Collapse

The snow outside the window reflects the cold light, the lake is frozen, and the irresistible emptiness hits from the snow-like lake, making no ripples on the water.

There is no howling wind, and there is the sound of water in the bathroom, making the night extraordinarily quiet.

The frosted glass in the bathroom was misty, the double bed was messy, a corner of the quilt fell to the floor, and a dim night light was on on the bedside table.Jiang Mingyun left the bedroom and went downstairs in the dark, and took a bottle of foreign wine from the underground wine storage room.

The light of the street lamp came into the room. He put the glass on the black marble countertop in the kitchen, poured the golden wine, raised the glass to his lips, and began to lose his mind, and did not take a sip for a long time.Suddenly, he heard footsteps on the stairs, thump, thud, like a muffled sound coming from a clock tower, awakening the dull time.

Only then did Jiang Mingyun turn on the lights in the kitchen, and the lights outside were also turned on. He leaned against the kitchen door, shook his wine glass at the other person, and asked if he wanted wine.

Alcohol, maybe it can ease the atmosphere.

He got a negative answer.

"Which side of the dressing room is my clothes?" After taking a shower, Luo Xuan was wearing a blue bathrobe, his hair was neatly brushed back, and the water from the ends of his hair dripped down, wet the back of his neck.Seeing Jiang Mingyun looking at him, he pulled the skirt of his clothes unnaturally, with a very strange expression on his face.

If the original Luo Xuan was young, shy, and half-hidden, now he is completely different. His appearance has not changed at all, but he has a strange edge.The drooping eyes make him look depraved and depressed, but he is an extremely arrogant person in his bones. His temperament is turbulent in the cold and heat, turning into a kind of evil bewitchment, harvesting people's hearts with ice-cold beauty.

No, he shouldn't be called "Luo Xuan".

Jiang Mingyun lowered his eyes and took a sip of the wine. After a moment of silence, he said, "It's very late, go to the bedroom and sleep. I'll sleep in the guest room."

"Then I'll pick whatever I want."

Luo Xuan suppressed his anger and pretended to be indifferent.However, there was a sexual relationship, which was not unacceptable. It was far from worth making him turn against Jiang Mingyun, but he couldn't do it without any grievances, so he could only sulk in his heart.

"Roy, listen to me."

Jiang Mingyun walked towards him, wanting to say something to him.Luo Xuan didn't give him this chance, and the movement of turning around clearly expressed his refusal. Jiang Mingyun was savvy, and reluctantly swallowed back the words on his lips.

Luo Xuan walked up the stairs, and it didn't take long before he came back into Jiang Mingyun's field of vision fully dressed.He picked out a well-proportioned black suit, white shirt, and silver-gray tie, as if he was about to participate in a business negotiation.This is not the dressing style of a person who stays at home. He wore Jiang Mingyun's clothes by mistake.

"You don't have a driver's license in China." Jiang Mingyun stood at the foot of the stairs, and when he looked up at Luo Xuan, every tiny crease in his eyes was full of connivance, and he suggested to him very gentlemanly, "You are temporarily here tonight. Is it okay to stay here? I'll go."

"No." His answer was rather dry, and there was no trace of emotion in it.

Jiang Mingyun said again: "Then where are you going? Shall I see you off?"

"Need not."

Luo Xuan walked around Jiang Mingyun, opened the door and walked out. The cold was blowing in his face, he narrowed his eyes slightly, and continued to walk into the depths of the winter night.

With no one to be with him, he desperately needs to be alone, to figure out what sucks.

Jiang Mingyun chased out the door with his down jacket and scarf in his arms. Luo Xuan felt awkward about the care he showed as a lover, and even seemed disgusted.

Before, why didn't he know that Jiang Mingyun was gay?

He shook off Jiang Mingyun's hand, he didn't want to wear the warm clothes Jiang Mingyun brought, and he didn't want Jiang Mingyun's sticky accommodating and liking.

Jiang Mingyun felt his indifference, and suddenly broke free from the unreal sense of drama. This was the first time that Deng Luoyi became sober for more than a year. He began to realize that Luo Xuan and Deng Luoyi were two independent of each other. personality.

He seems to be losing him.

"Roy..." He followed Deng Luoyi for two steps, stopped at the spot and looked at the resolutely leaving back, and swallowed his throat in a daze, "I love you."

"Nonsense!" Deng Luoyi retorted angrily, refusing to look back at him.

"Roy, me."

He interrupted Jiang Mingyun again, "Myron, don't let yourself be so stupid."

The lights of the taxi imprinted the shadow of the tree on the snow. Deng Luoyi slammed the door and asked the driver to drive. He left Jiang Mingyun with no words of farewell.

Deng Luoyi was very dizzy and out of energy. He slept in the hotel all night, closed his eyes and had several dreams in a row. After waking up, he basically forgot the plot of the dream, only remembering that he dreamed of his twin brother.

