Since Ye Tong insisted, the engagement banquet of the new helm of GC cannot be avoided no matter what.

Chen Weiyu is an excellent descendant in the intricate family system of the Chen family. Ye Kai listened to his assistant explain this to him when changing clothes.He has been a top student since he was a child, and after graduating from Columbia University, it was logical that after entering GC, he started as the general assistant in the tourism group, and rose all the way to the assistant president of the general group, and then took over as the president of the GC business group by airborne a year ago, becoming the GC business group—and the whole The head of GC's core profitable business.

"According to the calculation, he should be the cousin of the previous CEO." Assistant Siqi stood aside holding the ironed suit.

Ye Kai gradually intervened in the management and business of Ningtong from this year.Ye Tong intends to give him a mature and experienced assistant, but Ye Kai doesn't like the feeling of being led by the nose, so he simply recruits a new one himself, who has just graduated with a master's degree for a year, and is responsible for taking care of all his work and social details.

"Isn't it nearly forty?"

"41." Siqi stood beside him and put on his coat.

Although he was only twenty, his aura in formal clothes was hard to be underestimated. It was gorgeous and deep, with a restrained edge.Probably this is the son of aristocratic family who grew up in Vanity Fair.Although Siqi was several years older than him, she did not dare to be contemptuous in getting along with her.She didn't know that her young employer wasn't like this two years ago.

Ye Kai buttoned his cuff buttons, and a smile appeared on his lips: "It seems that the Chen family likes late marriage and late childbearing."

This "all" made Siqi dare not answer rashly.She took off the tie that the stylist matched: "Windsor knot?"

Ye Kai nodded.Siqi tied the bow tie for him very skillfully, and the two of them were very close, but there was no ambiguous atmosphere that made people daydream.It's just that occasionally when he glanced down at Siqi's focused expression, he would think of himself who tied the bow tie for Chen Youhan back then.At that time, he couldn't help tiptoeing to kiss him, and it often took 5 minutes to tie a tie.These fragments swept through Ye Kai's heart lightly and quickly, like snow that occasionally drifts outside the window in winter.

Ye Tong was ill, so the banquet was represented by Ye Zheng, accompanied by Ye Kai and Qu Jia.The meeting place was at Oriental Mandarin, and the Western-style buffet long dining table was arranged in a low-key manner revealing irrepressible luxury. Siqi accompanied him and introduced the guests in a low voice. The shadow has completely disappeared from GC and the Chen family.Surrounded by everyone, Chen Weiyu and his beautiful fiancée smiled and accepted blessings and compliments from all directions.

Ye Kai saw an acquaintance.It's Gu Xiu.He hasn't changed much, and he still looks gentle and elegant.Dazed, Ye Kai still thought that the person standing beside Gu Xiu was Chen Youhan.The curtain fell and the new drama opened. GC was no longer Chen Youhan's GC, and the person standing beside Gu Xiu was not Chen Youhan either.He was meticulously helping Chen Weiyu deal with it.

Chen Weiyu is a moderate-looking middle-aged man, slightly fat, with a protruding beer belly despite his efforts to tuck it in, well-regulated clothes and accessories, a slightly receding hairline on both sides, and a firm and steady handshake.He is 41, and it looks like 41.Unlike Chen Youhan, who always stays in the fuzzy boundary of his early thirties, he shakes hands and talks with people with a careless demeanor.

I don't know if there will be a gap between Gu Xiu.

There were a little less people, so Ye Kai went forward.

"Brother Weiyu, long time no see, congratulations." He stretched out a hand, and Chen Weiyu held it without hesitation, and patted him on the shoulder: "Xiao Kai, you are so tall in a blink of an eye!"

Ye Kai smiled: "My sister-in-law is so beautiful, she really is a talented woman."

"It's time for you to talk about someone!" Chen Weiyu touched the champagne glass with him, "Cissy will throw you the bouquet at the wedding banquet!"

"How can a bouquet of flowers be enough? If Xiaokai is like this, wouldn't the people chasing him line up from here to West Lin Avenue?" Fiancee Cissy teased.

The atmosphere was harmonious, and it was not at all obvious that this was their first meeting.

A new batch of guests swarmed up, and Ye Kai took advantage of the situation to withdraw.Siqi stuck out her tongue at the side: "It's famous."

