Mindful

The off-road chassis was high, and Liang Cheng half-supported and half-carried Qiao Yuanlin into the co-pilot.

"I don't sit." Qiao Yuanlin drilled out, "...I don't sit on the golden cup."

Liang Cheng was stunned for a moment, he had spoiled him out of his psychological shadow, and said: "There is no gold cup, this is not a van."

Qiao Yuanlin turned his head and stared at the car logo on the steering wheel, stopped making a fuss, turned around and said flatteringly: "Brother Ying, you drive a Mercedes... You and the fourth child are both developed, so you have to cover me."

Taking advantage of the confusion, Liang Cheng asked, "What about Liang Cheng?"

Qiao Yuanlin frowned slightly, probably enduring the great unhappiness, gagging and coughing.Liang Cheng unscrewed the mineral water, squeezed his chin and gave him two sips, and said, "I make you want to vomit?"

"You can't vomit." Qiao Yuanlin muttered, "Meals are quite expensive."

Liang Cheng felt like he was talking to the kid from back then, and said, "Are you happy after eating delicious food?"

Qiao Yuanlin raised his hand and almost slapped Liang Cheng, and then said indignantly: "Why are you happy, they eat so fast... I just tasted the lobster, and I was not full at all."

Liang Cheng fastened his seat belt on him, closed the car door, and returned to the restaurant lobby to pack a shrimp risotto with soy milk.

Eight years ago, the price of soy milk had not changed, and there was little profit. Ying Xiaoqiong went to the freezer to get the last box, and said, "It's been so many years, is it okay?"

Liang Cheng criticized: "Is your restaurant's price increase too much, and you can't get enough to eat if you spend more than 2000."

"What's not going up these days." Ying Xiaoqiong's sarcastic remarks surpassed the central air conditioner, "The age has gone up. Back then, high school students were all working, and maybe they had been in love several times."

Liang Cheng picked up the takeaway and said, "Then hurry up, after all, you're over 30 and you haven't left the order yet."

Ying Xiaoqiong said wickedly: "At least it's not like some people who haven't desensitized in their thirties."

Liang Cheng was completely defeated. Back in the car, Qiao Yuanlin leaned against the car door and fell into a "coma". It was the first time he drank alcohol, his head, face, and neck were neon-colored, hot, and he rubbed against the glass window from time to time.

The car started, and Qiao Yuanlin grabbed the air in front of him, groping for the seat belt.The young man has grown up, and at a certain moment, he flashes the same mood as before, which makes people feel a little dazed.

Liang Cheng stretched out his hand and lightly touched Qiao Yuanlin's hair.He didn't know Qiao Yuanlin's address, if he took it back to him without authorization, he would be embarrassed or unhappy after waking up, and he might be even more resistant to him.

Passing the road sign on the street corner, he suddenly thought that the neighborhood where Qiao Wenyuan and He Jie lived was nearby, and the medicines at home were complete. Even if Qiao Yuanlin woke up and chased him away, there would still be someone to take care of him.

The house was on the first floor. Qiao Wenyuan and He Jie were watching TV in the living room when they heard the sound of a car. Looking at the window, they saw Liang Cheng helping the unconscious Qiao Yuanlin out of the car.

Qiao Wenyuan immediately thought of the worst scenario, sweating all over his face, the remote control fell to the ground, rushed to the entrance and opened the door.

He Jie chased after her and asked, "Liang Cheng, what's going on? What's wrong with Yuan Lin?"

"It's okay." Liang Cheng said, "He was having dinner with colleagues at my friend's restaurant and drank too much."

The smell of wine was light, but Qiao Wenyuan breathed a sigh of relief. He has practiced medicine for decades and witnessed countless lives and deaths. This old life was almost scared away by his own son.

After entering the house, Qiao Yuanlin was awakened by the light, half hung on Liang Cheng's body, and asked, "Whose house is this..."

Qiao Wenyuan's face was extremely ugly, and he said, "Liang Cheng, let him go and let him stand by himself."

He Jie said anxiously: "You are losing your temper now and the child can't understand, let him rest first, okay?"

"He is very capable, knowing that his health is not good, he learned to drink from others!" Qiao Wenyuan said angrily, "Rest, let him go, and no one will take care of him!"

