Refraction

Although it's easy to say "don't care" coldly, Chen Gong actually couldn't fall asleep after calling Zheng Yi to confirm "it's landed"—a little worried.

Chen Gong always feels: It seems that these rich second generations basically have no ability to take care of themselves, so they are a little worried about Zheng Yi—this is why Lao Wang informed Chen Gong that "Zheng Yi was sent to Chengdu to handle work with you" , Chen Gong would be particularly repulsive.

Chen Gong is used to doing things swiftly and swiftly by himself. He doesn't need to be disturbed by others, and he doesn't need to be stumbling because of other people's behavior habits.

If Zheng Yi was forced, then Chen Gong would have to devote 100% of his attention to him when he could focus 30% on his work.

Besides, Zheng Yi is still the treasure in the old Wang's hands.

Chen Gong also didn't want Zheng Yi to be here in case something happened, and in the end Lao Wang would settle the blame for "not taking good care of Mr. Zheng" on his own head.

In fact, Lao Wang was not careful enough to tell Chen Gong that "Zheng Yi landed very late and had no food to eat, so you help him prepare some food in advance"—it was Chen Gong's own idea to prepare some food for Zheng Yi.

Of course it wasn't for any "intimate" reason—Chen Gong simply didn't want this arrogant and arrogant son to play tricks because of the fatigue of the business trip, which would affect his work in the end.

There was another reason, Chen Gong didn't want to face it.

On September 9th, Chen Gong was temporarily dispatched to Chengdu for a scene survey, and Qiumang helped him book an evening flight that day.

At around 1:30 noon, after the human resources department signed the leave note, Chen Gong left the HALO company with his luggage, walked through the atrium, and was about to take the elevator downstairs.

The high-end office building where HALO is located is located on the third ring road of the capital, and the property is very good.But the only stupid thing is the pattern of [one elevator with twelve households]—in simple terms: the ratio of the number of elevators to the number of households on each floor; the larger the ratio, the smoother the traffic.

Normally, the elevators are enough. There are actually six elevators and two escalators on each floor, and the transportation is basically smooth. But today, due to temporary maintenance, the two elevators closest to HALO are out of service.

The suitcase itself was not heavy, and Chen Gong was too lazy to go around to the other side of the floor to take the elevator, so he simply walked into the escape route.

When I got to the fourth floor, I didn't turn the corner, and I heard someone from below talking and walking up.

It was a call from a passer-by, so of course Chen Gong didn't take it seriously; it was only when a name appeared in this passage that Chen Gong stopped in his tracks and was stunned.

——"That idiot Zheng Yi really thinks I like him now——I hinted at him to check out a room, and he's as high as a two-hundred-five!"

——"This kind of stupid son of a landlord's family is usually the best to catch!"

——"Ugh—don't say I have a picture in my mind!"

Chen Gong listened to the "very pertinent" evaluation of Zheng Yi, and subconsciously took a few steps back upstairs.

Although he didn't mean to eavesdrop on other people's speeches, but it was a coincidence—as the deputy of the person being discussed, he really met with the person being discussed, and Chen Gong didn't dare to predict what troubles would happen next.

Turning around and opening the door of the escape route on the fourth floor, Chen Gong planned to stay away from right and wrong.

But after hearing a narrow laugh, the man added: "But I can really catch him, I can't eat this handsome idiot - I will secretly leave an 'intimate video' or something Yes, it will be a little fishy in the future."

After hearing this sentence, Chen Gong's mind exploded with a "hum--".

If Zheng Yi was his good brother, and if he was calculated like this, Chen Gong would definitely go back to the escape route and punch that person twice, and then kick him down the stairs.

But Zheng Yi is his old enemy, the enemy who poured himself a drink in the morning, and the enemy who went to make a small report at noon to "expose" his absenteeism... Chen Gong had already imagined Zheng Yi in the "intimacy" within a moment. Video" after the incident when he left HALO disheartened.

—thought, but not pleasantly.

Chen Gong frowned tightly, his emotions fluctuated wildly - a trace of malice broke out in his heart, but he withered away in an instant.

Chen Gong couldn't imagine Zheng Yizhen's expression when he left HALO in despair if he was calculated to that point; he also couldn't imagine what kind of mentality he would have to have to sit in his office calmly after Zheng Yi left HALO because of this. Become the new director; I can't even imagine how embarrassed Zheng Yi, a guy who claims to be smart, will be when he finds out that he is being counted on emotionally...

