the film and television festival dinner today." Xiao Zheng said straight to the point, "Although the Zhong family has invested in film and television, we will meet many acquaintances tonight. It’s okay if you don’t attend.”

Hearing what Xiao Zheng said, Zhong Kaifan suddenly sat up and became more conscious, "What's wrong?"

Xiao Zheng hesitated for a moment, "Zhong Ziming will also go, he recently got into a heated relationship with a female celebrity."

Zhong Kaifan lost his temper, "What does it matter to me whether he goes or not? He failed in the black-box operation on the board of directors. Why, he still wants to stretch his hands to a side job?"

Xiao Zheng was afraid that he would get angry, so he said patiently: "After all, Zhong Ziming has been dormant in the Zhong family for many years. If you want to move him, you can't do it overnight. What's more, he was trying to catch you. Something, Kaifan, I can't explain to Zhong Dong."

When he was working, Xiao Zheng always addressed Zhong Kaifan respectfully and would not call him by his first name.But now, he is earnest, and he proposes it entirely as a friend.If others knew that the future helm of the Zhong family was gay, I don't know what kind of public opinion storm it would cause.In fact, the road to the top is not so easy to walk.

Zhong Kaifan was silent.

Xiao Zheng originally thought that he would refute a few words, or insist on moving forward. After all, he knew that Lin Yuan hadn't seen Zhong Kaifan a few times in the past six months, and he could count it with five fingers.

Since Zhong Kaifan returned to the Zhong family, since his previous major was medicine, he had to learn from scratch any matter involving corporate decision-making.Rest almost every morning.

After a while, Xiao Zheng sighed, "I'll pick you up according to the schedule, but you must promise me something."

Zhong Kaifan was startled, "Say it."

"No matter what happens, you can only pretend that you don't know Lin Yuan. He was involved in disputes in that circle." Xiao Zheng said word by word.

"Okay." Zhong Kaifan agreed.

"You still have a meeting at nine o'clock. I was afraid that talking about it on the way would make you feel bad. I thought that Lin Yuan should go out by now, so I took the liberty to call in advance."

Zhong Kaifan knew in his heart that Xiao Zheng had always done everything, which always made people feel at ease.

Zhong Kaifan had lost all sleepiness at this time, he pressed the button on the remote control, the curtains in the bedroom slowly opened, and the room was filled with light.Through the glass window, the morning mist can be vaguely seen, but the sky is still glowing with light orange, which should be a good weather.

"By the way, I forgot to ask you last time, who did Lin Yuan offend?" Zhong Kaifan got up and went to the bathroom, turning on the faucet.

Xiao Zheng replied: "It's a high-level executive in a film and television company, with a wide network of contacts and a very old age."

The knuckles holding the glass started to turn white, Zhong Kaifan couldn't help thinking of the scars on Lin Yuan's back, his cheeks were clenched tightly, and his face was gloomy.

"So, no matter what happens, Kaifan, you can't help, at least not on the surface."

"That person can't move?"

Xiao Zheng said simply and clearly: "The time has not yet come."

"I see." Zhong Kaifan's eyes were dim, and he tried his best to control his emotions, and quickly ended the call.

The faucet made a burst of water flow, like a fine comb, alienating the chaotic air.

Zhong Kaifan washed his face, his temples were wet, he calmed down a little, and when he looked up in the mirror, he found a facial cleanser on the counter.

It belongs to A Yuan.

There was a Snoopy printed on the facial cleanser, Zhong Kaifan wanted to laugh and cry at the same time, after a while, a faint echo came from the bathroom: "Childish."

At seven o'clock, Zhong Kaifan had already sat back in the study, turned on the computer and began to read emails in batches, and would mark things he didn't understand.He has a strong learning ability since he was a child, but it also requires great efforts to re-contact an unfamiliar field.

Looking at the financial statements for this quarter, Zhong Zi

Ming's branch company is very profitable, no wonder even his father can't find faults on the surface.Zhong Kaifan remembered that Zhong Ziming was one year younger than himself, and the first time he saw him was in his teens. He hadn't changed his surname at that time, and when he came to Zhong's house in a daze, he couldn't even speak well, and he had a strong hometown accent.

It's not that Zhong Kaifan is hostile to him, it's that he saw him steal a book from Zhong Can one time, so he didn't have a good impression of him.

Zhong Can later said good things for Zhong Ziming: "A book, don't bother with him, and the books we both read are piled up all over the room, and there is no shortage of this one."

"You are quite magnanimous." Zhong Kaifan smiled, but his words were a little distant.

Zhong Ziming once asked Zhong Can quietly: "Why do I feel that Kai Fan doesn't like me very much?"

"He's just like that. When he gets angry, he doesn't even respond to me. Don't take it to heart." Zhong Can explained.

Zhong Ziming breathed a sigh of relief, with a flattering brow, "Then can I come to play with you often in the future?"

Zhong Can is very soft-hearted. Seeing him like this, he suddenly couldn't bear it, "Of course I can, you are my brother too."

Zhong Ziming smiled mischievously. In fact, he knew in his heart that he was also called 'brother', and he could not compare Kaifan's position in Zhong Can's heart. He was a real brother. How could there be a relative like him?

With Zhong Can mediating in the middle, the few of them can play together.It wasn't until he entered middle school that Zhong Ziming gradually integrated into the local environment, his accent weakened, and he couldn't find any faults in his gestures, so he looked similar to a boy like Zhong Can.

After a long time, Zhong Kaifan got used to Zhong Ziming following behind them, but at the beginning he kept the matter with Lin Yuan from Zhong Ziming.

Zhong Can reminded him: "Brother, if you can hide this from others, Brother Ziming will find out sooner or later."

Zhong Kaifan said angrily, "It's quite easy for you to call him."

"I found that you are quite jealous? I really don't know how Lin Yuan can bear you."

"I want you to take care of it." Zhong Kaifan had a dirty face, but there was a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Ten years have passed in a flash, and Zhong Kaifan recalled that during the meeting at the headquarters last week, Zhong Ziming reported the current work situation in fluent English.

Speaking of which, among the four of him, Lin Yuan, Zhong Can, and Zhong Ziming, Zhong Ziming was the one who was the most human-like.

The years are really embarrassing.
