my brother became a scum

Time can be really scary.

Winter, spring, summer.

Zhang Chen posted a photo of his son's first birthday in Moments, counting the time, his child was born not long after I left that city, and all the things he said at that time, as expected, none of them could be heard—— He's a complete scumbag.

I smoked a cigarette in the smoking area and returned to the meeting room. The meeting had reached a heated stage. A group of leaders who decided the direction of Lushi’s development tore off the appearance of kindness. Their faces were red and their necks were thick. Glancing at the boss, the boss is still drinking his tea on the ground, as stable as a mountain.

The team under Lushi has been changed several times, and the leader still sits firmly in the leading position. Only a fool would think he is a soft-hearted and kind person. I opened my seat and sat down, and the quarreling people gradually stopped arguing Yes, turn to look at me.

I turned my head to look at the head, and I said, "You see?"

"Comrade Peace is in charge of the revision of the plan, you speak first."

I took out the speech draft that I had discussed with the boss in advance, and started to talk about it one by one. After I finished speaking, I continued to read the boss, and he took a sip of tea: "Comrade Heping is right, do you have any other comments? "

The others in the room looked at each other in blank dismay, and finally someone first raised a question, I opened the book, I wrote down what he said, and responded in a pleasant manner, and after he finished everything, I raised my head and asked: "Next? "

In this way, the meeting lasted for another two hours. The clock ticked to six o'clock in the evening, and it was already past the time to get off work. It was just when people started to be hungry. The boss coughed and called the secretary to send some Come here to eat.

So a group of people started to eat boxed lunches together, and most of the initial anger disappeared. After the meal was over, I began to make some concessions and adjustments, and continued to communicate in a leisurely manner. Some people were already sleepy, and finally the plan went smoothly. Passed, when I was packing the files, the boss gave me a look, and I deliberately slowed down, waiting for everyone to leave before listening to him.

The boss likes to drink tea, not delicate ones, the more bitter and rough the more he likes it, I have no research on tea ceremony, drinking tea is not much better than cattle drink, but he thinks it is pleasing to the eye.We simply finalized some details and arranged tomorrow's work. The boss mentioned another matter to me. There will be an economic forum summit next week. He was supposed to attend, but he decided to recommend me to go.

"Isn't that appropriate?" Even though I'm in charge of the economy, I've only been in Lushi for a year, and it's really inappropriate to go directly as the only representative of Lushi.

"I've got the news that the promotion will be raised soon. I didn't leave before because I couldn't find a suitable successor. Now I think you are the right one." The boss spoke very straightforwardly at the moment, which was quite different from the past.

But I didn't dare to take this sentence lightly. After thinking about it, I said: "There is no such thing as a successor. If you raise the promotion, the follow-up situation will have to be decided after a meeting of the team."

"You boy, your words are impeccable."

"Thank you for valuing me, but everything is going according to the procedure so that there will be no chaos."

"Well, I can't say no to you, will you go to this economic forum summit?"

"go."

After saying this word, I regretted it, but the matter has been settled, and there is no room for regret.

That city is still the place where I was born and raised, even if Zhang Chen is there, let's go back and have a look.

Before departure, I worked for [-] consecutive days. After finishing all the work, I got a stack of project contracts in my bag and got on the plane.

After getting off the plane, there was a special car directly to pick up the hotel where I was staying. It was not a coincidence that it happened to be the hotel where Zhang Chen told me that he was going to get married. No?"

Someone leads the way for me, and someone pushes the door for me. Is this the so-called shelf?

I smiled and walked slowly into the hotel. The activity started on the second day. I just got off the plane, and I was still a little tired, so I went into the bathroom and took a shower.When I stepped out of the bathroom, I realized that there was an unexpected guest on the sofa.

I tucked the corner of the bath towel around my waist and called his name: "Zheng Dongyang."

"Long time no see, Chen Heping."

He was wearing a suit and gold-rimmed glasses, exactly the same as when we met in the ward many years ago. I turned up the air conditioner a few degrees and sat on the other side of the sofa.

"How did you get in?"

"Have you forgotten where I work?"

I rubbed my temples, feeling the long-lost brain pain: "The official activities will start tomorrow, what are you coming to see me for today?"

"I want information." He answered simply

"What information?" I asked naturally, pretending to be stupid.

"Give me the information in the pink rabbit, and I will make the most of it."

"There is no information, the only information was handed in at the beginning, you know what the consequences will be."

"I don't believe your words."

"Whether you believe it or not has nothing to do with me."

Zheng Dongyang touched his nose: "It's just that I haven't seen you for a long time, come and see my old friend."

"Old friend?"

"I take you as a friend."

"I don't consider you a friend."

Zheng Dongyang got up and went to get a drink. As a concession, he said, "Coffee or juice?"

"Boiled water."

Zheng Dongyang cast a glance at me: "The little belly came out?"

"Not yet, the fruit juice is too sweet, and if you drink too much coffee, it won't work at critical times."

"Tsk," Zheng Dongyang took a bottle of ice water and threw it on me, "I'm too lazy to burn it, let's use it."

I put the ice water on the coffee table, ready to drink it when it returns to a little temperature.

"It's a hot day, isn't it good to cool off?"

"I have a bad stomach, so take care of it. If you drink a bad stomach, it's easy to delay things tomorrow."