Qiao Yuanlin moved in front of Qiao Wenyuan with small steps, with an innocent expression on his face, as if he was about to admit his mistake and beg for mercy in the next second, but he asked back, "Qiao Wenyuan, what are you shouting for?"

Qiao Wenyuan took off his glasses and stared at the unfilial son: "I can't be your father anymore, whoever wants to be!"

"Why are you yelling!" Qiao Yuanlin Jiuzhuang was cowardly, "Aren't you just a vice president? Are you awesome? You have ignored me for several years, why are you a father! Love is not right!"

Qiao Wenyuan was about to vomit blood: "Are you going to rebel?!"

Qiao Yuanlin said: "You don't love me at all! You will order me, if you love me, buy me a car, and I will drive fast!"

Liang Cheng: "..."

After Qiao Yuanlin scolded his father, he turned to look at He Jie, feeling more and more emotional: "Also, and you, how many times have you called me since you were transferred? You are always busy, remarried and have children when you are free. You just don't have time for me!"

He Jie knew that he had made a mistake, so she said, "Yuan Lin, that's not the case..."

The more Qiao Yuanlin talked, the more wronged she became, exhausted and wilted: "You have a healthy child, so you dislike me, don't you...you don't care about me."

He turned around staggeringly, was supported by Liang Cheng, raised his head, looked pitifully stupid, and said, "Handsome guy, judge me."

After the family ethics drama ended, Qiao Wenyuan took a piece of antihypertensive medicine and fell asleep in the middle of the night. He Jie had nothing to do with her, but she couldn't sleep because of tossing and turning.

Liang Cheng carried Qiao Yuanlin onto the bed in the bedroom, snoring as he wrung out the towel, and finally behaved, he undressed and wiped his face, and when he wiped his eyelids, he trembled and opened them tremblingly.

Qiao Yuanlin stared at him like a dream, in a strange room, with the same old aura, it was hard to tell whether it was eight years ago or eight years later.

"Brother." He murmured.

Liang Cheng squeezed out the dripping water from the towel, and dripped it on the floor through his fingers. He responded: "Yes."

Qiao Yuanlin only uttered this word, then lost consciousness and gradually fell asleep, snoring lightly for a long time like a sob, Liang Cheng stayed by the bed until the hot towel became cool and dry, and the morning light drove out the moonlight.

At six o'clock, the weekday alarm clock rang on time.

Qiao Yuanlin slowly opened his eyes, feeling a bit of a headache, and saw the crystal chandelier, corrugated plaster lines, and dartboards on the wall, and realized that this was the bedroom of his new home.

Turn off the alarm clock, there are several unread messages on the phone, all of which are colleagues asking him if he is home.

Qiao Yuanlin tried hard to recall, he drank a glass of beer at the dinner party last night, and he stayed to pay the bill after it was over... Opening the payment bill, he was a little puzzled, why is there no payment record?

Could it be that he didn't have enough money, the restaurant called Qiao Wenyuan, and Qiao Wenyuan redeemed him?

Qiao Yuanlin seemed to have lost his memory, and everything after the dinner was completely fragmented.After washing up, he carefully walked out of the bedroom with his bag on his hands, intending to act accordingly.

In the dining room, Qiao Wenyuan was sitting upright, his face darker than the bottom of the pot, He Jie also looked like he hadn't slept well, and the soy milk fried dough sticks he just bought were placed on the table.

Qiao Yuanlin asked tentatively, "Is there any part for me?"

"Of course there is." He Jie said, "There is also a packaged shrimp risotto, do you want to eat it, I will warm it up for you."

Qiao Yuanlin was stunned when he saw the soy milk on the table.At this moment, Liang Cheng came out from another guest room, he squinted for a moment when it was almost dawn, his eyes turned blue.

The first meal of the four people gathered was serious. Qiao Wenyuan put down his chopsticks after taking two mouthfuls, and asked, "Are you sober?"

Qiao Yuanlin said with a guilty conscience, "Yes, I'm awake."

Qiao Wenyuan issued an ultimatum, saying: "Don't delay, move back in these two days."

Qiao Yuanlin was surprised that he was not scolded, and he could hear a trace of helplessness in his father's tone.

"If you have grievances, you can say that you are not allowed to drink anymore." Qiao Wenyuan said earnestly, "I didn't take good care of you before. From now on, the family will be together for a long time."

