rival crush on me

The next day, people from the decoration company came to sign the contract with them. They proposed several plans, including labor and materials, and cleaning. The prices of labor and materials were clearly written.Cao Jun took a look and found that the price of the materials was cheaper than what he knew, but it would cost at least 20 yuan to decorate it to a higher level.He thought about the decoration of the previous house, which took place a few years ago. Although it was a little wider, it cost more than two hundred thousand yuan. The price of everything has been increasing in the past two years. This price is considered reasonable, so he signed the contract. Then go back to design.

Looking at the contract, Guo Qiao thought that it was only the money for renovation, not including the cost of buying furniture and appliances. It seems that only two-thirds of the tasks were completed after buying the house, and there was still a major renovation.But the poor have the way of the poor. Generally, those who have no money buy a house, get a simple decoration and move in directly.The quality of life is completely different.

After the decoration company's design was completed, Cao Jun asked them to send it directly to the company to show him.On this day, Ou Gong took his young apprentice to Cao Jun's office, only to find that Cao Jun is the owner of a famous group buying website. Promising upstarts in the business world, especially those who are so handsome, are still rare.

According to their requirements, Ou Gong designed two sets of plans, one is warm, with beige as the main color, and warm yellow wooden floor, and the other is according to Cao Jun's request, the design is a little colder and mainly white. The floors are wood-coloured.

Cao Jun asked Guo Qiao: "Which plan do you think is better?"

Guo Qiao looked at it, and felt that the log-colored floor looked more comfortable and attractive, but the previous plan was more warm, so he hesitated and said, "The log-colored floor should be used. Can't the walls be beige?"

Ou Gong said: "Yes, choose a color that is more focused, so that it should match well."

Cao Jun said: "Let's do it this way, try the effect, if possible, use this plan. We still need to discuss some details..."

Guo Qiao didn't participate in the detailed discussions, he just gave Cao Jun some advice. He walked out of the office and met Fang Xiaoyu at the door. There seems to be a problem.Guo Qiao smiled and nodded, then returned to the office.

This day happened to be the company's notice to have a New Year's Eve dinner, and the group became lively again.

"Wow, this time we are going to the Shangri-La Hotel. Our boss Cao is really getting more and more generous, and we have a good taste again."

"It's not a loss to follow such a boss!"

"Hehe, I found out that since Mr. Cao came back from a business trip in Chengdu, he no longer has a straight face. It is always like a spring breeze. Mr. Cao's spring is here, so he is in such a good mood."

"You know again?"

"Who is Mr. Cao's spring?"

"Of course it's our Guo Zhu! Didn't you realize that during the days when Guo Zhu was not around, Mr. Cao's face was like ice." The one who said this was definitely the rotten girl Xiao Liang.

"Okay, I'm sick. Is it a normal person to match men there every day?"

As soon as these words came out, the group immediately fell silent, and someone tentatively asked, "Xiao Yu, what stimulated you?"

Fang Xiaoyu continued: "All men are looking for men, what good do you have?"

Xiao Liang replied: "A man who knows how to find a man, do you dare to ask for it?"

"So those men who seduce men deserve to die!"

The group suddenly became deserted, and no one spoke anymore.Xiao Liang couldn't help slandering that he was sick, but he didn't dare to say it directly.With a good relationship with Fang Xiaoyu, he quietly asked her what happened, but she didn't say anything.

On the day of the New Year’s Eve dinner, it suddenly snowed heavily. In this city that is neither south nor north, the temperature often drops below zero, but snow is something that can’t be met. Guo Qiao stayed here for nearly ten years. In [-], I saw only two snowfalls, and the biggest snowfall on the ground was less than one centimeter thick.Cao Jun said that he has lived here for more than [-] years, and except for a few real heavy snowfalls when he was a child, he has never seen it again.

Looking at the snowflakes in the sky, Guo Qiao said happily: "I didn't expect such a heavy snowfall. It's really rare." Sichuan rarely snows, and Guo Qiao only experienced snow once when he was a child.

