The Heart of a Smith

Under the pressure of Li Sui, the progress of Musheng's project has slowed down, as if to help, the recent weather is also very good, the cold wind blows, and this year's first snow has fallen down one after another.

In order to ensure safety, the government also issued a document to suspend all high-altitude operations. In this way, even Liu Xingtian had no choice but to secretly engage in some trivial actions.

According to Dongyan's practice, before the shareholder meeting is held, the board of directors must first hold a self-examination meeting, which requires Lu Shang to attend in person. Li Sui was a little hesitant at first, and wanted to find a way to prevaricate it. Unexpectedly, when he got up in the morning, Lu Shang changed it by himself. Undressed, ready to go with him.

"Is there any problem with your eyes?" Before going out, Li Sui was still worried about his body.

"Fortunately, I always have to show up once a year." Lu Shang put on his glasses and smiled slightly. "Otherwise, someone would suspect what you did to me."

Li Sui was delighted, and leaned over to touch his waist ambiguously, whispering in his ear: "What did I do to you, huh?"

Uncle Yuan coughed uncomfortably at the side: "The time is almost up."

The two looked at each other and smiled, each averting their eyes.

Since Dongyan was handed over to Li Sui, Lu Shang gradually let go, especially in the past year, he hardly participated in Dongyan's various affairs. When he came out of the elevator, he could clearly feel that the company was in order. Not at all worse than when he was there.

The board of directors are all members of the board of directors, and the meeting went smoothly. Although Lu Shang was present, he basically just observed and made some comments occasionally.Li Sui's eyes never shifted from Lu Shang's body, fearing that he would insist, he arranged several important reports in the morning, and asked Uncle Yuan to send him back after the meeting.

"You don't want me to come this afternoon?"

"No, it's all trivial matters. You go back and take a good nap, and don't forget to take the medicine." Li Sui reminded.

It was close to lunch, and it was the rush hour for commuting. The road was so congested that I couldn't move ten meters in one minute. When I drove into the downtown area, the car stopped directly.

Uncle Yuan got out of the car and took a look. He came back and said that there was a series of car accidents ahead, and he might not be able to leave for a while.It's very close to Ruige Hospital, Lu Shang thought about it and got out of the car.

"Should I go to Dr. Liang? I haven't got the results of the last physical examination yet."

"Well, take it by the way, lest Li Sui have to run away again."

Uncle Yuan led Lu Shang out of the elevator, Liang Zirui was looking at something, the door was open, Lu Shang came to visit suddenly, he was unprepared for a moment, he was stunned for a while: "Why are you here, rare visitor."

"Come and care for the single dog." Lu Shang's unfocused gaze passed over his hand.

Liang Zirui closed the notebook calmly: "Single dogs also have human rights, why is Li Sui willing to let you go out by yourself today?"

"He didn't restrict my personal freedom," Lu Shang smiled lightly, "I'm passing by, and I'm here to get the test results."

"What's the rush?" Liang Zirui looked down at his watch, got up and took off his white coat, "it's dinner time, you come in here rarely, I have to treat you to a meal."

Lu Shang didn't refuse either, and gave Uncle Yuan a hint with his hand before leaving.

He knew Liang Zirui too well. When Liang Zirui's father was treating his father, they would play together. Lu Shang didn't have many friends at that time, and Liang Zirui was the only one who didn't think he talked too little and dared to drag him around all day long. Forced.It is precisely because of the acquaintance that the other party makes a small change, and he can understand what it means.

When he just entered the door, Liang Zirui's voice visibly trembled, this was his unique expression when he was guilty and nervous.After contacting him, he pretended to be calm and closed the notebook. Almost at the same time, Lu Shang judged that what Liang Zirui was holding must have something to do with him, and he didn't want him to know.

After a meal, Lu Shang's mind was a little messed up, and somehow he thought of them when they were young.When he was four or five years old, Dr. Liang brought Xiao Liang Zirui with him under his arm every time he made a diagnosis. When the adults were checking the pulse inside, he was making trouble and also checking Lu Shang's pulse.

"Oh, you have a terminal illness and are dying."

"Ari, don't talk nonsense!" Old Doctor Liang threw out a slipper.

A child speaks without restraint, but when he doesn't want to, it becomes a prophecy. When he was five years old, Lu Shang really found out he had a heart attack.For this, Liang Zirui has always been deeply guilty, always thinking that Lu Shang's disease was caused by his own nonsense, so he has been devoting himself to heart disease research for many years, even though he grew up and knew that Lu Shang was congenital. It doesn't matter.