Qiao Yuanlin was flattered: "I know."

"You want a car, go check it out this weekend, but you just graduated and driving a Mercedes is too ostentatious."

Qiao Yuanlin squeezed the soy milk so that a line appeared. What the hell did he do last night? Not only was his father not angry, but he wanted to buy him a car?

He Jie also persuaded: "Yuan Lin, this is your home, come back and live."

As soon as the elder let go, Qiao Yuanlin couldn't harden his heart. He poured sweet soy milk again, and nodded in a daze.

Qiao Wenyuan felt relieved, and said to Liang Cheng: "Xiao Liang, you have a successful career, so you don't need to worry about your elders, but you can move here if you want."

Liang Cheng said, "No, I'm used to it myself."

"Anyway, you can come and live at any time, and treat it as your own home." Qiao Wenyuan said, "Last night, it's fortunate that you sent Yuan Lin back, otherwise it would not be embarrassing for him to be drunk outside."

Qiao Yuanlin suddenly raised his head, Liang Cheng sent him back?

Qiao Wenyuan said: "If such a grown-up person knows how to be polite, he won't even say a word of thanks."

Qiao Yuanlin couldn't remember exactly what happened, so embarrassed and dizzy, she got up and said, "I can't be late, I have to go to work first."

Seeing the Mercedes-Benz when he went out, some images appeared in Qiao Yuanlin's mind, the lights flashed, he turned his head, and Liang Cheng opened the car behind. (****************)

Qiao Yuanlin caught a glimpse of the safety knot on the car key, it was so old, the light blue faded, and it was disgustingly shabby.

Liang Cheng shook his hand and said, "I'll see you off first, and I'll take a detour if I don't go the other way."

Along the way, the stereo sang five songs, and when they arrived at the gate of the TV station, Liang Cheng turned off the engine, and there was a sudden silence, and the sound of the car door being locked was very clear.

Qiao Yuanlin asked, "What are you doing?"

Liang Cheng took out his mobile phone, opened the WeChat QR code, and said, "Scan the code and add me as a friend."

All the messy old things came up, and Qiao Yuanlin replied in the same words: "There is no need for it."

Liang Cheng had expected this answer as early as the first time they met again, so he waited until now and said: "The meal for the dinner is two thousand and four, please transfer it to me after adding it."

Qiao Yuanlin: "..."

Liang Cheng completely blocked the road: "I don't have Alipay, I don't remember the card number, and the cash needs to be checked."

Qiao Yuanlin's head was buzzing. Forced by the moral constraints of debt repayment, he scanned the QR code with his mobile phone, and the avatar that popped up was a white puppy. He had mixed feelings, and he was slow for half a minute before sending the application.

The person who disappeared that summer reappeared at the top of the list. He transferred two thousand and four and said, "Can you open the door?"

Liang Cheng unlocked the car: "Go."

He watched Qiao Yuanlin enter the TV station building and picked up his cell phone.He was the one who deleted it at the beginning, but now he is the one who added it back. His behavior is rogue, his methods are childish, and he is even more annoying than before.

Throughout the morning, Qiao Yuanlin experienced various emotions, and after mixing them, he appeared in a state of bewilderment.

The phone rang, and the second landlord sent a text message reminding him that the apartment is about to expire, please renew the contract in advance.He didn't reply, scratching the back of his head in annoyance, wishing he could go on a business trip and escape from reality immediately.

The team leader said happily, "What are you doing? You didn't change your clothes. Didn't you go home yesterday?"

Qiao Yuanlin hesitated: "I'm back..." The office was half empty, and he looked around and found that there were two people missing from the photography team, "Huh? Why didn't Sister Meng and Wang An come, and Lord Xiang?"

The team leader said: "The flight at noon flies to Beijing, so they won't come over in the morning."

Qiao Yuanlin was shocked. He was on a business trip today. Why didn't he receive the notice? !

At this time, Sun Zhuo walked in with a briefcase and a cup of latte in his hands, went to the door of the office, and said, "Little Qiao, come here."

Qiao Yuanlin tidied up his appearance in a hurry, went in and closed the door, just in time for Sun Zhuo to take a sip of his latte and put it on a familiar piece of paper.He took a closer look, and it turned out to be his business trip application.