Cao Jun said: "It looks like the ground will be white at night, after dinner, shall we go outside?"

"Okay." Guo Qiao readily agreed to the proposal.

This time, all the employees of the company came back, including those in offices in other cities. There are more than 200 or nearly 300 people in total.Of course, this is not just a simple New Year’s Eve dinner. Before the dinner started, Cao Jun made an annual summary report and announced several decisions that have been discussed in meetings these days. Next year, the company will set up branch offices in three first-tier cities. company, and announced the list of branch managers on the spot.Everyone's blood was a little bit ignited, and they were gearing up for a big fight.

In addition to cultural performances, there were commendations and lucky draws at the party. The biggest individual prize was a car worth about 300 yuan. In addition, there were computers, mobile phones, refrigerators, TV sets, microwave ovens and other electronic products.Everyone present has a prize, and those who have not drawn the grand prize will have at least a consolation prize of [-] yuan.No wonder everyone is looking forward to this New Year's Eve dinner.

The atmosphere of the whole party has always been very active, and Guo Qiao has a new understanding of Cao Jun's generosity. In the future, he will be his own boss and eat meat by himself.

Cao Jun did not refuse to drink this time, but he made preparations in advance. Before drinking, he drank some yogurt and ate something in advance. Yes, there are a lot of employees who came from other places, and it’s not justified not to toast, and it’s not justified not to drink the toast.

Guo Qiao didn't plan to drink at first, and he would drive for Cao Jun, but Fang Xiaoyu didn't know what was going on, so he insisted on pulling Guo Qiao to drink, Guo Qiao said: "Miss Fang, I don't drink, and I will drive for President Cao later. "

Fang Xiaoyu said: "Can't you go home without driving? You can't drive, and you can't take a taxi. Guo Zhu, you can't ignore us just because Mr. Cao is partial to you."

Guo Qiao listened to Fang Xiaoyu's words. Although she was smiling, there was no smile in her eyes. He didn't know how he had offended her, so he said, "Okay, then I'll have a drink."

Fang Xiaoyu raised the corners of her mouth and smiled: "That's about the same. Guo Zhu is a man, and his alcohol capacity is definitely much better than our girls. On such a festive day, you should drink more."

Guo Qiao had just finished drinking, and when it was time for the lottery draw, Jing Wei ran up to draw the lottery, but when he reported his number, it happened to be Guo Qiao's number, and the prize was a rich gold mobile phone.Guo Qiao felt that he was quite lucky. In the past lottery draws at the conference, at most a consolation prize was drawn. He didn't expect that this year there would be a local tyrant's gold.

Guo Qiao came back after receiving the award, and before he could be happy, Fang Xiaoyu brought a group of girls over to toast again: "Guo Zhu, you're so lucky, we've been working in the company for several years, and we haven't won a prize yet. If you come here, you will win the big prize, which is really enviable, so I want to treat you. Drink, drink!"

So Guo Qiao was dragged to toast by a group of female colleagues again, Guo Qiao felt that he must have offended Fang Xiaoyu, otherwise how could he be targeted by her.

When Cao Jun came back after toasting, he found that Guo Qiao was already drunk, and he said, "I'm not telling you not to drink."

Guo Qiao said: "I don't want to drink, but all the female colleagues come to toast, so I can't do without drinking. I can only take a taxi back."

"Then take a taxi. You won the lottery?" It turned out that although he was drinking, he still noticed the movement on the stage.

Guo Qiao chuckled, and showed him the box: "I won a local rich gold. I said you are so stingy, why don't you just give me a 6plus."

Cao Jun said: "You are so beautiful, it would be nice to have it, but you still hate the east and the west." He didn't say it, it is not easy to get 6plus, just let him buy it.

Except for the slightly imperfect thing about being drunk, everything else is pretty good, he ate well, and he won a big prize, Guo Qiao was in a very happy mood: "Hurry up and eat something, don't throw up again like last time .”

