Is President Gu bankrupt today?

At the Gu's and Ling's Group Friendship Party, if there was anyone whose face was more stinky than the big cousin, it should be Xiang Zhe. Several young girls from the Ling's group surrounded him, asking questions with gossip.

"Is Mr. Gu really nice to our Mr. Ling in private?" "Mr. Gu, he doesn't want to hit our president, right?" "Is our Mr. Ling really affected?" "Do you think Mr. Ling will have a chance if we counterattack?" ?”

"I don't know." The more Xiang Zhe heard it, the more his face became more stinky, and he resolutely defended his position as the president.

The male employee of the Gu family who was neglected next to him couldn't help but feel sour, "Come on, now Xiang Zhu has taken the limelight away, and the few of us are only bachelors."

The eldest cousin swept a glass of wine, and happened to hear the sour complaints next to him, and his eyes drifted over. Several girls in their early twenties gathered around, and when they looked at Xiang Zhe, there seemed to be stars in their eyes However, the fingers holding the champagne glass couldn't help secretly exerting force.

Bai Zhu walked over with a face full of gossip, followed the big cousin's line of sight, "Big cousin, what are you looking at?"

"Look at the scenery."

Bai Zhu said meaningfully, "Does it look good?"

"Good...not good-looking." The eldest cousin almost fell into Bai Zhu's trap, just uttered a word, and immediately reacted and pulled back.

As if on purpose, Bai Zhu shook his head and sighed, "It seems that the little girls in our company like Xiang Zhe. Next year's recruitment plan should be discussed with the HR department. It would be better to recruit more muscular men."

The eldest cousin's expression was a little gloomy, and he didn't answer. Then he remembered something and asked, "I think you seem to know him very well?"

It's not surprising that the two knew each other, but when they were chatting with each other earlier, Bai Zhu replied, "Oh, Xiang Zhe is my husband's childhood friend."

"Oh, ah??!" The eldest cousin shouted excitedly, attracting a lot of attention from the surroundings. He realized that his reaction was a bit excessive, so he restrained himself a little. The amount of information in these words was too much, and he looked at Baizhu in disbelief. "Fa Xiao? Husband?"

Obviously, the eldest cousin needs time to digest these two pieces of news. Regarding the matter of Bai Zhu's marriage, not only the eldest cousin, but also Mr. Ling himself often forgets. After all, she just graduated when she first came to Ling's.

At that time, Ling Yao had just arrived at the Ling Group and hadn't taken the position of CEO yet. Those old employees somewhat looked down on this airborne young master, so Bai Zhu was just like Lengtouqing. What Ling Yao ordered, even if she blocked the door of someone's house, she had to block back what Ling wanted.

"Then do you know what he used to do?" asked the big cousin in a low voice.

"Before?" Bai Zhu realized that the eldest cousin was asking about Xiang Zhe, wondering why the eldest cousin was curious about Xiang Zhe, but didn't know whether to say it or not. After all, it was someone else's secret, so he hesitated, " I think you should ask him yourself."

It was a waste of time to ask, and the eldest cousin buried a trace of doubt in his heart.

Is he the person I thought he was, and if so, why did he disappear suddenly back then, and why did he appear suddenly?Human curiosity is like this, the more unknown, the more itchy in the heart.

Xiang Zhe definitely wouldn't say it, and neither would the male god. Gu Yunyi was busy spending his honeymoon with Ling Yao, and couldn't care about himself at all. After finally catching someone who knew him well, how could he let him go so easily.

She simply put on an old face and made up her mind, "Sister Bai, please, tell me, I will never tell a third person."

He learned this trick from Ling Yao. He saw Ling Yao acting like a baby with Gu Yunyi like this with his own eyes, and successfully got the chance to come back.

But looking at Bai Zhu again, his face turned green, with the expression of you being a slave, and he spoke tremblingly, "Ling, Master Ling, if I'm guilty, the law can punish me, but, but don't scare me. "

"Give you a raise."

"I'm not the type to sell out my friends for money."

"three times."

"It doesn't count if you say it." Bai Zhu was a little shaken.

The eldest cousin quickly dialed Ling Yao's phone number, "Hello, Yaoyao, isn't Yunyi by your side?"

"That's good, let's discuss things. I think Assistant Bai's performance is worth triple the salary."

"Are you crazy?" It was impossible for Ling Yao, who regarded money as his life, to agree.

"Let me tell you something secretly."

......

One minute later, Ling Yao took a deep breath, "Deal."

The salary increase came too suddenly, and Bai Zhu's hands were shaking with excitement. Afterwards, she voluntarily surrendered to Xiang Zhe, "It's not that I can't resist the temptation, it's that he gave too much."