In the past few years, Lu Shang's condition has become more and more serious, but no matter whether it is good or bad, Liang Zirui has always been confiding in him. Lu Shang really can't think of what kind of serious examination results will make this little boy want to hide it from him. .

He is not afraid of death, nor is he afraid of pain, the only thing that scares him in this world is making Li Sui sad.

"What are you thinking? You eat so seriously every time you eat," Liang Zirui knocked on his bowl with a chicken bone, "Hey, did you guys quarrel? No wonder you came here by yourself today..."

"I can't tell the difference between a quarrel," Lu Shang deliberately provoked him, "Arguing at the head of the bed and at the end of the bed, have you heard of it?"

"you……"

Back in the car, Uncle Yuan's expression was not very good. Lu Shang closed the door and asked, "What is it?"

Uncle Yuan seemed a little hesitant, but handed him the phone anyway.

Lu Shang glanced at him, paused, and didn't answer: "I can't see, is the result bad?"

"No," Uncle Yuan wondered, "This is not the result of a physical examination, but an experiment record."

Lu Shang frowned slightly: "Read it and listen."

Uncle Yuan had no choice but to open the photo and began to read the content above.

Lu Shang listened, and slowly leaned back in the chair. His heart seemed to be stimulated, and he felt violent palpitations. He covered his heart with difficulty, and reached for the medicine bottle with trembling hands.

Uncle Yuan hurriedly handed him the first aid spray.

Xiao Xin Pain developed quickly, and when the unbearable pain passed, Lu Shang weakly opened his eyes: "Uncle Yuan..."

Uncle Yuan's eyes were heavy: "I don't think it should be Dr. Liang's idea."

Lu Shang closed his eyes, his chest heaved violently, and his face lost all color: "I know, he doesn't have the guts, it's Li Sui..."

Uncle Yuan asked: "Do you want to call Xiao Li back?"

Lu Shang rested his hands on his forehead, his eyes were mournful, and he didn't say a word for a long time.

After the meeting, it was already dark, there was fog on the way back, the visibility on the road was very low, there were not many pedestrians on the street, and all the vendors closed their stalls, Li Sui slowed down his car and called Lu Shang.

There was no one there, Li Sui waited for a while, guessing that Lu Shang had fallen asleep and was about to hang up when the phone was picked up.

"Sleeping?" He couldn't help laughing.

"En." Lu Shang's voice was hoarse, through the processing of the microphone, a single syllable made Li Sui hear a hint of laziness.He liked this feeling from the bottom of his heart, as if they were an old couple, he was working outside to support his family, and Lu Shang was waiting for him to come back at home.

"Is the meeting over? When will you be back?" Lu Shang's tone was erratic.

"On the way," Li Sui turned a corner, "Have you had dinner yet? There's a soup restaurant on the East Street. I heard it's delicious. Shall I bring you some?"

"Just bring yourself back," Lu Shang paused, "Did the meeting go well?"

"Fortunately, Liu Xingtian came over this afternoon, but he's always been like that, so it's not surprising, I—" He was talking, when a child suddenly broke into his vision in front of him, he clenched his hands, and immediately slammed on the brakes .

Fortunately, Li Sui reacted quickly, and the car stopped half an arm's length away. The child on the ground was obviously frightened, lying on the ground with a pale face.

Li Sui hurriedly loosened his seat belt and opened the door to get out of the car: "Are you all right?"

The child was so frightened that he looked at him with wide eyes and forgot to cry.

Li Sui looked at him, this familiar look made him startled.

Not far away, a young woman ran over on high heels, she should be the child's mother, instead of looking at Li Sui, she pulled the child up angrily, slapped her face and cursed: "Are you blind or stupid? See the car coming and run forward! Do you want to die? Just like your father who is a dead ghost, just hit and die!"

The child was hurt by the beating, and after realizing it, he came back to his senses and bit his lower lip without saying a word, with tears streaming down his face, but he didn't cry out.

Li Sui lightly stopped him: "The child is still young."

The woman gasped heavily, glanced at Li Sui, turned around and left.

The child was stunned for two seconds, then quickly got up and followed, as if afraid of being left behind: "Mom...don't leave me..."

"Don't leave me..."

Li Sui stood where he was, watching the mother and child gradually go away and disappear into the mist, a faint astringency slowly surged in his heart, as if an emotion that had been delayed for many years, neither strong nor violent , but let his heart suddenly collapse a hole.