Cao Jun said: "Fortunately, it's not too uncomfortable for those who eat in advance." Cao Jun picked up the chopsticks and ate the food on the table. The stage was still performing, and professional actors were invited, so colleagues didn't need to go Performing, the effect is obviously better. Of course, those who are willing to perform on stage can volunteer to come on stage.

After the dinner, everyone left drunk.The bill has been settled, and Cao Jun and Guo Qiao are planning to leave. When they left, there were still some people who did not leave. It's all theirs, and they can make trouble at the hotel to get off work.

There was no one else in the elevator, just the two of them. Cao Jun said, "Take a taxi and go to Central Park. There should be no one there, and the snow should not be damaged. Let's go for a walk."

Guo Qiao nodded: "Okay."

When they left the hotel gate, the snow continued to fall outside. There was already snow in many places. It was really a heavy snow. Both of them were a little excited. They were about to stop a taxi when someone stopped him: " Mr. Cao, I want to say a few words to you."

The two turned their heads and saw that it was Fang Xiaoyu.Cao Jun looked at Fang Xiaoyu, recalled the time she confessed to him in the hospital, and frowned slightly: "If you have something to say, just say it."

Fang Xiaoyu bit her lower lip and looked at Guo Qiao, saying, "It's not convenient for Assistant Guo to hear."

Guo Qiao had no choice but to walk away.

Cao Jun looked at Guo Qiao's figure, turned to look at Fang Xiaoyu, and said, "What's the matter, Miss Fang?"

Fang Xiaoyu bit her lip and said, "I know Mr. Cao will definitely think that I am troublesome, but I really care about Mr. Cao and hope Mr. Cao is well, so I have to say it. What I want to say is, Mr. Cao, you still It's better to cherish your reputation, after all, you are a public figure, so I don't want you to go on like this." Normally, Fang Xiaoyu would not dare to say this, but she drank too much and her cerebral cortex was excited, so she didn't fully listen to it. Reason dictates.

Cao Jun frowned: "What exactly do you want to say?"

Fang Xiaoyu hiccupped: "I know, Assistant Guo must have seduced you..."

Cao Jun said in a deep voice, "Miss Fang, what nonsense are you talking about?" Although his tone was calm, his heart was shocked. How could she know his relationship with Guo Qiao?He didn't reveal anything in front of people at all.But he forgot that people in love, even if they don't say or do anything, experienced people can detect it, let alone a woman who is madly in love with him.

Fang Xiaoyu hesitated for a moment, could it be that she guessed wrong, she sniffed: "I clearly saw you go to a Japanese restaurant with him, go to a concert together, you hold hands..."

Cao Jun was clear-eyed. It turned out that he showed his flaws that time. He said calmly: "You said it was a concert. I was excited to hear it. Isn't it normal to hold hands? You think it's okay if there are so many people holding hands in the venue." , I’m good friends with him, so there’s a problem if we hold hands?”

Fang Xiaoyu's face was a little embarrassed, and her tone was not so sure: "But, but are you two really okay?"

Cao Jun said impatiently: "Don't say that we two are fine, even if there is something, it's not your turn to take care of it. Ms. Fang, this kind of matter is related to the reputation of Assistant Guo and me, so it's better to be cautious. Don't make wild guesses. Thank you for worrying, you should go back quickly, it's too late. Guo Qiao, let's go, go back." After speaking, he stretched out his hand to hail a taxi, and opened the car door directly without telling Fang Xiaoyu to sit. up.

Fang Xiaoyu thought of what she said just now, she mustered all the courage to say it, but in the end she was not taken seriously at all, so she couldn't help but squat down and cry in frustration.

A pair of feet stayed in front of her: "Miss Fang, what's wrong with you?"

Fang Xiaoyu raised her head and looked at the person in front of her: "Boss Jing..."

Guo Qiao found out that Cao Jun's complexion had not been better since he got in the car, his face was ashen, and he didn't say a word. What did Fang Xiaoyu say to Cao Jun just now?

Guo Qiao said, "Cao Jun, what's the matter with you?"

Cao Jun shook his head.