The two quietly walked into the living room, and Bai Zhu poured a cup of tea for his eldest cousin before talking about Xiang Zhe.

"Xiang Zhe is a child who has suffered a lot. When he was a child, his family was very poor. His father often drank heavily, beat his mother when he was drunk, and often went to the police station in the middle of the night."

"Do the police care?"

"Well, how much can the management be in charge of? In the end, it's my own business. It's nothing more than the mediation of the neighborhood committee. Can't help much."

"Once his father drank too much and fell down in the wind on the roof. He died on the spot. This was a good thing for their mother and son, but within a year, his mother took him to remarry. , married the owner of a breakfast shop in the community, and that owner is also a single-parent family, dragging a son who is three years younger than him."

"I don't know if it's bad luck or God's deliberate tricks. Within a year of marriage, human nature gradually revealed. They beat and scolded their mother and son frequently, saying that Xiang Zhe is a ten-year-old child who is only ten years old. It's 4 o'clock in the morning in winter. Zhong has to get up and work, and he has to do things when he comes home from school."

These were all told by her husband himself, and when those things were mentioned, she couldn't help but sigh, and even gritted her teeth against that stepfather.

Baizhu's husband Wu Liang and Xiang Zhe lived in a residential building, and there were very few children in that building, even fewer children of their age, so the two of them were inevitably closer than other children. , plus another classmate.

When his peers are enjoying the greatest benefits that age brings to him, Xiang Zhe has already shouldered all the burdens. Because of doing rough and heavy work all year round, he is taller than his peers, but he is much thinner, and his clothes are eliminated by his younger brother. ill-fitting clothes.Although he will secretly bring some snacks or food of his own to Xiang Zhe, the nutrition of these things is too limited, and more often he has to go to work early when he is not full. Dry, and his hair is often messy, he is completely different from him now.

The number of times Wu Liang saw him being dragged from upstairs to the store by his stepfather with his hair wasted to help him already had more than ten fingers, and the short hands and feet of his clothes often showed one or two streaks of dark purple, and he knew where it came from without asking. here.

So at that time, Xiang Zhe was the only child in the class who didn't have to hand in homework. Even the teacher knew that he didn't have time to hand in homework. Shocking scars.

Once, a classmate in the class was fined to copy a hundred times because he forgot to do his homework. He couldn't help saying, "I really envy Xiang Zhe, who doesn't need to do homework."

And Wu Liang clearly saw Xiang Zhe's tightly clenched fists hiding under the table. He pursed his lips and didn't say a word, but his eyes were filled with forbearance.

So Wu Liang couldn't hold back, and punched that classmate, and was finally punished to stand and call his parents.

He asked his mother puzzled, "Didn't the book say that all bad guys will be punished?"

Mom sighed and didn't answer. She passed by the breakfast shop on her bicycle. The woman at the door was washing the dishes in the basin with absent-minded eyes. Her hands were red with cold and swollen like radishes. People are also washing the dishes without any response.

It took a long time to realize that the villains in the book will always be punished, but in front of them is the naked reality, the villains will always live more freely.

Later, as Xiang Zhe grew older, his stepfather gradually became dissatisfied with him being just a helper in the store, and tried to get him to do some illegal jobs. It was impossible to do regular jobs, and more people went to illegal Internet cafes. Working part-time here is also good for Xiang Zhe, because the boss he hires sympathizes with him, and often quotes a very low price to his stepfather, and then secretly gives him the rest of the money.

When he was in junior high school, he had already started to skip classes. Wu Liang often didn’t even see others for three to five days, so he fished him out from the black Internet cafe in a state of frustration, “Do you still want to go to college or not!”

In that small place, getting into college seemed to be the only way out, or it was the only way for Xiang Zhe to escape from the clutches of the clutches. Who knew that Xiang Zhe shrugged and took out a poster from his pocket. Liang doesn't quite remember, but he only remembers him saying loudly, "I'm going to participate in this competition, No. 1 has a prize of 1 yuan, and I can leave here with this money."

In the dark alley, the light in his eyes was the longing for the future, so that even if Wu Liang did not agree with such an approach, he could not give any reason to oppose it.

Since then, it has been even more difficult to see him. Every time I saw him, I heard Xiang Zhe's stepfather scolding him very harshly, saying that he was a money-loser, a prodigal, and so on. .

The eldest cousin was dumbfounded when he heard this, he was almost convinced that Xiang Zhe was the male god he had admired since high school, and he also knew that his family was not good, so he worked harder than others, but he never thought that it was not good , is simply bad.