There are too many scenes that I dare not imagine, but they are all played in Chen Gong's mind in turn...

After trying to regain consciousness, Chen Gong turned his head back.

Through the glass of the escape door, Chen Gong saw the back and profile of the man going upstairs.

Although he is not familiar with him, after all he has been in the company for many years, Chen Gong recognizes him, and wants to know that it is him—Zheng Yi's "gossip target" all along.

It seems to be called...Yang Yi.

The last call to Zheng Yi was busy bickering, so he forgot to explain the important things—Chen Gong also couldn't figure out why he would become stupid with Zheng Yi when he got involved with an idiot like Zheng Yi.

Taking a few sips of the remaining half-can of beer on the table by the bay window, Chen Gong called Zheng Yi again.

It was late at night, and when I looked out the window, there were no more pedestrians on the street, only the street lamps and some billboards were still on.

In fact, Chen Gong had long been yawning.

Chen Gong is a very self-disciplined person: go to bed early and get up early, exercise obediently, although he has the habit of smoking and drinking, but it is only a social bargaining chip to quickly mingle with others, never excessive.

On the other hand, Zheng Yi is completely on the contrary. He often comes to work with a hangover because he went to the bar and sang K the night before. This unconscious bomb, so the two will quarrel again.

When the prompt sounded for the third time, the call was connected.

Chen Gong picked up his indifferent attitude and said to the phone: "I need to check with you about some things in the scenic area in advance - I have to meet the people in the scenic area tomorrow morning, so it's best for the two of us to talk to each other before meeting them." Touch a..."

——In the middle of the conversation, I realized that there was a busy tone of being hung up on the phone.

Chen Gong took a puff of cigarette and let out a long breath.

Probably because I'm so bored with myself... That's why I don't even want to listen to the phone.

In fact, Chen Gong is not willing to bring the relationship to what it is today.

Zheng Yi's ability advantage just complements his own - Chen Gong has rich experience and Zheng Yi has outstanding professionalism; if the two of them can get along well as friends, maybe I can see from Zheng Yi how round and how round the "foreign moon" is. To some extent, I have expanded and improved my narrow vision...

Sometimes Chen Gong didn't understand why he was angry.

Although Zheng Yi came from behind and snatched the position of "Director", Chen Gong clearly made a promise to himself: At least he must be mature enough to maintain basic politeness with him.

It's easy to convince yourself, but it's hard to do it in practice - I care too much about some things, so I can't manage my resistance every time; I couldn't stand up and stop all of this.

It must be the old enemy who was not born right - Chen Gong recognized it.

Stuff out the cigarette butts in the ashtray, and prepare to send the pre-bought food for Zheng Yi to the reception downstairs.

Zheng Yi's mobile phone was cut off, and he sat on the trolley case with his heavy eyelids propped up, at a loss.

Suddenly remembered about... seven years ago, right?When I came out of the arrival gate of Heathrow Airport, looking at the scene of a foreign country in the middle of the night, I also felt the same way—blowing the hot wind at the end of summer night, but feeling cold inexplicably.

Looking up at the hotel building, there are only four or five windows that are lit.

Sighing, Zheng Yi stood up.

——"Where are you going?"

This familiar indifferent voice came from behind.

Zheng Yi turned his head, and Chen Gong came out from the hotel entrance.

Her hair seemed to have just been washed and was only roughly dried with a towel, and she was wearing a T-shirt whose neckline had been washed loose.

Zheng stared at him for a moment, and then his sleepy and sluggish mind remembered what he asked himself: "Ah... just walk around."

"Why didn't you answer the phone?"

"Shut down..."

"What are you doing if you don't check in so late?"

"I lost my ID card."

"Then... Let the front desk accommodate you—are you planning to go until six o'clock? What if you miss work?"

After being questioned by Chen Gong for a long time, Zheng Yi suddenly felt a little ridiculous-his own embarrassment at the moment was completely displayed in front of Chen Gong's eyes.Although in the past, the principal, deputy, and director were at odds, but under such a "difficult" situation, why should the attitude of "business as usual" be carried out so thoroughly...

Zheng Yi sneered and replied to Chen Gong: "None of your business?"