These days, he has been deliberately avoiding this matter, trying to make himself behave the same as in the past, but once the things hidden deep in his memory are dug out, the soul will be imprinted with time, how can it be so easy Tuck it back.

Back in the car, Li Sui collected his emotions and went on the road again. After driving for a while, he found that the car phone was still showing that he was in a call, and there was no sound from the other end. Lu Shang probably fell asleep again, so he simply pressed the hang up button.

All the way home, Li Sui parked the car. As soon as he walked to the front yard, he saw an orange wall lamp lit up in the hallway that was supposed to be dark. Lu Shang was sitting under the lamp. He was still wearing pajamas. Thick blanket, heard the sound, looked up at him.

"What are you doing sitting here?" Li Sui was astonished.

"Wait for you."

Li Sui was taken aback for a moment.

"I heard a sudden brake on the phone." Lu Shang added.

Li Sui looked at him, the light in the foyer was not strong, it just happened to fall on Lu Shang's head, his hair was illuminated very fluffy, and even the soft down on the side of his neck could be seen.

Lu Shang couldn't see with his eyes, so the lamp was naturally turned on for him. Through this light, Li Sui suddenly felt a strong sourness in his heart.

God took some things from him, but he didn't forget to give him something else.Childhood experience was once a wound he couldn't face, especially after many years, the sense of loss fermented by the years often entangled in his heart like a spider's thread, lingering in a nightmare.

But at this moment, he was standing in this quiet courtyard, looking at the person in front of him, he felt that all the pain seemed to have been compensated, and the gap was filled to the brim.

"I'm fine." Li Sui stepped forward to hold his hand.

The palms were very cold, Li Sui pinched it, and guessed that Lu Shang wanted to go out to find him, but unfortunately his eyesight was not convenient, so he had to wait at the door.

Lu Shang was obviously worried, so he pulled him to his side, touched him carefully, and made sure that nothing happened, so he was relieved.

During this period, Li Sui has been very obedient, allowing him to move on his body, and when he was relieved, he stepped forward and hugged him into his arms.

"Lu Shang," Li Sui made up his mind after a long time of mental construction, and said, "There is something I want to confess to you."

Lu Shang tilted his ears, showing a listening posture.

"Actually, I... have already remembered things from my childhood."

The surroundings were suddenly quiet, Li Sui waited for a few seconds, but before Lu Shang's response, he stepped back a little, and saw Lu Shang's eyes were slightly red, looking at him intently.

Li Sui's heart skipped a beat: "You...you know?"

Lu Shang's hand holding Li Sui gradually tightened. After a long silence, he closed his eyes, hugged him lightly, and touched the back of his neck: "Does the test medicine hurt? Huh?"

Li Sui was stunned, a violent storm was set off in his mind, and he replied almost mechanically: "It doesn't hurt."

"How could it not hurt?" Lu Shang was so distressed that he hugged him tightly, as if he was afraid, "Have you ever thought about what to do in case of an accident? Their doctors are crazy, you just ignore them." What."

Li Sui felt uncomfortable and uneasy, so he didn't speak at all, and buried his head in Lu Shang's shoulder.

"Is there any sequelae? Did Dr. Liang give you a thorough examination?" Lu Shang touched him again, as if he was very uncertain.

"It's okay, I'm fine." Li Sui wrapped his fidgeting hands into his arms, "Lu Shang, I'm actually very happy, so we met each other when we were young."

After Lu Shang heard this, his eyes rolled with emotion, and he said in a low voice for a while, "I'm sorry."

"It has nothing to do with you, don't say that." Li Sui was afraid of hearing him say this.

Lu Shang shook his head: "If it wasn't for my father, maybe you now..."

"Maybe I can't hold you like this now," Li Sui tightened his hands, "Your father and my mother, that's what happened in the previous generation, I only care about one problem now, you are because of guilt or pity Did I just come with me?"

"of course not."

Li Sui already knew this answer in his heart, but when he heard Lu Shang say it with his own ears, he still couldn't help but smile warmly: "That's enough."

The two hugged each other for a moment, Li Sui let go of him, and asked hesitantly, "My father, is he still alive?"

"Alive, do you want to see him?"

"Where is he?"

"He's serving time in prison."

Li Sui was a little surprised: "How long does he have left in prison?"

After thinking about it: "More than a year."

"When he comes out, he will be almost 70 years old."

