I am very poor

When talking about this with Huo Yufei, Gu Cheng omitted many things.

Huo Yufei didn't notice what he omitted, or at least he didn't notice it now.

Huo Yufei was still enthusiastically exchanging high-frequency trading topics with the other party.

Before this evening, he was a little worried and uneasy about what Gu Cheng had done in the past three years, and of course he was more nervous and looking forward to it.

Nervous what Gu Cheng was nervous about, expecting what Gu Cheng expected, even more so.

In the process of communicating with Gu Cheng, all these tensions and expectations were realized.

He is very happy.

Huo Yufei always thought that Gu Cheng was actually very good and powerful.

This kind of cognition has nothing to do with whether Gu Cheng has made any achievements or how much money he has earned.But if Gu Cheng really made achievements and made money, Huo Yufei would have an aboveboard reason to be "complacent".

He is therefore particularly interested in these topics.

It wasn't until after the meal that their topic changed from the previous high-frequency trading to Huo Yufei's experience in Africa in the past few years.

Huo Yufei and Gu Cheng stood alone and sat on a high stool, listening to soothing music, chatting casually while drinking.

Since Li Ze had already covered Gu Cheng's case in advance, there was no need for Huo Yufei to cover up because he didn't want the other party to worry.However, when referring to the things he has experienced, there is no need for him to emphasize those turbulent conflicts, but try to pick out those things that are particularly relaxing and interesting.For example, the custom of using a special-shaped coconut fruit as a wedding gift in East African tribes, or how the locals train monkeys to do housework.

Gu Cheng stood with his back to the bar, with both elbows resting on the counter, his body leaning back slightly, holding a glass of Black Russia in his hand, and turning his head to listen to Huo Yufei's speech seriously.No matter where Huo Yufei said, as soon as he turned around, he would bump into the other person's eyes quietly watching him.Gu Cheng didn't even take a sip of the alcoholic drink in his hand, the ice in the square glass had completely melted.

Huo Yufei bent one leg and stepped on the footstool of the high stool, while the other leg was extended, with the toes slightly pointing to the ground.He said a lot in one breath, then stopped, took a sip of the wine in his hand, and left the glass with a little surprise on his lips: "It's very good!"

He looked back at the bartender: "It smells like chocolate?"

The bartender smiled mysteriously.

Huo Yufei clapped his fingers and asked Gu Cheng, "Would you like to have a drink?"

Gu Cheng picked up the cup in his hand for a moment, then shook his head.

Huo Yufei didn't force it, and when he was ready to snap his fingers, he took it back naturally, but he handed over his cup, with the corner of his mouth curved: "It tastes good."

Gu Cheng also laughed, hesitated for a few seconds, and immediately took it over.

When the other party was not paying attention, he quietly turned the cup to the place where the other party drank before, took a sip, and nodded with certainty: "It's really good!"

It may also be that they all talked about themselves, and the strangeness between them was eliminated a lot. On the way back, Huo Yufei sat in the co-pilot and told Gu Cheng about his itinerary for the next few days.

By this time it was completely dark.The lights on both sides of the road are like rising stars, and cars of various colors flow in an endless stream, turning into neon lights with long tails.This also reflects the current economic development and prosperity of City B from another aspect.

After talking about his deployment in the Huaguo market in the past six months, Huo Yufei said with a little emotion: "The future is here."

The future is here?

At the moment when the action stopped, while trying to figure out what the other party meant, the sophisticated brain hidden behind the eyes was running at high speed, and soon found countless clues like wool ends.

Gu Cheng was thoughtful.

There is such a big piece of cake in the mainland, how could Huo Yufei let it go?

After having enough funds in his hands, the first thing he did was to pay off foreign debts.

Among these "foreign debts" are friends who invested and helped, and bank loans... In addition, there is a separate large sum, which is to be paid to Huo Qidong's British expenses according to the agreement.

So far, the property under his name is under the management of the family, and Huo Yufei doesn't need to worry about it, at least he doesn't need to worry about anything else except money.With better luck, now this only problem is no longer a problem.

The work in Africa... To be honest, since last Christmas, Huo Yufei has hardly been required to sit in charge.Therefore, the relationship with the local area is relatively smooth, and there will be no serious obstacles to doing business.Even in the occasional civil war, there will be vehicles sent by General Patton to protect them all the way.

As for U.S. stocks, wouldn't Huo Yufei not know what will happen in the next two years?

What really needs him to worry about is the domestic side.

Therefore, there is almost no need to find reasons for staying in the country.Huo Yufei arranged the work with a smile, and then told Gu Cheng that he might have to stay in the country for a longer time due to work needs.

Staying longer means that he can finally leave the African continent and spend a lot of time raising rabbits...not right, it should be raising big rabbits.

But what I didn't expect was that no matter whether it was a little rabbit or a big rabbit, they didn't think about asking him to raise them, but they thought about raising him instead.

After dinner that day, Huo Yufei and Gu Cheng returned to the house over the Lama Temple as usual.

Then for half a month, they lived here.

No one has specifically confirmed this matter, but there seems to be a special tacit understanding between the two people.How to get closer, how to solve problems, how to communicate with each other little by little.

Just like-

Sleep together, eat together, deal with work separately, discuss with each other occasionally, exchange opinions.Then every day after dinner, set aside a little time to communicate what happened during the time apart from each other, things that the other party didn't know.

