Mr. Butler on the catwalk

The first time Luo Lin saw the magazine, he called Zhang Yishan.

——The mobile phone is turned off and cannot answer.

Luo Lin almost didn't think about it, so he ran out and stopped the taxi.He rushed to the other side of Atlantic City, to the hotel where the escorts were staying.

However, Zhang Yishan was not in the room.Pierre's female coach said to Luo Lin with an exaggerated expression——

"He hasn't been back since last night."

"He doesn't look very well."

"I asked him if he needed help, but he said no."

"If I know about him, I will tell you as soon as possible."

Luo Lin didn't know why he was in such a hurry.He smiled at the lady in front of him, and ran out from the hotel gate.

Then he gasped and stood in the crowded square that he was completely unfamiliar with, only then did he realize that he was completely lost.

Adechico called him at this time:

"Why haven't you come back yet? Did you go to your assistant?"

Luo Lin said "En".

"Come back first. You don't need to be so anxious, LGM will take care of everything, and it won't affect you very much..."

"...It's not that question." Luo Lin interrupted.

Adecco paused and sighed: "My assistant said that the photo that appeared in the magazine was sent to LGM last night. Now that the official knows the news, it is said that the media will also be able to solve the problem. Take over. It's just a scandal, nothing more will be involved..."

"...That's not a scandal. It's about my friend, it's very important." Luo Lin clenched his fists.

Adechico seemed to want to tell Luo Lin not to get entangled in this matter any more, but just persuaded him to come back.However, before he had said a few words, someone on the other end of the phone said something to Adechico.

Then Luo Lin heard Adchico know so well:

"...your assistant is now being called to LGM's management. I don't know what's going on, but Staff told you to come back as soon as possible... It seems that this matter has become a bit complicated."

……

After half an hour, Luo Lin rushed to the door of the meeting room temporarily rented by LGM.Luo Lin stood still in front of the door, and then saw the door was opened, and Sith and Luo Han came out of the room one by one.

Neither of them had a good expression, which made Luo Lin feel uneasy.

Before Luo Lin spoke, Sith spoke first:

"Your assistant is inside. He said he wanted to speak to you."

Luo Lin nodded, and Luo Han smiled at him and shook hands.But such a friendly gesture failed to relieve Luo Lin's tension.

Sith said: "I think you also know what happened in the morning, but I'm not sure how much you know. It's a bit complicated to say. I think you and your assistant... will have some new ideas after talking. .”

The two turned and left, and Luo Lin pushed open the door of the conference room.

... In the room, Zhang Yishan sat alone on an armchair by the round table.With his back facing Luo Lin, he couldn't see his emotions at first glance.

"Yishan... are you okay?"

Luo Lin asked carefully, and walked to Zhang Yishan's side.

However, he saw Zhang Yishan still smiling.Not as provocative or frivolous as usual, just not angry.

Zhang Yishan said, "Xiao Luoluo, please sit down."

Luo Lin did as he said, and then asked him in a low voice:

"I know you are very uncomfortable about this... Why did LGM drag you here alone? Did something happen?"

Zhang Yishan smiled slightly again: "That's right. Alfred came here just now. So I'm not alone. After reading this, you can understand why LGM came to me."

He pushed a flimsy document in front of Luo Lin.Luo Lin took out a piece of paper from the paper bag and found that it was a letter.

There was only one content in that letter: Zhang Yishan was involved in leaking the content of the LGM mission to Alfred.

Luo Lin felt that such news was a bit funny, but he couldn't laugh out loud: "It's impossible...you're not that kind of person, and you're not from LGM..."

He didn't go on.Because Zhang Yishan showed a very bitter expression, and said hoarsely, "Thank you for trusting me so much, Luo Lin."

An uncomfortable silence.During such a time, the business phone on the table in the conference room suddenly rang.

Luo Lin looked at the phone, then at Zhang Yishan.Zhang Yishan exhaled, stood up, and pressed the hands-free full play button on the phone.

It was a man's voice.He cleared his throat first, and then said in a deep voice, "Zhang Yishan, are you there?"

Luo Lin unconsciously opened his eyes wide.This sentence is in Chinese.

——The most important thing is how weak this voice is.

When Luo Lin was stunned, Zhang Yishan sniffed and said softly, "I'm here."

He Xingwei's voice didn't sound like nostalgia, but unexpectedly severe.As if giving an order, he said simply: "I'll give you three days to go through the formalities and go back to your country. When you come back, I'll settle the issue of compensation with you. This is my decision. You can't stay there any longer gone."

Zhang Yishan's tone finally took on some weakness:

"Can you let me go back after the training camp is over, I won't..."

"You have no possibility and no chance to make this mistake again. Zhang Yishan, this time, you really lived up to my expectations."

Luo Lin could hear He Shiwei's tone, in addition to the severe reprimand, there was also some kind of sadness.But such a sentence is still hurtful, making him want to interrupt unconsciously: "Brother He, you don't have to talk to this level..."

