not a decent stand-in

At midnight in Central, the neon lights are still bright.

Zuo Tong rubbed the sore corners of his eyes, and said: "Everyone has worked hard, let's end the meeting..."

Everyone packed up their things and left, leaving only Steven on the seat.

Zuo Tong flipped through the meeting minutes and asked casually, "What's the matter?"

Steven shook his head helplessly: "You abused yourself when you disagreed with me, you really should treat it well!"

"What do you mean?"

"What do you mean? You've been in meetings all day, and you don't eat or drink. Do you really think you're hardcore?"

"I don't have much appetite..." Zuo Tong lowered his head and went about his own business without even raising his head.

"Then you can't be in a bad mood and just abuse us?"

Hearing Steven's complaint, Zuo Tong finally raised his head.

"You think everyone can't see it?" Steven laughed, "I guess they are talking bad about you while eating supper right now!"

Zuo Tong glanced at him sideways, and said indifferently, "Isn't this the correct way to open the big devil?"

"So you know your new nickname? Is this considered revenge..."

"I don't have that much free time..."

Zuo Tong packed up his things, took out his phone and took a look, it was almost twelve o'clock.

Things in the Hong Kong branch are going well, but the price is that he has to work overtime every day until late at night before leaving.

In terms of business, Zuo Tong can be regarded as a very talented person. He was successful at a young age, and his business path has always been relatively smooth.

But talent alone is clearly not enough for sustained success.

Since the start of his university career, he only sleeps for four or five hours a day.

This kind of workaholic mode is the normal state of Boss Zuo's life.

The two came out of the meeting room together, Steven's phone rang suddenly, he answered it and listened to a few words, his expression changed.

"Okay, I see, send the things to my email first, and I will call you back later..."

"what happened?"

Zuo Tong saw that his expression was serious, so he asked, "Which careless master was followed by the paparazzi in the middle of the night?"

Steven opened the email on his phone, found a few photos, and handed them to Zuo Tong.

"A reporter took pictures downstairs of her two days ago, take a look!"

Zuo Tong picked it up, turned it over twice, his face immediately darkened, and asked with a frown, "What's going on?"

In the photo, a man and a woman are sitting in a limousine with an extremely intimate posture. From the angle of the photo, they seem to be kissing.

The woman's face was clearly seen, it was Qin Jiaqi, the popular actress.

But that man only has a back view, but Zuo Tong recognized Xiang Yindong at a glance.

"The PR department asked Qin Jiaqi, saying that Mr. Xiang sent her to a banquet..."

"I'm asking, why was it photographed?" Zuo Tong's face was dark.

Steven froze for a moment, and explained: "Someone has been talking to Qin Jiaqi recently, she should know that someone is staying downstairs, so..."

"She was photographed on purpose?"

"She told the public relations department that she doesn't mind being exposed. You know, her new movie is about to be released..."

Zuo Tong frowned, this Qin Jiaqi was more powerful than he thought.

However, Xiang Yindong, if he knew that he had become a tool for others to stir up scandals, how would he feel?

The corner of Zuo Tong's mouth twitched, and he put on a self-deprecating smile.

These photos are really the best irony. Will people who keep saying that they will never turn back will renege on their promises and become fat?

Steven watched his reaction carefully, and suggested: "It's harmless if this kind of scandal breaks out. The photo looks like a loan, and it can't stand up to scrutiny. Everyone's lively after two days, it's just... It's about... Mr. Xiang, so, it's up to you to decide!"

Zuo Tong rubbed the corners of his eyebrows, returned the phone to him, and said lightly: "Then let her go, this matter is not harmful to us..."

Steven nodded, looking at the back of Zuo Tong leaving, feeling a little panicked for some reason.

"Ah! Ahh!"

Xiang Yindong sneezed several times in a row, stretched out his hand and rubbed his nose, always feeling that someone was saying something bad about him.

Guan Peng at the side handed over another glass of wine and said with a smile, "Another glass?"

Xiang Yindong waved his hand, and said firmly: "I can't drink anymore, you go on, I have to go back to sleep, I have to go to work tomorrow!"

"Hey...don't go, this is just the beginning!" Guan Peng wanted to pull him, but was glared at by the girl next to him, and quickly let go.

"Young Master Xiang is very preoccupied today, let's go home and have a good rest, and play together next time!" The girl waved her hand and said with a smile, "Nice to meet you!"

"Me too!" Xiang Yindong said with a smile, "In the future, Guan Peng will have you watching over us, so we can rest assured!"

"Hey, what nonsense are you two talking about?"

"Can you handle it?"

The two spoke in unison, and they both gave Guan Peng a look.

"Well, you two are still on the united front, what good life will I have in the future..." Guan Peng cried and mourned.

"Your happy life has just begun!" The girl tugged at Guan Peng's ear.

Seeing that the two were having trouble again, Xiang Yindong shook his head, turned around and walked out of "Joys".