He didn't have a deep relationship with Deng Luoxuan. After all, they separated when they were young, and even fragmentary memories are vague.He rarely thinks of him, thinking of him is a meaningless thing, a waste of time.

The hotel butler delivered the newly bought clothes. Deng Luoyi stood in front of the mirror, wearing a tie and straightening his collar, trying to hide the dark red hickey on the side of his neck, but the hickey was too high, so he had to give up.

After finishing his hair, his forehead was exposed, and the browbones pressed the drooping eye ends, which made him tend to be ignorant and cold when his face was expressionless.

The female assistant whom he hadn't contacted for a long time was coming from the United States, and the plane hadn't landed yet, so he walked out of the hotel and planned to go to the company for a tour.

He told the taxi driver to go to Anli Building. This simple and rich driver was more talkative. He thought he was working in Anli, and asked him which school he graduated from, what major he studied, and how much his annual income is now.

"To tell you the truth, my son also belongs to Anli, but it's in the US headquarters, the Twin Towers." The driver told him proudly, "Didn't my son learn well since he was a boy? He loves to play. He's in high school, right? Then he suddenly became enlightened, and his class teacher told me that my child would be promising in the future, and he really would be, and he was in the top ten in the province for science in the college entrance examination."

"He now earns millions of dollars a year! He said he would take me and his mother to the United States, but I said I would not go, and I couldn't understand English, and I couldn't sit still at home. I'm not old yet, and I can Work."

Deng Luoyi smiled politely and said, "What a coincidence, I'm from the US headquarters."

"Yeah! Do you know my son? His name is Liu Jiahang. There are not many Chinese in your company."

"A lot, why not many, 80.00% of the China branch are Chinese employees."

During the conversation, the upper part of the Anli Building can already be seen across the tops of many buildings. The exterior of the cobalt blue glass building reflects the skylight and cloud shadows, shining brightly like a fragment of the sky.

"I mean there are not many Chinese in the headquarters."

"About half."

"Oh," the driver pondered over, "Your original boss, Deng An, is a Chinese. That guy is rich, and when he filed a divorce lawsuit with his wife, hey, it's time for you. Click to get off."

Deng Luoyi got out of the car with the corners of his mouth curled up. After turning around, his mouth was pursed into a straight line.

Anli is a technology company, and it is related to patented technology. Naturally, people can't enter indiscriminately. Deng Luoyi didn't have a work permit, so he was stopped by security personnel.

"Sir, hey, sir, our company is not yet working hours. If you have an appointment, please sit on the sofa over there for a while."

"Is Meng Changping here? I'll look for him."

Passing employees glanced at him curiously when they heard him call President Meng by his name.

The security guard is on business and will not disclose any information to him, "If you have an appointment, please sit on the sofa over there for a while."

"This is my company, and I will pay you." Deng Luoyi frowned, and when he heard that he needed to make an appointment, he spread his hands like a gentleman, showing a smile that was not a smile.

Meng Changping had just coaxed his granddaughter into kindergarten when he received a call from his assistant.

"Xiao Zhang, please wait in my office for a while, Mr. Deng, I will be right there."

He returned to the car in three steps and two steps, and before he could breathe, he ordered the driver to drive faster.

"...Mr. Meng...Good morning, Mr. Meng...Good morning, Mr. Meng...Mr. Meng..."

The employees in Anli Building greeted Meng Changping, but Meng Changping didn’t respond as usual. He didn’t know what Deng Luoyi was doing in China, but the only thing he was sure of was that Deng Luoyi went to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing.He worked with Deng Luoyi at the headquarters for a period of time. At that time, Deng Luoyi first took charge of the company's personnel department and laid off four middle and senior leaders within a week of taking office.Later, he was transferred from the global executive vice president to the president of the China region, which was also Deng Luoyi's intention.

"Mr. Meng, Mr. Deng is in the office. He doesn't seem very happy. I brought him a cup of coffee and didn't bother him anymore." Assistant Zhang has been with Meng Changping for seven or eight years, and his eyesight has long been developed. Now, although Deng Luoyi in his eyes smiled a little when he saw people, his eyes were cold, and those eyes were like two glass beads.

"Okay, I see." Meng Changping put his hand on the doorknob of the office, turned his head and ordered in a low voice, "Xiao Zhang, you stay outside, I will call you later, and my arrangements for this morning have been postponed." back."

The door opened, and Deng Luoyi by the window folded his arms and looked down at the ant-sized pedestrians on the street. He heard the sound and turned to face Meng Changping.

Deng An's son's eyes look exactly like Luo Xiaoyuan's, so pitiful and charming.Those buddies who followed Deng An to start a business didn't envy him for finding a beautiful wife. Deng An was poor and white, and Luo Xiaoyuan was such a beautiful woman, so willing to marry him was simply dizzy.What happened after the company went public was bad enough. Deng An begged her not to divorce for the sake of the two children. This woman was determined to divorce.