He was born in a wealthy family, and although he lived in the shadow of his cousin who was too good, but in comparison, his little emotions seemed to be moaning without illness.

"Then what happened next?" He was silent for a moment, then asked again.

Bai Zhu shook his head, "After Xiang Zhe went to play the game, he seldom contacted my husband. I only know that one day, his stepfather died, and a thief was caught in the breakfast shop. He was hacked several times and bled to death. His mother I was also frightened and crazy, and I heard that she is still living in a mental hospital.”

"I'll ask my husband." Even if it's for three times the salary, you have to do your duty.

"No need." The eldest cousin stopped her. In comparison, he felt that he knew that period of history better than Bai Zhu.

In the past, Nanshen was the god of the entire e-sports circle. It was the era when e-sports had just emerged, and the domestic e-sports environment was very poor. At that time, all parents believed that playing games was not a proper job, let alone put It's really a competition.

The eldest cousin is not as good as Ling Yao in terms of academics, and he is not as good as the elder brother in terms of art. The eldest cousin who is lagging behind everywhere pretends not to care on the surface, but he will inevitably feel disappointed in his heart.It was just because my friend said unintentionally, "Fanfan, you are really good at playing games." At that moment, a strange sense of pride surged in my heart.

It was also at that time that the eldest cousin noticed Nanshen, and won the domestic league championship in one fell swoop at the age of two years younger than him, which caused a sensation in the entire e-sports game circle. At that time, Xiang Zhe looked immature, Wearing a one-size-fits-all jacket on him would be like stealing his father's clothes. His hair was messy, whether it was permed or naturally curly, his immature face was a little yellow, and there were a few pimples.

At this age, he should be a carefree student. During the last physical education class, he sneaked out of school with his partner to play games in an Internet cafe.

But in Xiang Zhe's eyes, he saw a firmness that was beyond his age, and he could feel his heart beating faster through the screen.

The eldest cousin has secretly liked Nanshen for many years, and even transferred to his regional server and silently added friends. Of course, this one-way relationship has been maintained for many years. Watching him win countless first-pass achievements, watching him be crowned Peak, watching him win championships one after another, and then disappear suddenly, and I am always the little fan looking up at him, not daring to take a step forward.

"I heard that Xiang Zhe had a lot of fans when he played games back then. Could it be that you are the big cousin too?" Bai Zhu looked at him excitedly.

I thought the eldest cousin would deny it, but he nodded with his eyes shining, "Well, I have liked him for many years."

The footsteps outside the door stopped suddenly, and those words came to his ears clearly.

"I've liked him for many years."

The person at the door was a little dazed, and the hand on the doorknob couldn't move.

Ling Yao who hung up the phone took a bite of the apple, intending to make fun of Gu Yunyi with the story he heard from his eldest cousin.

And Gu Yunyi finally finished the overseas meeting, raised his head from the heavy work, and faced Ling Yao's expression of wanting to make trouble.

"I think you're calling me." Gu Yunyi loosened his tightly tied tie, strode towards Ling Yao, and sat down beside him, the spacious sofa instantly became crowded.

Ling Yao was squeezed into the corner of the sofa, and pushed his hands away to zoom in on Gu Yunyi, "I don't, I'm not, don't talk nonsense."

But the lips still lightly fell on his forehead, hugged him and asked, "Is it the big cousin just now?"

"Yeah." Ling Yao nodded and replied, seeing that Gu Yunyi didn't make any further movements, he nestled in his arms with peace of mind, and his fluffy hair rubbed against Gu Yunyi's neck, itching very comfortably, winter is so nice, You can lie in the arms of your lover with integrity.

"I heard that someone gave me a watch from my elder brother before, and misunderstood it as a gift from another little lover. I regretted it afterwards."

"I really regret it." Gu Yunyi saw Ling Yao secretly laughing, and vaguely remembered the time when Ling Yao was drugged, and the line of defense that was about to break through was missed because of this misunderstanding, "I also regret it now."

"It's useless to regret, and time can't be turned back."

"Huh?" Gu Yunyi looked down at him, "Don't you, don't you remember?"

He clearly remembered that Ling Yao replied decisively afterwards, "I don't remember, I don't know."

Ling Yao suddenly sat up straight in a jerk, feeling a fiery gaze staring at him, and then slipped his mouth.

"Mr. Ling, why don't we continue with the unfinished business?"

Mr. Ling, who supported his waist afterwards, warned with tears in his eyes, the most important thing in being a human being is honesty, and honesty is the best virtue of human beings.