"Are you going to pick him up?"

"Yes," Li Sui said, "I will make arrangements for his old age, but I won't go to see him."

For this father, he probably can only do his duty, not filial piety. Although he once gave him a little warmth when he was young, the tragedy of his mother's life and the pain throughout his childhood were also caused by this man. of.What lay between them was a pain that could never be healed. Forgiving his mother too easily for the life he had sacrificed for him made him unable to clear up the past.

"Just do what you want." Lu Shang expressed his understanding.

After sleeping until midnight, Lu Shang woke up slowly. Ever since he saw the experiment report, he had been in a state of uneasy mood. Li Sui ran around during the day, but Lu Shang didn't want to disturb him, so he lay still on the bed.There was a warm breath on the back of his neck, sweeping over his neck regularly, and in the darkness, the hands of the two were tightly held even in deep sleep, all of which made him feel at ease.

He lightly touched Li Sui's arm and touched the site of the intravenous injection. He couldn't feel anything there anymore. Lu Shang rubbed it repeatedly, only to feel the astringency in his throat. After a long silence, he let out a cry in the dark night. A faint sigh.

The next day, as soon as Li Sui left Lu's house, he called Liang Zirui on the phone, wanting to find out, but Liang Zirui was more confused than him.

"What? Are you sure?"

Just as Li Sui was about to speak, he caught a glimpse of Uncle Yuan turning his head in front of him, and suddenly understood the reason: "It's nothing, we'll talk about it later."

The car was driving peacefully on the road, neither of them spoke.

"According to the schedule, it's time to draw up the detailed rules for the shareholders' meeting this week." Uncle Yuan broke the silence.

Li Sui looked out the window: "It's going to snow again."

The sky was overcast, the clouds were low, and the air seemed to be covered with a layer of gray dust, which made it look cold and damp.

"Yeah, the news said that this year is the coldest winter in 50 years. I'm afraid it will be difficult."

Li Sui scratched at random with his fingers on the misted glass window, and quickly painted it into a ball, then raised his head and said, "Uncle Yuan, please spare me two weeks for my itinerary during the Chinese New Year. I want to take Lu business trip."

Uncle Yuan looked back at him. Although he was a little surprised by his decision, he didn't object.

This year, Dongyan's top management has changed a lot, and people in the company are in panic. They are afraid that if they stand in the wrong line, they will be put on shoes. Even Li Sui feels the pressure.

Li Sui knew that going on like this was not an option, he had to find ways to get back the shares taken by Liu Xingtian, only with the shares in his hands would he have the right to speak.

After the morning meeting in the morning, he left Xu Weilan behind, and the two discussed the transfer of shares.

"The idea is good, but it is too difficult to implement. They will not agree to transfer the shares to you. If you want to get the shares, you must first change the articles of association. You can change the articles of association, and you also need to vote through the shareholders meeting. OK."

"Maybe, I can try to convince them."

Xu Weilan shook her head: "Your idea is too naive, and you will only humiliate yourself. Those people are all in collusion with Liu Xingtian, and they only look at the benefits."

"At least try. Since Liu Xingtian can visit the thatched cottage to beg the Meng family, why can't I also go?"

Xu Weilan was in a dilemma, he really didn't want to see such a situation of begging for help, and I believe that Lu Shang would not be willing either: "No need, you don't have to do that, son, we appreciate your kindness, but This is too bullying, and Lu Shang will not agree to it."

Li Sui still didn't give up: "The big shareholders can't do it, so the small shareholders can, at least let me try."

Xu Weilan was in a dilemma. Li Sui was no less stubborn than Lu Shang. If he wasn't allowed to try, he probably wouldn't give up. Xu Weilan thought about it, so he had to list out the list of shareholders and start analyzing them for him one by one. .

"These three, you can try it out. These three people are all old shareholders who were introduced by Lu Shang's father back then. They don't usually get involved in the company's affairs. They are neutral parties. You go in the name of Lu Shang. They Maybe I can buy your account."

Li Sui got the list, nodded, thoughtful.

Li Sui decided not to take the usual path. He didn't go to these shareholders immediately, but asked someone to inquire about the hobbies and family conditions of these people, and then he went to the market to buy with his assistant. A gift, and then I drove the most common business car to visit someone's house.

There is one thing that Xu Weilan did not expect, there is a big difference between Li Sui and Lu Shang, Lu Shang looks cold on the outside, but in fact he is very easy-going, while Li Sui is just the opposite.His face is very pleasing to the elderly, and he has a lively mind. He is good at trying to figure out people's minds. After running for a week, these three shareholders were really taken under his banner. will be on their side.