"You are really an old man."

"Ah."

Zheng Dongyang laughed all of a sudden, and when he had had enough, he picked up his coat and put it on his shoulder: "Send me?"

"I'm wrapped in this towel."

"Send me to the door?"

"You go by yourself."

"If you don't send me off, I won't leave."

I really didn't expect Zheng Dongyang to be so evasive, impatient to talk to him again, so he simply walked towards the door, and as soon as he opened the door, he bumped into a large bouquet of fiery red roses. human face.

I was suffocated, but Zheng Dongyang's voice came from behind: "Hey, isn't this Zhang Chen? Hello, I am Chen Heping's boyfriend."

I subconsciously wanted to refute, but looking at Zhang Chen's calm face, the words changed from my mouth: "What are you doing here?"

Zhang Chen was already a husband and father, and he appeared at the door of my room with a bunch of flowers in his hands, which was disgusting.

He is still very good-looking, his hair may have been permed, curled up slightly, his face has no wrinkles, like a peeled white tender egg white.Time treats him very favorably, and treats everyone who is willing to spend a lot of money to please her.

Zhang Chen stared at me for a while, and he said, "Aren't you going to send him away? Let's talk."

"I wanted to come here," Zheng Dongyang walked up to me at some point, and put his hand on my shoulder, just within the tolerable range, "I saw my boyfriend's ex. Can I go?"

"You are not Chen Heping's boyfriend."

Zhang Chen was very calm and said in an almost certain tone.

"You said it wasn't it?"

"He can't."

Zhang Chen's answer is not out of trust, it's more like my actions are under his control, I'm tired of him making such a gesture, especially when I realize that he is actually a liar and scum .

I turned my head and glanced at Zheng Dongyang, thinking I'm sorry brother, I reached out and put my arms around his shoulders, and kissed him very neatly, not on the lips, but on the cheek, and I said, "This is my boyfriend."

Zheng Dongyang's face turned red immediately, his eyelashes blinked, and the hand on my shoulder directly pinched: "I'm not leaving today, Young Master Zhang, please go back?"

"You two are really dating?" Zhang Chen still had a smile on his face, showing no signs of losing.

"It's really getting together," I heard me say, "this time I'm coming back, and I'm going to drop by to see him."

"Okay, I bought these roses for nothing." He was about to throw the flowers into the trash can in the corridor, I felt sorry for the money, and I instinctively wanted to stop it, which naturally escaped Zheng Dongyang's hands.

Zhang Chen threw the rose on me, and I caught it subconsciously. In a few seconds, he jumped to Zheng Dongyang's side—the two started fighting.

I threw flowers, went to stop, and instinctively pulled Zheng Dongyang away and stopped in front of Zhang Chen. There was a bruise on the corner of Zheng Dongyang's mouth. He clicked his tongue and cursed: "I let you kiss me for nothing."

Zhang Chen smiled behind me, and stretched out his hand to grab my arm while laughing: "We need to talk, Chen Heping."

I thought to myself that there is nothing to talk about, but in this situation, there is no way not to talk about it.

"What about the surveillance video?"

"I'm going to deal with it. It's really unlucky today. I didn't get the things and I met a lunatic."

"You don't care what Chen Heping wants. Chen Heping obeyed the law and handed in everything. You have found the wrong person, Zheng Dongyang."

The two of them are like two childish ghosts, and they still have to chat a few words after the fight. I broke free from Zhang Chen's hand, walked Zheng Dongyang a few steps, and apologized in a low voice. Zheng Dongyang stood at the elevator door and spoke to me. Said: "Chen Heping, you need to be clearer, you are not a fool."

My mind has always been clear, but when Zhang Chen and Zheng Dongyang fought, I couldn't control my body at all, and my instinctive reaction was to protect Zhang Chen.

I could have used Zheng Dongyang to get rid of Zhang Chen's troubles, but in the end it fell short-maybe this is the reason why Zhang Chen suddenly attacked. He knows me better than I imagined.

Zhang Chen and I went back to the room, he took a few gulps of the water I poured, and threw beautiful roses on the carpet at will, neither he nor I paid attention to it.

"I didn't lie to you," Zhang Chen opened his mouth, and went up to explain, "I thought your circle of friends was still blocking me, but when I thought about it later, I had been unblocked long ago. That circle of friends was sent for interested people to see, not to let me You see."

"Hmm." I thought for a while, and could only say this word.

"My wife gave birth to a child, and the child is not mine, but my brother's."

"Ah."

"The boy wants to marry someone else. The old lady likes this child. She doesn't want to bear the name of an illegitimate child, so let me marry the child's mother, and take over my property in a logical way."

"Ah."

"At that time, they wanted to get rid of you, and I wanted to protect you. When something like this happened, the old lady asked me to marry someone."

"Oh."

Zhang Chen turned the mineral water bottle in his hand and didn't look at me: "Shouldn't you hug me so excitedly and say sorry for misunderstanding me? I always act like this in TV dramas."

"I don't believe you," I said slowly, staring at the rose petals scattered on the carpet, "I don't believe what you say, even if I believe you, what does that have to do with me? If you want to save me unilaterally, then It's your choice, I didn't know it before, and I don't want to be moved now."