Chen Gong is still indifferent: "You can do whatever you like, it's none of my business, as long as you don't delay work, everything can be discussed. I called you to tell you to remember to bring your camera tomorrow - now the notice has arrived. ID card You can deal with those messy things yourself, and I will go back to sleep."

Zheng Yi was a little weak to deal with him: "Okay."

Then Chen Gong turned around and left.

Zheng Yi felt a little sour.He stared out of nowhere to slow down the heat rushing up his forehead.

He was in a bad mood, but it wasn't because of Chen Gong's indifference, nor was it because of work pressure, nor was it because of living on the streets... He had encountered worse things, and he could handle them on his own.

The sore nose is just because I am too hungry, and my stomach feels a little nauseous.

Zheng Yi is a very emotional person.

Unlike Chen Gong, who has been paralyzed all year round, Zheng Yi's emotions are always shown unceremoniously - when he sees something annoying, he trembles with anger and goes to fight for justice; watching tragic movies , he was cursing and wiping away his tears; he was teased by jokes while swiping Weibo, and even in a company meeting, he couldn't restrain his uncontrollable laughter.

So when I'm hungry, I have a sore nose, nothing wrong with it.

In fact, sometimes Zheng Yi can understand why Chen Gong is so indifferent to him.

——The position of Director of the Visual Department is the position that Chen Gong has been working hard to achieve after six years in HALOstudio; seeing that he has reached the point where he can easily get it, but he was cut off because of Zheng Yi's entry-everyone is angry.

Thinking of this, Zheng Yi let out a secret "tch" again: "...the society is so cruel, although I'm sorry, but with my beautiful resume and professional ability, I will do my part to be the director..."

——The workplace is not a pear after all, and no one can carry forward the traditional virtue of "modest and harmonious" on the things that he cares most about.

Zheng Yi knows that he is a reckless and emotional person, but because of this he is also a person who is easily moved - if Chen Gong hadn't made a bad face with him frequently at the beginning, maybe the two of them could still become good friends.But Chen Gong wanted to fight against him——this made the young master's temperamental Zheng Yi really unable to accept it. He could laugh at him when he hit a wall once, swallow his anger when he hit a wall twice, and Zheng Yi had to go berserk when he hit a wall three times.

To blame...just blame Chen Gong for being too small-minded.

Zheng Yi can understand him, but he can't understand him——Chen Gong: the only criterion for judging things is profit, and the desire to win and lose is too heavy...

His key word in life is "success".

Even this hope was clearly marked in his name.

Being left alone in the summer night, Zheng Yi thought about it - it seemed impossible to go back to the hotel and ask the girl at the front desk to open a room in a flexible manner.

But I still went back to the hotel, and went to the front desk to ask for the hamburger that Chen Gong left for me. While eating, I planned to take a stroll with the trolley case to see if there was any 24-hour fast food restaurant. foot.

The rest... Wait until the phone is fully charged and turned on before trying to find a solution.

Pulling the luggage down the steps in front of the hotel, he blindly turned to the right.

But I saw Chen Gong again - squatting and smoking a cigarette under the eaves on the right corner, he looked like a little hooligan who made a living by robbery on the street.

When he saw Chen Gong, Zheng Yi was eating the hamburger Chen Gong bought for him, and felt a little ashamed... But after thinking about it, it was reimbursed to the company anyway, so he couldn't take advantage of Chen Gong, so he continued to eat the hamburger and pretended to be He didn't see Chen Gong's face, so he planned to walk straight past him.

When Chen Gong passed by, he stood up and grabbed the suitcase.

Chen Gong pinched his cigarette and didn't look at Zheng Yi: "Thinking about it, I'm still afraid that you will affect my work tomorrow - so, you can sleep in my room for the night - no need to register for ID card, we both slipped in through the back door of the hotel. "

Zheng Yi felt his nose sore again, probably because a hamburger wasn't enough to fill his stomach.

I wanted to sneer and then say a few words to ridicule Chen Gong, but when the sneer passed through the nasal cavity, it turned into a sneer—like a grievance "um".

Realizing that he failed to manage this "sneer" well, Zheng Yi wanted to die on the spot.

But Chen Gong didn't care.

He only held Zheng Yi's suitcase, threw Zheng Yi a back and said, "That's how I've taken care of you—when Old Wang asks later, just don't speak ill of me."