"Do you feel unwell, or don't go to Central Park, let's go home." Guo Qiao said.

Cao Jun said, "It's okay, let's go for a walk and relax."

The car drove to the Central Park, and the two got out of the car. There was no one in the park on a snowy night, only the falling snow flakes. They didn't even take an umbrella, and they just stood in the snow with their heads bare.There is no wind, only snowflakes are falling like catkins, and the breath is all white.

Cao Jun pulled up the hat on Guo Qiao's down jacket, put it on, then grabbed his hand, put it in the coat pocket, and walked towards the path in the park.Guo Qiao looked around quietly, but there was no sign of anyone, so he didn't withdraw his hand, and took two steps, following Cao Jun's footsteps.The two walked side by side in the quiet and deserted park.

This was originally a very romantic thing, but the two of them didn't feel romantic at all, because the mood was wrong and the atmosphere was wrong. Guo Qiao asked Cao Jun: "What's the matter?"

Cao Jun suddenly said: "What if our affairs are discovered and made public?"

"Ah?" Guo Qiao was taken aback, "Who found out? Fang Xiaoyu?"

Cao Jun sighed: "We went to the concert that day, and we were bumped into by her. We saw us holding hands."

Guo Qiao remembered that Fang Xiaoyu had said that he would go to the concert with him at noon that day, but he had rejected him, so he said: "There are so many people holding hands at the venue, how can you tell that there is something wrong with us holding hands?" The woman is always at odds with herself.

"That's what I said, and I didn't admit it to her. But from this incident, I think that someone may be watching us. Although we usually don't have any intimate activities outside, we can't stand the observation and guessing of interested people. I think, our business It may be a matter of time before someone finds out, so you have to be mentally prepared."

Guo Qiao was silent, he moved a bit, and pulled his hand back from Cao Jun's pocket. Cao Jun felt a little empty in his heart, but Guo Qiao was still afraid.Guo Qiao looked up at the snowflakes flying under the street lamp, the hat on his head fell back, snowflakes fell on his hair, his face was cold.He turned his head to look at Cao Jun, his hair had already been covered with a lot of snowflakes, and he was about to turn into a white-headed man.

Guo Qiao raised his hand and swept the snow off Cao Jun's head and shoulders: "How about we go back, the snow is too heavy, you don't even have a hat."

Cao Jun turned to look at Guo Qiao.In the night, although Cao Jun couldn't see the expression in Cao Jun's eyes clearly, Guo Qiao could feel the burning and anticipation in those eyes. He sighed: "If you really can't hide it, then you can only admit it. To be honest, I really don't like to tell others about my privacy, it's our own business, it's none of his business."

Cao Jun said: "What I'm most worried about is that someone with a heart will make a fuss about this and spread rumors at that time. I'm worried that I won't be able to protect you."

Guo Qiao turned to look at Cao Jun, and suddenly felt that he was too selfish and cowardly, afraid of being discovered about their relationship.Is Cao Jun always worried that he is ready to leave at any time, so he always treats himself with sincerity and sincerity, for fear that he will be unhappy and hurt, as if this love is really what he talked with him, he stretched out his hand , grabbed Cao Jun's hand, and said: "I am a man like you, and I don't need your protection, so don't worry. I will take care of everything with you. If everyone finds out, it's okay It’s a matter of method, I can only say that fate should be like this.” At this point, Guo Qiao took a long breath, “I have seen other people’s strange eyes since I was a child, so don’t worry about my ability to bear it, really.”

Cao Jun looked at him: "You said you grew up when you were young, why?"

Guo Qiao put the two hands into the pocket of his down jacket and said, "You will know about this sooner or later. Let me tell you today: I am a picked child."

"What?" Cao Jun asked in surprise, thinking he had heard wrong.

Guo Qiao said, "Let's stop standing in the snow and go to the pavilion over there."