"Your name is Cissy too?"

Siqi nodded: "Same name, different fate, when will God give me a domineering president?"

Ye Kai smiled when he heard her words, and said in a timely manner: "You can go and look for others, and I will help you find the one you like."

As soon as Siqi left, Gu Xiu chased after her.He just bid farewell to Chen Weiyu temporarily, and had to go back after a few words.

"Mr. Gu, I heard that you have been promoted." Ye Kai raised his champagne glass to him, "Congratulations."

Gu Xiu was taken aback for a moment by his alienated and alienated appearance.He followed the polite way: "The position remains the same, it's just a title promotion. You—" He wanted to ask if you were okay?But Ye Kai didn't look bad, but he was deeper and more mature than two years ago, and he couldn't find the shadow of the boy who invited the whole company to drink milk tea, so he changed his words: "You have changed a lot."

Ye Kai pursed his lips and smiled: "Things are different, you should have more feelings than me."

Gu Xiu felt offended.

Feeling anger and loss at the same time.

He couldn't forget the days Chen Youhan lived that year.Silence, crazy work, harsh and cruel squandering of his body.He cleaned up the mess and regrouped, like a spinning top, he didn't know how to rest, only slept three or four hours a day, and almost lived in the company.The only way to relax is to drink.Gu Xiu always went to pick up people, picking up a drunken man who could only repeat the word "Xiao Kai".Later, he gradually stopped calling him by his name, and he didn't say anything when he was drunk. He only said "missing you" over and over again on his one-year birthday.Gu Xiu recalled it, it was probably the year they broke up.

This reckless drinking method did not exercise a better capacity for alcohol, but instead got drunk faster and faster, getting deeper and deeper, and getting more and more confused.Finally, after sending him home again, he saw Chen Youhan hugging the messy bed sheet and bowing his body.Gu Xiu thought that he had spoiled his stomach from drinking, but when he approached, he found that Chen Youhan's eyes were closed, and the sheets were stained with dark stains from tears.He shrank his body, locked his eyebrows tightly, and let out a painful whimper from his throat.After listening to it twice, Gu Xiu realized that he was asking over and over again: "Baby, where are you?" Coincidentally, that day was another year of Chen Youhan's birthday.

In all fairness, Gu Xiu felt how sweet love was at the beginning, but at that moment she flinched from the pain.

He even thought that Chen Youhan shouldn't be like this.It would be better for him to spend his whole life in the midst of sensuality and carelessness than to end up like this.

The long-lost conversation broke up unhappy, and Gu Xiu clenched her fists and returned to Chen Weiyu's side.He still has responsibilities, even if he is full of resentment and frustration, he can only clean up his mood and put on a skilled smile again.

Ye Kai raised his wrist to look at his watch, as long as he showed his face at this kind of boring banquet, the task was completed, and it was time to go back.He put down his wine glass and scanned around the banquet hall. He didn't see Qu Jia and Ye Zheng, so he decided to smoke a cigarette first.He doesn't have any cravings for cigarettes, and only needs nicotine relief when he is in a bad mood.The smoking area is a garden atrium, shaded by branches and very private.When I saw the cigarette case, I couldn't help laughing at myself.Davidoff.It's not that he hasn't tried other things. Marlboro, Hilton, and Yunyan are all hard to swallow.

While smoking a cigarette, deal with the information accumulated in the mobile phone.The financial system is indeed better than GC. It only needs to make management decisions and seldom needs to make strategic changes. Lucas also got a message - this is of course, after all, he has been chasing him for more than a year, and he thought that he should be tired after a long time, but he didn't expect that because of his transfer to the China region, he chased him even more fiercely.

Lucas: Would you like a drink after the banquet?

It was posted about half an hour ago, and Ye Kai replied lukewarmly: Enough drinking.

Lucas seemed to be waiting for him, and immediately replied: Is there any chance to meet again tonight?

Ye Kai took a deep breath, unable to make a decision for a while.He locked the screen, walked towards the depths of the garden in the night with a cigarette between his hands.

"Weiyu is finally a winner in life. Not only is he promoted and rich, but his wife is also beautiful." Someone whispered about the protagonist of today's banquet.

"Isn't GC the one he won the most?"

