After returning from the restaurant, Chu Chu received an invitation from Xiao Tingjun. The day after tomorrow is his 50th birthday. He hoped to have a meal at home. After Chu Chu readily agreed, he went out during the day to choose a gift. He couldn't go to the birthday party empty-handed.

However, to my surprise, when I arrived at Xiao Tingjun's villa, I didn't see the hall full of guests, the bustle of drinking wine, the living room was empty, and it didn't look like the venue.Xiao Tingjun came out of the room, saw Chu Chu, stepped forward and patted, "It's quite early, just in time, come with me to the study!"

"Isn't today your fiftieth birthday?" Chu Chu followed the master upstairs into the study, and handed the prepared gift to Xiao Tingjun, a little unresponsive. "Come to have a meal, what to bring!" Xiao Tingjun took it with a smile, and took a closer look, "I didn't say anything! Others came to join in the fun, I think it's noisy, just invite you. "

"Celebrating your birthday is a big event. You should hold a birthday banquet. Invite your relatives and friends over to celebrate your birthday." Chu Chu took the tea from Xiao Tingjun with both hands and tasted it carefully.

"Even if I invite them, I really want to celebrate my birthday. Everyone has their own ideas, and I'm too lazy to do it. Just like this, I have a quiet meal with your good friend. It's the same. I'm still happy and at ease."

The two sat in the study, Xiao Tingjun looked at Chu Chu, his face became serious, "The Chu family has been in a mess recently, how are you doing? I really don't want to go back to the Chu family? I've heard about you too, and I feel uncomfortable Ah, just come and talk to me, an old man, I'm so idle now. I believe you have an idea on what to do, and I won't talk about the rest. If you don't plan to go back to Chu, how about coming to my place? It's still the general manager , would you like to?"

Unexpectedly, Chu Chu was stunned for a few seconds, looking cautious, "The strength of Qisheng Group is naturally incomparable to Chu's, and your company also cooperates with us to jointly develop the land of the Sunshine Welfare Institute. Let me Are you not worried about entering Qisheng as the general manager?"

"I'm still worried that the company will collapse! Haha, of course I'm relieved of your ability. As for the cooperation project with the Chu Corporation, it's something created by the people below. You are also opposed to this project, so why should I worry about it. If you really have the ability to bring down Qisheng, I have to thank you! I'm so tired of worrying so much!"

After hearing Xiao Tingjun's words, Chu Chu smiled unnaturally, and caught the message in the other party's words, Chu Chu asked, "How do you know that I oppose the development project of the welfare home?"

"Someone sent a feasibility report to the manager of the company's development department, which fully listed the risks of this project and the difficulty of implementation. I looked at the data and investigations, and it made sense." Xiao Tingjun put down his teacup and glanced at Chu Chu , smiled meaningfully, "Of course I have a way to find out who this person is."

"I'm a trickster, and I don't know it. I'm sorry to make you laugh!" Chu Chu lowered his head and smiled, and then said seriously: "Your proposal is very tempting, but I'm afraid I can't do it!"

"You are young, so you have a lot of worries!" Xiao Tingjun glanced at Chu Chu, seemed to be very persistent, and sighed quietly, "I have said it all, I am at ease for you. Sigh, I still expect you to help me take care of my subordinates Those disobedient people, my body is getting worse every day, and I may close my eyes and enter the coffin someday. If I die, some people will be happy! I have worked hard for half my life, and in the end I have taken advantage of others. I still don't know how they are going to spoil the company, thinking about it this way, I really can't die!"

"You are in good health. Today is your fiftieth birthday. Don't talk nonsense. It's a taboo!" Chu Chu reminded softly. He was taken away by the police and suspected of multiple crimes. If I agreed to you and entered Qisheng, your company might be implicated. This is something I don't want to see."

"What you said, are you worried that Chu Xuan will bite you back?" Xiao Tingjun understood the meaning of Chu Chu's words, his face was solemn, he pondered for a moment, and continued, "Just tell me the truth, I don't ask anything else, Did you break any law?"

"No." Chu Chu replied without hesitation, with a firm tone, "In the Chu family..." Xiao Tingjun interrupted him with a wave of his hand, "That's fine. Since you didn't participate in those things, even if she Chu Xuan splashed dirt on you Shui, I believe that the police will find out the facts. You don't have to worry about this. She can't cover the sky with her hands on the police side. If you don't nod your head, I'll have to pay more attention to the thatched cottage. I'm very stubborn, you have to agree to a word!" At the end, Xiao Tingjun laughed and joked: "You just pity me, an old man, nod your head! "

"You act both hard and soft, if I don't agree, it will appear that I don't know what to do." Chu Chu was very helpless, and sighed, "I just want to live up to your great trust!"

"Young people go forward bravely, how can you look forward and look backward!" Xiao Tingjun got up, "As a thank you, today, you can eat more, you are welcome!"