"6%, although not much, but at least it proves that this method is effective, I think we can be more proactive." Li Sui said.

Now that he succeeded, Xu Weilan no longer refuted him, but only told him to pay more attention to Liu Xingtian's eyes and ears.

"Also, the reason why you were able to win these three shareholders is because they had no position in the first place. I'm afraid the rest will not be so easy."

"I understand." Li Sui nodded.

It's winter, even Li Sui couldn't bear it even after running outside for several days.It was almost the same as Xu Weilan expected. Shareholders with a little bit of real power were not so easy to win. There was also an underground party member of Liu Xingtian who directly shut him outside the door and blew the cold wind for an hour, and finally threw over a sentence today There was no time, Xiao Zhao was so angry that he almost smashed the door with a brick.

Li Sui had no choice but to turn around to comfort Xiao Zhao. After all, it is not easy for people who follow him through the wind and rain. The company is at the sensitive stage of standing in line and expressing its position. People who follow him will be implicated more or less. At such times, the support of any one person is particularly precious.

After finishing all the company's chores and returning home, it was already dark, and Li Sui was so busy, he deliberately paused in front of the door before entering the house, rubbed his face, took a deep breath, and then forced himself to go open the door.

In the house, Lu Shang was sitting at the dining table waiting for him while looking at things with a tablet, with a pair of glasses on the bridge of his nose.

He was shocked for a while: "Can you see it?"

Lu Shang seemed to cherish this visual time very much, staring at the data on the tablet, not wanting to waste a second: "A little bit."

"What are you looking at?" Li Sui walked over.

"Look at your report for this year, as well as the information on the batch of customers who are about to sign contracts."

Li Sui rubbed his shoulders for him: "Are you tired, take a rest."

Lu Shang shook his head, turned the tablet sideways, made a cross on several customer information, and pointed out: "Well, the bank deposit is too large, go check if there is a security deposit, if there is, it means they have a loan, like this Customers are classified into category B; this one, the assets are inflated, but the liabilities are real, and the debt ratio is obviously inconsistent with the report, this kind of pass is directly passed; and this..."

Li Sui quickly got into work mode, and took notes carefully, not daring to be negligent, for fear of missing it.Lu Shang seldom expresses his opinions on his work now, unless it is a very important decision, he hardly interferes with his decision. This is also the first time he has contacted this group of customers. In a stable state, even a single mistake may become a target for the opponent. There are countless pairs of eyes staring at him, and the pressure on his shoulders can be seen.

"I've read all the other customers for you, so you can sign with confidence. In addition, this year's report is well done, and I haven't found any faults."

Li Sui breathed a sigh of relief when he received the award, and couldn't help being happy for a while.

Lu Shang smiled lightly, closed the tablet and put it aside, and reached out to him: "Come here, let me take a closer look."

Li Sui walked over, picked him up directly, spread his legs and placed them on his own, raised his head and put his face on it, and said with a smile, "Are you still handsome?"

Lu Shang looked at him deeply, and touched his face inch by inch with his hands, with a look of reluctance and nostalgia in his eyes.

Li Sui didn't wait for an answer, and dissatisfiedly pushed his lower body: "Huh?"

Lu Shang flicked his forehead lightly, and said with a smile, "It's not bad, the appearance hasn't lost."

Although Li Sui was thinking hard, he still didn't dare to do it because he was concerned about Lu Shang's body. He hugged the person for a while and then went to the bathroom to solve it with his hands.Lu Shang felt very sorry and wanted to go in to help him, but was thrown out by Li Sui, showing a forbearing face, his voice hoarse: "...don't come in, I'm afraid I can't help stripping you naked, wait for you I won't let you go."

Before going to bed, Lu Shang was reluctant to close his eyes, fearing that his world would return to darkness again, so he lay face to face with Li Sui, staring at him without blinking, as if he couldn't see enough.

Li Sui looked at him, and for some reason, he always felt that there was something else in Lu Shang's gaze, but he couldn't tell, so he pulled Lu Shang's fingertips and kissed him on his lips: "Do you have any? Something to say."

Lu Shang touched his face, and sighed softly: "If one day Dongyan becomes uncontrollable, just let him go."

Li Sui frowned.

"This is the last thing I want to teach you. You have to learn to let go." Lu Shang continued.