"That's right, it's a koi in the workplace, and the company that Mr. Youhan saved after vomiting blood has just been handed over to him. As long as nothing happens, he can securely enter the board of directors in this position."

"I really think about it again."

The other person was silent for a moment, pretending to be relaxed and joking: "Hey, who is not?"

"Although scolding is a bit harsh."

The two laughed out loud, and one said with emotion: "But he invited all the old employees back."

The other sniffed: "Don't talk about it, I'm crying! Maybe Youhan always has his own business to do, and the GC shares are still there. To put it bluntly, Mr. Wei Yu is just helping him work to earn a living."

"I can do a little bit for Commander Yu."

The two of them laughed again: "As soon as Mr. Youhan leaves, there will be no orders for him to get off work."

"Why isn't he married yet?"

"Wait for the gods."

"Okay, he's here today, why don't you go and have a drink with him? It's good for your eyes."

The female voice romped away.

Ye Kai was taken aback, and the soot fell from his fingertips.Chen Youhan is here too?Why didn't he see him?He walked back almost reflexively, and slowed down after two hurried steps.

Why would he want to find Chen Youhan?Ye Kai, you forgot, you swore, before the end of your 20s, you will forget him.

There was a thick fog in the night.At the beginning of July, it was the end of the rainy season in Ning City, and even the air could feel the weight of dampness.The night mist permeates the vast lights, and the faint fragrance of Juliet floats in the mist.Ye Kai took out his mobile phone and decided to give Lucas an affirmative answer.He can see him and needs to see him.Maybe this approach is a bit despicable, but Lucas doesn't care, he is a resultant, not looking at the original intention.As long as Ye Kai is willing to accept him, he doesn't care whether to heal his wounds or avoid the wind - the only thing he can't do is that Ye Kai is still unwilling to accept him.

The light of the mobile phone screen was very dazzling in the night. He was typing, walking slower and slower, and suddenly bumped into someone.

Reflexively said "Sorry" The person who was hit turned around, held a champagne glass in his hand with a cigarette in his hand, stared at him blankly, smiled in surprise, and said gently: "Xiao Kai."

Ye Kai raised his eyes and locked the phone screen.

Chen Youhan said "Excuseme" to the person next to him, stretched out his hand and made a "please" gesture: "Let's talk?"

Only then did he realize that it was a foreigner by his side.Without thinking too much, he said, "So your English is so good."

Chen Youhan understated: "I have improved a little bit."

The night wind blows, blowing away the damp mist.The two of them walked slowly along the path hidden among the trees, and neither of them spoke for a while, but Chen Youhan said on his own initiative: "It's a surprise, I thought you wouldn't be there."

"Meet Chen Weiyu." He replied concisely.

"I see." Chen Youhan smiled.He wouldn't pretend to be sentimental, thinking that the encounter a few days ago could bring back Ye Kai's old love for a while.It's just that even if you are so awake, you will inevitably lose your heart for a moment.The palm is very damp, almost warming the wine.

"It's surprising that you are willing to walk with me." He said in a deep voice, "I thought you didn't want to have any contact with me."

"Brother Youhan, after all we have been friends for so many years." Ye Kai paused and said calmly, "Besides, the matter is over, I don't take it to heart."

Chen Youhan nodded, his voice became hoarse: "That's good."

"Let's not talk about this," Ye Kai pretended to be relaxed, "Why did you leave the GC?" He thought to himself, such concern should not be considered as crossing the line.

Chen Youhan turned his head and glanced at him: "You want to know?"

Ye Kai panicked for a moment, calmed down, and said: "No, it's just that GC is your career, and it's really not in line with your style to suddenly hand over to others."

Chen Youhan laughed: "I'm not willing to give up everything."

There was something in his words, but it made Ye Kai feel like being stung by a needle again.He replied silently in his heart, of course I was not included, because I had already been let out.

"Weiyu is more stable than me, and is more suitable for the current GC." Chen Youhan explained seriously, and smiled to ease the atmosphere: "I'm still on the board of directors, and I'm not penniless."

"You have been in the past two years..." Ye Kai gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, and indulged himself: "What are you busy with?"

"Building a house in the countryside." Chen Youhan smiled: "Are you surprised?"