Both Huo Yufei and Gu Cheng tried their best to approach each other as naturally and unobtrusively as possible, and allowed each other to approach.Eliminate the strangeness and distance accumulated during the separation time.

The effect of doing so is obvious.

When Huo Yufei woke up one morning, Gu Cheng was no longer in bed.

He seems to have a very early work and rest time, he automatically opens his eyes before the sun comes up, gets out of bed quietly, and prepares breakfast in the kitchen, never waking Huo Yufei up once.

Huo Yufei sat on the edge of the bed and looked at the time, yawned deeply, put on his slippers, opened the door, and guessed in a good mood what to eat this morning.

However, when he opened the door, he saw that Gu Cheng seemed to have just come back from the outside, and he took off his suit jacket not long ago, and was casually thrown on the armrest at the other end of the sofa.

So early, just came back from outside?

Huo Yufei made a curious question mark in his heart.

Gu Cheng didn't notice him.

Sitting on the sofa, he leaned slightly, pointed at the terms of the document with the tip of his pen seriously, confirmed them one by one, and then signed them one by one.The morning sun shrouded a fluffy halo on his body, especially on the back, making his waistline look very thin.

But Huo Yufei knew what kind of resilience and strength lay beneath the surface he saw now.This made him involuntary, which made his heart move.

Huo Yufei didn't restrain this impulse either, he walked over quickly, knelt on one knee on the sofa, and stretched out his arms to wrap around the thinnest part of Gu Cheng's waistline.

The little rabbit who was seriously writing something was startled, and subconsciously raised his eyebrows slightly, and when he touched the corner of Huo Yufei's smiling mouth, he became very gentle and soft.

"Scared me." He complained jokingly, then put down his pen, sorted out the documents quickly, and put them into a brown paper bag.

Huo Yufei put his chin on the other's shoulder and asked him, "What are these?"

While silently counting and counting the documents, Gu Cheng answered concisely: "Some documents."

Huo Yufei tightened his arms to show his dissatisfaction with this rather perfunctory answer.

Gu Cheng quickly put the file bag aside, stood up by himself, took Huo Yufei with him, and dragged him to have breakfast together.

After they lived together, Huo Yufei's old routine gradually recovered, and he resumed the habit of ordering three meals a day on time - Gu Cheng often cooks by himself, and Huo Yufei soon found the familiar taste, Said that there is nothing else that can attract him.

This is very good, at least it shows that Gu Cheng has lived a very healthy life in the past few years.

Huo Yufei thought so at the time.

But now, there are still many things he doesn't know, not only why Gu Cheng wakes up so early every day.

What's more, the little rabbit who wanted to transplant him into his backyard had prepared him a birthday present.

A week later, it would be Huo Yufei's own birthday.

He almost forgot about it himself.

Because I have been abroad for the past few years, I don't have any mood or need to celebrate my birthday, and I even have very little contact with my family.In the first year, Song Yulai called Huo Yufei very early to urge Huo Yufei to return to China, or go back to Australia to organize a birthday party for him.After repeatedly urging him many times, Huo Yufei still didn't come back.

The next two years were similar, Song Yulai basically acquiesced that he was not interested in celebrating his birthday anymore.

In fact, a birthday party is a necessary social occasion, where you can get in touch with friends who are interested in each other.If Huo Yufei hadn't forgotten about this incident, his party should already be in the process of intense preparations.

The truth is, he forgot to clean up.

It wasn't until early in the morning of his birthday that a few close friends called and Huo Yufei picked up the electronic calendar next to his bed, that he suddenly realized something.

But he didn't take it to heart.

Huo Yufei felt that he had forgotten it, so he couldn't ask others to take it to heart.

But that "others" obviously did not include Gu Cheng.

Huo Yufei, who came to inspect the office early in the morning, received several calls in a row. Besides friends, there were also Huo Qidong, Ms. Song, Song Yulai, and his elder brother Huo Yushou.

When talking on the phone with Huo Yushou, Huo Yufei also said that his elder brother didn't need to spend extra money to prepare gifts for him.

But as soon as he looked back, Huo Yufei streamlined his inspection tasks and returned home from the office ahead of schedule.

His little bunny should be around all day today.

When I opened the door, I found that the house was very quiet. The living room was bright and quiet, like a Japanese anime scene with the sound muted.There was no one in the kitchen or bathroom, only the bedroom door was closed.

Huo Yufei stretched out his hand and twisted it, but it didn't unscrew, it was locked from the inside!

Why lock the door?

Huo Yufei put a question mark.

He sat on the sofa for a while, then took out his mobile phone and called Gu Cheng.Soon, the phone rang through the door.

Just after Huo Yufei said the word "Gu Cheng", the sound of slippers came from the bedroom, followed by a "crash", and then the sound of footsteps.

The bedroom door was pulled open.

Huo Yufei stood up immediately.

Only then did he realize that Gu Cheng seemed particularly tired between his eyebrows.Behind him was an almost dark bedroom with heavy curtains, only the right side of the innermost layer was opened a little randomly, allowing some light to come in.

"A little sleepy, I'm sleeping."

There is nothing unacceptable about this reason.

Immediately, he was diverted by the next sentence——

"Yufei, happy birthday. Did you get my gift?"