"Oh." Sun Zhuo pulled it out, "Your team leader approved it, but I rejected it."

It was only when he had a low EQ that he asked the leader why. Qiao Yuanlin held back his heartache and asked with a high EQ, "Boss, do you have any other instructions?"

Sun Zhuolian gave him a document, which was a preliminary plan, and said, "I'm going to make a special interview with medical staff. In fact, I have an idea for a long time. My father was sick and delayed for a while."

According to the general process, it is necessary to determine the qualifications, investigation background, and risk estimation, and then screen the hospitals in the city, and finally negotiate with the relevant person in charge.

When Qiao Yuanlin heard the plan from Sun Zhuo, he guessed the purpose: "You want me to participate in the production?"

"Smart." Sun Zhuo replied, "And I already have a suitable candidate. Guess who it is?"

Qiao Yuanlin thought to himself, he knows him?Could it be Qiao Wenyuan?

Sun Zhuo said, "I think Dr. Liang is good."

Qiao Yuanlin's eyes darkened, this is too outrageous.With Liang Cheng's character, it is impossible to be interviewed on the show. Besides, he has had an accident, and if he becomes a public figure, he will have endless troubles if he is found out of his criminal record.

Sun Zhuo said: "Actually, I mentioned it to Dr. Liang, and he said he wasn't interested. After all, he is a young talent from a prestigious school, and he can understand if he is a little arrogant."

Qiao Yuanlin took advantage of the situation and said, "Since he refused—"

"So I'm going to ask you to try it." Sun Zhuo interrupted him, "Go and persuade, brother, it can be seen that he loves you very much."

Qiao Yuanlin almost asked, how did you see that he loves me? !

Without waiting for him to refute, Sun Zhuo said softly and firmly: "This is the first job assignment I gave you after you joined the company. Our department is not easy to advance, Xiao Qiao, let me see your ability and value."

Qiao Yuanlin was speechless. Sun Zhuo praised him as a good seedling. He was the only one who stayed in the news center. He certainly didn't want to let the other party down.

Coming out of the office, Qiao Yuanlin hid in the tea room and poured a large glass of water.

He agreed to Sun Zhuo, but he couldn't guarantee success. In fact, he was sure that Liang Cheng would refuse, and he himself didn't want Liang Cheng to participate.

Sun Zhuo did not let go, wishing him a successful completion of the task.

Qiao Yuanlin opened WeChat, did he say it directly or make an appointment?Damn, I wanted to drag you a little bit, but I will blackmail Liang Cheng after collecting the money, now he has to take the initiative to contact.

Click on the little white dog's profile picture, but he didn't accept the two thousand and four. He found the opening line and asked: Why didn't you take the money?

Soon, Liang Cheng replied: If I accept it, will you block me?

Qiao Yuanlin was guessed, and said: Will you accept it or not?

Liang Cheng: Just owe it.

Qiao Yuanlin couldn't speak because of business, and wanted to lose his temper. He edited and deleted a line of words over and over again.

Liang Cheng: I've typed [-] characters, now I'm writing a press release.

In desperation, Qiao Yuanlin nonsense said: I just want to ask... what model is your car?

There is no reply for a long time, Liang Cheng must be busy.

Qiao Yuanlin really wrote the manuscript for a whole day, and whenever Sun Zhuo came in and out, he buried his head very deeply, for fear of being called over to order some weird things.

He stayed up until it was time to get off work, and he waited until the last one to leave. The sunset was infinitely beautiful, and the uncles at the gate guard booth all ran out to see the scenery.

"Who do you pick up? Those who work overtime can't leave, and those who don't work overtime all leave." The uncle chatted with people.

The man said: "I don't know whether to work overtime or not, let's try my luck."

The uncle enthusiastically said: "Which department, what is it called, I will call you and ask."

Qiao Yuanlin came out, under the afterglow of several years, Liang Cheng was lazily copying his pocket with his back against the car door, saw him, and said to the uncle: "Don't worry, I'm lucky."

As they got closer, Qiao Yuanlin asked knowingly, "Why are you here?"

After the car body was cleaned, Liang Cheng replied, "I forgot the model, I'll show you after I drive it."

The author has something to say: Qiao Wenyuan: Co-author, I say nothing