It seems that Guan Peng really met his nemesis this time. His girlfriend, a prosecutor who came on a blind date, is a sassy girlfriend tailor-made for him, which makes people a little envious.

Tonight is Guan Peng's birthday party, and by the way, I will introduce my girlfriend to everyone.

Xiang Yindong didn't want to come at first, but recently he felt a little irritable, so he came to have a drink or two.

Zuo Tong went to Hong Kong these two days, and he actually felt empty, and he couldn't even raise his energy to fight wits and courage in the company.

This kind of emotion has never been seen in the past twenty years.

In the taxi, he looked at the gradually dimming streets of the capital city, and listened to the late-night programs on the radio, feeling as if he was in another world.

He used to think that only by finding out the truth of the matter could he comfort his reborn soul.

But the process of approaching the truth step by step did not bring him pleasure, but only made him feel sad.

Those who want to kill him may be enemies, or acquaintances, or even relatives.

But all of them were people who lied to him and hated him.

Why on earth is he wasting his time for these people?

But if all the truth is meaningless, what is the purpose of God to let him live again?

Xiang Yindong couldn't help smiling wryly, if he had to find a reason, he would rather let him know Zuo Tong's secret.

At least, that's love, not cheating and hurting...

The next morning, the hangover Xiang Yindong had a splitting headache, leaned on the back of the chair, and kept rubbing his temples.

Alex joked: "Why, were you scared by Miss Qin's draft?"

Xiang Yindong was taken aback for a moment, then smiled wryly.

He received calls from many friends early in the morning asking about his affair with Qin Jiaqi.

At this moment, news of their "sweet date" is everywhere on the Internet, and there are pictures showing the truth, with photos of their "hot kiss" in the car attached.

All kinds of gossip are conclusive, and the identity of his "rich second generation" boyfriend has been analyzed in detail.

He finally made it to the "headlines".

In fact, asking Qin Jiaqi for help this time is also a kind of emotional exploitation. He will try his best to satisfy the other party's reward.

But Qin Jiaqi is obviously not the innocent little girl she used to be. Knowing that there is no possibility between them, she directly classifies him as an "available resource".

Xiang Yindong was clear-eyed in her heart, she must have known that someone was secretly taking pictures at that time, so she let herself fasten her seat belt.

Unexpectedly, the old fox would also be tricked one day.

Alex took out an envelope and handed it to him, and said with a smile, "I've seen all the photos, Miss Qin's photography skills are not bad!"

Xiang Yindong smiled, and nodded in agreement: "Being followed by paparazzi a lot, you can learn some basic skills like candid shots!"

Alex couldn't help but teased: "Why, it's very unconvinced to be planted in the hands of a woman?"

Xiang Yindong disapproved: "Let her go, who told us to use her first?"

Alex nodded: "Indeed, she also contributed a lot this time!"

Xiang Yindong took those photos and flipped through them one by one.

Xiang Chenyu's birthday dinner was really bustling. Apart from the playboys from all walks of life, there were also many friends from the business world present to congratulate him.

In order to pave the way for this prodigal son, his uncle also took great pains.

"Qian Yueming has really gone?" Xiang Yindong turned to a photo and stopped suddenly. In the photo, Xiang Chenyu and a middle-aged man were hugging each other, talking happily.

"That's right, there are more interesting things to come later..." Alex raised his eyebrows, showing off.

Xiang Yindong scrolled down, and a few group photos by the swimming pool attracted him, but what he was interested in were only the figures in the background in the distance.

In the corner of the garden, two men were whispering.

He recognized at a glance that one of them was Qian Yueming, and the other was the director of the company, Jiang Yuanqing.

"Jiang Yuanqing?"

Alex nodded: "Judging from the time of a few photos, they chatted for at least half an hour, it doesn't look like they just met."

Xiang Yindong frowned. Could it be that Jiang Yuanqing was the one who provided inside information to Qian Yueming?

Jiang Yuanqing is now strongly supporting the lithium battery project. Obviously, he is on the side with Xiang Huai'en. Was it premeditated?

Qian Yueming deliberately approached Xiang Chenyu, and what was his intention?

"Go ahead and check Jiang Yuanqing's financial situation in the recent period, so you can know if he has any problems."

"Okay!" Alex stood up, but was stopped by Xiang Yindong when he was about to leave.

"I heard some gossip yesterday about Baoyue's President Wang..." Xiang Yindong's mouth slightly curled up, "It seems that our chance has come..."

After sharing the information he just got with Alex, he said with a smile: "If necessary, you can ask your hacker friend for help..."

After hearing this, Alex was a little worried, and asked with a serious expression: "The lethality of doing this is really great. Will it have a negative impact on the company?"

"It is indeed a double-edged sword... However, the sword has been unsheathed. Wouldn't it be worthwhile not to completely eradicate the enemy?"

"Okay, you are the boss, you call the shots!"

Alex shrugged and had no objection.

After all, the most powerful thing about his senior brother is that he knows what kind of knife to use to kill what kind of person.