The voice on the phone seemed to have stopped for a while, and the seriousness in the tone of the voice suddenly subsided a little: "...Luo Lin... are you there?"

"Originally, I wanted to talk to Yishan, but you just called..."

He Shiwei pondered for a moment, then sighed:

"I have to deal with the matter at hand with Zhang Yishan first. The tone of the speech may be a bit aggressive. If you feel uncomfortable, it's better to walk away first."

It's a pity that Luo Lin can't do that kind of thing now.On the contrary, Luo Lin became very anxious: "...What happened, why is Yishan going back now? And the compensation is...what's going on?"

He Shiwei didn't make a sound for a long time.In the end, he said in a tired tone: "...you let Zhang Yishan tell you."

Luo Lin frowned, and looked at Zhang Yishan with worried eyes.Zhang Yishan gritted his teeth, and finally put his knuckles on the material that Luo Lin had read before.

Zhang Yishan said: "...Luo Lin, I'm sorry. I did leak the secret."

Luo Lin saw Zhang Yishan's lips trembling slightly.Luo Lin had never seen such a embarrassed Zhang Yishan.

Luo Lin coughed, not knowing what to say next.After a long time, he said again: "...but, but Yishan, you are not from LGM...you come here as an assistant, you should be able to do everything..."

Luo Lin wanted to use this logic to convince himself.However, He Shiwei sighed after hearing this, and said in a deep voice, "He's really not. I am."

...Luo Lin let out an "ah".Because of this unexpected answer, he lost the ability to understand the meaning of those sentences for a moment.

——He Shiwei is a member of LGM?What does it mean?

"...I am one of the process guides hired by LGM, responsible for your early assessment and mission planning. Before you enter Nightfall, I have signed a cooperation contract and a confidentiality agreement with LGM. Because my work before the camp It's already finished, so you shouldn't notice it either. Zhang Yishan knows about it."

As if sensing Luo Lin's question, He Shiwei explained it this way.Then He Shiwei continued: "I also know that Zhang Yishan has my various account passwords. After all, he is an internal practitioner of the company, so I don't think there is any need to guard against him. But I didn't expect him to leak my internal information. I didn't expect him to do such a...stupid thing."

Hearing the last sentence, Zhang Yishan lowered his head and clenched his fists, and said in a low voice as if defending: "I'm not... I thought you would be with Luo Lin..."

"...Don't make such excuses for yourself! You know who I am, and you should know what kind of person Luo Lin is!! I will let him walk the way he wants to go, and he doesn't need my help. What a favor!! It's you Zhang Yishan, look what you did there?!"

——He Shiwei's anger burst out suddenly.Luo Lin saw Zhang Yishan's shoulders trembling slightly.

He Shiwei exhaled twice on the other end of the phone, and Luo Lin could feel the anger in that breath.He knew that He Shiwei was brewing more sentences to wake Zhang Yishan——

But Luo Lin just stood up and cut off the phone.

——Because Zhang Yishan covered his face.

He cried.

Luo Lin recalled Zhang Yishan's different expression in those scenes that he found unnatural.

Probably Zhang Yishan himself knew what mistake he made from the very beginning.

...Luo Lin sat back on the chair next to Zhang Yishan, and then put one of his hands on Zhang Yishan's shoulder.

He didn't know what to say, he just thought that those casual comforts would not make Zhang Yishan really feel better.This is the only action he can do.

He hadn't thought at that time that when a person was most remorseful and desperate, the hand he stretched out and the quiet time spent with the other person could already be called the best gift.

……

At noon, Luo Lin and Zhang Yishan chose a cafe to sit down.Zhang Yishan forced himself to clean up his mental state, and then told Luo Lin many things.

Zhang Yishan had no expression when he spoke—as if he had put away all the out-of-control emotions before, as if telling someone else's story, with a flat tone, telling Luo Lin the cause of the so-called leak—

It turned out that from the beginning to the end, Zhang Yishan didn't go to see He Shiwei's information for Alfred.Before the start of the camp, he organized all the tasks in his handbook, and wrote his own notes and comments privately.

He has no particular purpose in doing these things.Probably just to prove that my creativity and mind can control the flow of this column.This is Zhang Yishan's interest and pastime, and it is also to satisfy his strange vanity.

He went to LGM's training as an assistant, and he really wanted to meet Alfred in his own selfishness.However, being able to have a special development with Alfred is not what Zhang Yishan expected.

Originally, the two of them got along as if they were apart for a while, until one day Alfred saw Zhang Yishan's business card.The position written on it is not just an assistant.And after a dinner, Alfred found the manual from the slightly drunk Zhang Yishan.With a few English annotations, Alfred probably guessed the content of the manual.

Then things became very simple.Alfred said to him, if you know something, why don't you tell me.At first, Zhang Yishan only gave a few associated words and the name of the task topic, but later, uncontrollably, he told Alfred the details of those arrangements.

Because of this development, by the time Alfred knows everything he wants to know, it should be over.

Zhang Yishan paused at this point.Then he lowered his head, seriously, and apologized to Luo Lin again——

"I'm sorry, Luo Lin. I was stupid enough to show him the audience's vote feedback. Maybe it's because of that set of data that he regards you as a big threat. That's because I was still confused and thought..."