The two went downstairs to sit at the dining table. Although there were only the two of them, the dishes were very sumptuous, filling the entire table, no less than that of a big hotel.The meal was very enjoyable. Chu Chu chatted a lot with Xiao Tingjun, and also learned about Qisheng from him. After listening carefully, Chu Chu then expressed his thoughts, and the two exchanged opinions.

Xiao Tingjun's original intention was to let Chu Chu join the company next week, the sooner the better.Chu Chu bluntly said that the Chu family is at the cusp of the storm, and any of his actions may be over-interpreted by the outside world, putting Qisheng under public opinion.In the end, the two discussed that Chu Chu would officially enter Qisheng next month.

After eating, seeing that the weather outside was fine, Chu Chu accompanied Xiao Tingjun to the garden for a walk to digest food.Different from the scenery I saw last time, even though it was still early spring, the decay of winter was swept away, and vitality was everywhere, and many green shoots of plants could already be seen.

Xiao Tingjun walked very slowly, and gradually, his steps even trembled. After sitting down on the stone stool, he suddenly took out half a piece of jade from his pocket and handed it to Chu Chu.Chu Chu didn't understand, so he took it with both hands and looked at it in the palm of his hand. He felt a little familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.

"I gave the other half to her. When I get old, I always think about the past. In the past few years, I have been carrying it with me. In my heart, I still wonder if I will meet someday." Chu Chu returned the jade back, Xiao Tingjun squeezed it tightly in his hand and rubbed it tightly, with a look of nostalgia on his face, he sighed, his voice was full of vicissitudes of life, "There is no chance, I will never see you again!"

"It's that girlfriend from your university?" Chu Chu sat down and looked at Xiao Tingjun with a sad expression. Involuntarily, Chu Chu held Xiao Tingjun's hand, as if feeling the pity, and comforted him: "And Chances are, you will meet."

Xiao Tingjun raised his head, patted Chu Chu's hand, somewhat relieved, "I let you comfort me! By the way, as I said last time, the person you like, how are you doing? Has there been any further development? I see You, you are very dull, you are not enlightened at all, and you still don’t want to chase? Be careful and run away with others, you will regret it.”

The topic suddenly came to this point, Chu Chu showed embarrassment, and quickly corrected: "You misunderstood, I don't like him, how is it possible, just an ordinary friend, there are some things at work that I can't understand."

"So I said that you are slow in this aspect. I don't believe it. The young people nowadays, I really don't understand it. It's not as good as it was in my era. If you like someone, go after them, like a man, don't shrink back , I laughed at you. You are still ordinary friends! Do you still have to teach you as an old man, you like everything!"

"You don't know the situation, you really misunderstood! I have nothing with him, let alone like him. It's impossible for me to like him, it's too ridiculous!" Chu Chu was a little anxious, and repeatedly emphasized, expressing himself I hope that the other party will not misunderstand the relationship between him and Qin Yi again. Of course, a large part of it is also for him to listen to and serve as a warning.

"You are trying to kill me, old bone!" Seeing Chu Chu's denial, Xiao Tingjun sighed, almost beating his chest, "You are not a woman, so you need to play duplicity? Then you Tell me, how do you feel about other girls? Are you nervous, your heart beats faster, you always want to see her, but when you see her, you are as speechless as a fool. Are you like this? "

The person who was asked was speechless, Chu Chu wanted to refute but didn't know how to speak, his body froze, and he began to get nervous.Think about it, every time he and Qin Yi met, they would be manipulated by the other party like a mentally retarded person, that would be so angry.As for the rapid heartbeat, it should be due to the unstable heart rate caused by the newly transplanted heart, and it has nothing to do with that person.Always wanted to see Qin Yi?How could it be possible, he had to meet because of urgent work.

Thinking of countless reasons in his heart, Chu Chu became more and more confident. Just as he was about to speak, Xiao Tingjun saw that he was silent for a long time, and continued: "I'm hurt, do you feel distressed? Don't want him to be sad?"

Chu Chu choked on the spot, and swallowed back what he wanted to say. He was stunned for a few seconds, and then said softly: "He was injured because he saved me. As a superior, I should go and see. But, he has to follow When I talk about things from my childhood, I can't be too indifferent..."

"Stop it, stop it for me." As if hearing something extraordinary, Xiao Tingjun praised again and again, and slapped Chu Chu on the back hard, with a posture of hating iron and steel, "Okay, what a good girl! You are sentimental." Youyi, in fact, such a girl can't be found even with a lantern, you silly boy, why don't you hurry up and do it!"

"He has ulterior motives!" Chu Chu pouted, with an unhappy expression on his face.Just as he muttered in a low voice, Xiao Tingjun patted him hard again, "Why did you encounter this, you are confused!"

In the end, it was really bad to be nagged, Chu Chu left Xiao Tingjun's house early.Back at the apartment, Chu Chu suddenly remembered where he had seen half a piece of jade, became suspicious, and hurried out the door again, driving to the Sunshine Welfare Institute.