Ye Kai was really startled, and couldn't even control his eyes to look at him: "Building a house in the countryside?"

Chen Youhan's eyes were gentle: "I'll tell you later when I have a chance."

The road has come to an end, it's time to return.Both of them involuntarily slowed down, Chen Youhan's Adam's apple rolled over and over again, and he repeated a sentence on the tip of his tongue several times before saying: "Did you change your number?"

He thought he had acted naturally enough, but he still alarmed Ye Kai.He was abnormally silent for the first time tonight, and sadness flashed in Chen Youhan's eyes. Fortunately, the night was dark enough, and Ye Kai didn't want to look at him at all. Only he knew his embarrassment.

"Forget it, I was the one who was abrupt." He pretended to be calm and swallowed the bitterness on the tip of his tongue.

"No," Ye Kai said softly, then raised the volume again and repeated: "No number changed."

Chen Youhan was caught off guard, the joy from his heart hit his eyes, and before he could react consciously, a smile had already drawn from the corner of his mouth.

"If there's anything... can I call you?"

Ye Kai was in a mess.But the second time we met, after chatting for more than ten sentences, his heart became uncomfortable, and even his breathing became suffocated.He lowered his head and quickened his pace: "It's ok... I don't want it anymore, there should be nothing between us."

He was right.In the past, even if we were not together, we could look for him openly anytime, anywhere, and even the word "miss you" could be easily pronounced.Now he is no one, just a classmate of Ye Kai's sister who is not very familiar with, and it is God's favor to meet him at the banquet.

The moment the glass door was pushed open, Ye Kai calmly let out a sigh of relief.He seemed to be a person who escaped from the dense forest. Everything under the crystal lamp was what he was familiar with, polite and hypocritical, not Chen Youhan's breathing, body temperature and breath.He remembered Ye Tong's advice, and said in a daze, "Grandpa wrote you two words. When it is convenient for you, I will send it to you."

Chen Youhan's heartbeat missed.He said quickly, "Anytime."

"Where do you live?"

"It's still there, Fanning."

Ye Kai said expressionlessly: "Don't get me wrong, it's really Grandpa who must let me deliver it in person."

Ye Tong wrote two pieces, one is "Zhiyuan" and the other is "Manjiu".He valued Chen Youhan too much, if Ye Jin didn't want to, otherwise the children would be soy sauce by now... Well, then Chen Youhan would always be his brother, and he didn't have to worry about him and live like a crazy person.

Chen Youhan looked at him deeply: "Did you know that this building has a total of 120 floors."

Ye Kai was slightly startled, and raised his eyes reflexively.The four eyes met, and all voices went away in an instant.Chen Youhan stood under a chandelier, gorgeous golden light sprinkled all over his body, in the shadow of his fragrant clothes, his deep and straight eyebrows only stared at him.Ye Kai's eyes met his, and his heart stopped beating for an instant.

Behind him, a waiter in a tuxedo was passing by. Chen Youhan took a glass of whiskey on ice, took a sip, paused, and said to Ye Kai: "The top floor is an open-air terrace, can I... watch the night view with you?"

Ye Kai swallowed, glanced away hastily.

Chen Youhan asked again: "Is it possible?"

He was very patient, but his eyes were unwilling to move away from Ye Kai's face.

After more than seven hundred days, how could he be willing to miss a single glance?

"No." Ye Kai settled down, "I'm sorry, I still have an appointment."

The crystal wine glass in his hand loosened and tightened again, Chen Youhan felt sore: "It's so late, do you still have an appointment?"

He guessed that he was humiliating himself.

It really is self-defeating.

Ye Kai said, "It's Lucas, sorry."

Chen Youhan nodded his head, let go of his tight eyes, looked down at the pattern of the carpet under his feet, and then smiled self-deprecatingly: "Have fun."

Ye Kai was unwilling to let him go.He looked directly at Chen Youhan: "Brother Youhan, don't do this."

Chen Youhan seemed to anticipate what he was going to say, and he clenched his cup tightly and turned around hastily: "I suddenly remembered that I still have something to explain to Gu Xiu——"

"It's all over." Ye Kai said in a low voice.

Chen Youhan's footsteps stopped, his side face was tense, and he didn't dare to turn his head.

"I'm already trying to like people."