One word - silly.

Deng Luoyi doesn't follow his mother's mind, this kid is more able to make up his mind than his father.

"Luo Yi, how was your vacation? I heard that you have been playing in Iceland for a while. Is your insomnia still serious?" Meng Changping walked to the Chinese-style mahogany sofa and sat down. He filled the kettle with water and prepared to make tea.

"The original appearance is neither better nor worse." Deng Luoyi paced slowly, walked around behind the desk, and sat on Meng Changping's swivel chair, leaning against the back of the chair with his legs crossed, and swaying leisurely from side to side He shook his head, "Uncle Meng, I want the latest quarterly report for the China region."

"You came just in time. Xiao Zhang just printed the paper version for me yesterday, and it's on the top of the stack of documents on your right, that blue folder."

Deng Luoyi reached for the folder, put it on his lap, and flipped through the pages one by one. The sound of page turning and boiling water soon occupied the spacious and bright CEO's office.

The development situation of Anli in the past two years has been very good. After replacing several leaders, the update speed of the company's original main products has been accelerated from half a year to monthly. The growth rate of more than [-] is developing rapidly.

"What are you thinking about? I'm so worried about you, come here and try the tea made by Uncle Meng."

"I'm thinking...if Jiang Mingyun leaves, how much the company's market value will evaporate."

Meng Changping shook his hand, he missed the water in the cup and spilled it on his chest.

"Ten billion? Probably." Deng Luoyi closed the folder and looked up at the ceiling.

He was thinking about how much economic loss he would suffer if he and Jiang Mingyun fell out.Anli is a product-oriented company, and the R&D team of tens of thousands of people led by the CTO is the heart of the entire company.Jiang Mingyun's professional quality and work ability are impeccable. If he leaves, who can take the burden left behind?

Before Meng Changping could speak, he laughed himself, waved his hand and said, "I'm just kidding."

Meng Changping was indeed taken aback by Deng Luoyi's words. Jiang Mingyun wants to resign?How can you let him leave the company easily?This stock price must not dive!

He settled down, made a new pot of tea, and said with a kind smile on his lips, "Dr. Jiang has been here for nearly half a year, and I know him quite well. He is a real genius, Uncle Meng and I After living for more than 50 years, the first person I admire is your father, and the second is him."

"I don't feel ashamed if I don't say it in front of Dr. Jiang. He has high business intelligence, gentle and elegant, and is very good at being a man. If he hadn't been married, I would have wanted to recruit him as my son-in-law. Such a person, I can't let him go gone."

Meng Changping still hasn't figured out why Jiang Mingyun didn't stay in the R&D center of the headquarters, but came to Haicheng, an unfamiliar place. Rumor has it that he seems to have found a Chinese wife.At that time, the news spread in the company. Meng Changping's youngest daughter cried and howled ghostly while holding her mobile phone, and told him that Jiang Mingyun had broken the hearts of all the female compatriots. No chance.

"He's not married." Deng Luoyi propped his elbows on the table, resting his chin with one hand, drooping eyelids, seemed sleepy, and looked numb, "If your daughter likes it, arrange more meetings between them."

"Okay, I'll inquire again."

"You don't need to inquire, he is really not married, and he has no one in a relationship." Deng Luoyi received a text message from the female assistant, got up and left, "I won't waste Uncle Meng's time."

"Let's go, I'll see you off." Meng Changping stood up cheerfully.

The two walked out of Anli Building together. Meng Changping and Deng Luoyi's car were far away before turning back to the company.He ran into Jiang Mingyun in the elevator and told him that Deng Luoyi came to the company this morning and just left.

Meng Changping noticed Jiang Mingyun's dark circles, and said with concern: "Dr. Jiang didn't sleep well last night? Take care of your body. The group of people under him should also exercise more, so you should spend less time."

"Did you meet Luo Yi? He specifically mentioned you just now... Well, is everything going well? Are you used to living in China?"

Jiang Mingyun closed his eyes and said, "It's okay."

Where is the look of "it's okay", Meng Changping observed Jiang Mingyun openly and secretly, feeling that he was preoccupied, and suspected that he really planned to quit.

"Eve, I need a new therapist."

This was the first sentence Deng Luoyi said when he saw the female assistant.

His face was extremely gloomy, and his walk was windy.The airport is densely populated and the environment is noisy, but he does not understand it at all, and speaks so fast that it is hard to hear. Eve barely chased after him, trying to choose concise language to talk to him.

"It turns out that the more he treats me, the worse my condition will be."

"I opened my eyes... I found myself with Myron Jiang, God, it's all messed up..."

"What? Diana allowed me to be with Myron?! She's crazy! You're my assistant, not my mom's, and you should just listen to me."

"Eve, if you let me run around again, I will fire you."

It's a pity that people are not as good as heaven, and not long after Deng Luoyi said this, Eve lost him at the airport.