Zhang Yishan buried his head deeper: "I'm sorry."

Luo Lin helped him by the shoulders, made him sit upright, and then shook his head.

According to Zhang Yishan, he knew that he was criticized for leaking the secret before he knew the news of Alfred's engagement.But when Alfred was called to talk, he heard Alfred's words, and he knew that he was completely and completely thrown away——

"He said that I once wanted to use the information in my hand to make a physical transaction with him, but he refused. He was really serious when he said that. At that time, I thought that if he denied it, I would not Getting into some trouble. But that's what he said, and he referred to my handbook."

"I still have my notebook with me. That's direct evidence. No matter what I say, I'm wrong."

"I made He Shiwei breach the confidentiality agreement. Because of my fault, Nightfall has to pay LGM. Because of me..."

Luo Lin lowered his eyes and asked in a low voice:

"Is that the only way you can go back? Brother He..."

Zhang Yishan shook his head: "I think that's the only way to go. My brother has already done too much for me. He has to bear the responsibility for such a mistake... And... LGM originally considered firing you. "

Luo Lin opened his eyes wide: "Huh?"

Zhang Yishan frowned bitterly:

"It's not about firing Alfred, but about you. Because once He Zhiwei's confidentiality agreement is breached, all his previous promises will be deemed void. You are an employee in Nightfall, and you speak the same language as us. LGM directly considers you I already know the content of the training mission - the sponsor of the mission has already been found, and it is impossible to change it, so all unfair factors must be removed. It was He Shiwei who promised to pay twice the compensation, and drew up another one. The second leaked letter of guarantee, and asking Rohan and Sith...that's why you stayed. Otherwise, because of my fault...you, you won't be able to stay here."

Luo Lin clenched his fingers tightly.

"I really, I really don't know how to make it up to you...if it wasn't for my brother...I...really..."

Finally, Luo Lin exhaled and said to Zhang Yishan:

"Things have happened, and it's even more sad to think about it now...I didn't expect you to do so much to make me stay."

Zhang Yishan raised his head and gave Luo Lin a sad smile:

"...I almost ruined your chance."

Luo Lin smiled, still very gentle: "But now I can continue to compete. It's just competing with an opponent who knows the schedule. It's not that I will definitely lose, let alone how much I will lose." tragic."

"Luo Lin, you..."

Luo Lin lowered his eyes and laughed, then looked up at Zhang Yishan and lowered his voice: "It's strange, I don't think I've ever wanted to win this much in my life."

……

Half a world away, He Shiwei was sitting in his office, frowning and closing his eyes, leaning back on the office chair.

It was already eleven o'clock in the evening in the East Eighth District.On this day, the employees of Nightfall saw their big boss with a livid face early in the morning, shutting himself in the office alone, and hardly ever came out.

They don't know how many things He Shiwei did during this day.

He Shiwei now let out a long sigh.He originally had a suffocated anger that he didn't vent, but when Wu Zi hung up the phone, he suddenly felt at a loss.

That was the person who hung up his phone, it couldn't be Zhang Yishan.

He Shiwei smiled wryly and shook his head.

However, while he was recuperating, someone knocked on the door of his office——

"Xiaowei?"

He Shiwei accidentally fell off the back of the chair when he heard this name.He hurriedly supported the table to stabilize his body, and smiled embarrassedly at the visitor: "Uncle...why are you here?"

A tall, thin man in black came in, took off his gloves, and smiled at He Shi.Just looking at his figure, he is no different from a young and middle-aged man, but if you look closely, his face is only about 40 years old.

But this man, Zhang Yukun - is Zhang Yishan's father.

He Shiwei has always been very close to this uncle.Compared with the unkind old man in his family, although Zhang Yukun is vigorous and resolute in the mall, he is more caring for He Shiwei.When he was a child, He Shiwei doubted whether he was his uncle's son.

So even if he was called "Xiaowei" by this person from childhood to adulthood... He Shiwei endured "hard work".

Zhang Yukun has deep eyebrows and a good demeanor.He looked at He Shiwei again, then took out a booklet with a dark purple cover from the side pocket of his jacket, and placed it on He Shiwei's desk.

That is a passport.

He Shiwei raised his head in surprise.

Zhang Yukun laughed, his eyes became a line.He said:

"I heard that you are in some trouble. I asked someone to do this. If you need it, you can use it directly. Even if your father wants to stop you this time, he won't be able to stop you."

He Shi smiled dryly twice, and took the passport.But as if thinking of something, his expression became a little embarrassed again: "But this time about Yishan... I still..."

Zhang Yukun seemed to be amused by what he said, and shook his head helplessly: "You child... I didn't come here to intercede with Yishan. You are his boss, so don't be soft-hearted if you should teach him a lesson. I just watched I'm not used to He Zhanyan's way of controlling you... If you want to go somewhere, just go."

He Shiwei sniffed, then smiled at Zhang Yukun.