The two walked into the pavilion and looked at the vast expanse of whiteness around them. The snow was really heavy. Guo Qiao suddenly remembered his life experience and felt very emotional: "It was also a snowy day, maybe it wasn't so heavy. , in short, it is also very cold, and it rarely snows in Sichuan. My dad went to sell celery on the street, and he carried a load of frozen celery to the street in the snow. He got up very early, about four or five o'clock Luckily, my dad went out early. If I was later, I might have froze to death. My dad said that when he passed by the bridge, he heard a baby crying, and then found a baby under the pier. There are still blood stains, wrapped in an adult's padded jacket, and my lips are purple from the cold, and I am dying. That's me."

Guo Qiao stopped here, lowered his head, feeling a little agitated.Cao Jun stretched out his hand and grasped his hand tightly. It turned out that his Guo Qiao came from this way.

Guo Qiao sniffed: "Do you know why I'm called Guo Qiao? I was picked up under a bridge pier. My dad happened to meet me when he was going to cross the bridge, so I'm called Guo Qiao. It's my blessing." I was so big, but I didn’t freeze to death. My parents said that maybe a little later, I would die. My dad didn’t sell celery anymore, so he threw the burden by the bridge, untied his cotton-padded jacket, and wrapped me in his arms. I came back to life in my father's arms. So all my life, I have been grateful to my parents, for fear of treating them badly. When I am with you, I feel particularly guilty towards them. I can't fulfill their wishes."

Cao Jun couldn't help his throat tightening, and his eyes were moist, he hugged Guo Qiao in his arms and comforted him: "Don't be afraid, I will repay your parents with you, and I will honor them in this life. Grandson, let’s do test-tube babies and find a surrogate to have a baby.”

Guo Qiao sniffed again: "Let's talk about this later. Tell them in a gentler way, and don't directly stimulate them."

Cao Jun said: "There must be a way, or we will not tell them, and we can hide it." For Guo Qiao, nurturing kindness is definitely greater than giving birth to kindness. Such good parents are considered biological. , That's all, his biological parents are not as good as his adoptive parents.

Guo Qiao rubbed his eyes on Cao Jun's shoulder: "Okay, let me go, what if someone really comes over?"

Cao Jun pulled up his hat: "Let him watch, who would know that we are two men?"

Guo Qiao breathed a sigh of relief, and changed his tone of teasing: "My dad lost a load of celery that day. As soon as I arrived at their house, I made them bankrupt. My dad said many times that a load of celery For me, this is the most valuable load of celery in the world. When I was a child, I was often bullied by children in the same village. They called me a bastard, but my sister is very aggressive and tough. She is seven years older than me. Although she is tall She is very small, but she is very courageous. She dares to fight with boys who are a head taller than her. She often defends me. And my cousin, he has helped me fight a lot. My mother often said, mouth Grow on others, no matter what others say, if you want others not to underestimate you, you have to show good grades and make others jealous. So I knew from a young age that if you study hard, when you are excellent, others will not look down on you you."

Cao Jun pulled Guo Qiao into his arms and kissed him on the cheek: "Your family is a very good family. Really, Guo Qiao is the best family in the world."

Guo Qiao hummed: "Yes, there is no better family than them. I called back a few days ago, and my dad mentioned this to me, saying what to do if my biological parents find me. I It is estimated that they have already looked for my parents, so my mother is so anxious to let me come back, she is probably afraid that I will recognize them. She is afraid of losing me as a son. But how could they lose me? I'm afraid they won't recognize my son." Guo Qiao's eyes were a little hot.

Cao Jun patted him on the back: "It's okay, I will admit it, you are so nice, how could they be willing to do so?"

Guo Qiao stopped talking, a gust of wind blew, and Guo Qiao shivered suddenly. Cao Jun said, "Is it cold? Let's go back."

Guo Qiao looked at the wind and snow all over the sky: "Okay, let's go back." Originally, he came looking for romance, but ended up recalling the past here. It's not romantic at all, and it's still so cold. Whatever happens, I will face it with you."

"Me too." Cao Jun put Guo Qiao's hand in his pocket, interlocked his fingers, and walked out step by step on the snow.
